11 U.S.C. § 107 — Public access to papers

Page 35 TITLE 11—BANKRUPTCY § 107 mental unit; contrary language in the House report to H.R. 8200 is thereby overruled. SENATE REPORT NO. 95–989 Section 106 provides for a limited waiver of sovereign immunity in bankruptcy cases. Though Congress has the power to waive sovereign immunity for the Federal government completely in bankruptcy cases, the policy followed here is designed to achieve approximately the same result that would prevail outside of bankruptcy. Congress does not, however, have the power to waive sovereign immunity completely with respect to claims of a bankrupt estate against a State, though it may ex- ercise its bankruptcy power through the supremacy clause to prevent or prohibit State action that is con- trary to bankruptcy policy.

The governmental unit cannot receive a distribution from the estate without subjecting itself to any liability it has to the estate within the confines of a compulsory counterclaim rule. Any other result would be one-sided. The counterclaim by the estate against the govern- mental unit is without limit. Second, the estate may offset against the allowed claim of a governmental unit, up to the amount of the governmental unit’s claim, any claim that the debtor, and thus
