transmitted on February 26, 1999 (H. Doc. 106-32). In addition,
the Committee addresses the special message submitted on
February 1, 1999 (H. Doc. 106-14).
The Committee has recommended an original Senate
supplemental bill in order to expedite Senate consideration.
TITLE I--EMERGENCY SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATIONS
CHAPTER 1
DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
Office of the Secretary
EMERGENCY GRANTS TO ASSIST LOW-INCOME MIGRANT AND SEASONAL FARMWORKERS

Citrus Canker Eradication
Citrus canker poses a serious threat to the $8,000,000,000
a year Florida citrus industry. This extremely contagious
bacterial disease has been spread by hurricanes and other storm
systems. The impact of the spread of citrus canker is
$200,000,000 annually in increased production costs and market
restrictions. Detection and eradication of the disease is
possible with existing methods and technology.
The Committee urges the Secretary of Agriculture to utilize
existing authorities to address this emergency and to report to
the Committee within 30 days of enactment of this Act on the
actions that have been taken to detect and eradicate this
disease.

The Committee recommends $41,300,000 to support an
estimated $175,000,000 in additional emergency disaster loans
to provide assistance to farmers and ranchers for farmland,
livestock, and crop damages resulting from natural disasters.
The Committee also recommends $29,940,000 to support an
estimated $200,000,000 in additional direct farm ownership

operating loans; and $16,169,000 to support an estimated
$185,000,000 in additional subsidized guaranteed farm operating
loans.
Depressed farm prices and natural disasters have resulted
in exceptionally strong agricultural credit needs. The demand
exceeds available resources and these loan funds are nearly
depleted.

Committee on February 9, 1999, on the need for this
supplemental funding.
CHAPTER 2
FUNDS APPROPRIATED TO THE PRESIDENT
Agency for International Development
CENTRAL AMERICA AND THE CARIBBEAN EMERGENCY DISASTER RECOVERY FUND
(including transfers of funds)
1999 appropriation to date..............................................
1999 supplemental estimate.............................. $621,000,000
Committee recommendation................................ 611,000,000
Total economic damages caused by Hurricane Mitch, including
direct, indirect and replacement costs, have been estimated at
$7,425,000,000. There have been more than 9,000 confirmed
deaths and another 9,100 men, women and children remain
missing. At least 3,000,000 people either were forced out of
their homes or saw their homes destroyed.
The Committee intends that funds for reconstruction will be
disbursed through non-governmental organizations and local
governments whenever possible and appropriate. AID missions
should encourage national reconstruction plans to be designed
and implemented with substantial input from a broad range of
citizens' organizations. In addition, funds should be used to
strengthen relevant government agencies and non-governmental
organizations to monitor and prevent the misuse of funds.
INTERNATIONAL DISASTER ASSISTANCE
1999 appropriation to date.............................. $200,000,000
1999 supplemental estimate.............................. 25,000,000
Committee recommendation................................ 35,000,000
The Committee has provided full funding of the entire
Administration request for recovery efforts. However, the
Committee has provided $10,000,000 less in Recovery Fund
resources and $10,000,000 more for the International Disaster
Assistance account which has more flexible procedures for
administering funds.
Other Bilateral Economic Assistance
ECONOMIC SUPPORT FUND
1999 appropriation to date.............................. $2,367,000,000
1999 supplemental estimate.............................. 250,000,000
Committee recommendation................................ 50,000,000
The Committee has fully funded the Administration's fiscal
year 1999 supplemental request for economic assistance for
Jordan. Historically, the Committee has earmarked resources for
Jordan substantially in excess of funds requested by the
Administration in recognition of the key role Jordan's
leadership has played in the peace process. The Committee views
full funding of the supplemental request as a strong statement
of confidence in the new leadership of King Abdullah and
support for his government's efforts to promote economic
stability and reform.
MILITARY ASSISTANCE
Funds Appropriated to the President
FOREIGN MILITARY FINANCING PROGRAM
1999 appropriation to date.............................. $3,330,000,000
1999 supplemental estimate.............................. 650,000,000
Committee recommendation................................ 50,000,000
The Committee has fully funded the fiscal year 1999
supplemental Foreign Military Financing grant request for
Jordan. This request will help meet key modernization
requirements of the Jordanian Armed Forces including the
procurement of spare parts and services to maintain U.S.
equipment already in inventory, replacement of munitions
stocks, the upgrade of the HAWK air defense system with the
procurement of additional missiles, modernization of ground
forces with anti-armor systems, and the improvement of border
security with training and selected equipment.
DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY
International Development Assistance
Multilateral Assistance
DEBT RESTRUCTURING
1999 appropriation to date.............................. $33,000,000
1999 supplemental estimate.............................. 41,000,000
Committee recommendation................................ 41,000,000
The Committee has fully funded the Administration's
request. The funding has been made subject to the regular
notification procedures of the Committee on Appropriations.
GENERAL PROVISION, THIS CHAPTER
Drawn down Authority.--Restores draw down authority for the
Department of Defense to meet emerging requirements to other
regions. The Committee intends that these replenished resources
be used in regions other than Central America.
CHAPTER 3
DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
United States Fish and Wildlife Service
Construction
1999 appropriation to date.............................. $50,453,000
1999 supplemental estimate..............................................
Committee recommendation................................ 12,612,000
The Committee recommends an additional $12,612,000 for
construction to repair damage due to rain, winds, ice, snow,
and other acts of nature in the Pacific Northwest and Nevada.
This amount is contingent upon receipt of a budget request that
includes a Presidential designation of the amount requested as
an emergency requirement as defined in the Balanced Budget and
Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, as amended.
OTHER RELATED AGENCIES
United States Holocaust Memorial Council
HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL COUNCIL
The Committee recommends $2,000,000 in emergency funding
for the Holocaust Memorial Council. This amount, which is to
remain available until expended, will allow the Holocaust
Museum to begin work immediately on priority security needs
identified in a recently completed threat assessment survey.
CHAPTER 4
INDEPENDENT AGENCY
Federal Emergency Management Agency
DISASTER ASSISTANCE FOR UNMET NEEDS
1999 appropriation to date..............................................
1999 supplemental estimate..............................................
Committee recommendation................................ $313,600,000
The Committee is transferring responsibility for awarding
disaster assistance to states for unmet disaster needs from the
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to the
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The Committee is
concerned over HUD's continuing failure to implement an
effective emergency disaster relief program for the ``unmet
needs'' of states with Presidentially-declared natural
disasters. Instead, the Committee believes that FEMA is the
appropriate Federal agency for addressing these unmet disaster
needs since FEMA has primary responsibility for assessing and
responding to all natural disasters and for administering most
primary programs of disaster assistance.
In particular, FEMA is urged to review and respond
appropriately to the needs of the Northeast for damage
resulting from the ice storms of last winter. HUD failed to
respond properly to these needs despite congressional concern
over the ice damage. In addition, FEMA is directed to work with
the State of Mississippi to address the damage resulting from
the recent flooding in that state. The Committee understands
that damage estimates provided by Mississippi total some
$66,000,000 for buy-outs and other assistance. FEMA is again
urged to respond appropriately. The Committee also urges FEMA
to work to ensure that the City of Kelso, Washington, receives
such assistance as is necessary and appropriate to compensate
homeowners in the federally-declared disaster area impacted by
the Aldercrest landslide.
The Committee is concerned about creating a new Federal
disaster program which may result in reduced state and local
efforts to address disaster risks. The Committee urges the
authorizing committee to review this funding and, if
appropriate, establish program requirements and funding
recommendations.
This amount is contingent upon the receipt of a budget
request that includes a Presidential designation of the amount
requested as an emergency requirement as defined in the
Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, as
amended.
GENERAL PROVISION, THIS TITLE
The Committee establishes an Emergency Steel Loan Guarantee
Program to provide near term relief for U.S. steel producers.
The Committee understands that the record level of 40,000,000
tons of imported steel in 1998 has severely injured the U.S.
steel industry; that the steel import crisis has resulted in
the loss of more than 10,000 American steel worker jobs; that
the steel import crisis has impacted the U.S. steel industry by
reducing production volume, lowering prices, creating financial
losses, and diminishing the ability to obtain credit; that the
steel import crisis is directly responsible for reductions in
the tax base of cities, counties, and states; and that a strong
U.S. steel industry is a critical element of the U.S. defense
industrial base, and is necessary to the defense readiness of
the United States.
The Committee recognizes the cash flow emergency resulting
from the historic 1998 steel import surge, and directs the
Secretary of Commerce, as Chairman of the Board established
within the bill, to oversee the creation and administration of
a guaranteed loan program at fair market rates to provide
qualified U.S. steel producers access to a two-year,
$1,000,000,000 revolving loan guarantee fund. The Board created
by this amendment is directed to implement a steel loan
guarantee program that offers the maximum benefit to U.S. steel
companies and protection to the taxpayers.
TITLE II--SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATIONS
CHAPTER 1
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
counter-terrorism fund
TOPOFF exercise.--The Committee understands the need for
clarification of how the TOPOFF exercise should occur. In
addition to the language provided in previous committee
reports, contracting for this effort should be done with those
organizations who have a known track record with ITRAP
exercises. This actual exercise should be co-chaired and
administered without notice by the Office of Justice Programs
within the Department of Justice and the Response and Recovery
Division of FEMA. The FBI shall be a participant of this
exercise and not involved in its administration. Funding for
this effort should be provided from available funds within the
Counterterrorism fund. This new language should supercede any
other report language where a conflict is apparent.
National Domestic Preparedness Office.--The Committee has
reviewed the Department of Justice request for approval of the
National Domestic Preparedness Office (NDPO). The Committee
applauds the efforts of the unofficial Director of the NDPO.
The Committee approves the Office contingent on the following
changes to the ``Blueprint.'' The NDPO will consult with the
States in the development and implementation of the national
strategy for domestic preparedness; and the NDPO will build on
existing all-hazard emergency management system capabilities of
local, State, and Federal agencies and incorporate the standard
incident management system. The Committee directs the FBI to
request from Governors of each State and territory one point of
contact which would have direct contact with NDPO.
Acts of terrorism are fundamentally local events. Local law
enforcement and emergency first responders will be the first on
the scene of any terrorist event in this country. Therefore,
NDPO must not re-invent but, instead, build on existing
structures and capabilities. The Committee understands that the
primary duty of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) coordinators
in the FBI field offices is to investigate crime scenes. In
carrying out their additional responsibilities in the domestic
preparedness program, the Committee expects the WMD
coordinators to be trained in the incident command system and
to fully cooperate with local, State, and Federal officials
with whom they share the important responsibility of preparing
and responding to acts of terrorism.
The Committee also approves the NDPO reprogramming
contingent on the clear understanding that it's role is one of
setting standards and coordinating training assets throughout
the Federal Government. The role of the Office of Justice
Programs (OJP) should be to run all counter-terrorism training
for the Department of Justice except for previously established
programs. This training should be executed by the National
Domestic Preparedness Consortium (NDPC) whenever possible. The
Committee directs that if it is not possible for NDPC to be
used then the Assistant Attorney General for the Office of
Justice Programs shall report to the appropriate committees on
why this is the case and what measures are being taken to
rectify the situation. Within the Department of Justice, all
decisions by NDPO on training standards and coordination shall
be coordinated with the Assistant Attorney General for the
Office of Justice Programs before implementation.
Future funding of the NDPO will be contingent on the
Department ensuring the NDPO and FBI field offices fulfill the
requirements of this report language.
Immigration and Naturalization Service
salaries and expenses
enforcement and border affairs
1999 appropriation to date.............................. $1,069,754,000
1999 supplemental estimate.............................. 80,000,000
Committee recommendation................................ 80,000,000
The Administration is requesting $80,000,000 in increased
funding for detention, ostensibly to incarcerate Central
Americans displaced by Hurricane Mitch. In fact, the current
detention crisis is rooted in the failure of the Immigration
and Naturalization Service (INS) to adequately budget for the
mandatory detention of criminal and illegal aliens subject to
deportation required by the Illegal Immigration Reform and
Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996. INS had 2 years to
prepare, yet the Committee is now faced with a crisis similar
to the disaster in naturalization that occurred 6 months ago.
The Committee recommendation provides $80,000,000 for the
detention of criminal and illegal aliens. The Committee has
been informed that an additional $31,000,000 will have to be
reprogrammed into the detention account to fully fund bed space
needs in fiscal year 1999. The Committee also has been informed
that the shortfall in fiscal year 1999 detention funding is
matched by a shortfall in the fiscal year 2000 detention
request. The Committee looks forward to working with the
Justice Department to address this problem.
The Committee is concerned by the continuing failure of the
Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) to respond to
requests for information and resource allocation pertaining to
criminal and illegal alien detention as directed by the
Committee. The Committee urges the receipt of previously
requested reports on the following: (1) the feasibility of
locating a permanent INS detention center at Salt Lake City,
Utah and (2) the resources and training needed to address the
overall INS mission in Utah, with specific reference to
detention space and the number and distribution of agents
assigned to the State.
Federal Prison System
building and facilities
Within available fiscal year 1999 funds, not less than
$20,000,000 shall be provided for partial site and planning for
three facilities to house non-returnable criminal aliens being
transferred from the Immigration and Naturalization Service
(INS) as requested in the fiscal year 2000 request. This
funding should be provided from carryover balances in order to
accelerate this program. One of these facilities shall be
located in McDowell County, West Virginia. The non-returnable
criminal aliens come from countries which refuse to allow their
return. They are non-releasable by law or for reasons of public
safety. The severity of the offenses include burglary, larceny,
drug possession and sale, assault, and homicide. When the
Bureau of Prisons takes custody of these aliens, it will free
up bedspace that INS can use to house shorter term detainees
awaiting deportation.
It is the intent of the Committee that any site selected
for any of the three prisons would be required to meet the
established site-selection criteria required by the Bureau of
Prisons.
DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
OPERATIONS, RESEARCH, AND FACILITIES
1999 appropriation to date.............................. $1,579,844,000
1999 supplemental estimate.............................. 5,000,000
Committee recommendation................................ 1,880,000
The Committee recommends an appropriation of $1,880,000 to
support research, management and enforcement of new regulations
in the Northeast multi-species fishery. The Committee does not
recommend funding an additional supplemental request of
$3,120,000 due to funding constraints.
The Committee is aware of a $5,600,000 shortfall in funding
for the NOAA Corps retirement. These payments to retirees are
not classified as mandatory until fiscal year 2000. Therefore,
NOAA must provide $5,600,000 in payments to retirees. The
Committee directs the Secretary of Commerce to provide a
reprogramming not later than June 15, 1999, to address the
shortfall, of which $1,100,000 should be transferred from
NOAA's unobligated satellite balances. This funding had been
proposed as an offset for an earlier reprogramming that was
denied.
An additional recommendation of $2,000,000 is made for the
acquisition of shoreline data for nautical charts. Funding to
offset this data acquisition is partially provided by
rescinding funds from the Procurement, Acquisition and
Construction account and the Operations, Research, and
Facilities account for projects that are no longer an agency
priority.
THE JUDICIARY
Supreme Court of the United States
SALARIES AND EXPENSES
1999 appropriation to date.............................. $31,059,000
1999 supplemental estimate.............................. 921,000
Committee recommendation................................ 921,000
The Committee recommends $921,000 in fiscal year 1999 to
fund the hiring and equipping of 36 additional police officers
to staff the security posts established to improve security for
the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court is expected to provide to
the Committee in fiscal year 1999 a report detailing the
Court's security needs and related cost estimates for future
improvements.
CHAPTER 2
DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE--MILITARY
The Department of Defense has requested a total of
$188,500,000 within the jurisdiction of the Defense
subcommittee in new budget authority, to address the emergency
costs arising from the recent hurricanes in Central America.
The administration's request has designated $132,500,000 to
replenish operation and maintenance and military personnel
accounts used during the response effort, and $55,900,000 to
fund expanded U.S. National Guard and Reserve New Horizons
exercises. After consultation with the Department of Defense,
the Committee recommends the following appropriations:

Army National Guard
Based on the Army National Guard's review of full-time
manning requirements in support of ongoing deployments and
OPTEMPO, there is a shortfall in Military Technician pay
through fiscal year 1999. The Committee recommends $20,000,000
to the Army National Guard for this purpose. The Committee has
also included an additional $1,300,000 for further personnel
costs associated with the New Horizons Exercises.
GENERAL PROVISIONS, THIS CHAPTER
Sec. 301. The Committee includes a general provision to
clarify availability of funds included in the Fiscal Year 1999
Department of Defense Appropriations Act. The Department should
follow usual reprogramming procedures to implement this
program.
CHAPTER 3
DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
Bureau of Indian Affairs
Operation of Indian Programs
(transfer of funds)
The Committee recommends $1,136,000 for suppression of
western spruce budworm on the Yakama Indian Reservation, where
the budworm infestation has reached epidemic levels on 55,000
forested acres. Insecticide treatment during the summer months
of 1999 is critical to minimizing timber losses on Yakama lands
and on adjacent Forest Service and private lands.
Bureau of Land Management
Management of Lands and Resources
The Committee recommends $1,000,000 for the Bureau of Land
Management's Wyoming and Montana state offices to pay for
activities necessary to process Applications for Permits to
Drill (APD) in the Powder River Basin, and for other costs
associated with the APD approval process. This increased
workload was unanticipated in the fiscal year 1999 budget. The
use of the funds provided is limited by the bill language so
that conflicts between coal mining and gas drilling operations
will be minimized. The additional funds are derived from
unobligated balances in the Automated Land and Mineral Record
System program.
Office of the Special Trustee for American Indians
FEDERAL TRUST PROGRAMS
1999 appropriation to date.............................. $39,499,000
1999 supplemental estimate.............................. 6,800,000
Committee recommendation................................ 6,800,000
The Committee recommends an additional $6,800,000 to
support implementation of the Department's Trust Management
Improvement Project. The amount provided is equal to the
Administration's request. Funds would be used for the
acquisition and implementation of an off-the-shelf, contractor-
operated system to replace lease, natural resource, and land
records systems of the Bureau of Indian Affairs; a data clean-
up and backlog elimination effort; and improvements to the BIA
appraisal program.
DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
Forest Service
Wildland Fire Management
Bill language is included which transfers $100,000,000 in
unobligated balances from fire operations to the Knutson-
Vandenberg fund (``K-V fund''). The transfer will repay, in
part, the K-V fund for amounts previously borrowed for
emergency fire suppression activities. This action is necessary
because the Administration failed to release funds appropriated
in the Interior and Related Agencies Appropriations Act for
fiscal year 1997 (Public Law 104-208) for this purpose. The
Committees are concerned that failure to repay the K-V fund
could mean that important reforestation and other renewable
resource activities will be neglected in the future. The Forest
Service's fire suppression capability, however, will not be
jeopardized since it has $352,000,000 in emergency contingency
funds available and, in an emergency, may still draw against
the K-V fund.
CHAPTER 4
RELATED AGENCY
Corporation for Public Broadcasting
1999 appropriation to date.............................. $250,000,000
1999 supplemental estimate.............................. 11,000,000
2000 supplemental estimate.............................. 37,000,000
Committee recommendation................................ 18,000,000
The Committee recommends $18,000,000 in fiscal year 1999 to
support a contract for satellite services. The Committee
recognizes the need to provide resources for replacement
satellite services for the Public Radio Satellite System,
because of the unexpected failure of its satellite last year.
During the regular fiscal year 2000 appropriations process, the
Committee intends to provide the balance of resources required
to secure replacement satellite services. The President's
budget request was for a fiscal year 1999 supplemental of
$11,000,000 and a $37,000,000 fiscal year 2000 advance
appropriation.

Committee recommendation................................................
The Committee has included a technical correction requested
by the administration which would extend the time period for
the expenditure of funds for a new antifraud initiative from 1
year to 2 years. This will permit adequate time to implement
properly this new initiative.
INDEPENDENT AGENCIES
Court of Veterans Appeals
Salaries and Expenses
1999 appropriation to date.............................. $10,195,000
1999 supplemental estimate.............................. 372,000
Committee recommendation................................................
The Committee has not recommended supplemental
appropriations of $372,000 for the Court of Veterans Appeals.
The Committee understands there are funds available to
reprogram for additional staffing requirements and is willing
to consider expeditiously a reprogramming request.
National Aeronautics and Space Administration
SCIENCE, AERONAUTICS AND TECHNOLOGY
The Committee is aware that the recent and unforeseen
failure of the Hubble Space Telescope's (HST) third gyroscope
poses a real threat to the project's mission and scientific
utility until its next regularly scheduled servicing mission in
mid-to-late 2000. The Committee is also aware that virtually
all of HST's contingency has been redirected to other parts of
the space science budget to address cost problems in other
missions. For this reason, the Committee is sympathetic to the
need for an emergency servicing mission later this year, as
well as restoration of the Telescope's contingency reserves.
Moreover, because the Committee believes that the HST is
important to our understanding of the universe, NASA is
directed to provide the Committee with an assessment of the
operational status of the HST, including existing damage and
risk of additional damage. As part of this assessment, NASA is
directed to submit a workable response plan and schedule for
repairing the HST gyroscopes, including a proposed timetable
for a repair mission in this fiscal year or the next fiscal
year, as appropriate. For the costs of any repairs to the HST
during this fiscal year, NASA is directed to submit to the
Congress a review of all program reserves within this account
as well as an assessment of where funding can be reprogrammed
from within this account or another account without an adverse
impact on other activities. The Committee also requests an
assessment of the viability of scheduling a shuttle mission to
repair the HST, especially since a number of scheduled shuttle
missions may slip due to delays in the construction of the
International Space Station.
CHAPTER 7
DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
Animal Plant and Health Inspection Service
The Committee is aware of a recent approval of $5,200,000
available from the Commodity Credit Corporation for eradication
of the Asian Long-horned Beetle, of which $2,500,000 is set
aside for the Chicago, Illinois area. The Committee commends
the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service [APHIS] for its
prompt attention to the initial reports of infestation in
Chicago. The Committee directs APHIS to move as expeditiously
as possible to remove the infested trees in the Chicago,
Illinois area and to work with the City of Chicago and the
State of Illinois in their replanting efforts.

to clarify that the $2,200,000 appropriated in the 1999 VA,
HUD, and Independent Agencies Appropriations bill, as cited on

TITLE III--RESCISSIONS AND OFFSETS
CHAPTER 1
DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
Food and Nutrition Service
food stamp program
(rescission)
1999 appropriation to date.............................. $22,585,106,000
1999 rescission request.................................................
Committee recommendation................................ -285,000,000
The Committee recommends a rescission of $285,000,000 from
funds appropriated for the Food Stamp Program. Revised
estimates of program funding requirements indicate that these
funds will not be obligated and will expire at the end of the
fiscal year.
CHAPTER 2
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Office of Inspector General
(rescission)
1999 appropriation to date.............................. $35,610,000
1999 rescission request.................................................
Committee recommendation................................ -5,000,000
The Committee recommends a rescission of $5,000,000 from
funds previously appropriated for the Office of Inspector
General (OIG). These funds are available due to the denial of a
reprogramming in July 1998. The Committee notes the
Department's failure to comply with the reprogramming process
long used to address unfunded requirements. The Committee
expects the Department to bring the OIG budget in line with
funds appropriated in fiscal year 1999. The Committee will not
approve similar reprogramming requests in fiscal year 1999. The
Committee expects the Department to address future anti-
deficiencies by transferring OIG staff to Departmental offices
which are operating within their appropriations and have
available funding for such staff. The Committee directs the
Attorney General to report to the Committees on Appropriations
on what actions will be taken to rectify this matter. This
report should be provided not later than April 20, 1999.

Committee recommendation................................ -25,000,000
The Committee recommends a rescission of $25,000,000 from
funds previously appropriated for citizenship and benefits,
immigration support and program direction, which are available
due to changing priorities within the Immigration and
Naturalization Service.
For the remainder of fiscal year 1999, no funds shall be
rescinded from programs to reduce the outstanding backlog in
naturalization applications.
DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
Operations, Research and Facilities

1999 rescission request.................................................
Committee recommendation................................ -1,000,000
The Committee recommends a rescission of $1,000,000 from
funds previously appropriated for international broadcasting
operations, which are available due to the denial of a
reprogramming in January 1999.
CHAPTER 3
DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE--MILITARY
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

(RESCISSION)
1999 appropriation to date.............................. $11,417,000,000
1999 rescission request.................................................
Committee recommendation................................ -209,700,000
The Committee recommends a rescission of $209,700,000 from
funds previously appropriated to Operation and Maintenance,
Defense-Wide. During fiscal year 1999, cash balances in the
Defense Working Capital Fund are projected to increase due to
the lower than anticipated purchase cost of fuel, and are
available to offset this reduction.
CHAPTER 4

unobligated funds appropriated for the Global Environment
Facility.

unobligated balances appropriated for voluntary contributions
to international organizations and programs.
CHAPTER 5
DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
Bureau of Land Management
MANAGEMENT OF LANDS AND RESOURCES
(Rescission)
1999 appropriation to date.............................. $619,311,000
1999 rescission request................................. -6,800,000
Committee recommendation................................ -6,800,000
The bill rescinds $6,800,000 appropriated in prior years
for the Automated Lands and Minerals Records System (ALMRS)
that exceed current requirements.
CHAPTER 6
DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
Employment and Training Administration
STATE UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE AND EMPLOYMENT SERVICE OPERATIONS
1999 appropriation to date..............................\1\ $180,933,000
1999 supplemental estimate.............................. \1\ -5,700,000
Committee recommendation................................ \1\ -16,000,000
\1\ Amounts represents contingency funding only.
The Committee recommends a reduction of $16,000,000 in this
account, which is $10,300,000 more than the reduction requested
by the President. The reduction is taken in the unemployment
insurance contingency fund; the revised amount for the fund
would be $164,933,000. This fund is used to supplement the base
administrative allocation to the states. Based on the continued
low unemployment rates, the full amount of the contingency
appropriations is not needed to fund State administrative
workloads.
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Administration for Children and Families
Temporary Assistance for Needy Families
(Deferral)
The Committee has included a deferral of $350,000,000 in
Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) funds until
October 1, 2001. The TANF program provides fixed block grants
to the States totaling approximately $16,500,000,000 annually.
These block grants have been provided to the States since
fiscal year 1997 and will continue through fiscal year 2002.
The Committee understands that many States have unobligated
TANF balances that totaled $3,000,000,000 to $3,500,000,000 at
the end of fiscal year 1998. Bill language has been included to
ensure that the deferral of funds would come only from States
having unobligated balances.
DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
Education Research, Statistics, and Improvement
(rescission)
1999 appropriation to date.............................. $664,867,000
1999 rescission request.................................................
Committee recommendation................................ -8,000,000
The Committee recommends a rescission of $8,000,000 from
the Fund for the Improvement of Education within the Education
Research, Statistics and Improvement account. The Committee is
aware that only $2,000,000 of the $10,000,000 originally
appropriated to conduct an evaluation of voluntary national
test development is necessary in fiscal year 1999.
CHAPTER 7
DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
Base Realignment and Closure Account, Part IV
(Rescission)
1999 appropriation to date.............................. $1,203,738,000
1999 rescission request.................................................
Committee recommendation................................ -11,300,000
The Committee recommends a rescission of $11,300,000 from
funds previously appropriated from the Base Realignment and
Closure Account, Part IV.
CHAPTER 8
DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT
Community Planning and Development
Community Development Block Grants
(Rescission)
1999 appropriation to date..............................\1\ $250,000,000
1999 rescission request.................................................
Committee recommendation................................ -313,600,000
\1\ Amount represents emergency funding only.
The Committee recommends a rescission of $313,600,000 from
the emergency community development block grants (CDBG) fund
account which includes a rescission of carryover funding from
fiscal year 1998. Instead, the Committee is transferring the
responsibility for the emergency funding of unmet needs in
Presidentially-designated disaster areas to the Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The Committee remains
concerned over HUD's failure to respond to emergency disaster
needs in a prompt manner as well as its failure to establish
appropriate requirements and criteria, including procedures to
ensure accountability, for the award of these emergency CDBG
disaster funds as required by law. The failure of HUD to
establish these program requirements and criteria has been a
continuing problem throughout the history of emergency CDBG
funding. The Committee believes that FEMA is in a far better
position to award disaster funds both quickly and
appropriately.
INDEPENDENT AGENCY
Environmental Protection Agency
Science and Technology
(rescission)
1999 appropriation to date.............................. $109,450,000
1999 rescission request.................................................
Committee recommendation................................ -10,000,000
The Committee recommends a rescission of $10,000,000 from
the Climate Change Technology Initiative. These funds were
provided in the fiscal year 1999 Omnibus Appropriations bill
(Public Law 104-277), in addition to $99,450,000 provided in
the fiscal year 1999 VA, HUD, and Independent Agencies
Appropriations bill (Public Law 104-276) for this initiative.
The amount remaining for this program for fiscal year 1999
represents an increase of $10,020,000 above the prior year
level, which is consistent with the recommendations made by the
Conference Committee on the fiscal year 1999 VA, HUD, and
Independent Agencies Appropriations bill.
GENERAL PROVISIONS, THIS TITLE
Sec. 3001. The Committee recommends the repeal of chapter
1, title V of Division B of Public Law 105-277.
Sec. 3002. The Committee recommends a rescission of
$343,000,000 from funds appropriated with an emergency
designation in division B of Public Law 105-277, other than
those appropriated to the Department of Defense--Military. This
represents a reduction of 5 percent of the non-DOD funds
contained in division B. Within 30 days of the enactment of
this bill the Director of OMB shall submit to the Committees on
Appropriations a listing of the amounts by account of the
reductions made pursuant to this section.
Sec. 3003. The Committee recommends a rescission of
$100,000,000 from funds appropriated for fiscal year 1999 for
the nondefense discretionary category from savings resulting
from revised economic assumptions from inflation adjusted
accounts. Within 30 days of the enactment of this bill the
Director of OMB shall submit to the Committees on
Appropriations a listing of the amounts by account of the
reductions made pursuant to this section.
Sec. 3004. Requires the HUD Inspector General and GAO to
conduct an audit of HUD to assess the extent the Department has
been in compliance with the HUD Reform Act of 1989 over the
last two years. The IG and GAO are required to issue a
preliminary report to the Congress on this assessment within 6
months and a final report within 12 months.
TITLE IV--TECHNICAL CORRECTIONS
Sec. 4001. (a) Corrects statutory citations; (b) clarifies
that the provision is permanent law; (c) corrects a section
reference; and (d) corrects a Public Law citation.
Sec. 4002. Corrects typographical errors.
Sec. 4003. Changes due dates for GAO reports.
Sec. 4004. Amends Fiscal Year 1999 Interior and Related
Agencies Appropriations Act to make technical corrections to
certain U.S. Code references, public law citations, and dollar
amounts.
Sec. 4005. The bill contains technical corrections for the
Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services and Education,
and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 1999. Clarifying
language is included in the following areas: the Federal
Unemployment Benefits and Allowances account within the
Department of Labor; General Department Management, Children
and Families Services Programs, and the Public Health and
Social Services Emergency Fund within the Department of Health
and Human Services; Special Education, Education Reform,
Vocational and Adult Education, Higher Education, Education
Research, Statistics, and Improvement, and Reading Excellence
within the Department of Education. A technical correction is
also made within Title V of the Act, and Title VIII is also
amended to clarify language under the Stewart B. McKinney
Homeless Assistance Act.
Sec. 4006. Corrects typographical error.
Sec. 4007. Makes technical correction to the Legislative
Branch Appropriations Act, 1999.
Sec. 4008. Amends Division B, Title I, Chapter 3 of the
Omnibus Consolidated and Emergency Supplemental Appropriation
Act, 1999, to include Hurricane Georges.
Sec. 4009. The bill contains technical corrections for the
Department of Transportation, Federal Transit Administration
capital investment grants, clarifying the scope of certain bus
and bus facilities projects.
Sec. 4010. The bill contains technical corrections for the
Department of Transportation Federal-Aid Highways Ferry Boat
and Ferry Terminal Facility Program, increasing the obligation
limitation from $38,000,000 to $59,280,000, to reflect the sum
of both fiscal years' 1998 and 1999 program funding levels.
This is necessary because the Federal Highway Administration
solicited applications for this program in June 1998, and
planned to consolidate both years' funding together when the
agency released the discretionary ferry grants. There is no
scoring impact associated with this obligation limitation
increase.
Secs. 4011 and 4014. To correct citation errors in the
conference report.
Sec. 4012. The Committee has included a provision amending
section 113 of the Fiscal Year 1999 Commerce, Justice, and
State, the Judiciary, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act
to include corporations established pursuant to the Alaska
Native Claims Settlement Act which provide social services to
Alaska Natives.
Sec. 4013. Would incorporate provisions relating to the
administrative costs and oversight of the Denali Commission and
would clarify the compensation of the Federal cochairperson of
the Denali Commission.
