HOUSE INFORMATION SYSTEMS

FISCAL YEAR 1994 BUDGET

BUDGET SUMMARY.

The H.I.S. budget for Fiscal Year 1994 (FY 94) proposes a level
of operations of $22,906,000 which is slightly above by 0.1% ($21,000)
the authorized FY 93 budget ceiling of $22,885,000.

To fund the FY 94 estimate of $22,906,000, fifty-eight percent
(58%) or $13,260,00 would be derived from reimbursements and forty-two
percent (42%) or $9,646,000 from appropriation. As no carryover of
unobligated funds from FY 93 to FY 94 will be available, most of the
burden of the funding for FY 94 impacts the appropriated source, as
shown in the following chart :

18.5%

The increase of $1,507,000 needs to be placed in the perspective of
the $2 million decrease from the amount requested last year for FY 93
appropriations i.e. $10,135,000 which was cut to $8,139,000. The cut,
however, was off -set by the carryover of $1,371,000 unobligated
reimbursements. Thus the FY 94 request represents neither a sudden
nor unusual jump in funding but rather the maintenance of the FY 93
authorized level of operations. It may seem large because no
compensating carryover is available.

EXPLANATION OF CHANGES

Salaries The FY 94 total is $J.4, 121, 000, an increase of

2



70

$1,266,000 (9.8%) over that of FY 93. The increase covers
mandatory changes (annualization of 1993 pay raises, 1994
Employment Cost Index adjustment ("COLA"), 1994 Locality Pay
adjustment, 1994 meritorious and longevity pay adjustments) and
allowance for five additional staff.

The allocation of new staff based on workload is as follows:

Support Areas No. of Positions

Data Communications 1

Committees and Support Offices 1

Integrated Systems & Information Services 1

Member Offices 2

Total 5

Staff Support Staff support includes training, travel telephone,
and technical publications. The small reductions will be
achieved by a general consolidation of staff support.

Rental & Maintenance The increase in equipment rental and
maintenance costs ($165,000, 4.6%) is a result of both inflation
and new maintenance fees for equipment acquired in 1993. The
software increase ($150,000, 12.9%), in addition to inflation, is
for license fees for existing software which will be
automatically increased by vendors when the upgrade to a higher
group classification of mainframe occurs.

Purchase H.I.S. has budgeted less for equipment and software
purchases than in FY 93, a reduction of $840,000 (-27.3%). In FY
94, $875,000 in equipment purchase will be for the continued
expansion of the House communications network facility, and
$126,000 will be for further development of the E-Mail system.
The amount of $75,000 is needed for microcomputer and file server
upgrades in the customer training facility, for evaluation of
office systems software, and for improvements in the User

Assistance Office (Hotline) troubleshooting and problem tracking
systems. In continuation of their development, $80,000 will be
spent in the Integrated Systems and Information Services (ISIS)
and client/server technology areas, and for ongoing support of
MicroMIN systems. The remainder of the equipment budget covers
the buy-out of some of the currently installed mainframe disk
storage devices which have approached the end of their lease-to-
purchase terms, the expansion of the print facility, the addition
of mainframe communication hardware, and the acquisition of
office equipment for H.I.S. internal use.

Software purchases include $90,000 in mainframe software
additions for the E-Mail system, $95,000 for National Change of
Address (NCOA) database license renewal and related software, and
$70,000 for a report distribution system for the Computer Center
print facility. $70,000 is budgeted for Member Customer Support
software, $80,000 for client/server, ISIS, MicroMIN, and
committee systems support software upgrades, $45,000 for Clerk
systems software, and $25,000 for communications.

There is a decrease of $35,000 (7.7%) in the amount budgeted
for supplies mainly because of a larger inventory than forecast
in computer paper at the Computer Center.

External Services Most of the $75,000 (-5.7%) reduction in FY 94
costs reflect the cancellation of non-recurring tasks. In FY 93,
the start-up of the 103rd Congress required outsourcing of
equipment installation for office moves, for Members' staff
training, and technical support for the new Members. Other FY 93
expenses that will not recur in FY 94 are for CD-Rom and Computer
Originated Microfiche (COM) outsourcing.

Outside information sources, such as the online Newswire
pipelines, Congressional Quarterly, Economic databases, Census,
etcetera will cost approximately the same ($610,000) as in FY 93.
H.I.S. pays for the Appropriations Committee's outside service
bureau computer processing, which is estimated at $240,000, the
same level as in prior years. Expenses for the disaster recovery
