Items 2 and 3 on this list--the 1975 Senate Report and the 1976 House
Report--present special problems. On many points the language of these
two reports is identical or closely similiar. However, the two reports
were written at different times, by committees of different Houses of
Congress, on somewhat different bills. As a result, the discussions on
some provisions of the bills vary widely, and on certain points they
disagree.

The disagreements between the Senate and House versions of the bill
itself were, of course, resolved when the Act of 1976 was finally
passed. However, many of the disagreements as to matters of
interpretation between statements in the 1975 Senate Report and in the
1976 House Report were left partly or wholly unresolved. It is therefore
difficult in compiling a booklet such as this to decide in some cases
what to include and what to leave out.

The House Report was written later than the Senate Report, and in many
cases it adopted the language of the Senate Report, updating it and
conforming it to the version of the bill that was finally enacted into
law. Thus, where the differences between the two Reports are relatively
minor, or where the discussion in the House Report appears to have
superseded the discussion of the same point in the Senate Report, we
have used the House Report as the source of our documentation. In other
cases we have included excerpts from both discussions in an effort to
