HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
ON
APPROPRIATIONS ESTIMATES FOR FISCAL YEAR 1998

        ENERGY CONSERVATION
 
        In House Report 104-212, the conferees on the Legislative Branch
Appropriations Act for FY 1996 directed that GPO include proposals to
achieve reductions in our facility energy costs in the FY 1997 budget.
Last year, we proposed legislative language to achieve energy conservation
as part of the FY 1997 Legislative Branch Appropriations Act.  However,
the language was not acted on by Congress.  We have included the necessary
language in our submission to this Subcommittee and its Senate counterpart
and to the Office of Management and Budget for inclusion in the
President's FY 1998 budget.  However, we have been in contact with staff
from the House Commerce Committee regarding this language and the proper
legislative vehicle.
