                     classified program adjustments

    The Committee recommends adjustments to certain classified 
programs, as explained in the classified annex to the 
Committee's report.

                   Compliance With 302(b) Allocation

    The Appropriations Committee conformed fully to the budget 
resolution for defense spending in its 302(b) allocation. This 
allocation divided the budget authority and outlays among the 
subcommittees with jurisdiction over discretionary spending. 
The Defense Subcommittee has the greatest share of defense 
spending. In this recommended bill, the Appropriations 
Committee has remained within the tight constraints of its 
302(b) allocation for defense.

    Pay raise.--The President's fiscal year 2000 budget 
requests a 4.4-percent military pay raise. The Committee 
supports a more robust military pay increase, and recommends a 
4.8-percent pay raise for military personnel, the largest 
increase in basic military pay in nearly a generation. This 
enhanced pay raise will keep military compensation attractive, 
help ensure that military pay is competitive with private 
sector wages, and enable the services to continue to attract 
and retain a highly qualified volunteer force. This pay raise 
is effective January 1, 2000.
    Pay table reform.--The Committee supports pay table reform 
using targeted pay raises to reward performance and promotion 
over longevity. Pay table reform will result in a second pay 
raise during fiscal year 2000, up to an additional 5.5-percent, 
for individuals in critical grades. Pay table reform and the 
associated pay raise is effective July 1, 2000.
    Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps (JROTC).--The 
Committee recognizes the value and importance of the Junior 
ROTC program for our nation's high school students. The 
Committee endorses the JROTC mission statement: ``. . . to 
instill in students in United States secondary educational 
institutions the value of citizenship, service to the United 
States, personal responsibility, and a sense of 
accomplishment.''
    Although the Congress has authorized up to 3,500 JROTC 
units, the Department has established and funded approximately 
2,600 units. The Committee directs the Department to increase 
funding for the JROTC program to the fully authorized level. To 
achieve this goal in fiscal year 2000, the Committee has 
provided $6,900,000 in the Service reserve personnel 
appropriations, and $20,250,000 in the Service active operation 
and maintenance appropriations.
    Further, the Committee directs the Department to provide a 
comprehensive report by March 1, 2000, on the status of the 
JROTC program, including a plan to increase the program to 
3,500 units.

                   operation and maintenance overview

    Operation and maintenance appropriations provide the 
resources required by the U.S. Armed Forces, and supporting 
defense agencies, to prepare for and conduct combat operations, 
and other peace time missions. These funds are used to purchase 
fuel and spare parts for training operations, pay supporting 
civilian personnel, and purchase supplies, equipment, and 
service contracts for the repair of weapons and facilities.

                          combating terrorism

    Within the operation and maintenance appropriations, the 
Committee has provided significant resources for the 
antiterrorism activities of the Department. The Committee 
supports the unified management and focus of these funds, as 
described in Senate Report 106-50, the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2000. The Committee expects 
the Secretary of Defense to report to the congressional defense 
committees describing the use of the following amounts to 
achieve combating terrorism objectives. The following funding 
is available in fiscal year 2000:

Army....................................................    $497,800,000
Navy....................................................     284,100,000
Marine Corps............................................      11,900,000
Air Force...............................................     151,500,000
Defense-wide............................................     317,400,000
Army Reserve............................................      22,400,000
Navy Reserve............................................       5,300,000
Air Force Reserve.......................................      21,600,000
Army National Guard.....................................      41,300,000
Air National Guard......................................         100,000
DOD Inspector General...................................         500,000
                    --------------------------------------------------------
                    ____________________________________________________
      Total.............................................   1,353,900,000

                               RAID TEAMS

    The Committee supports the establishment of 17 Rapid 
Assessment and Initial Detection (RAID) teams pursuant to the 
action provided in the Senate defense authorization bill. 
Accordingly, the Committee provided funding for an additional 
198 Army National Guard and 66 Air National Guard full-time 
(AGR) personnel to facilitate this mission. Operation and 
maintenance funding of $79,635,000 for RAID teams is provided 
within the amounts described for combating terrorism above.

                 Quality of Life Enhancements, Defense

    The Committee recognizes that the readiness of the all 
volunteer force derives not only from realistic combat training 
and serviceable equipment and weapons, but also from the 
quality of life which military personnel enjoy from livable 
quarters and related facilities. To improve the living 
conditions of service men and women, the Committee 
traditionally provided funding in either the barracks 
renovation initiative, or more recently, in the Quality of Life 
Enhancements, Defense account. For fiscal year 2000, the 
Department of Defense has followed Committee practice and 
requested Quality of Life Enhancements, Defense funds. The 
Department has, however, in an effort to circumvent the 
discretionary budget outlay limits established in the Budget 
Enforcement Act, expanded the scope and purpose of this 
account. Rather than providing Quality of Life Enhancement 
funds for unspecified real property maintenance projects, the 
Committee has appropriated and added funds in the appropriate 
service accounts.

                       Unutilized Plant Capacity

    The Committee remains concerned with the costs of 
industrial preparedness, and the overhead rates at Department 
of Defense arsenals. The budget justification materials of the 
Department of Defense submitted to Congress for each fiscal 
year after fiscal year 2000 shall within the OP-32 exhibit 
include a descriptive budget line which describes the funding 
for unutilized plant capacity.

                              A-76 Studies

    The Committee is aware of the Department of Defense's 
intention to compete the jobs of federal employees under OMB 
Circular A-76. The Committee is concerned that projected 
savings through A-76 planned competitions do not match actual 
savings. The Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to 
submit a report to the Senate and House Appropriations 
Subcommittees on Defense within 60 days of enactment on the use 
of OMB A-76 by the Department to contract in work. The report 
shall list the instances since 1995, when work performed by 
contractors has been converted to performance by civilian 
employees of the Department. For each instance of contracting 
in, the report shall include the types of work, the locations 
where the work was performed, the name of the contractor that 
was performing the work, the cost of contractor performance at 
the time the work was contracted in, and the current cost of 
performance by civilian employees of the Department. The report 
shall include a discussion of legal, regulatory, or budgetary 
obstacles to the appropriate use of contracting in to make the 
operations of the Department more efficient. The report shall 
also include recommendations for maximizing the possibility of 
effective public-private competition for work that has been 
contracted out.
    Not later than 90 days after the date on which the 
Secretary submits the annual report, the Comptroller General 
shall submit to the Senate and House Appropriations 
Subcommittee on Defense the Comptroller General's views on 
whether the Department has complied with the requirements for 
the report.

                   Pentagon Renovation Transfer Fund

    The Committee has consolidated the funding for the 
Pentagon's ongoing renovation from the service and defense wide 
operation and maintenance accounts into a separate 
appropriation in Title II. The Committee directs the Department 
to utilize this fund for future budget request submissions to 
the Congress, with a delineation of contributions by department 
and organization.

                    Operation and Maintenance, Army

Appropriations, 1999.................................... $17,185,623,000
Budget estimate, 2000...................................  18,610,994,000
Committee recommendation................................  19,161,852,000

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of 
$19,161,852,000. This is $550,858,000 above the budget 
estimate.

                    SUMMARY OF COMMITTEE ADJUSTMENTS

    Allocations of the Committee adjustments are made for each 
operation and maintenance, Army funding category identified in 
the Department's O-1 submission. A table showing the budget 
estimate, Committee adjustment, and recommended funding level 
by O-1 category is provided below. Proposed transfers of funds 
within budget activity funding categories in excess of 
$15,000,000 are subject to standard reprogramming procedures.

                         COMMITTEE ADJUSTMENTS

    Program reductions.--The Committee supports the Army 
efforts to adapt force structure, doctrine and technology to 
better meet future security threats. The Committee has provided 
funding for the Joint Contingency Force experiment, the Aim XXI 
program, and assorted communications upgrades. The Committee 
recommends several adjustments to programs with unjustified 
program growth such as post production software support, 
headquarters increases, service-wide communications, the AWE 
and administration. Funding for the Pentagon renovation has 
been transferred to the Pentagon renovation transfer fund.
    Real Property Maintenance.--Despite the determined efforts 
of the Committee to fund the training operations which the Army 
conducts to achieve measurable readiness standards, the service 
has repeatedly failed to execute the plans presented to, and 
approved by Congress. The Army explains this migration of 
training resources to other activities as ``fact-of-life'' 
adjustments required to balance funding levels across the 
Operation and Maintenance appropriation. To protect the 
training subactivity groups associated with operational 
readiness, the Committee has supported fully and added 
$97,000,000 to the Army's real property maintenance and base 
operations plan. The Committee directs that real property 
maintenance funds recommended in the bill shall provide the 
following program in fiscal year 2000:

      Total.............................................   1,516,228,000

    Air Battle Captain.--The Committee has included $1,250,000 
for the Air Battle Captain helicopter flight training program. 
Of this amount, $250,000 shall be directed to a national 
recruitment campaign specifically targeted to the program. The 
Army is directed to provide a detailed recruitment plan to the 
Committee for its review within sixty days of enactment of this 
Act. The Committee intends that the balance of this funding 
shall be expended on activities directly associated with flight 
training prescribed by the Air Battle Captain program 
curriculum for helicopter training. In addition, the Committee 
directs the Army to execute its pending agreement for 
continuation of the program.
    Ravenna Army Ammunition Plant.--The Committee understands 
that the Army has responsibility for the environmental cleanup 
of approximately 9,000 acres of the Ravenna Army Ammunition 
Plant. The Committee urges the Army to develop a comprehensive 
plan and an associated timeline for the remediation of its 
portion of the facility.
    Marion Engineering Depot.--The Committee urges the Corps of 
Engineers to review the level of contaminants recently found at 
this site and recommends that the Corps consider this facility 
a priority for future funding.
    Fort Des Moines Historic Memorial.--The Committee 
recommends an increase of $2,000,000 for the repair and 
refurbishment of the grounds and facilities of Fort Des Moines 
to support the establishment of the historic OCS museum and 
memorial.
    Joint Assessment Neurological Examination Equipment Upgrade 
for combat medical specialist.--The Committee recommends an 
additional $1,500,000 for the Army Medical Center and School to 
continue the joint assessment neurological evaluation equipment 
upgrade for training and sustainment proficiency of the combat 
medical specialist.
    Range Safe Technology Demonstration.--The Committee urges 
the Army to explore emerging technologies that treat low level 
radioactive waste on site. Treatment on site would preclude 
hauling contaminated material to approved and specifically 
designated landfills. The cost of tracking, transport and 
storage of radioactive waste to these landfills is extremely 
costly and adds considerable expense to the overall cost of the 
remediation. These new technologies offer promise that they 
would result in significant savings.
    Fort Knox MOUT Facility.--The Committee supports the full 
funding by the Army of the base operations support for the MOUT 
facility at Fort Knox.
    Firefighting Equipment Conveyance.--The Committee directs 
the Secretary of the Army to consider conveying the 
firefighting equipment at the Military Ocean Terminal, Bayonne 
(MOTBY) to the Bayonne Local Redevelopment Authority and the 
City of Bayonne.
    Automatic identification technologies.--The extensive 
logistics and manufacturing capabilities within the Army can be 
substantially improved through a relatively small investment in 
expanding the application of automatic identification 
technologies. Available commercial off-the-shelf systems will 
readily improve inventory management, asset tracking and 
distribution, as well as enhance in-process overhaul and 
production activities. The Committee recommends that Rock 
Island Arsenal be included as a priority facility for the 
Department's Total Asset Visibility Implementation Plan, which 
establishes the AIT road map for tracking assets from 
production and overhaul through warehousing and distribution, 
and other similar programs.

                         COMMITTEE ADJUSTMENTS

    Program reductions.--The Committee is concerned with the 
growing difficulties experienced by the Navy in sustaining non-
deployed readiness. Past shortfalls in non-deployed readiness, 
and recruiting programs have now degraded the readiness of 
deploying units. The Committee has recommended program 
increases for weapons maintenance, real property maintenance, 
ship depot maintenance and repair, and the Shipyard Apprentice 
program. Programs such as Air Systems Support and Fleet 
Ballistic Missile programs were decreased due to consistent 
under execution of funds. Funding for the Pentagon renovation 
has been transferred to the Pentagon renovation transfer fund.
    Barrow landfill.--Of the funds provided in this account, 
the Committee directs the Department of the Navy to provide 
$3,000,000 for costs associated with the closure of the Barrow 
landfill. The Department of Defense sited, developed, and 
managed this landfill for 31 years, with the Naval Arctic 
Research Laboratory located at Barrow as the primary user of 
the facility. The Committee urges the Department of Defense to 
continue to work with the North Slope Borough in closing the 
landfill and determining continuing funding responsibilities. 
These funds should be provided to the appropriate local 
government entity.
    Shipyard Apprenticeship Program.--The Committee recommends 
an increase of $12,000,000 for the Shipyard Apprenticeship 
Program at the public shipyards. The downsizing over the past 
decade at our Navy shipyards has increased the average age of 
the shipyard worker to nearly 45 years, and limited the ability 
of Navy managers to hire new apprentices. The Committee 
believes this matter requires sustained attention. Funds have 
been added to augment working capital funds and other resources 
to ensure that this program is not forced to compete with depot 
maintenance requirements. The Committee expects these funds 
shall only be used to support apprentices, and that the funding 
provided shall be in addition to any other resources requested 
in the budget for work force revitalization. The Committee 
directs the Navy to report to the Appropriations Committees by 
April 1, 2000, on the status of this program, by shipyard.
    Shipyard infrastructure repairs.--From within the funds 
provided for the maintenance of real property, $9,900,000 may 
be used for the repair of the Charleston Naval Shipyard, and 
$9,900,000 may be used for the conversion of the former 
Philadelphia Naval Shipyard.
    Propeller Maintenance and Overhaul.--The Committee directs 
the Navy to establish a pilot program for the purpose of 
verifying cost savings that can be achieved through the use of 
a west coast propeller overhaul facility. The Committee further 
directs that the selected facility provide innovative repair 
processes and comprehensive training programs proven to enhance 
propeller system reliability and enhance mission readiness at 
reduced costs. The selected facility should be an FAA 
authorized repair station capable of servicing applicable 
models of the propeller system used on the target fleet of 
Western Pacific based C-130 and P-3 aircraft.
    The Committee further directs the Navy to provide the 
Committee with a cost benefit analysis that includes 
reliability improvement data resulting from this study of a 
west coast pilot facility.
    Sale of Navy Drydock No. 9 (AFDM-3).--The lease covering 
Navy Drydock No. 9 (AFDM-3) shall be deemed to include all 
clauses authorized by section 2667(b) of title 10, U.S. Code. 
The Secretary of the Navy is directed to sell the drydock to 
the lessee at its fair market value, as provided by that law, 
upon receipt of a written notice from the lessee of its intent 
to exercise its option to purchase the leased property. For 
purposes of this provision, the term ``fair market value'' 
means the value of the drydock in its present condition less 
the estimated cost of scrapping the vessel.
    Public Service Initiative.--The United States must ensure 
close cooperation and understanding between the military and 
civil components of society. Fewer people, including leaders, 
perform military service now than in our recent history. As a 
pilot program, the Navy should work with the legislative branch 
center for public service to include military service in its 
public service programs.

                         committee adjustments

    Program reductions.--The Committee observes that the budget 
request for Marine Corps expeditionary forces readiness is 
below the levels appropriated in fiscal year 1999. Past funding 
shortfalls in Navy and Marine Corps non-deployed readiness 
activities have begun to degrade the readiness of deploying 
units. To mitigate this funding shortfall, the Committee has 
recommended program increases for initial issue, real property 
maintenance, distance learning and Marine-option NROTC. Funding 
for the Pentagon renovation has been transferred to the 
Pentagon renovation transfer fund.

                         committee adjustments

    Program reductions.--The Committee supports the Air Force 
efforts to adapt force structure to the Air Expeditionary Force 
concept, and remedy spare parts shortfalls. Air Force operation 
and maintenance programs are generally growing at a rate 
greater than inflation. The budget request sought general 
funding increases to some programs that had not realized 
planned savings in prior years. The Committee recommends 
several adjustments to programs with unjustified program growth 
such as service-wide communications, and contract costs. Other 
programs such as Space Control Systems, Launch Vehicles, and 
Arms Control have experienced under execution of funds. Funding 
for the Pentagon renovation has been transferred to the 
Pentagon renovation transfer fund.
    B-52 attrition reserve aircraft.--Despite the clear 
direction of the Committee, which was provided in Senate Report 
105-200, the Air Force has decided to reduce the total aircraft 
inventory of B-52s during fiscal year 2000. The Committee has 
provided sufficient operation and maintenance funding to 
support a force structure of 94 aircraft. No later than June 1, 
2000, the Secretary of the Air Force shall report to the 
Committee any intention or proposal to reduce the B-52s from 
the level directed. Additionally, the Committee directs the Air 
Force to treat all 94 B-52s now in the force structure as 
aircraft to be retained for the six year period beginning 
October 1, 1999.
    Myrtle Beach Air Force Base.--The Committee urges the Air 
Force to initiate environmental restoration at this site to 
correct long-standing environmental concerns.
    Radioactive iodine experimentation.--The Committee strongly 
supports the progress that the Air Force has made in resolving 
the claim filed on behalf of the Inupiat Eskimos who were 
subjected to radioactive iodine 131 experimentation by the Air 
Force in the mid-1950's. The Committee directs the Secretary of 
the Air Force to report to the congressional defense committees 
on the resolution of this matter no later than October 15, 
1999.
    Air Force Plant No. 3.--The Committee encourages the 
Secretary of the Air Force to transfer by deed to the City of 
Tulsa, Oklahoma, all of the property known as Air Force Plant 
No. 3. The Committee strongly urges the Air Force to work 
cooperatively with the City of Tulsa to mitigate the remaining 
environmental contamination on this property as expeditiously 
as possible. The Committee directs the Secretary of the Air 
Force to report on the status of the title transfer no later 
than December 15, 1999.
    Global Combat Support System-Air Force (GCSS-AF).--The 
Committee is pleased with the Air Force's progress on the 
modernization and integration of critical combat support 
systems under the Global Combat Support System-Air Force (GCSS-
AF) contract. This activity is important to future combat 
readiness and is a major step toward interoperability between 
the combat support systems of all services. The key to the 
success of this effort is the underlying foundation of system 
architecture and integration. The many benefits to be gained 
from continued modernization and integration work under the 
GCSS-AF contract are clear, particularly in terms of reduced 
long-term maintenance costs for outdated legacy systems.
    Tinker and Altus Air Force Base repairs.--The Committee 
recommends an increase of $25,000,000 to real property 
maintenance to provide for the repair of damages resulting from 
tornadoes in May of 1999. The Air Force shall fund fully all 
military personnel and flying hour costs related to the 
restoration of these bases.
    Air Force Technical Applications Center.--Preventing the 
proliferation of nuclear weapons is one of the most important 
issues facing the U.S. today. Multiple nuclear tests detonated 
by India and Pakistan emphasize the need for a continued strong 
nuclear monitoring capability. The Committee has funded fully 
the budget request for Air Force Technical Applications 
Center's (AFTAC) and strongly encourages AFTAC to make meeting 
its operational nuclear test monitoring responsibilities a 
first priority within these available funds.

                Operation and Maintenance, Defense-Wide

                         COMMITTEE ADJUSTMENTS

    Defense Threat Reduction and Treaty Compliance Agency.--The 
Committee has reduced funding by $15,500,000 as a result of 
anticipated delays in treaty implementation and scheduled 
inspections. If additional funding is required to meet emergent 
requirements stemming from valid treaty obligations, the 
Committee expects the Department of Defense to submit a 
reprogramming request subject to normal, prior approval 
reprogramming procedures.
    Procurement Technical Assistance Program [PTAP].--The 
Committee commends the Department for fully funding the 
Procurement Technical Assistance Program and subsequently 
provides full funding for this worthwhile initiative. PTAP 
shall continue to be designated a special interest program, 
with written approval by the Appropriations Committees required 
prior to any below-threshold reprogramming from this line.
    Pine Bluff Arsenal Sustainment Training and Technical 
Assistance Program.--The Committee directs the Department of 
Defense to establish a Sustainment Training and Technical 
Assistance Program at Pine Bluff Arsenal, AR for chemical and 
biological defense equipment in support of the Department of 
Justice equipment grant program.
    Special Education Support.--The Committee recommends an 
increase of $5,000,000 above the budget request to increase 
assistance to those schools in the United States with high 
concentrations of special needs children, particularly those 
which are considered overseas assignments. The Committee 
understands that the amounts currently provided by the Federal 
government are insufficient to provide fully for the 
requirements of those schools that have large special needs 
populations of military dependents.

                         other defense programs

    Legacy Program.--The Committee has provided $15,000,000 for 
continuation of the Legacy Program and directs the Department 
to provide adequate funding for this program in fiscal year 
2001. From within these extra funds, the Committee expects the 
Department to proceed with the preparation and execution of 
conservation plans to raise and preserve the submarine Hunley.
    Additionally, the Committee supports a major expansion and 
renovation of the U.S.S. Constitution Museum and its archive 
and artifact storage area planned as part of the museum's 
preparation for the new millennium. This project will 
dramatically improve both the preservation and public access 
for more than 10,000 items form the U.S.S. Constitution's 
history.
    From within the funds provided, the Department should 
proceed with the recovery of artifacts from the Confederate 
Civil War ship, C.S.S. Alabama.
    Outsourcing and Privatization.--The Secretary of Defense 
shall submit to the defense committees, by March 15, 2000, a 
report that includes the following elements: (a) the size of 
the private sector workforce performing contracts for the 
Department of Defense; (b) a cost analysis of contracts awarded 
pursuant to OMB Circular A-76 in the last five years that 
compares the cost of the federal employee contract at the time 
of competition to the actual cost of the contract; (c) the 
savings that are assumed in the fiscal year 2000 budget 
submissions of each of the armed services due to outsourcing 
and privatization activities; (d) an analysis of the amount and 
value of contracts that were awarded to private contractors 
through OMB Circular A-76 versus other mechanisms; and (e) the 
dates for renewal for contracts of more than $2,000,000 that 
were awarded pursuant to OMB Circular A-76.
    Streamlining Acquisition of Environmentally Preferable 
Products.--Pollution prevention activities by the Department of 
Defense continue to prove financially viable with both short 
and long term financial savings. An important element of 
pollution prevention is the purchase of environmentally 
preferable products (EPPs), as defined by Executive Order 
13101. Accordingly, the Committee urges the Department of 
Defense to provide adequate resources for efforts toward 
implementation of the Executive Order. Further, the Department 
should examine the feasibility of providing resources for 
interagency activities for the development of environmental 
preferability standards by appropriate Federal agencies or 
nongovernmental organizations.

                        CIVIL-MILITARY PROGRAMS

    The Committee continues to support the Department's civil-
military programs and provides a total of $88,503,000 for 
fiscal year 2000 as follows:

                        [In thousands of dollars]

      Total...................................................    88,394

    The Committee directs the Department to report to the 
Committee on Appropriations on the status of the obligation of 
these funds not later than March 15, 2000.
    Innovative Readiness Training.--The Department has 
conducted civil-military innovative readiness training (IRT) 
throughout the United States since the early 1990's. Through 
the use of Active and Reserve component personnel, this program 
provides community support in the areas of health care, 
engineering, and infrastructure. These combat support and 
service support units gain valuable hands-on mission essential 
training. The Committee continues to strongly support this 
realistic training. The Committee believes that the Department 
should expand the scope of the readiness initiatives to include 
native American groups when appropriate and compatible with 
mission requirements.

    HMMWV Contract Maintenance.--The Committee urges the Army 
Reserve to consider contract maintenance for their light 
tactical vehicle fleet.
    Modern Burner Unit.--The Committee understands that 
improving Army field feeding equipment is a major priority of 
the U.S. Army. The Modern Burner Unit (MBU) was developed to 
replace the gasoline burning M2 currently used in all Army 
field-feeding applications. The MBU eliminates the pressurized 
fuel system of the M2 and uses electronically controlled 
components to decrease the production of hazardous emissions. 
Fielding of the MBU directly supports the quality of life, 
safety and the combat effectiveness of the soldier. The 
Committee encourages the Army Reserve to identify the necessary 
resources to continue the fielding of this system to key units.

    National Missile Defense Planning Cell.--During fiscal year 
2000, the Department of Defense will conduct a Deployment 
Readiness Review to assess the feasibility of deploying an 
operational national missile defense (NMD) system to defend the 
United States against a limited strategic ballistic missile 
threat. The National Guard will play an integral role in 
manning and maintaining this ``one-of-a-kind'' system. The 
Committee strongly encourages the National Guard Bureau to 
create a dedicated NMD planning cell to facilitate coordination 
and integration between the Ballistic Missile Defense NMD Joint 
Program Office, Corps of Engineers, Department of the Army, 
Guard Bureau and the lead system integrator.
    The Committee recommends the identification and selection 
of National Guard personnel to actively participate in planning 
and development of doctrine regarding the NMD system. The 
Committee believes that manning for this system will require 
innovative doctrine and planning development to meet the 
challenges in recruiting, training, and educating the personnel 
that will man this national asset. Additional funding provided 
in this section for full-time Guard manning will accommodate 
this requirement for a planning cell. The Committee directs the 
Secretary of the Army to report to the congressional defense 
subcommittees on the status of the National Guard assuming this 
mission, creation of a planning cell, and development of 
associated NMD doctrine and concept of operations. This report 
should be provided not later than April 15, 2000.
    Real property maintenance, Army National Guard.--During the 
past several years, the Committee provided an increase for in-
house recurring maintenance and day-to-day repairs, as well as 
in-house and contract projects required to maintain, repair, 
and adapt facility infrastructure to meet mission needs. The 
Committee intends for these funds to be used to reduce the 
growing Army National Guard real property maintenance project 
backlog within the 54 Army Guard organizations, not for studies 
or other administrative functions. The funds provided under 
this heading are in addition to any other funds appropriated to 
the Army for real property maintenance on behalf of the Army 
National Guard. The Committee directs the Chief of the National 
Guard Bureau provide to the Committee of Appropriations a 
report detailing how these funds will be allocated not later 
than March 15, 2000.
    Distance learning initiative.--The Committee provides an 
increase of $45,000,000 in the Army National Guard ``Operation 
and maintenance'' appropriation and $45,000,000 in the ``Other 
procurement, Army'' appropriation for distance learning and 
information management requirements. The Committee continues to 
support the regional distance learning initiative and creation 
of a distance learning network to reduce costs of training 
soldiers, as well as to track personnel and equipment 
inventories. The program is now fielded nationwide to include 
the territories.
    The Committee urges the National Guard Bureau to examine 
partnering opportunities with universities and state 
governments that would facilitate community involvement in this 
network and enhance its long term viability.
    The Committee directs that funding for the distance 
learning network be spent only for expansion and continuation 
of the program. The Committee further directs the National 
Guard Bureau provide to the congressional defense committees a 
report on how the Department intends to allocate funding for 
the distance learning program in fiscal year 2000 not later 
than February 15, 2000.
    Project Management System Pilot Project.--The Committee 
understands that the National Guard Bureau has begun to 
implement a Project Management System Pilot Program which will 
provide a fully integrated, scheduling and financial project 
management system. This system, which uses commercially 
developed off-the-shelf technology, will present essential 
information to decision makers in a timely manner. The 
Committee urges the Department of Defense to review it 
applicability for use throughout the Department.
    BASE PACE.--The Committee believes that in the future the 
most cost-effective means of military education will be 
distributive learning, with basic computer skills providing the 
foundation. The Committee is aware that the Distributive 
Technologies Innovation Center of the U.S. Army National Guard 
Training and Technology Battle Lab has developed the BASE PACE 
pilot program to provide distributive learning opportunities to 
improve military occupational speciality skills. The Committee 
urges the Department to continue this important program.
    Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT).--The Committee 
understands that the National Guard has initiated a pilot 
program to protect intra-state computer networks. The five 
states that currently have teams have expressed support for 
this new innovative concept. The Committee encourages the 
National Guard Bureau to assess the requirement and feasibility 
of expanding this initiative.
    Net Trooper Program.--With the tremendous growth of 
distance learning initiatives throughout the Department of 
Defense, the Committee believes that all military personnel 
need the appropriate tools and training to maximize these 
opportunities. The Net Trooper program provides an advanced 
computer and Internet learning tool that appears to have great 
potential in meeting these goals. The Committee urges the 
National Guard Bureau to consider this software for 
incorporation into its distance learning program.
    First responder missions.--The Committee encourages the 
National Guard Bureau to give consideration to the Washington 
Army National Guard at Camp Murray for development and 
enhancement of courseware development and commercially 
available off-the-shelf (COTS) management system software and 
hardware to meet unfunded Army National Guard functional 
training requirements for ``first responder'' missions such as 
weapons of mass destruction, information operations and the 
Rapid Assessment and Initial Detection (RAID) teams.

    C-130 operations.--The Committee recognizes the increased 
demand placed on C-130 aircraft operations within the Air 
National Guard and has provided $5,000,000 to address increased 
operations, maintenance, and supports costs. Such funds are 
intended to support both the C-130 aircraft assigned to 
operational squadrons and for full coverage of the cost of 
operating and maintaining those stand alone aircraft currently 
utilized by selected States.
    Air National Guard Civil Engineer Force Structure.--The 
Committee understands that the Air Force is reassessing its 
total civil engineer requirements in light of emerging 
Expeditionary Aerospace Force (EAF) and weapons of mass 
destruction initiatives. Currently, the Air Guard civil 
engineering force is programmed to lose many key specialities 
to include engineering, electrical power production, heating/
ventilation/air conditioning, pavements, structural, utilities, 
liquid fuels, environmental, operations, fire protection and 
readiness. The Air Guard's capabilities to support the total 
force contingency and wartime taskings will be drastically 
reduced by these projected manpower reductions.
    The Committee directs the Secretary of the Air Force to 
report to the congressional defense committees on the Air Force 
plan to realign the total civil engineer force structure and 
its future ability to support wartime requirements in this area 
no later than November 15, 1999.
    Fort Belknap Training Range.--The Committee provides an 
additional $2,000,000 for studies required for the Fort Belknap 
Training Range.
    Defense Systems Evaluation (DSE).--Of the funds provided 
under this heading, the Committee directs that $2,500,000 be 
used to continue DSE service to the White Sands Missile Range.
    C\4\ Systems Support.--The Committee has learned that the 
recent conversion of two active Air Force bases to C-17 
training and daily operations revealed deficiencies in 
communications infrastructure, which provided significant 
impediment to the bases' efficient conversion. The Committee is 
also aware that the Air National Guard unit, which will receive 
the first Air National Guard C-17 aircraft, also suffers from 
communications obsolescence. To ensure that this Air Guard unit 
and bed-down location meet the increased technical requirements 
of Command, Control, Communication and Computers (C\4\), the 
Air Force is directed to review the capabilities of this unit 
and provide a detailed report to the Committee by 1 November 
1999. The report shall include the Air Force's plans to ensure 
that the required base infrastructure improvements are 
completed at this location prior to the arrival of the first C-
17 aircraft.

             OVERSEAS CONTINGENCY OPERATIONS TRANSFER FUND

Appropriations, 1999....................................    $439,400,000
Budget estimate, 2000...................................   2,387,600,000
Committee recommendation................................   2,087,600,000

    Contingency Operations.--During 1997, the Department of 
Defense established a Readiness panel as part of the 
Quadrennial Defense Review. The Readiness panel considered 
several methods for funding the cost of peacekeeping 
operations, having recognized that the administration's policy 
of engaging in indefinite peacekeeping operations was causing a 
migration of funds from modernization to operation and 
maintenance activities. The Secretary of Defense chose not to 
implement any of the funding alternatives presented by the 
Readiness panel.
    The Committee is concerned that after two years from the 
inception of the QDR, the Department of Defense has failed to 
establish a consistent policy for the equitable funding of 
contingency operations across the Armed Services. For example, 
by classifying standard operation and maintenance activities at 
bases within the continental U.S. (such as real property 
maintenance, base operations, civilian personnel costs, range 
upgrades, and weapons and vehicle maintenance), as incremental 
costs, the Army has funded these activities as contingency 
operations. The costs of training preparation for Bosnia ground 
units, moreover, are no longer incremental, as these units have 
been identified long in advance of deployment. The Air Force, 
in fiscal year 1998, expended contingency costs in nearly every 
subactivity group within the O&M appropriation. The Navy 
routinely funds the costs of contingencies and deployments from 
within available O&M funding. Further confusing the 
Department's funding of contingencies is the financing of 
second destination transportation for Bosnia from Defense 
Working Capital Fund cash resources.
    In light of this misuse of the Overseas Contingency 
Operations Transfer Fund, and the reduction in personnel 
supporting operations in Bosnia subsequent to the submission of 
the budget estimate, the request is reduced by $300,000,000.
    The Department, moreover, was provided additional 
supplemental contingency funding for fiscal year 1999 as 
described in H.R. 1141, as enacted.
    The Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller) shall continue 
to notify the defense subcommittees 30 days in advance if the 
Department expects to exceed the total allotment for a given 
contingency and to provide quarterly reports to the defense 
subcommittees. These reports shall include amounts transferred 
and the requirements funded, in the same format as provided in 
supplemental and reprogramming requests.

Budget estimate, 2000...................................       7,621,000
Committee recommendation................................       7,621,000

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $7,621,000 for 
activities of the Court of Military Appeals for fiscal year 
2000.

                       Environmental Restoration

Total Appropriations, 1999..............................  $1,268,431,000
Budget estimate, 2000...................................   1,263,554,000
Committee recommendation................................   1,303,554,000

    The Committee recommends a total amount for environmental 
restoration of $1,303,554,000. This is $40,000,000 above the 
budget estimate.
    Environmental Contracting.--The Committee remains concerned 
with the degree that the Department of Defense is using large 
Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts, such 
as the Remedial Action Contract (RAC) and the Total 
Environmental Restoration Contract (TERC), to execute their 
overall environmental restoration program. Some of these 
contract awards have dollar values of more than $300,000,000, 
encompass a broad geographic area and can remain in effect over 
a ten-year period.
    For example, the Navy executed 35 percent of its 
environmental remediation program in fiscal year 1998 using RAC 
contracts. This contracting strategy was originally envisioned 
for clean up requirements that were high priority, complex and 
time sensitive. However, IDIQ contracts have become the 
preferred contractual vehicle for environmental work throughout 
the Department. While the Committee recognizes the need for 
flexibility in environmental contracting, the use of these 
large, undefinitized contracts often precludes local contractor 
and small business involvement in DOD's clean up work.
    Accordingly, the Committee directs that not more than 25 
percent of funding obligated to the Department of Defense for 
environmental remediation shall be executed through indefinite 
delivery/indefinite quantity contracts with a total contract 
amount of $130,000,000 or higher. Further, the Committee 
directs that the Secretary of Defense report to the 
congressional defense committees not later than January 15, 
2000, on their use of IDIQ contracts during fiscal year 1999, 
and that this information be provided quarterly throughout 
fiscal year 2000.
    Compliance with defense acquisition regulations.--For 
environmental restoration projects subject to the terms of 
section 52.2222 of the Defense Federal acquisition regulations 
[DFAR], the Committee directs that any awardee of contracts for 
such projects exceeding $1,000,000 shall submit a plan for 
compliance with section 52.2222 of the DFAR to the appropriate 
contracting office not later than 90 days after contract award.
    Notification of environmental contract awards.--The 
Committee remains concerned that the Department failed to fully 
accomplish the Committee's intent regarding adequate 
notification of the projects funded by this account. To ensure 
the Department complies with this direction, each military 
service shall notify interested State and local authorities and 
interested Members of Congress upon release of draft 
solicitations for contracts anticipated to exceed $5,000,000. 
The Committee directs that this requirement shall apply to all 
increments of indefinite delivery indefinite quantity-type 
contracts which meet this threshold.
    The Committee has provided the following funding for each 
service:

                    Environmental Restoration, Army

    UH-60 Helicopters.--The Committee recommends an addition of 
$121,000,000 for the purchase of 6 UH-60L and 5 UH-60Q model 
helicopters. The Committee directs the six UH-60L's shall be 
made available to the Army National Guard.
    AH-64 Apache Longbow.--The Committee believes the Army 
decision to reduce the Apache Longbow inventory objective is 
short sighted and unaffordable. The new plan to adjust the 
Apache Longbow inventory to 530 helicopters and 500 radars from 
the plan of 748 helicopters and 227 radars has several 
implications which the Army did not fund. First, the remaining 
A-model Apaches will now require a service life extension 
program and will force the Army to maintain unique support 
equipment, spares, and training--all currently unfunded in Army 
budget plans. Further, the Army has not fully funded the 
additional fire control radars and engine modifications. 
Finally, this unaffordable Army decision ignores the doctrinal 
plan to rely on a single fire control radar-equipped Apache to 
support multiple Longbow-capable Apaches.
    The Committee believes the previous Apache Longbow 
acquisition strategy was more appropriate to the Army's 
requirements, operating doctrine and budget resources. The 
Committee directs the Army to develop an affordable, fully 
budgeted plan for the Apache Longbow program. The Committee 
directs the Secretary of the Army to submit a report on this 
plan with the fiscal year 2001 Department of Defense budget 
request.
    Kiowa Warrior.--The Committee has provided an increase of 
$2,600,000 for Crew Station Mission Equipment Trainers (CSMET). 
CSMET supports Army Aviation requirements for the new, higher 
fidelity Kiowa Warrior Crew Trainer (KWCT) of the future. The 
Committee understands that this change will integrate CSMET 
equipment with the KWCT program that will include sensor and 
gunnery training.

out-year development and procurement funds; deletion of excess 
funds based on program delays or slow execution; addition of 
funds to reflect congressional priorities and to rectify 
shortfalls in the budget request for activities; and 
implementation of recommendations reported in the Senate bill 
authorizing programs and activities of the Department of

    Bradley base sustainment.--The Committee recommends an 
increase of $3,000,000 to the Bradley base sustainment line for 
the procurement of Bradley test sets, and $4,000,000 for the 
Vehicular Intercommunications System (VIS) AN/VIC-3, cordless 
communication system.
    Bradley fighting vehicles.--The Army's budget request 
includes $33,000,000 for the procurement of armor tiles for 
Bradley fighting vehicles.
    Howitzer, medium self-propelled fully-tracked 155 mm M-
109A6 (MOD).--The Committee recommends an increase of 
$20,000,000 to modify additional Paladin equipment necessary to 
complete fielding of 21 National Guard battalions and 
$1,000,000 for the Vehicular Intercommunications System (VIS) 
AN/VIC-3, cordless communication system on the Paladin.
    Heavy assault bridge (HAB).--The Committee recommends an 
increase of $14,000,000 for the synchronization of the HAB 
program with the M-1A2 SEP Abrams upgrade, and $1,500,000 for 
Wolverine Combat Mobility Vehicle test sets.
    M-1 Abrams tank modification.--The Committee recommends an 
increase of $2,000,000 for the Vehicular Intercommunications 
System (VIS) AN/VIC-3, cordless communication system.
    Items less than $5,000,000 (WOCV-WTCV).--The Committee 
recommends an increase of $15,000,000 to procure Product 
Improved Combat Vehicle Crewman's Headsets (PICVC), which have 
greater electro-magnetic interference (EMI) protection.
    M-88A2 improved recovery vehicle.--The M-88A2 IRV is now 
being fielded to Army armor units to alleviate significant 
safety problems in recovery operations of M-1 tanks. The 
Committee is concerned that the Army has not funded procurement 
of the M-88A2 IRV in fiscal year 2000. The Army should continue 
this important program at an economic production rate until the 
service has achieved its inventory requirement for tank 
recovery vehicles.

    Tactical trailers/dolly sets.--The Committee recommends an 
additional $6,000,000 in tactical trailers/dolly sets only for 
the self-load/off-load trailer [SLOT].
    Secure mobile antijam reliable tactical terminal (SMART-
T).--According to a recent review by the Director, Operational 
Test and Evaluation, operational effectiveness of the SMART-T 
has not been demonstrated. According to this review, ``the 
SMART-T is not operationally suitable due to numerous training, 
soldier efficiency, RAM [reliability, availability, and 
maintainability], and integrated support logistics issues.'' 
The Report recommended that production of the SMART-T should be 
``specifically limited to the first option (91) terminals'' 
while additional testing and assessment proceeds. The Army has 
already acquired in excess of this number of terminals. 
Therefore, the Committee recommends a reduction of $10,000,000.
    Warfighter Information Network.--The Committee recommends 
an increase of $40,000,000 to procure additional AN/TTC-56 
single shelter switches with associated support assemblages and 
network management capability.
    Secure terminal equipment.--The Committee recommends an 
additional $12,500,000 in the Information System Security 
Program [ISSP], of which $6,000,000 is for the Tactical Secure 
Terminal Equipment Program, $5,000,000 is for the MX5T Secure 
Information System, and $1,500,000 is for the Portable 
Uninterruptable Universal Power Supply System.
    Multi-Purpose Range Targetry Electronics.--To ensure timely 
and efficient execution of all phases of the Multi-Purpose 
Range Complex-Heavy at Camp Shelby, on which construction will 
begin in fiscal year 2000, the Committee recommends an 
additional $5,100,000 in the Worldwide Technical Control 
Improvement Program (WWTCIP) to procure the Targetry 
electronics to be placed underground during the early phase of 
the project.
    Night Vision Equipment.--The Committee recommends an 
additional $50,000,000 for night vision equipment. The 
Committee agrees that the night vision equipment account shall 
be executed by the Army with priority interest given to the 
following items: AN/PAS-13 Thermal Weapon Sights; AN/PEQ-2A 
Target Pointer Illuminator Aiming Lights (TPIAL); Tactical 
Surveillance Night Vision Devices; AN/PAC-4C Infrared Aiming 
Lights; AN/AVS-5 Driver's Vision Enhancer (DVE); AN/PVS-4 and 
AN/TVS-5 night vision devices; AN/PVS-7D night vision devices; 
25 mm generation III image intensifier tubes.
    Modification of in-service equipment.--The Committee is 
concerned about reports that the Firefinder radar system has 
suffered from high false alarm rates in urban environments 
during recent deployments. The Committee recommends an increase 
of $8,100,000 to modify in-service systems and approve system 
reliability.
    High mobility multipurpose wheeled vehicle.--The Committee 
has recommended the procurement of up-armored High Mobility 
Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicles (HMMWV) at a level consistent 
with the President's budget request. The HMMWV, including its 
up-armored variant, fulfills a number of critical mission 
requirements and has demonstrated its capabilities in 
peacekeeping operations in Bosnia. The Committee is aware that 
the potential for extended military operations in the former 
Yugoslavia could require additional up-armored HMMWVs beyond 
those requested in the President's budget. The Army shall 
provide to the Committee a report outlining potential needs for 
additional up-armored HMMWVs by December 1, 2000.
    Striker-Command and Control System.--The Committee 
recommends an additional $10,000,000 in the Striker-Command and 
Control System, of which $5,000,000 is for the Striker HMMWV 
based targeting platform for Combat Observing Lazer Teams 
(COLT), and $5,000,000 is for the procurement of test program 
sets for the Bradley Striker Program.
    LOGTECH.--The Committee recommends an additional $5,000,000 
in LOGTECH for Army Automatic Identification Technology (AIT) 
Integration efforts for maintenance processes and automated 
information systems.
    Ribbon bridge.--New Multi-Role Bridge Companies (MRBC) are 
being established in the U.S. Army and the U.S. Army National 
Guard. The Guard is a key element in the total Army Engineer 
bridge force. The MRBC is the doctrinal response to the needed 
restructure of the current bridge companies to safeguard 
bridging stocks, improve the training of bridge builders, and 
retain bridging capabilities required by maneuver commanders. 
The Committee recommends $13,500,000 to procure the key 
equipment items that are required to create one MRBC.
    Lightweight Maintenance Enclosure (LME).--The Committee 
recommends an additional $3,200,000 in the Lightweight 
Maintenance Enclosure (LME) program.
    Water purification systems.--The Committee recommends an 
additional $3,000,000 for additional 3,000 gallon per hour 
tactical water purification systems (TWPS).
    Combat support medical.--The Committee recommends an 
additional $4,000,000 in the Combat Support Medical line to 
acquire additional Life Support for Trauma and Transport 
(LSTAT) units in order to achieve Initial Operational 
Capability (IOC) of the system.
    Combat training centers support.--The Committee recommends 
an increase of $7,000,000 to establish a deployable force-on-
force instrumentation range system (DFIRST) pilot program. The 
Committee directs the Secretary of the Army to provide a report 
on the results of the pilot program and the potential future 
use of DFIRST as a training enhancement for reserve component 
training requirements. Additionally, the Committee recommends 
an increase of $3,000,000 to complete instrumentation for the 
JRTC MOUT site at Fort Polk, Louisiana.
    Training devices, nonsystem.--The Committee recommends an 
additional $3,500,000 for the Improved Moving Target Simulator 
Upgrade Program.
    Modification of in-service equipment (OPA-3).--The 
Committee recommends an additional $8,000,000 for the Army's 
Commercial Construction Equipment (CCE) Service Life Extension 
Program (SLEP).
    REMBASS II.--The Committee recommends that the Army examine 
the option applying additional funds to the Remotely Monitored 
Battlefield Sensor System (REMBASS) II, an all-weather 
battlefield intelligence support system that is about one-third 
the weight and one-quarter the cost of its predecessor, the 
Improved REMBASS (IREMBASS).

    C-135.--The Committee understands that there are a number 
of commercial engines which could enhance the capability, 
improve the performance, and lower the maintenance costs of 
707-based aircraft. The Committee also understands that the 
existing strong market for such commercial engines may permit 
DOD to lease these engines at favorable rates and with little 
or no lease termination liability. Accelerated reengining 
through leasing will allow DOD to realize substantial 
operations and maintenance cost savings on 707 platforms. 
Excepting Rivet Joint aircraft, the Committee believes any 
further re-engining of C-135 aircraft should be completed 
through a competitive program to lease commercial engines.
    The Committee directs that the Department of Defense 
initiate a pilot program to re-engine the Joint Stars fleet 
with leased commercial engines. The Committee directs that the 
Deputy Secretary of Defense provide a report detailing DoD's 
schedule and budget for re-engining JSTARS aircraft with the 
fiscal year 2001 budget submission.
    Theater airborne warning sensor [TAWS].--At the direction 
of the Congress, the Department of Defense reevaluated the need 
for airborne infrared detection and tracking of theater 
ballistic missiles. Based on this analysis, DOD concluded that 
the airborne warning and control system [AWACS] Eagle and Rivet 
Joint TAWS efforts should be brought to an orderly termination 
with the results transferred to the Airborne Laser [ABL] 
Program, a system which inherently provides this detection 
capability.
    The Committee endorses the Department of Defense conclusion 
on airborne infrared system requirements. Since DOD completed 
its assessment, development efforts have proceeded successfully 
on a new generation of ballistic missile warning sensors. Every 
Aegis ship can now detect and track theater ballistic missiles, 
providing a more accurate estimate of the launch point and 
impact point than TAWS. Further, the availability of upgraded 
Patriot advanced capability 3 [PAC-3] missile radars and THAAD 
ground-based radars [GBR] have significantly advanced the 
Pentagon's ground-based missile tracking capability. Thus, the 
Committee endorses bringing the TAWS Program to an orderly 
conclusion and transferring any lessons learned to the ABL 
Program.
    C-17.--The Committee is aware of the recent unsolicited 
proposal to provide the Air Force with 60 additional C-17 
aircraft. This proposal offers a cost-effective way for the Air 
Force to meet the continually growing airlift demands of 
today's mobile force. The Committee further recognizes that 
current C-17 inventory and basing plans will not meet the 
timelines and lift requirements of Pacific theater airlift 
missions. Already, we are learning from the Kosovo missions 
that the airlift demand can quickly outstrip supply when we 
suddenly are required to build the capability to operate from 
an austere airfield.
    With these thoughts in mind, the Committee has provided new 
multi-year procurement authority to allow the Air Force to 
enter into negotiations on the procurement of sixty additional 
C-17's. The Committee understands that timely Air Force 
decisions on the sharing of current C-17 production incentive 
funds will ensure that this new C-17 multi-year procurement 
option and favorable price are available to the Department of 
Defense.
    F-16.--The Committee has provided an increase of 
$50,000,000 to the budget request to permit the Department of 
Defense to purchase 12 F-16 aircraft in fiscal year 2000. The 
Committee previously recognized the need to modernize Guard and 
Reserve units which are operating F-16 aircraft which are 
reaching the end of their service life. The Committee believes 
the requirements of these units must be met and supports the 
Air Force strategy to purchase new aircraft and then make 
reallocations of the the F-16 inventory. To enable the cost 
effective procurement of additional F-16's, the Committee has 
provided $24,000,000 and multi-year procurement authority to 
permit the purchase of 12 F-16's in fiscal year 2001.
    Passenger Safety Modifications.--The Committee has provided 
$40,000,000 for passenger safety modifications. The Committee 
directs that these funds shall be available to the Air Force to 
satisfy the requirements to modify aircraft with improved 
passenger safety systems and to comply with Global Air Traffic 
Management (GATM) standards. These funds are also available for 
the addition of Terrain Awareness and Warning System (TAWS) to 
KC-10, C-135, C-20, and T-43 aircraft.
    On Board Oxygen Generating System (OBOGS).--The Committee 
is concerned by the Air Force's lack of progress on the OBOGS 
program. The Congress provided specific direction regarding 
OBOGS in the reports accompanying the Department of Defense 
Appropriations Act, 1999. The Committee directs the Secretary 
of the Air Force to provide a report no later than October 15, 
1999, outlining the specific steps the Air Force has taken to 
comply with the Congress' directive language. The report should 
further address the costs and potential cost savings of OBOGS 
installations in appropriate aircraft, across the fleet or at 
selected installations.
    The Committee is also disturbed that the Department of 
Defense has not considered all potential sources of OBOGS 
equipment, particularly qualified small businesses. The 
Committee directs that OBOGS purchases and installations be 
made based on full and open competitive procurements which 
allow all potential vendors a fair and equal opportunity to 
provide OBOGS equipment.

    Sensor Fuzed Weapon (SFW).--The Committee is encouraged by 
the Air Force's progress on the SFW Pre-Planned Product 
Improvement (P\3\I) program. The Air Force has stated that the 
minimum sustaining rate for sensor fuzed weapon is 300 per 
year. The Committee is satisfied with the Air Force's plan to 
use fiscal year 1999 appropriations to procure baseline SFWs at 
a minimum sustaining rate of 300 rounds per year. In order to 
make up the shortfall in P\3\I procurement and to keep the 
program on track, the Committee provides $8,000,000 for the 
procurement of P\3\I SFW in fiscal year 2000.

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $7,198,627,000 
for the ``Other procurement, Air Force'' account for fiscal 
year 2000. The recommendation is an increase of $113,450,000 
above the budget request.
    This appropriation provides for the procurement of weapons 
systems and equipment other than aircraft and missiles. 
Included are munitions, other weapons, the leasing of vehicles, 
electronic and telecommunications systems for command and

                   COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED ADJUSTMENTS

    Committee Recommendations.--The following table lists 
program recommendations proposed by the Committee. These 
adjustments reflect the following committee actions: 
elimination of funds requested for programs which are lower 
priority, duplicative or not supported by firm requirements or 
out-year development and procurement funds; deletion of excess 
funds based on program delays or slow execution; addition of 
funds to reflect congressional priorities and to rectify 
shortfalls in the budget request for activities; and 
implementation of recommendations reported in the Senate bill 
authorizing programs and activities of the Department of 
Defense [DOD] for fiscal year 2000.

    ASVS.--The Committee recommends that the Department examine 
expediting the transition to ``dry'' digital methods for the 
collection data during aircraft and aircraft weapons separation 
testing and other high-speed events. Currently, the Services 
use 16 mm and 35 mm ``wet'' film cameras for such test 
recording, which is costly, time-consuming, and environmentally 
damaging. A ``dry'' system, such as the Airborne Separation 
Video System (ASVS), would afford a high-frame rate digital, 
color imaging system with higher resolution, a smaller remote 
sensor, no environmental waste-product, and potential for 
tremendous savings.

                  National Guard and Reserve Equipment

Appropriations, 1999....................................    $352,000,000
Budget estimate, 2000...................................................
Committee recommendation................................     300,000,000

    The Committee recommends a funding level of $300,000,000 
for National Guard and Reserve dedicated equipment. This 
recommendation is $300,000,000 above the budget request.
    The appropriation for this account includes direction for 
each Reserve or National Guard component commander to prepare 
and submit to the congressional defense committees a detailed 
assessment of that component's modernization priorities.
    The Committee maintains that the Reserves and National 
Guard should exercise control of funds provided for their 
modernization in this account. The separate submission of these 
assessments, directly from the components chiefs to the 
committees will ensure that the Reserve and National Guard 
priorities are addressed in the allocation of this 
appropriation.

    The following tables detail the Committee recommendations 
in comparison to the President's budget request:

                       committee recommendations

    The Committee has reflected a number of its funding 
adjustments in a table format. The Committee directs that the 
funding increases outlined in the tables which follow shall be 
provided only for the specific purposes outlined in the table 
entry.

           Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation, Army

Appropriations, 1999....................................  $5,031,788,000
Budget estimate, 2000...................................   4,426,194,000
Committee recommendation................................   4,905,294,000

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $4,905,294,000 
for the Army's research, development, test, and evaluation 
programs, an increase of $479,100,000 to the budget request. 
The budget activities and programs funded under this 
appropriation are discussed below.
    Motar Anti-Personnel/Anti-Material (MPAM).--The Committee 
is aware that there may be a more effective round of 60 mm 
mortar ammunition than the current M720. Accordingly, the 
Committee directs the Secretary of the Army to conduct a 
comparative side-by-side test and evaluation program to 
determine the lethality and effectiveness of MAPAM mortar 
ammunition when compared to the M270 ammunition. Further, M270 
shall be tested concurrently with MAPAM ammunition to establish 
a current, complete and accurate evaluation baseline. The 
Committee recommends $7,200,000 for the express purpose of (i) 
conducting the side-by-side test program, (ii) conducting an 
independent evaluation of the test results, and (iii) type 
classification of the MAPAM ammunition.
    Medical Technology.--The Committee supports advanced soft 
tissue modeling research for application in the development of 
advanced technology surgical simulation applications. The 
Committee encourages the department to establish a public/
private research project in coordination with the National 
Library of Medicine (NLM) to explore advanced soft tissue 
modeling capability for use in developing a surgical simulation 
technology application, and encourages the Department to make 
available up to $8,500,000 from within available funds for this 
effort.
    Medical Advanced Technology.--The Committee has supported 
promising advanced computer aided tomography (CAT) technology 
development efforts. This technology, known as the Volume 
AngioCAT, could integrate several technologies into a single 
device capable of rapid whole body internal injury assessment. 
The Committee directs the Surgeon General of the Army to 
conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the Volume AngioCAT 
development program, specifically addressing the program's 
medical value and application to the unique needs of military 
medicine, and provide a report to the Committee by March 1, 
2000.
    Management Headquarters.--The Committee recommends 
$28,191,000 for Management Headquarters, of which $23,000,000 
is only to support the prototyping, demonstration, validation, 
and maturation of technology through the Akamai project. Within 
these funds, $4,000,000 is for hyperspectral diagnostic 
imaging, $3,000,000 is for the remote access to medical 
specialists program, $3,000,000 is for target services for 
special needs military children, and $1,000,000 is to establish 
a technology transfer program to other federal government 
entities that leverage existing DoD investment and reuse 
successful telehealth prototypes.
    Electroplating Technologies.--The Committee recognizes the 
need to develop lead/tin-free solders in the many microcircuits 
in the Department's equipment. Incorporating lead/tin-free 
solders into the Department's microcircuits will reduce 
environmental hazards such as human central nervous system 
debilitation, lower manufacturing costs because of averted 
regulatory compliance costs, and improve performance. The 
Committee encourages the Army to allocate funds for the 
development of lead/tin-free electroplating technologies to 
meet this purpose.
    Lightweight 155mm Towed Howitzer.--The Committee is 
concerned that the Lightweight 155mm Towed Howitzer program has 
been suffering from contractor and program deficiencies, which 
has led to a 2-year delay in the program. The program has 
failed to fully utilize the expertise of Army arsenals in the 
development and design of the howitzer. Considering the long 
history of the arsenals in advancing howitzer technological 
development as well as refining production techniques, it is 
important that they be actively involved in the program, 
especially during the crucial EMD/prototype phase to ensure 
that efficient production techniques are designed at the 
earliest possible stage of the program. In addition, the 
arsenals constitute an important resource in providing spare 
parts and special development items for howitzer forces in time 
of war and national emergencies.
    The Committee believes the Army and the Marine Corps should 
develop a plan to include the Rock Island Arsenal in all 
aspects of howitzer development, design, and production, 
including recoil mechanisms, carriages and gun tubes for the 
Lightweight 155mm Towed Howitzer Program and all other Army/
Marine Corps future towed artillery programs. The Committee 
expects the Army and the Marine Corps to issue a report to the 
Senate and House Appropriations Subcommittees on Defense no 
later than sixty days after the enactment of this bill 
outlining the plan and the steps it has taken to implement it.

                   COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED ADJUSTMENTS

    Committee Recommendations.--The following table lists 
program recommendations proposed by the Committee. These 
adjustments reflect the following committee actions: 
elimination of funds requested for programs which are lower 
priority, duplicative or not supported by firm requirements or 
out-year development and procurement funds; deletion of excess 
funds based on program delays or slow execution; addition of 
funds to reflect congressional priorities and to rectify 
shortfalls in the budget request for activities; and 
implementation of recommendations reported in the Senate bill 
authorizing programs and activities of the Department of 
Defense [DOD] for fiscal year 2000.

           Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation, Navy

Appropriations, 1999....................................  $8,636,649,000
Budget estimate, 2000...................................   7,984,016,000
Committee recommendation................................   8,448,816,000

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $8,448,816,000 
for the Navy's research, development, test, and evaluation 
programs, an increase of $464,800,000 to the budget request.
    The budget activities and programs funded under this 
appropriation are discussed below.
    UESA Signal Processing Support.--The Committee recommends 
$5,000,000 in addition to the budget request to upgrade 
infrastructure at the test site for the UESA program to improve 
signal processing capabilities in support of this and other 
Navy test programs.
    Vectored Thrust Ducted Propeller (VTDP).-- The Committee 
recommends an additional $6,000,000 for the flight 
demonstration of the Vectored Thrust Ducted Propeller (VTDP) 
Compound Helicopter technology. The Secretary of the Navy's 
Report to Congress specified objectives for this program which 
include the original Congressionally directed goal of 
validating the multi-mission speed, range and life cycle cost 
benefits of this technology, and a potential new requirement 
for Airborne Mine Counter Measures (AMCM) tow testing. The 
Committee understands that the addition of the AMCM tow testing 
and NAVAIR flight clearance requirements have increased the 
amount of funding required by $12,300,000 and that 
approximately $6,000,000 of this is required in fiscal year 
2000. The Committee directs the Navy to fund the outyear 
portion of this shortfall in the fiscal year 2001 budget.
    National Technology Alliance (NTA).--The Committee is aware 
that the efforts of the National Technology Alliance (NTA), 
(consisting of the National Media Laboratory (NML), the 
National Information Display Laboratory (NIDL) and the National 
Center for Applied Technology) have saved the Intelligence 
Community and others in the defense industry hundreds of 
millions of dollars, far in excess of the monies invested in 
the NTA program. The laboratories have been successful in 
providing solutions applicable to the intelligence community, 
DOD, and civil agencies, due largely to the NTA's ability to 
work across agency and departmental boundaries on common 
technological problems and technical standards. Therefore, the 
Committee recommends $10,000,000 to reinforce the cross-agency, 
cross-program sharing of advanced commercial and consumer 
information technology solutions for the end users in the 
Intelligence community and DOD.
    Stainless Steel Advanced Double Hull.--The Committee 
recommends an additional $5,000,000 for an analytical and 
experimental development program on the Stainless Steel 
Advanced Double Hull concept.

                   COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED ADJUSTMENTS

    Committee Recommendations.--The following table lists 
program recommendations proposed by the Committee. These 
adjustments reflect the following committee actions: 
elimination of funds requested for programs which are lower 
priority, duplicative or not supported by firm requirements or 
out-year development and procurement funds; deletion of excess 
funds based on program delays or slow execution; addition of 
funds to reflect congressional priorities and to rectify 
shortfalls in the budget request for activities; and 
implementation of recommendations reported in the Senate bill 
authorizing programs and activities of the Department of 
Defense [DOD] for fiscal year 2000.

         Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation, Air Force

Appropriations, 1999.................................... $13,758,811,000
Budget estimate, 2000...................................  13,077,829,000
Committee recommendation................................  13,489,909,000

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of 
$13,489,909,000 for the Air Force's research, development, 
test, and evaluation programs, an increase of $412,080,000 to 
the budget request.
    The budget activities and programs funded under this 
appropriation are discussed below.

                   COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED ADJUSTMENTS

    Human Effectiveness and Applied Research.--Solid state 
oxygen separation using planar electrolytic ceramic membranes 
can supply pure oxygen at point of use. In addition to being 
easier to deploy and more compact, it is less expensive than 
traditional oxygen generation. The Committee recommends an 
increase of $6,000,000 to begin development of defense 
applications of this technology.
    Theater Battle Management (TBM) C\4\I.--The Committee is 
aware of an Air Force requirement to continue the initiative to 
provide an automated system to support delivery of air support 
to ground commanders. The system provides the Joint Force Air 
Component Commander (JFACC) the ability to effectively fulfill 
requests for Close Air Support (CAS) from both Army and Marine 
ground commanders. These capabilities are critical to the 
development of the Air Expeditionary Force (AEF) concept to 
provide key interfaces between the air and ground components. 
Accordingly, the Committee recommends an increase of $5,000,000 
to support implementation of these capabilities in the year 
2000.

                   COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED ADJUSTMENTS

    Committee Recommendations.--The following table lists 
program recommendations proposed by the Committee. These 
adjustments reflect the following committee actions: 
elimination of funds requested for programs which are lower 
priority, duplicative or not supported by firm requirements or 
out-year development and procurement funds; deletion of excess 
funds based on program delays or slow execution; addition of 
funds to reflect congressional priorities and to rectify 
shortfalls in the budget request for activities; and 
implementation of recommendations reported in the Senate bill 
authorizing programs and activities of the Department of 
Defense [DOD] for fiscal year 2000.

Budget estimate, 2000...................................   8,609,289,000
Committee recommendation................................   9,325,315,000

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $9,325,315,000 
for defense-wide research, development, test, and evaluation 
programs, an increase of $716,026,000 to the budget request.
    The budget activities and programs funded under this 
appropriation are discussed below.

                   committee recommended adjustments

    Advanced Electronics Technology.--The Committee supports 
development of change-detection technology to interpret 
reconnaissance imagery and enhance intelligence community 
capabilities. The National Information Display Laboratory 
(NIDL) has been in the forefront of developing this technology 
and applying it to other military and non-military 
applications. The Committee urges that an interagency Board of 
Advisors be created to guide the NIDL's research agenda and its 
efforts to continue improving change-detection technology and 
to develop innovative applications. The Committee has provided 
an increase of $3,000,000 for research on change detection 
technology.
    Advanced Concept Technology Demonstration (ACTD) Littoral 
Battlefield.--Over the past several years, the Committee has 
supported efforts to demonstrate combined forces in war 
fighting exercises. Such initiatives have demonstrated promise 
towards achieving advancements in force integration, technology 
development, battlespace management, attack assessment and 
operational space exploitation.
    In order to facilitate the use of advanced technology on 
the battlefield, the Committee endorses an extensive advanced 
concept technology demonstration program that assesses 
expanding the littoral battlefield. The Chairman's Joint Vision 
2010 provides for such an approach, using a series of exercises 
and experiments to test these concepts and capabilities.
    The Committee believes that such an assessment should be 
developed in conjunction with an existing joint and operational 
exercise where a subordinate unified command responds to 
unforseen theater missions. This exercise needs to replicate 
combined joint training in areas with varied topographies 
including mountain terrain, bodies of water and a full spectrum 
of climatic conditions. The deployed task force headquarters 
would provide the command and control of the littoral 
battlefield.
    The Committee directs the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs to 
report to the congressional defense committees on the 
Department's plan and time line for the joint experimentation 
program for fiscal year 2000 and 2001 no later than February 
15, 2000.
    Computer-Assisted Technology Transfer.--The Computer-
Assisted Technology Transfer (CATT) program provides an 
innovative approach to Department of Defense procurement 
problems. The CATT partnership provides a possible solution for 
the DoD parts challenge by using information technologies to 
develop the industrial base and modernize the procurement 
process. These projects utilize distributed test beds to 
perform research and development, and evaluate, prototype, and 
transfer new and emerging information and manufacturing 
technologies between the military and civilian sectors. Support 
to small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) is provided through 
various types of mentoring structures which leverage existing 
procurement assistance initiatives.
    The Committee supports this program and encourages the 
Department to expand this program to other SME manufacturers 
creating additional virtual enterprise manufacturing programs, 
creating capacity to respond rapidly and cost-effectively to 
market forces.
    Biosystems Technology.--The Committee supports the 
development of environmentally sensitive products and services 
essential for the efficient operation of all branches of the 
military and the civilian sector and recognizes the unique 
factors in tropical and subtropical regions to provide the 
technology and resource base for these products and services. 
The Committee recommends $6,000,000 to pursue science and 
technology biological systems research in conjunction with the 
United States Department of Agriculture Sustainable Economic 
Activity program.
    WMD Related Technology.--The Committee has provided an 
increase of $7,000,000 for the Department of Defense (DoD) to 
analyze, model, simulate and predict the effects of nuclear 
explosions and to develop techniques to ensure systems survive 
these effects. The Committee encourages the Department of 
Defense to maintain the capability to perform these tasks.
    Controlled Flight into Terrain Accidents.--The Committee 
supports NIMA's efforts with other federal agencies to improve 
flight safety by using national imagery and photogrammetric 
techniques to create 3D terrain and obstruction databases for 
airfields. The Committee directs NIMA to expend up to 
$10,000,000 for this worthwhile effort, coordinating this 
activity with the Department of Transportation in order to meet 
flight standards and certification requirements.

                 BALLISTIC MISSILE DEFENSE ORGANIZATION

    Ballistic Missile Defense Organization [BMDO].--The 
Committee has provided $3,455,993,000 for research, 
development, test, and evaluation [RDT&E] efforts on national 
and theater ballistic missile defense systems and technologies. 
This appropriation represents an overall increase of 
$511,545,000 to the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization 
[BMDO] RDT&E budget request. The Committee also provides 
$360,898,000 for procurement of ballistic missile defense 
systems and components, an increase of $4,998,000 to the budget 
request. Thus, the total appropriation for ballistic missile 
defense programs in this bill is $3,816,891,000. The Committee 
has made a number of adjustments to individual RDT&E accounts.

    Support Technologies.--The Committee is concerned with the 
steady decline in the budget for Ballistic Missile Defense 
Support Technology. The Committee recognizes the importance of 
continued investment in support technology development for the 
viability of future missile defense systems. The Committee 
encourages the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization to 
increase its support technology budget.
    Russian American Observational Satellite.--The Committee 
understands that the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization, 
working with the Office of the Secretary of Defense, plans to 
make $16,000,000 of current and/or prior year funds available 
for the RAMOS program. The Committee directs that these funds 
shall be available only to continue the RAMOS satellite 
demonstration program.
    Theater High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD).--The Committee 
has provided $527,161,000, the amount requested for the THAAD 
demonstration and validation (Dem/Val) phase program. The 
Committee strongly supports continued development and flight 
testing of the THAAD interceptor. The Committee supports the 
THAAD program proceeding into the engineering and manufacturing 
development (EMD) phase following the successful completion of 
the Dem/Val phase exit criteria.
    Of the funds appropriated in Public Law 105-277 (Division 
B, Title 1, Section 102) for support of ballistic missile 
defense systems, the Committee directs that $83,755,000 of the 
appropriated funds shall only be available for engineering and 
manufacturing development (EMD) efforts on the THAAD program 
once the THAAD program has successfully completed all Dem/Val 
exit criteria.
    Theater High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD).--The Committee 
has provided $527,161,000, the amount requested for the THAAD 
demonstration and validation (Dem/Val) phase program. The 
Committee strongly supports continued development and flight 
testing of the THAAD interceptor. The Committee supports the 
THAAD program proceeding into the engineering and manufacturing 
development (EMD) phase following two successful intercepts and 
the successful completion of the Dem/Val phase exit criteria. 
Therefore, the Committee directs that any available THAAD Dem/
Val funds may be used to proceed into the EMD phase once the 
interceptor and radar have both met all Dem/Val exit criteria 
and accomplished two successful intercepts.

Budget estimate, 2000...................................     253,457,000
Committee recommendation................................     251,957,000

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $251,957,000 
for the ``Developmental test and evaluation, defense'' account, 
a decrease of $1,500,000 from the budget request.

                    Committee Recommended Adjustment

    Central Test and Evaluation Investment Program (CTEIP).--
The Committee provides $120,241,000, a decrease of $1,500,000 
to the budget request. The Committee adds $13,500,000 only to 
fund the Army's Roadway Simulator at the Aberdeen Test Center. 
The Committee also has deleted $15,000,000 from the Resource 
Enhancement Project (REP). The Committee understands the 
difficulty in programing and budgeting short-term emergent T&E 
requirements within REP. The Committee is concerned that REP 
funds are being used for recurrent and longer-term projects. 
The Committee believes that most, if not all, of these projects 
should be funded by the individual services.

                Operational Test and Evaluation, Defense

Appropriations, 1999....................................     $34,245,000
Budget estimate, 2000...................................      24,434,000
Committee recommendation................................      34,434,000

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $34,434,000 
for the ``Operational test and evaluation, defense'' account an 
increase of $10,000,000 to the budget request.

                    COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED ADJUSTMENT

    Live Fire Testing.--The Committee provides $10,000,000 only 
for continuation of the Live Fire Testing and Training 
Initiative (LFT&I). The Committee is encouraged by efforts 
within the Department to enhance testing technologies with 
modeling and simulation.

                                TITLE V

                     REVOLVING AND MANAGEMENT FUNDS

    The Committee recommends appropriations totaling 
$445,044,000 for title V, revolving and management funds.
    The Committee provides funding for the defense working 
capital fund and the national defense sealift fund under this 
heading.

              defense working capital funding adjustments

Appropriations, 1999....................................     $94,500,000
Budget estimate, 2000...................................      90,344,000
Committee recommendation................................      90,344,000

                     national defense sealift fund

Appropriations, 1999....................................    $706,366,000
Budget estimate, 2000...................................     354,700,000
Committee recommendation................................     354,700,000

    This appropriation provides funds for the lease, operation, 
and supply of prepositioning ships; operation of the Ready 
Reserve Force; acquisition of large medium speed roll-on/roll-
off ships for the Military Sealift Command; and acquisition of 
ships for the Ready Reserve Force.
    The budget includes $257,000,000 for Ready Reserve Force 
and $97,000,000 for acquisition activities in fiscal year 1999.
    National Defense Features Program.--The budget included no 
funds for National Defense Features, a program to modify 
commercial ships to allow them to be used for national defense 
purposes. The Committee has long supported this program 
believing there might be opportunities in the commercial 
marketplace to attain militarily useful vessels for a 
relatively small investment. The Committee is aware of a new 
proposal which would establish a program for sealift similar to 
the Commercial Reserve Air Feet (CRAF). The Committee believes 
the Defense Department should examine opportunities to create a 
program like CRAF for sealift and directs the Department to 
study the issue and report back to the congressional defense 
committees no later than March 1, 2000.

                                TITLE VI

               OTHER DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE APPROPRIATIONS

            Chemical Agents and Munitions Destruction, Army

Appropriations, 1999....................................    $780,150,000
Budget estimate, 2000...................................   1,169,000,000
Committee recommendation................................   1,029,000,000

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $1,029,000,000 
for the ``Chemical agents and munitions destruction, Army'' 
account for fiscal year 2000, a decrease of $140,000,000 from 
the budget estimate.
    The Chemical Stockpile Disposal Program provides resources 
to develop and test monitoring and disposal technology; equip, 
operate, and maintain disposal facilities; provide 
transportation of chemical agents and munitions onsite for 
disposal; dispose of all chemical agent destruction waste 
products; and decontaminate and dismantle all disposal 
equipment at the conclusion of toxic operations.

                       committee recommendations

              budget activity 1--research and development

    Research and development.--The fiscal year 2000 budget 
request includes $334,000,000 for the development of 
alternative technologies to incineration for disposal of 
chemical agents and the design, acquisition and testing of 
prototype equipment for the recovery and treatment of the 
nonstockpile chemical materiel. The Committee recommends 
$294,000,000, a decrease of $40,000,000 below the budget 
request.

                     budget activity 2--procurement

    Procurement.--The Department requested $241,500,000 for the 
procurement of process and support equipment used for the 
baseline destruction of chemical munitions in the stockpile, 
chemical stockpile emergency preparedness project [CSEPP] 
equipment, and the nonstockpile chemical material project 
[NSCMP] equipment. Also included are costs for initial spares, 
freight, software, maintenance and operations manuals relating 
to specific equipment, and design changes during construction 
and installation.
    The Committee recommends providing $191,500,000 for 
procurement activities in fiscal year 2000, a reduction of 
$50,000,000 from the budget request.

             budget activity 3--operations and maintenance

    Operation and maintenance.--The fiscal year 2000 budget 
request includes $593,500,000 for operations and maintenance 
funds for management, technical, and operational, support 
required for demilitarization of the chemical stockpile, 
emergency response activities, and support to the Nonstockpile 
Chemical Material Program. The Committee recommends providing 
$543,500,000 a decrease of $50,000,000 below the budget 
request.

                    PROGRAM OVERSIGHT AND MANAGEMENT

    The Committee is concerned with the lack of oversight 
afforded the Chemical Demilitarization Program within the 
executive branch. For example, at the end of fiscal year 1998, 
the Department of Defense informed the Committee that funds 
were unavailable for reprogramming to allow for the 
demonstration of alternative technologies to baseline 
incineration. More recently, the Office of Management and 
Budget informed the Committee that due to Congressional 
reductions to the fiscal year 1999 budget request, OMB was 
unable to identify available funds in the Chemical 
Demilitarization program to reprogram to fund additional 
demonstration projects.
    In a review of the program's funding, the Committee 
discovered that funds had systematically been obligated without 
being expended and in some instances funds were unobligated. 
Rather than facing a shortfall in funding, the program had over 
$200,000,000 of Operation and Maintenance funds unexpended at 
the end of fiscal year 1998. In light of the unobligated and 
unexpended balances available to the Department, the program 
growth in the budget request is not justified. The Committee 
has extended the availability of Operation and Maintenance 
funds available in fiscal year 2000 to the Department of 
Defense.
    Accordingly, the Committee requires the following report: 
not later than one hundred and twenty days from enactment of 
this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall submit a report to the 
defense committees which describes the actions taken to improve 
budget execution within the Chemical Demilitarization program. 
After identifying these actions, the report shall describe the 
unexpended obligations and unobligated balances available 
within the Chemical Demilitarization program by activity and 
fiscal year.
    ACWA.--The Committee continues to support the expeditious 
and complete execution of the Assembled Chemical Weapons 
Assessment program.

                         Defense Health Program

Appropriations, 1999.................................... $10,149,872,000
Budget estimate, 2000...................................  10,834,657,000
Committee recommendation................................  11,184,857,000

    The Committee recommends $11,184,857,000 for the Defense 
Health Program (DHP), an amount $350,200,000 above the budget 
request.

    Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences 
(USUHS).--The Committee recommends $6,300,000 from within 
Defense Health Program funds to meet funding requirements for 
USUHS.
    Graduate School of Nursing.--The Committee recommends 
$2,300,000 for the Graduate School of Nursing to support 
advanced nursing programs that contribute to readiness and 
cost-effective health care delivery to the uniformed services.
    Tri-Service Nursing Research Program.--The Committee 
recommends $6,000,000 for the Tri-Service Nursing Research 
Program. Within these funds, the Committee encourages the 
Department to establish an advanced practice registered nurse 
program at DoD and DVA facilities that leverages telehealth and 
distance learning capabilities. Further, the Committee 
encourages the Department to begin funding the Tri-Service 
Nursing Research Program in the Department's annual budget.
    Center for Disaster Management and Humanitarian Assistance 
(CDMHA).--The Committee recommends $5,000,000 to continue the 
Center for Disaster Management and Humanitarian Assistance. 
Within these funds, $760,000 is to fund the Casualty Care 
Research Center.
    PACMEDNET.--The Committee recommends $12,000,000 to 
continue the support of prototyping, demonstration, validation 
and maturation of technology through the PACMEDNET program.
    Outcome Driven Health Care and Information Systems for the 
Military.--The Committee is aware that due to the nature of 
military service and the frequent moves of service members and 
their families, important medical information is often 
scattered, incomplete and disjointed. Most health care systems 
treat only the illness at hand, and so it is difficult if not 
impossible to assess treatment outcomes over a long period of 
time. The Committee encourages the Department to make available 
up to $6,000,000 to support the development of a model outcome 
driven health care capability by integrating an electronic 
medical record and outcome analysis capabilities.
    Post-Doctoral Education.--The Committee encourages the 
Department to increase and consolidate postdoctoral training 
for psychologists in military medical centers with an 
independent department of psychology.
    Childhood Asthma.--The Committee recognizes that asthma 
continues to be a potentially devastating disease that leads to 
high use of medical resources. The Committee encourages the 
Army's continued research in practice guidelines, patient 
education and self care models that would facilitate better 
quality of life and cost effective outcomes.
    Defense Women's Health Research Program.--The Committee 
recognizes the importance of this issue and encourages the 
Department to support research in this area.
    DVA and Tripler Telehealth Programs.--With the co-location 
of the Veteran's Administration Hospital at Tripler Army 
Medical Center, the Committee encourages the Department and the 
Veteran's Health Administration to consolidate and coordinate 
telehealth programs to ensure that resources are efficiently 
applied.
    Dual Use Technology Program.--The Committee encourages the 
Army to initiate a dual use technology program in the emerging 
fields of voice recognition or wireless technology in support 
of medical applications.
    Government Computerized Patient Record (G-CPR).--The 
Committee recognizes efforts made on the G-CPR and encourages 
the Department to select technology savvy environments and 
existing collaborative partnerships for pilot implementation.
    Graduate School of Nursing.--The Committee encourages USUHS 
to provide support to the virtual reality human anatomy 
program, and to continue its development as an educational tool 
with a corresponding curriculum to enhance educational programs 
in the military health system.
    Graduate Medical Education (GME).--The Committee is 
concerned with the equitable distribution of funds for graduate 
medical education for all health professions, including 
nursing. The Committee directs the Department to provide a 
report by March 1, 2000 on the amount and distribution of funds 
spent on graduate medical education.
    DOD/DVA Distance Learning Pilot Project.--The Committee 
encourages the Department to continue the DoD/DVA distance 
learning pilot project to transition clinical nurse specialists 
to the role of nurse practitioners. The Committee directs the 
Department to provide a report by March 1, 2000, on the 
progress of this project.
    Behavioral Research.--The Committee is concerned with the 
continuing erosion of the Department's support for research on 
individual and group performance, leadership, communication, 
human-machine interfaces, and decision-making. The Committee 
encourages an evaluation on the application of behavioral, 
cognitive and social science research in the military, and the 
benefits of this research to military performance. The 
Committee directs the Department to provide a report by March 
1, 2000, detailing this evaluation and including a plan with 
recommendations to strengthen this research across the military 
services.
    Containing the Cost of Health Care.--The Committee is 
concerned with the continued growth in military health care 
expenditures, and is aware of computer-based simulation 
modeling capability that could contain health care costs while 
maintaining health care quality and access. This modeling would 
design and evaluate effective health system reengineering 
alternatives and develop effective alternative health 
management practices and procedures as a means of health cost 
containment. The Committee directs the Department to conduct a 
comprehensive evaluation of such modeling capability and health 
care reengineering, specifically addressing the potential for 
health care cost savings, and provide a report to the Committee 
by March 1, 2000.
    Smoking Cessation.--Last year, the Congress granted the 
Department the authority to provide effective tobacco cessation 
products and counseling for members of the Armed Forces and 
their dependents, including retired members, in a manner that 
does not impose the majority of the cost on the individual. The 
Department has established a limited number of pilot programs 
to evaluate the effectiveness of this concept. The Committee 
directs the Department to substantially increase the number of 
pilot programs so that a greater number of individuals could 
benefit from this program, with the goal of full access by 
January, 2001. The Committee directs the Department to submit a 
report by March 1, 2000 on the status of this pilot program, 
and a plan to implement a similar program throughout the 
Department.
    Anthrax Vaccine Adverse Reaction Reporting.--The Committee 
is concerned about reports that some service members who 
receive the anthrax vaccine through the Department's Anthrax 
Vaccination Immunization Program (AVIP) have not had access to 
methods of reporting, or may have been discouraged from 
reporting, adverse reactions associated with the vaccination. 
The Centers for Disease Control's Vaccine Adverse Events 
Reporting System (VAERS) should be available to all service 
members so that there will be an accurate and complete report 
of adverse reactions to the anthrax vaccine. The Committee 
directs the Department to take all necessary steps to ensure 
that service members are fully informed of the VAERS system, 
and to continue efforts to design longitudinal follow-up 
studies of the anthrax vaccine. The Committee directs the 
Department to report by March 1, 2000 on the actions taken to 
implement this direction.

    The Committee applauds the medical research and development 
efforts and accomplishments of the Department of Defense, and 
recommends $300,000,000 for medical RDT&E efforts to be 
conducted by the Department. Within these funds, $175,000,000 
is for the Breast Cancer Research Program (BCRP), and 
$75,000,000 is for the Prostate Cancer Research Program (PCRP).
    The remaining funds of $50,000,000 are to be made available 
for peer reviewed medical research grants and activities. The 
Committee directs that the Secretary of Defense, in conjunction 
with the service Surgeons General, establish a process to 
select medical research projects of clear scientific merit and 
direct relevance to military health.
    Such projects could include: acute lung injury research; 
advanced soft tissue modeling; alcohol abuse prevention 
research; alcoholism research; brain injury; childhood asthma; 
cognitive neuroscience; diabetes; digital mammography imaging; 
disease management demonstration; enzymatic wound 
disinfectants; neurofibromatosis; osteoporosis and bone 
disease; ovarian cancer; polynitroxylated hemoglobin; smoking 
cessation; stem cell research; and tissue regeneration for 
combat casualty care.
    The Committee directs the Department to provide a report by 
March 1, 2000, on the status of this peer reviewed medical 
research program, to include the corresponding funds provided 
in fiscal year 1999.

in title VI, Counternarcotics and Drug Interdiction Program for 
fiscal year 2000, an amount $54,200,000 above the requested 
fiscal year 2000 level.

                    Summary of Committee Adjustments

                                                            In thousands

    National Guard activities.--The Committee recognizes the 
valuable contribution the National Guard makes to the 
counterdrug effort and provides an additional $20,000,000. This 
augment reflects a continuing requirement to adequately fund 
the National Guard's contribution and the Committee directs the 
Department to include this level of funding at a minimum, 
commencing with the fiscal year 2001 budget submission.
    Of these additional funds, the Committee urges the New 
Jersey National Guard to participate in Crack House Demolition 
and related missions in the New Jersey High Intensity Drug 
Trafficking Area (HIDTA).
    Drug Free Century Act.--In order to support the initiative 
outlined in S. 5, the Drug Free Century Act, to significantly 
reduce the flow of cocaine and heroin into the United States, 
the Committee has provided an additional $50,000,000 for 
counterdrug intelligence and infrastructure support. 
Additionally, $1,000,000 has been included to fund a study 
assessing the utility of an additional Relocatable Over The 
Horizon Radar (ROTHR) site to enhance transit and source zone 
monitoring. The Department is to report to the defense 
committees, by February 15, 2000 addressing site surveys of 
potential locations, resource requirements and a detailed time 
line if this is deemed to be an effective additional deterrence 
tool.
    Marijuana eradication.--The Committee has provided an 
additional $6,000,000 for the conduct of marijuana eradication. 
These funds are to be used to address marijuana eradication 
shortfalls in the two States having the highest rate of outdoor 
cannabis cultivation as set forth in a 1996 report prepared by 
the DEA's Strategic Detection Unit of the domestic intelligence 
section.
    Gulf States counterdrug initiative.--The Committee has 
provided an additional $10,000,000 to support the Gulf States 
counterdrug initiative and the Regional Counterdrug Training 
Academy [RCTA]. These funds will provide for sustainment and 
support costs, improvements to the existing processing and 
analysis centers in Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, and 
Mississippi, modernization and hardware/software upgrades, and 
a systems application program.
    Civil Air Patrol.--Funds made available to the Civil Air 
Patrol [CAP] in the fiscal year 2000 appropriation for Defense 
Department drug interdiction activities may be used for CAP's 
demand reduction program involving youth programs as well as 
operational and training drug reconnaissance missions for 
Federal, State, and local government agencies, and for any 
directly associated administrative costs. The Air Force should 
waive reimbursement from Federal, State, and local government 
agencies for use of these funds.
    Illegal Narcotic Crop Cultivation.--The Committee is aware 
that the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago, IL has 
well-established expertise in both evaluating different land-
use practices and educating local governments and non-
governmental organizations about sustainable alternatives to 
growing narcotic crops. Subsequently, the Committee encourages 
the Department to support a Field Museum-sponsored research and 
inventory expedition in South America to evaluate the viability 
of alternative crops to illegal narcotic crop cultivation.

    Sec. 8100. Pacific Disaster Center.--The Committee

of Defense to establish public-private partnerships among the 
Center, government, and non-government activities to allow PDC 
to better utilize its products, information, facilities and 
knowledge of organizational development of a disaster 
information center and other resources. PDC has created 
products and services which are of significant value to outside 
entities, but, without legislation, the Center cannot sell 
them. The Committee is encouraged by the activities of PDC and 
wants to limit the amount of federal funding that is required 
to develop, operate and maintain the center in the future by 
affording it the opportunity to generate external revenue. The 
Committee expects the PDC to pursue a long-term structure that 
provides for its self-sustainment through a government-owned 
contractor operated, government corporation, not-for-profit, 
public-private partnership, or commercial entity.
    To carry out this partnership, the Center would be allowed 
to seek and receive funding from different entities to include 
foreign governments. PDC may enter into agreements with 
institutions of higher education; Federal, State or local 
government agencies; not-for-profit entities or other 
cooperative funded activities; and private or corporate 
entities to provide for joint operation and development of PDC. 
The Center may also engage in activities and partnerships for 
profit, as appropriate and within existing law, in pursuing 
economic opportunities domestically and internationally 
providing emergency management products and services including 
operational analysis, systems engineering, development 
engineering, training, vulnerability assessment and consequence 
modeling, disaster analysis, policy support, management 
consultation, infrastructure planning and protection, military 
and civil emergency management, humanitarian assistance, and 
disaster relieve information support planning and execution and 
information brokering.
    Sec. 8101. Supplemental Funding for Military Personnel.--
Inserts a new provision which reduces Title I appropriations to 
reflect amounts appropriated in H.R. 1141, as enacted.
    Sec. 8102. Environmental Contracting.--Inserts a new 
provision which directs limits the funding that can be 
obligated to indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity 
environmental contracts.
    Sec. 8103. Elmendorf Air Force Base.--Inserts a new 
provision which allows for the realignment of railroad track.
    Sec. 8104. Combating Terrorism.--Inserts a new provision 
establishing a minimum funding level for counter-terrorism 
activities.
    Sec. 8105. Alcoholic beverages.--Inserts a provision 
included in previous years which directs the local procurement 
of alcoholic beverages sold on military installations in States 
which are not contiguous.
    Sec. 8106. Aircraft Leasing.--Inserts a provision to 
provide the Air Force the necessary authority to negotiate 
leases for support aircraft.
    Sec. 8107. Spectrum Auctions.--The Committee recommends a 
provision that permits the acceleration of certain spectrum 
auctions, as proposed by the President.
    Sec. 8108. Operation and maintenance and procurement 
activities.--The Committee includes a provision that permits 
the Department to carry over funds provided in Public Law 105-
277 and Public Law 106-31 for operation and maintenance and 
procurement activities during fiscal year 2000.

  COMPLIANCE WITH PARAGRAPH 7, RULE XVI, OF THE STANDING RULES OF THE 
                                 SENATE

    Paragraph 7 of rule XVI requires that Committee reports on 
general appropriations bills identify each Committee amendment 
to the House bill ``which proposes an item of appropriation 
which is not made to carry out the provisions of an existing 
law, a treaty stipulation, or an act or resolution previously 
passed by the Senate during that session.''
    Due to the early Committee action on the fiscal year 1999 
Defense appropriations bill, an original Senate bill was 
reported by the Appropriations Committee to the Senate.
    At the point when the Committee reports this measure, the 
Congress has not completed action on S. 2057, the Fiscal Year 
1999 Defense Authorization Act. As a consequence, the Committee 
has acted in good faith in its attempt to comply fully with 
requirements stipulated under paragraph 7, rule XVI.
    The Committee anticipates that Congress will authorize the 
amounts appropriated in this act.

COMPLIANCE WITH PARAGRAPH 7(C), RULE XXVI OF THE STANDING RULES OF THE

ordered reported en bloc, an original fiscal year 2000 
Department of Defense Appropriations bill (S. 1122), the fiscal 
year 2000 section 302(b) allocation, and H.R. 1664, by recorded 
vote of 24-3, a quorum being present.

 COMPLIANCE WITH PARAGRAPH 12, RULE XXVI OF THE STANDING RULES OF THE 
                                 SENATE

    Paragraph 12 of rule XXVI requires that Committee reports 
on a bill or joint resolution repealing or amending any statute 
or part of any statute include ``(a) the text of the statute or 
part thereof which is proposed to be repealed; and (b) a 
comparative print of that part of the bill or joint resolution 
making the amendment and of the statute or part thereof 
proposed to be amended, showing by stricken-through type and 
italics, parallel columns, or other appropriate typographical 
devices the omissions and insertions which would be made by the 
bill or joint resolution if enacted in the form recommended by 
the committee.''
    The Committee bill as recommended contains no such 
provisions.
