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.
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.
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.
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

Of these funds, $2,500,000 is to expand protective forces, replace outdated alarm and radio systems, and install public address systems at the Department of Energy's Washington, DC, facilities.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.
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.
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.
