Appropriations are one part of a complex federal budget process that includes budget
resolutions, appropriations (regular, supplemental, and continuing) bills, rescissions, and
budget reconciliation bills. The process begins with the President’s budget request and is
bounded by the rules of the House and Senate, the Congressional Budget and Impoundment
Control Act of 1974 (as amended), the Budget Enforcement Act of 1990, and current
program authorizations.
This report is a guide to one of the 13 regular appropriations bills that Congress considers
each year. It is designed to supplement the information provided by the House and Senate
Appropriations Subcommittees on Legislative Branch Appropriations. It summarizes the
current legislative status of the bill, its scope, major issues, funding levels, and related
legislative activity. The report lists the key CRS staff relevant to the issues covered and
related CRS products.
This report is updated as soon as possible after major legislative developments, especially
following legislative action in the committees and on the floor of the House and Senate.

Appropriations for FY2003: Legislative Branch
Summary
Final congressional action on the FY2003 legislative branch bill was completed
on February 13, 2003, when both houses agreed to the conference report on H.J.Res.
2, the FY2003 omnibus appropriations resolution. The President signed the
resolution into law on February 20 (P.L. 108-7)
Division H of P.L. 108-7 contains $3.36 billion for legislative branch activities.
Language in the Act also requires a rescission of 0.65% in the appropriations of most
entities funded in the bill, including those for the legislative branch. The FY2003
legislative branch appropriation of $3.36 billion, not adjusted for the rescission, is an
increase of 3.3% from FY2002’s $3.25 billion funding level.
The increase will meet mandatory expenses required by law, including funding
for a January 2003 salary increase of 4.1%, and related personnel costs, such as the
federal retirement system. The additional money funds security programs for the
Capitol complex, including a 17.6% increase in the Capitol Police budget and an
11.4% increase in the Architect of the Capitol’s budget in part for security related
enhancements.
Capitol Police funding contains a 9.1% increase in police pay, and related
provisions that merge the Library of Congress police force with the Capitol Police
force and expand authority of the Capitol Police chief to enhance police recruitment
and retention (including provisions for hiring and relocation bonuses, establishment
of a student loan repayment program, and authorization for training). Other
provisions mandate a redefinition of the mission and composition of the Capitol
Police Board.
The Architect of the Capitol’s budget contains funds for an alternate computer
facility for use during emergencies, and $23.9 million for a new line item, Capitol
Police buildings and grounds. The budget also contains increases of $49.7 million
(94.6%) for Capitol Power Plant improvements; and $15.8 million (72.5%) for
Library of Congress buildings and grounds, partly for enhanced security.
Both houses passed their versions of the FY2003 bill last year. The House
passed its version, H.R. 5121, on July 18, 2002, containing $2.67 billion (excluding
Senate items) for legislative branch activities, an increase of $128.2 million (5.0%)
over the FY2002 appropriation of $2.54 billion (excluding Senate items).
The Senate passed its version of H.R. 5121, amended to contain the language
of S. 2720, on July 25. It contained $2.42 billion (excluding House items), an
increase of $143.1 million (6.3%) over the FY2002 level of $2.28 billion (excluding
House items).
H.R. 5121, as amended, died with adjournment of the 107^th Congress in^th
December 2002. During the first month of the 108 Congress, FY2003 legislative
funding language was inserted in H.J.Res. 2 during Senate floor consideration. Upon
Senate passage, H.J.Res. 2 was sent directly to conference.

Appropriations for FY2003:
Legislative Branch
Most Recent Developments
On February 20, 2003, the President signed into law H.J.Res. 2, FY2003
Omnibus Appropriations Act, containing FY2003 legislative branch appropriations
language (P.L. 108-7). The Senate adopted its version of the FY2003 language as
an amendment introduced by Senator Ted Stevens on January 12, 2003. The Senate
and conference versions of H.J.Res. 2 replaced versions of the FY2003 bill passed
in 2002, and reflect reductions in compliance with the request of the White House.
FY2003 funds had been pending since the beginning of the fiscal year, October
1, 2002. In lieu of a FY2003 legislative funding bill, Congress passed eight
continuing resolutions that together provided temporary funding at basically the
FY2002 level from October 1 through February 20, 2003. Legislative branch
operations were funded at the “rate of operations not to exceed the current rate.”¹
Introduction to the Legislative Branch
Appropriations Bill
Congress changed the structure of the annual legislative branch appropriations
bill in the FY2003 Act.
Prior to enactment of the FY2003 legislative appropriations bill, and effective
in FY1978, the legislative branch appropriations bill was divided into two titles.
Title I, Congressional Operations, contained budget authorities for activities directly
serving Congress. Included in this title were the budgets of the House, the Senate,
Joint Items (joint House and Senate activities), the Office of Compliance, the
Congressional Budget Office (CBO), the Architect of the Capitol (AOC) (except the
Library of Congress (LOC) buildings and grounds), the Congressional Research

¹ Temporary fund ing was contained in P.L. 107-229, P.L. 107-235, P.L. 107-240, P.L. 107-
244, P.L. 107-294, P.L. 108-2, P.L. 108-4, and P.L. 108-5. The “rate of operations not to
exceed the current rate” is defined as total funds available for obligation during the prior
fiscal year, in this case FY2002. The availability of funds for obligation was based upon a
calculation made by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), which required the
legislative branch, as well as all other federal entities, to allot funds based on the percentage
of the year covered by the continuing resolution. Funds available for obligation included
FY2002 regular annual and supplemental appropriations, less any rescissions, but excluded
unobligated balances at the end of FY2002.

Service (CRS) within the Library of Congress, and congressional printing and
binding activities of the Government Printing Office (GPO).
Title II, Related Agencies, contained budgets for activities not directly
supporting Congress. Included in this title were budgets of the Botanic Garden, the
Library of Congress (except the Congressional Research Service), the Library
buildings and grounds maintained by the Architect of the Capitol, the Government
Printing Office (except congressional printing and binding costs), and the General
Accounting Office (GAO). Periodically since FY1978, the bill contained additional
titles for such purposes as capital improvements and special one-time functions.
In the 2003 bill, appropriations for legislative branch agencies are contained in
one title, Title I. Title II now contains general administrative provisions, and
appropriations for two activities, the John C. Stennis Center for Public Service
Training and Development and the Congressional Award Act.
Figure 1 shows FY2002 appropriations as funded in Titles I and II. Title I
budget authority was 69.9% of the total appropriation of $3.25 billion. Title II
budget authority was 30.1% of the total appropriation. In addition, there was
legislative budget authority that was not included in the annual legislative branch
appropriations act. It included permanent budget authority for both federal funds and
trust funds, and other budget authority.²

² Other budget authorities are those of some non-legislative entities within the legislative
branch budget as presented in the U.S. Budget that are actually funded in other
appropriations bills.

Permanent federal funds are available as the result of previously enacted
legislation and do not require annual action.³
Permanent trust funds are monies held in accounts credited with collections
from specific sources earmarked by law for a defined purpose. Trust funds do not
appear in the annual legislative bill since they are not budget authority. They are
included in the U.S. Budget either as budget receipts or offsetting collections.⁴
The Budget also contains non-legislative entities within the legislative branch
budget. They are funded in other appropriation bills, but are placed in the legislative
section by the Office of Management and Budget for bookkeeping purposes.⁵

³ FY2003 estimated legislative branch permanent federal fund authority is $338 million,
comprised of House and Senate Member pay ($105 million); House and Senate use of
foreign currencies ($7 million); and Library of Congress payments to copyright owners
($226 million). Source is the FY2003 U.S. Budget (with figures rounded to the nearest
million).
⁴ FY2003 estimated permanent trust fund authority is $38 million, comprised of Library of
Congress gift and trust fund accounts ($22 million); U.S. Capitol Preservation Commission
trust funds ($2 million); Architect of the Capitol, U.S. Botanic Garden, gifts and donations
($2 million); John C. Stennis Center for Public Service Training and Development trust
funds ($2 million), and the Russian Leadership Development trust funds ($12 million).
After deducting $2 million in offsetting receipts from the public, the total trust funds are $38
million. Source is the FY2003 U.S. Budget (which contains figures rounded to the nearest
million).
⁵ The FY2003 U.S. Budget contains $54 million in federal funds for non-legislative entities,
with one exception, under two headings: (1) “U.S. Tax Court” ($38 million), and (2) “other
legislative branch agencies - legislative branch boards and commissions” ($16 million),
which includes the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom ($3 million); a
subcategory titled “other legislative branch boards and commissions” ($3 million); and
payment to the Russian Leadership Development Center trust fund ($10 million). The one
exception is the payment to the Russian Leadership Development Center, which was
contained in the FY2002 Legislative Branch Appropriations Act (P.L. 107-68).
For a more accurate picture of the legislative branch budget, as contained in the annual
legislative branch appropriations bill, the total FY2003 legislative branch appropriation
figure in the FY2003 U.S. Budget must be adjusted. This is accomplished by subtracting
non-legislative funds and permanent federal and trust funds. Non-legislative funds are those
for entities that are funded in other appropriations bills, but for bookkeeping purposes are
counted as legislative branch funds by the Office of Management and Budget. The FY2003
U.S. Budget contains an FY2003 total legislative budget authority request of $3.9 billion.
After subtracting non-legislative entities ($54 million), permanent federal funds ($338
million), and permanent trust funds ($38 million), the total is $3.48 billion (rounded).

Implications for Legislative Branch Operations of Continuing
Appropriations Funding
The legislative branch operated under continuing resolutions between October
1, 2002 and February 20, 2003.⁶ In general the resolutions continued operations at the
enacted FY2002 level, including supplemental appropriations.⁷ Limiting the funding
level to the FY2002 rate could have adversely affected the legislative branch by
delaying authorization and funding for new Capitol Police positions;⁸ improvements
in police training programs; establishment of new police recruitment and retention
programs; availability of hazardous duty pay to the police; additional compensation
for speciality assignments and proficiencies; authorization and funding for a full 9.1%
pay increase for the Capitol Police in January 2003; and establishment of an
alternative computing facility for the House, Senate, and other legislative branch
activities. Also, the legislative branch would have had to absorb costs associated with
implementation of the 3.1% pay increase that became effective in January 2003.

Action on the FY2003 Legislative Branch Appropriations Bill
Submission of FY2003 Budget Request. On February 4, 2002, the
President submitted his FY2003 U.S. Budget, which contained a request prepared by
legislative branch entities of $3.48 billion for activities funded in the annual
legislative branch appropriations bill. Subsequently, the FY2003 request was revised
by the legislative branch to $3.43 billion, a 5.3% increase over the FY2002 budget⁹
authority of $3.25 billion.
Hearings on FY2003 Budget Requests. The House Subcommittee on
Legislative, Committee on Appropriations, held hearings on April 25, 2002, on
FY2003 requests of the House of Representatives, Library of Congress, including the
Congressional Research Service, Government Printing Office, and General
Accounting Office. Hearings continued on April 25 on requests of the Architect of
the Capitol and the Congressional Budget Office.
The Senate Subcommittee on Legislative Branch, Committee on Appropriations,
held hearings on March 13 on FY2003 requests of the Library of Congress, including
Congressional Research Service; on April 17 on requests of the Secretary of the
Senate and Architect of the Senate; on May 1 on requests of the Senate Sergeant at
Arms and Capitol Police; and on May 8 on budget proposals of the Government
Printing Office, Congressional Budget Office, and General Accounting Office.
Passage of House Version, H.R. 5121 (107^th Congress). The House
version of the FY2003 bill, H.R. 5121, contained $2.67 billion (excluding Senate
items), an increase of $128.2 million (5.0%) over FY2002's appropriation of $2.54
million (excluding Senate items).
Among issues raised during House floor consideration was language in an
amendment offered by Representative James Moran to reduce the appropriation for
the Joint Committee on Taxation by $590,000 until the Committee released a report
on tax evasion by expatriates. The House rejected the amendment, 206-213.
Also, during consideration, a point of order was raised and sustained by the chair
against language that would have consolidated the Capitol Police payrolls, replacing
the current method by which some personnel are paid from the House payroll and
others from the Senate payroll.
Among provisions of H.R. 5121, as passed by the House, were those to
^!increase funds for the Capitol Police by $99.0 million (63.0%), from
$157.2 million to $256.2 million;

⁹ FY2002 appropriations contain regular annual funds in the FY2002 Legislative Branch
Appropriations Act, P.L. 107-68; emergency response funds ($256.1 million) transferred
pursuant to P.L. 107-117, the FY2002 Emergency Supplemental Appropriations for
Recovery from and Response to Terrorist Attacks (in Division B, chapter 9); and
supplemental appropriations in P.L. 107-206.

^!increase the pay of Capitol Police by 9.1%, including a 4.1% annual
adjustment, and an additional 5% pay raise;
^!increase Capitol Police personnel positions by 318, to 1,477;
^!make the Capitol Police chief an ex-officio member of the Capitol
Police Board. Currently, the Board is comprised of the House and
Senate Sergeants at Arms and the Architect of the Capitol;
^!provide an annual pay adjustment of 4.1% to House employees;
^!fund the House at $960.4 million; Capitol Police at $256.2 million;
Congressional Research Service at $86.2 million; Congressional
Budget Office at $32.4 million; Library of Congress at $422.2
million; General Accounting Office at $453.5 million; and the
Government Printing Office at $119.8 million; and
^!fund the activities of the Architect of the Capitol at $303.1 million.
Limitation on Transfer of Appropriations. The House bill, as reported by
the House Appropriations Committee, and passed by the House, contained a new
provision to limit the transfer of appropriations in anticipation of the enactment of the
proposed Department of Homeland Security. Although the impact of the provision
is not entirely clear, it appears to have been included due to concerns about potential
transfers of appropriations without additional approved in an appropriations act.
Similar language is included in FY2003 House appropriations bills for other
departments and agencies.
A transfer, a shifting of funds between appropriations, is not allowed without
statutory authority (31 U.S.C. §1532). Section 308 of H.R. 5121 prohibits the
transferring of any funds appropriated in the Act to any department, agency, or
instrumentality of the United States government, except pursuant to a transfer made
by, or transfer authority provided in, the Act or any other appropriation act. This
provision appears prospectively to prohibit any transfer of funds pursuant to authority
made by, or transfer authority provided in, any act other than an appropriation act such
as an authorization act.
This prohibition also may have the effect of denying transfer of funds made
available in the Legislative Branch Appropriations Act, FY2003, pursuant to authority
currently granted by the Economy Act because it is not an appropriation act. Codified
at Sections 1535 and 1536 of Title 31 of the United States Code, the Economy Act
now allows an agency to transfer funds to another agency to acquire goods or services
if an agency filling an order is able to provide or get by contract those goods or
services and if they cannot be provided by contract as conveniently or as cheaply by
a commercial enterprise. This language does not appear in the Senate version of H.R.

5121.

Passage of Senate Version, H.R. 5121, Amended to Contain the^th
Language of S. 2720 (107 Congress). On July 25, the Senate passed H.R.

5121, amended to contain the provisions of S. 2720 (S.Rept. 107-209). The bill

contained $2.42 billion (excluding House items), an increase of $163.8 million (7.3%)
over the FY2002 level of $2.253 billion (excluding House items). Among its
provisions were those to
^!increase funds for the Capitol Police by $52.6 million (33.5%), from
$157.2 million to $209.8 million;
^!increase the pay of Capitol Police by 9.1%, including a 4.1% annual
adjustment, and an additional 5% pay raise;
^!increase Capitol Police personnel by 269 FTEs, to a total of 1,839
FTEs;
^!merge the Library of Congress police with the Capitol police over 3
years;
^!create the position of Deputy Architect of the Capitol as the chief
operating officer for the Capitol complex;
^!make up to $50 million available for an alternative computing facility
for the House, Senate and other legislative branch entities, subject to
a study by the Architect of the Capitol and approval by the Senate and
House Appropriations Committees;
^!direct the General Accounting Office to review printing and
dissemination of Federal government information, particularly with
respect to congressional printing and binding services of the
Government Printing Office, the Federal Depository Library Program,
and contracting of printing by the executive branch;
^!fund the Senate at $672.6 million (with a $31.2 million increase
primarily to fund a new security system, enhanced mail handling, and
a new Office of Emergency Preparedness); Congressional Research
Service at $87.0 million; Congressional Budget Office at $32.4
million; Library of Congress (excluding CRS) at $410.0 million;
General Accounting Office $454.5 million; and the Government
Printing Office at $122.5 million; and
^!fund the Architect of the Capitol at $388.0 million (including
renovations of the Capitol Power Plant).
Adoption of By the Senate of H.J.Res. 2, FY2003 Omnibus^th
Appropriations (108 Congress). As adopted on January 23, 2003, the Senate
version of H.J.Res. 2 (FY2003 continuing appropriations resolution) contained $2.34
billion for FY2003 legislative branch activities (excluding House items), an increase
of 2.6% over FY2002's $2.28 billion.¹⁰ H.J.Res. 2 also required an across the board

reduction in FY2003 appropriations contained in the resolution, including those for
the legislative branch.¹¹
The FY2003 appropriation, as contained in the version of H.J.Res. 2 passed by
the Senate, was 3.1% less than funding contained in the first version which it passed
in the 107^th Congress, H.R. 5121 (see discussion on bill below). The reduction was
made in compliance with a request of the White House. The largest reduction was

16.9% for activities of the Architect of the Capitol.

During consideration of H.J.Res. 2, the Senate adopted amendment no. 165, on
January 23, 2003, containing $157,500 for a new Office of President Pro Tempore
Emeritus established by the amendment.¹²
Adoption of Conference Report on H.J.Res. 2, FY2003 Omnibus
Appropriations (P.L. 108-7). H.J.Res. 2, as adopted by the Senate, was sent
directly to a conference committee, which issued its report on February 13 (H. Rept.
108-10). Both houses agreed to the conference version later that day, and the
resolution was signed into law on February 20. P.L. 108-7 contains $3.36 billion for
the legislative branch, subject to a rescission of 0.65% (Section 601, Division N, P.L.
108-7). On February 21, the Office of Management and Budget issued guidelines to
government agencies on application of the rescission

Action on Second FY2002 Legislative Branch Supplemental
Appropriation (H.R. 4775; S. 2551; P.L. 107-206)
In July 2002, both houses agreed to a FY2002 supplemental appropriations bill,
H.R. 4775, signed into P.L. 107-206 by the President on August 2, 2002, containing
$25.2 million for the legislative branch and administrative provisions as follows:
^!$16.1 million for the Capitol Police to meet expenses of computer
equipment and services, training, communications, uniforms,
weapons, and reimbursement for expenses related to anthrax

Paul Wellstone. FY2002 appropriation contains regular annual funds, those transferred from
the legislative branch emergency response fund, and supplemental appropriations.
¹¹ H.J.Res. 2, as passed by the Senate on January 23, 2003, contained provision for a 1.6%
across the board reduction in Division N (“Emergency Relief and Offsets”), Title VI
(“Offsets”), sec. 601, augmented by an increase in the cut to offset $5 billion in additional
education spending, pursuant to Senate adoption of an amendment introduced by Senator
Judd Gregg. See Sen. Judd Gregg, “Making Further Continuing Appropriations for Fiscal
Year 2003 - Amendment No. 19,” remarks in the Senate, Congressional Record (daily
edition), vol. 149, January 16, 2003, p. S1037. According to the Congressional Budget
Office, this amount generates an additional 1.252% reduction. Thus, the total across the
board reduction was estimated at 2.852%.

the Expenses Allowances and Representation account by $7,500 and the Salaries, Officers,
and Employees account by $150,000.

Environmental Protection Agency;
^!$1.6 million for the House of Representatives account “Salaries and
expenses” in subaccount “Standing committees, special and select”
to remain available through December 31, 2002; and
^!$7.5 million for the Library of Congress account “Copyright Office,
salaries and expenses” to meet a shortfall in copyright registration
receipts due to delays in the receiving mail subsequent to the
discovery of anthrax; the appropriation was contained in a request
transmitted by the President to Congress on March 21, 2002; and
Among administrative provisions in the conference report are those to
^!increase a Senator’s Official Personnel and Office Expense Account
by up to $20,000 to meet expenses directly related to the September

11 terrorist attacks, or to displacement due to anthrax detection,

subject to certification by the Senator in a written request to the
Secretary of the Senate no later than September 30, 2002;
^!authorize the Architect of the Capitol to acquire buildings and
facilities for use as computer backup facilities for legislative branch
offices, subject to approval of the House Office Building Commission
or the Senate Committee on Rules and Administration, or both if a
joint facility; such property is to be considered part of the Capitol
grounds and subject to regulations governing use of the grounds;
^!establish a new account in the Treasury for the Architect of the
Capitol titled, “Capitol police buildings,” for maintenance, care, and
operation of buildings of the Capitol Police; and
^!authorize the Architect of the Capitol to acquire real property for use
by the Capitol Police, subject to approval of the House Office
Building Commission and the Senate Committee on Rules and
Administration; such property is to be considered part of the Capitol
grounds and subject to regulations governing use of the grounds.
House Version, H.R. 4775. The House passed H.R. 4775 (H.Rept. 107-480)
on May 24, 2002, containing $25.2 million for the legislative branch in Chapter 9 as
follows:
^!$1.6 million for House committees;
^!$7.5 million for the Copyright Office of the Library of Congress; and
^!$16.1 million for the Capitol Police Board account in subaccount
“General expenses” for computer equipment, training,
communications, uniforms, weapons, and including $12.5 million for
reimbursement to the Environmental Protection Agency, Hazardous
Substance Superfund, for expenses of anthrax investigation and
cleanup. However, availability of the $16.1 million appropriations

was contingent upon the amount being included in an official budget
request transmitted by the President to Congress. Further, the budget
request must be designated by the President as an emergency
requirement, as defined in the Balanced Budget and Emergency
Deficit Control Act of 1985. Congress so designated the $16.1
million in H.R. 4775.
Among administrative provisions in H.R. 4775, as passed by the House, were
those to
^!establish a new account in the Treasury for the Architect of the
Capitol titled, “Capitol police buildings,” for maintenance, care, and
operation of buildings of the Capitol Police;
^!authorize the Architect of the Capitol to acquire real property for use
by the Capitol Police, subject to approval of the House Office
Building Commission and the Senate Committee on Rules and
Administration; such property is to be considered part of the Capitol
grounds and subject to regulations governing use of the grounds;
^!authorize federal, state, and local government political leaders to
participate in an exchange program with Russia to study Russian
politics, business and other operations;
^!direct the Librarian of Congress and the Director of the Congressional
Research Service (CRS) to ensure that all CRS materials, including
materials provided through electronic means, be provided to
Members and congressional employees as currently provided at all
other locations where Members and employees carry out official
duties; and
^!authorize the Architect of the Capitol to acquire buildings and
facilities for use as computer backup facilities for legislative branch
offices, subject to approval of the House Office Building Commission
or the Senate Committee on Rules and Administration, or both if a
joint facility; such property is to be considered part of the Capitol
grounds and subject to regulations governing use of the grounds.
Senate Version, S. 2551. On June 7, the Senate passed H.R. 4775, amended
to contain the language of S. 2551. The Senate version contained $11.1 million for
the legislative branch in Chapter 9 as follows:
^!$3.6 million for the Capitol Police Board subaccount “General
expenses” for security equipment and installation, supplies, materials
and contract services, to be disbursed by the Board or their designee;
and
^!$7.5 million for the Library of Congress account “Copyright Office,
salaries and expenses.”
Among general provisions in S. 2551, as passed, are those to

^!increase a Senator’s Official Personnel and Office Expense Account
by up to $20,000 to meet expenses directly related to the September

11 terrorist attacks, or to displacement due to anthrax detection,

subject to certification by the Senator in a written request to the
Secretary of the Senate no later than September 30, 2002;
^!grant the Capitol Police Board sole discretion in determining if
employee bonuses will assist the Capitol Police in recruitment;
^!authorize the Capitol Police to pay tuition allowances for payment or
reimbursement of education expenses; and
^!authorize the Architect of the Capitol to acquire buildings and
facilities for use as computer backup facilities for legislative branch
offices, subject to approval of the House Office Building Commission
or the Senate Committee on Rules and Administration or both if a
joint facility; such property is to be considered part of the Capitol
grounds and subject to regulations governing use of the grounds.
Action on First Continuing Resolution (H.J.Res. 111;
P.L. 107-229) with Provision Relating to the Government
Printing Office
Congress inserted language in the first continuing resolution (H.J.Res. 111)
prohibiting federal agencies from using funds made available in the Act (P.L. 107-
229, September 30, 2002), or any other act, to pay for printing services provided by
an entity other than the Government Printing Office (GPO). The language reflects a
conflict between Congress and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) over
federal printing requirements. Current law requires that federal entities (other than the
Supreme Court) procure printing through GPO. On May 3, 2002, the director of OMB
issued a directive that federal agencies would no longer be required to use GPO for
printing services.¹³ According to the memorandum, the directive is based on a 1996
opinion of the Department of Justice that Congress could not constitutionally obligate
executive agencies to use GPO for printing.
Action on Third Continuing Resolution (H.J.Res. 122; P.L. 107-
240) With Provisions Relating to the Government Printing
Office and Gratuity Payment
Congress again added language to the third continuing resolution (H.J.Res. 122;
P.L. 107-240, October 11, 2002) regarding federal printing requirements that (1) states
the finding of Congress that law requires “all printing, binding, and blankbook work
for Congress, the Executive Office, the Judiciary, other than the Supreme Court of the
United States, and every executive department, independent office, and establishment

¹³ Memorandum is available at [http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/memoranda/m02-07.pdf].

of the government to be done at the Government Printing Office;”¹⁴ and (2) prohibits
the use of funds in this Act (P.L. 107-240), or any other act, to implement the May 3,
2002, directive of the director of OMB, which authorizes federal agencies to use
printing sources other than GPO; and (3) prohibits the use of funds to pay for the
printing of the U.S. Budget by a printing entity other than GPO.
The issue however remains unsettled. On October 22, 2002, the Department of
Justice issued a memorandum restating the department’s view that the requirement for
federal agencies to procure printing only through GPO is unconstitutional. On
November 14, 2002, the General Accounting Office (GAO) issued an opinion that
federal agencies are prohibited from using funds to implement the May 3, 2002,
directive of OMB, and that no funds are available in any act to pay for printing the
U.S. Budget other than by GPO. Later in November, OMB formalized its position in
the November 13 issue of the Federal Register, and issued solicitations for
procurement of printing services for the FY2004 U.S. Budget.
The Act also contains a gratuity payment of $150,000 (equal to one year’s salary)
for the widower of the late Hon. Patsy Mink (Hawaii).
Elements That Congress Considered During
Discussions on the FY2003 Bill
Discussions on the FY2003 bill included, among other issues, the following:
^!funding increase for the activities of the Capitol Police;
^!security enhancements within and around the Capitol complex;
^!recruitment and retention of Capitol Police personnel;
^!salary disbursing authority for Capitol Police officers;
^!Library of Congress Police merger with Capitol Police; and
^!construction of a new Capitol Police command center.
Capitol Complex Security – U.S. Capitol Police¹⁵
Funding Issues. The U.S. Capitol Police is responsible for Capitol complex
security, under the direction of the Capitol Police Board. The September 11, 2001
terrorist attacks and the subsequent discovery of anthrax in Capitol office buildings
prompted enhanced security within and around the Capitol complex, and Congress has
undertaken to strengthen the capabilities of the U.S. Capitol Police. To further
support these abilities, Congress agreed to increase the Capitol Police budget by

17.6%, or $30.5 million, to $203.8 million from $173.3 million.

The Capitol Police appropriation is contained in two accounts—(1) the salaries
account, which increased by $62.6 million (55.4%), to $175.7 million from $113.0

¹⁴ P.L. 107-240, 116 Stat. 1492, Oct. 11, 2002.

Congressional Research Service.

million, and (2) the general expenses account, which decreased $32.2 million (-
53.4%), to $28.1 million from $60.3 million. This decrease is primarily due to the
level of FY2002 funding, which contained two appropriations in addition to the
regular appropriation—a transfer of $31.0 million from the legislative branch
emergency response fund (pursuant to P.L. 107-117), and $16.1 million from a
FY2002 supplemental (P.L. 107-206).
A separate appropriation under the account for the Architect of the Capitol
contains $23.9 million for Capitol Police buildings and grounds.
FY2003 Capitol Police funding contains a 9.1% increase in police pay, and
provisions provide for the merger of the Library of Congress police force with the
Capitol Police force; expand authority for the Capitol Police chief to enhance police
recruitment and retention (including provisions for hiring and relocation bonuses,
establishment of a student loan repayment program, and authorization for training).
The Act also contains language mandating a redefinition of the mission and
composition of the Capitol Police Board.
Previously, in FY2002, Congress increased spending for the Capitol Police by
$50.3 million, or 47.1%, over the FY2001 level for a total appropriation of $157.2
million for FY2002.¹⁶ In addition, Congress authorized an additional 348 FTEs for
a total of 1,750 FTEs in FY2002.
For FY2003, the Capitol Police requested $212.6 million, an increase of 35.3%
over the FY2002 level, and an additional 60 FTEs. Of the $212.6 million, $184.5
million¹⁷ was requested for Capitol Police salaries, an increase of 63.3% over the
FY2002 level of $113.0 million. The increase largely was intended for additional
officers and civilian personnel and a pay raise for sworn officers. In addition, during
FY2003, the Capitol Police anticipated the need to replace approximately 100 officers
who normally leave the force each year through attrition.¹⁸ According to the Capitol
Police, the increased FTE level was to allow for
^!two officers at each post - one to operate and monitor security
equipment and one to act as an observer;
^!staff of the new Office of Emergency Management;
^!staff of a chemical/biological strike team;

¹⁶ The FY2002 appropriation of $157.2 million is the amount appropriated to date when this
comparison was made, and contains $126.2 million appropriated in the FY2002 annual
Legislative Branch Appropriations Act (P.L. 107-69), and $31 million transferred from the
legislative branch emergency response fund, pursuant to P.L. 107-117.
¹⁷ This figure does not contain the $7.8 million included in the President’s budget request
to cover the fully accrued costs related to retirement benefits of Civil Service Retirement
System employees and retiree health benefits of all U.S. Capitol Police.

^!additional sworn and civilian personnel for uniformed services,
intelligence, and dignitary protection; and
^!administrative support for increased Capitol Police personnel.¹⁹
The U.S. Capitol Police requested $28.1 million for general expenses, a reduction
of 36.4% from the FY2002 level of $44.2 million. The FY2002 appropriations
includes a transfer of $31 million from the emergency response fund (P.L. 107-38) for
immediate security enhancements undertaken by the Capitol Police in the aftermath
of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. Without the $31 million supplemental,
the FY2003 request for general expenses would have been an increase of 113.8% over
the base level of $13.2 million. The increase was largely intended for
^!additional training programs for police and civilian personnel;
^!implementation of a response strike force for a chemical, biological,
or radiological incident;
^!increases in protective service travel;
^!a new mobile command center;
^!expansion of the information technology infrastructure;
^!staff recruitment, including incentives and promotional testing;
^!additional requirements for weapons, ammunition, and range
facilities; and
^!additional cell phones, workstations and other communications
equipment.²⁰
New Account Structure for the Capitol Police in the FY2003 Bills.
Both houses moved the Capitol Police account for (1) salaries and (2) general
expenses from the Joint Items account to a stand-alone Capitol Police account.
Additionally, both houses authorized a new account for Capitol Police buildings and
grounds within the appropriation for the Architect of the Capitol.
House and Senate FY2003 Appropriations for the Police. The total
appropriation for all three appropriations in the House bill was $256.2 million, an
increase of $99.0 million (63.0%) over the FY2002 appropriations of $157.2 million.
The Senate total was $209.8 million, an increase of $52.6 million (33.5%). The major
differences were funding levels for (1) general expenses ($43.0 million in the House
bill; $33.6 million in the Senate version) and (2) Capitol Police buildings and grounds
($37.5 million in the House bill; $1.5 million in the Senate version).
H.R. 5121 contained $175.7 million, an increase of 55.5%, for the salaries of
1,454 sworn officers and 326 civilians. This reflected an increase of 288 sworn
officers and 30 civilians over current levels.

2003, Justification of the Budget Estimates, part 1, hearings, 107 Cong., 2 sess., Feb. 2002
(Washington: GPO, 2002), p. 245.

The Senate-adopted bill (H.R. 5121, amended to contain the language of S. 2720)
contained $176.6 million, an increase of 56.3%, for the salaries of a total of 1,839
FTEs. This was an increase of 269 FTEs over the FY2002 level. Both appropriations
measures accommodated a 9.1% pay raise for U.S. Capitol Police officers, which
included a cost-of-living-adjustment of 4.1% and a comparability pay adjustment of

5.0%.

For general expenses of the Capitol Police, the House approved $43 million for
FY2003, which represented an increase of 225.8% over the FY2002 base level of
$13.2 million.²¹ In contrast, the Senate approved $33.2 million for general expenses.
This figure represented an increase of 151.5% from the FY2002 base level. The
committee report accompanying the Senate bill stated: “The amount recommended is
needed primarily to support the significant increase in staffing as well as an increase
in training.”²²
For Capitol Police buildings and grounds, the House approved $37.5 million, and
the Senate approved $1.5 million.
Policy Issues. According to the U.S. Capitol Police, the recruitment and
retention of qualified personnel to meet the additional demands has been a tremendous
challenge. During a hearing before the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on
Legislative Branch on May 1, 2002, Acting Chief Robert R. Howe testified that the
Capitol Police “are losing officers to other law enforcement agencies at an increasing
rate. Likewise, we are competing against those same agencies to attract qualified
personnel to increase the staffing level and overcome attrition.”
Recognizing these challenges, Congress last year authorized the Capitol Police
to institute a number of recruitment and retention incentives. Section 909 of the
Emergency Supplemental Act, 2002 (Division B of P.L. 107-117, 115 Stat. 2320-
2322) authorizes the Capitol Police Board and the Capitol Police Chief to provide
several types of financial incentives for the recruitment and retention of officers and
employees of the Capitol Police.
The House and Senate versions of the FY2003 legislative branch appropriations
bill, H.R. 5121, contained several administrative provisions related to such
incentives.²³ First, both bills included similar provisions to give the Capitol Police

million in emergency response funds.

2002 (Washington: GPO, 2002), p. 27.

²³ The Senate Appropriations Committee-reported legislative branch appropriations bill (S.
2720) included provisions that would authorize the Capitol Police chief to pay additional
compensation for specialty positions and compensate newly-appointed officers at a rate
above the minimum base rate. A manager’s amendment (S.Amdt. 4320), adopted by
unanimous consent on July 25, added provisions to give the Capitol Police chief the sole
discretion in determining recruitment and retention bonuses; the authority to offer tuition
(continued...)

chief the sole discretion in determining recruitment and retention bonuses and add a
tuition reimbursement program to the types of incentives the chief could offer.
Second, both bills contained similar provisions to provide the chief with other
tools that were intended to augment personnel recruitment and retention. Some of
these include the authority to establish specialty positions and pay, provide availability
pay to officers, and compensate newly-appointed officers at a rate above the minimum
base rate. The House bill also authorized the chief to establish a program to recruit
former military and law enforcement personnel without regard to age and provide
overtime compensation to officers at ranks above lieutenant. The Senate bill required
the chief to recruit personnel for the Capitol Police without regard to age.
The House Appropriations Committee-reported measure contained a provision
(Section 110 of H.R. 5121) transferring the disbursing authority for salaries of the
Capitol Police to the chief. Currently, salaries of Capitol Police officers assigned to
the House are disbursed by the House Chief Administrative Officer, and salaries of
officers assigned to the Senate are disbursed by the Secretary of the Senate. The
Committee-reported provision would have consolidated these payrolls. However,
during consideration of the bill on the House floor on July 18, 2002, Representative
Robert Ney raised a point of order against the provision on the grounds that it violated
clause 2 of House Rule XXI by changing existing law.²⁴ After the chair sustained the
point of order, the provision was stricken from the bill.²⁵
Identical language consolidating the Capitol Police payrolls was added to the
Senate version of the legislative branch appropriations bill by a manager’s amendment
(S.Amdt. 4320), approved by unanimous consent on July 25, 2002.
Finally, the Senate bill contained an administrative provision (Section 108 of S.
2720) to transfer the personnel and functions of the Library of Congress Police to the
U.S. Capitol Police. Last year, the Senate Appropriations Committee requested the
General Accounting Office (GAO) to conduct an evaluation on the feasibility of
consolidating the Library of Congress Police or the Government Printing Office Police
or both with the Capitol Police.²⁶ On July 5, 2002, the GAO issued its completed
evaluation, U.S. Capitol Police Merger Review (GAO-02-792R), finding that a merger
of the police forces would be feasible. The merger provision was retained by
conferees on H.J.Res. 2.

²³ (...continued)
allowances for education expenses; and the authority to provide availability pay to officers.
This manager’s amendment also added a provision to require the chief to recruit personnel
for the Capitol Police without regard to age.
²⁴ Clause 2 of House Rule XXI prohibits legislation in a general appropriations bill.

Capitol Complex Security – Status of Funds for the Capitol
Visitors’ Center
Although the FY2003 request does not contain funds for the Capitol visitors’
center, the center will play an important role in Capitol security. Conferees on the
FY2002 legislative branch appropriations bill agreed to add $70 million for the
Capitol visitors’ center, reflecting a heightened interest by some Members of Congress
in making the necessary appropriations available so that construction on the center
could begin in early calendar year 2002. During mark up of the FY2002 bill by the
Senate Appropriations Committee, committee members agreed to an amendment
containing $1 million for the “planning, engineering, design, and construction” of the
center the purpose of which is “to provide greater security for all persons working in
or visiting the United States Capitol and to enhance the educational experience of
those who have come to learn about the Capitol building and Congress.” The funds
were to remain available until expended. The mark up of the House Subcommittee
on Legislative did not contain funds for the center.
Subsequent to congressional approval of $70 million for the center in November
2001, the President released additional funds for construction of the center in the
FY2001 emergency terrorism funds contained (P.L. 107-38.) The construction funds
were contained in $211.1 million released to the Architect of the Capitol. The amount²⁷
of funds available for construction was not provided in the release.
Congressional leadership broke ground for the center on June 20, 2000.
Construction began in early 2002 and is expected to be completed in 2005.²⁸ Cost is
estimated to be approximately $335 million.
Architect of the Capitol Operations
Architect of the Capitol Funding. Conferees agreed to a FY2003 funding
level of $395.4 million, an increase of $40.4 million (11.4%) from $355.0 million.
Operations of the Architect of the Capitol are funded in nine accounts. These
accounts and their increases are
^!general administration (15.5%);
^!Capitol building (-73.6%)²⁹;
^!Capitol grounds (39.1%);
^!Senate office buildings (54.0%);
^!House office buildings (12.9%);
^!Capitol power plant (94.5%);

²⁸ Spokesperson for the Office of the Architect of the Capitol, Apr. 9, 2002.
²⁹ This figure reflects a FY2002 appropriation of $121.5 million, which includes $106.3
million transferred from the legislative branch emergency response fund, pursuant to P.L.

107-117.

^!Library buildings and grounds (72.5%);
^!Capitol buildings and grounds (100.0%); and,
^!Botanic Gardens (8.1%).
From time to time, other projects of the Architect may be funded in separate
accounts, as was the case in FY2002, which included $70.0 million for the Capitol
Visitors’ Center and $1.3 million for the Congressional Cemetery.
The FY2003 request for activities of the Architect was $409.4 million, an
increase of $55.0 million (15.5%) from FY2002.
Among the Architect’s requests were funds for 43 currently unfunded FTEs ($3.2
million), and a total FTE level of 1,958; and 115 projects that were contained in the
Architect’s “capital budget,” which primarily funds maintenance projects. Seven
projects account for $67 million, or 65%, of the request. These include funds for
repair of the Capitol dome ($42.5 million); purchase of property for an off-site
delivery and screening center for the Capitol police ($6.8 million); constructing a new
Library of Congress audio visual conservation center in Culpepper Virginia ($5
million); renovations to the Rayburn office building cafeteria ($3.5 million); designing
and purchasing land for a vehicle maintenance facility for the Capitol police ($3.3
million); modernizing House building elevators ($3 million); and preparing
construction drawings for a garage adjacent to Capitol police headquarters ($3
million).
House and Senate Committee Funding
House Committee Funding. H.J.Res. 2 contains $127.6 million for
committee operations, a decrease of $1.5 million (1.2%) over the FY2002
appropriation of $129.1 million.
Funding for House committees is contained in the appropriation heading
“committee employees” that comprises two subheadings. The first subheading
contains funds for personnel and non-personnel expenses of House committees,
except the Appropriations Committee, as authorized by the House in a committee
expense resolution. This appropriation is $103.4 million, a decrease of $1.1 million
(-1.1%) over the FY2002 appropriation of $104.5 million.
The second subheading contains funds for the personnel and non-personnel
expenses of the Committee on Appropriations. The FY2003 appropriation is $24.2
million, an increase of $1.2 million (5.2%) over the FY2002 appropriation of $23.0
million.
Senate Committee Funding. P.L. 108-7 contains $120.7 million for
committee operations, an increase of $3.6 million (3.1%) over the FY2002
appropriation of $117.1 million. Appropriations for Senate committees are contained
in two Senate accounts. The “Inquiries and Investigations” account contains $ 109.5
million for Senate committees, except the Appropriations Committee, an increase of
$2.2 million, from $107.3 million. The Appropriations Committee appropriation is
$11.3 million, an increase of $1.4 million over the FY2002 level of $9.9 million.

Support Agency Funding
Congressional Budget Office. P.L. 108-7 contains $32.1 million for the
Congressional Budget Office (CBO), an increase of $1.3 million, or 4.3%, over the
agency’s FY2002 funding level of $30.8 million. Administrative language authorizes
the director of CBO to establish a program which allows CBO employees to
participate in details or other temporary assignments in other government agencies,
or studies, or uncompensated work experiences that CBO considers would benefit
employees’ future work at CBO.
The agency’s request contained authorization for four additional FTE positions,
increasing the FTE level to 236, allowing CBO to expand its visiting scholars’
program,³⁰ and a request to change its legislative authority in order to offer advanced
staff training through study and work experiences in both government and private
sectors, in subject areas in which the agency had difficulty recruiting.
According to the director of CBO in recent testimony, the agency’s budget
“continues to be driven by the need to be competitive in a specialists labor market,
with nearly all of the increase going to mandatory increases in personnel costs.”
General Accounting Office. Congress appropriated $451.1 million for the
General Accounting Office (GAO), which is a $21.7 million (5.1%) increase from
FY2002's funding level of $429.4 million. The House version of H.R. 5121 (107^th
Congress) contained $453.5 million, and the Senate version $454.5 million.
General Accounting Office (GAO) requested $454.8 million for FY2003, an
increase of $25.4 million (5.9%) over FY2002. Funding for FY2002 was $429.4
million, and included $7.6 million in FY2002 emergency response funds transferred
pursuant to P.L. 107-117, the FY2002 Emergency Supplemental Appropriations for
Recovery from and Response to Terrorist Attacks (in Division B, chapter 9).
The agency’s request allowed it to maintain the authorized FTE level of 3,269.
According to GAO, 80% of its FY2003 budget request was for pay and related
benefits, with emphasis on staff training, recruiting, and retention, including mass
transit subsidies and a new student loan repayment program.³¹

Library of Congress. Conferees on H.J.Res. 2 agreed to $499.3 million for
the Library of Congress (LOC), an increase of $10.1 million (2.1%) over FY2002’s
level of $489.2 million. An additional $29.5 million is available to the Library
through congressional authorization to use receipts collected by the Copyright Office.
Funds are distributed among four accounts as follows:
^!$351.6 million for salaries and expenses of the Library, including
$17.2 million for the digital futures program, and authorization for

2,841 FTE staff;

^!$9.7 million for the Copyright Office, including authorization for 530
FTEs;
^!$87.0 million for the Congressional Research Service (CRS),
including authorization for 742 FTEs; and
^!$51.0 million for books for the blind and physically handicapped,
including 128 FTEs.
Included among major elements of the Library’s request were mandatory
increases in pay and related expenses and price-level increases ($21.6 million); an
increase for the Library’s digital futures initiatives ($16.5 million); an increase in
collections access, preservation, and security ($8.7 million); and an increase in
infrastructure support ($5.3 million). The Library requested 169 additional FTE
positions, as follows: 35 for digital futures, 118 for collections access, preservation
and security, 4 for infrastructure support, and 12 for CRS, for a new authorized FTE
level of 4,358.³²
The Librarian of Congress also requested an additional $7.5 million in FY2002
funds for the Copyright Office to meet the shortfall in copyright registration receipts

Government Printing Office. P.L. 108-7 contains $119.8 million for the
Government Printing Office (GPO), an increase of $5.2 million (4.5%) from the
previous year’s appropriation of $114.6 million. Funds are appropriated in two
accounts—“Congressional Printing and Binding” and “Office of Superintendent of
Documents.” From time to time, a third account is funded, “Government Printing
Office Revolving Fund.” Although Congress transferred $4.0 million to this account
for FY2002, it did not provide for the transfer of fund in FY2003.
The FY2003 increase is primarily due to congressional printing and binding
expenses, an increase of $9.1 million (11.3%) to $90.1 million from $81.0 million.

Funds for the Office of Superintendent of Documents increased $22,000 (0.07%) to
$29.7 million from $29.6 million.
