     paid from appropriations available for the Asia-Pacific

     invoice or contract payment is associated.
       Sec. 8089. None of the funds appropriated in title IV of 
     this Act may be used to procure end-items for delivery to 
     military forces for operational training, operational use or 
     inventory requirements: Provided, That this restriction does 
     not apply to end-items used in development, prototyping, and 
     test activities preceding and leading to acceptance for 
     operational use: Provided further, That this restriction does

                                TITLE IX

         WAIVER OF CERTAIN SANCTIONS AGAINST INDIA AND PAKISTAN

       (a) Waiver Authority.--Except as provided in subsections 
     (b) and (c) of this section, the President may waive, with 
     respect to India and Pakistan, the application of any 
     sanction contained in section 101 or 102 of the Arms Export 
     Control Act (22 U.S.C. 2799aa or 22 U.S.C. 2799aa-1), section 
     2(b)(4) of the Export Import Bank Act of 1945 (12 U.S.C. 
     635(b)(4)), or section 620E(e) of the Foreign Assistance Act 
     of 1961, as amended, (22 U.S.C. 2375(e)).
       (b) Exception.--The authority to waive the application of a 
     sanction or prohibition (or portion thereof) under subsection 
     (a) shall not apply with respect to a sanction or prohibition 
     contained in subparagraph (B), (C), or (G) of section 
     102(b)(2) of the Arms Export Control Act, unless the 
     President determines, and so certifies to Congress, that the 
     application of the restriction would not be in the national 
     security interests of the United States.
       (c) Termination of Waiver.--The President may not exercise 
     the authority of subsection (a), and any waiver previously 
     issued under subsection (a) shall cease to apply, with 
     respect to India or Pakistan, if that country detonates a 
     nuclear explosive device after the date of enactment of this 
     act or otherwise takes such action which would cause the 
     President to report pursuant to section 102(b)(1) of the Arms 
     Export Control Act.
       (d) Targeted Sanctions.--
       (1) Sense of the congress.--
       (A) It is the sense of the Congress that the broad 
     application of export controls to nearly 300 Indian and 
     Pakistani entities is inconsistent with the specific national 
     security interests of the United States and that this control 
     list requires refinement; and
       (B) export controls should be applied only to those Indian 
     and Pakistani entities that make direct and material 
     contributions to weapons of mass destruction and missile 
     programs and only to those items that can contribute to such 
     programs.
       (2) Reporting requirement.--Not later than 60 days after 
     the date of enactment of this Act, the President shall submit 
     both a classified and unclassified report to the appropriate 
     congressional committees listing those Indian and Pakistani 
     entities whose activities contribute to missile programs or 
     weapons of mass destruction programs.
       (e) Congressional Notification.--The issuance of a license 
     for export of a defense article, defense service, or 
     technology under the authority of this section shall be 
     subject to the same requirements as are applicable to the 
     export of items described in section 36(c) of the Arms Export 
     Control Act (22 U.S.C. 2776(c)), including the transmittal of 
     information and the application of congressional review 
     procedures.
       (f) Repeal.--The India-Pakistan Relief Act (title IX of the 
     Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, 
     and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 1999, as contained 
     in section 101(a) of Public Law 105-277) is repealed 
     effective October 21, 1999.
       This Act may be cited as the ``Department of Defense 
     Appropriations Act, 2000''.

                   And the Senate agree to the same.

                      JOINT EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

       The managers on the part of the House and the Senate at the 
     conference on the disagreeing votes of the two Houses on the

[[Page 24675]]

     amendment of the Senate to the bill (H.R. 2561), making 
     appropriations for the Department of Defense for the fiscal 
     year ending September 30, 2000, and for other purposes, 
     submit the following joint statement to the House and the 
     Senate in explanation of the effect of the action agreed upon 
     by the managers and recommended in the accompanying 
     conference report.
       The conference agreement on the Department of Defense 
     Appropriations Act, 2000, incorporates some of the provisions 
     of both the House and Senate versions of the bill. The 
     language and allocations set forth in House Report 106-244 
     and Senate Report 106-53 should be complied with unless 
     specifically addressed in the accompanying bill and statement 
     of the managers to the contrary.
       Senate Amendment: The Senate deleted the entire House bill 
     after the enacting clause and inserted the Senate bill. The 
     conference agreement includes a revised bill.

     Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 (Public Law

     101-508), the term program, project, and activity for

     activity'' is defined as the appropriations accounts 
     contained in the Department of Defense Appropriations Act. At 
     the time the President submits his budget for fiscal year 
     2001, the conferees direct the Department of Defense to 
     transmit to the congressional defense committees budget 
     justification documents to be known as the ``M-1'' and ``O-
     1'' which shall identify, at the budget activity, activity

                   pay increase and retirement reform

       The conferees recommend an increase of $165,000,000 to the 
     Active, Reserve, and Guard Military Personnel accounts to 
     provide for a 4.8 percent military pay raise, effective 
     January 1, 2000. This is an increase of 0.4 percent over the 
     budget request of 4.4 percent. In addition, the National 
     Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2000 revised the 
     budget's legislative proposal to repeal the Redux retirement 
     system which results in savings to the personnel accounts. 
     Accordingly, the conferees recommend a total reduction of 
     $136,000,000 to the Active, Reserve, and Guard Military 
     Personnel accounts for modifications to the 1986 Military 
     Retirement Reform Act.


                    personnel underexecution savings

       The conferees recommend a total reduction of $219,000,000 
     to the Active Military Personnel accounts due to lower than 
     budgeted fiscal year 1999 end strengths, and differences in 
     the actual grade mix of officers and enlisted recommended in 
     the budget request. The General Accounting Office estimates 
     that the active components will have approximately 9,700 
     fewer personnel on board to begin fiscal year 2000, and as a 
     result, the fiscal year 2000 pay and allowances requirements 
     for personnel are incorrect and the budgets overstated.


                        force structure changes

       The conferees recommend a total of $103,600,000 in the 
     Military Personnel and Operation and Maintenance accounts for 
     force structure that was not included in the budget request, 
     as follows:

                        dfas salary misalignment

       At the request of the Air Force, the conferees recommend 
     realigning $39,200,000 from ``Military Personnel, Air Force'' 
     to ``National Guard Personnel, Air Force'' due to a Defense 
     Finance and Accounting Service error involving Air Force 
     personnel salaries.


                   basic allowance for housing reform

       The conferees recommend an increase of $100,000,000 across 
     the Active Military Personnel accounts for Basic Allowance 
     for Housing (BAH) reform. The additional funds will allow the 
     Department to complete the transition phase of BAH reform, as 
     directed by the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
     Year 2000.


                      army contingency operations

       The conferees recommend a reduction of $80,000,000 to 
     ``Military Personnel, Army'' to reflect the reduced U.S. 
     troop levels in Bosnia, and the associated military personnel 
     pay and allowance costs requested in the fiscal year 2000 
     budget request.


                        recruiting and retention

       The conferees recommend an additional $399,200,000 in the 
     Military Personnel and Operation and Maintenance accounts to 
     support the Department's recruiting, advertising, and 
     retention programs. The conferees are aware that some of the 
     Services are experiencing difficulty in meeting accession 
     goals and that first and second term retention rates, along 
     with pilot retention rates, are of major concern. Therefore, 
     the conferees recommend additional funds to improve the 
     Services' recruiting and retention efforts in the following 
     programs:
  
                       [In thousands of dollars]

                         arms control programs

       The conferees have agreed to reduce funding for certain 
     arms control activities in the Army and the Air Force. If 
     additional funds prove necessary to meet emergent 
     requirements stemming from valid treaty obligations, the 
     conferees expect the Department of Defense to submit a 
     reprogramming request subject to normal, prior approval 
     reprogramming procedures.


                          combating terrorism

       Within the operation and maintenance appropriations, the 
     conferees have provided significant resources for the 
     antiterrorism activities of the Department. No later than 
     June 30, 2000, the Secretary of Defense shall submit to the 
     congressional defense committees a report which describes the 
     use of all funds appropriated for combating terrorism 
     activities.


                        homestead air force base

       It has been more than seven years since the devastation of 
     Homestead Air Force Base by Hurricane Andrew. The region was 
     further impacted by the subsequent decision of the Base 
     Realignment and Closure Commission to close and realign the 
     installation in 1993. This, coupled with the delay in 
     economic redevelopment, has created a devastating economic 
     impact throughout the local area. This region is also 
     experiencing extremely high unemployment rates far above the 
     national average. The conferees recognize these adverse 
     economic conditions and urge the Air Force to expeditiously 
     complete requisite environmental studies prior to conveying 
     certain real property parcels on the installation to 
     facilitate interim use activities that will benefit the local 
     economy.


                     dod worker safety enhancement

       The conferees are frustrated by the Department's poor 
     record on safety and worker incident rates relative to 
     private industry and other federal agencies. Accordingly, the 
     conferees direct the Department to initiate programs funded 
     from within existing Operation and Maintenance accounts at 
     designated DOD facilities that employ alternative, private 
     sector proven, models of safety to determine the best way to 
     improve the Department's record with respect to injury 
     incidence rates and associated costs.


                         railroad safety study

       The conferees direct the Corps of Engineers to study the 
     feasibility of realigning the railroad tracks between Fort 
     Wainwright and Eielson Air Force Base to improve the overall 
     safety and efficiency of the line. The report should be 
     provided to the Committees on Appropriations no later than 
     June 15, 2000.


                       small business advertising

       The conferees understand that there are many qualified 
     minority-owned businesses, women-owned businesses, and small 
     businesses that design and place advertising and advertising 
     campaigns, which can assist the Department in its recruiting 
     efforts using print, electronic, and the radio media. The 
     conferees believe these firms can provide valuable new 
     insights and expertise to service wide recruiting programs. 
     The conferees expect the Department to increase the use of 
     these qualified businesses in the initiation, design and 
     placement of its advertising in the print, radio and 
     electronic media.

                   radioactive iodine experimentation

       The conferees strongly support the Air Force in its efforts 
     to provide funding for the North Slope Borough for costs and 
     expenditures associated with health care, monitoring and 
     other issues arising from experimentation conducted in the 
     1950s. The conferees direct the Air Force to resolve this 
     matter as soon as possible.

                     defense acquisition university

       From within the funds provided for the Defense Acquisition 
     University, up to $5,000,000 may be spent on a pilot program 
     using state-of-the-art training technology that would train 
     the acquisition workforce in a simulated government 
     procurement environment.


                        civil/military programs

       The conferees recommend a total of $83,803,000 for the 
     Department's civil/military programs for fiscal year 2000 as 
     shown below. The conferees direct the Department to report to 
     the Committees on Appropriations on the status of the 
     obligation of these funds not later than March 15, 2000.

                         [Dollars in thousands]

National Guard Youth Challenge Program..........................$62,503
Innovative Readiness Training Program............................20,000
Starbase Program..................................................6,300
                                                             __________
                                                             
    Total........................................................88,803


                         improved cargo methods

       The conferees recommend $4,000,000, only to test, develop 
     and implement cost saving opportunities identified in ongoing 
     studies of private sector logistics technology, practices and 
     procedures to move military cargo more cheaply, with greater 
     speed and with greater reliability. To ensure diverse views 
     of the state of the art in third party logistics management 
     and other emerging techniques are brought to bear, the 
     conferees intend that these funds be used to provide the 
     Government access to a range of qualified organizations or 
     entities having detailed knowledge of commercial logistics 
     processes that may have value for the military.


                         child care facilities

       The conferees are concerned that service members in some 
     career fields with extended duty requirements are 
     experiencing problems with access to day care facilities. The 
     conferees direct the Department to report, no later than 
     April 1, 2000, on the day care access policies of the various 
     services, with particular attention to the problems generated 
     by extended duty requirements.
       In addition, the conferees direct the Department to review 
     how the Services could expand the use of the Family Child 
     Care subsidy program. The report should include options to 
     address the needs of families who require extended hours of 
     child care as a result of irregular duty hours or temporary 
     duty deployments, and the costs associated with any such 
     policy changes.


                         unallocated reductions

       The House report included language in Operation and 
     Maintenance, Defense-wide, specifically exempting the Joint 
     Vision 2010 initiative and the Office of Net Assessment from 
     any unallocated reductions. The Senate had no such provision. 
     The House recedes to the Senate.


                     armed forces retirement homes

       The conferees provide $5,000,000 to be available for real 
     property maintenance and repair requirements at the Armed 
     Forces Retirement Homes.


                  pacific command regional initiative

       The conferees agree to provide $10,000,000 to be available 
     for the U.S. Pacific Command to enhance regional cooperation, 
     military training, readiness and exercises. The Commander in 
     Chief, U.S. Pacific Command, shall report to the House and 
     Senate Committees on Appropriations on plans and priorities 
     to utilize these funds to achieve key mission readiness and 
     warfighting priorities not later than December 1, 1999.


              study group on multilateral export controls

       The conferees direct that the Department convene a Study 
     Group of senior-level executive branch and congressional 
     officials, as well as outside experts, to develop the 
     framework for a new effective, COCOM-like agreement that 
     would regulate certain military useful goods and technologies 
     on a multilateral basis. The final product shall be a written 
     final report to be completed by January, 2001. The Department 
     shall make available up to $1,000,000 from within the funds 
     available in Operation and Maintenance, Defense-wide for this 
     purpose.

             overseas contingency operations transfer fund

       The conferees agree to provide $1,722,600,000 for the

     provides for continuing operations in Bosnia and Southwest 
     Asia and takes into account amounts which carry over due to 
     the early cessation of the air campaign in Kosovo.


          united states court of appeals for the armed forces

       The conference agreement provides $7,621,000 for the United 
     States Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces.

     Environmental Restoration, Formerly Used Defense Sites.

                       Environmental Contracting

       The conferees are concerned about the effect of the 
     Department's use of large indefi-

     nite delivery-indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contracts on small 
     businesses. Therefore, the conferees included a general 
     provision (Section 8130) which directs that not more than 35 
     percent of the funds obligated by the Department of Defense 
     for environmental remediation shall be executed through IDIQ 
     contracts with a total contract amount of $130,000,000. 
     Furthermore, the conferees direct that the Secretary of 
     Defense provide a report to the congressional defense 
     committees no later than January 15, 2000 on the Department's 
     use of IDIQ contracts during fiscal year 1999 and that this 
     information be provided quarterly throughout fiscal year 
     2000. The January 15th report should also include an analysis 
     comparing IDIQ contracts with other contract options in terms 
     of cost, involvement of small businesses, and the inclusion 
     of local companies.

                      Joliet Army Ammunition Plant

       The Department of the Army manufactured munitions and 
     explosives at the Joliet Ammunition Plant from the 1940s 
     until approximately 1976. Portions of the property became 
     heavily contaminated as a result of this use. The U.S. 
     Environmental Protection Agency listed a portion of the 
     arsenal on the National Priority List in 1987. In 
     consultation with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 
     and the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency, the Army 
     developed a Record of Decision (ROD) outlining the 
     remediation of the arsenal. The Army and the Joliet Arsenal 
     Development Authority continue to work closely to better 
     coordinate those issues concerning the Army's cleanup of the 
     Joliet Arsenal. The conferees strongly encourage the Army to 
     continue to fully support the cleanup and conversion projects 
     at this site and ensure the cleanup is completed in a timely 
     manner.

                       Iowa Army Ammunition Plant

       The Secretary of the Army shall conduct a review of past 
     nuclear weapons activities of the Iowa Army Ammunition Plant 
     in order to determine possible environmental contamination, 
     and possible exposure of former nuclear weapons workers and 
     the local community to such activities. This review shall be 
     conducted in coordination with the Department of Energy and 
     provided to the congressional defense committees not later 
     than June 15, 2000.

                   Massachusetts Military Reservation

       The conferees are aware that the Massachusetts Military 
     Reservation (MMR) located on Cape Cod, Massachusetts is 
     undergoing extensive environmental characterization and 
     remediation. The portion of MMR leased to the Army and 
     licensed back to Massachusetts for training and support of 
     the MA Army National Guard, known as Camp Edwards, is subject 
     to two administrative orders issued in 1997 by the U.S. 
     Environmental Protection Agency--Region 1 under the authority 
     of the Safe Drinking Water Act. Those orders specifically 
     require characterization activities at and near the

     training range/impact area at Camp Edwards to determine the 
     impact of military-related activities on the underlying 
     groundwater. In order to facilitate compliance with those 
     orders, the conferees include a general provision (Section 
     8154) that provides for the use of funds appropriated to 
     Operation and Maintenance, Army to pay for costs associated 
     with such characterization and any ensuing remediation.

                                El Toro

       The conferees are concerned about the status of the former 
     Marine Corps Air Station El Toro and encourage the Department 
     to take all necessary environmental remediation measures.

                                Newmark

       The conferees continue to have serious concern about the 
     Department's failure to respond at a senior level to 
     groundwater contamination at the Newmark and Muscoy Superfund 
     sites in California. The conferees understand that both the 
     Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the City of San 
     Bernardino believe that the contamination is a direct result 
     of industrial waste from Camp Ono, a World War II depot and 
     maintenance facility. The EPA has reported that there is ``no 
     other reasonable source for the contamination,'' than the 
     former Army base, and, more recently, that the Army is ``a 
     likely source of the contamination.''
       Report language in the conference reports accompanying the 
     fiscal year 1997 and 1998 Defense Appropriations Bills 
     highlighted the urgency of this program and requested 
     adequate funding and prompt action by the Department to 
     remediate this site. The conferees are disappointed with the 
     Department's response. The Department has effectively ignored 
     a September, 1998 court order to mediate the dispute. The 
     conferees are particularly concerned by the Department's lack 
     of a response to the conferees November, 1998 request for 
     senior-level medication involving the Department and the 
     Environmental Protection Agency. As a result, the conferees 
     strongly believe that the Department should, within 60 days 
     of enactment of this Act, initiate senior-level mediation in 
     this matter with the EPA, the City of San Bernardino, and the 
     State of California and report to the congressional defense 
     committees fully explaining the Department's plan to reach a 
     timely resolution to this matter.


             overseas humanitarian, disaster, and civic aid

       The conference agreement provides $55,800,000 for Overseas 
     Humanitarian, Disaster, and Civic Aid.


                  former soviet union threat reduction

       The conference agreement provides $460,450,000 for the 
     Former Soviet Union Threat Reduction program.

                          reprogramming policy

       The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense not to 
     implement any reprogramming actions (including notification 
     reprogrammings) submitted to the congressional defense 
     committees unless the Committees on Appropriations 
     communicate approval of the reprogrammings. This direction 
     applies to all defense accounts.


                       interim contractor support

       The conference agreement retains funding in Air Force 
     procurement accounts for Interim Contractor Support (ICS) for 
     Fiscal Year 2000. For the C-17, E-8, and B-2 programs, the 
     conferees provided ICS funding in separate procurement line-
     items to facilitate better oversight in Congress and in the 
     Department of Defense of the large levels of ICS in these 
     programs. These line-items are subject to the same 
     reprogramming procedures as other line-items in these 
     accounts. The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to 
     ensure procurement programs expeditiously transition these 
     efforts to operation and maintenance accounts. In particular, 
     the conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to transition 
     C-17 ICS (known as Flexible Sustainment) to the operations 
     and maintenance account in the fiscal year 2001 budget 
     submission. The conferees further direct that ICS be clearly 
     identified in procurement budget documentation.

                            patriot upgrade

       The conferees have provided $50,840,000 for the Patriot 
     missile upgrade program, an increase of $20,000,000 only for 
     a service life extension program. The conferees direct that 
     none of the additional funds may be obligated until the 
     Secretary of Defense provides an assessment of various 
     Patriot missile modification programs, including, but not 
     limited to, the Patriot Anti-Cruise Missile and the GEM 
     upgrade programs. The assessment is to include the capability 
     of each system against all potential target sets, to include 
     cruise missiles and the development and acquisition costs 
     associated with each modification program. Thirty days after 
     the Secretary's findings are submitted to the defense 
     committees, the funds may be used to upgrade/extend the life 
     of Patriot missiles in the Army inventory.


                                javelin

       The conferees agree to provide the authority for the Army 
     to enter into a Javelin multi-year contract. However, the 
     conferees direct that the Army may not enter into such a 
     contract until thirty days after the Secretary of Defense 
     certifies the quantities purchased are correct and that any 
     outstanding technical and manufacturing issues have been 
     resolved and tested.


                               starstreak

       The conferees urge the Department of the Army to reprogram 
     the funds necessary to complete a live fir, side-by-side 
     operational test and evaluation of the air-to-air Starstreak 
     and air-to-air Stinger missiles fired from the AH-64D Apache 
     helicopter.

               abrams tank upgrade multi-year procurement

       With some reluctance, the conferees have approved the 
     Army's request to renew multi-year procurement authority to 
     continue the M1A2 Abrams tank upgrade program subject to the 
     condition described below. The conferees seriously question 
     the Army's proposal to enter a new follow-on multi-year 
     agreement that would increase the average unit cost of a tank 
     upgrade (M1 to M1A2 SEP) from $5.6 million per tank in FY 
     1999 to $6.7 million per tank starting in FY 2001. The 
     conferees note that, in general, the trend throughout the 
     Department has been that follow-on multi-year agreements show 
     significant unit price decreases as production efficiencies 
     improve and mature. While much of the cost increase for this 
     program can be attributed to lower planned production rates, 
     the conferees remain puzzled why greater efforts have not 
     been made to lower unit costs, especially when the cost of 
     this upgrade now threatens to equal the cost of procuring a 
     new tank.
       The conferees agree that the Army shall not enter into a 
     new multi-year procurement agreement for the M1A2 SEP program 
     until it has conducted a detailed and thorough reexamination 
     of the costs of this program and has reevaluated the overall 
     program structure in light of the Army's ongoing reevaluation 
     of its overall modernization strategy and plan. The 
     conference agreement therefore restricts approval of the new 
     MYP agreement until 30 days after the Army has submitted a 
     report to Congress detailing the results of its M1A2 SEP cost 
     and program structure review. The conferees expect this 
     report to:
       Describe renewed efforts by the Army and by industry to 
     reduce production cost in all areas;
       Recommend ways to improve cost accounting practices to 
     shift overhead costs not directly attributable to production 
     of this tank upgrade to the proper accounts;
       Reexamine options (in concert with any new armored force 
     revisions made as part of the larger strategic review) to use 
     newer tank chassis' for the upgrade that might significantly 
     lower unit cost;
       Reexamine the planned rates of production for this program;
       Reassess the cost and benefits of installing an auxiliary 
     power unit as part of this upgrade;
       Review ways to further reduce the cost of the second 
     generation FLIR system; and provide a detailed description of 
     the terms and conditions of its proposed multi-year 
     procurement agreement.
       The conferees believe the Army should revisit its decision 
     to commit to inefficient rates of 80 tanks per year over 
     three years and only 43 tanks in year four and 24 tanks in 
     year five.
       With respect to revaluation of the APU, the conferees are 
     disturbed that more consideration and priority has not been 
     given to upgrades that would reduce the very high cost of 
     operation of this tank. The one proposed modification to 
     reduce cost was the on-board auxiliary power unit, which was 
     subsequently dropped from the package for ``affordability'' 
     reasons. Given the well known problems with the Abrams power 
     plant, the conferees would think that any modification that 
     would reduce the significant O&S costs for the equipment 
     would receive high priority. The conferees strongly urge the 
     Army to revise its plan to include this equipment.
       The conferees also direct the Secretary of the Army to 
     submit a report, no later than June 15, 2000, that outlines 
     the additional costs required to completely equip the ``first 
     to fight corps'' with top line equipment and the Army's 
     reasons for adopting a plan that deviates from this concept. 
     The conferees do not expect the time required to submit this 
     additional report to impact on the award of the multi-year 
     contract.

                   family of medium tactical vehicles

       The conferees support the Army's competition strategy and 
     their desire to engage in practices which seek to lower 
     acquisition costs and improve the quality of the Family of 
     Medium Tactical Vehicle truck. Additionally, the conferees 
     understand that the Army must use funds appropriated for the 
     FMTV program to establish and conduct any competition that 
     will determine the future producers of FMTV trucks. The 
     conferees direct that there be no delay in the competition 
     for follow-on FMTV contract awards.
       The conferees direct the Secretary of Army to develop an 
     acquisition strategy using competitive procedures for the 
     next FMTV production contract based on, but not limited to, a 
     validated FMTV technical data package which will serve as the 
     baseline for the FMTV configuration. Furthermore, the 
     conferees direct the Army to provide a report on the status 
     of the acquisition strategy no later than March 15, 2000.


                   global combat support system--army

       The conferees are concerned about the Department's tendency 
     to begin fielding an information technology system prior to 
     the system actually passing Milestone III. Therefore the 
     conferees direct the Army not to spend $11,900,000 of the 
     funds provided in Other Procurement, Army for the Global 
     Combat Support System--Army until after the system has 
     received Milestone III approval.


            pacific mobile emergency radio system (PACMERS)

       The conferees are concerned that the existing emergency 
     radio capability of the Pacific Command may have become an 
     inadequate stovepipe system, consisting mainly of analog 
     technology non-interoperable with the new and emergency 
     technologies used by other federal, State and local 
     governments. The maintenance and operation of existing 
     equipment is no longer feasible nor cost effective.
       The proposed follow-on system, the Pacific Mobile Emergency 
     Radio Systems (PACMERS), will allow total interoperability 
     with all military services, federal law enforcement, and 
     State and local agencies. PACMERS will provide the 
     capabilities to insure emergency communications for first-
     responders to weapons of mass destruction and counter-
     terrorism activities, consequence management, as well as 
     other situations derived by civil disobedience or natural 
     disaster. The capabilities of PACMERS will support 
     Presidential Directive 62 and 63.
       True cost savings will be realized by utilization of a 
     total turn-key, leased system, which will negate government 
     risk associated with the maintenance, technological 
     obsolescence, and capital investment of a procured system. 
     The anticipated cost-savings and economies of scale 
     associated with the anticipated enhancements of PACMERS are 
     of great interest to the conferees. In an expression of 
     support for the PACMERS system concept, the Department of 
     Defense is encouraged to accelerate installation, leading to 
     a full operational capability as soon as is feasible.

       The conferees agree to provide an additional $10,000,000 
     for AV-8B advance procurement and encourage the Department of 
     the Navy to budget for at least 16 additional remanufactured 
     AV-8B aircraft starting in fiscal year 2001, at the end of 
     the current multi-year contract. Additional aircraft are 
     needed by the Marine Corps to maintain its inventory level 
     until the Joint Strike Fighter is field.


          advanced tactical air reconnaissance system (atars)

       The conferees agree that no reduction should be applied to 
     the ATARS program. Additionally, the conferees agree that 50 
     percent of the fiscal year 2000 funding shall not be 
     obligated until the Operational Evaluation is complete.

                              joint stars

       The conferees agree with the Senate direction regarding the 
     initiation of a pilot program to re-engine the JSTARS fleet 
     with leased commercial engines. The conferees note that lease 
     authority applies only to JSTARS and not to KC-135 aircraft.


               on-board oxygen generating system (obogs)

       The House recedes to the Senate with modifications. The 
     conferees concur with the Senate report language directing 
     the Secretary of the Air Force to provide a report on 
     compliance with previous Congressional direction regarding 
     installation of OBOGS on various aircraft, including 
     implementation costs and potential cost savings. The Senate 
     report further directs that OBOGS purchases from qualified 
     vendors, including small business, be conducted on a 
     competitive basis. The conferees fully support the 
     competitive procurement of OBOGS for those aircraft models 
     for which OBOGS procurement action has not been initiated.


                          c-135 modifications

       The conferees have provided $104,000,000 for re-engining of 
     KC-135 tankers. The conferees are aware of multiple options 
     for re-engining KC-135 aircraft. A number of options exist, 
     including a new proposal to shift modified C-141 engines to 
     these aircraft.
       The conferees believe that the KC-135 re-engining program 
     should proceed under a comprehensive plan based on 
     requirements and cost, utilizing competition and commercial 
     practices to the maximum extent practicable. The conferees 
     direct the Department of Defense to analyze all options for 
     re-engining KC-135 aircraft. The conferees direct that the 
     plan assess the annual and total cost of all options and the 
     range of capability improvements offered by each option. The 
     conferees direct that this plan be provided to the 
     congressional defense committees no later than February 25, 
     2000, and prior to the obligation of the added funds.


                defense airborne reconnaissance program

       The conferees agree to provide $10,800,000 for the Theater 
     Airborne Warning System (TAWS) on the RC-135 Rivet Joint. The 
     conferees direct that no more than fifty (50) percent of 
     these funds may be obligated prior to the Secretary of the 
     Air Force providing a letter to the congressional defense 
     committees which certifies that the TAWS program is fully 
     funded in the fiscal year 2001-2006 budget submitted to 
     Congress and identifies all of the outyear funds budgeted for 
     the TAWS program.

       The U-2 is the premier tactical reconnaissance asset 
     requested by the CINCs around the world. This system of 
     aircraft, pilot, ground crew and equipment is tasked daily to 
     support military operations, monitor conflicts, and maintain 
     peace agreements. The recent NATO campaign in Kosovo, where 
     the U-2 provided 24-hour in-theater coverage, showcased the 
     capabilities of the system. The conferees understand that the 
     U-2 was considered by many to be the ``backbone'' of the 
     airborne Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) 
     mission in Kosovo.
       The conferees are concerned that the increased number of 
     missions, along with the limited number of U-2 aircraft and 
     the declining number of qualified pilots in the Air Force, 
     will adversely affect the ability of the U-2 to meet future 
     ISR requirements.
       Therefore, the conferees request the Secretary of Defense 
     submit a report to the defense subcommittees of the House and 
     Senate Committees on Appropriations, which addresses the 
     following:
      1. The performance and contributions of the U-2 aircraft in 
     Operation Allied Force;
      2. The status of qualified U-2 pilots and training needs for 
     new pilots;
      3. The number of U-2 aircraft required to maintain current 
     capabilities, train new pilots, and continue to fulfill the 
     Air Force's high altitude reconnaissance mission; and
      4. The Air Force's plan to sustain the U-2 weapon system, 
     with its multi-sensor payloads, and sensor-to-shooter 
     flexible targeting assets until such time as a replacement 
     with equal or greater capability can be operationally 
     fielded.
       This report is due to the Committees within 90 days of 
     enactment of this Act.
       The conferees agree to provide a total of $10,000,000 for 
     U-2 cockpit and defensive systems. The Air Force should 
     prioritize these upgrades and apply the $10,000,000 as 
     necessary to meet the most pressing requirements.

                     warfighter advanced technology

       The conferees support the development of environmentally 
     compatible products and services essential for the efficient 
     operation of the military and civilian sectors and recognize 
     the unique factors in tropical and subtropical regions that 
     provide the technological and resource base for these 
     products and services. The conferees agree to provide 
     $6,000,000, as recommended by the Senate, to pursue the 
     applied research, development, and demonstration of 
     biosystems-derived food, fiber, textile, biomedical, 
     industrial and environmentally compatible products and 
     services to meet military and civilian needs under the 
     cooperative management of the U.S. Army Natick Soldier Center 
     and the U.S. Department of Agriculture Sustainable Economic 
     Activity Program.


                                crusader

       The conferees support the Army's continued development of 
     the Crusader advanced field artillery system to address 
     support deficiencies. The conferees have reduced funding for 
     the Crusader program by $75,806,000 due to schedule delays. 
     The conferees do not view the decrement as a lack of support 
     for

[[Page 24792]]

     the Crusader program and strongly encourage the Army to 
     adequately fund the program in subsequent budget requests.
     Lightweight 155 Towed Howitzer Program
       The conferees are concerned that the Lightweight 155mm 
     Towed Howitzer program has been suffering from contractor and 
     program deficiencies, which has led to a two-year delay in 
     the program. The program has failed to fully utilize the 
     expertise of Army arsenals in the development and design of 
     the howitzer. Considering the long history of the arsenals in 
     advancing howitzer producibility techniques, it is important 
     that they be actively involved in the program, especially 
     during the crucial EMD/prototype phase to ensure that 
     efficient production techniques are designed at the earliest 
     possible stage of the program. In addition, the arsenals 
     constitute an important resource in providing spare parts and 
     special development items for howitzer forces in time of war 
     and national emergencies.
       The conferees direct the Army and the Marine Corps to 
     develop a plan to include Rock Island Arsenal in 
     producibility and manufacturing aspects of howitzer 
     production, including recoil mechanisms and carriages for the 
     Lightweight 155mm Towed Howitzer Program and other Army/
     Marine Corps future towed artillery programs. The conferees 
     expect the Army and the Marine Corps to issue a report to the 
     Senate and House Appropriations Subcommittees on Defense no 
     later than sixty days after the enactment of this Act 
     outlining the plan.


                     anti-armor weapons masterplan

       Last year, the conferees directed the Secretary of Defense 
     to provide an Anti-Armor Weapons Masterplan with the fiscal 
     year 2000 budget request. The plan, which was delivered five 
     months after the budget submission, did not address the 
     concerns outlined in the statement of the managers. The 
     conferees are disappointed in the plan because it showed no 
     evidence or future prospects of reducing the number of 
     programs being pursued, no evidence of authority or control 
     being exercised by OSD, and little evidence of rigorous 
     critique of claimed requirements. OSD was directed to submit 
     a report ``with the purpose of identifying and eliminating 
     excess capabilities.'' The report does not outline a strategy 
     for the future, but merely justifies the current anti-armor 
     weapons budget.
       Therefore the conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to 
     provide an analysis with the fiscal year 2001 budget request 
     that evaluates the joint effectiveness of the existing anti-
     armor weapons in addressing the threat depicted in the 
     defense planning guidance and how the planned anti-armor 
     weapons are expected to fill shortfalls in current capability 
     in the defense planning guidance scenarios. Based on this 
     analysis, the Secretary should prioritize the Department's 
     anti-armor weapon acquisition programs. The analysis is to be 
     submitted with the fiscal year 2001 budget request.

                    atlantic command experimentation

       The conferees agree to restrictions recommended by the 
     House concerning use of fiscal year 1999 and 2000 funds which 
     should be noted on the Base for Reprogramming (DD Form 1414) 
     for fiscal year 2000. The conferees recognize, however, that 
     the Atlantic Command will work in areas such as the Single 
     Integrated Air Picture, which facilitate improved attack of 
     critical mobile targets. Funds provided in this Act for 
     Atlantic Command Experimentation are only for an integrated 
     program which addresses the short, mid, and long terms and 
     may not be used on a program which fails to consider short 
     and near term war fighting improvements. The conferees do not 
     agree to House language requiring quarterly reports to the 
     defense congressional committees, but direct instead that the 
     Secretary of Defense provide semi-annual reports for the next 
     two years.


                          surface effects ship

       The conferees urge the Department of the Navy to procure a 
     110 foot surface effects ship if needed to fulfill a fast 
     patrol craft requirement.


                          maritime technology

       In the fiscal year 1999 DoD Appropriations Conference 
     Report, the conferees directed the Secretary of the Navy to 
     provide funds to the Maritime Administration to complete 
     testing of the potential interim solution to remediate 
     potential damage resulting from oil spills from existing tank 
     vessels. Based on additional information, the conferees have 
     determined that the Maritime Administration is not the 
     appropriate organization to execute this effort. Therefore, 
     the conferees direct the fiscal year 1999 RDT&E funds be 
     redirected to the office of Naval Reserve for program 
     execution.


      commercial operations and support savings initiative (COSSI)

       The conferees have provided $3,000,000 for MTTC/IPI in 
     COSSI. The conferees fully expect MTTC/IPI to abide by 
     program cost-sharing requirements in the future consistent 
     with OSD requirements. However, for the initial award, the 
     intent is for the requirement for cost sharing to be waived.


                   Software program managers network

       The conferees continue to support service programs and 
     related activities provided by the Software Program Managers 
     Network (SPMN). The conferees direct the Department to 
     continue this program at last year's level of effort and, in 
     addition, the conferees provide $1,000,000 to develop pilot 
     projects to attract, train and retain skilled software 
     personnel.

                               materials

       The conferees are aware of the potential for fuel cells to 
     reduce the logistics requirements for batteries and liquid 
     fuels, and improve operational effectiveness of various 
     systems. The conferees note that a full-scale demonstration 
     of an advanced solid polymer electrolyte fuel cell that uses 
     PBO based membranes holds great promise in increasing the 
     performance of and reducing the cost of fuel cells. The 
     conferees request that the Secretary of the Air Force provide 
     a report by February 1, 2000 reviewing PBO fuel cell 
     technology and evaluating its potential to meet the demanding 
     requirements of the `Air Expeditionary Force Deployment' 
     concept of operation.


            crew systems and personnel protection technology

       The conference agreement includes $12,000,000 only for 
     ejection seat risk reduction efforts. These funds shall be 
     divided equally between all viable competitors and are to be 
     used to bring each candidate seat to a common qualification 
     standard consistent with joint Air Force-Navy requirements. 
     This effort is to be designated as a Joint Ejection Seat 
     Program, with program management responsibilities to rotate 
     between the Air Force and Navy in accordance with a schedule 
     specified by the Secretary of Defense. The conferees direct 
     the Air Force and the Navy, in conjunction with their fiscal 
     year 2001 budget requests, to provide a program and 
     associated funding plans that will bring each candidate seat 
     to a common qualification standard in an expeditious manner. 
     The Air Force and the Navy should include sufficient funds 
     for each ejection seat, consistent with that plan, in their 
     budget requests. The conferees expect this program will lead 
     to development of fully qualified seats that can be competed 
     for installation into the Joint Strike Fighter and other 
     current and future aircraft.


                                milstar

       The conference agreement funds the MILSTAR program in the 
     Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation, Air Force 
     account as in past years. While the Air Force has indicated 
     that the sixth and last satellite will not be used for 
     Independent Operational Test and Evaluation and therefore 
     would have been more appropriately funded in procurement, the 
     conferees acknowledge that this satellite is now 60% 
     assembled. The conferees therefore believe that it is 
     impractical to transfer funding for this satellite to the 
     procurement account at this stage in the program.


                                  f-22

       The conferees have included $1,222,232,000, the budget 
     request amount, for the F-22 engineering and manufacturing 
     development program. In addition, the conferees have included 
     two general provisions providing funds for the F-22 program. 
     The first provision appropriates an additional $1,000,000,000 
     which is available for transfer for the purposes of F-22 
     program research, development, test and evaluation, and 
     advance procurement. This provision includes a prohibition on 
     the award of a full funding contract for low-rate initial 
     production for the F-22 aircraft program until the first 
     flight of an F-22 aircraft incorporation Block 3.0 software 
     has been conducted. The conferees agree that up to 
     $277,100,000 of the funds appropriated by this provision may 
     be transferred to the ``Aircraft Procurement, Air Force'', 
     account only for advance procurement of F-22 aircraft. The 
     conferees further agree that any funds transferred for F-22 
     advance procurement shall not be available for obligation 
     until the Secretary of Defense certifies to the congressional 
     defense committees that all 1999 Defense Acquisition Board 
     exit criteria have been met. The conferees direct the Air 
     Force to establish cost accounting procedures which allow the 
     accurate tracking of the cost of the additional test aircraft 
     apart from other F-22 development efforts. The conferees 
     further direct that costs associated with the additional test 
     aircraft be separately identified in future research and 
     development budget documents using the budget categories of 
     the F-22 ``P-5'' budget exhibit. A second provision 
     appropriates an additional $300,000,000 for F-22 program 
     termination liability or for other F-22 program contractual 
     requirements in lieu of termination liability obligations. 
     The conferees agree that the funds provided under this 
     provision are not available for expenditure until October 1, 
     2000.


               space based infrared system (sbirs)--high

       The conferees direct that no more than $100,000,000 of the 
     funds provided for SBIRS High shall be obligated until the 
     Secretary of Defense certifies that the production program 
     complies with all DoD full funding policies (including the 
     policy against funding more than 20% of the end-item cost 
     using advance procurement) and that the program concurrency 
     risk has been reduced relative to the acquisition strategy 
     proposed by the Joint Estimating Team. The conferees further 
     direct that concurrent with the Secretary of Defense 
     certification above, the Director of Operational Test and 
     Evaluation submit an assessment of whether the SBIRS high 
     acquisition strategy allows for adequate testing to support a 
     production decision.


            global positioning system spectrum harmonization

       The conferees continue to support the development of global 
     positioning system technologies as being vital to the 
     national security and economic interests of the United 
     States. It has come to the attention of the conferees that 
     increases in the aggregate noise that is generated into the 
     spectrum band restricted for the delivery of GPS by users of 
     spectrum in other frequency bands may pose a significant 
     threat to the delivery of GPS. The conferees once again 
     recognize the critical national security, public safety and 
     economic interests that are implicated by this threat to the 
     delivery of GPS, and therefore direct the DOD to initiate a 
     spectrum harmonization study to be conducted by the National 
     Telecommunications and Information Administration of the 
     United States Department of Commerce to be delivered to the 
     defense appropriations committees no later than January 31, 
     2000.


      theater air command and control simulation facility (taccsf)

       Of the amount appropriated for infrastructure upgrades at 
     TACCSF's new facility, $450,000 will be made available to 
     Sandia National Laboratories and Los Alamos National 
     Laboratories to initiate a process to leverage their 
     scientific, analytical, and computational capacities to 
     advance and expand the simulation and modeling activities at 
     TACCSF.


                         mariah ii wind tunnel

       In 1998, Congress combined the Air Force's and NASA's 
     Hypervelocity Wind Tunnel programs under the name of Mariah 
     II. This was done in recognition of the Air Force's 
     requirements for Air Defense as well as the reputation of 
     Arnold Engineering Development Center in the development and 
     use of wind tunnels. The conferees believe that a 
     hypervelocity ground test facility is critical for the 
     development of the next generation of space and re-entry 
     vehicles. The conferees are also concerned that the Air Force 
     has been hesitant to adequately fund this successful high 
     technology project. Any delays in this program would not only 
     defeat the research momentum of all of the partners, but it 
     would destroy the excellent teaming that has enabled the 
     success to date. The conferees encourage the Department of 
     the Air Force to support this necessary research and urge the 
     Department of Defense to budget funds for fiscal year 2001 
     and beyond.

                  global hawk unmanned aerial vehicle

       The conferees are very concerned that the Air Force is 
     planning to proceed with a revised Global Hawk program that 
     has not been formally presented to Congress for approval. 
     Additionally, it is unclear how this new program, if 
     approved, would be funded in the out-years. The conferees 
     understand that the total cost of the program could exceed 
     $800,000,000 and that the Air Force may divert funds budgeted 
     or appropriated for other Intelligence, Surveillance, and 
     Reconnaissance (ISR) assets, to fully fund the revised Global 
     Hawk program. The conferees agree that using other ISR assets 
     as a ``bank'' from which to draw funds for the Global Hawk 
     program would likely not serve the best interests of the 
     Department of Defense.
       Therefore, while the conferees have agreed to provide an 
     increase of $15,000,000 for Global Hawk, this should not be 
     perceived as an approval of the revised Global Hawk program. 
     The conferees agree that if the revised Global Hawk program 
     is what the Administration plans to pursue, the program 
     should be presented in a future budget request. Any shortfall 
     in funding in fiscal year 2000 may be accommodated by 
     approval of a reprogramming request.

                            seismic research

       Last year's nuclear tests in South Asia raises serious 
     concerns about the Department's ability to support a robust 
     operational nuclear test monitoring program. The conferees 
     direct that from within available funds, $10,000,000 shall be 
     available only for peer-reviewed basic and applied research 
     only to support operational nuclear test monitoring. Of this 
     amount, $2,450,000 shall be available only for peer-reviewed 
     seismic research; and $7,450,000 shall be available only for 
     peer-reviewed basic research--$6,450,000 of which is only for 
     explosion seismology research. The conferees direct that

[[Page 24815]]

     the basic and applied seismic research program consider the 
     specific prioritized research topics recommended to the 
     Department by the National Research Council.
       The conferees direct the Defense Threat Reduction Agency to 
     award these funds through a competitive peer panel review 
     process; to segregate the basic and applied research funds 
     for this program into clearly identifiable projects within 
     the 6.1 and 6.2 budget categories; and to improve integration 
     of the basic and applied components of the program. Further, 
     the conferees direct the Department to provide, by December 
     1, 1999, a detailed report to the Congressional Defense 
     Committees on the plan for obligating these funds. Finally, 
     the conferees direct the Department to sustain funding for 
     these activities in future budgets to ensure the expertise 
     needed in this critical operational program.


                national missile defense risk reduction

       To take full advantage of joint ballistic missile defense 
     efforts with allied nations, the conferees direct the 
     Director of the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization to 
     provide a report to the Appropriations Committees of the 
     House and Senate by February 1, 2000, on those technologies, 
     designs, or technical approaches developed by, or in 
     cooperation with, allied ballistic missile defense programs 
     that would help reduce the level of technical, schedule, or 
     cost risk to any element of the U.S. national missile defense 
     program.


                        advanced research center

       The conferees direct the Ballistic Missile Defense 
     Organization not to establish any new missile defense data 
     centers.
       Further, the conferees have provided an additional 
     $2,450,000 for the operational support of the Army's Advanced 
     Research Center (ARC) for a total level of funding of 
     $14,450,000. The conferees understand this level to be 
     sufficient to maintain modeling and simulation capability at 
     the facility in support of Theater and National Missile 
     Defense Programs while providing the necessary infrastructure 
     support for the facility. As such, users should not be 
     required to offset operational costs with program funding in 
     any form. Only peculiar and unique support should require 
     such contributions and under no condition should such fees be 
     assessed or required by higher commands. The conferees direct 
     BMDO to maintain and plan for adequate levels of operational 
     support for the ARC without reliance upon program user fees.


                      transportation technologies

       The House report recommended that the Center for Commercial 
     Deployment of Transportation Technologies be considered for 
     up to $15,000,000 of the funds provided in Operation and 
     Maintenance, Defense-wide. To be consistent with United 
     States Transportation Command's established funding mechanism 
     and management system the conferees believe that the Center 
     should be considered for up to $15,000,000 of the funds 
     provided in Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, 
     Defense-wide instead.

                             Discoverer II

       The conferees agree to provide a total of $40,000,000 for 
     the Discoverer II satellite technology demonstration program, 
     a reduction of $68,450,000 to the budget request. The 
     conferees agree that this funding shall be provided in equal 
     portions to the Air Force, and Defense Advanced Research 
     Project Agency (DARPA), and the National Reconnaissance 
     Office (NRO).
       The conferees direct that the funding provided in fiscal 
     year 2000 may only be used to complete the Phase I study 
     portion of the program, and any associated program management 
     costs.

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

                            medical research

       The conferees applaud the medical research and development 
     efforts and accomplishments of the Department of Defense, 
     and, within funding provided for the Defense Health Program, 
     $275,000,000 for medical RDT&E efforts to be conducted by the 
     Department. Within these funds, $175,000,000 is for the 
     Army's peer reviewed Breast Cancer Research Program (BCRP), 
     and $75,000,000 is for the Army's peer reviewed Prostate 
     Cancer Research Program (PCRP).
       The remaining funds of $25,000,000 are to be made available 
     for peer reviewed medical research grants and activities. The 
     conferees direct that the Secretary of Defense, in 
     conjunction with the service Surgeons General, establish a 
     process to select medical research projects of clear 
     scientific merit and direct relevance to military health.
       Such projects could include: acute lung injury research; 
     advanced soft tissue modeling; alcohol abuse prevention 
     research; Defense and Veterans Head Injury Program; Dengue 
     fever vaccine research; childhood asthma; diabetes; digital 
     mammography imagining; Gulf War Illnesses; Padget's disease; 
     retinal display technology; smoking cessation; stem cell 
     research; and volumetrically controlled manufacturing.
       The conferees direct the Department to provide a report by 
     March 1, 2000, on the status of this peer reviewed medical 
     research program, to include the corresponding funds provided 
     in fiscal year 1999.


                             custodial care

       The conference agreement includes a general provision 
     clarifying the definition of custodial care as it pertains to 
     the delivery of health care services provided by and financed 
     under the military health care system's case management 
     program. This provision also sets the overall policy for 
     access of military health care system beneficiaries in the 
     case management program. The House bill included a similar 
     provision. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. 
     The conferees expect the Department to expeditiously revise 
     its regulations to comply with this provisions.


              anthrax vaccine immunization program (avip)

       The Comptroller General shall study the immunization 
     program and report on the following: effects on military 
     morale, retention, and recruiting; the civilian costs and 
     burdens associated with adverse reactions for members of the 
     reserve components; adequacy of long- and short-term health 
     monitoring; assessment of the anthrax threat, including but 
     not limited to foreign doctrine, weaponization, quality of 
     intelligence, and other biological threats. A classified 
     annex may be submitted to meet this requirement.
       The Department is directed to enter into a contract with 
     the National Research Council to independently study the 
     effectiveness and safety of the anthrax vaccine. The 
     following issues shall be considered in the report: the types 
     and severity of adverse reactions, including gender 
     differences; long-term health implications; inhalational 
     efficacy of the vaccine against all known anthrax strains; 
     correlation of animal models to safety and effectiveness in 
     humans; validation of the manufacturing process focusing on, 
     but not limited to discrepancies identified by the Food and 
     Drug Administration in February 1998; definition of vaccine 
     components in terms of the protective antigen and other 
     bacterial products and constituents; identification of gaps 
     in existing research.
       Preliminary reports addressing these issues will be 
     submitted to the Committee on Appropriations and the 
     Committee on Armed Services of both the House and the Senate 
     by April 1, 2000.


                              oxford house

       The conferees direct the Department to conduct a pilot 
     project to improve treatment outcomes for alcoholism and drug 
     addiction. The pilot project should evaluate the 
     effectiveness and cost efficiency of Oxford House recovery 
     homes in improving recovery without relapse following 
     treatment for alcoholism and drug addiction among active and 
     retired military personnel and their dependents. The 
     conferees direct the Department to provide a report by March 
     1, 2000 on the status of this pilot project.


                  triservice nursing research program

       The conferees recommend $6,000,000 for the TriService 
     Nursing Research Program (TSNRP). Within these funds, the 
     conferees encourage the Department to leverage telehealth and 
     distance learning capabilities, and to continue efforts in 
     developing telemetered passive physiological monitoring for 
     field conditions. Further, the conferees encourage the 
     Department to begin funding the TSNRP in the Department's 
     annual budget.

                  Chemical Munitions Destruction, Army

       The conferees concur with the decision of the Department of 
     Defense to conduct evaluations of three additional 
     alternative technologies under the Assembled Chemical Weapons 
     Assessment (ACWA) Program. The conferees direct that 
     $40,000,000 of the funds made available for Chemical Agents 
     and Munitions Destruction, Army are only to conduct the 
     additional ACWA evaluations. The conferees direct that the 
     ACWA program is to proceed under the same guidelines as 
     contained in Public Law 104-208, and continue to use the 
     Dialogue process and Citizens Advisory Technical Teams and 
     their consultants.
       The conferees agree that the current budget execution rates 
     for the Chemical Agents and Munitions Destruction program are 
     unacceptable and hopes that the Army improves the budget 
     execution rates in fiscal year 2000. In the event that 
     program budget execution rates improve during the fiscal 
     year, and additional funds are required to sustain the 
     establishment and operation of the nine chemical 
     demilitarization facilities, the conferees expect the Army to 
     submit a reprogramming request subject to normal, prior 
     approval reprogramming procedures.
       The conferees disagree with the House direction with regard 
     to an Inspector General report on the Chemical Agents and 
     Munitions Destruction Program, Army. The conferees agree with 
     House language directing the General Accounting Office to 
     submit a report on the budget activities and management of 
     the program.

                        technologies assessment

       The conferees agree to provide $2,450,000 to assess 
     technologies to detect air, land and maritime platforms which 
     are evading currently operating detection and monitoring 
     systems either because of their technological deficiencies or 
     their locations. The conferees specifically direct that the 
     assessment consider the utility of an additional Relocatable 
     Over The Horizon Radar site, a Wide Aperture Radar Facility, 
     and a ground station to support a tropical remote sensing 
     radar. The conferees direct that the assessment be concluded 
     by April 1, 2000 and that its findings be included in a 
     report to the defense committees not later than May 15, 2000.


          counter-drug intelligence and infrastructure support

       The conferees agree to provide $30,000,000 for Counter-drug 
     Intelligence and Infrastructure Support in order to support 
     numerous initiatives including those outlined by the Senate 
     in the Drug Free Century Act and those identified in House 
     Report 105-244 to include Operation Caper Focus, P-3 FLIRs, 
     observation aircraft, mothership operations, A-10 aircraft, 
     and other joint military intelligence programs. The conferees 
     direct the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Drug 
     Enforcement Policy to provide a plan for utilization of these 
     funds to the defense committees within 60 days of the 
     enactment of this Act.


              a-10 logistical and demilitarization support

       The conferees direct the Deputy Assistant Secretary of 
     Defense for Drug Enforcement Policy and Support and the 
     Assistant Secretary of State, Bureau of International 
     Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs to submit a joint 
     report to Congress within thirty days of enactment of the 
     accompanying Act assessing the cost effectiveness of using 
     refurbished A-10 aircraft (currently in storage at AMARC) for 
     the Department of State's coca eradication mission in 
     Colombia. This report shall also discuss the time saved in 
     returning such upgraded aircraft to combat condition should 
     they be needed, compared to the time to bring a storage 
     aircraft to the same combat configuration, and assess the 
     fiscal and operational impacts on the active A-10 combat 
     force of such a transfer. The conferees agree that, if this 
     report contains a joint recommendation to use these aircraft 
     for this mission, $5,000,000 shall be made available from the 
     sums provided under ``Counter-drug Intelligence and 
     Infrastructure Support'' only for this purpose, in accordance 
     with the directive of the House.


                      forward operating locations

       The conferees agree to a reduction of $27,000,000 to the 
     budget request for Forward Operating Locations (FOLs). The 
     conferees agree to provide $10,800,000 to be transferred to 
     Military Construction, Air Force for planning and design of 
     FOLs. The conferees also agree to provide $5,000,000 for 
     transfer to Operation and Maintenance, Air Force only to be 
     used for improvement and repair at the Curacao, Aruba, and 
     Ecuador FOLs. Although the conferees are aware that the 
     Commander in Chief of the U.S. Southern Command recommends 
     that construction at these locations begin as soon as 
     possible, the conferees are concerned that no formal 
     permanent binding long-term agreements for the use of these 
     facilities have been executed between any of the FOL host 
     nations and the United States. Funding beyond that needed for 
     planning and design activities is premature without such 
     agreement in place. The conferees direct that future requests 
     for Military Construction funding for these projects be 
     contained in budget requests for Military Construction.


                    office of the inspector general

       The conferees agree to provide $137,544,000 for the Office 
     of the Inspector General. Of this amount, $136,244,000 shall 
     be for operation and maintenance activities and $1,300,000 
     shall be for procurement.


                  emergency and extraordinary expenses

       The conferees have agreed to increase the amount made 
     available for emergencies and extraordinary expenses to 
     $700,000 and direct the Inspector General to submit an 
     expenditures report in compliance with the requirements 
     contained in section 127 of Title 10, United States Code.

                      TITLE VII--RELATED AGENCIES

  The conferees agree to the following amounts for Related Agencies:

       The Conferees included a general provision (Section 8111) 
     which amends House language to appropriate funds only for

       The conference agreement provides an additional $35,000,000 
     to enhance efforts underway within the Department to develop 
     a comprehensive and integrated domestic emergency response 
     capability against terrorist attacks using weapons of mass 
     destruction. The conference agreement also includes bill

Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Army              6,000,000

       The Conferees included a general provision (Section 8114) 
     which amends House language that prohibits the Department of 
     Defense from using funds provided in Department of Defense 
     Appropriations Acts for the repair and maintenance of 
     military family housing, and requires a review of Department 
     of Defense practices by the DoD Office of the Inspector 
     General.
       The Conferees included a general provision (Section 8115) 
     which amends House language which requires the Secretary of 
     Defense to report on Advanced Concept Technology 
     Demonstrations (ACTDs) prior to the obligation of funds, 
     prohibits the further obligation of fiscal year 1999 funds 
     for Line-of-Sight Anti-Tank (LOSAT) and provides that of 
     funds available under the heading, ``Research, Development, 
     Test and Evaluation, Defense-Wide'' in Public Law 105-262, 
     $10,027,000 is only available for the Air Defense Surface to 
     Air Missile.
       The conferees included a general provision (Section 8116) 
     which amends House language which provides that none of the 
     funds under the heading, ``Research, Development, Test and 
     Evaluation, Defense-Wide'' in Public Law 105-262 are 
     available for the Medium Extended Air Defense System.
       The conferees included a general provision (Section 8121) 
     which amends House language to enhance DoD oversight of 
     information technology systems.
       The conferees included a general provision (Section 8124) 
     which amends House language that permits competitive auction 
     of communication frequencies.
       The new subsection (subsection (c)) reaffirms Congressional 
     intent, as reflected in section 337(d)(4) of the Balanced 
     Budget Act of 1997, that the FCC must ensure that the 
     spectrum to be used for public safety is protected from 
     interference. Section 337(a)(1) of that Act directed the FCC 
     to allocate 24 megahertz for public safety uses, while the 
     current legislation would accelerate the timing of the 
     auction of 36 megahertz of neighboring spectrum which had 
     been allocated in section 337(d)(2) of the 1997 Act. Because 
     the public safety spectrum is adjacent to the spectrum now 
     being auctioned, it is important to affirm that the 
     interference directive in section 337(d) is not being 
     superceded by the current legislation.
       The Congress, in the Balanced Budget Act of 1997, required 
     that public safety services be permitted to operate free from 
     interference from neighboring spectrum. This subsection will 
     reiterate, along with the statutory direction that the 
     auction will be accelerated, that such protection for public 
     safety spectrum must be maintained.

     accompanying logistics support mechanisms already in place.
