underground nuclear weapons tests.
(3) The United States, France, Russia, and Great Britain
have observed a moratorium on nuclear testing since 1992.
(4) A resumption of testing by the Republic of France could
result in the disintegration of the current testing
moratorium and a renewal of underground testing by other
nuclear weapon states.
(5) A resumption of nuclear testing by the Republic of
France raises serious environmental and health concerns.
(6) The United Nations Conference on Disarmament presently
is meeting in Geneva, Switzerland, for the purpose of
negotiating a Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty (CTBT),
which would halt permanently the practice of conducting
nuclear test explosions.
(7) Continued underground weapons testing by the Republic
of France and the People's Republic of China undermines the
efforts of the

[[Page H 9465]]

international community to conclude a CTBT by 1996, a goal
endorsed by 175 nations, at the recently completed NPT
Extension and Review Conference (the conference for the
extension and review of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation
Treaty).
(b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate
that the Republic of France and the People's Republic of
China should abide by the current international moratorium on
nuclear test explosions and refrain from conducting
underground nuclear tests in advance of a Comprehensive Test
Ban Treaty.
Sec. 8117. (a) Limitation on Transfer of Defense Articles

Representatives and the Committee on Foreign Relations of the
Senate are notified 15 days in advance of such transfer.

JOINT EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF THE COMMITTEE OF CONFERENCE

The managers on the part of the House and the Senate at the
conference on the disagreeing votes of the two Houses on the
amendment of the Senate to the bill (H.R. 2126), making
appropriations for the Department of Defense for the fiscal
year ending September 30, 1996, and for other purposes,
submit the following joint statement to the House and the
Senate in explanation of the effect of the action agreed upon
by the managers and recommended in the accompanying
conference report.
The conference agreement on the Department of Defense
Appropriations Act, 1996, incorporates some of the provisions
of both the House and Senate versions of the bill. The
language and allocations set forth in House Report 104-208
and Senate Report 104-124 should be complied with unless
specifically addressed in the accompanying bill and statement
of the managers to the contrary.
Senate Amendment: The Senate deleted the entire House bill
after the enacting clause and inserted the Senate bill. The
conference agreement includes a revised bill.

DEFINITION OF PROGRAM, PROJECT, AND ACTIVITY

The conferees agree that for the 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 term program, project, and activity for
appropriations contained in this Act shall be defined as the
most specific level of budget items identified in the
Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 1996, the
accompanying House and Senate Committee reports, the
conference report and accompanying joint explanatory
statement of the managers of the Committee of Conference, the
related classified annexes and reports, and the P-1 and R-1
budget justification documents as subsequently modified by
Congressional action. The following exception to the above
definition shall apply:
For the Military Personnel and the Operation and
Maintenance accounts, the term ``program, project, and
activity'' is defined as the appropriations accounts
contained in the Department of Defense Appropriations Act. At
the time the President submits his budget for fiscal year
1997, the conferees direct the Department of Defense to
transmit to the congressional defense committees a budget
justification document to be known as the ``0-1'' which shall
identify, at the budget activity, activity group, and
subactivity group level, the amounts requested by the
President to be appropriated to the Department of Defense for
operation and maintenance in any budget request, or amended
budget request, for fiscal year 1997.

TITLE I--MILITARY PERSONNEL

The conferees agree to the following amounts and end
strength totals for the Military Personnel accounts as
follows:

operations provide comfort/enhanced southern watch

The conference agreement includes $647,100,000, as proposed
by the House, for unbudgeted costs associated with Operations
Provide Comfort and Enhanced Southern Watch. Of this amount,
$77,500,000 is appropriated in Title I, Military Personnel,
and $569,600,000 is appropriated in Title II, Operation and
Maintenance. The conferees designate these funds as an item
of Congressional interest, meaning they can only be used for
additional incremental costs of Operations Provide Comfort
and Enhances Southern Watch unless prior approval is granted
by the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations through
normal reprogramming procedures. In addition, the conferees
direct that none of these funds may be obligated or expended
unless the costs of these operations are fully submitted in
the President's fiscal year 1997 budget request. The
conferees direct that funds shall be available for obligation
only after submission of the fiscal year 1997 budget request,
and only if the request fully funds and details the estimated
costs of these operations. The conferees direct the Secretary
of Defense to provide a report to the House and Senate
Committees on Appropriations by January 30, 1996, on planned
obligations and expenditures of these funds.

force structure changes

The conferees recommend an increase of $38,500,000 to
maintain fiscal year 1995 Primary Authorized Aircraft (PAA)
levels in Air National Guard general purpose fighter forces
during fiscal year 1996.
The conferees recommend an increase of $34,200,000 to
sustain the maritime patrol aircraft force structure at 13
active and 9 reserve squadrons in fiscal year 1996.
The conferees also recommend an increase of $9,600,000 for
additional Marine Corps Reserve full-time support, in order
to facilitate the Marine Corps Reserve's contingency role and
operations.

military technician and medical personnel reprogramming

The conferees direct that the Department of Defense, in the
event of sequestration during fiscal year 1996, protect
military (civilian) technicians and medical personnel
necessary to maintain the current level of medical and
Reserve Component operations, from any associated reduction
of personnel pay medical programs (to include CHAMPUS).

basic allowance for quarters

The conferees agree to provide $72,366,000, as proposed by
the Senate, for an increase in the Basic Allowance for
Quarters, to be effective January 1, 1996.

military (civilian) technicians

The conferees recommend an increase of $40,500,000 in the
Operation and Maintenance accounts of the Army Reserve, Air
Force Reserve, Army National Guard, and Air National Guard
for additional military (civilian) technicians. The conferees
remain concerned about the significant reduction to military
technicians contained in the President's budget request and
expect these funds to not be used for any other purpose
without a prior approval reprogramming being submitted
through normal channels. Additionally, the conferees direct
the Department to provide the required number of workyears
needed to sustain the levels of military (civilian)
technicians as provided in this Act. The conferees also
include a general provision (Section 8087) which prohibits
reducing the full-time support levels for technicians unless
such technicians are a result of a reduction in military
force structure. The conferees expect the Department to
follow the intent of this provision.

support of the u.s. antarctic program

The conferees agree to continue the Department of Defense
support to the U.S. Antarctic Program. However, in light of
the Congressional requirement for the National Science and
Technology Council to undertake a Government-wide policy
review of DoD's role in the Antarctic program no later than
March 31, 1996, future Defense involvement in this mission
will be reassessed after receipt of that report. The
conferees believe that Air National Guard participation in
this project is predicated only on full reimbursement by the
National Science Foundation and shall not conflict with any
other Air National Guard mission.

budget justification and execution materials

The conferees are encouraged by the steps the Department
has taken too improve the Operation and maintenance program
justification materials submitted to the Congress. In order
to further these efforts, the conferees direct the Department
to:
provide the Committees on Appropriations quarterly budget
execution reports for all Operation and maintenance accounts
for fiscal year 1996. These reports should reflect the O-1
categories used in the budget justification materials.
Reports should be submitted within 60 days of the end of the
quarter to which they apply, concurrently to the Office of
Management and Budget;
provide the Committees on Appropriations quarterly reports
describing the execution of real property maintenance
programs. These reports should describe those activities
specifically and/or generally described by the Congress and
should separately identify activity related to barracks
renovation. Real Property Maintenance is designated an item
of congressional interest; transfers from real property
maintenance programs to other activities are subject to
prior-notification reprogramming procedures.
The conferees agree that proposed transfers of funds
between O-1 budget activity funding categories in excess of
$20,000,000 are subject to normal reprogramming procedures.
In addition, due to continuing concerns about force readiness
and the possible diversion of Operation and maintenance
funds, the conferees agree that the Department should provide
written notification to the congressional defense committees
prior to transfers in excess of $20,000,000 from the
following subactivity group categories:
O&M, Army
Operating forces: Combat units; Tactical support; Force
related training/special activities; Depot maintenance.
O&M, Navy
Operating forces: Mission and other flight operations;
Aircraft depot maintenance; Mission and other ship
operations; Ship depot maintenance.
O&M, Marine Corps
Operating forces: Operational forces
O&M, Air Force
Operating forces: Primary combat forces; Primary combat
weapons; Air operations training. Mobilization: Airlift
operations.

financial management

The conferees are concerned about the state of financial
management in the Department of Defense and the measures that
may be taken to improve upon past performance. Both the House
and Senate reports on the fiscal year 1996 Department of
Defense Appropriations Bill recommended several items for the
Department's consideration. These items should be merged into
a single report due to the Committees on Appropriations not
later than May 31, 1996. The DoD report should address the
following issues:
the state of Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS)
consolidation and future reorganization plans. Of specific
interest are DoD plans concerning establishment of 20 DFAS
operating locations;
opportunities for utilizing private sector financial
services to meet non-unique departmental requirements such as
travel processing, payroll and contract disbursements;
procedureal changes designed to improve DoD performance in
the areas of unmatched disbursements and negative
unliquidated obligations;
the estimated resource requirements to achieve long term
improvements of DoD financial management procedures and
systems.

Real Property Maintenance

The conferees agree with the Senate in providing an
additional $322,000,000 for barracks renovation. The
conferees have a provided a total increase of $700,000,000 to
the Real Property Maintenance account.

real Property Maintenance

The conferees agree to reduce the military department's
security program accounts and the On-Site Inspection Agency.
In order to meet emergent requirements stemming from valid
treaty obligations, the conferees expect the Department of
Defense to submit a reprogramming request subject to normal,
prior approval reprogramming procedures.

transportation improvements

The conferees agree that the Department of Defense should
be able to improve the efficiency of the transportation
organizations and infrastructure under the control of the
U.S. Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM). The conferees
direct that the Department of Defense report to the
congressional defense committees not later than March 31,
1996, on measure that will be taken to achieve improvements
in this area.

international military training and education

The conferees express their continued support for the
International Military Education and Training Program. The
conferees note however that this program is funded within
international affairs programs and is properly within the
jurisdiction of the Subcommittees on Foreign Operations.
Therefore, the conferees direct that no funds appropriated in
this act be used for foreign operations costs associated with
the International Military Education and Training program.

defense commissary access policy

The conferees direct a report be made by the General
Accounting Office to the Committee on Appropriations of the
Senate and the House of Representatives on any changes in DoD
commissary access policy, including providing reservists new
or additional privileges, and addressing any resulting
financial impact on the commissaries.

military traffic management command reengineering program

The conferees direct the Department of Defense to provide a
report on its pilot program to implement commercial business
practices and standards of service for its movement of
military household goods, to the congressional defense
committees by March 1, 1997. This report should fully assess
how the pilot program impacts the government's transportation
costs as compared to the current program. The conferees
expect the Department to fairly evaluate the present program
as modified by the removal of government unique terms,
conditions and regulations and using simplified procedures.
This analysis shall determine whether the proposed
reengineering of the current program is economically
justified, can achieve a higher level of service and lower
claims frequency.
In addition, the conferees direct the Department to report
by January 1, 1996, prior to the implementation of any
element of the pilot program, on its impact on small
businesses resulting from, but not limited to, the
application of the Federal Acquisition Regulations, and the
requirement of any program elements that are not standard
commercial business practices.

conventional ammunition maintenance

The conferees direct that of the funds provided for
conventional ammunition care and maintenance, the Army shall
expend not less than $300,853,000 for this purpose.

[[Page H 9470]]

national presto

The conferees direct that not less than $15,000,000 be made
available in the ``Operation and Maintenance, Army'' account
only for the remediation of environmental contamination at
the National Presto Industries, Inc. site in Eau Claire,
Wisconsin. These funds are to be made available only for the
implementation and execution of the 1988 agreement between
the Department of the Army and National Presto Industries,
Inc., within sixty days of the enactment of this Act and
without being made subject to any studies, reports or other
pre-conditions that would in any way delay or obstruct the
obligation and disbursal of the funds. The conferees are
satisfied that sufficient studies of this matter already have
been done.

life sciences equipment laboratory

The conferees direct that the Army shall make available
$500,000 to the Life Sciences Equipment Laboratory at Kelly
AFB, Texas, for work in support of the Joint Task Force--Full
Accounting.

fort wainwright emergency repairs

The conferees agree to provide $8,000,000 of available
funds, for emergency repairs for the Fort Wainwright Central
Heat and Power Plant.

contractor-operated parts stores (copars)

The conferees are concerned by the issues raised in a
recent GAO study of the COPARS program questioning the
methodology used by certain military commanders to justify
the use of alternative approaches. The conferees direct the
services to suspend all efforts directed toward the
elimination of COPARS unless and until economic analyses are
approved that clearly show other alternatives to be more
cost-effective. Such economic analyses must compare like
items of cost (including labor and overhead costs of any
COPARS alternative) and must fully address the concerns about
earlier analyses cited in the GAO report. To ensure the
fairness and objectivity of any such analysis, the conferees
direct the Secretary to designate a single point of contact
within the Office of the Secretary of Defense for approval of
study methodology and any final recommendations.

joint analysis model improvement program

The conferees agree that, of the funds provided,
$11,200,000 shall be made available for the Joint Analysis
Model Improvement Program.

pentagon renovation

The conferees direct that the Pentagon renovation funding
be consolidated in the Operation and Maintenance, Defense-
wide account. The conferees have provided a total of
$108,020,000 for the Pentagon renovation.

troops to cops and teachers

The Senate included language providing $52,000,000 to
continue the Troops to Cops and Troops to Teachers programs.
The conferees have deleted this language. The conferees
expect the Defense Department to consider using existing
resources within this appropriation, if available, to
continue these programs.

transition assistance program and relocation assistance program

The conferees agree to provide $49,300,000 for the
Transition Assistance Program and $18,504,000 for the
Relocation Assistance Program for fiscal year 1996. However,
the conferees are concerned that these programs have become
permanent entities, even though they were initiated to
provide service members and their families with separation
and relocation assistance resulting from the drawdown. At the
end of fiscal year 1996, the Department of Defense will have
largely completed its downsizing effort. Accordingly, the
conferees direct the Department to report to the Defense
Committees no later than March 1, 1996, on phasing out these
programs, and what, if any residual level of continued
resourcing is required.

Environmental Restoration, Defense

The conferees agree to provide $1,422,200,000 for
Environmental Restoration, Defense.

environmental remediation

The conferees support the ``relative risk'' approach to
environmental remediation and expect the Department to make
sure the most hazardous sites receive primary attention.
While the conferees believe that all bases--those closing and
those remaining open--must meet environmental standards the
Department must not let ongoing environmental clean-up
efforts preclude reuse opportunities at closing military
installations. In these cases, the Department should work
aggressively and innovatively with State and local officials
to lower clean-up costs and to be sure environmental issues
do not make it harder for affected communities to recover
from losing a military installation.

summer olympics

The conference agreement recommends an appropriation of
$15,000,000 as proposed by the House and Senate for support
of the 1996 Games of the XXVI Olympiad.

overseas humanitarian, disaster, and civic aid

The conferees agree to provide $50,000,000 for these
functions of which $20,000,000 is specifically earmarked for
training and activities related to the clearing of landmines
for humanitarian purposes.
The conferees also agree to the House recommendation to
consolidate all funds for humanitarian, disaster, and civil
aid into a single account.

former soviet union threat reduction

The conferees agree to provide $300,000,000 for the Former
Soviet Union Threat Reduction program, a reduction of
$71,000,000 from the budget request. Funding provided at the
subprogram level appears in the following table:

Enterprise Fund, the conferees agree that up to $200,000,000
of previously appropriated funds may be expended to
administer the continued operation of the Defense Enterprise
Fund program currently underway. The conferees have included
two general provisions regarding the Former Soviet Union
Threat Reduction program involving the limitation on
expenditures of funds for the Chemical Weapons Destruction
program and a prohibition on providing funds for housing for
current or former Soviet military officers.

Joint Forces Command, Control and Communications

The conferees understand the importance of interoperability
for joint forces in war and peacetime and have provided an
additional $103,300,000 to correct critical deficiencies.
However, through testimony from the Vice Chairman, Joint
Chiefs of Staff, Service Chiefs and Commanders in Chief of
the various Unified and Specified Commands, the conferees
believe that deficiencies in command, control and
communications still exist. The conferees encourage the
Secretary of Defense to provide adequate resources for joint
interoperability initiatives and will entertain reprogramming
action that provides additional funds for this purpose.

ammunition and missile quantities

The conferees agree the quantities of missiles and
ammunition noted in the following tables are to be considered
a floor and direct the Department to buy as many units as
appropriated funds will allow. In no case shall the
Department buy less than the quantities noted in the table
unless the congressional defense committees are informed as
to why these levels are unachievable.

aircraft procurement, army

The conference agreement is as follows:

[[Page H 9478]]

AH-64 Modifications

The conferees agree to provide the budget request of
$53,596,000 for AH-64 modifications. Of this amount,
$3,000,000 shall be used to procure additional embedded
global positioning/inertial navigation systems for Apache
helicopters.

uh-60

The conferees agree with the Senate language regarding
enhanced protection systems. However, in view of the
conference agreement to fund a multi-year procurement program
for the UH-60, the conferees believe that the House-
recommended report on helicopter production strategies is not
required.

High capacity air ambulance

The conferees are deeply concerned by the failure of the
Army to address the need for a High Capacity Air Ambulance
(HCAA). The Army Surgeon General has stated that this is one
of his highest priorities. The conferees direct the Army to
seek an appropriate solution and report the results of the
planned joint exercise with the Air Force and National Guard
by February 15, 1996. The report should include the
feasibility of utilizing C-130s for the HCAA fixed wing
requirement, the role of the Army and Air National Guard in
this mission, and requirements for the UH-60L and or UH-60Q
helicopters for the National Guard in order to accomplish the
rotary wing portion of this mission. The conferees direct
that, of the funds appropriated for UH-60Ls, the first 9
aircraft to be procured within the Aircraft Procurement, Army
appropriation will be assigned to the National Guard.

Missile Procurement, Army

The conference agreement is as follows:

tow 2 missiles

The conferees agree to provide $12,378,000 for TOW 2
missiles, an increase of $5,000,000 to modify the capstan
block of existing TOW 2 missiles.

multiple launch rocket system launchers

The conferees agree to provide $98,588,000 for multiple
launch rocket system launchers, an increase of $50,400,000
only for the refurbishment of existing launchers which are to
be transferred to the national guard.

Procurement of Weapons and Tracked Combat Vehicles, Army

The conference agreement is as follows:

Test Equipment

The conferees agree to provide $15,000,000 for Direct
Support Electronic System Test Sets (DSESTS). The funding is
appropriated as follows:

Conference
Armored Gun System...........................................$6,000,000
Abrams Tank Series............................................3,000,000
Combat Vehicle Improvement Program (RDT&E,A)..................6,000,000

Procurement of Ammunition, Army

The conference agreement is as follows:

special purpose ammunition

The conferees agree to provide $6,000,000 for special
purpose ammunition. The increase is to be allocated as
follows:

Conference
7.62MM (XM993)...............................................$2,000,000
5.56MM (XM995)................................................2,000,000
.50 caliber (MK211)...........................................2,000,000

ctg 120 mm heat m830a1

The conferees direct the Army to procure 120MM HEAT M830A1
tank rounds with the $15,000,000 appropriated in fiscal year
1994 for AT-4 modifications.

navstar global positioning system

The conferees agree to provide $32,502,000 for the Navstar
Global Positioning System, an increase of $17,500,000 to
complete the installation of global positioning systems on
all Army active and reserve aircraft. The conferees direct
that priority installation be given to the 1/207th Aviation
Regiment because of their unique search and rescue mission in
remote areas.

jstars ground stations

The conferees do not agree on the transfer language for
JSTARS ground stations from the Army to the Marine Corps. The
conferees have provided funds in the Procurement, Marine
Corps appropriation for JSTARS ground stations.

Aircraft Procurement Navy

The conference agreement is as follows:

f/a-18c/d hornet

The conferees agree to provide $822,669,000 for the
acquisition of eighteen F/A-18C/D aircraft. The conferees do
not agree with the House reduction of funds for procurement
of ALR-67(V)3 radar warning receivers.

t-39n

The conferees agree to provide $45,000,000 to purchase 17
T-39N aircraft. The conferees also agree with the House's
direction for the Navy to transition to a competitive
purchase of services contract for logistical support for the
T-39N fleet after aircraft acquisition. However, the
conferees direct that this transition should occur at the
conclusion of the current T-39N contract, which is due to
expire at the end of fiscal year 1998.

ea-6b

The conferees agree to provide $165,000,000 for
modifications and improvements to the EA-6B electronic
warfare aircraft. The funds are approved for the following
purposes: $100,000,000 to modify 20 more aircraft to enable
the Navy to support Air Force requirements; $40,000,000 to
buy 60 shipsets of Band 9/10 jammer transmitters; and
$25,000,000 to buy 30 USQ-113 radio countermeasures sets. The
conferees further agree to modify the Senate's direction to
use prior year funds for the acquisition of Band 9/10
jammers, which is now not necessary because they have
provided sufficient fiscal year 1996 funds to procure these
systems. The conferees urge the Navy to buy these systems
expeditiously.

p-3 modifications

The conferees agree with the Senate's direction regarding
acquisition of the AN/AAQ-22 thermal imaging system and
incorporation of that system into the P-3 Antisurface Warfare
Improvement Program (AIP).

common ecm equipment

The conferees support the use of the LAU-138/A launch rail
chaff dispenser system on Navy tactical aircraft as a cost
effective means for improving aircrew/aircraft survivability.
The conferees direct that these systems be managed as fleet
armament equipment pool assets to afford maximum flexibility
and cost savings, and that all remaining prior year funds
appropriated for these systems be expeditiously applied
toward this purpose.

aviation multiyear fund

The conferees do not agree to provide funds for an Aviation
Multiyear Fund as proposed by the House. The Navy is
therefore not required to solicit multiyear bids from E-2C,
AV-8B, and T-45 manufacturers, although it may do so if
circumstances warrant.

5 inch/54 gun ammunition

The conferees agree to provide $36,000,000, an increase of
$14,499,000 only for 5 inch/54 gun ammunition. Despite
Congressional direction to correct the requirements process
and provide adequate funding for fleet training ammunition,
the Navy has chosen once again to provide insufficient
funding. The conferees direct the Secretary of Navy to ensure
that adequate funding is provided in subsequent budget
requests for fleet training ammunition.

shipbuilding and conversion, navy

The conference agreement is as follows:

ddg-51

The conferees agree with the House recommendation of
$2,162,457,000 for the DDG-51 program, which will procure two
destroyers. The conferees further provide legislative
authority for the Secretary of the Navy to negotiate
contracts for two additional DDG-51 class destroyers, and to
award the contracts for those vessels on October 1, 1996. The
conferees believe this acquisition strategy will generate
increased economies of scale and stability for the Navy and
the shipbuilding industrial base.

LPD-17 RCS Engineering Support

The conferees note that as a result of the Base Realignment
and Closure decisions, the Navy has reorganized and
consolidated its Radio Communications Systems (RCS)
engineering, production, testing, integration and training
support activities. In assigning RCS engineering support
workload for the LPD-17 class of ships, the conferees expect
that the Navy will assign such workload to the most
appropriate facility.

T-AGS-64

The conferees agree to provide $16,000,000 for advance
procurement for a T-AGS-64 multi-purpose oceanographic survey
ship.

LSD-52

The conferees agree to provide $20,000,000 as recommended
by the House for one additional SSDS MK-1 unit which the
conferees

[[Page H 9481]]
direct be installed on LSD-52 during its construction prior to
delivery of this vessel to the fleet.

SHIP COST ADJUSTMENT

The conferees do not agree to the House proposal to modify
the ship cost adjustment process by eliminating specific
designations in the bill, providing new transfer authority,
and providing reprogramming limitations. The conferees also
do not agree to the House requirement to include ship cost
adjustments in the annual omnibus reprogramming process.
Within the ship cost adjustment implemented in section 8091
of the Act, the conferees have allocated funds for potential
settlement of claims on the AOE class of ships. This action
is taken solely to facilitate the Navy's ability to implement
a settlement, should one be reached.

HM&E Items Under $2,000,000

The conferees agree to provide $33,389,000 for ``HM&E Items
Under $2,000,000'', a reduction of $10,000,000. This
decrease, which is applied against the Surface Ship Support
Equipment portion, includes a reduction of $3,760,000 against
the Gaseous Nitrogen Generator subproject.

fleet modernization

The conferees agree to provide $3,000,000 for procurement
of propeller shaft composite fairwaters to be backfit on CG
47 class cruisers during overhaul.

radar support

The conferees agree to provide $14,466,000 for the Radar
Support program, an increase of $14,000,000. The increase
includes $9,000,000 for the AN/BPS-16 submarine radar and
$5,500,000 for the AN/SPA-25G Radar Display program.

surface sonar windows and domes

The conferees agree to provide $6,000,000 for procurement
of replacement sonar rubber domes and windows, provision of
safety-related field service repair and change-out of this
equipment, and product improvements to increase durability
and service life.

weapons range support equipment

The conferees agree to provide $48,830,000, an increase of
$8,550,000, for Weapons Range Support Equipment program. The
net increase includes a decrease of $1,200,000 for the
Electronic Warfare Response Monitor subprogram and an
increase of $9,750,000 as proposed by the Senate.

surface tomahawk support equipment

The conferees agree to provide $61,293,000 for the Surface
Tomahawk Support Equipment program, a reduction of
$10,000,000. The reduction is against the Afloat Planning
System (APS) subprogram. The conferees are concerned that the
Navy does not currently have an operational doctrine for the
tactical use of Tomahawk cruise missiles by ship commanders.
Furthermore, the conferees question the need to deploy APS on
all carriers in light of the Challenge Athena satellite
communications project.

an/sps-48e radar

The conferees direct that the funds previously appropriated
for Pulse Doppler Mod Kits for AN/SPS-48E radars be released
to the Navy. The modification of the radar will significantly
improve its operational effectiveness when operating in
littoral waters and therefore will improve the entire surface
fleet's tactical situation awareness when it is incorporated
into the Cooperative Engagement Capability. Given the vital
link between these two programs, the conferees further direct
that management and execution of the upgrade to the AN/SPS-
48E radar program be conducted by the Program Executive
Officer for Theater Air Defense.

intelligence support equipment

The conferees agree to provide $35,283,000 for intelligence
support equipment, an increase of $29,000,000. Of the
increase, $16,500,000 is only for two JSTARS ground stations
and $12,500,000 is only for Commander's Tactical Terminals.

right hand drive vehicles

The conferees have reviewed the implementation of Public
Law 100-370, which amended title 10 USC (2253) to limit the
amount available for purchase of right hand drive vehicles to
$12,000. The conferees agree that this limitation should only
apply to the purchase of passenger sedans manufactured
outside of the United States. Further, this limitation does
not affect the use of any right hand drive vehicle provided
as part of the local contribution towards the basing of U.S.
forces in the Host Nation.

Aircraft Procurement, Air Force

The conference agreement is as follows:

strategic airlift

The conferees agree to provide $183,757,000 for strategic
airlift, the amount of the budget request. It is the
conferees' belief that the Defense Acquisition Board's
upcoming decision on the optimal composition of the airlift
fleet will require the continued production of C-17 aircraft.
The conferees therefore direct that from the amount of
funding provided for strategic airlift the Department of
Defense must give first priority to fully funding advance
procurement for continued production of C-17 aircraft in
fiscal year 1997.

b-1b modifications

The conferees agree to provide $68,483,000 for B-1B
modifications, a decrease of $6,900,000 to the budget
request. The amount provided by the conferees includes a
decrease of $14,100,000 from cost savings for miscellaneous
modifications and an increase of $7,200,000 for reliability
and maintainability improvements identified during the B-1B
operational readiness assessment. The conferees also agree
with the Senate's reporting requirement about expanding the
B-1B conventional mission upgrade program.

a-10

The conferees agree to provide $41,024,000, a decrease of
$38,400,000 to the budget request for A-10 modifications. The
deleted funds are excess to program requirements for fiscal
year 1996.

f-15 modifications

The conferees agree to provide $78,288,000, a decrease of
$1,200,000 to the budget request for F-15 modifications. The
conferees agree with the House reduction of funds for
installation of landing gear wiring switch kits. The
conferees do not agree with the Senate reduction of funds for
a fighter data link modification. In restoring the
$15,800,000 deleted by the Senate, the conferees direct that
$9,000,000 may only be used to acquire Joint Tactical
Information Distribution System (JTIDS) class II terminals
for one squadron of F-15 aircraft. The remaining $6,800,000
is available only for the Multifunctional Information
Distribution System (MIDS) variant project.
The Under Secretary of Defense (Acquisition and Technology)
has informed the conferees of the Defense Department's recent
decision to meet the F-15 fighter data link (FDL)
requirements through the MIDS program. The conferees
understand that the Department intends full and open
competition for FDL production. The conferees direct the
Under Secretary to assure the congressional defense
committees in writing that the use of MIDS architecture and
software will not place U.S. companies at a competitive
disadvantage. This assurance is required before release of
the formal Request for Proposal for the F-15 fighter data
link.

F-16 Modifications

The conferees agree to provide $120,606,000 for F-16
modifications, an increase of $2,000,000 to the budget
request. The additional funding provided is only for initial
acquisition of 600 gallon fuel tanks for destructive testing,
evaluation and limited operational use.

C-130 Modifications

The conferees agree to provide $94,399,000 for C-130
modifications, an increase of $10,000,000 to the budget
request. Of the additional funding provided by the conferees,
$6,000,000 is only for threat defensive systems, and
$4,000,000 is only for acquisition of AN/AAQ-22 thermal
imaging systems for 10 Air Force Reserve HC-130 aircraft, as
recommended by the Senate.

C-135 Modifications

The conferees agree to provide $238,764,000, for C-135
modifications, an increase of $96,000,000 to the budget
request. The additional funding provided by the conferees is
only for continued reengining of the Air Guard and Reserve
KC-135 tanker fleet. The conferees have provided sufficient
funding for four reengining kits.

DARP Modifications

The conferees agree to provide $53,000,000 for Defense
Airborne Reconnaissance Program (DARP) modifications, an
increase of $53,000,000 to the budget request. Of the
additional funding provided by the conferees, $48,000,000 is
only for the acquisition of two RC-135 reengining kits and
$5,000,000 is only for costs associated with the
refurbishment of the SR-71 aircraft.

Aircraft Spare and Repair Parts

The conferees agree to provide $586,281,000 for aircraft
spare and repair parts, a decrease of $17,338,000 to the
budget request. The amount of funding provided by the
conferees includes a decrease of $21,900,000 for C-17 spares,
a decrease of $8,938,000 for T-1 spares and an increase of
$13,500,000 for F100-229 engine spares.

electronic warfare force structure

The conferees strongly agree with Senate report language
with respect to retaining at least 12 EF-111A Raven jammer
aircraft in the primary aircraft inventory through fiscal
year 1999, and with the Senate directed reporting
requirements.

Missile Procurement, Air Force

recommendation makes the following reduction: $20,000,000 for
no longer needed relocation costs; $6,100,000 for
unadjudicated claims; $5,000,000 from contractor
consolidation savings.

defense airborne reconnaissance program

The conferees agree to provide $161,575,000 for procurement
for the Defense Airborne Reconnaissance Program (DARP), a
decrease of $17,732,000 to the budget request. The conferees
support the Army's identified need for a short range unmanned
air vehicle (UAV), but remain concerned with the continuing
problems associated with the Hunter program. As a result, the
conferees have denied funding for marinization of the Hunter
UAV and direct that the remaining fiscal year 1996 funds
provided for Hunter not be obligated until the Appropriations
Committees receive the results of the Defense Acquisition
Board's review of the program. This review should include all
options for fulfilling the Army's UAV requirement. The
conferees further direct that use of these funds for any
other purpose is to be handled through normal reprogramming
procedures.

patrol craft--cyclone class

The conferees agree to provide $20,000,000 for the
procurement of one additional PC-Cyclone class operations
patrol craft/vessel to continue to meet force requirements.

natural gas vehicles

The conferees recommend the Department develop an
implementation plan and a demonstration effort based on the
1993 Navy study which specified natural gas vehicles as the
vehicle of choice for achieving significant emission
reductions on military bases.

National Guard and Reserve Equipment

The conferees agree to provide $777,000,000 for National
Guard and Reserve Equipment as proposed by the Senate instead
of $980,125,000 as proposed by the House.

joint logistics systems center

The conferees do not agree to the House proposal to provide
an additional $100,000,000 in the Operation and Maintenance,
Defense-wide appropriation for the Joint Logistics Systems
Center (JLSC). The conferees recognize that there is the
potential for significant cost savings from effective
logistics systems modernization, and believe that JLSC and
its programs should remain a top priority. A September, 1995
report to the House Appropriations Committee by the
Committee's Surveys and Investigations staff, however,
indicates that the JLSC is not properly organized to
accomplish the redesign of the Department of Defense's
logistics systems. The conferees direct that not more than
half of the funds requested in the budget and appropriated
for JLSC may be obligated until the Secretary of Defense has
taken appropriate action to correct JLSC's organizational
deficiencies and has designated the Air Force as the
executive agency for the JLSC, which will remain the
responsibility of the Deputy Undersecretary of Defense
(Logistics) and will remain located at Wright-Patterson Air
Force Base. The conferees further direct that the Secretary
of Defense provide a report to the congressional defense
committees by February 1, 1996 which explains his plan for
improving the management of the Joint Logistics Systems
Center, including improved levels of management, technical,
contracting, and acquisition support.

navy standard integrated personnel system

The conferees have provided $18,000,000 as recommended by
the House for the Navy Standard Integrated Personnel System
(NSIPS). The additional funding is only for NSIPS as directed
in House Report 104-208, page 134, except that $13,000,000 is
appropriated in Other Procurement, Navy; $2,500,000 in
Operation and Maintenance, Navy Reserve; and $2,500,000 in
Operation and maintenance, Navy. The conferees concur with
the Department's plan to use a joint working group to define
the functional and technical requirements for a standard
military personnel management system. The conferees believe
that parallel development of NSIPS is critical and direct the
Navy, the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and
Readiness, and the Assistant Secretary of Defense for C31 to
continue NSIPS development and implementation as a joint
Naval Reserve and active team project which will include the
core capabilities required to support joint requirements for
the objective DOD field level data collection personnel
system. The conferees concur with the Department's decision
to designate the Navy as executive agent for prototyping and
testing these field level applications or core capabilities
and the Air Force as the executive agent for the database.
The conferees are aware of Navy needs to also continue to
consolidate and integrate its headquarters personnel systems.
The House previously directed that the Navy Military
Personnel Distribution System (NMPD) central design authority
(CDA) be assigned to the Enlisted Personnel Management Center
(EPMAC) to assure the most efficient and cost effective
development and maintenance of this system. The conferees
understand that the Military Assignment, Selection, and
Transfer System (MAST) has been conceived to modernize Naval
personnel management by combining legacy systems and allowing
these systems to operate in a more cost effective and client
friendly environment. EPMAC has been identified as the
technical expert possessing the expertise required to meet
the development demands of MAST and NMPD systems. The
conferees direct the Navy to assign CDA responsibilities,
implementation, and funding functions to EMPAC for the MAST
and NMPD systems by January, 1996, and that the transfer of
the NMPD system to EPMAC be completed by September, 1996. The
conferees direct the Navy to allocate the required funding to
EPMAs in support of the MAST and NMPD system development to
include hardware, software, and personnel requirements.
The conferees concur with the House direction that the
Department of the Navy place the collocated Naval
Telecommunications and Communications Station (NTCS)
functions and operations under the operational control and
command of the Naval Reserve Information Systems Office,
except that this direction shall only apply to the Central
Design Agency functions and its related support functions and
civilian personnel. The conferees direct that these functions
continue to be supported through the Defense Business
Operations Fund.

[[Page H 9486]]

other defense agencies

The conferees concur with the House direction provided in
House Report 104-208, pages 136-137 regarding DISA megacenter
outsourcing. The conferees are adamant that the reporting
requirements and directions provided in the House report be
followed by the Department of Defense. While the conferees
may be able to support outsourcing some non-essential
military functions and services prior to the completion of
recommended base closing and realignment consolidations, the
conferees expect the reporting requirements contained in the
House report to occur first along with proper Congressional
committee oversight.
The conferees concur with the House National Security
Committee efforts urging the Department of Defense to
privatize or outsource non-essential military services such
functions as civilian payroll and payroll-and-accounting for
nonappropriated instrumentality functions. However, the
conferees recommend the Department also look to franchising
for these and other similar services from other Federal
agencies that already provide similar, cost effective
services. In this regard, the conferees urge the Department
to proceed with the recommendation made in the statement of
the managers accompanying the fiscal year 1995 Defense
Appropriations Act to initiate a prototype for using the
National Finance Center cross servicing functions, in
conjunction with existing DFAS and private operations in the
area, for some financial management and personnel services at
DOD as recommended by Military Department Comptrollers in
January, 1994.

reserve component automation system

The Army has spent eighteen years and close to a billion
dollars without successfully providing modern computer
technology to its Reserve Component. For the first time in
the RCAS program's history, there now appears to be general
consensus between the active Army, the National Guard, the
Army Reserve, the Office of the Secretary of Defense, and the
Congress on its future direction based on the restructure
proposed by the Chief of the National Guard Bureau. Given
this apparent consensus, there is no longer the need for
legislation to accomplish the goals set out by the Congress
for this program. The conferees therefore do not agree to
retain bill language as proposed by the House. This action
should not be construed as a diminution of Congressional
support for RCAS, a Congressional authorization to change the
program responsibilities of the Chief of the National Guard
Bureau, or an invitation to the Army to change the program
architecture to parallel or merge with active Army computer
modernization programs. The funding provided in this Act is
available solely to implement the restructured RCAS program
as proposed by the Chief of the National Guard Bureau,
endorsed by the Office of the Secretary of Defense in a
formal Major Automated Information Systems Review Council,
and recently presented to the Congress. All RCAS funds are
hereby designated to be of special Congressional interest,
any other use of which would require approval by the Congress
through the formal reprogram- ming process; this would
include the use of RCAS funds to modernize active Army
systems or to finance co-development of new systems. The
conferees agree to the certification requirements by the
Assistant Secretary of Defense for Reserve Affairs in the
House report.
For many years, the Congress has denied the use of
government furnished equipment and software in the RCAS
system primarily because the Army would not identify it in
advance to the Congress. The Chief of the National Guard
Bureau has proposed the limited use of government furnished
software in the restructured program. The Army has touted for
many years the large amount of government furnished software
that potentially could be used in RCAS. However, of the 16
existing Army information systems that will be examined for
reuse in RCAS during fiscal year 1996, the Guard Bureau
indicates that not even one is likely to have more than 14
percent of the software available for reuse. Many of these
are also very old systems. The conferees wish to assure that
software reuse is not done simply for its own sake or solely
to satisfy the technical community. The conferees impose no
restrictions on the use of government furnished software in
the restructured program, but direct that the Program
Executive Office for RCAS certify each time it tasks the RCAS
contractor to use a significant amount of government
furnished software that such action is the most cost-
effective approach.
Finally, for many years the Congress had a very tight
restriction in law prohibiting the purchase of interim
equipment outside of the RCAS program. The Reserve Components
have recently disclosed that there are 12,000 modern
computers which are available for the restructured program.
The conferees direct the Inspector General of the Defense
Department to conduct an investigation on how the Reserve
Component was able to obtain such a large number of
computers, whether any of these acquisitions violated law,
and/or if anti-deficiency violations occurred.

Title IV--Research, Development, Test and Evaluation

The conference agreement is as follows:

special interest items

The conferees agree with the direction in the House report
with respect to the identification and treatment of
Congressional interest items and further direct that these
requirements be imposed with respect to items so identified
in the Senate report and in this Statement of the Managers.

university and industry research centers

The conferees have provided $49,779,000. Included in this
amount is $22,847,000 for the Army's new federated labs
program. The conferees direct that these funds may only be
used to initiate the three federated lab programs which the
Army determines are most important to its needs.
The conferees are concerned that the Army's plan to enter
into long term agreements could limit its ability to respond
to new ideas and changes in the defense industry. Therefore,
the conferees direct that the Army shall not enter into any
federated lab agreement or contract which provides for the
non-competitive continuation of a federated lab for more than
five years. The conferees further direct that the Assistant
Secretary of the Army for Research, Development and
Acquisition provide a report identifying the three fiscal
year 1996 federated labs, the participants, the allocation of
funds, the management structure, and the planned research
program by March 1, 1996 to the congressional defense
committees.

ew development

The conferees understand that funds are included in the
budget request for the development of an electronic
protection system and encourage the Army to obligate up to
$10,300,000 in fiscal year 1996 for the SHORTSTOP project.

medical advanced technology

The conferees agree to provide $75,000,000 for the Army's
peer reviewed breast cancer research program. The conferees
expect the Army to provide special emphasis to research that
addresses the specific needs of military beneficiaries.

air defense command, control and intelligence

The conferees provided $2,000,000 in fiscal year 1995 for
the evaluation of the Air Defense Alerting Device (ADAD). The
conferees direct the Department of Defense to release the
fiscal year 1995 funds appropriated for ADAD and proceed with
testing.

task force xxi soldier

The conferees agree to provide $30,000,000 for a new
project, Task Force XXI Soldier, to accelerate the
development of integrated, modular equipment designed for the
individual soldier. The Army's strategy to develop and field
the interim Land Warrior system and then immediately begin
production of the objective GEN II Soldier system appears to
be an inefficient allocation of resources. The conferees
believe that accelerating the GEN II soldier program will
eliminate the need for an interim system allowing the Army to
field a more capable system at an earlier date. Therefore,
the conferees have consolidated funds from the existing
programs to accelerate the GEN II Soldier program and
provided additional funds to continue only the Land Warrior
efforts necessary to support the objective program. The
conferees direct the Assistant Secretary of the Army for
Research, Development and Acquisition to provide a report
defining a revised acquisition strategy to the congressional
defense committees by March 1, 1996.

airborne reconnaissance low

The conferees understand that upgrading the Airborne
Reconnaissance Low (ARL) aircraft with the RAH-66 Comanche
engine will significantly enhance operational capabilities
and reduce support costs. Although no funds were requested in
the fiscal year 1996 budget, the conferees encourage the Army
to pursue upgrading the ARL engine in fiscal year 1997.

the affected programs. This action should not be construed as
a diminution of Congressional support for achieving robust
self-defense capabilities on Navy ships, particularly on the
LPD-17 class, as soon as possible.

surface ship technology

The conferees believe recent efforts to develop state-of-
the-art curved plate technology for constructing large double
hull tankers hold promise to significantly reduce
construction costs and provide an improved level of safety
and performance for navy tanker vessels. The conference
agreement includes $15,000,000 only to complete the
development, design, construction and testing of full scale
prototype equipment essential to evaluating and deploying
this technology. Funds are to be used for detailed design and
construction of full scale prototype equipment for curved
plate panel forming, coating, subassembly and final welding.

oceanographic and atmospheric technology

The conferees agree to provide $10,000,000 for
oceanographic research as recommended by the House. These
funds are available only for collaborative research for the
continued development, integration and application of cost-
effective underwater multisensing systems (physical,
chemical, optical, and acoustic) and unmanned underwater
vehicles for continental shelf oceanographic measurements for
mine countermeasures and other oceanographic applications,
both fundamental and applied. These funds are to continue the
project explained in House report 103-254, whose focus is on
in-situ oceanographic sensors, fusion of multiple sensors,
reconfigurability, interoperability to achieve low cost,
reduced size and flexible payload/platform systems, adaptive
capabilities for extended deployments, and navigation by
self-convergent approaches using onboard sensors and
intelligent control.

joint advanced strike technology

Due to a recent restructure of the JAST program, there is
now $131,000,000 in the fiscal year 1996 budget that is for
work to be accomplished in fiscal year 1997. Such work should
be budgeted in that year. The conferees agree to this
reduction in the Navy and Air Force accounts, and direct that
the Office of the Secretary of Defense ensure that the fiscal
year 1997 budget to Congress includes a restoration of these
funds.

f/a-18 squadrons

The conferees agree to provide an additional $4,500,000
only for BOL chaff as recommended by the House. These funds
are only to complete certification of the BOL chaff system on
the F/A-18C/D series aircraft.

e-2 squadrons

The conferees have provided an increase of $10,000,000 only
to support evaluation of technologies for an E-2 radar
modernization program (RMP). The conferees support an
expansion of current development and test efforts at a site
which permits elevated testing of an ADS-18S antenna and is
involved with evaluation of space time adaptive processing
(STAP) algorithms. Based on analysis and testing completed to
date, the Navy has concluded that upgrades to the E-2 can
provide substantial warfighting improvements in a

[[Page H 9491]]
littoral environment. The conferees direct that the additional funds
shall only be available for radar development work, antenna
testing and site enhancements in conjunction with ongoing
efforts.

lcac service life extension program

The conferees agree to provide $37,000,000 as recommended
by the House for advanced planning and engineering of a
Landing Craft Air Cushion (LCAC) service life extension
program. The program will include component improvements and
structural modifications to reduce maintenance costs, meet
increased lift requirements, and restore growth margins.
Modifications will be incorporated into the last craft during
production and into existing fleet craft beginning in fiscal
year 1996 as an expansion of the current corrosion control
effort.

intercooled recuperative gas turbine engine

The conferees agree to provide $41,008,000 for the
continued development of the Intercooled Recuperative (ICR)
gas turbine engine. This includes the amount requested in the
budget and additional funds for the recuperator recovery plan
and the U.S. test site.

navy range support ship

In the process of restructuring its fleet of oceanographic
research vessels, the Navy recently decided that the
Kaimalino would not be part of the future Navy oceanographic
fleet. The conferees are aware of a plan for the Pacific
Missile Range Facility (PMRF) to acquire the Kaimalino to
support operational training needs as well as research and
development programs, such as Navy Upper and Lower Tier
Patriot, and THAAD. The conferees believe this would be an
effective use of the Kaimalino. The conferees direct the Navy
to review PMRF's request and to report to the Committees on
Appropriations prior to taking any other action on the ship.
The conferees further direct that the reuse of the Kaimalino
shall have no effect on other ships in the Navy's
oceanographic fleet.

armor.

sensor fuzed weapon product improvement

The House and Senate both included $10,000,000 in their
respective bills to begin a product improvement program for
the Sensor Fuzed Weapon (SFW). The conferees direct the Air
Force to program those funds required in the outyears to
complete development of these improvements. Currently
programmed SFW production funds shall not be used as a source
for the required development funds. The conferees strongly
urge the Air Force to begin this development as soon as
possible and to examine ways to streamline and shorten the
effort.
The conferees also agree with the Senate requirement for a
reevaluation, to be submitted no later than May 1, 1996, of
total inventory needs for smart munitions.

joint surveillance/target attack radar system

The conferees agree with the Senate position regarding
funds for both the Air Force and the Army to continue
development and procurement of the Joint Surveillance/Target
Attack Radar system, with the exception of restoring
$6,100,000 of the Senate recommended reduction to the Air
Forces procurement request. The conferees direct that the
restored funds are available only to pay over and above
expenses for repair actions during aircraft refurbishment.
The reduction recommended by the conferees shall only be
assessed against the funds originally identified in budget
justification materials as allocated for engineering change
orders.
In addition, the conferees direct that $12,000,000 in
fiscal year 1995 research, development, test and evaluation
funds allocated to an unadjudicated Request for Equitable
Adjustment is only available to support fiscal year 1996
development requirements.
The conferees further agree with the Senate requirements
regarding the NATO Alliance Ground Surveillance (AGS)
program.

b-52 squadrons

The conferees agree to provide $21,005,000 for B-52
development, an increase of $4,500,000 to the budget request.
The additional funding is only for integration of the AGM-130
munition onto B-52 bombers. The conferees direct that not
more than $1,000,000 may be obligated until the Secretary of
the Air Force certifies that there is a validated operational
requirement for the weapon and reports to the Committees on
Appropriations about the annual and total costs, schedule,
technical risks, and operational considerations of such
integration.

joint-air-to-surface standoff missile

The conferees agree to provide $25,000,000 to initiate the
Joint-Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile (JASSM) program. The
conferees agree to the Senate requirements regarding a report
and a cost and operational effectiveness analysis. However,
the Senate proposed obligation restrictions are not required.
The required report is due no later than June 1, 1996.

threat simulator development

The conferees direct that none of the funds available for
the Real-Time Electromagnetic Digitally Controlled Analyzer
and Processor (REDCAP) may be used to fund any activities

historically black colleges and other minority institutions

The Department is encouraged to continue its support of
minority institutions, including Hispanic serving
institutions, through academic collaborations for research
and education related to science and technology, relevant to
the Department's mission.

computing systems and communications technology

The conferees agree to provide $8,000,000 for a Global
Broadcast Service (GBS) as recommended by the House. The
conferees also agree to the House language directing that the
GBS initiative is to be managed by the Under Secretary of
Defense for Acquisition and Technology (USD (A&T)). The
conferees do not agree to the House language directing that
the $8,000,000 is to be released to the Navy for a near-term
GBS pilot program. Instead, the conferees believe that the
GBS program must address the needs of all of the services and
direct the USD (A&T) to compete the acquisition of both the
near-term and objective GBS. After the competition is
completed, the Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller) is to
certify to the defense committees that $8,000,000 has been
released to the service chosen as executive agent to conduct
the near-term GBS pilot program. The conferees do agree to
the House language directing the USD (A&T) to provide to the
defense committees a long-term master architecture.
Additionally, the conferees direct that the USD (A&T) provide
a comparison of cost, schedule, technical risk and
operational considerations for several potential GBS host
spacecraft including UFO follow-on, Milstar, DSCS,
classified, and commercial satellites with the master
architecture.

advanced electronic technology

The conferees agree with the House report concerning the
ECRC program and also direct the Department to enter into a
five-year contract with each of the two system integrators,
the National ECRC and CAMP, who will continue to manage their
respective sites.
The conferees commend ARPA for recent advancements in low-
cost dense plasma focus x-ray source technology and 0.18
micron synchrotron-based x-ray technology. The conferees urge
ARPA to continue efforts

[[Page H 9495]]
in the point source area and direct the Agency to allocate $11,000,000
to fund an integrated point source x-ray lithography system
based on these latest x-ray source and stepper developments.
This research should target defense related applications such
as the production of Microwave Monolithic Integrated Circuit
(MMIC) chips for military uses, including missile seekers,
digital battlefield systems and F-22 radar modules.

electronic combat master plan

The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to develop
and provide to the congressional defense committees, no later
than March 31, 1996, an Electronic Combat Master Plan to
establish an optimum infrastructure for electronic combat
assets.

strategic target system (stars)

The conferees agree to provide $10,000,000, the budget
amount, only to continue planning, preparation and actual
conduct of STARS flight tests. The conferees direct that BMDO
take no actions to terminate or place the STARS program in a
caretaker status.

naval theater ballistic missile defense

The conferees believe that the Navy's area wide (Lower
Tier) and theater wide (Upper Tier) programs should be
deployed as rapidly as possible. The Navy's current plan to
build on existing ship platforms, the Aegis system, proven
launch systems, and the operational Standard missile family
has resulted in a cost effective, technically capable and
manageable program that is planned to produce a user
operational capability (UOES) Upper Tier system not later
than FY 1999 with an initial operational capability (IOC) by
2001. The conferees are committed to a rapid and actual
deployment of an effective sea-based missile defense system.
The conferees direct the Department to place highest priority
on proceeding with a development program that achieves
deployment of the Navy Upper Tier system by the planned 2001
IOC. The conferees endorse the Navy Theater Wide system as a
core TMD program and endorse fully funding the core program
in the five year defense plan. The conferees direct that not
less than $200,442,000 shall be spent on Navy Upper Tier and
not less than $282,473,000 Navy Lower Tier for research and
development activities. Funding allocations through BMDO to
the Navy for these programs should proceed expeditiously.

tier ii unmanned air vehicle

The conferees agree to provide $45,250,000 for the Tier II
(Predator) unmanned air vehicle program, an increase of
$25,300,000 to the budget request. The conferees also agree
that the additional funding provided shall only be used for
attrition replacement air vehicles and shall not be used to
marinize the Predator air vehicle.

rivet joint re-engining

The conferees have provided $79,000,000 solely for the
purpose of initiation of re-engining the Rivet Joint fleet.
The conferees direct that future funding for this project be
included in budget submissions for fiscal year 1997 and
beyond, thus ensuring completion of this project in an
expeditious and cost effective manner.

USH-42 Mission Recorder

The conferees agree that from funding provided in fiscal
year 1996 for the Defense AirBorne Reconnaissance Program,
$10,000,000 may be used for the planned product improvement
that will result in a low cost, lightweight, high capacity,
digital version of the Navy's USH-42 recorder/reproducer
suitable for a wide range of applications in reconnaissance
and surveillance platforms.

Developmental Test and Evaluation, Defense

The conference agreement is as follows:

TITLE V--REVOLVING AND MANAGEMENT FUNDS

The conferees agree to the following amounts for Revolving
and Management Funds program:

Defense Business Operations Fund

The conferees agree to provide $878,700,000 for the Defense
Business Operations Fund.

National Defense Sealift Fund

The conferees agree to provide $1,024,220,000 for the
National Defense Sealift Fund.

The legislative authority in this Act to procure an
additional Maritime Prepositioning Ship for up to
$110,000,000 may not be used until a notification has been
provided at least 30 days in advance of release of a RFP
under this authority to the congressional defense committee
on the Department of the Navy's intent to use the authority
and on identification and justification of proposed financing
sources.

TITLE VI--OTHER DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE PROGRAMS

breast cancer

The conferees have provided an increase of $100,000,000
only for breast cancer. The conferees have provided
$75,000,000 to continue the Army's peer-reviewed research
program. In addition, the conferees have provided $25,000,000
to the Department for: increased recruitment, training and
education for military cancer specialists; diagnostic
equipment and improved detection technologies, such as
digital mammography; and prevention and education efforts for
the military community.

tricare implementation

The conferees commend the significant progress of the
Department of Defense in moving toward a nation-wide managed
health care system for the military, known as TRICARE.
Existing law mandates that the TRICARE system be implemented
by September 30, 1996, and the Department has attempted to
meet this deadline. Unfortunately, complications with the
issuance and implementation of these large, complex,
competitively bid contracts, have caused significant problems
and associated delays. The conferees are concerned that the
Department has accelerated the process in order to meet this
statutory deadline. The conferees understand the Department
is fully committed to the full implementation of TRICARE, as
well as a standard health benefit for all military
beneficiaries, but believe that the Department, the offerors,
and the beneficiaries would greatly benefit from additional
time in meeting the complex requirements of TRICARE.
Therefore, the conferees agree to extend the deadline for
implementation of the TRICARE managed care system by one
year.

uniformed services university of the health sciences

The conferees remain committed to the continuation of the
Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USUHS)
at its current level and direct that, within funds made
available to the Defense Health program, the amount provided
for USUHS shall fully fund the programs and functions of the
University at existing levels.

Chemical Agents and Munitions

The conference agreement is as follows:

Drug Interdiction and Counter-Drug Activities

The conferees agree to provide $688,432,000 as proposed by
the House instead of $680,432,000 as proposed by the Senate.
The conference agreement is as follows:

The conferees agree to provide $4,000,000 above the budget
to the Gulf States Counterdrug Initiative, and direct that
$2,000,000 be provided for the Command, Control,
Communications and Computer Network and $2,000,000 for the
Regional Counterdrug Training Academy.
The conferees have deleted bill language which provided
$5,000,000 for the conversion of surplus Department of
Defense helicopters by State and local governments for use in
counterdrug activities and agree that funding may be
requested in annual plans submitted by individual states.
The conferees agree that, if authorized, up to $3,000,000
in available funds may be used to continue the Community
Outreach pilot program.
The conferees agree that, in accordance with normal
reprogramming procedures, up to $25,000,000 in available
funds may be used to procure low-energy/backscatter x-ray
equipment.

Office of the Inspector General

The conferees agree to provide $178,226,000 for the Office
of the Inspector General. Of this amount, $177,226,000 shall
