Congressional Award Amendments of 1985

Summary

Congressional Award Amendments of 1985 - Amends the Congressional Award Act to require the congressional leaders responsible for appointing members to the Congressional Award Board to each appoint a Member of Congress to such Board. Changes the present staggered terms of Board members to terms of four years, unless such members are reappointed. Changes the termination date of the Board from November 16, 1985, to November 16, 1988. Limits the annual salary of Board members to a specified amount. Allows, after calendar year 1986, an increase in such amount in proportion to the Consumer Price Index. Authorizes the Board to award scholarships to recipients of Congressional Award Gold, Silver, and Bronze Medals. (Currently, scholarships are awarded only to recipients of gold medals.) Requires the Board to report the administrative expenditures of each member, officer, employee, and consultant in its annual report. Requires the Board to meet at least twice a year with at least one meeting in the District of Columbia. (Currently, the Board is required to meet once annually.) Requires the Board's bylaws and regulations to include provisions to prevent any conflict of interest in procurement and employment actions. Authorizes the Board to permit donors to use its name or the name "Congressional Award Program" in advertising. Removes the requirement that the Board operate from sources other than the Federal Government. Requires the General Accounting Office to audit and evaluate the Board at least biennially and report on the second audit after the enactment of this Act by May 15, 1988.
