CONGRESSIONAL RECORD -- SENATE October 1, 1982'
poses as well as to help protect the
public and the economy. The House
has. authorized $3 million for the first
phase of development of an earth-
quake prediction and warning net-
work. I agree steps toward such a net-
work should be initiated. However, in-
vestigations of the requirements of the
program lead me to conclude that $1
million will be appropriate to the plan-
ning that can reasonably be accom-
plished in fiscal year 1983.
The USGS, in 'conjunction with
other -Federal agencies and-the State
of California, should submit a plan to
Congress by July 1, 1983, indicating
the tasks, responsibilities, and mile-
stones required to have such a capabil-
ity by 1988 and to be able to respond
to information from such a capability.
It is essential in my opinion that a
warning and prediction capability be
developed jointly by the Federal Gov-
ernment and the States. Authorization
for subsequent appropriations should
be dependent upon the States
making substantial contributions to
the development and the operation of
a prediction and warning network.
Mr. President, I recommend passage
of S. 2273 with these amendments.

O Mr. SCHMITT. Mr. President, S.
2273, an act to amend section 7' of the
Earthquake Hazards Reductions -Act
of 1977, was originally passed -by the
Senate on April 29, 1982. On Septem-
ber 14, 1982, the House of, Representa-
tives amended and passed S. -2273,
authorizing funds for fiscal year 1983
and such sums as may be necessary for
the fiscal year ending September 30,
1984, for the Federal Emergency Man-
agement Agency (FEMA), the U.S.
Geological- Survey (USGS), the Na-
tional Science Foundation (NSF),' and
the National Bureau of Standards
(NBS).
S. 2273, as. amended and passed by
the House of `Representatives is ac=
ceptable to' the Committee on - Com-
merce, Science, and- Transportation
with certain modifications to the
House amendments. The modification
we recommend accomplishes two pur-
poses:
Eliminates authorizations for such _
sums as may be necessary for the
fiscal year ending September 30, -1984;
and
Reduces- the total authorization for
fiscal year 1983 from $33,843,000 to '
$31,843,000. -'
In section 101(b) after "by_ Insert-
ing;" insert - $31,843,000. 'in place of
$33,843,000. In section 101(a)(4) -after
September 30, 1983, insert a. period
and strike ", and such sums as may be
necessary for the fiscal year ending
September 30, 1984."
In section 101(b) after September 30,
1983, insert a period and strike 11, and
such sums as may be necessary for the
fiscal .year -- ending September 30,
1984." -
In section- 101(c) after September 30,
1983, insert a period and:strike ", and
such sums as may be necessary for the
fiscal year ending September 30,
1984." -
In section 101(d) after September 30;
1983,-insert -a period and strike ", and
such sums as may be necessary for

1982, strike ", September 30, 1983 and
'September 30, 1984" and insert "and
September 30, 1983."
I have expressed concerns for sever-
al years about slow progress in devel-
oping a prototype short-term predic-
tion and warning capability and earlier
this year, recommended that -a target
date of 1988 be set for the operation of
such a system. Such a system could

i Mr. SASSER. Mr. President, the bill
before (is, S. 2386, represents the coop-
erative effort of both Houses of Con-
gress, and both sides of the aisle, to
produce a bill that makes certain that
comprehensive, high quality informa-
tion on the geographic distribution of
Federal funds remains available.
When I introduced S. 2386 on April
15, 1982, I did so to fill an information
gap that yawned before the Congress
at the worst possible time. Just when
we were preparing to consider the New
Federalism that President Reagan
made the centerpiece of his state of
the Union message, the Office of Man-
agement and Budget abruptly can-
celled the compilation and publication
of the geographic distribution of Fed-
gress and the public about the geo-
graphic distribution of Federal funds
for 1981 and 1982.
I was pleased that Senator RIEGLE
then cosponsored my bill, S. 2386,
which set forth procedures to make
these valuable data available through
1985.
Senator DAVID DURENBERGER made a
great. contribution to this legislation
as he helped shape it during.commit-
tee consideration. I was pleased that;
with Senator DURENGERGER's able lead-
ership, this bill moved quickly in the
Senate.
My Tennessee colleague, Congress-
man BILL BONER of Nashville, intro-
duced similar legislation in the House.
With the able support of Congressmen
BROOKS and HORTON, S. 2386, as
amended, passed the House.
The version of that legislation that
is acceptable both to the House and
the Senate is now before us for a vote.
I refer my colleagues to the colloquy
between Senator DURENBERGER and
myself printed in the CONGRESSIONAL
RECORD of July 29, 1982, on page S
9413 concerning our expectation that
the Office-of Management and Budget
would make information on the distri-
bution of Federal funds to all levels of
Government available to Congress
along with any New Federalism pro-
posal: I ask unanimous consent that
this colloquy appear in the RECORD: -
I wish to confirm my understanding that
the . Office of. Management and Budget
agrees to supply the Congress with ade-
quate data on the distribution of Federal
outlays for those programs affected by the
President's New Federalism. proposal when
it is finally presented. It is my understand-
ing that OMB agrees to provide information
on the distribution of Federal funds by
State, and by county and city levels where
necessary, to determine the amount of
money to be passed through to these-levels
of government. We need to have this infor-
mation for 1981 and 1982 if we are to assess
the geographic impact of the New Federal-
ism for the rest of the decade. We must
have this historical yardstick at this crucial
time in congressional decisionmaking.
The interm report covering 1981 and 1982
required- by S. 2386 which OMB is to issue.
will account only for the distribution of
funds to the States. While this may be
useful for other purposes, its utility to the
Congress in assessing the New Federalism
proposals is limited. _
The interim report will not provide com-
plete information on salaries, and it will not
provide data on Federal spending in local-
ities.
So, there is a real information gap for
Without the information contained
in the report, State-by-State and re-
gional impacts of the New Federalism
initiative could not be assessed by
elected officials or others interested in
the effects of changes in domestic pro-
grams.
The introduction of my bill was pre-
ceded by a resolution introduced on
February 11, 1982 by Senatbr DON
RIEGLE with my cosponsorship. Sena-
tor RIEGLE'S resolution was intended
-to provide a short-term remedy by re-
quiring that OMB inform the Con-
unless the Office of Management and
Budget agrees to supply the factual infor-
mation to fill it. This, as I understand it, is
the agreement that the Senators supported
S. 2386 have with OMB.
Mr. DURENBERGER. The Senator's under-
standing is correct. The Office of Manage-
ment and Budget has agreed that adequate
data on the distribution of Federal funds
necessary to evaluate the President's New
Federalism proposal will be provided at the
State level and at the county and city levels
for 1981 and 1982 where local-level data will
be necessary to determine and evaluate any
passthrough provisions of the plan.'
Mr. SASSER. I -am pleased that OMB has
agreed to supply this information to the
Congress along with the New Federalism
proposal.
I- reiterate here that we expect this
information to be provided.
The consolidated Federal funds
report ordered by S. 2386 requires that
the Office of Management and Budget
compile information on the amounts
of Federal funds spent in each State,
each county, each congressional dis-
trict, and each municipality. Since
available information sources are to be
used, no new appropriation of funds is
needed.
The bill gives legislative authoriza-
tion to the Federal assistance awards
data system (FAADS) which is now at
the pilot stage at OMB. This statutory
underpinning gives the Congress- ah
opportunity to oversee the use of this
valuable information system.
The Office of Management and
-
Budget will, over the next 3 years,
combine information in this FAADS
system with information on procure-
ments reported by the Federal pro-
curement, data system, salaries and ex-
penses from the central personnel
data file of the Office of Personnel
managenment and defense manpower.
data from the center at the Depart-
ment of Defense. -
For the 1981-82 period, OMB will
provide information on State-level
funding only.
I mr~pve passage of S. 2386.9
MrAKER. Mr. President, I move
that the Senate concur-in the amend-
ment of the House. -
The motion was agreed to.
