CLASSIFIED PROGRAM ADJUSTMENTS
The Committee recommends adjustments to certain classified programs,
as explained in the classified annex to the Committee's report.
COMPLIANCE WITH 302( B ) ALLOCATION
The Appropriations Committee conformed fully to the budget resolution
for defense spending in its 302(b) allocation. This allocation divided
the budget authority and outlays among the subcommittees with
jurisdiction over discretionary spending. The Defense Subcommittee has
the greatest share of defense spending. In this recommended bill, the
Appropriations Committee has remained within the tight constraints of
its 302(b) allocation for defense.

Pay raise .--The President's fiscal year 2000 budget requests a
4.4-percent military pay raise. The Committee supports a more robust
military pay increase, and recommends a 4.8-percent pay raise for
military personnel, the largest increase in basic military pay in nearly
a generation. This enhanced pay raise will keep military compensation
attractive, help ensure that military pay is competitive with private
sector wages, and enable the services to continue to attract and retain
a highly qualified volunteer force. This pay raise is effective January
1, 2000.
Pay table reform .--The Committee supports pay table reform using
targeted pay raises to reward performance and promotion over longevity.
Pay table reform will result in a second pay raise during fiscal year
2000, up to an additional 5.5-percent, for individuals in critical
grades. Pay table reform and the associated pay raise is effective July
1, 2000.
Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps (JROTC) .--The Committee
recognizes the value and importance of the Junior ROTC program for our
nation's high school students. The Committee endorses the JROTC mission
statement: ``. . . to instill in students in United States secondary
educational institutions the value of citizenship, service to the United
States, personal responsibility, and a sense of accomplishment.''
Although the Congress has authorized up to 3,500 JROTC units, the
Department has established and funded approximately 2,600 units. The
Committee directs the Department to increase funding for the JROTC
program to the fully authorized level. To achieve this goal in fiscal
year 2000, the Committee has provided $6,900,000 in the Service reserve
personnel appropriations, and $20,250,000 in the Service active
operation and maintenance appropriations.
Further, the Committee directs the Department to provide a
comprehensive report by March 1, 2000, on the status of the JROTC
program, including a plan to increase the program to 3,500 units.

Operation and Maintenance Overview
Operation and maintenance appropriations provide the resources
required by the U.S. Armed Forces, and supporting defense agencies, to
prepare for and conduct combat operations, and other peace time
missions. These funds are used to purchase fuel and spare parts for
training operations, pay supporting civilian personnel, and purchase
supplies, equipment, and service contracts for the repair of weapons and
facilities.
Combating Terrorism
Within the operation and maintenance appropriations, the Committee
has provided significant resources for the antiterrorism activities of
the Department. The Committee supports the unified management and focus
of these funds, as described in Senate Report 106 50, the National
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2000. The Committee expects
the Secretary of Defense to report to the congressional defense
committees describing the use of the following amounts to achieve
combating terrorism objectives. The following funding is available in
fiscal year 2000:
Army $497,800,000
Navy 284,100,000
Marine Corps 11,900,000
Air Force 151,500,000
Defense-wide 317,400,000
Army Reserve 22,400,000
Navy Reserve 5,300,000
Air Force Reserve 21,600,000
Army National Guard 41,300,000
Air National Guard 100,000
DOD Inspector General 500,000
1,353,900,000
RAID TEAMS
The Committee supports the establishment of 17 Rapid Assessment and
Initial Detection (RAID) teams pursuant to the action provided in the
Senate defense authorization bill. Accordingly, the Committee provided
funding for an additional 198 Army National Guard and 66 Air National
Guard full-time (AGR) personnel to facilitate this mission. Operation
and maintenance funding of $79,635,000 for RAID teams is provided within
the amounts described for combating terrorism above.
Quality of Life Enhancements, Defense
The Committee recognizes that the readiness of the all volunteer
force derives not only from realistic combat training and serviceable
equipment and weapons, but also from the quality of life which military
personnel enjoy from livable quarters and related facilities. To improve
the living conditions of service men and women, the Committee
traditionally provided funding in either the barracks renovation
initiative, or more recently, in the Quality of Life Enhancements,
Defense account. For fiscal year 2000, the Department of Defense has
followed Committee practice and requested Quality of Life Enhancements,
Defense funds. The Department has, however, in an effort to circumvent
the discretionary budget outlay limits established in the Budget
Enforcement Act, expanded the scope and purpose of this account. Rather
than providing Quality of Life Enhancement funds for unspecified real
property maintenance projects, the Committee has appropriated and added
funds in the appropriate service accounts.
Unutilized Plant Capacity
The Committee remains concerned with the costs of industrial
preparedness, and the overhead rates at Department of Defense arsenals.
The budget justification materials of the Department of Defense
submitted to Congress for each fiscal year after fiscal year 2000 shall
within the OP 32 exhibit include a descriptive budget line which
describes the funding for unutilized plant capacity.
A 76 Studies
The Committee is aware of the Department of Defense's intention to
compete the jobs of federal employees under OMB Circular A 76. The
Committee is concerned that projected savings through A 76 planned
competitions do not match actual savings. The Committee directs the
Secretary of Defense to submit a report to the Senate and House
Appropriations Subcommittees on Defense within 60 days of enactment on
the use of OMB A 76 by the Department to contract in work. The report
shall list the instances since 1995, when work performed by contractors
has been converted to performance by civilian employees of the
Department. For each instance of contracting in, the report shall
include the types of work, the locations where the work was performed,
the name of the contractor that was performing the work, the cost of
contractor performance at the time the work was contracted in, and the
current cost of performance by civilian employees of the Department. The
report shall include a discussion of legal, regulatory, or budgetary
obstacles to the appropriate use of contracting in to make the
operations of the Department more efficient. The report shall also
include recommendations for maximizing the possibility of effective
public-private competition for work that has been contracted out.
Not later than 90 days after the date on which the Secretary submits
the annual report, the Comptroller General shall submit to the Senate
and House Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense the Comptroller
General's views on whether the Department has complied with the
requirements for the report.
Pentagon Renovation Transfer Fund
The Committee has consolidated the funding for the Pentagon's ongoing
renovation from the service and defense wide operation and maintenance
accounts into a separate appropriation in Title II. The Committee
directs the Department to utilize this fund for future budget request
submissions to the Congress, with a delineation of contributions by
department and organization.

COMMITTEE ADJUSTMENTS
Program reductions .--The Committee supports the Army efforts to
adapt force structure, doctrine and technology to better meet future
security threats. The Committee has provided funding for the Joint
Contingency Force experiment, the Aim XXI program, and assorted
communications upgrades. The Committee recommends several adjustments to
programs with unjustified program growth such as post production
software support, headquarters increases, service-wide communications,
the AWE and administration. Funding for the Pentagon renovation has been
transferred to the Pentagon renovation transfer fund.
Real Property Maintenance .--Despite the determined efforts of the
Committee to fund the training operations which the Army conducts to
achieve measurable readiness standards, the service has repeatedly
failed to execute the plans presented to, and approved by Congress. The
Army explains this migration of training resources to other activities
as ``fact-of-life'' adjustments required to balance funding levels
across the Operation and Maintenance appropriation. To protect the
training subactivity groups associated with operational readiness, the
Committee has supported fully and added $97,000,000 to the Army's real
property maintenance and base operations plan. The Committee directs
that real property maintenance funds recommended in the bill shall
provide the following program in fiscal year 2000:

USACE 4,390,000
Undistributed 132,000,000
1,516,228,000
Air Battle Captain .--The Committee has included $1,250,000 for the
Air Battle Captain helicopter flight training program. Of this amount,
$250,000 shall be directed to a national recruitment campaign
specifically targeted to the program. The Army is directed to provide a
detailed recruitment plan to the Committee for its review within sixty
days of enactment of this Act. The Committee intends that the balance of
this funding shall be expended on activities directly associated with
flight training prescribed by the Air Battle Captain program curriculum
for helicopter training. In addition, the Committee directs the Army to
execute its pending agreement for continuation of the program.
Ravenna Army Ammunition Plant .--The Committee understands that the
Army has responsibility for the environmental cleanup of approximately
9,000 acres of the Ravenna Army Ammunition Plant. The Committee urges
the Army to develop a comprehensive plan and an associated timeline for
the remediation of its portion of the facility.
Marion Engineering Depot .--The Committee urges the Corps of
Engineers to review the level of contaminants recently found at this
site and recommends that the Corps consider this facility a priority for
future funding.
Fort Des Moines Historic Memorial .--The Committee recommends an
increase of $2,000,000 for the repair and refurbishment of the grounds
and facilities of Fort Des Moines to support the establishment of the
historic OCS museum and memorial.
Joint Assessment Neurological Examination Equipment Upgrade for
combat medical specialist .--The Committee recommends an additional
$1,500,000 for the Army Medical Center and School to continue the joint
assessment neurological evaluation equipment upgrade for training and
sustainment proficiency of the combat medical specialist.
Range Safe Technology Demonstration .--The Committee urges the Army
to explore emerging technologies that treat low level radioactive waste
on site. Treatment on site would preclude hauling contaminated material
to approved and specifically designated landfills. The cost of tracking,
transport and storage of radioactive waste to these landfills is
extremely costly and adds considerable expense to the overall cost of
the remediation. These new technologies offer promise that they would
result in significant savings.
Fort Knox MOUT Facility .--The Committee supports the full funding
by the Army of the base operations support for the MOUT facility at Fort
Knox.
Firefighting Equipment Conveyance .--The Committee directs the
Secretary of the Army to consider conveying the firefighting equipment
at the Military Ocean Terminal, Bayonne (MOTBY) to the Bayonne Local
Redevelopment Authority and the City of Bayonne.
Automatic identification technologies .--The extensive logistics and
manufacturing capabilities within the Army can be substantially improved
through a relatively small investment in expanding the application of
automatic identification technologies. Available commercial
off-the-shelf systems will readily improve inventory management, asset
tracking and distribution, as well as enhance in-process overhaul and
production activities. The Committee recommends that Rock Island Arsenal
be included as a priority facility for the Department's Total Asset
Visibility Implementation Plan, which establishes the AIT road map for
tracking assets from production and overhaul through warehousing and
distribution, and other similar programs.

COMMITTEE ADJUSTMENTS
Program reductions .--The Committee is concerned with the growing
difficulties experienced by the Navy in sustaining non-deployed
readiness. Past shortfalls in non-deployed readiness, and recruiting
programs have now degraded the readiness of deploying units. The
Committee has recommended program increases for weapons maintenance,
real property maintenance, ship depot maintenance and repair, and the
Shipyard Apprentice program. Programs such as Air Systems Support and
Fleet Ballistic Missile programs were decreased due to consistent under
execution of funds. Funding for the Pentagon renovation has been
transferred to the Pentagon renovation transfer fund.
Barrow landfill .--Of the funds provided in this account, the
Committee directs the Department of the Navy to provide $3,000,000 for
costs associated with the closure of the Barrow landfill. The Department
of Defense sited, developed, and managed this landfill for 31 years,
with the Naval Arctic Research Laboratory located at Barrow as the
primary user of the facility. The Committee urges the Department of
Defense to continue to work with the North Slope Borough in closing the
landfill and determining continuing funding responsibilities. These
funds should be provided to the appropriate local government entity.
Shipyard Apprenticeship Program .--The Committee recommends an
increase of $12,000,000 for the Shipyard Apprenticeship Program at the
public shipyards. The downsizing over the past decade at our Navy
shipyards has increased the average age of the shipyard worker to nearly
45 years, and limited the ability of Navy managers to hire new
apprentices. The Committee believes this matter requires sustained
attention. Funds have been added to augment working capital funds and
other resources to ensure that this program is not forced to compete
with depot maintenance requirements. The Committee expects these funds
shall only be used to support apprentices, and that the funding provided
shall be in addition to any other resources requested in the budget for
work force revitalization. The Committee directs the Navy to report to
the Appropriations Committees by April 1, 2000, on the status of this
program, by shipyard.
Shipyard infrastructure repairs .--From within the funds provided
for the maintenance of real property, $9,900,000 may be used for the
repair of the Charleston Naval Shipyard, and $9,900,000 may be used for
the conversion of the former Philadelphia Naval Shipyard.
Propeller Maintenance and Overhaul .--The Committee directs the Navy
to establish a pilot program for the purpose of verifying cost savings
that can be achieved through the use of a west coast propeller overhaul
facility. The Committee further directs that the selected facility
provide innovative repair processes and comprehensive training programs
proven to enhance propeller system reliability and enhance mission
readiness at reduced costs. The selected facility should be an FAA
authorized repair station capable of servicing applicable models of the
propeller system used on the target fleet of Western Pacific based C 130
and P 3 aircraft.
The Committee further directs the Navy to provide the Committee with
a cost benefit analysis that includes reliability improvement data
resulting from this study of a west coast pilot facility.
Sale of Navy Drydock No. 9 (AFDM 3) .--The lease covering Navy
Drydock No. 9 (AFDM 3) shall be deemed to include all clauses authorized
by section 2667(b) of title 10, U.S. Code. The Secretary of the Navy is
directed to sell the drydock to the lessee at its fair market value, as
provided by that law, upon receipt of a written notice from the lessee
of its intent to exercise its option to purchase the leased property.
For purposes of this provision, the term ``fair market value'' means the
value of the drydock in its present condition less the estimated cost of
scrapping the vessel.
Public Service Initiative .--The United States must ensure close
cooperation and understanding between the military and civil components
of society. Fewer people, including leaders, perform military service
now than in our recent history. As a pilot program, the Navy should work
with the legislative branch center for public service to include
military service in its public service programs.

COMMITTEE ADJUSTMENTS
Program reductions .--The Committee observes that the budget request
for Marine Corps expeditionary forces readiness is below the levels
appropriated in fiscal year 1999. Past funding shortfalls in Navy and
Marine Corps non-deployed readiness activities have begun to degrade the
readiness of deploying units. To mitigate this funding shortfall, the
Committee has recommended program increases for initial issue, real
property maintenance, distance learning and Marine-option NROTC. Funding
for the Pentagon renovation has been transferred to the Pentagon
renovation transfer fund.

COMMITTEE ADJUSTMENTS
Program reductions .--The Committee supports the Air Force efforts
to adapt force structure to the Air Expeditionary Force concept, and
remedy spare parts shortfalls. Air Force operation and maintenance
programs are generally growing at a rate greater than inflation. The
budget request sought general funding increases to some programs that
had not realized planned savings in prior years. The Committee
recommends several adjustments to programs with unjustified program
growth such as service-wide communications, and contract costs. Other
programs such as Space Control Systems, Launch Vehicles, and Arms
Control have experienced under execution of funds. Funding for the
Pentagon renovation has been transferred to the Pentagon renovation
transfer fund.
B 52 attrition reserve aircraft .--Despite the clear direction of
the Committee, which was provided in Senate Report 105 200, the Air
Force has decided to reduce the total aircraft inventory of B 52s during
fiscal year 2000. The Committee has provided sufficient operation and
maintenance funding to support a force structure of 94 aircraft. No
later than June 1, 2000, the Secretary of the Air Force shall report to
the Committee any intention or proposal to reduce the B 52s from the
level directed. Additionally, the Committee directs the Air Force to
treat all 94 B 52s now in the force structure as aircraft to be retained
for the six year period beginning October 1, 1999.
Myrtle Beach Air Force Base .--The Committee urges the Air Force to
initiate environmental restoration at this site to correct long-standing
environmental concerns.
Radioactive iodine experimentation .--The Committee strongly
supports the progress that the Air Force has made in resolving the claim
filed on behalf of the Inupiat Eskimos who were subjected to radioactive
iodine 131 experimentation by the Air Force in the mid-1950's. The
Committee directs the Secretary of the Air Force to report to the
congressional defense committees on the resolution of this matter no
later than October 15, 1999.
Air Force Plant No. 3 .--The Committee encourages the Secretary of
the Air Force to transfer by deed to the City of Tulsa, Oklahoma, all of
the property known as Air Force Plant No. 3. The Committee strongly
urges the Air Force to work cooperatively with the City of Tulsa to
mitigate the remaining environmental contamination on this property as
expeditiously as possible. The Committee directs the Secretary of the
Air Force to report on the status of the title transfer no later than
December 15, 1999.
Global Combat Support System-Air Force (GCSS AF) .--The Committee is
pleased with the Air Force's progress on the modernization and
integration of critical combat support systems under the Global Combat
Support System-Air Force (GCSS AF) contract. This activity is important
to future combat readiness and is a major step toward interoperability
between the combat support systems of all services. The key to the
success of this effort is the underlying foundation of system
architecture and integration. The many benefits to be gained from
continued modernization and integration work under the GCSS AF contract
are clear, particularly in terms of reduced long-term maintenance costs
for outdated legacy systems.
Tinker and Altus Air Force Base repairs .--The Committee recommends
an increase of $25,000,000 to real property maintenance to provide for
the repair of damages resulting from tornadoes in May of 1999. The Air
Force shall fund fully all military personnel and flying hour costs
related to the restoration of these bases.
Air Force Technical Applications Center .--Preventing the
proliferation of nuclear weapons is one of the most important issues
facing the U.S. today. Multiple nuclear tests detonated by India and
Pakistan emphasize the need for a continued strong nuclear monitoring
capability. The Committee has funded fully the budget request for Air
Force Technical Applications Center's (AFTAC) and strongly encourages
AFTAC to make meeting its operational nuclear test monitoring
responsibilities a first priority within these available funds.

COMMITTEE ADJUSTMENTS
Defense Threat Reduction and Treaty Compliance Agency .--The
Committee has reduced funding by $15,500,000 as a result of anticipated
delays in treaty implementation and scheduled inspections. If additional
funding is required to meet emergent requirements stemming from valid
treaty obligations, the Committee expects the Department of Defense to
submit a reprogramming request subject to normal, prior approval
reprogramming procedures.
Procurement Technical Assistance Program [PTAP] .--The Committee
commends the Department for fully funding the Procurement Technical
Assistance Program and subsequently provides full funding for this
worthwhile initiative. PTAP shall continue to be designated a special
interest program, with written approval by the Appropriations Committees
required prior to any below-threshold reprogramming from this line.
Pine Bluff Arsenal Sustainment Training and Technical Assistance
Program .--The Committee directs the Department of Defense to establish
a Sustainment Training and Technical Assistance Program at Pine Bluff
Arsenal, AR for chemical and biological defense equipment in support of
the Department of Justice equipment grant program.
Special Education Support .--The Committee recommends an increase of
$5,000,000 above the budget request to increase assistance to those
schools in the United States with high concentrations of special needs
children, particularly those which are considered overseas assignments.
The Committee understands that the amounts currently provided by the
Federal government are insufficient to provide fully for the
requirements of those schools that have large special needs populations
of military dependents.
OTHER DEFENSE PROGRAMS
Legacy Program .--The Committee has provided $15,000,000 for
continuation of the Legacy Program and directs the Department to provide
adequate funding for this program in fiscal year 2001. From within these
extra funds, the Committee expects the Department to proceed with the
preparation and execution of conservation plans to raise and preserve
the submarine Hunley.
Additionally, the Committee supports a major expansion and renovation
of the U.S.S. Constitution Museum and its archive and artifact storage
area planned as part of the museum's preparation for the new millennium.
This project will dramatically improve both the preservation and public
access for more than 10,000 items form the U.S.S. Constitution's
history.
From within the funds provided, the Department should proceed with
the recovery of artifacts from the Confederate Civil War ship, C.S.S.
Alabama .
Outsourcing and Privatization .--The Secretary of Defense shall
submit to the defense committees, by March 15, 2000, a report that
includes the following elements: (a) the size of the private sector
workforce performing contracts for the Department of Defense; (b) a cost
analysis of contracts awarded pursuant to OMB Circular A 76 in the last
five years that compares the cost of the federal employee contract at
the time of competition to the actual cost of the contract; (c) the
savings that are assumed in the fiscal year 2000 budget submissions of
each of the armed services due to outsourcing and privatization
activities; (d) an analysis of the amount and value of contracts that
were awarded to private contractors through OMB Circular A 76 versus
other mechanisms; and (e) the dates for renewal for contracts of more
than $2,000,000 that were awarded pursuant to OMB Circular A 76.
Streamlining Acquisition of Environmentally Preferable Products
.--Pollution prevention activities by the Department of Defense continue
to prove financially viable with both short and long term financial
savings. An important element of pollution prevention is the purchase of
environmentally preferable products (EPPs), as defined by Executive
Order 13101. Accordingly, the Committee urges the Department of Defense
to provide adequate resources for efforts toward implementation of the
Executive Order. Further, the Department should examine the feasibility
of providing resources for interagency activities for the development of
environmental preferability standards by appropriate Federal agencies or
nongovernmental organizations.
CIVIL-MILITARY PROGRAMS
The Committee continues to support the Department's civil-military
programs and provides a total of $88,503,000 for fiscal year 2000 as
follows:
[In thousands of dollars]
Youth Challenge Program 62,503
Innovative readiness training 20,000
Starbase Youth Program 6,000
Total 88,394
The Committee directs the Department to report to the Committee on
Appropriations on the status of the obligation of these funds not later
than March 15, 2000.
Innovative Readiness Training .--The Department has conducted
civil-military innovative readiness training (IRT) throughout the United
States since the early 1990's. Through the use of Active and Reserve
component personnel, this program provides community support in the
areas of health care, engineering, and infrastructure. These combat
support and service support units gain valuable hands-on mission
essential training. The Committee continues to strongly support this
realistic training. The Committee believes that the Department should
expand the scope of the readiness initiatives to include native American
groups when appropriate and compatible with mission requirements.

HMMWV Contract Maintenance .--The Committee urges the Army Reserve
to consider contract maintenance for their light tactical vehicle fleet.
Modern Burner Unit .--The Committee understands that improving Army
field feeding equipment is a major priority of the U.S. Army. The Modern
Burner Unit (MBU) was developed to replace the gasoline burning M2
currently used in all Army field-feeding applications. The MBU
eliminates the pressurized fuel system of the M2 and uses electronically
controlled components to decrease the production of hazardous emissions.
Fielding of the MBU directly supports the quality of life, safety and
the combat effectiveness of the soldier. The Committee encourages the
Army Reserve to identify the necessary resources to continue the
fielding of this system to key units.

National Missile Defense Planning Cell .--During fiscal year 2000,
the Department of Defense will conduct a Deployment Readiness Review to
assess the feasibility of deploying an operational national missile
defense (NMD) system to defend the United States against a limited
strategic ballistic missile threat. The National Guard will play an
integral role in manning and maintaining this ``one-of-a-kind'' system.
The Committee strongly encourages the National Guard Bureau to create a
dedicated NMD planning cell to facilitate coordination and integration
between the Ballistic Missile Defense NMD Joint Program Office, Corps of
Engineers, Department of the Army, Guard Bureau and the lead system
integrator.
The Committee recommends the identification and selection of National
Guard personnel to actively participate in planning and development of
doctrine regarding the NMD system. The Committee believes that manning
for this system will require innovative doctrine and planning
development to meet the challenges in recruiting, training, and
educating the personnel that will man this national asset. Additional
funding provided in this section for full-time Guard manning will
accommodate this requirement for a planning cell. The Committee directs
the Secretary of the Army to report to the congressional defense
subcommittees on the status of the National Guard assuming this mission,
creation of a planning cell, and development of associated NMD doctrine
and concept of operations. This report should be provided not later than
April 15, 2000.
Real property maintenance, Army National Guard .--During the past
several years, the Committee provided an increase for in-house recurring
maintenance and day-to-day repairs, as well as in-house and contract
projects required to maintain, repair, and adapt facility infrastructure
to meet mission needs. The Committee intends for these funds to be used
to reduce the growing Army National Guard real property maintenance
project backlog within the 54 Army Guard organizations, not for studies
or other administrative functions. The funds provided under this heading
are in addition to any other funds appropriated to the Army for real
property maintenance on behalf of the Army National Guard. The Committee
directs the Chief of the National Guard Bureau provide to the Committee
of Appropriations a report detailing how these funds will be allocated
not later than March 15, 2000.
Distance learning initiative.-- The Committee provides an increase
of $45,000,000 in the Army National Guard ``Operation and maintenance''
appropriation and $45,000,000 in the ``Other procurement, Army''
appropriation for distance learning and information management
requirements. The Committee continues to support the regional distance
learning initiative and creation of a distance learning network to
reduce costs of training soldiers, as well as to track personnel and
equipment inventories. The program is now fielded nationwide to include
the territories.
The Committee urges the National Guard Bureau to examine partnering
opportunities with universities and state governments that would
facilitate community involvement in this network and enhance its long
term viability.
The Committee directs that funding for the distance learning network
be spent only for expansion and continuation of the program. The
Committee further directs the National Guard Bureau provide to the
congressional defense committees a report on how the Department intends
to allocate funding for the distance learning program in fiscal year
2000 not later than February 15, 2000.
Project Management System Pilot Project .--The Committee understands
that the National Guard Bureau has begun to implement a Project
Management System Pilot Program which will provide a fully integrated,
scheduling and financial project management system. This system, which
uses commercially developed off-the-shelf technology, will present
essential information to decision makers in a timely manner. The
Committee urges the Department of Defense to review it applicability for
use throughout the Department.
BASE PACE .--The Committee believes that in the future the most
cost-effective means of military education will be distributive
learning, with basic computer skills providing the foundation. The
Committee is aware that the Distributive Technologies Innovation Center
of the U.S. Army National Guard Training and Technology Battle Lab has
developed the BASE PACE pilot program to provide distributive learning
opportunities to improve military occupational speciality skills. The
Committee urges the Department to continue this important program.
Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT) .--The Committee understands
that the National Guard has initiated a pilot program to protect
intra-state computer networks. The five states that currently have teams
have expressed support for this new innovative concept. The Committee
encourages the National Guard Bureau to assess the requirement and
feasibility of expanding this initiative.
Net Trooper Program .--With the tremendous growth of distance
learning initiatives throughout the Department of Defense, the Committee
believes that all military personnel need the appropriate tools and
training to maximize these opportunities. The Net Trooper program
provides an advanced computer and Internet learning tool that appears to
have great potential in meeting these goals. The Committee urges the
National Guard Bureau to consider this software for incorporation into
its distance learning program.
First responder missions .--The Committee encourages the National
Guard Bureau to give consideration to the Washington Army National Guard
at Camp Murray for development and enhancement of courseware development
and commercially available off-the-shelf (COTS) management system
software and hardware to meet unfunded Army National Guard functional
training requirements for ``first responder'' missions such as weapons
of mass destruction, information operations and the Rapid Assessment and
Initial Detection (RAID) teams.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE, AIR NATIONAL GUARD
Appropriations, 1999 $3,106,933,000
Budget estimate, 2000 3,099,618,000
Committee recommendation 3,229,638,000
The Committee recommends an appropriation of $3,229,638,000. This is
$130,020,000 above the President's budget.
All recommended adjustments to the budget request, including those
items discussed elsewhere in this report, are summarized below:
[In thousands of dollars]

QOLE(D) RPM transfer +63,020
Total adjustments +130,020
Recommended appropriations
3,229,638
C 130 operations .--The Committee recognizes the increased demand
placed on C 130 aircraft operations within the Air National Guard and
has provided $5,000,000 to address increased operations, maintenance,
and supports costs. Such funds are intended to support both the C 130
aircraft assigned to operational squadrons and for full coverage of the
cost of operating and maintaining those stand alone aircraft currently
utilized by selected States.
Air National Guard Civil Engineer Force Structure .--The Committee
understands that the Air Force is reassessing its total civil engineer
requirements in light of emerging Expeditionary Aerospace Force (EAF)
and weapons of mass destruction initiatives. Currently, the Air Guard
civil engineering force is programmed to lose many key specialities to
include engineering, electrical power production,
heating/ventilation/air conditioning, pavements, structural, utilities,
liquid fuels, environmental, operations, fire protection and readiness.
The Air Guard's capabilities to support the total force contingency and
wartime taskings will be drastically reduced by these projected manpower
reductions.
The Committee directs the Secretary of the Air Force to report to the
congressional defense committees on the Air Force plan to realign the
total civil engineer force structure and its future ability to support
wartime requirements in this area no later than November 15, 1999.
Fort Belknap Training Range .--The Committee provides an additional
$2,000,000 for studies required for the Fort Belknap Training Range.
Defense Systems Evaluation (DSE) .--Of the funds provided under this
heading, the Committee directs that $2,500,000 be used to continue DSE
service to the White Sands Missile Range.
C\4\ Systems Support .--The Committee has learned that the recent
conversion of two active Air Force bases to C 17 training and daily
operations revealed deficiencies in communications infrastructure, which
provided significant impediment to the bases' efficient conversion. The
Committee is also aware that the Air National Guard unit, which will
receive the first Air National Guard C 17 aircraft, also suffers from
communications obsolescence. To ensure that this Air Guard unit and
bed-down location meet the increased technical requirements of Command,
Control, Communication and Computers (C\4\), the Air Force is directed
to review the capabilities of this unit and provide a detailed report to
the Committee by 1 November 1999. The report shall include the Air
Force's plans to ensure that the required base infrastructure
improvements are completed at this location prior to the arrival of the
first C 17 aircraft.
OVERSEAS CONTINGENCY OPERATIONS TRANSFER FUND
Appropriations, 1999 $439,400,000
Budget estimate, 2000 2,387,600,000
Committee recommendation 2,087,600,000
Contingency Operations .--During 1997, the Department of Defense
established a Readiness panel as part of the Quadrennial Defense Review.
The Readiness panel considered several methods for funding the cost of
peacekeeping operations, having recognized that the administration's
policy of engaging in indefinite peacekeeping operations was causing a
migration of funds from modernization to operation and maintenance
activities. The Secretary of Defense chose not to implement any of the
funding alternatives presented by the Readiness panel.
The Committee is concerned that after two years from the inception of
the QDR, the Department of Defense has failed to establish a consistent
policy for the equitable funding of contingency operations across the
Armed Services. For example, by classifying standard operation and
maintenance activities at bases within the continental U.S. (such as
real property maintenance, base operations, civilian personnel costs,
range upgrades, and weapons and vehicle maintenance), as incremental
costs, the Army has funded these activities as contingency operations.
The costs of training preparation for Bosnia ground units, moreover, are
no longer incremental, as these units have been identified long in
advance of deployment. The Air Force, in fiscal year 1998, expended
contingency costs in nearly every subactivity group within the O&M
appropriation. The Navy routinely funds the costs of contingencies and
deployments from within available O&M funding. Further confusing the
Department's funding of contingencies is the financing of second
destination transportation for Bosnia from Defense Working Capital Fund
cash resources.
In light of this misuse of the Overseas Contingency Operations
Transfer Fund, and the reduction in personnel supporting operations in
Bosnia subsequent to the submission of the budget estimate, the request
is reduced by $300,000,000.
The Department, moreover, was provided additional supplemental
contingency funding for fiscal year 1999 as described in H.R. 1141, as
enacted.
The Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller) shall continue to notify
the defense subcommittees 30 days in advance if the Department expects
to exceed the total allotment for a given contingency and to provide
quarterly reports to the defense subcommittees. These reports shall
include amounts transferred and the requirements funded, in the same
format as provided in supplemental and reprogramming requests.
COURT OF MILITARY APPEALS
Appropriations, 1999 $7,324,000
Budget estimate, 2000 7,621,000
Committee recommendation 7,621,000
The Committee recommends an appropriation of $7,621,000 for
activities of the Court of Military Appeals for fiscal year 2000.
ENVIRONMENTAL RESTORATION
Total Appropriations, 1999 $1,268,431,000
Budget estimate, 2000 1,263,554,000
Committee recommendation 1,303,554,000
The Committee recommends a total amount for environmental restoration
of $1,303,554,000. This is $40,000,000 above the budget estimate.
Environmental Contracting .--The Committee remains concerned with
the degree that the Department of Defense is using large Indefinite
Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts, such as the Remedial
Action Contract (RAC) and the Total Environmental Restoration Contract
(TERC), to execute their overall environmental restoration program. Some
of these contract awards have dollar values of more than $300,000,000,
encompass a broad geographic area and can remain in effect over a
ten-year period.
For example, the Navy executed 35 percent of its environmental
remediation program in fiscal year 1998 using RAC contracts. This
contracting strategy was originally envisioned for clean up requirements
that were high priority, complex and time sensitive. However, IDIQ
contracts have become the preferred contractual vehicle for
environmental work throughout the Department. While the Committee
recognizes the need for flexibility in environmental contracting, the
use of these large, undefinitized contracts often precludes local
contractor and small business involvement in DOD's clean up work.
Accordingly, the Committee directs that not more than 25 percent of
funding obligated to the Department of Defense for environmental
remediation shall be executed through indefinite delivery/indefinite
quantity contracts with a total contract amount of $130,000,000 or
higher. Further, the Committee directs that the Secretary of Defense
report to the congressional defense committees not later than January
15, 2000, on their use of IDIQ contracts during fiscal year 1999, and
that this information be provided quarterly throughout fiscal year 2000.
Compliance with defense acquisition regulations .--For environmental
restoration projects subject to the terms of section 52.2222 of the
Defense Federal acquisition regulations [DFAR], the Committee directs
that any awardee of contracts for such projects exceeding $1,000,000
shall submit a plan for compliance with section 52.2222 of the DFAR to
the appropriate contracting office not later than 90 days after contract
award.
Notification of environmental contract awards .--The Committee
remains concerned that the Department failed to fully accomplish the
Committee's intent regarding adequate notification of the projects
funded by this account. To ensure the Department complies with this
direction, each military service shall notify interested State and local
authorities and interested Members of Congress upon release of draft
solicitations for contracts anticipated to exceed $5,000,000. The
Committee directs that this requirement shall apply to all increments of
indefinite delivery indefinite quantity-type contracts which meet this
threshold.
The Committee has provided the following funding for each service:

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED ADJUSTMENTS
Committee Recommendations .--The following table lists program
recommendations proposed by the Committee. These adjustments reflect the
following committee actions: elimination of funds requested for programs
which are lower priority, duplicative or not supported by firm
requirements or out-year development and procurement funds; deletion of
excess funds based on program delays or slow execution; addition of
funds to reflect congressional priorities and to rectify shortfalls in
the budget request for activities; and implementation of recommendations
reported in the Senate bill authorizing programs and activities of the
Department of Defense [DOD] for fiscal year 2000.

UH 60 Helicopters .--The Committee recommends an addition of
$121,000,000 for the purchase of 6 UH 60L and 5 UH 60Q model
helicopters. The Committee directs the six UH 60L's shall be made
available to the Army National Guard.
AH 64 Apache Longbow .--The Committee believes the Army decision to
reduce the Apache Longbow inventory objective is short sighted and
unaffordable. The new plan to adjust the Apache Longbow inventory to 530
helicopters and 500 radars from the plan of 748 helicopters and 227
radars has several implications which the Army did not fund. First, the
remaining A-model Apaches will now require a service life extension
program and will force the Army to maintain unique support equipment,
spares, and training--all currently unfunded in Army budget plans.
Further, the Army has not fully funded the additional fire control
radars and engine modifications. Finally, this unaffordable Army
decision ignores the doctrinal plan to rely on a single fire control
radar-equipped Apache to support multiple Longbow-capable Apaches.
The Committee believes the previous Apache Longbow acquisition
strategy was more appropriate to the Army's requirements, operating
doctrine and budget resources. The Committee directs the Army to develop
an affordable, fully budgeted plan for the Apache Longbow program. The
Committee directs the Secretary of the Army to submit a report on this
plan with the fiscal year 2001 Department of Defense budget request.
Kiowa Warrior .--The Committee has provided an increase of
$2,600,000 for Crew Station Mission Equipment Trainers (CSMET). CSMET
supports Army Aviation requirements for the new, higher fidelity Kiowa
Warrior Crew Trainer (KWCT) of the future. The Committee understands
that this change will integrate CSMET equipment with the KWCT program
that will include sensor and gunnery training.

Tactical trailers/dolly sets .--The Committee recommends an
additional $6,000,000 in tactical trailers/dolly sets only for the
self-load/off-load trailer [SLOT].
Secure mobile antijam reliable tactical terminal (SMART T)
.--According to a recent review by the Director, Operational Test and
Evaluation, operational effectiveness of the SMART T has not been
demonstrated. According to this review, ``the SMART T is not
operationally suitable due to numerous training, soldier efficiency, RAM
[reliability, availability, and maintainability], and integrated support
logistics issues.'' The Report recommended that production of the SMART
T should be ``specifically limited to the first option (91) terminals''
while additional testing and assessment proceeds. The Army has already
acquired in excess of this number of terminals. Therefore, the Committee
recommends a reduction of $10,000,000.
Warfighter Information Network .--The Committee recommends an
increase of $40,000,000 to procure additional AN/TTC 56 single shelter
switches with associated support assemblages and network management
capability.
Secure terminal equipment .--The Committee recommends an additional
$12,500,000 in the Information System Security Program [ISSP], of which
$6,000,000 is for the Tactical Secure Terminal Equipment Program,
$5,000,000 is for the MX5T Secure Information System, and $1,500,000 is
for the Portable Uninterruptable Universal Power Supply System.
Multi-Purpose Range Targetry Electronics .--To ensure timely and
efficient execution of all phases of the Multi-Purpose Range
Complex-Heavy at Camp Shelby, on which construction will begin in fiscal
year 2000, the Committee recommends an additional $5,100,000 in the
Worldwide Technical Control Improvement Program (WWTCIP) to procure the
Targetry electronics to be placed underground during the early phase of
the project.
Night Vision Equipment .--The Committee recommends an additional
$50,000,000 for night vision equipment. The Committee agrees that the
night vision equipment account shall be executed by the Army with
priority interest given to the following items: AN/PAS 13 Thermal Weapon
Sights; AN/PEQ 2A Target Pointer Illuminator Aiming Lights (TPIAL);
Tactical Surveillance Night Vision Devices; AN/PAC 4C Infrared Aiming
Lights; AN/AVS 5 Driver's Vision Enhancer (DVE); AN/PVS 4 and AN/TVS 5
night vision devices; AN/PVS 7D night vision devices; 25mm generation
III image intensifier tubes.
Modification of in-service equipment .--The Committee is concerned
about reports that the Firefinder radar system has suffered from high
false alarm rates in urban environments during recent deployments. The
Committee recommends an increase of $8,100,000 to modify in-service
systems and approve system reliability.
High mobility multipurpose wheeled vehicle .--The Committee has
recommended the procurement of up-armored High Mobility Multipurpose
Wheeled Vehicles (HMMWV) at a level consistent with the President's
budget request. The HMMWV, including its up-armored variant, fulfills a
number of critical mission requirements and has demonstrated its
capabilities in peacekeeping operations in Bosnia. The Committee is
aware that the potential for extended military operations in the former
Yugoslavia could require additional up-armored HMMWVs beyond those
requested in the President's budget. The Army shall provide to the
Committee a report outlining potential needs for additional up-armored
HMMWVs by December 1, 2000.
Striker-Command and Control System .--The Committee recommends an
additional $10,000,000 in the Striker-Command and Control System, of
which $5,000,000 is for the Striker HMMWV based targeting platform for
Combat Observing Lazer Teams (COLT), and $5,000,000 is for the
procurement of test program sets for the Bradley Striker Program.
LOGTECH .--The Committee recommends an additional $5,000,000 in
LOGTECH for Army Automatic Identification Technology (AIT) Integration
efforts for maintenance processes and automated information systems.
Ribbon bridge .--New Multi-Role Bridge Companies (MRBC) are being
established in the U.S. Army and the U.S. Army National Guard. The Guard
is a key element in the total Army Engineer bridge force. The MRBC is
the doctrinal response to the needed restructure of the current bridge
companies to safeguard bridging stocks, improve the training of bridge
builders, and retain bridging capabilities required by maneuver
commanders. The Committee recommends $13,500,000 to procure the key
equipment items that are required to create one MRBC.
Lightweight Maintenance Enclosure (LME) .--The Committee recommends
an additional $3,200,000 in the Lightweight Maintenance Enclosure (LME)
program.
Water purification systems .--The Committee recommends an additional
$3,000,000 for additional 3,000 gallon per hour tactical water
purification systems (TWPS).
Combat support medical .--The Committee recommends an additional
$4,000,000 in the Combat Support Medical line to acquire additional Life
Support for Trauma and Transport (LSTAT) units in order to achieve
Initial Operational Capability (IOC) of the system.
Combat training centers support .--The Committee recommends an
increase of $7,000,000 to establish a deployable force-on-force
instrumentation range system (DFIRST) pilot program. The Committee
directs the Secretary of the Army to provide a report on the results of
the pilot program and the potential future use of DFIRST as a training
enhancement for reserve component training requirements. Additionally,
the Committee recommends an increase of $3,000,000 to complete
instrumentation for the JRTC MOUT site at Fort Polk, Louisiana.
Training devices, nonsystem .--The Committee recommends an
additional $3,500,000 for the Improved Moving Target Simulator Upgrade
Program.
Modification of in-service equipment (OPA 3) .--The Committee
recommends an additional $8,000,000 for the Army's Commercial
Construction Equipment (CCE) Service Life Extension Program (SLEP).
REMBASS II .--The Committee recommends that the Army examine the
option applying additional funds to the Remotely Monitored Battlefield
Sensor System (REMBASS) II, an all-weather battlefield intelligence
support system that is about one-third the weight and one-quarter the
cost of its predecessor, the Improved REMBASS (IREMBASS).

C 135 .--The Committee understands that there are a number of
commercial engines which could enhance the capability, improve the
performance, and lower the maintenance costs of 707-based aircraft. The
Committee also understands that the existing strong market for such
commercial engines may permit DOD to lease these engines at favorable
rates and with little or no lease termination liability. Accelerated
reengining through leasing will allow DOD to realize substantial
operations and maintenance cost savings on 707 platforms. Excepting
Rivet Joint aircraft, the Committee believes any further re-engining of
C 135 aircraft should be completed through a competitive program to
lease commercial engines.
The Committee directs that the Department of Defense initiate a pilot
program to re-engine the Joint Stars fleet with leased commercial
engines. The Committee directs that the Deputy Secretary of Defense
provide a report detailing DoD's schedule and budget for re-engining
JSTARS aircraft with the fiscal year 2001 budget submission.
Theater airborne warning sensor [TAWS] .--At the direction of the
Congress, the Department of Defense reevaluated the need for airborne
infrared detection and tracking of theater ballistic missiles. Based on
this analysis, DOD concluded that the airborne warning and control
system [AWACS] Eagle and Rivet Joint TAWS efforts should be brought to
an orderly termination with the results transferred to the Airborne
Laser [ABL] Program, a system which inherently provides this detection
capability.
The Committee endorses the Department of Defense conclusion on
airborne infrared system requirements. Since DOD completed its
assessment, development efforts have proceeded successfully on a new
generation of ballistic missile warning sensors. Every Aegis ship can
now detect and track theater ballistic missiles, providing a more
accurate estimate of the launch point and impact point than TAWS.
Further, the availability of upgraded Patriot advanced capability 3 [PAC
3] missile radars and THAAD ground-based radars [GBR] have significantly
advanced the Pentagon's ground-based missile tracking capability. Thus,
the Committee endorses bringing the TAWS Program to an orderly
conclusion and transferring any lessons learned to the ABL Program.
C 17 .--The Committee is aware of the recent unsolicited proposal to
provide the Air Force with 60 additional C 17 aircraft. This proposal
offers a cost-effective way for the Air Force to meet the continually
growing airlift demands of today's mobile force. The Committee further
recognizes that current C 17 inventory and basing plans will not meet
the timelines and lift requirements of Pacific theater airlift missions.
Already, we are learning from the Kosovo missions that the airlift
demand can quickly outstrip supply when we suddenly are required to
build the capability to operate from an austere airfield.
With these thoughts in mind, the Committee has provided new
multi-year procurement authority to allow the Air Force to enter into
negotiations on the procurement of sixty additional C 17's. The
Committee understands that timely Air Force decisions on the sharing of
current C 17 production incentive funds will ensure that this new C 17
multi-year procurement option and favorable price are available to the
Department of Defense.
F 16 .--The Committee has provided an increase of $50,000,000 to the
budget request to permit the Department of Defense to purchase 12 F 16
aircraft in fiscal year 2000. The Committee previously recognized the
need to modernize Guard and Reserve units which are operating F 16
aircraft which are reaching the end of their service life. The Committee
believes the requirements of these units must be met and supports the
Air Force strategy to purchase new aircraft and then make reallocations
of the the F 16 inventory. To enable the cost effective procurement of
additional F 16's, the Committee has provided $24,000,000 and multi-year
procurement authority to permit the purchase of 12 F 16's in fiscal year
2001.
Passenger Safety Modifications .--The Committee has provided
$40,000,000 for passenger safety modifications. The Committee directs
that these funds shall be available to the Air Force to satisfy the
requirements to modify aircraft with improved passenger safety systems
and to comply with Global Air Traffic Management (GATM) standards. These
funds are also available for the addition of Terrain Awareness and
Warning System (TAWS) to KC 10, C 135, C 20, and T 43 aircraft.
On Board Oxygen Generating System (OBOGS) .--The Committee is
concerned by the Air Force's lack of progress on the OBOGS program. The
Congress provided specific direction regarding OBOGS in the reports
accompanying the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 1999. The
Committee directs the Secretary of the Air Force to provide a report no
later than October 15, 1999, outlining the specific steps the Air Force
has taken to comply with the Congress' directive language. The report
should further address the costs and potential cost savings of OBOGS
installations in appropriate aircraft, across the fleet or at selected
installations.
The Committee is also disturbed that the Department of Defense has
not considered all potential sources of OBOGS equipment, particularly
qualified small businesses. The Committee directs that OBOGS purchases
and installations be made based on full and open competitive
procurements which allow all potential vendors a fair and equal
opportunity to provide OBOGS equipment.

ASVS .--The Committee recommends that the Department examine
expediting the transition to ``dry'' digital methods for the collection
data during aircraft and aircraft weapons separation testing and other
high-speed events. Currently, the Services use 16mm and 35mm ``wet''
film cameras for such test recording, which is costly, time-consuming,
and environmentally damaging. A ``dry'' system, such as the Airborne
Separation Video System (ASVS), would afford a high-frame rate digital,
color imaging system with higher resolution, a smaller remote sensor, no
environmental waste-product, and potential for tremendous savings.
NATIONAL GUARD AND RESERVE EQUIPMENT
Appropriations, 1999 $352,000,000

Committee recommendation 300,000,000
The Committee recommends a funding level of $300,000,000 for National
Guard and Reserve dedicated equipment. This recommendation is
$300,000,000 above the budget request.
The appropriation for this account includes direction for each
Reserve or National Guard component commander to prepare and submit to
the congressional defense committees a detailed assessment of that
component's modernization priorities.
The Committee maintains that the Reserves and National Guard should
exercise control of funds provided for their modernization in this
account. The separate submission of these assessments, directly from the
components chiefs to the committees will ensure that the Reserve and
National Guard priorities are addressed in the allocation of this
appropriation.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS
The Committee has reflected a number of its funding adjustments in a
table format. The Committee directs that the funding increases outlined
in the tables which follow shall be provided only for the specific
purposes outlined in the table entry.
RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT, TEST, AND EVALUATION, ARMY
Appropriations, 1999 $5,031,788,000
Budget estimate, 2000 4,426,194,000
Committee recommendation 4,905,294,000
The Committee recommends an appropriation of $4,905,294,000 for the
Army's research, development, test, and evaluation programs, an increase
of $479,100,000 to the budget request. The budget activities and
programs funded under this appropriation are discussed below.
Motar Anti-Personnel/Anti-Material (MPAM) .--The Committee is aware
that there may be a more effective round of 60mm mortar ammunition than
the current M720. Accordingly, the Committee directs the Secretary of
the Army to conduct a comparative side-by-side test and evaluation
program to determine the lethality and effectiveness of MAPAM mortar
ammunition when compared to the M270 ammunition. Further, M270 shall be
tested concurrently with MAPAM ammunition to establish a current,
complete and accurate evaluation baseline. The Committee recommends
$7,200,000 for the express purpose of (i) conducting the side-by-side
test program, (ii) conducting an independent evaluation of the test
results, and (iii) type classification of the MAPAM ammunition.
Medical Technology .--The Committee supports advanced soft tissue
modeling research for application in the development of advanced
technology surgical simulation applications. The Committee encourages
the department to establish a public/private research project in
coordination with the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to explore
advanced soft tissue modeling capability for use in developing a
surgical simulation technology application, and encourages the
Department to make available up to $8,500,000 from within available
funds for this effort.
Medical Advanced Technology .--The Committee has supported promising
advanced computer aided tomography (CAT) technology development efforts.
This technology, known as the Volume AngioCAT, could integrate several
technologies into a single device capable of rapid whole body internal
injury assessment. The Committee directs the Surgeon General of the Army
to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the Volume AngioCAT development
program, specifically addressing the program's medical value and
application to the unique needs of military medicine, and provide a
report to the Committee by March 1, 2000.
Management Headquarters .--The Committee recommends $28,191,000 for
Management Headquarters, of which $23,000,000 is only to support the
prototyping, demonstration, validation, and maturation of technology
through the Akamai project. Within these funds, $4,000,000 is for
hyperspectral diagnostic imaging, $3,000,000 is for the remote access to
medical specialists program, $3,000,000 is for target services for
special needs military children, and $1,000,000 is to establish a
technology transfer program to other federal government entities that
leverage existing DoD investment and reuse successful telehealth
prototypes.
Electroplating Technologies .--The Committee recognizes the need to
develop lead/tin-free solders in the many microcircuits in the
Department's equipment. Incorporating lead/tin-free solders into the
Department's microcircuits will reduce environmental hazards such as
human central nervous system debilitation, lower manufacturing costs
because of averted regulatory compliance costs, and improve performance.
The Committee encourages the Army to allocate funds for the development
of lead/tin-free electroplating technologies to meet this purpose.
Lightweight 155mm Towed Howitzer .--The Committee is concerned that
the Lightweight 155mm Towed Howitzer program has been suffering from
contractor and program deficiencies, which has led to a 2-year delay in
the program. The program has failed to fully utilize the expertise of
Army arsenals in the development and design of the howitzer. Considering
the long history of the arsenals in advancing howitzer technological
development as well as refining production techniques, it is important
that they be actively involved in the program, especially during the
crucial EMD/prototype phase to ensure that efficient production
techniques are designed at the earliest possible stage of the program.
In addition, the arsenals constitute an important resource in providing
spare parts and special development items for howitzer forces in time of
war and national emergencies.
The Committee believes the Army and the Marine Corps should develop a
plan to include the Rock Island Arsenal in all aspects of howitzer
development, design, and production, including recoil mechanisms,
carriages and gun tubes for the Lightweight 155mm Towed Howitzer Program
and all other Army/Marine Corps future towed artillery programs. The
Committee expects the Army and the Marine Corps to issue a report to the
Senate and House Appropriations Subcommittees on Defense no later than
sixty days after the enactment of this bill outlining the plan and the
steps it has taken to implement it.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED ADJUSTMENTS
Committee Recommendations .--The following table lists program
recommendations proposed by the Committee. These adjustments reflect the
following committee actions: elimination of funds requested for programs
which are lower priority, duplicative or not supported by firm
requirements or out-year development and procurement funds; deletion of
excess funds based on program delays or slow execution; addition of
funds to reflect congressional priorities and to rectify shortfalls in
the budget request for activities; and implementation of recommendations
reported in the Senate bill authorizing programs and activities of the
Department of Defense [DOD] for fiscal year 2000.

Appropriations, 1999 $8,636,649,000
Budget estimate, 2000 7,984,016,000
Committee recommendation 8,448,816,000
The Committee recommends an appropriation of $8,448,816,000 for the
Navy's research, development, test, and evaluation programs, an increase
of $464,800,000 to the budget request.
The budget activities and programs funded under this appropriation
are discussed below.
UESA Signal Processing Support .--The Committee recommends
$5,000,000 in addition to the budget request to upgrade infrastructure
at the test site for the UESA program to improve signal processing
capabilities in support of this and other Navy test programs.
Vectored Thrust Ducted Propeller (VTDP) .-- The Committee recommends
an additional $6,000,000 for the flight demonstration of the Vectored
Thrust Ducted Propeller (VTDP) Compound Helicopter technology. The
Secretary of the Navy's Report to Congress specified objectives for this
program which include the original Congressionally directed goal of
validating the multi-mission speed, range and life cycle cost benefits
of this technology, and a potential new requirement for Airborne Mine
Counter Measures (AMCM) tow testing. The Committee understands that the
addition of the AMCM tow testing and NAVAIR flight clearance
requirements have increased the amount of funding required by
$12,300,000 and that approximately $6,000,000 of this is required in
fiscal year 2000. The Committee directs the Navy to fund the outyear
portion of this shortfall in the fiscal year 2001 budget.
National Technology Alliance (NTA) .--The Committee is aware that
the efforts of the National Technology Alliance (NTA), (consisting of
the National Media Laboratory (NML), the National Information Display
Laboratory (NIDL) and the National Center for Applied Technology) have
saved the Intelligence Community and others in the defense industry
hundreds of millions of dollars, far in excess of the monies invested in
the NTA program. The laboratories have been successful in providing
solutions applicable to the intelligence community, DOD, and civil
agencies, due largely to the NTA's ability to work across agency and
departmental boundaries on common technological problems and technical
standards. Therefore, the Committee recommends $10,000,000 to reinforce
the cross-agency, cross-program sharing of advanced commercial and
consumer information technology solutions for the end users in the
Intelligence community and DOD.
Stainless Steel Advanced Double Hull .--The Committee recommends an
additional $5,000,000 for an analytical and experimental development
program on the Stainless Steel Advanced Double Hull concept.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED ADJUSTMENTS
Committee Recommendations .--The following table lists program
recommendations proposed by the Committee. These adjustments reflect the
following committee actions: elimination of funds requested for programs
which are lower priority, duplicative or not supported by firm
requirements or out-year development and procurement funds; deletion of
excess funds based on program delays or slow execution; addition of
funds to reflect congressional priorities and to rectify shortfalls in
the budget request for activities; and implementation of recommendations
reported in the Senate bill authorizing programs and activities of the
Department of Defense [DOD] for fiscal year 2000.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED ADJUSTMENTS
Human Effectiveness and Applied Research .--Solid state oxygen
separation using planar electrolytic ceramic membranes can supply pure
oxygen at point of use. In addition to being easier to deploy and more
compact, it is less expensive than traditional oxygen generation. The
Committee recommends an increase of $6,000,000 to begin development of
defense applications of this technology.
Theater Battle Management (TBM) C\4\I .--The Committee is aware of
an Air Force requirement to continue the initiative to provide an
automated system to support delivery of air support to ground
commanders. The system provides the Joint Force Air Component Commander
(JFACC) the ability to effectively fulfill requests for Close Air
Support (CAS) from both Army and Marine ground commanders. These
capabilities are critical to the development of the Air Expeditionary
Force (AEF) concept to provide key interfaces between the air and ground
components. Accordingly, the Committee recommends an increase of
$5,000,000 to support implementation of these capabilities in the year
2000.

The Committee recommends an appropriation of $9,325,315,000 for
defense-wide research, development, test, and evaluation programs, an
increase of $716,026,000 to the budget request.
The budget activities and programs funded under this appropriation
are discussed below.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED ADJUSTMENTS
Advanced Electronics Technology .--The Committee supports
development of change-detection technology to interpret reconnaissance
imagery and enhance intelligence community capabilities. The National
Information Display Laboratory (NIDL) has been in the forefront of
developing this technology and applying it to other military and
non-military applications. The Committee urges that an interagency Board
of Advisors be created to guide the NIDL's research agenda and its
efforts to continue improving change-detection technology and to develop
innovative applications. The Committee has provided an increase of
$3,000,000 for research on change detection technology.
Advanced Concept Technology Demonstration (ACTD) Littoral
Battlefield .--Over the past several years, the Committee has supported
efforts to demonstrate combined forces in war fighting exercises. Such
initiatives have demonstrated promise towards achieving advancements in
force integration, technology development, battlespace management,
attack assessment and operational space exploitation.
In order to facilitate the use of advanced technology on the
battlefield, the Committee endorses an extensive advanced concept
technology demonstration program that assesses expanding the littoral
battlefield. The Chairman's Joint Vision 2010 provides for such an
approach, using a series of exercises and experiments to test these
concepts and capabilities.
The Committee believes that such an assessment should be developed in
conjunction with an existing joint and operational exercise where a
subordinate unified command responds to unforseen theater missions. This
exercise needs to replicate combined joint training in areas with varied
topographies including mountain terrain, bodies of water and a full
spectrum of climatic conditions. The deployed task force headquarters
would provide the command and control of the littoral battlefield.
The Committee directs the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs to report to
the congressional defense committees on the Department's plan and time
line for the joint experimentation program for fiscal year 2000 and 2001
no later than February 15, 2000.
Computer-Assisted Technology Transfer .--The Computer-Assisted
Technology Transfer (CATT) program provides an innovative approach to
Department of Defense procurement problems. The CATT partnership
provides a possible solution for the DoD parts challenge by using
information technologies to develop the industrial base and modernize
the procurement process. These projects utilize distributed test beds to
perform research and development, and evaluate, prototype, and transfer
new and emerging information and manufacturing technologies between the
military and civilian sectors. Support to small and medium-sized
enterprises (SME) is provided through various types of mentoring
structures which leverage existing procurement assistance initiatives.
The Committee supports this program and encourages the Department to
expand this program to other SME manufacturers creating additional
virtual enterprise manufacturing programs, creating capacity to respond
rapidly and cost-effectively to market forces.
Biosystems Technology .--The Committee supports the development of
environmentally sensitive products and services essential for the
efficient operation of all branches of the military and the civilian
sector and recognizes the unique factors in tropical and subtropical
regions to provide the technology and resource base for these products
and services. The Committee recommends $6,000,000 to pursue science and
technology biological systems research in conjunction with the United
States Department of Agriculture Sustainable Economic Activity program.
WMD Related Technology .--The Committee has provided an increase of
$7,000,000 for the Department of Defense (DoD) to analyze, model,
simulate and predict the effects of nuclear explosions and to develop
techniques to ensure systems survive these effects. The Committee
encourages the Department of Defense to maintain the capability to
perform these tasks.
Controlled Flight into Terrain Accidents .--The Committee supports
NIMA's efforts with other federal agencies to improve flight safety by
using national imagery and photogrammetric techniques to create 3D
terrain and obstruction databases for airfields. The Committee directs
NIMA to expend up to $10,000,000 for this worthwhile effort,
coordinating this activity with the Department of Transportation in
order to meet flight standards and certification requirements.
BALLISTIC MISSILE DEFENSE ORGANIZATION
Ballistic Missile Defense Organization [BMDO] .--The Committee has
provided $3,455,993,000 for research, development, test, and evaluation
[RDT&E] efforts on national and theater ballistic missile defense
systems and technologies. This appropriation represents an overall
increase of $511,545,000 to the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization
[BMDO] RDT&E budget request. The Committee also provides $360,898,000
for procurement of ballistic missile defense systems and components, an
increase of $4,998,000 to the budget request. Thus, the total
appropriation for ballistic missile defense programs in this bill is
$3,816,891,000. The Committee has made a number of adjustments to
individual RDT&E accounts.

DEVELOPMENTAL TEST AND EVALUATION, DEFENSE
Appropriations, 1999 $258,606,000
Budget estimate, 2000 253,457,000
Committee recommendation 251,957,000
The Committee recommends an appropriation of $251,957,000 for the
``Developmental test and evaluation, defense'' account, a decrease of
$1,500,000 from the budget request.
Committee Recommended Adjustment
Central Test and Evaluation Investment Program (CTEIP) .--The
Committee provides $120,241,000, a decrease of $1,500,000 to the budget
request. The Committee adds $13,500,000 only to fund the Army's Roadway
Simulator at the Aberdeen Test Center. The Committee also has deleted
$15,000,000 from the Resource Enhancement Project (REP). The Committee
understands the difficulty in programing and budgeting short-term
emergent T&E requirements within REP. The Committee is concerned that
REP funds are being used for recurrent and longer-term projects. The
Committee believes that most, if not all, of these projects should be
funded by the individual services.
OPERATIONAL TEST AND EVALUATION, DEFENSE
Appropriations, 1999 $34,245,000
Budget estimate, 2000 24,434,000
Committee recommendation 34,434,000
The Committee recommends an appropriation of $34,434,000 for the
``Operational test and evaluation, defense'' account an increase of
$10,000,000 to the budget request.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED ADJUSTMENT
Live Fire Testing .--The Committee provides $10,000,000 only for
continuation of the Live Fire Testing and Training Initiative (LFT&I).
The Committee is encouraged by efforts within the Department to enhance
testing technologies with modeling and simulation.
TITLE V
REVOLVING AND MANAGEMENT FUNDS
The Committee recommends appropriations totaling $445,044,000 for
title V, revolving and management funds.
The Committee provides funding for the defense working capital fund
and the national defense sealift fund under this heading.
DEFENSE WORKING CAPITAL FUNDING ADJUSTMENTS
Appropriations, 1999 $94,500,000
Budget estimate, 2000 90,344,000
Committee recommendation 90,344,000
NATIONAL DEFENSE SEALIFT FUND
Appropriations, 1999 $706,366,000
Budget estimate, 2000 354,700,000
Committee recommendation 354,700,000
This appropriation provides funds for the lease, operation, and
supply of prepositioning ships; operation of the Ready Reserve Force;
acquisition of large medium speed roll-on/roll-off ships for the
Military Sealift Command; and acquisition of ships for the Ready Reserve
Force.
The budget includes $257,000,000 for Ready Reserve Force and
$97,000,000 for acquisition activities in fiscal year 1999.
National Defense Features Program .--The budget included no funds
for National Defense Features, a program to modify commercial ships to
allow them to be used for national defense purposes. The Committee has
long supported this program believing there might be opportunities in
the commercial marketplace to attain militarily useful vessels for a
relatively small investment. The Committee is aware of a new proposal
which would establish a program for sealift similar to the Commercial
Reserve Air Feet (CRAF). The Committee believes the Defense Department
should examine opportunities to create a program like CRAF for sealift
and directs the Department to study the issue and report back to the
congressional defense committees no later than March 1, 2000.
TITLE VI
OTHER DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE APPROPRIATIONS
CHEMICAL AGENTS AND MUNITIONS DESTRUCTION, ARMY
Appropriations, 1999 $780,150,000
Budget estimate, 2000 1,169,000,000
Committee recommendation 1,029,000,000
The Committee recommends an appropriation of $1,029,000,000 for the
``Chemical agents and munitions destruction, Army'' account for fiscal
year 2000, a decrease of $140,000,000 from the budget estimate.
The Chemical Stockpile Disposal Program provides resources to develop
and test monitoring and disposal technology; equip, operate, and
maintain disposal facilities; provide transportation of chemical agents
and munitions onsite for disposal; dispose of all chemical agent
destruction waste products; and decontaminate and dismantle all disposal
equipment at the conclusion of toxic operations.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS
BUDGET ACTIVITY 1--RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Research and development .--The fiscal year 2000 budget request
includes $334,000,000 for the development of alternative technologies to
incineration for disposal of chemical agents and the design, acquisition
and testing of prototype equipment for the recovery and treatment of the
nonstockpile chemical materiel. The Committee recommends $294,000,000, a
decrease of $40,000,000 below the budget request.
budget activity 2--procurement
Procurement .--The Department requested $241,500,000 for the
procurement of process and support equipment used for the baseline
destruction of chemical munitions in the stockpile, chemical stockpile
emergency preparedness project [CSEPP] equipment, and the nonstockpile
chemical material project [NSCMP] equipment. Also included are costs for
initial spares, freight, software, maintenance and operations manuals
relating to specific equipment, and design changes during construction
and installation.
The Committee recommends providing $191,500,000 for procurement
activities in fiscal year 2000, a reduction of $50,000,000 from the
budget request.
BUDGET ACTIVITY 3--OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE
Operation and maintenance .--The fiscal year 2000 budget request
includes $593,500,000 for operations and maintenance funds for
management, technical, and operational, support required for
demilitarization of the chemical stockpile, emergency response
activities, and support to the Nonstockpile Chemical Material Program.
The Committee recommends providing $543,500,000 a decrease of
$50,000,000 below the budget request.
PROGRAM OVERSIGHT AND MANAGEMENT
The Committee is concerned with the lack of oversight afforded the
Chemical Demilitarization Program within the executive branch. For
example, at the end of fiscal year 1998, the Department of Defense
informed the Committee that funds were unavailable for reprogramming to
allow for the demonstration of alternative technologies to baseline
incineration. More recently, the Office of Management and Budget
informed the Committee that due to Congressional reductions to the
fiscal year 1999 budget request, OMB was unable to identify available
funds in the Chemical Demilitarization program to reprogram to fund
additional demonstration projects.
In a review of the program's funding, the Committee discovered that
funds had systematically been obligated without being expended and in
some instances funds were unobligated. Rather than facing a shortfall in
funding, the program had over $200,000,000 of Operation and Maintenance
funds unexpended at the end of fiscal year 1998. In light of the
unobligated and unexpended balances available to the Department, the
program growth in the budget request is not justified. The Committee has
extended the availability of Operation and Maintenance funds available
in fiscal year 2000 to the Department of Defense.
Accordingly, the Committee requires the following report: not later
than one hundred and twenty days from enactment of this Act, the
Secretary of Defense shall submit a report to the defense committees
which describes the actions taken to improve budget execution within the
Chemical Demilitarization program. After identifying these actions, the
report shall describe the unexpended obligations and unobligated
balances available within the Chemical Demilitarization program by
activity and fiscal year.

Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USUHS) .--The
Committee recommends $6,300,000 from within Defense Health Program funds
to meet funding requirements for USUHS.
Graduate School of Nursing .--The Committee recommends $2,300,000
for the Graduate School of Nursing to support advanced nursing programs
that contribute to readiness and cost-effective health care delivery to
the uniformed services.
Tri-Service Nursing Research Program .--The Committee recommends
$6,000,000 for the Tri-Service Nursing Research Program. Within these
funds, the Committee encourages the Department to establish an advanced
practice registered nurse program at DoD and DVA facilities that
leverages telehealth and distance learning capabilities. Further, the
Committee encourages the Department to begin funding the Tri-Service
Nursing Research Program in the Department's annual budget.
Center for Disaster Management and Humanitarian Assistance (CDMHA)
.--The Committee recommends $5,000,000 to continue the Center for
Disaster Management and Humanitarian Assistance. Within these funds,
$760,000 is to fund the Casualty Care Research Center.
PACMEDNET .--The Committee recommends $12,000,000 to continue the
support of prototyping, demonstration, validation and maturation of
technology through the PACMEDNET program.
Outcome Driven Health Care and Information Systems for the Military
.--The Committee is aware that due to the nature of military service and
the frequent moves of service members and their families, important
medical information is often scattered, incomplete and disjointed. Most
health care systems treat only the illness at hand, and so it is
difficult if not impossible to assess treatment outcomes over a long
period of time. The Committee encourages the Department to make
available up to $6,000,000 to support the development of a model outcome
driven health care capability by integrating an electronic medical
record and outcome analysis capabilities.
Post-Doctoral Education .--The Committee encourages the Department
to increase and consolidate postdoctoral training for psychologists in
military medical centers with an independent department of psychology.
Childhood Asthma .--The Committee recognizes that asthma continues
to be a potentially devastating disease that leads to high use of
medical resources. The Committee encourages the Army's continued
research in practice guidelines, patient education and self care models
that would facilitate better quality of life and cost effective
outcomes.
Defense Women's Health Research Program .--The Committee recognizes
the importance of this issue and encourages the Department to support
research in this area.
DVA and Tripler Telehealth Programs .--With the co-location of the
Veteran's Administration Hospital at Tripler Army Medical Center, the
Committee encourages the Department and the Veteran's Health
Administration to consolidate and coordinate telehealth programs to
ensure that resources are efficiently applied.
Dual Use Technology Program .--The Committee encourages the Army to
initiate a dual use technology program in the emerging fields of voice
recognition or wireless technology in support of medical applications.
Government Computerized Patient Record (G CPR) .--The Committee
recognizes efforts made on the G CPR and encourages the Department to
select technology savvy environments and existing collaborative
partnerships for pilot implementation.
Graduate School of Nursing .--The Committee encourages USUHS to
provide support to the virtual reality human anatomy program, and to
continue its development as an educational tool with a corresponding
curriculum to enhance educational programs in the military health
system.
Graduate Medical Education (GME) .--The Committee is concerned with
the equitable distribution of funds for graduate medical education for
all health professions, including nursing. The Committee directs the
Department to provide a report by March 1, 2000 on the amount and
distribution of funds spent on graduate medical education.
DOD/DVA Distance Learning Pilot Project .--The Committee encourages
the Department to continue the DoD/DVA distance learning pilot project
to transition clinical nurse specialists to the role of nurse
practitioners. The Committee directs the Department to provide a report
by March 1, 2000, on the progress of this project.
Behavioral Research .--The Committee is concerned with the
continuing erosion of the Department's support for research on
individual and group performance, leadership, communication,
human-machine interfaces, and decision-making. The Committee encourages
an evaluation on the application of behavioral, cognitive and social
science research in the military, and the benefits of this research to
military performance. The Committee directs the Department to provide a
report by March 1, 2000, detailing this evaluation and including a plan
with recommendations to strengthen this research across the military
services.
Containing the Cost of Health Care .--The Committee is concerned
with the continued growth in military health care expenditures, and is
aware of computer-based simulation modeling capability that could
contain health care costs while maintaining health care quality and
access. This modeling would design and evaluate effective health system
reengineering alternatives and develop effective alternative health
management practices and procedures as a means of health cost
containment. The Committee directs the Department to conduct a
comprehensive evaluation of such modeling capability and health care
reengineering, specifically addressing the potential for health care
cost savings, and provide a report to the Committee by March 1, 2000.
Smoking Cessation .--Last year, the Congress granted the Department
the authority to provide effective tobacco cessation products and
counseling for members of the Armed Forces and their dependents,
including retired members, in a manner that does not impose the majority
of the cost on the individual. The Department has established a limited
number of pilot programs to evaluate the effectiveness of this concept.
The Committee directs the Department to substantially increase the
number of pilot programs so that a greater number of individuals could
benefit from this program, with the goal of full access by January,
2001. The Committee directs the Department to submit a report by March
1, 2000 on the status of this pilot program, and a plan to implement a
similar program throughout the Department.
Anthrax Vaccine Adverse Reaction Reporting .--The Committee is
concerned about reports that some service members who receive the
anthrax vaccine through the Department's Anthrax Vaccination
Immunization Program (AVIP) have not had access to methods of reporting,
or may have been discouraged from reporting, adverse reactions
associated with the vaccination. The Centers for Disease Control's
Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS) should be available to
all service members so that there will be an accurate and complete
report of adverse reactions to the anthrax vaccine. The Committee
directs the Department to take all necessary steps to ensure that
service members are fully informed of the VAERS system, and to continue
efforts to design longitudinal follow-up studies of the anthrax vaccine.
The Committee directs the Department to report by March 1, 2000 on the
actions taken to implement this direction.

Research Program (BCRP), and $75,000,000 is for the Prostate Cancer
Research Program (PCRP).
The remaining funds of $50,000,000 are to be made available for peer
reviewed medical research grants and activities. The Committee directs
that the Secretary of Defense, in conjunction with the service Surgeons
General, establish a process to select medical research projects of
clear scientific merit and direct relevance to military health.
Such projects could include: acute lung injury research; advanced
soft tissue modeling; alcohol abuse prevention research; alcoholism
research; brain injury; childhood asthma; cognitive neuroscience;
diabetes; digital mammography imaging; disease management demonstration;
enzymatic wound disinfectants; neurofibromatosis; osteoporosis and bone
disease; ovarian cancer; polynitroxylated hemoglobin; smoking cessation;

provides an additional $20,000,000. This augment reflects a continuing
requirement to adequately fund the National Guard's contribution and the
Committee directs the Department to include this level of funding at a
minimum, commencing with the fiscal year 2001 budget submission.
Of these additional funds, the Committee urges the New Jersey
National Guard to participate in Crack House Demolition and related
missions in the New Jersey High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA).
Drug Free Century Act. --In order to support the initiative outlined
in S. 5, the Drug Free Century Act, to significantly reduce the flow of
cocaine and heroin into the United States, the Committee has provided an
additional $50,000,000 for counterdrug intelligence and infrastructure
support. Additionally, $1,000,000 has been included to fund a study
assessing the utility of an additional Relocatable Over The Horizon
Radar (ROTHR) site to enhance transit and source zone monitoring. The

$6,000,000 for the conduct of marijuana eradication. These funds are to
be used to address marijuana eradication shortfalls in the two States
having the highest rate of outdoor cannabis cultivation as set forth in
a 1996 report prepared by the DEA's Strategic Detection Unit of the
domestic intelligence section.
Gulf States counterdrug initiative .--The Committee has provided an
additional $10,000,000 to support the Gulf States counterdrug initiative
and the Regional Counterdrug Training Academy [RCTA]. These funds will
provide for sustainment and support costs, improvements to the existing
processing and analysis centers in Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, and
Mississippi, modernization and hardware/software upgrades, and a systems
application program.
Civil Air Patrol .--Funds made available to the Civil Air Patrol
[CAP] in the fiscal year 2000 appropriation for Defense Department drug
interdiction activities may be used for CAP's demand reduction program
involving youth programs as well as operational and training drug
reconnaissance missions for Federal, State, and local government
agencies, and for any directly associated administrative costs. The Air
Force should waive reimbursement from Federal, State, and local
government agencies for use of these funds.
Illegal Narcotic Crop Cultivation. --The Committee is aware that the
Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago, IL has well-established
expertise in both evaluating different land-use practices and educating
local governments and non-governmental organizations about sustainable
alternatives to growing narcotic crops. Subsequently, the Committee
encourages the Department to support a Field Museum-sponsored research
and inventory expedition in South America to evaluate the viability of
alternative crops to illegal narcotic crop cultivation.

Sec. 8100. Pacific Disaster Center. --The Committee recommends a new
provision which restates the mission of the Pacific Disaster Center and
provides authority to the Secretary of Defense to establish
public-private partnerships among the Center, government, and
non-government activities to allow PDC to better utilize its products,
information, facilities and knowledge of organizational development of a
disaster information center and other resources. PDC has created
products and services which are of significant value to outside
entities, but, without legislation, the Center cannot sell them. The
Committee is encouraged by the activities of PDC and wants to limit the
amount of federal funding that is required to develop, operate and
maintain the center in the future by affording it the opportunity to
generate external revenue. The Committee expects the PDC to pursue a
long-term structure that provides for its self-sustainment through a
government-owned contractor operated, government corporation,
not-for-profit, public-private partnership, or commercial entity.
To carry out this partnership, the Center would be allowed to seek
and receive funding from different entities to include foreign
governments. PDC may enter into agreements with institutions of higher
education; Federal, State or local government agencies; not-for-profit
entities or other cooperative funded activities; and private or
corporate entities to provide for joint operation and development of
PDC. The Center may also engage in activities and partnerships for
profit, as appropriate and within existing law, in pursuing economic
opportunities domestically and internationally providing emergency
management products and services including operational analysis, systems
engineering, development engineering, training, vulnerability assessment
and consequence modeling, disaster analysis, policy support, management
consultation, infrastructure planning and protection, military and civil
emergency management, humanitarian assistance, and disaster relieve
information support planning and execution and information brokering.
Sec. 8101. Supplemental Funding for Military Personnel.-- Inserts a
new provision which reduces Title I appropriations to reflect amounts
appropriated in H.R. 1141, as enacted.
Sec. 8102. Environmental Contracting.-- Inserts a new provision
which directs limits the funding that can be obligated to indefinite
delivery/indefinite quantity environmental contracts.

Sec. 8104. Combating Terrorism.-- Inserts a new provision
establishing a minimum funding level for counter-terrorism activities.
Sec. 8105. Alcoholic beverages.-- Inserts a provision included in
previous years which directs the local procurement of alcoholic
beverages sold on military installations in States which are not
contiguous.
Sec. 8106. Aircraft Leasing.-- Inserts a provision to provide the
Air Force the necessary authority to negotiate leases for support
aircraft.
Sec. 8107. Spectrum Auctions .--The Committee recommends a provision
that permits the acceleration of certain spectrum auctions, as proposed
by the President.
Sec. 8108. Operation and maintenance and procurement activities
.--The Committee includes a provision that permits the Department to
carry over funds provided in Public Law 105 277 and Public Law 106 31
for operation and maintenance and procurement activities during fiscal
year 2000.
COMPLIANCE WITH PARAGRAPH 7, RULE XVI, OF THE STANDING RULES OF THE
SENATE
Paragraph 7 of rule XVI requires that Committee reports on general
appropriations bills identify each Committee amendment to the House bill
``which proposes an item of appropriation which is not made to carry out
the provisions of an existing law, a treaty stipulation, or an act or
resolution previously passed by the Senate during that session.''
Due to the early Committee action on the fiscal year 1999 Defense
appropriations bill, an original Senate bill was reported by the
Appropriations Committee to the Senate.
At the point when the Committee reports this measure, the Congress
has not completed action on S. 2057, the Fiscal Year 1999 Defense
Authorization Act. As a consequence, the Committee has acted in good
faith in its attempt to comply fully with requirements stipulated under
paragraph 7, rule XVI.
The Committee anticipates that Congress will authorize the amounts
appropriated in this act.
COMPLIANCE WITH PARAGRAPH 7(C), RULE XXVI OF THE STANDING RULES OF THE
SENATE
Pursuant to paragraph 7(c) of rule XXVI, the Committee ordered
reported en bloc, an original fiscal year 2000 Department of Defense
Appropriations bill (S. 1122), the fiscal year 2000 section 302(b)
allocation, and H.R. 1664, by recorded vote of 24 3, a quorum being
present.

bill or joint resolution making the amendment and of the statute or part
thereof proposed to be amended, showing by stricken-through type and
italics, parallel columns, or other appropriate typographical devices
the omissions and insertions which would be made by the bill or joint
resolution if enacted in the form recommended by the committee.''
