                               BACKGROUND

                          Purpose of the Bill

    This bill makes appropriations for the functions of the 
Departments of Commerce, Justice, State, the Judiciary and 
Related Agencies for the period October 1, 2002, through 
September 30, 2003. Functional areas include the pay, 
allowances, and support of personnel, operation and 
maintenance, procurement of equipment and systems, and 
research.
    The bill provides funds for fighting crime, enhancing drug 
enforcement, responding to the threat of terrorism, addressing 
the shortcomings of the immigration process, continuing the 
judicial process, conducting commerce within the United States, 
improving State Department operations, and fullfilling the 
needs of various independent agencies.

                                Hearings

    The Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice, State, the Judiciary 
and Related Agencies Appropriations began hearings on the 
fiscal year 2003 budget request on February 26, 2002, and 
concluded them on March 21, 2002, after holding 7 separate 
sessions. The subcommittee heard testimony from representatives 
of the Departments of Commerce, Justice, State, the Judiciary, 
and various commissions.

                          Summary of the Bill

    The budget estimates for the departments and agencies 
included in the accompanying bill are contained in the budget 
of the United States for fiscal year 2003 submitted on January 
30, 2002.
    The total amount of new budget authority recommended by the 
Committee for fiscal year 2003 is $47,067,043,000. This amount 
is an increase of $2,794,507,000 above appropriations enacted 
for fiscal year 2002 for these departments and agencies. The 
Committee recommendation is $3,159,971,000 above the budget 
estimates.

            REPROGRAMMINGS, REORGANIZATIONS, AND RELOCATIONS

    As in previous years, the Committee is inserting section 
605 under title VI of the general provisions of the bill.
    The Committee directs that both the House and Senate 
chairmen of the Subcommittees on the Departments of Commerce, 
Justice, and State, the Judiciary, and related agencies will be 
notified by letter at least 15 days prior to:
  --Reprogramming of funds, whether permanent or temporary, in 
        excess of $500,000 or 10 percent, whichever is less, 
        between programs or activities. In addition, the 
        Committee desires to be notified of reprogramming 
        actions which are less than these amounts if such 
        actions would have the effect of committing the agency 
        to significant funding requirements in future years;
  --Increasing funds or personnel by any means for any project 
        or activity for which funds have been denied or 
        restricted;
  --Creation of new programs, offices, agencies, or 
        commissions, or substantial augmentations of existing 
        programs, offices, agencies, or commissions;
  --Relocations of offices or employees;
  --Reorganization of offices, programs, or activities; and
  --Contracts out or privatizes any functions or activities 
        presently performed by Federal employees.
     The Committee directs each department or agency to notify 
the Committee when the number of political appointees rises 
above 10 percent from either of the previous 2 years or when 
five or more political appointees are added in a given year. 
The Committee should be notified 30 days before either of these 
situations occurs. Similar notification should be provided when 
the same number of personnel positions is converted from 
political appointments to civil service positions.
    In addition, the Committee directs departments or agencies 
funded in the accompanying bill that are planning to conduct a 
reduction in force to notify the Committees by letter 30 days 
in advance of the date of the proposed personnel action. Also, 
the Committee directs that any items which are subject to 
interpretation will be reported.

Note.--Consistent with the funding recommended in the bill for the United Nations arrearages and in accordance
  with section 314(b)(4) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, the Committee anticipates that the Budget
  Committee will file a revised section 302(a) allocation for the Committee on Appropriations reflecting an
  upward adjustment of $---------- in budget authority. deg.

ACCRUAL FUNDING OF RETIREMENT COSTS AND POST-RETIREMENT HEALTH BENEFITS

    The President's Budget included a legislative proposal 
under the jurisdiction of the Senate Committee on Governmental 
Affairs to charge to individual agencies, starting in fiscal 
year 2003, the fully accrued costs related to retirement 
benefits of Civil Service Retirement System employees and 
retiree health benefits for all civilian employees. The Budget 
also requested an additional dollar amount in each affected 
discretionary account to cover these accrued costs.
    The authorizing committee has not acted on this 
legislation, therefore the Senate Appropriations Committee has 
reduced the dollar amounts of the President's request shown in 
the ``Comparative Statement of New Budget Authority Request and 
Amounts Recommended in the Bill'', as well as in other tables 
in this report, to exclude the accrual funding proposal.
    The Committee further notes that administration proposals 
requiring legislative action by the authorizing committees of 
Congress are customarily submitted in the budget as separate 
schedules apart from the regular appropriations requests. 
Should such a proposal be enacted, a budget amendment formally 
modifying the President's appropriation request for 
discretionary funding is subsequently transmitted to the 
Congress.
    The Senate Appropriations Committee joins with the House 
Appropriations Committee in raising concern that this practice, 
which has always worked effectively for both Congress and past 
administrations, was not followed for the accrual funding 
proposal. In this case, the Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB) decided to include accrual amounts in the original 
discretionary appropriations language request. These amounts 
are based on legislation that has yet to be considered and 
approved by the appropriate committees of Congress. This led to 
numerous misunderstandings both inside and outside of Congress 
of what was the ``true'' President's budget request. The 
Committee believes that, in the future, OMB should follow long-
established procedures with respect to discretionary spending 
proposals that require legislative action.

                     TITLE I--DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

    The Committee has made funding for law enforcement the 
centerpiece of the fiscal year 2003 appropriations bill. The 
Committee recommends $25,780,035,000 in new budget 
(obligational) authority in the accompanying bill for the 
Department of Justice with a strong emphasis on law enforcement 
activities for fiscal year 2003.
    The Committee shares the desire of the House to channel 
most of its inquiries and requests for information and 
assistance through the budget offices or comptroller 
organizations, but reserves the right to call upon all 
organizations throughout the agencies. The Committee continues 
to stress the natural affinity between these offices and the 
Appropriations Committee, which makes such a relationship 
imperative.
    Modular cost budgeting and chronic shortfalls.--Built into 
the cost of every new Justice Department employee are funds to 
partially cover so-called ``modular costs'', the costs of 
equipment, vehicles, facilities, and training integral to an 
employee's ability to perform his or her duty. Yet, in the 
Committee's experience, components are, almost without 
exception, desperately short of equipment, vehicles, 
facilities, and training. The reasons for this are unclear. 
However, it seems apparent that the modular cost approach has 
lulled components into ignoring necessary capital investments. 
It has also grossly inflated the cost of new employees without 
commensurate benefit. Built-in capital investment funds are 
siphoned off for purposes unknown while the Committee finds 
itself responsible for pulling together funds to address 
significant shortfalls in everything from computers to 
fingerprint powder. The Committee believes that the long-term 
health of the Department requires a new approach to budgeting. 
Therefore, the Justice Department is directed to drop modular 
cost budgeting beginning with the fiscal year 2004 request. The 
costing of new employees shall only include personnel salaries 
and benefits. Costs associated with new hires characterized 
broadly as ``Contractual Services and Supplies'', ``Acquisition 
of Assets'', and ``Items with Multiple Object Classes'' shall 
be budgeted directly in separate and identifiable capital 
investment lines in the request of each component. Justice 
Management Division is directed to submit a report on how this 
was achieved not later than February 5, 2003.

                         General Administration


                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

Appropriations, 2002....................................     $91,668,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................     114,579,000
Committee recommendation................................      99,696,000

    This account funds the development of policy objectives and 
the overall management of the Department of Justice. The 
Committee recommends an appropriation of $99,696,000. The 
recommendation is $14,883,000 below the budget request. The 
Committee recommendation includes the fiscal year 2002 funding 
level, a 4.1 percent pay raise for Federal employees, and 
$6,000,000 for requested Homeland Security program increases.
    International Law Enforcement Training Academy/Mexico.--As 
was stated last year, the Committee believes a law enforcement 
training academy, similar to the International Law Enforcement 
Academies (ILEAs) in Budapest and Bangkok, should be 
established in Southern Mexico. United States law enforcement 
agency personnel would manage the facility and conduct the 
courses, and in the process develop personal relationships with 
Mexican law enforcement personnel that would be invaluable to 
future liaison and cooperative international law enforcement 
activities. The fiscal year 2002 conference agreement directed 
the Attorney General, in consultation and collaboration with 
the Secretary of State, to provide a report to the Committees 
on Appropriations no later than May 12, 2002 on the feasibility 
of establishing ILEA-Mexico. The report was supposed to include 
a timeline, cost analysis, and implementation plan for 
establishing ILEA-Mexico. To date, Congressional direction has 
been ignored. Not more than $8,250,000 of the amount provided 
under this heading shall be available for obligation and 
expenditure until the report is delivered to the Committees on 
Appropriations.
    Security Locks Initiative.--It is imperative for the 
Justice Department to store classified materials securely and 
in compliance with Federal security standard FF-L-2740A. The 
recommendation includes $2,000,000 to upgrade security locks to 
ensure the safety of such critical information.

                   IDENTIFICATION SYSTEMS INTEGRATION

Appropriations, 2002....................................................
Budget estimate, 2003...................................     $24,478,000
Committee recommendation................................................

    The Committee does not recommend an appropriation for this 
new account. Instead, funding is provided in separate accounts 
within this title.
    There are no advantages in merging funding for the Joint 
Automated Booking System and Automated Biometric Identification 
System/Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System 
integration into a single account. Historically, such mergers 
have hindered program progress and complicated program 
oversight.

                     JOINT AUTOMATED BOOKING SYSTEM

Appropriations, 2002....................................      $1,000,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................................
Committee recommendation................................      15,973,000

    This account centrally funds development, acquisition, and 
deployment of the Joint Automated Booking System [JABS]. 
Previously, JABS funding was distributed among various Justice 
components.
    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $15,973,000. 
The recommendation is $486,000 above last year's level, which 
included $1,000,000 in direct appropriations and additional 
funding from other available resources within Justice. The 
Committee recommendation includes the fiscal year 2002 funding 
level, a 4.1 percent pay adjustment for Federal employees, and 
$14,957,000 for requested Homeland Security program increases.
    The Committee has not adopted an Administration proposal to 
merge funding for JABS and Automated Biometric Identification 
System/Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System 
integration into a single new account.
    JABS will: (1) standardize booking data, procedures, and 
equipment throughout Justice; (2) save funds by eliminating 
repetitive booking of suspects; and (3) improve public safety 
by identifying repeat offenders and persons with outstanding 
charges or warrants.
    JABS incentive funds are to be distributed to the component 
or components making the best progress in installing and 
operating the system.

    AUTOMATED BIOMETRIC IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM/INTEGRATED AUTOMATED 
             FINGERPRINT IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM INTEGRATION

Appropriations, 2002....................................................
Budget estimate, 2003...................................................
Committee recommendation................................      $9,000,000

    This new account funds integration of the Automated 
Biometric Identification System and the Integrated Automated 
Fingerprint Identification System [IDENT/IAFIS].
    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $9,000,000. 
The recommendation is identical to the budget request and to 
last year's funding level, which included funding from 
available resources within the Department.
    Previously, funding for IDENT/IAFIS integration was 
provided under the heading ``General Administration, Salaries 
and Expenses''. The Committee has not adopted an Administration 
proposal to merge funding for IDENT/IAFIS integration and the 
Joint Automated Booking System into a single account.
    There are considerable cost implications with this effort. 
As the Inspector General noted in a December 2001 report, and 
Justice confirmed in March 2002 briefings, the system, and 
particularly the operational costs to the Immigration and 
Naturalization Service [INS] of an integrated IDENT/IAFIS 
system could approach $1,900,000,000. This does not include 
additional significant costs that would indirectly be incurred 
by the Marshals Service, U.S. Attorneys, Executive Office of 
Immigration Review, and Bureau of Prisons. The Committee will 
have difficulty meeting these costs requirements in the 
foreseeable future. Rather than focusing on the relatively 
simple matter of integrating the two systems, Justice must 
craft an affordable, comprehensive plan that addresses border 
security throughout the Department. Therefore, 25 percent of 
$8,000,000 provided under this heading shall be available for 
obligation and expenditure only after the Justice Management 
Division delivers to the Committees on Appropriations a cost 
and operational effectiveness analysis [COEA] for IDENT/IAFIS. 
The COEA should cover all Justice Department costs, not just 
those of the Border Patrol or the INS. The remaining $1,000,000 
shall be for a pilot program for software for IAFIS that is 
capable of expedited background checks and that is capable of 
10-fingerprint to 2-fingerprint comparisons.

                                CHIMERA

Appropriations, 2002....................................................
Budget estimate, 2003...................................................
Committee recommendation................................     $83,400,000

    This new account funds the design, development, testing, 
and deployment of an interoperable computer network, 
``Chimera'', for the Immigration and Naturalization Service.
    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $83,400,000. 
The recommendation is $83,400,000 above the budget request. 
This request is identical to a requested Homeland Security 
program increase under INS.
    INS suffers to an extreme from information technology (IT) 
``stovepiping''. Over the years, INS has developed a myriad of 
independent systems to address specific needs or missions. 
These systems tend not to replace, but serve as an adjunct to, 
paper-driven processes. The systems have limited capability and 
are rarely compatible either internally or with other agencies. 
The significant funds invested in these systems have yielded 
little results.
    Today, like the FBI, INS needs a more coordinated approach 
to avoid reprehensible errors, such as the Resendez-Ramirez and 
Atta/Alshehhi embarrassments. In the first, Border Patrol 
didn't know what FBI was doing. In the second, benefits didn't 
know what enforcement was doing. So, first and foremost, INS 
needs to be running on a common platform with common databases 
accessible, as needed and authorized, by all on the network.
    Section 202 of the ``Enhanced Border Security and Visa 
Entry Reform Act of 2002'' recognized this critical deficiency 
and mandated the creation of an interoperable law enforcement 
and intelligence data system known as Chimera. Chimera will be 
a common hardware/software backbone deployed INS-wide. It will 
serve as the searchable, shareable repository of data bases 
migrated from existing (``legacy'') INS systems that are 
incompatible with one another and with other law enforcement, 
State Department, and intelligence community systems. It also 
will serve as the foundation for student tracking and entry/
exit applications.
    Chimera is envisioned as a clone of Trilogy, the FBI's 
computer modernization program. In an effort to not repeat past 
mistakes, the FBI is directed to make a formal presentation to 
both the Justice Management Division [JMD] and the 
Appropriations Committees on lessons learned from Trilogy not 
later than October 15, 2002.
    The Committee directs the JMD to manage Chimera. To the 
degree prudent, the Chimera program must: (1) leverage 
commercial-off-the-shelf software, (2) piggyback on past INS, 
Justice, and Federal Government information technology [IT] 
investments, and (3) quickly identify and dismantle or migrate 
legacy systems that have reached the end of useful service life 
or are of marginal value to the execution of core INS missions. 
JMD may also assess the value of developing and testing a 
prototype integrated database. To that end, JMD shall undertake 
a comprehensive survey of existing INS IT systems to build a 
definitive baseline of current capabilities and deficiencies. 
The design of Chimera's architecture should build directly upon 
this foundation.
    Prior to the next phase of investment in Chimera, JMD shall 
brief the Committees on Appropriations on: (1) current INS IT 
systems capabilities and shortcomings, (2) opportunities to 
leverage technical solutions developed, or lessons learned, by 
other Federal agencies and private industry, (3) program 
priorities designed to maximize INS performance as quickly as 
possible, and (4) projected schedule, with modular and 
measurable milestones, and costs, by fiscal year.

                   LEGAL ACTIVITIES OFFICE AUTOMATION

Appropriations, 2002....................................     $15,765,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................      15,942,000
Committee recommendation................................      77,127,000

    This account centrally funds acquisition, deployment, and 
maintenance of Legal Activities Office Automation [LAOA] 
systems, the largest components of which are the Justice 
Consolidated Network [JCN] and the Justice Consolidated Office 
Network [JCON]. Previously, LAOA funding was included under 
``General Legal Activities''. The adoption of a common standard 
and uniform equipment across Justice components has improved 
efficiency and saved money.
    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $77,127,000. 
The recommendation is $61,185,000 above the budget request and 
$42,527,000 more than last year's level. The Committee has not 
adopted a recommendation to use prior year funds and has 
instead appropriated the entire amount sought for LAOA. The 
Committee has made an exception to the philosophy underlying 
the proposed mark, because of the importance it places on 
migrating justice components to a common information technology 
platform.
    LAOA is the computer modernization program for the legal 
divisions, including the Antitrust Division, the U.S. 
Attorneys, the U.S. Marshals Service, the U.S. Trustees, the 
Executive Office for Immigration Review, the Community 
Relations Service, and the offices funded through the ``General 
Administration'' and ``General Legal Activities'' accounts. The 
Committee has pushed hard in previous years to increase the 
funds for, and widen the scope of, JCN and JCON to maximize the 
benefits of a common computer system across components. This 
year, the Committee recommendation incorporates the Bureau of 
Prisons and Office of Justice Programs into the network.

                       NARROWBAND COMMUNICATIONS

Appropriations, 2002....................................     $94,615,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................     149,254,000
Committee recommendation................................     229,400,000

    This account centrally funds development, acquisition, 
deployment, and operation and maintenance of the Justice 
Department's narrowband wireless communications network. By 
law, all Justice components operating Land Mobile Radio [LMR] 
systems in the VHF band must convert by January 1, 2005.
    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $229,400,000. 
The recommendation is $80,146,000 above the budget request to 
address requirements of this critical program. The 
recommendation includes a 4.1 percent pay adjustment for 
Federal employees. Previously, narrowband communications 
compliance funding was scattered among various Justice 
components.
    The Committee notes that Justice has signed a Memorandum of 
Understanding with the Treasury Department committing both to a 
joint design. Hopefully, Treasury will decide to become a full 
partner in the deployment and installation of the Justice 
Wireless Network [JWN]. A number of critical development 
milestones should be reached between June 2002 and March 2003, 
and the Committee expects the Wireless Management Office to 
keep it fully apprised of program progress.
    Central management of narrowband radio investments will 
retain (1) maximize resource sharing; (2) ensure system 
efficiency and interoperability; and (3) sharply reduce up 
front and out year costs Department-wide, the more so if 
Treasury fully commits to the JWN.

                         COUNTERTERRORISM FUND

Appropriations, 2002....................................      $4,989,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................      35,000,000
Committee recommendation................................................

    The Committee does not recommend an appropriation for the 
``Counterterrorism fund'' account. The recommendation is 
$35,000,000 below the request and $4,989,000 below the fiscal 
year 2002 appropriation. The funding provided for the 
Counterterrorism Fund in fiscal year 2002 does not recur in 
fiscal year 2003 and the $35,000,000 requested as a Homeland 
Security program increase for this account in fiscal year 2003 
is included under salaries and expenses of the Federal Bureau 
of Investigation. The Committee is aware that there will be 
carryover balances available in fiscal year 2003 in excess of 
$43,000,000.
    The purpose of the fund is to: (1) cover the costs incurred 
in reestablishing the operational capability of an office or 
facility which has been damaged or destroyed as a result of any 
domestic or international terrorist incident; (2) cover the 
costs of providing support to counter, investigate, or 
prosecute domestic or international terrorism, including 
payment of rewards in connection with these activities; and (3) 
cover the costs of conducting a terrorism threat assessment of 
Federal agencies and their facilities.
    The budget request, however, included an additional 
$35,000,000 not for the fund's intended mission of providing 
the Justice Department needed flexibility in the days 
immediately following a catastrophe, but for regular operations 
of the Federal Bureau of Investigation [FBI] and the Drug 
Enforcement Administration [DEA]. Specifically, the budget 
request included this funding to serve as FBI reimbursements to 
the DEA for intelligence derived from the Special Operations 
Division [SOD]. This funding is therefore included in the 
salaries and expenses account of the FBI.

                   ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW AND APPEALS

Appropriations, 2002....................................    $177,147,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................     193,535,000
Committee recommendation................................     180,466,000

    The Executive Office for Immigration Review [EOIR] includes 
the Board of Immigration Appeals, immigration judges, and 
administrative law judges who decide through administrative 
hearings whether to admit or exclude aliens seeking to enter 
the country, and whether to deport or adjust the status of 
aliens whose status has been challenged. This account also 
funds the Office of the Pardon Attorney which receives, 
investigates, and considers petitions for all forms of 
executive clemency.
    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $180,466,000. 
The recommendation is $13,069,000 below the budget request. The 
Committee recommendation includes the fiscal year 2002 funding 
level and a 4.1 percent pay adjustment for Federal employees.

                           DETENTION TRUSTEE

Appropriations, 2002....................................      $1,000,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................   1,388,566,000
Committee recommendation................................   1,385,966,000

    The Detention Trustee oversees Federal detainees. The 
Committee recommends an appropriation of $1,385,966,000. The 
recommendation is $2,600,000 below the budget request.
    Last year, the Committee's recommendation for the Detention 
Trustee included funding for the Justice Prisoner and Alien 
Transportation System [JPATS] and requested that the Justice 
Department include in its fiscal year 2003 budget request a 
proposal to centralize all detention funding under the Trustee. 
The Committee recommendation included that direction because 
only with control of funding can the Detention Trustee 
effectively oversee and manage detention. The Committee is 
pleased that the budget request met the Committee's 
recommendation last year to the extent that it centralizes 
funding for the Federal Prisoner Detention Program and the 
Immigration and Naturalization Service's Service Processing 
Center within the Department of Justice Detention Trustee.
    However, while the Trustee has management responsibility 
for detention, and finally has been given control of funding 
for bed space, detention personnel still remain under the 
control of the various components. Without control of 
personnel, the Trustee will be forced to regularly contend with 
Presidentially-appointed officials in the Marshals Service 
[USMS], the Immigration and Naturalization Service [INS], and 
the Bureau of Prisons [BoP] who may disagree with his 
``guidance''. If the Trustee is to effectively manage bed 
space, he must control the experts that negotiate inter-
governmental agreements. Therefore, not later than 45 days 
after enactment of this Act, the Justice Department is directed 
to transfer such personnel from the USMS, INS, and BoP to the 
Detention Trustee as may be necessary to give the Trustee full 
operational control of bed space management. To the degree 
possible, such transfers should be voluntary and involve a 
minimum of disruption. Should said transfers not occur by this 
date, the $1,870,000 provided under this heading for additional 
management personnel shall immediately be transferred to the 
Working Capital Fund.
    Because of the unique nature of the activities undertaken 
in this account, the Committee has broken with the general 
philosophy underlying the recommendation by providing the 
budget request rather than the fiscal year 2002 funding level. 
Almost all of the funding proposed under this heading is for 
contract bed space. Bed space requirements are based on 
projections of the total number of detainees and the total 
number of incarceration days. These costs are essentially 
mandatory, since failure to pay them would result in the 
release on bond or recognizance of suspects thought to be a 
menace to public safety or a flight risk.
    National clearinghouse for detention space.--The Committee 
fully supports the notion of a one-stop shop for detention 
space. Such a clearinghouse may be the only way to break the 
current ``seller's market'' that has allowed local bed space 
providers to charge excessive daily rates. The Committee 
believes that existing Justice networks, such as Law 
Enforcement Online, may serve as a vehicle for the 
clearinghouse or that lessons learned in the FBI's Internet 
cafe program may speed development of the clearinghouse. In 
cooperation with the Justice Department's Chief Information 
Officer, the Trustee is directed to pursue any and all cost-
effective means of establishing the clearinghouse as rapidly as 
possible. The Committee recommendation includes $5,000,000 for 
this effort. The Committee expects to be regularly briefed on 
the Trustee's progress in making the clearinghouse a reality.
    Justice Prisoner and Alien Transportation System.--The 
Committee is disappointed by the Justice Department's failure 
to make the Trustee the head of the Justice Prisoner and Alien 
Transportation System [JPATS]. As the Committee noted last 
year, endless disputes between JPATS ``customers'' are 
distracting managers from the complex task of operating an 
airline in a high security environment. As importantly, the 
lack of a sufficiently powerful manager leaves the program 
without an advocate in all-important budget debates. The result 
is a wide-body fleet in such a ruinous condition that only the 
dedication of the maintenance personnel and pilots keep these 
aircraft in the air. These problems leave little time to 
explore possible efficiencies in routing, scheduling, or other 
operational areas. The Department's proposed solution, out-
sourcing, fails to address the real issues affecting JPATS and 
is unacceptable except on a carefully limited, piecemeal basis. 
There should be no confusion that ultimate responsibility for 
the safe and secure transportation of prisoners rests solely 
with the Justice Department. That being so, the Trustee is 
directed to assume control of JPATS operations not later than 
January 1, 2003. The Committee will consider a reprogramming 
request to fund a business process re-engineering study after 
the Trustee has taken over JPATS and after the immediate need 
to replace aging wide-body aircraft has been fully addressed.

                      OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL

Appropriations, 2002....................................     $50,735,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................      63,937,000
Committee recommendation................................      54,825,000

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $54,825,000. 
The recommendation is $9,112,000 below the budget request. The 
Committee recommendation includes the fiscal year 2002 funding 
level, a 4.1 percent pay adjustment for Federal employees, and 
$3,000,000 for requested Homeland Security program increases.
    The Committee recommendation includes an increase of 
$3,000,000 for 3 attorneys, 10 agents, and 12 auditors or 
program analysts to provide effective oversight of the 
Department's counterterrorism program. As the Inspector General 
[IG] noted in his budget justification, the Department's 
Strategic Plan for 2001-2006 ``notes the significant management 
challenge facing the Department as it seeks to effectively 
manage its counterterrorism program and avoid potential gaps in 
coverage or duplicate services provided by state and local 
governments. In addition, the infusion of billions of dollars 
into the Department's efforts to combat terrorism presents its 
own set of challenges.'' The Committee concurs with the 
judgment of the IG and looks forward to regular progress 
reports.

                         U.S. Parole Commission


                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

Appropriations, 2002....................................      $9,876,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................      10,862,000
Committee recommendation................................      10,114,000

    This Commission is an independent body within the 
Department of Justice which makes decisions regarding requests 
for parole and supervision of Federal prisoners.
    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $10,114,000. 
The recommendation is $748,000 below the budget request. The 
Committee recommendation includes the fiscal year 2002 funding 
level and a 4.1 percent pay adjustment for Federal employees.
    The Parole Commission is scheduled to be phased out 
November 1, 2002 as a result of the creation of sentencing 
guidelines. The Committee is aware that legislation has been 
proposed to extend the Parole Commission beyond this statutory 
phase out date. Funding provided for this account is subject to 
the enactment of this authorization.

                            Legal Activities


                        GENERAL LEGAL ACTIVITIES

Appropriations, 2002....................................    $561,676,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................     645,299,000
Committee recommendation................................     579,495,000

    This appropriation funds the establishment of litigation 
policy, conduct of litigation, and various other legal 
responsibilities, through the Office of the Solicitor General, 
the Tax Division, the Criminal Division, the Civil Division, 
the Environmental and Natural Resources Division, the Civil 
Rights Division, the Office of Legal Counsel, and Interpol.
    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $579,495,000. 
The recommendation is $65,804,000 below the budget request. The 
Committee recommendation includes the fiscal year 2002 funding 
level, a 4.1 percent pay adjustment for Federal employees, 
Homeland Security related funding for the Criminal Division, 
and $1,996,000 for the administrative expenses associated with 
the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act [RECA], which was 
previously funded under a separate account.
    Radiation Exposure Compensation Act Administrative 
Expenses.--The recommendation includes $1,996,000 for the 
administrative expenses associated with the Radiation Exposure 
Compensation Act [RECA]. The Committee expects that additional 
resources required to process RECA will be absorbed from within 
other resources available to the Civil Division. This program 
was established to permit the payment of claims to individuals 
exposed to radiation as a result of atmospheric nuclear tests 
and uranium mining in accordance with the Radiation Exposure 
Compensation Act of 1990.
    Automated Litigation Support.--The administration requested 
$25,000,000 for automated litigation support for the Department 
of Justice tobacco lawsuit. The Committee notes that sufficient 
funding is already available for administering the litigation. 
The Committee also notes that the Department may use other 
accounts, as necessary, to fund automated litigation support 
and other needs, so that the Department may pursue this 
lawsuit.
    Courtroom technology.--To further enhance the presentation 
of evidence, as well as rapidly accelerate the pace of trials, 
the Committee recommendation provides $5,200,000 for courtroom 
technology to be distributed among the divisions on the basis 
of need.

               THE NATIONAL CHILDHOOD VACCINE INJURY ACT

Appropriations, 2002....................................      $4,028,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................       4,028,000
Committee recommendation................................       4,028,000

    This account covers Justice Department expenses associated 
with litigating cases under the National Childhood Vaccine 
Injury Act of 1986. The Committee recommends a reimbursement of 
$4,028,000 for legal costs. The recommendation is identical to 
the fiscal year 2002 funding level and the budget request.

                           Antitrust Division


                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

Appropriations, 2002....................................    $130,791,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................     137,799,000
Committee recommendation (including carryover)..........     133,133,000

    The Antitrust Division investigates potential violations of 
Federal antitrust laws, represents the interests of the United 
States in cases brought under these laws, acts on antitrust 
cases before the Supreme Court, and reviews decisions of 
regulatory commissions relating to antitrust law.
    The Committee recommendation assumes a total of 
$133,133,000 in budget (obligational) authority. The 
recommendation is $4,666,000 below the budget request. The 
Committee recommendation includes the fiscal year 2002 funding 
level and a 4.1 percent pay adjustment for Federal employees.

                             U.S. Attorneys


                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

Appropriations, 2002....................................  $1,410,338,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................   1,506,373,000
Committee recommendation................................   1,474,779,000

    This account supports the Executive Office for U.S. 
Attorneys [EOUSA] and the 94 U.S. attorneys offices throughout 
the United States and its territories. The U.S. attorneys serve 
as the principal litigators for the U.S. Government for 
criminal and civil matters.
    The Committee recommends an appropriation of 
$1,474,779,000. The recommendation is $31,594,000 below the 
budget request. The Committee recommendation includes the 
fiscal year 2002 funding level, a 4.1 percent pay adjustment 
for Federal employees, and program enhancements and the 
annualization of personnel related to Homeland Security. The 
Committee is aware that the U.S. Attorneys will receive 
$91,993,000 in reimbursements in fiscal year 2003. As in the 
past, Committee recommendations focus the efforts of the U.S. 
Attorneys on those crimes where the unique resources, 
expertise, or jurisdiction of the Federal Government can, or 
must, be most effective.
    IT Infrastructure.--The Committee recommends a total of 
$8,000,000 for the third and final phase of the overall 
telecommunications convergence initiative to implement Internet 
Protocol (IP) Technology. These funds will allow the U.S. 
Attorneys to improve performance, reliability, capacity, 
efficiency and security of the U.S. Attorneys' infrastructure 
by securely converging data, video, and voice transport over a 
single IP network.
    Fundamental Reform.--Last year, in an attempt to fix the 
U.S. Attorneys' resource allocation process, the Committee 
waived all previous congressional guidance to the U.S. 
Attorneys regarding initiatives and the designation of funds. 
In addition, the Committee requested that the EOUSA submit a 
report to the Committees on Appropriations on these proposed 
reforms no later than March 17, 2002. While the submitted 
report included a number of activities currently underway by 
EOUSA to determine whether the resource allocation process 
places attorneys where the workload demand dictates and where 
productive use of the resources is assured, the report provided 
no specific information about the implementation of actual 
reform. The Committee therefore requests the EOUSA to submit an 
updated status report on actions planned or taken for actual 
reform to the Committees on Appropriations not later than May 
15, 2003.
    Civil Defensive Litigation.--In light of the recent waiver 
of congressional designations of caseloads, the Committee does 
not recommend including additional resources specifically for 
civil defensive litigation. Rather, the Committee recommends an 
increase in the number of authorized positions and full-time 
equivalent workyears for the U.S. Attorneys. With this 
increase, the U.S. Attorneys may allocate resources as needed 
to better address the significant increase and complexity of 
cases in civil defensive litigation over the last several 
years.
    Courtroom technology.--The Committee recommendation 
provides $5,000,000 for additional personnel and training to 
support courtroom technology activities.
    Cyber Crime and Intellectual Property Enforcement.--The 
U.S. Attorneys shall report to the Committee not later than 
April 30, 2003 on the number of copyright law prosecutions 
undertaken in the preceding year, including those under Public 
Law 105-147, by type and location.
    Port Security Pilot Project.--The Committee remains 
concerned about security at U.S. seaports. The potential for 
crew members, passengers, and dangerous cargo to illegally 
enter the country and pose a threat to the country's security 
remains a harsh reality. The recommendation therefore includes 
$20,000,000 for four pilot projects to enhance security at our 
Nation's ports. Each of the pilot projects shall be coordinated 
under an Anti-terrorism Task Force and shall include Federal, 
State, and local law enforcement.
    Legal education.--The Committee recommendation provides 
$18,842,000 for legal education and distance learning at the 
National Advocacy Center [NAC] as requested by the 
Administration. If merited, the NAC may expand or include 
antiterrorism and cybercrime classes. In addition, the 
Committee includes an additional $6,000,000 to acquire, 
upgrade, and equip space from the University of South Carolina 
to expand, among other things, distance learning capabilities 
at the NAC. NAC State and local training funds are provided 
under the Office of Justice Programs.
    Violent crime task forces.--The Committee recommends an 
additional $1,000,000 within available resources to continue 
and expand task force activities associated with Operation 
Streetsweeper.

                        U.S. TRUSTEE SYSTEM FUND

Appropriations, 2002....................................    $147,000,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................     167,510,000
Committee recommendation................................     150,381,000

    The U.S. trustee system provides administrative support to 
expeditiously move bankruptcy cases through the bankruptcy 
process and ensures accountability of private trustees 
appointed to administer bankruptcy estates.
    The Committee recommends a total of $150,381,000 in budget 
authority. The recommendation is $17,129,000 below the budget 
request. The Committee recommendation includes the fiscal year 
2002 funding level and a 4.1 percent pay adjustment for Federal 
employees.
    The Committee recommendation includes not less than 
$750,000 for the Bankruptcy Training Center at the National 
Advocacy Center, in support of the Trustees' continuing 
education program.

                  FOREIGN CLAIMS SETTLEMENT COMMISSION

Appropriations, 2002....................................      $1,136,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................       1,136,000
Committee recommendation................................       1,136,000

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $1,136,000. 
The recommendation is identical to the fiscal year 2002 funding 
level and the budget request and fully provides for the 
adjudication of claims against: Germany relating to World War 
II; Cuba relating to the Castro regime; and Iraq relating to 
the U.S.S. Stark incident and Desert Shield/Storm.
    The Foreign Claims Settlement Commission settles claims of 
American citizens arising from nationalization, expropriation, 
or other takings of their properties and interests by foreign 
governments.

                         U.S. Marshals Service


                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

Appropriations, 2002....................................    $643,896,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................     700,343,000
Committee recommendation................................     673,146,000

    The U.S. Marshals Service is made up of 94 offices with the 
responsibility for the apprehension of fugitives, protection of 
the Federal judiciary, protection of witnesses, execution of 
warrants and court orders, and the custody and transportation 
of the accused and unsentenced prisoners.
    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $673,146,000. 
The recommendation is $27,197,000 below the budget request. The 
Committee recommendation includes the fiscal year 2002 funding 
level, less non-recurring costs, and includes full funding for 
both a 4.1 percent pay adjustment for Federal employees and 
$29,736,000 for Homeland Security initiatives.
    The Committee recommendations are displayed in the 
following table:

    The Committee expects to be consulted prior to any 
deviation from the above plan for fiscal year 2003. The 
Committee recommendations are discussed in more detail in the 
following paragraphs.
    The Committee recommendation includes $2,766,000 (excluding 
a $500,000 transfer from the Justice Detainee Information 
System) to improve and maintain the Warrant Information Network 
and to continue subscriptions to various government and private 
networks and on-line services and $3,300,000 for Electronic 
Surveillance Unit recurring costs.
    Courthouse Security Personnel.--The Committee is aware that 
the Marshals are manipulating vacancies to recover funds to 
cover shortfalls in other areas. Until the Marshals hire up to 
authorized levels, the Committee sees little reason to fund 
additional personnel. The Committee directs the Marshals to 
provide a report to the Committees on Appropriations describing 
the nature and extent of chronic shortfalls in their base 
budget. The report should be delivered not later than September 
15, 2002.
    Courthouse security equipment.--This account funds security 
equipment, furnishings, relocations, and telephone systems and 
cabling. The Committee recommendation provides $12,061,000 for 
courthouse security equipment. This equipment will outfit newly 
opening courthouses in the following locations:

    The Committee expects to be consulted prior to any 
deviation from the above plan for fiscal year 2003.
    The recommendation transfers funding for the Marshal's 
safety and health program from the ``Salaries and Expenses'' 
account to this subaccount.
    Fugitive apprehensions.--Last year, the Committee directed 
the Marshals to establish task forces in New York City and Los 
Angeles dedicated full-time to the pursuit of the most 
dangerous fugitives on the eastern and western seaboard. The 
Committee notes with concern that the annualization of costs 
for the two task forces appears inadequate. In addition, the 
Committee believes that the establishment of two additional 
centrally-managed fugitive task forces in the heartland is 
essential to properly cover fugitive caseload. Therefore, the 
Committee recommendation includes an additional $2,268,000 to 
fully annualize the two existing task forces, and $5,832,000 
for two new task forces, of which $3,856,000 is for the full 
year costs of 1811s and support staff on the task forces, 
$485,000 is for equipment and expenses, $335,000 is for State 
and local overtime and informant payments, and $1,155,000 is 
for permanent change of station moves. In addition, the 
Committee recommendation provides an increase of $5,500,000 
over the fiscal year 2003 request for electronic surveillance 
unit [ESU] personnel, training, and equipment, including 
funding for surveillance vans and light aircraft, bucket 
trucks, a central signal collection system, secure 
communications equipment, various tracking systems, and night 
vision equipment.
    Vehicles.--The Marshals Service's approach to fleet 
management is ``run to failure''. Though Federal guidelines 
call for replacing sedans after 3 years or 60,000 miles and 
SUVs after 4 years or 40,000 miles to avoid chronic problems 
with availability and excessive operations and maintenance 
costs, the Marshals have no fleet replacement cycle. As a 
result, deputies are chasing fugitives or transporting 
prisoners in vehicles whose unreliability pose an unnecessary 
risk to deputies. The Committee has scrutinized the Marshals' 
budget looking for low priority items that could be reduced or 
eliminated to free up resources for vehicle purchases. The 
Committee recommendation provides $10,424,000 for vehicle 
purchases. This shall be treated as a permanent increase to the 
base. None of these vehicles are to be assigned to 
headquarters.
    Information Technology.--The Committee was pleased by the 
generous allocation of Legal Activities Office Automation funds 
made available to the Marshals in fiscal year 2002, but was 
surprised by the absence of a request for recurring funds in 
fiscal year 2003. The Committee assumes this to have been an 
inadvertent oversight. Robust and continuing investments in 
information technology ensures that the state of the art system 
of today is not the antique of tomorrow. The Committee 
recommendation provides an increase of $10,564,000 for circuit 
costs, courthouse moves, licenses, help desk and other 
operations and maintenance costs, and technology refreshment. 
The Committee expects not less than $17,179,000 for information 
technology recurring costs to be included in the fiscal year 
2004 request as an adjustment to base.

Appropriations, 2002....................................     $24,125,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................      15,126,000
Committee recommendation................................      15,126,000

    This account funds construction, security, and furniture at 
existing courthouses. The Committee recommends an appropriation 
of $15,126,000. The Committee recommendation includes the 
fiscal year 2002 funding level, less non-recurring costs, and 
includes full funding for both a 4.1 percent pay adjustment for 
Federal employees and $13,273,000 for Homeland Security 
initiatives.
    The Committee is aware that a recently-conducted national 
survey of Federal courthouses revealed that 95 percent of 
prisoner holding and transit facilities have serious security 
deficiencies. Of 392 courthouses surveyed: 84 percent lack 
enough courtroom holding cells; 78 percent do not have secure 
prison elevators; 74 percent do not have enclosed sallyports; 
72 percent lack enough interview rooms; 57 percent do not have 
adequate cellblock space; and 38 percent lack cameras, 
monitors, and alarms.
    Years of neglect have created this deplorable situation, 
posing risks to the judicial family, the public, and the 
Marshals themselves. The Committee is intent on remedying 
courthouse deficiencies before a tragedy occurs. The Committee 
recommendations, by project, are displayed in the following 
table:

    The Committee considers this an important step in reducing 
the backlog of critical security-related projects. As with 
courthouse security equipment, the Committee expects to be 
consulted prior to any deviation from the above plan for fiscal 
year 2003.
    Construction engineering consultants.--The Committee is 
aware that the Marshals have been using funds allocated by 
Congress for consulting services on construction projects to 
pay the Federal salaries of 9 permanent employees hired in 
fiscal year 2000. Apparently, this diversion of funds was 
prompted by confusion over terms and dollar amounts used by the 
Marshals and Congress. The Committee expects the salaries of 
permanent employees to be paid out of the ``Salaries and 
Expenses'' account and the salaries for construction 
consultants to be paid out of this account. The Marshals are 
directed to report on the proper execution of the construction 
engineering funds not later than 30 days after enactment of 
this Act.
    Billings, MT.--The funds provided for construction for 
Billings shall only be available to renovate the Marshals 
Service space, including designated prisoner movement and 
holding areas, in the existing Federal courthouse, space 
previously occupied by the Bureau of Indian Affairs. No other 
proposals are to be considered.

            JUSTICE PRISONER AND ALIEN TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM

Appropriations, 2002....................................................
Budget estimate, 2003...................................................
Committee recommendation................................     $56,000,000

    This account funds prisoner air transportation operations 
and maintenance, aircraft procurement, and facilities.
    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $56,000,000. 
The recommendation is $56,000,000 above the budget request. As 
with other accounts that fund programs related to detention and 
incarceration, the Committee recommendation for the Justice 
Prisoner and Alien Transportation System [JPATS] deviates from 
the general philosophy underlying the recommendation. JPATS' 
per passenger pricing structure makes no provision for the 
capitalization of assets. The result is that large body 
aircraft responsible for prisoner movements will be flown until 
grounded for structural failure or other safety reasons. No 
replacements are planned. Therefore, unless Congress 
intervenes, the JPATS fleet will be allowed to diminish until 
no aircraft remain. Justice has no plan for dealing with the 
resulting crisis. Thus, in this case, the Committee 
recommendation has provided the funds necessary to avert 
disaster before it occurs.
    The funds provided will allow the Marshals to procure four 
modern, fuel efficient, wide body aircraft and spares to 
replace four first generation airliners that have reached the 
end of their useful service lives. The Marshals shall report to 
the Committees on Appropriations on its procurement strategy 
not later than November 15, 2002.

                       FEDERAL PRISONER DETENTION

Appropriations, 2002....................................    $706,182,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................................
Committee recommendation................................................

    No funds are requested or recommended under the Federal 
Prisoner Detention Program. The budget request met the 
Committee's recommendation last year by centralizing funding 
for detention activities within the Federal Prisoner Detention 
Program and the Immigration and Naturalization Service under 
the Department of Justice Detention Trustee. This 
recommendation is identical to the budget request.

                     FEES AND EXPENSES OF WITNESSES

Appropriations, 2002....................................    $156,145,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................     156,145,000
Committee recommendation................................     156,145,000

    This account provides for fees and expenses of witnesses 
who appear on behalf of the Government in cases in which the 
United States is a party, including fact and expert witnesses. 
These funds are also used for mental competency examinations as 
well as witness and informant protection.
    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $156,145,000. 
The recommendation is identical to the fiscal year 2002 funding 
level and the budget request.

                      COMMUNITY RELATIONS SERVICE

Appropriations, 2002....................................      $9,269,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................       9,364,000
Committee recommendation................................       9,474,000

    The Community Relations Service [CRS] provides assistance 
to communities and persons in the prevention and resolution of 
disagreements relating to perceived discriminatory practices.
    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $9,474,000, 
which is $110,000 above the budget request. The Committee 
recommendation includes the fiscal year 2002 funding level and 
a 4.1 percent pay adjustment for Federal employees.

                         ASSETS FORFEITURE FUND

Appropriations, 2002....................................     $22,949,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................      22,949,000
Committee recommendation................................      22,949,000

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $22,949,000. 
The recommendation is identical to the fiscal year 2002 funding 
level and the budget request. This account provides funds to 
supplement existing resources to cover additional investigative 
expenses of the FBI, DEA, INS, and U.S. Marshals, such as 
awards for information, purchase of evidence, equipping of 
conveyances, and investigative expenses leading to seizure. 
Funds for these activities are provided from receipts deposited 
in the assets forfeiture fund resulting from the forfeiture of 
assets. Expenses related to the management and disposal of 
assets are also provided from the assets forfeiture fund by a 
permanent indefinite appropriation.

                    Radiation Exposure Compensation


                        ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

Appropriations, 2002....................................      $1,996,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................       1,996,000
Committee recommendation................................................

    No funds are recommended under this account. Rather, full 
funding for the administration expenses of the Radiation 
Exposure Compensation Fund is provided under the Civil Division 
of General Legal Activities.

                      Interagency Law Enforcement


                 INTERAGENCY CRIME AND DRUG ENFORCEMENT

Appropriations, 2002....................................    $338,577,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................     362,131,000
Committee recommendation................................     347,102,000

    The Interagency Crime and Drug Enforcement Program, through 
its 9 regional task forces, utilizes the combined resources and 
expertise of its 11 member Federal agencies, in cooperation 
with State and local investigators and prosecutors, to target 
and disband major narcotics trafficking and money laundering 
organizations.
    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $347,102,000. 
The recommendation is $15,029,000 below the budget request. The 
Committee recommendation includes the fiscal year 2002 funding 
level and a 4.1 percent pay adjustment for Federal employees.
    Special Operations Division Generated Wiretap 
Investigations.--The recommendation includes $6,774,000 to 
enhance the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force's 
[OCDETF's] capability to conduct complex, multi-district 
investigations developed from the Special Operations Division 
[SOD] intelligence and coordination, in order to target and 
dismantle significant drug trafficking organizations. Of that 
amount, $6,050,000 shall be for critical DEA field office 
staffing in areas of the country with the largest drug supply 
and $724,000 shall be for the Criminal Division of General 
Legal Activities to establish an electronic surveillance 
tactical support group consisting of attorneys and paralegals 
that can be sent on short-term deployments to U.S. Attorney 
offices that require assistance in conducting electronic 
surveillance in OCDETF investigations.
    State and Local Overtime.--Overtime for State and local law 
enforcement officers who support OCDETF investigations has 
traditionally been funded by the Department of Justice Assets 
Forfeiture Fund (AFF). This year, OCDETF has included 
$8,000,000 in its request for State and local overtime out of 
concern that declining AFF receipts will be insufficient to 
cover these costs. The Committee supports the role of State and 
local law enforcement with OCDETF, but believes the AFF remains 
the proper source of funding for overtime. Should funds not be 
available for this purpose within AFF, the Committee will 
entertain a reprogramming request from an alternative source of 
funding.
    To ensure that the Immigration and Naturalization Service 
[INS] only seeks reimbursable funds if INS agents are actually 
performing task force work, the INS is directed to match at 
least 25 percent of each reimbursable dollar from their direct 
appropriation on Organized Crime and Drug Enforcement Task 
Force cases before they can be reimbursed from this account.

                    Federal Bureau of Investigation


                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

Appropriations, 2002....................................  $4,236,073,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................   4,202,587,000
Committee recommendation................................   4,202,587,000

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of 
$4,202,587,000. The recommendation is identical to the budget 
request. The Committee recommendation includes the fiscal year 
2002 funding level, less non-recurring costs, and includes full 
funding for both a 4.1 percent pay adjustment and $493,330,000 
for homeland security initiatives and related personnel. The 
Committee is aware that up to $103,300,000 in uncommitted 
carryover will be available to apply to this account and 
expects that new found efficiencies (``elimination of sixth 
men'') will free up additional resources.
    The Committee recommendation highlights the following 
initiatives:
    Intelligence Production.--The recommendation includes an 
additional $7,731,000 to enhance headquarters and field office 
analytical capabilities to support the FBI's counterterrorism 
program, including 20 headquarters Intelligence Research 
Specialists [IRSs] and 90 field IRS positions. IRSs provide 
time-sensitive analyses in support of investigations/operations 
and programmatic issues and strategic analyses aimed at 
identifying investigative priorities. Expertise in 
understanding current and projected terrorism threats shall be 
a prerequisite for these positions.
    Hazardous Materials Response Capabilities.--Now more than 
ever, law enforcement personnel must be properly trained and 
equipped to encounter crime scenes where hazardous materials 
may be present. The Committee therefore includes an additional 
$9,333,000 for the FBI's Hazardous Materials Response Unit 
(HMRU) and an additional $3,272,000 for the Hazardous Devices 
School (HDS).
    The HMRU provides an integrated approach to ensuring the 
safe and effective response to criminal acts and incidents 
involving hazardous materials, including specialized response 
teams, a national training program, interagency liaison, 
technical assistance to FBI field and Headquarters divisions, 
and the development of field response programs. The Unit 
trains, equips, and certifies FBI field office personnel for 
hazardous materials operations.
    The HDS prepares public safety bomb technicians (BTs) to 
locate, identify, render safe, and dispose of improvised 
hazardous devices, including those containing explosives, 
incendiary materials, and materials classified as weapons of 
mass destruction (WMD). The program also includes training in 
the use of specialized equipment and protective clothing needed 
for the safe disposal of explosive materials. These funds will 
provide additional courses for BTs and provide necessary 
operations and maintenance funding associated with practical 
training villages.
    Evidence Response Team Program.--The Evidence Response Team 
Program (ERTP) provides management and training for field 
personnel who are responsible for providing forensic and crime 
scene services. These personnel must respond to case 
investigations with the most current techniques, procedures, 
and equipment to ensure that critical evidence is identified 
and gathered for forensic analysis. The recommendation includes 
an additional $5,722,000 for personnel, training, field office 
supplies, equipment, surveying stations, underwater equipment 
and contractor support, physicals, canine evidence recovery, 
and technology assisted search team operational travel and 
equipment.
    Cybercrime and Intellectual Property Enforcement.--Twenty-
five percent of the software produced in the United States has 
been copied illegally in violation of U.S. copyright laws. 
Other industries have similarly suffered from high rates of 
counterfeiting, including pharmaceuticals, automobile 
manufacturing, videos and music. The estimate of lost revenue 
to such industries exceeds $300,000,000,000 annually. The 
Committee provides $10,000,000 of available resources for the 
vigorous pursuit of Federal copyright law violations.
    Federal Convicted Offender Program.--The recommendation 
includes an additional $867,000 for the Federal Convicted 
Offender (FCO) Program. Last year, the FCO Program's authority 
to collect DNA samples was expanded to include additional 
crimes of violence and terrorism-related offenses. This funding 
will support 5 positions to manage and type Federal convicted 
offender samples, purchase equipment, and fund additional 
expenses related to this effort.
    Polygraph Program.--In the past, the FBI only conducted 
polygraphs on new employees and individuals with access to 
certain sensitive programs or cases. The recommendation 
includes an additional $6,804,000 to expand the FBI's polygraph 
program to include periodic polygraph examinations for 
individuals who have broad access to the FBI's most sensitive 
information and for employees leaving for and returning from 
permanent foreign assignments.
    Serial rapists.--The Violent Criminal Apprehension Program 
[ViCAP] has proven valuable in pursuing serial killers by 
fusing evidence across cases and jurisdictions. The Committee 
believes that expanding ViCAP to include sexual assault cases 
would greatly improve the ability of law enforcement at all 
levels to identify, capture, and prosecute serial rapists. 
Therefore, the Committee recommendation includes $1,005,000 to 
expand ViCAP to include rape cases.
    Forensic research.--The FBI Laboratory's forensic research 
spending plan for fiscal year 2002 was very impressive. The 
Committee is aware that the FBI Laboratory still has a long 
list of unfunded research projects. The Committee 
recommendation includes an increase of $8,056,000 over last 
year's level to fund the highest priority forensic research 
proposals submitted to the Committee as part of the fiscal year 
2002 spend plan. The FBI shall report back to the Committees on 
Appropriations on the disposition of these resources not later 
than February 1, 2003.
    Center for Forensic Services in Indian Country.--Forensic 
services supporting general criminal investigations in Indian 
Country are currently provided through a patchwork of forensic 
support systems that do not adequately serve the needs of 
Federal and Tribal criminal justice systems. Most of Indian 
Country lacks timely examination of forensic evidence which has 
crippled investigators, prosecutors and the courts. The 
Committee recommendation therefore includes $6,000,000 to 
establish and operate a Center for Forensic Services in 
Albuquerque, New Mexico to be managed by the FBI Laboratory. 
The Center shall provide high-quality evidence examination, 
crime scene training, and other forensic services to 
investigators and prosecutors in Federal and Tribal cases 
throughout Indian Country.
    Mitochondrial DNA.--The Committee recommendation includes 
$4,000,000 to maintain or establish 4 regional mitochondrial 
DNA [mtDNA] forensic labs in affiliation with the FBI 
Laboratory. The labs will analyze mtDNA from human remains or 
other evidence to assist law enforcement in the identification 
of missing persons or perpetrators. Affiliation with the FBI 
Laboratory ensures that uniform standards and procedures are 
maintained by all of the participating laboratories doing mtDNA 
analysis. The Committee notes that the four scientists and 
technicians required to oversee regional mtDNA labs were funded 
last year, but the labs themselves were not.
    Investigative data warehousing.--Investigative data 
warehousing is phase II of Trilogy, the FBI's computer 
modernization initiative. Phase I of Trilogy will fuse into an 
enterprise database, the so-called Virtual Case File [VCF], a 
handful of key legacy databases, currently stovepiped, that are 
central to the day-to-day investigatory and intelligence 
gathering activities of the Bureau. Investigative data 
warehousing will migrate an additional 34 priority, highly 
specialized legacy databases, also currently stovepiped, into 
the VCF. This program is essential for the FBI to fully access 
its collected data. The Committee recommendation includes 
$50,300,000 for investigative data warehousing. Knowing the 
magnitude of this project, the Committee looks forward to 
regular updates on its progress. The first briefing shall occur 
within 30 days of the enactment of this Act and shall address 
in detail the execution plan for fiscal year 2003.
    Information assurance.--The Committee has been very 
impressed by the comprehensive approach to, and rapid 
development of, information assurance capabilities at the 
Bureau. A series of wide ranging and very comprehensible 
briefings provided excellent insight into the program's scope, 
capabilities, and goals. The Committee recommendation includes 
$18,435,000 to continue information assurance initiatives 
undertaken last year. The Committee expects that the ``one stop 
shopping'' information desk for security customers will be 
fully operational by the end of the fiscal year. The Committee 
recommendation also includes $29,738,000 for the Enterprise 
Security Operations Center [ESOC]. With the lack of information 
included in the FBI's budget request about the ESOC, funding 
was provided only as a result of a candid and thorough briefing 
at the unclassified level. The Committee notes the necessity of 
total disclosure to ensure funding for initiatives.
    Security and Exchange Commission Threat Assessment.--The 
Committee directs the Force Protection Unit of the Security 
Division to conduct a threat assessment of the Security and 
Exchange Commission to ensure the safety of its employees. The 
FBI shall submit a report to the Committees on Appropriations 
on its findings not later than March 15, 2002.
    Collaborative capabilities.--The Committee recommendation 
includes $11,000,000 for collaborative capabilities. 
Collaborative capabilities are phase III of Trilogy. 
Collaborative capabilities will open the FBI's heretofore 
closed, classified computer network to other Federal, State, 
and local law enforcement and intelligence agencies. There is 
concern with this effort. An open network is inherently 
vulnerable to attack. Fortunately, Internet cafe, a stand-alone 
system for web access, should provide the Bureau with time to 
perfect a secure, shared network. The Committee believes that 
extensive lab testing followed by thorough piloting is 
essential to the success of this initiative. The Committee 
looks forward to observing lab and field demonstrations at 
every critical milestone in the development of collaborative 
capabilities.
    Analytical tools for data mining and visualization.--The 
Committee is familiar with the demonstrated value of these 
software tools and has provided money in the past for the 
acquisition of earlier versions. The Committee recommendation 
provides $5,000,000 for analytical tools. The Committee directs 
the Bureau to provide the Committees on Appropriations with a 
detailed spend plan that shall not require Congressional 
approval after it has decided how best to use the funds 
provided.
    Internet cafe.--The Committee is aware that the FBI is 
wrestling with the risks of opening its previously closed 
computer network to the Web. The Committee is fully aware that 
no security system can fully protect its host from threats on 
the Internet. Still, an enormous amount of freely- or 
commercially-available information can be found on the Web that 
could prove very useful in pursuing criminal or national 
security investigations. As an interim measure, the Bureau has 
requested funds to establish stand alone access to the Web, 
referred to as Internet cafes. The Committee considers this a 
prudent step. The recommendation includes $3,620,000 for 
Internet cafes. The Bureau shall provide a report to the 
Committees on Appropriations on the distribution and use of 
Internet cafes not later than May 1, 2003.
    Physical Surveillance Program.--As the FBI expands its 
efforts to collect intelligence about potential domestic and 
international terrorists groups and respond to threats against 
the United States and other extraordinary incidents, the need 
for surveillance technology and equipment grows. The 
recommendation includes an additional $5,137,000 for 
development, deployment, and support of core technologies 
associated with tracking and locating, mobile surveillance, and 
design and fabrication capabilities.
    Tactical Operations.--Court ordered tactical operations 
only serve as an effective investigative tool if the FBI has 
the resources to address emerging technologies, such as 
advanced digital communications, command and control and 
computers, radio frequency communications and data links, and 
sophisticated encryption. The Committee therefore includes in 
its recommendation an additional $12,612,000 for research and 
development and for engineering to support ongoing and new 
strategic initiatives directed against new technologies posed 
by the high-technology industries.
    Special Operations Division.--As noted elsewhere, the 
Committee has rejected the proposal to fund regular operations 
out of the Counterterrorism Fund, an account designed solely to 
provide the Justice Department needed flexibility in the days 
immediately following a catastrophe. Therefore, the Committee 
recommendation includes $35,000,000 under this account for FBI 
reimbursements to the Drug Enforcement Administration [DEA] for 
intelligence derived from the Special Operations Division. The 
Committee directs the Bureau to provide a full accounting of 
its reimbursements to the DEA not later than December 1, 2003.
    Re-enginering the workforce.--The FBI request for 
additional analysts and technological enhancements highlights 
the Bureau's shift from a manpower-intensive to an information-
intensive approach to intelligence gathering and crime 
fighting. However, this shift has come, thus far, without a 
comprehensive approach to human capital investment. The 
Director's stated priorities: counterterrorism [CT], 
counterintelligence [CI], and cybercrime [``cyber''], will 
require marked shifts in the skills of the Bureau workforce. A 
far more diversified workforce of scientists, engineers, 
technicians, analysts, support, and other staff, as well as 
agents, will be required. To maintain and enhance proficiency 
of this new workforce during the current information and 
technology revolution, employees will need constant field 
exposure and continual inservice training and education to keep 
skills finely honed. For that reason, the Bureau must develop 
and maintain a manpower master plan that, at a minimum, 
includes an analysis of, and justification for: (1) the proper 
mix of agent, specialist, and support personnel in foreign and 
domestic field offices and headquarters at the squad, unit, 
section, and division levels, (2) mandatory, substantive 
inservice training programs of at least 40 hours per year for 
all personnel that include both in-house, other Federal, and 
private training and development opportunities, (3) career 
paths for personnel in specialized areas, especially CT, CI, 
cyber, and security, with an emphasis on lifetime commitment to 
specialization, (4) the proper balance of personnel versus 
capital investments to ensure that Bureau employees are 
properly equipped with the essential tools of their particular 
trade, and (5) a deployment strategy that maximizes the 
benefits of professional cross-pollination between highly 
specialized personnel. The report shall be completed not later 
than December 31, 2003. The Bureau shall provide a progress 
report to the Committees on Appropriations by July 1, 2003 and 
shall provide the Committees with a final copy of the plan upon 
completion.
    The remaining funds provided in the Committee 
recommendation are intended to address a variety of requested 
homeland security initiatives and to cover the costs of 
lingering unmet needs associated with the events of September 
11, 2001. Release of these funds shall be subject to the 
submission and approval of a spend plan or spend plans in 
keeping with section 605 of this Act.
    Aviation.--The FBI is directed to submit a 5-year aviation 
master plan that includes: (1) current fleet assets by type, 
(2) logged flight hours by aircraft/helicopter, (3) projected 
useful service life remaining (under what assumptions) by 
aircraft/helicopter, (4) missions by aircraft/helicopter type, 
(5) utilization of current fleet assets, by mission type, for 
the last 5 years by year, (6) basing, by aircraft/helicopter 
locations. The plan should also discuss the costs and benefits 
of maintaining versus replacing current fleet assets through 
2008, maldeployments or other causes of underutilization of 
current fleet assets, if applicable, and capabilities of 
current fleet assets versus current and projected mission 
requirements. The report shall be delivered not later than 
December 3, 2002.
    Rapid Deployment Logistics Unit.--The Rapid Deployment 
Logistics Unit [RDLU] was created outside the Committee's 
purview through an internal reallocation of resources. The 
number and composition of Rapid Deployment Teams [RDTs] were 
settled by the Bureau without the Committee's insight or input. 
To date, the Committee has never received a briefing on the 
RDLU or RDTs. That being so, the Committee expects the FBI to 
submit a comprehensive report on the purpose of the RDLU, the 
capabilities of the RDLU and RDTs, and the personnel and 
equipment requirements of both for the next 5 years, by year.
    Joint Terrorism Task Force.--The Bureau is seeking to 
quadruple the amount of funding available for Joint Terrorism 
Task Forces [JTTFs]. The increased funding would be used for 
space to house JTTFs and backfill the FBI slots transferred to 
JTTFs. The FBI's goal is to establish a JTTF in every field 
office by the end of fiscal year 2003. The value of JTTFs, both 
in general and relative to their cost, remains open to debate 
as does the value of having JTTFs in 56 locations. Since JTTFs 
are now competing with Regional Terrorism Task Forces, Anti-
Terrorism Task Forces and the Foreign Terrorist Tracking Task 
Force, not to mention the Counterterrorism Division, for 
resources to meet the same mission, a thorough review of the 
program is in order. The Bureau is directed to submit a report 
to the Committees on Appropriations that, at a minimum, 
includes a thorough discussion of JTTF caseload over the last 5 
years by type (domestic/foreign), offense(s), and disposition 
(referred for prosecution, prosecuted, convicted, etc.) on a 
task force by task force basis. The report should also include 
an explicit discussion of threats in existing or proposed JTTF 
locations. The report shall be delivered not later than October 
30, 2002.
    National Infrastructure Protection Center.--A March 2001 
report on computer intrusion squad training, promotion, and 
retention has yet to be delivered to the Committee on 
Appropriations. As a result, almost $20,000,000 in NIPC funding 
remains on hold until the Bureau presents a reasonable plan for 
its use. The Committee expects a reasonable plan regarding 
these funds to be submitted to, and approved by, the Committees 
on Appropriations by September 30, 2002. In addition, the 
Committee recommendation includes $17,221,000 for phase II of a 
three phase research and development initiative being run by 
the STAU.
    Emergency communications.--The FBI has established a 
requirement for the Critical Response Unit [CRU] to respond to 
five crisis sites simultaneously with state-of-the-art secure 
communications equipment and personnel. How this requirement 
was arrived at is unknown. It is also unclear how the CRU's 
communications suite integrates with that of the Foreign and 
Domestic Emergency Support Teams, the Hostage Rescue Team, the 
Critical Incident Response Group, the Strategic Information & 
Operations Center, Special Weapons & Tactics Teams, and a host 
of other specialized units, all of which have communications 
suites of their own. The Committee presumes that communications 
gear deployed by the CRU is fully interoperable with that of 
all other emergency response units it is charged with 
supporting and that duplication of gear between units has been 
eliminated. Therefore, the Bureau is directed to submit a CRU 
communications master plan to the Committees on Appropriations 
not later than January 15, 2003 that: (1) outlines in detail 
the criteria that must be met for the CRU to deploy, (2) 
justifies in detail the five simultaneous crisis sites 
requirement, and (3) outlines in detail the personnel and non-
personnel needs of the CRU for the next 5 years by year. The 
plan shall be delivered not later than November 1, 2002.
    Technically Trained Agents.--The Committee has been 
supportive of Technically Trained Agents [TTAs], though the 
Committee has differed with the Bureau on priorities. The 
Committee continues to believe that properly equipping and 
training TTAs is a higher priority than simply adding more 
bodies. As justification material accompanying the request for 
50 new positions notes, one-third of TTAs are probationary. 
Clearly, TTAs need more seasoning. The Bureau is directed to 
report on its strategy for using intense supervision and 
continuing in-service training and education to compensate for 
the distinct lack of experience in its TTA force. The report 
shall be delivered not later than January 1, 2003.
    Budget restructuring.--As part of the spend plan or plans 
described above, the Committee expects the FBI to adopt a new 
budget structure premised on seven decision units: (1) 
Counterterrorism, (2) National Security, (3) Cyber-
investigations, (4) Criminal Enterprises & Federal Crimes, (5) 
Forensic & Technical Services, (6) Field Support, and (7) 
Criminal Justice Services. The Committee understands that an 
on-going review of classification issues will preclude the need 
for any decision unit totals to be rolled up in the formal 
budget submission or any supporting documents. The Committee 
congratulates the Bureau on this breakthrough.
    Last year, the Committee concluded that the FBI's inability 
to respond swiftly to changing patterns of crime was in part 
attributable to an antiquated budget structure that did little 
to protect the Director's strategic priorities, ease management 
of high risk programs, or provide the transparency necessary 
for effective Congressional oversight.
    The new structure, all but identical to last year's 
proposed restructuring, will: (1) focus FBI resources on the 
Director's top three priorities, (2) elevate and sustain a 
number of longstanding Congressional priorities, (3) afford 
field-level managers the flexibility to use their workforce to 
maximum advantage in addressing local criminal investigatory 
priorities, (4) consolidate the funding of a number of 
mutually-supportive initiatives that are currently scattered 
across multiple decision units, and (5) eliminate the current 
artificial isolation of a number of cross-cutting functions and 
activities.
    The Committee believes that the new budget structure will 
significantly enhance FBI performance and commends the Bureau 
for its support in developing this proposal.

Appropriations, 2002....................................     $33,791,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................       1,250,000
Committee recommendation................................       1,250,000

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $1,250,000. 
The recommendation is identical to the fiscal year 2002 funding 
level, less non-recurring costs, and to the budget request.

                    Drug Enforcement Administration


                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

Appropriations, 2002....................................  $1,481,783,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................   1,545,919,000
Committee recommendation................................   1,530,470,000

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of 
$1,530,470,000. The recommendation is $15,449,000 below the 
budget request. The Committee recommendation includes the 
fiscal year 2002 funding level, a 4.1 percent pay adjustment 
for Federal employees, and $24,683,000 for requested Homeland 
Security program increases.
    The Committee recognizes the crucial role DEA plays in the 
drug war. As the world's leading drug enforcement agency and 
the only single-mission Federal agency dedicated to drug law 
enforcement, DEA has developed the unique capability of 
identifying, targeting, investigating, and disrupting or 
dismantling drug organizations. DEA's mission has taken on a 
new significance since the terrorist attacks on September 11, 
2001. Drug enforcement is critical to protecting our national 
security as it eliminates the financial base of criminal 
organizations and deprives them of drug proceeds that may be 
used to fund terrorist acts.
    Enhancements.--The recommendation provides $24,683,000 for 
DEA's requested Homeland Security enhancements for information 
security and anti-terrorism security measures. None of these 
funds shall be obligated until a spend plan has been submitted 
to and approved by the Committees on Appropriations.
    Information security.--The DEA is seeking funds to initiate 
an information security program. While the Committee applauds 
this effort, the Committee sees little benefit in re-inventing 
the wheel. The FBI has just completed a thorough review of its 
information security needs, and has undertaken wide-ranging 
improvements noteworthy for their simplicity and cost 
effectiveness. Prior to the release of funds for the DEA's 
information security program, the DEA shall sign with the head 
of the FBI's Security Division and the Chief Information 
Officer of the Justice Department a memorandum of understanding 
[MOU] that charges the latter two signatories with providing 
technical assistance to DEA program managers with an emphasis 
on no- or low-cost government- or commercial-off-the-shelf 
solutions. The Committee expects to be briefed on the details 
of DEA's plan, the contents of the MOU, and FBI and Justice 
contributions to a successful rollout not later than 60 days 
after the signing of the MOU.
    Financial Investigations.--The Committee also provides 
$4,121,000 for financial investigations to increase efforts to 
target drug organizations that finance terrorist activities. 
Additional personnel shall work closely with Federal, State, 
and local law enforcement as well as private and regulatory 
sectors of the financial community to identify individuals and 
institutions for investigation, and identify money laundering 
techniques employed by terrorists. Additional personnel and 
emphasis shall be placed in the following locations: Denver, 
Colorado, Wilmington, Delaware, Chicago, Illinois, New York 
City, New York, Charleston, South Carolina, and Dallas, Texas.
    Overseas Offices.--While DEA repeatedly defends its 
presence overseas, very little effort has been made to monitor 
and evaluate the need for all of these foreign offices after 
they have been opened. The DEA is therefore directed to submit 
a report to the Committees on Appropriations that provides the 
productivity level, workload, and mission for each existing 
overseas office no later than February 15, 2002. The report 
shall include a review and rightsizing proposal for each of the 
overseas offices to ensure that the most urgent needs are being 
met with the limited resources available.
    Integrated Drug Enforcement Assistance.--The Committee is 
pleased with the Administrator's new initiative for drug 
prevention and treatment, known as Integrated Drug Enforcement 
Assistance [IDEA]. IDEA is a coordinated anti-drug plan that 
combines law enforcement with intensive community follow-up 
designed to reduce drug demand. IDEA teams DEA agents with 
State and local law enforcement to arrest and prosecute drug 
traffickers within designated communities, and then forms 
coalitions to reduce demand through drug prevention and 
treatment. The recommendation provides $5,926,000 to expand 
IDEA. The DEA is directed to report back to the Committees on 
Appropriations on how it intends to use these funds not later 
than January 30, 2003.
    Aviation assets.--Helicopters and light aircraft play an 
essential role in the covert surveillance, pursuit, and capture 
of drug traffickers. The Committee understands that the DEA's 
aging fleet of air assets has entered a deadly spiral of low 
availability and high maintenance hours, and costs, per flight 
hour. The Committee recommendation provides $6,336,000 for 
single engine light enforcement helicopters. The DEA is 
directed to report back to the Committees on Appropriations on 
how it intends to use these funds not later than January 30, 
2003.
    Methamphetamine lab clean-up.--The Committee remains 
alarmed by the public health and safety menace posed by 
methamphetamine labs. The by-products of methamphetamine 
production: anhydrous ammonia, ether, sulfuric acid, and other 
toxins are volatile, corrosive, and poisonous. Often, lab 
operators secrete these waste products in abandoned or little-
used buildings in populous areas to hide evidence or dump them 
in rivers and streams to eliminate evidence. Danger of 
explosion is real and the potential for serious environmental 
contamination well documented. Therefore, the Committee 
recommendation includes $20,000,000 that shall only be 
available to reimburse the DEA and States and localities for 
the costs associated with assisting in, or undertaking, the 
removal and disposal of hazardous materials at clandestine 
methamphetamine labs.
    Drug Enforcement Equipment.--The effectiveness of DEA 
agents is threatened by shortfalls and delays in the 
distribution of critical equipment. The Committee believes that 
agents must have state-of-the-art equipment in order to stay 
ahead of or merely keep pace with that of drug traffickers. The 
Committee recommendation therefore provides $4,733,000 for high 
priority equipment. The DEA is directed to report back to the 
Committees on Appropriations on how it intends to use these 
funds not later than January 30, 2003.
    Northern New Mexico Anti-Drug Initiative.--The Committee 
acknowledges the need for a focused response to illegal drug 
trafficking in northern New Mexico and expects the DEA to 
continue to devote sufficient resources to this problem in 
cooperation with other Federal law enforcement agencies.
    ``Drug Diversion Control Fee'' Account.--The Committee has 
provided $87,771,000 for DEA's Drug Diversion Control Program. 
The Committee recommendation includes the fiscal year 2002 
funding level and a 4.1 percent pay adjustment for Federal 
employees.
    The Committee notes that the request included an additional 
$24,616,000 for program enhancements based on an unresolved 
Final Rule. The draft rule proposing a fee increase to support 
these enhancements has not been published yet and is not 
expected to be published until December 5, 2002. Moreover, the 
earliest new collections could begin is July 1, 2003, 2 months 
prior to the end of fiscal year 2003. The request clearly 
precipitates the ability of the DEA to collect the fees to 
support these program increases.
    Should the DEA determine that these enhancements more 
accurately reflect the mission of the Drug Diversion Control 
Program than current activities, the DEA may redirect existing 
resources within this account through the reprogramming 
process.

Appropriations, 2002....................................  $3,821,240,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................   3,765,247,000
Committee recommendation................................   3,765,247,000

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of 
$3,765,247,000. The recommendation is identical to the budget 
request.
    The Committee recommendation includes the fiscal year 2002 
funding level, less non-recurring costs, and includes a 4.1 
percent pay increase and $947,983,000 for Homeland Security 
program increases and related personnel. The Committee is aware 
that up to $51,366,000 in carryover will be available to apply 
to this account and expects that new found efficiencies 
(``elimination of sixth men'') will free up additional 
resources.
    Border Patrol Staff and Equipment.--Since the terrorist 
attacks on September 11, 2001, the security of our borders has 
become paramount. To ensure there are sufficient personnel to 
protect our borders, the Committee recommendation includes an 
additional $76,276,000 for 570 additional Border Patrol agents, 
as authorized, and $25,000,000 to transfer 285 experienced 
Border Patrol agents to the Northern border. Along with 
additional personnel, the recommendation includes an additional 
$28,000,000 to enhance the Enforcement Case Tracking System 
[Enforce] database and to deploy additional biometric equipment 
to better document and track the investigation, identification, 
apprehension, detention, and/or removal of immigration law 
violators.
    Entry-exit system.--The Committee has begun to analyze the 
full implications of the Enhanced Border Security and Visa 
Entry Reform Act of 2002, the USA Patriot Act of 2001, the Visa 
Waiver Permanent Program Act of 2000, the Immigration and 
Naturalization Service Data Management Improvement Act of 2000, 
the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act 
of 1996, and the Immigration Act of 1990 on travel to and from 
the United States by Americans and foreigners. In brief, to 
fully implement laws currently on the books, it will be 
necessary for every traveler leaving or entering the United 
States, be they U.S. citizens or not, to be fingerprinted and 
to carry a machine-readable, tamper-proof travel document with 
at least one unique biometric identifier. Information on all 
travelers, including biographical information, biometrics, and 
entry and exit dates, will be retained within a central 
database, readily available to Federal, State, and local law 
enforcement agencies. Mandatory interviews for visa applicants 
will be required to provide necessary intelligence information 
and certain aliens will be required to register periodically 
(reciprocity being the hallmark of diplomacy, it should be 
expected that similar requirements would be imposed on U.S. 
citizens seeking visas for travel abroad). Cost estimates to 
properly implement the current body of law runs into the tens 
of billions of dollars. While the Committee includes the 
$362,000,000 requested for the Entry-exit system, it is unclear 
what this system is or will become, and how it will address 
these expansive directives. Accordingly, no funds shall be 
obligated or expended until a spend plan has been submitted to 
and approved by the Committees on Appropriations.
    Pay Upgrades.--Attrition rates among Border Patrol agents 
and INS inspectors is at an all time high. To help address this 
ever increasing crisis, the Committee recommendation includes 
an additional $37,200,000 for new and recurring costs for a 
Border Patrol pay increase from GS-9 level to GS-11 level for 
journeymen with 1 year of successful work experience and 
$20,600,000 for a pay increase for INS inspectors with 1 year 
of successful work experience at the GS-9 level.
    Land Border Inspectors.--The recommendation includes 
$34,000,000 to hire, train and deploy 460 additional 
immigration inspectors that will enhance border security at 
land border ports-of-entry.
    Staffing Levels.--The Committee notes that INS staffing 
levels at the Santa Teresa and Columbus Ports of Entry in New 
Mexico are not sufficient to meet the needs of those ports. In 
particular, through non-commercial traffic has significantly 
increased over the past year at Santa Teresa, yet INS staffing 
has not kept pace. The Committee urges the INS to give full 
consideration to the needs of the New Mexico ports when making 
staffing decisions.
    The Committee is aware of a growing number of illegal 
aliens in Iowa and Illinois. The Committee directs the INS to 
review the INS law enforcement needs of the Quad Cities, a 
metropolitan area incorporating the Iowa communities of 
Davenport and Bettendorf, and the Illinois communities of 
Moline and Rock Island.
    In addition, the Committee recognizes the heavy and 
increasing workload in northwest Arkansas, and encourages the 
INS to establish a sub-office with an officer-in-charge in Fort 
Smith, Arkansas.
    Alternatives to Detention.--The Committee recommendation 
includes $7,300,000 for the Alternatives to Detention Program. 
This funding will support community-based organizations to 
screen asylum seekers and other INS detainees for community 
ties, provide them with necessary services, and help to assure 
their appearance at court hearings.
    Legal Orientation Programs.--The Committee recommends 
$2,800,000 for non-governmental agencies to provide ``live 
presentations'' to persons in INS detention prior to their 
first hearing before an immigration judge. These presentations 
will provide immigration detainees with essential information 
about immigration court procedures and the availability of 
legal remedies to assist detainees in distinguishing between 
meritorious cases and frivolous cases.
    Information Resource Management.--The Committee 
recommendation includes an additional $83,400,000 for an 
``interoperable law enforcement and intelligence data system'' 
for the INS, referred to as Chimera, within a separate account 
under General Administration to be managed by the Justice 
Management Division.
    Green Cards.--The Committee is aware that resident aliens 
in the United States are using over 2,000,000 green cards with 
no expiration date. These documents do not have the secure 
features of the optical memory cards currently used as green 
cards, and thus could be subject to extensive counterfeiting 
and represent a major impediment to securing the nation's 
borders. The Committee directs the INS to submit a report not 
later than February 1, 2003 to the Committees on Appropriations 
with the number of green cards currently issued with no 
expiration date, the original date they were issued, as well as 
a proposed plan to replace these older green cards.
    The recommendation also includes $6,544,000 for the Debt 
Management Center, $16,289,000 for the Law Enforcement Support 
Center, and an additional $100,000,000 to address shortfalls in 
vehicles and equipment.

                       OFFSETTING FEE COLLECTIONS

    As in past years, the Committee directs the INS to allocate 
funding for base activities before it undertakes any program 
enhancements.

                          IMMIGRATION USER FEE

    The Committee recommends a spending level of $658,295,000, 
the full amount requested.
    To the degree that fee resources are available, the 
Committee includes an increase of $51,503,000 over fiscal year 
2002 for 760 additional inspectors and support staff for 
inspections operations at airports and seaports, as well as an 
increase of $368,000 for additional attorneys to respond to an 
increasing caseload.
    INS Inspector Staffing.--The Committee recommends the INS 
give full consideration to the needs of the Miami International 
Airport and the Ed McNamara Terminal Northwest Airlines World 
Gateway when making airport inspector staffing decisions.

                      IMMIGRATION EXAMINATIONS FEE

    The Committee recommends a spending level of 
$1,462,803,000, the full amount requested.
    To the degree that fee resources are available, the 
Committee recommendation includes an increase of $50,496,000 to 
accelerate the pace of efforts to reduce the time required to 
adjudicate immigration benefit applications. With this funding, 
the INS claims it will be able to attain a 6-month national 
average for the processing of all benefits applications and 
ensure application processing and related services are timely, 
consistent, fair and of high quality.

                      BREACHED BOND/DETENTION FUND

    The Committee recommends a spending level of $171,275,000, 
the full amount requested.
    Detention and Removals.--The Committee recommendation 
includes $50,069,000 for the planning and construction of 
additional detention bed space. This funding will address the 
increasing number of apprehended illegal aliens, which 
consistently exceeds available detention space.

Budget estimate, 2003...................................     267,138,000
Committee recommendation................................     265,443,000

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $265,443,000. 
The recommendation is $1,695,000 below the budget request. The 
Committee recommendation includes the fiscal year 2002 funding 
level, a 4.1 percent pay adjustment for Federal employees, and 
$145,000,000 for requested Homeland Security program increases.
    The recommendation includes $250,000 for the construction 
of an INS processing and office facility in Nome, Alaska.

                         Federal Prison System

    Because of the compulsory legal requirements for detention 
and incarceration, the Committee has broken with the general 
philosophy underlying the recommendation for this account. The 
funds to manage the growing prisoner population, including the 
costs of bed space, food, and health care, are by their very 
nature mandatory expenses. The recommendation therefore makes 
an exception and covers the minimum costs projected for these 
spending categories.

                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

Appropriations, 2002....................................  $3,808,600,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................   4,081,765,000
Committee recommendation................................   4,083,237,000

    The Committee recommends total budgetary resources of 
$4,083,237,000 for the salaries and expenses of the Federal 
prison system for fiscal year 2003. The recommendation is 
$1,472,000 above the budget request.
    Activation of new prisons.--The Committee recommendation 
includes funding for activation of four new facilities which 
will add 4,416 beds: FCI Gilmer, West Virginia, USP Big Sandy, 
Kentucky, USP McCreary County, Kentucky, and USP Victorville, 
CA. The Committee also recommends activation funding for 
expansions at USP Marion, Illinois and FCI Safford, Arizona. 
These two expansions will add nearly 800 beds.
    Female inmates.--The Committee supports the National 
Institute of Corrections' continuing work with correctional 
systems (State and Federal) to address the issue of staff 
sexual misconduct involving female inmates in correctional 
institutions through the provision of technical assistance, 
education and training, and other monitoring activities 
pursuant to the recommendations of the General Accounting 
Office.

                        BUILDINGS AND FACILITIES

Appropriations, 2002....................................    $813,552,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................     395,243,000
Committee recommendation................................     500,221,000

    The Committee recommends a total of $500,221,000 for fiscal 
year 2003 for the construction, modernization, maintenance, and 
repair of prison and detention facilities housing Federal 
prisoners. This amount is $104,978,000 above the budget 
request.
    The Committee continues to strongly support the BOP's 
construction program, designed to provide sufficient inmate 
beds to manage overcrowding in facilities and maintain them in 
a safe and secure manner for staff, inmates and surrounding 
communities. The funding provided for facilities includes:

      Total New Construction Program Increases..........     260,809,000

    The Committee commends the BOP for working diligently to 
increase inmate housing capacity by expanding existing 
facilities within available funds. The Committee fully supports 
these cost effective efforts and expects the BOP to continue 
its reprogrammings and funds transfer requests in a timely 
manner to expedite these construction projects.

                    Federal Prison Industries, Inc.


                (LIMITATION ON ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES)

Appropriations, 2002....................................      $3,429,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................       3,429,000
Committee recommendation................................       3,429,000

    This Committee recommends a limitation on administrative 
expenses of $3,429,000 for the Federal Prison Industries, Inc. 
This amount is equal to the fiscal year 2002 funding level and 
to the amount requested.
    The Committee continues to strongly support Federal Prison 
Industries [UNICOR] and recognizes its importance in the 
efficient and safe management of Federal prisons. UNICOR 
provides prison inmates with the opportunity to learn important 
work habits, participate in meaningful employment which keeps 
them productively occupied during work hours, and develop 
improved job skills which reduce recidivism. The Committee also 
recognizes the necessity for UNICOR to grow as the inmate 
population increases. Finally, UNICOR is a self-supporting 
revolving fund the resources of which are derived from sales of 
its products. In the future, the BOP is directed to submit only 
UNICOR's appropriations language exhibit.

      Total justice assistance..........................   2,242,057,000

    National Institute of Justice (NIJ).--The Committee 
recommends an appropriation of $64,879,000. The recommendation 
is $13,422,000 below the budget request and $10,422,000 above 
the fiscal year 2002 level. In addition, $20,000,000 will be 
provided to NIJ in fiscal year 2003 from the local law 
enforcement block grant for assisting local units to identify, 
select, develop, modernize, and purchase new technologies for 
use by law enforcement. NIJ is the Nation's primary source of 
research and development in the field of criminal justice.
    In particular, the Committee commends the efforts and 
leadership of NIJ's Office of Science and Technology (OS&T). 
NIJ's OS&T has assisted local law enforcement in making 
significant advances in the areas of nonintrusive, concealed 
weapons and contraband detection, vehicle stopping, DNA 
testing, officer protection, less-than-lethal incapacitation, 
information management, counterterrorism, crime mapping, 
location and tracking, secure communications, and noninvasive 
drug detection. The Committee directs that OS&T receive no less 
than the amounts provided in fiscal year 2002, notwithstanding 
any fiscal year 2003 increases for the National Law Enforcement 
and Corrections Technology Center (NLECTC) program.
    The National Law Enforcement and Corrections Technology 
Centers.--Since 1994, the National Law Enforcement and 
Corrections Technology Centers (NLECTC) have served the State 
and local law enforcement and corrections communities by 
providing support, research findings, and technical expertise 
on issues that allow them to perform their jobs safer and more 
effectively. The NLECTC system consists of facilities located 
across the country and each facility specializes in one or more 
specific areas of research and development. The Committee 
commends the work that NIJ's Office of Science and Technology 
(OST), and through it the NLECTC system, has done to improve 
the capabilities of the law enforcement and corrections 
communities. To further the work of the NLECTC system, the 
Committee recommends $22,000,000 for the continued support of 
the system. The Committee directs that none of the increases 
provided for the NLECTC shall be used to supplant OS&T's 
existing budget. Within available funds, the Committee 
recommends that NIJ consider funding the Center for Civil Force 
Protection and the Public Safety Technology Assessment Facility 
at Sandia National Laboratories in New Mexico. The Center 
provides important physical security counterterrorism 
assistance to Federal, State, and local law enforcement. Of the 
amount provided, the Committee directs that funds be 
distributed in the following manner to the six Regional 
Centers:

The National Law Enforcement and Corrections Technology Regional Centers

                        [In thousands of dollars]

                                                                  Amount

Northeast Regional Center.....................................     3,000
Southeast Regional Center.....................................     3,000
Rocky Mountain Regional Center................................
Western Regional Center.......................................     3,000
Rural Law Enforcement Technology Center.......................     3,000
Northwest Center..............................................     3,000
                    --------------------------------------------------------------
                    ____________________________________________________

      Total for Regional Centers..............................    18,000

    In addition to the above activities, within the amounts 
provided, NIJ is to provide grants for the following projects:
  --$750,000 for Lane County, Oregon's Breaking the Cycle of 
        Juvenile Drug Abuse program to decrease juvenile crime 
        and drug abuse through early identification and 
        intervention;
  --$1,500,000 is for the Center for Task Force Training 
        Program;
  --$750,000 to the North Carolina Attorney General's Office 
        for Telemarketing Fraud Enforcement and Privacy 
        Project; and
  --$650,000 for the Mistral Security Non-Toxic Drug Detection 
        and Identification Aerosol Technology.
  --$350,000 for the Pennsylvania Task Force on Prison 
        Overcrowding;
  --$750,000 for Operation Ceasefire in Charleston, SC for 
        overtime for response teams.
    Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS).--The Committee 
recommends an appropriation of $32,335,000. The BJS is 
responsible for the collection, analysis, and publication of 
statistical information on crime, criminal offenders, victims 
of crime, and the operations of the Nation's justice systems.
    Office of Victims of Crime.--The Office of Victims of Crime 
(OVC) administers formula and discretionary grants designed to 
benefit victims, provide training to professionals who work 
with victims, develops projects to enhance victims' rights and 
services, and undertakes public education and awareness 
activities on behalf of crime victims. In fiscal year 2002, OVC 
was provided $68,100,000 to respond to the September 11, 2001 
terrorist attacks. The Committee directs that the OVC provide a 
report to the Committee no later than December 31, 2002 on the 
status of how the emergency funds have been spent.
    Missing Children Program.--The issue of child exploitation 
has been raised to the forefront of the national conscience due 
to the recent string of child pornography and missing children 
cases that have been highlighted in the media over the last few 
months. The Committee continues to strongly support the Missing 
and Exploited Children Program run by the Bureau of Justice 
Assistance. The Committee recommends $29,000,000 to continue 
and expand efforts to protect the nation's children, especially 
in the areas of locating missing children, as well as the 
growing wave of child sexual exploitation found on the 
Internet.
    Within the amounts provided, the Committee has included the 
following:
    (1) $12,500,000 to expand the Internet Crimes Against 
Children Task Forces (ICAC Task Force). These task forces 
assist State and local law enforcement agencies in acquiring 
the knowledge, equipment, and personnel resources necessary to 
successfully prevent, interdict, and investigate cases of child 
exploitation on the Internet.
    (2) $12,500,000 for National Center for Missing and 
Exploited Children (NCMEC). The NCMEC is the clearinghouse and 
national resource center regarding the issue of missing and 
exploited children. Last year the Center accepted over 155,000 
hotline calls from law enforcement, prosecutors, and citizens 
requesting information or services. The Center also assisted in 
the recovery of more than 5,000 missing, abducted, and runaway 
children.
    In addition, the Committee created the CyberTipline under 
the NCMEC in fiscal year 1999. The CyberTipline provides online 
users an effective means of reporting Internet-related child 
sexual exploitation in the areas of distribution of child 
pornography, online enticement of children for sexual acts, and 
child prostitution. Within the amounts provided for the NCMEC, 
the Committee recommends $2,245,000 for the continuation of the 
Cybertipline.
    (3) $3,000,000 for the Jimmy Ryce Law Enforcement Training 
Center for training of State and local law enforcement 
officials investigating missing and exploited children cases.
    Regional Information Sharing System (RISS).--The Committee 
recommends an appropriation of $28,278,000. The RISS program 
provides funds to maintain six regionally-based information 
sharing centers which allow for information and intelligence 
services to be disseminated nationwide addressing major, multi-
jurisdictional crimes. The Committee supports the current 
effort to link the RISS system with the Law Enforcement On-Line 
(LEO) information system, which will greatly expand access to 
critical law enforcement information at the Federal, State, and 
local level.
    Management and Administration.--The Committee provides 
$40,335,000 for management and administration of the Bureau of 
Justice Assistance account. The Committee directs that the 
current hiring freeze that has been placed on the Office of 
Justice Programs (OJP) be lifted and that OJP actively fill all 
authorized vacant positions. Furthermore, the OJP is directed 
to provide quarterly reports to the Committee on the status of 
its hiring process.
    The Office of Domestic Preparedness.--The Committee has 
long viewed State and local jurisdictions' ability to detect, 
prevent and respond to a terrorist attack as one of its highest 
priorities. State and local responders are first to arrive on 
the scene when a terrorist attack occurs and must be prepared 
to protect life and property. This function is inherently non-
Federal, although Federal resources and expertise are needed to 
manage the crisis and provide support to State and local assets 
when an attack overwhelms their resources.
    The recommendation demonstrates the Committee's continued 
support for the Office of Domestic Preparedness (ODP). ODP must 
continue its vital and successful program for assisting State 
and local response agencies. Continued funding to ODP is more 
critical now than ever, given the unprecedented threat to our 
National security that we currently face. Responding to an act 
of terrorism is manifestly different than responding to natural 
disasters. Grouping terrorism preparedness and response, 
especially as it concerns weapons of mass destruction (WMD), 
under an emergency management ``all hazards'' approach puts our 
first responders, as well as the general public, at risk. 
Treating both types of catastrophe response in the same manner 
does not account for the fundamental differences between the 
national security/law enforcement response to terrorism and the 
emergency management response to terrorism.

      Total, Office of Domestic Preparedness..................2,038,000 

    The recommendation includes $60,000,000 for State Strategic 
Planning. This funding will allow States to begin formalizing 
their planning for homeland security that will be headed by the 
homeland security offices established by the Governors. ODP is 
directed to work with the States reassess their response 
capabilities and to update and enhance their Three-Year 
Statewide Domestic Preparedness Strategies in fiscal year 2003. 
In updating and enhancing their Strategies, States are expected 
to consult with local governments regarding the scope, design, 
and allocation of resources. Also, of the funds provided, 
$5,000,000 is for ODP to continue a pilot project to develop a 
comprehensive, interactive web site to support the Nation's 
State and local first responders and disseminate to them a wide 
spectrum of critical information needed for domestic 
preparedness.
    Equipment.--The recommendation includes $1,128,000,000 for 
the equipment grant program managed by the Office of Domestic 
Preparedness (ODP). This program provides funding to enhance 
the capabilities of State and local jurisdictions to respond to 
and mitigate the consequences of terrorist attacks. The 
Committee urges ODP to work with the States to develop 
procedures which expedite the awarding of equipment grants. The 
Committee does not support the concept of requiring States to 
match equipment grants funds in order to qualify for funding 
under this program.
    Of the funds provided for equipment, the recommendation 
includes $1,047,000,000 for grants to the States based on their 
approved Three-Year Statewide Domestic Preparedness Strategies. 
These funds are available to all States on a formula basis, as 
authorized by section 1014 of the USA PATRIOT ACT, (Public Law 
107-56). Also of the funds provided for equipment, $10,000,000 
is recommended to continue and expand ODP's successful mobile 
equipment training program at Pine Bluff Arsenal. The 
augmentation of this program will be required because of the 
significant increases in funding for equipment for first 
responders provided in this Act. Also of the funds provided for 
equipment, $15,000,000 is for the development of standards for 
personal protective, decontamination, detection, and 
communications equipment. These types of equipment are lacking 
in operational standards for use in a WMD incident. Also within 
the funds provided for equipment, $1,000,000 is for the 
Interagency Board (IAB) to continue its efforts to develop 
equipment standards. The IAB was established by the Justice 
Department in 1999 to advise and make recommendations to the 
Attorney General on matters concerning first responder 
equipment and standards. Also of the funds provided for 
equipment, $20,000,000 is for ODP's Prepositioned Equipment 
(POD) Program. This program has established sets of 
prepositioned equipment designated to be deployed immediately 
to the scene of a terrorist attack for use by first responders. 
This funding will provide for the maintenance and operational 
costs of the 11 equipment pods currently funded under this 
program. Also of the funds provided for equipment, $5,000,000 
is recommended for the purchase and operation of an equipment 
pod that can be strategically positioned during designated 
National Security Special Events (NSSE). This pod will provide 
specialized equipment for 150 responders to immediately 
replenish equipment that is lost, damaged, or destroyed during 
a WMD attack at a NSSE. Also of the funds provided for 
equipment, $15,000,000 is for the development of an Emerging 
Equipment Demonstration and Test-bed Program. This program is 
designed to rapidly deploy new and emerging technologies into 
the field for true operational testing. This program will help 
bring state-of-the-art technologies to first responders in the 
field. Finally, $15,000,000 is recommended for technical 
assistance for State plans.
    Training.--The recommendation includes $503,000,000 for ODP 
for first responder training programs. Of the funding provided 
for training, $190,000,000 is for the continuation and 
expansion of the training currently underway at the existing 
Consortium training centers. Of this amount, the Center for 
Domestic Preparedness shall receive $50,000,000; Louisiana 
State University, New Mexico Institute for Mining and 
Technology, Texas A&M University, and the Nevada Test Site 
shall each receive $35,000,000.
    The Three-Year Statewide Domestic Preparedness Strategies 
exposed a ``preparedness gap'' in this Nation. That is, the 
number of individuals that must receive training before we can 
consider ourselves prepared for terrorism involving WMD is 
considerable. However, in order to provide training to greater 
numbers of responders, additional capacity must be built. Also 
of the funding provided for training, $10,000,000 shall be used 
to continue an already-established program between Dugway 
Proving Ground and the National Domestic Preparedness 
Consortium (NDPC) to develop and deliver advanced bio-terrorism 
training utilized the Dugway Proving Ground's specialized 
facility.
    The Committee further expects that, with the funding 
provided, ODP will develop and implement a comprehensive and 
aggressive training standardization program. This should 
include the establishment of training standards for each of the 
key public safety disciplines involved in terrorism response. 
The Committee expects that all current and future training will 
adhere to these standards, once developed.
    New Training Centers.--Of the funds provided, $60,000,000 
shall be to establish new training centers. Decisions 
concerning the establishment of the new training centers shall 
be made by ODP in consultation with the Committees on 
Appropriations.
    Dartmouth Institute for Information Infrastructure 
Protection.--Of the funds provided, $18,000,000 is recommended 
for the Institute for Information Infrastructure Protection 
(I3P), a consortium of not-for-profit and academic research 
institutions (including national laboratories operated by 
private contractors) managed and led by the Institute for 
Security Technology Studies at Dartmouth College. Within this 
amount, $15,000,000 is for grants. The I3P will collaborate 
with the Office of Science and Technology Policy, the 
President's Critical Infrastructure Protection Board, other 
relevant government agencies, and the private sector to develop 
a prioritized national research and development (R&D) agenda in 
cyber security and information infrastructure protection (IIP). 
It will also fund research to address R&D priorities identified 
by the I3P agenda and leadership, and promote collaboration and 
information sharing among cyber security and IIP research 
institutions in academia, industry, and government.
    Oklahoma City National Memorial Institute for the 
Prevention (MIPT).--Of the funds provided, $18,000,000 is 
recommended for MIPT. MIPT's Best Practices/Lessons Learned 
Knowledge Base is an Internet repository where emergency 
responders can share best practices, observations, and lessons 
learned to improve our ability to combat terrorism on U.S. 
soil. It will provide a forum for responders in every State, 
Territory, and community across the United States. This 
information sharing will allow trend analysis to strengthen 
civilian responder training programs, identify equipment 
shortfalls, and focus research agendas.
    Exercises.--The recommendation includes $272,000,000 for 
ODP to assist State and local jurisdictions in planning and 
conducting WMD exercises to test and validate their terrorism 
response plans and make determinations regarding future needs. 
Based on its pre-September 11 review of the Statewide 
Strategies, ODP estimated that more than 2,500 State and local 
jurisdictions needed to conduct WMD exercises. Within the 
amount provided for exercises, $200,000,000 is for grants to 
meet critical combating terrorism exercise needs identified in 
the Three-year Statewide Domestic Preparedness Strategies. 
These grants will provide the resources to properly design, 
develop, conduct, and evaluate performance-based exercises 
under a State-administered multi-year exercise program.
    In May, 2000, ODP ran the highly successful ``Top 
Officials,'' or ``TOPOFF'', exercise. This was an exercise 
series which provided a cycle of performance-based exercises 
for Federal, State, and local officials and first responders. 
TOPOFF demonstrated coordinated National crisis and consequence 
management capabilities in response to a range of WMD threats. 
The Committee recommends $15,000,000 for the continuation of 
the TOPOFF series, with TOPOFF II scheduled to take place in 
May, 2003. TOPOFF II involves 9 major exercise activities, 
culminating in a full-scale National exercise.
    Within the funds made available for exercises, $5,000,000 
is for the Federal, State, and local (FSL) exercise program. 
This program integrates regional homeland security activities 
through a comprehensive cycle of exercises. This program's 
particular emphases is on rural homeland security, multi-State 
emergency management assistance compacts (EMACS), and multi-
jurisdictional mutual aid agreements (MAAs).
    For the continuation of the Nunn-Lugar-Domenici (NLD) 
Domestic Preparedness Program, the Committee recommends 
$10,000,000 for the NLD Chemical and Biological Improved 
Response Program (IRP) to conduct analysis and evaluations of 
response improvements, including doctrine, plans, policies, 
procedures, protocols, equipment, and exercises to address 
terrorism involving chemical or biological weapons.
    Federal, State, and local participation in national-level 
combating terrorism exercises is hampered by inadequate and 
uneven funding. This results in incomplete or diminished 
participation, thwarting effective analysis of combating 
terrorism preparedness. Of the funds made available for 
exercises, $8,000,000 shall be to establish an exercise fund, 
to be administered by ODP, to ensure full participation by key 
Federal, State, and local entities in national-level combating 
terrorism exercises. For periodic exercises required to test 
and evaluate pod deployment and use, the Committee recommends 
$3,000,000. Also, $3,000,000 is recommended for Cross Border 
exercises with Mexico and Canada.
    Due to the scope, pace, and complexity of the National 
exercise program, $5,000,000 is recommended for an evaluation 
program. This program will allow ODP to conduct evaluations of 
programs and program activities conducted in support of 
existing ODP training, exercise, technical assistance, and 
equipment programs.
    For emerging exercise needs, $3,000,000 is recommended. The 
Committee directs ODP to conduct a comprehensive review of 
government and commercial exercise and simulation applications 
and methodologies. This will augment the capacity of State and 
local jurisdictions to effectively address their exercise 
requirements.
    Also within funds made available for exercises, $20,000,000 
is for specialized technical support to assist States and local 
jurisdictions in administering multi-year combating terrorism 
exercise programs. This assistance shall consist of direct 
technical support to States and local jurisdictions for 
exercise design, development, and evaluation, and the conduct 
of performance-based exercises.
    Technical assistance.--The recommendation includes 
$50,000,000 for the Office of Domestic Preparedness' technical 
assistance and planning support for the States. The Committee 
directs ODP to provide targeted, site-specific assistance to 
local jurisdictions. Of this amount, $7,000,000 is to develop a 
pilot program to field and evaluate strategies for assessing 
and reducing vulnerabilities at events involving large 
concentrations of people in both urban and rural environments. 
This program should establish generic vulnerability assessment 
tools for State and local government self-assessments, provide 
assistance for the application of such tools in support of 
State and local public and private entities responsible for 
coordinating such events, work with event coordinators, 
emergency managers, and first responders to expose 
vulnerabilities via exercises and simulations, identify, field, 
and evaluate emerging technologies and structural procedures to 
mitigate vulnerabilities; prepare and circulate a newsletter 
that describes and evaluates the performance of emerging 
technologies, evaluate overall vulnerability assessment program 
impacts, and transition ``lessons learned'' in support of State 
and local planning activities.
    Management and administration.--The Committee recommends 
$20,000,000 for the Office of Domestic Preparedness to manage 
the expansion of its domestic preparedness programs, as 
directed in this Act.

      Total, State and local law enforcement assistance.      1,827,715 

    Local law enforcement block grant.--The Committee 
recommendation includes $400,000,000 to continue the local law 
enforcement block grant program which provides grants to 
localities to reduce crime and improve public safety. Of the 
amounts provided, $20,000,000 will be provided to NIJ to assist 
local units to identify, select, develop, modernize, and 
purchase new technologies for use by law enforcement. The 
recommendation for funding for the local law enforcement block 
grant continues the commitment to provide local governments 
with the resources and flexibility to address specific crime 
problems in their communities.
    Boys and Girls Clubs.--Within the amounts provided for the 
local law enforcement block grants, the Committee recommends 
$80,000,000 for the Boys and Girls Clubs. The Committee 
commends Boys and Girls Clubs of America for its effort to 
reach all children who are in need of support and affirmation.
    Indian Country Grants.--The recommendation provides 
$48,000,000 for Indian Country grants. Of this amount, 
$8,000,000 is to assist tribal governments in the development, 
enhancement, and continuing operation of tribal judicial 
systems by providing resources for the necessary tools to 
sustain safer and more peaceful communities and to implement 
Section 201 of title II of the Indian Tribal Justice Technical 
and Legal Assistance Act of 2000, and $35,000,000 is for Indian 
Country Prison Construction. The Committee understands that the 
Comprehensive Indian Resources for Community Law Enforcement 
(CIRCLE) initiative is working well in three Indian communities 
in which it is deployed. The Committee urges the department to 
consider ways to expand the CIRCLE project into other 
communities. In addition, the Committee requests that not later 
tan June 15, 2003, the Department submit a proposal to expand 
the CIRCLE project by integrating and coordinating resources 
from across the Federal agencies for purposes of Indian law 
enforcement, public safety, substance abuse, tribal justice 
systems, and facilities construction into a small grant program 
to Indian tribes and tribal consortia.
    Within the amount for prison construction, the Committee 
directs that grants be provided for the following projects:
  --$5,000,000 to the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in South Dakota 
        for a Juvenile Detention and Recovery Facility;
  --$2,900,000 to the Yankton Sioux Tribe in South Dakota for 
        the construction of a Juvenile Detention Facility;
  --$900,000 to the Lower Brule Sioux Tribe for the 
        construction of a detention facility.
    Edward Byrne Grants to States.--The Committee 
recommendation provides $594,000,000 for the Edward Byrne 
Memorial State and Local Law Enforcement Assistance Program, of 
which $94,000,000 is for discretionary grants and is 
$500,000,000 for formula grants.
    Within the amount provided for formula grants, the 
Committee expects the Bureau of Justice Assistance [BJA] to 
provide:
  --$12,000,000 for the continuation of Project HomeSafe for 
        safety packets which include a gun locking device and 
        information on how to handle and store guns safely. 
        These safety packets are distributed by the foundation 
        at no charge to any municipality that adopts the 
        program. The Committee continues to expect that no 
        funds be obligated for this purpose until at least an 
        interim gun lock standard is adopted to ensure that the 
        locks being distributed are not vulnerable to 
        accidental or intentional disengagement. In addition, 
        the Committee expects that a final gun lock standard be 
        adopted no later than March 1, 2003.
  --$4,500,000 for the motor vehicle title information system, 
        as authorized by the Anti-car Theft Improvement Act.

    Drug courts.--The Committee recommends $50,000,000 for drug 
courts. The Committee notes that localities can also access 
funding for drug courts from the Local Law Enforcement Block 
Grant and Juvenile Accountability Block Grant. In addition, the 
Committee directs OJP to provide a report to the Committee no 
later than December 31, 2003, on the long term sustainability 
of the drug courts being established under this program.
    Juvenile accountability incentive block grant.--The 
Committee recommends $249,450,000 for the Juvenile 
Accountability Incentive Block Grant Program to address the 
growing problem of juvenile crime by encouraging 
accountability-based reforms at the State and local level.
    Violence Against Women Act programs.--The Committee 
recommends $390,565,000 for grants to support the Violence 
Against Women Act. Grants provided under this recommendation 
are for the following programs:

      Total, VAWA programs..............................    390,565,000 

    The fiscal year 2003 funding will be used to develop and 
implement effective arrest and prosecution policies to prevent, 
identify, and respond to violent crimes against women, 
strengthen programs addressing stalking, and provide much 
needed victims services. This includes specialized domestic 
violence court advocates who obtain protection orders. In 
addition, programs should be strengthened to encourage 
reporting of domestic violence by providing assurances that law 
enforcement and attorney support systems would be available. 
This funding is to be distributed to States to significantly 
enhance the availability of services, prosecutors, and law-
enforcement officials to women and children who are subjected 
to domestic violence. The fiscal year 2002 Senate Report 
required the Department to submit a report detailing a plan to 
address violence against women with particular emphasis on 
Alaska which ranks first in the Nation for domestic violence 
and child abuse. The report was to be completed by May 1, 2002, 
but has yet to be received by the Committee. The Department is 
directed to provide monthly updates on its progress until the 
report is completed as required.
    Substance abuse treatment for State prisoners.--The 
Committee recommends $70,000,000, for the Residential Substance 
Abuse Treatment Program for State Prisoners [RSAT]. The RSAT 
Program provides financial and technical assistance to assist 
State and local governments in developing and implementing 
residential treatment programs within State and local 
correctional and detention facilities in which inmates are 
incarcerated for a period of time sufficient to permit 
substance abuse treatment. Consistent with the authorizing 
statute, States must agree to require drug testing of 
individuals enrolled in the treatment program and give 
preference to projects that assist in the placement of program 
participants with community-based aftercare services, such as 
parole supervision, education and job training, and halfway 
houses. In addition, as in fiscal year 2002, up to 10 percent 
of the total program level maybe used for the treatment of 
parolees. These grants should only fund treatment for 
individuals up to 1 year after they are released from a State 
prison.
    Safe Return Program.--The Committee recommends $900,000 to 
continue and expand training of law enforcement and other 
emergency response personnel to locate missing Alzheimer 
patients.
    Law enforcement family support programs.--The Committee 
recommendation provides $1,500,000 for this program to assist 
Federal, State, and local law enforcement agencies in 
developing and implementing policies and programs to reduce 
stress and provide appropriate support services for law 
enforcement officers and their families.
    Senior citizens against marketing scams.--The 
recommendation provides $2,000,000 for this program to assist 
law enforcement in preventing and stopping marketing scams 
against the elderly. The Committee requests that some program 
sessions be held at the National Advocacy Center. Also, the 
Committee directs that this effort be coordinated with the 
Federal Trade Commission.
    Motor Vehicle Theft Prevention.--The recommendation 
provides $1,300,000 for grants to combat motor vehicle theft.

                         WEED AND SEED PROGRAM

Appropriations, 2002....................................     $58,925,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................      58,925,000
Committee recommendation................................      58,925,000

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $58,925,000. 
The recommendation is identical to the budget request.
    The Committee also recommends bill language, similar to 
that included in previous fiscal years, making funds available 
for grants or agreements with State agencies or to reimburse 
Federal agencies in order to execute the weed and seed 
strategy, and also allows for the use of other Department of 
Justice funds to support the Weed and Seed Program.

                  COMMUNITY ORIENTED POLICING SERVICES

                    VIOLENT CRIME REDUCTION PROGRAMS

Appropriations, 2002....................................  $1,050,440,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................   1,381,034,000
Committee recommendation................................   1,062,628,000

    The Committee recommends $1,062,628,000 for the Community 
Oriented Policing Services (COPS). The recommendation is 
$319,234,000 below the budget request, which included 
$800,000,000 for the proposed Justice Assistance Grant Program 
that was to be transferred to OJP and that the Committee does 
not fund. The Committee provides funding under this account as 
follows:

Public Safety and Community Policing Programs

    COPS Hiring Program.--The Committee recommends $330,000,000 
for the COPS hiring program. Within the amounts available for 
officer hiring, up to $180,000,000 is available for the hiring 
of school resource officers. To date, the COPS Office has made 
over 32,700 grants to more than 12,400 of the Nation's 18,000 
law enforcement agencies. Through its hiring grant programs, 
COPS has funded over 114,000 officers, including 4,500 School 
Resource Officers. The Committee does not support the 
Administration's proposal of eliminating the COPS hiring 
programs. There continues to be a need at the State and local 
level for additional law enforcement officers, especially in 
light of the fact that the nation's first responders are now 
recognized as the front line of defense against future 
terrorist attacks.
    The Committee also recognizes that State and law 
enforcement agencies depend on technology and communications 
equipment to perform their jobs safely and effectively. 
Therefore, the Committee includes language for a new 
communications technology grant program under the COPS Crime-
Fighting Technologies section of this report.
    Protecting our children.--Terrorists have the ability to 
confront the United States with contingencies we have never 
considered. One such contingency involves our children. 
Therefore, the Committee provides $10,000,000 for training to 
assist school resource officers in preventing acts by predatory 
adversaries involving weapons aimed at significant school 
populations. The officers will be trained in non-intrusive 
defensive measures taken to reduce the vulnerability to 
terrorist attacks and offensive measures taken to prevent, 
deter, and respond to terrorism. The Committee directs that a 
report be provided to the Committees on Appropriations no later 
than January 1, 2003 on the spending plan for this effort.
    Training and Technical Assistance.--The COPS Office has 
created a network of Regional Community Policing Institutes 
(RCPIs) that are strategically located throughout the country 
and make up a national network that disseminates training and 
technical assistance to officers and community members on a 
diverse array of issues, including community policing, the 
effective use of computers and communications technology, and 
police integrity. To date, more than 173,000 law enforcement 
personnel and community members have been trained through the 
RCPI network and the Community Policing Consortium. The 
Committee recommendation includes $21,000,000 for COPS to 
continue providing training and technical assistance to the law 
enforcement community.
    Indian Country.--The Committee recommendation includes 
$40,000,000 to be used to improve law enforcement capabilities 
on Indian lands and native villages, both for hiring uniformed 
officers, including village public safety officers, and for the 
purchase of equipment and training for new and existing 
officers. The Committee recommends that 5 percent of the COPS 
funds be provided directly to tribal judicial systems to assist 
Tribal courts with the increased caseload associated with the 
increased arrests as a result of the additional funds for 
tribal law enforcement.
    Police Corps.--The Committee recommends $15,000,000 for the 
Police Corps Program. The Committee understands that the Police 
Corps program has sufficient unobligated balances available to 
allow the program to maintain its activities in fiscal year 
2003 at the prior year level.
    Methamphetamine Enforcement and Clean-Up.--The Committee 
recommends $45,000,000 for State and local law enforcement 
programs to combat methamphetamine production and distribution, 
to target drug ``hot spots,'' and to remove and dispose of 
hazardous materials at clandestine methamphetamine labs. Since 
fiscal year 1998, COPS has provided $141,900,000 in funding to 
more than 60 State and local law enforcement agencies to hire 
personnel, purchase equipment, and clean-up labs, as well as 
obtain training in methamphetamine related interdiction 
tactics, investigation, and prosecution.
    Within the amounts provided, the Department is expected to 
review, in consultation with DEA, the following proposals, 
provide grants if warranted, and report to the Committees on 
its intentions:
  --$500,000 for personnel, training, and equipment under the 
        Arizona Methamphetamine Initiative;

        prevent theft by manufacturers of methamphetamine;
  --$250,000 for the Jackson County, Mississippi Sheriff's 
        Department to combat methamphetamine;

  --$3,500,000 for the Missouri Drug Eradication Initiative, to 
        be divided among Missouri's 29 drug task forces. This

        methamphetamine project;

        Sevier Region Methamphetamine Project;
  --$500,000 for the Iowa Office of Drug Control Policy to 
        combat the spread of methamphetamine in south central

        lab clean-up operations;
  --$1,000,000 to the Vermont Department of Public Safety to

recommendation includes $26,000,000 to continue this program 
for formula grants to States, local governments, and Indian 
tribes to be used for the purchase of armored vests for law 
enforcement officers in the jurisdiction of the grantee.

Crime-Fighting Technologies Programs

    Law Enforcement Technology Program.--The Committee 
recommends $118,615,000 for continued development of 
technologies and automated systems to assist State and local 
law enforcement agencies in investigating, responding to and 
preventing crime.
    Within the amount provided, the COPS office should examine 
each of the following proposals, provide grants if warranted, 
and submit a report to the Committees on its intentions for 
each proposal:

    The COPS Interoperable Communications Technology Program.--
The Committee recommends $100,000,000 for the Office of 
Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) Interoperable 
Communications Technology program, to be designed and 
implemented by the COPS Office, in consultation with the Office 
of Science and Technology (OS&T) within the National Institute 
of Justice, as well as the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA). 
The Committee seeks to utilize the expertise of all three 
organizations so as to create a grant program that is highly 
responsive to the immediate needs of the State and local law 
enforcement community and that takes full advantages of the 
expertise and lessons learned from OS&T's and BJA's research 
and development in the field of interoperable law enforcement 
communications, particularly project AGILE. In addition, the 
Committee is aware that the Office of Domestic Preparedness and 
the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have 
significant experience in law enforcement communications, and 
therefore it is also recommended that COPS seek guidance from 
these agencies when designing and implementing this program.
    This program should address the critical need of law 
enforcement to improve cross-jurisdictional communication and 
information sharing. The Committee directs the COPS Office to 
develop and submit to the Committee, no later than 45 days 
after the implementation of this Act, proposed guidelines for 
the program. Consistent with the COPS Office's existing grant 
programs, the COPS Interoperable Communications Technology 
program should include a 25 percent local match requirement. 
The Committee is aware that the Federal Emergency Management 
Administration (FEMA) has a similar program designed for Fire 
Departments and EMS, and therefore COPS should consult with 
FEMA to ensure that these programs are providing compatible 
communications equipment that will allow interoperability among 
all first responders in a given jurisdiction. The Committee 
urges that grants under these programs be used, whenever 
possible, to purchase cost effective cross band repeaters or 
other frequency or band patching solutions, which allow 
agencies to make existing communications systems interoperable. 
Because of the complexities associated with these systems, the 
Committee provides $3,000,000, within available amounts, to be 
transferred to the Bureau of Justice Assistance to provide 
technical assistance, utilizing OS&T's expertise, to grantees 
regarding the implementation of the equipment.
    The Committee understands and support the need for minimum 
standards for law enforcement communications technology. 
Therefore, OS&T should assist COPS in incorporating existing 
minimum standards into the formulation of this grant program. 
The Committee also provides, within available amounts, 
$5,000,000 to be transferred to NIST to continue the efforts of 
the Office of Law Enforcement Standards (OLES) regarding the 
development of a comprehensive suite of minimum standards for 
law enforcement communications.
    In addition, the Committee is aware that a number of cross 
band repeaters have been distributed by the Federal Government 
to local jurisdictions throughout the United States. The 
Committee directs that NIJ provide an inventory no later than 
March 1, 2003 regarding the locations of all of these systems.
    Crime Identification Technology Act.--The Committee 
recommends $45,000,000 to be used and distributed pursuant to 
the Crime Identification Technology Act of 1998, Public Law 
105-251, of which $11,000,000 is to be transferred to the NIJ 
to develop technologies to improve school safety. Under that 
Act, eligible uses of the funds are (1) upgrading criminal 
history and criminal justice record systems; (2) improvement of 
criminal justice identification, including fingerprint-based 
systems; (3) promoting compatibility and integration of 
national, State, and local systems for criminal justice 
purposes, firearms eligibility determinations, identification 
of sexual offenders, identification of domestic violence 
offenders, and background checks for other authorized purposes; 
(4) capture of information for statistical and research 
purposes; (5) developing multi-jurisdictional, multi-agency 
communications systems; and (6) improvement of capabilities of 
forensic sciences, including DNA.
    Within the overall amounts recommended, the OJP should 
examine each of the following proposals, provide grants if 
warranted, and submit a report to the Committees on its 
intentions for each proposal:

is directed to provide a report to the Committee no later than 
March 1, 2003 on the accomplishments of the program to date. 
Within the amounts provided for underage drinking, OJP shall 
make an award to the Alaska Federation of Natives to develop an 
underage drinking prevention program in rural Alaska including 
assessment and education, focusing on the children of 
alcoholics.
    Juvenile justice research, evaluation, training, and 
technical assistance.--The Committee recognizes that high 
quality research, evaluation, and statistical analysis are 
critical to understanding and addressing the causes of youth 
crime, understanding the scope of delinquency and its impact on 
the juvenile justice system, and identifying effective 
approaches to delinquency control that can be replicated at the 
State and local levels. The Committee recommendation allows the 
Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Programs 
[OJJDP] to set aside 2 percent for training and technical 
assistance and 10 percent for research, evaluation, and 
statistics activities.
    8. Victims of Child Abuse Act.--The Committee recommends 
$11,000,000 for the various programs authorized under the 
Victims of Child Abuse Act [VOCA]. Funds, provided to establish 
regional and local children's advocacy centers, may not be used 
to provide legal aid. The recommendation includes $11,000,000 
to improve investigations and prosecutions (subtitle A) as 
follows:
  --$2,500,000 to establish regional children's advocacy 
        centers, as authorized by section 213 of VOCA;
  --$5,500,000 to establish local children's advocacy centers, 
        as authorized by section 214 of VOCA;
  --$1,000,000 for the National Children's Advocacy Center in 
        Huntsville, Alabama to develop and implement a training 
        program; and
  --$850,000 for a continuation grant to the National Network 
        of Child Advocacy Centers for technical assistance and 
        training, as authorized by section 214a of VOCA.

                     ELECTION REFORM GRANT PROGRAM

Appropriations, 2002....................................................
Budget estimate, 2003...................................    $400,000,000
Committee recommendation................................     400,000,000

    The Committee recommends $400,000,000 for the Office of 
Justice Programs to establish an election reform grant program 
as authorized by H.R. 3295, the Martin Luther King, Jr. Equal 
Protection of Voting Rights Act of 2002, as amended and passed 
by the Senate on April 11, 2002. Within the amount provided, 
$150,000,000 is for the Federal Election Reform Incentive Grant 
Program, $10,000,000 is for the Protection and Advocacy 
Services Grant Program, $150,000,000 is for the Uniform and 
Non-discriminatory Election Technology and Administration 
Requirements Grant Program, and $90,000,000 is for the 
establishment of the Federal Election Accessibility Grant 
Program as established by H.R. 3295, as amended and passed by 
the Senate.

                    PUBLIC SAFETY OFFICERS BENEFITS

Appropriations, 2002....................................     $37,724,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................      53,054,000
Committee recommendation................................      53,054,000

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $53,054,000. 
The recommendation is equal to the budget request and provides 
all mandatory funding for death benefits under the Public 
Safety Officers Benefits Program. This program provides a lump-
sum death benefit payment to eligible survivors of Federal, 
State, and local public safety officers whose death was the 
direct and proximate result of a traumatic injury sustained in 
the line of duty. In addition, $4,000,000 is provided to pay 
for disability benefits to public safety officers who are 
permanently disabled in the line of duty. Within the available 
carryover balances, sufficient funding is available for the 
program which provides payments for education purposes to the 
dependents of Federal, State, and local public safety officers 
who are killed or permanently disabled in the line of duty. No 
additional funding is provided to expand the education benefits 
program in fiscal year 2003.

               General Provisions--Department of Justice

    The Committee recommends the following general provisions:
    Section 101 makes up to $45,000 of the funds appropriated 
to the Department of Justice available for reception and 
representation expenses.
    Section 102 allows the Department of Justice to spend up to 
$10,000 for rewards for information regarding acts of terrorism 
against U.S. citizens or property at levels not to exceed 
$2,000,000 per reward.
    Section 103 allows the Department of Justice, subject to 
the Committee's reprogramming procedures, to transfer up to 5 
percent between appropriations, but limits to 10 percent the 
amount that can be transferred into any one appropriation.
    Section 104 provides technical assistance funds to improve 
oversight of certain grant programs.
    Section 105 transfers certain collections from one fee 
account to another under the Immigration and Naturalization 
Services.
    Section 106 allows Justice to collect reimbursements from 
manufacturers for warranty work done in-house.

         TITLE II--DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE AND RELATED AGENCIES

    The Committee recommends a total of $5,962,105,000 for the 
U.S. Trade Representative, the International Trade Commission, 
and the Department of Commerce for fiscal year 2003. This 
amount is $14,726,000 below the total request.

                  Trade and Infrastructure Development

    The Committee has included under this section of title II, 
the U.S. Office of the Trade Representative, the International 
Trade Commission, and the Department of Commerce agencies 
responsible for trade promotion and enforcement and economic 
infrastructure development.

                            RELATED AGENCIES

Appropriations, 2002....................................     $30,097,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................      32,299,000
Committee recommendation................................      30,832,000

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $30,832,000 
for the U.S. Trade Representative. The recommendation is 
$1,467,000 below the budget request. The recommendation 
includes the fiscal year 2002 funding level and a 4.1 percent 
pay adjustment for Federal employees. The budget request 
recommended shifting jurisdiction over the U.S. Trade 
Representative to the Executive Office of the President. The 
Committee does not concur with this recommendation.
    The Office of the U.S. Trade Representative is responsible 
for developing and coordinating U.S. international trade, 
commodity, and direct investment policy, and leading 
negotiations with other countries on such matters. The U.S. 
Trade Representative's areas of responsibility include all 
matters within the World Trade Organization, including 
implementation of the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade 
agreements; trade, commodity, and direct investment matters 
dealt with by international institutions such as the 
Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development and the 
United Nations Conference on Trade Development; industrial, 
agricultural and services trade policy, and trade-related 
intellectual property protection and environmental issues.

Budget estimate, 2003...................................      54,000,000
Committee recommendation................................      54,600,000

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $54,600,000. 
The recommendation is $600,000 above the budget request. The 
Committee recommendation includes the fiscal year 2002 funding 
level and a 4.1 percent pay adjustment for Federal employees.
    The International Trade Commission [ITC] is an independent, 
quasi-judicial agency responsible for conducting trade-related 
investigations, providing Congress and the President with 
independent technical advice relating to U.S. international 
trade policy, and performing other statutory responsibilities 
such as quasi-judicial determinations on trade matters filed 
with the Commission.

                         DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE


                   International Trade Administration


                     OPERATIONS AND ADMINISTRATION

Appropriations, 2002....................................    $345,547,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................     363,678,000
Committee recommendation................................     350,242,000

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $350,242,000. 
In addition, the Committee anticipates $3,000,000 in fees. The 
recommendation is $13,436,000 below the budget request and 
includes a 4.1 pay adjustment for Federal employees. The 
recommendation includes a $13,100,000 increase to hire 82 full-
time equivalents within Market Access and Compliance, Import 
Administration, and the U.S. Foreign and Commercial Service for 
continuation of the trade compliance and monitoring 
initiatives.
    The Committee does not recommend the Administration's 
estimate of $13,000,000 in fees during fiscal year 2003. 
Rather, as in past years, the Committee recommends $3,000,000 
in fees. The Administration proposed a $10,000,000 fee increase 
as part of its fiscal year 2003 budget request. The ITA's plan 
was to commission a study during fiscal year 2002 to identify 
areas of cost recovery on fee collections. The Administration 
has not provided the Committee with findings from such a study 
or an explanation of from exactly where the fees would be 
collected. Until such an explanation is available, the 
Committee will not recommend that there be an increase in fee 
collections.
    The Committee recommendation includes $13,325,000 for 
Administration and Executive Direction. The Administration's 
proposal included a $10,375,000 increase over the fiscal year 
2002 level for this line office. Under the Administration's 
proposal, to fund this increase, $8,700,000 would be removed 
from the U.S. Foreign and Commercial Service budget; $775,000 
would be removed from the Import Administration budget; 
$350,000 would be removed from the Market Access and Compliance 
budget; and $550,000 would be removed from the Trade 
Development budget. This increase would reflect ITA's 
consolidation of Chief Information Officer (CIO) activities to 
ensure that all systems within the bureau communicate and 
compliment each other. The Administration maintains that this 
transfer would assure centralized leadership and management of 
ITA information technology decisions, planning, management and 
updating. The Committee finds the goal of streamlining CIO 
functions laudable and recommends that in the future, the 
Department of Commerce work with the Committee to promote such 
an effort throughout the Department. To date, however the 
Department has not submitted a plan as to exactly how such a 
consolidation would move forward. The Committee therefore does 
not recommend this effort and rather recommends restoration of 
funds to the ITA line offices. These funds may be transferred 
to the Administration and Executive Director account upon 
approval of a section 605 reprogramming by the Committee on 
Appropriations.
    The recommended funding levels are reflected in the 
following table:

ITA Funding

Trade development.......................................    $68,083,000 
Market access and compliance............................     28,197,000 
Import Administration...................................     44,006,000

                    --------------------------------------------------------
                    ____________________________________________________
      ITA total appropriation...........................    350,242,000 

    Trade Development.--The Committee recommends an 
appropriation of $68,083,000. The recommendation is $10,687,000 
above the budget request. The Committee recommends continued 
funding for the enhancement of the agency's export data base, 
funding for the National Textile Center at a level of 
$10,000,000 and the Textile/Clothing Technology Center at a 
level of $3,000,000.
    Market Access and Compliance.--The Committee recommends an 
appropriation of $28,197,000. The recommendation is $7,619,000 
below the budget request. Assuring that U.S. companies receive 
the full benefit of our trade agreements is critically 
important. In fiscal year 2002, the Committee approved a large 
increase for compliance and enforcement. The Committee directs 
the Office of Market Access and Compliance (MAC) to continue 
with their compliance effort and recommends $23,525,000 within 
available funds for this purpose.
    The Committee recommends $1,500,000 within available funds 
for ITA to continue to place and maintain support for 
compliance officers in China, Japan, and the European Union, 
and other key markets so that they can detect and swiftly 
address compliance problems U.S. companies face in these 
markets.
    Import Administration.--The Committee recommends an 
appropriation of $44,006,000. The recommendation is $7,741,000 
below the budget request. The Committee recommendation includes 
$1,500,000 for the Import Administration to continue to place 
and maintain overseas enforcement officers, including 
monitoring compliance with the World Trade Organization and 
other international commitments on antidumping and subsidies.
    The Committee recommendation provides $3,500,000 for the 
Import Administration to monitor import data and customs flows 
for surges in key markets and sectors, such as steel and 
lumber, and take immediate action when such surges are 
detected. Such action should include using resources to 
expedite unfair trade cases so U.S. companies can receive 
relief at the earliest possible date. In addition, Import 
Administration must vigorously monitor foreign subsidies so 
that action can be taken if the subsidies violate trade 
agreements.
    The Committee recommends $2,500,000 to review and evaluate 
in-depth China and Japanese compliance with antidumping and 
countervailing duty commitments. China and Japan represent the 
majority of unfair trade actions, and the Committee believes 
there is an urgent need for greater attention to both Japanese 
and Chinese trade practices.
    U.S. and Foreign Commercial Service [US&FCS].--The 
Committee recommends an appropriation of $199,631,000. The 
recommendation is $5,713,000 below the request.
    The Committee supports the Commercial Service's work on the 
Appalachian-Turkish Trade Project, a project to promote 
opportunities to expand trade, encourage business interests, 
stimulate foreign studies, and to build a lasting and mutually 
meaningful relationship between the Appalachian States and the 
Republic of Turkey, as well as the neighboring regions, such as 
Greece. The Committee expects the agency to support the 
project.
    Administration and Executive Direction.--The Committee 
recommends an appropriation of $13,325,000. The recommendation 
is $1,540,000 below the budget request. Bill language is 
included which prohibits certain offices from taking funds from 
other accounts. If additional funds are needed, a reprogramming 
request should be submitted to the Committee for approval.

                         Export Administration

Appropriations, 2002....................................     $70,649,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................     100,198,000
Committee recommendation................................      98,540,000

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $98,540,000. 
The recommendation is $1,658,000 below the budget request. The 
Committee recommendation includes the fiscal year 2002 funding 
level, a 4.1 percent pay adjustment for Federal employees, and 
$26,786,000 for requested Homeland Security program increases.
    The Bureau of Export Administration [BXA] is the principal 
agency involved in the development, implementation, and 
enforcement of export controls for dual-use technologies and 
weapons of mass destruction. The Export Enforcement Division 
detects, prevents, investigates, and assists in the sanctioning 
of illegal dual-use exports. Within available funds, the 
Committee recommendation provides $6,159,000 to improve BXA's 
information technology security program; $33,577,000 for 
licensing and regulatory activities; $29,323,000 to divert 
exports of items that could contribute to the weapons of mass 
destruction programs of China, Russia, and India or to 
terrorist capabilities of certain rogue states such as Iraq, 
Iran, Libya, and Syria; and $6,326,000 for the Critical 
Infrastructure Assurance Office's (CIAO) mission on critical 
infrastructure outreach to state and local governments.
    The Committee directs BXA to conduct a comprehensive study 
on the health, competitiveness, and the contribution of the 
U.S. textile and apparel industry to the U.S. economy and in 
particular to the U.S. armed forces. The study should include a 
review of whether the United States is increasing its 
dependency on foreign sources for critical textile-related 
materials; potential threats to internal security from 
increased foreign sourcing and dependency; whether the Berry 
amendment and other Buy-American restrictions are being 
effectively enforced by the Department of Defense. The 
Committee requests that the study be completed no later than 
May 1, 2003 and recommends $750,000 within available funds for 
this purpose.
    The Committee recommendation fully funds the fiscal year 
2003 request for authorized CIAO activities. The Committee does 
not recommend funds for the Technology and Evaluation Program 
because it exceeds the CIAO's authority. Rather, the Committee 
recommendation includes $20,000,000 for the Export 
Administration to implement a CIAO activity to address the 
private sector's inattention to the terrorist threats to our 
national critical infrastructure. The Committee directs the 
CIAO to develop a public-private partnership, to consist of a 
team of experts that have both the technological and legal 
expertise provide assistance to the private sector. This 
initiative should first target those sectors and companies that 
are determined to be of the highest importance to U.S. national 
security needs. The Committee recommends that the CIAO develop 
a plan and a funding request for this initiative.

                  Economic Development Administration

Appropriations, 2002....................................    $365,557,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................     348,000,000

    The Economic Development Administration [EDA] provides 
grants to local governments and nonprofit agencies for public 
works, planning, and other projects designed to facilitate 
economic development.
    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $366,211,000. 
The recommendation is $18,211,000 above the budget request. The 
Committee recommendation includes the fiscal year 2002 funding 
level and a 4.1 percent pay adjustment for Federal employees. 
Funding amounts for the two appropriations accounts under this 
heading are displayed below.

                ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS

Appropriations, 2002....................................    $335,000,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................     317,235,000
Committee recommendation................................     335,000,000

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $335,000,000. 
The recommendation is $17,765,000 above the budget request and 
is identical to the fiscal year 2002 funding level.
    The Committee recommendation provides funding of 
$250,000,000 for public works grants (title I), $24,000,000 for 
planning assistance, $10,500,000 for trade adjustment 
assistance, $40,900,000 for economic adjustment grants (title 
IX), and $9,100,000 for technical assistance.
    The Committee is aware of several proposals for economic 
development or adjustment assistance and strongly urges EDA to 
consider applications for the following proposals within 
applicable procedures and guidelines and provide a grant, if 
warranted: (1) the Vermont Economic Development Fund; (2) 
infrastructure improvement at Discovery Square and Lancaster 
Square, PA; (3) a proposal for economic development in 
Albuquerque, New Mexico; (4) development of a multi-purpose 
dock in Cordova, AK; (5) a proposal for a wireless initiative 
in Taylor County, KY; and (6) a proposal for technology 
initiatives at Mississippi Valley State University.
    The Committee lauds EDA for its continued efforts to 
strengthen private sector business activity and development on 
Indian lands, and urges that it act expeditiously to develop an 
implementation plan for the recently enacted Native American 
Business Development, Trade Promotion, and Tourism Act.
    The Committee expects EDA to continue its efforts to assist 
communities impacted by economic dislocations relating to 
industry downswings as well as to assist communities impacted 
by downturns due to environmental concerns. This includes the 
timber and coal industries, United States-Canadian trade-
related issues, communities in New England, the mid-Atlantic, 
Hawaii, and Alaska impacted by fisheries regulations, and 
communities in the Southeast impacted by downturns due to 
NAFTA.

includes funding to continue the necessary task of updating and 
improving statistical measurements of the U.S. economy and 
international transactions. The Committee recommendation 
includes the fiscal year 2002 funding level and a 4.1 percent

                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

Appropriations, 2002....................................    $169,424,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................     204,996,000
Committee recommendation................................     173,223,000

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $173,223,000. 
The recommendation is $31,773,000 below the budget request. 
This account provides for the salaries and expenses associated 
with the statistical programs of the Bureau of the Census, 
including measurement of the Nation's economy and the 
demographic characteristics of the population. These programs 
are intended to provide a broad base of economic, demographic, 
and social information used for decision-making by governments, 
private organizations, and individuals.
    The Committee has provided funding for the key programs of 
the Census Bureau. The Committee is particularly concerned that 
key reports on manufacturing, general economic and foreign 
trade statistics are maintained and issued on a timely basis.
    The Committee recommendation includes an increase of 
$5,463,000 to improve estimates of the Nation's Gross Domestic 
Product and an increase of $5,192,000 to measure the impact of 
electronic business on the economy. The Committee does not 
recommend funding increases for trade statistics or restoration 
of the Survey of Income and Program Participation.

budget submission in fiscal year 2004 a report on the 
reimbursements it has received for work requested by other 
Federal agencies or private organizations.

    This account provides for the constitutionally mandated 
decennial census, quinquennial censuses, and other programs 
which are cyclical in nature. Additionally, individual surveys 
are conducted for other Federal agencies on a reimbursable 
basis.
    For the 2010 decennial census, the Committee recommendation 
includes $41,875,000 to establish an early design and planning 
process to test a simplified, streamlined census designed to 
collect ``short form'' data.
    For other programs under this account, the Committee 
recommends the requested levels of $52,375,000 for economic 
censuses; $5,773,000 for census of governments; $6,092,000 for 
intercensal demographic estimates; $6,284,000 for electronic 
information collection; $37,811,000 for geographic support; and 
$23,795,000 for data processing systems. The Committee also 
recommends $12,658,000 for demographic survey sample redesign.

       National Telecommunications and Information Administration

Appropriations, 2002....................................     $81,273,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................      60,349,000
Committee recommendation................................      81,688,000

    The Committee recommends on appropriation of $81,688,000. 
The Committee recommendation is $21,339,000 above the budget 
request. The Committee recommendation includes a 4.1 percent 
pay adjustment for Federal employees.

                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

Appropriations, 2002....................................     $14,054,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................      16,581,000
Committee recommendation................................      14,352,000

    The Committee recommends on appropriation of $14,352,000. 
The recommendation is $298,000 above the budget request.
    The Committee retains language from previous years allowing 
the Secretary of Commerce to charge Federal agencies for a 
portion of the cost of coordination of spectrum management, 
analysis, and operations.

       PUBLIC BROADCASTING FACILITIES, PLANNING, AND CONSTRUCTION

Appropriations, 2002....................................     $51,716,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................      43,556,000
Committee recommendation................................      51,776,000

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $51,776,000. 
The recommendation is $8,220,000 above the budget request. 
Public broadcasters face a significant challenge in making the 
transition from analog to digital broadcasting. The public 
broadcasters, as well as commercial broadcasters, are required 
to make the change from analog to digital broadcasting by 2005. 
This is an expensive task, and is going to be particularly 
challenging for public broadcasters whose networks include 
numerous translator stations.
    These challenges are particularly great for those 
broadcasters who are located in, or who serve, largely rural 
areas. As in past years, the Committee continues to urge the 
agency to place emphasis on the needs of these stations, and to 
support focusing resources on distance learning initiatives 
targeting rural areas.

                    TECHNOLOGY OPPORTUNITIES PROGRAM

Appropriations, 2002....................................     $15,503,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................         212,000
Committee recommendation................................      15,560,000

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $15,560,000. 
The recommendation is $15,348,000 above the budget request. The 
Committee expects NTIA to limit eligibility for this program.
    In its February 2002 annual report on Internet use, ``A 
Nation Online: How Americans Are Expanding Their Use of the 
Internet,'' the Department of Commerce reported that while 
Internet use among the poor and minorities has increased 
rapidly over the last 3 years, these groups still lag behind a 
majority of Americans who have access to the Internet. In its 
fiscal year 2003 budget request, the administration slated the 
Technology Opportunities Program (TOP) for elimination. 
According to the Department's fiscal year 2003 Budget in Brief, 
the reason for the elimination is that the program has 
fulfilled its mission. Clearly, there are great numbers of 
people that would continue to benefit from the TOP program and 
the Committee recommends its full funding.
    The regional information sharing system [RISS] under the 
Department of Justice provides funding for law enforcement 
entities which have traditionally obtained funding from the TOP 
Program. The Committee recommendation excludes law enforcement 
entities eligible for the RISS Program from applying for TOP 
funds. The Committee expects NTIA to give preference to 
applications from consortia and for purposes such as public 
safety or other uses for which there is no other funding source 
available.
    The Committee is aware of several proposals for information 
infrastructure grants and strongly urges NTIA to consider 
applications for the following proposals within applicable 
procedures and guidelines and provide a grant, if warranted: 
(1) a broadband access initiative in Vermont; (2) a technology 
training initiative proposal by Morgan State University; (3) 
graduate education and applied research in South Dakota; and 
(4) a business to business electronic commerce program in 
Kentucky.

                      Patent and Trademark Office


                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

Appropriations, 2002....................................  $1,127,501,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................   1,304,357,000
Committee recommendation................................   1,145,571,000

    The Committee recommends total budget resources of 
$1,145,571,000. The recommendation is $158,786,000 below the 
budget request. The Committee recommendation includes the 
fiscal year 2002 funding level and a 4.1 percent pay adjustment 
for Federal employees. The recommendation does not include the 
$207,000,000 surcharge on patent and trademark fees proposed in 
the President's fiscal year 2003 budget.
    The Patent and Trademark Office [PTO] is charged with 
administering the patent and trademark laws of the United 
States. PTO examines patent applications, grants patent 
protection for qualified inventions, and disseminates 
technological information disclosed in patents. PTO also 
examines trademark applications and provides Federal 
registration to owners of qualified trademarks. The PTO is 
subject to the policy direction of the Secretary of Commerce, 
but the agency has independent control of its budget, 
expenditures, personnel, procurement and other administrative 
and management functions.
    Patent laws administered by the PTO encourage invention, 
innovation and investment. The PTO plays a critical role in 
promoting the continued development of intellectual property in 
this country. For established companies, new patents improve 
competitiveness, increase productivity, help bring new products 
and services to market, and create jobs. For entrepreneurs, 
patents can make or break a new business.
    Preparing PTO for the Workload Associated with the 21st 
Century Economy.--For fiscal year 2002, the Committee directed 
the PTO to develop a 5-Year Strategic Plan for the PTO with 
three core objectives: (1) prepare the agency to handle the 
workload associated with the 21st century economy, (2) improve 
patent quality, and (3) reduce patent and trademark pendency. 
The Committee directed that the plan include recommendations to 
improve retention and productivity of the examiner workforce, 
targeted hiring increases to deal with high-growth areas, 
improved training, and E-Government and other capital 
improvements designed to improve productivity. The Committee 
directed that the plan also include benchmarks for measuring 
progress in achieving each of those objectives.
    While the PTO has briefed the Committee on the outlines of 
a 5-year strategic plan for the agency that is generally 
responsive to direction from Congress, the plan calls for some 
of the most sweeping changes to the patent review process in 
200 years. The plan requires authorizing legislation to change 
the statutory fee structure, alter the PTO pay scale, contract 
out major functions, and implement several recommended patent 
review policy and process changes that may be controversial. If 
any implementing legislation including fee changes are approved 
by Congress and enacted into law, the Committee would favorably 
consider a supplemental request that would use any additional 
fee income resulting from increased PTO fees to improve patent 
quality and reduce patent and trademark pendency at the PTO.
    In the interim, the Committee recommendation supports 
efforts to shift PTO resources to high priority areas and a 
more gradual increase in staffing to ensure that examiners have 
expertise, tools, and training necessary to produce quality 
patents on a timely basis. This approach is consistent with the 
outline of the PTO 5-year strategic plan released in June 2002 
and PTO authorizing legislation passed by the House and Senate 
with bipartisan support earlier this Congress.
    Within the total amounts recommended, the Committee directs 
that PTO cover all proposed adjustments to base. In addition, 
the Committee recommends the following targeted funding 
increases: (1) $29,200,000 to hire 750 new patent examiners to 
help improve patent quality and reduce patent pendency; (2) 
$47,775,000 for an e-government initiative. Of this amount, 
$13,575,000 is provided to fully implement the PTO's e-
trademark initiative by the end of fiscal year 2003, and 
$29,500,000 is provided for the PTO's e-patent initiative to 
ensure that the new system is fully operational by the end of 
fiscal year 2004; (3) $4,700,000 is to implement the PTO's 
information technology initiative; and (4) $30,149,000 for a 
retention initiative focused on the patent examiner corps that 
is intended to reduce attrition and improve the quality of 
patent examination.

                         Science and Technology

    The Committee has included under this section of Title II 
the Department of Commerce agencies involved in technology 
research and development, scientific assessment and prediction 
of environmental phenomena, and the administrative and policy 
functions providing oversight for these activities.

                    ____________________________________________________
      Total, STRS.......................................     336,443,000

    Within the amounts provided, the Committee approves the 
following increases: (1) $4,000,000 in the Building and Fire 
Research Program for the development of standards pertaining to 
construction of high-rise buildings; (2) $4,000,000 in the 
Physics program to provide measurements, standards, and test 
methods for the development of advanced nanotechnologies; (3) 
$4,000,000 in the Computer Science and Applied Mathematics 
program to develop new measurements, test methods, and 
guidelines for the protection of the Nation's critical 
infrastructures; (4) $3,400,000 in the Chemical Science and 
Technology Program to change measurement and standards 
activities related to the reduction and monitoring of global 
climate change, including $1,000,000 to restore reductions in 
enviremental measurements at the Hollings Marine Laboratory; 
(5) $4,000,000 in the Computer Science and Applied Mathematics 
Program for quantum computing. The Committee recommendation 
includes $48,581,000 for Research Support Activities, of which 
only $12,100,000 may be used to fund business systems. The 
Committee recommends that no funds be used for FAIR Act 
studies. The Committee does not recommend funding for the 
Critical Infrastructure Protection Grants Program. The Advanced 
Technology Program was developed to evaluate these types of 
grant applications, and (6) $2,500,000 under the Wind Research 
Program to continue funding an existing cooperative agreement 
between NIST and Texas Tech University.

                     INDUSTRIAL TECHNOLOGY SERVICES

Appropriations, 2002....................................    $291,032,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................     119,607,000
Committee recommendation................................     291,976,000

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $291,976,000. 
The recommendation is $172,369,000 above the budget request.
    Manufacturing Extension Partnership Program [MEP].--The 
Committee recommends an appropriation of $106,623,000 to fully 
fund all of the MEP centers.
    Advanced Technology Program [ATP].--The Committee 
recommends an appropriation of $185,353,000. The recommendation 
is $39,198,000 above the budget request. This amount, when 
combined with approximately $11,000,000 in carryover, will 
fully fund ATP awards at current levels. Within the amounts 
made available, $45,000,000 shall be used for administrative 
costs, internal laboratory support, and for Small Business 
Innovation Research Program [SBIR] requirements. NIST may not 
apply a contracts and grants processing surcharge to the ATP 
program.
    The Committee is concerned that the Department of Commerce 
has had difficulty understanding Congressional intent in 
regards to funding of new awards under the ATP program. In 
fiscal year 2002, the Committees on Appropriations provided 
$60,700,000 for new ATP awards, yet the Department committed to 
issuing only $35,000,000. The Committees on Appropriations 
clarified Congressional intent on this matter by modifying bill 
language in the fiscal year 2002 Supplemental Appropriations 
bill. The Committee recommends similar modified bill language 
which obligates the Department of Commerce to spending a full 
$60,700,000 in fiscal year 2003 towards the awards. In 
addition, in the fiscal year budget request, NIST proposed 
reforms, supposedly designed to improve the ATP program. The 
Committee reminds NIST that the creation of legislation 
regarding ATP reform is a function of the U.S. Congress and 
that NIST shall issue $60,700,000 in new ATP awards in fiscal 
year 2003 even in the absence of Congressional action on 
suggested authorizing legislation.
    In the budget request, the administration proposed reduced 
funding for the Advanced Technology Program. The Committee does 
not recommend this approach and is concerned that the ATP 
awarding process has been purposely hindered as a result of 
philosophical differences of opinion between the Department of 
Commerce and the U.S. Congress. Therefore, the Committee 
directs the Department of Commerce to submit a written plan on 
how it intends on making timely ATP awards in fiscal year 2003. 
This plan should be submitted and approved by the 
Appropriations Subcommittees on Commerce, Justice, State and 
the Judiciary before any funds are obligated for Department of 
Commerce, Departmental Management.

                  CONSTRUCTION OF RESEARCH FACILITIES

Appropriations, 2002....................................     $62,393,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................      54,212,000
Committee recommendation................................      63,750,000

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $63,750,000. 
The recommendation is $9,538,000 above the budget request and 
fully funds the highest priority safety, capacity, maintenance, 
and repair projects at NIST. Of the amounts provided, 
$15,000,000 is provided for equipping and relocation expenses 
related to NIST's Advanced Measurement Laboratory in 
Gaithersburg, MD and $19,265,000 is for construction and 
renovation projects at NIST's Boulder, CO site.

            National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration


                     (INCLUDING TRANSFERS OF FUNDS)

Appropriations, 2002....................................  $3,258,848,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................   3,127,614,000
Committee recommendation................................   3,350,356,000

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $3,350,356,000 
for National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration [NOAA]. 
Transfers and de-obligations total $78,200,000. The 
recommendation is $216,742,000 above the budget request. The 
Committee recommendation includes the fiscal year 2002 funding 
level, a 4.1 percent pay adjustment for Federal employees, and 
$23,200,000 for requested Homeland Security program increases. 
The amount provided includes $480,000,000 for programs in the 
conservation spending category. Programs funded within the 
conservation spending category include the Coastal and 
Estuarine Land Protection Program, Estuarine Conservation, 
Coastal Observation Technology System, Cooperative Institute 
for Coastal and Estuarine Environmental Technology, Ocean 
Exploration and National Marine Fisheries Service, Habitat 
Research and Conservation. During this time of continued 
budgetary constraint, the Committee recommendation continues to 
make funding for ocean, coastal, fisheries, and atmospheric 
programs a high priority.
    As in past years, the Committee expects NOAA and the 
Department of Commerce to adhere to the direction given in this 
section of the Committee report and to observe the 
reprogramming procedures detailed in section 605 in the general 
provisions of the accompanying bill. Bill language is included 
that authorizes a NOAA Business Management Fund.

                  OPERATIONS RESEARCH, AND FACILITIES

    The Committee recommends discretionary appropriations of 
$2,336,801,000 for operations, research, and facilities for 
fiscal year 2003. The recommendation is $122,719,000 above the 
budget request. Of this amount, $264,488,000 is provided for 
conservation.
    Sea Grant College Program.--Through its budget request, the 
administration slated the National Sea Grant College Program 
for termination under NOAA and reconstitution under the 
National Science Foundation (NSF). The Committee does not 
support this ill-conceived notion. Instead, the Committee 
recommends a total appropriation of $63,410,000 for Sea Grant. 
Under the NSF, Sea Grant would lose its State matching 
requirement and it would lack authorization to continue its 
successful Extension Program. The Sea Grant program has a long-
standing commitment to problem-oriented scientific research and 
education that responds to the needs of industry, government, 
resource managers, university scientists, and the broader 
public. The outreach and technology transfer services of the 
Sea Grant program have improved science-based fisheries 
management, pollution remediation, seafood safety, marine 
safety, and marine engineering. The Committee is concerned that 
NSF, with its tradition of funding basic science, will be less 
responsive to the research agenda successfully developed by Sea 
Grant.
    Ocean and Coastal Observing Systems.--The Committee 
reaffirms its support for the establishment of an integrated 
interagency ocean and coastal observing system that will 
provide critical information to a wide variety of users of 
ocean and coastal information and services. The Committee 
recognizes the Nation needs substantially better information on 
the current and future state of the ocean and its role in 
environmental change. Adequate predictive capability is a 
prerequisite to the development of sound policies at the 
national and regional level, policies ranging from maritime 
commerce to public health, from fisheries to safety of life and 
property, from climate change to national security.
    Broad scale discussions have been underway for almost three 
decades on this topic, but coordinated attention at the Federal 
level has begun in earnest only in recent years. In its fiscal 
year 2002 Senate Report, the Committee directed the Office of 
Science and Technology Policy to develop an interagency plan 
for the research, technology demonstration, and ultimately, the 
implementation of an integrated ocean observing system. The 
Committee notes that efforts are underway to develop such a 
plan, but to date, no such interagency plan has yet been 
submitted.
    The Committee directs NOAA to work with its partners on the 
National Ocean Research Leadership Council (NORLC) to submit a 
plan to the Committee prior to the release of the President's 
budget for fiscal year 2004. This plan will detail an 
implementation strategy for the establishment of an integrated 
ocean and coastal observing system. This plan shall, at a 
minimum: (1) include an interagency governance structure; (2) 
define the roles and responsibilities of each agency in 
implementing and operating the system; (3) provide multi-year 
funding estimates by agency; and (4) include a process for 
regional coordination and technical support to ensure 
development of integrated regional systems with a national 
observing initiative.
    In addition, as development of an integrated long-term 
Federal plan proceeds, the Committee urges NOAA to coordinate 
existing or planned regional coastal observing systems, 
particularly those for which Congress has provided funding or 
those which use Federal platforms such as buoys. The Committee 
directs NOAA to utilize the data management and technical 
expertise of the Coastal Services Center to perform this 
function as well as provide education and outreach to 
participating Federal agencies, academic institutions, State 
agencies, and other interests.
    Ocean Health Initiative.--One area where coastal observing 
systems would be useful is in exploring the relationship 
between the oceans and human health. In 1999, a National 
Research Council report, From Monsoons to Microbes: 
Understanding the Ocean's Role in Human Health, focused 
attention on the implications of ocean phenomena for human 
health. The phenomena include climate change, weather events, 
coastal hazards, infectious diseases, and harmful algal blooms. 
As the nation faces increasing coastal pressures and scientists 
identify alarming changes in coastal systems, including changes 
in sentinel species such as dolphins and fish, NOAA is uniquely 
positioned to play a strong role in identification, prediction, 
and prevention of such changes. In addition, genetic and other 
characteristics of marine organisms can be used for medical 
advances and NOAA can help build a bridge between marine 
scientists and human health experts.
    The Committee directs the Under Secretary to establish an 
Ocean Health Initiative to coordinate and focus agency 
activities on critical areas of concern and identify critical 
gaps in coverage. The Committee is providing $10,000,000 that 
shall be used for critical research and projects aimed at 
closing identified gaps. The Committee directs NOAA to: (1) 
work with the National Science Foundation and the National 
Institute of Environmental Health Sciences in developing a 
joint program that builds on and complements existing NOAA 
programs; (2) establish an external peer reviewed grant 
process; and (3) provide for the selection and funding of 
internationally recognized ``distinguished'' scholars to work 
in collaboration with NOAA researchers. NOAA will submit a 
spend plan for approval by the Committees on Appropriations 
before program funding is obligated.
    Fisheries Management Reform.--The Committee continues to be 
gravely concerned over the need for reform of the Federal 
fishery management system. In June 2002, the National Academy 
of Public Administration (NAPA) and the National Research 
Council (NRC) issued the report requested by the Committee that 
continues and expands the review begun in the June 2000 report 
prepared for NOAA, An Independent Assessment of the Resource 
Requirements for the National Marine Fisheries Service. The 
NAPA/NRC report confirmed that the agency is in a management 
crisis that will require years to resolve, and stated that NMFS 
must demonstrate leadership to ensure the necessary changes are 
made in the fishery management structure. The Committee 
supports current efforts by the Agency to strengthen 
accountability in both the Councils and the Agency.
    However, the Committee is concerned that implementation of 
the changes has been extremely slow, even when the funds have 
been provided by Congress. More aggressive action is needed, 
particularly in strengthening analytical capabilities and 
litigation preparedness. The Committee directs NOAA, no later 
than June 30, 2003, to report to the Committee on its progress 
in implementing the reforms identified in the NAPA/NRC report, 
as well as issues identified by NMFS, including how the 
Administration's budget proposal for fiscal year 2004 will help 
achieve these reforms.
    Pacific Salmon Funding.--The Committee notes the lack of 
accountability and performance standards for resources 
distributed to restore endangered and threatened salmon through 
the Pacific Coastal Salmon Recovery Fund. For fiscal year 2002, 
Congress provided the National Marine Fisheries Service 
$115,000,000 to be distributed among certain States and tribes 
for habitat restoration and salmon recovery. The Secretary of 
Commerce is imposed with substantial legal obligations under 
the Endangered Species Act because no less than twenty six runs 
of Pacific salmon are listed as endangered. Failure to make 
progress toward recovery under the Endangered Species Act poses 
adverse legal consequences for the agency. The Committee has no 
assurances from the Administration that any of these funds have 
contributed to the recovery of Pacific salmon. This is 
particularly important at a time when the Department is 
struggling to respond to a huge litigation caseload, which the 
Committee has provided substantial funds to help reduce. 
Furthermore, there appears to be no way to accurately estimate 
total annual Federal expenditures for Pacific salmon recovery, 
but funds provided to the various agencies are more than 
$500,000,000 per year.
    The Committee believes that some mechanism assuring legal 
and fiscal accountability is required for distribution of funds 
to States with listed salmon species. Section 6 of the 
Endangered Species Act provides for such a mechanism, linking 
the distribution of recovery funds to assurances that the State 
has an adequate and active program for endangered species 
conservation. The Committee directs NOAA to enter into Section 
6 cooperative agreements with the States and tribes that are 
using funds for recovery of listed species to clarify State and 
tribal involvement in regional and local recovery programs. The 
Committee expects NOAA to request appropriations in their 
fiscal year 2004 budget for recovery of endangered runs of 
Pacific Salmon under section 6 to support cooperative State and 
tribal activities that contribute to the recovery of the 
Pacific Salmon runs. In addition, the Committee directs NOAA to 
provide an annual report to the Committee no later than March 
30 of each year on the projects funded through the Pacific 
Salmon Recovery Fund and their projected and actual results, 
particularly focusing on progress toward recovery of endangered 
and threatened salmon species and projected ending date for 
funding needs based on recovery schedules. The Committee 
recommends that not less than 1 percent of the amounts made 
available for the Pacific Coastal Salmon Recovery Fund be made 
available to NOAA to accomplish this task.

    Some of the Committee recommendations displayed in the 
table above are described in more detail in the following 
paragraphs.
    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $403,543,000 
for the National Ocean Service [NOS]. The recommendation is 
$25,031,000 above the budget request.
    Navigation.--The Committee recommends $4,250,000 for the 
Joint Hydrographic Center. In addition, the Committee 
recommends $3,200,000 for bathymetric surveys off the Northeast 
Coast of the United States and around the Aleutian Chain in 
accordance with the data needs identified by a Joint 
Hydrographic Center on the potential expansion of United States 
lands beyond the Exclusive Economic Zone. Within the funding 
recommendation for Shoreline Mapping, the Committee recommends 
that NOS focus on mapping the shoreline of the North Slope of 
Alaska.
    Ocean Resources Conservation and Management.--The Committee 
recommends continued funding for the Coastal Observation 
Technology System within the National Ocean Service to provide 
a national framework, technical assistance, and support for 
sustained coastal observation systems, with particular emphasis 
on coordinating regional systems. The Committee recommendation 
includes $15,700,000 for this program, of which $2,800,000 is 
for the Alliance for Coastal Technologies; $2,800,000 is for 
the Center for Integrated Marine Technologies; $2,800,000 is 
for the University of New Hampshire Sea Grant program; 
$2,000,000 is for the Wallops Ocean Observation Consortium; and 
$2,800,000 is for Carolina Coastal Ocean Observing and 
Prediction System. Funding for this activity is from the 
conservation category.
    The Committee recommends $500,000 for Nowcast/Forecast 
Operational Systems to coordinate research on waves, 
temperature, and current dynamics to forecast weather and ocean 
conditions affecting both wildlife and human safety.
    The Committee recommendation includes $14,000,000 for the 
Coral Reef Program, subject to approval of a spend plan by the 
Committees on Appropriations. The Committee recommends 
$3,000,000 for the Beaufort Laboratory and encourages the lab 
to pursue opportunities for collaborative research with area 
universities. Under Response and Restoration, $750,000 is 
provided for Coastal Remediation Technology to develop a 
cooperative program with the Cooperative Institute for Coastal 
and Estuarine Environmental Technology to evaluate innovative 
environmental technologies for estuary remediation. Under 
funding for the Coastal Ocean Program, the Committee directs 
the program to work with and continue its current levels of 
support for the Baruch Institute's research and monitoring of 
small, high-salinity estuaries and to continue its current 
levels of support for the LUCES program. Within the funds 
provided for the MERHL, the Committee directs NOAA to create a 
scientific and professional (ST) position to act as the 
Director of the MERHL.
    Ocean and Coastal Management.--The Committee recommendation 
includes full funding for Coastal Zone Management Act 
Administration. The Committee recommends $3,483,000 under the 
Administration account. The Committee recommends $33,500,000 
for the National Marine Sanctuary Program (NMSP). The Committee 
supports elevation of the NMSP to that of Office of National 
Marine Sanctuaries. Further, the Committee recommends that this 
Office have authority to create Regional Offices and recommends 
an additional five full-time equivalents to implement this 
regional approach.
    The Committee encourages NOAA to continue its work with the 
Mariner's Museum and the Navy on efforts to recover and 
preserve the Monitor.

          TOTAL, NATIONAL MARINE FISHERERIES SERVICE--

            ORF...............................................   587,852

    Some of the Committee recommendations displayed in the 
table above are described in more detail in the following 
paragraphs.
    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $587,852,000 
for the National Marine Fisheries Service [NMFS]. The 
recommendation is $88,000 below the budget request.
    Base funding.--The Committee has worked closely with the 
National Marine Fisheries Service to differentiate between 
fixed and variable costs, leading to the first accurate 
accounting of so-called base funding. The Committee commends 
those who participated in this endeavor. Transfers of funds 
between subaccounts within the base account, or into or out of 
the base account, shall be subject to reprogramming 
requirements regardless of dollar amount.
    The Committee recommends bill language establishing a NMFS 
Regional Office for the Pacific area. The Committee expects 
that the Regional Administrator for this new regional office be 
hired within 60 days of enactment of this Act.
    Fisheries Litigation Issues.--The Committee recommendation 
includes $5,000,000 for the NMFS to address National 
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) issues. To date, $42,000,000 
has been appropriated to NOAA to maintain an up-to-date 
litigation docket and conduct periodic analyses of its 
litigation record and pending caseload. In the past, the 
Committee has also directed NMFS to improve its administrative 
record keeping by employing standardized methods uniformly 
throughout the regional fisheries management councils, 
fisheries management regions, and fisheries science centers. 
The Committee directed that such an administrative record 
should contain all required analyses, so that officials 
involved in the process could assure themselves by inspection 
that the record supported their proposed actions prior to their 
approval.
    To date, the NMFS has ignored this direction. Furthermore, 
the NMFS has provided no justification of how it has spent the 
funds that have been appropriated for these purposes. To 
curtail such wanton abandon of Congressional direction and to 
help the NMFS come to grips with its litigation shortfalls, the 
Committee recommends a new approach. The Committee recommends 
$5,000,000 to establish an Office of National Environmental 
Policy Act Compliance. This Office will be coordinated by a 
Senior Executive Service level employee who will report 
directly to the Assistant Administrator for Fisheries. Under 
the direction of this National Coordinator, each fisheries 
management regional office or fisheries management council will 
house a regional NEPA Coordinator. At a minimum, NOAA will 
employ 50 individuals by September 30, 2003 to work on its NEPA 
issues. None of the funds recommended for this effort will be 
made available for regional council support. NMFS shall submit 
for approval to the Committees on Appropriations a spend plan 
on this action before November 30, 2002.
    The Committee is pleased with the work conducted by 
National Academy of Public Administration and the National 
Research Council on its report, An Independent Assessment of 
the Resource Requirements for the National Marine Fisheries 
Service. The Committee recommends that NAPA continue to review 
NMFS management systems and recommends $750,000 for it to do 
so. The Committee also recommends $300,000 for the NRC Ocean 
Studies Board to focus on issues at the interface between 
research and management such as adequacy of equipment, and 
staff training. The Committee looks forward to hearing from the 
NAPA and the NRC on their progress.
    The Committee has included bill language requiring the 
Secretary of Commerce to establish a Regional office for the 
Pacific Area within 60 days of enactment of the Act.
    The Committee recommendation includes $7,000,000 for North 
Atlantic right whale research, management activities, and 
Atlantic coastal States' implemention of cooperative Federal-
State right whale recovery plans, such as those concluded under 
section 6 of the Endangered Species Act [ESA]. The Committee 
directs that funding for right whales will be in keeping with 
the annualization of the fiscal year 2002 right whale plan as 
approved by Congress. Of the amounts provided, the Committee 
expects NMFS to expedite right whale recovery in consultation 
with the Implementation Team and the Take Reduction Team. The 
NMFS is expected to support priority management, enforcement, 
and ship strike prevention activities, including expedited 
development and deployment of innovative fishing gear and whale 
tracking technologies, improved stranding response and 
procedures, a whale-sighting advisory system, and a mandatory 
ship-reporting system. No more than 20 percent of funds 
provided to NMFS may be used for salaries of existing 
personnel.
    Fisheries Research and Management.--The Committee 
recommends $3,450,000 for the recreational fishing information 
network [RecFIN] program, and expects that the Pacific, 
Atlantic, and Gulf States shall each receive one-third of these 
funds with funding for inshore recreational species assessment 
and tagging efforts in South Carolina. In addition,the 
Committee expects that $500,000 will be used to continue the 
effort to enhance the annual collection and analysis of 
economic data on marine recreational fishing. The Committee 
recommends that the $750,000 for the Interstate Fish 
Commissions be equally divided among the three commissions. As 
in prior fiscal years, funds appropriated for the Hawaii 
Fisheries Development and Hawaii Stock Management Plan programs 
shall be administered by the Oceanic Institute. The Committee 
recommends that NMFS double its effort with regard to 
California Cooperative Fisheries Investigation cruises. Of the 
amounts recommended for the Stellar Sea Lion Recovery Plan, 
$1,000,000 is for Alaska Fisheries Foundation to study 
innovative methods to deter whale predation of sea lions. In 
addition, the Committee expects NOAA to continue its research 
initiative on Pacific decadal oscillation, predator-prey 
relationships with particular emphasis on killer whale 
predation on sea lion pups, and to explore other factors in the 
marine environment that may be contributing to the decline of 
Stellar sea lions and other marine mammal populations.
    Of the amounts recommended for SCORE, $1,000,000 is for New 
Hampshire, $1,000,000 is for South Carolina, and $1,000,000 is 
for the Mote Marine Laboratory.
    Protected Resources Research and Management.--Of the 
amounts provided for Native Marine Mammals, $100,000 is to 
enable the Alaska Eskimo Whaling Commission to participate in 
International Whaling Commission meetings.
    Habitat Conservation.--The Committee recommendation 
includes $3,500,000 for Chesapeake Bay Studies, of which 
$500,000 is for sea grass restoration. In addition, the 
Committee recommends that NOAA continue a micro-grant program 
allowing local governments and non-profit organizations to 
perform fisheries and shellfish restoration on the Chesapeake 
Bay. The Committee recommendation includes $1,500,000 for seven 
full-time equivalents for the Oxford Laboratory to support the 
NOAA Chesapeake Bay Office's fisheries, habitat restoration, 
and ecosystem research needs. The Committee provides a total of 
$3,500,000 for the Bay Watersheds Education and Training 
Program to be administered by the NOAA Chesapeake Bay Office. 
Of this amount, $2,000,000 is to continue the program in the 
Chesapeake Bay Watershed, $500,000 is for a pilot program in 
the Narragansett Bay, $500,000 is for a pilot program in the 
Mystic River Estuary, and $500,000 is for a pilot program in 
the Monterey Bay.
    Enforcement and Surveillance.--The Committee recommendation 
provides $350,000 for a fisheries research vessel for the South 
Carolina Department of Natural Resources. The Committee 
recommends continued support at last year's level for marine 
forensics and southeast fisheries' law enforcement, and the 
Committee expects continued cooperative laboratory activities 
between NMFS and State and local governments and the academic 
community. The Committee recommends that the three interstate 
marine fisheries commissions may be eligible to receive a 
portion of the Cooperative Enforcement Program funds for use in 
providing law enforcement coordination among the States and 
NMFS. Of the amounts provided for Enforcement and Surveillance-
Cooperative Agreements with States, the Committee recommends 
$3,500,000 for the South Carolina Department of Natural 
Resources.

      TOTAL NOAA RESEARCH--ORF................................   395,685

    Some of the Committee recommendations displayed in the 
table above are described in more detail in the following 
paragraphs.
    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $395,685,000 
for Oceanic and Atmospheric Research. The recommendation is 
$104,832,000 above the budget request.
    Base funding.--The Committee has worked closely with the 
Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research to differentiate 
between fixed and variable costs, leading to the first accurate 
accounting of so-called base funding. The Committee commends 
those who participated in this endeavor. The amounts 
recommended under Oceanic and Atmospheric Research, 
``Laboratories and Joint Institutes'', ``Climate and Global 
Change-Base Program'', and ``U.S. Weather Research Program-
Base'', are subject to the following funding guidelines: 
Thirty-two percent is for direct labor; 8 percent is for 
personnel benefits; 1 percent is for former personnel; 2 
percent is for travel of persons; 6 percent is for rent and 
utilities; 20 percent is for contractual services; 4 percent is 
for supplies and materials; 3 percent is for equipment; 23 
percent is for grants and fixed charges; and 1 percent is for 
miscellaneous expenses. Transfers of funds between these 
guidelines, or into or out of the base accounts, shall be 
subject to reprogramming requirements regardless of dollar 
amount.
    Climate Change Research Initiative.--The Committee does not 
recommend $18,000,000 as requested, for the Climate Change 
Research Initiative. The Committee has reviewed this initiative 
and has concluded that it is an ill-defined program established 
through the political process. The Committee has, for many 
years, supported robust funding for the Climate and Global 
Change Program and activities under Climate Observations and 
Services. The Committee is concerned that the administration's 
proposed increases for Climate Change Research are not provided 
under the Global Change Research Program, but under a separate 
Climate Change Research Initiative not related to the research 
program being conducted pursuant to the coordinated Federal 
process established by Congress in the Global Change Research 
Act of 1990. The Committee supports increased funding for 
global climate change but believes that the funding should be 
provided to NOAA for research priorities established under the 
U.S. Global Climate Research Program decision making structure. 
The Committee has provided $159,201,000 for climate research. 
This funding level does not include funds appropriated for 
climate research elsewhere within NOAA's budget.
    Of the amounts provided for Tsunami Hazard Mitigation, 
$1,000,000 is for the Tsunami Warning and Environmental 
Observing in Alaska.
    Ocean Exploration.--The Committee recommendation includes 
$20,000,000 for Ocean Exploration, an increase of $6,000,000 
over the fiscal year 2002 level. Of this amount, the Committee 
recommends $1,000,000 for the Center for Marine Cultural 
Resources. These amounts will be administered by NOAA to 
establish a Cooperative Institute of Marine Cultural Resources, 
in collaboration with the University of Rhode Island and NOAA's 
Ocean Exploration program.
    NISA.--The Committee recommends $2,250,000 for National 
Invasive Species Act/Ballast Water Demonstrations. The amount 
recommended is for the Chesapeake Bay and Great Lakes ballast 
water demonstrations to be allocated according to the fiscal 
year 2002 level. Of the amounts provided, $250,000 is for the 
Center for Innovative Technologies to continue activities begun 
in fiscal year 2002.
    NISA Alaska.--The Committee recommends $1,750,000 to 
address the proliferation of exotic species such as Atlantic 
salmon in the marine environment in the North Pacific. Of this 
amount, $750,000 is for the Pacific States Marine Fisheries 
Commission to prevent the escapement of Atlantic salmon from 
Alaska streams and to address other invasive species issues 
including mitten crab, and green crab.
    Ocean, Coastal, and Great Lakes Research.--Within the 
amount provided for the Great Lakes Environmental Research Lab 
(GLERL), the Committee recommends that NOAA support research 
programs on aquatic invasive species mitigation and reduction 
in the Lake Champlain Basin. Of the amounts recommended for the 
National Sea Grant College Program, no less than $3,000,000 
will be dedicated towards hiring of additional personnel, at 
the State program level, to act as liaisons between NOAA, Sea 
Grant Institutions, and the commercial and recreational fishing 
industries. The Committee recommends $13,770,000 for the 
National Undersea Research Program (NURP). Of the amount 
provided, $6,885,000 is for research conducted through the east 
coast NURP centers and $6,885,000 is for the west coast NURP 
centers, including the Hawaiian and Pacific Center and the West 
Coast and Polar Regions Center. The Committee expects level 
funding will be available for Aquarius, ALVIN, and program 
administration.
    The Committee recommends $12,000,000 for the next 
generation undersea laboratory/habitat. The Committee directs 
the Administrator of NOAA, working with NURP, the Office of 
Ocean Exploration, the Director of the National Marine 
Sanctuaries in Key Largo, Florida as well as the University of 
North Carolina Wilmington to design and build a new relocatable 
undersea laboratory/habitat. This new, modern laboratory/
habitat supported by the Committee's recommendation will 
significantly improve the Nation's ability to conduct valuable 
research and promote understanding and education of our oceans 
and its resources. Before deployment, an operational plan shall 
be put in place to identify locations only within the waters of 
the United States where this laboratory will be used to address 
our most important marine challenges in priority order. This 
plan shall be submitted to the Committees on Appropriations for 
approval. This new platform shall be deployed first in the 
Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary, in an area such as the 
Tortugas reserve.
    The Committee recommendation includes $2,000,000 for Arctic 
Research. Of this amount, $350,000 is for the Cooperative 
Institute for Arctic Research.

      TOTAL NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE--ORF.....................   682,010

    Some of the Committee recommendations displayed in the 
table above are described in more detail in the following 
paragraphs.
    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $682,010,000 
for the National Weather Service [NWS] for operations, 
acquisitions, and research. The recommendation is $75,099 above 
the request.
    Local Warnings and Forecasts.--The ``1995 Secretary's 
Report to Congress on Adequacy of NEXRAD Coverage and 
Degradation of Weather Services'' requested further studies of 
several sites, including Williston, ND and Erie, PA. The 
Committee provided funds to begin mitigation in fiscal year 
1999 at these sites. The Committee has provided $4,790,000 to 
continue current operations at these sites. In addition, the 
Committee directs the NWS to make appropriate arrangements to 
maintain a local presence for the maintenance of the NOAA 
weather radio antenna in Erie, PA and develop a strategy to 
adequately address the prediction of lake-effect snow in the 
area.
    The Committee recommendation includes $3,000,000 to 
complete analysis of the air quality pilot program, finalize a 
concept of operations, and begin procurement of the information 
technology infrastructure necessary to support operational air 
quality forecasts by the end of fiscal year 2004. In addition, 
$3,000,000 is provided to complete the operational 
implementation of the temperature forecasting pilot in New 
England. The Committee recommendation provides for the 
modernization of a total of 200 meteorological observing 
stations and for the operational use of high resolution 
forecasts models at 8 sites in fiscal year 2003.

    The Committee recommendation provides $903,410,000 for 
Procurement, Acquisition, and Construction. The recommendation 
is $92,023,000 above the request. The amount provided includes 
$100,512,000 for programs in the conservation spending 
category.
    Some of the Committee recommendations displayed in the 
table above are described in more detail in the following 
paragraphs.
    National Ocean Service.--The Committee recommends 
$60,000,000 for the coastal and estuarine land conservation 
program. This program is funded under the conservation spending 
category. This program provides funds for matching grants to 
States, communities, and groups engaged in land conservation 
efforts that benefit coastal and estuarine areas. These funds 
will be used expressly to acquire lands or interests in lands 
that include significant conservation, recreation, ecological, 
historical or aesthetic values to further the goals of a 
federally approved Coastal Zone Management Program or a 
National Estuarine Research Reserve. Of the amount provided for 
this program in fiscal year 2003, the Committee recommends the 
following projects: $2,000,000 for the Seacoast in New 
Hampshire, $2,000,000 for Cooper River, West Bank, South 
Carolina, $10,000,000 for Bonneau Ferry, South Carolina, 
$2,000,000 for Los Cerritos Wetlands in California, $1,900,000 
for Rocky Point in Rhode Island, $2,000,000 for Satilla River 
in Georgia, $2,000,000 for Harbor Herons in New York, 
$2,200,000 for Deer Island in Mississippi, $2,000,000 for North 
Bass Island in Ohio, $2,000,000 for East Sandusky Bay in Ohio, 
$2,000,000 for Mill River in Connecticut, $300,000 for Farm 
River in Connecticut, $2,000,000 for Morro Bay Dunes in 
California, $3,000,000 for Coastal Lands in Hawaii, $2,000,000 
for Coastal Bays in Maryland, $2,000,000 for Chesapeake, 
Eastern Shore, Maryland, $2,000,000 for Nanjemoy, Maryland, 
$600,000 for Deer Lagoon in Washington, $400,000 for City of 
Two Harbors, MN, $1,600,000 for Wetlands Harbor, LA, and 
$1,000,000 for Long Island Coastal Lands in New York.
    Under a new section entitled, ``Estuarine Land Acquisition 
and Construction,'' the Committee recommends $4,500,000 for ACE 
Basin, $6,000,000 for the Great Bay Partnership, $6,000,000 for 
Grand Bay, MS, and $4,000,000 for Morris Island.
    The Committee recommends $500,000 for repairs and 
facilities improvements at the Beaufort Laboratory. In 
recognition of the dilapidated conditions at the laboratory due 
to decades of neglect, the Committee encourages the lab to 
develop a 10-year facilities plan for Pivers Island.
    Program Support.--The Committee recommendation provides 
$9,000,000 for a Small Waterplane Area Twin Hull vessel to be 
homeported in New Castle, NH.

                      FISHERMEN'S CONTINGENCY FUND

Appropriations, 2002....................................        $952,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................         954,000
Committee recommendation................................         954,000

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $954,000 for 
the fishermen's contingency fund.
    The fishermen's contingency fund provides compensation to 
U.S. fishermen for damage or loss of fishing gear and any 
resulting loss because of natural or man-made obstructions 
related to oil and gas exploration, development, and production 
on the Outer Continental Shelf. The Secretary of Commerce is 
authorized to establish an area account within the fund for any 
area within the Outer Continental Shelf. A holder of a lease, 
permit, easement, or right-of-way in such area is required to 
pay a fee into the appropriate area account in the fund. Each 
area account, if depleted, will be replenished by assessment. 
The authorization stipulates that amounts available in each 
area account can be disbursed only to the extent provided by 
appropriations acts. Since receipts collected may not be 
sufficient for this appropriation, the Committee has included 
language which provides that the sums necessary to eliminate 
the insufficiency may be derived from the general fund of the 
Treasury.

                     FOREIGN FISHING OBSERVER FUND

Appropriations, 2002....................................        $191,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................         191,000
Committee recommendation................................         191,000

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $191,000 for 
the foreign fishing observer fund.
    Fees paid into the fund are collected from owners and 
operators of certain foreign fishing vessels that fish within 
the U.S. fishery conservation zone. The fund supports salaries 
of U.S. observers and program support personnel, other 
administrative costs, and the cost of data management and 
analysis.

                   FISHERIES FINANCE PROGRAM ACCOUNT

Appropriations, 2002....................................        $287,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................................
Committee recommendation................................................

    The Committee notes that an appropriation is not necessary 
for the fisheries finance program account. Of the loan 
authority provided through bill language, $5,000,000 is for 
entry level and small vessel individual fishery quota (IFQ) 
obligation guarantees in the halibut and sablefish fisheries 
off Alaska pursuant to section 1104A(a)(7) of the Merchant 
Marine Act of 1936. These funds are provided for IFQ loans in 
accordance with section 303(d)(4) of the Magnuson-Stevens Act 
and section 108(g) of the Sustainable Fisheries Act.

               General Provisions--Department of Commerce

    The Committee includes the following general provisions for 
the Department of Commerce that were included in the fiscal 
year 2001 appropriations act. Sections 201 through 208 are 
continuations of language included in previous appropriations 
acts.
    Section 201 makes Commerce Department funds available for 
advanced payments only upon certification of officials 
designated by the Secretary that such payments are considered 
to be in the public interest.
    Section 202 makes appropriations for salaries and expenses 
available for the hire of passenger motor vehicles, and for 
services, uniforms, and allowances as authorized by law.
    Section 203 prohibits any funds to be used to support 
hurricane reconnaissance aircraft and activities that are under 
the control of the U.S. Air Force or the U.S. Air Force 
Reserve.
    Section 204 provides the authority to transfer funds 
between Department of Commerce accounts. The language provides 
that no account may be decreased by more than 5 percent or 
increased by more than 10 percent. The language also makes the 
transfers subject to the Committee's standard reprogramming 
procedures.

                        TITLE III--THE JUDICIARY

    The funds provided in title III of the accompanying bill 
are for the operation and maintenance of the U.S. courts and 
include the salaries of judges, magistrates, supporting 
personnel, and other expenses of the Federal judiciary.
    The Committee recommends a total appropriation of 
$4,965,151,000 for the judiciary. The recommendation is 
$276,459,000 below the budget request. The Committee is aware 
that a total of $331,462,000 in fees, reimbursables, and 
carryover is available in various accounts across this title to 
supplement direct appropriations.
    Steady growth in costs associated with Defender Services, 
court security, GSA rental payments, and pay and benefits at a 
time of declining resources continues to put serious pressure 
on the judiciary budget. The Committee urges the judiciary to 
make every effort to contain mandatory costs.

                   Supreme Court of the United States

                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

Appropriations, 2002....................................     $39,988,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................      46,324,000
Committee recommendation................................      44,399,000

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $44,399,000 
for the Justices, their supporting personnel, and the costs of 
operating the Supreme Court, excluding the care of the building 
and grounds. The recommendation is $1,925,000 below the budget 
request. The Committee recommendation includes the fiscal year 
2002 funding level, a 4.1 percent pay adjustment, $3,000,000 
for requested Homeland Security program increases, and certain 
mandatory increases for judicial officers.
    Homeland Security enhancements include $417,000 for costs 
related to an offsite mail screening facility; $871,000 for 
Supreme Court police pay parity and overtime, $162,000 for 
three PC/network/security specialists; and $1,550,000 for 
security related automation enhancements.
    Adjustments to Base.--The Supreme Court included as 
adjustments to base an elevated pay increase, as compared to 
the 2.6 percent pay increase proposed in the budget for all 
other Federal employees, as well as police pay parity and 
overtime. While the Committee included these funds in its 
recommendation, the Committee does not agree with the Court's 
practice of displaying significant program increases as 
adjustments to base. Accordingly, in developing future budget 
requests, the Committee directs the Court to include any non-
mandatory increases, including cost of living increases above 
that proposed in the budget for Federal employees, as program 
increases.

                    CARE OF THE BUILDING AND GROUNDS

Appropriations, 2002....................................     $67,530,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................      53,626,000
Committee recommendation................................      53,304,000

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $53,304,000 
for personnel and other services relating to the Supreme Court 
building and grounds, which is supervised by the Architect of 
the Capitol. The recommendation is $322,000 below the budget 
request. The Committee recommendation includes the fiscal year 
2002 funding level, a 4.1 percent pay adjustment for Federal 
employees, and $55,000 for requested Homeland Security program 
increases, including replacement of seven metal detectors at 
the Supreme Court building.
    Adjustments to Base.--The Court included a number of non-
mandatory increases as adjustments to base, including: an 
elevated pay increase, as compared to the 2.6 percent pay 
increase proposed in the budget for all other Federal 
employees; increases in the cost of training; and exterior 
painting and caulking. As previously stated, the Committee does 
not agree with the Court's practice of displaying significant 
program increases as adjustments to base and directs the Court 
to include any non-mandatory increases as program increases in 
all future budget requests.
    Building renovations.--The recommendation includes 
$49,696,000 to complete funding for critical upgrades to the 
Supreme Court building. By providing the remaining funds needed 
for this renovation project, the Architect of the Capitol, who 
is responsible for maintaining this historic structure, may 
pursue a single contract to ensure accountability of the 
contractors. The Architect of the Capitol shall submit to the 
Committees on Appropriations a meaningful schedule and cost 
estimate based upon updated design plans for the renovation 
project by December 15, 2002 and shall update the report upon 
completion of the plans.

Appeals, District Courts, and Other Judicial Services. The 
recommendation is $199,896,000 below the budget request. The 
Committee notes that the judiciary reestimate of funding 
requirements is $18,945,000 below the budget request. As noted 
at the beginning of the title, the Committee understands that 
at least $120,588,000 in carryover will be available to apply 
to this account, if necessary.
    The Committee recommendation includes the fiscal year 2002 
funding level, a 4.1 percent pay adjustment, $150,161,000 for 
Homeland Security related enhancements, and certain mandatory 
increases for judicial officers.

               THE NATIONAL CHILDHOOD VACCINE INJURY ACT

Appropriations, 2002....................................      $2,692,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................       2,784,000
Committee recommendation................................       2,784,000

    The Committee recommends a reimbursement of $2,784,000 from 
the special fund to cover expenses of the claims court 
associated with processing cases under the National Childhood 
Vaccine Injury Act of 1986. The recommendation is identical to 
the budget request.

                           DEFENDER SERVICES

Appropriations, 2002....................................    $500,671,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................     588,741,000
Committee recommendation................................     531,792,000

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $531,792,000. 
The recommendation is $56,949,000 below the budget request.
    The Committee recommendation includes the fiscal year 2002 
funding level, a 4.1 percent pay adjustment, and $24,149,000 
for Homeland Security related enhancements, including increases 
in the number of representations by the Federal Defender 
Organization and Criminal Justice Act (CJA) Panel Attorneys. 
The Committee continues to support the $90 hourly for CJA panel 
attorneys.
    This account funds the operations of the Federal public 
defender and community defender organizations and the 
compensation, reimbursement, and expenses of attorneys 
appointed to represent persons under the CJA, as amended.
    Criminal Justice Act Panel Attorney Rates.--In fiscal year 
2002, the Committee provided a significant increase in CJA 
panel attorney hourly rates from $75 to $90 in-court and from 
$55 to $90 out-of-court. This large increase was funded and 
approved by Congress because the hourly rates authorized in 
1986 had not kept pace with inflation and many Federal judges 
were reporting difficulty in finding qualified counsel willing 
to accept CJA appointments at rates that were one-third to one-
half the rates charged in private practice.
    This year, the request included an additional increase in 
the CJA hourly rate to $113, a 25 percent increase over the 
recently approved increased rate of $90 for fiscal year 2002. 
The Committee believes this request is premature since the 
current hourly rate of $90 was only implemented in May, 2002, 
and it is too soon to determine whether the new $90 rate will 
address the problem of obtaining adequate counsel.
    The Committee does not agree with the judiciary practice of 
displaying significant increases in CJA panel attorney hourly 
rates as an adjustment to base. Accordingly, in developing 
future budget requests, the Committee directs the judiciary to 
include any increase in CJA panel attorney hourly rates, above 
the cost of living increase proposed in the budget for Federal 
employees, as a program increase.

                    FEES OF JURORS AND COMMISSIONERS

Appropriations, 2002....................................     $48,131,000

Committee recommendation................................      54,636,000

    This account provides for the fees and allowances of grand 
and petit jurors and for the compensation of land commissioners 
and jury commissioners.
    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $54,636,000. 
The recommendation reflects the judiciary's reestimate of 
fiscal year 2003 requirements.

                             COURT SECURITY

Appropriations, 2002....................................    $220,677,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................     298,235,000
Committee recommendation................................     290,442,000

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $290,442,000. 
The recommendation is $7,793,000 below the budget request. The 
Committee recommendation includes the fiscal year 2002 funding 
level, a 4.1 percent pay adjustment and $37,437,000 for 
requested Homeland Security program increases.
    Growth in the Court Security Program.--The Committee notes 
the substantial growth in funding experienced in the Court 
Security Program. In the past 5 years, the program has nearly 
doubled--increasing from $167,000,000 in fiscal year 1998 to a 
total appropriation of almost $300,000,000 in fiscal year 2002. 
In light of this growth, the Committee wants to ensure that 
these resources are being efficiently managed and spent for the 
purposes for which they have been appropriated. Therefore, the 
Committee requires the submission of a court security program 
spending plan, in accordance with Section 605 of this Act, 
prior to the obligation of no more than 25 percent of the funds 
appropriated herein. Further, the Committee notes and 
emphasizes the role of the Administrative Office of the U.S. 
Courts (AO) to oversee and ensure the effective use of court 
security funds and expects the Director of the AO to coordinate 
the development of this plan with the assistance of the United 
States Marshals Service.
    Supervisory-Level Deputy U.S. Marshals.--The Committee 
recommendation includes bill language and funding to support 
106 supervisory, deputy marshals at the local level to 
coordinate the protection of judges both on and off site, 
oversee the courthouse security program, and ensure that 
emergency response procedures for chemical/biological, 
terrorist, or other attacks are in place. The Committee 
understands that these supervisory-level deputy marshals will 
be devoted full-time to judicial security.
    Court Security Officers (CSO) Revised Medical Standards.--
In January 2001, the U.S. Marshals Service began implementing 
new CSO medical examination procedures and revised medical 
standards based on the results of a requirements study of CSO 
duties conducted by the Public Health Service's Office of 
Federal Law Enforcement Medical Programs. To ensure that CSOs 
are as physically fit as necessary to perform their security 
functions and respond in emergency situations, the Committee 
fully supports the implementation of these new medical 
procedures and standards.

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

    Some of the Committee recommendations displayed in the 
table are described in more detail in the following paragraphs.
    New post openings.--The Committee is aware that regional 
bureaus have discovered a clever way to influence the process 
by which Congress must consider and approve any request by the 
Department of State to open a new post. The Committee is aware 
of an instance in which a post, with the support of its parent 
bureau, arranged for temporary and long term office space and 
housing, hired local nationals onto the staff, and began 
conducting relations with the local host government before the 
request was even transmitted to Congress. By establishing this 
foothold presence, the Embassy and the bureau make it all but 
impossible for State and Congress to deny the request, even if 
it makes good policy sense to do so. Congressional approval is 
not a formality. The Committee firmly believes that, while 
posts should have input into decisions about expanding the U.S. 
presence, they should not drive the process. Decisions about 
post openings must be based on both overall foreign policy 
objectives, and resource limitations of the Department. All 
future requests to establish new U.S. consulates must hereafter 
be accompanied by a full accounting of an embassy's 
expenditures in the region in question, including costs 
associated with local hires, operational expenses, Temporary 
Duty Assignment (TDY) personnel, and travel. Additionally, each 
regional bureau must, on an annual basis, submit to the 
Committee a comprehensive accounting of the cost of any 
Department of State activities that take place outside of a 
geographic radius of 200 miles of an already-established and 
Congressionally-approved post. These reports should be compiled 
and delivered to the Committee at the time of the Department's 
yearly budget submission to Congress.
    Diplomatic Security.--Explosive growth in Diplomatic 
Security (DS) manning has created an imbalance between seasoned 
and unseasoned agents that can only be solved with time. The 
best training available does not compare to the value of 
experience. Of the 893 Diplomatic Security personnel, more than 
half the growth has taken place during the past 2 years, with 
389 new Diplomatic Security agents hired in fiscal year 2002, 
and with 92 new Diplomatic Security agents hired in fiscal year 
2001. Furthermore, the Committee remains concerned about 
Department decisions concerning the placement of DS agents. The 
purpose of the Bureau of Diplomatic Security is to provide a 
secure environment for the conduct of American diplomacy 
worldwide. The Committee understands that DS must maintain a 
base staff in Washington, DC, and that it is responsible for 
the security of approximately 100 domestic locations. However, 
DS cannot perform its core mission of protecting the more than 
50,000 U.S. Government personnel, staff, and dependents who 
serve at our 260 overseas posts--where the threat is much 
higher--unless its agents are out in the field, at post. This 
is a time of heightened threat to our installations abroad, as 
demonstrated most recently by attacks against the U.S. 
Consulate in Karachi, Pakistan, and an American-attended place 
of worship in Islamabad, Pakistan, as well as threats against 
U.S. properties in Rome, Italy and Bogota, Colombia. Given this 
changed security environment, the Committee is alarmed by DS' 
continued stubbornness on the issue of placement of DS agents 
overseas. The Committee is aware that there are 799 Diplomatic 
Security personnel managing facilities at 100 locations in the 
United States while there are only 94 Diplomatic Security 
agents posted abroad. The Committee recommends full funding for 
the 134 Diplomatic Security agents; however, no less than 100 
of the new hires shall be posted overseas at the nation's most 
critical posts. In addition, the Committee directs the 
Department to shift no fewer than 250 agents to the most 
critical overseas posts no later than March 1, 2003.
    Worldwide security upgrades.--The Committee recommendation 
includes $579,086,000 for worldwide security upgrades, of which 
$504,889,000 is for ongoing security activities and $52,000,000 
is for the Center for Anti-Terrorism Security Training. Full 
funding is provided for procedural and technical security 
enhancements as well as for training, operational support, and 
infrastructure. Of the funding provided for guards-worldwide 
protection, $5,000,000 is for uniformed protection officers to 
provide additional perimeter patrol, and delivery vehicle 
inspections 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for an additional 19 
high-risk posts. None of the funds provided for security may be 
obligated until a complete and thorough accounting of prior 
year security funds has been forwarded to the Committee.
    Security enhancements.--At this time of heightened threat 
to American posts abroad, the benefits of the security 
enhancement funds the Committee has provided to the Department 
since the Dar and Nairobi bombings in 1998 are being realized. 
The most recent indicator of the benefit of improving physical 
security at U.S. posts overseas came on June 14, 2002, when a 
suicide bomber detonated a 500-pound fertilizer bomb outside 
the U.S. Consulate General in Karachi. While, tragically, the 
lives of local Pakistani guards and passers-by were lost, the 
loss of American lives was prevented and the physical damage to 
the building was minimized. While the blast shattered a section 
of the wall, the office building was not damaged in any 
significant way. The Consulate's perimeter wall had recently 
been reinforced, and barriers installed between the wall and 
the street prevented the vehicle from reaching the building. 
Shatter resistant window film also significantly mitigated the 
force of the blast. An earlier reconfiguration of interior 
office space, undertaken to provide additional blast 
separation, also proved helpful. The Committee believes that 
continual security upgrades to existing properties are as 
important as the Department's Capital Security Construction 
program. The Committee urges the Department to consider 
augmenting its funding request next fiscal year and in future 
years under the Worldwide Security Upgrades account.
    Host country relations.--The Committee recommendation 
includes $2,000,000 out of available funds to continue the 
Ambassador's Fund for Cultural Preservation. U.S. Ambassadors 
serving in less developed countries may submit competitive 
proposals for one-time or recurring projects with awards based 
on the importance of the site, the country's need, and the 
potential of the award to make a meaningful contribution to the 
preservation of a site, object, or form of expression. The 
Department is directed to submit an annual report to the 
Committees on Appropriations on winning projects.
    Bureau of Consular Affairs.--The Bureau of Consular Affairs 
is tasked with providing support to U.S. citizens abroad, 
facilitating travel to and from, as well as immigration to, the 
United States, and serving as the first firewall of our 
National border security framework. Because of its 
responsibilities in these areas, the Bureau of Consular Affairs 
has more daily interaction with individuals, both U.S. citizens 
and foreign nationals, than any other branch of the State 
Department. The Committee is aware that the majority of 
Consular Affairs personnel respond to inquiries, requests, and 
crises in a professional and courteous manner. However, the 
Committee also is aware of an increasing number of complaints 
by Americans and foreign nationals about discourteous treatment 
at certain U.S. posts overseas. The Department has no formal 
process by which it addresses such complaints and, when 
warranted, to discipline this unacceptable behavior. The 
Committee recommendation includes $500,000, to be transferred 
to the Office of the Inspector General of the Department of 
State, with which it shall undertake a thorough review of the 
quality of service Consular Affairs provides to both the U.S. 
and non-U.S. public it is intended to serve. This review should 
consider the nature and quantity of the complaints received, to 
the extent that such information is available, those policies 
and procedures currently in place within the Bureau of Consular 
Affairs that may cause the Bureau's service to be less than 
optimal, and recommendations for how consular services can be 
improved. The Committee furthermore expects the report to 
outline a proposal for a new, systemized way of tracking and 
addressing future complaints to the Department directed at the 
Bureau Consular Affairs. The Inspector General's report should 
be submitted to the Committees on Appropriations no later than 
March 27, 2003. Once the Department has established a system as 
described above, complaints received from U.S. citizens 
directed at any Foreign Service Officer shall, as a matter of 
policy, be referred to the Bureau of Human Resources for 
review. If a Foreign Service Officer receives two or more 
complaints within a 6-month period, the Bureau of Human 
Resources is directed to conduct an administrative hearing to 
determine whether further professional development training or 
disciplinary action is warranted.
    Consular workspace improvement initiative.--The Committee 
believes that the Department's consular mission is critical to 
U.S. national security. Consular workspace must be adequately 
sized and outfitted in order to ensure that the processing of 
visas and visa applicants takes place in an organized and 
efficient manner. To ensure this, and to improve the overall 
working environment for Consular Affairs Officers, the 
Committee directs the Office of Overseas Buildings Operations 
(OBO) to undertake a 3-year Consular Workspace Improvement 
Initiative. The Committee is aware that, traditionally, OBO 
considers posts' facilities requirements in a holistic manner, 
and does not single out specific bureaus for workspace 
improvements. However, the Committee is also aware of the 
direct link between the quality of consular workspace and the 
efficiency and accuracy of consular work. There is a pressing 
need for additional consular windows and interview space, 
enlarged reception and waiting areas, office space, and 
document storage space. The initiative should identify posts 
for consular workspace rehabilitation where errors in visa 
issuance present the greatest threat to U.S. national security 
interests, as determined by OBO in consultation with the Bureau 
of Consular Affairs. The Committee expects construction work to 
begin on priority projects no later than 60 days after the 
enactment of this Act. The Committee directs that $10,000,000 
from MRV fees be used for this initiative.
    Language training.--Several reports have identified a 
serious shortage within the Federal Government of personnel who 
possess the language skills required for their positions. This 
shortcoming has been long apparent at the Department of State 
where reliable aggregate data on the language capabilities of 
Foreign Service Officers (FSOs) is not generally available or, 
when available, is seriously flawed. The Department has 
indicated that the primary factor contributing to its inability 
to meet its language staffing and proficiency goals is an 
overall staffing shortfall of more than 1,100 people, as 
identified in the Department-generated Diplomatic Hiring 
Report. This report precipitated the Diplomatic Hiring 
Initiative, a program under which 1,158 new Foreign Service 
Officers will be hired over a 3-year period. However, the 
Committee is acutely aware that the Diplomatic Hiring 
Initiative does little to address the specific problem of 
language proficiency at the Department of State. Funds 
available for salaries should be leveraged to provide pay 
incentives to FSOs who gain expertise in hard-to-learn 
languages, to provide an attractive career path for linguists, 
to enhance the retention of FSOs with desired language skills, 
and to provide ample training opportunities to FSOs willing to 
learn a difficult language mid-career. Funds provided for 
workforce retention should also be utilized to recruit native 
speakers of difficult and hard to fill languages, drawing upon 
the vast human resources afforded by a demographically diverse 
United States. Language proficiency must be one of the key 
criteria in the selection of FSOs. If our diplomats truly are 
our ``first line of defense'' against foreign threats to the 
U.S. homeland, then their ability to converse fluently in the 
languages of the countries to which they are posted is critical 
to U.S. National security. The Committee therefore directs that 
not less than 20 percent of the FSOs hired during fiscal year 
2003 possess language skills of at least level 3 (General 
Professional) or greater on the foreign language proficiency 
scale. Further, the Committee directs that not less than 2 
percent of the foreign service officers hired during fiscal 
year 2003 possess a proficiency level of 2 (Limited Working) or 
greater in one or more of the following difficult languages: 
Mandarin Chinese, Arabic, Japanese, Korean, and Cantonese 
Chinese. Finally, the Committee directs the Department to 
develop a proposal, to be submitted to the Committees on 
Appropriations by September 31, 2002, for approval, for a pay 
incentive package exclusively for current and future Foreign 
Service Officers who have achieved level 4 (Advanced 
Professional) proficiency or greater in at least one of the 
aforementioned difficult languages.
    Continuing language education.--Language skills ensure 
dependents of Department of State personnel are not overwhelmed 
by feelings of isolation and alienation, resulting in lowered 
post morale. Within available funds, the Committee 
recommendation directs that $10,000,000 shall be available only 
for continuing language education programs for both employees 
and dependents at posts worldwide. Language classes should also 
be open to non-State Department (Federal) employees on a space-
available, reimbursable basis.
    Office of Foreign Missions.--The Committee directs that the 
Office of Foreign Missions (OFM) be moved out of Bureau of 
Diplomatic Security (DS) and placed under the Deputy Secretary 
of State for Management and Resources. The Committee expects 
OFM and DS to continue to coordinate closely after it has been 
transferred.
    International conservation of sea turtles.--The Committee 
remains concerned with the increasing threat to sea turtles, 
particularly those listed under the Convention on International 
Trade on Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora [CITES], 
from incidental capture by foreign fleets, particularly in the 
longline fishery. The Committee is equally concerned by the 
Department's decision to ignore Committee direction for the 
past 2 years. Specifically, direction stating that the 
Secretary of State shall, on an expedited basis, negotiate 
strong, enforceable management, reporting, and data collection 
measures (including economic measures) focused on reducing 
incidental capture of sea turtles in commercial fisheries under 
regional management agreements for living marine resources, 
including the Inter-American Sea Turtle Conservation Treaty, 
the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Convention, the International 
Convention for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas, and the 
Convention on the Conservation and Management of Highly 
Migratory Fish Stocks in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean 
(the Multilateral High Level Conference). The Committee is 
concerned that no international agreements specifically 
addressing turtle by-catch from longline fishing have been 
negotiated, and the Department has negotiated only voluntary 
initiatives rather than binding agreements to this end.
    Therefore, the Committee directs the Secretary of State, in 
cooperation with the Secretary of Commerce, to use all 
appropriate means available to broaden the participation of 
other nations in the Convention on the Conservation and 
Management of Highly Migratory Species in the Western and 
Central Pacific Ocean. Of the funding provided for the Bureau 
of Oceans and International Environmental and Scientific 
Affairs, $4,000,000 shall be available only for negotiating, in 
consultation with the Department of Commerce, a binding 
agreement providing for annual reductions in sea turtle 
mortality in the longline fisheries of the Western and Central 
Pacific, that shall, by 2008, result in at least a 30 percent 
reduction in takes, and thereafter result in such fisheries 
meeting sea turtle take levels comparable to those achieved by 
the U.S. longline fleet.
    Rule of law.--The Committee recognizes that there is a need 
for a continuing global dialogue about the rule of law and its 
importance for the stability and viability of all nations. 
Within the amounts provided under Diplomatic and Consular 
Programs, $1,800,000 is for the Rule of Law Forum for foreign 
government and non-government officials to be hosted by the 
Dedman School of Law.
    International trade.--Every year the State Department 
attempts to pursue international trade activities that are 
rightfully within the traditional domain of the Commerce 
Department's International Trade Administration, particularly 
within the area of expertise of the United States and Foreign 
Commercial Service. This continual push by the State Department 
to expand its jurisdiction in this area runs counter to the 
wishes of the Committee which notes the expansive and 
intractable foreign policy issues already confronting the 
Department. No funding is provided for this initiative.
    Secure Card Technology.--The Committee is aware that the 
U.S. Embassy in Mexico City began issuing secure laser visa 
border crossing cards to Mexican visitors in May, 2002. The 
Committee directs the Department of State, in consultation with 
the Immigration and Naturalization service, to report no later 
than February 5, 2003 on the success of this secure visa 
issuance program in Mexico City, and provide recommendation to 
the Committee regarding the expansion of this visa issuance 
process to all visa types and using the same secure card 
technology in U.S. foreign missions.
    Fingerprint services.--In order to implement Section 113 of 
the Aviation and Transportation Security Act in the most 
prudent manner, the Committee directs the U.S. embassies and 
consulates with fingerprinting capabilities to fingerprint 
aliens seeking first-time flight training in aircraft weighing 
12,500 pounds or more and transmit those fingerprints to the 
Department of Justice and other relevant agencies for the 
purposes of checking fingerprints against appropriate terrorist 
watch-lists.
    International Child Abductions.--The Committee remains 
concerned about the adequacy of the Department's efforts to 
counter the serious problem of international child abductions. 
Within 90 days of enactment of this Act, the Department is 
directed to submit a report to the Committees on Appropriations 
which includes the following information: the country and 
location and number of all known U.S. citizens under the age of 
18 who have been abducted by a parent or relative as the result 
of a custody dispute and who are being held abroad in 
contravention of U.S. laws or judicial orders; a summary of 
actions taken by the Department of State to secure the 
repatriation of abducted American children; and a list of 
diplomatic measures, including treaties and agreements, that 
can be used to facilitate the repatriation of abducted American 
children.
    The Committee strongly encourages the State Department to 
release the State Department's report on compliance with the 
Hague Convention on the International Aspects of Child 
Abduction (``the Hague''). The Hague Convention, which the 
United States and many of our Allies have signed, is in place 
to facilitate the return of internationally abducted children 
to their countries of ``habitual residence'' for custody 
determination. The Committee recognizes the importance of 
compliance with the Hague and requests this report be sent to 
the Senate Appropriations Committee and the Senate Foreign 
Relations Committee no later than January 1, 2003.

      Total, IRM Central Fund...........................        296,000 

    Some of the Committee recommendations displayed in the 
table above are described in more detail in the following 
paragraphs.
    Information Technology.--The Committee commends the 
Department for its commitment to overhauling its Information 
Technology (IT) infrastructure. Having received ample funding 
in fiscal year 2002 for its IT priorities, the Department is 
meeting the Committee's requirement to execute certain priority 
programs more quickly than originally planned. Two major 
initiatives, the deployment of OpenNet Plus and the overhaul of 
the Department's classified network are on-schedule and on-
budget, with OpenNet Plus, scheduled for completion in April, 
2003, and the Classified Connectivity Program, scheduled for 
completion in early fiscal year 2004. Providing the Department 
with state-of-the-art communications, data, and knowledge 
management systems is, once again, one of the Committee's top 
priorities for the Department of State. Full funding is 
therefore provided for the IRM Central Fund, per the above 
chart. The Committee expects the Department's next major IT 
initiative, replacement of the cable system with a modern, 
integrated messaging system, to proceed as expeditiously as 
have its other global-scale projects.
    Enterprise architecture.--The Committee has invested 
hundreds of millions of dollars to overhaul the State 
Department's IT infrastructure, which had been allowed to grow 
outmoded and obsolete, with a state-of-the-art IT 
infrastructure. The Committee remains concerned, however, that 
the next time the Department faces slowed budget growth or even 
budget cutbacks, it will choose to hire more analysts and open 
more posts at the expense of the necessary annual investments 
in infrastructure. The Committee therefore directs that the 
Chief Information Officer of the Department develop an annex to 
the existing IT Strategic Plan which outlines in detail the 
Department's 5-year strategy for maintaining and upgrading its 
existing IT infrastructure. This strategy will help ensure that 
the significant investments the Committee has made in the last 
2 years are not lost, and that the Department's current IT 
infrastructure is leveraged both to capitalize on these prior 
investments and to meet the needs of the Department. The 
Department is directed to submit this annex to the Committees 
on Appropriations no later than February 1, 2003.
    IT human capital.--The success of OpenNet Plus and the 
Classified Connectivity Program is due to the Department's 
establishment of a permanent, professional IT planning staff 
within the Bureau of Information Resource Management. This 
staff has been tasked with developing an enterprise 
architecture to address all of the Department's current and 
future technology needs. It is crucial that the Department's IT 
personnel be drawn from among the best in their fields. The 
Committee therefore directs the Bureau of Human resources, in 
consultation with the Chief Information Officer of the 
Department, to report to the Committees on Appropriations on 
how the Department plans to meet its short and long-term human 
capital needs in the area of information technology. The report 
should address such issues as pay parity, specialized 
recruitment strategies, and preventing attrition to the private 
sector.
    Centralized management.--The Committee supports the trend 
at the Department towards the central management of 
information. The Committee is aware that, at a time of 
heightened threat to our overseas posts, the ability to store 
and manage information, particularly classified information, 
domestically can greatly enhance the security of that 
information. The Committee accepts that the cost of centrally 
managing information is higher due to the cost of acquiring 
bandwidth. However, the benefits of a more robust security 
construct far outweigh the additional cost. One technology that 
appears particularly promising is the high-assurance virtual 
wide area network (WAN). This technology would allow the 
Department to minimize the information stored at post and 
permit computer terminals to be ``sanitized'' of sensitive 
information when not in use. Of the funds made available under 
the IRM Central Fund for Centrally Managed Infrastructure, 
$10,000,000 shall be for a pilot project to develop a high-
assurance virtual WAN architecture and prototype in support of 
Department of State activities.
    IT Common Platform.--The events of September 11, 2001, have 
caused the Federal agencies and departments to reexamine the 
way in which they communicate, particularly on matters relating 
to national security. Inadequate communication and coordination 
among the foreign affairs agencies, including the Department of 
State, increases our vulnerability to terrorism. Since 
September 11, agencies have taken steps to close the loopholes 
that existed with respect to information-sharing. However, the 
key to better communication and coordination among these 
agencies does not necessarily lie in their ability to 
interface, but rather in the individual department cultures 
that compel them to do so. Foreign affairs agencies have the 
capability to share unclassified and classified information, 
but they are not intrinsically inclined to do so. What is 
required to change these cultures is a dynamic, user-friendly 
portal through which these agencies can, as a matter of course, 
share information and collaborate their efforts. The Committee 
supports the continued development of the Foreign Affairs 
System Integration (FASI) project, sometimes referred to as the 
Collaboration Zone, which is currently in the pilot phase. The 
Department should henceforth provide a bimonthly status report 
on the progress of this initiative to the Committees on 
Appropriations.

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $29,693,000. 
The recommendation is $329,000 above the budget request. The 
Committee recommendation includes the fiscal year 2002 funding 
level, and a 4.1 percent pay adjustment for Federal employees.

Budget estimate, 2003...................................     245,306,000
Committee recommendation................................     237,771,000

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $237,771,000. 
The recommendation is $7,535,000 below the budget request. The 
Committee recommendation includes the fiscal year 2002 funding 
level, and a 4.1 percent pay adjustment for Federal employees.
    The Committee recognizes that international education and 
exchange programs are critical components of U.S. National 
security and foreign policy. In light of the tragic events of 
September 11, 2001, this type of engagement with the world is 
more important than ever. International educational and 
exchange programs enable the United States to augment the 
foreign language and foreign area expertise of each successive 
generation of rising leaders, prepare U.S. students to function 
effectively in a global environment through study abroad, and 
promote international understanding through professional, 
scholarly, and citizen exchanges. The Committee recommendations 
for the Educational and Cultural Exchanges Account are 
displayed, by program, in the following table:

    Some of the Committee recommendations displayed in the 
table above are described in more detail in the following 
paragraphs.
    Of the funds made available for the Council of American 
Overseas Research Centers, $33,000 is for a grant for research 
to develop a diamond fingerprinting technology that will 
facilitate the monitoring of the international trade in 
conflict diamonds.
    Seed programs.--The Committee has continued a modest 
program begun in fiscal year 2000 that provides one-time 
funding to international exchange startups. These new programs 
are expected, after their first year, to seek funding from 
outside sources. The Committee will track the survival rate of 
new starts. The Bureau of Educational and Cultural Exchanges is 
directed to provide advice and assistance to these new programs 
and to inform the Committee immediately of any change in their 
status.

                       REPRESENTATION ALLOWANCES

Appropriations, 2002....................................      $6,485,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................       9,000,000
Committee recommendation................................       6,485,000

    Representation allowances provide partial reimbursement to 
Foreign Service officers for expenditures incurred in their 
official capacities abroad in establishing and maintaining 
relations with officials of foreign governments and appropriate 
members of local communities.
    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $6,485,000. 
The recommendation is $2,515,000 below the budget request.

              PROTECTION OF FOREIGN MISSIONS AND OFFICIALS

Appropriations, 2002....................................      $9,400,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................      11,000,000
Committee recommendation................................       9,400,000

    This account reimburses local governments and communities 
for the extraordinary costs incurred in providing protection 
for international organizations, foreign missions and 
officials, and foreign dignitaries under certain circumstances.
    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $9,400,000. 
The recommendation is $1,600,000 below the budget request.
    The Committee directs that local jurisdictions that incur 
such costs submit a certified billing for such costs in 
accordance with program regulations. The Committee also 
recommends that in those circumstances where a local 
jurisdiction will realize a financial benefit from a visit from 
a foreign dignitary through increased tax revenues, that such 
circumstances should be taken into account by the Department in 
assessing the need for reimbursement under this program. The 
Committee expects the Department to treat such submissions 
diligently and provide reimbursement to local jurisdictions on 
a timely basis if claims are fully justified.

            EMBASSY SECURITY, CONSTRUCTION, AND MAINTENANCE

Appropriations, 2002....................................  $1,273,960,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................   1,305,000,000
Committee recommendation................................   1,305,000,000

    This account provides the funding that allows the 
Department to manage U.S. Government real property in over 200 
countries worth an estimated $12,500,000,000 and to maintain 
almost 14,000 residential, office, and functional properties, 
not only for the Department of State, but for all U.S. 
employees overseas.
    The Committee recommends an appropriation of 
$1,305,000,000. The recommendation is identical to the budget 
request.

      Embassy Security, Construction, and Maintenance Total...1,305,000 

    Some of the Committee recommendations displayed in the 
table above are described in more detail in the following 
paragraphs.
    Vulnerability.--The 1998 embassy bombings in Kenya and 
Tanzania significantly changed the way we approach the security 
of our facilities abroad. The June 14, 2002, attack on a church 
in Islamabad, Pakistan, which U.S. citizens were widely known 
to attend, brought into focus a new kind of threat against our 
interests abroad, specifically, threats against so called 
``soft targets''. The Committee urges the State Department to 
formulate a strategy for addressing, both in the long term and 
in the short term, threats to locales that are either 
frequented by Americans or symbolic of the United States. The 
Committee is particularly concerned about the safety of 
American schools abroad, and last year provided $6,250,000 for 
related security enhancements. The recommendation for fiscal 
year 2003 includes $30,000,000 for the Department to provide 
both temporary and long term security enhancements for 
locations that are affiliated with the U.S. by virtue of the 
activities and individuals they accommodate. The Committee 
expects to be consulted by the Department prior to the release 
of these funds.
    Buyout of uneconomic leases.--High lease costs deplete 
Department resources. The Committee supports efforts by the 
Department to selectively acquire properties in cities with 
volatile rental markets, thus generating significant out-year 
savings. The Committee recommendation provides $35,000,000 for 
opportunity purchases.
    Marine Security Guard housing.--Marine Security Guards are 
essential to the Department's ability to carry out its mission 
overseas. In fiscal year 2002, the Department completed the 
final phase of a multi-year effort, undertaken at the 
insistence of the Committee, to address the long-neglected 
capital needs of many Marine Security Guard (MSG) housing 
facilities worldwide. The Committee supports the Department's 
new policy of incorporating MSG housing costs into the initial 
cost estimates, and thus the budget requests, for overseas 
construction or rehabilitation projects. The Committee notes 
that MSG housing costs for fiscal year 2003 are embedded within 
the capital projects account and will therefore not constitute 
a separate line item in the above chart.
    The Department is directed, under the terms and conditions 
that follow, to submit for the Committee's review and approval 
within 60 days after enactment of this Act only those projects 
or subaccounts funded under this account, whether from direct 
appropriations or proceeds of sales, that deviate from the 
above chart. Any deviation shall include project-level detail 
and shall be treated as a reprogramming under section 605 of 
this Act in the case of an addition greater than $500,000, or 
as a notification in the case of a deletion, a project cost 
overrun exceeding 25 percent, or a project schedule delay 
exceeding 6 months. Notification requirements also extend to 
the ``rebaselining'' of a given project's cost estimate, 
schedule, or scope of work. By focusing the financial plan only 
on deviations, the Committee expects the Department to move 
projects toward contract obligation promptly after funds are 
appropriated. Immediate access to funds for the projects that 
are unchanged from the above chart allows the Department to 
negotiate contracts and obligate funds more efficiently over 
the entire fiscal year.

           EMERGENCIES IN THE DIPLOMATIC AND CONSULAR SERVICE

Appropriations, 2002....................................      $6,500,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................      15,000,000
Committee recommendation................................       6,500,000

    This account provides resources for the Department of State 
to meet emergency requirements while conducting foreign 
affairs. The Committee recommendation provides funds for: (1) 
travel and subsistence expenses for relocation of Americans, 
U.S. Government employees, and their families from troubled 
areas to the United States and/or safe-haven posts; (2) 
allowances granted to State Department employees and their 
dependents evacuated to the United States for the convenience 
of the Government; (3) payment of rewards for information 
concerning terrorists and war criminals; and (4) representation 
expenses for senior Administration officials.
    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $6,500,000. 
The recommendation is $8,500,000 below the budget request.

                   REPATRIATION LOANS PROGRAM ACCOUNT

Appropriations, 2002....................................      $1,219,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................       1,219,000
Committee recommendation................................       1,219,000

    This account provides emergency loans to assist destitute 
Americans abroad who have no other source of funds to return to 
the United States.
    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $1,219,000. 
The recommendation is identical to the budget request.
    Less than 20 percent of repatriation loans are ever repaid. 
The Committee strongly endorses efforts by consular services to 
limit assistance only to victims of unforeseen circumstances or 
travelers whose mental instability presents a risk to 
themselves or others.

              PAYMENT TO THE AMERICAN INSTITUTE IN TAIWAN

Appropriations, 2002....................................     $17,044,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................      18,817,000
Committee recommendation................................      17,044,000

    The Taiwan Relations Act requires that programs concerning 
Taiwan be carried out by the American Institute in Taiwan 
[AIT]. The Institute administers programs in the areas of 
economic and commercial services, cultural affairs, travel 
services, and logistics. The Department of State contracts with 
the AIT to carry out these activities.
    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $17,044,000. 
The recommendation is $1,773,000 below the budget request.

     PAYMENT TO THE FOREIGN SERVICE RETIREMENT AND DISABILITY FUND

Appropriations, 2002....................................    $135,629,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................     138,200,000
Committee recommendation................................     138,200,000

    This appropriation is authorized by the Foreign Service Act 
of 1980 which provides for an appropriation to the fund in 30 
equal annual installments of the amount required for the 
unfunded liability created by new benefits, new groups of 
beneficiaries, or increased salaries on which benefits are 
computed.
    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $138,200,000. 
The recommendation is identical to the budget request.

              International Organizations and Conferences


              CONTRIBUTIONS TO INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS

Appropriations, 2002....................................    $850,000,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................     891,378,000
Committee recommendation................................     850,000,000

    This account funds payment of the obligations of U.S. 
membership in international organizations as authorized by 
treaties or specific acts of Congress.
    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $850,000,000. 
The recommendation is $41,378,000 below the budget request.

    The Committee recommendation includes several adjustments 
to this account based on policy decisions. The Committee also 
is aware that exchange rate margins are moving in a direction 
that is disadvantageous to the U.S. dollar. The Committee 
recommendation includes $14,583,000 to provide for any 
potential exchange rate losses. Should use of the funds be 
necessary, the Committee expects to be notified on an agency by 
agency basis.
    Synchronization.--The Committee notes that in the early 
1980's, the Office of Management and Budget devised a plan to 
pay U.S. dues to international organizations in the last 
quarter of the year in which they were due. This practice 
allowed the United States to pay its annual dues to the United 
Nations (U.N.), its affiliate agencies, and other international 
organizations in each subsequent fiscal year's budget, 
resulting in significantly reduced outlays for one fiscal year. 
What was intended as a budget gimmick to realize a one-time 
savings, however, has become standard practice. The subsequent 
non-synchronization of budgets has resulted in U.S. dues 
frequently being paid more than a year late, which has further 
aggravated U.S. relations with the international community. The 
United States has demanded that U.N. adopt sound, fiscally 
responsible budgetary practices. However, the Untied State's 
own late payment of its U.N. dues forces the United Nations to 
engage in unsound budgeting practices.
    The Committee directs the Secretary of State to develop a 
plan, to be presented to and approved by the Committees on 
Appropriations, for the graduated synchronization of the United 
States' and the United Nations' budget cycles. The Committee 
further directs that the Secretary of State's plan take a 
graduated approach to synchronization, allowing the Department 
to designate budget authority and provide outlays necessary to 
synchronize the U.S. payment over a maximum of 5 years. The 
Committee expects this plan to include projected budget 
requests for the Contributions to International Organizations 
account for each of the fiscal years in which synchronization 
shall take place.

      Subtotal................................................   666,772

    The Committee expects to be consulted prior to any 
deviation from the above plan for fiscal year 2003.
    Democratic Republic of Congo.--The Committee recommendation 
provides the full authorized amount for the United Nations 
Organization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo 
(MONUC). Prior to the release of these funds, the Department of 
State must certify to the Committees on Appropriations that the 
following conditions have been met. First, firm benchmarks for 
what constitutes a successful mission must be determined, 
articulated, and followed. Second, the security of DROC's 
neighbors must be factored in to all of MONUC's strategic and 
contingency planning, and must be heavily considered in the 
negotiation of a final political settlement. Third, the United 
Nations must construct an arrangement for the withdrawal of 
foreign forces from the DROC that, to the greatest degree 
possible, does not destabilize DROC's neighbors. Fourth, 
contingency plans must be developed and implemented for the 
safe withdrawal of peacekeepers in the event of a resumption of 
hostilities.
    Sierra Leone.--The Committee is encouraged by the May, 2002 
national elections in Sierra Leone, which were conducted in a 
credible and peaceful manner. The elections underscored that 
the people of Sierra Leone do not wish the Revolutionary United 
Front, a rebel group notorious for its use of forced 
amputations to terrorize local populations, to have a role in 
the future governance of their country. As previously 
inaccessible areas of Sierra Leone become accessible due to the 
completion of disarmament, demobilization, and reintegration 
(DDR), more evidence of atrocities committed during the 
conflict will come to light. The Committee strongly supports 
the work of the Special Court for Sierra Leone, the purpose of 
which is to prosecute those who bear the greatest 
responsibility for serious violations of international 
humanitarian law, crimes against humanity, and some Sierra 
Leonean criminal laws, perpetrated during the course of the 
conflict in Sierra Leone since 1996. The Committee notes that 
the Special Court will face the momentous challenge of 
prosecuting a disproportionately high number of crimes 
involving sexual violence and crimes against children. The 
Committee directs the Department of State to consider ways it 
can support, and encourage international and private 
organizations to undertake, new efforts to prevent, respond to, 
and document sexual violence in African countries, including 
Sierra Leone, Guinea, Liberia, Ivory Coast, and the Democratic 
Republic of Congo.
    Three important goals remain for the U.N. Peacekeeping 
Mission to Sierra Leone (UNAMSIL): the extension of state 
authority, the reintegration of ex-combatants, and full 
restoration of the government's control over diamond mining. It 
is imperative that the international community and the UN 
safeguard the progress made in Sierra Leone by remaining 
engaged until all of the objectives are met. The recommendation 
therefore provides the full authorized amount for UNAMSIL. The 
Committee supports the adjustments to the current strength, 
composition, and deployment of UNAMSIL troops based on recent 
changes and anticipated further changes in the security 
situation in Sierra Leone.
    East Timor.--The Committee is encouraged by reports of 
improved relations between the newly-independent East Timor and 
Indonesia. Despite progress towards a peaceful, constructive 
relationship between the two nations, East Timor is not yet 
ready to stand entirely on its own. The fledgling nation is 
still in the beginning stages of establishing a criminal 
justice system, basic social services, and professional police 
and defense forces. The Committee therefore supports the 
continued presence of the U.N. Transitional Administration in 
East Timor (UNTAET) at the levels deemed prudent by the UN 
Secretary General.
    Twenty-Five Percent Cap.--Funding is provided to meet fully 
U.S. assessments to UN peacekeeping operations at a level that 
is consistent with the current legislative cap of 25 percent 
imposed by section 404 of the Foreign Relations Authorization 
Act, fiscal years 1994 and 1995. When legislation is enacted to 
lift or modify this restriction, the Committee will consider 
through the regular reprogramming process a request by the 
Department to reallocate funding. This reprogramming would 
permit the United States to meet its full assessment 
obligations.

Budget estimate, 2003...................................       9,444,000
Committee recommendation................................      10,250,000

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $10,250,000. 
The recommendation is $806,000 above the budget request.
    The Asia Foundation plays a complimentary role in advancing 
U.S. foreign policy interests in Asia and the Pacific through 
grants, services, and exchange programs. The Committee supports 
the Foundation's efforts to reestablish its program and 
presence in Afghanistan, which was in existence from 1954 until 
the Soviet invasion in 1979. The Committee encourages the 
Foundation to use its expertise in developing programs to 
encourage women's political participation in the Asia-Pacific 
region in Afghanistan.
    Within the funds provided, $1,000,000 is to support the 
Asia Foundation's work in Nepal aimed at strengthening the 
performance of district courts and building dispute resolution 
mechanisms in the local communities. A comprehensive research 
study carried out last year confirmed that there are severe 
weaknesses in the Nepalese court system. The additional funding 
provided will allow the Asia Foundation to expand its current 
training to include judges, prosecutors, and court personnel 
throughout Nepal. Also, additional funding will allow the Asia 
Foundation to provide the technical support, training, 
awareness programs, and assistance in building local capacity 
necessary to building effective dispute resolution mechanisms 
at the local level.

                 Eisenhower Exchange Fellowship Program

Appropriations, 2002....................................        $500,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................         500,000
Committee recommendation................................         500,000

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $500,000 for 
interest and earnings in the Eisenhower Exchange Fellowship 
Program Trust Fund, authorized by the Eisenhower Exchange 
Fellowship Act of 1990 (Public Law 101-454). The recommendation 
is equal to the budget request.
    The Eisenhower Exchange Fellowship Act of 1990 authorized a 
permanent endowment for the Eisenhower Exchange Fellowship 
Program. The act established the Eisenhower Exchange Fellowship 
Program Trust Fund in the U.S. Treasury for these purposes. A 
total of $7,500,000 has been provided to establish a permanent 
endowment for the program, from which interest and earnings in 
the fund are appropriated to Eisenhower Exchange Fellowships, 
Inc.

                    Israeli-Arab Scholarship Program

Budget estimate, 2003...................................         375,000
Committee recommendation................................         375,000

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of interest and 
earnings for the Israeli-Arab Scholarship Endowment Fund 
estimated to be $375,000. The recommendation is equal to the 
budget request.
    A permanent endowment of $4,978,500 was established in 
fiscal year 1992 with funds made available under section 556(b) 
of the Foreign Operations, Export Financing, and Related 
Programs Appropriations Act, 1990, as amended. The income from 
the endowment is to be used for a program of scholarships for 
Israeli-Arabs to attend institutions of higher education in the 
United States.

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $18,000,000. 
The recommendation is $3,620,000 above the request.
    Of the funding provided, the Committee recommends 
$2,500,000 for renovation of existing East West Center 
facilities which are more than 40 years old. The funding 
provided will be used to upgrade the facilities to make them 
compliant with current safety standards and to improve 
telecommunications services.

                    National Endowment For Democracy

Appropriations, 2002....................................     $33,500,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................      36,000,000
Committee recommendation................................      46,500,000

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $46,500,000. 
The recommendation is $10,500,000 above the budget request.
    The National Endowment for Democracy (NED) is a private 
non-profit organization created in 1983 to strengthen 
democratic institutions around the world. NED's mission is to 
support peaceful and stable transitions to more open political 
and economic systems characterized by effective governance and 
legal systems, engaged and responsible civil societies, and 
open markets. Although NED was first created to help the United 
States win the cold war, its mission of promoting democracy is 
still relevant today particularly in the new war against 
terrorism.
    This Committee recommendation responds to the immediate 
threat of terrorism by taking steps to provide for the security 
of the U.S. homeland. However, the threat of terrorism also 
requires a long term response which addresses the root causes 
of terrorism. This can be accomplished by helping to establish 
democracies throughout the Middle East, Africa, South and 
Central Asia, and other regions where terrorism has flourished 
over the last decade. Building democracies helps sever the link 
between terror and tyranny which, unfortunately, have become 
commonplace in these regions.
    NED already has established a network of Muslim 
organizations and professionals in these regions that work to 
promote democracy from within the Islamic tradition. The 
Committee believes that NED's existing networks in these 
regions can be used to further the larger objectives of the war 
against terror. The recommendation therefore includes funding 
above the requested level for NED to expand its work with 
political leaders, legislators, and political parties in Muslim 
countries, and to capitalize on new opportunities to expand 
outreach and develop and promote contacts.
    The Committee recommendation includes $7,000,000 above 
current funding levels for programs that support the 
development of effective ties with modernist Muslim groups, 
programs that are developing pro-democracy networks, 
independent journalists, and women's business organizations.
    The Muslim world consists of more than 1 billion people and 
stretches some 10,000 miles from Morocco to Indonesia. Only by 
establishing democracies in those countries of the Middle East, 
Africa, South and Central Asia, and other regions that support 
terrorists can we permanently stop terrorism. It is in these 
Muslim countries or regions that terrorist recruits are found 
among the disadvantaged. Muslim countries face four challenges. 
The first is to end repression, permit freedom of expression, 
and introduce genuine political parties. The second is to 
modernize their economy, with the goal of reducing poverty and 
inequality so that young people can have hope and opportunity. 
The third is to control corruption and establish a genuine rule 
of law. And the fourth is to end the political abuse of 
religion and reconcile Islam with modern concepts of 
citizenship and individual rights. The Committee therefore 
recommends increases for NED programs in Muslim-populated

    The Committee expects that the funding for these increased 
activities be distributed through NED's four core institutes in 
the same manner as NED's core budget.
    Africa.--The Committee recognizes that funding constraints 
have limited the success of NED in the Democratic Republic of 
Congo, Sierra Leone, Sudan, and Nigeria. Therefore, $1,000,000 
above current funding levels is provided for NED to increase 
its support for independent women's cultural and human rights 
organizations in these countries.
    Asia.--Of the funding provided for Asia, the Committee 
recommendation includes $1,500,000 above the request for 
enhanced programs in The Peoples Republic of China including 
Tibet, Burma, and North Korea.
    Middle East.--Of the funding provided for NED programs in 
the Middle East, the Committee recommendation includes an 
increase of $1,000,000 above current funding levels to expand a 
women's rights and democracy training program for Lebanon's 
Shiite female educators, students, and mothers.
    Afghanistan.--The Committee recommends $2,000,000 for NED 
to establish a program for women's rights in Afghanistan.

                             RELATED AGENCY


                    Broadcasting Board of Governors


                 INTERNATIONAL BROADCASTING OPERATIONS

Appropriations, 2002....................................    $437,434,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................     467,898,000
Committee recommendation................................     441,456,000

    This account funds the operating and engineering costs of 
Voice of America [VOA], Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty [RFE/
RL], Radio Free Asia [RFA], Worldnet Television, and the 
Broadcasting Board of Governors [BBG].
    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $441,456,000. 
The recommendation is $26,442,000 below the budget request.
    The Committee recommendation includes the fiscal year 2002 
funding level, and a 4.1 percent pay raise for Federal 
employees. Of the funds provided, no more than $17,757,000 
shall be used for Agency Direction.
    The Committee directs the Broadcasting Board of Governors 
to submit a spending plan for the entire amount of its fiscal 
year 2003 appropriation within 60 days of the date of enactment 
of this Act through the normal reprogramming process.
    Shifting requirements.--The Committee commends Radio Free 
Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL) for developing programming in 
Avar, Chechen, and Circassian and for expanding broadcasting to 
the Northern Causasus. The Committee recognizes the continuing 
importance of reaching the isolated minorities of the Northern 
Caucasus in their native languages. The Chechen crisis is 
ongoing and there is still a great need in this region for 
objective, uncensored information. Within the funding provided 
for RFE/RL, not less than $2,400,000 shall be for the North 
Caucasus Unit.
    The Committee recommendation includes $1,157,000 for Radio 
Free Asia to continue daily Uyghur broadcasts. Radio Free 
Asia's Uyghur broadcasts are proving successful in northwest 
China in spite of top level officials efforts to erect ``a 
steel wall'' against ``hostile radio stations from abroad.''
    Africa Broadcasting.--Africa continues to dwarf the rest of 
the world in how the region has been affected by AIDS. Radio 
broadcasting is an underutilized tool in the fight against the 
African AIDS epidemic. Its accessibility to even the most 
impoverished communities make it an ideal way to transmit 
information about the disease. Radio broadcasts could be a 
major component of sustained prevention efforts undertaken by 
the governments of many African countries, humanitarian 
organizations, and U.S. assistance programs. The recommendation 
includes $11,000,000 for Voice of America's Africa Division for 
broadcasting to Africa. The Committee directs VOA to 
incorporate AIDS education into its regular programming. VOA is 
directed to report to the Committee on its progress no later 
than 90 days after enactment of this Act.
    Of the funds made available for Voice of America, 
$8,579,000 is for the Middle East Radio Network.
    Security of RFE/RL headquarters.--The Committee is aware 
that RFE/RL and the government of the Czech Republic have 
jointly developed a preliminary plan to relocate RFE/RL 
headquarters from St. Wenceslas Square in Prague, the Czech 
Republic, to a new and safer location. The Committee expects to 
be consulted on all decisions concerning capital construction, 
particularly those that are security-driven. RFE/RL is directed 
to report to the Committee on all aspects of the relocation 
currently being considered. The Committee expects this report 
to consider whether it would be desirable, from both a security 
and an economic perspective, to move RFE/RL headquarters to a 
location outside of the Czech Republic.
    Security of worldwide broadcasting facilities.--In the 
post-September 11 environment, the broadcasting services no 
longer have the luxury of ignoring the security of their 
personnel and facilities. The Broadcasting Board of Governors 
is therefore directed to develop, in consultation with the 
Department of State and other relevant U.S. agencies, a 5-year 
capital worldwide security plan. The plan shall be transmitted 
to the Committees on Appropriations no later than March 15, 
2003.
    Within the funding made available for Radio Free Asia, no 
less than $2,898,000 is for the Korea Service.

    This account funds necessary maintenance, improvements, 
replacements, and repairs of broadcasting sites; satellite and 
terrestrial program feeds; and engineering support activities, 
broadcast facility leases, and land rentals.
    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $13,740,000. 
The recommendation is identical to the budget request.

      General Provisions--Department of State and Related Agencies

    The Committee recommends the following general provisions:
    Section 401 permits funds appropriated in this act for the 
Department of State to be available for allowances and 
differentials, services, and hire of passenger transportation.
    Section 402 permits up to 5 percent of any appropriation 
made available in the bill for the Department of State and the 
U.S. Information Agency to be transferred between their 
respective appropriations. The language also provides that no 
appropriation shall be decreased by more than 5 percent or 
increased by more than 10 percent by any such transfer. In 
addition, the language provides that any transfer pursuant to 
this subsection shall be treated as a reprogramming of funds 
under section 605 of the accompanying bill and shall not be 
available for obligation or expenditure except in compliance 
with the procedures set forth in that section.
    Section 403 prohibits the use of Department of State funds 
to support the Palestinian Broadcasting Corp.
    Section 404 requires that a consulate or diplomatic 
facility in Jerusalem be under the supervision of the U.S. 
Ambassador to Israel.
    Section 405 requires government publications to list 
Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
    Section 406 allows Israel to be recorded as the place of 
birth on registrations of birth, certifications of nationality, 
and passport applications for U.S. citizens born in Jerusalem.

                       TITLE V--RELATED AGENCIES

    The Maritime Administration [MarAd] in the Department of 
Transportation is responsible for administering several 
programs for the maritime industry relating to U.S. foreign and 
domestic commerce and for national defense purposes.
    The Committee recommends a total appropriation of 
$225,166,000, which is $18,046,000 above the budget request. 
The Committee recommendation includes the fiscal year 2002 
funding level and a 4.1 percent pay adjustment for Federal 
employees. The Committee's recommendations for specific 
accounts are described below.

                       MARITIME SECURITY PROGRAM

Appropriations, 2002....................................     $98,700,000

The recommendation is identical to the budget request.
    The Maritime Security program maintains a U.S.-flag 
merchant fleet crewed by U.S. citizens who serve both the 
commercial and national security needs of the United States. 
The Committee's recommendation fully funds the 47 ships 
authorized to participate in this program.

                        OPERATIONS AND TRAINING

Appropriations, 2002....................................     $89,054,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................      93,133,000
Committee recommendation................................      89,488,000

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $89,488,000. 
The recommendation is $3,645,000 below the budget request.
    This account funds operations of the Maritime 
Administration [MarAd], the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy, and 
provides grants to State maritime academies.
    The recommendation includes $49,713,000 for the U.S. 
Merchant Marine Academy and $7,563,000 for the State maritime 
schools. Within the amounts provided for the U.S. Merchant 
Marine Academy, $13,000,000 is included to reduce the 
maintenance and repair backlog at the Academy, and to begin to 
make needed capital improvements. Within the amounts for State 
maritime schools, $1,200,000 is for student incentive payments, 
$1,200,000 is for direct scholarship payments, and $5,163,000 
is for schoolship maintanence and repair. The Committee notes 
that MarAd anticipates using $2,000,000 in Ready Reserve funds 
to support the schoolship maintenance and repair program.

                    MARITIME GUARANTEED LOAN PROGRAM

Appropriations, 2002....................................     $36,978,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................       4,126,000
Committee recommendation................................      36,978,000

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $36,978,000. 
The recommendation includes $4,126,000 for administrative 
expenses. The recommendation is $32,852,000 above the budget 
request.
    The Maritime Guaranteed Loan Program (title XI) provides 
subsidies for guaranteed loans for purchasers of vessels built 
in U.S. shipyards and includes the guarantee for facilities or 
equipment pertaining to marine operations related to any of 
those vessels.
    The Committee is concerned that the Administration did not 
request a title XI subsidy for fiscal year 2002. Projects 
currently under consideration, and many future maritime 
projects would be in jeopardy under this proposal. The 
recommended subsidy amount, when combined with $10,000,000 in 
anticipated carryover balances, should provide sufficient 
funding to cover expected out-year requirements.

                         SHIP DISPOSAL PROGRAM

Appropriations, 2002....................................................
Budget estimate, 2003...................................     $11,161,000

    The Committee does not recommend an appropriation for the 
Ship Disposal Program. The recommendation is $11,161,000 below 
the budget request.

      Commission for the Preservation of America's Heritage Abroad


                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

Appropriations, 2002....................................        $489,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................         499,000
Committee recommendation................................         499,000

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $499,000. This 
amount is identical to the budget request and includes a 4.1 
pay adjustment. The recommendation will allow the Commission to 
fund its administrative expenses through appropriated funds 
while relying on privately donated funds for the actual 
purchase and restoration of property.
    The purpose of the Commission is to encourage the 
preservation of cemeteries, monuments, and historic buildings 
associated with the foreign heritage of the American people.
    Revolutionary War heroes.--The Committee supports the 
Commission's preliminary survey (phase I) of sites abroad 
associated with the lives and deeds of foreign-born heroes of 
the American Revolution. The Commission has identified at least 
31 Revolutionary period heroes that are, or should be, 
commemorated abroad that qualify for site assessment (phase 
II). Phase II will involve: (1) collection of first hand 
information at foreign commemorative sites, (2) formulation of 
recommendations regarding necessary repairs to, or expansion 
of, existing monuments, rewriting of commemorative 
inscriptions, and placement of new commemorative markers or 
monuments, and (3) dissemination of information on 
commemorative sites to American citizens and foreign 
governments and organizations. The Committee recommendation 
includes $160,000 to conduct phase II. The Committee looks 
forward to receiving a report on the completion of phase II at 
the earliest convenience of the Commission.

science-based 1966 Stratton Commission passed during the 106th 
Congress. To date $7,500,000 has been appropriated for the 
Commission.

                   Federal Communications Commission


                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

Appropriations, 2002....................................    $245,071,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................     268,327,000
Committee recommendation................................     246,971,000

    The Committee recommends a total of $246,971,000 for the 
salaries and expenses of the Federal Communications Commission 
[FCC], of which the entire amount is to be derived from 
collection of existing fees. The recommendation is $21,356,000 
below the budget request. The Committee recommendation includes 
the fiscal year 2002 funding level and a 4.1 percent pay 
adjustment to the degree resources are available. The Committee 
supports an increase for the FCC's Information Technology 
requirements and initiatives. This funding will provide for 
continued support and critical improvements for existing 
systems, and will ensure compliance with government-wide 
standards pertaining to system security, accessibility and 
financial management. The funding will impact on all five key 
FCC activities, which includes licensing, competition, 
enforcement, consumer information, and spectrum management.
    The FCC is an independent agency charged with regulating 
interstate and foreign communications, including radio, 
television, wire, wireless, cable, and satellite. The FCC's 
primary mission is to promote competition, innovation, and 
deregulation in the communications industry.
    Broadcast television standards.--The Committee is concerned 
about the declining standards of broadcast television and the 
impact this decline is having on America's children. An 
analysis of all prime-time programming has found that overall 
sexual content, foul language and violence have tripled over 
the past decade. In December 1999, the FCC issued a notice of 
inquiry regarding the public interest obligations of 
broadcasters during and after the transition to digital 
transmission. The Committee directs the FCC to continue to 
report to Congress on the issues associated with resurrecting a 
broadcast industry code of conduct for content of programming 
that, if adhered to by the broadcast industry, would protect 
against the further erosion of broadcasting standards.
    The Committee is aware that excess section 9 regulatory 
fees exist. The Committee recommends that the FCC have access 
to any of these fees in fiscal year 2003 to be used for the 4.1 
percent pay adjustment for Federal employees, without further 
action.

                      Federal Maritime Commission


                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

Appropriations, 2002....................................     $16,458,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................      17,440,000
Committee recommendation................................      16,484,000

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $16,484,000. 
The recommendation is $956,000 below the budget request. The 
Committee recommendation includes the fiscal year 2002 funding 
level and a 4.1 percent pay adjustment to the degree resources 
are available.
    The Federal Maritime Commission is an independent 
regulatory agency charged with administering several laws 
relating to the waterborne domestic and foreign offshore 
commerce of the United States.

                        Federal Trade Commission


                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

Appropriations, 2002....................................    $155,982,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................     171,599,000
Committee recommendation................................     159,148,000

    The Federal Trade Commission [FTC] administers a variety of 
Federal antitrust and consumer protection laws. Activities in 
the antitrust area include detection and elimination of illegal 
collusion, anticompetitive mergers, unlawful single-firm 
conduct, and injurious vertical agreements. The FTC regulates 
advertising practices, service industry practices, marketing 
practices, and credit practices as it addresses fraud and other 
consumer concerns.
    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $159,148,000. 
The recommendation is $12,451,000 below the budget request. The 
Committee recommendation includes the fiscal year 2002 funding 
level and a 4.1 percent pay adjustment. The Committee 
recommendation for fiscal year 2003 provides funding for a 
total of 1,074 full time equivalents. The recommendation 
provides requested increases to pay non-personnel services, and 
space costs, and does not provide for increased costs of the 
Consumer Response Center. The recommended program level will be 
partially offset by fees assessed on Hart-Scott-Rodino Act 
premerger notification filings as authorized by section 605 of 
Public Law 101-162.
    Child Protection.--The FTC released a report 2 years ago 
that was very critical of the entertainment industry and their 
persistent and calculated marketing of violent games, movies, 
and music to children. In response to this report the 
entertainment industry has promised to place tougher 
regulations on itself and voluntarily comply with the report's 
recommendations. The Committee believes that the FTC should 
continue and expand its efforts in this area and directs the 
Commission to continue to engage in consumer research and 
workshops, underage shopper-retail compliance surveys, and 
marketing data collection.
    Competition.--The FTC's Maintaining Competition Mission is 
aimed at fostering and preserving our competitive market. The 
goal of the competition mission is to prevent anticompetitive 
business practices in the marketplace. The mission works to 
accomplish this goal by identifying and stopping 
anticompetitive mergers, and by preventing consumer injury 
through education. Mergers that are anticompetitive can drive 
up consumer prices by millions of dollars every year and can 
significantly diminish output, product quality, innovation, and 
consumer choice. To identify anticompetitive mergers, the FTC 
relies primarily on the premerger notification required by the 
Hart-Scott-Rodino Act. To distinguish between mergers that 
threaten free markets and those likely to promote them, the FTC 
uses sophisticated economic analysis and thorough factual 
investigation.
    Consumer Protection.--The FTC is charged with eliminating 
unfair or deceptive acts or practices affecting commerce. The 
goal of the consumer protection mission is to prevent fraud, 
deception, and unfair business practices in the marketplace. 
The mission works to accomplish this goal by identifying fraud, 
deception and unfair practices that cause the greatest consumer 
injury, by stopping these actions through law enforcement, and 
by preventing consumer injury through education. Staff in the 
FTC's eight regions support the consumer protection mission by 
bringing a wide variety of consumer protection cases in various 
programs and acting as contacts for State Attorneys General and 
other State and local consumer protection officials.
    Internet.--The FTC is charged with monitoring compliance 
with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act. The 
Committee's recommendation ensures the agency is adequately 
prepared to meet the challenges of increased fraud on the 
Internet and the agency's recognition that Internet fraud is an 
international phenomenon since the Internet has no borders.
    Fleet Card Programs.--The Committee urges the Federal Trade 
Commission to conduct a study to determine if uncompetitive or 
unfair practices or practices which tend to restrain trade are 
used by companies which provide commercial trucking fleet card 
programs, and the effects of these practices on the truck stop 
industry. The Committee expects a report on this study within 
180 days of enactment of this Act.
    Telephone Consumer Fraud and Abuse Prevention.--The 
Committee does not recommend use of fees for the Telephone 
Consumer Fraud initiative. To date, the FTC has not approved 
use of fees for this program. The Committee encourages the FTC 
to submit a spend plan on this initiative after such approval 
has been granted.

                       ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS

    The Committee recommendation continues the administrative 
provisions contained in the fiscal year 1998 appropriations act 
(Public Law 105-119) regarding operation of this program to 
provide basic legal services to poor individuals and the

    The manner in which LSC grantees are audited through 
contracts with certified public accountants for financial and 
compliance audits are continued along with the provisions on 
recompetition and debarment.

                        Marine Mammal Commission


                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

Appropriations, 2002....................................      $1,957,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................       1,856,000
Committee recommendation................................       2,050,000

    The recommendation provides $2,050,000 for the Marine 
Mammal Commission in fiscal year 2003. The recommendation is 
$53,000 above the budget request and includes a 4.1 percent pay 
adjustment.
    The Committee has long been aware that noise pollution in 
the world's oceans has a deleterious effect on the health and 
safety of marine mammals. The Committee recommendation includes 
$4,000,000 to be transferred from the Small Business 
Administration to the Marine Mammal Commission to conduct 
original research or to fund grants designed to determine the 
actual near-, medium-, and long-term effects of low, medium, 
and high frequency sounds on the health and safety of marine 
mammals, focusing on the most endangered species first. The 
amount provided is also intended to fund an international 
conference, or series of conferences, to share findings, survey 
acoustic ``threats'' to marine mammals, and develop means of 
reducing those threats while maintaining the oceans as the 
global highway of international commerce.

          National Veterans' Business Development Corporation

Appropriations, 2002....................................      $4,000,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................       2,000,000
Committee recommendation................................       2,000,000

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $2,000,000. 
The recommendation is identical to the budget request. The 
Committee recommendation includes funds for a 4.1 pay 
adjustment to the degree resources are available. The National 
Veterans' Business Development Corporation was authorized by 
Public Law 106-50.

                   Securities and Exchange Commission


                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

Appropriations, 2002....................................    $458,605,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................     466,900,000
Committee recommendation................................     750,504,000

    The strength of the American economy is dependent upon 
investors' confidence in the financial disclosures and 
statements released by publicly traded companies. The public 
must receive full and transparent information regarding the 
financial status of publicly traded companies so that limited 
dollars are invested efficiently, for the good of the private 
investor, as well as the company. Unfortunately, the recent 
accounting scandals related to Enron and Worldcom have severely 
shaken the public's faith in this country's financial markets. 
The Securities and Exchange Commission [SEC], an independent 
agency, was created to administer many of the Nation's laws 
regulating the areas of securities and finance, and to act on 
behalf of the public to prevent fraud and misrepresentation in 
securities transactions. For whatever reasons, it appears that 
the SEC has been less than successful at fulfilling parts of 
its mission.
    The Committee recommendation provides total budget 
(obligational) authority of $750,504,000. The recommended 
amount of budget authority is $283,604,000 above the initial 
budget request and is intended to provide pay parity for the 
SEC's existing staff, add additional staff, and provide the 
funds necessary to improve the agency's monitoring systems. The 
Committee expects the SEC to provide quarterly reports to the 
Committee on the status of the implementation of these funds 
and the measures it is taking to restore the public's 
confidence in the financial markets.
    The Commission is required, pursuant to the ``Investor and 
Capital Markets Fee Relief Act'', to make annual adjustments to 
the rates for fees paid under Section 6(b) of the Securities 
Act of 1933 and Sections 13(e), 14(g), and 31 of the Securities 
Exchange Act of 1934. Effective October 1, 2002, or 5 days 
after the date on which the Commission receives its fiscal 2003 
regular appropriation, whichever date comes later, the Section 
6(b) fee rate applicable to the registration of securities, the 
Section 13(e) fee rate applicable to the repurchase of 
securities, and the Section 14(g) fee rates applicable to proxy 
solicitations and statements in corporate control transactions 
will be reduced to $80.90 per million from the current rate of 
$92.00 per million. In addition, effective October 1, 2002, or 
30 days after the date on which the Commission receives its 
fiscal 2003 regular appropriation, whichever date comes later, 
the Section 31 fee rate applicable to securities transactions 
on the exchanges and Nasdaq will be reduced to $25.20 per 
million from the current rate of $30.10 per million. These fees 
are available to offset all funds recommended by the Committee 
for the SEC.
    The Committee recommendation includes $76,000,000 to permit 
the Commission to continue implementation of the pay parity 
program authorized in the ``Investor and Capital Markets Fee 
Relief Act'', which was enacted in January 2002. In March, the 
Committee approved the reprogramming of $24,800,000 in 
available balances to permit the Commission to implement this 
program to bring the salaries for SEC employees in line with 
those of other Federal financial regulatory agencies. The 
Committee believes that the Commission's ability to retain and 
adequately support staff up to its authorized staffing level is 
critical to the success of its role in restoring confidence in 
U.S. financial markets.
    The Committee recommends that the Commission continue to 
emphasize the investigation and prosecution of financial fraud 
and reporting cases. In the first quarter of calendar year 2002 
the SEC enforcement staff opened 64 cases investigating 
financial fraud and reporting, compared to 31 cases opened in 
the same period last year. The Committee also commends the SEC 
for its recent initiatives to protect investors through 
strengthened corporate disclosure, accounting, and reporting 
requirements.
    The recommendation provides $6,000,000 to cover the costs 
of additional immediate security measures now required at the 
Commission's new headquarters building as a result of the 
September 11 attack and continuing threats to Federal 
facilities. The Committee recommends bill language, similar to 
that included in previous appropriations acts, which: (1) 
allows for the rental of space; (2) makes up to $3,000 
available for official reception and representation expenses; 
(3) makes up to $10,000 available for a permanent secretariat 
for the International Organization of Securities Commissions; 
and (4) makes up to $100,000 available for governmental and 
regulatory officials.
    Exercise of options.--The Committee is concerned that 
corporate insiders are enriching themselves at the expense of 
the corporations for which they work and the stockholders by 
exercising stock options immediately prior to companies' 
financial collapse. In fact, exercising stock options may 
actually contribute to the bankruptcy of teetering 
corporations. Therefore, the SEC is directed to provide the 
Committees on Appropriations with a report listing every 
corporate officer or director whose exercise of options under 
section 12 of the Securities and Exchange Act exceeds $100,000 
during each 30 day reporting period. The report shall be 
delivered monthly beginning 30 days after date of enactment of 
this Act.

                     Small Business Administration

Appropriations, 2002....................................    $888,514,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................     783,048,000
Committee recommendation................................     788,537,000

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $788,537,000. 
The recommendation is $5,489,000 above the budget request. The 
Committee recommendation includes a 4.1 percent pay increase 
for Federal employees. The total funding is distributed among 
the five SBA appropriation accounts as described below.

                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

Appropriations, 2002....................................    $308,476,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................     352,968,000
Committee recommendation................................     364,357,000

    The Committee recommends a direct appropriation of 
$364,357,000 for the salaries and expenses of the Small 
Business Administration. The recommendation is $11,389,000 
above the budget request. The Committee does not recommend 
funding for gainsharing, workforce restructuring, program 
evaluations, and an E-Government initiative.
    The Committee recommendation includes requested language 
authorizing $3,500 for official reception and representation 
expenses and language authorizing SBA to charge fees to cover 
the cost of publications and certain loan servicing activities.

                NON-CREDIT BUSINESS ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS

    For SBA's non-credit business assistance programs, the 
Committee recommends an appropriation of $149,775,000. The 
Committee recommends the following amounts for these programs:

Small Business Development Centers......................     $88,000,000
USEAC Program...........................................       3,100,000
Drug-free Workplace Grants..............................       3,000,000
Regulatory Fairness Boards..............................         500,000
SCORE...................................................       5,000,000
BICs....................................................         475,000
Women's Business Centers................................      12,000,000
Business LINC...........................................       2,000,000
Women's Council.........................................         750,000
7(j) Technical Assistance...............................       3,600,000
Native American Economic Development Initiative.........       1,000,000
Advocacy Research/Database..............................       1,100,000
Microloan Technical Assistance..........................      17,500,000
Veteran's Business Development Assistance...............         750,000
PRO-Net.................................................         500,000
SBIR Technical Assistance...............................         500,000
Federal and State Technology Partnership Program........       3,000,000
HubZone Progam..........................................       2,000,000
PRIME Technical Assistance..............................       5,000,000

    The Committee believes the Small Business Development 
Centers (SBDCs) provide useful services to small businesses 
nationwide. Federal funding of the SBDC program constitutes the 
seed funding for the program, which is leveraged one or two 
times by State, local, and private funds.
    The Committee recommendation provides funding of 
$17,500,000 for the Microloan Technical Assistance Program and 
$5,000,000 for the PRIME technical assistance program. The 
Committee believes the PRIME program has great promise for 
providing assistance to the entrepreneurs who have no access to 
capital and has a training component for assisting these small 
businesses which is missing in some of the other SBA assistance 
programs.
    The Committee recommendation includes $3,000,000 for Drug-
Free Workplace Grants. The Committee recommends $500,000 for 
Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) technical assistance 
and $3,000,000 for the Federal and State Technology Partnership 
Program (FAST). The FAST program encourages organizations in 
States to assist in the development of small high-technology 
businesses. The Committee believes that increasing the overall 
participation in the SBIR program by high-technology small 
businesses will ultimately lead to an overall increase in the 
quality of SBIR proposals and completed projects.

                      OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL

Appropriations, 2002....................................     $11,464,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................      14,500,000
Committee recommendation................................      11,600,000

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $11,600,000 
for the Office of Inspector General of the Small Business 
Administration. The recommendation is $2,900,000 below the 
budget request. The Committee expects the office to report on 
its progress in reviewing and auditing the agency's financial 
management systems. The bill contains language making $500,000 
available to the Inspector General's office from funds made 
available to the disaster loan program for its activities.

                     BUSINESS LOANS PROGRAM ACCOUNT

Appropriations, 2002....................................    $283,860,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................     218,086,000
Committee recommendation................................     218,086,000

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $218,086,000 
for the business loans program account. The recommendation is 
identical to the budget request. Of the amount provided, 
$129,000,000 is for administrative expenses related to this 
account. The administrative expenses may be transferred to and 
merged with SBA salaries and expenses to cover the common 
overhead expenses associated with the business loan programs.
    The Committee recommendation includes an appropriation of 
$85,360,000 to support a $4,850,000,000 7(a) loan program. This 
assumes a subsidy rate of 1.76 percent. The small business 
community is dependent on the SBA 7(a) program to obtain long-
term financing at a competitive interest rate. Each year, 
40,000 or more small business concerns, who cannot obtain 
comparable credit elsewhere, turn to the 7(a) program for 
critical financing. Furthermore, the Committee believes the SBA 
should achieve a goal of a zero subsidy rate for the 7(a) loan 
program. However, the same result can be achieved by a 
comprehensive review of subsidy cost estimates for the 7(a) 
program. Previous reports from the GAO indicate that subsidy 
costs have been inflated. OMB estimates of the subsidy cost of 
the 7(a) program consistently show execution rates are 
inflated. This could lead to the overcharging of small business 
owners. The Committee believes that the 7(a) program is already 
operating near a zero subsidy rate and that the budget request 
should contain a one-time accurate accounting change to reflect 
that reality. The Committee recommends that this one-time 
accounting change be reflected in future budget requests. The 
recommendation includes $3,726,000 in subsidy budget authority 
for the Microloan program, which will support a program level 
of approximately $26,553,000 in fiscal year 2003, assuming a 
subsidy rate of 13.05 percent.

                     DISASTER LOANS PROGRAM ACCOUNT

Appropriations, 2002....................................    $284,714,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................     197,494,000
Committee recommendation................................     194,494,000

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $194,494,000 
for the disaster loan program. The recommendation does not 
include $3,000,000 for gainsharing. The recommendation is 
identical to the budget request. Of the amount provided, 
$76,140,000 is for direct loan subsidies. This amount, combined 
with carryover and recoveries of $35,000,000 will provide for a 
program level of $795,000,000. The remaining $118,354,000 is 
made available for administrative expenses for the program, and 
can be merged with the agency's salaries and expenses account.

                       ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS

    The Committee wishes to underscore the reprogramming 
requirements outlined in section 605. This recommendation 
includes an administrative provision in the bill language, as 
in last year's bill, providing the authority to transfer funds 
between the Small Business Administration's appropriations 
accounts. The language provides that no account may be 
decreased by more than 5 percent or increased by more than 10 
percent. The language also makes the transfers subject to the 
Committee's standard reprogramming procedures under section 
605. In addition, a reprogramming notification is required in 
any proposed organization, whether or not funding transfers 
will be associated with the proposed reorganization.

                        State Justice Institute


                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

Appropriations, 2002....................................      $3,000,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................      13,550,000
Committee recommendation................................       3,100,000

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $3,100,000. 
The recommendation is $10,450,000 below the budget request. The 
Committee recommendation includes the fiscal year 2002 funding 
level and a 4.1 percent pay adjustment.
    The Institute was created in 1984 to further the 
development and adoption of improved judicial administration in 
State courts. This goal is reached through grants which (1) 
create a national program of assistance to assure a fair and 
effective system of justice, (2) foster coordination with the 
Federal Judiciary in areas of mutual concern, (3) promote 
recognition of the separation of powers, or (4) provide 
education to judges and support personnel through national 
organizations.

              United States-Canada Alaska Rail Commission


                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

Appropriations, 2002....................................      $2,000,000
Budget estimate, 2003...................................................
Committee recommendation................................................

    The Committee does not recommend funding for the United 
States-Canada Alaska Rail Commission. The recommendation is 
identical to the budget request.

(6) contracts out or privatizes any function or activity 
presently performed by Federal employees--unless the
