FUNDING WITHHOLDS
The Committee remains concerned with the department-wide practice of withholding appropriated funds as a mechanism for providing flexibility in managing the procurement and research and development accounts. As requested in the conference report to the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2004, the conferees requested that the General Accounting Office [GAO] initiate a review of the Department's practices with regard to withholds. GAO determined that funds are withheld to fund laboratory overhead costs, redirected to other programs for emerging requirements, and, in some cases, used to initiate new start programs without the notification or approval of Congress. It appears that the Department has limited oversight and no standardized Departmental policy for managing withholds and that the Services' have limited visibility into how withholds are assessed and managed at lower echelon commands. In addition, the preliminary GAO findings indicate that statutory withhold such as Small Business Innovative Research are not uniformly applied to all programs.
The Committee is greatly concerned by evidence indicating that program managers within the Department routinely inflate budget estimates in anticipation of incurring withholds during the year of execution. This practice by the Department obscures the actual cost of programs and diminishes the Committee's ability to fulfill its oversight responsibility.
The Committee is also aware of the Departmental practice that allows programs to `borrow' funds from one another with the understanding that they will be reimbursed in future years. The Committee has found several examples where funding requests to the Congress were purposefully inflated to cover outstanding reimbursements owed to other programs, the most egregious of which is where the budget request in its entirety is sought for this purpose.
In order to provide greater oversight and compliance with congressional intent, the Committee directs that statutory withholds such as those for Small Business Innovative Research shall be applied uniformly to each program element, project and activity within an account. The Committee further directs that funds shall not be withheld from congressional interest items to pay for service laboratory overhead. Finally, the Committee directs that funds shall not be budgeted for non-statutory withholds, nor shall funds be budgeted within a program or activity for reimbursement to other programs as a repayment for funds transferred to a program in a prior fiscal year.
With regard to new start programs, the Committee finds that the Department is not abiding by section 8103 of Public Law 108-87 that prohibits the use of funds provided to initiate a new start program without notification of the congressional defense committees. The Committee reminds the Department and its officers that a violation of this section is a violation of section 1341 of title 31, United States Code, a provision of law formerly known as the Antideficiency Act. Anyone who violates that law is subject to criminal penalties; violations of all associated provisions of law require investigation and reporting to Congress. The Committee recommends strengthening the provision to now require written notification 30 days prior to the initiation of any new start program and expects the Department to strictly adhere to the provision.
TITLE I
MILITARY PERSONNEL
Funds appropriated under this title provide the resources required for basic pay, retired pay accrual, Medicare eligible retiree health care accrual, employer's contribution for Social Security taxes, basic allowance for housing, basic allowance for subsistence, special and incentive pays, permanent change of station travel, and other personnel costs for uniformed members of the Armed Forces.
The President's fiscal year 2005 budget requests a total of $104,811,558,000 for military personnel appropriations. This request funds an Active component end strength of 1,383,000 and a Reserve component end strength of 860,900.
SUMMARY OF COMMITTEE ACTION
The Committee recommends military personnel appropriations totaling $103,869,413,000 for fiscal year 2005. This is $942,145,000 below the budget estimate.
The Committee recommends funding an Active component end strength of 1,403,000 for fiscal year 2005, an increase of 20,000 above the budget estimate. The Committee recommends funding a Reserve component end strength of 860,900 for fiscal year 2005, the same as the budget estimate.
Committee recommended military personnel appropriations for fiscal year 2005 are summarized below:

MILITARY PERSONNEL OVERVIEW
The Committee notes that the fiscal year 2005 budget estimate represents a significant increase in the military personnel accounts. The fiscal year 2005 military personnel budget estimate is $5,867,293,000 above the fiscal year 2004 estimate. Major initiatives include:
Across-the-Board Pay Raise.--The budget estimate proposes and the Senate reported version of the fiscal year 2005 National Defense Authorization Bill authorizes a 3.5 percent across-the-board pay raise for military personnel. The Committee supports this pay raise.
Reduced Out-of-Pocket Housing Costs.--The budget estimate includes funds to eliminate the out-of-pocket housing cost for military members. The increase in Basic Allowance for Housing funding reduces a service member's average out-of-pocket housing expense from the current 3.5 percent to zero in fiscal year 2005. The Committee supports the requested funding which should eliminate the average out-of-pocket expense by the end of fiscal year 2005.
Active Component End Strength.--The Committee supports the President's budget request for a decrease of 7,900 to Navy active end strength and an increase of 400 to Air Force active end strength. In addition, the Committee recommends an increase of 20,000 to Army end strength as authorized in S. 2400, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2005. Consistent with this legislation, the Committee provides funding for additional Army end strength in a contingent emergency reserve fund under Title IX of this bill.
Reserve Component End Strength.--The Committee supports the President's budget request for a decrease of 2,500 to Navy Reserve end strength, an increase of 300 to Air Force Reserve end strength, and a decrease of 230 to Air National Guard end strength.
PERMANENT CHANGE OF STATION [PCS] FUNDING
The Navy and Marine Corps budget estimates include $835,050,000 and $337,858,000, respectively, for Permanent Change of Station [PCS] funding. Collectively, this is $150,553,000, or 14.7 percent, above amounts provided in the fiscal year 2004 Defense Appropriations Act (Public Law 108-87). In contrast, the Army and Air Force request modest PCS funding increases of 3.4 and 1.2 percent, respectively. The Committee considers the PCS cost growth in the Navy and Marine Corps accounts excessive and recommends a 3.5 percent increase. As a result, the Committee reduces the Navy request by $86,636,000 and the Marine Corps request by $28,134,000.
SELECTIVE REENLISTMENT BONUSES
On April 30, 2004, the Air Force cut the number of specialty codes eligible for selective reenlistment bonuses from 146 to 62. The Air Force implemented these reductions in an effort to lower its manning level which is more than 20,000 above authorized end strength. The initiative is expected to reduce the fiscal year 2005 selective reenlistment bonus funding requirement for the Air Force by $82,000,000. The Committee, therefore, reduces the budget request by this amount.
The Navy request includes $362,486,000 for selective reenlistments bonuses in fiscal year 2005. This estimate includes 356 more initial selective reenlistment bonus payments than were provided to sailors in fiscal year 2004. The Committee considers the proposed selective reenlistment bonus growth in this account unnecessary when overall retention rates are high, other pay and benefits for sailors are increasing overall, and the Navy plans to reduce its manpower by 7,900 personnel in fiscal year 2005. As a result, the Committee reduces the Navy request by $12,000,000.
UNEXPENDED BALANCES
As part of an annual budget review, the General Accounting Office [GAO] identifies prior year unobligated and unexpended funds in the `Military Personnel' accounts. Over the past several years, this review has demonstrated a pattern by the Services' of underspending their military personnel appropriations. As a result, GAO believes the fiscal year 2005 budget request is overstated. The Committee, therefore, recommends a reduction of $375,000,000 to the budget estimate, distributed as follows:

Military Personnel, Army -178,000
Military Personnel, Navy -25,000
Military Personnel, Air Force -172,000
Total adjustments -375,000
-------------------------------------------------------
AIR FORCE END STRENGTH
The Committee is deeply concerned the Air Force is more than 20,000 personnel above authorized end strength. In comparison, the Army and Marine Corps are over authorized end strength by 13,000 and 600, respectively. While encouraged by steps the Air Force is taking to reduce manpower, the Committee considers it necessary that the Air Force implement an expeditious and responsible plan to return to authorized end strength by the end of fiscal year 2005. To continue funding this additional manpower in future supplemental requests is not a fair investment for the American taxpayer when major investments are needed to sustain ground operations in Iraq, Afghanistan, and other areas around the world. The Committee, therefore, directs the Secretary of the Air Force to submit a detailed plan, which includes timelines and goals, for how the service will return to authorized strength by the end of fiscal year 2005. This plan is to be submitted to the congressional defense committees no later than October 15, 2004.
MEDICAL/DENTAL CARE AND DISABILITY BENEFITS FOR CADETS AND MIDSHIPMEN
The Committee supports enhanced benefits for cadets and midshipmen at the services academies, as included in S. 2400, National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2005. If this provision is enacted, the Committee directs the Department to fund the enhanced medical and dental care and disability benefits within amounts provided in this bill.
NATO MISSION SUPPORT COSTS
The budget estimate includes funds to support a full fiscal year of NATO peacekeeping efforts in Bosnia. This mission and current operations, however, are expected to be complete by December 2004. At that time, NATO Forces will be replaced by a police force under European Union [EU] control. Due to this planned mission transfer, the Committee revises the budget estimates for military personnel and operation and maintenance to reflect end of operations by December 2004.

Reduced Accessions- In an effort to reduce manpower, the Air Force plans to cut the number of accessions in fiscal year 2005 by 11,000 people. As a result, approximately 24,000 new recruits will join the Air Force in fiscal year 2005 rather than 35,600 as planned in the budget estimate. Based on analysis conducted by the General Accounting Office [GAO], this action will result in significant cost avoidance savings in the Air Force military personnel budget. The Committee, therefore, reduces the Air Force's budget request by $95,500,000.

Industrial Mobilization Capacity.--The Committee recognizes the critical importance of the Industrial Mobilization Capacity program for offsetting costs of maintaining wartime capabilities at Department of Defense facilities and for ensuring that facilities such as the Rock Island Arsenal, IL remain competitive. The Committee has included an additional $6,500,000 for this program--$14,400,000 total--and expects that all fiscal year 2005 Industrial Mobilization Capacity funding shall be used only for this purpose.
World War I Chemical Munitions Cleanup- The Committee is aware of a significant health hazard at the American University resulting from Army munitions development and testing during World War I. While the Army recognizes its responsibility to restore the site and remove all chemicals, it has been slow to respond to this requirement. The potential danger to University students and employees mandate an immediate response to this hazard. The Committee urges the Army to expedite this clean up effort with a goal of completing its removal effort by December 2005.

Naval Shipyard Apprentice Program- The Committee has included $31,000,000 for the Shipyard Apprentice Program, and directs the Navy to induct classes of no fewer than 150 apprentices at each of the naval shipyards during fiscal year 2005. Further, the Committee directs the Navy to include the costs of the fiscal year 2006 class of apprentices in the fiscal year 2006 budget estimate.
U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps- The Committee recommends $2,000,000 for the U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps [USNSCC], a non-profit youth training and education organization. For several years, the Congress has provided funding for this program, which was federally chartered by Congress in 1962 (Public Law 87-655). A Department of the Navy report found that the Navy benefits from the USNSCC program in many ways, and stated `the Naval Sea Cadet Corps brings the Navy and its core values of honor, courage, and commitment into homes throughout America.' The Committee directs the Secretary of the Navy to fund the USNSCC program in the fiscal year 2006 budget request.
Navy Installations- The Committee was disappointed to learn recently of the Commander, Navy Installations [CNI] plan to reduce funding for fiscal year 2004 by approximately $300,000,000 to cover other Navy requirements. It was disturbing to discover that these reductions are not being allocated fairly. Some smaller regions are asked to forego a significantly larger percentage of their base operations support [BOS] and sustainment, restoration and maintenance funds [SRM] than are the larger regions. In one case, CNI's direction has the effect of negating congressional guidance to increase SRM for specific locations. The Committee urges CNI to restore SRM funds to those areas.
The Committee has also been informed that the fiscal year 2005 budget request for CNI assumes substantial savings which are not likely to accrue, leaving several regions no choice but to implement general reductions. Critics of the CNI concept warned that a large centralized account would be a logical target to finance other Navy activities. Additionally, they argued that Washington based headquarters for CNI would likely provide an east coast bias. Based on CNI's current plans it appears they were right. In the past, the Committee has reallocated Army SRM funding because of similar failings, but is hopeful that the same action will not be required here. As such, the Committee directs the Navy to reexamine its plans for CNI funding for fiscal year 2004 and fiscal year 2005. If the Navy does not address these issues in the coming weeks, the Committee will consider the management and funding distribution of CNI in conference.
Joint Center for Operational Analysis.--The Committee supports U.S. Joint Forces Command's initiative to enhance lessons learned capabilities through increased team missions and deployment. The goal is to capture lessons learned of ongoing operations in Iraq as well as the Global War on Terrorism. Accordingly, the Committee recommends that of the funds under this heading, $7,000,000 be provided for this initiative.

Pad Encryption Technology.--The Committee recognizes the merits of commercially available off the shelf one-time pad encryption technology and encourages the Air Force to explore its use. The Committee understands this technology could be utilized for the protection of highly sensitive special access programs and could allow for communication of such data using commercial networks.
Scott Air Force Base.--The fiscal year 2004 Department of Defense Appropriations conference report (Public Law 108-87) included funding to continue the C-9A mission flown by the 932nd Airlift Wing at Scott Air Force Base, Illinois, and training for new mission requirements, including the C-40C aircraft. The Air Force has indicated it plans to move three C-9C aircraft from Andrews Air Force Base, Maryland to be based at Scott Air Force Base in fiscal year 2005. The Committee supports the current C-9A mission as well as the transfer of the C-9C aircraft to Scott Air Force Base. The Committee encourages the Secretary of the Air Force to continue, at least, the 932nd Airlift Wing C-9 mission, and to expand the current mission to include C-40C aircraft after the appropriate review and subject to the availability of funds.

Corrosion Control- The Committee has reviewed the Department of Defense long-term strategy on corrosion control, and understands that DOD has established an Office of Corrosion Policy and Oversight [CPO] for focused management attention on this issue. In addition, the Committee is aware that a General Accounting Office assessment of the adequacy of DOD's corrosion control strategy has identified a number of shortcomings that threaten the effectiveness of that strategy. One of the identified shortcomings is a lack of dedicated and visible funding. Accordingly, the Committee directs the Department to establish a specific, separate program element or budget line to ensure that sustained and adequate funding is available for the corrosion control projects that have the best potential to provide maximum benefit across the DOD.
In addition, the Committee is aware that the Defense Science Board has determined that substantial costs could be avoided with additional corrosion prevention and changes in DOD acquisition policy. The Committee encourages DOD to make the up-front investments necessary to realize these future cost savings.
Finally, the Committee is concerned about the potential for corrosion damage to pre-positioned stocks, which are frequently located in highly-corrosive environments. Such corrosion could degrade readiness to respond to contingencies and be very costly to fix. The Committee encourages the DOD Inspector General to conduct a review of the impact of corrosion on pre-position assets, and recommend policy, management or funding changes to mitigate that corrosion.
Hooked-on-Fishing/Not-on-Drugs Pilot Program.--The Committee recognizes that the current operational tempo is placing significant stress on the families of military personnel. Installation commanders can help alleviate the stressors of service life in today's environment by facilitating family oriented activities. Fishing is a family oriented outdoor experience that serves as a structured and focused activity for military dependents. The Committee directs the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness to consult with the Future Fisherman Foundation and the Armed Forces Foundation on the implementation of a Hooked-on-Fishing/Not on Drugs pilot program at 20 U.S. military installations with the highest rate of mobilized personnel. The Committee further directs the Department to submit a report to the congressional defense committees no later than January 31, 2005 on the current status of this pilot program and the feasibility of establishing such a program at additional installations in the future.
Legacy Resource Management Program.--The Committee commends the Department of Defense for requesting funds to continue the Legacy Resource Management Program. From within these funds, the Committee encourages the Department to continue naval archaeology programs in the Lake Champlain Basin.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS
The Committee has displayed recommended adjustments in tables presented under each appropriation account.
These adjustments reflect the following Committee actions: elimination of funds requested for programs which are lower priority, duplicative, or not supported by firm requirements in out year development or procurement appropriations; 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 estimate; and implementation of recommendations reported in the Senate bill authorizing activities of the Department of Defense for fiscal year 2005.
The Committee directs that the funding increases outlined in these tables shall be provided only for the specific purposes indicated in the table.
PROCUREMENT OVERVIEW
Role of Small Businesses- The Committee is concerned that the continuous downsizing and consolidation of the U.S. defense industry has reduced the number of qualified sources, especially small businesses, for the manufacture of aviation/air ground components, such as cable/wiring harness assembly. The Committee urges the Department to make every effort to identify and use these qualified small business sources to meet the small business goals as set out in 10 U.S.C. 2323 and DFARS Part 219.

During February of this year, the Department of Defense accepted the Army's recommendation to cease further development of the Comanche helicopter program. In March, the administration submitted a budget amendment recommending the reallocation of funds originally requested for the Comanche program.
The Committee commends the Army leadership for arriving at the decision to terminate Comanche in a deliberate, responsible manner. Unfortunately, the budget justification and request to realign funding originally intended for Comanche has not been addressed in a similar manner. In fact, during the Committee's budget review, the Army proved unable to explain, justify, and at times identify acquisition plans, and required costs for items contained within the request. In the case of several programs [Light Utility Helicopter, Armed Reconnaissance Helicopter, Apache Block III] Army acquisition plans have yet to be approved, respectively, by the Army leadership, Secretary of Defense or Joint Requirements Oversight Council. Some of these programs may or may not be subject to competitive bidding, and are being developed based on a request for information to potential suppliers.
The Committee remains supportive of the Army's efforts to deliberately improve its aviation combat power. Although supportive of the Army's efforts to achieve task organization, the Committee has not received sufficient information to endorse the budget request.
Kiowa Warrior Replacement- The budget request included $24,000,000 for the procurement of an armed reconnaissance helicopter. In selecting a replacement helicopter for the Kiowa Warrior, the Army has not conducted an Analysis of Alternatives. The requirements and key performance parameters for an armed reconnaissance helicopter have not been identified to the Committee. The Army failed to provide any supporting budget justification materials, and has yet to approve an acquisition strategy for this program. The Committee recommends that funds available for procurement of an armed reconnaissance helicopter shall only be available 30 days after the Army has delivered to the Committee an acquisition plan and strategy for this system.
Light Utility Helicopter- The budget request included a total of $45,000,000 for procurement of light utility helicopters ($30,000,000 for the procurement of 10 helicopters, and $15,000,000 for support costs). The Department of Defense has yet to approve an acquisition strategy for the procurement of light utility helicopters [LUH], and has not conducted an Analysis of Alternatives. The Army has not provided the Committee any justification materials identifying the platforms to be considered or any planned competition for the LUH. The Committee recommends that funds available for procurement of the LUH shall only be available 30 days after the Army has delivered to the Committee an acquisition plan and strategy for this system.
CH-47 Helicopter- The amended budget request funds both remanufacture and new procurement of CH-47 helicopters. As the remanufacturing and production lines have matured, manufacturing efficiencies identified by the contractor have yielded cost savings for these respective programs. The amended budget request includes funding of $727,300,000 for CH-47 procurement, an increase of $215,900,000 above fiscal year 2004 levels. Due to current manufacturing efficiencies and the economies of scale to be expected from a funding increase of over 40 percent, the Committee recommends a decrease of $25,000,000.
Vibration Management Enhancement Program.--Funding was not included in the budget request for continuation of the Vibration Management Enhancement Program [VMEP]. The Committee supports this program for enhanced aircrew safety, improved aircraft maintenance, and reduced operation costs and encourages the Army to transition this capability to the AH-64A and AH-64D Longbow helicopter.

Hellfire Missile- The Army budget amendment requested $92,900,000 to procure additional Hellfire II laser guided missiles. However, based on emerging requirements in Iraq the Army has requested flexibility in the variant to be procured. The Committee recommends granting the requested funding and flexibility for the Army to procure up to 1,135 missiles of any Hellfire II warhead variety.

M-113A2/A3 Armoring Initiative- The Committee is encouraged by the success of armored kits for combat vehicles in the Iraqi theater of operations and encourages the Army to pursue the use of this technology on other vehicles, such as the M-113 Armored Personnel Carrier. There are well over 1,000 excess Bradley Fighting Vehicles that have armor that could be used for armor kits for M-113s that would increase the M-113 protection to a level greater than that of a Bradley. The Committee understands that these kits could be modified in CONUS at a minimum rate of 50 sets per week and then shipped to deployed units and installed in the field in several hours per set. This would be a low cost solution with existing armor sets. The Committee supports any efforts by the Army to assess this option for both deployed and deploying troops.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hydrolysis Demilitarization Demonstration Program- The Committee is encouraged by the progress of the Hydrolysis Demilitarization Demonstration Program and recommends an increase of $7,600,000 to build a production prototype hydrolysis demilitarization unit for testing and operations at Tooele Army Depot.
Small Caliber Ammunition Production Upgrades.--The Global War on Terrorism has increased demand for small caliber ammunition and has strained U.S. production capabilities. In addition, recent changes in Army training doctrine place even further demands on this production capability. The Defense Department cannot meet small caliber ammunition needs unless existing capabilities are upgraded and additional capabilities are added. The Committee, therefore, recommends an increase of $15,000,000 to modernize small caliber production lines at Lake City Army Ammunition Plant.
Demilitarization of Tactical Missiles- The Committee recommends an increase of $3,000,000 to complete the implementation of an organic missile recycling capability at the Anniston Munitions Center.

Joint Tactical Radio System [JTRS]- It is currently the policy of the Department of Defense that any radio purchased including those necessary to go to war, will require a JTRS waiver. The continued enforcement of this policy, in the absence of any JTRS solutions, has made it very difficult for commanders to appropriately equip deploying units with essential communications in a timely manner. The Committee believes that the JTRS waiver process adds a significant and unnecessary burden to the purchase of urgently required mission equipment.
While the Committee understands the rationale for issuing a blanket policy with regard to JTRS communications equipment, the Committee notes the bottleneck that this policy has caused. Therefore, the Committee directs the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Networks and Information Integration to report back to the congressional defense committees no later than January 3, 2005 on a new plan which establishes and describes a process which allows the rapid fielding of radios, terminals, or other communications systems which are not JTRS compliant. Further, this report should address the option of suspending the JTRS waiver process until JTRS solutions are available for fielding.
Additionally, the Committee is concerned that the Joint Tactical Radio System program support costs have been assigned to several different accounts within the Army, and in doing so have escalated to an excessive level. Therefore, the Committee recommends a reduction of $10,000,000 from the procurement line due to excessive management costs.
SINCGARS Power Alternatives- The wide scale use of SINCGARS communications platforms has created a significant power supply problem for deployed units in both Iraq and Afghanistan. The dependence of SINCGARS radios on battery power has resulted in tremendous operational costs as a result of constantly replacing disposable batteries and corresponding battery shortages.
The Committee is aware of low cost, lightweight AC power supplies for SINCGARS that have been purchased by various units in the field to address this systemic problem. The Committee recommends that the Secretary of the Army conduct a comprehensive review of the costs associated with an over reliance on batteries and whether or not the Army would be better served by supplementing units using SINCGARS with AC power supply solutions to reduce battery usage and increase SINCGARS availability.
Maintenance Support Device.--The Committee is concerned by recent decisions made by the Army to terminate funding for the Maintenance Support Device, which is a vital Test Measurement Diagnostic Equipment [TMDE] asset providing a comprehensive maintenance and diagnostic system to our warfighters and maintainers in the field. This action could have a substantially negative impact on force readiness.
Calibration Sets Equipment Modernization.--The Committee notes, with concern, that the President's budget request contains no funding for Calibration Sets [CALSETS], and that the Army has not completed the procurement and fielding of CALSETS. The Committee further notes that this decision places a particular burden on the Guard and Reserve forces, and given the increased reliance on the Army Total Force to support worldwide contingency operations, it is imperative that these critical assets be available across the entire force for both training and deployment. The Committee directs the Army to report back to the congressional defense committees no later than January 3, 2005 on the Army plan to ensure that there are adequate resources to continue fielding this equipment across the Army Total Force.

Phalanx Close-In Weapons System [CIWS]- The Committee recommends an increase of $20,000,000 for procurement of CIWS Block 1B upgrade kits. The Committee is concerned that the Navy significantly reduced its procurement request for CIWS in fiscal year 2005 and changed the installation plans for the system. The Committee is concerned that the revised installation plans will only partially outfit ships with the Block 1B upgrade, that is, not upgrade all a ship's CIWS simultaneously but rather in an incremental fashion. The Committee believes this plan to be inefficient and provides additional funding to facilitate the full outfitting of ships with the CIWS Block 1B capability.

DD(X) Destroyer Program- The Committee recommends supporting the President's budget request for the DD(X) Destroyer program but holds that construction of the ship should be funded within the shipbuilding and conversion account in a manner consistent with prior shipbuilding programs. The Committee is encouraged by the Navy's willingness to propose nontraditional means of overcoming the enormous financial burden that ship cost overruns and prior year bills place upon the shipbuilding budget, but finds that such costs would not be eliminated but rather obscured by funding ship construction in the research and development account. Therefore, the Committee recommends transferring $221,116,000 of research and development funding to the Shipbuilding and Conversion, Navy account and directs the Navy to fund future ship construction programs within the shipbuilding and conversion account. In addition, the Committee recommends providing $99,400,000 in advance procurement funding for the second DD(X) ship to be constructed at a second source shipyard.
LHA(R)- The Committee is aware of the Navy and Marine Corps team's desire to accelerate the current fiscal year 2008 build plan for the next generation large deck amphibious assault ship. The Committee's understanding is that the recently signed requirements plan calls for the construction of LHA(R) Flight Zero or an affordable variant of the LHD Class that is designed to support increased air operations and fuel capacity. The Committee recommends $175,000,000 in funding for LHA(R) Flight Zero with the unwavering expectation that the Navy will include follow-on funding for the ship in its fiscal year 2006 budget request. Further, the Committee directs the Secretary of the Navy to submit a detailed report to the congressional defense committees on the acquisition strategy and overall program plan for the LHA(R) by March 31, 2005.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cruiser Modernization- The budget request includes $165,999,000 for the Cruiser Modernization program. The intent of the program is to increase the service life of AEGIS Cruisers and to upgrade and modernize their combat capabilities. The fiscal year 2004 Defense Appropriations bill (Public Law 108-87) provided $102,700,000 to modernize a Baseline IV vessel, one of the newest ships in the fleet, as the first ship of the program. While the conference agreement provided funds to initiate the program, the conferees expressed concern over the Navy's proposal to upgrade one of the newest and most modern Cruisers in the fleet before upgrading legacy assets. The conferees, therefore, directed the Navy to revise its funding strategy to provide for an earlier modernization of legacy Baseline II ships and fully fund this revised strategy in the fiscal year 2005 budget request.
The Committee is disappointed that the current budget request includes funds for modernization of another Baseline IV ship. In addition, the Committee is concerned that the Navy has not identified which Baseline IV ship will be upgraded with the requested funds. The failure to identify a ship makes the fiscal year 2005 budget estimates questionable as the cost to modernize each Cruiser differs based on the configuration of the ship. Further, the cost estimates are questionable as production rates differ regionally and the Navy has not determined where the work will be completed. Finally, the Committee is troubled by the Navy's decision to reduce program scope to compensate for program cost growth. As a result, the program no longer promises to provide several of the key combat capability upgrades originally planned. Due to the questionable cost estimates, the cost growth which led to termination of key program upgrades, and the Navy's request to once again modernize one of the newest ships in the fleet prior to legacy assets, the Committee denies the budget request and rescinds $89,939,000 from prior year funds available for rescission. The fiscal year 2005 reductions are distributed as follows:
---------------------------------------------
Account Amount
---------------------------------------------
Other Procurement, Navy $114,139,000
Weapons Procurement, Navy 8,760,000
Operation and Maintenance, Navy 43,100,000
Total 165,999,000
---------------------------------------------
Surface Sonar Windows and Domes- The Committee recommends an increase of $5,000,000 to complete the re-design and fabrication of a second composite bow dome prototype for at-sea testing.
MK-53 NULKA Anti-Ship Missile Decoy System- The Committee recommends an increase of $11,100,000 for NULKA Decoys. This funding procures an additional 25 rounds to reduce the Navy's operational shortfall of anti-ship missile decoys. This funding also supports ordnance alteration kits for NULKA round subassemblies.
Man Overboard Identification System- The Committee recommends an additional $10,000,000 to procure Man Overboard Identification Systems. These systems immediately alert Navy ships of a man-overboard incident and also provide precision location of an individual in water, thereby reducing death and injury from such incidents.
Littoral Combat Ship [LCS] Mission Packages- A central feature of the LCS design is modular Mission Packages. The planned Mission Packages may consist of a combination of modules, manned and unmanned off-board vehicles, deployable sensors, and other support equipment. The Navy plans to begin funding Mission Modules, which will be procured independently from Seaframe development, in the fiscal year 2006 budget request under the `Other Procurement, Navy' account. The Committee feels strongly about creating an appropriate level of visibility to ensure an accurate accounting of total program costs. The Committee, therefore, directs the Navy to establish a `LCS Mission Packages' line within the account and to request all items (modules, vehicles, sensors, etc.) related to the development of LCS Mission Packages in this line as part of the fiscal year 2006 budget request.
Standing Joint Force Headquarters Core Element.--The Committee supports the U.S. Joint Forces Command's plan to create a standing joint force headquarters which will provide a surge capability for contingencies. The Committee recommends that of the funds under this heading, $6,000,000 be provided for essential command and control equipment and deployment gear required to supply this surge capability.

Expeditionary Fighting Vehicle [EFV]- The Marine Corps is developing the EFV to replace the Amphibious Assault Vehicle, originally fielded in 1972, as its primary combat vehicle for transporting troops from ship to shore and on land. The Committee considers this program a critical component of the Marine Corps' future warfighting capabilities. The Committee, however, is concerned about the current delay in selection of an EFV production site when Low Rate Initial Production [LRIP] of the vehicle is scheduled to begin next year. Also of concern to the Committee is the slow execution of $97,195,000 appropriated in fiscal year 2004 to procure industrial and special tooling equipment for installation in the EFV production facility. As of May 2004, the Marine Corps had obligated less than 1 percent of this funding. The fiscal year 2005 request includes an additional $57,318,000 for EFV industrial and special tooling equipment. Due to the delays in execution of fiscal year 2004 funding and in the production site selection process, the Committee reduces the request for industrial equipment by $15,000,000, and directs the Marine Corps to inform the Committee when a production site is selected.
Unit Operations Center- The budget request includes $11,293,000 for support costs associated with the Unit Operations Center program, an increase of $10,348,000 above the amount requested in fiscal year 2004. As part of the Committee's budget review, the Marine Corps failed to provide adequate justification for this increase. As a result, the Committee reduces the request by $8,000,000.
Digitization of Technical and Operations Manuals- The Committee recommends an increase of $7,500,000 for the digitization of technical and operations manuals for the Native American Document Conversion Program. This funding shall be available for digitization and the development of hardware, software, and data storage capability in connection with implementation of the Service Data Management report.

F-117 Nighthawk- The Committee concurs with Section 132 of the National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 2005, regarding the prohibition of retirement of F-117 aircraft.
Heavy Outsized Airlift Capacity- The Committee is aware of the on-going Mobility Capabilities Study and the probability that the current 54.5 MTM/day requirement will increase. The Committee, like the Air Force, recognizes the value of filling whatever heavy, outsized lift requirement is validated with the most cost effective fleet structure to include better use of the Civilian Reserve Air Fleet [CRAF].
The Committee directs the Secretary of the Air Force to provide the congressional defense committees with a report assessing any and all options to introduce a U.S.-owned, heavy, outsized airlift capability into the CRAF based on potential commercial uses of commercialized versions of U.S. heavy outsized cargo aircraft without the need for government investment or substantial involvement.

Cryptographic Modernization- The budget request includes funds to procure the KIV-7M, a cryptographic device designed specifically for secure data communications and to transfer the encryption electronic key. Subsequent to the budget submission, the Air Force revealed the request for this item was made erroneously. The Committee, therefore, reduces the budget request by $12,229,000.
Digital Ionospheric Sounder System [DISS]- The Committee denies the budget request of $4,130,000 for the DISS. The Air Force has experienced technological difficulties in meeting system requirements and determined near term solutions may not be readily available. In addition, the Air Force has identified two other options to meet the DISS requirements. Both options are commercial-off-the-shelf solutions, which are not expected to be technologically mature for at least another year.
Joint Simulator Upgrades- The budget request includes $19,700,000 to procure equipment in support of the Joint National Training Capability [JNTC], which is a U.S. Joint Forces Command program. Serving as the DoD Executive Agent for the U.S. Joint Forces Command, the Navy is responsible for prioritizing, presenting, and defending the command's budgetary requirements. Under this authority, the Navy's fiscal year 2005 request includes $12,000,000 in the `Other Procurement, Navy' account for JNTC equipment. This is $5,000,000 above last year's level. The Committee denies the request of $19,700,000 in this account and directs the Department to fund future JNTC equipment requirements in the `Other Procurement, Navy' account.
Point of Maintenance/Combat Ammunition System Initiative- The Committee recommends an additional $8,000,000 to continue implementation of the Point of Maintenance/Combat Ammunition System Initiative at priority Air Force facilities. The initiative inserts modern commercial-off-the-shelf automatic identification and data collection technologies into Air Force maintenance and munitions management programs.
Combat Arms Training System [CATS]- The Committee understands the need to modernize small arms training systems for the Air National Guard to meet their Homeland Defense and combat training requirements. There is currently a shortfall of 184 CATS in the Air National Guard. The Committee believes these systems enhance mission readiness and recommends an additional $5,000,000 to procure CATS for the Air National Guard.

Special Operations Procurement Funding- The Committee recommends $181,541,000 for procurement of equipment for Special Operations Forces. The Committee applauds the Command and its forces for their leadership and appreciates the sacrifices made in the Global War on Terrorism. The Committee strongly supports the unique budget authority afforded to the Command and is sensitive to the need for financial flexibility during wartime, however, finds the number of below threshold reprogramming [BTR] actions executed by the Command unacceptable. The Congress provides the Department the flexibility to move funding among programs for unanticipated and extraordinary needs, not for basic program financial management. The benefit of flexibility should not be used to inhibit the Congress' ability to track a program's financial health or circumvent the intent for which funds are appropriated.
The Committee has examined the Command's fiscal year 2005 budget request and finds the level of financial flexibility afforded by the current construction of the Command's budget concerning. Thus, the Committee recommends modifying the current budget structure by increasing the number of line items for procurement. The recommended changes are made in a manner consistent with the Service budget presentations as illustrated by the separation of the MH-47 and MH-60 program budgets. While the Committee has created new lines specifically for the two aircraft Service Life Extension Programs [SLEP], it directs the Command to further separate the funding provided in the Rotary Wing Upgrade line by program in future budget submissions. The Committee further directs the Command to follow the recommended budgetary line item construction in the future.
Advanced SEAL Delivery System [ASDS]- In the report accompanying Public Law 108-87 the conferees directed that none of the funds provided for the ASDS could be obligated or expended until a successful Milestone C decision and a revised cost estimate validated by the Cost Analysis and Improvement Group [CAIG] was provided to the congressional defense committees. The Committee has recently been notified that the Milestone C decision has been delayed until the fall of 2005. As a positive Milestone C decision is required to initiate procurement of the second ASDS, the fiscal year 2004 and 2005 funding for advance procurement is no longer required. As such, the Committee recommends rescinding the fiscal year 2004 and reducing fiscal year 2005 funding for this effort. The Committee commends the Command for making the practical program management decision to revise the schedule and hopes the postponement of the Milestone C decision will allow the ASDS to overcome the deficiencies identified in the Operational Test and Evaluation report, undergo the full range of acoustic testing, and incorporate the projected technology improvements. In order to facilitate these efforts, the Committee recommends $14,000,000 for the ASDS in the Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Defense-Wide appropriation.

| Appropriations, 2004 | $400,000,000 |
| Budget estimate, 2005 | ........................... |
| Committee recommendation | 500,000,000 |
The Committee recommends an appropriation of $500,000,000. This is $500,000,000 above the budget estimate.
The appropriation includes direction for each Reserve and National Guard component commander to submit to the congressional defense committees a detailed assessment of that component's modernization priorities.
The Committee maintains that the Reserve and National Guard component commanders should exercise control of funds provided for their modernization in this account. The separate submission of these assessments, directly from the Reserve component commanders and the National Guard Directors to the committees will ensure that Reserve and National Guard priorities are addressed in the allocation of this appropriation.

Titanium Extraction, Mining, and Process Engineering Research [TEMPER] Initiative.--The Committee is aware of technologies which will identify and develop new extraction and mining technologies that will significantly reduce the cost of titanium, reduce the reliance on foreign titanium ore and build the lowest cost processing stream for titanium components. The fiscal year 2004 program has demonstrated the feasibility of using Montana ore and through the technology resources of various industry partners, a target low-cost extraction process has been identified. Additional funds in fiscal year 2005 will extend the existing technology consortium and ensure the success of the program. This academic/industry consortium will demonstrate the lowest cost processing stream that uses domestic ores, a new extraction process and melting and non-melting technologies to produce material. This approach will benchmark a new `Titanium Mini-mill' concept, thus establishing a new industry standard in the titanium community. This is an initiative that will directly benefit the U.S. Army and will be validated on weapon systems under development by U.S. Army ARDEC. The Committee encourages the Department of the Army to continue this program within funds available in the research and development account.
MARIAH II- The Committee notes that hypersonic ground test capability is necessary to launch the next generation of air-breathing hypersonic systems such as missiles, reusable space vehicles and global reach aircraft. To date, the MARIAH II program has been developing the key enabling technologies required for a MACH 8 to 15, one second run time large-scale hypersonic wind tunnel. These technologies include ultra-high pressure, electronic beam energy addition and magneto hydrodynamics [MHD] acceleration technology. The Committee has provided $15,000,000 in PE 0602303A to continue this development.
In fiscal year 2004, Congress directed the transfer of MARIAH II from the Air Force, which had failed to include MARIAH II in its budget requests, to the Army Aviation and Missile Command. The Army identified a near-term need for hypersonic ground test capability to support several advanced missile development programs. The Army program calls for a MACH 10, one second run time wind tunnel to be operational within 5 years. The Committee believes the MARIAH II program to be of vital interest to national security and America's continued leadership in aerospace. The Committee directs the Secretary of the Army, in conjunction with the Director of Defense Research and Engineering to submit a report to the congressional defense committees by March 3, 2005, which lays out a plan to fund MARIAH II in the Future Years' Defense Program so that operational capability may be achieved by fiscal year 2009.
Army Aviation Collaborative Engineering and Integration Testbed- The Committee supports the Army's decision to terminate the Comanche helicopter program. However, the Committee notes that with the cancellation of Comanche, the Army is left with significant technologies and developed components that should be utilized to benefit existing aviation systems. For example, Comanche sensors [EOSS], Integrated Communication Navigation Identification Avionics, Comanche Portable Cockpit, revolutionary flight controls and helmet mounted display technology, all slated for the Comanche program should continue to be evaluated.
In an effort to capitalize on technologies such as these, and to insure that Army aviation remains at the forefront of technological advancement, the Committee encourages the Army to develop an Aviation Collaborative Engineering and Integration Testbed. The goal of such an effort should be to provide a critical link between the Government-managed Aviation Research Development and Engineering Center [RDEC] at Redstone Arsenal and the Original Equipment Manufacturer [OEM] technical experts and provide a badly-needed environment in which to evaluate the transfer of Comanche-developed components and other advanced technologies to Army aviation systems in direct support of emerging and future war fighter needs.
A further goal of this initiative should be to facilitate the transfer of Comanche program and other emerging aviation systems technologies to a broader Rapid Equipment and Fielding Facility [REFF] co-located with the PEO Aviation, PEO Tactical Missiles, and Aviation and Missile Command, leveraging several existing integration facilities, laboratories, and engineering centers. This concept represents an open architecture, airframe independent, system integration testbed that will connect avionics, sensors, weapons, airframe and test assets into an integrated design and performance assessment tool. The Committee directs the Secretary of the Army to submit a report to the congressional defense committees by January 3, 2005 which provides a basic framework to move forward with this initiative.
Land Warrior/Objective Force Warrior- The Committee notes with great concern that the Land Warrior program has been in existence for over 10 years and to date, has not been fielded.
The Committee notes with great encouragement, however, that with the transfer of this program to PEO Soldier, the Army has dedicated the necessary resources and attention to this technology in the past year to make a much more realistic program which uses soldiers as its main focus.
The Committee remains concerned that the Land Warrior and the Future Force Warrior are becoming two programs on separate paths, never to cross with the soldier, those who are the intended recipient of their technological advances. Therefore, the Committee directs the Army to submit to the congressional defense committees a plan to consolidate both programs into a single program, benefiting from the efficiencies of each. The Committee also recommends a reduction to the Future Force Warrior program of $15,000,000 as a result of anticipated efficiencies gained through consolidation of these two programs. The consolidated program should take on the focus of the Army's Future Combat System and provide the Army with a FCS dismounted capability on the individual soldier.
Further, the Committee understands that it is possible to field a dismounted capability immediately to the Stryker Brigades currently deployed in combat. Therefore, the Committee recommends that the Land Warrior program re-focus its procurement strategy to incorporate these emerging capabilities, such as the Commanders Digital Assistant [CDA] and hand-held EPLRS capabilities, into the Stryker brigades immediately.
Fibrinogen Bandages Using Non-mammalian Clotting Proteins- The Committee is encouraged by recent developments in medical technologies using clotting proteins in blood to develop bandages. These modern bandages appear to have shown promise in traumatic injuries. Further, the Committee recommends that the Army consider the use of non-mammalian proteins as an additional source of protein in the manufacture of Fibrinogen bandages.
Malaria Research and Vaccine Development- The Committee notes that Department of Defense research has led some of the most promising malaria research and vaccine development efforts in the world. The Committee encourages the Army and Navy to find alternative means to fund administrative costs so that contributions from the Malaria Vaccine Initiative can all be directed to research and development programs. In an effort to boost the Military Infectious Disease Research Program, the Committee provides an additional $10,000,000 for malaria research and vaccine development. The Committee directs that these funds be used for the malaria research and vaccine development efforts led by the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research [WRAIR] and the Naval Medical Research Center [NMRC]. The Committee further encourages the Department of Defense and the Department of the Army to provide funding through NMRC for Plasmodium Falciparum irradiated sporozoite malaria vaccine development, since this research has the potential to yield results quickly.
NAD Synthetase Inhibitors- The Committee is aware of the work being done by the Department of the Army in the area of force health protection, specifically the development of novel pharmaceuticals that hold excellent promise for the prophylactic and/or therapeutic control of anthrax by employing NAD synthetase inhibitors. This important research should also reduce the side effects associated with current treatments. The Committee understands the concern over the prevention and treatment of malaria and other tropical diseases, especially leishmania. The Committee encourages the Department to evaluate whether antimicrobial medical peptides [AMPs] are suitable candidates for further clinical development.
Army Missile and Space Technology Initiative.--The Committee is concerned about the lack of Applied Research investments in support of the Army's ballistic defense systems. Today, the Ballistic Missile Defense [BMD] technology development budget has no Applied Research funds and its Advanced Technology Research funding accounts for only a portion of the overall Missile Defense Agency [MDA] budget with the vast majority of funds being dedicated to acquiring and fielding near term systems. This lack of funding for Applied Research by MDA and the U.S. Army leaves a gap in critical technology development for addressing the advancing threat. To compound the problem, the speeds and distances involved in intercepting a ballistic missile mean that the technologies needed to advance our Nation's missile defense capability are highly unique to the missile defense mission and cannot necessarily leverage other basic and applied research in the Services. Therefore, the Committee notes that there is an urgent need for a coherent, focused applied research program in the U.S. Army for BMD research, specifically dedicated to our Nation's Ballistic Missile Defense System.
Armored Systems Modernization- The President's fiscal year 2005 budget submission contains $2,700,455,000 for Armored Systems Modernization and an additional $497,643,000 for the Non-line of Sight Cannon [NLOS-C]. These two budget lines make up the entire Future Combat System funding in the Army.
The Committee recognizes that the Future Combat System represents the single greatest modernization program in the Army's budget. This development program has seen an evolution since its announcement, and the Committee supports the Army's efforts to ensure that this weapon system is the most modern, most effective weapon system in the Army inventory. The Committee recognizes that the development of the Future Combat System, along with Modularity, is an opportunity to modernize the way the United States Army conducts land warfare in the future.
In accordance with the discussions held between the Army and this Committee, and in an effort to provide a greater detailed level of oversight, the Committee directs that the funds made available within Program Element 0604645A, Armored Systems Modernization, be allocated within the following projects:

-------------------------------------------------
As part of the Future Combat System, the Committee recommends the creation of a new program element, 0604646A, Non Line of Sight--Launch Systems, and recommends the transfer of $79,500,000 from program element 0604545A to establish this line. Additionally, the Committee recommends the transfer of $343,937,000 to the Non Line-of-Sight Cannon and Resupply Vehicle [NLOS-C], for a total of $841,580,000, as per the amended justification materials submitted to the Committee. The Committee believes that these individual projects will provide the transparency necessary for Congress to perform its oversight role. In addition, the Committee directs that each project within the Armored Systems Modernization line be designated as a special interest item subject to prior approval reprogramming procedures as described elsewhere in this report.
Electronics Commodity Project- The Committee was informed by the Department of Defense that $1,000,000 was included in the fiscal year 2005 President's budget request for the Electronic Commodity Project, in line 127 of the Army research and development account. The Committee is pleased that the project was included in the budget and directs the Department to use the funding to continue this effort.
Land Mine Alternatives- The Committee supports the non-self-destruct landmine alternatives and the Intelligent Munitions System. The intent in initiating these programs was to develop technologies to replace anti-personnel landmines that cannot distinguish between an innocent civilian and an enemy combatant. For this reason, the Committee believes it is essential that these systems be designed to utilize a man-in-the-loop, discriminating capability. The Committee directs the Secretary of the Army to submit a report by January 3, 2005 describing its plans for incorporating this technology.
SCANJACK Mine Clearing System- The Committee understands the U.S. Army has a requirement for area mine clearance sets, and that it is evaluating various systems. The Committee urges the Army to acquire at least one commercial-off-the-shelf [COTS] SCANJACK Mine Clearing System that can be used for test and evaluation and, if required, for deployment in a military or humanitarian contingency.
Enterprise Resource Planning for Army Combat Logistics- Army logistics systems arm, fuel, repair, move, and sustain combat forces. The Army's goals for modernization of its legacy logistics systems include improved sustainment of combat forces using fewer soldiers, increased readiness and operational availability, while significantly lowering cost. Enterprise resource planning systems provide essential information for timely decision-making and accurate performance-measurement. They use no custom software code and only commercial off-the-shelf computer technology. They are web-based with a robust telecommunications infrastructure, and have been tested at thousands of sites outside the Army. The Committee encourages the Army to use funds within the Global Combat Support System [GCSS] account to complete the blueprinting and accelerate fielding of the system by up to 2 years, replacing 20 year old systems which question their ability to support combat operations.
Skid-steer Loaders.--The Committee understands that operational experience in Iraq and Afghanistan has demonstrated that skid-steer loaders add significantly to the survivability, mobility, and productivity of Army combat engineers. The Committee encourages the Army to pursue the acquisition of additional skid-steer loaders for engineering units supporting operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Small Mobile Weapons Systems For Force Protection.--The United States Army is being transformed to a lighter and more lethal force. This transformation leads to a more dispersed force with fewer soldiers armed with highly sophisticated assets under their direct control. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles have already shown great advantage as an extension of the soldier for Reconnaissance, Surveillance & Target Acquisition missions. Small Mobile Weapons Systems are now becoming available to provide a critical multiplier of the firepower of the transformed force. Additional resources for this effort will enable the development and implementation of the already field tested first generation designs. The Small Mobile Weapons Systems program will focus on weight reduction, ruggedization, improved survivability and cost reduction. The Committee encourages the Army to use funds within its fiscal year 2005 research and development funding to pursue this technology.
Micro Liquid Crystal Displays.--The Committee understands that a broad range of military programs now utilize the next generation of enhanced micro-image displays that provide wide field displays, reduced power, and enhanced resolution and brightness. The Committee encourages the Department of the Army to use funds within its fiscal year 2005 research and development funding to pursue enhanced micro-image displays.

PMRF Force Protection Lab- The Committee recommends an increase of $8,000,000 for the PMRF force protection lab. The lab will serve as an incubator for force protection and base security technologies and will examine such technologies as active access technologies, rapid response command information systems, common situation displays, ports and cargo secure operations, maritime security and force protection, and advanced communications terminals.
Acoustic Technology Program- The Committee recommends $5,000,000 for the development of a multi-mission unmanned undersea glider prototype coupled with ISR sensors to demonstrate denied area surveillance through the Acoustic Technology Program.
MTTC/IPI.--The Committee notes MTTC/IPPI's significant contribution to increasing cost savings for the Navy through innovative product development, and encourages the Navy to include funding for this program as part of its annual budget request.
Littoral Combat Ship- The Committee supports the budget request for the Littoral Combat Ship [LCS] and consents to the Navy's request to fund construction of the first prototype ship for each of two ship designs in the Research and Development, Navy account. Approval for funding LCS in the research and development account is strictly based on the acknowledgement of the prototypical nature and high level of technical risk inherent in this program. The Committee finds LCS to be unique and unlike any other shipbuilding program the Navy has previously pursued; and therefore, grants the Navy's request for the increased flexibility that funding within the research and development account affords. However, the Committee directs that all follow-on ships beyond one prototype for each LCS ship design be fully funded in the Shipbuilding and Conversion, Navy account. The Committee also believes that substantial testing of the LCS and the associated mission modules is required to evaluate each ship design and validate operational requirements. Therefore, the Committee directs that no funds shall be obligated to prepare a fiscal year 2006 budget request for construction of the second ship of either prototype design. This directive is intended to provide for a `gap' year between the construction of the first prototype ship and second ship of each design, thereby ensuring that design problems discovered during the construction of each ship design are identified and fixed before construction of the follow-on ships. In addition, the consent to build the LCS prototype ships with research and development funding should in no way be interpreted as approval for other ship construction programs to be funded within the Research and Development, Navy account.
The Committee is also concerned that the development of various LCS mission modules, which will be procured independently from the vessel, will obscure the actual cost of the weapon system. Therefore, the Committee directs the Navy to identify LCS mission module funding separately within the Research and Development, Navy and Other Procurement, Navy accounts.
MDETEC- The Committee directs the Department of the Navy to conduct a study on the Navy's directed energy and electric weapon requirements for both offensive and defensive uses of such weapons. The study shall examine future Naval force capability gaps, the potential requirements for, employment and testing of directed energy and electric weapons to fill those gaps. The study shall include examination of high-energy laser, high power microwave, particle beam, electronic attack, electromagnetic launch and rail gun technologies. The report shall be delivered not later than June 1, 2005.
DD(X) Destroyer Program- The Committee supports the budget request for the DD(X) Destroyer program but believes that construction of the ship should be funded within the Shipbuilding and Conversion account in a manner consistent with prior shipbuilding programs. Therefore, the Committee transfers $221,116,000 of Research and Development funding to the Shipbuilding and Conversion account and directs the Navy to fund future ship construction within the Shipbuilding and Conversion account.
Joint Strike Fighter STOVL Lift Fan- The Committee directs that in addition to funds currently budget for STOVL Lift Fan technologies, not less than $15,000,000 of the funds provided for the Joint Strike Fighter program shall be for STOVL Lift Fan thrust increase studies.
Fire Scout Unmanned Aerial Vehicle- The Committee has included an additional $24,000,000 for the Fire Scout unmanned aerial vehicle program. The Committee directs that these funds shall be used for procurement of one additional Fire Scout system consisting of three Fire Scout air vehicles, three Electro-Optical-Infrared/Laser Designator/Laser Rangefinder payloads and embedded radios, one Ground Control Station, and one ship set of automatic landing equipment.
CCDoTT- The Committee recognizes that Office of Naval Research sponsored university research into agile port technology and supply networks and sense and respond logistics, holds significant promise in improving strategic mobility, rapid deployment and sustainment, and force protection in support of expeditionary warfare mission objectives. The Committee encourages the Joint Forces Command to support those efforts and participate with the Center for the Commercial Deployment of Transportation Technology and the local logistics airport in conducting joint experiments, desktop and field exercises such as Sea Viking 06 and 08 to demonstrate and rapidly deploy those advanced concepts of operations.
Emitter Location Technologies- The Committee is concerned that the Department of Defense has not captured the cost benefits offered by current emitter location technology. For example, the Navy and Air Force continue to pursue dedicated weapon systems to perform the Suppression of Enemy Air Defense [SEAD] and the Destruction of Enemy Air Defense [DEAD] mission areas rather than use new emitter location technology to accurately geolocate targets for current strike systems to suppress or destroy. Emitter location technologies will allow multiple missions to be performed by existing strike weapons systems thereby saving costs and time. The Committee directs the Navy to evaluate the cost benefits offered by the adaptation of current emitter location technology to justify the continued expenditures on new missile systems dedicated to the SEAD and DEAD mission areas. This evaluation should identify the cost and risks associated with upgrading current and planned emitter location technology versus the cost and benefits of using dedicated missile systems.
Western Security Complex.--The Committee understands that extensive informal efforts have been made by the naval facility at China Lake, California, the United States Joint Forces Command, and a number of other facilities to establish cooperative operations among more than 100 bases, laboratories, and government-sponsored research facilities in the western United States. The Committee recognizes the potential value of formalizing these efforts and supports a feasibility study of the Western Security Complex, which would link together and explore cooperative ventures to leverage resources in support of the Global War on Terrorism. The study is to be submitted to congressional defense committees before the fiscal year 2006 budget submission.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Human Performance- The budget request includes $7,800,000 for the study of human sensory systems and perceptions, an increase of $4,400,000 above fiscal year 2004 levels. As part of the Committee's budget review the Air Force failed to provide adequate justification for this increase. The Committee recommends a decrease of $3,000,000.
External Research Programs Interface- The budget request includes $6,000,000 for international study, travel, and liaison missions. As part of the Committee's budget review the Air Force failed to provide adequate justification for this increase. The Committee recommends a decrease of $2,000,000.
University Research Initiatives- The budget request included $39,670,000 for graduate fellowships, an increase of $5,000,000 above fiscal year 2004 levels. The Committee recommends funding for this program at the fiscal year 2004 level, and recommends a decrease of $5,000,000.
Quantum Gate Technology- The Committee recommends $1,000,000 for the purpose of conducting advanced research in quantum information technology of significance to the Department of Defense.
Composite Materials For UAVs- Developing and producing composite materials tailored to the unique demands of unmanned aerial vehicles [UAVs] is critical if the Department of Defense is to extract the full operational capability of these systems. Therefore, the Committee provides an additional $2,000,000 for the purpose of developing and certifying this new class of materials for the J-UCAS, UCAR, and other UAVs.
MSSS/AMOS- The Committee recommends an increase of $34,000,000 above the budget request for sustainment, investment in new technologies, initiatives, and research and development activities at MSSS. The Committee is concerned that the Air Force is applying overhead charges and administrative expenses to MSSS programs at excessive rates for lab overhead. The Committee directs the Air Force to base its overhead charges only on the amount it requests. None of the increases provided here shall be subject to Air Force headquarters or administrative costs unrelated to MSSS. Furthermore, research funds should be allocated by Air Force officials on-site to local programs that offer the greatest potential return and merit. In addition, the Committee directs the Air Force and the Missile Defense Agency to study the advantages of moving MSSS to the Space Vehicles directorate within the Air Force Research Lab or to create a separate directorate for these activities and report by January 1, 2005 on their recommendations.
Long Range Planning- The budget request included $7,140,000 for acquisition planning and an on going Analysis of Alternatives for the land based Strategic Deterrent. This represents an increase of $2,200,000 above fiscal year 2004 levels. The Air Force has not demonstrated sufficient justification to increase the funding for the studies and planning described above. The Committee recommends a decrease of $2,000,000.
Integrated Strategic Planning and Analysis Network [ISPAN]- The budget request included $23,000,000 for software upgrades and contractor costs related to the ISPAN planning system. The development effort related to modernization of ISPAN is concurrent with operation and maintenance funded sustaining efforts. As part of the Committee's budget review the Air Force was unable to justify the estimated contractor costs assumed in the budget request. The Committee recommends a decrease to requested funding of $5,000,000.
KC-10 GATM- The budget request contained $18,452,000 for KC-10 Global Air Traffic Management development. Subsequent to the submission of the budget request the Air Force decided to cancel the subject program. The Committee recommends a decrease of $18,452,000.
Fuel Cells- The Committee is aware that a broad range of Air Force missions and applications have an immediate need for efficient and robust fuel cell based power sources. Fuel cells are lighter than conventional batteries or generator power supplies. Fuel cells offer the largest potential to reduce vehicle fuel consumption, individual soldier pack load, environmental pollution and enemy ability to detect combat vehicles. The Committee supports the Air Force investments in fuel cell technology and encourages the Air Force to use funds for the prototype scale-up, optimization and demonstration of an advanced solid polymer electrolyte fuel cell that uses lyotropic LCP based membranes.
JHPSSL- The Committee is supportive of the Joint High Power Solid State Laser Program [JHPSSL]. This joint high energy laser program, funded by both the Department of the Air Force and the Department of the Army and managed by the High Energy Laser Joint Technology Office is a crucial step towards developing a powerful, lightweight and ultra-precise laser weapon that will increase probability of kill while reducing collateral damage. The Committee recommends that the Air Force continue to fully fund this important JHPSSL program and ensure that this program move forward with at least two of the participants now under contract through the next phase of development, the JHPSSL Follow-On Program, to reduce risk.
SPACE PROGRAMS
The Air Force Research, Development, Test and Evaluation budget request for fiscal year 2005 represents a considerable investment in space technologies and programs. In the context of the overall Defense budget, the totality of these investments is in all probability not sustainable. During fiscal year 2005 the Air Force seeks to nearly double its investment in Space Based Radar from a fiscal year 2004 level of $172,600,000 to a fiscal year 2005 level of $328,000,000. Transformational communications, the next generation of satellite communications, more than doubles in fiscal year 2005 to a request level of $774,000,000. Although funded in another Air Force appropriation, the cost of space launch within the Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle program has more than doubled since the fiscal year 2004 request, reaching a fiscal year 2005 request level of $638,000,000. According to current plans, each of the above mentioned programs grows by a minimum of 30 percent in fiscal year 2006 absent additional schedule and cost perturbations. Subsequent to the submission of the budget request the Air Force notified the Committee of the latest cost estimates for the Space Based Infrared System [SBIRS] High program. Current estimates are that cost growth for the SBIRS program will approximate $1,000,000,000 from fiscal year 2004-2013. Due to the conclusion of the Committee that planned investments in space programs are unaffordable, several adjustments to the budget request are recommended below.
Transformational Satellite Communications System- The budget request included $774,800,000 for the transformational military satellite [TSAT] communications program. Current plans project a cost increase of over 50 percent during fiscal year 2006, reaching an annual funding level of over $1,000,000,000.
The Committee supports the efforts of the Air Force to develop significant increases in bandwidth available to the military. TSAT development holds the potential to improve communications capability through the use of lasers, internet protocol packets, and integration with a new ground communications network. Current Air Force estimates of the cost to complete the TSAT program approximate $12,000,000,000. This estimate is nearly double the estimated cost to complete in the fiscal year 2004 request.
As noted above, the Committee remains acutely concerned that projected investments in Air Force space programs are not sustainable. The technical risks associated with the deployment of a TSAT constellation are considerable. The Committee recommends a decrease of $400,000,000. Despite the recommended reduction in funds available to the program, sufficient resources remain to support technology development and risk reduction activities. In fact, at the recommended level, available funding increases by 10 percent above the fiscal year 2004 levels.
Space Based Radar- The budget request includes $327,732,000 for the Space Based Radar [SBR] program, an increase of $155,000,000 above funding appropriated for fiscal year 2004. Current life cycle cost estimates for the Space Based Radar program range from $25,000,000,000 to $29,000,000,000. In concept, Space Based Radar would provide military commanders and the intelligence community with an overhead capability to: conduct surface moving target tracks; access multiple theaters regardless of weather or visibility; provide rapid revisit radar imaging and terrain mapping; and, achieve near continuous surveillance.
According to the current plans of the Department of Defense, the first launch of an SBR satellite would occur during fiscal year 2012. To achieve this ambitious objective the Department intends to reach a Milestone B decision during fiscal year 2006, despite the fact that critical technologies such as the moving target indication software, hardware and algorithms and the on board processor are unlikely to have reached technology readiness level 5 until 2006. Although the Department of Defense has completed a Ground Moving Target Indicator Analysis of Alternatives, the Air Force and the Office of the Secretary of Defense are still considering the ideal force structure for the integration of air and space intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance assets. Due to the uncertainties surrounding the affordability of an SBR constellation, and current levels of technological maturity, the Committee recommends a funding decrease of $100,000,000. This recommended level of funding permits the Air Force to continue technology maturation and further study the relationship and costs concerning SBR dependence on Transformational Communications and TSAT.
The Committee further recommends that each contractor team narrow their concept development to only lead concepts.
Space Based Space Surveillance- The budget request includes $102,000,000 for Block 10 design development and risk reduction costs. Current Air Force estimates for this contractor effort total $97,100,000 in fiscal year 2005. The Committee recommends a reduction of $4,000,000.
Spacecraft Vehicle Technologies- The budget request included $13,156,000 for the design of deployable structures for Space Based Radar and an eventual flight experiment. This request represents an increase of $5,800,000 above fiscal year 2004 levels. Due to the delays in the development of Space Based Radar the Committee recommends a decrease of $4,000,000.
Counterspace Systems- The budget request included $53,000,000 for the Counter Surveillance Reconnaissance System. Subsequent to the submission of the budget the Air Force decided to cancel this program. The Committee recommends a decrease of $53,000,0000.
Global Positioning System- The Committee notes that the Global Positioning System [GPS] has been an overwhelmingly successful joint military and civil use program providing revolutionary time and navigation accuracy improvements over previous systems. GPS has also created new applications which have improved safety throughout the United States and in other parts of the world. It has been more than two decades since the first GPS satellites were placed in orbit, and other nations now compete with the United States in advancing GPS technology. The Committee believes that Air Force research must focus on efforts to move from an earth centric time-space reference to a system which is decoupled from the planet. This research promises breakthrough improvements to enable the United States to maintain a technological lead over competing programs and provide a crucial component of testing our missile defense systems which rely on nearly incomprehensible precision.

DARPA- The Committee recommends $2,849,979,000 for Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency [DARPA] programs. DARPA is to be commended for compliance with last year's language that directed the incorporation of more detailed cost, schedule, and performer data in the budget materials. The Committee finds, however, that further information on plans for transitioning DARPA technologies to the Services and/or an acquisition agent is required. Therefore, the Committee directs DARPA to submit a comprehensive transition plan for programs funded with 6.3 funds. The plan shall include the planned transition agent, i.e. Service, Agency, or future acquisition agent, the expected timing of the technology/program transition, and the expected program costs (unit cost) that will be borne by the agent. The Committee is sensitive to the scale of this endeavor and therefore directs that only 30 percent of 6.3 funded programs shall be required to present a transition plan with the fiscal year 2006 President's budget submission. The Committee grants flexibility in this reporting requirement with the expectation that an even greater portion of programs will submit transition plans in fiscal year 2007 and that all 6.3 funded programs will submit plans with the fiscal year 2008 budget submission.
In addition, the Committee remains concerned about the considerable financial flexibility inherent in DARPA's budget. For example, in any given year the majority of DARPA's programs undergo what is internally termed a `go/no-go' review. This necessary review determines whether the pursued technology is promising, plausible, and relevant to defense. As DARPA's programs are intrinsically and purposefully high risk, it is probable that many of the programs undergoing this review receive `no-go' decisions. As a result, the Director has the budgetary flexibility to redirect resources from all discontinued or `no-go' programs to any other program or programs funded within the same budgetary program element.
In addition, the Committee finds that program expenditures are further obscured by the level of resources requested in each program element. Over half of the Agency's program elements request more than $200,000,000 in resources and one program element requests over $500,000,000. Therefore, in order to increase budgetary transparency and clarify the amount of resources requested and ultimately executed on DARPA programs, the Committee recommends increasing the number of budgetary program elements or lines within the DARPA budget. The Committee directs DARPA to follow the Committee's recommended budgetary construction in future budget submissions.
Quadrupole Resonance Technology.--The Committee notes the success of quadrupole resonance technology in explosives detection. Leveraging accomplishments thus far, the Committee recommends an increase of $3,000,000 to complete this project in fiscal year 2005.
Follow-on RAMOS Program- The Committee understands that the Missile Defense Agency [MDA] recently terminated the Russian American Observation Satellites [RAMOS] program. This is a cooperative program with the Russian Federation on mutually beneficial research that is missile defense related and provides a foundation for future cooperative efforts. The Committee believes that this collaboration on space-based sensor research and development is meritorious and should continue. Accordingly, the Committee recommends that of the funds available to the MDA, $5,000,000 be allocated to continue a follow-up cooperative program between the United States and the Russian Federation on missile defense and early warning technologies.
J-UCAS.--The Committee is concerned that the J-UCAS program has not been properly coordinated with the Services, is overly ambitious with regards to planned technologies and is potentially unaffordable. The Committee is aware that when the Departments of the Navy and Air Force reduced funding for the program in their respective fiscal year 2005 budget proposals, the Office of the Secretary of Defense [OSD] transferred the program to one of its own offices, drastically increased program funding and slated DARPA as the executive agent. The Committee is also aware that since the program was transferred, there has been little coordination and consultation with the Services. As the Services will ultimately be called upon to operate and invest in the J-UCAS, it is prerequisite that they be closely involved in the development of requirements and the acquisition strategy.
In addition, the Committee is concerned that the technologies planned for the common operating system and advanced sensor suite are unnecessarily ambitious and potentially unaffordable. The schedule for these technologies is also unduly aggressive. As such, the Committee recommends a reduction of $200,000,000 to the budget request and expects OSD to fully coordinate program plans with the Navy and Air Force in the future.
Lack of Program Justification.--The Committee is concerned about the number of `pilot' programs requested within the Office of the Secretary Defense. These programs include Reducing Total Ownership Costs, Rapid Acquisition Initiatives, Transformation Initiatives, and Horizontal Fusion. The funding requests for these programs fail to outline the activities and projects to be financed, but rather propose that the Congress appropriate `pots' of money for broad programmatic objectives where specific activities are identified after the funding is provided. For example, the fiscal year 2005 budget request for the new start program Reducing Total Ownership Costs broadly describes the program's objective to, `optimize returns on investments that reduce operating and support costs for systems.' The Department plans to solicit proposals and make project selections after funding has been granted; thus no defined list of projects is available.
The Committee finds this budgetary practice unacceptable and recommends reducing funding for these programs. The Committee expects the Department to adhere to traditional budget justification practices and provide detailed information on the projects and activities to be funded with the budget request.
Allen Radio Testbed.--The Committee is aware that technology of the Allen Radio Telescope Array (at the Hat Creek Radio Observatory Site) can be utilized by the Department as a testbed that could lead to the development of a deployable system to detect low-observable aircraft. The Committee directs the Department to investigate this technology and report to the Committee on its potential.
Perchlorate Contamination- The Committee is concerned about the potential cost of remediation of perchlorate and provides $4,000,000 for the Environmental Security Technical Certification Program to conduct research and a demonstration of remediation technologies in the Rialto-Colton Basin.
The Committee believes that the Department should expedite the development of a plan to remediate perchlorate contamination. Once that plan is developed, the Committee believes that the Department should take appropriate action to implement this plan. The Committee supports the reporting requirement on this matter as requested in the fiscal year 2004 Military Construction conference report.
Defense Integrated Military Human Resources System [DIMHRS]- The Committee is aware that accelerating funding for the DIMHRS program may significantly and more quickly improve support to the joint staff and unified combatant commanders to provide a single, fully integrated personnel and pay management system for our service personnel. The Committee encourages the Department of Defense to accelerate funding for the fielding and implementation of DIMHRS. The Committee urges the Department of Defense to maintain the DIMHRS joint program manager co-located with the DIMHRS program office and development staff at the SPAWAR Information Technology Center [SITC].
Special Operations Research and Development Funding.--The Committee recommends $506,986,000 for research and development programs for Special Operations Forces. Similar to the position presented in the Procurement, Defense-Wide section of this report regarding the Command's budget structure, the Committee recommends increasing the number of program elements for research and development activities. The Committee hopes these modifications will increase the transparency of the actual level of resources necessary to execute the Command's programs and directs that the Committee's adjustments be adhered to in future budget submissions.
TACTICOMP- The Committee is aware of the requirement for advance modules of the TACTICOMP individual personal data assistant and recommends $2,000,000 for Special Operations Forces for this purpose. The funding should be focused on the continued development of TACTICOMP advanced modules, the laser range finder and Navy dive board units.

The Committee recommends an appropriation of $441,936,000. This is $827,316,000 below the budget estimate.
The Committee remains concerned about the status of construction of the T-AKE ships. While construction of the fiscal year 2000 appropriated ship has recently commenced, the Navy reports that the program has slipped an additional 6 months. The status of the production design is particularly concerning as only 2 of the 22 zones necessary for ship fabrication are complete. Further, the Committee notes that approximately $2,000,000,000 of $2,300,000,000 provided by the Congress since fiscal year 2000 for the program remains unexpended. As such, the Committee recommends reducing the budget request for the T-AKE until sufficient construction progress has been made on previously appropriated ships.
TITLE VI
OTHER DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE APPROPRIATIONS
DEFENSE HEALTH PROGRAM
| Appropriations, 2004 | $15,730,013,000 |
| Budget estimate, 2005 | 17,640,411,000 |
| Committee recommendation | 18,064,811,000 |
The Committee recommends an appropriation of $18,064,811,000. This is $424,400,000 above the budget estimate.
The Committee remains concerned by the Department's efforts to fund shortfalls in the contractor provided private sector care account from direct care funding for military treatment facilities [MTFs]. The Committee believes that such actions will adversely impact the ability of the MTFs to provide quality health care to military beneficiaries. Therefore, the Committee recommends that up to $8,953,494,000 may be available for contractor provided medical services within TRICARE, and directs the Department to follow established prior approval reprogramming procedures before transferring funds from the direct care account to the private sector care account.
Third-Party Collections at Military Treatment Facilities- The Committee is concerned by the findings of the General Accounting Office regarding the collection of third-party payments at military treatment facilities as outlined in the GAO report 04-322R of February 2004. The Committee directs the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Health Affairs) to make the necessary business process improvement to ensure that Military Treatment Facilities are collecting all appropriate third-party payments. The Committee believes that these collections are critical to maximizing health care delivery and preventing the further degradation of medical facilities.
Enhanced Amputee Care- The advent of body armor and substantial improvements in combat casualty care have contributed to the lowest `died of wounds rate' in recorded military warfare. However, the Global War on Terrorism has produced a surge in complex combat injuries involving the amputation of major limbs. Historically, 3 percent of those wounded in action required some amputation. Today that rate has jumped to 6 percent in Iraq. The Committee believes military amputees deserve the highest level of specialized care, and therefore recommends an additional $18,400,000 to ensure military amputee patients are returned to the highest level of physical function and to active duty if possible. Of the funds provided, $7,800,000 will contribute to improved operations at the Amputee Center at Walter Reed Army Medical Center. The Committee recommends $9,000,000 for research into improved prosthetic care, limb development and rehabilitation, and $1,600,000 of procurement funding is provided for support equipment to furnish a new amputee center facility at Walter Reed Army Medical Center.

Peer Reviewed Cancer Research Program- The Committee has provided $200,000,000 for a Peer Reviewed Cancer Research Program. The Committee directs the Secretary of Defense, in conjunction with the service Surgeons General, to select cancer research projects of clear scientific merit and direct relevance to military health. The projects being considered should include breast cancer, blood related cancers, ovarian cancer, prostate cancer, providence cancer research project, and targeted nano-therapeutics for advanced breast and prostate cancer. The Secretary should use existing peer review procedures for selecting projects for funding in order to optimize the resources available for cancer research.
Peer Reviewed Medical Research Program- The Committee has provided $50,000,000 for a Peer Reviewed Medical Research Program. The Committee directs the Secretary of Defense, in conjunction with the service Surgeons General, to select medical research projects of clear scientific merit and direct relevance to military health.
Such projects could include: amyotrophic lateral sclerosis; alcoholism research; anti-radiation drug development; childhood asthma; chronic pain and fatigue research; conjugate vaccines to prevent shigellosis; diabetes research; duchenne's disease research; epilepsy research; lupus; neurofibromatosis; the neurotoxin exposure treatment program; orthopaedic extremity trauma; osteoporosis and related bone diseases; Paget's Disease; post traumatic stress disorders; social work research; tuberous sclerosis complex; Volume Angio CAT [VAC] research; and autoimmune diseases such as scleroderma and sjogren's syndrome.
The Committee directs the Department to provide a report by March 1, 2005, on the status of these Peer Reviewed Cancer Research and Medical Research Programs.
Clinical Coupler Integration- The Committee commends the Department for beginning the deployment of CHCSII, the electronic medical record that will improve the quality of care and documentation for servicemembers. The Committee recommends $4,000,000 to continue integrating clinical decision support tools that use coupling technologies into CHCSII.
Alcoholism Research- The Committee remains concerned about excessive alcohol consumption among military members. Alcoholism is a significant factor in suicide and accidental deaths, as well as lost productivity and health problems. Research holds the promise of developing more effective prevention programs and new and better methods for the treatment of alcoholism. For example, the development of effective drug therapies for alcoholism requires an improved understanding of how alcohol changes brain function to produce craving, loss of control, tolerance, and the alcohol withdrawal syndrome.
ADDITIONAL ITEMS OF INTEREST
Chiropractic Health Care Benefits Advisory Committee- The Committee encourages the Secretary of Defense to convene a chiropractic health care benefits advisory committee to provide advice and recommendations regarding the continued development and implementation of chiropractic health care benefits for active duty military personnel. The committee recommends that the advisory committee meet no fewer than three times in each fiscal year beginning in fiscal year 2005.
Health Professions Loan Repayment Program- The Committee strongly encourages the Department to continue to utilize programs for loan repayment that are separate from the Health Professions Scholarship and the Financial Assistance Programs. The Committee understands that dentists, nurses, pharmacists, psychologists, and optometrists all indicate that greater targeting of funds for loan repayment enhances recruitment and retention efforts.
Integrated Pharmacy Programs- The Committee is pleased with the efforts of the Tripler Army Medical Center [TAMC] and the Spark M. Matsunaga VA Medical Center to integrate their pharmacy services and directs the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Health Affairs), in cooperation with the Department of Veterans Affairs, to prepare a report on progress in this critical area. The report should include the status of the pharmacy data systems bi-directional interface at Tripler Army Medical Center and plans to complete the project. In addition, the report should also detail efforts to integrate pharmacies beyond data systems integration at TAMC/Matsunaga VA. This report is to be submitted to the congressional defense committees before the presentation of the fiscal year 2006 budget estimate.
Nurse Officers-to-Nurse Faculty- The Committee recognizes that the current nursing shortage is having an effect on the quality and efficacy of the entire health care system. The Committee encourages the creation of a Nurse Officers-to-Educators Program, modeled after the successful Troops-to-Teachers Program at the Department of Defense, to place qualified nurse military veterans into educator positions in accredited schools of nursing.
Post-Doctoral Education- The Committee continues to be supportive of postdoctoral training in health psychology and notes the successes and merits of the progress being made at Tripler Army Medical Center. The Department of Defense is encouraged to consolidate postdoctoral training efforts for psychologists in those military medical centers where independent departments of psychology exist and to lengthen it to a 2-year program, where appropriate.
Graduate Professional Education- The Committee continues its strong support of equitable distribution of Department of Defense funds for graduate professional education to all health professions, including nursing.
Nurse Accession Bonus- The Committee remains concerned that despite the nursing shortage, the Department has yet to increase accession bonuses for nurses in the services, which currently is the lowest of any of the health professions at $5,000. In order to attract the best and the brightest, this amount must be increased, and the Committee urges the Department to remedy this inequity.
Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists- The Committee reiterates its strong support of the current scope of practice of military Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists [CRNAs] to practice as licensed independent providers of anesthesia care.
Pediatric Emergency Medical Services- The Committee expresses its strong support for pediatric-specific EMS training and equipment related to hospital preparedness. The Committee urges the Secretary of Defense to ensure that Military Treatment Facilities maintain these initiatives in recognition of the unique emergency medical needs of children.
Behavioral Research in the Military Service Laboratories- The Committee recognizes that psychological scientists address a broad range of important issues and problems vital to our national security through the military research laboratories. Given the increasingly complex demands on our military personnel, psychological research on leadership, decision-making under stress, cognitive readiness, training, and human-technology interactions have become even more mission-critical. The Committee strongly encourages the service laboratories to reverse cuts made to their behavioral research programs.
Tobacco Use Cessation- Tobacco use cost the Defense Department hundreds of millions of dollars every year in medical cost and lost productivity. While the Department has established ambitious goals to decrease the use of tobacco products, it has not aggressively pursued suggested pilot programs and not yet incorporated smoking cessation in TRICARE Prime benefits even though such preventative care saves money. The Committee urges the Department to expedite availability of tobacco use prevention and cessation programs to all personnel.

The budget request included $1,371,990,000 for the Chemical Agents and Munitions Destruction, Army appropriation. This is a decrease of $128,271,000 below the fiscal year 2004 appropriated level.
The Department of Defense elected to reduce overall funding for the chemical demilitarization program despite the increased activities associated with the commencement of GB agent operations at Pine Bluff Chemical Agent Disposal Facility and Umatilla Chemical Agent Disposal Facility later this year. In addition to the additional activities planned for the Chemical Stockpile Disposal Project [CSDP], contractor labor costs at CDSP sites increase by $534,000,000. To finance partially the CSDP cost growth the Office of the Secretary of Defense reduced by $147,000,000 planned fiscal year 2005 funding for Assembled Chemical Weapons Alternatives [ACWA] program activities at the Pueblo Chemical Agent Destruction Pilot Plant. The decision to reduce the funding requested for ACWA was made despite the fact that in 2002 the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics directed the Army and ACWA to accelerate destruction of the chemical weapons stockpile at Pueblo. Estimated carryover for the Chemical Agents and Munitions Destruction, Army appropriation from fiscal year 2004 to 2005 should exceed $140,000,000. The Committee recommends a decrease of $50,000,000 for operation and maintenance carryover.
The ACWA program remains a priority of the Committee. During fiscal year 2005 the Department is expected to complete the design and earliest stage of construction at Pueblo. To restore this facility to its original schedule, the Committee recommends additional funding of $50,000,000 under research and development for Pueblo, Colorado.

The Committee recommends an appropriation of $8,000,000. This is equal to the budget estimate.
The Committee has reviewed the Department of Defense report (required by Senate Report 108-87) on the long term solvency of the National Security Education Trust Fund, and remains very concerned about the National Security Education Program's [NSEP] funding status.
The Committee agrees with the report's conclusion that the Trust Fund will be depleted after fiscal year 2005, and that NSEP should be funded with a direct appropriation from the general fund starting in fiscal year 2006. It is appropriate for NSEP to be funded under the National Defense University line in the Operation and Maintenance, Defense-Wide account.
The Committee directs the Department of Defense to request a direct appropriation from the general fund for NSEP with the fiscal year 2006 budget estimate, and to submit any required legislative language dissolving the Trust Fund.
Finally, the Committee is aware of the Department's language training transformation initiatives, and directs the Department to develop a comprehensive strategic plan for these efforts. This plan should include a detailed analysis of NSEP's role in any such transformation, including the congressionally authorized National Flagship Language Initiative, and should set forth the full budgetary requirements for the Department's language transformation efforts in the out-years. Further, the Committee directs the Department to report on this plan in writing to the congressional defense committees before presentation of the fiscal year 2006 budget estimate.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OVERVIEW
On May 12, 2004 the President submitted a budget amendment for the Department of Defense, requesting $25,000,000,000 in the Iraq Freedom Fund as a contingent emergency reserve. The Department of Defense developed this recommendation following discussions with our commanders in Iraq and Afghanistan. Developments on the ground and uncertainty when Congress would be in session to consider a fiscal year 2005 supplemental indicated that the availability of a reserve fund may be necessary to ensure there is no disruption in funding and resources for our armed forces.
This contingent emergency reserve fund would be available only after a subsequent request by the President that designates all or some of the funds as an emergency and essential to operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. The cost of continued operations of the next year cannot be estimated with precision at this time. The contingent emergency reserve fund would be accessed should there be a need for additional resources. The Committee understands that the Administration plans to submit a full supplemental request in early 2005 when the Department of Defense will have better information on required resources. Until then, the contingent emergency reserve fund ensures that our troops will have the necessary resources when they need them. Funds spent from the reserve would reduce the cost of a full fiscal year 2005 supplemental request.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Committee fully supports the President's request for a $25,000,000,000 contingent emergency reserve fund, and commends the Administration for submitting this request. Some level of contingency operations funding is clearly required early in fiscal year 2005, to avoid absorbing the incremental costs of increased military operations by disrupting base programs and forcing the cancellation or deferral of planned operational activities.
The Committee recommends providing $25,000,000,000, available upon enactment, as a contingent emergency reserve in the Iraq Freedom Fund [IFF]. The Iraq Freedom Fund, a transfer account created by the Congress in the Emergency Wartime Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2003 (Public Law 108-11) provides necessary financial flexibility and ensures proper congressional oversight. By initially providing resources in the IFF, instead of providing resources in established appropriation accounts, the Committee seeks to be consistent with the Administration's request for a contingent emergency reserve fund that would be used only as needed.
After a budget request and required emergency designation by the President, the Committee recommendation would, by directed transfer from the IFF, provide $22,500,000,000 to established appropriation accounts.
The Committee has maintained a statutory requirements for 5-day advance Congressional notification to Congress before making any transfer from the IFF, and a quarterly reporting requirement on the use of funds.
MILITARY PERSONNEL
The Committee recommends $504,600,000 for the military personnel accounts. Of this amount, the Committee recommends $126,600,000 for the purpose of increasing Family Separation Allowance from $100 to $250 per month and Imminent Danger Pay from $150 to $225 per month. In addition, the Committee recommends $378,000,000 to support increased Army end strength as provided in S. 2400, National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2005. Further, the Committee provides $227,000,000 within this title to support operation and maintenance costs associated with increased Army end strength.
The following table provides details of the recommendation for the military personnel accounts:

Subtotal 45,000
Total, Military personnel 504,600
---------------------------------------------
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
The Committee recommends $17,595,400,000 for the operation and maintenance accounts. Of the total funding in Title IX, the Committee has provided almost three-quarters of the funding in the various operation and maintenance accounts, as these are the accounts most under strain when financing contingency military operations.
These funds are available to fund military operations by the services and Special Operations Forces to include financing flying hours, ship steaming days, ground operations, special airlift missions, increased ship and aircraft maintenance, logistics support, fuel purchases, base support, civilian personnel, personnel support costs, overseas transportation, communications support, facility management and other operation and maintenance requirements.

-------------------------------------------------------------
Reservists Pay Security Act of 2004- The Committee recognizes that S. 2400, National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2005, includes the Reservists Pay Security Act of 2004. This provides for a nonreduction in pay while a Federal employee is mobilized to perform active service as a member of the National Guard or Reserve. Should this provision be adopted in the conference on the defense authorization bill, the Committee directs the Department of Defense to absorb the costs of this new civilian personnel benefit from within funds provided.
PROCUREMENT
The Committee recommends $2,304,000,000 for the procurement accounts. Of this amount, the Committee recommends $1,750,000,000 to fund the Army's most urgently required procurement needs, including improving force protection, accelerating Army modularity, and procuring essential equipment and munitions. In addition, the Committee recommends $554,000,000 to fund the Marine Corps' most urgently required procurement needs, including improving force protection, and procuring essential equipment and munitions.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Rapid Response Force Protection Initiative- The Committee notes with great interest the recent increase in spending for Up Armored High Mobility Multi-purpose Wheeled Vehicles [UAHs]. The Committee also believes that an increased buy of UAHs is not the only solution to increased protection for our deployed soldiers in the field. In the interest of expanding force protection options at the disposal of theater commanders, the Committee strongly encourages the Army to explore increased flexibility with regard to force protection. For example, individual situations may warrant different responses in the way of armored protection for deployed soldiers. Additional convoy protection may be best served by not only one single variant of armored vehicle, but by a combination of both heavy and light vehicles. These vehicles may include UAHs, armored personnel carriers (M-113A2/3) with armor kits, bolt-on armor kits, applied up-armoring systems, armored cabs, or armored security vehicles [ASV]. Therefore, the Committee recommends an additional $865,000,000 to be used by the Army for the purpose of rapid response to force protection. It is the intent of the Committee that this appropriation shall be used to purchase and modify such vehicles as are needed to respond rapidly and dynamically to the threat presented due to IEDs and mortar attacks currently experienced by deployed U.S. forces. Such procurements shall include UAHs, armor bolt-on kits for M-113A2/3 armored personnel carriers, bolt-on armor kits, applied up-armoring systems, armored cabs, or armored security vehicles. The Secretary of the Army shall provide a report to the congressional defense committees detailing all expenditures made using these funds.
DEFENSE HEALTH PROGRAM
The Committee recommends $746,000,000 for the Defense Health Program. These funds are for incremental wartime operating expenses in the military medical system, including additional health care costs that result from mobilizing members of the reserve components. Also, the recommendation provides funds for 5 months of enhanced TRICARE benefits for members of the National Guard and Reserve as included in S. 2400, National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2005. These enhanced benefits include the extension of pre-deployment and post-deployment eligibility for TRICARE, and the enrollment of non-active duty status reservists into TRICARE on a cost sharing basis.
CLASSIFIED PROGRAMS
The Committee recommends $1,250,000,000 for classified programs, described in further detail in the classified annex.
IRAQI CAPTURED ENEMY AMMUNITION
The Committee recommends $100,000,000 for the purpose of securing and destroying conventional munitions in Iraq.
As of June 11, 2004, approximately 340,000 tons of enemy ammunition have been discovered in Iraq and Coalition Forces are discovering additional weapons caches on almost a daily basis. Currently, captured ammunition is stored at 58 sites throughout the country. Of these sites, there are 15 secured sites and 43 partially secured sites. The Committee is extremely concerned about reports that weapons, ammunition and explosives at many of the partially secured sites are easily accessible to enemy combatants that have the means to load and transport them. To address this serious issue, the Committee provides $100,000,000 to consolidate, secure, demilitarize and account for Captured Enemy Ammunition [CEA] in Iraq. The Department of Defense should consult with the Iraqi Interim Government to ensure that this initiative is fully coordinated between the two countries. In addition, the Committee directs the Director of the Office of Management in Budget [OMB] to conduct an inter-agency review to assess and establish the best approaches and identify innovative technology solutions for accomplishing the goal of securing and demilitarizing CEA in Iraq. This review is to be conducted in consultation with the Chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff and other Executive Branch Agencies. Further, the Committee directs OMB to report the findings of this review to the congressional defense committees no later than November 15, 2004.
FUNDING SHORTFALLS
The Committee understands the tremendous financial burden the Global War on Terrorism has placed upon the Department and recommends that of the funds provided in Title IX up to $740,000,000 may be used for the Defense Working Capital Funds to address increased fuel costs, up to $100,000,000 may be used to purchase equipment for the National Guard and Reserve, and up to $100,000,000 may be used for United States Coast Guard operations in support of the Department of Defense in Iraq and Afghanistan.
REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
The Committee is disappointed by the responsiveness of the Defense Department in reports required under Public Law 108-11, Public Law 108-106, and Public Law 108-87. While recent reporting has been better, on balance, the reports lack details and arrive significantly later than required. Many are still outstanding. Reports such as the quarterly reports for the Iraq Freedom Fund and quarterly reports for the Commanders Emergency Response Fund have lacked sufficient detail for the Committees' oversight responsibilities.
Therefore, the Committee directs the Department to include meaningful detail beyond the appropriation account and sub-activity group to describe the purposes and specific use of funding in all reports submitted to the Committee. The Committee expects that these reports will be completed and delivered to the Committee by the proposed due dates and the reports will detail the projects, operations, equipment, personnel, and benefits funded through these accounts.

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.'
At the point when the Committee reports this measure, the Congress has not completed action on the Fiscal Year 2005 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, on June 22, 2004, the Committee ordered reported S. 2559, an original bill making appropriations for the Department of Defense for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2005, subject to amendment, by a unanimous voice vote, a quorum being present.
COMPLIANCE WITH PARAGRAPH 12, RULE XXVI OF THE STANDING RULES OF THE SENATE
Paragraph 12 of rule XXVI requires that Committee reports on a bill or joint resolution repealing or amending any statute or part of any statute include `(a) the text of the statute or part thereof which is proposed to be repealed; and (b) a comparative print of that part of the 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.'
With respect to this bill, it is the opinion of the Committee that it is necessary to dispense with these requirements in order to expedite the business of the Senate.
