                      JOINT EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

      The managers on the part of the House and the Senate at 
the conference on the disagreeing votes of the two Houses on 
the amendments of the Senate to the bill (H.R. 1559) making 
emergency wartime supplemental appropriations for the fiscal 
year ending September 30, 2003, and for other purposes, submit 
the following joint statement to the House and the Senate in 
explanation of the effects of the action agreed upon by the 
managers and recommended in the accompanying conference report.
      Report language included by the House in the report 
accompanying H.R. 1559 (H. Rept. 108-55) and included by the 
Senate in the report accompaning S. 762 (S. Rept. 108-33) 
should be complied with unless specifically addressed in this 
statement of the managers. The statement of the managers, while 
repeating some report language for emphasis, is not intended to 
negate the language referred to above unless expressly provided 
herein.

                  TITLE I--WAR-RELATED APPROPRIATIONS

                               CHAPTER 1

                       DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

                      Agriculture Research Service

                        BUILDINGS AND FACILITIES

      The conference agreement includes $110,000,000 for 
continued modernization of facilities in Ames, Iowa, which will 
provide a laboratory building, fixed equipment, and associated 
infrastructure as a complete and usable phase of construction.

                     Public Law 480 Title II Grants

                     (INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

      The conference agreement includes $369,000,000 for Public 
Law 480 title II grants. Within this amount, the confees 
provide $69,000,000 to the Bill Emerson Humanitarian Trust. In 
addition, the conferees recommend language to prohibit the 
exchange of an eligible commodity for another commodity of 
equal value. It is the intention of the conferees that no 
restriction is imposed on the purchase of any authorized 
commodity for replenishment of the Bill Emerson Humanitarian 
Trust.
      The conference agreement for Public Law 480 title II 
grants will allow the restoration of funds to on-going food aid 
programs which were redirected as a result of prioritizing food

work in United States diplomatic facilities. The conferees 
expect the Department to submit to the Committee on

                    DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE--MILITARY

      Chapter 3 of the conference agreement recommends 
$62,378,100,000 for the Department of Defense, as proposed by 
the Senate, instead of $62,409,500,000 as proposed by the 
House.
      Within this amount, the conferees recommend a total of

provisions, instead of $36,973,100,000 as proposed by the House 
and $51,359,100,000 as proposed by the Senate. In addition, the 
conferees recommend $15,678,900,000 for a new appropriation, 
the ``Iraq Freedom Fund''. This transfer account, available to 
the Secretary of Defense, has been expressly provided to 
maximize the Department of Defense's flexibility to address 
future requirements associated with the military operations in 
and around Iraq and the global war on terrorism. The conferees 
have also recommended additional transfer authorities for the 
Department of Defense.
      The conference agreement also includes a new 
appropriations account requested by the President, the 
``National Resources Risk Remediation Fund'', to pay for 
emergency fire fighting, repair damage to oil facilities and 
related infrastructure, and preserve a distribution capability 
in and around Iraq. This account has been structured to allow 
the use of foreign contributions, as well as a limited amount 
of appropriated funds, if required.

authorities, agreed to address fiscal year 2003 funding 
requirements requested by the President relating to

operations; the drawdown of defense funds, articles and 
supplies; and special emergency expense authority for the 
Secretary of Defense and the combatant commanders. The 
conference agreement also includes funding for Department of 
Defense counter-terrorism military training for foreign 
nations, as well as funds to support ongoing Department of 
Defense counter-terrorism efforts in support of the government 
of Colombia.

         Fiscal Year 2003 Appropriations Reporting Requirement

      The conferees recommend supplemental funds based on the 
best financial estimates available at the time the President's 
request was submitted. In providing funds, the conferees held 
public hearings and had extensive briefings by senior 
Department of Defense officials and representatives of the 
military departments. The conferees have endeavored to achieve 
a workable balance between congressional oversight, providing 
the Department with financial flexibility to meet the unknowns 
of ongoing combat operations, and responding promptly to the 
Department's urgent financial requirements.
      The conferees understand that ongoing, dynamic combat 
operations generate an equally dynamic situation for the 
Department. As operations are carried out, financial planning 
assumptions are replaced with actual data. Over time, even the 
best fiscal projections become real costs and financial 
obligations.
      As fiscal year 2003 progresses, the conferees expect that 
Department of Defense and the military departments will be able 
to provide actual fiscal execution information, and better, 
more refined projections of expected costs.
      Accordingly, the conferees direct the Secretary of 
Defense to submit to the congressional defense committees, no 
later than July 1, 2003, a comprehensive financial analysis and 
update for fiscal year 2003. This report will detail both 
actual and projected obligations of appropriations provided in 
this Act, the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2003 
(P.L. 107-248), and the Consolidated Appropriations Resolution, 
2003 (P.L. 108-7).

                          Classified Programs

      Recommended adjustments to classified programs are 
addressed in a classified annex accompanying this report.

                           MILITARY PERSONNEL

      The conference agreement recommends $13,403,000,000 for 
the military personnel accounts, instead of $12,094,500,000 as 
proposed by the House (by transfer from the ``Operation Iraqi 
Freedom Response Fund'') and $13,714,500,000 as proposed by the 
Senate. The conferees' recommendation will fund the known 
incremental costs of pays and allowances for active duty and 
Reserve personnel through the end of the fiscal year. The 
conferees recommend including section 1316, as proposed by the 
Senate, which increases Imminent Danger Pay and Family 
Separation Allowance.

                       OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

      The conference agreement recommends $31,175,000,000 for 
the Operation and Maintenance accounts, instead of 
$21,834,000,000 ($1,400,000,000 by direct appropriation in 
``Operation and Maintenance, Defense-Wide'', and 
$20,434,000,000 by transfer from the ``Operation Iraqi Freedom 
Response Fund'') as proposed by the House, and $35,071,400,000 
as proposed by the Senate.

                    Defense Emergency Response Fund

      The President requested $59,863,200,000 for the ``Defense 
Emergency Response Fund''. The House proposed no appropriation. 
The Senate recommended $11,019,000,000 for this fund. The 
conferees recommend no appropriation for the ``Defense 
Emergency Response Fund''.

                 Operation Iraqi Freedom Response Fund

      The House recommended $59,682,500,000 in the ``Operation 
Iraqi Freedom Response Fund'' of which $34,246,100,000 was for 
transfer to service appropriation accounts, and $25,436,400,000 
was for transfer to a new ``Combat, Stability Operations and 
Force Reconstitution Costs'' account. The Senate provided no 
appropriation for either account. The conference agreement 
recommends no appropriation in the ``Operation Iraqi Freedom 
Response Fund''.

                           Iraq Freedom Fund

      The conference agreement recommends an appropriation of 
$15,678,900,000 for a new appropriation called the ``Iraq 
Freedom Fund''. These funds will be available to the Secretary 
of Defense for transfer. In exercising their oversight role in 
the use of these funds, the conferees provide language 
requiring five day prior notification to the congressional 
defense committees, in writing, of the details of any transfer 
of funds, as well as quarterly reports.
      The conference agreement creates a framework within which 
these funds are expressly provided to maximize flexibility for 
the President and the Department of Defense. The conferees 
provide the authority for the Department of Defense to transfer 
not less than $1,771,180,000 for classified programs; not less 
than $1,100,000,000 for increased fuel costs; up to 
$1,400,000,000 for payments to key cooperating nations; up to 
$489,300,000 for the ``Natural Resources Risk Remediation 
Fund''; up to $400,000,000 for the United States Coast Guard; 
up to $57,600,000 for research, development, test, and 
evaluation; and up to $25,000,000 for counter-terrorism 
training activities.
      The conferees direct the Department of Defense give 
priority in using the ``Iraq Freedom Fund'' to ensure that 
military personnel accounts and the Defense Health Program are 
adequately supported.

             Payments to Reimburse Key Cooperating Nations

      The conference agreement includes language under the 
``Iraq Freedom Fund'' and in section 1310 of the general 
provisions that provides up to $1,400,000,000 in authority to 
make payments to reimburse Pakistan, Jordan, and other key 
cooperating nations for certain expenses. The conference 
agreement limits funds available for such reimbursements to 
those provided in this chapter. The conference agreement 
includes language similar to the House bill on notification and 
reporting requirements.

                Natural Resources Risk Remediation Fund

      The conference agreement includes language creating a new 
account called ``Natural Resources Risk Remediation Fund'' 
(NRRRF). Funds may be transferred to, appropriated to, and 
contributions made to the NRRRF in order to cover expenses 
incurred in and around Iraq for emergency fire fighting, 
repairing damage to oil facilities and related infrastructure, 
and preservation of a distribution capability. Up to 
$489,300,000 of the funds appropriated to the ``Iraq Freedom 
Fund'' in this Act may be transferred to this fund.
      In addition, the Secretary of Defense is authorized to 
accept contributions for the fund. The conferees also recommend 
that amounts available in the ``Defense Cooperation Account'' 
may be transferred to and merged with this fund, and that the 
Secretary of Defense may transfer funds available in the NRRRF 
to other appropriations. The Secretary of Defense may transfer 
funds appropriated to the ``Iraq Freedom Fund'' only to the 
extent that amounts transferred from the ``Defense Cooperation 
Account'' and other contributions are not available. To the 
extent that it becomes necessary to transfer funds from 
appropriations made in this chapter, and contributions become 
available later in the fiscal year, the conferees intend that 
these contributions shall be used to reimburse the ``Iraq 
Freedom Fund''.

                       Counter-Terrorism Training

      The conference agreement includes language that provides 
up to $25,000,000 for counter-terrorism military training 
activities for foreign governments in connection with the 
global war on terrorism 15 days following submission of a 
financial plan to the congressional defense committees.

                              PROCUREMENT

      The conferees have reviewed possible allocations of 
funding requested by the President and believe that there are 
sufficient funds in the ``Iraq Freedom Fund'' for procurement 
of items to meet anticipated requirements for weapons, and 
equipment such as munitions, unmanned aerial vehicles, 
communications equipment, and other items required for military 
operations in Iraq, Afghanistan, and the global war on 
terrorism. The conferees note that in addition to equipment 
lost in Operation Iraqi Freedom, the Department has also 
sustained losses in Afghanistan, as well as losses due to 
mishaps. Among these losses are high-demand, low-density items 
such as Special Operations MH-47 helicopters and Marine Corps 
CH-46 helicopters. The conferees believe that the Department of 
Defense should consider replacing or seeking safety 
improvements to these assets as well as those described in the 
President's request.
      Within the total recommended by the conferees, funds are 
also available to restock munitions, including precision 
munitions, expended in combat or in training. Precision-guided 
weapons may include Laser Guided Bombs, Wind Corrected 
Munitions Dispenser (WCMD), Joint Standoff Weapon (JSOW), 
Affordable Weapon System, Javelin, Tube-launched Optically-
tracked Wire-guided (TOW) Anti-tank Missile, Laser and Longbow 
Hellfire, Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS), Multiple 
Launch Rocket System (MLRS) Rockets, and Stinger. In some 
cases, this is not intended to be a one-for-one replacement of 
expended munitions and precision-guided weapons, but should 
instead be used to acquire upgraded versions of these 
munitions, such as Tactical Tomahawk and Patriot missiles. The 
conferees agree to the reporting requirements concerning 
precision-guided munitions, as proposed by the House.

                Appropriate Use of Funds for Acquisition

      The conferees agree with the House direction regarding 
the appropriate use of funds for acquisition with the following 
changes:
      (1) Items or capabilities that can be fielded in less 
than 18 months (from the date of obligation) require no 
additional notification.
      (2) Items or capabilities requiring greater than 18 
months (from the date of obligation) to operationally field 
require submission of a prior approval reprogramming.

                  OTHER DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE PROGRAMS

                         Defense Health Program

      The conference agreement recommends $501,700,000 for 
Defense Health Program operation and maintenance costs. From 
within this amount, the conferees direct that the Department of 
Defense give priority to the direct care system and military 
medical treatment facilities.

         Drug Interdiction and Counter-Drug Activities, Defense

      The conference agreement provides $34,000,000, as 
requested by the President, to fund increased operational tempo 
in Colombia's unified campaign against narcotics trafficking 
and terrorist activities. The conferees also agree to the 
reporting requirement concerning the obligation of these funds 
proposed by the House.

                    GENERAL PROVISIONS--THIS CHAPTER

      The conferees agree to retain section 1301, as proposed 
by the House, which directs that amounts in the bill shall be 
available for the same time period and subject to the same 
terms and conditions as in Public Law 107-248 and Public Law 
108-7.
      The conferees agree to retain and amend section 1302, as 
proposed by the Senate, which prohibits the financing of 
activities specifically denied by Congress or the initiation of 
a procurement or research, development, test and evaluation new 
start program without prior notification to the congressional 
defense committees. The conferees direct the Department of 
Defense to submit a prior approval reprogramming in any 
instance in which it seeks to use funds in this Act for any 
program denied in previous fiscal year 2003 Appropriations Acts 
as delineated in either the Act or the Statement of the 
Managers accompanying those Acts.
      The conferees agree to retain section 1303, as proposed 
by the House, which prohibits the use of funds provided for 
programs that require greater than four years to operationally 
field.
      The conferees agree to retain and amend section 1304, as 
proposed by the House and the Senate, which provides additional 
funds for the CINC Initiative Fund.
      The conferees agree to retain and amend section 1305, as 
proposed by the House and the Senate, which amends the 
limitation on the amount of ``Operation and Maintenance, 
Defense-Wide'' funds that may be used for emergency and 
extraordinary expenses.
      The conferees agree to retain and amend section 1306, as 
proposed by the House and the Senate, which amends section 8005 
of Public Law 107-248 and Public Law 108-7, addressing transfer 
authority.
      The conferees agree to retain and amend section 1307, as 
proposed by the House and the Senate, which appropriates 
$165,000,000 to reimburse appropriations accounts for the value 
of drawdown support provided by the Department of Defense under 
the Afghan Freedom Support Act. The conference agreement 
includes House language that requires prior written 
notification of the source of funds in any future drawdown. The 
conferees note that the net remaining drawdown authority under 
the Afghan Freedom Support Act of $135,000,000.
      The conferees agree to retain section 1308, as proposed 
by the Senate, which provides that funds appropriated in this 
Act are deemed specifically authorized for the purposes of 
section 504 of the National Security Act of 1947 (50 U.S.C. 
414). The House included similar language.
      The conferees agree to retain and amend section 1309, as 
proposed by the House and the Senate, which allows for the use 
of $63,500,000 of the amounts available to the Department of 
Defense to reimburse appropriations accounts for the value of 
support provided under the Iraq Liberation Act of 1998. Senate 
language is also included that provides for specific transfer 
authority in addition to other transfer authorities available 
to the Department of Defense. The conference report amends 
House language that provides that the aggregate value of 
drawdown authority in fiscal year 2003 may not exceed 
$86,500,000. The Department of Defense is required to provide 
the congressional defense committees written notification not 
later than seven days following the use of the drawdown 
authority under the Iraq Liberation Act of the sources of the 
funds to be used for such purpose. The conferees note that the 
net remaining drawdown authority available in fiscal years 2003 
and 2004 under the Iraq Liberation Act of 1998 is $120,000,000.
      The conference agreement includes a new provision, 
section 1310, similar to language in the House bill and the 
Senate amendment that provides guidance and restrictions on the 
use of up to $1,400,000,000 for the reimbursement of key 
cooperating nations, as discussed elsewhere in this Statement.
      The conferees agree to include a new provision, section 
1311, regarding additional transfer authority for funds 
provided in this chapter. While the conferees believe that the 
allocation of funding recommended in this bill will closely 
reflect the needs of the military services, they also recognize 
that the unpredictable nature of conflict could require some 
reallocation of funds. As such, the conference agreement 
provides the Secretary of Defense with an additional 
$2,000,000,000 in transfer authority for the funds provided in 
this chapter. The conferees direct that the use of this 
transfer authority should be in accordance with restrictions in 
section 8005 of the fiscal year 2003 Department of Defense 
Appropriations Act (PL 107-248). Furthermore, the conferees 
direct that the Defense Department shall comply with accepted 
reprogramming practices to include the submission of DD Form 
1415 prior approval reprogramming requests in using this 
expanded authority.
      The conferees agree to retain section 1312, as proposed 
by the Senate, and deletes language as proposed by the House 
which provides for notification 15 days after obligation of 
military construction funds in excess of $7,500,000.
      The conferees agree to amend section 1313, as proposed by 
the House, which transfers all balances of funds remaining in 
the ``Defense Emergency Response Fund'' on October 31, 2003 to 
the ``Iraq Freedom Fund''.
      The conferees agree to delete language, as proposed by 
the Senate, that would have allowed for the use of unobligated 
Cooperative Threat Reduction funds outside the states of the 
former Soviet Union. The House bill did not address this 
matter.
      The conferees agree to amend and retain section 1314, 
which amends three sections as proposed by the Senate, making 
certain technical adjustments regarding funds in the fiscal 
year 2003 Department of Defense Appropriations Act (P.L. 107-
248).
      The conferees agree to retain section 1315, as proposed 
by the Senate, which makes a technical correction to the 
National Defense Authorization Act of 2003 with respect to 
certain multi-year services contracts.
      The conferees agree to retain section 1316, as proposed 
by the Senate, which increases the monthly allowance for 
Imminent Danger Pay and Family Separation Allowance for fiscal 
year 2003.
      The conferees agree to delete language, as proposed by 
the Senate, which provided $7,500,000 for the Armed Forces 
Institute of Pathology (AFIP) and halted any decrease in the 
number of personnel, but expect the Department of Defense to 
provide sufficient funds and personnel to meet the mission of 
AFIP through the end of the fiscal year.
      The conferees agree to retain section 1317, as proposed 
by the Senate, which rescinds $3,400,000 of the Public Law 107-
248 ``Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Navy'' 
appropriation, for Treatment of Radiation Sickness Research.
      The conferees agree to retain and amend section 1318, as 
proposed by the Senate, which provides certain authorities to 
cover travel and transportation benefits for family members of 
military personnel injured during Operation Noble Eagle, 
Operation Enduring Freedom, or Operation Iraqi Freedom.
      The conferees agree to retain section 1319, as proposed 
by the Senate, which provides certain authorities for the 
procurement of civilian attire for medically evacuated military 
personnel.
      The conferees agree to delete section 607 of title VI in 
the Senate passed bill.

                               CHAPTER 4

                      DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE--CIVIL

                         DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY

                       Corps of Engineers--Civil

                   OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE, GENERAL

      The conference agreement provides $39,000,000 to support 
increased security measures at Corps of Engineers owned and 
operated infrastructure facilities instead of $29,000,000 as 
proposed by the Senate.

                       DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

                         Bureau of Reclamation

                      WATER AND RELATED RESOURCES

      The conference agreement provides $25,000,000 to support 
increased security measures at Bureau of Reclamation owned and 
operated infrastructure facilities as proposed by the Senate. 
The conferees expect that the funds provided in this Act will 
be used primarily for facility hardening activities, additional 
vulnerability assessments, and guards and law enforcement.

                          DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

                            Energy Programs

                                SCIENCE

      The conference agreement provides an additional 
$11,000,000 for the Office of Science to enhance safeguards and 
security at its laboratories, to meet the requirements of a 
revised design basis threat, to fund the costs of maintaining 
those facilities at an elevated security condition in fiscal 
year 2003, and for other purposes.

                    Atomic Energy Defense Activities

                National Nuclear Security Administration

                           WEAPONS ACTIVITIES

      The conference agreement includes $67,000,000 for the 
National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) to meet 
increased safeguards and security needs throughout the nuclear 
weapons complex. The funding provided includes $20,000,000 for 
the activities of the Secure Transportation Asset and 
$47,000,000 to meet increased safeguards and security needs 
throughout the nuclear weapons complex.

                    Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation

      The conference agreement provides $148,000,000 for 
Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation activities by the National 
Nuclear Security Administration. This funding includes: 
$84,000,000 under the International Nuclear Materials 
Protection and Cooperation program to develop and deploy 
radiation detectors at mega seaports, in coordination with the 
Department of Homeland Security, Bureau of Customs and Border 
Protection; $17,000,000 to expand efforts under the 
International Nuclear Materials Protection and Cooperation 
program to secure radioactive materials that may be used to 
construct a radioactive dispersal device (RDD), and to develop 
standards for the cleanup of contamination resulting from a 
potential RDD event; $15,000,000 under Nonproliferation and 
International Security Assistance to expand nonproliferation 
assistance to countries other than the former Soviet Union; 
$15,000,000 under Nonproliferation and Verification R&D for

International Security for international export controls; 
$5,000,000 under International Nuclear Materials Protection and 
Cooperation to support activities in Iraq; $5,000,000 under 
Nonproliferation and Verification R&D for materials and devices

               Environmental and Other Defense Activities

         DEFENSE ENVIRONMENTAL RESTORATION AND WASTE MANAGEMENT

      The conference recommendation provides $6,000,000 for the 
Office of Environmental Management to meet safeguards and 
security requirements at its defense cleanup and waste disposal 
sites.

                        Other Defense Activities

      The conference recommendation provides $4,000,000 under 
Other Defense Activities, including $1,000,000 for additional 
security testing by the Office of Independent Oversight and 
Performance Assessment, and $3,000,000 to meet increased 
intelligence and counterintelligence mission requirements.

                               CHAPTER 5

                     BILATERAL ECONOMIC ASSISTANCE

                  Funds Appropriated to the President

           UNITED STATES AGENCY FOR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT

                CHILD SURVIVAL AND HEALTH PROGRAMS FUNDS

      The conference agreement appropriates $90,000,000 as 
proposed by the Senate instead of $40,000,000 as proposed by 
the House. The recommended level is provided to reimburse the 
account for funds previously borrowed and provided to 
preposition personnel and commodities to address humanitarian 
needs anticipated prior to the commencement of the conflict 
with Iraq. The conferees include language that provides that 
funds are made available until September 30, 2004.

                   INTERNATIONAL DISASTER ASSISTANCE

      The conference agreement appropriates $143,800,000, to 
remain available until expended, instead of $160,000,000 as 
proposed by the House and $112,500,000 as proposed by the 
Senate. These funds include $112,500,000 to reimburse the 
account for funds used to preposition in the vicinity of Iraq 
the necessary personnel, supplies and commodities required to 
rapidly commence implementation of humanitarian assistance in 
Iraq.
      The conference agreement includes language requested by 
the President that would allow additional ``borrowing'' from 
other foreign assistance accounts within this Act. In the event 
that additional ``borrowing'' is contemplated, the conferees 
expect to be consulted by USAID simultaneously with the 
initiation of any discussions with the Office of Management and 
Budget.

        UNITED STATES EMERGENCY FUND FOR COMPLEX FOREIGN CRISES

      The President requested $150,000,000 for a new United 
States Emergency Fund for Complex Foreign Crises. The Senate 
provided the President's request; the House did not. The 
conferees believe that this request should be considered within 
the context of the fiscal year 2004 appropriations and 
authorization processes and therefor do not provide funds for 
this initiative in fiscal year 2003. The conference agreement 
distributes amounts requested for this account to similar 
existing accounts and the new Iraq Relief and Reconstruction 
Fund (Iraq Fund).

   OPERATING EXPENSES OF THE UNITED STATES AGENCY FOR INTERNATIONAL 
                              DEVELOPMENT

      The conference agreement appropriates $24,500,000 for 
Operating Expenses of United States Agency for International 
Development instead of $23,000,000 as proposed by the House and 
$23,600,000 as proposed by the Senate. These funds are to be 
used to implement programs recommended elsewhere in this 
chapter and for security costs in Afghanistan and Pakistan. The 
conferees intend for $1,000,000 to be provided to reimburse the 
USAID Bureau for Asia and the Near East for costs incurred in 
connection with the evacuation of its mission in Jakarta, 
Indonesia, for which no request was received.
      Not less than $3,500,000 from this account may be 
transferred and merged with ``Operating Expenses of the United 
States Agency for International Development Office of Inspector 
General'' to support financial and program audits of the Iraq 
Relief and Reconstruction Fund. The conferees expect the 
Inspector General of USAID to monitor, in particular, the 
contracts and awards that utilize the Iraq Fund, and to report 
promptly to the Committees any credible information he may 
receive regarding impediments to rapid program implementation 
or irregularities in contracting. In making awards to 
contractors engaged in the reconstruction of Iraq, the 
conferees request the Administrator of the U.S. Agency for 
International Development to actively seek to include 
significant participation by small, minority, and disadvantaged 
American-owned business enterprises.

                  Other Bilateral Economic Assistance

                  Funds Appropriated to the President

                  Iraq Relief and Reconstruction Fund

                     (INCLUDING TRANSFERS OF FUNDS)

      The conference agreement appropriates to the President 
$2,475,000,000 for a new Iraq Relief and Reconstruction Fund, 
to remain available until September 30, 2004, instead of 
$2,483,300,000 as proposed by the House and $2,468,300,000 as 
proposed by the Senate.
      The conferees note that this appropriation, some of which 
is requested to meet immediate relief requirements, is likely 
to be a down payment on a much larger United States 
contribution toward the longer-term reconstruction of Iraq.
      As requested by the President, the Iraq Relief and 
Reconstruction Fund (the Iraq Fund) will be used for such 
programs as (1) water/sanitation infrastructure; (2) feeding 
and food distribution; (3) supporting relief efforts related to 
refugees, internally displaced persons, and vulnerable 
individuals, including assistance for families of innocent 
Iraqi civilians who suffer losses as the result of military 
operations; (4) electricity; (5) healthcare; (6) 
telecommunications; (7) economic and financial policy; (8) 
education; (9) transportation; (10) rule of law and governance; 
(11) humanitarian demining; and (12) agriculture.
      The conferees expect that initial obligations from the 
Iraq Fund will focus on the first six priorities listed above, 
especially water/sanitation infrastructure. The conferees 
expect the Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance in cooperation 
with the Office of Reconstruction and Humanitarian Assistance 
to initially focus on provision of clean water, food, 
electricity and other forms of direct relief to vulnerable 
communities. As regions of Iraq are declared to be secure by 
the United States Central Command, economic stabilization 
technical assistance of the Department of the Treasury and 
longer-term reconstruction activities the United States Agency 
for International Development would be mobilized within Iraq.
      The conference agreement designates the Iraq Fund as 
bilateral economic assistance under the authorities of the 
Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended. The funds are 
appropriated to the President who customarily has apportioned 
them to the Department of State and the United States Agency 
for International Development. Because of the special 
circumstances in Iraq, the conferees also provide for direct 
apportionment from the Fund, as necessary, to the Departments 
of Treasury, Defense, and Health and Human Services for 
activities such as Treasury technical assistance, Army Corps of 
Engineers, civil affairs team grants, and for deployment of 
personnel of the Centers for Disease Control.
      The conferees request that the relevant officials of the 
Departments of the Treasury, Defense, and Health and Human 
Services promptly consult with the Subcommittee on Foreign 
Operations, Export Financing, and Related Programs regarding 
modalities for provisions of financial data regarding Iraq 
activities under this account, including memoranda of 
understanding with the USAID Inspector General and notification 
documentation. The conference agreement also provides that 
obligations from the Iraq Fund are subject to notification to 
the Committees on Appropriations 5 days in advance of the 
obligation of such funds. The conferees intend such 
notifications to be treated by the Administration as having the 
same force and effect as notifications provided to the 
Committees on Appropriations in accordance with the Committees' 
regular notification procedures.
      In addition, transfers to agencies other than the 
Department of State and USAID under section 632 of the Foreign 
Assistance Act and under the general provisions of this chapter 
are made subject to notification procedures of the Committees 
on Appropriations.
      The conference agreement includes language directing that 
the Iraq Fund shall be used to fully and promptly reimburse 
accounts administered by the Departments of State and the 
Treasury and the United States Agency for International 
Development, not otherwise reimbursed from funds appropriated 
by this chapter, for obligations incurred for the purposes 
provided under this heading prior to enactment of this Act from 
funds appropriated for foreign operations, export financing, 
and related programs. In particular, $150,000,000 ``borrowed'' 
for purchase of food under the authority of section 507 of the 
fiscal year 2003 Foreign Operations, Export Financing and 
Related Programs Appropriations Act from the Development 
Assistance account and the Economic Support Fund should be 
reimbursed without delay. The conferees expect rapid 
reimbursement of an additional $50,000,000 that was 
``borrowed'' from the Development Assistance account for Iraq 
assistance under the provisions of section 492(b) of the 
Foreign Assistance Act.
      The conference agreement provides that funds made 
available for rehabilitation and reconstruction in Iraq should 
include assistance to families of innocent Iraqi civilians who 
suffer losses as a result of the military operations. The 
managers intend that USAID and the Department of State, in 
coordination with the Department of Defense and nongovernmental 
organizations, will seek to identify families of non-combatant 
Iraqis who were killed or injured or whose homes were damaged 
during recent military operations, and to provide appropriate 
assistance.
      The conference agreement also includes a general 
provision requiring two reports from the President: (1) within 
30 days of enactment on this Act on the proposed Iraq Fund 
management structure and (2) within 45 days on strategies for 
reconstruction and the establishment of an independent civil 
government in Iraq, coordination with other governments and 
international organizations, burden-sharing, and estimated 
costs.
      Beginning not later than 90 days following enactment of 
this Act and every 90 days thereafter until September 2004, the 
conference agreement requires the President to submit periodic 
reports on significant ongoing and proposed United States-
funded reconstruction activities in Iraq and the extent of 
financial pledges and actual contributions for assistance in 
Iraq by foreign governments and international organizations.

                         ECONOMIC SUPPORT FUND

      The conference agreement appropriates $2,422,000,000 
instead of $2,342,000,000 as proposed by the House and 
$2,357,900,000 as proposed by the Senate.
      The conference agreement includes not less than 
$700,000,000 for Jordan, as proposed by both the Senate and the 
House.
      The conference agreement includes $300,000,000, to remain 
available until September 30, 2005, only for grants to Egypt, 
which may be used to guarantee loans of not to exceed 
$2,000,000,000 as proposed by both the House and Senate. The 
conference agreement: (1) provides that all fees associated 
with Egypt's loan guarantees shall be paid by the Government of 
Egypt to the Government of the United States; (2) allows funds 
in this Act and prior appropriated funds for Egypt to be used 
for the cost of loan guarantees; (3) provides that the 
President should take into consideration budgetary and economic 
reforms undertaken by Egypt; and (4) provides that loan 
guarantees are backed by the full faith and credit of the 
United States.
      The conference agreement includes permissive language 
that allows the President to provide not to exceed 
$1,000,000,000 for Turkey similar to the Senate bill and the 
same as the House bill. These funds remain available until 
September 30, 2005 and may be used to provide or guarantee 
loans up to $8,500,000,000. The conferees agree to the Senate 
provision that any balance of funds not made available to 
Turkey under this paragraph shall be transferred to, and merged 
with, funds appropriated for the Iraq Relief and Reconstruction 
Fund.
      The conference agreement provides that none of the funds 
for Turkey in this Act under the Economic Support Fund may be 
made available for Turkey if the Secretary of State determines 
and reports to the Committees on Appropriations of the House 
and Senate, the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate 
and the Committee on International Relations of the House that 
the Government of Turkey is not cooperating with the United 
States in Operation Iraqi Freedom, including the facilitation 
of humanitarian assistance to Iraq, or has unilaterally 
deployed forces into northern Iraq.
      The conference agreement also: (1) allows funds in this 
Act and prior appropriated funds for Turkey to be used by the 
Government of Turkey to pay the United States for all fees 
associated with loans and loan guarantees; (2) provides that 
the President should take into consideration budgetary and 
economic reforms undertaken by Turkey; and (3) specifies that 
loan guarantees are backed by the full faith and credit of the 
United States.
      The conference agreement includes not less than 
$30,000,000 for assistance for the Philippines to further the 
prospects for peace in Mindanao. The Senate Bill included 
$50,000,000 for this purpose and the House bill did not address 
this issue. The conferees endorse the Senate report language 
related to this assistance.
      The conference agreement includes $167,000,000 for 
Afghanistan to continue efforts to support security and 
economic growth in that nation, of which up to $100,000,000 is 
provided to accelerate the completion of the major Kabul-
Kandahar road; $10,000,000 is provided, as necessary, for 
grants by provincial reconstruction teams; and $57,000,000 is 
provided for implementation of the Bonn electoral process and 
operational support for the Afghanistan Government.
      The conferees note the continued importance of ensuring 
that women are active participants in all facets of the 
reconstruction process in Afghanistan, particularly as the 
Afghan people assume greater responsibility for Afghan 
development. The conferees support efforts by women-led, Afghan 
nongovernmental organizations to expand their capacity to 
manage critical programs and services. The conferees also urge 
that United States funds be used to bolster the role of women 
in the Bonn electoral process.
      The conference agreement includes $10,000,000 for 
investigations and research into allegations of war crimes, 
crimes against humanity, or genocide committed by Saddam 
Hussein or other Iraqis, and for a contribution to an 
international tribunal to bring these individuals to justice. 
This proviso is similar to language included in the Senate bill 
as section 505. The House bill did not address this issue. The 
conferees request that not later than 120 days after enactment 
of this Act the Secretary of State report to the Committees on 
Appropriations on plans for the prosecution of these 
individuals.
      The conference agreement also includes $40,000,000 to 
reimburse the Economic Support Fund account for resources 
advanced to fund supplies, commodities and services prior to 
the conflict in Iraq.
      As all fiscal year 2003 funds that were transferred from 
this account to accommodate pre-positioning of Iraq relief and 
reconstruction are being fully reimbursed and restored by this 
Act, the conferees expect the Department of State to revise its 
current 653(a) country allocation report, consistent with the 
intent of Congress in Division E of Public Law 108-7 and House 
Report 108-10, with regard to the Special Court for Sierra 
Leone, the Muslim Exchange Program, and technical assistance to 
implement the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme.

                       Loan Guarantees to Israel

      The conference agreement includes $9,000,000,000 in loan 
guarantees for Israel during the period beginning March 1, 2003 
and ending September 30, 2005 as included in both the House and 
Senate bills. Of this assistance, $3,000,000,000 may be issued 
in fiscal year 2003 or thereafter, and $3,000,000,000 may be 
issued subsequent to September 30, 2004. The conference 
agreement provides that these guarantees shall be backed by the 
full faith and credit of the United States. The agreement 
restricts these resources to support activities in the 
geographic areas which were subject to the administration of 
the Government of Israel before June 5, 1967 and that 
guarantees may be reduced for any activities that the President 
of the United States determines are inconsistent with the 
objectives and understandings reached between the United States 
and the Government of Israel regarding the implementation of 
the loan guarantee program, as was proposed by the House and 
Senate bills. The conference agreement provides that the 
President shall take into consideration budgetary and economic 
reforms undertaken by Israel. The conferees expect the State 
Department to provide to the appropriate Committees of Congress 
any letters of understanding reached between the government of 
the United States and Israel on economic reform measures and 
settlement related activities that pertain to the issuance of 
these loan guarantees.
      As was previously the case with the 1992 loan guarantees, 
all associated fees are to be paid by the Government of Israel 
to the United States Government, and the conference agreement 
includes language, not in the House or Senate bills, clarifying 
that the interest rate for loans guaranteed may include a 
reasonable fee to cover the costs and fees incurred by the 
borrower in connection with this financing.

                          DEPARTMENT OF STATE

          International Narcotics Control and Law Enforcement

      The conference agreement appropriates $25,000,000 as 
proposed by the House and the Senate. These funds would remain 
available for obligation until September 30, 2004, as proposed 
by the House and the Senate.

                     ANDEAN COUNTERDRUG INITIATIVE

      The conference agreement appropriates $34,000,000 as 
proposed by the House and the Senate. The conference agreement 
provides that funds shall remain available for obligation until 
September 30, 2004 as proposed by the House and by the Senate.
      The conferees are concerned with reports of rising 
numbers of impoverished Colombians who are displaced from their 
homes as a result of armed conflict. Therefore, the conference 
agreement provides that not less than $5,000,000 should be made 
available for assistance to these people, and encourages USAID 
and the State Department's Bureau of Population, Refugees and 
Migration to support organizations such as the League of 
Displaced Women in Bolivar, which work to protect the rights 
and needs of displaced women and children.

     United States Emergency Refugee and Migration Assistance Fund

      The conference agreement appropriates $80,000,000 as 
proposed by the House instead of $75,000,000 as proposed by the 
Senate. The President has drawn down $40,000,000 to date from 
ERMA for Iraq-related costs. Including the President's request 
for ERMA replenishment, the ERMA balance is considerably lower 
than recent historical levels. Therefore the conferees 
recommend an additional $40,000,000 for ERMA to meet unforeseen 
emergency needs.

    NONPROLIFERATION, ANTI-TERRORISM, DEMINING, AND RELATED PROGRAMS

      The conference agreement appropriates $28,000,000 as 
proposed by the House and the Senate for Nonproliferation, 
Anti-Terrorism, Demining and Related Programs.

                          MILITARY ASSISTANCE

                  Funds Appropriated to the President

                   FOREIGN MILITARY FINANCING PROGRAM

      The conference agreement recommends $2,059,100,000 for 
Foreign Military Financing Program as provided by the House and 
Senate.
      The conference agreement includes not less than 
$1,000,000,000 for grants only for Israel, requires these funds 
to be disbursed within 30 days of enactment of this Act, and 
specifies $263,000,000 of this allocation shall be available 
for acquisition of defense services and articles in Israel. The 
conference agreement also provides not less than $406,000,000 
for Jordan.
      The conference agreement assumes the following 
allocations as supported in the House and Senate reports; 
$170,000,000 for Afghanistan to train, equip and support the 
Afghan National Army; $175,000,000 to provide Pakistan with 
improved border security and counter-terrorism capabilities, 
and $30,000,000 for counter-terrorism assistance to the 
Philippines.
      The conferees agree to Senate language that provides up 
to $20,000,000 may be transferred to and merged with the Andean 
Counterdrug Initiative account for aircraft, training and other 
assistance for the Colombian Armed Forces.
      The conferees have included language requiring regular 
notification procedures of the Committees on Appropriations in 
advance of commitment of funds and clarifying the basis for 
such notifications. The Senate bill included language that 
required notification in advance of obligation of funds and the 
House did not address the issue.
      The conferees expect that notifications to the Committees 
of deviation from the notification report in terms of the 
amount, and significant deviation in terms of the kind of 
assistance being provided, will be transmitted to the Committee 
five days in advance of commitment.

                        PEACEKEEPING OPERATIONS

      The conference agreement appropriates $100,000,000 for 
Peacekeeping Operations instead of $115,000,000 as provided by 
the House and $150,000,000 as recommended by the Senate. The 
conferees include language that provides that the funds are 
available until September 30, 2004. The conferees note that the 
supplemental budget request provided little detail in support 
of the $200,000,000 request. The conferees note that section 
1501 provides not to exceed $100,000,000 in transfer authority 
should peacekeeping activities occur in excess of the amounts 
provided in this agreement.

                    GENERAL PROVISIONS--THIS CHAPTER

      Under section 1501, the conference report includes 
language similar to section 501 of the Senate amendment that 
allows transfers among certain international assistance 
programs in this chapter in an amount not to exceed 
$100,000,000. The section requires consultation and a five-day 
notification. The Senate amendment included an amount not to 
exceed $200,000,000 and the House bill did not address this 
matter.
      Under section 1502 of the general provisions, language is 
included similar to that in the House bill and Senate amendment 
that would extend the authority to provide assistance for Iraq 
notwithstanding any other provision of law. The conference 
agreement provides that funds made available for assistance for 
Iraq under this chapter are subject to section 553 of Public 
Law 108-7. However, the conferees recognize that the uniquely 
insecure conditions in Iraq may necessitate some modification 
of normal vetting procedures under section 553 until the 
security conditions improve.
      Use of the notwithstanding provision in section 1502 is 
subject to a five-day notification in advance of obligation. 
Similar to the House provision, the section allows a waiver of 
notification in the case of substantial risk to human health or 
welfare.
      The conference agreement, under section 1503, includes a 
provision similar to the House bill that would make 
inapplicable the Iraq Sanctions Act of 1990 and authorize the 
President to make inapplicable with respect to Iraq section 
620A and section 307 of the Foreign Assistance Act with respect 
to Iraq. The conference agreement includes a provision similar 
to that proposed by the House and Senate stating that nothing 
in this section shall affect the applicability of the Iran-Iraq 
Arms Non-Proliferation Act of 1992, but the conferees allow for 
an exception as it applies to humanitarian assistance and 
supplies. The purpose of this proviso is to clarify that the 
suspension of the Iraq Sanctions Act is not intended to affect 
the continued applicability of that Act to Iran pursuant to 
section 1603 of the Iran-Iraq Arms Non-Proliferation Act of 
1992. The exception in the proviso for humanitarian assistance 
and supplies will permit, notwithstanding section 1603, the 
issuance of export licenses for Iran that support the provision 
of humanitarian assistance and supplies to Iraq. The conference 
agreement provides that military equipment as defined by Title 
XVI, section 1608(1)(A) of Public Law 102-484 shall not be 
exported. The conference agreement requires that the exercise 
of authorities of section 1503 are subject to notification, and 
the conferees require a periodic report containing a summary of 
all licenses approved for export to Iraq if the item is on the 
Commerce Control List contained in the Export Administration 
Regulations, including the identification of end users of such 
items. The conferees do not intend for the authorities 
contained in this section to be permanent, and the section will 
expire on September 30, 2004 unless a prior Iraq authorization 
bill has been enacted that amends, repeals or makes the section 
inapplicable.
      Under section 1504, the conference agreement provides for 
the export to Iraq of any nonlethal military equipment 
notwithstanding any other provision of law. The conference 
agreement provides an exception to the non-lethal military 
equipment limitation for equipment designated by the Secretary 
of State for use by a reconstituted (or interim) Iraqi military 
or police force. The conferees intend that such exports be 
limited to small arms and ammunition.
      The section provides the President with the flexibility 
to authorize exports to Iraq upon determining that they are in 
the national interest of the United States. The conferees do 
not intend for the authority contained in this section to be 
permanent, and the section will expire on September 30, 2004 
unless a prior authorization bill has been enacted that amends, 
repeals or makes the section inapplicable.
      The conference agreement does not include section 505 of 
the Senate amendment. This provision is addressed under the 
Economic Support Fund. The House did not address this matter.
      The conference agreement does not include section 506 of 
the Senate amendment that expressed the Sense of the Senate 
regarding the awarding of contracts and grants for relief and 
reconstruction in Iraq from funds in this chapter. The House 
addressed this matter in section 3002 of Title III.
      The conference agreement does not include section 507 of 
the Senate amendment that expressed the Sense of the Senate 
that reconstruction of Iraq should be funded from Iraqi oil 
revenues. The House did not address this matter.
      Under section 1505 the conference agreement amends 
current law restrictions on fiscal year 2003 funding for 
Ukraine to limit assistance to the central Government of 
Ukraine if the Secretary of State reports that the Government 
of Ukraine has facilitated arms sales or arms transfers to 
Iraq. The Senate proposed a waiver of current law, and the 
House did not address this matter.
      Under section 1506 the conference agreement requires 
reports related to United States and other activities in Iraq 
and associated costs.

                               CHAPTER 6

          Homeland Security Appropriations, 2003 Supplemental

      The conference agreement on the Homeland Security chapter 
of the Emergency Wartime Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2003, 
incorporates some of the language and allocations set forth in 
House Report 108-55 and some of the language and allocations 
set forth in Senate Report 108-33. The language in House Report 
108-55 and Senate Report 108-33 should be complied with unless 
specifically addressed in the accompanying statement of 
managers.
      Throughout the accompanying explanatory statement, the 
managers refer to the Committee and Committees on 
Appropriations. Unless otherwise noted, in both instances, the 
managers are referring to the House Subcommittee on Homeland 
Security and the Senate Subcommittee on Homeland Security.

                    DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

                        Departmental Management

                         COUNTERTERRORISM FUND

      The conferees agree to provide $150,000,000 for the 
Counterterrorism Fund, instead of $1,135,000,000 as proposed by 
the Senate. The Counterterrorism Fund exists to reimburse any 
Department of Homeland Security organization for the 
unanticipated costs of providing support to prevent, counter, 
investigate, respond to, or prosecute unexpected threats or 
acts of terrorism. Funds shall remain available until expended, 
but may not be obligated until 15 days after notification of 
the Committees on Appropriations. In addition, the funds are 
subject to the reprogramming requirements set forth in Section 
1601 of this chapter.

                  Citizenship and Immigration Services

                           OPERATING EXPENSES

      The conferees agree to provide $3,000,000 for additional 
expenses related to Operation Liberty Shield, instead of 
$1,000,000 as proposed by the House. Funds shall remain 
available until expended, but may not be obligated until 15 
days after notification of the Committees on Appropriations.

                      United States Secret Service

                           OPERATING EXPENSES

      The conferees agree to provide $30,000,000 for additional 
expenses related to Operation Liberty Shield, as proposed by 
the House. Funds shall remain available until expended, but may 
not be obligated until 15 days after notification of the 
Committees on Appropriations.

                   Border and Transportation Security

                     CUSTOMS AND BORDER PROTECTION

      The conferees agree to provide $333,000,000 for 
additional expenses related to Operation Liberty Shield and for 
other homeland security purposes, instead of $428,000,000 as 
proposed by the House. Funds shall remain available until 
expended, but may not be obligated until 15 days after 
notification of the Committees on Appropriations. This amount 
includes $35,000,000 to support the Container Security 
Initiative and $25,000,000 to fully fund the transfer of 285 
Border Patrol Agents to the Northern Border.
      In addition, the conferees include $60,000,000 for the 
cost of additional inspectors and associated positions on the 
Northern Border and at maritime ports of entry, and $90,000,000 
for portal radiation detection and monitoring technology and 
non-intrusive inspection technology. In addition to the 
requirement for a 15-day prior notification, the conferees 
direct that none of these funds may be obligated (1) for 
additional personnel until the Commissioner of the Bureau of 
Customs and Border Protection submits to the Committees on 
Appropriations a detailed budget execution plan for hiring and 
deploying the additional personnel, including timeframe and 
locations; or (2) for new detection, monitoring and inspection 
technology until the Commissioner submits to the Committees a 
revised technology investment plan that includes the impact of 
this additional funding on agency performance, as well as 
proposed deployment schedules and locations.

              COMMERCIAL VEHICLE SCREENING AT KEY BRIDGES

      The conferees are concerned about the vulnerability of 
bridge ports of entry on the U.S.-Canada border to vehicle 
traffic that might contain radioactive material and direct the 
Bureau of Customs and Border Protection to implement its 
current plan to install a portal radiation monitor in May of 
2003 at the Blue Water Bridge port of entry at Port Huron, 
Michigan. The conferees also direct that inspectors at the port 
of entry be fully trained in the detection of radioactive 
materials in cargo and equipped, as appropriate, with both 
personal radiation detectors and isotope identifiers. Because 
commercial motor vehicles carrying municipal solid waste may be 
used intentionally or accidentally to transport radioactive or 
other hazardous material, the conferees direct the Bureau to 
screen and inspect such vehicles as necessary to enforce 
federal law and, as appropriate, State law governing such 
traffic. The Bureau should give particular attention to traffic 
using the Ambassador Bridge port of entry in Detroit, Michigan, 
and the Blue Water Bridge port of entry in Port Huron, 
Michigan. The Bureau of Customs and Border Protection shall 
also reevaluate whether municipal solid waste should continue 
to be classified as a ``low risk commodity'' under the Border 
Release Advanced Screening and Selectivity (BRASS) System.

                  IMMIGRATION AND CUSTOMS ENFORCEMENT

      The conferees agree to provide $170,000,000 for 
additional expenses related to Operation Liberty Shield and 
related homeland security missions, instead of $185,000,000 as 
proposed by the House. Funds shall remain available until 
expended, but may not be obligated until 15 days after 
notification of the Committees on Appropriations. This amount 
includes $15,000,000 for additional special agents, 
intelligence analysts, and air and marine enforcement personnel 
at the Northern Border and maritime ports of entry. However, 
none of these funds may be obligated until the Assistant 
Secretary for Immigration and Customs Enforcement submits to 
the Committees on Appropriations a detailed budget execution 
plan for hiring and deploying the additional personnel, 
including timeframe and locations.

                           ENTRY EXIT SYSTEM

      The Department has not formally submitted a budget 
execution plan for the use of the $380,000,000 appropriated for 
the Entry Exit project as provided by Public Law 108-7. 
However, in order to avoid significant delays, the conferees 
approve the Department's use of up to $5,000,000 of these funds 
to support contract work on critical prerequisite elements to 
include privacy impacts, system security, cost-benefit 
analysis, statement of work, and systems requirements 
specifications. The conferees direct that no additional 
obligations shall be made until an expenditure plan has been 
approved by the Department and by the Office of Management and 
Budget, reviewed by the General Accounting Office (GAO), and 
approved by the Committee on Appropriations. Such plan must 
meet the requirements specified in Public Law 108-7, with the 
exception that availability of these funds for obligation and 
expenditure shall be governed by reprogramming guidelines set 
forth in Section 1601 of this Act. The conferees expect that 
the expenditure plan will contain sufficient detail and 
documentation to explain planned capabilities and benefits, 
timeframes for delivery, costs, and progress in meeting prior 
expenditure plan targets. The plan should also describe the 
management actions being taken to assure that the Entry Exit 
system will meet established goals for system capability, 
benefits, schedule, and cost. The conferees also direct that 
the Bureau and Department, in their quarterly briefings to the 
Committee, include information on any changes in previously 
submitted expenditure plans and documentation.
      As the Entry Exit project is now the responsibility of 
the Department of Homeland Security, the conferees direct the 
Department to develop a close cooperative working relationship 
with GAO. In order for GAO to support the Committees in their 
oversight of this important and expensive project, the 
Department should allow access to working documents and 
consultation and Departmental, Directorate, Bureau and project 
staff on a routine, confidential and professional basis prior 
to submission of spending plans to the Committees. The 
Department should establish the same relationship with GAO on 
Entry Exit as has been established with the Automated 
Commercial Environment (ACE) project. The Committees on 
Appropriations will take no action on funding requests until 
GAO has completed its review of proposed plans and shares its 
evaluation with the Committees. If GAO has been permitted to 
develop sufficient understanding of the overall management of 
the Entry Exit program, and is provided adequate information of 
a plan before its submission, the review should be completed 
within 30 days. If GAO is afforded insufficient advance 
information, the time will be as long as reasonably required 
for GAO to conduct its review to assess compliance of the plan 
with established requirements.

                 Transportation Security Administration

      The conferees agree to provide $665,000,000 for the 
Transportation Security Administration (TSA) instead of 
$390,000,000 as proposed by the House. Funds shall remain 
available until expended but may not be obligated until 15 days 
after notification of the Committees on Appropriations. The Act 
includes funding for critically needed transportation security 
requirements as follows:

Physical modifications of commercial service airports to 
    install checked baggage explosive detection machines    $235,000,000
Port security grants....................................      20,000,000
Passenger screener hiring, training, and related costs..     280,000,000

      No funding has been provided in this Act to hire 
additional staff, particularly aviation screeners, or to 
otherwise supplement previously appropriated funding for TSA 
staffing requirements.

                 FISCAL YEAR 2003 FUNDING REQUIREMENTS

      By May 1, 2003, the conferees direct the Administrator of 
the Transportation Security Administration to submit a budget 
execution plan, approved by the Office of Management and 
Budget, detailing spending levels, by budget line item, 
program, project, and activity. The conferees expect the budget 
line items included in this plan to be the same line items 
informally submitted by TSA to the Committees on Appropriations 
in July of 2002 and modified in December of 2002. In developing 
this budget execution plan, TSA should detail the following: 
(1) fiscal year 2003 obligations by budget line item as of 
March 31, 2003, (2) TSA's fiscal year 2003 yearly obligation 
estimates by budget line item, (3) how the yearly estimates by 
budget line item were derived, and (4) a detailed explanation 
of why and how these costs have changed since the July and 
December 2003 budget documents. The conferees expect all 
programs and activities specifically funded by Congress either 
in bill or report language in Public Laws 107-206 and 108-7 to 
be fully funded in this plan. For those items that TSA believes 
should be reprogrammed, a detailed explanation of why this 
reprogramming should occur must accompany the plan. TSA shall 
follow the reprogramming guidelines contained in this Act.

                          PORT SECURITY GRANTS

      The conferees are aware of approximately $1,000,000,000 
in port security requirements in the first year and 
$4,400,000,000 over 10 years, as estimated by the Coast Guard. 
To date, $368,000,000 has been appropriated to these efforts 
and an additional $20,000,000 is provided in this Act. However, 
TSA has only issued port security grants totaling $93,000,000. 
The conferees direct TSA to issue grants for the remainder of 
these previous appropriations no later than 60 days after 
enactment of this Act.

                        TRUCKING INDUSTRY GRANTS

      Of the funds provided under Public Law 108-7 for trucking 
industry grants, the conferees direct that $20,000,000 (as 
adjusted by section 601 of Division N of Public Law 108-7) be 
used to fund nation-wide trucking security and safety

adjusted by section 601 of Division N of Public Law 108-7) be 
used for Operation Safe Commerce.

                Federal Law Enforcement Training Center

                           OPERATING EXPENSES

      The conferees agree to provide $2,000,000 for additional 
expenses of the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center as 
proposed by the House. Funds shall remain available until 
expended, but may not be obligated until 15 days after 
notification of the Committees on Appropriations.

                    Office for Domestic Preparedness

      The conferees agree to provide $2,230,000,000 for the 
Office for Domestic Preparedness (ODP) instead of 
$2,200,000,000 as proposed by the House and the Senate. The 
conferees agree that none of these funds may be used for 
construction activities and further agree that these funds 
shall be used for purposes consistent with State domestic 
preparedness plans.
      Within the amounts provided, the conferees include 
$1,300,000,000 for a formula grant program to be allocated to 
the States subject to Section 1014 of Public Law 107-56. The 
conferees agree that funds shall be disbursed within 60 days of 
enactment of this Act; the conferees further agree that not 
less than 80 percent of funding provided to each State shall be 
transferred to local governments within 45 days of the State's 
receipt of funds.
      An additional $200,000,000 is provided for critical 
infrastructure formula-based grants subject to Section 
1014(c)(3) of Public Law 107-56. The conferees agree that funds 
shall be disbursed within 60 days of enactment of this Act; the 
conferees further agree that not less than 50 percent of 
funding provided to each State shall be transferred to local 
governments within 45 days of the State's receipt of funds.
      The conferees also provide $700,000,000 for discretionary 
grants to high-threat, high-density urban areas, and for the 
protection of critical infrastructure. The conferees expect 
that ODP will allocate these funds no later than 30 days after 
enactment of this Act. The conferees also agree that no less 
than 80 percent of discretionary grants provided to any State 
shall be transferred to local governments within 45 days of the 
State's receipt of funds. In making grants to State and local 
governments, the conferees further direct the Secretary of 
Homeland Security to take into consideration credible threat, 
vulnerability, the presence of infrastructure of national 
importance, population, and identified needs of public 
agencies. Grants may be made to single or multiple 
jurisdictions in the same urban area.
      Finally, the conferees agree to provide $30,000,000 for 
direct technical assistance to States.
      The conferees agree that overtime expenses incurred and 
related to heightened security levels are an eligible use of 
funds provided for both critical infrastructure grants and 
discretionary grants to high-threat, high-density urban areas 
and for the protection of critical infrastructure.
      The conferees direct ODP to submit a plan, no later than 
120 days after enactment of this Act, on overtime 
accountability. This report shall include how overtime costs in 
direct support of increased security can be properly measured 
at the State and local government levels and a plan for 
reimbursement of these expenses.
      In addition to reports to be submitted to the Committees 
on Appropriations in accordance with Senate Report 108-33, the 
conferees further direct the Department to provide a report 
that lists all federal programs within the Department of 
Homeland Security that make grants to States and/or local 
governments, including those for emergency preparedness and 
support for first responders, public health agencies, local law 
enforcement agencies and other security providers. The report 
shall be submitted by May 30, 2003 and include: (1) the amount 
of funds appropriated for each of fiscal years 2002 and 2003; 
(2) the amount of appropriated funds that have been obligated 
by the Department of Homeland Security and the grantee and 
expended by the grantee; (3) the point of contact in the 
federal government responsible for responding to inquiries on 
the status of grant funds; and (4) the administrative or other 
impediments that may delay the obligation of grant funds.

                       United States Coast Guard

                           OPERATING EXPENSES

      The conferees agree to provide a total of $228,000,000 
for additional operating expenses of the Coast Guard instead of 
$230,000,000 as proposed by the House and $580,000,000 as 
proposed by the Senate. In addition to the $228,000,000 
provided under this heading, $400,000,000 is provided to the 
Coast Guard by transfer from the Department of Defense. Funds 
shall remain available until expended, but may not be obligated 
until 15 days after notification of the Committees on 
Appropriations. Funds are provided as follows:

anti-missile device for commercial aircraft. The plan should 
identify the process for delivery and certification of a 
prototype and the proposed cost and schedule for such an 
activity. The report should be provided to the Committees on 
Appropriations within 30 days of enactment of this Act.

                  Emergency Preparedness and Response

                           OPERATING EXPENSES

proposed by the Senate. Funds may not be obligated until 15 
days after notification of the Committees on Appropriations.

           Information Analysis and Infrastructure Protection

                           OPERATING EXPENSES

Information Analysis and Infrastructure Protection Directorate, 
instead of $10,000,000 as proposed by the House.

                    GENERAL PROVISIONS--THIS CHAPTER

      Sec. 1601. The conferees agree to modify a provision 
proposed by the House providing reprogramming guidelines for 
the Department of Homeland Security.
      Section 1601 requires the Department of Homeland Security 
to promptly and fully inform the Committees on Appropriations 
when a change in program execution and funding is required 
during the fiscal year. To assist the Department in this 
effort, the following guidance is provided for reprogramming 
during fiscal year 2003.
      A reprogramming shall be submitted for any action that 
(1) creates a new program; (2) eliminates a program, project or 
activity; (3) increases funds for any program, project, or 
activity for which funds have been denied or restricted by 
Congress; or (4) proposes to use funds directed for a specific 
activity in an appropriations Act or accompanying reports of 
the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations, or 
accompanying conference reports and joint explanatory 
statements of the committee of conference, for a different 
purpose.
      A reprogramming shall be submitted when any Departmental 
action results in the movement of funds to or from any program, 
project, or activity in excess of $5,000,000 or 10 percent, 
whichever is less.
      The Department must notify the Committees on 
Appropriations on both Houses of Congress 15 days in advance of 
such reprogrammings. The Department must also notify the 
Committees at the end of each quarter during the fiscal year of 
all reprogramming actions that have been completed during that 
quarter involving less then $5,000,000 or 10 percent.
      Clearly stated and detailed documentation presenting 
justification for the reprogramming shall accompany each 
request. Additionally, each request shall include a declaration 
that, as of the date of the request, none of the funds included 
in the request have been obligated, and none will be obligated, 
until the Committees on Appropriations have approved the 
request.
      For purposes of this section, the term ``program, 
project, and activity'' shall mean any item for which a dollar 
amount is contained in an appropriations Act (including joint 
resolutions providing continuing appropriations) or 
accompanying reports of the House and Senate Committees on 
Appropriations, or accompanying conference reports and joint 
explanatory statement of the committee of conference.
      The conferees further expect the Department to comply 
with directives in the statements of managers accompanying any 
appropriations conference report relative to appropriations for 
programs, projects and activities transferred to the 
Department.
      Sec. 1602. The conferees agree to include a provision 
proposed by the Senate allowing the Under Secretary of Homeland 
Security for Border and Transportation Security to issue 
letters of intent to airports to provide assistance for the 
installation of explosive detection systems and requiring 
status reports.
      Sec. 1603. The conferees agree to include a provision 
proposed by the Senate allowing the Bureau of Customs and 
Border Protection to accept donations of body armor for United 
States Border Patrol agents and Border Patrol canines.
      Senate Bill Sec. 601. --The conferees agree not to 
include a provision proposed by the Senate requiring inspection 
of all commercial motor vehicles entering the United States 
through specific ports of entry. This issue has been addressed 
in the Bureau of Customs and Border Protection section of the 
statement of managers.

                               CHAPTER 7

                DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

               Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

                DISEASE CONTROL, RESEARCH, AND TRAINING

      The conference agreement includes $16,000,000 for costs 
associated with the prevention and control of Severe Acute 
Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) as proposed by the House. The 
Senate had provided the same amount within the Office of the 
Secretary.
      The conferees understand that sufficient funds were made 
available to the CDC for injury prevention and control to 
maintain support for activities to better understand the scope 
of child abuse and neglect and its consequences at the FY2002 
level.

                        Office of the Secretary

            PUBLIC HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICES EMERGENCY FUND

      The conference agreement includes $100,000,000 within the 
Public Health and Social Services Emergency Fund for the 
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to assist State and 
local health authorities with the costs associated with the 
civilian smallpox vaccination program, instead of $94,000,000 
as proposed by the House. The Senate had provided $105,000,000 
for this purpose within the Office of the Secretary. Because 
many State and local health departments have already devoted 
substantial resources to the smallpox vaccination program, 
often at the expense of other important public health and 
bioterrorism preparedness tasks, the conferees intend that 
these funds be available to assist health departments in 
covering costs already incurred as well as to assist with costs 
that will be incurred in the future.
      In addition, the conference agreement includes 
$42,000,000 within the Public Health and Social Services 
Emergency Fund for costs associated with compensating 
individuals with injuries resulting from smallpox vaccine and 
related countermeasures, instead of $50,000,000 as proposed by 
the House and $35,000,000 as proposed by the Senate. The funds 
are made available subject to the enactment of authorizing 
legislation and remain available until expended as proposed by 
both the House and Senate. The conferees intend the funds to be 
used to provide compensation under the rules and conditions 
specified in legislation authorizing a smallpox vaccine 
compensation program.

         SMALLPOX AND OTHER BIOTERRORISM INOCULATION ACTIVITIES

      The conference agreement does not include funds within 
this new account to support grants to States for smallpox and 
other bioterrorism inoculation activities as proposed by the 
Senate. Funds for this purpose have been provided within the 
Public Health and Social Services Emergency Fund account as 
proposed by the House.

                SEVERE ACUTE RESPIRATORY SYNDROME (SARS)

      The conference agreement does not include funds within 
this new account to support costs associated with the 
prevention and control of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome as 
proposed by the Senate. Funds for this purpose have been 
provided within the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 
account as proposed by the House.

                           General Provision

                              REPATRIATION

      Section 1701 of the conference agreement includes a 
provision proposed by the Administration and included in both 
the House and Senate bills that removes, for fiscal year 2003, 
the $1,000,000 statutory cap included in the Social Security 
Act on funds used to provide assistance to U.S. citizens and 
their dependents returning from foreign countries who have been 
determined by the Department of State to be destitute, mentally 
ill, or requiring emergency evacuation due to threatened armed 
conflict, civil strife, or natural disasters.

fund for the Headquarters requirements. The conferees 
anticipate that additional funding for construction will be 
requested in the future through the normal budget process. In 
addition, the Architect of the Capitol is directed to have the 
Naval Facilities Command serve as the primary executing agency 
for this project. A total of $10,000,000 is for the cost of

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

                    GENERAL PROVISIONS--THIS CHAPTER

      This chapter contains two provisions.
      The conferees agree to provide authority for the 
Department of Defense (DOD) to expend up to $150,000,000 of 
funds from the Act for military construction, not otherwise 
authorized by law, which is certified necessary to support the 
war on terrorism or operations in Iraq. Section 1901 
establishes guidelines for transferring funds from other 
accounts into the contingency construction account under the 
auspices of section 2804 of title 10. The provision creates a 
notification system that informs Congress of the transfer and 
justifies the need for the project without slowing down the 
obligation of funds for urgent requirements. The provision 
clarifies the definition of military construction to preclude 
interpretations that would permit the expenditure of 
inappropriate funds for military construction purposes.
      Approximately $750,000,000 appropriated to operation and 
maintenance accounts has been obligated for construction 
activities supporting the global war on terrorism and 
operations in Iraq. Funds for these projects have been expended 
without providing notice to Congress despite repeated requests 
for information by both House and Senate Appropriations 
Committees and House and Senate Armed Services Committees and 
as required by law.
      Some of these projects are, by definition, military 
construction projects. Under title 10, chapter 169, military 
construction projects require congressional authorization and 
appropriation before funds can be obligated. Exceptions exist 
but are limited. Admittedly, the statutorily-mandated military 
construction process is cumbersome and can be slow. Another 
complication is the lack of a dedicated source of funding for 
contingency construction needs. These problems impede timely 
response to urgent requirements of armed conflict.
      To circumvent these obstacles, DOD created a class of 
construction activities for which it deemed operation and 
maintenance funds could be expended. Effectively, without 
benefit of legal authority or regulation, the statutory 
definition of ``military construction'' was obviated for 
certain types of construction projects. Formalized in a 
memorandum issued by the Under Secretary of Defense/Comptroller 
on February 27, 2003, DOD purported to establish a ``practice 
of expending operation and maintenance appropriations for 
construction activities--apart from those projects for which 
[these] appropriations are available under Title 10, United 
States Code, Chapter 169--under narrowly limited conditions.''
      DOD argues that long-standing practice enables it to 
utilize this legal construct under certain circumstances 
despite its effect of vitiating and/or amending the underlying 
statute. Furthermore, DOD asserts that if Congress opposed the 
practice, then Congress would amend the law. The conferees 
disagree with this pronouncement, which effectively obviates 
the law and turns an alleged practice into de facto law. Even 
more troubling to the conferees is the lack of information and/
or notification to Congress about this practice despite 
repeated requests.
      This provision is narrowly tailored to affect only those 
military construction projects that have been construed by the 
February 27, 2003, memorandum to be operation and maintenance 
construction. The provision neither modifies current law 
regarding the use of operation and maintenance funds nor does 
it change the threshold amounts for operation and maintenance 
or unspecified minor construction. The provisions are not 
intended to, nor do they, hamstring the commanders in the field 
who need to execute projects quickly and efficiently. The 
conferees have been assured that the authorization committees 
will investigate this matter further and seek to amend the law 
to prevent future actions of this kind.
      Section 1902 provides the Secretary of the Army with 
authority to accept funds from the State of Utah to extend a 
runway at Michael Army Airfield, Dugway Proving Ground, Utah.

                               CHAPTER 10

                      DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

                        Maritime Administration

          MARITIME GUARANTEED LOAN (TITLE XI) PROGRAM ACCOUNT

      The conference agreement appropriates $25,000,000 instead 
of $50,000,000 as proposed by the Senate, for the cost of 
guaranteed loans under the Maritime Guaranteed Loan (title XI) 
program. As proposed by the Senate, such funds are to remain 
available until September 30, 2005. The House bill contained no 
similar appropriation. The bill specifies that none of these 
funds may be obligated until the House and Senate Committees on 
Appropriations receive a certification from the Department of 
Transportation Inspector General that the Maritime 
Administration has adopted and is implementing the 
recommendations of report #CR-2003-031 to his satisfaction. The 
Conferees further direct the Maritime Administration to submit 
a written report to the House and Senate Committees on 
Appropriations on the status of implementation of these 
recommendations no later than June 1, 2003. It is expected that 
the Maritime Administration will work closely with the 
Secretary of Defense to ensure that priority is given to 
vessels that not only provide commercial viability, but also 
exhibit military utility, such as tank vessels capable of 
transporting refined product as a business commodity and jet 
fuel in time of war or roll-on/roll-off vessels capable of 
carrying automobiles during peacetime and light military 
vehicles in time of armed conflict.

              DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE AND RELATED AGENCIES

                            RELATED AGENCIES

            Office of the United States Trade Representative

              EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES MUSIC LICENSING DISPUTE

      The conference agreement includes $3,300,000 for a one-
time only, lump-sum payment of the European Communities to 
cover a three-year period for nullification or impairment from 
Section 110(5) of the U.S. Copyright Act.

                         DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE

            National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration

               PROCUREMENT, ACQUISITION AND CONSTRUCTION

      The conference agreement includes $65,000,000 for the 
costs of weather satellite systems, including $41,000,000 or 
geostationary systems and $24,000,000 for polar orbiting

                            RELATED AGENCIES

                Equal Employment Opportunity Commission

                         SALARIES AND EXPENSES

      The conference agreement includes $15,000,000 for the 
salaries and expenses of the Equal Employment Opportunity 
Commission (EEOC) for fiscal year 2003. The conferees expect 
the EEOC to use these funds to avoid furloughs during fiscal 
year 2003. The EEOC may use funds provided to pursue employee 
buyouts, as authorized by Public Law 107-296.
      The conferees are concerned about the lack of sound 
managerial and fiscal practices that resulted in the EEOC's 
shortfall in fiscal year 2003. It is troubling that the 
Commission's shortfall was not uncovered until after a quarter 
of the fiscal year had transpired.
      The conferees direct the EEOC to submit quarterly reports 
to the Committees on Appropriations, including projected and 
actual spending and staffing levels. This information will 
allow the Committees to better understand EEOC's fluctuations 
in cost and staff. This data will also assist the EEOC in 
making more accurate estimates during the budget formulation 
process or, at a minimum, making adjustments to the budget 
request prior to the commencement of the fiscal year.

Commission, as described in the Senate report.

                    GENERAL PROVISION--THIS CHAPTER

      The conference agreement includes language amending a 
provision of law regarding fisheries capacity reduction 
programs, as proposed in the Senate bill.

                               CHAPTER 3

                  SUBCOMMITTEE ON DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA

                       DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA FUNDS

                           OPERATING EXPENSES

                          Division of Expenses

      On February 20, 2003, the District of Columbia announced 
additional fiscal year 2003 budget pressures totaling 
$128,000,000 resulting from $52,500,000 in lower estimated 
revenues and $75,500,000 in higher estimated operating costs. A 
revised outlook on March 10, 2003 increased the budget deficit 
to $133,567,000. On March 31, 2003, the Council of the District 
of Columbia enacted the Fiscal Year 2003 Supplemental Budget 
Request Emergency Act of 2003 to close this budget gap. This 
Chapter of the conference agreement provides the necessary 
Congressional action to balance the District's budget. The 
conferees expect the Chief Financial Officer of the District of 
Columbia to submit a final accounting of all actions taken to 
close the budget gap no later than May 5, 2003.

                   Governmental Direction and Support

                        (INCLUDING RESCISSIONS)

      The conferees rescind $8,752,000 from Governmental 
Direction and Support, instead of $9,358,000 as proposed by the 
Senate. Included in this amount is a rescission of $8,655,000 
from local funds and $97,000 from other funds. The House bill 
contained no similar provision. These funds are attributable to 
savings associated with the reduction in risk management 
functions within the Office of the Corporation Counsel, a 
District-wide hiring freeze, and a reduction of 
telecommunications costs and contractual obligation savings 
within various agencies.
      The conferees authorize the District to expend additional 
other-type revenues with the understanding that these funds 
will only be used for the purposes for which they are 
designated.

                  Economic Development and Regulation

                        (INCLUDING RESCISSIONS)

      The conferees provide a net increase of $13,428,000 for 
Economic Development and Regulation, instead of $14,998,000 as 
proposed by the Senate. Included in this amount are a 
rescission of $1,282,000 from local funds and an increase of 
$14,710,000 from other funds. The House bill contained no 
similar provision. The additional funds are attributable to 
increased costs associated with the Summer Youth Program, the 
Home Purchasing Assistance Program, the Multi-family 
Rehabilitation Program, the Relocation Program and Workers 
Compensation Fund, and the Public Charter School Revolving Fund 
and Credit Enhancement Fund. The rescission is attributable to 
reducing various Department of Housing and Community 
Development programs, the suspension of the Net 200 Partnership 
Program, and savings associated with a District-wide hiring 
freeze.
      The conferees authorize the District to expend additional 
other-type revenues with the understanding that these funds 
will only be used for the purpose for which they are 
designated.

                       Public Safety and Justice

      The conferees provide an increase of $11,462,000 in local 
funds for Public Safety and Justice instead of $10,422,000 as 
proposed by the Senate. The House bill contained no similar 
provision. These funds are attributable to increased costs 
associated with additional overtime for the Metropolitan Police 
Department, the Department of Corrections, and the Fire and 
Emergency Management Agency.

                        Public Education System

                        (INCLUDING RESCISSIONS)

      The Conferees rescind $11,435,000 from the Public 
Education System instead of $11,667,000 as proposed by the 
Senate. Included in this amount is a rescission of $13,546,000 
from local funds and an additional amount of $2,111,000 from 
other funds. The House bill contained no similar provision. 
This funding is to be distributed as follows: and increase of 
$2,029,000 for the District of Columbia Public Schools; a 
rescission of $181,000 from the State Education Office from 
savings attributable to a District-wide hiring freeze; a 
rescission of $12,000,000 from the District of Columbia Public 
Charter Schools from savings attributable to a lower than 
projected student enrollment; a rescission of $1,040,000 from 
the University of the District of Columbia from savings 
attributable to a District-wide hiring freeze; and a rescission 
of $237,000 from the District of Columbia Public Libraries and 
$6,000 from the Commission on the Arts and Humanities from 
savings attributable to reductions made in the Arts project 
program.
      The conferees do not include language proposed by the 
Senate to require that not less than $3,000,000 of the 
$12,000,000 rescinded from the District of Columbia Public 
Charter Schools be used for providing adequate charter school 
facilities and educational programming in public charter 
schools. The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The conferees authorize the District to expend additional 
other-type revenues with the understanding that these funds 
will only be used for the purposes for which they are 
designated.

                         Human Support Services

                         (INCLUDING RESCISSION)

      The conferees provide a net increase of $30,258,000 for 
Human Support Services instead of $28,278,000 as proposed by 
the Senate. Included in this amount are an additional amount of 
$34,292,000 from local funds and a rescission of $4,034,000 
from other funds. The House bill contained no similar 
provision. The additional funds are attributable to an increase 
in Health Care Safety Net medical claims, higher Medicaid costs 
at nursing facilities, a Medicaid shortfall for the Youth 
Service Administration and the Child and Family Services 
Agency, enhanced court order costs associated with the Mental 
Retardation and Developmental Disabilities Agency, unbudgeted 
costs associated with out-of-state tuition for foster care 
students, increased unemployment compensation funds, and a 
decrease of TANF surplus funds. The rescission is attributable 
to savings associated with a District-wide hiring freeze and a 
reduction of telecommunications costs and contractual 
obligation savings within various agencies.
      The conferees do not include language proposed by the 
Senate to amend the District of Columbia Appropriations Act, 
2003 to delete the earmark for the Interim Disability 
Assistance Fund. The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The conferees include language proposed by the Senate to 
amend the District of Columbia Appropriations Act, 2003 to 
increase the amount of local funds to be deposited in the 
Medicaid and Special Education Reform Fund from $37,500,000 to 
$74,500,000. The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The conferees authorize the District to expend additional 
other-type revenues with the understanding that these funds 
will only be used for the purposes for which they are 
designated.

                              Public Works

                         (INCLUDING RESCISSION)

      The conferees provide a net increase of $2,420,000 for 
Public Works instead of $3,107,000 as proposed by the Senate. 
Included in this amount are a rescission of $8,998,000 from 
local funds and an additional amount of $11,418,000 from other 
funds. The House bill contained no similar provision.
      The conferees include language proposed by the Senate to 
extend the availability of $512,000 from other funds for the 
taxicab revolving loan fund until expended. The House bill 
contained no similar provision.
      The conferees authorize the District to expend additional 
other-type revenues with the understanding that these funds 
will only be used for the purposes for which they are 
designated.

                    Repayment of Loans and Interest

                         (INCLUDING RESCISSION)

      The conferees rescind $2,466,000 from Repayment of Loans 
and Interest as proposed by the Senate. The House bill 
contained no similar provision.

                            Wilson Building

                         (INCLUDING RESCISSION)

      The conferees rescind $700,000 from the Wilson Building.

Investment as proposed by the Senate. The House bill contained

                        Non-Departmental Agency

                         (INCLUDING RESCISSION)

      The conferees rescind $5,799,000 from the Non-
Departmental Agency as proposed by the Senate. The House bill 
contained no similar provision.

                    GENERAL PROVISIONS, THIS CHAPTER

      Sec. 2301. The conferees include a modified Senate 
provision to allow the District of Columbia to use $12,081,000 
from funds identified in the fiscal year 2002 Comprehensive 
Annual Financial Report (CAFR) as the District's undesignated, 
unreserved fund balance to cover revenue shortfalls. The House 
bill contained no similar provision.
      The CAFR is a government-wide financial statement 
prepared by the Chief Financial Officer of the District of 
Columbia. At the close of fiscal year 2002, the total fund 
balance was $865,328,000. Of this total, $115,327,000 is 
unreserved, undesignated, and available for expenditure pending 
appropriation authority. The conferees provide authority to 
transfer $12,081,000 of these funds to the District of 
Columbia's operating budget to partially cover the $52,500,000 
reduction in revenues that is part of the $133,567,000 budget 
shortfall.
      The conferees note that of the total fund balance amount, 
$447,431,000 or 52 percent is restricted. These restricted 
funds may be expended only when established legal prerequisites 
have been met. It is within this restricted fund balance that 
the District maintains its congressionally-mandated seven 
percent emergency and contingency cash reserve of $248,731,000, 
established under section 450A of the District of Columbia Home 
Rule Act (Public Law 93-198). The conference agreement allows 
the District to transfer funds to address revenue shortfalls 
due to the economic downturn, but does not provide authority 
for the District to draw upon this restricted portion of the 
fund balance. Any funds expended from the emergency and 
contingency cash reserves must be replenished during fiscal 
year 2004.
      Sec. 2302. The conferees include a provision proposed by 
the Senate to extend the Chief Financial Officer's personnel, 
procurement, and preparation of fiscal impact statement 
authorities through September 30, 2004. The House bill 
contained no similar provision.
      Sec. 2303. The conferees include a provision to amend the 
District of Columbia Appropriations Act, 2003 to allow funds 
made available to the Friends of Fort Dupont to be used to 
support the Fort Dupont's Kids on Ice program. The House and 
Senate bills contained no similar provision.

                               CHAPTER 4

                       DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

                United States Fish and Wildlife Service

                    STATE AND TRIBAL WILDLIFE GRANTS

      The conference agreement includes a technical correction 
to the fiscal year 2003 appropriation for State and Tribal 
Wildlife Grants, correcting a reference to the amount to be 
deducted for competitive grants to Tribes prior to the 
distribution of the remaining grant funds. The House and Senate 
proposed identical language.

                         National Park Service

                 OPERATION OF THE NATIONAL PARK SYSTEM

      The conference agreement corrects the amount provided for 
the Operation of the National Park System in fiscal year 2003 
as proposed by the Senate. The agreement adds $9,000,000 for 
park operations to reflect accurately the fiscal year 2003 
conference agreement for this account.

                        Bureau of Indian Affairs

                              CONSTRUCTION

      The conference agreement provides for the release of 
previously appropriated funds for construction of the Ojibwa 
Indian School in North Dakota as proposed by the Senate. The 
House had no similar provision.

                    GENERAL PROVISION, THIS CHAPTER

      Sec. 2401. The conference agreement, as proposed by the 
Senate, modifies section 328 of the Interior and Related 
Agencies Appropriations Act, 2003, dealing with the processing 
of grazing permits by the Forest Service. The House had no 
similar provision.
      The managers are concerned that an ambiguity may exist 
with respect to Section 328 of Division F of Public Law 108-7 
concerning grazing permits issued by the Forest Service. This 
ambiguity may lead to court decisions that are not consistent 
with Congressional intent. The intent of Section 328, among 
other things, was that no grazing permit should be invalidated 
because the Forest Service had not completed the allotment 
analysis prior to the date listed in a 1996 Forest Service 
schedule adopted by the agency pursuant to Section 504 of the 
Recissions Act. Accordingly, this section has been included to 
remove the clause, ``. . . under the authority of Section 504 
of the Rescissions Act of 1995 (Public Law 104-19)'' from 
Section 328. The managers reiterate that any Forest Service 
grazing permit issued to replace a permit that expired after 
the date for analysis of the allotment in the 1996 schedule is 
valid even though the allotment analysis may not have been 
completed by the due date in the 1996 schedule.
      This section does not exempt the Forest Service from 
completing the environmental analysis of grazing allotments on 
the 1996 Schedule. It simply allows for the continuation of 
ongoing grazing activities while the required environmental 
analysis is completed. The managers emphasize that this 
provision does not prevent the Forest Service from taking 
appropriate action consistent with agency policies and 
procedures to address violations of permit terms and 
conditions.
      The conference agreement does not require the Secretary 
of the Interior to report on her intentions with respect to the 
sale of 983 acres in Clark County, Nevada as proposed by the 
Senate.
      The conference agreement does not extend the 
authorization for energy savings performance contracting as 
proposed by the Senate in section 602 of title VI.

                               CHAPTER 5

                          DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

                 Employment and Training Administration

                    TRAINING AND EMPLOYMENT SERVICES

      The conference agreement does not include language as 
proposed by the Senate providing $1,000,000 for the Jobs for 
America's Graduates program. The House bill did not have a 
similar provision.

                DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

              Health Resources and Services Administration

                     HEALTH RESOURCES AND SERVICES

      The conference agreement includes Senate bill language 
making technical corrections to projects funded in the fiscal 
year 2003 appropriations act. The House bill included almost 
identical language. In addition to the technical corrections 
described in the House and Senate reports accompanying the 
supplemental appropriations bill, the conferees also include 
the following technical changes to the statement of the 
managers of the committee of conference accompanying H.J. Res. 
2 (Public Law 108-7; House Report 108-10) in the matter in 
title II of Division G:
      --the provision specifying Northwestern Medical Center, 
St. Albans, Vermont shall be deemed to read as follows: 
``Missisquoi Valley Union High School District, Swanton, 
Vermont'';
      --the provision specifying Springfield Regional 
Outpatient Cancer Center shall be deemed to read as follows: 
``Mercy Health Partners, Springfield, Ohio'';
      --the provision specifying St. John Bosco Clinic, Miami, 
Florida shall be deemed to read as follows: ``Mercy Hospital, 
Miami, Florida'';
      --the provision specifying Oklahoma State Department of 
Health, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, for a Mississippi-Oklahoma 
Rural Telemedicine Initiative shall be deemed to read as 
follows: ``Oklahoma State Office of Rural Health''; and
      --the provision specifying Iowa Telecare Consortium to 
develop a disease management demonstration project in Iowa 
shall be deemed to read as follows: ``Iowa Chronic Care 
Consortium to develop a disease management demonstration 
project in Iowa''.
      The conferees concur in the description in the Senate 
report of the grant for the Children's Hospital Central 
California as being in Madera, CA rather than in Fresno, CA as 
described in the House report.
      The conferees intend that the amounts provided will still 
be subject to the across the board cut of 0.65 percent included 
in Public Law 108-7.

proposed by the House. The Senate bill included no similar 
provision.
      Section 2502 of the conference agreement includes a 
provision making a technical correction to language in Section 
215 in title II of the Departments of Labor, Health and Human 
Services, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2003 (Public 
Law 108-7, div. G) regarding international health activities as 
proposed by the House and Senate.

technical corrections to the Math and Science Partnerships

Education program. The House bill contained no similar 
provision.

stability problems at Waterbury Dam for fiscal year 2004.

                TITLE III--COLUMBIA ORBITER MEMORIAL ACT

                    DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

                 Transportation Security Administration

      The conference agreement includes an appropriation of 
$2,395,750,000 for grants to air carriers. Of this 
appropriation, the first $100,000,000 shall remain available 
until expended and shall compensate air carriers for the direct 
costs associated with the strengthening of flight deck doors 
and locks on aircraft required by the Aviation and 
Transportation Security Act. The remaining amount, or 
$2,295,750,000, is for grants to be made by the Transportation 
Security Administration to U.S. flag air carriers based on the 
proportional share of expenses incurred related to aviation 
security each such carrier has paid or collected by the date of 
enactment of this Act by such air carrier in passenger security 
and air carrier security fees to the Transportation Security 
Administration. Air carriers may use these funds for such 
purposes as each air carrier determines appropriate; however, 
the conferees intend that the direct assistance to air carriers 
made available under this heading should be expended, to the 
greatest extent possible, to address aviation security and 
should not be used to support non-security related business 
entities, ventures or activities including, but not limited to, 
ticket agent ventures.
      The Transportation Security Administration may not remit 
passenger security and air carrier security fees to any airline 
providing compensation as defined in this Act to the two most 
highly compensated named executive officers that exceeds the 
base compensation that such executives received in 2002. The 
Transportation Security Administration shall not apply any 
conditions of receiving such assistance to any air carrier that 
operates aircraft exclusively with 85 seats or less, any 
Hawaii-based carrier or any carrier that does not operate 
trans-Pacific or trans-Atlantic flights.
      Not later than thirty days after the last disbursement of 
funds made to airlines, the Transportation Security 
Administration shall certify that such funds were allocated by 
air carriers for security related expenses or revenue forgone 
as a result of meeting Federal security mandates and shall 
transmit such certification to the Senate Committee on 
Appropriations, the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and 
Transportation, the House of Representatives Committee on 
Appropriations and the House Committee on Transportation and 
Infrastructure.
      The conference agreement includes a provision that 
directs the Undersecretary for Border and Transportation 
Security of the Department of Homeland Security not to impose 
the fees authorized by section 44940(a) of title 49, U.S.C., 
during the period beginning June 1, 2003 ending September 30, 
2003.
      Though the Senate bill proposed appropriations to 
compensate airports for operating expenses and capital 
investments related to improvements in aviation security, the 
conferees have addressed this item in Title I, under Department 
of Homeland Security.
      The conferees not that the additional burden placed upon 
the Transportation Security Administration in administering 
these grants is nominal and of limited duration since these 
payments constitute simple rebates. As such, the conferees 
direct that the administrative costs associated with this 
activity to be absorbed within existing staffing levels.
      The conference agreement deletes sections 407 and 408 of 
the Senate bill. The House bill contained no similar 
provisions. The conferees direct the General Accounting Office 
to submit a report to the Congress on measures taken by air 
carriers to reduce costs and to improve their revenues and 
profits and to strengthen their balance sheets, as well as how 
the funds provided in this Act were expended by the air 
carriers to offset operating expenses. As part of this effort, 
the conferees expect that each carrier receiving assistance 
under this heading will transmit a plan to the Comptroller 
General within 90 days of enactment of this Act to reduce that 
air carrier's annual operating expenses by an amount equal to 
the greater of 10 percent of that carrier's annual operating 
expenses or the amount of financial assistance that the carrier 
has received under this heading.
      The conference agreement extends the war risk insurance 
program under current conditions through the end of fiscal year 
2004 as proposed by the Senate. The House bill contained no 
similar provision.
      The conference agreement contains a provision providing 
an additional 26 weeks of temporary extended unemployment. 
compensation for displaced airline related workers, as proposed 
by the Senate. The House bill contained no similar provision.

proposed by the Senate, which establishes a panel to review 
sexual misconduct allegations at the U.S. Air Force Academy.

                 TITLE VI--GENERAL PROVISIONS--THIS ACT

      The conference agreement includes a provision, as 
proposed by the House, that limits the availability of funds 
provided in this Act to the current fiscal year unless provided 
otherwise in this Act. The Senate bill contained no similar 
provision.
