FUNDING WITHHOLDS

The Committee remains concerned with the department-wide
practice of withholding appropriated funds as a mechanism for
providing flexibility in managing the procurement and research
and development accounts. As requested in the conference report
to the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2004, the
conferees requested that the General Accounting Office [GAO]
initiate a review of the Department's practices with regard to
withholds. GAO determined that funds are withheld to fund
laboratory overhead costs, redirected to other programs for
emerging requirements, and, in some cases, used to initiate new
start programs without the notification or approval of
Congress. It appears that the Department has limited oversight
and no standardized Departmental policy for managing withholds
and that the Services' have limited visibility into how
withholds are assessed and managed at lower echelon commands.
In addition, the preliminary GAO findings indicate that
statutory withhold such as Small Business Innovative Research
are not uniformly applied to all programs.
The Committee is greatly concerned by evidence indicating
that program managers within the Department routinely inflate
budget estimates in anticipation of incurring withholds during
the year of execution. This practice by the Department obscures
the actual cost of programs and diminishes the Committee's
ability to fulfill its oversight responsibility.
The Committee is also aware of the Departmental practice
that allows programs to ``borrow'' funds from one another with
the understanding that they will be reimbursed in future years.
The Committee has found several examples where funding requests
to the Congress were purposefully inflated to cover outstanding
reimbursements owed to other programs, the most egregious of
which is where the budget request in its entirety is sought for
this purpose.
In order to provide greater oversight and compliance with
congressional intent, the Committee directs that statutory
withholds such as those for Small Business Innovative Research
shall be applied uniformly to each program element, project and
activity within an account. The Committee further directs that
funds shall not be withheld from congressional interest items
to pay for service laboratory overhead. Finally, the Committee
directs that funds shall not be budgeted for non-statutory
withholds, nor shall funds be budgeted within a program or
activity for reimbursement to other programs as a repayment for
funds transferred to a program in a prior fiscal year.
With regard to new start programs, the Committee finds that
the Department is not abiding by section 8103 of Public Law
108-87 that prohibits the use of funds provided to initiate a
new start program without notification of the congressional
defense committees. The Committee reminds the Department and
its officers that a violation of this section is a violation of
section 1341 of title 31, United States Code, a provision of
law formerly known as the Antideficiency Act. Anyone who
violates that law is subject to criminal penalties; violations
of all associated provisions of law require investigation and
reporting to Congress. The Committee recommends strengthening
the provision to now require written notification 30 days prior
to the initiation of any new start program and expects the
Department to strictly adhere to the provision.

TITLE I

MILITARY PERSONNEL

Funds appropriated under this title provide the resources
required for basic pay, retired pay accrual, Medicare eligible
retiree health care accrual, employer's contribution for Social
Security taxes, basic allowance for housing, basic allowance
for subsistence, special and incentive pays, permanent change
of station travel, and other personnel costs for uniformed
members of the Armed Forces.
The President's fiscal year 2005 budget requests a total of
$104,811,558,000 for military personnel appropriations. This
request funds an Active component end strength of 1,383,000 and
a Reserve component end strength of 860,900.

SUMMARY OF COMMITTEE ACTION

The Committee recommends military personnel appropriations
totaling $103,869,413,000 for fiscal year 2005. This is
$942,145,000 below the budget estimate.
The Committee recommends funding an Active component end
strength of 1,403,000 for fiscal year 2005, an increase of
20,000 above the budget estimate. The Committee recommends
funding a Reserve component end strength of 860,900 for fiscal
year 2005, the same as the budget estimate.
Committee recommended military personnel appropriations for
fiscal year 2005 are summarized below:

Military Personnel Overview

The Committee notes that the fiscal year 2005 budget
estimate represents a significant increase in the military
personnel accounts. The fiscal year 2005 military personnel
budget estimate is $5,867,293,000 above the fiscal year 2004
estimate. Major initiatives include:
Across-the-Board Pay Raise.--The budget estimate proposes
and the Senate reported version of the fiscal year 2005
National Defense Authorization Bill authorizes a 3.5 percent
across-the-board pay raise for military personnel. The
Committee supports this pay raise.
Reduced Out-of-Pocket Housing Costs.--The budget estimate
includes funds to eliminate the out-of-pocket housing cost for
military members. The increase in Basic Allowance for Housing
funding reduces a service member's average out-of-pocket
housing expense from the current 3.5 percent to zero in fiscal
year 2005. The Committee supports the requested funding which
should eliminate the average out-of-pocket expense by the end
of fiscal year 2005.
Active Component End Strength.--The Committee supports the
President's budget request for a decrease of 7,900 to Navy
active end strength and an increase of 400 to Air Force active
end strength. In addition, the Committee recommends an increase
of 20,000 to Army end strength as authorized in S. 2400, the
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2005.
Consistent with this legislation, the Committee provides
funding for additional Army end strength in a contingent
emergency reserve fund under Title IX of this bill.
Reserve Component End Strength.--The Committee supports the
President's budget request for a decrease of 2,500 to Navy
Reserve end strength, an increase of 300 to Air Force Reserve
end strength, and a decrease of 230 to Air National Guard end
strength.

PERMANENT CHANGE OF STATION [PCS] FUNDING

The Navy and Marine Corps budget estimates include
$835,050,000 and $337,858,000, respectively, for Permanent
Change of Station [PCS] funding. Collectively, this is
$150,553,000, or 14.7 percent, above amounts provided in the
fiscal year 2004 Defense Appropriations Act (Public Law 108-
87). In contrast, the Army and Air Force request modest PCS
funding increases of 3.4 and 1.2 percent, respectively. The
Committee considers the PCS cost growth in the Navy and Marine
Corps accounts excessive and recommends a 3.5 percent increase.
As a result, the Committee reduces the Navy request by
$86,636,000 and the Marine Corps request by $28,134,000.

SELECTIVE REENLISTMENT BONUSES

On April 30, 2004, the Air Force cut the number of
specialty codes eligible for selective reenlistment bonuses
from 146 to 62. The Air Force implemented these reductions in
an effort to lower its manning level which is more than 20,000
above authorized end strength. The initiative is expected to
reduce the fiscal year 2005 selective reenlistment bonus
funding requirement for the Air Force by $82,000,000. The
Committee, therefore, reduces the budget request by this
amount.
The Navy request includes $362,486,000 for selective
reenlistments bonuses in fiscal year 2005. This estimate
includes 356 more initial selective reenlistment bonus payments
than were provided to sailors in fiscal year 2004. The
Committee considers the proposed selective reenlistment bonus
growth in this account unnecessary when overall retention rates
are high, other pay and benefits for sailors are increasing
overall, and the Navy plans to reduce its manpower by 7,900
personnel in fiscal year 2005. As a result, the Committee
reduces the Navy request by $12,000,000.

UNEXPENDED BALANCES

As part of an annual budget review, the General Accounting
Office [GAO] identifies prior year unobligated and unexpended
funds in the ``Military Personnel'' accounts. Over the past
several years, this review has demonstrated a pattern by the
Services' of underspending their military personnel
appropriations. As a result, GAO believes the fiscal year 2005
budget request is overstated. The Committee, therefore,
recommends a reduction of $375,000,000 to the budget estimate,
distributed as follows:

Total adjustments................................ -375,000
------------------------------------------------------------------------

AIR FORCE END STRENGTH

The Committee is deeply concerned the Air Force is more
than 20,000 personnel above authorized end strength. In
comparison, the Army and Marine Corps are over authorized end
strength by 13,000 and 600, respectively. While encouraged by
steps the Air Force is taking to reduce manpower, the Committee
considers it necessary that the Air Force implement an
expeditious and responsible plan to return to authorized end
strength by the end of fiscal year 2005. To continue funding
this additional manpower in future supplemental requests is not
a fair investment for the American taxpayer when major
investments are needed to sustain ground operations in Iraq,
Afghanistan, and other areas around the world. The Committee,
therefore, directs the Secretary of the Air Force to submit a
detailed plan, which includes timelines and goals, for how the
service will return to authorized strength by the end of fiscal
year 2005. This plan is to be submitted to the congressional
defense committees no later than October 15, 2004.

MEDICAL/DENTAL CARE AND DISABILITY BENEFITS FOR CADETS AND MIDSHIPMEN

The Committee supports enhanced benefits for cadets and
midshipmen at the services academies, as included in S. 2400,
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2005. If
this provision is enacted, the Committee directs the Department
to fund the enhanced medical and dental care and disability
benefits within amounts provided in this bill.

NATO MISSION SUPPORT COSTS

The budget estimate includes funds to support a full fiscal
year of NATO peacekeeping efforts in Bosnia. This mission and
current operations, however, are expected to be complete by
December 2004. At that time, NATO Forces will be replaced by a
police force under European Union [EU] control. Due to this
planned mission transfer, the Committee revises the budget
estimates for military personnel and operation and maintenance
to reflect end of operations by December 2004.

Reduced Accessions.--In an effort to reduce manpower, the
Air Force plans to cut the number of accessions in fiscal year
2005 by 11,000 people. As a result, approximately 24,000 new
recruits will join the Air Force in fiscal year 2005 rather
than 35,600 as planned in the budget estimate. Based on
analysis conducted by the General Accounting Office [GAO], this
action will result in significant cost avoidance savings in the
Air Force military personnel budget. The Committee, therefore,
reduces the Air Force's budget request by $95,500,000.

Industrial Mobilization Capacity.--The Committee recognizes
the critical importance of the Industrial Mobilization Capacity
program for offsetting costs of maintaining wartime
capabilities at Department of Defense facilities and for
ensuring that facilities such as the Rock Island Arsenal, IL
remain competitive. The Committee has included an additional
$6,500,000 for this program--$14,400,000 total--and expects
that all fiscal year 2005 Industrial Mobilization Capacity
funding shall be used only for this purpose.
World War I Chemical Munitions Cleanup.--The Committee is
aware of a significant health hazard at the American University
resulting from Army munitions development and testing during
World War I. While the Army recognizes its responsibility to
restore the site and remove all chemicals, it has been slow to
respond to this requirement. The potential danger to University
students and employees mandate an immediate response to this
hazard. The Committee urges the Army to expedite this clean up
effort with a goal of completing its removal effort by December
2005.

Naval Shipyard Apprentice Program.--The Committee has
included $31,000,000 for the Shipyard Apprentice Program, and
directs the Navy to induct classes of no fewer than 150
apprentices at each of the naval shipyards during fiscal year
2005. Further, the Committee directs the Navy to include the
costs of the fiscal year 2006 class of apprentices in the
fiscal year 2006 budget estimate.
U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps.--The Committee recommends
$2,000,000 for the U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps [USNSCC], a non-
profit youth training and education organization. For several
years, the Congress has provided funding for this program,
which was federally chartered by Congress in 1962 (Public Law
87-655). A Department of the Navy report found that the Navy
benefits from the USNSCC program in many ways, and stated ``the
Naval Sea Cadet Corps brings the Navy and its core values of
honor, courage, and commitment into homes throughout America.''
The Committee directs the Secretary of the Navy to fund the
USNSCC program in the fiscal year 2006 budget request.
Navy Installations.--The Committee was disappointed to
learn recently of the Commander, Navy Installations [CNI] plan
to reduce funding for fiscal year 2004 by approximately
$300,000,000 to cover other Navy requirements. It was
disturbing to discover that these reductions are not being
allocated fairly. Some smaller regions are asked to forego a
significantly larger percentage of their base operations
support [BOS] and sustainment, restoration and maintenance
funds [SRM] than are the larger regions. In one case, CNI's
direction has the effect of negating congressional guidance to
increase SRM for specific locations. The Committee urges CNI to
restore SRM funds to those areas.
The Committee has also been informed that the fiscal year
2005 budget request for CNI assumes substantial savings which
are not likely to accrue, leaving several regions no choice but
to implement general reductions. Critics of the CNI concept
warned that a large centralized account would be a logical
target to finance other Navy activities. Additionally, they
argued that Washington based headquarters for CNI would likely
provide an east coast bias. Based on CNI's current plans it
appears they were right. In the past, the Committee has
reallocated Army SRM funding because of similar failings, but
is hopeful that the same action will not be required here. As
such, the Committee directs the Navy to reexamine its plans for
CNI funding for fiscal year 2004 and fiscal year 2005. If the
Navy does not address these issues in the coming weeks, the
Committee will consider the management and funding distribution
of CNI in conference.
Joint Center for Operational Analysis.--The Committee
supports U.S. Joint Forces Command's initiative to enhance
lessons learned capabilities through increased team missions
and deployment. The goal is to capture lessons learned of
ongoing operations in Iraq as well as the Global War on
Terrorism. Accordingly, the Committee recommends that of the
funds under this heading, $7,000,000 be provided for this
initiative.

Pad Encryption Technology.--The Committee recognizes the
merits of commercially available off the shelf one-time pad
encryption technology and encourages the Air Force to explore
its use. The Committee understands this technology could be
utilized for the protection of highly sensitive special access
programs and could allow for communication of such data using
commercial networks.
Scott Air Force Base.--The fiscal year 2004 Department of
Defense Appropriations conference report (Public Law 108-87)
included funding to continue the C-9A mission flown by the
932nd Airlift Wing at Scott Air Force Base, Illinois, and
training for new mission requirements, including the C-40C
aircraft. The Air Force has indicated it plans to move three C-
9C aircraft from Andrews Air Force Base, Maryland to be based
at Scott Air Force Base in fiscal year 2005. The Committee
supports the current C-9A mission as well as the transfer of
the C-9C aircraft to Scott Air Force Base. The Committee
encourages the Secretary of the Air Force to continue, at
least, the 932nd Airlift Wing C-9 mission, and to expand the
current mission to include C-40C aircraft after the appropriate
review and subject to the availability of funds.

Corrosion Control.--The Committee has reviewed the
Department of Defense long-term strategy on corrosion control,
and understands that DOD has established an Office of Corrosion
Policy and Oversight [CPO] for focused management attention on
this issue. In addition, the Committee is aware that a General
Accounting Office assessment of the adequacy of DOD's corrosion
control strategy has identified a number of shortcomings that
threaten the effectiveness of that strategy. One of the
identified shortcomings is a lack of dedicated and visible
funding. Accordingly, the Committee directs the Department to
establish a specific, separate program element or budget line
to ensure that sustained and adequate funding is available for
the corrosion control projects that have the best potential to
provide maximum benefit across the DOD.
In addition, the Committee is aware that the Defense
Science Board has determined that substantial costs could be
avoided with additional corrosion prevention and changes in DOD
acquisition policy. The Committee encourages DOD to make the
up-front investments necessary to realize these future cost
savings.
Finally, the Committee is concerned about the potential for
corrosion damage to pre-positioned stocks, which are frequently
located in highly-corrosive environments. Such corrosion could
degrade readiness to respond to contingencies and be very
costly to fix. The Committee encourages the DOD Inspector
General to conduct a review of the impact of corrosion on pre-
position assets, and recommend policy, management or funding
changes to mitigate that corrosion.
Hooked-on-Fishing/Not-on-Drugs Pilot Program.--The
Committee recognizes that the current operational tempo is
placing significant stress on the families of military
personnel. Installation commanders can help alleviate the
stressors of service life in today's environment by
facilitating family oriented activities. Fishing is a family
oriented outdoor experience that serves as a structured and
focused activity for military dependents. The Committee directs
the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness to
consult with the Future Fisherman Foundation and the Armed
Forces Foundation on the implementation of a Hooked-on-Fishing/
Not on Drugs pilot program at 20 U.S. military installations
with the highest rate of mobilized personnel. The Committee
further directs the Department to submit a report to the
congressional defense committees no later than January 31, 2005
on the current status of this pilot program and the feasibility
of establishing such a program at additional installations in
the future.
Legacy Resource Management Program.--The Committee commends
the Department of Defense for requesting funds to continue the
Legacy Resource Management Program. From within these funds,
the Committee encourages the Department to continue naval
archaeology programs in the Lake Champlain Basin.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

The Committee has displayed recommended adjustments in
tables presented under each appropriation account.
These adjustments reflect the following Committee actions:
elimination of funds requested for programs which are lower
priority, duplicative, or not supported by firm requirements in
out year development or procurement appropriations; deletion of
excess funds based on program delays or slow execution;
addition of funds to reflect congressional priorities and to
rectify shortfalls in the budget estimate; and implementation
of recommendations reported in the Senate bill authorizing
activities of the Department of Defense for fiscal year 2005.
The Committee directs that the funding increases outlined
in these tables shall be provided only for the specific
purposes indicated in the table.

Procurement Overview

Role of Small Businesses.--The Committee is concerned that
the continuous downsizing and consolidation of the U.S. defense
industry has reduced the number of qualified sources,
especially small businesses, for the manufacture of aviation/
air ground components, such as cable/wiring harness assembly.
The Committee urges the Department to make every effort to
identify and use these qualified small business sources to meet
the small business goals as set out in 10 U.S.C. 2323 and DFARS
Part 219.

Aircraft Procurement, Army

Appropriations, 2004.................................... $2,154,035,000
Budget estimate, 2005................................... 2,658,241,000
Committee recommendation................................ 2,653,241,000

The Committee recommends an appropriation of
$2,653,241,000. This is $5,000,000 below the budget estimate.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED PROGRAM

The following table summarizes the budget estimate for this
appropriation, the Committee recommendation, and the Committee
recommended adjustments to the budget estimate:

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED ADJUSTMENTS

The following table details the adjustments recommended by
the Committee:

During February of this year, the Department of Defense
accepted the Army's recommendation to cease further development
of the Comanche helicopter program. In March, the
administration submitted a budget amendment recommending the
reallocation of funds originally requested for the Comanche
program.
The Committee commends the Army leadership for arriving at
the decision to terminate Comanche in a deliberate, responsible
manner. Unfortunately, the budget justification and request to
realign funding originally intended for Comanche has not been
addressed in a similar manner. In fact, during the Committee's
budget review, the Army proved unable to explain, justify, and
at times identify acquisition plans, and required costs for
items contained within the request. In the case of several
programs [Light Utility Helicopter, Armed Reconnaissance
Helicopter, Apache Block III] Army acquisition plans have yet
to be approved, respectively, by the Army leadership, Secretary
of Defense or Joint Requirements Oversight Council. Some of
these programs may or may not be subject to competitive
bidding, and are being developed based on a request for
information to potential suppliers.
The Committee remains supportive of the Army's efforts to
deliberately improve its aviation combat power. Although
supportive of the Army's efforts to achieve task organization,
the Committee has not received sufficient information to
endorse the budget request.
Kiowa Warrior Replacement.--The budget request included
$24,000,000 for the procurement of an armed reconnaissance
helicopter. In selecting a replacement helicopter for the Kiowa
Warrior, the Army has not conducted an Analysis of
Alternatives. The requirements and key performance parameters
for an armed reconnaissance helicopter have not been identified
to the Committee. The Army failed to provide any supporting
budget justification materials, and has yet to approve an
acquisition strategy for this program. The Committee recommends
that funds available for procurement of an armed reconnaissance
helicopter shall only be available 30 days after the Army has
delivered to the Committee an acquisition plan and strategy for
this system.
Light Utility Helicopter.--The budget request included a
total of $45,000,000 for procurement of light utility
helicopters ($30,000,000 for the procurement of 10 helicopters,
and $15,000,000 for support costs). The Department of Defense
has yet to approve an acquisition strategy for the procurement
of light utility helicopters [LUH], and has not conducted an
Analysis of Alternatives. The Army has not provided the
Committee any justification materials identifying the platforms
to be considered or any planned competition for the LUH. The
Committee recommends that funds available for procurement of
the LUH shall only be available 30 days after the Army has
delivered to the Committee an acquisition plan and strategy for
this system.
CH-47 Helicopter.--The amended budget request funds both
remanufacture and new procurement of CH-47 helicopters. As the
remanufacturing and production lines have matured,
manufacturing efficiencies identified by the contractor have
yielded cost savings for these respective programs. The amended
budget request includes funding of $727,300,000 for CH-47
procurement, an increase of $215,900,000 above fiscal year 2004
levels. Due to current manufacturing efficiencies and the
economies of scale to be expected from a funding increase of
over 40 percent, the Committee recommends a decrease of
$25,000,000.
Vibration Management Enhancement Program.--Funding was not
included in the budget request for continuation of the
Vibration Management Enhancement Program [VMEP]. The Committee
supports this program for enhanced aircrew safety, improved
aircraft maintenance, and reduced operation costs and
encourages the Army to transition this capability to the AH-64A
and AH-64D Longbow helicopter.

Missile Procurement, Army

Appropriations, 2004.................................... $1,505,462,000
Budget estimate, 2005................................... 1,398,321,000
Committee recommendation................................ 1,378,321,000

The Committee recommends an appropriation of
$1,378,321,000. This is $20,000,000 below the budget estimate.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED PROGRAM

The following table summarizes the budget estimate for this
appropriation, the Committee recommendation, and the Committee
recommended adjustments to the budget estimate:

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED ADJUSTMENTS

The following table details the adjustments recommended by
the Committee:

Hellfire Missile.--The Army budget amendment requested
$92,900,000 to procure additional Hellfire II laser guided
missiles. However, based on emerging requirements in Iraq the
Army has requested flexibility in the variant to be procured.
The Committee recommends granting the requested funding and
flexibility for the Army to procure up to 1,135 missiles of any
Hellfire II warhead variety.

Procurement of Weapons and Tracked Combat Vehicles, Army

Appropriations, 2004.................................... $1,857,054,000
Budget estimate, 2005................................... 1,639,695,000
Committee recommendation................................ 1,698,695,000

The Committee recommends an appropriation of
$1,698,695,000. This is $59,000,000 above the budget estimate.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED PROGRAM

The following table summarizes the budget estimate for this
appropriation, the Committee recommendation, and the Committee
recommended adjustments to the budget estimate:

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED ADJUSTMENTS

The following table details the adjustments recommended by
the Committee:

M-113A2/A3 Armoring Initiative.--The Committee is
encouraged by the success of armored kits for combat vehicles
in the Iraqi theater of operations and encourages the Army to
pursue the use of this technology on other vehicles, such as
the M-113 Armored Personnel Carrier. There are well over 1,000
excess Bradley Fighting Vehicles that have armor that could be
used for armor kits for M-113s that would increase the M-113
protection to a level greater than that of a Bradley. The
Committee understands that these kits could be modified in
CONUS at a minimum rate of 50 sets per week and then shipped to
deployed units and installed in the field in several hours per
set. This would be a low cost solution with existing armor
sets. The Committee supports any efforts by the Army to assess
this option for both deployed and deploying troops.

Procurement of Ammunition, Army

Appropriations, 2004.................................... $1,387,759,000
Budget estimate, 2005................................... 1,556,902,000
Committee recommendation................................ 1,606,502,000

The Committee recommends an appropriation of
$1,606,502,000. This is $49,600,000 above the budget estimate.

committee recommended program

The following table summarizes the budget estimate for this
appropriation, the Committee recommendation, and the Committee
recommended adjustments to the budget estimate:

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED ADJUSTMENTS

The following table details the adjustments recommended by
the Committee:

Hydrolysis Demilitarization Demonstration Program.--The
Committee is encouraged by the progress of the Hydrolysis
Demilitarization Demonstration Program and recommends an
increase of $7,600,000 to build a production prototype
hydrolysis demilitarization unit for testing and operations at
Tooele Army Depot.
Small Caliber Ammunition Production Upgrades.--The Global
War on Terrorism has increased demand for small caliber
ammunition and has strained U.S. production capabilities. In
addition, recent changes in Army training doctrine place even
further demands on this production capability. The Defense
Department cannot meet small caliber ammunition needs unless
existing capabilities are upgraded and additional capabilities
are added. The Committee, therefore, recommends an increase of
$15,000,000 to modernize small caliber production lines at Lake
City Army Ammunition Plant.
Demilitarization of Tactical Missiles.--The Committee
recommends an increase of $3,000,000 to complete the
implementation of an organic missile recycling capability at
the Anniston Munitions Center.

Other Procurement, Army

Appropriations, 2004.................................... $4,774,452,000
Budget estimate, 2005................................... 4,240,896,000
Committee recommendation................................ 4,685,846,000

The Committee recommends an appropriation of
$4,685,846,000. This is $444,950,000 above the budget estimate.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED ADJUSTMENTS

The following table details the adjustments recommended by
the Committee:

Joint Tactical Radio System [JTRS].--It is currently the
policy of the Department of Defense that any radio purchased
including those necessary to go to war, will require a JTRS
waiver. The continued enforcement of this policy, in the
absence of any JTRS solutions, has made it very difficult for
commanders to appropriately equip deploying units with
essential communications in a timely manner. The Committee
believes that the JTRS waiver process adds a significant and
unnecessary burden to the purchase of urgently required mission
equipment.
While the Committee understands the rationale for issuing a
blanket policy with regard to JTRS communications equipment,
the Committee notes the bottleneck that this policy has caused.
Therefore, the Committee directs the Assistant Secretary of
Defense for Networks and Information Integration to report back
to the congressional defense committees no later than January
3, 2005 on a new plan which establishes and describes a process
which allows the rapid fielding of radios, terminals, or other
communications systems which are not JTRS compliant. Further,
this report should address the option of suspending the JTRS
waiver process until JTRS solutions are available for fielding.
Additionally, the Committee is concerned that the Joint
Tactical Radio System program support costs have been assigned
to several different accounts within the Army, and in doing so
have escalated to an excessive level. Therefore, the Committee
recommends a reduction of $10,000,000 from the procurement line
due to excessive management costs.
SINCGARS Power Alternatives.--The wide scale use of
SINCGARS communications platforms has created a significant
power supply problem for deployed units in both Iraq and
Afghanistan. The dependence of SINCGARS radios on battery power
has resulted in tremendous operational costs as a result of
constantly replacing disposable batteries and corresponding
battery shortages.
The Committee is aware of low cost, lightweight AC power
supplies for SINCGARS that have been purchased by various units
in the field to address this systemic problem. The Committee
recommends that the Secretary of the Army conduct a
comprehensive review of the costs associated with an over
reliance on batteries and whether or not the Army would be
better served by supplementing units using SINCGARS with AC
power supply solutions to reduce battery usage and increase
SINCGARS availability.
Maintenance Support Device.--The Committee is concerned by
recent decisions made by the Army to terminate funding for the
Maintenance Support Device, which is a vital Test Measurement
Diagnostic Equipment [TMDE] asset providing a comprehensive
maintenance and diagnostic system to our warfighters and
maintainers in the field. This action could have a
substantially negative impact on force readiness.
Calibration Sets Equipment Modernization.--The Committee
notes, with concern, that the President's budget request
contains no funding for Calibration Sets [CALSETS], and that
the Army has not completed the procurement and fielding of
CALSETS. The Committee further notes that this decision places
a particular burden on the Guard and Reserve forces, and given
the increased reliance on the Army Total Force to support
worldwide contingency operations, it is imperative that these
critical assets be available across the entire force for both
training and deployment. The Committee directs the Army to
report back to the congressional defense committees no later
than January 3, 2005 on the Army plan to ensure that there are
adequate resources to continue fielding this equipment across
the Army Total Force.

Aircraft Procurement, Navy

Appropriations, 2004.................................... $9,110,848,000
Budget estimate, 2005................................... 8,767,867,000

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED ADJUSTMENTS

The following table details the adjustments recommended by
the Committee:

Phalanx Close-In Weapons System [CIWS].--The Committee
recommends an increase of $20,000,000 for procurement of CIWS
Block 1B upgrade kits. The Committee is concerned that the Navy
significantly reduced its procurement request for CIWS in
fiscal year 2005 and changed the installation plans for the
system. The Committee is concerned that the revised
installation plans will only partially outfit ships with the
Block 1B upgrade, that is, not upgrade all a ship's CIWS
simultaneously but rather in an incremental fashion. The
Committee believes this plan to be inefficient and provides
additional funding to facilitate the full outfitting of ships
with the CIWS Block 1B capability.

Procurement of Ammunition, Navy and Marine Corps

Appropriations, 2004.................................... $934,905,000

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED PROGRAM

The following table summarizes the budget estimate for this

recommended adjustments to the budget estimate:

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED ADJUSTMENTS

The following table details the adjustments recommended by
the Committee:

DD(X) Destroyer Program.--The Committee recommends
supporting the President's budget request for the DD(X)
Destroyer program but holds that construction of the ship
should be funded within the shipbuilding and conversion account
in a manner consistent with prior shipbuilding programs. The
Committee is encouraged by the Navy's willingness to propose
nontraditional means of overcoming the enormous financial
burden that ship cost overruns and prior year bills place upon
the shipbuilding budget, but finds that such costs would not be
eliminated but rather obscured by funding ship construction in
the research and development account. Therefore, the Committee
recommends transferring $221,116,000 of research and
development funding to the Shipbuilding and Conversion, Navy
account and directs the Navy to fund future ship construction
programs within the shipbuilding and conversion account. In
addition, the Committee recommends providing $99,400,000 in
advance procurement funding for the second DD(X) ship to be
constructed at a second source shipyard.
LHA(R).--The Committee is aware of the Navy and Marine
Corps team's desire to accelerate the current fiscal year 2008
build plan for the next generation large deck amphibious
assault ship. The Committee's understanding is that the
recently signed requirements plan calls for the construction of
LHA(R) Flight Zero or an affordable variant of the LHD Class
that is designed to support increased air operations and fuel
capacity. The Committee recommends $175,000,000 in funding for
LHA(R) Flight Zero with the unwavering expectation that the
Navy will include follow-on funding for the ship in its fiscal
year 2006 budget request. Further, the Committee directs the
Secretary of the Navy to submit a detailed report to the
congressional defense committees on the acquisition strategy
and overall program plan for the LHA(R) by March 31, 2005.

Other Procurement, Navy

Appropriations, 2004.................................... $4,941,098,000
Budget estimate, 2005................................... 4,834,278,000
Committee recommendation................................ 4,797,025,000

The Committee recommends an appropriation of
$4,797,025,000. This is $37,253,000 below the budget estimate.

Cruiser Modernization.--The budget request includes
$165,999,000 for the Cruiser Modernization program. The intent
of the program is to increase the service life of AEGIS
Cruisers and to upgrade and modernize their combat
capabilities. The fiscal year 2004 Defense Appropriations bill
(Public Law 108-87) provided $102,700,000 to modernize a
Baseline IV vessel, one of the newest ships in the fleet, as
the first ship of the program. While the conference agreement
provided funds to initiate the program, the conferees expressed
concern over the Navy's proposal to upgrade one of the newest
and most modern Cruisers in the fleet before upgrading legacy
assets. The conferees, therefore, directed the Navy to revise
its funding strategy to provide for an earlier modernization of
legacy Baseline II ships and fully fund this revised strategy
in the fiscal year 2005 budget request.
The Committee is disappointed that the current budget
request includes funds for modernization of another Baseline IV
ship. In addition, the Committee is concerned that the Navy has
not identified which Baseline IV ship will be upgraded with the
requested funds. The failure to identify a ship makes the
fiscal year 2005 budget estimates questionable as the cost to
modernize each Cruiser differs based on the configuration of
the ship. Further, the cost estimates are questionable as
production rates differ regionally and the Navy has not
determined where the work will be completed. Finally, the
Committee is troubled by the Navy's decision to reduce program
scope to compensate for program cost growth. As a result, the
program no longer promises to provide several of the key combat
capability upgrades originally planned. Due to the questionable
cost estimates, the cost growth which led to termination of key
program upgrades, and the Navy's request to once again
modernize one of the newest ships in the fleet prior to legacy
assets, the Committee denies the budget request and rescinds
$89,939,000 from prior year funds available for rescission. The
fiscal year 2005 reductions are distributed as follows:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Account Amount
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Other Procurement, Navy............................... $114,139,000
Weapons Procurement, Navy............................. 8,760,000
Operation and Maintenance, Navy....................... 43,100,000
-----------------
Total........................................... 165,999,000
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Surface Sonar Windows and Domes.--The Committee recommends
an increase of $5,000,000 to complete the re-design and
fabrication of a second composite bow dome prototype for at-sea
testing.
MK-53 NULKA Anti-Ship Missile Decoy System.--The Committee
recommends an increase of $11,100,000 for NULKA Decoys. This
funding procures an additional 25 rounds to reduce the Navy's
operational shortfall of anti-ship missile decoys. This funding
also supports ordnance alteration kits for NULKA round
subassemblies.
Man Overboard Identification System.--The Committee
recommends an additional $10,000,000 to procure Man Overboard
Identification Systems. These systems immediately alert Navy
ships of a man-overboard incident and also provide precision
location of an individual in water, thereby reducing death and
injury from such incidents.
Littoral Combat Ship [LCS] Mission Packages.--A central
feature of the LCS design is modular Mission Packages. The
planned Mission Packages may consist of a combination of
modules, manned and unmanned off-board vehicles, deployable
sensors, and other support equipment. The Navy plans to begin
funding Mission Modules, which will be procured independently
from Seaframe development, in the fiscal year 2006 budget
request under the ``Other Procurement, Navy'' account. The
Committee feels strongly about creating an appropriate level of
visibility to ensure an accurate accounting of total program
costs. The Committee, therefore, directs the Navy to establish
a ``LCS Mission Packages'' line within the account and to
request all items (modules, vehicles, sensors, etc.) related to
the development of LCS Mission Packages in this line as part of
the fiscal year 2006 budget request.
Standing Joint Force Headquarters Core Element.--The
Committee supports the U.S. Joint Forces Command's plan to
create a standing joint force headquarters which will provide a
surge capability for contingencies. The Committee recommends
that of the funds under this heading, $6,000,000 be provided
for essential command and control equipment and deployment gear
required to supply this surge capability.

Procurement, Marine Corps

Appropriations, 2004.................................... $1,165,727,000
Budget estimate, 2005................................... 1,190,103,000
Committee recommendation................................ 1,266,803,000

The Committee recommends an appropriation of
$1,266,803,000. This is $76,700,000 above the budget estimate.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED PROGRAM

The following table summarizes the budget estimate for this
appropriation, the Committee recommendation, and the Committee
recommended adjustments to the budget estimate:

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED ADJUSTMENTS

The following table details the adjustments recommended by
the Committee:

Expeditionary Fighting Vehicle [EFV].-- The Marine Corps is
developing the EFV to replace the Amphibious Assault Vehicle,
originally fielded in 1972, as its primary combat vehicle for
transporting troops from ship to shore and on land. The
Committee considers this program a critical component of the
Marine Corps' future warfighting capabilities. The Committee,
however, is concerned about the current delay in selection of
an EFV production site when Low Rate Initial Production [LRIP]
of the vehicle is scheduled to begin next year. Also of concern
to the Committee is the slow execution of $97,195,000
appropriated in fiscal year 2004 to procure industrial and
special tooling equipment for installation in the EFV
production facility. As of May 2004, the Marine Corps had
obligated less than 1 percent of this funding. The fiscal year
2005 request includes an additional $57,318,000 for EFV
industrial and special tooling equipment. Due to the delays in
execution of fiscal year 2004 funding and in the production
site selection process, the Committee reduces the request for
industrial equipment by $15,000,000, and directs the Marine
Corps to inform the Committee when a production site is
selected.
Unit Operations Center.--The budget request includes
$11,293,000 for support costs associated with the Unit
Operations Center program, an increase of $10,348,000 above the
amount requested in fiscal year 2004. As part of the
Committee's budget review, the Marine Corps failed to provide
adequate justification for this increase. As a result, the
Committee reduces the request by $8,000,000.
Digitization of Technical and Operations Manuals.--The
Committee recommends an increase of $7,500,000 for the
digitization of technical and operations manuals for the Native
American Document Conversion Program. This funding shall be
available for digitization and the development of hardware,
software, and data storage capability in connection with
implementation of the Service Data Management report.

Aircraft Procurement, Air Force

Appropriations, 2004.................................... $12,086,201,000
Budget estimate, 2005................................... 13,163,174,000
Committee recommendation................................ 13,547,524,000

The Committee recommends an appropriation of
$13,547,524,000. This is $384,350,000 above the budget
estimate.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED PROGRAM

The following table summarizes the budget estimate for this
appropriation, the Committee recommendation, and the Committee
recommended adjustments to the budget estimate:

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED ADJUSTMENTS

The following table details the adjustments recommended by
the Committee:

F-117 Nighthawk.--The Committee concurs with Section 132 of
the National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 2005,
regarding the prohibition of retirement of F-117 aircraft.
Heavy Outsized Airlift Capacity.--The Committee is aware of
the on-going Mobility Capabilities Study and the probability
that the current 54.5 MTM/day requirement will increase. The
Committee, like the Air Force, recognizes the value of filling
whatever heavy, outsized lift requirement is validated with the
most cost effective fleet structure to include better use of
the Civilian Reserve Air Fleet [CRAF].
The Committee directs the Secretary of the Air Force to
provide the congressional defense committees with a report
assessing any and all options to introduce a U.S.-owned, heavy,
outsized airlift capability into the CRAF based on potential
commercial uses of commercialized versions of U.S. heavy
outsized cargo aircraft without the need for government
investment or substantial involvement.

Missile Procurement, Air Force

Appropriations, 2004.................................... $4,165,633,000
Budget estimate, 2005................................... 4,718,313,000
Committee recommendation................................ 4,609,213,000

The Committee recommends an appropriation of
$4,609,213,000. This is $109,100,000 below the budget estimate.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED PROGRAM

The following table summarizes the budget estimate for this
appropriation, the Committee recommendation, and the Committee
recommended adjustments to the budget estimate:

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED ADJUSTMENTS

The following table details the adjustments recommended by
the Committee:

Procurement of Ammunition, Air Force

Appropriations, 2004.................................... $1,262,725,000
Budget estimate, 2005................................... 1,396,457,000
Committee recommendation................................ 1,353,859,000

The Committee recommends an appropriation of
$1,353,859,000. This is $42,598,000 below the budget estimate.

committee recommended program

The following table summarizes the budget estimate for this
appropriation, the Committee recommendation, and the Committee
recommended adjustments to the budget estimate:

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED ADJUSTMENTS

The following table details the adjustments recommended by
the Committee:

Joint Direct Attack Munition [JDAM] Engineering Change
Orders.--The budget request includes $14,684,000 for JDAM
engineering change orders, an increase of $8,480,000 above the
fiscal year 2004 level. During the past 2 fiscal years, the Air
Force has executed approximately 25 percent of the amounts
provided for JDAM engineering change orders on its intended
purpose. Based on this prior year execution, the Committee
reduces the budget request by $5,000,000.

Other Procurement, Air Force

Appropriations, 2004.................................... $11,558,799,000
Budget estimate, 2005................................... 13,283,557,000
Committee recommendation................................ 13,284,897,000

The Committee recommends an appropriation of
$13,284,897,000. This is $1,340,000 above the budget estimate.

committee recommended program

The following table summarizes the budget estimate for this
appropriation, the Committee recommendation, and the Committee
recommended adjustments to the budget estimate:

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED ADJUSTMENTS

The following table details the adjustments recommended by
the Committee:

Cryptographic Modernization.--The budget request includes
funds to procure the KIV-7M, a cryptographic device designed
specifically for secure data communications and to transfer the
encryption electronic key. Subsequent to the budget submission,
the Air Force revealed the request for this item was made
erroneously. The Committee, therefore, reduces the budget
request by $12,229,000.
Digital Ionospheric Sounder System [DISS].--The Committee
denies the budget request of $4,130,000 for the DISS. The Air
Force has experienced technological difficulties in meeting
system requirements and determined near term solutions may not
be readily available. In addition, the Air Force has identified
two other options to meet the DISS requirements. Both options
are commercial-off-the-shelf solutions, which are not expected
to be technologically mature for at least another year.
Joint Simulator Upgrades.--The budget request includes
$19,700,000 to procure equipment in support of the Joint
National Training Capability [JNTC], which is a U.S. Joint
Forces Command program. Serving as the DoD Executive Agent for
the U.S. Joint Forces Command, the Navy is responsible for
prioritizing, presenting, and defending the command's budgetary
requirements. Under this authority, the Navy's fiscal year 2005
request includes $12,000,000 in the ``Other Procurement, Navy''
account for JNTC equipment. This is $5,000,000 above last
year's level. The Committee denies the request of $19,700,000
in this account and directs the Department to fund future JNTC
equipment requirements in the ``Other Procurement, Navy''
account.
Point of Maintenance/Combat Ammunition System Initiative.--
The Committee recommends an additional $8,000,000 to continue
implementation of the Point of Maintenance/Combat Ammunition
System Initiative at priority Air Force facilities. The
initiative inserts modern commercial-off-the-shelf automatic
identification and data collection technologies into Air Force
maintenance and munitions management programs.
Combat Arms Training System [CATS].--The Committee
understands the need to modernize small arms training systems
for the Air National Guard to meet their Homeland Defense and
combat training requirements. There is currently a shortfall of
184 CATS in the Air National Guard. The Committee believes
these systems enhance mission readiness and recommends an
additional $5,000,000 to procure CATS for the Air National
Guard.

Procurement, Defense-Wide

Appropriations, 2004.................................... $3,709,926,000
Budget estimate, 2005................................... 2,883,302,000
Committee recommendation................................ 2,867,303,000

The Committee recommends an appropriation of
$2,867,303,000. This is $15,999,000 below the budget estimate.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED PROGRAM

The following table summarizes the budget estimate for this
appropriation, the Committee recommendation, and the Committee
recommended adjustments to the budget estimate:

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED ADJUSTMENTS

The following table details the adjustments recommended by
the Committee:

Special Operations Procurement Funding.--The Committee
recommends $181,541,000 for procurement of equipment for
Special Operations Forces. The Committee applauds the Command
and its forces for their leadership and appreciates the
sacrifices made in the Global War on Terrorism. The Committee
strongly supports the unique budget authority afforded to the
Command and is sensitive to the need for financial flexibility
during wartime, however, finds the number of below threshold
reprogramming [BTR] actions executed by the Command
unacceptable. The Congress provides the Department the
flexibility to move funding among programs for unanticipated
and extraordinary needs, not for basic program financial
management. The benefit of flexibility should not be used to
inhibit the Congress' ability to track a program's financial
health or circumvent the intent for which funds are
appropriated.
The Committee has examined the Command's fiscal year 2005
budget request and finds the level of financial flexibility
afforded by the current construction of the Command's budget
concerning. Thus, the Committee recommends modifying the
current budget structure by increasing the number of line items
for procurement. The recommended changes are made in a manner
consistent with the Service budget presentations as illustrated
by the separation of the MH-47 and MH-60 program budgets. While
the Committee has created new lines specifically for the two
aircraft Service Life Extension Programs [SLEP], it directs the
Command to further separate the funding provided in the Rotary
Wing Upgrade line by program in future budget submissions. The
Committee further directs the Command to follow the recommended
budgetary line item construction in the future.
Advanced SEAL Delivery System [ASDS].--In the report
accompanying Public Law 108-87 the conferees directed that none
of the funds provided for the ASDS could be obligated or
expended until a successful Milestone C decision and a revised
cost estimate validated by the Cost Analysis and Improvement
Group [CAIG] was provided to the congressional defense
committees. The Committee has recently been notified that the
Milestone C decision has been delayed until the fall of 2005.
As a positive Milestone C decision is required to initiate
procurement of the second ASDS, the fiscal year 2004 and 2005
funding for advance procurement is no longer required. As such,
the Committee recommends rescinding the fiscal year 2004 and
reducing fiscal year 2005 funding for this effort. The
Committee commends the Command for making the practical program
management decision to revise the schedule and hopes the
postponement of the Milestone C decision will allow the ASDS to
overcome the deficiencies identified in the Operational Test
and Evaluation report, undergo the full range of acoustic
testing, and incorporate the projected technology improvements.
In order to facilitate these efforts, the Committee recommends
$14,000,000 for the ASDS in the Research, Development, Test and
Evaluation, Defense-Wide appropriation.

National Guard and Reserve Equipment

Appropriations, 2004.................................... $400,000,000
Budget estimate, 2005...................................................
Committee recommendation................................ 500,000,000

The Committee recommends an appropriation of $500,000,000.
This is $500,000,000 above the budget estimate.
The appropriation includes direction for each Reserve and
National Guard component commander to submit to the
congressional defense committees a detailed assessment of that
component's modernization priorities.
The Committee maintains that the Reserve and National Guard
component commanders should exercise control of funds provided
for their modernization in this account. The separate
submission of these assessments, directly from the Reserve
component commanders and the National Guard Directors to the
committees will ensure that Reserve and National Guard
priorities are addressed in the allocation of this
appropriation.

Titanium Extraction, Mining, and Process Engineering
Research [TEMPER] Initiative.--The Committee is aware of
technologies which will identify and develop new extraction and
mining technologies that will significantly reduce the cost of
titanium, reduce the reliance on foreign titanium ore and build
the lowest cost processing stream for titanium components. The
fiscal year 2004 program has demonstrated the feasibility of
using Montana ore and through the technology resources of
various industry partners, a target low-cost extraction process
has been identified. Additional funds in fiscal year 2005 will
extend the existing technology consortium and ensure the
success of the program. This academic/industry consortium will
demonstrate the lowest cost processing stream that uses
domestic ores, a new extraction process and melting and non-
melting technologies to produce material. This approach will
benchmark a new ``Titanium Mini-mill'' concept, thus
establishing a new industry standard in the titanium community.
This is an initiative that will directly benefit the U.S. Army
and will be validated on weapon systems under development by
U.S. Army ARDEC. The Committee encourages the Department of the
Army to continue this program within funds available in the
research and development account.
MARIAH II.--The Committee notes that hypersonic ground test
capability is necessary to launch the next generation of air-
breathing hypersonic systems such as missiles, reusable space
vehicles and global reach aircraft. To date, the MARIAH II
program has been developing the key enabling technologies
required for a MACH 8 to 15, one second run time large-scale
hypersonic wind tunnel. These technologies include ultra-high
pressure, electronic beam energy addition and magneto
hydrodynamics [MHD] acceleration technology. The Committee has
provided $15,000,000 in PE 0602303A to continue this
development.
In fiscal year 2004, Congress directed the transfer of
MARIAH II from the Air Force, which had failed to include
MARIAH II in its budget requests, to the Army Aviation and
Missile Command. The Army identified a near-term need for
hypersonic ground test capability to support several advanced
missile development programs. The Army program calls for a MACH
10, one second run time wind tunnel to be operational within 5
years. The Committee believes the MARIAH II program to be of
vital interest to national security and America's continued
leadership in aerospace. The Committee directs the Secretary of
the Army, in conjunction with the Director of Defense Research
and Engineering to submit a report to the congressional defense
committees by March 3, 2005, which lays out a plan to fund
MARIAH II in the Future Years' Defense Program so that
operational capability may be achieved by fiscal year 2009.
Army Aviation Collaborative Engineering and Integration
Testbed.--The Committee supports the Army's decision to
terminate the Comanche helicopter program. However, the
Committee notes that with the cancellation of Comanche, the
Army is left with significant technologies and developed
components that should be utilized to benefit existing aviation
systems. For example, Comanche sensors [EOSS], Integrated
Communication Navigation Identification Avionics, Comanche
Portable Cockpit, revolutionary flight controls and helmet
mounted display technology, all slated for the Comanche program
should continue to be evaluated.
In an effort to capitalize on technologies such as these,
and to insure that Army aviation remains at the forefront of
technological advancement, the Committee encourages the Army to
develop an Aviation Collaborative Engineering and Integration
Testbed. The goal of such an effort should be to provide a
critical link between the Government-managed Aviation Research
Development and Engineering Center [RDEC] at Redstone Arsenal
and the Original Equipment Manufacturer [OEM] technical experts
and provide a badly-needed environment in which to evaluate the
transfer of Comanche-developed components and other advanced
technologies to Army aviation systems in direct support of
emerging and future war fighter needs.
A further goal of this initiative should be to facilitate
the transfer of Comanche program and other emerging aviation
systems technologies to a broader Rapid Equipment and Fielding
Facility [REFF] co-located with the PEO Aviation, PEO Tactical
Missiles, and Aviation and Missile Command, leveraging several
existing integration facilities, laboratories, and engineering
centers. This concept represents an open architecture, airframe
independent, system integration testbed that will connect
avionics, sensors, weapons, airframe and test assets into an
integrated design and performance assessment tool. The
Committee directs the Secretary of the Army to submit a report
to the congressional defense committees by January 3, 2005
which provides a basic framework to move forward with this
initiative.
Land Warrior/Objective Force Warrior.--The Committee notes
with great concern that the Land Warrior program has been in
existence for over 10 years and to date, has not been fielded.
The Committee notes with great encouragement, however, that
with the transfer of this program to PEO Soldier, the Army has
dedicated the necessary resources and attention to this
technology in the past year to make a much more realistic
program which uses soldiers as its main focus.
The Committee remains concerned that the Land Warrior and
the Future Force Warrior are becoming two programs on separate
paths, never to cross with the soldier, those who are the
intended recipient of their technological advances. Therefore,
the Committee directs the Army to submit to the congressional
defense committees a plan to consolidate both programs into a
single program, benefiting from the efficiencies of each. The
Committee also recommends a reduction to the Future Force
Warrior program of $15,000,000 as a result of anticipated
efficiencies gained through consolidation of these two
programs. The consolidated program should take on the focus of
the Army's Future Combat System and provide the Army with a FCS
dismounted capability on the individual soldier.
Further, the Committee understands that it is possible to
field a dismounted capability immediately to the Stryker
Brigades currently deployed in combat. Therefore, the Committee
recommends that the Land Warrior program re-focus its
procurement strategy to incorporate these emerging
capabilities, such as the Commanders Digital Assistant [CDA]
and hand-held EPLRS capabilities, into the Stryker brigades
immediately.
Fibrinogen Bandages Using Non-mammalian Clotting
Proteins.--The Committee is encouraged by recent developments
in medical technologies using clotting proteins in blood to
develop bandages. These modern bandages appear to have shown
promise in traumatic injuries. Further, the Committee
recommends that the Army consider the use of non-mammalian
proteins as an additional source of protein in the manufacture
of Fibrinogen bandages.
Malaria Research and Vaccine Development.--The Committee
notes that Department of Defense research has led some of the
most promising malaria research and vaccine development efforts
in the world. The Committee encourages the Army and Navy to
find alternative means to fund administrative costs so that
contributions from the Malaria Vaccine Initiative can all be
directed to research and development programs. In an effort to
boost the Military Infectious Disease Research Program, the
Committee provides an additional $10,000,000 for malaria
research and vaccine development. The Committee directs that
these funds be used for the malaria research and vaccine
development efforts led by the Walter Reed Army Institute of
Research [WRAIR] and the Naval Medical Research Center [NMRC].
The Committee further encourages the Department of Defense and
the Department of the Army to provide funding through NMRC for
Plasmodium Falciparum irradiated sporozoite malaria vaccine
development, since this research has the potential to yield
results quickly.
NAD Synthetase Inhibitors.--The Committee is aware of the
work being done by the Department of the Army in the area of
force health protection, specifically the development of novel
pharmaceuticals that hold excellent promise for the
prophylactic and/or therapeutic control of anthrax by employing
NAD synthetase inhibitors. This important research should also
reduce the side effects associated with current treatments. The
Committee understands the concern over the prevention and
treatment of malaria and other tropical diseases, especially
leishmania. The Committee encourages the Department to evaluate
whether antimicrobial medical peptides [AMPs] are suitable
candidates for further clinical development.
Army Missile and Space Technology Initiative.--The
Committee is concerned about the lack of Applied Research
investments in support of the Army's ballistic defense systems.
Today, the Ballistic Missile Defense [BMD] technology
development budget has no Applied Research funds and its
Advanced Technology Research funding accounts for only a
portion of the overall Missile Defense Agency [MDA] budget with
the vast majority of funds being dedicated to acquiring and
fielding near term systems. This lack of funding for Applied
Research by MDA and the U.S. Army leaves a gap in critical
technology development for addressing the advancing threat. To
compound the problem, the speeds and distances involved in
intercepting a ballistic missile mean that the technologies
needed to advance our Nation's missile defense capability are
highly unique to the missile defense mission and cannot
necessarily leverage other basic and applied research in the
Services. Therefore, the Committee notes that there is an
urgent need for a coherent, focused applied research program in
the U.S. Army for BMD research, specifically dedicated to our
Nation's Ballistic Missile Defense System.
Armored Systems Modernization.--The President's fiscal year
2005 budget submission contains $2,700,455,000 for Armored
Systems Modernization and an additional $497,643,000 for the
Non-line of Sight Cannon [NLOS-C]. These two budget lines make
up the entire Future Combat System funding in the Army.
The Committee recognizes that the Future Combat System
represents the single greatest modernization program in the
Army's budget. This development program has seen an evolution
since its announcement, and the Committee supports the Army's
efforts to ensure that this weapon system is the most modern,
most effective weapon system in the Army inventory. The
Committee recognizes that the development of the Future Combat
System, along with Modularity, is an opportunity to modernize
the way the United States Army conducts land warfare in the
future.
In accordance with the discussions held between the Army
and this Committee, and in an effort to provide a greater
detailed level of oversight, the Committee directs that the
funds made available within Program Element 0604645A, Armored
Systems Modernization, be allocated within the following
projects:

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

As part of the Future Combat System, the Committee
recommends the creation of a new program element, 0604646A, Non
Line of Sight--Launch Systems, and recommends the transfer of
$79,500,000 from program element 0604545A to establish this
line. Additionally, the Committee recommends the transfer of
$343,937,000 to the Non Line-of-Sight Cannon and Resupply
Vehicle [NLOS-C], for a total of $841,580,000, as per the
amended justification materials submitted to the Committee. The
Committee believes that these individual projects will provide
the transparency necessary for Congress to perform its
oversight role. In addition, the Committee directs that each
project within the Armored Systems Modernization line be
designated as a special interest item subject to prior approval
reprogramming procedures as described elsewhere in this report.
Electronics Commodity Project.--The Committee was informed
by the Department of Defense that $1,000,000 was included in
the fiscal year 2005 President's budget request for the
Electronic Commodity Project, in line 127 of the Army research
and development account. The Committee is pleased that the
project was included in the budget and directs the Department
to use the funding to continue this effort.
Land Mine Alternatives.--The Committee supports the non-
self-destruct landmine alternatives and the Intelligent
Munitions System. The intent in initiating these programs was
to develop technologies to replace anti-personnel landmines
that cannot distinguish between an innocent civilian and an
enemy combatant. For this reason, the Committee believes it is
essential that these systems be designed to utilize a man-in-
the-loop, discriminating capability. The Committee directs the
Secretary of the Army to submit a report by January 3, 2005
describing its plans for incorporating this technology.
SCANJACK Mine Clearing System.--The Committee understands
the U.S. Army has a requirement for area mine clearance sets,
and that it is evaluating various systems. The Committee urges
the Army to acquire at least one commercial-off-the-shelf
[COTS] SCANJACK Mine Clearing System that can be used for test
and evaluation and, if required, for deployment in a military
or humanitarian contingency.
Enterprise Resource Planning for Army Combat Logistics.--
Army logistics systems arm, fuel, repair, move, and sustain
combat forces. The Army's goals for modernization of its legacy
logistics systems include improved sustainment of combat forces
using fewer soldiers, increased readiness and operational
availability, while significantly lowering cost. Enterprise
resource planning systems provide essential information for
timely decision-making and accurate performance-measurement.
They use no custom software code and only commercial off-the-
shelf computer technology. They are web-based with a robust
telecommunications infrastructure, and have been tested at
thousands of sites outside the Army. The Committee encourages
the Army to use funds within the Global Combat Support System
[GCSS] account to complete the blueprinting and accelerate
fielding of the system by up to 2 years, replacing 20 year old
systems which question their ability to support combat
operations.
Skid-steer Loaders.--The Committee understands that
operational experience in Iraq and Afghanistan has demonstrated
that skid-steer loaders add significantly to the survivability,
mobility, and productivity of Army combat engineers. The
Committee encourages the Army to pursue the acquisition of
additional skid-steer loaders for engineering units supporting
operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Small Mobile Weapons Systems For Force Protection.--The
United States Army is being transformed to a lighter and more
lethal force. This transformation leads to a more dispersed
force with fewer soldiers armed with highly sophisticated
assets under their direct control. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
have already shown great advantage as an extension of the
soldier for Reconnaissance, Surveillance & Target Acquisition
missions. Small Mobile Weapons Systems are now becoming
available to provide a critical multiplier of the firepower of
the transformed force. Additional resources for this effort
will enable the development and implementation of the already
field tested first generation designs. The Small Mobile Weapons
Systems program will focus on weight reduction, ruggedization,
improved survivability and cost reduction. The Committee
encourages the Army to use funds within its fiscal year 2005
research and development funding to pursue this technology.
Micro Liquid Crystal Displays.--The Committee understands
that a broad range of military programs now utilize the next
generation of enhanced micro-image displays that provide wide
field displays, reduced power, and enhanced resolution and
brightness. The Committee encourages the Department of the Army
to use funds within its fiscal year 2005 research and
development funding to pursue enhanced micro-image displays.

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

PMRF Force Protection Lab.--The Committee recommends an
increase of $8,000,000 for the PMRF force protection lab. The
lab will serve as an incubator for force protection and base
security technologies and will examine such technologies as
active access technologies, rapid response command information
systems, common situation displays, ports and cargo secure
operations, maritime security and force protection, and
advanced communications terminals.
Acoustic Technology Program.--The Committee recommends
$5,000,000 for the development of a multi-mission unmanned
undersea glider prototype coupled with ISR sensors to
demonstrate denied area surveillance through the Acoustic
Technology Program.
MTTC/IPI.--The Committee notes MTTC/IPPI's significant
contribution to increasing cost savings for the Navy through
innovative product development, and encourages the Navy to
include funding for this program as part of its annual budget
request.
Littoral Combat Ship.--The Committee supports the budget
request for the Littoral Combat Ship [LCS] and consents to the
Navy's request to fund construction of the first prototype ship
for each of two ship designs in the Research and Development,
Navy account. Approval for funding LCS in the research and
development account is strictly based on the acknowledgement of
the prototypical nature and high level of technical risk
inherent in this program. The Committee finds LCS to be unique
and unlike any other shipbuilding program the Navy has
previously pursued; and therefore, grants the Navy's request
for the increased flexibility that funding within the research
and development account affords. However, the Committee directs
that all follow-on ships beyond one prototype for each LCS ship
design be fully funded in the Shipbuilding and Conversion, Navy
account. The Committee also believes that substantial testing
of the LCS and the associated mission modules is required to
evaluate each ship design and validate operational
requirements. Therefore, the Committee directs that no funds
shall be obligated to prepare a fiscal year 2006 budget request
for construction of the second ship of either prototype design.
This directive is intended to provide for a ``gap'' year
between the construction of the first prototype ship and second
ship of each design, thereby ensuring that design problems
discovered during the construction of each ship design are
identified and fixed before construction of the follow-on
ships. In addition, the consent to build the LCS prototype
ships with research and development funding should in no way be
interpreted as approval for other ship construction programs to
be funded within the Research and Development, Navy account.
The Committee is also concerned that the development of
various LCS mission modules, which will be procured
independently from the vessel, will obscure the actual cost of
the weapon system. Therefore, the Committee directs the Navy to
identify LCS mission module funding separately within the
Research and Development, Navy and Other Procurement, Navy
accounts.
MDETEC.--The Committee directs the Department of the Navy
to conduct a study on the Navy's directed energy and electric
weapon requirements for both offensive and defensive uses of
such weapons. The study shall examine future Naval force
capability gaps, the potential requirements for, employment and
testing of directed energy and electric weapons to fill those
gaps. The study shall include examination of high-energy laser,
high power microwave, particle beam, electronic attack,
electromagnetic launch and rail gun technologies. The report
shall be delivered not later than June 1, 2005.
DD(X) Destroyer Program.--The Committee supports the budget
request for the DD(X) Destroyer program but believes that
construction of the ship should be funded within the
Shipbuilding and Conversion account in a manner consistent with
prior shipbuilding programs. Therefore, the Committee transfers
$221,116,000 of Research and Development funding to the
Shipbuilding and Conversion account and directs the Navy to
fund future ship construction within the Shipbuilding and
Conversion account.
Joint Strike Fighter STOVL Lift Fan.--The Committee directs
that in addition to funds currently budget for STOVL Lift Fan
technologies, not less than $15,000,000 of the funds provided
for the Joint Strike Fighter program shall be for STOVL Lift
Fan thrust increase studies.
Fire Scout Unmanned Aerial Vehicle.--The Committee has
included an additional $24,000,000 for the Fire Scout unmanned
aerial vehicle program. The Committee directs that these funds
shall be used for procurement of one additional Fire Scout
system consisting of three Fire Scout air vehicles, three
Electro-Optical-Infrared/Laser Designator/Laser Rangefinder
payloads and embedded radios, one Ground Control Station, and
one ship set of automatic landing equipment.
CCDoTT.--The Committee recognizes that Office of Naval
Research sponsored university research into agile port
technology and supply networks and sense and respond logistics,
holds significant promise in improving strategic mobility,
rapid deployment and sustainment, and force protection in
support of expeditionary warfare mission objectives. The
Committee encourages the Joint Forces Command to support those
efforts and participate with the Center for the Commercial
Deployment of Transportation Technology and the local logistics
airport in conducting joint experiments, desktop and field
exercises such as Sea Viking 06 and 08 to demonstrate and
rapidly deploy those advanced concepts of operations.
Emitter Location Technologies.--The Committee is concerned
that the Department of Defense has not captured the cost
benefits offered by current emitter location technology. For
example, the Navy and Air Force continue to pursue dedicated
weapon systems to perform the Suppression of Enemy Air Defense
[SEAD] and the Destruction of Enemy Air Defense [DEAD] mission
areas rather than use new emitter location technology to
accurately geolocate targets for current strike systems to
suppress or destroy. Emitter location technologies will allow
multiple missions to be performed by existing strike weapons
systems thereby saving costs and time. The Committee directs
the Navy to evaluate the cost benefits offered by the
adaptation of current emitter location technology to justify
the continued expenditures on new missile systems dedicated to
the SEAD and DEAD mission areas. This evaluation should
identify the cost and risks associated with upgrading current
and planned emitter location technology versus the cost and
benefits of using dedicated missile systems.
Western Security Complex.--The Committee understands that
extensive informal efforts have been made by the naval facility
at China Lake, California, the United States Joint Forces
Command, and a number of other facilities to establish
cooperative operations among more than 100 bases, laboratories,
and government-sponsored research facilities in the western
United States. The Committee recognizes the potential value of
formalizing these efforts and supports a feasibility study of
the Western Security Complex, which would link together and
explore cooperative ventures to leverage resources in support
of the Global War on Terrorism. The study is to be submitted to
congressional defense committees before the fiscal year 2006
budget submission.

Human Performance.--The budget request includes $7,800,000
for the study of human sensory systems and perceptions, an
increase of $4,400,000 above fiscal year 2004 levels. As part
of the Committee's budget review the Air Force failed to
provide adequate justification for this increase. The Committee
recommends a decrease of $3,000,000.
External Research Programs Interface.--The budget request
includes $6,000,000 for international study, travel, and
liaison missions. As part of the Committee's budget review the
Air Force failed to provide adequate justification for this
increase. The Committee recommends a decrease of $2,000,000.
University Research Initiatives.--The budget request
included $39,670,000 for graduate fellowships, an increase of
$5,000,000 above fiscal year 2004 levels. The Committee
recommends funding for this program at the fiscal year 2004
level, and recommends a decrease of $5,000,000.
Quantum Gate Technology.--The Committee recommends
$1,000,000 for the purpose of conducting advanced research in
quantum information technology of significance to the
Department of Defense.
Composite Materials For UAVs.--Developing and producing
composite materials tailored to the unique demands of unmanned
aerial vehicles [UAVs] is critical if the Department of Defense
is to extract the full operational capability of these systems.
Therefore, the Committee provides an additional $2,000,000 for
the purpose of developing and certifying this new class of
materials for the J-UCAS, UCAR, and other UAVs.
MSSS/AMOS.--The Committee recommends an increase of
$34,000,000 above the budget request for sustainment,
investment in new technologies, initiatives, and research and
development activities at MSSS. The Committee is concerned that
the Air Force is applying overhead charges and administrative
expenses to MSSS programs at excessive rates for lab overhead.
The Committee directs the Air Force to base its overhead
charges only on the amount it requests. None of the increases
provided here shall be subject to Air Force headquarters or
administrative costs unrelated to MSSS. Furthermore, research
funds should be allocated by Air Force officials on-site to
local programs that offer the greatest potential return and
merit. In addition, the Committee directs the Air Force and the
Missile Defense Agency to study the advantages of moving MSSS
to the Space Vehicles directorate within the Air Force Research
Lab or to create a separate directorate for these activities
and report by January 1, 2005 on their recommendations.
Long Range Planning.--The budget request included
$7,140,000 for acquisition planning and an on going Analysis of
Alternatives for the land based Strategic Deterrent. This
represents an increase of $2,200,000 above fiscal year 2004
levels. The Air Force has not demonstrated sufficient
justification to increase the funding for the studies and
planning described above. The Committee recommends a decrease
of $2,000,000.
Integrated Strategic Planning and Analysis Network
[ISPAN].--The budget request included $23,000,000 for software
upgrades and contractor costs related to the ISPAN planning
system. The development effort related to modernization of
ISPAN is concurrent with operation and maintenance funded
sustaining efforts. As part of the Committee's budget review
the Air Force was unable to justify the estimated contractor
costs assumed in the budget request. The Committee recommends a
decrease to requested funding of $5,000,000.
KC-10 GATM.--The budget request contained $18,452,000 for
KC-10 Global Air Traffic Management development. Subsequent to
the submission of the budget request the Air Force decided to
cancel the subject program. The Committee recommends a decrease
of $18,452,000.
Fuel Cells.--The Committee is aware that a broad range of
Air Force missions and applications have an immediate need for
efficient and robust fuel cell based power sources. Fuel cells
are lighter than conventional batteries or generator power
supplies. Fuel cells offer the largest potential to reduce
vehicle fuel consumption, individual soldier pack load,
environmental pollution and enemy ability to detect combat
vehicles. The Committee supports the Air Force investments in
fuel cell technology and encourages the Air Force to use funds
for the prototype scale-up, optimization and demonstration of
an advanced solid polymer electrolyte fuel cell that uses
lyotropic LCP based membranes.
JHPSSL.--The Committee is supportive of the Joint High
Power Solid State Laser Program [JHPSSL]. This joint high
energy laser program, funded by both the Department of the Air
Force and the Department of the Army and managed by the High
Energy Laser Joint Technology Office is a crucial step towards
developing a powerful, lightweight and ultra-precise laser
weapon that will increase probability of kill while reducing
collateral damage. The Committee recommends that the Air Force
continue to fully fund this important JHPSSL program and ensure
that this program move forward with at least two of the
participants now under contract through the next phase of
development, the JHPSSL Follow-On Program, to reduce risk.

SPACE PROGRAMS

The Air Force Research, Development, Test and Evaluation
budget request for fiscal year 2005 represents a considerable
investment in space technologies and programs. In the context
of the overall Defense budget, the totality of these
investments is in all probability not sustainable. During
fiscal year 2005 the Air Force seeks to nearly double its
investment in Space Based Radar from a fiscal year 2004 level
of $172,600,000 to a fiscal year 2005 level of $328,000,000.
Transformational communications, the next generation of
satellite communications, more than doubles in fiscal year 2005
to a request level of $774,000,000. Although funded in another
Air Force appropriation, the cost of space launch within the
Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle program has more than doubled
since the fiscal year 2004 request, reaching a fiscal year 2005
request level of $638,000,000. According to current plans, each
of the above mentioned programs grows by a minimum of 30
percent in fiscal year 2006 absent additional schedule and cost
perturbations. Subsequent to the submission of the budget
request the Air Force notified the Committee of the latest cost
estimates for the Space Based Infrared System [SBIRS] High
program. Current estimates are that cost growth for the SBIRS
program will approximate $1,000,000,000 from fiscal year 2004-
2013. Due to the conclusion of the Committee that planned
investments in space programs are unaffordable, several
adjustments to the budget request are recommended below.
Transformational Satellite Communications System.--The
budget request included $774,800,000 for the transformational
military satellite [TSAT] communications program. Current plans
project a cost increase of over 50 percent during fiscal year
2006, reaching an annual funding level of over $1,000,000,000.
The Committee supports the efforts of the Air Force to
develop significant increases in bandwidth available to the
military. TSAT development holds the potential to improve
communications capability through the use of lasers, internet
protocol packets, and integration with a new ground
communications network. Current Air Force estimates of the cost
to complete the TSAT program approximate $12,000,000,000. This
estimate is nearly double the estimated cost to complete in the
fiscal year 2004 request.
As noted above, the Committee remains acutely concerned
that projected investments in Air Force space programs are not
sustainable. The technical risks associated with the deployment
of a TSAT constellation are considerable. The Committee
recommends a decrease of $400,000,000. Despite the recommended
reduction in funds available to the program, sufficient
resources remain to support technology development and risk
reduction activities. In fact, at the recommended level,
available funding increases by 10 percent above the fiscal year
2004 levels.
Space Based Radar.--The budget request includes
$327,732,000 for the Space Based Radar [SBR] program, an
increase of $155,000,000 above funding appropriated for fiscal
year 2004. Current life cycle cost estimates for the Space
Based Radar program range from $25,000,000,000 to
$29,000,000,000. In concept, Space Based Radar would provide
military commanders and the intelligence community with an
overhead capability to: conduct surface moving target tracks;
access multiple theaters regardless of weather or visibility;
provide rapid revisit radar imaging and terrain mapping; and,
achieve near continuous surveillance.
According to the current plans of the Department of
Defense, the first launch of an SBR satellite would occur
during fiscal year 2012. To achieve this ambitious objective
the Department intends to reach a Milestone B decision during
fiscal year 2006, despite the fact that critical technologies
such as the moving target indication software, hardware and
algorithms and the on board processor are unlikely to have
reached technology readiness level 5 until 2006. Although the
Department of Defense has completed a Ground Moving Target
Indicator Analysis of Alternatives, the Air Force and the
Office of the Secretary of Defense are still considering the
ideal force structure for the integration of air and space
intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance assets. Due to
the uncertainties surrounding the affordability of an SBR
constellation, and current levels of technological maturity,
the Committee recommends a funding decrease of $100,000,000.
This recommended level of funding permits the Air Force to
continue technology maturation and further study the
relationship and costs concerning SBR dependence on
Transformational Communications and TSAT.
The Committee further recommends that each contractor team
narrow their concept development to only lead concepts.
Space Based Space Surveillance.--The budget request
includes $102,000,000 for Block 10 design development and risk
reduction costs. Current Air Force estimates for this
contractor effort total $97,100,000 in fiscal year 2005. The
Committee recommends a reduction of $4,000,000.
Spacecraft Vehicle Technologies.--The budget request
included $13,156,000 for the design of deployable structures
for Space Based Radar and an eventual flight experiment. This
request represents an increase of $5,800,000 above fiscal year
2004 levels. Due to the delays in the development of Space
Based Radar the Committee recommends a decrease of $4,000,000.
Counterspace Systems.--The budget request included
$53,000,000 for the Counter Surveillance Reconnaissance System.
Subsequent to the submission of the budget the Air Force
decided to cancel this program. The Committee recommends a
decrease of $53,000,0000.
Global Positioning System.--The Committee notes that the
Global Positioning System [GPS] has been an overwhelmingly
successful joint military and civil use program providing
revolutionary time and navigation accuracy improvements over
previous systems. GPS has also created new applications which
have improved safety throughout the United States and in other
parts of the world. It has been more than two decades since the
first GPS satellites were placed in orbit, and other nations
now compete with the United States in advancing GPS technology.
The Committee believes that Air Force research must focus on
efforts to move from an earth centric time-space reference to a
system which is decoupled from the planet. This research
promises breakthrough improvements to enable the United States
to maintain a technological lead over competing programs and
provide a crucial component of testing our missile defense
systems which rely on nearly incomprehensible precision.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED ADJUSTMENTS

The following table details the adjustments recommended by
the Committee:

DARPA.--The Committee recommends $2,849,979,000 for Defense
Advanced Research Projects Agency [DARPA] programs. DARPA is to
be commended for compliance with last year's language that
directed the incorporation of more detailed cost, schedule, and
performer data in the budget materials. The Committee finds,
however, that further information on plans for transitioning
DARPA technologies to the Services and/or an acquisition agent
is required. Therefore, the Committee directs DARPA to submit a
comprehensive transition plan for programs funded with 6.3
funds. The plan shall include the planned transition agent,
i.e. Service, Agency, or future acquisition agent, the expected
timing of the technology/program transition, and the expected
program costs (unit cost) that will be borne by the agent. The
Committee is sensitive to the scale of this endeavor and
therefore directs that only 30 percent of 6.3 funded programs
shall be required to present a transition plan with the fiscal
year 2006 President's budget submission. The Committee grants
flexibility in this reporting requirement with the expectation
that an even greater portion of programs will submit transition
plans in fiscal year 2007 and that all 6.3 funded programs will
submit plans with the fiscal year 2008 budget submission.
In addition, the Committee remains concerned about the
considerable financial flexibility inherent in DARPA's budget.
For example, in any given year the majority of DARPA's programs
undergo what is internally termed a ``go/no-go'' review. This
necessary review determines whether the pursued technology is
promising, plausible, and relevant to defense. As DARPA's
programs are intrinsically and purposefully high risk, it is
probable that many of the programs undergoing this review
receive ``no-go'' decisions. As a result, the Director has the
budgetary flexibility to redirect resources from all
discontinued or ``no-go'' programs to any other program or
programs funded within the same budgetary program element.
In addition, the Committee finds that program expenditures
are further obscured by the level of resources requested in
each program element. Over half of the Agency's program
elements request more than $200,000,000 in resources and one
program element requests over $500,000,000. Therefore, in order
to increase budgetary transparency and clarify the amount of
resources requested and ultimately executed on DARPA programs,
the Committee recommends increasing the number of budgetary
program elements or lines within the DARPA budget. The
Committee directs DARPA to follow the Committee's recommended
budgetary construction in future budget submissions.
Quadrupole Resonance Technology.--The Committee notes the
success of quadrupole resonance technology in explosives
detection. Leveraging accomplishments thus far, the Committee
recommends an increase of $3,000,000 to complete this project
in fiscal year 2005.
Follow-on RAMOS Program.--The Committee understands that
the Missile Defense Agency [MDA] recently terminated the
Russian American Observation Satellites [RAMOS] program. This
is a cooperative program with the Russian Federation on
mutually beneficial research that is missile defense related
and provides a foundation for future cooperative efforts. The
Committee believes that this collaboration on space-based
sensor research and development is meritorious and should
continue. Accordingly, the Committee recommends that of the
funds available to the MDA, $5,000,000 be allocated to continue
a follow-up cooperative program between the United States and
the Russian Federation on missile defense and early warning
technologies.
J-UCAS.--The Committee is concerned that the J-UCAS program
has not been properly coordinated with the Services, is overly
ambitious with regards to planned technologies and is
potentially unaffordable. The Committee is aware that when the
Departments of the Navy and Air Force reduced funding for the
program in their respective fiscal year 2005 budget proposals,
the Office of the Secretary of Defense [OSD] transferred the
program to one of its own offices, drastically increased
program funding and slated DARPA as the executive agent. The
Committee is also aware that since the program was transferred,
there has been little coordination and consultation with the
Services. As the Services will ultimately be called upon to
operate and invest in the J-UCAS, it is prerequisite that they
be closely involved in the development of requirements and the
acquisition strategy.
In addition, the Committee is concerned that the
technologies planned for the common operating system and
advanced sensor suite are unnecessarily ambitious and
potentially unaffordable. The schedule for these technologies
is also unduly aggressive. As such, the Committee recommends a
reduction of $200,000,000 to the budget request and expects OSD
to fully coordinate program plans with the Navy and Air Force
in the future.
Lack of Program Justification.--The Committee is concerned
about the number of ``pilot'' programs requested within the
Office of the Secretary Defense. These programs include
Reducing Total Ownership Costs, Rapid Acquisition Initiatives,
Transformation Initiatives, and Horizontal Fusion. The funding
requests for these programs fail to outline the activities and
projects to be financed, but rather propose that the Congress
appropriate ``pots'' of money for broad programmatic objectives
where specific activities are identified after the funding is
provided. For example, the fiscal year 2005 budget request for
the new start program Reducing Total Ownership Costs broadly
describes the program's objective to, ``optimize returns on
investments that reduce operating and support costs for
systems.'' The Department plans to solicit proposals and make
project selections after funding has been granted; thus no
defined list of projects is available.
The Committee finds this budgetary practice unacceptable
and recommends reducing funding for these programs. The
Committee expects the Department to adhere to traditional
budget justification practices and provide detailed information
on the projects and activities to be funded with the budget
request.
Allen Radio Testbed.--The Committee is aware that
technology of the Allen Radio Telescope Array (at the Hat Creek
Radio Observatory Site) can be utilized by the Department as a
testbed that could lead to the development of a deployable
system to detect low-observable aircraft. The Committee directs
the Department to investigate this technology and report to the
Committee on its potential.
Perchlorate Contamination.--The Committee is concerned
about the potential cost of remediation of perchlorate and
provides $4,000,000 for the Environmental Security Technical
Certification Program to conduct research and a demonstration
of remediation technologies in the Rialto-Colton Basin.
The Committee believes that the Department should expedite
the development of a plan to remediate perchlorate
contamination. Once that plan is developed, the Committee
believes that the Department should take appropriate action to
implement this plan. The Committee supports the reporting
requirement on this matter as requested in the fiscal year 2004
Military Construction conference report.
Defense Integrated Military Human Resources System
[DIMHRS].--The Committee is aware that accelerating funding for
the DIMHRS program may significantly and more quickly improve
support to the joint staff and unified combatant commanders to
provide a single, fully integrated personnel and pay management
system for our service personnel. The Committee encourages the
Department of Defense to accelerate funding for the fielding
and implementation of DIMHRS. The Committee urges the
Department of Defense to maintain the DIMHRS joint program
manager co-located with the DIMHRS program office and
development staff at the SPAWAR Information Technology Center
[SITC].
Special Operations Research and Development Funding.--The
Committee recommends $506,986,000 for research and development
programs for Special Operations Forces. Similar to the position
presented in the Procurement, Defense-Wide section of this
report regarding the Command's budget structure, the Committee
recommends increasing the number of program elements for
research and development activities. The Committee hopes these
modifications will increase the transparency of the actual
level of resources necessary to execute the Command's programs
and directs that the Committee's adjustments be adhered to in
future budget submissions.
TACTICOMP.--The Committee is aware of the requirement for
advance modules of the TACTICOMP individual personal data
assistant and recommends $2,000,000 for Special Operations
Forces for this purpose. The funding should be focused on the
continued development of TACTICOMP advanced modules, the laser
range finder and Navy dive board units.

Committee recommendation................................ 441,936,000

The Committee recommends an appropriation of $441,936,000.
This is $827,316,000 below the budget estimate.
The Committee remains concerned about the status of
construction of the T-AKE ships. While construction of the
fiscal year 2000 appropriated ship has recently commenced, the
Navy reports that the program has slipped an additional 6
months. The status of the production design is particularly
concerning as only 2 of the 22 zones necessary for ship
fabrication are complete. Further, the Committee notes that
approximately $2,000,000,000 of $2,300,000,000 provided by the
Congress since fiscal year 2000 for the program remains
unexpended. As such, the Committee recommends reducing the
budget request for the T-AKE until sufficient construction
progress has been made on previously appropriated ships.

TITLE VI

OTHER DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE APPROPRIATIONS

Defense Health Program

Appropriations, 2004.................................... $15,730,013,000
Budget estimate, 2005................................... 17,640,411,000
Committee recommendation................................ 18,064,811,000

The Committee recommends an appropriation of
$18,064,811,000. This is $424,400,000 above the budget
estimate.
The Committee remains concerned by the Department's efforts
to fund shortfalls in the contractor provided private sector
care account from direct care funding for military treatment
facilities [MTFs]. The Committee believes that such actions
will adversely impact the ability of the MTFs to provide
quality health care to military beneficiaries. Therefore, the
Committee recommends that up to $8,953,494,000 may be available
for contractor provided medical services within TRICARE, and
directs the Department to follow established prior approval
reprogramming procedures before transferring funds from the
direct care account to the private sector care account.
Third-Party Collections at Military Treatment Facilities.--
The Committee is concerned by the findings of the General
Accounting Office regarding the collection of third-party
payments at military treatment facilities as outlined in the
GAO report 04-322R of February 2004. The Committee directs the
Assistant Secretary of Defense (Health Affairs) to make the
necessary business process improvement to ensure that Military
Treatment Facilities are collecting all appropriate third-party
payments. The Committee believes that these collections are
critical to maximizing health care delivery and preventing the
further degradation of medical facilities.
Enhanced Amputee Care.--The advent of body armor and
substantial improvements in combat casualty care have
contributed to the lowest ``died of wounds rate'' in recorded
military warfare. However, the Global War on Terrorism has
produced a surge in complex combat injuries involving the
amputation of major limbs. Historically, 3 percent of those
wounded in action required some amputation. Today that rate has
jumped to 6 percent in Iraq. The Committee believes military
amputees deserve the highest level of specialized care, and
therefore recommends an additional $18,400,000 to ensure
military amputee patients are returned to the highest level of
physical function and to active duty if possible. Of the funds
provided, $7,800,000 will contribute to improved operations at
the Amputee Center at Walter Reed Army Medical Center. The
Committee recommends $9,000,000 for research into improved
prosthetic care, limb development and rehabilitation, and
$1,600,000 of procurement funding is provided for support
equipment to furnish a new amputee center facility at Walter
Reed Army Medical Center.

and Humanitarian Assistance Medicine [CDHAM]. The Committee
encourages USUHS to provide funding for the Casualty Care
Research Center [CCRC] and the Center for the Study of
Traumatic Stress [CSTS].
Defense and Veterans Head Injury Program.--The Committee
recommends an additional $7,000,000 for the Defense and
Veterans Head Injury Program to support enhanced medical care
for active duty servicemembers who have sustained brain trauma.
Walter Reed Army Medical Center.--The Committee recommends
$10,000,000 for the Walter Reed Army Medical Center to fund

Peer Reviewed Cancer Research Program.--The Committee has
provided $200,000,000 for a Peer Reviewed Cancer Research
Program. The Committee directs the Secretary of Defense, in
conjunction with the service Surgeons General, to select cancer
research projects of clear scientific merit and direct
relevance to military health. The projects being considered
should include breast cancer, blood related cancers, ovarian
cancer, prostate cancer, providence cancer research project,
and targeted nano-therapeutics for advanced breast and prostate
cancer. The Secretary should use existing peer review
procedures for selecting projects for funding in order to
optimize the resources available for cancer research.
Peer Reviewed Medical Research Program.--The Committee has
provided $50,000,000 for a Peer Reviewed Medical Research
Program. The Committee directs the Secretary of Defense, in
conjunction with the service Surgeons General, to select
medical research projects of clear scientific merit and direct
relevance to military health.
Such projects could include: amyotrophic lateral sclerosis;
alcoholism research; anti-radiation drug development; childhood
asthma; chronic pain and fatigue research; conjugate vaccines
to prevent shigellosis; diabetes research; duchenne's disease
research; epilepsy research; lupus; neurofibromatosis; the
neurotoxin exposure treatment program; orthopaedic extremity
trauma; osteoporosis and related bone diseases; Paget's
Disease; post traumatic stress disorders; social work research;
tuberous sclerosis complex; Volume Angio CAT [VAC] research;
and autoimmune diseases such as scleroderma and sjogren's
syndrome.
The Committee directs the Department to provide a report by
March 1, 2005, on the status of these Peer Reviewed Cancer
Research and Medical Research Programs.
Clinical Coupler Integration.--The Committee commends the
Department for beginning the deployment of CHCSII, the
electronic medical record that will improve the quality of care
and documentation for servicemembers. The Committee recommends
$4,000,000 to continue integrating clinical decision support
tools that use coupling technologies into CHCSII.
Alcoholism Research.--The Committee remains concerned about
excessive alcohol consumption among military members.
Alcoholism is a significant factor in suicide and accidental
deaths, as well as lost productivity and health problems.
Research holds the promise of developing more effective
prevention programs and new and better methods for the
treatment of alcoholism. For example, the development of
effective drug therapies for alcoholism requires an improved
understanding of how alcohol changes brain function to produce
craving, loss of control, tolerance, and the alcohol withdrawal
syndrome.

ADDITIONAL ITEMS OF INTEREST

Chiropractic Health Care Benefits Advisory Committee.--The
Committee encourages the Secretary of Defense to convene a
chiropractic health care benefits advisory committee to provide
advice and recommendations regarding the continued development
and implementation of chiropractic health care benefits for
active duty military personnel. The committee recommends that
the advisory committee meet no fewer than three times in each
fiscal year beginning in fiscal year 2005.
Health Professions Loan Repayment Program.--The Committee
strongly encourages the Department to continue to utilize
programs for loan repayment that are separate from the Health
Professions Scholarship and the Financial Assistance Programs.
The Committee understands that dentists, nurses, pharmacists,
psychologists, and optometrists all indicate that greater
targeting of funds for loan repayment enhances recruitment and
retention efforts.
Integrated Pharmacy Programs.--The Committee is pleased
with the efforts of the Tripler Army Medical Center [TAMC] and
the Spark M. Matsunaga VA Medical Center to integrate their
pharmacy services and directs the Assistant Secretary of
Defense (Health Affairs), in cooperation with the Department of
Veterans Affairs, to prepare a report on progress in this
critical area. The report should include the status of the
pharmacy data systems bi-directional interface at Tripler Army
Medical Center and plans to complete the project. In addition,
the report should also detail efforts to integrate pharmacies
beyond data systems integration at TAMC/Matsunaga VA. This
report is to be submitted to the congressional defense
committees before the presentation of the fiscal year 2006
budget estimate.
Nurse Officers-to-Nurse Faculty.--The Committee recognizes
that the current nursing shortage is having an effect on the
quality and efficacy of the entire health care system. The
Committee encourages the creation of a Nurse Officers-to-
Educators Program, modeled after the successful Troops-to-
Teachers Program at the Department of Defense, to place
qualified nurse military veterans into educator positions in
accredited schools of nursing.
Post-Doctoral Education.--The Committee continues to be
supportive of postdoctoral training in health psychology and
notes the successes and merits of the progress being made at
Tripler Army Medical Center. The Department of Defense is
encouraged to consolidate postdoctoral training efforts for
psychologists in those military medical centers where
independent departments of psychology exist and to lengthen it
to a 2-year program, where appropriate.
Graduate Professional Education.--The Committee continues
its strong support of equitable distribution of Department of
Defense funds for graduate professional education to all health
professions, including nursing.
Nurse Accession Bonus.--The Committee remains concerned
that despite the nursing shortage, the Department has yet to
increase accession bonuses for nurses in the services, which
currently is the lowest of any of the health professions at
$5,000. In order to attract the best and the brightest, this
amount must be increased, and the Committee urges the
Department to remedy this inequity.
Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists.--The Committee
reiterates its strong support of the current scope of practice
of military Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists [CRNAs] to
practice as licensed independent providers of anesthesia care.
Pediatric Emergency Medical Services.--The Committee
expresses its strong support for pediatric-specific EMS
training and equipment related to hospital preparedness. The
Committee urges the Secretary of Defense to ensure that
Military Treatment Facilities maintain these initiatives in
recognition of the unique emergency medical needs of children.
Behavioral Research in the Military Service Laboratories.--
The Committee recognizes that psychological scientists address
a broad range of important issues and problems vital to our
national security through the military research laboratories.
Given the increasingly complex demands on our military
personnel, psychological research on leadership, decision-
making under stress, cognitive readiness, training, and human-
technology interactions have become even more mission-critical.
The Committee strongly encourages the service laboratories to
reverse cuts made to their behavioral research programs.
Tobacco Use Cessation.--Tobacco use cost the Defense
Department hundreds of millions of dollars every year in
medical cost and lost productivity. While the Department has
established ambitious goals to decrease the use of tobacco
products, it has not aggressively pursued suggested pilot
programs and not yet incorporated smoking cessation in TRICARE
Prime benefits even though such preventative care saves money.
The Committee urges the Department to expedite availability of
tobacco use prevention and cessation programs to all personnel.

Chemical Agents and Munitions Destruction, Army

Appropriations, 2004.................................... $1,500,261,000
Budget estimate, 2005................................... 1,371,990,000
Committee recommendation................................ 1,373,990,000

The Committee recommends an appropriation of
$1,373,990,000. This is $2,000,000 above the budget estimate.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED ADJUSTMENTS

The following table details the adjustments recommended by
the Committee:

The budget request included $1,371,990,000 for the Chemical
Agents and Munitions Destruction, Army appropriation. This is a
decrease of $128,271,000 below the fiscal year 2004
appropriated level.
The Department of Defense elected to reduce overall funding
for the chemical demilitarization program despite the increased
activities associated with the commencement of GB agent
operations at Pine Bluff Chemical Agent Disposal Facility and
Umatilla Chemical Agent Disposal Facility later this year. In
addition to the additional activities planned for the Chemical
Stockpile Disposal Project [CSDP], contractor labor costs at
CDSP sites increase by $534,000,000. To finance partially the
CSDP cost growth the Office of the Secretary of Defense reduced
by $147,000,000 planned fiscal year 2005 funding for Assembled
Chemical Weapons Alternatives [ACWA] program activities at the
Pueblo Chemical Agent Destruction Pilot Plant. The decision to
reduce the funding requested for ACWA was made despite the fact
that in 2002 the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition,
Technology and Logistics directed the Army and ACWA to
accelerate destruction of the chemical weapons stockpile at
Pueblo. Estimated carryover for the Chemical Agents and
Munitions Destruction, Army appropriation from fiscal year 2004
to 2005 should exceed $140,000,000. The Committee recommends a
decrease of $50,000,000 for operation and maintenance
carryover.
The ACWA program remains a priority of the Committee.
During fiscal year 2005 the Department is expected to complete
the design and earliest stage of construction at Pueblo. To
restore this facility to its original schedule, the Committee
recommends additional funding of $50,000,000 under research and
development for Pueblo, Colorado.

Drug Interdiction and Counter-Drug Activities, Defense

Appropriations, 2004.................................... $835,616,000
Budget estimate, 2005................................... 852,697,000
Committee recommendation................................ 908,797,000

The Committee recommends an appropriation of $908,797,000.
This is $56,100,000 above the budget estimate.

Appropriations, 2004.................................... $8,000,000
Budget estimate, 2005................................... 8,000,000
Committee recommendation................................ 8,000,000

The Committee recommends an appropriation of $8,000,000.
This is equal to the budget estimate.
The Committee has reviewed the Department of Defense report
(required by Senate Report 108-87) on the long term solvency of
the National Security Education Trust Fund, and remains very
concerned about the National Security Education Program's
[NSEP] funding status.
The Committee agrees with the report's conclusion that the
Trust Fund will be depleted after fiscal year 2005, and that
NSEP should be funded with a direct appropriation from the
general fund starting in fiscal year 2006. It is appropriate
for NSEP to be funded under the National Defense University
line in the Operation and Maintenance, Defense-Wide account.
The Committee directs the Department of Defense to request
a direct appropriation from the general fund for NSEP with the
fiscal year 2006 budget estimate, and to submit any required
legislative language dissolving the Trust Fund.
Finally, the Committee is aware of the Department's
language training transformation initiatives, and directs the
Department to develop a comprehensive strategic plan for these
efforts. This plan should include a detailed analysis of NSEP's
role in any such transformation, including the congressionally
authorized National Flagship Language Initiative, and should
set forth the full budgetary requirements for the Department's
language transformation efforts in the out-years. Further, the
Committee directs the Department to report on this plan in
writing to the congressional defense committees before
presentation of the fiscal year 2006 budget estimate.

OVERVIEW

On May 12, 2004 the President submitted a budget amendment
for the Department of Defense, requesting $25,000,000,000 in
the Iraq Freedom Fund as a contingent emergency reserve. The
Department of Defense developed this recommendation following
discussions with our commanders in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Developments on the ground and uncertainty when Congress would
be in session to consider a fiscal year 2005 supplemental
indicated that the availability of a reserve fund may be
necessary to ensure there is no disruption in funding and
resources for our armed forces.
This contingent emergency reserve fund would be available
only after a subsequent request by the President that
designates all or some of the funds as an emergency and
essential to operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. The cost of
continued operations of the next year cannot be estimated with
precision at this time. The contingent emergency reserve fund
would be accessed should there be a need for additional
resources. The Committee understands that the Administration
plans to submit a full supplemental request in early 2005 when
the Department of Defense will have better information on
required resources. Until then, the contingent emergency
reserve fund ensures that our troops will have the necessary
resources when they need them. Funds spent from the reserve
would reduce the cost of a full fiscal year 2005 supplemental
request.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

The Committee fully supports the President's request for a
$25,000,000,000 contingent emergency reserve fund, and commends
the Administration for submitting this request. Some level of
contingency operations funding is clearly required early in
fiscal year 2005, to avoid absorbing the incremental costs of
increased military operations by disrupting base programs and
forcing the cancellation or deferral of planned operational
activities.
The Committee recommends providing $25,000,000,000,
available upon enactment, as a contingent emergency reserve in
the Iraq Freedom Fund [IFF]. The Iraq Freedom Fund, a transfer
account created by the Congress in the Emergency Wartime
Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2003 (Public Law 108-11)
provides necessary financial flexibility and ensures proper
congressional oversight. By initially providing resources in
the IFF, instead of providing resources in established
appropriation accounts, the Committee seeks to be consistent
with the Administration's request for a contingent emergency
reserve fund that would be used only as needed.
After a budget request and required emergency designation
by the President, the Committee recommendation would, by
directed transfer from the IFF, provide $22,500,000,000 to
established appropriation accounts.
The Committee has maintained a statutory requirements for
5-day advance Congressional notification to Congress before
making any transfer from the IFF, and a quarterly reporting
requirement on the use of funds.

MILITARY PERSONNEL

The Committee recommends $504,600,000 for the military
personnel accounts. Of this amount, the Committee recommends
$126,600,000 for the purpose of increasing Family Separation
Allowance from $100 to $250 per month and Imminent Danger Pay
from $150 to $225 per month. In addition, the Committee
recommends $378,000,000 to support increased Army end strength
as provided in S. 2400, National Defense Authorization Act for
Fiscal Year 2005. Further, the Committee provides $227,000,000
within this title to support operation and maintenance costs
associated with increased Army end strength.
The following table provides details of the recommendation
for the military personnel accounts:

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

The Committee recommends $17,595,400,000 for the operation
and maintenance accounts. Of the total funding in Title IX, the
Committee has provided almost three-quarters of the funding in
the various operation and maintenance accounts, as these are
the accounts most under strain when financing contingency
military operations.
These funds are available to fund military operations by
the services and Special Operations Forces to include financing
flying hours, ship steaming days, ground operations, special
airlift missions, increased ship and aircraft maintenance,
logistics support, fuel purchases, base support, civilian
personnel, personnel support costs, overseas transportation,
communications support, facility management and other operation
and maintenance requirements.

for the operation and maintenance accounts:

Reservists Pay Security Act of 2004.--The Committee
recognizes that S. 2400, National Defense Authorization Act for
Fiscal Year 2005, includes the Reservists Pay Security Act of
2004. This provides for a nonreduction in pay while a Federal
employee is mobilized to perform active service as a member of
the National Guard or Reserve. Should this provision be adopted
in the conference on the defense authorization bill, the
Committee directs the Department of Defense to absorb the costs
of this new civilian personnel benefit from within funds
provided.

PROCUREMENT

The Committee recommends $2,304,000,000 for the procurement
accounts. Of this amount, the Committee recommends
$1,750,000,000 to fund the Army's most urgently required
procurement needs, including improving force protection,
accelerating Army modularity, and procuring essential equipment
and munitions. In addition, the Committee recommends
$554,000,000 to fund the Marine Corps' most urgently required
procurement needs, including improving force protection, and
procuring essential equipment and munitions.

Rapid Response Force Protection Initiative.--The Committee
notes with great interest the recent increase in spending for
Up Armored High Mobility Multi-purpose Wheeled Vehicles [UAHs].
The Committee also believes that an increased buy of UAHs is
not the only solution to increased protection for our deployed
soldiers in the field. In the interest of expanding force
protection options at the disposal of theater commanders, the
Committee strongly encourages the Army to explore increased
flexibility with regard to force protection. For example,
individual situations may warrant different responses in the
way of armored protection for deployed soldiers. Additional
convoy protection may be best served by not only one single
variant of armored vehicle, but by a combination of both heavy
and light vehicles. These vehicles may include UAHs, armored
personnel carriers (M-113A2/3) with armor kits, bolt-on armor
kits, applied up-armoring systems, armored cabs, or armored
security vehicles [ASV]. Therefore, the Committee recommends an
additional $865,000,000 to be used by the Army for the purpose
of rapid response to force protection. It is the intent of the
Committee that this appropriation shall be used to purchase and
modify such vehicles as are needed to respond rapidly and
dynamically to the threat presented due to IEDs and mortar
attacks currently experienced by deployed U.S. forces. Such
procurements shall include UAHs, armor bolt-on kits for M-
113A2/3 armored personnel carriers, bolt-on armor kits, applied
up-armoring systems, armored cabs, or armored security
vehicles. The Secretary of the Army shall provide a report to
the congressional defense committees detailing all expenditures
made using these funds.

DEFENSE HEALTH PROGRAM

The Committee recommends $746,000,000 for the Defense
Health Program. These funds are for incremental wartime
operating expenses in the military medical system, including
additional health care costs that result from mobilizing
members of the reserve components. Also, the recommendation
provides funds for 5 months of enhanced TRICARE benefits for
members of the National Guard and Reserve as included in S.
2400, National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2005.
These enhanced benefits include the extension of pre-deployment
and post-deployment eligibility for TRICARE, and the enrollment
of non-active duty status reservists into TRICARE on a cost
sharing basis.

CLASSIFIED PROGRAMS

The Committee recommends $1,250,000,000 for classified
programs, described in further detail in the classified annex.

IRAQI CAPTURED ENEMY AMMUNITION

The Committee recommends $100,000,000 for the purpose of
securing and destroying conventional munitions in Iraq.
As of June 11, 2004, approximately 340,000 tons of enemy
ammunition have been discovered in Iraq and Coalition Forces
are discovering additional weapons caches on almost a daily
basis. Currently, captured ammunition is stored at 58 sites
throughout the country. Of these sites, there are 15 secured
sites and 43 partially secured sites. The Committee is
extremely concerned about reports that weapons, ammunition and
explosives at many of the partially secured sites are easily
accessible to enemy combatants that have the means to load and
transport them. To address this serious issue, the Committee
provides $100,000,000 to consolidate, secure, demilitarize and
account for Captured Enemy Ammunition [CEA] in Iraq. The
Department of Defense should consult with the Iraqi Interim
Government to ensure that this initiative is fully coordinated
between the two countries. In addition, the Committee directs
the Director of the Office of Management in Budget [OMB] to
conduct an inter-agency review to assess and establish the best
approaches and identify innovative technology solutions for
accomplishing the goal of securing and demilitarizing CEA in
Iraq. This review is to be conducted in consultation with the
Chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff and other Executive Branch
Agencies. Further, the Committee directs OMB to report the
findings of this review to the congressional defense committees
no later than November 15, 2004.

FUNDING SHORTFALLS

The Committee understands the tremendous financial burden
the Global War on Terrorism has placed upon the Department and
recommends that of the funds provided in Title IX up to
$740,000,000 may be used for the Defense Working Capital Funds
to address increased fuel costs, up to $100,000,000 may be used
to purchase equipment for the National Guard and Reserve, and
up to $100,000,000 may be used for United States Coast Guard
operations in support of the Department of Defense in Iraq and
Afghanistan.

REPORTING REQUIREMENTS

The Committee is disappointed by the responsiveness of the
Defense Department in reports required under Public Law 108-11,
Public Law 108-106, and Public Law 108-87. While recent
reporting has been better, on balance, the reports lack details
and arrive significantly later than required. Many are still
outstanding. Reports such as the quarterly reports for the Iraq
Freedom Fund and quarterly reports for the Commanders Emergency
Response Fund have lacked sufficient detail for the Committees'
oversight responsibilities.
Therefore, the Committee directs the Department to include
meaningful detail beyond the appropriation account and sub-
activity group to describe the purposes and specific use of
funding in all reports submitted to the Committee. The
Committee expects that these reports will be completed and
delivered to the Committee by the proposed due dates and the
reports will detail the projects, operations, equipment,
personnel, and benefits funded through these accounts.

General Provisions, Title IX

Sec. 9001. Funds for Support of Coalition Forces.--Retains
and modifies a provision carried in previous years.
Sec. 9002. Funds for Assistance to Iraqi and Afghan
Armies.--Modifies a provision carried in previous years.
Sec. 9003. Commander's Emergency Response Program.--Retains
a provision that provides authority for the CERP.
Sec. 9004. Afghan Freedom Support Act.--Retains and
modifies a provision carried in previous years.

carried in previous years.

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

Paragraph 7 of rule XVI requires that Committee reports on
general appropriations bills identify each Committee amendment
to the House bill ``which proposes an item of appropriation
which is not made to carry out the provisions of an existing
law, a treaty stipulation, or an act or resolution previously
passed by the Senate during that session.''
At the point when the Committee reports this measure, the
Congress has not completed action on the Fiscal Year 2005
Defense Authorization Act. As a consequence, the Committee has
acted in good faith in its attempt to comply fully with
requirements stipulated under paragraph 7, rule XVI.
The Committee anticipates that Congress will authorize the
amounts appropriated in this act.

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

Pursuant to paragraph 7(c) of rule XXVI, on June 22, 2004,
the Committee ordered reported S. 2559, an original bill making
appropriations for the Department of Defense for the fiscal
year ending September 30, 2005, subject to amendment, by a
unanimous voice vote, a quorum being present.

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

Paragraph 12 of rule XXVI requires that Committee reports
on a bill or joint resolution repealing or amending any statute
or part of any statute include ``(a) the text of the statute or
part thereof which is proposed to be repealed; and (b) a
comparative print of that part of the bill or joint resolution
making the amendment and of the statute or part thereof
proposed to be amended, showing by stricken-through type and
italics, parallel columns, or other appropriate typographical
devices the omissions and insertions which would be made by the
bill or joint resolution if enacted in the form recommended by
the committee.''
With respect to this bill, it is the opinion of the
Committee that it is necessary to dispense with these
requirements in order to expedite the business of the Senate.
