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

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

The Court is composed of a Chief Judge and eighteen judges. Judges of the Tax Court are appointed by the President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, for 15 year terms. Decisions by the Court are reviewable by the United States Courts of Appeals and, if certiorari is granted, by the Supreme Court. In their judicial duties, the judges are assisted by Senior Judges, who participate in the adjudication of regular cases, and by Special Trial Judges, who hear small tax cases and certain regular cases assigned to them by the Chief Judge. The Court conducts trial sessions throughout the United States, including Hawaii and Alaska. The matters over which the Court has jurisdiction are set forth in various sections of Title 26 of the U.S. Code. For 2000, the Court proposes a trial program of 600 weeks consisting of 264 weeks of trial sessions assigned to Presidentially appointed Judges, 236 weeks of trial sessions assigned to Special Trial Judges, and 100 weeks of lengthy special sessions. Trials are held in approximately 80 cities throughout the United States. Statistics on the actual and estimated number of cases before the court are presented in the following tabulation: 1998 actual 1999 est. 2000 est.

Additional funds, as are needed, are provided through the annual appropriation to the U.S. Tax Court. On September 30, 1998, 25 judges of the court were participating in the fund, and 1 eligible dependent and 6 eligible widows were receiving survivorship annuity payments.

The current program is devoted primarily to the preparation of a History of the Supreme Court of the United States, of which the first two volumes were published by the Macmillan Co. in 1972.

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

The Tribunal is composed of three commissioners appointed by the President with the advice and consent of the Senate for staggered terms of 7 years each. The Tribunal’s statutory responsibilities are: (a) to make determinations concerning copyright royalty rates (1) in the area of cable television (17 U.S.C. 111), (2) for phonorecords (17 U.S.C. 115), (3) for coin-operated phonorecord players (jukeboxes) (17 U.S.C. 116), (4) for non-commercial broadcasting (17 U.S.C. 118), and (5) for digital audio devices (17 U.S.C. 1004); and (b) to distribute cable television, satellite carrier, jukebox, and digital audio devices and media royalties deposited with the Register of Copyrights (17 U.S.C. 111, 116, 119, 1005, and 1007). Public Law 103–198 abolished the Copyright Royalty Tribunal and created a Copyright Arbitration Royalty Panel System administered by the Library of Congress Copyright Office.

Its final report was transmitted to the Congress September 30, 1997. The Commission expired January 1998.

(C) In over 20 years since its creation, the American Folklife Center in the Library of Congress has— (i) increased the size of the Archive of Folk Culture from 500,000 to 1,500,000 multi-format ethnographic items; (ii) engaged in 15 cultural surveys and field documentation projects in all regions of the country; (iii) provided publications, documentary equipment on loan, and advisory and reference service to persons and institutions in all 50 States; (iv) produced exhibitions and other educational programs on American Folklife at the Library and around the country; (v) begun sharing its unique collections in digital form via the Internet; and (vi) served as a national center for the professions of folklore, ethnomusicology, and cultural studies.

(E) The American Folklife Center is the only unit in the Library of Congress which is not permanently authorized. Since its establishment in 1976, the Center’s collections and activities have been fully and successfully integrated into the Library of Congress.
