DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE APPROPRIATIONS BILL, 2002 AND SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATIONS, 2002

November 19, 2001- Committed to the Committee of the Whole House on the State of the Union and ordered to be printed
Mr. LEWIS of California, from the Committee on Appropriations, submitted the following
REPORT
together with
ADDITIONAL VIEWS
[To accompany H.R. 3338]

The Committee on Appropriations submits the following report in explanation of the accompanying bill making appropriations for the Department of Defense, and for other purposes, for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2002.

DIVISION A--DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE APPROPRIATIONS BILL, 2002

BILL TOTALS

Appropriations for most military functions of the Department of Defense are provided for in the accompanying bill for the fiscal year 2002. This bill does not provide appropriations for military construction, military family housing, civil defense, or nuclear warheads, for which requirements are considered in connection with other appropriations bills.

The President's fiscal year 2002 budget request for activities funded in the Department of Defense Appropriations Bill totals $319,397,116,000 in new budget (obligational) authority. The amounts recommended by the Committee in the accompanying bill total $317,474,089,000 in new budget authority. This is $1,923,027,000 below the budget estimate and $18,958,935,000 above the sums made available for the Department of Defense for fiscal year 2001. 1

[Footnote]

[Footnote 1: Fiscal year 2001 funding includes funding provided in several supplemental appropriations Acts, including P.L. 106-544, P.L. 107-20, and amounts made available, as of October 22, 2001, from P.L. 107-38.]

COMMITTEE BUDGET REVIEW PROCESS

During its review of the fiscal year 2002 budget, the Subcommittee on Defense held a total of 16 hearings during the period of March 2001 to July 2001. Testimony received by the Subcommittee totaled 1,434 pages of transcript. Approximately a third of the hearings were held in open session. Executive (closed) sessions were held only when the security classification of the material to be discussed presented no alternative.

RATIONALE FOR COMMITTEE BILL

The Committee's action on the fiscal year 2002 Defense Appropriations bill comes at a critical time in the Nation's history.

The United States has been subjected to a vicious, unprovoked assault, without comparison in the collective memory of Americans and the world.

The U.S. military is now engaged in combat operations overseas, while carrying out missions at home that were unthinkable just months ago.

All arms of the Federal government are engaged in protecting the American people, at home and abroad.

And as the Nation mourns, and struggles to defend freedom across the world, it also turns to the task of rebuilding.

The Committee cannot adequately express the deep sense of sorrow and the enduring commitment to humanity, to freedom, and to justice which have been evidenced across the United States since the morning of September 11th, 2001. But, through the decisions rendered on this legislation--which provides the vast majority of the appropriations for the Department of Defense and the Intelligence Community--the Committee can provide those who protect and defend America with the tools needed to successfully prosecute the war on terrorism as well as defend America's interests at home and around the world. It is with this motivating principle that the Committee has worked its will on this legislation.

Long-Standing Committee Concerns and Priorities

The attacks of September 11 and subsequent events have focused the Nation's attention on the capabilities of our defense and intelligence agencies. The Committee has long expressed its concern over the state of the Nation's defenses as the national security community has wrestled with many difficult security challenges, such as the end of the Cold War, the need to meet long-extant commitments overseas, and the emergence of new threats and missions.

Since the fall of the Berlin Wall, the complex challenges confronting the three Administrations which have held office--and the seven Congresses which have convened over that period--are well-known. The most prominent include managing the post-Cold War military build-down; a dramatically different and increasingly challenging threat environment; budgetary constraints; and, finally, the need to reshape America's defenses to meet global demands with a vastly downsized force. These issues, along with many others, have animated the defense debate for over a decade.

The Committee has not shirked from joining that debate. In doing so, it has consistently advocated certain core principles:

The Committee believes that broad Congressional support for these priorities--and the need to provide the funding needed to support them--have contributed in no small measure to what has been a turnabout from the mid-1990's consensus regarding defense. Along with support and leadership from within the Executive Branch, the Committee believes there has been much progress made in recent years by both the Intelligence Community and the Department of Defense in attempting to redefine their priorities to cope with new threats.

The Fiscal Year 2002 Defense Budget Request

Against this backdrop the Committee commends the new Administration, which since assuming office has attempted to build on this momentum. It did so first by elevating the level of debate about these fundamental national security and defense issues. The new senior leadership of the DoD conducted its early, extensive, and admittedly controversial `strategic reviews'; they raised these issues in budget and policy presentations before the Congress; and most recently, the DoD issued its Quadrennial Defense Review just three weeks ago.

In his foreword to the Quadrennial Defense Review, the Secretary of Defense described this as `a crucial time of transition to a new era.' Even before the events of September 11th, the outlines of that `new era' were clear. The future security environment would be marked by the existence of lingering, largely conventional military threats--such as in the Persian Gulf region, and Northeast Asia--and the growing threat posed by other regional powers such as China. And the future security environment would be increasingly marked by the reality of new threats such as terrorism; weapons of mass destruction (nuclear, radiological, chemical, and biological weapons); ballistic missiles; information operations (computer network exploitation and attack); and other unconventional, `asymmetric' threats to the United States.

The Committee concurs with this assessment, and acknowledges the role of the senior leadership of the Department of Defense for bringing these issues to the fore upon assuming office earlier this year.

The President's amended DoD budget, submitted to Congress in late June, comprises the Administration's initial effort to tangibly address these problems. The Committee finds itself in broad agreement with the following priorities, as laid out by the Secretary of Defense and proposed in the amended budget submission.

Those priorities begin with sustaining the force. The budget proposed the largest increase in military pay in 15 years, other increases in benefits, and more than a 50 percent increase in funding for the defense health care system.

The budget also proposed significant increases for those accounts directly supporting readiness--training, spare parts funding, depot maintenance, facilities maintenance and base operations.

The budget contained a significant increase in funding for intelligence and intelligence-related activities, including the accelerated development and fielding of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and so-called `ISR' assets (intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance). It also proposed sizable increases in support of certain key mission areas and new technologies--such as Ballistic Missile Defense. The budget also called for increases over current levels of over half-a-billion dollars apiece in the essential areas of force protection and information assurance/operations.

The Committee also notes several initiatives by the Department, announced following the submission of the amended budget, in which it also finds merit. Chief among them are efforts to streamline and rationalize Departmental operations, most importantly a concerted effort to reduce bureaucracy--especially at the headquarters level. The Committee has long called for `more tooth, and less tail', and believes steps in this regard are long overdue.

Nonetheless, the budget submission still falls short in many areas, notably by failing to address the persistent shortfall in weapons procurement funding. The fiscal year 2002 budget also lacked the outyear details of a long-term, coherent investment strategy for the Department. The Committee has maintained for some time such a strategy is badly needed, and long overdue. This is more important now than ever, given the onset of new priorities--including those advocated by the Administration in its budget, and those brought on with the initiation of Operations NOBLE EAGLE and ENDURING FREEDOM--and the need to address other lingering questions, such as the correct course for weapons modernization and other investment needs.

Other Issues Impacting Committee Consideration

As indicated above, the Committee has found much to support in the President's budget proposal. However, the recommendations brought forward by the Committee are of necessity shaped by both the amount of funds available at this point, as well as the need for additional resources targeted at terrorism and other threats in the wake of the September attacks.

The funding in this proposed Defese Appropriations bill, over $317 billion, is a sizable increase over fiscal year 2001 levels. However, in the course of allocating funds among Appropriations subcommittees (pursuant to the agreement recently reached between the President and the joint leadership of the Congress regarding the overall level of discretionary appropriations for fiscal year 2002), the need to meet national defense requirements in other appropriations bills has resulted in the Defense Subcommittee being allocated some $1.9 billion less in funding than proposed by the President in his amended budget for the Defense Appropriations bill.

More importantly, the Committee has re-assessed the DoD and intelligence community requirements following the September 11th attacks. The Committee recognizes that the vast majority of unanticipated costs from the war on terrorism over the next year will have to be dealt with through supplemental appropriations. Nonetheless, the Committee believes it is imperative that, within the existing allocation for the Defense Appropriations bill, it also provide funding well in excess of the President's budget in certain areas--especially those with immediate and longer-term applicability to counter-terrorism and other unconventional threats.

Major Recommendations in the Committee Bill

Accordingly, the Committee bill makes the following major recommendations.

New Appropriations Title.--The Committee bill establishes a new appropriations title--Title IX, Counter-Terrorism and Defense Against Weapons of Mass Destruction--and provides appropriations of $11,719,889,000 therein. The Committee takes this action in order to consolidate funding for those programs devoted to the protection of the United States homeland, deployed American military forces, overseas U.S. interests, and our allies from so-called non-traditional threats. This new title, comprised of six appropriations accounts, includes all funding in the bill for the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization; the Cooperative Threat Reduction Program (Former Soviet Union Threat Reduction); all Defense-Wide procurement and research funding for defense against chemical and biological weapons; and all funding for the Defense Threat Reduction Agency. The Committee believes this will bring a greater focus to the Department's efforts to deal with these threats while empowering the senior leadership of the Department of Defense and the Congress to more closely scrutinize these important programs.

In addition, Title IX includes $1.67 billion, added over the budget request, in a new appropriations account dedicated to counter-terrorism activities and other unconventional threats. By so doing, the Committee has created a rapid response capability for the Secretary of Defense and the Director of Central Intelligence to accelerate and augment efforts against terrorism, weapons of mass destruction, the chemical and biological threat, and so-called `cyber-war' capabilities (information operations and critical infrastructure attacks).

Ballistic Missile Defense.--The Committee bill provides $7.85 billion for those programs managed by the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization, an increase of $2.7 billion over fiscal year 2001 levels and $50 million less than approved by the House during consideration of H.R. 2586, the National Defense Authorization bill for fiscal year 2002. The Committee approves the requested amounts for the Ground-Based Midcourse Segment (formerly known as the National Missile Defense program), as well as the proposed Pacific Test Bed. The Committee also recommends additions over the budget of $155 million to enable the immediate and rapid fielding of the PAC-3 theater missile defense system. In most instances where the Committee reduced funding below that requested in the budget, it was done consistent with the provisions of the House-passed Defense Authorization bill. However, the Committee does recommend reducing funds and restructuring the development program for the Space Based Infrared System-Low (SBIRS Low) program, due to significant concerns over technical maturity, system performance, and cost growth.

Intelligence and Intelligence-Related Activities.--The Committee bill includes sizable increases over the budgeted amounts in support of the classified programs within the National Foreign Intelligence Program. The Committee also provides funding to accelerate and enhance U.S. military intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities, to include:

Military Personnel and Defense Health Program.--The Committee bill fully funds the proposed pay raise of 4.6 percent and targeted pay raises of at least 5 percent for every service member. In addition, it fully funds the proposed increases for Basic Housing Allowances in order to continue to reduce service members out of pocket housing expenses from 15 percent to 11.3 percent. The Committee bill fully funds the requested 50 percent increase for the Defense Health Program, and also has increased military-related medical research and other initiatives by nearly $700 million. The Committee also has added $85 million over the request for procurement of a new C-40 aeromedical evacuation aircraft.

Readiness Accounts.--In Title II of the Committee bill (Operation and Maintenance), the Committee fully funds the requested increases in spare parts and depot repair, base operations and other readiness-related activities. The bill also fully funds the budgeted increase of $537 million for force protection measures aimed at protecting U.S. forces, assets and facilities.

Strategic Mobility.--The Committee bill approves over $2.8 billion for the procurement of 15 C-17 airlifters, and provides $180 million over the budget to support a heretofore unbudgeted follow-on multiyear procurement of C-17's. The bill also provides $150 million over the budget to procure a testbed aircraft and begin development of a new aerial refueling tanker aircraft, to accelerate replacement of the aging and increasingly-limited KC-135.

Shipbuilding.--The Committee bill provides net additions to the Navy shipbuilding account of over $790 million, including procurement of an additional DDG-51 destroyer over the budgeted level (the bill provides for four DDG-51's), and additions over the budget of $463 million to begin conversion of four TRIDENT ballistic missile submarines into the `Tactical TRIDENT' cruise missile platform. The bill also reduces proposed funding for the next-generation DD-21 destroyer by $493 million, reflecting a pending program restructure and deferral of full scale engineering development.

Army Transformation and Acquisition Process Reform.--The Committee bill fully funds the Army's proposed equipment requirements for the Interim Brigade Combat Teams, establishes a new `venture capital fund' to leverage Army investment in cutting- edge technologies, and proposes targeted funding reductions and restrictions in order to streamline Army acquisition organization and procedures.

Defense Streamlining and Cost-Control Initiatives.--Consistent with past Committee practice, and the DoD's renewed effort to reduce unneeded bureaucracy, the Committee bill includes a variety of actions to reduce spending for administrative and overhead costs. The funds made available can be shifted to accounts that more directly benefit the war fighters. These cost-cutting measures include:

TITLE I


MILITARY PERSONNEL


PROGRAMS AND ACTIVITIES FUNDED BY MILITARY PERSONNEL APPROPRIATIONS


The President's fiscal year 2002 budget request continues to make military personnel its first priority through increased funding for military pay, housing allowances and overall quality of life programs. The budget request proposed a 4.6 percent pay raise, effective January 1, 2002 for all military personnel. The budget also proposed a targeted pay raise of at least five percent for every service member and up to 10 percent for enlisted grades E-4 to E-9 and for mid-grade officers. Fiscal year 2002 will be the third year the pay structure for military personnel is being fundamentally changed. In addition, the budget request increases the Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) in order to continue to reduce the service members' out-of-pocket housing expenses from 15 percent to 11.3 percent in fiscal year 2002.

The Committee supports the enhancements to military pay and increased housing benefits for fiscal year 2002.

ADJUSTMENTS TO MILITARY PERSONNEL ACCOUNT


OVERVIEW


END STRENGTH ADJUSTMENTS


The Committee recommends a personnel understrength reduction of $324,200,000 to the budget request, as a result of a General Accounting Office review of the fiscal year 2001 military personnel end strength levels. The General Accounting Office has been examining the costs for military pay and allowances to determine if the fiscal year 2002 requirements are correct. It has concluded, based on current end strength projections, that the active and Reserve components will begin fiscal year 2002 with fewer military personnel on-board than budgeted. In addition, actual data shows active military personnel on-board, by grade mix, is different than what was requested in last year's budget request. This means the fiscal year 2002 pay and allowances requirements for personnel are incorrect and the budgets are overstated. The Committee will continue to monitor the Services' end strength levels as more current data becomes available.

PROGRAM GROWTH


The Committee recommends a decrease of $160,100,000 to the budget request for the following programs due to excessive program growth. These reductions would maintain these programs at last year's level of funding.



[Dollars in thousands]

Unemployment Compensation
-$8,400


Selective Reenlistment Bonus

Total

GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE REDUCTIONS


The Committee recommends a reduction of $240,500,000 to the budget request as a result of a General Accounting Office review of the military personnel appropriations, as follows:

Variation between reported end strength and military personnel paid. The Committee recommends a reduction of $195,500,000 to the budget request due to an average monthly variance between the number of personnel being reported on end strength and the number of personnel actually being paid for the active Army and Air Force. GAO's analysis has raised concerns about the accuracy of the end strengths reported for budgeting purposes. The end strengths are significantly inflated, resulting in the Services' requesting more appropriations funding than they actually need.

Individuals in Appellate Review. The Committee recommends a reduction of $28,000,000 to the budget request due to individuals who are on appellate leave review. These individuals are not being paid and are unlikely to return to duty, but are being counted in the services' end strength figures used to base their budget requests.

Personnel who retire on September 30. The Committee recommends a reduction of $17,000,000 to the budget request for personnel who will retire on September 30, 2001, but will be included in the fiscal year 2002 beginning personnel strength. GAO also found that one-half a month's salary is also included for these individuals in the fiscal year 2002 personnel appropriations.

GUARD AND RESERVE FORCES


The Committee recognizes that Guard and Reserve forces are an essential part of the total force and contribute significantly to a variety of active missions. The Committee's recommendation for fiscal year 2002 continues its support of the Guard and Reserve and recommends an increase of $187,310,000 over the budget request for the personnel and operation and maintenance accounts as shown below.



[Dollars in thousands]

Military Personnel
+$34,810


Operation and Maintenance
+152,500


 Total
+187,310




FULL-TIME SUPPORT STRENGTHS


There are four categories of full-time support in the Guard and Reserve components: civilian technicians, active Guard and Reserve (AGR), non-technician civilians, and active component personnel.

Full-time support personnel organize, recruit, train, maintain and administer the Reserve components. Civilian (Military) technicians directly support units, and are very important to help units maintain readiness and meet the wartime mission of the Army and Air Force.

Full-time support end strength in all categories totaled 150,313 in fiscal year 2001. The fiscal year 2002 budget request is 147,237 end strength. The following table summarizes Guard and Reserve full-time support end strengths:

BALLISTIC MISSILE RANGE SAFETY TECHNOLOGY PROGRAM


The Committee recommends an increase of $910,000 to the budget request for the Ballistic Missile Range Safety Technology (BMRST) program. The funds provided are for Active Guard and Reserve (AGR) personnel assigned to the Air National Guard Space Launch Execution Flight at the Eastern Test Range, who support launch operations for continued range safety certification.

TITLE II


OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE


The fiscal year 2002 budget request for programs funded in Title II of the Committee bill, Operation and Maintenance, is $106,788,645,000 in new budget authority, which is an increase of $9,898,871,000 above the amount appropriated for fiscal year 2001.

The accompanying bill recommends $105,282,379,000 for fiscal year 2002, which is an increase of $8,392,605,000 above the amount appropriated for fiscal year 2001. As described elsewhere in this report, these amounts reflect the amounts provided in Title II of the Committee bill, after the movement of $708,393,000 of funds budgeted in this Title to a new appropriations title, Title IX.

These appropriations finance the costs of operating and maintaining the Armed Forces, including the reserve components and related support activities of the Department of Defense (DoD), except military personnel costs. Included are pay for civilians, services for maintenance of equipment and facilities, fuel, supplies, and spare parts for weapons and equipment. Financial requirements are influenced by many factors, including force levels such as the number of aircraft squadrons, Army and Marine Corps divisions, installations, military personnel strength and deployments, rates of operational activity, and the quantity and complexity of equipment such as aircraft, ships, missiles and tanks in operation.

The table below summarizes the Committee's recommendations.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OVERVIEW


The Committee is heartened by the increased operation and maintenance funding requested by the administration in the fiscal year 2002 budget request. Substantial increases have been requested for flying hours, depot maintenance, repair and maintenance of real property, and base operations. The Committee recommends an overall increase of $8,392,605,000 above the amount appropriated for fiscal year 2001. The services' flying hour requirements to meet readiness training goals are fully funded. Land forces readiness training funding increased only slightly in the Army, and in fact the Army has taken a calculated risk by decreasing operating tempo for home station M1 Abrams Tank training from 800 to 730 miles. Marine Corps funding requested for land forces reflects a slight decrease as the Marine Corps chose not to sustain a fiscal year 2001 congressional increase.

The budget request supports a much improved funding situation for the real property maintenance accounts. The Committee fully supports the Department's request, providing an increase of more than $700,000,000 above the fiscal year 2001 appropriated level, largely arresting the decline in facilities readiness. Additionally, the Committee is concerned with the lack of an overall Department of Defense standard in this area. Many of the functions of the Department present serious challenges to the application of standard commercial practices or benchmarks. Facilities maintenance, however, should be an area where the promulgation of a single standard is a reasonable goal, and it is a goal that the Committee believes should be pursued vigorously. The Committee understands that the Department of Defense has implemented the Facilities Sustainment Model (FSM), and that FSM data will support the fiscal year 2003 budget request, providing the needed common benchmark for assessing facilities maintenance across the Department.

In Title II of the bill, the Committee has fully supported the Department of Defense's requested increases in the flying hour program, ship and aircraft depot maintenance, real property maintenance, and base operations. These key accounts have increased a total of nearly $6.8 billion above the fiscal year 2001 appropriated level. The Committee supports the requested increases, and has provided approximately $50,000,000 above the Department's request in depot maintenance and base operations. The OPTEMPO training request for Army units is fully supported. The Committee has provided each of the services increased funding to support a number of critical items that are key to training, operational readiness, operational efficiency, and troop welfare. And the Committee has recommended reductions from the budget request to reflect fact of life changes, to curb growth in administrative areas, to encourage streamlining, and to support the management actions the Department of Defense should take to improve its overall efficiency.

CIVILIAN PAY


The Committee has fully funded the budget request for a 3.6 percent pay increase for civilian employees of the Department of Defense. The Committee understands that the Department of Defense may implement an increase in pay that is greater than 3.6 percent, and directs that any increase above 3.6 percent will be paid from within funds available to the DoD.

JUNIOR ROTC


The Committee recommends an increase of $5,000,000 above the budget request for the Junior ROTC program,  to be provided in the Operation and Maintenance accounts. The services are slowly increasing the number of Junior ROTC units. In order to accelerate the growth in Junior ROTC units, the Committee recommends additional funding over the budget request to be distributed as follows.





------------------------


------------------------


Army         $2,500,000 


Navy            930,000 


Marine Corps    370,000 


Air Force     1,200,000 


------------------------


GOVERNMENT PURCHASE CARD


The Committee understands that the Department of Defense purchase card program was designed to reduce the bureaucratic processes and paperwork involved with making small purchases. Cardholders can be authorized single-transaction limits of $2,500, $25,000, or $100,000. In fiscal year 2000, the services and defense agencies spent just over $5.5 billion using purchase cards. Fiscal year 2001 data indicate that the rate of spending using purchase cards is on the rise. However, the simplified and streamlined procedures of the purchase card program require close supervision and review by supervisors to ensure that funds are expended for proper purposes.

In July of 2001, the General Accounting Office testified before Congress on its review of the Government Purchase Card Program. The GAO reviewed purchase card use in two Navy organizations in San Diego, California. The GAO found weak internal controls, including: (1) policies governing the issuance of purchase cards were ineffective, leading to proliferation of card holders; (2) employees were not sufficiently trained on the use of the purchase card, and employees did not follow established procedures; (3) approximately 2,600 account numbers were compromised, a partial list was found at a college library, and at least 30 accounts received fraudulent charges; (4) internal reviews and audits were ineffective; (5) efforts to maximize rebates were ineffective; (6) easily pilferable items that were acquired using purchase cards were often missing from organizational property records; and (7) many items were purchased for personal use, including laptop computers, clothing, an air conditioner and jewelry.

The Committee is most concerned that supervisors who were responsible to review and certify that purchases made with the card were for proper purposes in many cases failed to fulfill their responsibilities, thus allowing unnecessary and fraudulent purchases to continue.

The accompanying bill includes a general provision that reduces the total amount available in Operation and Maintenance by $330,000,000 to reflect savings due to improved scrutiny and supervision in determining appropriate purchases.

HEADQUARTERS STAFF


The Committee commends the Secretary of Defense for his announced intentions to significantly reduce all headquarters staff by 15 percent below fiscal year 1999 levels. The Secretary's `Battle Against Bureaucracy' will further the Committee's longstanding and continuing efforts to shift Department of Defense resources from the bureaucracy to the battlefield. As the Department of Defense undertakes an  assault against terrorism and initiates other activities to protect our homeland, this restructuring will ensure that manpower and resources are available for the task at hand. In support of the Secretary's efforts to complete this reduction by 2003, the Committee has reduced funding for management headquarters civilian personnel as follows.





-------------------------


-------------------------


Army         $82,200,000 


Navy          51,100,000 


Marine Corps   4,000,000 


Air Force     50,400,000 


Defense Wide  54,300,000 


-------------------------


ADVISORY AND ASSISTANCE SERVICES AND CONTRACT WORKFORCE


The fiscal year 2002 Department of Defense budget request would provide an increase of approximately $17,000,000 in advisory and assistance (consultant) services. The Committee is concerned by any action in the Department that devotes more funding to administrative functions at the expense of critical combat and combat support activities. In addition, the Department of Defense Commercial Activities Report of August 2001 estimates that the fiscal year 2000 commercial and industrial workforce totaled 1,203,000 civilian manpower authorizations and contractor work-year equivalents. This workforce was estimated to be 39 percent in-house Defense Department civilians, and 61 percent contracted workforce. The contractor workforce is expected to remain constant for fiscal year 2001, at 732,000 work-year equivalents, whereas the DoD civilian workforce is expected to decline by two percent. This would seem to indicate a situation where the DoD is not streamlining its administrative practices or eliminating unnecessary and outdated functions, but merely transferring the same functions from federal workers to contractors who arguably have less loyalty and accountability to the organization, and whose use can cause more disruption due to personnel turnover than the federal workers they replaced.

The Committee believes that inadequate scrutiny is given to requests for contract workyears, and that significant savings can be achieved by making a thorough review of services provided and the number of work years devoted to such services. The Committee recognizes that contracting for certain functions has worked well for the Department of Defense, enabling the Department to obtain key services, such as equipment technical support, engineering and automation services, and certain unique capabilities. Many contractor services have proven to be responsive when needed, and the contractor workforce is more easily sized than the federal workforce. However, contractor work-years, once established, tend to grow over time with inadequate discipline in challenging requested support. The Committee concludes that sufficient advisory and assistance support is provided by sustaining the fiscal year 2001 level, and that a 1.25 percent reduction in contractor work-years is achievable without diminishing essential commercial and industrial capabilities.

The accompanying bill includes a general provision that reduces the total amount appropriated for contracted workyears, including advisory and assistance services, by $955,000,000 of which $898,000,000 is to be derived from Operation and Maintenance. The Committee directs that none of the reduction in contractor support shall be applied to activities that directly support anti-terrorism, force protection, consequence management or other similar counter terrorism efforts in response to the attack of September 11, 2001.

The Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to submit a report to the congressional defense committees not later than June 30, 2002, which details by service and defense agency, and further divided by service and agency major suborganization, Federal Service Code Group, and appropriation account through which contracted, the reductions in contractor workyear equivalents made  in order to achieve the efficiencies specified in the general provision.

HEADQUARTERS AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES


The Committee recommends reductions of $54,000,000 below the budget request for headquarters and administrative activities as shown below. The Committee supports the effort of the House Armed Services Committee to reduce administrative expenses in favor of supporting war-fighting-unit training and operations.





----------------------


----------------------


Army      $10,000,000 


Navy       30,000,000 


Air Force  14,000,000 


----------------------


INTERNATIONAL MILITARY HEADQUARTERS AND SUPPORT OF OTHER NATIONS


The Committee recommends reductions of $44,000,000 below the budget request as shown below, sustaining only slight growth in this activity. The Committee supports the House Armed Services Committee's actions in this regard. The amount of growth included in the budget request seems unwarranted considering remaining readiness and modernization shortfalls.





----------------------


----------------------


Army      $39,000,000 


Air Force   5,000,000 


----------------------


A-76 STUDIES


The Committee recommends reductions of $76,500,000 in funding requested for A-76 studies as shown below. The Committee shares the concerns of the House Armed Services Committee regarding the cost of the studies, and the number of studies planned to be accomplished. Additionally, the Committee cautions against overly optimistic savings assumptions considering the time required to accomplish the studies and the frequently lengthy appeals process.





------------------------


------------------------


Army         $8,360,000 


Navy         53,560,000 


Marine Corps  1,000,000 


Air Force     8,320,000 


Defense-Wide  5,260,000 


------------------------


OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE BUDGET EXECUTION DATA


The Committee directs the Department of Defense to continue to provide the congressional defense committees with quarterly budget execution data. Such data should be provided not later than forty-five days past the close of each quarter for the fiscal year, and should be provided for each O-1 budget activity, activity group, and subactivity group for each of the active, defense-wide, reserve and National Guard components. For each O-1 budget activity, activity group, and subactivity group, these reports should include the budget request and actual obligations; the DoD distribution of unallocated congressional adjustments to the budget request; all adjustments made by DoD during the process of rebaselining the O&M; accounts; all adjustments resulting from below threshold reprogrammings; and all adjustments resulting from prior approval reprogramming requests.

In addition, the Committee requires that the Department of Defense provide semiannual written notifications to the congressional defense committees which summarize Operation and Maintenance budget execution to include the effect of rebaselining procedures, other below threshold reprogrammings, and prior approval reprogrammings. The Committee further directs that the Department of Defense provide the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations written notification 30 days prior to executing procedures to rebaseline Operation and Maintenance accounts.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE REPROGRAMMINGS


The Committee directs that proposed transfers of funds between O-1 budget activities in excess of $15,000,000 be subject to normal prior approval reprogramming procedures. Items for which funds have been specifically provided in any appropriation in the report using phrases `only for' and `only to' are Congressional interest items for the purpose of the Base for Reprogramming (DD form 1414). Each of these items must be carried on the DD1414 at the stated amount, or revised amount if changed during conference or if otherwise specifically addressed in the conference report. In addition, due to continuing concerns about force readiness and the diversion of Operation and Maintenance funds, the Committee directs the Department of Defense to provide written notification to the congressional defense committees for the cumulative value of any and all transfers in excess of $15,000,000 from the following budget activities and subactivity group categories:

Operation and maintenance, Army

Land Forces: Divisions, Corps combat forces, Corps support forces, Echelon above Corps forces, Land forces operation support; Land Forces Readiness: Land forces depot maintenance.

Operation and maintenance, Navy

Air Operations: Mission and other flight operations, Fleet air training, Aircraft depot maintenance; Ship Operations: Mission and other ship operations, Ship operational support and training, Intermediate maintenance, Ship depot maintenance.

Operation and maintenance, Marine Corps

Expeditionary Forces: Operational forces, Depot maintenance.

Operation and maintenance, Air Force

Air Operations: Primary combat forces, Primary combat weapons, Air operations training, Depot maintenance; Mobility Operations: Airlift operations, Depot maintenance, Payments to the transportation business area; Basic Skill and Advance Training: Depot maintenance; Logistics Operations: Depot maintenance.

Further, the Department should follow prior approval reprogramming procedures for transfers in excess of $15,000,000 out of the following budget subactivities.

Operation and maintenance, Army

Depot maintenance.

Operation and maintenance, Navy

Aircraft depot maintenance,

Ship depot maintenance.

Operation and maintenance, Marine Corps

Depot maintenance.

Operation and maintenance, Air Force

Air Operations, Depot maintenance,

Mobility Operations, Depot maintenance,

Basic Skills and Advanced Training, Depot maintenance, and Logistics Operations, Depot maintenance.

0-1 REPROGRAMMING APPROVAL REQUIREMENT


The Committee is concerned about the Department's efforts to undermine Congressional intent with regard to specific program reductions taken in the Committee's report. While the Committee does not object to the Department's common practice of below threshold reprogramming to address pricing increases (such as fuel, inflation, foreign currency, etc.) and emerging requirements, the Committee does object when the Department restores funding to programs that have been specifically reduced by Congress as shown in annual Committee reports. The Committee directs that all funding reductions to programs and activities in Operation and Maintenance appropriations, other than those related to pricing, are made with prejudice and shall be so shown on DD Form 1414 for fiscal year 2002 and subsequent fiscal years for Operation and Maintenance appropriations. Increases to such programs and activities may be requested from the congressional defense committees subject to normal prior approval reprogramming procedures.

ELECTRONIC MAINTENANCE SYSTEM


Electronic Maintenance System (EMS) Interactive Electronic Technical Manuals (IETM), and associated vehicle computer displays with Point-to-Point Wiring & Signal Tracing significantly improves operational readiness and reduces the total cost of ownership of U.S. Army tactical and combat war fighting vehicles. In an effort to exploit the capabilities of these systems the Committee recommends an increase of $4,000,000 in Operation and Maintenance, Army.

CAMERA ASSISTED MONITORING SYSTEM--CAMS


The Committee recommends an additional $10,000,000 for Operation and Maintenance, Army, only for a demonstration of the capability and effectiveness of the Camera Assisted Monitoring System (CAMS) baseline system. The Committee believes that the application of CAMS technology will enhance the capabilities of peacekeeping forces to conduct observation missions.

MOBILE KITCHEN TRAILERS DEPOT MAINTENANCE


The Committee recommends an additional $5,000,000 in Operation and Maintenance, Army, only for a rebuild program which includes upgrade to the MKT-I configuration.

COMMUNICATIONS ELECTRONICS


The Committee recommends an additional $10,000,000 only for depot maintenance of critical communications and electronics systems that were not funded in the budget request, or communications and electronics systems in the Army's recapitalization program that were not funded in the budget request. These communications and electronics systems include: AN/TPQ-36/37 Firefinder Radar; AN/ASM-146/147 Electronic Maintenance Shelters/Vans; AN/TSC-85/93 Tactical Satellite Terminals; AN/PRC-126 Radio Sets; AN/TRC-170 Microwave Terminals; AN/TLQ-17 Trafficjam systems; and AN/PPX-3 Interrogator Sets.

SALUTE OUR SERVICES PILOT PROGRAM


The Committee recommends an additional $3,000,000 in Operation and Maintenance, Army only for a privately run United States Army pilot program to improve family support services for deployed personnel. This program should include an interactive web based management system for deployed service members and their loved ones, a mentoring program enlisting the aid of spouses who have experienced a deployment, outreach efforts to engage the business and corporate community in partnerships with the military, and a mechanism for the various service branches to share information regarding existing, successful quality of life programs for possible implementation.

MOBILITY ENHANCEMENT STUDY


The Committee recommends an additional $500,000 in Operation and Maintenance, Army only for the conduct of a study of potential improvements to railroad transportation support for the National Training Center.

OPTEMPO TRAINING RESOURCE METRICS


The Committee is troubled by the Army's fiscal year 2002 budget proposal to reduce the OPTEMPO training budget by $300,000,000 compared to the established funding requirement. This comes despite an overall increase of $2,047,249,000 in the Army Operation and Maintenance budget request. For fiscal year 2002, the Army budgeted for 730 home-station tank training miles (versus the established standard of 800 miles), and 14.0 helicopter flying hours per-crew-per-month (versus the established standard of 14.5 hours), plus additional tank miles for training at the National Training Center. The explanation provided by the Army is that it has elected to `assume risk' in training and apply the resources to infrastructure shortfalls that were incurred during the 1990s. The Army leadership testified it plans to reevaluate the status of training at mid-year and, if required, internally shift Army funds from other O&M; accounts to address any critical shortfall.

The Committee views this proposal as another indication of what now appears to be a dysfunctional OPTEMPO training resource management process that no longer can be relied upon to accurately justify budgetary requirements to Congress. There has been a continuing disparity between the training resources the Army claims it needs according to its `tank mile' and `helicopter flying hour' standards, and the training resources it actually expends. In many years, the Army has under-executed its 800-mile tank mile standard by more than 20 percent, while still reporting no great diminution in C-1 and C-2 unit readiness status. Over the last several years, the Army has spent literally billions of appropriated dollars for non-OPTEMPO Operation and Maintenance activities that had been originally justified to Congress (and appropriated) for OPTEMPO training.

The Committee views the Army OPTEMPO training budget as a top priority and is unwilling to tolerate this situation in future years. At this point, the Committee is simply not confident that it is being furnished with valid measures against which to judge the adequacy of the Army OPTEMPO budget. For fiscal year 2002, the Committee sees that it has little choice but to rely upon the promise of the Army leadership to make an ad hoc, subjective review of this situation halfway through the fiscal year. The Secretary of the Army is directed to provide a written report to the congressional defense committees on the results of this review and the actions taken by the Army to address any perceived shortfalls.

For the future, the Committee puts the Army on notice that it will be expected to completely overhaul its OPTEMPO training budget metrics to construct more precise and accurate indicators of what a given level of budgetary investment will achieve. Better OPTEMPO variables and standards must be developed based on 21st Century training practices to accurately estimate and project the cost of Army training (both direct and indirect) to achieve a desired level of readiness. Such revised standards should be workable, quantifiable, and understandable. The Committee therefore directs the Army to undertake a thorough review of the current training resource metrics and directs the Secretary of the Army to submit a report to the congressional defense committees by no later than July 31, 2002 explaining how the Army plans to reform this process. The Committee expects the Army to include in this report a rebasing of its fiscal year 2003 OPTEMPO budget request against its new OPTEMPO metrics, and to base all future budget submissions on these new metrics.

ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND A-76 COMPETITION


The Committee recommends a reduction of $2,000,000 from the amount requested for Operation and Maintenance, Army in the Base Operations Support Account. In February 2000 the Comptroller General upheld an appeal to an Army A-76 competition decision. The Army has failed to fully and promptly implement the recommendations of the Comptroller General.

TRAINING FACILITIES


The Committee has provided $9,200,000 in Operation and Maintenance, Army only for repair of the Fort Irwin--Goldstone Road, installation of `Deep Strike' fiber optic cable to China Lake and range/targetry upgrades to improve training at the National Training Center.

TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE ANALYSIS CENTER


The Committee is aware of the challenges posed by the various threats to the critical domestic transportation infrastructure and the potential impact to the national warfighting capability. The Army is directed to study the possible establishment of a Transportation Infrastructure Analysis Center (TIAC) at Letterkenny Army Depot in Pennsylvania. The TIAC would be dual missioned, to analyze the United States critical transportation infrastructure, and to prepare National Guardsmen for their warfighting mission of identifying critical infrastructures for either protection or interdiction.

CAMOUFLAGE NETS


The Committee recommends a reduction of $10,000,000 from the amount requested for Operation and Maintenance, Army to recapture the savings the Army has failed to realize over several years due to illogical purchasing procedures for lightweight camouflage nets. The Committee understands that due to defective buying procedures, the Army believes it must continue to purchase replacement nets designed in the 1970's that are technically inferior to multi-spectral threat sensors, less durable, weigh twice as much, and cost nearly twice as much as other nets that are available to the Army. The Committee is puzzled why the Army cannot rectify this situation that not only wastes money, but also raises concerns about force protection. The Committee expects the Army to take prompt action to establish the preferred, more effective camouflage nets on the appropriate supply schedules so that units can purchase the new nets (to complete unit sets or as replacement items for nets that become unserviceable), using unit operation and maintenance funds. The accompanying bill includes a general provision (Sec. 8141) to clarify any legal ambiguity for the Army on this matter.

ARMY CORROSION PREVENTION AND CONTROL PROGRAM


The Committee is aware of new technologies in the prevention of corrosion which can significantly reduce corrosion costs and improve readiness. Of the funds made available in Operation and Maintenance, Army the Committee directs that $2,000,000 be made available only for the Army Corrosion Prevention and Control Program.

CONTROLLED HUMIDITY PRESERVATION PROGRAM


The Committee understands that the Controlled Humidity Preservation (CHP) Program enhances the long-term condition of forward based equipment by protecting it from moisture induced corrosion and electronic system degradation. New portable CHP storage facilities offer greater flexibility through the redeployment of the soft storage tunnel systems as experienced by the US Army Materiel Command in Qatar and Italy, increased operational efficiencies, and enhanced relocation possibilities for CHP storage shelters as required to support the rapidly changing needs of operational and regional commanders. The Committee directs that of the funds available for Operation and Maintenance, Army, $1,000,000 shall be available only for the Controlled Humidity Preservation Program for the implementation of portable CHP tunnel systems for forward based equipment, vehicles, spare parts and weapons systems.

MILITARY POLICE SCHOOL/MCTFT JOINT TRAINING


The Committee recommends an additional $1,000,000 above the budget request for use by the Military Police School to provide for training by the Multijurisdictional Counterdrug Task Force Training in support of Multijurisdictional Task Force activities. The Committee commends the Army Military Police School for the valuable training it provides to law enforcement personnel in support of the counter-drug effort. However, the Committee is aware that the capacity for training by the Military Police School at Fort Leonard Wood is limited and unable to meet the total demands of law enforcement. The Multijurisdictional Counterdrug Task Force Training is ideally suited to expand the course offerings provide by the Military Police School.

RECRUITING AND ADVERTISING


The Committee continues to support the Army's recruiting and advertising campaign to ensure the Army achieves its recruiting goals. The Committee directs that no less than $6,600,000 of funds provided for Operation and Maintenance, Army be used to maintain existing production efforts directed toward certain audiences, including Hispanic recruits.

MILITARY ENTRANCE PROCESSING STATION (MEPS)


The Committee directs that of the funds provided for Examining in Operation and Maintenance, Army that $20,000 be used only for replacement of computers and computer upgrades at the MEPS facility in Kansas City, Missouri.

BIOCONTAINMENT RESEARCH FACILITY


The Committee is aware of the need of the United States Department of Agriculture to establish a new high security biocontainment laboratory on the East Coast to aid in its vital clinical research to combat new biological threats such as the West Nile virus that are spread by invasive species. The Committee directs the Army Surgeon General to conduct a coordinated review with the USDA and other Army commands that have responsibility for biological warfare defense to determine the benefits and research opportunities of establishing a shared USDA-Army state-of-the-art, security level 3 (BL-3) biocontainment facility. This review shall: (1) assess the need to upgrade the biological research laboratory facilities for both the USDA and the Army and how a BL-3 facility could benefit the missions of both organizations; (2) assess the opportunities and benefits of expanding the scientific research relationships between the Army, the USDA, and the academic community in the area of combating biological threats to the United States populace and its food supply; and (3) define the need, cost, critical design features, and possible construction timetable to establish a new high security biocontainment research facility at an academic institution. The Surgeon General shall submit a report to the congressional defense committees by no later than 180 days after enactment of this Act on the results of this review.

NUWC TORPEDO DEPOT APPRENTICE PROGRAM


The Committee recommends $2,000,000 only to establish a Torpedo Depot Maintenance Apprentice Program at the Naval Undersea Warfare Center (NUWC).

NAVAL POSTGRADUATE SCHOOL--CDTEMS


The Committee recommends $4,000,000 only for the Office of Naval Research to provide to the Naval Postgraduate School Center for Defense Technology and Education for the Military Services.

NAVY LEARNING NETWORK PROGRAM CNET


The Committee recommends $4,000,000 only for the Center for Navy Education and Training for the continuation of the Navy Learning Network Program.

MANUAL REVERSE OSMOSIS DESALINATORS


The Committee has provided an additional $1,500,000 for the refurbishment of Manual Reverse Osmosis Desalinators (MROD). Of the additional funds provided, $1,000,000 is to be used for Navy surface fleet MROD refurbishment, and $500,000 is to be used for Navy Aviation MROD refurbishment.

INNOVATIVE SAFETY MANAGEMENT PILOT


The Committee recognizes that there are initiatives underway in the private sector that dramatically reduce the incidence of workplace injuries and their related costs. The Committee also recognizes that the Department of the Navy has experienced high costs in the area of civilian workplace injuries. The Committee therefore directs the Secretary of the Navy to adopt for use in the workplace of civilian employees of the Department of the Navy such work safety models used by employers in the private sector that the Secretary considers as being representative of the best work safety practices in use by private sector employers. The Committee recommends an additional $5,000,000 in Operation and Maintenance, Navy to begin this initiative in fiscal year 2002.

NAVAL FACILITIES ENGINEERING COMMAND


The Committee is concerned that the budget justification for the Naval Facilities Engineering Command has assumed funding in its fiscal year 2001 adjusted baseline and its fiscal year 2002 budget request that under traditional budget justifications would not be included. The Committee has reduced funding for the Naval Facilities Engineering Command accordingly.

SHIP DEPOT MAINTENANCE


The Committee is aware that the ship depot maintenance account has been underfunded in recent years. This underfunding was caused by several factors, including a deficient calculation that understated the requirement, underfunding of the requirement that was identified, and the added costs associated with high deployment levels. The Committee applauds the Navy's recent effort to revise the maintenance calculation to more adequately reflect the real requirement, and to fully fund maintenance in the future. The Committee recognizes, however, that the fiscal year 2002 budget may again lack the necessary funds to fully implement them. The Committee expects that the fiscal year 2003 budget and future year budgets will include the funding necessary to support 100 percent of the ship maintenance requirement. The Committee also directs the Secretary of the Navy to provide with the fiscal year 2003 budget submission a plan to eliminate the maintenance backlog that has accumulated as a result of previous underfunding, and to incorporate necessary funds in future budgets to execute that plan.

COMPUTER PROGRAM TRAINING


The Committee directs that of the funds provided for recruiting and advertising in Operation and Maintenance, Navy that $15,000 be used only for a training plan to enhance computer literacy and management skills for civilian employees and naval recruiters at the Naval Recruiting District Headquarters in Kansas City, Missouri.

DEFENSE-WIDE ENERGY SUSTAINABILITY AUDITS


The Committee recommends $3,000,000 for the Secretary of Defense to implement an aggressive energy conservation program that performs energy and sustainability audits of facilities throughout the services. The Committee provided funding in the fiscal year 2001 supplemental appropriations act (Public Law 107-20) to perform these activities in areas of the Western power grid and recommends funding in this legislation to expand this designated effort to installations nation-wide.

DLAMP


The Committee is concerned about the significant growth and costs of the Defense Leadership and Management Program (DLAMP). The fiscal year 2002 budget of $60,600,000 is $15,200,000, or 33 percent higher than the fiscal year 2001 funding level, and $39,100,000, or 200 percent, higher than the fiscal year 1999 funding level. Costs per student for participation in this program are significantly higher than corresponding graduate level courses offered in both public and private academia. In addition, costs per participant for the rotational assignments and the professional military education pillars of the program have become prohibitive. The Committee notes that DLAMP has not been audited by oversight groups, including DHRA's Chancellor for Education and Professional Development, and a review is needed of the program's mandatory provisions, structure, curriculum, and delivery systems including the leasing of facilities. Until the new administration seeks alternatives for a more cost-effective program, the Committee has eliminated funding for the rotational assignments and professional military education pillars. In addition, the Committee directs that the Department conduct a review to address these concerns and report back to the congressional defense committees prior to March 31, 2002.

DEFENSE LOGISTICS AGENCY


The Committee directs the Defense Logistics Agency to suspend any shipments of mercury to the Defense National Stockpile Center Somerville Depot, until the completion of the ongoing environmental impact study.

LEGACY


The Committee encourages the Department to consider the University of California's Western Center Museum at Diamond Valley Lake, California, for funding under the Legacy program.

PERSONNEL RECOVERY STUDY


The Committee recommends an increase of $1,500,000 to the budget request for the Defense POW/Missing Persons Office to conduct a government wide interagency needs assessment in order to define the components of a fully integrated national personnel recovery architecture. The assessment should include a consideration of service personnel, civilians and contract personnel, and examine the possible consolidation of training programs. The study should recommend a coordinated national goal for personnel recovery, roles and responsibilities of each department, agency or office, and present a detailed timeline and cost analysis for reaching that goal. The Committee expects the Defense POW/Missing Persons Office (DPMO) be the lead for the assessment and to initiate the study using the Defense personnel recovery program as the baseline, and directs that a report be submitted by December 1, 2002.

PERSONNEL AND FAMILY SUPPORT PROGRAMS


The Committee supports the wide variety of personnel and family support programs funded in this bill, but is concerned that insufficient attention by the Department and services to the family need assessment process may be diminishing the effectiveness of the programs. Family need assessments are regularly used in resource allocation decisions by private sector organizations and allow limited funds to be most efficiently distributed to areas with the greatest need. Current Department regulations and service practices are inconsistent in the application of this valuable tool which could enhance the delivery of needed programs to service members and their families. The Committee concurs with a recent GAO report on this issue and directs the Secretary of Defense to include the following requirements in Departmental regulations and guidance pertaining to the services' family need assessments: (1) the use of benchmarks to define when needs have increased or decreased; (2) the use of a plan to determine how need assessment results will be prioritized; (3) the use and integration of information on the type and capacity of off base family support services; and (4) a consistent and defined role for the results of family need assessment process in supporting family programs' budget development and resource allocation. The Committee further directs the Secretary to report to the Committee on Appropriations by March 1, 2002, on the adoption of appropriate regulations and the use of family need assessments in formulating the fiscal year 2003 budget.

DEFENSE ACQUISITION UNIVERSITY DISTANCE LEARNING


The Committee has included $3,000,000 for education and expert consulting support to the Department of Defense acquisition community on a continuous basis based on the model Acquisition Center of Excellence established by the National Reconnaissance Office. It should include elements of computer based training, consulting support, and acquisition best practices, and the use of Internet technology to provide these services to the widest possible audience.

Funding for the Operation and Maintenance activities of the Defense Threat Reduction Agency have been transferred to Title IX of the bill.

AIR FORCE RESERVE AIRLIFT FORCE MANAGEMENT


The Committee recognizes the reliance the Air Force is placing on reserve units, and joint reserve-active duty units, for accomplishing many important airlift missions. As many reserve units are scheduled to begin retiring C-141 aircraft in fiscal year 2003, with no follow-on mission yet designated, the Committee is concerned the Secretary of the Air Force has yet to decide upon a follow-on mission for C-141 reserve units. The Secretary is strongly urged to immediately designate a mission for all Air Force Reserve units affected by the retirement of the C-141, especially those units with a joint-service mission requirement. The Committee further believes the Secretary should consider the designation of active-associate (also known as a reserve-associate) C-17 units, similar to the successful MC-130E active-associate unit at Duke Field, Florida.

The Committee is further concerned that the Secretary has yet to designate an Air Reserve Station or Stations for C-17s. The C-17 is the most reliable, effective and efficient airlift aircraft in the Air Force's fleet, and the Committee strongly supports the acquisition of additional C-17s to fulfill current and projected Air Force airlift mobility requirements. Elsewhere in this report the Committee recommends substantial funding for continued C-17 production, as well as initial funding for a sizable follow-on purchase of C-17s beyond those programmed.

The Committee believes March Air Reserve Base and Wright-Patterson Air Force Base each clearly merit consideration for the C-17 mission. In the House-passed fiscal year 2002 Military Construction Appropriations bill, the Committee provided funding for planning and site assessment of these two facilities to provide the necessary preparation to support C-17 operations within the Air Force Reserve Command. The Committee restates its support for transitioning these units to the C-17, and strongly encourages the Air Force to designate these installations for the C-17 follow-on mission.

CLASSIFIED ANNEX

ARMY TRANSFORMATION


In its deliberations on the fiscal year 2001 Department of Defense Appropriations bill, the Committee strongly supported the vision outlined by the Army leadership to transform the capabilities of the Army. Last year, the Congress appropriated $1,800,000,000 above the budget request in order to jump start Army transformation divided between Army procurement and Army research and development programs. For example, $637,007,000 was added above the budget request for the Interim Armored Vehicle (IAV) to provide the IBCTs with immediately required capabilities, $200,000,000 was added above the budget request to provide support equipment needed to field a second IBCT, $614,041,000 was provided to continue development of the Comanche Helicopter, and $105,000,000 was provided for the Future Combat System.

This year, the Committee received testimony from the Army leadership which reinforces the importance of continuing the initiative begun last year. According to the Army leadership, fielding the interim force fills the strategic gap between Army heavy and light forces thereby ensuring that the Army is responsive to the entire spectrum of operations. Similarly, in the September 2001 Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR), the Secretary of Defense commits the Department to a course of transformation involving three main parts: exploiting research and development to ensure that U.S. forces maintain a decisive lead in technologies critical to transformation; advancing key transformation initiatives that will enable the U.S. to both deter conflict and conduct military operations; and recapitalizing legacy forces to meet near-term challenges and provide near-term readiness.

The Committee supports the vision expressed both by the Army and the Secretary of Defense in the QDR. Accordingly, the Committee fully supports those programs that the Army has identified as critical to continuing transformation. For example, the Committee has fully funded the Future Combat System (FCS), which the Army has identified as its top science and technology initiative, at $111,560,000. The Committee recommends fully funding the Crusader program at $447,949,000, and also provides $163,141,000 for the Abrams-Crusader Common Engine (ACCE) program. The Committee continues to support the Comanche program providing $816,366,000 for this purpose. The Committee continues to support fielding of the Interim Armored Vehicle (IAV) and has funded this program at the requested amount of $662,600,000. The Committee also recommends increased funding for the AH-64 Apache Longbow recapitalization program providing $898,561,000 for this purpose, and has provided an additional $131,176,000 above the budget to increase the fiscal year 2002 acquisition of Blackhawk helicopters from 12 to 20.

In the Committee's view, the primary risks for this initiative stem from the aggressive timetable that the Army has set for itself. In this regard, the Committee is particularly concerned that the Army's science and technology community may not be able to identify, develop, and field new technologies as rapidly as needed to support transformation. To address this concern, the Committee has added a general provision, discussed elsewhere in this report, which provides $50,000,000 to establish a venture capital fund which will allow the Army to leverage science and technology advances found the private sector. In addition, the Committee has recommended measures to streamline acquisition and program management based on the review conducted by the Center for Naval Analyses.

ARMY ACQUISITION PROGRAM REFORMS


The system used by the Army to select, develop and procure major weapons systems is not capable of delivering the new systems required for Army transformation on the established timetable. It is widely recognized that the Army must significantly reform and streamline its requirements generation, acquisition management, and resource allocation processes to improve Army flexibility to fast-changing circumstances. Acting on this long recognized need, the Committee, in its report accompanying the fiscal year 2001 DoD appropriations bill, required a thorough review of Army acquisition practices to be conducted by the Center for Naval Analyses. That report highlights numerous concerns, and made thoughtful and far-reaching recommendations for improvements. The issues raised can be grouped into three broad categories.

First, the report cites an unrealistic requirements determination process to which there are too many contributors and which does not facilitate the orderly prioritization of requirements. As a result, too many requirements are approved without adequate consideration of resource availability or technical feasibility. The report concludes, `As long as the requirement stays on the books, there is a chance someone will resource it, with or without the leadership's knowledge. This is apparently the reason [the Army is unable] to actually `kill' a program.' The report is particularly critical of the Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) System Managers (TSMs) associated with the 16 branch schools in this regard.

The report is also highly critical of the number of personnel that the Army assigns to this task. On this point, the report states: `Despite significant personnel reductions over the past 10 years, the Army still requires nearly 2,200 people to do a job that the Department of the Navy does with about 550, and the Air Force does with about 1,600. The disparity does not appear to be related to the number of systems each Department manages.'

Second, the report underscores difficulties faced by the Army in its program budgeting practices. The report indicates that the main characteristic of Army financial management--instability--is brought about in large measure because of the Army's inability to say `no' in the face of competing demands. Consequently, the Army struggles to find and maintain sufficient funding for those programs that are critical to the Army's future. In addition to citing the Army's lack of analytical resources for proper financial/budget analysis, the CNA report finds that `the Army and the Army staff are currently fractionalized along branch lines with each branch fighting to ensure that its program (or programs) is included in the funding.' The report concludes that `If acquisition programs, such as the Interim Armored Vehicle and the Future Combat System, are deemed to be priority interests of the Department of the Army, sustained stable funding, perhaps to the detriment of other lower priority expenditures, will be required for success.'

Third, the Army acquisition structure is essentially composed of two competing organizations, the Assistant Secretary of the Army (Acquisition Logistics and Technology) (ASA(ALT)) and the Army Materiel Command (AMC), each with their own separate chains of command. The CNA report indicates that AMC `is seen as having a negative impact on acquisition efficiency because its four-star commanding general is in direct competition with the four-star civilian equivalent * * * for resources and influence. As one Army official stated, `resources and acquisition are on both the AMC and PEO side--we spend too much time arguing over turf.' In response, the CNA report recommends substantially reducing, if not eliminating altogether, the role of AMC in major systems acquisition.

The Committee recognizes that the Army is in the midst of a serious effort to improve its requirements determination, acquisition management, and resource allocation processes. The Committee is particularly encouraged by the Army's internal efforts to take the first step, which is to better integrate responsibilities of the Army Secretariat and Army staff. However, it appears that this effort may not pay sufficient attention to the deeper issues pertaining to organization and management within the major commands. Accordingly, the Commission includes a new general provision, discussed elsewhere in this report, which reduces funding for the Army acquisition organizations by $37,200,000, prohibits TRADOC from performing system management activities, and prohibits AMC from performing acquisition program management functions.

DOD INVESTMENTS IN AIR SUPERIORITY


Countering the air-to-air threat is an important element of the air superiority problem. In addition, the US must be able to effectively counter the surface-to-air missile (SAM) threat. Increasingly, potential adversaries are turning to SAM systems to counter US air dominance. SAM systems appeal to foreign militaries not only based on their effectiveness, but also based on their cost relative to standing up and maintaining a modern air force. A modern air force requires heavy investment in aircraft, weapons, and spare parts. In addition, an air force requires highly trained pilots, sustained aircraft maintenance, and ample fuel. The infrastructure to support aircraft, in terms of air bases, depot facilities, and fuel storage are costly to construct and operate and present ready fixed targets to US bombers and cruise missiles. Modern SAM systems avoid many of these issues.

The Committee also notes that SAM systems have proven extremely difficult for the US to destroy as demonstrated by our experience in Kosovo. In every conflict since Viet Nam, US aircraft have sustained more losses from the ground than the air. It is no wonder that ground based air defenses have become the `poor man's air force' now and will likely remain that way for the foreseeable future. Yet, there does not seem to be a coordinated programmatic response to this threat, let alone the kind of multi-billion dollar investment currently in place to counter the threat from enemy aircraft. Given this investment imbalance, the Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to initiate a comprehensive study of the threat to US aircraft and the programmatic response to counter this threat. The Committee further directs that the Secretary of Defense report the results of this study, including a specific comparison of the programmatic investments (including funding in then year dollars) to counter the air and the SAM threat. The Committee directs that this report be provided to the congressional defense committees no later than April 15, 2002.

PROGRAM RECOMMENDED

WOLVERINE PROGRAM MANAGEMENT


The Army requested $48,592,000 to procure five additional Wolverine Heavy Assault Bridge (HAB) systems. The Committee recommends $17,000,000, a net reduction of $31,592,000 to reflect both a reduction of $24,592,000 for the quantity of systems purchased and $7,000,000 to reflect a change to the management of the acquisition of this system as discussed below.

The Army presently categorizes the Wolverine (HAB) program as an ACAT II major acquisition program under the provisions of DoD Regulation 5000.2. The Committee is concerned that this ACAT II categorization is resulting in substantially inflated costs due to the significant additional administrative overhead charges that the Army requires for ACAT II programs versus ACAT III programs (program management staff, STS charges, and more extensive/costly system testing requirements). These added administrative costs make the program less cost competitive compared to the unit costs of other acquisition programs, and may turn out to be the deciding factor as to whether this program is supported by the Committee in the future. The Committee believes this classification may be a case where the momentum of a bureaucratic decision made in the past under different circumstances has been allowed to stand even though this program has been substantially changed. For instance, while the Army indicates that the ACAT II regulation dictates that extensive and costly testing be performed, the Committee notes that over $326,000,000 has already been appropriated for 46 of these systems, that the milestone for the first unit equipped was passed in February of 2001, that an additional $48,600,000 is included in the fiscal year 2002 budget for five more of these systems, and that the system has 80 percent commonality with the Abrams SEP tank which has successfully completed an exhaustive test regimen. The number of Wolverine HAB systems to be acquired has also been reduced substantially. It would appear that the requirements for additional ACAT II-level testing for the HAB are incongruous with the fact that the Army has proceeded well past the point of deciding whether or not to acquire this system. Accordingly, the Committee directs that the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of the Army review the need to continue administering this program at the ACAT II level under the provisions of DoD Regulation 5000.2. The Committee recommends reducing the funding available for this system by $7,000,000 to account for reclassifying this system.

MEDICAL EVACUATION CAPABILITY FOR HEAVY FORCES


The Committee is concerned that, as the Army's remaining heavy combat units are upgraded with Abrams SEP tanks and Bradley A-3 fighting vehicles, the medical evacuation and en route treatment capability remains inadequate. The current ground evacuation platform appears incapable of keeping up with this modernized force and lacks the protection necessary to evacuate casualties from the close combat fight. The current platform also lacks the capability of providing essential en route medical treatment. The Committee directs the Army to provide a report to the congressional defense committees by no later than March 31, 2002 outlining how it plans to provide survivable medical evacuation and improved medical treatment capability to the soldiers of heavy combat units.

RIVERBANK ARMY AMMUNITION PLANT


In the conference report accompanying the Department of Defense Appropriations Act for fiscal year 2001, the conferees included $3,000,000 only for the Riverbank Army Ammunition Plant (AAP). The Committee is aware that the Army has not acted to carry out the intent of this language. Recognizing both the importance of this facility as well as emerging Army requirements, the Committee directs that the Army allocate the fiscal year 2001 funding of $3,000,000 only to prove-out the deep-drawn cartridge case production line at Riverbank AAP.

FAMILY OF MEDIUM TACTICAL VEHICLES


The Committee fully supports the FMTV-A1 Competitive Rebuy (CR) program which should produce a truck that is more capable and less costly compared to the truck currently in production and will also be in compliance with new EPA standards for truck engines. The Committee understands that production of the FMTV-A1 (CR) truck variant is scheduled to commence in March 2004, a full seven months before the end of the production schedule for the current A-1 variant. Given the substantial benefits to the Army and the taxpayer presented under this program, the Committee does not provide the required legislative authority to extend the current multi-year contract authority for the A-1 truck variant.

TACTICAL UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLE


The Army requested $84,300,000 for procurement of the Tactical Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (TUAV). The Committee has provided $63,300,000, a reduction of $21,000,000 associated with procurement of three air vehicles.

Subsequent to the budget submission, the Army revised its plans with respect to the timeframes for significant decisions associated with testing and procurement of the TUAV. The Army's revised plan is to continue user testing in the Fall of 2001 and conduct initial operational test and evaluation (IOT&E;) in the Spring of 2002. The Milestone III procurement decision has been moved to August of 2002. Prior to the Milestone III decision, the Army plans to request authority for a low-rate initial production (LRIP) III for six vehicles and a Production I decision for three air vehicles is planned for the end of the fiscal year.

The Committee has eliminated funding for the procurement of the three air vehicles currently planned for the end of fiscal year 2002. The Committee believes funds for procurement should be requested after a Milestone III decision.

The Committee is supportive of the TUAV but believes the Army's revised plan reflects an overly aggressive fielding schedule based on a desire to get the TUAV in to the hands of the warfighter. While the Committee does not oppose the Army's approach, following such an aggressive schedule that includes fielding multiple systems prior to completion of IOTE may lead to increased costs due to potential re-design based on a post-IOT&E; review. Therefore, the Committee directs that funds provided for the LRIP III of the TUAV may not be obligated or expended until the TUAV successfully completes the planned AEC assessment scheduled for 2001. Furthermore, the funds provided for LRIP III of the TUAV may not be obligated or expended until the Secretary of the Army certifies that the TUAV has been adequately tested and justifies the initiation of the LRIP III prior to completion of the IOT&E.;

V-22


The Navy requested $1,009,881,000 for the procurement of 12 V-22 aircraft. The Committee recommends $790,881,000 for 9 aircraft, a reduction of $219,000,000 and 3 aircraft. Earlier this year the Marine Corps was provided with an additional two MV-22 aircraft in the Fiscal Year 2001 Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act (Public Law 107-20).

In all, for fiscal year 2002 the Defense Department requested a total of $2,100,918,000 in all appropriations accounts for twelve MV-22 aircraft. The Committee recommends $1,815,418,000 for eleven aircraft, a reduction of $285,500,000. Of the amount recommended by the Committee, $790,881,000 is for the procurement of nine MV-22 aircraft for the Marine Corps, and $208,202,000 is for procurement and modifications for two CV-22 aircraft for the U.S. Special Operations Forces. This transfer of budgetary resources to the CV-22 program will enable the Department to commence initial operational testing on an accelerated basis as recommended jointly by the Marine Corps and the Special Operations Command. It is also the Committee's recommendation that until such a time that the V-22 program has completed its program restructure, and returned to flight status, the overall production rate should be held to no more than 11 aircraft per year.

MH-60R HELICOPTER


The Committee is concerned about the future direction of the MH-60R multi-mission helicopter given recent schedule delays and a significant program restructure. As the cornerstone of the Navy's Helicopter masterplan to replace aging SH-60B and SH-60F helicopters it is vital that the MH-60R begin production as soon as practicable. It is the Committee's sense that all opportunities should be taken to incorporate COTS technology into the MH-60R program whenever possible for all mission functions.

The Committee also directs the Department of the Navy to submit a report to the House Appropriations Committee no later than March 15, 2002, detailing the acquisition strategy for the MH-60R's Advanced Low Frequency (ALFS) dipping sonar to include: (1) a life cycle field support plan, (2) a pre-planned product improvement plan, and (3) technology development plans for a follow-on to the ALFS system.

PROGRAM RECOMMENDED


The total recommended in the bill will provide the following program in fiscal year 2002.

TRIDENT II D-5 MISSILE


The Navy requested $559,042,000 for the procurement of 12 Trident II D-5 missiles. The Committee recommends $534,042,000, a reduction of $25,000,000. The Committee is concerned that the request for funds for the D-5 life extension program has been made without the benefit of a rigorous requirement review or systems engineering analysis to ensure that the proper components are being acquired to extend the life of the D-5 missile inventory. The Committee therefore directs the Department of the Navy to undertake these efforts using all available design tools to efficiently structure a life extension program to include the Naval Supply System Command's Rapid Retargeting Technology program.

TORPEDO INDUSTRIAL BASE


The Committee directs the Secretary of the Navy to provide a report to Congress by January 15, 2002 on the Navy's plan for maintaining and improving the nation's torpedo development and production industrial base for both heavyweight and lightweight weapons. The report shall discuss both the public and private sector components of the torpedo industrial base including infrastructure capacity, cumulative investment and planned workload with specific budget and/or technical recommendations for consideration. The report shall also discuss options for increasing the production of lightweight torpedoes used by its surface and air Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) capable forces to economic production levels. This aspect of the report should identify the required inventory levels of a capable ASW weapon to provide the Navy (surface and air assets) with an ASW combat capability against small diesel submarines in littoral waters. In addition, the report should discuss the potential for international sales of the MK 54.

NAVY AREA BALLISTIC MISSILE DEFENSE PROGRAM


Procurement funding for the Navy Area ballistic missile defense program has been moved to `Procurement, Ballistic Missile Defense Organization' in title IX.

PROGRAM RECOMMENDED


The total recommended in the bill will provide the following program in fiscal year 2002.

SHIPBUILDING PROGRAM MANAGEMENT


The Committee is increasingly concerned about what it views as a serious lack of programmatic and fiscal discipline with respect to Naval shipbuilding programs. Specifically, it appears that significant cost increases and schedule delays have virtually become standard and accepted business practices with regard to almost every shipbuilding program under the Navy's management. Morever, recent poor cost and schedule performance, as typified by the LPD-17 and New Attack Submarine programs, seem to be tolerated by senior Navy leadership as a norm. The Committee believes that the Navy has actually compounded this problem by the establishment of the `Prior Year Shipbuilding Cost Account' which requests new appropriations to fund cost increases on previously appropriated ships. While acknowledging the need to meet valid cost growth demands, the Committee is concerned that this could encourage a more aggressive claims posture on the part of shipbuilders, while reducing the incentive for Navy program managers to complete their programs within budgeted amounts.

The Committee is also dismayed that the Navy continues to advocate the use of alternative financing mechanisms to artificially increase shipbuilding rates, such as advanced appropriations, or incremental funding of ships, which only serve to decrease cost visibility and accountability on these important programs. In attempting to establish advanced appropriations as a legitimate budgeting technique, those Navy advocates of such practices would actually decrease the flexibility of future Administrations and Congresses to make rational capital budgeting decisions with regard to shipbuilding programs. Accordingly, the Committee bill includes a new general provision (section 8150) which prohibits the Defense Department from budgeting for shipbuilding programs on the basis of advanced appropriations.

It is argued by some, including many in the Navy and the shipbuilding industry, that the best way to improve the cost performance of shipbuilding programs is simply to increase the number of ships being built in any given year in order to enjoy the benefits of economies of scale. However, the Committee believes this is only part of the equation. Investment is also needed in better cost estimating techniques, innovative design and manufacturing technologies and competitive sub-vendor strategies in a low rate production environment, all areas that have not traditionally received strong attention or support from the Navy. It should be noted that these lessons were learned years ago by the aerospace industry, which remains highly competitive internationally despite producing at vastly reduced rates for the Defense Department.

The Committee will continue to work in partnership with the Navy and the shipbuilding industry to provide adequate resources to maintain the size of the fleet and keep the industrial base economically sound. Towards that end, the Committee has provided an additional $790,792,000 above the fiscal year 2002 budget request for shipbuilding programs. These funds will enable the Navy to exceed those production rates requested in its fiscal year 2002 budget by procuring an additional DDG-51 destroyer, accelerating the conversion and overhaul of the CVN-69, and initiating a four submarine Tactical Trident program instead of two as proposed by the Navy. The Committee will also exercise its oversight responsibilities to ensure that the continued recapitalization of the fleet is accomplished in an efficient and cost-effective manner.

SSGN TACTICAL TRIDENT


The Navy requested $86,440,000 for the SSGN Tactical Trident Program. The Committee recommends $549,440,000, an increase of $463,000,000. The additional funds provided by the Committee are for all the necessary expenses to initiate a four submarine SSGN program to include an additional reactor core, design, conversion planning, and long lead materials.

The Committee strongly endorses this effort to convert and equip otherwise retiring Trident submarines as cruise missile carriers. The Committee also believes that there exists a substantial business and operational case for converting four submarines to the SSGN configuration, instead of two as proposed by the Navy. A two submarine SSGN program yields deployment patterns that provide forward presence in only one theater worldwide, and calls into question the cost-effectiveness of the investment required which would provide half the capability of a four submarine program for two-thirds of the cost due to one time non-recurring design and fixed costs. On the other hand, a four submarine SSGN program would provide continuous presence in two theaters worldwide while freeing up Navy assets for other missions such as theater ballistic missile defense, intelligence and surveillance, and homeland defense. It would also provide more opportunities for experimentation and demonstration of alternative payloads. The Committee therefore urges the Navy to complete the proper program planning and budgeting to ensure that a four submarine SSGN program is supported in the fiscal year 2003 budget request.

DDG-51 DESTROYER


The Navy requested $2,966,036,000 for three DDG-51 destroyers. The Committee recommends $3,786,036,000 for four destroyers, an increase of $820,000,000 and one destroyer. Recognizing the necessity of maintaining the size of the surface combatant fleet in light of the pending DD-21 program restructure and delay, the Committee recommends the continued acquisition of DDG-51 destroyers.

LPD-17 ACQUISITION STRATEGY


The LPD-17 amphibious ship acquisition strategy needs to aggressively incorporate life-cycle cost reduction as a major program objective. In general, the use of composite materials can be a major contributor to achieving this goal. Specifically, composite fairwater components offer a much lower life-cycle cost compared to metallic fairwaters, including the ability to inspect shaft bearings and change out fairwaters without dry-docking the ship. In order to ensure that this cost reduction can be achieved in a timely manner the Committee directs that the Department of the Navy use up to $5,000,000 of fiscal year 2002 funds requested for Ship Outfitting in the `Shipbuilding and Conversion, Navy' appropriation account for the design tooling and procurement of main propulsion shaft rotating and non-rotating composite fairwaters for the LPD-17 lead ship.

INNOVATIVE STAND-OFF DOOR BREACHING MUNITIONS


Last year, Congress provided funds to the Marine Corps for the Innovative Stand-Off Door Breaching Munition (ISOD). The Committee recognizes that the Marine Corps will require non-explosive fire from enclosure capability in order to operate effectively in Military Operations on Urbanized Terrain (MOUT) engagements. ISOD technology will enable forces engaged in the urban battleground to breach doors and other similar structures from a stand-off distance of up to 100 meters without exposing Marines to direct hostile fire. The Committee is encouraged by the Marine Corps' pursuit of this technology and supports the Marine Corps' efforts to examine the broad application of ISOD to both regular and special operations forces. The Committee requests that the Marine Corps keep the Committee informed of the progress of this initiative.

PROGRAM RECOMMENDED


The total program recommended in the bill will provide the following in fiscal year 2002:

F-22


The Air Force requested $2,658,153,000 to procure 13 F-22 aircraft. The Committee recommends $2,655,553,000, a net reduction of $2,600,000. This adjustment includes a decrease of $100,000,000 for tooling, a decrease of $14,000,000 for ancillary equipment, and an increase of $111,400,000 for redesign of obsolete parts.

The F-22 has recently received approval from the Office of the Secretary of Defense to enter into low rate initial production. However, based on continued growth in cost estimates for the aircraft as well as continued delays in testing, the Defense Acquisition Board (DAB) agreed to slow down the planned production ramp. The fiscal year 2002 budget, prepared before the DAB decision, includes a request for $135,500,000 for tooling. The Air Force concedes that the new production plan results in a reduced requirement for tooling, though to date the Air Force does not  have a revised tooling estimate. Given the change in the production ramp, and the availability of nearly $160,000,000 provided last year for tooling, the Committee recommends a reduction of $100,000,000.

The Committee further recommends a reduction of $14,000,000 out of $61,900,000 requested for ancillary equipment. Ancillary equipment includes items such as bomb racks, drop tanks, and missile rails. These items are not necessarily procured on a one for one basis with each aircraft, and they typically have shorter lead times than a full-up F-22 aircraft. Ancillary equipment should be budgeted lead time from need and the committee accordingly recommends a reduction of $14,000,000.

The Committee is also concerned with a number of peculiar budgeting practices in the F-22 program. For example, the Air Force has budgeted cost reduction initiatives for future aircraft as part of the cost of current year aircraft and engines. Last year, this practice allowed cost reduction initiatives to be `traded away' to pay for airframe cost increases without budget displays showing the full change in unit cost. Other issues involve ancillary equipment budgeted in multiple line-items and DMS redesign efforts budgeted in advanced procurement. The Committee has moved the DMS funding from advanced procurement to the regular F-22 funding line. The Committee directs the Air Force to carefully review the F-22 and other aircraft budget displays to resolve these and similar issues in future submissions. The Committee encourages the OSD and Air Force Comptroller organizations to more aggressively review the details behind these budget displays to ensure they conform with normal budgeting practices.

C-17 MULTIYEAR PROCUREMENT CONTRACT


The Committee has provided an additional $180,900,000 for procurement of economic order quantity (EOQ) parts associated with initiation of a second C-17 multiyear contract (or extension of the current contract). Recent mobility requirements analyses have consistently established the need for additional strategic airlift. The current C-17 multiyear contract ends in fiscal year 2003, and the EOQ to initiate a second contract would otherwise be required in fiscal year 2002. The Committee is disappointed that the Air Force did not include these EOQ funds in its fiscal year 2002 request. The Air Force has indicated that delaying a decision on a second multiyear contract could add as much as $1,000,000,000 to the cost of the program. The Committee strongly supports the need for additional C-17 aircraft and has provided the requisite EOQ funding. However, the Committee still insists that DoD provide the customary multiyear budget documentation prior to contract award. Accordingly, the Committee has included a new general provision (Sec. 8151), which requires the submission of this budget documentation at least 30 days prior to award of a C-17 contract. The provision also requires the Secretary of Defense to certify that all other Title 10 requirements with regard to a proposed multiyear procurement have been satisfied. The Committee expects that a savings of up to 15 percent relative to annual contracts will be achieved through the use of multiyear contracting on this important program.

C-40 AEROMEDIVAC AIRCRAFT


In light of the recent terrorist attacks, the Committee believes it is imperative to ensure the military has a modern medical response capability.  The Committee recommendation includes an additional $85,000,000, over the amounts in the budget request, only for a 737-700 aircraft to initiate replacement of the aging fleet of C-9 AEROMEDIVAC aircraft.

GLOBAL HAWK HIGH ALTITUDE ENDURANCE (HAE) UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLE (UAV)


The fiscal year 2002 budget included a total request of $309,367,000 for the Global Hawk HAE UAV, an increase of $142,616,000 over the fiscal year 2001 appropriation, not including a supplemental appropriation. The Committee recommends a total of $259,367,000 for the Global Hawk HAE UAV, a reduction of $50,000,000 from the budget request and $92,616,000 over the fiscal year 2001 appropriated level.

In addition, the Committee has provided a total increase of $40,000,000 over the President's budget request for projects in support of the current and future Global Hawk mission. The Committee recommends a $10,000,000 increase for the Navy to pursue the Broad Area Maritime Surveillance (BAMS) concept in support of the Maritime Patrol and Reconnaissance (MPR) mission and a $30,000,000 increase for the Air Force to pursue a modern ELINT system, including the High Band Sub System (HBSS) alternative from the terminated Joint SIGINT Avionics Family (JSAF) program.

The Air Force requested $33,500,000 for advanced procurement of the Global Hawk HAE UAV. The Committee recommends no funding, a reduction of $33,500,000.

The $33,500,000 request was based on the Air Force plan to purchase long lead items for two air vehicles scheduled for delivery in fiscal year 2004. Prior to the 2004 delivery, significant decisions must be made in 2002 and 2003. It is unclear to the Committee if the planned advances in the program will be sufficient to request or approve these decisions and therefore the long lead request in fiscal year 2002 appears premature.

The Committee supports Air Force plans to accelerate production of the Block 10 variant Global Hawk aircraft. The planned enhanced engine performance and sensor enhancements in that aircraft offer significant increases in reconnaissance capability. The Committee remains concerned, however, about the lack of detailed information on the accelerated production plan, and withholds its commitment to full scale production of Block 10 aircraft prior to completion of initial operational test and evaluation. The Committee directs the Air Force to provide for the Committee a detailed plan for Block 10 production by December 1, 2001. Should the Air Force determine that it is in the best interest of the government to order long lead items prior to the completion of the initial operational test and evaluation, the Committee would consider a reprogramming request.

C-17 MODIFICATIONS


The Air Force requested $139,278,000 for C-17 Modifications. The Committee recommends $98,878,000, a reduction of $40,400,000. This amount includes a reduction of $33,400,000 for Large Aircraft Infrared Countermeasures (LAIRCM) and $7,000,000 for cost savings in GATM modifications. With regard to LAIRCM, the Committee notes that initiation of the development program has been delayed until fiscal year 2002. Though the Committee supports the LAIRCM program, the Committee has deferred production in recognition of the delays in the development program.

C-5 MODIFICATIONS


The Air Force requested $103,214,000 for C-5 modifications. The Committee recommends $12,714,000, a reduction of $90,500,000. As conceived last year, the C-5 Avionics Modernization Program (AMP) was based on a `fly-before-buy' acquisition strategy. Delays in the development program have deferred the projected completion of flight testing until the third quarter of fiscal year 2003. In keeping with the original acquisition strategy, the Committee recommendation defers initial production of the C-5 AMP modification by one year. The Committee supports the need for C-5 avionics modernization. However, it has been the Committee's experience that the complexity of this type of modification has been consistently underestimated by the government and contractors in the past (the Air Force experience with the T-38 is a recent example). Accordingly, the Committee believes that the Air Force's original `fly-before-buy' acquisition strategy is prudent and should be preserved.

ALL TERRAIN LOADER


The Committee directs the Air Force, in full consultation with the Army, to review the capability of current material handling equipment to meet mission requirements for C-130 deployability, high volume, unimproved surface mobility, austere airfield operations, and off-road transport. As the Army moves toward a transformation force, it is critical that sufficient material handling equipment be available to support operations at austere airfields. The review should identify any requirement gaps, anticipated equipment shortfalls, or other limitations of current material handling equipment, and be submitted to the Committee on Appropriations by March 31, 2002.

COMBAT SEARCH AND RESCUE


The Committee is aware of the increased expense and decreased operational readiness associated with maintaining our aging helicopter fleet. Last year the conferees noted Air Force intentions to replace aging Combat Search and Rescue (CSAR) helicopters with a new medium-lift aircraft with greater range and speed. The Committee believes that the operational fielding of replacement CSAR helicopters should be accelerated and recommends the Air Force consider available `fly-before-buy' alternatives.

PROGRAM RECOMMENDED


The total program recommended in the bill will provide the following in fiscal year 2002:

GPS ADVANCE PROCUREMENT


The Air Force requested $23,760,000 for advance procurement for modifications to GPS satellites. The Committee denies the request. The use of advance procurement authority is a special exception to the full funding policy reserved almost exclusively for procurement of new production items. Such authority is typically not extended to modifications. The Committee is further dismayed with this particular request in that many of the parts appear to be budgeted ahead of need. Most of the requested parts have extremely short lead times (6 months) and would deliver well within fiscal year 2002. These parts would ostensibly sit on the shelf until needed by a modification that is not funded until fiscal year 2003. Accordingly, the Committee recommends deferring purchase of these parts until fiscal year 2003, in keeping with normal full funding budgeting practices.

SBIRS HIGH


The Air Force requested $93,752,000 for advance procurement for the entire production run of the Space Based Infrared System (SBIRS) High satellite program. The Committee denies the request. The Committee notes that the SBIRS High development program is currently facing serious hardware and software design problems. These problems are driving significant program shortfalls in all years, reportedly totaling more than $500 million. A recent GAO report notes that sensor jitter and inadequate infrared sensitivity as well as an issue of stray sunlight have plagued the program and are driving cost increases and schedule delays. Program officials have indicated that there are currently unbudgeted payload redesign activities and that schedule variances experienced to date portend serious schedule impacts ahead. The program office also reports `inconceivable software code growth' with an `overwhelming' number of discrepancy reports in ground mission software. The program is achieving `at best  1/2  of the estimated software development productivity' required to meet its schedule. Given these issues, the Committee believes it is prudent to defer satellite hardware procurement to provide additional time for development. The Committee notes that this action in itself will have no impact on projected launch dates given that these satellites were being procured ahead of need under the existing acquisition strategy. Likely slips in the development program will also provide additional margin for the production program. To address fiscal year 2002 development shortfalls, the Committee has added $30,000,000 in the Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Air Force appropriations  account for SBIRS High.

SPACE BASED IR SENSOR PROGRAM


The Air Force requested $54,347,000 for hardware for a backup SBIRS mission control system. The Committee denies the request. Software development for the SBIRS system has suffered significant delays resulting in a 2 year slip in the initial implementation (Increment 1). As noted in the SBIRS High satellite discussion elsewhere in this report, according to the GAO, the program continues to experience `inconceivable software code growth' with an `overwhelming' number of discrepancy reports in ground mission software. The program is achieving `at best  1/2  of the estimated software development productivity' required to meet its schedule. Given these software delays and the availability of an existing interim backup ground station, the Committee recommendation defers hardware procurement for the permanent backup ground system.

PROGRAM RECOMMENDED


The total program recommended in the bill will provide the following in fiscal year 2002:

TRANSFERS TO TITLE IX


Procurement funding for the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization, the Defense Threat Reduction Agency, and for the Defense-Wide chemical and biological defense programs has been moved to title IX.

ADVANCED SEAL DELIVERY SYSTEM


The Special Operations Command requested $33,439,000 for procurement of Advanced Sea, Air, Land (SEAL) Delivery Systems (ASDS) and $13,697,000 for Advanced Procurement for ASDS. The Committee recommends $14,238,000 for procurement and no funds for advance procurement.

The ASDS is a manned combatant mini-submarine used for the clandestine delivery of Special Operations Forces personnel and weapons. Once the ASDS is available it will provide a significant improvement to the current capabilities of the SEAL force but the first system has been plagued by excessive cost overruns and schedule delays. Congress has needed to approve reprogrammings to cover the increasing development cost in each of the last four years and faces the same predicament in fiscal year 2002. The first system has been delivered, but it still does not meet noise requirements and its battery has not met the endurance requirements for all missions. The Committee supports the ASDS program, but believes it is premature to procure additional ASDS systems prior to resolving the outstanding issues and has deferred funding for the second system. The Committee has also added $5,000,000 to the fiscal year 2002 Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Defense-Wide  budget to enable the Special Operations Command to resolve the battery and noise issues.

PROGRAM RECOMMENDED


The total recommended in the bill will provide the following program in fiscal year 2002.

This appropriation provides funds for the procurement of tactical aircraft and other equipment for the National Guard and Reserve.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS


The President requested $1,897,100,000 for National Guard and Reserve Equipment throughout the Services' procurement appropriations, for programs that the Committee has addressed elsewhere in this report. In this appropriation, the  Committee recommends an increase of $501,485,000 for the procurement of crucial aircraft, ground transportation, communications, and training systems for the National Guard and Reserve. The Committee is aware of the valuable contributions which are made by National Guard and Reserve forces to the defense of our Nation and realizes  they are indispensable in the day-to-day conduct of military operations both within the United States and in every theater where U.S. troops are deployed. The Committee is particularly proud and grateful to the thousands of National Guardsmen and Reservists who have been activated to participate in operations NOBLE EAGLE and ENDURING FREEDOM, our nation's reponse to the tragic attack against our country which occurred on September 11, 2001.

UH-60 BLACKHAWK HELICOPTERS


The Army requested $174,515,000 for UH-60 Blackhawk Helicopters for the Army National Guard in the Aircraft Procurement, Army account. The Committee recommends the requested amount elsewhere in this report, and further recommends an additional $131,176,000 for the procurement of eight UH-60L Blackhawk helicopters only for the A and D Companies of the 158th Aviation Battalion, Army Reserve. The Committee provided funding in fiscal year 2001 to establish two Army Reserve Blackhawk Companies and is aware that eight additional helicopters would fill out the required aircraft for those units.

BRADLEY FIGHTING VEHICLE ODS


The Committee recommends $60,000,000 only for Bradley Fighting Vehicle Base Sustainment to upgrade National Guard Bradley fighting vehicles to the ODS (Operation Desert Storm) configuration. This effort to improve survivability and remedy operational deficiencies will significantly improve the combat effectiveness of National Guard units.

RESERVE COMPONENT AUTOMATION SYSTEM


The Committee recommends $18,000,000 for the Reserve Component Automation System, only to extend and improve information technology infrastructure by upgrading to current technologies and leveraging these improvements to support traditional and emerging missions of the Reserve Components.

C-130J


The Committee recommends $226,909,000 for two C-130J aircraft and associated support only for the Air National Guard to be used solely for western states firefighting. The Committee continues to be concerned about the numerous forest fires, which have ravaged the western United States, and is aware that National Guard units have played a key role in fighting those fires.

PROGRAM RECOMMENDED


The total amount recommended in the bill will provide the following in the fiscal year 2002:

FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT MODERNIZATION PROGRAM


The Committee supports the Department's effort to modernize its financial management system. A key part of that process is ensuring that the Department has adequate oversight of all its Financial Management Information Technology Systems. The Committee has included a general provision to reinforce that oversight.

The President's budget requested $100,000,000 in Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Defense-Wide to support the Financial Management Modernization Program. Although the majority of this work would be done in the Defense Working Capital Fund, the Department decided to request all the funding in this account. The Committee appreciates the intent, but recommends funding $40,000,000 in Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Defense-Wide, and the balance in the Defense Working Capital Fund to reflect the way the program will be executed. Given the enormity of the task the Committee would support expenses within the Working Capital Fund in excess of the $60,000,000.

CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE PROTECTION


The failure of software that controls our critical infrastructure (power, transportation, financial etc.) would produce a crippling blow to our nation's security. The Committee encourages the President to establish a Critical Infrastructure Protection Program that addresses this threat.

DEFENSE JOINT ACCOUNTING SYSTEM


The President's Budget requested $39,500,000 in the Defense Working Capital Fund for the Defense Joint Accounting System (DJAS). The Committee remains concerned that this may not be the most effective solution for the Department's financial management requirements. Section 391 of the Floyd D. Spence National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2001 required the Department to analyze the alternatives and to report back to Congress on whether DJAS merits deployment. This has not been done. The Committee therefore recommends terminating the program, unless the Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller) determines that DJAS is an essential part of the Department's Financial Management Modernization Strategy.

SPAWAR INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY CENTER


The Committee directs the Department of the Navy to implement all DIMHRS development and integration efforts using the enterprise concept of operations at the SPAWAR Information Technology Center (SITC), and to continue enterprise level reengineering and web-enabling of legacy systems, and portal integration efforts, at the SITC.

DEFENSE TRAVEL SERVICE


The Defense Travel Service program has an unfortunate track record of requesting more funding than it can execute. The Committee has therefore reduced the budget request in Research, Development, Test and Evaluation by $20,000,000. Should this year be different and the Department be able to fully execute this program, the Committee expects the Department to submit a reprogramming request subject to normal, prior approval reprogramming procedures.

NAVY MARINE CORPS INTRANET


The Navy Marine Corps Intranet is a promising idea. However, to date the program's management and implementation have proceeded in a manner that does not inspire confidence. It remains to be seen whether the Department of the Navy can overcome the program's inauspicious start and implement a solution it can rely upon.

When the Navy decided to pursue the idea of outsourcing the entire Navy information technology network, it did so without conducting an analysis of the alternatives. In fact, in response to congressional inquiries about the basis for the decision, the Navy maintained that prior to the decision to proceed with this initiative, no study was done and no briefing paper prepared that recommended this option.

To avoid any delay or outside oversight, no business case analysis was to be prepared, no new start notification was to be provided to Congress and as new concerns were raised, the Navy would argue that they did not apply in this case. This approach reached its conclusion in the summer of 2000, when Navy lawyers were forced to argue that the NMCI contract was both a `new start' and `not a new start' depending on which requirement the Department was trying to avoid. It was at this point that the combined objections of Congress, OSD and OMB led to a moderation of the Navy's position and a belated effort by the Navy to comply with the Clinger-Cohen Act. An agreement was reached between the Navy and OSD, and made law in the fiscal year 2001 National Defense Authorization Act, to allow for an initial fielding of 15 percent of the `seats' required followed by a strategic pause. The Department was to conduct a revised business case analysis, perform operational testing and evaluation, comply with the Department's information assurance architecture and gather user satisfaction data to determine if the program should continue.

Despite the Memorandum of Agreement with OSD and the legal requirements of the Authorization Act, the Navy then signed a contract that did not incorporate these requirements. According to the Navy, the contract was designed to implement NMCI as quickly as possible and assumed no disruption in schedule. Over the last year, however, the program has had several delays unrelated to the oversight requirements. As a result, in one year, NMCI has had a six month slip in its schedule for fielding and testing the system.

The Committee observes new OSD and Navy leadership thus find themselves in a situation where they cannot comply with both the law and the contract as written. In addition, it is still not clear that the NMCI proposal can obtain the information assurance certification it would need to be fully implemented. Under the Department's most recent proposal under consideration, the key decision to proceed would occur in January 2003 without the benefit of a completed business case, without user satisfaction data, with contractor testing in lieu of operational testing and with a much smaller test population than originally expected. Although this may be the best solution the Navy and OSD can design under these circumstances, it is clearly not the best way to be making multibillion dollar contract decisions. The Committee expects that the House and Senate Armed Services Committees, as the authors of the original law specifying the criteria for NMCI acquisition, will re-examine the rules for continuing this program as part of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2002. At this point in time, consistent with the actions of the House Armed Services Committee, this Committee recommends a reduction of $120,000,000 to the NMCI program.

The Committee believes that regardless of the outcome of the review process, there is much to be learned by this experience, and from the hard work of numerous individuals involved in the day-to-day oversight, management and implementation of the NMCI program. Nor should the difficulty with implementing this particular program discourage others from considering innovative options for managing information technology networks.

Therefore, the Committee directs the Secretary of the Air Force to conduct a study comparing different solutions to managing an information technology network and to provide recommendations on how a service or agency might implement those solutions, including any lessons to be learned from the NMCI effort.

TITLE IV


RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT, TEST AND EVALUATION


ESTIMATES AND APPROPRIATION SUMMARY


The fiscal year 2002 budget request for programs funded in Title IV of the Committee bill, Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, totals $47,429,433,000. The accompanying bill recommends $40,090,256,000. The total amount recommended is a decrease of $7,339,177,000 below the fiscal year 2002 budget estimate and is $1,269,349,000 below the total provided in fiscal year 2001. (As described elsewhere in this report, these amounts reflect the amounts provided in Title IV of the Committee bill, after the movement of $8,236,705,000 of funds previously appropriated in this Title to a new appropriations title, Title IX.) The table below summarizes the budget estimate and the Committee's recommendations.

SPECIAL INTEREST ITEMS


Items for which additional funds have been provided as shown in the project level tables or in paragraphs using the phrase `only for' or `only to' in this report are congressional interest items for the purpose of the Base for Reprogramming (DD 1414). Each of these items must be carried on the DD Form 1414 at the stated amount, or a revised amount if changed during conference or if otherwise specifically addressed in the conference report. These items remain special interest items whether or not they are repeated in a subsequent conference report.

INFORMATION ASSURANCE TESTING


The Committee continues to be concerned about the security of military systems with regard to information attack and exploitation. The Committee has directed, in prior years, that information assurance testing be included in the operational tests of all newly acquired DoD systems. The Committee notes that the changing tide of technology means that a system that passes all tests today could be vulnerable to the newly developed attacks of tomorrow. Therefore, it is vitally important to conduct periodic testing of all DoD systems, both old and new, to help ensure these systems are adequately protected. Accordingly, the Committee directs that all DoD systems receive periodic information assurance testing. The Committee directs that the Director of Operational Test & Evaluation develop a policy to implement the Committee's direction and report on this policy and its implementation to the congressional defense committees no later than February 1, 2002.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY RESEARCH


The Committee is concerned with the practices of the Department of Energy when it does work for the Department of Defense. The DoE, in entering into agreements with the DoD, adds a surcharge above its normal overhead costs in order to fund laboratory directed research and development that is unrelated to the specific purpose for which funds were appropriated in this Act. The House-passed Energy and Water Development Appropriations Act, 2002 specifically prohibits DOE from applying this surcharge against DoD funds. Consistent with this prohibition, the Committee recommends reducing the research and development funds provided to the Department of Energy through DoD contracts by $20,000,000, divided among the Services and Defense-Wide accounts. The Committee expects individuals in DoD who issue contracts to ensure that the funds they send to other agencies are used only for the purpose for which they were appropriated.

CLASSIFIED ANNEX


Adjustments of the classified programs are addressed in a classified annex accompanying this report.

AVIATION REQUIREMENT FOR JOINT TACTICAL TERMINAL (JTT)


The Committee understands that the Navy and the Air Force have a requirement for an aviation-based radio that is Integrated Broadcast Service (IBS) compliant. The Committee directs the Navy and the Air Force to work together and by June 1, 2002, submit to the Committee a joint requirement and a development and procurement strategy to meet the requirement.

ARMY VENTURE CAPITAL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY DEMONSTRATION


The Committee believes the Army must do much more to improve its ability to exploit advanced technology in a  timely and efficient manner if it is to meet the ambitious timelines it has established for transformation. The Army's transformation plan is dependent on significant technological advances in weapons, armor, communications and propulsion systems, many of which will originate in the commercial technology development sector. Private companies have outspent the federal government in applied research for several years now and are spending a large and growing share of the country's basic research dollars. Unfortunately, while the Army leadership has recognized the growing need to tap the commercial technology sector, the Army R&D; community appears to be experiencing continuing difficulty in developing better collaborative ties with the young, small, growth-oriented companies that take risks and push innovation. This appears to be due in part to the rigidity of traditional contracting mechanisms as well as an acquisition culture that has little concern for the business needs and methods of the commercial world. The Committee sees little hope for the Army to deliver the technological advances it promises without a major change in the way it exploits commercial technology to use the vitality, speed, and intellectual power of the U.S. commercial sector to its maximum advantage.

The Committee believes that the recent experience of the CIA, which has similar technological challenges, can be instructive to the Army. The CIA established the not-for-profit In-Q-Tel Corporation venture capital fund managed by personnel experienced in venture capital, business and government who identify and invest in early-stage companies that have a concept, a plausible market, and a business plan to develop key technologies important to the agency. This concept has yielded some very promising results for the CIA and the Committee believes the Army could benefit similarly from a well-structured venture capital effort. The Committee, therefore, has included a new general provision, Section 8145. which provides $50,000,000 for the formation of a not-for-profit corporation to oversee an Army venture capital fund established under authority of 10 U.S.C. 2371. The purpose of this corporation shall be to make equity investments in early-stage companies developing technologies that are important to the Army but also have potential to find commercial markets in the longer term. The Committee will expect the Army to program sufficient resources to continue this corporation at existing or greater funding levels for the next six fiscal years. It is the intention of the Committee that the Army model its venture capital fund corporation on the Central Intelligence Agency's In-Q-Tel Corporation. Further, it is the intention of the Committee that this corporation report directly to the Assistant Secretary of the Army (Acquisition Logistics and Technology) on its operations.

To provide information necessary for oversight of this fund, the Committee directs the Secretary of the Army to submit the following reports to the congressional defense committees. Not later than 90 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of the Army shall submit a report on the implementation of this initiative. In addition to a list of actions the Army will take to initiate the corporation, this report shall also list those technical problems that can best be solved by quick identification of commercial-sector technologies and the rapid transition of these technologies to Army applications. Upon the formation of the corporation, the Secretary of the Army shall submit a report on the formation of the corporation, including a detailed description of the corporation's members of the board, operating procedures, and investment strategies. This report shall also describe measures that the Army will take to develop and implement streamlined acquisition procedures enabling the Army to develop and field technologies identified by the venture capital fund corporation.  Not later than March 31 of each year, the Secretary of the Army shall submit a report on the operations of the corporation during the preceding fiscal year, including a detailed description of the corporation's investments and financial performance during such fiscal year.

NEXT GENERATION GPS/INS NAVIGATION FOR MUNITIONS


The Army requested $40,112,000 for missile technology programs including continuation of the effort to develop cheaper precision guidance systems using micro electro-mechanical system (MEMS) technology. The Committee recommends $57,612,000, for this program, a net increase of $17,500,000 of which $10,000,000 is to accelerate the MEMS program as discussed below.

The Committee is concerned that the Army has paid insufficient attention to the projected cost of its precision guided indirect fire munitions. The Committee cannot justify artillery rounds costing $25,000 to $35,000 per round given the number of rounds the Army needs for training and for the war fight. At these costs, the Army will never be able to integrate precision guided munitions into its warfighting doctrine and tactics for anything more than `silver bullet' extraordinary requirements. The Committee notes that the Army has undertaken a promising `MEMS IMU' program aimed at gretly reducing the cost of the high-g precision weapon guidance sets, which are the biggest cost drivers for these weapons. The goal of this program is to develop in the near term very inexpensive, tactical-grade, high-g rugged, inertial measurement units using micro electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) technology. In addition, a companion effort to develop ultra-deep coupling between GPS-IMU hardware and software holds great promise for improving anti-jam capability.

The MEMS IMU program has the potential to bring precision indirect fire munitions into a cost range that is affordable, and can be readily transferred to the guidance sets of many other precision weapons for all services as well. The Committee has provided an additional $10,000,000 to accelerate and expand this effort for FY 2002. This program should be given high priority by the Army. The Committee will be disinclined to appropriate large amounts for Army precision guided munitions until this effort has concluded. The Committee also directs that this program be fully coordinated with similar, but smaller programs of the other services. The Committee expects the Army to take the lead to develop a fully coordinated MEMS-IMU/GPS development and manufacturing effort with the other services in order to achieve the common goal of producing low cost guidance sets for the full range of precision weapons as soon as feasible.

DISTRIBUTED COMMON GROUND SYSTEM (DCGS)


The Army requested $85,242,000 for the Distributed Common Ground System (DCGS). The Committee recommends $72,742,000, a reduction of $12,500,000. The Committee has transferred this $12,500,000 to other related Army DCGS-related programs as follows: Tactical Surveillance System, $7,500,000 and Guardrail modifications, $5,000,000.

The Committee is very pleased with the Army's commitment to the DCGS program and is encouraged by the fiscal year 2002 request which is a $77,421,000 increase over the fiscal year 2001 appropriated level.

HEPATITIS C PROJECT


The Committee has provided $4,000,000 to initiate an effort at Walter Reed Medical Center and the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences to better understand the mechanisms behind high treatment failure rates for Hepatitis C viral infections. This project should be conducted in coordination with an appropriate non-profit medical foundation, and should be focused on enhancing the health care of DoD medical beneficiaries. It is anticipated that the program will be a coordinated effort among all DoD medical treatment facilities in the National Capital Region, with funding management accomplished by the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences.

DD-21 LAND ATTACK DESTROYER


The Navy requested $643,475,000 for continued development of the DD-21 next generation destroyer. The Committee recommends $150,000,000, a decrease of $493,474,000. The Committee further recommends rescinding $40,000,000 of previously appropriated fiscal year 2001 funds for the DD-21 program.

The DD-21 program was to be the Navy's attempt to develop and field a multi-mission, land attack capable, next generation destroyer with a substantially reduced crew size and life cycle cost. It was originally scheduled to begin engineering and manufacturing development with one design team in May of 2001. The down-select to one team has been suspended indefinitely pending a Defense Department program review, and what the Committee understands will be a substantial program restructure. Given the many uncertainties facing the program, the Committee has recommended deferring the request to initiate full-scale development of the DD-21. The $150,000,000 provided for the program in fiscal year 2002 will enable the Navy to continue risk reduction efforts and pursue some of the more promising technologies being developed for the program such as advanced hull forms, the multi-function radar, and the advanced gun system.

In the report that accompanied the fiscal year 2001 Department of Defense Appropriations bill, the Committee outlined its concerns regarding the DD-21 program. They included: (1) the limited role of the Navy's science and technology community and ship designers in program development; (2) an acquisition strategy that hampered inclusion of small and innovative defense companies in the program and; (3) a logistics support plan that had profound implications for the Navy's shore-based ship integrated logistics support infrastructure.

These concerns remain, yet even more fundamental questions regarding the program have emerged such as: (1) Is the Navy's goal of a crew size no greater than 95 attainable or even desirable? (2) Are procurement unit cost estimates realistic? And most importantly, (3) Does the DD-21 truly qualify as a `leap ahead' system and to what degree does it contribute to the transformation of U.S. naval forces in the twenty-first century? The Committee believes that until such a time that these questions have been fully answered by the Navy and the Department of Defense, and a comprehensive program restructure has been presented to Congress, it is prudent to defer the next phase of the DD-21 program. Recognizing that this action will ultimately delay construction of the DD-21 or its successor, and the importance of maintaining the size of the surface combatant fleet, the Committee has also recommended an increase of $820,000,000 to the Navy's budget request for an additional DDG-51 destroyer, for a total of four in fiscal year 2002.

RAPID RETARGETING


The Committee is impressed with the Department of the Navy's Rapid Retargeting program (RRT), a process that addresses the obsolete designs of electronic systems. RRT has provided the technology to eliminate obsolete components in Navy systems and reduce multiple electronic modules into single programmable designs. This process is also being employed to replace many standard electronic modules with programmable COTS components which reduces the requirement for shipboard sparing requirements. The Committee believes that accelerated and expanded use of RRT for all  programs that are considering service life extension programs could result in significant cost savings for the Navy. The Committee therefore directs the Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Research, Development, and Acquisition to establish a process by which all Naval acquisition programs that propose to make use of service life extension programs or `life of type' component buys for electronic systems and components make use of the Naval Supply System Command's RRT design tool to structure their acquisition and program planning. The Assistant Secretary of the Navy should report to the Committee no later than February 15, 2002 on efforts to implement the RRT process.

The Committee is concerned that the development of the CCS MK2 combat control system for nuclear and attack submarines is taking place in an uncompetitive and closed environment that endangers the optimal and rapid evolution of combat control capabilities for the nation's submarine forces. The Committee therefore directs that none of the funds made available for the CCS-MK2 program in fiscal year 2002 be obligated until the Department of the Navy submits a program acquisition plan to Congress which details: (1) the complete use of fully open system architectures in the future development of CCS-MK2, and (2) a full and open competitive acquisition strategy for subsequent versions of CCS-MK2. The Committee also directs that the Navy form an independent program architecture review group to perform a CCS-MK2 middleware migration study to determine the best methods for modernizing and taking advantage of commercial technologies for submarine combat control systems.

LAND ATTACK TECHNOLOGY


The Navy requested $130,993,000 for Land Attack Technology. The Committee recommends $173,193,000, an increase of $42,200,000 over the budget request.

Naval Fires Network (NFN)- The Committee recommends a total of $39,200,000 for Naval Fires Network (NFN). The Committee directs that $25,200,000 is only for the rapid and evolutionary approach to networking of ISR and other assets by transitioning NFN from an experimental system to an afloat prototype. This includes the installation of a prototype that is similar to/same as NFN onboard the USS Lincoln and/or USS Stennis. This funding will support the initiation of the rapid development, installation and deployment of the prototype. The Committee directs that $10,000,000 is only for the development and fielding of the tactical dissemination module (TDM) and the integration of TDM with the NFN prototype effort. The Committee further directs that $4,000,000 is only for a deployable end-to-end training system for NFN. In addition, the Committee believes that the Navy must work with the Air Force with respect to ongoing modeling and exercise support activities that will assist the Air Force and Navy in modifying reconnaissance ground stations and targeting processes to engage time critical targets.

TACTICAL UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLE


The Navy requested $66,349,000 for the Tactical Unmanned Aerial Vehicle. The Committee recommends $76,349,000, an increase of $10,000,000 above the budget request.

Broad-Area Maritime Surveillance (BAMS)- The Committee recommends $10,000,000 only for the development of a prototype Maritime Patrol and Reconnaissance (MPR) mission with advanced surveillance sensor equipment on a Global Hawk High Altitude Endurance (HAE) Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) for experimentation and for examining concepts of operation for use in conjunction with other MPR assets. The Committee directs the Navy to review and analyze results of previous maritime surveillance experiments with the Global Hawk HAE UAV prior to initiating BAMS. The Navy shall also submit a report no later than June 30, 2002 that includes its evaluation of the previous maritime surveillance experiments, the validity of the BAMS approach for MPR, an initial concept of operations for use of an HAE UAV as an adjunct to current MPR assets, and future year plans, including budget requirements, for continued development of the UAV approach to MPR.

Navy Unmanned Aerial Vehicle program.--The Committee understands that the Navy has recently implemented a major restructuring of the management structure for its UAV program. The Committee is pleased that through this change, the Navy has embraced the unique value of UAVs for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance missions. It is clear that this restructuring may lead to further refinements of the U.S. Naval Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Roadmap and execution of the fiscal year 2001 and 2002 budgets. The Committee is supportive of the Navy's efforts and is willing to consider changes as necessary to implement a well-balanced UAV strategy. The budget as requested and appropriated in this bill reflects the program of record. Should the Navy desire to alter the program of record it must seek prior approval from Congress.

SURVEILLANCE AND RECONNAISSANCE SUPPORT


The Navy requested $12,693,000 for SEW Surveillance and Reconnaissance Support. The Committee recommends $17,893,000, an increase of $5,200,000 above the budget request.

Tactical Exploitation of National Assets Program (TENCAP).--The Committee recommends $4,000,000 for a limited demonstration of RADIANT ARGON on an F/A-18. In addition, the Committee recommends $1,200,000 for current and new projects in support of Time Critical Strike (TCS).

DISTRIBUTED COMMON GROUND SYSTEM


JOINT SERVICE IMAGERY PROCESSING SYSTEM--NAVY (JSIPS-N)


The Navy requested $4,467,000 for the Distributed Common Ground System. The Committee recommends $9,467,000, an increase of $5,000,000 above the budget request.

The Navy has had under development two different systems for the processing of imagery data from reconnaissance aircraft: the Tactical Input Segment (TIS) and the Navy Input Station (NAVIS) systems. Each of these systems uses a different method of data decompression for imagery and each system meets a set of requirements established by the Navy. However, each system cannot, at this time, process data from both the SHARP and `legacy' reconnaissance systems which means both of these processing systems are required to take full advantage of the Navy's tactical reconnaissance investment. Unfortunately, the Navy does not have sufficient information on which of these systems would provide the optimum level of imagery processing for the F/A-18 SHARP and other `legacy' tactical reconnaissance systems and has insufficient time to initiate a new development program to merge these capabilities prior to the first deployment of SHARP.

The Committee believes that at this time the best option is for the Navy to continue development of both the TIS and NAVIS systems for the processing of imagery from legacy tactical reconnaissance systems as well as deployed F/A-18 SHARP and directs the Navy to continue the development of these systems. The Navy is directed to report to the Committee by December 1, 2001, on its plans to implement the Committee's direction.

It is apparent that in the future, maintaining two separate systems to process imagery data is inefficient and expensive. The Committee believes the Navy should initiate an effort to either merge these two systems or cancel one of the development programs in order to deploy a single imagery processing system.

Precision Targeting.--The Committee recommends $1,000,000 to address any requirements for processing commercial imagery to support Time Critical Strike.

NURSING TELEHEALTH APPLICATIONS


The Committee recommends $3,000,000 only to initiate an international effort by a consortium of military medical technicians, educators, researchers, and domestic rural healthcare providers to design and deliver a nurse training curriculum to remote international locations with special emphasis on emergency medical training and humanitarian relief. This effort shall use modern information technology including the Partnership for Peace Information Management System and be led by a non-profit educational organization with demonstrated expertise in delivering medical care to remote and under-served areas.

BONE MARROW REGISTRY


The Committee provides $34,000,000 to be administered by the C. W. Bill Young Marrow Donor Recruitment and Research Program, also known, and referred to, within the Naval Medical Research Center, as the Bone Marrow Registry. This DoD donor center has recruited 278,000 DoD volunteers, and provides more marrow donors per week than any other donor center in the Nation. Later this year, the 1,000th service member will donate marrow through this donor center to save a life. The Committee is aware of the continuing success of this national and international life saving program for military contingencies and civilian patients, which now includes 4,500,000 potential volunteer donors, and encourages agencies involved in contingency planning to include the C. W. Bill Young Marrow Donor Recruitment and Research Program in the development and testing of their contingency plans. DD Form 1414 shall show this as a special congressional interest item, and the Committee directs that all of the funds appropriated for this purpose be released to the C. W. Bill Young Marrow Donor Recruitment and Research Program within 60 days of enactment of the fiscal year 2002 Defense Appropriations Act.

TELEMEDICINE


The Committee strongly endorses the Navy's model program in conjunction with the University of California at San Diego, for the telemedicine treatment of burn victims.

JOINT DIRECTED ATTACK MUNITION


The Navy requested $56,285,000 for development efforts related to the Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM). The Committee approves this amount including $12,200,000 requested by the Navy for the JDAM Product Improvement Program (PIP). The Committee designates this $12,200,000 for JDAM PIP as an item of special congressional interest. Further, the Committee directs that $4,800,000 of the JDAM PIP funds may only be used for DAMASK.

LOWER COST PRECISION WEAPON GUIDANCE SYSTEMS


Thr Committee believes that all military services must put priority on research activities aimed at developing miniature electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) for use in precision weapon guidance systems. This research holds much promise for significantly reducing the unit cost of precision-guided weapons through development of low cost inertial measurement units. Given the substantial benefits to all military services, the Committee views it as crucial that the services coordinate their efforts to develop MEMS technology and related anti-jam software upgrades to accelerate systems development and to eliminate duplication of effort. The Committee believes the Army MEMS-IMU/GPS program is the most mature and robust of the various programs, and directs the Navy to ensure that its MEMS guidance system development efforts are fully coordinated with and complement the Army program.

PROGRAM RECOMMENDED


The total recommended in the bill will provide the following program in fiscal year 2002.

This appropriation funds the Research, Development, Test and Evaluation activities of the Department of the Air Force.

USING `CODE NAMES' FOR UNCLASSIFIED ACTIVITIES


The Committee believes that, in its budget presentations to the Congress, the Air Force should avoid using nondescriptive code names for unclassified programs. The Committee finds that program names like Pacer Crag (avionics upgrade for KC-135 aircraft), Seek Eagle (munitions separation testing), Chicken Little (weapons effects testing), and Vanguard (Joint Surveillance Targeting and Reconnaissance aircraft upgrades) unnecessarily complicate Congressional review and oversight. A similar practice involves the Air Force's use of numeric codes when referring to Air Force appropriations in Congressional hearings, briefings, questions for the record, as well as meetings with Members of Congress. For example, Air Force representatives refer to the Aircraft Procurement, Air Force appropriation as `3100 funding,' a meaningless term to most Members of Congress. Unfortunately, as long as these terms are used extensively in internal Air Force deliberations, they will likely continue to creep into Air Force communications with Congress. The Committee encourages the Air Force to take reasonable steps to reduce such sources of confusion.

UNMANNED COMBAT AIR VEHICLE


The Air Force budget request for the Unmanned Combat Air Vehicle (UCAV) is currently distributed across a number of Air Force science and technology line-items. The Committee believes that UCAV technology represents an important new technology thrust. To elevate the visibility of the Air Force UCAV program activities, schedule, and budget, the Committee  has consolidated all UCAV funding into a new line-item. The Committee directs that future Air Force budgets be submitted using this new line-item.

WARFIGHTER RAPID ACQUISITION PROCESS


The Committee commends the Air Force on its well-conceived process for ensuring Congressional notification prior to initiation of new start WRAP initiatives.

SPACE BASED RADAR EMD


The Air Force requested $50,000,000 for the Space Based Radar (SBR) Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) program. The Committee recommends the full amount. Budget justification for SBR clearly indicates that the requested funds are not for EMD, but rather requirements development, risk reduction, and concept definition. The Committee does not approve the SBR program for EMD, and the Committee's funding recommendation should not be interpreted as such.

NEXT GENERATION TANKER


The Committee is growing increasingly concerned about the viability of the USAF tanker aircraft force. Tanker aircraft are extremely critical force multipliers for the spectrum of military operations. Currently, the tanker force structure includes 136 KC-135E model aircraft with an average age of 43 years. The Committee finds it alarming that the KC-135E aircraft spend an average of 428 days once admitted to depots for programmed maintenance. Manufacturers are discontinuing production of parts leading to a severely diminished supply of spare and replacement parts. Further, the KC-135E does not meet modern noise and navigation standards constraining their use in optimum global airspace and air bases.

Addressing this problem, the Committee recommendation includes an additional $30,000,000 to develop the necessary modifications to convert a commercial 767 aircraft to a new military tanker aircraft. The Committee has provided an additional $120,000,000 to procure a 767 aircraft to serve as a testbed for these efforts. The Air Force has indicated that a 767 tanker aircraft would offer increased offload capability (the amount of fuel that can be provided to other airborne aircraft), increased availability, increased reliability, and lower support costs. The aircraft could also provide personnel and cargo lift and serve as a potential host to sensors and data links. To help finance this initiative, the Committee has reduced $56,000,000 budgeted for two KC-135E reengine modifications.

NEXT GENERATION ISR RADAR SENSOR DEVELOPMENT


The Committee recommendation includes a number of initiatives to accelerate and enhance US military intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities. In particular, the Committee sees great promise in the Multi-Platform Radar Technology Improvement Program (MP-RTIP), which is developing a new radar to support future incarnations of JSTARS and Global Hawk as well as a potential NATO ground surveillance aircraft. In addition, the Committee is supportive of the Multi-Mission Command and Control Aircraft (MC2A) concept advocated by the Chief of Staff of the Air Force. Such an aircraft would combine the missions of multiple aircraft such as JSTARS and AWACS, and serve as an airborne network `server' for a large variety of battlefield information systems, initiatives fully consistent with US transformation to network centric warfare.

To facilitate these efforts, the Committee has provided an additional $89,000,000 to accelerate development of MP-RTIP. The Committee has also provided an additional $190,000,000 to procure a 767 testbed aircraft (with associated spares and support equipment) for the MP-RTIP JSTARS configuration and $50,000,000 to procure a C-37A testbed aircraft (with associated spares and support equipment) to support a smaller UAV configuration. Finally, the Committee has provided $25,000,000 for the MC2A program to jumpstart concept development for a future multi-mission aircraft. Given the potential complexity of such a multi-mission aircraft, the Committee believes that a spiral development approach is appropriate. The Committee views the 767 MP-RTIP JSTARS as the first `spiral' of the MC2A concept.

DISTRIBUTED COMMON GROUND SYSTEM (DCGS)


The Air Force requested $11,429,000 for the Distributed Common Ground System (DCGS). The Committee recommends $21,429,000, an increase of $10,000,000 over the request.

The Committee recommends $10,000,000 only for rapid development and deployment of ISR Battle Management and Network Centric Collaborative Targeting (NCCT). Within this amount, up to $4,000,000 is for ongoing modeling and exercise support activities that will assist the Air Force and Navy in modifying reconnaissance ground stations and targeting processes to engage time critical targets.

INFORMATION HIDING, STEGANOGRAPHY AND DIGITAL WATERMARKING


The Committee has provided a total of $8,000,000 for Information Hiding, Steganography and Digital Watermarking technologies to protect specialized encryption. The Committee directs the Air Force to work with the National Security Agency as it pursues this technology to ensure the most effective application to the twin dilemmas of protecting information and countering encryption.

LOWER COST PRECISION WEAPON GUIDANCE SYSTEMS


The Committee believes that all military services must put priority on research activities aimed at developing miniature electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) for use in precision weapon guidance systems. This research holds much promise for significantly reducing the unit cost of precision-guided weapons through development of low cost inertial measurement units. Given the substantial benefits to all military services, the Committee views it as crucial that the services coordinate their efforts to develop MEMS technology and related anti-jam software upgrades to accelerate systems development and to eliminate duplication of effort. The Committee believes the Army MEMS-IMU/GPS program is the most mature and robust of the various programs, and directs the Air Force to ensure that its MEMS guidance system development efforts are fully coordinated with and complement the Army program.

PROGRAM RECOMMENDED


The total program recommended in the bill will provide the following in fiscal year 2002:

TRANSFERS TO TITLE IX


Research, development, test and evaluation funding for the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization, the Defense Threat Reduction Agency,  and all funding for the chemical and biological defense programs requested under `Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Defense-Wide' has been moved to title IX.

ADVANCED CONCEPT TECHNOLOGY DEMONSTRATIONS


The bill repeats language included in the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2001 which prohibits the Department from beginning any advanced concepts technology demonstrations until 30 days after it has described those projects in a report to the congressional defense committees. In order to avoid delaying important projects, however, the Department may submit its list of technology demonstrations prior to the beginning of the new fiscal year.

ADVANCED LITHOGRAPHY DEMONSTRATION


The Committee recommends $5,000,000 only to use laser plasma point-source x-ray lithography to build high performance compound semiconductor processors and components for on-going technology demonstrations in advanced military radar, communications, and electronic warfare systems.

COMMERCIAL JOINT MAPPING TOOLKIT


The Administration requested $115,200,000 for the Defense Imagery and Mapping Program (DIMAP), the Committee recommends $144,409,000, an increase of $29,200,000 above the request.

Included in the $29,200,000 increase provided by the Committee is $15,000,000 for the development of a common, commercial technology-based joint mapping toolkit interface to enhance and customize intelligence, navigation, and mission planning functions. The Committee encourages NIMA to acquire the Commercial Joint Mapping Toolkit based upon fair and open competition and best value to the government.

CENTER FOR THE COMMERCIAL DEPLOYMENT OF TRANSPORTATION TECHNOLOGIES


Of the funds provided for Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Defense-Wide, $7,500,000 is available only for the Center for the Commercial Deployment of Transportation Technologies.

LASER PLASMA POINT SOURCE X-RAY LITHOGRAPHY


The Committee recommends $5,000,000 only to continue the development of laser plasma point source x-ray lithography technology for economic production of advanced missile seekers, digital battlefield systems, electronic warfare arrays and radar modules.

NATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION AND TRAINING CENTER


The Committee recommends $3,000,000 only to continue the research, development and demonstration program devoted to health and safety issues as they relate to the development and introduction of environmental remediation technologies and to the scrapping of obsolete U.S. Naval vessels in a manner properly protective of environmental cleanup and shipyard workers. The program shall continue to develop and evaluate protection and safety methods and techniques necessary for the safe conduct of ship scraping and the use and application of environmental remediation technology and to transfer them to field use.

ULTRA LIGHT WEIGHT PORTABLE POWER SOURCE


The Committee is aware of the development of an ultra light weight portable power source. These small prototype power devices weigh less than 100 grams per square meter and their flexible nature allows soldiers to carry them in rolled or folded shapes. Rapid deployment of the power source can be achieved by simply unfolding, unrolling or inflating the power material. By using an adhesive backing these power devices can be integrated into a soldier's apparel and could provide a portable power supply for night vision systems, satellite communications, and other soldier functions that require power. Accordingly, the Committee directs the Department to consider the desirability, utility, and cost-effectiveness of funding further research into these light weight portable power devices.

CENTER FOR NANOSCIENCES INNOVATION


The Committee recognizes that to realize the full potential of nanoscience and technology, major and fundamental scientific advances need to be made to isolate, detect, communicate and manipulate individual atoms and molecules. Such advances will lead to the ultimate level of performance in electronic, chemical, biological and material systems. Accordingly, the Committee has provided $10,000,000 to be executed by the Defense Microelectronics Agency for the establishment of a Center for Nanosciences Innovation to pursue defense applications.

SPIN ELECTRONICS PROGRAM


The Committee is aware that DARPA's spin electronics program has the potential to produce a whole new generation of electronic devices with performance far greater than what is achievable with conventional electronics today. The Committee is also aware that because spin electronics design and manufacturing are compatible with existing semiconductor infrastructures, it promises to reach maturation well ahead of other known nanoelectronics technology approaches. Accordingly, the Committee has transferred $15,000,000 from University Research Initiatives to Defense Research Sciences to augment existing planned spin electronics programs and to accelerate development of this important new generation of electronics technology.

NEXT GENERATION SUPERCOMPUTER CAPABILITY


The Committee is concerned that several critical national security technologies suffer from inadequate Department of Defense (DoD) high-end supercomputing resources. These technologies include cryptanalysis, operational weather forecasting, dispersion of airborne contaminants, armor design, design of large aircraft or ship structures, and studies of weapons effects.

Over the last decade, declining markets, inequitable trade practices, and limited DoD support, have severely weakened the United States industrial base for high-end supercomputing. Several reports conducted at the request of the DoD, have clearly identified a number of issues that counsel immediate attention and action to avoid an unacceptable prospect: offshore reliance for critical supercomputing capability vital to our national security.

The Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to submit by July 1, 2002, a development and acquisition plan, including budgetary requirements, for a comprehensive, long-range, integrated high-end supercomputing program. The Secretary shall direct the National Security Agency (NSA) to take the lead in developing this plan in cooperation with DARPA, DoD's HPC Modernization Program, NIMA, NRO, NNSA/ASCI, and NASA.

STRATEGY FOR ACQUISITION OF COMMERCIAL IMAGERY


The Committee requests that the Director of the National Imagery and Mapping Agency (NIMA) submit, by March 1, 2002, a plan describing how NIMA intends to use commercial imagery to meet validated non-high resolution imagery requests that have been generated by the Services, Commanders-in-Chief of the Unified and Specified Commands, and other DoD agencies.

UNEXPLODED ORDNANCE DETECTION AND CLEANUP


The Committee continues to be greatly concerned about the research effort into technologies which can better detect and remove unexploded ordnance. Recent reports by the General Accounting Office have estimated that cleanup costs of closed, transferred, and transferring training ranges and other formerly used defense sites could exceed $100 billion. In addition to the significant financial obligation this poses to the Department of Defense, unexploded ordnance on formerly used defense sites poses an even greater danger to the public at large. The budget request included $17,300,000 for Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Defense-Wide supporting unexploded ordnance detection and cleanup. The Committee has fully funded this request.

PROGRAM RECOMMENDED


The total recommended in the bill will provide the following program in fiscal year 2002.

Change from budget request         +378,434,000 


------------------------------------------------


This appropriation funds the Defense Health Program of the Department of Defense.

SPECIAL INTEREST ITEMS AND REPROGRAMMING


The Committee notes that the operation and maintenance portion of the Defense Health Program budget request is built around seven budget activities including: in-house care, private sector care, consolidated health support, information management, management activities, education and training, and base operations/communications. The Committee also notes with concern that the typical pattern of budget execution for the Defense Health Program has been to divert funding from the DoD military medical treatment facilities (MTFs) to pay for the increasing costs of contractor provided medical care. The impact of this financial migration has seriously degraded the ability of the DoD MTFs, which have inherent cost advantages, to care for military personnel and their dependents. The Committee also notes that the main reason for this migration, unrealistic budget assumptions, has been addressed in the fiscal year 2002 budget request which allows for realistic cost growth for contractor provided care and pharmaceuticals.

To improve oversight of this account, the Committee directs that the cumulative value of proposed transfers of funds in excess of $15,000,000 between the activity groups noted above be subject to normal, prior approval reprogramming procedures. In addition, items for which funds have been specifically provided using phrases `only for' and `only to' are Congressional interest items for the purpose of the base for Reprogramming (DD Form 1414). Each of these items must be carried on the DD 1414 at the stated amount.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


MILITARY MEDICAL TREATMENT FACILITY OPTIMIZATION


`The Committee bill provides $90,000,000 above the budget request only to continue the initiative begun by the Committee in the Fiscal Year 2001 Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act (Public Law 107-20) to finance service and facility upgrades at military medical treatment facilities that can be shown to both save money and improve medical care. Of these funds, $30,000,000 shall be available to each military Surgeon General for this purpose. The Committee expects the Surgeons General of each service to select and administer these optimization projects according to the standards and guidelines specified in the House report accompanying the Fiscal Year 2001 Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act.

ASSESSMENT OF DOD AND VA HEALTH CARE SYSTEMS


Section 8140 of the Committee bill appropriates $5,000,000 to support a joint assessment by the Secretaries of Defense and Veterans Affairs that identifies and evaluates changes to Department of Defense and Department of Veterans Affairs health care delivery policies, methods, practices and procedures in order to provide improved health care services at lower costs to the taxpayers. This assessment shall include a detailed independent review of options to collocate or share facilities and care providers in areas where duplication and excess capacity may exist, optimize economies of scale through joint procurement of supplies and services, and partially or fully integrate DoD and VA systems providing telehealth services, computerized patient records, provider credentialing, surgical quality assessment, rehabilitation services, administrative services, and centers of excellence for specialized health care services. The general provision requires that the statement of work for this effort be authored jointly by each secretary and that a comprehensive report to Congress be made on the conclusions and recommendations of this effort no later than March 1, 2002.

NURSING PAY AUTHORITY


The Committee recognizes that the Department of Defense faces both a  serious shortage of civilian registered nurses as well as a high  rate of turnover among these critical personnel. Further, the Committee is aware that DoD often defaults into a costly solution to this problem by hiring contractor nurses. The lack of an adequate nursing staff reduces both the responsiveness and effectiveness of the DoD military medical treatment facilities. To address these problems, the Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to delegate title 38 U.S.C. pay and promotion authorities to the Surgeons General of the Army, Navy and Air Force to enable the military departments to fill nursing vacancies and retain required strength. In addition, the Committee recommends a new general provision (Sec. 8148) which extends title 38 U.S.C. authorities to the hiring of personnel credentialed in certain medical or medical related skills, but who do not otherwise have tenure in competitive civil service.

PRE-DISCHARGE ONE EXAM INITIATIVE


The Committee is aware of software that allows one examining physician to generate required service member discharge forms to meet both Department of Defense and Department of Veterans Affairs' requirements. The Committee encourages the Department to examine such innovative ways to reduce the requirement for departing service members to take two separate discharge medical physicals.

MACDILL AIR FORCE BASE TRANSITION


The Committee is aware of the outstanding success of MacDill 65, a demonstration program to deliver medical care to military retirees age 65 and older. The Committee directs the Department of Defense to ensure the smooth transition of the participants from the MacDill 65 program into TRICARE for Life. This transition should ensure no loss of coverage during this transition period. Furthermore, the Committee expects the Department of Defense to communicate fully with program participants so that they understand how to register, and the new benefits available to them under the TRICARE for Life program.

CREDENTIALING


As a result of questions raised in recent press accounts about the quality of military healthcare, together with the findings in the subsequent report of the DoD Healthcare Quality Initiatives Review Panel, the Committee believes that action must be taken to improve oversight of the military healthcare system. Therefore, the Committee directs that $2,000,000 of the funds available under this heading be available only for a pilot study to evaluate the merits of integrating the Department of Defense Centralized Credentials Quality Assurance System (CCQAS) with the Veterans Administration Professional Review Program (VETPRO) credentials system.

HEALTH CARE CENTERS OF EXCELLENCE


The Report of the DoD Healthcare Quality Initiatives Review Panel concludes that the Department of Defense should aggressively pursue a program to designate Centers of Excellence in order to improve the quality of medical care for individuals requiring specialized, complex treatments. The Committee directs that $2,000,000 of the funds available under this heading be used only to design, test and evaluate models for expanding health care Centers of Excellence.

NORTH CHICAGO VETERANS ADMINISTRATION MEDICAL CENTER AND NAVAL HOSPITAL


The Committee applauds the current resource sharing agreement between the North Chicago VA Medical Center (NCVAMC) and the Naval Hospital, Great Lakes, Illinois (NHGL). These two institutions are within one mile of each other and offer significant opportunities to share additional services and facilities. The Navy is engaged in conducting an economic analysis of the requirement for a modern facility to replace the aging NHGL. The Veterans Administration has an underused inpatient facility at the NCVAMC. The Secretary of the Navy and the Secretary of the Veterans Administration are directed to develop a plan to make the maximum use of the NCVAMC during the interim period until the Navy constructs a facility to replace the NHGL. The Secretary of the Navy shall consult with the Secretary of Veterans Affairs when designing the replacement facility. The Committee expects the replacement facility to be designed and operated as a joint facility serving the health care needs of the Navy and Veterans Affairs populations in the North Chicago area.

CERVICAL CANCER RESEARCH PROGRAM


The Committee notes that the report accompanying the House version of the fiscal year 1995 Department of Defense Appropriations bill (House Report 103-562) and the report accompanying the House version of the fiscal year 2001 Department of Defense Appropriations bill (House Report 106-644) both provided clear direction to the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Health Affairs) to established a systematic program, in coordination with the National Cancer Institute, to foster the early detection and prevention of cervical cancer including research into a vaccine for the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) found in 50 percent of cervical cancers. Given the accomplishments of the Department of Defense in its medical research and development efforts, the Committee strongly urges DoD to move forward in fiscal year 2002 with its efforts to implement past congressional directives. The Assistant Secretary of Defense (Health Affairs) shall report to the House Committee on Appropriations not later than March 31, 2002 detailing the progress made in establishing this research program.

OVARIAN CANCER


The Committee believes that increased emphasis on ovarian cancer research is urgently needed as 13,900 women die from this disease annually. The disease is curable if detected early, unfortunately little is known about the disease and only 25 percent of cases are diagnosed in the early stages. Recognizing the superior nature of the grants that have been funded by the Defense Health Program, the Committee strongly urges DoD to use the additional $12,000,000 provided for this program to continue the DoD Ovarian Cancer Research Program under the auspices of the Peer Reviewed Medical Research Program. The Committee believes that this program should operate in coordination with the National Cancer Institute's Specialized Programs of Research Excellence in ovarian cancer.

INTERNATIONAL MEDICAL PROGRAM GLOBAL SATELLITE SYSTEM


The committee recommends $4,000,000 in the Defense Security Cooperation Agency to prove the International Medical Program Global Satellite System (IMPGSS) integrated development and delivery concept in at least two countries. The Committee further recommends that the Telemedicine and Advanced Technology Research Center at Fort Detrick, Maryland manage the program.

DOD MENTAL HEALTH PROGRAMS


The Committee strongly encourages the Department of Defense to consult with the National Institute of Mental Health and the Department of Veterans Affairs to take concrete steps to strengthen its mental health programs. Such efforts should include a program that would collect epidemiological data on new onset psychosis in the military, including the creation of a system to link DoD and VA data. This effort should also seek to determine predictors of vulnerability to psychosis given the stress of basic training. This effort should seek to create a linkage (termed critical intervention) that would prevent patients from `falling between the cracks' in between discharge from DoD and entry into the VA. To accomplish this objective, DoD should adopt case management psychology-education oriented intervention to ensure continuity of treatment, reduce duration of untreated psychosis, and reduce the proportion of these people who have a second episode. This effort should also determine the possibility of assessing the impact of the intervention and reduction in duration of untreated psychosis on the medium to long-term illness outcome.

GOVERNMENT COMPUTER BASED PATIENT RECORDS


The Committee is disappointed in the inability of the Department of Defense to work with the Department of Veterans Affairs in developing information technology that would be used to transfer and share medical records of military health beneficiaries, as detailed in a recent, critical report by the General Accounting Office. The Committee has increased funding for the Government Computer-based Patient Record program for the last two years because it believes the sharing of medical data between DoD and VA will improve patient care and reduce administrative expense.  Unfortunately, the Department of Defense has consistently failed to follow congressional directives and to adequately support this promising new technology. The Committee has once again added funds to the budget for GCPR, and expects the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs to actively manage the program. The Committee expects the additional funds to be utilized by the Department of Defense in a manner that carries out stated congressional intent, and not diverted into efforts tangential to the primary goal of the GCPR program of sharing medical data among DoD, VA, and their respective commercial contractors.

SINGLE NATIONAL PHARMACY MANAGER


The Committee is aware that the Department of Defense is in the preliminary stages of seeking a single national contractor for pharmacy benefits to provide retail and mail order pharmacy services for the 8.5 million beneficiaries enrolled in the DoD health care programs. While the Committee strongly supports and encourages the Department of Defense to improve the efficiency of services for its beneficiaries, the Committee is also concerned that this measure could have a negative impact on the overall level of competition in the pharmacy industry. Accordingly, the Committee directs that the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Health Affairs) provide a report to the House Committee on Appropriations 60 days prior to a solicitation of bids for a single national pharmacy benefits manager which presents the business case for this approach, the estimated effect that this program will have on the competitive environment in the pharmacy industry, and the effect that this proposal will have on mid- and small-sized pharmacies.

DOD NON-TRADITIONAL ACTIVITIES ASSESSMENT


The Committee is aware that the Department of Defense is considering a significant change in its approach to Drug Interdiction and Counter-drug missions in conjunction with its assessment of `non-traditional' activities. The Committee has been strongly supportive of the contributions the Department has made to the national and international effort to curtail the production, transportation, and use of illegal drugs and is aware that many of the Department's missions could not be conducted by any other Agency. The Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to submit a report to the congressional defense committees advising them of any plans to alter its current counter-drug and drug interdiction programs 30 days in advance of any reorganization initiative in the area proposed to be implemented during the fiscal year 2002.

TETHERED AEROSTAT RADAR SYSTEMS


The budget request included $42,941,000 for Tethered Aerostat Radar Systems. The Committee recommends $33,641,000, a reduction of $12,400,000 in this account and an addition of $3,000,000 provided to the Air Force in Section 8136 of the General Provisions. The Committee is concerned that the reporting requirement and the obligation restrictions in House Report 106-644 have not been followed and that the Administration has yet to determine the management responsibility and corresponding funding allocations for these important systems. The Committee has deferred fiscal year 2002 procurement funding for the Aerostat modernization program except for the purchase of replacement Aerostats until such a determination has been made. The Committee directs that the Secretary of the Air Force reestablish the Morgan City, Louisiana Aerostat site using the funding provided in Section 8136.

OFFICE OF THE INSPECTOR GENERAL








The Committee recommends an appropriation of $152,021,000 for the Office of the Inspector General, the amount proposed in the budget. The recommendation is an increase of $4,476,000 above the amount appropriated for fiscal year 2001.

TITLE VII


RELATED AGENCIES


NATIONAL FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE PROGRAM


INTRODUCTION


The National Foreign Intelligence Program consists of those intelligence activities of the government, which provide the President, other officers of the Executive Branch, and the Congress with national foreign intelligence on broad strategic concerns bearing on U.S. national security. These concerns are stated by the National Security Council in the form of long-range and short-range requirements for the principal users of intelligence.

The National Foreign Intelligence Program budget funded in the Department of Defense Appropriations Act consists primarily of resources for the Central Intelligence Agency, Defense Intelligence Agency, National Reconnaissance Office, National Security Agency, National Imagery and Mapping Agency, intelligence services of the Departments of the Army, Navy and Air Force, Intelligence Community Management Staff, and the CIA Retirement and Disability System Fund.

CLASSIFIED ANNEX


Because of the highly sensitive nature of intelligence programs, the results of the Committee's budget review are published in a separate, detailed and comprehensive classified annex. The intelligence community, Department of Defense and other organizations are expected to fully comply with the recommendations and directions in the classified annex accompanying the fiscal year 2002 Defense Appropriations bill.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS


The Committee recommends $8,000,000 for the National Security Education Trust Fund. The recommendation is the same as the request and $1,050,000 more than the amount appropriated in fiscal year 2001.

TITLE VIII


GENERAL PROVISIONS


Title VIII of the accompanying bill includes 155 general provisions. Most of these provisions were included in the Department of Defense Appropriations Act for fiscal year 2001 and many have been included in the Defense Appropriations Act for a number of years.

Actions taken by the Committee to amend last year's provisions or new provisions recommended by the Committee are discussed below or in the applicable section of the report.

DEFINITION OF PROGRAM, PROJECT AND ACTIVITY


For purposes of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 (Public Law 99-177) as amended by the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Reaffirmation Act of 1987 (Public Law 100-119) and by the Budget Enforcement Act of 1990 (Public Law 101-508, the following information provides the definitions of the term `program, project, and activity' for appropriations contained in the Department of Defense Appropriations Act. The term `program, project, and activity' shall include the most specific level of budget items, identified in the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2002, the accompanying House and Senate Committee reports, the conference report and the accompanying joint explanatory statement of the managers of the Committee in Conference, the related classified reports, and the P-1 and R-1 budget justification documents as subsequently modified by Congressional action.

In carrying out any Presidential sequestration, the Department of Defense and agencies shall conform to the definition for `program, project, and activity' set forth above with the following exceptions:

For Military Personnel and Operation and Maintenance accounts the term `program, project, and activity' is defined as the appropriations accounts contained in the Department of Defense Appropriations Act.

The Department and agencies should carry forth the Presidential sequestration order in a manner that would not adversely affect or alter Congressional policies and priorities established for the Department of Defense and the related agencies and no program, project, and activity should be eliminated or be reduced to a level of funding which would adversely affect the Department's ability to effectively continue any program, project and activity.

PENTAGON RESERVATION EMERGENCY RESPONSE ENHANCEMENTS


A new General Provision (Sec. 8147) has been included which provides $10,000,000 to support facility improvements and equipment purchases to augment the capabilities of local government emergency response units responsible for the protection of the Pentagon Reservation and surrounding military and federal facilities. The Committee wishes to commend the tireless and skillful efforts exhibited by all federal, state and local personnel who responded to the unprecedented attack on the Pentagon on September 11, 2001. This incident highlighted certain areas identified by emergency responders where capabilities should be upgraded to further strengthen their ability to respond to any future attack or disaster. The Committee expects these funds to support equipment purchases for bomb disposal and chemical containment, personal chem/bio protection, emergency communications, emergency power systems, medical equipment, and high priority security systems. These funds are also available to provide the federal share for facility improvements as determined by the Secretary of Defense.

WAGE CREDITS


The budget submission proposed amending language carried in the Military Personnel appropriations paragraphs, as well as a new general provision (section 8125 of the Committee bill), in order to end payments of Social Security wage credits by the Department of Defense. The past two Administrations have maintained that actuarial data regarding military retirees make it feasible to end DoD's payment of these service wage credits.

The Committee notes that legislation similar to that proposed in the budget was taken up and approved by the Committee on Ways and Means last year (H.R. 4857). The Committee also notes, and restates, the direction of the Committee on Ways and Means regarding reconciliation of any amounts due the Social Security and Hospital Insurance trust funds by the Department of Defense. The Secretary of Defense is directed to report to the Congress on this issue not later than 90 days following enactment of the fiscal year 2002 Defense Appropriations Act. The report shall include the Administration's position on the issue of reconciling payments, if needed; and its intention to comply with this direction, to include proposing an amended budget submission, request for supplemental appropriations, or funding as needed in the fiscal year 2003 Defense Appropriations budget submission.

TITLE IX


COUNTER-TERRORISM AND DEFENSE AGAINST WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION


The Committee bill establishes a new appropriations title--Title IX, Counter-Terrorism and Defense Against Weapons of Mass Destruction. In this title the Committee recommends appropriations of $11,719,889.000, an increase of $1,309,325,000 over the budget request for similar programs, and consolidates these funds into six new appropriations accounts, as described below.

In his foreword to the recently released Quadrennial Defense Review, the Secretary of Defense described this as `a crucial time of transition to a new era.' A new era--marked by the reality of new threats such as terrorism; weapons of mass destruction (nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons) and ballistic missiles; information operations (computer network exploitation and attack); and other unconventional and so-called `asymmetric' threats to the United States.

The Committee has expressed similar concerns over the last several years and is gratified that the Department now appears prepared to make a sustained and major commitment to address these new threats. The test will come over the next several years to see if the Department will actually shift the required resources to counter these threats in a way that does not shortchange other necessary conventional capabilities that will still be required in the 21st Century.

The Committee has therefore consolidated the funding of the major Defense-wide programs specifically designed to meet these new threats into a new Title IX to give them the visibility and attention they require, and to aid in the future tracking of resources for these activities. Programs and activities included in this title are those which are centrally managed under the Office of the Secretary of Defense or other Defense-Wide activities. This includes all funding for the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization; the Cooperative Threat Reduction Program (Former Soviet Union Threat Reduction); all Defense-Wide procurement and research funding for defense against chemical and biological weapons; and all funding for the Defense Threat Reduction Agency.

In addition, the Committee also proposes adding $1,670,000,000 over the budget request for a new appropriations account--the Counter-Terrorism and Operational Response Transfer Fund. Through this initiative, the Committee has created a rapid response capability for the Secretary of Defense and the Director of Central Intelligence to accelerate and augment efforts against terrorism, weapons of mass destruction, the chemical and biological threat, and so-called `cyber-war' capabilities (information operations and critical infrastructure attacks).

In keeping with the Administration's stated emphasis on countering these 21st century threats, the Committee believes that its proposal to consolidate funding to meet these challenges in Title IX can only buttress the growing need for, and importance of, these programs in U.S. defense planning, policy, and budgeting. The Committee also expects this to bring a greater focus to the Department's efforts to deal with these threats; simplify program management and budgeting; and empower the senior leadership of the Department of Defense and the Congress to more closely scrutinize these important programs. The Committee directs that all future budget proposals and supporting exhibits be submitted to Congress in this new format.

PROGRAM RECOMMENDED


The total amount recommended in the bill will provide the following in the fiscal year 2002:

CHEMICAL AND BIOLOGICAL DEFENSE PROGRAMS


The President's budget requested $996,440,000 for chemical and biological defense programs in Procurement, Defense-Wide and Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Defense-Wide. The Committee recommends $1,539,940,000, in two accounts in title IX (Counter-Terrorism and Operational Response Transfer Fund and Defense against Chemical and Biological Weapons, Defense-Wide.) This is an increase of $543,500,000 over the budget request.

Although the Department of Defense's Chemical and Biological Defense Program is focused primarily on defending US troops in a theater conflict, recent events have made abundantly clear that the difference between `national' and `theater' defense is as irrelevant in chemical and biolgical warfare as it is in missile defense. The Committee therefore recommends a series of increases over the budget request, in recognition of the fact that the research, equipment and training conducted by DoD is as important to the protection of American citizens as it is for the protection of our troops and our worldwide interests.

The Committee notes that proposed funding will directly address the threat posed by the use of anthrax against civilian targets. In addition, the Committee recognizes this is just one of the many threats we may face over the next few years and thus has funded programs that are intended to address the broad spectrum of chemical and biological threats that an adversary may choose to use in the future (such as smallpox, sarin, plague, or ebola).

Of the additional funds provided over the budget request, $213,500,000 is for additional research to find vaccines, antidotes and antibiotics to treat a broad spectrum of threats, as well as funding for the next generation of detectors and protective equipment. The largest increase is to accelerate promising research into finding post-exposure treatment for diseases for which there is currently no known cure. Another $85,000,000 over the budget request is provided to immediately increase the Department's stockpile of vaccines, antidotes and antibiotics required to respond to a chemical or biological attack.

The Committee also includes $145,000,000 over the budget request for additional chemical and biological training for our troops, for domestic response exercises involving both military and civilian authorities, and to provide additional training to DoD medical personnel to assist them in the rapid diagnosis and treatment of the full range of potential biological and chemical threats. Additionally, the Committee provides increases over the budget request totaling $100,000,000 for chemical and biological defense equipment, such as masks, protective shelters, detectors and decontamination equipment to ensure that our military is adequately equipped to meet the growing challenge. With any biological attack the key to saving lives is discovering the event as quickly as possible. With this distinction in mind, the Committee has provided increased funding for biological pathogen detectors, both fixed and mobile, to provide the early warning that is critical to effective mitigation and treatment.

SPECIAL INTEREST ITEMS


Items for which additional funds have been provided as shown in the project level tables or in paragraphs using the phrases `only for' or `only to' in this report are congressional interest items for the purpose of the Base for Reprogramming (DD Form 1414). Each of these items must be carried on the DD Form 1414 at the stated amount, or a revised amount if changed during conference or if otherwise specifically addressed in the conference report. These items remain special interest items whether or not they are repeated in a subsequent conference report.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION


The Committee proposes additions to the budget request totaling $1,670,000,000 for a new appropriations account--the Counter-Terrorism and Operational Response Transfer Fund.

With the onset of Operations NOBLE EAGLE and ENDURING FREEDOM--and the persistence of real and credible threats to Americans and our national interests, both at home and abroad--the Committee believes it is imperative to rapidly accelerate efforts on the part of the Intelligence Community and the Department of Defense in the war against terrorism and other 21st century threats. Accordingly, the Committee proposes $1,670,000,000 over the amounts requested in the budget, in this new appropriations account.

Citing the bill language proposed by the Committee, these funds are provided:

`For urgent enhancements to intelligence and military capabilities in order to prosecute Operation ENDURING FREEDOM; to discover, infiltrate, and deter terrorist groups; to protect against terrorist attacks that might employ either conventional means or weapons of mass destruction, and to prepare against the consequences of such attacks; to deny unauthorized users the opportunity to modify, steal, inappropriately disclose, or destroy sensitive military intelligence data or networks, and to accelerate improvements in information networks and operations.'

The Committee bill expressly provides that of the amounts provided in this new appropriation, $451,000,000 is made available to the Director of Central Intelligence for classified programs funded under the National Foreign Intelligence Program. The Committee bill also provides for the transfer of $10,000,000 to the Department of Justice, only for enhanced terrorism-related financial and money laundering investigative operations to be carried out by the National Drug Intelligence Center. The Committee notes that, in providing this additional funding for the National Foreign Intelligence Program, it is providing the resources needed to implement many of the new recommendations approved in the House-passed Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2002 (H.R. 2883).

Similarly, $1,219,000,000 is made available to the Secretary of Defense for a variety of high priority initiatives, including classified programs. From within this amount, $474,000,000 is for the acceleration of critically needed response, training, procurement, and research programs for defense against chemical and biological agents. Another $275,000,000 of DoD funds are designated specifically for so-called `cyber-war' enhancements--to strengthen Defense and intelligence community efforts in the areas of computer system and information network operations, by funding for information assurance, information operations, and critical infrastructure protection programs. (Details regarding these programs are cited later in this section.)

Details regarding other programs funded under this appropriation are addressed in the classified annex to this report.

The bill language proposed by the Committee will enable the Director of Central Intelligence and the Secretary of Defense to flexibly manage these funds from a central transfer account, similar to the Overseas Contingency Operations Transfer Fund. The Committee also directs that within 90 days of enactment, the Secretary of Defense and the Director of Central Intelligence shall each provide to the Congress a classified report specifying the projects and accounts to which funds provided in this Act are to be transferred.

The table below shows details regarding the additional $474,000,000 provided for Department of Defense chemical and biological response, training, procurement and research programs.

This appropriation funds the Former Soviet Union Threat Reduction activities of the Department of Defense.

The President's budget requested $403,000,000 for this activity in title II, Operation and Maintenance, a decrease of $40,400,000 from last year. The Committee has moved this program to title IX and recommends fully funding the President's request.

BALLISTIC MISSILE DEFENSE


The President's budget requested $8,289,278,000 for programs managed by the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization in fiscal year 2002, an increase of $3,102,122,000 over the amount provided in fiscal year 2001. This request was divided among several accounts including Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Defense-Wide; Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Army; Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Navy; Missile Procurement, Army and Weapons Procurement, Navy.

To reflect the importance of the ballistic missile defense programs, the Committee has consolidated the request into two new appropriation accounts: Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Ballistic Missile Defense Organization and Procurement, Ballistic Missile Defense Organization.

For all Ballistic Missile Defense Organization activities, funded in these two new accounts, the Committee recommends $7,848,278,000, an increase of $2,661,122,000 over the fiscal year 2001 level, and a net decrease of $441,000,000 from the budget request.

The Committee also recommends rescinding from funds appropriated in fiscal year 2001 $73,800,000 for long lead items for a ground-based radar, which are no longer required under the Administration's proposal.

PROPOSED TRANSFER OF NAVY AREA, MEADS AND PAC-3


The President's budget proposed transferring the Navy Area, Medium Extended Air Defense System (MEADS) and PATRIOT (PAC-3) ballistic missile defense programs to the Navy and Army respectively. The Committee is concerned that these programs would be transferred to their respective Services with significant near-term funding shortfalls that the Services would have to somehow address. In addition, neither MEADS nor Navy Area is a mature program. MEADS has just begun its risk reduction effort and the Navy area program is experiencing significant schedule delays and cost overrun problems. While the Committee supports the Department's objective of eventually migrating mature programs from the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization to the Services for programming and budgeting, it does not support transferring these programs this year. The Committee agrees with the House Armed Services Committee direction that the Department should develop a set of criteria to use to determine when a program is ready to transfer to the Services.

PATRIOT ADVANCED CAPABILITY--3 (PAC-3)


The President's budget proposed $676,574,000 in Missile Procurement, Army for 72 PAC-3 missiles. The PAC-3 is designed to defeat short and medium range ballistic missiles, the type of missiles that potential adversaries have already deployed in large numbers. The PAC-3's hit to kill technology makes it particularly suitable for destroying missiles carrying weapons of mass destruction, which will be vital to protecting the ports and airfields essential to the Nation's force projection strategy. It is also effective against cruise missiles, fixed wing aircraft and helicopters. During developmental testing the PAC-3 proved very effective, destroying its target nine times in ten attempts. It is also the only `next-generation' ballistic missile defense program ready for production and, equally important, it may be the only system ready for production for several years.

Therefore, the Committee recommends $787,574,000 in Procurement, Ballistic Missile Defense Organization, an increase of $110,000,000. Of this amount $95,000,000 is only to purchase additional missiles in fiscal year 2002 and to increase the production capability to 30 missiles per month. In addition, $15,000,000 is to purchase critical components for future PAC-3 missiles where the long-term availability of that component is in doubt. Complementing this acceleration in PAC-3 procurement, the Committee has also recommended an increase of $44,000,000 in PAC-3 research and development funding, discussed elsewhere in this report.

GROUND BASED MIDCOURSE DEFENSE SEGMENT


The most significant shift in the President's budget has been in the Ground Based Midcourse Defense Segment (formerly known as National Missile Defense).  The plan under the previous administration was to begin construction this year of a radar in Shemya, Alaska and silos to hold 20 interceptors (to be expanded later to 100 silos) as soon as the program had two successful intercepts. This was a high-risk endeavor because it depended on fielding a missile that was only in its earliest stage of testing.  In addition, the realism of the testing program was questioned in both the Coyle and Welch Panel studies.  The proposal in this year's budget properly shifts the focus from fielding to testing and the proposed funding increases directly address the problems identified in those reports.

The President's budget requested $3,230,725,000 for the Ground Based Midcourse Defense Segment (an increase of $1,377,198,000 over last year's funding level), of which $786,485,000 is for the construction of a Pacific Test Bed.  While current tests only include launching from Vandenberg AFB and intercepting from Kwajalein, the new test bed would provide multiple launch and intercept sites and would permit multiple simultaneous engagements, longer range intercepts and more realistic engagement geometries.  The Committee fully supports the President's budget request for this program and provides $3,230,725,000 for the Ground Based Midcourse Defense Segment, fully funding the system and  test bed.

THEATER HIGH ALTITUDE AREA DEFENSE


The President's budget proposed $922,481,000 for the Theater High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) program.  The Committee recommends $744,481,000, which is a decrease of $178,000,000 from the President's request and an increase of $203,483,000 from fiscal year 2001. This program has only recently reestablished itself after a series of delays and test failures caused primarily by poor quality control and a rush to accelerate the program.  The Committee believes that the original schedule the Department built in response to those lessons was a prudent approach for this program.  Undue acceleration of this program  runs the risk of returning to what the previous Secretary of Defense referred to as a `rush to failure'.  The budget also proposes buying 10 missiles, whose design has not been tested, to be available for additional testing or as a contingency capability.  While the Committee supports robust testing, the Committee believes that a commitment this year to a THAAD `contingency capability' is premature. Meanwhile,  the same amount of money would acquire many more proven PAC-3 missiles. The Committee therefore defers providing  the $210,000,000 for a THAAD  contingency capability, but provides $32,000,000 over the budgeted amounts for four additional THAAD missiles to be available to support additional testing. As discussed earlier in this report, the Committee has provided an increase of $155,000,000 to accelerate fielding of the more mature PAC-3 theater defense system.

NAVY THEATER WIDE


The President's budget proposed $596,000,000 for the Navy Theater Wide program.  The Committee recommends $500,000,000, which is a decrease of $96,000,000 from the President's request and an increase of $43,628,000 from fiscal year 2001.  The Navy Theater Wide program is scheduled to begin intercept testing in 2002.  The Department has not decided whether to continue this program beyond testing or to pursue one of several alternative missile designs instead.  Therefore, the Committee believes it is inappropriate to buy five contingency missiles before the missile has been tested and before the Department has committed to this solution.

ARROW


The President's budget originally proposed $45,699,000 for the ARROW program but revised its recommendation to $65,699,000 after the budget was submitted.  The Committee recommends $65,699,000, and increase of $20,000,000 over the budget submission, to accommodate the revised request.

NAVY AREA


The President's budget proposed $388,496,000 for the Navy Area program.  The Committee supports the President's request which is an increase of $118,944,000 over fiscal year 2001.

SPACE BASED LASER


The President's budget requested $170,000,000 for the Space Based Laser. The Committee recommends $50,000,000, a reduction of $120,000,000 similar to reductions in the House passed National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2002.

SBIRS LOW


The Ballistic Missile Defense Organization requested $385,000,000 for the Space Based Infrared System (SBIRS) Low satellite program. The Committee denies this request.

SBIRS Low, as currently envisioned, will consist of approximately 30 satellites cross-linked and cross-cued to provide fuzed sensor support for ballistic missile defense. The program represents an enormous technical challenge and is, according to one DoD official, the highest risk satellite program in DoD. This risk is compounded by a desire to field the full constellation as soon as possible to support ambitious missile defense fielding goals.

The Committee is concerned by markedly negative trends in cost, schedule, and performance estimates for the final SBIRS Low configuration. For example, in just this past year, the government estimate for the amount of software needed to support the program has grown from 900 thousand lines of code to over 3 million. In addition, projections of spacecraft weight have gone `through the roof' (actual numbers are contract sensitive). Finally, in just one year, the total program life cycle cost estimate has grown from $10 billion (estimated last year) to over $23 billion (current estimate). The Committee is concerned that given the immaturity of the SBIRS Low concept, this most recent cost estimate does not capture the full breadth of risks to be faced by the program. The true program cost could be significantly higher.

Last year, officials within DoD recognized the potential problems in the program and directed the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization to conduct a study on the cost effectiveness of SBIRS Low compared to a series of ground and sea based alternatives. Though the study was due last March and preliminary findings were briefed throughout DoD this summer, the study has not yet been officially released. The Committee understands that the study  indicates that ground based radars not only provide a viable alternative to a space based system, but also provide this capability at significantly lower cost and risk. In addition, the prospect of building more ground based radars provide a graceful expansion of capability, if needed, based on changes in the threat or an evolving US strategy. Reliance on SBIRS Low, on the other hand, requires deployment of the full 30 satellite constellation, with all the risks and upfront investment this entails, regardless of threat or strategy. Finally, the Committee is concerned with the effectiveness of SBIRS Low with respect to target discrimination, a key sensor requrement for missile defense.

The Committee believes that current plans for SBIRS Low represent a potential `rush to failure' which could take the country down a path of maximum cost and risk with marginal payoff relative to ground based alternatives. A premature reliance on such a high risk approach puts our missile defense plans at risk. The Committee believes a more prudent missile defense sensor strategy is to place near- and mid-term emphasis on ground based radars. Because of high cost and low technical maturity, a space based system appears to be more appropriate as a far-term option.

Consequently, the Committee recommends taking SBIRS Low off an acquisition track, and returning these efforts to a sustained and deliberate technology development track. The Committee denies funding for SBIRS Low, and instead provides $250,000,000 in a new line item entitled `Satellite Sensor Technology', only to reduce risk and mature technologies for future space sensor applications for missile defense. In addition, the Committee recommendation provides $75,000,000 in a new line-item entitled, `Ground Sensor Technology', only for algorithm development and radar risk reduction. Given the limited resources available for large space constellations, the Committee further recommends that the Department consider making a long term choice between a space based infrared system and a space based radar. Both represent enormous national investments, and it is highly questionable whether DoD can afford both systems.

PROGRAM STRUCTURE AND SYSTEM ACQUISITION


The President's budget proposes moving all ballistic missile defense programs into Research, Development, Test and Evaluation Defense-Wide, grouping them primarily into 5 large program elements and eventually buying and fielding these systems using RDT&E; appropriations. The Department's intent is to be able to explore new technologies without an official requirements document and without committing to buy a specific number of systems, as would be required with a major defense acquisition program. This approach is currently used by the Department for technology demonstrations where prototypes are developed in limited quantity as a proof of concept. However, to acquire entire systems under RDT&E; would violate fiscal policy, undermine basic program management principles and ignore the distinction between appropriations. Therefore, the Committee retains the Department's proposed structure for those technologies that have not yet demonstrated a suitable prototype. However, the Committee directs that funding for a program's EMD activities, and beyond, be budgeted in a separate program element; the program be designated a major defense acquisition program and be subject to the requirements of Milestone II and III or their equivalents. As the law requires, the actual acquisition of the hardware would be done with procurement funding. Consistent with this guidance the Committee has moved the Theater High Altitude Area Defense program into its own program element.

SPECIAL INTEREST PROJECTS


Within each program element, the Committee has identified several special interest projects for purposes of reprogrammings and budget justification material. They are as follows:

 Terminal Defense Segment: MEADS and ARROW;

 Midcourse Defense Segment: Ground-based Midcourse, Pacific Test Bed and Navy Theater Wide;

 Boost Defense Segment: Sea-based Boost, Airborne Laser, Space Based Laser and Space Based Interceptor;

 Sensors Segment: Satellite Sensor Technology, Ground based Sensors and RAMOS.

The Committee directs that funding for each of these special interest projects be identified separately and used as the basis for any reprogramming and in the presentation of the budget justification books.

The Committee directs the Cost Analysis Improvement Group and the Director, Operational Test and Evaluation to continue to report on these programs.

REPROGRAMMINGS


The President's budget proposes grouping the major missile defense systems into five large program elements, in part to provide more flexibility in the movement of funding between programs. This structure has the awkward effect of permitting an unlimited movement of funds between programs, but only in very limited circumstances and combinations. For example, under the President's budget proposal a cost overrun in the Theater High Altitude Area Defense program could be covered quickly, without notifying Congress or requesting a reprogramming, but only if the funding was taken from the ARROW program. Instead of this approach, the Committee recommend a distinct set of reprogramming guidelines for `Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Ballistic Missile Defense Organization' that provides a greater level of flexibility than for other RDT&E; accounts, but without the artificial constraints imbedded in the budget proposal. The Committee directs that the Director, Ballistic Missile Defense Organization may, during the course of fiscal year 2002, transfer up to $10,000,000 between any program elements or special interest projects. Any realignment of funds beyond that level requires a prior approval reprogramming. All other financial management rules, such as those regarding new starts and congressional interest items still apply. The Committee directs the Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller) to amend the Financial Management Regulations accordingly and to report back to the Committee when this has been done.

BMDO BUDGET JUSTIFICATION MATERIAL


The Committee is concerned about the level of information provided in this year's budget justification material. In addition to the material currently provided, the Committee directs the Department to submit the following information as part of its future budget requests.

For each program element and project: the funding appropriated in the previous year and the expected requirement for the next six years, by year.

For special interest projects and new starts: a detailed schedule (including contract awards, decision points, test events and hardware/software deliveries) at least through the stage of testing the prototype whose performance will form the basis for deciding whether or not to begin developing the system as a major defense acquisition program.

For those programs that are already major defense acquisition programs: a detailed schedule (including contract awards, decision points, test events and hardware/software deliveries), the number of systems to be acquired, the expected performance, the unit cost, and the cost to completion for the program.

In addition, the Department should present an overall timeline for its future architecture highlighting when each system in that architecture will go into production as well as a comparable threat timeline indicating which threat systems are expected to be deployed and in what quantities.

ORGANIZATION AND MANAGEMENT OF THE CHEMICAL AND BIOLOGICAL DEFENSE PROGRAM


The Committee believes the current management structure of the Department of Defense Chemical and Biological Defense Program is deeply flawed. The multitude of bureaucratic layers and ad hoc organizations that were created for this program have led to bureaucratic infighting among the Services and chronic inaction on important questions pertaining to requirements generation, funding allocations, program execution, and funds management. Given the growing importance of this activity, the Committee believes the Department must make it a priority to redesign and streamline the organizations managing Chemical and Biological Defense in line with proven and established DoD management processes. The Committee strongly recommends at a minimum the following steps for the CB Defense Program:

Materiel Management- Establish a Joint Program Executive Office (JPEO) under Army executive agency reporting to the Army Acqusition Executive and the Defense Acquisition Executive for materiel management and acquisition.

Direct the services to provide acquisition qualified officers and government civilians to manage programs within the JPEO, including reserve component officers.

Designate the Army as the executive agent for funds management.

Requirements Generation- Direct use of the Joint Requirements Oversight Council (JROC) and JROC process for establishing, validating and prioritizing joint CB Defense Program requirements.

The Secretary of Defense shall report to the congressional defense committee no later than 60 days after enactment on its plan to reorganize, streamline, and elevate the priority of the Chemical and Biological Defense Program.

CHEMICAL/BIOLOGICAL WARFARE DEFENSE STUDY


The Committee recommends $1,000,000 over the budget request for the purpose of conducting a study of the chemical and biological warfare defense programs. The Committee directs that in its evaluation of these programs, the Department use an existing tool to assess the relative merit of competing chemical/biological warfare defense programs and submit a report on the results of this study to the congressional defense committees no later than July 30, 2002.

DARPA BIOLOGICAL WARFARE DEFENSE PROGRAM


The Committee directs that the DARPA biological warfare defense program shall not be included in the program guidance and program evaluation directives of the preceding two paragraphs.

UNCONVENTIONAL NUCLEAR WARFARE DEFENSE


The recent attacks on September 11, 2001 vividly demonstrate the need to greatly expand governmental efforts to develop and field systems that can defend against threats posed by weapons of mass destruction. One of the most unsettling and dangerous threats to the homeland is the possibility of nuclear terrorism using unconventional delivery methods, e.g., delivery other than by missile or military aircraft. The Committee believes that a substantial base of capabilities exists within the Department of Defense and the Department of Energy for dealing with the unconventional nuclear threat (UNT), but these resources are not effectively organized and optimized.

The Committee commends the recent work of the Defense Science Board Task Force on Unconventional Nuclear Warfare Defense that analyzed these capabilities and devised a strategy to materially improve the DoD's ability to detect, identify, respond, and prevent unconventional nuclear attacks by national, sub-national, or terrorist entities. To implement this initiative, the DSB Task Force recommended that the Defense Threat Reduction Agency and the National Nuclear Security Administration jointly pool their technology and resources to develop a program to deploy, test, and demonstrate nuclear protection systems at four different U.S. military installations around the world.

The Committee concurs with this recommendation, and has provided $50,000,000 to implement such an initiative at one installation operated by each military service. The Committee expects these installations to be varied in nature and geography (e.g. a port, an airbase, an installation with high security assets and high ground traffic) to develop and demonstrate applications and techniques to meet a wide variety of circumstances. The Committee would expect that these installations turn into permanent technology integration test-beds with the goal that vetted technology would be deployed to critical military and civilian installations. These projects shall be managed similar to the Department's advanced concept technology demonstration (ACTD) procedure to (1) provide an integrated sensor text-bed network for base/force protection; (2) leverage law enforcement, DoD force protection, and DOE technology; and (3) integrate if/where possible, other types of chemical/biological/explosives sensors into the network. Emphasis shall be on demonstrating existing technology that can be deployed quickly.

In addition, the Committee has provided $25,000,000 to the Defense Threat Reduction Agency only to develop and execute a nuclear threat R&D; response program. Funds shall be used to improve such items as:















The Committee believes that this new initiative can only be successful if all relevant agencies actively and vigorously participate. The Committee expects the Secretary of Defense to immediately initiate high-level efforts to oversee the execution of Memoranda of Understanding between DTRA, NNSA, and other agencies such as FBI, DoJ, and CIA where appropriate. The Committee expects that this program will be programmed and adequately financed in the FY 2003-2008 POM process.

The Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to submit a classified report to the congressional defense committees within 180 days of enactment of this Act, explaining the sites selected, the roles and missions of the different non-DoD agencies, the technology test-bed deployment schedules, the plan for deploying vetted technology, the RDT&E; project plan, and future fiscal year funding requirements.

RADIATION HARDENED ELECTRONICS


The Committee strongly supports the Department of Defense's initiatives to advance strategic radiation hardened digital CMOS microelectronics technology and production capability at the two remaining domestic suppliers of upper radiation hardened microelectronics. Of the funds provided, the Committee directs that not less than $17,000,000 in program element 602715BR and $50,000,000 requested for `Domestic Radiation Hardened Electronics' in the Defense Production Act be used to advance technology and fabrication capability only for established suppliers currently manufacturing upper radiation hardened microelectronic components in their own domestic fabrication facilities who have a demonstrated history and capability of supplying these components to the Department of Defense in support of strategic programs. The Committee also supports the USD(A&T;) strategy and funding requirements, stated July 18, 2001, to preserve this competitive supplier base and directs the military services and defense agencies to align their investment strategies to support this critical strategic capability.

ARMS CONTROL TECHNOLOGY


The Committee recommends an increase of $4,875,000 in Arms Control Technology only for innovative technologies and equipment, as part of the effort to ensure compliance with arms control, which is to be used only for the continuation of an industry-based research program for developing systems using advances in solid state nuclear detectors, processing electronics, analysis software, chemical detection and identification technology, and  combination nuclear/chemical/biological technology.

DIVISION B--FISCAL YEAR 2002 SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATIONS


DIVISION HIGHLIGHTS


This Division includes a total of $20 billion in supplemental appropriations, to be allocated from amounts made available in Public Law 107-38, the Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act for Recovery from and Response to Terrorist Attacks on the United States, FY 2001. This Act provided a total of $40 billion in response to the tragic events of September 11, 2001. Of the $40 billion, $10 billion was available for obligation immediately, another $10 billion was available for obligation 15 days after the Director of the Office of Management and Budget submitted to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations a proposed allocation and plan for the use of the funds, and $20 billion was available only after a subsequent appropriations Act allocated those funds in law. This Division allocates this final $20 billion of emergency funding.

Included in this Division is $7.3 billion for Department of Defense programs for national security operations. The remaining funds address high priority needs relating to recovery efforts, homeland security, and public health. The Department of Justice is appropriated $1.5 billion, including $538.5 million for the Federal Bureau of Investigation for its investigation into the attacks and $409.6 million for the Immigration and Naturalization Service for border security. The Department of Health and Human Services is appropriated nearly $2 billion for public health activities.

The Committee also recommends that the Department of Labor receive $1.5 billion to assist workers who were dislocated by the attacks. A total of $1.5 billion is recommended for airline security, including $1 billion, financed by user fees, for the screening of passengers and property on passenger aircraft. The Federal Emergency Management Agency is provided $4.9 billion to help victims of the attacks, remove debris from the World Trade Center site, and assist with rebuilding critical infrastructure.

The remaining funds provide for additional security at Federal facilities, increased transportation security, improved protections against bioterrorism, and other activities directly related to the attacks of September 11th and their aftermath.

CHAPTER 1


DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE


OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY


The Committee recommends $4,582,000 for the Office of the Secretary for the following purposes:



















AGRICULTURE BUILDINGS AND FACILITIES AND RENTAL PAYMENTS


The Committee recommends $2,875,000 for security measures at headquarters facilities in the Washington, D.C. area, including increased guard services, design and first phase of installation of public address system, and design and first phase of installation of window blast protection covering.

AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH SERVICE


SALARIES AND EXPENSES


The Committee recommends $5,635,000 for security measures at the following locations: $98,000 for Newark, DE; $3,227,000 for Plum Island, NY; $1,650,000 for Ames, IA; $100,000 for East Lansing, MI; $150,000 for Ft. Detrick, MD; $260,000 for Laramie, WY; and $150,000 for security assessments at foreign locations.

ANIMAL AND PLANT HEALTH INSPECTION SERVICE


SALARIES AND EXPENSES


The Committee recommends a total of $8,175,000. For security measures, the Committee recommends $3,175,000 in the specified amounts for the following locations: $315,000 for Riverdale, MD; $1,788,000 for Mission, TX; $461,000 for Phoenix, AZ; and $611,000 for Otis, MA. The Committee also recommends $5,000,000 to establish an APHIS biosecurity staff.

BUILDINGS AND FACILITIES


The Committee recommends $14,081,000 for the National Veterinary Services Laboratories (NVSL) in Ames, IA. NVSL is the main diagnostic laboratory for national animal disease control and eradication programs. Facilities currently occupied by NVSL are grossly inadequate. Currently, diagnostic testing for animal diseases such as bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), anthrax, e. coli, and salmonella are conducted in a

location that creates a potential public health risk should security procedures fail.

The Committee's recommendation would finance the relocation of laboratories to the main NVSL campus where a higher level of safety and security can be provided. In addition, the recommended funding would complete the physical security countermeasure installation, and would enhance security guard service.

FOOD SAFETY AND INSPECTION SERVICE


The Committee recommends a total of $9,800,000 as follows: $900,000 for security measures at St. Louis, MO and Alameda, CA; and $8,900,000 to finance a bioterrorism initiative in order to expand the agency's capability to detect and respond to bacterial and chemical agents contaminating the food supply.

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES


FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION


SALARIES AND EXPENSES


The Committee recommends $104,350,000 for activities of the Food and Drug Administration.

The Committee recognizes the important role that FDA plays in protecting the public health by ensuring the availability of safe and effective drugs, vaccines, blood products, medical devices, and animal health products, and by ensuring a safe food supply. The Committee believes that a combination of public health and law enforcement responsibilities requires agency involvement in a number of aspects of the preparedness for and response to a terrorist act and that both civilian and military sectors of the population are served by FDA's mandate, thus broadening further the scope of its antiterrorism activities.

The Committee recognizes FDA's need for special assistance in order to hire quickly a large number of personnel and expects the Office of Personnel Management to be fully supportive of this effort. Also, the Committee directs the FDA to use delegated hiring authority, quick hire, and any contracting services available to bring people on board quickly and with the proper security clearance.

The Committee believes these funds will enable FDA to greatly accelerate its efforts to deal with any potential bioterrorism incident and expects these funds will be used for three major efforts. First, $34,600,000 to speed the development of new bioterrorism tools by accelerating the availability of medical products (drugs, vaccines, and devices) necessary to public health preparedness for the intentional use of biological, chemical, or nuclear agents. This amount provides for 152 new hires for this effort. Second, $61,000,000 to increase safety of our imported foods by providing for increased inspections of imported food products. The additional resources will allow the FDA to hire 410 more inspectors, lab specialists and other compliance experts, in addition to allowing the FDA to invest in new technology and scientific equipment to detect select agents. Third, $8,750,000 and 3 FTE, to increase physical security and provide for increased guard services, improved security systems, and physical barriers at the entrances to buildings and parking lots.

Recommendations by activity: The Committee recommends that of the total amount provided for new bioterrorism tools: (1) $11,100,000 and 25 FTE shall be for the Center for Drug, Evaluation and Research and related field activities in the Office of Regulatory Affairs; (2) $16,800,000 and 102 FTE shall be for the Center for Biologics, Evaluation and Research and related field activities in the Office of Regulatory Affairs; (3) $1,500,000 and 13 FTE shall be for the Center for Devices and Radiological Health and related field activities in the Office of Regulatory Affairs; (4) $4,800,000 and 8 FTE shall be for the National Center for Toxicological Research; and, $400,000 and 8 FTE shall be for the Office of Chief Counsel within the Office of the Commissioner. Of the total amounts provided for the safety of imported foods: (1) $44,500,000 and 395 FTE shall be for the Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition and related field activities in the Office of Regulatory Affairs; and, (2) $1,500,000 and 15 FTE shall be for the Center for Animal Drugs and Feeds and related field activities in the Office of Regulatory Affairs. The amount for physical security totals $8,750,000 and 3 FTE: $300,000 and 3 FTE shall be for the Office of Facilities within the Office of Management and Systems and $8,450,000 shall be for the Other Rent and Rent-Related Activities.

Further, the Committee recognizes the importance of acting quickly in cases of emergency. Up to $3,000,000 may be reallocated to respond to a public health emergency, with after the fact notification of the Committee.

INDEPENDENT AGENCIES


COMMODITY FUTURES TRADING COMMISSION


The Committee recommends $6,495,000 for the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). These resources are required to ensure that CFTC has adequate resources on-hand to address basic disaster recovery needs for the Commission's New York regional office, which was formerly located in the World Trade Center. Efforts will focus on requirements for re-establishing a working office, including space, information technology, equipment, and additional staff reassigned from the District of Columbia to New York to ensure continued market oversight.

CHAPTER 2


DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

The Committee recommendation includes $12,500,000 for General Legal Activities for the coordination of international legal activities, the provision of expert legal advice on issues related to terrorism prosecution, and for the Office of the Special Master to administer compensation to the victims of the September 11, 2001 attacks.

SALARIES AND EXPENSES, UNITED STATES ATTORNEYS


The Committee recommendation includes a total of $68,450,000 for the United States Attorneys to establish anti-terrorism task forces, investigate and prosecute those involved in the recent terrorist attacks, and renovate offices and equipment damaged in the southern district of New York.

SALARIES AND EXPENSES, UNITED STATES MARSHALS SERVICE


The Committee recommendation includes $11,100,000 for the United States Marshals Service for expansion of the witness protection safe sites to accommodate the influx of witnesses associated with the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks; for emergency equipment, travel, vehicles, and overtime to produce, protect and secure witnesses; and for protective details for members of the Federal judiciary.

FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION


SALARIES AND EXPENSES

CHAPTER 3


DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE--MILITARY


OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE


DEFENSE EMERGENCY RESPONSE FUND


The fiscal year 2001 Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act for Recovery from and Response to Terrorist Attacks on the United States (Public Law 107-38) provided $40,000,000,000 in emergency appropriations. Pursuant to the provisions of that Act, the President has proposed, in formal messages to the Congress received as of November 9, 2001, that activities of the Department of Defense (and related intelligence activities) be allocated a total of $20,516,000,000. Documents provided to the Committee by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) indicate that the President intends to allocate another $345,000,000 of funds not yet formally designated, yet still available from Public Law 107-38, to defense and intelligence activities. Therefore, in all, the Administration has indicated its intent to allocate $20,861,000,000 in emergency appropriations to defense and intelligence activities from funds made available in Public Law 107-38.

Pursuant to the terms of Public Law 107-38, the President has proposed the Congress formally approve in a supplemental appropriations act the allocation of $20,000,000,000 from Public Law 107-38. For programs funded in this chapter, the President's supplemental request included a total of $7,323,969,000 to support the Department of Defense's crisis and recovery operations and national security responsibilities. This amount is to support activities as follows: $1,735,000,000 for increased situational awareness; $855,969,000 for enhanced force protection; $219,000,000 for improved command and control; $2,938,000,000 for increased worldwide posture; $545,000,000 for offensive counter-terrorism; $106,000,000 for initial crisis response; and $925,000,000 for repair and upgrade of the Pentagon.

The Committee recommends $7,242,911,000, a net decrease of $81,058,000 from the request. The Committee notes this largely reflects a reallocation of funds from Defense Department programs funded in this chapter to other Department of Defense activities (emergency military construction projects) funded in Chapter 9 of the Committee supplemental appropriations bill.

Many of the proposed adjustments in this chapter to the supplemental request reflect the fact that, in its version of the fiscal year 2002 Defense Appropriations Act, the Committee has already provided funding for many of the initiatives requested by the President in the supplemental. In addition, the Committee recommends other adjustments in light of the pressing need to accelerate a number of counter-terrorism programs not contained in the request, or in order to augment funding already allocated by the President in a variety of areas.

A summary of the Committee's recommendations, versus the supplemental request, is shown in the table below.

DEFENSE AND INTELLIGENCE FUNDING FROM PUBLIC LAW 107-38


The Committee observes that in this supplemental request--as well as in the transfer of already available funds contained in Public Law 107-38--the Administration has chosen to request funds for defense and intelligence activities in a manner that departs from all previous norms. In nearly all communications to the Congress regarding the emergency funding needed for defense and intelligence activities in response to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, it has submitted both its formal requests and supporting data--which normally would include the appropriations accounts ultimately required for obligation and fiscal management of funds, as well as program and budget documentation--in a format radically different than that traditionally used in budget requests. For example, the Administration has requested that all Department of Defense funds be appropriated to the `Defense Emergency Response Fund'--an account created by Congress in response to natural

disasters in 1989, and which has not been included in any budget request by any subsequent Administration--for obligation, as opposed to the appropriations accounts typically used in defense appropriations acts. Compounding these difficulties, the Committee believes the Administration's communication with the Committee and Congress regarding planned allocation and obligation of funds has been, at best, intermittent and scattershot (a notable exception being in the area of intelligence and DoD classified activities).

The Committee is well aware of the difficulty, less than two months following the attacks on our Nation, of preparing any budget to respond to the myriad of requirements confronting the U.S. military and intelligence community. And it understands full well the need at this time to provide funds to the executive branch, and ultimately to the `user in the field', in a manner that combines timeliness with flexibility; as well as the difficulties associated with generating precise budget estimates in the midst of so much activity.

Accordingly, the Committee has recommended appropriating funds for the Department of Defense and the intelligence community in this supplemental measure in a manner basically consistent with the Administration's approach, and specific appropriations language requests. However, the Committee does not believe this should be viewed as setting a new precedent. Rather, it believes--and directs--that all subsequent supplemental appropriations requests for defense and intelligence activities in response to the attacks of September 11, 2001 be, to the extent possible, submitted using the traditional appropriations account format and with similarly configured, detailed supporting materials. This must be done in order to reinstate a more `regular order' approach--to ensure proper program review, fiscal discipline and controls, and oversight by both the executive and legislative branches.

REPORTING, REPROGRAMMING, AND NEW START REQUIREMENTS


In keeping with the concerns expressed above, and in order to maintain the needed level of program funding fidelity and budget discipline, the Committee expects that funds provided in this chapter be used only for the activities identified in the tables and paragraphs contained in this report (and, as necessary, as amended in conference with the Senate), subject to the traditional reprogramming procedures including notification of new starts. This direction also applies to the allocation of all other funds from Public Law 107-38 that have, or will be, provided to the Department of Defense and those activities of the National Foreign Intelligence Program (NFIP) funded in defense appropriations acts. (The other funds referred to include the Administration's announced allocation of $13.5 billion in funds for defense and intelligence activities from Public Law 107-38 which were not requested in the President's supplemental request.) The Committee directs the Department, in consultation with OMB, within 30 days of enactment of this supplemental measure, to provide an allocation plan for these first two increments of funding (referred to by OMB as `cash' and `15-day release' funds, in internal working documents), consistent with the guidance in this report. Additional discussion regarding the so-called `15-day release' funds is found later in this report.

The Committee directs that, within 30 days of enactment of this supplemental measure, the Undersecretary of Defense (Comptroller) submit a Base for Reprogramming (DD 1414) for all funds provided in the supplemental, as well as using the project level of detail provided in the Committee report. The Committee directs that, thereafter, a report be submitted on a quarterly basis starting January 1, 2002 to the congressional defense committees detailing: the funds available; the funds transferred; the appropriations account to which transferred; the amount obligated; and the amount expended. This report shall generally be at the level of detail identified in the Base for Reprogramming. For military personnel and operation and maintenance accounts, the level of detail shall be similar to the monthly reports provided to the Appropriations Committees for ongoing operations in Bosnia and Kosovo. Each report shall, for military personnel and operation and maintenance accounts, identify savings due to cancellation or downsizing of normal peacetime education, training, professional development, or other activities due to individual and unit activations or deployments in the war on terrorism.

The Committee directs that the threshold for below threshold reprogrammings for defense appropriations activities funded through appropriations provided in Public Law 107-38 be set at $10,000,000. All reprogrammings among projects in the Base for Reprogrammings at or above $10,000,000 are subject to prior approval by the congressional defense committees per the traditional reprogramming process. The Committee also directs that new start notification procedures apply to the funds provided in the supplemental. Notification of new starts, regardless of dollar value, may be made by letter to the congressional defense committees. The Committee encourages, after submission of new start notification letters, immediate follow-up with the congressional defense committees to ensure expedited consideration and approval, as appropriate.

OVERSEAS CONTINGENCY OPERATIONS TRANSFER FUND


Included within operation and maintenance appropriations provided in title II of the Committee's version of the fiscal year 2002 Defense Appropriations bill is funding for ongoing DoD operations in Bosnia and Kosovo. These funds are provided in the Overseas Contingency Operations Transfer Fund (OCOTF). As a central transfer appropriations account, funds appropriated to the OCOTF are provided to the Secretary of Defense in a manner which provides considerable flexibility in the allocation of funds provided therein. The Committee notes that the basis for its actions in the fiscal year 2002 Defense Appropriations bill were intended to fund U.S. military activities in the Balkans, and not to provide a source of funds for activities resulting as a consequence of the September 11, 2001 attacks. In keeping with the rationale behind the OCOTF, the Committee therefore directs that funds provided in the OCOTF may be used for other deployment and operational activities than those specifically identified in the fiscal year 2002 budget submission, but only 30 days after prior written notification by the Secretary of Defense to the congressional defense committees as to the specific purposes for which the funds will be used.

INCREASED SITUATIONAL AWARENESS


The President requested $1,735,000,000 for Increased Situational Awareness. These funds will support on going military operations and enhance U.S. intelligence, reconnaissance, surveillance, and targeting capabilities against terrorist organizations.

The Committee recommends $1,735,000,000, as detailed in the following table:

Recommended adjustments to the programs in the supplemental request are addressed in a classified annex accompanying this report.

ENHANCED FORCE PROTECTION


The President requested $855,969,000 for Enhanced Force Protection. These resources are to fund actions taken to better protect military personnel and facilities against terrorist attacks based on vulnerability assessments. These force protection activities include improved security, access control, training, chemical-biological detection and consequence management, and antiterrorism countermeasures.

The Committee recommends $742,911,000, as detailed in the following table:

BASE OPERATIONS FOR ANTI-TERRORISM/FORCE PROTECTION/FORCE PROTECTION MODERNIZATION


The Committee recommends supplemental appropriations of $200,000,000 to fund `Base Operations for Anti-Terrorism/Force Protection/Force Protection Modernization'. The Committee notes that the DoD has already been allocated $582,000,000 of funds from Public Law 107-38 for these programs, and that the Administration has provided notification of an additional $234,000,000 from funds from Public Law 107-38 which are to be devoted to this effort. Combined with the recommended funding in this bill, supplemental appropriations have increased funding for `Base Operations Anti-Terrorism/Force Protection/Force Protection Modernization' by a total of $1,016,000,000.

CHEMICAL AND BIOLOGICAL WARFARE DEFENSE


The President requested $222,000,000 for programs related to chemical and biological warfare defense, including $56,000,000 for medical requirements, $55,000,000 for chemical and biological consequence management, and $111,000,000 for individual protective systems. This is in addition to $69,000,000 that the Department of Defense has allocated from previously appropriated supplemental funding to acquire biological warfare detection equipment.

In title IX of the Committee's proposed fiscal year 2002 Department of Defense Appropriations bill, the Committee has recommended $474,000,000 in additional funding for chemical and biological warfare defense, including $175,000,000 for medical requirements (vaccines and antibiotics). The Committee therefore recommends reducing the supplemental request by a total of $104,000,000, as outlined in the table, to eliminate duplication and to address other critical counter-terrorism shortfalls. For example, in this chapter the Committee recommends an increase over the supplemental request of $40,000,000 for the Army's Chemical Stockpile Preparedness Program, to ensure that the existing U.S. stockpile of chemical agents is safely protected until it is destroyed. Another $40,000,000, over the supplemental request, is provided for the Former Soviet Union Threat Reduction Program to reduce the threat of biological weapons proliferation. These funds, combined with $28,000,000 which the Administration has notified the Committee it intends to allocate to purchasing additional detectors, brings the total increase for Chemical and Biological Warfare Defense recommended by the Committee (in this bill, and the fiscal year 2002 Defense Appropriations bill) to $769,000,000.

FORMER SOVIET UNION THREAT REDUCTION


The Committee recommends an increase of $40,000,000 over the supplemental request, only for the Former Soviet Union Threat Reduction program. Of this amount, the bill requires that $30,000,000 be transferred to the Department of State in support of the Biological Weapons Redirect and Science and Technology Centers programs. These programs have been reasonably effective in promoting the reconfiguration of former Soviet biological weapons production facilities for peaceful uses and preventing former Soviet biological weapons experts from emigrating to proliferant states. The Committee expects these funds to be used to redirect to veterinary vaccine production the Russian biological production facilities in Pokrov and Berdsk that are now capable of producing large quantities of anthrax and smallpox biological agents. Funds should also be used to engage former Soviet biological weapons scientists in collaborative research with U.S. corporations to develop new vaccine and drug therapies for highly infectious diseases.

ANTI-ACCESS IMPROVEMENTS


The Committee recommends a total of $70,000,000 for DoD requirements to improve anti-access barriers and equipment across the services and defense agencies, a reduction of $30,000,000 to the request done without prejudice. The Committee makes this reduction only in order to meet other, similarly pressing requirements, and in its belief that the funds provided for this purpose, combined with Base Operations Anti-Terrorism/ Force Protection supplemental funding, will support accomplishment of most critical requirements.

COTS VISUALIZATION AND BLAST MODELING


The Committee recommends an increase of $5,000,000 over the supplemental request, only for the conversion of current CIA/OTI technology for use by the USAF Force Protection Battlelab. This is done in order to accelerate efforts to quickly produce accurate blast models for specific or unique structures to assist in choosing specific deployment and billeting locations.

TERRORIST DEVICE DEFEAT


The Committee recommends an increase of $15,000,000 over the supplemental request, only for the Defense Threat Reduction Agency's Terrorist Device Defeat Program. These funds are to be used to develop a nuclear forensics database, and to conduct applied research and development with operational and technical support, in order to enhance the capability of DoD to detect, diagnose and defeat improvised nuclear devices and radiological dispersal devices.

PHYSICAL SECURITY--FORCE PROTECTION/ANTI-TERRORISM RESEARCH


The Committee recommends an increase of $20,000,000 over the supplemental request, only for the Department's Force Protection/Anti-Terrorism research, development, test and evaluation program, funded through the Office of the Secretary of Defense (through the `Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Defense-Wide' appropriation). This program evaluates and tests commercial-off-the-shelf products to identify those that will meet critical Department of Defense physical security requirements.

DARPA ASYMMETRIC THREAT


The Committee recommends an increase of $25,000,000 over the supplemental request, only for DARPA's Asymmetric Threat Program. The new challenges of terrorism and biological warfare require new technologies and techniques to counter them. The projects in this program have the potential to make significant contributions to this effort.

IMPROVED COMMAND AND CONTROL


The President requested $219,000,000 for Improved Command and Control. These funds would support, upgrade, and enhance U.S. communications capabilities to provide for more robust command and control. Such efforts include replacing communications equipment lost in the attacks, increasing network security, procuring additional communications gear, and enhancing overall network reliability and connectivity.

The Committee recommends $162,000,000, as detailed in the following table:

INFORMATION ASSURANCE/CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE PROTECTION


The President requested $57,000,000 for information assurance and critical infrastructure protection. This is in addition to the $168,000,000 which the Department has already allocated from previously appropriated supplemental funding. The Committee, however, has already included an increase of $275,000,000 in title IX of the proposed fiscal year 2002 Department of Defense Appropriations bill for the same purposes, and thus recommends no additional funds in this supplemental measure. Given the Committee's recommendation in the Defense Appropriations bill, and the additional $184,000,000 which the Administration has notified the Committee it intends to allocate to this purpose, the total proposed increases for information assurance and critical infrastructure protection will be $627,000,000.

INCREASED WORLDWIDE POSTURE


The President requested $2,938,000,000 for Increased Worldwide Posture. These resources would fund necessary preparations for, and conduct of, the military response to the September 11, 2001 attacks and the heightened threat environment. Costs include mobilization of reserve forces, movement of pre-positioned stocks, purchase of high-priority spare parts and medical stocks that are in short supply, rebuild of major combat systems to fill current Active and Reserve unit shortages, and purchase of critical ammunition to bring stocks to required levels. Costs identified cover initial, limited contingency and humanitarian operations.

The Committee recommends $2,801,000,000, as detailed in the following table:

INCREMENTAL OPTEMPO REQUIREMENTS


The Committee recognizes the difficulty (especially considering the ongoing shaping of force packages and changing operational requirements) in making funding estimates to support increased operations, including deployments in support of Operation ENDURING FREEDOM, combat operations in the region in and around Afghanistan, and Operation NOBLE EAGLE. The Committee notes that the Administration, on November 9, 2001, formally proposed an allocation of funds from Public Law 107-38 to devote resources to fund an additional three months of such operating requirements, above the three months of funding support contained in the supplemental request. Furthermore, the Committee notes that, in addition to these funds, the Administration allocated $100,000,000 of previously appropriated supplemental funding to this requirement. In this bill, the Committee recommends additional appropriations of $1,195,000,000. These funds, combined with $1,269,000,000 which the DoD has notified the Committee it intends to allocate to incremental OPTEMPO requirements, brings the total for increased OPTEMPO resulting from the September 11, 2001 attacks to $2,464,000,000.

READINESS SPARES


The Administration has already allocated $320,000,000 of supplemental funds from Public Law 107-38 to provide increased readiness spares, in support of deployments and combat operations. While actual expenditure data is only beginning to be reported, the Committee notes that the DoD estimates that significant shortfalls remain in this area. Accordingly, the Committee has added an additional $75,000,000 over the supplemental request, for readiness spares to improve the overall readiness posture of the Services.

DEPOT MAINTENANCE


The increased operating tempo of United States forces in Operations ENDURING FREEDOM and NOBLE EAGLE has resulted in a related increase in depot maintenance. The Administration allocated $31,000,000 of its initial release of supplemental funding to depot maintenance in anticipation of increasing executable work. In order to support and enhance equipment readiness, the Committee recommends an additional $75,000,000 over the supplemental request, to be allocated to executable depot maintenance requirements.

MEDICAL STOCKS AND NUCLEAR, BIOLOGICAL, AND CHEMICAL DEFENSE SUPPLIES


The Committee recommends an increase of $13,000,000 over the supplemental request, only for consumable medical stocks and pharmaceuticals related to nuclear, biological and chemical (NBC) defense. The Committee is aware that the Army has requirements for additional consumable medical supplies to support early deploying medical units, and to provide for pre-treatment and treatment of soldiers who may be injured due to NBC attacks.

OFFENSIVE COUNTER TERRORISM


The President requested $545,000,000 for Offensive Counter Terrorism. These funds would be used primarily to procure munitions in order to increase production rates. Funds in this category will position U.S. military forces to sustain counter terrorism efforts into the future.

The Committee recommends $769,000,000, as detailed in the following table:

PRECISION-GUIDED MUNITIONS


The Administration has notified the Committee of its intent to allocate $929,000,000 from funds previously made available for obligation from Public Law 107-38 for a variety of precision-guided munitions, such as JDAM ($57,000,000), Tomahawk sea-launched cruise missiles ($400,000,000), Conventional Air-Launched Cruise Missile conversions ($138,000,000), and Laser-Guided Bomb Kits ($256,000,000), among others. In addition, the President requested $453,000,000 in the supplemental request for similar items. The Committee bill fully funds this request.

In addition, the Committee recommends an increase of $49,000,000 over the supplemental request, of which $9,000,000 is only for additional JASSM weapons, and $40,000,000 only for additional laser guided bomb kits for the Navy. The funds for the stealthy JASSM cruise missile allow procurement of 19 additional weapons, using extremely favorable pricing under an existing contract option. The funds for Navy Laser Guided Bombs (LGBs) allow the Navy to replenish large expenditures to date as well as provide an inventory for future expenditures.

AMMUNITION, SUPPORT EQUIPMENT, AND LOGISTICAL SUPPORT


The Committee recommends an increase of $30,000,000 over the supplemental request, only for other munitions and related logistical support. Of this amount, $20,000,000 is for Army requirements for small arms ammunition, mortar rounds, artillery rounds, other munitions, fuzes, and associated logistical and transportation costs. The remaining $10,000,000 is to address Marine Corps requirements for munitions, night vision equipment, sights and related support equipment.

SPECIAL OPERATIONS COMMAND COUNTER-TERRORISM REQUIREMENTS


The Committee provides a total of $237,000,000--the $92,000,000 requested in the supplemental request, and an additional increase over the request of $145,000,000--for the United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM), to meet requirements resulting from Operations NOBLE EAGLE and ENDURING FREEDOM. Special Operations forces possess skills uniquely suited for the counter-terrorism mission. Though these forces are superbly trained and equipped, transforming those capabilities into a sustained effort to combat world wide terrorism requires additional training, equipment and other readiness enhancements beyond that which has been made available to date. The Committee directs the Commander in Chief, USSOCOM, to provide to the congressional defense committees not later than 30 days after enactment of this supplemental measure, a report (in both classified and unclassified forms) on the proposed uses of all funds provided USSOCOM under this chapter, as well as other funding made available from Public Law 107-38.

INITIAL CRISIS RESPONSE


The President requested $106,000,000 for Initial Crisis Response. These funds are required to respond to the initial crises in New York, Virginia, and Pennsylvania and to manage the immediate consequences of these events. This includes the cost of flying air patrols and deploying aircraft carriers to protect New York City and Washington, D.C. In addition, this response funds military support for disaster relief, including increasing security at the Pentagon, mortuary services, and support to the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

The Committee recommends $108,000,000, as detailed in the following table:

PENTAGON REPAIR/UPGRADE


The President requested $925,000,000 for Pentagon Repair and Upgrades. These resources would be used to repair the damage that resulted from the September 11th attack on the Pentagon. This includes structural repairs required to make the building safe, exterior repairs, and repairs to interior fire and water damage. Also funded are the costs of replacing equipment damaged in the attack, relocation and lease costs for displaced employees, and additional antiterrorism enhancements to the Pentagon.

The Committee recommends $925,000,000, as detailed in the following table:

CHAPTER 4


DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA


The Committee recommends $25,630,966 for Emergency Preparedness in the District of Columbia. These funds are made available from the 2001 Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act for Recovery from and Response to Terrorist Attacks on the United States (Public Law 107-38, approved September 18, 2001). The Committee recognizes the responsibility of the District government in supporting the Nation's Capital and has provided funding for increased preparedness for chemical and biological events.

CHAPTER 5


DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE--CIVIL


DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY


CORPS OF ENGINEERS--CIVIL


OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE, GENERAL


The Committee has recommended $139,000,000, the same as the amount requested by the Administration, to support increased security at over 300 critical Army Corps of Engineers owned and operated infrastructure facilities, including enhanced physical security, and facility vulnerability assessments to determine additional facility security needs. The funds would also support increased personnel and overtime compensation to maintain additional guards at these facilities, including Corps district offices, engineering centers, and laboratories.

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR


BUREAU OF RECLAMATION


WATER AND RELATED RESOURCES


The Committee has recommended $30,259,000, the same as the amount requested by the Administration, for the Bureau of Reclamation to enhance security at its dams, power plants, and other critical facilities. Funds will be used for increased surveillance, and for equipment and other immediate improvements.

The funds provided will also be used for vulnerability assessments to determine future security needs.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY


NATIONAL NUCLEAR SECURITY ADMINISTRATION


WEAPONS ACTIVITIES


The Committee recommendation for Weapons Activities is $88,000,000, a reduction of $18,000,000 from the Administration's request. Of these funds, $66,000,000 is to address safeguards and security configuration vulnerabilities throughout the nuclear weapons complex; $7,000,000 is to accelerate deployment of near-term cyber security measures at all nuclear weapons complex sites; and $15,000,000 is to provide additional resources for transportation safeguards system operations.

DEFENSE NUCLEAR NONPROLIFERATION


The Committee recommendation for Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation is $18,000,000. These funds will be used to increase the effectiveness of the prototype Biological Aerosol Sentry and Information System (BASIS), a demonstration of a prototype biological detection system to provide civilian public health systems with early warning of airborne biological agents. This funding is needed for the next round of development to automate more of the processes and increase the number of agents that can be detected. The Administration's request included no additional funds for this activity.

ENVIRONMENTAL AND OTHER DEFENSE ACTIVITIES


DEFENSE ENVIRONMENTAL RESTORATION AND WASTE MANAGEMENT


The Committee recommendation for Defense Environmental Restoration and Waste Management is $8,200,000, the same as the Administration's request. These funds will be used to increase the

protective forces at the Hanford site in Washington and the Savannah River Site in South Carolina where nuclear materials are stored.

OTHER DEFENSE ACTIVITIES


The Committee recommendation for Other Defense Activities is $3,500,000, the same as the Administration's request. Of these funds, $2,500,000 is to expand protective forces, replace outdated alarm and radio systems, and install public address systems at the Department of Energy's Washington, DC, facilities. Funding of $1,000,000 will be used to purchase and accelerate deployment of distributed air sampling units for the detection of biological agents using the prototype Biological Aerosol Sentry and Information System.

CHAPTER 6


DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR


NATIONAL PARK SERVICE


OPERATION OF THE NATIONAL PARK SYSTEM


The Committee recommends $10,098,000 for Operation of the National Park System to respond to the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States. Of this amount, $6,098,000, as requested, is for increased security patrols and communications requirements at high profile locations and $4,000,000 is to reimburse the National Park Service for relocation of employees to accommodate National security requirements. These latter funds were requested by the Administration as part of the General Services Administration account. The Committee has recommended a direct appropriation to the National Park Service in lieu of channeling the funds through GSA.

UNITED STATES PARK POLICE


The Committee recommends $25,295,000 for the United States Park Police, as requested, to respond to the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States. These funds are for increased security patrols in Washington, DC and New York and for equipment upgrades.

CONSTRUCTION


The Committee recommends $21,624,000 for Construction to respond to the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States. This amount is for repairs at Federal Hall on Wall Street in New York City and for increased security, including security equipment and expanding the security perimeter around the Statue of Liberty.

DEPARTMENTAL OFFICES


DEPARTMENTAL MANAGEMENT


SALARIES AND EXPENSES


The Committee recommends $2,205,000 for Salaries and Expenses, as requested, to respond to the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States. These funds are provided for the working capital fund of the Department of the Interior to increase guard services and upgrade security equipment at the Department of the Interior buildings near the White House.

OTHER RELATED AGENCIES


SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION


SALARIES AND EXPENSES


The Committee recommends $21,707,000 for Salaries and Expenses, as requested, to respond to the terrorist attacks on the United States. These funds are for clean up at the Heye Center in New York City and for increased security at Smithsonian facilities.

NATIONAL GALLERY OF ART


SALARIES AND EXPENSES

JOHN F. KENNEDY CENTER FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS


OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE


The Committee recommends $4,310,000 for Operations and Maintenance, as requested, to respond to the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States. These funds are for increased security at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, DC.

NATIONAL CAPITAL PLANNING COMMISSION


SALARIES AND EXPENSES


The Committee recommends $758,000 for Salaries and Expenses, as requested, to respond to the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States. These funds are for the preparation of an Urban Design and Security Plan, which provides a comprehensive framework for architectural, landscape, and streetscape elements to address security needs in Washington, DC.

CHAPTER 7


DEPARTMENT OF LABOR


EMPLOYMENT AND TRAINING ADMINISTRATION


TRAINING AND EMPLOYMENT SERVICES


The Committee provides $1,500,000,000 for National Emergency Grants, authorized under section 173 of the Workforce Investment Act, to States to assist workers who were dislocated by the attacks of September 11, 2001. This is $500,000,000 less than the request. The Administration has stated that an additional $1,000,000,000 would be requested for the National Emergency Grants with the fiscal year 2003 budget submission. The Committee notes that the Economic Stimulus and Recovery Act, H.R. 3090, which was approved by the House of Representatives on October 24, 2001, provides an additional $12,200,000,000 to assist unemployed individuals

with their health benefit costs and States with costs related to unemployment benefits.

Under the National Emergency Grants States may provide a variety of employment and training assistance and support services, including temporary health care coverage of premium costs, to dislocated workers if the Governor certifies in the grant application to the Secretary of Labor that the attacks of September 11th contributed importantly to closures or layoffs. These funds are available for obligation for the period beginning on the date of enactment of the appropriation and ending 18 months after such date. The Committee has included language that authorizes States to assist participants and their dependents in retaining health coverage that had been provided as a result of the participant's previous employment by paying up to 75 percent of the full amount of the premium. Such payments could be made for a period up to 10 months.

STATE UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE AND EMPLOYMENT SERVICE OPERATIONS


The Committee provides $4,100,000 for State Unemployment Insurance and Employment Service Operations to help New York recover from damages incurred as a result of the attacks of September 11, 2001. This is the same as the request. A major component of New York's telephone claims capability for processing unemployment insurance claims was lost, resulting in the need to deploy staff to take claims in person. In addition, New York suffered a total loss of an Unemployment Insurance field office for tax and quality assurance, requiring replacement of space, equipment, and furniture.

PENSION AND WELFARE BENEFITS ADMINISTRATION


SALARIES AND EXPENSES


The Committee provides $1,600,000 for the Pension and Welfare Benefits Administration (PWBA), to relocate employees and re-establish an office. This is the same as the request. The PWBA New York regional office was located at 6 World Trade Center; that building is now uninhabitable.

OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH ADMINISTRATION


SALARIES AND EXPENSES


The Committee provides $1,000,000 for the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). This is the same as the request. This includes funding for reconstitution of OSHA's Manhattan office, which was completely destroyed in the attacks of September 11, 2001, and continued on-site monitoring to ensure the safety and health of recovery workers.

DEPARTMENTAL MANAGEMENT


SALARIES AND EXPENSES


The Committee provides $5,880,000 for the Department of Labor, Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration and Management to address immediate security needs and recover offices that were destroyed in the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. This is the same as the request.

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES


PUBLIC HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICES EMERGENCY FUND


The Committee provides $1,990,600,000 for emergency expenses to respond to the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States, and for other expenses necessary to support activities related to countering potential biological, disease, and chemical threats to civilian populations. This is $500,000,000 above the request.

The additional $1,990,600,000 provided by the Committee for bioterrorism preparedness and response, combined with the $393,319,000 provided in H.R. 3061 for these activities, brings the total to $2,383,919,000 for fiscal year 2002. This is $2,151,400,000 above last year's level and $550,000,000 above the request.

Within the total provided, $1,131,600,000 is for activities of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which is $308,000,000 above the request and $950,681,000 above last year's level. Of this amount, the Committee provides $593,600,000 for the National Pharmaceutical Stockpile. This is $50,000,000 less than the request due to the savings negotiated over the purchase of antibiotics to treat persons exposed to anthrax and other bacterial infections.

The Committee provides $423,000,000 for upgrading State and local capacity, which is $358,000,000 above the request. Included in this amount is $90,000,000 for early detection surveillance, including a secured web-based disease notification and surveillance system and the Health Alert Network; and $100,000,000 for State and local preparedness planning. The remaining $233,000,000 is for ongoing State and local capacity building, including augmenting laboratory capacity, and activities authorized in sections 319B, 319C, and 319F of the Public Health Service Act, as amended. The Committee believes that a portion of this funding should be available immediately to meet the needs of State and local health departments as a result of the September 11, 2001 attacks and other subsequent events related to bioterrorism. The Committee also believes that a portion of this funding should be granted under the authority of the Public Health Threats and Emergencies Act, which calls for assessments of public health needs, provides grants to State and local public health agencies to address core public health capacity needs, and provides assistance to State

and local health agencies to enable them to respond effectively to bioterrorist attacks. The Secretary is requested to provide the Committee with a plan to distribute this funding within 15 days of enactment of this Act.

The Committee provides $50,000,000 for upgrading capacity at CDC, which is the same as the request. Included in this amount is $20,000,000 for internal laboratory capacity to update and enhance existing laboratory protocols for use by State and local health laboratories and to increase CDC's capacity to handle additional lab samples from States; $20,000,000 for epidemic intelligence service/disaster response teams; and $10,000,000 for rapid toxic screening.

The Committee provides $30,000,000 to enhance security at CDC laboratory facilities, and $15,000,000 for environmental hazard control activities identified in the request. The Committee also provides $20,000,000 to replenish public health grants that were heavily impacted by the attacks of September 11, 2001 and other subsequent events related to bioterrorism.

Within the total provided, $537,000,000 is for the Office of the Secretary and other Departmental agencies. This is the same as the request. Of this amount, $509,000,000 is to purchase 300 million doses of smallpox vaccine and $28,000,000 is for other activities identified in the request.

Within the total provided, $50,000,000 is for next-generation vaccine research at the National Institutes of Health. The request did not include funding for NIH. The Committee believes, however, that part of the Nation's preparedness must include an expansion of biomedical research in bioterrorism prevention and treatment.

Within the total provided, $82,000,000 is for the Office of Emergency Preparedness, which is $12,000,000 above the request. Of this amount, $50,000,000 is to increase the number of large cities that are able to fully develop Metropolitan Medical Response Systems and $32,000,000 is for disaster medical assistance teams, national disaster medical system readiness, and special events.

Within the total provided, $170,000,000 is for the Health Resources and Services Administration to assist hospitals and emergency departments in preparing for, and responding to, incidents requiring mass immunization and treatment. This is $120,000,000 above the request. This funding would allow State and regional planning with local hospitals, including community health centers. It would also allow some communities to move beyond the planning phase and begin implementation of its plan. The Committee urges the Secretary to ensure that plans and activities supported with these funds are integrated and coordinated with State and local plans.

Within the total provided, $10,000,000 is for the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration for grants pursuant to section 582 of the Public Health Service Act to develop programs focusing on the behavioral and biological aspects of psychological trauma response and for developing knowledge with regard to evidence-based practices for treating psychiatric disorders of children and youth resulting from witnessing or experiencing a traumatic event. The request did not include funding for this activity.

Within the total provided, $10,000,000 is for the Administration for Children and Families and the Administration on Aging for expanded social services to New York and New Jersey. This is the same as the request.

The Committee recognizes that additional funds may be necessary to ensure that Federal, State, and local personnel are trained, equipped, and prepared to respond to all chemical, biological, disease, and nuclear incidents. The Committee encourages the Department to continue to develop the Nation's ability to respond to the public health and medical consequences of a bioterrorist attack and the funding provided includes a substantial new investment to achieve improvements across the country. It is clear, however, that the task is greater than was envisioned and much more needs to be done. The Committee directs the Secretary to provide a report on the state of the Nation's public health and medical preparedness for bioterrorism no later than February 15, 2002. The report should delineate how the investments made to our public health and medical systems have improved our State and local capacity and our readiness for potential acts of terrorism. It also should make recommendations on possible further actions that could be taken to strengthen key components of these systems. These recommendations should also address additional resources needed and focus on needs at the Federal, State, and local levels with specific strategies for meeting those needs. The report should provide specific objectives for preparedness, response, hospital readiness, and applied biomedical research along with time-lines and benchmarks for achieving those objectives. In addition, the report should provide a detail fiscal analysis, including plans for obligating and expending these funds by the Federal government and the States and localities.

The Committee intends to work closely with the Secretary to ensure that the funds provided are appropriately allocated, are expended on a timely basis, and are not used for duplicative or unnecessary activities. The Committee notes that the Secretary has both reprogramming and transfer authority that could be used to supplement available funds. These are important fiscal management tools in a time of national emergency and

should be exercised if necessary to respond to increased need or changes in the allocation of funds among activities. In either case, the Committee expects the Department to comply with the established guidelines governing the reprogramming or transfer of funds.

The Committee provides $10,000,000 to enable the Department of Education to provide crisis recovery services in New York and other jurisdictions for students, educators, and their families under the Safe and Drug-Free Schools and Communities National Programs Project SERV (School Emergency Response to Violence). This is the same as the request. The $10,000,000 will support activities such as counseling and mental health assessments, referrals, and other activities that are essential to restore the teaching and learning environment in schools.

RELATED AGENCIES


NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD


SALARIES AND EXPENSES


The Committee provides $180,000 for the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) for one-time security infrastructure costs to upgrade the ten NLRB offices located in facilities not controlled by the General Services Administration. This is the same as the request.

SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION


LIMITATION ON ADMINISTRATION EXPENSES


The Committee provides $7,500,000 for the Social Security Administration (SSA) to cover additional costs incurred as a result of the attacks of September 11, 2001. This is the same as the request. The attacks on New York City resulted in some temporary SSA office closings as well as a longer-term impact on disability claims processing. The New York regional office, a local field office and a hearings and appeals office were closed temporarily until the Federal Building in lower Manhattan reopened. Of the funds provided, $2,500,000 is included for increased security at SSA facilities required by government security procedures. Additional funds will be used to pay for infrastructure costs, including space, furniture, and supplies for employees relocated from damaged offices.

CHAPTER 8


LEGISLATIVE BRANCH EMERGENCY RESPONSE FUND


(INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)


The Legislative Branch is provided $256,081,000 to ensure the continuance of government, and to enhance the safety and security of legislative branch offices, systems, and employees. Of this amount, $34,500,000 is transferred to the Senate, $40,712,000 to the House, $1,000,000 to the United States Capitol Historical Society, and the remaining $179,869,000 is transferred to the Capitol Police Board for transfer to other affected entities of the Legislative Branch. These amounts are intended to cover additional expenses resulting from terrorists attacks on the United States, such as the costs of increased security measures, and the development and execution of contingency plans to relocate members and congressional staff and other employees of the legislative branch in response to imminent threats.

The Committee anticipates that the remaining balance of $179,869,000 be allocated as follows: Capitol Police Board $59,396,000, Architect of the Capitol, $105,700,000, and the Library of Congress $14,773,000. The Committee recognizes that unanticipated future events may require adjustments to these estimates.

In addition, funds provided the Legislative Branch, except for funds provided to the House and Senate, from the first $20 billion provided by P. L. 107-38, that are not yet obligated are transferred to the Capitol Police Board. The Board is directed to transfer such funds consistent with the objectives of P. L. 107-38 and the needs of the Legislative Branch.

In response to the biological incident, occurring in October 2001, on the Capitol Complex and the emergency response required to protect life and property in the congressional community, the United States Capitol Police, the United States Senate, the House of Representatives, the Library of Congress, the Architect of the Capitol, and the General Accounting Office have incurred certain costs to protect life and property and provide for continuity of operations of the Congress of the United States. As of November 9, 2001, a total cost of $36,346,000 has been incurred, for which funds are provided. The Committee notes these costs are continually being assembled and will ensure adequate funding is provided to properly respond to this unfortunate incident. In addition, $12,000,000 is provided for the Chief Administrative Officer of the House of Representatives to implement additional mail handling protocols, and $21,712,000 to secure off site computer storage. It is recognized that the United States Senate has similar

needs and due to comity between the two bodies, the Committee anticipates these matters will be addressed by the Senate.

CAPITOL POLICE BOARD


CAPITOL POLICE


SALARIES AND GENERAL EXPENSES


As a result of the incidents occurring on September 11, 2001, and the subsequent biological incident, it has become apparent the United States Capitol Police is evolving into a police force which will be very different than the past. The Committee is committed to providing all resources necessary to enable the United States Capitol Police to be the best force in this country. The Committee recognizes the officers have been working twelve-hour shifts, six days a week since September 11th and notes $32,000,000 is provided within the total $40 billion emergency supplemental to cover overtime costs. Funding is included in this bill to reimburse the National Guard for providing assistance to the Capitol Police to relieve officers from the tedious hours they have been working and to allow them to receive proper training. In addition, funding for a new USCP Command Center and headquarters facility is provided to the Architect of the Capitol.

The Chief of Police is directed to establish an Office of Emergency Planning, Preparedness, and Operations, and to report to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations by December 15, 2001 on the plans for the establishment of said office. The office shall be responsible for mitigation and preparedness operations, crisis management and response, resource services, and recovery operations.

The recent incidents of biological exposure and contamination in the United States Capitol facilities have illustrated the need for an enhanced response capability dedicated to the specific requirements of chemical and biological attacks. Response time could be reduced and the degree of exposure to people and places reduced by increasing the internal capability available in Congressional agencies. The Chief of Police is directed to initiate a study on the best organizational structure and mission to provide this enhanced capability. The United States Capitol Police is authorized an increase of up to 72 FTE's to provide this capability, based upon the results of this study.

ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS--THIS CHAPTER


Several administrative provisions are included. One provision extends the policing jurisdiction of the United States Capitol Police to include the property and facilities of the United States Botanic Garden. There are two provisions which authorize the Chief Administrative Officer of the House of Representatives to acquire buildings and facilities by lease, purchase, or such other arrangement in order to respond to an emergency situation and to enter into memoranda of understanding between the House and executive branch agencies to provide facilities, equipment, supplies, personnel, and other support services as required. There is a provision which establishes an office within the House of Representatives. The Committee has included a provision which authorizes salary adjustments for the Chief and Assistant Chief of the Capitol Police. There is a provision that authorizes assistance for the Capitol Police from executive departments and agencies. There is a provision that authorizes the United States Capitol Preservation Commission to transfer funds to the Architect of the Capitol for planning, engineering, design or construction of the Capitol Visitors Center. The Committee has included a provision which sets maximum salary limits for project directors for the Architect of the Capitol. There is a provision which amends the authority of the Architect of the Capitol to acquire property or space. Another provision authorizes the Capitol Police to accept contributions of recreational, comfort, and other incidental items and services while on duty in response to emergencies. A provision has been included to remove a limitation in the fiscal year 2002 Capitol Visitor Center appropriation regarding the scope of the use for the funds provided. The funds may be used for any authorized component of the project. There is a provision that adds a short title to the enacted Legislative Branch Appropriations Act for 2002.

CHAPTER 9


DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE


MILITARY CONSTRUCTION


MILITARY CONSTRUCTION, ARMY


The Committee recommends $55,700,000 for Military Construction, Army. The President requested $4,600,000 for a classified overseas project. In addition to the request, the Committee has appropriated $51,100,000 for three other homeland security projects, including $35,000,000 to secure four sites where stockpiles of weapons of mass destruction are located, $7,000,000 for a classified project at Dugway Proving Ground in Utah, and $9,100,000 for three anti-terrorism/force protection projects at Fort Detrick, Maryland. The Committee urges the Army to begin these projects as soon as possible.

MILITARY CONSTRUCTION, NAVY


The Committee recommends $2,000,000 for Military Construction, Navy, for a perimeter road at Thurmont Naval Support Facility (NSF) in Maryland. The President did not include funds for this project.

MILITARY CONSTRUCTION, AIR FORCE


The Committee recommends $47,700,000 for Military Construction, Air Force. The President requested $21,000,000 for planning and design of a classified project. The additional $26,700,000 is for construction of two classified overseas projects. The Committee urges the Air Force to execute these projects, which support Operation Enduring Freedom, as quickly as possible.

GENERAL PROVISIONS--THIS CHAPTER


(INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)


Section 901 authorizes the Secretary of Defense to transfer funds from current and prior Military Construction Appropriations Acts only if insufficient funds are available in the Defense Emergency Response Fund. The appropriate congressional defense committees must be notified at least 10 days prior to the transfer, must receive a form 1391, and must be apprised of the source of funds from which the transfer is derived.

Section 902 provides the Secretary of Defense with authority to carry out unauthorized military construction projects only if the projects are needed to respond to acts or threatened acts of terrorism. At least 10 days before this authority can be exercised, the Secretary must provide notice and a form 1391 to the appropriate congressional defense committees.

DOVER MORTUARY


Pursuant to the 15-day notification procedures established in the Emergency Supplemental, $19,800,000 is included the Administration's release dated November 9, 2001 to construct a mortuary facility at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware. The Committee expects construction of this facility to begin as soon as possible.

CHAPTER 10


DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION


OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY


SALARIES AND EXPENSES


The Committee recommends $458,000 for the Office of the Secretary, for intelligence equipment, communications and training ($158,000) and for consulting support and analysis ($300,000).

TRANSPORTATION SECURITY ADMINISTRATION


Subject to authorization, the Committee recommends $15,000,000 for start-up costs for the Transportation Security Administration, a new multi-modal DOT agency included in H.R. 3150, as passed the House on November 1, 2001. Although this bill authorizes new user fees for passenger and baggage screening activities, the fees are not eligible to pay the costs of this new agency. This appropriation allows the Administration to begin immediate planning and implementation for this new, and critically important, mission of the department. With these funds, the new agency can begin the hiring for critical staff immediately, allowing the agency to hit the ground running once its legislative authorization is enacted. Much like the Office of Homeland Security provides for government-wide synthesis and coordination of security activities, this DOT agency will provide a focal point for security policy and enhancement in all modes of transportation, coordinating and overseeing the activities of private industry, state and local governments, and the Federal Government in a systematic manner.

AIRCRAFT PASSENGER AND BAGGAGE SCREENING ACTIVITIES


The Committee recommends an appropriation of $1,000,000,000 for the Secretary of Transportation to conduct passenger and baggage screening activities at our nation's commercial service airports. H.R. 3150 authorizes the establishment of a Transportation Security Administration, headed by a new Undersecretary for Transportation Security. Among other things, the Undersecretary is given the responsibility for the screening of passengers and property on aircraft in commercial air service. To offset these new federal costs, the bill authorizes collection of user fees from passengers and airlines, to be used only for security purposes specified in the bill. This bill establishes that such fees may not be collected until an appropriation is made for screening activities. The Senate-passed version of this bill also contemplates additional federal screening responsibilities, and likewise authorizes new user fees. The bill assumes quick enactment of legislation authorizing these activities and fees, and provides the appropriation necessary to finance a greatly enhanced screening program across the country. The Committee understands that this appropriation, based on current travel projections, will not fund an entire year of screening operations. However, this appropriation provides the up-front costs needed to get the new program underway as soon as possible. The bill makes such funding contingent on enactment of authorizing legislation for the conduct of such activities as well as collection of the offsetting fees, and specifies that the appropriation shall be reduced, as fees are collected, to result in an anticipated final general fund appropriation of zero. According to the Federal Aviation Administration, anticipated fee receipts from H.R. 3150 would be sufficient to fully offset the appropriation in this bill.

COAST GUARD


OPERATING EXPENSES


The Committee recommends $144,913,000 for `Operating expenses', to be distributed as shown below:





-----------------------------------------------------------------


Activity                                                  Amount 


-----------------------------------------------------------------


Reserve activation                                  $110,000,000 


Increased homeland security capability                31,293,000 


Chemical, biological, and radiological strike teams    3,620,000 


Total                                                144,913,000 


-----------------------------------------------------------------


The Committee does not include the $60,235,000 requested to increase the pace of operations to provide homeland security activities. Discussions with the Coast Guard indicate that the majority of these funds are to restore funds which the Coast Guard deleted from its fiscal year 2002 budget request. In this bill, the Committee has placed a priority on those activities directly responding to the terrorist attacks of September 11th.

FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION


OPERATIONS


(AIRPORT AND AIRWAY TRUST FUND)


The Committee recommends $291,500,000 for various improvements in aviation and airport security. These funds shall be distributed as shown below:





-----------------------------------------------------------


Activity                                            Amount 


-----------------------------------------------------------


Security demonstration projects and activities $28,500,000 


Sky marshals                                   233,000,000 


Security experts                                30,000,000 


Total                                          291,500,000 


-----------------------------------------------------------


Security demonstration projects and activities.--The bill includes $28,500,000 for the conduct of short-duration pilot projects and demonstrations involving potential new security technologies and concepts. The Committee is aware of several new technologies that could significantly improve aviation security. However, given the unproven nature of these systems and the need to integrate their use into government, airline and airport operations, the prudent course is to establish limited, short-duration operational demonstrations in select airports and involving select air carriers. Of the amount provided, $2,000,000 is only for demonstration of 100 percent positive passenger bag match technology at Reagan Washington National Airport in Virginia.

Sky marshals.--The Committee believes the sky marshals program should be greatly expanded, beyond the level assumed in the Administration request. Although significantly expanded, the number of sky marshals is still inadequate to fully address the threat. DOT officials indicate that the main choke point in hiring additional marshals is not a lack of qualified and willing candidates, but a lack of training facilities. For this reason, the Committee recommends a total of $258,000,000 for the sky marshal program, including $233,000,000 for the hiring of additional marshals under `Operating expenses' and $25,000,000 for additional aviation security training facilities and associated programs under `Facilities and equipment'.

Security experts.--The Committee believes the Department of Transportation should investigate the hiring of a cadre of federal officers to serve as security `experts' at commercial airports. Many high-threat airports in Europe and around the world employ such experts, which are used to carefully check the documentation of travelers, conduct identity checks, and query a variety of government databases including criminal and immigration `watch lists' which are not often provided to private industry. The Committee bill provides $30,000,000 for establishment of such expert teams at a select group of `category X' airports around the country, to prove the feasibility of this concept.

FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT


(AIRPORT AND AIRWAY TRUST FUND)


The Committee recommends $175,000,000 for `Facilities and equipment', to be distributed as shown below:





----------------------------------------------------------------


Activity                                                 Amount 


----------------------------------------------------------------


Explosive detection systems                        $100,000,000 


Cockpit door and transponder modifications           50,000,000 


Aviation security training facilities and programs   25,000,000 


Total                                               175,000,000 


----------------------------------------------------------------


Cockpit door and transponder modifications.--Although the Committee is very supportive of hardening cockpit doors, the Committee's understanding is that most of the administration's requested funding for this effort would not be obligated until permanent door designs have been developed, which is currently estimated to take eighteen months. Interim fixes, including deadbolts, locks, and door strengthening, have been largely accomplished already by the air carriers, and require little additional funding by the Federal Government. For this reason, the Committee believes much of the proposed funding would be put to better use in the sky marshal program and for other security activities which can have a near-term impact. The Committee will consider additional appropriations for door replacements when the design effort has matured.

FEDERAL HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATION


FEDERAL-AID HIGHWAYS


EMERGENCY RELIEF PROGRAM


(HIGHWAY TRUST FUND)


The Committee recommends $75,000,000 for the Federal Highway Administration's Emergency Relief program, to fund repairs and reconstruction of Federal-aid highways which were damaged or destroyed by the collapse of the World Trade Center buildings. This is consistent with the Administration's request.

FEDERAL RAILROAD ADMINISTRATION


SAFETY AND OPERATIONS


The Committee recommends $6,000,000 for the Federal Railroad Administration's safety and operations program, to fund additional expenses related to overtime and hiring of police and security officers related to the security and inspection of rail infrastructure; additional security personnel; costs associated with increased safety inspector travel; and other security measures. This is consistent with the Administration's request.

FEDERAL TRANSIT ADMINISTRATION


FORMULA GRANTS


The Committee recommends $23,500,000 for the replacement of buses and transit kiosks destroyed by the collapse of the World Trade Center ($4,800,000); technical assistance for transit agencies to refine and develop security and emergency response plans ($5,200,000); acceleration and expansion of the PROTECT program aimed at detecting chemical and biological agents in transit stations ($4,000,000); emergency response drills with transit agencies and local first response agencies ($4,500,000); and security training for transit operators ($5,000,000).

Dulles corridor transit project- To facilitate the extension of rail service to Washington Dulles International Airport, the Administrator of the Federal Transit Administration shall work with the Commonwealth of Virginia, Northern Virginia municipalities, the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority, and the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority to develop and implement a financing plan for the Dulles Corridor rapid transit project.

Oversight activities- The Committee requests that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) task the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) to provide, on a reimbursable basis, oversight activities as required under FEMA's Public Assistance Program related to the rebuilding or enhancement of transit facilities damaged by the September 11 terrorist attacks.

FTA may perform these services directly or procure them under contract or other arrangement.

RESEARCH AND SPECIAL PROGRAMS ADMINISTRATION


RESEARCH AND SPECIAL PROGRAMS


The Committee recommends $2,500,000 for the crisis management center and related emergency facilities run by the Research and Special Programs Administration. Funds are provided to finance improvements directly related to communication equipment and software problems incurred during the September 11th attacks. This funding level will include upgrades including the secure video conferencing system, dedicated communication lines, and equipment and software that provide secure handling for classified information. This will enable effective, continuous communication with each modal administration during emergencies.

RELATED AGENCY


NATIONAL TRANSPORTATION SAFETY BOARD


SALARIES AND EXPENSES


The Committee recommends $465,000 for additional expenses of the National Transportation Safety Board arising from the September 11, 2001 attacks. The Board responded to each of the September 11th attack sites, and funds have been provided to cover the costs of such response.

CHAPTER 11


DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY


DEPARTMENTAL OFFICES


SALARIES AND EXPENSES


The Committee does not provide $9,400,000 for the administrative expenses related to the Air Transportation Stabilization Board. The Committee understands that the Department of the Treasury has been given responsibilities for administering the recently enacted guaranteed loan program for the airline industry and believes other sources of funds should be sought for this purpose.

UNITED STATES CUSTOMS SERVICE


SALARIES AND EXPENSES


The Committee provides $301,759,000 for Customs Salaries and Expenses. Of this, $160,146,000 is provided as a direct appropriation for critical border and port security staffing and technology, including $80,073,000 for critical personnel, primarily inspectors, agents, and canine enforcement officers at ports of entry, particularly for the northern border and $80,073,000 for similar increases for the 20 most vulnerable seaports. The Committee is supportive of additional resources for the Customs Service to meet new requirements and workload demands on the northern border and critical seaports including technology.

The Committee has also provided $141,613,000 to include: $107,500,000 as proposed by the Administration for response and recovery efforts; $21,303,000 to support enhanced overseas anti-money-laundering investigations; and $12,810,000 for a commercial backup facility for the Newington Data Center, which houses essential law enforcement, trade and other critical information and communication resources.

CHAPTER 12


DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS


DEPARTMENTAL ADMINISTRATION


GENERAL OPERATING EXPENSES


The Committee recommends $2,000,000 in General operating expenses for a comprehensive evaluation of all Veterans Affairs' processes and facilities to determine what improvements should be made to secure employees, veterans and continuity of services. The evaluation recommendations should include and consider other security actions and recommendations implemented by other Federal, State and local government agencies.

DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT


MANAGEMENT AND ADMINISTRATION


OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL


The Committee recommends $1,000,000 in the Office of Inspector General to replace office and investigative equipment, telephones, furniture, computers, vehicles and supplies damaged in the World Trade Center office due to the September 11, 2001 attacks.

INDEPENDENT AGENCIES


ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY


SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY


The Committee recommends $10,000,000 in Science and technology to assess and improve building security at EPA laboratory sites.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROGRAMS AND MANAGEMENT


The Committee recommends $140,360,000 in Environmental programs and management of which $30,000,000 is to assess and improve building security at EPA sites, $700,000 is to fund temporary relocation costs of the Region 2 New York office and replacement of computer and telecommunications equipment damaged due to the September 11, 2001 attacks, and $109,660,000 is for drinking water vulnerability assessments.

HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE SUPERFUND


The Committee recommends $5,800,000 in Hazardous substance superfund of which $5,500,000 is to establish a West Coast immediate response team to provide Federal, State, and local preparedness for attack mitigation and response, and $300,000 to fund temporary relocation costs of the Region 2 New York office and replacement of computer and telecommunications equipment damaged due to the September 11, 2001 attacks.

STATE AND TRIBAL ASSSISTANCE GRANTS


The Committee recommends $5,000,000 in State and tribal assistance grants to provide grants to State counter-terrorism coordinators to work with EPA and drinking water utilities in assessing drinking water safety.

FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY


DISASTER RELIEF


The Committee recommends $4,900,000,000 in Disaster relief to fund additional disaster relief efforts in New Jersey, New York and Virginia in response to the September 11, 2001 attacks. Funds are to help individual victims, remove debris from the World Trade Center site, and assist with rebuilding critical infrastructure. The amount provided includes funding for expenses related to traffic control and detours in New York City and for the repair and reconstruction of non-Federal-aid-eligible highways destroyed or damaged by the collapse of the World Trade Center buildings.

The Committee recognizes that many ambulance service providers, at the request of local, state and Federal officials, responded to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. Many ambulance providers traveled long distances to respond. Due to the sudden, horrific and enormous nature of the events of September 11, 2001 many of these providers did not have contracts

or other formal arrangements in place for services, but responded based on the direct verbal requests of local, state or Federal government officials. These ambulance providers incurred many costs, including personnel and overtime costs, fuel and travel expenses, and damaged and destroyed emergency vehicles and life saving equipment. Ambulance providers are critical local health and safety community resources. These additional costs and the potential loss of revenue diminish the providers' ability to serve their communities, hospitals and other health care facilities and patients. The Committee urges FEMA and state and local governments receiving Federal emergency assistance to reimburse fully and expeditiously these ambulance service providers.

EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PLANNING AND ASSISTANCE


The Committee recommends $35,000,000 for Emergency management planning and assistance, of which not less than $10,000,000 is to be used for enhancement of FEMA's ability to support the 2002 Winter Olympics. The Committee has not included the budget request of $550,000,000 for a grant program for first responder training and equipment within FEMA. The Committee notes that a grant program for first responders already exists within the Department of Justice and does not feel it is appropriate to duplicate that effort with a new FEMA program.

SALARIES AND EXPENSES


The Committee recommends $30,000,000 for Salaries and expenses, of which not less than $10,000,000 is to be used to enhance the capabilities of the National Security Division. The Committee remains concerned that neither FEMA nor the Office of Management and Budget has been able or willing to provide information regarding FEMA's role in Homeland Security or the status of the Office of National Preparedness and how this office will work with the established National Domestic Preparedness Office. Until the Committee is fully informed, it will continue to deny funding requests for the Office of National Preparedness.

NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION


HUMAN SPACE FLIGHT


The Committee recommends $81,000,000 in Human space flight, including $16,000,000 for information security, $60,000,000 for security and counterintelligence, and $5,000,000 for communications capabilities. The funds will provide resources for the costs being incurred for: additional security personnel and overtime compensation; modifications to security perimeters; construction of additional checkpoints; additional security monitoring and communications equipment; relocation of critical functions and personnel; and increased air and sea patrols at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

SCIENCE, AERONAUTICS AND TECHNOLOGY


The Committee recommends $36,500,000 in Science, aeronautics and technology, including $16,000,000 for information security, $15,000,000 for security and counterintelligence, and $5,500,000 for communications capabilities. These funds will provide resources for the costs being incurred for: additional security personnel and overtime compensation; modifications to security perimeters; construction of additional checkpoints; additional security monitoring and communications equipment; relocation of critical functions and personnel.

OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL


The Committee recommends $3,000,000 for the Office of Inspector General, for security and counterintelligence. These funds will provide additional personnel, criminal investigations, related training, travel, and security/intelligence equipment.

NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION


RESEARCH AND RELATED ACTIVITIES


The Committee recommends $300,000 in Research and related activities for additional security measures at NSF research and development facilities.

CHAPTER 13

ADDITIONAL VIEWS OF DAVID R. OBEY


In less than 300 years, the United States has grown from a tiny society in a remote corner of the world to the dominant power in global affairs. There are many reasons for that ascendancy but it is in no small measure tied to the fact that we have had two great oceans to protect us during times of trouble in Europe, Asia and Africa.

The security that those oceans gave the early settlers permitted greater degree of social order and the evolution of a society in which decisions were made by law rather than by force. The security provided a fertile ground for the growth of democratic institutions. It gave the American people the opportunity to pour their energies into generating wealth and building better lives for themselves and their families. It provided investors with a stable environment in which commercial activities would not be disrupted by foreign armies. The absence of foreign threat created conditions that allowed the potential for profit or loss to be gauged with greater accuracy and that contributed to the evolution of our complex financial system. The absence of foreign threats allowed us as a society to invest more in education, research and physical infrastructure.

But on September 11, the barriers that the oceans have provided against foreign troubles seemed to all but disappear. We entered a new era with not only an enormous loss of life and property but with a profound loss of the feeling of security that we now realize was one of our most unique and treasured national possessions.

The good news is that we have the wealth and technology to recover much of that lost security if we use it wisely. The first step down that road is the investment in enhanced domestic security made in this bill. Unfortunately, it does not go nearly as far as it should.

The President's budget staff has reported that federal agencies have submitted proposals for responding to the attacks of September 11th that total more than $127 billion. That staff argues that we should reject more than two thirds of those proposals. In a great many instances, their recommendation is correct. Some proposals represent little more than an attempt by certain agencies to use the present situation to repackage spending requests that have been repeatedly rejected in the past and which have little true relevance to enhancing security. There are other proposals that could significantly boost security but cannot be initiated in the near term even if funds are provided. Deferring action on those proposals will give both branches of government more time to evaluate our security needs and seek the most effective possible solutions. There are still other  proposals that solve particular security problems--but they are problems that can be dealt with for at least a short period of time in effective but less expensive ways, again providing more time to evaluate and prioritize needs.

But there are other proposals that the White House budget staff argues should be rejected where that conclusion seems not only wrong but also foolish and in some instances even mindless. These include such things as:

















I offered an amendment in the full Appropriations committee, which would have added $6.5 billion to begin to fix these and other security problems with resources that would be available immediately if the President chose to use them. (See table at end of these views for details) That amendment posed the question: `Should we act now on a specific number of time sensitive security enhancements or should we wait until next spring?' It is a question in which the American people have an enormous stake and should therefore be a matter of rigorous discussion.

The President's budget staff and the House Republican Leadership have remained solidly on the side of waiting. Despite the fact that my amendment was defeated by the committee by a vote of 34 to 31, it was clear, based on the public comments of a number of members who voted in the negative, that the amendment would have passed had it not been for instructions issued by House Republican leaders. Now it is up to the Full House to determine whether this proposal should be debated and voted on by all members of the body.

Unfortunately for the purposes of public discussion, some of the unmet needs are highly classified. Others while not formally classified could provide our adversaries with more information about our vulnerabilities than I feel comfortable discussing in print or in public. Nonetheless, the American people deserve to know as much as possible about how effectively the government is mobilizing available resources to protect them from further attacks and I hope the following discussion is useful in framing some of the problems and the need for addressing those problems sooner rather than later.

PROTECTING AGAINST BIOTERRORISM


Upgrading State and Local Health Departments and Hospitals

The amendment adds $277 million to the amount in the bill for assistance to state and local health departments, bringing the total to $700 million.

These agencies are the first line of defense against bioterrorism. They have the lead role in detecting suspicious disease outbreaks that may indicate a bioterrorist attack, in investigating outbreaks to determine the cause and source, in doing the lab analysis needed to identify pathogens and chemical poisons and to determine whether suspicious substances are actually harmful, in organizing distribution of preventive antibiotics and vaccines, and in communicating with health care providers and the public. Yet, many state and local health departments report serious gaps in their preparedness and capacity to respond to terrorism and to major naturally occurring disease outbreaks.

Several leading public health organizations are calling for at least $835 million in increased federal funding for state and local public health preparedness. The National Governors Association says $2 billion is needed for these purposes. The latest annual report from the advisory panel on domestic preparedness for terrorism involving weapons of mass destruction, which is chaired by Governor Gilmore of Virginia, recommends appropriation of sufficient resources to fully fund the CDC's Strategic Plan for Preparedness and Response to Biological and Chemical Terrorism.

The Committee's bill takes a good first step, by adding $358 million to the President's proposal of just $65 million. But considerably more needs to be done.

Some of the additional funds in the Democratic amendment would be used to upgrade the capacity of state and local public health labs. This would include, for example bio-safety upgrades, so that the labs can more safely handle dangerous pathogens like anthrax; equipment and training to perform rapid molecular analysis to accurately identify the major potential bioterrorism agents far more quickly than the 1-3 days often required for older techniques (well under half the labs in the bioterrorism response network have any capacity in this area, and many of those need enhancements); and equipment and training to perform `rapid toxic screens' for possible chemical terrorism agents in human samples (only five state health labs have this capacity now).

The funds added by the Democratic amendment would also be used for a number of other important purposes, including better epidemiological surveillance (so that more areas can undertake active programs to watch for unusual disease events, rather than just collecting reports from doctors and hospitals after diagnoses have been made); more capacity to investigate disease outbreaks; and more training for public health and laboratory personnel.

The amendment also provides $15 million for public health and laboratory training programs, to help upgrade skills and alleviate shortages of trained personnel.

Expanded CDC Support of State and Local Health Departments

Although CDC is a major producer of `distance learning' and other training materials for health professionals nationwide and worldwide, CDC's production facilities date to the 1950s, much of its broadcast equipment is outmoded and in need of frequent repair, and studio space is cramped and inflexible. The amendment therefore provides $85 million to start construction of CDC's proposed new Scientific Communications Center (no such funds are included in the Committee bill). The new center would greatly improve CDC's ability to provide distance learning and other public health training, as well as to communicate with state and local health departments, health care providers, and the public during health emergencies. Some of the additional funds could also be used to accelerate completion of infectious disease and environmental toxicology labs.

The amendment also adds $40 million to the $50 million in the Committee bill for other CDC needs, such as laboratory upgrades and development and dissemination of new rapid testing methods to detect biological and chemical terrorism agents.

Accelerating Research on Biohazards, Detection, and Treatment

Currently, no vaccines are available against some of the diseases thought to pose significant bioterrorism risks (plague and most viral hemorrhagic fevers, for example), and concerns about side effects limit the usefulness of other vaccines such as those against smallpox and anthrax. There are also no known drug therapies for some of the major bioterrorism threats, including smallpox. Clearly, more research is needed in these areas.

The Democratic amendment would provide $115 million to NIH to pursue an accelerated biomedical research agenda related to preventing and treating potential bioterrorism-related diseases. In contrast, the Committee bill provides just $50 million and the President proposes no additional funding at all. Research areas that would be funded by the amendment include new ways of treating adverse reactions to smallpox vaccine, development of the next generation of smallpox vaccine, development of a new and safer anthrax vaccine as well as improved means of treating anthrax, use of antiviral drugs to treat diseases like smallpox and Ebola, and development of vaccines for other diseases of concern, such as Ebola, plague and Q-fever.

Bio-Safety Laboratories at NIH and Fort Detrick

Work with dangerous disease organisms like smallpox and its relatives and Ebola fever requires very specialized facilities to protect the health of researchers and prevent organisms from escaping. Currently, there are only three labs in the country with the highest-level bio-safety features (`Level 4') needed to work with the most dangerous pathogens. Researchers at NIH tell us that this is an insufficient number, and that long waiting times for lab access are hampering work needed to help us better understand these diseases and develop better vaccines and drugs to fight them. Therefore, the amendment provides $85 million for constructing and equipping two new high-biosafety-level labs at NIH, including a Level 4 lab.

Further, the Level 4 lab at the Army medical research institute at Fort Detrick has been playing a major role in testing specimens during the recent anthrax incidents, and its capacity has been greatly strained as a result. Over the last six weeks it has tested almost ten times the number of samples it usually handles in a year. If we had another similar incident, the system could fail. The amendment therefore includes $482 million for a large new Level 4 lab at Fort Detrick.

SECURING THE MAIL


The Postal Service is a critical component of $900 billion mailing industry that employs nine million people and is responsible for eight percent of the gross domestic product. It is also a daily presence in the lives of Americans in every community across the Nation. The Postal Service is now on the front lines fighting against recent bioterrorist attacks. Tragically, this war has resulted in four deaths, two of them Postal employees. Americans are afraid of the mail now. Initial estimates of mail volumes for September 5 through October 8 declined by 6.6 percent compared to the same period a year earlier. First-Class Mail volume declined 2 percent; Priority Mail declined 15 percent; and Standard Mail fell 11 percent from their levels a year ago.

The Postal Service is working with private contractors and experts from across the Federal government to identify technology to restore faith in the mail system, protect Postal employees, and ensure the safety of the American people in the aftermath of this unprecedented threat. The Postal Service has already initiated contracts to use electronic beam and x-ray technology to sterilize limited amounts of mail. It is continuing to assess the use of these technologies, and others, to determine the best type of equipment for mail sanitation. The initial results are expected in a matter of weeks. The Postal Service is also exploring the use of detection technology and improved cleaning and filtration systems to ensure that the sanitization process works and that the employees and Postal customers are safe.

This bill does not do anything to protect our mail system. The Obey amendment would have provided $500 million for immediate Postal equipment needs. We know this will not cover the total need. The Postal Service has indicated they may need as much as $3 billion. The Obey amendment would make a down payment on mail security though, and it would be done in a fiscally responsible way by requiring a plan before the Postal Service could spend any of these funds.

AIRPORT AND AIRLINE SAFETY


Since September 11th there have been two main priorities to ensure the security of our nation's airplanes. One is to detect dangerous substances and people by enhancing the screening of bags and passengers and increasing law enforcement at airports. The second is to stop any terrorist who enters a plane by increasing the number of federal air marshals and by securing cockpit doors. The Obey amendment includes the additional funding for air marshals included in the Committee bill and the full funding requested by the President for cockpit doors. The President's proposal includes the cockpit door funding, but not the funding for additional air marshals. The Committee bill includes the air marshal funding, but only one-sixth of what the President requested for cockpit doors.

September 11th happened because terrorists were able to enter the cockpits of three airplanes. The Obey amendment provides an additional $250 million to prevent this from ever happening again and would fully fund the President's request of $300 million. Today, the airlines have made some improvements so that cockpit doors cannot be as easily broken into, such as the strengthening of bolts.

The President proposed $300 million so that modifications can be made to secure the cockpit door in such a way as to permanently prevent an intruder from entering the cockpit door. The funding requested by the President and included in the amendment would be provided to airlines to ensure that all aircraft cockpit doors are modified as quickly as possible. Shortly after September 11th, the President said that he intended to provide $500 million in cockpit door funding.

Since September 11th the Federal Aviation Administration has imposed additional security requirements on our nation's airports, and rightly so. Increased patrols of ticket counters, baggage claim and make-up areas, and screening checkpoints have been mandated, as has increased inspections of controlled access points and the areas outside the airport. Airports have also been required to re-issue all airport identification and verify such identification at all access gates.

To meet these additional requirements, the airports have incurred additional costs, primarily for additional law enforcement officers and overtime. The American Association of Airport Executives estimates the cost of these additional requirements to be about $500 million this year. These increased costs come at a time when airports are losing money due to decreased air travel and fewer people able to visit airport shops and eateries; the airports estimate the total revenue decrease to be $2 billion in 2002, or 20% of estimated revenue. The Obey amendment includes $200 million to assist airports in meeting the costs of the increased security requirements mandated by the FAA.

LAW ENFORCEMENT


Since September 11, Federal and State law enforcement agents have been overwhelmed. Most of our agents and officers were trained to combat traditional threats, such as robbery and drug trafficking; now they are being asked to address the most complex and dangerous threat our Nation has faced in recent memory. Our law enforcement agencies are dedicated to bringing the perpetrators of this attack to justice. However, they are overworked and armed with outdated tools and equipment. To help address critical investigative and infrastructure needs, the FBI requested $1.5 billion. The Administration only requested, and this bill only contains, $539 million. They Obey amendment includes a total of $1.1 billion for this critical agency to combat this new threat with 21st Century tools.

The FBI has been the lead Federal agency for investigating terrorist activity. All 56 FBI field offices are involved in the investigation. Agents are following up on hundreds of thousands of leads and tips. They need modern tools to address this staggering workload. Problems with document control and data processing encountered during the McVeigh investigation underscore these needs. According to the FBI, more than 13,000 of their desktop computers are four to eight years old and unable to run today's basic software. Many smaller offices are connected to our internal network at speeds less than most individual Internet users have at their homes. Agents are unable to electronically store much investigative information--such as photographs or graphics--into investigative databases data.

The Obey amendment includes $409 million, $304 million above the Administration's request, to improve the FBI's computer systems. These funds will provide upgraded desktop equipment for FBI field offices, enabling the FBI to access to information more quickly, allowing them to finish this spring instead of in 2004. This funding will also allow the FBI to begin converting paper files to electronic so that it can continue operating if paper files in any of the field offices are destroyed, maintain better control over criminal records, and perform more efficient investigations. Without these computer tools, it will be virtually impossible for the FBI to efficiently manage a terrorist investigation of the size and scope that we are facing now. The Obey amendment also provides additional funds to hire more high-tech `cyber cops' and hazardous materials personnel; improve DNA analysis and surveillance programs; and make infrastructure and personnel improvements.

KEEPING WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION AWAY FROM TERRORISTS


One of the most fundamental steps in protecting U.S. citizens from terrorist attacks is keeping dangerous weapons out of the hands of those who would use them against us. This requires greater efforts for securing of federal, non-federal and even foreign sources of materials for these weapons than is permitted within the amounts requested by OMB.

Securing Biological Agents

The bill as reported by the Committee contains $156,700,000 as requested by the Administration for improved security at the Center for Disease Control, National Institute of Health, Food and Drug Administration, and the U.S. Departments of Agriculture and Energy. The Democratic amendment would provide an additional $1,008,000,000 to meet the needs of these and other agencies that have been identified after the September 11 terrorist attack on our nation.

Nuclear Non-Proliferation

Russian President Vladimir Putin said that nuclear proliferation `is one of the foremost threats of contemporary times.' President George Bush stated `Our highest priority is to keep terrorists from acquiring weapons of mass destruction.' But the Administration's budget request and the bill reported by the Committee contain no funds for nuclear non-proliferation activities in Russia, which is perhaps the major deficiency of this bill, which provides only $18,000,000 for non-proliferation technology activities. The Minority amendment instead provides $316,000,000 more to the Department of Energy for non-proliferation and intelligence activities:

 $131,000,000 for protection against the use of spent nuclear fuel as `dirty bombs' by terrorists, consolidation of nuclear materials and weapons within Russia, accelerated physical security over Russian Navy nuclear weapons, and increased nuclear monitoring equipment at the Russian border to detect smuggling.

 $60,000,000 to assist Russia to improve physical security of Soviet-designed nuclear power plants and to assist the United Nations in detecting and inspecting undeclared nuclear activities in countries that support terrorism.

 $77,000,000 for non-proliferation technology development. Some of these funds are for global surveillance and monitoring of illicit movement of nuclear materials overseas by terrorist. The rest of the funds are to develop tools for law enforcement and military applications; chemical-agent systems for use in subways and at sporting or other highly populated events; helicopter-based biological agent detection systems; and an advanced airport baggage inspector for trace quantities of illicit chemicals or explosive residues.

 $30,000,000 for Russian nuclear and biological scientists, who are susceptible to recruitment by terrorists. These funds are to convert Russian biological weapons facilities to civilian vaccine production, and to provide seed funds to Russian scientists to develop and market new technologies.

 $18,000,000 for improved intelligence concerning illicit nuclear materials.

Assured Security of U.S. Nuclear Weapons

The bill as reported by the Committee contains $99,700,000, which is $18,000,000 less than requested by the Administration, for the Department of Energy to improve the security of U.S. nuclear weapons and materials. The Minority amendment

provides an additional $503,000,000 to the Department of Energy to provide better protection against terrorist incidents at U.S. federal nuclear facilities:

 $84,000,000 for hardening of U.S. nuclear material and weapons storage to include construction projects, additional force protection, replacement of aging protective systems, and replacement of alarm, detection, and assessment systems.

 $57,000,000 for increased security at Department of Energy environmental cleanup sites that contain radioactive and other toxic materials.

 $35,000,000 for secure transportation of nuclear weapons, to include enhancement of operations centers, transportation infrastructure upgrades, and improvements to special response force vehicles.

 $327,000,000 million for cybersecurity, bioterrorism, and classified activities at Pantex, Texas.

Chemicals and Chemical Weapons

The bill as reported by the Committee contains no funds to address security risks associated with chemicals and chemical weapons. The Minority amendment provides an additional $85,000,000:

 $50,000,000 for assessing vulnerability to and reducing risks associated with the storage of dangerous chemicals within the United States. Treatment plants store large quantities of chemicals, primarily chlorine, as a disinfectant for wastewater. About 60 percent of wastewater is treated by fewer than 300 facilities--which, by their nature, are near population centers. This poses a large risk to those population centers. In addition, there is concern that the nation's wastewater infrastructure could serve as a conduit for hazardous substances or other threats. Wastewater collection systems form an extensive network that runs near or beneath key buildings and roads, and is contiguous to many communication and transportation networks.

 $350,000,000 for improved security at four Department of Defense sites that store tons of chemical weapons.

Oversight of Labs Handling Dangerous Bacteria and Viruses

Numerous laboratories throughout the country handle and store dangerous pathogens that are considered major bioterrorism risks. While there are benefits to research work with these organisms, they must be handled, stored, transferred and disposed of safely in order to prevent them from falling into the wrong hands (or being released accidentally into the environment).

CDC is required by law to regulate labs that transfer or receive certain dangerous organisms (known as `select agents'), to make sure that proper procedures and safeguards are in place. However, only 9 staff are currently assigned to this function. Of the roughly 250 labs registered under the program, CDC has been able to inspect only about 60. There is also a backlog in simply processing applications for registration (which involve detailed documentation regarding handling and safety procedures).

The Democratic amendment would provide $10,000,000 to CDC for oversight and regulation of labs handling dangerous organisms. Neither the President's proposal nor the Committee bill expressly provide any additional funds for this purpose.

It also provides $9,000,000 for improved security at Ft. Detrick MD, which is one of the most important defenses against bioterrorism, and well as home for important classified activities. This will fund some of the basics for force protection: fencing, gates, barricades and a remote inspection facility.

Other Federal Security Requirements

The bill as reported by the Committee contains $58,000,000 for a number of federal agencies to secure dangerous materials. The Minority amendment provides an additional $64,000,000 for improved security at the National Institutes of Health, the Food and Drug Administration, and the Department of Agriculture.

IMMIGRATION AND BORDER SECURITY


Well before September 11, it became clear that we needed to harden security along the Northern Border. There are 128 Northern Border ports and stations. There are 64 ports and stations along the Northern Border that historically have not been open 24 hours per day. Some of these locations were secured by placing traffic cones in the road and using signs to detour travelers to another processing center. The Congress recognized these deficiencies when it passed the USA PATRIOT Act, which authorized tripling the number of border personnel at the ports of entry along the Northern Border. The public needs to understand, however, that not one additional dime was provided to any federal agency to deal with the problems with the passage of this act. That legislation provides lawmakers who wish to do so with the opportunity to tell their constituents that they voted for the authority to provide such services without discussing whether or not they voted for the funds required to implement that authority. That can only be provided in actual appropriations and this is the only appropriation bill left in this session that could contain such funding.

Despite the porous security on the Northern Border and the lessons learned from the Millennium bombing conspiracy, the Administration did not request any additional funds to expand the Customs Service Northern Border hiring initiative. This bill cut funds needed to secure federal buildings and protect federal workers in order to increase spending for Northern Border Customs agents by $80 million over the request. That is still not enough. The Obey amendment would have provided $145 million in line with the Service's request, to complete the hiring of 790 additional Customs agents and the purchase of new inspection technology.

The bill provides a total of $409.6 million for critical personnel, equipment and technology needs of the Immigration and Naturalization Service. The Obey amendment would have provided an additional $128 million above the amount for the most critical construction and facility needs of the INS. While staffing levels for INS inspectors and Border Patrol agents have increased dramatically over the past six years, including an additional 300 land point of entry inspectors funded in this supplemental package, facility expansions have not kept pace. For the Border Patrol alone, facility shortfalls exceed 60 percent of requirements. Use of trailers and temporary facilities are common, and in many cases agents have no adequate space in which to detain arrestees. The Obey amendment addresses the highest priority construction needs for the INS, and represents a down payment toward meeting INS's detention and other facility requirements.

PORT SECURITY


The Obey amendment includes a total of $915 million to improve security at our nation's ports. There are 361 public ports in the United States and they conduct over 95 percent of United States overseas trade.

The Interagency Commission on Crime and Security in U.S. Seaports reported in Fall 2000 that the state of security in U.S. seaports generally ranges from poor to fair and that control of access to the seaport or sensitive areas within the seaports is often lacking. The Commission found that criminal organizations are exploiting weak security in ports to commit a wide range of cargo and that the volunerability of American ports to potential terrorist attack is high. The Commission recommended minimum security guidelines for U.S. seaports and the implementation of a five-year crime and security technology deployment plan.

The Obey amendment includes $200 million for grants to U.S. seaports for security assessment and enhancements. The 14 deepwater seaports in Florida alone estimate that $80 million is needed to fully implement critical security measures that have been identified. Many ports have not even begun the process of identifying needed security measures. The funds provided in the amendment can be used for such assessments and for implementation of such measures once assessments are performed.

The Customs Service only inspects 2 percent of the 600,000 cargo containers entering our seaports every day. The Administration requested no new funding for additional Customs agents at the Nation's seaports. The Committee bill only contains approximately $80 million. The Obey amendment includes $147 million for 841 new Customs inspectors and to continue the purchase of new inspection equipment at our 20 most vulnerable seaports.

The Obey amendment also includes $368 million for the Coast Guard, $223 million more than the Committee bill. The Coast Guard has substantially increased operation since September 11th and devoted the majority of its operations to ensuring that our nation's ports are secure. Prior to September 11, Coast Guard operations were spread evenly to drug interdiction, search and rescue, fisheries enforcement, port security and navigation aids. Today, almost 60% of Coast Guard operations are devoted to port security. The amendment fully funds the President's request of $203 million for increased Coast Guard operations for six months of FY 2002. The Committee bill funds only $145 million of the President's request. The amendment also includes $165 million for increased Coast Guard operations for the remainder of FY 2002. While it may be necessary in the future to provide even additional Coast Guard port security funding, at a minimum it is necessary to ensure that Coast Guard active duty personnel do not decrease after March 31, 2001.

TRAIN AND BUS SECURITY


September 11th demonstrated how critical both rail and intercity buses are to our transportation system. When our nation's aviation system was shut down, many people used intercity buses, Amtrak and other passenger rail systems to reach their destinations.

Since September 11th, all of our transportation systems have reviewed their security posture. Our motor coach and passenger rail systems have very limited security today. Buses and rail systems are terrorist targets in other countries and the amendment includes $200 million to fund some limited security improvements. Amtrak has identified over $500 million of security needs, including fencing, increased guards, and alarm systems. Motor coach companies have identified some limited steps that they can take to increase security, by establishing communications systems linked to police, screening passengers and installing cameras and estimate the costs of such improvements to be about $100 million.

FOOD AND WATER SAFETY


The issue of ensuring the safety of imported food was important before September 11th, and it is even more important afterwards.

Most Americans would probably be astounded to know that the FDA is only able to inspect seven-tenths of one percent of the imports under its jurisdiction.

FDA itself told the subcommittee this year, `FDA wants to assure the safety of the imported food supply, however, our resources have not kept pace with the increase in trade.'

The FY 2002 Agriculture Appropriations bill does provide full funding of this year's pay raise for FDA personnel, which will help ease constraints on the agency's budget.

But the events of September 11th require us to do more.

In its November 5th issue, Newsweek included the following item:

 `Am I satisfied with the inspections we're doing? No,' said [Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy] Thompson. `I am more fearful about this than anything else.' [Emphasis added.]

The FDA told the Agriculture Subcommittee this year that getting to a level of 10% inspection on imports would cost about $300 million.

This bill (like the Administration's request) will add $46 million for import inspection. The amendment offered by Rep. Obey would have included all the funds in this bill for the FDA, but would have provided an additional $239 million, for a total of $300 million, to meet the full cost identified above to reach 10% inspection. In addition, it would have provided $20 million for investigative and emergency operations activities at FDA.

Water supply systems are vulnerable to many kinds of terrorist attacks: physical attack, chemical and biological attack. Sabotaging our drinking water system, through biological or chemical terrorism is, for good reason, a large concern to the general public. Unfortunately, poisoning our drinking water is not difficult feat--a fire hydrant could be used as the conduit for contaminating our drinking water. Contaminating water supplies is rooted in history and while the stories are difficult to document, we know that they have occurred. There have been a few attempts to position a water supply in the United States. One occurred in New York City in the mid-1980s when low levels of plutonium were found in the drinking water. In another instance, a cult contaminant a city water supply tank with salmonella in Dalles, Oregon which resulted in more than 750 cases of salmonellos is in a county that typically has fewer than five cases a year. Given the lack of security of our water supply system facilities, contamination of our drinking water supply is highly possible.

The physical security of our water supply system is also of great concern. Our water systems are highly vulnerable to explosion or disruptions in the pumping and electrical systems. Often, the water plants are older facilities with pumps 60-80 years old and many of these pumps have no spare parts meaning that they must be sent out for repair. Some of the smaller water supply plants have no one manning the water facility at all.

Finally, community water supplies are generally designed to deliver water through the use of pressure and usually supply most of the water for fire-fighting purposes. Sabotaging pumps that maintain flow and pressure or disabling electric power sources could cause long term disruption. Long term loss of the water supply or water pressure could adversely affect our ability to fight a fire or cause numerous other problems.

This amendment would provide an additional $80 million to secure our drinking water systems--for vulnerability assessments, remedial work, emergency operating plants and research for 750 large and medium-sized water systems as well as 600 small systems. These funds will help to secure our drinking water supplies and to protect the American public.

SECURITY OF GOVERNMENT BUILDINGS AND FACILITIES


There are over 2.7 million U.S. Federal employees around the world. In the aftermath of the September 11th, there is a renewed sensitivity to the threat that is posed to Federal employees. To many around the world, Federal employees are a symbol of America. Unfortunately, not all Federal employees enjoy the protection that we have here in the Capitol. Federal employees are targets. We learned that tragic lessons the hard way in Oklahoma. We were reminded of this lesson on September 11. The President requested $201 million through the General Service Administration to enhance security at Federal facilities and begin finding replacement space for dislocated Federal employees in New York. This bill only provides $88 million to address these issues. The Obey amendment would fully fund the President's request.

The amendment offered by the Minority includes $29,300,000 to design and construct perimeter security and a visitor screening facility to protect the Washington Monument. The Washington Monument because of its symbolic value and its panoramic view of the Washington Mall, the Pentagon and the Northern Virginia area is classified as the number one potential terrorist target by the U.S. Park Police. It has been the target of three significant attacks since 1979 including hostage, sniper and truck bomb threats. New security systems for the Monument were in development prior to the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 and provisions of funding in the Emergency Supplemental will allow construction of these upgrades to begin immediately, An additional $5,346,000 is proposed by the minority for perimeter security upgrades at the Jefferson Memorial and $7,078,000 for similar upgrades at the Lincoln Memorial.

The Obey amendment also provides a total of $186,500,000, an increase of $155,000,000 over the base bill, for the security needs of the Federal Judiciary. While the President's request for the supplemental fully funded the security needs of the White House and the Legislative Branch, only 7 percent of the Judiciary's identified immediate security needs were included in the request. The Obey amendment would only provide only about one-third of the identified need, but would provide for: enhanced security systems and equipment at courthouses nationwide; an emergency communications system to ensure that judges and court administrators can maintain contact with the Administrative Office of the U.S.Courts; specific security needs at the Thurgood Marshall Federal Judiciary Building, which is adjacent to the Capitol Complex; increased security requirements to address the biological/chemical threat posed in the screening of mail to the Judiciary; and the installation of protective window film at certain court facilities nationwide.

NASA

NASA's Kennedy Space Center is a symbol of American achievement and international cooperation. This Center and other NASA facilities are potentially high-profile terrorist targets. In order to prepare for and ensure a robust capability to mitigate

terrorist attacks we must provide the necessary funds. This amendment, similar to the Majority's proposal, includes additional funds for securing NASA facilities.

National Water Infrastructure

The bill as reported by the Committee contains $139,000,000 for the Army Corps of Engineers and $30,259,000 for the Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation as requested by the Administration to partially meet the security requirements identified by these agencies after the September 11 terrorist attack on our nation. Together, these agencies operate hydroelectric power facilities, dams, locks, and commercial waterways in all 50 states. The Committee bill funds only 52 percent of what the Army Corps of Engineers and only 38 percent of that the Bureau of Reclamation identified as their counter-terrorism security requirements in fiscal year 2002.

The amendment which the Majority offered unsuccessfully in Committee and hopes to offer in the House would provide an additional $168 million over the Committee bill to fully fund that the Army Corps of Engineers and the Bureau of Reclamation have identified to provide adequate physical security to their most critical facilities in fiscal year 2002. The additional funds are necessary to minimize the risk of terrorist disruption to shipment of commercial goods over the nation's waterways, and to reduce the risk of a terrorist attack on a federal dam, which could result in tremendous loss of life, economic disruption, and severe environmental damage.

After the terrorist attacks, the Army Corps of Engineers designated 372 facilities as `critical' that needed immediate increased surveillance and protection against terrorist attack. These needs include increased personnel and overtime compensation to maintain additional guards; restricting/controlling vehicular traffic over dams; deploying barriers, barricades, bollards, and gates; increasing electronic surveillance of locks, dams, and powerhouses; and conducting detailed vulnerability assessments.

The Bureau of Reclamation operates 362 `high-hazard' and `significant-hazard' dams and hydroelectric facilities in 17 western states. Hazard ratings are based on the potential for loss of life and property damage downstream. Three of the Bureau's dams are listed as National Critical Infrastructure. The Administration's budget request and this bill provides only 78 percent of the guards, 24 percent of the equipment, and none of the funds for cyber-security that the Bureau requested from the Office of Management and Budget for counter-terrorism security.

Security Upgrades for U.S. Military Facilities

The Office of Management and Budget estimates that we have over $2.4 billion in unmet security needs for our military installations, but none was requested by the Administration for this supplemental. Recognizing that the security of our bases, weapons, as well as the men and women who serve us, the Committee included $80,000,000, certainly needed by not even adequate to meet the highest priority needs.

The Obey amendment included $355,000,000 to address this problem. In the United States, many of our bases have been open to the public, or traversed by major highways and other public roads. In an open society, we want to keep these facilities as open as possible, but at the same time we must increase their security. The funds in the amendment are not for glamorous solutions, but the basics: fencing and perimeter roads to provide a first line of defense, barriers, gates and guardhouses for traffic control, and remote facilities so that trucks and shipments could be inspected without endangering nearby facilities.

SECURITY FOR SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES


The Obey Amendment adds $100,000,000 to the Committee bill to help schools, colleges and universities across the country to conduct essential emergency preparedness activities and to implement security improvements. Because academics come first, schools and institutions of higher education have not had adequate funds to prepare for unanticipated, crisis events caused by bio-terrorism, suspicious packages, bomb threats, and school shootings.

Many schools and colleges lack the emergency communications equipment needed to get real-time information from emergency responders during a crisis. Schools report a need for funds to train school security personnel, students and staff in evacuation and emergency procedures. Moreover, they report a need to upgrade security equipment and technology, particularly electronic access control and intrusion detection systems, video surveillance equipment, and emergency management systems and communications equipment.

For example, a New Jersey school district with over 4,000 students reports:

 We have many parents who work in Manhattan. When a disaster such as the WTC tragedy occurs, when a train is `bombed' as it was several years ago, or when there is a weather-related disaster, we improvise our own emergency relief plan with our staff, parents, and local law enforcement officers until parent returns home. This is particularly difficult as two of our eight schools are in `dead areas' that will not allow for wireless communication. Funding to improve communications is needed * * *. Our funds are dedicated to provide as strong as possible educational programs focused on each and every child becoming a life-long learner. Therefore, it should be no surprise to any of our legislators that we've not budgeted for new locks, extra security guards, new doors, state of the art communications systems, remodeling of office space. All of our efforts have been spent on instruction and learning.

The Obey Amendment includes the $10,000,000 requested by the President for emergency assistance to school districts for mental health and other services that are needed after a traumatic event occurs.

However, we have an obligation to help safeguard our children, teachers, faculty and education staff by helping schools, colleges, and universities to be proactive in

assessing their emergency response capabilities and security needs before another tragedy.

OTHER SECURITY


Foreign Language Training

The Obey Amendment adds $20,000,000 to the Committee bill for a National Security Foreign Language Initiative to increase the number of international experts, including those entering government service, with in-depth expertise and language proficiency in the targeted world areas of Central and South Asia, the Middle East, Russia, and the Independent states of the former Soviet Union.

Our national security, stability and economic vitality depend, in part, on American experts who have sophisticated language skills and cultural knowledge about the various areas of the world. An urgent need exists, in particular, to enhance the fluency of U.S. citizens in languages relevant to understanding societies where Islamic and/or Muslim culture, politics, religion, and economy are a significant factor. There was no better illustration of this critical need than the FBI Director's call on September 17th for U.S. citizens who are fluent in Arabic, Persian, or Pashto to enlist as contract linguists to help with the nation's probe into the September 11th attacks.

The Obey Amendment will help correct our deficit in foreign language and international expertise. No American university, for example, currently offers foreign language training in Pashto, the main language of the Taliban. Fewer than 1% of American college students are studying in languages deemed by Department of Defense to be critical to national security. The additional $20 million will provide financial assistance to colleges and universities to double our current level of effort to train experts in targeted languages, including Arabic, Azeri, Armenian, Dari, Hindi, Kazakh, Persian, Pashto, Tajik, Turkish, Turkmen, Uzbek, and Urdu. The funds also would be used to enhance the capacity of U.S. higher education institutions to sustain these programs over time.

Domestic Preparedness Assistance Program for First Responders

The amendment offered at Full Committee would also have provided an increase of $150,000,000 over the $400,000,000 in the Majority's package for Department of Justice state and local domestic preparedness assistance for first responders, in accordance with plans for this program developed by each State and approved by the Department of Justice, rather than a duplicative program under the Federal Emergency Management Agency as proposed by the Administration. Funds provided would have been available for additional domestic preparedness equipment grants, training exercises, technical assistance, and related research and development.

Grants for Firefighters

This amendment provides an additional $150 million for grants to firefighters. Often, firefighters are our first responders to an emergency and they certainly played a large role in the response to the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center on September 11. The Urban and Search and Rescue teams that are used in terrorist incidents such as this are primarily made up of firefighters and in fact, eight tasks forces were deployed to New York City to support the New York Fire Department at Ground Zero. Additional monies for these grants could be used to train firefighter personnel, purchase vehicles and equipment, and protective equipment--all items needed to support our firefighters.

CONCLUSION


This proposal was put together in a condensed time frame and by a staff with limited resources to explore the needs and responsibilities of all of the agencies and activities of the federal government. Informed and thoughtful people may well differ with specific recommendations contained in this package. In doing so they may well improve its content. Such is the normal nature of the legislative process. What is not normal and should not be acceptable, particularly under the current circumstances, is to push such proposals aside without proper debate and based only on the argument that nothing more can be done to protect the American people until next spring because they do not fit within an arbitrary spending ceiling that was neither debated nor agreed to by the Congress.

We have already suffered a remarkable level of damage at the hands of terrorists. Few would have predicted that a single act by a single terrorist organization could have resulted in a loss of life or loss of property and loss of economic growth of the magnitude that we have experienced. Every day that our ports and borders are inadequately guarded is another day of opportunity for those who wish us ill. Every day that nuclear and chemical stockpiles in the former Soviet Union are kept in facilities without adequate security is also an opportunity for such individuals. Once they have achieved control over these materials or succeeded in slipping them across U.S. borders our only hope will be a larger and more effective law enforcement effort. Every day we delay in providing that effort is another day that they have a better chance in making another successful attack.

If the House of Representatives is to decide that we should not spend the amounts needed to further tighten domestic security, it should not be on the basis of a vote in a single committee in which a majority of those present and voting would have reversed the outcome, given the dictates of their own conscience and judgments.

ADDITIONAL VIEWS OF HON. JAMES T. WALSH, HON. NITA LOWEY, HON. MAURICE D. HINCHEY, AND HON. JOSE E. SERRANO


The bipartisan New York Congressional Appropriations delegation strongly opposes the Committee's failure to include additional contingent emergency spending for the critical recovery efforts in New York City. The Committee's actions directly contradict the language of the 2001 Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act for Recovery from and Response to Terrorist Attacks on the United States (P.L. 107-38). P.L. 107-38 explicitly states:

 That not less than one-half of the $40,000,000,000 shall be for disaster recovery activities and assistance related to the terrorist acts in New York, Virginia and Pennsylvania on September 11, 2001

We expect that the Congress and the Bush Administration will keep its commitment to provide $20 billion for these activities out of the funding available in P.L. 107-38. We understand the pressing needs for national security and homeland defense created by the September 11 attacks, which is why we drafted our amendment as a contingent emergency to give the President money in the bank to spend when needed. We believe this is the best way to deal with the extraordinary expenses--detailed below--arising from the attack on New York. We appreciate the President's willingness to ask for more funding when he believes it is necessary. With Congress heading into a long recess, we believe it would be better to have this authority in hand immediately.

Nearly 5,000 people are dead or still missing as a result of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center. New York City, New York State, and the entire metropolitan region have lost billions in property and economic damages. In the days following September 11, Governor George Pataki and Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, with input from business, industry, and labor, developed a comprehensive list of the most immediate needs and highest priorities for the promised $20 billion in relief. This list was developed in full consultation with all interested parties and was endorsed by the entire 31-member New York Congressional delegation.

In the first days following the attack, 25,000 New York residents were displaced from their homes; today, more than two months after the attack, 5,000 people are still unable to go home. The attack completely destroyed more than 16 million square feet of hotel and office space, while doing damage to millions more, resulting in the dislocation of 838 major companies. In addition, 15,000 small businesses were destroyed, disabled, or significantly disrupted. As a direct result of the attacks, New York lost more than 108,500 jobs. This figure does not include the thousands more than have been lost in the City, State, and metropolitan region during the last two months as the effects of the attacks rippled through the economy. The New York City Partnership and Chamber of Commerce estimate that New York will lose $83 billion in economic activity this year.

The City and State both sustained huge losses, not only through the destruction of critical infrastructure, but also through the estimated loss of $12 billion in revenue over the next 18 months. In addition, the City lost $1.4 billion in destroyed or damaged police, fire, and sanitation equipment. The World Trade Center sat on top of a major transit hub, and subway and commuter rail stations were destroyed when the towers collapsed. As a result, the subway system in lower Manhattan has lost 42 percent of its capacity. It will cost at least $3 billion to remediate and repair these facilities. The West Side Highway and other roads surrounding the World Trade Center were severely damaged, and the estimated cost of repairs is at least $250 million.

The Borough of Manhattan Community College, part of the City University of New York, sustained nearly $300 million in damages to buildings and equipment at its campus when Seven World Trade Center collapsed. New York City public school students lost thousands of hours of classroom time that will need to be made up before the end of the year, costing the Board of Education at least $100 million.

Public utilities in and around Ground Zero also suffered major losses. Electrical power to lower Manhattan was disrupted by the complete destruction of two electricity substations located in the World Trade Center complex. In addition, five transmission feeders and associated equipment supplying the substations were severely damaged. The 24-inch steam distribution main (approximately 1,500 feet of steam piping) that ran beneath the WTC complex and approximately 500 feet of steam main adjacent to the WTC is presumed destroyed pending access and excavation of the site. Finally, 11,000 feet of natural gas distribution lines in and around the WTC complex were damaged or destroyed.

Telecommunications systems were also severely damaged when numerous switches that route telephone calls were damaged or destroyed. Several hundred cables transporting telephone service from those switches to customers in the surrounding neighborhoods were crushed and/or water damaged. Two million circuits were severely damaged at the New York Stock Exchange. By working 24 hours a day for almost a week, Verizon reconstructed the telephone lines in order to get the New York Stock Exchange up and running by September 17.

The most popular public radio station in New York, WNYC-FM, and the nation's largest public television station, Thirteen/WNET-TV, sustained at least $15 million in damages. WNYC's FM transmitter and antenna, as well as its backup FM transmitter were destroyed in the collapse of the North Tower. Thirteen/WNET-TV was knocked off the air for five days and lost an engineer, who was working at the transmitters site atop Tower One. With the collapse of the World Trade Center buildings, Thirteen lost both its analog transmitters, a new digital transmitter, switching equipment and other hardware.

New York metropolitan area hospitals responded generously to the attacks, sending medicine, supplies, equipment, and staff down to the site. Some of this equipment was lost when the Towers collapsed. Combined with tremendous overtime costs, the hospitals sustained at least $140 million in direct operating losses.

These losses are real, and only scratch the surface of what is likely to be needed in the coming months and years. We appreciate the funding provided in division B of the bill, but strongly disagree with the Committee's reasons for voting down our amendment for an additional $9.7 billion to support the recovery efforts in New York.

ADDITIONAL VIEWS OF HON. CHET EDWARDS


While I voted for the Committee's mark of the FY02 Department of Defense Appropriations Act, I was very disappointed that the Committee did not include an increase in funding for nonproliferation programs within the $20 billion supplemental appropriation that was attached.

I find it irresponsible and dangerous that even in light of the September 11th terrorist attacks, this House has said, in effect by our votes, that it is less important to fund programs that protect Americans from the threat of nuclear terrorists than it was a year ago. Earlier this year, the Department of Energy Appropriations bill included a smaller budget than last year's for nuclear nonproliferation programs with Russia. These programs provide for increases in security for loosely guarded Russian nuclear materials that could fall into the wrong hands. At the time, I was assured that the supplemental appropriations bill would be the appropriate place to increase this budget, as it would include programs funded to respond to the attacks of September 11th. Unfortunately, this bill did not include those funds, and the only amendment offered during Committee consideration of the bill that would have increased our efforts in this area was struck down 34-31.

The President has made it clear that he believes this is a threat. On November 13, he stated: `Our highest priority is to keep terrorists from acquiring weapons of mass destruction * * * We agreed that it is urgent that we improve the physical protection and accounting of nuclear materials and prevent illicit nuclear trafficking.' Earlier this year, a review led by former Senator Howard Baker and former White House Counsel Lloyd Cutler declared: `The national security benefits to U.S. citizens from securing and/or neutralizing * * * nuclear weapons and potential nuclear weapons could constitute the highest return on investment in any current U.S. national security and defense program.'

Let me review five facts that are not in dispute:

1. If the September 11th terrorists had used a nuclear bomb, with a soda can sized lump of plutonium, and placed it in lower Manhattan, millions of people would have died.

2. There are over 600 metric tons, enough for 41,000 nuclear devices, of weapons-usable material in Russia today that is in urgent need of additional security improvements, according to the U.S. Department of Energy.

3. We know of 14 separate seizures of highly enriched uranium that had been stolen from Russian nuclear sites since 1992. In eight of those cases, the uranium was seized outside of Russia, in Germany, the Czech Republic, and Bulgaria.

4. We know that since 1993 Osama bin Laden's Al Qaeda organization has made attempts to obtain nuclear material from Russia. In fact, when Northern Alliance forces drove Taliban forces out of Kabul, they found schematics and other background materials describing how to build a crude nuclear bomb.

5. Because of an agreement signed in September between the United States and Russia, we have a window of opportunity to put in place anti-terrorist safeguards at numerous Russian nuclear sites. No one knows when that window of opportunity will close.

Based on those known facts and the devastating potential of nuclear terrorist attacks, Congress should act immediately to work with Russia in providing adequate safeguards at their numerous nuclear sites.

I know that every Member of this House would do almost anything to prevent a nuclear terrorist attack on the United States. Sadly, though, our spending decisions are not consistent with that commitment.

I will vote for this bill because of the good that it does, and because I know that the Chairman will continue to look for an opportunity to fund these critical programs. I believe we have a moral obligation to the American people to do everything possible to prevent terrorists from using nuclear weapons against American families.
