     findings:
       (1) Title IX of the Department of Defense Appropriations

     $50,000,000,000 for the cost of ongoing military operations 
     overseas in fiscal year 2006, although those funds were not 
     requested by the President.
       (2) The President on February 16, 2006, submitted to 
     Congress a request for supplemental appropriations in the 
     amount of $67,600,000,000 for ongoing military operations in 
     fiscal year 2006, none of which supplemental appropriations 
     was included in the concurrent resolution on the budget for 
     fiscal year 2006, as agreed to in the Senate on April 28, 
     2005.
       (3) The President on February 6, 2006, included a 
     $50,000,000,000 allowance for ongoing military operations in 
     fiscal year 2007, but did not formally request the funds or 
     provide any detail on how the allowance may be used.
       (4) The concurrent resolution on the budget for fiscal year 
     2007, as agreed to in the Senate on March 16, 2007, 
     anticipates as much as $86,300,000,000 in emergency spending 
     in fiscal year 2007, indicating that the Senate expects to 
     take up another supplemental appropriations bill to fund 
     ongoing military operations during fiscal year 2007.
       (b) Sense of Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that--
       (1) any request for funds for a fiscal year after fiscal 
     year 2007 for ongoing military operations in Afghanistan and 
     Iraq should be included in the annual budget of the President 
     for such fiscal year as submitted to Congress under section 
     1105(a) of title 31, United States Code;
       (2) any request for funds for such a fiscal year for 
     ongoing military operations should provide an estimate of all 
     funds required in that fiscal year for such operations;
       (3) any request for funds for ongoing military operations 
     should include a detailed justification of the anticipated 
     use of such funds for such operations; and
       (4) any funds provided for ongoing military operations 
     overseas should be provided in appropriations Acts for such 
     fiscal year through appropriations to specific accounts set 
     forth in such appropriations Acts.

                    GENERAL PROVISIONS--THIS CHAPTER

       Sec. 2601. (a) In this section:

     and university capital financing under part D of title III of 
     the Higher Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 1066 et seq.), in 
     connection with a Gulf hurricane disaster, to ensure that--
       (1) the calculation of financing need under section 343 of 
     such Act (20 U.S.C. 1066b) for an affected institution is 
     modified to reflect any changes in the financial condition of 
     the institution as a result of the Gulf hurricane disaster; 
     and
       (2) an affected institution that was not receiving 
     assistance under such part before the Gulf hurricane disaster 
     is eligible to apply for capital financing to assist in 
     institutional recovery from the Gulf hurricane disaster.
       (c)(1) Notwithstanding section 343(b)(1) or any other

     requirements of section 343(b)(8) and 343(c)(2) of such Act 
     (20 U.S.C. 1066(b)(8)) shall not apply with respect to an 
     affected institution receiving a loan under part D of title 
     III of such Act (20 U.S.C. 1066 et seq.).
       (d) Notwithstanding any provision of title III of the 
     Higher Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 1051 et seq.), or any 
     regulation promulgated under such title, the Secretary of 
     Education shall grant a deferment, for a period of not more 
     than 3 years, to an affected institution that has received a

     not accrue for the period of the deferment. During the 
     deferment period, the Secretary shall make principal and 
     interest payments otherwise due under the loan agreement. At 
     the closing of the loan, terms shall be set under which the 
     affected institution shall be required to repay the Secretary 
     for the payments of principal made by the Secretary during 
     the deferment, on a schedule that begins upon repayment to 
     the lender in full on the loan agreement.

     agreement modified or waived by the authority under this 
     section shall remain so modified or waived for the duration 
     of the period covered by the loan agreement or insurance 
     agreement.

                         Reporting Requirements

       The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to provide a 
     report to the congressional defense committees within 30 days 
     after the date of enactment of this legislation on the 
     allocation of the funds within the accounts listed in this 
     chapter. The Secretary shall submit updated reports 30 days 
     after the end of each fiscal quarter until funds listed in 
     this chapter are no longer available for obligation. The 
     conferees direct that these reports shall include: a detailed 
     accounting of obligations and expenditures of appropriations 
     provided in this chapter by program and subactivity group for 
     the continuation of the war in Iraq and Afghanistan; and a 
     listing of equipment procured using funds provided in this 
     chapter. The conferees expect that in order to meet 
     unanticipated requirements, the Department of Defense may 
     need to transfer funds within these appropriations accounts 
     for purposes other than those specified in this report. The 
     conferees direct the Department of Defense to follow normal 
     prior approval reprogramming procedures should it be 
     necessary to transfer funding between different 
     appropriations accounts in this chapter.
       Additionally, the conferees direct that the reporting 
     requirements of section 9010 of Public Law 109-148, the 
     Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2006, regarding 
     military operations and stability in Iraq shall apply to the 
     funds appropriated in this Act.

   Army Combat Brigades and Long-Term Equipment Repair Costs Reports

       The conferees agree on the House requirements for reports 
     to be submitted to the congressional defense committees on 
     Army Combat Brigades and Long-Term Equipment Repair Costs. 
     The conferees direct that the reports shall be submitted not 
     later than July 7, 2006.

                       National Guard And Reserve

       The House report directed that not less than $3,571,083,000 
     of the funds provided in this bill shall be provided for the 
     National Guard and Reserve forces to prosecute the Global War 
     on Terror. The conferees agree that within the funds provided 
     in the conference report, the National Guard and Reserve 
     should receive not less than the President's budget request 
     for these activities.

                            Stryker Upgrades

       The conferees urge the Department of the Army to initiate 
     Block 2 upgrade programs for existing Stryker brigades 
     undergoing reset maintenance using funds available in this 
     Act.

                          Classified Programs

       Recommended adjustments to classified programs are 
     addressed in a classified annex accompanying this report.

                           MILITARY PERSONNEL

       The conference agreement recommends $10,282,131,000 for the 
     military personnel accounts, instead of $9,933,381,000 as 
     proposed by the House, and $10,204,007,000 as proposed by the 
     Senate. The conference agreement on items addressed by either

         Comprehensive Combat Casualty Care Center in San Diego

       The conferees are pleased that the Navy has made funds 
     available to open the Comprehensive Combat Casualty Care 
     Center in San Diego and that the Navy has agreed to continue 
     financing this center in future budgets. The creation of this 
     center will help marines, sailors and soldiers assigned to 
     the West Coast return to their commands, families and 
     communities, while ensuring that their rehabilitation 
     continues without interruption.

                Operation and Maintenance, Defense-Wide

       The conference agreement includes $5,000,000 for 
     emergencies and extraordinary expenses instead of $10,000,000 
     as proposed by the House. The Senate did not address this 
     matter.
       The conference agreement includes $740,000,000 in coalition 
     support funding as proposed by the Senate instead of 
     $1,200,000,000 as proposed by the House.
       The conference agreement amends Senate language providing 
     that up to $75,000,000 shall be transferred to the Coast 
     Guard for operating expenses. The House bill addressed this 
     matter in the Operation and Maintenance, Navy account.

                       border Security Initiative

       On May 18, 2006, the Administration submitted a revised 
     supplemental request for a border security initiative. The 
     revised request provided an additional $1,900,000,000 to the 
     Departments of Defense, Justice and Homeland Security for 
     this initiative. The additional amount for the President's 
     border security initiative was offset by a corresponding 
     reduction to the Department of Defense's funding for the 
     Global War on Terror.
       The conferees recommend $708,000,000, instead of 
     $756,000,000 as proposed by the Administration, for the 
     Department of Defense to fund the incremental military 
     personnel and operation and maintenance costs of deploying up 
     to 6,000 National Guard personnel to the U.S. border for one 
     year in support of the Department of Homeland Security.
       The funds recommended for the Department of Defense are 
     addressed in Title V of this Act.

                  Counseling and Transition Assistance

       The conferees remain concerned about the effects of combat 
     operations on the emotional and psychological well-being of 
     our military forces returning from war. This concern is borne 
     out by a recently released Veterans Administration (VA) 
     report that indicates almost 30,000 Operation Iraqi Freedom/
     Operation Enduring Freedom veterans have reported to VA 
     hospitals with effects from post traumatic stress syndrome 
     (PTSD). To address this issue, the conferees agree to include 
     $93,000,000 for family support counseling and transition 
     assistance, an increase of $50,000,000 over the request. The 
     conferees believe the Department of Defense should redouble 
     its efforts to understand the counseling and transition 
     assistance needs of our returning troops and seek sufficient 
     funding for programs that address these needs.

              Former Soviet Union Threat Reduction Account

       The conference agreement provides $44,500,000 for the 
     Former Soviet Union Threat Reduction Account.

               Afghanistan and Iraq Security Forces Funds

       The conference agreement provides $1,908,133,000 for the 
     Afghanistan Security Forces Fund, as proposed by the Senate, 
     instead of $1,851,833,000 as proposed by the House; and 
     provides $3,007,000,000 for the Iraq Security Forces Fund, as 
     proposed by the House, instead of $3,703,000,000, as proposed 
     by the Senate. The conferees agree that funds may be made 
     available for infrastructure for the security forces in both 
     countries that are being trained and equipped by the United 
     States and its coalition allies, including police and 
     military forces.
       While the conference agreement does not provide full 
     funding as requested by the President for these funds, the 
     conferees note that it would not have been possible for the 
     requested funds to be fully obligated and expended in the 
     remaining months of fiscal year 2006. The reduction is taken 
     without prejudice.
       The conferees endorse language as proposed by the House 
     regarding reporting requirements for the Afghanistan and Iraq 
     Security Forces Funds.
       The conferees are concerned that Iraq's neighbors in the 
     Middle East have not provided sufficient resources to ensure 
     security and stability in that country. Many of these nations 
     have experienced greatly increased revenue flows due to the 
     rise in oil prices. While the United States and its coalition 
     allies have borne the predominant burden of combat 
     operations, supporting free elections, and helping establish 
     a permanent government, Arab and other nations in the region 
     now need to greatly enhance their assistance for the new 
     Iraqi security forces. The conferees strongly urge the 
     Department of Defense and the Administration to renew efforts 
     to solicit contributions from these nations so that in the 
     future the United States is not the primary source of funds 
     for the modernization of the Iraqi security forces.

                 Commander's Emergency Response Program

       The conferees provide $423,000,000 for the Commander's 
     Emergency Response Program (CERP), as proposed by both the 
     House and the Senate. The conferees endorse language

[[Page H3609]]

     as proposed by the House that amends current CERP reporting 
     requirements. The conferees also recognize that military 
     commanders in the field are the first line of contact with 
     the civilian population and therefore direct that the CERP 
     funds remain under the operational control of the military

       The conferees agree with the intent of the Senate language 
     on condolence payments to civilians who have suffered 
     injuries, or to the families of those who have died, as a 
     result of combat operations. In addressing Department of 
     Defense condolence payments, the report should only address 
     activities funded under the CERP program. Recommendations on 
     funding mechanisms for condolence payments should include a 
     consideration of funding through other Federal Agencies.

             Joint Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Fund

       The conferees provide $1,958,089,000 for the Joint 
     Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Fund, as proposed by the 
     Senate.
       The conferees endorse the Senate language which directs the 
     Department of Defense to provide an initial report on the 
     organization, funding, and other matters related to the Joint 
     Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Fund. The initial report 
     shall be provided to the congressional defense committees 
     within 60 days of enactment of the accompanying Act. In 
     addition, the Department is to provide subsequent reports not 
     later than 30 days after the end of each fiscal quarter to 
     the congressional defense committees.

       The conference agreement includes $43,000,000 for 
     assistance for Afghanistan as proposed by the Senate, instead 
     of $5,000,000 as proposed by the House.
       The conference agreement includes a proposal by the Senate 
     to provide $11,000,000 for costs of modifying direct loans 
     and guarantees for Afghanistan and that the costs of 
     modifying such loans should not be considered assistance.
       The conference agreement includes a proposal by the Senate 
     to provide $5,000,000 for agriculture and rural development 
     programs in Afghanistan to be administered through a national

     $10,000,000 as proposed by the House and $75,000,000 as 
     proposed by the Senate. The conferees agree that significant 
     congressional support for ICAP is due to the fine work that 
     has been achieved by this consortium of nongovernmental 
     organizations committed to making the lives of Iraq's 
     citizens more productive. These funds will enable ICAP to 
     continue functioning at approximately the current level 
     through fiscal year 2006, after which fiscal year 2007 funds 
     will become available.
       The conference agreement includes language to transfer 
     $5,000,000 of the ICAP funds to the Iraq Relief and 
     Reconstruction Fund (IRRF) for the Marla Ruzicka Iraqi War 
     Victims Fund, instead of $10,000,000 as proposed by the

     promote the development of civil society, political parties, 
     election processes and parliament. The Senate addressed this 
     issue in Section 1407 of the bill. The conferees agree that 
     the funds shall be provided to the following organizations in

     requirements contained in Section 1407(b) of the Senate bill.

     instead of no funding as proposed by the House and

     increase economic opportunities, for police reform, and 
     judicial and legal reforms.

     police and judicial reform programs for Haiti be subject to

     assistance for Jordan instead of no funding as proposed by

       The conference agreement includes $40,500,000 for 
     assistance for Pakistan as proposed by the House and the 
     Senate for assistance to meet urgent needs associated with 
     the October 2005 earthquake, including reimbursement of funds 
     previously expended for such purposes.
       The conference agreement includes $50,000,000 for 
     assistance for Liberia as proposed by the House and the 
     Senate. The conferees agree with the language as proposed by 
     the Senate that assistance for Liberia should be for 
     emergency employment activities, infrastructure development 
     projects, democracy, human rights and rule of law programs, 
     and activities to assist with the demobilization and 
     reintegration of ex-rebel combatants.
       The conferees expect compliance with the reporting 
     requirement and the limitation on expenditures with respect

     proposed by the Senate.
       The conference agreement provides $2,500,000 for assistance 
     for the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) instead of no 
     funding as proposed by the House and $5,000,000 as proposed 
     by the Senate. The conferees agree to provide these funds for 
     immediate electoral assistance and to improve governance and 
     consolidate democracy following the elections this year, the 
     first in the DRC in nearly half a century.
       The conference agreement includes a proposal by the Senate 
     that funds available under this heading are available 
     notwithstanding any other provision of law and those funds 
     available to promote democracy in Iran shall be administered 
     by the Middle East Partnership Initiative. The conference

     democracy programs in Iran as proposed by the House.

     proposed by both the House and the Senate.

     available until September 30, 2008 as proposed by the Senate

     from within funds appropriated under this heading, up to

     Colombian Navy, instead of $26,300,000 as proposed by the 
     House and no funding as proposed by the Senate. The 
     conference agreement also includes language that allows for 
     the transfer of these funds to the ``Foreign Military 
     Financing Program'' should this provide the most effective 
     means of procuring a maritime patrol aircraft for the 
     Colombian Navy.
       The conferees direct the Director of the Defense Security

     notwithstanding section 599E of Public Law 109-102. The 
     conferees agree to provide these funds to support criminal 
     investigations and prosecutions related to the demobilization 
     of paramilitary organizations. These funds are in addition to 
     the $1,700,000 made available in fiscal year 2005 funds that 
     have already been allocated for this purpose.


                    migration and refugee assistance

     a professional, disciplined force that respects human rights 
     and civilian authority will be essential to stability and 
     peace in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The conferees 
     direct the Department of State to consult with the Committees 
     on Appropriations prior to the obligation of these funds.

     (Sec. 3012) and similar to a provision proposed by the Senate

                               CHAPTER 4

                    DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

                       UNITED STATES COAST GUARD

                           Operating Expenses

       The conferees agree to provide $26,692,000 as proposed by 
     the House and the Senate for the United States Coast Guard's 
     share of enhanced death gratuity benefits and for upgrades to 
     necessary intelligence systems.

                               CHAPTER 5

                         DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

       Use of requested military construction funds to offset 
     border security proposal.--The Office of Management and 
     Budget (OMB) submitted on February 16, 2006, an emergency 
     military construction request for the global war on terrorism 
     totaling $484,700,000. The projects comprised by that request 
     were deemed urgent and vital to ongoing contingency 
     operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. On May 14, 2006, OMB 
     submitted a border security funding proposal that included 
     offsets from the military construction request submitted in 
     February. Included in this list were three projects at 
     Bagram, Afghanistan, though OMB gave no explanation as to why 
     these projects were no longer deemed emergency requirements. 
     The conferees do not recommend funding for these three 
     projects, since the Administration no longer regards them as 
     priorities. The conferees believe that emergency spending 
     requests must be taken seriously and deserve to be reviewed 
     and acted upon in good faith. Such consideration becomes more 
     difficult, however, when emergency requests are revoked 
     without any

[[Page H3614]]

     apparent reason related to changing facts on the ground in 
     the theater of operations.

                      Military Construction, Army

       The conferees agree to provide $187,100,000, instead of 
     $287,100,000 as proposed by the House and $214,344,000 as 
     proposed by the Senate. The conferees agree to include a 
     provision as proposed by the House to prohibit the obligation 
     or expenditure of funds for Counter IED/Urban Bypass Roads in 
     Iraq until the Secretary of Defense submits a detailed plan 
     for the construction of such roads. The Senate bill contained 
     no similar provision. The conferees also agree to make the 
     funds available until September 30, 2007, as proposed by the 
     House, instead of September 30, 2010, as proposed by the 
     Senate. Funds are provided as follows:

     Defense authority to transfer up to $150,000,000 of funds 
     made available in this chapter and in chapter II of title I 
     of this Act.
       The conferees agree to retain section 2202, as proposed by 
     the House and Senate, which prohibits funds provided in this 
     chapter to finance programs or activities denied by Congress, 
     or to initiate a new start program without prior notification 
     to the congressional defense committees.
       The conferees agree to amend section 2203, as proposed by 
     the Senate, to allow for the use of funds appropriated to the 
     Navy for certain specified activities.

                               CHAPTER 3

                      DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE--CIVIL

                         DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY

                       CORPS OF ENGINEERS--CIVIL

       The Committee recommendation provides emergency funding to 
     address water resource needs related to Hurricane Katrina and 
     other emergency needs.

                             INVESTIGATIONS

       Funds totaling $3,300,000 are provided for the Corps to 
     develop a comprehensive plan, at full Federal expense, to 
     deauthorize deep draft navigation on the Mississippi River-
     Gulf Outlet, Louisiana. The plan shall include recommended 
     modifications to the existing authorized current use of the 
     Outlet, including what navigation functions, if any, should 
     be maintained and any measures for hurricane and storm 
     protection. The plan shall be developed in consultation with 
     St. Bernard Parish, the State of Louisiana, and affected 
     Federal Agencies. An interim report summarizing the plan 
     shall be forwarded to the appropriate House and Senate 
     authorizing and appropriations committees within six months 
     of enactment of this Act and final recommendations shall be 
     integrated into the Louisiana Coastal Protection and 
     Restoration Plan, due to Congress in December 2007.
       Additionally, the Secretary is directed to undertake an 
     analysis to determine the amount of vertical settlement or 
     subsidence that has occurred since levee system components 
     were built, versus levee grade deficiencies due to the 
     application of new storm data. The Plan shall address how 
     these changes affect compliance with 100-year floodplain 
     certification and standard project hurricane requirements. A 
     report on the findings of this analysis shall be forwarded to 
     the appropriate authorizing and appropriations committees 
     within 90 days of enactment of this Act.

                              CONSTRUCTION

       Funds totaling $549,400,000 are provided for Construction. 
     The Conferees are aware that the wetlands surrounding the 
     greater New Orleans metropolitan area operate as a natural 
     buffer to lessen storm impacts, and are an important part of 
     the overall storm damage reduction system. Nourishing and 
     rebuilding these wetlands will increase the effectiveness of 
     the levees and floodwalls of New Orleans. Therefore, the 
     Conferees recommend bill language directing the Corps to use 
     $20,200,000, at full Federal expense, to reduce the risks of 
     storm surge and storm damage to the greater New Orleans 
     metropolitan area by restoring the surrounding wetlands, and 
     to aid in the reduction of risk to both loss of life and 
     damage to homes, businesses, and local infrastructure in the 
     metropolitan area. The Corps is further directed to use these 
     funds in the following manner: $10,100,000 to modify the 
     Caernarvon Freshwater Diversion structure or its operations; 
     and $10,100,000 to protect the shoreline along the Barataria 
     Basin Landbridge in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana. Of the funds 
     provided, at least $495,300,000 shall be available, 
     consistent with cost sharing provisions, to raise levee 
     heights and otherwise improve the existing Lake Pontchartrain 
     and Vicinity and the West Bank and Vicinity projects.
       Additional funds of $1,500,000 are provided to address 
     storm damages to North Padre Island, Texas, caused by 
     Hurricane Emily, and $2,000,000 is provided for Hawaii water 
     systems technical assistance program.
       In recognition of flood threats to the Sacramento area, the 
     Conferees have included $7,100,000 for South Sacramento 
     Streams, California, and $23,300,000 for the Sacramento Bank 
     Protection Project, California. The Corps is further directed 
     to use up to $400,000 of previously appropriated funds to 
     continue the operation of the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal 
     Demonstration Barrier.

[[Page H3619]]

       The moratorium on the execution of project cooperation 
     agreements contained in P.L. 109-275 shall not apply to 
     continuing authorities program projects for which funding was 
     provided, or is otherwise available, to fully fund the 
     construction phase of the project. For those projects where 
     the local sponsor's cost share will be lost due to the 
     inability to sign a project cooperation agreement, the Corps 
     may sign project cooperation agreements with the explicit 
     consent of the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations. 
     For any project for which an exception is made due to this 
     circumstance, the local sponsors of such projects should be 
     aware that the construction of the project remains contingent 
     upon future appropriations which are not guaranteed.
       Further, requirement that the Corps institute cost sharing 
     for Sections 206 and 1135 projects was not intended to change 
     the cost share structure of projects currently in the 
     feasibility phase.

                         OPERATION MAINTENANCE

       Funds totaling $3,200,000 are provided to restore Federal 
     navigation channels and harbors along the Texas Gulf Coast to 
     pre-storm conditions affected by Hurricane Katrina and other 
     hurricanes of the 2005 season.

                 FLOOD CONTROL AND COASTAL EMERGENCIES

                    (INCLUDING RESCISSION OF FUNDS)

       Funds totaling $3,145,024,000 are recommended to continue 
     repairs to flood and storm damage reduction projects. These 
     projects are to be funded at full Federal expense.
       The Conferees provide the full request of $1,584,000,000 to 
     replace all floodwalls within Orleans East Bank Algiers, 
     Jefferson East Bank/St. Charles, Jefferson West Bank, New 
     Orleans East, St. Bernard/Lower Ninth Ward, Belle Chasse/
     Algiers East hydraulic areas of the existing Lake 
     Pntchartrain and Vicinity project and the existing West Bank 
     and Vicinity project, not including lower Plaquemines Parish. 
     However, the Conferees recognize this cost estimate is a 
     ``worst case'' scenario and assumes the replacement of all 
     flood walls. Therefore, the funds provided are contingent 
     upon site-specific engineering assessment and analysis that 
     determines replacement is necessary to maintain the integrity 
     of the system. Further, these funds are not available for any 
     other project, program, or activity without the approval of 
     the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations.
       The Conferees provide $530,000,000 for construction of 
     permanent closures and pumping plants at the 17th Street, 
     Orleans, and London Avenue Canals. Further, the Corps is 
     directed to provide adequate temporary pumping capacity to 
     evacuate expected flows from the existing pumping stations in 
     the three drainage canals in order to minimize interior 
     flooding.
       Additionally, the Conferees include: $170,000,000 for levee 
     and floodwall armoring; $350,000,000 to construct navigable 
     closures on the Inner Harbor Navigational Canal, one near 
     Seabrook and another on the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway; 
     $215,000,000 for incorporation of non-Federal levees on the 
     west bank of the Mississippi River in Plaquemines Parish in 
     order to provide improved storm surge protection and to 
     protect evacuation routes; $250,000,000 for storm proofing 
     interior pump stations to ensure their reliability during 
     hurricanes, storms and high water events; and $30,024,000 for 
     repairs to non-Federal levees in Terrebonne Parish.
       Within the funds provided, $16,000,000 shall be used to 
     restore previously appropriated emergency funds for flood 
     protection projects damaged in previous disasters in 
     Pennsylvania. Funds for these projects were withdrawn shortly 
     after Katrina struck the Gulf Coast to address immediate 
     needs.
       The Conferees also rescind $15,000,000 previously provided 
     in P.L. 109-148 for the Grand Isle, Louisiana project. It is 
     the Conferees' understanding that the project is not 
     economically justified and therefore the funds appropriated 
     to accelerate construction are no longer required.

                         BUREAU OF RECLAMATION

                      WATER AND RELATED RESOURCES

       The Conferees recognize that snowpack amounts in many areas 
     of the Southwest are at historic lows and precipitation 
     forecasts are not favorable for improving the situation. 
     Runoff in many river basins in the West is expected to be one 
     quarter of normal or less. The Conferees note that the 
     communities of Ruidoso, Ruidoso Downs and Las Vegas, New 
     Mexico, are already operating under stringent water 
     restrictions.
       Therefore, the Conferees have provided $9,000,000 for 
     drought emergency assistance. The Conferees expect 
     Reclamation to undertake drought contingency planning, to 
     provide emergency potable water sources for eligible 
     communities and to provide other drought emergency assistance 
     within their authorities to help stricken communities.

                     (including transfers of funds)

     are available until expended.

                  Federal Emergency Management Agency


                 administrative and regional operations

                            disaster relief

       The conferees agree to provide $6,000,000,000 for Disaster 
     Relief, instead of $9,548,000,000 as

[[Page H3620]]

     proposed by the House and $10,400,000,000 as proposed by the 
     Senate. The conferees do not specify the purposes for these 
     funds, except $400,000,000 of this amount is made available 
     to carry out section 2403 of this chapter.
       The conferees agree to include bill language proposed by 
     the Senate that each county or parish eligible for assistance 
     under the disaster declaration of September 24, 2005, will be 
     treated equally for purposes of cost-share adjustments.
       The conferees note the Department of Homeland Security 
     (DHS), in conjunction with the Federal Emergency Management 
     Agency (FEMA), recently issued interim policy guidance 
     clarifying that charter schools are eligible for FEMA's 
     Public Assistance Program. The conferees believe this policy 
     should be quickly finalized so it can be distributed to FEMA 
     officials throughout the country as expeditiously as 
     possible, and encourage DHS and FEMA to continue working with 
     the relevant Congressional committees on implementation of 
     this policy.
       The conferees concur with language proposed by the House 
     regarding the weekly Disaster Relief Report and the lack of 
     information regarding the assumptions DHS is using to 
     estimate total disaster relief funding needed this fiscal 
     year. Beginning immediately, the conferees direct DHS to 
     include an explanation of the methodology used to calculate 
     estimated yearly allocations by program area and program 
     name. This explanation shall include the total yearly cost 
     estimate, the amount allocated and obligated to date, and a 
     written explanation of the assumptions and methodology used 
     to estimate the total yearly cost.


            disaster assistance direct loan program account

       The conferees agree to provide $279,800,000 to subsidize 
     not to exceed $371,733,000 in loans for the Special Community 
     Disaster Loans Program authorized in the Community Disaster 
     Loan Act of 2005, P.L. 109-88, instead of $301,000,000 
     ($150,000,000 by transfer) as proposed by the House and 
     $301,000,000 as proposed by the Senate. Of this total, 
     $1,000,000 is included for administrative costs. The 
     conferees include bill language proposed by the Senate 
     specifying that loans may be equal to not more than 50 
     percent of the annual operating budget of the local 
     government in cases where that government has suffered a loss 
     of 25 percent or more in tax revenues due to Hurricanes 
     Katrina or Rita.

                    GENERAL PROVISIONS--THIS CHAPTER

       Sec. 2401. The conferees agree to include bill language as 
     proposed by the House and Senate authorizing FEMA to pay for 
     utility costs for those leases negotiated by State and local 
     governments on FEMA's behalf.
       Sec. 2402. The conferees agree to include bill language as 
     proposed by the House and Senate amending P.L. 109-90 to 
     allow the National Flood Insurance Fund to pay sufficient 
     interest on the amounts the program has borrowed from the 
     Treasury.
       Sec. 2403. The conferees agree to include and modify bill 
     language as proposed by the Senate allowing the Secretary of 
     Homeland Security to consider eligible for funding the costs 
     of alternative housing pilot programs in the areas hardest 
     hit by Hurricane Katrina and other hurricanes of the 2005 
     season.

                               CHAPTER 5

                       DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

                United States Fish and Wildlife Service


                              construction

       The conference agreement provides $132,400,000 for 
     ``Construction'', as proposed by both the House and the 
     Senate, for cleanup and facility repair needs at National 
     Wildlife Refuges related to the consequences of Hurricane 
     Katrina and other hurricanes of the 2005 season. The managers 
     agree that the Service shall, as proposed by the House, repay 
     funds that were transferred from projects that have yet to be 
     completed. These funds were transferred on an emergency basis 
     for initial hurricane response needs and must be repaid so 
     that projects from which they were borrowed can be completed. 
     A technical correction has been made to the repayment 
     language proposed by the House.

                         National Park Service


                       historic preservation fund

       The conference agreement provides $43,000,000 for the 
     ``Historic Preservation Fund'' instead of $3,000,000 as 
     proposed by the House and $83,000,000 as proposed by the 
     Senate. Of the funds provided, $3,000,000 is for Section 106 
     assistance and $40,000,000 is for disaster relief grants for 
     the preservation, stabilization, rehabilitation, and repair 
     of historic properties listed on or eligible for the National 
     Register of Historic places, and for planning and technical 
     assistance.
       These funds are available for obligation until September 
     30, 2007, as proposed by the House, instead of being 
     available until expended as proposed by the Senate.
       As proposed by the Senate, funds for historic preservation 
     grants are available for areas with a Presidential disaster 
     determination associated with Hurricanes Katrina or Rita; are 
     not subject to a non-Federal matching requirement; and no 
     more than 5% may be used for administrative expenses.
       The managers expect the National Park Service to award the 
     Section 106 assistance funds to the States without any delay. 
     Of the $3,000,000 available for Section 106 assistance, at 
     least $1,500,000 shall be available for the Mississippi State 
     Historic Preservation Officer. The remaining $40,000,000 is 
     for grants to State Historic Preservation Officers (SHPOs) as 
     described below.
       The managers expect the National Park Service to award 
     disaster relief grant funds to SHPOs in accordance with 
     existing Historic Preservation Fund policies and procedures, 
     except as modified herein, and only after a State has 
     submitted, and the National Park Service has reviewed, an 
     Action Plan Narrative that describes the major tasks to be 
     undertaken with the supplemental grant funds. Each task 
     statement shall describe the major services provided by 
     the State Historic Preservation Officer, the problems to 
     be addressed, a preliminary list of proposed projects and 
     their estimated costs, and the expected results.
       The National Park Service shall undertake its review of 
     each plan and shall award funds as expeditiously as possible. 
     Preference in making awards shall be given to plans that 
     include: (1) properties located within designated National 
     Heritage Areas; (2) owner-occupied houses; and (3) a 
     demonstrated ability to spend the funds expeditiously. The 
     managers intend that these funds be awarded with an emphasis 
     on individuals who are committed to rebuilding their 
     communities and who otherwise cannot afford the additional 
     costs often associated with historic preservation.
       No State shall receive more than 65% of the total available 
     for these grants. There is a 5% limitation on administrative 
     costs. Of the amount available for administrative expenses, 
     up to $550,000 is available to the National Park Service to 
     expedite awarding and oversight of the funds.


                              Construction

       The conference agreement provides $55,400,000 for 
     ``Construction'', as proposed by both the House and the

     advances to other appropriation accounts from which funds 
     were transferred for such purposes.

     Service's Gulf of Mexico regional office from Louisiana to 
     Houston, Texas, including purchase of new equipment and 
     temporary office arrangements, other disaster related 
     expenses, and repayment of advances to other appropriation 
     accounts from which funds were transferred for such 
     purposes.

                    ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY


                 Environmental Programs and Management

       The conference agreement provides $6,000,000 for

                Leaking Underground Storage Tank Program

       The conference agreement provides $7,000,000 for the 
     ``Leaking Underground Storage Tank Program'', as proposed by 
     both the House and the Senate, to assess the most immediate 
     underground storage tank needs in areas affected by Hurricane 
     Katrina and other hurricanes of the 2005 season and to 
     initiate appropriate corrective actions.

                       DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

                             Forest Service


                         National Forest System

       The conference agreement provides $20,000,000 for the 
     ``National Forest System'' as proposed by the House instead 
     of $50,000,000 as proposed by the Senate. As proposed by the 
     House, these funds are only for necessary expenses of debris 
     cleanup and related activities on National Forests affected 
     by Hurricane Katrina and other hurricanes of the 2005 season.

                               CHAPTER 6

                          DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

                 Employment and Training Administration


                    TRAINING AND EMPLOYMENT SERVICES

       The conference agreement includes $16,000,000 for the 
     reconstruction of two Job Corps facilities in Gulfport, 
     Mississippi and New Orleans, Louisiana. The Senate had 
     proposed $32,000,000 and the House had no similar provision. 
     The conferees instruct the Department to allocate $14,000,000 
     to the Gulfport facility and $2,000,000 to the New Orleans 
     facility for repairs and rehabilitation of damage due to 
     Hurricane Katrina.

                        Departmental Management


                      OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL

       The conference agreement does not include a provision 
     proposed by the Senate that provided $2,000,000 to the 
     Department of Labor, Office of Inspector General, for 
     hurricane-related expenses. The House bill did not include a 
     similar provision.

                DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

              Health Resources and Services Administration

       The conference agreement includes $4,000,000 to establish a 
     communications network, including the purchase and operation 
     of communications equipment, including satellite phones, for 
     community health centers and those entities (including major 
     medical centers and departments of public health) deemed by 
     the state associations of community health centers to be 
     critical in providing health care in the event of a future 
     hurricane or other natural disaster in states affected by 
     hurricane Katrina and other hurricanes of the 2005 season. 
     Where they exist, state associations representing community 
     health centers should be the primary recipient of these 
     funds. The conferees expect this funding to be distributed by 
     July 30, 2006 so that these systems can be in place as early 
     as possible in the hurricane season. The Senate included 
     $6,000,000 for this purpose. The House did not propose a 
     similar provision.

               Centers for Disease Control and Prevention


                DISEASE CONTROL, RESEARCH, AND TRAINING

       The conference agreement includes $8,000,000 for mosquito 
     and other pest abatement activities in states affected by the 
     Gulf Coast hurricanes of 2005. The Senate bill proposed 
     $20,000,000 and the House did not propose a similar 
     provision. The conferees intend that these funds be 
     distributed as grants to the eligible states and not be 
     subject to the provisions of the Mosquito Abatement for 
     Safety and Health (MASH) Act.

                        Office of the Secretary


                      OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL

       The conference agreement does not include a provision 
     proposed by the Senate that provided $2,669,846 to the 
     Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Inspector 
     General, for hurricane-related expenses. The House bill did 
     not include a similar provision.

                        DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION

                        Departmental Management


                    OFFICE OF THE INSPECTOR GENERAL

       The conference agreement does not include a provision 
     proposed by the Senate that provided $1,500,000 to the 
     Department of Education, Office of Inspector General, for 
     hurricane-related expenses. The House bill did not include a 
     similar provision.


                      HURRICANE EDUCATION RECOVERY

       The conference agreement includes $235,000,000 in 
     additional assistance for displaced elementary and secondary 
     school students for the 2005-2006 school year under the

     House bill contained no similar provision and the Senate bill 
     included $30,000,000 for a similar purpose. The conferees 
     request that the Department brief the House and Senate 
     Committees on Appropriations not later than five days before 
     the announcement of the availability of these funds.

                      Departmental Administration


                      construction, major projects

         The conferees agree to provide $585,919,000 for 
     Construction, Major Projects, instead of $550,000,000 as 
     proposed by the House and $623,000,000 as proposed by the 
     Senate. The conferees agree that the funding provided 
     includes $550,000,000 for construction of a medical facility 
     in New Orleans, Louisiana. In addition, $35,919,000 is 
     provided for debris removal and environmental clean-up of the 
     former Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center in 
     Gulfport, Mississippi, and for any authorized purpose within 
     this account.
       In a report issued to Congress on February 28, 2006, the 
     Department of Veterans Affairs identified its preference to 
     rebuild the medical center in New Orleans as a ``shared 
     facility'' with its academic partners. The conferees are 
     supportive of this effort and encourage the Department to 
     continue to work with its affiliates to develop the shared 
     facility concept. However, the conferees caution the 
     Department not to enter into any agreement in which it pays 
     for more than its share in the name of collaboration.

                             RELATED AGENCY

                      Armed Forces Retirement Home

       The conferees agree to provide $176,000,000 for 
     construction of a new facility in Gulfport, Mississippi, as 
     proposed by the Senate. The House bill contained no similar 
     provision. The conferees note that cost estimates provided in 
     a report to Congress on February 28, 2006, included 
     significant expenses which should not be incurred for 
     construction of a facility of this type and have adjusted the 
     funding accordingly. The conferees have also included a 
     general provision which consolidates $64,700,000 of 
     previously appropriated funding which is to be used for this 
     construction project. The conferees believe that the total 
     funding available is sufficient to build a new replacement 
     facility, fully compliant with all relevant laws, 
     regulations, and standards for a retirement domicile, on the 
     existing site in Gulfport, Mississippi.

                    GENERAL PROVISIONS--THIS CHAPTER


              (including rescission and transfer of funds)

       The conferees agree to include a provision (Sec. 2701), as 
     proposed by the Senate, to waive a Federal funding limit on 
     Guard and Reserve military construction projects appropriated 
     in this chapter. The House bill contained no similar 
     provision.
       The conferees agree to include a provision (Sec. 2702), as 
     proposed by the Senate, which allows funds previously 
     appropriated for the Department of Veterans Affairs, Medical 
     Services account, to be transferred to other accounts upon 
     notification to the Committees on Appropriations of both 
     Houses of Congress. The provision also extends the 
     availability of the funds beyond the current fiscal year. The 
     House bill contained no similar provision.
       The conferees agree to include a provision (Sec. 2703), as 
     proposed by the Senate, which directs the Secretary of the 
     Department of Veterans Affairs to clean up and transfer 
     property in Gulfport, Mississippi, to the city of Gulfport, 
     Mississippi. The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The conferees have not included a provision, as proposed by 
     the Senate, which would authorize site acquisition and 
     construction of medical facilities in New Orleans, Louisiana, 
     and Biloxi, Mississippi. The House bill contained no similar 
     provision.
       The conferees agree to include a provision (Sec. 2704) 
     which consolidates unobligated balances of the Armed Forces 
     Retirement Home, to be used for the planning, design, and 
     construction of a new facility in Gulfport, Mississippi, as 
     proposed by the Senate. The conferees have modified the 
     Senate proviso to this provision which designates the General 
     Services Administration, in consultation with the Naval 
     Facilities Engineering Command and the Armed Forces 
     Retirement Home, as the agent for all matters with regard to 
     planning, design, construction, and contract administration. 
     The House bill contained no similar provision.

                               CHAPTER 8

                         DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

                            Legal Activities


            salaries and expenses, general legal activities

       The conference agreement provides $2,000,000 for General 
     Legal Activities, as proposed by the House instead of 
     $3,200,000 as proposed by the Senate. Funding is provided for 
     the Criminal Division and Civil Division for expenses to 
     investigate and prosecute fraud cases related to hurricanes 
     in the Gulf Coast region.


             salaries and expenses, united states attorneys

       The conference agreement provides $6,500,000 for United 
     States Attorneys as proposed by the Senate instead of 
     $5,000,000 as proposed by the House. Funding is provided for 
     expenses to investigate and prosecute fraud cases related to 
     hurricanes in the Gulf Coast region.

                         DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE

            National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration


                  Operations, Research, and Facilities

       The conference agreement provides $118,000,000 under this 
     heading, instead of no funding as proposed by the House and 
     $1,135,000,000 as proposed by the Senate. In addition to the 
     amount provided under this heading, language is included in 
     chapter one of this title to transfer $38,000,000 from the 
     United States Department of Agriculture to NOAA for 
     reseeding, rehabilitation and restoration of oyster reefs.
       The conferees remain concerned about the ongoing recovery 
     efforts in the Gulf of Mexico and the previous lack of 
     attention given to the critical need for mapping the Gulf 
     waters for debris removal. In the wake of the

[[Page H3623]]

     numerous hurricanes of 2005, which greatly disrupted the 
     water in the Gulf of Mexico, all previous mappings of those 
     waters are now inaccurate. To date the only areas within the 
     Gulf of Mexico that have been remapped are the vessel 
     channels to allow for safe passage of ships traveling through 
     the many ports along the Gulf. The remainder of the Gulf of 
     Mexico must also be mapped beginning with traditional fishing 
     grounds in order to remove debris and begin the process of 
     surveying stocks and reestablishing this element of the 
     economy. Mapping and debris removal is a critical safety and 
     security precaution necessary to prevent catastrophic 
     accidents from occurring during the upcoming fishing and 
     boating season.
       The conference agreement provides $20,000,000 for the 
     Office of Coast Survey to conduct scanning and mapping and 
     coordinate with the Office of Response and Restoration for 
     marine debris removal; $2,000,000 for the Center for 
     Operational Oceanographic Products and Services to establish 
     Physical Oceanographic Real-Time Systems along the Gulf of 
     Mexico; $1,000,000 for the Center for Operational 
     Oceanographic Products and Services to repair and replace 
     tide gauge stations in the northern Gulf of Mexico; 
     $90,000,000 for the National Marine Fisheries Service to 
     provide technical assistance to States and industry for 
     oyster bed and shrimp ground rehabilitation and to undertake 
     cooperative research to monitor the recovery of Gulf 
     fisheries; and not to exceed $5,000,000 to assist fishermen 
     to recover from severe economic impacts due to fisheries 
     disasters declared in 2005.


               Procurement, Acquisition and Construction

       The conference agreement provides $32,000,000 under this 
     heading as proposed by the Senate, instead of $11,800,000 as 
     proposed by the House.
       The conference agreement provides $20,000,000 for the 
     National Marine Fisheries Service to complete the repair and 
     reconstruction of the NOAA science center.
       The conference agreement also provides $12,000,000 for the 
     Office of Marine and Aviation Operations to procure a 
     replacement emergency response mapping aircraft and sensor 
     package to continue NOAA's capability to provide information 
     about hurricane damage.

                        Exploration Capabilities

       The conference agreement provides $35,000,000 for repair 
     and rehabilitation requirements at the Stennis Space Center 
     and the Michoud Assembly Facility related to the consequences 
     of hurricanes of the 2005 season.

                     Small Business Administration


                     disaster loans program account

                     (Including Transfer of Funds)

       The conference agreement provides $542,000,000 for 
     additional lending authority for the Small Business 
     Administration's (SBA) disaster loan program, as proposed by 
     the House and the Senate (excluding a transfer provision 
     contained in both bills).
       The conferees remain concerned about fluctuations in SBA's 
     disaster lending subsidy estimates and will continue to 
     monitor lending activity and expenditures. The conferees 
     expect the SBA to provide weekly reports to the House and 
     Senate Committees on Appropriations, the Senate Committee on 
     Small Business and Entrepreneurship, and the House Committee 
     on Small Business containing the following information on all 
     open disaster declarations: number of loan applications 
     received; number and amount of loans approved, denied, and 
     disbursed; loan subsidy obligations; and the costs associated 
     with administering the loan program (including salaries, 
     travel, and information systems).
       In light of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric 
     Administration's prediction of a very active hurricane season 
     for 2006, the conferees expect the SBA to build on the 
     lessons learned from responding to numerous hurricanes during 
     the 2005 season to ensure that the agency is better prepared 
     for future disasters. The conferees expect that, no later 
     than July 15, 2006, SBA shall submit to the House and Senate 
     Committees on Appropriations, the Senate Committee on Small 
     Business and Entrepreneurship, and the House Committee on 
     Small Business a report on the status of the disaster 
     response plan for the 2006 Atlantic hurricane season.

                               CHAPTER 9

                      DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

                        Office of the Secretary

       The conferees agree to House and Senate language preventing 
     the Secretary from issuing a final rule regarding foreign 
     control of U.S. airlines for 120 days.

                     Federal Highway Administration


                          federal-aid highways

                        emergency relief program

       The conferees agree to provide $702,362,500 for the 
     Emergency Relief Program, instead of $594,000,000 as proposed 
     by the Senate. The conferees direct that funds shall be used 
     for eligible projects identified under ``Formal Requests'' in 
     the Federal Highway Administration table entitled ``Emergency 
     Relief Program Fund Requests Requests--updated 06/06/06'' 
     with the exception of projects addressed in other provisions 
     of this Act making amendments to Public Law 109-148 and 
     otherwise funded in other appropriations Acts. The conferees 
     include language that waives the $100,000,000 per State per 
     disaster cap for damages caused by Hurricane Dennis and by 
     the 2004-2005 winter storms in the State of California and 
     provides that any excess amounts may be used for other 
     eligible projects.


                          (highway trust fund)

                              (rescission)

       The conference agreement includes a rescission of 
     $702,362,500 of the unobligated balances of funds apportioned 
     to the states under chapter 1 of title 23, United States 
     Code, excluding safety programs and funds set aside within 
     the state for population areas. The conferees direct the FHWA 
     to administer the rescission by allowing each state maximum 
     flexibility in making adjustments among the apportioned 
     highway programs.

                     Federal Transit Administration


             emergency assistance for public transportation

       The conference agreement does not include $200,000,000 for 
     emergency assistance for public transportation, as proposed 
     by the Senate. The conference agreement includes provisions 
     proposed by the Senate waiving the state funding match 
     requirement and allowing funds to be used for operations as a 
     general provision. The conferees did not agree to include a 
     provision waiving other grant requirements as proposed by the 
     Senate. The House did not include funds or recommend waivers.
       The conferees note that the City of Baton Rouge has 
     absorbed a very large number of citizens as a result of 
     Hurricane Katrina resulting in a significant boost in the 
     demand for transit services. The conferees recognize the 
     community of Baton Rouge as having been directly impacted by 
     Hurricane Katrina for the purpose of these transit waivers.

                    Federal Railroad Administration


                capital grants for rail line relocation

       The conferees do not agree to provide $700,000,000 for 
     capital grants for rail line relocation or make other 
     amendments to title 49, United States Code, as proposed by 
     the Senate.


                   railroad research and development

       The conferees agree to report language, as proposed by the 
     Senate, expecting that funds previously appropriated for the 
     Deployment of Safety Overlay Technology shall be allocated 
     for the purpose of deploying train control technology for 
     which the Federal Railroad Administration is currently 
     considering a product safety plan.

              DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT

                       Public and Indian Housing


                     tenant-based rental assistance

       The conferees do not agree to provide $202,000,000, for 
     Tenant-Based Rental Assistance, as proposed by the Senate. 
     The conferees agree to report language, as proposed by the 
     Senate, directing HUD to report within 180 days on the 
     States' efforts to address the needs of the disabled, 
     elderly, and homeless.

                   Community Planning and Development


                       community development fund

                     (including transfer of funds)

       The conference agreement provides $5,200,000,000 for the 
     Community Development Fund, as proposed by the Senate, 
     instead of $4,200,000,000 as proposed by the House. The 
     conferees agree that no state shall receive more than 
     $4,200,000,000. The conferees further agree that not less 
     than $1,000,000,000 shall be available on a pro-rata basis 
     for the repair, rehabilitation, and reconstruction of 
     affordable rental housing.
       The conferees agree that of this amount, $12,000,000 is 
     available for transfer to HUD's salaries and expenses 
     account, of which $7,000,000 is for the administrative costs, 
     including IT costs, of the KDHAP/DVP voucher program. The 
     Senate proposed funds for this purpose under the Tenant-Based 
     Rental Assistance account. The conferees agree that 
     $9,000,000 is available for transfer to the Office of 
     Inspector General. In addition, the conferees agree to 
     transfer $6,000,000 to HUD's Working Capital Fund for the 
     immediate enhancement of the capabilities of the Disaster 
     Recovery Grant Reporting system by building additional 
     electronic controls that will increase accountability while 
     further decreasing the risk of fraud, waste, or abuse.
       The conferees retain language as proposed by both the House 
     and Senate, prohibiting the use of these funds by a State or 
     locality as a matching requirement, share, or contribution 
     for any other Federal program.
       The conferees are aware that individuals with disabilities 
     face unique challenges in finding accessible and affordable 
     housing. As such, the conferees urge the states to work with 
     HUD and the disabled community to ensure that these 
     challenges are considered when states are developing and 
     implementing Disaster Action plans. The conferees also urge 
     HUD to take the necessary steps to inform the disabled 
     community about the eligible uses of CDBG funding in 
     addressing their needs.

                          INDEPENDENT AGENCIES

                     Election Assistance Commission


                          ELECTION ASSISTANCE

       The conferees do not agree to provide $30,000,000 for the 
     Election Assistance Commission, as proposed by the Senate.

                    General Services Administration


                         FEDERAL BUILDINGS FUND

       The conferees agree to provide $37,000,000 for the Federal 
     Buildings Fund, as proposed by both the House and Senate.

         TITLE III--EMERGENCY AGRICULTURAL DISASTER ASSISTANCE

       The conference agreement provides a total of $500,000,000 
     for emergency agricultural disaster assistance instead of 
     $3,944,000,000 as proposed by the Senate. This assistance is 
     targeted to counties located in the geographic area covered 
     by a disaster declaration related to hurricanes Katrina, 
     Ophelia, Rita, Wilma, or a related condition. In addition, 
     counties that are contiguous to hurricane disaster counties 
     are eligible for this assistance.
       The conferees expect the Department of Agriculture to work 
     with eligible individuals and entities to make payments under 
     the authority of this Act, or from section 32 pursuant to the 
     Secretary's May 10, 2006, announcement. The conferees 
     encourage the Department to ensure that individuals or 
     entities receive the higher benefit for which they are 
     eligible.
       Section 3011 of the conference agreement provides 
     $40,000,000 to make assistance available to producers/
     processors of sugarcane in Florida that are located in 
     hurricane affected counties and are eligible to obtain a loan 
     under section 156(a) of the Federal Agriculture Improvement 
     and Reform Act of 1996. This section also provides 
     $40,000,000 to make assistance available to producers/
     processors of sugarcane in Louisiana that are located in 
     hurricane affected counties and are eligible to obtain a loan 
     under section 156(a) of the Federal Agriculture Improvement 
     and Reform Act of 1996. In addition, this section provides 
     $400,000 to provide assistance for hurricane losses for a 
     farmer-owned sugarcane cooperative in Texas, including 
     additional demurrage, storage and transportation costs of raw 
     sugar resulting from hurricanes and related conditions during 
     calendar year 2005.
       Section 3012 of the conference agreement provides 
     $95,000,000 for the Livestock Compensation Program, and 
     $45,000,000 for the Livestock Indemnity Program. This section 
     allows poultry and egg producers to receive assistance under 
     this program. The conference agreement includes language that 
     requires that all eligible applicants conduct an agricultural 
     operation that is physically located in a hurricane-affected 
     county.
       Section 3013 of the conference agreement provides 
     $95,000,000 to provide assistance to specialty crops and 
     nursery crops in hurricane affected counties. This assistance 
     shall be carried out under the same terms and conditions as 
     the assistance that was provided in certain areas of Florida 
     due to hurricanes Charley, Frances, and Jeanne.
       Section 3014 of the conference agreement provides 
     $17,000,000 to assist dairy producers who experienced 
     spoilage losses and are located in hurricane-affected 
     counties.
       Section 3015 of the conference agreement provides 
     $15,000,000 to assist producers and first-handlers of the 
     2005 crop of cottonseed. The conference agreement includes 
     language requiring that all eligible applicants must be 
     located in hurricane-affected counties.
       Section 3021 provides a definition for the term ``tree'', 
     and directs that the Secretary provide assistance under the 
     tree assistance program established under sections 10201-
     10203 of the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002. 
     The conference agreement includes language requiring that all 
     eligible applicants must be located in hurricane-affected 
     counties. The estimated cost for this provision is 
     $35,000,000.
       Section 3022 provides an additional $100,000,000 for the 
     Emergency Forestry Conservation Reserve Program for recovery 
     efforts in hurricane-affected counties.
       Section 3023 of the conference agreement includes language 
     to provide clarification to the Secretary on the 
     implementation of the Emergency Forestry Conservation Reserve 
     Program.
       Section 3031 provides $9,600,000 to cover administrative 
     costs incurred by the Farm Service Agency directly related to 
     carrying out disaster assistance.
       Section 3032 provides flexibility for the implementation of 
     section 32 funds that were announced by the Department of 
     Agriculture on May 10, 2006 for aquaculture producer grants. 
     The estimated cost for this provision is $8,000,000.
       Section 3033 designates the funds made available in this 
     title as an emergency.
       Section 3034 includes provisions waiving certain rulemaking 
     procedures and paperwork reduction requirements.
       While the assistance provided by this title is limited to 
     producers in areas affected by Gulf Coast hurricanes in 2005, 
     the conferees fully recognize the losses suffered by farmers, 
     ranchers, and rural communities in all parts of the nation. 
     At such time as may be reasonably determined by the 
     Secretary, the conferees direct the Department to apply any 
     unused funds from this title, and any unused funds from the 
     May 10, 2006 announcement (71 Fed. Reg. 27188) relating to 
     2005 Section 32 Hurricane Disaster Programs to respond to 
     disaster-related events including wildfires in Texas and 
     other states, drought, flooding in Hawaii and other states, 
     and other natural disasters.

                         TITLE IV--PANDEMIC FLU

                DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

                        Office of the Secretary


            public health and social services emergency fund

                     (including transfer of funds)

       The conference agreement provides $2,300,000,000 to prepare 
     for and respond to an influenza pandemic, the same overall 
     funding level as proposed by the Senate. The House bill did 
     not include a similar provision.
       The conference agreement includes provisions proposed by 
     the Senate giving the Secretary various authorities to 
     purchase goods for the stockpile, enter into contracts for 
     antivirals, construct or renovate privately-owned buildings, 
     and transfer funds to other HHS accounts.
       Within the total provided, the conference agreement 
     includes $30,000,000 to be transferred to the United States 
     Agency for International Development (USAID) for activities 
     related to international surveillance, planning, 
     preparedness, and response to the avian influenza virus. 
     Neither the House nor the Senate included a similar 
     provision.
       The conferees intend that all federally-funded 
     international surveillance, preparedness, and response 
     activities be planned and implemented in a coordinated manner 
     to maximize the chances of early detection of potential 
     pandemics. The conferees expect HHS, the Centers for Disease 
     Control and Prevention (CDC), and USAID officials to 
     coordinate their international pandemic-related activities at 
     all levels by maintaining frequent contacts at the senior 
     leadership, program management, and on-the-ground personnel 
     levels. The conferees direct HHS and USAID to submit a joint 
     report to the appropriate House and Senate Appropriations 
     subcommittees, within six months of enactment, which details 
     their international surveillance, preparedness, and response 
     activities and describes the manner in which they have been 
     coordinated.
       Within the total provided, the conferees have set aside 
     $250,000,000 for state and local preparedness activities. The 
     Senate included $300,000,000 for state and local capacity and 
     the House did not include a similar provision. The conferees 
     recognize that state and local public health departments play 
     essential roles in responding to influenza outbreaks, 
     including implementation of necessary epidemic containment 
     measures, provision of services to homebound and disabled 
     populations, distribution and redistribution of available 
     antiviral medications and vaccines to high priority 
     populations, and coordination with all other local medical 
     and emergency response authorities. Therefore, the conferees 
     encourage the Department to assure that distribution of 
     pandemic influenza funds and all aspects of Federal pandemic 
     influenza planning are consistent with operational realities 
     at the local level and will have the intended public health 
     results when implemented locally. The conferees further urge 
     the Department to assure that all aspects of its pandemic 
     influenza planning and preparations avoid duplication and 
     inconsistency with other Federal directives affecting public 
     health preparedness.
       The conferees understand that State and local public health 
     officials must be prepared to coordinate large-scale 
     vaccination efforts in the case of a pandemic influenza 
     outbreak. Therefore, the conferees encourage State and local 
     public health departments to conduct local mass immunization 
     exercises using seasonal flu vaccine.
       Within the funds provided for upgrading state and local 
     capacity, funds may be used for regional training meetings 
     bringing together several states. These funds may also be 
     used, if determined necessary by the director of CDC, to 
     enhance flu program planning efforts and the existing 
     preparedness training network at the established CDC centers 
     for public health preparedness and other accredited schools 
     of public health.
       Within the total provided, the conference agreement 
     includes $200,000,000 for CDC. These funds are intended to 
     augment the fiscal year 2006 appropriation and expand and 
     enhance on-going activities related to global and domestic 
     disease surveillance, laboratory capacity and research, 
     laboratory diagnostics, risk communication, rapid response, 
     and quarantine. The Senate proposed a total of $250,000,000 
     for these activities within CDC, but included two separate 
     provisos. The House did not include a similar provision.
       The conference agreement does not include $5,000,000 as 
     proposed by the Senate for the Smithsonian Institution to 
     carry out domestic disease surveillance. The House did not 
     include a similar provision.
       The conferees are aware of the Department's plan to 
     subsidize ``up to'' 25 percent of the cost of 31,000,000 
     courses of anti-virals. The conferees note that the bill 
     language authorizing this subsidy is flexible and does not 
     require, nor limit, the amount of the subsidy. The conferees 
     encourage the Secretary to consider subsidizing these 
     purchases beyond 25 percent for States whose finances have 
     been severely affected by Hurricane Katrina and other 
     hurricanes of the 2005 season. The conferees believe that 
     access to life-saving drugs should be based on public health 
     need, not the finances of the State in which an individual 
     resides.


       funding for pandemic influenza vaccine injury compensation

       The conference agreement does not include $289,000,000 for 
     a pandemic influenza vaccine compensation fund as proposed by 
     the Senate. The House did not propose a similar provision.

                       Border Security Initiative

       The conference agreement recommends $708,000,000, instead

     Department of Defense to fund the incremental military 
     personnel and operation and maintenance costs of deploying up 
     to 6,000 National Guard personnel to the U.S. border for one 
     year in support of the Department of Homeland Security.
       The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to provide a 
     report to the congressional defense committees within 30 days 
     after the end of each fiscal quarter detailing the transfers 
     of funds provided in this chapter until funds provided in 
     this chapter are no longer available for transfer. The 
     conferees direct that the report shall include: a detailed 
     accounting of obligations and expenditures of appropriations 
     to which funds are transferred by appropriation account, 
     program, and subactivity group; and a listing of equipment 
     procured using funds provided in this chapter.

                    GENERAL PROVISIONS--THIS CHAPTER

       The conference agreement deletes a provision, as proposed 
     by the Senate, which reduced funds for Department of 
     Defense--Military in this Act by $1,908,000,000.

                               CHAPTER 2

                    DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

       The conferees agree to provide $1,172,000,000 for border 
     security and immigration enforcement programs within the 
     Department of Homeland Security as requested by the President 
     on May 18, 2006, instead of $1,900,000,000 as proposed by the 
     Senate and no funds as proposed by the House. Funds are 
     available until September 30, 2007.

                               CHAPTER 3

                         DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

                         General Administration

                   Administrative Review and Appeals

       The conference agreement provides $9,000,000 for 
     Administrative Review and Appeals, Executive Office of 
     Immigration Review to meet additional caseload requirements 
     resulting from increased border enforcement efforts of the 
     Department of Homeland Security.

                            Legal Activities


            Salaries and Expenses, General Legal Activities

       The conference agreement provides $9,000,000 for the Civil 
     Division's Office of Immigration Litigation to meet 
     additional caseload requirements resulting from increased 
     border enforcement efforts of the Department of Homeland 
     Security.


             Salaries and Expenses, United States Attorneys

       The conference agreement provides $2,000,000 for United 
     States Attorneys to prosecute additional cases in support of 
     increased border enforcement efforts of the Department of 
     Homeland Security.

                       PORT SECURITY ENHANCEMENTS

       The conferees do not include supplemental appropriations 
     totaling $648,050,000 for port security enhancements as 
     proposed by the Senate. The House proposed no similar 
     funding.

                                TITLE VI

                           LEGISLATIVE BRANCH

                        Architect of the Capitol


                          CAPITOL POWER PLANT

       The conference agreement includes $27,600,000, to remain 
     available until September 30, 2011, for the Architect of the 
     Capitol, Capitol Power Plant, to make improvements in the 
     utility steam tunnels, as proposed by the Senate.

        TITLE VII--GENERAL PROVISIONS AND TECHNICAL CORRECTIONS

       The conference agreement includes section 7001 regarding 
     the availability of funds in this Act. The House proposed 
     identical language as section 3001, and the Senate proposed 
     identical language as section 9001.
       Sec. 7002. The conference agreement includes a provision 
     for Department of Defense--Military, as proposed by the House 
     and Senate, concerning funds for intelligence related 
     activities.
       Sec. 7003. The conference agreement includes a provision 
     for Department of Defense--Military, as proposed by the 
     Senate, which makes a technical correction to section 8044 of 
     the fiscal year 2006 Department of Defense Appropriations Act 
     concerning the Office of Economic Adjustment.
       The conference agreement does not include a provision for 
     Department of Defense--Military, as proposed by the Senate, 
     concerning mortuary affairs. The conferees have been advised 
     that the Armed Services Committees in the House and Senate 
     plan to address the Department of Defense mortuary affairs 
     procedures in the fiscal year 2007 National Defense 
     Authorization Act. The conferees encourage the Department to 
     complete a thorough review of procedures to preserve and 
     expeditiously return the bodies of American military 
     casualties to their families and loved ones. Further, the 
     conferees encourage the Department to continue to improve 
     casualty assistance procedures in support of survivors of 
     military decedents.
       Sec. 7004. The conferees agree to rescind $20,000,000 from 
     lapsed fiscal year 2005 balances, instead of $43,620,000 from 
     unobligated balances available in the Immigration and Customs 
     Enforcement Automation Modernization account as proposed by 
     the House and no rescission as proposed by the Senate. The 
     conferees direct the Secretary of the Department of Homeland 
     Security to report to the Committees on Appropriations of the 
     Senate and House of Representatives within fifteen days after 
     enactment of this Act on the proposed distribution of the 
     rescission of funds prior to its implementation pursuant to 
     section 504 of Public Law 108-334. This report should 
     specifically list the respective amount proposed to be 
     rescinded by agency and appropriations account, and explain 
     the original purpose of the appropriation and the reason why 
     such funds are available.
       The conferees agree to provide $20,000,000 for United 
     States Secret Service Salaries and Expenses, instead of 
     $43,620,000 as proposed by the House and no appropriation as 
     proposed by the Senate. Of this total, $18,000,000 is 
     provided to restore a shortfall in overtime expenses, and 
     $2,000,000 is provided for the purchase of critical 
     equipment.
       Sec. 7005. The conferees agree to rescind $3,960,000 from 
     Office of Screening Coordination and Operations and 
     reappropriate these funds to the Office of Policy within the 
     Office of the Secretary and Executive Management, as proposed 
     by the Senate. The House bill had no comparable provision.
       Sec. 7006. The conferees agree to strike Section 528 of 
     Public Law 109-90.
       Section 7007 extends the authority for collection of fees, 
     under the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977, 
     through September 30, 2007, as proposed in section 9016 of 
     the Senate bill. These fees are paid by coal producers and 
     are subsequently appropriated for reclamation of abandoned 
     mines.
       The conference agreement does not include language, 
     proposed in section 9015 of the Senate bill, providing an 
     additional $500,000 to the U.S. Geological Survey for 
     assistance with assessments of critical reservoirs and dams.

       The conference agreement does not include a provision 
     proposed by the House that permitted the allocation of 
     emergency funds provided under section 9001(a)(2) of the

       The conference agreement deletes without prejudice language 
     proposed by the Senate to prohibit the implementation of

     Section 102 of Public Law 109-149 retaining in the Job Corps 
     those program functions previously administered by the Job 
     Corps prior to the transfer and to ensure the support 
     necessary for oversight and management responsibilities.
       The conferees further expect that, although the Office of 
     Assistant Secretary for Administration and Management will 
     oversee the procurement process, this arrangement shall not 
     alter the existing authorities, duties, or activities of Job 
     Corps as it existed prior to the transfer. The Office of Job 
     Corps and the Assistant Secretary for Administration and 
     Management are directed to maintain controls to assure the 
     procurement activities are completely separate from program 
     operations. Further, the Department is directed to report to 
     the Committees on Appropriations in the House and Senate by 
     August 30, 2006 on steps necessary to establish a unified 
     chief procurement officer with responsibilities for all 
     procurement activities in the Department. The report shall 
     include the comments and recommendations of the Department's 
     Inspector General.

     enforcement. The House had no similar provision. Funds are 
     designated as emergency and are made available for two years. 
     The conferees instruct the Department to include a plan for 
     the allocation of funds in the first report to the House and 
     Senate Committees on Appropriation and the House and Senate 
     authorizing committees, due on July 15, 2006.

     limiting compensation from federal funds to a rate not 
     greater than Executive Level II for any recipient or 
     subrecipient receiving funds under the heading, ``Employment 
     and Training Administration'', similar to a provision 
     proposed by the Senate. The House had no similar provision. 
     The provision has been modified to include prior year funds 
     that have yet to be expended.
