Tobacco and Firearms, the U.S. Customs Service, and the U.S. Secret Service, with the Department of the Treasury's existing Office of the Inspector General.

The Office of the Inspector General is organizationally independent of all other offices and bureaus within the Department of the Treasury and is under the general supervision of the Secretary of the Treasury or his Deputy. The Office is responsible for (1) the conduct, supervision, and coordination of audits with the Department; (2) the conduct of investigations within the nonlaw enforcement bureaus of the Department; (3) the oversight of investigations in the law enforcement bureaus or the conduct of such investigations, if appropriate; (4) the review of legislation and regulations of the Department; and (5) reporting to the Secretary and the Congress as set forth in the law.

The funds provided in fiscal year 1990 have been transferred out of the accounts of those Treasury bureaus where inspector general functions were provided prior to the enactment of Public Law 100504. The funding level recommended in fiscal year 1990 provides a staffing level of 1,081 permanent full-time equivalent positions. FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT TRAINING CENTER

The Committee recommends an appropriation of $36,277,000 for salaries and expenses of the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center [FLETC]. This amount is $2,119,000 more than the budget request and $1,613,000 more than the House allowance.

The Federal Law Enforcement Training Center provides the necessary facilities, equipment, and support services for conducting basic and advanced training for Federal law enforcement personnel of the participating organizations. Center personnel conduct the instructional programs for the basic recruit training and also selected portions of the advanced training. In addition, the Center furnishes training on a space-available basis to personnel from several Federal organizations which are not formal participants under the memorandum of understanding.

In October 1982, the President directed that a national center for State and local training be established as a part of the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center. The major program goals are to present advanced and specialized program offerings and to provide basic technical assistance to State and local law enforcement agencies. Fiscal year 1985 was the first year in which partial funding for this activity was provided in the FLETC appropriation.

Of the increased funding provided in fiscal year 1990, $750,000 is made available to maintain current levels and for purchase of equipment, law enforcement training, and plant operations; $219,000 to cover increased operational costs at the Marana facility; and $1,150,000 for operational costs of the new Artesia facility.

The Committee recommends an appropriation of $20,783,000 for acquisition, construction, improvements, and related expenses of the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center. This amount is $10,903,000 above the budget estimate and the House allowance.

The "Acquisition, construction, improvements, and related expenses" account covers major maintenance and facility improvements, construction, renovation, capital improvements, and related equipment at FLETC facilities in Glynco, GA; Marana, AZ; and Artesia, NM.

The Federal Law Enforcement Training Center was established in 1970 as the single interagency training organization for Federal law enforcement agencies. FLETC's concept of Government-wide, consolidated law enforcement training is directed at promoting the highest quality training at the most reasonable cost to the American taxpayer through multiple agency support and use. FLETC, through its principal facility in Glynco, GA, now serves the basic and advanced training needs of over 60 separate Federal agencies. The Committee notes that the Congress appropriated funds in fiscal year 1988 for the development of a master plan for expansion of FLETC training facilities. This master plan was completed on June 1, 1989, and presented to the Committee in its final form on June 21, 1989. The final plan calls for significant expansion of existing training facilities through a series of renovation and construction projects at all three FLETC facility locations. The total cost to implement the plan is an estimated $86,010,000 for the three facilities at Glynco, Artesia, and Marana. The Committee applauds the fine work of the Center staff in formulating this very comprehensive master plan. In order that the master plan may be implemented in a timely manner to accommodate increased training demands of Federal, State, and local law enforcement agencies, additional funding is required in fiscal year 1990.

The administration's budget request for the Center in fiscal year 1990 includes $9,880,000 for the construction and maintenance costs of one dormitory at the Glynco facility which is expected to accommodate an additional 228 students. While the Committee is pleased with the administration's support for expanded training facilities for FLETC, the Committee is concerned that the budget request is inadequate to permit the Center to provide the training capacity necessary to meet the increasing training demands of all the law enforcement agencies and maintain the facility improvement timetables contemplated in the master plan. Given the tremendous demand for training facilities experienced by FLETC over the last several years coupled with the increase which will occur as a result of the President's enhanced law enforcement initiatives, the Committee recommends an appropriation of $20,783,000 for fiscal year 1990 for completion of design and construction of priority facilities contained in the FLETC master plan. This increased funding will enable the Center to proceed with implementation of the master

plan. Below is the list of priority master plan projects which will be funded at the Committee's recommended appropriations level for fiscal year 1990.

The Committee expects the Center to notify it of changes in the funding requirements for those projects listed above, and to include appropriate estimates in its fiscal year 1991 budget request to continue funding of the master plan. The remaining $3,480,000 is for maintenance of facilities.

As in fiscal year 1989, the Committee has included language in the bill that directs that there be no diminution of advanced or other training at the Marana, AZ, satellite facility of the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center in fiscal year 1990. The Committee strongly believes that the Marana facility can and should be fully utilized in conjunction with the Artesia, NM, FLETC facility, and the main center at Glynco, GA. At the same time, the Committee is concerned that the existing facility at Marana may not be the best for the Federal Government's training requirements from an economic and needs standpoint. The Committee understands that the lease at the Marana facility was just renewed for an additional 3 years. Because of the Committee's concerns about the need to provide the best training facilities available at the lowest longterm cost to the Federal Government, during this 3-year period, the Committee urges FLETC to reevaluate the lease arrangement at Marana and develop a list of alternatives, including continuation of the lease, purchase of the existing facilities, or other financial arrangements at locations in Arizona which would be cost effective

and at the same time provide the type of facilities our law enforcement personnel deserve. The FLETC is directed to keep the Committee up to date on the progress it is making in this regard.

REPORTING REQUIREMENTS

The training requirements of Federal law enforcement agencies have risen dramatically over the last several years and have resulted in significantly increased and continuously changing training projections by participating agencies in the FLETC. Due to the lag time that exists from the development of an agency's budget to the final enactment of an appropriations act, it is exceedingly difficult for FLETC to accurately reflect in advance the actual training needs of agencies. Lack of reliable or accurate data has frequently resulted in underfunding of FLETC's training needs. FLETC has developed a procedure that requires its participating agencies to review, refine, and update their training projections semiannually. As in previous years, the Committee directs that the FLETC provide a summary of its semiannual review on training projections to the Committee.

The Committee also is aware that FLETC occasionally has obtained funding for facility modifications and enhancements from a participating agency. Such situations usually arise because a particular agency's requirements are made known to FLETC only after a budget submission or following enactment of an appropriations act for a particular year. It is the Committee's intention that FLETC's appropriation provide for all necessary training facility costs through its budget. However, if unprogrammed training facility improvement needs do arise for which FLETC must obtain agency reimbursement or other means of funding at a level exceeding $50,000, the Committee directs that FLETC provide advance notification to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations. FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT SERVICE

The Committee recommends an appropriation of $289,695,000 for salaries and expenses of the Financial Management Service [FMS] in fiscal year 1990. This amount is the same as the budget estimate and the House allowance.

The Financial Management Service manages approximately $2,000,000,000,000 in collections and payments annually. In its financial management leadership role, the Service must manage effectively the movement of Federal funds as well as make the optimal use of Federal financial information. By doing so, FMS fulfills an obligation to the public by improving the Federal Government's overall financial position and helping to reduce the Federal deficit. FMS oversees the Government's overall financial operations through the financial and accounting services it provides to its customers-Congress, other Federal agencies, financial institutions,

and the public. The Service's mission involves making over 750,000,000 timely payments each year; effectively managing mechanisms which collect over $1,000,000,000,000 in revenue for the Federal Government; providing leadership, direction, and assistance to Government agencies in the fields of cash management, credit administration/debt collection, and financial systems; overseeing a daily cash flow of over $9,000,000,000; and accounting for and reporting on these activities.

Service responsibilities include: regulation and management of the Government's collection systems; development and implementation of innovative cash management and credit administration practices in the administration of Federal programs; central payment services for all civilian executive agencies except the U.S. Postal Service, U.S. marshals, and certain Government corporations; processing claims on all lost, stolen, and forged checks including those not issued by the Treasury; providing central accounting services for the Government; compiling and publishing financial reports; and managing trust, revolving, and deposit fund accounts. FMS is committed to providing quality service to its customers and will improve its basic operational functions while moving closer to a more substantial leadership role in Federal financial management.

BUREAU OF ALCOHOL, TOBACCO AND FIREARMS

The Committee recommends an appropriation of $257,565,000 for the salaries and expenses of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms [ATF] for fiscal year 1990. This is $11,632,000 over the administration's request and the House allowance.

The mission of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms is: (1) to reduce the criminal use of firearms and to assist other Federal, State, and local law enforcement agencies in reducing crime and violence by effective enforcement of the Federal firearms laws; (2) to provide for the public safety by reducing the criminal misuse of explosives, combating arson-for-profit schemes, and removing safety hazards caused by improper and unsafe storage of explosive materials; (3) to assure the collection of all alcohol and tobacco tax revenues and obtain a high level of compliance with the alcohol and tobacco tax statutes; (4) to suppress commercial bribery, consumer deception, and other prohibited trade practices in the alcohol beverage industry by effective enforcement and administration of the Federal Alcohol Administration [FAA] Act; and (5) to suppress illicit manufacture and sale of nontaxpaid alcohol beverages. The Bureau's program objectives are as follows:

Alcohol and tobacco programs.-Ensure the collection of all taxes due; prevent organized crime or other unqualified applicants from obtaining permits to enter the alcohol and tobacco industries; ensure an open, competitive market for alcohol beverages; ensure
