GLOBAL WAR ON TERROR SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATIONS

CHAPTER 1

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

Foreign Agricultural Service

PUBLIC LAW 480 TITLE II GRANTS

2007 appropriation to date.............................. $1,214,711,000
2007 supplemental estimate.............................. 350,000,000
Committee recommendation................................ 475,000,000

The Committee recommends $475,000,000 for Public Law 480
Title II Grants for humanitarian food assistance in
Afghanistan, Sudan, Chad, other African nations, and for
additional unanticipated emergency needs.
The Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 required
the establishment of a micronutrient fortification program
relating to the utilization of foods for humanitarian
assistance programs such as title II of Public Law 480. The
Committee is concerned that no such program has been
established and strongly encourages the Secretary of
Agriculture to work with the Administrator of USAID to proceed
with establishing contract specifications, testing protocols,
and other actions necessary to ensure that food assistance is
properly targeted to various populations in the most efficient
and effective manner possible.

GENERAL PROVISION--THIS CHAPTER

Sec. 1101. The Committee recommends a general provision to
make available $82,000,000 for replenishment of the Bill
Emerson Humanitarian Trust. When combined with existing cash
and commodities, this amount should be sufficient to meet
approximately one-half of the Trust's authorized level.

The Committee recommends $500,000 for the Inspector
General. On March 9, 2007, the Office of the Inspector General
[OIG] issued a report concerning the FBI's use of national
security letters during the period 2003-2005. The OIG will
issue another report on the FBI's use of national security
letters during 2006, on or about December 31, 2007. The OIG
made 10 recommendations to correct the problems that led to the
misuse of national security letters in its March 9, 2007,
report. As a result, the Committee has provided an additional
$500,000 to the OIG to continue auditing and oversight of this
matter to ensure the FBI implements the recommendations of the
OIG contained in the OIG's reports. The Committee directs the
OIG to report to the Committees on Appropriations, the
Committees on the Judiciary and the Select Committees on
Intelligence on a semi-annual basis on the FBI's progress in
implementing the recommendations contained in the OIG's
reports.

Iraq and Afghanistan. Within the amount provided in this
section, $10,079,000 is provided to upgrade security at the
District of Columbia Courthouse. The Committee notes that
prisoner holding facilities at the District of Columbia

operations in Iraq and Afghanistan as well as new
counterterrorism responsibilities for the FBI in the United
States. The Committee notes that on January 10, 2007, the
President signed National Security Presidential Directive 46
and Homeland Security Presidential 15 Annex II which
transferred authority to conduct render safe activities from
the Department of Defense to the FBI. With the increased
operational needs and new counterterrorism responsibilities,
the Committee has provided funding for the following purposes:
$218,032,000 for counterterrorism operations and investigations
in Iraq and Afghanistan, $110,603,000 for equipment, training
and supplies for render safe activities and $9,625,000 to
counter improvised explosive devices [IEDs].
Finally, the Committee notes the recent report by the
Department of Justice's Office of Inspector General [OIG]
regarding the FBI's use of national security letters. The
report by the Inspector General made ten specific
recommendations to correct the problems that led to the abuses
cited by the OIG. The Committee seeks to ensure that the
recommendations are implemented by the FBI in an expeditious
manner and has directed that $10,000,000 be dedicated to
implementing the OIG recommendations.

OVERVIEW

Committee Recommendation

The Department of Defense requested $91,532,975,000 in
additional emergency supplemental funding to continue the
global war on terror and operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.
This request, together with the $70,000,000,000 already made
available this fiscal year for the global war on terror, brings
the emergency costs of war in fiscal year 2007 to
$161,532,975,000. The Committee has carefully reviewed the
budget request and recommends $92,032,793,000 for operations,
personnel costs, and equipment reconstitution related to the
global war on terror.
This funding will ensure that our forces engaged in
operations overseas have the best force protection equipment
available as well as the most effective weaponry,
communications gear, munitions, and other essential items. The
Committee is pleased to recommend funds to upgrade equipment
for home station training and begin restoring pre-positioned
stocks. The Committee recommendation addresses shortfalls in
the Guard and Reserve by providing funds to re-supply and re-
equip these critical units. Support for the Iraqi and Afghan
security forces is funded enabling those nations to continue
stepping up their roles in building safety and security.
Finally, this recommendation provides funds to ensure that our
wounded warriors receive the medical care and services they
need upon return from theater. The Committee believes that
taking care of our military members and their families is a
moral responsibility and has fully funded programs to meet
those needs.
The Committee remains concerned that the Department
continues to rely on supplemental appropriations 5\1/2\ years
after operations began in Afghanistan. In response to
congressional direction, the Department of Defense [DOD]
submitted the fiscal year 2008 emergency supplemental request
along with the fiscal year 2008 DOD budget. This submission
requesting funds to finance the full year of operations is a
welcome step in providing more complete information to Congress
on prospective war and reset costs. The Committee urges the
Department to return to regular order budgeting and to reflect
ongoing costs in the baseline budget submission.
The Committee is pleased with the improvements the
Department has made in providing detailed justification
materials to support the fiscal year 2007 supplemental request.
For the most part, the exhibits were complete and accurate
enabling a thorough review by the Committee. The Committee
appreciates the extra effort made by the Department staff to
provide comprehensive information and will work with the
Department to ensure that these materials fully meet the
Committee's future requirements.

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
appropriation accounts in this chapter.
Additionally, the Committee directs that the reporting
requirements of section 9010 of Public Law 109-676, the
Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2007, regarding
military operations and stability in Iraq shall apply to the
funds appropriated in this act.

MILITARY PERSONNEL

The Committee recommends $13,435,445,000 for pay,
allowances, and other personnel costs for Active, Reserve, and
Guard troops activated for duty in Iraq, Afghanistan, and other
operations in support of the global war on terror. This
recommendation includes funding for subsistence, permanent
change of station travel, and special pays, including Imminent
Danger Pay, Family Separation Allowance, and Hardship Duty Pay.
The recommendation also fully funds the supplemental
request for recruiting and retention incentives. The Committee
is aware of the challenges the services face in meeting the
recruiting and retention goals necessary to sustain their
authorized end strengths and supports the additional resources
requested to achieve those goals.
Basic Allowance for Housing.--The Committee includes an
additional $1,085,821,000 for Basic Allowance for Housing in
order to fully fund requirements identified by the services.

military operations by the services and Special Operations
Forces for incremental pre-deployment training and support,

sustainment of equipment, and the full range of logistics and
communications and intelligence assets support. The operation
and maintenance accounts also include funding for repair
activities which involve the necessary depot and intermediate
maintenance required to restore equipment returning from Iraq
and Afghanistan to pre-deployment conditions. Finally, the
majority of the costs to ``surge'' combat forces to Iraq and
the CENTCOM area of responsibility are operation and
maintenance costs and include funding for supplies, fuel,

for units extending their time in-country and for the
additional units deploying to the region.

Operation and Maintenance, Navy

2007 appropriation to date.............................. $32,569,322,000
2007 supplemental estimate.............................. 5,040,482,000
Committee recommendation................................ 4,865,003,000

The Committee recommends $4,865,003,000 for Operation and
Maintenance, Navy. The recommendation is $175,479,000 below the
estimate.

Unexecutable Depot Maintenance.--The Navy requested funding
for additional depot maintenance associated with the surge of
combat forces to Iraq and the CENTCOM area of responsibility.
Subsequent to the budget submission, based on more recent
analysis of depot maintenance requirements, this budget
adjustment reduces the amount of funding identified by the Navy
that is unexecutable in fiscal year 2007.

Operation and Maintenance, Marine Corps

2007 appropriation to date.............................. $6,500,443,000
2007 supplemental estimate.............................. 1,401,594,000
Committee recommendation................................ 1,101,594,000

The Committee recommends $1,101,594,000 for Operation and
Maintenance, Marine Corps. The recommendation is $300,000,000
below the estimate.

Unexecutable Funding.--Subsequent to the budget submission,
the Marine Corps identified $300,000,000 that is unexecutable
in fiscal year 2007 based on unanticipated lag time associated
with current funding execution.

Operation and Maintenance, Air Force

2007 appropriation to date.............................. $33,147,136,000
2007 supplemental estimate.............................. 7,035,881,000
Committee recommendation................................ 6,685,881,000

The Committee recommends $6,685,881,000 for Operation and
Maintenance, Air Force. The recommendation is $350,000,000
below the estimate.

Base Operations Program Growth Reduction.--Between fiscal
year 2006 and fiscal year 2007, the amount requested for Base
Operations has increased by $544,000,000 (almost 37 percent).
The Committee believes this increase is excessive and
recommends a reduction of $200,000,000. This leaves a 20
percent increase from fiscal year 2006 and allows for modest
growth caused by additional requirements and some one time
costs.
Airlift Operations Program Growth Reduction.--Operating
Support Costs associated with this budget line item funds the
reconstitution of tools and equipment at mobility enroute
locations. The Air Force spent $27,000,000 on these costs in
fiscal year 2006 and received $13,000,000 for this program in
title IX of the Department of Defense Appropriations Act of
2007. The fiscal year 2007 supplemental requests an additional
$317,000,000, bringing the total fiscal year 2007 request to
over 12 times the amount that was executed in fiscal year 2006.
Therefore, the Committee is recommending a reduction of
$150,000,000 which still allows program growth for over six
times the amount executed in fiscal year 2006.

Operation and Maintenance, Defense-wide

2007 appropriation to date.............................. $22,810,148,000
2007 supplemental estimate.............................. 3,279,307,000
Committee recommendation................................ 2,790,669,000

The Committee recommends $2,790,669,000 for Operation and
Maintenance, Defense-wide. The recommendation is $488,638,000
below the estimate.

Coalition Support and Related Programs.--The Defense
Department has requested $950,000,000 for programs related to
supporting coalition efforts in the war on terror. The
Committee is recommending $500,000,000 for this purpose.
Included in the request is $350,000,000 for the Global Lift and
Sustain and Global Train and Equip programs. The Department has
provided insufficient justification to warrant funding these
programs. The Committee recommends denying the requested
funding, and notes that authorities exist for the Defense
Department to reprogram funds into this area if it can explain
the specific use of the funding. In addition, the Committee is
recommending a reduction of $100,000,000 from coalition support
based on low obligation rates.

Operation and Maintenance, Army Reserve

2007 appropriation to date.............................. $2,371,814,000
2007 supplemental estimate.............................. $74,049,000
Committee recommendation................................ 74,049,000

2007 supplemental estimate.............................. 13,591,000
Committee recommendation................................ 13,591,000

The Committee recommends $13,591,000 for Operation and
Maintenance, Marine Corps Reserve. The recommendation is equal
to the estimate.

Operation and Maintenance, Air Force Reserve

Committee recommendation................................ 10,160,000

The Committee recommends $10,160,000 for Operation and
Maintenance, Air Force Reserve. The recommendation is equal to
the estimate.

Operation and Maintenance, Army National Guard

2007 supplemental estimate.............................. 38,429,000
Committee recommendation................................ 38,429,000

The Committee recommends $38,429,000 for Operation and
Maintenance, Air National Guard. The recommendation is equal to
the estimate.

Afghanistan Security Forces Fund

2007 appropriation to date.............................. $1,500,000,000
2007 supplemental estimate.............................. 5,906,400,000
Committee recommendation................................ 5,906,400,000

The Committee recommends $5,906,400,000 for the Afghanistan
Security Forces Fund. The recommendation is equal to the
estimate.

Iraq Security Forces Fund

2007 appropriation to date.............................. $1,700,000,000
2007 supplemental estimate.............................. 3,842,300,000
Committee recommendation................................ 3,842,300,000

The Committee recommends $3,842,300,000 for the Iraq
Security Forces Fund. The recommendation is equal to the
estimate.

Iraq Freedom Fund

2007 appropriation to date.............................. $50,000,000
2007 supplemental estimate.............................. 455,600,000
Committee recommendation................................ 455,600,000

The Committee recommends $455,600,000 for the Iraq Freedom
Fund. The recommendation is equal to the estimate.
Of the amount provided for the Joint Rapid Acquisition
Cell, $29,500,000 is designated for heavy armored vehicles to
fulfill a CENTCOM Joint Urgent Operational Need [JUON]. In
addition, $16,000,000 is provided for armored passenger
vehicles for Army intelligence units in theater and to support
other operations in Iraq.

Joint Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Fund

2007 appropriation to date.............................. $1,920,000,000
2007 supplemental estimate.............................. 2,432,800,000
Committee recommendation................................ 2,432,800,000

The Committee recommends $2,432,800,000 for the Joint
Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Fund. The recommendation is
equal to the estimate.

Improvised explosive devices continue to be a critical
threat to the safety of the United States 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
$2,432,800,000, as requested, in the ``Joint Improvised
Explosive Device Defeat Fund.'' The funds may only be used for
activities that support the IED defeat objective. Therefore,
the Committee directs the Department to continue to 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
commitments, obligations and expenditures of this Fund.
The Committee is concerned that the Joint Improvised
Explosive Device Defeat Organization [JIEDDO] is operating
under a broad directive from the Deputy Secretary of Defense
that does not provide enough clarity and definition for its
roles and authority within the Department of Defense. The
Committee understands that a strategic plan has been under
development for quite some time. To date, however, this plan
has only been coordinated with the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The
Committee feels strongly that this plan should also be
coordinated with the services and the intelligence community.
The Committee believes this strategic plan should include a
comprehensive mission statement, definitions for potential
counter IED solutions that could be eligible for funding, a
delineation of JIEDDO's role in training and intelligence
support, and the long term and short term goals, objectives,
and measures of success for all aspects of the organization.
The Department of Defense has stated that the strategic plan
will be finalized by August 2007. Therefore, the Committee
directs the Department of Defense to finalize the JIEDDO
strategic plan no later than August 17, 2007, and submit this
plan to the congressional defense committees.
The Committee is also concerned over the exponential growth
of JIEDDO. The Committee has limited visibility into current
staffing and future staffing requirements and is concerned that
certain contractor support is not being accounted for properly
by JIEDDO. Therefore, the Committee directs JIEDDO to provide a
report to the congressional defense committees on current
staffing levels and future staffing requirements, broken down
by function, contractor, civilian, military, and detail from
other agencies, no later than May 18, 2007. This report should
also include all contractor support that is provided through
various contracts. The Committee further directs JIEDDO to
update this report after the strategic plan is finalized and
after any future manning document changes have been made.

PROCUREMENT

The Committee recommends $24,507,633,000 for procurement.
This funds the services' most urgent procurement needs,
including improvements for force protection equipment,
replacement, repair and reset of war-torn equipment, essential
equipment and munitions.

Procurement Overview

The Department's reliance on supplemental appropriations to
procure equipment has grown significantly. In fiscal year 2006,
the Congress provided supplemental funding of $23,009,245,000
for equipment based on use in Iraq and Afghanistan; this level
was approximately 23 percent of the total procurement funding
for that year. In fiscal year 2007, the projected supplemental
funding has increased to $44,642,276,000. The Department now
looks to supplemental funding for 35 percent of the total
procurement budget.
Mine Resistant Ambush Protected Vehicle [MRAP].--The mine
resistant ambush protected vehicle [MRAP] is an armored combat
vehicle capable of providing superior protection to our
warfighters from improvised explosive devices [IEDs] and other
threats in theater. The supplemental request includes
$1,831,000,000 to procure and outfit MRAPs for the Army, Marine
Corps, Navy, Air Force and the Special Operations Command. The
Committee has fully funded this request. Combined with funds
previously appropriated, the Committee has now provided
$2,536,000,000 for MRAPs, funding approximately 2,500 vehicles,
subsystems and the associated sustainment costs. Based on data
provided to the Committee, the Committee understands that funds
provided to date fully fund maximum available production
capacity through the end of the fiscal year and well into the
first quarter of fiscal year 2008. The Committee is aware of a
requirement for additional MRAPs that can be executed in fiscal
year 2008. Should additional production capability become
available prior to the beginning of the fiscal year, the
Committee would entertain an above threshold reprogramming to
accelerate production.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED ADJUSTMENTS

The Committee is recommending several adjustments for
programs which it does not believe should be funded in this
emergency supplemental. The Committee urges the Department to
follow standard budgeting guidelines in formulating future
requests and directs it to eliminate the practice of using
emergency supplementals to augment baseline budget needs.
Additional information on the specific recommendations is
included below and the tables to follow.
Premature Funding Requests.--The Committee is recommending
reductions in several procurement programs because funding has
been requested ahead of the Department's ability to use it. For
example, production funding was requested for several items
that are still in development or testing. Funds were also
requested for programs where additional funds are not required
until fiscal year 2008 to maintain stable production rates.
These adjustments are reflected in the tables below with the
notation ``premature funding request''.
Unexecutable Requests.--The Committee recommends reducing
funding that is unexecutable this year due to a variety of
factors such as problems in the production line or an inability
to award contracts in fiscal year 2007. In addition, reductions
are recommended in programs where the quantity requested
exceeds the standard 12 month delivery period. Adjustments to
programs in this category are displayed in the tables below as
``unexecutable requests''.
Baseline Budget Requirements.--The Committee believes that
several items which should be properly requested in the
baseline budget have been included in this emergency
supplemental request. As such, the Committee is recommending
reductions in several programs that are either unrelated to the
war on terror, or reflect other routine, often fact of life,
costs that cannot be justified as emergency. The tables below
list adjustments as ``baseline budget requirements'' to denote
this category.
The following table provides details of the recommendation
for the procurement accounts:

Marine Corps Aviation Survivability Equipment.--Subsequent
to the submission of the fiscal year 2007 supplemental request,
the Marine Corps identified an urgent shortfall of $289,500,000
for aircraft survivability equipment that will directly benefit
theater aircraft safety and reliability. The Committee
recommends the additional funding to address these requirements
as follows: $255,700,000 in the Aircraft Procurement, Navy
account, $31,000,000 in the Research, Development, Test and
Evaluation, Navy account, and $2,800,000 in the Operation and

there does not yet appear to be a stable and transparent
investment plan for equipping and recapitalizing NECC forces.
The Committee therefore directs the Secretary of the Navy
to submit a report to the congressional defense committees no
later than June 15, 2007, which sets forth the requirements for
recapitalizing each of the NECC forces, the requirements for
equipping new and planned NECC forces, and a description of how

yield near-term benefits to the warfighter and result in the
rapid fielding of technologies into theater; however, the
Committee is disappointed that the Department has also
requested funding for longer-term development projects that
will not be deployed for years to come. The Committee has
denied funding for those projects and urges the Department to
seek baseline funding for these initiatives.
The following table provides details of the recommendation
for the research, development, test and evaluation accounts:

Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Army

2007 appropriation to date.............................. $11,054,958,000

for the Defense Working Capital Funds:

OTHER DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE PROGRAMS

Defense Health Program and Medical Support Fund

2007 appropriation to date.............................. $21,217,000,000
2007 supplemental estimate.............................. 1,123,147,000
Committee recommendation................................ 2,466,847,000

The Committee recommends $2,466,847,000 for the Defense
Health Program and the Medical Support Fund. The recommendation
is $1,343,700,000 above the estimate.
These funds are recommended to provide for medical costs
related to patient transportation, blood services, and other
medical-related activities not covered by other operational
resources. These funds would also provide health care for
activated reservists and their families.

Military Health Care Budget.--The Committee is deeply
concerned that the Department of Defense continues to base its
budget requests for military healthcare on the private sector
practices. This approach does not properly consider the unique
nature of the military healthcare system. Moreover, it ignores
the current environment our military is serving and has been
detrimental to the quality and availability of care for our
service members and their families. Our military healthcare
system must be properly resourced to address necessary
requirements. Beginning in fiscal year 2006, the Department of
Defense mandated savings in the military treatment facilities
by instituting an ``efficiency wedge''. The services were not
given guidance on implementing these cuts, but were required to
find savings. These decreases place enormous pressure on an
already strained budget for military health care, delay
necessary sustainment and restoration projects, critical
hiring, and procurement requirements. Not only do we need to
sustain our military healthcare system with the proper
resources, but we also expect our military healthcare to
advance with modern medicine. This requires investment in our
healthcare. The Department is headed in the opposite direction.
To alleviate this pressure in fiscal year 2007, the Committee
recommends a total of $500,000,000 in operations and
maintenance and procurement funding to address the critical
needs of the services. The Committee directs each Service to
provide a report to the Committee on the use of these funds, no
later than June 29, 2007. The Committee is also concerned over
the potential impact of future cuts and urges the Department to
review its fiscal year 2008 budget request for the Defense
Health Program and submit necessary changes to the Congress to
properly resource our military healthcare system.
As part of the President's fiscal year 2007 budget request,
the Department of Defense proposed increases in fees for
Tricare beneficiaries. The fiscal year 2007 budget was based on
the assumption that these proposals would be approved by the
Congress, which ultimately left a shortfall in excess of
$740,000,000. To address the immediate shortfalls from this
decrease in fiscal year 2007, the Committee has included an
additional $742,000,000. The Committee understands that the
Department again plans to pursue legislative changes in fiscal
year 2008. The Committee strongly encourages the Department of
Defense to review the upcoming recommendations from the Task
Force on the Future of our Military Health Care before
proceeding.
Traumatic Brain Injury [TBI].--The Committee directs the
Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs to submit a
report to the congressional defense committees regarding the
extent of treatment of and outreach toward patients with
traumatic brain injury, through military and VA hospitals, and
outpatient clinics, and their families within 120 days after
enactment of this act, describing the Department's diagnosis
and screening processes for TBI; describing the communication
procedures and policies for family members of TBI patients;
providing an accounting of the number of service members
suffering from TBI currently in the DOD health care system;
providing an accounting of how many TBI patients have been
discharged, separated, or retired from the DOD; and providing
an accounting of funds budgeted and expended for these efforts.

CHAPTER 5

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Office of the Under Secretary for Management

The Committee is concerned that the management and
administrative challenges facing the Department will increase
unless a stronger focus is placed on hiring, training, and
maintaining career leaders. The combined factors of a large
number of political appointees and contractors filling
government positions, along with high Senior Executive Service
[SES] vacancy rates is impeding the Department's ability to
meet current and future challenges. In particular, the
Committee is concerned that the Department and its components
will not be able to function effectively when the change in
administration occurs in 2009.
Accordingly, the Committee directs the Under Secretary for
Management to provide a report identifying: (1) a listing, by
office and component, of all SES positions vacant and filled,
including career, non-career and political; (2) the total
number of DHS contractors by office and component, including
the average cost of a DHS contractor, and the number of
contractors filling inherently governmental positions; (3) the
total number of DHS political appointees by office and
component; and (4) a listing, by office and component, of all
current vacancies and projected retirements over the next 2
years. The report shall also include the following: (1)
progress made in filling senior level vacancies as well as
remaining challenges; (2) an assessment of the Department's
allocation between political, career, and non-career SES
positions; (3) an assessment of the appropriateness of the
overall number of SES allocations for DHS given its size and
broad mission objectives; (4) an assessment of the adequacy of
career Senior Executive Service and other career development
programs; (5) gaps in the Department's career senior leadership
structure, including risks associated with reliance on
political and contract employees versus career staff; and (6) a
plan to address necessary changes, including dates for key
milestones and deliverables. The Under Secretary shall submit
this report to the Committees on Appropriations of the Senate
and the House of Representatives no later than July 20, 2007.
The Committee also directs the Government Accountability Office
to assess strengths and weaknesses of the report no later than
90 days after the Department submits the report.

OFFICE OF THE CHIEF INFORMATION OFFICER

The Chief Information Officer is directed to submit to the
Committees on Appropriations of the Senate and the House of
Representatives by April 30, 2007, a report on the full costs
to transition information to the Department of Homeland
Security's primary data center. This report is to include: a
schedule, by departmental component for data transition; costs,
by component for each fiscal year required to complete the
transition; identification, by component of items associated
with the transition required to be procured and related
procurement schedule; and identification of any transition
costs, by component, provided in fiscal year 2007 or requested
in the fiscal year 2008 President's budget.

United States Customs and Border Protection

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

2007 appropriation to date.............................. $5,562,186,000
2007 supplemental estimate..............................................
Committee recommendation................................ 140,000,000

The Committee recommends an additional $140,000,000 for
salaries and expenses. Of this amount, $100,000,000 is to
enhance the secure freight initiative and to begin
implementation of the SAFE Port Act (Public Law 109-347)
requirements to purchase additional non-intrusive inspection
equipment, integrate equipment with radiation portal monitors
at northern border ports of entry, enhance targeting of cargo
containers, and address the overseas and domestic port staffing
requirements. The Committee anticipates that no fewer than 200
additional positions will be hired with these funds.
The Committee also provides $40,000,000: to address United
States Customs and Border Protection [CBP] officer staffing
shortfalls at northern border ports of entry; for screening of
passengers and containers for admissibility and threat and to
facilitate trade; hiring of pilots and marine officers for the
northern border; procurement of additional vehicles; addressing
CBP officer workstation and software deficiencies; and other
necessary activities to ``harden'' CBP-owned ports of entry.
The Committee directs CBP to submit an expenditure plan and
a staffing plan for these additional funds to the Committees on
Appropriations of the Senate and the House of Representatives
no later than 30 days after enactment of this act and prior to
the obligation of the funds.

Air and Marine Interdiction, Operations, Maintenance, and Procurement

2007 appropriation to date.............................. $602,187,000
2007 supplemental estimate..............................................
Committee recommendation................................ 75,000,000

The Committee recommends an additional $75,000,000 for air
and marine interdiction, operations, maintenance, and
procurement. Included in this amount are funds to establish the
final northern border air wing, as well as to procure
additional fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters, unmanned aircraft
systems, marine and riverine vessels, and enhanced radar
coverage to meet existing shortfalls along the United States-
Canada border. The Committee directs CBP to submit an
expenditure plan for the procurement and placement of this
equipment to the Committees on Appropriations of the Senate and
the House of Representatives no later than 30 days after the
enactment of this act and prior to the obligation of these
funds.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

2007 appropriation to date.............................. $3,887,000,000
2007 supplemental estimate..............................................
Committee recommendation................................ 20,000,000

The Committee recommends an additional $20,000,000 for
salaries and expenses. Of this amount, $10,000,000 is provided
for the Human Smuggling and Trafficking Center to better
coordinate efforts within the Department of Homeland Security
and between the Department and other Federal agencies to stem
the flow of, and trafficking in, illegal aliens (as described
in S. 4, the Improving America's Security Act of 2007).
An additional $10,000,000 is provided to create a security
advisory opinion [SAO] review unit within the Visa Security
Program [VSP]. Authorized under section 428 of the Homeland
Security Act of 2002 (Public Law 107-296), the VSP is designed
to prevent potentially dangerous individuals from entering the
United States by participating in the visa screening process at
a U.S. Embassy or consulate. These funds are provided to stand
up the SAO unit, provide agents to evaluate SAO requests, and
to ensure that the VSP fully participates in the SAO process to
provide the advice and intelligence required by the U.S.
Department of State in making determinations regarding visa
issuance. The unit will be placed in VSP headquarters since the
majority of SAO requests are processed in the United States.

Transportation Security Administration

AVIATION SECURITY

2007 appropriation to date.............................. $4,731,814,000
2007 supplemental estimate..............................................
Committee recommendation................................ 660,000,000

The Committee recommends an additional $660,000,000 for
aviation security. Of this amount, $600,000,000 is for the
purchase and installation of explosives detection systems [EDS]
to address a significant need for EDS technology at airports
nationwide. A recent independent baggage screening study
estimated that over $3,600,000,000 is necessary for optimal
screening solutions at airports nationwide. According to the
Transportation Security Administration [TSA] and independent
studies, increased investment in EDS in-line systems results in
greater security by reducing the need for less effective and
more time consuming screening solutions. The Committee directs
TSA to utilize these funds consistent with optimal screening
solutions prioritized in its strategic plan for electronic
baggage screening. TSA shall submit a revised fiscal year 2007
EDS expenditure plan no later than 90 days after the enactment
of this act.
As part of the recommended amount, $60,000,000 is provided
to strengthen air cargo security. To establish a more robust
enforcement and compliance regime, funding shall be used to
hire no fewer than 300 additional air cargo inspectors. TSA
shall deploy inspectors to airports that handle the highest
volume of air cargo and increase the number of strike team
inspections at those airports. Funding shall be used to expand
the National Explosives Detection Canine Program by no fewer
than 100 teams. TSA may utilize a portion of these funds for
proprietary canine teams led by TSA personnel, where
appropriate. The Committee also encourages TSA to pursue canine
screening methods being utilized internationally which focus on
air samples taken from air cargo for explosives detection.
Finally, funds shall be used to complete vulnerability
assessments described in TSA's recent report on air cargo
security and for equipment, technology, and other methods to
screen air cargo.
The August 2006 plot to blow up commercial airliners over
the Atlantic Ocean proved that new technologies are necessary
to detect threats such as liquid explosives at airport
checkpoints. The Committee supports funding for emerging
checkpoint technologies, but is concerned with current high
unobligated balances for the program. Based on a recent report
provided to the Committee, TSA had nearly $192,000,000 in
unobligated authority as of January 31, 2007. The Committee is
disappointed that TSA failed to meet a January 23, 2007,
deadline to submit a strategic plan for deployment of
checkpoint technologies. The Committee directs TSA to submit
this plan expeditiously so that the Committee can make informed
budgetary decisions with regard to checkpoint technologies.

FEDERAL AIR MARSHALS

2007 appropriation to date.............................. $714,294,000
2007 supplemental estimate..............................................
Committee recommendation................................ 15,000,000

The Committee recommends $15,000,000 for the Federal air
marshals to address needs brought about by the threat level for
the aviation sector, which has been at ``orange'' or ``high''
since August 2006.

Preparedness

MANAGEMENT AND ADMINISTRATION

2007 appropriation to datex............................. $30,572,000
2007 supplemental estimate..............................................
Committee recommendation................................ 18,000,000

The Committee recommends $18,000,000 for the Office of the
Chief Medical Officer. Of this amount, $4,000,000 is to support
development of end-to-end base plans for managing attacks with
weapons of mass destruction, managing biodefense activities and
the other activities of this Office. The remaining recommended
amount of $14,000,000 is for a post nuclear event response
assessment to expeditiously model the effects of a 0.1, 1.0 and
10 kiloton nuclear bomb for each tier one Urban Area Security
Initiative [UASI] cities; assess the level of current response
and recovery planning of all levels of government; the adequacy
of public shelter facilities and preplanned guidance to the
public; document appropriate practices for responding to such
an event; assess if affected infrastructure would be sufficient
to support the proposed response; ensure coordination with the
Department, State and local governments, and the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention for delivery of prepackaged
announcements with major radio and television outlets; ensure
consistent and sufficient information is available to the
public, medical and first responders on appropriate protective
actions to prepare for and respond to a nuclear explosion. The
Department of Homeland Security shall also enter into an
agreement with the National Academy of Science [NAS] to provide
a report on the current state of nuclear preparedness of the
tier one UASI cities. NAS shall evaluate the Department's
estimates of the effects of a nuclear attack and the current
level of preparation in tier one UASI cities; and shall report
on available healthcare capacity to treat the affected
population, treatments available for pertinent radiation
illnesses, efficacy of medical countermeasures, the likely
capability of the Federal, State, and local authorities to
deliver available medical countermeasures in a timely enough
way to be effective, and the overall expected benefit of
available countermeasures and those in the development
pipeline. NAS shall also assess the availability, quality and
benefit of public and medical education on reducing the illness
and death associated with a nuclear attack.

INFRASTRUCTURE PROTECTION AND INFORMATION SECURITY

2007 appropriation to datex............................. $547,633,000
2007 supplemental estimate..............................................
Committee recommendation................................ 18,000,000

The Committee recommends $18,000,000 for ensuring that
chemical facilities complete and submit vulnerability
assessments; for hiring and training of inspectors and other
staff; and for other activities to ensure the enforcement of
regulations regarding chemical site security.

Federal Emergency Management Agency

ADMINISTRATIVE AND REGIONAL OPERATIONS

2007 appropriation to date.............................. $232,760,000
2007 supplemental estimate..............................................
Committee recommendation................................ 20,000,000

To facilitate prevention, preparedness, response, and
recovery consistent with title VI of Public Law 109-295, the
Committee provides $20,000,000. The Department shall submit an
expenditure plan, within 45 days of enactment of this act for
approval by the Committees on Appropriations of the Senate and
the House of Representatives, outlining spending for regional
strike teams; financial systems to support the reorganization
and disaster management; and the Law Enforcement Liaison
Office, the Disability Coordinator Office and the National
Advisory Council.

STATE AND LOCAL PROGRAMS

2007 appropriation to date.............................. $2,531,000,000
2007 supplemental estimate..............................................
Committee recommendation................................ 850,000,000

Pursuant to the SAFE Port Act (Public Law 109-347), the
Committee recommends an increase of $190,000,000 for port
security grants to address known risks. In 2003, the Coast
Guard estimated that $5,400,000,000 would be needed through
2012 for facility security costs at our ports. With the amount
of funds currently provided, major projects that provide needed
security for ports are not currently being completed due to
lack of funding.
The Committee includes an increase of $625,000,000 for rail
and transit security to address known risks. Attacks in London,
Madrid, Moscow, Tokyo, and most recently in Mumbai, India
demonstrate the need to address security gaps in the rail and
transit modes of transportation. Five times as many passengers
travel by rail and transit than by air.
The Committee is concerned that the Department has failed
to promote regional planning for catastrophic events. The
Committee recommends $35,000,000 for grants and technical
assistance to tier one urban area security initiative [UASI]
cities and other participating governments, in conjunction with
the appropriate Federal Emergency Management Agency regional
offices, for the purpose of developing regional catastrophic
event plans and preparedness.
Regional grants and technical assistance to high risk urban
areas for catastrophic event planning and preparedness shall
include logistics, preparedness, response (including mass
evacuation and shelter-in-place), and recovery for each urban
area's risks. In addition, this effort shall ensure that public
and business education and outreach is completed to promote
preparedness. This funding shall be spent in accordance with,
but not limited to, Homeland Security Presidential Directive-8,
the interim National Preparedness Goal (or any succeeding
document), and the National Incident Management System. The
Department shall report to Congress no later than January 15,
2008 regarding the results of this effort.

EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PERFORMANCE GRANTS

2007 appropriation to date.............................. $200,000,000
2007 supplemental estimate..............................................
Committee recommendation................................ 100,000,000

The Committee recommends an additional $100,000,000 for
Emergency Management Performance Grants to assist State and
local governments in updating emergency plans. The Department's
report, entitled ``Nationwide Plan Review'', demonstrates a
clear need to update State and local emergency plans. According
to the Department, 61 percent of States and 69 percent of urban
areas do not have adequate plans to respond to a catastrophic
event. These funds are provided to update State and local
plans.

United States Citizenship and Immigration Services

2007 appropriation to date.............................. $181,990,000
2007 supplemental estimate..............................................
Committee recommendation................................ 30,000,000

The Committee recommends an additional $30,000,000 for U.S.
Citizenship and Immigration Services [USCIS]. The Committee
recognizes that USCIS has made substantial progress over the
last several years to successfully address the backlog of
applications and petitions within its control. However, there
continues to be a backlog of applications and petitions for
which the Federal Bureau of Investigation [FBI] has not
completed the required security checks. The Committee
understands there are approximately 170,000 of these cases,
with some of them pending for several years.
The Committee finds this situation unacceptable and has
provided funding to address this issue. While the Committee
continues to expect USCIS to be a fee-funded agency,
historically the Committee has provided appropriated funding to
address specific backlogs when necessary. The Committee
believes given the seriousness of the backlog of security
checks, it is appropriate to provide appropriated funding in
this narrow instance.
The Committee has also restricted the ability of USCIS to
obligate this funding until the Secretary of Homeland Security,
jointly with the United States Attorney General, provides a
specific plan to the Committees on Appropriations of the Senate
and the House of Representatives that describes how this issue
will be addressed comprehensively. The Committee directs the
report to outline how the funding will be used, and how USCIS
and the FBI will use existing funding to supplement the amount
provided in this act in order to eliminate the backlogs of
security checks. Further, the Committee expects this plan will
describe the existing business processes for security checks,
the reforms made, the information sharing protocols employed,
and the total level of resources used to address the backlog.

Science And Technology

RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT, ACQUISITION, AND OPERATIONS

2007 appropriation to date.............................. $838,109,000
2007 supplemental estimate..............................................
Committee recommendation................................ 15,000,000

The Committee recommends an additional $15,000,000 for
research into improved technologies to protect aircraft from
explosives and other harmful materials within air cargo. These
technologies may include explosives detection systems for bulk
cargo and strengthening cargo containment systems to improve
resistance to explosions.

Domestic Nuclear Detection Office

RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT, AND OPERATIONS

2007 appropriation to date.............................. $272,500,000
2007 supplemental estimate..............................................
Committee recommendation................................ 39,000,000

The Committee recommends an additional $39,000,000 for non-
container, rail, aviation, and intermodal radiation detection
activities. Of this amount, $5,000,000 is for an intermodal
test center to enhance detection at links between seaports and
railroads; $8,000,000 is to accelerate development and
deployment of detection systems at international rail border
crossings; and $26,000,000 is for deployment of ``backpack''
screening to 49 key airports of entry to screen general
aviation aircraft, development of a mobile detection system,
analysis of alternatives for air cargo scanning, completion of
pilot deployments at two airports, completion of surveys at
five airports for fiscal year 2008 pilots; and pilot test
radiation portal monitors at five international airports to
detect radioactive materials carried by passengers on their
persons and carry-on baggage.

GENERAL PROVISIONS--THIS CHAPTER

Sec. 1501. The Committee includes a provision preventing
the use of funds available to the Department of Homeland
Security in fiscal year 2007 to carry out section 872 of Public
Law 107-296. Section 872 provides the Secretary of Homeland
Security with authority to reorganize functions and
organizational units of the Department without congressional
approval. Since the creation of the Department of Homeland
Security in March 2003, the Secretary has exercised section 872
authority nine times.
Sec. 1502. The Committee includes a provision to amend
section 550 of the Department of Homeland Security
Appropriations Act, 2007 (6 U.S.C. 121 note).

CHAPTER 6

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

MILITARY CONSTRUCTION

Iraq.--The Committee has carefully reviewed the President's
request for emergency military construction funds to support
the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Committee remains
concerned about the sustained level of military construction
activities in Iraq more than 4 years after the onset of the
war, particularly in light of the fact that the Committee has
expressly rejected the establishment of permanent U.S. military
bases in Iraq.
The Committee understands that the Department plans to
consolidate U.S. forces in Iraq into a total of eight bases--
four contingency operating locations and four convoy centers.
It is the intent of the Committee that the military
construction funds provided in this and previous appropriations
acts for those eight installations be used to maintain them as
temporary, expeditionary bases and not be used to lay the
groundwork for a permanent U.S. military presence in Iraq. This
bill provides a total of $280,300,000 for military construction
in Iraq. The Committee has included bill language prohibiting
the obligation of these funds until the Secretary of Defense
certifies that none of the funds are to be used for the purpose
of providing facilities for the permanent stationing of U.S.
military forces in Iraq.
Supplemental Emergency Construction Funding.--It is the
intent of the Committee that emergency military construction
funding be used only for projects that are truly unanticipated
emergencies and that are expeditionary in nature unless there
is an urgent and compelling operational reason to construct
permanent facilities. As the U.S. military presence in
countries outside of Iraq in the Central Command [CENTCOM] area
of responsibility, such as Afghanistan and Djibouti, evolves
into a longer term, more enduring presence, the nature of
military construction activities in these countries continues
to evolve from purely temporary, expeditionary facilities into
more permanent facilities. In many cases, it appears that
projects for which supplemental emergency funding is requested
are for permanent infrastructure that could and should be
anticipated and included in the regular budget request. In the
future, the Committee expects the Department to submit its
anticipated enduring military construction requirements in the
CENTCOM region through the regular budget process.

Road Projects, Bagram, Afghanistan.--The Army proposes
expending $26,000,000 to construct new roads at Bagram Air
Base, Afghanistan. While this no doubt is a meritorious
project, it does not appear to meet the criteria of an
unanticipated emergency or urgent operational need. The
Committee believes that it would be prudent for the Army to
complete a number of other infrastructure projects at Bagram
also funded in this bill, including an underground power
distribution system, water and sewer distribution system, and
fiber optic manhole and duct system, before embarking on a
major road construction effort at the base. Therefore, the
Committee recommends no funds for this project.

Military Construction, Navy and Marine Corps

2007 appropriation to date.............................. $1,101,500,000
2007 supplemental estimate.............................. 390,500,000
Committee recommendation................................ 347,890,000

The Committee recommends $347,890,000 for Military
Construction, Navy and Marine Corps, instead of $390,500,000 as
requested. The funds are provided as follows:

Water Production and Wastewater Treatment Plant, Camp
Lemonier, Djibouti.--The Department requested a total of
$61,630,000 for four utility infrastructure projects at Camp
Lemonier, Djibouti. According to the justification material
provided for these projects, they are permanent in nature and
are intended to meet not only current needs but also future
requirements related to the planned expansion of Camp Lemonier.
The Committee notes that the Department is in the process of
establishing a new African Command [AFRICOM], and does not
anticipate naming a Commander until next fall. The Committee
believes that the infrastructure requests for Camp Lemonier are
predicated on future use instead of immediate need, and further
believes that the AFRICOM Commander should have a role in
planning the future of Camp Lemonier. For these reasons, the
Committee does not recommend funding for two of the requested
projects, $18,310,000 for a water production plant and
$19,700,000 for a wastewater treatment plant. Due to the harsh
climate and desert conditions at Camp Lemonier, the Committee
recommends funding the Department's request for an electrical
powerplant to provide uninterrupted power and air conditioning,
and a water storage facility to increase the supply of potable
water on the base.

Military Construction, Air Force

2007 appropriation to date.............................. $1,080,306,000
2007 supplemental estimate.............................. 60,200,000
Committee recommendation................................ 34,700,000

The Committee recommends $34,700,000 for Military
Construction, Air Force, instead of $60,200,000 as requested.
The funds are provided as follows:

Parallel Taxiway, Bagram, Afghanistan.--The Department
requested $49,000,000 to construct a new taxiway parallel to
the recently completed runway at Bagram Air Base. According to
the justification documents, the parallel taxiway is needed
because the new runway is 1,000 feet longer on each end than
the existing runway. The Committee is concerned that the
disconnect between the length of the new runway and the
existing taxiway was not incorporated into the planning and
design of the new runway. The Committee understands that the
Air Force originally planned to extend the existing taxiway, at
a lesser cost, instead of constructing a completely new
taxiway, and believes that extending the existing taxiway could
be a more cost-efficient method to address the problem.
Therefore, the Committee recommends $25,000,000 to extend the
existing taxiway.

CHAPTER 7

INTRODUCTION

The Committee recommendation for Department of State and
foreign operations, export financing, and related programs
totals $5,753,446,000, which is equal to the budget request.
These funds are made available to meet humanitarian and
reconstruction needs in Iraq, Afghanistan, Lebanon, Sudan, and
Kosovo; to support other country programs that are important to
United States national interests; and to continue efforts to
prevent the spread of avian influenza. These funds are
allocated according to country summary tables and the tables
under specific account headings in this report.

DEPARTMENT OF STATE AND RELATED AGENCY

DEPARTMENT OF STATE

Administration of Foreign Affairs

DIPLOMATIC AND CONSULAR PROGRAMS

2007 appropriation to date.............................. $4,313,734,000
2007 supplemental estimate.............................. 912,996,000
Committee recommendation................................ 815,796,000

The Committee recommends an additional $815,796,000 for
Diplomatic and Consular Programs for operations and security at
United States Embassies in Iraq, Afghanistan and Sudan, and for
global public diplomacy programs. This amount is $97,200,000
below the budget request, and the Committee intends that these
funds be allocated consistent with the following table:

Afghanistan Security Upgrades.--The Committee recommends
$55,000,000 for security upgrades for State Department
operations in Afghanistan, an increase of $7,845,000 above the
request. Of this amount, $13,000,000 is for armored vehicles
and $42,000,000 is for local guards in Kabul.
Iraq.--The Committee notes that Congress provided
$592,000,000 for construction of a new embassy compound [NEC]
in Baghdad in the fiscal year 2005 Emergency Supplemental
Appropriations Act (Public Law 109-13), which reflected a 10
percent decrease below the President's request due to concerns
with both the size and cost of the project. When the NEC opens
in September 2007, it will be the largest American Embassy in
the world. The Committee remains concerned with proposed
increases in staff and operations of the NEC in the budget
request above those projected in fiscal year 2005. The
Committee requests the Secretary to review the personnel plan
for the mission in Iraq to provide for the minimum number
necessary to achieve U.S. foreign policy goals, giving due
consideration to security threats and the rising cost of
maintaining diplomatic personnel in Iraq.
The Committee supports the U.S. Government Accountability
Office establishing a longer-term presence in Iraq to provide
Congress with direct, continuing oversight of U.S. programs and
activities. The Committee directs the Department of State to
provide GAO staff members with the appropriate clearance and
support to accomplish this mission. Within 45 days of enactment
of this act, the Department of State shall notify Congress in
writing of the steps taken to support GAO's oversight.
Mission Support.--The Committee seeks to control the rate
of increase in costs at Embassy Baghdad and to ensure
that all personnel are housed on the new secure Embassy
compound. The Committee recommends $42,881,000 for U.S.
mission support, a decrease of $4,765,000 below the
budget request, and requests the Secretary of State to
justify further increases in diplomatic staffing levels
in Baghdad.
Logistics Support.--The Committee recommendation does not
include $50,000,000 for temporary housing proposed to
be located outside the NEC. The Committee requests the
Overseas Building Operations Bureau to develop a plan
for appropriate personnel to be accommodated in new,
secure housing facilities within the NEC.
Security.--The Committee recommendation includes
$265,827,000 for security of diplomatic personnel in
Iraq, which is equal to the request.
Information Technology.--The Committee recommendation
includes $7,987,000 for IT, a decrease of $887,000
below the request.
Overhead Security.--The Committee recommends $12,000,000
for overhead security for Provincial Reconstruction
Teams [PRTs], a decrease of $3,000,000 below the
request.
Provincial Reconstruction Teams.--The Committee
recommends $372,696,000 for PRTs, a decrease of
$41,393,000 below the budget request.
Sudan Dignitary Travel.--The Committee recommendation does
not include $5,000,000 for travel costs of U.S. dignitaries
within Sudan, and notes that these funds are customarily
contained within the annual budget request for State Department
operations.
Public Diplomacy.--The Committee recommends $20,000,000 for
public diplomacy programs, an amount equal to the budget
request, and recognizes the potential of effective programs to
enhance the image of the United States abroad.
The Committee is aware of the interest in supporting
moderate websites that promote tolerance and democratic values
in the Middle East and particularly in Muslim majority
countries. The Committee recommends that the Department of
State consider providing support to increase the capabilities
of such bloggers.
The Committee notes the recommendation of the Government
Accountability Office [GAO-06-535], and requires the Secretary
of State to submit a report to the Committee describing a
comprehensive strategy for public diplomacy programming in
predominately Muslim countries to help guide these activities
in fiscal years 2007 and 2008. The report should include the
countries and communities to be targeted in fiscal year 2007
and 2008, the amount of funding to be made available for each
country in fiscal year 2007 and the amount planned for fiscal
year 2008, specific objectives, methodology to be employed,
media sources to be utilized, criteria for measuring the
performance of programs including the number of participants
projected, and anticipated results.
Evacuations/Terrorism Rewards.--The Committee directs the
Office of Management and Budget to apportion $15,000,000 to pay
the costs of evacuations of U.S. citizens from Lebanon on or
after July 16, 2006, pursuant to authority provided in Public
Law 109-268. The Committee recommendation also includes
authority to transfer $20,000,000 from funds made available in
this act for Iraq under the heading Diplomatic and Consular
Programs to the Emergencies in the Diplomatic and Consular
Service account for emergency evacuation of American citizens
abroad or terrorism rewards. The Committee requests to be
consulted prior to the use of this transfer authority.

Office of Inspector General

(INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

2007 appropriation to date.............................. $29,646,000
2007 supplemental estimate.............................. 35,000,000
Committee recommendation................................ 36,500,000

The Committee recommends an additional $36,500,000, an
increase of $1,500,000 above the request. Of this amount,
$35,000,000 is for operations of the Special Inspector General
for Iraq Reconstruction and $1,500,000 is for operations of a
Middle East Regional Office to conduct oversight by the Office
of Inspector General of the Department of State of programs in
Iraq, Afghanistan and the Middle East.

EDUCATIONAL AND CULTURAL EXCHANGE PROGRAMS

2007 appropriation to date.............................. $445,275,000
2007 supplemental estimate.............................. 20,000,000
Committee recommendation................................ 25,000,000

The Committee strongly supports educational and cultural
exchange programs as an effective means for improving
understanding of the United States, particularly in
predominantly Muslim countries. The Committee recommends an
additional $25,000,000 to expand educational and cultural
programs in these countries, an increase of $5,000,000 above
the request. The Committee supports the expansion of exchange
opportunities which reach lower income or disenfranchised
populations. The Committee recommends $1,000,000 for a pilot
program which would create a two-way exchange component of the
Youth Exchange and Study Program [YES] for U.S. secondary
school students to study in Muslim majority countries.
The Committee intends that these funds be allocated
consistent with the following table:

International Organizations

CONTRIBUTIONS TO INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS

2007 appropriation to date.............................. $1,151,318,000
2007 supplemental estimate..............................................
Committee recommendation................................ 59,000,000

The Committee is concerned with the growing U.S. arrearages
to international organizations, particularly those which play a
vital role in combating terrorism, preventing the proliferation
of weapons of mass destruction, and preventing the spread of
avian influenza and other infectious diseases. The United
States increasingly depends on these organizations, while it
has consistently failed to pay its assessed share to support
the costs of their operations. The Committee believes that U.S.
leadership and influence are weakened as a result, and
recommends an additional $59,000,000 for Contributions to
International Organizations to meet fiscal year 2007 assessed
dues to organizations whose missions are critical to protecting
U.S. national security interests.
The Committee intends these funds to be used to pay the
remaining U.S. arrears to the following organizations:
$8,735,000 for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization;
$11,709,000 for the International Atomic Energy Agency;
$7,940,000 for the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical
Weapons; $1,737,000 for the International Civil Aviation
Organization; $11,663,000 for the World Health Organization;
$10,706,000 for the Food and Agriculture Organization; and
$6,510,000 for the Pan American Health Organization.

CONTRIBUTIONS FOR INTERNATIONAL PEACEKEEPING ACTIVITIES

2007 appropriation to date.............................. $1,135,275,000
2007 supplemental estimate.............................. 200,000,000
Committee recommendation................................ 200,000,000

The Committee recommends an additional $200,000,000 for
Contributions for International Peacekeeping Activities, an
amount equal to the request. The Committee recommendation
includes support for increased costs for the following United
Nations peacekeeping missions: $16,000,000 for the U.N. Mission
in Timor Leste [UNMIT]; $184,000,000 for the U.N. Interim Force
in Lebanon [UNIFIL].

increase of $82,000,000 above the request, to address the acute
humanitarian needs of internally displaced persons [IDPs] in
Iraq, Afghanistan, eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo,

the following table:

Lebanon.--The Committee recommends $35,000,000 for
democracy, governance, human rights, and rule of law programs
in Lebanon, an amount equal to that requested under the heading
Economic Support Fund. The Committee intends these funds to be
allocated consistent with the following table:

Pakistan.--The Committee recommendation for Pakistan under

political party development and election monitoring. These
funds are to be administered by the Bureau of Democracy, Human
Rights and Labor, Department of State.

Committee recommendation:
Appropriation....................................... 210,000,000
Rescission.......................................... -13,000,000

The Committee recommends an additional $210,000,000 for
International Narcotics Control and Law Enforcement [INCLE], a
decrease of $50,000,000 below the request. The Committee does
not support the use of INCLE funds for the construction of
buildings and other infrastructure in Iraq.
The Committee rescinds $13,000,000 from funds appropriated
in Public Law 109-234 for the procurement of a maritime patrol
aircraft for the Colombian Navy. The Committee notes that these
funds were not requested by the administration.

Migration and Refugee Assistance

2007 appropriation to date.............................. $832,900,000
2007 supplemental estimate.............................. 71,500,000
Committee recommendation................................ 143,000,000

The Committee recommends an additional $143,000,000 for
Migration and Refugee Assistance, an increase of $71,500,000
above the request. The Committee intends these funds to be
allocated consistent with the following table:

Iraq.--The Committee is concerned with the growing crisis
of Iraqi refugees who are putting great strains on neighboring
countries. The Committee recommends $65,000,000 to respond to
this humanitarian emergency, which is $50,000,000 above the
request. The Committee is aware that Iraqi scholars, including
members of Iraq's university science and engineering research
community and the Iraqi Ministry of Higher Education, are being
targeted and killed. Many have fled the country, leaving their
students, who represent Iraq's best hope for the future, with
no way to continue their studies. The Committee recommends not
less than $5,000,000 to support a program to enable Iraqi
scholars to resettle in Jordan and elsewhere in the region and
to continue their academic research and teaching through
distance learning programs.
Pakistan.--The Committee is aware that the Government of
Pakistan has indicated that it will encourage the three million
Afghan refugees in Pakistan to return to Afghanistan. It is
estimated that as many as one-third of these people may return
home where they lack shelter or employment, putting great
strains on the ability of the impoverished Afghan Government to
care for them. Accordingly, the Committee recommendation
includes $18,000,000 for humanitarian assistance for Afghan
refugees.

The Committee recommends an additional $323,000,000 for
Peacekeeping Operations, which is $45,000,000 above the
request. The Committee recommendation includes $45,000,000 to
support reform of the army and police in Liberia. The Committee
recommendation also includes permissive authority to transfer
up to $128,000,000 to Contributions to International
Peacekeeping Activities, for U.S. assessed dues for
peacekeeping missions if United Nations missions are
established for Somalia, Chad or the Central African Republic,
subject to the regular notification procedures of the
Committees on Appropriations.
The Committee intends that these funds be allocated

GENERAL PROVISION--THIS CHAPTER

EMERGENCY FORESTRY CONSERVATION RESERVE PROGRAM

Sec. 2101. The Committee recommends a general provision
that would allow the Secretary of Agriculture to continue to
enroll eligible participants into Emergency Forestry
Conservation Reserve Program [EFCRP]. The EFCRP was created in
the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina to assist forest landowners
with the restoration of damaged timber stands. The Committee
urges the Natural Resources Conservation Service, where
appropriate, to utilize plant materials that have a proven
record of fast growth, high survivability, and early seed
production in its efforts to restore the watersheds affected in
the 2005 hurricane season.

CHAPTER 2

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

Office of Justice Programs

STATE AND LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT ASSITANCE

2007 appropriation to date.............................. $189,255,000
2007 supplemental estimate..............................................
Committee recommendation................................ 170,000,000

The Committee recommends $170,000,000 for Edward Byrne
Discretionary Grants for State and local law enforcement.
Within the amount recommended, $70,000,000 is to assist
local law enforcement initiatives in the gulf coast region
related to the aftermath of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. The
Committee directs that no less than $55,000,000 be for
initiatives in the State of Louisiana. This funding is
necessary to assist State and local enforcement in fighting
increased violent crime that has plagued the region as a result
of these disasters. The crime epidemic is now threatening the
recovery of the region and immediate assistance is crucial to
stabilizing the region. This funding will provide the necessary
assistance to combat juvenile crime and delinquency, assist in
basic operational costs and restore criminal and civil justice
recordkeeping systems.
The Committee also recommends, within the amount provided,
$100,000,000 for State and local law enforcement entities for
security and related costs, including overtime, associated with
the 2008 Presidential Candidate Nominating Conventions, to be
distributed equally between the city of Denver, Colorado, and
the city of St. Paul, Minnesota. The Committee notes the
precedent for this funding. In 2004 the Committee provided
funding to New York City and Boston for security and related
costs for the 2004 Presidential Candidate Nominating
Conventions.

OPERATIONS, RESEARCH, AND FACILITIES

2007 appropriation to date.............................. $2,797,036,000
2007 supplemental estimate..............................................
Committee recommendation................................ 165,900,000

The Committee recommends $165,900,000 for fisheries
disaster recovery efforts. The recommendation includes:
$20,000,000 for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration's Office of Coast Survey and the Office of
Response and Restoration to conduct scanning and mapping as
well as to provide marine debris removal in Louisiana's
traditional fishing grounds; $85,000,000 for assistance
programs authorized under section 115 of the Magnuson-Stevens
Fishery Conservation and Management Reauthorization Act of
2006, of which $45,000,000 is for Louisiana, $20,000,000 is for
Alabama, and $20,000,000 is for Mississippi; $500,000 for the
National Ocean Service to establish a Physical Oceanographic
Real-Time System [PORTS] in Lake Charles, Louisiana; and
$60,400,000 for disaster relief for commercial salmon fishermen
along the coasts of California and Oregon due to the 2006
salmon fishery failure in the Klamath River as designated under
section 312(a) of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and
Management Act (16 U.S.C. 1861a(a)) and declared by the
Secretary of Commerce on August 10, 2006.

2007 appropriation to date.............................. $1,109,919,000
2007 supplemental estimate..............................................
Committee recommendation................................ 6,000,000

The Committee recommends $6,000,000 for the National Ocean
Service's disaster response and preparedness for the Gulf of

FISHERIES DISASTER MITIGATION FUND

The Committee recommends $50,000,000 for a fund to provide
recovery assistance from fisheries disasters as determined by
the Secretary of Commerce under the Magnuson Stevens Act or the
Interjurisdictional Fisheries Act. The Secretary of Commerce
has authority to declare fishery disasters but currently lacks
available appropriations to assist affected States, fishermen,
fishing communities, and other eligible recipients of financial
assistance. Funding would enable immediate distribution of
disaster assistance upon a declaration of fishery disaster by
the Secretary of Commerce to remedy economic losses.

GENERAL PROVISION--THIS CHAPTER

Sec. 2201. The recommendation includes language to allow
NASA to use up to $48,000,000 in previously appropriated

Funds provided in Public Law 109-148, the third emergency
supplemental appropriations act of 2006, were intended to
complete the West Bank and vicinity and Lake Ponchartrain and
vicinity, Louisiana, projects. The magnitude of the effort is
much greater than was originally anticipated and the funding
provided in Public Law 109-148 for these purposes proved
insufficient. $1,300,000,000 is included for continued work on
the enhancements of these projects to achieve the certification
required for the 100-year level of flood protection in
accordance with the national flood insurance program for the
West Bank and vicinity and Lake Ponchartrain and vicinity,
Louisiana, projects.
An amount of $150,000,000 is provided for repairs to

control structures damaged by high water events in January and
April, 2006 in California; $22,600,000 is provided to repair
damages to levees and flood control structures damaged by high
water events in November 2006 in Washington; $2,500,000 is
provided to repair damages to levees and flood control
structures damaged by the earthquake that occurred in October
2006 and flooding in April 2006 in Hawaii; $23,800,000 is
provided for other emergency needs due primarily to flooding in
North Dakota, Idaho, New York, Texas, Colorado, Pennsylvania,
New Jersey, Kansas, Missouri, Montana, Oregon, South Dakota and
Alaska; and $7,000,000 is provided for drought assistance to
address drought conditions across the country and particularly
extended drought in the upper Great Plains area and the
Southwestern United States.
Authorization and $107,700,000 is provided to construct
interim flood and storm damage reduction measures recommended
in the Chief of Engineers report dated December 31, 2006,
entitled ``Mississippi Coastal Improvements Program, Interim
Report'', Hancock, Harrison, and Jackson Counties, Mississippi
at Federal expense, except that non-Federal interests are
responsible for lands, easements, rights-of-way, relocations
and disposal areas and operation and maintenance of the
completed projects.

Western States. These funds may be provided through the
authority of the Reclamation States Drought Emergency
Assistance Act or other appropriate project authorities to
address drought impacts in the Upper Great Plains and the
Southwestern part of the country.

GENERAL PROVISIONS--THIS CHAPTER

Sec. 2301. A provision is included concerning reimbursement
to local governments for expenses incurred for eligible storm
and flood damage reduction activities.
Sec. 2302. A provision has been included concerning total
project cost ceilings for fiscal year 2008.

expenses for the Disaster Loan Program Account. This amount
will bring the total for administrative expenses for this
account to $140,000,000 for fiscal year 2007, which is the
amount the Administrator of the Small Business Administration
[SBA] has estimated as needed in a letter to the Committee.

GENERAL PROVISIONS--THIS CHAPTER

Sec. 2401. The Committee has included a provision
appropriating $25,000,000 for economic injury disaster loans
administered by the Small Business Administration. The funds
will be used for hurricane relief for small businesses in
Louisiana and Mississippi. The loans will be limited to
businesses with 50 or fewer employees who suffered substantial
economic injury as a result of the gulf hurricanes because of a
reduction in travel or tourism to their areas or the business
operates in a parish or county for which the population is not
greater than 75 percent of the population before August 28,
2005. Up to $8,750,000 of the funds may be used for necessary
administrative expenses to make the loans.
Sec. 2402. The Committee has included a provision with
respect to the Small Business Administration that would extend
the agency's HUBZone program to the Katrina and Rita disaster
areas for a period of 2 years, with the Administrator of SBA
having the option to extend it for a third year. The HUBZone
program confers certain Federal contracting preferences to
small businesses located in economically distressed areas.

Forest Service

NATIONAL FOREST SYSTEM

2007 appropriation to date.............................. $1,445,646,000
2007 supplemental estimate..............................................
Committee recommendation................................ 12,000,000

The Committee recommends an additional $12,000,000 for the
national forest system to begin implementing the national
initiative to significantly increase law enforcement operations
on national forest lands proposed in the administration's
fiscal year 2008 budget submission. The Committee is extremely
concerned that foreign drug-trafficking organizations are
rapidly increasing the amount of marijuana grown and trafficked
on national forests. The Committee believes that the Forest
Service should not wait for the beginning of a new fiscal year
to move forward with plans to increase drug eradication and
improve public safety. Therefore, the Committee has included
funding to hire, train and equip new law enforcement personnel
and fund cooperative agreements to increase protection of
national forest lands. The Committee directs that this funding
be targeted to those areas of the country and those national
forests that face the highest concentration of drug-trafficking
activity. Within 60 days after the enactment of this act, the
Forest Service shall provide the Committee with a detailed
spending plan, which includes the proposed number and location
of new personnel and the amount of training, equipment and
cooperative agreements to be funded.

2007 appropriation to date.............................. $5,837,572,000
2007 supplemental estimate..............................................
Committee recommendation................................ 13,000,000

The Committee has included an additional $13,000,000 for
research to develop mine safety technology and directs that the
funding be used to meet the deadlines outlined in the Mine
Improvement and New Emergency Response Act of 2006 (Public Law
109-236). The Committee is aware that improvements and repairs
need to be made to laboratory space currently used to test and
evaluate the performance of mine seals under extreme pressures
created by explosions and the Committee expects the work to be
completed on an expedited basis. 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
and Committee on Education and Labor of the House of
Representatives and the Committee on Appropriations and

years to sustain a long-term effort to replace aging CDC
facilities in Atlanta and elsewhere. The Committee intends that
these activities move forward with all possible haste and as
such has given CDC the authority to enter into a single
contract or related contracts for the full scope of development
and construction of facilities. The Committee directs CDC to
make use of this authority to expedite the replacement and
enhancement of its facilities.

(INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

2007 appropriation to date.............................. $555,200,000
2007 supplemental estimate..............................................
Committee recommendation................................ 820,000,000

The Committee recommends $820,000,000 to remain available
until expended, for the Department of Health and Human Services
to prepare for an influenza pandemic. The Committee continues
to be concerned about the threat posed by an influenza pandemic
and our ability to respond to such a threat.
On November 1, 2005, the President requested a total of
$7,100,000,000 in emergency funding for pandemic influenza
preparedness activities, of which $6,700,000,000 was for
activities at the Department of Health and Human Services
[HHS]. Congress has since appropriated $5,600,000,000 for
pandemic preparedness activities at HHS. This appropriation
provides the third installment of funding for pandemic
preparedness activities. These funds are sufficient to allow
the Secretary of Health and Human Services to fully fund the
goal of stockpiling antiviral medications for 25 percent of the
population. The Committee recommends that a portion of these
funds be directed to State and local public health preparedness
programs.
The Committee recommendation includes bill language
granting the Secretary various authorities to purchase goods
for the strategic national stockpile, to construct or renovate
privately owned facilities for the production of pandemic
influenza vaccine, and to transfer funds to other HHS accounts.

CHAPTER 9

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

MILITARY CONSTRUCTION

Military Construction, Air Force Reserve

Technical Correction.--In regard to the Under Secretary of
Defense (Comptroller) request dated January 24, 2007, to
reprogram military construction funds, the Committee instead
recommends appropriating $3,096,000 for an Air Force Reserve
construction project and rescinds the same amount from Public
Law 109-114. This action was requested due to an Air Force
Reserve mission change.

Base Closure Account, 2005

2007 appropriation to date.............................. $2,489,421,000
2007 supplemental estimate..............................................
Committee recommendation................................ 3,136,802,000

The Committee recommends an additional $3,136,802,000 for
the Base Closure Account 2005. This amount, along with the
$2,489,421,000 included in Public Law 110-5, the fiscal year
2007 continuing resolution, fully funds the administration's
base closure request for fiscal year 2007.
Brigade Combat Teams.--The Committee is concerned about the
implementation of the 2005 Base Realignment and Closure [BRAC]
process as it affects the fielding of new brigade combat teams.
The Committee directs the Secretary of the Army, no later than
60 days following enactment, to provide to the Committee a
report on the Army Campaign Plan and the stationing of each
Brigade Combat Team [BCT] as identified in the BRAC process,
including the stationing of a BCT at Fort Knox, Kentucky. At a
minimum, the report shall include: a detailed schedule for the
manning, equipping and funding of each BCT; the military
construction costs associated with each BCT's arrival at each
installation, including Fort Knox; and the readiness of
training ranges, military health facilities, and morale,
welfare, and recreation facilities required to support each
brigade at each installation.

DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS

The recent events surrounding Walter Reed Army Medical
Center have brought to the forefront the level of care being
provided to our Nation's injured soldiers and veterans and
their plight with regard to bureaucratic redtape. The nature of
combat that today's military personnel are facing in Iraq and
Afghanistan, coupled with advances in battlefield medicine,
have stretched the ability of the Department of Veterans
Affairs [VA] to provide timely assistance and healthcare. This
was evidenced by the announcement in 2006 of a shortfall in
funding for medical care of almost $3,000,000,000 spanning 2
fiscal years. The shortfall was due in part to the
underestimation of the number of soldiers returning from
Operation Enduring Freedom [OEF] and Operation Iraqi Freedom
[OIF] who would utilize the VA system. Congress was quick to
take action and appropriated the necessary funding to ensure
the VA would not have to increase waiting times for medical
care appointments. However, it is evident that more needs to be
done. Claims backlogs still plague the system; in fact, the VA
has almost 400,000 pending claims and expects 800,000 new
claims this year and an additional 800,000 in fiscal year 2008.
Additionally, the complexity of adjudicating the claims is
estimated to grow as veterans are documenting a greater number
of disabilities, such as post-traumatic stress disorder [PTSD]
and complex combat injuries. VA statistics show that the number
of cases with eight or more disabilities claimed increased 135
percent from 2000 to 2006, with claims from OEF and OIF
veterans expected to rise.
For the past several years, the VA has severely
underestimated the number of returning OEF and OIF veterans
projected to utilize the healthcare system. In fiscal year
2007, the VA now estimates that it will treat over 209,000 OEF/
OIF veterans--100,000 more than was initially estimated. VA's
latest statistics show that over 35 percent of the returning
OEF and OIF veterans who have sought care through the VA have
done so for mental health problems. These problems range from
PTSD symptoms to alcohol and drug dependence. Additionally, the
VA's polytrauma centers have been instrumental in treating
active duty wounded soldiers, as well as those recently
separated from the services. Traumatic brain injury [TBI] has
been called the signature wound of the wars in Iraq and
Afghanistan. It has become clear that the VA will need
additional tools and resources to not only treat these soldiers
and veterans immediately, but also to deal with their
rehabilitation, which in many instances could stretch decades.
While the Committee applauds the recent actions taken by
the VA to address some long term problems, such as screening
all GWOT veterans for TBI, it is very concerned about the
Department's lack of timely responses to congressional
inquiries regarding implementation of new initiatives. The
Committee reminds the Department that accurate cost estimates
and information need to be provided in a thorough and timely
manner in order to ensure efficient implementation of programs
and adequate funding levels. The VA needs the resources to
ensure that taking care of today's combat veterans does not
come at the expense of decreased quality of care or increased
wait times for all veterans. Therefore, the Committee
recommendation includes additional funding to increase
healthcare capacity, strengthen research in the area of neuro-
trauma, enhance the compensation and pension process, and
address needed maintenance and construction at VA healthcare
facilities.

Veterans Health Administration

MEDICAL SERVICES

2007 appropriation to date.............................. $25,423,250,000
2007 supplemental estimate..............................................
Committee recommendation................................ 454,131,000

The Committee recommendation includes $454,131,000 for
Medical Services for the Veterans Health Administration. The
additional funds will allow the Department to build capacity
and enhance polytrauma services and mental health capability
and provide a contingency fund for OEF/OIF veterans.
Polytrauma Care/Traumatic Brain Injury.--The VA healthcare
system has played an important part in the treatment and
rehabilitation of both active duty and separated OEF and OIF
veterans. With specialties in spinal cord injuries, blind
rehabilitation and polytrauma, the VA has become a significant
resource and complement to the Department of Defense's
healthcare system. In fiscal year 2005, Congress provided
funding for the establishment of four level I comprehensive
polytrauma centers which are located in Richmond, Virginia;
Tampa, Florida; Minneapolis, Minnesota; and Palo Alto,
California. Often these centers become the site of treatment of
active duty soldiers suffering from TBI and take the lead in
the important role of rehabilitation. However, the Committee is
concerned that four centers may not be adequate to meet both
increased need and geographic availability. Therefore, the
recommendation includes $50,000,000 for the VA to establish
additional level I comprehensive polytrauma centers. The
Department is directed to provide a report to the Committees on
Appropriations of the House of Representatives and the Senate
within 60 days of enactment of this act detailing the number of
centers to be opened and the sites selected. The Committee
encourages the Department to work with the Department of
Defense to identify opportunities for sharing these new
resources.
Severely injured veterans may require extensive periods of
rehabilitation to successfully integrate back into the
community. Traumatic brain injury, particularly in combination
with PTSD and other stress reactions and mental health
problems, is among the conditions that require extensive
rehabilitation, including transitional programming. Following
the acute phase of rehabilitation, cognitive and behavioral
difficulties often persist which prevent effective community
reentry and/or return to duty. Transitional rehabilitation
programs are a key factor to successful reentry by providing
clinically relevant and comprehensive treatment for improving
cognitive, behavioral and physical functioning. The Committee
is aware that the VA has only one polytrauma residential
transitional rehabilitation program. The recommendation
includes $9,440,000 in operation costs associated with the
establishment of at least four new polytrauma residential
transitional rehabilitation programs.
There are currently 76 polytrauma support clinic teams in
the VA. These local teams of providers with rehabilitation
expertise deliver follow up services in consultation with
regional and network specialists. They also assist in
management of stable patients through direct care, consultation
and the use of tele-rehabilitation technologies, when needed.
The recommendation includes $8,000,000 for the establishment of
10 new teams.
Smaller VHA facilities which lack the expertise or
resources to meet rehabilitation and prosthetic needs of
polytrauma patients have polytrauma points of contact. These
are individuals who serve as a point of contact for
consultation, assessment and referral of polytrauma patients to
a facility capable of providing the level of service required.
The recommendation includes $5,356,000 for the hiring of at
least 52 new points of contact.
One of the major effects of TBI is vision impairment. The
VA's Blind Rehabilitative Service is known worldwide for its
excellence in delivering comprehensive blind rehabilitation to
our Nation's blind veterans at 10 VA blind rehabilitation
centers. On July, 22, 2004, GAO testified before Congress that
more outpatient services for blind veterans and better
outpatient training could better meet the demands of today's
blind veteran population. Since 1940, the VA has focused its
training and treatment at inpatient facilities. While the VA
should continue to support and maintain its inpatient capacity
at its blind rehabilitation centers, it should also begin to
expand its treatment for blind veterans through outpatient
services closer to where veterans live. The recommendation
includes $10,000,000 for the VA to begin implementing a plan to
expand more outpatient blind rehabilitation services and
training consistent with the recommendations of the GAO report:
``More Outpatient Rehabilitation Services for Blind Veterans
Could Better Meet their Needs'' (GAO-04-996T).
While the VA's existing level I polytrauma centers are
heralded as among the best treatment centers in the world, the
Committee is concerned about the level of emphasis on the part
of the VA on care after release. Many instances have surfaced
lately concerning veterans that did not receive timely
treatment when returning to home networks. In addition, the
Committee is unaware of any step-down extended care or long-
term care facilities dedicated to veterans released from the
polytrauma centers with disabilities that are not compatible
with standard VA facilities. For example, mixing severely
disabled veterans suffering from TBI with geriatric patients in
existing long-term care facilities is not consistent with fair
and equitable treatment to the veteran or their families.
Therefore, the VA is directed to report to the Committees on
Appropriations within 60 days of enactment of this act
detailing its plan for treatment/care of veterans after they
are released from a level I polytrauma center. The report
should contain the VA's assessment of the need for extended
care and long-term care facilities in each network that may be
needed for those veterans who will need intensive day-to-day
care for the rest of their lives.
The Committee directs the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to
submit a report to the Committee on Appropriations of the House
of Representatives and the Senate regarding the treatment and
outreach toward OEF/OIF veterans with TBI and their families
within 60 days after enactment of this act, describing the
communication procedures and policies for family members of TBI
patients; detailing efforts to facilitate the transition for
TBI patients from the Department of Defense health system to
the VA; providing an accounting of the number of active duty
and veterans suffering from TBI currently being treated in the
VA healthcare system; and, providing an accounting of funds
budgeted and expended for TBI treatment and outreach efforts.
Mental Health/Substance Abuse/Readjustment Counseling.--The
Committee remains concerned about the impact the wars in Iraq
and Afghanistan will have on the ability of the VA to provide
comprehensive, timely, and effective mental health services.
The VA's latest statistics show that over 35 percent of the
returning OEF and OIF veterans who have sought care through the
VA have done so for mental health problems. These numbers are
likely to rise given the number of multiple deployments to Iraq
and Afghanistan and the nature of the fighting on the ground.
Additionally, many veterans may not seek treatment immediately
upon separation from active duty, but instead may seek
treatment in future years as symptoms worsen. To assist the VA
in addressing this problem, the recommendation includes
$100,000,000 for mental health enhancements throughout the
Veterans Health Administration. The intention is to provide
additional funding for the VA to target those areas where
mental health services are lacking, including but not limited
to, rural areas and areas where waiting times exceed 30 days.
The Committee directs the Department to provide a report to the
Committees on Appropriations of the House of Representatives
and the Senate within 60 days of enactment of this act
detailing efforts to hire and retain mental health
professionals in each Veterans Integrated Service Network, the
usage of contract care when appropriate, and the expenditure of
the funds provided.
According to the VA, early reports suggest there will be at
least a 150-percent increase in alcohol abuse within 6 months
of returning from deployment in Iraq or Afghanistan. Many of
these veterans have concurrent psychiatric or medical
conditions which exacerbate the situation. The estimates for
substance abuse treatment on which the VA has budgeted for
fiscal year 2007 and fiscal year 2008 are relatively flat when
compared to fiscal year 2006. The Committee understands that
the VA is attempting to develop better integrated care models
to improve delivery of substance abuse programs. Therefore, the
Committee includes $30,000,000 for the VA to build capacity in
both outpatient programs as well as inpatient programs.
Vet centers are designed as a non-medical readjustment
counseling program in contrast to a medical treatment program.
These ``storefront'' centers are located in communities outside
of the larger medical facilities in easily accessible local
settings and are highly responsive to the needs of local
veterans. Readjustment counseling provided through Vet centers
features service units emphasizing post-war rehabilitation,
various social services addressing the social and economic
dimensions of post-war readjustment, psychological counseling
for traumatic military-related experiences, including PTSD, and
family counseling when needed for the veteran's readjustment.
These centers have seen increasing usage from GWOT veterans
leading to a strain and waiting lists at many of the sites. The
recommendation includes $20,000,000 to give the VA the ability
to open new Vet centers and hire additional staffing for
existing centers.
Operation Enduring Freedom/Operation Iraqi Freedom
Contingency Fund.--The recommendation includes $201,335,000 in
Medical Services for treatment associated with OEF/OIF
veterans. Since the onset of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan,
the VA has underestimated each year the number of OEF/OIF
veterans that would utilize the VA healthcare system. While the
Committee understands that the VA is refining its modeling to
provide better projections, it remains concerned that the
underestimation in fiscal year 2006 and fiscal year 2007 has
impacted services for other veterans. Therefore, the Committee
has included the additional funding above the fiscal year 2007
budget estimate to allow the VA to utilize supplemental funding
for the treatment of these veterans.

MEDICAL ADMINISTRATION

2007 appropriation to date.............................. $3,156,850,000
2007 supplemental estimate..............................................
Committee recommendation................................ 250,000,000

The Committee recommendation includes $250,000,000 for
Medical Administration to ensure the efficient management of
the VA healthcare system. The Committee is aware that the
Department is planning on reprogramming $230,000,000 from
Medical Services to Medical Administration to better align the
two accounts. The additional funding provided would negate the
need for this transfer.

MEDICAL FACILITIES

2007 appropriation to date.............................. $3,558,150,000
2007 supplemental estimate..............................................
Committee recommendation................................ 595,000,000

The Committee recommendation includes $595,000,000 for
Medical Facilities for the Veterans Health Administration. The
additional funds will allow the Department to make critical
fire and life safety upgrades at VHA facilities throughout the
country and to enhance services at polytrauma rehabilitation
centers and network sites.
Maintenance Corrections.--The Veterans Health
Administration provides care to over 5.5 million veterans
through 155 hospitals and 717 outpatient clinics.
Unfortunately, budget pressures have often led to inadequate
budget requests for non-recurring maintenance. To provide high
quality care, state-of-the-art facilities are needed. The
Department conducts rolling facilities condition assessments
which have identified a total of $5,000,000,000 worth of
deficiencies at existing facilities. The Committee
recommendation includes $550,000,000 to allow the Department to
address the most critical needs within the system, including
fire and life safety issues, accreditation problems and to
enhance clinical capabilities. The Committee is concerned that
past budget submissions have neglected to address these issues
and directs the Department to provide adequate funding requests
for non-recurring maintenance in future budget submissions.
The Committee directs the Department to provide a report
detailing facility deficiencies and the correction plan which
will be implemented to address them. This report should include
an expenditure plan for the use of funds appropriated for
fiscal year 2007 as well as the additional funding included in
this act. Furthermore, the Committee directs the Department to
report what identified facility deficiencies will not be
addressed by this plan and the total cost of addressing those
deficiencies. This report is due to the Committees on
Appropriations of the House of Representatives and the Senate
no later than 60 days following enactment of this act.
Polytrauma Network Upgrades.--The Committee recommendation
includes $45,000,000 for equipment and facility upgrades at the
polytrauma rehabilitation centers and the polytrauma network
sites. The Department currently has four level I comprehensive
polytrauma centers and 17 level II tertiary polytrauma care
centers. The additional funds will allow the VA to upgrade the
facilities and purchase new equipment to ensure high quality
care at all centers.

MEDICAL AND PROSTHETIC RESEARCH

2007 appropriation to date.............................. $412,000,000
2007 supplemental estimate..............................................
Committee recommendation................................ 30,000,000

The Committee recommendation includes $30,000,000 for
research related to returning Operation Enduring Freedom and
Operation Iraqi Freedom veterans and deployment health.

Departmental Administration

GENERAL OPERATING EXPENSES

2007 appropriation to date.............................. $1,472,164,000
2007 supplemental estimate..............................................
Committee recommendation................................ 46,000,000

The Committee recommendation includes $46,000,000 for the
hiring and training of new compensation and pension claims
adjudicators. The Secretary recently announced that the VA has
put into place a process to expedite OEF and OIF veterans
benefits claims. While this action is commendable, it does not
adequately address the root problem for delays in the system.
New claims receipts have grown by 39 percent from 2000 to 2006.
The average wait time for a veteran's claim to be processed is
177 days, almost 6 months, and the Department has a current
backlog of almost 400,000 claims. Meanwhile the Veterans
Benefits Administration has seen the complexity of claims grow,
with multiple disability claims for complex combat injuries,
environmental diseases and PTSD. The need for more claims
adjudicators is apparent. The additional funding will allow the
VBA to hire and train up to 400 new claims processors.
Furthermore, the Committee directs the Department to provide a
report on the number of new hires for claims processing in
fiscal year 2007 and projections for 2008, the attrition rate
for claims examiners, the projected productivity per FTE, the
productivity by Veterans Integrated Service Network, and the
plan to leverage new technology to create a more efficient
system. This report is due to the Committees on Appropriations
of the House of Representatives and the Senate no later than 60
days following enactment of this act.

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SYSTEMS

2007 appropriation to date.............................. $1,214,000,000
2007 supplemental estimate..............................................
Committee recommendation................................ 36,100,000

The Committee recommendation includes $36,100,000 for
Information Technology related to technology support and
improvements for processing veterans claims, including new
technology for the improvement of record transfers between the
VA and Department of Defense for OEF/OIF veterans, as well as
proactive assembly of new soldier records for future use for
VBA claims processing, digitizing records, and remediation/
prevention actions being taken in relation to a recent data
breach. The additional funding will allow the Department to
leverage new technology to assist in streamlining the benefits
claims process.

CONSTRUCTION, MINOR PROJECTS

2007 appropriation to date.............................. $199,000,000
2007 supplemental estimate..............................................
Committee recommendation................................ 355,907,000

The Committee recommendation includes $355,907,000 for
Construction, Minor Projects. This level of funding includes
$319,907,000 for unfunded high priority projects that the
Department has not included in its budget submission for fiscal
year 2007 or fiscal year 2008 and $36,000,000 for construction
needs associated with the establishment of additional
polytrauma residential transitional rehabilitation programs.

GENERAL PROVISIONS--THIS CHAPTER

Sec. 2901. Prohibits the use of funds to close or realign
any portion of Walter Reed Army Medical Center until certain
conditions are met and certified by the Secretary of Defense.
The provision also directs the Secretary to provide Congress
with a transition plan for the realignment of Walter Reed.
Sec. 2902. Directs that the Department of Veterans Affairs
contract with the National Academy of Public Administration to
conduct an independent analysis of organizational structure and
management practices utilized to provide health care and
benefits to OEF/OIF veterans.
Sec. 2903. Directs the Congressional Budget Office to
conduct a study on the long-term cost of providing health care
to OEF/OIF veterans, and to report its findings to the
Committee on Appropriations no later than November 15, 2007.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Highway Administration

EMERGENCY RELIEF PROGRAM

(INCLUDING RESCISSION OF FUNDS)

2007 appropriation to date..............................\1\ $100,000,000
2007 supplemental estimate..............................................
Committee recommendation................................ 388,903,000

\1\ Made available pursuant to Public Law 109-59.

The Committee recommends an additional $388,903,000 to
carry out repair and restoration activities under the Emergency
Relief program. On February 23, 2007, the Department of
Transportation announced the award of $112,626,281 in Emergency
Relief grants for fiscal year 2007. Even after the award of
these grants, however, the Federal Highway Administration
[FHWA] still carries a backlog of $388,903,000 in eligible
requests for funding under the Emergency Relief program. This
backlog includes requests to cover ongoing expenses associated
with the recovery from Hurricane Katrina. The cost of providing
these funds is offset by a rescission of contract authority,
and the Committee directs FHWA to administer this rescission by
allowing each State maximum flexibility in making these
adjustments among the five affected programs of the Federal-Aid
Highway program.

Federal Transit Administration

FORMULA GRANTS

The Committee recommends $75,000,000 to cover emergency
expenses associated with the continuation of transit services
in communities severely impacted by Hurricanes Katrina and
Rita. Funding shall be allocated by the Secretary both for
operating expenses necessary to keep transit services
affordable for local residents as well as for capital costs
associated with the replacement of rolling stock destroyed by
the hurricanes. The Committee directs the Federal Transit
Administration [FTA] to make this assistance available without
requirement for local match.

DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT

Office of Inspector General

2007 appropriation to date.............................. $81,180,000
2007 supplemental estimate..............................................
Committee recommendation................................ 5,000,000

The Committee recommends a supplemental appropriation of
$5,000,000 for HUD's Office of Inspector General. These funds
shall be used to continue the IG's ongoing work in overseeing
and auditing the use of HUD funds in the recovery of the gulf
region in the wake of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

GENERAL PROVISIONS--THIS CHAPTER

Sec. 3001. The Committee includes a temporary provision
regarding the reconstruction of non-conforming signs that have
been destroyed by hurricanes located in FEMA regions IV and VI.
This language will cease to be in effect 24 months following
the date of enactment of this act. The provision is temporary
in nature so that the appropriate authorizing committees can
have sufficient time to consider and address this issue on a
permanent basis.
Sec. 3002. The Committee includes language clarifying that
public housing authorities that are eligible for assistance
under section 901 of Public Law 109-148 shall continue to
receive section 8 tenant-based housing assistance at the levels
they received for fiscal year 2006.

TITLE III

OTHER MATTERS

CHAPTER 1

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

Farm Service Agency

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

2007 appropriation to date.............................. $1,338,537,000
2007 supplemental estimate..............................................
Committee recommendation................................ 75,000,000

On November 16, 2006, the Farm Service Agency's [FSA] data
processing center located in Kansas City, Missouri, began
periodically shutting down due in most part to capacity
overloads. This computer system is responsible for processing
payments for all farm programs administered by FSA. There have
been many instances where farmers did not receive payments in a
timely manner, and the efficiency of the thousands of FSA
county office employees has decreased dramatically as a result
of this aging computer system. In order to increase the
operating capacity of the system, the agency attempted
rationing the time employees could use their computers
depending on what state they are located. The results were
unsuccessful, and these issues continue to create problems.
After consultation with the agency, the Committee recommends
$75,000,000 for maintenance and repair of the system contingent
on a detailed spending plan, along with timely updates
throughout the modernization process. The Committee will
utilize the resources of the Government Accountability Office
to analyze the spending plan and continually monitor the
progress made by the agency.

GENERAL PROVISIONS--THIS CHAPTER

(RESCISSION)

Sec. 3101. The administration has assured the Committee
that no more than $15,000,000 of the $90,000,000 in the Trade
Adjustment Assistance program account for fiscal year 2007 will
be obligated. Therefore the Committee recommends the rescission
of $75,000,000 from this program and has deemed the maintenance
and repair of the Farm Service Agency computer system to be a
better use of these resources.
Sec. 3102. The Committee recommends a general provision
regarding the implementation of the Wetlands Reserve Program
and the Farmland Protection Program.
Sec. 3103. The Committee recommends a general provision to
allow full utilization of funding provided for the Rural
Utilities Service Guaranteed Underwriting Program, and ensure a
continued source of funding through private sector guarantee
fees for the Rural Economic Development Loan Program.

CHAPTER 2

$22,762,000 for geothermal research and development activities
in fiscal year 2007.
Sec. 3202. The Committee has included a provision
designating all current Federal employees at the National
Energy Technology Laboratory as inherently governmental. This
provision would remove those positions from consideration as
potential candidates for competitive sourcing actions under OMB
Circular A-76.
Sec. 3203. The Committee has included a provision related
to the Bonneville Power Administration.

allows the transfer of proceeds from the sale of holiday
ornaments during the 2006-2007 holiday season by the Senate
Gift Shop to the Senate Employee Child Care Center [SECCC].

with the mission of the SECCC.

(INCLUDING RESCISSION)

Agencies

GENERAL PROVISION--THIS CHAPTER

CONSULTATION REQUIREMENT

Sec. 3901. This provision requires the U.S.-China Economic
and Security Review Commission to submit a spending plan to be
approved by the Committee prior to obligating $1,000,000 of
funds provided in fiscal year 2007. The Committee believes that
the dollar limitation included for the Commission is the
responsible course to take until the Government Accountability
Office has reviewed the Commission.

TECHNICAL AMENDMENT

Sec. 3902. This provision eliminates an unnecessary
provision of the fiscal year 2006 Foreign Operations, Export
Financing, and Related Programs Appropriations Act; relates to
the Board of Directors of the Middle East Foundation; and

CHAPTER 10

DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT

Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

(INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

2007 appropriation to date.............................. $60,000,000
2007 supplemental estimate..............................................
Committee recommendation................................ 4,800,000

The Committee has recommended a supplemental appropriation
of $4,800,000 for OFHEO for ongoing litigation and staffing
costs associated with the office's oversight responsibilities
for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

GENERAL PROVISIONS--THIS CHAPTER

Sec. 4001. The Committee has included language requiring
that the administration's recently-announced pilot project for
the initiation of cross-border trucking with the Republic of
Mexico shall be subject to the statutory requirements contained
in title 49, United States Code, for ``pilot programs''
conducted by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration.
The language also ensures that long-haul Mexican trucks shall
not have access to Unites States highways beyond the current
commercial zone until trucking firms domiciled in the United
States have the opportunity for comparable and simultaneous
access throughout Mexico. This section arises out of concerns
raised by the Committee during a hearing held by the
Subcommittee on Transportation, Housing and Urban Development,
and Related Agencies on March 8, 2007.
Sec. 4002. The Committee includes a technical provision
clarifying that certain activities funded under HUD's tenant-
based rental assistance program shall be funded at levels
consistent with the President's request for fiscal year 2007.
Sec. 4003. The Committee notes that considerable concern
and confusion continues to surround HUD's looming requirement
for several public housing agencies to transition to the
Department's asset management model in order to avoid a
precipitous decline in Federal operating subsidies. The
Committee remains concerned that HUD has not provided final
guidance or adequate, clear and consistent technical direction
to assist these public housing agencies with this transition.
Moreover, it is not clear that HUD has developed the necessary
administrative capacity to review and promptly respond to
applications by public housing agencies that seek to
demonstrate successful conversion to asset management. As such,
the Committee has included a general provision delaying the
final implementation of this conversion until September 1,
2007. The Committee directs that the Department complete all
necessary final guidance and administrative preparations within
the additional time provided.

CHAPTER 11

GENERAL PROVISIONS--THIS ACT

AVAILABILITY OF FUNDS

Sec. 4101. The Committee recommends a provision that limits
the availability of the funds provided in this supplemental to
the current fiscal year unless expressly provided otherwise.

NOTIFICATION OF EMERGENCY LEGISLATION

The congressional budget resolution agreed to by Congress
for fiscal year 2006, House Con. Res. 95 of the 109th Congress,
includes provisions relating to the notification of emergency
spending. These provisions require a statement of how the
emergency provisions meet the criteria for emergency spending
identified by the budget resolutions. This bill contains
emergency funding for fiscal year 2007 that is related to the
global war on terror, troop readiness, recovery from hurricanes
in the gulf coast region, emerging threats to our homeland
security, pandemic influenza prevention, and unmet needs of
veterans. Such spending is identified throughout the report for
titles I and II. The funding is related to unanticipated needs
and is for situations that are sudden, urgent, and unforeseen,
specifically the global war on terror in the aftermath of 9/11,
and the devastating hurricanes of 2005. These events fit the
specific criteria for emergencies.

EMERGENCY DESIGNATION FOR TITLE I

Sec. 4102. The Committee recommends an emergency
designation for the funds contained in title I.

EMERGENCY DESIGNATION FOR TITLE II

Sec. 4103. The Committee recommends an emergency
designation for the funds contained in title II.

TITLE IV

EMERGENCY FARM RELIEF ACT OF 2007

Commodity Credit Corporation Fund

The Committee recommends emergency spending of such sums as
are necessary of the funds from the Commodity Credit
Corporation, estimated in fiscal year 2007 to be
$4,151,000,000, to make emergency assistance available for
production losses and other consequences due to natural
disasters. Assistance under this act shall be provided to
eligible producers and entities for losses in either 2005,
2006, or no later than February 28, 2007.

Crop Disaster Assistance

The Committee recommends emergency spending of such sums as
are necessary of the funds from the Commodity Credit
Corporation, estimated in fiscal year 2007 to be
$2,090,000,000, to provide assistance due to crop production
losses, except for sugar beet production, and crop quality
losses that were incurred in 2005, 2006, or no later than
February 28, 2007.
The loss threshold for insurable crops shall be 35 percent
of a producer's yield as established through crop insurance
participation requirements. The payment rate for crop disaster
assistance shall be 55 percent of the established price for
producers who purchased crop insurance or participated in the
Non-Insured Assistance Program [NAP] for the applicable period.
Payment rates for producers who did not purchase crop insurance
or did not participate in NAP shall be 20 percent of the price
established for producers.
Crop disaster assistance under this act also provides for
payments to compensate producers for losses due to impaired
crop quality. Quality loss payments shall be 55 percent of the
actual market discount applied to the commodity times the
lesser of the actual production or the producer's yield for
crop insurance for NAP purposes. To be eligible to receive a
quality loss payment, the producer's loss must reflect at least
a 25-percent reduction in crop value from what the market value
would have been if not for the quality loss.

Livestock Assistance

The Committee recommends emergency spending of such sums as
are necessary of the funds from the Commodity Credit
Corporation, estimated in fiscal year 2007 to be a total of
$1,638,000,000, to provide assistance to livestock producers
for losses that were incurred in 2005 or 2006, including losses
from winter storms that began in December 2006 and continued
into January 2007.
Within the amount available for Livestock Assistance, the
Committee recommends emergency spending of $95,000,000 for
payments to dairy producers for losses in counties designated
by the Secretary as disaster areas.
The Committee further recommends emergency spending of such
sums as may be necessary, estimated in fiscal year 2007 to be
$1,498,000,000, to carry out a Livestock Compensation Program
[LCP] to assist producers in counties designated by the
Secretary as disaster areas. LCP payments shall be used to
offset feed losses and higher costs of livestock feed
purchases. The payment rate under this program shall be 80
percent of the rate established for the 2002 LCP.
The Committee also recommends emergency spending of such
sums as may be necessary, estimated in fiscal year 2007 to be
$32,000,000, to carry out a Livestock Indemnity Program [LIP]
to assist producers in counties designated by the Secretary as
disaster areas. Eligible producers shall receive compensation
under LIP at a rate of not less than 30 percent of the market
value of the livestock.
The Committee also recommends emergency spending of
$13,000,000 for a Ewe Lamb Replacement and Retention Payment
Program for producers in disaster counties for each ewe lamb
retained or purchased during 2006. A producer receiving
assistance under this program is not eligible for LCP payments.

Flooded Crop and Grazing Land

The Committee recommends emergency spending of $6,000,000
of the funds from the Commodity Credit Corporation to
compensate eligible owners of flooded crop and grazing land in
North Dakota for the loss of the use of their land due to
flooding caused by the overflow of closed basin lakes in the
region.

Sugar Beet and Sugar Cane Disaster Assistance

The Committee recommends emergency spending of $24,000,000
of the funds from the Commodity Credit Corporation to assist
eligible sugar beet producers and $3,000,000 for eligible sugar
cane producers who suffered losses from natural disasters.

Noninsured Crop Assistance Program

The Committee recommends language to clarify the use of
claims adjustors for performance of loss assessments on grazing
lands.

Small Business Economic Loss Grant Program

The Committee recommends emergency spending of $100,000,000
of the funds from the Commodity Credit Corporation for grants
to State departments of agriculture for distribution to
eligible small businesses that are dependent on agricultural
activities (such as crop dusters, small processors, custom
harvesters, and other businesses) that have suffered losses due
to natural disasters. In addition, the Committee recommends
language that allows State departments of agriculture to
distribute funds to compensate eligible farmworkers in a manner
consistent with the Emergency Grants to Assist Low-Income
Migrant and Seasonal Farmworkers Act.

Tree Assistance Program

The Committee recommends emergency spending of such sums as
are necessary of the funds from the Commodity Credit
Corporation, estimated in fiscal year 2007 to be $40,000,000,
to provide assistance under subtitle C of title X of the Farm
Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 for producers who
suffered qualifying losses in disaster counties to trees,
vines, and crop producing or marketable bushes. Assistance
provided through these funds may include payments for
activities such as pruning, rehabilitation, and other
appropriate measures as determined by the Secretary.

Conservation

The Committee recommends emergency spending of $35,000,000
of the funds from the Commodity Credit Corporation to carry out
emergency measures of the Emergency Conservation Program in
disaster counties.
The Committee recommends emergency spending of $50,000,000
of the funds from the Commodity Credit Corporation for the
Emergency Watershed Protection Program [EWP] to carry out
emergency recovery activities identified by the Secretary. Of
any amounts made available by the act in excess of needs
identified by the Secretary on the date of enactment, the
Committee directs that such funds be held in reserve and used
for any future EWP requirements that meet the need of
exigencies described at 7 C.F.R. 624.8(c)(3)(i).
The Committee recommends emergency spending of $115,000,000
of the funds from the Commodity Credit Corporation for the
Conservation Security Program.

Insect Damage

The Committee recommends emergency spending of $20,000,000
of the funds from the Commodity Credit Corporation to carry out
emergency measures relating to insect infestations in the
States of Nevada, Idaho, and Utah.

Administration

The Committee recommends language to ensure that funds made
available by this act shall be used in the most prudent and
effective manner possible, including prohibitions on
duplication of payments for similar losses from other programs,
streamlining of regulatory requirements, and other measures.
In addition, the Committee recommends emergency spending of
$30,000,000 of the funds from the Commodity Credit Corporation
to the Farm Service Agency to cover necessary costs relating to
administration of the programs included in the act. Of that
amount, the Secretary may use up to $19,000,000 to hire county
office personnel to assist producers. Also, $21,000,000 is
provided for other administrative costs, including upgrades for
agency computers to assist in carrying out the provisions of
this act.
