The Congressional Accountability Act of 1995 (CAA) established an independent Office of Compliance to apply the rights

statutes to covered employees within the legislative branch:
the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, Title VII of the Civil
Rights Act of 1964, the Americans with Disabilities Act of
1990, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967,
the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, the Occupational
Safety and Health Act of 1970, chapter 71 of title 5 of the
U.S. Code (relating to Federal service labor-management relations), the Employee Polygraph Protection Act of 1988, the
Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and chapter 43 of title 38 of the

applied by the CAA. The Office is headed by a five-member
Board of Directors, who are appointed jointly by the House
and Senate majority and minority leadership.

øADMINISTRATION

PROVISION¿

øSEC. 209. (a) GRANT FOR CARE AND MAINTENANCE OF CONGRESSIONAL CEMETERY.—In order to assist in the perpetual care and maintenance of the historic Congressional Cemetery, the Architect of the
Capitol shall make a grant to the National Trust for Historic Preservation (hereafter in this section referred to as the ‘‘National Trust’’)
in accordance with an agreement entered into by the Architect of
the Capitol with the National Trust and the Association for the Preservation of Historic Congressional Cemetery (hereafter in this section
referred to as the ‘‘Association’’) which contains the terms and conditions described in subsection (b) and such other provisions as the
Architect may deem necessary or desirable for the implementation
of this section or for the protection of the interests of the Federal
Government.
(b) TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF AGREEMENT.—The terms and conditions described in this subsection are as follows:
(1) Upon receipt of the amounts provided under the grant made
under subsection (a), the National Trust shall deposit the amounts
in a permanently restricted account in its endowment and shall
administer, invest, and manage such grant funds in the same manner as other National Trust endowment funds.
(2) The National Trust shall make distributions to the Association from the amounts deposited in the endowment pursuant to
paragraph (1), in accordance with its regularly established spending
rate, for the care and maintenance of the Cemetery (other than
the cost of personnel), except that the National Trust may only
make such distributions incrementally and proportionately upon
receipt by the National Trust of contributions from the Association
which incrementally match the amounts provided under the grant
made under subsection (a) and which are to be added to the permanently restricted account described in paragraph (1).
(3) The Association shall use such distributions from the endowment and the match for the care and maintenance of Congressional
Cemetery, except that the Association may not use such distributions for nonroutine restoration or capital projects.
(4) The Association, or any successor thereto, shall maintain adequate records and accounts of all financial transactions and operations carried out with such distributions, and such records shall
be available at all times for audit and investigation by the Architect
of the Capitol and the Comptroller General.

The Judiciary Office Building Development Act, Public Law
100–480, among other purposes, authorizes the Architect of
the Capitol to contract for the design and construction of
a building adjacent to Union Station in the District of Columbia to be leased to the Judicial Branch of the United States.
This schedule reflects the costs associated with the construction of the building. Costs of construction were financed by
an initial $125 million of Federal agency debt (sales price
less unamortized discount) issued in 1989.
Estimates prepared by the Legislative Branch assumed the
financial arrangements to be a lease-purchase, which would
distribute outlays associated with acquisition of the building
over a period of thirty years. However, the arrangements
involve Federally guaranteed financing and other characteristics that make them substantively the same as direct Federal
construction, financed by direct Federal borrowing. Because
estimated expenditures of the Legislative Branch are required
to be included in the budget as submitted and without
change, this separate schedule is included as an adjustment
to reflect direct construction costs and associated interest
costs, consistent with standard budget concepts and scoring
conventions.
Estimates shown are consistent with the requirements of
the Budget Enforcement Act and are presented with the
agreement of the Budget and Appropriations Committees.

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

The United States Tax Court is a Court of record established under Article I of the Constitution of the United States.
The Court is composed of a Chief Judge and eighteen judges.
Judges of the Tax Court are appointed by the President,
by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, for 15
year terms. Decisions by the Court are reviewable by the
United States Courts of Appeals and, if certiorari is granted,
by the Supreme Court.
In their judicial duties, the judges are assisted by Senior
Judges, who participate in the adjudication of regular cases,
and by Special Trial Judges, who hear small tax cases and
certain regular cases assigned to them by the Chief Judge.
The Court conducts trial sessions throughout the United
States, including Hawaii and Alaska.
The matters over which the Court has jurisdiction are set
forth in various sections of Title 26 of the U.S. Code.
For 2000, the Court proposes a trial program of 600 weeks
consisting of 264 weeks of trial sessions assigned to Presidentially appointed Judges, 236 weeks of trial sessions assigned to Special Trial Judges, and 100 weeks of lengthy
special sessions. Trials are held in approximately 80 cities
throughout the United States.
Statistics on the actual and estimated number of cases before the court are presented in the following tabulation:

published in August 1974, September 1981, and August 1985,
respectively. The sixth and seventh volumes were published
in 1988. The eighth volume was published in 1993. Additional
volumes are nearing completion.
Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe.—The
Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe is authorized and directed to monitor the acts of the signatories which
reflect compliance with or violation of the articles of the Final
Act of the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe,
with particular regard to the provisions relating to Cooperation in Humanitarian Fields. The law establishing the Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe also mandated
it to monitor and encourage U.S. Government and private
activities designed to expand East-West trade and the exchange of people and ideas. The Commission will receive
semiannual reports from the President on the signatories’
compliance with the Final Act and on U.S. activities in trade
and cultural/humanitarian exchange and it will itself make
advisory reports to the Congress on the progress of implementation.
The Commission is made up of nine Senators, nine Members of the House of Representatives and one Commissioner
each from the Departments of State, Defense, and Commerce.
Trade Deficit Review Commission.—The Commission was
created in Public Law 105–277 to study the nature, causes,
and consequences of the United States merchandise trade
and current account deficits.
International Conferences and Contingencies.—The International Conferences and Contingencies account provides
funds to cover the expenses of House and Senate participants

the general revision of the copyright law, an independent
Copyright Royalty Tribunal was created in the Legislative
Branch. The Tribunal is composed of three commissioners
appointed by the President with the advice and consent of
the Senate for staggered terms of 7 years each.
The Tribunal’s statutory responsibilities are: (a) to make
determinations concerning copyright royalty rates (1) in the
area of cable television (17 U.S.C. 111), (2) for phonorecords
(17 U.S.C. 115), (3) for coin-operated phonorecord players
(jukeboxes) (17 U.S.C. 116), (4) for non-commercial broadcasting (17 U.S.C. 118), and (5) for digital audio devices (17
U.S.C. 1004); and (b) to distribute cable television, satellite
carrier, jukebox, and digital audio devices and media royalties
deposited with the Register of Copyrights (17 U.S.C. 111,
116, 119, 1005, and 1007).
Public Law 103–198 abolished the Copyright Royalty Tribunal and created a Copyright Arbitration Royalty Panel System
administered by the Library of Congress Copyright Office.
Commission on Immigration Reform.—The Commission’s
mandate was to review and evaluate the implementation and
impact of U.S. immigration policy. Its final report was transmitted to the Congress September 30, 1997. The Commission
expired January 1998.

øSEC. 312. AMERICAN FOLKLIFE CENTER. (a) FINDINGS AND
PURPOSE.—
(1) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following findings:
(A) The American Folklife Center in the Library of Congress
was created by Congress in 1976, building on the vast expertise
and archival material existing at the Library since 1928.

THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2000
(B) As an instrumentality of the Congress, it is fitting that
the American Folklife Center should have a direct and close
relationship with the representatives of the people, who are
best able to oversee the ongoing activities of the Center to
preserve and promote the cultural traditions of the people,
and to ensure that the resources of the Center be readily available to all Americans.
(C) In over 20 years since its creation, the American Folklife
Center in the Library of Congress has—
(i) increased the size of the Archive of Folk Culture from 500,000
to 1,500,000 multi-format ethnographic items;
(ii) engaged in 15 cultural surveys and field documentation projects
in all regions of the country;
(iii) provided publications, documentary equipment on loan, and
advisory and reference service to persons and institutions in all 50
States;
(iv) produced exhibitions and other educational programs on American Folklife at the Library and around the country;
(v) begun sharing its unique collections in digital form via the
Internet; and
(vi) served as a national center for the professions of folklore,
ethnomusicology, and cultural studies.
(D) Congress has consistently provided encouragement and
support of American Folklife as an appropriate matter of concern to the Federal Government, passing legislation to reauthorize the Center eight times since its creation in 1976.
(E) The American Folklife Center is the only unit in the
Library of Congress which is not permanently authorized. Since
its establishment in 1976, the Center’s collections and activities
have been fully and successfully integrated into the Library
of Congress. It is useful to statutorily conform the American
Folklife Center with the rest of the Library of Congress.
(2) PURPOSE.—It is the purpose of this section to authorize permanently the American Folklife Center in the Library of Congress
to preserve and present American Folklife.
(b) REAUTHORIZATION AND AMENDMENT.—

DIRECTOR; ELIMINATION OF DEPUTY DIRECTOR POSITION.—Section 4

percent of the minimum rate of basic pay payable for GS–15 of
the General Schedule nor more than an amount equal to the pay
payable under level IV of the Executive Schedule under section 5315
of title 5, United States Code.’’; and
(E) in subsection (g)—
(i) in paragraph (1), by striking the paragraph designation; and
(ii) by striking paragraph (2).
(2) ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS.—Section 7(a)(4) of the American

Code, and is not required to pay an additional amount for the cost
of administration. (Legislative Branch Appropriations Act, 1999.)

øGENERAL PROVISION, THIS CHAPTER¿
øThe responsibility for design, installation, and maintenance of security systems to protect the physical security of the buildings and
grounds of the Library of Congress is transferred from the Architect
of the Capitol to the Capitol Police Board. Such design, installation,
and maintenance shall be carried out under the direction of the
Committee on House Oversight of the House of Representatives and
the Committee on Rules and Administration of the Senate, and without regard to section 3709 of the Revised Statues of the United
States (41 U.S.C. 5). Any alteration to a structural, mechanical, or
architectural feature of the buildings and grounds of the Library
of Congress that is required for a security system under the preceding
