JOINT EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

DIVISION A

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE APPROPRIATIONS ACT, 2007

The managers on the part of the House and the Senate at
the conference on the disagreeing votes of the two Houses on
the amendment of the Senate to the bill (H.R. 5631), making
appropriations for the Department of Defense for the fiscal
year ending September 30, 2007, and for other purposes, submit
the following joint statement to the House and the Senate in
explanation of the effect of the action agreed upon by the
managers and recommended in the accompanying conference report.
The conference agreement on the Department of Defense
Appropriations Act, 2007, incorporates some of the provisions
of the House and Senate versions of the bill. Additional items
in the Senate bill are expected to be addressed in the Military
Construction, Military Quality of Life and Veterans Affairs
Appropriations Act, 2007. The language and allocations set
forth in House Report 109-504 and Senate Report 109-292 (as
they apply to the programs, projects, and activities contained
in the accompanying conference report) should be complied with
unless specifically addressed in the accompanying conference
report and statement of managers to the contrary.
The Senate amendment deleted the entire House bill after
the enacting clause and inserted new language. The conference
agreement includes revised language.

Definition of Program, Project, and Activity

The conferees agree that for the purposes of the Balanced
Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 (Public Law
99-177) as amended by the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit
Control Reaffirmation Act of 1987 (Public Law 100-119) and by
the Budget Enforcement Act of 1990 (Public Law 101-508), the
term program, project, and activity for appropriations
contained in this Act shall be defined as the most specific
level of budget items identified in the Department of Defense
Appropriations Act, 2007, the accompanying House and Senate
Committee reports, the conference report and accompanying joint
explanatory statement of the managers of the Committee of
Conference, the related classified annexes and reports, and the
P-1 and R-1 budget justification documents as subsequently
modified by Congressional action. The following exception to
the above definition shall apply: for the Military Personnel
and the Operation and Maintenance accounts, the term ``program,
project, and activity'' is defined as the appropriations
accounts contained in the Department of Defense Appropriations
Act.
At the time the President submits his budget for fiscal
year 2008, the conferees direct the Department of Defense to
transmit to the congressional defense committees budget
justification documents to be known as the ``M-1'' and ``O-1''
which shall identify, at the budget activity, activity group,
and subactivity group level, the amounts requested by the
President to be appropriated to the Department of Defense for
military personnel and operation and maintenance in any budget
request, or amended budget request, for fiscal year 2008.

Classified Annex

Adjustments to classified programs are addressed in the
classified annex accompanying this report.

Reserve Component's Budget Structure Change

The conferees agree to extend last year's test of a
consolidated budget structure for the Reserve Component's
military personnel accounts through fiscal year 2007. In order
to provide visibility of the movement of funds within the
accounts, the conferees direct each of the Reserve Components
to provide a quarterly report to the congressional defense
committees and the Government Accountability Office (GAO)
showing transfers between line items within the military
personnel appropriations. The report format will provide
separate explanations for all transfers in and out of each
appropriation line item that equal, exceed, or cumulate to
$5,000,000. Reports will provide a beginning and ending total
by line item and will be due 30 days following the end of each
quarter. Reserve Component fiscal year 2008 budget requests for
military personnel will be submitted using the two budget
activity structure.

Army National Guard Combat Brigades

The conferees are concerned about the Department of
Defense's proposal to reduce 7 Army combat brigades from the
level assumed under previous plans. Most of the change would
occur in the Army National Guard's force structure plans; the
Guard would field 28 combat brigades instead of 34 proposed
previously. The conferees' review of this proposal indicates
that the National Guard will have difficulty meeting its force
generation and state security requirements with only 28 combat
brigades. As the Department of the Army continues its
examination of combat brigade requirements, the conferees
strongly urge that this examination be conducted with the full
participation and cooperation of both active and Guard
officials at all levels. Moreover, the conferees will closely
follow this issue over the coming months and will seek to
ensure that sufficient funding is provided to field the number
of Guard combat brigades necessary to meet its force generation
and state security requirements. As such, the conferees provide
additional funding (described in other sections of this report)
to fully fund the Army National Guard authorized end strength
level of 350,000 and to purchase additional equipment.

Travel Expenditures

The conferees wish to ensure that the Department of
Defense is making every effort to come into compliance with the
Improper Payments Act regarding travel expenditures. The
conferees note that the Department has invested significant
resources in the Defense Travel System (DTS), which should
enable the Department to reduce improper travel payments and
accurately report improper payments when they occur. The
conferees are concerned that the Department currently reports
improper payments on only a portion of its unclassified budget.
The conferees therefore direct the Government Accountability
Office to assess the reasons why the Department is not fully in
compliance with the Improper Payments Act and make
recommendations for measures the Department can put in place to
comply with the Act. The report should be provided to the
congressional defense committees no later than May 31, 2007.

Special Operations Combat Medic Training Program

United States Army Special Operations Command (USASOC) to
abruptly terminate its partnership with one of three facilities
participating in the Special Operations Combat Medic (SOCM)
training program, notwithstanding recent commendation for the
facility's continued support of the program. The conferees
believe this decision may be unfounded and hastily made without
substantive justification. Furthermore, it eliminates from the
SOCM program the unique, individualized, hands-on training
offered by this facility. The conferees believe this program
has been critical to force protection and is vital to war-
fighters currently engaged in hostile environments abroad. The
conferees encourage USASOC to continue the Special Operations
Medic Training Program at all three facilities, and to do so in
a manner consistent with the previous two fiscal years, so as
to continue providing our troops with capable and skilled
Special Operations medics.

Defense Security Service

The conference agreement provides $8,000,000 above the
budget request for the Defense Security Service (DSS) to assist
in the timely processing of industry Personnel Security
Investigations. The conferees expect the Department of Defense
to resolve the budgetary problems facing the DSS and to report
to the congressional defense committees on plans to more
accurately build future DSS budget submissions not later than
90 days after enactment of this Act.

Depleted Uranium Sensing and Treatment for Removal Program

The conferees understand depleted uranium is critical for
use in applications such as armor penetrators and armor plates,
providing a substantial performance advantage over other
materials. Depleted uranium, however, is a low-level
radioactive heavy metal and concerns exist about potential
health effects from its use in military operations. The
conferees appreciate Department of Defense efforts in
developing methods for depleted uranium contamination removal
and are aware of the Depleted Uranium Sensing and Treatment for
Removal program. The conferees direct the Department to provide
an assessment of the Depleted Uranium Sensing and Treatment for
Removal program to the congressional defense committees no
later than December 31, 2006, which addresses current research
and development efforts, progress to date and merits of the
program.

ThanksUSA

The ThanksUSA Program provides post-secondary
scholarships for the spouses and dependents of active duty
military personnel. The conferees believe this is a commendable
model of public-private partnerships and fully support the
educational and retention objectives of this program. The
conferees encourage ThanksUSA to continue to develop sources of
private and matching funding for this worthwhile cause to
ensure future scholarship availability for these deserving
military family members.

Oil Refineries

When making public contract announcements regarding the
refining of fuel by U.S. companies, the U.S. Department of
Defense should not provide the name of the country for which
the fuel is being refined or the location of the facility that
will refine the fuel.

Personnel Identification and Authentication

The conferees recognize the criticality of controlling
access to our military installations. It is imperative for
force protection and the security of our facilities that only
those individuals with legitimate need and proper
identification should gain access to installations. The
conferees are aware of various initiatives across the
Department of Defense to employ systems that provide for
authentication of identification credentials at installation
gates. Such systems have been developed by both the private
sector and DoD components. In order to ensure that the
Department takes a coherent approach that delivers best value
solutions for this important force protection role, the
conferees expect DoD and the services to develop a
comprehensive set of requirements to use as the basis for full
and open competition.

Air Defense Mission

The conferees support having the 144th Fighter Wing of
the Air National Guard perform the air defense mission over the
southwestern sector of the United States and the Air Defense
Main Operating Base located in Fresno, California. The
conferees understand that this is the only dedicated air
defense fighter wing in the southwest and that the Air Force
has no replacement aircraft scheduled for the 144th Fighter
Wing after fiscal year 2012. The conferees direct the Secretary
of the Air Force to submit a report to the congressional
defense committees outlining a plan for an air defense mission
that continues this capability for the 144th Fighter Wing using
the Air Defense Main Operating Base in Fresno beyond fiscal
year 2012.

UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE ARMED FORCES

The conference agreement provides $11,721,000 for the
United States Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces.

OVERSEAS HUMANITARIAN, DISASTER, AND CIVIC AID

The conference agreement provides $63,204,000 for
Overseas Humanitarian, Disaster, and Civic Aid.

FORMER SOVIET UNION THREAT REDUCTION ACCOUNT

The conference agreement provides $372,128,000 for the
Former Soviet Union Threat Reduction Account.

Special Interest Items

Items for which additional funds have been provided as
shown in the project level tables or in paragraphs using the
phrase ``only for'' or ``only to'' in this report are
congressional interest items for the purpose of the Base for
Reprogramming (DD 1414). Each of these items must be carried on
the DD Form 1414 at the stated amount, specifically addressed
in the conference report. These items remain special interest
items whether or not they are repeated in a subsequent
conference report.

Reprogramming Guidance for Acquisition Accounts

The conferees direct the Department of Defense to
continue to follow the reprogramming guidance specified in the
report accompanying the House version of the fiscal year 2006
Department of Defense Appropriations bill (H.R. 109-119).
Specifically, the dollar threshold for reprogramming funds will
remain at $20,000,000 for procurement, and $10,000,000 for
research, development, test and evaluation. The Department
shall continue to follow the limitation that prior approval
reprogrammings are set at either the specified dollar threshold
or 20% of the procurement or research, development, test and
evaluation line, whichever is less. These thresholds are
cumulative. Therefore, if the combined value of transfers into
or out of a procurement (P-1) or research, development, test
and evaluation (R-1) line exceeds the identified threshold, the
Department of Defense must submit a prior approval
reprogramming to the congressional defense committees. In
addition, guidelines on the application of prior approval
reprogramming procedures for congressional special interest
items are established elsewhere in this report.

Reprogramming Reporting Requirements

The conferees direct the Under Secretary of the
Department of Defense, Comptroller, to continue to provide the
congressional defense committees quarterly, spreadsheet-based
DD1416 reports for service and defense-wide accounts in titles
III and IV of this Act as required in the statement of the
managers accompanying the Conference report on the Department
of Defense Appropriations Act, 2006.

Funding Increases

The conferees direct that the funding increases outlined
in these tables shall be provided only for the specific
purposes indicated in the table.

National Guard Procurement

The conferees agree that there is a substantial shortfall
in equipment stocks for the National Guard, and that this
shortfall is detrimental to Guard units being able to meet
their dual-role mission of supplementing active duty forces
overseas as well as responding to emergencies at home. The
conferees are concerned that equipment budgeted annually for
the National Guard could be diverted to other budget areas and
nonReserve units, and therefore direct the Department of
Defense to submit to the congressional defense committees not
later than nine months after the enactment of this Act, a
report on how the Department has obligated funds and provided
the equipment designated for the National Guard in the budget
submission and accompanying justification materials.

Container Roll In--Roll Out Platform (M3 CROP)

The conferees strongly urge the Secretary of the Army to
allocate sufficient funding from amounts available under this
heading to ensure the continuation of the program to procure
the Container Roll In--Roll Out Platform (M3 CROP) in order to
expedite logistical support to the warfighter.

MK-46/MK-54 Mods

The conferees agree to provide $85,905,000 for MK-46/MK-
54 Mods. This is a reduction of $15,000,000 below the budget
request due to fluctuating procurement quantities. The
conferees understand that this funding will be sufficient to
procure 160 MK-54 torpedo kits. The conferees are concerned
about the inconsistent annual procurement quantities for this
important program over the current Future Years Defense Plan.
The conferees encourage the Navy to review this over the coming
year and consider a more consistent annual rate, to provide
manufacturing stability and lower unit costs.

DDG-1000 Program

The conferees agree to provide $2,568,111,000 for the
DDG-1000 (formerly DDX) Destroyer Program, and agree to delete
language proposed by the House requiring full funding of a
single lead ship. The effect of the conference agreement would
allow the Navy to split fund twin lead ships of the DDG-1000
class, if authorized in separate legislation by the Congress.
This action is being taken based upon the expectation that the
total cost of these two ships is well understood and low risk.
The conferees are willing to make this one-time exception to
the full funding principle because of the unique situation with
the shipbuilding industrial base and with the DDG-1000 program.
The conferees will not entertain future requests to fund ships
other than under the full funding principle, except for those
historically funded in this manner (aircraft carriers and some
large deck amphibious ships).
The unusual procurement of twin lead ships raises the
risk that future design changes or production problems will
impact two ships under construction simultaneously. This could
raise costs significantly compared to other lead ship programs.
However, the Navy believes the cost and schedule risk in the
DDG-1000 program is low enough to permit the twin lead ship
acquisition strategy. The Navy has identified the total cost to
procure the twin lead ships of the DDG-1000 class as
$6,582,200,000. The conferees insist that the Navy manage this
program within that total cost, and will be unlikely to
increase funding through a reprogramming or an additional
budget request except in the case of emergency, natural
disaster, or other impact arising from outside the Navy's
shipbuilding program.

Ship Insulation

The conferees understand that the insulation material
currently under consideration for use in future ships has not
been fully evaluated for safety. The conferees believe that any
new materials should be at least as safe as those materials
currently in use and recommend that insulating materials that
do not meet the weight, smoke generation, toxicity and other
safety criteria should not be used in ship construction.

Completion of Prior Year Shipbuilding Programs

The conference agreement provides $512,849,000 for the
completion of prior year shipbuilding programs. The reduction
of $65,000,000 from the budget estimate shall be allocated as
shown below:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Conference
Program Budget estimate agreement Reduction
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CVN-77................................................. $348,400,000 $318,400,000 -$30,000,000
LPD-20................................................. 65,049,000 60,049,000 -5,000,000

SSN-777................................................ 48,000,000 28,000,000 -20,000,000
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Weapons Range Support Equipment

The reduction of $1,665,000 in this program element
deletes funding for the East Coast Undersea Warfare Training
Range (USWTR). The House had proposed no funding for this
project. None of the reduction is to be allocated against the
Southern California ASW Range (SOAR) or the Barking Sands
Underwater Range Expansion (BSURE) projects. In addition, the
conferees direct that no fiscal year 2007 or prior year funding
be obligated for the East Coast USWTR project except for
activities directly associated with the National Environmental
Policy Act (NEPA) process. The conferees further direct the
Navy to clearly identify funding for the East Coast USWTR in
future budget submissions.

Joint Strike Fighter

The conference agreement provides $480,000,000 in
Aircraft Procurement, Air Force, for the procurement of 2
conventional take-off and landing (CTOL) variant F-35 Joint
Strike Fighters in fiscal year 2007. In addition, $94,000,000
is provided for advance procurement of 6 CTOL variants in
fiscal year 2008. The conference agreement also provides
$125,000,000 in Aircraft Procurement, Navy, for advance
procurement of 6 short take-off and vertical landing (STOVL)
variants. Combined, these quantities will allow F-35 production
to continue to ramp up, but at a more modest rate and with less
program risk than the program requested by the Department.

F-22A Raptor Procurement

The conference agreement includes authority for a
multiyear procurement of 60 F-22A aircraft, beginning with 20
fully funded aircraft in fiscal year 2007. The conferees
anticipate that the Department will budget for two subsequent
lots of 20 aircraft in fiscal years 2008 and 2009. To enable
this strategy, $210,000,000 of additional funds provided by
both the House and the Senate were realigned from the F-22A
budget line to the F-22A Advance Procurement line to provide
the required funds for economic order quantity items, bringing
the total budget for Advance Procurement to $687,404,000. The
conferees expect that the Department of the Air Force will
continue to seek improved efficiencies in this program.

F-15 Advanced Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) Radars

The conference agreement provides $72,000,000 to procure
and install Advanced Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radars
only for the Air National Guard F-15C fleet. The Department of
Defense is strongly encouraged to develop a plan for keeping
the F-15 inventory updated with current technologies for its
expected active service life.

Minuteman III Propulsion Replacement Program

The conference agreement provides $651,257,000 for
Minuteman III modifications, including modifications to replace
the missile propulsion system. The conferees disagree with
proposals to terminate the program after fiscal year 2007 and
expect that the Department of Defense will budget for the
remaining requirements identified in the fiscal year 2007
budget justifications in the fiscal year 2008 budget
submission.

Global Positioning System (GPS)

The budget request includes $97,182,000 in missile
procurement with an additional $43,259,000 in advance
procurement for GPS vehicles 16 through 18. The conferees note
that the GPS IIF program has been troubled by cost growth and
significant delays, and the Department of Defense has chosen
not to pursue vehicles 13 through 18. Consequently, the
conferees recommend $85,882,000 in missile procurement and no
funding in advance procurement, a reduction of $11,300,000 and
$43,259,000 respectively.
The conferees share the Department's concerns regarding
the short-term risk associated with the current constellation,
and also the long-term risk of gaps in capability, especially
as the country moves toward a transition to the GPS III system.
The conferees note that, in general, on-orbit models of GPS are
living longer than expected. Accordingly, the conferees believe
that through proper constellation planning and management, and
launching based on constellation need rather than on payload
delivery, the Department can strike the right balance between
short and long-term risks with the goal of maximizing
constellation coverage. Therefore, the conferees encourage the
Department to use this strategy in order to minimize risk and
maximize coverage as it endeavors to maintain the current
constellation, complete the development and fielding of the GPS
IIF satellites, and transition to the new GPS III satellites.

Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle (EELV)

The budget request includes $936,490,000 for EELV. The
conferees recommend $856,490,000, a reduction of $80,000,000,
and intend to monitor the balance between risk and return for
costs and activities associated with launch preparation and
capability. The conferees believe the Air Force should
challenge the national launch government and industry team to
develop and implement a strategy to eliminate unnecessary
practices and excessive costs while protecting the viability of
the program.
Additionally, the conferees maintain interest in
execution of the acquisition strategy for the Buy-3 contract.
The conferees direct the Department of the Air Force to adopt
acquisition practices for space launch relative to the EELV
program that will maximize economic efficiencies through fiscal
year 2010. Further, the conferees support open competition for
launch services from qualified bidders. Therefore, the
conferees direct the Department to create, adopt, and promote a
set of criteria by which new entrants might more readily
qualify for the EELV program, including opportunities to
compete for demonstration launches, which will facilitate
competition and promote assured access.

National Guard and Reserve Equipment

The conferees agree that National Guard and Reserve
forces are integral to our efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan and
play a critical role in our Nation's response to national
disasters. The conferees are aware that the equipment needs of
our Reserve Component forces far exceed the amounts provided in
the budget request and agree to provide an additional
$290,000,000 for miscellaneous equipment for ``National Guard
and Reserve Equipment'' as identified above.

Items of Special Interest

The conferees agree that the National Guard and Reserve
equipment program shall be executed by the heads of the Guard
and Reserve components with priority consideration for
miscellaneous equipment appropriations given to the following
items as identified in Senate Report 109-292: Mobile Approach
Control System, Virtual Warrior Interactive Program, Block 42
F-16 Upgrades, Flex Train Combat Training, Battlefield Mobility
Enhancers [MGators], M777A1 Lightweight 155mm Howitzers, Joint
Threat Emitters, Line Haul Trucks, Thunder Radar Pod, Virtual
Door Gunners, and Communications Equipment.

Defense Production Act Purchases

The conferees agree to provide $63,184,000 for Defense
Production Act Purchases instead of $39,384,000 as proposed by
the House and $68,884,000 as proposed by the Senate.
The conference agreement on items addressed by either the
House or the Senate is as follows:

Special Interest Items

Reprogramming Guidance for Acquisition Accounts

Funding Increases

The conferees direct that the funding increases outlined
in these tables shall be provided only for the specific
purposes indicated in the table.

Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS)

In July 2006, the Department of Defense established a new
management arrangement for the JTRS program. As a result, the
Department of the Navy is now the lead component for JTRS
development. In support of this new arrangement, the conferees
agree to transfer JTRS research and development funding from
the ``Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Army''
account to the ``Research, Development, Test and Evaluation,
Navy'' account. The conferees note the JTRS Joint Program
Executive Office remains in control of JTRS development funding
and must approve any obligation or transfer of execution year
funds for radio development associated with any of the JTRS
program elements.

Prompt Global Strike

The budget request includes $127,000,000 to demonstrate
the feasibility of using existing TRIDENT II (D-5) missiles
with conventional payloads to provide a prompt global strike
capability. The conferees believe that fundamental issues about
the requirement for and use of this weapon must be addressed
prior to determining the efficacy of this program. Therefore,
the conferees are providing $5,000,000 in Research,
Development, Test and Evaluation, Defense-Wide for a study to
be conducted by the National Academy of Sciences to analyze the
mission requirement and, where appropriate, consider and
recommend alternatives that meet the prompt global strike
mission in the near term (1-2 years), the mid-term (3-5 years),
and the long term. The study should include analyses of the
military, political and international issues associated with
each alternative. The study should consider technology options
for achieving desired objectives as well as mitigating policy
concerns. The study is due to the congressional defense
committees by March 15, 2007. In addition, the conferees are
providing $20,000,000 in Research, Development, Test and
Evaluation, Navy for developmental efforts under the
Conventional Trident Modification program. These funds should
be used to focus on those developmental items which are common
to all the global strike alternatives until the completion of
the study and a determination has been made on the best course
of action in this matter.

Joint Strike Fighter Alternate Engine Development and Cost Analysis

The conferees recommend an additional $170,000,000 in
Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Air Force and
$170,000,000 in Research, Development, Test and Evaluation,
Navy for continuing development of the F-136 engine for the
Joint Strike Fighter program. The conferees direct the Under
Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics
to sponsor a comprehensive independent cost analysis of the
Joint Strike Fighter engine program. The conferees strongly
encourage the analysis be conducted by the Institute for
Defense Analyses (IDA). This analysis shall include but not be
limited to: (1) a comparison of costs associated with the
development of the F-135 and F-136 engines; (2) an evaluation
of potential savings achieved by eliminating or continuing the
development and production of an alternate engine over the
program's life cycle; and (3) the potential effects on the
industrial base of eliminating or continuing the development
and production of an alternate engine over the program's life
cycle. This analysis shall be transmitted to the congressional
defense committees not later than March 15, 2007.
The conferees in no way intend for this analysis to be an
excuse for the Department of Defense not to fully fund the
development of both the F-135 and the F-136 engines in fiscal
year 2008. All evidence suggests that the development of two
alternate engines will lead to cost savings through
competition, increased capabilities for the warfighter, and a
strengthened industrial base. Accordingly, the conferees direct
the Department of Defense to fund the continued development of
both the engines in the fiscal year 2008 budget submission
while this cost analysis is ongoing.

Department of Defense Biometrics Programs

The conferees reaffirm the authority of the Secretary of
the Army as Executive Agent for all biometrics within the
Department of Defense under Public Law 106-246, and encourage
the Department of Defense to designate a Principal Staff
Assistant to define policy, architecture, and interagency
cooperation. The conferees look forward to receiving the final
report of the Defense Science Board study on biometrics and
receiving the associated recommendations of the Secretary of
Defense by January 15, 2007.

Alternative Fuels

At the behest of Congress, the Air Force initiated
research into developing alternatives to jet fuels in current
use. That research has paid dividends. A recent report from the
Air Force indicates that substituting standard jet fuels (such
as JP-4 and JP-8) with coal-based synthetic fuels and natural
gas derivatives could result in savings of up to two-thirds of
the cost of a gallon of JP-8. Moreover, the Air Force research
shows that these alternative fuels burn cleaner than standard
jet fuels, a result that portends savings from lower
maintenance and engine replacement costs. In light of these
findings, the Navy reports that it plans to initiate a pilot
program to develop alternative fuels. Given the high costs of
fuel and maintenance, the conferees are encouraged by these
reports and believe that the military services should continue
to pursue alternative fuels research and development. As such,
the conferees encourage the Department to provide sufficient
funding in its fiscal year 2008 and future budget requests to
continue these important research programs.

Specialty Steel Industrial Base

The Department of Defense's demand for iron-based alloy
aviation specialty steels has dramatically increased as a
result of continuing deployments to the overseas theaters of
operation. Today, there is only one domestic supplier for a
unique process which utilizes vacuum inducted melt/vacuum arc
re-melt, the process which gives aviation grade steels their
required properties. These specialty steels are critical to
building high technology U.S. military weapon systems. Further,
there has been a related and dramatic increase in the raw
material needed to make these specialty steels. Lead times for
these raw materials have grown from 3 months to 1 year.
According to the Army, the overall effect on lead times for
spare part deliverables has swelled in some cases to greater
than 24 months. As such, the conferees encourage the Department
of Defense to partner with domestic industry to develop a
greater capacity to meet the delivery requirements for aviation
parts to the military within an acceptable time frame. The
conferees suggest that the Department explore a 50/50 cost
share project between the Federal government, private industry,
and/or state governments as the best means to create this
capacity as rapidly as possible.

Medical Countermeasures Against Acute Radiation Syndrome and Similar
Threats

The conferees recognize that acute radiation syndrome and
other forms of radiation sickness could potentially afflict
forward deployed members of the military, and that currently
there are no effective means of treating individuals exposed to
radiation or a nuclear attack. Therefore, the conferees direct
the Secretary of Defense to submit to the congressional defense
committees a report that outlines a plan for procuring medical
countermeasures that will treat forward deployed service
members against the lethal effects of acute radiation syndrome,
to include neutropenia and thrombocytopenia. This report will
also identify the countermeasures required to protect service
members in the event of a nuclear or bioterrorist attack, a
plan to forward deploy those countermeasures, and an assessment
of costs associated with implementing this plan. This report
should be provided no later than March 15, 2007.

Stryker Upgrades

The conferees are pleased with the performance of the
Stryker armored vehicle in Iraq and encourage the Army to
pursue new technologies and capabilities for the Stryker to
improve the capabilities of the vehicle on the battlefield. The
conferees encourage the Army to pursue these technology
upgrades including an integrated power management system,
increased improvised explosive device and mine blast
protection, improved situational awareness, new brakes and
suspension, and the addition of the XM307 gun, Javelin missile
and target detection capabilities.

Micromanufacturing Processes

The conferees are aware of the growing need for
microdevices and improved micromanufacturing processes to meet
Defense requirements for smart micromachines. Streamlined
micromanufacturing processes will enhance the Department's
development and use of embedded biochemical sensors and
miniature safe-and-arm devices. The Department is encouraged to
work with universities with demonstrated expertise in novel
micromanufacturing processes and equipment.

Corrosion Protection

The Navy spends significant amounts of its fleet
maintenance budget on corrosion protection. The conferees are
aware of important research performed by the Center for
Photochemical Sciences that develops corrosion resistant marine
paint using photo-cure technology. These new photo-cure
technologies can increase corrosion protection while reducing
environmentally harmful emissions. This technology may provide
unique advantages over current materials. The conferees
encourage the Office of Naval Research to consider continued
funding for this important research project.

Tanker Replacement Development Program

The conference agreement provides $70,000,000 for
development of the KC-135 tanker replacement, as opposed to
$203,932,000 as proposed by the House. The Senate provided no
funding for this purpose. The amount provided in the conference
agreement was identified in writing by the Department of
Defense as the level needed to meet all fiscal year 2007
requirements.

B-52 Stand-off Jammer

The conferees note that the Air Force has terminated the
B-52 Stand-off Jammer program for airborne electronic attack
and agree to rescind fiscal year 2006 funds appropriated for
this purpose in a General Provision. However, there remains a
future requirement for a persistent stand-off jamming platform,
despite the longer than originally anticipated service life of
the Navy's re-winged EA-6B fleet. The conferees expect that the
Air Force will reevaluate the future persistent stand-off
jammer requirement in fiscal year 2007 and encourage the
Department to submit a reprogramming request should the Air
Force determine that the B-52 is the proper platform to conduct
this mission.

A-10 Squadrons

The budget request includes $64,000,000 for continued
development of a propulsion upgrade program for the A-10
aircraft. However, since the budget submission, this program
has been terminated by the Air Force. The House provided
$16,771,000 for A-10 Squadrons, a reduction of $64,000,000, due
to the cancellation of the program. The Senate included
$31,971,000, a reduction of $48,800,000. The conferees agree to
provide the Senate amount and expect that the remaining
$15,200,000 identified for the cancelled propulsion upgrade
program will be dedicated to the shortfall in the A-10
precision engagement development program.

Hybrid Fuel Cell Power Systems

The conferees encourage continued development and testing
of hybrid fuel cell power systems for SATCOM systems by the Air
Force's Research Lab--Information Directorate in Rome, New
York. The conferees encourage the Air Force to continue this
important research as it pertains to current and future Air
Force missions.

J-STARS Communication, Navigation, Surveillance and Air Traffic
Management (CNS/ATM)

A significant investment of over $50,000,000 to date has
been made to accomplish the Communication, Navigation,
Surveillance and Air Traffic Management (CNS/ATM) modification
on the E-8C fleet. The fiscal year 2007 budget request includes
$20,000,000 for this effort. The program is on budget, on
schedule, and is meeting its program goals. The conferees
believe CNS/ATM modification is crucial to the long term
sustainment of the E-8C Joint STARS Weapon System to support
current and future military operations and therefore provide an
additional $3,600,000 for this effort. The conferees expect the
Air Force to complete development activities and initiate a
timely retrofit of the E-8C fleet.

Combat Identification

Multiple incidents in current and past conflicts and
exercises have repeatedly demonstrated that positive hostile
identification is crucial to using the full military
capabilities and enabling joint interoperability of our
technologically advanced weapon systems, such as the F-22, F/A-
18, and MEADS. Furthermore, fratricide and strict combat Rules
of Engagement can limit and restrict their combat employment,
thereby losing U.S. technological advantage and putting our
forces at risk. Since combat identification is only as good as
the target signature databases, securing the continued
development and sustainment of these databases and coordinating
their joint applications must be a priority. Due to the
critical nature of this joint military requirement and since
databases continue to receive low priority, the conferees
encourage the following: (1) Joint Theater and Missile Defense
Organization and Joint Forces Command should coordinate and
integrate combat ID signature database requirements,
applications, and interoperability, in coordination with the
National Signatures Program (NSP); (2) the Department of
Defense should include funding for combat ID database
development, support, and sustainment through the Future Years
Defense Program; and (3) Aeronautical Systems Center (ASC)
should be designated the Department of Defense executing agent
for the long-term development, application, support, and
sustainment of these databases and associated technologies and
tools. Funding for these database efforts should be joint, with
the respective services funding their specific production and
support requirements.

Transformational Satellite Communications System (TSAT)

The conferees agree to provide $737,102,000 for the TSAT
program, $130,000,000 below the budget request. This amount
provides sufficient resources to support continued competition
with two industry teams and to support continued development of
the program's ground segment. Further, the conferees direct the
Air Force to provide a quarterly program performance report on
the program that: (1) includes Earned Value Management System
information and a narrative summary that addresses technical
milestones, program cost, schedule, performance, and any
corrective action required for departure from the plan for the
previous quarter, and (2) includes the program plan for the
next quarter.

Operationally Responsive Space

The conferees provide the budget request of $35,625,000
for Operationally Responsive Space, of which $19,524,000 is for
the Affordable Responsive Space-lift (ARES) program,
$16,000,000 is for the FALCON small launch vehicle program, and
the remaining amount for the TACSAT program. The conferees are
pleased that the Air Force initiated a program element for
Operationally Responsive Space and strongly support the
concept.
The conferees note that, among projects planned by the
Air Force and the National Reconnaissance Office over the next
few years, several missions will require small launch vehicles
of similar capability. Therefore, the conferees encourage these
organizations to consider opportunities to partner and use
their combined purchasing power to leverage capability and cost
through procuring small launch vehicles for future space
missions.
The conferees support the concept of a reusable launch
vehicle, but question the pursuit of the ARES program as it
exists. Further, the conferees note the lack of a comprehensive
strategy for space launch. Therefore, the conferees direct no
funds appropriated in this bill may be used for the ARES
program. Of the $19,524,000 budgeted for ARES, the conferees
direct that $7,500,000 be used for the purposes described in
the classified annex and the remaining $12,024,000 be used to
complete the purchase of multiple small launch vehicles. Should
any funds appropriated to this program element for the above
specific purposes become available for any reason, the
conferees urge the Air Force to supplement the funds provided
for the purchase of multiple small launch vehicles.

Combatant Commanders' Integrated Command and Control System (CCIC2S)

The budget requests $50,908,000 for the CCIC2S. CCIC2S
was planned to provide combatant commanders a command and
control system for Integrated Tactical Warning and Attack
Assessment (ITW/AA) that would incorporate air, missile
defense, and space components. The conferees understand the Air
Force Space Command and United States Strategic Command plan to
remove the space mission from Cheyenne Mountain Operations
Center (CMOC) and therefore from CCIC2S. However, the conferees
believe that in order to accomplish the ITW/AA mission
effectively a closer relationship should exist between the
missile defense mission at CMOC and activity at the Joint
National Integration Center.
As a result, the conferees recommend $43,500,000, a
reduction of $7,408,000, in research and development funding
for the CCIC2S program. These funds are provided to complete
the missile defense activity and re-start work on the Single
Integrated Space Picture (SISP) as a part of the aforementioned
plan. The conferees note the growing importance for the SISP as
a national capability to provide situational awareness of space
and support improvements in that mission area. No funds have
been provided for the other space-related items as requested
due to pending changes in Air Force Space Command. A similar
reduction is made to ``Other Procurement, Air Force'' for the
same purposes.

Chemical and Biological Defense Program

The conference agreement provides an increase of
$25,000,000 for the Chemical and Biological Defense Initiative.
The Secretary of Defense is directed to allocate these funds
among the programs that yield the greatest gain in our chem-bio
defensive posture. The conferees further direct that such funds
may not be obligated until 15 days after a report, including a
description of projects to be funded, is provided to the
congressional defense committees.

MDA--Space Tracking and Surveillance System (STSS)

The budget request includes $390,585,000 for STSS,
including $97,000,000 for the Block 2012 space system. The
conference agreement includes $323,585,000, a reduction of
$67,000,000 for Block 2012. The conferees note that two
demonstration satellites will be launched in fiscal year 2007
and that exploitation of data from these satellites will allow
the Missile Defense Agency to develop sensor requirements and a
concept of operations that will drive the Block 2012 space
system. As a result, the conferees believe it is premature to
award a full Block 2012 space system acquisition contract and
direct the Missile Defense Agency to use the appropriated STSS
Block 2012 funds to initiate a contract to: (1) pursue sensor
technology development and risk reduction; (2) complete the
definition of the Block 2012 system through analysis and
trades; and, (3) develop corresponding system requirements
leveraging the demonstration satellites.

MDA--Avoidance of Congressional Reductions

The conferees remain concerned that the Missile Defense
Agency is moving funds between various elements and programs
and/or moving contract scope across elements and programs in
order to avoid reductions made by the congressional defense
committees. This practice is unacceptable and MDA is directed
to use prior approval reprogramming procedures specified in the
report accompanying the House version of the fiscal year 2007
Department of Defense Appropriations bill (H.R. 109-504) for
any movement of funds or contract scope beyond the $10,000,000
threshold in research, development, test and evaluation. The
MDA shall follow the limitation that prior approval
reprogramming is set at either the specified dollar threshold
or 20% of the line, whichever is less. The conferees agree
that: Ballistic Missile Defense--AEGIS, PE 0603892C; Ballistic
Missile Defense Terminal Defense Segment, PE 0603881C;
Ballistic Missile Defense Midcourse Defense Segment, PE
0603882C; and Multiple Kill Vehic1e, PE 0603894C are designated
as congressional special interest items subject to prior
approval reprogramming procedures.

MDA--Other Transaction Authority (OTA)

The conferees are concerned with the continued use of OTA
contracts by the Missile Defense Agency. These OTA contracts
lack the customary safeguards found under FAR-based contracts
for organizational conflict of interest, truth in negotiations
and submission of cost and pricing data. The conferees strongly
encourage the Missile Defense Agency to convert large
development and procurement contracts using OTA to FAR- based
contracts. Accordingly, the conferees direct the Missile
Defense Agency to submit a report on the use of Other
Transaction Authority contracts by the Missile Defense Agency.
This report should include the number, value, and justification
for the use of Other Transaction Authority. The report should
be delivered to the congressional defense committees 90 days
after the enactment of this Act.

MilTech Extension Program

The conferees support the ``MilTech Extension'' program
and encourage the Department of Defense to fund this program in
the fiscal year 2008 budget request. MilTech has been highly
successful at helping to transition technologies from
innovative small companies to Department of Defense operational
use.

MDA--AEGIS Improvements

The conferees have provided $65,000,000 for AEGIS
Improvements. Of that amount $15,000,000 is available for the
Sea-Based Terminal Capability, and $50,000,000 is available for
development and procurement of SM-3 Interceptors.
The conferees are aware that there is an additional
requirement of $20,000,000 in fiscal year 2007 for Sea-Based
Terminal Defense, and direct the Missile Defense Agency to
submit a prior approval reprogramming to fully fund this
requirement.

Airborne Laser (ABL)

The conferees are encouraged by the recent technical
progress that the Airborne Laser (ABL) program has made over
the last two years with the accomplishment of the firing of the
high energy laser and the flight testing of the associated beam
control/fire control system. The conferees also note that these
technical challenges were accomplished while the program stayed
within the government determined schedule and budget.
As the acknowledged Primary Boost Phase Defense, the
conferees are concerned by the recent decision of the Missile
Defense Agency (MDA) to slip the planning for the development
of an operational ABL by two years later than proposed in the
fiscal year 2006 budget submittal. The conferees believe that
if the ABL succeeds in the next two years of testing and
accomplishes its main test objectives leading towards a lethal
shoot down demonstration in late 2008, MDA should move the
program into development of an operational ABL configuration at
the earliest date.
Therefore, the conferees encourage MDA to re-evaluate
funding in the Future Years Defense Plan to ensure that funding
levels for ABL are consistent with its status as the Primary
Boost Phase Defense. Further, the conferees recommend MDA
develop a plan that would allow for the development of an
advanced ABL configuration in the shortest time after a
successful lethal shoot down demonstration. This plan should be
delivered to the congressional defense committees 90 days after
the enactment of this Act.

Defense Integrated Military Human Resources System (DIMHRS)

The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense and the
currently participating individual services to maintain DIMHRS
application development and implementation and DIMHRS
performance development and emergent requirement efforts at the
Space and Naval Warfare (SPAWAR) Systems Center (SSC) in New
Orleans.

Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA)

The conferees provide $3,135,303,000 for DARPA, a
reduction of $159,045,000 from the request. The conferees
direct the Director of DARPA to submit to the congressional
defense committees no later than sixty days after enactment of
this Act a report in writing that details by program the
application of undistributed reductions made in this Act.
The conferees commend DARPA for its responsiveness and
assistance in delineating its sizeable programmatic and
budgetary information. However, given the magnitude of DARPA's
budget and the significant quantity of programs managed by
DARPA, the conferees believe that future budget justification
materials should provide more individual programmatic detail,
to include budget information, programmatic achievements and
goals by fiscal year, as well as transition plans.

Iraq National Intelligence Estimate

The conferees did not include bill language requiring the
Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) to
provide a National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) for Iraq. The
conferees understand that the ODNI is currently drafting such a
document. The conferees urge the ODNI in creating the NIE to
follow the parameters set out in the Senate bill in Title VII,
under the heading ``Intelligence Community Management
Account.''

TITLE VIII--GENERAL PROVISIONS

The conference agreement incorporated general provisions
of the House and Senate versions of the bill which were not
amended. Those general provisions that were amended in
conference follow:
The conferees include a general provision (Section 8005)
as proposed by the House and the Senate concerning transfer
authority. The conferees also include language that requires a
prior approval reprogramming before obligating funds pursuant
to section 1206 of Public Law 109-163.
The conferees include a general provision (Section 8008)
which amends language, as proposed by the House and the Senate,
concerning multi-year procurement authority. The conference

with respect to Federally Funded Research and Development
Centers.
Section 8024 in title VIII of this Act prohibits the use
of government funds to purchase armor steel plate that was not
melted and rolled in the United States or Canada. The conferees
are concerned that the Department of Defense may alter or
weaken the intent of Congress through changes to the
implementing instructions. The conferees direct the Department
to discuss any proposed changes with the relevant congressional
committees and gain congressional approval before altering the
current interpretation of this prohibition.
The conferees include a general provision (Section 8039)
which amends language, as proposed by the House and Senate, to
make funds available under ``Operation and Maintenance,
Defense-Wide'' for the Office of Economic Adjustment to make
grants.
The conferees include a general provision (Section 8040)
which amends language, as proposed by the House and Senate,

$158,100,000 for excessive growth in other contracted services.
The conferees include a general provision (Section 8079)
which amends language, as proposed by the House and Senate,
concerning the Arrow missile defense program. The conference
agreement provides a total of $137,894,000 for the Arrow
program of which $53,000,000 is earmarked for missile component
co-production, and $20,400,000 is earmarked only for the Short
Range Ballistic Missile Defense initiative.
The conferees include a general provision (Section 8080)
which amends language, as proposed by the House and Senate, to
provide transfer authority for specified shipbuilding programs.
The agreement provides total transfer authority of $512,849,000
instead of $436,449,000 as proposed by the House and
$557,849,000 as proposed by the Senate. The agreement also
distributes funds to specified shipbuilding programs.
The conferees include a general provision (Section 8088)
which amends language, as proposed by the House, to provide
$11,100,000 for grants to various organizations.
The conferees include a general provision (Section 8096)
which amends language, as proposed by the House and Senate to
provide special transfer authority for Navy shipbuilding
programs. The agreement accepts provisions contained in the
House bill, but accepts the Senate proposal regarding the
availability of transferred funds. The agreement specifies that
transferred funds are available for the time period of the
original appropriation and are not extended by the transfer.
The conferees include a general provision (Section 8102)

which amends language, as proposed by the House and Senate, to
reduce funds available in this Act to reflect savings from
revised economic assumptions.
The conferees include a general provision (Section 8110)
which amends language, as proposed by the Senate, which
requires the Secretary of the Air Force to submit a cost-
benefit analysis of research and development activities.
The conferees include a general provision (Section 8111)
which amends language, as proposed by the House, to prohibit
the use of funds provided in this Act to waive or modify
regulations concerning the National Security Personnel System.
The conferees include a general provision (Section 8112)
that clarifies the definition of ``this Act''.

Reporting Requirements

The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to provide
a report to the congressional defense committees within 30 days
of enactment of this legislation on the allocation of the funds
within the accounts listed in this title. The Secretary shall
submit updated reports 30 days after the end of each fiscal
quarter until funds listed in this title are no longer
available for obligation. The conferees direct that these
reports shall include: a detailed accounting of obligations and
expenditures of appropriations provided in this title by
program and subactivity group for the continuation of the war
in Iraq and Afghanistan; and a listing of equipment procured
using funds provided in this title.
The conferees expect that in order to meet unanticipated
requirements, the Department of Defense may need to transfer
funds within these appropriation accounts for purposes other
than those specified in this report. The conferees direct the
Department of Defense to follow normal prior approval
reprogramming procedures should it be necessary to transfer
funding between different appropriations accounts in this
title.

Reset

The high operating tempo resulting from training and
subsequent deployment to Iraq and Afghanistan, combined with
severe environmental conditions, results in an equipment wear
out factor that is several times the peace time rate. Combat
losses add to the overall deterioration in the readiness rating
of entire categories of equipment ranging from night vision
devices to communications equipment to combat and support
vehicles. While units deploying to combat theaters and in the
combat theaters are fully equipped with the most capable
equipment, units at home station are often faced with equipment
shortages or unready equipment. These shortages limit the
capacity of units to conduct readiness training, and in the
case of the National Guard, may limit the capacity of units to
perform state emergency missions. Units returning from
deployment go through the reset process in which equipment is
repaired and battle losses are replaced in order to return the
unit to full readiness posture.
The conferees are concerned that the reset effort has not
kept up with the requirements generated by the ongoing Global
War on Terror, especially in the Army and Marine Corps for
which nearly continuous ground combat operations have been
especially hard on equipment. The conferees understand that the
necessary capacity is available at industry and government
facilities to repair or replace the worn out equipment. The
House and Senate each included funds for reset in their version
of the Defense Appropriations Act for fiscal year 2007. The
conferees have worked closely with the Army and Marine Corps to
examine reset funding requirements and the services' capacity
to execute those funds and accomplish the reset mission as
quickly as possible to ensure military readiness. Within title
IX, the conferees have provided $17.1 billion for additional
fiscal year 2007 reset funding for the Army and $5.8 billion
for the Marine Corps, amounts identified by these services as
necessary to meet their fiscal year 2007 requirements. The
conferees recommend this substantial funding increase in order
to ensure the readiness of the armed forces. The conferees note
that this critical funding has been provided without a formal
request from the administration and urge the Department of
Defense to include funding in future budget requests to address
reset requirements and ensure that readiness goals are
achieved.

Home Station Readiness Training, Logistics, and Reset

In this title the conferees recommend $44,260,734,000 in
the operation and maintenance accounts. In addition to
substantial funding required to support continuing combat and
security operations in Afghanistan and Iraq, the conferees
understand that significant amounts are required in support of
a range of home station activities, including unit
mobilizations, specialized pre-deployment training,
transportation, reset, and post-deployment training. The
funding provided in this title, particularly the substantial
funding for repair of equipment, will ensure recovery to
established readiness standards for full spectrum combat
operations around the world. To the extent that training,
maintenance and reset activities displace normal peacetime
training events, the amounts provided in home station operation
and maintenance lines in title II of this conference report
have been reduced. The Department of Defense should allocate
title IX operation and maintenance funding accordingly to
ensure full support for pre-deployment and post-deployment
operations, as well as for continuing combat and security
operations in support of the Global War on Terror.

Afghanistan and Iraq Security Forces Funds

The conferees provide $1,500,000,000 for the Afghanistan
Security Forces Fund and $1,700,000,000 for the Iraq Security
Forces Fund. These funds will continue the training of
indigenous security forces and provide equipment and
infrastructure essential to developing capable security forces
in Afghanistan and Iraq. The conferees direct the Department to
continue to provide comprehensive financial plans for the
security forces funds as directed in the Emergency Supplemental
Appropriations Act for Defense, the Global War on Terror, and
Hurricane Recovery, 2006 (Public Law 109-234). The conferees
further expect that up to $2,000,000 of the funds provided for
the Afghanistan Security Forces Fund be available for
infrastructure improvements for the Afghanistan military legal
system, as proposed by the Senate.

Commander's Emergency Response Program

The conferees recommend $500,000,000 to continue the
Commander's Emergency Response Program (CERP). The conferees
direct the Department to submit quarterly reports on CERP not
later than 15 days after the end of each fiscal quarter to the
congressional defense committees. The quarterly reports should
include detailed information on the source of funds for the
program, the allocation and use of funds during that quarter,
the recipient of the funds, and the specific purposes for which
the funds were used.

C-17 Procurement

The conference agreement provides an additional
$2,094,000,000 for 10 C-17 aircraft in title IX to support
airlift requirements in the Global War on Terror. The Air Force
is encouraged to rapidly procure these additional aircraft in
the most efficient method possible. Reprogramming of these
funds for uses other than procurement of C-l7s, and ancillary
equipment, is expressly prohibited without prior approval of
Congress.
The conferees are concerned that the Department of
Defense study establishing the strategic airlift requirement
may be flawed and may seriously understate the need for C-17
aircraft. The Government Accountability Office has raised
questions about the study and has suggested that Congress
exercise caution in using that study to make investment
decisions. The conferees direct the Department of Defense to
continue funding C-l7 production in the fiscal year 2008
budget.

National Guard and Reserve Equipment

The Senate included a general provision which provided
that $2,440,000,000 of the procurement funds in title IX shall
be available for the National Guard and the Army Reserve for
National Guard and Reserve equipment. The House provided
$500,000,000 in National Guard and Reserve Equipment for the
Army National Guard to continue an effort begun in fiscal year
2006 to meet the ``Essential 10 Equipment Requirements for the
Global War on Terror'' as identified by the National Guard
Bureau. The conferees direct that $2,940,000,000 of the
procurement funds provided in title IX shall be available only
for the Army National Guard and the Army Reserve, and that
$500,000,000 of those funds shall be available for the purposes
identified in House Report 109-504 under the heading ``National
Guard and Reserve Equipment''. The conferees further direct the
Chief of the National Guard Bureau to submit a report
specifying the items to be procured with this funding and a
fielding plan for this equipment not later than 60 days after
the enactment of this Act.

OTHER DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE PROGRAMS

Drug Interdiction and Counter-Drug Activities, Defense

The conferees are concerned with the increased level of
poppy production in Afghanistan. Since fiscal year 2004,
Congress has provided the Department of Defense nearly
$500,000,000 to curtail poppy production and train and equip
the Afghanistan special narcotics police units and border
agents. The conferees have included an additional $100,000,000
to continue to expedite this effort in fiscal year 2007. The
conferees direct the Department of Defense to provide the
congressional defense committees with a detailed execution plan
on the use of these funds. The Department may not obligate any
of these funds until the committees have received this report.
Further, these funds may not be used for the construction or
modification of facilities. In addition, the Department is
directed to provide to the Appropriations Committees an
interagency report on the Administration's plan to address drug
production, drug smuggling, and narco-terrorism financing in
the Central Asian region no later than March 1, 2007.
