identify and report to the congressional defense committees not
later than October 1, 1997--
(1) the amounts necessary, by appropriation
account, for all anticipated costs to the United States
for the admission of the Czech Republic, Poland and
Hungary to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization for
the fiscal years 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001 and 2002; and

Sec. 8123. (a) The Secretary of Defense may, on a case-
by-case basis, waive with respect to a foreign country each
limitation on the procurement of defense items from foreign
sources provided in law if the Secretary determines that the

would invalidate cooperative programs entered into between the
Department of Defense and the foreign country, or would

Sec. 8124. It is the sense of Congress that should the

Sec. 8125. Congress finds that the Defense Base Closure
and Realignment Commission directed the transfer of only 10
electro-magnetic test environment systems from Eglin Air Force

Sec. 8126. (a) Findings.--(1) The Department of Defense
budget is insufficient to fulfill all the requirements on the
unfunded priorities lists of the military services and defense
agencies;
(2) the documented printing expenses of the Department of
Defense amount to several hundred million dollars per year, and
a similar amount of undocumented printing expenses may be
included in external defense contracts;
(3) printing in two or more colors generally increases
costs;
(4) the Joint Committee on Printing of the Congress of
the United States has established regulations intended to
protect taxpayers from extravagant Government printing
expenses;
(5) the Government Printing and Binding Regulations
published by the Joint Committee on Printing direct that ``. .
. it is the responsibility of the head of any department,
independent office or establishment of the Government to assure
that all multicolor printing shall contribute demonstrable
value toward achieving a greater fulfillment of the ultimate
end-purpose of whatever printed item in which it is
included.'';
(6) the Department of Defense publishes a large number of
brochures, calendars, and other products in which the use of
multicolor printing does not appear to meet the demonstrably
valuable contribution requirement of the Joint Committee on
Printing, but instead appears to be used primarily for
decorative effect; and
(7) the Department of Defense could save resources for
higher priority needs by reducing printing expenses.
(b) Sense of the Senate.--Therefore, it is the sense of
the Senate that--
(1) the Secretary of Defense should ensure that the
printing costs of the Department of Defense and
military services are held to the lowest amount
possible;
(2) the Department of Defense should strictly
comply with the Printing and Binding Regulations
published by the Joint Committee on Printing of the
Congress of the United States;
(3) the Department of Defense budget submission for
fiscal year 1999 should reflect the savings that will
result from the stricter printing guidelines in
paragraphs (1) and (2).

Definition of Program, Project, and Activity
The conferees agree that for the purposes of the Balanced

99-177) as amended by the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit
Control Reaffirmation Act of 1987 (Public Law 100-119) and by
the Budget Enforcement Act of 1990 (Public Law 101-508), the
term program, project, and activity for appropriations

TITLE I--MILITARY PERSONNEL
The conferees agree to the following amounts and end
strength totals for the Military Personnel accounts as follows:
[In thousands of dollars]

personnel understrength
The conferees recommend a total reduction of $303,200,000
to the services military personnel accounts due to lower than
estimated end strengths during fiscal year 1997. The conferees
understand that the Services will begin fiscal year 1998 with
fewer personnel on-board than originally budgeted, therefore,
the requirements for pays and allowances of personnel are
overstated. A summary of the understrength reductions is shown
in the table below:
[In thousands of dollars]
Army.................................................... -$240,000
Navy.................................................... -10,000
Marine Corps............................................ -3,600
Air Force............................................... -44,600
Army Reserve............................................ -5,000
--------------------------------------------------------
____________________________________________________
Total................................................. -303,200
force structure changes
The fiscal year 1998 budget request included reductions
in the size of Primary Aircraft Authorized (PAA) levels for Air
Force B-52's, and Air Force Reserve and Air National Guard C-
130's units. The conferees recommend restoring these aircraft
levels during fiscal year 1998. In addition, the conferees
recommend adding funds to support the Air Force Reserve's WC-
130 Weather Reconnaissance mission, and Navy Reserve LAMPS
squadrons. In total, the conferees recommend an additional
$11,779,000 in the military personnel accounts and $64,373,000
in the services Operations and Maintenance accounts for
personnel and support costs of these units. A summary of the
funds provided follows:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Military

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Air Force, B-52's............................... 4,500 42,400 10,400 57,300

---------------------------------------------------------------
Total..................................... 11,779 64,373 10,400 86,552
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
foreign currency savings
The budget request reduces the active duty military
personnel accounts by $62,000,000 for foreign currency savings
due to favorable fluctuations in overseas exchange rates. The
conferees understand that there are additional savings and
recommend a further reduction of $16,000,000 to the personnel
accounts, for a total foreign currency reduction of
$78,000,000.
contingency operations funding
The fiscal year 1998 budget request recommended
$213,600,000 for pay and allowances of military personnel in
the ``Overseas Contingency Operations Transfer Fund'', for cost
of operations in Bosnia during fiscal year 1998. The conferees
agree to the realignment of these funds into the Services
military personnel accounts.
temporary early retirement authority
The conferees recommend a total of $126,902,000 for Army
and Air Force Temporary Early Retirement Authority. Of this
amount, the conferees agree to restore $36,902,000, the budget
request, for Army separation payments. However, due to enlisted
understrength projections, the conferees recommend $90,000,000,
a reduction of $57,836,000 from the budget request, for Air
Force separation payments.

real property maintenance
The conferees are concerned about the extensive backlog
of real property maintenance in the Department of Defense and
the effect this has on the morale of U.S. service personnel.
Accordingly, the conferees agree to provide a total of
$724,620,000, of which $360,000,000 is provided in the Quality
of Life Enhancements, Defense account. The conferees also agree
that, of the funds for real property maintenance provided
within Operation and Maintenance, Army that $15,000,000 shall
be used for demolition requirements previously identified by
the Department of the Army. In the case of real property
maintenance funding provided directly to the services'
Operation and maintenance accounts, the conferees agree the
Department of Defense should provide written notification to
the congressional defense committees for transfers of greater
than $15,000,000 to or from the total real property maintenance
amount provided to each service.
operation and maintenance budget execution data
The conferees support the position expressed in the House
report accompanying the Defense Appropriations bill for fiscal
year 1998 requiring the Department of Defense to provide the
congressional defense committees with quarterly budget
execution data. Such data should be provided not later than
forty-five days past the close of each quarter of the fiscal
year, and should provide data for each O-1 budget activity,
activity group, and subactivity for each of the active,
defense-wide, reserve and national guard components. These
reports should also include: the budget request and actual
obligations for each O-1 budget activity, activity group, and
subactivity; the DoD distribution of any unallocated
congressional adjustments to the budget request to each budget
activity, activity group, and subactivity group; and,
adjustments to each budget activity, activity group and
subactivity group resulting from DoD reprogramming actions.
operation and maintenance reprogramming
The conferees agree that proposed transfers of funds
between O-1 budget activities in excess of $15,000,000 are
subject to normal, prior approval reprogramming procedures.
The Department should also follow prior approval
reprogramming procedures for the cumulative value of transfers
in excess of $15,000,000 into or out of the following O-1
subactivity groups.
Operation and maintenance, Army
Depot maintenance.
Operation and maintenance, Navy
Aircraft depot maintenance, ship depot maintenance, and
Intermediate maintenance.
Operation and maintenance, Marine Corps
Depot maintenance.
The conferees further direct the Secretary of the Air
Force to identify in separate budget subactivities depot
maintenance for budget activity one and budget activity two in
the fiscal year 1999 budget request and subsequent budget
requests. In addition, due to continuing concerns about force
readiness and the apparent diversion of Operation and
maintenance funds, the conferees agree that the Department
should provide written notification to the congressional
defense committees for the cumulative value of any and all
transfers in excess of $15,000,000 from or into the following
budget activities and subactivity group categories:
Operation and maintenance, Army
Land Forces: Divisions, Corps combat forces, Corps
support forces, Echelon above corps forces, Land forces
operations support; Land Forces Readiness: Land forces depot
maintenance.
Operation and maintenance, Navy
Air Operations: Mission and other flight operations;
Fleet air training, Aircraft depot maintenance; Ship
Operations: Mission and other ship operations, Ship operational
support and training, Intermediate maintenance, Ship depot
maintenance.
Operation and maintenance, Marine Corps
Expeditionary Forces: Operational forces, depot
maintenance.
Operation and maintenance, Air Force
Air Operations: Primary combat forces, Primary combat
weapons, Air operations training; Mobility Operations: Airlift
operations, Payments to the transportation business area.
Defense Computer Investigations Training Program
computer forensics lab
The conferees support the Department of Defense efforts
to improve information security and investigative capabilities
related to computer crimes. The conferees urge the Department
of Defense to allocate $8,500,000 of the funds available in
Operation and Maintenance, Navy and $2,700,000 available in
Operation and Maintenance, Air Force to improve capabilities in
this area. Further, the conferees direct that the Department of
Defense fully fund these activities in the fiscal year 1999
budget request.
chemical-biological defense funding
The conferees recommend that the Department of Defense
use existing facilities with explosives ranges capable of
handling large blasts and existing instructional and research
programs in response to blast, radiological, biological and
chemical threats.
distance education
The conferees recognize that in recent nationwide
surveys, one out of three homeless men identifies himself as a
military veteran. The conferees further recognize that a
significant percentage of the thousands of men and women
leaving the armed forces each year are doing so without having
earned either an associates or bachelors degree. This lack of
formal education credentials may be making it more difficult
for veterans to secure good jobs following their military
service. Therefore, the conferees encourage the Department to
explore distance education initiatives that could assist active
duty personnel and their family members, DoD civilian employees
and veterans in pursuing college-level degrees. These distance
education degree-granting initiatives must be portable so that
they can be pursued regardless of changes of duty station.
environmentally safe fuel storage tanks
The conferees support Department of Defense efforts to
develop and install environmentally safe fuel storage tanks.
Accordingly, the conferees direct that $2,000,000 of the funds
in Operation and Maintenance, Marine Corps, and $2,000,000 of
the funds made available in Operation and Maintenance, Air
Force be used to support such efforts.
Northern Mariana Islands
The conferees are aware of communications between the
Government of the Northern Mariana Islands and the Department
of Defense concerning future development of certain lands on
the island of Tinian in the Commonwealth of the Northern
Mariana Islands under lease to the United States. Accordingly,
the conferees believe the Secretary of Defense should consider
a development plan approved by the Government of the
Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands to be a
``Permitted Use'' within the meaning of Article 1, Subsection D
of the Leaseback and Disposal Agreement between the
Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands and the United
States of America dated August 4, 1994, provided that (1) such
a plan has been approved by the Government of the Commonwealth
of the Northern Mariana Islands, and (2) the plan does not
preclude use of the land for urgent military purposes.

Depot Maintenance
The conferees recommend increasing the Army depot
maintenance funding by $143,200,000 above the budget request.
In addition, $16,000,000 is provided in budget activity 4,
Administration and Service-wide support to provide for
transportation and warehousing costs associated with the
increase in the funded depot maintenance program. The conferees
remain concerned about backlogs in the repair and maintenance
of communications and electronic equipment. Accordingly,
$43,500,000 of the total depot maintenance increase is
allocated to the U.S. Army Communications-Electronics Command
Battlefield Communications Review program, for performance at
Army depots, of the following workloads: $21,000,000 for
repair/maintenance of Mobile Subscriber Equipment shelters,
prime movers, and accessories or support equipment; $15,800,000
for the repair/maintenance of Non-Integrated Communications
Secure and Integrated Communications Secure SINCGARS radios and
accessories or support equipment; and $6,700,000 for the
repair, maintenance or modification of the AN/TS-85 and AN/TSC-
93 Tactical Satellite Communications Terminals, associated
antenna systems, accessories or support equipment.
In addition, the conferees are concerned about the
increasing backlog of depot maintenance workload associated
with inventory drawdowns in support of contingency operations.
Accordingly, the conferees recommend that the Army apply
$30,000,000 of the total increase to this workload.
Army Logistics Automation
The House and Senate bills each addressed separate
shortfalls totaling $46,900,000 in Army Logistics Automation.
The conferees agree to provide $20,000,000 in Operations and
Maintenance, Army and $10,000,000 in Other Procurement, Army
(LOGTECH) to support both these critical efforts.
Air Battle Captain Program
The conferees concur with the funding provided for the
continuation of the Air Battle Captain program, and direct that
program continue to accept new students.
Eisenhower Center
The conferees have provided $2,000,000 only for the
Eisenhower Center for military history and education efforts
focusing on combat leadership, motivation, endurance and
including historical exhibits, equipment, and the collection,
transcribing, and cataloging of oral histories and written
memoirs of combat veterans
North Star Borough Landfill
Of the funds provided in this account, the conferees
direct the Department of the Army to provide $5,000,000 for
developmental costs associated with the expansion of the North
Star Borough landfill.

SHIP DEPOT MAINTENANCE
The conferees agree to provide $2,100,690,000 for ship
depot maintenance, and delete the language recommended by the
Senate establishing a floor on ship depot maintenance funding.
The conferees' recommendation will provide the fleet commanders
flexibility in managing their operation and maintenance funds
during the fiscal year, in recognition that emergencies can
lead to funding shortfalls. However, the conferees strongly
urge the Navy leadership to ensure that all funds provided for
ship maintenance are used solely for that purpose except in the
most unusual of circumstances.
The conferees understand that the Navy will initiate a
pilot program beginning on October 1, 1997 to study whether
combining fleet intermediate facilities with Navy shipyards
might yield economies of scale and allow maintenance managers
to better balance workloads in the Navy shipyards. The
conferees believe it will take at least two years before the
Navy can determine whether this new arrangement is in fact cost
effective and should be made permanent or expanded to other
locations. Therefore, the conferees direct that the pilot
program shall not be expanded until six months after the Navy
reports to the Committees on Appropriations on its findings,
and that such report shall be made on or after April 1, 1999.
Further, the conferees direct that the Navy shall not make any
changes to the workforce in terms of total numbers of employees
and shall not change the name of the Navy activity involved or
make any permanent changes until this pilot study has been
completed and evaluated by the Congress. The conferees are
hopeful that the study will lead to significant improvements in
Navy maintenance functions and look forward to approving
permanent changes throughout the Navy beginning in fiscal year
2000.
1998 WORLD EXPOSITION
The conferees understand that the Navy has requested to
participate as one of the United States Government sponsors of
the U.S. exhibit focused on ocean research and technology at
the 1998 World Exposition in Lisbon, Portugal. Should the
Secretary of the Navy determine that Navy participation is
beneficial to the interests of the service, the conferees agree
that adequate funds should be made available from the Operation
and maintenance account to assist in the creation and operation
of the U.S. national pavilion. Funds shall be used to exhibit
defense capabilities in global oceanography and environmental
security to include interaction among NOAA and the appropriate
entities of the Department of Defense.

the conferees direct the Air Force to treat all 94 B-52s now in
the force structure as planes to be retained for the six-year
period beginning October 1, 1997.
william lehman aviation center
The William Lehman Aviation Center at Florida Memorial
College--a Historically Black College located in Miami,
Florida--is well positioned to assist in the recruitment and
training of minorities in military aviation. The conferees urge
the Department of the Air Force to work closely with the
College in fully utilizing and developing FMC's faculty,
equipment, facilities and expertise.
environmental quality responsibilities
The conferees are concerned of potentially duplicative
activities undertaken by the Air Force Center for Environmental
Excellence (AFCEE) and other Departmental environmental
centers. The conferees direct that the Air Force review this
situation and take prompt action to ensure that the mission and
responsibilities of the AFCEE fully conform to the commitments
made by the Air Force when this center was first established
and that its activities are focused on the mission for which it
was established.

defense finance and accounting service
The Department requested $91,654,000 for activities that
the conferees believe are more properly funded through the
Defense Working Capital Fund. The conferees therefore agree to
a reduction of $21,000,000 and direct DFAS to budget for these
activities within the Defense Working Capital Fund in future
budget submissions.
defense human resources field activity
The conferees agree to provide $138,935,000 for the
Defense Human Resources Field Activity, a reduction of
$2,000,000 from the President's Budget. The conferees direct
that none of this reduction be taken against the Department's
very successful efforts with Operation Mongoose.
defense logistics agency
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) budget included
$42,900,000 for expenses that were in the Defense Working
Capital Fund (DWCF). Of these the conferees believe that
$36,000,000, as identified in House Report 105-206, should have
stayed within the DWCF and directs DLA to budget for these
expenses within the DWCF in the future.
national imagery and mapping agency
The conferees agree to delete House language, but expect
the National Imagery and Mapping Agency (NIMA) to abide by its
commitment and recent Policy Directive 8600R1 that a
qualifications based selection (QBS) process for mapping,
charting and geodesy service contracts will be used and that
NIMA will seek a revision to the Federal Acquisition
Regulations to this effect.
new parent support program
The conferees agree that the New Parent Support Program
complements and works in concert with all programs associated
with violence prevention, child development and family
advocacy. In recent years, funds have been provided for
expansion of this program within all the Services. The
conferees encourage the Department to continue funding this
program at current levels during fiscal year 1998, and to
budget sufficient resources in future budget submissions.
industrial modernization
The conference report includes $50,000,000 only for
projects or programs to assist in the commercial reutilization
and modernization of government industrial complexes no longer
in service. The conferees direct that such funds be used to
support no more than 10 percent of the total project cost, and
be committed only for projects that are determined by the
Secretary (1) to be financially self-sustaining over the long-
term, and (2) to enhance the national defense. The conferees
intend that these funds be used for grants for operational
transition, planning, and training costs.
reserve peacetime support to active duty and civilian activities
The conferees agree to provide $10,000,000 for Reserve
peacetime support to active duty and civilian activities. The
conferees direct the Department of Defense to report to the
Committees on Appropriations on how the fiscal year 1997
funding was allocated by theater, activities or exercises
supported by this program, and the number of reservists by
service who participated under this initiative. This report is
to be provided not later than January 15, 1998.
Civil Military Programs
The conferees recommend a total of $72,000,000 for civil/
military programs for fiscal year 1998 as follows:
[In thousands of dollars]
Youth Challenge program....................................... 48,000
Innovative Readiness Training................................. 20,000
Starbase youth program........................................ 4,000
--------------------------------------------------------------
____________________________________________________
Total................................................... 72,000
on-site inspection agency
The conferees have agreed to reduce funding for the On-
Site Inspection Agency. 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.
travel reengineering
The Department of Defense report on Travel Reengineering
states that the Department spends approximately $3,000,000,000
annually on temporary duty travel. Of this amount, 15 to 30
percent is for management overhead costs. The Department
believes that, through reengineering, they can reduce these
costs by more than half, a savings of over $300,000,000 per
year. The conferees are supportive of these goals, but remain
concerned about how DoD will identify and capture these
savings. The conferees therefore direct the Department to
provide a detailed report, no later than January 1, 1998, of
what savings it expects to result from implementing this
program in Travel Region 6, where those savings will come from
and how DoD intends to capture those savings in its future
budget requests. The conferees also direct the Department to
provide a similar report with respect to full implementation
prior to expanding this program beyond Travel Region 6.
legacy
Of the funds appropriated for the Legacy program, the
Committee directs that $100,000 be utilized to develop a
management plan, in cooperation with the appropriate state and
local entities, to preserve and protect the Revolutionary War
gunboat that was recently discovered on the bottom of Lake
Champlain.
job placement program
The Conferees direct the Department of Defense to provide
at least $6,000,000 from within available funds for the
implementation of a combined job placement and community
outreach services program. This program should market and
coordinate involvement of existing qualified service providers
through the Job Training Partnership Act, facilitate municipal
offering of community outreach services and provide data for
the evaluation of federal job placement programs. This program
should be implemented in communities where military bases have
undergone downsizing.

military personnel information systems
The conferees have agreed to provide $69,000,000 only for
Military Personnel Information Systems and support the
direction in House Report 105-206 on management control and use
of these programs and funds by the Commander, Naval Reserve
Forces. Of the funds identified in the House report, only
$11,500,000 is specifically for the Navy Standard Integrated
Personnel System (NSIPS) and $5,000,000 is for the Joint
Requirements and Integration Office. These funds are in
addition to those already budgeted for these programs. The
remaining funds are for all the related activities described in
the House report, such as continuing the Navy central design
activity consolidation and providing initial outfitting
equipment and infrastructure support for information system
facilities. The conferees direct the Navy and DoD to ensure
that no other military personnel information system initiatives
duplicate NSIPS or the DoD objective personnel system, now
known as the Defense Integrated Military Human Resources System
(DIMHRS). The conferees also direct DoD and the services to
identify and allocate acquisition certified personnel for the
DIMHRS Joint Program Management Office no later than November
1, 1997 and to fully fund and budget for NSIPS and DIMHRS.

maintenance of real property
The conferees recommend $85,000,000 above the budget
request for maintenance of real property for Army National
Guard facilities. The conferees direct that these funds be used
to reduce the growing backlog within the 54 Army National Guard
organizations, not for studies or other administrative
functions.
chemical/biological defense and counter terrorism mission planning
The conferees recommend $10,000,000 only to support
efforts to develop the National Guard's domestic chemical/
biological counter terrorism mission. The conferees reiterate
the directive in the House report and strongly endorse efforts
to accelerate implementation of this important mission. The
conferees expect the National Guard to develop a mission plan
that is fully coordinated with all related plans and programs
of the Office of the Secretary of Defense, the active forces,
and all other Reserve Components so as to leverage existing
capabilities to the maximum extent possible. A mechanism for
review and input from all relevant organizations must be an
integral part of this planning effort. The conferees also
intend that a portion of these funds may be used to conduct
joint, interagency training for federal, state, and local
responders with respect to counter terrorism operations and the
defense against weapons of mass destruction and for testing and
evaluating equipment related to the support of the chemical/
biological defense mission.
home station mobilization
The conferees support the expansion of Home Station
Mobilization during fiscal year 1998, as a way to reduce
mobilization costs and increase the availability of the Reserve
Components. The conferees direct the Department of the Army to
report to the congressional defense committees on how this
program can be expanded in both the Army National Guard and the
Army Reserve not later than January 15, 1998. The report should
also provide a timetable to implement the results of this
review during fiscal year 1998. It should address costs (both
personnel and resources) associated with deploying from home
station versus a mobilization station and recommendations
regarding mission transfers to the Reserve Components.

newmark
The conferees understand that both the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) and the City of San Bernardino believe
that the Newmark and Muscoy plume contamination in San
Bernardino, CA is a direct result of industrial waste from a
World War II depot and maintenance facility (Camp Ono). The
report accompanying the fiscal year 1997 DoD Appropriations Act
highlighted the urgency of this problem and requested prompt
action by the Department of Defense. Because the Department has
not adequately responded to last year's report language
concerning this important issue, the conferees direct the DoD,
within 90 days of enactment of this Act, to provide a report to
the congressional defense committees which fully explains the
Department's current and future plans relating to its role in
the cleanup of the Newmark/Muscoy site.
Overseas Humanitarian, Disaster, and Civic Aid
The conferees agree to provide $47,130,000 for Overseas
Humanitarian, Disaster and Civic Aid. The conferees direct that
none of the reduction should be taken against the Department's
demining efforts. In addition, the conferees expect the
Department of Defense to coordinate its efforts on the
rehabilitation of land mine victims with other U.S. Government
agencies performing similar activities, including any center
devoted to these efforts within the Department of Education.
Former Soviet Union Threat Reduction
The conferees agree to provide $382,200,000, for the
Former Soviet Union Threat Reduction program.
Quality of Life Enhancements, Defense
The conferees agree to provide a total of $360,000,000
for Quality of Life Enhancements, Defense. Given the
substantial backlog of real property maintenance in the areas
of barracks, dormitories and related facilities, the conferees
direct that these funds be applied to workload for such
projects. The conferees further direct the Secretaries of each
of the Military Services to provide the congressional defense
committees with a report on each additional project to be
funded from funds available in this account prior to
solicitation for these projects. This report shall include the
location, estimated cost and projected commencement and
completion dates for each project.

family of medium tactical vehicles
The conferees strongly support the Army's Family of
Medium Tactical Vehicle (FMTV) acquisition strategy. The
conferees endorse the Army's plan to continue procuring FMTV's
from the current producer while qualifying a second source in
fiscal year 1998 and 1999. The conferees agree to provide the
authority in Section 8008 to enter into a multiyear contract
for the FMTV.
commander's tactical terminal/joint tactical terminal
The conferees agree that the amounts appropriated in
fiscal year 1998 and prior year funds be used to re-award the
Joint Tactical Terminal (JTT) contract and to procure only
urgently needed Commander's Tactical Terminals (CTT) in fiscal
year 1998 until the production under a new contract progresses
sufficiently to minimize the fielding gap between these two
terminals.
direct support electrical systems test sets (dsests)
The conferees encourage the Department of Defense to
include DSESTS in the automatic test equipment family.

tomahawk
The budget request includes $51,820,000 to procure 65
Block III Tomahawk missiles in fiscal year 1998. The Navy has
recently informed the conferees that it is working on a
proposal to develop and produce a new variant of this missile,
to be known as the Tactical Tomahawk or the Block IV+. It would
be the Navy intention to forgo the procurement of the 65 Block
III Tomahawks in fiscal year 1998 and use these funds, in part,
for the accelerated development of the new Block IV+. While the
conferees support a program to upgrade the capabilities of the
Tomahawk missile and reducing the missile's unit cost, there
remains many acquisition and funding issues to be resolved
before favorable consideration of the proposed funding
realignment can be granted. The conferees encourage the Navy to
submit a reprogramming action once these issues are resolved.
5/54 gun mount modifications
The conferees agree to provide $13,241,000 for the
procurement of gun safety, shock hardening, and fire support
Ordalts kits for the 5 inch MK-45 and MK-75 gun mounts.
weapons industrial facilities
The conferees agree to provide $30,432,000 for capital
rehabilitation projects at government-owned, contractor
operated plants for Navy missile systems, a reduction of
$4,500,000 from the budget request. The conferees direct that
none of the reduction may be applied to the amounts requested
in the budget for facilities restoration at the Allegheny
Ballistics Laboratory.

cvn refueling overhauls
The conferees agree to provide $1,615,003,000 for complex
overhaul of the U.S.S. Nimitz (CVN-68). Within that amount,
$20,000,000 is only for installation of the ship self-defense
system. The conferees do not agree to bill language proposed by
the House concerning overhaul of CVN-69, which is no longer
necessary since the Navy has committed to include ship self-
defense and cooperative engagement capability as part of the
overhaul of the ship.
ddg-51
The conferees agree to provide $3,411,200,000 for 4
ships. This includes: increases of $720,000,000 for another
ship, $15,233,000 for acceleration of baseline 6 hardware and
software for theater ballistic missile defense, and $14,000,000
only for installation of cooperative engagement capability on 1
ship; and a decrease of $3,800,000 resulting from saving due to
foreign military sale of Aegis equipment. The conferees do not
agree to bill language proposed by the House concerning theater
ballistic missile defense, but direct the Navy to include
cooperative engagement capability and theater ballistic missile
defense capability on a significant number of the DDG-51 ships
to be procured under a 14 ship multiyear contract.
cruiser conversion
The conferees agree to the House report language
endorsing the Navy plan to compete conversion of its 27 Aegis
cruisers. This direction does not supersede current Navy policy
concerning homeport overhauls.
lcac service life extension
The conferees agree to provide $20,000,000 and concur
with the House report language. Since this program will extend
the original capital investment in these craft in lieu of
replacement, the conferees direct the Navy to use Shipbuilding
and Conversion for all elements of the service life extension
program.

Port Security Unit Equipment
The conferees agree to provide $13,500,000 only for port
security unit equipment for the Coast Guard.
Joint U.S./U.K. SSTD Program
The conferees note that the Department of Defense has
commissioned an independent study to review the Surface Ship
Torpedo Defense (SSTD) program. The conferees note that a joint
U.S./U.K. collaborative SSTD program has been under way since
1988 on a 50/50 cost share basis. Until the findings of the
independent study are reported and acted upon, the conferees
direct the Department of Defense to continue the joint U.S./
U.K. collaborative program.
Choke Point Surveillance System
The conferees understand that the Choke Point
Surveillance System (CPSS), in conjunction with forces ashore
and land attack missile capable ships, can provide a real-time
integrated surveillance and targeting system. The conferees
direct the Navy to investigate the possible funding and
incorporation of CPSS into future weapon system plans and to
provide a report to the Appropriations Committees of the House
and Senate prior to submission of the fiscal year 1999 budget
on its recommendations regarding the CPSS program.
Navy Tactical Data System
The conferees agree to provide $25,000,000 for the Navy
Tactical Data System. Within that amount $5,000,000 is only to
install AN/UYQ-70 full production workstations on Aegis
cruisers for execution only by the Navy's Tactical Embedded
Computer Resources office.
IT-21
The Secretary of the Navy shall report to the Committees
on Appropriations that funds allocated for IT-21 implementation
will be spent in accordance with the letter and spirit of the
Federal Acquisition Regulation and meet the requirements for
security, scalability, network management, real time
processing, and reliability as outlined in the Joint Technical
Architecture.
JEDMICS
The Joint Engineering Data Management Information and
Control System (JEDMICS) requires the incorporation of a
security solution in order to prevent unauthorized access, as
required by National Security Policy and federal regulations.
To meet near term and future requirements the security system
must be a Ratings and Maintenance Phase derivative of a product
evaluated at the National Security Agency (NSA) B2 level for
Information Security; meet NSA's Communications Security
requirements for encryption of information from user desktop to
JEDMICS servers; provide true multilevel security at the
network level; and be a product of US origin. Therefore, the
conferees provide $5,000,000 in Other Procurement, Navy to be
used only to procure and integrate into JEDMICS a security
system meeting the above requirements. Due to the critical
nature of JEDMICS, the conferees expect the Department to
execute a contract as soon as practicable.

B-2
The conferees provide $331,000,000 for B-2 procurement
for long-lead activities related to the procurement of
additional B-2s or for upgrades to the existing B-2 force to
improve mission capabilities, deployability, and
maintainability.
The conferees recognize that significant disagreement
exists on the question of continued low-rate production of
additional B-2 stealth bombers. The conferees believe the
question over whether to continue with low-rate B-2 production
is a critical national security matter which must be decided on
the basis of future national security requirements, projected
threats, and affordability. Therefore, the conferees have
included a general provision (Section 8131) establishing a
panel to review and make recommendations on this matter. The
panel shall report to the President and Congress no later than
March 1, 1998 its conclusions and recommendations, including
whether additional funds for the B-2 should be used for
continued low-rate production of the B-2 or for upgrades to
improve deployability, survivability and maintainability.
F-22
The conferees agree with the House direction regarding F-
22 Out Of Production Parts (OPPs). The conferees further agree
that the authority provided in that direction applies only to
the F-22. The conferees direct the military departments to seek
the prior approval of the congressional defense committees to
gain similar authority for other programs.
F-16 modifications
The conferees direct that all new production F-16
aircraft shall include On-Board Oxygen Generating Systems
(OBOGS), including the six aircraft approved in fiscal year
(FY) 1997. The conferees further direct that $1,080,000 within
the F-16 Modifications line shall be available only to make the
necessary production changes to incorporate OBOGS in new
production F-16's.
The conferees support the Air Force's planned four-year
OBOGS installation program for F-16's scheduled to start no
later than fiscal year 2001, and the plan should include field
installation.
air combat training--rangeless (act-r)
kadena interim training system (kits)
The conferees are aware of a new air combat training
capability recently delivered to Kadena Air Base, Okinawa. The
Kadena Interim Training System (KITS) provides a new rangeless
or untethered capability allowing it to be used on aircraft for
air combat training anywhere there is available training
airspace over land or sea. The conferees believe that systems
like KITS can provide improvements to the readiness of our
forward deployed forces. The conferees direct the Air Force to
review and evaluate KITS as it applies to immediate air combat
training requirements throughout the active and reserve
component air forces and to submit a report to the
Appropriations Committees on its procurement and fielding plans
for this system.

global positioning system (gps)
The conferees agree to provide $163,837,000 for the
acquisition of three satellites in fiscal year 1998. The
conferees agree that while the Air Force is procuring GPS
satellites well in advance of their actual need, the total
costs of modifying the present GPS multiyear contract are
greater than the short term saving to be derived from deferring
the acquisition of one GPS satellite. The conferees direct the
Department of the Air Force to submit an acquisition plan to
the Appropriations Committees for the next multiyear
procurement of GPS satellites which more closely aligns the
acquisition of satellites with actual launch need dates. The
Air Force is also directed to submit a report which compares
the total costs of procuring the next block of GPS satellites
under the terms of a multiyear contract with the alternative of
procuring the satellites under a base year contract with
variable quantity options. These reports shall be submitted no
later than March 31, 1998.

secure terminal equipment
The conferees direct that $17,000,000 of the funds
appropriated for Procurement, Defense-wide be made available
only for the procurement of the tactical Secure Terminal
Equipment program.
socom procurement of naval special warfare boats
The recent acquisition strategy initiated by the Special
Operations Command (SOCOM) to procure new Naval Special Warfare
33 foot rib boat systems resulted in an initial procurement of
boat systems that cost about $1,000,000 each, while other
competitive designs being procured by other federal agencies
were reportedly available for less than one-third that amount.
The high initial cost for this procurement prompts the
conferees to encourage SOCOM to conduct a fresh review of the
field of competition on the next round of procurement for large
(30 foot and above) rib boats. The conferees request that SOCOM
keep the Congressional defense committees informed of its plans
for future procurement of this type.
advanced seal delivery system
In response to a request from the Special Operations
Command, the conferees have reduced the Advanced Seal Delivery
System (ASDS) Procurement lines by $36,400,000 and added the
same amount to the Special Operations Tactical Systems
Development project in Title IV to complete the final stage of
ASDS development.
jslist production
The conferees recommend an increase of $10,000,000 to the
Marine Corps, specifically to cover the nonrecurring
facilitation and equipment costs incurred by the three National
Industries for the Severely Handicapped (NISH) affiliated
community rehabilitation centers currently under contract that
form Department of Defense Joint Service Lightweight Integrated
Suits (JSLIST) program industrial base. The Department may vest
the title to the facilities and equipment with these three
contractors.

army high performance computing research
The conferees urge the Army to provide within the defense
research sciences program element, $750,000 to hook up four
historically-black colleges with the Army High Performance
Computing Center in Minneapolis and $500,000 for work stations
at these colleges to optimize the use of the new computing
facilities which were made available through the fiscal year
1997 defense appropriations act.
environmental quality technology
The conferees agree to provide $4,000,000 in the Army
Environmental Quality Technology line only to develop computer-
based land management modeling projects designed to help reduce
time and costs associated with recovery of military training
areas. The conferees expect the U.S. Army Construction
Engineering Research Laboratory to prudently manage this
additional funding to achieve maximum results.
medical technology
volumetrically controlled manufacturing
The conferees have provided $2,500,000 only for the
development of a prototype artificial hip using
multidimensional volumetrically controlled manufacturing of
synthetic materials.
medical advanced technology
collaborative efforts in telemedicine
The conferees recognize the need to continue
establishment of collaborative efforts for design of a
telemedicine trauma/emergency medical services system to
provide necessary diagnostic and treatment interventions and
improve medical outcomes. This effort should include
participation by appropriate DoD agencies and public/
institutions.
prostate diagnostic imaging
The conferees are concerned about the quality and
efficacy of prostate diagnostic imaging, and believe that
prostate cancer detection and treatment would greatly benefit
from more accurate and refined equipment and procedures. The
conferees direct the Army to establish a public/private
research project in coordination with appropriate Government
agencies and private institutions to explore promising
technologies for improvement of prostate diagnostic imaging.
The conferees provide $5,000,000 only for this purpose in the
Medical Advanced Technology line. The conferees expect funding
management to be accomplished by Walter Reed Army Medical
Center.
diagnostic imaging technology
The conferees recognize the excellent work being
conducted at Walter Reed in diagnostic imaging technology and
direct that a Diagnostic Imaging Technology Center of
Excellence be established at Walter Reed Army Hospital and that
the Army be the lead agent in this endeavor. All DoD efforts in
this area should be coordinated with the center. In this vein,
the conferees are extremely encouraged with the potential
benefits of the Volume Angio CAT (VAC) and have provided an
additional $4,000,000 to continue efforts on this promising
imaging technology.
periscopic minimally-invasive surgery
The conferees agree to provide $3,000,000 in the Army
Medical Technology line only to pursue further development of
minimally-invasive surgery techniques. The conferees believe
greater understanding of this cutting-edge technology could
result in significant benefits for US armed forces.
aviation advanced technology
outrider tuav
The conferees agree to provide $45,000,000 to continue
the development, testing and evaluation of the Outrider
tactical unmanned aerial vehicle (TUAV). The conferees direct
the Secretary of the Army submit an acquisition strategy to the
Committees on Appropriations of the House and Senate after the
user-testing and evaluation are completed.
munitions standardization, effectiveness and safety
The conferees are aware of the need to close and clean up
the open pit burning ground currently being used to dispose of
explosive waste at Picatinny Arsenal. The Army has concluded
that additional funds are needed to complete the construction
of the Explosive Waste Incinerator and the conferees agree to
provide $1,100,000 only to finish this project.
mattracks
The conferees urge the Army to begin development testing
of the MATTRACKS track system within available research,
development, test and evaluation funding. The MATTRACKS track
system, which has been control tested by the Army and Marine
Corps with excellent results, appears to have great value for
military uses particularly mine clearing efforts.

aircraft technology
The conferees direct that the Navy Vectored Thrust Ducted
Propeller (VTDP) compound helicopter program focus the current
VTDP technology development program on utilization of the H-60
helicopter as the demonstration platform. The conferees further
direct that from within available funds $200,000 is only for
the Navy's H-60 program office (PMA-299) to manage the VTDP
program and all current and prior year funds appropriated for
this program.
materials, electronics, and computer technology
The conferees agree to provide $3,000,000 for Terfenol-D,
which is used in Navy sonar programs. The conferees direct that
this amount shall be available only to allow the Navy to
achieve further cost reductions in the application of a
magnetostrictive, iron/terbium/dysprosium alloy for new high
performance sonar systems. The conferees further direct that
such effort shall be undertaken through a partnership between
an entity which has made a financial commitment and has
experience in the production of such an alloy and the National
Center for Excellence in Metal Working Technology.
navy aircrew ejection seats
The conferees believe the Navy must place greater
emphasis on aircrew protection and safety, a problem that is of
growing concern with the introduction of lighter-weight crew
members. In fiscal year 1997, the Congress appropriated an
additional $5,000,000 to initiate Phase II of the Navy Aircrew
Escape System (NACES) P3I program. The conferees are
disappointed that this effort has not yet begun, particularly
in light of technological advancements in propulsive
stabilization and sensors that could substantially decrease the
technical risk of resolving the safety shortcomings of the
NACES. These same advances may also be applicable to making
needed safety improvements in the GRU-7 seat flying in the EA-
6B aircraft.
The conferees are aware of Navy plans to restructure the
NACES P3I program. While voicing no objection at this time, the
conferees expect that the restructured effort be conducted in a
manner to include a flight demonstration of the life-saving
benefits of these technologies to existing ejection seats, and
that EMD planning for introduction to the fleet be completed.
The conference agreement includes an additional $6,000,000 only
to accelerate the NACES P3I program to include demonstrated
propulsive stabilization solutions.
non-magnetic, stainless steel advanced double hull warship design
The conferees note the technical challenge that the Navy
faces in the design and manufacture of very large and complex
structural systems that have historically been made of
traditional steel materials but are now incorporating the use
of more advanced materials like non-magnetic steels. The
joining of the advanced double hull concept with non-magnetic
steel offers the potential to reduce acquisition and operation
costs and to improve survivability. The conferees direct the
Navy to study this design on the DD-21 and to explore the
opportunities available with existing Centers of Excellence
that have capability in non-magnetic, stainless steel advanced
double hull warship design.
distributed surveillance system
The conferees agree to provide $43,448,000, of which
$7,800,000 shall be for the testing and packaging of the all-
optical deployable system into an advanced deployable system
(ADS) and at least $7,000,000 shall be for the development of
signal processing and detection algorithms for the ADS.

advanced spacecraft technology
The conferees recommend a Solar Thermionic Orbital
Transfer Vehicle program that balances designing the flight
demonstrator with further development of key technologies
including thermionics, high temperature materials for power and
propulsion, and direct gain propulsion utilizing lightweight
inflatable collectors.
national polar-orbiting operations environmental satellite system
(npoess)
The conferees agree to provide $34,004,000 for the
National Polar-Orbiting Operational Environmental Satellite
System (NPOESS), a decrease of $17,500,000. The conferees
direct the Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Space (DUSD
(Space)) to conduct an architectural review of the defense
space-based meteorological mission area as part of the fiscal
year 1998 program plan. DUSD (Space) is further directed to
submit to the conferees a report detailing its plans to conduct
the review no later than January 1, 1998.
space based infrared system (SBIRS)
The conferees are concerned that the Air Force has
retained the present developer of the SBIRS high component as
the overall system of systems engineer for the entire program.
The conferees believe that the potential exists for conflict of
interest since the SBIRS high component developer will compete
for the SBIRS low component of the program.
While the Air Force has taken certain measures to attempt
to ensure the fairness of the SBIRS low competition, the
conferees believe that it would be appropriate for the Under
Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Technology to review
any Air Force implementation plan formulated to avoid conflicts
of interest in the SBIRS low component competition. The
conferees therefore, direct the USD (A&T) to certify to the
congressional defense committees that the Air Force's ``SBIRS
Organizational Conflict of Interest Mitigation Plan for the
SBIR Low Component Program'' adequately safeguards the
objectivity of the competition for the SBIR Low program. If it
is determined that the Air Force's risk mitigation plan does
not ensure a fair competition, the congressional defense
committees shall be notified and provided such recommendations
as the USD (A&T) determines are necessary to ensure a fair
competition, protect proprietary data, and mitigate potential
SBIR high component program developer bias. The certification
shall be provided no later than March 31, 1998.
The conferees further direct that the Deputy Under
Secretary of Defense for Space, DUSD (Space), review any final
allocation of requirements between the SBIRS high and low
component to determine whether such allocations are justified
on the basis of cost and performance. The conferees direct that
the results of this review be provided to the congressional
defense committees.
evolved expendable launch vehicle (eelv)
The conferees note that the Evolved Expendable Launch
Vehicle (EELV) program is an important step in reducing the
Department of Defense's space launch costs, and that two
industry teams are now competing for a contract to develop an
EELV. The conferees believe that the Air Force should require
that a successful bidder share in the development cost of the
EELV, system. In addition the conferees expect that the Air
Force will recognize the commercial requirements of the EELV
and allow industry to develop system solutions to meet these
needs. Therefore, the conferees agree to the House language
which directs the Air Force to include as significant factors
in the EELV acquisition the degree to which the competitive
proposals include the commercial needs of the U.S. launch
vehicle industry as well as government compensation and cost
recoupment offers from the EELV competitors. The Under
Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Technology is also
directed to provide the congressional defense committees not
later than June 1, 1998, a revised EELV Single Acquisition and
Management Plan (SAMP) that addresses these concerns.
joint air-to-surface standoff missile
joint standoff land attack missile
The conferees have provided a total of $171,021,000 for
the Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile (JASSM)/Joint
Standoff Land Attack Missile (JSLAM) program. Within the JASSM
program element, the conferees direct that the first priority
for the available funds shall be to maintain competition on the
program and to avoid an early decision to select a single
contractor. The funds within this program element are provided
to continue the JASSM program through completion of the
Analysis of Alternatives (AOA).
The conferees have also provided $43,021,000 in a JSLAM
program element. The conferees direct that none of the JSLAM
funds may be obligated until the Secretary of Defense notifies
the congressional defense committees regarding the acquisition
strategy the Defense Department chooses to pursue based on the
results of the JASSM AOA. The conferees direct that the JSLAM
program element funds shall be available for the option
recommended by the Secretary of Defense.
cruise missile defense
The conferees are concerned about the growing threat
posed by advanced air-launched and surface-launched cruise
missiles and urge the Department to pursue an enhanced
capability on the AWACS to detect, track, and identify cruise
missiles. The conferees direct the Air Force to provide a
report on their specific schedule and funding plans for
continued development of this needed capability.
nato jstars
The conferees agree that none of the funds can be
reprogrammed out of the NATO JOINT STARS program element
without the prior approval of the congressional defense
committees. The conferees agree to place no further
restrictions on these funds.
Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Defense-wide

missile feasibility assessments
The conferees note the past success achieved by the
Countermeasures Hands-On Program (CHOP) and Hands-On Threat
Demonstration (HTD) programs in assessing the feasibility of
countermeasures to ballistic missile defense programs and
cruise missile threats to the United States. The conferees
believe a similar program to assess the feasibility of the
development of long-range ballistic missile capabilities by
rogue or other states will be useful in assessing potential
missile threats to the United States. Accordingly, the
conferees provide $2,400,000 to the CHOP program from the
amount provided for National Missile Defense for the initiation
of an effort to demonstrate the feasibility of building and
testing a long-range ballistic missile using open source
literature and materials likely to be available to potential
rogue nations. The effort shall be conducted using the same
approach employed by the CHOP and HTD programs.
Furthermore, of the amount provided for National Missile
Defense Demonstration and Validation (Program Element
0603871C), not less than $150,000 shall be provided to the HTD
Program for completion of cruise missile flight testing.
electronic commerce resource centers (ecrc's)
The conferees direct that the establishment of additional
ECRC sites shall be based on a Department of Defense analysis
of regional needs, with priority given to States not currently
having such a facility already established.
ecrc performance measures
The conferees believe that significant cost saving
benefits will be derived from the government adopting and using
electronic commerce (EC) and electronic data interchange (EDI)
in its business functions. The conferees view Electronic
Commerce Resource Centers as a key element in advancing the
Department's process of transferring its business process from
a paper to electronic medium, especially as this process is
implemented with small and medium size businesses. The
conferees are aware that it has proven difficult to assess how
effective the ECRC concept has been given the many variables
that affect the pace and efficiency at which DoD and the rest
of the federal government convert from paper-based management
functions to EC/EDI. Nevertheless, the conferees believe better
program performance measures must be established for the ECRC
program to help implement a policy of making the ECRC's
essentially self-sustaining over a five-year period, to measure
their comparative value to DoD, and to evaluate methods to
improve EC outreach, education and training, and technical
support to both government and industry. The Department is
directed to work with the ECRC integrators to develop a set of
performance indicators (metrics) for the ECRCs that (1) focus
on their ability to become self-sustaining, (2) prove their
value in the market place, (3) encourage them to support and
aid the government effort to develop FACENET or other forms of
electronic commerce, (4) measure their value to DoD relative to
one another, (5) keep their operating costs low, (6) track the
number of instances in which a customer adopts or expands use
of EC/EDI, and (7) measure customer satisfaction.
atmospheric research
The conferees understand that the Ballistic Missile
Defense Organization has expressed interest in the development
of a pan-oceanic environmental and atmospheric research
laboratory. The conferees would encourage the Defense
Department to allocate funding within BMDO to initiate this
program during fiscal year 1998. The conferees expect to
address additional funding for this program in fiscal year
1999.
materials and electronics technology
The conferees have provided $5,000,000 to be used only
for 3-D multi-chip module (MCM) electronics. Thee funds will be
used to develop and demonstrate key technologies behind a
packaging concept that uses a stacked MCM approach to reduce
interconnect length and increase physical connectivity between
layers of electronics.
support technologies--bmdo
The conferees direct that the $13,000,000 provided for
the Russian-American Observational Satellites (RAMOS) program
shall be available only for the RAMOS program.
vtol uav technology
The conferees agree to provide $8,000,000 to continue the
development of a Vertical Takeoff and Landing (VTOL) unmanned
aerial vehicle (UAV) and to initiate a demonstration program of
future VTOL UAV technology, which should include demonstrating
a stopped rotor, high speed, and reaction driven concept. The
development and acquisition strategy for this demonstration
program should be coordinated with the Navy Science and
Technology Requirements Office.
endurance UAVS
The conferees agree to a $9,000,000 reduction for HAE
support. This reduction shall not be applied against the
development and testing for the two HAE common ground segments.
university affiliated research centers (UARCS)
The conferees believe that a UARC should be defined as a
university receiving more than $10,000,000 in sole source non-
competitive contracts.
institute for defense analyses
The conferees do not agree to place restrictions on funds
for the Institute for Defense Analyses proposed by the House,
since the Defense Department has recently indicated its
willingness to provide classified tactical aircraft IDA studies
to the Appropriations Committees.

operational test and evaluation
The conferees agree to provide $4,000,000 for operational
field assessments. However, the conferees are concerned about
the widely differing views within the Department of Defense on
this issue. To clarify this situation, the conferees direct the
Joint Staff Director for Force Structure, Resources and
Assessment (J-8) to conduct a thorough review of all aspects of
operational field assessments. The review should assess past
and current efforts, potential duplication of existing
assessment capabilities, users of the assessment program, and
the roles of possible participants, to include OT&E, the
Services, NRO, DIA, and others as appropriate.
The report is to be provided to the Committees on
Appropriations by March 30, 1998. The conferees direct that the
funds provided for operational field assessments shall not be
obligated until the required report is provided to Congress.

funding for operations of the Defense Commissary Agency into
the Defense working capital fund rather than including such
funding in a separate account.
National Defense Sealift Fund
The conferees agree to provide $1,074,948,000. This
includes reductions of $131,000,000 for cost adjustments on
previous LMSR conversion ships which can be deferred until
fiscal year 1999 and $478,000 of excess advance procurement
funds for new LMSR construction. The agreement also includes

breast cancer
The conferees have provided a total of $160,000,000 only
for breast cancer research and related treatment. Of that
amount $135,000,000 is for the Army's peer-reviewed research
program. The conferees are very encouraged with the
administration of this program and with the composition of, and
strategy developed by the program's peer review panel and
believe this should be maintained. The remaining $25,000,000 is
to be used to improve access to care for military members and
their families.
telemedicine
The conferees agree that pursuant to the GAO report
``Telemedicine: Federal Strategy is Needed to Guide
Investments'', DoD Health Affairs should contract with an
outside organization, which has previously demonstrated the
ability to assess and plan strategic telehealth initiatives, to
enumerate current telehealth efforts and recommend coordination
activities among the tri-services to prevent duplication and
enhance ``dual use'' telecommunications for health care
delivery, education and related public sector applications.
This assessment should also include the worldwide computer-
based patient record as a necessary component of telehealth.
The resulting report and recommendations shall be provided to
the congressional defense committees by April 1, 1998.
national rehabilitation hospital
The conferees are pleased with the success of the
cooperative effort between the Department of the Army and the
National Rehabilitation Hospital at the Assistive Technology
Research Center. Through its efforts, individuals with
disabilities are benefiting from technology advances previously
limited to the military. The conferees urge that this effort be
continued.
military retiree health care
The conferees are encouraged by the recent decision to
implement the Medicare subvention demonstration, to provide
health care for Medicare-eligible military retirees who are not
currently covered under TRICARE. The conferees believe a
properly tailored subvention demonstration, coupled with
continued assessment of the TRICARE program, is essential to
develop the data needed to evaluate the success, and adequacy,
of military managed care programs. The conferees understand the
Department is focusing its efforts in the first phase of the
Medicare subvention demonstration on rapid implementation.
However, this emphasis may not provide a true picture of the
relative merits of the subvention program, as it may preclude
analysis of a representative sampling of beneficiary
populations (such as those in rural areas, or in regions with a
high density retiree population).
The conferees believe the Department should rapidly move
towards a second phase Medicare subvention demonstration, which
takes into account such factors and will give the Department a
more diverse sampling of data and one more representative of
the actual challenges facing the military heath care delivery
system. The Department is directed to submit a report to the
congressional defense committees not later than March 1, 1998,
on its plans for phase one of the Medicare subvention
demonstration as well as its plans regarding subsequent
demonstration phases.
While encouraged by the advent of the subvention effort,
the conferees note that alternative options, such as providing
the Federal Employees Health Benefits Plan (FEHBP) to Medicare-
eligible military retirees, exist and could serve to further
ameliorate the problems caused by TRICARE ``lock-out.'' In
response to a directive in last year's Defense Appropriations
Act to assess the FEHBP option, the Department indicated there
may be some merit in conducting a limited FEHBP demonstration
program. The conferees believe such an effort, if analyzed in
conjunction with TRICARE and the Medicare subvention options,
would provide the Department of Defense, other affected Federal
agencies, and Congress with a more complete picture of the
potentially available means for providing health care for the
over-65 military beneficiary population. Therefore, the
conferees direct the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with
the Director of the Office of Personnel Management, to submit a
legislative proposal for Congressional consideration next year
to implement a limited FEHBP demonstration program. The program
plan should cover only Medicare-eligible beneficiaries and
include cost estimates that are based on current beneficiary
participation data.
dna data bank
The conferees strongly support Department of Defense
policies that protect information in its ``DNA Data Bank'' for
soldiers, as outlined in its April 2, 1996 policy memorandum.
Because this pool of genetic data is one of the largest in the
country, the conferees are concerned about the possibility for
health, life, and disability insurers to use this data for
inappropriate and discriminator purposes. The conferees direct
the Department of Defense to continue to promote policies that
provide the utmost protection of the genetic information in the
``Armed Forces Repository of Specimen Samples for the
Identification of Remains.''

gulf states initiative
The conferees agree with the direction contained in House
report 105-206 and provide $16,166,000 for the Gulf States
Initiative (GSI). The conferees have funded this program in the
Drug Interdiction account, but direct that management of this
program, with the exception of the Regional Counter-drug
Training Academy, be transferred to the Joint Military
Intelligence Program (JMIP). The conferees direct the
Coordinator for Drug Enforcement Policy and Support to provide
$13,135,000 to the JMIP to manage and operate the GSI in fiscal
year 1998.
civil air patrol
The conferees agree to provide $2,800,000 above the
budget request for the Civil Air Patrol, but have provided
those funds in the Operation and Maintenance Title.
hidta crack house demolition
The conferees agree to provide $2,300,000 as recommended
by the House for Crack House Demolition and related missions.
The conferees are concerned about the physical protection of
National Guard personnel during demolition missions and expect
the Guard and local law enforcement agencies to arrange for
protection prior to the execution of these missions. The
conferees are also concerned about the status of the properties
to be demolished. The conferees understand that the National
Guard intends to require legal certification from the lead
public agency that titles to the structures to be demolished
are controlled by the public agency, that hazardous materials
are not present and that the appropriate law enforcement agency
has certified the sites as drug distribution centers.
Office of the Inspector General
The conferees agree to provide $138,380,000 for the
Office of the Inspector General. Of this amount, $136,580,000
shall be for operation and maintenance activities and
$1,800,000 shall be for procurement.

significant increases over the budget request to meet
shortfalls in flying hour and spare parts funding, depot
maintenance, and other readiness requirements of both the
Active and Reserve components. Section 8043 provides offsets
for these critical readiness programs through reductions, on a
pro-rata basis, to each activity funded in titles III and IV of
the conference agreement.
The conferees included a new general provision (Section
8048) which offsets funding provided for National Missile
Defense (NMD). In title IV, the conference agreement includes
an additional $474,000,000 over the President's request for
NMD, responding to a request from the Secretary of Defense
after significant shortfalls were discovered in programmed
funding. Section 8048 offsets the additional funds provided in
the conference agreement for NMD by a like reduction, on a pro-
rata basis, to each activity funded in title IV.
The conferees included a general provision (Section 8056)
which amends Senate language regarding the mitigation of
environmental impact of DoD activities on Indian lands.

8097) to provide funding for the refurbishment of the USS
Intrepid.
The conferees included a general provision (Section 8105)
which amends House language reducing funding provided to the
Operation and Maintenance accounts of the Army, Navy, and Air
Force to compensate for excess inventory.
The conferees included a general provision (Section 8106)
which amends House language concerning savings from changes to
law proposed by the House National Security Committee and the
Senate Armed Services Committees on warranties in contracts for

to a reduction of $75,000,000 rather than $50,000,000 as
proposed by the House.
The conferees included a general provision (Section 8109)
which amends Senate language concerning a pilot project within
the Maritime Technology Program to make technical corrections.
The conferees included a general provision (Section 8114)
which amends House language restricting the use of Research and
Development funding for the procurement of end-items.
The conferees included a general provision (Section 8117)
which prohibits the Department from entering into or renewing a
contract with an entity unless the contractor has submitted an
annual report to the Department of Labor concerning the

which amends Senate language requiring a report on all
anticipated costs to the United States for the admission of the
Czech Republic, Poland and Hungary to NATO.
The conferees included a general provision (Section 8123)
which amends Senate language concerning reciprocal trade
agreements and the conditions under which the Secretary of
Defense may issue waivers to the Buy America Act.

production of the B-2 bomber.
The conferees included a general provision (Section 8132)
which amends House language restricting the use of funds for
the U.S. military deployment in Bosnia after June 30, 1998. The
amended provision denies the use of funds in the Defense
Appropriations Act, 1998, for the deployment of U.S. armed
forces in the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina after June 30,
1998, unless the President, after consultation with the
bipartisan leadership of the Senate and House of
Representatives, transmits to the Congress not later than May
15, 1998 a certification that the continued presence of United
States armed forces is required in order to meet the national
