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:

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

------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
[[Page H12511]]
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
similar provision.
TITLE II--DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Health Resources and Services Administration
Health Resources and Services
The conference agreement includes $7,260,468,000 for health
resources and services, of which $7,235,468,000 is provided
as budget authority and $25,000,000 is made available from
the Public Health Service policy evaluation set-aside,
instead of
[[Page H12514]]
$7,086,709,000 as proposed by the House and $6,888,810,000 as
proposed by the Senate. Funds for the individual HRSA
programs 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
$317,684,000 for construction and renovation (including
equipment) of health care and other facilities and other
health-related activities. The Senate included bill language
providing $191,235,000 for this purpose; the House bill did
not include funding for projects in bill language. These
funds are to be used for the following projects in the
following amounts:

child health block grant to be for special projects of
regional and national significance (SPRANS). The Senate bill

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
the House and $1,762,083,000 as proposed by the Senate. In
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.
Immunization and respiratory diseases
Within the total for Infectious Diseases, the conference
agreement includes a program level total of $612,654,000 for
immunization and respiratory diseases instead of $636,159,000
as proposed by the House and $527,650,000 as proposed by the
Senate.
Within the total for immunization and respiratory diseases,
$493,682,000 is for the immunization program authorized by
section 317 of the PHS Act, instead of $516,273,000 as
proposed by the House and $457,523,000 as proposed by the
Senate. In addition, $2,761,957,000 is included in the
Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Grants to States
for Medicaid account for the mandatory Vaccines for Children
(VFC) program for vaccine purchases and distribution support
for fiscal year 2008.
Within the total for immunization and respiratory diseases,
$81,700,000 is for program operations, instead of $82,575,000
as proposed by the House and $62,816,000 as proposed by the
Senate. Within this amount, the conference agreement includes
$19,733,000 to provide funds to States to increase demand for
influenza vaccine instead of $19,800,000 as proposed by the
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
$37,311,000 as proposed by the House and $7,311,000 as
proposed by the Senate. Within this amount, the conference
agreement includes $19,733,000 to develop a repository of
pandemic virus reference strains instead of $19,800,000 as
proposed by the House and $20,000,000 as proposed by the
Senate and $14,849,000 to increase the stock of diagnostic
reagents for influenza instead of $14,850,000 as proposed by
the House and $15,000,000 as proposed by the Senate.
HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention
Within the total for Infectious Diseases, the conference
agreement includes $1,024,070,000 for HIV/AIDS, Viral
Hepatitis, STD, and TB prevention, instead of $1,042,303,000
as proposed by the House and $1,020,191,000 as proposed by
the Senate.
Within the total for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB
prevention, the conference agreement includes $704,161,000
for domestic HIV/AIDS activities, instead of $715,463,000 as
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
prevention, the conference agreement includes $146,518,000
for the tuberculosis program, instead of $150,688,000 as
proposed by the House and $146,989,000 as proposed by the
Senate.
Zoonotic, Vector-borne, and Enteric Diseases
Within the total for Infectious Diseases, the conference
agreement includes $69,188,000 for zoonotic, vector-borne,
and enteric diseases, instead of $70,342,000 as proposed by
the House and $70,070,000 as proposed by the Senate.
Preparedness, Detection, and Control of Infectious Diseases
Within the total for Infectious Diseases, the conference
agreement includes $155,483,000 for preparedness, detection,
and control of infectious diseases, instead of $164,498,000
as proposed by the House and $156,966,000 as proposed by the
Senate.
Within the total for preparedness, detection, and control
of infectious diseases, the conference agreement includes
$17,220,000 for programs to address antimicrobial resistance,
instead of $19,228,000 as proposed by the House and
$17,480,000 as proposed by the Senate.
Within the total for preparedness, detection, and control
of infectious diseases, the conference agreement includes
$135,490,000 for programs to address all other emerging
infectious diseases, instead of $142,455,000 as proposed by
the House and $136,671,000 as proposed by the Senate. The
conference agreement provides sufficient resources to
continue the Prevention Epicenter Program and to support the
special pathogens lab as proposed by the Senate. The House
did not propose similar language.
Health Promotion
The conference agreement includes $992,214,000 for Health
Promotion, instead of $1,002,212,000 as proposed by the House
and $982,876,000 as proposed by the Senate.
Chronic Disease Prevention, Health Promotion, and Genomics
Within the total for Health Promotion, the conference
agreement includes $861,123,000 for chronic disease
prevention, health promotion, and genomics instead of
$869,479,000 as proposed by the House and $854,180,000 as
proposed by the Senate.
Within the total for chronic disease prevention, health
promotion, and genomics, the conference agreement includes
$50,993,000 for heart disease and stroke, instead of
$48,744,000 as proposed by the House and $51,744,000 as
proposed by the Senate. Within this amount, the conferees
have provided $1,500,000 to continue and expand activities in
the Mississippi Delta related to the burden of chronic
diseases instead of $2,000,000 as proposed by the Senate. The
House did not propose funding for this program. The
additional funds will enable an expansion of
[[Page H12524]]
these activities throughout the Mississippi Delta region.
Within the total for chronic disease prevention, health
promotion, and genomics, the conference agreement includes
$65,975,000 for diabetes programs, instead of $69,157,000 as
proposed by the House and $64,870,000 as proposed by the
Senate.
Within the total for chronic disease prevention, health
promotion, and genomics, the conference agreement includes
$323,051,000 for cancer prevention and control, instead of
$326,100,000 as proposed by the House and $325,949,000 as
proposed by the Senate.
Within the amount provided for cancer prevention and
control, the conference agreement includes the following
amounts:
$207,551,000 to expand breast and cervical cancer
activities, instead of $210,000,000 as proposed by the House
and $211,604,000 as proposed by the Senate;
$21,197,000 for comprehensive cancer, instead of
$16,867,000 as proposed by the House and $26,017,000 as
proposed by the Senate;
$6,750,000 to carry out activities authorized by Johanna's
Law, instead of $9,000,000 as proposed by the House--the
Senate did not propose funding for this activity;
$5,500,000 for activities related to ovarian cancer,
instead of $6,505,000 as proposed by the House and $4,500,000
as proposed by the Senate; and,
$843,000 for activities related to cancer survivorship,
instead of $881,000 as proposed by the House and $981,000 as
proposed by the Senate.
Within the total for chronic disease prevention, health
promotion, and genomics, the conference agreement includes
$24,543,000 for arthritis and other chronic diseases, instead
of $22,797,000 as proposed by the House and $23,033,000 as
proposed by the Senate. Within this amount, $8,107,000 is
available for epilepsy activities instead of $8,402,000 as
proposed by the House and $8,138,000 as proposed by the
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.
Within the total for chronic disease prevention, health
promotion, and genomics, the conference agreement includes
$104,016,000 to expand tobacco-related activities, instead of
$104,347,000 as proposed by the House and $106,347,000 as
proposed by the Senate. The conferees concur with Senate
report language intending that the increase for the Office of
Smoking and Health be used to support a stepped up effort by
the Environmental Health Laboratory to analyze tobacco
products and cigarette smoke. The House report did not
include similar language.
Within the total for chronic disease prevention, health
promotion, and genomics, the conference agreement includes

contain a similar provision.
The agreement provides the Administration request for

abrupt changes in program funding policies implemented in

$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

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.

for activities that are related to Fund activities. The
Senate bill did not have similar language.

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, 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

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;

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

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

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

agreed to by the conferees.

includes $30,000,000 for the comparative effectiveness health
care research program as proposed by both the House and

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

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

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

Office of Minority Health instead of $49,284,000 as proposed
by the House and $49,475,000 as proposed by the Senate. The
conferees include additional resources over the request to
expand the number of participating institutions in the New

and to conduct the national comparative study of the
incidence of certain health conditions and diseases among

Office of Women's Health (OWH) instead of $28,800,000
proposed by the House and $30,369,000 as proposed by the
Senate. The conferees have provided sufficient funds for OWH
to work with the advocacy community to develop and implement
a sustained lupus awareness and education campaign aimed at
reaching health care professionals and the general public
with an emphasis on reaching women at greatest risk for
developing lupus. The agreement also includes $1,000,000 for
the Institute of Medicine to conduct a comprehensive review
of the status of women's health research, summarize what has
been learned about how diseases specifically affect women,
and report to the Congress on suggestions for the direction
of future research.
With regard to Minority HIV/AIDS, the conferees expect that
activities that are targeted to address the growing HIV/AIDS
epidemic and its disproportionate impact upon communities of
color, including African Americans, Latinos, Native
Americans, Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific
Islanders, will be supported at no less than last year's
funding level.
The conference agreement includes $4,000,000 for the Embryo
Adoption Awareness Campaign as proposed by the Senate instead
of $1,980,000 as proposed by the House. The agreement
includes bill language as proposed by the Senate permitting
these funds to be used to provide, to individuals adopting
embryos, through grants or other mechanisms, medical and
administrative services deemed necessary for such adoptions
consistent with 42 CFR 59.5(a)(4).
The conference agreement includes bill language proposed by
the Senate to direct that specific information requests from
the chairmen and ranking members of the Subcommittees on
Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education, and Related
Agencies, on scientific research or any other matter, be
transmitted to the Committees on Appropriations in a prompt,
professional manner and within the time frame specified in

provision.

provided a combined total of $61,302,000 for this activity;

Senate.
PUBLIC HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICES EMERGENCY FUND
(including transfer of funds)
The conference agreement includes $1,505,509,000 for the

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

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.
[[Page H12536]]
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

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.

provision proposed by the Senate allowing the Division of

provision proposed by the Senate allowing the Secretary of

provision.

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.

House bill contained no similar provision.

provision proposed by the Senate providing funding for

provision proposed by the Senate that would provide funding

provision proposed by the Senate that would provide funding
for allied health training programs, financed by an
administrative cut. Funding for allied health is addressed in
the HRSA portion of the bill. The House contained no similar
provision.

The conference agreement does not include a general
provision proposed by the Senate that would express the sense
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.

no similar provision.

provision proposed by the Senate that prohibits funds
appropriated in this Act from being used to prevent an

drugs from importing a prescription drug from Canada that

a controlled substance or a biological product. The House
contained no similar provision.

fiscal year 2009 funding for this account.

in bill language for 5-year grants to local educational
agencies to work in partnership with one or more institutions
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
make grants to school districts that are replacing current
traditional language programs with critical needs language
instruction.
The conference agreement includes $416,000,000 for State
Assessments as proposed by the Senate instead of $411,630,000
as proposed by the House. Within the amount provided, the
conferees recommend $16,000,000 for enhanced assessment
instruments to improve the implementation of the No Child

and modernization of any elementary school, secondary school,

Hawaii that serves a predominantly Native Hawaiian student
body as proposed by the Senate. The conference agreement also

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

[[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
Democracy Act as proposed by the House instead of $30,000,000
as proposed by the Senate. The conference agreement includes

$3,025,000 to continue the comprehensive program to improve
public knowledge, understanding, and support of American
democratic institutions, which is a cooperative project among

The conference agreement also includes $12,072,000 for the
Cooperative Education Exchange program.

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.

UP program instead of $323,423,000 as proposed by the House

intend that $4,950,000 of the increase over fiscal year 2007

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,

authorized in Public Law 110-69, the America COMPETES Act.

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

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

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.

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

and a list of the President's earmarks by BRAC closure
package is provided in House report 110-186.

construction because of the complicated and inter-related
nature of the BRAC construction program. The conferees

directed earmarks in the BRAC 2005 account.

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).

The conference agreement appropriates $41,236,322,000 for
Compensation and Pensions as proposed by both the House and

Account as proposed by both the House and the Senate. The

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.

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
The conference agreement appropriates $1,069,100,000 for
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
for allocation to previously appropriated major construction
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
October 1 and April 1 of each year, on the current status of
the reconstruction of the Department of Veterans Affairs
Medical Center in New Orleans, Louisiana. Each report shall
include the status of any ongoing environmental assessments,
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

Congress which specifies how the Department intends to
execute the funding provided by this agreement.
grants for construction of state extended care facilities

proposed by the Senate.

Senate. The amount provided includes $1,210,000 for the pro
bono program, instead of $1,300,000 as proposed by the House
and $1,120,000 as proposed by the Senate.
The conferees have agreed to provide additional resources
for the Court in recognition of the probability that the
Court's workload will increase as the Department of Veterans
Affairs experiences a significant increase in disability
claims being processed. The increase in funding will provide
the Court with sufficient resources to hire two additional
magistrate judges, three staff attorneys and clerical staff.
Department of Defense--Civil Cemeterial Expenses, Army
salaries and expenses
The conference agreement appropriates $31,230,000 for
Salaries and Expenses, instead of $30,592,000 as proposed by
the House and $31,865,000 as proposed by the Senate. The
conference agreement includes a provision as proposed by the
Senate which will allow funds to be provided to Arlington
County, Virginia for expenses related to the relocation of
the federally owned water main at Arlington National
Cemetery. The House bill contained no similar provision.
The conferees agree that the increase of $4,338,000 above
the budget request shall be used for the realignment of
government-issued headstones, the construction of a heavy
equipment storage facility, and costs not included in the
budget request associated with the relocation of utilities at
Arlington National Cemetery.
Armed Forces Retirement Home
trust funds
The conference agreement appropriates $55,724,000 for the
Armed Forces Retirement Home (AFRH) as proposed by both the
House and the Senate.
The conferees maintain an interest in how the principles of
the Green House approach can be incorporated into the new
AFRH Gulfport campus while meeting construction milestones,
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
on-site services and how the agency could implement the
principles of the Green House approach on the Gulfport
campus.
general fund payment
The conference agreement appropriates $800,000 as a General
Fund Payment to the Armed Forces Retirement Home as proposed
by the House, instead of $5,900,000 as proposed by the
Senate. The funding is to be used for a study of funding
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
provision as proposed by the Senate (Sec. 301) which would
have prohibited the American Battle Monuments Commission from
making a payment to the Capital Security Cost Sharing
program.
TITLE IV--GENERAL PROVISIONS
The conference agreement includes section 401 as proposed
by both the House and the Senate prohibiting the obligation
of funds in the Act beyond the current fiscal year unless
expressly so provided.
The conference agreement includes section 402 as proposed
by both the House and the Senate requiring pay raises to be
absorbed within the levels appropriated in the Act.
The conference agreement includes section 403 as proposed
by both the House and the Senate prohibiting the use of the
funds in this Act for programs, projects or activities not in
compliance with Federal law relating to risk assessment, the
protection of private property rights, or unfunded mandates.
The conference agreement includes section 404 as proposed
by both the House and the Senate prohibiting the use of funds
in the Act to support or defeat legislation pending before
Congress.
The conference agreement includes section 405 as proposed
by the Senate encouraging all Departments to expand their use
of ``E-Commerce''. The House bill contained a similar
provision, but was more directive.
The conference agreement includes section 406 as proposed
by both the House and the Senate prohibiting the transfer of
funds to any instrumentality of the United States Government
without authority from an appropriations Act.
The conference agreement includes section 407 as proposed
by both the House and the Senate specifying the congressional
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.
[[Page H12674]]
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.
