CHAPTER 2
Subcommittee on Defense
DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
Overview
The Department of Defense has requested supplemental
appropriations for fiscal year 2001 that total $5,457,700,000.
The Committee recommends net appropriations of $5,451,700,000,
a reduction of $6,000,000 to the request. The Committee's
recommendation is the result of approving fiscal year 2001
budget authority of $6,243,700,000, to be offset by rescissions
of $792,000,000.
Based on a thorough review, the Committee recommends minor
adjustments to the request. The Committee has determined that,
in several cases, funds requested could be provided in fiscal
year 2002 without harm to programs. This enabled the Committee
to reallocate funds to operations and support programs to help
minimize shortfalls. For example, the Committee recommends
increases for building maintenance, spare parts purchases, and
health care activities for requirements identified by the
military services. Details about these and all other Committee
recommendations are provided in the following report.
MILITARY PERSONNEL
Overview
The Department requests fiscal year 2001 supplemental
appropriations of $515,000,000 for the military personnel
accounts.
The request includes $116,000,000 to fund several new
military personnel costs approved in the Floyd D. Spence
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2001 (Public
Law 106-398). These newly authorized military pays and
allowances include: an increase in basic pay rates for
paygrades E-5, E-6, and E-7 effective July 1, 2001 (NDAA
Section 602); equitable Basic Allowance for Housing for junior
enlisted members (NDAA Section 607); special pays for Reserve
medical and dental officers (NDAA Section 625); and equitable
Dislocation Allowance for junior enlisted members (NDAA Section
644).
In addition, the request includes $210,000,000 to fund the
Department's decision to improve the survey methodology used to
determine housing allowances. This improved methodology
resulted in increases to Basic Allowance for Housing rates, and
should ensure the quality and safety of off-base housing for
military members and their families.
Finally, the request includes $189,000,000 to fund the
following: increased subsistence costs for the Army; increased
inactive duty training costs for the Army Reserve; increased
basic pay rates as a result of pay table reform for the Navy;
enhanced enlistment and reenlistment bonuses for the Air Force;
and increased costs of Permanent Change of Station moves
conducted under the Full Service Moving pilot project for all
services.
The Committee recommends supplemental appropriations in the
military personnel accounts totaling $515,000,000, an amount
equal to the Department's request. Details of the Department's
request, and the Committee recommendation, are included in the
following table:

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
OVERVIEW
The administration request seeks additional fiscal year
2001 funding of $2,841,700,000 for operation and maintenance
activities. In some instances funds are sought to meet the
unexpected cost of natural gas and utilities at Department of
Defense bases and installations, the deferred maintenance of
real property, ships and aircraft. Funds are also sought to
meet the costs of higher than anticipated consumption of spare
parts. In other cases the armed services failed to accurately
price the cost of operating aircraft, overhead at maintenance
depots, or diverted funds appropriated for base operations to
other purposes.
In addition to requesting supplemental funding for routine
operation and maintenance activities, the Department of Defense
seeks $36,000,000 to reimburse the armed services for the costs
of a Presidential directive to draw down equipment and
supplies, and conduct training in support of the United Nations
Mission in Sierra Leone. The Committee recommendation does not
provide funding for these purposes.
Spare parts funding.--The Committee remains concerned with
the Department's inability to articulate: the inventory
requirements for spare parts; the funding levels needed to
support the training and deployment requirements of the armed
services; and any meaningful history of the execution of funds
appropriated for spare parts. The Committee recommendation
provides funding for the Navy and Air Force flying hour
program, and spare parts for the Army. The Secretary of Defense
shall provide the Committee with a complete accounting of any
supplemental funds appropriated for spare parts. This report
shall be provided to the Committee no later than October 31,
2001 and shall detail the funds expended for spare parts,
allocation of funds by major command and weapons system, cost
and provider for end items or spares, and any change to Global
Status of Resources and Training System ratings based on this
funding.

Operation and Maintenance, Army
2001 appropriation to date.............................. $19,144,431,000
2001 supplemental estimate.............................. 655,800,000
Committee recommendation................................ 784,500,000
The Committee recommends appropriations of $784,500,000 for
operation and maintenance, Army. Supplemental funding of
$172,800,000 is recommended to fund the increased cost of base
level utilities, $300,000 for the Department of Defense's
energy demand reduction program in California, and $214,000,000
to reduce the current backlog of repair for real property
maintenance.
Although the Committee provided adequate resources to fund
the cost of base operations support for fiscal year 2001, the
service diverted these funds to other programs. The Committee
recommends restoring $300,000,000 for base operations support
to enable the Army to maintain current base level activities
through the fiscal year. The Committee recommends an additional
$2,400,000 for the costs of Army activities in East Timor, and
$30,000,000 for spare parts.
The Committee directs that supplemental real property
maintenance funds recommended in the bill shall provide the
following program:

2001 supplemental estimate.............................. 3,000,000
Committee recommendation................................ 3,000,000

Shipbuilding and Conversion, Navy
2001 appropriation to date.............................. $11,614,633,000
2001 supplemental estimate.............................. 222,000,000
Committee recommendation................................ 297,000,000
The Committee recommends $297,000,000 for the shipbuilding
and conversion, Navy appropriation for increased costs on ships
currently under construction. This amount is $75,000,000 above
the request. This addition will cover anticipated costs of on-
going construction on the LPD-17 through the end of the year.
Without these funds the shipbuilder would be required to
initiate lay-offs beginning on August 1 of this year. The funds
for this purpose are reallocated from existing LPD-17 class
ship funding in the fiscal year 2001 bill. This offset is
addressed in section 1204.
Aircraft Procurement, Air Force
2001 appropriation to date.............................. $7,583,345,000
2001 supplemental estimate.............................. 84,000,000
Committee recommendation................................ 78,000,000
The Department has requested a supplemental appropriation
of $84,000,000 for Aircraft Procurement, Air Force. The
Committee recommends a supplemental appropriation of
$78,000,000, a decrease of $6,000,000 to the request.
C-17 Aircraft.--The Department has requested and the
Committee recommends approval of a supplemental appropriation
of $49,000,000 to finance increased C-17 overhead costs.
B-52 Aircraft.--The Department has proposed to cancel
$25,100,000 appropriated in fiscal year 2001 to make upgrades
to 18 attrition reserve B-52 aircraft. The Committee denies
this request and directs the Department to immediately begin
the upgrades to the aircraft.
Classified Programs.--The Committee recommends $29,000,000
for RC-135 re-engining, as requested in the General Defense
Intelligence Program, to fund the engine kit and associated
engineering costs for the final COBRA BALL aircraft requiring
this upgrade. The Committee recognizes that this will serve to
match up the re-engining with the scheduled depot maintenance
period for this aircraft. This is $6,000,000 less than the
Department's request and this adjustment is addressed in the
Classified Annex of this Report.
Missile Procurement, Air Force
2001 appropriation to date.............................. $2,863,778,000
2001 supplemental estimate..............................................
Committee recommendation................................ 15,500,000
The Administration has requested a supplemental
appropriation of $15,500,000 for GPS NUDET in the National
Reconnaissance Program. The Committee recommendation includes
$15,500,000 for GPS NUDET in Missile Procurement, Air Force.
The GPS NUDET sensor program has been marked by fragmented
advocacy and lack of a unified vision, which has plagued the
development of v-sensor technology for over 3 years. The
Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to transfer funding
for GPS NUDET in fiscal year 2001 and the outyears to the Air
Force. The Committee expects the Air Force, as the executive
agent for space, to protect the interests of the diverse
stakeholders who rely on enabling space technology to achieve
mission success.
Procurement of Ammunition, Air Force
2001 appropriation to date.............................. $647,808,000
2001 supplemental estimate.............................. 73,000,000
Committee recommendation................................ 31,200,000
The Committee recommends a total increase of $31,200,000 in
new budget authority for the procurement of training munitions,
a reduction of $41,800,000 from the Department's supplemental
appropriations request. The Committee is concerned about the
Air Force's ammunition budgeting methodologies, as supplemental
and reprogramming requests are, for some munitions, tenfold
that of the annual request found in the President's Budget. The
Committee strongly encourages the Air Force to more accurately
plan and budget for ammunition needs.
Other Procurement, Air Force
2001 appropriation to date.............................. $7,763,747,000
2001 supplemental estimate.............................. 162,900,000
Committee recommendation................................ 165,650,000
The Committee recommends approval of a supplemental
appropriation of $165,650,000 for the ``Other Procurement, Air
Force'' account.
California Electrical Demand Reduction.--The Department has
requested and the Committee recommends approval of a
supplemental appropriation of $1,200,000 for electrical demand
reduction efforts in California.
Classified Programs.--The Department requested a
supplemental appropriation of $161,700,000 for classified
programs in this account. The Committee recommends approval of
$164,450,000. This is $2,750,000 more than the Department's
request and is addressed in the Classified Annex of this
Report.
Procurement, Defense-wide
2001 appropriation to date.............................. $2,346,258,000
2001 supplemental estimate.............................. 5,800,000
Committee recommendation................................ 5,800,000
The Department has requested and the Committee recommends
approval of a supplemental appropriation of $5,800,000 for the
``Procurement, Defense-wide'' account. A detailed explanation
is provided in the Classified Annex of this Report.
RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT, TEST AND EVALUATION
Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Navy
2001 appropriation to date.............................. $9,494,374,000
2001 supplemental estimate.............................. 108,000,000
Committee recommendation................................ 123,000,000
The Department has requested a supplemental appropriation
of $108,000,000 for ``Research, Development, Test and
Evaluation, Navy''. The Committee recommends a supplemental
appropriation of $123,000,000. This is an increase of
$15,000,000 to the request.
Joint Experimentation.--The Department requested a
supplemental appropriation of $15,000,000 for Joint
Experimentation in Research, Development, Test and Evaluation,
Defense-Wide. The Committee recommends approval of the request
and transfers the funding to Navy.
V-22.--The Department requested and the Committee
recommends a supplemental appropriation of $80,000,000 for the
V-22 RDT&E; program only for correction of deficiencies, flight
test and flight test support. To achieve the minimum aircraft
production levels judged by the Department to be necessary, the
Committee recommends adjusting the proposed reduction to the
Marine Corps V-22 procurement program, allowing for purchase of
11 aircraft. A reduction of $150,000,000 to this program is
approved instead of the $235,000,000 reduction proposed by the
Department. For the CV-22 program, the Committee believes that
deferring all fiscal year 2001 available procurement funding
until the Department makes significant progress to correct
deficiencies in the aircraft is prudent. As such, a total cut
of $363,000,000 to the enacted fiscal year 2001 CV-22
procurement level is recommended, compared to a reduction of
$240,000,000 proposed by DOD. A general provision, Sec. 1204,
is included which incorporates these adjustments.
Classified Programs.--The Committee recommends as requested
$28,000,000 for classified programs in this account. These
programs are addressed in the Classified Annex of this Report.
Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Air Force
2001 appropriation to date.............................. $14,138,244,000
2001 supplemental estimate.............................. 247,500,000
Committee recommendation................................ 227,500,000
The Department has requested a supplemental appropriation
of $247,500,000 for ``Research, Development, Test and
Evaluation, Air Force''. The Committee recommends a
supplemental appropriation of $227,500,000. This is a decrease
of $20,000,000 to the request.
Airborne Laser.--The Department has requested and the
Committee recommends approval of a supplemental appropriation
of $153,000,000 for the Airborne Laser.
Launch Vehicle Demonstration.--The Department has requested
and the Committee recommends approval of a supplemental
appropriation of $48,000,000 for a Heavy Lift Demonstration
Launch for the Evolved Expandable Launch vehicle (EELV)
program.
Global Hawk.--The Committee recommends approval of the
Department's request for a supplemental appropriation of
$25,000,000 to fund some of the components needed to accelerate
Global Hawk's development into a U-2 parity platform. These
improvements will include power upgrades to provide sufficient
payload power to support multiple intelligence missions and
engine upgrades to increase engine performance and payload
capability.
Small Diameter Bomb.--The Department has requested a
supplemental appropriation of $20,000,000 for a new program to
develop a Small Diameter Bomb (SDB). The Committee does not
recommend approval of this request. The Committee notes that
$12,000,000 appropriated for this purpose in fiscal year 2001
is on withhold in the Office of the Secretary of Defense. The
Committee is concerned that program outlined by the Air Force
is unexecutable and notes that a contract award before the end
of the fiscal year is unlikely. The Committee remains
supportive of this initiative and encourages the Department to
begin the program with the previously appropriated funds. The
Committee will consider additional funding for the program
during consideration of the fiscal year 2002 budget.
Classified Programs.--The Committee recommends as requested
$1,500,000 for classified programs in this account. These
programs are addressed in the Classified Annex of this Report.

The Committee recommends approval of a supplemental
appropriation of $35,000,000 for the ``Research, Development,
Test and Evaluation, Defense-wide'' account.
Joint Experimentation.--The Department has requested a
supplemental appropriation for Joint Experimentation. The
Committee recommends approval of the request in the Research,
Development, Test and Evaluation, Navy appropriation.
Classified Programs.--The Department requested a
supplemental appropriation of $70,000,000 for classified
programs in this account. Of this amount, the Committee
recommends approval of $31,000,000. This is $39,000,000 less
than the Department's request and is addressed in the
Classified Annex of this Report.
PIPES.--The Committee recommends $4,000,000 for the Pacific
Command Imagery Processing Exploitation Segment and an
offsetting rescission, in section 1204, from the same program
to make funding available for the current fiscal year.

OTHER DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE PROGRAMS
Defense Health Program
2001 appropriation to date.............................. $12,117,779,000
2001 supplemental estimate.............................. 1,453,400,000
Committee recommendation................................ 1,522,200,000
The Department requests fiscal year 2001 supplemental
appropriations of $1,453,400,000 for the Defense Health
Program. The Committee recommends a supplemental appropriation
of $1,522,200,000, which is $68,800,000 more than the
supplemental request.
OVERVIEW
The Committee continues to be very concerned with the
adequacy of funding provided to the Defense Health Program
(DHP). It is the Committee's view that chronic under funding of
the DHP has adversely impacted the Military Health System's
ability to provide a complete, modern, and robust health
benefit for military members, their families, and military
retirees.
The Committee's recommendation represents a significant
increase of almost 13 percent to the DHP appropriation for
fiscal year 2001, which continues a distressing trend. Last
year, the Congress appropriated $1,311,500,000 in emergency
supplemental funding to cover DHP shortfalls.
The Committee has identified numerous maladies in the DHP,
which were explored in depth during the Committee's hearing on
DOD medical programs earlier this year.
DHP budgets routinely have artificially low assumptions for
medical inflation, or have assumed unrealistic cost saving
wedges which then never materialize. These suppressed budget
requests inevitably result in large execution year shortfalls,
which are then partially covered by disrupting planned
investments, required maintenance, and adequate staffing.
The system labors under managed care support contracts that
are poorly structured, unnecessarily complex, and inaccurately
priced. These contracts have put the Department's managed care
support contractors at financial risk, and settlement of
unanticipated claims due under the contracts has been
tremendously costly.
Faced with requirements that outstrip resources, the
Department has adopted the habit of always making the direct
care system (or military Medical Treatment Facilities) absorb
the shortfalls. This migration of funds away from military
hospitals and clinics cripples the very portion of the system
that, with the proper level of resources and sound investment,
could be the most cost-effective.
The Committee expects to receive a fiscal year 2002 DHP
budget request that addresses these issues, adequately states
the requirements of the Military Health System, and then fully
funds those requirements. A fully funded DHP budget would make
large, execution year supplemental appropriations unnecessary.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Committee recommends funding the Department's request,
and an additional $68,800,000 for the direct care system and
military Medical Treatment Facilities. This increase is to
accommodate additional immediate shortfalls identified to the
Committee by the service Surgeons General.
Also, and consistent with the Department's request, the
Committee recommends an appropriation of $100,000,000 to fund
increased pharmacy costs experienced in military Medical
Treatment Facilities as a result of the recently authorized
pharmacy benefit for Medicare eligible military retirees.
The Committee recommendation for the Defense Health Program
is shown in the following table:

OUTCOMES MANAGEMENT DEMONSTRATION
In the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2001
(Public Law 106-259), the Congress provided $10,000,000 for an
outcomes management demonstration at the Walter Reed Army
Medical Center (WRAMC).
This project will demonstrate new techniques for delivering
medical care that emphasize prevention and other health
promotion methods for treating conditions such as diabetes,
heart disease, chronic viral hepatitis, stroke, and breast
cancer. By focusing on total patient care, rather than the
traditional treatment of illness, this demonstration is
intended to save lives, save resources, and improve health care
for our military members, their families, and military
retirees.
From within the supplemental appropriation provided for the
Defense Health Program, the Committee directs that $16,000,000
be made available to continue the outcomes management
demonstration at WRAMC.

Weapons Activities
2001 appropriation to date.............................. $5,006,153,000
2001 supplemental estimate.............................. 140,000,000
Committee recommendation................................ 140,000,000
The Committee recommends an additional appropriation of
$140,000,000, the amount of the Administration's request, for
Weapons Activities of the National Nuclear Security
Administration (NNSA) within the Department of Energy.
While the Committee has chosen to provide these additional
appropriations, it remains gravely concerned about the
Department's ability to produce and certify a pit.
Further, the Committee is surprised that the Administration
has chosen not to request any supplemental funding for Weapon's
Complex infrastructure improvements. In written and oral
testimony to the Committee this year, the Department repeatedly
highlighed the safety, morale, and productivity problems that
crumbling infrastructure is causing the NNSA. However, the
Administration's request for supplemental appropriations is
silent on this matter. The Committee hopes and expects that the
Administration will work with Congress to remedy this
discrepancy as the fiscal year 2002 funding bill is developed.
Directed Stockpile Work
The Committee recommendation includes $54,000,000 for
directed stockpile work. The recommendation provides
$31,100,000 for stockpile research and development; $18,900,000

Relocation and Operations at the Nevada Test Site; and 01-D-
108, the Microsystems and Engineering Science Applications
(MESA) Complex Facility at Sandia National Laboratories in New
Mexico. Consistent with this direction, available funding in
project 01-D-103, Preliminary Project Design and Engineering,
is reduced by $13,289,000; project 01-D-107, Atlas Relocation
and Operations is increased by $7,689,000, of which an
additional $3,900,000 is provided for Atlas construction in

Committee recommendation................................ 35,000,000
The Committee recommends an additional $35,000,000, as
requested by the Administration, for salaries and expenses of
the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service. These funds are
to be used for inspections, animal health assessments,
planning, and other assistance to guard against the threat of
foreign animal disease.
Farm Service Agency
AGRICULTURAL CONSERVATION PROGRAM
(RESCISSION)
The Committee recommendation includes a rescission of
$45,000,000 of unobligated funds remaining in the Agricultural
Conservation Program. This program was terminated subsequent to
enactment of the Federal Agriculture Improvement and Reform Act
of 1996.
GENERAL PROVISIONS--THIS CHAPTER
Sec. 2101. The Committee recommends language that makes a
technical correction to the Agriculture, Rural Development,
Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies
Appropriations Act, 2001 (Public Law 106-387) regarding plant
quarantine facilities.
Sec. 2102. The Committee recommends language that makes a
technical correction to the Agriculture, Rural Development,
Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies
Appropriations Act, 2001 (Public Law 106-387) regarding the
delivery of rural development programs.
The Committee does not include a provision, as requested by
the Administration, to provide $20,000,000 to producers in the
Klamath Basin. While the Committee is concerned that producers
in the Klamath Basin are experiencing losses due to adverse
weather conditions, it is necessary to provide equitable
treatment to all farmers and ranchers suffering similar losses.
The Committee requests the Department to prepare an analysis of
actual and projected crop and livestock losses in 2001 and
provide a report to the House and Senate Committees on
Appropriations at the earliest time practicable.
MANDATORY LIVESTOCK PRICE REPORTING
The Committee is aware of proposed changes to the manner in
which proprietary information is protected under implementation
of mandatory livestock price reporting. To ensure compliance
with congressional intent, the Committee directs the Secretary
to take action as early as possible to provide producers and
other interested parties with information useful for prudent
and fact-based market decisions.

GENERAL PROVISIONS--THIS CHAPTER
Sec. 2201. The Committee includes bill language to make a
technical correction to Public Law 106-256 to add two positions
to the Oceans Commission.
Sec. 2202. The Committee includes bill language to make a
technical correction to Public Law 106-554.
Sec. 2203. The Committee includes bill language making
minor changes to the American Fisheries Act (AFA) to preserve
the commercial fishing industry's access to capital financing
after October 1, 2001. The AFA created new ownership
requirements for United States fishing vessels, including a
requirement that financial institutions making loans to fishing
vessels must be 51 percent U.S. owned and controlled or use a
mortgage trustee which meets the same standard. However, the
AFA and its implementing regulations make it too difficult for
lenders to prove their citizenship. Large lenders (as lenders
and as mortgage trustees) cannot show that their shareholders
have U.S. addresses--shares are traded thousands of times a
day, and it is far too costly to trace shareholder addresses
through mutual funds. These restrictions also make it
impossible for lenders to ``syndicate,'' or re-sell, fishing
industry loans, thereby raising the cost of financing.
Subsection (a) moves the provisions defining a mortgage
trustee from chapter 121 of title 46, which provides for vessel
documentation, to chapter 313, which provides for vessel
mortgages.
Subsection (b) expands the class of lenders eligible to
hold preferred mortgages on fishing vessels to accurately
reflect the current scope of lenders.
Subsection (c) provides that mortgage trustees must meet
the same citizenship requirements as lenders, and allows the
Secretary to require additional proof that there is no
impermissible non-citizen control of fishing vessels.
Subsection (d) delays the effective date of the changes
made in this section to allow for new regulations.
CHAPTER 3
Subcommittee on the District of Columbia
The Committee considered the request from the Government of
the District of Columbia to authorize the use of certified
additional local revenues totaling $106,677,000. The Committee
authorizes the District of Columbia to use $104,526,000 of the
$109,547,000 in additional local revenues to support budget
authority needed to address budget pressures in fiscal year
2001. The additional $2,151,000 for the Water and Sewer
Authority (WASA), an enterprise fund, is supported by its own
revenue. The additional local revenues and additional WASA
revenues were certified by the Financial Authority on February
14, 2001.

GENERAL PROVISION--THIS CHAPTER
Sec. 2301. Report by the Mayor. The Mayor of the District
of Columbia shall provide the House and Senate Committees on
Appropriations, the Senate Committee on Governmental Affairs
and the House Committee on Government Reform with
recommendations relating to the transition of responsibilities
under Public Law 104-8, the District of Columbia Financial
Responsibility and Management Act of 1995, at the earliest time
practicable.

Flood Control and Coastal Emergencies
2001 appropriation to date..............................................
2001 supplemental estimate.............................. $50,000,000
Committee recommendation................................ 50,000,000
The Committee recommends an additional appropriation of
$50,000,000, the amount of the Administration's request, for
the Flood Control and Coastal Emergencies program. The
Committee shares the Administration's concern both that the
Fund's balance is inadequate to meet the unanticipated and
emergency needs that may occur during the remainder of fiscal
year 2001, and that the practice of reprogramming into the Fund
is not the most appropriate means to replenish the fund itself.
Though the Committee has provided these supplemental funds, it
strongly encourages the Corps to work with the Administration
to address the future funding needs of this necessary activity.
DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Energy Programs
Non-Defense Environmental Management
2001 appropriation to date.............................. $277,200,000
2001 supplemental estimate.............................. 11,400,000
Committee recommendation................................ 11,400,000
The Committee recommends an additional appropriation of
$11,400,000, the amount of the Administration's request, for
Non-Defense Environmental Management.
The amount recommended by the Committee includes $1,400,000
for a study to determine remediation options for clean-up of
the former Atlas uranium mill tailings site near Moab, Utah;
and $10,000,000 for clean-up activities at the Brookhaven
National Laboratory in New York.
Uranium facilities maintenance and remediation

2001 appropriation to date.............................. $392,502,000
2001 supplemental estimate.............................. 18,000,000
Committee recommendation................................ 18,000,000
The Committee recommends an additional appropriation of
$18,000,000 for Uranium Facilities Maintenance and Remediation.
This recommendation, the amount of the Administration's
request, is to be derived from the Uranium Enrichment
Decontamination and Decommissioning Fund.
The amount recommended by the Committee is provided to
accelerate clean-up activities at the gaseous diffusion plant
in Paducah, Kentucky.
GENERAL PROVISION--THIS CHAPTER
Sec. 2401. The Committee has included a provision which
allows the Bureau of Reclamation to accept prepayment of
certain obligations.

2001 supplemental estimate..............................................
Committee recommendation:
Supplemental........................................ 100,000,000
Rescission.......................................... -10,000,000
The Committee recommends an additional $100,000,000,
representing an initial United States contribution to a global
trust fund to combat HIV/AIDS, malaria, and tuberculosis. The
Committee is concerned that HIV/AIDS has already claimed over
22,000,000 lives, that there are over 5,000,000 new HIV
infections annually, and that a multilateral fund is widely
recognized as urgently needed to leverage substantially greater
public and private resources to mount an effective response to
this growing international crisis. The Committee intends that
in the event that a global trust fund is not established or is
unable to utilize these funds effectively within a reasonable
period of time, these funds shall be used to support bilateral
HIV/AIDS, malaria, and tuberculosis programs administered by
the Agency for International Development. The Committee also
recommends a rescission of $10,000,000 from unobligated
balances of the fiscal year 2001 appropriation for the Child
Survival and Disease Programs Fund. These funds were
appropriated in fiscal year 2001 for a United States
contribution to an international HIV/AIDS fund.
ECONOMIC SUPPORT FUND
2001 appropriations.................................... $2,289,951,000
2001 supplemental estimate.............................. -20,000,000
Committee recommendation................................................
The Committee recommendation does not include the
cancellation of $20,000,000 in fiscal year 2000 Economic
Support Funds (ESF) proposed by the President. The Committee
notes that there are many foreign assistance programs in Latin
America, Asia and elsewhere which would be enhanced by the use
of these funds. The Committee further notes that the ESF
account is already $55,549,000 below the fiscal year 2000
enacted level.
GENERAL PROVISION--THIS CHAPTER
Sec. 2501. The Committee has repealed the last proviso of
section 526 of the Fiscal Year 2000 Foreign Operations, Export
Financing, and Related Programs Appropriations Act, as amended,
which earmarked $1,000,000 in Economic Support Fund assistance
for the Jamestown Foundation. These funds shall be provided
through the National Endowment for Democracy for rule of law
and democracy activities consistent with the authority of
section 526 of Public Law 106-429.
CHAPTER 6
Subcommittee on the Interior and Related Agencies
DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
National Park Service
Operation of the National Park System
(Including Rescissions)
Language is included in the bill to permit completion of a
wilderness study at Apostle Islands National Lakeshore, WI by
the National Park Service. An amount of $200,000 was provided
in fiscal year 2001 to complete this study. Because the study
will not be completed until fiscal year 2003, the Committee
recommends extending the availability of these funds.
Language is included in the bill to extend the availability
of funds provided in fiscal year 2001 for maintenance,
protection and preservation of land in the Minuteman Missile
National Historic Site, SD. The projects for which $5,000,000
was made available to the National Park Service, through the
Air Force operations and maintenance account, cannot be
completed this fiscal year.
Bureau of Indian Affairs
Operation of Indian Programs
(Including Transfers of Funds)
2001 appropriation to date.............................. $1,738,579,000
2001 supplemental estimate.............................. 50,000,000
Committee recommendation................................ 50,000,000
The Committee recommends $50,000,000 for Operation of
Indian Programs, as requested by the Administration, to allow
for the repayment by the Bureau of Indian Affairs of funds
previously borrowed from the land acquisition accounts of the
Bureau of Land Management, the United States Fish and Wildlife
Service, and the National Park Service.
In May 2001, the Secretary of the Interior used transfer
authority provided in Section 102 of the Fiscal Year 2001
Interior and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, Public Law
106-291, to provide a total of $41,000,000 to prevent the
shutdown of the electric power operations of the San Carlos
Irrigation Project (SCIP) in Arizona. The transfers are
expected to cover the cost of power purchases for May through
the end of August. The additional funds above the amount
required for reimbursement are to ensure that there are
sufficient funds to cover the cost of summer power
requirements. The need for this funding is due to: (1) SCIP's
regional linkage to the California power market and low western
reservoirs, which contribute to high electricity prices; (2)
the lack of alternative power providers in SCIP's service area,
which leaves certain residents, such as diabetics on dialysis,
vulnerable to illness or death should power be cut off; and (3)
the inability of SCIP to obtain funding to purchase power by
debt financing or other means. The loss of power would have a
disastrous effect on the economy and human population of south-
central Arizona.
The Department of the Interior is drafting legislation to
authorize the divestiture of SCIP assets and the Administration
hopes to proceed expeditiously. The Committee would encourage
all parties to work together to make divestiture a top priority
during the remainder of this congressional session.

Language is included in the bill extending the availability
of previously appropriated funds for the purpose of road work.
GENERAL PROVISIONS--THIS CHAPTER
Sec. 2601. Authorizes the Bureau of Land Management to
provide an estimated $168,000 from unobligated balances in its
land acquisition account for Oregon projects to fund land
exchanges at Steens Mountain, OR. Amounts appropriated in the
Fiscal Year 2001 Omnibus Consolidated Appropriations Act for
land exchanges at Steens Mountain did not fully fund the amount
necessary to complete the land exchanges authorized in the
Steens Mountain Cooperative Management and Protection Act.
Sec. 2602. Corrects a Public Law reference in section 338
of the Interior and Related Agencies Appropriations Act for
fiscal year 2001.
Sec. 2603. Modifies a provision in Public Law 106-558 in
order to authorize the payment of full overtime rates for fire
fighters in fiscal year 2001.
Sec. 2604. Permits the Forest Service to receive
reimbursement for expenditures for projects that otherwise
qualify for the use of Federal-aid Highways funds. Emergency
relief for Federally owned roads is routinely made available to
the Forest Service in the form of Federal-aid highways funds
(Department of the Treasury account 12-69X8083). These monies
provide critical funding for the repair of forest roads made
necessary by storms, floods, and other natural occurrences.
However, timely repair work is often needed prior to Federal-
aid Highways funds being made available to the Forest Service
by the Federal Highway Administration. This time lag in the
provision of Federal-aid Highways funds necessitates the
interim use of agency funds, which were budgeted specifically
for other projects, to complete such repairs. The ability to
reimburse accounts that were used to fund projects, which would
otherwise qualify for the use of Federal-Aid Highways funds, is
necessary to assure that both needed emergency repair work and
regularly planned, budgeted, and approved projects are
completed.
Sec. 2605. Requires that $2,000,000 provided to the Forest
Service in the Fiscal Year 2001 Appropriations Act be advanced
as a direct lump sum payment to Ketchikan Public Utilities
(KPU) in order to clear a right-of-way for the Swan Lake-Lake
Tyee Intertie. The Committee is concerned that continued delay
in initiating construction of the Intertie is harmful to the
economy of Southeast Alaska and fails to promote the clean and
efficient production of electricity.
Sec. 2606. Makes Section 122 of Public Law 106-291
permanent.
Sec. 2607. Makes permanent Section 351 of Public Law 105-
277 regarding the provision of health care services to Alaska
Natives.
CHAPTER 7
Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education and
Related Agencies
DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
Employment and Training Administration
Training and Employment Services
(including rescissions)
2001 appropriation to date.............................. $5,670,805,000
2001 supplemental estimate..............................................
Committee recommendation:
Supplemental........................................ 45,000,000
Rescission.......................................... -262,500,000
The Committee recommends a supplemental and offsetting
rescission in response to a reprogramming request submitted by
the Administration to move $45,000,000 from Youth Opportunity
Grants ($25,000,000) and Safe Schools/Healthy Students
($20,000,000) to Youth Activities, both as authorized by the
Workforce Investment Act and funded in the Department of
Labor's Training and Employment Services account. The Committee
does not believe that a reprogramming is the appropriate method
of moving funds between these programs, most amounts for which
were stipulated in bill language, nor is a transfer allowable
in light of the magnitude of the funds involved. The Committee
does believe that it is appropriate to move the funds, however,
and in order to respond to the Administration's request,
provides a supplemental and corresponding rescission in order
to accomplish the intended purpose. The remaining reprogramming
action requested by the Administration moving $20,000,000 from
Incumbent Workers to Responsible Reintegration for Young
offenders is approved.
In addition, the Committee recommends rescission of
$217,500,000 in consideration of high levels of unexpended
Dislocated Worker Employment Training Activities funds
resulting from the transition from the Job Training Partnership
Act to the Workforce Investment Act. Of the amount rescinded,
$57,500,000 is from the National Reserve and $160,000,000 is
from the formula program. In order to assure that rescinded
formula amounts are taken from States with the highest
unexpended balances, the Committee has included bill language
to ensure that States that do not have excess unexpended
balances are not impacted, to the extent possible, by this
rescission. The bill language permits the Secretary to
determine the amount of excess unexpended balances based on
final State reports as of June 30, 2001. It is the intent of
this bill language to restore, as much as possible, the
reduction of this rescission to those States that are spending
on an acceptable basis. The Secretary shall give special
consideration for funding requests under National Emergency
Grants from States on behalf of local areas which have expended
their formula grants and require additional funds to provide
reemployment assistance to dislocated workers. If startup
problems are resolved and unexpended balances reduced, the
Committee will reconsider the program's funding level as part
of its fiscal year 2002 deliberations. The Committee remains
strongly supportive of the Workforce Investment Act Dislocated
Worker program, and intends to carefully monitor the need for
enhanced job training services, recognizing that at a time of
economic slowdown, the workforce system will play an even more
vital role in retraining our workers to compete in the global
economy.
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Health Resources and Services Administration
HEALTH RESOURCES AND SERVICES
The Committee has transferred $1,500,000 from the health
facilities construction and renovation account to the rural
health outreach grant program. These funds are to be used to
support the Children's Health Fund.
The Committee has included technical language clarifying
that $900,000 previously appropriated for Northeastern
University in Boston, Massachusetts is to be used to train
allied health care professionals to serve in low-income areas.
The funding previously appropriated for construction and
renovation of Scripps Memorial East County Hospital in El
Cajon, California shall be divided equally between Sharps
Grossmont Hospital, located in San Diego County and El Centro
Regional Medical Center, located in Imperial County.
National Institutes of Health
(transfer of funds)
With the enactment of the National Institute of Biomedical
Imaging and Bioengineering Establishment Act of 2000, and
subsequent establishment of the new institute, bill language is
necessary to allow transfer of funds from the Office of the
Director, National Institutes of Health to the National
Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering to fund
activities associated with the program planning and start-up
activities of the new institute.
Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration
Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services
2001 appropriations to date............................. $2,958,001,000
2001 supplemental estimate..............................................
Committee recommendation................................ 6,500,000
The Committee recommends a supplemental of $6,500,000 for
St. Elizabeths Hospital. These funds include $5,500,000 for the
estimated cost of mothballing and stabilization to prevent
further deterioration of the buildings on the St. Elizabeths
West Campus during an extended period while excessing, reuse
planning, and disposition take place. An additional $1,000,000
will pay for day to day protection and maintenance costs.
Administration for Children and Families
Low Income Home Energy Assistance
2001 appropriation to date.............................. $1,700,000,000
2001 supplemental estimate.............................. 150,000,000
Committee recommendation................................ 300,000,000
The Committee recommends an additional $300,000,000 for the
Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP). The
Administration requested a supplemental of $150,000,000. When
combined with the $1,400,000,000 already appropriated for
fiscal year 2001, and $300,000,000 in emergency funding which
had already been utilized, a total of $2,000,000,000 is
provided in appropriations for fiscal year 2001.
The additional funding is intended to serve as a reserve to
provide home energy assistance to low-income households in the
event of natural disasters or other emergencies. Bill language
extends availability of the funds until expended.
Children and Families Services Programs
The Committee recommends that a technical correction be
made in the statement of the managers accompanying the
Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education
and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2001. Under the
Administration for Children and Families, the statement
recommends that $550,000 be made available for an Early
Childhood Development Center at ``Texas Tech University''. The
entity receiving the funds should have read ``Texas A&M;
University at Corpus Christi''.
DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
Education Reform
The Committee recommendation includes bill language which
makes a technical correction related to a project specified in
the statement of the managers on the conference report
accompanying the Departments of Labor, Health and Human
Services, and Education, and Related Agencies Appropriations
Act, 2001.
Education for the Disadvantaged
Title I Grants to Local Educational Agencies
2001 appropriation to date.............................. $8,601,721,000
2001 supplemental estimate..............................................
Committee recommendation................................ 161,000,000
The Committee recommendation includes an additional
$161,000,000 for the Title I grants to local educational
agencies program. The Administration did not request a
supplemental appropriation for this program. This supplemental
appropriation is required to meet the additional program costs
associated with updated poverty and expenditure data that
became available in January 2001.
It is the intent of the Committee that, when taken together
with the technical correction to the basic grants amount
included in bill language under this heading, these additional
resources will result in a final fiscal year 2001 appropriation
of $7,397,971,000 for basic grants and $1,364,750,000 for
concentration grants ($8,762,721,000.) The Committee further
intends that these additional resources will be used to provide
each State and local educational agency the greater of either
the amount it would receive at base levels specified in the
conference report to accompany H.R 4577 under the 100-percent
hold harmless or what it would receive using the statutory
formulas. The technical correction made to the appropriation
for this program and the additional resources made available by
this supplemental appropriations act shall take effect as if
included in Public Law 106-554 on the date of its enactment.
IMPACT AID
The Committee recommendation includes bill language which
requires that $6,000,000 appropriated under this heading for
construction activities be distributed by the formula
authorized in section 8007 of the Elementary and Secondary
Education Act, as in effect on September 30, 2000. The
remaining appropriation of $6,802,000 for construction
activities should be used in accordance with the language under
this heading in the statement of the managers on the conference
report accompanying the Departments of Labor, Health and Human
Services, and Education and Related Agencies Appropriations
Act, 2001.
SPECIAL EDUCATION
The Committee recommendation includes bill language which
makes a technical correction related to a project specified in
the statement of the managers on the conference report
accompanying the Departments of Labor, Health and Human
Services, and Education, and Related Agencies Appropriations
Act, 2001.
EDUCATION RESEARCH, STATISTICS, AND IMPROVEMENT
The Committee recommendation includes bill language which
makes technical corrections related to the amount of funding
available for projects specified in the statement of the
managers on the conference report accompanying the Departments
of Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education, and Related
Agencies Appropriations Act, 2001. The Committee recommendation
also includes bill language which makes a technical correction
related to a project specified in the statement of the
managers.
GENERAL PROVISION--THIS CHAPTER
Sec. 2701. The Committee has included bill language to
clarify the intent of the Congress with regard to funding
provided pursuant to section 117 of the Carl D. Perkins
Vocational and Technical Education Act of 1998 (Perkins III).
Funding available for this section is intended to be provided
only to tribal colleges that do not receive Federal support
under the Tribally Controlled Community College or University
Assistance Act of 1978 or the Navajo Community College Act and
whose primary purpose is to provide full-time technical and
vocational educational programs to American Indian students.
This language is necessary due to the Administration's new
interpretation of this provision of the Perkins Act.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Salaries and Expenses
2001 appropriation to date.............................. $768,497,000
2001 supplemental estimate.............................. 61,662,000

The Committee has deferred without prejudice, the request
of $61,662,000 for the House of Representatives Salaries and
Expenses.
OFFICE OF COMPLIANCE
Salaries and Expenses
2001 appropriation to date.............................. $1,816,000
2001 supplemental estimate.............................. 35,000
Committee recommendation................................ 35,000
The Committee recommends the request of $35,000 for the
Office of Compliance. These funds are needed owing to an
unforeseen controversy involving almost 400 covered employees,
each of whom is entitled to counseling and mediation services
under section 403 of the Congressional Accountability Act. The
amount includes $45,000 for mediation services, offset by
decreases of $8,000 in supplies and $2,000 in rent,
communications and utilities. Without the supplemental
appropriation, the Office of Compliance could be forced to stop
all contracted health and safety inspections for the balance of
the fiscal year.
ARCHITECT OF THE CAPITOL
The Committee notes that the Architect of the Capitol (AOC)
has requested authority to increase the level of compensation
for the Architect and certain key AOC staff. The Committee
believes that, before approving such a request, a general
management review of the AOC operations would be helpful in
evaluating and determining appropriate levels of compensation
for AOC management. This management review should include an
overall assessment of the agency's organizational structure,
strategic planning, skills, staffing, systems, accountability
reporting, and execution of its statutory and assigned
responsibilities. The Committee directs that the General
Accounting Office (GAO) lead this review, in consultation and
coordination with the Architect of the Capitol, building upon
earlier management reviews, and consider best practices in its
evaluation and recommendations. The GAO report should include
recommendations for enhancing the overall effectiveness and
efficiency of AOC operations along with recommendations as to
how to implement such improvements. GAO should report the

2001 appropriation to date.............................. $71,305,000
2001 supplemental estimate.............................. 9,900,000
Committee recommendation................................ 9,900,000
The Committee recommends the budget request of $9,900,000
for Congressional printing and binding. These funds will
replenish a shortfall in the Congressional Printing and Binding
appropriation based on work requirements in fiscal year 2000.
Government Printing Office Revolving Fund
2001 appropriation to date..............................................
2001 supplemental estimate.............................. $6,000,000
Committee recommendation................................ 6,000,000
The Committee recommends the budget request of $6,000,000
for the GPO revolving fund. These funds are needed to cover the
cost of improvements to GPO's air conditioning and lighting
systems. The chillers used in the air conditioning system are
in critical need of replacement and are at a high risk of
failure.
GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE
Salaries and Expenses
2001 appropriation to date.............................. $387,020,000
2001 supplemental estimate.............................. 2,600,000
Committee recommendation................................................
The Committee does not recommend $2,600,000 for GAO's
responsibilities under the Truth in Regulating Act of 2000. The
Committee does not believe initiating this program is an urgent
need at this time.
GENERAL PROVISIONS--THIS CHAPTER
Sec. 2801. The Committee recommends a provision authorizing
one consultant for the President pro tempore emeritus.
Sec. 2802. The Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial Commission Act
is amended to shift the role of providing administrative
support to the Commission from the General Services
Administration to the Library of Congress, and to clarify that
the anticipated support services include disbursing Commission
funds and computing and disbursing the pay of Commission
personnel. The particular services to be rendered will be
specified in an agreement between the Commission and the
Library established under the Economy Act, 31 U.S.C. 1535.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
Coast Guard
Operating Expenses
2001 appropriation to date.............................. $3,185,033,000
2001 supplemental estimate.............................. 92,000,000
Committee recommendation................................ 92,000,000
The Committee recommendation includes an additional
$92,000,000 for Coast Guard operating expenses for fiscal year
2001, the same as the Administration's request. These funds are
provided to compensate the Coast Guard for higher-than-expected
military pay and entitlement costs, energy costs, aviation
maintenance expenditures, and costs associated with the
deployment of a Port Security Unit (PSU) to the Middle East. In
order to cover these costs, the Coast Guard has been required
to divert funding from aircraft and vessel maintenance
activities as well as critical unit level operations including
fisheries enforcement patrols. The funds provided will be used
to restore these activities. The Committee understands that the
deployment of the PSU, which will conclude at the end of June,
has resulted in a degradation of funding available for these
critical unit level operations. The Committee understands that
no additional deployments will take place for this mission
within this fiscal year except through reimbursable agreement.
Consistent with the Administration's request, an additional
$6,000,000 is provided in Title I of this bill to compensate
the Coast Guard for TRICARE contract price adjustments.

The Committee recommendation includes a rescission of
contract authority totaling $10,000,000 from funds authorized
to be appropriated in surface transportation legislation
enacted in June 1975 (Public Law 94-280), March 1978 (Public
Law 95-599), April 1982 (Public Law 97-424) and January 1987
(Public Law 100-17). These funds are to be derived from
individual surface transportation projects that have been
completed but have small amounts of unspent contract authority
remaining.
GENERAL PROVISION--THIS CHAPTER
Sec. 2901. The Committee recommendation includes a
provision clarifying the use of funds appropriated for fiscal
years 1999 and 2000 for bus and bus-related facilities within

2001 appropriation to date.............................. $206,396,000
2001 supplemental estimate.............................. 49,576,000
Committee recommendation................................ 49,576,000
The Committee recommends an appropriation of $49,576,000
for the Financial Management Service to implement a tax rate
reduction credit as specified in section 101 of the Economic
Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001. The funding
supports the purchase of check stock and other related paper

The Committee recommends an appropriation of $66,200,000
for the Internal Revenue Service to implement a tax rate
reduction credit as specified in section 101 of the Economic
Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001. The funding
supports advance mailings to taxpayers of the tax rate
reduction credit schedule as well as related customer service
and account reconciliation activities.
GENERAL PROVISION--THIS CHAPTER
Sec. 21001. The Committee recommendation includes a
technical correction to Section 413 of H.R. 5658, as
incorporated by reference in Public Law 106-554, designating
the recently-completed classroom building constructed at the
Core Campus of the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center in
Glynco, Georgia, as the ``Paul Coverdell Building''.
CHAPTER 11
Subcommittee on Veterans Affairs and Housing and Urban Development, and
Independent Agencies
DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS
Veterans Benefits Administration
COMPENSATION AND PENSIONS
2001 appropriation to date.............................. $22,766,276,000
2001 supplemental estimate.............................. 589,413,000
Committee recommendation................................ 589,413,000
The Committee supports a $589,413,000 increase in the
statutory limit of $22,766,276,000 to assure payment to
veterans and their families of mandatory disability
compensation and pension benefits enacted in law after the 2001
Appropriations Act. Absent this adjustment, there may be
insufficient funds to pay all of these mandatory benefits for
the remainder of the current fiscal year.
Of the increased amount provided, $523,000,000 is provided
for the 3.5 percent benefit increase for veterans with service-
connected disabilities and survivors of certain disabled
veterans required in the Veterans Compensation Cost-of-Living
Adjustment Act of 2000 (Public Law 106-413); $12,000,000 is
provided to meet the additional benefit costs of program
enhancements afforded under the Veterans Benefits and Health
Care Improvement Act of 2000 (Public Law 106-419); $17,000,000
is provided for the costs arising from the addition of diabetes
to the list of diseases covered in the Agent Orange Act of 1991
(Public Law 102-4); and $38,000,000 is provided for rate
adjustments authorized in the Omnibus Consolidated
Appropriations Act, 2000 (Public Law 106-554) due to the
Consumer Price Index computation error of 1999.
READJUSTMENT BENEFITS
2001 appropriation to date.............................. $1,634,000,000
2001 supplemental estimate.............................. 347,000,000
Committee recommendation................................ 347,000,000
The Committee supports a $347,000,000 increase in the
statutory limit of $1,634,000,000 to assure payment of
mandatory increases in Montgomery GI Bill (MGIB) and related
benefits enacted in law after the 2001 Appropriations Act.
Absent this adjustment, there may be insufficient funds to pay
all of these mandatory benefits for the remainder of the
current fiscal year.
The Floyd D. Spence National Defense Authorization Act for
fiscal year 2001 (Public Law 106-419) expanded educational and
related assistance programs for active-duty personnel,
veterans, and their families. Of the increased amount provided
to assure payment of: a 21 percent increase in the basic full-
time education monthly benefit rates under MGIB from $552 to
$650, which became effective November 1, 2000; an increase in
monthly rates for survivors and dependents education assistance
from $485 to $588, which became effective November 1, 2000; and
a change allowing up to $2,000 per person for licensing and
certification testing under MGIB, which became effective March
1, 2001.
Veterans Health Administration
MEDICAL AND PROSTHETIC RESEARCH
The Committee recognizes that the VA research program must
undertake a certain level of travel to properly optimize the
function of this worthwhile program and agrees to increase the
current understated fiscal year 2001 travel limitation of
$2,500,000 to $3,500,000.
Departmental Administration
GENERAL OPERATING EXPENSES
(Transfer of Funds)
2001 appropriation to date.............................. $1,047,690,000
2001 supplemental estimate.............................. (19,000,000)
Committee recommendation................................ (19,000,000)
The Committee is supportive of VBA's efforts to solve the
mounting claims problem by hiring and training additional
claims adjudicators immediately. Due to enactment of the
Veterans Claims Assistance Act of 2000 (Public Law 106-475) and
the addition of diabetes to the list of diseases associated
with exposure to certain herbicide agents, as provided by the
Agent Orange Act of 1991 (Public Law 102-4), more than 450,000
claims would be added to the processing workload. Pending
workloads and processing timeliness would degrade to
unacceptable levels without the ability to hire and train
personnel in 2001 to process this additional workload.
The Committee therefore agrees to transfer not more than
$19,000,000 from Medical Care to General Operating Expenses
(GOE) to provide funding for additional operating expenses for
claims processing in the VBA. These funds will assist in the
hiring and training of approximately 400 personnel. The
Committee also agrees to increase the travel limitation in
fiscal year 2001 by $3,500,000 more than originally requested
to support training efforts. The new GOE travel limitation
would be $17,500,000 for fiscal year 2001.
DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT
Community Planning and Development
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT FUND
(Including Rescission)
The Committee includes bill language that makes a
correction to the Community Development Fund account in Public
Law 106-377 to make all funds, except for the funds that
support the costs associated with section 108 loan guarantees,
available for obligation through September 30, 2003.
The Committee also includes bill language to make a
technical correction to clarify the allowable use of $350,000
previously appropriated for Rio Arriba County, New Mexico.
Federal Housing Administration
FHA--Mutual Mortgage Insurance Program Account
(Transfer of Funds)
2001 appropriation to date.............................. $330,160,000
2001 supplemental estimate.............................. (8,000,000)
Committee recommendation................................ (8,000,000)
The Committee recommendation includes bill language to
allow the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to
use fiscal year 2001 funds for a corrective action in response
to a probable fiscal year 2000 violation of the Anti-Deficiency
Act which occurred during the prior HUD Administration. The
proposed language would not provide any additional resources to
correct the deficiency, but grant HUD flexibility to pay the
obligation and accrued interest using funds appropriated to
both FHA administrative accounts and to the HUD general
salaries and expense account.
FHA--General and Special Risk Program Account
2001 appropriation to date.............................. $101,000,000
2001 supplemental estimate.............................. 40,000,000
Committee recommendation................................................
The Committee includes bill language to remove limitations
from the $40,000,000 in credit subsidy previously appropriated
in Public Law 106-554, rather than providing an additional
appropriation as proposed by the Administration. The
Committee's recommendation will allow FHA to resume guarantees
of all multi-family loans meeting underwriting criteria through
the remainder of this fiscal year.
The Committee also recommends that the Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD) apportion these funds to
remain available for the remainder of the year and to allocate
no more than 10 percent of these funds for section 221(d)(3)
projects. The Committee notes that HUD has experienced unusual
growth in this program in the past year that is not consistent
with the historical average for this program. The Committee is
concerned that unusual growth in the 221(d)(3) program may
limit the availability of funds for other multi-family
programs. Therefore, the Committee recommends a limitation to
ensure that the administration of the credit subsidy program is
consistent with past patterns and practices.
INDEPENDENT AGENCIES
Environmental Protection Agency
State and Tribal Assistance Grants
The Committee includes bill language to make a technical
correction to clarify the allowable use of $1,000,000
previously appropriated for Beloit, Wisconsin.
National Aeronautics and Space Administration
HUMAN SPACE FLIGHT
The Committee has included bill language to remove a
restriction placed on previously appropriated funds to cover
the costs of conducting scientific research aboard Shuttle
mission STS-107. The fiscal year 2000 Department of Veterans
Affairs, Housing and Urban Development Appropriations Act
(Public Law 106-74) provided $40,000,000 in the Human Space
Flight account for Shuttle mission R-2, dedicated to life and
micro-gravity science. However, NASA has been forced to delay
the proposed R-2 mission due to delays in overhauling the
Shuttle Columbia and the need to conduct the Hubble Telescope
servicing mission.
The language included by the Committee would broaden the
use of the R-2 funds allowing for life and micro-gravity
research on STS-107 with the remainder dedicated for Space
Station research in fiscal year 2001. The Committee expects
NASA to consult with the Congress on options for the research
planned for the R-2 mission in the broader context of the
future funding required to support Space Station research.
TITLE III--GENERAL PROVISIONS
Sec. 3001. The Committee also recommends language limiting
the availability of funds in the bill to the current fiscal
year unless otherwise expressly provided.
Sec. 3002. The Committee has included language providing an
additional $1,700,000 for the U.S.-China Security Review
Commission. This will enable the Commission to be fully staffed
through calendar year 2002 and will provide for necessary
administrative support costs.
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, with particularity, each

Chapter 7: Department of Education: Education for the
Disadvantaged, $161,000,000.
Chapter 9: Department of Transportation: Coast Guard,
operating expenses, $92,000,000.
COMPLIANCE WITH PARAGRAPH 12, RULE XXVI OF THE STANDING RULES OF THE
SENATE

on a bill or joint resolution repealing or amending any statute
or part of any statute include ``(a) the text of the statute or

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
the committee.''
In compliance with this rule, the following changes in
existing law proposed to be made by the bill are shown as
follows: existing law to be omitted is enclosed in black
brackets; new matter is printed in Italics; and existing law in
which no change is proposed is shown in Roman.
