findings:
            (1) The President of France stated on June 13, 
        1995, that the Republic of France plans to conduct 
        eight nuclear test explosions over the next several 
        months.
            (2) The People's Republic of China continues to 
        conduct underground nuclear weapons tests.
            (3) The United States, France, Russia, and Great 
        Britain have observed a moratorium on nuclear testing 
        since 1992.
            (4) A resumption of testing by the Republic of 
        France could result in the disintegration of the 
        current testing moratorium and a renewal of underground 
        testing by other nuclear weapon states.
            (5) A resumption of nuclear testing by the Republic 
        of France raises serious environmental and health 
        concerns.
            (6) The United Nations Conference on Disarmament 
        presently is meeting in Geneva, Switzerland, for the 
        purpose of negotiating a Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban 
        Treaty (CTBT), which would halt permanently the 
        practice of conducting nuclear test explosions.
            (7) Continued underground weapons testing by the 
        Republic of France and the People's Republic of China 
        undermines the efforts of the international community 
        to conclude a CTBT by 1996, a goal endorsed by 175 
        nations, at the recently completed NPT Extension and 
        Review Conference (the conference for the extension and 
        review of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty).
      (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
that the Republic of France and the People's Republic of China 
should abide by the current international moratorium on nuclear 
test explosions and refrain from conducting underground nuclear 
tests in advance of a Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty.
      Sec. 8117. (a) Limitation on Transfer of Defense Articles 
and Services.--Notwithstanding any other provision of law, none

        enforcement, humanitarian, or disaster relief 
        operation.

        supplies, or services to be transferred.
            (3) In the case of a proposed transfer of equipment 
        or supplies--
                    (A) a statement of whether the inventory 
                requirements of all elements of the Armed 
                Forces (including the reserve components) for 
                the type of equipment or supplies to be 
                transferred have been met; and
                    (B) a statement of whether the items 
                proposed to be transferred will have to be 
                replaced and, if so, how the President proposes 
                to provide funds for such replacement.

       JOINT EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF THE COMMITTEE OF CONFERENCE
      The managers on the part of the House and the Senate at 
the conference on the disagreeing votes of the two Houses on 
the amendment of the Senate to the bill (H.R. 2126), making 
appropriations for the Department of Defense for the fiscal 
year ending September 30, 1996, and for other purposes, submit 
the following joint statement to the House and the Senate in 
explanation of the effect of the action agreed upon by the 
managers and recommended in the accompanying conference report.
      The conference agreement on the Department of Defense 
Appropriations Act, 1996, incorporates some of the provisions 
of both the House and Senate versions of the bill. The language 
and allocations set forth in House Report 104-208 and Senate 
Report 104-124 should be complied with unless specifically 
addressed in the accompanying bill and statement of the 
managers to the contrary.
      Senate Amendment: The Senate deleted the entire House 
bill after the enacting clause and inserted the Senate bill. 
The conference agreement includes a revised bill.
              DEFINITION OF PROGRAM, PROJECT, AND ACTIVITY
      The conferees agree that for the purposes of the Balanced 
Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 (Public Law 
99-177) as amended by the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit 
Control Reaffirmation Act of 1987 (Public Law 100-119) and by 
the Budget Enforcement Act of 1990 (Public Law 101-508), the 
term program, project, and activity for appropriations 
contained in this Act shall be defined as the most specific 
level of budget items identified in the Department of Defense 
Appropriations Act, 1996, the accompanying House and Senate 
Committee reports, the conference report and accompanying joint 
explanatory statement of the managers of the Committee of 
Conference, the related classified annexes and reports, and the 
P-1 and R-1 budget justification documents as subsequently 
modified by Congressional action. The following exception to 
the above definition shall apply:
      For the Military Personnel and the Operation and 
Maintenance accounts, the term ``program, project, and 
activity'' is defined as the appropriations accounts contained 
in the Department of Defense Appropriations Act. At the time 
the President submits his budget for fiscal year 1997, the 
conferees direct the Department of Defense to transmit to the 
congressional defense committees a budget justification 
document to be known as the ``0-1'' which shall identify, at 
the budget activity, activity group, and subactivity group 
level, the amounts requested by the President to be 
appropriated to the Department of Defense for operation and 
maintenance in any budget request, or amended budget request, 
for fiscal year 1997.

           operations provide comfort/enhanced southern watch
      The conference agreement includes $647,100,000, as 
proposed by the House, for unbudgeted costs associated with 
Operations Provide Comfort and Enhanced Southern Watch. Of this 
amount, $77,500,000 is appropriated in Title I, Military 
Personnel, and $569,600,000 is appropriated in Title II, 
Operation and Maintenance. The conferees designate these funds 
as an item of Congressional interest, meaning they can only be 
used for additional incremental costs of Operations Provide 
Comfort and Enhanced Southern Watch unless prior approval is 
granted by the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations 
through normal reprogramming procedures. In addition, the 
conferees direct that none of these funds may be obligated or 
expended unless the costs of these operations are fully 
submitted in the President's fiscal year 1997 budget request. 
The conferees direct that funds shall be available for 
obligation only after submission of the fiscal year 1997 budget 
request, and only if the request fully funds and details the 
estimated costs of these operations. The conferees direct the 
Secretary of Defense to provide a report to the House and 
Senate Committees on Appropriations by January 30, 1996, on 
planned obligations and expenditures of these funds.
                        force structure changes
      The conferees recommend an increase of $38,500,000 to 
maintain fiscal year 1995 Primary Authorized Aircraft (PAA) 
levels in Air National Guard general purpose fighter forces 
during fiscal year 1996.
      The conferees recommend an increase of $34,200,000 to 
sustain the maritime patrol aircraft force structure at 13 
active and 9 reserve squadrons in fiscal year 1996.
      The conferees also recommend an increase of $9,600,000 
for additional Marine Corps Reserve full-time support, in order 
to facilitate the Marine Corps Reserve's contingency role and 
operations.
        military technician and medical personnel reprogramming
      The conferees direct that the Department of Defense, in 
the event of sequestration during fiscal year 1996, protect 
military (civilian) technicians and medical personnel necessary 
to maintain the current level of medical and Reserve Component 
operations, from any associated reduction of personnel pay and 
medical programs (to include CHAMPUS).
                      basic allowance for quarters
      The conferees agree to provide $72,366,000, as proposed 
by the Senate, for an increase in the Basic Allowance for 
Quarters, to be effective January 1, 1996.

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

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

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

                          financial management
      The conferees are concerned about the state of financial 
management in the Department of Defense and the measures that 
may be taken to improve upon past performance. Both the House 
and Senate reports on the fiscal year 1996 Department of 
Defense Appropriations Bill recommended several items for the 
Department's consideration. These items should be merged into a 
single report due to the Committees on Appropriations not later 
than May 31, 1996. The DoD report should address the following 
issues:
            the state of Defense Finance and Accounting Service 
        (DFAS) consolidation and future reorganization plans. 
        Of specific interest are DoD plans concerning 
        establishment of 20 DFAS operating locations;
            opportunities for utilizing private sector 
        financial services to meet non-unique departmental 
        requirements such as travel processing, payroll and 
        contract disbursements;
            procedureal changes designed to improve DoD 
        performance in the areas of unmatched disbursements and 
        negative unliquidated obligations;
            the estimated resource requirements to achieve long 
        term improvements of DoD financial management 
        procedures and systems.
                       Real Property Maintenance
      The conferees agree with the Senate in providing an 
additional $322,000,000 for barracks renovation. The conferees 
have provided a total increase of $700,000,000 to the Real 
Property Maintenance account.

                           security programs
      The conferees agree to reduce the military department's 
security program accounts and the On-Site Inspection Agency. In 
order to meet emergent requirements stemming from valid treaty 
obligations, the conferees expect the Department of Defense to 
submit a reprogramming request subject to normal, prior 
approval reprogramming procedures.
                      transportation improvements
      The conferees agree that the Department of Defense should 
be able to improve the efficiency of the transportation 
organizations and infrastructure under the control of the U.S. 
Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM). The conferees direct that 
the Department of Defense report to the congressional defense 
committees not later than March 31, 1996, on measure that will 
be taken to achieve improvements in this area.
             international military training and education
      The conferees express their continued support for the 
International Military Education and Training Program. The 
conferees note however that this program is funded within 
international affairs programs and is properly within the 
jurisdiction of the Subcommittees on Foreign Operations. 
Therefore, the conferees direct that no funds appropriated in 
this act be used for foreign operations costs associated with 
the International Military Education and Training program.
                    defense commissary access policy
      The conferees direct a report be made by the General 
Accounting Office to the Committee on Appropriations of the 
Senate and the House of Representatives on any changes in DoD 
commissary access policy, including providing reservists new or 
additional privileges, and addressing any resulting financial 
impact on the commissaries.
       military traffic management command reengineering program
      The conferees direct the Department of Defense to provide 
a report on its pilot program to implement commercial business 
practices and standards of service for its movement of military 
household goods, to the congressional defense committees by 
March 1, 1997. This report should fully assess how the pilot 
program impacts the government's transportation costs as 
compared to the current program. The conferees expect the 
Department to fairly evaluate the present program as modified 
by the removal of government unique terms, conditions and 
regulations and using simplified procedures. This analysis 
shall determine whether the proposed reengineering of the 
current program is economically justified, can achieve a higher 
level of service and lower claims frequency.
      In addition, the conferees direct the Department to 
report by January 1, 1996, prior to the implementation of any 
element of the pilot program, on its impact on small businesses 
resulting from, but not limited to, the application of the 
Federal Acquisition Regulations, and the requirement of any 
program elements that are not standard commercial business 
practices.

                  conventional ammunition maintenance
      The conferees direct that of the funds provided for 
conventional ammunition care and maintenance, the Army shall 
expend not less than $300,853,000 for this purpose.
                            national presto
      The conferees direct that not less than $15,000,000 be 
made available in the ``Operation and Maintenance, Army'' 
account only for the remediation of environmental contamination 
at the National Presto Industries, Inc. site in Eau Claire, 
Wisconsin. These funds are to be made available only for the 
implementation and execution of the 1988 agreement between the 
Department of the Army and National Presto Industries, Inc., 
within sixty days of the enactment of this Act and without 
being made subject to any studies, reports or other pre-
conditions that would in any way delay or obstruct the 
obligation and disbursal of the funds. The conferees are 
satisfied that sufficient studies of this matter already have 
been done.
                   life sciences equipment laboratory
      The conferees direct that the Army shall make available 
$500,000 to the Life Sciences Equipment Laboratory at Kelly 
AFB, Texas, for work in support of the Joint Task Force--Full 
Accounting.
                   fort wainwright emergency repairs
      The conferees agree to provide $8,000,000 of available 
funds, for emergency repairs for the Fort Wainwright Central 
Heat and Power Plant.
               contractor-operated parts stores (copars)
      The conferees are concerned by the issues raised in a 
recent GAO study of the COPARS program questioning the 
methodology used by certain military commanders to justify the 
use of alternative approaches. The conferees direct the 
services to suspend all efforts directed toward the elimination 
of COPARS unless and until economic analyses are approved that 
clearly show other alternatives to be more cost-effective. Such 
economic analyses must compare like items of cost (including 
labor and overhead costs of any COPARS alternative) and must 
fully address the concerns about earlier analyses cited in the 
GAO report. To ensure the fairness and objectivity of any such 
analysis, the conferees direct the Secretary to designate a 
single point of contact within the Office of the Secretary of 
Defense for approval of study methodology and any final 
recommendations.

                joint analysis model improvement program
      The conferees agree that, of the funds provided, 
$11,200,000 shall be made available for the Joint Analysis 
Model Improvement Program.
                          pentagon renovation
      The conferees direct that the Pentagon renovation funding 
be consolidated in the Operation and Maintenance, Defense-wide 
account. The conferees have provided a total of $108,020,000 
for the Pentagon renovation.
                      troops to cops and teachers
      The Senate included language providing $52,000,000 to 
continue the Troops to Cops and Troops to Teachers programs. 
The conferees have deleted this language. The conferees expect 
the Defense Department to consider using existing resources 
within this appropriation, if available, to continue these 
programs.
    transition assistance program and relocation assistance program
      The conferees agree to provide $49,300,000 for the 
Transition Assistance Program and $18,504,000 for the 
Relocation Assistance Program for fiscal year 1996. However, 
the conferees are concerned that these programs have become 
permanent entities, even though they were initiated to provide 
service members and their families with separation and 
relocation assistance resulting from the drawdown. At the end 
of fiscal year 1996, the Department of Defense will have 
largely completed its downsizing effort. Accordingly, the 
conferees direct the Department to report to the Defense 
Committees no later than March 1, 1996, on phasing out these 
programs, and what, if any residual level of continued 
resourcing is required.

                   Environmental Restoration, Defense
      The conferees agree to provide $1,422,200,000 for 
Environmental Restoration, Defense.
                       environmental remediation
      The conferees support the ``relative risk'' approach to 
environmental remediation and expect the Department to make 
sure the most hazardous sites receive primary attention. While 
the conferees believe that all bases--those closing and those 
remaining open--must meet environmental standards the 
Department must not let ongoing environmental clean-up efforts 
preclude reuse opportunities at closing military installations. 
In these cases, the Department should work aggressively and 
innovatively with State and local officials to lower clean-up 
costs and to be sure environmental issues do not make it harder 
for affected communities to recover from losing a military 
installation.
                            summer olympics
      The conference agreement recommends an appropriation of 
$15,000,000 as proposed by the House and Senate for support of 
the 1996 Games of the XXVI Olympiad.
             overseas humanitarian, disaster, and civic aid
      The conferees agree to provide $50,000,000 for these 
functions of which $20,000,000 is specifically earmarked for 
training and activities related to the clearing of landmines 
for humanitarian purposes.
      The conferees also agree to the House recommendation to 
consolidate all funds for humanitarian, disaster, and civil aid 
into a single account.
                  former soviet union threat reduction
      The conferees agree to provide $300,000,000 for the 
Former Soviet Union Threat Reduction program, a reduction of 
$71,000,000 from the budget request. Funding provided at the 
subprogram level appears in the following table:

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

            Joint Forces Command, Control and Communications
      The conferees understand the importance of 
interoperability for joint forces in war and peacetime and have 
provided an additional $103,300,000 to correct critical 
deficiencies. However, through testimony from the Vice 
Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff, Service Chiefs and Commanders 
in Chief of the various Unified and Specified Commands, the 
conferees believe that deficiencies in command, control and 
communications still exist. The conferees encourage the 
Secretary of Defense to provide adequate resources for joint 
interoperability initiatives and will entertain reprogramming 
action that provides additional funds for this purpose.
                   ammunition and missile quantities
      The conferees agree the quantities of missiles and 
ammunition noted in the following tables are to be considered a 
floor and direct the Department to buy as many units as 
appropriated funds will allow. In no case shall the Department 
buy less than the quantities noted in the table unless the 
congressional defense committees are informed as to why these 
levels are unachievable.

                          AH-64 Modifications
      The conferees agree to provide the budget request of 
$53,596,000 for AH-64 modifications. Of this amount, $3,000,000 
shall be used to procure additional embedded global 
positioning/inertial navigation systems for Apache helicopters.
                                 uh-60
      The conferees agree with the Senate language regarding 
enhanced protection systems. However, in view of the conference 
agreement to fund a multi-year procurement program for the UH-
60, the conferees believe that the House-recommended report on 
helicopter production strategies is not required.
                      High capacity air ambulance
      The conferees are deeply concerned by the failure of the 
Army to address the need for a High Capacity Air Ambulance 
(HCAA). The Army Surgeon General has stated that this is one of 
his highest priorities. The conferees direct the Army to seek 
an appropriate solution and report the results of the planned 
joint exercise with the Air Force and National Guard by 
February 15, 1996. The report should include the feasibility of 
utilizing C-130s for the HCAA fixed wing requirement, the role 
of the Army and Air National Guard in this mission, and 
requirements for the UH-60L and or UH-60Q helicopters for the 
National Guard in order to accomplish the rotary wing portion 
of this mission. The conferees direct that, of the funds 
appropriated for UH-60Ls, the first 9 aircraft to be procured 
within the Aircraft Procurement, Army appropriation will be 
assigned to the National Guard.

                            f/a-18c/d hornet
      The conferees agree to provide $822,669,000 for the 
acquisition of eighteen F/A-18C/D aircraft. The conferees do 
not agree with the House reduction of funds for procurement of 
ALR-67(V)3 radar warning receivers.
                                 t-39n
      The conferees agree to provide $45,000,000 to purchase 17 
T-39N aircraft. The conferees also agree with the House's 
direction for the Navy to transition to a competitive purchase 
of services contract for logistical support for the T-39N fleet 
after aircraft acquisition. However, the conferees direct that 
this transition should occur at the conclusion of the current 
T-39N contract, which is due to expire at the end of fiscal 
year 1998.
                                 ea-6b
      The conferees agree to provide $165,000,000 for 
modifications and improvements to the EA-6B electronic warfare 
aircraft. The funds are approved for the following purposes: 
$100,000,000 to modify 20 more aircraft to enable the Navy to 
support Air Force requirements; $40,000,000 to buy 60 shipsets 
of Band 9/10 jammer transmitters; and $25,000,000 to buy 30 
USQ-113 radio countermeasures sets. The conferees further agree 
to modify the Senate's direction to use prior year funds for 
the acquisition of Band 9/10 jammers, which is now not 
necessary because they have provided sufficient fiscal year 
1996 funds to procure these systems. The conferees urge the 
Navy to buy these systems expeditiously.
                           p-3 modifications
      The conferees agree with the Senate's direction regarding 
acquisition of the AN/AAQ-22 thermal imaging system and 
incorporation of that system into the P-3 Antisurface Warfare 
Improvement Program (AIP).
                          common ecm equipment
      The conferees support the use of the LAU-138/A launch 
rail chaff dispenser system on Navy tactical aircraft as a cost 
effective means for improving aircrew/aircraft survivability. 
The conferees direct that these systems be managed as fleet 
armament equipment pool assets to afford maximum flexibility 
and cost savings, and that all remaining prior year funds 
appropriated for these systems be expeditiously applied toward 
this purpose.
                        aviation multiyear fund
      The conferees do not agree to provide funds for an 
Aviation Multiyear Fund as proposed by the House. The Navy is 
therefore not required to solicit multiyear bids from E-2C, AV-
8B, and T-45 manufacturers, although it may do so if 
circumstances warrant.

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

                                 ddg-51
      The conferees agree with the House recommendation of 
$2,162,457,000 for the DDG-51 program, which will procure two 
destroyers. The conferees further provide legislative authority 
for the Secretary of the Navy to negotiate contracts for two 
additional DDG-51 class destroyers, and to award the contracts 
for those vessels on October 1, 1996. The conferees believe 
this acquisition strategy will generate increased economies of 
scale and stability for the Navy and the shipbuilding 
industrial base.
                     LPD-17 RCS Engineering Support
      The conferees note that as a result of the Base 
Realignment and Closure decisions, the Navy has reorganized and 
consolidated its Radio Communications Systems (RCS) 
engineering, production, testing, integration and training 
support activities. In assigning RCS engineering support 
workload for the LPD-17 class of ships, the conferees expect 
that the Navy will assign such workload to the most appropriate 
facility.
                                T-AGS-64
      The conferees agree to provide $16,000,000 for advance 
procurement for a T-AGS-64 multi-purpose oceanographic survey 
ship.
                                 LSD-52
      The conferees agree to provide $20,000,000 as recommended 
by the House for one additional SSDS MK-1 unit which the 
conferees direct be installed on LSD-52 during its construction 
prior to delivery of this vessel to the fleet.
                          SHIP COST ADJUSTMENT
      The conferees do not agree to the House proposal to 
modify the ship cost adjustment process by eliminating specific 
designations in the bill, providing new transfer authority, and 
providing reprogramming limitations. The conferees also do not 
agree to the House requirement to include ship cost adjustments 
in the annual omnibus reprogramming process.
      Within the ship cost adjustment implemented in section 
8091 of the Act, the conferees have allocated funds for 
potential settlement of claims on the AOE class of ships. This 
action is taken solely to facilitate the Navy's ability to 
implement a settlement, should one be reached.

                      HM&E Items Under $2,000,000
      The conferees agree to provide $33,389,000 for ``HM&E 
Items Under $2,000,000'', a reduction of $10,000,000. This 
decrease, which is applied against the Surface Ship Support 
Equipment portion, includes a reduction of $3,760,000 against 
the Gaseous Nitrogen Generator subproject.
                          fleet modernization
      The conferees agree to provide $3,000,000 for procurement 
of propeller shaft composite fairwaters to be backfit on CG 47 
class cruisers during overhaul.
                             radar support
      The conferees agree to provide $14,466,000 for the Radar 
Support program, an increase of $14,000,000. The increase 
includes $9,000,000 for the AN/BPS-16 submarine radar and 
$5,000,000 for the AN/SPA-25G Radar Display program.
                    surface sonar windows and domes
      The conferees agree to provide $6,000,000 for procurement 
of replacement sonar rubber domes and windows, provision of 
safety-related field service repair and change-out of this 
equipment, and product improvements to increase durability and 
service life.
                    weapons range support equipment
      The conferees agree to provide $48,830,000, an increase 
of $8,550,000, for Weapons Range Support Equipment program. The 
net increase includes a decrease of $1,200,000 for the 
Electronic Warfare Response Monitor subprogram and an increase 
of $9,750,000 as proposed by the Senate.
                   surface tomahawk support equipment
      The conferees agree to provide $61,293,000 for the 
Surface Tomahawk Support Equipment program, a reduction of 
$10,000,000. The reduction is against the Afloat Planning 
System (APS) subprogram. The conferees are concerned that the 
Navy does not currently have an operational doctrine for the 
tactical use of Tomahawk cruise missiles by ship commanders. 
Furthermore, the conferees question the need to deploy APS on 
all carriers in light of the Challenge Athena satellite 
communications project.
                            an/sps-48e radar
      The conferees direct that the funds previously 
appropriated for Pulse Doppler Mod Kits for AN/SPS-48E radars 
be released to the Navy. The modification of the radar will 
significantly improve its operational effectiveness when 
operating in littoral waters and therefore will improve the 
entire surface fleet's tactical situation awareness when it is 
incorporated into the Cooperative Engagement Capability. Given 
the vital link between these two programs, the conferees 
further direct that management and execution of the upgrade to 
the AN/SPS-48E radar program be conducted by the Program 
Executive Officer for Theater Air Defense.

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

                           strategic airlift
      The conferees agree to provide $183,757,000 for strategic 
airlift, the amount of the budget request. It is the conferees' 
belief that the Defense Acquisition Board's upcoming decision 
on the optimal composition of the airlift fleet will require 
the continued production of C-17 aircraft. The conferees 
therefore direct that from the amount of funding provided for 
strategic airlift the Department of Defense must give first 
priority to fully funding advance procurement for continued 
production of C-17 aircraft in fiscal year 1997.
                           b-1b modifications
      The conferees agree to provide $68,483,000 for B-1B 
modifications, a decrease of $6,900,000 to the budget request. 
The amount provided by the conferees includes a decrease of 
$14,100,000 from cost savings for miscellaneous modifications 
and an increase of $7,200,000 for reliability and 
maintainability improvements identified during the B-1B 
operational readiness assessment. The conferees also agree with 
the Senate's reporting requirement about expanding the B-1B 
conventional mission upgrade program.
                                  a-10
      The conferees agree to provide $41,024,000, a decrease of 
$38,400,000 to the budget request for A-10 modifications. The 
deleted funds are excess to program requirements for fiscal 
year 1996.
                           f-15 modifications
      The conferees agree to provide $78,288,000, a decrease of 
$1,200,000 to the budget request for F-15 modifications. The 
conferees agree with the House reduction of funds for 
installation of landing gear wiring switch kits. The conferees 
do not agree with the Senate reduction of funds for a fighter 
data link modification. In restoring the $15,800,000 deleted by 
the Senate, the conferees direct that $9,000,000 may only be 
used to acquire Joint Tactical Information Distribution System 
(JTIDS) class II terminals for one squadron of F-15 aircraft. 
The remaining $6,800,000 is available only for the 
Multifunctional Information Distribution System (MIDS) variant 
project.
      The Under Secretary of Defense (Acquisition and 
Technology) has informed the conferees of the Defense 
Department's recent decision to meet the F-15 fighter data link 
(FDL) requirements through the MIDS program. The conferees 
understand that the Department intends full and open 
competition for FDL production. The conferees direct the Under 
Secretary to assure the congressional defense committees in 
writing that the use of MIDS architecture and software will not 
place U.S. companies at a competitive disadvantage. This 
assurance is required before release of the formal Request for 
Proposal for the F-15 fighter data link.
                           F-16 Modifications
      The conferees agree to provide $120,606,000 for F-16 
modifications, an increase of $2,000,000 to the budget request. 
The additional funding provided is only for initial acquisition 
of 600 gallon fuel tanks for destructive testing, evaluation 
and limited operational use.
                          C-130 Modifications
      The conferees agree to provide $94,399,000 for C-130 
modifications, an increase of $10,000,000 to the budget 
request. Of the additional funding provided by the conferees, 
$6,000,000 is only for threat defensive systems, and $4,000,000 
is only for acquisition of AN/AAQ-22 thermal imaging systems 
for 10 Air Force Reserve HC-130 aircraft, as recommended by the 
Senate.
                          C-135 Modifications
      The conferees agree to provide $238,764,000, for C-135 
modifications, an increase of $96,000,000 to the budget 
request. The additional funding provided by the conferees is 
only for continued reengining of the Air Guard and Reserve KC-
135 tanker fleet. The conferees have provided sufficient 
funding for four reengining kits.
                           DARP Modifications
      The conferees agree to provide $53,000,000 for Defense 
Airborne Reconnaissance Program (DARP) modifications, an 
increase of $53,000,000 to the budget request. Of the 
additional funding provided by the conferees, $48,000,000 is 
only for the acquisition of two RC-135 reengining kits and 
$5,000,000 is only for costs associated with the refurbishment 
of the SR-71 aircraft.
                    Aircraft Spare and Repair Parts
      The conferees agree to provide $586,281,000 for aircraft 
spare and repair parts, a decrease of $17,338,000 to the budget 
request. The amount of funding provided by the conferees 
includes a decrease of $21,900,000 for C-17 spares, a decrease 
of $8,938,000 for T-1 spares and an increase of $13,500,000 for 
F100-229 engine spares.
                   electronic warfare force structure
      The conferees strongly agree with Senate report language 
with respect to retaining at least 12 EF-111A Raven jammer 
aircraft in the primary aircraft inventory through fiscal year 
1999, and with the Senate directed reporting requirements.

                defense airborne reconnaissance program
      The conferees agree to provide $161,575,000 for 
procurement for the Defense Airborne Reconnaissance Program 
(DARP), a decrease of $17,732,000 to the budget request. The 
conferees support the Army's identified need for a short range 
unmanned air vehicle (UAV), but remain concerned with the 
continuing problems associated with the Hunter program. As a 
result, the conferees have denied funding for marinization of 
the Hunter UAV and direct that the remaining fiscal year 1996 
funds provided for Hunter not be obligated until the 
Appropriations Committees receive the results of the Defense 
Acquisition Board's review of the program. This review should 
include all options for fulfilling the Army's UAV requirement. 
The conferees further direct that use of these funds for any 
other purpose is to be handled through normal reprogramming 
procedures.
                      patrol craft--cyclone class
      The conferees agree to provide $20,000,000 for the 
procurement of one additional PC-Cyclone class operations 
patrol craft/vessel to continue to meet force requirements.
                          natural gas vehicles
      The conferees recommend the Department develop an 
implementation plan and a demonstration effort based on the 
1993 Navy study which specified natural gas vehicles as the 
vehicle of choice for achieving significant emission reductions 
on military bases.
                  National Guard and Reserve Equipment
      The conferees agree to provide $777,000,000 for National 
Guard and Reserve Equipment as proposed by the Senate instead 
of $980,125,000 as proposed by the House.

                     joint logistics systems center
      The conferees do not agree to the House proposal to 
provide an additional $100,000,000 in the Operation and 
Maintenance, Defense-wide appropriation for the Joint Logistics 
Systems Center (JLSC). The conferees recognize that there is 
the potential for significant cost savings from effective 
logistics systems modernization, and believe that JLSC and its 
programs should remain a top priority. A September, 1995 report 
to the House Appropriations Committee by the Committee's 
Surveys and Investigations Staff, however, indicates that the 
JLSC is not properly organized to accomplish the redesign of 
the Department of Defense's logistics systems. The conferees 
direct that not more than half of the funds requested in the 
budget and appropriated for JLSC may be obligated until the 
Secretary of Defense has taken appropriate action to correct 
JLSC's organizational deficiencies and has designated the Air 
Force as the executive agency for the JLSC, which will remain 
the responsibility of the Deputy Undersecretary of Defense 
(Logistics) and will remain located at Wright-Patterson Air 
Force Base. The conferees further direct that the Secretary of 
Defense provide a report to the congressional defense 
committees by February 1, 1996 which explains his plan for 
improving the management of the Joint Logistics Systems Center, 
including improved levels of management, technical, 
contracting, and acquisition support.
               navy standard integrated personnel system
      The conferees have provided $18,000,000 as recommended by 
the House for the Navy Standard Integrated Personnel System 
(NSIPS). The additional funding is only for NSIPS as directed 
in House Report 104-208, page 134, except that $13,000,000 is 
appropriated in Other Procurement, Navy; $2,500,000 in 
Operation and Maintenance, Navy Reserve; and $2,500,000 in 
Operation and Maintenance, Navy. The conferees concur with the 
Department's plan to use a joint working group to define the 
functional and technical requirements for a standard military 
personnel management system. The conferees believe that 
parallel development of NSIPS is critical and direct the Navy, 
the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness, and 
the Assistant Secretary of Defense for C31 to continue NSIPS 
development and implementation as a joint Naval Reserve and 
active team project which will include the core capabilities 
required to support joint requirements for the objective DOD 
field level data collection personnel system. The conferees 
concur with the Department's decision to designate the Navy as 
executive agent for prototyping and testing these field level 
applications or core capabilities and the Air Force as the 
executive agent for the database.
      The conferees are aware of Navy needs to also continue to 
consolidate and integrate its headquarters personnel systems. 
The House previously directed that the Navy Military Personnel 
Distribution System (NMPD) central design authority (CDA) be 
assigned to the Enlisted Personnel Management Center (EPMAC) to 
assure the most efficient and cost effective development and 
maintenance of this system. The conferees understand that the 
Military Assignment, Selection, and Transfer System (MAST) has 
been conceived to modernize Naval personnel management by 
combining legacy systems and allowing these systems to operate 
in a more cost effective and client friendly environment. EPMAC 
has been identified as the technical expert possessing the 
expertise required to meet the development demands of MAST and 
NMPD systems. The conferees direct the Navy to assign CDA 
responsibilities, implementation, and funding functions to 
EMPAC for the MAST and NMPD systems by January, 1996, and that 
the transfer of the NMPD system to EPMAC be completed by 
September, 1996. The conferees direct the Navy to allocate the 
required funding to EPMAC in support of the MAST and NMPD 
system development to include hardware, software, and personnel 
requirements.
      The conferees concur with the House direction that the 
Department of the Navy place the collocated Naval 
Telecommunications and Communications Station (NTCS) functions 
and operations under the operational control and command of the 
Naval Reserve Information Systems Office, except that this 
direction shall only apply to the Central Design Agency 
functions and its related support functions and civilian 
personnel. The conferees direct that these functions continue 
to be supported through the Defense Business Operations Fund.
                         other defense agencies
      The conferees concur with the House direction provided in 
House Report 104-208, pages 136-137 regarding DISA megacenter 
outsourcing. The conferees are adamant that the reporting 
requirements and directions provided in the House report be 
followed by the Department of Defense. While the conferees may 
be able to support outsourcing some non-essential military 
functions and services prior to the completion of recommended 
base closing and realignment consolidations, the conferees 
expect the reporting requirements contained in the House report 
to occur first along with proper Congressional committee 
oversight.
      The conferees concur with the House National Security 
Committee efforts urging the Department of Defense to privatize 
or outsource non-essential military services such functions as 
civilian payroll and payroll-and-accounting for nonappropriated 
instrumentality functions. However, the conferees recommend the 
Department also look to franchising for these and other similar 
services from other Federal agencies that already provide 
similar, cost effective services. In this regard, the conferees 
urge the Department to proceed with the recommendation made in 
the statement of the managers accompanying the fiscal year 1995 
Defense Appropriations Act to initiate a prototype for using 
the National Finance Center cross servicing functions, in 
conjunction with existing DFAS and private operations in the 
area, for some financial management and personnel services at 
DOD as recommended by Military Department Comptrollers in 
January, 1994.
                  reserve component automation system
      The Army has spent eighteen years and close to a billion 
dollars without successfully providing modern computer 
technology to its Reserve Component. For the first time in the 
RCAS program's history, there now appears to be general 
consensus between the active Army, the National Guard, the Army 
Reserve, the Office of the Secretary of Defense, and the 
Congress on its future direction based on the restructure 
proposed by the Chief of the National Guard Bureau. Given this 
apparent consensus, there is no longer the need for legislation 
to accomplish the goals set out by the Congress for this 
program. The conferees therefore do not agree to retain bill 
language as proposed by the House. This action should not be 
construed as a diminution of Congressional support for RCAS, a 
Congressional authorization to change the program 
responsibilities of the Chief of the National Guard Bureau, or 
an invitation to the Army to change the program architecture to 
parallel or merge with active Army computer modernization 
programs. The funding provided in this Act is available solely 
to implement the restructured RCAS program as proposed by the 
Chief of the National Guard Bureau, endorsed by the Office of 
the Secretary of Defense in a formal Major Automated 
Information Systems Review Council, and recently presented to 
the Congress. All RCAS funds are hereby designated to be of 
special Congressional interest, any other use of which would 
require approval by the Congress through the formal 
reprogramming process; this would include the use of RCAS funds 
to modernize active Army systems or to finance codevelopment of 
new systems. The conferees agree to the certification 
requirements by the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Reserve 
Affairs in the House report.
      For many years, the Congress has denied the use of 
government furnished equipment and software in the RCAS system 
primarily because the Army would not identify it in advance to 
the Congress. The Chief of the National Guard Bureau has 
proposed the limited use of government furnished software in 
the restructured program. The Army has touted for many years 
the large amount of government furnished software that 
potentially could be used in RCAS. However, of the 16 existing 
Army information systems that will be examined for reuse in 
RCAS during fiscal year 1996, the Guard Bureau indicates that 
not even one is likely to have more than 14 percent of the 
software available for reuse. Many of these are also very old 
systems. The conferees wish to assure that software reuse is 
not done simply for its own sake or solely to satisfy the 
technical community. The conferees impose no restrictions on 
the use of government furnished software in the restructured 
program, but direct that the Program Executive Office for RCAS 
certify each time it tasks the RCAS contractor to use a 
significant amount of government furnished software that such 
action is the most cost-effective approach.
      Finally, for many years the Congress had a very tight 
restriction in law prohibiting the purchase of interim 
equipment outside of the RCAS program. The Reserve Components 
have recently disclosed that there are 12,000 modern computers 
which are available for the restructured program. The conferees 
direct the Inspector General of the Defense Department to 
conduct an investigation on how the Reserve Component was able 
to obtain such a large number of computers, whether any of 
these acquisitions violated law, and/or if anti-deficiency 
violations occurred.

                university and industry research centers
      The conferees have provided $49,779,000. Included in this 
amount is $22,847,000 for the Army's new federated labs 
program. The conferees direct that these funds may only be used 
to initiate the three federated lab programs which the Army 
determines are most important to its needs.
      The conferees are concerned that the Army's plan to enter 
into long term agreements could limit its ability to respond to 
new ideas and changes in the defense industry. Therefore, the 
conferees direct that the Army shall not enter into any 
federated lab agreement or contract which provides for the non-
competitive continuation of a federated lab for more than five 
years. The conferees further direct that the Assistant 
Secretary of the Army for Research, Development and Acquisition 
provide a report identifying the three fiscal year 1996 
federated labs, the participants, the allocation of funds, the 
management structure, and the planned research program by March 
1, 1996 to the congressional defense committees.
                             ew development
      The conferees understand that funds are included in the 
budget request for the development of an electronic protection 
system and encourage the Army to obligate up to $10,300,000 in 
fiscal year 1996 for the SHORTSTOP project.
                      medical advanced technology
      The conferees agree to provide $75,000,000 for the Army's 
peer reviewed breast cancer research program. The conferees 
expect the Army to provide special emphasis to research that 
addresses the specific needs of military beneficiaries.
             air defense command, control and intelligence
      The conferees provided $2,000,000 in fiscal year 1995 for 
the evaluation of the Air Defense Alerting Device (ADAD). The 
conferees direct the Department of Defense to release the 
fiscal year 1995 funds appropriated for ADAD and proceed with 
testing.
                         task force xxi soldier
      The conferees agree to provide $30,000,000 for a new 
project, Task Force XXI Soldier, to accelerate the development 
of integrated, modular equipment designed for the individual 
soldier. The Army's strategy to develop and field the interim 
Land Warrior system and then immediately begin production of 
the objective GEN II Soldier system appears to be an 
inefficient allocation of resources. The conferees believe that 
accelerating the GEN II soldier program will eliminate the need 
for an interim system allowing the Army to field a more capable 
system at an earlier date. Therefore, the conferees have 
consolidated funds from the existing programs to accelerate the 
GEN II Soldier program and provided additional funds to 
continue only the Land Warrior efforts necessary to support the 
objective program. The conferees direct the Assistant Secretary 
of the Army for Research, Development and Acquisition to 
provide a report defining a revised acquisition strategy to the 
congressional defense committees by March 1, 1996.
                      airborne reconnaissance low
      The conferees understand that upgrading the Airborne 
Reconnaissance Low (ARL) aircraft with the RAH-66 Comanche 
engine will significantly enhance operational capabilities and 
reduce support costs. Although no funds were requested in the 
fiscal year 1996 budget, the conferees encourage the Army to 
pursue upgrading the ARL engine in fiscal year 1997.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                           ship self-defense
      The conferees do not agree to the House bill language on 
ship self-defense programs, as there is now agreement between 
the Congress and the Defense Department on the direction of the 
affected programs. This action should not be construed as a 
diminution of Congressional support for achieving robust self-
defense capabilities on Navy ships, particularly on the LPD-17 
class, as soon as possible.
                        surface ship technology
      The conferees believe recent efforts to develop state-of-
the-art curved plate technology for constructing large double 
hull tankers hold promise to significantly reduce construction 
costs and provide an improved level of safety and performance 
for navy tanker vessels. The conference agreement includes 
$15,000,000 only to complete the development, design, 
construction and testing of full scale prototype equipment 
essential to evaluating and deploying this technology. Funds 
are to be used for detailed design and construction of full 
scale prototype equipment for curved plate panel forming, 
coating, subassembly and final welding.
                oceanographic and atmospheric technology
      The conferees agree to provide $10,000,000 for 
oceanographic research as recommended by the House. These funds 
are available only for collaborative research for the continued 
development, integration and application of cost-effective 
underwater multisensing systems (physical, chemical, optical, 
and acoustic) and unmanned underwater vehicles for continental 
shelf oceanographic measurements for mine countermeasures and 
other oceanographic applications, both fundamental and applied. 
These funds are to continue the project explained in House 
report 103-254, whose focus is on in-situ oceanographic 
sensors, fusion of multiple sensors, reconfigurability, 
interoperability to achieve low cost, reduced size and flexible 
payload/platform systems, adaptive capabilities for extended 
deployments, and navigation by self-convergent approaches using 
onboard sensors and intelligent control.
                    joint advanced strike technology
      Due to a recent restructure of the JAST program, there is 
now $131,000,000 in the fiscal year 1996 budget that is for 
work to be accomplished in fiscal year 1997. Such work should 
be budgeted in that year. The conferees agree to this reduction 
in the Navy and Air Force accounts, and direct that the Office 
of the Secretary of Defense ensure that the fiscal year 1997 
budget to Congress includes a restoration of these funds.
                            f/a-18 squadrons
      The conferees agree to provide an additional $4,500,000 
only for BOL chaff as recommended by the House. These funds are 
only to complete certification of the BOL chaff system on the 
F/A-18C/D series aircraft.
                             e-2 squadrons
      The conferees have provided an increase of $10,000,000 
only to support evaluation of technologies for an E-2 radar 
modernization program (RMP). The conferees support an expansion 
of current development and test efforts at a site which permits 
elevated testing of an ADS-18S antenna and is involved with 
evaluation of space time adaptive processing (STAP) algorithms. 
Based on analysis and testing completed to date, the Navy has 
concluded that upgrades to the E-2 can provide substantial 
warfighting improvements in a littoral environment. The 
conferees direct that the additional funds shall only be 
available for radar development work, antenna testing and site 
enhancements in conjunction with ongoing efforts.
                  lcac service life extension program
      The conferees agree to provide $37,000,000 as recommended 
by the House for advanced planning and engineering of a Landing 
Craft Air Cushion (LCAC) service life extension program. The 
program will include component improvements and structural 
modifications to reduce maintenance costs, meet increased lift 
requirements, and restore growth margins. Modifications will be 
incorporated into the last craft during production and into 
existing fleet craft beginning in fiscal year 1996 as an 
expansion of the current corrosion control effort.
              intercooled recuperative gas turbine engine
      The conferees agree to provide $41,008,000 for the 
continued development of the Intercooled Recuperative (ICR) gas 
turbine engine. This includes the amount requested in the 
budget and additional funds for the recuperator recovery plan 
and the U.S. test site.
                        navy range support ship
      In the process of restructuring its fleet of 
oceanographic research vessels, the Navy recently decided that 
the Kaimalino would not be part of the future Navy 
oceanographic fleet. The conferees are aware of a plan for the 
Pacific Missile Range Facility (PMRF) to acquire the Kaimalino 
to support operational training needs as well as research and 
development programs, such as Navy Upper and Lower Tier 
Patriot, and THAAD. The conferees believe this would be an 
effective use of the Kaimalino. The conferees direct the Navy 
to review PMRF's request and to report to the Committees on 
Appropriations prior to taking any other action on the ship. 
The conferees further direct that the reuse of the Kaimalino 
shall have no effect on other ships in the Navy's oceanographic 
fleet.

upgrade program, an increase of $28,600,000 to the budget 
request. The additional funding includes an increase of 
$7,000,000 for B-1B JDAM integration, an increase of $6,600,000 
for ECM risk reduction activities, and $15,000,000 for efforts 
to equip the bomber with precision guided munitions, including 
the B-1B virtual umbilical demonstration (BVUD). The conferees 
agree that none of the funding used for BVUD may be obligated 
until the Commander of the Air Combat Command and the Air Force 
Director of Operational Requirements certify to the 
appropriations committees that (a) a documented requirement for 
BVUD exists; and (b) that BVUD will be incorporated as part of 
the B-1B conventional upgrade program.
      The conferees also direct that the Commander of the Air 
Force Operational Test and Evaluation Center provide a report 
no later than March 15, 1996 on the test and evaluation plan 
for BVUD and other precision guided munitions demonstrations. 
Finally the conferees direct the Department of the Air Force to 
consider other available alternatives to providing precision 
guided capability for the Mk-82 munition with the additional 
funding provided.
                                  c-17
      The conferees agree to provide $73,803,000 for continued 
development of the C-17 advanced transport aircraft, a decrease 
of $11,950,000 to the budget request. The conferees direct that 
these funds be allocated as follows: flight test support, 
$17,850,000; T-1 refurbishment, $11,700,000; aircraft 
structural integrity, $11,000,000; mission support, 
$10,900,000; aircraft armor, $5,000,000; flight test hours, 
$4,000,000; automatic communications processor; $4,000,000; 
station-keeping equipment, $1,300,000; passenger oxygen mask 
improvements, $1,000,000; enhanced aeromedical litters, 
$1,000,000; cargo compartment heating, $600,000; troop seats, 
$553,000; GPS integrity monitoring, $500,000; airlift defensive 
system survivability study, $400,000; signature reduction 
study, $400,000.
      The conferees agree with Senate's direction regarding 
crew armor.
                sensor fuzed weapon product improvement
      The House and Senate both included $10,000,000 in their 
respective bills to begin a product improvement program for the 
Sensor Fuzed Weapon (SFW). The conferees direct the Air Force 
to program those funds required in the outyears to complete 
development of these improvements. Currently programmed SFW 
production funds shall not be used as a source for the required 
development funds. The conferees strongly urge the Air Force to 
begin this development as soon as possible and to examine ways 
to streamline and shorten the effort.
      The conferees also agree with the Senate requirement for 
a reevaluation, to be submitted no later than May 1, 1996, of 
total inventory needs for smart munitions.
             joint surveillance/target attack radar system
      The conferees agree with the Senate position regarding 
funds for both the Air Force and the Army to continue 
development and procurement of the Joint Surveillance/Target 
Attack Radar system, with the exception of restoring $6,100,000 
of the Senate recommended reduction to the Air Forces 
procurement request. The conferees direct that the restored 
funds are available only to pay over and above expenses for 
repair actions during aircraft refurbishment. The reduction 
recommended by the conferees shall only be assessed against the 
funds originally identified in budget justification materials 
as allocated for engineering change orders.
      In addition, the conferees direct that $12,000,000 in 
fiscal year 1995 research, development, test and evaluation 
funds allocated to an unadjudicated Request for Equitable 
Adjustment is only available to support fiscal year 1996 
development requirements.
      The conferees further agree with the Senate requirements 
regarding the NATO Alliance Ground Surveillance (AGS) program.
                             b-52 squadrons
      The conferees agree to provide $21,005,000 for B-52 
development, an increase of $4,500,000 to the budget request. 
The additional funding is only for integration of the AGM-130 
munition onto B-52 bombers. The conferees direct that not more 
than $1,000,000 may be obligated until the Secretary of the Air 
Force certifies that there is a validated operational 
requirement for the weapon and reports to the Committees on 
Appropriations about the annual and total costs, schedule, 
technical risks, and operational considerations of such 
integration.
                 joint-air-to-surface standoff missile
      The conferees agree to provide $25,000,000 to initiate 
the Joint-Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile (JASSM) program. The 
conferees agree to the Senate requirements regarding a report 
and a cost and operational effectiveness analysis. However, the 
Senate proposed obligation restrictions are not required. The 
required report is due no later than June 1, 1996.
                      threat simulator development
      The conferees direct that none of the funds available for 
the Real-Time Electromagnetic Digitally Controlled Analyzer and 
Processor (REDCAP) may be used to fund any activities which 
would produce permanent improvements which could not be 
relocated in accordance with the Base Realignment and Closure 
(BRAC) decision to move this facility.

      historically black colleges and other minority institutions
      The Department is encouraged to continue its support of 
minority institutions, including Hispanic serving institutions, 
through academic collaborations for research and education 
related to science and technology, relevant to the Department's 
mission.
            computing systems and communications technology
      The conferees agree to provide $8,000,000 for a Global 
Broadcast Service (GBS) as recommended by the House. The 
conferees also agree to the House language directing that the 
GBS initiative is to be managed by the Under Secretary of 
Defense for Acquisition and Technology (USD (A&T)). The 
conferees do not agree to the House language directing that the 
$8,000,000 is to be released to the Navy for a near-term GBS 
pilot program. Instead, the conferees believe that the GBS 
program must address the needs of all of the services and 
direct the USD (A&T) to compete the acquisition of both the 
near-term and objective GBS. After the competition is 
completed, the Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller) is to 
certify to the defense committees that $8,000,000 has been 
released to the service chosen as executive agent to conduct 
the near-term GBS pilot program. The conferees do agree to the 
House language directing the USD (A&T) to provide to the 
defense committees a long-term master architecture. 
Additionally, the conferees direct that the USD (A&T) provide a 
comparison of cost, schedule, technical risk and operational 
considerations for several potential GBS host spacecraft 
including UFO follow-on, Milstar, DSCS, classified, and 
commercial satellites with the master architecture.
                     advanced electronic technology
      The conferees agree with the House report concerning the 
ECRC program and also direct the Department to enter into a 
five-year contract with each of the two system integrators, the 
National ECRC and CAMP, who will continue to manage their 
respective sites.
      The conferees commend ARPA for recent advancements in 
low-cost dense plasma focus x-ray source technology and 0.18 
micron synchrotron-based x-ray technology. The conferees urge 
ARPA to continue efforts in the point source area and direct 
the Agency to allocate $11,000,000 to fund an integrated point 
source x-ray lithography system based on these latest x-ray 
source and stepper developments. This research should target 
defense related applications such as the production of 
Microwave Monolithic Integrated Circuit (MMIC) chips for 
military uses, including missile seekers, digital battlefield 
systems and F-22 radar modules.
                     electronic combat master plan
      The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to develop 
and provide to the congressional defense committees, no later 
than March 31, 1996, an Electronic Combat Master Plan to 
establish an optimum infrastructure for electronic combat 
assets.
                    strategic target system (stars)
      The conferees agree to provide $10,000,000, the budget 
amount, only to continue planning, preparation and actual 
conduct of STARS flight tests. The conferees direct that BMDO 
take no actions to terminate or place the STARS program in a 
caretaker status.
                naval theater ballistic missile defense
      The conferees believe that the Navy's area wide (Lower 
Tier) and theater wide (Upper Tier) programs should be deployed 
as rapidly as possible. The Navy's current plan to build on 
existing ship platforms, the Aegis system, proven launch 
systems, and the operational Standard missile family has 
resulted in a cost effective, technically capable and 
manageable program that is planned to produce a user 
operational capability (UOES) Upper Tier system not later than 
FY 1999 with an initial operational capability (IOC) by 2001. 
The conferees are committed to a rapid and actual deployment of 
an effective sea-based missile defense system. The conferees 
direct the Department to place highest priority on proceeding 
with a development program that achieves deployment of the Navy 
Upper Tier system by the planned 2001 IOC. The conferees 
endorse the Navy Theater Wide system as a core TMD program and 
endorse fully funding the core program in the 5-year defense 
plan. The conferees direct that not less than $200,442,000 
shall be spent on Navy Upper Tier and not less than 
$282,473,000 on Navy Lower Tier for research and development 
activities. Funding allocations through BMDO to the Navy for 
these programs should proceed expeditiously.
                      tier ii unmanned air vehicle
      The conferees agree to provide $45,250,000 for the Tier 
II (Predator) unmanned air vehicle program, an increase of 
$25,300,000 to the budget request. The conferees also agree 
that the additional funding provided shall only be used for 
attrition replacement air vehicles and shall not be used to 
marinize the Predator air vehicle.
                        rivet joint re-engining
      The conferees have provided $79,000,000 solely for the 
purpose of initiation of re-engining the Rivet Joint fleet. The 
conferees direct that future funding for this project be 
included in budget submissions for fiscal year 1997 and beyond, 
thus ensuring completion of this project in an expeditious and 
cost effective manner.
                        USH-42 Mission Recorder
      The conferees agree that from funding provided in fiscal 
year 1996 for the Defense AirBorne Reconnaissance Program, 
$10,000,000 may be used for the planned product improvement 
that will result in a low cost, lightweight, high capacity, 
digital version of the Navy's USH-42 recorder/reproducer 
suitable for a wide range of applications in reconnaissance and 
surveillance platforms.

      The conferees have provided an increase of $100,000,000 
only for breast cancer. The conferees have provided $75,000,000 
to continue the Army's peer-reviewed research program. In 
addition, the conferees have provided $25,000,000 to the 
Department for: increased recruitment, training and education 
for military cancer specialists; diagnostic equipment and 
improved detection technologies, such as digital mammography; 
and prevention and education efforts for the military 
community.
                         tricare implementation
      The conferees commend the significant progress of the 
Department of Defense in moving toward a nation-wide managed 
health care system for the military, known as TRICARE. Existing 
law mandates that the TRICARE system be implemented by 
September 30, 1996, and the Department has attempted to meet 
this deadline. Unfortunately, complications with the issuance 
and implementation of these large, complex, competitively bid 
contracts, have caused significant problems and associated 
delays. The conferees are concerned that the Department has 
accelerated the process in order to meet this statutory 
deadline. The conferees understand the Department is fully 
committed to the full implementation of TRICARE, as well as a 
standard health benefit for all military beneficiaries, but 
believe that the Department, the offerors, and the 
beneficiaries would greatly benefit from additional time in 
meeting the complex requirements of TRICARE. Therefore, the 
conferees agree to extend the deadline for implementation of 
the TRICARE managed care system by one year.
          uniformed services university of the health sciences
      The conferees remain committed to the continuation of the 
Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USUHS) at 
its current level and direct that, within funds made available 
to the Defense Health program, the amount provided for USUHS 
shall fully fund the programs and functions of the University 
at existing levels.
