JOINT EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF THE COMMITTEE OF CONFERENCE The managers on the part of the House and the Senate at the further 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 ``O-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. TITLE I--MILITARY PERSONNEL The conferees agree to the following amounts and end strength totals for the Military Personnel accounts as follows: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Budget House Senate Conference ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Active personnel: Army........................................ 19,721,408 19,884,608 19,776,587 19,946,187 Navy........................................ 16,930,609 17,006,363 16,979,209 17,008,563 Marine Corps................................ 5,877,740 5,928,340 5,886,540 5,885,740 Air Force................................... 17,108,120 17,294,620 17,156,443 17,207,743 Reserve personnel: Army........................................ 2,101,366 2,122,566 2,102,466 2,122,466 Navy........................................ 1,348,223 1,350,023 1,349,323 1,355,523 Marine Corps................................ 361,751 366,101 364,551 378,151 Air Force................................... 782,761 783,586 783,861 784,586 National Guard personnel: Army........................................ 3,218,258 3,240,858 3,222,422 3,242,422 Air Force................................... 1,246,427 1,254,827 1,259,627 1,259,627 --------------------------------------------------------------- Total, Military Personnel................. 68,696,663 69,231,892 68,881,029 69,191,008 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. army personnel shortfalls The conferees recommend an increase of $137,000,000 to ``Military Personnel, Army'' to cover unfunded requirements associated with the downsizing of Army forces. Previous congressional limitations on end strength and other Army manpower assumptions have contributed to an increase in the cost of the force since anticipated personnel losses did not occur as planned. The conferees agree this is necessary in order to prevent readiness and quality of life problems during the fiscal year. 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.

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.

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.

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; procedural 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Total Barracks Other RPM additional renovation RPM ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Army............................. 100,000 67,000 167,000 Navy............................. 100,000 55,000 155,000 Air Force........................ 100,000 51,000 151,000 Marine Corps..................... 22,000 38,000 60,000 Army National Guard.............. ........... 100,000 100,000 Army Reserve..................... ........... 17,000 17,000 Navy Reserve..................... ........... 20,000 20,000 Marine Corps Reserve............. ........... 1,500 1,500 Air National Guard............... ........... 15,000 15,000 Air Force Reserve................ ........... 13,500 13,500 -------------------------------------- Total...................... 322,000 378,000 700,000 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ security programs The conferees agree to reduce the military departments' 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 measures 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.

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 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.

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.

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, theDepartment 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: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Program Budget House Senate Conference ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nuclear Arms Reduction........... 167.5 167.5 167.5 167.5 Defense Enterprise Fund.......... 40 0 0 0 Chemical Weapons Destruction..... 104 0 104 79 Fissile Material................. 29 6 29 29 Other........................ 30.5 26.5 24.5 24.5 -------------------------------------- Total...................... 371 200 325 300 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Although no new funds are provided for the Defense Enterprise Fund, the conferees agree that up to $2,000,000 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.

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.

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.

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.

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. hf link 11 data terminals The conferees agree to the Senate language directing the evaluation and selection of the AN/USQ-125 and the AN/USQ-120V radio communication link. However, the conferees direct that the selection of the objective system is to be no later than 30 days after the enactment of this Act.

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 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 TacticalInformation 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.

The increase is provided only for those items identified by the Air Force as shortfalls. air combat measurement instrumentation system In fiscal year 1995, Congress authorized $25,000,000 to upgrade the only Air National Guard Combat Readiness Training Center(CRTC) which lacks a modernized Air Combat Measurement Instrumentation System. That CRTC has access to unencumbered air space, a pilot training resource which is increasingly scarce. The conferees note that following the submission of the fiscal year 1996 request, the Air Force developed a less costly plan to provide the needed instrumentation capability for $12,200,000. The conferees encourage the Defense Department to seek ways, including reprogramming, to promptly fund this plan within existing funds.

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.

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 C\3\I 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 ofnew 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.

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 GENII 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.

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 andAir 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.

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 theNavy 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 electronics technologies 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 $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.
