HIGHLIGHTS OF BILL
SUMMARY OF ESTIMATES AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Committee recommendations.-A total of $922,491,800 in new budget
(obligational) authority is recommended for fiscal year 1979. The rec-
ommendation is $25,657,700 less than was requested. The appropria-
tions recommended for 1979 are $94,922,700 more than the total
enacted to date for 1978.
Budget estimates.-The budget estimates considered by the Com-
mittee total $948,149,500. Budget requests for the Legislative Branch,
by law, are transmitted to the Congress by the Office of Management
and Budget and the President without change in the amounts sub-
mitted by the originating agency. The 19.79 proposals appear on pages
14 through 49 of the appendix to the 1979 Federal Budget as amended
by later transmittals contained in House Documents numbered 95-331
and 95- , and Senate Document numbered 95-
Comparison with budget estimates.-The recommended reduction of
$25,657,700 in the total requests for 1979 considered by the Committee
reflects the general policy of the Committee to maintain activities of
the various agencies, where feasible, at the current level while allowing
only essential increases in program levels. In maintaining the current
level, the Committee has allowed the increased costs of pay raises and
the effects of inflation. The additional staffing requested by Congres-
sional Research Service, the balance of the Library of Congress other
than CRS, the General Accounting Office, and the Architect of the
Capitol have been partially allowed. Downward adjustments have
been made in the increases requested by all agencies except Govern-
ment Printing Office, Botanic Garden, and Cost Accounting Standards
Board. Certain improvement projects proposed by the Architect of
the Capitol were omitted. Certain reductions were made from the
requests for staffing and furnishing for the James Madison Memorial
Library building because of the delay in occupancy of that building.
Comparison with fiscal year 1978 appropriations.-Appropriations for
fiscal year 1978, enacted to date, for the agencies in the 1979 bill total
$827,569,100. The recommended amount for 1979 is $94,922,700 above
the 1978 level. An increasing workload, the requirements of legislation,
and equipment, alterations, and repairs to buildings results in a net
increase of $39,781,206, or 41.9 percent of the total. The remainder of
the increase is required to continue operations at the current level and
includes $39,946,674, or 42.1 percent, for pay raises and related costs,
and $15,194,820, or 16 percent of the total, to meet increased costs
attributable to inflation.
A summary of the major increases and decreases recommended, by
general category, follows:

STRUCTURE OF THE BILL
TITLE I-CONGRESSIONAL OPERATIONS
The bill has been divided into three titles. Title I-congressional
operations contains the appropriations for the actual operation of
the Congress including the House (Senate items will be added by that
body), joint items, the Office of Technology Assessment, the Con-
gressional Budget Office, and the Architect of the Capitol (except
Senate and Library of Congress items). The Congressional Research
Service and Congressional printing and binding items have been
lifted from the budgets of the Library of Congress and the Govern-
ment Printing Office respectively as they directly support the work
of the Congress.
TITLE 11-RELATED AGENCIES
Title II-related agencies contains the budget for several activities
which do not provide primary support to the Congress. For instance,
most of the activities of the Library of Congress, except Congressional
Research Service, are carried in this title. This includes such Library
activities as the program to provide books for the blind and physically
handicapped, the operation of the Copyright Office, and Library
services to the public and to the Government of the United States.
As was noted earlier, congressional printing and binding appropri-
ations of the Government Printing Office are contained in title I.
The remaining activities of GPO finances general governmental
functions such as the printing and binding of the United States Code
and its supplements and various Federal Register program publica-
tions and selling to the general public at the direction of the Congress.
Although about one-third of the workload of the General Account-
ing Office is in direct support of the Congress, including work mandated
by statute or requested by committees and Members of Congress,
the majority of that agency's activities is self-initiated (as opposed
to Congressional directed work) and is directed toward the improve-
ment of the operation of the Federal Government in the areas of
review and evaluation of programs, as well as accounting and financial
management improvements. It is, therefore, carried in. Title II of
the bill.
The Botanic Garden, Copyright Royalty Tribunal, and Cost-
Accounting Standards Board round out the agencies included in Title II.
TITLE III-GENERAL PROVISIONS
Title III contains the general provisions applicable to the entire
bill.
TITLE I-CONGRESSIONAL OPERATIONS
The Committee recommends a total of $546,143,500 for fiscal year
1979 for those activities in direct support of the operation of the
Congress (exclusive of the Senate) which is an increase of $55,246,600
over fiscal year 1978 appropriations enacted to date. Budget estimates
considered by the Committee totaled $551,652,700 which have been
reduced $5,509,200.

Compensation of Members.-The bill provides the sum of $27,699,300
for the compensation of Members during fiscal year 1979. This
amount includes the duly authorized salaries of Members plus con-
tributions for retirement, life insurance, and health insurance.
Mileage of Members.-The usual appropriation of $210,000 is
recommended for this item which covers a Member's travel expenses of
one round trip per session between his or her home and Washington,
D.C., as authorized by law. Additional transportation expenses are
funded under the heading "Contingent expenses of the House, allow-
ances and expenses."

HOUSE LEADERSHIP OFFICES
The Committee recommends a total of $2,147,100 for the operation
of the leadership offices during fiscal year 1979. The allocation of
the recommendations by office follows:

SALARIES, OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES
The Committee recommendation for the salaries of the House
officers and employegs of the various activities funded through this
consolidated approprMtion~totals $26,407,700. This is $33,500 less than
the amount requested, as amended by H. Doc. 95- .
The recommendation reflects a denial of $33,500 for the salaries of
two printing clerks, one each appointed by the majority and minority
leaders. These positions, established in the 78th Congress, provide
printing and related services for Members of the House of Representa-
tives in addition to their duties of providing identical services to the
majority and minority leadership of the House. The portion of these
businesses directed toward the membership as a whole is operated on a
for-profit basis. Consequently, the clerks, receive salaries from their
business income and earn annual profits in addition to the salaries
paid by appropriated funds. According to recent General Accounting
Office audits, business income salary and profits for the majority and
minority printing clerks in fiscal year 1976 were $102,410 and $120,995,
respectively. In addition, each clerk has an expense account and is
beneficiary to a substantial cash-value insurance policy paid for out
of business revenues. The Committee believes, therefore, that pay-
ment of the printing clerk's salaries out of appropriated funds is
unnecessary and recommends denial of those funds.

The bill provides $24,705,000 for.salaries of professional and clerical
employees of the 22 standing committees of the House. Funding for
additional resources for the committees that have been authorized
by House resolutions, adopted by the House, is carried under the
heading "Contingent expenses of the House, special and select
committees".
(STUDIES AND INVESTIGATIONS)
An appropriation in the amount of $2,895,000 is recommended.
These allowances are based on current projections of studies and
investigations that will be undertaken during the ensuing fiscal year.

COMMITTEE ON THE BUDGET
(STUDIES)
The bill provides $261,000 for the coming fiscal year, as requested.
OFFICE OF THE LAW REVISION COUNSEL
The Committee recommends the sum of $435,000, as requested by
the Law Revision Counsel, for the ongoing work of codifying new laws
and updating the United States Code.
OFFICE OF THE LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL
The Committee has approved the requested appropriation of
$1,879,000 for the operation of the Office during the next fiscal year.
The increase of $197,000 over the 1978 allotment is basically attrib-
utable to pay comparability increases, promotions, and contingencies.
MEMBERS' CLERK HIRE
A total of $112,648,300 is recommended for the salaries of staff in
the offices of Members, Delegates, and the Resident Commissioner
from Puerto Rico during fiscal year 1979. The clerk hire allowance
per Member is currently $273,132. Since all Members neither use all
the positions to which they are entitled, nor the gross amounts of
salary provided, the total maximum funds that could be expended are
not requested or appropriated. If every Member used 100 percent of
the allowance, the total for clerk hire would be $119,904,948.
CONTINGENT EXPENSES OF THE HOUSE
The Committee recommends a total of $106,729,000 for fiscal year
1979 for the two appropriations under this heading. The allowance is
primarily to cover the allowances and expenses of the members as
stipulated by public laws, House resolutions and regulations. Also
included are the costs of funding resolutions recently adopted by the
House for the expenses of investigations by standing committees, and
the expenses of special and select committees during the 2nd session
of the 95th Congress as they apply to the remainder of the current
fiscal year.
The allocation of the two appropriation accounts is as follows:
Contingent Expenses of the House

Special and select committees------------------------------- 46, 762, 000

1Includes $2;853,500 for Members' stationery allowances. Previously this item was in
eluded under Stationery Revolving Fund.

It should be noted that there is no "contingent fund of the House"
per se. The expenditures of funds from the contingent fund as author-
ized by House resolutions adopted by the House are made from the
appropriated items listed above and if sufficient funds are not available
in the two accounts, supplemental appropriations are requested to
replenish the account which has been exhausted by unforeseen author-
izations not contemplated when the budget was originally formulated.
The Committee on House Administration under the rules of the
House has jurisdiction over "(1) Appropriations from the contingent
fund." All of the components of the various appropriations recom-
mended in this bill under the heading "Contingent expenses of the
House" have been approved by that committee and the House itself
through the adoption of House resolutions. These House resolutions
normally provide for immediate disbursement of funds from the con-
tingent fund prior to the appropriation of moneys through the normal
appropriation process.
Allowances and expenses.-A total of $59,967,000 is recommended
for fiscal year 1979, as requested, in accordance with approved authori-
zation resolutions, laws, and House regulations. The net increase of
$2,782,000 over the 1978 level is primarily due to the addition of
$2,853,500 for the Members' stationery previously funded separately.
Under their authority contained in 2 U.S.C. 57, the Committee on
House Administration adopted a number of modifications to Mem-
bers' official allowances which became effective on January 3, 1978.
These modifications consolidate under "Official Expenses of Memb ers"
the following component accounts previously separately earmarked:
Computer and Related Services for Members, Constituent Communi-
cation Expenses, Equipment (purchase, lease and maintenance),
Official Expenses, Postage Stamps for Members, Rental of District
Office Space, Transportation of Members and staff, Telegraph and
Telephone, and Stationery Allowance. Moreover, a new component
account has been added, "Supplies, Materials and Administrative
Costs", for appropriate non-member associated items for use by Com-
mittees, Leadership offices, House officers and other House offices.
The Committee is concerned that with the rapid proliferation of
computer operations in staff and Member offices the potential for
improper use of data developed during routine Congressional business
may be possible. A recent Congressional Research Study concerning
this possibility highlights a number of areas which should be fully
examined prior to the advent of full scale computer operations in the
House. A specific area of concern is the potential misuse of stored.
nam es and addresses which might be subsequently loaned, sold
or o therwise conveyed to unauthorized persons, committees, or organ-
zati ons. While the Committee feels that any action in the FY 1979
ap propriation bill would be premature, it does recommend that the
Committee on House Administration review the situation with a view
toward corrective action if deemed appropriate. It should be noted
that, effective June 1, 1978, the Committee on House Administration
has issued a regulation to control the use of mailing lists for unau-
thorized purposes.
The following table sets forth the various expenses within this con-
solidated appropriation in comparative form to its structure in 1978:

Special and Select Committees.-The Committee recommends a total
of $46,762,000 for fiscal year 1979 to finance the funding resolutions
adopted by the House for the 2nd Session of the 95th Congress for the
various special and select committees as well as the investigative ex-
penses and staffs of the standing committees. These resolutions, which
cover a session rather than a fiscal year, are recommended by the
Committee on House Administration and become effective immedi-
ately upon approval by the House. The amount requested originally
in the Federal Budget has been increased by $8,000,000 due to the
size of the funding resolutions.

for fiscal year 1979 for the various joint committees and activities
carried under this heading.

CONTINGENT EXPENSES OF THE SENATE
Joint Economic Committee.-The sum of $2,353,000 is recommended
for fiscal year 1979, which is an increase of $655,900 over current.
year appropriations enacted to date. Of the amount recommended,
$1,800,000 is for the recurring activities of the Joint Committee and,
with the amount necessary for supplemental funding to pay for the
October, 1977 cost-of-living pay raise, represents no increase over the
1978 level. The balance of the recommended amount, $553,000, as re-
quested in H. Doe. 95-331, represents funds of a temporary nature
necessary to conduct a special study on economic change as required
by H. Con. Res. 248 agreed to on July 18, 1977. The bill contains
language that will extend the availability of funds for the study
through December 31,1980.
Joint Committee 'on Printing.-An appropriation of $656,000 is
recommended for fiscal year 1979. This is the amount requested in
the January budget as amended by H. Doe. 95-331. The recom-
mendation is $425,000 less than enacted to date in FY 78 due primarily
to the fact that a one-time funding of a comprehensive review of
Government Printing Office operations has not been repeated.
CONTINGENT EXPENSES OF THE HOUSE
Joint Committee on Taxation.-The Committee has approved the
appropriation of $2,375,200 requested for fiscal year 1979. This was
the amount requested in the January budget, as amended by H.
Doc. 95- . The increase of $427,100 over the current level of
appropriations enacted to date is primarily to cover the cost of addi-
tional staff and increased computer costs justified as necessary to
provide the services required by the tax legislation committees of
both bodies of the Congress, as well as costs associated with the October
1977 pay raise.

OFFICE OF THE ATTENDING PHYSICIAN
The Committee has approved the request of $465,000 for medical
supplies, equipment, expenses, and allowances of Navy personnel
detailed to the Office of the Attending Physician. Included in the
recommendation is $253,475 to reimburse the Department of the
Navy for expenses incurred for staff and equipment assigned to the
Office.
The Committee notes that certain special allowances beyond normal
military pay and other duly authorized benefits are paid to the
attending physician and to medical officers and assistants. While the
Committee has no intention of denying these allowances to the current
incumbents of these positions, it is directed that any new employees
who replace them on or after the date of enactment of this act no
longer be entitled to this extra pay.
CAPITOL POLICE
Based on recommendations in the bill and the budget estimates to
be considered by the Senate for police personnel on their rolls, a total
of $23,095,492 and 1,186 positions will be available for pclice services
throughout the Capitol buildings and grounds during the next fiscal
year. Financing of these services is carried in a number of separate
accounts. The House roll is paid from the appropriation "Salaries,
officers and employees, Office of the Sergeant at Arms", including
overtime. The appropriation for the Senate roll, including overtime,
is made to the Sergeant at Arms and Doorkeeper of the Senate. General
operating expenses of the force are financed through a separate joint
item appropriation- A total of 34 police officers will be detailed to the
Congress during 1979 on a reimbursable basis from the District of
Columbia Metropolitan Police Department. Funds for the cost of this
reimbursement are provided under the heading "Capitol Police Board"
within the category of Joint Items.
The Committee.notes the improvement in the quality and profes-
sionalism of the Capitol police in recent years and commends those
responsible. Obviously the force will improve even more so in future
years and, in added recognition of the competence of the personnel,
the Committee recommends that promotions to higher rank come
from within the ranks of the force rather than from outside sources.
The following shows the number of positions and costs of all police
services to the Capitol buildings and grounds recommended during
fiscal year 1979:

General expenses.-The sum of $750,100 is recommended for supplies,
materials, equipment, training and other expenses of the Capitol
Police Force during the next fiscal year. This allowance is $25,300
above the current level and covers additional costs in the areas of
investigations and training.
Capitol Police Board.-The Committee recommends $1,421,000 to
reimburse the Metropolitan Police Department for the salary and
related overhead costs of 34 police officers detailed to the Capitol
Police force during fiscal year 1979. The bill includes the customary
language relating to the rank and salary of Metropolitan Police officers
detailed to the Capitol force, which has been updated as requested by
the Chief of Police and the Capitol Police Board.
This amount is a reduction of $46,800 from the budget request and
reflects the retirement of two of these officers as disclosed during
testimony before the Committee given by Chief of Police Powell.
EDUCATION OF PAGES
The Committee recommends approval of the request of $205,800
for reimbursement to the District of Columbia Board of Education
for the salaries and expenses of the Capitol Page School. The increase
of $12,100 over the amount provided for the current year covers
within-grade and other salary costs.
The Committee continues to be concerned with the quality and
condition of the program at the Capitol Page school. Accordingly, the
Committee requests that the Comptroller General initiate a review of
the Capitol Page School to determine whether educational and other
services are being provided consistent with the existing contract be-
tween the Congress and the Board of Education of the District of
Columbia and consistent with the appropriations made as reimburse-
ment to the Board of Education. The Committee also requests that
the Comptroller General identify what deficiencies, if any, exist in the
supplies, facilities, administration, and course of study at the Capitol
Page School as compared to what is generally considered appropriate
and necessary for a high quality program of secondary education.
OFFICIAL MAIL COSTS
A total of $64,944,000 is recommended for payment to the U.S.
Postal Service for franked mail projected to be sent out by the entire
Congress during fiscal year 1979. Inasmuch as only estimates can be
made as to the volume of outgoing mail, the usual language has been
included in the bill making the appropriation immediately available
on enactment into law so that payments can be made from 1979 funds
for any shortages in 1978 funds that may occur.
CAPITOL GUIDE SERVICE
The Committee recommends approval of the request of $544,000
requested for the operation of the Guide Service during the next
fiscal year. This allowance is $140,300 above the current year
appropriation.

Language has been included in the bill authorizing the Capitol
Guide Board to hire two employees to fill temporary vacancies for a
period of not to exceed one hundred twenty days. This authority
was requested by the Board to insure a full complement of guides
during such times as permanent members of the service are on leaves
of absence for illness or other reasons. Language has also been included
to allow the Board to employ up to 10 additional individuals for not

more than six months each. These temporary
to handle the expected increase in tourists visiting the Capitol during
the summer months and other times during the year.
STATEMENTS OF APPROPRIATIONS
The sum of $13,000 is included in the bill for the preparation of
the usual compilation of the statements of appropriations for the
second session of the 95th Congress. This volume is compiled jointly
by the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations.
OFFICE OF TECHNOLOGY ASSESSMENT
SALARIES AND EXPENSES
The Committee recommends the appropriation of $9,700,000 for
fiscal year 1979. The recommended appropriation for 1979 is $300,000
less than requested. The Committee has provided funds for all the
projects requested by OTA, but has funded the six new projects
projected for fiscal year 1979 at last year's level.
The bill includes language limiting employment during fiscal
year 1979 to 130 staff employees, except that any reduction in total
employment shall be accomplished by attrition and provides further
that this limitation shall not prevent the position of Director from
being filled should it become vacant. A continuation of the language
in the fiscal year 1978 appropriations bill authorizing the leasing
space in the District of Columbia is also recommended. The re-
quested language to continue the availability of fiscal year 1978
unobligated balances has been denied.
CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE
SALARIES AND EXPENSES
The Committee recommends approval of an $11,172,000 appro-
priation for the operations of the Congressional Budget Office at
substantially the same level in fiscal year 1979 as during the current
year. This reflects a decrease of $196,000 from the budget request.
During the appropriation hearings, the large number of self-initiated
reports contained in CBO's Annual Report was discussed. The
Committee suggests that the reduction be applied to that area and
has no intention of reducing activities that are mandated by law or
those which are necessary to respond to requests from Members
and Committees of Congress. The language limiting personnel to
208 positions is continued.

ARCHITECT OF THE CAPITOL
(CONGRESSIONAL SUPPORT ITEMS ONLY)
The Committee recommends 'a total of $46,014,000 for fiscal year
1979 for the various operational and maintenance activities under the
jurisdiction of the Architect of the Capitol that are directly related
to the operation of the Congress. Excepted are the Senate house-
keeping items which are traditionally left for consideration by that
body, as well as the appropriations for the structural and mechanical
care of the Library of Congress buildings and grounds which are
located in title II of the bill. The overall allowance is $4,106,900
below the amounts requested, and $5,961,800 above the 1978 appro-
priations enacted to date.
A summary of the appropriations recommended follows:

office in the coming year. The Committee has approved 11 of the 18
new positions requested, including six electronic technicians needed

for the shuttle service.
House Office buildings.-As requested, the sum of $21,065,000 is
recommended for the operation of the three House office buildings and
two annexes during the next fiscal year. This allowance is a net

$1,318,000 over the 1978 level and includes $1,985,900 additional for
the purchase of gas and electrical energy for the legislative group of

Annex No. 2. The sum of $780,000 is provided for certain nonrecurring
repairs and the replacement and installation of equipment, including
the replacement of underground steam lines serving the Capitol
Building from the South Capitol Street main line.
The Committee has approved language to allow reimbursements for
chilled water and steam provided to the Supreme Court, Folger Li-
brary, City Post Office, and Government Printing Office to be credited
to this appropriation. Also, language has been included to allow funds
previously appropriated for the expansion of the Capitol Power Plant
to be used for furniture and furnishings for that facility.
LIBRARY OF CONGRESS
CONGRESSIONAL RESEARCH SERVICE
Salaries and expenses.-The Congressional Research Service's
activities are solely in support of the Congress and accordingly the
appropriations for the Service have been transferred from the Library
op
Congress budget and placed in title I of the bill. The Committee
recommends an appropriation of $25,553,000 for fiscal year 1979,
which is an increase of $3,758,000 over 1978 appropriations enacted to
date. The request for 1979 totaled $26,379,000 which has been reduced
$826,000. Funding for mandatory and inflationary increases to main-
tain services at the current level have been allowed. Thirty-two of the
49 additional positions requested have been allowed. Modest increases
over the current level in travel (+$10,000) and attendance at meet-

LIBRARY OF CONGRESS
(EXCEPT CONGRESSIONAL RESEARCH SERVICE)
The Committee recommends appropriations totaling $149,093,300
for the operation of the Library of Congress (except the Congressional
Research Service which is carried in title I of the bill) for the next
fiscal year. This allowance is $20,139,700 above the 1978 appropri-
ations enacted to date and in general will allow a continuation of
activities at the current level plus certain increases for growing
workload purposes. The budget estimates totaled $167,006,500. The
Committee recommendation is $17,913,200 below that amount.

ments for services performed and working fund advances and alloca-
tions. A total of $201,475,726 from all sources will be available to the

PORTION OF BUDGET IN SUPPORT OF THE CONGRESS
The Library of Congress is not a library solely for the Congress. It
is a national library with many general governmental and public
services functions. Of the $149,093,300 recommended for 1979, only
27.1 percent or $40,404,000 is for support to the Congress. Several of
the agencies are entirely general government or public service oper-
ations entirely apart from the Legislative Branch, such as the American
Folklife Center, the Copyright Office, the program of supplying books
for the blind and physically handicapped, and the special foreign
currency program of collection and distribution of library materials.
The other programs either directly or indirectly provide varying per-
centages of support to the Congress.
SALARIES AND EXPENSES
The sum of $92,249,000 is recommended for salaries and expenses
which is the basic appropriation for the operation of the Library
distribution program. The budget proposed a total of $102,058,000
and 3,584 positions. The Committee has reduced this request by
$9,809,000 and recommends a total of 3,186 positions. The allowance
is $10,954,000 above total 1978 appropriations and reflects approval
of the increased costs attributable to inflation, increased pay costs,
and mandatory increases. Certain other increases for growing work-
load have been allowed.
The Committee has earmarked $345,275 for the purchase of books
for the Law Library. The Committee has allowed 11 of the 34 new
positions requested for research and reader services including nine
previously funded by the National Endowment for the Arts and two
for the Law Library. Three of the 56 positions requested for automated
systems support are allowed. These three are being transferred from
the Copyright Office. All growing workload increases for automated
systems are denied.
The Library desires to experiment with a nationwide computer
network connecting libraries and the Library of Congress data base.
The Committee believes that such a network will lead to unmanage-
able problems between the priorities accorded to serving Congressional
users and remote library users. Inevitably, this will lead to the per-
ceived need for more and more computing power and related items.
The Library should take steps now to preclude such growth in internal
workloads and instead exploit the use of outside agencies such as the
Ohio College Library Center for making distribution of Library of
Congress-supplied bibliographic materials through computer media.
No new positions are allowed for preservation of library materials
and all growing workload increases are denied except $127,820 for
supplies for the preservation of deteriorating motion pictures. Six of
the 24 positions requested for central support are allowed including
two each for Copyright Office personnel transfers, management policy,
and the exhibits program. All growing workload requests for central
support are denied except $3,780 for other services, $15,000 for
printing, $5,000 for other services,. $18,000 for consultants, $3,000
for storage of household effects, $2,713 for office supplies, and $50,000
for exhibit supplies. One of the three positions requested for the
American Folklife Center is allowed, plus $100,000 of the $276,900

requested for consultants. Seven of the 13 positions. requested for
American Television and Radio Archives are allowed and $275,-
375 is allowed for non-personal services. For Madison Building
related expenses, the Library requested 293 positions and $3,366,-
500. Due to the fact that it now appears the new building will not
be ready for occupancy until late 1979 or early 1980, the Committee
denies the positions and allows only $268,664 for packing and crating
in the research department in advance of the move.
The Committee has denied the request to use the excess over
$6,500,000 collected in receipts from the sale of catalog cards in the
following fiscal year.
COPYRIGHT OFFICE
Salaries and expenses.-The appropriation of $8,560,500 is recom-
mended for the Copyright Office during fiscal year 1979, which is a
net increase of $615,000 over 1978 appropriations including 44 (net)
new positions requested to continue implementation of the new copy-
right law that went into effect for the most part on January 1, 1978.
The Committee has denied the request to use receipts from copy-
right fees in excess of $4,100,000 during the following fiscal year.
BOOKS FOR THE BLIND AND PHYSICALLY HANDICAPPED
Salaries and expenses.-A total of $36,729,700 is recommended for
this public service program in fiscal year 1979 which is $6,343,000 less
than requested. This allowance is $8,009,000 above the current year
-availability and provides-for a continuation of operations at the 1978
level, allowing the increases requested for inflation, salary increases
and other mandatory costs except for a reduction from $592,500 to
$300,000 in the request to maintain the current level of services in
publication contracts. Two of the seven additional requested posi-
tions have been allowed.
The Committee has allowed increases for expansion of services as
follows: (1) $400 for attendance at meetings, (2) $138,000 for multi-
state centers, (3) $224,500 for research and development, (4) $13,600
for books, (5) $1,200,000 for sound reproductions, (6) $2,912,000 for
replacement of machines, and (7) $24,000 for music books.
COLLECTION AND DISTRIBUTION OF LIBRARY MATERIALS
(SPECIAL FOREIGN CURRENCY PROGRAM)
The Committee recommends approval of the request of $3,860,100
for fiscal year 1979, of which $3,603,500 is for payments in Treasury-
owned foreign currencies. This allowance represents an increase of
$418,900 over current year funding. The program for 1979 will be
operating through offices in Egypt, India (including neighboring
countries), and Pakistan.
The bill provides a total of $7,694,000 for Library furniture and
furnishings for fiscal year 1979. This amount is composed of $1,340,000
for regular items and $6,354,000 for another increment of the initial
outfitting of the James Madison Memorial Library Building. The

reductions recommended throughout the Library's budget. An
increase of $1,259,179 was requested for this category which has been
reduced to $1,122,979. The budget proposed a total of $7,750,000 for
furnishings and equipment for the Madison Building. The Committee
recommends the sum of $6,125,000, a reduction of $1,625,000 because
of the delay in the completion of the building currently estimated to
be occupied late in calendar year 1979 or early 1980.
ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS
Expenses of attendance at meetings.-Section 205 of the bill limits
the amount that may be expended for the expenses of attendance at
meetings. The limitation for 1978 is set at $99,600 which the Librarian
requested be increased to $173,300 to cover increased per diem and air
fare rates, including $65,500 to allow Library staff to attend more
professional meetings. The Committee has approved a total increase of
$16,900 which will provide a total of $116,500 of which $37,000 is for
the Congressional Research Service.
ARCHITECT OF THE CAPITOL
LIBRARY BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS
Structural and mechanical care.-The sum of $2,776,000 is recom-
mended for the maintenance and operation of the main library and
annex buildings during fiscal year 1979. This allowance is $606,900
over the 1978 appropriation which included several nonrecurring
projects. The recommendation is $18,700 below the amount requested
due to the deferral of requests.for cleaning and refinishing the bronze
entrance doors to the main library and annex buildings.
The Committee approves the 22 positions requested for the James
Madison Memorial Building technical workload. These positions are
funded for 4 months in fiscal year 1979 and will be necessary to be filled
in advance of occupancy of the building for training purposes and so
that these technicians can become acclimated to the electronic and
other engineering components of the new building.
COPYRIGHT ROYALTY TRIBUNAL
SALARIES AND EXPENSES
The Committee recommends $805,000 for the operation of this
agency which was created as part of the Copyright Revision Act of
1976. The Tribunal is an independent body in the legislative branch,
but is entirely a public service organization dealing with copyright
royalty rates relating primarily to public performance of certain copy-
righted works on jukeboxes, noncommerical broadcasting and cable
television. The amount recommended is a reduction of $130,000 from
the request. Appropriations totaling $726,000 were provided for fiscal
year 1978. The reduction includes denial of the additional position
requested. Administrative support for the Tribunal is to be provided
by the Library of Congress on a reimbursable or advance payment
basis as provided in the basic legislation.

GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFIC1
(EXCEPT CONGRESSIONAL PRINTING AND BINDING)
As requested, the Committee recommends a total of $34,676,000 for
the non-congressional support activities of the Government Printing
Office during the ensuing fiscal year, which is a decrease of $27,500
under current year appropriations. The budget request also excludes
a request of $18,000,000 for site and plans for a new printing plant
which again has been deferred pending authorization.
The distribution between the two appropriation accounts follows:

As requested, a total of $11,476,000 is recommended for printing

fiscal year 1979, which is $1,476,500 below current year funding.
The cost of the Congressional Record program will be $1,545,700 less
than in the current fiscal year, reflecting the probability that the
length of the second session of the 95th Congress will be shorter than
the first session.
The following tabulation summarizes the various categories of
printing and the estimated amounts for each in comparative form. It
should be noted that the various categories relating to the Congress
are only for copies that are printed for distribution in the Executive
branch agencies and to the general public. Printing and binding for
the Congress itself is carried in the appropriation "Congressional
printing and binding" in title I of the bill.

is responsible for the sale and distribution of Government publica-/

tions as well as the compilation of catalogs and indexes of public docu-
ments. The Office also mails certain Government publications for Mem-
bers of Congress and other Government agencies in accordance with
specific provisions of law or on a reimbursable basis. The allowance
recommended is $1,449,000 greater than the appropriation for fiscal
year 1978.
The Committee has been informed the annual subscription price for
the Congressional Record is not sufficient to recover the cost of print-
ing, binding, and distribution. Currently, the subscription price is $45
per year, the rate set in 1971. Since that time, however, the Public
Printer has testified that printing costs have increased by over 100%.
The Committee suggests that the Public Printer seek the assistance of
the Joint Committee on Printing to bring the subscription rate more
nearly in line with costs.
GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE
SALARIES AND EXPENSES
The Committee recommends appropriations totaling $185,756,000
for the General Accounting Office. This allowance is $18 756,000 more
than is available for fiscal year 1978 and $2,087,000 less than the
amount requested.
Included in the allowance is a net increase of 120 staff positions made
necessary by Congressionally mandated studies, an increase in GAO's
Department of Defense-related workload, and a closing up of other
gaps in the audit workload. The reduction in the request is based on
phasing in the additional staff over a six-month period rather than
providing 12-month funding.
The General Accounting Office, as is true of all the related agencies
in the bill, provides not only support to the Congress but conducts
activities relating to the operation of the Government as a whole. The
Comptroller General has estimated that the $187,843,000 General
Accounting Office budget request for fiscal year 1979 includes approxi-,
mately $57 million or 30 percent for work which directly supports the
Congress. This includes work mandated by statute and that which is
requested by Committees and Members of Congress. The remainder
of the work is in the category of self-initiated as opposed to Con-
gressionally directed work and includes reviews and evaluations to
improve the economy, efficiency, and effectiveness of Federal Govern-
ment operations as well as other accounting and financial improve-
ment responsibilities assigned to the General Accounting Office by
general legislation over the years.
SAVINGS FROM GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE ACTIVITIES
The work of the Office does result in savings and collections which
are several times the amount of their appropriation. As is shown below,
collections and savings attributable to work by the General Accounting
Office totaled over $5.6 billion in 1977.

The appropriation of $1,850,000 is recommended for the continuing
work of the Board during fiscal year 1979, as requested. This amount
is $13,000 more than is available for the current year to cover the cost
of ingrade increases and annualization of the cost of the October 1977
pay raise. None of the activities of this independent agency, which are
pimarily related to establishing accounting standards for defense
contractors, are in support of the Congress.
TITLE III-GENERAL PROVISIONS
Several provisions in prior year bills have been dropped as they
are no longer necessary. Section 301 prohibits the use of funds for
the care and maintenance of private vehicles except for such emer-
gency assistance and cleaning as may be provided under regula-
tions issued by the Committee on House Administration. Section 302
is the usual provision that no part of any appropriation contained in
this Act shall remain available for obligation beyond the current fiscal
year unless so provided herein. Section 303 authorizes duplicate auto-
mobile tags for Members and Officers of the House and Senate. Section
304 provides for a pay freeze for those individuals in the legislative,
executive, and judicial branches or in the government of the District of
Columbia, whose rate of pay was directly or indirectly increased
as a result of the pay increases which went into effect in 1977 under
the Quadrennial Commission on Executive, Legislative and Judicial
Compensation mechanism. Under the proviso, any individual whose
rate of pay is $47,500 or more is covered by the freeze during fiscal
year 1979. Section 305 is a general provision which would allow the
Pages of the Senate and House to remain on the payroll during the
period between the adjournment of the second session of the 95th
Congress and the convening of the first session of the 96th Congress.
Under the provisions of the Legislative Reorganization Act of 1970, as
amended, the pay of pages shall begin not more than five days before
the convening of a session and shall continue until the end of the
month during which the Congress adjourns sine die or recesses or until
the fourteenth day after such adjournment or recess.

INFLATIONARY IMPACT STATEMENT
Clause 2(1)(4) of rule XI of the House of Representatives requires
that each committee report on a bill or resolution shall contain a state-
ment as to whether enactment of the bill or resolution would have an
inflationary impact on prices and costs in the operation of the national
economy. It is the considered judgment of the Committee that enact-
ment of this bill would have little overall inflationary impact on the
operation of the national economy.

TRANSFERS OF FUNDS
Pursuant to clause 1(b), rule X of the House of Representatives, the
following information is submitted describing the transfers of funds
recommended in the accompanying bill. There are no transfers of
funds recommended in the bill.
CHANGES IN THE APPLICATION OF EXISTING LAW
Pursuant to clause 3, rule XXI of the House of Representatives, the
following statements are submitted describing the effect of provisions
in the accompanying bill which directly or indirectly change the ap-
plication of existing law.
1. On pages 3 and 4 of the bill there is language allowing the trans=
fer of amounts within the consolidated "Salaries, officers and em-
ployees" appropriation upon approval of the Committee on Appro-
priations of the House.
2. On pages 5 and 6 of the bill there is language allowing the transfer
of amounts within the consolidated "Allowances and expenses" ap-
propriation upon approval of the Committee on Appropriations of the
House.
3. On page 6 of the bill there is the customary language that msake
the provisions of five House Resolutions, which expire at the end of a
Congress, permanent law. This long-time practice eliminates the need
to reintroduce resolutions containing provisions of a permanent nature
at the beginning of each new Congress.
4. On page 7 of the bill, there is language appropriating funds to the
Joint Economic Committee for a special study on economic change for
the period January 1, 1979, through December 31, 1980. Under the
authorizing legislation, House Concurrent Resolution 248, approved
July 18, 1977, the authorization expires on December 31, 1978.
5. On pages 8 and 9 of the bill there is language authorizing advance
payments for travel by Capitol Police personnel for training or other
purposes, and expenses associated with the relocation of instructor
personnel from the Capitol Police Force to and from the Federal Law
Enforcement Training Center in Glynco, Georgia.
6. On pages 9-11 of the bill there is the customary language adjust-
ing designations, titles and compensation of certain Metropolitan
Police Department personnel detailed by the District of Columbia
Government to the Capitol Police Force to comport with assigned
duties and levels of responsibility.
7. On page 11 of the bill there is language authorizing the Capitol
Police Board to detail police from the House Office, Senate Office, and
Capitol Buildings for police duty on the Capitol Grounds and on the
Library of Congress Grounds.
8. On page 12 of the bill there is language making funds immediately
available upon enactment of this Act for reimbursement to the United
States Postal Service for "official mail costs". Due to variations in the
total volume and cost of outgoing mail from year to year, this lan-
guage is deemed necessary to insure that funds are available to
maintain a current prompt payment status with the Postal Service.
9. On pages 12 and 13 of the bill there is language authorizing the
Capitol Guide Board to employ not more than two individuals, du in
emergencies, for not more than one hundred twenty days each, an
not more than ten additional individuals for not more than six months
each, notwithstanding the limitation of 28 employees in the bill.

10. On page 13 of the bill there is language authorizing the Office
of Technology Assessment to rent space in the District of Columbia.

for the Architect of the Capitol shall remain available until expended.
These amounts are for renovations, alterations, and improvements to
the buildings under the jurisdiction of the Architect that he anticipates
cannot be completed and the money obligated, in full, by the end of
the fiscal year, as the work must be performed at such times and in
such manner as not to interfere with the occupants of the buildings
involved, particularly the operations of the Congress.
12. On page 17 of the bill there is language authorizing the Architect
of the Capitol to furnish chilled water for air-conditioning on a cost-
reimbursement basis to the Folger Shakespeare Library.
13. On page 17 of the bill there is language allowing reimbursements
for chilled water and steam for the Supreme Court, Folger Library,
City Post Office, and Government Printing Office to be credited to this
appropriation.
14. On page 17 there is language which allows furniture and fur-
nishings for the expanded Capitol Power Plant to be purchased with
funds made available in P.L. 93-50 (87 Stat. 109-110), the Second
Supplemental Appropriation Act, 1973.
15. In three instances the language "without regard to section 3709
of the Revised Statutes of the United States, as amended" has been
included in the appropriations for the Architect of the Capitol.
Section 3709 reads in part "unless otherwise provided in the appro-
priation concerned or other law, purchases and contracts for supplies or
services for the Government may be made or entered into only
after advertising a sufficient time previously for proposals, ex-
cept * * * or (4) when the services required to be performed by the

nature * * ". The instances in the bill relate to the cleaning and
repairing works of art, prevention and eradication of insect and other
pests, and snow removal.
16. The bill provides language "to remain available until expended"

the Library.

use of funds appropriated to the Government Printing Office for the

18. On page 19 of the bill there is language relating to congressional
printing and binding by the Government Printing Office providing
that appropriations recommended shall be available for the payment of
obligations incurred under ap ro riations for similar purposes for
preceding fiscal years, primary due to the unpredictability of the
volume of work generated by the Congress.
19. On page 19 of the bill there is language relating to the Botanic
Garden providing for the prevention and eradication of insects and
other pests and plant diseases by purchase of materials and pro-
curement of personal services by contract without regard to the

provisions of any other Act, specifically section 3709 of the Revised
Statutes, as amended, which reads in part "unless otherwise provided
in the appropriation concerned or other law, purchases and contracts
for supplies or services for the Government may be made or entered
into only after advertising a sufficient time previously for proposals,
except * * * or (4) when the services required to be performed by
the contractor in person and are (A) of a technical and professional
nature * * *".
20. On page 20 of the bill there is language permitting up to
$6,500,000 of receipts collected from the sale of catalog cards and
other materials to be credited to the Library of Congress "Salaries
and Expenses" appropriation and made available for obligation

that not to exceed fifteen positions in the Library of Congress may be
exempt from the provisions of Appropriations Acts concerning the
employment of aliens during the current fiscal year, but the Librarian
shall not make any appointment to any such position until he has
ascertained that he cannot secure for such appointments a person
in any of the categories specified in such provisions who possesses the
special qualifications for the particular position and also meets the
general requirements for employment in the Library of Congress.
24. On page 23 of the bill, section 203, there is language authorizing
the Library of Congress to provide benefits, including rental of living
quarters in foreign countries and travel benefits, comparable to those
provided under specified sections of the Foreign Assistance Act of
1961, as amended. These benefits are not otherwise available to
Library of Congress employees.
25. On page 23 of the bill, section 204, there is language authorizing
payments in advance for subscriptions or other charges for biblio-
graphical data, publications, materials in any other form, and services
whenever the Librarian of Congress determines it to be more prompt,
efficient, or economical to do so in the interest of carrying out re-
quired Library programs.
26. On page 24 of the bill there is language in section 206 relating to
the transportation of employees of the Library of Congress to and
from parking facilities located outside the limits of the Library of
Congress grounds without regard to the limitations imposed by 31

28. Section 208 on page 24 of the bill authorizes the Library of
Congress to compute and disburse the basic pay of all personnel of the
Copyright Royalty Tribunal pursuant to the provisions of 5 U.S.C.

is included in the basic legislation establishing the Tribunal.
29. On pa e 25 of the bill there is language relating to Library
buildings and grounds providing that $200,000 shall remain available
until expended. This amount is to provide fire protection improvements
which the Architect of the Capitol anticipates cannot be completed
during the fiscal year.
30. On pages 25 and 26 of the bill there is language restricting the
use of funds appropriated to the Government Printing Office for
the printing and binding of the Yearbook of Agriculture which is
financed through the Department of Agriculture.
31. On pages 25 and 26 of the bill there is language relating to
printing and binding by the Government Printing Office providing that
appropriations recommended shall be available for the payment of
obligations incurred under appropriations for similar purposes for
preceding fiscal years, primarily due to the unpredictability of the
volume of work generated by the Congress.
32. On page 27 of the bill there is language relating to the General
Accounting Office authorizing the direct procurement of expert and
consultant services under 5 U.S.C. 3109, but at rates for individuals
not to exceed the per diem rate equivalent to the rate for grade
GS-18. 5 U.S.C. 3109 authorizes the procurement of expert and con-
sultant services when authorized by an appropriation or other statute,
and permits compensation therefor at rates exceeding the daily
equivalent of the highest rate payable under 5 U.S.C. 5332 only when
specifically authorized by the appropriation or other statute authoriz-
ing such services. The language provides the specific authority re-
quired by 5 U.S.C. 3109.
33. On page 27 of the bill there is language relating to the General
Accounting Office authorizing the hire of one passenger motor vehicle.
31 U.S.C. 638a(a) prohibits the use of appropriations to purchase

cable to the General Accounting Office, unless specifically authorized
by an appropriation or other law. The language provides the specific
authority required by 31 U.S.C. 638(a).
34. On page 28 of the bill there is language authorizing the General
Accounting Office to make "advance payments in foreign countries
notwithstanding section 3648, Revised Statutes, as amended (31

shall be made in any case unless authorized by the appropriation
concerned or other law. The language provides this authorization.
35. On page 28 of the bill the General Accounting Office is au-
thorized to provide benefits, including rental of living quarters in
foreign countries and travel benefits, comparable to those provided
under specified sections of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as
amended. These benefits are not otherwise available to General
Accounting Office employees.

36. On pages 28 and 29 of the bill there is language making the

for administrative expenses of any other member department or
agency, available to finance an appropriate share of the costs of the
Joint Financial Management Improvement Program (JFMIP) and
the National Intergovernmental Audit Forum or a Regional Inter-
governmental Audit Forum. The language constitutes the congres-
sional approval required by the following provision contained each
year in the Treasury, Postal Service, and General Government Appro-
priation Act; see e.g., Public Law 94-363, section 608 (90 Stat. 979) :
"No part of any appropriation contained in this or any other Act,
shall be available to finance interdepartmental boards, commissions,
councils, committees, or similar groups under section 214 of the Inde-
pendent Offices Appropriations Act, 1946 (81 U.S.C. 691) which do
not have prior and specific congressional approval of such methods of
financial . support."
The language of the bill further provides that payments to either
the Forum or the JFMIP may be credited as reimbursements to any
appropriation from which costs involved are initially financed. Absent
this language, such payments would be for deposit to the Treasury as
miscellaneous receipts under 31 U.S.C. 484.
37. On page 29 of the bill there is language prohibiting the use of
funds in the Act for the maintenance or care of private vehicles except
for emergency assistance and cleaning as may be provided under
regulations relating to parking facilities for the House issued by the
Committee on House Administration.
38. On page 30 of the bill there is language which will hereafter
permit each authorized Senator, Member of the House, or other
individual to be issued a duplicate congressional. automobile tag.

ing for a pay freeze for those individuals in the legislative, executive,
and judicial branches and in the government of the District of Colum-
bia., whose rate of pay was directly or indirectly increased as a result
of the pay increases which went into effect in 1977 under the Quadren-
nial Commission mechanism. Under the proviso, any individual whose
rate of pay is $47,500, or more, is covered by the freeze during fiscal
year 1979. Additionally, general schedule employees, whose rate of
pay is below $17,500, may not have their salaries raised above $47,500.
40. Section 305 of the bill provides authority to pay the pages of the
Senate and House during the adjournment period between the end of
the 95th Congress and the beginning of the 96th Congress.

MINORITY VIEWS OF HON. WILLIAM L. ARMSTRONG
Within the last two decades the overall cast of operating Congress
has increased tenfold. If the increase had been accompanied by a cor-
responding improvement in the ability of the Congress to cope with
the nation's problems, we would not object. But it appears to us, after
we look at the state of the economy and a few other things, that the
opposite is the case. Congress seems gradually less and less able to
come to grips with basic issues.
Yet we continue to appropriate larger and larger amounts of money
for Congressional operations each year. Congress now spends over $1
billion on itself. What ails Congress, it seems to us, is a lack of stomach
for hard decisions, a failure of nerve and judgment rather than lack
of staff and facilities, needed though these may be. Merely increasing
funding for congressional operations has not and will. not overcome
the basic problems which have stymied action on curbing inflation,
unemployment, tax reform, an energy program, and other issues of
utmost importance.
AUTOMATIC COST OF LIVING PAY INCREASE
We are pleased with the action taken this year in denying for fiscal
year 1979, the automatic cost of living increase which was voted in
1975. What remains is to correct the situation legislatively once and
for all. It seems to us a travesty for Members of Congress who are,
in our view, in large measure responsible for the rampant inflation in
this country today to insulate themselves from the ravages of that
inflation which so severely affect our constituents.
It used to be that the only way we could get a pay raise was to stand
up and publicly vote on it-a method which forced us to listen to the
feelings of our constituents back home. It was a good system, and the
vote to fatten one's own pay check was not taken often or lightly. In
1975, we adopted a backdoor mechanism by which we could increase
our salaries and never have to face. the embarassment of having to ask
our employer, the public, for a raise.
Our opposition to pay increases is not based on our estimate of what
Congressmen should be paid. Instead, we are concerned about the ex-
ample set for the Nation. Our economic system has been seriously dam-
aged by Congress' fiscal irresponsibility. We are not yet recovered from
a recession and the accompanying high unemployment caused, to a
great degree, by runaway Federal spending, and already we are seeing
grim signs that continued deficit financing may touch off new double
digit inflation. Under such circumstances,'this is a time for restraint.
We believe the spending of Congress on itself could and should be
substantially reduced without adversely affecting the legislative proc-
ess. By doing so the. House would save taxpayer funds at a time when
such savings are particularly necessary. More important., however,
Congress would thereby set. an example of prudence and restraint in-
stead of continuing an example of self-indulgence. We are therefore
pleased to see that our colleamles have recognized the importance of
fiscal restraint and supported the elimination of the cost of living
increase for fiscal year 1979.

CONGRESS' FRINGE BENEFITS
An area of spending which concerns us very much is the number of
free publications and other benefits we, as Members of Congress re-
ceive. We realize that the amounts of money here are not tremendous
when compared with some of the other things Congress does. How-
ever, we think we have a responsibility to the taxpayer to conserve on
spending in every way possible.
The amendment we offered would have prohibited the use of funds
to provide House Wall Calendars, U.S. Historical Society Calendars,
Agriculture Yearbooks (for which we pay the handling costs, folding
room costs, etc.), plants from the U.S. Botanic Garden, and shipping
trunks to Members of Congress unless reimbursement or other pay-
inent is made from our official office expense allowances. The value
of the publications alone to each Member has been estimated at $12,500
which means a total of $5.5 million for the House as a whole. More-
over, this does not include hundreds of other pamphlets prepared by
the Government Printing Office and other executive departments that
a Congressman can distribute for free.
Particularly in election years, the halls of House Office Buildings
are clogged with stacks of publications awaiting shipment to voters.
Apart from the cost, which as we have noted runs into the millions,
this practice has too large a measure of campaign gimmickry and
des^rves to be curbed.
We are not asking that we forbid Members from getting these
_publications, but we should be required to pay for them out of our
official office accounts. Not only would this cut down on spending for
these publications, it would provide constituents with a record of how
much their Congressman is spending on these self-promotional
materials.
While these are not as sizeable a drain on the tax dollar as some
of the other items we address in this bill, they are representative of
an approach to public service which has too high a component of
private convenience.
AUDIT OF HOUSE ACCOUNTS
The misuse of expense allowances and committee funds is sending
some Members of Congress to jail and has brought disgrace to others.
While the House has taken significant steps to disclose and regu-
late Member's personal finances, it has done little to provide for full
disclosure and regulation of the way Members and committees spend
their expense allowances involving the taxpayer's dollars. Funds of
committees and the tax-paid allowances of members should be subject
to audit in the same way every other agency of government is subject
to audit.

tion of Congress to perform them.

Audits of House accounts would go a long way toward preventing
the abuses that have indicted a number of Members and reflect upon
the vast majority of Members who are totally scrupulous in their use
of taxpayer's dollars. Audits would be a real protection for this vast
majority who want to do the right thing but have little outside
guidance or support. Audits would require uniform procedures and
prevent innocent mistakes that reflect discredit on the Member
involved.
The Commission on Administrative Review has recommended an
audit process. (Although, we note, in a somewhat different approach.)
Audit proposals have been advanced by many Members. An audit
procedure can be implemented in this bill.
FAT IN HOUSE ACCOUNTS
In addition to remaining unaudited, Member's allowances have in-
creased at a shameful rate and have been restructured to increase their
utility for political reelection purposes.
Not only has the House "consolidated" accounts so that funds which
used to be limited to, say, travel to the district, can now be used for
more constituent mailings but it has also substantially sweetened the
total pot available to incumbents. And it is no secret that much of this
pot is used indirectly for reelection purposes.
When the House prohibited "office accounts" of voluntary contribu-
tions to cover Member's expenses, which few Members had anyway, it
added $5,000 of taxpayers money to the Member's allowance pot to
make up for this hardship. The $5,000 could, of course, be put to any
"official" use the Member deemed desirable to promote his incumbency.
A few months later the House Administration Committee, with no
public hearings and only 30 minutes notice of the meeting agenda, in-
creased district office rental allowances by an average of $7,900 per
Member. This money was, of course, also transferable to any other
"official" use the Member deemed desirable to promote his incumbency.
Prior to this time the House had already created a tax paid "Con-
stituent Communications" allowance of $5,000 to fund printing of
newsletters and questionnaires. This allowance, previously covered by
private funds, does not, of course, even reflect the cost of tax paid
postage to frank the newly tax paid newsletter. Congressional postage
alone costs the taxpayer $64,944,000 annually.
The whole thing amounts to fat in House accounts designed to re-
elect incubents. Member's allowances should be reduced.
