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 area development. The States, acting through the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC), 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 (ADHS), 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. Studies have found that the ADHS has been important
to economic development in the Region. The budget for 1998
provides $90 million for highway construction.
In addition to the ARC funding, the 1998 Budget provides
$200 million in 1998 from the Highway trust fund for the
ADHS. The Administration’s proposal for the reauthorization
of ISTEA will include funding for the construction of the
ADHS for 1998 and beyond. These funds will be under the
programmatic and administrative jurisdiction of the ARC.
The cumulative status of the system of roads, including
mileage prefinanced by the States, follows:

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.
The Commission is also allocating 30% of area development
funding to distressed counties in 1997. Investments made by
ARC in Appalachia, coupled with the Administration’s national economic policies have reduced the number of distressed Appalachian counties over the last three years from
115 to 94, a nearly 20% reduction.
The area development program funds projects which advance the goals and objectives of ARC’s strategic plan. This
strategic plan commits ARC to achieving five broad goals
which are undergirded by 21 objectives. These five goals are:
(1) Appalachian residents will have the skills and knowledge
necessary to compete in the world economy in the 21st century; (2) Appalachian communities will have the physical infrastructure necessary for self-sustaining economic development and improved quality of life; (3) the people of Appalachia
will have the vision and capacity to mobilize and work together for sustained economic progress and improvement of
their communities; (4) Appalachian residents will have access
to financial and technical resources to help build dynamic
and self-sustaining local economies; and, (5) Appalachian residents will have access to affordable, quality health care. The
Commission has taken aggressive steps to ensure that the
area development program will make progress on accomplishing these goals, to better target resources to those communities with the greatest needs, and to increase flexibility in
project submission.
Each Governor will submit for Commission approval an
annual strategy statement detailing the areas of emphasis
within the Region for ARC funds. Projects submitted by the
Governors will include a description of goals and objectives,
and projected inputs, outputs, efficiency and outcomes. After
project completion, projected outputs and outcomes will be
compared to actual results.
The Commission’s regional initiatives are a key component
to accomplishing the strategic plan. These regional initiatives
are: (1) internationalization of the economy; (2) telecommunications; (3) leadership and civic development; and, (4) creating
entrepreneurial economies. The first three initiatives,
launched prior to the adoption of the strategic plan, will conclude their three-year cycle at the end of FY 1997 and their
relationship to the five goals will be reevaluated. The fourth
initiative, ‘‘creating entrepreneurial economies,’’ is the centerpiece policy of the Federal Co-Chairman and will likely receive an allocation from the overall area development funding
of up to $5 million in FY 1998.
The budget for 1998 provides $66 million for area development.

3. Local development districts and technical assistance programs.—The multi-county local development districts (LDDs)
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 1998 Budget provides $4 million for the LDDs
and $1 million for technical assistance, with the approximate
approved workload as follows:

4. Salaries and expenses.—The Federal Co-Chairman represents the Federal Government on the Commission and leads
in the coordination of the Appalachian program with Federal
agencies. Since 1989, the Office of the Federal Co-Chairman
includes an Inspector General.
The Federal Government contributes 50 percent of the expenses of a professional staff which works with the States
and the Federal staff in operating the program. The staff
members are not Federal employees but are employees of
the jointly-supported Commission. The budget for 1998 provides $4 million for salaries and expenses.

The Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance
Board (Access Board) was established by section 502 of the
Rehabilitation Act of 1973 to ensure compliance with the Architectural Barriers Act of 1968. Since that time, the Access
Board has been the only independent Federal agency whose
primary mission is accessibility for people with disabilities.
The Access Board has responsibility under three major pieces
of legislation: The Architectural Barriers Act of 1968 (ABA);
The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA); and The
Telecommunications Act of 1996.
The Access Board’s first major responsibility was to enforce
the ABA, ensuring accessibility in facilities built, altered, or
leased using certain Federal funds. In fiscal year 1998, the
Board will continue to process, investigate, and resolve complaints of noncompliance. The Access Board has a proven
record of voluntary, amicable resolution of access issues.
Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the Access
Board gained responsibility for two major public roles: to develop minimum accessibility guidelines for places of public
accommodation, commercial facilities, State and local government facilities, and transportation vehicles and facilities, all
of which are covered under the ADA; and to offer training
and technical assistance to individuals and organizations
throughout the country on removing architectural, transportation and communication barriers.
In pursuing these responsibilities under the ADA, the
Board uses citizens’ advisory committees, negotiated rulemaking, and other communication channels to encourage the
public’s full participation in the Federal rulemaking process
for developing its ADA Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG). In
addition, the Board is working with the building industry
toward the development of a single set of minimum accessibility guidelines, using ADAAG as the basis.
Under the Telecommunications Act, the Access Board is
charged with developing accessibility guidelines for telecommunications equipment and customer premises equipment, in conjunction with the Federal Communications Commission. The Telecommunications Act requires that such
equipment be ‘‘designed, developed, and fabricated to be accessible to and usable by individuals with disabilities, if readily
achievable.’’

Public Law 102–281 established the Christopher Columbus
Fellowship Foundation ‘‘to encourage and support research,
study, and labor designed to produce new discoveries in all
fields of endeavor for the benefit of mankind.’’ Surcharges
from Christopher Columbus Quincentenary coins were placed
in the Foundation’s trust fund. Interest from the trust fund
will be used to operate the Foundation’s program.
The Foundation plans to award three grants totaling

EXPENSES—Continued

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 1998,
approximately 32,000 people who are blind or have other severe disabilities are projected to be employed in over 660
producing nonprofit agencies. The Committee’s duties include
promoting the program; determining which products 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
products and services; determining the fair market price for
products and services on the procurement list; and making
rules and regulations necessary to carry out the purposes
of the Act. In 1998 the Committee expects to have nearly
5,000 items on its Procurement List and sales of $760 million.
The Committee staff’s responsibilities include promoting
and assessing the overall program; supervising the selection
and assignment of new products 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 1997 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 1998, an appropriation of $250 million was enacted in 1996.
For 2000, the Administration is requesting $325 million
for general programming and system support. In addition,
the Corporation should be reauthorized this year, its most
recent authorization having expired at the end of fiscal year
1996. The Corporation celebrates its 30th anniversary of service to the American people. 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 1997–2000 funding levels.

The Veterans Judicial Review Act, 38 U.S.C. §§ 7251–7292
(1988) established the United States Court of Veterans Appeals 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.

This fund, established under 38 U.S.C. § 7298 will be used
to pay judges’ retired pay and annuities, refunds, and allowances to surviving spouses and dependent children. Participating judges pay one percent of their salaries to cover creditable service for retirement annuity purposes for which payment is required and 3.5 percent of their salaries for survivor
annuity purposes for which payment is required. Additional
funds as are needed to cover the unfunded liability may be
transferred from the annual appropriation of the U.S. Court
of Veterans Appeals.

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 (DOE) (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 makes specific recommendations to the Secretary of Energy on measures that should be adopted to ensure that both 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 1998.

The Administration will propose legislation for Federal assumption of District governmental functions in which there
is a clear Federal interest, capability and/or responsibility
including certain pension plans and parts of the criminal
justice system. Under the legislation, resources will be invested also to improve the District’s capital infrastructure
and strengthen its economic base. The proposal will draw
on Federal government technical expertise to help make the
District government effective in such areas as individual income tax collection.
For FY 1998, estimated Federal discretionary costs under
the legislation will be $770 million. In exchange, the proposal

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC)
is the Federal agency responsible for enforcement of the Age
Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967; title VII of the
Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended; the Equal Pay Act
of 1963; in the Federal sector only, section 501 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1963; the Americans with Disabilities Act

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, and the bank
is authorized to borrow up to $6 billion from the Treasury.
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

FARM CREDIT ADMINISTRATION

OTHER INDEPENDENT AGENCIES

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 income was $1,241 million in
1996. Total Government equity in the corporation was $1,973
million on September 30, 1996.

The Farm Credit Administration (FCA) is an independent
Federal agency that examines and regulates the Farm Credit
System (System) for safety and soundness. The System is
a cooperative agricultural credit system of farm credit banks
and associations that lends to farmers, ranchers, and their
cooperatives. Beginning in 1990, the FCA also performs annual examinations of the Federal Agricultural Mortgage Corporation. In addition, FCA annually examines The National
Consumer Cooperative Bank and its affiliate, The NCCB Development Corporation.
As of October 1, 1996, the System is comprised of six Farm
Credit Banks, one Agricultural Credit Bank, one bank for
cooperatives, 227 associations, five service corporations, and
three institutions, including the Federal Agricultural Mortgage Corporation. The Agricultural Credit Bank and bank
for cooperatives lend to eligible cooperative borrowers nationwide.
Assessments based upon estimated administrative expenses
are collected from institutions in the System and the Federal
Agricultural Mortgage Corporation and are available for administrative expenses. Obligations are incurred within fiscal
year budgets approved by the Farm Credit Administration
Board.

The Farm Credit System Financial Assistance Corporation
(FAC) was created by the Agricultural Credit Act of 1987
to provide funds to System institutions experiencing financial
difficulties. Authority for FAC to issue obligations and provide
assistance expired in 1992, after $1.26 billion in FAC debt
had been issued. Proceeds of FAC debt issuances were paid
into, and amounts for assistance and other expenses were
paid from, the FAC Assistance Fund. 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 System, was rebated from the FAC
Trust Fund pursuant to the 1989 Reconciliation and Agriculture Appropriations Acts.
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 87
percent of the fiscal year 1996 expense, 91 percent of the
fiscal year 1997 expense, and 93 percent of the fiscal year
1998 expense. The System is required to eventually reimburse
Treasury for these payments, and will redeem FAC debt upon
maturity or call.
The FAC Trust Fund holds and rebates the private capital
contributed by the 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 System debt obligations purchased by
investors. The Corporation is managed by a three member
Board of Directors that consists of the same members as
the Farm Credit Administration Board of Directors. The Corporation collects insurance premiums from insured System
banks based on the level of accruing and non-accruing loans
outstanding in each bank and its affiliated associations’ loan
portfolio. The Corporation derives its revenues from these
yearly premiums and from the investment income earned on
its investment portfolio. Congress established a secure base
amount of 2 percent of outstanding System obligations, or
such other amounts determined by its Board of Directors 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 FAC 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, enacted in early 1996,
removed the legislative requirement for a full-time separate
Board for the Insurance Corporation. The Act also: (1)
changed the Corporation’s authority to provide financial assistance, including new cost test requirements; (2) granted
flexibility to reduce insurance premiums before reaching the
secure base amount; and, (3) granted authority to make refunds of excess Insurance Fund balances. No refunds are
anticipated through 1998.

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, telecommunications carriers that provide interstate telecommunications services 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 services eligible for universal service support as prescribed by the FCC. Telecommunications carriers
receive a credit towards their contribution by providing discount service to schools, libraries, and health care providers.
Support will also be provided to carriers offering services
in high cost areas of the United States and to carriers offering
services to low income consumers.
The estimates of fund costs presented here are based on
the best information currently available. The Commission is,
however, at a very early stage in determining the proxy model

This program provides for direct loans for the purpose of
spectrum licenses at the Federal Communications Commission’s auctions. The licenses are being purchased on an installment basis, which constitutes an extension of credit. The
first year of activity for this program was 1996.
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 or loan guarantees
that resulted from obligations or commitments in any year),
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.

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.

The BIF, a public enterprise revolving fund, derives its
income principally from insurance assessments paid by insured 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 1996, BIF’s fund balance
totaled $26.3 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 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.
In establishing fees for State banks, the appropriate Federal
banking agency 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 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 Deposit Insurance Funds Act of 1996 imposed a special
assessment to bring SAIF’s reserves up to 1.25 percent of
insured deposits. It also provides for the merger of BIF and
SAIF on January 1, 1999, provided that no insured depository
institution is a savings association on that date.

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 data

FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION—Continued
Federal Funds—Continued

OTHER INDEPENDENT AGENCIES

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; 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. Net proceeds from the former RTC will be paid
to the Resolution Funding Corporation.

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.

From 1993 to mid-1996, the FDIC was authorized to carry
out an affordable housing program. Under the program, single
and multifamily properties in FDIC’s inventory that were appraised below a certain threshold were 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 agreed to low-income rent restrictions were allowed to bid on the properties. In 1996, the
FDIC sold 6 single family properties for a total of $0.2 million
and 1 multifamily property for a total of $0.1 million.

Federal disaster assistance is a nationwide program operated pursuant to the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and
Emergency Assistance Act (Public Law 100–707). Supplementary assistance is provided to individuals, and State and
local governments in the event of a Presidentially declared
emergency or major disaster. Funds may be made available
directly to a State or local government, or to other Federal
agencies as reimbursement for expenditures in disaster relief
work performed under this authority. In addition, a variety
of other Federal agency assistance is coordinated under this
program.
The Administration is requesting an appropriation of $320
million in accordance with the Dire Emergency Supplemental
Appropriations Act of 1992. In addition, the 1998 request
includes $2,388 million to address actual and projected requirements from 1997 and prior year declarations.
This budget requests $5.8 billion in contingent funding for
1998, the 1991–1997 average annual emergency spending
under the BEA. This fund will be available to this and other
accounts as the need arises. Please see the Emergency Requirements for Natural Disasters account in the Funds Appropriated to the President Chapter for more detailed information. The requested amount for future years will be based
on average emergency funding under the BEA.
The base programs will have access to the proposed contingency fund once all current appropriations in the affected
account/accounts have been obligated, and a Presidential decision has been made to make additional funds available. The
fund is meant to be flexible enough to respond to a variety
of disasters and thus does not reserve or dedicate specific
amounts within the total for the eligible programs. The flexibility of the fund is essential to meet the full range of disaster
funding requirements.

Over the past 25 to 30 years, the nation’s exposure to losses from
natural hazards has increased dramatically, and has directly contributed to the escalating costs of disaster assistance. The implementation of mitigation measures can help reverse this trend, and save
future disaster dollars by reducing the need for expensive post-disaster recovery measures. In the 1998 budget, a new program under
the Disaster Relief Fund (DRF) is being proposed to fund pre-disaster
mitigation actions. The dollars provided for this purpose will primarily be used to reduce the vulnerability of critical facilities in
high risk areas and will result in long-term savings, not only to
the DRF, but to State and local taxpayers as well.

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 1998, 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 $422 million in 1998.
Loss and adjustment expense.—Insured flood losses and associated loss adjustment expense is estimated at $591 million
in 1998.
Interest expense.—Interest expenses for Treasury borrowings are projected; a ceiling of $50 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 1998.
Flood hazard reduction.—This activity, which includes
grants to States, is estimated at $7 million in 1998.
Mitigation assistance.—This activity is estimated at $20
million for 1998.
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 $22
million in 1998.
Financing.—The Administrator is authorized to borrow up
to $1 billion ($1.5 billion in 1997 only) to carry out the program. The program is financed through premium income and
appropriations to repay borrowing.
Operating results.—Program experience is reviewed annually and, as necessary, flood insurance rates will be adjusted
to maintain the NFIP’s self-supporting status for the historical average loss year, and to maintain the soundness of rates
for actuarially rated policies.

Disaster assistance loans authorized by the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (Public
Law 100–707) are loans to States for 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.

during fiscal year ø1997¿ 1998 shall approximate, but not be less
than, 100 per centum of the amounts anticipated by the Federal
Emergency Management Agency to be obligated for its radiological
emergency preparedness program for such fiscal year. The methodology for assessment and collection of fees shall be fair and equitable,
and shall reflect the full amount of costs of providing radiological
emergency planning, preparedness, response and associated services.
Such fees shall be assessed in a manner that reflects the use of
agency resources for classes of regulated persons and the administrative costs of collecting such fees. Fees received pursuant to this section shall be deposited in the general fund of the Treasury as offsetting receipts. Assessment and collection of such fees are only authorized during fiscal year ø1997¿ 1998. (Department of Veterans Affairs
and Housing and Urban Development, and Independent Agencies Appropriations Act, 1997.)

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
appropriation of $5 million. The Subcommittee is now operat-

duties of the Finance Board are: (1) to ensure that the twelve
Federal Home Loan Banks (Banks) operate in a safe and
sound manner; (2) to supervise all lending and related operations of the Banks; (3) to ensure that the Banks fulfill their

The Finance Board succeeded the former Federal Home Loan
Bank Board with respect to the Banks.
The management of the Finance Board is vested in a fivemember Board of Directors. The Directors are the Secretary
of Housing and Urban Development and four other individuals appointed by the President, with the advice and consent
of the Senate. The President designates one of the appointed
Directors as the Chairperson of the Board of Directors. The
term of a Director is seven years.
The Finance Board has the power to: (1) supervise the
Banks and promulgate and enforce such regulations and orders as are necessary; (2) suspend or remove for cause a
director, officer, employee, or agent of any Bank or joint office;
(3) determine necessary expenditures of the Finance Board
and the manner in which such expenditures shall be incurred,

The Federal Labor Relations Authority (FLRA): (1) 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;
(2) decides major policy issues; (3) prescribes regulations; and
(4) 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 responsibilities under the Federal Labor Relations Management Statute.

The Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service (FMCS or
the Service) provides assistance to parties in labor disputes
in industries affecting commerce through conciliation and mediation.
Dispute mediation.—The Service assists labor and management in mediation and prevention of disputes, other than
those involving rail and air transportation, whenever such
disputes threaten to cause a substantial interruption of interstate commerce or a major impairment to the national defense. The Service also makes mediation and conciliation services available to Federal agencies and organizations representing Federal employees in the resolution of negotiation
disputes. The Service provides mandatory mediation and,
where necessary, impartial boards of inquiry to assist in resolving labor disputes involving private nonprofit health care
institutions. The workload shown below includes assignments
closed in both the private and public sectors.

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 U.S. Government securities investment fund, a common stock index investment fund, and a fixed income 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

The Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board is responsible for managing the Thrift Savings Fund (Fund). The 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 Fund, the Fund is not included in
the totals of the Federal budget. Information on the financial
status and activities of the Fund follows this account.
Program administration for the 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 Federal government prior to vesting and from earnings on all participant
and agency contributions to the Fund.

1 1996 earnings include: return on investments in Government securities—$1,453 million; return on investments
in non-government instruments—$2,466 million; earnings on loans—$52 million; and agency payments for lost
earnings—$1 million.
2 Includes $69 million committed to the Barclays Equity Index Fund and $4 million committed to the Barclays
U.S. Debt Index Fund pending settlement.

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.

OTHER INDEPENDENT AGENCIES

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 1998 provides a total of 960
workyears. The program level for the Commission would increase from $101.9 million in 1997 to $108.0 million in 1998,
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
$80.0 million in premerger filings fees to finance its activities,
of which $10.0 million is derived from estimated carryover
fee balances.

Since the establishment of the Community Management
Staff (CMS) in 1992, additional programs and responsibilities
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

Title XV of Public Law 99–498 established the Institute

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

The Intelligence Community Staff provided support and assistance to the Director of Central Intelligence in his capacity
as the leader of the intelligence community. In 1992, the
Intelligence Community Staff was disbanded. Many of its

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; the Trade and Tariff Act of 1984; the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act of 1988; the North American Free Trade Agreement Implementation Act; and the Uruguay Round Agreements Act.
The Commission conducts investigations and makes findings concerning inter alia, whether: (1) increased imports are
a substantial cause of serious injury to an industry; (2) a
U.S. industry is being materially injured, or threatened with
material injury, or the establishment of such an industry
is being materially retarded, by reason of imports of goods

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 62 fellowships in 1996
and plans to award 60 in both 1997 and 1998.
Program administration.—This activity covers the costs of
planning, fund-raising, and the operation of the fellowship
program.

Since 1975, the Japan-United States Friendship Commission has operated with revenues generated from a Trust Fund
currently valued at approximately $47 million established
(both in Yen in Japan, and dollars in the U.S.) to provide
for annual grant programs and operations. The Administration proposes to privatize the Commission in 1998, that is,
to eliminate the Commission as a federal agency and provide
a $38 million start-up grant to a new, private, non-profit
corporation established to carry on the work of the Commission. The Administration proposes returning $9 million of
the original Trust Fund principal to general receipts of the
Department of Treasury to offset the cost of privatization.
A legislative proposal to enact this change will follow transmittal of the budget.

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.
1997 is the Board’s third and final year, and it will issue
a final report upon its termination.

The Merit Systems Protection Board’s mission is to assist
Federal agencies in running a merit-based civil service system. The MSPB accomplishes its mission on a case-by-case
basis through hearing and deciding employee appeals, and
on a systematic basis by reviewing significant actions and
regulations of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM)
and conducting studies of the civil service and other merit
systems. The intended results (outcomes) of MSPB’s efforts
are (1) to increase the assurance that personnel actions taken
against employees are processed within the law, and (2) that
actions taken by OPM and other agencies support and enhance Federal merit principles.

Public Law 102–259 established the Morris K. Udall Scholarship and Excellence in National Environmental Policy
Foundation to provide educational resources to promote studies in the natural environment and Native American public
health and tribal policy. In addition, the Foundation is authorized to fund the Udall Center for Studies in Public Policy
at the University of Arizona to carry out and manage programs established by the Foundation relating especially to
a program of environmental conflict resolution.
During 1996, the Foundation awarded its first 55 undergraduate scholarships to college juniors and seniors, from 27
states and Puerto Rico, majoring in fields relating to environmental public policy and to Native American upperclassmen
majoring in health care and fields related to public policy
on Indian reservations. Other major projects in 1996 included
a conference in conjunction with the Udall Center for Studies
in Public Policy and the Society of Environmental Journalists
on the topic of Environmental Health Issues in the U.S.-Mexico Border Region: Public Perception, the Knowledge Base and
Public Policy, and the first ever Native American Congressional Summer Internship Program. As part of that program,
10 Native American college graduates and seniors—men and
women—spent six weeks in Republican and Democrat congressional offices, and in the White House, learning how the
U.S. government works.
In 1997, the Foundation will increase the undergraduate
scholarships to qualified applicants (described above) to 70,
and Native American Congressional Summer Internship Program recipients from 10 to 12. In 1997, the interns will also
spend more time in Washington—10 weeks as opposed to
six in 1996. For the first time the Foundation will award
two Graduate Fellowships to Ph.D. candidates whose dissertation topics are in the area of environmental public policy
and conflict resolution, and whose work will contribute to
the mission of the Foundation. The Foundation, in conjunction
with the Udall Center for Studies in Public Policy and the
University of Arizona, will host the 1997 Annual Meeting
of the Society of Environmental Journalists.

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 provides oversight for the information
security program established by Executive Order 12958 and
reports annually to the President on the status of that program. It is also responsible for policy oversight for the National Industrial Security Program established under Executive Order 12829.
This activity also includes administrative costs for the National Historical Publications and Records Commission.
Archives II Facility.—Provides for construction and related
services of a new archival facility. Costs of construction are
financed by $301,702 thousand of federally, guaranteed debt
issued in 1989. Since 1994 and continuing in 1998, the Archives seeks appropriations for the annual payments for interest and redemption of debt to be made under the contract
for construction and related services.

Federal credit unions are privately owned, cooperative associations organized for the purpose of promoting thrift among
their members and creating a source of credit for provident
or productive purposes, authorized by the Federal Credit
Union Act of 1934, as amended.
The Administration’s activities consist of: (a) chartering new
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:

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 1997 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 1996 the income generated from the
1 percent deposit eliminated the need to assess the annual
premium. In addition, the fund paid a $102 million dividend
to federally insured credit unions in fiscal year 1997 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 $127 million
will be retained in the fund, raising the balance for unforeseen emergencies to $3.8 billion by the end of 1998.

The National Endowment for the Humanities funds activities that are intended to improve the quality of education
and teaching in the humanities, to strengthen the scholarly
foundation for humanities study and research, to preserve
cultural and intellectual resources, and to advance understanding of the humanities among general audiences.
Support is provided through outright grants, matching
grants, and a combination of the two. Eligible applicants include schools, higher education institutions, libraries, museums, historical organizations, professional associations, other
cultural institutions, state humanities councils, and individuals.
This presentation includes the Gifts and Donations account,
which previously had been presented separately. The National
Foundation on the Arts and the Humanities Act of 1965,
as amended, authorizes the Humanities Endowment to receive money and other donated property. Such gifts may be
used, sold, or otherwise disposed of to support humanities
projects and activities. Budget authority in this schedule reflects cash received each year by the Endowment.

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 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 all
cases and to avoid litigation.
Administrative law judge hearing.—Administrative law
judges conduct public hearings in unfair labor practice cases.
Their findings and recommendations are set forth in their
decisions.
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.

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.
Administrative direction and support for the public law
boards, special boards of adjustment, and the NRAB are provided by Federal employees who are compensated by the National Mediation Board.

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. This appropriation
supports NSF’s active development of performance indicators
that tie to the key program functions of Research Project
Support, Research Facilities, and Education and Training.
The major research program activities of the Foundation
are:
Biological sciences.—This activity promotes scientific
progress in biology through support of research ranging
from the study of molecules, through cells and organisms,
to studies of ecosystems.

Education and Human Resources (EHR) activities provide
a comprehensive set of programs that further NSF’s goal of
achieving excellence in U.S. science, mathematics, engineering, and technology (SMET) education. At the pre-kindergarten through grade 12 (pre K–12) level, EHR focuses on
the systemic reform of SMET education in states, cities,
school districts, and rural areas. Its pre K–12 programs provide new instructional materials and pedagogical techniques
that incorporate the latest advances in teaching, learning,
and educational technologies. They also provide enrichment
activities for teachers and students. Undergraduate initiatives
improve curriculum in all SMET fields and lead major reform
efforts in mathematics, chemistry, and other disciplines. EHR
programs strengthen laboratory course offerings and enhance
faculty. Programs for advanced technological education
strengthen education for students preparing to enter the hightechnology workforce. Graduate level support is directed primarily to research fellowships and traineeships to guarantee
the U.S. position of world leadership in science and technology. All EHR programming focuses on broadening participation of groups underrepresented in SMET fields. The Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research
(EPSCoR) broadens participation of states and regions in
science and engineering. EHR supports research that advances SMET education and promotes applications of educational technologies. Evaluation and communications activities ensure programmatic accountability by developing indicators that measure impact and inform the education community of best practices and other relevant information. This
appropriation also supports NSF’s active development of performance indicators that tie to the key program functions
of Education and Training and Research Project Support.

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), as an
independent nonregulatory agency, is charged with promoting
transportation safety through the investigation of accidents,
the conduct of special studies, the development of recommendations to prevent accidents, the evaluation of the effectiveness of other Government agencies in preventing transportation accidents, and the review of appeals of adverse certificate and civil penalty actions taken by the Administrators
of agencies of the Department of Transportation involving
airman and seaman certificates and licenses.
In 1998, the Administration requests a total funding level
of $46.0 million for NTSB Salaries and Expenses, including
$6 million to be derived from a proposed commercial aviation
accident investigation fee. This funding level represents an
8.5 percent increase above the 1997 enacted level of $42.4
million, excluding one-time costs associated with TWA 800.
It is uncertain whether the TWA 800 investigation will continue into 1998. In the event that it does, the Administration
anticipates that extraordinary costs related to the investigation would be funded through a supplemental appropriation.
The additional resources requested for 1998 will allow the
NTSB to hire additional accident investigators; contract with
private companies for communications and other services; and
fulfill the Presidential Memorandum of September 9, 1996,
which requires the NTSB to play a coordinating role, in conjunction with private non-profit organizations, in providing
assistance to families of victims of aviation accidents.

This is one of several proposals in the budget to charge
fees to users directly availing themselves of, or subject to,
a government service, program, or activity, in order to cover
the government’s costs. Legislation will be proposed to authorize a commercial aviation accident investigation fee and, upon
enactment of the authorization, and the appropriations language proposed above, the fees will become available for expenditure. Because the current requirements of the Budget
Enforcement Act of 1990 make it difficult to fund discretionary programs with receipts that are not authorized in
appropriations acts, the Administration is proposing a change
in the requirements to facilitate the enactment of proposals
such as this one.

EMERGENCY FUND
For necessary expenses of the National Transportation Safety
Board for accident investigations, including hire of passenger motor
vehicles and aircraft; services as authorized by 5 U.S.C. 3109, but
at rates for individuals not to exceed the per diem rate equivalent
to the rate for a GS–18; uniforms, or allowances therefor, as authorized by law (5 U.S.C. 5901–5902), $1,000,000ø: Provided, That the
entire amount is designated by Congress as an emergency requirement pursuant to section 251(b)(2)(D)(i) of the Balanced Budget and

The National Transportation Safety Board is mandated by
Congress to investigate all catastrophic transportation accidents and, therefore, has no control over the frequency of
costly accident investigations. The emergency fund provides
a funding mechanism by which periodic accident investigation
cost fluctuations can be met without delaying critical phases
of the investigations. In 1998, the Administration proposes
to double the size of the emergency fund to cover unanticipated costs associated with an increased number of accidents.

SALARIES

EXPENSES

For necessary expenses to carry out functions of the Office of Special Counsel pursuant to Reorganization Plan Numbered 2 of 1978,
the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978 (Public Law 95–454), the Whistleblower Protection Act of 1989 (Public Law 101–12), Public Law
103–424, and the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Act of 1994 (Public Law 103–353), including services as authorized by 5 U.S.C. 3109, payment of fees and expenses for witnesses,
rental of conference rooms in the District of Columbia and elsewhere,
and hire of passenger motor vehicles; ø$8,116,000¿ $8,450,000. (Independent Agencies Appropriations Act, 1997.)

The current Special Counsel has undertaken a review of
and made changes in virtually every aspect of the operations
of the OSC. The aim of these efforts has been to make the
OSC more responsive to those individuals who seek the agency’s assistance, to improve the productivity of the OSC’s employees, and to ensure that the OSC is an easily accessible
source of information about the rights of government employees.
Overall in FY 1996, there were more than 7,517 instances
in which the assistance or action of the OSC was sought
by federal employees and other persons. Many prohibited personnel practice and Hatch Act cases investigated by the OSC
are resolved without recourse to formal proceedings before
the MSPB. In Fiscal Year 1996 the OSC obtained 86 corrective or other favorable actions, and efforts to obtain such
negotiated resolutions will continue. In Fiscal Year 1996 the
OSC also filed 7 enforcement actions before the MSPB in
prohibited personnel practice and Hatch Act matters. The
OSC also issued a record-setting 3,578 Hatch Act advisory
opinions (both written and oral) to people who sought advice.
During FY 1996, the OSC’s Disclosure Unit received 384 disclosure matters for possible referral and completed 225 of
them. Twenty-nine Disclosure Unit matters were referred to
agency heads for their review.
The following tables display the anticipated workloads:

Financing.—The Commission has two Treasury accounts:
the Revolving Fund, which covers operations, and the Dissolution Fund, which provides for costs associated with the dissolution of the Panama Canal Commission and will not be
available for obligation until October 1, 1998. 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 Panama Canal Revolving Fund. 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.
The amount set aside from toll receipts for a capital advance in 1998 is $68.3 million. No provision is made for
working capital in 1998.
The budget reflects a two phase toll rate increase of 8.2
percent effective January 1, 1997, and 7.5 percent effective
January 1, 1998. The Commission incurred an operating loss
of $1.7 million in 1996 and is budgeting a modest loss of
$1.9 million for 1997. Both losses will be carried forward
and fully recovered in 1998.

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 (GrammRudman-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 pro-

1103

motes 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, 1998, it is expected that the total debt
instruments issued and outstanding pursuant to this authority will amount to $11.789 billion.
Operating.—Estimated revenue will total $59.553 billion in
1998. This includes $59.414 billion from mail and services
revenue, $72 million from investment income, and $67 million
accrued for revenue foregone appropriations in 1998. Total
expenses are estimated at $61.386 billion in 1998.
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 substantial 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

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 35 cents per hour.

All railroad retirees receive the equivalent of a social security benefit, and they may also receive other add-ons including rail industry pension payments, windfall payments, and
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.
Under current law, a financial interchange occurs once each
year between the social security trust funds and the social
security equivalent benefit (SSEB) account. The SSEB receives monthly advances from the general fund equal to an
estimate of the transfer the SSEB would have received for
the previous month if the financial interchange transfers were
on a monthly basis. Advances from the previous year are
repaid annually to the general fund immediately after the
financial interchange is received. In 1996, $3,150 million was
advanced and $3,081 million was repaid.

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 of 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. 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) as a temporary agency to dispose of insolvent thrift institutions. The Savings Association Insurance
Fund (SAIF) took over responsibility for resolving failed
thrifts on July 1, 1995, and the RTC’s assets and liabilities
were transferred to the FSLIC Resolution Fund (FRF) on
December 31, 1995. Beginning on January 1, 1996, activities
related to the former RTC are included in the budget schedules of FRF.
Of $18.3 billion appropriated to RTC in 1993 by the RTC
Completion Act, 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 $13.8 billion was not transferred to
the FSLIC Resolution Fund upon RTC termination, but remains available for transfer to SAIF until December 31, 1997.

The Energy and Water Development Act of 1997 did not
provide funding for the River Basin Commissions, and the
1998 Budget requests no funds for these Commissions. The
1998 Budget proposes supplemental appropriations language
so that, beginning in 1997 and thereafter, the United States
members and the alternate members appointed under the
Susquehanna River Basin Compact and the Delaware River
Basin Compact shall be officers or employees of the Executive
Branch who shall serve without additional compensation.

The primary mission of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission) is to administer and enforce the
federal securities laws in order to protect investors, and to
maintain fair, honest, and efficient markets.
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 con-

ducted 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 mandated electronic filing began in April
1993. As of May 6, 1996, all 28,000 companies and funds
registered with the SEC were phased in, except for certain
foreign issuers. As of December 6, 1996, the operational system has received and disseminated over 407,000 filings. The
operational contract, due to expire in January 1997, is being
extended for one additional year to allow sufficient time to
conduct a full and open competition for a new EDGAR contract. Contract costs for 1997 are estimated at $8.2 million.
EDGAR costs are allocated between the Full Disclosure Program ($6.6 million) and Investment Management Regulation
($1.6 million). Offers on a new EDGAR contract are expected
to be received no later than January 24, 1997. The costs
for the follow-on contract are not known at this time and
will depend heavily on the extent of privatization proposed
by the offerors and accepted by Congress.

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 protect investors
against 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. The Commission also
conducts examinations of broker-dealers and inspections of
transfer agents, clearing agencies, and self-regulatory organizations.

Legal and economic services.—This program provides a
range of legal services and economic analyses to the Commission concerning its law enforcement, regulatory, and legislative activities, including: (i) prosecution of enforcement actions
in appellate courts; (ii) representation of the Commission in
all other appellate litigation, in private litigation where the
Commission appears as amicus curiae, and in corporate reorganizations; (iii) representation of the Commission in actions
brought against the Commission and its employees; (iv) preparation of Congressional testimony and comments and advice
concerning proposed securities legislation; (v) advice to the
Commission concerning issues arising from its law enforcement and regulatory activities; (vi) preparation of draft opinions of adjudicatory decisions and advice to the Commission
regarding its adjudicatory decisions; (vii) advice to the Commission regarding compliance with government-wide statutes
and the statutes and rules applicable to the agency’s activities; and (viii) economic analyses of proposed regulations and
legislation, litigation support in enforcement cases, and independent studies of issues affecting the securities markets.
In addition, the administrative law judges conduct hearings
and issue initial decisions in formal administrative proceedings where the Commission has determined that hearings
are appropriate in the public interest and for the protection
of public investors.

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.
The Commission will be supported in the future by the
funding structure included in Title IV of the ‘‘National Securities Markets Improvement Act of 1996’’ (P.L. 104–290), which
was signed by the President on October 11, 1996. This law
will over time reduce the rates of fees charged under Federal
securities laws. In 1998, the Section 6(b) fee rate paid by
corporations to register securities with the Commission will
be reduced from 1⁄33 of one percent, the 1997 enacted level,
to 1⁄34 of one percent of the maximum aggregate price at
which such securities are proposed to be offered. The first
1⁄50 of one percent of this fee shall be deposited in the general
fund of the U.S. Treasury, and the remaining increment will
be made available for use by the Commission as an offsetting
collection. This reduction in the registration fee rate will modestly lower the cost of raising capital in the United States.
In addition, to promote equity across securities markets, the
‘‘National Securities Markets Improvement Act of 1996’’ extends transaction fees to the over-the-counter market at a
rate of 1⁄300 of one percent of the aggregate dollar amount
of securities transacted, the rate currently paid by all national
and regional exchanges. These new transaction fees also will
be available to the Commission as an offsetting collection.

The Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC) may
borrow up to $1 billion from the U.S. Department of the
Treasury, through the Commission, in the event that the fund
maintained by SIPC is insufficient to satisfy the claims of
customers of failing brokerage firms. To date, SIPC has not
needed these loans.

SELECTIVE SERVICE SYSTEM
Federal Funds

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. Should the Nation return to conscription for a national emergency, the SSS must respond
effectively to current Department of Defense requirements
to have the first draftees at military processing centers 193
days after a mobilization.
In 1998 through interagency partnership with other agencies, the SSS will expand its national initiative, ‘‘Service to
America’’ to afford every young man that receives an SSS
registration acknowledgment card, over 1.9 million annually,
the opportunity to serve America today through volunteer
military or civilian service. Important messages about public
service opportunities will be incorporated into the existing
registration acknowledgment process. In this way, the SSS
will also become a clearing house for other Federal agencies
encouraging America’s youth to serve the Nation during
peacetime.
In addition to improving business processes and registration
compliance statistics, the Agency is moving to a more modern
computer technology, new reengineering projects and revised
methods of registration.

in 1984 as a private, non-profit corporation to make grants

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 1998 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.
The following table provides detailed information on programs financed by power proceeds and borrowings and programs financed by appropriations and nonpower proceeds.

TVA’s program paid for by appropriations.—TVA’s legislated mandate is to provide for 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 7.3 million customers.
Appropriations provide for 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. The Budget proposes that $106 million be appropriated for these purposes in 1998. The Budget
also announces TVA’s intention to develop a plan that would
eliminate Federal government funding for these programs for
TVA for 1999 and beyond. During 1997 and 1998, TVA will
work with Congress, State and local governments and other
interested parties and will undertake a major effort to find
alternate ways to fund, organize and manage these programs.
Water and Land Stewardship.—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

1121

services and education to watershed communities; operate
public recreation areas at 36 dam reservations, 160 camping
and day-use areas, 90 stream access sites; and meet federal
regulatory law requirements.
The Tennessee Valley Authority and the Army Corps of
Engineers will jointly study and by September 1, 1997 submit
a report and recommendations to the Office of Management
and Budget on management arrangements by which the activities of these agencies on the Cumberland River and the
Tennessee River could be integrated in order to improve the
operation of these river systems for navigation, flood control,
the production of electric power, recreation and other public
benefits and reduce the costs of such operations to both taxpayers and electricity consumers. The cost of conducting the
study and developing the recommendations will be borne
equally by the Tennessee Valley Authority and the Army
Corps of Engineers.
Land Between the Lakes.—Partially funds 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 initial stages of a
construction project for 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 $75,000,000 in 1998. Power generating
facilities are financed from power proceeds and borrowings.

$59,000,000—$39,000,000 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 decrease by $225,000,000 during 1998.
Total assets are estimated to decrease by $270,000,000 during 1998. The estimate of liabilities at September 30, 1998,
is $94,000,000 less than the estimate at September 30, 1997.
Total Government equity at September 30, 1998, is estimated
to be $122,000,000 greater than that at September 1997. This
change includes the requested appropriation for 1998 and
the net income from power operations, less payments to the
Treasury and the net expense of nonpower programs.

The Combined Benefit 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; past transfers from an overfunded United Mine Workers pension fund; and, beginning
in 1996, transfers from the Abandoned Mine Land Reclamation Fund.

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. These steps included
restructuring DOE’s uranium enrichment activities, establishing a track record of successful operations, and finally, selling
the business to the private sector. It is the policy of the
U.S. Government to sell USEC as soon as possible. Recognizing that it is a complex sales process, the transaction is likely
to be completed early in 1998.
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

activities out of the Government, and by applying privatesector 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 commercialize the Atomic Vapor Laser Isotope Separation (AVLIS) process, the next generation of uranium enrichment technology. USEC’s ability to implement
AVLIS, which is expected to lower production costs, should
enhance the long-term viability of the Corporation.
Budget Program.—During 1996, USEC maintained its position as the world leader in uranium enrichment by pursuing
value-added sales and controlling costs. USEC also continued
with AVLIS technology pre-deployment activities. In addition,
USEC, acting as Executive Agent for the U.S. Government,
continued to receive shipments from Russia of low enriched
uranium (LEU) blended down from highly enriched uranium
(HEU) taken from Soviet-era nuclear warheads. USEC’s privatization continues to progress with the enactment of the
USEC Privatization Act as part of the Omnibus Consolidated
Rescissions and Appropriations Act of 1996 (Public Law 104–
134).
In November 1996, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission
(NRC) issued certificates of compliance for USEC’s two gaseous diffusion plants. These certificates represent NRC’s conclusion that the plants comply with NRC’s safety, safeguards
and security requirements. Additionally, as Executive Agent
for the Russian HEU contract, USEC reached a five-year
agreement with the Russian Federation in November 1996
to purchase LEU derived from 132 metric tons of HEU. The
new agreement increases the LEU to be delivered by approximately 50% during the five-year term when compared to the
original agreement. In December 1996, USEC transferred to
DOE the natural uranium component of the Russian HEU
contract with purchased value of approximately $160 million.
Consistent with the USEC Privatization Act, DOE will transfer 7,000 metric tons of natural uranium and 50 metric tons
of HEU to USEC in advance of privatization so that it can
be appropriately included in all of the sale documentation.
In 1998 or earlier, the Administration plans to sell USEC
to the private sector with estimated net proceeds to the Treasury of approximately $1.6 billion.
Financing.—$40 million was transferred to the Corporation
by DOE during 1996 in accordance with a determination
order issued by the Office of Management and Budget.
Operating Results.—The Corporation’s net income for 1996
was $313 million and is expected to increase to $322 million
in 1997. USEC paid a $120 million dividend to the Treasury
in 1996 in accordance with the Energy Policy Act of 1992
and expects to pay a $120 million dividend in 1997.
Note.—Receipts from the sale of USEC appears in the General Fund Receipt Accounts
table in the Treasury Chapter.

Note.—In FY 1998, staff and associated support costs for Educational and Cultural Affairs will be funded
in the Exchanges programs account.

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 1996, the Agency completed a strategic plan and identified preliminary goals, objectives and measurements for all
key programs in accordance with the Government Performance and Results Act of 1993. In 1998, USIA will continue
to collect information on performance that will be used to
develop future budget requests.
Agency overseas information and cultural program operations and support functions are financed from this appropriation and consist of the following major elements.
Overseas missions.—The Agency currently operates 190
U.S. Information Service posts in 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.
Bureau of Information.—This technologically advanced Bureau supports U.S. foreign policy by means of instant and
in-depth communications with international opinion leaders
and policy makers. The Bureau provides information electronically through the Agency’s World Wide Web home pages,
its daily Washington File and biweekly thematic journals.
It supports the Agency’s U.S. foreign press centers and overseas Information Resource Centers, which draw on databases
and other electronically delivered information. The Bureau
supports U.S. speakers and specialists at U.S. Information
Service posts not only through overseas travel, but also
through interactive dialogues via telephone and digitized
video conferences. It also publishes pamphlets and other
printed materials for distribution to those who influence international opinion.
Agency direction and management.—This activity includes
managerial staffs, research and centralized servicing functions
for the Agency.
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 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 programs authorized by the Mutual Educational and Cultural Exchange Act
of 1961, as amended, to support U.S. foreign, economic and
security policy objectives by fostering increased mutual understanding between the people of the United States and other
nations. Programs under this appropriation include:
Academic Programs.—Includes the J. William Fulbright
Educational Exchange Program for the exchange of students,
scholars and teachers between the United States and foreign
countries; Hubert H. Humphrey and Edmund S. Muskie fellowship programs of academic study and internships for midcareer professionals from developing countries and the Newly
Independent States of the former Soviet Union (NIS);
graduate- and postdoctoral-level Near and Middle East studies and research by U.S. students and scholars; and programs
in support of the study of the United States in other countries
designed to promote better foreign understanding of the United States.
Professional/Cultural Exchanges.—Includes the International Visitor Program which supports travel in the United
States by emerging foreign political leaders, professionals and
educators to obtain firsthand knowledge about the United
States, its people, politics and culture; and cooperative exchange programs with non-governmental organizations, such
as the Citizen Exchanges Program which awards grants to
U.S. non-profit organizations for professional, cultural, institutional, and grassroots community exchanges with foreign
counterparts; the Congress-Bundestag Exchange Program;
and other special programs.
NIS and SEED Exchanges.—Includes democracy and freemarket development programs for the exchange of students,
scholars and professionals between the United States and
the NIS and Central and Eastern Europe under the FREEDOM Support Act of 1992 and the Support for East European
Democracy Act of 1989.
Exchanges Support.—Includes staff and associated support
costs required to administer the programs noted above. It
also provides support costs for the J. William Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board, binational centers, English teaching
and other educational and cultural activities. In the past several years, funding for these costs was divided between the
Salaries and Expenses and Educational and Cultural Exchange Programs accounts. In 1998, funding for all staff and
associated support costs for programs managed by the Bureau
of Educational and Cultural Affairs is requested in this appropriation.
The Agency has developed a strategic framework for performance measurement of Educational and Cultural Exchange
Programs in accordance with the Government Performance
and Results Act of 1993 (GPRA). In 1998, performance meas-

implementation and program management.
Finally, the Administration is taking steps to establish an
Office of U.S. Government International Exchange and Training Coordination in USIA’s Educational and Cultural Affairs
Bureau. This office will lead an effort to increase cooperation
and eliminate duplication of effort among over 35 Federal
agencies that administer international exchange and training
programs.

The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority
(WMATA) is a non-Federal agency established pursuant to
an interstate compact among Maryland, Virginia, and the
District of Columbia. The Authority’s primary functions are
to plan, develop, finance, and construct the Metrorail rapid
transit system and to operate the bus/rail transit system in
the National Capital area.
Through 1994, this WMATA account provided the annual
Federal share (two-thirds) of interest payments on outstanding WMATA bonds sold in support of the rail construction
program.
In December 1993, the WMATA bonds were refinanced and
the Department of Transportation borrowed $665 million from
the Federal Financing Bank (FFB) to pay off the Federal
share of the original bonds.
In 1995, $665 million was appropriated to repay the principal owed by the Department of Transportation to the FFB.
In addition, an indefinite appropriation was enacted to pay
$12 million in interest costs to the FFB. The only remaining
activity in this account was the spend-out of obligated balances of funds that were directly appropriated to WMATA
for the construction of the Metrorail system and for the construction of facilities throughout the system for senior citizens
and persons with disabilities. No funds are requested for this
account in 1998.
