DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE APPROPRIATIONS BILL, 2010
_______
July 24, 2009.--Committed to the Committee of the Whole House on the
State of the Union and ordered to be printed
_______
Mr. Murtha of Pennsylvania, from the Committee on Appropriations,
submitted the following
R E P O R T
[To accompany H.R. 3326]
The Committee on Appropriations submits the following
report in explanation of the accompanying bill making
appropriations for the Department of Defense, and for other
purposes, for fiscal year ending September 30, 2010.
Bill Totals
Appropriations for most military functions of the
Department of Defense are provided for in the accompanying bill
for the fiscal year 2010. This bill does not provide
appropriations for military construction, military family
housing, civil defense, and military nuclear warheads, for
which requirements are considered in connection with other
appropriations Acts.
The President's fiscal year 2010 budget request for
activities funded in the Department of Defense Appropriations
Act totals $640,431,852,000 in new budget obligational
authority.
Committee Budget Review Process
During its review of the fiscal year 2010 budget request
and execution of appropriations for fiscal year 2009, the
Subcommittee on Defense and the Select Intelligence Oversight
Panel held a total of 29 hearings and 8 formal Subcommittee and
Panel briefings during the period of February 2009 to June
2009. Testimony received by the Subcommittee totaled 2,492
pages of transcript. Hearings were held in open session, except
when the security classification of the material to be
discussed presented no alternative but to conduct those
hearings in executive or closed session.
Select Intelligence Oversight Panel
House Resolution 35 established the Select Intelligence
Oversight Panel (Panel). The rule indicates that the Panel
shall review and study on a continuing basis, budget requests
for and execution of intelligence activities. In addition, the
Panel heard numerous briefings and updates from various
agencies and elements of the intelligence community and
Department of Defense.
The Panel prepared and transmitted a report to the Defense
Subcommittee on Appropriations for fiscal year 2010 budgetary
and oversight observations and recommendations for use in
preparation of the classified annex accompanying the Defense
Appropriations bill. The recommendations contained therein were
used by the Defense Subcommittee in developing the classified
annex accompanying this bill.
Introduction
Recognizing the commitment of United States personnel and
their families, the Committee is dedicated to providing and
maintaining the highest standards of readiness and quality of
life for service personnel and their families, and providing
the right quantities of equipment supported by a robust program
of research into future technologies to ensure that United
States military forces remain second to none. Accordingly, the
Committee recommends total funding in this bill of
$636,292,979,000 including $508,045,994,000 in base funding,
and $128,246,985,000 for Overseas Deployments and Other
Activities for the Department of Defense for fiscal year 2010.
The nation remains justifiably concerned about overseas
deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan. In this regard, and for
all the missions that the United States military perform, the
Committee and the country are deeply grateful for the service,
dedication, and sacrifices made by the nation's military
service members.
As in past years, a critical element of the Committee's
emphasis is found in military pay, military family issues and
military medical care. In the military personnel accounts, the
Committee provides $364,000,000 above the request for a pay
raise of 3.4 percent. For military families, the bill includes
$472,400,000 for Family Advocacy programs and fully funds
Family Support and the Yellow Ribbon program. In addition, the
bill adds $20,000,000 above the request for National Guard
Family Assistance and Reintegration Centers. Although the
Committee harbors some concerns about cost growth in the
Defense Health Program, the Committee firmly believes that full
funding of this program is critical to the support of service
members and their families. Accordingly, the Committee
recommends total funding of $29,891,109,000 for the Defense
Health Program, an increase of $1,987,946,000 above the
request.
Committee Initiatives
A major imperative of the Committee's funding
recommendations is to improve the efficiency with which
Department of Defense resources are expended. The Committee
believes that one of the best ways to support United States
forces is to improve the stability of acquisition programs and
increase quantities to field new equipment more rapidly. In
many cases, the procurement rates for new equipment are well
below what could reasonably be described as economic order
quantities. The practice of stretching out procurement
schedules not only delays fielding modernized weapons but is
costly as well. For example, in the case of the aerial
refueling tanker, annual maintenance costs are expected to
climb by $900,000,000, and Depot maintenance costs are expected
to increase by $780,000,000. In contrast, the lower cost per
flying hour for a new fleet of tankers will save taxpayers
$3,500,000 per aircraft per year. The Committee also notes that
the aerial refueling tankers are a crucial piece of our
nation's ability to deploy and operate anywhere in the world.
In addition, the Committee is aware that the Department of
Defense has consistently failed to provide funding to maintain
sufficient production within the Navy's shipbuilding program.
As a result, the total fleet of United States vessels has
shrunk well below the desired fleet size of 313. In this bill,
the Committee's recommendations provide funding for
construction of 10 ships for the first time since 1992 in order
to maintain a 300 ship fleet.
The Committee also seeks to reverse a recent and increasing
trend to curtail the development of systems before such efforts
realize any benefit to the taxpayer. The Committee strongly
supports realistic budgeting that matches available funding to
overall programs. Indeed, many of the program terminations
proposed in the fiscal year 2010 budget request are supported
in this bill. Nevertheless, the Committee is concerned that the
proposal to terminate some programs is premature, and believes
that continuing certain efforts may yield significant payback.
The Committee believes that this is clearly the case for the
presidential helicopter, wherein five aircraft have been
purchased that could be pressed into service. Similarly, in the
Committee's view, there is potential for significant payback
associated with the Joint Strike Fighter alternative engine and
certain missile defense activities provided in this
recommendation.
Overseas Contingencies
The Committee notes that among the most significant
challenges facing the Department of Defense are those in Iraq
and Afghanistan and the transition now underway between those
operations. In Iraq, the United States is beginning the process
of redeployment. As of June 30, 2009, United States troops have
withdrawn from major towns and cities. Between now and August
31, 2010, the U.S. military presence in Iraq will be reduced to
a ``transitional force'' of roughly six Brigade Combat Teams, a
force estimated to include between 35,000 and 50,000 troops.
This level is a significant reduction compared to the 18
Brigade Combat Teams in Iraq as of February 2009.
On 28 March 2009, the President announced a new United
States strategy for Afghanistan aimed at ``disrupting,
destroying, dismantling and defeating'' al Qaeda. A major part
of this effort includes an increase of United States force
levels in Afghanistan. Overall, United States force levels are
expected to grow to approximately 67,000 by September 2009. In
addition, a major piece of the United States approach is to
help train the Afghanistan National Security Force, including
the Afghan National Army, Afghan National Police, the Afghan
National Civil Order Police, and the Afghan Border Police. The
new strategy calls for accelerating the growth of the Afghan
National Army from the current force of 86,000 to 134,000 by
December 2011, and for training and reforming over 29,000
members of the Afghan National Police in 2009. To support this
effort, the Overseas Deployment section of the bill provides
$7,462,769,000 for the Afghan Security Forces Fund.
In general, the Committee has provided full support for
overseas deployment activities by including $128,246,985,000
for Overseas Deployments and Other Activities (title IX of this
bill). Within this figure, the Committee has provided for the
military personnel, operation and maintenance, and acquisition
costs required to conduct these operations.
The Committee is also aware that the Department of Defense
embarked on an initiative to grow the force in both the Army
and Marine Corps, and the Committee has supported increased
personnel funding. In part to support this growth, funding in
the military personnel title of the bill has increased by
nearly $20 billion over the past two years.
The Committee is also aware of significant changes within
the Services' training and readiness programs. Indeed, the
Secretary of Defense earlier this year indicated that the
Department of Defense would undergo a significant change in its
training programs because of the need to emphasize
counterinsurgency training. Although these changes are early in
their implementation, the Committee has supported a rebalanced
training program as described elsewhere in this report.
Oversight Issues
The Secretary of Defense has stated that the Department of
Defense must set priorities and consider tradeoffs and
opportunity costs to attain a higher level of military
readiness. However, the budget request avoided some of these
tough choices. The Committee recommends that the 2011 budget be
supported with a program plan and that the Quadrennial Defense
Review seek to clearly establish priorities. The Committee
expects the Department of Defense to only budget for its
highest priority needs. Finally, the Committee recommends that
the Secretary of Defense institute a process for assessing and
prioritizing requirements and allocating resources which is
supportive of thorough, deliberative program and budget
reviews.
The Committee is disappointed that the Department of the
Army is the only Service which complied with the law requiring
the Department of Defense to provide an annual inventory of
contracted services. A general provision is included in the
bill which reduces Operation and Maintenance funding by
$550,000,000 and the Committee expects all of the components of
the Department of Defense to comply with this direction.
The Department of Defense is to be commended for the
positive and decisive steps taken to in-source inherently
governmental functions. The steps are consistent with the
Committee's direction to the Department over the past three
years which will strengthen oversight, end unnecessary no-bid
and cost-plus contracts, maximize the use of competitive
procurement processes, and clarify rules prescribing when
outsourcing is and is not appropriate.
Common Access Cards allow personnel access to Department of
Defense installations, resources, and sensitive information.
The Committee is deeply concerned to learn of the potential
dangers to force protection of troops and their families who
live on Department of Defense bases due to a lack of control of
these Common Access Cards and the Committee directs reporting
requirements elsewhere in this report.
In the Military Personnel section of this report the
Committee directs the Government Accountability Office and the
Department of the Army to review allegations of possible
Antideficiency Act violations and to report to the Committee
any actions that were taken to resolve associated financial
management issues.
In the area of intelligence, the Committee reduces the size
of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and
shifts a portion of that funding to the Central Intelligence
Agency. This transfer of funding is made to ensure that the
Director of National Intelligence focuses on coordination and
fiscal management while the intelligence agencies, like the
Central Intelligence Agency and others, focus on operational
activities. The Committee also supports the Cybersecurity
efforts requested by the Administration, but reduces some of
the increased growth to a manageable level.
In the Overseas Deployments and Other Activities portions
of the bill, the Committee transfers $14,636,901,000 of
requested Operation and Maintenance funding into an Overseas
Contingency Operations Transfer Fund (OCOTF), which recognizes
the highly variable nature of both the costs to rebalance
United States forces between Iraq and Afghanistan. The OCOTF
will significantly enhance the Department of Defense's
flexibility to transfer funds to the needed appropriation
account once costs are known. The bill includes language which
adds protections so that these funds can only be used after the
congressional defense committees have the opportunity to review
and approve any uses of these funds.
The Committee understands the value of the Commander's
Emergency Response Program (CERP), but has been concerned for
several years about the growth and management of this program.
The Committee has provided $1,300,000,000 for CERP, which is
the full amount authorized by the House-passed fiscal year 2010
National Defense Authorization bill and is $200,000,000 below
the administration's request. Of the funds provided for CERP,
the Committee bill withholds $500,000,000 pending completion of
a thorough review of CERP and submission of a report to the
congressional defense committees. The required report is
described in detail in title IX of this report.
The bill includes many reductions to operations and
maintenance, procurement, and research and development
programs. The Committee made reductions to some programs
because they were funded in the recently passed Supplemental
Appropriations Act, 2009. Some programs were reduced because
assumptions, such as fuel prices, have changed since the budget
request was finalized. The Committee also reduced funding to
some programs because their schedules have been delayed or new
programmatic decisions have been made by the Department of
Defense.
The Constitution states that ``No money shall be drawn from
the treasury, but in consequence of appropriations made by
law,'' and this bill carries out that most important
Congressional duty. The Committee conducted months of oversight
hearings, briefings and detailed inquires. These led directly
to the recommendations contained in this bill and report. In
some cases, the Committee has reduced funding, set limitations
on the use of funding, required reports from the Executive
Branch, and in some instances, the Committee has increased
funding for programs which will improve America's national
security.
Terminations, Reductions and Other Savings
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 terminations, reductions and other savings from the
fiscal year 2009 level totaling over $50,000,000,000. In
addition, approximately $15,000,000,000 in other program
terminations, reductions and other savings 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.
Administrative Fees
The Committee is concerned with the varying percentages,
retained by the Department for administrative fees from
contracts for the procurement of goods or services. While the
Committee understands the need to retain these funds, it
expects the process to be implemented in a standardized and
universal fashion. Therefore, the Committee directs that for
contracts in the amount greater than the simplified acquisition
threshold, the Secretary of Defense may not retain more than
five percent of the funds appropriated for administrative fees,
except if the service acquisition executive concerned approves
the retention of more than five percent. Such exemptions shall
be reported to the Committees on Appropriations of the House of
Representatives and the Senate no later than 30 days after such
withhold.
Department of the Army Antideficiency Act Violations
The Committee remains concerned about a potential
Antideficiency Act (ADA) violation in the fiscal year 2008
Military Personnel, Army (MPA) account. In particular, the
Committee believes that reprogramming request fiscal year 09-05
for the MPA account which was submitted after the account had
closed may represent a violation of the ADA. Accordingly, the
Committee directs the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to
determine whether the Army violated the ADA in its fiscal year
2008 MPA account. The GAO should determine whether: (1) the
Army had sufficient funds in the account at all times to cover
special pay and bonuses for which it had committed to pay; and
(2) whether the Army's process for estimating the cost of
Permanent Change of Station (PCS) moves and the process for
recording obligations for PCS moves in fiscal year 2008
satisfied the documentation requirements in the GAO's Policy
and Procedures Manual for Guidance of Federal Agencies, and
provided a reasonable basis for estimating PCS payments.
The Committee is also concerned that the Army does not
follow Department of Defense regulations for conducting ADA
investigations, particularly for initiating a Preliminary
Review to serve as an initial screen to determine whether a
formal investigation is warranted. The Committee is aware of
several instances in which the Army conducted informal reviews,
with the tacit concurrence of the Office of the Secretary of
Defense General Counsel's office, to determine whether a
Preliminary Review was warranted. It appears to the Committee
that the Army has substituted an informal process, one that
generates no written documentation, for the formal process
required by Department of Defense regulations of a Preliminary
Review. Therefore, the Committee directs the Secretary of the
Army to submit a report of the Army's compliance with the
Department's ADA regulations, mainly with regard to
substituting informal reviews for more rigorous requirements of
a Preliminary Review. The Secretary's report should review all
allegations of possible ADA violations over the last five
years, and the actions, if any, taken to resolve the
allegation. The report shall be provided to the Committees on
Appropriations of the House of Representatives and the Senate
within 120 days of enactment of this Act.

Committee Recommendations By Major Category
MILITARY PERSONNEL
In title I of the bill, the Committee recommends a total of
$122,378,016,000 for active, Reserve and National Guard
military personnel, a decrease of $2,886,926,000 below the
budget request, and an increase of $7,934,126,000 above the
fiscal year 2009 enacted level. The Committee has provided
$364,000,000 above the request to increase basic pay for all
military personnel by 3.4 percent, effective January 1, 2010.
This represents an increase of 0.5 percent over the President's
request. The Committee also recommends full funding to support
the requested end strength levels for active duty and Selected
Reserve personnel. As part of its continuing effort to end the
practice of ``stop loss'', the Committee recommends an
additional $8,300,000 in a legislative provision to compensate
the last group of military personnel who will be subject to
this practice, which the Department has pledged to end in
fiscal year 2010.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
In title II of the bill, the Committee recommends a total
of $154,176,741,000 for operation and maintenance support to
the military services and other Department of Defense entities,
a decrease of $2,267,463,000 from the fiscal year 2010 budget
request, and an increase of $1,227,036,000 above the amount
appropriated for fiscal year 2009. The Committee's
recommendation includes increases in funding for operational
training and peacetime operations in fiscal year 2010 over the
level enacted in fiscal year 2009. The recommended levels will
robustly fund operational training programs in fiscal year
2010. Requests for unit and depot level maintenance; facility
sustainment, restoration and maintenance; and base operations
support program funding have been fully supported. The
Committee has also provided additional funds for full spectrum
readiness training, more irregular warfare training, and family
advocacy programs. The Committee also adjusts funding for
contracted services and insourcing in fiscal year 2010.

Forces To Be Supported
DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY
The fiscal year 2010 budget request is designed to support
the Army's continuing transformation of its Operating Forces to
a modular design. Completing modular transformation is
indicative of a unit's completion of initial reorganization and
re-equipping to a modular design and is not an indicator of
readiness (fully manned, trained, or equipped) or availability
for deployment. Units are currently manned and equipped in
accordance with the Army Force Generation Model which
prioritizes personnel fill and equipment fielding in a resource
constrained environment to ensure deploying units have all
equipment required to accomplish their assigned missions.
By the end of fiscal year 2010, the Active Component
Modular Force will include five Army Service Component Command
headquarters and one Army Component headquarters assigned to
U.S. Africa Command, two Corps headquarters, nine Division
headquarters, 42 Brigade Combat Teams and 36 Multi-Functional
Support Brigades. Additionally, the Active Component will have
begun modular transformation of one more Brigade Combat Team.
Active Component structure yet to be transformed to a modular
design includes one Corps headquarters, one Division
headquarters, three Brigade Combat Teams and four multi-
functional Support Brigades. By the end of fiscal year 2010,
the Army Modular Force structure in the Army National Guard and
the U.S. Army Reserve will include eight Army National Guard
division headquarters, 7 Brigade Combat Teams, and 56 multi-
functional Support Brigades (44 Army National Guard and 12 Army
Reserve). Additionally, the Army National Guard will have
continued the conversion of 21 Brigade Combat Teams, completing
transformation of the second set of seven Brigade Combat Teams
in fiscal year 2010. Reserve Component forces yet to be
transformed include only the final four Army National Guard
multi-functional support brigades. These forces are the key
elements of the minimum capabilities needed to execute the
National Military Strategy and to meet enduring defense needs
of the Global Force Demand. By fiscal year 2013, the Army
Modular forces will include five Army Service Component Command
headquarters, one Army Component headquarters assigned to U.S.
Africa Command in the Active Component, three Corps
headquarters, eighteen Division headquarters (ten Active
Component and eight Army National Guard), 73 Brigade Combat
Teams (45 Active Component and 28 Army National Guard) and 100
multi-functional Support Brigades (40 Active Component, 48 Army
National Guard, and 12 U.S. Army Reserve).

TITLE I
MILITARY PERSONNEL
The fiscal year 2010 budget request for programs funded in
title I of the Committee bill, Military Personnel, is
$125,264,942,000 in new budget authority. These appropriations
finance basic, incentive and special pays for active duty,
Reserve and National Guard personnel, and Academy cadets;
retired pay accrual; housing, subsistence and other allowances;
recruitment and retention initiatives, permanent change of
station costs; and other military personnel costs such as
survivor, unemployment, and education benefits. The table below
summarizes the budget estimates and Committee's
recommendations.
MILITARY PERSONNEL OVERVIEW
The Committee recommendation provides $122,378,016,000 for
Military Personnel accounts and continues to increase funding
for military pay and allowances, recruitment and retention
initiatives, and overall quality of life programs for active
duty, Reserve and National Guard personnel. The budget request
proposes to increase basic pay for all personnel by 2.9
percent. The Committee recommendation provides approximately
$364,321,000 above the request, to increase basic pay for all
military personnel by 3.4 percent, effective January 1, 2010.
This recommendation also fully supports the resource
requirements needed to maintain the requested end strength
levels for fiscal year 2010. While the Committee is concerned
about the continued significant growth of Military Personnel
costs for all the Services, the Committee continues to be
supportive of any programs intended to enhance the morale and
quality of life for our military personnel and their families.
SUMMARY OF END STRENGTH
The fiscal year 2010 budget request includes a decrease of
2,731 in total end strength for the active forces and an
increase of 844 in end strength for the selected reserve above
the fiscal year 2009 authorized levels. The following tables
summarize the Committee recommendations for end strength
levels, both in the aggregate and for each active and Selected
Reserve component. Explanations of changes from the budget
request appear later in this section.

FULL-TIME SUPPORT STRENGTHS
There are four categories of full-time support in the Guard
and Reserve components: civilian technicians, Active Guard and
Reserve (AGR), non-technician civilians, and active component
personnel.
Full-time support personnel organize, recruit, train,
maintain and administer the Reserve components. Civilian
(Military) technicians directly support units, and help units
maintain readiness and meet the wartime mission of the
services.
The following table summarizes Guard and Reserve full-time
support end strengths:

CASH INCENTIVES
The Committee is concerned with the recruiting and
retention cash incentives used by the Department of Defense.
The Committee believes the Department has initiated programs
that rely solely on cash incentives when enlisting new recruits
and retaining current personnel. While these cash incentives
have enhanced recruiting and retention efforts and helped the
Military Services meet their end strength goals, the Committee
is extremely concerned about the growth in both the number and
size of these cash incentives. The Committee believes that the
Military Services have increased both the size and scope of
these cash incentives without the benefit of any performance
metrics and without considering the effect of other increases
in compensation. Accordingly, the Committee directs the
Secretary of Defense to provide a report to the congressional
defense committees that describes these cash incentives.
Specifically, the report should include the number of cash
incentives used for recruiting and retention, the average
amount provided for each Military Occupational Specialty (MOS),
and the length of contract when these incentive options are
accepted by recruits and those reenlisting. This report shall
be submitted not later than February 1, 2010. If this report is
not submitted to the congressional defense committees by
February 1, 2010, the Secretary of Defense shall, not later
than the 5th day of each month following the due date, provide
updates as to the status of this report until it is submitted
to Congress.
BOOTS-ON-THE-GROUND AND COST OF WAR REPORTING
The Committee believes there is a continuing need for
accurate and timely information on actual/estimated costs and
deployment numbers associated with Operations Iraqi Freedom and
Enduring Freedom (OIF/OEF). Therefore, not later than the 10th
day of each month following the enactment of this Act, the
Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to submit to the
congressional defense committees:
(1) a ``Boots-on-the-Ground'' report providing, for the
most recent month for which data is available, the total number
of troops deployed in support of OIF and OEF, delineated by
service and component (active, Reserve, or National Guard); and
a monthly estimate for the three-month period following the
date such report is submitted, which provides an estimate of
the total number of troops expected to be deployed in support
of OIF and OEF, further delineated by service and component
(active, Reserve, or National Guard). This report may be
submitted in classified form; and
(2) a monthly report of funds obligated in support of OIF
and OEF covering the most recent period for which data are
available, by month and fiscal year. This report shall be
delineated and summarized by operation, by military service,
component (active, Reserve, or National Guard), and by
appropriations account.
INTERNAL BUDGETING CONTROLS FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY
The Committee is dismayed that the Department of the Army
continues to struggle with obligations and expenditures of
incentive pays, bonuses, subsistence-in-kind and permanent
change of station (PCS) moves. The Committee believes that the
Army lacks effective management processes and financial
controls to ensure an accurate level of funding is requested
and available to meet its commitments. Furthermore, the
Committee is concerned that there is poor communication between
those responsible for personnel policy decisions and those
responsible for ensuring sufficient funding is available to
cover the ultimate cost of these decisions. The Committee
believes that the Army's senior management is not conducting
sound financial management of the Army personnel accounts,
which has resulted in inaccurate budget estimates. The
Committee believes that if this situation continues, the Army
will be unable to accurately forecast costs and will continue
to face significant shortfalls during the year of execution.
Accordingly, the Committee recommends that the Department of
the Army use the Department of the Navy's approach to managing
the military personnel budget. For example, the Navy places
significant reliance on communication between the Navy Budget
Office and program managers. The Navy's budget and program
management officials discuss funding and management issues each
month and a scheduled mid-year review is reported to the Navy's
senior leadership which allows for refining estimates and
phased planning, and a proactive financial control mechanism.
Furthermore, the Committee understands that the Deputy Chief of
Naval Operations for Total Force has staff from the Navy Budget
Office embedded in its organization and a memorandum from the
Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Financial Management,
stating no personnel policy changes will be considered without
concurrence from the Budget Office.
ACCURACY OF OBLIGATIONS
The Committee recommends a reduction of $1,410,901,000 to
the military personnel budget request, based on the Government
Accountability Office analysis of prior year unexpended
military personnel account balances. The Services' accounting
data continue to show a pattern of underexecution of
appropriated funds, and therefore, the Committee believes the
military personnel budget requests for fiscal year 2010 are
overstated and can be reduced.

TITLE II
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
The fiscal year 2010 budget request for programs funded in
title II of the Committee bill, Operation and Maintenance, is
$156,444,204,000 in new budget authority. These appropriations
finance the costs of operating and maintaining the Armed
Forces, including the Reserve Components and related support
activities of the Department of Defense. Included is pay for
civilians, services for maintenance of equipment, fuel,
supplies, and spare parts for weapons and equipment. Financial
requirements are influenced by many factors, including force
levels such as the number of aircraft squadrons, Army and
Marine Corps divisions, installations, military personnel
strength and deployments, rates of operational activity, and
the quantity, complexity and age of equipment such as aircraft,
ships, missiles and tanks.
The table below summarizes the budget estimates and the
Committee's recommendations.
INVENTORY OF CONTRACT SERVICES
The amounts appropriated for Active Forces Operation and
Maintenance to the Departments of the Navy and the Air Force,
and the Defense Components in title II of this Act have been
reduced by $550,000,000 in a general provision from the amount
requested. This reduction is directly attributed to the
negligence of the Departments of the Navy and the Air Force,
and the Defense Components to comply with the requirement of 10
U.S.C. 2330, Section 807 of the 2008 National Defense
Authorization Act, codified in 10 U.S.C. 2330a that requires
the Secretary of Defense to submit to Congress (and make
available to the public) an annual inventory of activities
performed pursuant to contracts for services for or on behalf
of the Department of Defense; and the Secretary of the military
department or agency head responsible for activities in the
inventory to conduct certain review and planning on the basis
of the inventories. The Department of the Army is the only
defense component which has complied with the law. The
Committee strongly recommends that the Departments of the Navy
and the Air Force, and the Defense Components comply with the
requirement of 10 U.S.C. 2330a as quickly as possible.
COMMON ACCESS CARDS
Common Access Cards (CAC) permit card holding personnel
access to Department of Defense installations, resources, and
sensitive information. During a February 2009 Defense
Subcommittee hearing on outsourcing, the Department of Defense
(DoD) Inspector General (IG) testified that:
The Department had outsourced the inherently
governmental function of vetting personnel to receive
the cards;
Contractors performing this function issued
cards to other contractors; and
Nearly 212,000 contractors had email
addresses that misclassified them as U.S. Government
personnel, creating a potential security risk.
The Committee directs the Secretary of Defense and the
Secretary of the Army to reconsider the practice of contracting
out the task of issuing Common Access Cards and take immediate
steps to improve access control to Department of Defense
facilities around the world. Additionally, the Committee
directs that within 90 days of enactment of this Act the
Secretary of Defense submit a report to the congressional
defense committees and to the Department of Defense Inspector
General that outlines the actions taken and planned regarding
insourcing efforts for the vetting and issuing of the Common
Access Card and improvement of access control to facilities.
ADVISORY AND ASSISTANCE SERVICES GROWTH
The Committee was pleased to note that the Administration
recently announced a government-wide reform of contracting
which is consistent with the Committee's recent direction to
the Department of Defense. The Administration plans to
strengthen oversight, end unnecessary no-bid and cost-plus
contracts, maximize the use of competitive procurement
processes, and clarify rules that dictate when outsourcing is
or is not appropriate. The Department's budget request largely
reflects these initiatives. However, the request was not clear
regarding the adjustments in the budget for contract services
and civilian personnel pay because it did not display object
class information by appropriation account. This information
was absent from the Department's fiscal year 2010 budget.
Following the submission of a special detailed data set, the
Committee confirmed that the Department's budget request did
reflect insourcing. The Committee directs that the budget
request and the Appendix to the Budget of the U.S. government
for fiscal year 2011 and thereafter contain the object class
detail by appropriation account to sufficiently describe the
budget request.
The Committee found that the Advisory and Assistance
Services line of the Operation and Maintenance, Army,
appropriation grows by $50,900,000 from fiscal year 2009 to
fiscal year 2010. The Committee finds that this growth is
inconsistent with the insourcing goals and adjusts the budget
accordingly.
ARMY EXPERIENCE CENTER AND VIRTUAL ARMY EXPERIENCE
The Army's national advertising campaign generates about
8,000 of the approximately 80,000 contracts required annually
to maintain end strength. In fiscal year 2009 this came at a
cost of $282,100,000. Recognizing that the payback for the
investment made is relatively limited, the Army is seeking
alternative means to boost recruiting results given limited
resources. The Army Experience Center (AEC) and the Virtual
Army Experience (VAE) are both elements of this effort, and
have been part of the Army's recruiting and advertising
campaign over the past 10 months.
In addition to the potential efficiencies of the AEC and
VAE, a significant part of the Army's rationale for initiating
these centers is to overcome the difficulty in accessing and
recruiting in urban population centers that historically
present challenges to recruiters. The Committee recognizes the
value of the AEC as both a recruiting station and as community
center. However, the Committee has concerns about the both
range and age-appropriateness of certain materials available at
the AEC and VAE, and about the extent to which the Army
appropriately handles information collected at these centers
particularly with respect to individuals who are under
recruiting age.
Accordingly, the Committee directs the Army to evaluate and
report to the congressional defense committees within 180 days
of enactment of this Act on the expected gains to be realized
from the AEC and VAE. This should include, but not be limited
to, the expected contribution to accessions of the AEC and VAE
and the cost benefit compared to traditional recruiting and
advertising campaigns. This report shall also provide
information on safeguards to ensure that both AEC and VAE
programs and activities comply with applicable law and policies
in the handling of information from individuals below
recruiting age.
COMBAT AIR FORCE RESTRUCTURE
The Committee is concerned with the lack of detail and
analysis provided to the Congress regarding the Air Force's
Combat Air Force restructure plan that would retire 248 legacy
F-15, F-16 and A-10 aircraft. Many of these same concerns
regarding the proposed restructuring plan were expressed by the
House-passed version of the fiscal year 2010 National Defense
Authorization Act. The Committee directs that the reports
stipulated in the House-passed version of the Fiscal Year 2010
Defense Authorization Act also be transmitted to the Defense
Appropriations Committees. Particularly given these outstanding
reports and the expected publication of the Quadrennial Defense
Review in the coming year, the Committee is concerned that full
implementation of the restructure may be premature.
Additionally, the Committee is concerned with the personnel
costs and potential acquisition costs associated with the Air
Force proposal to remove the training of F-15 pilots and
related personnel from Tyndall Air Force Base. The Committee
directs the Department to provide a cost benefit analysis of
this proposal regarding Tyndall Air Force Base and Kingsley
Field in Klamath Falls, Oregon no later than 180 days after
enactment of this Act. The report shall include an analysis of
factors impacting F-15 training quantity and quality at each
location, to include training synergies, airspace access and
availability. The report shall identify and explain the
justification for where F-15 Basic Crew Chief Training, Air
Control Squadron Training and Intelligence Formal Training will
be established and maintained. The report shall include
analysis on simulator and ancillary training access, expected
effect on the quality and experience of the instructor base,
future military construction requirements and special
considerations and costs required due to the differing training
environments and climatology at each base.
Moreover, the Committee requests that the Department
identify airfields that share runways for both Air Force and
commercial operations within the continental United States. The
Committee requests that the Department include air force policy
on and analysis of the training and operational mission impacts
at bases with shared runways.
Additionally, the Committee directs an independent review
by a Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC)
on the impact of the restructure on the Nation's combat air
forces.
The Committee directs the Secretary of the Air Force to
provide the described reports no sooner than 180 days after
enactment of this Act. The Committee further directs that no
funds may be obligated on executing the Combat Air Force
restructure until 180 days after submission to the
congressional defense committees of all directed reports.
HISTORICAL BUDGET EXECUTION
The Government Accountability Office's analysis of
historical budget execution trends shows consistent
underobligation of funds in various subactivity groups in the
operation and maintenance accounts. The accuracy of the
analysis was confirmed with Department of Defense officials.
Therefore, the Committee recommendation adjusts the budget
request to be consistent with historical budget execution
levels.
PEACETIME OPTEMPO
The Navy budget request includes an additional 23,000 F-18
flying hours in fiscal year 2010 beyond that planned in fiscal
year 2009. The Air Force budget request includes an additional
396,235 active forces flying hours in fiscal year 2010 beyond
that planned in fiscal year 2009. The Committee finds that
given the expected continued wartime deployments, significant
increases to peacetime operations are not realistically
achievable. The Committee therefore has scaled back the growth
to the OPTEMPO accounts.
READINESS
The Secretary of Defense has stated publically that the
United States should not seek to eliminate national security
risks through larger defense budgets, but rather that the
Department of Defense must set priorities and consider
tradeoffs and opportunity costs. However, it is not clear that
this guidance has been followed in the Services' operation and
maintenance requests, especially their requests for training
resources. The Committee, therefore, recommends that the
operation and maintenance budgets be rebalanced to support the
highest priority readiness requirements that the Services
currently face, rather than preparing for Cold War-era types of
conflicts. Additionally, on December 1, 2008, the Deputy
Secretary of Defense issued guidance elevating the importance
of irregular warfare making it as strategically important as
traditional warfare. The policy requires that the Department
integrate irregular warfare concepts and capabilities into
doctrine, organization, training, material, leadership,
personnel and facilities. But this integration has not
completely occurred. It appears that the Department has focused
on scaling back traditional weapons systems such as the F-22
aircraft and DDG-1000 ship class, but has not addressed the air
operations and underway training requirements changes
associated with a focus on irregular warfare. In addition, the
fiscal year 2010 budget request does not appear to be based on
planning or programming. Two years ago, the Committee directed
the Department to take sequential steps to plan adequately and
then refine this plan into program and then budget-level
detail. But the Department has yet to define or articulate a
program for fiscal year 2011 or the future years. The Committee
is concerned that the Quadrennial Defense Review may not result
in a plan in time to shape the fiscal year 2011 budget request.
Therefore, the Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to
ensure that doctrine, organization, training, material,
leadership, personnel and facilities are properly updated in
accordance with the December 2008 guidance, and further directs
that the fiscal year 2011 budget request be supported with a
future years' program plan. Finally, the Committee recommends
that the Secretary of Defense institute a process for assessing
and prioritizing requirements and allocating resources which is
supportive of thorough, deliberative program and budget review.
MILITARY TIRES
Following the direction in the Base Realignment and Closure
Act of 2005, the Department of Defense implemented the Tire
Commodity Management Privatization Initiative. This program,
along with a previous Navy aircraft tire procurement contract,
moved the supply, storage and distribution for all tires used
by the Department from the Defense Logistics Agency to a single
prime contractor. This contractor is in charge of procuring and
distributing all military ground vehicle and aircraft tires
throughout the world for the entire Department.
The Committee is pleased that the Department has
dramatically reduced the cost and streamlined the process of
delivering tires to the warfighter. However, the Committee
believes that the Department must administer these contracts in
a manner that maintains the U.S. industrial base for military
tire manufacturing and future innovation as well as preserves
competitive procurement for current and future tire
requirements. The Committee also believes that having a single
prime contractor who is also a tire manufacturer managing the
program could result in a conflict of interest and place this
contractor in an advantageous position with respect to
competing for tire contracts.
The Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to award new
military ground vehicle and aircraft tire management contracts
when the base period of the current contracts expire. The new
contracts, to include Navy aircraft tire contracts, will
prohibit any tire manufacturer from acting as prime contractor
for the management of the contract. Additionally, it shall
require that there be an ongoing and transparent competition
among qualified tire providers on a level playing field to
ensure that the government gets the benefit of true price
competition.
LIGHT ATTACK AIRCRAFT DEMONSTRATION
The Committee is aware that the Navy and Air Force are
currently negotiating a Memorandum of Agreement to jointly
conduct a demonstration program designed to provide information
on the benefits of a light attack aircraft to the warfighter.
The Committee understands that the Navy and Air Force
anticipate reprogramming fiscal year 2010 funding for this
purpose. The Committee contends that the Air Force program will
constitute a new start and as such the Air Force and Navy are
directed to use the prior approval reprogramming procedures for
the new start notification and the source of funding.
Additionally, the Committee is aware that the Navy and Air
Force are planning to lease aircraft for use in the
demonstration program. The Committee encourages the Department
of Defense to conduct a full and open competition for the lease
of the aircraft.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE REPROGRAMMINGS
The Committee continues to require the Department of
Defense to submit the DD 1414, Base for Reprogramming Actions,
for each of the fiscal year 2010 appropriation accounts within
60 days after the enactment of this Act. This provision
prohibits the Department from executing any reprogramming or
transfer of funds for any purpose other than originally
appropriated until the aforementioned report is submitted to
the Committees on Appropriations of the House of
Representatives and the Senate.
The Committee directs that proposed transfers of funds
between O-1 budget activities in excess of $15,000,000 be
subject to the normal prior approval reprogramming procedures.
The Committee believes that such revisions are necessary given
the unique nature of activities funded within the operation and
maintenance appropriation; continuing concerns about force
readiness, and recent budget execution within these accounts.
Further, the Committee directs:
(1) with respect to service operation and maintenance
accounts, that the Department shall submit prior approval
reprogramming requests to the congressional defense committees
for proposed transfers of funds in excess of $15,000,000, to or
from the levels specified for budget activities. In addition,
the Department should follow prior approval reprogramming
procedure for transfers in excess of $15,000,000 out of the
following budget subactivities:
Army:
Maneuver units
Modular support brigades
Land forces operations support
Force readiness operations support
Land forces depot maintenance
Base operations support
Facilities Sustainment, Restoration and Modernization
Navy:
Aircraft depot maintenance
Ship depot maintenance
Facilities Sustainment, Restoration and Modernization
Marine Corps:
Depot maintenance
Facilities Sustainment, Restoration and Modernization
Air Force:
Primary combat forces
Combat enhancement forces
Combat communications
(2) with respect to the Operation and Maintenance, Defense-
Wide account, that proposed transfers of funds to or from the
levels specified for programs, projects or activities in excess
of $10,000,000 or 20 percent, whichever is less, shall be
subject to prior approval reprogramming procedures. For
purposes of this account, a program, project or activity shall
mean any item for which a dollar amount is contained in an
appropriations Act (including joint resolutions providing
continuing appropriations), accompanying reports of the House
of Representatives and Senate Committees on Appropriations, or
accompanying conference reports and joint explanatory
statements of the committee of conference or specifically
identified in the supplemental material justifying the budget
request to the Committees on Appropriations of the House of
Representatives and the Senate.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE BUDGET EXECUTION DATA
The Committee directs the Department of Defense to continue
to provide the congressional defense committees with quarterly
budget execution data. Such data should be provided not later
than 45 days following the close of each quarter for the fiscal
year, and should be provided for each O-1 budget activity,
activity group, and subactivity group for each of the active,
defense-wide, Reserve and National Guard components. For each
O-1 budget activity, activity group, and subactivity group,
these reports should include the budget request and actual
obligations; the Department of Defense distribution of
unallocated congressional adjustments to the budget request;
all adjustments made by the Department in establishing the Base
for Reprogramming (DD form 1414) report, all adjustments
resulting from below threshold reprogrammings; and all
adjustments resulting from prior approval reprogramming
requests.
INFORMATION OPERATIONS
The budget request includes nearly one billion dollars for
Department of Defense information operations (IO) programs. The
Committee has serious concerns about not only the significant
amount of funding being spent on these programs, but more
importantly, about the Department's assumption of this mission
area within its roles and responsibilities. Much of the content
of what is being produced, and certainly some of the largest
cost drivers in these programs, is focused so far beyond a
traditional military information operation that the term non-
traditional military information operation does not justly
apply. At face value, much of what is being produced appears to
be United States Military, and more alarmingly non-military
propaganda, public relations, and behavioral modification
messaging. The Committee questions the effectiveness of much of
the material being produced with this funding, the supposed
efforts to minimize target audience knowledge of United States'
Government sponsorship of certain production materials, and the
ability of the Department to evaluate the impact of these
programs.
The Committee also notes that the official budget
justification materials for requested funding of this magnitude
are woefully inadequate. In addition, the Department's response
to attempts by the Committee to obtain a meaningful explanation
of funding for these programs clearly indicates that
Departmental oversight of these efforts is disorganized, and
that a thorough understanding of their scope within the
Department's leadership is incomplete. According to the
Department's limited response for information on this funding,
IO programs have grown at an enormous rate, from approximately
$9,000,000 in fiscal year 2005, to a staggering $988,000,000
request for fiscal year 2010. The requested growth in these
programs from fiscal year 2009 to fiscal year 2010 alone is
just over $200,000,000.
The Committee believes that the Department of Defense, and
the Combatant Commands which drive the demand for information
operations, need to reevaluate IO requirements in the context
of the roles and missions of the United States Military along
with consideration for the inherent capabilities of the
military and the funding available to meet these requirements.
In support of this evaluation, the Committee has determined
that many of the ongoing IO activities for which fiscal year
2010 funding is requested should be terminated immediately. The
programs for which funding is specifically denied are
identified in the classified annex to this report. Accordingly,
the Committee has reduced requested funding for information
operation programs in the various Service appropriations
accounts in which they have been requested by a total of
$500,000,000. Of the remaining funds provided for information
operations, the Committee directs that no funds shall be
obligated or expended until 30 days after the Secretary of
Defense submits a report to the Committees on Appropriations of
the House of Representatives and the Senate on the Department's
IO programs. This report should encompass the period from
fiscal years 2005 through 2010 and include all Department of
Defense information operation programs for which base budget,
supplemental, or overseas contingency operation funds have been
appropriated or requested. The report shall include: program
strategies, target audiences, goals, and measures of
effectiveness; budget exhibits at the appropriations account
and sub-activity level; spend plans (including positions and
other direct costs); and production and dissemination
mechanisms and locations. The report shall also include an
annex for the inclusion of necessary explanatory and supporting
classified information. The Secretary shall submit this report
in writing not later than 180 days after enactment of this Act.

program in fiscal year 2010:
AFRICA PARTNERSHIP STATION
The Committee recommends an additional $20,500,000 in
Operation and Maintenance, Navy in support of maritime security
capacity building in U.S. Africa Command's (AFRICOM) area of
responsibility. Since November 2007, the U.S. Navy has led
joint exercises, port visits, professional training and
community outreach with the coastal nations of West Africa
through the Africa Partnership Station (APS). The Committee
commends the Navy's effort to increase the ability of our
African partners to extend the rule of law out to sea and
better combat illegal fishing, human smuggling, drug
trafficking, oil theft and piracy. To increase the Navy's role
in AFRICOM and ensure a more predictable, robust schedule of
exercises under APS, the Committee has provided $10,500,000 for
APS--West for fiscal year 2010. The Committee also strongly
supports AFRICOM's plan to carry out similar exercises on the
east coast of Africa, and has provided an additional
$10,000,000 for APS--East.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE, MARINE CORPS
Fiscal year 2009 appropriation........................ $5,519,232,000
Fiscal year 2010 budget request....................... 5,536,223,000
Committee recommendation.............................. 5,557,510,000

The Committee recommends an appropriation of
$33,785,349,000 for Operation and Maintenance, Air Force. The
total amount recommended in the bill will provide the following
program in fiscal year 2010:
FEE-FOR-SERVICE REFUELING
The Committee provides no funding for the fee-for-service
refueling pilot program due to concerns with the lack of a
validated requirement for the program. The Air Force should
instead focus on the KC-135 tanker replacement program which is
a Joint Requirements Oversight Council validated requirement.
The Committee recommends $439,615,000 in title VIII of this Act
only for the recapitalization of the aging KC-135 fleet with a
competitive procurement of a commercial derivative tanker
aircraft.
AIR FORCE ELECTRONIC WARFARE EVALUATION SIMULATOR
The Committee is aware of an Air Force effort to relocate
the Air Force Electronic Warfare Evaluation Simulator (AFEWES)
from Air Force Plant 4 to the Air Force Flight Test Center.
Several government studies, including the 1995 Base Realignment
and Closure Commission and a 1997 Government Accountability
Office report, highlight the absence of a cost or capability
rationale to justify this relocation. Therefore, the Committee
directs that the Department shall not obligate or expend funds
to relocate the AFEWES from Air Force Plant 4 until a
comprehensive cost/benefit analysis, reviewed by the Government
Accountability Office, is provided to the Congressional defense
committees. Further, because the AFEWES specialized test
capabilities are a vital element of our national defense
posture, study findings should demonstrate the technical merits
of any proposed relocation.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE, DEFENSE-WIDE
Fiscal year 2009 appropriation........................ $25,939,466,000
Fiscal year 2010 budget request....................... 28,357,246,000
Committee recommendation.............................. 27,929,377,000
Change from budget request............................ -427,869,000
The Committee recommends an appropriation of
$27,929,377,000 for Operation and Maintenance, Defense-Wide.
The total amount recommended in the bill will provide the
following program in fiscal year 2010:
JOINT CHIEFS OF STAFF
The Committee provides $432,169,000 for the Joint Chiefs of
Staff, $25,000,000 below the fiscal year 2010 request. The
Department of Defense requested an additional $25,000,000 for
the Combatant Commanders Initiative Fund (CCIF), which the
Committee has not provided. The Committee understands that, to
allow Combatant Commanders to respond to urgent and emerging
humanitarian, economic, and security challenges in their areas
of operation, the CCIF program must be as flexible as possible.
Furthermore, the Committee is satisfied with the Joint Chiefs
of Staff's management and oversight of CCIF projects to date.
However, the Committee is concerned that increasing the funding
available for CCIF will eliminate the incentive for the
Department to carefully scrutinize proposed projects and ensure
that only those of the highest priority receive funding.
AFGHANISTAN INFORMATION COMMUNICATIONS TECHNOLOGY
The Committee is concerned about the slow rate of progress
in connecting the Afghanistan fiber-optic communications
backbone to the global information-technology network. As
highlighted in a 2009 National Defense University study titled,
``Information Communications Technology for Reconstruction and
Development: Afghanistan Challenges and Opportunities,''
multiple social, economic, and educational benefits will be
realized once a reliable terrestrial network is installed in
Afghanistan. Therefore, the Committee directs that $20,000,000
within the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) account
shall not be available for obligation until DISA, in
coordination with the CENTCOM J-6, submits a report that
examines the telecommunications infrastructure of Afghanistan
to determine the feasibility of moving both Afghanistan's and
parts of the Department of Defense's bandwidth requirements
from expensive, high-latency satellite links to lower cost,
low-latency terrestrial links such as fiber-optic and microwave
technologies. This report shall be submitted to the
congressional defense committees within 90 days of the
enactment of this Act. The report should include a detailed
``as-is'' architecture of the existing terrestrial
telecommunications infrastructure of Afghanistan, and it should
include an analysis of alternatives (AoA) for terrestrial
telecommunications capabilities to meet the Department's
bandwidth requirements in Afghanistan, along with a ``to be''
architecture of how the Department will implement a Service-
Oriented-Architecture software capability to provision, manage
and track the utilization of bandwidth in support of Stability
Operations in Afghanistan. The AoA will include, at a minimum,
a review of issues and opportunities with: (1) leasing
bandwidth from the Afghanistan Ministry of Communications using
their existing fiber-optic backbone, (2) leasing bandwidth from
the commercial cellular operators using their respective
nation-wide microwave backbones, (3) leasing bandwidth from
commercial satellite communications system providers, and (4)
incentivizing the Government of Afghanistan to issue a new
telecommunications license for a commercial fiber-optic
backbone and international gateway for Afghanistan.
SECURITY AND STABILIZATION
The Committee has provided $25,000,000 for the security and
stabilization assistance program, a reduction of $175,000,000
below the fiscal year 2010 request. Pursuant to section 1201 of
the House-passed National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal
Year 2010 (H.R. 2647), additional funds for this program are
not authorized.
OFFICE OF ECONOMIC ASSISTANCE
The Committee has provided an additional $13,626,000 for
the Office of Economic Assistance (OEA) to restore a proposed
reduction in funding for Community Economic Assistance Grants.
The Committee understands the Department's assumption that,
with implementation of the 2005 Base Realignment and Closure
(BRAC) recommendations approaching completion, community
requirements for OEA assistance will diminish. However, the
Committee is concerned that recent non-BRAC-related decisions,
including the reduction of planned Army Brigade Combat Teams
(BCTs) from 48 to 45, and the proposed retirement of 248 Air
Force combat aircraft will impact communities across the
country that will require the assistance of OEA in mitigating
the effects of those decisions. Consequently, the Committee has
restored funding for OEA Community Economic Assistance Grants
to fiscal year 2009 levels.
FORT STEWART
The Committee has strong concerns about the impact on local
communities as a result of a decision by the Secretary of
Defense to reverse the planned growth in the number of Army
Brigade Combat Teams (BCT) from 45 to 48. Nowhere has this
impact been more severe than at Fort Stewart, Georgia.
Beginning in December 2007, Army leaders met repeatedly with
local government officials, private investors and builders and
encouraged them to ``build-out now,'' so facilities would be
ready by 2011 to fully accommodate the projected influx of
5,000 soldiers and their family members. The Committee
appreciates the difficulties and risks undertaken by the Fort
Stewart community in securing and investing more than
$450,000,000 to welcome these additional troops and strongly
commends this outstanding demonstration of local support for
our military. Therefore, the Committee urges the Army and the
Department of Defense to mitigate the impact of the change in
basing plans on the Fort Stewart community. Further, the
Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a report
on all mitigation efforts underway and on the feasibility of
other combat or support units relocating to Fort Stewart. This
report should be submitted no later than 60 days after
enactment of this Act.
OFFICE OF THE UNDER SECRETARY OF DEFENSE (COMPTROLLER) AND CHIEF
FINANCIAL OFFICER
The Committee has provided $2,348,000 for the Office of the
Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller) and Chief Financial
Officer for the costs associated with the recruitment, hiring,
training, retention and pay for additional federal employees to
improve fiscal management and oversight. The Committee urges
the Department to exempt the Office of the Under Secretary of
Defense (Comptroller) and Chief Financial Officer from internal
Department headquarters personnel ceilings if necessary to
ensure proper fiscal management and budget oversight.

program in fiscal year 2010:
FAMILY ASSISTANCE CENTERS/NATIONAL GUARD REINTEGRATION
The Committee has included $20,000,000 for Family
Assistance and Reintegration activities for Reserve Component
soldiers. The Committee recognizes that Family Assistance and
Reintegration activities present unique challenges for the
Reserve Components; however, based on the number of issues
being raised, the Committee is concerned whether the proper
initiatives and support programs are in place. The Committee
directs the National Guard to submit an implementation plan for
these funds and that North Carolina, Mississippi, Maine, New
Hampshire, New Jersey, and Minnesota be given priority for
implementation of these programs.
PROCESS REFINEMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION INITIATIVE
The National Guard Bureau has identified Joint CONUS
Communications Support Environment (JCCSE) Communications
Enhancements as one of its top requirements, for which the
Committee recommends $1,600,000. The National Guard Bureau has
stated that funding for furthering JCCSE Communications
enhancements is essential as it enhances the National Guard's
ability to support and respond under the homeland defense/civil
support mission. The Committee supports the National Guard's
efforts to enhance this technology, including providing an
interface for communications between federal and state agencies
concerning incidents involving homeland defense and disaster
mitigation.

TITLE III
PROCUREMENT
The fiscal year 2010 Department of Defense procurement
budget request totals $105,213,426,000. The table below
summarizes the budget estimates and the Committee's
recommendations.
GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABILITY OFFICE
The Government Accountability Office (GAO) has been
directed by Congress to perform an annual assessment of the
performance of the Department's portfolio of major acquisition
programs, as well as individual programs. The GAO relies on
data from the Department's Selected Acquisition Reports (SAR)
for its cost and schedule analyses. In the absence of a
complete set of annual SARs prior to the fiscal year 2011
budget submission, the Secretary of Defense is directed to
provide GAO with SAR-like data (including cost, schedule, and
funding data that reflects the program of record, including the
estimated outyear funding requirements) for each major defense
acquisition program. This information should be provided to the
GAO in a timely manner to support the March 30, 2010 report to
Congress.
JOINT STRIKE FIGHTER NON-RECURRING EQUIPMENT
The Joint Strike Fighter program budgets for and procures
equipment and tooling to outfit the manufacturing facility with
sufficient capacity to produce aircraft in larger quantities as
the production program ramps up. Since the program began
production in fiscal year 2007, the Congress has appropriated
over $900,000,000 for this effort. However, in actuality, the
program has executed just over $700,000,000, largely because
the production ramp up has been lower than originally
predicted. Therefore, the recommendation reduces the request
for non-recurring equipment by $232,000,000 to fund this
activity at a level consistent with historical execution.
C-130 FIREFIGHTING CAPABILITY
The Committee directs the Secretary of the Air Force and
the Director of the National Guard Bureau within 60 days of
enactment of this Act, to create an Integrated Working Group
(IWG) in conjunction with the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) for
the purpose of coordinating the joint use of federal forest
firefighting assets, and within 90 days after formation of the
IWG, to submit a report to the congressional defense committees
and the House Appropriations Interior Subcommittee detailing
the following:
1. The viability of the Air National Guard and the U.S.
Forest Service jointly operating a fleet of new C-130s procured
for the primary purposes of firefighting duties at the request
of the U.S. Forest Service, and equipped with the latest proven
firefighting technology.
2. Any and all prior analysis done in the past ten years by
the Department of the Air Force, the National Guard Bureau or
the USFS concerning the recapitalization of the national
firefighting fleet.
3. A new business case analysis which examines the cost and
operational effectiveness of procurement of new C-130 aircraft
and joint co-operation between the Department of the Air Force,
the National Guard Bureau and the USFS for the firefighting
mission as compared to the present approach of utilizing the
current fleet of aging firefighting aircraft available via
commercial operator contracts.
4. Any existing legislative impediments to interagency
cooperation and joint operation of a dedicated firefighting
fleet by the Department of the Air Force, the National Guard
Bureau, and the USFS.
5. An assessment and accounting of public/private property
losses as well as taxpayer expenses spent annually fighting
forest and wildfires and how such losses can be mitigated by
the described joint firefighting business model with respect to
the Department of the Air Force, the National Guard Bureau, and
the USFS.
An interim report shall be submitted to Congress no later
than 90 days after enactment of this Act detailing the progress
made on the final report.
SPECIAL OPERATIONS FORCES--PROCESSING, EXPLOITATION, AND DISSEMINATION
CAPABILITIES MODERNIZATION
The Committee is concerned about the urgent need for the
modernization of Special Operations Forces' (SOF) capabilities
to process, exploit, and disseminate critical operational
intelligence from deployed locations overseas and specifically
within the theater of operations. The immediacy of this
requirement was communicated to the Committee by SOF operators
during multiple visits to both Afghanistan and Iraq. Ongoing
SOF operations demonstrate the ability to collect significant
amounts of pocket litter, hard copy documents, hard drives,
cell phones, and other important hard copy and electronic media
with significant intelligence value. However, without
specialized expeditionary processing, this information becomes
inaccessible and of no value to SOF in immediate urgent
operational missions, and over the longer term to the war
fighter, the intelligence community and others in need of
access. To address this requirement, the Committee has provided
an additional $14,900,000 in funding for acquisition and
development of improved processing, exploitation, and
dissemination capabilities--$6,900,000 in ``Procurement,
Defense-Wide'', and $8,000,000 in ``Research, Development, Test
and Evaluation, Defense-Wide''.
Procurement funding is provided for acquisition of multi-
discipline intelligence processing, exploitation and
dissemination capabilities intended to meet Special Operations
Command's unfunded requirement for full motion video
exploitation. The funding will enable SOF to rapidly search and
exploit accumulated tactical intelligence in support of
operational decision-making and planning.
Funding provided for Distributed Common Ground/Surface
System (DCGS) capabilities modernization in the DCGS research,
development, test and evaluation program shall be used to
address requirements for integrating multi-function
intelligence processing, exploitation and dissemination
capabilities into the SOF information enterprise and the DCGS
architecture. This funding is also provided to develop a DCGS
tool for SOF to expand the capability to exploit documents and
media for tactical and timely intelligence in forward deployed
operations. The Committee believes that allowing larger volumes
of data to be captured and processed more quickly while in the
field will enable vastly improved support to not just SOF but
all deployed war fighter operations.
SPECIAL INTEREST ITEMS
Items for which additional funds have been provided as
shown in the project level tables or in paragraphs using the
phrase ``only for'' or ``only to'' in this report are
congressional interest items for the purpose of the Base for
Reprogramming (DD 1414). Each of these items must be carried on
the DD Form 1414 at the stated amount, specifically addressed
in the conference report. These items remain special interest
items whether or not they are repeated in a subsequent
conference report.
REPROGRAMMING GUIDANCE FOR ACQUISITION ACCOUNTS
The Committee directs the Department of Defense to continue
to follow the reprogramming guidance specified in the report
accompanying the House version of the fiscal year 2006
Department of Defense Appropriations Bill (H.R. 109-119).
Specifically, the dollar threshold for reprogramming funds will
remain at $20,000,000 for procurement, and $10,000,000 for
research, development, test and evaluation. The Department
shall continue to follow the limitation that prior approval
reprogrammings are set at either the specified dollar threshold
or 20 percent of the procurement or research, development, test
and evaluation line, whichever is less. These thresholds are
cumulative. Therefore, if the combined value of transfers into
or out of a procurement (P-1) or research, development, test
and evaluation (R-1) line exceeds the identified threshold, the
Department of Defense must submit a prior approval
reprogramming to the congressional defense committees. In
addition, guidelines on the application of prior approval
reprogramming procedures for congressional special interest
items are established elsewhere in this report.
REPROGRAMMING REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
The Committee directs the Under Secretary of Defense,
Comptroller, to continue to provide the congressional defense
committees quarterly, spreadsheet-based DD 1416 reports for
service and defense-wide accounts in titles III and IV of this
Act as required in the statement of the managers accompanying
the Conference report on the Department of Defense
Appropriations Act, 2006.
FUNDING INCREASES
The Committee directs that the funding increases outlined
in these tables shall be provided only for the specific
purposes indicated in the tables.
CLASSIFIED ANNEX
Adjustments to the classified programs are addressed in a
classified annex accompanying this report.
AIRCRAFT PROCUREMENT, ARMY
Fiscal year 2009 appropriation................. $4,900,835,000
Fiscal year 2010 budget request................ 5,315,991,000
Committee recommendation....................... 5,144,991,000
Change from budget request..................... -171,000,000
This appropriation finances acquisition of tactical and
utility airplanes and helicopters, including associated
electronics, electronic warfare equipment for in-service
aircraft, ground support equipment, components and parts such
as spare engines, transmission gear boxes, and sensor
equipment. It also funds related training devices such as
combat flight simulators and production base support.
The total amount recommended in the bill will provide the
following program in fiscal year 2010:
CH-47 CHINOOK HELICOPTER
The budget request proposed $860,087,000 for 16 new build
CH-47F helicopters and 11 remanufactured helicopters. The
Committee notes that Congress provided funding for five new
build helicopters in the Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2009,
one above the number requested in order to better support the
training base and home station training for units that are not
deployed. The Committee recommends funding of $825,087,000, a
reduction of $35,000,000, for 15 new build CH-47F helicopters
and 11 remanufactured aircraft.
EXTENDED RANGE/MULTI-PURPOSE UNMANNED AIRCRAFT SYSTEM
The fiscal year 2010 budget request proposed $401,364,000
for 24 Extended Range/Multi-Purpose Unmanned Aircraft. The
Committee is a strong supporter of unmanned aircraft and the
flexibility and persistence they bring to the battlefield in
both the reconnaissance and strike missions. However, the
budget justification materials provided to the Committee
indicate that the aircraft will be delivered over a 24 month
time period. Accordingly the Committee recommends funding for
the first 12 aircraft only. The Committee recommends funding of
$238,364,000, a reduction of $163,000,000 below the budget
request.
MISSILE PROCUREMENT, ARMY
Fiscal year 2009 appropriation................. $2,185,060,000
Fiscal year 2010 budget request................ 1,370,109,000
Committee recommendation....................... 1,358,609,000
Change from budget request..................... -11,500,000
This appropriation finances the acquisition of surface-to-
air, surface-to-surface, air-to-surface, and anti-tank/assault
missile systems. Also included are major components,
modifications, targets, test equipment and production base
support.
The total amount recommended in the bill will provide the
following program in fiscal year 2010:
PROCUREMENT OF WEAPONS AND TRACKED COMBAT VEHICLES, ARMY
Fiscal year 2009 appropriation................. $3,169,128,000
Fiscal year 2010 budget request................ 2,451,952,000
Committee recommendation....................... 2,681,952,000
Change from budget request..................... 230,000
This appropriation finances the acquisition of tanks,
personnel and cargo carriers, fighting vehicles, tracked
recovery vehicles, self-propelled and towed howitzers, machine
guns, mortars, modification of in-service equipment, initial
spares and production base support.
The total amount recommended in the bill will provide the
following program in fiscal year 2010:
STRYKER
The budget request proposed $388,596,000 for Stryker
program procurement. The funding requested would purchase
safety and survivability upgrades but no additional vehicles.
The Committee supports safety and survivability upgrades for
the Stryker fleet; however, the Committee is concerned that
$170,461,000 of the requested funding would be used for program
management support and system technical support. The Committee
recommends a reduction of $25,000,000 below the budget request
for excessive program management costs. Additionally, the
Committee has continuing concerns about the lack of production
of additional Stryker vehicles. In the Supplemental
Appropriations Act, 2009, Congress appropriated $200,000,000
above the request for the production of needed Stryker vehicles
and for sustainment of the production base. The Committee is
aware that the Army is considering the fielding of additional
Stryker brigades in order to improve the balance of heavy,
medium and light forces to enable a sustained response to the
full spectrum of potential threats. Additionally, the Committee
understands that the 5th Brigade (Stryker) of the 2nd Infantry
Division, will leave its set of Strykers in Afghanistan after
completion of the brigade's combat tour. That set of Strykers
will be the basis of a rotational Stryker brigade equipment
set. The Army will reset the 5th Brigade (Stryker) of the 2nd
Infantry Division with new production vehicles. In order to
support the continued production of new Stryker vehicles, the
Committee recommendation includes an additional $250,000,000.
In all, the Committee recommends $613,596,000 for the
procurement of Stryker vehicles, a net increase of
$225,000,000.
PROCUREMENT OF AMMUNITION, ARMY
Fiscal year 2009 appropriation........................ $2,287,398,000
Fiscal year 2010 budget request....................... 2,051,895,000
Committee recommendation.............................. 2,053,395,000
Change from budget request............................ 1,500,000
This appropriation finances the acquisition of ammunition,
modification of in-service stock, and related production base
support including the maintenance, expansion, and modernization
of industrial facilities and equipment.
The total amount recommended in the bill will provide the
following program in fiscal year 2010:
OTHER PROCUREMENT, ARMY
Fiscal year 2009 appropriation........................ $10,684,014,000
Fiscal year 2010 budget request....................... 9,907,151,000
Committee recommendation.............................. 9,293,801,000
Change from budget request............................ -613,350,000
This appropriation finances the acquisition of (a) tactical
and commercial vehicles, including trucks, semi-trailers, and
trailers of all types to provide mobility and utility support
to field forces and the worldwide logistical system; (b)
communications and electronic equipment of all types to provide
fixed, semi-fixed, and mobile strategic and tactical
communications; (c) other support equipment, generators and
power units, material handling equipment, medical support
equipment, special equipment for user testing, and non-system
training devices. In each of these activities, funds are also
included for the modification of in-service equipment,
investment spares and repair parts, and production base
support.
The total program recommended in the bill will provide the
following in fiscal year 2010:
FAMILY OF MEDIUM TACTICAL VEHICLES
The budget request proposed $1,158,522,000 for the
procurement of Medium Tactical Vehicles. However, the Committee
is aware that the contract award which was scheduled for July
has been delayed at least until September. Accordingly, the
Committee recommends funding for the Family of Medium Tactical
Vehicles of $965,522,000, a reduction of $193,000,000 below the
budget request.
FAMILY OF HEAVY TACTICAL VEHICLES
The budget request proposed $812,918,000 for the
procurement of Heavy Tactical Vehicles. However, the Committee
is aware that the contract award for the Heavy Equipment
Transporter System (HETS) M1070 Truck Tractor will not be made
until January 2011. The Committee recommends funding for the
Family of Heavy Tactical Vehicles of $786,566,000, a reduction
of $26,352,000 below the budget request, with no funding for
HETS Truck Tractors.
MINE PROTECTION VEHICLE FAMILY
The budget request proposed $402,517,000 to procure
vehicles for route clearance companies including 93 Medium Mine
Protected Vehicles. The Committee is aware that the Medium Mine
Protected Vehicle is essentially the same vehicle as the Mine
Resistant Ambush Protected Vehicle (MRAP), and that the new
vehicles proposed for purchase would not be delivered until
fiscal year 2012. However, as Army units continue to depart
Iraq, large numbers of MRAPs will become available for
redistribution and may be used to fill the requirements for
Medium Mine Protected Vehicles for engineer and explosive
ordnance disposal units. Therefore, the Committee provides no
funding for the procurement of Medium Mine Protected Vehicles.
JOINT TACTICAL RADIO SYSTEM
The budget request proposed $90,204,000 for the procurement
of Joint Tactical Radio System radios, including $55,164,000 to
procure Joint Tactical Radio System radios for use in Multi-
Service Operational Test and Evaluation. However, the Committee
is aware that the contract option covering procurement of these
test units is not expected to be exercised until fiscal year
2011 due to schedule delays. Accordingly, the Committee
recommends funding of $35,040,000 in fiscal year 2010 for
procurement of Joint Tactical Radio System radios, a reduction
of $55,164,000 below the budget request.
NIGHT VISION DEVICES (ENHANCED NIGHT VISION GOGGLES)
The budget request proposed $366,820,000 for Night Vision
Devices, including $250,662,000 for Enhanced Night Vision
Goggles. However, due to delays in the production of the
Enhanced Night Vision Goggles, the Army has identified
$131,900,000 of fiscal year 2009 funds as excess and usable as
reprogramming sources. Additionally, the Committee is aware
that production delays will continue into fiscal year 2010, and
that $75,000,000 is the amount that is executable for Enhanced
Night Vision Goggles. Accordingly, the Committee recommends
funding of $191,158,000 for Night Vision Devices, including
$75,000,000 for Enhanced Night Vision goggles, a reduction of
$175,662,000 below the budget request.
AIRCRAFT PROCUREMENT, NAVY
Fiscal year 2009 appropriation........................ $14,141,318,000
Fiscal year 2010 budget request....................... 18,378,312,000
Committee recommendation,............................. 18,325,481,000
Change from budget request............................ -52,831,000
This appropriation provides funds for the procurement of
aircraft and related support equipment and programs, flight
simulators; equipment to modify in-service aircraft to extend
their service life, eliminate safety hazards and improve
aircraft operational effectiveness; and spare parts and ground
support equipment for all end items procured by this
appropriation.
The total program recommended in this bill will provide the
following in fiscal year 2010:
STRIKE FIGHTER SHORTFALL
Sustained, continued operations in overseas contingencies
have resulted in the Department of the Navy's tactical aircraft
fleet (primarily the F-18 variant aircraft) being flown at an
extremely high operational tempo. This has caused the aircraft
to age at a faster rate than the Navy had planned when
determining the introduction of the follow on aircraft, the F-
35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter. The net result of these
sustained operations is that the Navy is forecasting critical
shortfalls in its strike fighter inventory. Delays in the
introduction of the F-35 from the original forecast have
exacerbated this shortfall. Last year, the Department of the
Navy predicted that the shortfall would peak at 125 aircraft in
fiscal year 2017. Although the Department of the Navy has not
provided an updated shortfall prediction with the submission of
this year's budget, the Committee understands it is now over
200 aircraft. This is due to the fact that a key assumption in
last year's prediction, the life extension of the older variant
F-18 aircraft, is proving to be more problematic than
anticipated. Additionally, the Navy has reduced the number of
F-18 aircraft being purchased in fiscal year 2010 from what was
predicted last year. This reduction is confusing, since it
moves the tactical aircraft inventory in the exact opposite
direction one would expect when faced with a shortage of
aircraft.
Fortunately for the Navy, the production line for the F/A-
18E/F variant aircraft is still open and producing aircraft.
For the last ten years this program has produced cost effective
aircraft under the umbrella of a multi-year procurement
strategy, however the fiscal year 2010 aircraft are being
purchased as a standalone, annually priced procurement. The
unit price difference between an annual procurement and a
multi-year procurement is substantial. Since the F-35 will not
begin to deliver in significant quantities for several years,
the Committee believes the Navy is letting a golden opportunity
slip away by not entering into another multi-year procurement
for F/A-18E/F aircraft. In addition to mitigating the strike
fighter shortfall, the Navy would achieve significant savings
by purchasing aircraft under a multi-year procurement.
Therefore, the recommendation provides $108,000,000 above the
request for the procurement of long lead equipment in an
economic order quantity and cost reduction initiatives for a
five year, 150 aircraft multi-year procurement for the F/A-18E/
F and EA-18G programs. Additionally, in an attempt to further
mitigate the strike fighter shortfall, the recommendation
provides $495,000,000 for the procurement of an additional nine
F/A-18E/F Aircraft.
F-35 LIGHTNING II JOINT STRIKE FIGHTER
Last year, the Congress appropriated advance procurement
funding for 14 fiscal year 2010 F-35 Short Take-Off and
Vertical Landing (STOVL) aircraft. However, this year's request
contains full funding for the procurement of 16 STOVL aircraft.
Without the proper advance procurement funding, two of the
fiscal year 2010 aircraft will not execute until fiscal year
2011. Since these aircraft will execute as fiscal year 2011
aircraft, they should be funded in fiscal year 2011. Therefore,
the recommendation removes $300,000,000, the cost of two STOVL
aircraft, from the program. This adjustment is consistent with
the Navy's own adjustments to other aircraft procurement
programs.
WEAPONS PROCUREMENT, NAVY
Fiscal year 2009 appropriation................. $3,292,972,000
Fiscal year 2010 budget request................ 3,453,455,000
Committee recommendation....................... 3,226,403,000
Change from budget request..................... -227,052,000
This appropriation provides funds for the procurement of
strategic and tactical missiles, target drones, torpedoes,
guns, associated support equipment, and modification of in-
service missiles, torpedoes, and guns.
The total amount recommended in the bill will provide the
following program in fiscal year 2010:
STANDARD MISSILE
The Standard Missile SM-6 Extended Range Active Missile
(SM-6 ERAM) is being developed to provide the Navy with the
ability to engage extended range, challenging targets well into
the future. Funding for the initial procurement of the SM-6
ERAM was appropriated in fiscal year 2009. The contract award
for the first SM-6 ERAM procurement was expected to occur in
January 2009, but has slipped to at least September 2009 and
will likely slip into fiscal year 2010. The initial procurement
of SM-6 ERAM will execute as a fiscal year 2010 contract award
and allow the fiscal year 2010 funding to be directed towards
higher priority items. Therefore, the recommendation reduces
the Standard Missile procurement program by $117,629,000.
PROCUREMENT OF AMMUNITION, NAVY AND MARINE CORPS
Fiscal year 2009 appropriation........................ $1,085,158,000
Fiscal year 2010 budget request....................... 840,675,000
Committee recommendation.............................. 794,886,000
Change from budget request............................ -45,789,000
This appropriation finances the acquisition of ammunition,
ammunition modernization, and ammunition-related material for
the Navy and Marine Corps.
The total program recommended in the bill will provide the
following in fiscal year 2010:
SHIPBUILDING AND CONVERSION, NAVY
Fiscal year 2009 appropriation........................ $13,054,367,000
Fiscal year 2010 budget request....................... 13,776,867,000
Committee recommendation.............................. 14,721,532,000
Change from budget request............................ 944,665,000
This appropriation provides funds for the construction of
new ships and the purchase and conversion of existing ships,
including hull, mechanical and electrical equipment,
electronics, guns, torpedo and missile launching systems, and
communication systems.
The total program recommended in the bill will provide the
following in fiscal year 2010:
SHIPBUILDING
The Navy's fiscal year 2010 budget request for shipbuilding
is moving closer to the goal of being able to reach and
maintain the Navy's stated requirement of 313 ships. The
Committee firmly believes that in order to reach a fleet size
of 313 ships, a minimum of ten ships per year should be
constructed. Over the last ten years, the requested ship
quantities have averaged less than seven ships per year.
Although still short of the nominal ten ship level, the fiscal
year 2010 budget requested funding for eight ships. The last
time the Navy built at least nine ships was in 1992 when eleven
ships were constructed. While the Committee recognizes that the
shipbuilding plan is extremely complex, it is the backbone of
the Navy's future and the Navy is strongly encouraged to
construct the quantity of ships necessary to maintain the
required fleet size. In the interim, the Committee provides
funding for two additional ships, as outlined below, to bring
the fiscal year 2010 ship count up to the desired level of ten
ships.
LITTORAL COMBAT SHIP
The Littoral Combat Ship is envisioned as a fast, agile,
networked surface combatant with capabilities designed to meet
asymmetric threats and assure access into littoral regions. The
program has experienced numerous problems during construction
of the first two vessels, resulting in cost growth and schedule
slippage. Although the program appears to have most of the
technical issues resolved, the cost of the fiscal year 2010
ships will be subject to a cost cap to better control the cost
of the program. The request contains sufficient funding for the
program costs that will be subject to the cost cap, however, it
lacks certain costs that are outside of the cost cap (such as
design work and government costs). Therefore, the
recommendation provides $2,160,000,000, an increase of
$780,000,000 above the request, to fully fund the construction
of the three Littoral Combat Ships in the request, as well as
an additional ship to provide an increase in the quantity of
ships for fiscal year 2010.
JOINT HIGH SPEED VESSEL
The Joint High Speed Vessel (JHSV) is envisioned as a high
speed, shallow draft vessel intended for the rapid intra-
theater transport of personnel, equipment and supplies. The
JHSV program is based on a commercial derivative design and
uses a fixed price contracting method, which together should
minimize cost and schedule growth. The Committee has a strong
desire to increase stability to the Nation's shipbuilding
industrial base by increasing the quantity of ships being
constructed each year. Therefore, the recommendation provides
$357,956,000, an increase of $180,000,000, for the procurement
of two Joint High Speed Vessels, which is an increase of one
vessel above the request.
SURFACE COMBATANTS
The Committee is concerned with the Navy's apparent lack of
a surface combatant acquisition plan. In recent years, the Navy
has halted production of the DDG-51 guided missile destroyer
program to start production of the DDG-1000 guided missile
destroyer. After awarding only two construction contracts for
DDG-1000 class ships, the Navy announced the termination of
that program at three ships and made plans to restart the DDG-
51 production line with no clear path for future surface
combatant acquisition. The Committee is aware that surface
combatants will be reviewed as part of the Quadrennial Defense
Review and directs the Navy to review, as part of the
Quadrennial Defense Review, the feasibility of using the
technologies developed as part of the DDG-1000 program on
future surface combatants to ensure the taxpayers get the
maximum benefit from the significant funding that was sunk into
the research and development phase of the DDG-1000 program.
LEASING OF FOREIGN BUILT SHIPS
The Committee remains very concerned with the Navy's
practice of entering into extended leases for foreign built
ships. Historically, these leases have met the intent of long
term capital lease restrictions on an individual basis, but the
recurring nature of several of the leases violates the spirit
and intent of the 1990 Budget Enforcement Act. The Committee
recognizes that the ships leased by the Navy fill an important
role that must be continued through the near term and well into
the future, but believes that ships that fill these roles can
provide an economic opportunity for the domestic shipbuilding
industry. Two years ago, the Committee received a report from
the Navy on their practice of leasing foreign built ships and a
plan for ending the practice of leasing foreign built ships by
2012. The basic conclusion of the report was that the
dependence on foreign built ships would be significantly
reduced by the year 2012, principally as a result of shifting
requirements and modifications to existing Department of
Defense assets. Since the administration is currently
undertaking a review of future requirements, the Committee is
extremely interested in how that review will affect the Navy's
practice of leasing foreign built ships. Therefore, the
Committee directs the Secretary of the Navy to update the
report submitted in March 2008 regarding the practice of
leasing foreign built ships. The report should include the
Navy's updated plan for terminating the practice of leasing
foreign built ships to supplement the fleet and using only
domestic built ships by 2012. Additionally, the report should
include the necessary budget and funding plans that may be
required to accomplish this. This report should be submitted no
later than March 31, 2010.
OTHER PROCUREMENT, NAVY
Fiscal year 2009 appropriation........................ $5,250,627,000

Change from budget request............................ -36,895,000
This appropriation provides funds for the procurement,
production, and modification of equipment, supplies, materials,
and spare parts.
The total program recommended in the bill will provide the
following in fiscal year 2010:
155MM LIGHTWEIGHT TOWED HOWITZER
The budget request proposed $7,420,000 for 155mm
Lightweight Towed Howitzers. The Committee notes that Congress
provided $186,000,000 in the Supplemental Appropriations Act,
2009, $117,000,000 greater than the requested amount of
$69,000,000. Since the Congress previously provided for this
request, the recommendation provides no funding for this
appropriations request. The Committee recommendation is a
reduction of $7,420,000.
COMMUNICATION SWITCHING AND CONTROL SYSTEMS
The budget request proposed $98,254,000 for communication
switching and control systems. The Committee notes that
Congress provided $22,400,000 in the Supplemental
Appropriations Act, 2009, $6,000,000 greater than the requested
amount of $16,400,000. Since the Congress previously provided
for this request, the recommendation reduces the request by
$6,000,000.
MOTOR TRANSPORT MODIFICATIONS
The budget request proposed $6,111,000 for motor transport
modifications. The Committee notes that Congress provided
$38,355,000 in the Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2009,
$22,500,000 greater than the requested amount of $15,855,000.
Since the Congress previously provided for this request, the
recommendation provides no funding for this appropriations
request.
AMPHIBIOUS SUPPORT EQUIPMENT
The budget request proposed $39,876,000 for amphibious
support equipment. The Committee notes that Congress provided
$11,545,000 in the Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2009,
$11,000,000 greater than the requested amount of $545,000.
Since the Congress previously provided for this request, the
recommendation reduces the request by $11,000,000.
AIRCRAFT PROCUREMENT, AIR FORCE
Fiscal year 2009 appropriation........................ $13,112,617,000
Fiscal year 2010 budget request....................... 11,966,276,000
Committee recommendation.............................. 11,956,182,000
Change from budget request............................ -10,094,000
This appropriation provides for the procurement of
aircraft, and for modification of in-service aircraft to
improve safety and enhance operational effectiveness. It also
provides for initial spares and other support equipment to
include aerospace ground equipment and industrial facilities.
In addition, funds are provided for the procurement of flight
training simulators to increase combat readiness and to provide
for more economical training.
The total program recommended in the bill will provide the
following in fiscal year 2010:
C-130 AVIONICS MODERNIZATION PROGRAM
The Committee provides no funding for the C-130 Avionics
Modernization Program. The fiscal year 2008 funds were not
placed on contract until September 2008 and the fiscal year
2009 funds have not yet been put on contract due to a delayed
Milestone C decision. Based on these delays, the funding
requested for fiscal year 2010 is early to need. The Committee
strongly encourages the Undersecretary of Defense (Acquisition,
Technology and Logistics) to make a decision on the acquisition
strategy and proceed expeditiously with the program of record.
UNDEFINITIZED CONTRACT ACTIONS
The Committee has become aware of the excessive use of
undefinitized contract actions (UCA's) by the Air Force. Based
on information obtained by the Committee, it is apparent that
the Air Force has not provided the proper oversight of
contracting activities within various programs. Specifically,
the C-17 aircraft program has billions of dollars in
undefinitized contracts. The Defense Federal Acquisition
Regulations (DFAR) very clearly stipulate in subpart 217.74
that UCA's are to be used as the exception not as the rule for
urgent needs. It is common practice for the C-17 program to
place all of its funding on a UCA and then immediately obligate
up to 50 percent of the not-to-exceed price at the award which
is a disincentive to definitize the contract. Further, the DFAR
requires that the contract must be definitized within 180 days
after the issuance of initial undefinitized action unless it is
extended by another 180 days after the contractor submits a
qualifying proposal. The C-17 program has numerous contracts
well in excess of these timelines with proposal times for
fiscal year 2007 funds ranging from 373 to 975 days and on
average 688 days to definitize. This use of UCA's places the
taxpayer at a severe disadvantage when negotiating contracts
since the contractor has little incentive to control costs
while performing work under a UCA.
Even more concerning to the Committee, is that this
excessive use of UCA's is not just isolated to procurement and
modernization programs but has migrated to operation and
maintenance programs. Based on information supplied by the Air
Force, a Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for
Contracting memorandum dated 28 November 2001 authorized the
waiver of the limitations in the DFAR for definitization
schedule and obligations for UCAs that support overseas
operations. With this memorandum as justification, the Air
Force has placed the fiscal year 2009 C-17 depot funding on a
UCA which is still not definitized in the fourth quarter of the
fiscal year even though the Air Force has obligated 89.7
percent of the $1,118,679,167 not-to-exceed price. This
rationale for the use of a undefinitized contracts for routine
activities is abusive. The Committee directs the Secretary of
the Air Force to address this situation within 30 days of
enactment of this Act to include the cancellation of the
November 2001 memorandum. The Committee further directs the Air
Force to provide a detailed report to the congressional defense
committees of all undefinitized UCA's in excess of $50,000,000
within 30 days of enactment of this Act. The report shall
include the date the UCA was initiated, the not-to-exceed
price, the amount obligated on the UCA, and the planned date
for definitization.
While the Committee understands the need at times for
programs to use this type of contracting mechanism, it appears
that the Air Force has grossly abused it with respect to
volume, value, and time to definitize. The Committee insists
that the Air Force finalize all existing undefinitized contract
actions in an expedited manner and to minimize the use of UCA's
the future. To encourage a sense of urgency, the Committee has
included a new proviso in the Aircraft Procurement, Air Force
appropriating paragraph which specifies that for C-17
procurement and modernization efforts funded with Aircraft
Procurement, Air Force the obligation of fiscal year 2010
procurement funds is prohibited until the existing UCA's are
definitized. The Committee further directs the Undersecretary
of Defense, Acquisition, Technology and Logistics (USD(AT&L))
to review contracting procedures within the Air Force and
provide a report to the congressional defense committees within
90 days of enactment of this Act detailing a strategy to reduce
current and minimize future undefinitized contracts in the Air
Force.
C-17 AIRCRAFT
The C-17 Globemaster III aircraft has been the supply and
logistics workhorse of the ongoing overseas conflicts. This
platform has been responsible for the airlift of more cargo and
personnel than any other platform. In recognition of the
platforms contributions to the Nation's security, the Committee
provides an additional $674,100,000 for the procurement of
three C-17 aircraft. The Committee recognizes that this is well
below the minimum sustaining rate required for the production
line. In an effort to avoid the extremely high costs associated
with small production lots, the Committee's intent is that
these aircraft be absorbed into the fiscal year 2009 production
run that was funded from the Supplemental Appropriations Act,
2009, to create a full production run funded over a two year
period. The Committee intends that the pricing for these
aircraft be consistent with the 2009 aircraft, using methods
such as a fixed price option to the fiscal year 2009 production
contract.
COMBAT SEARCH AND RESCUE HELICOPTERS
The Committee recommends $140,000,000 for the procurement
of five HH-60M helicopters lost in combat since 2001. With the
April 6th termination by the Secretary of Defense of the much
delayed Combat Search and Rescue program, it is apparent to the
Committee that a continued delay in replacing aircraft lost in
combat is not acceptable. Accordingly, the Committee directs
the Department of the Air Force to pursue replacement aircraft
based upon currently fielded capabilities leveraging existing
multi-service solutions and modifying the aircraft with the
appropriate mission equipment.
Additionally, the Committee provides $81,000,000 for
forward looking infrared radars to provide existing HH-60G
helicopters with common obstacle/terrain avoidance capability
during night or adverse weather conditions and hover cues
during rescue hoist/insertion operations. Furthermore, the
recommendation includes $20,200,000 for new .50 caliber machine
guns to replace legacy .50 caliber machine guns.
These investments continue the Committee's long standing
commitment to combat search and rescue, building on its fiscal
year 2007 appropriation of $99,000,000 which provided much
needed upgrades to the HH-60G Pave Hawk aircraft.
MISSILE PROCUREMENT, AIR FORCE
Fiscal year 2009 appropriation........................ $5,442,428,000
Fiscal year 2010 budget request....................... 6,300,728,000
Committee recommendation.............................. 6,508,359,000
Change from budget request............................ 207,631,000
This appropriation provides for procurement, installation,
and checkout of strategic ballistic and other missiles,
modification of in-service missiles, and initial spares for
missile systems. It also provides for operational space
systems, boosters, payloads, drones, associated ground
equipment, non-recurring maintenance of industrial facilities,
machine tool modernization, and special program support.
The total program recommended in the bill will provide the
following in fiscal year 2010:
EVOLVED EXPENDABLE LAUNCH VEHICLE
In the fiscal year 2009 Defense Appropriations Act, the
National Reconnaissance Office's (NRO) 30 percent share of the
Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle (EELV) Launch Capability
(ELC) funds was transferred to the Air Force; however, there
was no language specifying any further action. It was, and
remains, the Committee's intent to make the Air Force
responsible for the ELC in its entirety.
Consistent with the Explanatory Statement accompanying the
fiscal year 2009 Appropriation Act, the Committee directs the
transfer of the fiscal year 2010 NRO share of the ELC funds to
the Air Force and directs that the Office of Management and
Budget transfer the remaining ELC funds across the Future Years
Defense Program from the NRO to the Air Force.
The Committee is concerned that the Air Force has not
established a robust process for managing content on the ELC
contract. Therefore, the Committee directs the Air Force Space
and Missile Systems Center, Launch and Ranges Wing, to
establish a formal systems engineering process, which includes
NRO as the functional manager for space launch for the
Intelligence Community, as a voting member, in order to
prioritize and manage all efforts encompassed by the ELC
contract. In addition, the NRO will continue its space launch
partnership with the Air Force as a voting member for ELC award
fee determinations.
MULTI-SATELLITE VEHICLE PROCUREMENT STRATEGIES
The Committee is concerned about the space system
procurement strategies currently being employed by the Air
Force. The current strategies have driven up costs
significantly due to production breaks, inefficient supply
chain procurement, inefficient production flow, and delays
recognizing the need to replenish obsolete material. The
Committee is interested in exploring options that would help to
mitigate those inefficiencies in future satellite and launch
vehicle purchases.
The Committee believes there are two space systems that
show promise for multi-vehicle purchasing strategies, the
Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle (EELV) program and the Space
Based Infrared Satellite (SBIRS) system. Therefore, the
Committee directs the Secretary of the Air Force to provide the
congressional defense committees with a five-year investment
strategy for pursuing multi-vehicle purchase of the next block
increment of the SBIRS highly elliptical orbit and
geostationary orbit satellites and EELV systems by February 1,
2010.

follows:
TITLE IV
RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT, TEST AND EVALUATION
The fiscal year 2010 Department of Defense Research,
Development, Test and Evaluation budget request totals
$78,634,289,000. The table below summarizes the budget estimate
and the Committee's recommendations.
SMALL BUSINESS TECHNOLOGY INSERTION
The Committee is well aware of the multitude of development
problems experienced by numerous acquisition programs over the
past several years. Although these problems have been caused by
a variety of factors, the Committee believes that one
significant factor is the rapid pace at which technology has
been changing. The pace is so fast that the Department's
acquisition programs have been unable to remain current.
Therefore, the Committee is extremely supportive of initiatives
that transform how weapons systems are developed and fielded. A
good example of a transformational effort is the incorporation
of open architecture technologies. Developing weapons systems
with open architecture technologies allows these systems to
keep pace with changing technologies and ultimately reduces the
overall weapons system cost. Two years ago, the Committee began
an initiative to tap into the innovative and creative processes
that typify small business. The Navy in particular has been
very aggressive in pursuing the benefits of small business
innovation in the arena of open architecture. Since this
initiative has been so successful, the recommendation provides
an additional $80,000,000 for small business technology
insertion, placed in various Army, Navy, and Defense-Wide
research and development programs.
JOINT STRIKE FIGHTER ALTERNATE ENGINE
The F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter program truly
represents the Nation's future with respect to tactical
aviation. The Navy, Marine Corps and Air Force plan to procure
over 2,500 of these fifth generation stealthy aircraft and will
fly them well into the future. The Department's original plan
for the F-35 propulsion engine was to have two engine variants.
Cost growth in other areas of the development program resulted
in the Department abandoning the alternate engine program.
Currently, all three variants of the F-35 aircraft will be
powered by the same propulsion engine. Although this will make
the logistics for the aircraft less complex, this practice
presents problems. The Committee is extremely concerned that in
the near future when the F-35 will comprise the majority of the
Nation's tactical aircraft inventory any technical problems
with the engine could theoretically ground the entire fleet of
aircraft. If this situation were to arise in a time of crisis,
the Commander-in-Chief's flexibility would be severely limited.
Another area of concern for the Committee is the lack of
competition for the Joint Strike Fighter engine program. With
over 2,500 aircraft envisioned for this program, the potential
for cost savings through an engine competition is enormous. The
Committee is aware that the Department conducted a business
case analysis that compared the cost of the program of record
(sole source engine provider) to a program using a dual source
strategy for the engine program. The business case concluded
that the costs of the two programs were essentially the same.
Since the Congress has put several hundred million dollars into
the development of an alternate engine program since this
business case was published, the Committee is puzzled by the
Department's decision to not fund the alternate engine. With
the majority of the upfront development cost having been sunk
into the program, it seems clear that from this point forward
the dual source strategy is the most cost effective method to
acquire the propulsion engine for the Joint Strike Fighter.
Therefore, the recommendation provides an additional
$430,000,000 for the continued development of the alternate
engine and $130,000,000 for alternate engine production costs
for a total of $560,000,000 above the request for the alternate
engine program. Further, since a dual source engine strategy is
the most cost effective method for acquiring engines from this
point forward, the Secretary of Defense is directed to include
funding for the alternate engine program in future budget
requests.
EXECUTIVE AGENCY FOR ENERGETICS
The Committee is aware that executive agents can add
bureaucracy and, in the absence of carefully considered
responsibilities and authorities, detract from the efficiency
of the Department of Defense. The Committee is also aware that
the Services of the Department of Defense are well coordinated,
through the Office of the Secretary of Defense, with the
Department of Energy which has led to tremendous progress in
the last decade advancing the state of energetics and
revitalizing the energetics research and development workforce.
Accordingly, the Committee directs that no funds be expended
for the creation of a new Executive Agent or Executive Director
for Advanced Energetics. The Committee recommends that the
Department of Defense capitalize on existing best practices
within the individual Services to advance the state of the
energetics field to better meet the needs of the joint
warfighter.
SPECIAL INTEREST ITEMS
Items for which additional funds have been provided as
shown in the project level tables or in paragraphs using the
phrase ``only for'' or ``only to'' in this report are
congressional interest items for the purpose of the Base for
Reprogramming (DD 1414). Each of these items must be carried on
the DD Form 1414 at the stated amount, specifically addressed
in the conference report. These items remain special interest
items whether or not they are repeated in a subsequent
conference report.
REPROGRAMMING GUIDANCE FOR ACQUISITION ACCOUNTS
The Committee directs the Department of Defense to continue
to follow the reprogramming guidance specified in the report
accompanying the House version of the fiscal year 2006
Department of Defense Appropriations Bill (H.R.109-110).
Specifically, the dollar threshold for reprogramming funds will
remain at $20,000,000 for procurement, and $10,000,000 for
research, development, test and evaluation. The Department
shall continue to follow the limitation that prior approval
reprogrammings are set at either the specified dollar threshold
or 20 percent of the procurement or research, development, test
and evaluation line, whichever is less. These thresholds are
cumulative. Therefore, if the combined value of transfers into
or out of a procurement (P-1) or research, development, test
and evaluation (R-1) line exceed the identified threshold, the
Department of Defense must submit a prior approval
reprogramming to the congressional defense committees. In
addition, guidelines on the application of prior approval
reprogramming procedures for congressional special interest
items are established elsewhere in this report.
REPROGRAMMING REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
The Committee directs the Under Secretary of Defense,
Comptroller, to continue to provide the congressional defense
committees quarterly, spreadsheet-based DD 1416 reports for
service and defense-wide accounts in titles III and IV of this
Act as required in the statement of the managers accompanying
the Conference report on the Department of Defense
Appropriations Act, 2006.
RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT, TEST AND EVALUATION, ARMY
Fiscal year 2009 appropriation........................ $12,060,111,000
Fiscal year 2010 budget request....................... 10,438,218,000
Committee recommendation.............................. 11,151,884,000
Change from budget request............................ 713,666,000
This appropriation finances the research, development, test
and evaluation activities of the Department of the Army. The
total amount recommended in the bill will provide the following
program in fiscal year 2010:
FUTURE COMBAT SYSTEMS
On April 6, 2009 the Secretary of Defense announced a
restructure of the Army Future Combat Systems (FCS). The
restructured program will expand the spin out of technology
enhancements for all Army combat brigades and cancel the manned
ground vehicle component of the program. On June 23, 2009, the
Under Secretary of Defense (Acquisition, Technology and
Logistics) directed that due to the directive language found in
Section 8085 of the Consolidated Security, Disaster Assistance,
and Continuing Appropriations Act, 2009 pertaining to the
independent development and fielding of the Non-Line of Sight
Cannon component, work on the cannon component would be stopped
but not terminated. However, the Committee has not retained
this language in this bill, relieving the Army from the
management and production requirements related to the Non-Line
of Sight Cannon. Also, on June 23, 2009, the Under Secretary of
Defense published a Future Combat Systems (FCS) Brigade Combat
Team (BCT) Acquisition Decision Memorandum which cancels the
FCS Brigade Combat Team acquisition program; holds the Non-Line
of Sight Cannon component in a stop work status; and
transitions to integrated acquisition programs that will spin
out equipment sets to seven brigades; proceed with a brigade
modernization effort to develop, produce and field unmanned
systems, sensors and the communications network; and explore
development of new ground combat vehicles.
The Committee supports the Army's efforts to promptly field
proven advances in technology to all combat brigades while
refocusing efforts to modernize the equipment in brigade combat
teams. The Committee supports Army efforts to harvest
technology from the current manned ground vehicle program, and
work with the Marine Corps to identify capability gaps and
lessons learned from recent combat operations. The budget
request proposes $2,553,042,000 for FCS research, development,
test and evaluation and $327,921,000 in procurement funding; in
all $2,880,963,000. The Committee recommends $2,669,963,000, as
requested for FCS lines with the exception of the Non-Line of
Sight Cannon and Manned Ground Vehicles, as discussed below.
NON-LINE OF SIGHT CANNON
The budget request proposed $58,216,000 for termination of
the Future Combat Systems (FCS) Non-Line of Sight Cannon
program. The Committee is aware that as of the end of April
2009 the program had approximately $236,500,000 in unexecuted
fiscal year 2009 procurement and research, development, test
and evaluation funding. Additionally, the Committee understands
that the basis for the request for termination funding was
uncertain and preliminary. Therefore, the Committee recommends
funding of $31,216,000 for termination costs, a reduction of
$27,000,000 below the budget request.
The Committee bill has not retained the directive language
found in Section 8085 of The Consolidated Security, Disaster
Assistance, and continuing Appropriations Act, 2009 pertaining
to the independent development and fielding of the Non-Line of
Sight Cannon component.
FUTURE COMBAT SYSTEMS MANNED GROUND VEHICLES
The budget request proposed $368,557,000 for termination of
the Future Combat Systems Manned Ground Vehicle component.
However, the Committee is aware that as of the end of April
2009 the program had approximately $740,000,000 in unexecuted
fiscal year 2009 funds available. The Committee believes that a
significant portion of termination requirements should be
funded with available funding. The Committee recommends
$184,557,000 for termination costs, a reduction of $184,000,000
below the budget request.
MANNED GROUND VEHICLE
The budget request proposed $100,000,000 for a new Manned
Ground Vehicle Program which is intended to capture the design
effort and technological advances from the Future Combat
Systems Manned Ground Vehicle component for leverage in a
follow on program. The Committee is aware of the Army's desire
to proceed quickly with the new Manned Ground Vehicle program;
however, the Committee believes the estimate of funding
required to initiate the effort is uncertain and accordingly,
the Committee recommends funding of $50,000,000, a reduction of
$50,000,000 below the request.
AEROSTAT JOINT PROGRAM OFFICE
The budget request proposed $360,076,000 for the Aerostat
Joint Program Office. However, the Joint Land Attack Cruise
Missile Defense Elevated Netted Sensor System Development and
Demonstration (SDD) program has been delayed 12 months,
extending the SDD effort into fiscal year 2011. The Committee
recommends funding of $288,076,000, a reduction of $72,000,000
below the request.
TACTICAL UNMANNED AERIAL SYSTEMS
The budget request proposed $202,521,000 for Tactical
Unmanned Aerial Systems research, development, test and
evaluation. The Committee notes the ever increasing demand for
Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance products
provided by unmanned aerial vehicles, including the Shadow and
Predator series aircraft. In recognition of this requirement,
the Congress in the Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2009 fully
funded the requested amount for procurement of Tactical
Unmanned Aerial Systems and provided $80,000,000 in additional
funding to enhance and accelerate capabilities. The Committee
strongly supports advances in Intelligence, Surveillance, and
Reconnaissance capability, but the Committee is concerned that
the program growth proposed for fiscal year 2010 above the
fiscal year 2009 appropriated amount of $104,276,000 is
unjustified and recommends funding of $172,521,000, a reduction
of $30,000,000.
ARMY RESEARCH LABORATORY SMALL BUSINESS SPECIAL OPERATIONS FORCES
TECHNOLOGY INSERTION
The Committee recommends $10,000,000 only for the Army
Research Laboratory to establish a small business technology
insertion program, using the Navy's very successful SBIR
technology insertion contracting approach, to identify
technologies developed under the Army Research Laboratory SBIR
program for Army Special Operations Forces and insert them into
Army programs of record to reduce acquisition and operating
costs. The program should identify advanced SBIR technologies
developed in small numbers for the Special Operations Forces
that can either be accelerated and/or broadened for use in the
Army's weapon system development programs for active and
reserve forces.
RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT, TEST AND EVALUATION, NAVY
Fiscal year 2009 appropriation........................ $19,764,276,000
Fiscal year 2010 budget request....................... 19,270,932,000
Committee recommendation.............................. 20,197,300,000
Change from budget request............................ 926,368,000
This appropriation provides funds for the research,
development, test and evaluation activities of the Department
of the Navy, which includes the Marine Corps. The total amount
recommended in the bill will provide the following program in
fiscal year 2010:
BONE MARROW REGISTRY
The Committee has included $31,500,000 for the Department
of the Navy, to be administered by the C.W. Bill Young Marrow
Donor Recruitment and Research Program, also known as and
referred to within the Naval Medical Research Center as the
Bone Marrow Registry. Funds appropriated for the C.W. Bill
Young Marrow Donor Recruitment and Research Program shall
remain available only for the purposes for which they were
appropriated and may only be obligated for the C.W. Bill Young
Marrow Program. This Department of Defense donor center has
recruited more than 525,000 Department of Defense volunteers,
and provides more marrow donors per week than any other donor
center in the Nation. More than 3,360 servicemembers and other
Department volunteers from this donor center have provided
marrow to save the lives of patients. The success of this
national and international life-saving program for military and
civilian patients, which now includes more than 7,500,000
potential volunteer donors is admirable. Further, the agencies
involved in contingency planning are encouraged to continue to
include the C.W. Bill Young Marrow Donor Recruitment and
Research Program in the development and testing of their
contingency plans. The Department of Defense form (DD Form
1414) shall show this as a congressional interest item. The
Department is further directed to release all the funds
appropriated for this purpose to the C.W. Bill Young Marrow
Donor Recruitment and Research Program within 60 days of the
enactment of this Act.
VH-71 PRESIDENTIAL HELICOPTER
The Committee has included $400,000,000 above the
President's request to make the five Increment I VH-71
Presidential helicopters operational. Although the Navy would
not respond to the Committee regarding costs to operationalize
the previously purchased five aircraft, the Future Year's
Defense Plan for fiscal year 2009 proposed $328,000,000 for
fiscal year 2010 and $140,000,000 in fiscal year 2011 to
complete testing and outfitting to make the aircraft
operational.
The Navy has invested over $3,200,000,000 in the VH-71
Presidential helicopter program. On April 6, 2009, the
Secretary of Defense announced the cancellation of the program.
To date, the Navy has provided no plan for the disposition of
the five aircraft that were intended to provide interim service
in the Presidential helicopter fleet due to the age of the
current fleet. If these aircraft are not made operational, the
previously appropriated funds will have been wasted.
The Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to submit a
report on progress toward making the five Increment I VH-71
Presidential helicopters operational. The report shall be
submitted to the congressional defense committees no later than
30 days after the enactment of this Act.
EXPEDITIONARY FIGHTING VEHICLE
The budget request proposed $293,466,000 for the continued
development of the Marine Corps' Expeditionary Fighting Vehicle
(EFV). The Committee notes that the Secretary of Defense
statement regarding program cancellations reiterated that the
``department . . . must stop programs that significantly exceed
their budget'' and ``modernization goals should be tied to the
actual and prospective capabilities of known future
adversaries--not by what might be technologically feasible for
a potential adversary given unlimited time and resources.''
Research and development cost estimates for the EFV increased
from $1,500,000,000 in 2000 to $3,600,000,000 in 2009,
according to the Government Accountability Office, and per-
vehicle costs have increased from $8,000,000 to $23,000,000,
while the number of vehicles to be procured was reduced by one-
half.
The Expeditionary Fighting Vehicle has experienced cost
growth, schedule slips and technical issues throughout its
development cycle. Given the nearly 15 years and billions of
dollars invested in the EFV program, the Committee has serious
reservations whether the program will ever meet a standard for
completion, with initial operational capability now projected
at 2015, and full operational capability now projected at 2025.
Therefore, the recommendation reduces the request by
$50,000,000.
RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT, TEST AND EVALUATION, AIR FORCE
Fiscal year 2009 appropriation........................ $27,084,340,000
Fiscal year 2010 budget request....................... 27,992,827,000
Committee recommendation.............................. 27,976,278,000
Change from budget request............................ -16,549,000
This appropriation finances the research, development, test
and evaluation activities of the Department of the Air Force.
The total amount recommended in the bill will provide the
following program in fiscal year 2010:
AERIAL REFUELING TANKER REPLACEMENT PROGRAM
The Committee firmly believes that the Department must act
promptly to recapitalize the aging Air Force aerial refueling
fleet. The Department's current program has been beset with
countless setbacks, from allegations of corruption to a protest
of the previous source selection decision. In the meantime, our
nation's aerial refueling tankers continue to age, with the
average age of a KC-135 being almost 50 years old today. The
aerial refueling replacement program (KC-X, KC-Y and KC-Z)
plans to procure between 12 and 15 aircraft per year to
eventually replace the current fleet of 513 aircraft. This
method of recapitalization will take decades to complete, with
the current fleet of Eisenhower-era tankers being 80 years old
by the time the last legacy aircraft is retired. During this
period, the Air Force will invest billions of taxpayer dollars
in maintenance of an ever aging and increasingly unreliable
fleet. Based on studies conducted by the Department of Defense,
total fleet costs are anticipated to increase from $2.1 billion
per year to $3 billion per year by 2040 due to increasing depot
maintenance and forecasted modernization programs in avionics
and aircraft systems. Additionally, the Department anticipates
depot maintenance costs increasing from $320,000,000 to
$1,100,000,000 in 2040 due to aging aircraft related
maintenance. Never in the history of our Nation has the
military purposely planned to maintain aircraft past 50 years,
much less 80 years of operation so even these estimates may
understate the actual cost. In addition to the cost of
maintaining the aging tanker fleet, the cost per flying hour of
a new tanker is almost half the cost of the existing fleet. The
lower cost per flying hour alone will save the taxpayer
$1,795,500,000 per year for a fleet of 513 aircraft (current
total aircraft inventory) or $3,500,000 per plane per year
replaced.
To address these concerns, the Committee recommendation
includes a general provision providing $439,615,000 and the
option for choosing one vendor or dual sourcing for the aerial
refueling Tanker replacement program. Along with this
authority, the Committee believes that it is in the best
interest of the taxpayer to pursue recapitalization at a rate
of 36 aircraft per year vice 12 or 15 aircraft. This quantity
will allow for recapitalization in one-third the time and thus
allow for a rapid retirement of the current KC-135 aircraft.
This plan will result in avoiding a large sustainment and
modernization cost of the legacy KC-135 fleet by allowing them
to retire earlier than is currently programmed. Additionally,
having more than one aircraft provider will allow for
competition to help control the procurement cost, promote cost
reduction measures, and allow for a faster aircraft replacement
rate.
Further, the Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to,
prior to the release of a draft or final request for proposal
soliciting bids for an aerial tanker replacement aircraft,
submit a report to the congressional defense committees that
includes a description of key mission requirement and
performance parameters that will be used as the basis for
determining the key selection criteria in the source selection
process; a full and complete characterization and definition of
``best value''; a description of the process that the
Department of Defense intends to use to ensure open, balanced
and transparent communications with potential offerors; and a
full description of the corrections made to the source
selection process that addresses the issues raised by the
Government Accountability Office in its ``Statement Regarding
the Bid Protest Decision Resolving the Aerial Refueling Tanker
Protest by the Boeing Company, B311344 et. al, June 18, 2008''.
COMMON VERTICAL LIFT SUPPORT PROGRAM
The request includes $9,513,000 for the Common Vertical
Lift Support Program to address vertical lift support for
nuclear weapon convoy escort, emergency security response and
other missions. This program was initiated as a new start in
fiscal year 2009 to study the recapitalization of the Air Force
H-1 Helicopter fleet with plans for a commercial-off-the-shelf
platform with initial operational capability in fiscal year
2013. Estimates provided by the Air Force indicate that the
average procurement unit cost will be approximately
$60,000,000. This estimate is far greater than the costs for
platforms similar to H-1 helicopters currently in production
with the Army, Navy and Marine Corps. The Committee recommends
$2,000,000 for program management support for the Common
Vertical Lift Support Program and urges the Air Force to pursue
programs currently in production with other Services to address
their requirements instead of pursuing a costly new development
program.
BOMBER CREW SAFETY STUDY
The Committee has provided an additional $1,200,000 for the
Air Force to conduct a B-52H seat re-engineering study to
improve the capabilities of the current seat. The study should
provide a plan for improving existing seats or equipping the
aircraft with the newest technology resulting in significant
performance and safety improvements and commonality with other
aircraft in the Air Force fleet such as the T-38, T-6 and the
F-35.
JOINT STARS DEMONSTRATION
The Committee has directed the permanent transfer of a
SYERS-3 sensor to the Air Force for completion of the SYERS
Demonstration Program initiated in the Defense Appropriations
Act, 2008. The Committee directs that the Air Force notify the
congressional defense committees upon formal receipt of the
sensor and expects that this transfer of ownership will
expedite completion of the demonstration program. In addition,
the Committee directs that the Air Force submit a written
report to the congressional defense committees on the results
of the demonstration program, and any proposed future use of
the SYERS-3 sensor in any Air Force program, not later than 30
days after completion of the demonstration.
EVOLVED EXPENDABLE LAUNCH VEHICLE SUSTAINMENT PLANS
The Committee directs the Secretary of the Air Force, in
consultation with the Director of the National Reconnaissance
Office, to submit an Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle (EELV)
sustainment plan to the congressional defense committees by
January 4, 2010. This plan should include time-phased actions
necessary to sustain the EELV program until 2030. It should
also include the actions to insure that EELV launch
capabilities and industrial base are maintained. In addition,
the plan should include a roadmap for the infusion of new
technology as well as increased reliability, maintainability
and producibility of Pre-Planned Product Improvement efforts.
In particular, the state of the liquid rocket propulsion
industrial base should be addressed in the plan. The report
should identify the minimum level of investments and areas of
technology development required to ensure the United States has
a robust and viable liquid rocket engine industrial base beyond
2015 with focus on upper stage engine development. The report
should identify technology development areas and annual funding
requirements to support these technology areas.
In addition to the EELV sustainment plan, the Committee
directs the Department of Defense's Cost Assessment and Program
Evaluation group to perform a follow-up assessment of the
United Launch Alliance merger and assess the status of the
projected cost savings suggested at the time of the merger.
30-YEAR SPACE SYSTEM INVESTMENT STRATEGY
The Committee is concerned that there is no clear path for
space system investment. The Committee strongly believes that
an annual long-range plan for space system investment will
provide a necessary roadmap for future government and
industrial base investments. The Committee envisions this long-
range plan be structured like the Annual Long-Range Plan for
Construction of Naval Vessels. Similarly, this plan should
contain information on the research, development, test and
evaluation, as well as, the procurement, including schedule and
funding profiles, for all Department of Defense and
Intelligence Community National Security Space Systems,
including ground systems for the next 30 years.
The Committee also expects the plan to include individual
acquisition plans that provide descriptions of the programs and
how these systems will meet the national security needs
described in the most recent Quadrennial Defense Review and
Space Posture Review. The report should also include the
estimated levels of annual funding necessary to carry out the
programs as well as a discussion of the acquisition strategies
on which such estimated levels of annual funding are based to
include both military and national intelligence funding.
Because the long-range space investment strategy is
dependent on the state of the space industrial base, the
Committee recommends the Department of Defense Cost Assessment
and Program Evaluation (CAPE) office continue with the current
studies and projects on the Space Industrial Base and begin
other industrial base analysis efforts such as shipbuilding.
The Committee directs the Secretary of the Air Force and
the Director of the National Reconnaissance Office, in
coordination with the Secretary of Defense and the Director of
National Intelligence, to deliver the 30-year Space System
Investment Strategy to the congressional defense and
intelligence committees by March 1, 2010. As necessary, the
report should contain a classified appendix.
Finally, the Committee also recognizes that good planning
requires good budgeting and oversight mechanisms. For the past
two years, the Committee has directed the Secretary of Defense
to create a major force program category for space. The
Committee expects that the space major force program will be
implemented by the submission of the fiscal year 2011 budget.
OPERATIONALLY RESPONSIVE SPACE FULL COST AND PERFORMANCE ACCOUNTING
Operationally Responsive Space (ORS) proposals are
currently not evaluated using Department of Defense oversight
mechanisms for assessing cost, schedule and performance as it
relates to requirements and investment strategies. The
Committee directs that all current and future ORS projects be
independently assessed as it pertains to performance against
validated Joint Requirements Oversight Council or Mission
Requirements Board requirements to assess the proposed
capabilities in relation to current acquisitions, existing
material solutions, laboratory initiatives, and tactics,
techniques and procedures. In addition, these proposals should
also be independently assessed by the Department's Cost
Assessment and Program Evaluation group for cost and schedule
reliability.
NATIONAL POLAR-ORBITING OPERATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL SATELLITE SYSTEM
The Committee remains concerned that the memorandum of
agreement (MOA) signed December 18, 2008 is not being adhered
to by the National Polar-orbiting Operational Environmental
Satellite System (NPOESS) Executive Committee participants.
Therefore, the Committee directs that none of the funds made
available to the Department of Defense for the NPOESS program
shall be obligated or expended until the Undersecretary of
Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics certifies in
writing to the congressional defense committees that the NPOESS
program is being managed in compliance with the Department of
Defense 5000-series acquisition guidelines and that the
participants are complying with the MOA signed on December 18,
2008. The Committee also expects the Department's Cost Analysis
and Program Evaluation group to perform an updated independent
review of the program cost estimate and schedule profile.
RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT, TEST AND EVALUATION, DEFENSE-WIDE
Fiscal year 2009 appropriation....................... $21,423,338,000
Fiscal year 2010 budget request...................... 20,741,542,000
Committee recommendation............................. 20,721,723,000
Change from budget request........................... -19,819,000
The appropriation provides funds for the research,
development, test and evaluation activities of the Department
of the Defense for defense-wide activities. The total amount
recommended in the bill will provide the following program in
fiscal year 2010:
HISTORICALLY BLACK COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES AND MINORITY INSTITUTIONS
The budget request proposed $15,164,000 for Historically
Black Colleges and Universities and Minority Institutions
(HBCU/MI). On February 6, 2009, a Federal Court of Appeals
decision ruled that the HBCU account was unconstitutional. The
``Rothe'' decision on 10 USC 2323 ended the program when it
ruled that 2323 was unconstitutional in its entirety. The
program is contingent upon an appeal by the Department of
Justice and the Department of Defense or the enactment of new
legislation that allows the Department of Defense HBCU/MI
program to continue.
In the absence of a final decision on the appeal, the
Committee rescinds $34,457,000, the amount remaining from the
fiscal year 2009 appropriation, and appropriates $49,621,000,
an amount equal to the amount rescinded, plus the amount
proposed in the budget request, plus an additional $9,400,000
recommended by the Committee. In total, the Committee
recommendation for HBCU/MI is $65,521,000.
VOICE ANALYSIS FOR TRUTH VERIFICATION AND DETECTION OF DECEIT
The Secretary of Defense shall provide a report to the
congressional defense committees on memos, letters, and After
Action Field Reports supporting the use of security level
technologies designed for truth verification and detection of
deceit through voice analysis. The report shall be submitted
not later than 90 days after enactment of this Act.
DEFENSE ADVANCED RESEARCH PROJECTS AGENCY
The Committee has included $3,048,054,000 for the Defense
Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), which is a decrease
of $200,000,000 from the fiscal year 2010 request and a
decrease of $81,970,000 from the amount appropriated in fiscal
year 2009. Based on historic under execution in several program
elements, the Committee has reduced this funding level.
MISSILE DEFENSE AGENCY REPORTING REQUIREMENTS AND JUSTIFICATION
MATERIALS
The budget justification provided by the Missile Defense
Agency (MDA) continues to be insufficient to conduct proper
oversight of MDA's programs. However, the Committee commends
the Agency for establishing the two new procurement lines that
were created in Public Law 110-369 and anticipates additional
adjustments to budget documentation to include an operation and
maintenance account in fiscal year 2011 and beyond. MDA
programs have historically changed significantly from the time
the budget is submitted to the time funding is appropriated,
making it extremely difficult to understand what is actually in
the budget on an annual basis. The justification materials must
provide more detailed schedules, quantities, and break-outs of
funding for each activity. MDA is directed to report according
to the existing acquisition laws to improve accountability and
transparency of the programs.
BALLISTIC MISSILE DEFENSE TEST AND TARGETS
In December 2008, the Director of the Missile Defense
Agency initiated a review of the entire Ballistic Missile
Defense test program. The Integrated Master Test Plan's primary
purpose is to establish and document the executable test
baseline program for fiscal years 2010 through 2015 including
testing beyond fiscal year 2015 to satisfy critical engagement
conditions and empirical measurement events data collection
requirements. To date the Integrated Master Test Plan has
neither been approved by the Missile Defense Agency, Joint
Interoperability Test Command, Joint Functional Component
Command-Integrated Missile Defense, nor the Army, Navy or Air
Force Operational Test and Evaluation Centers. The Committee is
aware and concerned that a test scheduled for fiscal year 2010
has already slipped to the first quarter of fiscal year 2011
and that target synchronization with the test schedule remains
an open issue. Therefore, the Committee has reduced the budget
request by $26,000,000 for a total of $940,752,000 available in
fiscal year 2010. Finally, of the funding provided,
$470,376,000 shall not be available for obligation until the
Director of the Missile Defense Agency provides notification of
its intent to obligate any additional funding above
$470,376,000 and receives prior approval of the congressional
defense committees.
ISRAELI MISSILE DEFENSE COOPERATIVE PROGRAMS
The Committee has provided an additional $82,800,000 for a
total of $202,434,000 for Israeli Missile Defense Cooperative
Programs and supports efforts to develop an upper-tier follow-
on to the Arrow Weapons System. After numerous changes to the
requirements of the program, the United States and Israel
continue to move forward in the development of the Arrow-3
Interceptor. The Committee understands that the Department is
currently discussing the project agreement with the Israeli
Ministry of Defense to make certain that the agreement will
contain clear knowledge points and a schedule that will outline
the development of the program. Once an agreement has been
reached, the Committee directs the Department to submit a
report to the congressional defense committees not later than
January 29, 2010, that outlines the agreed knowledge points,
schedule and an assessment of whether the program is currently
meeting the outlined milestones.
AEGIS BALLISTIC MISSILE DEFENSE
The Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) system is the
first mobile, global, deployable and proven capability that can
destroy missiles both above and within the atmosphere as well
as providing a forward-deployed surveillance capability in
support of homeland defense. However, the Committee is
concerned that there are large unobligated and unexpended
balances and that two tests planned, FTM-16 and FTX-08, have
the potential to slip into the first quarter of fiscal year
2011. Additionally, within the budget request six additional
ships are to be upgraded for BMD operations. However the
configuration for the upgrades has yet to be determined, and
the Block 5.2 Aegis BMD will incorporate a new missile type
which still needs to be determined. Therefore, the Committee
reduces the budget request by $50,000,000.
SPACE TRACKING AND SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM (STSS)
It is premature for the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) to
move forward with a follow-on STSS constellation until after a
successful launch and thorough analysis of the STSS
demonstrator data. Therefore, the Committee reduces the fiscal
year 2010 request by $20,000,000 and directs MDA to provide a
detailed report to the congressional defense committees not
later than 30 days after a successful launch of both satellites
has been completed.
KINETIC ENERGY INTERCEPTOR
The Committee is aware that the Kinetic Energy Interceptor
(KEI) has completed research and development of certain
technologies and that the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) is
determining how to make the best use of the current
technologies and their technical worth as well as the possible
benefits of integrating these developments with other MDA
programs. Therefore, the Committee has provided $80,000,000 to
enable the continuation of the program and the leveraging of
KEI products and expertise for early intercept capability and
other missile defense applications.
SEA-BASED X-BAND RADAR
The mission of the Sensors Program is to efficiently
develop, acquire, test, field and operate an integrated sensor
enterprise. However, the Committee is concerned that there are
large unobligated and unexpended balances after fiscal year
2009, the first year of execution for the program element. The
Committee is also concerned that GTD-04 has already slipped to
the first quarter of fiscal year 2011. Therefore, the Committee
has reduced the Sea-Based X-Band Radar request by $13,000,000.
GROUND BASED MID-COURSE DEFENSE
The Committee is concerned with the uncertainty of the
Missile Defense Agency's (MDA) plans regarding Ground Based
Mid-Course Defense (GMD). MDA currently plans to maintain a 30
missile fleet instead of a 44 missile fleet as indicated in
previous budget submissions. MDA estimates that emplacement of
the 30 Ground Based Interceptors, plus testing and
refurbishment, would actually require a total of 54
interceptors. With only 44 missiles currently under contract,
the Committee is concerned that, without knowledge of the
Department's position on GMD in fiscal year 2011 and beyond,
this could cause a break in the production line which would
increase any funding requirements in future budget submissions.
The Committee is concerned that MDA has not sufficiently
addressed future requirements for GMD and therefore directs MDA
to provide an unclassified report within 30 days of enactment
of this Act that specifies what is needed in order to continue
the industrial base. The report should include recommendations
from the prime contractor and a discussion of MDA's Analysis of
Alternatives based on U.S. Northern Command's ballistic missile
defense study provided to MDA in October 2008.

Committee recommendation.............................. 29,891,109,000
Change from the budget request........................ 1,987,946,000
This appropriation funds the Defense Health Program of the
Department of Defense. The total amount recommended in the bill
will provide the following program in fiscal year 2010:
DEFENSE HEALTH PROGRAM DIRECT (OR IN-HOUSE) CARE
The Department of Defense created the ``efficiency wedge''
to enable the Services to receive funding for increasing work
load that returned to the Military Treatment Facilities (MTFs).
The Committee is concerned that the Navy and Air Force are not
properly executing the efficiency wedge reimbursement and,
therefore, are not accurately budgeting for MTF costs. The Navy
and Air Force only used a small portion of the efficiency wedge
for the Direct Care Budget Activity Group (BAG) while
disseminating the majority of the funding to other BAGs,
research and development and military construction. This
demonstrates a lack of use of the MTFs by the Navy and Air
Force with more reliance on outside provided health care for
their populations. The Committee directs the Assistant
Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs to review whether or
not the efficiency wedge should be continued as a mechanism for
reimbursement in fiscal year 2011 and beyond. The Assistant
Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs should report on the
findings of this review within 30 days of enactment of this
Act.
In addition, the Committee directs the Department of
Defense to review budget execution data for all of the Defense
Health Program accounts and to adequately reflect changes to
the budget activities requested by the Services in future
budget submission beginning in fiscal year 2011 and beyond.
PRIVATE SECTOR CARE SHORTFALL
The Committee has been briefed on the funding shortfall
that exists in the fiscal year 2009 Private Sector Care Budget
Activity Group (BAG) for which the Department is using allowed
operation and maintenance carryover and prior approval
reprogramming authority to correct. The Committee has been made
aware of a similar shortfall in fiscal year 2010. The shortfall
is due to a workload increase for the Army, increased usage by
Active Duty, Reserve Components and their dependents, in
conjunction with the current economic situation and the lack of
pharmaceutical rebates collected by the Department for federal
pricing. The beneficiary population for TRICARE is currently
9.5 million beneficiaries while the budget is based on a 9.2
million beneficiary population. Therefore, the Committee has
provided an additional $1,281,716,000 to the Private Sector
Care BAG to help alleviate the shortfall in anticipation of the
Department collecting the $1,000,000,000 in rebates that are
currently owed. The Committee directs the Secretary of Defense
to report to the congressional defense committees by August 30,
2009, on the status of additional rebates that have been
collected.
CARRYOVER
The Committee has provided two percent carryover for
operation and maintenance funding for fiscal year 2010 and
directs the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs
to submit a detailed spend plan for fiscal year 2009 designated
carryover funds to the congressional defense committees 30 days
after enactment of this Act. Given the complex nature of the
Defense Health Program, the Committee expects the Department of
Defense and the Office of Management and Budget to be fiscally
responsible in budgeting for the Defense Health Program and
coordinate required justification material submitted to
Congress.
TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY AND PSYCHOLOGICAL HEALTH
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and psychological health
issues have emerged as a significant cause of death to the
warfighters in Iraq and Afghanistan. Whether mild, moderate or
severe brain injury, the level of assessment and standard of
care provided to the warfighter is in need of enhancement.
Diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation must be at a level to
ensure the best possible outcome. To this end, the bill
includes $500,000,000, which is $127,800,000 above the budget
request, to address all levels of brain injury and
psychological health issues that servicemembers and their
families experience.
The Department provides specialized treatment and
rehabilitation for brain injured troops, but much more is
needed. The Department is expected to continue to provide the
necessary care and treatment to servicemembers and their
families. The vast majority of disabled troops will ultimately
return to their home communities, which may be far removed from
specialized centers. Therefore, the identification of local
services is crucial to an appropriate rehabilitation plan. The
Department of Defense Military Centers and the Department of
Veterans Affairs should coordinate with civilian centers to
guarantee that optimal treatments and assistance are available
throughout the country.
The Committee is aware of gaps within TBI and psychological
treatment methods that need to be addressed. The Department is
expected to continue working with the Department of Veterans
Affairs, Department of Health and Human Services, academia and
industry to focus on the research and treatment necessary to
address the gaps that have been identified.
An area of particular interest is the provision of
appropriate and accessible counseling to servicemembers and
their families who live in locations that are not close to
military treatment facilities, other Military Health System
health facilities or TRICARE providers. Funding provided in
this bill is also to be used for the development and operation
of the Defense Center of Excellance (DCoE) and the various
centers, programs and initiatives that fall within its purview
and resources to support the service medical departments as
they continue to build and expand their TBI and psychological
health capacity through initiatives and supportive programs.
Other initiatives, such as telehealth, clinical standards
supporting TBI and psychological health, and training and
education outreach should also be included.
Funding has also been provided to continue medical research
and development on TBI and psychological health. The following
research topics are recommended for consideration under this
program: therapeutic drug discovery; optical imaging of blood
flow; headache disorders; research into neural prothesis;
studies of mental health disorders and Post Traumatic Stress
Disorder (PTSD) to include neuropsychiatric studies,
biochemical mechanisms that underlie human emotional reactions
to combat stress and resulting clinical disorders, metrics for
mental health assessment and methods to evaluate and improve
PTSD rehabilitation efforts; studies of Traumatic Brain Injury
(TBI) including basic research on neural injury treatments,
cell replacement and regrowth strategies, specific therapies to
prevent and reverse spinal cord and other neuro-traumatic
damage, pharmaceutical interventions to stimulate neural
circuits, ``activity-based'' physical therapy, and extended
rehabilitation focused on impairments in vision and cognitive
functioning; clinical research of blast-related cell damage and
the resulting effects on neurological response; 3D models of
IED blast waves to develop equipment to mitigate injury to
service members; a fully automated, self contained, disposable
chip to diagnose TBI at the point of onset; DA-EEG assessment
and MRI quantization to allow an accurate assessment of TBI;
computational approaches to integrate global transcriptomics
and proteomics information to indentify the biological networks
altered following TBI; studies of PTSD and/or TBI including
basic research in neurorehabilitation, the integration of
informatics, and advanced computational research to analyze
brain tissue and activities, the use of advanced neuroimaging,
behavioral and genetic information to develop biomarkers,
diagnostics, and treatments for semi-acute and chronic injury
stages. Funding provided for research and development shall
incorporate all aspects of research in the areas of TBI and
psychological health by conducting basic science and
translational research for the purposes of understanding the
etiology, developing preventive interventions and new
treatments, and evaluating the outcomes to arrive at best-
practice solutions. This requirement includes incorporating
training, combat theater operations, post deployment evidence-
based preventive and early intervention measures, practices, or
procedures to reduce the likelihood that personnel in combat
will develop PTSD or other stress-related conditions or sustain
traumatic brain injuries.
TRAVEL EXPENSES
The Committee is aware that from October 1, 2008, through
June 30, 2009, the Defense Center of Excellence for
Psychological Health and Traumatic Brain Injury recorded travel
expenses of $345,474.68. The Committee is concerned at the
amount of funding from the Defense Health Program, operation
and maintenance account that has been spent in only nine months
and that over $100,000 was spent from May 20, 2009, to June 30,
2009. With significant known shortfalls in the Defense Health
Program, the Committee directs the Office of the Secretary of
Defense for Health Affairs to curtail unnecessary and
extraneous travel and events. The Committee also directs Health
Affairs to justify the travel in a report to the congressional
defense committees on the dates, location and reason for travel
within 30 days of the enactment of this Act.
DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE ELECTRONIC HEALTH RECORD AND ENTERPRISE
ARCHITECTURE APPROACH
The fiscal year 2010 budget includes $1,584,700,000 for
information management and information technology. The
Department has been involved in development of an electronic
health care record (EHR) in conjunction with the Department of
Veterans Affairs (VA) since January 2009 and has agreed upon a
service oriented architecture (SOA) approach that is adaptive
to the changing world of health care and has inclusive
interoperability between the two agencies. A blueprint for the
SOA was finalized at the end of May 2009 and submitted to the
Office of the Secretary of Defense, Comptroller for review and
funding analysis on June 12, 2009. It is the Committee's
understanding that the additional funding needed to accelerate
completion and deployment of the SOA in 28 months, by February
2011, is $712,500,000 for fiscal year 2010 and $441,700,000 for
fiscal year 2011.
The Department of Health and Human Services was provided
funding in the stimulus package for electronic health care
record improvement across the civilian sector. The Committee is
concerned that the Department of Defense may now lag behind the
civilian entities and its ability to share electronic
information with the VA. The Committee also understands that
the Under Secretary of Defense, Comptroller is currently
reviewing internally what funds may be available to alleviate
the unfunded requirement in order to accelerate deployment of
the system. Therefore, the Committee directs the Secretary of
Defense to report to the Committees on Appropriations of the
House of Representatives and the Senate by September 14, 2009,
on the status of availability of funding from programs within
the Department of Defense.
GUIDANCE FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE FORCE (2010-2015)
The fiscal year 2010 budget submission included
$372,200,000 for traumatic brain injury, psychological health,
eye injury, prosthetics, and other battlefield injuries
research. The Committee has supported these types of research
since 2007 and is encouraged that the Department has for the
first time included funding for this type of research. The
Committee urges the Department to utilize the established
congressional directed medical research program and to work
with the U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command in
finding the most efficient way of utilizing the unique and
military relevant research available.
SPINAL CORD INJURY MEDICAL RESEARCH AND TREATMENT
Spinal cord injuries are one of the many serious wounds
resulting from conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan that require
many levels of research and treatment. Significant funding has
been provided for research and treatment for neuro-traumatic
wounds. However, given the complexity of these types of
injuries and the steep learning curve associated with
establishing effective treatment regimes, there is much more to
be done.
For the coming years, research into regenerating damaged
spinal cords, arthritis research, and improving rehabilitation
therapies offers real promise for enhancing the long-term care
of wounded soldiers. Therefore, the Committee provides
$15,000,000 to continue a competitive, peer-reviewed spinal
cord injury research and treatment program. The Secretary of
Defense is directed to submit a report to the congressional
defense committees not later than 120 days after enactment of
this Act on how these funds are to be allocated.
PEER-REVIEWED LUNG CANCER RESEARCH
The Committee has included $15,000,000 for peer-reviewed
lung cancer research. Lung cancer, continues to be the most
lethal of all cancers, taking more lives annually than all
other major cancers combined. The five year survival rate is
only 15 percent and a major contributor is that 70 percent of
the diagnoses are late stage. Furthermore, military personnel
have increased exposure to lung cancer carcinogens and are thus
more susceptible to lung cancer than the general population.
These funds, in conjunction with the funds provided in fiscal
year 2009, are primarily for an early detection program for
military beneficiaries. It is expected that this early
detection regimen will be initially implemented in Military
Medical Treatment facilities in the National Capital Region.
CENTERS OF EXCELLENCE AT WRAMC/WRNMMC
The Committee includes a total of $40,000,000 for the
following Centers of Excellence at the current Walter Reed Army
Medical Center: Breast Care, Gynecologic, Prostate, Pain and
Neuroscience, and Integrated Cardiac Health (Wellness). These
Centers are in the forefront of the advancement of modern
medical care.
It is encouraging that the Department has recognized the
importance of these centers to the welfare of our
servicemembers and their families and has included them in the
construction plans for the new Walter Reed National Military
Medical Center and provided a portion of funding in the fiscal
year 2010 budget submission. However, the Committee directs the
Secretary of Defense to include full funding for these centers
beginning with the fiscal year 2011 budget submission.
PEER-REVIEWED CANCER RESEARCH PROGRAM
The Committee provides $20,000,000 for a peer-reviewed
cancer research program that would research cancers not
addressed in the breast, prostate, lung and ovarian cancer
research programs currently executed by the Department of
Defense, and specifically the U.S. Army Medical Research and
Materiel Command (USAMRMC).
The funds provided are directed to be used to conduct
research in the following areas: melanoma and other skin
cancers, pediatric brain tumors within the field of childhood
cancer research, genetic cancer research and genomic medicine,
kidney cancer, blood cancer, colorectal cancer, Listeria
Vaccine for infectious disease and cancer, and radiation
protection utilizing nanotechnology.
The funds provided under the Peer-Reviewed Cancer Research
Program shall be used only for the purposes listed above. The
Department of Defense is directed to provide a report by
February 8, 2010, to the congressional defense committees on
the status of the peer-reviewed cancer research program as to
the relevance of this type of research for servicemembers and
their families.
VISION RESEARCH
The Committee commends the Department on including
operation and maintenance funding for the Vision Center of
Excellence however, the Department did not specifically
identify any funding for vision research and development to
continue assessing new technologies and therapies to address
the ocular issues of servicemembers. Current research targets
the causes, effects, and treatment of eye damage and diseases
that, despite their different mechanisms and pathogenesis, all
have a common end result: degeneration of the critical
components of the eye and impairment or loss of vision. In
order to implement therapeutic strategies to prevent or treat
visual problems common to combat soldiers, the Army needs to
develop and validate compounds and strategies. Therefore, the
Committee provides $5,000,000 for vision research and directs
the Army to target the various causes, effects and treatment of
visual injury resulting from exposures to the elements during
combat operations, and damage from explosive devices. This type
of research will ultimately be used to ensure and sustain
combat readiness.
JOINT PATHOLOGY CENTER
Section 722 of the National Defense Authorization Act of
2008 (Public Law 110-181) directs the Department of Defense to
continue maintenance and modernization of the Armed Forces
Institute of Pathology Tissue Repository and to utilize the
Repository for conducting activities in support of the Joint
Pathology Center established in the same Act. The Committee is
aware that in 2007 the Uniformed Services University of the
Health Sciences commissioned an assessment of the Repository
that resulted in specific recommendations for modernizing the
Repository by improving the quality and accessibility of the
collections contained therein. The Committee directs that
within 90 days of enactment of this Act, the Secretary of
Defense shall report to the congressional defense committees on
the status of implementation of those recommendations.
PEER-REVIEWED NEUROTOXIN EXPOSURE TREATMENT PARKINSON'S RESEARCH
PROGRAM
The United States Army Medical Research and Materiel
Command (USAMRMC) is advancing research in investigating the
underlying biologic mechanisms and therapeutic interventions of
neuro-degenerative effects caused by deployment, environmental
and occupational exposures. Therefore, $25,000,000 is
recommended for the continuation of this vital research and
other neurological disorders through collaborative work between
the military, a non-profit organization and an academic
laboratory with distinguished scientific credentials in this
field.
MEDICAL CARE IN THE NATIONAL CAPITAL REGION
The Committee has expressed concerns over whether the
current approach to the replacement hospitals at both the new
Walter Reed National Military Medical Center (WRNMMC) and Fort
Belvoir will result in ``world class'' hospitals, but even more
so will result in a ``world class'' medical care system in the
National Capital Region. At present there are 439,000
beneficiaries in the region and the two major Military Medical
Centers in the area, Walter Reed Army Medical Center and the
National Naval Medical Center, are the ``flagship'' hospitals
for their respective services.
The Committee has outlined concerns about the excessive
cost growth for the two new facilities, which has increased
from $835,000,000 to $2,400,000,000, the inadequate parking at
the new WRNMMC, ingress and egress challenges at both
facilities, and the transition of the workforce, patients, and
equipment from the current facilities to the new hospitals.
These are a few of the issues that currently remain and must be
addressed. The Joint Task Force National Capital Region Medical
established on September 14, 2007, has worked diligently to
make up for a lack of adequate prior planning. However the
Committee still believes these projects are primarily schedule
driven in order to meet the September 15, 2011 date and that
quality control measures to ensure minimal accreditation and
optimal configuration are being neglected.
The Committee recently received the congressionally
mandated independent review of the design plans for the Walter
Reed National Military Medical Center and the Fort Belvoir
Community Hospital titled ``Achieving World Class''.
A review of the report indicates it is truly comprehensive
and corroborates many of the concerns mentioned by the
Committee. Furthermore, it goes much further and surfaces
organizational, budgetary, and service related cultural
challenges that must be overcome if medical care in the
National Capital Region is to be truly ``world class''.
The Committee awaits the Secretary of Defense's 30 day
assessment of the findings and recommendations of the
independent review panel in accordance with provisions in the
Public Law 110-417 and the plans for addressing the findings
and recommendations.
VACCINE RESEARCH
The development of vaccines that can protect military
personnel against exposure from infectious pathogens as a
result of natural exposure or as a result of weaponized attacks
continues to be a high priority research area for the Walter
Reed Army Institute of Research (WRAIR). In order to enhance
WRAIR's capabilities, the Committee encourages collaborative
efforts with institutes of higher learning that possess state-
of-the-art laboratory equipment and containment facilities that
will ensure the rapid application of basic research results and
the development of vaccines necessary for the protection of
force health. These collaborative efforts will ensure that
WRAIR remains the premier biomedical and vaccine research and
development organization within the Department of Defense.
TRICARE OUTPATIENT PROSPECTIVE PAYMENT SYSTEM
The Committee is aware of concerns that the TRICARE
Outpatient Prospective Payment System (OPPS) implemented this
year include an appropriate transition period, especially for
hospitals with a high volume of TRICARE patients. The Committee
is aware that the Department made improvements to its initial
plan based on input received during the vetting process but
understands that there is still concern among high volume
hospitals. Therefore, the Committee directs the Department to
continue with multi-year phase-in adjustments to assist
hospitals in transitioning to a fair reimbursement system,
consistent with law, that will reimburse reasonable costs and
permit an appropriate return on investment.
UMBILICAL CORD BLOOD RESEARCH
Research has shown that cord blood transplantation can
achieve unique and striking results in treating leukemia,
lymphoma, and other cancerous blood diseases, immunodeficiency
syndromes, bone marrow failure syndromes, sickle cell anemia,
thalassemia and some inherited metabolic diseases. The
Committee is aware of a pilot project underway at Womack Army
Medical Center in Fayetteville, NC, in collaboration with the
Carolinas Cord Blood Bank and the National Cord Blood
Inventory, to create the nation's first military collection
site for cord blood. This initiative will increase the national
cord blood inventory and enhance the national capacity to
identify suitable transplant donors, particularly among
minority communities. The Committee commends the Womack Army
Medical Center and encourages the Army to consider extending
this pilot to all of its obstetrical healthcare facilities.

Fiscal year 2010 budget request....................... $564,850,000
Committee recommendation.............................. 364,550,000
Change from budget request............................ -200,300,000
This appropriation funds the Joint Improvised Explosive
Device Defeat Organization (JIEDDO).
The Committee recommends an appropriation of $364,550,000
for the Joint Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Organization.
The recommendation is a decrease of $200,300,000 from the
amount requested, and an increase of $364,550,000 from the
amount appropriated in fiscal year 2009.
The Committee is aware that JIEDDO has become a standing
institution of the Department of Defense. To this effect, the
Committee believes that sustaining costs, such as staff and
infrastructure and enduring science and technology initiatives,
should be funded in the budget. However, the Committee believes
that this funding should be properly accounted for and should
be given the same time limitations as traditional funding
accounts. Therefore, funds provided for the Attack the Network
line of operation are available for two years; funds provided
for the Defeat the Device line of operation are available for
three years; funds provided for the Train the Force line of
operation are available for one year; and funds provided for
the Staff and Infrastructure line of operation are available
for one year.
Furthermore, the Committee continues to direct JIEDDO to
follow standard reprogramming procedures when transferring a
cumulative amount of $20,000,000 or more between lines of
operation.

THE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY'S BUSINESS TRANSFORMATION OFFICE
The Committee appreciates the progress the Business
Transformation Office (BTO) has made in the last year to the
Intelligence Community's business systems and looks forward to
continued progress to address these issues. The Committee has
included a funding transfer of the Financial Improvement Group
to the BTO and the Committee supports the efforts made by BTO
in creating the May 2009 BTO strategy. The Committee is
concerned that recent changes to place the BTO under the Chief
Information Office may not result in the necessary level of
emphasis and attention to these issues by senior management
within the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and
within the Intelligence Community. The Committee requests that
the Director of National Intelligence review this recent change
and take the necessary steps to ensure that BTO initiatives are
successfully implemented. The Director of National Intelligence
is directed to report to the Committee on the actions taken to
ensure that these concerns are addressed.
The Committee remains concerned that the Office of the
Director of National Intelligence, the National Geospatial-
Intelligence Agency, the Central Intelligence Agency, the
National Security Agency, the Defense Intelligence Agency, and
the National Reconnaissance Office cannot receive unqualified
or ``clean'' financial audit opinions. This reality is even
more concerning considering the Intelligence Community spends
over a quarter billion dollars annually on ``financial
management,'' which does not include other business systems and
processes like procurement, human resources, or logistics.
Therefore, within 90 days of enactment of this Act, the
Committee directs the Director of National Intelligence to
submit a report that: 1) addresses the acquisition challenges
facing the Business Transformation Office; 2) explains where
the most efficient and secure place to store the Community's
business data will be for the foreseeable future; and 3) review
the process for hiring highly qualified experts and provide
recommendations that streamline the current bureaucratic
process to one that allows the Director of the Business
Transformation Office to efficiently build an effective staff.
Finally, the report should provide a target date when all
National Intelligence Program funds will achieve a sustainable
unqualified audit opinion.
INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY EDUCATION AND TRAINING STRATEGIC DESIGN
The Committee continues to be concerned with the lack of a
strategic plan when it comes to the Intelligence Community's
professional education curriculum and supporting training
programs. The current patchwork of academies, courses, language
training efforts and schools is the result of multiple programs
and initiatives instead of a coherent strategy. The Director of
National Intelligence needs to benchmark successful programs
like the Department of Defense's National Defense University
and develop an appropriate educational and professional
development strategy for the Intelligence Community that
creates an innovative and competitive 21st century professional
intelligence workforce. The Committee would like to see steps
taken to establish the Intelligence Community's cap-stone
school in a manner that takes best advantage of opportunities
for learning synergies and a transformative learning
environment with other national security students. Also, the
Committee directs that steps be taken to evolve the National
Defense Intelligence College to a fee-for-service program so
that both Congress and the executive branch can be assured that
there is still a true demand for the product being provided.
HUMAN LANGUAGE TECHNOLOGY
The Committee directs the Director of National Intelligence
to submit to the congressional intelligence committees within
120 days of enactment of this Act, a report on the status of
Human Language Technology (HLT) within the Intelligence
Community. The report shall identify an intelligence community
executive agent responsible for the coordination of research,
development, and implementation of HLT initiatives, identify
current HLT capabilities and their return on investment,
project future HLT requirements, and describe efforts to
implement community licensing.

TITLE IX
OVERSEAS DEPLOYMENTS AND OTHER ACTIVITIES
Committee Recommendation
In title IX the Committee recommends total new
appropriations of $128,246,985,000 in Iraq, Afghanistan and
elsewhere. A detailed review of the Committee's recommendations
for programs funded in this title is provided in the following
pages.
OVERSEAS CONTINGENCY OPERATIONS TRANSFER FUND
The Committee has reduced the Service's Overseas
Contingency Operations request for operation and maintenance
funding by 20 percent and has added an equal amount to the
Overseas Contingency Operations Transfer Fund (OCOTF). The
nature of military action in Operations Enduring Freedom and
Iraqi Freedom is expected to change significantly in fiscal
year 2010. Therefore, the Services cannot accurately budget for
these operations. The OCOTF account provides flexibility to
transfer funds to the needed appropriation account once costs
are known. The OCOTF account also carries the protection that
these funds cannot be used to correct poor base budget
decisions, such as underfunding military personnel pay
accounts.
CLASSIFIED ANNEX
The Committee's recommendations for intelligence activities
are published in a separate and detailed classified annex. The
intelligence community, Department of Defense and other
organizations are expected to fully comply with the
recommendations and directions in the classified annex
accompanying this Act.
REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
The Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a
report to the congressional defense committees within 30 days
of enactment of this Act on the allocation of the funds within
the accounts listed in this title. The Secretary shall submit
updated reports 30 days after the end of each fiscal quarter
until funds listed in this title are no longer available for
obligation. The Committee directs that these reports shall
include: a detailed accounting of obligations and expenditures
of appropriations provided in this title by program and
subactivity group for the continuation of military operations
in Iraq and Afghanistan and a listing of equipment procured
using funds provided in this title. The Committee expects that,
in order to meet unanticipated requirements, the Department of
Defense may need to transfer funds within these appropriations
accounts for purposes other than those specified in this
report. The Committee directs the Department of Defense to
follow normal prior approval reprogramming procedures should it
be necessary to transfer funding between different
appropriations accounts in this title.
Additionally, the Committee directs that the Department
continue to report incremental contingency operations costs for
Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom on a
monthly basis in the Cost of War Execution report as required
by Department of Defense Financial Management Regulation,
Chapter 23, Volume 12. The Department is encouraged to do
supplementary reporting via the Contingency Operations Status
of Funds report, but shall not terminate or replace the Cost of
War Execution report.
MILITARY PERSONNEL
The Committee recommends an additional appropriation of
$16,224,549,000 for Military Personnel.
To more accurately reflect the significant Military
Personnel costs of U.S. Overseas Contingency Operations, the
Committee recommendation has transferred some funding from
title I of this Act into title IX. The Committee recommends a
transfer of $56,383,000 in Special Pays for Military Personnel,
Army; $28,116,000 in Special Pays for Military Personnel, Navy;
$34,748,000 in Special Pays for Military Personnel, Marine
Corps; and $78,961,000 in Special Pays for Military Personnel,
Air Force. In addition, the Committee recommends an
undistributed transfer of $1,390,000,000 for Military
Personnel, Army; $419,000,000 for Military Personnel, Navy;
$292,000,000 for Military Personnel, Marine Corp; and
$331,000,000 for Military Personnel, Air Force.
The Committee's recommendations for each military personnel
account are shown below:
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
The Committee recommends an additional appropriation of
$88,006,525,000 for Operation and Maintenance accounts.
The Committee's recommendations for each operation and
maintenance account are shown below:
PROGRESS IN AFGHANISTAN
The Committee welcomes the administration's decision to
refocus U.S. military, diplomatic and development efforts on
Afghanistan after six years of conflict in Iraq. However, the
Committee is concerned about the prospects for an open-ended
U.S. commitment to bring stability to a country that has a
decades-long history of successfully rebuffing foreign military
intervention and attempts to influence internal politics. To
help ensure that U.S. operations in Afghanistan remain focused,
Congress requires the administration to submit a report every
180 days outlining the U.S. security, governance, development,
counter-narcotics and regional strategy in Afghanistan,
providing a detailed update on progress on these elements of
the U.S. strategy, and performance indicators for measuring the
results of our efforts. The Committee closely reviews the
``Report on Progress toward Security and Stability in
Afghanistan'', required by section 1230 of the 2008 National
Defense Authorization Act (Public Law 110-181), and finds it an
extremely useful oversight tool, particularly when delivered on
time. However, the Committee is concerned that absent from this
report is a discussion of how much time and resources the
United States will commit in Afghanistan if security and
stability remain out of reach, despite incremental success
toward achieving elements of the strategy the administration
has set forward. Accordingly, the Committee directs the
Secretary, in consultation with the National Security Advisor,
to include in the next report submitted in accordance with
section 1230 of Public Law 110-181 an assessment of the overall
prospects for lasting stability in Afghanistan given the
accomplishments and failures of the reporting period, the major
impediments toward success encountered during the reporting
period, and an estimation of the time table for assessing
success in Afghanistan given developments during the reporting
period.
COMMANDER'S EMERGENCY RESPONSE PROGRAM
The Committee has provided $1,300,000,000 for the
Commander's Emergency Response Program (CERP) in fiscal year
2010, a reduction of $200,000,000 below the request. Pursuant
to section 1212 of the House-passed National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010 (H.R. 2647), additional
funds are not authorized. Of the funds provided for CERP, the
Committee withholds $500,000,000 pending completion and
submission of the report described below.
While the Committee understands the value of CERP for our
combatant commanders, it is deeply concerned that CERP has
grown from an incisive counter-insurgency tool to an
alternative U.S. development program with few limits and little
management. The U.S. Army and U.S. Central Command have failed
to justify ever-growing CERP budget requests or to execute
proper management or oversight of those funds. Recent reports
indicate intense pressure on Provincial Reconstruction Teams
and combatant commanders to ``rush to spend'' hundreds of
millions of dollars in the last quarter of the fiscal year.
They have submitted a barrage of multi-million dollar CERP
proposals that seem designed primarily to ensure that that all
available funds are spent. The Committee is particularly
concerned that this practice could put the Department of
Defense in conflict with section 8004 of the fiscal year 2009
Defense Appropriations Act, which prohibits more than 20
percent of the appropriations in that Act limited for
obligation in the current fiscal year from being obligated in
the last two months of the year.
Given these concerns, the Committee believes a fundamental
review of CERP is now urgently required. Therefore, the
Committee directs the Secretary of Defense, in consultation
with the National Security Advisor, to conduct a thorough
review of CERP, its purpose, use and scope, and to report to
the congressional defense committees not later than 90 days
after enactment of this Act. That review and report should
include, at a minimum: a review and explanation of the process
by which CERP budget requests are generated and justified; a
review of the practice of obligating a significant amount of
CERP funding in the last quarter of the fiscal year; a review
of existing management and oversight of CERP funds by the
Department of the Army and CENTCOM that includes an assessment
of whether there are sufficient, appropriately-trained
personnel to oversee this program at both the department level
and in the area of operations; a separate assessment for Iraq
and Afghanistan of the goals, purpose and expected requirement
for CERP funds in the coming year; a separate assessment for
Iraq and Afghanistan of the appropriate use of CERP funds,
including an assessment of the appropriate mix of
infrastructure projects and smaller-scale humanitarian
projects; and a review of the appropriate relationship between
projects funded with CERP and development projects carried out
by the U.S. Agency for International Development.
COMMANDER EMERGENCY RESPONSE PROGRAM
MANAGEMENT AND OVERSIGHT
The Committee is concerned that the Department's plan to
significantly increase the use of CERP in Afghanistan does not
yet include an increase in the number of personnel qualified to
conduct proper oversight and management of those funds. The
Committee understands that Joint Contracting Command has
requested 28 additional contracting officers, though these are
not specifically dedicated to CERP. The Committee also
understands that three additional Joint Manning Document
billets to exclusively manage CERP have been requested and that
U.S. Forces--Afghanistan (USFOR-A) has a pending Request for
Forces seeking additional warranted Contracting Officers and
Civil Affairs specialists specifically to oversee CERP
projects. The Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to
report to the congressional defense committees within 30 days
of enactment of this Act on the status of these requests and
the number of additional personnel being deployed to
Afghanistan specifically in support of CERP.
COALITION SUPPORT FUNDS
The Committee has provided $1,540,000,000 for Coalition
Support Funds (CSF) for fiscal year 2010, $60,000,000 below the
requested level. This funding level takes into account the
current $120,000,000 monthly average of CSF reimbursements to
Pakistan and provides an additional $100,000,000 for CSF
payments to other key cooperating nations. While the Committee
strongly supports the anti-Taliban operations begun by
Pakistani security forces in Spring 2009, the Committee is
concerned about the impact of those operations on the size of
reimbursements requested by the Government of Pakistan under
CSF. While the Committee supports the use of CSF to reimburse
Pakistan for military operations conducted in support of U.S.
operations in Afghanistan, the Committee is concerned that CSF
will be used to fund Pakistani security operations undertaken
in response to the existential threat posed to that government
by indigenous Taliban and other insurgent forces. The Committee
urges U.S. Central Command and the Office of the Defense
Representative, Pakistan (ODRP) to work with the Government of
Pakistan to establish clear guidelines for the use of CSF that
avoid the use of American taxpayers' dollars to fund Pakistan's
internal counterinsurgency campaign.
GUANTANAMO BAY NAVAL BASE
The Committee has not provided the $100,000,000 requested
to support the relocation and disposition of individuals
detained at the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base. The Department of
Defense is still awaiting a decision by the Administration on
the future of the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, and
these funds are not needed at this time.
PROCUREMENT
The Committee recommends an additional appropriation of
$20,384,128,000 for Procurement. The Committee's
recommendations for each procurement account are shown below:
JAVELIN MISSILE
The budget request proposed $140,979,000 for Javelin
missiles. The Army received $109,327,000 in the Supplemental
Appropriations Act, 2009 for the procurement of approximately
550 missiles. However the Committee notes that only 83 missiles
were expended in combat operations in fiscal year 2008 and that
only 40 missiles had been expended through mid-fiscal year
2009. Accordingly, the Committee recommends funding of
$115,979,000 for Overseas Contingency Operations funding for
Javelin missiles, a reduction of $25,000,000 below the request.
TOW 2 MISSILE
The budget request included $59,200,000 for TOW 2 missiles.
The Army received $317,584,000 in the Supplemental
Appropriations Act, 2009, to fund the procurement of
approximately 6,200 missiles. However, the Committee
understands that only 262 TOW 2 missiles were expended in
fiscal year 2008 in Iraq and Afghanistan combined, and that TOW
2 expenditures for fiscal year 2009 are not expected to be
significantly higher. Accordingly, the Committee recommends
$34,200,000 in Overseas Contingency Operations funding for TOW
2 missiles, a reduction of $25,000,000 below the request.
SINGLE CHANNEL GROUND AND AIRBORNE RADIO SYSTEM (SINCGARS)
The budget request for Overseas Contingency Operations
proposed funding of $128,180,000 for SINCGARS radios in support
of combat operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. However, the
requirement for additional SINCGARS radios remains vague as the
Army adjusts requirements based on the decision by the
Secretary of Defense to support 45 Army brigade combat teams
instead of 48. Additionally, the Committee continues to have
concerns that the Army may not be taking full advantage of
advances in technology for tactical radios including greater
compliance with Joint Tactical Radio System technology.
Accordingly, the Committee recommends no funding for SINCGARS
radios.
FAMILY OF HEAVY TACTICAL VEHICLES (FHTV)
The budget request proposed $623,230,000 for the Family of
Heavy Tactical Vehicles. This funding line includes heavy
trucks ranging from Heavy Equipment Transporters to the Heavy
Expanded Mobility Tactical Truck. The Committee strongly
supports funding the trucks needed by units in the field and
for necessary training. However, the Committee understands that
the contract for the Heavy Equipment Transporter System (HETS)
M1070 Truck Tractor will be delayed until January 2011.
Accordingly, the Committee recommends funding of $520,750,000,
a reduction of $102,480,000 below the request, with no funding
for HETS Truck Tractors.
155MM LIGHTWEIGHT TOWED HOWITZER
The budget request proposed $54,000,000 for new 155mm
Lightweight Towed Howitzers. The Committee notes that Congress
provided $186,000,000 in the Supplemental Appropriations Act,
2009, $117,000,000 greater than the requested amount of
$69,000,000. Since the Committee advance funded this request in
the Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2009, the recommendation
provides no funding for Overseas Contingency Operations, a
reduction of $54,000,000.
MOTOR TRANSPORT MODIFICATIONS
The budget request proposed $10,177,000 for motor transport
modifications. The Committee notes that Congress provided
$38,355,000 in the Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2009,
$22,500,000 greater than the requested $15,855,000. Since the
Committee advance funded this request in the Supplemental
Appropriations Act, 2009, the recommendation provides no
funding for Overseas Contingency Operations, a reduction of
$10,177,000.
NATIONAL GUARD AND RESERVE EQUIPMENT
The recommendation for the National Guard and Reserve
Equipment Account is $500,000,000. Of that amount, $300,000,000
is for the Army National Guard; $50,000,000 for the Air
National Guard; $80,000,000 for the Army Reserve; $25,000,000
for the Navy Reserve; $20,000,000 for the Marine Corps Reserve;
and $25,000,000 for the Air Force Reserve to meet urgent
equipment needs that may arise this fiscal year. This funding
will allow the Guard and reserve components to procure high
priority equipment that will complement the combined State and
Federal missions.
MINE RESISTANT AMBUSH PROTECTED VEHICLE VIRTUAL TRAINER
The Committee provides $3,606,000,000 for the Mine
Resistant Ambush Protected Vehicle (MRAP) Fund. Because of the
large size and complexity created when operating an MRAP,
special training is needed. The services offer a specific
training course devoted to teaching servicemembers the
necessities of MRAP operation prior to conducting missions in
the new vehicle. Unfortunately, because many of the MRAP
Virtual Trainers (MRAP-VVT) have limited availability, many
pre-deploying National Guard units have little opportunity to
train on this equipment prior to movement overseas. Therefore,
of the funds provided, $25,000,000 shall be provided for Mine
Resistant Ambush Protected Vehicle Virtual Trainers.
RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT, TEST AND EVALUATION
The Committee recommends an additional appropriation of
$241,354,000 for Research, Development, Test and Evaluation.
The Committee's recommendations for each research, development,
test and evaluation account are shown below:
REVOLVING AND MANAGEMENT FUNDS
DEFENSE WORKING CAPITAL FUNDS
The Committee recommends an appropriation of $412,215,000
for the Defense Working Capital Fund accounts.

Fund. The Committee's recommendations for the Joint Improvised
Explosive Device Defeat Fund are shown below:
MINE RESISTANT AMBUSH PROTECTED VEHICLE FUND
The Committee recommends an additional appropriation of
$3,606,000,000 for the Mine Resistant Ambush Protected Vehicle
Fund.

Constitutional Authority
Clause 3(d)(1) of rule XIII of the Rules of the House of
Representatives states that:
Each report of a committee on a bill or joint
resolution of a public character, shall include a
statement citing the specific powers granted to the
Congress in the Constitution to enact the law proposed
by the bill or joint resolution.
The Committee on Appropriations bases its authority to
report this legislation from Clause 7 of Section 9 of Article I
of the Constitution of the United States of America which
states:
No money shall be drawn from the Treasury but in
consequence of Appropriations made by law . . .
Appropriations contained in this Act are made pursuant to
this specific power granted by the Constitution.
Comparison with the Budget Resolution
Clause 3(c)(2) of rule XIII of the Rules of the House of
Representatives requires an explanation of compliance with
section 308(a)(1)(A) of the Congressional Budget and
Impoundment Control Act of 1974 (Public Law 93-344), as
amended, which requires that the report accompanying a bill
providing new budget authority contain a statement detailing
how that authority compares with the reports submitted under
section 302 of the Act for the most recently agreed to
concurrent resolution on the budget for the fiscal year from
the Committee's section 302(a) allocation. This information
follows:

Note.--The amounts in this bill are technically in excess of the subcommittee section 302(b) allocation.
However, section 423(a)(1) of the Concurrent Resolution on the Budget for fiscal year 2010 authorizes an
increase to the Committee's section 302(a) allocation to reflect funding in the reported bill for overseas
deployments and other activities. After the bill is reported to the House, the Chairman of the Committee on
the Budget will provide an increased section 302(a) allocation consistent with the funding provided in the
bill. That new allocation will eliminate the technical difference prior to Floor consideration.
Five-Year Outlay Projections

Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974
(Public Law 93-344), as amended, the following table contains

Disclosure of Earmarks and Congressionally Directed Spending Items
The Committee has taken unprecedented action to increase
transparency and reduce funding for earmarks. In fiscal year
2009, this bill reduced earmarks by 42 percent from the fiscal
year 2006 level. The bill continues to reduce earmarks in
fiscal year 2010. For fiscal year 2010, earmarks are expected
to be 50 percent below the fiscal year 2006 level. It should
also be noted that under the policies adopted by the Committee,
member earmarks will no longer be provided to for-profit
entities as a functional equivalent of no-bid contracts. In
cases where the Committee is funding an earmark designated by a
member 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 Department, but with the possibility
that an alternative entity may be selected.

ADDITIONAL VIEWS OF REPRESENTATIVES JERRY LEWIS AND C.W. BILL YOUNG ON
THE FISCAL YEAR 2010 DEFENSE APPROPRIATIONS BILL
The fiscal year 2010 Defense Appropriations bill, as
reported out of the Appropriations Committee is an example of
the bipartisan work that this Committee is capable of
producing. In the longstanding tradition of the Defense
Subcommittee, the Chairman and Ranking Member worked together
as true partners to produce a bill that the Committee can be
proud of. Chairman Murtha fully included the minority in the
development of these funding recommendations. He treated us
fairly, listened to our concerns, and found acceptable
solutions when needed. We greatly appreciate his comity and
bipartisanship, and strongly support the passage of this bill.
The President's fiscal year 2010 request for Defense
funding, however, was completely inadequate. While other non-
defense budgets received an average increase of 12 percent,
some reaching as high as 33 percent, the Defense increase was
barely 4.6 percent--and 1.5 percent of that was merely a shift
of supplemental funding to the base budget. We feel that the
President should not be shortchanging the troops during a time
of war, especially as he asks for as many as 22,000 additional
soldiers to help relieve the stress created by the renewed
efforts in Afghanistan. This committee has long been a leading
supporter of our military and remains committed to providing
our men and women in uniform the resources they need to do the
job our country is asking of them. Unfortunately, however, this
bill, while providing $508 billion for the Department of
Defense, is $3.5 billion below the amount requested by the
President. While we must be fiscally responsible, we also must
provide for and take care of our troops and their families--
especially in a time of war.
We believe Chairman Murtha has indeed done the best he
could with what little resources he had. Despite the reduced
allocation, the bill provides funding for a 3.4 percent
military pay raise; it funds $1.3 billion in unexpected Defense
Health Program shortfalls without increasing fees or premiums;
and continues our investment in the National Guard and Reserve
with an additional $500 million. The bill also invests in the
future of the Department, while addressing immediate needs. It
accelerates the Navy's plan for a 313 ship fleet with an
additional Littoral Combat Ship and Joint High Speed Vessel;
and advances our investment in aircraft across the Department
with advance procurement for 12 F-22s and 30 F-18s, and full
funding for 3 C-17s, 28 F-35s and 9 additional F-18s above the
request.
Unfortunately, the bipartisan nature that marked our
interactions at the subcommittee and full committee levels in
developing this bill, are likely to come to a sudden end during
Rules Committee consideration. While we have little hope of
seeing a return to regular order on the House floor this
legislative season, we continue to urge our colleagues in the
majority to allow the democratic process to proceed past
committee markup. The practice of imposing closed or
``structured'' rules upon our bills once they reach the House
floor denies Members of both parties who are not on the
Appropriations Committee their due opportunity, and really
their responsibility, to debate the bill and represent the
interests of their constituents. There is no reason we should
not consider the Defense bill, a bill with strong bipartisan
support, under an open rule with an acceptable unanimous
consent agreement in a day or two.
GUANTANAMO BAY
This January, the President signed the executive order to
close the Guantanamo Bay Detention Facility. More than five
months later there is still no evidence of a plan to carry out
this order, and there has been no consultation with the
Congress. In fact, just this week the Administration announced
that they are extending their Detention Policy Task Force for
another six months, because they were not able to sort it all
out within the President's timetable. Despite these
difficulties, the suspected plotter of the 1998 Embassy
bombings in Africa has already been moved to New York to face
trial. The Government of Palau has announced that they will
accept some Uighur detainees, and press accounts linked that
action to a $200 million payoff by the U.S. Government that the
State Department will not confirm or deny. Finally, four Uighur
detainees have already been released to Bermuda. Congress and
the American public found out about these actions and
diplomatic efforts after the fact.
And there is more--detainee transfers have also been made
to Saudi Arabia, Chad, and Iraq. We have heard rumors about
deals with Yemen, Italy, and Albania. All of this is being done
without an assessment of the risks to American people at home
and abroad, or an assessment of risk to our U.S. forces,
especially since the detainees at Guantanamo include the
perpetrators of some of the most horrific terrorist acts
against Americans, including 9/11, the USS Cole bombing, and
the Embassy bombings in Africa.
Director Mueller of the FBI testified to Congress that
bringing these detainees to the U.S. poses risks to national
security, including providing financing, radicalizing others,
and undertaking attacks in the U.S. Additionally, the
Department of Defense has reported that at least 14 percent of
former Guantanamo detainees have returned to terrorist
activity. This Administration is ignoring or disregarding those
risks, and they continue to stonewall the Congress. We need to
stop the Administration from rushing to transfer or resettle
detainees simply to fulfill a campaign promise.
We commend Chairman Murtha for the inclusion of Ranking
Member Lewis's Guantanamo language in the Managers Amendment.
This language, which contains the same requirements in the
Commerce/Justice/Science bill that prohibits release or
permanent transfer of detainees to the U.S. and requires a risk
assessment prior to any transfer for purposes of prosecution,
and the language in the Interior bill that expands those
restrictions to U.S. territories, has enjoyed bipartisanship
support during the Fiscal Year 2010 Appropriations Process. It
ensures that the Administration cannot act unilaterally and
ignore the concerns of the Congress on such an important
matter.
F-22
The bill, as approved by voice vote in the Subcommittee and
Full Committee, includes $368.8 million for the advanced
procurement of long lead items for 12 new F-22 aircraft.
Despite the threat of a veto of any bill that includes
additional F-22 funding from the President, we fully support
buying additional F-22s--the most advanced fighter aircraft in
the world. We understand that our current military engagements
do not necessarily require such an advanced aircraft, but we
also understand that future conflicts cannot be predicted with
any certainty. Today's enemy will not be tomorrow's enemy.
Further, future adversaries are not holding back on developing
and procuring the most advance weapon systems they can . . .
why should the United States?
Despite pledges that the conclusion was risk-based, the
Defense Department's decision to stop F-22 production at 187
aircraft is as much about affordability as anything. They state
that the future of Defense tactical aircraft is the F-35 Joint
Strike Fighter (JSF), and do not want to trade JSF funding for
additional F-22s. While a perfectly capable aircraft, the JSF
program remains in a developmental stage. In fact, a recent GAO
report on the JSF highlighted that ``an independent joint DOD
cost estimating team identified a need for as much as $7.4
billion in additional funding for development through fiscal
year 2005 and a three-year schedule extension. This would
increase total system development costs to $51.8 billion--a 17
percent increase from the estimate from December 2007--and
delay completion of development to October 2016.'' We should
not stop production of the only fifth generation aircraft until
we have at least finished development and are confident in the
JSF abilities and reliability.
In fact, Air Force leadership has repeatedly stated that
stopping production of F-22s at 187 aircraft represents a
medium to high risk level. For years the Air Force maintained
that the minimum number of aircraft required to meet strategic
national security goals was 381. That position, in part, cost
the top civilian and military leaders of the Air Force their
jobs. We believe those Air Force leaders had it right. We
believe Chairman Murtha has it right. Additional F-22s are
needed. Why would we jeopardize the safety and security of our
nation simply over budget calculations? Of all the areas in the
Federal budget that we should support, this is it!
CONCLUSION
This is a good bill, put together in the best example of
bipartisanship. We appreciate being treated as true partners in
the process. Despite the reduced allocation, Chairman Murtha
did the best he could, with the resources he had. We strongly
support the bill and encourage its quick passage through the
traditional open amendment process.
Jerry Lewis.
