This appropriation establishes a framework for joint Federal and State efforts to create opportunities for self-sustaining economic development and improved quality of life for
the people of Appalachia. Program investments are made in
the Appalachian Region for wide-ranging assistance including
development highways and other physical infrastructure,
business development, and human development. The States,
acting through the Appalachian Regional Commission, are
responsible for recommending local and State projects within
their borders for assistance under this program. Special
targeting to distressed counties is a part of the State allocation formula.
1. Appalachian development highway system.—The Appalachian development highway system, including local access
roads, is designed to improve the accessibility of Appalachia;
to reduce highway transportation costs to and within Appalachia; and to provide the highway transportation facilities
necessary to accelerate the overall development of Appalachia.
The budget for 1997 provides $83 million for highway construction.
The cumulative status of the system of roads, including
mileage prefinanced by the States, follows:
Development systems miles (Prefinanced miles included) (cumulative):
Miles contracted ..........................................................................
Miles completed ..........................................................................
Access Roads (cumulative):

2. Area development program.—Area development funds are
provided to each of the Appalachian States by allocation. This
funding is used to help the regional economy become more
competitive by putting in place the building blocks for selfsustaining economic development, while continuing to provide

special assistance to the Region’s most distressed and underdeveloped counties. In 1996, the Commission allocated 30%
of area development funding specifically to these 115 severely
distressed counties in addition to the overall State allocations.
Area development emphasis is placed on three sets of complementary activities: physical development, human development, and business development. Area development also encompasses the Commission’s regional initiatives, selected to
help accelerate the Region’s economic development. The 1996
regional initiatives include (1) internationalization of the
economy and its implications for Appalachia; (2) telecommunications; and (3) local leadership and civic development. Funding for these initiatives is expected to continue at a minimum
total of $6 million in 1997. The Federal Co-Chairman is leading the Commission in developing a fourth regional initiative
in ‘‘building entrepreneurial communities’’ and will seek additional resources from the area development allocation for this
purpose. The Commission completed a comprehensive strategic planning effort in 1996, which will guide 1997 and future
programs and project submissions. The budget for 1997 provides $78 million for area development.
Funding levels for physical development, human development, and business development activities are determined by
the project submissions in the Appalachian Governors’ State
Development Plans, which are approved annually at a meeting of the Federal Co-Chairman and a quorum of Governors.
The projects included are based on the Commission’s strategic
plan and the Governors’ strategies to accomplish the Commission’s mission. The following types of activities are expected
in 1997:
Physical Development activities provide for a wide array
of community-based projects, including basic infrastructure
(e.g., water and sewer, site development), State and local
government assistance, community improvement, and housing
development. The goal is to develop the physical infrastructure necessary for self-sustaining local economies. Public
works projects must either directly relate to job creation or
retention, or be key to the implementation of an adopted
State or local strategic plan. Exceptions are made for basic
services in designated distressed counties.
Human Development activities provide Appalachian residents with the skills and knowledge necessary to compete
in the world economy, and with access to affordable, quality
health care. Projects include increased use of telemedicine,
improving quality of and access to health care, development
of citizen leadership potential, youth leadership and training,
strengthening the Region’s education system—particularly in
entrepreneurship, math, science, and access to technology,
and telecommunications/distance learning. Upgrading the
skills of the workforce is critical to fostering long-term economic growth in the Region. Increases in the health and
education level of the workforce and in the advancement of
technology, which is achieved through education, can be directly correlated to gains in national income.
Business development activities provide Appalachian residents with access to financial and technical resources to help
build dynamic and self-sustaining local economies. Projects
can help communities develop strategies to build sustainable
local economies, increase Appalachian business cooperation
and collaboration, encourage the use of new processes and
technologies, upgrade the skills of workers and management,
encourage increased exporting among small and medium-sized
businesses, and support local planning efforts to enhance
tourism development.

are the mechanism for ensuring that the local governments

in Appalachia plan and work together on a regional basis.
They provide competent support staff to member governments
to plan, initiate, and implement projects at the grassroots
level. Technical assistance serves to strengthen the LDDs,
their staff and operations, and their member units of government. The 1997 budget provides $4 million for the LDDs
and $1 million for technical assistance, with the approximate
approved workload as follows:

The Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance
Board was established by section 502 of the Rehabilitation
Act of 1973 to ensure compliance with the Architectural Barriers Act of 1968. Its primary role is to carry out a compliance
program to ensure accessibility and usability of most Federal
and federally funded buildings by people with disabilities.
In 1995, the Board will continue to process, investigate, and
resolve complaints of noncompliance. Emphasis is on voluntary, amicable resolution of access issues.
The Board also develops Federal minimum accessibility
guidelines and requirements for the standards under the Architectural Barriers Act, and provides technical assistance to
public and private organizations affected by Federal accessibility regulations.
The Americans With Disabilities Act (P.L. 101–336) expanded the Board’s responsibilities to include (1) developing
accessibility guidelines for transportation vehicles and facilities, public accommodations, outdoor recreation, and communications; (2) implementing technical assistance programs in
the areas of transportation and public accommodations; (3)
developing and publishing technical assistance manuals for
entities covered under Titles II and III of the Act; and (4)
assisting the Department of Justice in certifying State and
local building codes to be used to comply with the ADA.
With the enactment of the Telecommunications Act of 1996
(P.L. 104–104), the Access Board has been given additional
guideline development responsibilities. The new law requires
the Access Board to develop accessibility guidelines for telecommunications equipment and customer premises equipment
within 18 months in conjunction with the Federal Communications Commission. The Board is also required to review
and update the guidelines periodically.

The former Board for International Broadcasting was established in 1973 to provide grants and oversight to Radio Free
Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL). RFE/RL broadcasts to Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. Pursuant to the
International Broadcasting Act of 1994 (the Act), the Board
for International Broadcasting Act of 1973 (P.L. 93–129) was
repealed on August 11, 1995 when the members of the new
Board of Broadcasting Governors (established by the 1994
Act) were confirmed. The BIB was also dissolved on that
date, with its responsibilities and duties being transferred
to the new Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG).
In 1995, USIA transferred funds from the International
Broadcasting Operations account to the former BIB for the
RFE/RL grant. In 1996 and 1997, the BBG will make the
grants to RFE/RL directly from the International Broadcasting Operations account.

COMMISSION ON NATIONAL AND
COMMUNITY SERVICE
Federal Funds
General and special funds:

The Commission plays a crucial role by identifying the underlying causes of discrimination in our country and recommending solutions. Factfinding, analysis, and recommendations are helpful to all citizens and political leaders as they
evaluate the status of existing civil rights protections. The
Administration pledges continued support for the Commission’s vital role in the civil rights arena. It’s our preference,
therefore, that the Commission receive a FY 1997 appropriation of $11.4 million in budget authority. While the table
above reflects a $9.3 million request in budget authority—
the result of budgetary constraints on limited Federal resources—the Administration’s preferred funding level is believed necessary to adequately support the Commission’s
work.

The Commission engages in studies concerning areas in
which there may be denials of civil rights and reports on
these matters to the President and the Congress. Hearings
by the Commissioners are held to investigate and obtain information about denials of civil rights. Conferences and open
meetings are held by staff and State Advisory Committees
to gather data and issue reports providing information about
civil rights problems. In addition, the Commission appraises
and reports on Federal agencies enforcement of civil rights
laws. Complaints alleging discrimination are referred to the
proper Federal agencies.
The Commission provides liaison with private groups, public groups, and the media to provide civil rights information
to Government officials, organizations, and the public. This
is accomplished through the issuance of Commission publications. In accordance with the 1994 legislation reauthorizing
the Commission, the Commission issues public service announcements to discourage discrimination and denial of equal
protection of the laws. The Commission also provides a library
resource to support civil rights research, studies, hearings,
and other Commission activities, and makes this information
available to the general public.

The Committee for Purchase From People Who Are Blind
or Severely Disabled was established by the Wagner-O’Day
Act of 1938, as amended. Its primary objective is to increase
the employment opportunities for people who are blind or
have other severe disabilities and, whenever possible, to prepare them to engage in competitive employment. In 1997,
approximately 29,000 people who are blind or have other severe disabilities are projected to be employed in over 600
producing nonprofit agencies. The Committee’s duties include
promoting the program; determining which commodities and
services are suitable for Government procurement from qualified nonprofit agencies serving people who are blind or have
other severe disabilities; maintaining a procurement list of
such commodities and services; determining the fair market
price for commodities and services on the procurement list;
and making rules and regulations necessary to carry out the
purposes of the Act. In 1997 the Committee expects to have
nearly 5,000 items on its Procurement List and sales of $695
million.
The Committee staff’s responsibilities include promoting
and assessing the overall program; supervising the selection
and assignment of new commodities and services; assisting
in establishing prices; reviewing and adjusting these prices;
verifying the qualifications of nonprofit agencies; and monitoring their performance.

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) administers the Commodity Exchange Act of 1936, as amended.
The purpose of the CFTC is to further the economic utility
of the futures markets by encouraging their efficiency, assuring their integrity, and protecting participants against abusive trade practices, fraud, and deceit. The object of commodity futures trading regulation is to enable the markets to
better serve their designated functions of providing a price
discovery mechanism and a means of offsetting price risk.
By properly serving these functions, the futures markets serve
the public interest by contributing toward better planning,
more efficient distribution and consumption, and more economical marketing. The commodity futures and options markets represent one of America’s most innovative and competitive contributions to the international financial services industry.

The Administration proposes additional resources above the
fiscal year 1996 level for the Commission. These increases
would enhance the Commission’s ability to investigate and
detect fraud and abuse and ensure the continued integrity
of the commodities markets. In addition, such increases would
provide the Commission with the enforcement and surveillance resources necessary to respond to the continued growth
and use of complex trading and derivative instruments.
Market surveillance, analysis and research.—Responsibilities under this program include daily surveillance of the market activity of large individual traders and fundamental economic market factors to insure orderly markets. Contract
terms and conditions are reviewed to insure conformity with
current cash marketing conditions and adequate deliverable
supplies. This program also systematically investigates the
functioning of markets and market users and develops better
tools to assist in detecting and preventing price distortions.

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting provides grants
to qualified public television and radio stations to be used
at their discretion for purposes related primarily to program
production or acquisition. The Corporation also supports the
production and acquisition of radio and television programs
for national distribution. In addition, the Corporation assists
in the financing of several system-wide activities, including
national satellite interconnection services and the payment
of music royalty fees, and provides limited technical assistance, research, and planning services to improve system-wide
capacity and performance. The appropriation for the Corporation is enacted two years in advance. For 1997, an appropriation of $315 million, later reduced by rescission to $260 million, was enacted in 1995.
For 1999, the Administration is requesting $275 million
for general programming and system support. Public broadcasting plays a vital role in the educational and cultural
development of our Nation. The proposed funding level will
allow the Corporation to maintain quality public service programming and to meet the needs of American public telecommunications. The table below illustrates the 1996–1999
funding levels.

peals under Article I of the United States Constitution. The
Court is empowered to review decisions of the Board of Veterans’ Appeals and may affirm, modify, revise, or remand a
decision of the Board of Veterans’ Appeals as it deems appropriate. The type of review performed by the Court is similar
to that which is performed in Article III courts under the
Administrative Procedure Act, title 5 U.S.C. §§ 551 et seq.
In actions before it, the Court has the authority to decide
all relevant questions of law, to interpret constitutional, statutory, and regulatory provisions, and to determine the meaning
or applicability of the terms of an action by the Secretary
of the Department of Veterans Affairs. The Court, being created by an act of Congress, may issue all writs necessary
or appropriate in aid of its jurisdiction, 28 U.S.C. § 1651.
The Court is empowered to: compel actions of the Secretary
that are found to have been unlawfully withheld or unreasonably delayed; and set aside decisions, findings, conclusions,
rules, and regulations issued or adopted by the Secretary,
the Board of Veterans’ Appeals, or the Chairman of the Board
that are found to be arbitrary or capricious. The Court may
also set aside decisions which are abuse of discretion or otherwise not in accordance with the law, contrary to constitutional
right, in excess of statutory jurisdiction or authority, or without observance of the procedures required by law. In cases
involving benefits under the laws administered by the Department, the Court may hold unlawful or set aside findings
of material facts if the findings are clearly erroneous.
The Court’s principal office location is Washington, D.C.;
however, it is a national court, empowered to sit anywhere
in the United States.
Practice Registration Fees.—This fund is established under
38 U.S.C. § 7285. The fund, which receives no appropriations,
will be used by the U.S. Court of Veterans Appeals to employ
independent counsel to pursue disciplinary matters involving
practitioners and to defray costs for the implementation of
the standards of practice before the Court.

The Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board, authorized
by Public Law 100–456, is responsible for evaluating the content and implementation of the standards relating to the design, construction, operation, and decommissioning of defense
nuclear facilities of the Department of Energy (as defined
in Public Law 100–456). In addition, the National Defense
Authorization Act for fiscal years 1992 and 1993 (Public Law
102–190) expanded the Board’s jurisdiction to include facilities and activities involved with the assembly, disassembly,
and testing of nuclear weapons, and to approve any DOE
plans to resume plutonium operations at the Rocky Flats
Plant, Golden, Colorado. The Board is also responsible for
investigating any event or practice at a defense nuclear facility which has or may adversely affect public health and safety. The Board shall make specific recommendations to the
Secretary of Energy on measures that should be adopted
which will ensure that public and worker health and safety
are adequately protected.

The annual Federal payment to the Government of the
District of Columbia compensates the District for the net costs
imposed by the presence of the Federal Government in Washington, D.C. While the Federal presence may actually add
more to District revenues than it does to operating costs
(because local income, property and sales tax receipts are
highly dependent on Federal employment in the city), a lumpsum, unrestricted Federal payment is provided to the District
Government each year to help fund local budgetary expenditures. A $660 million Federal payment is proposed for 1997.
This appropriation also includes a contribution of $104 million which represents an increase of $52 million from the
1995 actual level for the Federal share of payments to District
of Columbia retirement funds for police officers, fire fighters,
teachers and judges.

The purpose of the Export-Import Bank (Eximbank) is to
aid in financing and promoting U.S. exports. To accomplish
its objectives, the Bank’s authority and resources are used
to: assume commercial and political risks that exporters or
private institutions are unwilling or unable to undertake;
overcome maturity and other limitations in private sector export financing; assist U.S. exporters to meet foreign officially
sponsored export credit competition; and provide leadership
and guidance in export financing to the U.S. exporting and
banking communities and to foreign borrowers. The Bank
provides its export credit support through direct loan, loan
guarantee and insurance programs. The Bank is actively assisting small- and medium-sized businesses.
As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990,
this account records, for Eximbank, the subsidy costs associated with direct loans and direct grants obligated, and loan
guarantees and insurance committed in 1992 and beyond,
as well as administrative expenses. The subsidy amounts are
estimated on a present value basis; the administrative expenses are estimated on an accrual basis.

Operating results and financial condition.—The Bank is a
wholly owned Government corporation. Capital stock of $1
billion was purchased by the U.S. Treasury. In addition, the
Bank is authorized to borrow from the Treasury up to $6
billion. The Bank pays interest on such borrowings.
The Bank has a Reserve for Possible Credit Losses, which
provides for the risk of loss inherent in the lending process.
This reserve is a general reserve, available to absorb credit
losses related to the total loan portfolio. The reserve is increased by provisions charged to expenses and decreased by
charge-offs, net of recoveries.
The Provision for Possible Credit Losses is based on the
Bank’s evaluation of the adequacy of the Reserve, taking into
consideration a variety of factors, including repayment status
of loans, future risk factors, the relationship of the Reserve
to the portfolio, and worldwide economic conditions. Providing
for such possible losses does not imply that any loans will
be written off. It simply recognizes the fact that the prospects
for collection of some of the Bank’s loans are impaired. It
does not provide for losses on a country-by-country basis and
is intended only to provide an overall revaluation of the loan
portfolio.
The Bank’s net operating loss is estimated to be $295 million in 1996, compared with a loss of $1,318 million in 1995
and an operating loss of $806 million in 1994. Total Govern-

The Farm Credit System Financial Assistance Corporation
(FAC) was created by the Agricultural Credit Act of 1987
to provide funds to Farm Credit System institutions experiencing financial difficulties. The FAC was re-classified from
a Government-sponsored enterprise to a federal entity beginning in 1993, when most of the private capital in FAC, provided by the Farm Credit System, was rebated from the FAC
Trust Fund, pursuant to the 1989 Reconciliation and Agriculture Appropriations Acts. Authority for FAC to issue obligations and provide assistance expired in 1992, after $1.26
billion in FAC debt had been issued.
Except for debt issued for Capital Preservation cash-outs,
the U.S. Treasury pays all the interest on 15-year,
uncollateralized FAC obligations in the first five years, and
up to half the interest in the second five years. The system
is responsible for a greater share of the interest payment
in the second five years if retained earnings exceed five percent of assets. FAC estimates that the system will pay 80
percent of the fiscal year 1996 expense and 87 percent of
the fiscal year 1997 expense. The Farm Credit System is
required to eventually reimburse Treasury for these payments, and will redeem FAC debt upon maturity or call.
Proceeds of FAC debt issuances were paid into, and
amounts for assistance and other expenses were paid from,
the FAC Assistance Fund. The FAC Trust Fund holds and
rebates the private capital contributed by the Farm Credit
System. Remaining amounts in the Trust Fund are available
to cover System defaults on FAC principal and interest payments.

The Farm Credit System Insurance Corporation (Corporation) was established to ensure the timely payment of principal and interest on Farm Credit System (System) debt obligations purchased by investors. The Corporation collects insurance premiums from insured System banks based on the
level of accruing and non-accruing loans outstanding in each
bank’s loan portfolio. Congress established a secure base
amount of 2 percent of outstanding System obligations, or
such other amounts determined by its Board of Director to
be actuarially sound to maintain the Insurance Fund.
The Insurance Fund is available for payment on System
obligations if an insured System bank defaults on its primary
liability. The Insurance Fund is also available to ensure the
timely retirement of certain eligible borrower stock, pay the
operating costs of the Corporation and satisfy defaults by
system institutions on obligations issued by the Farm Credit
System Financial Assistance Corporation after amounts in
the FAC Trust Fund are exhausted. The Corporation can
exercise its authority to make loans, purchase System bank
assets or obligations, provide other financial assistance and
otherwise act to reduce its exposure to losses.
The Farm Credit System Reform Act of 1996 removed the
legislative requirement for a full-time separate Board for the
Insurance Corporation. Under this Act, members of the Farm
Credit Administration Board will continue to also constitute
the Board for the Insurance Corporation. The Administration
supports a separate Board for the Insurance Corporation, economically structured and staffed, to provide the maximum
level of independent decision-making to assure the safety and
soundness of the insurance fund.

The Telecommunications Act of 1996 provides for a major
restructuring of the Nation’s communications laws, promotes
universal service and open access to information networks,
and provides for flexible government regulations. Under the
Act, all interstate telecommunications carriers would be required to contribute funds, as prescribed by the FCC, to the
preservation and advancement of universal service. The contributions would be used to provide and upgrade facilities
and services, as prescribed by the FCC. Telecommunications
carriers would receive credit towards their contribution by
providing discount service to schools, libraries, and health
care providers in rural areas.

FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE
CORPORATION
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC or Corporation) was created by the Banking Act of 1933 to provide
protection for bank depositors and to foster sound banking
practices. The Financial Institutions Reform Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989 established the Bank Insurance Fund
(BIF), the Savings Association Insurance Fund (SAIF), and
the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation (FSLIC)
Resolution Fund (FRF). The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 generally requires the Corporation to use the least costly method to resolve failed banks
and mandates that the Corporation take prompt corrective
action against under-capitalized financial institutions.
The deposit insurance ceiling protection has been $100,000
since March 31, 1980. In order to accomplish its varied functions to protect depositors, the Corporation is authorized to
promulgate and enforce rules and regulations relating to the
supervision of insured institutions and to perform other regulatory and supervisory duties consistent with its responsibilities as an insurer. The Corporation is required to set assessment rates for insured financial institutions semi-annually
to build and maintain the reserves of the BIF and SAIF
to 1.25 percent of total insured deposits.

sured banks. The fund represents the accumulated net income
of the BIF and is reserved for the protection of depositors
in insured banks and for the payment of administrative and
insurance expenses. As of September 1995, BIF’s fund balance
totaled $25.6 billion, excluding reserves for future failed bank
resolutions. The net worth of the BIF reached 1.25 percent
of total insured deposits in May 1995.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement
Act of 1991 authorizes the FDIC to borrow up to $30 billion
from the Treasury to cover deposit insurance losses and provide additional loans from the Federal Financing Bank for
working capital purposes. The BIF is not expected to borrow
any of the $30 billion line of credit from the Treasury or
from the Federal Financing Bank to finance working capital
needs.

The Administration has proposed that a one-time special
assessment be imposed on SAIF-insured deposits to bring
SAIF up to its statutory 1.25 percent reserve ratio. In addition, the Administration’s proposal would spread responsibility for making interest payments on the Financing Corporation bonds across all FDIC-insured banks and thrifts. The
proposal would also shift some deposits that are currently
insured by SAIF to BIF, and require that FDIC rebate excess
premium income if the BIF reserve ratio exceeds 1.25 percent.
The proposal would merge SAIF with BIF in 1998, provided
that additional legislative action to eliminate the Federal
thrift charter has occurred. This proposal also has effects
that are subject to PAYGO and included in the schedules
below.

The Administration has also proposed that all bank-holding
companies and FDIC-insured banks be required to pay fees
to the appropriate Federal banking agency in amounts sufficient to defray the agency’s cost of supervising such institutions. The appropriate Federal banking agency, in establishing fees for State banks, shall take into account the extent
to which State bank supervision reduces the need for Federal
supervision. Fees would not apply to State banks with assets
of less than $100 million. Currently, some financial institutions are not required to pay Federal fees for examinations.
This proposal is intended to reduce the inequity among FDICinsured banks. The schedules below also include the BIF/
SAIF proposal effects, from above, that are subject to PAYGO.

The SAIF insures depository institutions formerly insured
by the FSLIC. In July 1995, SAIF assumed responsibility
for resolving failed thrifts from the Resolution Trust Corporation (RTC).
The RTC Completion Act of 1993 authorizes the Secretary
of the Treasury to transfer excess RTC funds to SAIF to
cover thrift insurance losses for a period of two years after
termination of the RTC if the Chairperson of the FDIC certifies that losses cannot be paid through higher insurance
premiums. In addition, the RTC Completion Act authorized
the appropriation of up to $8 billion to cover SAIF losses.

The Administration has proposed that a one-time special
assessment be imposed on SAIF-insured deposits to bring
SAIF up to its statutory 1.25 percent reserve ratio. In addition, the Administration’s proposal would spread responsibility for making interest payments on the Financing Corporation bonds across all FDIC-insured banks and thrifts. The
proposal would also shift some deposits that are currently
insured by SAIF to BIF, and require that FDIC rebate excess
premium income if the BIF reserve ration exceeds 1.25 percent. The proposal would merge SAIF with BIF in 1998, provided that additional legislative action to eliminate the Federal thrift charter has occurred.

The FRF is the successor to FSLIC assets and liabilities
from thrift resolutions prior to August 1989. Beginning in
August 1989, the RTC assumed responsibility for the FSLIC’s
unresolved cases.
On December 31, 1995, the RTC was terminated and its
assets and liabilities were transferred to FRF. The 1996 budget for FRF reflects the transfer and shows three calendar
quarters of combined operations.
Funds for FRF operations have come from: income earned
on its assets; liquidation proceeds from receiverships established prior to January 1, 1989; the proceeds of the sale
of bonds by the Financing Corporation; and a portion of insurance premiums paid by SAIF members prior to 1993. The
Act authorizes appropriations to make up for any shortfall.
The FRF will terminate upon the disposition of all its assets,
and any net proceeds will be paid to the Treasury.
In accordance with the RTC Completion Act of 1993, the
FDIC and RTC affordable housing programs were fully
merged on August 7, 1995. While both programs are carried
out by the FDIC Affordable Housing Program Office, separate
accounting is maintained for FDIC and RTC assets. The affordable housing program for former RTC assets is funded
out of FRF. The table below shows estimates for the affordable housing program in 1996 and 1997, assuming all remaining RTC affordable housing properties will be sold in 1996.

Office of the Inspector General (OIG) activities include audits and investigations, and the prevention and detection of
fraud, waste, and mismanagement in the disposition of failed
banking institutions’ assets by the FDIC. The Resolution
Trust Corporation Completion Act of 1993 requires a
Presidentally appointed Inspector General. Separately, the
OIG Act of 1978 requires each agency with a Presidentially
appointed Inspector General to prepare a separate budget
statement. Prior to the RTC Completion Act, the FDIC’s Inspector General was an administrative position established
by the FDIC Board. In accordance with the RTC Completion
Act, the FDIC OIG was merged with the RTC OIG on December 31, 1995. The remaining obligations and appropriated
funds of the RTC OIG were transferred to the FRF with
all other RTC assets and liabilities.

Section 40 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act authorizes
the FDIC to carry out an affordable housing program. Under
the program, single and multifamily properties in FDIC’s inventory that are appraised below a certain threshold are held
off the general market for a period of 180 days. During that
period, only low-income families and individuals, and public
agencies and nonprofit organizations that agree to low-income
rent restrictions are allowed to bid on the properties. In 1995,
the FDIC sold 781 single family properties for a total of
$42 million and 182 multifamily properties for a total of $88
million. In accordance with the Resolution Trust Corporation
Completion Act, the FDIC and RTC affordable housing programs were fully merged on August 7, 1995. While both programs are carried out by the FDIC Affordable Housing Program Office, separate accounting is maintained for FDIC and
RTC assets.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency is committed
to strategic planning and clear articulation of what the Agency wants to accomplish. The 1997 budget integrates performance goals and objectives for key program activities that are
precise and measurable, and that are being communicated
to the entire organization and understood by all stakeholders,
such as our State and local partners in emergency management. These goals and objectives for the activities below include: engendering fundamental changes in perception so that
the public demands safer communities in which to live and
work, and to reduce by a measurable degree the loss of life,
injuries, economic costs, and destruction of natural and cultural resources resulting from natural hazards; reducing by
a measurable degree the number of injuries/deaths due to
fire and related emergencies through FEMA’s public awareness, educational materials, and anti-arson strategies; and
ensuring that the nation’s key emergency management personnel have the requisite skills to perform their jobs effectively.
Response and recovery.—This activity provides for the development and maintenance of an integrated operational capability to respond to and recover from the consequences of a
disaster, regardless of its cause, in partnership with other
Federal agencies, State and local governments, volunteer organizations, and the private sector.
Preparedness, training and exercises.—This activity provides
policy guidance, financial and technical assistance, training,
and exercise support required to establish or enhance the
emergency management capabilities of Federal, State, and
local governments.
Fire prevention and training.—This activity prepares Federal, State and local officials, their staffs, emergency first
responders, volunteer groups, and the public to meet the responsibilities of domestic emergencies through planning, mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery. The United
States Fire Administration has responsibility for all fire and
emergency medical service programs and training activities.
Educational programs are provided through the National Fire
Academy, at the National Emergency Training Center, and
through the field fire training delivery systems.
Operations support.—This activity provides agency-wide
program support services, such as logistics management and
security.
Information technology services.—This activity provides
leadership and direction for management of information technology resources, automated data processing, telecommuni-

NATIONAL FLOOD INSURANCE FUND
For activities under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, the
Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, and the National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994, not to exceed $20,981,000 for salaries and
expenses associated with flood mitigation and flood insurance operations, and not to exceed $78,464,000 for flood mitigation, including
up to $20,000,000 for expenses under section 1366 of the National
Flood Insurance Act, which amount shall be available until September
30, 1998. In fiscal year 1997, no funds in excess of (1) $47,000,000
for operating expenses, (2) $335,680,000 for agents’ commissions and
taxes, and (3) $35,000,000 for interest on Treasury borrowings shall
be available from the National Flood Insurance Fund without prior
notice to the Committees on Appropriations.
Note.—A regular 1996 appropriation for this account had not been enacted at the time
this budget was prepared. The 1996 amounts included in this budget are based on the
levels provided in three continuing resolutions: P.L. 104–91, P.L. 104–92, and P.L. 104–
99.

The National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended,
authorizes the Federal Government to provide flood insurance
on a national basis. Flood insurance may be sold or continued
in force only in communities which enact and enforce appropriate flood plain management measures. Communities must
participate in the program within one year of the time they
are identified as flood prone in order to be eligible for flood
insurance and some forms of Federal financial assistance for
acquisition or construction purposes. In 1997, the budget assumes collection of all of the administrative and program
costs associated with flood insurance activities from policy
holders.
Under the emergency program, structures in identified
flood-prone areas are eligible for limited amounts of coverage
at subsidized insurance rates. Under the regular program,
studies must be made of different flood risks in flood-prone
areas to establish actuarial premium rates. These rates are
charged for insurance on new construction. Coverage is available on virtually all types of buildings and their contents

in amounts up to $350 thousand for residential and $1 million
for other types.
Budget program—Insurance underwriting expense.—Cost of
initiating and maintaining flood insurance policies is estimated at $383 million in 1997.
Loss and adjustment expense.—Insured flood losses and associated loss adjustment expense is estimated at $591 million
in 1997.
Interest expense.—Interest expenses for Treasury borrowings are projected; a ceiling of $35 million is requested to
cover charges for purchasing Treasury securities and possible
unanticipated interest costs.
The budget proposes to recover the cost of the following
activities from policyholders and to reimburse other appropriations in FEMA’s budget:
Flood studies and surveys.—These studies are estimated
at $52 million in 1997.
Flood hazard reduction.—This activity, which includes
grants to States, is estimated at $7 million in 1997.
Mitigation assistance.—This activity is estimated at $20
million for 1997.
Salaries and expenses.—This activity provides for salaries
and related expenses of all Federal staff administering the
National Flood Insurance Program and is estimated at $21
million in 1997.
Financing.—The Administrator is authorized to borrow up
to $1 billion to carry out the program. The program is financed through premium income and appropriations to repay
borrowing.
Operating results.—The program achieved its goal of becoming self-supporting for the average loss year. Flood insurance
rates will be closely monitored and adjusted as necessary
so that the program maintains its self-supporting status and
continues to cover the cost of salaries and expenses and program activities for flood insurance and mitigation.

Disaster assistance loans authorized by the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (Public
Law 100–707) are loans to States of the non-Federal portion
of cost-sharing funds, and community disaster loans to local
governments incurring substantial loss of tax and other revenues as a result of a major disaster. The funds requested
for this program include direct loans and a subsidy based
on criteria including loan amount and interest charged.
As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990,
this account records for this program the subsidy costs associated with the direct loans obligated in 1992 and beyond (including modifications of direct loans), as well as administrative expenses of this program. The subsidy amounts are estimated on a present value basis; the administrative expenses
are estimated on a cash basis.

The Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 (Public Law 101–73, August 9, 1989) established the Appraisal Subcommittee of the Federal Financial
Institutions Examination Council. Subsequent legislation
(Public Law 101–235) authorized the Secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development to designate a
member of the Appraisal Subcommittee.
The Subcommittee is charged with ensuring that real estate
appraisals used in federally-related transactions are performed in accordance with uniform standards by appraisers
certified and licensed by the States. Its responsibilities include: (1) monitoring the requirements established by the
States for the certification and licensing of appraisers; (2)
monitoring the requirements established by the Federal financial institutions’ regulatory agencies regarding appraisal
standards; (3) monitoring and reviewing the practices, procedures, activities, and organization of the Appraisal Foundation; and (4) maintaining a national registry of licensed and
certified appraisers.
Subcommittee activities, including grants awarded to the
Appraisal Foundation, were initially funded from a one-time

The Federal Labor Relations Authority (FLRA) serves as
a neutral party in the settlement of disputes that arise between unions, employees, and agencies on matters outlined
in the Federal Service Labor Management Relations Statute,
decides major policy issues, prescribes regulations, and disseminates information appropriate to the needs of agencies,
labor organizations, and the public. Establishment of the
FLRA gives full recognition to the role of the Federal Government as an employer.
In addition, the FLRA is engaged in training and facilitation in labor-management partnerships and in resolving disputes in its unified Collaboration and Alternative Dispute
Resolution Program. Training and facilitation workload is reflected in the following manner: the FLRA promotes labormanagement cooperation by providing training and assistance
to labor organizations and agencies on resolving disputes; facilitates the creation of partnerships as called for in Executive
Order 12871; and trains the parties on rights and responsibil-

Within the Authority, Administrative Law Judges hold
hearings on unfair labor practice complaints, issuing reports,
and making recommendations to the Authority on each case
to allow timely settlement of disputes arising between agencies and unions. The Authority also provides all components
with administrative services.

The Federal Maritime Commission (the Commission) regulates the domestic offshore and international waterborne commerce of the United States. In addition, the Commission has
responsibility for the licensing of ocean freight forwarders,
ensuring that non-vessel-operating common carriers are
tariffed and bonded, ensuring that vessel owners or operators
establish financial responsibility for death or injury to passengers or other persons on voyages to and from U.S. ports,
and indemnification of passengers for the nonperformance of
transportation. Major program areas for 1997 will concentrate
on: carrying out investigations of foreign trade practices under
the Foreign Shipping Practices Act; implementing and operating a system to computerize the filing of tariffs; pursuing
an active enforcement program designed to identify and prosecute violators of the shipping statutes; and completing various stages of automation. Legislation will be proposed in
1997 to fund the Commission through user fees starting in
1998.

THRIFT SAVINGS FUND

The following schedules reflect those for the Thrift Savings
Fund which is not in the Federal budget.
The Thrift Savings Fund is composed of individual accounts
maintained by the Federal Retirement Thrift Investment
Board on behalf of the individual Federal employee participants in the Fund. All Federal employees are eligible to contribute to the Fund. However, only those employees covered
by the Federal Employees’ Retirement System will have their
contributions matched by employing agencies in accordance
with the formulas prescribed by law. Employees are entitled
to select how contributions are distributed among three investment funds: a Government Securities Investment Fund;
a Fixed Income Index Investment Fund; and a Common Stock
Index Investment Fund.
Employee participation in the Fund is entirely voluntary,
so actual results could vary significantly from these estimates.
The estimated status of the three separate funds is shown
below:

The Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board is responsible for managing the Thrift Savings Fund (Fund). The Thrift
Savings Fund is a special tax-deferred savings fund established by the Federal Employees’ Retirement System Act of
1986. Due to the fiduciary nature of the Thrift Savings Fund,
the Fund is not included in the totals of the Federal budget.
Information on the financial status and activities of the Thrift
Savings Fund follows this account.
Program administration for the Thrift Savings Fund is financed from the Fund. Program expenses are derived first
from Fund forfeitures of agency one percent automatic contributions for employees who, subsequently, separate from the

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC or Commission) is
charged by law with ensuring that competition in the marketplace is vigorous, free, and fair. This is accomplished by eliminating threats to fair and honest competition from all sources,
both public and private.
Maintaining competition.—The Commission’s efforts are
aimed at fostering and preserving our competitive system
with the goal of maximizing consumer welfare. In addition
to enforcing the antitrust laws against private sector restraints on competition, the Commission also scrutinizes regulatory policies that unduly restrain competition, and encourages policymakers to harness the benefits of competition when
in the development of such policies.
Consumer protection.—The Commission is charged with
eliminating unfair or deceptive acts or practices affecting commerce. The goal of the consumer protection mission is to
improve market performance so that consumers can make
informed choices when exercising their purchasing power. To
accomplish this goal, the Commission will: remove harmful
private and public restrictions on market performance; encourage business to provide consumers with accurate and useful information; and reinforce market forces that enhance
consumer welfare.
The President’s budget for 1997 provides a total of 979
workyears. The program level for the Commission would increase from $100.9 million in 1996 to $104.5 million in 1997,
allowing the Commission to continue to pursue its missions.
The programs administered by the FTC are funded by appropriated funds and fees assessed for premerger notification
filings under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act, as required by section
605 of Public Law 101–162, as amended. The FTC will use
$69.5 million in premerger filings fees to finance its activities,
of which $10.6 million is derived from estimated carryover
fee balances.

have been added to it for budgetary oversight. To improve
oversight, the Intelligence Community Management Account
(ICMA) replaces the CMS as the umbrella account to hold
those programs that directly support the Director of Central
Intelligence (DCI) and the Intelligence Community as a
whole. The ICMA now includes the CMS, the Environmental
Intelligence and Applications program, the National Intelligence Council, the Center for Security Evaluations, the Information Systems Secretariat, the Controlled Access Program
Coordination Office, the Advanced Research and Development
program, and the National Counterintelligence Center.
The CMS is the DCI’s principal source of advice and assistance in planning and executing his intelligence community
management responsibilities. These include: developing the
National Foreign Intelligence Program budget; developing intelligence plans and requirements; and overseeing research
and development activities. The Environmental Intelligence
and Applications program evaluates the application of Intelligence Community archived information and current and future imaging capabilities to the study of the environment.
The Advanced Research and Development program is responsible for coordination of advanced technology within the Intelligence Community and for encouragement of investment in
high risk/high return technologies. The Controlled Access Program Coordination Office supports the DCI’s annual review
of Intelligence Special Access programs. The National Intelligence Council provides analytical support to the DCI and
national policy makers. The Center for Security Evaluation
is responsible for evaluating and improving security capabilities at United States embassies. The Information Systems
Secretariat will support technical activities and services of
common Community concern regarding interoperability between national intelligence systems and consumers. The National Counterintelligence Center was established as the primary mechanism to coordinate U.S. government national-level
counterintelligence policy and activities.

OTHER INDEPENDENT AGENCIES

The U.S. International Trade Commission is an independent agency created by an act of Congress. The Commission’s
current powers and duties are provided for principally by
the Tariff Act of 1930; the Trade Act of 1974; the Agricultural
Adjustment Act; section 1911 of the Financial Institutions
Regulatory and Interest Rate Control Act of 1978, 12 U.S.C.
635a–2; the Trade and Tariff Act of 1984; and the Omnibus
Trade and Competitiveness Act of 1988; the North American
Free Trade Implementation Act of 1993; and the Uruguay
Round Agreements Act of 1994.
The Commission conducts investigations and makes findings concerning whether: (1) increased imports are a substantial cause of serious injury to an industry; (2) imports of
goods that are subsidized or are being sold at less than fair
value are materially injuring, threatening with material injury, or materially retarding an industry; (3) unfair import
practices have the threat or effect of substantially injuring
an industry or restraining or monopolizing trade and commerce in the United States; and (4) imports of agricultural
products are materially interfering with certain programs of
the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
The Commission advises the President as to the probable
economic effect on domestic industry and consumers of modification of duties and other barriers to trade which may be
considered for inclusion in any proposed trade agreement with
foreign countries. Further, the Commission, at the request
of the President, the Congress, or on the Commission’s own
motion, undertakes comprehensive studies and provides reports on key issues relating to international trade and economic policy matters and upon request provides other information and advice to the Congress and President on tariff
and trade matters.
The Commission, in cooperation with the Secretary of the
Treasury and the Secretary of Commerce, establishes for statistical purposes an enumeration of articles imported into the
United States and exported from the United States, and seeks
to establish comparability of such statistics with statistical
programs for domestic production.
The Commission also issues a publication containing the
U.S. tariff schedule and related matters and considers questions concerning the arrangements of such schedules and the
classification of articles.
Pursuant to section 175 of the Trade Act of 1974, the budget estimates for the Commission are transmitted to Congress
without revision by the President.

Public Laws 99–500, 101–208, and 102–221 established the
James Madison Memorial Fellowship Foundation to operate
a fellowship program to encourage graduate study of the
framing, principles, and history of the American Constitution.
Appropriations of $10 million in fiscal years 1988 and 1989
established the foundation’s trust fund. The funds have been
invested by the Secretary of the Treasury in U.S. Treasury
securities, and the interest earned on these funds is available
for carrying out the activities of the foundation. Funds raised
from private sources and the surcharges from commemorative
coin sales are also placed in the trust fund.
The foundation is authorized to award graduate fellowships
of up to $24,000 to high school teachers of American history,
American government, and social studies. High school seniors
and recent college graduates who want to become secondary
school teachers of these subjects are also eligible.
Fellowship awards.—This activity is comprised of fellowship
awards to cover educational expenses. It also supports the
foundation’s annual Summer Institute on the U.S. Constitution, which all current fellows are required to attend. The
Institute is an intensive educational experience that will ensure that all fellows know the history of the framing, ratification, and implementation of the U.S. Constitution and the
Bill of Rights. The foundation awarded 60 fellowships in FY
1995 and plans to award 60 in both FY 1996 and FY 1997.
Program administration.—This activity covers the costs of
planning, fund-raising, and the operation of the fellowship
program.

The Japan-United States Friendship Act of 1975 established
the Japan-United States Friendship Trust Fund and created
the Japan-United States Friendship Commission to make
grants from the Fund for the promotion of scholarly, cultural,
and artistic activities between Japan and the United States.
The Commission is authorized to make expenditures from
the appropriated income of the fund and, in an amount not
to exceed 5 percent annually of the principal of the fund,
to pay the expenses of the Commission and to make grants
in support of Japanese studies in American universities, policy-oriented research, faculty and other professional exchange
programs, public affairs programs, and other cultural and
educational activities, primarily in the United States.

The John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Review Board
was established to oversee an effort of enormous scope within
a three year period. The Board is charged with locating and
securing all records which relate to the assassination of President Kennedy. These records include those of at least fifteen
Federal agencies, previous official investigations, the Presidential libraries, and many smaller governmental and private
repositories throughout the country.
The purpose of the Board is to ensure the efficient, timely
and full disclosure of these records to the American public.
This effort is seen as perhaps the last opportunity to clear
up the many lingering doubts and questions surrounding the
assassination of President Kennedy.
FY 1997 is the Board’s third and final year, and it will
issue a final report upon its termination.

The National Archives and Records Administration provides
for basic operations dealing with management of the Government’s archives and records, operation of Presidential libraries, and for the review for declassification of classified security
information.
Records centers.—This activity provides for the accessioning,
storage, reference service, and disposal of the semiactive and
non-current records of Federal agencies through a nationwide
system of 14 records centers. Significant savings result from
use of low cost records storage and the efficient and timely
disposal of non-permanent records.
Archives and related services.—This activity provides for
selecting, preserving, describing, and making available to the
general public, scholars, and Federal agencies, the permanently valuable records of the Federal Government and the
historical material in Presidential libraries, related publications and exhibit programs, and the appraisal of all Federal
records. It also provides for the publication of the Federal
Register and Code of Federal Regulations, the U.S. Statutesat-Large, Presidential documents and for a program to improve the quality of regulations and the public’s access to
them.
Through the records declassification program, historically
valuable information in the records of the Federal Government and in donated historical materials are made available
to the public by declassifying as much information as possible
without endangering the national security.
This activity also includes administrative costs for the National Historical Publications and Records Commission.
Information security oversight office.—This activity provides
oversight for the information security program established
by Executive order 12356 and reports annually to the President on the status of that program. This involves monitoring

The National Capital Planning Commission is the central
planning agency for the Federal Government in the National
Capital Region. During 1997, major emphasis will be placed
on the following activities: the maintenance of Federal elements of the Comprehensive Plan for the National Capital,
the five-year Federal Capital Improvements program, the review of Federal land acquisition and development proposals
in the region, relevant zoning analyses, and continuing Federal interest reviews of the impact of proposed local, State
and regional planning efforts on the Federal establishment.
In addition, there will be an emphasis on the development
of computer-based analytical planning tools. These tools will
be used in cooperation with other agencies early in the planning process to allow for resolution of differences before the
final review and approval stages.

Federal credit unions, (b) supervising established Federal
credit unions, (c) making periodic examinations of their financial condition and operating practices, and (d) providing administrative services. The operating fund is reimbursed for
the insurance fund’s share of the agency’s administrative expenses by the insurance fund. The reimbursement percentage,
which is reviewed and adjusted periodically, is currently at
50 percent. Data relating to activities are shown below:

The insurance fund is used to carry out a program of insurance for member accounts in Federal credit unions and Statechartered credit unions which apply and qualify for insurance,
authorized by Public Law 91–468, enacted October 19, 1970.
Budget program.—The activities consist of: (a) providing
member account insurance, (b) formulating standards and requirements for insured credit unions, and (c) providing for
liquidation or other disposition of the assets and liabilities
of solvent and insolvent insured credit unions. The fund also
reimburses the operating fund for its share of the Agency’s
administrative costs. The reimbursement percentage, which
is reviewed and adjusted periodically, is currently at fifty
percent.
The extent of the program is estimated as follows:
Item:
Number of insured credit unions ...........................................
Insured shares of member institutions as of June 30 (in
millions of dollars) .............................................................

1995 actual

1996 est.

1997 est.

11,836

11,636

11,336

265,548

275,000

285,000

It is estimated that approximately 4,500 State-chartered
credit unions will be enrolled in the program by the end
of 1997.
Financing.—For insurance year 1996 the credit union’s required annual insurance premium of one-twelfth of 1 percent
of its total member share accounts has been waived. As a
result of Public Law 98–369 (July 18, 1984), each insured
credit union is also required to deposit and maintain in the
insurance fund 1 percent of its member share accounts. The
fund is structured to be entirely self supporting through the
monies paid by member credit unions. The monies received
plus the income generated from their investment are expected
to cover all administrative and financial costs, as well as
increase the fund balance proportionate to insured share
growth. In fiscal year 1995 the income generated from the
1 percent deposit eliminated the need to assess the annual
premium. In addition, the fund paid a $106 million dividend
to federally insured credit unions in 1996 due to an excess
in the 1.3 percent reserve requirement. The fund has $100
million in borrowing authority from the Treasury for use in
unforeseen emergencies.
Operating results.—Anticipated net income of $142 million
will be retained in the fund, raising the balance for unforeseen emergencies to $3.8 billion by the end of 1997.

The National Credit Union Central Liquidity Facility was
established under Public Law 95–630. It began operations
on October 1, 1979. The Central Liquidity Facility provides
loans to member credit unions for seasonal and emergency
needs.
The two primary sources of funds for the Facility are stock
subscriptions from credit unions and borrowings from the
Federal Financing Bank. Credit unions, which choose to become members of the Facility, are required to purchase stock
equal to one-half of 1 percent of their assets. One-half of
the subscription in stock is forwarded to the Facility and
deposited in the fund. The remaining half of the subscription
remains on call in the credit union in investments as approved by the NCUA Board.

Summary of Budget Authority and Outlays

Board adjudication.—In an unfair labor practice case a
judge’s decision becomes a Board order if no exceptions are
filed. About 30 percent of these decisions become automatic
Board orders or are complied with voluntarily. The remainder
with exceptions filed require contested Board decision. In representation cases, regional directors initially decide the issues
by Board delegation. The Board itself decides representation
issues on referral from regional directors or by granting a
request for review of a regional director’s decision. The Board
also rules on objection and challenge questions in election
cases.
Securing compliance with Board orders.—If the parties do
not voluntarily comply with the Board’s order involving unfair
labor practices, the Board must request that the appellate
courts enforce its decisions.

Field investigation.—Charges of unfair labor practices and
petitions for elections to resolve representation disputes are
investigated by regional office personnel. Over 92 percent of
the unfair labor practice cases and about 85 percent of the
representation cases are closed by settlement, dismissal, or
withdrawal. The remainder are prepared for public hearing.
The agency strives to maximize the voluntary settlement of

Emergency disputes.—When the parties fail to resolve their
disputes through mediation, they are urged to submit their
differences to arbitration. If neither mediation nor voluntary
arbitration is successful, the President, when notified of disputes which threaten to seriously interrupt service, may appoint emergency boards to investigate and report on the disputes under section 160 of the Railway Labor Act (RLA).
Such reports usually serve as a basis for resolving the disputes.
The Northeast Rail Service Act of 1981 amended the Railway Labor Act by adding a new emergency dispute procedure
covering disputes between a publicly funded and operated
commuter carrier and its employees. The 1981 Act requires
the Board to appoint the public members of factfinding panels
on Conrail.

Arbitration under sections 3 and 7 of the RLA.—Railroad
employee grievances resulting from disputes over the interpretation or application of collective bargaining contracts may
be brought for settlement to the National Railroad Adjustment Board (NRAB). The divisions of the Board are composed
of an equal number of carrier and union representatives compensated by the party or parties they represent. Public Law
89–456 provides for the adjustment of disputes involving
grievances resulting from interpretation or application of bargaining agreements in the railroad industry otherwise referable to the NRAB.

The Research and Related Activities appropriation addresses Foundation goals to enable the United States to uphold
world leadership in all aspects of science and engineering,
and to promote the discovery, integration, dissemination and
employment of new knowledge in service to society. Research
activities will contribute to the achievement of these goals
through expansion of the knowledge base; integration of research and education; stimulation of knowledge transfer
among academia and the public and private sectors; and
bringing the perspectives of many disciplines to bear on complex problems important to the nation. NSF is actively developing performance indicators that tie to the key program functions of Research Project Support, Facilities, and Education
and Training.
The major research program activities of the Foundation
are:
Biological sciences.—This activity supports research in
cellular and molecular biology, neural sciences, and environmental biology.
Computer and information sciences and engineering.—Research is directed at ‘‘information processing’’ in the broadest sense of the term, ranging from fundamental theory
to systems engineering.
Engineering.—Research supported by this activity aims
to increase U.S. engineering capability and strength, and
focus that capability and strength on areas which are relevant to national problems and long-term needs. This activity also includes small business innovation research.
Geosciences.—This research advances knowledge of the
properties and dynamics of the planet Earth.
Mathematical and physical sciences.—Research in this activity is directed at increasing understanding of natural
laws and phenomena. It includes research in mathematics,
astronomy, physics, chemistry, and materials science.
Social, behavioral and economic sciences.—This activity
supports research in behavioral, social, economic, and cognitive sciences, facilitates international scientific cooperation, and funds science resources studies.
U.S. Polar Research Programs.—This activity supports
Arctic and Antarctic research and operational science support and other related activities for the United States Polar
Research Programs.
U.S. Antarctic Logistical Support Activities.—This activity
provides necessary expenses for reimbursing Federal agencies for logistical and other related activities for the United
States Antarctic Logistical Support Activities.
Critical Technologies Institute.—This activity supports a
federally-funded research and development center that provides analytical support to the Executive Branch.

Education and Human Resources (EHR) activities provide
a comprehensive set of programs across all levels of education
in science, mathematics and technology. These programs will
further NSF’s goal of achieving excellence in U.S. science,
mathematics, engineering, and technology education at all levels. These efforts also address the participation of groups
underrepresented in science and engineering. At the
precollege level, EHR provides for new instructional material
and techniques, and enrichment activities for teachers and
students. Undergraduate initiatives support curriculum improvement (including laboratory instruction), faculty enhancement, and advanced technological education. (The latter is
also supported at the pre-college level.) Graduate level support is directed primarily to research fellowships and
traineeships. Human resources activities focus on women, persons with disabilities, minorities, and minority institutions.
Emphasis is given to systemic reform through components
that address urban, rural, and state-wide efforts in precollege
education. The Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) seeks to broaden the participation
of States and regions in science and engineering. Education
research, evaluation and dissemination activities are supported across the science and mathematics education spectrum. NSF is actively developing performance indicators that
tie to the key program functions of Education and Training,
and Research Project Support.

The Office of Special Counsel (1) investigates Federal employee allegations of prohibited personnel practices (including
reprisal for whistleblowing) and when appropriate prosecutes
before the Merit Systems Protection Board; (2) provides a
channel for whistleblowing by Federal employees; and (3) enforces the Hatch Act. The Office may transmit whistleblower
allegations to the agency head concerned and require an agency investigation and a report to the Congress and the President when appropriate.
The Act to Reauthorize the Office of Special Counsel and
for Other Purposes (P.L. 103–424, October 29, 1994) expanded
the Office of Special Counsel’s responsibility. The Act extended all protections of the Office to approximately 80,000
medical employees of the Department of Veterans Affairs and
whistleblower protections to certain employees of government
corporations which employ 82,000 workers.
Many cases investigated by the Office are resolved without
recourse to formal proceedings before the Board. In Fiscal
Year 1995 the Office of Special Counsel obtained 173 corrective actions or favorable dispositions in 149 matters. Efforts
to obtain such negotiated resolutions will continue. In Fiscal
Year 1995 the Office also filed 7 enforcement actions before
the Merit Systems Protection Board.

Operations direction.—Operations direction provides for the
bureau-level direction and coordination of the operations of
the Commission. Included are the costs associated with the
director’s offices for the Marine Bureau, Engineering and Construction Bureau, and General Services Bureau.
Financial management.—The Financial management function is responsible for the development of financial, accounting, and rate making policies; the development of financial
systems and procedures; the maintenance of general books
of account and the preparation of financial statements and
reports; establishment of systems of internal control; collection, custody, and disbursement of funds and related matters;
and financial planning, budget management and manpower
control.
Personnel administration.—This function has the overall
agency responsibility for personnel administration and management. In addition this office is responsible for the joint
personnel program that provides staffing services for participating Federal agencies in the Panama Canal area on a costsharing basis.
Inspector General.—This function is responsible for conducting comprehensive audits and investigations of Commission
accounts, programs, and operations.
Other.—This category provides for the non-administrative
expenses of the Commission, which are general in nature
and not associated with any specific function. Included in
these costs are: the amortization of the expense of the special
retirement provisions of the treaty implementation legislation;
the interest expense on the investment of the U.S. Government in the Canal which is paid into the miscellaneous receipts of the U.S. Treasury; the health and education services
provided to Commission’s employees and their dependents at
Department of Defense facilities; the compensation benefits
for work injuries (FECA); the premiums for the Federal employees health benefits program (FEHBA); certain other statutory costs required by the U.S. Government; and miscellaneous expenses of a general nature.
Financing.—The operation of the Canal is conducted on
a commercial basis with revenues derived from tolls collected
from vessels and other essential supporting services. Revenues collected are deposited in an account in the U.S. Treasury. Operating and capital expenditures are then funded from
this account. The Commission may borrow from the U.S.
Treasury not more than $100 million outstanding at any time.
No cash withdrawals against these funds are planned. In
1995, the Commission had a break even operation in which
revenues were equal to expenses.
The amount set aside from toll receipts for a capital advance in 1997 is $10 million. No provision is made for working
capital in 1997.

Operating expenses ........................................................

Statement of Operations (in millions of dollars)

Note.—Authority to borrow is available to the Panama Canal Commission on a permanent indefinite basis.
This authority is limited only in that the amount of borrowing outstanding at any time cannot exceed $100
million.

The Panama Canal Act of 1979 established the Panama
Canal Commission to operate and maintain the interoceanic
waterway. The Commission is self-sufficient in its operations
and makes payments to the Republic of Panama as specified
in the Panama Canal Treaty of 1977. Pursuant to Public
Law 104–106, the Commission is a wholly-owned government
corporation and is funded by a revolving fund.

The Postal Reorganization Act of 1970, Public Law 91–
375, converted the Post Office Department into the U.S. Postal Service, an independent establishment within the executive
branch. The Postal Service commenced operations July 1,
1971. This agency is charged with providing patrons with
reliable mail service at reasonable rates and fees.
The U.S. Postal Service is governed by an 11-member Board
of Governors, including 9 Governors appointed by the President, a Postmaster General who is selected by the Governors,
and a Deputy Postmaster General who is selected by the
Governors and the Postmaster General.
Decisions on changes in domestic rates of postage and fees
for postal services are recommended to the Governors of the
Postal Service by the independent Postal Rate Commission
after a hearing on the record under the Administrative Procedure Act. The Commission also recommends decisions on
changes in the domestic mail classification schedule to the
Governors. Decisions of the Governors on rates of postage,
fees for postal services, and mail classification are final, subject to judicial review.
Effective in 1986, the Postal Service Fund (Fund) was included in the congressional and executive budget process and
taken into account in making calculations under the Balanced
Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 (Gramm-

1042

POSTAL SERVICE—Continued
Federal Funds—Continued

Public enterprise funds—Continued
POSTAL SERVICE FUND—Continued

Rudman-Hollings). The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act
of 1989 amended title 39 of the U.S. Code by adding a new
section, 2009a, which provides that, beginning in 1990, the
receipts and disbursements of the Fund shall not be considered as part of the congressional and executive budget process
and shall not be taken into account in making calculations
under Gramm-Rudman-Hollings.
Programs.—Included are all postal activities providing window services; processing, delivery, and transportation of mail;
research and development; administration of postal field activities; and associated expenses of providing facilities and
financing.
The rapid development of electronic messaging systems
promises to increase the effectiveness of the Nation’s communications infrastructure and U.S. competitiveness in the future. As the provider of a universally available hard copy
delivery system, the United States Postal Service is encouraged to examine these emerging communications technologies
and to cooperate with the private sector on issues of integration, directory service, and strategic alliances that will facilitate the development of secure and reliable electronic messaging networks.
The transition from hard copy to electronic messaging already has begun. The Postal Service should assist in developing future messaging systems. The Postal Service’s participation should recognize the changing needs of its business, governmental, and individual customers; should focus on determining an appropriate means for public and private sector
cooperation; and should be consistent with the agency’s vision
of evolving into a premier provider of 21st century postal
communications. The Postal Service should seek to leverage
its comprehensive delivery, messaging security, and addressing directory management capabilities in a manner that promotes universal access to the benefits of these new technologies for all citizens who desire them.
Financing.—The activities of the U.S. Postal Service are
financed from the following sources: (1) mail and services
revenue; (2) reimbursements from Federal and non-Federal
sources; (3) proceeds from borrowing; (4) interest from U.S.
securities and other investments; and (5) appropriations by
the Congress. All receipts and deposits are made to the Postal
Service Fund and are available without fiscal year limitation
for payment of all expenses incurred, retirement of obligations, investment in capital assets, and investment in obligations and securities.
Separate legislation also increased the Postal Service’s statutory borrowing authority beginning in 1991. Section 2005
of title 39, United States Code, as amended, increased the
Postal Service’s borrowing authority by $2.5 billion in 1991
for a revised ceiling of $12.5 billion and an additional $2.5
billion in 1992 for a revised total ceiling of $15 billion. The
total net increase in amounts outstanding in any one fiscal
year were also increased and now may not exceed $2.0 billion
in obligations issued for the purpose of capital improvements
and $1.0 billion for the purpose of paying operating expenses.
As of September 30, 1997, it is expected that the total debt
instruments issued and outstanding pursuant to this authority will amount to $8.987 billion.
Operating.—Estimated revenue will total $58.869 billion in
1997. This includes $58.667 billion from mail and services
revenue, $106 million from investment income, and $96 million accrued for revenue forgone appropriations in 1997. Total
expenses are estimated at $59.521 billion in 1997.
The Postal Reorganization Act of 1970 established the Postal Service as a fully self-sufficient, independent entity. Postal
revenues were to cover the full costs of postal operations.
When the Act was passed, the Postal Service received sub-

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 1997

stantial taxpayer subsidies, both appropriated and unappropriated. Consistent with the intent of the 1970 Act, Congress
has taken steps over time to reduce these subsidies. Under
the 1974 Civil Service Retirement Fund—Postal Employee
Benefits Act, the Postal Service assumed responsibility for
paying unfunded retirement costs from wage schedule increases under postal labor contracts. These costs are not covered by normal employee/employer contributions to the retirement fund. The 1985 Reconciliation Act shifted responsibility
for paying health benefit costs of Postal annuitants retiring
after 1986 from OPM to the Postal Service. The 1987 Reconciliation Act had the Postal Service make one-time payments to defray annuitant health benefit costs in 1988 and
1989 and retirement COLA costs in 1988. (Retirement
COLAs, like wage schedule increases, result in retirement
liabilities not covered by normal retirement fund contributions.) Under the 1989 Reconciliation Act, the Postal Service
assumed responsibility for paying health benefits of survivors
of post-86 annuitants and unfunded retirement COLA liabilities for post-86 annuitants.
The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990 superseded
certain existing legislation and expanded the Postal Service’s
responsibility for benefit costs of postal annuitants. Effective
October 1, 1990, the Postal Service is required to fund Civil
Service Retirement System (CSRS) COLAs and the employer’s
share of Federal Employee Health Benefit Program (FEHBP)
premiums for postal annuitants who retired after June 30,
1971, and their survivors. In addition, the Postal Service is
required to fund the retroactive CSRS COLA and FEHBP
premium costs for which the Postal Service would have been
liable if the provisions of this new legislation had been in
effect as of July 1, 1971.
Under the Omnibus Reconciliation Act of 1993, the Postal
Service is required to make certain payments for past COLAs
and health benefits, over and above any other payments required by law, of $693 million to the Civil Service Retirement
and Disability Fund, and $348 million to the Employees
Health Benefits Fund. These two payments are to be made
in three equal annual installments, beginning in fiscal year
1996.

In addition to rail social security, rail industry pensions
and special windfalls, the Railroad Retirement Board pays
supplemental annuities to rail workers retiring at age 60
with 30 years of creditable rail service or at age 65 with
25–29 years of creditable service. Monthly benefit amounts
are calculated from a base of $23, adding $4 for every year
of service over 25, up to a maximum monthly benefit of $43.
Employers finance benefits on a pay-as-you-go basis by a
cents-per-hour tax, currently established at 34 cents per hour.

supplemental annuities. Social security benefits for former
railroad employees are funded by the social security trust
funds, and rail industry pension payments are the responsibility of the rail sector.

The Resolution Trust Corporation (RTC) Office of Inspector
General (OIG) was established in April 1990 in accordance
with the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989 (FIRREA). As a result of FIRREA and
the RTC Completion Act of 1993, the RTC sunset was completed on December 31, 1995. All assets and liabilities of
RTC were transferred to the FSLIC Resolution Fund, under
the management of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). The remaining obligations and appropriated
funds for the RTC OIG have also been transferred to the
FDIC’s FSLIC Resolution Fund and will be included in all
schedules under that fund until expended or expired. The
RTC Office of Inspector General merged with the FDIC Office
of Inspector General, and its audits, investigations, and other
reviews will continue to be performed.

The Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act (FIRREA) of 1989 established the Resolution Trust
Corporation (RTC) to dispose of insolvent thrift institutions
until August 1992. RTC’s authority to resolve thrifts was
extended through September 1993 by the Resolution Trust
Corporation Refinancing, Restructuring and Improvement Act
of 1991 and was further extended through June 1995 by
the Resolution Trust Corporation Completion Act of 1993.
The Savings Association Insurance Fund (SAIF) took over
responsibility for resolving failed thrifts on July 1, 1995.
FIRREA required that the RTC terminate no later than
December 31, 1996, and that all RTC assets and liabilities
be transferred to the FSLIC Resolution Fund upon RTC’s
termination. The RTC Completion Act advanced the date of
RTC termination to December 31, 1995. Beginning on January 1, 1996, activities related to the former RTC are included
in the budget schedules of the FSLIC Resolution Fund.
The RTC’s sources of funds included income and sale proceeds from assets acquired during the course of resolving
thrifts, $31.2 billion from the sale of capital certificates to
the Resolution Funding Corporation (REFCORP, a privately
capitalized financing entity also established by FIRREA), and
$73.8 billion in appropriated funds. Of the $31.2 billion, $1.2
billion was contributed by the Federal Home Loan Banks
through REFCORP to the RTC in 1989. The remaining $30
billion was raised through REFCORP issuance of long-term
debt obligations. The $73.8 billion in appropriated funds includes $18.3 billion made available by the RTC Completion
Act of 1993.
Of the $18.3 billion appropriated to RTC in 1993, amounts
not needed by RTC remain available for two years after RTC
termination for possible transfer by the Secretary of the
Treasury to SAIF, if needed to cover SAIF losses and upon
certain certifications by the Chairman of the FDIC. The Thrift
Depositor Protection Oversight Board determined that only
$4.6 billion of the $18.3 billion will be required. The excess
$13.7 billion was not transferred to the FSLIC Resolution
Fund upon RTC termination, but remains available for transfer to SAIF until December 31, 1997.
The Thrift Depositor Protection Oversight Board (Oversight
Board) was established to provide RTC with general policy
direction and to review RTC’s performance. The Oversight
Board is also responsible for regulating REFCORP. Prior to

1049

RTC sunset, the Oversight Board consisted of the Secretary
of the Treasury, the Chairman of the Board of Governors
of the Federal Reserve System, the Director of the Office
of Thrift Supervision, the Chairman of the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation, the chief executive officer of RTC, and
two independent members appointed by the President and
approved by the Senate. The Oversight Board was reorganized on December 31, 1995, and currently consists of the
Secretary of the Treasury, the Chairman of the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System, and the Secretary
of the Department of Housing and Urban Development. By
law, the Oversight Board is funded by the RTC.
Section 501(c) of FIRREA authorizes the RTC to operate
an affordable housing program. Under this program, single
and multifamily properties in RTC’s inventory that are appraised below a certain threshold are held off the general
market for a three to six month special marketing period.
During that period, only low-income families and individuals,
and public agencies and nonprofit organizations that agree
to low-income rent restrictions are allowed to bid on the properties. The affordable housing expense line shown in the
budget includes only the administrative costs of the program.
Foregone receipts from selling the properties with the affordable housing restrictions are not included. In FY95, the RTC
closed sales or accepted offers for 1,295 single family properties totaling $33 million in sales proceeds and 140 multifamily properties totaling $83 million in sales proceeds. By
the end of FY96, RTC expects to have sold an additional
289 single family and 26 multifamily properties through the
affordable housing program.
In accordance with the RTC Completion Act, management
of the FDIC and RTC affordable housing programs was fully
integrated on October 1, 1995. While both programs are carried out by the FDIC Affordable Housing Program Office,
separate accounting will be maintained for FDIC and RTC
assets. The RTC Affordable Housing Program assets were
formally transferred to the FSLIC Resolution Fund on December 31, 1995, when all RTC assets and liabilities were transferred.

The primary mission of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission) is to protect the interests of the
investing public.
Full disclosure.—This program ensures that investors will
be provided with material facts in the public offering, trading,
voting and tendering of securities. Issuers that have conducted public offerings, have securities traded in the public
markets, or have total assets and security holder populations
of specified sizes, are required to furnish management, financial, and business information to the Commission on a continuing basis in proxy materials and in annual and other
periodic reports. The staff reviews these documents on a selected basis for compliance with the disclosure requirements.
In addition, all registration statements of issuers that are
making their initial public offerings of securities and all third
party tender offer filings are reviewed by the staff. As a
result of the review process, the staff may issue comments
to issuers to elicit better compliance or, where appropriate,
refer matters for enforcement action.
Electronic filing project (EDGAR).—In 1984, the SEC began
a pilot project that successfully tested the feasibility of receiving, analyzing and disseminating full disclosure filings electronically. The pilot received approximately 114,000 filings
electronically through July 1992, when it was closed.
In early 1989, the SEC selected a contractor to develop
the operational system. This system provides the Commission
with the capability for electronic receipt, analysis, and dissemination of almost all of the full disclosure filings. The
operational system opened in January 1992 for test filings
and the phase-in of the first group of mandated filers began
in April 1993. As of November 10, 1995, nine of the ten
groups of filers have been added to the system. The last
group consisting mainly of new companies, will join EDGAR
in May 1996. As of February 9, 1996, operational EDGAR
has received and disseminated 249,168 live filings. The operational contract cost is $10.0 million in fiscal 1996 of which
$8 million supports the Full Disclosure program and $2 million supports the Investment Management Regulation program. The recompetition for the new contract is in process
and its costs are not yet known.

Prevention and Suppression of Fraud.—This program evaluates information indicating possible violations of the federal
securities laws. Possible violations include, among other
things, the illegal distribution of unregistered securities, fraud
in the offer, purchase and sale of securities, insider trading,
market manipulation, and illegal conduct by broker-dealers,
investment advisers and other regulated entities. Investigations of possible violations are conducted and, if appropriate,
enforcement actions are initiated. Actions include civil proceedings seeking injunctive and other relief and administrative proceedings. The Commission is now authorized to seek
court orders imposing civil monetary penalties for any securities law violation as well as to seek such penalties against
regulated entities in administrative proceedings. Under appropriate circumstances matters are referred for criminal prosecution.

Supervision and regulation of securities markets.—Trading
in the securities markets is regulated to prevent fraud and
manipulation, and to ensure the maintenance of fair, orderly,
efficient, and competitive markets. The Commission oversees
the work of self-regulatory organizations, monitors securities
markets and broker-dealer operations, and develops regulatory strategies for coping with market stress, promoting
compliance, and meeting changing domestic and international
conditions.

Investment management regulation.—This program administers the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. The staff reviews disclosure documents filed by investment companies and investment advisers
and regulates and inspects investment companies and investment advisers to protect investors against fraud, self-dealing,
inadequate disclosure, and other abuse. The staff refers serious violations for enforcement action. In 1996, investment
adviser inspections will focus on money managers that have
total control of their clients’ funds. This program also is responsible for administering the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935.

Program direction.—This program assists the Commission
in fulfilling its statutory requirements and in responding to
changes in the securities industry by carefully evaluating priorities, formulating and implementing policies, and managing
agency resources. The staff provides management direction
and analysis, internal control, financial management, personnel management, data processing, public affairs, records management, information dissemination, general administrative
services, and processing of equal employment opportunity
complaints.
Authorizing legislation will be proposed to provide the Commission with a sound and stable long term funding structure.
Such legislation would stipulate three tiers of fee income.
Tier 1 would be composed of permanent increases in existing
base receipts collected under the securities laws generating
PAYGO savings of approximately $47 million in 1997. Tier
2 would establish a set of new permanent fees in the securities laws and stipulate that such fees be deposited in a special
fund of the U.S. Treasury and that the SEC would have
authority to spend such sums as may be deposited in this
fund. The legislation would specify Tier 2 fee rates in
amounts that would be estimated to collect a substantial majority, but not all, of the SEC’s total budget. Tier 3 would
provide the appropriators with the authority to increase certain specified fees and deposit such increments as offsetting
collections to the SEC’s appropriation. The establishment of
the Tier 3 fees would be contingent on appropriation action.
Such legislation would give the appropriators the ability
to determine the gross level of funds that are necessary for
the SEC, while at the same time averting the type of funding
crisis that existed at the start of 1995. This proposal would
result in a reduction to the existing section 6(b) registration
fee rate of one-twenty-ninth of one percent thereby lowering
the cost of raising capital in the United States. This proposal
would also better match the services provided by the SEC
with the fees that are collected under the securities laws.
The Administration intends to work with Congress to secure
early enactment of such a legislative proposal, possibly including such a package in a reconciliation bill.

The Selective Service System continues to register men as
they reach age 18, as required by law, and maintain a data
base of registrant records. The System works to maintain
a high degree of readiness to respond rapidly and efficiently
to any crisis that requires a return to conscription.
Operational readiness remains one of the System’s major
objectives. Activities in support of this objective include all
facets of National and Regional operational planning, maintenance of automated registration information, a comprehensive
training program for the System’s Reserve Forces, and a
training program for the standby board members. Some of
these activities have been scaled back consistent with recent
budget reductions. However, the processing procedures of the
Registrant Information Management System will continue to
be tested and refined to ensure that they can fully satisfy
the revised emergency manpower requirements of the Armed
Forces.
In 1997, registration awareness activities will continue to
concentrate on targeted urban areas and audiences where
registration shortfalls are the greatest.

The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) was created in 1933
as a Government-owned corporation for the unified development of a river basin comprised of parts of seven States.
Its program in 1997 will be financed from three sources: (1)
appropriations by the Congress; (2) proceeds available from
current power operations and borrowings against future
power revenues; and (3) proceeds available from nonpower
activities.

TVA’s program paid for by appropriations.—TVA’s legislated mandate is to provide for ‘‘the unity of land and water
and men’’ through the integrated, sustainable development
of the Tennessee River basin. As a federal corporation, TVA
serves national interests by operating infrastructure services
for the production of electricity, economic development and
the stewardship of natural resources in 125 counties in seven
states.
Federal appropriations do not support TVA’s power business and are prohibited by law from application to the power
program which operates as an accountable business with the
rate payer income from 7.6 million customers.
Appropriations provide for essential public services to maintain and operate public resources—navigable channels, flood
control, recreation, technology development and non-regulatory, community-based programs that protect the water
quality of the Tennessee River system. This dynamic infrastructure supports appropriated investments in small to medium-sized business start-up and retention in the largely
rural communities of the Tennessee Valley.
Water and Land Management.—Funds TVA’s statutory obligation to operate 54 dams and reservoirs to regulate streamflow for the multi-purpose objectives of navigation, flood control, recreation and aquatic habitat conservation; perform cyclic maintenance and repair of 14 navigation locks, maintain
dam machinery and spillway gates; perform channel, lock and
mooring modifications to maintain safety and passability for
increasingly larger cargo vessels; conserve and improve water
quality and supply in 12 watersheds and dam tailwaters for
fisheries and potable supply for 4 million people; control mosquitoes and plant pests; prevent shoreline erosion and manage residential development in riparian zones; plan for and

manage 630,000 hectares (1.7 million acres) of land; provide
services and education to watershed communities; operate
public recreation areas at 36 dam reservations, 160 camping
and day-use areas, 90 stream access sites; meet federal regulatory law requirements; partially fund Land Between The
Lakes as the hub of a tourism and recreation industry that
annually generates $400 million in economic activity in nine
contiguous counties.
Economic Development.—Partially funds initiatives to increase the production of goods and services and generate highvalue, sustainable jobs in the seven states of the Tennessee
Valley. This program is scheduled to phase out in 1999, with
activities now funded here continuing, as appropriate, with
funding from public/private partnerships.
Environmental Research Center.—Partially funds the development and introduction of technologies that provide new and
economical ways for industry to prevent and correct environmental problems that are the predominant barriers to business growth. TVA continues in its efforts to transition funding
requirements from appropriations to leveraging contracts and
support from outside sources and private partners. Federal
funding at ERC will be phased out over four years (1996–
1999).
Chickamauga Lock and Dam.—Funds (1) the repair of concrete growth impacting water barrier integrity and (2) replacement of the navigation lock which has irreparably deteriorated and is inadequate for existing and projected river
traffic.
TVA’s Power Program.—TVA is the sole supplier of electric
power to an area of 80,000 square miles in the seven Tennessee Valley States. Income from power operations, net of
interest charges and depreciation, and other operating expenses is estimated at $63,000,000 in 1997. Power generating
facilities are financed from power proceeds and borrowings.

Operating results and financial conditions.—Only the power
program and fertilizer introduction are intended to be selfsupporting; the net expense of nonpower programs is covered
largely by appropriation funding. Payments to the Treasury
from power proceeds in 1997 are estimated at $61,000,000—
$41,000,000 as a dividend (return on the appropriation investment in the power program) and $20,000,000 as a reduction
in the appropriation investment in the power program. Outstanding borrowings for the power program are expected to
increase by $6,000,000 during 1997.
Total assets are estimated to increase by $314,000,000 during 1997. The estimate of liabilities at September 30, 1997,
is $778,000,000 less than the estimate at September 30, 1996.
Total Government equity at September 30, 1997, is estimated
to be $34,000,000 greater than that at September 1996. This
change includes the requested appropriation for 1997 and
the net income from power operations, less payments to the
Treasury and the net expense of nonpower programs.

The Fund was established by the Coal Industry Retiree
Health Benefit Act of 1992 to take over paying for medical
care of retired miners and their dependents who were eligible
for health care from the private 1950 and 1974 United Mine
Workers of America Benefit Plans. The Fund’s trustees represent the United Mine Workers of America and coal companies. The Fund is financed by assessments on current and
former signatories to labor agreements with the United Mine
Workers; transfers from an overfunded United Mine Workers
pension fund; and, commencing in 1996, transfers from the
Abandoned Mine Land Reclamation Fund.

The Plan was established by the Coal Industry Retiree
Health Benefit Act of 1992. It pays for health care of miners
retired between July 21, 1992 and September 30, 1994, and
their dependents, who are eligible for benefits under an employer plan and cease to be covered, usually because an employer is out of business. Plan trustees are appointed by the
United Mine Workers of America and the Bituminous Coal
Operators Association, a coal industry bargaining group. The
Plan is supported by signatories to the 1988 labor agreement
with the United Mine Workers of America.

The United States Enrichment Corporation (USEC or the
Corporation) was created by the Energy Policy Act of 1992
and began operations on July 1, 1993, when the Department
of Energy’s (DOE) uranium enrichment activities were transferred to USEC. Uranium enriched by USEC or purchased
for resale is sold globally to utilities for use as fuel for nuclear
power plants. USEC was created as a wholly owned government corporation as the first step in a series of actions designed to culminate in privatization, which is proposed to
occur during FY 1996. These steps included restructuring
DOE’s uranium enrichment services business, establishing a
track record of successful operations, and finally, selling the
business to the private sector. Uranium enrichment is the
only segment in the nuclear fuel cycle operated by the U.S.
Government. The Government enrichment facilities were
originally built over forty years ago to support military programs, but they are no longer needed for this purpose. By
moving the uranium enrichment business out of the Government, and by applying private sector discipline, USEC will
remain a viable competitor in the global market for uranium
enrichment services and preserve a source of domestic enrichment capacity. As a private corporation, USEC will be able
to make the financial investment necessary to implement the
Advanced Vapor Laser Isotope Separation (AVLIS), the next
generation of uranium enrichment technology. USEC’s ability
to commercialize AVLIS, which is expected to lower production costs, should enhance the long-term viability of the Corporation.
Budget Program.—During FY 1995, USEC maintained its
position as the world leader in uranium enrichment by pursuing value-added sales and aggressively controlling costs.
USEC also continued with AVLIS technology pre-deployment
activities. In addition, USEC, acting as executive agent to
the Government, received from the former Soviet Union the
first shipments of LEU blended from HEU. On June 30, 1995,
the Corporation presented a plan for privatization to the
President and Congress, which outlined a dual-path approach
to privatization either through a Merger and Acquisition
transaction or an Initial Public Offering.

In FY 1996, the Administration plans to sell USEC to the
private sector with expected net proceeds to the Treasury
from the sale (less transaction costs) of approximately $1.6
billion.
Financing.—$34 million in unobligated balances was transferred to the Corporation by DOE during FY 1995 in partial
payment in accordance with a determination order issued by
the Office of Management and Budget. An additional $60
million is expected to be transferred to the Corporation by
DOE in FY 1996 as final payment for this determination
order, comprised of $40 million in unobligated balances and
$20 million in inventories.
Operating Results.—The Corporation’s net income for FY
1995 was $373 million. Annual sales are expected to increase
in FY 1996 and AVLIS pre-deployment activities will be continued. USEC paid a $55 million dividend to the Treasury
in FY 1995 and a $120 million dividend in FY 1996 in accordance with the Energy Policy Act of 1992 and expects net
proceeds to the Treasury from privatization to be approximately $1.6 billion in FY 1996.

Note.—A transfer of $7 million from the Educational and Cultural Exchanges account to the Salaries and
Expenses account is being considered to fund one-time severance payments and other termination costs. Such
costs arise from staff and program reductions required to conform to the likely FY 1996 Salaries and Expenses
funding level.

The United States Information Agency conducts the international informational, educational, cultural and exchange
programs of the United States and advises the President,
the National Security Council, and the Secretary of State
on these matters. The Agency defines, explains, and advocates
U.S. policies abroad and seeks to increase knowledge and
understanding among foreign audiences of U.S. society and
its values.
In 1997, USIA will continue the strategic reorganization
and redirection of the Agency which began with the creation
of the Bureau of Information, an NPR Reinvention Laboratory, in 1995. USIA is also continuing to streamline and consolidate its administrative and management processes by initiating reengineering pilot projects and benchmarking those
efforts. USIA has initiated a comprehensive planning process
to provide a long-range strategic framework for resource allocation decisions, in accordance with the Government Performance and Results Act of 1993 (GPRA). This process will result
in performance measures that will be used to assess the effectiveness of resources invested in Agency programs for the
FY 1998 budget estimates. A strategic plan has been drafted,
and preliminary goals, objectives, measurements and strategies have been identified for all key programs.
Agency operations are largely financed from this appropriation and consist of the following major elements:
Overseas missions.—The Agency currently operates over 200
U.S. Information Service posts in over 140 countries. These
USIS posts administer exchange-of-persons programs and conduct informational and cultural activities using, primarily,
materials and programs provided by support offices in Washington, D.C.
Educational and cultural affairs.—This activity covers the
staff that administers educational and cultural exchanges between the United States and over 140 countries. It also provides program and support costs for the J. William Fulbright
Foreign Scholarship Board, American-sponsored schools
abroad, binational centers, English teaching, and other educational and cultural activities. Grant costs for Academic and
Visitor Exchanges, the Humphrey Fellowship, Citizen Exchanges, Congress-Bundestag and new exchange programs for
the New Independent States and Eastern Europe are funded
separately in the Educational and Cultural Exchanges account.
Bureau of Information.—This technologically advanced Bureau supports U.S. foreign policy objectives by providing instant and in-depth communications with the influence structures of other countries through the electronic information
capabilities of the Agency’s Wireless File, library and U.S.
Information Service (USIS) centers abroad and foreign press
centers in the U.S., the programming of U.S. speakers and
specialists through overseas travel, and electronic dialogues
or interactive television communications.
Agency direction and management.—This activity encompasses managerial staffs, research and centralized servicing
functions for the Agency as a whole.
Administrative support from other agencies.—This activity
covers payments to the Department of State for USIA’s share
of the costs of services provided for our overseas operations,
to the General Services Administration for space and services
provided under the Federal building rent system, and payments to other agencies for services provided.

This appropriation provides funding for non-broadcasting
information technology improvements for USIA, including
purchases and development of hardware, software, contractual services, and training. Funding for information management activities was formerly included in the Salaries and
Expenses account. The new account was created to allow
USIA greater flexibility in the budgeting and planning for
information technology resources.
In 1996 and 1997, USIA will continue the implementation
of a modern core Financial Management System (FMS) and
other integrated automated applications. The Agency is adopting the FMS developed by USAID. USIA will also continue
the development and testing of a two-way, high-speed digital
network for enhanced communication with overseas posts.
