                          Purpose of the Bill

    The purpose of the bill is to support our military and 
their families and provide the benefits and medical care that 
our veterans have earned for their service. This is 
accomplished through the programs funded in the bill. Programs 
that provide the facilities and infrastructure needed to house, 
train, and equip our military personnel to defend this nation; 
both in the United States and abroad; programs that provide the 
housing and military community infrastructure that sustains 
quality of life for them and their families; and programs that 
allow the military to efficiently and effectively maintain a 
right-sized base structure. The bill also funds programs to 
ensure that all of our veterans receive the benefits and 
medical care that they have earned as a result of the 
sacrifices they have made in their service to our country. 
Finally, the bill funds four related agencies that provide 
support to our nation's heroes; the American Battle Monuments 
Commission, Cemeterial Expenses, Army (Arlington Cemetery), the 
United States Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims, and the 
Armed Forces Retirement Home.

                  Summary of Committee Recommendation

    The Committee recommends $133,726,656,000 in new budget 
authority for the programs and activities funded in the bill. 
This recommendation is an increase of $14,120,731,000 above the 
fiscal year 2009 enacted level and an increase of $239,146,000 
above the President's request. Included in this amount is 
$55,821,672,000 in mandatory authority and $77,904,984,000 in 
discretionary authority.
    The Committee recommendation highlights the continued 
commitment to our servicemembers and their families and to our 
veterans. The total funding level for military construction, 
including Overseas Contingency Operations, is $24,577,366,000, 
a 1.7 percent decrease below the fiscal year 2009 enacted 
level. This does not include the American Recovery and 
Reinvestment Act emergency funding. This level of funding 
supports the servicemen and women and their families who are 
making the ultimate sacrifice during this time of war. The 
programs funded in the bill for the Department of Defense 
(DOD), address the numerous challenges we have asked our 
military to accomplish simultaneously. These funds support an 
increase in troop strength for both the Army and Marine Corps, 
continue the cleanup of military bases closed during Base 
Realignment and Closure rounds, resource the military's global 
re-stationing plan, and ensure that our military personnel and 
their families' quality of life is preserved within these 
plans.
    The total funding level of $108,860,775,000 for the 
Department of Veterans Affairs is a 15.4 percent increase over 
the fiscal year 2009 enacted level, not including the American 
Recovery and Reinvestment Act fiscal year 2009 emergency 
funding. The recommendation provides funding to increase 
various benefits programs administered by the Department, as 
authorized by current law, including changes to education 
benefits which will become effective late in fiscal year 2009. 
Additionally, the recommendation includes administrative 
support to carry out these programs, including the budget 
request for an additional 1,200 claims processors to reduce the 
claims processing backlog and length of time it takes to 
process an initial claim. The Committee recommendation supports 
the budget increases requested by the Department to improve 
access to care for all veterans, increase services for homeless 
veterans, and expand medical research. The Committee remains 
concerned with the backlog in non-recurring maintenance at 
medical facilities and has provided additional resources to 
address this issue.
    The following table compares amounts recommended in the 
bill to the President's request and amounts appropriated in 
fiscal year 2010:


                           Items of Interest

    Advance Appropriations.--The Committee recommendation 
includes an advance appropriation for the medical services, 
medical support and compliance, and medical facilities 
accounts. The goal of this advance appropriation is to provide 
the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) with reliable and 
timely funding for their current services so that the delivery 
of medical care is not disrupted. However, the provision of an 
advance appropriation should be seen as only the first step in 
this process. The VHA must also plan and publish the 
distribution of this funding prior to the beginning of the 
fiscal year so that medical directors are prepared and funded 
on October 1st. The Committee directs the Department to include 
in future budget submissions the budget plan for the advance 
appropriation provided in the previous year's bill to include 
the amount of funds that will be allocated in accordance with 
the Veterans Equitable Resource Allocation (VERA), and the 
Committee expects funding provided by advance appropriations to 
be made available to the Veterans Integrated Service Networks 
on October 1st. The Committee further directs the Department to 
include an advance appropriations request for current services 
for the medical services, medical support and compliance, and 
medical facilities accounts in future budget submissions.
    Support for Homeless Veterans.--The Committee is encouraged 
by the increased support for homeless veterans requested in the 
fiscal year 2010 budget submission. The Committee notes that 
the fiscal year 2010 budget request estimates that the 
Department expects to spend $2,721,934,000 on medical treatment 
for homeless veterans and $500,283,000 on homeless programs, 
including $26,000,000 for a Presidential Initiative to combat 
homelessness and an increase of $21,204,000 for additional case 
managers to support the additional 10,000 ``Housing Choice'' 
vouchers that are included in the Department of Housing and 
Urban Development budget request. However, the budget request 
did not fund the Homeless Grant and Per Diem program and the 
Supportive Services Low Income Veterans and Family program at 
their full authorization amounts. The Committee directs the 
Department to provide the full authorization levels of 
$150,000,000 and $20,000,000 respectively, for these programs.
    Collaborative Use of Martin Army Hospital.--The Committee 
encourages the Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs to 
continue ongoing discussions on collaborative use of the new 
Martin Army Community Hospital facility to be constructed at 
Fort Benning, Georgia, such as the sharing of resources and 
potential collocation of VA facilities. The Committee directs 
the Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs jointly to 
submit a report on potential collaboration at Martin Army 
Hospital no later than January 29, 2010.
    Reductions.--In order to invest in the critical priorities 
identified in this bill, and in an effort to build an economy 
on a solid foundation for growth and put the Nation on a path 
toward prosperity, the Committee has proposed herein a number 
of program reductions from the fiscal year 2009 level totaling 
over $3.2 billion. In addition, nearly $1.5 billion in other 
program reductions from the budget request are recommended. 
These adjustments, no matter their size, are important to 
setting the right priorities within the spending allocation, 
for getting the deficit under control, and creating a 
government that is as efficient as it is effective.

Comparison with:
    Fiscal year 2009 enacted level....................     2,103,259,000
    Fiscal year 2010 budget request...................      127,746,000

\1\Does not reflect $2,190,000,000 in emergency appropriations provided
  in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
\2\Includes funding for Overseas Contingency Operations.

    Military construction accounts provide funds for new 
construction, construction improvements, planning and design, 
and host nation support. Projects funded by these accounts 
include facilities for operations, training, maintenance, 
research and development, supply, medical care, and force 
protection, as well as unaccompanied housing, utilities 
infrastructure, and land acquisition.
    The Committee recommends a total appropriation of 
$14,306,247,000 and rescissions of $85,300,000 for Military 
Construction, an increase of $2,103,259,000 above the fiscal 
year 2009 enacted level and an increase of $127,746,000 above 
the budget request. The Committee has retained bill language 
incorporating the military construction projects specified in 
this report into the text of the bill by reference.
    Future Years Defense Plan and Quadrennial Defense Review.--
The Committee is concerned by the Department of Defense's 
decision not to release a Future Years Defense Plan (FYDP) for 
military construction and family housing programs, despite the 
clear requirement to submit one annually under 10 U.S.C. 221. 
The FYDP provides Congress with a clear statement of the 
Department's present and anticipated requirements and 
priorities across all services, components, and Defense 
agencies. The difficulty created for the Committee by this 
decision is compounded by the unanswered questions surrounding 
major initiatives with significant impacts on military 
construction, some of which have been incorporated in the 
Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR) process. These unresolved 
questions include the stationing of Army units following the 
Secretary of Defense's decision to reduce the number of planned 
brigade combat teams; the force posture of U.S. forces, 
particularly the Army, in the European Command area of 
responsibility; the Navy's intention to establish a second east 
coast nuclear carrier homeport; the strategy and timetable for 
the realignment of 8,000 marines and their families from 
Okinawa to Guam; the training requirements for Marine Corps 
forces in the Pacific; and the ultimate disposition of the 
proposed ballistic missile defense system in Europe. The 
Committee expects the Department to promptly inform the 
Committee when decisions on future plans are finalized.
    Army Trainee Troop Housing Initiative.--The Committee 
recommends $450,000,000 for Army trainee troop housing 
facilities to address the unfunded backlog of modernization 
requirements. The Army has an estimated need for 115,413 
trainee barracks spaces, only 50,329 of which were deemed 
adequate as of the end of fiscal year 2009. The current Army 
program projects that the full amount of $2,200,000,000 in 
military construction funding needed to complete modernization 
will not be in place until fiscal year 2015. The Committee 
therefore recommends these additional funds to accelerate this 
program, and has included language directing the Army to submit 
a spending plan for these funds no later than 30 days after the 
enactment of this Act.
    Guard and Reserve Initiative.--The Committee recommends 
$200,000,000 for a Guard and Reserve initiative to address 
urgent unfunded requirements for the Army National Guard, Air 
National Guard, Army Reserve, Navy and Marine Corps Reserve, 
and Air Force Reserve. The Committee recognizes the critical 
contribution made by reserve component personnel to disaster 
assistance, homeland security, and national defense, including 
the burdens borne by the Guard and Reserve to support overseas 
contingency operations. The Committee has included language 
directing that spending plans be submitted for the funds 
provided no later than 30 days after the enactment of this Act.
    Incremental Funding.--The Committee is concerned by the 
decision by the Office of Management and Budget to disallow any 
new incrementally funded military construction projects 
beginning with the fiscal year 2010 request. The Committee 
repeatedly has stated that while projects should be fully 
funded or separated into stand-alone phases where practicable, 
incremental funding should remain an option when it makes 
fiscal and programmatic sense. Some of the projects requested 
by the Administration as ``phases'' would be more appropriately 
requested as fully authorized, incrementally funded facilities. 
In some cases, the phased approach can drive up costs by 
requiring inefficient designs and separate bids that leave 
subsequent phases vulnerable to construction price inflation. 
The Committee will continue to exercise its prerogative to 
recommend incremental funding in accordance with authorizing 
legislation. The Committee therefore recommends incremental 
funding for the following seven projects included in the 
Administration's request: Aviation Task Force Complex, Fort 
Wainwright, Alaska, under Military Construction, Army; North 
Region Tertiary Treatment Plant, Camp Pendleton, California, 
under Military Construction, Navy and Marine Corps; Ship Repair 
Pier Replacement, Portsmouth, Virginia, under Military 
Construction, Navy and Marine Corps; Apra Harbor Wharves 
Improvements, Guam, under Military Construction, Navy and 
Marine Corps; Data Center, Camp Williams, Utah, under Military 
Construction, Defense-Wide; Hospital Replacement, Fort Bliss, 
Texas, under Military Construction, Defense-Wide; and Hospital 
Replacement, Guam, under Military Construction, Defense-Wide.
    School Facilities Serving Gaining Installations.--The 
Committee remains concerned about the ability of installations 
and surrounding communities that are gaining personnel under 
either BRAC or Growing the Force to accommodate rapidly growing 
numbers of military dependent school-age children in adequate 
educational facilities. The Committee therefore directs the 
Department of Defense to submit a report on the steps currently 
being taken to address this problem with both DOD schools and 
local educational agencies (LEAs). This report additionally 
shall provide an assessment of options to address the problem, 
including existing authorizations and policies for DOD 
assistance to LEAs for the purpose of school construction and 
renovation (including schools located on installations but 
operated by LEAs), the prerequisite enrollment conditions that 
trigger a requirement for new capacity construction or 
expansion of DOD schools, and unfunded requirements associated 
with installation population growth for Department of Defense 
Education Activity military construction. This report shall be 
submitted no later than August 31, 2009.
    Facilities Sustainment, Restoration and Modernization 
(FSRM).--The Department is directed to continue describing on 
form 1390 the backlog of FSRM requirements at installations 
with future construction projects. For troop housing requests, 
form 1391 should describe any FSRM conducted in the past two 
years. Likewise, future requirements for unaccompanied housing 
at the corresponding installation should be included. 
Additionally, the forms should include English equivalent 
measurements for projects presented in metric measurement. 
Rules for funding repairs of facilities under the Operation and 
Maintenance accounts are described below:
          (1) components of the facility may be repaired by 
        replacement. Such replacement can be up to current 
        standards or codes;
          (2) interior arrangements and restorations may be 
        included as repair;
          (3) additions, new facilities, and functional 
        conversions must be performed as military construction 
        projects. Such projects may be done concurrently with 
        repair projects as long as the final conjunctively 
        funded project is a complete and usable facility; and
          (4) the appropriate service Secretary shall notify 
        the appropriate committees 21 days prior to carrying 
        out any repair project with an estimated cost in excess 
        of $7,500,000.
    Recapitalization Metric.--The Committee supports the 
Department of Defense's efforts to transform its facilities 
recapitalization metric from one focused on obtaining a 67-year 
recapitalization rate to one focused on improving and 
maintaining facility quality ratings, which will yield a better 
enterprise-wide allocation of resources. The Department is 
encouraged to keep the Committee informed of its implementation 
of this new policy.
    Directed Designs.--The Committee directs the Department of 
Defense to execute all directed designs within the year of 
appropriation.
    Delivery of Notifications.--The Department of Defense 
delivers required notifications to the Committee 
electronically, by email, or by hand delivery. Some 
notifications are delivered by more than one means, resulting 
in unnecessary duplication. The Committee directs the Office of 
the Secretary of Defense (OSD), the services, and the Defense 
agencies to submit notifications in electronic form only to the 
greatest extent practicable. The Committee further directs the 
Department to submit a single quarterly report listing all 
notifications that have been submitted by OSD, the services, 
and the Defense agencies to the Committee during the preceding 
three-month period.
    Transfer of Funds to Foreign Currency Account.--The 
Committee directs the Department of Defense to submit a report 
to the Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress 
no later than December 1, 2009, on the amounts of expired funds 
transferred from military construction and family housing 
accounts to the Foreign Currency Fluctuations, Construction, 
Defense account at the end of fiscal year 2009.
    Reprogramming Guidelines.--The following reprogramming 
guidelines apply for all military construction and family 
housing projects. A project or account (including the sub-
elements of an account) which has been specifically reduced by 
the Congress in acting on the budget request is considered to 
be a congressional interest item and as such, prior approval is 
required. Accordingly, no reprogrammings to an item 
specifically reduced below the threshold by the Congress are 
permitted, except that the Department of Defense may seek 
reprogrammings for appropriated increments.
    The reprogramming criteria that apply to military 
construction projects (25 percent of the funded amount or 
$2,000,000, whichever is less) continue to apply to new housing 
construction projects and to improvements over $2,000,000. To 
provide the services the flexibility to proceed with 
construction contracts without disruption or delay, the costs 
associated with environmental hazard remediation such as 
asbestos removal, radon abatement, lead-based paint removal or 
abatement, and any other legislated environmental hazard 
remediation may be excluded, provided that such remediation 
requirements could not be reasonably anticipated at the time of 
the budget submission. This exclusion applies to projects 
authorized in this budget year, as well as projects authorized 
in prior years for which construction has not been completed. 
Planning and design costs associated with military construction 
and family housing projects may also be excluded from these 
guidelines. In instances where prior approval to a 
reprogramming request for a project or account has been 
received from the Committees on Appropriations, the adjusted 
amount approved becomes the new base for any future increase or 
decrease via below-threshold reprogrammings (provided that the 
project or account is not a congressional interest item as 
defined above).
    In addition to these guidelines, the services are directed 
to adhere to the guidance for military construction 
reprogrammings and notifications, including the pertinent 
statutory authorities contained in DOD Financial Management 
Regulation 7000.14-R and relevant updates and policy memoranda. 
The Committee further directs the Office of the Director of 
National Intelligence to use a format similar to that used by 
the Office of the Secretary of Defense to submit reprogramming 
requests.

amounts be made available for the design of the following 
projects:
    Alabama--Fort Rucker, Water Survival Training Facility, 
$401,000.
    Kentucky--Fort Campbell, Physical Fitness Complex, $900,000

    North Carolina--Fort Bragg, Field Support Brigade 
Headquarters, $720,000.
    Texas--Fort Bliss, Access Control Points, $6,500,000.
    Army Brigade Combat Teams and Quadrennial Defense Review.--
On April 6, 2009, the Secretary of Defense announced his 
decision to halt the growth of Army Brigade Combat Teams (BCTs) 
at 45, versus the 48 envisioned by the December 2007 Grow the 
Army stationing plan. On June 2, 2009, the Army announced that 
it would absorb this reduction by cancelling one planned BCT 
each at Fort Carson, Fort Stewart, and Fort Bliss. Furthermore, 
the Department of Defense has incorporated consideration of the 
shift of Army personnel from Germany to the United States in 
the Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR), which will have an 
additional impact on the Army's BCT construction program. The 
total impact of these three decisions on the military 
construction program is significant but unclear at this time. 
Although the Army has indicated that approximately 
$2,600,000,000 in fiscal years 2009 and 2010 construction 
funding is associated with the three cancelled BCTs and other 
Grow the Army increases, the Committee has not yet received 
adequate information to make decisions regarding specific 
projects already appropriated or requested in the fiscal year 
2010 budget. The Committee therefore recommends a general 
reduction of $500,000,000 from Military Construction, Army 
pending more detailed Army analysis of the impact of these 
decisions, as well as an update of the 2007 Grow the Army 
Stationing Plan.
    The Committee is very concerned by the manner in which 
major Grow the Army decisions have been made out of step with 
the programming and budgeting cycle. Construction to 
accommodate large personnel increases requires considerable 
lead time for planning, design, resourcing, and execution, yet 
the Department of Defense has shown a tendency to treat such 
matters as afterthoughts. The decision to increase the end 
strength of the Army to 547,000 was formally announced on 
January 11, 2007, and was followed by large lump sum requests 
for military construction and family housing in both the fiscal 
year 2007 emergency supplemental and the fiscal year 2008 base 
budget. The initial Grow the Army stationing plan, including 
the six new BCTs, was not released until December 18 of that 
year. The recent decision to reduce the number of new BCTs was 
announced just weeks prior to the release of the fiscal year 
2010 request and clearly is not reflected in that request. 
While the Army's overall management of the Grow the Army 
construction program is commendable, there have been instances 
of projects being improperly scoped due to the rushed process. 
Furthermore, the Secretary of Defense's stated concern about 
the ``risk of hollowing the force'' through the initial six-BCT 
increase was not previously communicated to the Committee with 
regards to the military construction program or the Grow the 
Army stationing plan. The Committee strongly believes that any 
further decisions regarding Army force structure and 
stationing, including those incorporated in the QDR process, 
should be made in concert with the programming and budgeting 
process for fiscal years 2011 and beyond.

    New High School, Vicenza, Italy.--The Committee is 
concerned about the absence of a budget request for a new high 
school at the Villaggio Housing Area in Vicenza, Italy, to 
serve the dependent children of soldiers of the consolidating 
173rd Airborne Brigade. While funds have been requested and 
provided for new elementary and middle schools, the Department 
of Defense has not yet requested funds for a new high school. 
The lack of a new high school collocated with the elementary 
and middle schools will lead to a suboptimal educational 
setting and detract from the quality of life for soldiers and 
families stationed in Vicenza. The Committee urges the 
Department to consider including funds for the new high school 
in the fiscal year 2011 budget request.
    Purchase and Generation of Renewable Energy.--The 2007 
Defense Installations Strategic Plan (ISP) of the Department of 
Defense includes the objective of reducing reliance on fossil 
fuels to meet facility energy requirements. One component of 
this objective is a goal to increase the purchase and/or 
generation of renewable energy to 25 percent of all electricity 
consumed by 2025. The Committee encourages the Department to 
meet and exceed this goal, and directs the Department to submit 
a report to the Committee on how military construction and 
family housing programs are being used to meet the ISP goals 
for the purchase and generation of renewable energy, including 
the use of renewable-source lighting at military installations. 
This report shall be submitted no later than October 1, 2009.

(AASF) #1 located at Morrisville, North Carolina. The current 
AASF was built in 1988 and requires a fixed wing annex to 
permit necessary maintenance of assigned aircraft. The 
Committee urges the Army National Guard to consider including 
this facility in the next Future Years Defense Plan, and 
directs the Director of the Army National Guard to submit to 
the Committee a status report on the design of this facility no 
later than February 1, 2010.

    Fiscal year 2010 budget request...................      (41,400,000)


    The North Atlantic Treaty Organization Security Investment 
Program (NSIP) consists of annual contributions by NATO member 
countries. The program finances the costs of construction 
needed to support the roles of the major NATO commands. The 
investments cover facilities such as airfields, fuel pipelines 
and storage, harbors, communications and information systems, 
radar and navigational aids, and military headquarters.
    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $234,914,000 
for NSIP, an increase of $4,047,000 above the fiscal year 2009 
enacted level and a decrease of $41,400,000 below the budget 
request. The reduction from the request is for funds requested 
by the Department of Defense for its share of the cost of the 
new NATO headquarters. The new headquarters is not an NSIP 
project and the Committee therefore recommends providing these 
funds under Military Construction, Defense-Wide.
    Occasionally, the U.S. has been forced to delay temporarily 
the authorization of projects due to shortfalls in U.S. 
obligation authority. The Committee directs the Secretary of 
Defense to notify the Committee within 14 days of the U.S. 
taking action to delay temporarily the authorization of 
projects, or to withhold temporarily funds from previously 
authorized projects, due to shortfalls in U.S. obligation 
authority.

\1\Does not include $690,000,000 in emergency appropriations provided in
  the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.

    Family housing construction accounts provide funds for new 
construction, construction improvements, the Federal government 
costs for family housing privatization projects, and planning 
and design. The operation and maintenance accounts provide 
funds to pay for maintenance and repair, furnishings, 
management, services, utilities, leasing, interest, mortgage 
insurance, and miscellaneous expenses.
    The Committee recommends a total appropriation of 
$1,958,698,000 for the family housing construction and 
operation and maintenance accounts, a decrease of 
$1,199,062,000 below the fiscal year 2009 enacted level and the 
same as the budget request. The decrease below the 2009 enacted 
level is due to the Department of Defense's success in 
implementing the Military Housing Privatization Initiative, 
leading to a reduced requirement for appropriated construction 
and operating costs. The Committee has retained bill language 
incorporating the family housing construction projects 
specified in this report into the text of the bill by 
reference.
    Family Housing Privatization Progress Reports.--The 
Committee directs the Department of Defense to continue 
submitting semi-annual progress reports on the family housing 
privatization program, including a breakout of military tenant 
satisfaction rates by project. The Committee notes that the 
most recent report is overdue, and directs the Department to 
submit this report no later than July 31, 2009.
    Foreign Currency Savings and Sub-Account Transfers.--The 
Committee directs that savings from foreign currency re-
estimates be used to maintain existing family housing units. 
The Comptroller is directed to report to the Committees on 
Appropriations of both Houses of Congress on how these savings 
are allocated by December 1, 2009. In addition, the Committee 
directs the Services and Defense agencies to notify the 
Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress within 
30 days of a transfer of funds between subaccounts within the 
family housing construction and family housing operation and 
maintenance accounts, if such transfer is in excess of 10 
percent of the funds appropriated to the sub-account to which 
the funds are being transferred. Notifications to the 
Committees shall indicate the sub-accounts and amounts that are 
being used to source the transfer.
    Leasing Reporting Requirements.--The Secretary of Defense 
is directed to report to the Committees on Appropriations of 
both Houses of Congress quarterly on the details of all new or 
renewed domestic leases entered into during the previous 
quarter that exceed the cost threshold set by 10 U.S.C. 
2828(b)(2), including certification that less expensive housing 
was not available for lease. For foreign leases, the Department 
is directed to: (1) perform an economic analysis on all new 
leases or lease/contract agreements where more than 25 units 
are involved; (2) report the details of new or renewed lease 
agreements that exceed the cost threshold set by 10 U.S.C. 
2828(e)(1) 21 days prior to entering into such an agreement; 
and (3) base leasing decisions on the economic analysis.

    The Family Housing Improvement Fund (FHIF) is authorized by 
section 2883, title 10, United States Code, and provides the 
Department of Defense with authority to finance joint ventures 
with the private sector to revitalize and to manage the 
Department's housing inventory. The statute authorizes the 
Department to use limited partnerships, make direct and 
guaranteed loans, and convey Department-owned property to 
stimulate the private sector to increase the availability of 
affordable, quality housing for military personnel.
    The FHIF is used to build or renovate family housing by 
mixing or matching various legal authorities, and by utilizing 
private capital and expertise to the maximum extent possible. 
The fund is administered as a single account without fiscal 
year limitations and contains appropriated and transferred 
funds from family housing construction accounts.
    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $2,600,000 for 
the Department of Defense Family Housing Improvement Fund, an

to individual military and Federal civilian homeowners who 
sustain losses on the sales of their primary residences due to 
declining real estate markets attributable to the closure or 
realignment of military installations. This non-expiring 
revolving fund receives funding from several sources, including 
appropriations, borrowing authority, reimbursable authority, 
prior fiscal year unobligated balances, appropriation 
transfers, revenue from sale of acquired properties, and 
recovery of prior year obligations.
    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $23,225,000 
for the Department of Defense Homeowners Assistance Fund, an

\1\All funding cited excludes amounts in the Medical Care Collections
  Fund.
\2\Does not reflect American Recovery and Reinvestment Act emergency
  appropriation of $1,401,000,000 and Filipino Compensation Fund
  emergency appropriation of $198,000,000.

    The Department of Veterans Affairs is one of the largest 
Federal agencies in terms of employment with an average 
employment of approximately 279,200. The nation has more than 
23,400,000 veterans, and 35,800,000 family members of living 
veterans and survivors of deceased veterans. Thus, close to 
59,200,000 people, comprising about 19.4 percent of the total 
population of the United States, are potential recipients of 
veterans benefits provided by the Federal government.
    The Committee recommends a total of $108,860,775,000 in new 
budget authority for programs in fiscal year 2010, an increase 
of $14,511,718,000 or 15.4 percent above the fiscal year 2009 
enacted level and the same as the budget request.
    The funds recommended provide compensation payments to 
3,502,552 veterans and survivors of deceased veterans with 
service-connected disabilities; pension payments to 490,956 
non-service-connected disabled veterans, widows and children in 
need of financial assistance; education training, tuition 
assistance, and vocational assistance to 679,572 veterans, 
servicemembers, and reservists, and 84,569 eligible dependents 
of deceased veterans or seriously disabled veterans; housing 
credit assistance in the form of 220,000 guaranteed loans to 
veterans and servicemembers; administration or supervision of 
life insurance programs with 6,874,471 policies for veterans 
and active duty servicemembers providing coverage of 
$1,089,229,050,000; inpatient care and treatment of 
beneficiaries in 153 hospitals, 52 domiciliary residential 
rehabilitation treatment programs (formerly called 
``domiciliaries''), 135 nursing homes, and 1,140 outpatient 
clinics, which includes independent, satellite, community-
based, and rural outreach clinics involving 74,496,000 visits; 
and administration of the National Cemetery Administration for 
burial of eligible veterans, servicemembers and their 
survivors.
    Minority Business Participation in Contracting and 
Procurement.--The Committee is pleased that the Department of 
Veterans Affairs is making progress in increasing the 
percentage of federal contract dollars awarded to women and 
minority-owned businesses and for other federal contracting 
programs for small businesses. The increased level of detail 
that the Department uses to track both its technical assistance 
and outreach programs that assist small socially and 
economically disadvantaged firms and other small businesses is 
encouraging, and should continue as a means of both reaching 
their aspirational goals and general oversight of federal 
contracting funds. The Committee directs the Department of 
Veterans Affairs to provide a report to the Committee detailing 
the results of their women and minority-owned business 
technical assistance and outreach program reviews, report the 
percentage of federal procurement contracts and subcontracts 
awarded to women and minority-owned businesses, and identify 
how the Department of Veterans Affairs plans to increase 
diversity in federal procurement and contract awards.

    Fiscal year 2009 enacted level....................     4,106,526,000
    Fiscal year 2010 budget request...................             - - -


    This appropriation provides funds for service-connected 
compensation payments to an estimated 3,502,552 beneficiaries 
and pension payments to another 490,956 beneficiaries with non-
service-connected disabilities. The average cost per 
compensation case in 2010 is estimated at $12,247, and pension 
payments are projected at a unit cost of $8,173.
    The Committee recommends an appropriation of 
$47,218,207,000 for compensation, pension, and burial benefits, 
an increase of $4,106,526,000 above the fiscal year 2009 
enacted level and the same as the budget request.
    The appropriation includes authority to transfer funding 
not to exceed $29,283,000, of which $10,149,000 is for the 
General Operating Expenses account, $13,998,000 is for the 
Medical Support and Compliance account, and $5,136,000 is for 
the Information Technology Systems account. These funds are for 
the administrative expenses of implementing cost saving 
provisions required by the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 
1990, Public Law 101-508, the Veterans' Benefits Act of 1992, 
Public Law 102-568, and the Veterans' Benefits Improvements Act 
of 1994, Public Law 103-446. These cost saving provisions 
include verifying pension income against Internal Revenue 
Service (IRS) and Social Security Administration (SSA) data; 
establishing a match with the SSA to obtain verification of 
Social Security numbers; and the VA pension cap for Medicaid-
eligible single veterans and surviving spouses alone in 
Medicaid-covered nursing homes. The bill also includes language 
permitting this appropriation to reimburse such sums as may be 
earned to the medical care collections fund to help defray the 
operating expenses of individual medical facilities for nursing 
home care provided to pensioners.

                         READJUSTMENT BENEFITS

    Fiscal year 2009 enacted level....................     4,830,680,000
    Fiscal year 2010 budget request...................             - - -


    This appropriation finances the education and training of 
veterans and servicemembers whose initial entry on active duty 
took place on or after July 1, 1985. These benefits are 
included in the All-Volunteer Force Educational Assistance 
Program. Eligibility to receive this assistance began in 1987. 
Basic benefits are funded through appropriations made to the 
Readjustment Benefits appropriation and transfers from the 
Department of Defense. Supplemental benefits are also provided 
to certain veterans through education assistance to certain 
members of the Selected Reserve and are funded through 
transfers from the Department of Defense. This account also 
includes the cost of education benefits for servicemembers 
whose service took place on or after September 11, 2001. In 
addition, certain disabled veterans are provided with 
vocational rehabilitation, specially adapted housing grants, 
and automobile grants with approved adaptive equipment.
    This account also finances educational assistance 
allowances for eligible dependents of those veterans who died 
from service-connected causes or have a total and permanent 
service-connected disability as well as dependents of 
servicemembers who were captured or missing-in-action.
    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $8,663,624,000 
for Readjustment Benefits, an increase of $4,830,680,000 above 
the fiscal year 2009 enacted level and the same as the budget 
request. The significant increase in funding for this account 
is a result of implementation of the Post 9/11 GI Bill (chapter 
33).

                   VETERANS INSURANCE AND INDEMNITIES




Fiscal year 2009 enacted level........................       $42,300,000

    Fiscal year 2009 enacted level....................         6,988,000
    Fiscal year 2010 budget request...................             - - -


    The Veterans Insurance and Indemnities appropriation is 
made up of the former appropriations for military and naval 
insurance, applicable to World War I veterans; national service 
life insurance (NSLI), applicable to certain World War II 
veterans; servicemen's indemnities, applicable to Korean 
conflict veterans; and the veterans mortgage life insurance, 
applicable to individuals who have received a grant for 
specially adapted housing.
    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $49,288,000 
for Veterans Insurance and Indemnities, an increase of 
$6,988,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted level and the 
same as the budget request. The amount provided will enable the 
Department to transfer funding to the service-disabled veterans 
insurance fund and transfer additional amounts for payments for 
policies under the veterans mortgage life insurance program. 
These policies are identified under the Veterans Insurance and 
Indemnity appropriation since they provide insurance to 
service-disabled veterans unable to qualify under basic NSLI.

    The purpose of the home loan guaranty program is to 
facilitate the extension of mortgage credit on favorable terms 
by private lenders to eligible veterans. This appropriation 
provides for all costs, with the exception of the Native 
American veterans housing loan program, of the Department's 
direct and guaranteed loans programs. The Federal Credit Reform 
Act of 1990 requires budgetary resources to be available prior 
to incurring a direct loan obligation or a loan guaranty 
commitment. In addition, the bill requires all administrative 
expenses of a direct or guaranteed loan program to be funded 
through a program account. Loan guaranties are made to 
servicemembers, veterans, reservists, and single surviving 
spouses for the purchase of homes, condominiums, and 
manufactured homes and for refinancing loans. The Department 
guarantees part of the total loan, permitting the purchaser to 
obtain a mortgage with a competitive interest rate, even 
without a down payment if the lender agrees. The Department 
requires that a down payment be made for a manufactured home. 
With a Department guaranty, the lender is protected against 
loss, up to the amount of the guaranty, if the borrower fails 
to repay the loan.
    The Committee recommends such sums as may be necessary 
(currently estimated to total $23,553,000) for funding subsidy 
payments, $500,000 for the limitation on direct loans for 
specially adapted housing loans, and $165,082,000 for 
administrative expenses.

    This appropriation covers the funding subsidy cost of 
direct loans for vocational rehabilitation of eligible veterans 
and, in addition, it includes administrative expenses necessary 
to carry out the direct loan program. Loans of up to $1,041 
(based on indexed chapter 31 subsistence allowance rate) are 
available to service-connected disabled veterans enrolled in 
vocational rehabilitation programs when the veteran is 
temporarily in need of additional assistance. Repayment is made 
in monthly installments, without interest, through deductions 
from future payments of compensation, pension, subsistence 
allowance, educational assistance allowance, or retirement pay. 
Most loans are repaid in full in less than one year. The 
Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990 requires budgetary resources 
to be available prior to incurring a direct loan obligation.
    The Committee recommends $29,000 for funding subsidy 
program costs and $328,000 for administrative expenses. The 
administrative expenses may be transferred to and merged with 
the General Operating Expenses account.
    In addition, the Committee includes language limiting 
direct loans to $2,298,000. It is estimated that the Department 
will make 2,509 loans in fiscal year 2010, with an average 
amount of $916.

    The Native American Veteran Housing Loan Program, as 
authorized by title 38 United States Code, chapter 37, 
subchapter V, provides the Secretary with authority to make 
direct housing loans to Native American veterans for the 
purpose of purchasing, constructing, or improving dwellings on 
trust lands. The Committee recommends the budget request of 
$664,000 for administrative expenses of the Native American 
Veteran Housing Loan Program, which may be transferred to and 
merged with the General Operating Expenses account.

  GUARANTEED TRANSITIONAL HOUSING LOANS FOR HOMELESS VETERANS PROGRAM 
                                ACCOUNT

    Public Law 105-368, the Veterans Benefits Enhancement Act 
of 1998, established this program. All funds authorized for 
this program were appropriated in fiscal year 2000. Therefore, 
no appropriation request has been included for fiscal year 
2010. Bill language is included allowing the use of up to a 
total of $750,000 in Medical Support and Compliance and General 
Operating Expenses funds to administer this program.

                     Veterans Health Administration

    The Department operates the largest Federal medical care 
delivery system in the country, with 153 hospitals, 52 
domiciliary residential rehabilitation treatment programs 
(formerly called `domiciliaries'), 135 nursing homes, and 1,140 
outpatient clinics which include independent, satellite, 
community-based, and rural outreach clinics.
    The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) is comprised of 
four accounts: Medical Services, Medical Support and 
Compliance, Medical Facilities, and Medical and Prosthetic 
Research. For these accounts, the Administration has requested 
total resources of $45,077,500,000 in direct appropriations and 
$2,954,000,000 in Medical Care Collections Fund appropriations, 
to fund the various operating programs of the VHA.
    The Committee recommends an appropriation of 
$45,077,500,000 for these four accounts for fiscal year 2010. 
This is an increase of $4,372,497,000 above the fiscal year 
2009 enacted level after transfers, and the same as the budget 
request. While the Fiscal Year 2010 Budget Resolution provided 
for an advance appropriation for the medical services, medical 
support and compliance, and medical facilities accounts, the 
fiscal year 2010 budget request did not include a request for 
any fiscal year 2011 amounts. The Secretary of Veterans Affairs 
testified during budget hearings that he would ``work with 
Congress to develop a specific advance appropriations proposal 
for the VA Medical Care Program.'' The Committee commends the 
Secretary for his support of advance appropriations and agrees 
with his proposal. Therefore, the Committee recommends an 
appropriation of $48,183,000,000 for the medical services, 
medical support and compliance, and medical facilities accounts 
for fiscal year 2011.
    Vet Centers.--The Department is urged to evaluate and 
report on the feasibility of establishing a Vet Center in 
Chesapeake, VA.
    Blue Ribbon Panel on VA-Medical School Affiliations.--The 
Committee recognizes the efforts made by the Department to 
provide students at minority health professions schools with 
opportunities to learn and gain experience through its health 
care system. The Committee understands that the Department has 
established a Blue Ribbon Panel on VA Medical School 
Affiliations to ``advise the Secretary of Veterans Affairs and 
Under Secretary for Health on the formation of a comprehensive 
framework for guiding VA's affiliations with medical schools 
and academic medical centers''. The Committee looks forward to 
learning the recommendations of this panel and directs the 
Under Secretary for Health to provide a report to the 
Appropriations Committees of both Houses of Congress by January 
29, 2010 on the panel's recommendations.
    Vet Centers and Family Counseling.--The Committee believes 
that Vet Centers play an important role in providing community-
based readjustment counseling services to veterans and their 
families. Therefore, the Committee was pleased to note that the 
budget request includes an additional 28 Vet Centers for fiscal 
year 2010. The Committee remains concerned, however, that more 
needs to be done to provide assistance and counseling to the 
families of our veterans and Public Law 110-387 clarified that 
the Secretary of Veterans Affairs has the authority to provide 
these services in such facilities as the Secretary considers 
necessary. The Committee directs the Department to report to 
the Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress 
than March 23, 2010 on the actions taken by the Department to 
improve access to counseling services for families of veterans.
    Rural Health.--While the Committee is pleased that the 
budget request includes additional funding to support the 
President's initiative to improve access to medical care for 
veterans in rural and highly rural areas, the Committee is 
disappointed that the Department will spend so little of the 
rural health funding provided in the fiscal year 2009 
appropriation in fiscal year 2009. The Committee expects the 
Department to accelerate efforts to improve rural health 
services. The Committee also urges the Department to address 
areas of the country with critical health needs where VHA 
services are not currently available through partnership with 
local health care facilities so that all veterans are able to 
receive quality, accessible health care.
    VHA National Formulary.--While the Committee acknowledges 
that the Veterans Health Administration is widely recognized 
for providing veterans with an efficient, high quality drug 
benefit, the Committee is concerned that the process for adding 
pharmaceuticals to the VA national formulary may delay veteran 
access to needed medications. Additionally, the VHA lacks a 
formal process for obtaining patient input on the formulary. 
The Committee directs the Government Accountability Office to 
conduct a review of the VHA formulary process and report 
findings to the Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of 
Congress no later than May 25, 2010.
    Endoscope Use and Reprocessing.--The Committee directs the 
Department to provide a report by July 31, 2009, detailing VHA 
management plans to ensure compliance with relevant directives 
regarding endoscope reprocessing, to explore ways for improving 
the reliability of endoscope reprocessing within the VA and 
with non-VA experts such as the Food and Drug Administration, 
and to review the organizational structure and make any 
necessary changes to implement quality controls and ensure 
compliance with such directives.
    PTSD Call Center.--The VA has announced an intention to 
implement a nationwide toll-free Call Center staffed 24/7 by 
combat veteran peers to provide support and referral 
information for veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress 
disorder (PTSD). The Committee believes the establishment of a 
national Call Center providing PTSD support is vital to the 
welfare of our nation's veterans and their families, and that 
talking to another veteran can be important to getting a caller 
to accept help. Furthermore, the Committee believes that the 
Call Center should be available to family members and friends 
who are seeking assistance for their loved ones. The Committee 
urges the Department to accelerate implementation of the PTSD 
Call Center and directs the Under Secretary for Health to 
submit to the Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of 
Congress, not later than October 1, 2009, a report on actions 
taken by the Department to establish the Call Center.

Committee recommendation in the bill..................
    Fiscal year 2011 advance appropriation............    37,136,000,000

\1\Reflects transfer to Information Technology Systems of $253,900,000
  approved by the Committee on January 6, 2009.

    This appropriation provides for medical services of 
eligible veterans and beneficiaries in Department medical 
centers, outpatient clinic facilities, contract hospitals, 
State homes, and outpatient programs on a fee basis. Hospital 
and outpatient care is also provided by the private sector for 
certain dependents and survivors of veterans under the civilian 
health and medical programs for the Department of Veterans 
Affairs.
    The Committee recommends an appropriation of 
$34,704,500,000 for Medical Services for fiscal year 2010, an 
increase of $3,988,497,000 or 13 percent above the fiscal year 
2009 current estimate and the same as the budget request. The 
Committee recommends an advance appropriation for fiscal year 
2011 of $37,136,000,000, which is the same as the Secretary's 
proposal. The Committee has included bill language to make 
available through September 30, 2011, up to $1,015,000,000 of 
the Medical Services appropriation for fiscal year 2010.
    Distribution of Budget Increases to Medical Facilities.--
The Committee is concerned that recent VERA allocations may not 
have included budget increases proportionate to the 
appropriations increases provided to the medical accounts and 
expects the VHA to align these increases more closely in future 
VERA allocations.
    Substance Abuse Services.--The fiscal year 2009 budget 
submission did not include substance abuse services as a Select 
Program. In communications with the Department, the Committee 
was informed that the Department estimated that $583,074,000 
would be spent on substance abuse services in fiscal year 2009. 
The fiscal year 2010 budget submission now estimates that the 
Department will spend $487,726,000 in fiscal year 2009 and has 
projected a spending increase of less than two percent for this 
patient population for fiscal year 2010. The Committee is 
concerned that this level of funding is not adequate to allow 
the facilities to fully implement a uniform addiction and 
mental health benefit package for all veterans as outlined by 
the VHA strategic plan for Mental Health Services. The 
Committee directs the Under Secretary for Health to provide a 
report to the Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of 
Congress by August 21, 2009 on the reasons for the dramatic 
change in the fiscal year 2009 estimate and the justification 
for a budget increase of less than two percent for fiscal year 
2010.
    HIV Testing at VA Facilities.--In September 2006, the 
Centers for Disease Control (CDC) released Revised 
Recommendations for HIV Testing of Adults, Adolescents, and 
Pregnant Women in Health-Care Settings. These new 
recommendations advised routine HIV screening of adults, 
adolescents, and pregnant women and also recommended reducing 
barriers to HIV testing. Public Law 110-387 repealed the 
limitation on authority for the Department to conduct wide-
spread HIV testing so that the Department could adopt these 
recommendations. The Committee directs the Department to 
provide a report to the Committees on Appropriations of both 
Houses of Congress by January 22, 2010 on its progress to more 
closely align Department policy with CDC recommendations to 
include any barriers that prevent full implementation of those 
recommendations.
    Beneficiary Travel.--The Committee is pleased that while 
Public Law 110-387 sets the minimum reimbursement rate for 
beneficiary travel as the mileage reimbursement rate prescribed 
by the Administrator of General Services (currently 28.5 cents 
per mile), the Secretary implemented Congressional direction to 
reimburse at the higher rate of 41.5 cents per mile in fiscal 
year 2009. The Committee also notes that the budget request for 
fiscal year 2010 supports this rate, even as the deductible has 
been reduced and frozen to the original rates of $3 for a one-
way trip, $6 for a round trip, with a calendar month cap of 
$18.

    The Medical Support and Compliance appropriation funds the 
expenses of management and administration of the Department's 
health care system to include financial management, public 
health and environmental hazard, quality and performance 
management, medical inspection, human research oversight, 
training programs and continuing education, security, volunteer 
operations, and human resources.
    The Committee recommends $4,900,000,000 for Medical Support 
and Compliance for fiscal year 2010, an increase of 
$450,000,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted level and a 
decrease of $200,000,000 below the budget request. The 
Committee recommends an advance appropriation for fiscal year 
2011 of $5,307,000,000, which is the same as the Secretary's 
proposal. The Committee has included bill language to make 
available through September 30, 2011, up to $145,000,000 of the 
Medical Support and Compliance appropriation for fiscal year 
2010.

\1\Does not reflect American Recovery and Reinvestment Act emergency
  appropriation of $1,000,000,000.

    The Medical Facilities appropriation provides funds for the 
operation and maintenance of the Department's health care 
system's capital infrastructure. Included under this heading 
are provisions for costs associated with utilities, 
engineering, capital planning, leases, laundry, groundskeeping, 
garbage, housekeeping, facility repair, and property 
disposition and acquisition.
    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $4,893,000,000 
for Medical Facilities for fiscal year 2010, a decrease of 
$136,000,000 below the fiscal year 2009 enacted level and an 
increase of $200,000,000 above the budget request. The 
Committee recommends an advance appropriation for fiscal year 
2011 of $5,740,000,000 which is the same as the Secretary's 
proposal. The Committee has included bill language to make 
available through September 30, 2011, up to $145,000,000 of the 
Medical Facilities appropriation for fiscal year 2010.
    The increased fiscal year 2010 funding is to be used to 
address non-recurring maintenance issues identified in the 
Department's Facilities Condition Assessment report on 
conditions at existing facilities. The additional funds, when 
combined with the budget request and the American Recovery and 
Reinvestment Act carryover funding, will result in a total of 
$1,172,205,000 for non-recurring maintenance in fiscal year 
2010. The additional funding provided is to be distributed in a 
manner not subject to the Veterans Equitable Resource 
Allocation model.
    Chattanooga Community-Based Outpatient Clinic.--The 
Committee is aware that patient utilization at the Community-
Based Outpatient Clinic in Chattanooga, TN, grew four percent 
annually between fiscal years 2005 and 2007, and is expected to 
continue to grow. Patient enrollment is projected to increase 
by five percent by 2015 in the Chattanooga service area, and 
there is a clear need to expand primary care, subspecialty 
care, ambulatory surgery and pain management, and to support 
OIF/OEF veterans, women's health, and other special programs. 
The Department is directed to report to the Committees on 
Appropriations of both Houses of Congress by February 15, 2010 
on its plans for a new outpatient facility in Chattanooga.
    Toledo VA Clinic.--The Committee expects, that prior to any 
approval being given or contract awarded by the Department for 
construction of a replacement VA clinic facility in Toledo, 
Ohio, the ongoing needs study mandated by the VA Central Office 
shall include involvement by community stakeholders across the 
Northwest Ohio/Toledo, Ohio service region (including Monroe 
and Lenawee counties in Michigan). Additionally, plans for any 
new facility being constructed to replace the existing space 
shall demonstrate how its power requirements will link to green 
energy and renewable power systems being installed in the 
vicinity.
    Community-Based Outpatient Clinic.--The Department is urged 
to examine the need for, and report on the feasibility of, a 
Community-Based Outpatient Clinic in Idabel, OK and Hinesville, 
GA.

                    MEDICAL AND PROSTHETIC RESEARCH




Fiscal year 2009 enacted level........................      $510,000,000
Fiscal year 2010 budget request.......................       580,000,000
Committee recommendation in the bill..................       580,000,000
Comparison with:
    Fiscal year 2009 enacted level....................        70,000,000
    Fiscal year 2010 budget request...................             - - -


    This account includes medical, rehabilitative, and health 
services research. Medical research is an important aspect of 
the Department's programs, providing complete medical and 
hospital services for veterans. The prosthetic research program 
is also essential in the development and testing of prosthetic, 
orthopedic, and sensory aids for the purpose of improving the 
care and rehabilitation of eligible disabled veterans, 
including amputees, paraplegics, and the blind. The health 
services research program provides unique opportunities to 
improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the health care 
delivery system. In addition, budgetary resources from a number 
of areas including appropriations from the medical care 
accounts, reimbursements from the Department of Defense, grants 
from the National Institutes of Health, private proprietary 
sources, and voluntary organizations provide support for the 
Department's researchers.
    The Committee recommends $580,000,000 for Medical and 
Prosthetic Research, an increase of $70,000,000 above the 
fiscal year 2009 enacted level and the same as the budget 
request.
    Medical Research Items of Interest.--The Committee is 
encouraged by the substantial budget increase for medical 
research in the fiscal year 2010 budget submission and the 
initiatives identified for additional funding. The Committee 
urges the Department to continue to increase funding for 
medical research that will inform and improve the delivery of 
health care for our veterans and further urges the Department 
to consider the support of additional research into the links 
between diseases and veteran populations (such as Amyotrophic 
Lateral Sclerosis and certain cancers). The Committee also 
notes that the Department has recently raised the funding caps 
for merit review projects and supports the systemic review of 
award funding levels. Additionally, the Committee strongly 
urges the Department to continue to improve its collaboration 
with other federal research agencies such as the Department of 
Defense, the National Institute of Disability and 
Rehabilitation Research of the Department of Education, and the 
National Institutes of Health.
    VA/DOD Reporting and Analysis Data Mart.--Recent studies 
utilizing the data available in the VA/DOD Reporting and 
Analysis Data Mart have proven its value in assisting 
researchers and leaders to understand the distribution of our 
veteran population and their health care utilization patterns. 
The Committee directs the Department to report to the 
Appropriations Committees of both Houses of Congress by January 
8, 2010 on progress to fully populate the VA/DOD Reporting and 
Analysis Data Mart with records of individuals who became 
veterans starting with the current fiscal year and working 
backwards to at least fiscal year 2000. The Committee urges the 
Department to partner with the Department of Defense to 
assemble and organize the necessary data files that will be 
shared as well as determine the business rules that govern the 
assembly and use of the data sets.

                     MEDICAL CARE COLLECTIONS FUND

    The Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Care Collections 
Fund (MCCF) was established by the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 
(Public Law 105-33). The Department deposits first-party and 
pharmacy co-payments, third-party insurance payments and 
enhanced-use collections, long-term care co-payments, 
Compensated Work Therapy Program collections, Compensation and 
Pension Living Expenses Program collections, and Parking 
Program fees into the MCCF. The Congressional Budget Office 
estimate of fees that will be collected in fiscal year 2010 is 
$2,954,000,000.

                    National Cemetery Administration





Fiscal year 2009 enacted level\1\.....................      $230,000,000

Committee recommendation in the bill..................       250,000,000
Comparison with:
    Fiscal year 2009 enacted level....................        20,000,000
    Fiscal year 2010 budget request...................        8,000,000

\1\Does not reflect American Recovery and Reinvestment Act emergency
  appropriation of $50,000,000.

    The National Cemetery Administration was established in 
accordance with Public Law 93-43, the National Cemeteries Act 
of 1973. It has a fourfold mission: to provide for the 
interment of, in any national cemetery with available grave 
space, the remains of eligible deceased servicemembers and 
discharged veterans, together with their spouses and certain 
dependents, and to permanently maintain their graves; to 
provide headstones for, and to mark graves of eligible persons 
in national, State, and private cemeteries; to administer the 
grant program for aid to States in establishing, expanding, or 
improving State veterans' cemeteries; and to administer the 
Presidential Memorial Certificate Program. This appropriation 
will provide for the operation and maintenance of 164 
cemeterial installations in 39 States, the District of 
Columbia, and Puerto Rico.
    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $250,000,000 
for the National Cemetery Administration, an increase of 
$20,000,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted level and an 
increase of $8,000,000 above the budget request. The additional 
funding is for the National shrine commitment program, an 
initiative to improve the overall appearance and condition of 
cemeteries as identified in the study on veterans cemeteries 
which was submitted to the Congress in 2002.
    Chattanooga National Cemetery.--The Committee recognizes 
the efforts of the Chattanooga National Cemetery to identify 
additional gravesites within existing boundaries to remain open 
until 2025, but it will eventually reach capacity. The 
Committee directs the Department to report by January 29, 2010 
on plans to expand the Chattanooga National Cemetery.

                       GENERAL OPERATING EXPENSES




Fiscal year 2009 enacted level\1\\2\..................    $1,797,067,000
Fiscal year 2010 budget request.......................     2,218,500,000
Committee recommendation in the bill..................     2,083,700,000
Comparison with:
    Fiscal year 2009 enacted level....................       286,633,000
    Fiscal year 2010 budget request...................    (134,800,000)

\1\Reflects transfer to Information Technology Systems of $4,800,000
  approved by the Committee on January 6, 2009.
\2\Does not reflect American Recovery and Reinvestment Act emergency
  appropriation of $150,000,000.

    The General Operating Expenses appropriation provides for 
the administration of non-medical veterans benefits through the 
Veterans Benefits Administration and departmental management 
and support.
    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $2,083,700,000 
for General Operating Expenses, an increase of $286,663,000 
above the fiscal year 2009 current estimate and a decrease of 
$134,800,000 below the budget request. The amount provided 
includes $1,690,200,000 for the Veterans Benefits 
Administration.
    The Committee recommendation reverses the proposal 
contained in the budget request which would have shifted the 
cost of disability compensation exams from the Compensation and 
Pensions account to this account. In order for that shift to 
occur, existing legislation must be changed and no legislative 
proposal to accomplish that change has been submitted to the 
Congress. The Committee's recommendation will result in a 
continuation of the status quo.
    The Committee recommendation endorses the budget proposal 
to increase the number of disability claims processors by 
approximately 1200.
    The Committee recommendation endorses the Public and 
Intergovernmental Affairs' budget request which includes 
$6,500,000 to organize, promote, and facilitate adaptive sports 
and paralympic events for disabled veterans and service 
members.

Comparison with:
    Fiscal year 2009 enacted level....................       558,909,000
    Fiscal year 2010 budget request...................            - - -

\1\Reflects transfer of $258,700,000 from Medical Services and General
  Operating Expenses approved by the Committee on January 6, 2009.
\2\Does not reflect American Recovery and Reinvestment Act emergency
  appropriation of $50,000,000.

    The Information Technology Systems account was established 
in P.L. 109-114. The account previously encompassed the entire 
non-pay information technology portfolio for the Department of 
Veterans Affairs, including all automation efforts in all 
administrations. Starting in fiscal year 2007, and reflected 
for the first time in the budget request for fiscal year 2008, 
this account also included pay and associated costs for 
information technology staff.
    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $3,307,000,000 
for Information Technology Systems, an increase of $558,909,000 
above the fiscal year 2009 current estimate, and the same as 
the budget request.
    The Committee has included bill language requiring the 
Department to submit an expenditure plan for the total amount 
provided, not later than 30 days after enactment of this Act. 
In addition, an administrative provision is included in the 
bill which allows for the reprogramming of funds in this 
account between projects upon prior notification to, and 
approval by, the Committee.
    The Denver VA Medical Center is the tertiary cardiac care 
center for veterans for the five rural states in VISN 19 and 
one of the Department's cardiac catheterization laboratory data 
repositories. Because of distance and capacity issues, the 
Denver VA Medical Center is dependent on the private sector for 
veterans' cardiac health care in VISN 19, but there is no 
mechanism in place for sharing critical clinical data within 
these rural areas in a secure and timely manner. The Committee 
urges the Department to consider proposals for pilot projects 
in VISN 19 that would demonstrate the bidirectional sharing of 
cardiac data between the Denver VA Medical Center and private 
sector hospitals.
    Automated System for the Electronic Preparation of Veterans 
Disability Claims.--The processes involved with submitting 
disability compensation and pension claims with the Department 
is one of the most challenging obstacles to the timely and 
accurate receipt of veterans benefits. While the Department has 
made progress in deploying electronic records for veterans, 
further advances in technology may enable automation of even 
the most complicated of claims administration. For instance, 
commercial products have automated the filing of taxes and 
receipt of state and federal returns. Such user-friendly 
technology may be adaptable for the administration of claims 
processing while also supporting the transition to electronic 
records. The Committee encourages the Department to explore 
such technologies and report by January 29, 2010, on the 
feasibility of using this technology for claims filings.

                    OFFICE OF THE INSPECTOR GENERAL




Fiscal year 2009 enacted level\1\.....................       $87,818,000
Fiscal year 2010 budget request.......................       107,000,000
Committee recommendation in the bill..................       107,000,000
Comparison with:
    Fiscal year 2009 enacted level....................        19,182,000
    Fiscal year 2010 budget request...................             - - -

\1\Does not reflect American Recovery and Reinvestment Act emergency
  appropriation of $1,000,000.

    The Office of Inspector General was established by the 
Inspector General Act of 1978 and is responsible for the audit, 
investigation, and inspection of all Department of Veterans 
Affairs programs and operations. The overall operational 
objective is to focus available resources on areas which would 
help improve services to veterans and their beneficiaries, 
assist managers of Department programs to operate economically 
in accomplishing program goals, and to prevent and deter 
recurring and potential fraud, waste, and inefficiencies.
    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $107,000,000 
for the Office of Inspector General, an increase of $19,182,000 
above the fiscal year 2009 enacted level and the same as the 
budget request.
    The Committee recommendation endorses the oversight efforts 
the Office of Inspector General proposes in the areas of 
financial audit as well as oversight of information technology 
and medical programs.
    The VA Office of Inspector General Report Implementation of 
the VHA's Uniform Mental Health Services Handbook states that 
the VHA's Handbook 1160.01, Uniform Mental Health Services in 
VA Medical Centers and Clinics translates the mental health 
strategic plan into an ``operational, point of service, 
programmatic package of approximately 400 mental health 
services provided or available to eligible veterans at VA 
medical centers and community-based outpatient clinics (CBOCs) 
of varying size''. While the report indicates that 
implementation of the program is ongoing, more needs to be done 
to ensure that a uniform mental health benefit package is 
provided to all veterans. The Committee directs the Office of 
Inspector General to conduct a review of the Department's 
continued progress to include an assessment of the metrics 
developed to ensure implementation of requirements, an 
assessment of the system developed to track use of evidence-
based PTSD therapies, a determination of whether the Department 
has sufficient inpatient capability available for substance 
abuse treatment, and identification of any barriers to full 
implementation.

                      construction, major projects





Fiscal year 2009 enacted level........................      $923,382,000
Fiscal year 2010 budget request.......................     1,194,000,000
Committee recommendation in the bill..................     1,194,000,000
Comparison with:
    Fiscal year 2009 enacted level....................       270,618,000
    Fiscal year 2010 budget request...................             - - -


    The Construction, Major Projects appropriation provides for 
constructing, altering, extending, and improving any of the 
facilities under the jurisdiction or for the use of the 
Department of Veterans Affairs, including planning, 
architectural and engineering services, assessments, and site 
acquisition where the estimated cost of a project is 
$10,000,000 or more.
    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $1,194,000,000 
for Construction, Major Projects, an increase of $270,618,000 
above the fiscal year 2009 enacted level and the same as the 
budget request. The Committee has retained bill language 
incorporating the construction, major projects specified in 
this report into the text of the bill by reference.
    Construction Oversight.--The Committee is concerned about 
the rising cost of major medical facility construction projects 
as well as the prolonged time it takes to award contracts for 
design and construction. For example, the original estimate and 
authorization for the Orlando medical facility was $377,700,000 
while the current estimated cost is $665,400,000, an increase 
of 76 percent. And the Denver medical facility was originally 
estimated at $646,000,000 while the current estimate is 
$800,000,000, a growth of 24 percent in less than two years. 
While individual project costs skyrocket, the Department is 
woefully slow in obligating funds that have been appropriated. 
Between fiscal years 2005 and 2008 the Congress provided the 
Department with $4.4 billion for construction and the 
Department has only obligated $1.9 billion. Both the increases 
in individual project costs and the slow rates of obligation 
indicate that this is an area for urgent management attention. 
In order to improve oversight of these activities, the 
Committee directs the Department to report obligations for each 
project on a quarterly basis, with the first report to the 
Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress to be 
submitted no later than January 15, 2010 to reflect obligations 
incurred through December 31, 2009.
    The specific amounts recommended by the Committee are as 
follows:

    Fiscal year 2010 budget request...................       126,800,000


    The Construction, Minor Projects appropriation provides for 
constructing, altering, extending, and improving any of the 
facilities under the jurisdiction or for the use of the 
Department, including planning, assessment of needs, 
architectural and engineering services, and site acquisition, 
where the estimated cost of a project is less than $10,000,000.
    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $726,800,000 
for Construction, Minor Projects, a decrease of $14,734,000 
below the fiscal year 2009 enacted level and an increase of 
$126,800,000 above the budget request.
    The Committee recommendation includes $65,000,000 for the 
National Cemetery Administration, $16,907,000 for the Veterans 
Benefits Administration, $25,175,000 for General 
Administration--Staff offices, and $619,718,000 for Veterans 
Health Administration. The Committee directs the Department to 
provide an expenditure plan for the funding within 30 days of 
enactment of this Act.

       Grants for Construction of State Extended Care Facilities





Fiscal year 2009 enacted level\1\.....................      $175,000,000
Fiscal year 2010 budget request.......................        85,000,000
Committee recommendation in the bill..................        85,000,000
Comparison with:
    Fiscal year 2009 enacted level....................      (90,000,000)
    Fiscal year 2010 budget request...................             - - -

\1\Does not reflect American Recovery and Reinvestment Act emergency
  appropriation of $150,000,000.

    This program provides grants to assist States to construct 
State home facilities, for furnishing domiciliary or nursing 
home care to veterans, and to expand, remodel or alter existing 
buildings for furnishing domiciliary, nursing home or hospital 
care to veterans in State homes. A grant may not exceed 65 
percent of the total cost of the project.
    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $85,000,000 
for Grants for Construction of State Extended Care Facilities, 
a decrease of $90,000,000 below the fiscal year 2009 enacted 
level and the same as the budget request. The Committee notes 
that a number of States, which are responsible for matching a 
portion of the cost of the grants, have requested deferral of 
projects due to a lack of State funding. Until this situation 
improves, increasing allocations of funding to this account 
would not be the best use of resources.
    The Department is urged to examine the need for, and report 
on the feasibility of, a nursing home to care for veterans in 
Montgomery County, TN.

          Grants for Construction of State Veterans Cemeteries





Fiscal year 2009 enacted level........................       $42,000,000

    This program provides grants to assist States with the 
establishment, expansion, and improvement of State veterans 
cemeteries which are operated and permanently maintained by the 
States. Grants under this program fund up to 100 percent of 
construction costs and the initial equipment expenses when the 
cemetery is established. The States remain responsible for 
providing the land and for paying all costs related to the 
operation and maintenance of the State cemeteries, including 
the costs for subsequent equipment purchases.
    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $42,000,000 
for Grants for Construction of State Veterans Cemeteries, the 
same as the fiscal year 2009 enacted level and the same as the 
budget request.

                       Administrative Provisions

    The bill includes 22 provisions that were included in the

    Section 215 allows the Department to transfer Medical Care 
Collections to the ``Medical services'' appropriation to be 
used for veterans medical care.
    Section 216 allows veterans who reside in Alaska to obtain 
medical services from medical facilities supported by the 
Indian Health Services or tribal organizations, and provides 
for reimbursement for those services from the Department of 
Veterans Affairs.
    Section 217 allows the Department to transfer the proceeds 
received from the transfer of real property deposited into the 
Department of Veterans Affairs Capital Asset Fund (CAF) to the 
major and minor construction appropriations.
    Section 218 prohibits the expenditure of any funds 
available to the Department for implementation of a national 
standardized contract for diabetes monitoring systems. The 
Administration proposed to delete this provision.

Administration proposed to modify this provision.
    Section 222 requires the Department to notify and receive 
approval from the Committee of any proposed transfer of funding 
in excess of $1,000,000 between information technology system 
projects. The Administration proposed to modify this provision, 
including a threshold of $5,000,000 for such transfers.
    Section 223 amends section 1925 of title 38, United States 
Code to reflect the movement of information technology 
functions out of the ``General operating expenses'' account and 
into the ``Information technology systems'' account.
    Section 224 amends section 1922 of title 38, United States 
Code to reflect the movement of information technology 
functions out of the ``General operating expenses'' account and 
into the ``Information technology systems'' account.

    The American Battle Monuments Commission is responsible for 
the administration, operation and maintenance of cemetery and 
war memorials to commemorate the achievements and sacrifices of 
the American Armed Forces where they have served since April 6, 
1917. In performing these functions, the Commission maintains 
24 permanent American military cemetery memorials and 31 
monuments, memorials, markers, and offices in 15 foreign 
countries, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands,

memorials are located in the United States: the East Coast 
Memorial in New York; the West Coast Memorial, The Presidio in 
San Francisco; the Honolulu Memorial in the National Memorial 
Cemetery of the Pacific in Honolulu, Hawaii; and the American 
Expeditionary Forces Memorial, the World War II, and Korean War 
Veterans Memorials in Washington, DC.

Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims. The Court reviews appeals 
from claimants seeking review of a benefit denial. The Court 
has the authority to overturn findings of fact, regulations, 
and interpretations of law.

for the U.S. Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims, a decrease 
of $3,860,000 below the fiscal year 2009 enacted level and the

planning and design associated with future construction of a 
Veterans Courthouse and Justice Center. Continuation of this 
expense is not required, resulting in a decrease in

               CHAPTER 19 OF TITLE 38, UNITED STATES CODE

CHAPTER 19--INSURANCE

           *       *       *       *       *       *       *


SUBCHAPTER I--NATIONAL SERVICE LIFE INSURANCE

           *       *       *       *       *       *       *


Sec. 1922. Service disabled veterans' insurance

  (a) Any person who is released from active military, naval, 
or air service, under other than dishonorable conditions on or 
after April 25, 1951, and is found by the Secretary to be 
suffering from a disability or disabilities for which 
compensation would be payable if 10 per centum or more in 
degree and except for which such person would be insurable 
according to the standards of good health established by the 
Secretary, shall, upon application in writing made within two 
years from the date service-connection of such disability is 
determined by the Secretary and payment of premiums as provided 
in this subchapter, be granted insurance by the United States 
against the death of such person occurring while such insurance 
is in force. If such a person is shown by evidence satisfactory 
to the Secretary to have been mentally incompetent during any 
part of the two-year period, application for insurance under 
this section may be filed within two years after a guardian is 
appointed or within two years after the removal of such 
disability as determined by the Secretary, whichever is the 
earlier date. If the guardian was appointed or the removal of 
the disability occurred before January 1, 1959, application for 
insurance under this section may be made within two years after 
that date. Insurance granted under this section shall be issued 
upon the same terms and conditions as are contained in the 
standard policies of National Service Life Insurance except (1) 
the premium rates for such insurance shall be based on the 
Commissioners 1941 Standard Ordinary Table of Mortality and 
interest at the rate of 2 1/4 per centum per annum; (2) all 
cash, loan, paid-up, and extended values shall be based upon 
the Commissioners 1941 Standard Ordinary Table of Mortality and 
interest at the rate of 2 1/4 per centum per annum; (3) all 
settlements on policies involving annuities shall be calculated 
on the basis of The Annuity Table for 1949, and interest at the 
rate of 2 1/4 per centum per annum; (4) insurance granted under 
this section shall be on a nonparticipating basis and all 
premiums and other collections therefor shall be credited 
directly to a revolving fund in the Treasury of the United 
States, and any payments on such insurance shall be made 
directly from such fund; and (5) [administrative costs to the 
Government for the costs of] administrative support financed by 
the appropriations for ``General Operating Expenses, Department 
of Veterans Affairs'' and ``Information Technology Systems, 
Department of Veterans Affairs'' for the program of insurance 
under this section shall be paid from premiums credited to the 
fund under paragraph (4), and payments for claims against the 
fund under paragraph (4) for amounts in excess of amounts 
credited to such fund under that paragraph (after such 
administrative costs have been paid) shall be paid from 
appropriations to the fund. Appropriations to such fund are 
hereby authorized. As to insurance issued under this section, 
waiver of premiums pursuant to section 602(n) of the National 
Service Life Insurance Act of 1940 and section 1912 of this 
title shall not be denied on the ground that the service-
connected disability became total before the effective date of 
such insurance.

           *       *       *       *       *       *       *


Sec. 1925. Limited period for acquiring insurance

  (a) * * *

           *       *       *       *       *       *       *

  (d)(1) * * *

           *       *       *       *       *       *       *

  (3) Notwithstanding the provisions of section 1982 of this 
title, the Secretary shall, from time to time, determine the 
administrative costs to the Government which in the Secretary's 
judgment are properly allocable to insurance issued under this 
section and any total disability income provision attached 
thereto, and shall transfer from the revolving fund, the amount 
of such cost allocable to the Department to the [appropriation 
``General Operating Expenses, Department of Veterans Affairs''] 
appropriations for ``General Operating Expenses and Information 
Technology Systems, Department of Veterans Affairs'', and the 
remainder of such cost to the general fund receipts in the 
Treasury. The initial administrative costs of issuing insurance 
under this section and any total disability income provision 
attached thereto shall be so transferred over such period of 
time as the Secretary determines to be reasonable and 
practicable.

           *       *       *       *       *       *       *


                          FULL COMMITTEE VOTES

    Pursuant to the provisions of clause 3(b) of rule XIII of 
the House of Representatives, the results of each roll call 
vote on an amendment or on the motion to report, together with 
the names of those voting for and those voting against, are 
required to be included in the Committee report. No roll call 
votes were ordered on an amendment to, or the motion to report, 
this bill.

   DISCLOSURE OF EARMARKS AND CONGRESSIONALLY DIRECTED SPENDING ITEMS

    The following table is submitted in compliance with clause 
9 of rule XXI, and lists the congressional earmarks (as defined 
in paragraph (e) of clause 9) contained in the bill or in this 
report. Neither the bill nor the report contain any limited tax 
benefits or limited tariff benefits as defined in paragraphs 
(f) or (g) of clause 9 of rule XXI.
    This bill contains $852 million in grant funding awarded 
solely at the discretion of the Administration, and $13.6 
billion in funding requested by the President for specific 
projects. In addition to placing a one year moratorium on 
earmarks in appropriations bills enacted in 2007 so that new 
rules could be put in place, the Committee has subsequently 
taken unprecedented action to increase transparency. The 
military construction and family housing construction accounts 
in this bill are project-based accounts and as such are 
comprised of a specific list of projects each year. The 
accounts in this bill fund the construction requirements that 
support the operational and quality of life needs of our 
servicemembers and their families on the installations where 
they train and live. This year earmarked funding is expected to 
equal less than one percent of the cost of the bill. It should 
also be noted that under the policies adopted by the Committee 
the use of member earmarks awarded to for-profit entities as a 
functional equivalent of no bid contracts has ended. In cases 
where the Committee funds an earmark designated for a for-
profit entity, the Committee includes legislative language 
requiring the Executive Branch to nonetheless issue a request 
for proposal that gives other entities an opportunity to apply 
and requires the agency to evaluate all bids received and make 
a decision based on merit. This gives the original designee an 
opportunity to be brought to the attention of the agency, but 
with the possibility that an alternative entity may be 
selected.

               ADDITIONAL VIEWS OF MR. LEWIS AND MR. WAMP

    Funding in the Military Construction, Veterans Affairs and 
Related Agencies fiscal year 2010 appropriation bill totals 
$133.7 billion: $76.5 billion in discretionary spending and 
$55.8 billion in mandatory spending. The discretionary spending 
in this bill represents a 5 percent increase above fiscal year 
2009 while the mandatory spending in the bill is 19 percent 
higher than last year's level.
    The bill provides critical funding needed for military 
construction and family housing for our troops and their 
families and other quality of life construction projects, and 
provides funding for all of the programs that the Department of 
Veterans Affairs and the Related Agencies in this bill have 
asked for in the budget request, and more.
    The 302(b) allocation to this subcommittee of $76.5 billion 
is $240 million more than the budget request, and $3.6 billion 
above fiscal year 2009. Ranking Member Lewis offered a 
substitute 302(b) allocation at the full committee that would 
have prioritized funding increases for defense, military 
construction, and our veterans by providing a six percent 
increase for these programs, a 4 percent increase for homeland 
security, and holding all other subcommittees to very 
reasonable 2 percent increases. Unfortunately, the amendment 
was defeated.
    The programs and projects funded in the bill illustrate the 
commitment of this subcommittee to those who are serving and to 
those who have served. We commend the Chairman for the 
increased funding for critical requirements of the Army and Air 
Guard, and for the Reserve forces of the Army, Navy, Marine 
Corps and Air Force. The Guard and Reserve forces have been 
performing at a high operational tempo since September 2001, 
and this high activation rate is expected to continue.
    We are pleased that the BRAC 2005 program is fully funded 
at the President's request. We will work with the majority, 
under a fair and open process, to ensure that this funding is 
in place by the beginning of the fiscal year so that the 
Department of Defense can work towards meeting the statutory 
deadline of September 15, 2011 for this program.
    We remain concerned about the ability of the VA to 
effectively absorb large funding increases provided in this 
bill. With this bill, the overall spending level for VA, 
including the FY '09 enacted levels, will be about $205 
billion. Many of these accounts are available for a two-year 
period, and have significant unobligated balances that are not 
obligated until the second year. We may need to review these 
programs to see if it would be more efficient to determine the 
best way to fund them in the future.
    The Committee report itself is critical of the slow rate 
that the VA is spending many of these dollars. In the case of 
the multi-billion dollar major construction account for the VA, 
the report points out that the spending rate is ``woefully 
slow'' having only spent $1.9 billion out of $4.4 billion that 
was appropriated between fiscal year 2005 through fiscal year 
2008. When you add the spending amounts for fiscal year 2009 to 
the amounts in this bill, the amount available for this account 
grows to $6.5 billion.
    The bill contains $48.2 billion for advance appropriations 
for medical services, medical support and compliance, and 
medical facilities, which is $3.7 billion (8%) above the amount 
included for fiscal year 2010 in the bill. Candidate Obama and 
now President Obama said he supports advance appropriations, 
and Secretary Shinseki has said that he supports it as well. 
Working together with the majority, we were able to provide for 
advance appropriations for VA medical care in this bill. No one 
knows for sure if any unintended consequences exist with this 
proposal. The Chairman has given his assurances that we will 
conduct the necessary oversight to make certain that this 
mechanism, to ensure that our veterans have full access to 
their medical care needs regardless of where we stand in the 
annual appropriations process, is properly managed.
    While on the subject of advance appropriations, when 
Secretary Shinseki testified before the subcommittee, he said 
that he wanted to work with the Congress on this issue. We 
believe that it would have been more beneficial to the process 
had the Secretary communicated the Administration's advance 
appropriations proposal to both sides of the aisle 
simultaneously. It is our hope that this was simply an 
oversight and not the way that the Administration is going to 
handle communications on major issues with the Committee.
    The bill includes $3.307 billion for VA Information 
Technology (IT), which is an increase of $833 million above the 
fiscal year 2009 enacted level, or it is an increase of $559 
million above the fiscal year 2009 level when reprogramming 
action is taken into consideration. Regardless, we are talking 
about providing huge unchecked spending increases to the one 
account that the General Accounting Office and VA's Office of 
Inspector General have documented the VA's inability to 
effectively manage these resources.
    Secretary Shinseki testified that he is going to need IT to 
be a key part of his plan to transform the VA. With the 
documented red flags about this account, we could have done 
more to restrict access to a portion of this funding until the 
VA-OIG certifies that the Assistant Secretary has taken the 
necessary steps to put in place the governance boards to ensure 
that capital investments for IT are properly vetted.
    Not to put too fine a point on this, but just last week, 
less than three hours after the subcommittee markup on this 
bill, the staff participated in a briefing at the request of 
VA's Assistant Secretary for IT. The purpose of the briefing 
was to provide the Committee an update on a thorough analysis 
that the VA had undertaken to review their IT portfolio. The 
Assistant Secretary reported that there are a number of VA IT 
programs that are more than 13 months behind schedule and more 
than 50 percent over budget. We asked for the list of these 
projects along with the FY 09 and FY 10 costs for these 
projects. More than ten days have passed, and the VA has yet to 
provide that list.
    We also need to view this bill within the larger context of 
the Nation's rapidly escalating debt and inflationary 
pressures. We strongly support the Republican proposal to cap 
domestic discretionary spending at 2 percent above the 2009 
enacted level--the level proposed by Ranking Member Lewis as an 
alternative 302(b) allocation.
    According to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) the 
Obama Administration is on its way to doubling the national 
debt in 5 years. In so doing, it will drive the Debt-to-GDP 
ratio from 41% today to a staggering 71% in 2014. As the charts 
below show, by 2019 the Debt-to-GDP ratio will exceed 80%: 


    The United States Treasury is building a mountain of debt 
and the Federal Reserve has issued another mountain of dollars 
in its attempt to sustain the credit markets in recent months. 
The possibility of much higher inflation, which will reduce the 
value of the payments to the holders of the U.S. debt, is a 
very real threat, if not the single largest threat against the 
ability of the economy to recover.
    That rapid rise in debt is being fueled by unprecedented 
increases in the annual deficits. The deficits projected in the 
Obama Budget Blueprint, and adopted by the Democrats' 
Congressional Budget Resolution averages just shy of $1 
trillion (that is $1,000 billion!) annually for the next ten 
years--not including revenue shortfalls in Social Security, 
Medicare and Medicaid, which will add even greater amounts to 
the annual deficit. In addition, the Democrats' Budget 
Resolution--at the behest of the Administration and a harbinger 
of more to come--raises taxes by $1.5 trillion over the next 
ten years, effectively withdrawing those funds from private 
production in the economy as well.
    Before the recession, federal spending totaled $24,000 per 
U.S. household. President Obama and the budget resolution that 
incorporates that plan would hike it to $32,000 per household 
by 2019--for an inflation-adjusted $8,000-per-household 
expansion of government. Even the steep tax increases planned 
for all taxpayers would not finance all of this spending.
    Simply put, the President's budget and the budget 
resolution that adopted those spending levels would add 
trillions of dollars in new debt. In fact if enacted, the 
President's Budget Blueprint would, over time, dump an 
estimated $84,352 in new debt on our children and 
grandchildren.
    That debt can only be paid for by borrowing even more. 
However, the global demand for U.S. debt is not infinite and 
continued purchases of debt can only be induced by greater 
interest rates. We are already seeing that occur as treasury 
rates have soared recently in the face of government borrowing. 
Just recently mortgage rates have jumped from 4.8% to 5.8% 
wiping out billions in potential savings for homeowners. To 
protect credit and keep interest rates low, we must shrink the 
budget deficit in the near term and rein in entitlement 
spending, neither of which is occurring in this bill.
    As we conclude, we commend the majority for doing an 
excellent job of setting the funding levels in the bill. We 
also strongly believe that the total amounts of discretionary 
funds provided across the 12 appropriations bills could have 
been reduced by $35 billion had we kept domestic discretionary 
spending to a two percent increase above last year except for 
defense, military construction, homeland security and veterans.
