Within the Salaries and Expenses account, full funding was approved for inflation ($1,326,000). No funding was allowed for restoration of the two percent reduction that was applied to the fiscal year appropriations ($3,301,000), nor for overseas research centers (2,000,000). Quadrangle-related increases were reduced by $1,011,000, and a number of other program reductions and additions resulted in a net additional reduction of $1,215,000.

In the Restoration and Renovation of Building account, the Freer Courtyard excavation project ($2,500,000) and the projects at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (conference/dining facility and dormitories at Naos and Gamboa--$1,300,000) were disallowed by the Conference Committee.

The Conferees approved the add-on of $700,000 for the completion of the aquatic habitat exhibit design in the Zoo Construction account.
