       Sec. 8115. (a) International Peacekeeping, Peace

     the sense of Congress that in the event of a deployment or 
     participation of United States Armed Forces units in any 
     international peacekeeping, peace enforcement, and 
     humanitarian assistance operation, the President must engage 
     in consultations with the bipartisan leadership of Congress

     regarding such operation in accordance with subsection 
     (c)(1).
       (b) Covered Operations.--(1) This section applies to the

     subsection (a) in the case of any operation shall be 
     initiated before the initial deployment of United States 
     Armed Forces units to participate in the operation and, 
     whenever possible, at least 15 days before such deployment. 
     However, if the President determines that the national 
     security so requires, the President may delay the initiation 
     of such consultations until after such initial deployment, 
     but in no case may such consultations be initiated later than 
     48 hours after such deployment.
       (2) Such consultations shall include discussion of all of

       (d) Requests for Emergency Supplemental Appropriations.--
     Whenever there is a deployment of United States Armed Forces 
     to perform an international humanitarian, peacekeeping, or 
     peace-enforcement operation, the President should seek 
     emergency supplemental appropriations to meet the incremental 
     costs to the Department of Defense of that deployment not 
     later than 90 days after the date on which such deployment

       Sec. 8116. (a) Findings.--The Senate makes the following 
     findings:
       (1) The President of France stated on June 13, 1995, that 
     the Republic of France plans to conduct eight nuclear test 
     explosions over the next several months.
       (2) The People's Republic of China continues to conduct 
     underground nuclear weapons tests.
       (3) The United States, France, Russia, and Great Britain 
     have observed a moratorium on nuclear testing since 1992.
       (4) A resumption of testing by the Republic of France could 
     result in the disintegration of the current testing 
     moratorium and a renewal of underground testing by other 
     nuclear weapon states.
       (5) A resumption of nuclear testing by the Republic of 
     France raises serious environmental and health concerns.
       (6) The United Nations Conference on Disarmament presently 
     is meeting in Geneva, Switzerland, for the purpose of 
     negotiating a Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty (CTBT), 
     which would halt permanently the practice of conducting 
     nuclear test explosions.
       (7) Continued underground weapons testing by the Republic 
     of France and the People's Republic of China undermines the 
     efforts of the international community to conclude a CTBT by 
     1996, a goal endorsed by 175 nations, at the recently 
     completed NPT Extension and Review Conference (the conference 
     for the extension and review of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation 
     Treaty).
       (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate 
     that the Republic of France and the People's Republic of 
     China should abide by the current international moratorium on 
     nuclear test explosions and refrain from conducting 
     underground nuclear tests in advance of a Comprehensive Test 
     Ban Treaty.

     services) for use in the activities described in subsection 
     (b) unless the congressional defense committees, and the 
     Committee on International Relations of the House of 
     Representatives and the Committee on Foreign Relations of the 
     Senate are notified 15 days in advance of such transfer.
       (b) Covered Activities.--(1) This section applies to--
       (A) any international peacekeeping or peace-enforcement 
     operation under the authority of chapter VI or chapter VII of

     Nations Security Council resolution; and

     all elements of the Armed Forces (including the reserve 
     components) for the type of equipment or supplies to be 
     transferred have been met; and

     States arrearage to the United Nations.

       (2) such bonus is part of restructuring costs associated 
     with a business combination.

       JOINT EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF THE COMMITTEE OF CONFERENCE

       The managers on the part of the House and the Senate at the 
     further conference on the disagreeing votes of the two Houses 
     on the amendment of the Senate to the bill (H.R. 2126), 
     making appropriations for the Department of Defense for the 
     fiscal year ending September 30, 1996, and for other 
     purposes, submit the following joint statement to the House 
     and the Senate in explanation of the effect of the action 
     agreed upon by the managers and recommended in the 
     accompanying conference report.
       The conference agreement on the Department of Defense 
     Appropriations Act, 1996, incorporates some of the provisions 
     of both the House and Senate versions of the bill. The 
     language and allocations set forth in House Report 104-208 
     and Senate Report 104-124 should be complied with unless 
     specifically addressed in the accompanying bill and statement 
     of the managers to the contrary.
       Senate Amendment: The Senate deleted the entire House bill 
     after the enacting clause and inserted the Senate bill. The 
     conference agreement includes a revised bill.


              DEFINITION OF PROGRAM, PROJECT, AND ACTIVITY

       The conferees agree that for the purposes of the Balanced 
     Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 (Public Law 
     99-177) as amended by the Balanced Budget and Emergency 
     Deficit Control Reaffirmation Act of 1987 (Public Law 100-
     119) and by the Budget Enforcement Act of 1990 (Public Law 
     101-508), the term program, project, and activity for 
     appropriations contained in this Act shall be defined as the 
     most specific level of budget items identified in the 
     Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 1996, the 
     accompanying House and Senate Committee reports, the 
     conference report and accompanying joint explanatory 
     statement of the managers of the Committee of Conference, the 
     related classified annexes and reports, and the P-1 and R-1 
     budget justification documents as subsequently modified by 
     Congressional action. The following exception to the above 
     definition shall apply:
       For the Military Personnel and the Operation and 
     Maintenance accounts, the term ``program, project, and 
     activity'' is defined as the appropriations accounts 
     contained in the Department of Defense Appropriations Act. At 
     the time the President submits his budget for fiscal year 
     1997, the conferees direct the Department of Defense to 
     transmit to the congressional defense committees a budget 
     justification document to be known as the ``O-1'' which shall 
     identify, at the budget activity, activity group, and 
     subactivity group level, the amounts requested by the 
     President to be appropriated to the Department of Defense for 
     operation and maintenance in any budget request, or amended 
     budget request, for fiscal year 1997.

                      TITLE I--MILITARY PERSONNEL

       The conferees agree to the following amounts and end 
     strength totals for the Military Personnel accounts as 
     follows:

           operations provide comfort/enhanced southern watch

       The conference agreement includes $647,100,000, as proposed 
     by the House, for unbudgeted costs associated with Operations 
     Provide Comfort and Enhanced Southern Watch. Of this amount, 
     $77,500,000 is appropriated in Title I, Military Personnel, 
     and $569,600,000 is appropriated in Title II, Operation and 
     Maintenance. The conferees designate these funds as an item 
     of Congressional interest, meaning they can only be used for 
     additional incremental costs of Operations Provide Comfort 
     and Enhanced Southern Watch unless prior approval is granted 
     by the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations through 
     normal reprogramming procedures. In addition, the conferees 
     direct that none of these funds may be obligated or expended 
     unless the costs of these operations are fully submitted in 
     the President's fiscal year 1997 budget request. The 
     conferees direct that funds shall be available for obligation 
     only after submission of the fiscal year 1997 budget request, 
     and only if the request fully funds and details the estimated 
     costs of these operations. The conferees direct the Secretary 
     of Defense to provide a report to the House and Senate 
     Committees on Appropriations by January 30, 1996, on planned 
     obligations and expenditures of these funds.


                        force structure changes

       The conferees recommend an increase of $38,500,000 to 
     maintain fiscal year 1995 Primary Authorized Aircraft (PAA) 
     levels in Air National Guard general purpose fighter forces 
     during fiscal year 1996.
       The conferees recommend an increase of $34,200,000 to 
     sustain the maritime patrol aircraft force structure at 13 
     active and 9 reserve squadrons in fiscal year 1996.
       The conferees also recommend an increase of $9,600,000 for 
     additional Marine Corps Reserve full-time support, in order 
     to facilitate the Marine Corps Reserve's contingency role and 
     operations.


                       army personnel shortfalls

       The conferees recommend an increase of $137,000,000 to 
     ``Military Personnel, Army'' to cover unfunded requirements 
     associated with the downsizing of Army forces. Previous 
     congressional limitations on end strength and other Army 
     manpower assumptions have contributed to an increase in the 
     cost of the force since anticipated personnel losses did not 
     occur as planned. The conferees agree this is necessary in 
     order to prevent readiness and quality of life problems 
     during the fiscal year.


        military technician and medical personnel reprogramming

       The conferees direct that the Department of Defense, in the 
     event of sequestration during fiscal year 1996, protect 
     military (civilian) technicians and medical personnel 
     necessary to maintain the current level of medical and 
     Reserve Component operations, from any associated reduction 
     of personnel pay and medical programs (to include CHAMPUS).


                      basic allowance for quarters

       The conferees agree to provide $72,366,000, as proposed by 
     the Senate, for an increase in the Basic Allowance for 
     Quarters, to be effective January 1, 1996.

                    military (civilian) technicians

       The conferees recommend an increase of $40,500,000 in the 
     Operation and Maintenance accounts of the Army Reserve, Air 
     Force Reserve, Army National Guard, and Air National Guard 
     for additional military (civilian) technicians. The conferees 
     remain concerned about the significant reduction to military 
     technicians contained in the President's budget request and 
     expect these funds to not be used for any other purpose 
     without a prior approval reprogramming being submitted 
     through normal channels. Additionally, the conferees direct 
     the Department to provide the required number of workyears 
     needed to sustain the levels of military (civilian) 
     technicians as provided in this Act. The conferees also 
     include a general provision (Section 8087) which prohibits 
     reducing the full-time support levels for technicians unless 
     such technicians are a result of a reduction in military 
     force structure. The conferees expect the Department to 
     follow the intent of this provision.

                 support of the u.s. antarctic program

       The conferees agree to continue the Department of Defense 
     support to the U.S. Antarctic Program. However, in light of 
     the Congressional requirement for the National Science and 
     Technology Council to undertake a Government-wide policy 
     review of DoD's role in the Antarctic program no later than 
     March 31, 1996, future Defense involvement in this mission 
     will be reassessed after receipt of that report. The 
     conferees believe that Air National Guard participation in 
     this project is predicated only on full reimbursement by the 
     National Science Foundation and shall not conflict with any 
     other Air National Guard mission.

              budget justification and execution materials

       The conferees are encouraged by the steps the Department 
     has taken to improve the Operation and maintenance program 
     justification materials submitted to the Congress. In order 
     to further these efforts, the conferees direct the Department 
     to:
       provide the Committees on Appropriations quarterly budget 
     execution reports for all Operation and maintenance accounts 
     for fiscal year 1996. These reports should reflect the O-1 
     categories used in the budget justification materials. 
     Reports should be submitted within 60 days of the end of the 
     quarter to which they apply, concurrently to the Office of 
     Management and Budget;
       provide the Committees on Appropriations quarterly reports 
     describing the execution of real property maintenance 
     programs. These reports should describe those activities 
     specifically and/or generally described by the Congress and 
     should separately identify activity related to barracks 
     renovation. Real Property Maintenance is designated an item 
     of congressional interest; transfers from real property 
     maintenance programs to other activities are subject to 
     prior-notification reprogramming procedures.
       The conferees agree that proposed transfers of funds 
     between O-1 budget activity funding categories in excess of 
     $20,000,000 are subject to normal reprogramming procedures. 
     In addition, due to continuing concerns about force readiness 
     and the possible diversion of Operation and maintenance 
     funds, the conferees agree that the Department should provide 
     written notification to the congressional defense committees 
     prior to transfers in excess of $20,000,000 from the 
     following subactivity group categories:
     O&M, Army
       Operating forces: Combat units; Tactical support; Force 
     related training/special activities; Depot maintenance.
     O&M, Navy
       Operating forces: Mission and other flight operations; 
     Aircraft depot maintenance; Mission and other ship 
     operations; Ship depot maintenance.
     O&M, Marine Corps
       Operating forces: Operational forces
     O&M, Air Force
       Operating forces: Primary combat forces; Primary combat 
     weapons; Air operations training. Mobilization: Airlift 
     operations.


                          financial management

       The conferees are concerned about the state of financial 
     management in the Department of Defense and the measures that 
     may be taken to improve upon past performance. Both the House 
     and Senate reports on the fiscal year 1996 Department of 
     Defense Appropriations Bill recommended several items for the 
     Department's consideration. These items should be merged into 
     a single report due to the Committees on Appropriations 

[[Page H12430]]
     not later than May 31, 1996. The DoD report should address the 
     following issues:
       the state of Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) 
     consolidation and future reorganization plans. Of specific 
     interest are DoD plans concerning establishment of 20 DFAS 
     operating locations;
       opportunities for utilizing private sector financial 
     services to meet non-unique departmental requirements such as 
     travel processing, payroll and contract disbursements;
       procedural changes designed to improve DoD performance in 
     the areas of unmatched disbursements and negative 
     unliquidated obligations;
       the estimated resource requirements to achieve long term 
     improvements of DoD financial management procedures and 
     systems.


                       Real Property Maintenance

       The conferees agree with the Senate in providing an 
     additional $322,000,000 for barracks renovation. The 
     conferees have provided a total increase of $700,000,000 to 
     the Real Property Maintenance account.

                           security programs

       The conferees agree to reduce the military departments' 
     security program accounts and the On-Site Inspection Agency. 
     In order to meet emergent requirements stemming from valid 
     treaty obligations, the conferees expect the Department of 
     Defense to submit a reprogramming request subject to normal, 
     prior approval reprogramming procedures.


                      transportation improvements

       The conferees agree that the Department of Defense should 
     be able to improve the efficiency of the transportation 
     organizations and infrastructure under the control of the 
     U.S. Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM). The conferees 
     direct that the Department of Defense report to the 
     congressional defense committees not later than March 31, 
     1996, on measures that will be taken to achieve improvements 
     in this area.


             international military training and education

       The conferees express their continued support for the 
     International Military Education and Training Program. The 
     conferees note however that this program is funded within 
     international affairs programs and is properly within the 
     jurisdiction of the Subcommittees on Foreign Operations. 
     Therefore, the conferees direct that no funds appropriated in 
     this Act be used for foreign operations costs associated with 
     the International Military Education and Training program.


                    defense commissary access policy

       The conferees direct a report be made by the General 
     Accounting Office to the Committee on Appropriations of the 
     Senate and the House of Representatives on any changes in DoD 
     commissary access policy, including providing reservists new 
     or additional privileges, and addressing any resulting 
     financial impact on the commissaries.


       military traffic management command reengineering program

       The conferees direct the Department of Defense to provide a 
     report on its pilot program to implement commercial business 
     practices and standards of service for its movement of 
     military household goods, to the congressional defense 
     committees by March 1, 1997. This report should fully assess 
     how the pilot program impacts the government's transportation 
     costs as compared to the current program. The conferees 
     expect the Department to fairly evaluate the present program 
     as modified by the removal of government unique terms, 
     conditions and regulations and using simplified procedures. 
     This analysis shall determine whether the proposed 
     reengineering of the current program is economically 
     justified, can achieve a higher level of service and lower 
     claims frequency.
       In addition, the conferees direct the Department to report 
     by January 1, 1996, prior to the implementation of any 
     element of the pilot program, on its impact on small 
     businesses resulting from, but not limited to, the 
     application of the Federal Acquisition Regulations, and the 
     requirement of any program elements that are not standard 
     commercial business practices.

                  conventional ammunition maintenance

       The conferees direct that of the funds provided for 
     conventional ammunition care and maintenance, the Army shall 
     expend not less than $300,853,000 for this purpose.


                            national presto

       The conferees direct that not less than $15,000,000 be made 
     available in the ``Operation and Maintenance, Army'' account 
     only for the remediation of environmental contamination at 
     the National Presto Industries, Inc. site in Eau Claire, 
     Wisconsin. These funds are to be made available only for the 
     implementation and execution of the 1988 agreement between 
     the Department of the Army and National Presto Industries, 
     Inc., within sixty days of the enactment of this Act and 
     without being made subject to any studies, reports or other 
     pre-conditions that would in any way delay or obstruct the 
     obligation and disbursal of the funds. The conferees are 
     satisfied that sufficient studies of this matter already have 
     been done.


                   life sciences equipment laboratory

       The conferees direct that the Army shall make available 
     $500,000 to the Life Sciences Equipment Laboratory at Kelly 
     AFB, Texas, for work in support of the Joint Task Force--Full 
     Accounting.


                   fort wainwright emergency repairs

       The conferees agree to provide $8,000,000 of available 
     funds, for emergency repairs for the Fort Wainwright Central 
     Heat and Power Plant.


               contractor-operated parts stores (copars)

       The conferees are concerned by the issues raised in a 
     recent GAO study of the COPARS program questioning the 
     methodology used by certain military commanders to justify 
     the use of alternative approaches. The conferees direct the 
     services to suspend all efforts directed toward the 
     elimination of COPARS unless and until economic analyses are 
     approved that clearly show other alternatives to be more 
     cost-effective. Such economic analyses must compare like 
     items of cost (including labor and overhead costs of any 
     COPARS alternative) and must fully address the concerns about 
     earlier analyses cited in the GAO report. To ensure the 
     fairness and objectivity of any such analysis, the conferees 
     direct the Secretary to designate a single point of contact 
     within the Office of the Secretary of Defense for approval of 
     study methodology and any final recommendations.

                joint analysis model improvement program

       The conferees agree that, of the funds provided, 
     $11,200,000 shall be made available for the Joint Analysis 
     Model Improvement Program.


                          pentagon renovation

       The conferees direct that the Pentagon renovation funding 
     be consolidated in the ``Operation and Maintenance, Defense-
     Wide'' account. The conferees have provided a total of 
     $108,020,000 for the Pentagon renovation.


                      troops to cops and teachers

       The Senate included language providing $52,000,000 to 
     continue the Troops to Cops and Troops to Teachers programs. 
     The conferees have deleted this language. The conferees 
     expect the Defense Department to consider using existing 
     resources within this appropriation, if available, to 
     continue these programs.


    transition assistance program and relocation assistance program

       The conferees agree to provide $49,300,000 for the 
     Transition Assistance Program and $18,504,000 for the 
     Relocation Assistance Program for fiscal year 1996. However, 
     the conferees are concerned that these programs have become 
     permanent entities, even though they were initiated to 
     provide service members and their families with separation 
     and relocation assistance resulting from the drawdown. At the 
     end of fiscal year 1996, the Department of Defense will have 
     largely completed its downsizing effort. Accordingly, the 
     conferees direct the Department to report to the Defense 
     Committees no later than March 1, 1996, on phasing out these 
     programs, and what, if any residual level of continued 
     resourcing is required.

                   Environmental Restoration, Defense

       The conferees agree to provide $1,422,200,000 for 
     Environmental Restoration, Defense.


                       environmental remediation

       The conferees support the ``relative risk'' approach to 
     environmental remediation and expect the Department to make 
     sure the most hazardous sites receive primary attention. 
     While the conferees believe that all bases--those closing and 
     those remaining open--must meet environmental standards the 
     Department must not let ongoing environmental clean-up 
     efforts preclude reuse opportunities at closing military 
     installations. In these cases, the Department should work 
     aggressively and innovatively with State and local officials 
     to lower clean-up costs and to be sure environmental issues 
     do not make it harder for affected communities to recover 
     from losing a military installation.

                            Summer Olympics

       The conference agreement recommends an appropriation of 
     $15,000,000 as proposed by the House and Senate for support 
     of the 1996 Games of the XXVI Olympiad.

             Overseas Humanitarian, Disaster, and Civic Aid

       The conferees agree to provide $50,000,000 for these 
     functions of which $20,000,000 is specifically earmarked for 
     training and activities related to the clearing of landmines 
     for humanitarian purposes.
       The conferees also agree to the House recommendation to 
     consolidate all funds for humanitarian, disaster, and civil 
     aid into a single account.

                  Former Soviet Union Threat Reduction

       The conferees agree to provide $300,000,000 for the Former 
     Soviet Union Threat Reduction program, a reduction of 
     $71,000,000 from the budget request. Funding provided at the 
     subprogram level appears in the following table:

      Total......................      371      200      325        300 
------------------------------------------------------------------------


       Although no new funds are provided for the Defense 
     Enterprise Fund, the conferees agree that up to $2,000,000 of 
     previously appropriated funds may be expended to administer 
     the continued operation of the Defense Enterprise Fund 
     program currently underway. The conferees have included two 
     general provisions regarding the Former Soviet Union Threat 
     Reduction program involving the limitation on expenditures of 
     funds for the Chemical Weapons Destruction program and a 
     prohibition on providing funds for housing for current or 
     former Soviet military officers.

                         TITLE III--PROCUREMENT

       The conference agreement is as follows:

            Joint Forces Command, Control and Communications

       The conferees understand the importance of interoperability 
     for joint forces in war and peacetime and have provided an 
     additional $103,300,000 to correct critical deficiencies. 
     However, through testimony from the Vice Chairman, Joint 
     Chiefs of Staff, Service Chiefs and Commanders in Chief of 
     the various Unified and Specified Commands, the conferees 
     believe that deficiencies in command, control and 
     communications still exist. The conferees encourage the 
     Secretary of Defense to provide adequate resources for joint 
     interoperability initiatives and will entertain reprogramming 
     action that provides additional funds for this purpose.


                   ammunition and missile quantities

       The conferees agree the quantities of missiles and 
     ammunition noted in the following tables are to be considered 
     a floor and direct the Department to buy as many units as 
     appropriated funds will allow. In no case shall the 
     Department buy less than the quantities noted in the table 
     unless the congressional defense committees are informed as 
     to why these levels are unachievable.

                          AH-64 Modifications

       The conferees agree to provide the budget request of 
     $53,596,000 for AH-64 modifications. Of this amount, 
     $3,000,000 shall be used to procure additional embedded 
     global positioning/inertial navigation systems for Apache 
     helicopters.


                                 uh-60

       The conferees agree with the Senate language regarding 
     enhanced protection systems. However, in view of the 
     conference agreement to fund a multi-year procurement program 
     for the UH-60, the conferees believe that the House-
     recommended report on helicopter production strategies is not 
     required.


                      High capacity air ambulance

       The conferees are deeply concerned by the failure of the 
     Army to address the need for a High Capacity Air Ambulance 
     (HCAA). The Army Surgeon General has stated that this is one 
     of his highest priorities. The conferees direct the Army to 
     seek an appropriate solution and report the results of the 
     planned joint exercise with the Air Force and National Guard 
     by February 15, 1996. The report should include the 
     feasibility of utilizing C-130s for the HCAA fixed wing 
     requirement, the role of the Army and Air National Guard in 
     this mission, and requirements for the UH-60L and or UH-60Q 
     helicopters for the National Guard in order to accomplish the 
     rotary wing portion of this mission. The conferees direct 
     that, of the funds appropriated for UH-60Ls, the first 9 
     aircraft to be procured within the Aircraft Procurement, Army 
     appropriation will be assigned to the National Guard.

     be transferred to the National Guard.

                   navstar global positioning system

       The conferees agree to provide $32,502,000 for the Navstar 
     Global Positioning System, an increase of $17,500,000 to 
     complete the installation of global positioning systems on 
     all Army active and reserve aircraft. The conferees direct 
     that priority installation be given to the 1/207th Aviation 
     Regiment because of their unique search and rescue mission in 
     remote areas.


                         jstars ground stations

       The conferees do not agree on the transfer language for 
     JSTARS ground stations from the Army to the Marine Corps. The 
     conferees have provided funds in the Procurement, Marine 
     Corps appropriation for JSTARS ground stations.

                            f/a-18c/d hornet

       The conferees agree to provide $822,669,000 for the 
     acquisition of eighteen F/A-18C/D aircraft. The conferees do 
     not agree with the House reduction of funds for procurement 
     of ALR-67(V)3 radar warning receivers.


                                 t-39n

       The conferees agree to provide $45,000,000 to purchase 17 
     T-39N aircraft. The conferees also agree with the House's 
     direction for the Navy to transition to a competitive 
     purchase of services contract for logistical support for the 
     T-39N fleet after aircraft acquisition. However, the 
     conferees direct that this transition should occur at the 
     conclusion of the current T-39N contract, which is due to 
     expire at the end of fiscal year 1998.


                                 ea-6b

       The conferees agree to provide $165,000,000 for 
     modifications and improvements to the EA-6B electronic 
     warfare aircraft. The funds are approved for the following 
     purposes: $100,000,000 to modify 20 more aircraft to enable 
     the Navy to support Air Force requirements; $40,000,000 to 
     buy 60 shipsets of Band 9/10 jammer transmitters; and 
     $25,000,000 to buy 30 USQ-113 radio countermeasures sets. The 
     conferees further agree to modify the Senate's direction to 
     use prior year funds for the acquisition of Band 9/10 
     jammers, which is now not necessary because they have 
     provided sufficient fiscal year 1996 funds to procure these 
     systems. The conferees urge the Navy to buy these systems 
     expeditiously.


                           p-3 modifications

       The conferees agree with the Senate's direction regarding 
     acquisition of the AN/AAQ-22 thermal imaging system and 
     incorporation of that system into the P-3 Antisurface Warfare 
     Improvement Program (AIP).


                          common ecm equipment

       The conferees support the use of the LAU-138/A launch rail 
     chaff dispenser system on Navy tactical aircraft as a cost 
     effective means for improving aircrew/aircraft survivability. 
     The conferees direct that these systems be managed as fleet 
     armament equipment pool assets to afford maximum flexibility 
     and cost savings, and that all remaining prior year funds 
     appropriated for these systems be expeditiously applied 
     toward this purpose.


                        aviation multiyear fund

       The conferees do not agree to provide funds for an Aviation 
     Multiyear Fund as proposed by the House. The Navy is 
     therefore not required to solicit multiyear bids from E-2C, 
     AV-8B, and T-45 manufacturers, although it may do so if 
     circumstances warrant.

                        5 inch/54 gun ammunition

       The conferees agree to provide $36,000,000, an increase of 
     $14,499,000 only for 5 inch/54 gun ammunition. Despite 
     Congressional direction to correct the requirements process 
     and provide adequate funding for fleet training ammunition, 
     the Navy has chosen once again to provide insufficient 
     funding. The conferees direct the Secretary of Navy to ensure 
     that adequate funding is provided in subsequent budget 
     requests for fleet training ammunition.

                                 ddg-51

       The conferees agree to provide $2,169,257,000 for the 
     purchase of three DDG-51 class destroyers. The conferees 
     believe contracting for three ships will generate increased 
     economies of scale and provide stability for the Navy and the 
     shipbuilding industrial base.


                     LPD-17 RCS Engineering Support

       The conferees note that as a result of the Base Realignment 
     and Closure decisions, the Navy has reorganized and 
     consolidated its Radio Communications Systems (RCS) 
     engineering, production, testing, integration and training 
     support activities. In assigning RCS engineering support 
     workload for the LPD-17 class of ships, the conferees expect 
     that the Navy will assign such workload to the most 
     appropriate facility.


                                T-AGS-64

       The conferees agree to provide $16,000,000 for advance 
     procurement for a T-AGS-64 multi-purpose oceanographic survey 
     ship.


                                 LSD-52

       The conferees agree to provide $20,000,000 as recommended 
     by the House for one additional SSDS MK-1 unit which the 
     conferees direct be installed on LSD-52 during its 
     construction prior to delivery of this vessel to the fleet.


                          SHIP COST ADJUSTMENT

       The conferees do not agree to the House proposal to modify 
     the ship cost adjustment process by eliminating specific 
     designations in the bill, providing new transfer authority, 
     and providing reprogramming limitations. The conferees also 
     do not agree to the House requirement to include ship cost 
     adjustments in the annual omnibus reprogramming process.
       Within the ship cost adjustment implemented in section 8091 
     of the Act, the conferees have allocated funds for potential 
     settlement of claims on the AOE class of ships. This action 
     is taken solely to facilitate the Navy's ability to implement 
     a settlement, should one be reached.

                      HM&E Items Under $2,000,000

       The conferees agree to provide $33,389,000 for ``HM&E Items 
     Under $2,000,000'', a reduction of $10,000,000. This 
     decrease, which is applied against the Surface Ship Support 
     Equipment portion, includes a reduction of $3,760,000 against 
     the Gaseous Nitrogen Generator subproject.


                          fleet modernization

       The conferees agree to provide $3,000,000 for procurement 
     of propeller shaft composite 

[[Page H12443]]
     fairwaters to be backfit on CG 47 class cruisers during overhaul.


                             radar support

       The conferees agree to provide $14,466,000 for the Radar 
     Support program, an increase of $14,000,000. The increase 
     includes $9,000,000 for the AN/BPS-16 submarine radar and 
     $5,000,000 for the AN/SPA-25G Radar Display program.


                    surface sonar windows and domes

       The conferees agree to provide $6,000,000 for procurement 
     of replacement sonar rubber domes and windows, provision of 
     safety-related field service repair and change-out of this 
     equipment, and product improvements to increase durability 
     and service life.


                    weapons range support equipment

       The conferees agree to provide $48,830,000, an increase of 
     $8,550,000, for Weapons Range Support Equipment program. The 
     net increase includes a decrease of $1,200,000 for the 
     Electronic Warfare Response Monitor subprogram and an 
     increase of $9,750,000 as proposed by the Senate.


                   surface tomahawk support equipment

       The conferees agree to provide $61,293,000 for the Surface 
     Tomahawk Support Equipment program, a reduction of 
     $10,000,000. The reduction is against the Afloat Planning 
     System (APS) subprogram. The conferees are concerned that the 
     Navy does not currently have an operational doctrine for the 
     tactical use of Tomahawk cruise missiles by ship commanders. 
     Furthermore, the conferees question the need to deploy APS on 
     all carriers in light of the Challenge Athena satellite 
     communications project.


                            an/sps-48e radar

       The conferees direct that the funds previously appropriated 
     for Pulse Doppler Mod Kits for AN/SPS-48E radars be released 
     to the Navy. The modification of the radar will significantly 
     improve its operational effectiveness when operating in 
     littoral waters and therefore will improve the entire surface 
     fleet's tactical situation awareness when it is incorporated 
     into the Cooperative Engagement Capability. Given the vital 
     link between these two programs, the conferees further direct 
     that management and execution of the upgrade to the AN/SPS-
     48E radar program be conducted by the Program Executive 
     Officer for Theater Air Defense.


                       hf link 11 data terminals

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

                     intelligence support equipment

       The conferees agree to provide $35,283,000 for intelligence 
     support equipment, an increase of $29,000,000. Of the 
     increase, $16,500,000 is only for two JSTARS ground stations 
     and $12,500,000 is only for Commander's Tactical Terminals.


                       right hand drive vehicles

       The conferees have reviewed the implementation of Public 
     Law 100-370, which amended title 10 U.S.C. (2253) to limit 
     the amount available for purchase of right hand drive 
     vehicles to $12,000. The conferees agree that this limitation 
     should only apply to the purchase of passenger sedans 
     manufactured outside of the United States. Further, this 
     limitation does not affect the use of any right hand drive 
     vehicle provided as part of the local contribution towards 
     the basing of U.S. forces in the Host Nation.

                           strategic airlift

       The conferees agree to provide $183,757,000 for strategic 
     airlift, the amount of the budget request. It is the 
     conferees' belief that the Defense Acquisition Board's 
     upcoming decision on the optimal composition of the airlift 
     fleet will require the continued production of C-17 aircraft. 
     The conferees therefore direct that from the amount of 
     funding provided for strategic airlift the Department of 
     Defense must give first priority to fully funding advance 
     procurement for continued production of C-17 aircraft in 
     fiscal year 1997.


                           b-1b modifications

       The conferees agree to provide $68,483,000 for B-1B 
     modifications, a decrease of $6,900,000 to the budget 
     request. The amount provided by the conferees includes a 
     decrease of $14,100,000 from cost savings for miscellaneous 
     modifications and an increase of $7,200,000 for reliability 
     and maintainability improvements identified during the B-1B 
     operational readiness assessment. The conferees also agree 
     with the Senate's reporting requirement about expanding the 
     B-1B conventional mission upgrade program.


                                  a-10

       The conferees agree to provide $41,024,000, a decrease of 
     $38,400,000 to the budget request for A-10 modifications. The 
     deleted funds are excess to program requirements for fiscal 
     year 1996.


                           f-15 modifications

       The conferees agree to provide $78,288,000, a decrease of 
     $1,200,000 to the budget request for F-15 modifications. The 
     conferees agree with the House reduction of funds for 
     installation of landing gear wiring switch kits. The 
     conferees do not agree with the Senate reduction of funds for 
     a fighter data link modification. In restoring the 
     $15,800,000 deleted by the Senate, the conferees direct that 
     $9,000,000 may only be used to acquire Joint Tactical 
     Information Distribution System (JTIDS) class II terminals 
     for one squadron of F-15 aircraft. The remaining $6,800,000 
     is available only for the Multifunctional Information 
     Distribution System (MIDS) variant project.
       The Under Secretary of Defense (Acquisition and Technology) 
     has informed the conferees of the Defense Department's recent 
     decision to meet the F-15 fighter data link (FDL) 
     requirements through the MIDS program. The conferees 
     understand that the Department intends full and open 
     competition for FDL production. The conferees direct the 
     Under Secretary to assure the congressional defense 
     committees in writing that the use of MIDS architecture and 
     software will not place U.S. companies at a competitive 
     disadvantage. This assurance is required before release of 
     the formal Request for Proposal for the F-15 fighter data 
     link.


                           F-16 Modifications

       The conferees agree to provide $120,606,000 for F-16 
     modifications, an increase of $2,000,000 to the budget 
     request. The additional funding provided is only for initial 
     acquisition of 600 gallon fuel tanks for destructive testing, 
     evaluation and limited operational use.


                          C-130 Modifications

       The conferees agree to provide $94,399,000 for C-130 
     modifications, an increase of $10,000,000 to the budget 
     request. Of the additional funding provided by the conferees, 
     $6,000,000 is only for threat defensive systems, and 
     $4,000,000 is only for acquisition of AN/AAQ-22 thermal 
     imaging systems for 10 Air Force Reserve HC-130 aircraft, as 
     recommended by the Senate.


                          C-135 Modifications

       The conferees agree to provide $238,764,000, for C-135 
     modifications, an increase of $96,000,000 to the budget 
     request. The additional funding provided by the conferees is 
     only for continued reengining of the Air Guard and Reserve 
     KC-135 tanker fleet. The conferees have provided sufficient 
     funding for four reengining kits.


                           DARP Modifications

       The conferees agree to provide $53,000,000 for Defense 
     Airborne Reconnaissance Program (DARP) modifications, an 
     increase of $53,000,000 to the budget request. Of the 
     additional funding provided by the conferees, $48,000,000 is 
     only for the acquisition of two RC-135 reengining kits and 
     $5,000,000 is only for costs associated with the 
     refurbishment of the SR-71 aircraft.


                    Aircraft Spare and Repair Parts

       The conferees agree to provide $586,281,000 for aircraft 
     spare and repair parts, a decrease of $17,338,000 to the 
     budget request. The amount of funding provided by the 
     conferees includes a decrease of $21,900,000 for C-17 spares, 
     a decrease of $8,938,000 for T-1 spares and an increase of 
     $13,500,000 for F100-229 engine spares.


                   electronic warfare force structure

       The conferees strongly agree with Senate report language 
     with respect to retaining at least 12 EF-111A Raven jammer 
     aircraft in the primary aircraft inventory through fiscal 
     year 1999, and with the Senate directed reporting 
     requirements.

                       Items Less Than $2,000,000

       The conferees agree to provide $14,176,000 for ``Items Less 
     Than $2,000,000'', an increase of $11,874,000. The increase 
     is provided only for those items identified by the Air Force 
     as shortfalls.


             air combat measurement instrumentation system

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

                defense airborne reconnaissance program

       The conferees agree to provide $161,575,000 for procurement 
     for the Defense Airborne Reconnaissance Program (DARP), a 
     decrease of $17,732,000 to the budget request. The conferees 
     support the Army's identified need for a short range unmanned 
     air vehicle (UAV), but remain concerned with the continuing 
     problems associated with the Hunter program. As a result, the 
     conferees have denied funding for marinization of the Hunter 
     UAV and direct that the remaining fiscal year 1996 funds 
     provided for Hunter not be obligated until the Appropriations 
     Committees receive the results of the Defense Acquisition 
     Board's review of the program. This review should include all 
     options for fulfilling the Army's UAV requirement. The 
     conferees further direct that use of these funds for any 
     other purpose is to be handled through normal reprogramming 
     procedures.


                      patrol craft--cyclone class

       The conferees agree to provide $20,000,000 for the 
     procurement of one additional PC-Cyclone class operations 
     patrol craft/vessel to continue to meet force requirements.


                          natural gas vehicles

       The conferees recommend the Department develop an 
     implementation plan and a demonstration effort based on the 
     1993 Navy study which specified natural gas vehicles as the 
     vehicle of choice for achieving significant emission 
     reductions on military bases.

                  National Guard and Reserve Equipment

       The conferees agree to provide $777,000,000 for National 
     Guard and Reserve Equipment as proposed by the Senate instead 
     of $980,125,000 as proposed by the House.
       The conference agreement is as follows:

                     joint logistics systems center

       The conferees do not agree to the House proposal to provide 
     an additional $100,000,000 in the Operation and Maintenance, 
     Defense-wide appropriation for the Joint Logistics Systems 
     Center (JLSC). The conferees recognize that there is the 
     potential for significant cost savings from effective 
     logistics systems modernization, and believe that JLSC and 
     its programs should remain a top priority. A September, 1995 
     report to the House Appropriations Committee by the 
     Committee's Surveys and Investigations Staff, however, 
     indicates that the JLSC is not properly organized to 
     accomplish the redesign of the Department of Defense's 
     logistics systems. The conferees direct that not more than 
     half of the funds requested in the budget and appropriated 
     for JLSC may be obligated until the Secretary of Defense has 
     taken appropriate action to correct JLSC's organizational 
     deficiencies and has designated the Air Force as the 
     executive agency for the JLSC, which will remain the 
     responsibility of the Deputy Undersecretary of Defense 
     (Logistics) and will remain located at Wright-Patterson Air 
     Force Base. The conferees further direct that the Secretary 
     of Defense provide a report to the congressional defense 
     committees by February 1, 1996 which explains his plan for 
     improving the management of the Joint Logistics Systems 
     Center, including improved levels of management, technical, 
     contracting, and acquisition support.


               navy standard integrated personnel system

       The conferees have provided $18,000,000 as recommended by 
     the House for the Navy Standard Integrated Personnel System 
     (NSIPS). The additional funding is only for NSIPS as directed 
     in House Report 104-208, page 134, except that $13,000,000 is 
     appropriated in Other Procurement, Navy; $2,500,000 in 
     Operation and Maintenance, Navy Reserve; and $2,500,000 in 
     Operation and Maintenance, Navy. The conferees concur with 
     the Department's plan to use a joint working group to define 
     the functional and technical requirements for a standard 
     military personnel management system. The conferees believe 
     that parallel development of NSIPS is critical and direct the 
     Navy, the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and 
     Readiness, and the Assistant Secretary of Defense for C\3\I 
     to continue NSIPS development and implementation as a joint 
     Naval Reserve and active team project which will include the 
     core capabilities required to support joint requirements for 
     the objective DOD field level data collection personnel 
     system. The conferees concur with the Department's decision 
     to designate the Navy as executive agent for prototyping and 
     testing these field level applications or core capabilities 
     and the Air Force as the executive agent for the database.
       The conferees are aware of Navy needs to also continue to 
     consolidate and integrate its headquarters personnel systems. 
     The House previously directed that the Navy Military 
     Personnel Distribution System (NMPD) central design authority 
     (CDA) be assigned to the Enlisted Personnel Management Center 
     (EPMAC) to assure the most efficient and cost effective 
     development and maintenance of this system. The conferees 
     understand that the Military Assignment, Selection, and 
     Transfer System (MAST) has been conceived to modernize Naval 
     personnel management by combining legacy systems and allowing 
     these systems to operate in a more cost effective and client 
     friendly environment. EPMAC has been identified as the 
     technical expert possessing the expertise required to meet 
     the development demands of MAST and NMPD systems. The 
     conferees direct the Navy to assign CDA responsibilities, 
     implementation, and funding functions to EMPAC for the MAST 
     and NMPD systems by January, 1996, and that the transfer of 
     the NMPD system to EPMAC be completed by September, 1996. The 
     conferees direct the Navy to allocate the required funding to 
     EPMAC in support of the MAST and NMPD system development to 
     include hardware, software, and personnel requirements.
       The conferees concur with the House direction that the 
     Department of the Navy place the collocated Naval 
     Telecommunications and Communications Station (NTCS) 
     functions and operations under the operational control and 
     command of the Naval Reserve Information Systems Office, 
     except that this direction shall only apply to the Central 
     Design Agency functions and its related support functions and 
     civilian personnel. The conferees direct that these functions 
     continue to be supported through the Defense Business 
     Operations Fund.


                         other defense agencies

       The conferees concur with the House direction provided in 
     House Report 104-208, pages 136-137 regarding DISA megacenter 
     outsourcing. The conferees are adamant that the reporting 
     requirements and directions provided in the House report be 
     followed by the Department of Defense. While the conferees 
     may be able to support outsourcing some non-essential 
     military functions and services prior to the completion of 
     recommended base closing and realignment consolidations, the 
     conferees expect the reporting requirements contained in the 
     House report to occur first along with proper Congressional 
     committee oversight.
       The conferees concur with the House National Security 
     Committee efforts urging the Department of Defense to 
     privatize or outsource non-essential military services such 
     functions as civilian payroll and payroll-and-accounting for 
     nonappropriated instrumentality functions. However, the 
     conferees recommend the Department also look to franchising 
     for these and other similar services from other Federal 
     agencies that already provide similar, cost effective 
     services. In this regard, the conferees urge the Department 
     to proceed with the recommendation made in the statement of 
     the managers accompanying the fiscal year 1995 Defense 
     Appropriations Act to initiate a prototype for using the 
     National Finance Center cross servicing functions, in 
     conjunction with existing DFAS and private operations in the 
     area, for some financial management and personnel services at 
     DOD as recommended by Military Department Comptrollers in 
     January, 1994.


                  reserve component automation system

       The Army has spent eighteen years and close to a billion 
     dollars without successfully providing modern computer 
     technology to its Reserve Component. For the first time in 
     the RCAS program's history, there now appears to be general 
     consensus between the active Army, the National Guard, the 
     Army Reserve, the Office of the Secretary of Defense, and the 
     Congress on its future direction based on the restructure 
     proposed by the Chief of the National Guard Bureau. Given 
     this apparent consensus, there is no longer the need for 
     legislation to accomplish the goals set out by the Congress 
     for this program. The conferees therefore do not agree to 
     retain bill language as proposed by the House. This action 
     should not be construed as a diminution of Congressional 
     support for RCAS, a Congressional authorization to change the 
     program responsibilities of the Chief of the National Guard 
     Bureau, or an invitation to the Army to change the program 
     architecture to parallel or merge with active Army computer 
     modernization programs. The funding provided in this Act is 
     available solely to implement the restructured RCAS program 
     as proposed by the Chief of the National Guard Bureau, 
     endorsed by the Office of the Secretary of Defense in a 
     formal Major Automated Information Systems Review Council, 
     and recently presented to the Congress. All RCAS funds are 
     hereby designated to be of special Congressional interest, 
     any other use of which would require approval by the Congress 
     through the formal reprogramming process; this would include 
     the use of RCAS funds to modernize active Army systems or to 
     finance codevelopment of new systems. The conferees agree to 
     the certification requirements by the Assistant Secretary of 
     Defense for Reserve Affairs in the House report.
       For many years, the Congress has denied the use of 
     government furnished equipment and software in the RCAS 
     system primarily because the Army would not identify it in 
     advance to the Congress. The Chief of the National Guard 
     Bureau has proposed the limited use of government furnished 
     software in the restructured program. The Army has touted for 
     many years the large amount of government furnished software 
     that potentially could be used in RCAS. However, of 

[[Page H12448]]
     the 16 existing Army information systems that will be examined for 
     reuse in RCAS during fiscal year 1996, the Guard Bureau 
     indicates that not even one is likely to have more than 14 
     percent of the software available for reuse. Many of these 
     are also very old systems. The conferees wish to assure that 
     software reuse is not done simply for its own sake or solely 
     to satisfy the technical community. The conferees impose no 
     restrictions on the use of government furnished software in 
     the restructured program, but direct that the Program 
     Executive Office for RCAS certify each time it tasks the RCAS 
     contractor to use a significant amount of government 
     furnished software that such action is the most cost-
     effective approach.
       Finally, for many years the Congress had a very tight 
     restriction in law prohibiting the purchase of interim 
     equipment outside of the RCAS program. The Reserve Components 
     have recently disclosed that there are 12,000 modern 
     computers which are available for the restructured program. 
     The conferees direct the Inspector General of the Defense 
     Department to conduct an investigation on how the Reserve 
     Component was able to obtain such a large number of 
     computers, whether any of these acquisitions violated law, 
     and/or if anti-deficiency violations occurred.

                university and industry research centers

       The conferees have provided $49,779,000. Included in this 
     amount is $22,847,000 for the Army's new federated labs 
     program. The conferees direct that these funds may only be 
     used to initiate the three federated lab programs which the 
     Army determines are most important to its needs.
       The conferees are concerned that the Army's plan to enter 
     into long term agreements could limit its ability to respond 
     to new ideas and changes in the defense industry. Therefore, 
     the conferees direct that the Army shall not enter into any 
     federated lab agreement or contract which provides for the 
     non-competitive continuation of a federated lab for more than 
     five years. The conferees further direct that the Assistant 
     Secretary of the Army for Research, Development and 
     Acquisition provide a report identifying the three fiscal 
     year 1996 federated labs, the participants, the allocation of 
     funds, the management structure, and the planned research 
     program by March 1, 1996 to the congressional defense 
     committees.


                             ew development

       The conferees understand that funds are included in the 
     budget request for the development of an electronic 
     protection system and encourage the Army to obligate up to 
     $10,300,000 in fiscal year 1996 for the SHORTSTOP project.


                      medical advanced technology

       The conferees agree to provide $75,000,000 for the Army's 
     peer reviewed breast cancer research program. The conferees 
     expect the Army to provide special emphasis to research that 
     addresses the specific needs of military beneficiaries.


             air defense command, control and intelligence

       The conferees provided $2,000,000 in fiscal year 1995 for 
     the evaluation of the Air Defense Alerting Device (ADAD). The 
     conferees direct the Department of Defense to release the 
     fiscal year 1995 funds appropriated for ADAD and proceed with 
     testing.


                         task force xxi soldier

       The conferees agree to provide $30,000,000 for a new 
     project, Task Force XXI Soldier, to accelerate the 
     development of integrated, modular equipment designed for the 
     individual soldier. The Army's strategy to develop and field 
     the interim Land Warrior system and then immediately begin 
     production of the objective GEN II Soldier system appears to 
     be an inefficient allocation of resources. The conferees 
     believe that accelerating the GEN II soldier program will 
     eliminate the need for an interim system allowing the Army to 
     field a more capable system at an earlier date. Therefore, 
     the conferees have consolidated funds from the existing 
     programs to accelerate the GEN II Soldier program and 
     provided additional funds to continue only the Land Warrior 
     efforts necessary to support the objective program. The 
     conferees direct the Assistant Secretary of the Army for 
     Research, Development and Acquisition to provide a report 
     defining a revised acquisition strategy to the congressional 
     defense committees by March 1, 1996.


                      airborne reconnaissance low

       The conferees understand that upgrading the Airborne 
     Reconnaissance Low (ARL) aircraft with the RAH-66 Comanche 
     engine will significantly enhance operational capabilities 
     and reduce support costs. Although no funds were requested in 
     the fiscal year 1996 budget, the conferees encourage the Army 
     to pursue upgrading the ARL engine in fiscal year 1997.

            Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Navy

                           ship self-defense

       The conferees do not agree to the House bill language on 
     ship self-defense programs, as there is now agreement between 
     the Congress and the Defense Department on the direction of 
     the affected programs. This action should not be construed as 
     a diminution of Congressional support for achieving robust 
     self-defense capabilities on Navy ships, particularly on the 
     LPD-17 class, as soon as possible.


                        surface ship technology

       The conferees believe recent efforts to develop state-of-
     the-art curved plate technology for constructing large double 
     hull tankers hold promise to significantly reduce 
     construction costs and provide an improved level of safety 
     and performance for Navy tanker vessels. The conference 
     agreement includes $15,000,000 only to complete the 
     development, design, construction and testing of full scale 
     prototype equipment essential to evaluating and deploying 
     this technology. Funds are to be used for detailed design and 
     construction of full scale prototype equipment for curved 
     plate panel forming, coating, subassembly and final welding.


                oceanographic and atmospheric technology

       The conferees agree to provide $10,000,000 for 
     oceanographic research as recommended by the House. These 
     funds are available only for collaborative research for the 
     continued development, integration and application of cost-
     effective underwater multisensing systems (physical, 
     chemical, optical, and acoustic) and unmanned underwater 
     vehicles for continental shelf oceanographic measurements for 
     mine countermeasures and other oceanographic applications, 
     both fundamental and applied. These funds are to continue the 
     project explained in House report 103-254, whose focus is on 
     in-situ oceanographic sensors, fusion of multiple sensors, 
     reconfigurability, interoperability to achieve low cost, 
     reduced size and flexible payload/platform systems, adaptive 
     capabilities for extended deployments, and navigation by 
     self-convergent approaches using onboard sensors and 
     intelligent control.


                    joint advanced strike technology

       Due to a recent restructure of the JAST program, there is 
     now $131,000,000 in the fiscal year 1996 budget that is for 
     work to be accomplished in fiscal year 1997. Such work should 
     be budgeted in that year. The conferees agree to this 
     reduction in the Navy and Air Force accounts, and direct that 
     the Office of the Secretary of Defense ensure that the fiscal 
     year 1997 budget to Congress includes a restoration of these 
     funds.


                            f/a-18 squadrons

       The conferees agree to provide an additional $4,500,000 
     only for BOL chaff as recommended by the House. These funds 
     are only to complete certification of the BOL chaff system on 
     the F/A-18C/D series aircraft.


                             e-2 squadrons

       The conferees have provided an increase of $10,000,000 only 
     to support evaluation of technologies for an E-2 radar 
     modernization program (RMP). The conferees support an 
     expansion of current development and test efforts at a site 
     which permits elevated testing of an ADS-18S antenna and is 
     involved with evaluation of space time adaptive processing 
     (STAP) algorithms. Based on analysis and testing completed to 
     date, the Navy has concluded that upgrades to the E-2 can 
     provide substantial warfighting improvements in a littoral 
     environment. The conferees direct that the additional funds 
     shall only be available for radar development work, antenna 
     testing and site enhancements in conjunction with ongoing 
     efforts.


                  lcac service life extension program

       The conferees agree to provide $37,000,000 as recommended 
     by the House for advanced planning and engineering of a 
     Landing Craft Air Cushion (LCAC) service life extension 
     program. The program will include component improvements and 
     structural modifications to reduce maintenance costs, meet 
     increased lift requirements, and restore growth margins. 
     Modifications will be incorporated into the last craft during 
     production and into existing fleet craft beginning in fiscal 
     year 1996 as an expansion of the current corrosion control 
     effort.


              intercooled recuperative gas turbine engine

       The conferees agree to provide $41,008,000 for the 
     continued development of the Intercooled Recuperative (ICR) 
     gas turbine engine. This includes the amount requested in the 
     budget and additional funds for the recuperator recovery plan 
     and the U.S. test site.


                        navy range support ship

       In the process of restructuring its fleet of oceanographic 
     research vessels, the Navy recently decided that the 
     Kaimalino would not be part of the future Navy oceanographic 
     fleet. The conferees are aware of a plan for the Pacific 
     Missile Range Facility (PMRF) to acquire the Kaimalino to 
     support operational training needs as well as research and 
     development programs, such as Navy Upper and Lower Tier 
     Patriot, and THAAD. The conferees believe this would be an 
     effective use of the Kaimalino. The conferees direct the Navy 
     to review PMRF's request and to report to the Committees on 
     Appropriations prior to taking any other action on the ship. 
     The conferees further direct that the reuse of the Kaimalino 
     shall have no effect on other ships in the Navy's 
     oceanographic fleet.

     demonstration/validation stage of the space based infrared 
     architecture program, an increase of $135,000,000 to the 
     budget request. The conferees have agreed to provide the 
     additional $135,000,000 to accelerate development of the 
     space missile tracking system (SMTS), formerly known as 
     Brilliant Eyes. The additional funds provided for the program 
     shall be used only for efforts identified jointly by both the 
     Ballistic Missile Defense Organization and the Air Force to 
     accelerate the deployment of SMTS.


                                  b-1b

       The conferees agree to provide $202,438,000 for the B-1B 
     upgrade program, an increase of $28,600,000 to the budget 
     request. The additional funding includes an increase of 
     $7,000,000 for B-1B JDAM integration, an increase of 
     $6,600,000 for ECM risk reduction 

[[Page H12454]]
     activities, and $15,000,000 for efforts to equip the bomber with 
     precision guided munitions, including the B-1B virtual 
     umbilical demonstration (BVUD). The conferees agree that none 
     of the funding used for BVUD may be obligated until the 
     Commander of the Air Combat Command and the Air Force 
     Director of Operational Requirements certify to the 
     appropriations committees that (a) a documented requirement 
     for BVUD exists; and (b) that BVUD will be incorporated as 
     part of the B-1B conventional upgrade program.
       The conferees also direct that the Commander of the Air 
     Force Operational Test and Evaluation Center provide a report 
     no later than March 15, 1996 on the test and evaluation plan 
     for BVUD and other precision guided munitions demonstrations. 
     Finally the conferees direct the Department of the Air Force 
     to consider other available alternatives to providing 
     precision guided capability for the Mk-82 munition with the 
     additional funding provided.


                                  c-17

       The conferees agree to provide $73,803,000 for continued 
     development of the C-17 advanced transport aircraft, a 
     decrease of $11,950,000 to the budget request. The conferees 
     direct that these funds be allocated as follows: flight test 
     support, $17,850,000; T-1 refurbishment, $11,700,000; 
     aircraft structural integrity, $11,000,000; mission support, 
     $10,900,000; aircraft armor, $5,000,000; flight test hours, 
     $4,000,000; automatic communications processor; $4,000,000; 
     station-keeping equipment, $1,300,000; passenger oxygen mask 
     improvements, $1,000,000; enhanced aeromedical litters, 
     $1,000,000; cargo compartment heating, $600,000; troop seats, 
     $553,000; GPS integrity monitoring, $500,000; airlift 
     defensive system survivability study, $400,000; signature 
     reduction study, $400,000.
       The conferees agree with Senate's direction regarding crew 
     armor.


                sensor fuzed weapon product improvement

       The House and Senate both included $10,000,000 in their 
     respective bills to begin a product improvement program for 
     the Sensor Fuzed Weapon (SFW). The conferees direct the Air 
     Force to program those funds required in the outyears to 
     complete development of these improvements. Currently 
     programmed SFW production funds shall not be used as a source 
     for the required development funds. The conferees strongly 
     urge the Air Force to begin this development as soon as 
     possible and to examine ways to streamline and shorten the 
     effort.
       The conferees also agree with the Senate requirement for a 
     reevaluation, to be submitted no later than May 1, 1996, of 
     total inventory needs for smart munitions.


             joint surveillance/target attack radar system

       The conferees agree to reduce the budget request for Joint 
     Surveillance/Target Attack Radar System (JSTARS) procurement 
     by $17,200,000 and for development by $12,000,000. The 
     conferees agree to add $4,500,000 in development funds for 
     the NATO Alliance Ground Surveillance (AGS) program and to 
     add $20,000,000 in development funds for data link/
     dissemination technologies. An amount of $6,100,000 in 
     procurement funds is available only to pay over and above 
     expenses for repair actions during aircraft refurbishment. 
     The conferees direct the Air Force to report to the 
     Committees on Appropriations no later than 30 days after the 
     enactment of this Act as to how the reductions have been 
     allocated. If necessary to accommodate the impact of these 
     reductions, the Air Force is encouraged to submit a 
     reprogramming request in a timely manner.
       The conferees agree with the Senate requirements regarding 
     the AGS program.


                             b-52 squadrons

       The conferees agree to provide $21,005,000 for B-52 
     development, an increase of $4,500,000 to the budget request. 
     The additional funding is only for integration of the AGM-130 
     munition onto B-52 bombers. The conferees direct that not 
     more than $1,000,000 may be obligated until the Secretary of 
     the Air Force certifies that there is a validated operational 
     requirement for the weapon and reports to the Committees on 
     Appropriations about the annual and total costs, schedule, 
     technical risks, and operational considerations of such 
     integration.


                 joint-air-to-surface standoff missile

       The conferees agree to provide $25,000,000 to initiate the 
     Joint-Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile (JASSM) program. The 
     conferees agree to the Senate requirements regarding a report 
     and a cost and operational effectiveness analysis. However, 
     the Senate proposed obligation restrictions are not required. 
     The required report is due no later than June 1, 1996.


                      threat simulator development

       The conferees direct that none of the funds available for 
     the Real-Time Electromagnetic Digitally Controlled Analyzer 
     and Processor (REDCAP) may be used to fund any activities 
     which would produce permanent improvements which could not be 
     relocated in accordance with the Base Realignment and Closure 
     (BRAC) decision to move this facility.

      historically black colleges and other minority institutions

       The Department is encouraged to continue its support of 
     minority institutions, including Hispanic serving 
     institutions, through academic collaborations for research 
     and education related to science and technology, relevant to 
     the Department's mission.


            computing systems and communications technology

       The conferees agree to provide $8,000,000 for a Global 
     Broadcast Service (GBS) as recommended by the House. The 
     conferees also agree to the House language directing that the 
     GBS initiative is to be managed by the Under Secretary of 
     Defense for Acquisition and Technology (USD (A&T)). The 
     conferees do not agree to the House language directing that 
     the $8,000,000 is to be released to the Navy for a near-term 
     GBS pilot program. Instead, the conferees believe that the 
     GBS program must address the needs of all of the services and 
     direct the USD (A&T) to compete the acquisition of both the 
     near-term and objective GBS. After the competition is 
     completed, the Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller) is to 
     certify to the defense committees that $8,000,000 has been 
     released to the service chosen as executive agent to conduct 
     the near-term GBS pilot program. The conferees do agree to 
     the House language directing the USD (A&T) to provide to the 
     defense committees a long-term master architecture. 
     Additionally, the conferees direct that the USD (A&T) provide 
     a comparison of cost, schedule, technical risk and 
     operational considerations for several potential GBS host 
     spacecraft including UFO follow-on, Milstar, DSCS, 
     classified, and commercial satellites with the master 
     architecture.


                   advanced electronics technologies

       The conferees agree with the House report concerning the 
     ECRC program and also direct the Department to enter into a 
     five-year contract with each of the two system integrators, 
     the National ECRC and CAMP, who will continue to manage their 
     respective sites.
       The conferees commend ARPA for recent advancements in low-
     cost dense plasma focus x-ray source technology and 0.18 
     micron synchrotron-based x-ray technology. The conferees urge 
     ARPA to continue efforts in the point source area and direct 
     the Agency to allocate $11,000,000 to fund an integrated 
     point source x-ray lithography system based on these latest 
     x-ray source and stepper developments. This research should 
     target defense related applications such as the production of 
     Microwave Monolithic Integrated Circuit (MMIC) chips for 
     military uses, including missile seekers, digital battlefield 
     systems and F-22 radar modules.


                     electronic combat master plan

       The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to develop 
     and provide to the congressional defense committees, no later 
     than March 31, 1996, an Electronic Combat Master Plan to 
     establish an optimum infrastructure for electronic combat 
     assets.


                    strategic target system (stars)

       The conferees agree to provide $10,000,000, the budget 
     amount, only to continue planning, preparation and actual 
     conduct of STARS flight tests. The conferees direct that BMDO 
     take no actions to terminate or place the STARS program in a 
     caretaker status.


                naval theater ballistic missile defense

       The conferees believe that the Navy's area wide (Lower 
     Tier) and theater wide (Upper Tier) programs should be 
     deployed as rapidly as possible. The Navy's current plan to 
     build on existing ship platforms, the Aegis system, proven 
     launch systems, and the operational Standard missile family 
     has resulted in a cost effective, technically capable and 
     manageable program that is planned to produce a user 
     operational capability (UOES) Upper Tier system not later 
     than FY 1999 with an initial operational capability (IOC) by 
     2001. The conferees are committed to a rapid and actual 
     deployment of an effective sea-based missile defense system. 
     The conferees direct the Department to place highest priority 
     on proceeding with a development program that achieves 
     deployment of the Navy Upper Tier system by the planned 2001 
     IOC. The conferees endorse the Navy Theater Wide system as a 
     core TMD program and endorse fully funding the core program 
     in the 5-year defense plan. The conferees direct that not 
     less than $200,442,000 shall be spent on Navy Upper Tier and 
     not less than $282,473,000 on Navy Lower Tier for research 
     and development activities. Funding allocations through BMDO 
     to the Navy for these programs should proceed expeditiously.


                      tier ii unmanned air vehicle

       The conferees agree to provide $45,250,000 for the Tier II 
     (Predator) unmanned air vehicle program, an increase of 
     $25,300,000 to the budget request. The conferees also agree 
     that the additional funding provided shall only be used for 
     attrition replacement air vehicles and shall not be used to 
     marinize the Predator air vehicle.


                        rivet joint re-engining

       The conferees have provided $79,000,000 solely for the 
     purpose of initiation of re-engining the Rivet Joint fleet. 
     The conferees direct that future funding for this project be 
     included in budget submissions for fiscal year 1997 and 
     beyond, thus ensuring completion of this project in an 
     expeditious and cost effective manner.


                        USH-42 Mission Recorder

       The conferees agree that from funding provided in fiscal 
     year 1996 for the Defense Airborne Reconnaissance Program, 
     $10,000,000 may be used for the planned product improvement 
     that will result in a low cost, lightweight, high capacity, 
     digital version of the Navy's USH-42 recorder/reproducer 
     suitable for a wide range of applications in reconnaissance 
     and surveillance platforms.

                             breast cancer

       The conferees have provided an increase of $100,000,000 
     only for breast cancer. The conferees have provided 
     $75,000,000 to continue the Army's peer-reviewed research 
     program. In addition, the conferees have provided $25,000,000 
     to the Department for: increased recruitment, training and 
     education for military cancer specialists; diagnostic 
     equipment and improved detection technologies, such as 
     digital mammography; and prevention and education efforts for 
     the military community.


                         tricare implementation

       The conferees commend the significant progress of the 
     Department of Defense in moving toward a nation-wide managed 
     health care system for the military, known as TRICARE. 
     Existing law mandates that the TRICARE system be implemented 
     by September 30, 1996, and the Department has attempted to 
     meet this deadline. Unfortunately, complications with the 
     issuance and implementation of these large, complex, 
     competitively bid contracts, have caused significant problems 
     and associated delays. The conferees are concerned that the 
     Department has accelerated the process in order to meet this 
     statutory deadline. The conferees understand the Department 
     is fully committed to the full implementation of TRICARE, as 
     well as a standard health benefit for all military 
     beneficiaries, but believe that the Department, the offerors, 
     and the beneficiaries would greatly benefit from additional 
     time in meeting the complex requirements of TRICARE. 
     Therefore, the conferees agree to extend the deadline for 
     implementation of the TRICARE managed care system by one 
     year.


          uniformed services university of the health sciences

       The conferees remain committed to the continuation of the 
     Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USUHS) 
     at its current level and direct that, within funds made 
     available to the Defense Health program, the amount provided 
     for USUHS shall fully fund the programs and functions of the 
     University at existing levels.


                       uncompensated health care

       The conferees reiterate their longstanding request for DoD 
     Health Affairs to provide data documenting the cost of 
     uncompensated care. The conferees note provision of trauma 
     care provides DoD physicians and other trauma team members 
     with training essential for their wartime performance and 
     hence has provided sufficient funds to DoD Health Affairs in 
     this and past appropriations to cover the estimated costs 
     incurred in the provision of uncompensated care.
