OVERVIEW

Committee Recommendation

The Committee recommends $67,557,269,000 for contingency
operations related to the global war on terror to fund military
operations in fiscal year 2006. This funding will ensure that
resources, equipment, and supplies are available for our
service members without interruption, and will enable the
Department to avoid absorbing incremental operational costs
from within baseline programs that are critical to future
readiness and home-station activities. The estimates outlined
in the Committee's recommendations are based on recent
execution data and detailed discussions with the military
services and operational commanders.

REPORTING REQUIREMENTS

The Committee directs 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 chapter. The Secretary shall
submit updated reports 30 days after the end of each fiscal
quarter until funds listed in this chapter are no longer
available for obligation. The Committee directs that these
reports shall include: a detailed accounting of obligations and
expenditures of appropriations provided in this chapter 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 chapter. The Committee expects
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 Committee directs the Department of Defense
to follow normal prior approval reprogramming procedures should
it be necessary to transfer funding between different
appropriations accounts in this chapter.
Additionally, the Committee directs that the bi-annual
reporting requirements of section 9010 of Public Law 108-287,
the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2005, regarding
the military operations of the Armed Forces and the
reconstruction activities of the Department of Defense in Iraq
and Afghanistan shall apply to the funds appropriated in this
Act.

MILITARY PERSONNEL

The Committee recommends a total of $10,204,007,000 for the
incremental cost of pay and allowances of the Active, Reserve,
and Guard Components deployed overseas, retained on active duty
to support military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, or
participating in or supporting the global war on terror. These
include Imminent Danger Pay, Family Separation Allowance,
Hardship Duty Pay, Basic Allowance for Housing, Foreign
Language Proficiency Pay, Subsistence, and other military
personnel requirements. In addition, funds are included for
casualty benefits associated with the death or traumatic injury
of service members.

their pay. Therefore, the Committee directs the Secretary of
Defense to submit a report that addresses (1) what actions the
Department has taken or is taking to make sure that military
service members receive the correct amount of pay, allowances,
or monetary benefits to which service members are entitled each
pay period, including basic pay, hazardous duty pay, imminent
danger pay, basic allowance for housing, basic allowance for
subsistence, any family separation allowance, or any cost of
living allowance, and (2) what steps are being taken to provide
accurate pay information to military service members and their
spouses so they know the correct amount they should expect to
be deposited in their accounts, and (3) what recourses military
members and their families have to receive responsive,
understanding support from their respective services when pay
questions arise. For cases of when one or more overpayments
have been made in error by the Department, the report should
include what steps the Department is taking to either grant
relief for the debt or to make arrangements with the military
member for collection in a way that does not create
unreasonable financial hardship, especially in cases where the
military member is wounded and when families or dependents are
involved. For cases when relief of the debt has been denied,
the report should include those reasons for denial. For cases
in which underpayments have occurred, the report should include
an explanation of action by the Department to correct the
underpayments. The report should also include what performance
standards the Department has set for itself concerning pay
errors and how the Department is performing against the
standard. The Secretary of Defense shall submit the report to
the congressional defense committees not later then 120 days
after the date of the enactment of this act.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

The Committee recommends $39,194,590,000 for the operation
and maintenance accounts. These funds are available to fund
military operations by the services and Special Operations
Forces to include: flying hours, ship steaming days, ground
operations, special airlift missions, increased maintenance
requirements, logistics support costs, overseas transportation,
communications support, facility management and other operation
and maintenance requirements.
The following table provides details of the recommendation
for the operation and maintenance accounts:

Operation and Maintenance, Army

2006 appropriation to date.............................. $45,371,537,000
2006 supplemental estimate.............................. 18,050,310,000
House allowance......................................... 18,380,310,000
Committee recommendation................................ 17,594,410,000

The Committee recommends $17,594,410,000 for Operation and
Maintenance, Army. The recommendation is $455,900,000 below the
estimate.

Commander's Emergency Response Program [CERP].--The
Committee recommends $423,000,000 for the Commander's Emergency
Response Program. The amount recommended is in addition to
$500,000,000 previously provided in fiscal year 2006. The
Committee believes this program provides an invaluable tool for
military commanders in the field to provide humanitarian relief
and reconstruction projects that have an immediate and visible
impact on the quality of life of the Iraqi and Afghan people.
The Committee also recognizes that military commanders in the
field are the first line of contact with the civilian
population and therefore directs that the CERP funds should
remain under the operational control of the military
commanders.
Condolence Payments.--The Committee supports the
Department's program for condolence payments to civilians who
have suffered injuries, or to the families of those who have
died, as a result of combat operations. The Committee directs
the Secretary to submit a report to the congressional defense
committees not later than 90 days after enactment, which
addresses: the benefits and disadvantages of a decentralized
program; claims documentation, approval, denial and
implementation procedures; Department of Defense guidance
provided to the field on this matter to ensure consistency of
best practices; and recommendations regarding the funding
mechanism for these payments.

Operation and Maintenance, Navy

2006 appropriation to date.............................. $32,052,766,000
2006 supplemental estimate.............................. 2,793,600,000

Committee recommendation................................ 2,826,693,000

The Committee recommends $2,826,693,000 for Operation and
Maintenance, Navy. The recommendation is $33,093,000 above the
estimate.

Operation and Maintenance, Marine Corps

2006 appropriation to date.............................. $5,498,858,000
2006 supplemental estimate.............................. 1,622,911,000
House allowance......................................... 1,722,911,000
Committee recommendation................................ 1,589,911,000

The Committee recommends $1,589,911,000 for Operation and
Maintenance, Marine Corps. The recommendation is $33,000,000
below the estimate.

Body Armor and Personal Protection Equipment.--The Marine
Corps request includes $270,900,000 for body armor and personal
protection equipment within the Active component operation and
maintenance account and $36,700,000 within the Reserve
component. The Marine Corps has since indicated that a portion
of the Active component request will outfit Marine Corps
reservists deploying to Iraq and would be better executed
within the ``Operation and Maintenance, Marine Corps Reserve''
account. Therefore, the Committee recommends the transfer of
$32,200,000 from the Active component to the Reserves to align
the resources with the requirement.

Operation and Maintenance, Air Force

2006 appropriation to date.............................. $33,051,722,000
2006 supplemental estimate.............................. 6,088,269,000
House allowance......................................... 5,328,869,000

2006 appropriation to date.............................. $20,560,127,000
2006 supplemental estimate.............................. 3,559,929,000
House allowance......................................... 3,259,929,000
Committee recommendation................................ 2,879,899,000

The Committee recommends $2,879,899,000 for Operation and
Maintenance, Defense-wide. The recommendation is $680,030,000
below the estimate.

Family Support Counseling.--The President's request
includes $43,000,000 for family support counseling. The
Committee recognizes the critical importance of these programs
to support our military service members and their families.
Therefore, the Committee recommends an increase of $63,000,000
for these programs. The Committee also recommends $10,000,000
for Transition Assistance to Separating service members, which
was not requested in the President's request. The amounts
provided are to be allocated as follows:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Committee
Budget request recommended
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Support for Severely Injured........ $20,000,000 $30,000,000

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

Cooperative Threat Reduction.--The Committee recommends
$36,500,000 for Cooperative Threat Reduction. The Committee
believes this will fully fund the requirement, as the
Department of Defense has identified $8,000,000 of carryover
funds from fiscal year 2005 that can be applied to Cooperative
Threat Reduction activities.

recommends $5,611,133,000 to train and equip Afghan and Iraq
security forces. The funds are provided to assist the
governments of Afghanistan and Iraq to assume increasing
responsibility for their nations' security. The Committee's
recommendation is $289,700,000 below the request. The reduction
is taken for security infrastructure in Afghanistan that will
not be executed until the first quarter of fiscal year 2007.
Furthermore, the Committee directs that no funds provided in
the ``Iraq Security Forces Fund'' shall be obligated for
infrastructure construction or repair until after the formation
of the unified Iraqi government.

Iraq Freedom Fund

Joint Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Fund

2006 appropriation to date..............................................
2006 supplemental estimate..............................................
House allowance.........................................................
Committee recommendation................................ $1,958,089,000

The Committee recommends $1,958,089,000 to initiate the
Joint Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Fund. The
recommendation is $1,958,089,000 above the estimate.
Improvised explosive devices continue to be a critical
threat to the safety of U.S. and coalition forces in Iraq and
Afghanistan. The use of these relatively inexpensive weapons
has grown, as has the technical sophistication of the
terrorists using them. To provide adequate funding and
management flexibility to the Department in developing and
fielding the necessary tactics, equipment and training to
defeat these weapons, the Committee provides $1,958,089,000 in
the ``Joint Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Fund.'' The
funds may only be used for activities that support the IED
defeat objective. Within 90 days of enactment, the Department
shall provide to the congressional defense committees an
initial plan for managing and using the Fund. The Department is
directed to provide a detailed description of the new JIEDD
organization, its command structure, funding sources, and
personnel needs (military, civilian and contractor support). In
addition, the Department shall submit a report not later than
30 days after the end of each fiscal quarter to the
congressional defense committees providing assessments of the
evolving threats, individual service requirements to counter
the threats, and details on the obligations and expenditures of
this Fund.

PROCUREMENT

The Committee recommends $15,456,598,000 for procurement.
This funds the Services' most urgent procurement needs,
including improvements for force protection equipment,
replacement, repair and reset of war-torn equipment, Army
modularity, and essential equipment and munitions.

Procurement Overview

Including the amounts set forth in this bill, the Committee
has provided $350,000,000,000 in emergency supplemental
appropriations to the Department of Defense for the global war
on terror since the attacks of September 11, 2001.
The requirement to reset the force, along with initiatives
such as Army Modular Forces and the Marine Corps Special
Operations Command, has driven rapid increases in the
supplemental funds requested for procurement. This continuous
growth is now at the point where, in some instances, the
supplemental request for some accounts represents two to three
times the amounts requested in the regular Defense
appropriations bill. However, the justification material
submitted to Congress includes only descriptive summaries for
each account and is absent of meaningful program and budget
information, such as requirements, pricing and delivery
schedules. In the future, the Committee will not be able to
fully support supplemental requests unless it is provided the
same detailed justification and program materials that it
receives with the annual budget request.
The following table provides details of the recommendation
for the procurement accounts:

Aircraft Procurement, Army

2006 appropriation to date.............................. $2,858,939,000

Joint Network Node [JNN].--The Committee is concerned that
the required operational test and evaluation has not been
completed for the JNN and that final decision on the
acquisition strategy for JNN and future evolutionary systems is
not yet made. The conference report accompanying the fiscal
year 2006 Department of Defense Appropriations Act contained a
requirement that the Army submit a plan no later than January
15, 2006, detailing its plans to procure evolutionary
capability in its network communications packages. The Army is
still evaluating the program and has not submitted the report.
Due to concerns about the Army's ability to execute the program
while the contract strategy is still in question, the Committee
reduces the program by $100,000,000 and redirects an additional
$10,000,000 from ``Other Procurement, Army'' to the ``Research,
Development, Test and Evaluation, Army'' appropriation to
conduct the required operational testing.
Physical Security Systems.--The Committee supports the
Army's program to acquire non-intrusive vehicle and cargo
inspection systems to support ongoing operations in Iraq and
Afghanistan. Since the terrorist threat was more fully
recognized following September 2001, industry has made progress
in developing innovative technologies to meet this critical
need. The Committee directs the Department of the Army to use a
competitive procurement process to fulfill the equipment
requirements funded in the Physical Security Systems line.

Aircraft Procurement, Navy

2006 appropriation to date.............................. $9,820,032,000
2006 supplemental estimate.............................. 271,280,000
House allowance......................................... 293,980,000
Committee recommendation................................ 412,169,000

The Committee recommends $412,169,000 for Aircraft
Procurement, Navy. The recommendation is $140,889,000 above the
estimate.

V-22.--The Committee recommendation includes $230,000,000
to procure three V-22 Osprey tilt rotor aircraft. The Osprey is
the planned replacement for the CH-46E and CH-53D helicopters.
Both legacy assets are suffering losses in battle and
experiencing significant wear and tear in support of Operation
Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. Considering the
CH-46E and CH-53D are no longer in production and nearing the
end of their expected life, the Committee believes procurement
of replacement aircraft needs to be accelerated to support
Marine Corps operations. Now that the V-22 Osprey program has
completed operational testing and entered full rate production,
the Committee also believes the production efficiencies gained
from this acceleration of replacement aircraft will result in
substantial cost savings over the life of the program.
UH-1Y Aircraft.--The request includes $74,000,000 to
procure four UH-1Y aircraft. The Committee is aware that these
funds are no longer executable in the current fiscal year. As a
result, the Committee defers the funding to a future
appropriations bill.
AV-8 Series.--The supplemental request includes $31,947,000
to provide numerous upgrades and modifications to AV-8
aircraft. Several of the modifications appear to be upgrades
not directly related to the global war on terror. In addition,
a portion of the funds will not be obligated until fiscal year
2007. The Committee, therefore, reduces the request by
$10,000,000 and encourages the Navy to pursue modification
efforts in the traditional appropriation process.
H-53 Series.--The Committee recommendation transfers
$2,000,000 from the ``Research, Development, Test and
Evaluation, Navy'' account to the ``Aircraft Procurement,
Navy'' account to provide Blue Force Tracker/Moving Map
capability for H-53s. Subsequent to the budget submission, it
was determined this work is more properly funded in the
procurement account.
E-2 Series.--The Committee recommendation denies $3,420,000
requested for E-2C and C-2 cockpit instrument lighting. The
Committee notes this request is an upgrade to existing cockpit
lighting and is not urgently needed in support of Operation
Iraqi Freedom or Operation Enduring Freedom.
C-130 Series.--Subsequent to the budget submission, the
Committee was informed that $3,691,000 requested for KC-130T
ALE dispensers is no longer a requirement. As a result, the
Committee denies this request.

Weapons Procurement, Navy

2006 appropriation to date.............................. $2,750,370,000
2006 supplemental estimate.............................. 95,901,000
House allowance......................................... 90,800,000
Committee recommendation................................ 63,351,000

The Committee recommends $63,351,000 for Weapons

C-17 Aircraft Procurement.--The fiscal year 2007 budget
request terminates the C-17 program at the end of the current
multiyear procurement and closes the production line after
acquisition of 180 C-17s. The C-17 has proven itself to be a
reliable and capable aircraft meeting requirements for both
strategic and intra-theater tactical airlift. In 2005, C-17s
flew over 24,000 sorties, carrying over 228,000 passengers and
lifting 265,000 tons of cargo. This airlift asset has proven
invaluable in operations in the global war on terror, but at
the cost of aging the equipment more rapidly than planned. The
Committee is concerned that because of the heavy utilization
supporting on-going operations, the planned inventory may not
be sufficient to meet the current and future mobility needs of
our armed forces and recommends $227,500,000 to fund advance
procurement for additional aircraft procurement in fiscal year
2008.

Joint Improvised Explosive Device Defeat [JIEDD].--Funds
requested for this effort are included in the Joint IED Defeat
Fund.
Combat Engineer Equipment Up-Armoring Engineering
Development.--The request includes $25,800,000 to develop add-
on-armor [AoA] for construction engineer equipment deployed in
support of Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring
Freedom. The Committee is aware a large portion of this request
would procure armor installation kits that is more
appropriately funded in the ``Other Procurement, Army''
account. As a result, the Committee reduces the research and
development request by $21,800,000 and addresses the armor
purchase in the appropriate procurement account.
Engineer Vehicle Upgrade.--The supplemental request
includes funds to develop assault bridging capability for Heavy
Brigade Combat Teams. In the Committee's view, this development
effort is not an emergency requirement and should be financed
through the annual appropriations process. The Committee,
therefore, denies the request of $5,000,000.
Biometrics.--The Committee is aware that the Defense
Science Board is studying the management of the Department of
Defense's biometrics program and will make recommendations on
whether or not the current structure is meeting the needs of

Global War on Terror. The Committee directs that no management
changes be made until the Defense Science Board completes its
study and informs the Congress of its recommendations.

authorized by section 664 of the National Defense Authorization
Act for fiscal year 2006 (Public Law 109-163). The
recommendation includes $500,000 to cover necessary upgrades to
certain Coast Guard intelligence systems. This funding is
designated as an emergency requirement.

CHAPTER 6

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

MILITARY CONSTRUCTION

Permanent Bases in Iraq.--The Committee noted in Senate
Report 109-52, accompanying H.R. 1268, the Emergency
Supplemental Appropriations Act for Defense, the Global War on
Terror, and Tsunami Relief, 2005, requests for emergency
military construction must be considered against two broad
criteria before individual projects can be considered on their
merits: ``whether the proposed spending is truly of an
emergency nature, and whether the construction of permanent
facilities (where proposed), rather than those of a more
expeditionary nature, is appropriate.''
It is the current policy of the United States to establish
no permanent military bases in Iraq. The United States has not
proposed to change that policy, and there is not yet a
formalized means by which Iraq can accept or reject such a
proposal were it offered.
Against this backdrop, and given the long-term nature of
military construction, both in the time it takes to construct
and the duration for which it lasts, the Committee recommends
approval of only those requested projects that immediately
support operations ongoing in Iraq, rather than those requests
which propose a longer-term presence. While these projects may
indeed be of military value, they intend a more permanent
presence than is the policy of the United States.
Bagram Air Base, Afghanistan.--The Air Force recently
provided the Committee with a base master plan for Bagram Air
Base. However, the Committee understands that NATO will soon
begin operations out of Bagram, yet there is no mention of
consultation with NATO in the Bagram Air Base master plan.
Further, there is no mention regarding the level of expected
NATO presence or NATO cost-sharing on the installation. Until
these questions are fully answered, the base master plan, while
much improved, is incomplete, and funding military construction
projects within the limited confines of Bagram is premature.
The Committee has not provided the requested authority for
the Secretary of Defense to transfer military construction
funds between appropriations.

Military Construction, Army

Counter IED/Urban Bypass Road, Iraq.--The Committee is
fully supportive of efforts to stop the proliferation of
improvised explosive devices [IED]. However, after discussion
with Central Command officials, the Committee remains
unconvinced that building an extensive new system of roadways
which lack any force protection will achieve the shared goal of
Central Command and the Committee to stop IED-related
casualties. There are limited instances in which the Committee
believes bypassing urban areas will provide the desired
benefit, and the Committee has consequently recommended funding
for these instances.
Air Control Tower, Camp Taqaddum, Iraq.--The Committee
understands this project is no longer needed. Therefore, no
funds have been provided.

The Committee is aware of the critical role community
facilities played during the evacuations prompted by Hurricanes
Katrina and Rita. Several communities in the affected areas
were compelled to rely upon make-shift facilities to house
evacuees from neighboring counties and parishes. In providing
assistance through the Community Facilities Grant Program, the
Committee encourages the Secretary to consider the benefits of
community facilities that can serve a dual use by also
providing emergency housing or staging facility capacity during
severe weather events and other emergencies.

Food and Nutrition Service

CHILD NUTRITION PROGRAMS

The Committee commends the efforts of the Food and
Nutrition Service [FNS] in the wake of Hurricane Katrina and
notes that FNS permitted schools in hurricane affected areas to
serve all meals free to attending children until February 28,
2006. However, the Committee is concerned that the extreme
devastation to schools and communities in Hurricane Katrina
affected areas has left many local schools without the ability
to operate a normal accountability system as required by the
Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act. Many of these
schools suffered a complete loss of records, cafeteria
facilities and food service equipment. Further, many of the
residents of these areas are homeless, dislocated, and have
lost all personal financial records. Therefore, the Committee
strongly encourages the Food and Nutrition Service to give
special consideration to waivers related to the operation of
school meal programs in communities affected by Hurricane
Katrina.

DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration

OPERATIONS, RESEARCH, AND FACILITIES

2006 appropriation to date.............................. $2,748,092,000
2006 supplemental estimate.............................. 21,000,000
House allowance.........................................................
Committee recommendation................................ 1,135,000,000

The Committee recommends an appropriation of $1,135,000,000
for National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's
Operations, Research, and Facilities. The recommendation is
$1,114,000,000 above the 2006 supplemental estimate.
The Committee recommendation includes $30,000,000, to be
equally divided among Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana, for
the Office of Coast Survey to conduct shipboard and autonomous
underwater vehicle side scan sonar and multibeam mapping of
fishing grounds to produce estimates of quantity and
distribution of debris essential to refining cost estimates for
the actual removal of debris. Included in this recommendation
is funding for the Office of Response and Restoration to
coordinate marine debris removal from tidal creeks, salt
marshes, oyster beds, coastal wetlands, barrier islands, and
the marine environment. In the wake of the numerous hurricanes
of 2005, which greatly disrupted the water in the Gulf of
Mexico, all previous mappings of those waters are now
inaccurate. To date the only areas within the Gulf of Mexico
that have been remapped are the vessel channels to allow for
safe passage of ships coming in and out of the many ports along
the Gulf of Mexico. The remainder of the Gulf of Mexico must
also be mapped beginning with traditional fishing grounds in
order to remove debris and begin the process of surveying
stocks and reestablishing this element of the economy. It is
also critical for the safety and security of our commercial and
recreational fisherman that the fishing grounds are properly
mapped in order to prevent catastrophic accidents from
occurring during the upcoming fishing season. This
appropriation will not cover complete mapping of all impacted
gulf areas, but will provide sufficient funds to allow NOAA to
obligate for contract surveys for the remainder of the 2006
survey season.
The Committee recommendation includes $1,000,000 for the
Coastal Services Center to produce multi-hazard maps to assist
with rebuilding the Coastal Zone affected by Hurricane Katrina
and other hurricanes of the 2005 season. Prior to replacing the
infrastructure along the Gulf of Mexico, new maps of water
levels and hazards of storm surge must be produced to allow for
fully informed decisions to be made regarding the best possible
scenarios for rebuilding coastal communities. This analysis
will use storm surge models, frequency, intensity and flooding
risks to mitigate against future catastrophes caused by natural
disasters.
The Committee recommendation includes $2,000,000 for the
Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services (CO-
OPS) to establish Physical Oceanographic Reporting Systems
(PORTS) along the Gulf of Mexico, like those currently
installed in 13 port locations around the United States. Of the
funds provided, $500,000 shall be for each of the Ports of
Mobile, Alabama; Pascagoula and Gulfport, Mississippi; and New
Orleans, Louisiana. PORTS provide access to accurate real-time
water level data which allows U.S. port authorities and
maritime shippers to make critical decisions regarding vessel
routes in and out of harbors, maximize vessel tonnage and limit
passage time.
The Committee recommendation includes $2,000,000 for CO-OPS
to repair and replace nine tide gauge stations in the northern
Gulf of Mexico damaged during the hurricanes of 2005. The tide
gauges are a critical component of our Nation's Water Level
Observing Network needed to provide critical navigational and
storm tide information throughout extreme weather events such
as hurricanes. The gauges provide critical observations to NOAA
forecasters to predict storm surges and issue maritime weather
warnings and forecasts.
The Committee recommends an appropriation of $15,000,000
for the National Marine Fisheries Service to provide technical
assistance to States and industry for oyster bed and shrimp
ground rehabilitation, and continued surveys to examine seafood
safety and abundance of species. Critical to rebuilding the
commercial seafood industry in the Gulf of Mexico is cleaning
and replacing oyster and shrimp grounds; monitoring toxic
elements for potential contamination of shrimp, fish species
and oysters; and abundance surveys to examine population
recovery.
The Committee recommendation includes $100,000,000 for the
National Marine Fisheries Service to provide technical
assistance to States and industry for oyster bed and shrimp
ground rehabilitation, debris removal and cleaning, and to
prepare for spat fall by planting sufficient amounts of cultch.
The Committee recommendation includes $20,000,000 for the
National Marine Fisheries Service and the National Ocean
Service for its expertise to assist in rebuilding coastal
communities, especially focusing on fisheries infrastructure,
zoning to mitigate against future catastrophes and natural
disasters, and building standards for coastal structures.
The Committee recommendation includes $10,000,000 for the
National Marine Fisheries Service in coordination with the Gulf
of Mexico Fisheries Management Council and the Gulf States
Marine Fisheries Commission to help implement planning efforts
that will lead to capacity and effort reductions in Federal and
State waters.
The Committee recommendation includes $15,000,000 for the
National Marine Fisheries Service in coordination with industry
groups to develop and implement a seafood promotion strategy
for Gulf of Mexico fisheries.
The Committee recommendation includes $15,000,000 for the
National Marine Fisheries Service retraining in coordination
with the United States Department of Labor to coordinate and
institute job for displaced fisheries workers into alternative
occupations.
The Committee recommendation includes $200,000,000 for the
National Marine Fisheries Service in cooperation with the Gulf
States Marine Fisheries Commission to replace fishing gear
damaged or lost in the hurricanes, and deploy advanced versions
of turtle exclusion devices and by-catch reduction devices.
The Committee recommendation includes $50,000,000 for the
National Marine Fisheries Service in coordination with State
Marine Fisheries Agencies, State Recovery Authorities, and
National Sea Grant Program to develop temporary marine services
centers to cluster docking facilities, fuel, ice and
provisions, offloading, processing and distribution and marine
repair facilities for seafood industries.
The Committee recommendation includes $300,000,000 for the
National Marine Fisheries Service in coordination with the
State marine fisheries agencies, State recovery authorities,
and National Sea Grant Program for re-development of marinas,
piers, docks, wharves and warehouses to support commercial and
recreational fishing, and especially investments in public
facilities supporting working waterfronts.
The Committee recommendation includes $50,000,000 for the
National Marine Fisheries Service in coordination with the
Economic Development Administration for planning and support
for fishing-related marine industrial parks to cluster
processing and marine support businesses in ways that increase
access to key facilities and services, and enhance intermodal
transportation of fishery products.
The Committee recommendation includes $90,000,000 for the
National Marine Fisheries Service in coordination with the
Economic Development Administration for replacement of private
fisheries infrastructure other than vessels.
The Committee recommendation includes $10,000,000 for the
National Marine Fisheries Service to implement rules where
appropriate, and purchase and provide 1 year of associated fees
to equip the off-shore shrimp and reef fish fishery with
electronic vessel monitoring systems.
The Committee recommendation includes $10,000,000 for the
National Marine Fisheries Service to equip federally permitted
fishing vessels with electronic logbooks to record haul-by-haul
catch data.
The Committee recommendation includes $20,000,000 for the
National Marine Fisheries Service or 1 percent coverage of the
shrimp and reef fish fisheries with at-sea observer coverage to
document catch, by-catch and profitability of these fisheries,
for 3 years.
The Committee recommendation includes $50,000,000 for the
National Marine Fisheries Service in coordination with State
marine fisheries agencies, and the Oceanic and Atmospheric
Research Administration to develop and fund a cooperative
research program to test various gears and to monitor the
recovery of Gulf of Mexico fishery resources and fisheries.
The Committee recommendation includes $100,000,000 for the
National Marine Fisheries Service and National Ocean Service in
coordination with the Economic Development Administration and
Gulf States Marine Fisheries Commission for direct assistance
to fishers and seafood workers to undertake cleanup activities
and begin repairing damaged facilities.
The Committee recommendation includes $20,000,000 for the
National Marine Fisheries Service in cooperation with New
England coastal States to assist shellfishermen in New
England's coastal communities who suffered severe economic
impact from last year's toxic red tide outbreak.
The Committee recommendation includes $25,000,000 for the
National Marine Fisheries Service, National Ocean Service, and
Oceanic and Atmospheric Research Administration to employ
fishers and vessel owners in marine debris and living marine
resource assessment activities.

2006 supplemental estimate.............................. 1,025,236,000
House allowance......................................... 775,236,000
Committee recommendation................................ 1,025,236,000

The Committee recommendation fully supports the
administration's request of $1,025,236,000 for the Hurricane
Katrina related cost impact on shipbuilding programs. The
damage to the gulf coast region shipbuilding industrial base by
Hurricane Katrina is unprecedented and has a direct impact on
national security. Funding provided in this bill and previously
provided in Public Law 109-148 provide resources to replace
destroyed or damaged equipment, business disruption, and
related shipyard workforce costs at gulf coast shipyards
impacted by hurricanes in the gulf coast region in 2005. These
funds also provides resources to replace contractor furnished
equipment for other Navy ship programs damaged or destroyed at
vendors located in this region and for associated overhead
impacts resulting from equipment delivery delays.
It is in the best interest of Department of the Navy and
national security to restore compromised shipyard capability.
Slow shipyard restoration causes significant risk of cost
increases and delayed ship deliveries to the Navy whose fleet
size is the smallest since World War I.
It is also in the interest of the Navy and United States
Government to ensure industry seeks reimbursement by insurance
companies to the maximum extent. The Committee expects the
shipbuilders to reimburse the Navy with any insurance receipts
they receive for interruptions to their business caused by
Hurricane Katrina or other hurricanes of the 2005 season to the
extent payment for that item of damage was made with
supplemental funding. The Committee expects the Navy or
appropriate agency to have complete visibility into the
insurance claim process to ensure no redundant funding is
received.

INVESTIGATIONS

2006 appropriation to date.............................. $199,660,000
2006 supplemental estimate..............................................
House allowance.........................................................
Committee recommendation................................ 3,750,000

Funds totaling $3,750,000 are recommended subject to an
official budget request, that includes designation of the
entire amount as an emergency requirement, being transmitted by
the President to the Congress. Of the total, $1,000,000 of the
funding shall be used for Flood Plain Management Services to
provide flood hazard and hydrologic investigations in flood
prone areas of Hawaii; and $2,750,000 of the funding shall be
used to accelerate the Delta Islands and Levees Feasibility
Study to develop the Delta Risk Management Strategy.

CONSTRUCTION

2006 appropriation to date.............................. $2,449,697,000
2006 supplemental estimate.............................. 100,000,000
House allowance......................................... 100,000,000
Committee recommendation................................ 122,850,000

The Committee is aware of the rapidly eroding coastline of
south Louisiana. The wetlands surrounding the greater New
Orleans metropolitan area operate as a natural buffer to lessen
storm impacts, and are an important part of the overall storm
damage reduction system. Nourishing and rebuilding these
wetlands will increase the effectiveness of the levees and
floodwalls of New Orleans. Therefore, the Committee has
recommended bill language directing the Corps to use
$122,850,000 at full Federal expense to reduce the risks of
storm surge and storm damage to the greater New Orleans
metropolitan area by restoring the surrounding wetlands, and to
aid in the reduction of risk to both loss of life and damage to
homes, businesses, and local infrastructure in the metropolitan
area. The Corps is further directed to use these funds in the
following manner: $10,000,000 to modify the Caernarvon
Freshwater Diversion structure or its operations; $10,000,000
to protect the shoreline along Lake Borgne in St. Bernard
Parish, Louisiana; $15,000,000 to protect the shoreline and
create marsh along Irish Bayou and Chef Menteur Pass in Orleans
Parish, Louisiana; $15,000,000 to create marsh along the
Rigolets in Orleans and St. Tammany Parishes, Louisiana;
$25,000,000 to create marsh in the Golden Triangle in Orleans
and Jefferson Parishes, Louisiana; $15,000,000 to restore the
ridge along Bayou La Loutre in St. Bernard Parish, Louisiana;
and $10,000,000 to protect the shoreline along the Barataria
Basin Landbridge in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana.
Additional funds of $22,850,000 are recommended subject to
an official budget request for a specific dollar amount that
includes designation of the entire amount as an emergency
requirement, being transmitted by the President to the
Congress.
Of the funding recommended, $20,850,000 is recommended for
the following projects to mitigate the flood threat to the
Sacramento, California, metropolitan area.
These contingency funds should be distributed as follows:
--$6,250,000 to accelerate the South Sacramento Streams,
California Project.
--$11,300,000 to accelerate construction of the Sacramento
River Bank Protection Project, California.
--$3,300,000 to accelerate the American River (Common
Features), California project.
Of the funding recommended, $2,000,000 at full Federal
expense, is recommended for the Hawaii water systems technical
assistance program (including technical studies of ditch and
water supply systems, as identified by the State of Hawaii) to
provide planning and technical analysis relating to the Kaloko
and Morita Reservoir dams and other high hazard facilities, as
identified by the State.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

2006 appropriation to date.............................. $2,296,627,000
2006 supplemental estimate..............................................
House allowance.........................................................
Committee recommendation................................ 4,700,000

Funds totaling $4,700,000 are recommended, subject to an
official budget request, that includes designation of the
entire amount as an emergency requirement, being transmitted by
the President to the Congress. The funding shall be used to
restore navigation channels and harbors to pre-storm conditions
and to repair flood damage reduction and other projects in
States affected by Hurricane Katrina and other hurricanes of
the 2005 season. The funding provided is based on Corps of
Engineers' estimates of the requirements for the Texas Gulf
Coast. The Committee expects the funds provided herein shall be
expended substantially in accordance with those estimates.

FLOOD CONTROL AND COASTAL EMERGENCIES

2006 appropriation to date.............................. $2,277,965,000
2006 supplemental estimate.............................. 1,360,000,000
House allowance......................................... 1,360,000,000
Committee recommendation................................ 2,001,500,000

The Committee understands that additional funds will be
needed to provide 100 year level of protection for the New
Orleans Metropolitan area. The Administration has briefed
members of Congress that this may require as much as an
additional $6,000,000,000, but has not transmitted any request
for additional funding to the Committee. The Committee notes
that this 100 year level of protection is a regulatory
requirement pertaining to flood insurance through the Federal
Emergency Management Agency and that the estimates to support
this number are preliminary. Contained within the fiscal year
2006 Energy and Water Conference Report is funding for the Army
Corps of Engineers to carryout studies to determine this higher
level of protection and the interim results are due in June
2006. Additionally, the Interagency Performance Evaluation Task
Force report is also due by June 2006. The Committee expects
that this report will describe the results of the forensic
examination for the levee failures as well as describe the
overall condition of the entire levee system and any weaknesses
therein. Before the Committee can provide additional funding
for the levee system in South Louisiana, it is critical that
the Administration provide a definitive request, including a
more rigorous accounting of needs than has been provided thus
far.
Funds totaling $2,001,500,000 are recommended to continue
repairs to flood and storm damage reduction projects. These
projects are to be funded at full Federal expense.
The Committee has recommended $530,000,000 for construction
of closures and pumping plants at the 17th Street, Orleans, and
London Avenue Canals. Within the funds recommended, the Corps
is expected to remove the existing pumping stations at the
heads of the three canals and perform necessary work to realign
the sumps with the new pumping stations at the mouths of the
canals.
The Committee is concerned about the interim pumping
capacity the Corps is proposing at the temporary closures on
the 17th Street, Orleans and London Avenue drainage canals. In
particular, the Committee is concerned that the interim pumping
capacity for the 17th Street Canal is proposed to be roughly
one-fourth of the capacity of the existing number 6 pumping
station on the canal. The Committee directs that the Corps
provide adequate temporary pumping capacity to evacuate
expected flows from the existing pumping stations in the three
drainage canals in order to minimize interior flooding.
The Committee recommendation recommends $170,000,000 for
levee armoring. The Committee has increased this amount in
order to allow the Corps to better strengthen the levee system
at transition points as well as in areas that face direct
attack from wave action.
The Committee recommends $350,000,000 to construct
navigable closures, one near Seabrook on the Industrial Canal
and the other on the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway west of its
confluence with the Mississippi River-Gulf Outlet.
The Committee recommendation includes $60,000,000 for
incorporation of non-Federal levees on the west bank of the
Mississippi River in Plaquemines Parish in order to provide
improved storm surge protection and to protect evacuation
routes.
The Committee rcommends $250,000,000 for storm proofing
interior pump stations to ensure their reliability during
hurricanes, storms and high water events.
The Committee has been informed that funds requested under
this account are insufficient to fully fund the items requested
or other emergency needs. Additional funds of $641,500,000 are
recommended subject to an official budget request for a
specific dollar amount that includes designation of the entire
amount as an emergency requirement, being transmitted by the
President to the Congress. These contingency funds should be
distributed as follows:
--$190,000,000 is provided for closures and pump stations for
the three interior drainage canals. The Committee
understands that the increase is due to refinements to
the cost estimates and an increase in the project
scope. Some of the additional funds would be used to
remove the existing pumping stations and realign the
drainage canals to direct interior flows to the new
pump stations rather than having to pump the water
twice within a few miles on the canal to evacuate the
drainage water to Lake Ponchartrain.
--$20,000,000 is provided for the navigable closures on the
Industrial Canal and the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway.
The Committee understands that additional funds are
needed due to refinements of the cost estimates for
these structures.
--$30,000,000 is provided for repairs to non-Federal levees
in Terrebonne Parish. The Committee understands that
these local levees were damaged by the effects of
Hurricane Rita. The Committee believes that repairs to
these levees should be undertaken at Federal expense.
This is consistent with the treatment of the non-
Federal levees in Orleans, Jefferson, St. Bernard, and
Plaquemines Parishes as proposed and funded in the
third disaster supplemental.
--$160,000,000 is provided to incorporate the West Bank non-
Federal levee in Plaquemines Parish. The Committee
understands that this is the current estimate to
increase the levee height to provide storm surge
protection. The large increase is due to the poor soil
conditions in the area.
--$94,000,000 is provided to incorporate the East Bank non-
Federal levee in Plaquemines Parish. Incorporation of
this levee was not included in the 2006 supplemental
estimate however; the Committee believes it is prudent
to include this levee as well. The Committee notes that
terminal facilities for the Port of Plaquemines are
located throughout these leveed areas and that this
port facility is the eleventh busiest port in the
Nation handling nearly 56,000,000 tons of cargo in
2003, the latest year for which statistics are
available. Further, the Committee understands that much
of the support services and workers for the off-shore
oil and gas industry are concentrated in Plaquemines
parish as well as other significant infrastructure.
--$130,000,000 is provided for additional levee armoring. The
Committee is very concerned that the previous estimates
for levee armoring given by the Administration were
well over $600,000,000. The Committee recognizes that
the original estimate may have been based on armoring
all the levees and the current estimate is only for
selected transition areas. However, the Committee
believes the current request is much too low. The
Committee believes that not only transition areas need
to be protected, but those levees that are going to
face direct attack from long-period ocean waves should
also be armored.
--$17,500,000 shall be used to restore previously
appropriated emergency funds for 13 flood protection
projects damaged in previous disasters in Brockway;
Brookville; Burgettstown; Canonsburg; James G. Fulton
Chartiers Creek; Leetonia; Meyersale; Millvalle; New
Kensington; Saw Mill Run Pittsburgh; Sykesville;
Tarentum; and Turtle Creek, Pennsylvania. Funds for
these projects were withdrawn shortly after Katrina
struck the Gulf Coast to address immediate needs.
Previous supplemental appropriations have not been
directed to repay these reprogrammed funds in order to
make these storm repairs.

material, equipment, facilities, and labor. This funding is
designated as an emergency requirement.

Federal Emergency Management Agency

The Committee recognizes all the work the White House, the
Department of Homeland Security [DHS], the Federal Emergency
Management Agency [FEMA], the Government Accountability Office
[GAO], and the DHS Inspector General have done in reviewing and
analyzing the Federal response to Hurricane Katrina. These
investigations have put forth many recommendations intended to
strengthen the way the Federal Government prepares and responds
to natural and man-made disasters.
The Committee is concerned the Federal Government will not
have ample time to review and implement these recommendations
prior to the upcoming hurricane season, which begins in June
2006. It is imperative DHS implement changes that can be done
easily and without the need for additional resources prior to
June 1, 2006. The DHS Preparedness Directorate and FEMA are to
brief the Committee, no later than May 30, 2006, on the
differences in the preparedness, response, and recovery system
as of May 2006 in comparison to a year ago. DHS is also
expected to inform the Committee on the funding associated with
implementing the recommendations listed in ``The Federal
Response to Hurricane Katrina Lessons Learned''.

ADMINISTRATIVE AND REGIONAL OPERATIONS

2006 appropriation to date.............................. $236,228,000
2006 supplemental estimate.............................. 70,000,000
House allowance......................................... 70,000,000
Committee recommendation................................ 71,800,000

The Committee recommends $71,800,000, an increase of
$1,800,000 from the amount requested, for ``Administrative and
Regional Operations.'' Of the total amount recommended,
$70,000,000 is provided for the reconstruction and improvement
of existing public alert, warning and crisis communications
systems in the gulf coast and $1,800,000 is provided for
additional personnel needed in the Office of National Security
Coordination. This funding is designated as an emergency
requirement.
The Committee understands there are numerous vacancies and
``acting'' individuals in senior leadership positions in FEMA's
Regional Offices and Headquarters. The Committee believes
strong permanent leadership is vital for carrying out FEMA's
mission. The Committee expects FEMA to fill these positions
with well-qualified individuals as quickly as possible.

PREPAREDNESS, MITIGATION, RESPONSE, AND RECOVERY

2006 appropriation to date.............................. $202,017,000
2006 supplemental estimate.............................. 5,000,000
House allowance......................................... 10,000,000
Committee recommendation................................ 10,000,000

The Committee recommends $10,000,000, an increase of
$5,000,000 from the amount requested for ``Preparedness,
Mitigation, Response, and Recovery'' for ongoing recovery
efforts in response to Hurricane Katrina and other hurricanes
of the 2005 season. Of the total amount recommended, $5,000,000
is provided for additional personnel; $1,500,000 is provided
for a logistics management system; $2,000,000 is provided for
the pre-positioned essential equipment program; and $1,500,000
for the disaster claims system. This funding is designated as
an emergency requirement.
Additional Personnel.--The Committee recommendation
includes $5,000,000 for FEMA to hire 60 full-time equivalents
[FTEs]. The Committee recognizes the urgency in FEMA being
adequately staffed and the difficulty the agency faces
attracting and hiring well-qualified professionals. FEMA is to
brief the Committee, no later than May 30, 2006, on the hiring
initiatives to meet its staffing requirements and its staffing
plan.
Logistics Management System.--The Committee understands
FEMA lacks technology and information management systems which
are critical to track shipments and manage inventories. The
Committee is disappointed there is no funding requested for
strengthening this aspect of FEMA. Included in the total amount
recomended is $1,500,000 for FEMA to begin to bring its
logistic management system into the 21st century. Obligation of
this funding is available once the FEMA is to submit an
expenditure plan to the Committee prior to the obligation of
these funds.
Pre-positioning Essential Items/Equipment.--The Committee
is concerned with FEMA's reliance on other Federal agencies for
the procurement and supply of essential items and equipment,
including satellite communications. It is difficult for other
Federal agencies to stockpile supplies for FEMA. An example of
this is the Department of Defense's inability to provide
additional Meals-Ready-To-Eat after Hurricane Katrina because
of a limited supply left in the War Reserve Stockpile. FEMA is
to brief the Committee, no later than May 30, 2006, on its
procurement plan for essential items and equipment, including
satellite communications. This plan should include how FEMA is
working with both Federal agencies and the private industry to
ensure ample supplies are available to meet future disaster
needs.
Disaster Claims System.--Both the DHS Inspector General and
GAO have conducted several audits and investigations on the
assistance provided to individuals and households as a result
of Hurricane Katrina and other hurricanes of the 2005 season.
These audits found weaknesses in the processes FEMA utilizes to
review registration for disaster relief and approve assistance
payments. The Committee is disappointed no funding is requested
to strengthen the claims process.
The Committee understands FEMA is developing an Enterprise
Content Management System to enhance its claims processing
capacity. The Committee provides an additional $1,500,000 for
this purpose. Obligation of this funding is available once the
Secretary submits an expenditure plan to the Committee.
Contracting.--GAO's report on ``Agency Management of
Contractors Responding to Hurricanes Katrina and Rita'' found
problems with the implementation of the Robert T. Stafford
Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act preference for
utilizing contractors residing or doing business in the
affected areas. The Committee believes the use of these
contractors is important for revitalizing local economies in
the gulf coast. FEMA is encouraged to issue additional Robert
T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act
guidance to clarify how to determine if the company was in the
affected area prior to the disaster and how preferences can be
applied in the contract process.
Mass Evacuation.--The Committee recognizes there were many
problems evacuating individuals with disabilities and severe
medical conditions before and after Hurricane Katrina. Although
evacuation planning should be conducted by States, the White
House report ``The Federal Response to Hurricane Katrina
Lessons Learned'' recommends the Federal Government have a
coordinated plan to evacuate this population when States are
overwhelmed. DHS, in consultation with the Department of
Transportation and the Department of Health and Human Services,
is to provide a report by June 30, 2006 on the Federal plan to
identify and evacuate special needs populations. The report is
to incorporate efforts already underway by DHS as required by
Public Law 109-90.
Assessing Emergency Response.--After Hurricane Andrew tore
through southern Florida in 1992, Congress asked the National
Academy of Public Administration (the Academy) to conduct a
comprehensive and objective study of the Federal, State, and
local government's capacity to respond promptly and effectively
to major natural disasters. In February 1993, the Academy
issued the study report, ``Coping with Catastrophe: Building an
Emergency Management System to Meet People's Needs in Natural
and Manmade Disaster.'' The Committee believes many of the
recommendations made in this report are still practical,
relevant, and applicable to the responses to Hurricanes
Katrina, Rita and Wilma as well as other disasters. The
Academy's 1993 findings and recommendations related to the
role, organization, and operation of the Federal Emergency
Management Agency should be reexamined, particularly after the
incorporation of FEMA into the Department of Homeland Security.
The Committee is also interested in a review of the
Department's overall organizational structure as it relates to
preparedness, mitigation, emergency response and recovery and
the pros and cons of these functions being separated among
components of the Department. Therefore, the Committee directs
the Secretary of Homeland Security to use the section 504
authority in Public Law 108-334 to provide $750,000 for the
purpose of contracting with the National Academy of Public
Administration for such a review. This notification is to be
submitted to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations
within 30 days from the date of enactment of this act and the
funds to be made available to the Academy to begin the study
within 30 days of approval.

Committee recommendation................................ 10,600,000,000

The Committee recommends $10,600,000,000 for the Disaster
Relief Fund [DRF]. Included in this amount is the
$9,400,000,000 requested by the President for the following:
$2,000,000,000 for on-going individual and housing assistance
needs; $5,000,000,000 for State/local infrastructure repair,
grant and mitigation assistance; and $2,400,000,000 for other
needs, including, FEMA mission assignments, on-going debris
removal and other response requirements. An additional
$1,200,000,000 is made available to carry out section 2503 of
this chapter. This funding is designated as an emergency
requirement.
Housing Policy.--The Committee continues to be frustrated
with the lack of a housing policy for the gulf coast. It is
critical a comprehensive housing policy be developed
immediately so appropriate resources can be provided for this
region. The Committee is encouraged FEMA is working with the
Department of Housing and Urban Development to assist States
and local entities with their housing plans. The Secretary of
Homeland Security shall submit an expenditure plan for housing
prior to the obligation of DRF funds for this purpose.

Committee recommendation................................ 83,000,000

The Committee recommends $83,000,000 for historic
preservation needs. Of these funds, $3,000,000 is for financial
assistance to State Historic Preservation Offices in States
that were damaged by Hurricane Katrina and other hurricanes of
the 2005 season. These funds will assist the States in
completing reviews under section 106 of the National Historic

National Seashore. In the aftermath of recent hurricanes, a
much greater workload has significantly increased the stress on
the current boat, which has already far exceeded its expected
useful life. The new vessel would be used to transport
personnel, equipment, supplies and materials for cleanup and
reconstruction projects in both the Mississippi and Florida
Districts of the Seashore.

2006 appropriation to date.............................. $6,563,364,000
2006 supplemental estimate..............................................
House allowance.........................................................
Committee recommendation................................ 6,000,000

The Committee recommendation includes $6,000,000 for
Community Health Centers to establish a communications network
among Community Health Centers, the Departments of Health and
Major Medical Centers in States affected by Hurricane Katrina
and other hurricanes of the 2005 season. Funds are also
provided for satellite phones and other communications
equipment. The administration did not request funds for this
activity.
During Hurricane Katrina, a large portion of the public
health infrastructure in Mississippi was destroyed. Providing
health care services to survivors and evacuees was severely
hampered because no phone services or other communications
devices were available to coordinate care. The funds
recommended by the Committee would set up a communications
network and provide satellite phones and other communications
equipment to provide prompt health care in the event of future
disasters.
The Committee expects these funds to be distributed by June
30, 2006 so that systems can be in place early in the hurricane
season. Where they exist, State associations representing
community health centers should be the primary recipients of
these funds and coordinate distribution to other entities.

The Committee recommendation includes an additional
$300,000,000 for Temporary Emergency Impact Aid for Displaced
Students, as authorized by section 107 of title IV, division B
of Public Law 109-148. The House bill, H.R. 3949, did not
include any funds for this purpose, nor did the administration
request any funds for this activity. Together with the
$645,000,000 provided in Public Law 109-148, these resources
will reimburse schools for the additional costs they incurred
educating students displaced by the gulf hurricanes.
The Committee recommendation includes an additional
$350,000,000 for the Temporary Impact Aid program authorized in
the Hurricane Education Recovery Act. These funds are available
until expended.

design associated with the construction of a new medical
facility in New Orleans. Subsequent to the appropriation of
$75,000,000, the VA transmitted to the Congress a report on
reestablishing a VA Medical Center in New Orleans. As part of
this report, the VA estimated a total of $636,000,000 as the
cost for accomplishing this goal. The recommendation in this
supplemental brings total funds appropriated for the
construction of a new medical facility to $636,000,000, thus
fully funding the project. However, the Committee is concerned
about future flood risk for any new facility constructed in the
New Orleans floodplain. Therefore, the Committee encourages the
Department to explore all options for the future site of the
replacement medical center and must take into account the
probability of flooding before a final decision is made or
location is chosen. The construction of the new medical center
should be designed to withstand future hurricanes. The
Committee also encourages the Department to establish an
affiliation with another medical facility and/or current
affiliations and consider constructing a shared facility.
However, the Committee cautions the Department not to enter
into an agreement where the VA pays for more than its share in
the name of collaboration.
The Committee recommendation also includes $62,000,000 for
the land disposal environmental cleanup and debris removal of
the Gulfport, Mississippi VA Medical Center. The attached bill
directs the Department of Veterans Affairs to transfer the
property associated with the VA's medical facility to the city
of Gulfport, Mississippi and includes $50,000,000 to compensate
the VA. Before any such transfer may take place, the VA shall
undertake an environmentally cleanup of the property. The
Committee recommendation includes $12,000,000 for this purpose.
The Committee recommendation does not include a general
provision, proposed in the supplemental request, to provide the
Department of Veterans Affairs with the authority to transfer
$122,000,000 of previously appropriated funds from the
``Veterans Health Administration-Medical Services'' account to
other accounts in the Department. The Committee recommendation
does, however, include language making available until expended
the $198,625,000, originally provided in Public Law 109-148. In
addition, the Committee has provided the Department transfer
authority for these funds.

Armed Forces Retirement Home

(MAJOR CONSTRUCTION)

The Committee recommends $176,000,000 for major
construction for the Armed Forces Retirement Home--Gulfport,
Mississippi (AFRH--Gulfport, Mississippi), $176,000,000 above
both the administration's request and the House allowance. The
Committee appreciates the heroic perseverance of the Armed
Forces Retirement Home residents and staff in Gulfport,
Mississippi, and Washington, DC, in the aftermath of Hurricane
Katrina. Further, the Committee understands its obligation to
the residents of the Home, veterans who sacrificed much for the
United States and performed nobly when called to duty. These
veterans deserve nothing less than the average citizen
receiving aid from the Federal Government in the aftermath of
this disaster. They deserve the firm assurance of their
Government that they will be allowed to return home as soon as
possible.
Therefore, the Committee has provided additional funding,
to be combined with prior unobligated balances, which shall be
used to construct a new multi-building, campus-style facility
on the site occupied by the former AFRH--Gulfport, Mississippi.
This facility will allow the residents to be fully reintegrated
into the Gulfport community while still providing for the
facility to be a component of the master plan for the gulf
coast as it rebuilds. This plan will also allow the continued
close relationship between AFRH--Gulfport, Mississippi and the
Seabees at NCBC Gulfport, Mississippi, who provided critical
assistance to the residents of AFRH--Gulfport, Mississippi
during and after Hurricane Katrina.

GENERAL PROVISIONS--THIS CHAPTER

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Highway Administration

EMERGENCY RELIEF PROGRAM

2006 appropriation to date.............................. $2,750,000,000
2006 supplemental estimate..............................................
House allowance.........................................................
Committee Recommendation................................ 594,000,000

The Committee recommends an additional $594,000,000 to
carry out emergency relief [ER] projects for which a formal
request has been submitted to the Federal Highway
Administration [FHWA] and which are included in the current
FHWA ER backlog table, and for projects that are currently
being considered for inclusion in the FHWA ER backlog program.
The committee notes that the recent catastrophic failure of the
Kaloko Reservoir Dam on the Island of Kauai, HI resulted in
substantial damage to the Kuhio Highway. As a result, funds
have also been included in this account to cover the current
estimates for the repair of the Kuhio Highway.

Federal Transit Administration

EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE FOR PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION

The Committee recommends $200,000,000 in additional funds
for grants to State and local governmental entities directly
affected by Hurricane Katrina for expenses related to emergency
response and recovery of public transportation equipment,
facilities, and services, as determined by the Secretary of
Transportation. Under this account, the Secretary may waive
Federal matching share requirements or any other statutory
Federal transit program requirement, as the Secretary
determines. The Secretary may also allow urbanized areas that
he determines to have been directly affected by Hurricane
Katrina and having a population of 200,000 or greater to use
Federal transit funds for operating assistance as well as
capital projects to facilitate response and recovery. The
Secretary's authority under this section shall expire 2 years
after the date of enactment of this section, unless otherwise
determined by the Secretary for a compelling need.

Federal Railroad Administration

CAPITAL GRANTS FOR RAIL LINE RELOCATION

2006 appropriation to date..............................................
2006 supplement estimate...............................................
House allowance.........................................................
Committee recommendation................................ $700,000,000

The Committee recommends $700,000,000 for the Rail Line
Relocation Capital Grant program in order to mitigate damage to
this important link to transport commerce in the gulf coast
region. These funds would be used to relocate tracks that are
currently located along the coast of Mississippi and provide a
connection within the footprints of tracks farther north and
outside the scope of any anticipated hurricane danger. In
particular, the Committee is concerned with the movement of
commerce and the safety of citizens in the gulf coast region as
a result of the effects of Hurricane Katrina and the risks
posed by future hurricanes.
The damaged railroad line is a major east and west freight
corridor adjacent to the Mississippi gulf coast. It is vitally
important to numerous Mississippi, Louisiana, and Alabama
industries and essential to the successful operations of major
Gulf of Mexico ports. The rail line in Mississippi sustained
major damage and total destruction in some areas as a result of
Hurricane Katrina's powerful winds and water surges: eleven
bridges were destroyed, more than 38 miles of track were a
complete loss, signaling and safety systems were demolished,
and many track beds were completely washed out along the rail
corridor. As a result of Hurricane Katrina, the rail line was
out of commission for 143 days and has since re-opened only on
a temporary basis.
Even prior to Katrina, residents, business leaders, and
local and State officials seriously considered relocating the
rail line inland from its present location to alleviate
burgeoning traffic and safety concerns. Gridlock and traffic
congestion associated with the railroad continually worsened as
the region's tourism industry grew. Along Mississippi's gulf
coast alone, there are 170 grade crossings, and risks to
motorists and pedestrians have increased exponentially as
development has occurred. From January 2000 to August 2005, 90
grade crossing accidents involving trains were reported to the
Federal Railroad Administration.

RAILROAD RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

Committee recommendation................................................

Deployment of Safety Overlay Technology.--Within the
amounts made available for the deployment of railroad safety
overlay technology made available in the conference agreement
accompanying Public Law 109-115, the Committee expects that
funds shall be allocated for the purpose of deploying train
control technology for which the FRA is currently considering a
product safety plan. This initiative should build upon an
existing train control demonstration project to which the FRA
has contributed funding and which has successfully demonstrated
train control overlay technology in freight revenue service.

DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT

Public and Indian Housing

TENANT-BASED RENTAL ASSISTANCE

2006 appropriation to date.............................. $16,310,000,000
2006 supplemental estimate.............................. 202,000,000
House allowance.........................................................
Committee recommendation................................ 202,000,000

The Committee recommends $202,000,000 in additional funds
for section 8 tenant- and project-based rental housing
assistance. The administration proposed the same funding level
solely for vouchers. These funds, however, will help cover any
shortfalls in rental contracts supported by section 8 funds
appropriated under Public Law 109-148 (December 30, 2005) to
assist previously assisted HUD tenants in obtaining housing. In
addition, no less than $100,000,000 of the funds made available
under this heading are to be used to provide project-based
assistance for the repair, rebuilding, and other needs of
assisted housing damaged by Katrina and the other hurricanes of
the 2005 season in the gulf. These funds will help expedite the
preservation of the stock of low-income housing in the gulf. In
addition, these funds may also be used to subsidize new tax
credit projects where these projects are replacing destroyed or
obsolete project-based housing or where low-income housing
needs are greatest. The Committee directs HUD to report to the
Committees on Appropriations every 6 months from the date of
enactment on the use of project-based assistance under this
account.
The Committee understands that the impacted States have
developed plans to address the needs of the most vulnerable
citizens--namely, people with disabilities, the elderly, and
the homeless. For example, one State has adopted a plan to
create permanent supportive housing for people with special
needs as part of its broader rental housing rebuilding
strategies. Accordingly, the Committee urges the Department to
work with the States in addressing the needs of the disabled,
the elderly, and the homeless, and directs the Secretary to
submit a report to the House and Senate Committees on
Appropriations within 180 days after the date of enactment of
this act on the States' efforts in addressing these needs.

Community Planning and Development

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT FUND

(INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

2006 appropriation to date.............................. $14,532,000,000
2006 supplemental estimate.............................. 4,200,000,000
House allowance......................................... 4,200,000,000
Committee recommendation................................ 5,200,000,000

The Committee recommends $5,200,000,000 in CDBG funds for
disaster relief, long-term recovery, and restoration of
infrastructure in the most impacted and distressed areas
related to the consequences of Katrina and the other hurricanes
of 2005 in the Gulf of Mexico. The administration proposed
$4,200,000,000 solely for Louisiana. Because other States still
have significant disaster-related needs, the Committee has
included $5,200,000,000. In particular, Mississippi still has
significant needs that will not be adequately addressed through
the earlier appropriation. No State may use more than 5 percent
of amounts allocated for administrative costs directly
associated with administering these funds.
The Committee directs that no less than $1,000,000,000 of
the amounts appropriated under this heading be used for repair,
rehabilitation, and reconstruction (including demolition, site
clearance, and remediation of the low-income affordable housing
stock, including HUD-assisted housing and public housing). None
of the impacted States have focused adequately on low-income
housing and the needs of low-income families. The Committee
also expects that any State receiving CDBG funds under this
account will use no less than the pro-rata share of those funds
for low-income housing.
The Committee includes $12,000,000 for the HUD Office of
the Inspector General to ensure the IG has adequate resources
to address fraud and abuse as well as provide adequate
accountability for the use of CDBG funds throughout this
region.
The Committee notes, that while the Department can waive
the requirement that 50 percent of all funds be used to benefit
low- and moderate-income persons, HUD has never waived this
requirement and can do so only for a compelling need. The
Committee considers this a substantial requirement and does not
expect such a waiver as a practical matter. In addition, CDBG
funds may only be released where a State submits a detailed
plan on how the funds will be used to address long-term
recovery and the restoration of infrastructure. HUD has the
burden to ensure the plan gives priority to these needs as well
as to the rehabilitation and reconstruction of the affordable
rental housing stock, including public housing and HUD-assisted
housing.
The Committee believes that some may have unrealistic
expectations of how CDBG funds can be used. For example, CDBG
funds cannot generally be used for public safety and homeland
security, uncompensated care and mental health services, the
reimbursement of educational services, and social services and
emergency services. These activities and needs are within the
purview of other subcommittees and other programs. Any analysis
of need should be balanced to include an assessment of any
public benefit which may have accrued in certain areas because
of a disaster such as the increased rental of housing units and
increased employment.

2006 supplemental estimate.............................. 37,000,000
House allowance......................................... 37,000,000
Committee recommendation................................ 37,000,000

The Committee recommends $37,000,000 to continue to support
the short- and long-term repair and alterations of buildings
damaged by the hurricanes of 2005, the same as the
administration request. Federal buildings throughout the gulf
coast received significant wind and water damage with estimated
repair and alteration costs far in excess of GSA's ability to
absorb these costs. These funds will pay for the clean up and
repair work that is necessary to make these facilities safe and
fully functional.

TITLE III

EMERGENCY AGRICULTURAL DISASTER ASSISTANCE

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

Commodity Credit Corporation Fund

EMERGENCY AGRICULTURAL DISASTER ASSISTANCE

The Committee recommends $3,944,000,000 for emergency
agricultural disaster assistance. These funds will help farmers
and ranchers in States affected by recent hurricanes, drought,
flood, wildfire, and other natural disasters recover from
resulting production losses. These funds will also assist in
the removal of debris from watersheds in order to minimize the
threat of flooding from future storm events. In addition, the
funds will provide economic assistance to producers to
compensate for high energy costs relating to agricultural
production.

TITLE IV

DROUGHT EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE

U.S. ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS DROUGHT ASSISTANCE

Sec. 4001. The Committee recommendation includes $5,000,000
for the Corps to provide drought assistance to affected areas
of the country, particularly in the southwestern states.

BUREAU OF RECLAMATION DROUGHT ASSISTANCE

Sec. 4002. The Committee recommendation includes $7,500,000
for the Bureau of Reclamation to provide drought assistance.

EMERGENCY DESIGNATION

Sec. 4003. The Committee recommendation includes an
emergency designation for the funds in the title.

TITLE V

PORT SECURITY ENHANCEMENTS

CUSTOMS AND BORDER PROTECTION

Salaries and Expenses

The Committee recommends an additional $266,050,000. Of
this amount: $31,790,000 is to hire sufficient additional
Supply Chain Security Specialists to triple the current number
of specialists involved with conducting inspections and
validations of Customs and Trade Partnership Against Terrorism
participants; $211,000,000 is to purchase additional non-
intrusive inspection equipment for U.S. seaports and rail
border crossings and to hire additional officers to operate the
equipment and conduct additional cargo container inspections;
and $23,260,000 is to hire an additional 50 Customs and Border
Protection inspectors for deployment to overseas Container
Security Initiative [CSI] ports and to double the number of CSI
intelligence specialists in support of the CSI mission.

UNITED STATES COAST GUARD

Operating Expenses

The Committee recommends an additional $23,000,000 to hire
Coast Guard inspectors to validate security plans at domestic
and foreign ports.

OFFICE FOR DOMESTIC PREPAREDNESS

State and Local Programs

The Committee recommends an additional $227,000,000 for
port security grants to address known risks.

SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY

Research, Development, Acquisition, and Operations

The Committee recommends an additional $132,000,000 to
accelerate completion of radiation portal monitor deployments
at U.S. seaports in order to screen 100 percent of inbound

TITLE VI

PANDEMIC FLU

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

Office of the Secretary

PUBLIC HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICES EMERGENCY FUND

2006 appropriation to date.............................. $3,360,027,000
2006 supplemental estimate..............................................
House allowance.........................................................
Committee recommendation................................ 2,300,000,000

The Committee recommendation provides $2,300,000,000, to be
available until expended, for the Department of Health and
Human Services Public Health and Social Services Emergency Fund
to prepare for and respond to an influenza pandemic. The
Committee notes that this appropriation will fulfill the second
year's funding for pandemic influenza activities as originally
requested by the administration. Appropriating these funds at
this time enables long-term plans developed by the department
and pharmaceutical manufacturers to be based on actual
appropriations.
The Committee recommendation includes bill language
designating $300,000,000 for building State and Local Capacity;
$50,000,000 for laboratory capacity and research at the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC]; and at least
$200,000,000 for the CDC to carry out global and domestic
disease surveillance, laboratory capacity and research, risk
communication, laboratory diagnostics, rapid response and
quarantine.
The balance of the funds provided are available to support,
at the Secretary's discretion, other core preparedness
activities, such as expanding the domestic production capacity
of influenza vaccine, developing and stockpiling pandemic
vaccine, and stockpiling antivirals and other medical supplies
necessary to protect and preserve lives in the event of an
outbreak of pandemic influenza.
The Committee directs the Secretary to provide on a semi-
annual basis to the House and Senate Appropriations Committees
a report identifying the disbursements of funds received under
this heading and a listing of the governments, companies and
organizations that received funding. The report should include
the amount and purpose of each grant or other form of
assistance. Finally, the report should include the cumulative
obligations by activity of the funds made available under this
heading for pandemic preparedness, as well as any remaining
unobligated balances.

provision making a technical correction to section 8044 of the
Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2006 regarding the
Office of Economic Adjustment.

INVESTIGATIONS, LOUISIANA HURRICANE STUDY COST SHARING

Sec. 7007. The Committee has recommended a provision that
states that the funds provided in division B, chapter 3,
Investigations, of Public Law 109-148 are not subject to any
non-Federal cost sharing requirement.

MISSISSIPPI RIVER AND TRIBUTARIES

Sec. 7008. The Committee has recommended a provision that
further defines the activities that can be undertaken in
division B, chapter 3, Flood Control, Mississippi River and
Tributaries, Arkansas, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana,
Mississippi, Missouri, and Tennessee, of Public Law 109-148.

MISSISSIPPI RIVER-GULF OUTLET

modifies a provision in division B, chapter 3, Operations and
Maintenance, of Public Law, 109-148, concerning activities that
can be undertaken along the Mississippi River-Gulf Outlet.

SHORE PROTECTION

Sec. 7010. The Committee has included a provision to extend
the duration through September 30, 2006 and increasing the cost
limitation to $25,000,000 for section 227 of Public Law 104-303
in order to allow funds appropriated in the fiscal year 2006

Sec. 7013. The Committee has included a provision that
prohibits the use of any funds in fiscal year 2006 through
April 1, 2007 to initiate a rate case.

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

(INCLUDING RESCISSION OF FUNDS)

Sec. 7014. The Committee recommends rescinding $3,960,000
from the Office of Screening Coordination and Operations [SCO].
The Committee notes that 5 months into the fiscal year the SCO
has not been established. Rather than establish another new
office for departmental integration, the Committee recommends
the funding for the SCO be made available to the Office of the
Secretary and Executive Management for the Office of Policy.
The Office of Policy was established to integrate polices
across the Department and is capable of developing a unified
strategy for screening, developing coordinated screening
policies, overseeing screening programs, and establishing
unified standards. The additional $3,960,000 recommended will
allow the Office of Policy to carry out these functions or
other priorities.

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR--U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY

Sec. 7015. The Committee recommends $500,000 for the U.S.
Geological Survey's Hydrologic Networks and Analysis Program to

Secretary of the Interior to collect fees pursuant to the
Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act until September 30,
2007.

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR--OFFICE OF JOB CORPS

Sec. 7017. The Committee recommends a general provision
which prohibits the Department of Labor from carrying out
Secretary's Order 09-2006. This Order, to establish the Office
of Job Corps as an independent agency within the Department of
Labor as mandated by Congress, instead fragments authority to
other offices, contrary to the intent of the law. The Committee
directs the Secretary to immediately transfer the Office of Job
Corps intact, retaining all its staff, functions, and
authorities.

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR--MINE SAFETY

Sec. 7018. The Committee has included an additional
$25,600,000 to supplement the inspection of coal mines. This
funding is intended to hire additional FTE's to enforce the
relevant provisions of the Mine Safety and Health Act and
regulations pertaining to that act. The Committee does not
intend for this funding to supplant current enforcement
activities. While this money shall be available for 2 years to
give the Mine Safety and Health Administration the time to hire
and train additional personnel, it is expected that the Mine
Safety Health Administration will rapidly hire and train 217
additional FTEs for the coal mine inspection teams. The
Committee recommendation includes bill language requiring the
Secretary to submit progress reports on hiring to the Committee
on Appropriations of the House of Representatives and the
Committee on Appropriations of the Senate on a quarterly basis,
with the first report due June 15, 2006.

CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL--MINE SAFETY

Sec. 7019. The Committee has included an additional
$10,000,000 for research to develop mine safety technology. In
particular, the Committee directs that the funding be used for
mine rescue chambers, emergency tracking, breathing and
communication devices. The Committee is aware that significant
advances have been made in the fields of communications,
robotics, chemistry and other sciences that can be brought to
bear on mine safety. For that reason, the Committee is eager
that grants be made to institutions that routinely partner on
these types of research with other Federal agencies such as the
Department of Defense, the National Aeronautics and Space
Administration, the Department of Homeland Security and the
Department of Energy. The Committee recommendation includes
bill language requiring the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention to submit progress reports on grant-making and
research findings to the Committee on Appropriations of the
House of Representatives and the Committee on Appropriations of
the Senate on a quarterly basis, with the first report due June
15, 2006.

LOW INCOME HOME ENERGY ASSISTANCE

The Committee recommendation strikes the general provision
in the House bill amending section 9001 of the Deficit
Reduction Act of 2005, allowing $750,000,000 in fiscal year
2007 funds to be obligated in fiscal year 2006. Subsequent to
House action, Public Law 109-204 provided $1,000,000,000 for
this program, bringing the total available for fiscal year 2006
to $3,161,170,000.

RAILROAD RETIREMENT BOARD

Sec. 7020. The Committee recommendation includes a new
general provision making a technical correction regarding the
Dual Benefits Payments Account.

HEADSTART REGULATIONS EFFECTIVE DATE

Sec. 7021. The Committee recommendation includes a new
general provision extending the effective date for enforcement
of Head Start transportation regulations.

CAPE CANAVERAL AIR STATION, FLORIDA

The Committee agrees that of the funds made available in
the Military Construction, Military Quality of Life, and
Veterans Affairs Appropriations Act, 2006 (Public Law 109-114),
the funds provided for the ``Satellite Processing Operations
Support Facility'' at Cape Canaveral Air Station, Florida, may

DETAIL AUTHORITY FOR DOT

Sec. 7025. The Committee includes a provision that permits
the Department of Transportation's Office of Intelligence,
Security, and Emergency Response to assess and enter into
certain reimbursable agreements with the modal administrations
for services necessary to carry out emergency preparedness or
emergency response activities The provision also authorizes the
Secretary of Transportation to detail modal administration
employees to the Office of Intelligence, Security, and
Emergency Response without reimbursement and for fixed periods
of time as necessary to carry out emergency preparedness or
emergency response activities with reports to the House and
Senate Committees on Appropriations on these details.

EMERGENCY HIGHWAY FUNDS

Sec. 7026. The Committee includes a provision that replaces
the funding cap for the repair and reconstruction of the I-10
bridge spanning New Orleans and Slidell, Louisiana from
$629,000,000 to $803,000,000.

LIMITATION ON CERTAIN TRANSPORTATION ACTIONS

Sec. 7027. While the Committee has not specifically
addressed the issue of foreign control of U.S. airlines as
proposed by the Department of Transportation, the Committee
believes that the U.S. aviation industry is part of our
critical infrastructure as are the ports. For this reason, it
is critical that any final rule regarding foreign control of
U.S. airlines not only comply with current laws regarding
foreign ownership, but also comply with statutes recently
passed by the Congress which require that all U.S. airlines be
under the ``actual control'' of U.S. citizens. Therefore, the
Committee directs the Secretary of Transportation to refrain
from issuing a final rule for 120 days. The Committee is
seriously concerned about the promulgation of any rule which
would allow any minority foreign investor to exercise control
or decision making authority over any aspect of a U.S. carrier
operation.

DOJ AND TREASURY FUNDING FOR INTELLIGENCE ACTIVITIES

Sec. 7028. The Committee includes a provision authorizing
the use of funds appropriated for intelligence activities for
the Departments of Justice and Treasury during fiscal year 2006
until the enactment of the Intelligence Authorization Act for
fiscal year 2006.

FUNDING FOR TREASURY TRAVEL

Sec. 7029. The Committee has included a technical
correction to Public Law 109-115 related to travel for the
Department of the Treasury's Office of Terrorism and Financial
Intelligence and the Office of International Affairs.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVES CORRECTIONS

Sec. 7030. The Committee includes a provision that makes a
number of technical corrections to EDI grants.

GSA TRANSFER OF PROPERTY

Sec. 7031. The Committee includes a provision that
transfers certain lots of real property to the City of Crosby,
North Dakota from GSA. This property was determined to be no
longer needed for a Homeland Security purpose and will be
reconveyed to the original owner upon enactment of this
legislation.

COMPLIANCE WITH PARAGRAPH 17, RULE XVI OF THE STANDING RULES OF THE
SENATE

Paragraph 7 of rule XVI requires that Committee reports
accompanying general appropriations bills identify each
recommended amendment which proposes an item of appropriation
which is not made to carry out the provisions of an existing
