S438(a)(9). The Annual Report 1995 describes the activities performed by the Commission in the Iast-cilendar year. The report also includes the legislative recommendations the Commission has adopted and transmitted to the President and the Congress for consideration. Most of these have been recommended by the Commission in previous years •.
