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

articles or services (other than intelligence services) for use
in the activities described in subsection (b) unless the
congressional defense committees, and the Committee on
International Relations of the House of Representatives and the
Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate are notified 15
days in advance of such transfer.

(A) any international peacekeeping or peace-
enforcement operation under the authority of chapter VI
or chapter VII of the United Nations Charter under the
authority of a United Nations Security Council
resolution; and
(B) any other international peacekeeping peace-
enforcement, humanitarian, or disaster relief
operation.
(c) Required Notice.--A notice under subsection (a) shall
include the following:
(1) A description of the equipment, supplies, or
services to be transferred.
(2) A statement of the value of the equipment,

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

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
subactivity group categories:
O&M, Army
Operating forces: Combat units; Tactical support; Force
related training/special activities; Depot maintenance.
O&M, Navy
Operating forces: Mission and other flight operations;
Aircraft depot maintenance; Mission and other ship operations;
Ship depot maintenance.
O&M, Marine Corps
Operating forces: Operational forces
O&M, Air Force
Operating forces: Primary combat forces; Primary combat
weapons; Air operations training. Mobilization: Airlift
operations.
financial management
The conferees are concerned about the state of financial
management in the Department of Defense and the measures that
may be taken to improve upon past performance. Both the House
and Senate reports on the fiscal year 1996 Department of
Defense Appropriations Bill recommended several items for the
Department's consideration. These items should be merged into a
single report due to the Committees on Appropriations not later
than May 31, 1996. The DoD report should address the following
issues:
the state of Defense Finance and Accounting Service
(DFAS) consolidation and future reorganization plans.
Of specific interest are DoD plans concerning
establishment of 20 DFAS operating locations;
opportunities for utilizing private sector
financial services to meet non-unique departmental
requirements such as travel processing, payroll and
contract disbursements;
procedureal changes designed to improve DoD
performance in the areas of unmatched disbursements and
negative unliquidated obligations;
the estimated resource requirements to achieve long
term improvements of DoD financial management
procedures and systems.
Real Property Maintenance
The conferees agree with the Senate in providing an
additional $322,000,000 for barracks renovation. The conferees
have 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:

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.

$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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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