                               DIVISION A

             DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE APPROPRIATIONS ACT, 2007

       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. 5631), making 
     appropriations for the Department of Defense for the fiscal 
     year ending September 30, 2007, 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, 2007, incorporates some of the provisions 
     of the House and Senate versions of the bill. Additional 
     items in the Senate bill are expected to be addressed in the 
     Military Construction, Military Quality of Life and Veterans 
     Affairs Appropriations Act, 2007. The language and 
     allocations set forth in House Report 109-504 and Senate 
     Report 109-292 (as they apply to the programs, projects, and 
     activities contained in the accompanying conference report) 
     should be complied with unless specifically addressed in the 
     accompanying conference report and statement of managers to 
     the contrary.
       The Senate amendment deleted the entire House bill after 
     the enacting clause and inserted new language. The conference 
     agreement includes revised language.

              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, 2007, 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 2008, the conferees direct the Department of Defense to 
     transmit to the congressional defense committees budget 
     justification documents to be known 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 
     2008.

                            Classified Annex

       Adjustments to classified programs are addressed in the 
     classified annex accompanying this report.

              Reserve Component's Budget Structure Change

       The conferees agree to extend last year's test of a 
     consolidated budget structure for the Reserve Component's 
     military personnel accounts through fiscal year 2007. In 
     order to provide visibility of the movement of funds within 
     the accounts, the conferees direct each of the Reserve 
     Components to provide a quarterly report to the congressional 
     defense committees and the Government Accountability Office 
     (GAO) showing transfers between line items within the 
     military personnel appropriations. The report format will 
     provide separate explanations for all transfers in and out of 
     each appropriation line item that equal, exceed, or cumulate 
     to $5,000,000. Reports will provide a beginning and ending 
     total by line item and will be due 30 days following the end 
     of each quarter. Reserve Component fiscal year 2008 budget 
     requests for military personnel will be submitted using the 
     two budget activity structure.

                  Army National Guard Combat Brigades

       The conferees are concerned about the Department of 
     Defense's proposal to reduce 7 Army combat brigades from the 
     level assumed under previous plans. Most of the change would 
     occur in the Army National Guard's force structure plans; the 
     Guard would field 28 combat brigades instead of 34 proposed 
     previously. The conferees' review of this proposal indicates 
     that the National Guard will have difficulty meeting its 
     force generation and state security requirements with only 28 
     combat brigades. As the Department of the Army continues its 
     examination of combat brigade requirements, the conferees 
     strongly urge that this examination be conducted with the 
     full participation and cooperation of both active and Guard 
     officials at all levels. Moreover, the conferees will closely 
     follow this issue over the coming months and will seek to 
     ensure that sufficient funding is provided to field the 
     number of Guard combat brigades necessary to meet its force 
     generation and state security requirements. As such, the 
     conferees provide additional funding (described in other 
     sections, of this report) to fully fund the Army National 
     Guard authorized end strength level of 350,000 and to 
     purchase additional equipment.

                          Travel Expenditures

       The conferees wish to ensure that the Department of Defense 
     is making every effort to come into compliance with the 
     Improper Payments Act regarding travel expenditures. The 
     conferees note that the Department has invested significant 
     resources in the Defense Travel System (DTS), which should 
     enable the Department to reduce improper travel payments and 
     accurately report improper payments when they occur. The 
     conferees are concerned that the Department currently reports 
     improper payments on only a portion of its unclassified 
     budget. The conferees therefore direct the Government 
     Accountability Office to assess the reasons why the 
     Department is not fully in compliance with the Improper 
     Payments Act and make recommendations for measures the 
     Department can put in place to comply with the Act. The 
     report should be provided to the congressional defense 
     committees no later than May 31, 2007.

            Special Operations Combat Medic Training Program

       The conferees are concerned by a decision made by the 
     United States Army Special Operations Command (USASOC) to 
     abruptly terminate its partnership with one of three 
     facilities participating in the Special Operations Combat 
     Medic (SOCM) training program, notwithstanding recent 
     commendation for the facility's continued support of the 
     program. The conferees believe this decision may be unfounded 
     and hastily made without substantive justification. 
     Furthermore, it eliminates from the SOCM program the unique, 
     individualized, hands-on training offered by this facility. 
     The conferees believe this program has been critical to force 
     protection and is vital to war-fighters currently engaged in 
     hostile environments abroad. The conferees encourage USASOC 
     to continue the Special Operations Medic Training Program at 
     all three facilities, and to do so in a manner consistent 
     with the previous two fiscal years, so as to continue 
     providing our troops with capable and skilled Special 
     Operations medics.

                        Defense Security Service

       The conference agreement provides $8,000,000 above the 
     budget request for the Defense Security Service (DSS) to 
     assist in the timely processing of industry Personnel 
     Security Investigations. The conferees expect the Department 
     of Defense to resolve the budgetary problems facing the DSS 
     and to report to the congressional defense committees on 
     plans to more accurately build future DSS budget submissions 
     not later than 90 days after enactment of this Act.

       Depleted Uranium Sensing and Treatment for Removal Program

       The conferees understand depleted uranium is critical for 
     use in applications such as armor penetrators and armor 
     plates, providing a substantial performance advantage over 
     other materials. Depleted uranium, however, is a low-level 
     radioactive heavy metal and concerns exist about potential 
     health effects from its use in military operations. The 
     conferees appreciate Department of Defense efforts in 
     developing methods for depleted uranium contamination removal 
     and are aware of the Depleted Uranium Sensing and Treatment 
     for Removal program. The conferees direct the Department to 
     provide an assessment of the Depleted Uranium Sensing and 
     Treatment for Removal program to the congressional defense 
     committees no later than December 31, 2006, which addresses 
     current research and development efforts, progress to date 
     and merits of the program.

                               Thanks USA

       The ThanksUSA Program provides post-secondary scholarships 
     for the spouses and dependents of active duty military 
     personnel. The conferees believe this is a commendable model 
     of public-private partnerships and fully support the 
     educational and retention objectives of this program. The 
     conferees encourage ThanksUSA to continue to develop sources 
     of private and matching funding for this worthwhile cause to 
     ensure future scholarship availability for these deserving 
     military family members.

                             Oil Refineries

       When making public contract announcements regarding the 
     refining of fuel by U.S. companies, the U.S. Department of 
     Defense should not provide the name of the country for which 
     the fuel is being refined or the location of the facility 
     that will refine the fuel.

              Personnel Identification and Authentication

       The conferees recognize the criticality of controlling 
     access to our military installations. It is imperative for 
     force protection and the security of our facilities that only 
     those individuals with legitimate need and proper 
     identification should gain access to installations. The 
     conferees are aware of various initiatives across the 
     Department of Defense to employ systems that provide for 
     authentication of identification credentials at installation 
     gates. Such systems have been developed by both the private 
     sector and DoD components. In order to ensure that the 
     Department takes a coherent approach that delivers best value 
     solutions for this important force protection role, the 
     conferees expect DoD and the services to develop a 
     comprehensive set of requirements to use as the basis for 
     full and open competition.

                          Air Defense Mission

       The conferees support having the 144th Fighter Wing of the 
     Air National Guard perform the air defense mission over the 
     southwestern sector of the United States and the Air Defense 
     Main Operating Base located in Fresno, California. The 
     conferees understand that this is the only dedicated air 
     defense fighter wing in the southwest and that the Air Force 
     has no replacement aircraft scheduled for the 144th Fighter 
     Wing after fiscal year 2012. The conferees direct the 
     Secretary of the Air Force to submit a report to the 
     congressional defense committees outlining a plan for an air 
     defense mission that continues this capability for the 144th 
     Fighter Wing using the Air Defense Main Operating Base in 
     Fresno beyond fiscal year 2012.

          UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE ARMED FORCES

       The conference agreement provides $11,721,000 for the 
     United States Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces.

             OVERSEAS HUMANITARIAN, DISASTER, AND CIVIC AID

       The conference agreement provides $63,204,000 for Overseas 
     Humanitarian, Disaster, and Civic Aid.

              FORMER SOVIET UNION THREAT REDUCTION ACCOUNT

       The conference agreement provides $372,128,000 for the 
     Former Soviet Union Threat Reduction Account.

                         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, specifically 
     addressed in the conference report. These items remain 
     special interest items whether or not they are repeated in a 
     subsequent conference report.

            Reprogramming Guidance for Acquisition Accounts

       The conferees direct the Department of Defense to continue 
     to follow the reprogramming guidance specified in the report 
     accompanying the House version of the fiscal year 2006 
     Department of Defense Appropriations bill (H.R. 109-119). 
     Specifically, the dollar threshold for reprogramming funds 
     will remain at $20,000,000 for procurement, and $10,000,000 
     for research, development, test and evaluation. The 
     Department shall continue to follow the limitation that prior 
     approval reprogrammings are set at either the specified 
     dollar threshold or 20% of the procurement or research, 
     development, test and evaluation line, whichever is less. 
     These thresholds are cumulative. Therefore, if the combined 
     value of transfers into or out of a procurement (P-l) or 
     research, development, test and evaluation (R-l) line exceeds 
     the identified threshold, the Department of Defense must 
     submit a prior approval reprogramming to the congressional 
     defense committees. In addition, guidelines on the 
     application of prior approval reprogramming procedures for 
     congressional special interest items are established 
     elsewhere in this report.

                  Reprogramming Reporting Requirements

       The conferees direct the Under Secretary of the Department 
     of Defense, Comptroller, to continue to provide the 
     congressional defense committees quarterly, spreadsheet-based 
     DDl416 reports for service and defense-wide accounts in 
     titles III and IV of this Act as required in the statement of 
     the managers accompanying the Conference report on the 
     Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2006.

                           Funding Increases

       The conferees direct that the funding increases outlined in 
     these tables shall be provided only for the specific purposes 
     indicated in the table.

                       National Guard Procurement

       The conferees agree that there is a substantial shortfall 
     in equipment stocks for the National Guard, and that this 
     shortfall is detrimental to Guard units being able to meet 
     their dual-role mission of supplementing active duty forces 
     overseas as well as responding to emergencies at home. The 
     conferees are concerned that equipment budgeted annually for 
     the National Guard could be died to other budget areas and 
     nonReserve units, and therefore direct the Department of 
     Defense to submit to the congressional defense committees not 
     later than nine months after the enactment of this Act, a 
     report on how the Department has obligated funds and provided 
     the equipment designated for the National Guard in the budget 
     submission and accompanying justification materials.

             Container Roll In--Roll Out Platform (M3 CROP)

       The conferees strongly urge the Secretary of the Army to 
     allocate sufficient funding from amounts available under this 
     heading to ensure the continuation of the program to procure 
     the Container Roll In--Roll Out Platform (M3 CROP) in order 
     to expedite logistical support to the warfighter.

                            MK-46/MK-54 Mods

       The conferees agree to provide $85,905,000 for MK-46/MK-54 
     Mods. This is a reduction of $15,000,000 below the budget 
     request due to fluctuating procurement quantities. The 
     conferees understand that this funding will be sufficient to 
     procure 160 MK-54 torpedo kits. The conferees are concerned 
     about the inconsistent annual procurement quantities for this 
     important program over the current Future Years Defense Plan. 
     The conferees encourage the Navy to review this over the 
     coming year and consider a more consistent annual rate, to 
     provide manufacturing stability and lower unit costs.

                            DDG-1000 Program

       The conferees agree to provide $2,568,111,000 for the DDG-
     1000 (formerly DDX) Destroyer Program, and agree to delete 
     language proposed by the House requiring full funding of a 
     single lead ship. The effect of the conference agreement 
     would allow the Navy to split fund twin lead ships of the 
     DDG-1000 class, if authorized in separate legislation by the 
     Congress. This action is being taken based upon the 
     expectation that the total cost of these two ships is well 
     understood and low risk. The conferees are willing to make 
     this one-time exception to the full funding principle because 
     of the unique situation with the shipbuilding industrial base 
     and with the DDG-1000 program. The conferees will not 
     entertain future requests to fund ships other than under the 
     full funding principle, except for those historically funded 
     in this manner (aircraft carriers and some large deck 
     amphibious ships).
       The unusual procurement of twin lead ships raises the risk 
     that future design changes or production problems will impact 
     two ships under construction simultaneously. This could raise 
     costs significantly compared to other lead ship programs. 
     However, the Navy believes the cost and schedule risk in the 
     DDG-1000 program is low enough to permit the twin lead ship 
     acquisition strategy. The Navy has identified the total cost 
     to procure the twin lead ships of the DDG-1000 class as 
     $6,582,200,000. The conferees insist that the Navy manage 
     this program within that total cost, and will be unlikely to 
     increase funding through a reprogramming or an additional 
     budget request except in the case of emergency, natural 
     disaster, or other impact arising from outside the Navy's 
     shipbuilding program.

                            Ship Insulation

       The conferees understand that the insulation material 
     currently under consideration for use in future ships has not 
     been fully evaluated for safety. The conferees believe that 
     any new materials should be at least as safe as those 
     materials currently in use and recommend that insulating 
     materials that do not meet the weight, smoke generation, 
     toxicity and other safety criteria should not be used in ship 
     construction.

             Completion of Prior Year Shipbuilding Programs

       The conference agreement provides $512,849,000 for the 
     completion of prior year shipbuilding programs. The reduction 
     of $65,000,000 from the budget estimate shall be allocated as 
     shown below:

                    Weapons Range Support Equipment

       The reduction of $1,665,000 in this program element deletes 
     funding for the East Coast Undersea Warfare Training Range 
     (USWTR). The House had proposed no funding for this project. 
     None of the reduction is to be allocated against the Southern 
     California ASW Range (SOAR) or the Barking Sands Underwater 
     Range Expansion (BSURE) projects. In addition, the conferees 
     direct that no fiscal year 2007 or prior year funding be 
     obligated for the East Coast USWTR project except for 
     activities directly associated with the National 
     Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process. The conferees 
     further direct the Navy to clearly identify funding for the 
     East Coast USWTR in future budget submissions.

                          Joint Strike Fighter

       The conference agreement provides $480,000,000 in Aircraft 
     Procurement, Air Force, for the procurement of 2 conventional 
     take-off and landing (CTOL) variant F-35 Joint Strike 
     Fighters in fiscal year 2007. In addition, $94,000,000 is 
     provided for advance procurement of 6 CTOL variants in fiscal 
     year 2008. The conference agreement also provides 
     $125,000,000 in Aircraft Procurement, Navy, for advance 
     procurement of 6 short take-off and vertical landing (STOVL) 
     variants. Combined, these quantities will allow F-35 
     production to continue to ramp up, but at a more modest rate 
     and with less program risk than the program requested by the 
     Department.

                        F-22A Raptor Procurement

       The conference agreement includes authority for a multiyear 
     procurement of 60 F-22A aircraft, beginning with 20 fully 
     funded aircraft in fiscal year 2007. The conferees anticipate 
     that the Department will budget for two subsequent lots of 20 
     aircraft in fiscal years 2008 and 2009. To enable this 
     strategy, $210,000,000 of additional funds provided by both 
     the House and the Senate were realigned from the F-22A budget 
     line to the F-22A Advance Procurement line to provide the 
     required funds for economic order quantity items, bringing 
     the total budget for Advance Procurement to $687,404,000. The 
     conferees expect that the Department of the Air Force will 
     continue to seek improved efficiencies in this program.

        F-15 Advanced Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) Radars

       The conference agreement provides $72,000,000 to procure 
     and install Advanced Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) 
     radars only for the Air National Guard F-15C fleet. The 
     Department of Defense is strongly encouraged to develop a 
     plan for keeping the F-15 inventory updated with current 
     technologies for its expected active service life.

              Minuteman III Propulsion Replacement Program

       The conference agreement provides $651,257,000 for 
     Minuteman III modifications, including modifications to 
     replace the missile propulsion system. The conferees disagree 
     with proposals to terminate the program after fiscal year 
     2007 and expect that the Department of Defense will budget 
     for the remaining requirements identified in the fiscal year 
     2007 budget justifications in the fiscal year 2008 budget 
     submission.

                    Global Positioning System (GPS)

       The budget request includes $97,182,000 in missile 
     procurement with an additional $43,259,000 in advance 
     procurement for GPS vehicles 16 through 18. The conferees 
     note that the GPS IIF program has been troubled by cost 
     growth and significant delays, and the Department of Defense 
     has chosen not to pursue vehicles 13 through 18. 
     Consequently, the conferees recommend $85,882,000 in missile 
     procurement and no funding in advance procurement, a 
     reduction of $11,300,000 and $43,259,000 respectively.
       The conferees share the Department's concerns regarding the 
     short-term risk associated with the current constellation, 
     and also the long-term risk of gaps in capability, especially 
     as the country moves toward a transition to the GPS III 
     system. The conferees note that, in general, on-orbit models 
     of GPS are living longer than expected. Accordingly, the 
     conferees believe that through proper constellation planning 
     and management, and launching based on constellation need 
     rather than on payload delivery, the Department can strike 
     the right balance between short and long-term risks with the 
     goal of maximizing constellation coverage. Therefore, the 
     conferees encourage the Department to use this strategy in 
     order to minimize risk and maximize coverage as it endeavors 
     to maintain the current constellation, complete the 
     development and fielding of the GPS IIF satellites, and 
     transition to the new GPS III satellites.

                Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle (EELV)

       The budget request includes $936,490,000 for EELV. The 
     conferees recommend $856,490,000, a reduction of $80,000,000, 
     and intend to monitor the balance between risk and return for 
     costs and activities associated with launch preparation and 
     capability. The conferees believe the Air Force should 
     challenge the national launch government and industry team to 
     develop and implement a strategy to eliminate unnecessary 
     practices and excessive costs while protecting the viability 
     of the program.
       Additionally, the conferees maintain interest in execution 
     of the acquisition strategy for the Buy-3 contract. The 
     conferees direct the Department of the Air Force to adopt 
     acquisition practices for space launch relative to the EELV 
     program that will maximize economic efficiencies through 
     fiscal year 2010. Further, the conferees support open 
     competition for launch services from qualified bidders. 
     Therefore, the conferees direct the Department to create, 
     adopt, and promote a set of criteria by which new entrants 
     might more readily qualify for the EELV program, including 
     opportunities to compete for demonstration launches, which 
     will facilitate competition and promote assured access.

                  National Guard and Reserve Equipment

  The conferees agree that National Guard and Reserve forces are 
integral to our efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan and play a critical 
role in our Nation's response to national disasters. The conferees are 
aware that the equipment needs of our Reserve Component forces far 
exceed the amounts provided in the budget request and agree to provide 
an additional $290,000,000 for miscellaneous equipment for ''National 
Guard and Reserve Equipment'' as identified above.

                       Items of Special Interest

  The conferees agree that the National Guard and Reserve equipment 
program shall be executed by the heads of the Guard and Reserve 
components with priority consideration for miscellaneous equipment 
appropriations given to the following items as identified in Senate 
Report 109-292: Mobile Approach Control System, Virtual Warrior 
Interactive Program, Block 42 F-16 Upgrades, Flex Train Combat 
Training, Battlefield Mobility Enhancers [MGators], M777A1 Lightweight 
l55mm Howitzers, Joint Threat Emitters, Line Haul Trucks, Thunder Radar 
Pod, Virtual Door Gunners, and Communications Equipment.

                    Defense Production Act Purchases

       The conferees agree to provide $63,184,000 for Defense 
     Production Act Purchases instead of $39,384,000 as proposed 
     by the House and $68,884,000 as proposed by the Senate.
       The conference agreement on items addressed by either the 
     House or the Senate is as follows:

[[Page H7168]]

     [GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TH25SE06.138
     


[[Page H7169]]

                         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, specifically 
     addressed in the conference report. These items remain 
     special interest items whether or not they are repeated in a 
     subsequent conference report.

            Reprogramming Guidance for Acquisition Accounts

       The conferees direct the Department of Defense to continue 
     to follow the reprogramming guidance specified in the report 
     accompanying the House version of the fiscal year 2006 
     Department of Defense Appropriations bill (H.R. 109-119). 
     Specifically, the dollar threshold for reprogramming funds 
     will remain at $20,000,000 for procurement, and $10,000,000 
     for research, development, test and evaluation. The 
     Department shall continue to follow the limitation that prior 
     approval reprogrammings are set at either the specified 
     dollar threshold or 20% of the procurement or research, 
     development, test and evaluation line, whichever is less. 
     These thresholds are cumulative. Therefore, if the combined 
     value of transfers into or out of a procurement (P-1) or 
     research, development, test and evaluation (R-1) line exceeds 
     the identified threshold, the Department of Defense must 
     submit a prior approval reprogramming to the congressional 
     defense committees. In addition, guidelines on the 
     application of prior approval reprogramming procedures for 
     congressional special interest items are established 
     elsewhere in this report.

                           Funding Increases

       The conferees direct that the funding increases outlined in 
     these tables shall be provided only for the specific purposes 
     indicated in the table.

                   Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS)

       In July 2006, the Department of Defense established a new 
     management arrangement for the JTRS program. As a result, the 
     Department of the Navy is now the lead component for JTRS 
     development. In support of this new arrangement, the 
     conferees agree to transfer JTRS research and development 
     funding from the ``Research, Development, Test and 
     Evaluation, Army'' account to the ``Research, Development, 
     Test and Evaluation, Navy'' account. The conferees note the 
     JTRS Joint Program Executive Office remains in control of 
     JTRS development funding and must approve any obligation or 
     transfer of execution year funds for radio development 
     associated with any of the JTRS program elements.

                          Prompt Global Strike

       The budget request includes $127,000,000 to demonstrate the 
     feasibility of using existing TRIDENT II (D-5) missiles with 
     conventional payloads to provide a prompt global strike 
     capability. The conferees believe that fundamental issues 
     about the requirement for and use of this weapon must be 
     addressed prior to determining the efficacy of this program. 
     Therefore, the conferees are providing $5,000,000 in 
     Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Defense-Wide for 
     a study to be conducted by the National Academy of Sciences 
     to analyze the mission requirement and, where appropriate, 
     consider and recommend alternatives that meet the prompt 
     global strike mission in the near term (1-2 years), the mid-
     term (3-5 years), and the long term. The study should include 
     analyses of the military, political and international issues 
     associated with each alternative. The study should consider 
     technology options for achieving desired objectives as well 
     as mitigating policy concerns. The study is due to the 
     congressional defense committees by March 15, 2007. In 
     addition, the conferees are providing $20,000,000 in 
     Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Navy for 
     developmental efforts under the Conventional Trident 
     Modification program. These funds should be used to focus on 
     those developmental items which are common to all the global 
     strike alternatives until the completion of the study and a 
     determination has been made on the best course of action in 
     this matter.

  Joint Strike Fighter Alternate Engine Development and Cost Analysis

       The conferees recommend an additional $170,000,000 in 
     Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Air Force and 
     $170,000,000 in Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, 
     Navy for continuing development of the F-136 engine for the 
     Joint Strike Fighter program. The conferees direct the Under 
     Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology and 
     Logistics to sponsor a comprehensive independent cost 
     analysis of the Joint Strike Fighter engine program. The 
     conferees strongly encourage the analysis be conducted by the 
     Institute for Defense Analyses (IDA). This analysis shall 
     include but not be limited to: (1) a comparison of costs 
     associated with the development of the F-135 and F-136 
     engines; (2) an evaluation of potential savings achieved by 
     eliminating or continuing the development and production of 
     an alternate engine over the program's life cycle; and (3) 
     the potential effects on the industrial base of eliminating 
     or continuing the development and production of an alternate 
     engine over the program's life cycle. This analysis shall be 
     transmitted to the congressional defense committees not later 
     than March 15, 2007.
       The conferees in no way intend for this analysis to be an 
     excuse for the Department of Defense not to fully fund the 
     development of both the F-135 and the F-136 engines in fiscal 
     year 2008. All evidence suggests that the development of two 
     alternate engines will lead to cost savings through 
     competition, increased capabilities for the warfighter, and a 
     strengthened industrial base. Accordingly, the conferees 
     direct the Department of Defense to fund the continued 
     development of both the engines in the fiscal year 2008 
     budget submission while this cost analysis is ongoing.

               Department of Defense Biometrics Programs

       The conferees reaffirm the authority of the Secretary of 
     the Army as Executive Agent for all biometrics within the 
     Department of Defense under Public Law 106-246, and encourage 
     the Department of Defense to designate a Principal Staff 
     Assistant to define policy, architecture, and interagency 
     cooperation. The conferees look forward to receiving the 
     final report of the Defense Science Board study on biometrics 
     and receiving the associated recommendations of the Secretary 
     of Defense by January 15, 2007.

                           Alternative Fuels

       At the behest of Congress, the Air Force initiated research 
     into developing alternatives to jet fuels in current use. 
     That research has paid dividends. A recent report from the 
     Air Force indicates that substituting standard jet fuels 
     (such as JP-4 and JP-8) with coal-based synthetic fuels and 
     natural gas derivatives could result in savings of up to two-
     thirds of the cost of a gallon of JP-8. Moreover, the Air 
     Force research shows that these alternative fuels burn 
     cleaner than standard jet fuels, a result that portends 
     savings from lower maintenance and engine replacement costs. 
     In light of these findings, the Navy reports that it plans to 
     initiate a pilot program to develop alternative fuels. Given 
     the high costs of fuel and maintenance, the conferees are 
     encouraged by these reports and believe that the military 
     services should continue to pursue alternative fuels research 
     and development. As such, the conferees encourage the 
     Department to provide sufficient funding in its fiscal year 
     2008 and future budget requests to continue these important 
     research programs.

                    Specialty Steel Industrial Base

       The Department of Defense's demand for iron-based alloy 
     aviation specialty steels has dramatically increased as a 
     result of continuing deployments to the overseas theaters of 
     operation. Today, there is only one domestic supplier for a 
     unique process which utilizes vacuum inducted melt/vacuum arc 
     re-melt, the process which gives aviation grade steels their 
     required properties. These specialty steels are critical to 
     building high technology U.S. military weapon systems. 
     Further, there has been a related and dramatic increase in 
     the raw material needed to make these specialty steels. Lead 
     times for these raw materials have grown from 3 months to 1 
     year. According to the Army, the overall effect on lead times 
     for spare part deliverables has swelled in some cases to 
     greater than 24 months. As such, the conferees encourage the 
     Department of Defense to partner with domestic industry to 
     develop a greater capacity to meet the delivery requirements 
     for aviation parts to the military within an acceptable time 
     frame. The conferees suggest that the Department explore a 
     50/50 cost share project between the Federal government, 
     private industry, and/or state governments as the best means 
     to create this capacity as rapidly as possible.

 Medical Countermeasures Against Acute Radiation Syndrome and Similar 
                                Threats

       The conferees recognize that acute radiation syndrome and 
     other forms of radiation sickness could potentially afflict 
     forward deployed members of the military, and that currently 
     there are no effective means of treating individuals exposed 
     to radiation or a nuclear attack. Therefore, the conferees 
     direct the Secretary of Defense to submit to the 
     congressional defense committees a report that outlines a 
     plan for procuring medical countermeasures that will treat 
     forward deployed service members against the lethal effects 
     of acute radiation syndrome, to include neutropenia and 
     thrombocytopenia. This report will also identify the 
     countermeasures required to protect service members in the 
     event of a nuclear or bioterrorist attack, a plan to forward 
     deploy those countermeasures, and an assessment of costs 
     associated with implementing this plan. This report should be 
     provided no later than March 15, 2007.

                            Stryker Upgrades

       The conferees are pleased with the performance of the 
     Stryker armored vehicle in Iraq and encourage the Army to 
     pursue new technologies and capabilities for the Stryker to 
     improve the capabilities of the vehicle on the battlefield. 
     The conferees encourage the Army to pursue these technology 
     upgrades including an integrated power management system, 
     increased improvised explosive device and mine blast 
     protection, improved situational awareness, new brakes and 
     suspension, and the addition of the XM307 gun, Javelin 
     missile and target detection capabilities.

                      Micromanufacturing Processes

       The conferees are aware of the growing need for 
     microdevices and improved micromanufacturing processes to 
     meet Defense requirements for smart micromachines. 
     Streamlined micromanufacturing processes will enhance the 
     Department's development and use of embedded biochemical 
     sensors and miniature safe-and-arm devices. The Department is 
     encouraged to work with universities with demonstrated 
     expertise in novel micromanufacturing processes and 
     equipment.

                          Corrosion Protection

       The Navy spends significant amounts of its fleet 
     maintenance budget on corrosion protection. The conferees are 
     aware of important 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. This technology 
     may provide unique advantages over current materials. The 
     conferees encourage the Office of Naval Research to consider 
     continued funding for this important research project.

                 Tanker Replacement Development Program

       The conference agreement provides $70,000,000 for 
     development of the KC-135 tanker replacement, as opposed to 
     $203,932,000 as proposed by the House. The Senate provided no 
     funding for this purpose. The amount provided in the 
     conference agreement was identified in writing by the 
     Department of Defense as the level needed to meet all fiscal 
     year 2007 requirements.

                         B-52 Stand-off Jammer

       The conferees note that the Air Force has terminated the B-
     52 Stand-off Jammer program for airborne electronic attack 
     and agree to rescind fiscal year 2006 funds appropriated for 
     this purpose in a General Provision. However, there remains a 
     future requirement for a persistent stand-off jamming 
     platform, despite the longer than originally anticipated 
     service life of the Navy's re-winged EA-6B fleet. The 
     conferees expect that the Air Force will reevaluate the 
     future persistent stand-off jammer requirement in fiscal year 
     2007 and encourage the Department to submit a reprogramming 
     request should the Air Force determine that the B-52 is the 
     proper platform to conduct this mission.

                             A-10 Squadrons

       The budget request includes $64,000,000 for continued 
     development of a propulsion upgrade program for the A-10 
     aircraft. However, since the budget submission, this program 
     has been terminated by the Air Force. The House provided 
     $16,771,000 for A-10 Squadrons, a reduction of $64,000,000, 
     due to the cancellation of the program. The Senate included 
     $31,971,000, a reduction of $48,800,000. The conferees agree 
     to provide the Senate amount and expect that the remaining 
     $15,200,000 identified for the cancelled propulsion upgrade 
     program will be dedicated to the shortfall in the A-10 
     precision engagement development program.

                     Hybrid Fuel Cell Power Systems

       The conferees encourage continued development and testing 
     of hybrid fuel cell power systems for SATCOM systems by the 
     Air Force's Research Lab--Information Directorate in Rome, 
     New York. The conferees encourage the Air Force to continue 
     this important research as it pertains to current and future 
     Air Force missions.

    J-STARS Communication, Navigation, Surveillance and Air Traffic 
                          Management (CNS/ATM)

       A significant investment of over $50,000,000 to date has 
     been made to accomplish the Communication, Navigation, 
     Surveillance and Air Traffic Management (CNS/ATM) 
     modification on the E-8C fleet. The fiscal year 2007 budget 
     request includes $20,000,000 for this effort. The program is 
     on budget, on schedule, and is meeting its program goals. The 
     conferees believe CNS/ATM modification is crucial to the long 
     term sustainment of the E-8C Joint STARS Weapon System to 
     support current and future military operations and therefore 
     provide an additional $3,600,000 for this effort. The 
     conferees expect the Air Force to complete development 
     activities and initiate a timely retrofit of the E-8C fleet.

                         Combat Identification

       Multiple incidents in current and past conflicts and 
     exercises have repeatedly demonstrated that positive hostile 
     identification is crucial to using the full military 
     capabilities and enabling joint interoperability of our 
     technologically advanced weapon systems, such as the F-22, F/
     A-18, and MEADS. Furthermore, fratricide and strict combat 
     Rules of Engagement can limit and restrict their combat 
     employment, thereby losing U.S. technological advantage and 
     putting our forces at risk. Since combat identification is 
     only as good as the target signature databases, securing the 
     continued development and sustainment of these databases and 
     coordinating their joint applications must be a priority. Due 
     to the critical nature of this joint military requirement and 
     since databases continue to receive low priority, the 
     conferees encourage the following: (1) Joint Theater and 
     Missile Defense Organization and Joint Forces Command should 
     coordinate and integrate combat ID signature database 
     requirements, applications, and interoperability, in 
     coordination with the National Signatures Program (NSP); (2) 
     the Department of Defense should include funding for combat 
     ID database development, support, and sustainment through the 
     Future Years Defense Program; and (3) Aeronautical Systems 
     Center (ASC) should be designated the Department of Defense 
     executing agent for the long-term development, application, 
     support, and sustainment of these databases and associated 
     technologies and tools. Funding for these database efforts 
     should be joint, with the respective services funding their 
     specific production and support requirements.

        Transformational Satellite Communications System (TSAT)

       The conferees agree to provide $737,102,000 for the TSAT 
     program, $130,000,000 below the budget request. This amount 
     provides sufficient resources to support continued 
     competition with two industry teams and to support continued 
     development of the program's ground segment. Further, the 
     conferees direct the Air Force to provide a quarterly program 
     performance report on the program that: (1) includes Earned 
     Value Management System information and a narrative summary 
     that addresses technical milestones, program cost, schedule, 
     performance, and any corrective action required for departure 
     from the plan for the previous quarter, and (2) includes the 
     program plan for the next quarter.

                     Operationally Responsive Space

       The conferees provide the budget request of $35,625,000 for 
     Operationally Responsive Space, of which $19,524,000 is for 
     the Affordable Responsive Space-lift (ARES) program, 
     $16,000,000 is for the FALCON small launch vehicle program, 
     and the remaining amount for the TACSAT program. The 
     conferees are pleased that the Air Force initiated a program 
     element for Operationally Responsive Space and strongly 
     support the concept.
       The conferees note that, among projects planned by the Air 
     Force and the National Reconnaissance Office over the next 
     few years, several missions will require small launch 
     vehicles of similar capability. Therefore, the conferees 
     encourage these organizations to consider opportunities to 
     partner and use their combined purchasing power to leverage 
     capability and cost through procuring small launch vehicles 
     for future space missions.
       The conferees support the concept of a reusable launch 
     vehicle, but question the pursuit of the ARES program as it 
     exists. Further, the conferees note the lack of a 
     comprehensive strategy for space launch. Therefore, the 
     conferees direct no funds appropriated in this bill may be 
     used for the ARES program. Of the $19,524,000 budgeted for 
     ARES, the conferees direct that $7,500,000 be used for the 
     purposes described in the classified annex and the remaining 
     $12,024,000 be used to complete the purchase of multiple 
     small launch vehicles. Should any funds appropriated to this 
     program element for the above specific purposes become 
     available for any reason, the conferees urge the Air Force to 
     supplement the funds provided for the purchase of multiple 
     small launch vehicles.

  Combatant Commanders' Integrated Command and Control System (CCIC2S)

       The budget requests $50,908,000 for the CCIC2S. CCIC2S was 
     planned to provide combatant commanders a command and control 
     system for Integrated Tactical Warning and Attack Assessment 
     (ITW/AA) that would incorporate air, missile defense, and 
     space components. The conferees understand the Air Force 
     Space Command and United States Strategic Command plan to 
     remove the space mission from Cheyenne Mountain Operations 
     Center (CMOC) and therefore from CCIC2S. However, the 
     conferees believe that in order to accomplish the ITW/AA 
     mission effectively a closer relationship should exist 
     between the missile defense mission at CMOC and activity at 
     the Joint National Integration Center.
       As a result, the conferees recommend $43,500,000, a 
     reduction of $7,408,000, in research and development funding 
     for the CCIC2S program. These funds are provided to complete 
     the missile defense activity and re-start work on the Single 
     Integrated Space Picture (SISP) as a part of the 
     aforementioned plan. The conferees note the growing 
     importance for the SISP as a national capability to provide 
     situational awareness of space and support improvements in 
     that mission area. No funds have been provided for the other 
     space-related items as requested due to pending changes in 
     Air Force Space Command. A similar reduction is made to 
     ``Other Procurement, Air Force'' for the same purposes.

                Chemical and Biological Defense Program

       The conference agreement provides an increase of 
     $25,000,000 for the Chemical and Biological Defense 
     Initiative. The Secretary of Defense is directed to allocate 
     these funds among the programs that yield the greatest gain 
     in our chem-bio defensive posture. The conferees further 
     direct that such funds may not be obligated until 15 days 
     after a report, including a description of projects to be 
     funded, is provided to the congressional defense committees.

           MDA--Space Tracking and Surveillance System (STSS)

       The budget request includes $390,585,000 for STSS, 
     including $97,000,000 for the Block 2012 space system. The 
     conference agreement includes $323,585,000, a reduction of 
     $67,000,000 for Block 2012. The conferees note that two 
     demonstration satellites will be launched in fiscal year 2007 
     and that exploitation of data from these satellites will 
     allow the Missile Defense Agency to develop sensor 
     requirements and a concept of operations that will drive the 
     Block 2012 space system. As a result, the conferees believe 
     it is premature to award a full Block 2012 space system 
     acquisition contract and direct the Missile Defense Agency to 
     use the appropriated STSS Block 2012 funds to initiate a 
     contract to: (1) pursue sensor technology development and 
     risk reduction; (2) complete the definition of the Block 2012 
     system through analysis and trades; and, (3) develop 
     corresponding system requirements leveraging the 
     demonstration satellites.

               MDA--Avoidance of Congressional Reductions

       The conferees remain concerned that the Missile Defense 
     Agency is moving funds between various elements and programs 
     and/or moving contract scope across elements and programs in 
     order to avoid reductions made by the congressional defense 
     committees. This practice is unacceptable and MDA is directed 
     to use prior approval reprogramming procedures specified in 
     the report accompanying the House version of the fiscal year 
     2007 Department of Defense Appropriations bill (H.R. 109-504) 
     for any movement of funds or contract scope beyond the 
     $10,000,000 threshold in research, development, test and 
     evaluation. The MDA shall follow the limitation that prior 
     approval reprogramming is set at either the specified dollar 
     threshold or 20% of the line, whichever is less. The 
     conferees agree that: Ballistic Missile Defense--AEGIS, PE 
     0603892C; Ballistic Missile Defense Terminal Defense Segment, 
     PE 0603881 C; Ballistic Missile Defense Midcourse Defense 
     Segment, PE 0603882C; and Multiple Kill Vehic1e, PE 0603894C 
     are designated as congressional special interest items 
     subject to prior approval reprogramming procedures.

                 MDA--Other Transaction Authority (OTA)

       The conferees are concerned with the continued use of OTA 
     contracts by the Missile Defense Agency. These OTA contracts 
     lack the customary safeguards found under FAR-based contracts 
     for organizational conflict of interest, truth in 
     negotiations and submission of cost and pricing data. The 
     conferees strongly encourage the Missile Defense Agency to 
     convert large development and procurement contracts using OTA 
     to FAR- based contracts. Accordingly, the conferees direct 
     the Missile Defense Agency to submit a report on the use of 
     Other Transaction Authority contracts by the Missile Defense 
     Agency. This report should include the number, value, and 
     justification for the use of Other Transaction Authority. The 
     report should be delivered to the congressional defense 
     committees 90 days after the enactment of this Act.

                       MilTech Extension Program

       The conferees support the ``MilTech Extension'' program and 
     encourage the Department of Defense to fund this program in 
     the fiscal year 2008 budget request. MilTech has been highly 
     successful at helping to transition technologies from 
     innovative small companies to Department of Defense 
     operational use.

                        MDA--AEGIS Improvements

       The conferees have provided $65,000,000 for AEGIS 
     Improvements. Of that amount $15,000,000 is available for the 
     Sea-Based Terminal Capability, and $50,000,000 is available 
     for development and procurement of SM-3 Interceptors.
       The conferees are aware that there is an additional 
     requirement of $20,000,000 in fiscal year 2007 for Sea-Based 
     Terminal Defense, and direct the Missile Defense Agency to 
     submit a prior approval reprogramming to fully fund this 
     requirement.

                          Airborne Laser (ABL)

       The conferees are encouraged by the recent technical 
     progress that the Airborne Laser (ABL) program has made over 
     the last two years with the accomplishment of the firing of 
     the high energy laser and the flight testing of the 
     associated beam control/fire control system. The conferees 
     also note that these technical challenges were accomplished 
     while the program stayed within the government determined 
     schedule and budget.
       As the acknowledged Primary Boost Phase Defense, the 
     conferees are concerned by the recent decision of the Missile 
     Defense Agency (MDA) to slip the planning for the development 
     of an operational ABL by two years later than proposed in the 
     fiscal year 2006 budget submittal. The conferees believe that 
     if the ABL succeeds in the next two years of testing and 
     accomplishes its main test objectives leading towards a 
     lethal shoot down demonstration in late 2008, MDA should move 
     the program into development of an operational ABL 
     configuration at the earliest date.
       Therefore, the conferees encourage MDA to re-evaluate 
     funding in the Future Years Defense Plan to ensure that 
     funding levels for ABL are consistent with its status as the 
     Primary Boost Phase Defense. Further, the conferees recommend 
     MDA develop a plan that would allow for the development of an 
     advanced ABL configuration in the shortest time after a 
     successful lethal shoot down demonstration. This plan should 
     be delivered to the congressional defense committees 90 days 
     after the enactment of this Act.

      Defense Integrated Military Human Resources System (DIMHRS)

       The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense and the 
     currently participating individual services to maintain 
     DIMHRS application development and implementation and DIMHRS 
     performance development and emergent requirement efforts at 
     the Space and Naval Warfare (SPAWAR) Systems Center (SSC) in 
     New Orleans.

           Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA)

       The conferees provide $3,135,303,000 for DARPA, a reduction 
     of $159,045,000 from the request. The conferees direct the 
     Director of DARP A to submit to the congressional defense 
     committees no later than sixty days after enactment of this 
     Act a report in writing that details by program the 
     application of undistributed reductions made in this Act.
       The conferees commend DARPA for its responsiveness and 
     assistance in delineating its sizeable programmatic and 
     budgetary information. However, given the magnitude of 
     DARPA's budget and the significant quantity of programs 
     managed by DARPA, the conferees believe that future budget 
     justification materials should provide more individual 
     programmatic detail, to include budget information, 
     programmatic achievements and goals by fiscal year, as well 
     as transition plans.

     proposed by both the House and the Senate, for the Defense 
     Working Capital Funds.

                     NATIONAL DEFENSE SEALIFT FUND

       The conference agreement provides a total of $1,071,932,000 
     for the National Defense Sealift Fund as proposed by the 
     House instead of $616,932,000 as proposed by the Senate. The 
     conference agreement restores the reduction of $455,000,000 
     for the T-AKE cargo/ammunition ship program proposed by the 
     Senate.

            PENTAGON RESERVATION MAINTENANCE REVOLVING FUND

       The conference agreement provides $18,500,000, as proposed 
     by both the House and the Senate, for the Pentagon 
     Reservation Maintenance Revolving Fund.

   CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY RETIREMENT AND DISABILITY SYSTEM FUND

       The conference agreement provides $256,400,000 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 provides $621,611,000 for the 
     Intelligence Community Management Account, instead of 
     $597,111,000 as proposed by the House and $597,011,000 as 
     proposed by the Senate.
       The conference agreement provides for a transfer of 
     $39,000,000 to the Department of Justice for the National 
     Drug Intelligence Center to support the Department of 
     Defense's counter-drug intelligence responsibilities, the 
     same amount as proposed by the House.

                  Iraq National Intelligence Estimate

       The conferees did not include bill language requiring the 
     Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) to 
     provide a National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) for Iraq. The 
     conferees understand that the ODNI is currently drafting such 
     a document. The conferees urge the ODNI in creating the NIE 
     to follow the parameters set out in the Senate bill in Title 
     VII, under the heading ``Intelligence Community Management 
     Account.''

                     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 include a general provision (Section 8005) as 
     proposed by the House and the Senate concerning transfer 
     authority. The conferees also include language that requires 
     a prior approval reprogramming before obligating funds 
     pursuant to section 1206 of Public Law 109-163.
       The conferees include a general provision (Section 8008) 
     which amends language, as proposed by the House and the 
     Senate, concerning multi-year procurement authority. The 
     conference agreement provides multi-year procurement 
     authority for C-17 Globemaster; F-22A; MH-60R Helicopters; 
     MH-60R Helicopter mission equipment; and V-22 Osprey.
       The conferees include a general provision (Section 8023) 
     which amends language, as proposed by the House and Senate, 
     with respect to Federally Funded Research and Development 
     Centers.
       Section 8024 in title VIII of this Act prohibits the use of 
     government funds to purchase armor steel plate that was not 
     melted and rolled in the United States or Canada. The 
     conferees are concerned that the Department of Defense may 
     alter or weaken the intent of Congress through changes to the 
     implementing instructions. The conferees direct the 
     Department to discuss any proposed changes with the relevant 
     congressional committees and gain congressional approval 
     before altering the current interpretation of this 
     prohibition.
       The conferees include a general provision (Section 8039) 
     which amends language, as proposed by the House and Senate, 
     to make funds available under ``Operation and Maintenance, 
     Defense-Wide'' for the Office of Economic Adjustment to make 
     grants.
       The conferees include a general provision (Section 8040) 
     which amends language, as proposed by the House and Senate, 
     recommending rescissions. The rescissions agreed to are:

       The conferees include a general provision (Section 8077) 
     which amends language, as proposed by the House and Senate, 
     to reduce funds available in Operation and Maintenance 
     accounts by $158,100,000 for excessive growth in other 
     contracted services.
       The conferees include a general provision (Section 8079) 
     which amends language, as proposed by the House and Senate, 
     concerning the Arrow missile defense program. The conference 
     agreement provides a total of $137,894,000 for the Arrow 
     program of which $53,000,000 is earmarked for missile 
     component co-production, and $20,400,000 is earmarked only 
     for the Short Range Ballistic Missile Defense initiative.
       The conferees include a general provision (Section 8080) 
     which amends language, as proposed by the House and Senate, 
     to provide transfer authority for specified shipbuilding 
     programs. The agreement provides total transfer authority of 
     $512,849,000 instead of $436,449,000 as proposed by the House 
     and $557,849,000 as proposed by the Senate. The agreement 
     also distributes funds to specified shipbuilding programs.
       The conferees include a general provision (Section 8088) 
     which amends language, as proposed by the House, to provide 
     $11,100,000 for grants to various organizations.
       The conferees include a general provision (Section 8096) 
     which amends language, as proposed by the House and Senate to 
     provide special transfer authority for Navy shipbuilding 
     programs. The agreement accepts provisions contained in the 
     House bill, but accepts the Senate proposal regarding the 
     availability of transferred funds. The agreement specifies 
     that transferred funds are available for the time period of 
     the original appropriation and are not extended by the 
     transfer.
       The conferees include a general provision (Section 8102) 
     which amends language, as proposed by the Senate, to provide 
     funds for the operations and development of training and 
     technology for warfighting and first responder training at 
     the Joint Interagency Training Center-East.
       The conferees include a general provision (Section 8103) 
     which amends language, as proposed by the Senate, to extend 
     the authority of a Defense Advanced Research Project Agency 
     program through September 30, 2008.
       The conferees include a general provision (Section 8106) 
     which amends language, as proposed by the House and Senate, 
     to reduce funds available in this Act to reflect savings from 
     revised economic assumptions.
       The conferees include a general provision (Section 8110) 
     which amends language, as proposed by the Senate, which 
     requires the Secretary of the Air Force to submit a cost-
     benefit analysis of research and development activities.
       The conferees include a general provision (Section 8111) 
     which amends language, as proposed by the House, to prohibit 
     the use of funds provided in this Act to waive or modify 
     regulations concerning the National Security Personnel 
     System.
       The conferees include a general provision (Section 8112) 
     that clarifies the definition of ``this Act''.

                         Reporting Requirements

       The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to provide a 
     report to the congressional defense committees within 30 days 
     of enactment of this legislation on the allocation of the 
     funds within the accounts listed in this title. The Secretary 
     shall submit updated reports 30 days after the end of each 
     fiscal quarter until funds listed in this title 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 title 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 title.
       The conferees expect that in order to meet unanticipated 
     requirements, the Department of Defense may need to transfer 
     funds within these appropriation 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 
     title.

                                 Reset

       The high operating tempo resulting from training and 
     subsequent deployment to Iraq and Afghanistan, combined with 
     severe environmental conditions, results in an equipment wear 
     out factor that is several times the peace time rate. Combat 
     losses add to the overall deterioration in the readiness 
     rating of entire categories of equipment ranging from night 
     vision devices to communications equipment to combat and 
     support vehicles. While units deploying to combat theaters 
     and in the combat theaters are fully equipped with the most 
     capable equipment, units at home station are often faced with 
     equipment shortages or unready equipment. These shortages 
     limit the capacity of units to conduct readiness training, 
     and in the case of the National Guard, may limit the capacity 
     of units to perform state emergency missions. Units returning 
     from deployment go through the reset process in which 
     equipment is repaired and battle losses are replaced in order 
     to return the unit to full readiness posture.
       The conferees are concerned that the reset effort has not 
     kept up with the requirements generated by the ongoing Global 
     War on Terror, especially in the Army and Marine Corps for 
     which nearly continuous ground combat operations have been 
     especially hard on equipment. The conferees understand that 
     the necessary capacity is available at industry and 
     government facilities to repair or replace the worn out 
     equipment. The House and Senate each included funds for reset 
     in their version of the Defense Appropriations Act for fiscal 
     year 2007. The conferees have worked closely with the Army 
     and Marine Corps to examine reset funding requirements and 
     the services' capacity to execute those funds and accomplish 
     the reset mission as quickly as possible to ensure military 
     readiness. Within title IX, the conferees have provided $17.1 
     billion for additional fiscal year 2007 reset funding for the 
     Army and $5.8 billion for the Marine Corps, amounts 
     identified by these services as necessary to meet their 
     fiscal year 2007 requirements. The conferees recommend this 
     substantial funding increase in order to ensure the readiness 
     of the armed forces. The conferees note that this critical 
     funding has been provided without a formal request from the 
     administration and urge the Department of Defense to include 
     funding in future budget requests to address reset 
     requirements and ensure that readiness goals are achieved.

         Home Station Readiness Training, Logistics, and Reset

       In this title the conferees recommend $44,260,734,000 in 
     the operation and maintenance accounts. In addition to 
     substantial funding required to support continuing combat and 
     security operations in Afghanistan and Iraq, the conferees 
     understand that significant amounts are required in support 
     of a range of home station activities, including unit 
     mobilizations, specialized pre-deployment training, 
     transportation, reset, and post-deployment training. The 
     funding provided in this title, particularly the substantial 
     funding for repair of equipment, will ensure recovery to 
     established readiness standards for full spectrum combat 
     operations around the world. To the extent that training, 
     maintenance and reset activities displace normal peacetime 
     training events, the amounts provided in home station 
     operation and maintenance lines in title II of this 
     conference report have been reduced. The Department of 
     Defense should allocate title IX operation and maintenance 
     funding accordingly to ensure full support for pre-deployment 
     and post-deployment operations, as well as for continuing 
     combat and security operations in support of the Global War 
     on Terror.

               Afghanistan and Iraq Security Forces Funds

       The conferees provide $1,500,000,000 for the Afghanistan 
     Security Forces Fund and $1,700,000,000 for the Iraq Security 
     Forces Fund. These funds will continue the training of 
     indigenous security forces and provide equipment and 
     infrastructure essential to developing capable security 
     forces in Afghanistan and Iraq. The conferees direct the 
     Department to continue to provide comprehensive financial 
     plans for the security forces funds as directed in the 
     Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act for Defense, the 
     Global War on Terror, and Hurricane Recovery, 2006 (Public 
     Law 109-234). The conferees further expect that up to 
     $2,000,000 of the funds provided for the Afghanistan Security 
     Forces Fund be available for infrastructure improvements for 
     the Afghanistan military legal system, as proposed by the 
     Senate.

                 Commander's Emergency Response Program

       The conferees recommend $500,000,000 to continue the 
     Commander's Emergency Response Program (CERP). The conferees 
     direct the Department to submit quarterly reports on CERP not 
     later than 15 days after the end of each fiscal quarter to 
     the congressional defense committees. The quarterly reports 
     should include detailed information on the source of funds 
     for the program, the allocation and use of funds during that 
     quarter, the recipient of the funds, and the specific 
     purposes for which the funds were used.

                            C-17 Procurement

       The conference agreement provides an additional 
     $2,094,000,000 for 10 C-17 aircraft in title IX to support 
     airlift requirements in the Global War on Terror. The Air 
     Force is encouraged to rapidly procure these additional 
     aircraft in the most efficient method possible. Reprogramming 
     of these funds for uses other than procurement of C-l7s, and 
     ancillary equipment, is expressly prohibited without prior 
     approval of Congress.
       The conferees are concerned that the Department of Defense 
     study establishing the strategic airlift requirement may be 
     flawed and may seriously understate the need for C-17 
     aircraft. The Government Accountability Office has raised 
     questions about the study and has suggested that Congress 
     exercise caution in using that study to make investment 
     decisions. The conferees direct the Department of Defense to 
     continue funding C-l7 production in the fiscal year 2008 
     budget.

                  National Guard and Reserve Equipment

       The Senate included a general provision which provided that 
     $2,440,000,000 of the procurement funds in title IX shall be 
     available for the National Guard and the Army Reserve for 
     National Guard and Reserve equipment. The House provided 
     $500,000,000 in National Guard and Reserve Equipment for the 
     Army National Guard to continue an effort begun in fiscal 
     year 2006 to meet the ``Essential 10 Equipment Requirements 
     for the Global War on Terror'' as identified by the National 
     Guard Bureau. The conferees direct that $2,940,000,000 of the 
     procurement funds provided in title IX shall be available 
     only for the Army National Guard and the Army Reserve, and 
     that $500,000,000 of those funds shall be available for the 
     purposes identified in House Report 109-504 under the heading 
     ``National Guard and Reserve Equipment''. The conferees 
     further direct the Chief of the National Guard Bureau to 
     submit a report specifying the items to be procured with this 
     funding and a fielding plan for this equipment not later than 
     60 days after the enactment of this Act.

                  OTHER DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE PROGRAMS

         Drug Interdiction and Counter-Drug Activities, Defense

       The conferees are concerned with the increased level of 
     poppy production in Afghanistan. Since fiscal year 2004, 
     Congress has provided the Department of Defense nearly 
     $500,000,000 to curtail poppy production and train and equip 
     the Afghanistan special narcotics police units and border 
     agents. The conferees have included an additional 
     $100,000,000 to continue to expedite this effort in fiscal 
     year 2007. The conferees direct the Department of Defense to 
     provide the congressional defense committees with a detailed 
     execution plan on the use of these funds. The Department may 
     not obligate any of these funds until the committees have 
     received this report. Further, these funds may not be used 
     for the construction or modification of facilities. In 
     addition, the Department is directed to provide to the 
     Appropriations Committees an interagency report on the 
     Administration's plan to address drug production, drug 
     smuggling, and narco-terrorism financing in the Central Asian 
     region no later than March 1, 2007.

                     GENERAL PROVISIONS--THIS TITLE

       The conferees include a general provision (Section 9001) as 
     proposed by the House and the Senate, which provides that

     reporting requirements.
       The conferees include a general provision (Section 9004) as 
     proposed by the House and the Senate, which provides that

     activities are deemed to be authorized for purposes of 
     section 504 of the National Security Act of 1947.
       The conferees include a general provision (Section 9005) as 
     proposed by the House and the Senate, which prohibits the use 
     of funds provided in title IX 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 delete language as proposed by the House, 
     which provided funds for support to the military and security 
     forces of Iraq and Afghanistan. These matters are addressed 
     in the relevant appropriations accounts.
       The conferees include a general provision (Section 9006) as 
     proposed by the House and the Senate, which provides up to 
     $500,000,000 from funds available in this title for the 
     Commander's Emergency Response Program, and requires 
     quarterly reports regarding the use of these funds.
       The conferees include a general provision (Section 9007) as

     proposed by the House and Senate, which provides that for 
     construction projects in Iraq and Afghanistan funded with 
     operation and maintenance funds, supervisory and 
     administrative costs may be obligated when the contract is 
     awarded.
       The conferees include a general provision (Section 9010) as 
     proposed by the House and Senate, which requires the 
     Secretary of Defense to provide quarterly reports to Congress 
     on a comprehensive set of indicators and measures for 
     progress toward military and political stability in Iraq. The 
     conferees urge the Secretary to also address procedures and 
     guidelines to protect U.S. military and civilian personnel in 
     Iraq in the event of increased sectarian violence.
       The conferees include a general provision (Section 9011) as 
     proposed by the House, which contains a technical correction 
     to clarify the designation of certain funds.
       The conferees include a general provision (Section 9012) as 
     proposed by the House and Senate, which prohibits funds in 
     this Act for establishing permanent U.S. military

     resources in Iraq.
       The conferees include a general provision (Section 9013), 
     which amends language, as proposed by the Senate, which 
     designates amounts appropriated or otherwise made available 
     in this title as making appropriations for contingency 
     operations related to the global war on terrorism. The House 
     included such designation in each appropriations account.
       The conferees delete language as proposed by the Senate, 
     which provided additional funds for the Army and Marine Corps 
     to fund equipment reset requirements resulting from 
     continuing combat operations. The conferees addressed this 
     matter in the appropriations accounts within this title.
       The conferees delete language as proposed by the Senate, 
     which provided funds for a pilot program of the Army National 
     Guard on the reintegration of the National Guard into 
     civilian life after deployment. This matter is addressed in 
     title II, under the account ``Operation and Maintenance, 
     Defense-Wide''.

     which provided funds for the procurement of hemostatic 
     agents. This matter is addressed in the appropriations 
     accounts within this title.
       The conferees delete language as proposed by the Senate, 
     which provided funds for National Guard and Reserve 
     equipment. This matter is addressed elsewhere within this 
     title.
       The conferees delete language as proposed by the Senate, 
     which required a report regarding sectarian violence in Iraq. 
     This matter is addressed elsewhere within this title.
       The conferees modify a general provision (Section 9014) as 
     proposed by the Senate, to provide funds for the purpose of 
     assisting peacekeeping forces in Darfur.

       The conferees include a general provision (Section 9015), 
     as proposed by the House, which prohibits the use of funds 
     provided in this Act to be used in contravention of laws or 
     regulations promulgated to implement the United Nations 
     Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or 
     Degrading Treatment or Punishment.
       The conferees delete a general provision as proposed by the 
     Senate, to provide $700,000,000 for ``Drug Interdiction and 
     Counter-Drug Activities, Defense'', for counter-drug 
     activities in Afghanistan. This matter is addressed in this 
     title under the funding provided for this account.
       The conferees include a general provision (Section 9016) as 
     proposed by the House and the Senate, which provides that 
     none of the funds appropriated or otherwise made available by

       The conferees include a general provision (Section 9017) as 
     proposed by the Senate, which prohibits the use of funds to 
     enter into an agreement with the Iraq government that would 
     subject members of the Armed Forces to the jurisdiction of 
     Iraq criminal courts or punishment under Iraq law.
       The conferees include a general provision (Section 9018) 
     which amends language, as proposed by the Senate, which 
     allows the Secretary of the Army to reimburse a servicemember 
     for expenses incurred as a result of preparation for, or 
     execution of, military orders, when such expenses are not 
     reimbursable under law.

    TITLE X--FISCAL YEAR 2006 WILDLAND FIRE EMERGENCY APPROPRIATIONS

       Title X of the conference agreement provides $100,000,000 
     for the Department of the Interior and $100,000,000 for the 
     Forest Service in emergency firefighting funds. These funds 
     are critically needed for wildfire suppression activities and 
     to repay other appropriations accounts from which funds were 
     transferred on an emergency basis to pay for firefighting 
     costs. Fiscal year 2006 has been the worst wildfire year in 
     decades. The funds are related to unanticipated needs and are 
     for situations that are sudden, urgent, and unforeseen, 
     consistent with the Congressional budget resolution's 
     definition of emergency spending.

                 Compliance With House Resolution 1000

       The conference agreement contains no appropriations as 
     defined in House Resolution 1000 that were not otherwise 
     addressed in the House or Senate bills or reports.
