The conference agreement appropriates $500,000 as proposed by the House instead of "at a cost not to exceed $500,000" as proposed by the Senate, and provides that the funds will remain available until expended. The net effect of the conference agreement on amendments 12-14 is to provide $500,000 for a study on the impact of embargoes as proposed by the House, to remain available until expended.

OFFICE OF RURAL DEVELOPMENT POLICY Amendment No. 24: Restore House language which provides that $209,000 of the funds appropriated to the Office of Rural Develop- ment Policy shall remain available until September 30, 1986. Amendment No. 25: Appropriates $17,000,000 for salaries and ex- penses of the Farmers Home Administration as' proposed by the House instead of $16,866,000 as proposed by the Senate. The conference agreement also deletes House language which re- quired the Farmers Home Administration to determine on a case- by-case basis which borrowers were unable to continue making pay- ments of principal and interest due to circumstances beyond their control and, once qualified, the Secretary was required to suspend payment of principal and interest and forego foreclosure. The con- ferees delete this language in view of 7 U.S.C. 1981a, which gives the authority to the Secretary to defer payment of principal and interest and forego foreclosure where appropriate. The conferees will expect the Secretary to utilize this authority. Amendment No. 26: Adds "upon request of the borrower," as pro- posed by the Senate to the House language which requires the Farmers Home Administration to set loan interest rates at the lower of the rate in effect at either the time of loan approval or loan closing. RURAL ELECTRIFICATION ADMINISTRATION Amendment No. 27: Deletes Senate language which provided a rescission of $100,000 for the Rural Electrification Administration. SOIL CONSERVATION SERVICE Amendment No. 28: Deletes Senate language which provided a rescission of $2,000,000 for the Soil Conservation Service. Amendment No. 29: Reported in technical disagreement.

Such school districts shall receive bonus commodities in the same manner as such commodities are made available to any other school district participating in the school lunch program. The managers on the part of the Senate will move to concur in the amendment of the House to the amendment of the Senate. The conference agreement provides that, upon request to the Sec- retary of Agriculture, any school district receiving all cash or all letters of credit in lieu of commodities under the school lunch pro- gram on January 1, 1985, shall continue to do so through December 31, 1985, and that such school districts shall receive bonus commod- ities in the same manner as any other school district. The confer- ence agreement extends the arrangement for cash or letters of credit in lieu of commodities until December 31, 1985. This action will allow the legislative committees of Congress time to work their will, now that the cash/letter of credit ("CLOG') study has been completed. FEEDING PROGRAM FOR WOMEN, INFANTS AND CHILDREN [WIC] Amendment No. 30: Deletes House language regarding the avail- ability of 1985 funds for the WIC program. An official budget re- quest for the remainder of the funds was transmitted from the President to the Congress on June 7, 1985, making the House lan- guage unnecessary. FOOD STAMP PROGRAM Amendment No. 31: Deletes Senate language which proposed the subheading "(Including Rescission)". Amendment No. 32: Reported in technical disagreement. The managers on the part of the House will offer a motion to recede and concur in the amendment of the Senate which allows publicly operated community health centers to redeem food stamps for their residents who would otherwise be eligible for food stamps were they not living in those Centers. Amendment No. 33: Deletes Senate language which proposed a rescission of $5,000,000.

Amendment No. 48: Deletes language proposed by the Senate that would have rescinded $888,000 of fiscal year 1985 appropria- tions. The conferees intend that the use of the $888,000 proposed by the Administration for rescission in 1985 pursuant to the Deficit Re- duction Act of 1984 be used to make the Santa Mercedes ready for use as an appropriate replacement training vessel for the Massa- chusetts Maritime Academy. The additional amount will enable the Academy to realize some essential and important elements of maritime education and to improve training capacity aboard the vessel. The conferees understand that the ship is now without a single classroom and navigation laboratory and that some areas of the ship, such as the number four Hold cannot be utilized at all, since they do not meet U.S. Coast Guard requirements. The confer- ees are also aware that although the vessel is Federally-owned, the Academy has committed some of its own resources and has ac- quired by gift and purchase, a variety of equipment for educational and training purposes which cannot be installed due to the inabil- ity to use the number four Hold. The additional funds provided through this action will enable the Maritime Administration to provide access to and bring the number four Hold up to Coast Guard requirements so that it may be utilized to provide submini- mal classroom space and a multi-use navigational laboratory, and to provide a crane for the foredeck Hold, which is presently unus- able. The conferees are agreed that the funds appropriated in the 1984 Supplemental Appropriations Act (Public Law 98-396) for the ac- quisition and preconversion costs of a training vessel for the State University of New York should be obligated as soon as possible in accordance with the statutory language contained in that Act.

The conferees are aware that the Congress is currently consider- ing a legislative solution that will deal with this matter. In addi- tion, there is a court case pending regarding the legal aspects of the rule promulgated by the Department of Transportation on this issue. The conferees encourage the Secretary of Transportation and Approved For Release 2011/09/27: CIA-RDP87MO1007R000500990002-3 Approved For Release 2011/09/27: CIA-RDP87MOl007R000500990002-3 the Maritime Administration to delay enforcement of this rule for the balance of this fiscal year or until the pending U.S. District Court decision has been rendered and there is an opportunity in September to adopt the pending legislative solution, whichever is sooner. The conferees express no opinion with respect to the merits of the law suit. Amendment No. 50: Reported in technical disagreement. The managers on the part of the House will offer a motion to recede and concur in the amendment of the Senate which authorizes the Federal Communications Commission to utilize not to exceed $5,000,000 out of appropriations for fiscal years 1986 and 1987 to relocate its Fort Lauderdale, Florida monitoring station within the State of Florida, subject to certain conditions and considerations. INTERNATIONAL TELECOMMUNICATIONS SATELLITE SERVICE The House and Senate reports were not in agreement regarding the issue of international telecommunications satellite service. Since both bodies acted, but prior to the completion of the Confer- ence, the FCC acted on the pending applications. (Three Commis- sioners voted in favor, and two withheld their vote.) Some Members of Congress are disturbed by this. The Conferees strongly believe that the following agreed-upon language provides essential guid- ance to the Commission and the executive branch. It should be fol- lowed. Regarding the provision of international telecommunications sat- ellite service, the Conferees strongly believe that the Executive Branch or the FCC, in any action, shall endeavor to avoid signifi- cant economic harm to Intelsat. In addition, with regard to this issue, the Conferees agree on the following: 1. Presidential Determination No. 85-2 properly balances the U.S. commitment to Intelsat with our commitment to develop a competitive international telecommunications marketplace. In ad- dition, the Executive Branch and the FCC shall fully implement and enforce the criteria in that Presidential Determination. More- over, the FCC shall not award construction permits without adopt- ing appropriate measures and guidelines to enforce the Presiden- tial Determination. 2. The FCC, in considering applications for alternative interna- tional satellite systems, shall be neutral and shall not show a pred- ilection or bias to any application. 3. The U.S. should support the continued provision of telephone service by Intelsat to developing countries at affordable rates. 4. The U.S. should support Intelsat's ability to compete fully and fairly in all new international telecommunications services, includ- ing supporting Intelsat's ability to price competitively and fairly on services not provided before August 1, 1985. More specifically, if the President has not found the modification to Article 5(d) of the Intelsat Agreement to be not in the national Approved For Release 2011/09/27: CIA-RDP87MOl007R000500990002-3 Approved For Release 2011/09/27: CIA-RDP87MOl007R000500990002-3 interest, the U.S. shall support such modification so that Intelsat may price competitively and fairly, provided that Intelsat has adopted measures to ensure prices are cost-based and not predato- ry, including the release of information on revenues, costs, and al- location of such costs. 5. In the event the Secretary of State decides to proceed after an unfavorable consultation pursuant to the Intelsat Agreement or in the event the President decides to alter the Presidential Determi- nation, a tentative decision along with the rationale for such deci- sion shall be sent to the Congress and a final decision shall not be made until the Congress has had 45 calendar days to review the tentative decision and the accompanying rationale.

The managers on the part of the Senate will move to concur in the amendment of the House to the amendment of the Senate.

These positions shall be used as follows: Comprehensive Crime Control Act-36 attorneys and 126 support (92 paralegals for fine collections and 34 clericals). Judgeship Act-59 attorneys and 59 support (49 clerical and 10 administrative). The conferees note that the Department of Justice has only re- cently begun to implement the many provisions of the Comprehen- sive Crime Control of 1984, which was enacted in the Fiscal Year 1985 Continuing Resolution. The conferees also note that many of the new judgeships established by the Bankruptcy Amendments and Federal Judgeship Act of 1984 have not yet been filled and that the anticipated increase in workload of the United States At- torneys as a result of this legislation has not yet fully materialized. Therefore, the conferees are agreed that the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations should further review these matters before making final decisions on funding levels for the United Approved For Release 2011/09/27: CIA-RDP87MOl007R000500990002-3 Approved For Release 2011/09/27: CIA-RDP87MOl007R000500990002-3 States Attorneys for fiscal year 1986 to ensure that the resources provided to carry out this new legislation are fully justified.

The managers on the part of the House will offer a motion to recede and concur in the amendment of the Senate with an amendment as follows: In lieu of the matter proposed by said amendment, insert the fol- lowing: For an additional amount for a grant for the establish- ment of a clinical program to supplement the services of local Legal Services grantees at Drake University School of Approved For Release 2011/09/27: CIA-RDP87MOl007R000500990002-3 Approved For Release 2011/09/27: CIA-RDP87M0l007R000500990002-3 Law in Des Moines, Iowa, $4,000,000, to remain available until expended. The purpose of the above grants is to fund two University Centers which will provide legal clinics to supplement the civil legal services of Legal Services Corporation grantees, demonstrate how such legal clinics can be operated to bene- fit both law students and recipients, and conduct continu- ing legal education courses and seminars to encourage and prepare practicing attorneys for pro bono services. Under each such clinical program, no recipient shall receive legal services who would be disqualified by law or regulation from receiving such service from a Legal Services Corpora- tion grantee. $3,000,000 of each such grant shall be available to the governing body of the University to establish an endowment fund to provide income to support such a program on a con- tinuing basis. Such endowment shall be held in a trust which dedicates the income exclusively to fulfilling the purposes above stated and shall be subject to audit by the General Accounting Office for the sole purpose of determin- ing that all funds have been accounted for or used for such purposes. If either such grantee elects to discontinue the program established under this section, the corpus of the endowment trust shall revert to the Treasury of the United States and the document accepting the grant shall provide for such reversion. The balance of the funds in each grant shall be made available to the grantee for facilities, equipment, and other costs actually incurred in establishing such a clinical pro- gram, and the application for the grant shall require only such information and supporting material as is reasonably necessary to assure that such funds will be used exclusively for the purposes described herein. The managers on the part of the Senate will move to concur in the amendment of the House to the amendment of the Senate. Grants are provided to fund two University Centers for the deliv- ery of legal services and educational programs which will supple- ment those provided by Legal Services grantees. The grantees are two accredited law schools which have demonstrated an interest in providing such services and have had some experience in setting up and operating a modest program. The number of eligible recipients for the services of Legal Services grantees far exceeds the number they can properly service with the resources available or likely to become available in the forseeable future and these two legal clin- ics should demonstrate an additional method of supplementing such service. Also, experience in this program should encourage law school graduates to provide more pro bono services, and semi- nars conducted by the centers will encourage and help prepare practicing attorneys for pro bono services. The source materials needed to handle many of the legal prob- lems of low income citizens and the information which would be valuable in developing and implementing a clinical program at a law school which would serve such purposes is presently very limit- Approved For Release 2011/09/27: CIA-RDP87M0l007R000500990002-3 Approved For Release 2011/09/27: CIA-RDP87MOl007R000500990002-3 ed. It is expected that the two centers funded under this bill will contribute significantly to the development of such resources for use nationwide and will encourage others to establish such a pro- gram. The facilities provided to implement this program should include interview offices which are easily accessible to recipients, including the elderly and disabled. The limitations upon those eligible to receive the services from grantees of the Legal Services Corporation have been established by law in authorization and appropriations bills and it is anticipat- ed that there will be changes from time to time in these limita- tions. The grantees hereunder are not to be prohibited from serv- ing anyone the Legal Services Corporation grantees are not prohib- ited from serving, but likewise, they are to be prohibited from pro- viding legal services which are prohibited by law for Legal Services Corporation grantees. The conferees see no difficulty in these grantees adjusting to any changes that may be made from year to year in the same way that Legal Services Corporation grantees adjust to such changes. The Legal Services Corporation is the conduit or vehicle desig- nated to carry out the purposes of this section of the bill and the Corporation shall do so as quickly as possible and without unneces- sary or complicated paperwork requirements. The conferees expect that the application- and the documents of acceptance under which the grantees agree to comply with the purposes of this legislation will be brief and not require the employment of additional person- nel or consultants by the Legal Services Corporation, and that there will be no delay attributed to drafting such documents. These grants shall not affect the eligibility of other institutions in these states to receive funds from the Legal Services Corpora- tion. Amendment No. 71: Reported in technical disagreement. The managers on the part of the House will offer a motion to recede and concur in the amendment of the Senate which adds language amending certain provisions in Public Laws 98-166 and 98-411 to permit the Members of the Board of Directors of the Legal Services Corporation to be reimbursed for expenses for official travel and other official purposes.

Amendment No. 103: Allocates $240,000,000 from available funds as proposed by the House instead of $38,400,000 as proposed by the Senate for the modification of A-6E aircraft. Amendment No. 104: Deletes the provision to transfer funds to the "Aircraft Procurement, Navy, 1985/1987" appropriation as pro- posed by the House, and makes funds available for obligation as proposed by the Senate. Approved For Release 2011/09/27: CIA-RDP87MOl007R000500990002-3 Approved For Release 2011/09/27: CIA-RDP87MOl007R000500990002-3 Amendment No. 105: Deletes language proposed by the House which would have provided that the funds allocated for the modifi- cation of A-6E aircraft should have been subject to the enactment of authorizing legislation. The conferees recommend $240,000,000 be made available from previously appropriated funds for aircraft procurement in order to proceed with the unbudgeted development and production of re- placement wings for A-6E combat aircraft. The House recommend- ed a transfer of these funds from the fiscal year 1982 shipbuilding appropriation and the Senate recommended $38,400,000 be avail- able from aircraft procurement funds in the current year to cover nonrecurring and start up costs for the program. Rather than provide funding by transfer from shipbuilding re- sources, the conferees determined it is more appropriate to utilize funds already available within aircraft procurement appropria- tions. Although planned for fiscal year 1986, the Navy has ex- pressed confidence that the full $240,000,000 will be obligated in fiscal year 1985 for development and initial wing production. The conferees have identified sources of funds from fiscal years 1983, 1984 and 1985 which shall be available for the program. To avoid reappropriation, the expiration dates of appropriations remain in effect in accordance with existing law. Therefore funds available from fiscal year 1983 aircraft procurement shall expire on Septem- ber 30, 1985, fiscal year 1984 funding expires on September 30, 1986, and resources identified from fiscal year 1985 expire on Sep- tember 30, 1987. The conferees understand no additional appropriation will be re- quired in fiscal year 1986 beyond that currently budgeted for this program. The Navy will be expected to budget for full program costs in the future. The following table specifies the fiscal year and program funding which will be made available for the A-6 rewing program: Program Fiscal year 1985: Amount F/14 aircraft ..................................................................................................... $6,500,000 TH-57 aircraft .................................................................................................. 2,000,000 AH-1T aircraft ................................................................................................. 600,000 E2-C modifications .......................................................................................... 6,000,000 Power plant changes ....................................................................................... 2,800,000 F/18 modifications ........................................................................................... 1,700,000 OV-10 modifications ....................................................................................... 2,100,000 RF-4 modifications .......................................................................................... 2,000,000 Common ECM/ALR-67 .................................................................................. 35,000,000 Aircraft industrial facilities ........................................................................... 16,100,000 Reimbursables .................................................................................................. 15,000,000 Fiscal year 1984: AV-8B ................................................................................................................ 9,000,000 Reimbursables .................................................................................................. 5,000,000 A-4 modifications ............................................................................................ 5,900,000 Power plant changes ....................................................................................... 1,300,000 Fiscal year 1983: AV-8B aircraft ................................................................................................. 18,000,000 A-6 aircraft ....................................................................................................... 7,000,000 P-3 aircraft ....................................................................................................... 6,000,000 E-2 aircraft ....................................................................................................... 4,000,000 H-2 helicopter .................................................................................................. 6,000,000 C-2 aircraft ....................................................................................................... 6,000,000 T-34 aircraft ..................................................................................................... 8,000,000 Approved For Release 2011/09/27: CIA-RDP87MOl007R000500990002-3 Approved For Release 2011/09/27: CIA-RDP87MOl007R000500990002-3 A-7 modifications ............................................................................................ 13,000,000 OV-10 modifications ....................................................................................... 1,000,000 H-53 modifications .......................................................................................... 8,000,000 E-2 modifications ............................................................................................. 11,000,000 Power plant changes ....................................................................................... 1,000,000 F-14 modifications ........................................................................................... 2,000,000 H-1 modifications ............................................................................................ 5,000,000 EC-130 modifications ...................................................................................... 7,000,000 Common ECM/ALR-67 .................................................................................. 12,000,000 Reimbursables .................................................................................................. 14,000,000 Amendment No. 106: Reported in technical disagreement.

RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT, TEST AND EVALUATION RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT, TEST AND EVALUATION, AIR FORCE Amendment No. 107: Deletes language proposed by the Senate which would have made $3,800,000 available for the simplified mu- nitions lift trailer program. The conferees agree the proposed lan- guage is not required since adequate funding is available for this program for which competitive selection was mandated by section 112 of the Department of Defense Authorization Act, 1985 (Public Law 98-525; 98 Stat. 2507). The conferees concur in the direction of the Senate to provide $2,500,000 in funding available under Navy exploratory develop- ment to supplement the Tactical Directed Energy line. These funds are to be used solely for the completion of two Navy pulsed power technology products, the rail gap switch and the wide area corona plasma cathode. HUMANITARIAN ASSISTANCE FOR NICARAGUAN DEMOCRATIC RESISTANCE Amendment No. 108: Deletes language proposed by the Senate which would have provided $38,000,000 for humanitarian assist- ance for the Nicaraguan Democratic Resistance.

The managers on the part of the House will offer a motion to recede and concur in the amendment of the Senate with an amendment, as follows: In lieu of the matter inserted by said amendment, insert the fol- lowing: ENHANCED SECURITY COUNTERMEASURES CAPABILITIES To the Director of Central Intelligence, for the enhance- ment of security countermeasures capabilities, $35,000,000, to remain available until September 30, 1986, to be allocat- ed by the Director of Central Intelligence among the Na- tional Security Agency, the Central Intelligence Agency, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Department of State, and any other agency that the Director of Central Intelli- gence may determine, such funds to be expended exclusively for the purpose of improving security countermeasures capa- bilities at United States Embassies and other facilities abroad in accordance with a plan to be developed by the Director of Central Intelligence in conjunction with the Na- tional Security Agency, the Central Intelligence Agency, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Department of State, the National Security Council and any other agency that the Director of Central Intelligence may determine and sub- mitted to the Appropriations and Intelligence Committees of the Congress by September 1, 1985. The managers on the part of the Senate will move to concur in the amendment of the House to the amendment of the Senate. The conferees agree that more effective action is required to counter potential security compromises at U.S. government instal- lations abroad. The conferees further agree to make $35,000,000 available to expedite implementation of such a program. Although the funds are being provided to the Director of Central Intelligence (DCI) because of the expertise within the intelligence community, the conferees expect these additional resources to be allocated, as appropriate, across the federal agencies involved. In addition, the conferees agree that prior to obligation of these funds, the appropriations and authorizing committees must receive a com- prehensive plan to effectively combat the compromising of sensitive material at U.S. government installations abroad. The plan should detail the total amount of funding available from all sources to achieve its objectives. The activities to be carried out with these funds shall not infringe on the State Department's traditional role for providing overall and physical security at those facilities for which it is responsible.

The managers on the part of the Senate will move to concur in the amendment of the House to the amendment of the Senate. The conference agreement includes the following new construc- tion starts proposed by the Administration and unbudgeted projects: Ardsley, NY.-Ardsley, New York, authorized in 1976 under Sec- tion 201 of the 1965 Flood Control Act, is located on the Saw Mill River approximately 5 miles upstream from the junction of the Saw Mill and Hudson Rivers in the Village of Ardsley, Westchester County, New York. The project consists of constructing 426 feet of levees, 1,003 feet of flood wall, and 342 feet of concrete flume and would afford protection to both retail and commercial establish- ments as well as two industrial plants. Atchafalaya Basin, LA.-The. Atchafalaya basin project, author- ized in 1928, is one of the main stem components of the Mississippi River and tributaries project. Through a system of levees, channels, and control works, the basin serves as a floodway to carry up to one-half of the Mississippi River flood flows. Physically, the Atcha- falaya River basin project is about 60 percent complete. An impor- tant element of the plan involves the purchase of approximately 48,000 acres of land from willing sellers to be used as a natural wildlife area and funds are provided for that purpose. (Report of the Chief of Engineers, February 28, 1983.) Baltimore Harbor and Channels, MD and VA.-Baltimore Harbor is situated at the head of the navigable portion of the Pa- tapsco River, approximately 172 miles north of the Virginia Capes entrance to Chesapeake Bay. The project lies in Baltimore City and Anne Arundel and Baltimore Counties in Maryland, and North- ampton and Accomack Counties in Virginia. The proposed improve- ment, authorized by the River and Harbor Act of 1970, would pro- vide for a uniform main channel, 50 feet deep and generally 800 or 1,000 feet wide, through the Chesapeake Bay from the Virginia Capes to Fort McHenry in the Port of Baltimore. Depths of 50, 49, and 40 feet would be provided in the branch channels of Curtis Bay, Northwest Branch-East Channel, and Northwest Branch-West Channel, respectively. Barnegat Inlet, New Jersey.-The existing project was authorized by the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1935 and modified by the Rivers and Harbors Acts of 1937 and 1946. Barnegat Inlet is located on the Atlantic Coast of New Jersey in Ocean County, approximately 32 miles northeast of Atlantic City. It lies partially in the municipal- ity of Barnegat Light Borough and partially in Island Reach Beach State Park. The project consists of constructing a new, parallel, 4,270 foot rubble mound south jetty and dredging a channel 10 feet deep, 300 feet wide, and 11,300 feet long. The project modification would reduce shoaling in the immediate area of the inlet entrance enabling the navigation project to functon in a fully suitable and safe manner. The Chief of Engineers determined that this project could be technically and legally classified as a design deficiency. Due to this design deficiency, the project has not worked as projected and, in Approved For Release 2011/09/27: CIA-RDP87M0l007R000500990002-3 Approved For Release 2011/09/27: CIA-RDP87M0l007R000500990002-3 fact, has created a hazard to navigation resulting in the loss of eight lives last year. The project shall be funded accordingly. Bassett Creek, MN.-The project, authorized in the 1976 Water Resource Development Act, is located in Hennepin County, Minne- sota, and consists of structural and nonstructural flood control measures. Structural measures consist of six small control struc- tures to temporarily impound floodwaters and a new tunnel to re- place the existing tunnel, outletting Bassett Creek to the Mississip- pi River. Flood damages presently average $2,054,000 annually. The recommended project would provide flood protection of 222 resi- dences and 18 industries and an indeterminate number of commer- cial and industrial developments in Minneapolis. The project would prevent approximately $3,298,000 in average annual flood damages. Bonneville navigation lock, Oregon and Washington.-This project is located at Bonneville Lock and Dam, 40 miles east of Portland, OR. The proposed project would provide for construction of a new lock, 86 feet wide, 675 feet long and at least 15 feet deep. The horizontal dimensions are the same as the seven existing up- stream locks. The navigation problems at Bonneville Lock, includ- ing lockage delays and damages from accidents, occur due to the restricted size of the lock chamber, hazardous approaches and con- stricted Columbia River Channel, Waterborne commerce, which is expected to increase to 13 million tons per year, will equal or exceed the lock capacity by 1988. (Report of the Board of Engineers for Rivers and Harbors, December 5, 1978.) Clear Creek, TX.-Clear Creek lies about midway between the two metropolitan centers of Houston on the north and Galveston- Texas City on the south. The stream is bounded by Harris, Galves- ton, Fort Bend, and Brazoria Counties. It empties into Clear Lake and then flows into the west side of Galveston Bay. The project provides for enlargement and rectification of the existing Clear Creek Channel from the upper end of Clear Lake at mile 3.8 to im- proved channel mile 26.05, a distance of approximately 22 miles, and an additional outlet with a gated structure from Clear Lake to Galveston Bay. The project, authorized by the Flood Control Act of 1968, would provide flood protection for a rapidly developing resi- dential and commercial area, a suburb of Houston. Cleveland Harbor, Ohio.-The harbor, located at the City of Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, is on the southern shore of Lake Erie. The Federal project was constructed for and is currently maintained exclusively for deep-draft commercial navigation. Harbor modifications are necessary to accommodate the new gen- eration of bulk freighters, measuring 1,000 feet by 105 feet, with carrying capacities of 60,000 tons at various depths of 28 to 32 feet. The proposed harbor modification, consists of deepening and widen- ing the east entrance and approach channels, deepening the east basin channel, and disposing of dredge material in an existing dis- posal site as described in the Report of the Board of Engineers for Rivers and Harbors dated January 22, 1985, including bulkheading and other necessary repairs at pier 34 and approach channels and necessary protective structures for mooring basins for transient vessels in the area south of pier 34 and including such modifica- tions as may be recommended by the Chief of Engineers at a cost not to exceed $36,000,000. The existing dredged material contain- Approved For Release 2011/09/27: CIA-RDP87M0l007R000500990002-3 Approved For Release 2011/09/27: CIA-RDP87MOl007R000500990002-3 ment site known as site 14 may be used for the containment of ex- cavated material from construction of the project. Colorado River and Tributaries, Boggy Creek at Austin, TX.- This is a local protection project for flood control and recreation. The plan of improvement consists of a concrete trapeziodal channel on Boggy Creek beginning just above Webberville Road and extend- ing downstream about 2.2 miles to just below Jain Lane. The Boggy Creek watershed has a history of severe flooding caused primarily by intense local thunderstorms. In October 1960, the maximum flood of record, 9 inches of rain fell forcing 200 flood plain residents to evacuate their homes. Over 12 homes were destroyed. The total damages caused by the maximum known flood were $2.5 million and a recurrence of this flood using October 1984 price levels and 1984 conditions of development would cause $12.4 million in dam- ages. Since then, flooding has occurred seven times. Flooding in November 1974, May 1975, and May and July 1979 caused property damages estimated at $2 million, $2.4 million, and $1 million, re- spectively, at October 1984 price levels. (Report of the Chief of En- gineers, January 19, 1981.) Cowanesque lake modification, Pennsylvania.-The modification of the existing project for water supply is authorized by the Flood Control Act of 1958 and would be accomplished under the discre- tionary authority of the Chief of Engineers. The existing project is located in Tioga County, Pennsylvania, on the Cowanesque River approximately 2.2 miles above its confluence with the Tioga River at Lawrenceville, Pennsylvania. The Cowanesque River is a tribu- tary in the Chemung River Basin. The proposed modification for water supply would enable two electric utility companies to meet their consumptive use make-up needs during drought conditions. Dade County, North of Haulover Beach Park, FL.-Dade County is located on the Atlantic Ocean near the southern tip of the Flori- da Peninsula. The existing Federal beach erosion control and hur- ricane protection project extends north along the Atlantic coast of Dade County 9.3 miles from Government Cut to Bakers Haulover Inlet, thence north from Bakers Haulover Inlet 1.2 miles to the north boundary of Haulover Beach Park. The combined effect of wind, waves, and tides amplified during storm conditions has re- sulted in erosion and lowering of the beach profiles and recession of the shoreline. At a large number of locations along the shore- line, erosion has undermined, or threatened to undermine, shore- front structures. Recession of the shoreline is causing the loss of valuable property and at many locations placing seawalls under direct wave attack. There is now little or no protective and recre- ational beach during periods of high tides in certain reaches of the commercially developed strip and in the north section of Golden Beach. The recommended plan provides for protection and nourish- ment of 2.5 miles of beach shore north of Haulover Beach Park and for extension of the period of Federal participation in the cost of nourishing the existing Dade County project from 10 years to the life of the project. (Report of the Chief of Engineers, December 27, 1983.)

The project is for the develop- ment, operation, and maintenance of a recreation and greenbelt area on, and along the Des Moines River, Iowa, between the point at which the Des Moines River is intersected by United States Highway 20 to the point downstream at which relocated United States Highway 92 intersects the Des Moines River. The project shall include, but not be limited to: (1) the construction, operation, and maintenance of recreational facilities and streambank stabili- zation structures; (2) the operation and maintenance of all struc- tures constructed before the date of authorization of this project (other than any such structure operated and maintained by any person under a permit or agreement with the Secretary) within the area described in the Des Moines Recreational River and Greenbelt Map and on file with the Committee on Public Works and Trans- portation of the House of Representatives; (3) such tree plantings, trails, vegetation, and wildlife protection and development and other activities as will enhance the natural environment for recre- ational purposes; and (4) the prohibition or limitation by the Secre- tary of the killing, wounding, or capturing at any time of any wild bird or animal in such areas as may be directed by the Secretary. In carrying out the project described in subsection (a) of this sec- tion, the Secretary may acquire by purchase, donation, exchange, or otherwise land and interests therein, as the Secretary deter- mines are necessary to carry out such project. If the Secretary pur- chases any land or interest therein from any State or local agency, he shall not pay more than the original cost paid by such State or local agency for such land or interest therein. No land or interest therein may be acquired by the United States to carry out such project without the consent of the owner and nothing herein shall constitute an additional restriction by an owner upon the use of any land or any interest therein which is not owned by the United States. An advisory committee shall be established for consultation with the Department of the Army and shall include: (A) five persons ap- pointed by the Governor of Iowa; (B) two persons appointed by their respective board of supervisors to represent each community with the study area; (C) one person appointed by the Mayor of the City of Des Moines and one additional person appointed by the mayor of each other incorporated municipality within whose boundaries a portion of such recreation area lies; and (D) three em- ployees or officials of the Corps of Engineers. Eight Mile Creek, AR.-The project is located in northeast Ar- kansas and includes portions of Greene and Craighead Counties in the vicinity of Paragould, Arkansas. The plan of improvement con- sists of channel enlargement on 11.4 miles of streams. This in- cludes 8 miles of channel improvement in the agricultural area below Paragould to provide a 3-year level of protection and 3.4 miles of channel improvement to provide a 100-year level of protec- tion to the urban area of Paragould. During the last 40 years, major floods in the basin have been re- ported every 4 to 12 years. One of the most recent floods to occur in the Eight Mile Creek basin was in April 1973, when 6.77 inches of rain fell in 16 hours. About 3,000 persons were forced from their homes and the ensuing damages to homes and businesses were esti- Approved For Release 2011/09/27: CIA-RDP87M0l007R000500990002-3 Approved For Release 2011/09/27: CIA-RDP87MOl007R000500990002-3 mated by local officials to be $3,600,000. (As contained in House Document 98-210.) Ellicott Creek, NY-The project consists of about 2.1 miles of channel widening and deepening, including the enlargement of the existing diversion channel in Ellicott Creek Park and about 2.1 miles of diversion channels outside the existing creek channel. The project, authorized by the Flood Control Act of 1970, as amended by Public Law 97-128, is needed to reduce flood damages in the lower Ellicott Creek basin. The downstream portion of the Ellicott Creek basin is subject to frequent flooding. The March 1960 flood inundated about 20 acres in the city and town of Tonawanda and flooded about 3,200 acres in the town of Amherst. The flood prob- lem has become more acute in recent years due to increased devel- opment activity which includes the Amherst campus of the State University of New York at Buffalo. The project would prevent ap- proximately $2,063,000 average annual flood damages. Fairfield Vicinity Streams, CA.-The project, authorized in 1970 under Sec. 201 of the 1965 Flood Control Act, is located in and in the vicinity of, the city of Fairfield, Solano County, California. The project consists of improvements to five streams and provides for channel enlargement and construction on Ledgewood, Laurel, and McCoy Creeks and the diversion of three creeks. The project would provide flood protection to about 3,900 acres of land in and adja- cent to the City of Fairfield that is now subject to frequent and damaging flood inundations. The present value of improvements in the project flood plain is $240,000,000. Since 1940, Fairfield has been growing at a rate greatly exceeding that of Solano County, the State of California, or the United States. It is estimated that by 2028 the flood plain will be 91 percent converted to residential and other urban uses. Future developments will compound the current flood problems; repetition of the December 1965 flood, the maxi- mum flood of record, would cause damages of about $1,950,000 all preventable by the project. Freeport Harbor, TX.-The project is in Brazoria County 47 miles southwest of Galveston. The plan of improvement provides for wid- ening, deepening, and realigning the existing Freeport Harbor project, including turning basins, to provide for an enlarged chan- nel with project depths of 47 feet in the entrance channel in the Gulf of Mexico, 45 feet in the jetty channel and inside main chan- nel, and 36 feet in the Brazos Harbor Channel. The project also provides for relocation of the north jetty of the entrance channel, a 500-foot extension to the relocated north jetty, rehabilitation of the south jetty, and public use facilities at the jetties. The narrow 200- foot wide jetty channel, sharp curves at the inner end of the jetty channel and at the upper end of Brazosport turning basin, all con- tribute to inadequate conditions for safe navigation by deep-draft traffic. Because of these hazards, deep-draft vessel movements are restricted to one-way traffic, and, with inadequate project depth, vessels are often light-loaded and some of the large vessels will not call at Freeport. (Flood Control Act of 1970.) Gallipolis locks and dam, West Virginia and Ohio (Ohio River).- Gallipolis is situated in the middle Ohio Valley at River Mile 279.2, about 14 miles downstream from the mouth of the Kanawha River in West Virginia and about 30 miles upstream from the City of Approved For Release 2011/09/27: CIA-RDP87MOl007R000500990002-3 Approved For Release 2011/09/27: CIA-RDP87M0l007R000500990002-3 Huntington, West Virginia. The new locks would be in Mason County, West Virginia; the abutment of the dam is in Gallia County, Ohio. The proposed plan of improvement includes con- struction of two new locks and canal bypassing the existing dam. Also, the existing dam would be rehabilitated. Construction of the project will permit safe and efficient transportation through the project. Reduced delays and transportation costs will benefit direct- ly and indirectly the economy of the Nation. (Report of the Chief of Engineers, April 8, 1982, as supplemented by the Chief of Engi- neers Report of August 13, 1983.) Geneva-on-the-Lake, OH.-The project, located on Lake Erie, be- tween Fairport and Ashtabula Harbors, was authorized by a Senate and House Committee Resolution in December 1970 under Section 201 of the Flood Control Act of 1965. Principal project features in- clude 1,350 feet of rubblemound breakwaters in Lake Erie, an en- trance channel 9 feet, 730 feet in length and 100 feet wide, 0.5 acre mooring area, 6 feet deep service channels, recreational fishing fa- cilities and a wetland mitigation plan to replace 4.2 acres of wet- lands lost due to harbor construction. The project will provide ben- efits to permanently based boats and transient boaters as a harbor of refuge. Gulfport Harbor, MS.-The project is located on Mississippi Sound, and arm of the Gulf of Mexico, about 44 miles west of Pas- cagoula Harbor, Miss., and 78 miles east of New Orleans, La. The existing project consists of. a channel 32 feet deep, 300 feet wide, and about 8 miles long across Ship Island Bar; a channel 30 feet, 220 feet wide, and about 11 miles long through Mississippi Sound; an anchorage basin at Gulfport 30 feet deep, 1,320 feet wide, and 2,640 feet long. Modifications of the project would provide for deep- ening and widening the existing ship channel to 36 by 300 feet in Mississippi Sound and 38 by 400 feet in the Gulf of Mexico with necessary changes in the channel alignment and in the entrance to the anchorage basin needed for reasonably safe and unrestricted navigation. (Report of the Chief of Engineers, Jan. 16, 1978, except that the Chief of Engineers is authorized to construct the project in the most cost-effective and environmentally acceptable manner.) Jonesport Harbor, ME.-Jonesport Harbor, authorized in 1976 under section 201 of the 1965 Flood Control Act, is located on the Atlantic Ocean at the north side of Moosabec Reach in Washington County, Maine, about 190 miles northeast of Portland, Maine, and about 40 miles southwest of the Canadian border at Eastport, Maine. The project provides for a breakwater 1,200 feet in length; a 15 acre anchorage composed of 9 acres, 6 feet deep, and 6 acres, 8 feet deep; and an entrance channel 100 feet wide and 8 feet deep. The basic need in Jonesport Harbor is for a protected anchorage to adequately and safely accommodate the local fishing fleet. Kahoma Stream, HI.-The project, authorized in 1976 under sec- tion 201 of the 1965 Flood Control Act, is located in the town of Lahaina on the west coast of the island of Maui, Hawaii. The plan of improvement provides for construction of 5,415 feet of concrete trapezoidal channel, a debris basin, a revetted outlet, and three bridges. Flood damages in the Kahoma Stream basin result from inadequate capacity of the channel and bridge openings, restrictive bends in the stream, and high velocity flows. The greatest flood on Approved For Release 2011/09/27: CIA-RDP87M0l007R000500990002-3 Approved For Release 2011/09/27: CIA-RDP87M0l007R000500990002-3 record occurred on May 13, 1960, with an estimated peak flow of 7,750 cfs and with damages of $320,000 at the time. Presently there are 360 homes, 18 condominiums, 280 commercial establishments, two shopping centers, several small businesses, and a sugar proc- essing plant in the Kahoma Stream flood plain. The area to be pro- tected comprises about 291 acres with a total estimated value of ap- proximately $300,000,000 for land and improvements. Kill Van Kull Channel, Newark Bay Channel, New York and New Jersey.-Kill Van Kull and Newark Bay are segments of New York Harbor essentially located between Staten Island, New York and Bayonne, New Jersey. The project provides for deepening the existing Federal channels in the Kill Van Kull and Newark Bay to 45 feet, widening these channels at selected points, and dredging a turning basin at Port Elizabeth, New Jersey. The Kill Van Kull and Newark Bay waterways serve the world's largest container port with more than 13 million tons of high value cargo handled annually. (Report of the Chief of Engineers dated 14 December 1981.) Liberty State Park levee and seawall, New Jersey.-The State of New Jersey's plan for Liberty State Park will transform a decaying open space into a new and useful waterfront area. Opposite two na- tional monuments, the park will offer public access to the water- front and new recreational activities at the center of the New Jersey-New York metropolitan region. The project authorized by the Water Resources Development Act of 1976, is located in Jersey City, Hudson County, N.J., directly opposite the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island in upper New York Bay. The proposed plan of im- provement consists of excavation, landfill, placement of an armored sand levee, and construction of two pedestrian walkways spanning the unfilled areas. It extends 1.5 miles in a crescent alignment from the shoreline south of the Railroad Maritime Terminal to the north side of Black Tom Channel. Little Dell Lake, UT-The project authorized by the 1968 Flood Control Act and the 1976 Water Resources Development Act, is lo- cated on Dell Creek, a tributary of Parleys Creek, about 8 miles east of Salt Lake City, Utah. The plan of improvement provides for the constructon of a dam 253 feet high, creating a lake with a gross capacity of 30,000 acre-feet for flood control, municipal and indus- trial water supply, recreation, and fish and wildlife. The plan in- cludes facilities for diversion of water from Emigration Creek and from Parleys Creek. The lake would be operated in conjunction with the existing Mountain Dell Reservoir on Parleys Creek for flood control and water supply. The project would provide flood protection against snowmelt flooding in the 13th South Street area in Salt Lake City, now subject to periodic damaging flood inunda- tions from overflow of an underground conduit system that carries flows from Red Butte, Emigration, and Parleys Creeks; and would reduce flood peaks along the main stem of the Jordan River through the city of Salt Lake and downstream of the city. Floods of April-Ma 1952 and May 1983 caused estimated damages in urban areas of $y2.6 million and $10 million, respectively. Under current conditions of development and prices, the 1952 flood damages would amount to about $105,000,000, most of which would be pre- ventable by the project.

IL and MO Second Lock, Including Envi- ronmental Management.-Appropriations of funds for both Lock and Dam 26 (second lock) and environmental management of the upper Mississippi River system, ensures the coordinated develop- ment and enhancement of the system as both a nationally signifi- cant ecosystem and a nationally significant commercial navigation system. It is the Committee's intent that initial planning and design of the navigation and environmental improvements are to be under- taken simultaneously on equal fiscal footing, to the extent practica- ble and engineeringly feasible. This process represents a commit- ment to the balanced use, development and protection of the river resources recommended for the management of the upper Missis- sippi River system in pending authorizing legislation. This advance engineering and design work provides for the timely construction of the recommended project. Furthermore, it provides a like amount to the Secretary of the Army, including sums for use by transfer to the Secretary of the Interior, for initial activities related to programs for long-term resource monitoring, habitat rehabilitation and enhancement, recreation improvements and studies, traffic monitoring, and computerized inventory and analysis. It is the intent of Congress to implement such programs so that significant progress can be made in advance of navigation capacity expansion resulting from the use of the new locks at Lock and Dam 26. Locks and Dam No. 26, second lock, would be located adjacent to the Lock and Dam 26 (replacement) in the Mississippi River at Madison County, IL, and St. Charles County, MO, River mile 200.8 above the mouth of the Ohio River in the vicinity of Alton, IL, ap- proximately 2 miles downstream from the existing Locks and Dam 26. Locks and Dam No. 26 are strategic to the movement of com- modities up and down the Mississippi and Illinois Rivers. Any dis- ruption of the single-lock operation could bring shipping to a halt. A second lock, 600 feet in length, would be capable of keeping traf- fic moving and minimizing delays that could result during routine maintenance or as a result of unexpected emergencies that could occur in the main lock. In addition, the second lock would increase the capacity to pass traffic on the river. (Report of the Upper Mis- sissippi River Basin Commission, January 1982.) Merced County Streams, CA.-The project authorized by the 1970 Flood Control Act, is located in Merced County in the vicinWar of the city of Merced, Calif., on the streams draining from the i- posa County foothills of the Sierra Nevada into Merced County. The plan of improvement provides for construction of two new dams and modification of one existing dam, approximately 33.4 miles of levee, and channel improvement on Bear, Cottonwood, Fahrens, and Black Rascal Creeks. The project will provide flood protection to residential, commercial, and agricultural lands within and adjacent to the city of Merced and Castle Air Force Base. The population of Merced County was 90,440 in 1960, increased to 154,200 by 1984, and is expected to reach 177,000 by 2000. Rapid urbanization is increasing the severity of serious flooding problems that exist along the streams draining from the Sierra Nevada into Merced County.

(Report of the Chief of Engineers April 9, 1983.) Missouri National Recreational River, NE and SD.-The project, authorized under Sec. 707 of the National Parks and Recreation Act of 1978 (P.L. 95-625), is located on the Missouri River between Gavins Point Dam, South Dakota, and Ponca State Park, Nebras- ka. The project consists of the development of this reach of the river to protect and enhance the qualities which resulted in its beinlK classified as a National Recreational River under the Wild and Scenic River System. These qualities include scenic, recreation- al, fish and wildlife, and cultural values. Erosion control is essen- tial to protect these qualities. Under a Department of the Army- Department of Interior Cooperative Agreement, the Corps of Engi- neers is responsible for construction and maintenance of bank sta- bilization work and appropriate recreational development. Designa- tion as a Recreational River will preserve outstanding and impor- tant scenic values and will provide additional opportunities for river access and recreation use. The project would provide for 563,000 general visitor days for recreation and 187,000 visitor days for fish and wildlife recreation, annually. Erosion control, consist- ing of river management techniques designed to preserve the exist- ing environment, would at the same time preserve high bank flood plain lands. Mobile Harbor, AL.-Mobile Harbor is in southwestern Alabama at the junction of Mobile River and Mobile Bay. The harbor serves Mobile and an extensive portion of the United States. The southern end of Mobile Bay opens into the Gulf of Mexico. The proposed im- provement provides for deepening the existing main ship channel from 40 feet to 55 feet. Current problems attending navigation relate to efficiency of operation, maneuveing difficulties, and higher transportation costs which result from the need to use smaller and/or light-loaded vessels in serving the port. Changes in both vessel characteristics and commodity movements indicate that modifications to the harbor are necessary to maintain efficient, safe and economical operations. (Report of the Chief of Engineers, Nov. 18, 1981.) Moriches Inlet, N.Y.-Moriches Inlet is an opening through the narrow, sandy barrier beach on the south shore of Long Island which separates the Atlantic Ocean from a series of interconnected bays. The inlet is in Suffolk County and is 80 miles by water east of the Battery, New York City. The project, authorized by the 1960 River and Harbor Act, provides for an entrance channel 10 feet deep and 200 feet wide from the Atlantic Ocean to Moriches Bay, and an inner channel 6 feet deep and 100 feet wide from the bay to the Long Island Intercoastal Waterway.

The plan of improvement would provide adequate and safe access for boats. Also, the project would provide refuge and reduce storm damages to vessels. Norfolk Harbor, VA.-The project is located in Hampton Roads, VA., a 25-square mile natural harbor serving the ports of Norfolk, Newsport News, Portsmouth, Chesapeake, and Hampton, VA. The recommended project provides for deepening the main channels from 45 to 55 feet and other channels to lesser depths, along with construction of fixed mooring anchorage areas. Hampton Roads is a natural roadstead of 25 square miles forming one of the finest nat- ural harbors in the world. Domestic and foreign commerce in the port amounted to over 59,000,000 tons in 1979. The movement of this volume of waterborne commerce, together with the presence of major naval facilities, has made Hampton Roads one of the Na- tion's leading ports. (Report of the Chief of Engineers, Nov. 20, 1981.) Parker Lake, OK.-The project would be located on Muddy Boggy Creek, Coal County, Oklahoma, about twenty miles east of Ada, Oklahoma. The improvement consists of an earthfill dam, a gated outlet works for floods control and water supply, and a 600-foot wide spillway. The dam would be about 2,000 feet long with a maxi- mum height of about 100 feet above the streambed. The lake cre- ated would have a total storage capacity of 237,000 acre-feet, con- sisting of 115,400 acre-feet for flood control, 114,650 acre-feet for water supply, and 6,950 acre-feet for sediment reserve. The recom- mended project includes a wildlife mitigation plan that provides for management of 4,250 acres of land for wildlife purposes. (Report of the Chief of Engineers, May 30, 1980.) Pearl River, Slidell, St. Tammany Parish, LA.-The City of Sli- dell and other communities in St. Tammany Parish, Louisiana, have experienced three floods of record since 1979 resulting from high stages on the Pearl River. In April 1983, record stages oc- curred, devastating numerous businesses and as many as 1,000 homes causing over $100,000,000 in damages. Investigations being finalized by the Corps of Engineers indicated that a number of measures could reduce flood damage, including channel modifica- tions, levees, drainage structures and bridge modifications. Floods damage relief is critically needed in this-the fastest growing area of Louisiana. The Corps of Engineers is directed to expedite measures to reduce this flooding problem and within available funds is directed to undertake such structural and non- structural measures as deemed feasible to prevent flood damage to communities in the Pearl River Basin, St. Tammany Parish, Louisi- ana. (Draft Report of the District Engineer, Vicksburg, dated March 1985.) Port Ontario Harbor, NY.-The Port Ontario Harbor, located on Lake Ontario in Oswego County at the mouth of the Salmon River was authorized as one of 21 harbors-of-refuge for shallow-draft ves- sels to create a chain of refuge harbors along the Great Lakes shoreline.

(1945 River and Harbor Act). Richmond Harbor, CA.-The project is located in the northeast- ern portion of San Francisco Bay in Contra Costa County adjacent to the city of Richmond. The plan of improvement provides for wid- ening existing channels; enlargement of existing turning basin; construction of a new turning basin; and deepening of all channels and basins to 41 feet from the currently existing depths of 35 feet. Growth of foreign and coastwise shipments and the introduction of larger vessels in the world fleet have rendered the existing 35 foot deep channels and turning basin at Richmond Harbor inadequate and inefficient for modern transportation needs. Maneuvering of vessels is restricted and the channels are too shallow for larger containerships and other vessels which must await high tide to navigate. Due to long delays and the hazard of grounding, efficient cargo movement is impaired. (Report of the Chief of Engineers, August 8, 1982.) Richmond, VA local protection project. -The project is located in the City of Richmond and is bordered on the north by Henrico County and on the south by Chesterfield County. The James River flows directly through Richmond separating its business district into the Shockoe Creek area on the north bank and the South im- provement provides for construction of floodwalls and levees to protect against a flood 15.4 feet above the March 1936 flood, or 6.4 feet above the June 1972 flood, on both sides of the river in down- town Richmond. (As contained in House Document 98-178.) Sacramento River Deep Water Ship Channel, CA.-The project area extends from Avon in Suisun Bay to Collinsville and in the existing Sacramento River deep water ship channel from Collins- ville to the Port of Sacramento, Calif. The recommended project consists primarily of deepening to 35 feet the Suisun Bay and exist- ing Sacramento River deep water ship channel from New York Slough to the Port of Sacramento, and the Avon to New York Slough reach to 35 feet which will be accomplished under the San Francisco Bay to Stockton project. Problems and needs associated with waterborne transportation in the existing Sacramento River deep water channel results from inadequate waterways and related facilities to accommodate vessels currently using the channel, thus causing inefficiencies and unsafe conditions.

Savannah Harbor Widening, GA.-The existing project is located in Chatham County, Georgia on the South Atlantic Coast, 75 miles south of Charleston Harbor, South Carolina, and 120 miles north of Jacksonville Harbor, Florida. The recommended plan provides for modification of the harbor by widening the navigation channel be- tween the present upstream limit of the 500-foot channel (Fig Island Turning Basin) and the Kings Island Turning Basin from 400 to 500 feet, a distance of 5.6 miles. The increased density of shipping traffic in the upper harbor is creating a serious shipping hazard due to the narrowness of the channel. Because of the re- strictions of this narrow channel, vessel speeds must be reduced. This results in increased transit time and costs for those vessels which must navigate this portion of the harbor. Since 93 percent of Approved For Release 2011/09/27: CIA-RDP87MOl007R000500990002-3 Approved For Release 2011/09/27: CIA-RDP87MOl007R000500990002-3 the vessels that call at Savannah Harbor enter this portion of the harbor, the speed reduction affects most of the harbor's commerce. (Report of the Chief of Engineers, dated December 19, 1978.) Tampa Harbor Branch Channels, including East Bay Channel Maintenance, FL.-Tampa Harbor is located about midway along the Gulf Coast of Florida, in Tampa and Hillsborough Bays. The Gulf entrance is about 330 miles southeast of Pensacola Harbor and 220 miles north of Key West Harbor. The Branch Channels project, authorized by the River and Harbor Act of 1970, consists of deepening Hillsborough Bay Cut D, Sparkman Channel, Port Tampa Channel, and existing turning basins at the entrance to Ybor Channel and at Port Tampa. The city's terminals and port fa- cilities serve as the commercial hub for this region with highway and railway networks extending through and beyond the tributary area. Waterborne commerce of the area passes through the termi- nals of Tampa Harbor in both foreign and domestic movements. Total volume through the port represents about one-half of the total volume through all deepwater ports in the State. Commerce on the Branch Channels was about 13 million tons in 1982 for pe- troleum products and sulphur, and is estimated to exceed 35 mil- lion tons by 2030. East Bay Channel and the terminal area it serves is located in the northeast section of Tampa Harbor between Hillsborough and McKay Bays. The authorized Federal project for East Bay includes an entrance channel and an extension along the eastern shore of the bay, 2,500 feet long, 300 feet wide, and 43 feet deep. In 1966, the Tampa Port Authority dredged a part of East Bay not in the authorized Federal project to a depth of 34 feet. The selected plan consists of providing Federal maintenance of a chan- nel about 5,500 feet long, 300 feet wide, and 34 feet deep, extending northward from the authorized East Bay Channel, terminating in an irregularly shaped turning basin at that same depth. The City of Tampa is one of Florida's largest industrial and distribution cen- ters for an area with a radius of over 100 miles, which includes Hillsborough and 16 adjacent counties. Commodities moving through East Bay consist primarily of general cargo and phosphate products. The high shoaling rate in East Bay has restricted the size of vessels that can use the waterway and terminal facilities. There is a need for continued dredging to maintain adequate channel depths for existing and future vessel traffic. (Report of the Chief of Engineers, dated January 25, 1979.) Virginia Beach streams, canal No. 2, Virginia.-The project is lo- cated within the corporate limits of the City of Virginia Beach, Vir- ginia. The City consists of 255 square miles of primarily low flat terrain, with about 75 percent of the area below elevation 15 feet mean sea level. In the Canal No. 2 watershed, the flow of water during flood situations is retarded by the exsting channel, and by constrictions of flow at bridges over the waterway. During periods of high runoff, the existing canal cannot satisfactorily drain storm waters away from the developed portions of the area. Consequent- ly, direct flooding from excessive water levels in the existing canal causes the adjacent development to suffer damage. In addition, flood conditions in the canal proper retard lateral flow from storm sewers and open drainage ditches. (Section 201 of the 1965 Flood Control Act.) Approved For Release 2011/09/27: CIA-RDP87MOl007R000500990002-3 Approved For Release 2011/09/27: CIA-RDP87M0l007R000500990002-3 William Bacon Oliver Lock and Dam, AL.-Oliver Lock and Dam is located at mile 388 on the Black Warrior-Tombigbee (BWT) Wa- terway at Tuscaloosa, AL. The existing lock has dimensions of 95' x 460'. A new lock is proposed at a site 2,700 feet downstream of the existing Oliver Lock. The new lock would be on the opposite bank, have a lift of 28 feet, and chamber dimensions of 110' x 600'. The chief reason for delay at Oliver is the chamber size, since it does not accommodate the typical tow size used on the waterway. A standard barge is 35' x 195' and is typically made up in a 6-barge tow which has to break into sections to lock through Oliver. Oliver is the only lock in the BWT system with dimensions not equal to 110' x 600'. The maneuvering involved, plus the long locking time, causes a line to build at the lock, including delays. The new lock would accommodate the typical 6-barge tow with a single lockage significantly reducing delays. (Report of the Chief of Engineers, September 26, 1984.) Amendment No. 113: Reported in technical disagreement. The managers on the part of the House will offer a motion to recede and concur in the amendment of the Senate regarding the South Metropolitan Atlanta Region, Georgia study. Amendment No. 114: Deletes language regarding the Red River Basin Comprehensive Study and the Arkansas River and Tributar- ies, South Central and Southeast Areas of Oklahoma Comprehen- sive Study as proposed by the House. The conferees are aware that the Great Salt Lake has reached its highest level since 1873. The lake has risen nearly 12 feet since 1981 and has caused an estimated $130,000,000 damage to sur- rounding private and public property. To date, total State and local expenditures for flood damage control measures exceed $143,000,000. The Committee recognizes that while expenditures to date by the Government on this problem have not been large, siza- ble future Federal expenditures may be required in order to protect facilities and areas around the lake. In order to determine the Federal interest, the Committee directs the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to conduct reconnaissance stud- ies around the lake with emphasis on the Bear River, Rose Park, Jordan River, the lake shore west of Corrine and Bountiful cities, and the areas to be affected by west desert pumping. Such studies should be conducted promptly during 1985 using available funds. The conference agreement includes $100,000 for the Corps of En- gineers to begin a study of the flooding problems in Smithtown, NY. Amendment No. 115: Deletes rescission proposed by the Senate. Amendment No. 116: Restores language proposed by the House and stricken by the Senate regarding land acquisition at inland navigation projects. Amendment No. 117: Earmarks $15,000,000 for construction of the Elk Creek Lake, Oregon project as proposed by the Senate. Funds are made available until expended consistent with existing law (31 U.S.C. 1301(c)(1), (2)). The conferees have no objection to the Corps proceeding with the Town Bluff hydroelectric project as proposed, with the understand- ing that the project can be undertaken under existing law and au- thorities.

The conferees note that the Corps of Engineers has recently re- leased funds for construction of a small flood control project in the City of Argyle, Minnesota, under circumstances which have raised questions as to whether the City must pay approximately $123,000 for certain road relocation and ramp raising costs. In the past, these costs have not been considered to be a non-Federal responsi- bility for projects authorized under section 205 of the Flood Control Act of 1948. The conferees direct that the Corps constuct the project with the costs of the road relocation and ramp raisings to be borne by the Federal Government. Amendment No. 118: Deletes rescission proposed by the Senate. FLOOD CONTROL AND COASTAL EMERGENCIES Amendment No. 119: Appropriates $25,000,000 for flood control and coastal emergencies as proposed by the House instead of $10,000,000 as proposed by the Senate.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY Amendment No. 141: Restores language proposed by the House and stricken by the Senate and deletes language proposed by the Senate concerning construction of an electrical transmission line. In Public Law 98-360, Congress authorized the Secretary of Energy to participate in the construction of additional transmission facilities necessary to allow mutually beneficial power sales be- tween the Pacific Northwest and California. The Secretary has par- ticipated in the development of a plan for construction, operation, and use of a third 500-kV AC transmission line from the Pacific Northwest to California as described in a memorandum of under- standing for the California-Oregon transmission project dated De- cember 19, 1984. After a public hearing on the plan, the Secretary approved the memorandum of understanding with conditions which he felt were necessary to protect the United States and all interested persons not party to the memorandum of understanding. In a letter dated May 4, 1985, the Department of Energy, through its Acting General Counsel, clarified the conditions established by the Secretary. On May 14, 1985, the signatories to the memoran- dum of understanding accepted the Secretary's conditions, as clari- fied by the Department's letter, as the basis for proceeding with the plan for construction, operation, and use of the new line. The conferees have reviewed the memorandum of understanding as approved, conditioned, and clarified by the Department of Energy (the memorandum). The conferees conclude that the plan for construction, operation, and use of the new line in accordance with the memorandum will permit power sales between the Pacific Northwest and California and that those sales will be of significant benefit to both regions and in the public interest. Furthermore, construction in northern California of the new line will, without any expenditure of Federal funds, increase Federal revenues through increased sales of power by the Bonneville Power Adminis- tration. It is the conferees' intention that nothing in this act or the memorandum shall affect the authority of the Bonneville Power Administration in any way and particularly with respect to whole- sale power rates, transmission rates, or regulation of access to fed- erally controlled transmission facilities. This intent is reflected in the exchange of correspondence between Senator Mark Hatfield (letter dated January 31, 1985) and Secretary of Energy Donald Hodel (letter dated February 4, 1985). The conferees have also in- cluded bill language which clearly states that such authorities remain unaffected by the act. The plan for construction, operation, and use of the new line has gone through extensive public review and the conferees believe it is consistent with the Federal Power Act, and that act's underlying goals and policies. Accordingly, to the extent that the memoran- dum or mutually agreed upon contractual provisions which imple- ment the memorandum are subject to review and approval by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, they should not be modi- Approved For Release 2011/09/27: CIA-RDP87MOl007R000500990002-3 Approved For Release 2011/09/27: CIA-RDP87MOl007R000500990002-3 fied so as to change the plan and should be reviewed in an expedi- tious manner. Amendment No. 142: Deletes language proposed by the Senate prohibiting the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission from as- sessing annual charges on certain irrigation facilities. Amendment No. 143: Reported in technical disagreement. The managers on the part of the House will offer a motion to recede and concur in the amendment of the Senate transferring prior year appropriations from Uranium Supply and Enrichment to the Geo- thermal Resources Development Fund. Amendment No. 144: Deletes rescission proposed by the Senate. Amendment No. 145: Reported in technical disagreement. The managers on the part of the House will offer a motion to recede and concur in the amendment of the Senate rescinding $8,280,000 of funds appropriated for Atomic Energy Defense Activities. Amendment No. 146: Deletes rescission proposed by the Senate. The conferees agree with Senate report language concerning use of $2,700,000 to complete a double-wall steam generator provided that no further Federal funds will be available for this project and that only CFBR termination or civilian nuclear research funds be used. The conferees agree with Senate report language dealing with the use of $200,000 to test the use of feedlot waste at a Federally supported biofuels energy facility. The conferees agree with Senate report language directing the Department of Energy to reprogram $2,500,000 to maintain the schedule on the Mod-5 wind turbine and expect the Department to proceed expeditiously to assure this occurs. The conferees concur with the Senate direction regarding the uranium supply and enrichment program and expect the De- partment to assure that a smooth transition takes place that pro- vides to the maximum extent possible for employee placement ac- tivities, technology transfer and documentation of efforts in centri- fuge research and development. The conferees agree with the Senate report language regarding Miles City, Montana. CHAPTER V FOREIGN ASSISTANCE DEPARTMENT OF STATE INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS AND PROGRAMS (BY TRANSFER) Amendment No. 147: Reported in technical disagreement. The managers on the part of the House will offer a motion to recede and concur in the amendment of the Senate with an amendment as follows: In lieu of the matter stricken and inserted by said amendment, insert the following: $3,600,000 to be derived by transfer from the "Economic Support Fund" for Lebanon as provided in Public Law 98- 63: Provided, That these funds shall be available only for the International Atomic Energy Agency: Provided further, Approved For Release 2011/09/27: CIA-RDP87MOl007R000500990002-3 Approved For Release 2011/09/27: CIA-RDP87MOl007R000500990002-3 That no funds shall be obligated after the date of enact- ment of this Act for the International Atomic Energy Agency unless the Secretary of State determines and so re- ports to the Committees on Appropriations that Israel is not being denied its right to fully participate in the activities of that Agency, including the rights, privileges or benefits that that Agency accords to all of its members The managers on the part of the Senate will move to concur in the amendment of the House to the amendment of the Senate. The conferees agree to transfer $3,600,000 in funds for the Inter- national Atomic Energy Agency instead of $5,686,000 as proposed by the House and $2,843,000 as proposed by the Senate. The trans- fer is to be derived from available Economic Support Funds for Lebanon. The conferees also agree to include language proposed by the Senate that the transferred funds cannot be obligated unless the Secretary of State determines and reports to the Appropriations Committees that Israel is not being denied its right to participate in the activities of the International Atomic Energy Agency, in- cluding rights, privileges or benefits that the IAEA gives to all of its members. BILATERAL ECONOMIC ASSISTANCE AGENCY FOR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT POPULATION, DEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCE Amendment No. 148: Reported in technical disagreement. The managers on the part of the House will offer a motion to recede and concur in the amendment of the Senate. The Senate amend- ment specifies that the President is to determine whether any or- ganization or program should be prohibited from receiving popula- tion development assistance because they support or participate in the management of a program of coercive abortion. The conferees agree with the Senate position that this issue is of such significance that the determination should be made by the President of the United States. Further the conferees agree that if this responsibility is delegated, it is expected that the responsibility for making the required determination would, if delegated, be dele- gated only to the Secretary of State. The conferees also agree that if the language in this provision prevents the use of population funds earmarked for a program they should be reprogrammed for other population programs consistent with the provision. Amendment No. 149: Reported in technical disagreement. The managers on the part of the House will offer a motion to recede and concur in the amendment of the Senate. The Senate amend- ment adds programs of involuntary sterilization to the House lan- guage prohibiting the use of funds to any organization or program which supports or participates in the management of a program of coercive abortion. The conferees agree that if the application of the amended provi- sion prevents the use of population funds otherwise earmarked for Approved For Release 2011/09/27: CIA-RDP87MOl007R000500990002-3 Approved For Release 2011/09/27: CIA-RDP87MOl007R000500990002-3 a program or activity, such funds may be reprogrammed for other population programs that are consistent with this provision. Amendment No. 150: Reported in technical disagreement. The managers on the part of the House will offer a motion to recede and concur in the amendment of the Senate with an amendment as follows: In lieu of the matter stricken and inserted by said amendment, insert the following: $2,258,000,000.? Provided, That of the funds provided by this paragraph $250,000,000 shall be made available, and shall remain available for obligation for Jordan until Sep- tember 30, 1987, only in accordance with the schedule of availability set forth in section 402(a)(1) and section 402(a)(2) of this Act: Provided further, That of the funds provided in this paragraph for Jordan, not more than 331/3 percent may be disbursed before September 30, 1985; not more than 50 percent may be disbursed before March 31, 1986; not more than 663/3 percent may be disbursed before September 30, 1986; and, not more than 85 percent may be disbursed before March 31, 1987.? Provided further, That notwithstanding any other provision of law, funds provided in this Act for Jordan, if not utilized for programs, projects, or other activities in Jordan, must be returned to the United States Treasury: Provided further, The managers on the part of the Senate will move to concur in the amendment of the House to the amendment of the Senate. The amendments to the Senate language are technical in nature and clarify that the funds for Jordan are available through Fiscal Year 1987 and correct a section number that was referenced in the Senate language. The conferees agree that the $250 million provided for Jordan is a one time emergency supplemental that is needed to provide for urgent economic problems and to encourage further progress in Middle East Peace initiatives. Amendment No. 151: Deletes House language requiring the sub- mission of an official supplemental request for Economic Support Funds for Israel, Egypt and the Middle East Regional Program, as proposed by the Senate. The Administration has now forwarded a supplemental for these areas. Amendment No. 152: Deletes language proposed by the Senate which required that $750 million in Economic Support Funds for Israel be disbursed within 30 days of enactment of the Supplemen- tal. The conferees agree that the Administration is to move quickly to disburse funds that Israel needs to meet its most urgent econom- ic needs and to provide assistance on a responsible and timely basis. Amendment No. 153: Reported in technical disagreement. The managers on the part of the House will offer a motion to recede and concur in the amendment of the Senate with an amendment as follows: Approved For Release 2011/09/27: CIA-RDP87MOl007R000500990002-3 Approved For Release 2011/09/27: CIA-RDP87MOl007R000500990002-3 In lieu of the matter stricken and inserted by said amendment, insert the following: funds provided by this paragraph shall be made available notwithstanding section 10 of Public Law 91-672.? Provided further, That the funds provided by this paragraph for Israel and Egypt shall be made available as cash grant transfers: Provided further, That not less than the Egyp- tian pound equivalent of $50,000,000 generated from funds made available by this paragraph, or from any other source, shall be deposited into the Trust Funds established by the Trust Account Agreement of 1980 to be used for United States' supported programs in Egypt pursuant to the United States-Egypt Economic, Technical and Related As- sistance Agreements of 1978 which provide for local curren- cy requirements for programs of the United States in Egypt to be made available to the United States in the manner requested by the Government: Provided further, That prior to depositing funds into the Trust Fund, the Secretary of State shall notify the Appropriations Committees of both Houses of the Congress fifteen days in advance as to how the endowment is to be managed, where the funds will be deposited, the interest rate to be secured, and the proce- dures to be used in establishing, operating, and disbursing endowment funds: Provided further, The managers on the part of the Senate will move to concur in the amendment of the House to the amendment of the Senate. The conferees agree under this amendment to waive authoriza- tion requirements, as proposed by the Senate. This action was taken due to the need to obligate funds in this supplemental and the likelihood that authorization action will not immediately occur. The conferees also agree to Senate language clarifying that the $500 million in Economic Support Funds for Egypt is to be a cash grant transfer. The conferees agree that the Government of Egypt should, to the maximum extent possible, use local currencies gener- ated by the cash transfer to undertake additional development ac- tivities and to assist efforts of economic reform. The conferees under this amendment also agree that $50 million in local currencies generated by the Egyptian Economic Support Fund Program be used for an endowment fund for the American University of Cairo. The conferees have recommended $50 million for the endowment instead of the $65 million recommended by the Senate.

The Director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency shall review the reported condition of the "street people" and other disadvantaged people in cities and coun- ties throughout the Nation, including those reported in Tunica County, Mississippi, and report to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations his recommendations for correcting or improving the situation which exists. The managers on the part of the Senate will move to concur in the amendment of the House to the amendment of the Senate. The conference agreement provides $20,000,000 for the emergen- cy food and shelter program, instead of $110,000,000 as proposed by the Senate. This funding is intended to carry the program through the balance of 1985. It is anticipated that additional funding will be provided for this program in connection with the regular 1986 ap- propriation bill. Amendment No. 167: Reported in technical disagreement. The managers on the part of the House will offer a motion to recede and concur in the amendment of the Senate transferring $3,100,000 to salaries and expenses from emergency management planning and assistance, amended to transfer $1,105,000. The managers on the part of the Senate will move to concur in the amendment of the House to the amendment of the Senate. NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION Amendment No. 168: Reported in technical disagreement. The managers on the part of the House will offer a motion to recede and concur in the amendment of the Senate with an amendment as follows: For an additional amount for "Research and develop- ment"; $40,000,000, to remain available until September 30, 1986.? Provided, That this amount shall be deferred and shall not become available until March 1, 1986. The managers on the part of the Senate will move to concur in the amendment of the House to the amendment of the Senate. The Committee of Conference has included $40,000,000 to partial- ly offset a cost overrun in the shuttle centaur program. Currently, the overrun is estimated at approximately $110,000,000-of which Approved For Release 2011/09/27: CIA-RDP87MOl007R000500990002-3 Approved For Release 2011/09/27: CIA-RDP87MOl007R000500990002-3 about $90,000,000 is associated with NASA and the balance with the Air Force. The conferees agree to the $40,000,000 with the pro- vision that the money shall not become available until March 1, 1986. The delay in the obligation of the funds will permit NASA and the Committees on Appropriations to continue to review shut- tle centaur program development problems. In that connection, before the funds are released, the conferees request that NASA submit an accounting of the use of the $40,000,000 and any addi- tional funds required to meet the current anticipated overrun or any requirements derived from new technical problems or further schedule slippage. Amendment No. 169: Inserts language proposed by the Senate providing that only $4,000,000 of the $6,000,000 research and pro- gram management rescission be pursuant to section 2901 of the Deficit Reduction Act of 1984, instead of $6,000,000 as proposed by the House. NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION Amendment No. 170: Reported in technical disagreement. The managers on the part of the House will offer a motion to recede and concur in the amendment of the Senate appropriating $100,000 for research and related activities to support the Arctic Research Commission. The conferees are aware that the Commissioners of the Arctic Research Commission were sworn in only four months ago. The result has been that a comprehensive estimate of the resources needed for the Commission in fiscal year 1985 was formulated prior to the beginning of their tenure, making accurate projections diffi- cult. Therefore the conferees agree that an additional $100,000 is to be provided to the National Science Foundation in fiscal year 1985 for the activities of the Commission. Together with the $150,000 the Foundation previously reprogrammed from its budget for the Com- mission, this brings the total budget for the Commission in fiscal year 1985 to $250,000. The conferees have also agreed that due to overall Federal spending constraints, the Commission's funding for fiscal year 1986 should be supported at a level not to exceed the fiscal year 1986 request of $300,000. This amount represents a 20 percent increase over the newly established level for fiscal year 1985.

The manag- ers on the part of the Senate will move to concur in the amend- ment of the House to the amendment of the Senate. The amount provided includes $500,000 for additional costs neces- sary to feed wild horses and burros which have been taken off the range; $45,000,000 to repay funds used in fiscal year 1984 for fire- fighting costs; and $70,000,000 to offset extraordinary firefighting costs being incurred by BLM in fiscal year 1985. This appropriation will reduce the amount required in the fiscal year 1986 supplemen- tal to repay costs incurred in fiscal year 1985. Amendment No. 179: Reported in technical disagreement. The managers on the part of the House will offer a motion to recede and concur in the amendment of the Senate which appropriates $825,000 for design of a building for the Bureau of Land Manage- ment in Fairbanks, Alaska and makes $20,000 available to pave the street and build the sidewalk and curb in front of the BLM district office in Worland, Wyoming. U.S. FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE Amendment No. 180: Reported in technical disagreement. The managers on the part of the House will offer a motion to recede and concur in the amendment of the Senate with an amendment as follows: In lieu of the matter inserted by said amendment, insert the fol- lowing: Approved For Release 2011/09/27: CIA-RDP87MOl007R000500990002-3 Approved For Release 2011/09/27: CIA-RDP87MOl007R000500990002-3 LAND ACQUISITION For an additional amount for "Land acquisition $1,000,000, to be derived from the Land and Water Conser- vation Fund, to remain available until expended.

NATIONAL PARK SERVICE Amendment No. 181: Deletes rescission of $94,000 for National Recreation and Preservation proposed by the Senate. Amendment No. 182: Reported in technical disagreement. The managers on the part of the House will offer a motion to recede and concur in the amendment of the Senate which adds the ac- count title "Land acquisition and state assistance (including rescis- sion)". Amendment No. 183: Reported in technical disagreement. The managers on the part of the House will offer a motion to recede and concur in the amendment of the Senate with an amendment as follows: In lieu of the matter inserted by said amendment, insert the fol- lowing: For an additional amount for "Land acquisition and state assistance"; $22,000,000, to be derived from the Land and Water Conservation Fund, to remain available until expended. The managers on the part of the Senate will move to concur in the amendment of the House to the amendment of the Senate. The amendment clarifies that the appropriation is to be derived from the Land and Water Conservation Fund. There have been a number of complaints in recent years that non-profit organizations have shopped for appraisals that escalate the fair market value and drive up acquisition prices on related tracts. Further, some non-profits have acquired options or fee title to parcels and have not disclosed the financial considerations or other details of these transactions to the acquiring Federal agency prior to the transfer of title. The managers urge the Secretary to resume third party acquisi- tions under conditions that ensure appraisal shopping is discontin- ued and direct the Federal agencies to establish procedures for con- fidentially handling the details of options or fee acquisitions involv- ing third party organizations. Details of future third party acquisi- tions must be disclosed to the acquiring Federal agency prior to completing transfer of title, but letters of intent are not required. Amendment No. 184: Reported in technical disagreement. The managers on the part of the House will offer a motion to recede and concur in the amendment of the Senate which rescinds $52,000 from "Land acquisition and state assistance" pursuant to section 2901 of the Deficit Reduction Act. Approved For Release 2011/09/27: CIA-RDP87MOl007R000500990002-3 Approved For Release 2011/09/27: CIA-RDP87MOl007R000500990002-3 Amendment No. 185: Reported in technical disagreement. The managers on the part of the House will offer a motion to recede and concur in the amendment of the Senate which makes funds available to the Cumberland Gap National Historical Park for the operation of the Cumberland Gap Tunnel and access roads avail- able only to the extent provided for in a memorandum of under- standing to be negotiated between the Secretary of the Interior and the governors of the States of Kentucky and Tennessee. The agree- ment, at a minimum, should provide for the States of Kentucky and Tennessee to maintain the Cumberland Gap Tunnel and access roads in the Cumberland Gap National Historical Park. Within existing funds $250,000 is made available for a study of the feasibility and desirability of making Chicago's Navy Pier a recreational and cultural unit within the National Park System under the operating jurisdiction of a commission made up of per- sons appointed by the Mayor of Chicago and the Secretary of the Interior or persons appointed by the Mayor of Chicago, the Gover- nor of Illinois and the Secretary of the Interior with appropriate cost-sharing by Federal and city or Federal, State and city govern- ments. In making the study, the National Park Service shall con- sult and cooperate with the Mayor of Chicago, the Governor of Illi- nois and other appropriate public officials. Consultation may also be had with schools of design and architecture, symposia and forums on the subject, including a review of the Mooney plan, and including the prospective costs, and means of financing such costs whether private, public or both; and to report back with its find- ings within six months to the appropriate Committees of the Con- gress. The study should address the appropriateness of a commis- sion to facilitate State, local and Federal cooperation such as exists with the Illinois and Michigan National Heritage Corridor Commis- sion and the Lowell National Historic Preservation Commission. The model of the cooperative arrangement between the Federal government and the State of New Jersey to protect and preserve the Pinelands areas may also be useful. Amendment No. 186: Deletes language proposed by the Senate with respect to the National Capital region arts and cultural af- fairs program. MINERALS MANAGEMENT SERVICE Amendment No. 187: Restores language proposed by the House and stricken by the Senate and deletes language proposed by the Senate specifying authorization under section 111 (b) and (d) of the Federal Oil and Gas Royalty Management Act of 1982 for the Min- erals Management Service to pay late interest payments from min- eral leasing receipts to State and Indian accounts. Amendment No. 188: Deletes technical correction proposed by the Senate. The managers agree that within the recommended amount, $88,431 is included to pay interest to the Chippewa Cree Tribe of the Rocky Boy's Reservation. This action is not to be seen as set- ting a precedent for earmarking late interest payments in the future. In May 1985, the General Accounting Office issued a report, "Examination of Funds Received by the Federal Government Approved For Release 2011/09/27: CIA-RDP87MOl007R000500990002-3 Approved For Release 2011/09/27: CIA-RDP87MOl007R000500990002-3 Under Leases of Mineral Rights on the Bullhook Gas Unit" (GAO/ RCED-85-52) stating that the Chippewa Cree Tribe of the Rocky Boy's Reservation had been underpaid by $88,431. Due to the find- ings of this audit, and the fact that the fiscal year 1985 supplemen- tal request preceded issuance of this report, the managers have agreed to make this exception. OFFICE OF SURFACE MINING Amendment No. 189: Delete center heading proposed by the Senate. Amendment No. 190: Deletes rescission proposed by the Senate, and as a consequence, makes $546,000 available to the Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement to be utilized for staff to conduct an inventory of the number of two acre sites re- quiring inspection in Virginia and Kentucky, to inspect those sites to see if the exemptions are valid, and to have inspectors available to testify in court if necessary as proposed by the House. BUREAU OF INDIAN AFFAIRS Amendment No. 191: Appropriates $23,423,000 for operation of Indian programs as proposed by the Senate instead of $19,818,000 as proposed by the House. The managers agree that funds shall be reprogrammed from the economic development grant program as follows: $2,900,000 for gen- eral assistance payments; $72,000 for the Ute Mountain Ute energy development program; $800,000 for water studies; and $100,000 for activities associated with the Pacific Salmon Treaty Act of 1985. The managers agree that $245,000 shall be reprogrammed from the "638" contract monitoring activity to the Point-No-Point fisheries management program. The managers agree that a total of $1,350,000 is provided for high priority water studies for support of negotiation or litigation. Funds for the Salmon Treaty shall be used to develop a memo- randum of understanding between the Bureau of Indian Affairs, the Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Oceanic and Atmos- pheric Administration which clearly sets forth the responsibilities of each agency under this Act. Once such agreement has been reached, funds will be provided in the appropriate accounts. The managers agree that all government-owned equipment at the Labre Indian School shall be transferred to that school at no cost. The managers direct that all contractors receive the same per- centage of their indirect costs in the current fiscal year as every other contractor. The Bureau of Indian Affairs shall report to the Congress by August 1, 1985 on actions taken to implement this di- rective. Amendment No. 192: Provides a transfer of funds from the Na- tional Capital region arts and cultural affairs account as proposed by the House instead of from road construction as proposed by the Senate.

Amendment No. 194: Reported in technical disagreement. The managers on the part of the House will offer a motion to recede and concur in the amendment of the Senate with an amendment as follows: In lieu of the matter proposed by said amendment, insert the fol- lowing: : Provided further, That no funds shall be paid to creditors of the Sangre de Cristo Development Company, Inc., whose claims are set aside by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Mexico: Provided further, That gen- eral assistance payments made by the Bureau of Indian Af- fairs after April 29, 1985 shall be made on the basis of Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) standards of need except where a state ratably reduces AFDC payments in which event the Bureau shall reduce general assistance payments in such state by the same percentage as the state has reduced the AFDC payment The managers on the part of the Senate will move to concur in the amendment of the House to the amendment of the Senate. The amendment relieves the Bureau of Indian Affairs from pay- ments to certain currently certified creditors of the Sangre de Cristo Development Company whose claims are subsequently disal- lowed by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court. The amendment also puts into law regulations promulgated by the Department of the Interi- or regarding general assistance payments which became effective April 29, 1985. Amendment No. 195: Defers obligation of $3,000,000 of construc- tion funds available to the Bureau of Indian Affairs as proposed by the House instead of no deferral as proposed by the Senate.

Amendment No. 200: Reported in technical disagreement. The managers on the part of the House will offer a motion to recede and concur in the amendment of the Senate with an amendment as follows: In lieu of the matter inserted by said amendment, insert the fol- lowing: To assure that National Forest timber under contract from the Mapleton District of the Siuslaw National Forest prior to enactment of the Federal Timber Contract Payment Modification Act remains available, the Secretary of Agri- culture is authorized to resell all timber which is defaulted or which is returned under provisions of the Federal Timber Contract Payment Modification Act and permit roads and other associated developments, notwithstanding any other provision of law, and notwithstanding the in- junctions issued in National Wildlife Federation et al. v. United States Forest Service et al., 592 F Supp. 931 (D. ORE. 1984) and in No. 84-4274 (9th Cir. March 6, 1985). Any such timber shall be available for resale from the date of enactment of this Act until dissolution of the aforesaid injunctions. The Secretary shall determine the potential en- vironmental degradation to streams or other bodies of water of timber sales returned pursuant to the Federal Timber Contract Payment Modification Act and shall char- acterize each sale s potential environmental impact as minimal, moderate, or serious. The Secretary shall give resale priority to those sales with the least risk of potential environmental degradation. Sales that are reoffered may be modified, including minor additions. Any decision of the Secretary of Agriculture to resell such timber shall not be subject to judicial review. The managers on the part of the Senate willl move to concur in the amendment of the House to the amendment of the Senate. Approved For Release 2011/09/27: CIA-RDP87M0l007R000500990002-3 Approved For Release 2011/09/27: CIA-RDP87MOl007R000500990002-3 The managers have agreed to bill language that will allow the Forest Service to resell timber on the Mapleton Ranger District of the Siuslaw National Forest, Oregon that has been returned pursu- ant to the Federal Timber Contract Payment Modification Act, in order to allow local mills to continue operations while the agency continues the development of the forest management plan. It is the managers' intention that timber resold under this provi- sion be a part of the normal sales program, based upon historical annual sales volumes of not to exceed 90 million board feet on the Mapleton Ranger District. The language allows minor modifica- tions, including additions, to sales which are reoffered and it is the managers' intention that such modifications or additions should be included only when necessary to formulate a viable timber sale. The language directs the Secretary to consider the environmen- tal consequences of each sale and to categorize each sale's environ- mental impact as minimal, moderate, or serious. In determining the environmental consequences, the Secretary shall consider rele- vant factors, including but not limited to the risk of soil movement, the effectiveness of soil erosion mitigation measures, the condition and importance of potentially affected streams and fish habitat, the cutting methods, and road specifications. The managers are confident that this will be an effective process for minimizing po- tential environmental degradation and intend to follow closely all timber sales made pursuant to this provision. Because the sales will be returned over a period of time, this will also permit the Sec- retary to evaluate and reoffer sales as they are returned. Once reoffered sales are defined and their degree of environmental impact assigned, they shall be available for public review for a period of 30 days before being reoffered. The managers agree that the bill language does not affect the in- junction currently in effect, as the timber to be resold is outside the scope of that injunction. Provided that enviornmental assess- ments have already been completed on such timber sales and will be upgraded prior to resale, the language further states that any decision of the Secretary to resell such timber, including the deter- mination and assignment of environmental impact risk shall not be subject to judicial review. Amendment No. 201: Reported in technical disagreement. The managers on the part of the House will offer a motion to recede and concur in the amendment of the Senate which states that the Forest Service shall continue to operate Equipment Development Facilities in San Dimas, California, and in Missoula, Montana, at least through the end of fiscal year 1986, and that funds and per- sonnel shall not be reduced by more than 10 percent from current levels. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY CLEAN COAL TECHNOLOGY The managers agree with the clean coal technology project guide- lines contained in Senate Report 99-82 with the following modifica- tions: I. GENERAL PROJECT GUIDELINES: Approved For Release 2011/09/27: CIA-RDP87MOl007R000500990002-3 Approved For Release 2011/09/27: CIA-RDP87MOl007R000500990002-3 2. The project should utilize or expand the utility of technol- ogies, techniques or processes which do not duplicate a com- mercial scale demonstration currently being conducted in the United States. 3. The clean coal technology, alone or in conjunction with other technologies, must result in emission levels that comply with or exceed Clean Air Act requirements, in a cost-effective manner. and, IV. ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS: 1. The commercial application of the clean coal technology for retrofit applications on fossil fuel-fired plants is likely to result in a reduction of emissions from the use of coal at a cost which is competitive with the cost of achieving comparable emission reductions by current technology. The managers agree that the clean coal technology project crite- ria contained in the Senate report provide useful guidance for the development of a competitive solicitation for cost-shared clean coal technology projects, and that the Department of Energy should im- mediately begin preparing such a solicitation document so that it can be issued as soon as possible after the beginning of fiscal year 1986, if funds are provided. To the extent that technologies tradi- tionally supported by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) are part of the solicitation or responses to it, as well as on environ- mental regulatory considerations, the Department should consult with EPA. FOSSIL ENERGY RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT Amendment No. 202: Reported in technical disagreement. The managers on the part of the House will offer a motion to recede and concur in the amendment of the Senate with an amendment that disapproves $39,154,000 of deferral D85-27A for fossil energy research and development instead of $38,925,000 as proposed by the House and $8,350,000 as proposed by the Senate. The managers on the part of the Senate will move to concur in the amendment of the House to the amendment of the Senate. The change from the amount of the deferral proposed to be dis- approved by the House consists of additional deferral disapprovals of $983,000 for materials work at Idaho National Engineering Labo- ratory, $492,000 for coal-fired diesel locomotives, and $150,000 for use of prior year balances, and additional deferrals of $983,000 for AR&TD phosphoric acid fuel cells, and $413,000 for AR&TD mate- rials work. The managers agree that the $150,000 out of prior year funds mentioned above should be used by the Department of Energy to conduct tests of the combustion catalyst, Glo-Klen. These tests are intended to ascertain whether the results of earlier tests conducted by Southern Illinois University are confirmed and establish param- eters for a commercial utility scale demonstration. The managers agree to the construction of a generic fluidization test center at the Morgantown Energy Technology Center using un- obligated funds available from prior years for fluidized bed re- search and development. Approved For Release 2011/09/27: CIA-RDP87MOl007R000500990002-3 Approved For Release 2011/09/27: CIA-RDP87MOl007R000500990002-3 The managers agree that the $1,278,000 for atmospheric fluidized bed boiler tube replacement is the final appropriation for this project. The managers expect the MHD community to develop and submit to the appropriate Congressional committees a plan for sig- nificant industry cost-sharing which would include increasing com- mitments above existing levels. The new cost-sharing plan should be based on the MHD development plan submitted by the Depart- ment to Congress in June, 1984. Additional funds should not be ap- propriated absent increased cost-sharing. Amendment No. 203: Reported in technical disagreement. The managers on the part of the House will offer a motion to recede and concur in the amendment of the Senate with an amendment, as follows: In lieu of the matter proposed by said amendment, insert the fol- lowing: (DEFERRAL) Of the funds available for obligation under this head, $1,600,000 shall not be available for obligation until Octo- ber 1, 1985. The managers on the part of the Senate will move to concur in the amendment of the House to the amendment of the Senate. This amendment converts the proposed rescission to a deferral which will then be used to offset costs of the fiscal year 1986 pro- gram. STRATEGIC PETROLEUM RESERVE The managers agree that within available funds a sufficient amount is to be used to complete the McNeese State project. Amendment No. 204. Reported in technical disagreement. The managers on the part of the House will offer a motion in recede and concur in the amendment of the Senate with an amendment as follows: Restore the matter stricken by said amendment, amended to read as follows: (DISAPPROVAL OF DEFERRAL) The Congress disapproves $290,070,000 of the proposed deferral D85-42 relating to the Department of Energy, "SPR petroleum account" as set forth in the message of February 6, 1985, which was transmitted to the Congress by the President. The disapproval shall be effective upon en- actment into law of this Act and the amount of the pro- posed deferral disapproved herein shall be made available for obligation. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, section 160(d)(1) of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (Public Law 94-163, as amended) is amended by adding a new sub- section as follows: Approved For Release 2011/09/27: CIA-RDP87MOl007R000500990002-3 Approved For Release 2011/09/27: CIA-RDP87MOl007R000500990002-3 Strike the period at the end of subsection (B) and insert the folloiwng.? it. or "(C) the fill rate is sufficient to attain a level of 500,000,000 barrels by the end of the fiscal year during which the fill rate falls below the rate established in (B). ". The managers on the part of the Senate will move to concur in the amendment of the House to the amendment of the Senate. The amendment disapproves $290,070,000 of proposed deferral D85-42 for the SPR petroleum account instead of $827,028,316 as proposed by the House and no disapproval proposed by the Senate. The managers agree that the $290,070,000 made available for ob- ligation is to be used to fill the Strategic Petroleum Reserve in fiscal year 1986 to a total of 500 million barrels. The requirements of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act, recently extended by Public Law 99-58, have been amended to allow a lower fill rate than previously allowed as long as the reserve will reach 500 mil- lion barrels by the end of the fiscal year. This will permit the Naval Petroleum Reserve No. 1 at Elk, Hills, California to be pro- duced in fiscal year 1986. Amendment No. 205: Delets language proposed by the Senate au- thorizing and requiring quarterly reports on coal imports and specifying the information required. Identical provisions are includ- ed in Public Law 99-48. SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION Amendment No. 206: Inserts the title "Smithsonian Institution" as proposed by the Senate. Amendment No. 207: Appropriates no funds for salaries and ex- penses instead of $300,000 as proposed by the Senate. Amendment No. 208: Inserts the title "National Gallery of Art" as proposed by the Senate. Amendment No. 209: Appropriates $400,000 for salaries and ex- penses as proposed by the Senate. Amendment No. 210: Reported in technical disagreement. The managers on the part of the House will offer a motion to recede and concur in the amendment of the Senate which provides that up to $700,000 of funds appropriated for renovation and repair of the West Building of the National Gallery of Art may be spent on renovation and repair of the East Building of the National Gallery of Art. Amendment No. 211: Reported in technical disagreement. The managers on the part of the House will offer a motion to recede and concur in the amendment of the Senate with an amendment as follows: Restore the matter stricken by said amendment, amended to read as follows: Approved For Release 2011/09/27: CIA-RDP87MOl007R000500990002-3 Approved For Release 2011/09/27: CIA-RDP87M0l007R000500990002-3 None of the funds made available to the Department of the Interior or the Forest Service during fiscal year 1985 by this or any other Act may be used to implement the pro- posed jurisdictional interchange program. The managers on the part of the Senate will move to concur in the amendment of the House to the amendment of the Senate. The managers have revised the bill language to provide that no funds are to be available to implement the proposed jurisdictional land interchange between BLM and the FS, including the Oregon and California grant lands. The two agencies have indicated on numerous occasions that they do not intend to implement the proposal prior to legislation. A number of public hearings were held in June 1985 and the specific plans and legislative proposals to be developed will reflect those public meetings. The agencies have assured the Congress that no actions designed to actually implement the proposal that is being developed will be taken prior to the passage of appropriate legisla- tion. There are a number of managerial activities that are not tied to the interchange proposal and that are not to be carried out if their purpose is to implement the interchange proposed. These activities, spelled out in detail in a letter to the chairman of the House appro- priations subcommittee on May 9, 1985, from the Director of the Bureau of Land Management and the Chief of the Forest Service, represent efforts to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the agencies that are authorized by existing law and that are not being proposed as part of an interchange program. The Committee does not want the bill language to be used to block those efforts, includ- ing: -Sharing, where opportunities arise, facilities, and space in towns where both agencies are presently located. -Selecting employees from one agency through the Mert Promo- tion Program or through voluntary lateral reassignments to fill vacancies in the other agency. -Sharing of support personnel based on workload and need, such as receptionists, public contact specialists, procurement and contracting personnel, et cetera, within local areas to take advantage of specialized skills and opportunities for increased efficiency. -Sharing of resource management specialists on projects such as environmental analyses, fires, timber sales, land use planning, et cetera. -Continuation of cooperative management and related efforts in areas such as wild horse and burro management, the grazing fee study, timber relief progams, rights-of-way management, wild and scenic river management, wilderness and wilderness study activities, mineral leasing, and mining related responsi- bilities, et cetera. Amendment No. 212: Deletes heading "General Provisions" pro- posed by the Senate. Amendment No. 213: Deletes language making funds for imple- mentation of the Forest Service/BLM land exchange subject to re- Approved For Release 2011/09/27: CIA-RDP87M0l007R000500990002-3 Approved For Release 2011/09/27: CIA-RDP87MOl007R000500990002-3 programming procedures of the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations, House Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs and Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources and de- letes language which prohibits implementation of the interchange plan for the States of Arizona, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oregon and Wyoming as proposed by the Senate. Amendment No. 211 includes a general prohibition on implementa- tion of the land exchange. Amendment No. 214: Reported in technical disagreement. The managers on the part of the House will offer a motion to recede and concur in the amendment of the Senate with an amendment as follows: In lieu of the matter inserted by said amendment, insert the fol- lowing: Section 117 of Public Law. 98-151 (97 Stat. 977) is amend- ed as follows: (1) Delete the date "December 31, 1985" and insert in lieu thereof the following: "until future action by the Congress to the contrary"; (2) After the words "Orange County" insert the following.- Rockland County, Ulster County, or Sullivan County'; and (3) Delete the words "up to 150 northbound and up to 150 southbound commercial vehicles" and insert in lieu thereof the following.- "up to 125 northbound and up to 125 south- bound commercial vehicles ". Public Law 98-63 (97 Stat. 329) is amended as follows: (1) In subsection (2) delete the numeral "10" and insert in lieu thereof "7",- (2) In subsection (4) delete the word "State's" and insert in lieu thereof.- "States' " (3) In subsection (4) after the words "State of New Jersey" insert "and the State of New York"; and (4) In subsection (4) after the words "in New Jersey" insert "and in New York". The managers on the part of the Senate will move to concur in the amendment of the House to the amendment of the Senate. The amendment reduces the number of commercial vehicles which can use Rt. 209 through the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area from 150 each way to 125 each way, extends the ban on commercial vehicles until future action by the Congress, re- duces the maximum allowable fee from $10 to $7, and exempts ve- hicles serving Rockland County, Ulster County or Sullivan County.

Amendment No. 217: Reported in technical disagreement. The managers on the part of the House will offer a motion to recede and concur in the Senate amendment which appropriates $5,117,000 for job training programs for migrant farmworkers and provides that each State shall receive the same amount in 1985 as in 1984. The House bill contained no similar provision. STATE UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE AND EMPLOYMENT SERVICE OPERATIONS Amendment No. 218: Makes available $20,000,000 from the Un- employment Trust Fund for nonpersonal services costs of State em- ployment security agencies, instead of $30,000,000 proposed by the House.

The House bill contained no similar provision. Amendment No. 225: Deletes appropriations of $1,200,000 pro- posed by the Senate to fund activities under the National Organ Transplant Act. The conferees agree, however, that $800,000 should be reprogrammed for this purpose from excess funds in the Nation- al Health Service Corps. This amount will fund the activities of the Organ Transplant Task Force through completion of its work in January 1986. The conferees have not included $400,000 proposed in the Senate bill to initiate a contract to begin the Organ Trans- plant Network authorized by Section 372 of the Public Health Serv- ice Act. This action has been taken because insufficient time re- mains during the current fiscal year to review applications and make an award. The conferees expect, however, to reconsider this matter in the fiscal year 1986 bill and direct the Department to complete all preliminary actions, including issuance of a request for proposals, so that a contract can be entered into as early as pos- sible after enactment of the 1986 appropriations. The House bill contained no similar provisions.

These funds remain available until expended. The House bill contained no similar provision. Amendment No. 228: Deletes appropriations of $3,000,000 pro- posed by the Senate to establish a new program for centers for health promotion and disease prevention. The House bill included no funds for this purpose. The conferees have deleted funds for the establishment of three centers for health promotion and disease prevention without preju- dice. The conferees will give consideration to including funds for the establishment of this program in the fiscal year 1986 Labor- HHS-Education Appropriations Bill.

Provided, That funds appropriated for fiscal year 1985 shall be used to support no fewer than 6,200 new and competing research projects and 533 research centers. The managers on the part of the Senate will move to concur in the amendment of the House to the amendment of the Senate. The Senate amendment would have provided authority for up to $100,000,000 of the 1985 funds previously appropriated for NIH re- search grants and centers to be used by grantees over a period of three years, rather than the customary 1 year. The House bill con- tained no similar provision. The conference agreement authorizes not to exceed $20,000,000 of previously appropriated 1985 funds to be carried forward into 1986, and specifies that the funds obligated in 1985 shall support no fewer than 6,200 competing research projects and 533 research centers. The conferees agree that funds appropriated for research grants (including research centers) should ordinarily be used to support 12 months of activity following the starting date of the grant award. Amendment No. 231: Appropriates $3,000,000 to carry out section 502(b) of Public Law 98-558, to remain available until September 30, 1987, as proposed by the Senate.

The managers on the part of the Senate will move to concur in the amendment of the House to the amendment of the Senate. The Senate amendment would have provided authority for up to $7,350,000 of the 1985 funds previously appropriated for ADAMHA research grants to be used by grantees over a period of three years, rather than the customary one year. The House bill contained no similar provision. The conference agreement authorizes no multi- year funding, but specifies that the funds obligated in 1985 shall be used to support no fewer than 550 competing research projects. The conferees agree that funds appropriated for research grants should ordinarily be used to support 12 months of activity following the starting date of the grant award. The conferees further agree that any funds not needed for investigator-initiated projects should be used to restore other research mechanisms to levels anticipated by the House and Senate in their original action on the 1985 appro- priation, P.L. 98-619. The conferees would like to highlight their continued support of the clinical research program on mental disorders of later life. They expect that, within existing funding limitations, the National Institute of Mental Health will continue to support this program. Amendment No. 235: Reported in technical disagreement. The managers on the part of the House will offer a motion to recede and concur in the amendment of the Senate with an amendment as follows: In lieu of the matter stricken and inserted by said amendment, insert the following: $11,000,000 to remain available until September 30, 1986, of which $6,000,000 shall be for carrying out the Family Violence Prevention and Services Act (title III of Public Law 98-457), and $5,000,000 shall be for carrying out a child abuse prevention Federal challenge grant program under sections 402 through 409 of Public Law 98-478.

The House bill provided $6,000,000 for the family violence preven- tion and services program only. The Senate amendment included $6,000,000 for family violence prevention and services, $5,000,000 Approved For Release 2011/09/27: CIA-RDP87MOl007R000500990002-3 Approved For Release 2011/09/27: CIA-RDP87MOl007R000500990002-3 for child abuse challenge grants, and $5,000,000 for grants to States for planning and development of dependent care.

This 3 percent bonus was initially included in the "Personal Serv- ices" account. The increase of $3,294,000 in rescissions from the Teachers' Retirement and Annuity Fund is based on an actuary's report received by District officials subsequent to Senate action. Human Support Services.-The conference action appropriates $9,598,000 instead of $7,866,000 as proposed by the Senate. The in- crease of $1,732,000 above the Senate allowance consists of (1) $1,432,000 for a 3 percent bonus initially included in the "Personal Services" account, and (2) $300,000 for the complementary energy assistance program in the D.C. Energy Office. Public Works.-The conference action rescinds $875,000 as pro- posed by the Senate. Washington Convention Center Fund.-The conference action ap- propriates $324,000 instead of $500,000 as proposed by the Senate and reflects the allowance recommended by the Council subsequent to Senate action. Repayment of Loans and Interest.-The conference action re- scinds $1,473,000 as proposed by the Senate. Repayment of General Fund Deficit.-The conference action ap- propriates $3,500,000 and is based on final City Council action which occurred subsequent to Senate consideration of this bill. Short-Term Borrowings.-The conference action rescinds $1,250,000 as proposed by the Senate. Personal Services.-The conference action deletes this appropria- tion instead of appropriating $8,327,000 as proposed by the Senate. This account consisted of funds for a 3 percent bonus which the conferees have distributed to the various appropriation titles within this chapter in accordance with final City Council action on the District's fiscal year 1985 supplemental budget requests. Adjustments.-The conference action deletes this paragraph which would have applied reductions totaling $3,576,000 included in the District's fiscal year 1985 appropriation Act (H.R. 5899; P.L. 98-473; 98 Stat. 1837) to the District's accumulated general fund deficit. The conferees agree that language already included in the District's fiscal year 1985 appropriation Act under the heading "Repayment of General Fund Deficit" authorizes the Mayor to reduce the general fund deficit with whatever unused revenues and/or budget authority are available. Capital outlay.-The conference action appropriates $23,400,000 instead of $5,750,000 as proposed by the Senate. The increase of $17,650,000 above the Senate allowance consists of (1) $2,500,000 for Approved For Release 2011/09/27: CIA-RDP87M0l007R000500990002-3 Approved For Release 2011/09/27: CIA-RDP87M0l007R000500990002-3 a branch library in the Shepherd Park area of Ward 4; (2) $300,000 for acquisition and renovation of a multipurpose senior citizens center in the northern section of Ward 4; and (3) $14,850,000 to purchase the streetlight plant from manhole to light from the Poto- mac Electric Power Company. The price of the streetlight plant is based on the net book value of $13,718,000 determined in the course of a depreciation study conducted by a national accounting firm and a net of $1,132,000 in compensation for foregone tax bene- fits resulting from the divestitute of this portion of PEPCO's physi- cal plant. Water and sewer enterprise fund.-The conference action appro- priates $10,801,000 as proposed by the Senate. General provisions.-The conference action includes language which authorizes and ratifies action taken by the Public Service Commission in July 1984 to deregulate streetlighting service in the District. The conferees have not approved two language changes relative to timetables and procedures for budget submissions by the Mayor to the Council. The conferees are hopeful these matters can be re- solved without the need for statutory language. Interagency Reprogrammings.-The conferees concur in two of the three reprogrammings proposed by the Senate. The first repro- gramming totals $5,403,000 from the Police and Fire Retirement Fund to the Judges retirement system ($200,000); the Fire Depart- ment ($4,875,000); the Office of the Corporation Counsel ($304,000); and the D.C. National Guard ($24,0200). The second reprogram- ming totals $5,251,000 from the District's payment to the Washing- ton Metropolitan Area Transit Authority to the D.C. Department of Public Works for additional street maintenance and other costs. The third reprogramming involved $5,251,000 from the Teacher's Retirement and Annunity Fund. This reprogramming was revised to $11,794,000 by the Council of the District of Columbia subse- quent to Senate action and requires bill language because the Dis- trict's fiscal year 1985 appropriation Act earmarked these funds within the "Public Education System" appropriation. The neces- sary language to carry out the intent of the revised reprogramming request is included in the Act under the "Public Education System" section of this amendment.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE, DEFENSE AGENCIES Amendment No. 321: Reported in technical disagreement. The managers on the part of the House will offer a motion to recede and concur in the amendment of the Senate which appropriates $81,230,000 instead of $89,230,000 as proposed y the House and, in addition, provides a transfer of $8,000,000 from Procurement, De- fense Agencies, 1983/1985. The Senate report (S. Rept. 99-82) provides for a refund of $20,000,000 from the Defense Stock Fund to the Defense Logistics Agency. The conferees believe a $15,000,000 refund is more appro- priate and furthermore consider the refund a one time occurrence to support increased needs for quality assurance and contract ad- ministration training to provide contract cost savings. The major factor contributing to the availability of funds in the Defense Stock Fund for this refund is the continuing low unit costs due to in- creased competition. The conferees believe that the training to be provided through this action will further improve competition and quality control.
