   JOINT EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF THE COMMITTEE OF CONFERENCE

   The managers on the part of the House and the Senate at the conference on the disagreeing votes of the two Houses on the amendment of the Senate to the bill (H.R. 2500) making appropriations for the Departments of Commerce, Justice, and State, the Judiciary and Related Agencies for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2002, and for other purposes, submit the following joint statement to the House and the Senate in explanation of the effect of the action agreed upon by the managers and recommended in the accompanying conference report. The legislative intent in the House and Senate versions in H.R. 2500 is set forth in the accompanying House report (H. Rept. 107-139 and the accompanying Senate report (S. 107-42).

   Senate amendment: The Senate deleted the entire House bill after the enacting clause and inserted the Senate bill. The conference agreement includes a revised bill.

   TITLE I--DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

   General Administration

   SALARIES AND EXPENSES

   The conference agreement includes $91,668,000 for General Administration as proposed by the House, instead $93,433,000 as proposed by the Senate.

   The conference agreement adopts by reference the House report language regarding the planned integration of the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) IDENT system and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) IAFIS system.

   The conference agreement adopts by reference the Senate report language regarding a study for the establishment of an International Law Enforcement Training Academy in Mexico.

   The conferees continue to be concerned about the security of classified information at the Department. The conferees understand that Federal requirements for storage of classified information mandate that the General Services Administration approved containers are secured with locks that meet or exceed Federal specifications. The conferees expect the Department to report to the Committees no later than March 1, 2002, identifying the number of Department-controlled containers that are not in compliance with the Federal specification.

   The conferees are concerned that the Department of Justice has not adequately focused its attention on the growing problem of methamphetamine production and trafficking and the strain this crime is placing on State and local law enforcement resources. The Department of Justice is directed to undertake a review of its current efforts in assisting States and local communities with this growing problem and to prepare a report that (1) defines the scope of the methamphetamine problem nationwide; (2) identifies the regions of the country most adversely affected by methamphetamine production and trafficking; (3) identifies the needs of State and local law enforcement in addressing this issue; and (4) defines the Department's role in providing training, investigative, and clean-up assistance to States and localities. This plan shall be provided to the Committee by February 15, 2002.

   The conference agreement includes bill language, as proposed by the House, specifying the amount of funding provided for the Department Leadership Program and the Offices of Legislative and Public Affairs.

   JOINT AUTOMATED BOOKING SYSTEM

   The conference agreement includes a total of $15,957,000 for the Joint Automated Booking System (JABS) program as proposed by the House, instead of $22,500,000 as proposed by the Senate. This includes $1,000,000 in direct appropriations and a transfer of $14,957,000 from the Working Capital Fund. The JABS program office may transfer both prior year unobligated and current year JABS funds between components as necessary to accelerate the deployment of the system nationwide without recourse to a reprogramming. The JABS program office is directed to report to the Committees on Appropriations as necessary regarding the status of program deployment.

   NARROWBAND COMMUNICATIONS

   The conference agreement includes a total of $104,615,000 for narrowband communications conversion activities as proposed by the House, instead of $204,549,000 as proposed by the Senate. This includes $94,615,000 in direct appropriations and a $10,000,000 transfer from the Working Capital Fund. The conferees note that there is $105,000,000 in prior year carryover in this account. The conference agreement provides funding necessary to continue implementation of the Department of Justice Wireless Network and for operations and maintenance of legacy systems. The conference agreement does not include language from the Senate report regarding transfers from the Judiciary or the State Department, or availability of funds for this account. Instead, the Wireless Management Office is directed to submit, as part of the fiscal year 2003 President's budget submission, a program plan based on the final list of system requirements and a breakout, by fiscal year and activity, of the total program cost based on the program plan.

   Counterterrorism Fund

   The conference agreement includes $4,989,000 for the Counterterrorism Fund as proposed by the House. The Senate did not fund this program. When combined with $41,077,000 in prior year carryover, this will make a total of $46,066,000 available in the Fund for fiscal year 2002 to cover unanticipated, extraordinary expenses as a result of a terrorist threat or incident.

   Port Security

   The conference agreement does not include $39,950,000 for Port Security as proposed by

[Page: H8003]

   ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW AND APPEALS

   The conference agreement includes $173,647,000 for Administrative Review and Appeals, instead of $178,751,000 as proposed by the House and $45,813,000 as proposed by the Senate.

   The conference agreement includes $12,940,000 for inflationary costs and other adjustments to base. The conferees direct that the Executive Office of Immigration Review fully fund contract court interpreter services as necessary.

   DETENTION TRUSTEE

   The conference agreement includes $1,000,000 for the Federal Detention Trustee, instead of $1,721,000 as proposed by the House, and $88,884,000 as proposed by the Senate. The conferees note that once again the Department has failed to centralize funding for the Department's detention needs under the Detention Trustee account as required by the fiscal year 2001 conference report. The Attorney General is directed, as part of the fiscal year 2003 budget submission, to include either a funding proposal to fully centralize all detention funding under the Detention Trustee, or a plan for the orderly shutdown of this office.

   OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL

   The conference agreement includes $50,735,000 for the Office of Inspector General as proposed by the House, instead of $46,006,000 as proposed by the Senate.

   The conference agreement adopts by reference the House report language regarding the provision of $5,000,000 to expand the Inspector General's authorities in investigating allegations of employee misconduct within the FBI and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).

   United States Parole Commission

   SALARIES AND EXPENSES

   The conference agreement includes $9,876,000 for the United States Parole Commission, instead of $10,915,000 as proposed by the House and $8,836,000 as proposed by the Senate.

   The conferees are aware that the Parole Commission is scheduled to be phased out in November 2002. The conferees are also aware that a substantial parole caseload, the majority of which is District of Columbia prisoners, will exist well into the future. As part of the fiscal year 2003 budget submission, the Attorney General is directed to propose either an extension of the existing Commission or the transfer of the residual caseload to a Federal or District of Columbia agency. In the event the latter is proposed, the budget submission should include a plan for the orderly shutdown of the Parole Commission.

   Legal Activities

   SALARIES AND EXPENSES, GENERAL LEGAL ACTIVITIES

   The conference agreement includes $549,176,000 for General Legal Activities, instead of $568,011,000 as proposed by the House and $527,543,000 as proposed by the Senate.

   The conference agreement adopts by reference the House report language and funding levels for the Civil Rights Division to enforce the Victims of Trafficking and Protection Act of 2000 and to investigate and prosecute abuses in facilities for individuals who are mentally ill and developmentally disabled, nursing homes, juvenile correctional facilities, and adult jails and prisons.

   The conference agreement adopts by reference the Senate report language and funding levels for the Criminal Division's Child Exploitation and Obscenity section, Computer Crime and Intellectual Property section, and Office of Enforcement Operations, and the Civil Division's All Other Torts section.

   THE NATIONAL CHILDHOOD VACCINE INJURY ACT

   The conference agreement includes a reimbursement of $4,028,000 for fiscal year 2002 from the Vaccine Injury Compensation Trust Fund to the Department of Justice, as proposed by the House and Senate.

   LEGAL ACTIVITIES OFFICE AUTOMATION

   The conference agreement includes $15,765,000 for Legal Activities Office Automation, instead of $34,600,000 as proposed by the Senate. The House provided $18,835,000 for Legal Activities Office Automation through the ``Salaries and Expenses, General Legal Activities'' appropriation. The conference agreement adopts the Senate language creating this new account structure.

   The conferees expect the Department to provide an additional $18,835,000 for Legal Activities Office Automation from the Working Capital Fund.

   SALARIES AND EXPENSES, ANTITRUST DIVISION

   The conference agreement provides $130,791,000 for the Antitrust Division as proposed by the Senate, instead of $141,366,000 as proposed by the House. This amount will be offset with Hart-Scott-Rodino fee collections, regardless of the year of collection, resulting in no direct appropriations. The conference agreement adopts the Senate bill language structure.

   SALARIES AND EXPENSES, UNITED STATES ATTORNEYS

   The conference agreement adopts by reference the House report language regarding habeas corpus overload, and adopts Senate report language regarding fundamental reform of United States Attorneys operations, gun prosecutions in Colorado, and the National Advocacy Center, including the distance learning facility. In addition, the conference agreement provides such sums as may be necessary for court technology and computer and telecommunications coordinators.

   The conference agreement directs the United States Attorneys to provide a total of $10,000,000 for cybercrime and intellectual property enforcement. The direction included in both the House and Senate reports regarding the submission of a report on copyright enforcement is adopted by reference.

   The conference agreement does not include language in the Senate bill and report regarding gun surveillance technology and state and local training on child pornography investigations. Instead, both projects were funded under the Office of Justice Programs. The conference agreement includes $6,500,000 under the Office of Justice Programs, Justice Assistance, to assist State and local law enforcement agencies to acquire the necessary knowledge, equipment, and personnel resources to prevent, interdict, or investigate child sexual exploitation.

   UNITED STATES TRUSTEE SYSTEM FUND

   The conference agreement provides $147,000,000 for the United States Trustees, to be funded entirely from offsetting collections, instead of $145,937,000 as proposed by the House and $154,044,000 as proposed by the Senate.

   The conference agreement adopts by reference the House report language regarding funding various automation projects through the Working Capital Fund, and the Senate report language on the National Advocacy Center.

   SALARIES AND EXPENSES, FOREIGN CLAIMS SETTLEMENT COMMISSION

   The conference agreement includes $1,136,000 for the Foreign Claims Settlement Commission as proposed by the House, instead of $1,130,000 as proposed by the Senate.

   SALARIES AND EXPENSES, UNITED STATES MARSHALS SERVICE

   The conference agreement includes $619,429,000 for the U.S. Marshals Service (USMS) salaries and expenses account, instead of $622,646,000 as proposed by the House and $644,746,000 as proposed by the Senate. The conference agreement adopts by reference Senate language and funding levels for the Warrant Information Network and other networks and on-line services, including the transfer from the Justice Detainee Information System, recurring costs of the Electronic Surveillance Unit, and the transfer of funds from Human Resources to the Central Courthouse Management Group for safety and health programs. The conference agreement does not adopt Senate language regarding increases to the base, except those specifically addressed below, or the transfer of Justice Prisoner and Alien Transportation System funding from this account to the Detention Trustee. The conference agreement includes $500,000 for Special Operations Group training, equipment, and facilities maintenance and $583,000 for permanent changes of station. The latter two items should be treated as permanent increases to the base. The conference agreement does not include Senate language or funding levels referencing courthouse security personnel, terrorism or radios, or House language and funding levels regarding District of Columbia revitalization. The conference agreement includes language providing not to exceed 4,128 positions and 3,993 full time equivalents for the Marshals Service as proposed by the House. The Senate did not include a similar provision.

   Overseas Assignments.--The conferees are aware that the U.S. Marshals Service has established a number of foreign offices in U.S. embassies without Congressional approval, using extended temporary duty assignments to circumvent the relocation report process. Therefore, the conferees direct the Justice Management Division to report by November 30, 2001, to the Committees on Appropriations regarding the locations and purposes of

[Page: H8004]

   Financial Management.--The conferees are concerned that, even with a reformed budget execution process, a small budget shortfall in the Marshals Service at the beginning of the year was left unaddressed until well into the fourth quarter, despite sharp prompting from the Committees on Appropriations. Therefore, the conferees direct the Marshals Service to submit, through the Justice Management Division, within 30 days of the date of enactment of this Act, an overall agency spending plan for the full amount appropriated for fiscal year 2002.

   Special Assignments.--The conferees are concerned that special assignment funds, provided for contingencies, are being used to subsidize base activities. This misuse of emergency funding threatens to undermine the budget execution process. Therefore, the conferees direct that management of all operations associated with the New York City and East Africa bombing trials, including protective details, be returned to the Southern District of New York, that all costs associated with these operations be budgeted out of base funds, and that a multi-agency security review of these operations be undertaken immediately. This review shall be provided to the Committees on Appropriations when completed. In addition, the conferees direct that, within two weeks of the date of enactment of this Act, the Marshals shall identify to the Committees on Appropriations the total amount available for special assignments in fiscal year 2002. Thereafter, obligations of special assignment funds shall require the notification of the Committees on Appropriations.

   Fugitive Apprehensions.--The conference agreement provides increases of $3,150,000 for Electronic Surveillance Unit personnel and equipment and $5,825,000 for the establishment of dedicated fugitive task forces on both coasts as proposed by the Senate.

   Courthouse Security Staffing and Prisoner Transportation.--The total amount of funding provided also includes increases of $3,625,000 for courthouse security personnel for existing and new courthouses, and $1,451,000 for prisoner transportation.

   Courthouse Security Equipment.--The conference agreement includes a new appropriation for the USMS, ``courthouse security equipment,'' as proposed by the Senate. The House did not include a similar provision. The conference agreement includes $14,267,000 for these activities, instead of $5,769,000 as proposed by the House under USMS salaries and expenses and $18,145,000 as proposed by the Senate. Funding for courthouse security equipment is provided as follows:

   JUSTICE PRISONER AND ALIEN TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM FUND

   The conference agreement does not include funding for the USMS Justice Prisoner and Alien Transportation System account, as proposed by the House, instead of $53,050,000 as proposed by the Senate.

   FEDERAL PRISONER DETENTION

   The conference agreement provides $706,182,000 for Federal Prisoner Detention, instead of $724,682,000 as proposed by the House and $687,682,000 as proposed by the Senate. This is an increase of $110,094,000, or 18 percent, over the fiscal year 2001 appropriation. The Department should notify the Committees on Appropriations by the end of the second quarter regarding the status of obligations in this account.

   FEES AND EXPENSES OF WITNESSES

   The conference agreement includes $156,145,000 for Fees and Expenses of Witnesses as proposed by the Senate, instead of $148,494,000 as proposed by the House.

   SALARIES AND EXPENSES, COMMUNITY RELATIONS SERVICE

   The conference agreement includes $9,269,000 for the Community Relations Service, as proposed by both the House and Senate.

   The conference agreement includes a provision allowing the Attorney General to transfer up to $1,000,000 to this program, as proposed by the House and Senate. The Attorney General is expected to notify the Committees if this transfer authority is exercised. In addition, a provision is included allowing the Attorney General to transfer additional resources, subject to reprogramming requirements, upon a determination that emergent circumstances warrant additional funding, as proposed by the House.

   ASSETS FORFEITURE FUND

   The conference agreement provides $22,949,000 for the Assets Forfeiture Fund as proposed by Senate, instead of $21,949,000 as proposed by the House.

   Radiation Exposure Compensation

   ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

   The conference agreement includes $1,996,000 for administrative expenses for the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act, as proposed by the House and Senate.

   PAYMENT TO THE RADIATION EXPOSURE COMPENSATION TRUST FUND

   The conference agreement does not include funding to make payment to the Radiation Exposure Compensation Trust Fund, instead of $10,776,000 as proposed by the House and Senate.

   The conferees believe that the Federal government must meet its obligations to persons, and their families, who were exposed to radiation and who now suffer from related diseases. The conferees note that the compensation payments are based on claimants meeting eligibility criteria and therefore should be scored or treated as mandatory payments under the Budget Act. Such payments were assumed in the fiscal year 2002 congressional budget resolution to be scored as mandatory with enactment of appropriate legislation starting in fiscal year 2002. Supplemental appropriations were provided for fiscal year 2001 with the understanding and expectation that future funding for this purpose would be mandatory and that further discretionary appropriations would not be necessary.

   Interagency Law Enforcement

   INTERAGENCY CRIME AND DRUG ENFORCEMENT

   The conference agreement provides $338,577,000 for Interagency Crime and Drug Enforcement, instead of $340,189,000 as proposed by the House and $336,966,000 as proposed by the Senate. Of the amounts provided, $500,000 shall be made available to equip the Federal gun range replacing the closed range at Rocky Flats, Colorado, for use by Federal, state and local law enforcement. The conferees adopt by reference the Senate language regarding the Immigration and Naturalization Service 25 percent matching requirement.

   Trilogy.--The conference agreement includes a total of $142,390,000 for Trilogy, of which $74,730,000 is base funding, $29,565,000 is derived from a Working Capital Fund transfer, and $38,095,000 is provided in new direct appropriations.

   Quantico Laboratory.--The conference agreement provides a total of $36,602,000 for laboratory activation, including a transfer of $24,837,000 from the Working Capital Fund for laboratory equipment and $11,765,000 for moving costs, fit out, and operations and maintenance.

   The conference agreement directs the FBI to fully reimburse private ambulance providers for their costs in support of Hostage Rescue Team operations in St. Martin Parish, Louisiana, in December 1999, as proposed by the Senate. The House did not include a similar provision.

   The conference agreement includes language limiting the FBI to not exceed 24,935 positions and 24,488 full time equivalents, as proposed by the House. The Senate did not include a similar provision. The conference agreement also includes a provision that provides for up to 1,354 passenger motor vehicles, of which 1,190 will be for replacement only, as proposed by the Senate, instead of 1,236 and 1,142, respectively, as proposed by the House.

   CONSTRUCTION

   The conference agreement includes $33,791,000 for construction for the FBI, instead of $1,250,000 as requested and proposed by the House and $44,074,000 as proposed by the Senate. This includes funding for an annex at the Engineering Research Facility that will support consolidation of various high technology programs on the FBI Academy campus in Quantico, Virginia.

   Hazardous Devices School.--The conferees recognize the FBI's mission to prevent and detect terrorist activities and understand the importance preparedness plays in achieving this mission, particularly as it relates to Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD). An essential element of an effective U.S. response to WMD incidents rests with first responders, including public safety bomb squads. All state and local bomb technicians are trained and certified at the Hazardous Devices School (HDS) at the Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Alabama, which is operated jointly by the FBI and the U.S. Army. The conferees approve of the transfer of $9,000,000 in no year funds from the Department of Defense to the FBI for the construction of practical training villages for the HDS. These villages will be used for realistic training exercises. Further, the conferees support the transfer from DOD of an additional $14,000,000 in no year funds to be used by the FBI for the construction of a classroom building at the HDS.

   Drug Enforcement Administration

   DEA is reminded that any deviation from the above distribution is subject to the reprogramming requirements of section 605 of this Act.

   The conference agreement provides a net increase of $68,213,000 for base adjustments as follows: increases totaling $73,532,000 for pay and other inflationary costs to maintain current operations, offset by a $5,319,000 reduction for GSA rent decreases. In addition, the conference agreement includes program increases totaling $53,260,000 as follows:

   Special Operations Division.--The conference agreement includes increases totaling $14,006,000 for drug enforcement investigations of the Special Operations Division, including $8,223,000 for domestic enforcement, $242,000 for intelligence, $164,000 for management and administration and drug and chemical conversion, and $5,377,000 for research, engineering, and technical operations.

   FIREBIRD Implementation.--The conference agreement includes an increase of $19,400,000 for FIREBIRD implementation, including increases of $2,500,000 for deployment, $1,900,000 for network security, and $15,000,000 for technology renewal. DEA is directed to continue to provide quarterly FIREBIRD status and obligation reports to the Committees on Appropriations.

   Forensic Support.--The conference agreement includes an increase of $13,104,000, as provided by both the House and Senate, to support additional chemists and purchase laboratory equipment. The conference agreement adopts by reference House language regarding distribution of this funding.

   In addition, $6,750,000 is provided to procure one twin engine medium lift helicopter

[Page: H8006]

   In addition, the conference agreement includes a total of $20,000,000 under the Community Oriented Policing Services Methamphetamine/Drug ``Hot Spots'' program for DEA to assist State and local law enforcement agencies with the costs associated with methamphetamine clean up.

   Drug Diversion Control Fee Account.--The conference agreement includes total funding of $86,021,000 for DEA's Drug Diversion Control Program for fiscal year 2002, of which $67,000,000 is from new diversion fee collections and $19,021,000 is from prior year collections. The conference agreement assumes that the level of balances in the Fee Account is sufficient to fully support diversion control programs in fiscal year 2002.

   Immigration and Naturalization Service

   SALARIES AND EXPENSES

   The conference agreement includes $3,371,440,000 for the salaries and expenses of the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) as proposed by the House, instead of $3,176,037,000 as proposed by the Senate. In addition to the amounts appropriated, the conference agreement assumes that $2,142,926,000 will be available from offsetting fee collections, instead of $2,140,610,000 as proposed by the House and $2,058,723,000 as proposed by the Senate. Thus, including resources provided under the Construction account, the conference agreement provides a total operating level of $5,642,820,000 for the INS, instead of $5,640,504,000 as proposed by the House and $5,506,299,000 as proposed by the Senate. This funding level is an increase of $841,332,000, or 18 percent, over fiscal year 2001.

   INS Organization and Management.--Consistent with the concept of separating immigration enforcement from services, the conference agreement continues to use, as in the last three fiscal years, two accounts, as requested by the President and proposed in the House bill: Enforcement and Border Affairs, and Citizenship and Benefits, Immigration Support and Program Direction. INS enforcement funds are provided in the Enforcement and Border Affairs account. All immigration-related benefits and naturalization, support, and program resources are provided in the Citizenship and Benefits, Immigration Support and Program Direction account. Neither account includes revenues generated in various fee accounts to fund program activities for both enforcement and services functions, which are in addition to the appropriated funds and are discussed below. Funds for INS construction projects continue to be provided in the INS construction account.

   The conference agreement includes bill language which provides authority for the Attorney General to transfer funds from one account to another in order to ensure that funds are properly aligned. Such transfers may occur notwithstanding any transfer limitations imposed under this Act, but such transfers are still subject to the reprogramming requirements under Section 605 of this Act. It is expected that any request for transfer of funds will remain within the activities under those headings.

   A cap on overtime of $30,000 per employee per calendar year has been in place the last several years in order to help the INS maintain control over its budget. The conference agreement maintains this limit as provided in the House bill, but provides the INS Commissioner the flexibility to exceed the cap as necessary for national security purposes and in cases of immigration emergencies. The Senate bill limited overtime to $1,153 per employee per pay period. The INS is directed to submit to the Committees on Appropriations quarterly reports on overtime expenditures by employee, activity and district. It is expected that funding provided in this act for 570 additional Border Patrol agents, 348 additional land border inspectors, new airport and seaport inspectors funded by the fee increases, as well as additional agents and inspectors that may be funded in other Appropriations Acts during this fiscal year, will reduce the need for overtime beyond $30,000 per employee for the calendar year.

   The conference agreement includes a provision limiting the number of non-career personnel appointments at the INS to six positions, instead of a limit of four positions as proposed by the House and no limit as proposed by the Senate. This level represents an increase of 50 percent above the current ceiling for non-career appointments at INS. The conferees expect the Commissioner to use this increased authority to hire qualified personnel with management and information technology expertise who can contribute to the goal of fundamental INS reform. The conferees will consider a request for additional non-career hiring authority or other personnel authority options above this ceiling during the fiscal year 2003 budget process. The conferees expect that a detailed proposal outlining both the need for such additional authorities and how they relate to proposed INS restructuring and management reforms, to be coordinated with the Department of Justice, the Office of Personnel Management, and the Office of Management and Budget, will accompany the INS fiscal year 2003 budget submission.

   The conference agreement also modifies language from the House bill to provide that when positions become vacant in the Offices of Legislative Affairs and Public Affairs, at least ten of these positions be filled with detailees, transfers, or other non-permanent staff, with the goal of rotating staff who have experience in INS field operations through these offices. The Senate bill included a different version of this provision.

   Base adjustments.--The conference agreement provides a total increase of $80,110,000 and 429 full time equivalents for inflationary cost increases and adjustments to base for INS salaries and expenses. The conference agreement does not include transfers to the Exams Fees account or the Breached Bond/Detention account as proposed by the Senate.

   ENFORCEMENT AND BORDER AFFAIRS

   The conference agreement provides $2,739,695,000 for this account, instead of $2,738,517,000 as proposed by the House. The Senate did not provide separate funding for this account. This amount includes an increase of $74,911,000 and 417 full time equivalents for pay and inflationary adjustments for Border Patrol, Investigations, Detention and Deportation, and Intelligence, as requested. None of these amounts include offsetting fees, which are used to fund both enforcement and services functions. The INS is directed to notify the Committees on Appropriations regarding the assignment of all new border patrol agents and inspectors provided for in this Act as well as any other Appropriations Acts that may be enacted during fiscal year 2002.

   Border Control and Management.--The conference agreement includes increases of $123,331,000 for border control and management, as follows:

   Land Border Inspectors.--The conference agreement includes an increase of $25,408,000 for 348 new land border ports-of-entry inspectors as proposed by the Senate. The House did not include a similar provision. The INS is expected to assign these new inspectors to the highest priority locations, paying particular attention to the Northern Border.

   Border Patrol Agents.--The conference agreement includes an increase of $66,352,000 to hire 570 additional border patrol agents, as proposed by the House, instead of $75,000,000 as proposed by the Senate. Senate language regarding assignment of border patrol agents is adopted by reference. In addition, an increase of $2,076,000 is provided for new border patrol vehicles, instead of the funding level referenced by the Senate. The House did not include a similar provision. The conferees understand that the INS spent about $100,000,000 to acquire 2,762 replacement and enhancement vehicles in fiscal year 2001 using base funds, enhancement funds, and recoveries.

   Detention and Removals.--The conference agreement also includes increases of $20,823,000 for consolidated bed space expansion needs, instead of $39,388,000 as proposed by the House and no funding as proposed by the Senate. This amount includes an increase of $10,154,000 for additional detention staff, support staff and removal costs; an increase of $1,873,000 for detainee transportation vehicles; and an increase of $8,796,000 for Joint Prisoner and Alien Transportation System (JPATS) requirements to support additional domestic and repatriation movements. The conference agreement does not include the proposed transfer of funds from INS to the JPATS Fund for this activity, which was recommended by the Senate. In addition, the conference agreement also includes an increase of $8,672,000 as proposed by the House for detainee medical costs. The Senate did not include a similar provision.

   Interior Enforcement.--The conference agreement also includes funding as necessary to support an additional Quick Response Team (QRT) for New Jersey, if merited. The INS is directed to consult with the Committees on Appropriations regarding the status of its interior enforcement effort. The conference agreement does not adopt Senate language regarding QRTs.

   Border Patrol Equipment and Technology.-- The conference agreement adopts by reference the Senate report language and funding levels regarding the Integrated Surveillance Intelligence System systems engineering, and the House language regarding border patrol equipment.

   IDENT/IAFIS.--The conference agreement provides a transfer of $9,000,000 from the Working Capital Fund to the Department of Justice General Administration account to provide for the continued integration of the INS and FBI fingerprint identification systems. This amount reflects a current estimate of the funding need as provided to the Committees on Appropriations by the Department of Justice.

   In addition, the conferees adopt by reference House language regarding enforcement of section 212 of the Immigration and Nationality Act. The Senate did not include a similar provision. Further, the INS is directed to ensure that it does not allow any aliens to enter the United States who have been involved in the illegal harvesting of human organs.

   The conference agreement adopts by reference House language regarding the Tucson Sector. The conference agreement does not include language on basic training costs as proposed by the Senate. The House did not address this matter.

   CITIZENSHIP AND BENEFITS, IMMIGRATION SUPPORT AND PROGRAM DIRECTION

   The conference agreement provides $631,745,000 for this account, instead of

[Page: H8007]

   Immigration Services.--The conference agreement includes an increase of $45,000,000, as requested and proposed by the House, to support naturalization and other benefits processing backlog reduction activities. The Senate did not include a similar provision. This amount, when combined with $35,000,000 in base funding and $20,000,000 in fees, will provide $100,000,000 toward reaching a universal six-month processing standard for all immigration applications and petitions. The conference agreement does not include Senate language that transferred $67,000,000 to the Immigration Service and Infrastructure Account. The House did not address this matter.

   In addition, an increase of $1,000,000 is provided for legal orientation programs, instead of $2,800,000 as proposed by the Senate, and an increase of $3,000,000 is provided for alternatives to detention, instead of $7,300,000 as proposed by the Senate. The House did not include similar provisions.

   Further, the conferees adopt by reference Senate direction to provide $5,500,000 to the Eastern Adjudication Service Center to process immigration self-petitions and U visas under the Violence Against Women Act, and T visas under the Victims of Trafficking and Violence Protection Act, and agree that of this amount, $500,000 shall be for the Eastern Adjudication Center as directed by the Senate. The House did not contain a similar provision.

   The Committees continue to be concerned about the problems of backlogs in application processing and casework, and deficiencies in other services. In the fiscal year 2001 conference report, the INS was directed to conduct a complete review of staffing and resource needs to improve benefits and services in all current INS offices, as well as the need for additional offices, particularly in rural areas. The Committees have yet to receive this review. Therefore, the INS is directed to allocate additional staffing and upgrade offices as necessary for the following areas: Roanoke, Virginia; Omaha, Nebraska; Nashville, Tennessee, as described in the Senate report; Patterson, New Jersey; the Bronx, New York; Las Vegas, Nevada, as described in the Senate report; and the other locations mentioned in the fiscal year 2001 conference report.

   In addition to identical provisions included by both the House and Senate, the conference agreement includes the following provisions: (1) a limit of 3,165 passenger motor vehicles, of which 2,211 are for replacement only, as proposed by the House, instead of the Senate proposed limit; (2) a prohibition on the use of funds to operate the San Clemente and Temecula traffic checkpoints unless certain conditions are met, as proposed in the House bill; (3) a provision, as proposed by the House, to make available $5,000 for official reception and representation expenses; and (4) a provision, as proposed by the House, to permit the INS to equip, maintain, and make infrastructure improvements and purchase vehicles for police type use within the Enforcement and Border Affairs account.

   OFFSETTING FEE COLLECTIONS

   The conference agreement assumes $2,142,926,000 will be available from offsetting fee collections, instead of $2,140,610,000 as proposed by the House and $2,058,723,000 as proposed by the Senate, to support activities related to the legal admission of persons into the United States. These activities are funded entirely by fees paid by persons who are either traveling internationally or who are applying for immigration benefits. The following levels are recommended:

   Immigration Inspections User Fees.--The conference agreement includes $591,866,000 of spending from offsetting collections in this account, the same amount requested and proposed by the House, instead of $656,648,000 as proposed by the Senate. This amount represents a $97,482,000 increase over fiscal year 2001 spending, including $20,991,000 for adjustments to base, the full amount requested. The amount also assumes an increase from $6 to $7 for the current airline passenger immigration inspection user fee, and $3 for a new immigration inspection cruise ship passenger fee. The conferees adopt by reference Senate language directing that not less than nine percent of fee collections in this account should be used for technology infrastructure improvements. The House did not address this matter.

   The expected increase in fee collections will fund the following safety, service and technology improvements at airports: $19,927,000, 459 positions and 230 full time equivalents to increase primary inspectors at new and existing airport terminals, as well as at high growth terminals; and $4,510,000, 60 positions and 30 full time equivalents for additional Immigration Inspectors to expand INS/U.S. Customs Service passenger analysis units at airports to analyze traveler information in advance of plane arrivals in order to identify inadmissible aliens, including criminal aliens, drug traffickers, and terrorists. This funding level will also enable the INS to invest at least $14,370,000 in its automated entry/exit system that tracks alien arrivals and departures at airports. This funding level will also fund at least $6,425,000 for upgrades to the National Automated Inspection Lookout System (NAILS), and for additional Live Scan Devices that can send electronic fingerprint submissions to the FBI's Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System (IAFIS). The funding level will also provide an additional $6,512,000 for additional Detention Enforcement Officers, Deportation Officers, and docket clerks, and 200 additional detention beds.

   In addition, this level will fund the following safety, service and technology improvements at seaports: $4,153,000, 54 positions and 27 full time equivalents for new immigration inspectors at newly activated seaport terminals and current understaffed terminals; $2,273,000, 20 positions and 10 full time equivalents for joint INS/U.S. Customs units to analyze traveler information in advance of ship arrivals; and $5,545,000 for the automated entry/exit system and upgrades to the NAILS system. The INS is directed to ensure that it allocates funding for base activities, e.g. salaries and expenses, before it undertakes any enhancement activities. The INS shall report to the Committees on Appropriations as necessary should fee revenues decline more than five percent from October projections. Further, should additional fees become available, the INS may submit a reprogramming in accordance with section 605 of this Act.

   Immigration Examinations Fees.--The conference agreement includes a total of $1,376,871,000 to support the adjudication of applications for immigration benefits, the amount requested and proposed by the House, instead of $1,258,088,000 as proposed by the Senate. These funds are derived from offsetting collections from persons applying for immigration benefits, including collections from the premium-processing fee, and are in addition to $80,000,000 in new and continued direct appropriations provided under the Citizenship and Benefits, Immigration Support, and Program Direction account to eliminate the backlog in applications. The conference agreement reflects INS' revised revenue estimates for collections from existing fees, which is $118,783,000 higher than the amount assumed in the budget request and $407,020,000 above the amount available in fiscal year 2001. The conference agreement does not adopt the transfer of $127,834,000 from Examinations Fees funding to the Executive Office of Immigration Review or the transfer of $147,602,000 in activities from the Salaries and Expenses account to the Examinations Fees account, which were proposed by the Senate. The conference agreement adopts by reference House report language regarding the telephone customer service center and the indexing and conversion of INS microfilm images.

   Within the Examinations Fees account, the conference agreement provides $18,979,000 for adjustments to base as requested.

   Land Border Inspections Fees.--The conference agreement includes $4,490,000 in spending from the Land Border Inspection Fund, instead of $2,944,000 as proposed by the House and $1,714,000 as proposed by the Senate. This amount reflects revised estimates of collections. The revenues generated in this account are from Dedicated Commuter Lanes in Blaine and Port Roberts, Washington; Detroit Tunnel and Ambassador Bridge, Michigan; and Otay Mesa, California, as well as from Automated Permit Ports that provide pre-screened local border residents with border crossing privileges by means of automated inspections. The conference agreement adopts the Senate provision, which provides that the Attorney General may expand from 6 to 96 the number of ports of entry qualifying to participate in a fee pilot. The House did not address this matter.

   Immigration Breached Bond/Detention Fund.--The conference agreement includes $120,763,000 in spending from the Breached Bond/Detention Fund as proposed by the Senate, instead of $139,935,000 as proposed by the House. The conference agreement does not assume the reinstatement of section 245(i) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, which was proposed by the Senate. The conference agreement provides a $40,000,000 increase, as requested, to fund 1,407 additional detention beds, and $1,483,000 to fund vehicles to transport detainees. The agreement does not include the base transfer to the Breached Bond/Detention Fund account, as proposed in the Senate report.

   Immigration Enforcement Fines.--The conference agreement includes $22,664,000 in spending from Immigration Enforcement fines, instead of $12,994,000 as proposed by the House and $5,510,000 as proposed by the Senate. This level reflects the current estimate of revenues available in this account for fiscal year 2002.

   H-1B Fees.--The conference agreement includes $26,272,000 in spending from the H-1B Fee account, instead of $16,000,000 proposed by both the House and the Senate. This level reflects the current estimate of revenues available in this account for fiscal year 2002.

   CONSTRUCTION

   The conference agreement includes $128,454,000 for construction for INS as proposed by the House, instead of $205,015,000 as proposed by the Senate. This amount fully funds the Administration's request as proposed in the budget submission. This funding level does not include the Senate proposal to transfer funding from the Bureau of Prisons

[Page: H8008]

   The conference agreement includes language, as proposed by the House and carried in prior Appropriations Acts, prohibiting funds from being used for site acquisition, design, or construction of a checkpoint in the Tucson Sector. The Senate did not include a similar provision.

   Federal Prison System

   SALARIES AND EXPENSES

   The conference agreement includes $3,808,600,000 for the salaries and expenses of the Federal Prison System, instead of $3,830,971,000 as proposed by the House and $3,786,228,000 as proposed by the Senate. This funding level is an increase of $308,428,000 above the fiscal year 2001 amount. The conferees note that the Bureau of Prisons submitted a reprogramming on September 27, 2001, for $37,963,000 to meet increased utility costs incurred during fiscal year 2001.

   Activation of New Prisons.--The conference agreement includes an increase of $72,752,000 to activate a new medium security facility in Petersburg, Virginia and a high security facility in Lee County, Virginia.

   Equipment Funding.--The conference agreement also includes an increase of $9,100,000 for equipment funding the United States Prison in Canaan, Pennsylvania, and the Federal Corrections Institute in Glenville, West Virginia.

   Contract Confinement.--The conference agreement includes an increase of $47,443,000 to fund an additional 1,500 contract beds to accommodate the increasing number of criminal aliens and to support 1,499 general contract inmates beds, including 85 juvenile beds.

   The conference agreement provides that of the funding provided, $11,554,000 is for activation of the Atwater, California facility, and $13,323,000 is for the activation of the facility at Honolulu, Hawaii. The conference adopts by reference House language regarding drug treatment programs and establishment of faith-based and other pilots, and Senate language regarding a pilot internship at the prison at Yazoo City, Mississippi, $1,000,000 for a sexual misconduct study, and a feasibility study for Yazoo City, Mississippi. The conference agreement does not include bill language proposed by the Senate designating specific amounts for activation of specific prisons. The House bill did not include such language.

   BUILDINGS AND FACILITIES

   The conference agreement includes $813,552,000 for construction, modernization, maintenance, and repair of prison and detention facilities housing Federal prisoners, as provided by the House, instead of $899,797,000 as provided by the Senate.

   Management and Administration.--The conference agreement provides $37,795,000 for the management and administration of the Office of Justice Programs (OJP), instead of $43,491,000 as proposed by the House and $42,797,000 as proposed by the Senate. Funding is also provided from the ``Juvenile Justice'' and ``State and Local Law Enforcement Assistance'' accounts for the administration of grants under these activities. If additional management and administration funds are required, a request for reprogramming or transfer of funds, pursuant to Section 605 of this Act, should be submitted.

   The conferees recognize the selfless acts of our Nation's first responders following the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the United States. They are truly our first line of defense. The dedication, professionalism, and heroism of the men and women who serve as police officers, fire fighters, emergency medical personnel, and emergency managers, reflect the true spirit of this great Nation. The conferees extend their sincere gratitude on behalf of the nation to the fire companies, State and local police departments, and rescue squads who responded without hesitation to the emergencies in New York, Virginia, and Pennsylvania. In their efforts to rescue those in danger, some of these brave men and women made the ultimate sacrifice. The conferees also note that untold numbers of volunteers from States across the Nation also worked shoulder to shoulder in the rescue efforts, and their contributions in the face of this tragedy cannot be praised enough.

   The events of September 11 underscore how important it is that this country's first responders have the proper equipment and

   The conferees continue the direction regarding the distribution of general equipment grants only in accordance with Statewide plans. The conferees understand that these plans are currently being submitted to OJP.

   The conferees are not convinced that sufficient attention is being given to potential chemical and biological threats nationally. Within available resources of the research and development program, OJP should conduct a study, in conjunction with George Mason University, to determine the feasibility for the establishment of a national center for biodefense, which would include the research, development, and production of vaccines to combat biological terrorism.

   The conference agreement includes $7,000,000 to support counterterrorism activities of the Center on Catastrophe Preparedness and Response at New York University (NYU). NYU proposes to bring the expertise of its departments of biomedical science, environmental health, medicine, public health, dentistry, and nursing, among others, to bear on counterterrorism studies. The conferees urge OJP to work with the Center to assure that there is a sufficient focus on chemical and biological threats.

   The conferees are aware of the Joint Vulnerability Assessment Tool that provides the Department of Defense with an antiterrorism vulnerability assessment, risk management, and planning tool. OJP is directed to evaluate whether this program will be beneficial to State and local first responders and emergency planners, and fund its development if warranted.

   STATE AND LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT ASSISTANCE

   The conference agreement includes $2,403,354,000 for the State and Local Law Enforcement Assistance Program, instead of $2,519,575,000 as proposed by the House and $2,094,990,000 as proposed by the Senate. The conference agreement provides for the following programs:

   Local Law Enforcement Block Grant.--The conference agreement includes $400,000,000 for the Local Law Enforcement Block Grant program as proposed by the Senate, instead of $521,849,000 as proposed by the House. Within the amount provided, the conference agreement includes $70,000,000 for the Boys and Girls Clubs of America. The conferees expect the Boys and Girls Clubs of America to use a portion of these funds to carry out the Kids2000 Act (Public Law 106-313; 114 Stat. 1260).

   Cooperative Agreement Program.--The conference agreement includes $20,000,000 for the Cooperative Agreement Program, instead of $35,000,000 as proposed by the House and Senate. Currently, there is over $20,000,000 of unobligated balances available for this program. The conferees are concerned over the very high level of funding carried forward in the Cooperative Agreement Program. This program is intended to provide guaranteed State and local bed space for Federal detainees in USMS and INS custody. The conferees direct that the USMS, in consultation with INS, provide an implementation plan for these resources no later than January 15, 2002. The plan should include steps that USMS and INS intend to take to ensure that funding is obligated and this bed space is available.

   Tribal Prison Construction.--The conference agreement includes $35,191,000 for the prison construction program as proposed by both the House and Senate. The conferees expect OJP to examine each of the following proposals, provide grants if warranted, and submit a report on its intentions for each proposal: a NANA 28 bed jail for Kotzebue, Alaska; construction of a detention facility within the Spirit Lake Nation; construction of a detention facility for the Lower Brule Sioux Tribe; construction of a detention facility for the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians; and expansion of an adult detention facility for the Gila River Indian reservation.

   Edward Byrne Grants to States.--The conference agreement includes $594,489,000 for the Edward Byrne Memorial State and Local Law Enforcement Assistance Program, of which $94,489,000 is for discretionary grants and $500,000,000 is for formula grants under this program. Within the amounts provided for discretionary grants, OJP is expected to review the following proposals, provide grants if warranted, and report to the Committees on its intentions. In addition, up to 10 percent of the funds provided for each program shall be made available for an independent evaluation of that program.

   Violence Against Women Act.--The conference agreement includes $390,565,000 to support grants under the Violence Against Women Act, as proposed by both the House and Senate. The conference agreement provides funding under this account as follows:

                   

VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN ACT PROGRAMS
[Dollars in thousands]

	Amount
General Grants	$184,737
(National Institute of Justice)	(5,200)
(Safe Start Program)	(10,000)

Education and Training for Disabled Female Victims	7,500
Total	390,565

   The conference agreement adopts by reference Senate report language directing the Department to work with the State of Alaska, the Alaska Native community, and non-profit organizations involved in prevention and treatment of domestic violence to develop a Statewide plan to combat domestic violence.

   Substance Abuse Treatment for State Prisoners.--The conference agreement includes $70,000,000 for grants to States and units of local government for development and implementation of residential substance abuse treatment programs within State correctional facilities and certain local correctional and detention facilities. The conference agreement adopts by reference the House report language regarding expanding the use of these grants to provide treatment for released State prisoners.

   Juvenile Accountability Incentive Block Grant.--The conference agreement includes $249,450,000 for the Juvenile Accountability Incentive Block Grant program as proposed by the House and Senate. Within this amount, $38,000,000 is available for Project ChildSafe, an initiative that will ensure gun safety locks are available for every handgun in America. An additional $12,000,000 is included for gun safety locks under Juvenile Justice, for a total funding level of $50,000,000.

   The conferees support the use of gun safety locks and encourage the distribution of safety locks to handgun owners. However, the conferees are concerned with reports that some of these safety locks have failed or do not work on certain handguns. The conferees understand that the Department of Justice is reviewing the availability of national standards for gun safety locks, and that private industry groups have also sought the promulgation of such standards. The Department of Justice is directed to work with various Federal agencies, private industry groups, and other interested parties in the development of national standards for gun safety locks. Funds recommended for Project ChildSafe may be used to offset the cost of this effort. Until such national standards are established, or interim standards identified, no funds shall be obligated for the purchase and distribution of gun safety locks and only locks that meet these standards should be purchased and distributed.

   The conferees direct the Department of Justice to submit a report by January 15, 2002 that: (1) reports the status of the development of interim and national standards for handgun safety locks; (2) provides cost estimates for gun safety locks based on the new national standards; and (3) describes how funding for gun safety locks will be distributed to the States.

   Senior Citizens Against Marketing Scams.--The conference agreement includes $1,995,000 for programs to assist law enforcement in preventing and stopping marketing scams against the elderly. The conference agreement adopts by reference the Senate report language requesting OJP to conduct some program sessions at the National Advocacy Center and to coordinate efforts with the Federal Trade Commission.

   WEED AND SEED PROGRAM FUND

   The conference agreement includes $58,925,000 for the Weed and Seed program, as proposed by both the House and Senate.

   COMMUNITY ORIENTED POLICING SERVICES

   The conference agreement includes $1,050,440,000 for the Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS), instead of $1,013,498,000 as proposed by the House and $1,049,659,000 as proposed by the Senate. The conference agreement provides funding under this account as follows:

   COPS Hiring Program.--The conference agreement includes $330,000,000 for the COPS hiring program, with up to $180,000,000 available for the hiring of school resource officers. The conferees understand that approximately $55,000,000 is available in recoveries. Language has been included making these recoveries available for the direct hiring of law enforcement officers through the COPS Hiring Program.

   The conference agreement includes language that allows technology grants to be made from fiscal year 2002 direct appropriations under the COPS Hiring Program not subject to redeployment tracking requirements. However, the conferees expect that requests for technology funds will still demonstrate the time savings expected from implementing these technology grants.

   Police Corps.--The conference agreement includes $14,435,000 for the Police Corps Program. The conferees understand that the Police Corps program has sufficient unobligated balances available to allow the program to maintain its activities in fiscal year 2002 at the prior year level.

   TITLE IV--DEPARTMENT OF STATE AND RELATED AGENCY

   DEPARTMENT OF STATE

   Administration of Foreign Affairs

   DIPLOMATIC AND CONSULAR PROGRAMS

   The conference agreement includes a total of $3,630,012,000 for Diplomatic and Consular Programs, instead of $3,645,735,000 as included in the House bill and $3,471,168,000 as included in the Senate bill. The conference agreement includes $3,142,277,000 for State Department activities under this account, and an additional $487,735,000 to remain available until expended for worldwide security upgrades.

   The conference agreement provides $361,360,000 in requested program increases to improve diplomatic readiness and the security of Department operations, as follows:

   Diplomatic Readiness.--The conference agreement includes a program increase of $106,895,000, the full amount requested, for increased staffing. The conferees expect this amount to support the hiring of 360 new employees in fiscal year 2002. In addition, the

[Page: H8026]

   Secure Operations.--The conference agreement includes program increases of $79,412,000 to improve information and telephone security, upgrade the Department's technical and domestic security efforts, and hire an additional 186 diplomatic security employees, including 86 special agents.

   Information Technology Investments.--The conference agreement includes a program increase of $102,746,000 for information technology operations and maintenance, representing a shift of all such costs from the Capital Investment Fund, which will allow the full amount in that account to be available for technology investments.

   Overseas Infrastructure.--The conference agreement includes program increases of $53,807,000 for improvements to the overseas diplomatic support platform provided by the Department. This amount includes $18,650,000 for the replacement of obsolete equipment, $5,000,000 for the replacement of unreliable motor vehicles, $10,000,000 to improve critical operations and maintenance services, $5,300,000 to improve competitiveness of compensation packages offered to foreign national employees, and $14,857,000 to support the consolidation of worldwide financial functions.

   Further guidance on these and other programs and activities of the Department are offered below.

   The conference agreement includes language designating $270,259,000 for public diplomacy international information programs as proposed in the House bill. The Senate bill did not contain a similar provision. This amount represents the full requested funding level for these program activities. Within the amount provided, the conferees expect that the top priority in resource allocation will be programs related to the effort to combat terrorism. A strong and sustained public diplomacy campaign that successfully communicates objective facts and official messages and policies to target audiences abroad will be critical to the success of this effort. The conferees expect the Department to draw upon the best minds available, inside and outside the Federal government, to develop and convey these messages and policies.

   The conference agreement includes language designating $694,190,000 for information resource management as proposed in the Senate bill. The House bill did not contain a similar provision. This amount represents the full requested funding level for these activities. The conferees note that this amount includes funding for the Diplomatic Telecommunications Service--Program Office (DTS-PO), formerly included under the Capital Investment Fund. In recognition of continuing management challenges regarding DTS-PO, the conferees direct the Department to submit a fiscal year 2002 DTS-PO spending plan to the Committees through the regular reprogramming process before December 15, 2001.

   The conference agreement does not include language proposed in the Senate bill designating $7,800,000 for language, security, leadership, management and professional training. The House bill did not include a similar provision. The conferees expect that, within the funding available under this account, the Department will allocate a similar total to such training programs.

   The conference agreement does not include language proposed in the Senate bill designating $6,000,000 for transfer to the Department of Justice for conversion of State Department radio systems to narrowband. The House bill did not include a similar provision.

   The conference agreement does not include language earmarking $9,000,000 for the East-West Center, as proposed in the Senate bill. The House bill did not contain a similar provision. Funding for the East-West Center is addressed under a separate heading in this title.

   The conference agreement does not include an earmark of $5,000,000 under this account, as proposed in the Senate bill, for a payment to the State of Hawaii for security costs incurred as host of the May, 2001 Asian Development Bank Meeting. The House bill did not include a provision on this matter.

   The conference agreement includes a provision, not in the House bill or the Senate bill, to allow the Department to collect and deposit Machine Readable Visa fees as offsetting collections to this account in fiscal years 2002 and 2003 to recover costs. The conference agreement does not include provisions to limit the use of Machine Readable Visa fees in fiscal year 2002 and to make excess collections available in the subsequent fiscal year, as carried in both the House and Senate bills.

   The conference agreement does not include language proposed in the Senate bill regarding the extension of Federal allowances and benefits to an American employee of the World Intellectual Property Organization. The House bill did not include a provision on this matter. The conferees expect the Department to make every effort within existing laws and regulations to ensure that this and similar positions with international organizations carry with them appropriate allowances and benefits as befit their status.

   In addition, the conferees are concerned by General Accounting Office findings that the United Nations (U.N.) and affiliated organizations continue to fall short of targets for the number of American employees. The conferees strongly encourage the Department to increase resources to recruit qualified Americans for positions in the U.N. system, and to work to remove pay and benefits disincentives to such employment. The conferees direct the Department to report to the Committees on Appropriations no later than March 15, 2002 on what actions can be taken to address these pay, allowances, and benefits concerns.

   The conference agreement does not include language carried in last year's Act allowing certain advances for services related to the Panama Canal Commission to be credited to this account and to remain available until expended, as proposed in the Senate bill. The conferees understand that such amounts were credited to this account during fiscal year 2001 and remain available until expended, and that this provision is no longer necessary.

   The conference agreement does not include language proposed in the Senate bill designating a total of $45,419,000 for the implementation of the 1999 Pacific Salmon Treaty Agreement. The conference agreement addresses funding for this treaty under Title II of this Act, as proposed in the House bill.

   The conference agreement includes language making $1,343,000 available from fees collected from other executive agencies for lease or use of facilities at the International Center, as proposed in the House bill. The Senate bill proposed making $1,252,000 available for such purposes.

   The conference agreement includes a citation of authorization legislation carried in previous years. The Senate bill proposed the deletion of this citation.

   The conference agreement includes new language designating $1,800,000 for a grant to conduct an international conference on combating sex trafficking. The conferees expect the Department's newly-established Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons to oversee this conference as a public/private partnership, working closely with the War Against Trafficking Alliance, a consortium of non-governmental organizations, including Shared Hope International, the International Justice Mission, and the Salvation Army. In addition, the conferees encourage the Department to assist other international cooperative efforts to fight trafficking in persons, including providing up to $200,000 for an upcoming conference on human rights challenges associated with trafficking, sponsored by the Globalization Research Center of the University of Hawaii at Manoa.

   The conferees direct the Department to allocate $5,000,000 for overseas continuing language education for employees and dependents as described in the Senate report.

   The conferees direct the Department to report to the Committees on Appropriations on the Bureau of Consular Affairs' programs to assist Americans who have been the victims of violent crimes while traveling or studying overseas. The report shall evaluate the current services provided by the Office of Overseas Citizens Affairs and the adequacy of resources available to it for this purpose. This report shall consider whether and what data should be collected on individual incidents and made available to victims. The report shall also consider whether a database containing information about grants available to assist victims with the high costs associated with the prosecution of a perpetrator in foreign countries--particularly remote or judicially unsophisticated foreign countries--is merited. Finally, the report shall determine how best to make this information available to victims. The conferees expect that Internet technology will be utilized to accomplish this.

   Within the amount provided under this heading, the conferees direct the Department to make $500,000 available to the Northern Forum to support efforts to improve international communication, cooperation and opportunities for economic growth in northern regions of countries including the United States, Canada, China, Finland, Sweden, Japan, and Russia. This funding is provided with the expectation of matching funding from other contributions.

   The conferees continue to be concerned about the security of classified information at the Department. The conferees understand that Federal requirements for storage of classified information mandate that containers approved by the General Services Administration are secured with locks that meet or exceed Federal specifications.

   The conferees understand that a community of democracies conference is planned for October, 2002, in Seoul.

   CAPITAL INVESTMENT FUND

   The conference agreement includes $203,000,000 for the Capital Investment Fund as proposed in the House bill, instead of $210,000,000 as proposed in the Senate bill. This amount, when combined with estimated expedited passport fees of $63,000,000, will result in a total availability of $266,000,000 for priority new technology investments. Costs associated with information technology operations and maintenance, formerly supported by amounts under this heading, are instead included under the Diplomatic and Consular Programs account.

   The conferees agree that, from the total available funding under this heading, $106,600,000 shall be for the replacement of computer and communications equipment that posts use for classified operations, and $109,631,000 shall be for the expansion of desktop Internet access to all Department employees worldwide. The conference agreement includes, by reference, language in the House report regarding the submission of a performance plan and report for these two major initiatives.

   Deviations from this distribution of funds will be subject to the normal reprogramming procedures under section 605 of this Act. In addition, the conferees understand that at least $2,200,000 from carryover and recovered balances will be available for obligation in fiscal year 2002. Of this additional amount, the conferees agree to the following allocations: $250,000 for the Irish Institute, $250,000 for the Atlantic Corridor, $300,000 for the Citizen Exchanges Program, $200,000 for the North/South Center, $300,000 for exchanges related to workforce development in Africa as described in both the House and Senate reports, $400,000 for exchanges to build linkages between American and foreign musicians and musical institutions as described in the House report, and $500,000 for one-time seed funding for five new exchange activities as listed in the Senate chart. Should additional carryover and recovered balances become available, the conferees encourage the Department to consider a proposal for funding from International Partners in Education. The conferees remind the Department that the use of additional carryover beyond that distributed above is subject to the reprogramming requirements described in section 605 of this Act.

   The conference agreement includes language that limits spending from fee collections to $2,000,000 as proposed in the House bill, instead of $800,000 as proposed in the Senate bill. The conference agreement also includes language authorizing the crediting of fees from exchange visitor programs to this account as proposed in the House bill.

   With respect to exchanges with the successor states of the former Soviet Union, the conferees agree that funding under this heading shall be allocated in recognition of significant amounts available for similar programs via transfer from other funding sources. Accordingly, the Department shall not earmark a percentage allocation of funds provided under this heading to exchanges for that geographic region. Instead, resources under this heading shall be allocated to ensure that the total funding available from all sources for exchange programs does not include geographical inequalities that do not correspond with worldwide policy priorities. The conferees direct the Department to submit a report to the Committees by January 15, 2002, displaying the allocation of total fiscal year 2002 funding from all sources, and total funding under this heading, by geographical region. The report should also include a similar display of fiscal year 2001 actual funding allocations.

   The conference agreement includes $250,000 for the Muskie Fellowships for graduate student exchanges with states of the former Soviet Union. The conferees expect that approximately $20,000,000 will be made available from other sources in fiscal year 2002 for such exchanges. Within the total amounts made available for such exchanges the conferees urge the Department to place the highest priority on students conducting research or undertaking language training related to the Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan.

   The conferees agree that the Department, in cooperation with other relevant Federal agencies, should give higher priority to international education and should coordinate efforts to promote exchange programs and U.S. higher education abroad.

   The conference agreement includes, by reference, language in the House report on the Congress-Bundestag Youth Exchange Program, the Working Group on International Exchanges and Training, and increased competition in grant programs. The conference agreement also includes language in the Senate report on overseas educational advising.

   The conferees are aware of the economic and cultural exchange program, as well as the proposed ``sister state'' relationship being developed between the City of Lake Charles, Louisiana and the Tver Region of Russia. The conferees support these efforts and encourage the Department to consider supporting the program.

   REPRESENTATION ALLOWANCES

   The conference agreement includes $6,485,000 for Representation Allowances as proposed in the House bill, instead of $9,000,000 as proposed in the Senate bill.

   PROTECTION OF FOREIGN MISSIONS AND OFFICIALS

   EMBASSY SECURITY, CONSTRUCTION, AND MAINTENANCE

   The conference agreement includes $1,273,960,000 for this account, instead of $1,285,960,000 as proposed in the House bill and $1,066,951,000 as proposed in the Senate bill.

   Worldwide Security Upgrades.--The conference agreement includes $815,960,000 for the costs of worldwide security upgrades, including $136,680,000 for continuation of the perimeter security program and $665,000,000 for capital security projects.

   The conferees agree that the amount for capital security projects does not include requirements associated with the construction

[Page: H8028]

   The conferees understand that the Department recently realized significant savings as a result of re-evaluating the budget plans for a number of ongoing and planned capital security projects. The conferees expect that the resulting savings will allow the Department to accomplish results under this program that significantly exceed the level of activity described in the budget request. The conferees commend the Department, and encourage the achievement of additional efficiencies that will reduce the cost and increase the pace of standing up new, secure replacement embassy and consular facilities.

   The conferees direct the Department to submit a spending plan for worldwide security upgrades within sixty days of the date of enactment of this Act through the normal reprogramming process. In proposing such a spending plan, the Department shall include an assessment of need, and such funding as is appropriate, for security upgrades related to existing housing, schools, and Marine quarters.

   Other Capital Programs.--The conference agreement includes $15,000,000 to be allocated for capital projects that are not based primarily on security vulnerability. The conferees agree that this amount shall not be for a specific project designated in the Department's budget request. The conferees are aware of other non-security capital funding needs, including projects that correspond with proposed post openings, that may be priorities for funding under this activity. The conferees expect the Department to include an allocation of this funding in the spending plan described in the previous paragraph.

   The conference agreement includes, by reference, language in the House report on immediate notification of security risks, administrative costs, responding to the recommendations of the Overseas Presence Advisory Panel, and assets management.

   The Department is directed to submit, and receive approval for, a financial plan for the funding provided under this account, whether from direct appropriations or proceeds of sales, prior to the obligation or expenditure of funds for capital and rehabilitation projects. The overall spending plan shall include project-level detail, and shall be provided to the Committees on Appropriations not later than 60 days after the date of enactment of this Act. Any deviation from the plan after approval shall be treated as a reprogramming in the case of an addition greater than $500,000, or as a notification in the case of a deletion, a project cost overrun exceeding 25 percent, or a project schedule delay exceeding 6 months. Notification requirements also extend to the re-baselining of a given project's cost estimate, schedule, or scope of work.

   EMERGENCIES IN THE DIPLOMATIC AND CONSULAR SERVICE

   The conference agreement includes $6,500,000 for Emergencies in the Diplomatic and Consular Service account, instead of $10,000,000 as provided in the House bill and $5,465,000 as provided in the Senate bill. The conferees understand that an additional $3,500,000 is available from prior year balances, resulting in a total fiscal year 2002 availability of $10,000,000 under this account. In addition, the conferees understand that at least $20,750,000 for terrorism rewards and publicity was made available under this account in Public Law 107-38 to respond to the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States.

   REPATRIATION LOANS PROGRAM ACCOUNT

   CONTRIBUTIONS TO INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS

   The conference agreement includes language requiring that $100,000,000 may be made available to the U.N. only pursuant to a certification that it has taken no action during calendar year 2001 prior to the enactment of this Act to cause it to exceed the adopted budget for the biennium 2000-2001, as proposed in the House bill. The Senate bill did not include a provision on this matter.

   The amount provided by the conference agreement is expected to be sufficient to fully pay assessments to international organizations. The conference agreement anticipates that the Department has prepaid $15,200,000 of the fiscal year 2002 assessment for the U.N. regular budget, using excess fiscal year 2001 funds. In addition, the Department's recalculation of its fiscal year 2001 request for this account has resulted in a lowering of the request by an additional $2,400,000, resulting primarily from exchange rate fluctuations. The conference agreement does not include requested funding for Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development headquarters renovation, and anticipates additional savings related to requested activities that are terminating or have yet to be established.

   In recognition of the importance of the work of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), the conference agreement includes full funding for the United States assessment to ICAO. This amount will include support for new and expanded programs in safety and security.

   The conference agreement also includes full funding for the United States assessment to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). The conferees recognize the importance of the role played by the IAEA in efforts to enact stronger global measures to protect nuclear material and facilities against potential acts of terrorism.

   The conference agreement includes, by reference, language in the House report on international war crimes tribunals. The conferees urge the Department to work with the U.N. and the tribunals to establish full-time U.N. Office of Internal Oversight Services positions at each of the international tribunals to improve internal controls and to prevent and detect fraud.

   The conference agreement also adopts, by reference, language in the House report concerning withdrawal from certain organizations, international organizations reform, and the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), and directs the Department to provide PAHO with its full United States assessment level for fiscal year 2002.

   CONTRIBUTIONS FOR INTERNATIONAL PEACEKEEPING ACTIVITIES

   The conference agreement provides $844,139,000 for Contributions for International Peacekeeping Activities as proposed in the House bill, instead of $773,182,000 as proposed in the Senate bill. The conference agreement does not include a rescission of $126,600,000 from this account as proposed in title VII of the Senate bill.

   The conference agreement provides that of the total funding provided under this heading fifteen percent shall remain available until September 30, 2003, as proposed in the Senate bill. The House bill had no provision on the matter. The conferees expect that before any excess funding is carried over into fiscal year 2003 in this account, the Department shall transfer the maximum allowable amount to the Contributions to International Organizations account to prepay the fiscal year 2003 assessment for the U.N. regular budget.

   The conference agreement includes language regarding equal opportunities for American suppliers and a prohibition on funding for court monitoring as proposed in the House bill. The Senate bill did not include provisions on these matters.

   The conferees acknowledge the progress made by the UNAMSIL mission in Sierra Leone, but remain concerned about the sincerity of the former combatant groups' commitments to peace and a democratic process. The Committees intend to closely monitor the activities of this mission, and to hold the Department and the U.N. accountable for achieving the goals of the current concept of operation.

   The conference agreement includes, by reference, language in the House report on the MINURSO mission in Western Sahara, U.N. peacekeeping reform, and the U.N.'s Office of Internal Oversight Services.

   SALARIES AND EXPENSES

The conference report does not include language in the House report concerning a certain flood warning system.

   CONSTRUCTION

   The conference agreement includes $5,450,000 for the Construction account of the IBWC, instead of $5,520,000 as proposed in the House bill and $24,154,000 as proposed in the Senate bill. The conferees urge the IBWC to continue cooperative efforts to seek effective, timely and cost-efficient ways to increase the capacity to process excess sewage flows from Mexico. The conferees note that the IBWC and the Department have not yet entered into the dialogue on this matter with the Republic of Mexico that is described in title VIII of Public Law 106-457. The conferees direct the IBWC to report to the Committees on or before March 1, 2002, on proposed short-term and longer-term measures to advance a resolution of this issue.

The conference agreement includes the funding distribution requested in the President's budget, plus an additional $700,000 for the Great Lakes Fisheries Commission, including $250,000 for treating Lake Champlain with lampricide and lampricide alternatives. The conferees expect that future funding requirements under this account for the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission will be less than the $2,300,000 provided for fiscal year 2002. The conference agreement includes the full requested funding for the Inter-American Sea Turtle Convention Commission.

   Other

   The conference agreement includes $428,234,000 for International Broadcasting Operations, instead of $453,106,000 as proposed in the House bill and $414,752,000 as proposed in the Senate bill. Rather than funding broadcasting to Cuba under this account, as proposed in the House bill, all funding for broadcasting to Cuba is included under a separate account, as proposed in the Senate bill.

   The conference agreement includes full requested funding for an initiative to improve and enhance Voice of America (VOA) Arabic broadcasting to the Middle East, as described in the House report. Combined with funding provided under Public Law 107-38, the amount provided under this heading will enable the Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG) to fully implement this initiative, including broadcasting to Sudan. The BBG shall report to the Committees on Appropriations by March 1, 2002, on proposed performance goals and measures for this new activity.

   The conferees expect that the VOA will not air interviews with any official from nations that sponsor terrorism or any representative or member of terrorist organizations, or otherwise afford such individuals opportunities to air inaccurate, propagandistic, or inflammatory messages.

   The conference agreement includes $1,000,000 for the Congressional-Executive Commission on the People's Republic of China, instead of $500,000 as proposed in both the House and Senate bills.

   Equal Employment Opportunity Commission

   SALARIES AND EXPENSES

   The conference agreement includes $310,406,000 for the salaries and expenses of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, as proposed in both the House and Senate bills.

   Within the total amount, the conference agreement includes $30,000,000 for payments to State and local Fair Employment Practices Agencies (FEPAs) for specific services to the Commission as proposed in the House bill, instead of $33,000,000 as proposed in the Senate bill. The conference agreement includes, by reference, language in the House report regarding the reduction of the backlog of private sector charges, alternative dispute resolution, contract mediation, and utilizing the experience the FEPAs have in mediation as the Commission continues its alternative dispute resolution programs.

   Federal Communications Commission

   SALARIES AND EXPENSES

   The conference agreement includes a total of $245,071,000 for the salaries and expenses of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), instead of $238,597,000 as provided in the House bill, and $252,545,000 as proposed in the Senate bill. Of the amounts provided, $218,757,000 is to be derived from offsetting fee collections, as provided in both the House and Senate bills, resulting in a net direct appropriation of $26,314,000.

   The conference agreement does not include Senate report language regarding excellence in engineering. The conferees recommend that the Commission pursue a modified approach to an ``Excellence in Engineering'' effort. The purpose of this effort would be to reestablish the engineering preeminence of the Commission, which must be more fluent in technology than the entities it regulates. The conferees recommend that the Commission establish a means by which colleges and universities may submit proposals to advance cooperative efforts towards excellence in engineering. Before any actions are taken in this regard, the Commission shall submit a report to the Committees on Appropriations under the provisions of Section 605 of this Act.

   The conferees reiterate concerns about the declining standards of broadcast television and the impact of this decline on America's children. The conferees expect the FCC to continue in its efforts to address these concerns.

   Federal Maritime Commission

   SALARIES AND EXPENSES

   The conference agreement includes $16,458,000 for the salaries and expenses of the Federal Maritime Commission, instead of $15,466,000 as proposed in the House bill and $17,450,000 as proposed in the Senate bill.

   Federal Trade Commission

   SALARIES AND EXPENSES

   The conference agreement includes $155,982,000 for the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) as proposed by the House, instead of $156,270,000 as proposed by the Senate. This amount will be offset with Hart-Scott-Rodino fee collections, regardless of the year of collection, resulting in no direct appropriations. The conference agreement adopts the Senate bill language structure.

   The conferees believe that the FTC should continue to expand its efforts in child protection and expect the Commission to engage in the three initiatives described in the Senate report in fiscal year 2002: consumer research and workshops, an underage shopper-retail compliance survey, and marketing and data collection. In addition, the conferees expect the FTC to continue its efforts with monitoring the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act.

   The conferees are concerned about children gambling through the Internet. The FTC is directed to monitor online gambling sites to determine if these sites are being marketed to children and if proper procedures are in place to prevent participation in gambling activities by persons too young to gamble. The FTC should prepare materials to educate parents about online gambling and its availability to children, and keep the Committees on Appropriations apprised of its efforts in this area.

   Legal Services Corporation

   PAYMENT TO THE LEGAL SERVICES CORPORATION

   The conference agreement includes $329,300,000 for the payment to the Legal Services Corporation, as proposed by the House and Senate.

   ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS--LEGAL SERVICES CORPORATION

   The conference agreement includes language to continue the terms and conditions included under this section in previous Appropriations Acts. The conference agreement includes House language regarding a legal correction to the provisions.

   Marine Mammal Commission

   SALARIES AND EXPENSES

   The conference agreement includes $1,957,000 for the salaries and expenses of the Marine Mammal Commission, as proposed in the Senate bill, instead of $1,732,000 as proposed in the House bill. Senate report language regarding a workshop is included by reference.

   National Veterans Business Development Corporation

   The conference agreement includes $4,000,000 for the Corporation, as proposed in both the House and Senate bills.

   Pacific Charter Commission

   SALARIES AND EXPENSES

   The conference agreement includes $1,500,000 for the Pacific Charter Commission, instead of $2,500,000 as proposed in the House bill. The Senate bill did not include funding for the Commission.

   Securities and Exchange Commission

   SALARIES AND EXPENSES

   The conference agreement includes $437,900,000 for the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as proposed in the House bill, instead of $514,047,000 as proposed in the Senate bill. The conference agreement appropriates $109,500,000 from fees collected in previous fiscal years, and $328,400,000 from fees to be collected in fiscal year 2002.

   The conference agreement includes language to allow certain offsetting collections to continue to be credited to this account, as

[Page: H8031]

   Any offsetting fee collections in fiscal year 2002 in excess of $328,400,000 will remain available for the Securities and Exchange Commission in future years through the regular appropriations process.

   The conference agreement includes, by reference, language in the Senate report on Internet fraud and the Office of Economic Analysis, and language in the House report commending recent SEC actions to increase enforcement of disclosure rules.

   Small Business Administration

   SALARIES AND EXPENSES

   The conference agreement provides an appropriation of $308,476,000 for the Small Business Administration (SBA) Salaries and Expenses account, instead of $310,581,000 as proposed in the House bill and $333,233,000 as proposed in the Senate bill.

   Operating Expenses.--The conference agreement provides a total of $161,482,000 for SBA's regular operating expenses under this account. In addition, a total of $138,854,000 may be transferred to and merged with this account for indirect operating costs from the Business Loans and Disaster Loans program accounts. The conferees also agree that the SBA will have an additional $3,000,000 in fee receipts available for operating expenses. This will result in a total availability of $303,336,000 for the operating expenses of the SBA, an increase of $6,800,000 above the comparable fiscal year 2001 amount.

   Relationship with Budget Office.--The conferees expect that Committee inquiries and requests for information and assistance will continue to be coordinated primarily through SBA's Office of the Chief Financial Officer, as is consistent with Committee relationships with the various departments and agencies covered under this Act. The workload generated in the budget process is large and growing, and therefore, a positive, responsive relationship, such as the one that exists between the Committees and the Office of the Chief Financial Officer, is absolutely essential to the appropriations process.

   Systems Modernization.--The conference agreement does not include any new funding for systems modernization and workforce transformation. Systems modernization expenditures during fiscal year 2002 from funds provided in previous fiscal years shall be subject to the submission of project spending plans through the reprogramming process in accordance with section 605 of this Act. In early 2001, the SBA revised the scope of the loan monitoring system (LMS) project to focus it on lender oversight and risk management. The conferees direct the SBA to develop a project plan that will provide a basis for future funding and oversight of project activities. The project plan should include: a statement of the objectives and scope of the revised LMS project; the relationship of each business process to mission objectives and performance goals; project management organization information; and a schedule of major project activities, each with a description of accountable officials, resource requirements, deliverables, costs to completion, and target completion dates. The project plan should be updated quarterly and made available to the Committees.

   The conferees remain skeptical that the SBA can productively use all the funding obligated to FEDSIM for the loan monitoring system in fiscal year 2002. As an alternative, the conferees expect the SBA to use part of the available systems modernization funding to implement phase II of the joint accounting and administrative system project where the spending would bring about meaningful and more immediate efficiencies to the operation of the SBA.

   Non-Credit Programs.--The conference agreement includes the following amounts for non-credit programs. No funding shall be allocated for programs not listed:

   $88,000,000

   3,600,000

   17,500,000

   5,000,000

   500,000

   12,000,000

   694,000

   750,000

   3,100,000

   1,100,000

   3,000,000

   500,000

   3,000,000

   5,000,000

   750,000

   2,000,000

   500,000

   146,994,000

   Small Business Development Centers (SBDCs).--Of the amounts provided for SBDCs, the conference agreement includes $2,000,000 to continue the SBDC Defense transition program, and $1,000,000 to continue the Environmental Compliance Project, as directed in the House report. In addition, the conference agreement includes language, as proposed in the Senate bill, making funds for the SBDC program available for two years. The conference agreement does not include language proposed in the Senate bill earmarking funds for a certain grant program.

   The conference agreement adopts language included in the House report directing the SBA to fully fund LowDoc Processing Centers, to continue activities assisting small businesses to adapt to a paperless procurement environment, and to improve the credibility of budget requests. The conference agreement also adopts language in the Senate report regarding the submission of a plan for the collocation of SBA assistance centers.

   OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL

   The conference agreement provides $11,464,000 for the SBA Office of Inspector General, instead of $11,927,000 as proposed in the House bill and $11,000,000 as proposed in the Senate bill. The conference agreement does not include language in the Senate report on OIG activities.

   An additional $500,000 has been provided under the administrative expenses of the Disaster Loans program account to be made available to the Office of Inspector General for work associated with oversight of the Disaster Loans program.

   BUSINESS LOANS PROGRAM ACCOUNT

   The conference agreement includes $208,860,000 under the SBA Business Loans program account, instead of $217,500,000 as proposed in the House bill and $224,360,000 as proposed in the Senate-reported amendment.

   The conference agreement includes $1,860,000 for the costs of direct loans as proposed in the Senate bill, instead of $1,500,000 as proposed in the House bill. This amount will support an estimated fiscal year 2002 program level of over $27,000,000.

   7(a) General Business Loans.--The conference agreement provides $78,000,000 in subsidy appropriations for the 7(a) general business guaranteed loan program, instead of $87,000,000 as proposed in the House bill and $93,500,000 as proposed in the Senate bill. When combined with an estimated $22,000,000 in available carryover balances and recoveries, this amount will subsidize an estimated fiscal year 2002 program level of up to $9,435,000,000, assuming a subsidy rate of 1.07%. In addition, the conference agreement includes a provision, as proposed in both the House and Senate bills, requiring the SBA to notify the Committees in accordance with section 605 of this Act prior to providing a total program level greater than $10,000,000,000.

   The conference agreement includes required language placing program level limitations on the 504 CDC and the SBIC programs instead of similar language in both the House and Senate reports.

   The conferees are concerned that the Administration's prevailing subsidy rate model uses assumptions that do not reflect recent program performance of either the 7(a) program or the 504 program, resulting in the possibility that borrowers and lenders pay higher than necessary fees to participate in the programs. The conferees direct the SBA to work with OMB to develop a new methodology that more accurately calculates the default rates for these programs while efforts are underway to shift to a full econometric analysis model, and to submit a progress report to the Committees by January 15, 2002. The conferees further expect that the results of this new methodology will be reflected in a reduced appropriations requirement for the 7(a) program in the SBA's fiscal year 2003 budget request.

   In addition, the conference agreement includes $129,000,000 for administrative expenses to carry out the direct and guaranteed loan programs as proposed in both the House and Senate bills, and makes such funds available to be transferred to and merged with appropriations for Salaries and Expenses.

   DISASTER LOANS PROGRAM ACCOUNT

   The conference agreement includes a total of $209,714,000 for this account, of which $87,360,000 is for the subsidy costs for disaster loans and $122,354,000 is for administrative expenses associated with the disaster loans program. The House bill proposed $84,510,000 for loans and $120,354,000 for administrative expenses. The Senate bill provided $79,510,000 for loans and $125,354,000 for administrative expenses.

   For disaster loans, the conference agreement assumes that the $87,360,000 subsidy appropriation, when combined with $30,000,000 in carryover balances and recoveries, will provide a total disaster loan program level of $800,000,000.

   The conference agreement includes language, as proposed in both the House and Senate bills, designating amounts for direct and indirect administrative expenses, and allowing appropriations for indirect administrative costs to be transferred to and merged with appropriations for Salaries and Expenses under certain conditions. The conference agreement includes $112,000,000 for direct administrative expenses, and $9,854,000 for indirect administrative expenses. The amount provided for direct administrative expenses, when combined with an estimated $3,000,000 in carryover balances, will provide a total of $115,000,000 for this activity.

   The conference agreement includes a provision that any amount in excess of $9,854,000 to be transferred to Salaries and Expenses from the Disaster Loans Program account for indirect administrative expenses shall be treated as a reprogramming of funds under section 605 of this Act. In addition, any such

[Page: H8032]

   Of the amounts provided for administrative expenses under this heading, $500,000 is to be transferred to and merged with the Office of Inspector General account for oversight and audit activities related to the Disaster Loans program.

   ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISION--SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION

   The conference agreement includes a provision providing SBA with the authority to transfer funds between appropriations accounts as proposed in both the House and Senate bills.

   State Justice Institute

   SALARIES AND EXPENSES

   The conference agreement provides $3,000,000 for the State Justice Institute, instead of $6,835,000 as proposed by the House and $6,225,000 as proposed by the Senate. These funds are available for fiscal year 2002 only. The conferees do not recommend continued Federal support for the Institute beyond fiscal year 2002. The termination of funding for this program does not necessarily mean the dissolution of the Institute. The conferees encourage the Institute to solicit private donations and resources from State and local agencies.

   United States--Canada Alaska Rail Commission

   SALARIES AND EXPENSES

   The conference agreement includes $2,000,000 for a new commission to explore the feasibility of connecting continental railway systems to the Alaska railway, instead of $4,000,000 as proposed in the Senate bill. The House bill did not include funding for this commission.

   TITLE VI--GENERAL PROVISIONS

   The conference agreement includes the following general provisions:

   Sec. 601.--The conference agreement includes section 601, identical in both the House and Senate bills, regarding the use of appropriations for publicity or propaganda purposes.

   Sec. 602.--The conference agreement includes section 602, identical in both the House and Senate bills, regarding the availability of appropriations for obligation beyond the current fiscal year.

   Sec. 603.--The conference agreement includes section 603, identical in both the House and Senate bills, regarding the use of funds for consulting services.

   Sec. 604.--The conference agreement includes section 604, as proposed in the House bill, providing that should any provision of the Act be held to be invalid, the remainder of the Act would not be affected. The Senate bill did not include this provision, which has been carried in previous years.

   Sec. 605.--The conference agreement includes section 605, identical in both the House and Senate bills, establishing the policy by which funding available to the agencies funded under this Act may be reprogrammed for other purposes.

   Sec. 606.--The conference agreement includes section 606, identical to the House bill and section 607 in the Senate bill, regarding the construction, repair or modification of National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration vessels in overseas shipyards.

   Sec. 607.--The conference agreement includes section 607, as proposed in the House bill, regarding the purchase of American-made products. The Senate bill did not include this provision, which has been carried in previous years.

   Sec. 608.--The conference agreement includes section 608, as proposed in the House bill, which prohibits funds in the bill from being used to implement, administer, or enforce any guidelines of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission similar to proposed guidelines covering harassment based on religion published by the EEOC in October, 1993. The Senate bill included a similar provision as section 609 with a minor technical difference.

   Sec. 609.--The conference agreement includes section 609, as proposed in the House bill, prohibiting the use of funds for any United Nations peacekeeping mission that involves U.S. Armed Forces under the command or operational control of a foreign national unless the President certifies that the involvement is in the national security interest. The Senate bill included a similar provision as section 610 with a minor technical difference.

   Sec. 610.--The conference agreement includes section 610, identical to the House bill and section 611 in the Senate bill, that prohibits use of funds to expand the U.S. diplomatic presence in Vietnam beyond the level in effect on July 11, 1995, unless the President makes a certification that several conditions have been met regarding Vietnam's cooperation with the United States on POW/MIA issues.

   Sec. 611.--The conference agreement includes section 611, proposed as section 612 in the Senate bill, which permanently prohibits the use of funds appropriated or otherwise made available to provide certain amenities for Federal prisoners. The House bill included a similar provision as section 611, but did not propose to make the prohibition permanent or apply the prohibition to non-appropriated funds.

   Sec. 612.--The conference agreement includes section 612, modified from language proposed as section 604 in the Senate bill, regarding a restructuring of the Department of Justice to combat terrorism. The House bill did not include a provision on this matter.

   Sec. 613.--The conference agreement includes section 613, identical in both the House and Senate bills, which requires agencies and departments funded in this Act to absorb any necessary costs related to downsizing or consolidations within the amounts provided to the agency or department.

   Sec. 614.--The conference agreement includes section 614, modified from similar language proposed in both the House and Senate bills, which permanently prohibits funds appropriated or otherwise made available to the Federal Bureau of Prisons from being used to make available any commercially published information or material that is sexually explicit or features nudity to a prisoner.

   Sec. 615.--The conference agreement includes section 615, as proposed in the House bill, which limits funding under the Local Law Enforcement Block Grant to 90 percent to an entity that does not provide public safety officers injured in the line of duty, and as a result separated or retired from their jobs, with health insurance benefits equal to the insurance they received while on duty. The Senate bill did not include a similar provision.

   Sec. 616.--The conference agreement includes section 616, as proposed in the House bill, which prohibits funds provided in this Act from being used to promote the sale or export of tobacco or tobacco products, or to seek the reduction or removal of foreign restrictions on the marketing of tobacco products, provided such restrictions are applied equally to all tobacco or tobacco products of the same type. This provision is not intended to impact routine international trade services provided to all U.S. citizens, including the processing of applications to establish foreign trade zones. The Senate bill did not contain a provision on this matter.

   Sec. 617.--The conference agreement includes section 617, as proposed in the House bill, which extends the prohibition in last year's bill on use of funds to issue a visa to any alien involved in extrajudicial and political killings in Haiti. The provision also removes the name ``Claudy Myrthil'' from the list of victims, and extends the exemption and reporting requirements from last year's provision. The Senate bill included a similar provision on this matter, but did not remove the name ``Claudy Myrthil'' from the list of victims.

   Sec. 618.--The conference agreement includes section 618, identical in both bills but proposed as section 616 in the Senate bill, which prohibits a user fee from being charged for background checks conducted pursuant to the Brady Handgun Control Act of 1993, and prohibits implementation of a background check system which does not require or result in destruction of certain information.

   Sec. 619.--The conference agreement includes section 619, modified from language proposed in the House bill and as section 617 in the Senate bill, which delays obligation of any receipts deposited or available in the Crime Victims Fund in excess of $550,000,000 until the following fiscal year. The conferees have taken this action to protect against wide fluctuations in receipts into the Fund, and to ensure that a stable level of funding will remain available for these programs in future years. The conference agreement waives this limitation with regard to funding made available by Public Law 107-38.

   Sec. 620.--The conference agreement includes section 620, as proposed in the House bill, which prohibits the use of Department of Justice funds for programs which discriminate against, denigrate, or otherwise undermine the religious beliefs of students participating in such programs. The Senate bill did not contain a provision on this matter.

   Sec. 621.--The conference agreement includes section 621, modified from language proposed in the House bill and section 618 in the Senate bill, which prohibits the use of funds appropriated or otherwise made available to the Departments of State and Justice to process visas for citizens of countries that the Attorney General has determined deny or delay accepting the return of deported citizens.

   Sec. 622.--The conference agreement includes section 622, identical in both bills but proposed as section 619 in the Senate bill, which prohibits the use of Department of Justice funds to transport a maximum or high security prisoner to any facility other than a facility certified by the Bureau of Prisons as appropriately secure to house such a prisoner.

The House bill did not contain a provision on this matter.

   Sec. 624.--The conference agreement includes section 624, proposed in the Senate bill as section 622, that amends existing law to extend the authority of the States of Washington, Oregon, and California to adopt and enforce State laws and regulations governing fishing and processing in the exclusive economic zone adjacent to that State in any Dungeness crab (Cancer magister) fishery for which there is no fishery management

[Page: H8033]

   Sec. 625.--The conference agreement includes section 625, proposed in the Senate bill as section 608, which makes permanent a provision that prohibits the use of funds to increase the salary of a Federal judge or Justice of the Supreme Court, except as may be specifically authorized by Act of Congress. The House bill did not include a provision on this matter.

   Sec. 626.--The conference agreement includes section 626, modified from language proposed as section 629 in the Senate bill, addressing the issue of compensation for victims of international terrorism. This provision requires the Administration to fulfill its commitment to the Congress to develop a comprehensive federal response under which individualized awards of compensation would be made available to a U.S. national who is physically injured or killed as a result of an act of international terrorism or to the relatives of deceased United States victims of terrorism. Objections from all quarters have been repeatedly raised against the current ad hoc approach to compensation for victims of international terrorism. Objections and concerns, however, will no longer suffice. It is imperative that the Secretary of State, in coordination with the Departments of Justice and Treasury and other relevant agencies, develop a legislative proposal that will provide fair and prompt compensation to all U.S. victims of international terrorism. A compensation system already is in place for the victims of the September 11 terrorist attacks; a similar system should be available to victims of international terrorism. Any legislative proposal shall provide for compensation for U.S. victims of prior acts of international terrorism, including those with hostage claims against foreign states. Subsection (c) quashes the State Department's motion to vacate the judgment obtained by plaintiffs in Case Number 1:00CV03110(ESG) in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. Consistent with current law, subsection (c) does not require the United States Government to make any payments to satisfy the judgment. The House bill did not contain a provision on this matter.

   Sec. 627.--The conference agreement includes section 627, proposed as section 628 in the Senate bill, prohibiting the use of funds by Federal prisons for cable television services, videocassettes, videocassette recorders, or other audiovisual or electronic equipment used primarily for recreational purposes. The House bill did not include a provision on this matter.

   Sec. 628.--The conference agreement includes section 628, modified from language proposed as section 630 in the Senate bill, amending the Communications Satellite Act. The House bill did not contain a provision on this matter.

   Sec. 629.--The conference agreement includes section 629, not included in the House or Senate bills, providing additional amounts for the Small Business Administration, Salaries and Expenses account for a number of small business initiatives.

   Sec. 630.--The conference agreement includes section 630, proposed in the Senate bill as section 624, prohibiting the use of funds for cooperation with, or assistance or other support to, the International Criminal Court or the Preparatory Commission. The House bill does not include a provision on this matter.

   The conference agreement does not include language proposed in both the House and Senate bills regarding civil actions against Japanese corporations for compensation in which the plaintiff alleges that, as an American prisoner of war during World War II, he or she was used as slave or forced labor. The conferees understand that the Administration strongly opposes this language, and is concerned that the inclusion of such language in the Act would be detrimental to the ongoing effort to enlist multilateral support for the campaign against terrorism. The conferees strongly agree that the extraordinary suffering and injury of our former prisoners of war deserve further recognition, and acknowledge the need for such additional consideration.

   The conference agreement includes, by reference, language in the House Report under the heading ``Full Compliance with Telework Directive''. The conferees expect the Judiciary, and all departments and agencies funded under this Act, to be in full compliance with the timetable established in Public Law 106-346 for the implementation of telework policies.
