The recommendation includes $74,426,257,000 for defense-related programs, primarily the costs of continuing operations in Afghanistan and Iraq, in title I.
The recommendation also includes $4,322,700,000 for international security programs, for assistance for reconstruction in Afghanistan and Iraq, and for support for coalition allies in title II.
Title III includes appropriations totaling $687,145,000 for domestic appropriations upgrading security and counter-terrorism activities.

CHAPTER 1
SUBCOMMITTEE ON DEFENSE
DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE--MILITARY
OVERVIEW OF THIS CHAPTER
The Committee recommends appropriations totaling $73,280,703,000 for various Department of Defense Programs in this Chapter.

MILITARY PERSONNEL
The Committee recommends $17,531,786,000 for pay, allowances, subsistence, and other personnel costs for Active, Guard, and Reserve troops activated for duty in Iraq, Afghanistan, and other areas around the world in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom, Operation Enduring Freedom and the Global War on Terror. This recommendation includes funding for special pays, including Imminent Danger Pay, Family Separation Allowance, foreign language proficiency pay, and Hardship Duty Pay. To sustain the readiness levels of deploying units, this recommendation supports the pay of personnel affected by military stop-loss programs and personnel maintained on active duty above the normal end strength levels. This recommendation also includes funding for increased unemployment compensation costs associated with demobilization of Reserve Component members, and additional retention incentives for Special Operations Forces.
Included in the Committee's recommendation are funds to be available for extra reimbursement payments to the Servicemembers' Group Life Insurance [SGLI] program and for enhanced payments for certain death gratuities. This recommendation includes general provisions to authorize the Department of Defense to increase to $500,000 the amount that can be paid to the surviving families. This $500,000 amount is a combination of a $100,000 death gratuity (increased from $12,420) and $400,000 of elective coverage under SGLI (increased from $250,000 maximum coverage).
The Committee's recommendation restores funds transferred early in the fiscal year through approved reprogrammings that were necessary to meet urgent force protection and war-related requirements.
The Committee is also aware and concerned about the challenges the Defense Department, particularly the Army and Marine Corps, faces to meet the recruiting goals that are necessary to support the authorized end strength. Included in the recommendation are funds to support recruiting and retention efforts.
The following table provides details of the Committee's recommendations for the military personnel accounts:

The Committee recommends $37,438,852,000 for operation and maintenance accounts in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. The Committee recommendation would provide funds for the incremental cost of ground operations, flying hours, logistics support, fuel, travel and transportation. The funds would also finance the repair and refurbishment of equipment used in Iraq and Afghanistan to ensure our forces remain ready to meet global operational commitments.

HMMWV Recapitalization- In Title IX of the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2005 (Public Law 108-287), Congress appropriated $56,050,000 in the `Operation and Maintenance, Army' account for Brigade Restructuring HMMWV Recapitalization. The Committee understands that according to Army General Counsel, `Other Procurement, Army' is the appropriate account for execution of these funds. In order to comply with the original intent of Congress, the Committee directs the Army to transfer the HMMWV Recapitalization funding provided in Title IX of Public Law 108-287 to the `Other Procurement, Army' account for execution following normal reprogramming procedures.

The Committee recommends $580,427,000 for the Special Operations Command. This is $55,000,000 below the budget request. Of this amount $30,000,000 was reduced for classified programs and $25,000,000 is not recommended for the payment to irregular forces or other groups. The Committee believes this authority is unnecessary considering other authorities and funding which have been provided elsewhere.
Support of Coalition Liaison Officers- The supplemental request includes a provision that would extend the authority provided in 10 U.S.C. 1051a to September 30, 2006. The current authority expires September 30, 2005. Under this authority, the Secretary of Defense may reimburse coalition liaison officers from another nation for travel, subsistence, and other personnel expenses. The Committee understands the extension of this authority is also included in the fiscal year 2006 Department of Defense legislative package. The Committee, therefore, does not include the proposed provision in this bill and expects this legislation to be addressed in the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2006.
Military Tents- The Committee encourages the Department of Defense to use some of the funds in the Operation and Maintenance account to clear the backlog of military tents.

Electronic Jammers (Warlocks)- The Committee is concerned that the supplemental request contains no funding for the electronic jammers used to combat remote-controlled bombs in Iraq when the Army is drastically short of the number of jammers required for force protection in theater. While the Committee commends the Army for working to deploy `next-generation' electronic jamming systems later this year, the Committee believes the Army needs to aggressively pursue the deployment of existing Improvised Explosive Device [IED] countermeasures. To accelerate the fielding of existing technology, the Committee provides $25,000,000 for Warlock electronic jamming systems.

DD(X) Integrated Power System- Land-based testing of the Integrated Power System for DD(X), the next-generation Navy destroyer, is scheduled for this summer. During this testing, the Navy plans to use a fall back motor option instead of the Permanent Magnet Motor [PMM] being developed as part of the DD(X) program. The Committee is aware the PMM is significantly lighter and smaller than the fall back option and is much more efficient than any other motor option. The Committee, therefore, directs the Navy to continue PMM development efforts and evaluate conducting land-based testing of the PMM prior to Production Readiness Review [PRR].

CHEMICAL AGENTS AND MUNITIONS DESTRUCTION, ARMY
The Committee is concerned with the status of the Chemical Demilitarization program. The cost of operations and development of new facilities is growing at a disturbing rate. The increasing expenses when combined with delays in developing the Blue Grass and Pueblo Chemical Munitions Disposal Facilities are placing the nation's ability to meet the Chemical Weapons Convention Treaty requirements at risk. The Committee believes the Chemical Demilitarization program will require significantly more funding to comply with the Treaty.
Further, the Committee understands the Department of Defense is conducting a study of the program to determine options to address the cost growth and funding issues. While the Committee understands the need to perform a review to address challenges that arise, the Committee does not support the use of appropriated funds for any studies that consider transporting chemical munitions across state lines. Also, the Committee directs the Department to continue operations to destroy chemical munitions and continue to develop new sites while the study is on-going. The Treaty timelines are too constrained to permit the Newport plant to be idle or to delay development of the Blue Grass and Pueblo facility sites. Further, the Committee expects that all of the planned sites will be developed and operated to include Blue Grass and Pueblo and instructs the Department of Defense to begin obligation of funds at Blue Grass and Pueblo immediately. The Committee has included Section 1115 to address these matters.
The Committee directs the Department of Defense to prepare a report to be delivered to the congressional defense committees not later than 90 days after enactment of this Act, that (1) addresses the funding required by year to develop, operate and complete the Chemical Demilitarization program within Treaty requirements, (2) provides the Department's plan to fully fund the program in order to comply with the Treaty, (3) describes the Department's plan for each of the known sites or facilities (Tooele, Anniston, Umatilla, Pine Bluff, Aberdeen, Newport, Blue Grass, and Pueblo), and (4) addresses whether the Army should have executive agent responsibility for Assembled Chemical Weapons Alternatives [ACWA]. The Committee also directs the Department of Defense to submit a report detailing the current status of obligations and expenditures at both sites covered under the ACWA program. This report shall be provided to the Defense Committees 60 days following enactment and every 60 days thereafter until the funds are fully expended.

CHAPTER 2
SUBCOMMITTEE ON MILITARY CONSTRUCTION AND VETERANS AFFAIRS, AND RELATED AGENCIES
DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
MILITARY CONSTRUCTION
The Committee carefully reviewed the Department's request for emergency military construction funds. In addition to scrutinizing the detailed proposal for each project, the Committee reviewed the request with two broad criteria in mind: whether the proposed spending is truly of an emergency nature, and whether the construction of permanent facilities (where proposed), rather than those of a more expeditionary nature, is appropriate.
Emergency funding is appropriate in limited circumstances. The need must have been impossible to anticipate in time for inclusion in a regular budget request, or of such an urgent nature that construction of a facility must begin before regular appropriations would be available. Construction projects by their nature have long lead times and meeting the `emergency nature' test is difficult. This becomes increasingly true the longer the Global War on Terror endures and operations approach a more steady state.
The question of permanence also bears on whether supplemental emergency funding is appropriate. In some cases (e.g., construction of a runway for heavy aircraft) it may not be possible to distinguish usefully between temporary and permanent facilities. But in many cases useful distinctions can be made. Given the expeditionary nature of our Nation's efforts in Southwest Asia, the Committee would expect temporary facilities to be the rule rather than the exception. The Committee recognizes that some facilities may support longer-term plans for an enduring presence in the region, but the very fact that such projects are part of long-term planning argues against their inclusion in an emergency appropriation. The nature of the United States' long-term presence in the region remains largely undecided and should be determined before extensive investments in permanent facilities are made. Generally, projects intended to support a longer-term enduring presence should be requested in the normal budget process, in which both authorization and appropriations committees have an opportunity to carefully consider the request.
With these criteria in mind, the Committee recommends supporting much, but not all, of the Department's request. The Committee believes that all the proposed projects have merit and ultimately would provide useful capability in the field, but this is an insufficient test for determining whether appropriations should be provided on an emergency basis outside the normal authorization and appropriations process.
