classified program adjustments
The Committee recommends adjustments to certain classified
programs, as explained in the classified annex to the
Committee's report.
Compliance With 302(b) Allocation
The Appropriations Committee conformed fully to the budget
resolution for defense spending in its 302(b) allocation. This
allocation divided the budget authority and outlays among the
subcommittees with jurisdiction over discretionary spending.
The Defense Subcommittee has the greatest share of defense
spending. In this recommended bill, the Appropriations
Committee has remained within the tight constraints of its
302(b) allocation for defense.

Pay raise.--The President's fiscal year 2000 budget
requests a 4.4-percent military pay raise. The Committee
supports a more robust military pay increase, and recommends a
4.8-percent pay raise for military personnel, the largest
increase in basic military pay in nearly a generation. This
enhanced pay raise will keep military compensation attractive,
help ensure that military pay is competitive with private
sector wages, and enable the services to continue to attract
and retain a highly qualified volunteer force. This pay raise
is effective January 1, 2000.
Pay table reform.--The Committee supports pay table reform
using targeted pay raises to reward performance and promotion
over longevity. Pay table reform will result in a second pay
raise during fiscal year 2000, up to an additional 5.5-percent,
for individuals in critical grades. Pay table reform and the
associated pay raise is effective July 1, 2000.
Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps (JROTC).--The
Committee recognizes the value and importance of the Junior
ROTC program for our nation's high school students. The
Committee endorses the JROTC mission statement: ``. . . to
instill in students in United States secondary educational
institutions the value of citizenship, service to the United
States, personal responsibility, and a sense of
accomplishment.''
Although the Congress has authorized up to 3,500 JROTC
units, the Department has established and funded approximately
2,600 units. The Committee directs the Department to increase
funding for the JROTC program to the fully authorized level. To
achieve this goal in fiscal year 2000, the Committee has
provided $6,900,000 in the Service reserve personnel
appropriations, and $20,250,000 in the Service active operation
and maintenance appropriations.
Further, the Committee directs the Department to provide a
comprehensive report by March 1, 2000, on the status of the
JROTC program, including a plan to increase the program to
3,500 units.

operation and maintenance overview
Operation and maintenance appropriations provide the
resources required by the U.S. Armed Forces, and supporting
defense agencies, to prepare for and conduct combat operations,
and other peace time missions. These funds are used to purchase
fuel and spare parts for training operations, pay supporting
civilian personnel, and purchase supplies, equipment, and
service contracts for the repair of weapons and facilities.
combating terrorism
Within the operation and maintenance appropriations, the
Committee has provided significant resources for the
antiterrorism activities of the Department. The Committee
supports the unified management and focus of these funds, as
described in Senate Report 106-50, the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2000. The Committee expects
the Secretary of Defense to report to the congressional defense
committees describing the use of the following amounts to
achieve combating terrorism objectives. The following funding
is available in fiscal year 2000:
Army.................................................... $497,800,000
Navy.................................................... 284,100,000
Marine Corps............................................ 11,900,000
Air Force............................................... 151,500,000
Defense-wide............................................ 317,400,000
Army Reserve............................................ 22,400,000
Navy Reserve............................................ 5,300,000
Air Force Reserve....................................... 21,600,000
Army National Guard..................................... 41,300,000
Air National Guard...................................... 100,000
DOD Inspector General................................... 500,000
--------------------------------------------------------
____________________________________________________
Total............................................. 1,353,900,000
RAID TEAMS
The Committee supports the establishment of 17 Rapid
Assessment and Initial Detection (RAID) teams pursuant to the
action provided in the Senate defense authorization bill.
Accordingly, the Committee provided funding for an additional
198 Army National Guard and 66 Air National Guard full-time
(AGR) personnel to facilitate this mission. Operation and
maintenance funding of $79,635,000 for RAID teams is provided
within the amounts described for combating terrorism above.
Quality of Life Enhancements, Defense
The Committee recognizes that the readiness of the all
volunteer force derives not only from realistic combat training
and serviceable equipment and weapons, but also from the
quality of life which military personnel enjoy from livable
quarters and related facilities. To improve the living
conditions of service men and women, the Committee
traditionally provided funding in either the barracks
renovation initiative, or more recently, in the Quality of Life
Enhancements, Defense account. For fiscal year 2000, the
Department of Defense has followed Committee practice and
requested Quality of Life Enhancements, Defense funds. The
Department has, however, in an effort to circumvent the
discretionary budget outlay limits established in the Budget
Enforcement Act, expanded the scope and purpose of this
account. Rather than providing Quality of Life Enhancement
funds for unspecified real property maintenance projects, the
Committee has appropriated and added funds in the appropriate
service accounts.
Unutilized Plant Capacity
The Committee remains concerned with the costs of
industrial preparedness, and the overhead rates at Department
of Defense arsenals. The budget justification materials of the
Department of Defense submitted to Congress for each fiscal
year after fiscal year 2000 shall within the OP-32 exhibit
include a descriptive budget line which describes the funding
for unutilized plant capacity.
A-76 Studies
The Committee is aware of the Department of Defense's
intention to compete the jobs of federal employees under OMB
Circular A-76. The Committee is concerned that projected
savings through A-76 planned competitions do not match actual
savings. The Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to
submit a report to the Senate and House Appropriations
Subcommittees on Defense within 60 days of enactment on the use
of OMB A-76 by the Department to contract in work. The report
shall list the instances since 1995, when work performed by
contractors has been converted to performance by civilian
employees of the Department. For each instance of contracting
in, the report shall include the types of work, the locations
where the work was performed, the name of the contractor that
was performing the work, the cost of contractor performance at
the time the work was contracted in, and the current cost of
performance by civilian employees of the Department. The report
shall include a discussion of legal, regulatory, or budgetary
obstacles to the appropriate use of contracting in to make the
operations of the Department more efficient. The report shall
also include recommendations for maximizing the possibility of
effective public-private competition for work that has been
contracted out.
Not later than 90 days after the date on which the
Secretary submits the annual report, the Comptroller General
shall submit to the Senate and House Appropriations
Subcommittee on Defense the Comptroller General's views on
whether the Department has complied with the requirements for
the report.
Pentagon Renovation Transfer Fund
The Committee has consolidated the funding for the
Pentagon's ongoing renovation from the service and defense wide
operation and maintenance accounts into a separate
appropriation in Title II. The Committee directs the Department
to utilize this fund for future budget request submissions to
the Congress, with a delineation of contributions by department
and organization.
Operation and Maintenance, Army
Appropriations, 1999.................................... $17,185,623,000
Budget estimate, 2000................................... 18,610,994,000
Committee recommendation................................ 19,161,852,000
The Committee recommends an appropriation of
$19,161,852,000. This is $550,858,000 above the budget
estimate.
SUMMARY OF COMMITTEE ADJUSTMENTS
Allocations of the Committee adjustments are made for each
operation and maintenance, Army funding category identified in
the Department's O-1 submission. A table showing the budget
estimate, Committee adjustment, and recommended funding level
by O-1 category is provided below. Proposed transfers of funds
within budget activity funding categories in excess of
$15,000,000 are subject to standard reprogramming procedures.

COMMITTEE ADJUSTMENTS
Program reductions.--The Committee supports the Army
efforts to adapt force structure, doctrine and technology to
better meet future security threats. The Committee has provided
funding for the Joint Contingency Force experiment, the Aim XXI
program, and assorted communications upgrades. The Committee
recommends several adjustments to programs with unjustified
program growth such as post production software support,
headquarters increases, service-wide communications, the AWE
and administration. Funding for the Pentagon renovation has
been transferred to the Pentagon renovation transfer fund.
Real Property Maintenance.--Despite the determined efforts
of the Committee to fund the training operations which the Army
conducts to achieve measurable readiness standards, the service
has repeatedly failed to execute the plans presented to, and
approved by Congress. The Army explains this migration of
training resources to other activities as ``fact-of-life''
adjustments required to balance funding levels across the
Operation and Maintenance appropriation. To protect the
training subactivity groups associated with operational
readiness, the Committee has supported fully and added
$97,000,000 to the Army's real property maintenance and base
operations plan. The Committee directs that real property
maintenance funds recommended in the bill shall provide the
following program in fiscal year 2000:
Committee
Command recommendation

Undistributed........................................... 132,000,000
--------------------------------------------------------
____________________________________________________
Total............................................. 1,516,228,000
Air Battle Captain.--The Committee has included $1,250,000
for the Air Battle Captain helicopter flight training program.
Of this amount, $250,000 shall be directed to a national
recruitment campaign specifically targeted to the program. The
Army is directed to provide a detailed recruitment plan to the
Committee for its review within sixty days of enactment of this
Act. The Committee intends that the balance of this funding
shall be expended on activities directly associated with flight
training prescribed by the Air Battle Captain program
curriculum for helicopter training. In addition, the Committee
directs the Army to execute its pending agreement for
continuation of the program.
Ravenna Army Ammunition Plant.--The Committee understands
that the Army has responsibility for the environmental cleanup
of approximately 9,000 acres of the Ravenna Army Ammunition
Plant. The Committee urges the Army to develop a comprehensive
plan and an associated timeline for the remediation of its
portion of the facility.
Marion Engineering Depot.--The Committee urges the Corps of
Engineers to review the level of contaminants recently found at
this site and recommends that the Corps consider this facility
a priority for future funding.
Fort Des Moines Historic Memorial.--The Committee
recommends an increase of $2,000,000 for the repair and
refurbishment of the grounds and facilities of Fort Des Moines
to support the establishment of the historic OCS museum and
memorial.
Joint Assessment Neurological Examination Equipment Upgrade
for combat medical specialist.--The Committee recommends an
additional $1,500,000 for the Army Medical Center and School to
continue the joint assessment neurological evaluation equipment
upgrade for training and sustainment proficiency of the combat
medical specialist.
Range Safe Technology Demonstration.--The Committee urges
the Army to explore emerging technologies that treat low level
radioactive waste on site. Treatment on site would preclude
hauling contaminated material to approved and specifically
designated landfills. The cost of tracking, transport and
storage of radioactive waste to these landfills is extremely
costly and adds considerable expense to the overall cost of the
remediation. These new technologies offer promise that they
would result in significant savings.
Fort Knox MOUT Facility.--The Committee supports the full
funding by the Army of the base operations support for the MOUT
facility at Fort Knox.
Firefighting Equipment Conveyance.--The Committee directs
the Secretary of the Army to consider conveying the
firefighting equipment at the Military Ocean Terminal, Bayonne
(MOTBY) to the Bayonne Local Redevelopment Authority and the
City of Bayonne.
Automatic identification technologies.--The extensive
logistics and manufacturing capabilities within the Army can be
substantially improved through a relatively small investment in
expanding the application of automatic identification
technologies. Available commercial off-the-shelf systems will
readily improve inventory management, asset tracking and
distribution, as well as enhance in-process overhaul and
production activities. The Committee recommends that Rock
Island Arsenal be included as a priority facility for the
Department's Total Asset Visibility Implementation Plan, which
establishes the AIT road map for tracking assets from
production and overhaul through warehousing and distribution,
and other similar programs.

The Committee recommends an appropriation of
$22,841,510,000. This is $652,795,000 above the budget
estimate.
SUMMARY OF COMMITTEE ADJUSTMENTS
Allocations of the Committee adjustments are made for each

COMMITTEE ADJUSTMENTS
Program reductions.--The Committee is concerned with the
growing difficulties experienced by the Navy in sustaining non-
deployed readiness. Past shortfalls in non-deployed readiness,
and recruiting programs have now degraded the readiness of
deploying units. The Committee has recommended program
increases for weapons maintenance, real property maintenance,
ship depot maintenance and repair, and the Shipyard Apprentice
program. Programs such as Air Systems Support and Fleet
Ballistic Missile programs were decreased due to consistent
under execution of funds. Funding for the Pentagon renovation
has been transferred to the Pentagon renovation transfer fund.
Barrow landfill.--Of the funds provided in this account,
the Committee directs the Department of the Navy to provide
$3,000,000 for costs associated with the closure of the Barrow
landfill. The Department of Defense sited, developed, and
managed this landfill for 31 years, with the Naval Arctic
Research Laboratory located at Barrow as the primary user of
the facility. The Committee urges the Department of Defense to
continue to work with the North Slope Borough in closing the
landfill and determining continuing funding responsibilities.
These funds should be provided to the appropriate local
government entity.
Shipyard Apprenticeship Program.--The Committee recommends
an increase of $12,000,000 for the Shipyard Apprenticeship
Program at the public shipyards. The downsizing over the past
decade at our Navy shipyards has increased the average age of
the shipyard worker to nearly 45 years, and limited the ability
of Navy managers to hire new apprentices. The Committee
believes this matter requires sustained attention. Funds have
been added to augment working capital funds and other resources
to ensure that this program is not forced to compete with depot
maintenance requirements. The Committee expects these funds
shall only be used to support apprentices, and that the funding
provided shall be in addition to any other resources requested
in the budget for work force revitalization. The Committee
directs the Navy to report to the Appropriations Committees by
April 1, 2000, on the status of this program, by shipyard.
Shipyard infrastructure repairs.--From within the funds
provided for the maintenance of real property, $9,900,000 may
be used for the repair of the Charleston Naval Shipyard, and
$9,900,000 may be used for the conversion of the former
Philadelphia Naval Shipyard.
Propeller Maintenance and Overhaul.--The Committee directs
the Navy to establish a pilot program for the purpose of
verifying cost savings that can be achieved through the use of
a west coast propeller overhaul facility. The Committee further
directs that the selected facility provide innovative repair
processes and comprehensive training programs proven to enhance
propeller system reliability and enhance mission readiness at
reduced costs. The selected facility should be an FAA
authorized repair station capable of servicing applicable
models of the propeller system used on the target fleet of
Western Pacific based C-130 and P-3 aircraft.
The Committee further directs the Navy to provide the
Committee with a cost benefit analysis that includes
reliability improvement data resulting from this study of a
west coast pilot facility.
Sale of Navy Drydock No. 9 (AFDM-3).--The lease covering
Navy Drydock No. 9 (AFDM-3) shall be deemed to include all
clauses authorized by section 2667(b) of title 10, U.S. Code.
The Secretary of the Navy is directed to sell the drydock to
the lessee at its fair market value, as provided by that law,
upon receipt of a written notice from the lessee of its intent
to exercise its option to purchase the leased property. For
purposes of this provision, the term ``fair market value''
means the value of the drydock in its present condition less
the estimated cost of scrapping the vessel.
Public Service Initiative.--The United States must ensure
close cooperation and understanding between the military and
civil components of society. Fewer people, including leaders,
perform military service now than in our recent history. As a
pilot program, the Navy should work with the legislative branch
center for public service to include military service in its
public service programs.

Program reductions.--The Committee observes that the budget
request for Marine Corps expeditionary forces readiness is
below the levels appropriated in fiscal year 1999. Past funding
shortfalls in Navy and Marine Corps non-deployed readiness
activities have begun to degrade the readiness of deploying
units. To mitigate this funding shortfall, the Committee has
recommended program increases for initial issue, real property
maintenance, distance learning and Marine-option NROTC. Funding
for the Pentagon renovation has been transferred to the
Pentagon renovation transfer fund.

committee adjustments
Program reductions.--The Committee supports the Air Force
efforts to adapt force structure to the Air Expeditionary Force
concept, and remedy spare parts shortfalls. Air Force operation
and maintenance programs are generally growing at a rate
greater than inflation. The budget request sought general
funding increases to some programs that had not realized
planned savings in prior years. The Committee recommends
several adjustments to programs with unjustified program growth
such as service-wide communications, and contract costs. Other
programs such as Space Control Systems, Launch Vehicles, and
Arms Control have experienced under execution of funds. Funding
for the Pentagon renovation has been transferred to the
Pentagon renovation transfer fund.
B-52 attrition reserve aircraft.--Despite the clear
direction of the Committee, which was provided in Senate Report
105-200, the Air Force has decided to reduce the total aircraft
inventory of B-52s during fiscal year 2000. The Committee has
provided sufficient operation and maintenance funding to
support a force structure of 94 aircraft. No later than June 1,
2000, the Secretary of the Air Force shall report to the
Committee any intention or proposal to reduce the B-52s from
the level directed. Additionally, the Committee directs the Air
Force to treat all 94 B-52s now in the force structure as
aircraft to be retained for the six year period beginning
October 1, 1999.
Myrtle Beach Air Force Base.--The Committee urges the Air
Force to initiate environmental restoration at this site to
correct long-standing environmental concerns.
Radioactive iodine experimentation.--The Committee strongly
supports the progress that the Air Force has made in resolving
the claim filed on behalf of the Inupiat Eskimos who were
subjected to radioactive iodine 131 experimentation by the Air
Force in the mid-1950's. The Committee directs the Secretary of
the Air Force to report to the congressional defense committees
on the resolution of this matter no later than October 15,
1999.
Air Force Plant No. 3.--The Committee encourages the
Secretary of the Air Force to transfer by deed to the City of
Tulsa, Oklahoma, all of the property known as Air Force Plant
No. 3. The Committee strongly urges the Air Force to work
cooperatively with the City of Tulsa to mitigate the remaining
environmental contamination on this property as expeditiously
as possible. The Committee directs the Secretary of the Air
Force to report on the status of the title transfer no later
than December 15, 1999.
Global Combat Support System-Air Force (GCSS-AF).--The
Committee is pleased with the Air Force's progress on the
modernization and integration of critical combat support
systems under the Global Combat Support System-Air Force (GCSS-
AF) contract. This activity is important to future combat
readiness and is a major step toward interoperability between
the combat support systems of all services. The key to the
success of this effort is the underlying foundation of system
architecture and integration. The many benefits to be gained
from continued modernization and integration work under the
GCSS-AF contract are clear, particularly in terms of reduced
long-term maintenance costs for outdated legacy systems.
Tinker and Altus Air Force Base repairs.--The Committee
recommends an increase of $25,000,000 to real property
maintenance to provide for the repair of damages resulting from
tornadoes in May of 1999. The Air Force shall fund fully all
military personnel and flying hour costs related to the
restoration of these bases.
Air Force Technical Applications Center.--Preventing the
proliferation of nuclear weapons is one of the most important
issues facing the U.S. today. Multiple nuclear tests detonated
by India and Pakistan emphasize the need for a continued strong
nuclear monitoring capability. The Committee has funded fully
the budget request for Air Force Technical Applications
Center's (AFTAC) and strongly encourages AFTAC to make meeting
its operational nuclear test monitoring responsibilities a
first priority within these available funds.

COMMITTEE ADJUSTMENTS
Defense Threat Reduction and Treaty Compliance Agency.--The
Committee has reduced funding by $15,500,000 as a result of
anticipated delays in treaty implementation and scheduled
inspections. If additional funding is required to meet emergent
requirements stemming from valid treaty obligations, the
Committee expects the Department of Defense to submit a
reprogramming request subject to normal, prior approval
reprogramming procedures.
Procurement Technical Assistance Program [PTAP].--The
Committee commends the Department for fully funding the
Procurement Technical Assistance Program and subsequently
provides full funding for this worthwhile initiative. PTAP
shall continue to be designated a special interest program,
with written approval by the Appropriations Committees required
prior to any below-threshold reprogramming from this line.
Pine Bluff Arsenal Sustainment Training and Technical
Assistance Program.--The Committee directs the Department of
Defense to establish a Sustainment Training and Technical
Assistance Program at Pine Bluff Arsenal, AR for chemical and
biological defense equipment in support of the Department of
Justice equipment grant program.
Special Education Support.--The Committee recommends an
increase of $5,000,000 above the budget request to increase
assistance to those schools in the United States with high
concentrations of special needs children, particularly those
which are considered overseas assignments. The Committee
understands that the amounts currently provided by the Federal
government are insufficient to provide fully for the
requirements of those schools that have large special needs
populations of military dependents.
other defense programs
Legacy Program.--The Committee has provided $15,000,000 for
continuation of the Legacy Program and directs the Department
to provide adequate funding for this program in fiscal year
2001. From within these extra funds, the Committee expects the
Department to proceed with the preparation and execution of
conservation plans to raise and preserve the submarine Hunley.
Additionally, the Committee supports a major expansion and
renovation of the U.S.S. Constitution Museum and its archive
and artifact storage area planned as part of the museum's
preparation for the new millennium. This project will
dramatically improve both the preservation and public access
for more than 10,000 items form the U.S.S. Constitution's
history.
From within the funds provided, the Department should
proceed with the recovery of artifacts from the Confederate
Civil War ship, C.S.S. Alabama.
Outsourcing and Privatization.--The Secretary of Defense
shall submit to the defense committees, by March 15, 2000, a
report that includes the following elements: (a) the size of
the private sector workforce performing contracts for the
Department of Defense; (b) a cost analysis of contracts awarded
pursuant to OMB Circular A-76 in the last five years that
compares the cost of the federal employee contract at the time
of competition to the actual cost of the contract; (c) the
savings that are assumed in the fiscal year 2000 budget
submissions of each of the armed services due to outsourcing
and privatization activities; (d) an analysis of the amount and
value of contracts that were awarded to private contractors
through OMB Circular A-76 versus other mechanisms; and (e) the
dates for renewal for contracts of more than $2,000,000 that
were awarded pursuant to OMB Circular A-76.
Streamlining Acquisition of Environmentally Preferable
Products.--Pollution prevention activities by the Department of
Defense continue to prove financially viable with both short
and long term financial savings. An important element of
pollution prevention is the purchase of environmentally
preferable products (EPPs), as defined by Executive Order
13101. Accordingly, the Committee urges the Department of
Defense to provide adequate resources for efforts toward
implementation of the Executive Order. Further, the Department
should examine the feasibility of providing resources for
interagency activities for the development of environmental
preferability standards by appropriate Federal agencies or
nongovernmental organizations.
CIVIL-MILITARY PROGRAMS
The Committee continues to support the Department's civil-
military programs and provides a total of $88,503,000 for
fiscal year 2000 as follows:
[In thousands of dollars]
Youth Challenge Program....................................... 62,503
Innovative readiness training................................. 20,000
Starbase Youth Program........................................ 6,000
--------------------------------------------------------------
____________________________________________________
Total................................................... 88,394
The Committee directs the Department to report to the
Committee on Appropriations on the status of the obligation of
these funds not later than March 15, 2000.
Innovative Readiness Training.--The Department has
conducted civil-military innovative readiness training (IRT)
throughout the United States since the early 1990's. Through
the use of Active and Reserve component personnel, this program
provides community support in the areas of health care,
engineering, and infrastructure. These combat support and
service support units gain valuable hands-on mission essential
training. The Committee continues to strongly support this
realistic training. The Committee believes that the Department
should expand the scope of the readiness initiatives to include
native American groups when appropriate and compatible with
mission requirements.

HMMWV Contract Maintenance.--The Committee urges the Army
Reserve to consider contract maintenance for their light
tactical vehicle fleet.
Modern Burner Unit.--The Committee understands that
improving Army field feeding equipment is a major priority of
the U.S. Army. The Modern Burner Unit (MBU) was developed to
replace the gasoline burning M2 currently used in all Army
field-feeding applications. The MBU eliminates the pressurized
fuel system of the M2 and uses electronically controlled
components to decrease the production of hazardous emissions.
Fielding of the MBU directly supports the quality of life,
safety and the combat effectiveness of the soldier. The
Committee encourages the Army Reserve to identify the necessary
resources to continue the fielding of this system to key units.

3,156,378
National Missile Defense Planning Cell.--During fiscal year
2000, the Department of Defense will conduct a Deployment
Readiness Review to assess the feasibility of deploying an
operational national missile defense (NMD) system to defend the
United States against a limited strategic ballistic missile
threat. The National Guard will play an integral role in
manning and maintaining this ``one-of-a-kind'' system. The
Committee strongly encourages the National Guard Bureau to
create a dedicated NMD planning cell to facilitate coordination
and integration between the Ballistic Missile Defense NMD Joint
Program Office, Corps of Engineers, Department of the Army,
Guard Bureau and the lead system integrator.
The Committee recommends the identification and selection
of National Guard personnel to actively participate in planning
and development of doctrine regarding the NMD system. The
Committee believes that manning for this system will require
innovative doctrine and planning development to meet the
challenges in recruiting, training, and educating the personnel
that will man this national asset. Additional funding provided
in this section for full-time Guard manning will accommodate
this requirement for a planning cell. The Committee directs the
Secretary of the Army to report to the congressional defense
subcommittees on the status of the National Guard assuming this
mission, creation of a planning cell, and development of
associated NMD doctrine and concept of operations. This report
should be provided not later than April 15, 2000.
Real property maintenance, Army National Guard.--During the
past several years, the Committee provided an increase for in-
house recurring maintenance and day-to-day repairs, as well as
in-house and contract projects required to maintain, repair,
and adapt facility infrastructure to meet mission needs. The
Committee intends for these funds to be used to reduce the
growing Army National Guard real property maintenance project
backlog within the 54 Army Guard organizations, not for studies
or other administrative functions. The funds provided under
this heading are in addition to any other funds appropriated to
the Army for real property maintenance on behalf of the Army
National Guard. The Committee directs the Chief of the National
Guard Bureau provide to the Committee of Appropriations a
report detailing how these funds will be allocated not later
than March 15, 2000.
Distance learning initiative.--The Committee provides an
increase of $45,000,000 in the Army National Guard ``Operation
and maintenance'' appropriation and $45,000,000 in the ``Other
procurement, Army'' appropriation for distance learning and
information management requirements. The Committee continues to
support the regional distance learning initiative and creation
of a distance learning network to reduce costs of training
soldiers, as well as to track personnel and equipment
inventories. The program is now fielded nationwide to include
the territories.
The Committee urges the National Guard Bureau to examine
partnering opportunities with universities and state
governments that would facilitate community involvement in this
network and enhance its long term viability.
The Committee directs that funding for the distance
learning network be spent only for expansion and continuation
of the program. The Committee further directs the National
Guard Bureau provide to the congressional defense committees a
report on how the Department intends to allocate funding for
the distance learning program in fiscal year 2000 not later
than February 15, 2000.
Project Management System Pilot Project.--The Committee
understands that the National Guard Bureau has begun to
implement a Project Management System Pilot Program which will
provide a fully integrated, scheduling and financial project
management system. This system, which uses commercially
developed off-the-shelf technology, will present essential
information to decision makers in a timely manner. The
Committee urges the Department of Defense to review it
applicability for use throughout the Department.
BASE PACE.--The Committee believes that in the future the
most cost-effective means of military education will be
distributive learning, with basic computer skills providing the
foundation. The Committee is aware that the Distributive
Technologies Innovation Center of the U.S. Army National Guard
Training and Technology Battle Lab has developed the BASE PACE
pilot program to provide distributive learning opportunities to
improve military occupational speciality skills. The Committee
urges the Department to continue this important program.
Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT).--The Committee
understands that the National Guard has initiated a pilot
program to protect intra-state computer networks. The five
states that currently have teams have expressed support for
this new innovative concept. The Committee encourages the
National Guard Bureau to assess the requirement and feasibility
of expanding this initiative.
Net Trooper Program.--With the tremendous growth of
distance learning initiatives throughout the Department of
Defense, the Committee believes that all military personnel
need the appropriate tools and training to maximize these
opportunities. The Net Trooper program provides an advanced
computer and Internet learning tool that appears to have great
potential in meeting these goals. The Committee urges the
National Guard Bureau to consider this software for
incorporation into its distance learning program.
First responder missions.--The Committee encourages the
National Guard Bureau to give consideration to the Washington
Army National Guard at Camp Murray for development and
enhancement of courseware development and commercially
available off-the-shelf (COTS) management system software and
hardware to meet unfunded Army National Guard functional
training requirements for ``first responder'' missions such as
weapons of mass destruction, information operations and the
Rapid Assessment and Initial Detection (RAID) teams.

C-130 operations.--The Committee recognizes the increased
demand placed on C-130 aircraft operations within the Air
National Guard and has provided $5,000,000 to address increased
operations, maintenance, and supports costs. Such funds are
intended to support both the C-130 aircraft assigned to
operational squadrons and for full coverage of the cost of
operating and maintaining those stand alone aircraft currently
utilized by selected States.
Air National Guard Civil Engineer Force Structure.--The
Committee understands that the Air Force is reassessing its
total civil engineer requirements in light of emerging
Expeditionary Aerospace Force (EAF) and weapons of mass
destruction initiatives. Currently, the Air Guard civil
engineering force is programmed to lose many key specialities
to include engineering, electrical power production, heating/
ventilation/air conditioning, pavements, structural, utilities,
liquid fuels, environmental, operations, fire protection and
readiness. The Air Guard's capabilities to support the total
force contingency and wartime taskings will be drastically
reduced by these projected manpower reductions.
The Committee directs the Secretary of the Air Force to
report to the congressional defense committees on the Air Force
plan to realign the total civil engineer force structure and
its future ability to support wartime requirements in this area
no later than November 15, 1999.
Fort Belknap Training Range.--The Committee provides an
additional $2,000,000 for studies required for the Fort Belknap
Training Range.
Defense Systems Evaluation (DSE).--Of the funds provided
under this heading, the Committee directs that $2,500,000 be
used to continue DSE service to the White Sands Missile Range.
C\4\ Systems Support.--The Committee has learned that the
recent conversion of two active Air Force bases to C-17
training and daily operations revealed deficiencies in
communications infrastructure, which provided significant
impediment to the bases' efficient conversion. The Committee is
also aware that the Air National Guard unit, which will receive
the first Air National Guard C-17 aircraft, also suffers from
communications obsolescence. To ensure that this Air Guard unit
and bed-down location meet the increased technical requirements
of Command, Control, Communication and Computers (C\4\), the
Air Force is directed to review the capabilities of this unit
and provide a detailed report to the Committee by 1 November
1999. The report shall include the Air Force's plans to ensure
that the required base infrastructure improvements are
completed at this location prior to the arrival of the first C-
17 aircraft.
OVERSEAS CONTINGENCY OPERATIONS TRANSFER FUND
Appropriations, 1999.................................... $439,400,000
Budget estimate, 2000................................... 2,387,600,000
Committee recommendation................................ 2,087,600,000
Contingency Operations.--During 1997, the Department of
Defense established a Readiness panel as part of the
Quadrennial Defense Review. The Readiness panel considered
several methods for funding the cost of peacekeeping
operations, having recognized that the administration's policy
of engaging in indefinite peacekeeping operations was causing a
migration of funds from modernization to operation and
maintenance activities. The Secretary of Defense chose not to
implement any of the funding alternatives presented by the
Readiness panel.
The Committee is concerned that after two years from the
inception of the QDR, the Department of Defense has failed to
establish a consistent policy for the equitable funding of
contingency operations across the Armed Services. For example,
by classifying standard operation and maintenance activities at
bases within the continental U.S. (such as real property
maintenance, base operations, civilian personnel costs, range
upgrades, and weapons and vehicle maintenance), as incremental
costs, the Army has funded these activities as contingency
operations. The costs of training preparation for Bosnia ground
units, moreover, are no longer incremental, as these units have
been identified long in advance of deployment. The Air Force,
in fiscal year 1998, expended contingency costs in nearly every
subactivity group within the O&M; appropriation. The Navy
routinely funds the costs of contingencies and deployments from
within available O&M; funding. Further confusing the
Department's funding of contingencies is the financing of
second destination transportation for Bosnia from Defense
Working Capital Fund cash resources.
In light of this misuse of the Overseas Contingency
Operations Transfer Fund, and the reduction in personnel
supporting operations in Bosnia subsequent to the submission of
the budget estimate, the request is reduced by $300,000,000.
The Department, moreover, was provided additional
supplemental contingency funding for fiscal year 1999 as
described in H.R. 1141, as enacted.
The Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller) shall continue
to notify the defense subcommittees 30 days in advance if the
Department expects to exceed the total allotment for a given
contingency and to provide quarterly reports to the defense
subcommittees. These reports shall include amounts transferred
and the requirements funded, in the same format as provided in
supplemental and reprogramming requests.

Appropriations, 1999.................................... $7,324,000
Budget estimate, 2000................................... 7,621,000
Committee recommendation................................ 7,621,000
The Committee recommends an appropriation of $7,621,000 for
activities of the Court of Military Appeals for fiscal year
2000.
Environmental Restoration
Total Appropriations, 1999.............................. $1,268,431,000
Budget estimate, 2000................................... 1,263,554,000
Committee recommendation................................ 1,303,554,000
The Committee recommends a total amount for environmental
restoration of $1,303,554,000. This is $40,000,000 above the
budget estimate.
Environmental Contracting.--The Committee remains concerned
with the degree that the Department of Defense is using large
Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts, such
as the Remedial Action Contract (RAC) and the Total
Environmental Restoration Contract (TERC), to execute their
overall environmental restoration program. Some of these
contract awards have dollar values of more than $300,000,000,
encompass a broad geographic area and can remain in effect over
a ten-year period.
For example, the Navy executed 35 percent of its
environmental remediation program in fiscal year 1998 using RAC
contracts. This contracting strategy was originally envisioned
for clean up requirements that were high priority, complex and
time sensitive. However, IDIQ contracts have become the
preferred contractual vehicle for environmental work throughout
the Department. While the Committee recognizes the need for
flexibility in environmental contracting, the use of these
large, undefinitized contracts often precludes local contractor
and small business involvement in DOD's clean up work.
Accordingly, the Committee directs that not more than 25
percent of funding obligated to the Department of Defense for
environmental remediation shall be executed through indefinite
delivery/indefinite quantity contracts with a total contract
amount of $130,000,000 or higher. Further, the Committee
directs that the Secretary of Defense report to the
congressional defense committees not later than January 15,
2000, on their use of IDIQ contracts during fiscal year 1999,
and that this information be provided quarterly throughout
fiscal year 2000.
Compliance with defense acquisition regulations.--For
environmental restoration projects subject to the terms of
section 52.2222 of the Defense Federal acquisition regulations
[DFAR], the Committee directs that any awardee of contracts for
such projects exceeding $1,000,000 shall submit a plan for
compliance with section 52.2222 of the DFAR to the appropriate
contracting office not later than 90 days after contract award.
Notification of environmental contract awards.--The
Committee remains concerned that the Department failed to fully
accomplish the Committee's intent regarding adequate
notification of the projects funded by this account. To ensure
the Department complies with this direction, each military
service shall notify interested State and local authorities and
interested Members of Congress upon release of draft
solicitations for contracts anticipated to exceed $5,000,000.
The Committee directs that this requirement shall apply to all
increments of indefinite delivery indefinite quantity-type
contracts which meet this threshold.
The Committee has provided the following funding for each
service:

UH-60 Helicopters.--The Committee recommends an addition of
$121,000,000 for the purchase of 6 UH-60L and 5 UH-60Q model
helicopters. The Committee directs the six UH-60L's shall be
made available to the Army National Guard.
AH-64 Apache Longbow.--The Committee believes the Army
decision to reduce the Apache Longbow inventory objective is
short sighted and unaffordable. The new plan to adjust the
Apache Longbow inventory to 530 helicopters and 500 radars from
the plan of 748 helicopters and 227 radars has several
implications which the Army did not fund. First, the remaining
A-model Apaches will now require a service life extension
program and will force the Army to maintain unique support
equipment, spares, and training--all currently unfunded in Army
budget plans. Further, the Army has not fully funded the
additional fire control radars and engine modifications.
Finally, this unaffordable Army decision ignores the doctrinal
plan to rely on a single fire control radar-equipped Apache to
support multiple Longbow-capable Apaches.
The Committee believes the previous Apache Longbow
acquisition strategy was more appropriate to the Army's
requirements, operating doctrine and budget resources. The
Committee directs the Army to develop an affordable, fully
budgeted plan for the Apache Longbow program. The Committee
directs the Secretary of the Army to submit a report on this
plan with the fiscal year 2001 Department of Defense budget
request.
Kiowa Warrior.--The Committee has provided an increase of
$2,600,000 for Crew Station Mission Equipment Trainers (CSMET).
CSMET supports Army Aviation requirements for the new, higher
fidelity Kiowa Warrior Crew Trainer (KWCT) of the future. The
Committee understands that this change will integrate CSMET
equipment with the KWCT program that will include sensor and
gunnery training.
Missile Procurement, Army
Appropriations, 1999.................................... $1,388,268,000
Budget estimate, 2000................................... 1,358,104,000
Committee recommendation................................ 1,267,698,000
The Committee recommends an appropriation of $1,267,698,000
for the Army's fiscal year 2000 ``Missile procurement''
account. The Committee's recommended funding level is
$90,406,000 below the budget request.
This appropriation finances the procurement, production,
modification, and modernization of missiles, equipment,
including ordnance, ground handling equipment, spare parts, and
accessories therefore; specialized equipment and training
devices; expansion of public and private plants, including the
land necessary therefore, for the foregoing purposes, and such
lands and interest therein, may be acquired, and construction
prosecuted thereon prior to approval title; and procurement and
installation of equipment, appliances, and machine tools in
public and private plants; reserve plant and Government- and
contractor-owned equipment layaway; and other expenses.

Bradley base sustainment.--The Committee recommends an
increase of $3,000,000 to the Bradley base sustainment line for
the procurement of Bradley test sets, and $4,000,000 for the
Vehicular Intercommunications System (VIS) AN/VIC-3, cordless
communication system.
Bradley fighting vehicles.--The Army's budget request
includes $33,000,000 for the procurement of armor tiles for
Bradley fighting vehicles.
Howitzer, medium self-propelled fully-tracked 155 mm M-
109A6 (MOD).--The Committee recommends an increase of
$20,000,000 to modify additional Paladin equipment necessary to
complete fielding of 21 National Guard battalions and
$1,000,000 for the Vehicular Intercommunications System (VIS)
AN/VIC-3, cordless communication system on the Paladin.
Heavy assault bridge (HAB).--The Committee recommends an
increase of $14,000,000 for the synchronization of the HAB
program with the M-1A2 SEP Abrams upgrade, and $1,500,000 for
Wolverine Combat Mobility Vehicle test sets.
M-1 Abrams tank modification.--The Committee recommends an
increase of $2,000,000 for the Vehicular Intercommunications
System (VIS) AN/VIC-3, cordless communication system.
Items less than $5,000,000 (WOCV-WTCV).--The Committee
recommends an increase of $15,000,000 to procure Product
Improved Combat Vehicle Crewman's Headsets (PICVC), which have
greater electro-magnetic interference (EMI) protection.
M-88A2 improved recovery vehicle.--The M-88A2 IRV is now
being fielded to Army armor units to alleviate significant
safety problems in recovery operations of M-1 tanks. The
Committee is concerned that the Army has not funded procurement
of the M-88A2 IRV in fiscal year 2000. The Army should continue
this important program at an economic production rate until the
service has achieved its inventory requirement for tank
recovery vehicles.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tactical trailers/dolly sets.--The Committee recommends an
additional $6,000,000 in tactical trailers/dolly sets only for
the self-load/off-load trailer [SLOT].
Secure mobile antijam reliable tactical terminal (SMART-
T).--According to a recent review by the Director, Operational
Test and Evaluation, operational effectiveness of the SMART-T
has not been demonstrated. According to this review, ``the
SMART-T is not operationally suitable due to numerous training,
soldier efficiency, RAM [reliability, availability, and
maintainability], and integrated support logistics issues.''
The Report recommended that production of the SMART-T should be
``specifically limited to the first option (91) terminals''
while additional testing and assessment proceeds. The Army has
already acquired in excess of this number of terminals.
Therefore, the Committee recommends a reduction of $10,000,000.
Warfighter Information Network.--The Committee recommends
an increase of $40,000,000 to procure additional AN/TTC-56
single shelter switches with associated support assemblages and
network management capability.
Secure terminal equipment.--The Committee recommends an
additional $12,500,000 in the Information System Security
Program [ISSP], of which $6,000,000 is for the Tactical Secure
Terminal Equipment Program, $5,000,000 is for the MX5T Secure
Information System, and $1,500,000 is for the Portable
Uninterruptable Universal Power Supply System.
Multi-Purpose Range Targetry Electronics.--To ensure timely
and efficient execution of all phases of the Multi-Purpose
Range Complex-Heavy at Camp Shelby, on which construction will
begin in fiscal year 2000, the Committee recommends an
additional $5,100,000 in the Worldwide Technical Control
Improvement Program (WWTCIP) to procure the Targetry
electronics to be placed underground during the early phase of
the project.
Night Vision Equipment.--The Committee recommends an
additional $50,000,000 for night vision equipment. The
Committee agrees that the night vision equipment account shall
be executed by the Army with priority interest given to the
following items: AN/PAS-13 Thermal Weapon Sights; AN/PEQ-2A
Target Pointer Illuminator Aiming Lights (TPIAL); Tactical
Surveillance Night Vision Devices; AN/PAC-4C Infrared Aiming
Lights; AN/AVS-5 Driver's Vision Enhancer (DVE); AN/PVS-4 and
AN/TVS-5 night vision devices; AN/PVS-7D night vision devices;
25 mm generation III image intensifier tubes.
Modification of in-service equipment.--The Committee is
concerned about reports that the Firefinder radar system has
suffered from high false alarm rates in urban environments
during recent deployments. The Committee recommends an increase
of $8,100,000 to modify in-service systems and approve system
reliability.
High mobility multipurpose wheeled vehicle.--The Committee
has recommended the procurement of up-armored High Mobility
Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicles (HMMWV) at a level consistent
with the President's budget request. The HMMWV, including its
up-armored variant, fulfills a number of critical mission
requirements and has demonstrated its capabilities in
peacekeeping operations in Bosnia. The Committee is aware that
the potential for extended military operations in the former
Yugoslavia could require additional up-armored HMMWVs beyond
those requested in the President's budget. The Army shall
provide to the Committee a report outlining potential needs for
additional up-armored HMMWVs by December 1, 2000.
Striker-Command and Control System.--The Committee
recommends an additional $10,000,000 in the Striker-Command and
Control System, of which $5,000,000 is for the Striker HMMWV
based targeting platform for Combat Observing Lazer Teams
(COLT), and $5,000,000 is for the procurement of test program
sets for the Bradley Striker Program.
LOGTECH.--The Committee recommends an additional $5,000,000
in LOGTECH for Army Automatic Identification Technology (AIT)
Integration efforts for maintenance processes and automated
information systems.
Ribbon bridge.--New Multi-Role Bridge Companies (MRBC) are
being established in the U.S. Army and the U.S. Army National
Guard. The Guard is a key element in the total Army Engineer
bridge force. The MRBC is the doctrinal response to the needed
restructure of the current bridge companies to safeguard
bridging stocks, improve the training of bridge builders, and
retain bridging capabilities required by maneuver commanders.
The Committee recommends $13,500,000 to procure the key
equipment items that are required to create one MRBC.
Lightweight Maintenance Enclosure (LME).--The Committee
recommends an additional $3,200,000 in the Lightweight
Maintenance Enclosure (LME) program.
Water purification systems.--The Committee recommends an
additional $3,000,000 for additional 3,000 gallon per hour
tactical water purification systems (TWPS).
Combat support medical.--The Committee recommends an
additional $4,000,000 in the Combat Support Medical line to
acquire additional Life Support for Trauma and Transport
(LSTAT) units in order to achieve Initial Operational
Capability (IOC) of the system.
Combat training centers support.--The Committee recommends
an increase of $7,000,000 to establish a deployable force-on-
force instrumentation range system (DFIRST) pilot program. The
Committee directs the Secretary of the Army to provide a report
on the results of the pilot program and the potential future
use of DFIRST as a training enhancement for reserve component
training requirements. Additionally, the Committee recommends
an increase of $3,000,000 to complete instrumentation for the
JRTC MOUT site at Fort Polk, Louisiana.
Training devices, nonsystem.--The Committee recommends an
additional $3,500,000 for the Improved Moving Target Simulator
Upgrade Program.
Modification of in-service equipment (OPA-3).--The
Committee recommends an additional $8,000,000 for the Army's
Commercial Construction Equipment (CCE) Service Life Extension
Program (SLEP).
REMBASS II.--The Committee recommends that the Army examine
the option applying additional funds to the Remotely Monitored
Battlefield Sensor System (REMBASS) II, an all-weather
battlefield intelligence support system that is about one-third
the weight and one-quarter the cost of its predecessor, the
Improved REMBASS (IREMBASS).

C-135.--The Committee understands that there are a number
of commercial engines which could enhance the capability,
improve the performance, and lower the maintenance costs of
707-based aircraft. The Committee also understands that the
existing strong market for such commercial engines may permit
DOD to lease these engines at favorable rates and with little
or no lease termination liability. Accelerated reengining
through leasing will allow DOD to realize substantial
operations and maintenance cost savings on 707 platforms.
Excepting Rivet Joint aircraft, the Committee believes any
further re-engining of C-135 aircraft should be completed
through a competitive program to lease commercial engines.
The Committee directs that the Department of Defense
initiate a pilot program to re-engine the Joint Stars fleet
with leased commercial engines. The Committee directs that the
Deputy Secretary of Defense provide a report detailing DoD's
schedule and budget for re-engining JSTARS aircraft with the
fiscal year 2001 budget submission.
Theater airborne warning sensor [TAWS].--At the direction
of the Congress, the Department of Defense reevaluated the need
for airborne infrared detection and tracking of theater
ballistic missiles. Based on this analysis, DOD concluded that
the airborne warning and control system [AWACS] Eagle and Rivet
Joint TAWS efforts should be brought to an orderly termination
with the results transferred to the Airborne Laser [ABL]
Program, a system which inherently provides this detection
capability.
The Committee endorses the Department of Defense conclusion
on airborne infrared system requirements. Since DOD completed
its assessment, development efforts have proceeded successfully
on a new generation of ballistic missile warning sensors. Every
Aegis ship can now detect and track theater ballistic missiles,
providing a more accurate estimate of the launch point and
impact point than TAWS. Further, the availability of upgraded
Patriot advanced capability 3 [PAC-3] missile radars and THAAD
ground-based radars [GBR] have significantly advanced the
Pentagon's ground-based missile tracking capability. Thus, the
Committee endorses bringing the TAWS Program to an orderly
conclusion and transferring any lessons learned to the ABL
Program.
C-17.--The Committee is aware of the recent unsolicited
proposal to provide the Air Force with 60 additional C-17
aircraft. This proposal offers a cost-effective way for the Air
Force to meet the continually growing airlift demands of
today's mobile force. The Committee further recognizes that
current C-17 inventory and basing plans will not meet the
timelines and lift requirements of Pacific theater airlift
missions. Already, we are learning from the Kosovo missions
that the airlift demand can quickly outstrip supply when we
suddenly are required to build the capability to operate from
an austere airfield.
With these thoughts in mind, the Committee has provided new
multi-year procurement authority to allow the Air Force to
enter into negotiations on the procurement of sixty additional
C-17's. The Committee understands that timely Air Force
decisions on the sharing of current C-17 production incentive
funds will ensure that this new C-17 multi-year procurement
option and favorable price are available to the Department of
Defense.
F-16.--The Committee has provided an increase of
$50,000,000 to the budget request to permit the Department of
Defense to purchase 12 F-16 aircraft in fiscal year 2000. The
Committee previously recognized the need to modernize Guard and
Reserve units which are operating F-16 aircraft which are
reaching the end of their service life. The Committee believes
the requirements of these units must be met and supports the
Air Force strategy to purchase new aircraft and then make
reallocations of the the F-16 inventory. To enable the cost
effective procurement of additional F-16's, the Committee has
provided $24,000,000 and multi-year procurement authority to
permit the purchase of 12 F-16's in fiscal year 2001.
Passenger Safety Modifications.--The Committee has provided
$40,000,000 for passenger safety modifications. The Committee
directs that these funds shall be available to the Air Force to
satisfy the requirements to modify aircraft with improved
passenger safety systems and to comply with Global Air Traffic
Management (GATM) standards. These funds are also available for
the addition of Terrain Awareness and Warning System (TAWS) to
KC-10, C-135, C-20, and T-43 aircraft.
On Board Oxygen Generating System (OBOGS).--The Committee
is concerned by the Air Force's lack of progress on the OBOGS
program. The Congress provided specific direction regarding
OBOGS in the reports accompanying the Department of Defense
Appropriations Act, 1999. The Committee directs the Secretary
of the Air Force to provide a report no later than October 15,
1999, outlining the specific steps the Air Force has taken to
comply with the Congress' directive language. The report should
further address the costs and potential cost savings of OBOGS
installations in appropriate aircraft, across the fleet or at
selected installations.
The Committee is also disturbed that the Department of
Defense has not considered all potential sources of OBOGS
equipment, particularly qualified small businesses. The
Committee directs that OBOGS purchases and installations be
made based on full and open competitive procurements which
allow all potential vendors a fair and equal opportunity to
provide OBOGS equipment.

ASVS.--The Committee recommends that the Department examine
expediting the transition to ``dry'' digital methods for the
collection data during aircraft and aircraft weapons separation
testing and other high-speed events. Currently, the Services
use 16 mm and 35 mm ``wet'' film cameras for such test
recording, which is costly, time-consuming, and environmentally
damaging. A ``dry'' system, such as the Airborne Separation
Video System (ASVS), would afford a high-frame rate digital,
color imaging system with higher resolution, a smaller remote
sensor, no environmental waste-product, and potential for
tremendous savings.
National Guard and Reserve Equipment
Appropriations, 1999.................................... $352,000,000

The Committee recommends a funding level of $300,000,000
for National Guard and Reserve dedicated equipment. This
recommendation is $300,000,000 above the budget request.
The appropriation for this account includes direction for
each Reserve or National Guard component commander to prepare
and submit to the congressional defense committees a detailed
assessment of that component's modernization priorities.
The Committee maintains that the Reserves and National
Guard should exercise control of funds provided for their
modernization in this account. The separate submission of these
assessments, directly from the components chiefs to the
committees will ensure that the Reserve and National Guard
priorities are addressed in the allocation of this
appropriation.

committee recommendations
The Committee has reflected a number of its funding
adjustments in a table format. The Committee directs that the
funding increases outlined in the tables which follow shall be
provided only for the specific purposes outlined in the table
entry.
Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation, Army
Appropriations, 1999.................................... $5,031,788,000
Budget estimate, 2000................................... 4,426,194,000
Committee recommendation................................ 4,905,294,000
The Committee recommends an appropriation of $4,905,294,000
for the Army's research, development, test, and evaluation
programs, an increase of $479,100,000 to the budget request.
The budget activities and programs funded under this
appropriation are discussed below.
Motar Anti-Personnel/Anti-Material (MPAM).--The Committee
is aware that there may be a more effective round of 60 mm
mortar ammunition than the current M720. Accordingly, the
Committee directs the Secretary of the Army to conduct a
comparative side-by-side test and evaluation program to
determine the lethality and effectiveness of MAPAM mortar
ammunition when compared to the M270 ammunition. Further, M270
shall be tested concurrently with MAPAM ammunition to establish
a current, complete and accurate evaluation baseline. The
Committee recommends $7,200,000 for the express purpose of (i)
conducting the side-by-side test program, (ii) conducting an
independent evaluation of the test results, and (iii) type
classification of the MAPAM ammunition.
Medical Technology.--The Committee supports advanced soft
tissue modeling research for application in the development of
advanced technology surgical simulation applications. The
Committee encourages the department to establish a public/
private research project in coordination with the National
Library of Medicine (NLM) to explore advanced soft tissue
modeling capability for use in developing a surgical simulation
technology application, and encourages the Department to make
available up to $8,500,000 from within available funds for this
effort.
Medical Advanced Technology.--The Committee has supported
promising advanced computer aided tomography (CAT) technology
development efforts. This technology, known as the Volume
AngioCAT, could integrate several technologies into a single
device capable of rapid whole body internal injury assessment.
The Committee directs the Surgeon General of the Army to
conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the Volume AngioCAT
development program, specifically addressing the program's
medical value and application to the unique needs of military
medicine, and provide a report to the Committee by March 1,
2000.
Management Headquarters.--The Committee recommends
$28,191,000 for Management Headquarters, of which $23,000,000
is only to support the prototyping, demonstration, validation,
and maturation of technology through the Akamai project. Within
these funds, $4,000,000 is for hyperspectral diagnostic
imaging, $3,000,000 is for the remote access to medical
specialists program, $3,000,000 is for target services for
special needs military children, and $1,000,000 is to establish
a technology transfer program to other federal government
entities that leverage existing DoD investment and reuse
successful telehealth prototypes.
Electroplating Technologies.--The Committee recognizes the
need to develop lead/tin-free solders in the many microcircuits
in the Department's equipment. Incorporating lead/tin-free
solders into the Department's microcircuits will reduce
environmental hazards such as human central nervous system
debilitation, lower manufacturing costs because of averted
regulatory compliance costs, and improve performance. The
Committee encourages the Army to allocate funds for the
development of lead/tin-free electroplating technologies to
meet this purpose.
Lightweight 155mm Towed Howitzer.--The Committee is
concerned that the Lightweight 155mm Towed Howitzer program has
been suffering from contractor and program deficiencies, which
has led to a 2-year delay in the program. The program has
failed to fully utilize the expertise of Army arsenals in the
development and design of the howitzer. Considering the long
history of the arsenals in advancing howitzer technological
development as well as refining production techniques, it is
important that they be actively involved in the program,
especially during the crucial EMD/prototype phase to ensure
that efficient production techniques are designed at the
earliest possible stage of the program. In addition, the
arsenals constitute an important resource in providing spare
parts and special development items for howitzer forces in time
of war and national emergencies.
The Committee believes the Army and the Marine Corps should
develop a plan to include the Rock Island Arsenal in all
aspects of howitzer development, design, and production,
including recoil mechanisms, carriages and gun tubes for the
Lightweight 155mm Towed Howitzer Program and all other Army/
Marine Corps future towed artillery programs. The Committee
expects the Army and the Marine Corps to issue a report to the
Senate and House Appropriations Subcommittees on Defense no
later than sixty days after the enactment of this bill
outlining the plan and the steps it has taken to implement it.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED ADJUSTMENTS
Committee Recommendations.--The following table lists
program recommendations proposed by the Committee. These
adjustments reflect the following committee actions:
elimination of funds requested for programs which are lower
priority, duplicative or not supported by firm requirements or
out-year development and procurement funds; deletion of excess
funds based on program delays or slow execution; addition of
funds to reflect congressional priorities and to rectify
shortfalls in the budget request for activities; and
implementation of recommendations reported in the Senate bill
authorizing programs and activities of the Department of
Defense [DOD] for fiscal year 2000.

Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation, Navy
Appropriations, 1999.................................... $8,636,649,000
Budget estimate, 2000................................... 7,984,016,000
Committee recommendation................................ 8,448,816,000
The Committee recommends an appropriation of $8,448,816,000
for the Navy's research, development, test, and evaluation
programs, an increase of $464,800,000 to the budget request.
The budget activities and programs funded under this
appropriation are discussed below.
UESA Signal Processing Support.--The Committee recommends
$5,000,000 in addition to the budget request to upgrade
infrastructure at the test site for the UESA program to improve
signal processing capabilities in support of this and other
Navy test programs.
Vectored Thrust Ducted Propeller (VTDP).-- The Committee
recommends an additional $6,000,000 for the flight
demonstration of the Vectored Thrust Ducted Propeller (VTDP)
Compound Helicopter technology. The Secretary of the Navy's
Report to Congress specified objectives for this program which
include the original Congressionally directed goal of
validating the multi-mission speed, range and life cycle cost
benefits of this technology, and a potential new requirement
for Airborne Mine Counter Measures (AMCM) tow testing. The
Committee understands that the addition of the AMCM tow testing
and NAVAIR flight clearance requirements have increased the
amount of funding required by $12,300,000 and that
approximately $6,000,000 of this is required in fiscal year
2000. The Committee directs the Navy to fund the outyear
portion of this shortfall in the fiscal year 2001 budget.
National Technology Alliance (NTA).--The Committee is aware
that the efforts of the National Technology Alliance (NTA),
(consisting of the National Media Laboratory (NML), the
National Information Display Laboratory (NIDL) and the National
Center for Applied Technology) have saved the Intelligence
Community and others in the defense industry hundreds of
millions of dollars, far in excess of the monies invested in
the NTA program. The laboratories have been successful in
providing solutions applicable to the intelligence community,
DOD, and civil agencies, due largely to the NTA's ability to
work across agency and departmental boundaries on common
technological problems and technical standards. Therefore, the
Committee recommends $10,000,000 to reinforce the cross-agency,
cross-program sharing of advanced commercial and consumer
information technology solutions for the end users in the
Intelligence community and DOD.
Stainless Steel Advanced Double Hull.--The Committee
recommends an additional $5,000,000 for an analytical and
experimental development program on the Stainless Steel
Advanced Double Hull concept.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED ADJUSTMENTS
Committee Recommendations.--The following table lists
program recommendations proposed by the Committee. These
adjustments reflect the following committee actions:
elimination of funds requested for programs which are lower
priority, duplicative or not supported by firm requirements or
out-year development and procurement funds; deletion of excess
funds based on program delays or slow execution; addition of
funds to reflect congressional priorities and to rectify
shortfalls in the budget request for activities; and
implementation of recommendations reported in the Senate bill
authorizing programs and activities of the Department of
Defense [DOD] for fiscal year 2000.

$13,489,909,000 for the Air Force's research, development,
test, and evaluation programs, an increase of $412,080,000 to
the budget request.
The budget activities and programs funded under this
appropriation are discussed below.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED ADJUSTMENTS
Human Effectiveness and Applied Research.--Solid state
oxygen separation using planar electrolytic ceramic membranes
can supply pure oxygen at point of use. In addition to being
easier to deploy and more compact, it is less expensive than
traditional oxygen generation. The Committee recommends an
increase of $6,000,000 to begin development of defense
applications of this technology.
Theater Battle Management (TBM) C\4\I.--The Committee is
aware of an Air Force requirement to continue the initiative to
provide an automated system to support delivery of air support
to ground commanders. The system provides the Joint Force Air
Component Commander (JFACC) the ability to effectively fulfill
requests for Close Air Support (CAS) from both Army and Marine
ground commanders. These capabilities are critical to the
development of the Air Expeditionary Force (AEF) concept to
provide key interfaces between the air and ground components.
Accordingly, the Committee recommends an increase of $5,000,000
to support implementation of these capabilities in the year
2000.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED ADJUSTMENTS
Committee Recommendations.--The following table lists
program recommendations proposed by the Committee. These
adjustments reflect the following committee actions:
elimination of funds requested for programs which are lower
priority, duplicative or not supported by firm requirements or
out-year development and procurement funds; deletion of excess
funds based on program delays or slow execution; addition of
funds to reflect congressional priorities and to rectify
shortfalls in the budget request for activities; and
implementation of recommendations reported in the Senate bill
authorizing programs and activities of the Department of
Defense [DOD] for fiscal year 2000.

Budget estimate, 2000................................... 8,609,289,000
Committee recommendation................................ 9,325,315,000
The Committee recommends an appropriation of $9,325,315,000
for defense-wide research, development, test, and evaluation
programs, an increase of $716,026,000 to the budget request.
The budget activities and programs funded under this
appropriation are discussed below.
committee recommended adjustments
Advanced Electronics Technology.--The Committee supports
development of change-detection technology to interpret
reconnaissance imagery and enhance intelligence community
capabilities. The National Information Display Laboratory
(NIDL) has been in the forefront of developing this technology
and applying it to other military and non-military
applications. The Committee urges that an interagency Board of
Advisors be created to guide the NIDL's research agenda and its
efforts to continue improving change-detection technology and
to develop innovative applications. The Committee has provided
an increase of $3,000,000 for research on change detection
technology.
Advanced Concept Technology Demonstration (ACTD) Littoral
Battlefield.--Over the past several years, the Committee has
supported efforts to demonstrate combined forces in war
fighting exercises. Such initiatives have demonstrated promise
towards achieving advancements in force integration, technology
development, battlespace management, attack assessment and
operational space exploitation.
In order to facilitate the use of advanced technology on
the battlefield, the Committee endorses an extensive advanced
concept technology demonstration program that assesses
expanding the littoral battlefield. The Chairman's Joint Vision
2010 provides for such an approach, using a series of exercises
and experiments to test these concepts and capabilities.
The Committee believes that such an assessment should be
developed in conjunction with an existing joint and operational
exercise where a subordinate unified command responds to
unforseen theater missions. This exercise needs to replicate
combined joint training in areas with varied topographies
including mountain terrain, bodies of water and a full spectrum
of climatic conditions. The deployed task force headquarters
would provide the command and control of the littoral
battlefield.
The Committee directs the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs to
report to the congressional defense committees on the
Department's plan and time line for the joint experimentation
program for fiscal year 2000 and 2001 no later than February
15, 2000.
Computer-Assisted Technology Transfer.--The Computer-
Assisted Technology Transfer (CATT) program provides an
innovative approach to Department of Defense procurement
problems. The CATT partnership provides a possible solution for
the DoD parts challenge by using information technologies to
develop the industrial base and modernize the procurement
process. These projects utilize distributed test beds to
perform research and development, and evaluate, prototype, and
transfer new and emerging information and manufacturing
technologies between the military and civilian sectors. Support
to small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) is provided through
various types of mentoring structures which leverage existing
procurement assistance initiatives.
The Committee supports this program and encourages the
Department to expand this program to other SME manufacturers
creating additional virtual enterprise manufacturing programs,
creating capacity to respond rapidly and cost-effectively to
market forces.
Biosystems Technology.--The Committee supports the
development of environmentally sensitive products and services
essential for the efficient operation of all branches of the
military and the civilian sector and recognizes the unique
factors in tropical and subtropical regions to provide the
technology and resource base for these products and services.
The Committee recommends $6,000,000 to pursue science and
technology biological systems research in conjunction with the
United States Department of Agriculture Sustainable Economic
Activity program.
WMD Related Technology.--The Committee has provided an
increase of $7,000,000 for the Department of Defense (DoD) to
analyze, model, simulate and predict the effects of nuclear
explosions and to develop techniques to ensure systems survive
these effects. The Committee encourages the Department of
Defense to maintain the capability to perform these tasks.
Controlled Flight into Terrain Accidents.--The Committee
supports NIMA's efforts with other federal agencies to improve
flight safety by using national imagery and photogrammetric
techniques to create 3D terrain and obstruction databases for
airfields. The Committee directs NIMA to expend up to
$10,000,000 for this worthwhile effort, coordinating this
activity with the Department of Transportation in order to meet
flight standards and certification requirements.
BALLISTIC MISSILE DEFENSE ORGANIZATION
Ballistic Missile Defense Organization [BMDO].--The
Committee has provided $3,455,993,000 for research,
development, test, and evaluation [RDT&E;] efforts on national
and theater ballistic missile defense systems and technologies.
This appropriation represents an overall increase of
$511,545,000 to the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization
[BMDO] RDT&E; budget request. The Committee also provides
$360,898,000 for procurement of ballistic missile defense
systems and components, an increase of $4,998,000 to the budget
request. Thus, the total appropriation for ballistic missile
defense programs in this bill is $3,816,891,000. The Committee
has made a number of adjustments to individual RDT&E; accounts.

steady decline in the budget for Ballistic Missile Defense
Support Technology. The Committee recognizes the importance of
continued investment in support technology development for the
viability of future missile defense systems. The Committee
encourages the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization to
increase its support technology budget.
Russian American Observational Satellite.--The Committee
understands that the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization,
working with the Office of the Secretary of Defense, plans to
make $16,000,000 of current and/or prior year funds available
for the RAMOS program. The Committee directs that these funds
shall be available only to continue the RAMOS satellite
demonstration program.
Theater High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD).--The Committee
has provided $527,161,000, the amount requested for the THAAD
demonstration and validation (Dem/Val) phase program. The
Committee strongly supports continued development and flight
testing of the THAAD interceptor. The Committee supports the
THAAD program proceeding into the engineering and manufacturing
development (EMD) phase following the successful completion of
the Dem/Val phase exit criteria.
Of the funds appropriated in Public Law 105-277 (Division
B, Title 1, Section 102) for support of ballistic missile
defense systems, the Committee directs that $83,755,000 of the
appropriated funds shall only be available for engineering and
manufacturing development (EMD) efforts on the THAAD program
once the THAAD program has successfully completed all Dem/Val
exit criteria.
Theater High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD).--The Committee
has provided $527,161,000, the amount requested for the THAAD
demonstration and validation (Dem/Val) phase program. The
Committee strongly supports continued development and flight
testing of the THAAD interceptor. The Committee supports the
THAAD program proceeding into the engineering and manufacturing
development (EMD) phase following two successful intercepts and
the successful completion of the Dem/Val phase exit criteria.

Budget estimate, 2000................................... 253,457,000
Committee recommendation................................ 251,957,000
The Committee recommends an appropriation of $251,957,000
for the ``Developmental test and evaluation, defense'' account,
a decrease of $1,500,000 from the budget request.
Committee Recommended Adjustment
Central Test and Evaluation Investment Program (CTEIP).--
The Committee provides $120,241,000, a decrease of $1,500,000
to the budget request. The Committee adds $13,500,000 only to
fund the Army's Roadway Simulator at the Aberdeen Test Center.
The Committee also has deleted $15,000,000 from the Resource
Enhancement Project (REP). The Committee understands the
difficulty in programing and budgeting short-term emergent T&E;
requirements within REP. The Committee is concerned that REP
funds are being used for recurrent and longer-term projects.
The Committee believes that most, if not all, of these projects
should be funded by the individual services.
Operational Test and Evaluation, Defense
Appropriations, 1999.................................... $34,245,000
Budget estimate, 2000................................... 24,434,000
Committee recommendation................................ 34,434,000
The Committee recommends an appropriation of $34,434,000
for the ``Operational test and evaluation, defense'' account an
increase of $10,000,000 to the budget request.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED ADJUSTMENT
Live Fire Testing.--The Committee provides $10,000,000 only
for continuation of the Live Fire Testing and Training
Initiative (LFT&I;). The Committee is encouraged by efforts
within the Department to enhance testing technologies with
modeling and simulation.
TITLE V
REVOLVING AND MANAGEMENT FUNDS
The Committee recommends appropriations totaling
$445,044,000 for title V, revolving and management funds.
The Committee provides funding for the defense working
capital fund and the national defense sealift fund under this
heading.

Budget estimate, 2000................................... 354,700,000
Committee recommendation................................ 354,700,000
This appropriation provides funds for the lease, operation,
and supply of prepositioning ships; operation of the Ready
Reserve Force; acquisition of large medium speed roll-on/roll-
off ships for the Military Sealift Command; and acquisition of
ships for the Ready Reserve Force.
The budget includes $257,000,000 for Ready Reserve Force
and $97,000,000 for acquisition activities in fiscal year 1999.
National Defense Features Program.--The budget included no
funds for National Defense Features, a program to modify
commercial ships to allow them to be used for national defense
purposes. The Committee has long supported this program
believing there might be opportunities in the commercial
marketplace to attain militarily useful vessels for a
relatively small investment. The Committee is aware of a new
proposal which would establish a program for sealift similar to
the Commercial Reserve Air Feet (CRAF). The Committee believes
the Defense Department should examine opportunities to create a
program like CRAF for sealift and directs the Department to
study the issue and report back to the congressional defense
committees no later than March 1, 2000.

OTHER DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE APPROPRIATIONS
Chemical Agents and Munitions Destruction, Army
Appropriations, 1999.................................... $780,150,000
Budget estimate, 2000................................... 1,169,000,000
Committee recommendation................................ 1,029,000,000
The Committee recommends an appropriation of $1,029,000,000
for the ``Chemical agents and munitions destruction, Army''
account for fiscal year 2000, a decrease of $140,000,000 from
the budget estimate.
The Chemical Stockpile Disposal Program provides resources
to develop and test monitoring and disposal technology; equip,
operate, and maintain disposal facilities; provide
transportation of chemical agents and munitions onsite for
disposal; dispose of all chemical agent destruction waste
products; and decontaminate and dismantle all disposal
equipment at the conclusion of toxic operations.
committee recommendations
budget activity 1--research and development
Research and development.--The fiscal year 2000 budget
request includes $334,000,000 for the development of
alternative technologies to incineration for disposal of
chemical agents and the design, acquisition and testing of
prototype equipment for the recovery and treatment of the
nonstockpile chemical materiel. The Committee recommends
$294,000,000, a decrease of $40,000,000 below the budget
request.
budget activity 2--procurement
Procurement.--The Department requested $241,500,000 for the
procurement of process and support equipment used for the
baseline destruction of chemical munitions in the stockpile,
chemical stockpile emergency preparedness project [CSEPP]
equipment, and the nonstockpile chemical material project
[NSCMP] equipment. Also included are costs for initial spares,
freight, software, maintenance and operations manuals relating
to specific equipment, and design changes during construction
and installation.
The Committee recommends providing $191,500,000 for
procurement activities in fiscal year 2000, a reduction of
$50,000,000 from the budget request.
budget activity 3--operations and maintenance
Operation and maintenance.--The fiscal year 2000 budget
request includes $593,500,000 for operations and maintenance
funds for management, technical, and operational, support
required for demilitarization of the chemical stockpile,
emergency response activities, and support to the Nonstockpile
Chemical Material Program. The Committee recommends providing
$543,500,000 a decrease of $50,000,000 below the budget
request.
PROGRAM OVERSIGHT AND MANAGEMENT
The Committee is concerned with the lack of oversight
afforded the Chemical Demilitarization Program within the
executive branch. For example, at the end of fiscal year 1998,
the Department of Defense informed the Committee that funds
were unavailable for reprogramming to allow for the
demonstration of alternative technologies to baseline
incineration. More recently, the Office of Management and
Budget informed the Committee that due to Congressional
reductions to the fiscal year 1999 budget request, OMB was
unable to identify available funds in the Chemical
Demilitarization program to reprogram to fund additional
demonstration projects.
In a review of the program's funding, the Committee
discovered that funds had systematically been obligated without
being expended and in some instances funds were unobligated.
Rather than facing a shortfall in funding, the program had over
$200,000,000 of Operation and Maintenance funds unexpended at
the end of fiscal year 1998. In light of the unobligated and
unexpended balances available to the Department, the program
growth in the budget request is not justified. The Committee
has extended the availability of Operation and Maintenance
funds available in fiscal year 2000 to the Department of
Defense.
Accordingly, the Committee requires the following report:
not later than one hundred and twenty days from enactment of
this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall submit a report to the
defense committees which describes the actions taken to improve
budget execution within the Chemical Demilitarization program.
After identifying these actions, the report shall describe the
unexpended obligations and unobligated balances available
within the Chemical Demilitarization program by activity and
fiscal year.
ACWA.--The Committee continues to support the expeditious
and complete execution of the Assembled Chemical Weapons
Assessment program.

Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences
(USUHS).--The Committee recommends $6,300,000 from within
Defense Health Program funds to meet funding requirements for
USUHS.
Graduate School of Nursing.--The Committee recommends
$2,300,000 for the Graduate School of Nursing to support
advanced nursing programs that contribute to readiness and
cost-effective health care delivery to the uniformed services.
Tri-Service Nursing Research Program.--The Committee
recommends $6,000,000 for the Tri-Service Nursing Research
Program. Within these funds, the Committee encourages the
Department to establish an advanced practice registered nurse
program at DoD and DVA facilities that leverages telehealth and
distance learning capabilities. Further, the Committee
encourages the Department to begin funding the Tri-Service
Nursing Research Program in the Department's annual budget.
Center for Disaster Management and Humanitarian Assistance
(CDMHA).--The Committee recommends $5,000,000 to continue the
Center for Disaster Management and Humanitarian Assistance.
Within these funds, $760,000 is to fund the Casualty Care
Research Center.
PACMEDNET.--The Committee recommends $12,000,000 to
continue the support of prototyping, demonstration, validation
and maturation of technology through the PACMEDNET program.
Outcome Driven Health Care and Information Systems for the
Military.--The Committee is aware that due to the nature of
military service and the frequent moves of service members and
their families, important medical information is often
scattered, incomplete and disjointed. Most health care systems
treat only the illness at hand, and so it is difficult if not
impossible to assess treatment outcomes over a long period of
time. The Committee encourages the Department to make available
up to $6,000,000 to support the development of a model outcome
driven health care capability by integrating an electronic
medical record and outcome analysis capabilities.
Post-Doctoral Education.--The Committee encourages the
Department to increase and consolidate postdoctoral training
for psychologists in military medical centers with an
independent department of psychology.
Childhood Asthma.--The Committee recognizes that asthma
continues to be a potentially devastating disease that leads to
high use of medical resources. The Committee encourages the
Army's continued research in practice guidelines, patient
education and self care models that would facilitate better
quality of life and cost effective outcomes.
Defense Women's Health Research Program.--The Committee
recognizes the importance of this issue and encourages the
Department to support research in this area.
DVA and Tripler Telehealth Programs.--With the co-location
of the Veteran's Administration Hospital at Tripler Army
Medical Center, the Committee encourages the Department and the
Veteran's Health Administration to consolidate and coordinate
telehealth programs to ensure that resources are efficiently
applied.
Dual Use Technology Program.--The Committee encourages the
Army to initiate a dual use technology program in the emerging
fields of voice recognition or wireless technology in support
of medical applications.
Government Computerized Patient Record (G-CPR).--The
Committee recognizes efforts made on the G-CPR and encourages
the Department to select technology savvy environments and
existing collaborative partnerships for pilot implementation.
Graduate School of Nursing.--The Committee encourages USUHS
to provide support to the virtual reality human anatomy
program, and to continue its development as an educational tool
with a corresponding curriculum to enhance educational programs
in the military health system.
Graduate Medical Education (GME).--The Committee is
concerned with the equitable distribution of funds for graduate
medical education for all health professions, including
nursing. The Committee directs the Department to provide a
report by March 1, 2000 on the amount and distribution of funds
spent on graduate medical education.
DOD/DVA Distance Learning Pilot Project.--The Committee
encourages the Department to continue the DoD/DVA distance
learning pilot project to transition clinical nurse specialists
to the role of nurse practitioners. The Committee directs the
Department to provide a report by March 1, 2000, on the
progress of this project.
Behavioral Research.--The Committee is concerned with the
continuing erosion of the Department's support for research on
individual and group performance, leadership, communication,
human-machine interfaces, and decision-making. The Committee
encourages an evaluation on the application of behavioral,
cognitive and social science research in the military, and the
benefits of this research to military performance. The
Committee directs the Department to provide a report by March
1, 2000, detailing this evaluation and including a plan with
recommendations to strengthen this research across the military
services.
Containing the Cost of Health Care.--The Committee is
concerned with the continued growth in military health care
expenditures, and is aware of computer-based simulation
modeling capability that could contain health care costs while
maintaining health care quality and access. This modeling would
design and evaluate effective health system reengineering
alternatives and develop effective alternative health
management practices and procedures as a means of health cost
containment. The Committee directs the Department to conduct a
comprehensive evaluation of such modeling capability and health
care reengineering, specifically addressing the potential for
health care cost savings, and provide a report to the Committee
by March 1, 2000.
Smoking Cessation.--Last year, the Congress granted the
Department the authority to provide effective tobacco cessation
products and counseling for members of the Armed Forces and
their dependents, including retired members, in a manner that
does not impose the majority of the cost on the individual. The
Department has established a limited number of pilot programs
to evaluate the effectiveness of this concept. The Committee
directs the Department to substantially increase the number of
pilot programs so that a greater number of individuals could
benefit from this program, with the goal of full access by
January, 2001. The Committee directs the Department to submit a
report by March 1, 2000 on the status of this pilot program,
and a plan to implement a similar program throughout the
Department.
Anthrax Vaccine Adverse Reaction Reporting.--The Committee
is concerned about reports that some service members who
receive the anthrax vaccine through the Department's Anthrax
Vaccination Immunization Program (AVIP) have not had access to
methods of reporting, or may have been discouraged from
reporting, adverse reactions associated with the vaccination.
The Centers for Disease Control's Vaccine Adverse Events
Reporting System (VAERS) should be available to all service
members so that there will be an accurate and complete report
of adverse reactions to the anthrax vaccine. The Committee
directs the Department to take all necessary steps to ensure
that service members are fully informed of the VAERS system,
and to continue efforts to design longitudinal follow-up
studies of the anthrax vaccine. The Committee directs the
Department to report by March 1, 2000 on the actions taken to
implement this direction.

National Guard activities.--The Committee recognizes the
valuable contribution the National Guard makes to the
counterdrug effort and provides an additional $20,000,000. This
augment reflects a continuing requirement to adequately fund
the National Guard's contribution and the Committee directs the
Department to include this level of funding at a minimum,
commencing with the fiscal year 2001 budget submission.
Of these additional funds, the Committee urges the New
Jersey National Guard to participate in Crack House Demolition
and related missions in the New Jersey High Intensity Drug
Trafficking Area (HIDTA).
Drug Free Century Act.--In order to support the initiative
outlined in S. 5, the Drug Free Century Act, to significantly
reduce the flow of cocaine and heroin into the United States,
the Committee has provided an additional $50,000,000 for
counterdrug intelligence and infrastructure support.
Additionally, $1,000,000 has been included to fund a study
assessing the utility of an additional Relocatable Over The
Horizon Radar (ROTHR) site to enhance transit and source zone
monitoring. The Department is to report to the defense
committees, by February 15, 2000 addressing site surveys of
potential locations, resource requirements and a detailed time
line if this is deemed to be an effective additional deterrence
tool.
Marijuana eradication.--The Committee has provided an
additional $6,000,000 for the conduct of marijuana eradication.
These funds are to be used to address marijuana eradication
shortfalls in the two States having the highest rate of outdoor
cannabis cultivation as set forth in a 1996 report prepared by
the DEA's Strategic Detection Unit of the domestic intelligence
section.
Gulf States counterdrug initiative.--The Committee has
provided an additional $10,000,000 to support the Gulf States
counterdrug initiative and the Regional Counterdrug Training
Academy [RCTA]. These funds will provide for sustainment and
support costs, improvements to the existing processing and
analysis centers in Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, and
Mississippi, modernization and hardware/software upgrades, and
a systems application program.
Civil Air Patrol.--Funds made available to the Civil Air
Patrol [CAP] in the fiscal year 2000 appropriation for Defense
Department drug interdiction activities may be used for CAP's
demand reduction program involving youth programs as well as
operational and training drug reconnaissance missions for
Federal, State, and local government agencies, and for any
directly associated administrative costs. The Air Force should
waive reimbursement from Federal, State, and local government
agencies for use of these funds.
Illegal Narcotic Crop Cultivation.--The Committee is aware
that the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago, IL has
well-established expertise in both evaluating different land-
use practices and educating local governments and non-
governmental organizations about sustainable alternatives to
growing narcotic crops. Subsequently, the Committee encourages
the Department to support a Field Museum-sponsored research and
inventory expedition in South America to evaluate the viability
of alternative crops to illegal narcotic crop cultivation.

Sec. 8100. Pacific Disaster Center.--The Committee
recommends a new provision which restates the mission of the
Pacific Disaster Center and provides authority to the Secretary
of Defense to establish public-private partnerships among the
Center, government, and non-government activities to allow PDC
to better utilize its products, information, facilities and
knowledge of organizational development of a disaster
information center and other resources. PDC has created
products and services which are of significant value to outside
entities, but, without legislation, the Center cannot sell
them. The Committee is encouraged by the activities of PDC and
wants to limit the amount of federal funding that is required
to develop, operate and maintain the center in the future by
affording it the opportunity to generate external revenue. The
Committee expects the PDC to pursue a long-term structure that
provides for its self-sustainment through a government-owned
contractor operated, government corporation, not-for-profit,
public-private partnership, or commercial entity.
To carry out this partnership, the Center would be allowed
to seek and receive funding from different entities to include
foreign governments. PDC may enter into agreements with
institutions of higher education; Federal, State or local
government agencies; not-for-profit entities or other
cooperative funded activities; and private or corporate
entities to provide for joint operation and development of PDC.
The Center may also engage in activities and partnerships for
profit, as appropriate and within existing law, in pursuing
economic opportunities domestically and internationally
providing emergency management products and services including
operational analysis, systems engineering, development
engineering, training, vulnerability assessment and consequence
modeling, disaster analysis, policy support, management
consultation, infrastructure planning and protection, military
and civil emergency management, humanitarian assistance, and
disaster relieve information support planning and execution and
information brokering.
Sec. 8101. Supplemental Funding for Military Personnel.--
Inserts a new provision which reduces Title I appropriations to
reflect amounts appropriated in H.R. 1141, as enacted.
Sec. 8102. Environmental Contracting.--Inserts a new
provision which directs limits the funding that can be
obligated to indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity
environmental contracts.
Sec. 8103. Elmendorf Air Force Base.--Inserts a new
provision which allows for the realignment of railroad track.
Sec. 8104. Combating Terrorism.--Inserts a new provision
establishing a minimum funding level for counter-terrorism
activities.
Sec. 8105. Alcoholic beverages.--Inserts a provision
included in previous years which directs the local procurement
of alcoholic beverages sold on military installations in States
which are not contiguous.
Sec. 8106. Aircraft Leasing.--Inserts a provision to
provide the Air Force the necessary authority to negotiate
leases for support aircraft.
Sec. 8107. Spectrum Auctions.--The Committee recommends a
provision that permits the acceleration of certain spectrum
auctions, as proposed by the President.
Sec. 8108. Operation and maintenance and procurement
activities.--The Committee includes a provision that permits
the Department to carry over funds provided in Public Law 105-
277 and Public Law 106-31 for operation and maintenance and
procurement activities during fiscal year 2000.
COMPLIANCE WITH PARAGRAPH 7, RULE XVI, OF THE STANDING RULES OF THE
SENATE
Paragraph 7 of rule XVI requires that Committee reports on
general appropriations bills identify each Committee amendment
to the House bill ``which proposes an item of appropriation
which is not made to carry out the provisions of an existing
law, a treaty stipulation, or an act or resolution previously
passed by the Senate during that session.''
Due to the early Committee action on the fiscal year 1999
Defense appropriations bill, an original Senate bill was
reported by the Appropriations Committee to the Senate.
At the point when the Committee reports this measure, the
Congress has not completed action on S. 2057, the Fiscal Year
1999 Defense Authorization Act. As a consequence, the Committee
has acted in good faith in its attempt to comply fully with
requirements stipulated under paragraph 7, rule XVI.
The Committee anticipates that Congress will authorize the
amounts appropriated in this act.
COMPLIANCE WITH PARAGRAPH 7(C), RULE XXVI OF THE STANDING RULES OF THE
SENATE
Pursuant to paragraph 7(c) of rule XXVI, the Committee
ordered reported en bloc, an original fiscal year 2000
Department of Defense Appropriations bill (S. 1122), the fiscal
year 2000 section 302(b) allocation, and H.R. 1664, by recorded
vote of 24-3, a quorum being present.

making the amendment and of the statute or part thereof
proposed to be amended, showing by stricken-through type and
italics, parallel columns, or other appropriate typographical
devices the omissions and insertions which would be made by the
bill or joint resolution if enacted in the form recommended by

provisions.
