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.

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.
OVERSEAS CONTINGENCY OPERATIONS TRANSFER FUND
Despite the concerns of the Committee expressed in Senate Report 106
53, and the requirements set forth in section 8110 of Public Law 106 79,
the Office of the Secretary of Defense has failed to provide adequate
oversight to the planning, programming and budgeting for contingency
operations. The clear intention of the Committee in creating the
Overseas Contingency Operations Transfer Fund (OCOTF) was to provide
ample resources for the conduct of unforeseen contingencies, thereby
protecting the resources provided for training and combat readiness. The
need for OCOTF funding was most acute during those instances when the
budget request failed to acknowledge the protracted duration of U.S.
military operations in the Balkans.
Although the budget request for fiscal year 2001 foresees ongoing
patrolling, policing, and peacekeeping activities, the Office of the
Secretary of Defense (OSD) has abdicated oversight responsibilities for
OCOTF. As Senate Report 106 53 observed, the Readiness panel of the
Quadrennial Defense Review presented several alternatives for the
funding of peacekeeping operations to the Secretary of Defense. The
Secretary chose not to implement any of those alternatives. Current
Department policy for the funding of contingency operations permits the
respective Armed Services to define the incremental contingency costs
within their base programs. During fiscal year 2000 the services used
contingency funds for routine base operations, depot maintenance, real
property maintenance, and planned training. Under the existing OSD
policy, three methodologies (those of the Air Force, and the Navy's
Atlantic and Pacific Fleets), were permitted for determining contingency
flying hour costs. As in past years, the Army was allowed to transfer
funding for operating forces to service administrative activities and
subsequently request additional training funding.
The Department is directed to provide the Committee and the General
Accounting Office reports identifying contingency related expenses no
later than 30 days after the end of each month for which contingency
costs are incurred.
Biometrics Information Assurance program
The Committee recommends additional funding for the biometrics
information assurance program in various service operation and
maintenance accounts. The Department is encouraged to include funding
for this program in future year budget requests.
Container Use Maximization Report
The Committee recognizes the increased use of intermodal containers
in the domestic and international transportation of cargo, and directs
the Department of Defense (DOD) to investigate the logistical and
economic efficiencies that could be achieved through the intermodal
transportation of DOD cargo. The Committee directs the DOD to produce a
report within 1 year from the enactment date of this legislation which
outlines in detail the inventory of DOD-owned container equipment and
its readiness condition, the percentage of equipment that is currently
being containerized, and provides an analysis of the steps taken by the
unified Transportation Command (TRANSCOM) to maximize container usage as
part of the overall sealift operation. The report should also evaluate
the operational procedures and potential economic savings from
TRANSCOM's Master Container Contract with container lessors. Based on
this evaluation the Committee directs DOD to make recommendations for
the future use of long-term leases, container pools, paperwork reduction
through electronic means, and other private sector business practices to
enhance their national security/transport responsibilities and to reduce
cost.

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 Army
transformation, training and maintenance. The Committee recommends
several adjustments to programs with unjustified program growth such as
headquarters increases, and administration.
Unutilized Plant Capacity .--The Committee questions the degree to
which the Army plans to provide a direct cash subsidy to Watervliet
Arsenal, as described in the budget request. The Committee has
reallocated the direct funding for fiscal year 2001 to both Watervliet
and Rock Island Arsenals (an increase of $11,500,000 for Rock Island
Arsenal above the budget request, and a reduction for Watervliet), and
reduced the request for industrial preparedness due to under execution.
The Committee is aware that the Office of the Secretary of Defense has
directed the Army to study the scale and capacity of the arsenals and
ammunition plants, in an effort to mitigate the need for further cash
subsidies. The Army shall provide this report to the Committee no later
than September 15, 2000.
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 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 2001:

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 Secretary of 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.
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.
Recruiting studies .--The Committee continues to support the
recruiting efforts of the armed services. Nevertheless, within the
Department of Defense studies of the recruiting market are manifold. The
Defense Human Resources Activity conducts the Joint Market Research
Program, the Office of the Secretary of Defense conducts studies
regarding policy options for recruiting the college market, and the
Army's Office of Economic and Manpower Analysis studies the recruiting
market and costs. Given the wealth of information available to the
Department, the Committee has adjusted the funding available for
contractor studies to programs of a higher priority.
Charlestown Naval Auxiliary Landing Field .--The Committee
encourages the Corps of the Engineers to complete the remaining
environmental remediation work at this site as expeditiously as
possible.
Mounted Urban Combat Training .--The Committee notes that the
Mounted Urban Combat Training (MUCT) site was dedicated earlier this
year at Fort Knox. The MUCT provides excellent training opportunities
for mounted forces in urban settings, and the Committee strongly
supports increased emphasis on this type of training. Therefore, the
Committee directs the Army to provide an additional $4,000,000 to
further enhance the MUCT's simulation infrastructure.

COMMITTEE ADJUSTMENTS
Program reductions .--The Committee remains concerned with the
growing difficulties experienced by the Navy in sustaining non-deployed
readiness. The Committee has recommended program increases for weapons
maintenance, ship depot maintenance and repair, and the Shipyard
Apprentice program.
Pearl Harbor Navy Shipyard .--The Committee recommends $345,000,000
for the Pearl Harbor Navy shipyard to provide full funding for the
Navy's planned maintenance programs and the shipyard apprenticeship
program. This amount will also include funds to allow for the
introduction of 150 new apprentices and current apprentices to receive
full time pay for the coming year. In the past few years, shipyard
managers have authorized separation benefits to workers on a one for one
replacement with apprentice hires. The Committee does not believe an
apprentice can replace a seasoned shipyard worker initially. Therefore,
the Committee suggests the shipyard should not reduce its more senior
workers at least until the apprentice has completed his or her
apprenticeship. The Committee is also advised that the workforce levels
at the shipyard are approaching a level where the ability to conduct
complex nuclear work packages may be jeopardized. The Committee wants to
be certain that Pearl Harbor maintains the personnel and skills
necessary to conduct the maintenance on nuclear and conventional ships
that is planned for the shipyard to include the possibility of refueling
nuclear submarines. Finally, the Committee understands that on occasion
the Navy is required to use borrowed workers from other shipyards to
manage its personnel. While the Committee does not oppose this policy it
believes it should be used sparingly and it should not exceed an average
of 50 workers per year. In recognition that additional workers are
required to meet currently forecasted ship maintenance and the other
requirements noted here, the Committee directs the Navy to increase the
workforce at the shipyard accordingly.
Pacific Missile Range Facility .--The Committee recommends
$54,500,000 for base and range operations at the Pacific Missile Range
Facility. This amount is $20,000,000 above the level requested. In
recognition of the crucial role PMRF will have for the Navy's TBMD
programs, fleet training and other test and evaluation efforts, the
Committee directs the Navy to program no less than this amount for the
range in the coming years. The Committee is aware of the potable water,
flood control, wastewater systems, and related infrastructures that are
potentially disruptive to base operations and therefore, recommends
$3,000,000 to repair, operate and maintain this complex water system
upon which PMRF depends.
Hunter's Point Naval Shipyard .--The Committee is concerned about
the status of environmental remediation at Hunter's Point, San
Francisco. The Committee directs the Department of the Navy, in
conveying parcels of Hunters Point to the city of San Francisco, to take
all necessary steps, funding and otherwise, to ensure the timely
remediation of hazardous substances on these parcels in accordance with
Federal and State regulatory standards, including CERCLA, to a level
consistent with the range of uses in the city's adopted redevelopment
plan as incorporated in the Navy's final environmental baseline survey.
The Secretary of the Navy is directed to report to the Appropriations
Committee no later than January 15, 2001, on the status of the
conveyance and remediation of this property.
Naval Training Internship Program .--The Committee supports the
Naval Training Program begun by four San Diego area Navy commands and
six educational agencies. The Navy is directed to support this effort to
teach and develop a skilled work force.

Program shortfalls .--The Committee observes that the budget request
for Marine Corps expeditionary forces readiness is below the levels
appropriated in fiscal year 2000. Past funding shortfalls in Navy and
Marine Corps non-deployed readiness activities continue to degrade the
readiness of deploying units.

COMMITTEE ADJUSTMENTS
B 52 Attrition Reserve Aircraft .--Despite the clear direction
provided by the Congress in Section 8107 of Public Law 106 79, the Air
Force failed to adequately fund the total inventory of B 52s during
fiscal year 2001. The Committee has provided sufficient funds in the
operation and maintenance, procurement and military personnel
appropriations to support a force structure of 94 aircraft. The
Committee directs the Air Force to treat all 94 B 52s now in the force
structure as aircraft to be retained for the 6-year period beginning
October 1, 2000. Furthermore, the Committee notes with extreme
displeasure the Air Force's failure to comply with current law regarding
funding of B 52s and reiterates that the 94 B 52s must be funded
throughout the FYDP in subsequent budget requests. Finally, the
Committee directs the Air Force to procure during the FYDP sufficient
kits to ensure that all 94 aircraft receive the same modifications and
upgrades.
College/Officer candidate initiative .--The Committee provides
$1,500,000 for the Air Force to establish a program to target
individuals for recruitment and participation in college funding and
officer candidate programs who were nominated for appointment to the Air
Force Academy. These young men and women have demonstrated their
commitment to military service, and the Secretary should work to
identify opportunities to engage and attract these individuals to
available programs that provide advanced education and the opportunity
to pursue military service, or subsequent admission to the Academy.
89th Air Wing .--The Committee has been informed that passenger
cabin noise levels in some of the 89th Air wings aircraft are higher
than anticipated. The Committee directs the Air Force to examine this
matter, and if warranted, provide funding for the purchase of noise
reducing, commercial off the shelf headsets for the fleet.
Civil Air Patrol .--The Committee directs that the Air Force, in
cooperation with the Civil Air Patrol (CAP), report back by April 1,
2001 on the status of the relationship between the organizations and the
governance and management of CAP. The report should address at a
minimum: the cost of Air Force oversight of CAP, the cost of overhead in
CAP, concerns and recommendations of the General Accounting Office and
Department of Defense Inspector General, and any reductions to funding
recommended for counter-drug and other CAP programs.

COMMITTEE ADJUSTMENTS
Exercise Northern Edge .--The Committee commends the Joint Staff for
funding exercise Northern Edge in fiscal year 2001 as a part of the
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff exercise program. The Secretary of
Defense shall transfer the appropriate level of funds from CJCS exercise
funds to the service operation and maintenance accounts to fund the
incremental costs of the exercise.
Defense Threat Reduction Agency .--The Committee recommends that the
Defense Threat Reduction Agency provide financial support in the amount
of $100,000 to the annual Arms Control Conference hosted by the
Cooperative Monitoring Center at Sandia National Laboratories.
Legacy Program .--The Committee provides $15,000,000 for
continuation of the Legacy program. Of interest to the Committee are
several important recovery and preservation projects. The Committee
supports the work of the Naval Historical Center underwater archaeology
program, and its work to preserve the naval history in the Lake
Champlain basin. Of the funds provided for the Legacy program, the
Committee includes funding for the efforts of the Navy to preserve these
important artifacts, including revolutionary war gunboats.
Of equal importance to the Committee is the recovery and preservation
of three Civil War vessels: the H.L. Hunley , a Civil War submarine; the
U.S.S. Monitor , a Civil War ironclad warship; and, the C.S.S. Alabama ,
a Civil War commerce raider.
Survivability program .--If funds become available during the
execution year, the Committee supports funding of the National Security
and Civilian Infrastructure Weapons Survivability Program. This program
is needed to determine the implications of adversarial efforts to
intentionally disrupt national security and civilian-based
infrastructures, and to commence planning for effective protection and
mitigation.
Strategic Technology Assessment Program .--The Committee supports
the Strategic Technology Assessment Program. This program has produced
significant results in tracking the effects of foreign technology
development, particularly non-traditional military systems development
based on commercially created technology. The Strategic Technology
Assessment Program is an important compliment to traditional
intelligence gathering techniques. It is meeting the immediate needs of
the Commander-in-Chiefs (CINCs) and other Department of Defense (DoD)
elements. However, there is a long-term requirement to provide funding
to build the infrastructure to sustain this program. The Committee
recommends the DoD continue to support this program and provide
sustainment funding in the future.

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. It is the
Committee's intent that all real property maintenance funding provided
to the Army National Guard is intended for the repair of real property
and real property facilities not for diversion to other requirements.
The Committee directs the Chief of the National Guard Bureau provide to
the Committee of Appropriations a report detailing how all funds
appropriated for real property maintenance to the Army National Guard
will be allocated not later than April 15, 2001.
Fort Harrison, MT, infrastructure improvements .--Of the funds
provided under this heading for real property maintenance, the Committee
directs that $2,000,000 be used for infrastructure improvements.
Distributive training technology program.-- The Committee provides
an increase of $65,700,000 in the Army National Guard ``Operation and
maintenance'' appropriation and $29,100,000 in the ``Other procurement,
Army Information System'' appropriation for distributed learning
requirements. The Committee continues to support this program which has
greatly expanded availability effectiveness and efficiency of training
through distance learning. The project has also enhanced command and
control capabilities for units in the field, ensuring prompt,
coordinated responses to Federal and State emergencies.
The Committee directs that funding for the distributed learning
initiative 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 this program in fiscal year 2001 not later than
February 15, 2001.
The Committee recognizes the potential of distributed simulations as
part of distributed learning, and is impressed with the unique
capabilities and plans of the Consolidated Interactive Virtual
Information Center (CIVIC). The Committee urges the National Guard
bureau to consider the programs of CIVIC in allocating the additional
funds provided for distributed learning.
Homeland Defense Initiative, Camp Gruber, OK and Camp Dawson, WV
.--The Committee directs the Chief of the National Guard Bureau to
conduct a feasibility study to assess the establishment of combat
training centers for local, State and Federal entities in response to
weapons of mass destruction (WMD) threats at Camp Gruber, OK and Camp
Dawson, WV. This report should focus on WMD, first responder, urban
combat and counterdrug training and other areas that will prepare
organizations to respond to these important national security threats.
The report should be provided to the congressional defense committees by
March 5, 2001.
Computer emergency response teams .--The Committee remains concerned
about the security of key national security computer systems. Due to the
shortage of qualified computer programmers and systems operators
throughout the nation, the military is having trouble attracting and
retaining qualified personnel to carry out this critical mission. The
reserve component, especially the National Guard, is well positioned to
carry out this mission. The Committee urges the Department of Defense to
examine the role of the reserves in the carrying out information
operations, information assurance and information security missions.

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.
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.
Angel Gate Academies .--The Committee understands that the Angel
Gate program is a pro-active intervention program conducted in
conjunction with school districts. The program addresses the unique
needs of middle schools students who are seriously at-risk with the
legal system. The Committee directs the Assistant Secretary of Defense
for Reserve Affairs report to the Appropriations Committee whether this
program should be included in the Department's civil-military program no
later than February 15, 2001. This report should also address whether
this program should be expanded to additional locations.
819th Red Horse Squadron .--The Air Force directed the stand-up of a
new, total force, Rapid Engineer-Deployable Heavy Operations-Repair
Squadron Engineer (Red Horse) unit, effective August 8, 1997. The Red
Horse provides the Air Force's heavy construction and repair capability,
supporting combat air power and contingency operations worldwide. It
represents a true partnership between the active Air Force and the Air
National Guard. Since its activation, the squadron has been continually
deployed throughout the world in support of contingencies and major
defense exercises. The Committee has learned that the unit is not
authorized the Red Horse vehicle authorization provided other Red Horse
squadrons. This has resulted in a degraded combat and training
capability for this unit. The Committee directs the Secretary of the Air
Force report to the Appropriations Committees on the plan and time line
to provide this standard vehicle allowance to the 819th Squadron by
October 15, 2000.
C\4\ Infrastructure Requirements for C 17 Beddown .--The Committee
is aware that the Air Force has identified requirements to support the
beddown on C 17 aircraft at the 172nd Airlift Wing. The Committee
strongly endorses these upgrades in support of fielding this aircraft to
the Air National Guard. The Committee expects the Air Force to provide
the requisite funding necessary to satisfy these requirements. The
Committee directs the Secretary of the Air Force to provide a plan and
time line for satisfying these funding commitments to the Committee on
Appropriations by November 15, 2000.

of $1,313,181,000. This is $43,000,000 above the budget estimate.
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.
Museum of the Rockies .--The Committee understands that the
Department of Defense recently announced that the Museum of the Rockies,
on the Montana State University campus in Bozeman, Montana, will be one
of three pilot projects to house and display government-owned curation
objects. This facility will be linked with a public data resource center
facilitating access by the public, students and researchers. The
Committee directs the Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for
Environmental Security provide a report on the Department's plan to fund
and build this facility, and the overall construction schedule, to
include the DD form 1391, to the Appropriations Committees by October 1,
2000.

Formerly used defense sites [FUDS] .--The Committee is disappointed
that the Department of Defense does not consider adequate funding for
the FUDS account a high priority. For example, in the fiscal year 2001
budget request, the proposed funding is $54,000,000 less than the amount
enacted last year. This lack of funding support further exacerbates the
tremendous backlog of nationwide FUDS sites. Additionally, there are
approximately 120 150 new properties/projects added to the program each
year. The program is also faced with increased regulatory and public
pressure to expand the scope and level of many cleanups. The total
investment required to complete the program is now estimated to be
$7,340,000,000. The Committee directs the Department to review the
proposed FUDS funding in the Future Year Defense Program to maintain a
level of Departmental support consistent with overall program
requirements. The Committee commends the Army and the Corps of Engineers
for their management of this program and provides an additional
$45,000,000 to reduce the number of FUDS requiring investigation and
remediation.
Building demolition and debris removal .--To minimize mobilization
costs at remote sites, the Department may perform building demolition
and debris removal at Formerly Used Defense Sites as appropriate, using
fiscal year 2001 funds available under this heading.
OVERSEAS HUMANITARIAN, DISASTER, AND CIVIC AID
Appropriations, 2000 $55,800,000
Budget estimate, 2001 64,900,000
Committee recommendation 55,900,000
The Committee recommends an appropriation of $55,900,000 for
humanitarian assistance, foreign disaster relief and humanitarian
demining programs. Current rates of program growth for Overseas
Humanitarian, Disaster and Civic Aid activities outpace those for the
combat training of the operational forces. The request is reduced by
$9,000,000, none of which shall be allocated to humanitarian demining
activities, to reflect congressional priorities, as recommended in the
Senate bill authorizing programs of the Department of Defense for fiscal
year 2001.
FORMER SOVIET UNION THREAT REDUCTION
Appropriations, 2000 $460,500,000
Budget estimate, 2001 458,400,000
Committee recommendation 458,400,000
The Committee appropriates $458,400,000, the budget estimate, for
this program.
Russian nuclear submarine dismantlement and disposal .--The
Committee directs that $25,000,000 of the funds provided for the Former
Soviet Union Threat Reduction Program be used to support Russian nuclear
submarine dismantlement and disposal activities begun in fiscal year
1998. The Committee further directs that a status report regarding this
program be provided to the Committee not later than February 15, 2001.

Bradley base sustainment .--The Committee recommends an increase of
$3,000,000 to the Bradley base sustainment line for the procurement of
Bradley test sets.
Army Transformation .--The Committee is encouraged by the desire of
the Army Chief of Staff to transform the Army into a lighter, more
responsive fighting force capable of deploying anywhere in the world in
less time than ever before. The Committee is further encouraged by the
Army's desire to build a force which optimizes commonality of components
and subsystems to reduce sustainment and logistical requirements.
The Committee urges the Army to choose platforms for both the Interim
Armored Vehicle variant and Mobile Gun System which reduce start up
costs, reduce the overall logistics burden, and reduces or even
eliminates, capital investment requirements to the Army. The Committee
expects that the Army will choose a system which takes advantage of
current technology in the industrial base and builds upon the prior and
ongoing investments the Army has made in the field of armored vehicles.
Items less than $5,000,000 (WOCV WTCV) .--The Committee recommends
an increase of $10,000,000 to procure Product Improved Combat Vehicle
Crewman's Headsets (PICVC), which have greater electro-magnetic
interference (EMI) protection than current systems.
Heavy Assault Bridge (HAB) .--The Committee is discouraged by the
Army's decision to cut the Wolverine Heavy Assault Bridge from the
budget. The Heavy Assault Bridge was designed to take the place of the
aging, less capable Armored Vehicle Launch Bridge (AVLB). However, the
Army has decided to terminate this modernization program, which was
fully funded by Congress, in favor of retaining the less capable,
antiquated AVLB.
The Committee finds it ironic that the Army is asking for an
increased quantity of its main battle tank, the M 1A2 SEP, the most
capable, advanced tank in the world, yet the bridging asset used by the
modern tank force remains a relic of the Korean War era.
The AVLB, by the Army's own admission, has a limited mission profile,
is unable to keep up with the force, has a limited gap crossing,
maintains a mid-80 percentile readiness rating and relies on parts which
are no longer available.
With the average age of the AVLB fleet at over 22 years, the
Committee's confidence level remains low that this aging asset can keep
pace with the most modern, lethal tank force in the world. The Committee
is optimistic that the Army will restore funding for the Heavy Assault
Bridge in its Future Year Defense Plan, and therefore restores
$77,000,000 to the Heavy Assault Bridge. Additionally, the Committee
directs the Army to restore all funding to the HAB training devices as
well.
The Committee urges the Army to continue with a plan that is more
responsible and realistic in the future with regard to bridging assets.

Worker Health and Safety .--The Committee is concerned that workers
at various military installations may have been exposed to radioactive
and hazardous substances. The Committee is further concerned that
workers at a particular site, both past and current, may be unable or
unwilling to discuss these exposures with their health care providers or
other appropriate officials due to secrecy oaths or policies. Therefore,
the Committee encourages the Department of Defense to review its current
policies to insure that workers who may have been exposed to radioactive
and hazardous materials, are able to discuss those exposures with their
health care providers or other appropriate officials. The Secretary of
Defense shall submit a report to the Congressional Defense Committees by
March 1, 2001 which addresses these policies.

Warfighter Information Network .--The Committee recommends an
increase of $63,000,000 to procure additional AN/TTC 56 single shelter
switches with associated support assemblages and network management
capability.
Lightweight Maintenance Enclosure (LME) .--The Committee recommends
an additional $4,600,000 in the Lightweight Maintenance Enclosure (LME)
program.
STAR T .--The Committee remains concerned that the STAR T program
has continued to experience problems in its IOT&E. The Committee is
additionally concerned that the STAR T was not ready to start
Operational Testing due to software failures. The Milestone III decision
has slipped again, and the Committee is concerned that the program
remains in jeopardy of falling further behind. The Committee looks
forward to working with the Army and anticipates certification by the
Secretary of the Army that the program no longer has any software
integration problems. The Committee recommends freezing the fiscal year
2001 request at the fiscal year 2000 amount, a reduction of $24,300,000.
SMART T .--The Committee is concerned that the Secure Mobile
Anti-jam Reliable Tactical Terminal (SMART T) program has experienced
problems demonstrating reliability test values necessary to award the
fiscal year 2000 contract option. The Committee is further concerned
that the fiscal year 2000 funds are unexecutable and therefore
recommends a rescission of $29,300,000. Additionally, the Committee also
recommends freezing the fiscal year 2001 request at the fiscal year 2000
amount, a reduction of $16,794,000.
FSCATT .--In fiscal year 2000, Congress appropriated $24,400,000 to
continue procurement of an additional 16 Fire Support Combined Arms
Tactical Trainers (M109A6 HCT). The Committee is concerned that the Army
has reduced procurement of FSCATT to 10 devices, counter to previous
Congressional intent. The Committee expects the Army to restore such
funding as necessary from fiscal year 2000 funds to complete the
procurement of 16 FSCATT devices. FSCATT is an important system for
training reserve component organizations with limited access to live
fire gunnery.
Global Broadcast System .--The Committee is concerned with the delay
of the Global Broadcast System program and is not confident that the
schedule will be able to support the procurement of the Tactical Ground
Receive Suites.
CCTT .--The Committee is concerned that the Close Combat Tactical
Trainer has not passed a Follow On Test and Evaluation to date. The CCTT
has been evaluated as not suitable in the past. The Committee is
encouraged by the progress made with regard to image generation, but
still remains concerned that testing has not been completed. The
Committee recommends a reduction of $60,845,000, and encourages the
continued procurement of image generation equipment.
Training Devices, Nonsystem .--The Committee recommends an addition
of $7,000,000 for the procurement of Multiple Integrated Laser
Engagement System 2000 (MILES 2000) equipment and associated
communication support to provide a fully capable training site for
Northern Edge and other service and joint exercises.
Night Vision Equipment .--The Committee recommends an additional
$45,000,000 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/PEQ 2A, AN/PAC 4C
Target Pointer Illuminator Aiming Lights (TPIAL), AN/PVS 7 NVD, 25MDRVmm
I2 tubes, AN/PAS 13 Thermal Weapon Sight.

F 14 Upgrade .--The recommendation includes an increase of
$1,000,000 only for the procurement of F 14 radar warning receiver (RWR)
antennas and system upgrades. The Committee has also included an
increase of $1,000,000 only for development, integration and test costs
associated with this project to replace the RWR antennas and to make
other necessary modifications for improved F 14 RWR performance. The
Committee has learned that simply replacing the current antennas with an
existing antenna could improve the performance of the F 14 RWR and thus
enhance the pilot's situation awareness in a threat environment. The
Committee directs that the Navy proceed with this upgrade for all active
duty F 14 aircraft.
E 2C .--In fiscal year 1999, the Committee endorsed the E 2C
multi-year procurement and fully funded the production program in fiscal
year 1999 and fiscal year 2000. The Committee continues to support the
Navy's E 2C inventory requirement, recognizing the essential
contribution made by the E 2C to fleet operations. Other nations have
also recognized the value of the E 2C, and recently three aircraft were
purchased through the Foreign Military Sales (FMS) program.
However, these FMS purchases combined with the DoD multi-year
procurement have the potential to disrupt the steady operations of the E
2C production line. Therefore, the Committee has deleted one E 2C
aircraft from the fiscal year 2001 request. This action, similar to the
Air Force budget proposal to stabilize the C 17 production rate in light
of international C 17 sales, will maintain a steady production rate for
the E 2C. Further, this recommendation will potentially extend the life
of the E 2C production line, giving the United States and its allies the
opportunity to reevaluate future E 2C inventory requirements.

Aerial Targets .--The budget request contains $58,900,000 for aerial
targets, of which $27,200,000 was for procurement of a BQM 74 type
aerial target system. The Committee is aware of the Navy's plan to
conduct a competition in fiscal year 2001 to develop and procure the T
21 target system to satisfy future weapon system test and evaluation and
training requirements. The Committee has learned of the Navy's plan to
conduct a competition for replacing the existing BQM 74 target system
which does not seem prudent from either a cost effectiveness or
technological perspective. Furthermore, the Navy has already invested in
a substantial logistics infrastructure for the BQM 74 to support its
five operating sites. To avoid the costs associated with qualifying a
different target system and establishing a new infrastructure merely to
support an interim target, the Committee directs the Navy to continue to
procure the BQM 74 target until the next generation target becomes
operational.

COMPLETION OF PY SHIPBUILDING PROGRAMS 263,000 -263,000
LPD 17 program .--The LPD 17 program has experienced significant
cost growth and schedule delay. The Navy's current estimate on cost
growth is $285,000,000 on the first four ships with a schedule delay of
10 months on the lead ship. The Committee believes these estimates to be
very conservative and understands that the Office of the Secretary of
Defense's estimates are higher. Due to these schedule and cost
challenges, the Committee has deferred the two LPD 17 class ships
included in the budget request. The Committee endorses the Marine Corps
requirement for 12 LPD 17 class ships. However, not unlike the C 17 and
the THAAD missile programs, the Committee believes that a pause in
procurement will allow the Navy and the contractors the time to complete
the ship design and develop a credible construction plan that will
control costs and maintain schedule. The Committee has included
$285,000,000 for LPD 17 program cost growth and $200,000,000 in advance
procurement for two LPD 17 class ships in fiscal year 2002.
The Committee has also included a provision that provides the
authority for the Secretary of the Navy to award production contracts
for LPD 21 and LPD 22 which shall be funded on an incremental basis.
Shipbuilding Transfers .--The Committee has included a provision
which provides the Secretary of the Navy the authority to transfer
$300,000,000 from Department of the Navy appropriations to any Navy ship
construction appropriation in order to liquidate necessary ship cost
changes for previous ship construction programs. The Committee directs
that these funds be allocated for the following requirements:
Virginia Class Submarine $119,000,000
CVN 87,000,000
DDG 51 17,000,000

Committee recommendation 3,400,180,000
The Committee recommends an appropriation of $3,400,180,000 for the
Navy's fiscal year 2001 ``Other procurement'' account, an increase of
$65,569,000 from the budget request.
This appropriation finances the procurement of major equipment and
weapons other than ships, aircraft, missiles, torpedoes, and guns.
Equipment ranges from the latest electronic sensors for updating of
naval forces to trucks, training equipment, and spare parts.

Other navigation equipment .--The Committee recommends an additional
$7,000,000 for the procurement and installation of additional AN/WSN 7
navigation sets. The Committee also recommends an increase of $8,000,000
for the procurement of the Navy's Military Sealift Command thermal
imaging technology for use in improved ship navigation and force
protection of the MSC fleet.
Items less than $5,000,000 .--The Committee recommends an additional
$4,500,000 for procurement and installation of the integrated condition
assessment system (ICAS) for ships.
Naval Shore Communications .--The Committee is concerned that the
construction of these facilities is premature prior to a decision by the
Navy and Marine Corps as to what the fielding schedule will be for the
NMCI. These facilities may be unneeded after a determination by the
Department of the Navy and any construction prior to a decision
regarding NMCI may prove to be redundant and duplicative of ongoing
commercial entities. Accordingly, the Committee recommends a reduction
of sites in the Caribbean, Far East and European regions and a reduction
of $14,400,000 in fiscal year 2001 funding.
Pacific Missile Range Support Equipment .--The Committee recommends
$10,500,000 for a new program to support the Pacific Missile Range
Facility (PMRF). The Committee notes that several million dollars in
enhancements to tracking instrumentation at the PMRF have been made in
recent years to ensure adequate testing of the Navy Theater Ballistic
Missile Defense program and other on-going programs at the range. With
the development and installation of this equipment comes a requirement
for software documentation, drawings, and integration into the PMRF
instrumentation suite. In addition, many of the enhancements require
environmental, electronic emissions and other site analyses. The
recommendation includes $3,000,000 for this purpose and $7,500,000 for
the purchase of a Mobile Remote Emitter System. The Committee directs
that this funding shall be managed and executed directly by PMRF.

C 17 .--The Committee has fully funded the budget request amount for
C 17 aircraft procurement, C 17 advanced procurement, and C 17 interim
contractor support. However, the Committee recommendation transfers the
C 17 program to the ``National Defense Airlift Fund'' account and
appropriates all requested funds within this account.
C 130 Modifications .--The Committee provides $7,500,000 for the
acquisition and establishment of a public/private initiative to make
available lower cost C 130 simulated training for Air Force, Air
National Guard, Coast Guard and commercial C 130 operators. The
Secretary of the Air Force shall report to the House and Senate
Committees on Appropriations on the potential acquisition of existing
simulators to support this effort, and the location of the simulator
training site to support the Pacific Air Forces.
C 5 .--The Committee has approved the budget request amount,
$95,401,000, for C 5 modifications. The request included $59,600,000 for
the C 5 Avionics Modernization Program. During the Committee's April 26,
2000 hearing, General Shelton testified, ``We are in the process right
now of taking a look at the long-term cost of the C 5 and doing an
analysis of alternatives in terms of whether or not we should continue
to pour money into an element of the C 5 fleet, the C 5 Alpha, the older
version of the C 5, or whether or not it would be more cost-effective
over the long term to start converting, phasing them out and the
replacing them with C 17s. That is an ongoing study right now.''
Accordingly, the Committee directs that the appropriated funds are
available only for modification of C 5B aircraft.
Commando Solo. --The Committee directs the Secretary of the Air
Force to conduct an analysis of options for effective airframe
alternatives to accomplish the Commando Solo mission, to include the
investigation of cost effective, commercial aircraft replacement
options. This report shall be provided to the congressional defense
committees not later than February 15, 2001.

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.
ELECTRONIC WARFARE MODERNIZATION
Department of Defense Electronic Warfare Plan .--The Committee is
concerned that many of the Defense Department's active and reserve
fighter aircraft have inadequate radar warning receivers. Most fighter
aircraft have no infrared warning systems. However, it is clear to
adversaries that U.S. forces rely on the ability to achieve air
dominance. Further, these adversaries have greater access than ever to
anti-aircraft missile systems with advanced seeker technologies.
While future aircraft are being designed with protection systems, we
cannot afford to leave today's forces ill-equipped to face the threat.
While data links and information from other sensors can contribute to a
pilot's situation awareness, it is not clear this will be adequate for a
pilot to avoid an unexpected threat. Our deployed forces face these
threats today, and the Defense Department needs to jointly prepare for
tomorrow.
The Committee believes these matters merit careful review by the
Department of Defense and the Congress. As a step toward this
reassessment, the Committee directs that the fiscal year 2002 Electronic
Warfare Plan include a section identifying the existing and projected
surface-to-air and air-to-air threat systems which our forces may
confront. The report should provide a brief analysis of each system's
capability and potential for enhancement.
In addition to outlining U.S. threat warning and self-protection
systems, the report should provide a specific assessment of each
system's capability against the current and projected threats. Finally,
the report should detail the annual funding for each EW program in the
Future Years Defense Program budget. The Committee directs that this
report be provided no later than April 1, 2001.
RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT, TEST, AND EVALUATION, ARMY
Appropriations, 2000 $5,266,601,000
Budget estimate, 2001 5,260,346,000
Committee recommendation 5,683,675,000
The Committee recommends an appropriation of $5,683,675,000 for the
Army's research, development, test, and evaluation programs, an increase
of $423,329,000 to the budget request. The budget activities and
programs funded under this appropriation are discussed below.
Mortar Anti-Personnel/Anti-Material (MAPAM) .--The Committee has
previously directed 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 M720
ammunition. The Committee is aware that funding previously provided is
inadequate to the task and; therefore, recommends $5,000,000 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.
Man-in-the-Loop Command Activation Feature .--The Committee strongly
supports the development of the Man-In-The-Loop non-self-destruct
alternative landmine system, and has provided funds to accelerate its
deployment. However, the Committee is concerned that the Department is
considering including a command activation feature, and directs the
Department to consult with the Committee prior to any decision to
obligate funds for the development of such a feature.
Modernized Hellfire .--The Committee understands that the Army is
considering moving toward a ``common'' chemical energy missile in the
future and that Modernized Hellfire is intended to be the baseline
program to achieve this worthy goal. However, it is noted that no funds
are programmed in this budget to proceed in this direction. Accordingly,
the Army is directed to ensure that these fiscal year 2001 RDTE funds
are used, in part, to perform a program definition study to determine
the potential of a ``common'' ground and air-to-ground missile. The Army
is encouraged to provide a ``common missiles'' program funding line in
the next budget submission.
Low Cost Interceptor .--The Committee recommends $9,000,000 for the
Low Cost Interceptor (LCI). The express purpose is to evaluate
conceptual designs, fabricate, and test component missile hardware.
SMDC Battlelab .--The Committee recommends that the Battlelab
consider the establishment of an internal Space Technology Integration
Center (STIC). The STIC would serve the important function of
integrating and migrating varied space assets throughout the Army and
promoting more comprehensive utilization of these systems in all combat
applications.
Objective Crew-Served Weapon (OCSW) .--The OCSW may represent the
single biggest advance in dismounted firepower since the invention of
the machine gun. As the Army tries to maintain a significant firepower
advantage in its lighter, more-mobile force, fielding this weapon is
even more critical. The Committee is troubled that there is not more
visible support for the program within the Army. The Committee
recommends $5,000,000 to the Joint Service Small Arms Program
specifically to accelerate development and deployment of the OCSW.
Within 60 days of passage of this legislation, the Committee directs the
Army to provide a report on the status of the program.
Management Headquarters .--The Committee recommends $8,371,000 for
Management Headquarters, of which $3,000,000 is to support the Akamai
project. This is a reduction of $20,000,000 from fiscal year 2000. Of
this amount, the Committee recommends $2,000,000 to continue the ongoing
cooperative agreement with an institution of higher learning, and
$1,000,000 to continue telehealth activities and advanced concept
technology demonstrations. The Committee notes that the program has
large unobligated balances as has been slow in awarding contracts for
projects of special interest to the Committee.
Crusader .--The Committee directs the Army to refocus Crusader as a
technology program to further artillery evolution within the Future
Combat Systems program. The Committee provides $200,000,000 in support
of the Army's effort to develop and acquire an effective direct fire
artillery system compatible with the Transformation Initiative.
Combat rations .--The Committee is aware of an effort by the
National Center for Food Safety and Technology in Summit-Argo, Illinois
to address important food safety issues with regard to combat rations.
Specifically, the National Center will focus its research on high
pressure processing of low acid foods used in meals ready to eat. The
Committee encourages the Department to continue its cooperative research
agreement with the National Center and to provide adequate funding for
both research and facility rehabilitation.
mdbo mdnmThreat Mine Virtual Simulatormdbo mdnm.--Of the funds
appropriated for Threat Mine Virtual Simulator, not less than $200,000
shall be set aside for the Advanced Cognitive Reasoning Technology
Development Program.
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 2001.

Appropriations, 2000 $9,110,326,000
Budget estimate, 2001 8,476,677,000
Committee recommendation 8,812,070,000
The Committee recommends an appropriation of $8,812,070,000 for the
Navy's research, development, test, and evaluation programs, an increase
of $335,393,000 to the budget request.
The budget activities and programs funded under this appropriation
are discussed below.
Applied Communications and Information Networking Program (ACIN)
.--The Committee recognizes that communications and networking
technologies are critical to Department of Defense (DoD) command and
control, cooperative engagement, precision strike, intelligence
dissemination, logistics, and day-to-day business operations. The
Committee also recognizes that most advanced technology developments in
these areas emerge from commercial industry. To promote increased
partnering between commercial industry and the DoD in these
technologies, the Committee recommends $15,000,000 for the Applied
Communications and Information Networking Program at the Center for
Telecommunications and Information Networking at Drexel University in
Camden, New Jersey.
National Technology Alliance Program (NTA) .--The Committee has
supported expansion of the National Technology Alliance (NTA) program
from the Intelligence Community to the Defense Department in fiscal year
1999 and fiscal year 2000. The efforts that have been undertaken by the
NTA's component laboratories, consisting of the National Media
Laboratory (NML), the National Information Display Laboratory (NIDL) and
the National Center for Applied Technology in support of the Navy are
what was envisioned. The assessment and application of commercially
developed advanced information technologies to naval operations and
systems have already saved unnecessary R&D investments. Ongoing efforts
hold the promise of greater savings and increased effectiveness. The
Committee recommends an additional $15,000,000 for the NTA program. The
Committee further wishes to see the Assistant Secretary of the Navy for
Research, Development and Acquisition oversee and guide this
department-wide program and to insure that the Navy adequately programs
for the NTA in future.
Vectored Thrust Ducted Propeller .--The Committee provides an
increase of $3,200,000 for the Vectored Thrust Ducted Propeller (VTDP)
Compound Helicopter flight demonstration to mitigate the added cost of
the Navy's changes in contracting strategy, demonstration platform,
ground and flight testing requirements. In accordance with the Navy's
prior year commitments to Congress to flight test this technology, the
Committee expects the Navy to address the balance of any funding
shortfall as part of the fiscal year 2002 budget process. The Committee
understands the Air Force has expressed interest in the Navy's VTDP
Compound Helicopter demonstration effort, and recommends the Navy work
with the Air Force to ensure that joint Combat Rescue requirements are
addressed as part of this demonstration.
Theater Air and Missile Defense .--The Committee is aware of the
Navy's attempts to define a comprehensive Theater Air and Missile
Defense Program, linking theater missile defense, overland cruise
missile defense, with a robust battlespace management C\4\I capability.
To accelerate this effort, the Committee recommends an increase of
$15,000,000 for the E 2C RMP littoral surveillance program and
$10,000,000 for Cooperative Engagement Capability P\3\I efforts to link
the UESA radar and other sensors with CEC.
Anti-Armor Weapons System (SMAW Follow on LOSET) .--The Committee
continues to support work begun last year on the LOSET technology in
support of the Shoulder-Launched Multi-purpose Assault Weapon (SMAW) and
its relevance to the Follow On To SMAW (FOTS) effort in the Marine
Corps. This promising technology will provide the Marine Corps with a
fire from enclosure capability in a ``soft launch'' environment that is
safe for the users. The current effort is limited to the investigation
of the LOSET application to the High Explosive Dual Purpose warhead. The
Committee is aware that the FOTS requirement is for a family of warheads
to include but not limited to smoke, flechette and concussion. Based on
the success of the program to date and the need for additional warheads
R&D, the Committee has added $3,000,000 to continue and expand the LOSET
effort in support of FOTS.
Science and Technology Funding .--The Committee is concerned about
inadequate funding for Science and Technology by the Navy for future
technological needs and the growing diversion of resources from long
term investment to short term expenditures. The Committee is especially
concerned about technologies which need to be supported over the
long-term because they: (1) Are essential national naval
responsibilities; (2) have the potential to have a major impact on the
Navy After Next; and (3) are not likely to be supported by the private
sector. An important set of technologies which falls into this category
is Naval Ship Technologies which includes: Hydrodynamics; machinery,
electrical and propulsion systems; stealth; ship protection and
structures; and advanced seaborne materials. To maintain U.S.
technological superiority in these areas, the Committee recommends that
the Administration give serious consideration to the relationship
between increased and consistent funding in science and technology and
the maintenance of U.S. technology superiority, and reflects these
considerations in future budget submissions and FYDPs. The Committee
notes the critical importance of the work being done at the Carderock
Division of the Naval Sea Systems Command and believes that a larger
percent of the Navy science and technology needs to be directed toward
this area in the future.
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 2001.

Budget estimate, 2001 13,685,576,000
Committee recommendation 13,931,145,000
The Committee recommends an appropriation of $13,931,145,000 for the
Air Force's research, development, test, and evaluation programs, an
increase of $245,569,000 to the budget request.
The budget activities and programs funded under this appropriation
are discussed below.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED ADJUSTMENTS
Defense Support Program .--The Committee is aware of the early
success of an on-going program under DSP called the High Accuracy
Network Determination System (HANDS) and directs that $2,000,000 of the
funds provided in this program be available to continue the HANDS
program.
Maui Space Surveillance System .--The Committee recommends
$19,625,000 for the Maui Space Surveillance System. This funding will
allow the activity to sustain operations and research at the site. The
Committee is aware that the Air Force is working with the Jet Propulsion
Laboratory on a Near Earth Asteroid Tracker at MSSS and encourages the
Air Force to allocate up to $2,000,000 for this purpose to catalog and
characterize potential hazardous asteroids.
Airborne Laser .--In adding $92,400,000 to the budget request for
the Airborne Laser (ABL) program, the Committee notes the program's
outstanding cost, schedule, and technical performance, as well as the
potential ABL has for ballistic missile defense. Accordingly, the
Committee directs the use of the additional funds to maintain the
program schedule which will result in the first intercept attempt in
fiscal year 2003 and the Initial Operating Capability in fiscal year
2007, barring unforeseen technical problems.
F 15 Squadrons .--The Committee has provided an increase of
$5,000,000 to the budget for F 15 survivability enhancements. The
Committee has also provided an increase of $26,900,000 in the ``Aircraft
Procurement, Air Force'' account for procurement efforts associated with
the survivability enhancement program. The funds are only for the
enhancing the situational awareness and survivability of F 15 aircraft
in Air National Guard and Reserve squadrons. The Committee is concerned
that these aircraft, which are part of the Air Expeditionary Wings, will
be deployed with inadequate radar warning receivers. The Committee
believes that these funds should be focused on improving modernizing the
radar warning receivers of these aircraft.
The Committee is also aware of a request to add BOL Chaff systems to
these aircraft. However, the Committee believes that greater situational
awareness will offer a greater survivability enhancement and urges the
Air Force to make radar warning receiver upgrades a first priority.
Joint Strike Fighter .--The Committee has strongly supported
previous budget requests for the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) program.
This program holds the promise of delivering a low cost, stealthy, joint
service aircraft. The program goals of designing in manufacturability
and maintainability should pay tremendous dividends in future operating
budgets. However, the importance of this program is such that we must
make the right decisions based on complete information.
The Committee understands the delayed start of the JSF flight testing
program. The current schedule calls for selection of a single design for
EMD in March, 2001. However, program delays may delay the initiation of
flight tests of the Vertical Takeoff and Landing (VTOL) demonstrators
until the March timeframe. The Committee believes that all of the flight
testing should be completed and fully evaluated prior to the selection
of an JSF EMD design. The Department of Defense has indicated that
indeed the EMD decision may slip until June, 2001.
The budget request included a total of $261,104,000 to continue the
Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) Demonstration/Validation effort. The budget
request also included $595,502,000 for the JSF Engineering and
Manufacturing Development (EMD) program. The Committee has deleted all
funds from the JSF EMD program elements.
The Committee recommendation provides a total of $653,292,000 for JSF
Demonstration and Validation, allocated between the Navy and Air Force
JSF Dem/Val program elements. The budget assumed that DoD had adequate
funds to continue the JSF Dem/Val program through March, 2001. The
Committee recommendation adds $20,000,000 to extend the Dem/Val program
through June. Further, the Committee has added $372,188,000 which can be
used to further continue and enhance the JSF Dem/Val program. The
Comittee has deleted 3 months of EMD funding to reflect the delay in
initiating the EMD program. The Committee directs that DoD conduct a
complete flight test program for the JSF prototypes and perform a full
evaluation of all flight test results as part of the EMD proposal
review.
The Committee is aware of no justification for changing the JSF
acquisition strategy. The Committee directs that DoD use the available
funds only to proceed with the original acquisition strategy of
selecting a single design, and associated industry team, to develop the
Joint Strike Fighter. The Committee believes that industrial base
concerns can best be addressed after the source selection decision.
Companies need to evaluate their desire to participate in the JSF
program based on their strategic business objectives. While the future
aircraft industrial base may be a concern, DoD can be partner in
discussion to address these concerns as companies work on viable teaming
or work sharing agreements.
The Committee also continues to support the Alternate Engine Program
(AEP) for JSF and expects that the recommended changes in overall JSF
funding will not impact the current AEP schedule and that no funds will
be diverted from the existing AEP plan.
C 5 Airlift Squadrons .--The Committee has provided $44,901,000, a
reduction to the budget request of $47,629,000. The reduction eliminates
funds for the C 5 Reliability Enhancement and Reengining Program.
On April 26, 2000, General Shelton testified that, ``We have some
tremendous challenges with the C 5 Alpha right now. When we complete
this analysis of alternatives, we will be in a position I think to
recommend to the Secretary and to be able to tell you whether or not we
think it would be best just to make a decision to stop pouring money
into the C 5 Alpha and come to you and say, we need to increase the
production on the C 17s or buy more, or whether or not we should go
ahead and fix the C 5 Alphas right now. The intuition says that probably
C 17s would be the right answer, but I would defer on making a
recommendation until we finish the analysis.'' The Committee agrees that
DoD needs to complete the mobility study so we all have a road map for
future investment in the airlift fleet. Accordingly, the Committee
reduction defers the C 5 Reliability Enhancement and Reengining program
at this time.
Life Support Systems .--The recommendation provides an increase of
$5,000,000 for Joint Seat Program. The Committee has made a similar
recommendation within the ``Research, Development, Test and Evaluation,
Navy'' account. The Committee restates its direction contained in the
Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2000. The Committee directs
that DoD conduct a full and open competition under this program with no
arbitrary restrictions applied by DoD to limit the competition.
Combat Training Ranges .--The Committee recommends an increase of
$4,000,000 for Advanced Data Oriented Security Module (ADOSM)
integration activities at combat training ranges. Further, the Secretary
of the Air Force shall inform the Congressional Defense Committees by
November 1, 2000 of the earliest expected implementation of ADOSM to
achieve initial operational capability for Nellis and Tyndall Air Force
Bases.
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 2001.

Committee recommendation 10,952,039,000
The Committee recommends an appropriation of $10,952,039,000 for
defense-wide research, development, test, and evaluation programs, an
increase of $713,797,000 to the budget request.
The budget activities and programs funded under this appropriation
are discussed below.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED ADJUSTMENTS
Defense Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research
(DEPSCoR) .--The Committee endorses the Office of Naval Research's
Intelligence Autonomous Air Vehicle Program, which could have a
significant impact on the ``revolution in military affairs'' by helping
to develop the next generation of intelligent weapons--pilotless combat
vehicles that can fly long missions and loiter over enemy territory for
extended periods. In particular, the Committee is aware of the important
contributions made by universities and colleges to this project. The
Committee encourages the Department of Defense and the Navy to continue
to provide robust funding for this program and for the participation of
universities currently supporting the research.
Gulf War Illnesses Research .--The Committee recommends $6,000,000
for research on Gulf War syndrome to extend multi-disciplinary studies
of its relation to fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, and multiple
chemical sensitivity. Within this amount, up to $2,000,000 may be made
available expansion of the research program in the Upper Great Plains
region. The research effort will include longitudinal studies of
military personnel before they are deployed to potentially hostile
situations and after their return.
Chemical and Biological Defense Program--Dem/Val .--If funds become
available during the execution year, the Committee supports funding of
the ``Electrostatic Decontamination Program,'' which would then enter
the advanced technology development phase (ATD) under the Joint Services
Fixed Site Decontamination Program. This would enable electrostatic
decontamination technology to be broadened from biological agents to
chemical and hybrid agents and to rapidly provide a method to quickly
restore and sustain operations in CB contaminated environments.
Tactical Technology .--The Committee recommends $5,000,000 for
CEROS, $2,000,000 below the amount provided in fiscal year 2000. The
Committee applauds CEROS for the success it has had in spearheading new
technology efforts such as the multipurpose processor and the midfoil
design for the Littoral Support Craft, both of which were initiated
through CEROS grants. The Committee strongly encourages the Office of
Naval Research and DARPA to transfer additional amounts from their
funding to CEROS to supplement the level recommended by the Congress for
this very successful program.
Defense-wide Directed Energy Science and Technology .--The Committee
recognizes that the High Energy Laser Master Plan was approved by the
Defense Department in March, 2000. This Plan proposed a new management
structure for coordination and resource allocation for high energy laser
activities throughout the Defense Department. In addition, the Plan
listed several important findings regarding Science and Technology
funding and fragility of the industrial base, as well as offering
specific recommendations to address current problems in this technology
field.
The Committee notes that the proposed Joint Technology Office (JTO)
identified of the High Energy Laser Master Plan might be more effective
and efficient if situated at a location where a substantial proportion
of the research, development, test and evaluation activities surrounding
high energy lasers takes place. The Committee also believes that the JTO
should leverage the expertise and technologies already existent at the
National Laboratories of the Department of Energy for applications
designated by the Task Area Working Groups.
BALLISTIC MISSILE DEFENSE ORGANIZATION
Ballistic Missile Defense Organization [BMDO] .--The Committee has
provided $4,354,355,000 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 $411,192,000 to the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization
[BMDO] RDT&E budget request. The Committee also provides $443,962,000,
the budget request amount for procurement of ballistic missile defense
systems and components. Thus, the total appropriation for ballistic
missile defense programs in this bill is $4,797,317,000. The Committee
has made a number of adjustments to individual RDT&E accounts as shown
in the following table.
[In thousands of dollars]

BMD Technical Operations 270,718 304,218 +33,500
International Cooperative Programs 116,992 124,992 +8,000
National Missile Defense .--The Committee understands that the
original NMD acquisition plan called for a competition for the
additional X band radars necessary to achieve C2 capability in the NMD
program. The Committee is aware that the Ballistic Missile Defense
Organization (BMDO) is considering a plan to prototype the competitive
approaches to the C2 radars. To accelerate this effort and avoid any
impact to the NMD program schedule, the Committee has provided an
increase of $10,000,000 only to proceed with the National Missile
Defense (NMD) C2 Radar Prototyping Program.
PAC 3/Navy Area Defense .--A significant factor in the Department of
Defense's selection of the Patriot PAC 3 missile was the lethality of
the hit-to-kill concept. The Committee believes the Navy Area program
could benefit from the hit-to-kill technology of the PAC 3 interceptor.
Further, the Defense Department might realize additional cost savings
and logistical benefits from purchasing a common missile. Therefore, the
Committee directs the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition,
Technology and Logistics to conduct a study of the potential for the PAC
3 missile to be used as the interceptor in the Navy Area program. The
Committee directs that this report be provide the congressional defense
committees by April 15, 2001.
OTHER ADJUSTMENTS
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED ADJUSTMENTS
Committee Recommendations .--The following table lists program

REVOLVING AND MANAGEMENT FUNDS
The Committee recommends appropriations totaling $4,195,357,000 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, 2000 $90,344,000
Budget estimate, 2001 916,276,000
Committee recommendation 916,276,000
The Appropriations Committees have consistently been strong advocates
of the commissary benefit for military personnel and their
beneficiaries. However, the Committee is very concerned that this
critical quality of life benefit is being eroded by usage policies
contrary to Congressional intent. The Committee directs the Secretary of
Defense to report to the congressional defense committees on the
following; all personnel categories approved for Commissary visits, by
region and country, with a separate breakout for the National Capitol
Region; all reimbursements received by the Department of Defense for
commissary usage by non-military foreign nationals; the number of
foreign national personnel provided with commissary benefits within the
United States; and a summary of tracking procedures for identification
cards issued to non-DoD personnel, which allow either restricted or
unrestricted use of the commissary privileges. This report shall be
provided not later than October 30, 2000.
NATIONAL DEFENSE MOBILITY FUND
Appropriations, 2000 $717,200,000
Budget estimate, 2001 388,158,000
Committee recommendation 3,279,081,000
The appropriation for the ``National Defense Sealift Fund'' 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 $258,000,000
for Ready Reserve Force and $130,158,000 for acquisition activities in
fiscal year 2001.
The Committee has recommended an expansion of this account to
recognize the fact that sea and air mobility are essential ingredients
in the Department of Defense's force projection capability. Thus, the
Committee has recommended renaming this account to create the ``National
Defense Mobility Fund'' account. This new account will incorporate the
existing ``National Defense Sealift Fund'' account and establish the
``National Defense Airlift Fund'' account.
In addition to providing the budget request amount for the ``National
Defense Sealift Fund,'' the Committee recommendation also provides an
increase of $2,890,923,000 for the ``National Defense Airlift Fund.''
This recommendation includes $2,478,723,000 for the acquisition of 12 C
17 aircraft and advance procurement for the fiscal year 2002 C 17
purchase. Further, the increase includes $412,200,000 for the interim
contractor support of the existing C 17 fleet. The Committee directs
that the C 17 procurement and fleet support programs continue without an
interruption during fiscal year 2001. The Committee has included
appropriate legislative authority to permit the transfer of these funds
for the continuation of C 17 acquisition and support.

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.
Dental Research .--The Committee is pleased with the progress of
dental research in the services and supports programs which advance the
preventative and reconstructive applications of military dentistry.
Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNA) .--The Committee is
pleased with the tri-service support for the current scope of practice
of military Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists. The Committee is
aware that DoD and service instructions allow a CRNA to be privileged as
licensed independent providers of anesthesia care. The Committee is also
aware that ``independent'' means that a CRNA is legally responsible for
care they render and does not imply unlimited scope of practice or a
lack of professional oversight.
Schools of Pharmacy and Nursing .--The Committee encourages the
Department to collaborate with schools of pharmacy and nursing as they
continue their efforts to increase patient safety and reduce medical
errors. The Committee urges the Department to explore all available
resources to enhance patient teaching regarding medication usage,
side-effects, and treatment plans.
Technology Sharing .--With the significant achievements and

Department to direct funds to the Health Professions Loan Repayment
Program that was authorized in 1998 as a retention tool to complement
the Armed Forces Health Professions Scholarship Program.
Complementary and Alternative Medicine Information .--The Committee
notes that use of complementary and alternative medical therapies and
practices has increased substantially. However, there is a need to
improve the availability of information on these therapies and their
integration with traditional medical care to military patients and the
health care professionals treating them. To provide this information,
the Committee urges the Department to develop a state-of-the-art
database on complementary and alternative medical therapies, including
information on treatment protocols. This database should be made
available to both patients and their health care professionals,
complement other sources of information and include a focus on the
special health care needs of military personnel.
Health Benefits of Cranberries .--The Committee understands that
medical studies indicate the potential benefits of cranberry juice and
other cranberry products in maintaining health. The Committee urges the
Secretary of Defense to take steps to increase the Department's use of
cranberry products in the diet of on-base personnel and troops in the
field. Such purchases should prioritize cranberry products with high
cranberry content such as fresh cranberries, cranberry sauces and
jellies, and concentrate and juice with over 25 percent cranberry
content.
mdbo mdnmDOD/DOE Plants.mdbo mdnm--The Committee recognizes that at
some sites the Department of Defense (DoD) and the Department of Energy
(DOE) or the Atomic Energy Commission employed a similar workforce
exposed to similar hazardous materials, sometimes working for the same
contractor. DOE has instituted health programs for former workers at its
nuclear weapons plants. The Committee notes that the DoD has taken no
similar action. As such, the Committee urges DoD to work with DOE in
health studies and programs for former workers at sites where both the
DoD and DOE or the Atomic Energy Commission had facilities. The
Committee believes DoD should establish a program to fund the
participation of former workers at such DoD facilities in such studies
and programs so that they are treated equally with other workers at the
site.

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 2001 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 the Fiscal Year 2001 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 2001 Department of Defense
Appropriations bill (S. 2593) and an original legislative branch
appropriations bill, both subject to amendment and subject to the
section 302(b) allocations, by recorded vote of 28 0, a quorum being
present.
