It also includes $1.5 billion not requested by the Clinton administration to address the ravages of Hurricane Georges. and it provides $700 million for various drug interdiction related activities. Mr. Speaker. because this bill has become a vehicle to clean out the remainder of the legislative schedule. it also contains several items on which authorizers could come to agreement such as the Chemical Weapons Convention Implementation Act. an agreed upon list of tax extenders. a 6month extension of the airport improvement program. the H1B extension of temporary visas for certain professional workers. a 3year moratorium on Internet taxation. and a framework to address the difficult but important issue of Internet pornography and the State Department reorganization bill. although the U.N. reform provisions are not included. There are other provisions that were resolved under the framework of the appropriations process that I would like to highlight at this point. The bill contains a provision that concluded the yearlong debate over increasing the quota share of the IMF.
