Participants receive annual rental and cost-sharing payments, and technical assistance to install approved plantings.

Immigration: Reasons for Growth, 1981-1995
Legal immigration to the United States has increased sharply in recent years, and shows no signs of slowing down. The question of why immigration has grown so rapidly and the implications of this growth for the future are expected to be issues in the 105th Congress. Primarily because of legislation enacted in 1980 and 1986, the numerical restrictions of the basic family and employment-based immigration preference system became less significant. The growth in legal immigration during the past 15 years came in three groups admitted outside these numerical limits -- legalized aliens, refugees, and numerically exempt immediate relatives of U.S. citizens. For example, about 2.8 million illegal or undocumented aliens were "legalized" between 1981 and 1995.

Federal Land Management: Appeals and Litigation
The Forest Service in the Department of Agriculture and the Bureau of Land Management in the Department of the Interior each currently have a system of administrative appeals for moat agency land management decisions. Critics assert that administrative and judicial appeals are stopping or unacceptably slowing the decision-making processes and the use of federal lands and resources; that many appeals are "frivolous" and brought for the purpose of frustrating rather than improving land management actions, and that appeals greatly increase the costs of management

Population Assistance Programs: Impending Congressional Action
Congressional debate over U.S. population assistance policy was quite contentious in the 104th Congress. House and Senate differences over abortion restrictions and United Nations population programs were such that the 104th Congress was not able to agree to a final, long-term resolution on what level of abortion restrictions should govern U.S. international family planning assistance. Instead, House, Senate, and White House negotiators eventually reached a settlement that did not directly address the abortion issue. The settlement, included in the FY1997 Omnibus Consolidated Appropriations measure, represented more of a temporary solution to the family planning issue requiring further presidential and congressional action in February 1997.
