                      Joint Explanatory Statement

       The managers on the part of the House and the Senate at the 
     conference on the disagreeing votes of the two Houses on the 
     amendment of the Senate to the bill (H.R. 4613), making 
     appropriations for the Department of Defense for the fiscal 
     year ending September 30, 2005, 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, 2005, incorporates some of the provisions 
     of both the House and Senate versions of the bill. The 
     language and allocations set forth in House Report 108-553 
     and Senate Report 108-284 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, 2005, 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 2006, the conferees direct the Department of Defense to 
     transmit to the congressional defense committees budget 
     justification documents to be known

[[Page H6147]]

     as the ``M-1'' and ``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 military personnel and 
     operation and maintenance in any budget request, or amended 
     budget request, for fiscal year 2006.

     Reprogramming, Withholding, and ``Taxing'' Appropriated Funds

       The conferees agree to continue the existing below-
     threshold reprogramming guidelines which are as follows: $20 
     million for procurement accounts and $10 million for 
     research, development, test and evaluation (RDT&E) accounts. 
     The conferees further agree that these thresholds are to be 
     applied to the specific dollar threshold or 20 percent of 
     each P-1 or R-1 line, whichever is the lesser level. 
     Furthermore, the dollar or 20 percent threshold is to be 
     considered in a cumulative fashion. Therefore if the combined 
     values of transfers into or out of a procurement (P-1) or 
     research and development (R-1) line exceed the identified 
     threshold, the Department of Defense must submit a prior 
     approval reprogramming request.
       The conferees agree with the Senate position that the 
     Department of Defense is to abide by legal requirements for 
     congressional notification of new starts. Section 8106 of 
     this conference agreement establishes a requirement for 
     written notification for initiating a new start program. The 
     conferees agree with both the Senate and the House position 
     on the inappropriate nature of ``taxing'' an appropriation to 
     generate funds to support a new start project not previously 
     disclosed to Congress. This practice violates these 
     requirements and is therefore prohibited.
       The conferees agree to a prohibition on the practice of 
     setting aside funds--the taxing of appropriations made for 
     particular programs--to fund shortfalls in other programs, or 
     initiate new programs. This includes the practice of 
     ``taxing'' funds appropriated for congressional interest 
     items to pay for laboratory overhead or management costs. The 
     conferees direct that funds shall not be included in a budget 
     request for any program, project and activity to accommodate 
     the application of non-statutory withholds and taxes, or to 
     reimburse other programs as ``repayment'' for funds 
     transferred to a program in a previous year. Statutory 
     withholds such as Small Business Innovative Research, shall 
     be applied uniformly to each program element, project and 
     activity within an account.
       The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to provide 
     data by January 31, 2005 on the adequacy and use of the 
     Department's current reprogramming and withholding practices. 
     Furthermore, the conferees direct the Department to work with 
     the congressional defense committees on a method of providing 
     timely and accurate data on reprogramming activity (above 
     threshold and below threshold), and the application of 
     statutory and administrative withholds. The conferees further 
     direct that reprogramming data should be available on at 
     least a monthly basis, potentially in conjunction with DoD 
     1002 reports and that the Department should transmit the data 
     electronically, if feasible, to the congressional defense 
     committees.

                           New Start Programs

       The conferees agree to amend Section 8106 to ensure that 
     written notification is provided prior to initiation of new 
     start programs. The conferees direct that such notification 
     be provided to the congressional defense committees no less 
     than 30 calendar days prior to obligation of funds for the 
     new start program.

               Business Management Modernization Program

       The conferees are concerned about the pace of the reforms 
     for improving financial management at the Department of 
     Defense. Although the Department announced its intention to 
     achieve a fully functional accounting system by fiscal year 
     2007, a significant amount of funding provided in prior years 
     for the Business Management Modernization Program (BMMP) 
     remains unexpended. Furthermore, the Department has not 
     developed an execution plan for $30,248,000 requested for 
     procurement for the BMMP. The conferees note that these and 
     other problems are examined in the GAO report dated May 17, 
     2004, entitled ``DOD Business Systems Modernization: Limited 
     Progress in Development of Business Enterprise Architecture 
     and Oversight of Information Technology Investments.'' 
     Although the conferees have reduced the budget request for 
     the BMMP by $97,248,000 for unjustified program growth and 
     low obligations and expenditures, the conferees are committed 
     to financial management reform, and urge the Department to 
     redouble its efforts in this area.

                           Corrosion Control

       In a recent General Accounting Office (GAO) report entitled 
     ``Opportunities Exist to Improve Implementation of Department 
     of Defense's Long-Term Corrosion Strategy,'' the GAO 
     identified a number of shortcomings with the Defense 
     Department's corrosion control strategy and provided several 
     recommendations to enhance its effectiveness. The conferees 
     concur with GAO's overall assessment and direct the 
     Department to comply with the recommendations provided in the 
     report. Specifically, the conferees direct 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 Department.
       In addition, the conferees are 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 
     conferees agree that GAO is best suited to conduct a review 
     of this concern. The conferees, therefore, encourage GAO, 
     instead of the Department of Defense Inspector General as 
     proposed by the Senate, to conduct a review of the impact of 
     corrosion on pre-position assets, and recommend policy, 
     management or funding changes to mitigate that corrosion.
       Finally, the conferees commend the Department of Defense in 
     its establishment of an Office of Corrosion Policy and 
     Oversight (CPO) for focused management attention on corrosion 
     control. The conferees reiterate the importance of continuing 
     to maintain within a central office, as directed by section 
     2228 of title 10, United States Code, the integration of 
     oversight for both equipment and infrastructure. The 
     conferees believe such integration is essential to ensuring 
     that anti-corrosion benefits are fully realized across the 
     installation and equipment communities.

               Army Conservation and Ecosystem Management

       The conferees provide an additional $3,000,000 to continue 
     the Army Conservation and Ecosystem Management program. The 
     conferees recommend $1,000,000 be used to support projects 
     such as Kahuku flooding, Salt Lake sediment run-off, and 
     Helemanu water transmission.

                     M1A1 Transmission Maintenance

       The conferees provide an additional $12,000,000 for M1A1 
     Transmission Maintenance. The conferees recognize that the 
     Army is committed to address the transmission industrial base 
     but remain concerned about the implementation and funding of 
     the Transmission Enterprise Program. According to the Army's 
     report to Congress on future plans to sustain the operational 
     readiness of tank transmissions for the Abrams fleet, the 
     funding shortfall to sustain the business base exceeds the 
     additional funding provided. Therefore, the conferees direct 
     the Department of the Army to develop a plan to sustain this 
     industrial base through fiscal year 2005. This plan is to be 
     submitted to the congressional defense committees before 
     submission of the fiscal year 2006 budget request and include 
     funding strategies to address this shortfall through the 
     future years defense program.

                       U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps

       The conferees include an additional $1,700,000 for the U.S. 
     Naval Sea Cadet Corps and urge the Navy to fund this program 
     in the fiscal year 2006 budget request.

 Navy Region Northwest-Navy Shore Infrastructure Transformation (NSIT)

       The conferees have included $4,600,000 for the Navy Shore 
     Infrastructure Transformation (NSIT) program at Navy Region 
     Northwest. The conferees support the efforts underway at Navy 
     Region Northwest to improve and make more efficient the 
     efforts for environmental protection and environmental 
     training as well as base security in this region. The 
     conferees further direct that from within these funds, 
     $500,000 is available only to continue the Navy Region 
     Northwest's Science Education Alliance program at the Naval 
     Undersea Museum during the 2004-2005 academic year.

                Critical Asset Vulnerability Assessment

       The fiscal year 2004 Defense Appropriations Act included 
     $1,400,000 within Operation and Maintenance, Navy for a 
     program known as Critical Asset Vulnerability Assessment, 
     Navy Region Northwest. This funding was intended to identify 
     and address significant issues relating to the security of 
     major assets in the Navy's Northwest region. The conferees 
     note that the Navy has in fact developed plans to address 
     these issues, and direct that the Navy may use the fiends 
     provided to continue risk assessments, conduct technology 
     evaluations, and mitigate vulnerabilities.

                   Global Hawk Maritime Demonstration

       The conferees agree that the Navy should retain its Global 
     Hawk High Altitude Endurance Unmanned Aerial Vehicle as 
     proposed in the President's budget. The conferees encourage 
     the Navy to expand its current demonstration project to 
     include forward deployed forces in the theater of operations 
     of the United States Central Command. The conferees further 
     encourage the Navy to compile the lessons learned in 
     conducting the demonstration program, specifically in that 
     area of responsibility, and incorporate those lessons into 
     the development of concepts of operations for unmanned aerial 
     vehicles.

                   Naval Shipyard Apprentice Program

       The conferees provide an additional $1,500,000 for the 
     Shipyard Apprentice Program and direct the Navy to induct 
     classes of no fewer than 150 apprentices at each of the naval 
     shipyards during fiscal year 2005. Further, the conferees 
     direct the Navy to include the costs of the fiscal year 2006 
     class of apprentices in the fiscal year 2006 budget estimate.

                          Naval Installations

       The conferees have been advised by senior Navy leadership 
     of their intention to address the concerns raised by the 
     Senate to include restoring funding reduced for sustainment, 
     restoration and maintenance projects. Therefore, the 
     conferees will not offer any additional guidance on this 
     subject. However, the Committees on Appropriations will 
     continue to monitor the recommendations and activities of the 
     Naval Installation Command to ensure that all regions are 
     treated equitably and that sufficient funding is allocated 
     for Navy bases.

                     Beyond Goldwater-Nichols Study

       Last year the conferees directed the Department to 
     undertake a review of reform initiatives going beyond the 
     Goldwater-Nichols reforms of the mid-1980's. The conferees 
     note that further work is now needed on regional command 
     structures, the future of the Guard and Reserve Components, 
     and the acquisition process. The conferees provide 
     $1,000,000 to continue this work.

                      Center for Child Protection

       The conferees agree to provide $500,000 to the Office of 
     the Secretary of Defense (OSD) to fund operational costs of 
     the Center for Child Protection. This Center, formerly funded 
     by the Navy's National Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland, 
     is more appropriately funded and overseen by OSD, given the 
     breadth of the Center's activities.

                      Pentagon Child Care Facility

       The conferees are concerned about the closure of the 
     Pentagon Child Development Center, noting that most of the 
     parents were caught off guard by the announcement and are 
     having trouble making alternate arrangements. The conferees 
     understand the Department is aiding families in finding 
     placement in alternate centers; however, many of those 
     locations have limited spaces available and are not 
     convenient for many Pentagon employees. The conferees are 
     also aware that the Department intends to execute a military 
     construction project in fiscal year 2006 to expand the child 
     care facilities at Fort Myer to be the permanent facility for 
     Pentagon employees. Since it could take up to three years to 
     complete such a project, the conferees are deeply concerned 
     about the impact this will have on parents and their 
     families. Therefore, prior to closure of the Center, the 
     conferees direct the Department to report to the 
     congressional defense committees on its plans to satisfy the 
     child care needs of Pentagon employees. The report shall 
     address the use of alternate locations with minimal adverse 
     impact to families as well as a timeline and plan for a 
     replacement facility.

                   Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS)

       The conferees share the view expressed in the report 
     accompanying the Senate version of the fiscal year 2005 DoD 
     Appropriations Bill noting that the JTRS waiver policy has 
     created a bottleneck in meeting the needs of operational 
     commanders. Therefore, the conferees direct that the 
     Assistant Secretary of Defense for Networks Information 
     Integration (ASD NII), and the Joint Staff 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 resourcing and fielding of radios, 
     terminals, or other communications systems which are not JTRS 
     compliant to meet the needs of units deploying in support of 
     Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF), Operation Enduring Freedom 
     (OEF), and the Global War on Terrorism. Further, this report 
     should address the option of suspending the JTRS waiver 
     process until JTRS solutions are available for fielding. In 
     addition, the conferees direct the Secretary of the Army to 
     provide a report to the congressional defense committees no 
     later than November 1, 2004 on the disposition and shortages 
     of radios, terminals, or other communication systems which 
     are not JTRS compliant yet needed to support units deploying 
     in support of OIF and OEF. This report should provide a rapid 
     resourcing and fielding plan for radios, terminals, or other 
     communication systems that does not place the resourcing 
     burden on the individual unit commanders, yet meets their 
     operational needs.

                   Next Generation Destroyer (DD(X))

       The conferees agree to provide a total of $305,516,000 for 
     advance procurement for the DD(X) class of ships instead of 
     $320,516,000 as proposed by the Senate and no appropriation 
     as proposed by the House. The conferees direct the Navy to 
     include future funding requests for the DD(X) in the 
     Shipbuilding and Conversion, Navy appropriation.
       Within the funds provided, $221,116,000 is only for design 
     and advance procurement requirements associated with the 
     first ship of the DD(X) class and $84,400,000 is only for 
     design and advance procurement requirements associated with 
     construction of the second ship at an alternative second 
     source shipyard. The conferees direct that no funds shall be 
     available for the procurement of long lead time material for 
     items that are dependent upon delivery of a DD(X) key 
     technology unless that technology has undergone testing, 
     thereby reducing risk to overall program costs.
       The conferees direct that full funding of the remaining 
     financial requirement for these ships, not including 
     traditional advance procurement requirements, shall be 
     included in a future budget request.

                      DDG-51 Modernization Program

       The conferees agree to provide $50,000,000 to accelerate a 
     DDG-51 Modernization program, instead of $100,000,000 as 
     proposed by the House and no appropriation as proposed by the 
     Senate.
       The conferees direct that these funds may not be obligated 
     or expended until the Navy submits to the congressional 
     defense committees a detailed plan on its execution of a DDG-
     51 Modernization program that focuses first on modernizing 
     the new construction, near-term delivery ships and then on 
     the in-service Fleet ships. The plan should address each 
     element of the modernization plan, the cost-benefit of the 
     element, and the implementation of the plan by hull number.
       The conferees agree that the Navy's DDG-51 modernization 
     plan should emphasize proven technology and modularity 
     applications that will help increase warfighting 
     capabilities, reduce total ownership costs and manning 
     requirements, and expand the use of open architecture.

                         Cruiser Modernization

       The conferees agree to provide no appropriation for Cruiser 
     Modernization as proposed by the Senate instead of the budget 
     request as proposed by the House.
       The conferees take this action reluctantly based on the 
     need to modernize these assets. However, the Navy's plan was 
     simply inadequate in its presentation and planned execution. 
     Furthermore, content of the modernization program changed 
     significantly from the proposal presented with the fiscal 
     year 2004 budget, while program cost remained the same, 
     calling into question the soundness of the Navy's efforts.
       The conferees remain interested in ensuring a modern Naval 
     Fleet and would encourage the Navy to continue to refine its 
     requirements with respect to modernization of the Cruiser 
     inventory and request funds as appropriate in a future budget 
     request.

                      Physical Security Equipment

       The conferees agree to provide $179,114,000 for Physical 
     Security Equipment instead of $197,214,000 as proposed by the 
     House and $157,714,000 as proposed by the Senate. The 
     conferees agree that of this amount, $17,900,000 may not be 
     obligated or expended until the Secretary of the Navy submits 
     a report to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations 
     that addresses how the Navy intends to execute the 
     expenditure of the appropriated funds.
       The conferees further agree with the House position which 
     requests the Navy centralize decision-making authority for 
     all anti-terrorism and force protection requirements.

                       C-17 Multiyear Procurement

       The conferees have provided an additional $158,600,000 in 
     funding for the procurement of 15 C-17s in fiscal year 2005. 
     Language has also been included in ``Aircraft Procurement, 
     Air Force'' requiring the Air Force to procure 15 aircraft in 
     fiscal year 2005; provide advance procurement for 15 aircraft 
     in 2006; and to fully fund 15 aircraft in fiscal year 2006. 
     The conferees agree with the House language regarding the Air 
     Force interpretation of multiyear procurement regulations in 
     this and the C-130J program. The conference report includes a 
     general provision amending multiyear procurement contract 
     requirements proposed in the House bill to prevent this 
     approach in the future.
       A general reduction in funding for Aircraft Procurement, 
     Air Force, has been included accordingly with a requirement 
     that the reduction be applied equitably across all elements 
     of this appropriation.

                    Tanker Replacement Transfer Fund

       The conference report includes a general provision, section 
     8132, which provides $100,000,000 to establish the ``Tanker 
     Replacement Transfer Fund''. The establishment of this fund 
     reflects the conferees' intent that the Air Force proceed 
     apace with replacing its fleet of aging aerial refueling 
     aircraft. In particular, the Department of Defense should 
     endeavor to complete as quickly as possible the ongoing 
     analysis of tanker replacement program alternatives.
       The funds provided under section 8132 may be used to 
     implement the current tanker replacement program of record. 
     The conferees note, however, that the fluid nature of the 
     situation surrounding this program prohibits a definitive 
     allocation of funds for specific activities. Thus, the 
     conference report provides the Secretary of the Air Force 
     with the authority to allocate these funds to Air Force 
     operation and maintenance, procurement, or research and 
     development accounts, allowing the Air Force to quickly 
     implement tanker acquisition plans once a final plan is 
     approved. In any case, the conferees strongly urge the 
     Department of Defense to thoroughly consider the effects on 
     the U.S. aircraft industrial base of any and all tanker 
     replacement program alternatives.

                    F/A-22 Independent Cost Estimate

       The conferees note that several significant decision points 
     regarding continued production of the F/A-22 lay in the not-
     so-distant future. The program recently entered into Initial 
     Operational Test and Evaluation, which is scheduled to 
     conclude in the fall. Following completion of IOT&E, the 
     Department will consider whether to grant authority for the 
     program to enter full rate production, whether and when to 
     request multiyear procurement authority, and as a subtext to 
     all of this, whether there is a need to increase the 
     production cost cap established under authorization law.
       The conferees believe this is the appropriate point in the 
     program to recalibrate F/A-22 cost models using the latest 
     information on current and projected costs. Accordingly, the 
     conferees direct the Under Secretary of Defense for 
     Acquisition Technology and Logistics to sponsor a new 
     comprehensive F/A-22 independent cost estimate (ICE), to be 
     conducted by a federally funded research and development 
     center (FFRDC) with demonstrated competence in this area in 
     coordination with the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA). 
     This analysis should: (1) determine appropriate estimates of 
     unit costs and validate unit cost models and related 
     assumptions to include all pertinent pricing cost data based 
     on the latest projections of production efficiencies; (2) 
     identify optimal yearly production profiles that can be 
     financed under the budgetary framework contained in the 2005 
     Future Years Defense Plan; and, (3) determine appropriate 
     estimates of remaining non-recurring development, test, and 
     acquisition program oversight costs. The conferees expect 
     that the FFRDC will be allowed to both contract the services 
     of a private sector audit entity experienced in industry 
     costing techniques, and coordinate the execution and review 
     of this ICE with the DCAA. The conferees expect the F/A-22 
     prime contractor to provide full access and cooperation with 
     this analytical effort to the FFRDC, DCAA, and any private 
     sector audit agency involved under rules and procedures that 
     adequately protect the confidentiality of proprietary 
     financial data and manufacturing techniques. This ICE is to 
     be transmitted to the congressional defense committees not 
     later than August 15, 2005.

                    Heavy Outsized Airlift Capacity

       The conferees are aware of the on-going Mobility 
     Capabilities Study and the probability that the current 54.5 
     MTM/day requirement will increase. The conferees, similar to 
     the Air Force, recognize 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 conferees direct the 
     Secretary of the Air Force to provide the congressional 
     defense committees no later than March 31, 2005, an 
     assessment of 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.

             Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile (JASSM)

       The conferees question the assessment of the Air Force with 
     regard to the presumed sound and proven design of JASSM. 
     Operational Test and Evaluation results ending in April found 
     mission reliability to be 53 percent, a figure the Air Force 
     has identified as meeting its benchmark for effectiveness. 
     JASSM mission reliability of 53 percent is poor in comparison 
     to similar weapons; Javelin reliability was 100 percent, JDAM 
     was 85 percent, JSOW-A was 95 percent, and Hellfire was 95 
     percent at the end of operational testing.
       The conferees note that this troublesome mission success 
     rate only continues to be validated by recent testing. As 
     recently as June 29, 2004, a JASSM launched from an F-16 
     failed to transition power from batteries to engine causing 
     the missile to crash well short of the target. In a June 8, 
     2004 test from a B-2, problems with the mission planning 
     system resulted in a mission failure. The two successful 
     launches from B-1 aircraft required mission planning time 
     even slower than that noted in the Operational Test and 
     Evaluation report.
       The conferees restate the concerns identified in the House 
     report and expect that improvements will be made to increase 
     the reliability of the baseline missile program. Failure to 
     do so will cause the conferees to reconsider their support 
     for this program and the extended range version.

           C-130 Directional Infrared Countermeasures (DIRCM)

       The conferees agree to provide $14,400,000 for the Special 
     Operations Command C-130 DIRCM program. The conferees are 
     aware of the mean time between failure issues associated with 
     this equipment and are sensitive to the Command's operational 
     requirements and as such direct that the funds provided may 
     be only used for costs associated with refurbishment.

              Special Operations Command Publication Costs

       The conferees are concerned about the costs charged to 
     Special Operations Command (SOCOM) for publications. The 
     conferees find the publication costs associated with the MH-
     60 Service Life Extension Program (SLEP) particularly 
     excessive and recommend a reduction of $5,000,000 to the 
     budget request. The conferees direct the Command to initiate 
     a review of the publication costs associated with its major 
     acquisition programs and provide a report to the 
     congressional defense committees by February 1, 2005 on 
     actions taken to address this problem.

                  Congressional Special Interest Items

       Items for which additional funds have been provided as 
     shown in the project level tables or in paragraphs using the 
     phrase ``only for'' or ``only to'' in this report are 
     congressional interest items for the purpose of the Base for 
     Reprogramming (DD 1414). Each of these items must be carried 
     on the DD Form 1414 at the stated amount, or a revised amount 
     if changed during conference or if otherwise specifically 
     addressed in the conference report. These items remain 
     special interest items whether or not they are repeated in a 
     subsequent conference report.

                        F-35 Program Management

       In lieu of the direction provided by the House or the 
     Senate, the conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to 
     review current management oversight of the Joint Strike 
     Fighter, and to report findings and recommendations to the 
     congressional defense committees not later than December 15, 
     2004.

         Air Force and DARPA FALCON/Common Aero Vehicle Program

       The conferees agree to provide $29,110,000 for the Air 
     Force and DARPA FALCON/Common Aero Vehicle (CAV) programs. 
     The conferees are concerned that safeguards are not in place 
     to guarantee that nations possessing nuclear weapons 
     capabilities would not misinterpret the intent or use of the 
     FALCON/CAV programs. Therefore, the funds provided herein are 
     for the development of hypersonic technologies for non-
     weapons related research, such as micro-satellite or other 
     satellite launch requirements and other purposes as listed 
     under the conferees recommendations. The conferees direct 
     that none of the funds provided in this Act may be used to 
     develop, integrate, or test a CAV variant that includes any 
     nuclear or conventional weapon. The conferees further direct 
     that none of the funds provided in this Act may be used to 
     develop, integrate, or test a CAV for launch on any 
     Intercontinental Ballistic Missile or Submarine Launched 
     Ballistic Missile. The Committees on Appropriations will 
     consider expanding the scope of this program in subsequent 
     years if safeguards negotiated among our international 
     partners have been put in place.

                          Future Combat System

       The conferees direct that the Army adhere to the following 
     funding structure in execution of appropriations provided for 
     fiscal year 2005, and in preparation of the fiscal year 2006 
     budget request.

0604645A: Armored Systems Modernization..................$2,374,010,000

                                                       ________________
                                                       
  Total...................................................2,929,853,000
       The projects identified within program element 0604645A, 
     Armored Systems Modernization, are congressional special 
     interest items for the purpose of prior approval 
     reprogrammings as discussed elsewhere in this report. Funds 
     provided in a new program element for the Non Line of Sight 
     Launch System (NLOS-LS) are subject to normal prior approval 
     reprogramming procedures as described elsewhere in this 
     report.
       The conferees direct that the Secretary of the Army provide 
     a report to the congressional defense committees not later 
     than November 1, 2004, that outlines the program definition 
     including missile configurations for NLOS-LS.

                        Non Line of Sight Cannon

       The conferees agree with the guidance provided in the House 
     report accompanying the fiscal year 2005 DoD Appropriations 
     bill concerning the Non Line of Sight Cannon and Resupply 
     Vehicle (NLOS-C). Accordingly, the conference agreement 
     includes a general provision (Sec. 8109) that directs the 
     Army to program and budget for NLOS-C for fielding in 2010. 
     The conferees direct that fielding shall be conducted as 
     defined by Army Regulation 700-142.
       As noted elsewhere in the report, the budget request 
     includes $497,643,000 for NLOS-C. The conferees recognize 
     that $93,686,000 of this amount was requested explicitly for 
     the purpose of developing mission equipment unique to NLOS-C. 
     Accordingly, the conferees direct that this amount is a 
     congressional special interest item for the purpose of prior 
     approval reprogrammings.

                 Land Warrior and Future Force Warrior

       The conferees direct the Secretary of the Army to submit to 
     the congressional defense committees a plan, not later than 
     January 31, 2005, to consolidate the Land Warrior and Future 
     Force Warrior programs into a single program, benefiting from 
     the efficiencies of each. The conferees also recommend a 
     reduction to the Future Force Warrior program of $5,000,000 
     and a reduction to the Land 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 
     (FCS) and provide the Army with a FCS dismounted capability 
     for the individual soldier. Further, the conferees understand 
     that it is possible to field a dismounted capability 
     immediately to the Stryker Brigades currently deployed in 
     combat. Therefore, the conferees recommend that the combined 
     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.

                          Aerial Common Sensor

       The Aerial Common Sensor (ACS) program, when fielded, will 
     be the Army's premier multi-intelligence, precision targeting 
     airborne intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) 
     capability. This state of the art platform will replace the 
     Army's Guardrail Common Sensor and Airborne Reconnaissance 
     Low systems. The conferees note that the fiscal year 2005 
     budget request included $149,000,000 to initiate this 
     critical intelligence modernization program based on an 
     anticipated award date of January, 2004. Unfortunately, the 
     Army has yet to make any contract award. The revised estimate 
     of the award date is at least 8 months beyond the date 
     briefed to Congress. For this reason, the Senate bill reduced 
     the program by $50,000,000. The conferees remain concerned 
     with the pace of this program and in particular, note that it 
     is a critical program whose delay only sets back the Army's 
     ISR mission. The conference agreement provides $129,000,000 
     for the Aerial Common Sensor program, a reduction of 
     $20,000,000.

        Patriot PAC-3/Medium Extended Air Defense System (MEADS)

       The conferees support the view expressed in the report 
     accompanying the House version of the fiscal year 2005 
     Department of Defense Appropriations bill that DoD should 
     continue its plans to merge the PAC-3 and MEADS programs 
     under Army cognizance. The conferees are also concerned about 
     the delays in implementing this management structure, and 
     their potential effect. Accordingly, the conferees direct the 
     Secretary of the Army to develop a plan to merge these 
     programs as directed by the April 2003 Acquisition Decision 
     Memorandum, and provide a report to the congressional defense 
     committees on this plan not later than February 15, 2005.

          Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System (GMLRS)-Unitary

       The conferees provide an additional $12,750,000 above the 
     budget request of $97,422,000 for the Multiple Launch Rocket 
     System (MLRS) Product Improvement program, for a total of 
     $112,422,000 to accelerate development and fielding of the 
     GMLRS-Unitary munition to US forces in high-risk locations by 
     fiscal year 2006. The conferees direct that this total amount 
     is a congressional special interest item for the purpose of 
     prior approval reprogrammings.

                         Land Mine Alternatives

       The conferees direct the Secretary of the Army to submit a 
     report on land mine alternatives as directed by the Senate to 
     the congressional defense committees by no later than January 
     3, 2005.

                  Broadband Language Training Programs

       The conferees support the development of Broadband Language 
     Training programs and, accordingly, provide $3,000,000 to 
     advance Broadband Language Training Systems at the Defense 
     Language Institute (DLI) within the newly established DLI 
     program element as described elsewhere in this report. The 
     conferees understand that issues have arisen delaying the 
     execution of the fiscal year 2004 funding for this program. 
     Accordingly, the conferees recommend a rescission of 
     $4,000,000 from Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, 
     Army funds made available in fiscal year 2004.

                  Joint Strike Fighter STOVL Lift Fan

       The conferees direct that in addition to funds currently 
     budgeted for STOVL Lift Fan technologies, no less than 
     $8,000,000 of the funds provided for the Joint Strike Fighter 
     program shall be for STOVL Lift Fan thrust increase studies.

                Amphibious Assault Ship--LHA Replacement

       The conferees agree to provide $44,180,000 for the 
     Amphibious Assault Ship--LHA Replacement, LHA(R), program as 
     requested and as proposed by the Senate instead of no 
     appropriation as proposed by the House.
       The conferees agree that the Secretary of the Navy shall 
     submit to the Committees on Appropriations of the House and 
     Senate, a report within 90 days of enactment of this Act that 
     addresses a thorough review of the LHA(R) requirement, the 
     impact of the proposed ship on executing the Marine Corps 
     amphibious assault mission, the overall cost and acquisition 
     objective of LHA(R), and the acquisition strategy.

                    Next Generation Destroyer--DD(X)

       The conferees agree to provide $1,176,469,000 for the DD(X) 
     program instead of $1,182,785,000 as proposed by the House 
     and $1,210,469,000 as proposed by the Senate.
       The conferees agree that prior to the completion of the 
     Critical Design Review (CDR), the Navy should complete land-
     based testing of the Advanced Gun System (AGS) and the 
     Integrated Power System (IPS). The conferees believe it is 
     not advisable to complete CDR prior to ensuring that at least 
     two of the 12 key technologies have completed testing due to 
     historical trends of ship cost growth based on re-design to 
     accommodate changes in technological requirements.
       The conferees direct the Navy to submit a report to the 
     congressional defense committees that addresses the Navy's 
     plan to transition DD(X) key technologies through 
     development, testing, acquisition, and installation. This 
     report should also address ``back up'' technologies that 
     could be inserted into the DD(X) program should the maturity 
     of the planned technology not materialize within a timeline 
     necessary to meet the stated DD(X) schedule.

                          Littoral Combat Ship

       The conferees agree to provide $457,089,000 for the 
     Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) program instead of $409,089,000 as 
     proposed by the House and $352,089,000 as requested and 
     proposed by the Senate.
       The conferees agree with the Senate that all follow-on 
     ships, beyond one of each prototype design, should be fully 
     funded in the Shipbuilding and Conversion, Navy 
     appropriation. The conferees also agree that substantial 
     testing of the LCS and associated mission modules is required 
     to evaluate each ship design and validate operational 
     requirements. Therefore, the conferees direct that no funds 
     shall be obligated to prepare a fiscal year 2006 budget 
     request for construction of a third vessel, as reflected in 
     the conference agreement including Section 8092 as originally 
     proposed by the Senate. This directive is intended to provide 
     for a ``gap'' year between construction of the prototype 
     ships and the follow-on construction of a second ship of each 
     design, thereby ensuring that design problems discovered 
     during the prototype phase of each ship design are identified 
     and corrected before construction of follow-on ships. The 
     conferees also agree with the Senate that beginning in the 
     fiscal year 2006 budget request, the Navy should identify LCS 
     mission module funding separately within the Research, 
     Development, Test and Evaluation, Navy and Other Procurement, 
     Navy appropriations.

                    Corrosion Resistant Marine Paint

       The Navy spends approximately 25 percent of its fleet 
     maintenance budget on corrosion protection. The conferees are 
     aware of and support research performed by the Center for 
     Photochemical Sciences that develops corrosion resistant 
     marine paint using photo-cure technology. These new photo-
     cure technologies can increase corrosion protection while 
     reducing environmentally harmful emissions. The conferees 
     believe this technology provides unique advantages over 
     current materials and directs the Office of Naval Research to 
     continue current year funding for this important research 
     project.

                           Space Based Radar

       The conferees agree with the House position.

                       Airborne Electronic Attack

       The conference report provides $113,693,000 for Electronic 
     Warfare Development. Noting the prevalence of significant 
     industry efforts and capability in the field, the House 
     report denied funding for transmitter and receiver technology 
     development for a new stand-off jamming pod capability for 
     the B-52. The conferees believe that the Air Force objective 
     can be achieved quicker and at far less cost than the budget 
     proposed through greater coordination with industries of 
     expertise in this area. The Air Force has acknowledged this 
     opportunity and expressed an interest to pursue such an 
     objective. Accordingly, the conference report removes the 
     restrictions on technology development for this purpose with 
     the expectation that the Air Force will take advantage of the 
     current state of technology and short-term developments 
     potentially available to meet this requirement. The conferees 
     further expect that the Air Force will take into account the 
     cost savings associated with this opportunity in the fiscal 
     year 2006 budget submission for this program.

   Instrumentation, Loading, Integration, Analysis and Documentation

       The conferees recognize the critical role of digital 
     technology in flight testing and commends the leadership of 
     Edwards AFB, Eglin AFB, Barksdale AFB, White Sands Missile 
     Range, and Fort Rucker for recent investments in modern 
     instrumentation, data capture, data analysis and data 
     archiving technology. The conferees support the continued 
     deployment of ILIAD, an electronic test data management 
     system, to provide cost-effective and efficient collection, 
     protection, validation, and sharing of critical test and 
     evaluation data. The use of this technology to manage test 
     and evaluation data throughout its lifecycle eliminates 
     costly and redundant testing. Further, based upon its success 
     supporting numerous weapons platforms in multiple geographic 
     locations, the conferees urge the Department of the Air Force 
     to consider leveraging the Air Force's ILIAD solution for the 
     Joint Strike Fighter and other weapons programs.

                     C-17 Flight Test Data Archive

       The conferees support the migration of C-17 flight test 
     data from magnetic tapes to fixed-content disk drive 
     technology that has no end of life concerns; places test data 
     in an ``on-line'' format with clear indexing; and allows 
     timely retrieval regardless of data volume. Given the 
     importance of flight test data, the ability to retrieve 
     specific data at a future date, as well as the cost-
     effectiveness of fixed-content technology, the conferees 
     encourage all System Program Offices to consider the benefits 
     of archiving test data in this manner.

                 Air Force ``Minority Leaders'' Program

       The conferees expect that funds available for the Air Force 
     ``MINORITY LEADERS'' program shall be available for research 
     in the areas of both materials and aerospace sensors.

              Joint Unmanned Combat Aerial System (JUCAS)

       The conferees agree to provide a total of $586,490,000 for 
     the Joint Unmanned Combat Aerial System (JUCAS) program 
     instead of $710,401,000 as proposed by the House and 
     $510,401,000 as proposed by the Senate.
       The conferees agree with the Senate position that the JUCAS 
     program has not been properly coordinated with the Services 
     and that the focus of the program should be on meeting the 
     requirements of the Air Force and Navy. To this end, the 
     conferees direct that $363,617,000 of the funds provided for 
     the JUCAS shall be used to complete and demonstrate the 
     unmanned combat aerial vehicle technology demonstrators in 
     support of Air Force and Navy requirements for such systems.
       The conferees agree to provide $222,873,000 for JUCAS 
     Advanced Component and Prototype Development, as proposed by 
     the Senate instead of $260,784,000 as proposed by the House.

                     Focus Center Research Program

       The conferees intend that the $10,000,000 allocated for 
     DARPA Defense Research Sciences, Electronic Sciences, 
     Semiconductor Technology Focus Center, as requested by the 
     Administration, be used for basic university research to 
     supplement the $7,000,000 appropriated for the Focus Center 
     Research Program through the Defense Research and Engineering 
     account. This would provide a total of $17,000,000 for basic 
     university research by continuing the successful industry, 
     university, and federal agency Focus Center Research 
     partnership. The Focus Center program is designed to develop 
     the next generation of semiconductor microelectronics 
     technologies, increase the United States' global advantage in 
     semiconductor technology, and train the next generation of 
     electronics engineers.

                        Missile Defense Programs

       The conference agreement provides $9,050,031,000 for the 
     Missile Defense programs included in Research, Development, 
     Test and Evaluation, Defense-Wide. Of this amount, 
     $4,620,825,000 is for the Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) 
     Midcourse Segment program. The conferees direct that the 
     entire amount provided for the BMD Midcourse Segment is a 
     congressional special interest item for the purpose of prior 
     approval reprogramming, as described elsewhere in this 
     report. The conferees also direct that adjustments made to 
     the various Missile Defense Agency (MDA) program elements, as 
     reflected on the project level tables, are congressional 
     special interest items.
       The conferees direct that transfers of funds between the 
     MDA program elements are subject to the same reprogramming 
     guidance applicable to all other research, development, test 
     and evaluation funded activities. Specifically, the conferees 
     direct that the Missile Defense Agency observe the cumulative 
     $10,000,000 threshold for the reprogramming of research, 
     development, test and evaluation funds. If the combined value 
     of transfers into or out of a research and development (R-1) 
     line exceeds this threshold, the Department of Defense must 
     submit a prior approval reprogramming request to the 
     congressional defense committees. The Department shall also 
     observe the limitation that prior approval reprogrammings are 
     set at either the specific dollar threshold or 20 percent of 
     the procurement or research and development line, whichever 
     is less. The conferees further direct that any taxes, 
     withholds or undistributed reductions to the MDA programs be 
     made in accordance with applicable guidance described 
     elsewhere in this report.

                            BMDS Operations

       The conferees strongly support the Ground-Based Midcourse 
     (GMD) program. The conferees further understand that this 
     program has experienced significant funding challenges 
     associated with the decision to begin fielding missile 
     defense for the United States in late 2004. Accordingly, the 
     conferees have provided an additional $200,000,000, 
     specifically to address these requirements. Furthermore, the 
     conferees direct the Missile Defense Agency to fully fund 
     this critical program in the fiscal year 2006 budget 
     submission to include manning, operation and maintenance, 
     contractor logistical support, and physical security and 
     force protection costs. The conferees expect the fiscal year 
     2006 budget request to provide this level of detail regarding 
     BMDS operations and costs. In addition, the conferees direct 
     that the Secretary of Defense submit to the congressional 
     defense committees not later than February 7, 2005, a report 
     that outlines the DoD plan to provide adequate resources 
     necessary for the operation and maintenance (including 
     logistical support and physical security) and manning of the 
     Ballistic Missile Defense System.

                  Integrated Flight Test-13C (IFT-13C)

       The conferees are aware that the Missile Defense Agency 
     (MDA) is finalizing preparations for Integrated Flight Test-
     13C scheduled for August 2004. The conferees share the view 
     expressed in the report accompanying the House version of the 
     fiscal year 2005 DoD Appropriations bill that this test 
     represents an important milestone. The conferees are also 
     aware that logistical details may potentially change the date 
     of this test. Accordingly, the conferees direct the Director 
     of the Missile Defense Agency to provide a report to the 
     congressional defense committees within 30 days of the 
     conclusion of IFT-13C, in both classified and unclassified 
     form, including a detailed assessment of the results of IFT-
     13C.

                                Scorpius

       The conference agreement includes an additional $3,000,000 
     to continue work on the Scorpius family of rockets. In past 
     years, the Congress has provided additional funding above the 
     budget request and is concerned by DoD's lack of effort to 
     follow through on this program. Accordingly, the conferees 
     direct the Secretary of the Air Force and the Director of the 
     Missile Defense Agency to jointly provide a report to the 
     congressional defense committees on the Department's proposed 
     course of action for this program within 30 days of enactment 
     of this Act. The conferees further direct that the report 
     identify the resources required to complete the program, and 
     whether such resources are included in the Future Year's 
     Defense Program.

                TITLE V--REVOLVING AND MANAGEMENT FUNDS

                     Defense Working Capital Funds

       The conferees recommend an appropriation of $1,174,210,000 
     for the Defense Working Capital Funds as proposed by the 
     House instead of $1,685,886,000 as proposed by the Senate.

                     National Defense Sealift Fund

       The conferees agree to provide a total of $1,204,626,000 
     for the National Defense Sealift Fund instead of 
     $1,186,990,000 as proposed by the House and $441,936,000 as 
     proposed by the Senate.
       Within the funds provided, the conferees agree that 
     $768,400,000 is for construction of two T-AKE vessels as 
     proposed in the fiscal year 2005 budget request and 
     $28,000,000 is for the Maritime Pre-positioning Fleet 
     (Future), MPF(F).
       The conferees agree that none of the funds provided for the 
     MPF(F) may be obligated or expended until the Secretary of 
     the Navy submits to the congressional defense committees, a 
     detailed report on the MPF(F) mission, operational 
     requirements, analysis of alternatives, expenditure plans, 
     and overall program congruence with ongoing forcible entry 
     studies.

            Defense Health Program Reprogramming Procedures

       The conferees remain concerned regarding the transfer of 
     funds from Direct (or In-house) Care to pay for contractor-
     provided medical care. To limit such transfers and continue 
     oversight within the Defense Health Program operation and 
     maintenance account, the conferees have included bill 
     language which limits the funds available for Private Sector 
     Care under the TRICARE program subject to prior approval 
     reprogramming procedures. In addition, the conferees also 
     designate the funding for the Direct Care System as a special 
     interest item, as defined elsewhere in this report. Any 
     transfer of funds from the Direct (or In-house) Care budget 
     activity into the Private Sector Care budget activity or any 
     other budget activity will require the Department of Defense 
     to follow prior approval reprogramming procedures. The bill 
     language and accompanying report language included by the 
     conferees should not be interpreted by the Department as 
     limiting the amount of funds that may be transferred to the 
     direct care system from other budget activities within the 
     Defense Health Program.
       In addition, the conferees direct the Department of Defense 
     to provide budget execution data for all of the Defense 
     Health Program accounts. Such budget execution data shall be 
     provided quarterly to the congressional defense committees 
     through the DD-COMP(M) 1002 accounting form.

                 Peer Reviewed Medical Research Program

       The Senate recommended $50,000,000 for a Peer Reviewed 
     Medical Research program. The conferees agree to provide 
     $50,000,000 for this program, and recommend the following 
     projects as candidates for study: acellular human tissue 
     matrix research; amyotrophic lateral sclerosis; alcoholism 
     research; anti-radiation drug development; autism; blood-
     related cancer research; Interstitial Cystitis; childhood 
     asthma; chronic pain research; conjugate vaccines to prevent 
     shigellosis; diabetes research; Duchenne's disease research; 
     epilepsy research; Lupus and LupusBiomarker Research; 
     orthopaedic extremity trauma research; osteoporosis and bone-
     related diseases; Padget's disease; post traumatic stress 
     disorders; social work research; Volume Angio CAT (VAC) 
     research; and autoimmune diseases such as scleroderma and 
     Sjogren's syndrome.
       The conferees direct the Department to provide a report by 
     March 1, 2005, on the status of this Peer Reviewed Medical 
     Research Program.

     Walter Reed Army Medical Center--Amputee Patient Care Program

       Ongoing combat operations have produced a surge from 3 to 6 
     percent in complex combat injuries involving amputations of 
     major limbs. The Military Amputee Patient Care Program 
     headquartered at Walter Reed Army Medical Center provides a 
     center of expertise for state-of-the-art treatment, the 
     rehabilitation of military amputee patients to the highest 
     level of physical function, and a return to active duty if 
     possible. The conferees commend the Army and those associated 
     with this vital effort.
       The conferees recommend an additional $19,200,000 over the 
     budget request for this program. This includes $7,800,000 for 
     operating costs associated with the center, including but not 
     limited to personnel, equipment, patient travel, and 
     prosthetic device costs; and $10,000,000 for prosthetic limb 
     development and increased clinical and applied collaborative 
     research in prosthetic care. Finally, the conferees provide 
     an additional $1,400,000 for procurement of support equipment 
     to enhance the new facility at Walter Reed Army Medical 
     Center.

                           Army Fisher Houses

       The conferees include a General Provision as proposed by 
     the House, which provides $2,000,000 for construction and 
     furnishing of additional Fisher Houses to meet the needs of 
     military family members when confronted with the illness or 
     hospitalization of an eligible military beneficiary.
       The conferees also provide $9,500,000 in the Defense Health 
     Program for the Army's nonappropriated fund instrumentalities 
     (NAFI), as opposed to $11,000,000 proposed by the House. The 
     conferees are aware that the NAFI, which was established by 
     law to help defray the operating costs of Fisher Houses, have 
     decreased in value due to poor financial market performance. 
     The conferees are also aware that the costs to manage many 
     Fisher Houses are much higher than planned due to an influx 
     of patients at military treatment facilities as a result of 
     casualties suffered during Operations Iraqi and Enduring 
     Freedom. The funds provided to the NAFI will help to mitigate 
     any deficit which may occur in fiscal year 2005 and prevent 
     this deficit in future years. The conferees direct the 
     Secretary of Defense to analyze the financial condition of 
     the Fisher House operating accounts and submit a report to 
     the congressional defense committees by March 1, 2005.

                         Mental Health Services

       The conferees believe that hardships resulting from U.S. 
     troop deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan make it imperative 
     for the Department of Defense to offer adequate mental health 
     services for active duty and reserve members deployed to 
     combat theaters. The conferees also are concerned that 
     sufficient mental health services be made readily available 
     to dependents of active duty and reserve members. As such, 
     the conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to conduct a 
     comprehensive review of mental health services available to 
     our military members deployed in combat theaters, as well as 
     a review of services that may be available to their 
     dependents during and after a military member's deployment. 
     The report should be submitted to the congressional defense 
     committees no later than 180 days after enactment of this 
     bill. The review should include, but not be limited to, the 
     following subjects:
       --Data on the average number of service days lost due to 
     mental health reasons;
       --The types of measures taken by the military services to 
     reduce the stigma often associated with mental health 
     counseling;
       --An analysis of mental health services available--and 
     barriers to access--to active duty and reserve members and 
     their dependents (including dependents of activated members 
     of the National Guard and Reserve Components);
       --An analysis of the extent to which the U.S. Army has 
     implemented the recommendations of the Army's Mental Health 
     Advisory Team; and
       --A plan for actions that the Secretary of Defense 
     determines appropriate for improving the delivery of mental 
     health services to members of the Armed Forces and their 
     dependents.
       The conferees further direct the Secretary of Defense to 
     submit a report to the congressional defense committees not 
     later than 360 days after enactment of this bill describing 
     the actions taken to implement the aforementioned plan and 
     the reason why actions in the plan have not been completed, 
     if any.

                        Third Party Collections

       The House and Senate both expressed concern with the lack 
     of third-party collections as outlined in General Accounting 
     Office (GAO) report 04322R. According to the GAO report, 
     DoD's Third-Party Collections Program generates on average 
     about $122 million annually. However, total collections for 
     fiscal year 2003 were down $30 million from the previous 
     year, and the GAO has further documented that DoD fails to 
     collect $44 million a year from third party insurers. It is 
     clear that DoD's failure to effectively bill and collect from 
     third-party insurers pursuant to law precludes the military 
     treatment facilities from maximizing the resources available 
     to them. The conferees also have concerns that DoD reduced 
     its Information Technology budget for third-party outpatient 
     collection systems from fiscal year 2004 to fiscal year 2005.
       The conferees direct the Department to report to the 
     congressional defense committees by April 1, 2005, regarding 
     the status of the transition to outpatient itemized billing 
     and how third-party collections have progressed since the 
     implementation of this system began in fiscal year 2003. 
     Finally, the conferees direct the Assistant Secretary of 
     Defense (Health Affairs) to make the necessary business 
     process improvements to ensure that Military Treatment 
     Facilities are collecting all appropriate third party 
     payments, and to submit quarterly reports to the 
     congressional defense committees on the status of collections 
     during the current fiscal year.

                    Office of the Inspector General

       The conferees have agreed to provide a total amount of 
     $204,562,000 for the Office of the Inspector General. Of this 
     amount $202,362,000 shall be for operation and maintenance, 
     $2,100,000 shall be for procurement, and $100,000 shall be 
     for research, development, test and evaluation. The conferees 
     have provided funds to ensure that aggressive implementation 
     of all efforts to achieve the Department of Defense's high 
     priority goal of gaining clean and auditable financial 
     statements is supported including necessary growth in audit 
     capability.

                         Energy Contract Review

       The conferees are aware that the Department of Defense 
     issued a $36,000,000 contract to Reliant Energy Solutions 
     East to provide electricity to military installations on May 
     19, 2004. The Federal Acquisition Regulation authorizes the 
     suspension of a contractor on the basis of adequate evidence 
     of any offense ``indicating a lack of business integrity or 
     business honesty that seriously and directly affects the 
     present responsibility of the contractor.'' The conferees 
     direct the Department of Defense Inspector General to review 
     the contract and to take any necessary action against Reliant 
     Energy, Inc. and its subsidiaries, if appropriate. The 
     Department is directed to report to the Committees on 
     Appropriations within 180 days of enactment of this Act on 
     the findings of its review and any subsequent actions taken 
     on this contract.

                      TITLE VII--RELATED AGENCIES

   Central Intelligence Agency Retirement and Disability System Fund

       The conference agreement appropriates $239,400,000 for 
     payment to the Central Intelligence Agency Retirement and 
     Disability System Fund, as proposed by both the House and the 
     Senate.

               Intelligence Community Management Account


                     (including transfer of funds)

       The conference agreement appropriates $310,466,000 instead 
     of $309,644,000 as proposed by the House and $319,355,000 as 
     proposed by the Senate.
       The conference agreement provides for a transfer of 
     $39,422,000 to the Department of Justice for the National 
     Drug Intelligence Center to support the Department of 
     Defense's counter-drug intelligence responsibilities, instead 
     of $46,100,000 as proposed by the House and $34,911,000 as 
     proposed by the Senate.

                 National Security Education Trust Fund

       The conference agreement appropriates $8,000,000 for the 
     purposes of title VIII of Public Law 102-183, to be derived 
     from the National Security Education Trust Fund, as proposed 
     by both the House and the Senate.

                     TITLE VIII--GENERAL PROVISIONS

       The conference agreement incorporated general provisions of 
     the House and Senate versions of the bill which were not 
     amended. Those general provisions that were amended in 
     conference follow:
       The conferees included a general provision (Section 8005) 
     which amends language, as proposed by the House and the 
     Senate, that increases the level of general transfer 
     authority for the Department of Defense, and provides that 
     transfers between military personnel appropriations shall not

    Contracts for Security, Translation, and Interrogation Services

       The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to provide to 
     the congressional defense committees, not later than four 
     months after the date of enactment of this Act, a list of all 
     contracts entered into by the Department of Defense for the 
     provision of security, translation and interrogation services 
     in Iraq, Afghanistan, or Guantanamo Bay, and the amount of 
     each such contract.

                            Train and Equip

       The conferees have provided an additional $500,000,000 to 
     train, equip, and provide related assistance to the New Iraqi 
     Army and the Afghan National Army. The conferees have 
     provided this funding level with the understanding it will be 
     sufficient to carry the program through all of fiscal year 
     2005.

                 Commander's Emergency Response Program

       The conferees have provided an additional $300,000,000 to 
     continue the Commander's Emergency Response Program (CERP) 
     for Iraq and Afghanistan. The conferees believe CERP has been 
     one of the most successful humanitarian assistance programs 
     in Iraq and Afghanistan. The conferees want to ensure that 
     these funds are directed to such efforts and that funding for 
     administrative functions are minimized. In addition, the 
     conferees have received only two reports from the Department 
     on the use of the CERP. The conferees concur with the Senate 
     Report 108-284 regarding the timeliness and detail of 
     reporting requirements.

                    Navy Aircraft Depot Maintenance

       The conferees agree to provide $66,000,000 for Navy 
     aircraft depot maintenance. From the funds made available for 
     this purpose, the conferees urge the Navy to give priority 
     consideration for critical and emergent P-3C and EP-3 
     sustainment including phase depot maintenance, Enhanced 
     Special Structural Inspections (ESSI), and inventory 
     sustainment initiatives, as identified in the Chief of Naval 
     Operations' fiscal year 2005 unfunded priority list 
     submission to the congressional defense committees.

                           Iraq Freedom Fund

       The conference agreement includes $3,800,000,000 for the 
     Iraq Freedom Fund. Of this amount, $1,800,000,000 is only for 
     classified activities, and is described further in a 
     classified annex to this report. Additionally, the conferees 
     direct that up to $100,000,000 shall be available for the 
     Department of Homeland Security, ``United States Coast Guard, 
     Operating Expenses''.

                              Procurement

       The following table provides details of the recommendation 
     for the procurement accounts:

               Rapid Response Force Protection Initiative

       The conferees agree with the direction expressed in the 
     Senate-passed version of the fiscal year 2005 DoD 
     Appropriations bill on the need to provide improved force 
     protection for deployed forces. Further, the conferees agree 
     with the Senate that the Army must be given the greatest 
     flexibility possible with regard to force protection 
     responses. As stated in the Senate report, these options may 
     include armor bolt-on kits for M113A2/3 armored personnel 
     carriers, other bolt-on armor kits, applied uparmoring 
     system, armored cabs, or armored security vehicles (ASV). 
     Accordingly, the conferees provide $100,000,000 for this 
     effort. The Secretary of the Army shall provide a report to 
     the congressional defense committees detailing all 
     expenditures made using these funds not later than January 5, 
     2005.

                     Revolving and Management Funds


                     defense working capital funds

       The conferees recommend an appropriation of $1,478,000,000 
     for the Defense Working Capital Funds instead of 
     $1,250,000,000 as proposed by the House and $740,000,000 as 
     earmarked in the Iraq Freedom Fund by the Senate.

                  Other Department of Defense Programs


                         defense health program

       The conferees provide $683,000,000 for the Defense Health 
     Program. These funds will cover additional costs incurred by 
     the military medical system, including costs associated with 
     improving medical readiness for Ready Reserve members, and 
     enhanced TRICARE benefits for members of the Reserve 
     Component and their families. The conferees believe this will 
     be sufficient to cover increased Defense Health Program costs 
     for at least four months.

                     GENERAL PROVISIONS--THIS TITLE

       The conferees agree to retain section 9001 as proposed by

     that transfers among military personnel appropriations shall 
     not be taken into account for purposes of the limitation 
     under this section. Additionally, the provision repeals, upon 
     enactment of this Act, Section 168(a) of division H of the

     The Senate did not address this matter.
       The conferees agree to retain section 9004 as proposed by

     of this Act for intelligence activities are deemed to be

     Security Act of 1947. The Senate addressed this in title VIII 
     of the Senate-passed bill.
       The conferees agree to retain and amend section 9005 as 
     proposed by the House and the Senate, which prohibits the use

     and requires written notification prior to initiating new 
     start programs.
       The conferees agree to delete language as proposed by the 
     House, which would have continued authorization for certain 
     travel and clothing allowances during fiscal year 2005. The 
     Senate did not address this matter.
       The conferees agree to delete language as proposed by the 
     House, which would have continued through September 30, 2005, 
     authorization for certain military pay and allowances. The 
     Senate did not address this matter.
       The conferees agree to retain and amend section 9006 as 
     proposed by the House, which provides for support to military 
     and security forces in Iraq and Afghanistan and provides 
     $500,000,000 from funds available for operation and 
     maintenance in this title to train and equip the New Iraqi 
     Army and the Afghan National Army, and directs certain 
     reports. The Senate included a similar provision.
       The conferees agree to retain and amend section 9007 as

     the Senate which provides that funds available for operation 
     and maintenance for the current fiscal year may be used for 
     support to coalition forces in Iraq and Afghanistan, and 
     directs quarterly reports. The House included similar 
     language.
       The conferees agree to retain section 9010 as proposed by 
     the House which requires periodic reports on military 
     operations in Iraq and Afghanistan; amounts expended; 
     military readiness, recruitment and retention; and other 
     subjects. The Senate did not address this matter.
       The conferees agree to retain section 9011 as proposed by 
     the House which reaffirms that torture of prisoners of war 
     and detainees is illegal and does not reflect the policies of 
     the United States. The Senate did not address this matter.
       The conferees agree to retain and amend section 9012 as 
     proposed by the House which directs the President to provide 
     a report on estimated costs, from fiscal year 2006 to 2011, 
     of operations in and around Iraq and Afghanistan. The Senate 
     did not address this matter.
       The conferees agree to delete language as proposed by the 
     House pertaining to the debt ceiling. The Senate did not 
     address this matter.
