       JOINT EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF THE COMMITTEE OF CONFERENCE

       The managers on the part of the House and the Senate at the 
     conference on the disagreeing votes of the two Houses on the 
     amendment of the Senate to the bill (H.R. 2216) making 
     supplemental appropriations for the fiscal year ending 
     September 30, 2001, and for other purposes submit the 
     following joint statement to the House and the Senate in 
     explanation of the effects of the action agreed upon by the 
     managers and recommended in the accompanying conference 
     report.
       Report language included by the House in the report 
     accompanying H.R. 2216 (H. Rept. 107-102) which is not 
     changed by the Senate in the report accompanying S. 1077 (S. 
     Rept. 107-33), and Senate report language which is not 
     changed by the conference are approved by the committee of 
     conference. The statement of managers, while reporting some 
     report language for emphasis, is not intended to negate the 
     language referred to above unless expressly provided therein.

                                TITLE I

                       NATIONAL SECURITY MATTERS

                               CHAPTER I

                         DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

                    Radiation Exposure Compensation


         payment to radiation exposure compensation trust fund

       The conference agreement includes language that provides 
     such sums as may be necessary in fiscal year 2001 to make 
     payment to the Radiation Exposure Compensation Trust Fund. 
     The conferees believe that the Federal government must meet 
     its obligations to persons, and their families, who were 
     exposed to radiation and who now suffer from related 
     diseases. The conferees further note that the compensation 
     payments are based on claimants meeting eligibility criteria 
     and therefore should be mandatory in nature, and such 
     payments are assumed in the fiscal year 2002 congressional 
     budget resolution to be scored as mandatory with enactment of 
     appropriate legislation starting in fiscal year 2002. The 
     conferees are approving these additional funds for fiscal 
     year 2001 with the understanding and expectation that future 
     funding for this purpose will be mandatory and that further 
     discretionary appropriations will not be necessary and should 
     not be provided in subsequent appropriations acts.

                               CHAPTER 2

                    DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE--MILITARY

                           MILITARY PERSONNEL

                          Spare Parts Funding

       The conferees concur with the Senate's recommended 
     reporting requirements concerning supplemental funding for 
     consumable and reparable spare parts.

                    Army Recruiting and Advertising

       The conferees recommend $20,900,000, instead of $25,000,000 
     as proposed by the House to fund the Army's advertising 
     campaign sufficiently through the end of the fiscal year. The 
     conferees are aware of the Army's advertising efforts to 
     focus on certain audiences, including Hispanics, and directs 
     that no less than $5,000,000 of the funds provided be used to 
     further increase existing production efforts directed toward 
     Hispanic recruits.

                     Army Real Property Maintenance

       The conferees do not agree with the direction in the Senate 
     report regarding the allocation of Army real property 
     maintenance funding.

             Department of Defense Energy Demand Reduction

       The conferees include $45,700,000 as proposed by the House 
     instead of $28,700,000 as proposed by the Senate, for 
     Department of Defense energy demand reduction programs. The 
     conferees are greatly concerned about the impact of 
     Department of Defense energy consumption on the Western power 
     grid. The conferees believe strongly that the Secretary of 
     Defense must address this issue with a plan that combines 
     greater energy efficiencies with a determined effort to fully 
     utilize the Department's significant generating capabilities, 
     as well as the land and other natural resources that are 
     available for lease to private power companies. In order to 
     assist in relieving energy demand during electric power 
     emergencies in the western region during such emergencies, 
     the Secretary should use all electric generating facilities 
     owned or operated by the Department of Defense in that 
     region, other than hydroelectric or facilities require for 
     high priority military readiness, to generate energy for use 
     by facilities of the Department of Defense or to be 
     interconnected to public electric power transmission and 
     distribution systems for use on a reimbursable basis. Of the 
     funds provided, the conferees direct the following are to 
     remain available through fiscal year 2002 and to be used as 
     follows:
       For ``Operation and Maintenance, Defense-Wide'', up to 
     $5,500,000, to implement an aggressive energy conservation 
     program which performs energy and sustainability audits of 
     facilities at Department of Defense installations on the 
     Western power grid to produce specific recommendations for 
     immediate implementation of energy conservation measures. The 
     conferees direct that the program be conducted using as equal 
     partners, Brooks Energy and Sustainability Laboratory and 
     Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, with the inclusion of other 
     entities with expertise in the field as appropriate.
       For ``Operation and Maintenance, Defense-Wide'', 
     $1,300,000, to conduct a study of installations within the 
     Western power grid for siting potential energy generating 
     facilities under an environmental stewardship program. The 
     conferees note that the National Defense Authorization Act, 
     2001, expands the Department of Defense's authority to lease 
     real property. This authority could be utilized to site 
     energy generating facilities on installations in return for 
     low cost/no cost reliable power. In addition, there is 
     significant opportunity to leverage private sector investment 
     for environmental restoration in such lease agreements. The 
     conferees direct that the study be focused on and coordinated 
     with an organization having particular experience in 
     establishing a public/private sector capital investment 
     environmental stewardship program for siting power generation 
     systems and addressing urgent environmental issues with 
     potential installations, their local communities, and 
     regulatory agencies. The conferees further direct that the 
     Secretary of Defense designate an appropriate entity using 
     existing personnel within the Department of Defense to 
     centralize service activities under this initiative, and 
     report to the congressional defense committees not later than 
     March 31, 2002, on the results of this study and efforts by 
     the Department to lease real property for these purposes.
       For ``Operation and Maintenance, Navy'', $10,200,000 for 
     geothermal well drilling at China Lake.
       The conferees direct that in distributing requested funds 
     for the Energy Demand Reduction program, the Department 
     should prioritize projects based upon available data to 
     include increases in installation utility costs, the rate of 
     savings in energy demand the project will produce, and the 
     availability of service resources to complete the project. 
     The conferees further direct the Secretary to submit a report 
     to the congressional defense committees within 45 days of 
     enactment of this Act that describes the complete criteria to 
     be used and the proposed projects for distribution of these 
     funds.

                              PROCUREMENT

       The supplemental request included $550,700,000 for 
     functions funded in title III, Procurement, of the Department 
     of Defense Appropriations Act. The conferees recommend 
     $572,650,000 instead of $488,700,000 as proposed by the 
     House, and $596,150,000 as proposed by the Senate. The 
     following table summarizes the conferees' recommendations.

                        OTHER PROCUREMENT, ARMY

                 Shortstop Electronic Protection System

       The conferees agree to restore $4,000,000 of the $8,000,000 
     rescinded by the House for the Shortstop Electronic 
     Protection System (SEPS), and to realign these funds from 
     ``Procurement, Marine Corps'' to ``Other Procurement, Army'', 
     only for the purpose of procuring the SEPS countermeasure 
     system to meet the force protection requirements of Army 
     National Guard units deploying to contingency operations 
     areas and for other Army National Guard requirements.

                       AIRCRAFT PROCUREMENT, NAVY

             Joint Primary Aircraft Training System (JPATS)

       The conferees are concerned by the Department of the Navy's 
     decision to discontinue acquisition of the Joint Primary 
     Aircraft Training System (JPATS) for fiscal years 2002 
     through 2007. JPATS is currently scheduled to replace all Air 
     Force and Navy primary training aircraft and ground based 
     training systems. The program was designed to provide a 
     training aircraft that offers better performance, increased 
     safety, and greater cost-effectiveness than the existing 
     trainer aircraft fleet. The program was also conceived as a 
     joint program with the Navy and the Air Force to create a 
     common multi-service flight training environment as well as 
     to take advantage of economies of scale during the production 
     run.
       The conferees direct that no later than 30 days after the 
     enactment of this Act, the Secretary of the Navy shall submit 
     a report to the House and Senate Appropriations Committees 
     detailing the business case for deferring JPATS acquisition. 
     The report should include a discussion of: (1) all life cycle 
     cost impacts associated with the decision to defer 
     acquisition of JPATS; (2) safety issues related to continued 
     use of the T-34 trainer; and (3) the implications of a non-
     joint initial flight training curriculum.

                     MISSILE PROCUREMENT, AIR FORCE

                         GPS Nuclear Detonation

       The conferees agree to provide $15,500,000 in the ``Missile 
     Procurement, Air Force'' account for GPS Nuclear Detonation. 
     The conferees direct that these funds shall be executed 
     within the line-item entitled, ``NUDET Detection System''. 
     The conferees agree with the Senate direction regarding 
     transfer of funds in the outyears. The conferees expect the 
     Air Force, as executive agent for space, to protect the 
     interests of the diverse stakeholders who rely on enabling 
     space technology to achieve mission success.

               RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT, TEST AND EVALUATION

       The supplemental request included $440,500,000 for 
     functions funded in title IV, Research, Development, Test and 
     Evaluation, of the Department of Defense Appropriations Act. 
     The conferees recommend $492,600,000, instead of $525,600,000 
     as proposed by the House, and $385,500,000 as proposed by the 
     Senate. The following table summarizes the conferees' 
     recommendations.

                  Global Hawk Unmanned Aerial Vehicle

       The conferees agree to provide $17,000,000 to accelerate 
     the development of the Global Hawk High Altitude Endurance 
     Unmanned Aerial Vehicle as recommended by the House, instead 
     of $25,000,000 as recommended by the Senate.
       The conferees agree the Air Force should use up to 
     $3,000,000 of the funds provided to conduct a competitive 
     fly-off demonstration to evaluate existing sensor systems, 
     particularly electro-optical and infrared sensors and 
     synthetic aperture radars. Prior to the obligation of the 
     funds for the fly-off demonstration, the Air Force should 
     submit a report to the House and Senate Committees on 
     Appropriations that outlines the strategy and milestone 
     decision points for the demonstration.

            RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT, TEST AND EVALUATION, NAVY

                                  V-22

       The conferees agree to retain sufficient fiscal year 2001 
     funding for the V-22 program to sustain current minimum 
     production rates and support the Blue Ribbon Panel's 
     findings, as well as make prudent reductions to the program 
     in recognition that the aircraft's deficiencies must be 
     corrected. As such, the conferees approve a supplemental 
     appropriation of $80,000,000 for the V-22 development program 
     only for correction of deficiencies, flight test, and flight 
     test support. A reduction of $199,000,000 is approved for the 
     Marine Corps V-22 procurement program, instead of the 
     $235,000,000 reduction proposed by the Defense Department. 
     This adjustment will allow the Marine Corps to purchase 11 
     aircraft, the minimum production rate required. The conferees 
     also approve a reduction of $327,500,000 from the CV-22 
     procurement program, delaying initial acquisition of this 
     aircraft until deficiencies can be corrected.
       The conferees remain supportive of the goals of the Special 
     Operations Command concerning the CV-22, but believe that all 
     issues with the program restructure need to be resolved 
     before acquisition of CV-22 test articles is warranted.

       The conferees agree to two rescissions totaling $7,000,000, 
     from ``Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Defense-
     Wide'' and a reappropriation of these amounts for the 
     National Imagery and Mapping Agency. The conferees agree to 
     provide $4,000,000 for PIPES and $3,000,000 for Blast 
     Visualization-COTS Visualization and Blast Modeling for Force 
     Protection.

  Center for the Commercial Deployment of Transportation Technologies

       The conferees believe that preliminary studies of high 
     speed cargo craft for ocean shipping conducted by the Center 
     for the Commercial Deployment of Transportation Technologies 
     under the guidance of USTRANSCOM and MARAD hold promise for 
     development of safe and profitable high-speed shipping 
     vessels that would have utility for the movement of high 
     priority military cargo. The conferees expect USTRANSCOM to 
     accelerate planning efforts for follow-on CCDoTT development 
     and engineering activities to aid in the evaluation of 
     current sealift designs, shipbuilding requirements and 
     capabilities, and advanced shipbuilding technology, and 
     examination of market opportunity and economic viability. The 
     USTRANSCOM shall provide to the House and Senate Committees 
     on Appropriations by no later than September 30, 2001 an 
     outyear funding plan including funding requirements and a 
     milestone timetable for continuing the follow-on development 
     and engineering studies for this effort.

            Support to Military Medical Treatment Facilities

       The conferees have agreed to provide an increase over the 
     President's budget request of $150,000,000 to initiate an 
     effort to reverse the disinvestments in the military direct 
     care system. This compares to an increase of $200,000,000 
     proposed by the House and an increase of $68,800,000 proposed 
     by the Senate. The conferees agree that better utilization of 
     direct care military medical treatment facilities must be a 
     principal component of the Department's future plans to 
     control the explosive cost growth in the Defense Health 
     Program. These funds are to be distributed as follows:
       $30,000,000 for Army optimization projects;
       $30,000,000 for Navy optimization projects;

[[Page 13834]]

       $30,000,000 for Air Force optimization projects;
       $30,000,000 for advanced medical practices;
       $30,000,000 for other direct care/MTF requirements.
       The conferees agree to the direction provided in the House 
     report outlining the types of optimization projects that are 
     eligible for these funds, guidance on calculating the cost 
     effectiveness proviso in the bill for potential optimization 
     projects, and the requirement for reporting to Congress on 
     the use of these funds. The conferees agree that the 
     $30,000,000 reserved for advanced medical practices shall be 
     used to implement newly developed practices, procedures and 
     techniques such as laser refractive eye surgery, liquid based 
     cytology, positron emission tomography, non-invasive 
     colonoscopy, and rigorous pre-symptomatic screening to 
     augment existing DoD personal wellness and readiness 
     programs.

                   Outcomes Management Demonstration

       The conferees support the outcomes management demonstration 
     at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center (WRAMC). In addition, 
     the conferees have provided an additional $30,000,000, to 
     remain available until expended, to address immediate 
     shortfalls in the direct care system and military medical 
     treatment facilities. From within these funds, the conferees 
     direct that $16,000,000 be made available to continue the 
     outcomes management demonstration at WRAMC.

                        Recovery of Overpayments

       The conferees are aware of potentially significant 
     opportunities to recover past capital and direct medical 
     expense (CDME) TRICARE overpayments to civilian hospitals. 
     The conferees urge the Secretary of Defense to act 
     expeditiously to recover such overpayments, and to evaluate 
     the use of existing, innovative methodologies developed in 
     the private sector for this type of recovery auditing.

                          Classified Programs

       The recommendations of the conferees regarding classified 
     programs are summarized in a classified annex accompanying 
     this statement.

                    General Provisions--This Chapter

     $834,000,000 as proposed by the House and $792,000,000 as 
     proposed by the Senate. The specific programs and the amounts 
     rescinded are as follows:

                                                          (Rescissions)

     the House which provides $39,900,000 to repair facilities 
     damaged by natural disasters.
       The conferees agree to retain section 1206, as proposed by 
     the House which extends the authorities provided in section 
     816 of the National Defense Authorization Act of 1995, as 
     amended, through January 31, 2002.
       The conferees agree to retain section 1207, as proposed by 
     the Senate concerning retaining all or a portion of Fort 
     Greely, Alaska for missile defense requirements.

       The conferees agree to retain section 1211, as proposed by 
     the Senate which prohibits obligating or expending any fiscal 
     year 2001 funds for retiring or dismantling any of the 
     current force of 93 B-1B Lancer bomber aircraft in fiscal 
     year 2001. The Department of Defense has proposed to retire 
     33 B-1B aircraft at three locations and use a portion of the 
     savings to upgrade the remaining 60 aircraft in the fleet. 
     The conferees note that this provision does not preclude any 
     planning activities by the Department of Defense to retire 
     these 33 aircraft in the future, nor does it prohibit 
     implementation of this plan in FY 2002. The intent of this 
     provision is to afford the Congress and the Department a 
     sufficient amount of time to review the full implications of 
     this proposal and to evaluate all alternatives.
       As part of this review, the Secretary of Defense is 
     directed to provide the congressional defense committees, 
     within 30 days of enactment of this Act, a detailed 
     justification of its B-1B reduction and realignment proposal 
     that includes: (1) A description of the current operational 
     deficiencies of the B-1B aircraft, the plan and cost for 
     correcting those deficiencies (to include increasing the 
     mission capable rate to a minimum of 75 percent), and an 
     assessment of the operational performance, survivability, and 
     overall viability of the upgraded aircraft; (2) a full 
     explanation of the new proposed B-1B basing plan to include a 
     full analysis of basing alternatives that compares the 
     relative fixed and recurring costs at each base, a comparison 
     of the workforce characteristics of each base in terms of 
     experience, productivity and operational performance, and the 
     variable cost differences for different B-1B aircraft 
     maintenance options; and (3) a detailed assessment of the 
     operational, budgetary, and personnel impacts for the Air 
     National Guard.

     $1,000,000 shall be used for enforcement of humane slaughter 
     practices under the Federal Meat Inspection Act, and not more 
     than $500,000 shall be for development and demonstration of 
     technologies to promote the humane treatment of animals, as 
     proposed by the Senate.

       The conference agreement includes $5,000,000 to guard 
     against the threat of foreign animal disease instead of 
     $35,000,000 as proposed by the Senate. It is the intent of 
     the conferees that this sum will be used for equipment 
     purchases that can be executed during fiscal year 2001. The 
     conferees fully expect the Secretary to continue use of funds 
     of the Commodity Credit Corporation as necessary to combat 
     threats of foreign animal disease.

                               CHAPTER 3

                          DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA

       The conference agreement recommends $750,000 in Federal 
     funds, $250,000 by transfer of Federal funds, and the revised 
     supplemental request of $106,588,000 in District funds 
     instead of $107,427,000 in District funds as proposed by the 
     House and $106,677,000 in District funds as proposed by the 
     Senate.

                             Federal funds


          federal contribution to the chief financial officer

                     (including transfer of funds)

       The conference agreement appropriates $1,000,000 in Federal 
     funds, of which $250,000 is by transfer, as a contribution to 
     the Chief Financial Officer of the District of Columbia for 
     payment to the Excel Institute Adult Education Program. The 
     House had proposed an appropriation under ``Public Education 
     System'' of $1,000,000 consisting of $250,000 by transfer and 
     $750,000 from local funds. The Excel Institute is an 
     academic/auto technical training school located in Northwest 
     Washington. The Institute offers young men and women in the 
     District the opportunity to train for a career, earn a high 
     school equivalency diploma, and obtain an unsubsidized job in 
     the automotive industry. The conferees direct the District's 
     Chief Financial Officer to make the above payment to the 
     Institute within 15 days of the enactment of this Act. The 
     conferees do not expect the Chief Financial Officer to 
     administer this program in any way except to ensure that the 
     funds are disbursed promptly and correctly to the Institute.

                       District of Columbia Funds


                   Governmental Direction and Support

                         (including rescission)

       The conference agreement rescinds $250,000 as proposed by 
     the House and inserts language clarifying that the rescission 
     applies to fiscal year 2001 funds as proposed by the Senate.


                  economic development and regulation

       The conference agreement includes language proposed by the 
     Senate modified to place a cap of $60,000 on the amount to be 
     used to implement the provisions of D.C. Bill 13-646 
     pertaining to historic properties. This amount was provided 
     by District officials at the request of the conferees. The 
     conferees note that there was no supporting justification 
     material for this language and direct District officials to 
     submit detailed justification material for all budget 
     requests. The conferees request an accounting by November 30, 
     2001, as to how the funds were used and the purposes for 
     which they were used.


                       Public Safety and Justice

                         (including rescission)

       The conference agreement includes language proposed by the

     the District of Columbia Antitrust Fund ($52,000), the 
     Antifraud Fund ($5,500), and the District of Columbia 
     Consumer Protection Fund ($43,000). The conferees also limit 
     the use of the funds to fiscal year 2001 instead of fiscal 
     year 2002 as proposed by the Senate and ``without fiscal year 
     limitation'' as proposed in the request. The conferees note 
     that there was no supporting justification material for this 
     language. This request is similar to the one just discussed 
     under ``Economic Development and Regulation''. The conferees 
     direct District officials to submit detailed justification 
     material for all budget requests. The conferees request an 
     accounting by November 30, 2001, as to how the funds were 
     used and the purposes for which they were used.


                        Public Education System

       The conference agreement appropriates $13,000,000 as 
     proposed by the Senate instead of $14,000,000 of which 
     $250,000 was by transfer and $750,000 was from local funds as 
     proposed by the House. The conference agreement allocates 
     $1,000,000 for a census-type audit of student enrollment and 
     $12,000,000 for the 2001 summer school session as proposed by 
     the Senate instead of $1,000,000 for a census-type audit of 
     student enrollment, $12,000,000 for the 2001 summer school 
     session and $1,000,000 of which $250,000 was by transfer and 
     $750,000 was from local funds for the Excel Institute Adult 
     Education Program as proposed by the House. Federal funds of 
     $1,000,000, including $250,000 by transfer, for the Excel 
     Institute are provided earlier in this chapter.

                    General Provision--This Chapter

       The conference agreement includes language proposed by the 
     Senate as a new section 2301 modified to require the Mayor to 
     provide to the House and Senate appropriating and authorizing 
     committees a report on the specific authority necessary to 
     carry out the responsibilities transferred to the Chief 
     Financial Officer in a non-control year, outlined in Section 
     155 of Public Law 106-522, and responsibilities outlined in 
     DC Bill 14-254 passed by the District Council on July 10, 
     2001 relating to the transition of responsibilities under 
     Public Law 104-8, the District of Columbia Financial 
     Responsibility and Management Assistance Act of 1995. The 
     report is to be submitted within 45 days of enactment of this 
     Act.
       In 1995, the Congress enacted the District of Columbia 
     Financial responsibility and Management Assistance Act, 
     Public Law 104-8, for the purpose of restoring financial 
     solvency and improving effective management of the District 
     of Columbia. The Act created the ``Control Board'' to oversee 
     the management of the District of Columbia and established an 
     independent Office of the Chief Financial Officer within the 
     District government, responsible for all financial offices of 
     the District (budget, controller, treasurer, finance and 
     revenue) (GAO-01-845T). As the conditions of a ``control 
     period'' have been met and the Control Board terminates at 
     the end of fiscal year 2001, certain functions performed by 
     the Control Board have been transferred to the responsibility 
     of the Chief Financial Officer. Public Law 106-522, the 
     Fiscal Year 2001 District of Columbia Appropriations Act, 
     outlines twenty-four (24) specific responsibilities for the 
     Chief Financial Officer in a non-control year.
       The conferees recognize that the District of Columbia 
     government has enacted legislation promoting the 
     independence, expertise and authority of the Office of the 
     Chief Financial Officer. The conferees are committed to 
     ensuring that the Chief Financial Officer has the necessary 
     tools to insure that reliable, accurate, and objective 
     financial information is available to the Mayor, the Council, 
     the Congress, the financial markets, District citizens an 
     other interested parties. The conferees intend to work 
     closely with the authorizing committees and the District of 
     Columbia on this critical issue as we develop the fiscal year 
     2002 appropriations bill.

     propose funding for this account.

                   operation and maintenance, general

       The conference agreement includes $86,500,000 for Operation 
     and Maintenance, General instead of $139,200,000 as proposed 
     by the House. The Senate did not propose funding for this 
     account. Of the amount provided, $18,000,000 is for the Corps 
     of Engineers to address critical maintenance items at its 
     hydroelectric power facilities. In addition, language has 
     been included in the bill which directs the Corps of 
     Engineers to use $8,000,000 to assist with the recovery 
     efforts resulting from the devastating effects of flooding 
     which occurred in Southern and Central West Virginia in July 
     of this year. The conference agreement also includes language 
     proposed by the House which directs the Corps of Engineers to 
     undertake the project authorized by section 518 of the Water 
     Resources Development Act of 1999.


                 flood control and coastal emergencies

       The conference agreement provides $11,950,000 for Non-
     Defense Environmental Management as proposed by the House 
     instead of $11,400,000 as proposed by the Senate. Additional 
     funding of $10,000,000 is provided to continue cleanup at the 
     Brookhaven National Laboratory in New York, and $1,950,000 is 
     provided to study remediation options at the former Atlas 
     Corporation's uranium mill tailings site near Moab, Utah.


             uranium facilities maintenance and remediation

       The conference agreement provides $230,000,000 for Uranium 
     Facilities Maintenance and Remediation instead of $18,000,000 
     as proposed by the House and the Senate. The conference 
     agreement includes $18,000,000 to accelerate cleanup 
     activities at the gaseous diffusion plant in Paducah, 
     Kentucky, and $12,000,000 to continue decontamination and 
     decommissioning activities at the former gaseous diffusion 
     plant in Oak Ridge, Tennessee.

                          power administration

       The conference agreement provides $1,578,000 for 
     Construction, Rehabilitation, Operation and Maintenance, 
     Western Area Power Administration as proposed by the House, 
     instead of no funding as proposed by the Senate. Non-
     reimbursable funding of $1,328,000 is provided to complete 
     planning and environmental studies for the Path 15 
     transmission line. Non-reimbursable funding of $250,000 is 
     provided to conduct a planning study of transmission 
     expansion options and projected costs in Western's Upper 
     Great Plains Region. Existing Western transmission capacity 
     iis insufficient to support the development of known energy 
     resources that could support new electric generation capacity 
     in the Upper Great Plains Region. The directed study will 
     require assumptions as to future generation locations. 
     Western is directed to solicit suggestions from interested 
     parties for the sites that should be studied as potential 
     locations for new generation and to consult with such parties 
     before conducting the study. Western is directed to produce 
     an objective evaluation of options that may be used by all 
     interested parties.

                    General Provisions--This Chapter

       The conference agreement includes language proposed by the 
     House to provide $500,000 for completion of the feasibility 
     study for Chickamauga Lock, Tennessee.
       The conference agreement does not include language proposed 
     by the House to transfer $23,700,000 from the National 
     Nuclear Security Administration to the Corps of Engineers.
       The conference agreement modifies language proposed by the 
     Senate which allows the Bureau of Reclamation to accept 
     prepayment of certain obligations.
       The conference agreement does not include language proposed 
     by the Senate to provide $250,000 within available funds for 
     the Western Area Power Administration for a study to 
     determine the costs and feasibility of transmission 
     expansion. Funding for this activity has been provided in the 
     Western Area Power Administration appropriation account.
       The conference agreement modifies language proposed by the 
     Senate to amend the Energy Employees Occupational Illness 
     Compensation Program Act of 2000 by including renal cancers 
     as a basis for benefits under this program. The conference 
     agreement makes the provision effective on October 1, 2001.

                         (Including Rescission)

       The conference agreement appropriates $100,000,000 for 
     ``Child Survival and Disease Programs Fund'' as proposed by 
     the Senate. The House bill did not contain a provision on 
     this matter. These funds are available until expended and may 
     be made available, notwithstanding any other provision of 
     law, for a United States contribution to a global trust fund 
     to combat HIV/AIDS, malaria, and tuberculosis.
       The conference agreement rescinds $10,000,000 from fiscal 
     year 2001 and prior year balances available under ``Child 
     Survival and Disease Programs Fund''. The Senate amendment 
     would have rescinded $10,000,000 from fiscal year 2001 funds 
     that were designated for an international HIV/AIDS trust 
     fund. The House bill did not contain a provision on this 
     matter.

       The conference agreement rescinds $10,000,000 from 
     unobligated balances of funds available under the heading 
     ``Economic Support Fund''. The managers expect that the 
     Department of State will consult with the Committees on 
     Appropriations prior to any reallocation of any funds 
     pursuant to this rescission.

                    General Provision--This Chapter

       The conference agreement contains Senate language that 
     provides that the final proviso in section 526 of the Foreign 
     Operations, Export Financing and Related Programs 
     Appropriations Act, 2000, as amended, is repealed, and that 
     the funds identified by such proviso shall be made available 
     pursuant to the authority of section 526 of Public Law 106-
     429. The managers agree with the Senate report language on 
     this provision. The House bill did not address this matter.
       The conference agreement does not contain section 3002 of 
     the House bill regarding a report to the Committees on 
     Appropriations on the projected uses of the unobligated 
     balances of funds available under ``International Disaster 
     Assistance'', including plans for allocating additional 
     resources to respond to the El Salvador earthquakes. The 
     Senate amendment did not address this matter.

       The conference agreement provides $3,000,000 for management 
     of lands and resources as proposed by the Senate, instead of 
     no funding as proposed by the House, to expedite the 
     processing of critical energy related permits. The Senate 
     proposal to derive these funds by transfer from unobligated 
     balances in land acquisition accounts is not agreed to.
       Within the amount provided, $1,250,000 is to reduce the 
     backlog of oil and gas permits on Federal lands including: 
     $300,000 for activities in New Mexico, $200,000 for 
     activities in California, and $750,000 for activities in 
     Wyoming. In addition, $200,000 is to process power plant 
     applications in New Mexico, $100,000 is for power line 
     rights-of-way in California, $500,000 is to support 
     development of the National Petroleum Reserve Alaska, and 
     $950,000 is for studies in the Powder River Basin in Montana 
     to support coalbed methane development, of which $250,000 is 
     for the continuation of wetlands filtration research with the 
     Department of Energy and Montana State University and of 
     which $200,000 is for preparation of a hyperspectral 
     assessment of potential concentrations of gas reserves in the 
     Powder River Basin covered by the ongoing Environmental 
     Impact Statement. The Bureau should report to the House and 
     Senate Committees on Appropriations as soon as possible on 
     the use of hyperspectral data to prioritize the processing of 
     applications to drill.

                United States Fish and Wildlife Service


                              Construction

       The conference agreement provides $17,700,000 for 
     construction as proposed by the House, instead of no funding 
     as proposed by the Senate, to repair damages to U.S. Fish and 
     Wildlife Service facilities caused by floods, ice storms, and 
     earthquakes in the States of Washington, Illinois, Iowa, 
     Minnesota, Missouri, Wisconsin, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and 
     Texas. The House proposal to designate this appropriation as 
     an emergency requirement is not agreed to.

                         National Park Service


                       United States Park Police

       The conference agreement provides $1,700,000 for United 
     States Park Police, as proposed by the House instead of no 
     funding as proposed by the Senate. The House recommendation 
     was based on information from the National Park Service that 
     U.S. Park Police pension costs for fiscal year 2001 had been 
     underestimated and that, in order to cover the pension 
     shortfall, the National Park Service and the U.S. Park Police 
     had to cancel the summer police recruit class. The managers 
     have subsequently learned that the U.S. Park Police did not 
     use the funds from the canceled recruit class to cover the 
     pension shortfall but, instead, funded various other non-
     emergency items. Therefore, the funds provided in this Act 
     are needed to cover the pension plan shortfall and the 
     recruit class will not be reinstated. The managers caution 
     the U.S. Park Police that such unapproved diversions of funds 
     will not be tolerated in the future.

                        Bureau of Indian Affairs


                      Operation of Indian Programs

                     (Including transfers of Funds)

       The conference agreement provides $50,000,000 for operation 
     of Indian programs as requested by the Administration and 
     proposed by both the House and the Senate. The agreement 
     includes two changes to the original language. The first 
     change permits these funds to remain available until expended 
     and the second change clarifies that the funds may be used 
     for electric power operations and related activities at the 
     San Carlos Irrigation Project. The House proposal to 
     designate this appropriation as an emergency requirement is 
     not agreed to.

                             RELATED AGENCY

                       DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

                             Forest Service


                     Forest and Rangeland Research

       The conference agreement provides $1,400,000 for forest and 
     rangeland research as proposed in section 2608 of the Senate 
     bill for research on sudden oak death syndrome, instead of no 
     funding as proposed by the House. The Senate proposal to 
     derive these funds by transfer from unobligated balances in 
     the land acquisition account is not agreed to.


                       State and private Forestry

       The conference agreement provides $24,500,000 for State and 
     private forestry, instead of $22,000,000 as proposed by the 
     House and $2,500,000 as proposed by the Senate. Included are 
     $10,000,000 to address ice storm damages in the States of 
     Arkansas, Oklahoma and Texas, $12,000,000 for pest 
     suppression in several areas of the country, $1,750,000 for 
     emergency fire fighting in anchorage, and $750,000 for the 
     Kenai Peninsula Borough Spruce Bark Beetle Task Force in 
     Alaska. The Senate-proposed language dealing with fire 
     fighting in Alaska has been modified by deleting references 
     to equipment purchases. The House proposal to designate this 
     appropriation as an emergency requirement is not agreed to.


                         National Forest System

       The conference agreement provides $12,000,000 for the 
     national forest system as proposed by the House instead of 
     $10,000,000 as proposed by the Senate, of which $10,000,000 
     is for activities to address ice storm damages in the States 
     of Arkansas and Oklahoma and $2,000,000 is to respond to 
     illegal marijuana cultivation and trafficking in California 
     and Kentucky. The House proposal to designate this 
     appropriation as an emergency requirement is not agreed to.


                        Wildland Fire Management

       The conference agreement provides no funding for wildland 
     fire management as proposed by the Senate, instead of 
     $100,000,000 in emergency funding as proposed by the House.

                  Capital Improvement and Maintenance


                    (Including Rescission of funds)

       The conference agreement provides $4,000,000 for capital 
     improvement and maintenance as proposed by both the House and 
     the Senate to repair damage caused by ice storms in Arkansas 
     and Oklahoma. The House proposal to designate this 
     appropriation as an emergency requirement is not agreed to. 
     The conference agreement also provides for the extension of 
     availability of funds previously appropriated for maintenance 
     and snow removal on the Beartooth Highway as proposed by the 
     Senate.

                    General Provisions--This Chapter

       Section 2601 includes language proposed by the House to 
     permit completion of a wilderness study at Apostle Islands 
     National Lakeshore, WI by the National Park Service. The 
     Senate addressed this provision under the National Park 
     Service ``Operation of the National Park System'' account.
       Section 2602 includes language proposed by the House 
     extending the availability of funds provided in fiscal year 
     2001 for maintenance, protection and preservation of land in 
     the Minuteman Missile National Historic Site, SD. The Senate 
     addressed this provision under the National Park Service 
     ``Operation of the National Park System'' account.
       Section 2603 includes language proposed by the Senate 
     allowing the Bureau of Land Management to use an estimated 
     $168,000 in unobligated balances for land exchanges at Steens 
     Mountain, OR.
       Section 2604 includes language proposed by both the House 
     and the Senate to correct a Public Law reference in section 
     338 of the Interior and Related Agencies Appropriations Act 
     for fiscal year 2001.
       Section 2605 includes language proposed by both the House 
     and the Senate modifying a provision in Public Law 106-558 in 
     order to authorize the payment of full overtime rates for 
     fire fighters in fiscal year 2001.
       Section 2606 includes language proposed by both the House 
     and the to permit the Forest Service to receive reimbursement 
     for expenditures for projects that otherwise qualify for the 
     use of Federal-aid highways funds.
       Section 2607 includes language proposed by the Senate 
     permitting the use of $2,000,000 in fiscal year 2001 funding 
     for a direct payment to Ketchikan Public Utilities in Alaska 
     to clear a right-of-way for the Swan Lake-Lake Tyee Intertie 
     on the Tongass National Forest. Any activity associated with 
     clearing the right-of-way must comply with all applicable 
     Federal and State environmental laws and regulations.
       Section 2608 includes language proposed by the Senate 
     making permanent a provision dealing with the distribution of 
     certain Bureau of Indian Affairs funds to small tribes in 
     Alaska.
       Section 2609 modifies language proposed by the Senate 
     restricting additional self-determination contracts and self-
     governance compacts for the provision of health care services 
     to Alaska Natives. The modification extends the current 
     restriction for three additional years rather than making it 
     a permanent restriction.

                               CHAPTER 7

                          DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

                 Employment and Training Administration


                    training and employment services

                        (including rescissions)

       The conference agreement includes $25,000,000 for the Youth 
     Activities program authorized under the Workforce Investment 
     Act as opposed to $45,000,000 proposed by the Senate. The 
     House bill contained no similar provision. The Secretary of 
     Labor had proposed a reprogramming of fiscal year 2001 funds 
     to increase funding for the Youth Activities program by 
     $45,000,000.
       The conference agreement rescinds $65,000,000 from funds 
     appropriated under sections 169 and 171 of the Workforce 
     Investment Act, of which $25,000,000 is rescinded from funds 
     for Youth Opportunity Grants; $20,000,000 from funds 
     available for Safe Schools/Healthy Students; and $20,000,000 
     from funds available for the Incumbent Workers program. The 
     Senate bill included a rescission totaling $45,000,000; 
     $25,000,000 from Youth Opportunity Grants and $20,000,000 
     from Safe Schools/Healthy Students. The House bill contained 
     no similar provision. The Secretary of Labor had proposed 
     reprogramming these funds for other purposes.
       The conference agreement rescinds $177,500,000 from funds 
     for Dislocated Worker training activities authorized under 
     the Workforce Investment Act, of which, $110,000,000 is from 
     amounts allotted for formula grants to States and $67,500,000 
     is from the National Reserve. The Senate bill rescinded 
     $217,500,000 from the Dislocated Worker program. The House 
     bill contained no similar provision.
       The conference agreement includes provisions directing the 
     Secretary to allocate the rescission in the Dislocated Worker 
     formula grant funds based upon each State's share of the 
     unexpended balances in the program as of June 30, 2001. The 
     Senate bill contained provisions directing the Secretary to 
     increase State program year 2001 allotments to States with 
     acceptable program expenditures by re-allotting unexpended 
     balances from States determined by the Secretary to have 
     excess unexpended program balances as of June 30, 2001. The 
     House bill contained no similar provisions.
       In addition, the conference agreement modifies language 
     included in the Senate bill to make the rescission effective 
     at the time the Secretary determines, based upon the best 
     information available, the unexpended balances in each of the 
     States. The conferees expect the Secretary of Labor to render 
     her determination by no later than September 30, 2001. The 
     House bill contained no similar provision.
       The conferees note that the Governors of each State under 
     the Workforce Investment Act have the authority to re-
     allocate unobligated funds among local areas. The conferees 
     encourage the Governors to exercise this authority for local 
     areas where there is need.
       The conferees are aware of concerns about rescinding 
     Workforce Investment Act training funds during a period of 
     economic slowdown. However, based on the information 
     available to the conferees, it appears that there is excess 
     funding available in the program and the rescission is 
     necessary to meet other needs in fiscal year 2001.
       The conferees understand that the Secretary of Labor 
     requires the Governors to submit State financial data for the 
     three Workforce Investment Act block grants on a quarterly 
     basis. The data for June 30, 2001, the end of the program 
     year, is due on August 15, 2001. The conferences believe that 
     timely and accurate data are critical in order for the 
     Congress to meet its oversight responsibilities for this 
     important program. Therefore the conferees direct the 
     Secretary to submit to the House and Senate Committees on 
     Appropriations an expenditure data report on each of the 
     three Workforce Investment Act block grants at the State 
     level and for the National Reserve funds within not more than 
     60 days of the end of the quarter beginning with the data 
     from the end of program year 2000 and continuing through 
     program year 2001.

              Pension and Welfare Benefits Administration


                         salaries and expenses

       The conferees agreement includes a provision amending the 
     Department of Labor, Health and Human Services, and 
     Education, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2001, to 
     extend the availability of funds included for the National 
     Summit on Retirement Savings to September 30, 2002. The 
     conferees understand the Administration expects to convene 
     the Summit in the first part of fiscal year 2002. Neither the 
     House nor the Senate bills addressed this matter.

[[Page 13839]]



                DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

              Health Resources and Services Administration


                     health resources and services

       The conferees agreement includes two technical corrections 
     as proposed by the Senate. The House bill contained no 
     similar provisions.

                     National Institutes of Health


                     (including transfer of funds)

       The conferees understand that bill language is no longer 
     necessary and therefore deletes without prejudice the 
     language proposed by the Senate. The conferees further 
     understand that the National Institutes of Health will use 
     funds appropriated to the Office of the Director to proceed 
     with the planning and start-up activities of the newly 
     authorized National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and 
     Bioengineering. The House bill contained no similar 
     provision.
       The conferees agreement includes language to provide for 
     the transfer of $7,115,000 from the National Library of 
     Medicine to the Buildings and Facilities account to complete 
     the design phase of a National Library of Medicine facility. 
     The House and Senate bills contained no similar provision.

       Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration


               substance abuse and mental health services

       The conferees agreement provides $6,500,000 for 
     maintenance, repair, preservation, and protection of St. 
     Elizabeths Hospital as proposed by the Senate. The House bill 
     contained no similar provision.

                Administration for Children and Families


                   low income home energy assistance

       The conferees agreement includes $300,000,000 in 
     contingency funds to provide home energy assistance to low-
     income households, as authorized under section 2602(e) of the 
     Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1981 and provides that 
     these funds shall be available until expended, as proposed in 
     the Senate bill. The House bill also included $300,000,000 in 
     contingency funds but did not make the funds available beyond 
     September 30, 2001. The conference agreement provides 
     $150,000,000 above the Administration's request of 
     $150,000,000.
       The conferees expect that half of the $300,000,000 will be 
     available for target assistance to States with the most 
     critical needs, which may include needs arising from 
     significant energy cost increases, significant increases in 
     arrearages and disconnections, home energy shortages and 
     supply disruptions, weather-related emergencies, natural 
     disasters, or increases in unemployment. The conferees 
     further expect that the remaining half of the funds will be 
     distributed based on the LIHEAP block grant statutory formula 
     so that every State has additional resources to address unmet 
     energy assistance needs resulting from the extraordinary 
     price increases in home heating fuels experienced during this 
     past winter as well as funds to address unanticipated 
     emergencies. The conferees note that the Department has 
     allocated the last three emergency LIHEAP distributions to 
     the States in this manner. The conferees direct the 
     Department to provide notification to the House and Senate 
     Committee on Appropriations of the amount, manner of 
     distribution and justification for the release of funds not 
     less than seven days prior to any allotment or release of 
     funds.

                Children and Families Services Programs

       The conferees concur with language contained in the Senate 
     report regarding a technical correction. The House report 
     contained no similar provision.

                    General Departmental Management

       The conferees are displeased with the way in which the 
     Department of Health and Human Services has handled responses 
     to the May 4, 2001 stem cell letter and its refusal to 
     provide to the Committees on Appropriations the report ``Stem 
     Cells: Scientific Progress and Future Research Directions'' 
     when requested. The conferees direct that specific 
     information requests from the Chairmen and Ranking Members of 
     the Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services and 
     Education and Related Agencies, on stem cell research or any 
     other matter, shall be transmitted to the Committees on 
     Appropriations, in a prompt professional manner, and within 
     the time frame specified in the request. The conferees 
     further direct that scientific information requested by the 
     committees on Appropriations and prepared by government 
     researchers and scientists, be transmitted to the Committees 
     on Appropriations, uncensored and without delay.

                        DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION

                            Education Reform

       The conference agreement includes a technical correction as 
     proposed by both the House and the Senate.
       The conferees understand that the Department plans to award 
     only implementation grants, but no planning grants, to school 
     districts under the fiscal year 2001 Smaller Learning 
     Communities program. The conferees are very concerned about 
     this decision and expect the Department to award both types 
     of grants, and to apply the same competitive priorities used 
     in the fiscal year 2000 grant competition in determining 
     which applicants are funded in the fiscal year 2001 grant 
     competition. In addition, the conferees expect that the 
     department will continue outreach and technical assistance 
     activities to help ensure that school districts are aware 
     that smaller schools and smaller learning communities are 
     effective research-based strategies to improve student 
     safety, morale, retention, and academic achievement.

                    Education for the Disadvantaged

       The conference agreement includes a technical correction 
     relating to the amount of funding available for Basic Grants 
     in school year 2001-2002 as proposed by both the House and 
     the Senate.
       The conference agreement also includes an additional 
     $161,00,000 for the Title I Grants to LEAs program. It is the 
     intent of the conferees that, when taken together with the 
     technical correction to the basic grants amount, these 
     additional resources will result in a final fiscal year 2001 
     appropriations of $7,397,971,000 for basic grants and 
     $1,364,750,000 for concentration grants. The conferees 
     further intend that these additional resources will be used 
     to provide each State and local educational agency the 
     greater of either the amount it would receive at levels 
     specified in the conference report to accompany H.R. 4577 
     under the 100-percent hold harmless or what it would receive 
     using the statutory formulas. These provisions were proposed 
     by both the House and the Senate.
       The technical correction made to the appropriation for this 
     program and the additional resources made available by this 
     supplemental appropriations act shall take effect as if 
     included in Public Law 106-554 on the date of its enactment.

                               Impact Aid

       The conference agreement includes a provision requiring 
     Impact Aid construction funds to be distributed in accordance 
     with the formula outlined in section 8007 of the Impact Aid 
     program as that section existed in fiscal year 2000 as 
     proposed by both the House and Senate.

                           Special Education

       The conference agreement includes a technical correction as 
     proposed by both the House and the Senate.

            Education Research, Statistics, and Improvement

       The conference agreement includes technical corrections as 
     proposed by both the House and the Senate.

                    General Provisions--This Chapter

       Section 2701. The conference agreement includes a provision 
     clarifying the intent of the Congress with regard to funding 
     provided pursuant to section 117 of the Carl D. Perkins 
     Vocational and Technical Education Act of 1998 as proposed by 
     the Senate. Funding available for this section is intended to 
     be provided only to tribal colleges that do not receive 
     Federal support under the Tribally Controlled Community 
     College or University Assistance Act of 1978 or the Javajo 
     Community College Act and whose primary purpose is to provide 
     full-time technical and vocational educational programs to 
     American Indian students. The House bill contained no similar 
     provision.
       Section 2702. The conference agreement includes a provision 
     authorizing the use of fiscal year 2001 funds specifically 
     for transition from the use of analog to digital technology 
     for the provision of public broadcasting services for fiscal 
     year 2001. The Senate bill included language amending the 
     authorizing statute to establish a grant program and included 
     two-year authorization of appropriations for the grant 
     program. The House bill contained no similar provision.
       Section 2703. The conference agreement includes a provision 
     proposed by the Senate which makes a permanent change to 
     section 8003 of the elementary and Secondary Education Act to 
     clarify which small school districts are eligible for special 
     payments authorized within the basic support payments 
     program. The conference agreement also includes a provision 
     proposed by the Senate stating that this change shall apply 
     to funding available in the Department of Education 
     Appropriations Act, 2001. The House bill contained no similar 
     provisions.
       These provisions will change the fiscal year 2001 
     allocations under the basic support payment program of Impact 
     Aid, resulting in some school districts receiving less than 
     they were expecting to receive in fiscal year 2001 funds. The 
     conferees note that the National Association of Federally 
     Impacted Schools supports the adoption of this provision.
       The conferees became aware that certain State and district 
     per pupil expenditure data limitations made some of the 
     intended beneficiary districts ineligible for the special 
     payment provisions authorized in the Impact Aid 
     reauthorization bill enacted into law last year. While the 
     appropriation for basic support payments in the Department of 
     Education Appropriations Act, 2001 assumed full funding for 
     these payments, the initial payment calculations made for 
     school districts did not. As a result, approximately 
     $2,900,000 set aside for payments to districts eligible for 
     special payments was included in the calculation for 
     distribution to non-eligible districts. The conferees intend 
     to make an additional $2,900,000 available in the fiscal year 
     2002 education appropriations bill to offset the effect of 
     this amendment.

       The conference agreement includes a $30,000,000 rescission 
     of contract authority as proposed by the House and Senate. 
     Because these funds are above the annual limitation on 
     obligations, the rescission will have no effect on current 
     program activities.

                     Federal Highway Administration


                     emergency highway restoration

       U.S. 119, Letcher County, KY.--The conference agreement 
     provides $9,100,000 to the Commonwealth of Kentucky for 
     safety improvements to U.S. 119 in Letcher County, Kentucky. 
     U.S. 119 is a major commercial artery on the National Highway 
     System in eastern Kentucky. A section of this road has been 
     the site of several major accidents in recent years, 
     including an accident involving a school bus six months ago. 
     The Commonwealth of Kentucky recently prohibited use of the 
     roadway by large commercial vehicles, which the state 
     determined cannot safely negotiate several narrow sections of 
     the highway. The state's action, while necessary, will 
     disrupt commerce in this region, impacting businesses and 
     families. The funds provided will allow the state to 
     immediately implement major safety improvements that must

[[Page 13841]]

     occur before safe commercial use of the road can resume.
       Lake Street access, Minneapolis, MN.--The conference 
     agreement provides $4,700,000 for work to proceed to provide 
     access to I-35 West from Lake Street in Minneapolis, 
     Minnesota.

     provides $500,000 for work to proceed for a new interchange 
     on Interstate 55, at the point the Interstate passes over 
     Weber Road and the River Des Peres. The new interchange would 
     allow increased access to the neighborhood of LeMay in St. 
     Louis County and is critical to a local revitalization plan.
       Highway damage in northwest Wisconsin.--The conference 
     agreement provides $500,000 for necessary repairs due to 
     recent disasters, including the flood, wind, and ice storm of 
     April 29, 2001.

     appropriations and contract authorizations of $15,918,497 in 
     unobligated balances from completed highway projects in eight 
     previous highway authorization and appropriations acts, 
     instead of $14,000,000 proposed by the Senate. The House bill 
     contained no similar rescissions.

                             RELATED AGENCY

       The conference agreement includes $2,000,000, proposed by 
     the Senate, for a joint U.S.-Canada commission to study the 
     feasibility of connecting the rail system in Alaska to the 
     North American continental rail system. Funds are made 
     available until expended. The agreement specifies that the 
     funds are to be provided directly to the commission, rather 
     than to the Alaska Railroad as proposed by the Senate. The 
     House bill contained no similar appropriation.

                    General Provisions--This Chapter

       The conference agreement includes a provision, proposed by 
     the Senate, making fiscal year 1999 and 2000 funds for 
     Northern New Mexico bus and bus facilities projects also 
     available for State of New Mexico buses and bus-related 
     facilities. The House bill contained no similar provision.
       The conference agreement deletes a provision proposed by 
     the Senate which would have made airport development projects 
     in two locations eligible for grants under the Airport 
     Improvement Program by waiving the requirement that such 
     airports be included in FAA's National Plan of Integrated 
     Airport Systems (NPIAS). The House bill contained no similar 
     provision.
       The conference agreement does not include provisions 
     proposed by the Senate which would have prohibited 
     reallocation of funds for the Morgantown, West Virginia fixed 
     guideway modernization project or the Tuscaloosa, Alabama 
     intermodal center. Instead, the conferees direct the Federal 
     Transit Administration not to reallocate funds provided in 
     the fiscal year 1999 Department of Transportation and Related 
     Agencies Appropriations Act (P.L. 105-277) for the 
     Tuscaloosa, Alabama intermodal center and the Morgantown, 
     West Virginia fixed guideway modernization project. Funds are 
     extended only for one additional year, absent further 
     congressional direction. The House bill contained no similar 
     provision.

       The conference agreement does not include language proposed 
     in the House bill authorizing the expenditure of fees 
     available in the fund. The conferees understand that separate 
     legislation has been enacted to allow for the expenditure of 
     these fees in fiscal year 2001. The Senate bill did not 
     address this matter.

                     Federal Housing Administration


             FHA--MUTUAL MORTGAGE INSURANCE PROGRAM ACCOUNT

                          (TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

       The conference agreement includes language authorizing the 
     Department to use $8,000,000 from within existing fiscal year 
     2001 appropriations for FHA administrative expenses and HUD 
     salaries and expenses to pay the obligation and accrued 
     interest resulting from a probable fiscal year 2000 violation 
     of the Anti-Deficiency Act, as proposed in both the House and 
     Senate bills.


                fha--general and special risk insurance

       The conference agreement does not include an additional 
     appropriation for this account as proposed in the House bill. 
     Language is not included to remove certain requirements on 
     supplemental funds provided for this account in fiscal year 
     2000 as proposed in the Senate bill.

                          INDEPENDENT AGENCIES

                      Department of Defense--Civil

                       Cemeterial Expenses, Army


                         salaries and expenses

  The conferees have amended the language included in the House bill 
providing $243,059 to pay the Cemetery's disputed water bill with the 
District of Columbia. Instead, the conferees have included a provision 
directing the Department of Defense to pay the disputed water bill in 
excess of the amount already paid by the Cemetery, and reimburse the 
Cemetery for any draw-down on funds made by the Treasury in excess of 
the Cemetery's current payment.

                    Environmental Protection Agency


                 environmental programs and management

       The conferees have amended language proposed by the House 
     which clarifies the intent of Congress with respect to grants 
     made for work in Cortland County, New York and Central New 
     York watersheds. The language further clarifies the intent of 
     Congress with respect to a grant made in Public Law 106-377 
     to the Salt Lake Organizing Committee for environmental work 
     related to the 2002 Winter Olympic Games.


                   state and tribal assistance grants

       The conferees have included language proposed by the House 
     and the Senate clarifying the intent of Congress with respect 
     to a grant made to the City of Beloit, Wisconsin. The 
     conferees have similarly included language proposed by the 
     House which clarifies the intent of Congress with respect to 
     grants made to Hartselle Utilities in Alabama and to the 
     Southwest Florida Water Management District, and which 
     correctly states the dollar amount provided in fiscal year 
     2001 for grants under this heading.
       The conferees have amended language proposed by the House 
     which clarifies the intent of Congress with respect to grants 
     made to the Limestone County Water and Sewer Authority in 
     Alabama, and to the City of Clinton, Tennessee.

                  Federal Emergency Management Agency


                            disaster relief

       The conferees agree to make no changes to the FEMA Disaster 
     Relief account for fiscal year 2001. The House had proposed a 
     rescission of $389,200,000 and the Senate had proposed an 
     increase of $1,000,000 for this account. The conferees agree 
     that recent significant natural disasters, including tropical 
     storm Allison, have severely depleted funds previously 
     provided for disaster relief. The conferees note that the 
     status of the disaster relief fund today is quite different 
     from the status at the time the House originally proposed its 
     rescission. At that time over $2,000,000,000 was available, 
     but today only about $800,000,000 is available. With 
     significant costs yet to be covered, it is clear that 
     rescinding funds from this account is not any longer 
     possible. Likewise, it is not clear that an eminent need 
     exists for additional funding and the conferees have agreed 
     to provide no additional funding in fiscal year 2001.

             National Aeronautics and Space Administration


                           human space flight

       The conferees have agreed to changes in language enacted as 
     part of Public Law 106-74 (the Fiscal Year 2000 VA-HUD-
     Independent Agencies Appropriations Act) as proposed by the 
     Senate instead of the changes proposed by the House. The 
     final proviso under this heading in Public Law 106-74 
     restricts the use of $40,000,000 to the shuttle research 
     mission, commonly referred to as the R-2 mission, to occur 
     after the STS-107 shuttle research mission. Subsequent events 
     have increased the cost of STS-107 and significantly delayed 
     any future research mission, resulting in a need to modify 
     the original proviso prior to the funds expiring on September 
     30, 2001. The House had proposed deletion of the final 
     proviso under this heading in Public Law 106-74, thus 
     allowing the funds to be used for other purposes. The House 
     provision also included language restricting a portion of the 
     funds to research associated with the International Space 
     Station. The Senate proposed to modify the proviso to allow 
     the funds to be used for purposes other than originally 
     intended and does not include any reference to the 
     International Space Station research.
       The conferees agree that the original direction included in 
     the proviso is no longer valid. The conferees agree that 
     $32,000,000-35,000,000 of the funds provided in the original 
     proviso remain available. The conferees agree that 
     $17,000,000 of the funds shall be to cover cost increases 
     associated with the STS-107 mission which have already been 
     incurred and the funding can be legitimately expended prior 
     to September 30, 2001. The mission's costs have increased 
     because its launch has been delayed due to the need for 
     extensive repairs to the shuttle Columbia's wiring and 
     schedule changes associated with the Hubble servicing 
     mission. The remaining funds shall be used prior to September 
     30, 2001 for any projects or activities NASA deems to be in 
     legitimate need of funding. The conferees further agree that 
     NASA is to take all necessary action to ensure that the STS-
     107 research mission is accomplished and contractual 
     obligations are met during fiscal years 2001 and 2002. NASA 
     is directed to provide the Committees on Appropriations a 
     full accounting of the use of the fiscal year 2000 funding 
     and the subsequent fiscal year accounting adjustments to 
     reflect full funding of the STS-107 mission prior to its 
     launch currently scheduled for May 2002.
       The conferees understand work is already underway and 
     international partners are involved in research scheduled for 
     R2 and therefore expect NASA to continue to pursue options 
     for carrying out this life and microgravity research as well 
     as work to increase research funding and flight opportunities 
     during ISS assembly.

                           GENERAL PROVISION

       The conference agreement does not include section 2901, 
     recommended in the House bill, as this matter has been 
     addressed under the Community development fund account as 
     recommended in the Senate bill.

                               TITLE III

                      General Provisions--This Act

       The conference agreement includes a provision as proposed 
     by both the House and Senate that limits the availability of 
     funds provided in this Act.
       The conference agreement deletes a provision proposed by 
     the House relating to the Buy American Act. The Senate bill 
     contained no similar provision.
       The conference agreement includes an appropriation of 
     $1,700,000 for the United States-China Security Review 
     Commission, as proposed by the Senate. The House bill 
     contained no similar provision.
