MEEK, Florida FREDERICK G. MOHRMAN, Clerk and Staff Director LEGISLATIVE BRANCH APPROPRIATIONS FOR FISCAL YEAR 1995 TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1994. Mr. FAZIO. We will now formally commence the hearings on the 1995 budget for the various legislative branch agencies under the jurisdiction of the Subcommittee on Legislative Branch Appropriations. For the edification of those who can't read the name tags here, we do have a number of senior Members of the House who are Members of this subcommittee. We have Jim Moran of Virginia who is the vice-chairman of the Subcommittee, Dave Obey of Wisconsin, John Murtha of Pennsylvania, Bob Carr of Michigan, Jim Chapman of Texas; the Ranking Member of the committee, Bill Young of Florida; Ron Packard, a California colleague; and Charles Taylor of North Carolina. Obviously, we have two Members of the full committee Chairman Natcher and the Ranking Member, Mr. McDade, who are ex officio Members, free to participate at any time. We are going to put in the record at this point the actual jurisdiction of this subcommittee. Library of Congress: Congressional Research Service; National Film Preservation Board. Office of Technology Assessment. United States Capitol Preservation Commission. Mr. FAZIO. There are a few items that we don't have before us that are technically in the legislative branch. Obviously, the Senate is handled on the other side of the Capitol, but interestingly enough, the Tax Court comes under the legislative branch, but we don't ever hear testimony there. [CLERK'S NOTE.-The Budget of the United States Government includes the U.S. Tax Court in the "Legislative Branch." The House Committee on Appropriations places the U.S. Tax Court under the jurisdiction of the Subcommittee on Treasury, Postal Service, and General Government.] |
