CORRECTION TO THE CONGRESSIONAL RECORD OF THURSDAY, AUGUST 17, 1994, ON 
PAGE H. 8558, DURING DEBATE ON S. 2182, NATIONAL DEFENSE AUTHORIZATION 
                        ACT FOR FISCAL YEAR 1995

  Mr. DELLUMS. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself 1 minute for the purpose of 
entering into a colloquy with the distinguished gentleman from 
Massachusetts [Mr. Moakley].
  Mr. MOAKLEY. If the gentleman will yield. I would like to join in the 
praise for the distinguished gentleman from California [Mr. Dellums] 
for the work he has done as chairman of the Armed Services Committee.
  Mr. Speaker, the Navy recently approved Milestone III for the 
submarine acoustic device countermeasure Mark IV program. The Navy 
originally intended to include funds for the program in their fiscal 
year 1995 request but because the Milestone III approval came too late, 
the item was absent from the President's budget request. The approval 
was made in time, however, for the Armed Services Committee to include 
full funding, $12 million, in the House-passed authorization bill.
  Funds were provided last year and I believe the Navy will request 
continuing funds next year. Fiscal year 1995 funding was problematic 
only because of the timing of the operational evaluation. It is my hope 
that the necessary funding may be provided in the fiscal year 1995 
Appropriation Act and I seek clarification that, if we are successful, 
there will be no objection from the authorizing committee.
  Mr. DELLUMS. I thank my colleague from Massachusetts and would like 
to reiterate the Armed Services Committee support for the ADC Mark IV 
program. I agree with the gentleman's account of the legislative 
history and I would add that if the defense appropriations conference 
report provides funds for the ADC Mark IV program, the Armed Services 
Committee does not object. I will also add that if the funds are 
appropriated, the item should not be treated as an unauthorized 
appropriation.
