To improve the bill.

This amendment's own text couldn't be picked out of its Congressional Record passage, so the passage is shown in full.

SA 2865. Mr. PRYOR (for Mr. Blumenthal) proposed an amendment to the
bill H.R. 2453, to require the Secretary of the Treasury to mint coins
in commemoration of Mark Twain.

       On page 7, strike lines 5 through 7 and insert the
     following:
       (2) One-quarter of the surcharges, to the University of
     California, Berkeley, California, for the benefit of the Mark
     Twain Project at the Bancroft Library to support programs to
     study and promote the legacy of Mark Twain.
       At the end, add the following:

     SEC. 8. NO NET COST.

       The Secretary shall take such actions as may be necessary
     to ensure that--
       (1) minting and issuing coins under this Act will not
     result in any net cost to the United States Government; and
       (2) no funds, including applicable surcharges, are
     disbursed to any recipient designated in section 7 until the
     total cost of designing and issuing all of the coins
     authorized by this Act (including labor, materials, dies, use
     of machinery, overhead expenses, marketing, and shipping) is
     recovered by the United States Treasury, consistent with
     sections 5112(m) and 5134(f) of title 31, United States Code.
                                 ______
