     the date required, the proposed standard on employer payment 
     for personal protective equipment published in the Federal 
     Register on March 31, 1999 (64 Fed. Reg. 15402) shall become 
     effective as if such standard had been promulgated as a final

     of the House of Representatives and the Senate on the use of

       Sec. 113. (a) Not later than June 20, 2008, the Secretary 
     of Labor shall propose regulations pursuant to section 303(y) 
     of the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977, consistent 
     with the recommendations of the Technical Study Panel 
     established pursuant to section 11 of the Mine Improvement 
     and New Emergency Response (MINER) Act (Public Law 109-236), 
     to require that in any coal mine, regardless of the date on 
     which it was opened, belt haulage entries not be used to 
     ventilate active working places without prior approval from 
     the Assistant Secretary. Further, a mine ventilation plan 
     incorporating the use of air coursed through belt haulage 
     entries to ventilate active working places shall not be 
     approved until the Assistant Secretary has reviewed the 
     elements of the plan related to the use of belt air and 
     determined that the plan at all times affords at least the 
     same measure of protection where belt haulage entries are not 
     used to ventilate working places. The Secretary shall 
     finalize the regulations not later than December 31, 2008.
       (b) Not later than June 15, 2008, the Secretary of Labor 
     shall propose regulations pursuant to section 315 of the 
     Federal Coal Mine Health and Safety Act of 1969, consistent 
     with the recommendations of the National Institute for 
     Occupational Safety and Health pursuant to section 13 of the 
     MINER Act (Public Law 109-236), requiring rescue chambers, or 
     facilities that afford at least the same measure of 
     protection, in underground coal mines. The Secretary shall 
     finalize the regulations not later than December 31, 2008.
       Sec. 114. None of the funds appropriated in this Act under 
     the heading ``Employment and Training Administration'' shall 
     be used by a recipient or subrecipient of such funds to pay 
     the salary and bonuses of an individual, either as direct 
     costs or indirect costs, at a rate in excess of Executive 
     Level II. This limitation shall not apply to vendors 
     providing goods and services as defined in OMB Circular A-
     133. Where States are recipients of such funds, States may 
     establish a lower limit for salaries and bonuses of those 
     receiving salaries and bonuses from subrecipients of such 
     funds, taking into account factors including the relative 
     cost-of-living in the State, the compensation levels for 
     comparable State or local government employees, and the size 
     of the organizations that administer Federal programs 
     involved including Employment and Training Administration 
     programs.
       This title may be cited as the ``Department of Labor 
     Appropriations Act, 2008''.

       JOINT EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF THE COMMITTEE OF CONFERENCE

       The managers on the part of the House and Senate at the 
     conference on the disagreeing votes of the two Houses on the 
     amendment of the Senate to the bill (H.R. 3043) making 
     appropriations for the Department of Labor, Health and Human 
     Services, and Education, and related agencies for the fiscal 
     year ending September 30, 2008, and for other purposes, 
     submit the following joint statement to the House and Senate 
     in explanation of the effect of the action agreed upon by the 
     managers and recommended in the accompanying conference 
     report.
       This conference agreement includes the Departments of 
     Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education, and Related 
     Agencies Appropriations Act, 2008 as Division A; and the 
     Military Construction and Veterans Affairs and Related 
     Agencies Appropriations Act, 2008 as Division B.

   DIVISION A--DEPARTMENTS OF LABOR, HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES, AND 
          EDUCATION, AND RELATED AGENCIES APPROPRIATIONS, 2008

       In implementing this conference agreement, the Departments 
     and agencies should be guided by the language and 
     instructions set forth in House Report 110-231 and Senate 
     Report 110-107 accompanying the bill, H.R. 3043.
       In the cases where the language and instructions in either 
     report specifically address the allocation of funds, each has 
     been reviewed by the conferees and those that are jointly 
     concurred in have been endorsed in this joint statement.
       In the cases in which the House or the Senate reports 
     direct the submission of a report, such report is to be 
     submitted to both the House and Senate Committees on 
     Appropriations.
       The conferees note that section 516 sets forth the 
     reprogramming requirements and limitations for the 
     Departments and agencies funded through this Act, including 
     the requirement to make a written request to the Committees 
     15 days prior to reprogramming, or to the announcement of 
     intent to reprogram, funds in excess of 10 percent, or 
     $500,000, whichever is less, between programs, projects and 
     activities.
       Finally, the conferees request that statements on the 
     effect of this appropriation Act on the Departments and 
     agencies funded in this Division be submitted to the 
     Committees within 45 days of enactment of this Act, pursuant 
     to section 518. The conferees expect that these statements 
     will provide sufficient detail to show the allocation of 
     funds among programs, projects and activities, particularly 
     in accounts where the final appropriation is different than 
     that of the budget request. Furthermore, the conferees 
     request the statements to also include the effect of the 
     appropriation on any new activities or major initiatives 
     discussed in the budget justifications accompanying the 
     fiscal year 2008 budget.

                    Reducing the Need for Abortions

       The conference agreement includes nearly $615 million over 
     the fiscal year 2007 funding level for the initiative in the 
     House bill to reduce the need for abortions in America 
     through both prevention and support programs. Key increases 
     are provided for Healthy Start, Family Planning, Abstinence 
     Education, Child Care, and Community Services Block Grant to 
     increase services to prevent unintended pregnancies, 
     encourage women to carry their pregnancies to term, and 
     provide support for new parents who have economic 
     difficulties. New approaches include a young parents training 
     initiative in the Department of Labor, first time motherhood 
     grants under the Health Resources and Services 
     Administration, and a teen pregnancy prevention demonstration 
     within the Centers for Disease Control.
       The Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and 
     Education, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2008, put 
     in place by this bill, incorporates the following agreements 
     of the managers:

                      TITLE I--DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

                 Employment and Training Administration


                    training and employment services

                        (including rescissions)

       The conference agreement includes $3,618,940,000 for 
     Training and Employment Services, instead of $3,530,530,000 
     as proposed by the House and $3,587,138,000 as proposed by 
     the Senate. Of the amount appropriated, $1,772,000,000 is an 
     advance appropriation for fiscal year 2009 as proposed by the 
     House and the Senate.
       The conference agreement includes $1,471,903,000 for 
     Dislocated Worker Assistance as proposed by the House and the 
     Senate. The conferees override the formula that provides that 
     80 percent of the funds provided will be used for State 
     formula grants and 20 percent in a National Reserve Account. 
     For program year 2008 the conferees provide $1,189,811,000 
     for the State formula grants and $282,092,000 for the 
     National Reserve Account.
       The conference agreement provides that $6,300,000 in 
     National Reserve Account funds shall be available upon 
     enactment for the purposes of grants, to be awarded within 30 
     days of enactment, for the continuation of national or multi-
     state training and employment programs. These grants are to 
     be awarded to the AFL-CIO Working for America Institute and 
     AFL-CIO Appalachian Council, as proposed by the Senate, and 
     the National Center on Education and the Economy, as proposed 
     by the House.
       The conference agreement provides that up to $125,000,000 
     within the National Reserve Account may be used to carry out 
     the Community-Based Job Training Grant initiative as proposed 
     by the House, instead of $150,000,000 as proposed by the 
     Senate. The

[[Page H12509]]

     conference agreement continues bill language which provides 
     that this amount is to be allocated from national emergency 
     grant funds available under section 132(a)(2)(A) of the 
     Workforce Investment Act of 1998, notwithstanding the 
     limitation otherwise imposed under section 171(d), as 
     provided by the Senate. The House contained no similar 
     provision. The conference agreement includes a general 
     provision requiring these grants to be awarded competitively.
       The conferees are in agreement that no funds from the 
     dislocated worker national reserve account or other pilot and 
     demonstration resources be used for career advancement 
     accounts or the predecessor proposal for personal 
     reemployment accounts prior to a specific authorization of 
     such activities, as proposed by the House. The Senate 
     contained no similar provision.
       For Native Americans, the conference agreement includes 
     $55,039,000, instead of $56,381,000 as proposed by the House 
     and $53,696,000 as proposed by the Senate.
       For Migrant and Seasonal Farmworkers, the conference 
     agreement includes a total of $82,740,000 instead of 
     $83,740,000 as proposed by the House and $79,752,000 as 
     proposed by the Senate. Within the total, $77,265,000 is for 
     State service area grants. The amount provided also includes 
     $4,975,000 for housing grants and $500,000 for other 
     discretionary purposes, as described in the Senate report. 
     The House bill included $5,000,000 for housing and the Senate 
     bill provided $4,950,000 for housing and $500,000 for other 
     discretionary purposes. The conference agreement includes 
     bill language proposed by the House providing that no less 
     than 70 percent of formula funds be used for employment and 
     training services and bill language proposed by the Senate 
     which prohibits the Department from restricting the provision 
     of ``related assistance'' services by grantees. These 
     provisions ensure that the program primarily addresses the 
     employment and training needs of the target population while 
     also allowing grantees to provide related services that are 
     often critical to the stabilization and availability of the 
     farm labor workforce.
       For YouthBuild, the conference agreement includes 
     $62,500,000, instead of $60,000,000 as proposed by the House 
     and $65,000,000 as proposed by the Senate. This will provide 
     sufficient funds for an additional competitive grant round in 
     program year 2008.
       For Pilots, Demonstrations and Research, the conference 
     agreement includes $50,569,000 instead of $28,140,000 as 
     proposed by the House and $30,650,000 as proposed by the 
     Senate. Included in this amount is $5,000,000 for a new 
     demonstration program of competitive grants to address the 
     employment and training needs of young parents as proposed by 
     the House and detailed in House Report 110-231. The House 
     provided $10,000,000 for this purpose. The Senate had no 
     similar provision.
       For the remaining amount provided for Pilots, 
     Demonstrations and Research, the conference agreement 
     includes a modification of bill language as proposed by the 
     Senate. The conference agreement includes the following 
     projects in the following amounts:

       The conference agreement consolidates the Responsible 
     Reintegration of Youthful Offenders and Prisoner Reentry 
     programs into a program of Reintegration of Ex-Offenders, as 
     proposed by the House. The conference agreement provides 
     $78,694,000, instead of $68,746,000 as proposed by the House 
     and a total of $68,642,000 as proposed by the Senate in two 
     individual programs. Within this amount, the conference 
     agreement provides that no less than $59,000,000 be used for 
     programming for youth. The conference agreement also provides 
     that a total of $50,000,000 be available from resources in 
     both fiscal years 2007 and 2008 for a youth mentoring 
     initiative. The $50,000,000 provided is for competitive 
     grants to local educational agencies or community-based 
     organizations to develop and implement mentoring strategies 
     in schools identified as persistently dangerous. The 
     conferees intend that $33,000,000 provided in this Act, along 
     with $17,000,000 in funds made available under the fiscal 
     year 2007 appropriation for youthful offenders, be available 
     for this purpose and direct that the solicitation of grant 
     agreements be issued on a timeline that provides for the 
     incorporation of both the fiscal year 2007 and fiscal year 
     2008 contributions to the enhanced effort to assist 
     persistently dangerous schools in mentoring efforts to 
     prevent youth violence in high crime areas.
       For the Denali Commission, the conference agreement 
     provides $6,875,000 as proposed by the Senate for job 
     training services. The House did not include funds for this 
     activity.
       The conference agreement does not include the $49,000,000 
     undistributed reduction in training and employment services 
     as proposed by the House. The Senate bill had no similar 
     provision.
       The conference agreement includes a rescission of 
     $245,000,000 in prior year Workforce Investment Act 
     unexpended balances for the Youth, Adult and Dislocated 
     Worker formula programs. The House bill contained a 
     $335,000,000 rescission of prior year training and employment 
     service balances, while the Senate bill had no similar 
     provision. The conferees direct the Secretary to target the 
     rescission within each funding stream so that the first funds 
     subject to recapture are those program year 2005 and 2006 
     funds carried in to program year 2007 that are in excess of 
     30 percent of funds available in program year 2006 as of June 
     30, 2007. To arrive at the total amount within each funding 
     stream, the balance of the rescission should be based on each 
     State's remaining unexpended fiscal year 2005 and 2006 
     balances as of June 30, 2007, after adjusting those balances 
     by any excess carryout identified in the first calculation. 
     In addition, within each funding stream, the conferees direct 
     that the Secretary ensure that the amounts rescinded within 
     each State shall be from funds reserved for Statewide 
     activities, and funds related to each local area, in 
     proportion to the extent to which these balances, 
     respectively, contributed to the amount to be rescinded in 
     the State. Consistent with these specifications, the 
     conferees direct the Secretary to carry out the rescission in 
     a manner that will minimize burdens on States and local 
     areas. To achieve that goal, the conferees further direct 
     that it is intended that the requirements of sections 128, 
     133 and 134(a)(3)(B) of WIA relating to cost limits and to 
     the applicable percentages of funds that may be used for 
     Statewide activities, rapid response, and allocations to 
     local areas, be applied by the Secretary only with respect to 
     the initial allotments received by the State from fiscal year 
     2005 and 2006 funds and that those requirements are not 
     intended to be applied based on the amounts remaining 
     available to the States after this rescission has been 
     carried out.

            community service employment for older americans

       The conference agreement includes $530,900,000 for 
     Community Service Employment for Older Americans as proposed 
     by the House, instead of $483,611,000 as proposed by the 
     Senate. This amount covers the second increment of the 
     Federal minimum wage increase, from $5.85 to $6.55 an hour, 
     for program participants.


     state unemployment insurance and employment service operations

       The conference agreement includes $3,377,506,000 for State 
     Unemployment Insurance and Employment Service Operations, 
     instead of $3,382,614,000 as proposed by the House and 
     $3,386,632,000 as proposed by the Senate. The detailed table 
     at the end of this joint statement reflects the activity 
     distribution agreed to by the conferees.
       The conference agreement includes language not included in 
     the House or Senate bills that allows the Secretary of Labor 
     to make payments on behalf of the States for matching 
     Unemployment Insurance (UI) claims information against the 
     information in the National Directory of New Hires to 
     prevent, detect, and collect improper UI payments. States are 
     required to reimburse the Department of Health and Human 
     Services (HHS) for the reasonable costs incurred in providing 
     the information. Allowing the Secretary to aggregate such 
     amounts and provide a payment to HHS covering the costs of 
     all States will not affect the share of UI administrative 
     funds available to each State, but will provide a more cost-
     effective means through which the required reimbursements are 
     to be paid.
       For Employment Service grants to States, the conference 
     agreement includes $715,883,000 as proposed by the Senate, 
     instead of $725,883,000 as proposed by the House. This 
     includes $22,883,000 in general funds and $693,000,000 from 
     the Unemployment Trust Fund. For Employment Service 
     National Activities, the conference agreement includes 
     $32,766,000 as proposed by the House instead of 
     $34,000,000 as proposed by the Senate. This includes 
     $12,740,000 for foreign labor certification programs.
       For workforce information, national electronic tools and 
     one-stop system building, the conference agreement provides 
     $52,985,000 as proposed by the House, instead of $55,985,000 
     as proposed by the Senate. Within this amount, the conferees 
     direct that workforce information grants to the States be 
     funded at no less than $32,430,000 as proposed by the House.
       For Work Incentive Grants, the conference report provides 
     $14,649,000 instead of $9,757,000 as proposed by the House 
     and $19,541,000 as proposed by the Senate. The conferees 
     direct the Department to ensure that all States that wish to 
     participate in this program receive funding for new or 
     continuation grants to support their disability navigator 
     programs.


                         program administration

       The conference agreement includes $176,662,000 for Program 
     Administration, instead of $170,500,000 as proposed by the 
     House and $185,505,000 as proposed by the Senate. The 
     detailed table at the end of this joint statement reflects 
     the activity distribution agreed to by the conferees. Within 
     the amount for employment security activities, the conference 
     agreement includes not less than $43,500,000 to improve the 
     timeliness and quality of processing applications under the 
     foreign labor certification program.

               Employee Benefits Security Administration


                         salaries and expenses

       The conference agreement includes $142,925,000 for the 
     Employee Benefits Security Administration, as proposed by the 
     House instead of $143,262,000 as proposed by the Senate. The 
     detailed table at the end of this joint statement reflects 
     the activity distribution agreed to by the conferees. The 
     conferees request a briefing on the schedule for the 
     completion of the EFAST2 system prior to the announcement of 
     the availability of funds for its development and regular 
     progress reports on this project. The conferees are also in 
     agreement that EBSA should devote resources to the issuance 
     of regulations on meaningful and uniform reporting of 401(k) 
     fees and that a national education program on 401(k) 
     investment options, fees and conflict of interest be created 
     as described in House Report 110-231.

                  Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation


               pension benefit guaranty corporation fund

       The conference agreement includes $411,151,000 for the 
     administrative expenses of the Pension Benefit Guaranty 
     Corporation, as proposed by both the House and the Senate. 
     The conference agreement includes language in the House bill 
     providing for workload driven increases in management fees 
     based on increases in assets received by the Corporation as a 
     result of new plan terminations, after approval by the Office 
     of Management and Budget and notification of the Committees 
     on Appropriations of the House of Representatives and the 
     Senate.

                  Employment Standards Administration


                         salaries and expenses

       The conference agreement includes $437,508,000 for the 
     Employment Standards Administration, salaries and expenses, 
     instead of $436,508,000 as proposed by the House and 
     $438,508,000 as proposed by the Senate. The detailed table at 
     the end of this joint statement reflects the activity 
     distribution agreed to by the conferees.
       For the enforcement of wage and hour standards, the 
     conference agreement provides $183,365,000, instead of 
     $182,365,000 as proposed by the House and $184,365,000 as 
     proposed by the Senate. The additional $1,000,000 is provided 
     for accelerating start-up of a system to resolve claims of 
     injury caused by asbestos exposure. If the authority for an 
     asbestos claims program is not enacted by June 30, 2008, 
     these additional funds may be used to support wage and hour 
     enforcement in low wage industries.
       The conference agreement includes a rescission of 
     $102,000,000 in unobligated funds collected pursuant to 
     section 286(v) of the Immigration and Nationality Act. The 
     House and the Senate proposed a rescission of $70,000,000; 
     however, information received from the Department of Labor 
     indicates that receipts in this account allow a higher amount 
     to be rescinded while still ensuring that the $5,500,000 the 
     Department estimates it will use in fiscal year 2008 under 
     current authority remains available.

               Administrative Expenses, Energy Employees


                 occupational illness compensation fund

                     (including transfer of funds)

       Within the total provided, the conference agreement 
     includes a proviso transferring $4,500,000 to the National 
     Institute for Occupational Safety and Health for use by the 
     Advisory Board on Radiation and Worker Health. While both the 
     House and the Senate included this provision, the House 
     report specified that the amount be in addition to 
     $55,358,000 identified for transfer to the Department of 
     Health and Human Services. The conferees clarify that the 
     $4,500,000 for the Advisory Board on Radiation and Worker 
     Health is a part of the total transfer amount. The Board is a 
     key component of the administration of the program at NIOSH 
     and the conferees expect that it will be funded at the 
     level provided for in the conference agreement.

             Occupational Safety and Health Administration


                         salaries and expenses

       The conference agreement includes $500,568,000 for the 
     Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), instead 
     of $503,516,000 as proposed by the House and $498,445,000 as 
     proposed by the Senate. The detailed table at the end of this 
     joint statement reflects the activity distribution agreed to 
     by the conferees.
       For Federal Enforcement, the conference agreement includes 
     $190,128,000 as proposed by the House, instead of 
     $188,005,000 as proposed by the Senate, and for Federal 
     Compliance Assistance, the conference agreement includes 
     $72,659,000 as proposed by the Senate, instead of $75,566,000 
     as proposed by the House. The conferees believe that it is 
     important to rebuild the Federal enforcement capacity of OSHA 
     and that the agency should collect data needed to evaluate 
     the effectiveness of voluntary compliance programs before 
     additional investments are made to support this approach.
       The conference agreement includes language proposed by the 
     House requiring the Secretary of Labor to provide detailed 
     reports on the development and issuance of certain 
     occupational safety and health standards that have remained 
     on the OSHA regulatory agenda without completion. The Senate 
     had a similar provision in its report, but not in the bill.
       The conferees are concerned that the Department has failed 
     to make sufficient progress on its comprehensive plan to 
     address ergonomic injuries and requests that a report be 
     provided to the Committees on Appropriations of the House of 
     Representatives and the Senate within 30 days of enactment of 
     this Act detailing the specific steps it will take to 
     complete the issuance of all 16 industry guidelines. In 
     addition to a timetable for the completion of the industry 
     guidelines, the report should contain OSHA's plans for 
     increased enforcement on ergonomic and musculoskeletal 
     injuries.
       The conferees are also concerned by OSHA's lack of action 
     to ensure that health care workers and emergency responders 
     will be adequately protected in the event of an influenza 
     pandemic. The conferees note that the Department believes 
     that in order to issue an emergency standard to protect these 
     workers, the United States needs to be in the midst of an 
     influenza pandemic and urges reconsideration of the standard-
     setting actions that can be taken on an emergency or 
     expedited basis. Within 30 days of enactment of this Act, the 
     conferees request a report to the Committees on 
     Appropriations of the House of Representatives and the Senate 
     detailing the timeline for developing and issuing a standard.
       The conferees are also concerned by the inadequate response 
     to the serious health hazards posed by industrial exposure to 
     the chemical diacetyl, a butter flavoring agent used in 
     microwave popcorn and other foods. Despite documented cases 
     of a debilitating and potentially fatal lung disease, OSHA 
     has not moved swiftly enough to protect workers from this 
     hazard. The conferees urge OSHA to reconsider its decision 
     concerning an emergency standard, and direct that at a 
     minimum a permanent standard should be developed on an 
     expedited basis. Within 30 days of enactment of this Act, the 
     conferees expect OSHA to provide a report to the Committees 
     on Appropriations of the House of Representatives and the 
     Senate detailing its anticipated timeline for issuing such a

[[Page H12512]]

     standard, as well as providing the details of a national 
     emphasis program that will extend enforcement activities to 
     all food manufacturing and flavoring plants where diacetyl is 
     used.

                 Mine Safety and Health Administration


                         salaries and expenses

       The conference agreement includes $339,893,000 for the Mine 
     Safety and Health Administration (MSHA), instead of 
     $340,028,000 as proposed by the Senate or $313,478,000 as 
     proposed by the House. The detailed table at the end of this 
     joint statement reflects the activity distribution agreed to 
     by the conferees.
       The conferees are disturbed that MSHA has fallen 
     significantly short of its obligation to complete 100 percent 
     of regular inspections of coal mines, as required by law. In 
     2006, almost 5 of every 100 regular inspections nationally 
     were not completed. In some districts, the rates were close 
     to 15 or 20 of every 100 inspections that were not completed. 
     The conferees find these results unacceptable.
       The conference agreement provides MSHA with an increase of 
     $37,024,000 over fiscal year 2007 resources to ensure that 
     MSHA can carry out its legal obligations to regularly inspect 
     our nation's coal mines. Together with increased funding for 
     standards development, educational policy and development, 
     and technical support, the conferees believe that the 
     additional funds provided are sufficient to ensure that MSHA 
     completes all of its inspection responsibilities, as well as 
     complies with other statutory requirements of this Act and 
     the MINER Act.
       The conferees direct that, not later than 30 days after 
     enactment of this Act, MSHA provide to the Committees on 
     Appropriations of the House of Representatives and the Senate 
     a detailed operating plan describing how these funds will be 
     utilized and the specific outcomes that will be achieved. The 
     conferees concur with Senate Report 110-107 regarding the 
     priority use of these additional funds and expect MSHA to 
     adhere to these when preparing the required operating plan.
       Within the amount provided for MSHA Program Administration, 
     the conference agreement includes $2,200,000 for a national 
     project award to the United Mine Workers of America for 
     classroom and simulated rescue training for mine rescue 
     teams, and $1,215,000 for the Wheeling Jesuit University 
     National Technology Transfer Center.

                       Bureau of Labor Statistics


                         salaries and expenses

       The conference agreement includes $566,804,000 for the 
     Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), instead of $576,118,000 as 
     proposed by the House and $560,000,000 as proposed by the 
     Senate. The detailed table at the end of this joint statement 
     reflects the activity distribution agreed to by the 
     conferees.
       The conference agreement includes $185,796,000 for Prices 
     and Cost of Living, instead of $192,599,000 as proposed by 
     the House and $178,992,000 as proposed by the Senate. The 
     conferees expect that the increase above fiscal year 2007 
     will be used for continuous updating of the housing and 
     geographic area samples of the Consumer Price Index (CPI). 
     The conference agreement does not include $450,000 as 
     proposed by the House to begin the development of a 
     methodology to determine cost of living by State. The Senate 
     did not include a similar provision.
        Included in the amount for Compensation and Working 
     Conditions is $1,000,000 to conduct focused research studies 
     on work-related injuries and illnesses as proposed by the 
     Senate, instead of $1,225,000 as proposed by the House for 
     this purpose.
       The conferees are interested in ascertaining the impact of 
     the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) on employment 
     in the United States. When NAFTA was debated in the U.S. 
     Congress, there were estimates that implementation of the 
     agreement would result in the net creation of 200,000 new 
     U.S. jobs, and that job losses in the United States as a 
     consequence of NAFTA would be concentrated in low-skill 
     sectors. The conferees direct the Department of Labor, 
     through BLS, to issue a report within 365 days of enactment 
     of this Act, assessing the number of U.S. jobs, on an 
     industry-by-industry basis, that were created as a 
     consequence of NAFTA, and the number of U.S. jobs, on an 
     industry-by-industry basis, that were lost as a consequence 
     of NAFTA. The study should encompass the period from the date 
     of implementation of NAFTA to December 31, 2007. Neither the 
     House nor Senate report contained similar language.

                 Office of Disability Employment Policy


                         salaries and expenses

       The conference agreement includes $27,712,000 for the 
     Office of Disability Employment Policy (ODEP), as proposed by 
     the House and the Senate. The conferees intend that at least 
     80 percent of these funds shall be used to design and 
     implement research and technical assistance grants and 
     contracts to develop policy that reduces barriers to 
     employment for youth and adults with disabilities.
       The conferees are concerned by the lack of available 
     information regarding the extent to which effective 
     disability employment policy developed by the ODEP has been 
     implemented within the Department of Labor and by other 
     Federal agencies whose programs provide services to all job 
     seekers and workers, including those with disabilities. 
     Therefore, the conferees direct the Secretary of Labor, 
     working through the Assistant Secretary for Disability 
     Employment Policy, to provide a report to the Committees on 
     Appropriations of the House of Representatives and the 
     Senate. This report shall be provided to the Committees and 
     published on the Department's web site no later than June 30, 
     2008.
       The conferees expect this report to identify and recommend 
     policies the ODEP has developed during its history that have 
     been or should be implemented within the Department of Labor 
     or by other relevant Federal agencies. Further, the report 
     should describe the cause-and-effect relationship that these 
     policies have had on reducing barriers to employment for 
     adults and youth with disabilities. The conferees also 
     request that the report summarize how funds have been spent 
     by ODEP since its inception. The conferees expect the report 
     to show how ODEP has utilized its resources, including on 
     staff expertise, grants, and contracts, to develop policy to 
     reduce barriers to employment.

                        Departmental Management


                         salaries and expenses

       The conference agreement includes $305,174,000 for 
     Departmental Management, salaries and expenses, instead of 
     $272,595,000 as proposed by the House and $313,218,000 as 
     proposed by the Senate. The undistributed reductions in both 
     the House and Senate bills are not included. The detailed 
     table at the end of this joint statement reflects the 
     activity distribution agreed to by the conferees.
       The conference agreement includes $82,516,000 as proposed 
     by the Senate for the International Bureau of Labor Affairs 
     (ILAB), instead of $72,516,000 as proposed by the House. 
     Within this amount, the conference agreement contains 
     $5,000,000 as proposed in the House bill to implement model 
     programs to address worker rights through technical 
     assistance in countries with which the United States has 
     trade preference programs and directs that this activity be 
     carried out through a cooperative agreement with an 
     international organization that has experience in working to 
     assure adherence to a set of core labor standards through 
     work with governments, employers and labor. The Senate had no 
     similar provision. The conferees' recommendation for ILAB 
     also includes $41,000,000 for the U.S. contribution to the 
     International Program for the Elimination of Child Labor and 
     $24,000,000 for bilateral assistance to improve access to 
     basic education in international areas with a high rate of 
     abusive and exploitative child labor. The Senate provided 
     $42,610,000 and $26,770,000 respectively for these 
     activities. The House had no similar provisions.
       The conferees are deeply concerned about the recent 
     discovery of abusive and exploitative child labor by a 
     subcontractor based in India embroidering women's garments 
     for a major U.S. apparel company. These children, some as 
     young as ten, were forced from their parents, denied wages, 
     forced to work long hours, and forced to live in squalor. 
     Official Indian government estimates indicate that there are 
     around 12 million children working in hazardous conditions. 
     However, non-governmental organizations working on 
     eradicating child labor believe that there are close to 60 
     million child laborers, including approximately 10 million 
     child bonded laborers. While this major U.S. apparel company 
     has 90 inspectors that travel around the world trying to 
     ensure that their codes of conduct are not violated, it is a 
     difficult and daunting task given the high prevalence of 
     exploitative child labor and the non-existence of an industry 
     wide monitoring system for the garment industry in India. 
     Therefore, the conferees direct the Department to work with 
     the International Labor Organization in an effort to 
     implement standards similar to those used in the Cambodian 
     and Bangladeshi garment industries to ensure that U.S. 
     consumer products are not made by abusive child labor in 
     violation of local and international standards.
       The conference agreement provides $20,000,000 for 
     information technology systems, instead of $18,000,000 as 
     proposed by the House and $22,000,000 as proposed by the 
     Senate. These funds support information technology, 
     architecture, infrastructure, equipment and software utilized 
     by multiple agencies within the Department. The conferees 
     support the use of a portion of such funds for the 
     acquisition of a Financial Management System for the 
     Department of Labor. The President's request to Congress 
     included $12,000,000 as a direct appropriation to the Working 
     Capital Fund for this initiative.
       The conference agreement includes $95,050,000 for the 
     Office of the Solicitor, instead of $94,937,000 as proposed 
     by the House and $95,162,000 as proposed by the Senate. The 
     conferees intend that the increased funding level support no 
     less than an increase of 19 FTEs over the fiscal year 2007 
     staffing level for enforcement support for the Mine Safety 
     and Health Administration, as specified by the Senate report. 
     The House had no similar language.
       For the Women's Bureau, the conference agreement includes 
     $10,300,000 as proposed by the Senate, instead of $10,500,000 
     as proposed by the House. The conferees encourage continued 
     funding for national networks for women's employment that 
     advance women in the workplace through education and 
     advocacy.


                          office of job corps

       The conference agreement funds this program within the 
     Office of the Secretary as proposed by the House and the 
     Senate. This reflects the current organizational status of

[[Page H12513]]

     the program, and the funds for the administration of this 
     program are included in this account instead of within 
     program administration for the Employment and Training 
     Administration, as indicated in the detailed table at the end 
     of this joint statement.
       The conference agreement includes $1,650,516,000 for the 
     Office of Job Corps, instead of $1,649,476,000 as proposed by 
     the House and $1,659,872,000 as provided by the Senate. 
     Within the total, $1,507,684,000 is provided for continuing 
     operations of the program, as proposed by the House, instead 
     of $1,516,000,000 as proposed by the Senate. For renovation 
     and construction of Job Corps centers, the conference 
     agreement includes $113,960,000, instead of $112,920,000 as 
     proposed by the House and $115,000,000 as proposed by the 
     Senate. The conference agreement does not include the 
     designation of funds for a competition to increase child care 
     development centers on Job Corps campuses as proposed by the 
     House, and instead designates the $13,960,000 above the 
     request for renovation and construction for the continued 
     development of new Job Corps centers that have been 
     awarded and are not yet completed. The conferees request 
     that the Department of Labor include an analysis of the 
     future funding needs of all new centers in development and 
     a progress report on the timeline for opening new centers 
     in its fiscal year 2009 budget justification, as proposed 
     by the Senate.
       The conference agreement includes bill language proposed by 
     the Senate requiring that none of the funds in the Act be 
     used to reduce student training slots below 44,791 in program 
     year 2008. This slot level and the funds provided will 
     support the maintenance of student training services at 
     existing Job Corps centers, as well as provide for new 
     centers scheduled to open in program year 2008. The House 
     bill contained a similar provision.


                    veterans employment and training

       The conference agreement contains $228,198,000 for Veterans 
     Employment and Training, as proposed by the House instead of 
     $231,198,000 as proposed by the Senate. The conferees 
     encourage the Department to direct additional funds to the 
     Transition Assistance Program, which will ensure that the 
     increasing demand for services is met. The conferees also 
     expect the Department to increase enforcement activities to 
     ensure that veterans' rights under the Uniformed Service 
     Employment and Re-Employment Rights Act and Veterans 
     Employment Opportunities Act are being protected.


                      office of inspector general

       The conference agreement includes $78,658,000 for the 
     Office of Inspector General as proposed by the House instead 
     of $79,658,000 as proposed by the Senate.

                           General Provisions


                           job corps salaries

       The conference agreement includes language that prohibits 
     the use of funds for the Job Corps program to pay the salary 
     of any individual, either as direct costs or any pro-ration 
     as an indirect cost, at a rate in excess of Executive Level 
     I, as proposed by the Senate. The House included a similar 
     provision in the Job Corps account.


                     one percent transfer authority

                          (transfer of funds)

       The conference agreement includes a provision limiting the 
     authority to transfer funds between a program, project or 
     activity and requiring a 15 day advance notification of any 
     such request. Both the House and Senate bills contained 
     similar provisions.


                           transit subsidies

       The conference agreement includes a provision requiring the 
     Secretary of Labor to issue a monthly transit subsidy at the 
     full amount of $110 for eligible employees in the National 
     Capital Region, as proposed by the House. The Senate bill 
     contained no similar provision.


                             operating plan

       The conference agreement includes a provision prohibiting 
     the obligation of funds for demonstration, pilot, 
     multiservice, research and multistate projects under section 
     171 of the Workforce Investment Act prior to the submission 
     of a report on the planned use of such funds, as proposed by 
     the House. The Senate had a similar provision requiring an 
     operating plan for the use of such funds. The conferees 
     expect that the operating report on the use of such funds 
     will be provided not later than July 1, 2008, and direct the 
     Department to continue to submit quarterly reports to the 
     House and Senate Appropriations Committees on the status of 
     awards made for pilot, demonstration, multiservice, research, 
     and multistate projects under section 171 of the Workforce 
     Investment Act. These quarterly reports shall be submitted no 
     later than 45 days after the end of each quarter and shall 
     include a list of all awards made during the quarter, and for 
     each award, the grantee or contractor, the amount of the 
     award, the funding source for the award, whether the award 
     was made competitively or by sole source and, if sole source, 
     the justification, the purpose of the award and expected 
     outcomes.


                           denali commission

       The conference agreement includes a provision, as proposed 
     by the Senate that authorizes such sums as may be necessary 
     to the Denali Commission to conduct job training where Denali 
     Commission projects will be constructed. The House bill 
     contained no similar provision.


                     grants using h-1b visa revenue

       The conference agreement includes a provision proposed by 
     the House that prohibits the use of the funds available to 
     the Department under section 414(c) of the American 
     Competitiveness and Workforce Improvement Act for other than 
     training in the occupations and industries for which 
     employers are using the visas to hire foreign workers that 
     generate these funds. The conferees expect that these 
     activities will include industry career ladder programs and 
     understand that there are some related activities that 
     enhance or facilitate training programs that are part of a 
     coordinated industry approach. The conference agreement 
     provides that this limitation shall not apply to multi-year 
     grants that have already been awarded under competitive 
     solicitations issued prior to April 15, 2007. The 
     conferees understand one additional round of Workforce 
     Innovation in Regional Economic Development (WIRED) grants 
     that would qualify under this limitation was awarded in 
     June 2007. The Senate bill contained no similar provision.


              health coverage tax credit gap-filler grants

       The conference agreement does not include a provision 
     included in the House bill authorizing up to $20,000,000 in 
     revenue available to the Department under section 414 (c) of 
     the American Competitiveness and Workforce Improvement Act to 
     be used for ``gap-filler'' grants to trade-impacted workers 
     awaiting certification for the Health Coverage Tax Credit. 
     The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The conferees 
     expect the Department of Labor to make grants available to 
     States from the Dislocated Worker National Reserve for this 
     purpose and to increase outreach to trade-impacted workers to 
     inform them of their eligibility for the Health Coverage Tax 
     Credit.


                           competitive grants

       The conference report includes a provision prohibiting 
     Community-Based Job Training grants and grants authorized 
     under section 414(c) of the American Competitiveness and 
     Workforce Improvement Act from being awarded on a non-
     competitive basis. Both the House and Senate bills included 
     similar provisions.


    administrative cost definition and redesignation of local areas

       The conference agreement includes a provision requiring 
     that the Secretary of Labor take no action to amend the 
     definition established in 20 CFR 667.220 for functions and 
     activities under title I of the Workforce Investment Act of 
     1998 or to modify the procedure for designation of local 
     areas as specified in that Act until such time as legislation 
     reauthorizing the Act is enacted, as proposed by the Senate. 
     The House bill contained a similar provision.


                     personal protective equipment

       The conference agreement includes a provision as proposed 
     by the House requiring the Secretary of Labor to promulgate a 
     final regulation on personal protective equipment no later 
     than November 30, 2007. The Occupational Safety and Health 
     Administration (OSHA) made a commitment in Federal court to 
     issue a final rule by this date. The Senate addressed this 
     issue in report language.


                        mine safety regulations

       The conference agreement includes language requiring 
     specific dates by which the Secretary of Labor propose, and 
     subsequently finalize, mine safety regulations regarding belt 
     haulage entries and rescue chambers in coal mines, and makes 
     additional requirements for review of mine ventilation plans. 
     The Senate bill included a similar provision, while the House 
     bill did not include such a provision.


                          salaries and bonuses

       The conference agreement includes a provision proposed by 
     the Senate that prohibits grantees from using funds 
     appropriated for the Employment and Training Administration 
     to pay the salary and bonuses of an individual at a rate in 
     excess of Executive Level II. The House bill contained no 
     similar provision.


                          mine safety funding

       The conference agreement does not include a general 
     provision proposed by the Senate providing additional funding 
     for necessary expenses for the Mine Safety and Health 
     Administration (MSHA). Funding for MSHA activities are 
     included under the heading for this agency. The House bill 
     contained no similar provision.


                       niosh fire fighter program

       The conference agreement does not include a general 
     provision proposed by the Senate providing that $5,000,000 be 
     available in Title I for the National Institute for 
     Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) to carry out the Fire 
     Fighter Fatality Investigation and Preventions Program. 
     Funding for this activity is included within the funds made 
     available to NIOSH in Title II. The House bill contained no

     Treatment Modernization Act, to be available through 
     September 30, 2010, instead of $1,865,800,000 as proposed by 
     the House and $1,829,511,000 as proposed by the Senate.
       The conference agreement includes bill language similar to 
     that proposed by the House limiting 2007 program year 
     reductions in Ryan White Part A grants for metropolitan areas 
     to 8.4 percent and for transitional areas to 13.4 percent. 
     The Senate bill did not have a similar provision.
       The conference agreement includes bill language designating 
     $103,666,000 out of the funds provided for the maternal and 
     child health block grant to be for special projects of 
     regional and national significance (SPRANS). The Senate bill 
     provided $95,936,920 for this purpose; the House provided 
     $170,991,000.
       The conference agreement designates in bill language 
     $10,586,000 of funds provided for the block grant for 
     Community Integrated Service Systems (CISS) activities as 
     proposed by the Senate. The House did not designate funds for 
     CISS grants in bill language.
       The conference agreement includes bill language as proposed 
     by the Senate providing $39,283,000 to the Denali Commission 
     as a direct lump payment pursuant to P.L. 106-113. The House 
     did not include funding for the Commission.
       The conference agreement includes bill language providing 
     $25,000,000 for the Delta Health Initiative and associated 
     administrative expenses as proposed by the Senate. The House 
     had no similar provision. The conference agreement includes 
     bill language proposed by the Senate that identifies not less 
     than $5,000,000 for general dentistry programs, not less than 
     $5,000,000 for pediatric dentistry programs, and not less 
     than $24,614,000 for family medicine programs.
       The conference agreement does not include bill language 
     proposed by the Senate that would modify the current rules 
     for managing facility and equipment projects. The House bill 
     did not include a similar provision.
       The conferees support continued efforts to expand the 
     community health centers program into areas of the country 
     without access to a health center, but urge HRSA not to 
     allocate new funding according to certain geographic areas, 
     such as counties.
       The conference agreement provides $14,200,000 for Native 
     Hawaiian health care activities within the consolidated 
     health centers program as proposed by the Senate. The House 
     did not identify specific funding for Native Hawaiian 
     activities.
       The conference agreement provides $50,000,000 for 
     competitive State health access grants, instead of 
     $75,000,000 as proposed by the House, for the same purposes 
     as indicated in the House report. The Senate had no similar 
     provision.
       The conferees restate the intention in the Senate report 
     that National Health Service Corps recruitment funds should 
     be used only to support multi-year, rather than single year, 
     commitments.
       The conference agreement provides $8,960,000 for allied 
     health training programs, of which $5,000,000 is for grants 
     to States authorized under section 340G of the Public Health 
     Service Act to improve access to dental care, $1,980,000 is 
     allocated to the chiropractic-medical school demonstration 
     grants, and $1,980,000 is designated for the psychology 
     training program. The Senate provided $7,960,000 for allied 
     health programs and the House provided $3,960,000.
       The conferees have included $6,700,000 for resources to 
     help women preparing for childbirth and first-time parents. 
     Within this amount, the conferees intend that $5,200,000 
     shall be for grants to States to increase public awareness of 
     resources available to women preparing for childbirth and 
     new parents through advertising campaigns and toll-free 
     hotlines. The House provided $15,000,000 for this 
     activity, which was not funded by the Senate. In addition, 
     $1,500,000 shall be for grants to organizations to support 
     and expand community-based doula activities, including 
     technical assistance, as proposed by the Senate. The House 
     had not funded this activity.
       In addition, $5,000,000 of the SPRANS amount will be used 
     to continue oral health demonstration programs and activities 
     in the States, instead of $4,801,500 as proposed by the 
     Senate. The House proposed $12,000,000 for oral health 
     activities including these oral health demonstrations as well 
     as State grants under section 340G of the Public Health 
     Service Act. In addition to this SPRANS funding, the 
     conferees have provided $5,000,000 for section 340G State 
     grants within allied health.
       The conference agreement also includes within the SPRANS 
     set-aside $4,000,000 to continue epilepsy demonstrations 
     instead of $5,800,000 as proposed by the House and $2,880,900 
     as proposed by the Senate.
       The conference agreement includes $4,000,000 within SPRANS 
     to continue the sickle cell newborn screening program and its 
     locally based outreach and counseling efforts, as proposed by 
     the House. The Senate proposed $3,841,200 for this program.
       The conference agreement provides $3,000,000 within the 
     SPRANS set-aside to continue newborn and child screening for 
     heritable disorders instead of $3,800,000 as proposed by the 
     House and $1,920,600 as proposed by the Senate.
       The conference agreement provides $37,000,000 for a 
     separate program for autism and other related developmental 
     disorders, as proposed by the Senate. The House proposed 
     $30,000,000 within the Maternal and Child Health block grant 
     SPRANS set-aside for these activities. The conferees intend 
     that no less than $6,000,000 be used to continue and expand 
     the Leadership Education in Neurodevelopmental and Related 
     Disabilities program. In addition, no less than $6,000,000 is 
     provided for research on evidence-based practices for 
     interventions for individuals with autism and other 
     developmental disabilities, for development of guidelines for 
     those interventions, and for information dissemination.
       The conferees provide $1,000,000 for a fetal alcohol 
     syndrome demonstration program instead of $990,000 as 
     proposed by the Senate. The House did not include funding for 
     this activity.
       The conferees identify $3,200,000 within traumatic brain 
     injury funding for protection and advocacy services, instead 
     of $3,400,000 identified in the Senate report. The House 
     report did not have similar language.
       The conferees are pleased that HRSA intends to allocate the 
     maximum authorized level for the minority AIDS initiative 
     within the Ryan White HIV programs.
       The conferees intend that at least fifty percent of the 
     increase within the Ryan White children, youth, women, and 
     families programs be used to increase average grant award 
     size.
       The conferees are aware that HRSA has issued proposed 
     regulations revising the requirements for the 340B drug 
     purchasing program. While there are important elements in the 
     regulations that target abuses of the program, the conferees 
     believe there are legitimate concerns regarding the 
     implementation of the proposed rule's definition of patient 
     eligibility. The questions of eligibility and the means by 
     which eligibility is determined are important and should be 
     carefully considered. Therefore, the conferees urge HRSA to 
     move quickly to implement the portions of the regulation that 
     enjoy wide support and consider re-opening the patient 
     eligibility question for an additional public comment period. 
     The House and Senate included similar report language.
       The conference agreement includes $38,538,000 for rural 
     flexibility grants as proposed by the Senate rather than 
     $63,538,000 as proposed by the House, and provides 
     $15,000,000 within the total for the small rural hospital 
     improvement grant program as proposed by the Senate.
       The conferees concur with guidance in the Senate report 
     about the 2006 Delta health initiative satisfying the 
     requirements of the authorization provided in section 219. 
     The House report did not contain similar language.
       The conference agreement includes $2,500,000 for rural and 
     community access to emergency devices, of which $200,000 
     shall be used to establish an information clearinghouse that 
     provides information to increase public access to 
     defibrillation in schools, as proposed by the Senate. The 
     House provided $2,000,000 for this program, while the Senate 
     provided $3,000,000. The conferees intend that funding for 
     emergency devices be divided equally between urban and rural 
     communities, as proposed by the Senate.
       The conferees note that many rural hospitals are working to 
     implement systems to transmit medical information 
     electronically to help deliver efficient and effective health 
     care services to their patients. The conferees hope that HRSA 
     will continue to examine ways to help such hospitals 
     implement digital technologies, such as picture archiving 
     communications systems and other digital technologies.
       The conference agreement includes $143,596,000 for program 
     management instead of $142,191,000 as provided by the House 
     and $145,000,000 as provided by the Senate. The conferees 
     expect HRSA to use no more than one percent of the funds 
     allocated for projects for agency administrative expenses.


             Vaccine Injury Compensation Program Trust Fund

       The conference agreement provides $6,000,000 for 
     administration for the Trust Fund instead of $3,528,000 as 
     proposed by both the House and the Senate. These funds are 
     necessary to support the adjudication of an expected high 
     volume of claims.

               Centers for Disease Control and Prevention


                Disease Control, Research, and Training

       The conference agreement includes $6,288,289,000 for 
     disease control, research, and training at the Centers for 
     Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), instead of 
     $6,138,253,000 as proposed by the House and $6,165,338,000 as 
     proposed by the Senate. In addition, $327,022,000 is made 
     available under section 241 of the Public Health Service 
     (PHS) Act, instead of $319,579,000 as proposed by the House 
     and $269,664,000 as proposed by

[[Page H12523]]

     the Senate. The detailed table at the end of this joint 
     statement reflects the activity distribution agreed to by the 
     conferees.
       The conference agreement includes bill language designating 
     $147,000,000 for equipment, construction, and renovation of 
     facilities, instead of $10,500,000 as proposed by the House 
     and $220,000,000 as proposed by the Senate. The conference 
     agreement includes bill language to allow CDC to enter into a 
     single contract or related contracts for the full scope of 
     development and construction of facilities and that the 
     solicitation and contract shall contain the clause 
     ``availability of funds'' as proposed by the Senate. The 
     House did not propose similar language. The level provided 
     includes sufficient funds for the completion of building 24 
     and for other nationwide repairs and improvements.
       The conference agreement includes bill language designating 
     $52,500,000 to provide screening and treatment for first 
     response emergency services personnel, residents, students, 
     and others related to the September 11, 2001 terrorist 
     attacks on the World Trade Center. The conferees intend that 
     this program be administered by the National Institute of 
     Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). The House had 
     proposed $50,000,000 in CDC for first response emergency 
     personnel only and the Senate had proposed $55,000,000 in the 
     Public Health and Social Services Emergency Fund (PHSSEF) to 
     be transferred to CDC for responders, residents, students and 
     others.
       The conference agreement includes bill language designating 
     $116,550,000 for the National Center for Health Statistics 
     surveys to be available through the evaluation set-aside 
     authorized by section 241 of the PHS Act, instead of 
     $120,000,000 as proposed by the House and $108,585,000 as 
     proposed by the Senate. Also within the set-aside, the 
     conference agreement includes $44,523,000 for Health 
     Marketing instead of $39,173,000 as proposed by the House and 
     $463,000 for health marketing evaluations as proposed by the 
     Senate and $97,404,000 to carry out research activities 
     within the National Occupational Research Agenda instead of 
     $91,861,000 as proposed by the House and $92,071,000 as 
     proposed by the Senate.
       The conference agreement includes bill language that not to 
     exceed $19,414,000 may be available for making grants for the 
     WISEWOMAN program to not less than 15 States, tribes, or 
     tribal organizations. The Senate proposed $19,035,000 in this 
     same manner and the House proposed $12,500,000 to not more 
     than 15 States, tribes, or tribal organizations.
       The conference agreement includes bill language that out of 
     the funds made available for domestic HIV/AIDS testing, up to 
     $30,000,000 shall be for States eligible for the Early 
     Diagnosis Grant Program, authorized by section 2625 of the 
     Public Health Service Act, as of December 31, 2007. Funding 
     for these grants shall be distributed by March 31, 2008 based 
     on standard criteria relating to a State's epidemiological 
     profile and shall not exceed $1,000,000 for any one State. 
     Any amounts that have not been obligated by March 31, 2008 
     shall be used to make grants to States and local public 
     health departments for other HIV prevention activities. The 
     House proposed that no funds appropriated may be used to 
     implement the Early Diagnosis Grant Program and the Senate 
     proposed to allow up to $30,000,000 for the program if 
     States are eligible.
       The conference agreement includes bill language providing 
     that employees of the CDC or the Public Health Service, 
     detailed to States, municipalities, or other organizations 
     under authority of section 214 of the PHS Act or in overseas 
     assignments shall be treated as non-Federal employees for 
     reporting purposes only and shall not be included within any 
     personnel ceiling applicable to the Agency as proposed by the 
     Senate. The House included similar language but did not 
     include employees in overseas assignments.
       The conference agreement includes ongoing pandemic 
     influenza and related activities in the CDC appropriation as 
     proposed by the House. The Senate proposed to fund these 
     activities in PHSSEF to be transferred to CDC.
       The conferees note that in September 2007, CDC realigned 
     its budget through a reprogramming and transfer of funds at 
     the program, project, and activity level. The Secretary 
     communicated his intent that the realignment of funds be 
     permanent. Funding levels proposed in the House- and Senate-
     passed bills did not reflect these changes because the 
     request for reprogramming came after initial House and Senate 
     Committee action on the fiscal year 2008 appropriations 
     bills. Funding levels provided in the conference agreement 
     make the funding realignment permanent. The conferees expect 
     CDC to adhere to enacted funding levels in fiscal year 2008 
     and to not tap or assess program activities for unrelated 
     purposes.


                          Infectious Diseases

       The conference agreement includes $1,848,601,000 for 
     Infectious Diseases, instead of $1,900,508,000 as proposed by

     addition, $12,794,000 is available to carry out National 
     Immunization Surveys to be derived from section 241 
     evaluation set-aside funds as proposed by both the House and 
     Senate.

     Senate. In addition, $2,761,957,000 is included in the

     (VFC) program for vaccine purchases and distribution support 
     for fiscal year 2008.

     Senate. Within this amount, the conference agreement includes 
     $19,733,000 to provide funds to States to increase demand for

     House and $20,000,000 as proposed by the Senate.
       Within the total for immunization and respiratory diseases, 
     $37,272,000 is for influenza activities, instead of

     proposed by the Senate. Within this amount, the conference 
     agreement includes $19,733,000 to develop a repository of

     Senate and $14,849,000 to increase the stock of diagnostic

     proposed by the House and $698,050,000 as proposed by the 
     Senate. Within this total, $53,321,000 is for domestic HIV/
     AIDS testing, instead of $63,000,000 as provided by the House 
     and $45,000,000 as provided by the Senate. Funds are provided 
     for the Early Diagnosis Grant Program within the testing 
     initiative.
       Within the total for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB 
     prevention, the conference agreement includes $18,354,000 for 
     programs addressing viral hepatitis, instead of $18,615,000 
     as proposed by the House and $17,615,000 as proposed by the 
     Senate.
       Within the total for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB

       Within the total for Infectious Diseases, the conference 
     agreement includes $69,188,000 for zoonotic, vector-borne,

     of infectious diseases, the conference agreement includes

     conference agreement provides sufficient resources to 
     continue the Prevention Epicenter Program and to support the

     the Mississippi Delta related to the burden of chronic 
     diseases instead of $2,000,000 as proposed by the Senate. The

     and $211,604,000 as proposed by the Senate;
       $21,197,000 for comprehensive cancer, instead of

     Senate. Also within this amount, $3,167,000 is available to 
     continue and expand the National Lupus Patient Registry to 
     operate seven sites, including a coordinating site. The House 
     proposed $930,000 for lupus-related activities and the Senate 
     proposed $1,430,000. The conferees are concerned by the lack 
     of reliable epidemiological data on the incidence and 
     prevalence of all forms of lupus among various ethnic and 
     racial groups. These sites should have an expertise in lupus 
     epidemiology and represent the geographic regions of the 
     United States that have a sufficient number of individuals of 
     racial and ethnic groups that are disproportionately affected 
     by lupus, principally African Americans, Hispanics/
     Latinos, Asian Americans, and Native Americans.

       $1,000,000, within community health promotion, is for 
     activities related to sleep disorders including CDC's 
     participation in the national sleep awareness roundtable as 
     proposed by the House--the Senate did not propose similar 
     language;
       $1,750,000 for mind-body research, instead of $1,776,000 as 
     proposed by the Senate--the House did not propose funding for 
     this activity;
       $3,403,000 for glaucoma programs, instead of $3,454,000 as

     promotion, and genomics, the conference agreement includes 
     $12,956,000 for oral health programs, instead of $13,140,000 
     as proposed by the House and $11,640,000 as proposed by the 
     Senate.
       Within the total for chronic disease prevention, health 
     promotion, and genomics, the conference agreement includes 
     $29,649,000 for prevention centers, instead of $29,556,000 as 
     proposed by the House and $30,086,000 as proposed by the 
     Senate.

     proposed funding for these activities.
       The conferees are aware of a congenital malformation of the 
     lungs affecting infants, known as alveolar capillary 
     dysplasia (ACD), in which the normal diffusion process of 
     oxygen from the air sacs to the blood in the lungs fails to 
     develop properly. Life expectancy for infants with ACD is 
     extremely short, and anecdotal evidence indicates that ACD is 
     often misdiagnosed. Proper recognition and diagnosis of the 
     disease are essential first steps to obtaining accurate 
     prevalence data for ACD.

     disaster prevention are not abandoned. The conferees concur 
     with language included in the Senate report directing that 
     required progress reports on grant-making and research 
     findings be expanded to research goals such as dust 
     monitoring, roof control, and disaster prevention. The House 
     did not propose such language.
       The conference agreement has included sufficient funds for 
     NIOSH to conduct, in collaboration with the University of 
     Utah and West Virginia University, a study of the recovery of 
     coal pillars through retreat room

[[Page H12526]]

     and pillar mining practices in underground coal mines at 
     depths greater than 1500 feet. The study should examine the 
     safety implications of retreat room and pillar mining 
     practices, with emphasis on the impact of full or partial 
     pillar extraction mining. The study should include, but not 
     be limited to, analyses of (1) the conditions under which 
     retreat mining is used, including conditions relating to seam 
     thickness; depth of cover; strength of the mine roof, 
     pillars, and floor; and the susceptibility of the mine to 
     seismic activity; and (2) the procedures used to ensure miner 
     safety during retreat mining. The conferees direct that not 
     later than two years after beginning the study, NIOSH submit 
     a report containing the results of the study to the 
     Committees on Appropriations of the House of Representatives 
     and the Senate. The report shall include recommendations to 
     enhance the safety of miners working in underground coal 
     mines where retreat mining in room and pillar operations is 
     utilized. Among other things, the recommendations 
     should identify means of adapting any practical technology 
     to the mining environment to improve miner protections 
     during mining at depths greater than 1500 feet, and 
     research needed to develop improved technology to improve 
     miner protections during mining at such depths.

       The conferees encourage NIDDK to conduct hemodialysis

     benefit for patients.


        National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke

       The conference agreement includes $1,578,210,000 for the

     National Institute on Drug Abuse instead of $1,015,559,000 as

                  National Institute of Mental Health

      National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering

     instead of $303,318,000 as proposed by the House and 
     $304,319,000 as proposed by the Senate.


                 National Center for Research Resources

       The conference agreement includes $1,182,015,000 for the 
     National Center for Research Resources instead of 
     $1,171,095,000 as proposed by the House and $1,177,997,000 as 
     proposed by the Senate.
       The conference agreement does not include language proposed 
     by the Senate regarding the prohibition of funds to pay 
     indirect expenses for general research support grants. This 
     provision is no longer necessary. The House bill did not 
     contain a similar provision.
       The agreement provides the Administration request for 
     clinical and translational science awards, with funding split 
     between the Common Fund and NCRR in the same proportions as 
     the Senate-passed bill. The conferees remain supportive of 
     this program as it matures, but are concerned about the 
     abrupt changes in program funding policies implemented in 
     2007.
       The conference agreement provides $224,607,000 for the 
     Institutional Development Award (IDeA) program, rather than 
     $223,607,000 as proposed by the Senate. The House had not 
     identified specific funding for this program.


       National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine

       The conference agreement includes $124,647,000 for the 
     National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine 
     instead of $123,380,000 as proposed by the House and 
     $124,213,000 as proposed by the Senate.


       National Center on Minority Health and Health Disparities

       The conference agreement includes $204,542,000 for the 
     National Center on Minority Health and Health Disparities 
     instead of $202,691,000 as proposed by the House and 
     $203,895,000 as proposed by the Senate.


                  John E. Fogarty International Center

       The conference agreement includes $68,216,000 for the John 
     E. Fogarty International Center instead of $67,599,000 as 
     proposed by the House and $68,000,000 as proposed by the 
     Senate.


                      National Library of Medicine

       The conference agreement provides $329,039,000 for the 
     National Library of Medicine instead of $325,484,000 as 
     proposed by the House and $327,817,000 as proposed by the 
     Senate. In addition, $8,200,000 is provided from section 241 
     authority as proposed by both the House and Senate.


                         Office of the Director

       The conference agreement includes $1,145,790,000 for the 
     Office of the Director as proposed by the Senate instead of 
     $1,114,422,000 as proposed by the House. The bill identifies 
     $531,300,000 for the Common Fund as proposed by the Senate 
     instead of $495,153,000 as proposed by the House. This Common 
     Fund amount represents 1.77 percent of total funding for NIH, 
     meeting the statutory requirement that the Common Fund 
     percentage of the total NIH appropriation at least equal the 
     share of total NIH funding the Common Fund represented during 
     the prior year. In fiscal year 2007, the Common Fund 
     represented 1.67 percent of total NIH funding.
       The conference agreement also provides $25,000,000 in bill 
     language for the flexible research authority authorized in 
     section 215 of this Act as proposed by the Senate instead of 
     $14,000,000 as proposed by the House.
       The conference agreement does not include language proposed 
     by the House regarding the amount identified for the Common 
     Fund being in addition to funds allocated by the institutes 
     for activities that are related to Fund activities. The 
     Senate bill did not have similar language.
       The conference agreement provides funding for a 2.5 percent 
     increase in the average cost of new grants and for committed 
     levels for existing grants. The Senate report indicated that 
     sufficient funds were included to pay full committed levels 
     on existing grants and to provide a 3 percent increase in the 
     average cost of new grants. The House report provided 
     sufficient funding for a 2 percent increase in the average 
     cost of new grants, but did not include an assumption about 
     commitment levels for existing grants.
       The conference agreement includes sufficient funds to 
     provide an average 2.2 percent increase in research training 
     stipends. The House bill assumed a two percent average 
     increase for stipends; the Senate did not identify a specific 
     level.
       The conference agreement provides the same funding as the 
     fiscal year 2007 level for the following programs: Director's 
     Pioneer awards, Pathways to Independence awards, New 
     Innovator awards, and Bridge awards. The House provided 
     similar amounts for these programs. The Senate provided 
     similar amounts for all the programs except Pathways to 
     Independence, for which the Senate did not identify a funding 
     level.
       The conference agreement includes $96,130,000 for research 
     on chemical, radiological and nuclear countermeasures as 
     proposed by the Senate instead of $95,310,000 as proposed by 
     the House.
       The conference agreement provides up to $10,000,000 for the 
     Director's Discretionary Fund as proposed by the House. The 
     Senate did not specifically identify funding for the 
     Discretionary Fund.
       As required in the House report, the conferees require NIH 
     to notify the House and Senate Appropriations Committees each 
     time the Director uses the one percent transfer authority 
     provided in the NIH reauthorization.


                        Buildings and Facilities

       The conference agreement includes $130,000,000 for 
     Buildings and Facilities instead of $121,081,000 as proposed 
     by the House and the Senate.

       Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration


               Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services

       The conference agreement includes $3,415,511,000 for 
     substance abuse and mental health services, of which 
     $3,290,848,000 is provided through budget authority and 
     $124,663,000 is provided through the evaluation set-aside. 
     The House proposed $3,393,841,000 for the Substance Abuse and 
     Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), of which 
     $120,913,000 was from the evaluation set-aside and the Senate 
     proposed $3,404,798,000, of which $126,663,000 was from the 
     evaluation set-aside. The detailed table at the end of this 
     joint statement reflects the activity distribution agreed to 
     by the conferees.
       The conference agreement includes bill language, as 
     proposed by the Senate, that permits a State to receive more 
     than one grant or cooperative agreement for youth suicide 
     early intervention and prevention strategies.
       Within the total provided, the conference agreement 
     includes $123,023,000 for activities throughout SAMHSA that 
     are targeted to address the growing HIV/AIDS epidemic and its 
     disparate impact on communities of color, including African 
     Americans, Latinos, Native Americans, Asian Americans, Native 
     Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders. The House proposed 
     $128,514,000 for these activities. The Senate did not include 
     similar language.
       Within the total provided, the conference agreement 
     includes $56,735,000 for activities throughout SAMHSA to 
     address the needs of the homeless. The House proposed 
     $57,123,000 for these activities. The Senate did not include 
     similar language.
       Within the total provided, the conference agreement 
     includes $3,520,000 for treatment programs for mental illness 
     and substance abuse for tribes and tribal organizations 
     instead of $4,070,000 as proposed by the House. The Senate 
     did not propose similar language.
     Center for Mental Health Services
       The conference agreement includes a program level total of 
     $428,256,000 for the mental health block grant, as proposed 
     by the Senate, instead of $441,256,000 as proposed by the 
     House. Within this total, $21,413,000 is provided through the 
     evaluation set-aside as proposed by both the House and 
     Senate.
       The conference agreement includes $304,668,000 for programs 
     of regional and national significance instead of $277,030,000 
     as proposed by the House and $298,217,000 as proposed by the 
     Senate.
       Within the total provided for mental health programs of 
     regional and national significance, the conference agreement 
     includes

[[Page H12529]]

     $94,656,000 to continue and expand violence prevention 
     programs in schools, including the Safe Schools/Healthy 
     Students interdepartmental program, instead of $96,156,000 as 
     proposed by the House and $93,156,000 as proposed by the 
     Senate. Included within this amount, the conference agreement 
     provides $1,500,000 for a jointly funded initiative 
     administered by the Department of Education and SAMHSA to 
     support competitive grants to institutions of higher 
     education to develop and implement emergency management plans 
     for preventing campus violence. The House proposed $3,000,000 
     for this initiative. The Senate did not propose similar 
     language.
       Within the total for mental health programs of regional and 
     national significance, the conference agreement includes 
     $33,680,000 for the National Child Traumatic Stress 
     Initiative instead of $32,360,000 as proposed by the House 
     and $35,000,000 as proposed by the Senate. In funding new 
     grants, the conferees direct SAMHSA to give high priority 
     to centers providing services in areas impacted by 
     Hurricanes Katrina and Rita and who have previous 
     experience in providing such services.
       Within the total for mental health programs of regional and 
     national significance, the conference agreement includes 
     $7,500,000 for a wellness initiative, instead of $15,000,000 
     as proposed by the Senate, to assist local communities in the 
     coordination and improvement of the integration of 
     behavioral/mental and physical health services. In carrying 
     out this wellness initiative, the conferees expect SAMHSA to 
     collaborate with HRSA and CDC. The conferees intend that 
     funding provided will allow local communities to undertake a 
     range of prevention and health promotion activities and 
     expect that grantees must be able to evaluate the success of 
     the program based on their ability to provide evidence-based 
     services. The House did not propose funding for this 
     initiative.
       For programs addressing youth suicide prevention and early 
     intervention programs within the mental health programs of 
     regional and national significance, the conference agreement 
     includes:
       $30,000,000 for grants to States and tribes as proposed by 
     the Senate--the House did not include similar language;
       $5,000,000 for campus-based programs as proposed by the 
     Senate--the House did not include similar language; and,
       $5,000,000 for the Suicide Prevention Resource Center as 
     proposed by the Senate--the House did not include similar 
     language.
       The conferees expect the Center for Mental Health Services 
     to support multi-year grants to five consumer and consumer-
     supported national technical assistance centers as proposed 
     by the Senate. The House did not propose similar language. 
     The conference agreement also provides funding at last year's 
     level for the consumer-run statewide networking grants.
       The conference agreement includes the following projects in 
     the following amounts:

     Program Management
       The conference agreement includes a program level total of 
     $96,719,000 for program management, of which $19,750,000 is 
     provided through the evaluation set-aside. The House proposed 
     $92,721,000 for program management, of which $16,000,000 was 
     proposed through the evaluation set-aside and the Senate 
     proposed $98,719,000, of which $21,750,000 was proposed 
     through the evaluation set-aside.
       Within the evaluation set-aside for program management, the 
     conference agreement includes an additional $2,000,000 for 
     the National Survey on Drug Use and Health, rather than an 
     additional $4,000,000 as proposed by the Senate. The House 
     did not propose similar language.
       Also within the evaluation set-aside for program 
     management, the conference agreement includes $1,500,000, as 
     proposed by the Senate, to include mental health questions in 
     CDC's National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) and to carry 
     out studies necessary to ensure the validity and reliability 
     of the NHIS data.

               Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality


                    Healthcare Research and Quality

       The conference agreement includes a program level of 
     $334,564,000 for the Agency for Healthcare Research and 
     Quality (AHRQ) instead of $329,564,000 as proposed by the 
     House and Senate. The agreement makes these funds fully 
     available through the policy evaluation set-aside. The House 
     proposed providing $282,500,000 of the total for AHRQ through 
     budget authority and $47,064,000 through the evaluation set-
     aside. The Senate proposed providing $329,564,000 entirely 
     through budget authority. The detailed table at the end of 
     this joint statement reflects the activity distribution 
     agreed to by the conferees.
       Within the funds provided, the conference agreement 
     includes $30,000,000 for the comparative effectiveness health 
     care research program as proposed by both the House and 
     Senate. Also within the funds provided, $5,000,000 is for 
     activities to reduce infections for methicillin-resistant 
     staphylococcus aureus and related infections as proposed by 
     the Senate. The House did not include similar language.
       The conferees encourage AHRQ to look favorably on proposals 
     that would proactively detect medical errors and preemptively 
     control injury via compact medical devices that acquire, 
     analyze and filter data from multiple, disparate, wireless 
     and wired sources.
       The conferees encourage AHRQ to investigate the feasibility 
     of an open-source, no-cost license computer model capable of 
     predicting the effects of health care policy alternatives for 
     the purpose of improving health care quality and cost-
     effectiveness. The model should be developed with a 
     consortium of university partners and be capable of 
     predicting costs and health impacts.

               Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services


                     Grants to States for Medicaid

       The conference agreement provides $141,628,056,000 for 
     grants to States for Medicaid as proposed by the Senate 
     instead of $141,630,056,000 as proposed by the House. Within 
     this total, $2,761,957,000 is provided for the Vaccine for 
     Children program as proposed by the Senate instead of 
     $2,763,957,000 as proposed by the House.


                           Program Management

       The conference agreement includes $3,276,502,000 for 
     program management instead of $3,230,163,000 as proposed by 
     the House and $3,248,088,000 as proposed by the Senate. An 
     additional appropriation of $720,000,000 has been provided 
     for the Medicare Integrity Program through the Health 
     Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996. Funds 
     for individual CMS activities are displayed in the table at 
     the end of the statement of managers. Funding levels that 
     were in disagreement but not displayed on the table are 
     discussed in this statement.
       The conference agreement includes bill language providing 
     $193,000,000, available through fiscal year 2009, for 
     Medicare contracting reform activities. The House bill 
     provided $163,800,000 for this activity; the Senate bill 
     provided $253,775,000.
       The conference agreement does not include language proposed 
     by the Senate providing the Secretary of HHS the authority to 
     charge fees associated with the cost of conducting survey and 
     certification revisits of health care facilities that receive 
     Medicare reimbursement. The House bill contained no similar 
     provision.
       The conference agreement includes bill language similar to 
     that proposed by the Senate including $5,140,000 for the

------------------------------------------------------------------------

       The conference agreement includes $36,990,000 for research, 
     demonstration, and evaluation instead of $23,070,000 as 
     proposed by the House and $35,325,000 as proposed by the 
     Senate. Within this total, the conference agreement includes 
     $10,000,000 for Real Choice Systems Change Grants to States, 
     as proposed by the Senate. The House bill did not include 
     funding for this purpose.
       The conference agreement provides $45,000,000 for the State 
     Health Insurance Program as proposed by the House instead of 
     $35,000,000 as proposed by the Senate. The conference 
     agreement provides funds to support the National Center on 
     Senior Benefits Outreach and Enrollment within the 
     Administration on Aging rather than in the Centers for 
     Medicare and Medicaid Services as proposed by the Senate. The 
     House did not provide funding for this activity within CMS.
       The conferees request the Government Accountability Office 
     to submit a report to Congress by November 30, 2008 (1) 
     assessing State efforts to reexamine health care delivery and 
     expand access and (2) providing recommendations regarding the 
     potential role of Congress in supporting State-based efforts. 
     The Senate proposed a similar report in section 228 of H.R. 
     3043, as passed by the Senate. The House had no similar 
     provision.
       The conferees direct the Secretary of HHS to submit a 
     report to the Appropriations Committees of the House of 
     Representatives and the Senate no later than 30 days after 
     enactment of this Act on workers' compensation set-asides 
     under the Medicare secondary payer set-aside provisions under 
     title XVIII of the Social Security Act. The Senate proposed a 
     similar report in section 240 of H.R. 3043, as passed by the 
     Senate. The House had no similar provision.
       The conferees believe that the Secretary of HHS should 
     maintain ``deemed status'' coverage under the Medicare 
     program for clinical trials that are Federally funded or 
     reviewed, as provided for by the Executive Memorandum of June 
     2000. The Senate expressed a similar view in section 241 of 
     H.R. 3043, as passed by the Senate. The House had no similar 
     provision.
       The conferees direct CMS to include in the next publication 
     of ``Medicare & You'' information regarding: (1) the 
     importance of writing and updating advance directives and 
     living wills; and (2) access to laboratory findings and 
     medical records and encouraging patients to be more proactive 
     in asking for copies of these important pieces of health 
     information.


              Health Care Fraud and Abuse Control Account

       The conference agreement provides $383,000,000, to be 
     available until expended, from the Medicare trust funds for 
     health care fraud and abuse control, as proposed by the 
     Senate. The House proposed the same level of funding but with 
     one-year availability. Within this total, the conference 
     agreement provides a different allocation of funding between 
     activities than that provided by the House or the Senate. The 
     agreement provides $284,620,000 for CMS program integrity 
     activities, including activities authorized under the 
     Medicare Integrity Program and $35,000,000 for Medicaid anti-
     fraud activities. The House and Senate had provided 
     $288,480,000 for the Medicare Integrity Program. The HHS 
     Office of the Secretary is provided $25,000,000 in the 
     conference agreement rather than $21,140,000 as proposed by 
     the House and Senate. Funding for Medicaid program integrity 
     activities was not included in either the House or Senate 
     bill.

                Administration for Children and Families


                   low-income home energy assistance

       The conference agreement includes $2,411,585,000 for low-
     income home energy assistance instead of $2,662,000,000 as 
     proposed by the House and $2,161,170,000 as proposed by the 
     Senate. Of the amount provided, $1,980,000,000 is provided 
     for formula grants to States as proposed by both the House 
     and Senate, and $431,585,000 is provided for the contingency 
     fund instead of $682,000,000 as proposed by the House and 
     $181,170,000 as proposed by the Senate.


                     refugee and entrant assistance

       The conference agreement includes $652,394,000 for the 
     refugee and entrant assistance programs instead of 
     $650,630,000 as proposed by the House and $654,166,000 as 
     proposed by the Senate. The detailed table at the end of this 
     joint statement reflects the activity distribution agreed to 
     by the conferees.
       Within the total for refugee and entrant assistance, the 
     conference agreement includes $9,814,000, as proposed by the 
     House, for victims of trafficking instead of $9,823,000 as 
     proposed by the Senate. The conferees concur with both the 
     House and Senate and do not include bill language that would 
     expand the program to include domestic victims of 
     trafficking.
       Within the total for refugee and entrant assistance, the 
     conference agreement includes $154,005,000 for social 
     services as proposed by both the House and Senate. Included 
     within this amount, $19,000,000 is for support to communities 
     with large concentrations of Cuban and Haitian entrants as 
     proposed by the House. The Senate did not include similar 
     language.
       Within the total for refugee and entrant assistance, the 
     conference agreement includes $131,399,000 for the 
     unaccompanied minors program instead of $129,635,000 as 
     proposed by the House and $133,162,000 as proposed by the 
     Senate. As proposed by both the House and Senate, the 
     conference agreement does not include funds for expanded 
     background checks. After addressing increased shelter and 
     medical costs, the conferees direct ORR to use the increase 
     provided for the unaccompanied minors program to expand the 
     pro bono legal services initiative, as proposed by both the 
     House and Senate.


   payments to states for the child care and development block grant

       The conference agreement includes $2,094,581,000 for the 
     Child Care and Development Block Grant, instead of 
     $2,137,081,000 as proposed by the House bill and 
     $2,062,081,000 as proposed by the Senate bill. The bill 
     designates $982,080 for the Child Care Aware toll-free 
     hotline; this provision was included in the House bill. The 
     Senate bill included funds for this purpose but did not name 
     the entity.
       The conference agreement also includes bill language 
     specifying $5,000,000 for the Small Business Child Care 
     program. The Senate bill provided these funds in a general 
     provision. The House bill did not include a similar 
     provision.


                      social services block grant

       The conference agreement includes bill language allowing 
     States to transfer up to 10 percent of Temporary Assistance 
     to Needy Families (TANF) funds to the Social Services Block 
     Grant. This provision was not included in either the House or 
     the Senate bill.


                children and families services programs

       The conference agreement includes $9,231,195,000 for 
     Children and Families Services Programs, of which $10,500,000 
     is provided through the evaluation set-aside. The House bill 
     proposed $9,157,440,000 for these programs and the Senate 
     proposed $9,223,832,000. The detailed table at the end of 
     this joint statement reflects the activity distribution 
     agreed to by the conferees.
     Head Start
       The conference agreement includes $7,042,196,000 for Head 
     Start, instead of $6,963,571,000 as proposed by the House and 
     $7,088,571,000 as proposed by the Senate. The agreement 
     includes $1,388,800,000 in advance funding.
     Consolidated Runaway and Homeless Youth Program
       The conference agreement includes $100,337,000 for the 
     Consolidated Runaway and Homeless Youth Program, instead of 
     $97,837,000 as proposed by the House and $102,837,000 as 
     proposed by the Senate.
     Prevention Grants to Reduce Abuse of Runaway Youth
       The conference agreement includes $17,527,000 for 
     prevention grants to reduce abuse of runaway youth, instead 
     of $15,027,000 as proposed by the House and $20,027,000 as 
     proposed by the Senate.
     Child Abuse State Grants and Discretionary Activities
       The conference agreement includes $65,033,000 for Child 
     Abuse State Grants and child abuse discretionary programs, 
     instead of $63,840,000 as proposed by the House and 
     $64,745,000 as proposed by the Senate.
       Included in this amount is $27,007,000 for State grants, as 
     proposed by both the House and the Senate. Within the amount 
     provided for State grants, the conferees include $10,000,000 
     for a home visitation initiative to support competitive 
     grants to States to encourage investment of existing funding 
     streams into evidence-based home visitation models. The 
     conferees expect that the Administration for Children and 
     Families will ensure that States use the funds to support 
     models that have been shown, in well-designed randomized 
     controlled trials, to produce sizeable, sustained effects on 
     important child outcomes such as abuse and neglect. The 
     conferees also recommend that the funds support activities to 
     assist a range of home visitation programs to replicate the 
     techniques that have met these high evidentiary standards. In 
     carrying out this new initiative, the conferees instruct the 
     Department to adhere closely to evidence-based

[[Page H12532]]

     models of home visitation and not to incorporate any 
     additional initiatives that have not met these high 
     evidentiary standards or might otherwise dilute the emphasis 
     on home visitation.
       For child abuse discretionary activities, the conference 
     agreement provides $38,026,000, instead of $36,833,000 as 
     proposed by the House and $37,738,000 as proposed by the 
     Senate. Within the funds provided for child abuse 
     discretionary activities, the conference agreement includes 
     the following projects in the following amounts:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                       Project                           Total funding

------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Adoption Incentives
       The conference report includes $4,400,000 for the Adoption 
     Incentive Program, rather than $9,500,000 as proposed by both 
     the House and the Senate. The decrease reflects available 
     carry-over from the previous fiscal year, due to the fact 
     that bonus amounts earned by the States have fallen 
     significantly, causing the Department to revise its estimate 
     of funds needed to pay incentives earned by the States in 
     fiscal year 2007.
     Adoption Awareness
       The conference agreement includes $13,674,000 for the 
     Adoption Awareness Program, instead of $14,674,000 as 
     proposed by the House and $12,674,000 as proposed by the 
     Senate. Within this amount, the conferees expect that the 
     increase of $1,000,000 will be used for infant adoption 
     awareness, bringing the total available for this activity to 
     $10,728,000. The remaining $2,946,000 is recommended for the 
     special needs adoption campaign.
     Compassion Capital Fund
       The conference agreement includes $53,625,000 for the 
     Compassion Capital Fund as proposed by the Senate, instead of 
     $64,350,000 as proposed by the House.
     Social Services and Income Maintenance Research
       The conference agreement includes $21,898,000 for social 
     services and income maintenance research, of which $6,000,000 
     is provided through the evaluation set-aside. The House 
     proposed $14,635,000 for this program, of which $6,000,000 
     was funded through the evaluation set-aside and the Senate 
     proposed $11,825,000, of which $6,000,000 was from the 
     evaluation set-aside.
       Within the funds provided for social services research, the 
     conference agreement includes the following projects in the 
     following amounts:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                       Project                           Total funding

     Developmental Disabilities
       Within developmental disabilities programs, the conference 
     agreement includes $77,271,000 for State Councils on 
     Developmental Disabilities, as proposed by the Senate instead 
     of $76,771,000 as proposed by the House. For protection and 
     advocacy services, the conferees include $41,718,000, instead 
     of $38,718,000 as proposed by the House and $42,718,000 as 
     proposed by the Senate.
       The conference agreement includes $18,820,000 for voting 
     access for individuals with disabilities, instead of 
     $36,720,000 as proposed by the House and $16,720,000 as 
     proposed by the Senate. Within the funds provided, 
     $12,920,000 is for payments to States to promote access for 
     voters with disabilities and $5,900,000 is for State 
     protection and advocacy systems. The House proposed 
     $25,890,000 and $10,830,000 respectively for these two 
     activities, while the Senate proposed $11,390,000 and 
     $5,330,000.
       For developmental disabilities projects of national

     prepared by government researchers and scientists be 
     transmitted to the Committees on Appropriations, uncensored 
     and without delay. The House did not include a similar 
     provision.


                OFFICE OF MEDICARE HEARINGS AND APPEALS

       The conference agreement includes $67,500,000 for this 
     activity instead of $65,000,000 as proposed by the House and 
     $70,000,000 as proposed by the Senate.


  OFFICE OF THE NATIONAL COORDINATOR FOR HEALTH INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

       The conference agreement includes $66,151,000 for this 
     activity, of which $27,651,000 is provided in budget 
     authority and $38,500,000 is made available through the 
     Public Health Service program evaluation tap. The House 
     provided a combined total of $61,302,000 for this activity; 
     the Senate provided a combined total of $71,000,000. The 
     conferees encourage the Department to develop an 
     interoperability standard, tool set, and validation protocol 
     that facilitates seamless medical device information sharing 
     and device connectivity.


                      OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL

       The conference agreement includes $45,187,000 for the 
     Office of Inspector General instead of $44,687,000 as 
     proposed by the House and $45,687,000 as proposed by the 
     Senate.


            PUBLIC HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICES EMERGENCY FUND

                     (including transfer of funds)

       The conference agreement includes $1,505,509,000 for the 
     Public Health and Social Services Emergency Fund (PHSSEF) 
     instead of $1,705,382,000 as proposed by the House and 
     $1,729,556,000 as proposed by the Senate.
       The conference agreement includes bill language designating 
     $741,586,000 to support activities related to countering 
     potential biological, disease, nuclear, radiological and 
     chemical threats to civilian populations and for other public 
     health emergencies instead of $757,291,000 as proposed by the 
     House and $786,556,000 as proposed by the Senate.
       The conferees concur with the House and provide funding for 
     World Trade Center treatment and monitoring within the CDC 
     appropriation and not the PHSSEF account as proposed by the 
     Senate. The conferees direct the Secretary of Health and 
     Human Services to provide a comprehensive Federal plan, as 
     proposed by the House, for monitoring, screening, analysis, 
     and medical treatment for all individuals who were exposed to 
     the toxins at the World Trade Center site. The conference 
     agreement expands the World Trade Center monitoring and 
     treatment program administered by NIOSH to residents, 
     students, and others, therefore the plan also should address 
     how HHS intends to implement this expansion.
       The conferees concur with the House and do not include 
     funding for Security Coordination and Improvement or 
     Healthcare Provider Credentialing within the programs funded 
     through PHSSEF administered by the Office of the Secretary. 
     The Senate proposed $3,300,000 for Healthcare Provider 
     Credentialing.
     Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and 
         Response
       The conference agreement includes $720,806,000 for the 
     Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and 
     Response (ASPR) instead of $738,909,000 as proposed by the 
     House. The Senate did not propose a funding level for ASPR in 
     total, but did propose funding for specific activities within 
     the office. The conference agreement includes bill language 
     designating $22,363,000 for BioShield management as proposed 
     by the House instead of $22,338,000 as proposed by the 
     Senate.
       Within the total for ASPR, the conference agreement 
     includes $50,000,000 for the National Disaster Medical System 
     instead of $53,000,000 as proposed by both the House and 
     Senate.
       Within the total for ASPR, the conference agreement 
     includes $444,241,000 for the hospital preparedness 
     cooperative agreement grants program instead of $450,991,000 
     as proposed by the House and $438,843,000 as proposed by the 
     Senate. The conferees concur with the House and do not 
     include funds for a surge capacity demonstration program. The 
     Senate proposed $25,000,000 for this demonstration program. 
     Additionally, the conference agreement does not include 
     funding for a partnership grant program.
       Within the total for ASPR, the conference agreement 
     includes $149,250,000 for advanced research and development 
     instead of $139,500,000 as proposed by the House and 
     $189,000,000 as proposed by the Senate.
     Cyber-Security
       Within the PHSSEF total, the conference agreement includes 
     $9,064,000 for an information technology cyber-security 
     program administered by the Office of the Chief Information 
     Officer as proposed by the House instead of $9,482,000 as 
     proposed by the Senate.
     Medical Reserve Corps
       Within the PHSSEF total, the conference agreement includes 
     $11,716,000 for the medical reserve corps administered by the 
     Office of Public Health and Science instead of $9,318,000 as 
     proposed by the House and $14,113,000 as proposed by the 
     Senate.
     Office of the Secretary--Pandemic Influenza Preparedness
       The conference agreement includes bill language designating 
     $763,923,000 to prepare for and respond to an influenza 
     pandemic instead of $948,091,000 as proposed by the House and 
     $888,000,000 as proposed by the Senate. Of this amount, the 
     conference agreement provides $685,832,000 to be available 
     until expended instead of $870,000,000 as proposed by the 
     House and $652,000,000 as proposed by the Senate. The 
     conference agreement includes bill language as proposed by 
     the House, that funds appropriated for pandemic influenza may 
     be transferred to other appropriations accounts of the 
     Department of Health and Human Services. The Senate proposed 
     similar language.
       Within the total for pandemic influenza preparedness, the 
     conference agreement includes $78,091,000, as proposed by the 
     House, for ongoing activities instead of $78,000,000 as 
     proposed by the Senate.
       The conferees continue to support the Department's pandemic 
     influenza preparedness activities and note that approximately 
     $1,800,000,000 remains available to be obligated from funds 
     provided in prior appropriations for pandemic influenza 
     preparedness. The conferees understand that HHS plans to use 
     a portion of the prior appropriations to purchase additional 
     doses of antivirals for the Federal stockpile rather than 
     waiting for the fiscal year 2008 appropriation, which 
     included as part of that request, $248,000,000 for antiviral 
     purchases. Due to the large unobligated balance for vaccine 
     development and other activities and the plans to use prior 
     year funds instead of fiscal year 2008 funds for antiviral 
     purchase, the conferees are providing less funding than was 
     requested by the Administration.
       The conferees concur with the House and provide the ongoing 
     pandemic preparedness activities of the CDC within the CDC 
     appropriation. The Senate proposed to fund CDC pandemic flu 
     activities in PHSSEF to be transferred to CDC within 30 days 
     of enactment of this Act.


                  Covered Countermeasure Process Fund

       The conferees concur with the Senate and do not provide an 
     appropriation for the Covered Countermeasure Process Fund. 
     The House proposed $5,000,000 for this program.

                           General Provisions


                     ONE PERCENT TRANSFER AUTHORITY

                          (transfer of funds)

       The conference agreement includes a general provision 
     similar to that proposed by the Senate providing the 
     Secretary of HHS with the authority to transfer up to 1 
     percent of discretionary funds between a program, project, or 
     activity, but no such program, project or activity shall be 
     increased by more than 3 percent by any such transfer. This 
     transfer is available only to meet emergency needs. The 
     Committees are to be notified 15 days in advance of any 
     transfer. The House bill included a similar provision, but 
     allowed the authority to transfer between appropriations 
     for unanticipated needs.


                 COUNCIL ON GRADUATE MEDICAL EDUCATION

       The conference agreement includes a general provision 
     proposed by the Senate allowing for the continued operation 
     of the Council on Graduate Medical Education. The House bill 
     contained no similar provision.


                  DELTA HEALTH ALLIANCE AUTHORIZATION

       The conference agreement includes a general provision 
     proposed by the Senate creating the authority for HHS to 
     award a grant to the Delta Health Alliance for research, 
     educational programs, services, job training, and 
     construction of health facilities. The House bill contained 
     no similar provision.


                    THIMEROSAL IN INFLUENZA VACCINES

       The conference agreement includes a requirement that, for 
     the 2010-2011 influenza season, the Secretary of Health and 
     Human Services (HHS) shall not make available any funds for 
     the administration of any influenza vaccine containing 
     thimerosal as a preservative for children under three years 
     of age. The conferees are concerned that, in several surveys, 
     parents have noted fear of vaccines containing thimerosal as 
     a reason for not vaccinating their children against 
     influenza. Although there is no peer-reviewed scientific 
     evidence linking thimerosal in vaccines to neurodevelopmental 
     disorders, the conferees are nonetheless troubled by low 
     influenza vaccination coverage rates in this population. To 
     improve public confidence in the safety of vaccines, the 
     conference agreement also includes language requiring the 
     Secretary to submit to Congress a plan to work proactively 
     with influenza vaccine manufacturers to facilitate approval 
     of additional vaccines for children under three years of age, 
     to increase Federal purchases of thimerosal-free influenza 
     vaccine, and to take any additional actions to increase the 
     supply of thimerosal-free influenza vaccine.
       By enacting this language the conferees do not intend to 
     supersede the judgments of expert scientists and physicians. 
     Additionally, the conferees concur with CDC and its Advisory 
     Committee on Immunization Practices that any person for whom 
     the influenza vaccine is recommended receive any influenza 
     immunization that is FDA-approved for use in that individual. 
     By undertaking the current legislative action, the conferees 
     do not intend to imply that vaccines containing thimerosal 
     present more risk and thereby discourage citizens from 
     availing themselves of such vaccines. Moreover, the conferees 
     have granted the Secretary of HHS the authority to put aside 
     the prohibition if the Secretary finds that thimerosal-free 
     influenza vaccine supply is not sufficient to meet demand or 
     a public health emergency occurs.
       The House bill proposed prohibiting the use of funds 
     provided in this Act to administer to children under three 
     years of age an influenza vaccine containing thimerosal 
     during the 2008-2009 influenza season. The Senate did not 
     have a similar provision.


                     NIH RESEARCH TRAINING TRANSFER

                          (transfer of funds)

       The conference agreement includes a general provision 
     proposed by the Senate restoring the authority to transfer 
     one percent of the amounts made available for National 
     Research Service Awards to the Health Resources and Services 
     Administration and the Agency for Healthcare Research and 
     Quality. The House bill contained no similar provision.


              CDC OMBUDSMAN PROGRAM AND FITNESS EQUIPMENT

       The conference agreement includes a general provision 
     proposed by the Senate prohibiting funding for the CDC 
     Ombudsman Program and certain equipment for the CDC fitness 
     center. The House proposed a similar provision in title V of 
     the bill.


                       NONRECURRING EXPENSES FUND

       The conference agreement includes a general provision not 
     in either the House or Senate bill establishing an HHS 
     Nonrecurring Expenses Fund. The Fund is to be created from 
     unobligated balances of expired discretionary funds 
     appropriated for this or any succeeding fiscal year. The Fund 
     may be used for capital acquisition purposes, including 
     facilities and information technology infrastructure. Amounts 
     may only be obligated 15 days after notification of the 
     Appropriations Committees of the House of Representatives and 
     the Senate.


                      FEDERAL OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH

       The conference agreement does not include a general 
     provision proposed by the Senate allowing the Division of 
     Federal Occupational Health to use personal services 
     contracting. The House bill contained no similar provision. 
     This authority has previously been provided on a permanent 
     basis.


                          USE OF CDC AIRCRAFT

       The conference agreement does not include a general 
     provision proposed by the Senate allowing the Secretary of 
     HHS and HHS employees accompanying the Secretary to use the 
     CDC aircraft. The House bill contained no similar 
     provision.


                current federal law on abortion funding

       The conference agreement does not include a general 
     provision proposed by the Senate stating that nothing in the 
     Act shall be construed to affect or otherwise modify 
     provisions of current Federal law with respect to the funding 
     of abortion. The House bill did not contain this restatement 
     of current law.


                        emergency defibrillators

       The conference agreement does not include a general 
     provision proposed by the Senate setting aside $200,000 for a 
     clearinghouse for schools regarding emergency defibrillators. 
     Instead, this issue is addressed in HRSA report language. The 
     House bill contained no similar provision.


                          telehealth programs

       The conference agreement does not include a general 
     provision proposed by the Senate providing funding for 
     telehealth programs, financed by an administrative reduction. 
     The agreement provides funding for telehealth activities in 
     the HRSA account. The House bill contained no similar 
     provision.


             gao report on state health care access efforts

       The conference agreement does not include a general 
     provision proposed by the Senate requiring the Comptroller 
     General to provide a report to Congress on State health care 
     reform efforts. Instead, the CMS report language contains a 
     similar directive. The House bill contained no similar 
     provision.


                      cdc stroke and heart disease

       The conference agreement does not include a general

     addressed in the CDC portion of the bill. The House contained 
     no similar provision.

                       patient navigator outreach

       The conference agreement does not include a general 
     provision proposed by the Senate that would provide funding 
     for patient navigator outreach activities, financed by an 
     administrative reduction. Funding for this program is 
     addressed in the HRSA portion of the bill. The House 
     contained no similar provision.


                              trauma care

       The conference agreement does not include a general 
     provision proposed by the Senate that would provide funding

     reduction. Funding for trauma care is addressed in the HRSA 
     portion of the bill. The House contained no similar 
     provision.

     of the Senate regarding hemodialysis clinical trials 
     supported by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive 
     and Kidney Diseases. This issue is addressed in NIDDK report 
     language. The House contained no similar provision.


                small business child care grant program

     contained no similar provision.

                   TITLE III--DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION

                    Education for the Disadvantaged

       The conference agreement includes $15,930,691,000 for the

     year 2008 and $1,435,000,000 in fiscal year 2009 funding for 
     this account.
       The conference agreement includes $3,037,439,000 for the 
     Teacher Quality State Grants program instead of 
     $3,187,439,000 as proposed by the House and $2,887,439,000 as 
     proposed by the Senate.
       The conference agreement does not provide funding for the

     the Senate.
       The conference agreement includes $183,080,000 for the

     supervised and supportive after-school activities to middle 
     and high school students.

     of higher education to establish or expand articulated 
     programs of study in languages critical to United States 
     national security as proposed by the House. The Senate did 
     not propose this set aside. The conferees intend that funding 
     available under this program promote the goal of well-
     articulated, long-sequence language programs that lead to 
     demonstrable results for all students, and encourage school 
     districts applying for these funds to reach out to 
     institutions and centers funded under the Department's 
     International Education programs under Title VI of the Higher 
     Education Act. The conferees direct the Department not to

     instruction.

     continue to place a high priority on grant applications that 
     aim to improve the quality of State assessments for students 
     with disabilities and students with limited English 
     proficiency, and to ensure the most accurate means of 
     measuring their performance on those assessments.
       The conference agreement includes $34,204,000 for the

     and modernization of any elementary school, secondary school, 
     or structure related to an elementary school or secondary 
     school run by the Department of Education of the State of 
     Hawaii that serves a predominantly Native Hawaiian student 
     body as proposed by the Senate. The conference agreement also 
     includes bill language, as proposed by the Senate, which 
     designates, within the amount provided for the Education of 
     Native Hawaiians program, not less than $1,250,000 to the 
     Hawaii Department of Education for school construction/

       The conferees expect that rural education funding will be 
     equally divided between the Small, Rural Schools Achievement 
     Program, which provides funds to school districts that serve 
     a small number of students, and the Rural and Low-Income 
     Schools Program, which provides funds to school districts 
     that serve concentrations of poor students, regardless of the 
     number of students served.

     Other programs
       The conference agreement includes $24,755,000 for the Ready 
     to Learn program instead of $24,255,000 as proposed by the 
     House and $25,255,000 as proposed by the Senate. The 
     conferees expect the increase over fiscal year 2007 to be 
     used for Ready to Learn outreach programs at the Corporation 
     for Public Broadcasting.
       The conference agreement includes $1,977,000 for Close Up/
     Congressional Fellowships instead of $1,454,000 as proposed 
     by the House and $2,500,000 as proposed by the Senate.
       The conference agreement includes $46,000,000 for Advanced 
     Placement programs instead of $50,000,000 as proposed by the 
     House and $42,000,000 as proposed by the Senate. The 
     conferees intend that funds be used first for the Advanced 
     Placement Test Fee Program, estimated to require $10,000,000 
     in fiscal year 2008. The remaining funds shall be used for 
     continuing and new awards under the Advanced Placement 
     Incentive Program Grants. The conferees encourage the 
     Department to incorporate a priority for projects focused on 
     the sciences, mathematics, and foreign languages in the 
     fiscal year 2008 competition for new awards under the 
     Advanced Placement Incentive Program.

                 Safe Schools and Citizenship Education

       The conference agreement includes $708,835,000 for programs 
     in the Safe Schools and Citizenship Education account instead 
     of $760,575,000 as proposed by the House and $697,112,000 as 
     proposed by the Senate.
       The conference agreement includes $300,000,000 for Safe and 
     Drug-Free Schools State Grants as proposed by the Senate, 
     instead of $346,500,000 as proposed by the House.
       The conference agreement includes $140,112,000 for National 
     Programs instead of $141,112,000 as proposed by the House and 
     $139,112,000 as proposed by the Senate. The conference 
     agreement includes funding for the following activities:

School Emergency Preparedness Initiative....................$32,374,000
Safe Schools/Healthy Students................................79,200,000
Drug Testing Initiative......................................10,828,000
Postsecondary Ed Drug and Violence Prevention (including $850,000 for 
  the recognition program)....................................6,083,000

[[Page H12542]]

National Institute of Building Sciences for the National Clearinghouse 
  for Educational Facilities....................................300,000
Project SERV..................................................1,500,000
Other activities..............................................8,681,000

       The conferees continue to be concerned about the increasing 
     problems of alcohol and drug abuse on college campuses. The 
     conferees direct the Department to use $850,000 within the 
     amount provided for Safe and Drug-Free Schools and 
     Communities National Programs to identify, and provide 
     recognition of, promising and model alcohol and drug abuse 
     education programs in higher education.
       The conferees intend that funding recommended for school 
     emergency preparedness activities be used for new grant 
     awards to higher education institutions, in addition to 
     school districts currently eligible, to develop and implement 
     emergency management plans for preventing campus violence 
     (including assessing and addressing the mental health needs 
     of students) and for responding to threats and incidents of 
     violence or natural disaster in a manner that ensures the 
     safety of the campus community. The conferees intend that 
     these funds be used to help institutions of higher education 
     plan and prepare for the entire constellation of threats 
     (terrorist attacks, natural disasters, shootings, and gang-
     related activity).
       The conference agreement also modifies bill language 
     proposed by the House to permit Project SERV funds 
     appropriated in fiscal year 2008 and in previous fiscal years 
     to be used to provide services to school districts and 
     institutions of higher education in which the learning 
     environment has been disrupted due to a violent or traumatic 
     crisis. The Senate bill did not include bill language 
     allowing Project SERV funds to be awarded to institutions of 
     higher education.
       In addition, the recommended funding for the Office of Safe 
     and Drug Free Schools will permit the Department to expand 
     its examination of a variety of other school safety 
     initiatives. The conferees request the Department to update 
     the 2002 Department of Education and U.S. Secret Service 
     guidance titled ``Threat Assessment in Schools: A Guide to 
     Managing Threatening Situations and to Creating Safe School 
     Climates'' to reflect the recommendations contained in the 
     report titled ``Report to the President on Issues Raised by 
     the Virginia Tech Tragedy.'' The conferees also request that, 
     within a year of the enactment of this Act, the Department 
     shall disseminate the updated guidance to institutions of 
     higher education and to State departments of education for 
     distribution to all local education agencies.
       The conference agreement includes $33,000,000 for Grants to 
     Reduce Alcohol Abuse as proposed by the Senate instead of 
     $32,409,000 as proposed by the House.
       The conference agreement includes $49,407,000 for Mentoring 
     Programs instead of $48,814,000 as proposed by the House and 
     $50,000,000 as proposed by the Senate.
       The conference agreement includes $24,248,000 for Character 
     Education as proposed by the House instead of $25,000,000 as 
     proposed by the Senate.
       The conference agreement includes $50,750,000 for the 
     Elementary and Secondary School Counseling program instead of 
     $61,500,000 as proposed by the House and $40,000,000 as 
     proposed by the Senate.
       The conference agreement includes $78,000,000 for the Carol 
     M. White Physical Education program instead of $72,674,000 as 
     proposed by the House and $80,000,000 as proposed by the 
     Senate. The conferees affirm the original intent of the 
     Physical Education program with respect to the use of funds 
     for the purchase of equipment.
       The conference agreement includes $33,318,000 for the Civic 
     Education program authorized under the Education for

     Other programs
       The conferees provide $8,000,000 for the Tribally 
     Controlled Vocational Institutions as proposed by the Senate. 
     The House also had proposed $8,000,000 for this program, but 
     under the ``Career, Technical, and Adult Education'' account.
       The conference agreement includes $858,178,000 for TRIO as 
     proposed by the Senate instead of $868,178,000 as proposed by 
     the House. Within this amount, the conferees intend that 
     $10,000,000 be used for a TRIO college completion initiative, 
     providing supplemental awards under the Student Support 
     Services program to provide grant aid to students 
     participating in the program who are at-risk of dropping out 
     of college due to financial need. The conferees intend that 
     Student Support Services projects receiving supplemental 
     awards shall provide matching funds equal to 33 percent of 
     the total award; thus, leveraging an additional $3,300,000 in 
     need-based student aid. The conferees are concerned about the 
     reduced level of participation of Hispanic students in the 
     TRIO Talent Search program, and encourage the Secretary of 
     Education to enhance program outreach efforts to Hispanics 
     with the goal of increasing the participation rates of 
     Hispanic students in Talent Search.
       The conference agreement includes $318,423,000 for the GEAR 
     UP program instead of $323,423,000 as proposed by the House 
     and $313,423,000 as proposed by the Senate. The conferees 
     intend that $4,950,000 of the increase over fiscal year 2007 
     be used for State grants, of which 50 percent must be used to 
     provide student scholarships, and $10,050,000 of the increase 
     be used for partnership grants.
       The conference agreement includes $41,000,000 for Byrd 
     Honors Scholarships as proposed by the Senate instead of 
     $40,590,000 as proposed by the House.
       The conference agreement includes $34,261,000 for the 
     Teacher Quality Enhancement Grants program instead of 
     $40,000,000 as proposed by the House and $28,521,000 as 
     proposed by the Senate. The conferees intend that the 
     increase over the amount needed for continuing awards in 
     fiscal year 2008 be used solely for partnership grants to 
     institutions of higher education, schools of arts and 
     sciences, and high-need school districts that are focused on 
     teacher pre-service preparation.
       The conference agreement includes $3,000,000 for programs 
     for baccalaureate degrees in science, technology, 
     engineering, mathematics, or critical foreign languages with 
     concurrent teacher certification, and $2,000,000 for programs 
     for master's degrees in science, technology, engineering, 
     mathematics, or critical foreign language education 
     authorized in Public Law 110-69, the America COMPETES Act. 
     The Senate bill proposed $6,000,000 and $4,000,000 for these 
     programs, respectively, and the House bill did not include 
     these provisions.
       The conference agreement includes $16,810,000 for the Child 
     Care Access Means Parents in School program instead of 
     $17,810,000 as proposed by the House and $15,810,000 as 
     proposed by the Senate.
       The conference agreement does not include funding for the 
     Advancing America through Foreign Language Partnerships 
     program as proposed by the House. The Senate proposed 
     $12,000,000 for this initiative. Funding for similar 
     activities is included in the conference agreement for the 
     Foreign Language Assistance program and the Title VI 
     International Education and Foreign Languages Studies 
     program.
       For Government Performance and Results Act and higher 
     education program evaluation, the conferees recommend 
     $620,000 as proposed by the House instead of $970,000 as 
     proposed by the Senate.
       The conference agreement includes $2,000,000 for the 
     Underground Railroad program as proposed by the Senate. The 
     House did not provide funds for this program. The conference 
     agreement also provides $970,000

[[Page H12547]]

     for the B.J. Stupak Olympic Scholarship program and 
     $2,946,000 for the Thurgood Marshall Scholarship program as 
     proposed by the House. The Senate did not propose funding for 
     these programs.

                           Howard University

       The conference agreement includes $237,392,000 for Howard 
     University as proposed by the House and Senate. Within this 
     amount, the conference agreement includes $29,461,000 for 
     Howard University hospital as proposed by the Senate. The 
     House did not designate a specific amount for the hospital.

                    Institute of Education Sciences

       The conference agreement includes $561,315,000 for the 
     Institute of Education Sciences (IES) instead of $535,103,000 
     as proposed by the House and $589,826,000 as proposed by the 
     Senate. The agreement provides $293,155,000 of total funding 
     to be available through fiscal year 2009. Funds for the 
     individual IES line items are displayed in the table at the 
     end of the statement of managers. Funding levels that were in 
     disagreement but not displayed on the table are discussed in 
     this statement.
       The Conference agreement provides $2,200,000 for the Fast 
     Response Survey System to collect data for the report of Arts 
     Education in Public Elementary and Secondary Schools during 
     the 2008-2009 school year, as described in Senate Report 110-
     107. The survey is to be administered by the National 
     Center for Education Statistics, but with IES and the 
     Office of Innovation and Improvement jointly determining 
     the scope of work of the project.The House proposed this 
     funding level within IES. The Senate proposed $500,000 
     within the Fund for the Improvement of Education for the 
     survey and additional funding within IES.
       The conference agreement does not include funding for a 
     pilot study to develop a student unit record data system as 
     requested by the Administration as proposed by the House. The 
     Senate did not include similar language.
       The conference agreement includes funding above the fiscal 
     year 2007 level to support 12th grade State reading and math 
     assessments, as well as scheduled assessments in other 
     subjects approved by the National Assessment Governing Board. 
     The Senate included similar language. The House did not 
     include funds for this purpose.
       The conference agreement includes $2,000,000 to support the 
     expansion of the number of urban districts that can 
     participate in the trial urban district assessment. The House 
     provided $3,000,000 for this purpose. The Senate did not 
     include funds for this purpose. The conferees expect the 
     National Assessment Governing Board to use its existing 
     criteria in determining the districts to be added to the 
     assessment.
       The conferees request that the National Assessment 
     Governing Board make particular certifications regarding the 
     National Assessment of Educational Progress 2009 science 
     test, as described in section 310 of H.R. 3043, as passed by 
     the Senate. The House bill did not include a similar 
     provision.
       The conferees request the Government Accountability Office 
     to conduct a study on strategies used to prepare students to 
     meet State academic standards, as described in section 313 of 
     H.R. 3043, as passed by the Senate. The House bill did not 
     include a similar provision.

                        Departmental Management


                         Program Adminstration

       The conference agreement includes $420,698,000 for 
     Departmental program administration instead of $219,487,000 
     as proposed by the House and $420,631,000 as proposed by the 
     Senate.
       The conferees require the Secretary of Education to assess 
     the impact on education felt by students in States with a 
     high proportion of Federal lands compared to students in non-
     public land States and to submit a report no later than one 
     year after enactment of this Act. The Senate had a similar 
     requirement in bill language. The House did not have similar 
     language.


                    Office of the Inspector General

       The agreement includes $53,239,000 for the Office of the 
     Inspector General as proposed by the House instead of 
     $54,239,000 as proposed by the Senate.

                           General Provisions


                     one percent transfer authority

                          (transfer of funds)

       The conference agreement includes a general provision 
     similar to that proposed by the Senate providing the 
     Secretary of the Education Department with the authority to

                         salaries and expenses

       The conference agreement includes $400,000 for the National 
     Commission on Libraries and Information Science as proposed 
     by the Senate. The House did not include funds for this 
     activity. The conferees instruct that these funds be used for

                     National Labor Relations Board


                         salaries and expenses

       The conference agreement includes $256,988,000 for the 
     National Labor Relations Board as proposed by the Senate 
     instead of $257,488,000 as proposed by the House. The 
     conferees concur with language in the House report 
     designating $525,000 for training activities and $225,000 for 
     field-headquarters details for National Labor Relations Board 
     employees. The Senate report did not contain similar 
     language.

                        National Mediation Board


                         salaries and expenses

       Within the total for the National Mediation Board, the 
     conference agreement includes language designating $750,000 
     for arbitrator salaries. The conferees intend these resources 
     to be an increase over the President's request. The House and 
     Senate reports included similar language.

                       Railroad Retirement Board


                     dual benefits payment account

       The conference agreement includes language in the House 
     bill providing that 2 percent of the amount available for 
     payment of vested dual benefits will be available for the 
     dual benefits contingency reserve. The Senate bill contained 
     a similar provision that specifically designated the amount 
     available.


             limitation on the office of inspector general

       The conference agreement includes $7,803,000 for the Office 
     of Inspector General instead of $7,606,000 included in the 
     House bill and $8,000,000 included in the Senate bill. The 
     conferees concur with language in the Senate bill that 
     prohibits the transfer of funds to the Office of the 
     Inspector General. The House bill did not include similar 
     language. The agreement also includes a provision that allows 
     the Office of Inspector General to conduct audits, 
     investigations, and reviews of the Medicare programs. The 
     House bill did not include similar language.

                     Social Security Administration

       The conference agreement includes $27,014,000,000 for the 
     Supplemental Security Income Program instead of 
     $26,948,525,000 as proposed by the House and $27,005,500,000 
     as proposed by the Senate. The conference agreement also 
     includes an advance appropriation of $14,800,000,000, as 
     proposed by both the House and the Senate, for the first 
     quarter of fiscal year 2009, to ensure uninterrupted benefit 
     payments. Within the total, $3,086,000,000 is included for 
     the administrative costs of the program instead of 
     $3,020,525,000 as proposed by the House and $3,076,500,000 as 
     proposed by the Senate.
       Also within the total, the conference agreement includes 
     $27,000,000, as proposed by the House, for research and 
     demonstration activities instead of $28,000,000 as proposed 
     by the Senate. The conference agreement provides funds to 
     support the National Center on Senior Benefits Outreach and 
     Enrollment within the Administration on Aging rather than in 
     the Social Security Administration (SSA) as proposed by the 
     Senate. The House did not provide funding for this activity 
     within SSA.


                 limitation on administrative expenses

       The conference agreement includes $9,871,953,000 for the 
     limitation on administrative expenses, as proposed by the 
     Senate, instead of $9,696,953,000 as proposed by the House. 
     The detailed table at the end of this joint statement 
     reflects the activity distribution agreed to by the 
     conferees.
       The conferees request that the Government Accountability 
     Office (GAO) evaluate the Social Security Administration's 
     plan to reduce the hearing backlog for disability claims at 
     the Social Security Administration, as described in the 
     report submitted by the Commissioner on September 13, 2007, 
     pursuant to Senate Report 110-107. The conferees request that 
     GAO also recommend any legislative changes based on its 
     evaluation of the plan. The House did not propose similar 
     language.
       The conferees also request that GAO assess existing 
     authorities to hire, manage, and ensure accountability of 
     administrative law judges in the proper administration of 
     their duties and make recommendations for legislative changes 
     that will support those findings. The Senate bill proposed 
     similar language. The House did not propose similar language 
     in either the bill or report.

                     (including transfer of funds)

     total, the conference agreement includes $27,000,000, as 
     proposed by the House, from Federal funds instead of

     increased funding for the Social Security Administration by

  DIVISION B--MILITARY CONSTRUCTION AND VETERANS AFFAIRS AND RELATED 
                   AGENCIES APPROPRIATIONS ACT, 2008

       This joint statement describes the effect of the conference 
     agreement relative to the versions of the Military 
     Construction and Veterans Affairs and Related Agencies 
     Appropriations Act (H.R. 2642) as passed by the House of 
     Representatives and the Senate. References to amounts or 
     language proposed by the House of Representatives or the 
     Senate refer to amounts and language in the House or Senate 
     passed versions of H.R. 2642 or in the accompanying committee 
     reports (House Report 110-186 and Senate Report 110-85).
       The Senate amendment to the text deleted the entire House 
     bill after the enacting clause and inserted the Senate bill. 
     The conference agreement includes a revised bill.
       Matters Addressed by Only One Committee.--The language and 
     allocations set forth in House Report 110-186 and Senate 
     Report 110-85 should be complied with unless specifically 
     addressed to the contrary in the conference report and 
     statement of the managers. Report language included by the 
     House, which is not changed by the report of the Senate or 
     the conference, and Senate report language, which is not 
     changed by the conference is approved by the committee of 
     conference. The statement of the managers, while repeating 
     some report language for emphasis, does not intend to negate 
     the language referred to above unless expressly provided 
     herein. In cases where the House or the Senate have directed 
     the submission of a report, such report is to be submitted to 
     both Houses of Congress.

                                TITLE I

                         Department of Defense


                       items of general interest

       ``Grow the Force''.--The conferees note that the President, 
     in the fiscal year 2008 budget submission to Congress, did 
     not identify individual projects associated with the 
     Administration's $2,820,898,000 ``Grow the Force'' 
     initiative, instead requesting lump sum funding for the 
     initiative. Detailed information on individual projects was 
     not provided by the Army and Marine Corps until weeks after 
     the budget submission. The conferees provide full funding for 
     this initiative, by project, and have identified the ``Grow 
     the Force'' projects in the table at the back of the 
     statement of the managers. The conferees remind the 
     Department that the ``Grow the Force'' projects for which the 
     President requested lump sum funding are part of the regular 
     military construction program and are therefore subject to 
     the same notification and reprogramming requirements that 
     apply to all military construction appropriations.
       Construction Inflation.--The conferees are concerned by the 
     continuing impact of high inflation rates for construction 
     material prices and labor costs. These high rates have made 
     it increasingly difficult for the services and Defense 
     agencies to execute their military construction and family 
     housing construction programs in a timely manner without 
     scope reductions, project cancellations, and reprogramming 
     requests. Given the enormous volume of construction to be 
     completed over the next five years due to BRAC, global 
     rebasing, end-strength increases for the Army and Marine 
     Corps, and numerous smaller initiatives, realistic budgeting 
     for construction inflation is necessary if the quality of 
     life and quality of service for military personnel and their 
     families are to be maintained at a high level. The conferees 
     are dismayed by the failure of the Office of Management and 
     Budget and the Department of Defense to incorporate realistic 
     inflation estimates in the budget submissions, even though 
     the consequences of this failure are predictable. The 
     conferees support and encourage current efforts to more 
     accurately account for regional variations in construction 
     inflation; however, the conferees also believe that such 
     efforts will be of limited value if the overall inflation 
     figure used by the Administration to build the military 
     construction program is unrealistically low. The conferees 
     direct the Department of Defense to report to the Committees 
     on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress on the baseline 
     construction inflation rate incorporated in the fiscal year 
     2009 military construction and family housing budget request, 
     as well as a justification for that rate, no later than seven 
     days following the submission of that request to Congress.
       Integrated Construction Plans for the ``Grow the Force,'' 
     Global Basing, and Base Realignment and Closure 
     Initiatives.--The conferees remain concerned about the 
     ability of the Department of Defense to effectively 
     coordinate and integrate the significant construction demands 
     of the ``Grow the Force'' initiative with the equally 
     daunting construction programs associated with the 
     Department's global rebasing plan and the 2005 Base 
     Realignment and Closure program, particularly within the 
     short timeframe allotted for the completion of each of these 
     initiatives. The conferees agree that the Secretary of 
     Defense shall submit a separate report to the Committees on 
     Appropriations of both Houses of Congress by January 31, 
     2008, identifying the installations at which there is any 
     overlap of military construction and/or family housing 
     construction among any or all of the three initiatives. In 
     addition to a detailed list of the projects by installation, 
     the report should include the projected timeline for 
     completing each of the identified projects and the 
     projected timeline for the movement of military personnel 
     associated with the initiatives into the affected 
     installations.
       Government Accountability Office (GAO) Review of Global 
     Defense Posture Report.--The conferees agree that the GAO 
     review of the status of the Defense Department's Global 
     Defense Posture should be submitted to the Committees on 
     Appropriations of both Houses of Congress no later than April 
     15, 2008.
       Failure to Comply With Report Deadlines.--The conferees 
     note the Department of Defense's failure to comply with 
     deadlines for several reports directed by the Committees on 
     Appropriations of both Houses of Congress. These deadlines 
     have passed without the reports being delivered, or even 
     notice from the Department as to why it has been unable to 
     meet the deadlines. Some of these reports are merely 
     collections of data that are readily available. The conferees 
     find this delay unacceptable. These reports are directed to 
     ensure proper congressional oversight and to inform 
     congressional decisions on the Department's budget requests. 
     The conferees direct the Department to submit all reports 
     directed by House Report 110-186 and Senate Report 110-85 
     that are currently overdue, or an explanation of why these 
     reports have not been delivered along with the expected date 
     of delivery, no later than seven days after the enactment of 
     this Act. The conferees direct the Department and the 
     services to meet future reporting deadlines. If future 
     deadlines are not met, the Department or service shall submit 
     an explanation for the failure to deliver and the expected 
     date of delivery no later than seven days after the deadline.
       Incrementally Funded Projects.--The conferees note that the 
     Administration requested several large military construction 
     projects that can be incrementally funded, but were instead 
     submitted as large single-year requests, in accordance with a 
     directive from the Office of Management and Budget to the 
     Department of Defense to severely restrict the use of 
     incremental funding for military construction. The Committees 
     on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress have previously 
     notified the Administration that they reserve the prerogative 
     to provide incremental funding where appropriate, in 
     accordance with authorizing legislation. The conferees 
     continue to believe that military construction projects 
     should be fully funded or separated into stand-alone phases 
     when practical. In some cases, however, incremental funding 
     makes fiscal and programmatic sense. The conferees have 
     therefore agreed that the following projects will be 
     incrementally funded: Fuel Storage Facilities, Point Loma, 
     California; Southern Command Headquarters, Miami, Florida; 
     Submarine Drive-in Magnetic Silencing Facility, Pearl Harbor, 
     Hawaii; SOF Operations Facility, Dam Neck Annex, Virginia; 
     Kilo Wharf, Naval Base Guam; and Brigade Operations Support 
     Facility and Brigade Barracks/Community Facility, Vicenza, 
     Italy.
       Guam Master Plan.--The conferees agree that the massive 
     construction program planned to expand the presence of the 
     U.S. military on Guam presents a major challenge to the 
     Department of Defense, and requires a well-planned execution 
     strategy. However, the conferees are concerned that the 
     Senate provision requiring the Secretary of Defense to submit 
     a master plan for Guam by December 29, 2007, does not give 
     the Department adequate time to complete the plan, 
     particularly in view of the ongoing environmental assessments 
     being conducted on Guam. The conferees do not concur with the 
     Senate position and instead direct the Secretary of Defense 
     to submit to the Committees on Appropriations of both Houses 
     of Congress no later than September 15, 2008, a report on the 
     Department's planning efforts for Guam. The report should 
     identify in detail the size and makeup of the U.S. military 
     forces to be located on Guam, the number of dependents 
     expected to accompany those forces, and the infrastructure 
     required to support the troops and their families. The report 
     should also outline the Department's plan to accomplish the 
     projected level of construction associated with the build-up, 
     within the constrained construction capacity of Guam, and the 
     infrastructure required to

[[Page H12666]]

     support the anticipated increase in the construction 
     workforce. The Department is further directed to provide an 
     updated funding plan for both the military and family housing 
     construction, and the associated Defense education and 
     Defense logistics infrastructure needed, and a status report 
     on the availability and funding mechanism of the $6.1 billion 
     that the Government of Japan has agreed to contribute.

                      Military Construction, Army


                    (including rescission of funds)

       The conference agreement appropriates $3,950,383,000 for 
     Military Construction, Army, instead of $4,070,959,000 as 
     proposed by the House and $3,928,149,000 as proposed by the 
     Senate. Within this amount, the conference agreement provides

       Of the funds rescinded from Public Law 110-5, the 
     conference agreement rescinds $7,592,000 from a Missile 
     Defense Agency (MDA) project on Kwajalein Atoll and directs 
     MDA to fund this project using its research, development, 
     testing and evaluation construction authority. The conference 
     agreement also rescinds $2,600,000 from contingency 
     construction in Public Law 110-5. The fiscal year 2007 
     National Defense Authorization Act authorized a project to 
     replace a fuel truck loading facility on Wake Island. The 
     Department of Defense opted not to execute this project, 
     shifting the funds to the contingency construction sub-
     account. A cancellation notice for the Wake Island project 
     was not submitted until October 16, 2007 even though 
     Pacific Air Forces had decided to place the island in 
     caretaker status in March 2007. The conferees remind the 
     Department that timely notification of project 
     cancellations is mandatory in accordance with 10 U.S.C. 
     2853.

     provided for the Army and $50,000,000 is provided for the

     expenditure plan for the additional funds provided no later

                TITLE II--DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS

                       Items of General Interest

       Veterans Rights and Feedback.--The conferees are encouraged 
     by the progress the Department has made in providing veterans 
     with the opportunity to offer feedback and obtain assistance 
     through the Internet and the use of toll-free telephone 
     numbers. The conferees agree there are additional measures 
     the Department should take to enhance these programs and to 
     ensure that the Secretary, the Under Secretary for Health, 
     the Under Secretary for Benefits, and the Office of Inspector 
     General are kept informed of the feedback that is provided. 
     The conference agreement includes sufficient funding to 
     ensure the Department is able to provide a clearly marked, 
     direct link that allows veterans to seek assistance and 
     provide feedback on the Veterans Affairs Internet home page; 
     provide a separate toll-free telephone number for the 
     Veterans Health Administration and for the Veterans Benefits 
     Administration that allows a veteran to check on his or her 
     eligibility, seek assistance in obtaining services and/or 
     resolving difficulties, and provide feedback; and provide the 
     Secretary, the Under Secretary for Health, the Under 
     Secretary for Benefits, and the Office of Inspector General 
     with a report that informs them of the types of issues that 
     are being addressed through these systems so that they may 
     more easily identify evolving problems and take early 
     corrective action. The Secretary is directed to report to the 
     Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress by 
     February 1, 2008, on the actions that have been taken to 
     implement this direction. Further, the Under Secretary for 
     Health is directed to report to the Committees on 
     Appropriations of both Houses of Congress by March 3, 2008, 
     on the actions that have been taken to ensure that patient 
     advocate contact information, including a telephone number, 
     is clearly posted in all clinics, on all inpatient wards, and 
     at the entrance of every Veterans Health Administration 
     facility.
       Services for Women Veterans.--The conferees agree more can 
     be done by the Department to refine its programs, services 
     and outreach efforts in order to inform women veterans of 
     their eligibility status and improve their access to 
     services. While the conference agreement does not retain the 
     provision proposed by the House under General Operating 
     Expenses, the conference agreement includes sufficient funds 
     for the operation of both the Advisory Committee on Women 
     Veterans and the Center for Women Veterans. Additionally, the 
     conferees direct the Department to report to the Committees 
     on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress by February 1, 
     2008, on the actions that have been taken to implement the 
     recommendations of the Advisory Committee on Women Veterans 
     2006 Report. The conferees further direct the Government 
     Accountability Office (GAO) to report to the Committees on 
     Appropriations of both Houses of Congress by September 1, 
     2008, an assessment of the adequacy of mental health 
     services provided by the Departments of Veterans Affairs 
     to women veterans.
       Reprogrammings.--The conferees would like to emphasize that 
     reprogrammings permitted by this Act are to be transmitted to 
     Congress in a timely manner.
       Quarterly Financial Report.--The quarterly financial report 
     required by this Act shall contain, at a minimum, both the 
     planned and actual expenditure rates, unobligated balances, 
     potential financial shortfalls, any transfers between major 
     accounts (medical services, medical administration, and 
     medical facilities), and status of any equipment or non-
     recurring maintenance funds--including whether they have been 
     used to pay for operating expenses. In addition, the service 
     portion of the report will contain, at a minimum, the time 
     required for new patients to get their first appointment, the 
     time required for established patients to get their next 
     appointment, and the number of unique veterans and patients 
     being served. Each report should address data for the system 
     total and for each VISN. Further, the conferees direct that 
     the Department include progress reports on the revision of 
     the International Classification of Diseases--9th Revision 
     (ICD-9) codes with respect to Traumatic Brain Injury.
       Contracting Out.--The conferees note that the competition 
     requirement provided in this Act already applies to the 
     Department of Veterans Affairs. For any function performed by 
     more than ten employees, the Department, like other agencies 
     covered by this competition requirement, must conduct a 
     public-private competition, involving both a Most Efficient 
     Organization plan and a Minimum Cost Differential, before 
     that function can be converted to contractor performance. 
     Unless specifically excluded, the Department of Veterans 
     Affairs would be held to any successor public-private 
     competition requirements included in legislation, as well as 
     38 U.S.C. 8110(a)(5).

                    Veterans Benefits Administration


                       compensation and pensions

                     (including transfer of funds)

       The conference agreement appropriates $41,236,322,000 for 
     Compensation and Pensions as proposed by both the House and 
     the Senate. Of the amount provided, not more than $28,583,000 
     is to be transferred to General Operating Expenses and 
     Medical Administration for reimbursement of necessary 
     expenses in implementing provisions of title 38.


                         readjustment benefits

       The conference agreement appropriates $3,300,289,000 for 
     Readjustment Benefits as proposed by both the House and the 
     Senate.


                   veterans insurance and indemnities

       The conference agreement appropriates $41,250,000 for 
     Veterans Insurance and Indemnities as proposed by both the 
     House and the Senate.


         veterans housing benefit program fund program account

       The conference agreement appropriates such sums as may be 
     necessary for costs associated with direct and guaranteed 
     loans for the Veterans Housing Benefit Program Fund Program 
     Account as proposed by both the House and the Senate. The 
     agreement limits obligations for direct loans to not more 
     than $500,000 and provides that $154,562,000 shall be 
     available for administrative expenses. The conference 
     agreement does not include a transfer provision as proposed 
     by the House.


            vocational rehabilitation loans program account

                     (including transfer of funds)

       The conference agreement appropriates $71,000 for the cost 
     of direct loans from the

[[Page H12670]]

     Vocational Rehabilitation Loans Program Account as proposed 
     by both the House and the Senate, plus $311,000 to be 
     transferred to and merged with General Operating Expenses. 
     The conference agreement provides for a direct loan 
     limitation of $3,287,000 as proposed by both the House and 
     the Senate.


          native american veteran housing loan program account

       The conference agreement appropriates $628,000 for 
     administrative expenses of the Native American Veteran 
     Housing Loan Program Account as proposed by both the House 
     and the Senate. The conference agreement does not include a 
     transfer provision or loan limitation as proposed by the 
     House.


  guaranteed transitional housing loans for homeless veterans program 
                                account

       The conference agreement provides up to $750,000 of the 
     funds available in General Operating Expenses and Medical 
     Administration to carry out the Guaranteed Transitional 
     Housing Loans for Homeless Veterans Program Account as 
     proposed by both the House and the Senate.

                     Veterans Health Administration

       Health Care Sharing Incentive Fund.--The conferees have 
     included bill language to allow a minimum of $15,000,000, to 
     be transferred to the Health Care Sharing Incentive Fund to 
     facilitate collaboration between the Departments of Defense 
     and Veterans Affairs. The conferees agree the most important 
     area for collaboration and investment between these 
     departments is to ensure a seamless transition for our 
     veterans. While the conferees do not intend to preclude the 
     use of this fund for any joint project, the conferees 
     strongly urge that priority for funding be given to the 
     implementation of recommendations of the Report on the 
     President's Commission on Care for America's Returning 
     Wounded Warriors, July 2007. The conferees further urge the 
     Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs to seek every 
     opportunity to partner to improve the continuity of care for 
     our veterans through joint clinics; joint Centers of 
     Excellence for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and 
     Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI); joint research and/or 
     treatment; and the development of joint clinical practice 
     guidelines for polytrauma injury, traumatic brain injury (to 
     include diagnostics), blast injury, mental health/PTSD, burn, 
     and amputee patients based on evidence based medicine.
       Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI).--Current data make it 
     difficult for the Department to provide budget information on 
     TBI as a Select Program. The conferees are encouraged to 
     learn the Department is working with the National Center for 
     Health Statistics and the Department of Defense to refine 
     current International Classification of Diseases-9th Revision 
     (ICD-9) codes to better reflect the TBI patient population 
     within the Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs. The 
     conferees direct the Department of Veterans Affairs to 
     include an update of progress on the revision of the ICD-9 
     codes for TBI within the quarterly reports provided to 
     Congress during fiscal year 2008. The conferees also direct 
     the Department of Veterans Affairs to include TBI as a Select 
     Program within the Medical Services account in the fiscal 
     year 2009 budget submission and all future budget submissions 
     thereafter.
       Level I Polytrauma Centers and Centers of Excellence on 
     Mental Health and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).--The 
     conferees agree that every effort must be made to ensure that 
     the Level I polytrauma centers and the Centers of Excellence 
     on Mental Health and PTSD are resourced to provide the very 
     best in medical care to our veterans who have suffered 
     multiple trauma injuries or require mental health services. 
     The conference agreement has increased funding within the 
     Veterans Health Administration accounts to ensure that the 
     current Level I polytrauma centers and the Centers of 
     Excellence on Mental Health and PTSD will be fully staffed 
     and operational in fiscal year 2008.
       Credentialing and Privileging in Rural Health Care 
     Facilities.--The conferees are concerned about potential 
     quality of care issues that may exist in rural VA medical 
     facilities, including the qualifications of medical 
     professionals. The conferees direct the Government 
     Accountability Office to assess the standards that are being 
     followed in rural VA hospitals, including the consistency 
     with which VA standards are being applied across urban and 
     rural facilities.


                            medical services

                     (including transfer of funds)

       The conference agreement appropriates $29,104,220,000 for 
     Medical Services, instead of $29,031,400,000 as proposed by 
     the House and $28,979,220,000 as proposed by the Senate. 
     Additionally, the Senate had proposed an additional 
     $125,000,000 in section 230 of the administrative provisions.
       Of the amount provided, $1,350,000,000 is available for 
     obligation until September 30, 2009 as proposed by the 
     Senate, instead of $1,100,000,000 as proposed by the House. 
     The conferees also agree that the Department shall spend not 
     less than $2,900,000,000 for specialty mental health services 
     as proposed by the House and not less than $130,000,000 for 
     the homeless grants and per diem program.
       The conference agreement includes a net increase of 
     $1,936,549,000 above the budget request in order to address 
     shortfalls anticipated in the Department's projection of 
     health care demand and to address the Department's failure to 
     adjust the beneficiary travel reimbursement rate despite 
     consistently rising gasoline prices. The conference agreement 
     includes a 5.5 percent increase for workload and a 4.45 
     percent increase for inflation which the conferees believe is 
     necessary to ensure that sufficient funding is available to 
     maintain services at their current level. The agreement also 
     includes an additional $125,000,000 to increase the 
     beneficiary travel reimbursement mileage rate to 28.5 cents 
     per mile; an additional $70,000,000 for substance abuse 
     services; an additional $12,500,000 for expanded outpatient 
     services for the blind; an additional $15,000,000 for Vet 
     Centers; and provides sufficient funding to allow for 
     additional personnel for the HUD-Veterans Affairs Supportive 
     Housing Program to address any increase in the number of 
     vouchers offered and directs the Department to increase the 
     number of case workers as necessary to accommodate the 
     increase in vouchers.
       Mental Health and Substance Abuse.--The conferees are 
     concerned mental health and substance abuse services were not 
     sufficiently addressed within the fiscal year 2008 budget 
     submission which includes a reduction in the number of 
     inpatient beds for psychiatric care and an anticipated 
     increase of less than one percent for substance abuse 
     services. The conferees believe these projections are 
     unrealistic and have increased funding within the Medical 
     Services account in order to increase access to substance 
     abuse services; ensure that adequate inpatient psychiatric 
     care is maintained; and to allow the Department to pursue all 
     opportunities to improve access to mental health services for 
     all veterans. To this end, the Department is directed to re-
     examine the policy for a reduction in psychiatric inpatient 
     care, taking into account the needs of returning Operation 
     Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom (OEF/OIF) 
     veterans and the recommendations of OIG Report: Implementing 
     VHA's Mental Health Strategic Plan Initiatives for Suicide 
     Prevention, May 10, 2007, and is further directed to report 
     to the Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of 
     Congress by February 29, 2008, the findings of this review 
     and what additional resources have been utilized to ensure 
     that adequate inpatient care is available. Further, the 
     conferees direct the Department not to reduce the number of 
     inpatient psychiatric beds at any facility that currently has 
     a waiting list. Additionally, the Department is directed to 
     report to the Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of 
     Congress by February 1, 2008, on its plan to better utilize 
     all opportunities to improve access to mental health services 
     for all veterans. This report should include, but not be 
     limited to, the Department's plan to better utilize the 
     services of the Community Mental Health Centers; 
     implementation of peer training programs; additional fee-
     basis access to local mental health providers; mobile Vet 
     Centers; and the development of Internet based services like 
     the Network of Care for Mental Health recommended in the 
     President's New Freedom Commission on Mental Health.
       HIV/AIDS Among Veterans.--The conferees concur with the 
     Senate's recommendations on the VA health care system's HIV 
     testing policy guidelines and direct the Department to submit 
     a progress report to the Committees on Appropriations of both 
     Houses of Congress by January 30, 2008.
       Access to Medical Care in Remote Rural Areas.--The 
     conferees direct the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to report 
     to the Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of 
     Congress not later than six months after the date of the 
     enactment of this Act, a description of: the unique 
     challenges and costs faced by veterans in remote rural areas 
     of contiguous and non-contiguous States when obtaining 
     medical services from the Department of Veterans Affairs, and 
     the need to improve access to locally administered care for 
     veterans who reside in remote rural areas. The report should 
     also identify the need to fund alternative sources of medical 
     services in areas where facilities of the Department of 
     Veterans Affairs are not accessible to veterans without 
     leaving such areas; and in cases in which receipt of medical 
     services by a veteran in a facility of the Department 
     requires transportation of such veteran by air due to 
     geographic and infrastructural constraints. The report should 
     also contain an assessment of the potential for increasing 
     local access to medical services for veterans in remote rural 
     areas of contiguous and non-contiguous States through 
     strategic partnerships with other government and local 
     private health care providers.


                         medical administration

       The conference agreement appropriates $3,517,000,000 for 
     Medical Administration, instead of $3,510,600,000 as proposed 
     by the House and $3,642,000,000 as proposed by the Senate.
       Office of Rural Health.--The conferees agree the Office of 
     Rural Health is vital to ensuring that equal access to health 
     care is provided to all of our returning Reserve and National 
     Guard veterans. While the conferees do not earmark a specific 
     amount for the office, the conferees have provided sufficient 
     funding within Medical Administration to ensure a robust 
     Office of Rural Health. The conferees strongly encourage the 
     Department to make full use of this office and direct the 
     Secretary to submit a report to the Committees on 
     Appropriations of both Houses of Congress on the actions that 
     have been taken to improve access to health in rural areas by 
     February 1, 2008.

[[Page H12671]]

                           medical facilities

       The conference agreement appropriates $4,100,000,000 for 
     Medical Facilities as proposed by the House, instead of 
     $4,092,000,000 as proposed by the Senate. The agreement also 
     includes language allowing $350,000,000 of the funds to be 
     available until September 30, 2009, as proposed by the 
     Senate, instead of $250,000,000 as proposed by the House. The 
     conference agreement further specifies that $325,000,000 for 
     non-recurring maintenance shall be allocated in a manner not 
     subject to the Veterans Equitable Resource Allocation model, 
     instead of $300,000,000 as proposed by the House and 
     $350,000,000 as proposed by the Senate. The conferees are in 
     agreement that the funding provided above the budget request 
     shall be used to address both facility condition assessment 
     deficiencies and other essential requirements.
       Non-Recurring Maintenance.--The conferees remain concerned 
     that the Department is not adequately addressing specific 
     issues regarding obligation of non-recurring maintenance 
     (NRM) funds raised in a May 16, 2007, GAO report. The 
     conferees fully expect that by fiscal year 2009 the 
     Department will be obligating not more than twenty percent of 
     its annual allocation of NRM funds in the last two months of 
     the fiscal year. By May 16, 2008, the Department shall submit 
     to the Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of 
     Congress a report outlining these management objectives and a 
     business plan to reach that goal.
       Community Based Outpatient Clinics.--The conferees direct 
     the Department to provide the Committees on Appropriations of 
     both Houses of Congress with a report on the actual number of 
     Community Based Outpatient Clinics (CBOC) opened in fiscal 
     year 2007 and the planned CBOC activations in fiscal year 
     2008. In addition, the conferees further direct the 
     Department to examine the need for, and report on the 
     feasibility of and/or plans for clinics in the following 
     locations: El Centro, California; rural Colorado; Brandon, 
     Florida; Statesboro, Georgia; Belleville, Illinois; Moline, 
     Illinois; Whiteside County, Illinois; Plymouth, 
     Massachusetts; Dover-Foxcroft, Maine; Houlton, Maine; 
     Lewiston-Auburn, Maine; Plattsburg, New York; Riverhead, New 
     York; Southeastern Pennsylvania; Port Angeles, Washington; 
     Wenatchee, Washington; Green Bay, Wisconsin; and Lynchburg, 
     Virginia.


                    medical and prosthetic research

       The conference agreement appropriates $480,000,000 for 
     Medical and Prosthetic Research as proposed by the House, 
     instead of $500,000,000 as proposed by the Senate.

                    National Cemetery Administration

       The conference agreement appropriates $195,000,000 for the 
     National Cemetery Administration, instead of $170,000,000 as 
     proposed by the House and $217,709,000 as proposed by the 
     Senate. Of the amount provided, $20,000,000 is available 
     until September 30, 2009, instead of $7,800,000 as proposed 
     by the House and $25,000,000 as proposed by the Senate. The 
     amount provided includes $900,000 from the Information 
     Technology Systems account which was erroneously transferred 
     during the recent reorganization of information technology 
     programs.
       The conferees have provided $28,191,000 in additional 
     funding for the National Cemetery Administration to correct 
     gravesite deficiencies at VA's national cemeteries, including 
     those identified in the 2002 Millennium Act report to 
     Congress. These repairs include gravesite renovation projects 
     to replace turf, repair sunken graves, and raise, realign and 
     clean headstones.

                      Departmental Administration


                       general operating expenses

       The conference agreement appropriates $1,605,000,000 for 
     General Operating Expenses, instead of $1,598,500,000 as 
     proposed by the House and $1,612,031,000 as proposed by the 
     Senate. The conference agreement provides not less than 
     $1,327,001,000 for the Veterans Benefits Administration, 
     instead of $1,324,957,000 as proposed by the House and 
     $1,329,044,000 as proposed by the Senate. Of the amount 
     provided, $75,000,000 is available for obligation until 
     September 30, 2009, as proposed by both the House and the 
     Senate.
       The agreement also provides for a limitation on the 
     purchase of passenger motor vehicles for use in operation by 
     the Veterans Benefits Administration in Manila, Philippines.
       The conference agreement does not include language as 
     proposed by the House, which would have provided $2,000,000 
     for the Advisory Committee on Women Veterans. This issue is 
     addressed in the Departmental overview section of this 
     statement of the managers.
       Funding Increases.--The conferees agree to provide an 
     increase of $133,163,000 for General Operating Expenses when 
     compared to the President's budget request. The conferees 
     agree to provide $124,219,000 for the hiring of additional 
     claims processors. Based upon data provided by the Department 
     to the Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of 
     Congress in response to reporting requirements included in 
     the report accompanying Public Law 110-28, the cost per new 
     hire will enable the Department to hire more than 1,800 new 
     claims processors with the funding provided. In addition, the 
     conferees have provided $2,000,000 for the leasing of office 
     space to house these new employees. As the Department 
     experiences an increase in the number of claims being filed, 
     as well as an increase in the number of appeals, both the 
     Board of Veterans Appeals and the Office of General Counsel 
     will require additional personnel to handle these appeals. 
     Therefore, the conferees have provided an increase of 
     $3,724,000 for the Board of Veterans Appeals and $3,220,000 
     for the Office of General Counsel.


                     information technology systems

       The conference agreement appropriates $1,966,465,000 for 
     Information Technology Systems, instead of $1,859,217,000 as 
     proposed by the House and $1,898,000,000 as proposed by the 
     Senate. The conference agreement directs the Department to 
     submit an expenditure plan to the Committees on 
     Appropriations of both Houses of Congress within 30 days 
     of enactment as proposed by the House, instead of 60 days 
     of enactment as proposed by the Senate.
       The amount provided includes a reduction of $1,100,000 
     which has been transferred to the Office of Inspector 
     General. The conferees have included an increase of 
     $39,683,000 for computers and other information technology 
     needs associated with the increase in claims processors for 
     the Veterans Benefits Administration and for increased staff 
     in other offices related to claims processing. Additionally, 
     the conferees agree to provide $8,000,000 for an insurance 
     card buffer system and $8,000,000 for the Veterans Health 
     Administration Chief Logistics Office information technology 
     support. Both of these program shortfalls were identified by 
     the Department subsequent to completion of the House and 
     Senate action on their respective appropriations bills. The 
     conferees have also included $10,200,000 for the information 
     technology costs associated with activation of new community 
     based outpatient clinics, an expense that was underfunded in 
     the budget submission.
       On September 6, 2007, the Secretary of Veterans Affairs 
     informed the Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of 
     Congress of his intention to reorganize the information 
     technology development functions within the Department of 
     Veterans Affairs. The budget request for Information 
     Technology Systems included a consolidation of all payroll-
     associated costs for operations and maintenance under the 
     Information Technology account. The conference agreement 
     reflects this consolidation; however, the conferees direct 
     the VA to track payroll and non-pay costs separately in 
     future budget submissions. In addition, to further the 
     Department's consolidation objective, the conferees have 
     agreed to include an increase of $42,465,000 to preclude the 
     need to transfer funds from the General Operating Expenses, 
     Medical Services, Medical Facilities, and Medical and 
     Prosthetic Research accounts.
       The conferees are in agreement that the Department should 
     take all steps necessary to ensure that the entire 
     information technology reorganization has no negative impact 
     on providing vital services to veterans, nor should it impede 
     the ability of health care providers and researchers in 
     carrying out their duties.
       Electronic Medical Record.--The conferees direct the 
     Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs to issue a joint 
     report to the Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of 
     Congress (subcommittees on Defense and Military Construction/
     Veterans Affairs) by April 1, 2008, detailing the actions 
     being taken by each Department to achieve an interoperable 
     electronic medical record (EMR) system. The report should 
     include, but not be limited to, a detailed spending plan for 
     the use of funding provided in the Joint Incentive Fund as 
     well as identify all other ongoing and planned projects and 
     programs within each Department addressing interoperability, 
     including funding provided. The report should clearly 
     identify the Departments' goals for interoperability and how 
     these projects and programs will address those goals.


                      office of inspector general

       The conference agreement appropriates $80,500,000 for the 
     Office of Inspector General, instead of $76,500,000 as 
     proposed by the House and $88,700,000 as proposed by the 
     Senate. Of the amount provided, $5,000,000 is available for 
     obligation until September 30, 2009, instead of $3,630,000 as 
     proposed by both the House and the Senate.
       The conference agreement includes an additional $7,901,000 
     above the budget request for the Office of Inspector General. 
     The additional funding includes $1,100,000 for information 
     technology systems unique to the Office of Inspector General, 
     as well as additional funding for new positions so that the 
     Inspector General can expand and improve its independent 
     oversight in critical areas, including transitional health 
     care for veterans returning from the wars in Iraq and 
     Afghanistan and Department of Veterans Affairs information 
     technology programs.

     Construction, Major Projects, instead of $1,410,800,000 as 
     proposed by the House and $727,400,000 as proposed by the 
     Senate. The conference agreement includes a provision 
     proposed by the House which places a limitation on the use of 
     funds related to 18 facilities on the Capital Asset 
     Realignment for Enhanced Services list requiring further 
     study. The Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The conferees are aware that the Department's budget 
     request of $40,285,000 for the Advanced Planning Fund will 
     not be sufficient to address projects on the Department's 5-
     Year Capital Plan for fiscal years 2009 through 2012. 
     Therefore, the conferees have included an additional 
     $9,200,000 in funding to begin the preliminary planning

[[Page H12672]]

     process to address identified construction needs.
       Additionally, the conferees agree to provide $322,500,000

     projects, including necessary cost adjustments. The 
     Department is directed to provide the Committees on 
     Appropriations of both Houses of Congress with a detailed 
     list of how these funds will be allocated, within 60 days 
     of enactment of this Act.
       New Orleans Veterans Medical Center.--The conferees direct 
     the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to report to the Committees 
     on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress not later than

     the status of any current construction, and an assessment of 
     the adequacy of funding necessary to complete the 
     reconstruction. If reconstruction of the Medical Center is 
     subject to any major delay, the report shall include a 
     description of each such delay, an explanation for each such 
     delay, and a description of actions being taken or planned to 
     address the delay. Additionally, within 60 days of enactment 
     of this Act, the Department shall report to the Committees on 
     Appropriations of both Houses of Congress as to whether the 
     New Orleans Medical Center should be designated as a Level I

       The conference agreement appropriates $44,600,000 for 
     Salaries and Expenses, instead of $43,470,000 as proposed by 
     the House and $45,600,000 as proposed by the Senate.
       The conferees agree that the increase above the budget 
     request shall be used for capital improvements and

     correct maintenance and infrastructure deficiencies at all 
     cemeteries and memorials for which the Commission is 
     responsible.
       In fiscal year 2006, the Commission contracted for a study 
     on ground erosion surrounding the World War II Pointe du Hoc 
     Ranger Monument in France. The conferees direct the 
     Commission to submit a report to the Committees on 
     Appropriations of both Houses of Congress outlining the

     and $1,120,000 as proposed by the Senate.
       The conferees have agreed to provide additional resources

     the Court with sufficient resources to hire two additional 
     magistrate judges, three staff attorneys and clerical staff.

     the Green House approach can be incorporated into the new

     fully restoring services and providing pre-Katrina number of 
     resident spaces. The conferees direct the AFRH to submit a 
     report to the Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of 
     Congress no later than March 1, 2008, detailing the planned

     sources for the Trust Fund to determine the long-term 
     viability of the Trust Fund and the potential need for a 
     recurring General Fund Payment to the Trust Fund.

                        Administrative Provision

       The conference agreement does not include an administrative

     committees that are to receive all reports and notifications.
       The conference agreement includes section 408 as proposed 
     by the House directing the Congressional Budget Office to 
     submit a report that projects the annual appropriations 
     necessary for the Department of Veterans Affairs to continue 
     providing health care to veterans. The Senate bill contained 
     no similar provision.
       The conference agreement includes section 409 as proposed 
     by both the House and the Senate prohibiting the use of funds 
     in the Act for any action that is related to or promotes the 
     expansion of the boundaries or size of the Pinon Canyon 
     Maneuver Site, Colorado.

       The conference agreement includes section 410 as proposed 
     by the Senate allowing the City of Aurora, Colorado to convey 
     land to the United States to be used by the Department of 
     Veterans Affairs for construction of a veterans' medical 
     facility. The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The conference agreement does not include a provision as 
     proposed by the House (section 409) which would have 
     prohibited the use of funds in this Act to purchase light 
     bulbs unless they have the ``ENERGY STAR'' designation. The 
     Senate bill contained no similar provision.
       The conference agreement does not include a provision as 
     proposed by the Senate (section 408) which would have 
     required the Government Accountability Office to assess 
     mental health care services for female servicemembers and 
     veterans. This issue is addressed elsewhere in this statement 
     of the managers. The House bill contained no similar 
     provision.
       The conference agreement does not include a provision, as 
     proposed by the Senate (section 409) which would have 
     prohibited the use of funds in the Act to enter into a 
     contract or award a grant in an amount greater than 
     $5,000,000 unless the contractor or grantee certifies in 
     writing that certain Federal requirements have been met. The 
     House bill contained no similar provision.
       The conference agreement does not include a provision as 
     proposed by the Senate (section 411) which would have 
     appropriated $100,000,000, designated as an emergency 
     requirement, for security and related costs associated with 
     the Democratic National Convention and the Republican 
     National Convention. The House bill contained no similar 
     provision.

  compliance with rule xxi, cl. 9 (house) and with rule xliv (senate)

       The following list is submitted in compliance with clause 9 
     of rule XXI of the Rules of the House of Representatives and 
     rule XLIV of the Standing Rules of the Senate, which require 
     publication of a list of congressionally directed spending 
     items (Senate), congressional earmarks (House), limited tax 
     benefits, and limited tariff benefits included in the 
     conference report, or in the joint statement of the managers 
     accompanying the conference report, including the name of 
     each Senator, House Member, Delegate, or Resident 
     Commissioner who submitted a request to the Committee of 
     jurisdiction for each item so identified. Congressionally 
     directed spending items (as defined in the Senate rule) and 
     congressional earmarks (as defined in the House rule) in this 
     division of the conference report or joint statement of the 
     managers are listed below. Neither the conference report nor 
     the statement of the managers contains any limited tax 
     benefits or limited tariff benefits as defined in the 
     applicable House and Senate rules.
       The following list is also submitted in compliance with 
     House Resolution 491, which requires a listing of 
     congressional earmarks in the conference report or joint 
     statement of the managers that were not committed to the 
     committee of conference by either House, not in a report on a 
     bill committed to conference, and not in a Senate committee 
     report on a companion measure. All items on the following 
     list technically meet that definition, because this division 
     deals with legislation that was not committed to this 
     committee of conference. Items on the following list have 
     been marked with an asterisk if they were not in either the 
     House or Senate version of the fiscal year 2008 Military 
     Construction and Veterans Affairs and Related Agencies 
     Appropriations bill or the accompanying Committee reports.
