                          Purpose of the Bill

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

                  Summary of Committee Recommendation

    The Committee recommends $141,104,146,000 in budget 
authority for the fiscal year 2011 programs and activities 
funded in the bill. In addition, advance appropriations of 
$50,610,985,000 are provided for fiscal year 2012 medical 
programs of the VA. The fiscal year 2011 recommendation is an 
increase of $6,536,846,000 above the fiscal year 2010 enacted 
level and the same as the President's request. Included in this 
amount is $63,849,146,000 in mandatory budget authority and 
$77,255,000,000 in discretionary budget authority, which 
includes $1,257,000,000 in emergency funding for Overseas 
Contingency Operations.
    The recommendation reflects the Committee's continued 
commitment to our servicemembers and veterans and to their 
families. The total funding level for military construction, 
including Overseas Contingency Operations, is $20,004,368,000, 
an 18.9 percent decrease below the fiscal year 2010 enacted 
level. A significant portion of this decrease is attributed to 
the reduction in BRAC 2005 program requirements. The overall 
level of funding supports the servicemen and women and their 
families who are making sacrifices during this time of war. The 
programs funded in the bill for the Department of Defense 
address the numerous challenges we have asked our military to 
accomplish simultaneously. These funds support an increase in 
troop strength for both the Army and Marine Corps, continue the 
cleanup of military bases closed during previous Base 
Realignment and Closure rounds, resource the military's global 
re-stationing plan, and ensure that our military personnel and 
their families' quality of life is preserved within these 
plans.
    The total funding level available for fiscal year 2011 for 
the Department of Veterans Affairs is $120,812,964,000, an 
increase of 10.2 percent over the fiscal year 2010 enacted 
level. The Committee recommendation supports the budget 
increases requested by the Department to improve access to care 
for all veterans, increase services for homeless veterans, and 
expand research programs. The recommendation provides funding 
increases for several veterans benefits programs, as authorized 
by current law, including additional education benefits which 
became effective late in fiscal year 2009. The recommendation 
provides funding to improve administration of these benefit 
programs, including an additional 4,048 permanent claims 
processors to address the growing veterans claims processing 
backlog, as well as the increase in average processing time for 
an initial claim. In addition to appropriations for fiscal year 
2011, the Committee recommendation includes $50,610,985,000 in 
advance appropriations for fiscal year 2012 for the three 
medical accounts of the Department.
    The following table compares amounts recommended in the 
bill to the President's request and amounts appropriated in 
fiscal year 2010:



                  Management and Oversight Initiatives

    The effective stewardship of taxpayer dollars is of the 
highest priority. In the interest of eliminating waste, fraud, 
and abuse in Federal programs, the Committee has and will 
continue to use public hearings, briefings and information 
requests, and reviews by the Government Accountability Office 
and the Inspectors General to promote strong financial and 
program management, oversight and leadership at the Department 
of Defense, the Department of Veterans Affairs, and other 
agencies under the jurisdiction of this bill.
    The fiscal year 2011 appropriations Act and the 
accompanying report address management challenges of the 
Federal agencies funded in, including directives to strengthen 
financial and program management, eliminate redundancy, and 
improve implementation and oversight of initiatives that 
support the mission of this bill. The Committee will use every 
means at its disposal to reduce mismanagement that results in 
waste, fraud, and abuse.
    Department of Defense (DOD).--In addition to the 
notification and reporting requirements for military 
construction programs contained in Title 10, United States 
Code, the Committee's recommendations include several 
provisions requiring the Department of Defense to report on 
various aspects of military construction programs, or to 
provide notification to the Committee when certain actions are 
taken. The Committee also retains prior approval authority for 
any reprogramming of funds exceeding a specific threshold. 
Finally, the Committee includes a provision under Military 
Construction, Army in Title IV (Overseas Contingency 
Operations) directing that $10,000,000 shall be made available 
by transfer to the Department of Defense Inspector General for 
the purpose of auditing military construction projects in 
Afghanistan.
    The Committee is concerned by data provided by the Defense 
Energy Support Center (DESC) showing an upward trend in the 
number of fuel spills at facilities owned by the Department of 
Defense. According to DESC, 57 percent of these spills between 
1996 and 2009 were attributed to infrastructure or equipment 
failure. The Committee urges the Secretary of Defense and the 
Director of the Defense Logistics Agency to devote sufficient 
military construction resources to recapitalize at-risk fuel 
infrastructure to help reverse this upward trend in fuel 
spills.
    Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).--With the 
$120,812,964,000 provided for the VA in this bill and the 2.9 
percent increase in the number of veterans seeking VA medical 
services, the Committee believes it is important to strengthen 
its tools to monitor spending as well as the skills and 
operating procedures of the VA workforce. The following 
initiatives demonstrate the Committee's oversight focus:
     Strengthening contract oversight. The bill 
includes $23,584,000 to strengthen VA acquisitions management. 
While VA contract funding has grown substantially since 2001, 
the capacity of the acquisition workforce has not kept pace, 
leading to increased risk of higher costs and unsuccessful 
contract outcomes. This funding supports a five percent 
increase in acquisition personnel and invests in appropriate 
training and technology to make the workforce more effective in 
managing taxpayer dollars.
     Claims backlog reduction. The bill includes an 
increase of $460,000,000 for the Veterans Benefits 
Administration to add 4,048 permanent staff to address the 
unacceptably large and growing veterans disability claims 
backlog. The Department's annual claims receipts are expected 
to grow from 1,013,712 in 2009 to 1,318,753 in 2011, an 
increase of over 30 percent. In conjunction with efforts to 
develop automated solutions, the additional staff will help to 
resolve veterans' claims more accurately and in a more timely 
manner. While the Department anticipates an initial increase in 
the average time to process a claim (190 days) due to increases 
in the number of claims being filed, as the new personnel 
become more proficient and better trained, the Department 
expects to meet its strategic target of 125 days to process 
claims in the future.
     Claims processing review. In order to address the 
problems and delays the VA encounters in processing claims, the 
Committee directs the Government Accountability Office to 
review the process the Social Security Administration uses to 
administer its disability claims processing to determine 
whether t are efficiencies and best practices that the VA could 
adapt to improve disability claims processing.
     Redirecting IT funding. Given the large amounts of 
funding for information technology systems the VA projects will 
remain unobligated at the end of both fiscal years 2010 and 
2011, the Committee reduces funding in this account by 
$85,000,000 and applies the funding to other areas of high 
priority in the VA.
     Reserve fund controls. The Committee is concerned 
about the VA's use of a national reserve fund, which captures 
significant VA resources. In fiscal year 2009, the reserve fund 
exceeded $641,000,000. The Committee includes bill language 
requiring the VA to notify the Committee within thirty days of 
enactment of this Act of the planned allocation from each 
appropriation account to the reserve fund and any subsequent 
increases in these allocations of ten percent or more, as well 
as requiring fifteen day advance notification before 
obligation, and notification of the intended use, of the 
reserve funds.
     Bid savings control. The VA has considerable 
flexibility in allocating funding for major construction 
projects. Once funding is appropriated for a particular 
construction project, the Committee has received little or no 
useful information about the ongoing status of the project, 
including whether any bid savings have been realized by the VA 
when contracts are awarded. The Committee includes bill 
language requiring the VA to notify the Committee of all bid 
savings totaling $5,000,000 or more, or five percent, whichever 
is less, within 14 days of obligation. Additionally, the VA is 
required to notify the Committee prior to any change in the 
scope of major construction projects.

                      Recovery Act Accomplishments

    Military Construction.--The Department of Defense (DOD) 
received $2,880,000,000 in military construction and family 
housing funds from the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment 
Act to provide additional quality of life facilities for 
service members and their families, invest in energy 
conservation and alternative energy production, and assist 
military homeowners adversely affected by the crisis in the 
housing market. Key DOD investments are:
     25 new child development facilities to serve more 
than 4,500 military dependents.
     2 new military hospitals at Camp Pendleton, 
California, and Fort Hood, Texas, two of DOD's key land force 
generating installations.
     26 projects to construct or improve family 
housing, provide unaccompanied housing, or establish facilities 
for wounded warrior care.
     58 projects to improve energy conservation on 
military installations, or increase energy production from 
renewable sources, such as wind, solar, and geothermal.
    Veterans Affairs.--The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) 
has seized the opportunities provided by $1,400,000,000 from 
the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act to improve the 
quality of services provided to veterans, while creating over 
4,100 jobs and stimulating the economy. Funds have been 
committed for:
     Over 1,000 non-recurring maintenance projects for 
medical facilities to provide renovations, renewable energy 
sources, energy conservation, disabled accessibility, and 
safety and security improvements. These efforts will make 
medical facilities safer, more energy efficient, and better 
suited to provide veterans with comprehensive care.
     Almost 400 improvement projects at national 
cemeteries maintained by the VA, including national shrine 
projects, initiatives to conserve energy and water, repairs to 
historic monuments, and repairs of roads, bridges, and other 
cemetery infrastructure.
     Hiring 2,300 surge claims processors to assist in 
expediting disability claims to increase production of claims 
and shorten the number of days taken to resolve claims. This 
workforce is urgently needed to help with the continued 
increase in applications and the coming wave of Agent Orange 
presumptive disability claims.
     Close to 50 new construction and renovation 
projects for State veterans homes, resulting in an estimated 
1,100 new beds for residents and important infrastructure and 
security upgrades.
     VA staff to provide the one-time $250 economic 
recovery benefit to eligible veterans and their survivors to 
mitigate the effects of the economy.

                           Items of Interest

    Advance Appropriations.--The Committee recommendation, for 
the second year, includes an advance appropriation for the 
Medical Services, Medical Support and Compliance, and Medical 
Facilities accounts. The goal of this advance appropriation is 
to provide the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) with 
reliable and timely funding to ensure that the delivery of 
medical care to America's veterans is not disrupted. The 
provision of an advance appropriation is only the first step in 
this process. The VHA is directed to plan and publish the 
distribution of this funding prior to the beginning of the 
fiscal year so that medical center directors are prepared to 
execute the funding on October 1st, the first day of the new 
fiscal year. The Committee directs the Department to include in 
its budget submission the budget plan for the advance 
appropriation provided in the previous year's bill, including 
the amount of funds that will be allocated in accordance with 
the Veterans Equitable Resource Allocation (VERA), and the 
Committee expects funding provided by advance appropriations to 
be made available to the Veterans Integrated Service Networks 
on October 1st. The Committee further directs the Department to 
include in its budget submission a current services estimate 
for the advance appropriation for the Medical Services, Medical 
Support and Compliance, and Medical Facilities accounts.
    Reductions.--In order to invest in the critical priorities 
identified in this bill, and in an effort to build an economy 
on a solid foundation for growth and put the Nation on a path 
toward prosperity, the Committee has proposed herein a number 
of program reductions from the fiscal year 2010 level totaling 
over $6,100,000,000. In addition, nearly $1,000,000,000 in 
other program reductions from the budget request are 
recommended. These adjustments, no matter their size, are 
important to setting the right priorities within the spending 
allocation, for getting the deficit under control, and creating 
a government that is as efficient as it is effective.

                                TITLE I


                         DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE


                     Military Construction Overview





Fiscal year 2010 enacted level (including rescissions)   $12,720,031,000
Fiscal year 2011 budget request.......................    13,825,563,000
Committee recommendation in the bill..................    13,725,563,000
Comparison with:
    Fiscal year 2010 enacted level....................     1,005,532,000
    Fiscal year 2011 budget request...................     (100,000,000)


    Military construction accounts provide funds for new 
construction, construction improvements, planning and design, 
and host nation support. Projects funded by these accounts 
include facilities for operations, training, maintenance, 
research and development, supply, medical care, and force 
protection, as well as unaccompanied housing, utilities 
infrastructure, and land acquisition.
    The Committee recommends a total appropriation of 
$13,725,563,000 for Military Construction, an increase of 
$1,005,532,000 above the fiscal year 2010 enacted level and a 
decrease of $100,000,000 below the budget request.
    Role of military construction in supporting job growth and 
the economy.--The Committee notes that, according to Department 
of Defense (DOD) ``Green Book'' data, the combined amount of 
military construction funding recommended in this bill and 
appropriated during the three preceding fiscal years is 
greater, in constant dollars, than the total for any four-year 
period extending back to fiscal year 1948. Military 
construction and family housing projects are requested by the 
Administration and approved by Congress first and foremost to 
meet military operational needs and improve the quality of life 
for service members and their families. At the same time, such 
funding has helped to support construction industry employment 
during a period when the construction sector suffered a net 
loss of nearly 2 million jobs. The Associated General 
Contractors of America estimates that each $1,000,000,000 in 
non-residential construction funding creates or sustains 28,500 
jobs.
    Quadrennial Defense Review/Nuclear Posture Review.--The 
Committee notes that the reports of the 2010 Quadrennial 
Defense Review (QDR) and the Nuclear Posture Review (NPR) 
contain a number of new programs and initiatives with potential 
impact on military construction requirements. Among these 
programs and initiatives are:
          --The creation of a new U.S. Cyber Command, a sub-
        unified command under U.S. Strategic Command;
          --Increasing the ``resiliency'' of forward posture 
        and overseas base infrastructure, including the 
        ``hardening'' of key facilities;
          --The full ``normalization'' of tours for U.S. Forces 
        Korea, requiring infrastructure to accommodate as many 
        as 14,000 military families, compared to less than 
        2,000 prior to adoption of this policy;
          --The implementation of a new phased, adaptive 
        approach to ballistic missile defense;
          --The retention of four Army brigade combat teams and 
        a corps headquarters in the European Command area of 
        responsibility, pending adoption of a new NATO 
        Strategic Concept and a review of the U.S. posture 
        network in Europe;
          --The stand-up of two new Army combat aviation 
        brigades, and the conversion of one heavy brigade 
        combat team to a Stryker brigade combat team by 2013;
          --The exploration of potential new modes to base the 
        Minuteman III Intercontinental Ballistic Missile force; 
        and
          --The creation of National Guard Homeland Response 
        Forces in each of the ten Federal Emergency Management 
        Agency regions.
    The Committee believes it is essential to ensure that the 
initiatives called for by the QDR/NPR are matched by the 
necessary resources in DOD budget plans, and therefore directs 
the Secretary of Defense to include a report along with the 
fiscal year 2012 military construction budget request 
describing how proposed QDR/NPR programs and initiatives are 
funded in the accompanying Future Years Defense Program (FYDP) 
for military construction, including dollar amounts associated 
with specific projects. The report shall also include a 
description of any ongoing studies or reviews specifically 
bearing on military construction that follow directly from QDR/
NPR decisions or proposals, including estimated completion 
dates. This report shall be submitted to the Congressional 
defense committees no later than 14 days following submission 
of the Administration's budget request for fiscal year 2012.
    Report on youth programs and youth centers.--At an April 
14, 2010 hearing on the quality of life for military personnel 
and their families, the Committee heard testimony from the 
senior non-commissioned officers of all four service branches, 
as well as representatives from the National Military Family 
Association and the Military Child Education Coalition. 
Testimony received during this hearing indicated that the 
children of military families are under tremendous stress due 
to the frequency and duration of overseas deployments since 
2001, and that older children experience greater problems. It 
is questionable whether DOD's existing goal of meeting 35 
percent of youth program demand is adequate to ensuring that 
older school-age military dependents are well supported in the 
absence of one or more caregivers. The Committee therefore 
directs the Secretary of Defense to submit a report on youth 
programs and youth centers to the Committees on Appropriations 
of both Houses of Congress. This report shall encompass, at 
minimum: (1) how the Department of Defense determines youth 
center demand and capacity; (2) the means by which capacity is 
increased, including specific reference to facilities; (3) the 
extent to which non-appropriated fund programs provide for 
youth center facilities; and (4) existing unfunded requirements 
for youth center construction. This report shall be submitted 
no later than March 1, 2011.
    Guard and Reserve Initiative.--The Committee recommends 
$200,000,000 for a Guard and Reserve initiative to address 
urgent unfunded requirements for the Army National Guard, Air 
National Guard, Army Reserve, Navy Reserve, Marine Corps 
Reserve, and Air Force Reserve. The Committee recognizes the 
critical contribution made by reserve component personnel to 
disaster assistance, homeland security, and national defense, 
including the burdens borne by the Guard and Reserve to support 
Overseas Contingency Operations. The Committee also 
acknowledges that the transition to an Operational Reserve 
force will increase requirements for military construction in 
order to provide adequate training, supply, maintenance, 
billeting, and quality of life facilities for Guard and Reserve 
personnel. The Committee has included language directing that 
spending plans be submitted for the funds provided no later 
than 30 days after the enactment of this Act.
    Army Trainee Troop Housing Initiative.--The Committee 
recommends an additional $190,000,000 for Army trainee troop 
housing facilities to address the unfunded backlog of 
modernization requirements. This added funding will nearly 
double the Army's request of $191,000,000 for this purpose. The 
Army has an estimated need for 115,413 trainee barracks spaces, 
only 57,753 of which will be deemed adequate as of the end of 
fiscal year 2010. The current Army program projects that the 
full amount of $1,728,000,000 in military construction funding 
needed to complete modernization will not be in place until 
fiscal year 2015, with occupancy scheduled for 2017. The 
Committee therefore recommends these additional funds to 
accelerate this program, and has included language directing 
the Army to submit a spending plan for these funds no later 
than 30 days after the enactment of this Act.
    Guam.--The Committee recommends $153,940,000, a reduction 
of $272,938,000 from the request of $426,878,000, for 
construction in support of the realignment of Marine Corps 
forces from Okinawa to Guam, in addition to $139,300,000 in 
other military construction projects on the island. The 
Committee remains supportive of the realignment of Marine Corps 
forces from Okinawa to Guam. At the same time, the Committee 
has serious concerns about the Department of Defense (DOD) 
proceeding with the full amount of requested military 
construction work for the realignment pending: (1) DOD's 
ability to respond satisfactorily to weaknesses in the Draft 
Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) raised by the 
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA); (2) substantial progress 
to address civilian infrastructure impacts ``outside the fence 
line''; and (3) a clearer understanding of the Department's 
introduction of a new ``resiliency'' cost variable of uncertain 
impact in the QDR.
    The Committee believes that the DEIS has very limited value 
with respect to providing a realistic depiction of how the Guam 
buildup would proceed. The DEIS does not formally consider any 
alternatives that would extend construction and/or the 
relocation of personnel and assets past 2014; rather, the DEIS 
concedes that ``Although the desired completion date for Marine 
forces relocation is by 2014, the construction would likely 
continue to 2016.'' Even this timeline is likely to prove too 
optimistic; while the DEIS assumes that ``2014 is the last year 
that any new construction would begin'', the Navy's FYDP 
clearly shows significant military construction (including 
unspecified quality of life and base operations facilities) 
associated with the Marine forces relocation programmed for 
fiscal year 2015, likely pushing the completion date for 
construction to 2017 and beyond. This fundamental disconnect on 
the target completion date between the U.S.-Japan agreement, 
the DEIS, and the FYDP leaves doubt regarding the most 
realistic and feasible timeline for the Guam buildup.
    The EPA has raised a number of serious concerns regarding 
the quality of the DEIS, especially in relation to the 
cumulative impacts of the complex and interrelated actions 
needed not only to complete the relocation of Marine forces, 
but to provide transient berthing for an aircraft carrier and 
accommodate the expected influx of a large number of 
construction workers and associated personnel to execute the 
buildup. The EPA rated the impact of the Department's preferred 
alternative as ``environmentally unsatisfactory'' and rated the 
DEIS itself as 3 or ``Inadequate''; both ratings are the lowest 
possible. It remains to be seen whether, and when, the 
Department will be able to address these major concerns.
    The Committee, to date, sees little concrete evidence that 
the Administration is pursuing the Guam buildup as a ``whole of 
government'' responsibility. The buildup of Guam is not a 
``military problem''; its main feature, the relocation of 
Marine forces from Okinawa, results from a bilateral agreement 
negotiated between the U.S. and Japan governments, and 
therefore DOD should not be isolated as the sole source of 
funding for the necessary improvements to physical and human 
capital in Guam. The Committee notes with concern that the 
Administration has sent mixed signals on this issue. On April 
5, 2010, the Administration submitted a budget amendment to its 
supplemental request for fiscal year 2010 proposing that 
$50,000,000 in unspecified DOD funds be made available by 
transfer to the Port of Guam Improvement Enterprise Fund 
administered by the Maritime Administration in the Department 
of Transportation as a ``critical prerequisite'' of the 
buildup. Weeks later, on May 27, 2010, the Administration 
released a Statement of Administration Policy on H.R. 5136, the 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2011, 
expressing concern with ``the provisions of the bill that 
suggest Guam infrastructure improvements are an exclusive DOD 
financial responsibility rather than a shared inter-agency, 
intergovernmental effort led by DOD'', even though the prior 
budget amendment made the same suggestion.
    The Committee believes that while DOD should have the 
greatest share of leadership for identifying and addressing 
island-wide impacts, non-DOD agencies must also be provided 
directly with the budgetary resources necessary to assist the 
people of Guam with ``outside the fence line'' problems. To 
date, however, much of the non-DOD work appears to be mired in 
the ``planning'' or ``under consideration'' phase. The 
Committee agrees with DOD, as expressed through the DEIS, that 
the rate of military construction execution for the Guam 
buildup should be seen as a tool to mitigate or avoid harmful 
and potentially irreparable consequences. The Committee 
therefore recommends the specific funding reductions described 
below, and will consider future military construction requests 
for the Guam buildup partially in light of progress on civilian 
infrastructure and socioeconomic support for the citizens of 
Guam.
    Additionally, the Committee is concerned by the potential 
impact of the Department's desire, as expressed in the 2010 QDR 
Report, to increase the ``resiliency'' of overseas military 
infrastructure, including the ``hardening'' of certain critical 
facilities such as aircraft shelters. Although the Air Force 
includes $275,000,000 for unspecified resiliency measures at 
Andersen Air Force Base in the outyears of its current FYDP, it 
is unclear whether considerations of ``resiliency'' are being 
taken into account for the infrastructure needed to realign 
Marine Corps forces, including the Air Combat Element, or to 
construct facilities for the Navy and Army components of the 
buildup. The Department needs to clarify the impact of this 
requirement on the Guam construction program at the earliest 
possible date.
    The Committee therefore recommends no funds for the second 
increments of the Andersen Air Force Base North Ramp parking 
and utilities projects, and a reduction of $100,000,000 from 
the $147,210,000 requested for site preparation and utility 
work at Finegayan. The Committee recommends full funding of the 
$106,730,000 requested for improvements to the Apra Harbor 
wharf and Defense Access Roads projects in order to facilitate 
the throughput of personnel and material associated with the 
buildup.
    Facilities management, life-cycle costs, and construction 
method alternatives.--The Committee believes that the military 
construction program best serves both our military personnel 
and the taxpayers when projects are open to competitive bidding 
from contractors representing the widest possible range of 
construction methods. To that end, the Committee urges the 
Department of Defense and the execution agents for military 
construction, principally the Army Corps of Engineers and the 
Naval Facilities Engineering Command, to ensure that requests 
for proposals or qualifications do not arbitrarily foreclose, 
discourage, or privilege any type of construction method. The 
Committee continues to encourage a level playing field for both 
traditional construction methods and alternative methods such 
as permanent modular construction. The Committee also 
encourages DOD to evaluate the regular use of carbon fiber grid 
precast concrete technology in military construction projects.
    The Committee believes that the best way to ensure a level 
playing field is to set and communicate clear standards and 
expectations regarding life-cycle cost management for military 
construction, backed by rigorous, objective analysis. The 
Committee understands that situations may arise in which 
objectives other than life-cycle cost may take precedence; for 
example, speed of construction may be a predominant concern in 
order to meet time-limited goals such as base realignments, 
force structure growth, new system beddown, or urgent 
operational needs. At the same time, the Committee is concerned 
by the recent report from the Government Accountability Office 
(GAO-10-436) indicating that varying service attitudes toward 
the life-cycle costs of different construction methods were 
based more on preformed opinions, personal experiences, and 
anecdotal evidence rather than quantitative information or 
analyses. The Committee therefore urges DOD and the services to 
conduct further research regarding comparative life-cycle costs 
for differing types of construction, establish clear goals and 
benchmarks, and ensure these standards are communicated to 
contracting officials. Until such an empirical basis is 
established, the Committee urges DOD and the services to 
carefully reconsider blanket use of any new life-cycle 
approaches that depart from prior, standard practices.
    The Committee also notes that over the past three years, 
the Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Installations and 
Environment (DUSD I&E) has indicated efforts underway to shift 
from a measurement of the recapitalization rate of DOD 
facilities in terms of years to one based on the actual 
condition of facilities and mission priority. Under the 2007 
Defense Installations Strategic Plan, this new methodology was 
to have been implemented by fiscal year 2010, but recent DUSD 
I&E testimony indicated this methodology was still under 
development. The Committee therefore directs the DUSD I&E to 
provide a status update on the development of this methodology 
and its implementation in the military construction program no 
later than January 29, 2011.
    Bid savings.--The Committee has ascertained from cost 
variation notices required by 10 U.S.C. 2853 that DOD continues 
to reap large bid savings on previously appropriated military 
construction projects. The Committee's recommendations 
therefore include general reductions to the Army, Navy, and Air 
Force military construction accounts, cumulatively representing 
less than 3 percent of the funds requested, in the 
understanding that these excess prior year savings can be 
applied to the fiscal year 2011 program per section 115 of this 
bill. These general reductions allow for a reinvestment of 
resources in high priority projects and initiatives such as 
Guard and Reserve unfunded requirements, Army trainee barracks, 
energy conservation, and environmental cleanup of bases closed 
during the four prior Base Realignment and Closure rounds.
    Incremental funding.--The Committee remains concerned by 
the Office of Management and Budget policy to disallow any new 
incrementally funded military construction projects, which 
began with the fiscal year 2010 request. The Committee 
repeatedly has stated that while projects should be fully 
funded or separated into stand-alone phases where practicable, 
incremental funding should remain an option when it makes 
fiscal and programmatic sense. In some cases, the phased 
approach can drive up costs by requiring inefficient designs 
and separate bids that leave subsequent phases vulnerable to 
construction price inflation. The Committee will continue to 
exercise its prerogative to recommend incremental funding. The 
Committee therefore recommends incremental funding for the 
following three projects included in the Administration's 
request: Air Force Technical Applications Center, Patrick Air 
Force Base, Florida; Sensitive Compartmented Information 
Facility, Wiesbaden, Germany; and Finegayan Site Prep and 
Utilities, Guam.
    Facilities Sustainment, Restoration and Modernization 
(FSRM).--The Department is directed to continue describing on 
form 1390 the backlog of FSRM requirements at installations 
with future construction projects. For troop housing requests, 
form 1391 should describe any FSRM conducted in the past two 
years. Likewise, future requirements for unaccompanied housing 
at the corresponding installation should be included. 
Additionally, the forms should include English equivalent 
measurements for projects presented in metric measurement. 
Rules for funding repairs of facilities under the Operation and 
Maintenance accounts are described below:
          (1) components of the facility may be repaired by 
        replacement. Such replacement can be up to current 
        standards or codes;
          (2) interior arrangements and restorations may be 
        included as repair;
          (3) additions, new facilities, and functional 
        conversions must be performed as military construction 
        projects. Such projects may be done concurrently with 
        repair projects as long as the final conjunctively 
        funded project is a complete and usable facility; and
          (4) the appropriate service Secretary shall notify 
        the appropriate committees 21 days prior to carrying 
        out any repair project with an estimated cost in excess 
        of $7,500,000. The Committee strongly encourages the 
        Services and Defense agencies to indicate the plant 
        replacement value of the facility to be repaired on 
        each such notification.
    Directed designs.--The Committee directs DOD to execute all 
directed designs within the year of appropriation.
    Quarterly summary of notifications.--The Committee directs 
the services and the Office of the Secretary Defense (on behalf 
of itself and Defense agencies) to continue to submit a 
quarterly report listing all notifications that have been 
submitted to the Committees during the preceding three-month 
period.
    Transfer of funds to and from the Foreign Currency 
Fluctuations, Construction, Defense Account.--The Committee 
directs DOD to submit a quarterly report to the Committees on 
Appropriations of both Houses of Congress on the transfer of 
funds from military construction and family housing accounts to 
the Foreign Currency Fluctuations, Construction, Defense 
account. The report shall specify the amount transferred to the 
Foreign Currency account from each military construction and/or 
family housing account, and all other accounts for which an 
appropriation is provided in this Act, during the preceding 
fiscal quarter, and the amounts transferred from the Foreign 
Currency account to the above accounts during the same period. 
This report shall be submitted no later than 30 days after the 
close of each fiscal quarter. In addition, the Department of 
Defense shall notify the Committees on Appropriations of both 
Houses of Congress within 7 days of transferring any amount in 
excess of $10,000,000 to or from the Foreign Currency account.
    Reprogramming Guidelines.--The following reprogramming 
guidelines apply for all military construction and family 
housing projects. A project or account (including the sub-
elements of an account) which has been specifically reduced by 
the Congress in acting on the budget request is considered to 
be a Congressional interest item and as such, prior approval is 
required. Accordingly, no reprogrammings to an item 
specifically reduced below the threshold by the Congress are 
permitted, except that the Department of Defense may seek 
reprogrammings for appropriated increments.
    The reprogramming criteria that apply to military 
construction projects (25 percent of the funded amount or 
$2,000,000, whichever is less) continue to apply to new housing 
construction projects and to improvements over $2,000,000. To 
provide the services the flexibility to proceed with 
construction contracts without disruption or delay, the costs 
associated with environmental hazard remediation such as 
asbestos removal, radon abatement, lead-based paint removal or 
abatement, and any other legislated environmental hazard 
remediation may be excluded, provided that such remediation 
requirements could not be reasonably anticipated at the time of 
the budget submission. This exclusion applies to projects 
authorized in this budget year, as well as projects authorized 
in prior years for which construction has not been completed. 
Planning and design costs associated with military construction 
and family housing projects may also be excluded from these 
guidelines. In instances where prior approval to a 
reprogramming request for a project or account has been 
received from the Committees on Appropriations of both Houses 
of Congress, the adjusted amount approved becomes the new base 
for any future increase or decrease via below-threshold 
reprogrammings (provided that the project or account is not a 
Congressional interest item as defined above).
    In addition to these guidelines, the services are directed 
to adhere to the guidance for military construction 
reprogrammings and notifications, including the pertinent 
statutory authorities contained in DOD Financial Management 
Regulation 7000.14-R and relevant updates and policy memoranda. 
The Committee further encourages the Office of the Director of 
National Intelligence to use a format similar to that used by 
the Office of the Secretary of Defense to submit reprogramming 
requests.

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $4,051,512,000 
for Military Construction, Army, an increase of $595,093,000 
above the fiscal year 2010 enacted level and a decrease of 
$27,286,000 below the budget request.
    Of the funds provided for planning and design in this 
account, the Committee directs that not less than the specified 
amounts be made available for the design of the following 
projects:
    Texas-Fort Bliss, Alternative Energy Projects, $1,166,000.
    Texas-Fort Bliss, Rail Yard Improvements, $2,070,000.
    Texas--Fort Hood, Soldier Readiness Processing Center, 
$1,000,000.
    Virginia-Fort Belvoir, Growth Support Infrastructure, 
$3,060,000.
    Of the funds provided for minor construction in this 
account, the Committee directs that not less than the specified 
amounts be made available for construction of the following 
projects:
    Alabama-Fort Rucker, Emergency Medical Services Facility, 
$1,700,000.
    Maryland-Fort Meade, Infrastructure-Mapes Road and Cooper 
Avenue, $1,750,000.
    Army stationing decisions.--The Committee notes that the 
recent Government Accountability Office report (GAO-10-482) on 
service stationing decisions indicates that the Army has a 
defensible process for determining where new personnel and 
assets are to be located. The Committee remains concerned, 
however, that the Grow the Army Stationing Plan Update 
submitted by the Army in July 2009 leaves 13,917 soldiers 
unaccounted for in its current stationing dispositions. Given 
the somewhat turbulent history of the Grow the Army program and 
the new force structure requirements under the Quadrennial 
Defense Review, the Committee understands the Army's reluctance 
to provide a definitive answer regarding these personnel and 
the units/installations to which they may be assigned. The 
Committee therefore directs the Army to submit a report, or 
provide a briefing, to the Committees on Appropriations of both 
Houses of Congress describing how the Army intends to make 
future stationing decisions accounting for all personnel added 
under the Grow the Army program, as well as future unit 
stationing requirements stemming from the QDR. This report or 
briefing shall be submitted no later than March 1, 2011.
    Aviation Training Facility, Fort Eustis, Virginia.--The 
Committee urges the Army to consider including a project to 
expand the Aviation Training Facility at Fort Eustis, Virginia 
in the next Future Years Defense Program. The Army Aviation 
Logistics School currently is over 40 percent short of required 
space. The school has an annual throughput of nearly 6,000 
soldiers and also provides training to Marine Corps, Air Force, 
and allied personnel on commonly used aircraft. This project 
would provide three new high-bay area additions and an applied 
instruction lab room addition to keep pace with current 
technology as well as training and safety standards.

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $3,587,376,000 
for Military Construction, Navy and Marine Corps, an increase 
of $104,841,000 above the fiscal year 2010 enacted level and a 
decrease of $291,728,000 below the budget request.
    Of the funds provided for planning and design in this

projects:
    Connecticut--New London NSB, Submarine Group Two 
Headquarters, $550,000.
    Indiana--Crane NSWC, Platform Protection Engineering 
Complex, $760,000. Prior to making a determination to shift 
USNS Comfort's homeport,
    USNS Comfort.--Prior to making a determination to shift 
USNS Comfort's homeport, the Navy shall conduct a cost-benefit 
analysis and study of the impact of such a shift on USNS 
Comfort's wartime and humanitarian missions and the manning of 
the military medical facilities which provide USNS Comfort's 
medical staff. The Secretary of the Navy shall certify that a 
homeport shift does not negatively impact cost, mission, or 
medical staffing flexibility. The Navy shall provide this study 
to the Congressional defense committees.

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $1,276,385,000 
for Military Construction, Air Force, a decrease of $72,450,000 
below the fiscal year 2010 enacted level and a decrease of 
$35,000,000 below the budget request.
    Of the funds provided for planning and design in this 
account, the Committee directs that not less than the specified 
amounts be made available for the design of the following 
projects:
    Alabama--Maxwell AFB, Air Traffic Control Tower, $810,000.
    California--Travis AFB, BCE Maintenance Shops and Supply 
Warehouse, $387,000.
    Florida--MacDill AFB, Infrastructure Improvements, 
$249,000.
    Illinois--Scott AFB, New Fitness Facility, Phase 1, 
$396,000.
    North Dakota--Grand Forks AFB, Central Deployment Center, 
$495,000.
    Tennessee--Arnold AFB, Arnold Engineering Development 
Center Power Distribution Modernization, $378,000.
    Texas--Lackland AFB, Consolidated Security Forces 
Operations Center, Phase 1, $900,000.
    Of the funds provided for minor construction in this 
account, the Committee directs that not less than the specified 
amount be made available for the construction of the following 
project:
    Virginia--Langley AFB, Clear Zone Land Acquisition, Phase 
1, $3,000,000.
    Air Force military construction.--The Committee notes that 
of the $1,496,203,000 requested for ``total force'' military 
construction supporting the Air Force, Air National Guard, and 
Air Force Reserve, the Air Force identifies approximately 
$184,000,000, or 12.3 percent, as supporting ``current mission 
priorities,'' with the remainder of funds devoted to new 
missions, support for the Combatant Commanders (COCOMs), joint 
basing requirements, or corporate initiatives such as 
reinvigorating the nuclear enterprise. The Chief of Staff of 
the Air Force has also indicated to the Committee for the past 
three years that the Air Force is taking risk in infrastructure 
in order to meet demands for aircraft modernization and 
personnel costs. The Committee is further concerned by the 
amount of military construction resources being made available 
to the Guard and Reserve. The Air Force Reserve request for 
fiscal year 2011 provides for a single major construction 
project. The Committee's recommendations are intended to 
partially remedy this situation by providing an additional 
$50,000,000 for the Air National Guard and an additional 
$30,000,000 for the Air Force Reserve through the Guard and 
Reserve Initiative. The Committee understands that the Air 
Force is undertaking a review of its military construction 
program for fiscal year 2012, and looks forward to stronger 
investment in Air Force facilities.
    The Committee further notes that the Air Force Future Years 
Defense Program contains an estimated future requirement of 
$564,000,000 to recapitalize facilities for the U.S. Strategic 
Command (STRATCOM), with funding anticipated to begin in fiscal 
year 2012, as well as an unspecified but probably large 
requirement to provide new facilities for the new U.S. Cyber 
Command (CYBERCOM). While the Committee reserves judgment on 
these requirements until funds are requested, it strongly 
believes that these COCOM headquarters requirements should not 
be borne by the Air Force to the detriment of its own 
recapitalization requirements. The Committee therefore urges 
Department of Defense and Air Force leadership to ensure that 
any STRATCOM and CYBERCOM military construction costs are 
treated as Department-wide priorities to be funded in addition 
to, and not as a subtraction from, Air Force military 
construction needs.

                  Military Construction, Defense-Wide


                     (INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)




Fiscal year 2010 enacted level (including rescissions)    $2,849,251,000
Fiscal year 2011 budget request.......................     3,118,062,000
Committee recommendation in the bill..................     2,999,612,000
Comparison with:
    Fiscal year 2010 enacted level....................       150,361,000
    Fiscal year 2011 budget request...................     (118,450,000)


    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $2,999,612,000 
for Military Construction, Defense-Wide, an increase of 
$150,361,000 above the fiscal year 2010 enacted level and a 
decrease of $118,450,000 below the budget request.
    Of the funds provided for planning and design in this 
account, the Committee directs that not less than the specified 
amount be made available for the design of the following 
project:
    Oklahoma--Tulsa IAP, Fuels Storage Complex, $1,036,000.
    Department of Defense (DOD) schools recapitalization.--The 
Committee commends the Department of Defense for its commitment 
to funding the recapitalization of more than half of its 
dependent schools by fiscal year 2015. The Committee expects 
that this funding will contribute greatly to the quality of 
life of military families. A comprehensive assessment of DOD 
dependent schools and construction requirements directed by the 
Committee in House Report 110-775 indicated that 149 of 189 
schools had facilities with an overall condition rating of 
either Q3 (poor) or Q4 (failing) and required significant 
recapitalization efforts to eliminate space shortfalls and 
temporary facilities. The Committee recommends $438,746,000, 
the same as the budget request, for school construction 
activities and strongly encourages the Department to sustain 
and, if possible within the constraints of funding and 
executability, to accelerate this important initiative.
    Special Operations Command infrastructure.--The Committee 
understands that Special Operations Command (SOCOM) is in the 
process of forming a comprehensive master plan for the 
infrastructure within its area of responsibility. The Committee 
notes the extraordinary demands placed upon special operations 
personnel by ongoing overseas contingency operations, and urges 
SOCOM to brief the Committee on the results of this master 
planning process at the earliest possible date.
    Energy Conservation Investment Program.--The Committee 
recommends $130,000,000 for the Energy Conservation Investment 
Program (ECIP), an increase of $10,000,000 above the budget 
request. The Committee also directs that no less than 
$5,000,000 of funds available for Defense-Level Activities 
planning and design in this account shall be available for 
ECIP. The Committee supports ECIP goals to improve energy 
conservation, increase renewable energy production, and enhance 
installation energy security. At the same time, the Committee 
believes that the program lacks rigorous performance standards 
that effectively balance these goals and provide more effective 
means by which to prioritize projects and allocate appropriated 
funds. Currently, funding is allocated to the services and 
components on a ``fair share'' basis, using non-mobility 
installation energy consumption from the previous year combined 
with the ECIP obligation rate for the last five fiscal years. 
Projects are prioritized by a combination of savings to 
investment ratio (SIR), simple payback target of less than ten 
years, and the priorities stipulated by legislation and 
Executive Orders such as reducing energy consumption and 
greenhouse gas emissions while increasing the use of renewable 
energy. According to DOD, the percentage of renewable energy 
projects grew from 25 percent to 52 percent of total funded 
projects between 2007 and 2009. These projects generally have 
longer payback profiles and therefore have reduced the overall 
SIR from 4:1 to 2.4:1.
    The Committee believes that the Department needs to present 
a more coherent strategy for balancing competing priorities and 
allocating funds among the services according to performance-
based, rather than input-based, methods. The Committee 
therefore directs the Deputy Under Secretary for Installations 
and Environment to provide a report to the Committee on options 
for reforming performance standards and funding allocation 
methods to ensure that ECIP funding is applied with maximum 
effectiveness. This report shall be submitted to the 
Congressional defense committees no later than March 1, 2011.

    Fiscal year 2011 budget request...................             - - -


    The North Atlantic Treaty Organization Security Investment 
Program (NSIP) consists of annual contributions by NATO member 
countries. The program finances the costs of construction 
needed to support the roles of the major NATO commands. The 
investments cover facilities such as airfields, fuel pipelines 
and storage, harbors, communications and information systems, 
radar and navigational aids, and military headquarters, both 
within NATO nations and for ``out of area'' operations such as 
Afghanistan.
    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $258,884,000 
for NSIP, an increase of $61,470,000 above the fiscal year 2010 
enacted level and the same as the budget request.
    The U.S. occasionally has been forced to temporarily delay 
the authorization of projects due to shortfalls in U.S. 
obligation authority. The Committee directs the Secretary of 
Defense to notify the Committee within 14 days of the U.S. 
taking action to temporarily delay the authorization of 
projects, or to temporarily withhold funds from previously 
authorized projects, due to shortfalls in U.S. obligation 
authority.

                        Family Housing Overview





Fiscal year 2010 enacted level........................    $2,258,698,000
Fiscal year 2011 budget request.......................     1,823,191,000
Committee recommendation in the bill..................     1,823,191,000
Comparison with:

    Fiscal year 2011 budget request...................             - - -


    Family housing construction accounts provide funds for new 
construction, construction improvements, the Federal government 
costs for family housing privatization projects, and planning 
and design. The operation and maintenance accounts provide 
funds to pay for maintenance and repair, furnishings, 
management, services, utilities, leasing, interest, mortgage 
insurance, and miscellaneous expenses.
    The Committee recommends a total appropriation of 
$1,823,191,000 for the family housing construction, family 
housing operation and maintenance, and homeowners assistance 
accounts, a decrease of $435,507,000 below the fiscal year 2010 
enacted level and the same as the budget request. The decrease 
below the 2010 enacted level is due partly to the Department of 
Defense's success in implementing the Military Housing 
Privatization Initiative, which has generated approximately 
$27,000,000,000 in family housing development on military 
installations and reduced the requirement for appropriated 
construction and operating costs. The Committee encourages the 
Department, where feasible, to utilize energy efficient, 
environmentally friendly, and easily deployable composite 
building materials in new family housing construction.
    Family housing privatization progress reports.--The 
Committee directs the Department of Defense to continue 
submitting semi-annual progress reports on the family housing 
privatization program, including a breakout of military tenant 
satisfaction rates by project.
    Foreign currency savings and sub-account transfers.--The 
Committee directs that savings in family housing operation and 
maintenance accounts from foreign currency re-estimates be used 
to maintain and repair existing family housing units. The 
Comptroller is directed to report to the Committees on 
Appropriations of both Houses of Congress on how these savings 
are allocated by December 1, 2010. In addition, the Committee 
directs the Services and Defense agencies to notify the 
Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress within 
30 days of a transfer of funds between subaccounts within the 
family housing construction and family housing operation and 
maintenance accounts, if such transfer is in excess of 10 
percent of the funds appropriated to the sub-account to which 
the funds are being transferred. Notifications to the 
Committees shall indicate the sub-accounts and amounts that are 
being used to source the transfer.
    Leasing reporting requirements.--The Secretary of Defense 
is directed to report to the Committees on Appropriations of 
both Houses of Congress quarterly on the details of all new or 
renewed domestic leases entered into during the previous 
quarter that exceed the cost threshold set by 10 U.S.C. 
2828(b)(2), including certification that less expensive housing 
was not available for lease. For foreign leases, the Department 
is directed to: (1) perform an economic analysis on all new 
leases or lease/contract agreements where more than 25 units 
are involved; (2) report the details of new or renewed lease 
agreements that exceed the cost threshold set by 10 U.S.C. 
2828(e)(1) 21 days prior to entering into such an agreement; 
and (3) base leasing decisions on the economic analysis.

    Fiscal year 2011 budget request...................             - - -


    The Family Housing Improvement Fund (FHIF) is authorized by 
section 2883, title 10, United States Code, and provides the 
Department of Defense with authority to finance joint ventures 
with the private sector to revitalize and to manage the 
Department's housing inventory. The statute authorizes the 
Department to use limited partnerships, make direct and 
guaranteed loans, and convey Department-owned property to 
stimulate the private sector to increase the availability of 
affordable, quality housing for military personnel.
    The FHIF is used to build or renovate family housing by 
using various legal authorities, and by utilizing private 
capital and expertise to the maximum extent possible. The fund 
is administered as a single account without fiscal year 
limitations and contains directly appropriated and transferred 
funds from family housing construction accounts.
    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $1,096,000 for 
the Department of Defense Family Housing Improvement Fund, a 
decrease of $1,504,000 below the fiscal year 2010 enacted level 
and the same as the budget request.

    Fiscal year 2011 budget request...................             - - -


    The Homeowners Assistance Fund account finances the 
Homeowners Assistance Program (HAP), which provides assistance 
to individual military and Federal civilian homeowners who 
sustain losses on the sales of their primary residences due to 
declining real estate markets attributable to the closure or 
realignment of military installations, as well as the temporary 
expansion of the program to include military homeowners 
adversely affected by the housing crisis and the permanent 
extension of benefits to wounded warriors and surviving 
spouses. This non-expiring revolving fund receives funding from 
several sources, including appropriations, borrowing authority, 
reimbursable authority, prior fiscal year unobligated balances, 
appropriation transfers, revenue from sale of acquired 
properties, and recovery of prior year obligations.
    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $16,515,000 
for the Department of Defense Homeowners Assistance Fund, a 
decrease of $306,710,000 below the fiscal year 2010 enacted 
level and the same as the budget request.

    The Chemical Demilitarization Construction, Defense-Wide 
account provides funds for the design and construction of full-
scale chemical disposal facilities and associated projects to 
upgrade installation support facilities and infrastructures 
required to support the Chemical Demilitarization program.
    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $124,971,000 
for Chemical Demilitarization Construction, Defense-Wide, a 
decrease of $26,570,000 below the fiscal year 2010 enacted 
level and the same as the budget request.

    Fiscal year 2011 budget request...................       100,000,000


    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $460,474,000 
for the Base Realignment and Closure Account 1990, a decrease 
of $36,294,000 below the fiscal year 2010 enacted level and an 
increase of $100,000,000 above the budget request. Of the 
amount provided above the budget request, the Committee directs 
that $40,000,000 shall be made available to the Army, and 
$60,000,000 shall be made available to the Navy. The Committee 
directs the Army and Navy separately to submit spending plans 
for these funds no later than 30 days following the enactment 
of this Act. The Committee remains concerned by the Department 
of Defense's lack of budgetary commitment to this program. 
Requests for environmental cleanup frequently reflect no more 
than the minimal level to satisfy legal mandates. Department 
officials testified before the Committee that significant 
contract savings are being realized within the program, yet the 
budget request fails to fully avail the opportunities presented 
by such savings with an increased level of effort.

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $2,354,285,000 
for the Base Realignment and Closure Account 2005, a decrease 
of $5,101,213,000 below the fiscal year 2010 enacted level and 
the same as the budget request. This funding supports the most 
recent base realignment and closure round which affects over 
800 installations and locations through 24 major closures, 24 
major realignments, and 765 other actions.
    Mark Center office complex, Alexandria, Virginia.--The 
Committee is concerned by the potential traffic impacts of the 
new office complex under construction at the Mark Center site 
in Alexandria, Virginia, to implement BRAC recommendation 133. 
The Committee is aware that the Virginia Department of 
Transportation has completed an analysis demonstrating a severe 
impact on the surrounding transportation network from the daily 
ingress and egress of approximately 6,400 Department of Defense 
personnel upon full implementation of the BRAC recommendation. 
The Committee therefore strongly urges the Secretary of Defense 
to limit occupancy of parking spaces at this facility and in 
the immediate vicinity to no more than 1,000 until the 
Secretary completes a viable transportation plan and certifies 
to the Committees on Appropriations that construction has been 
completed to provide adequate ingress to, and egress from, the 
Mark Center office complex. The Committee directs the Secretary 
of Defense to submit a viable transportation plan that, at 
minimum, provides for the ingress and egress of all personnel 
to and from the office complex without further reducing the 
level of service at the following six intersections: (1) the 
intersection of Beauregard Street and Mark Center Drive; (2) 
the intersection of Beauregard Street and Seminary Road; (3) 
the intersection of Seminary Road and Mark Center Drive; (4) 
the intersection of Seminary Road and the northbound entrance-
ramp to I-395; (5) the intersection of Seminary Road and the 
northbound exit-ramp from I-395; and (6) the intersection of 
Seminary Road and the southbound exit-ramp from I-395. This 
report shall be submitted no later than June 15, 2011.
    The Committee further directs the Department of Defense 
Inspector General (DOD-IG) to submit a report evaluating the 
sufficiency and coordination conducted in completing the 
requisite environmental studies associated with the site 
selection for the BRAC 133 project pursuant to the National 
Environmental Policy Act of 1969, with specific attention to 
the transportation determinations associated with the project; 
further, the DOD-IG shall review and provide comment upon the 
Secretary of Defense's transportation plan and the Secretary's 
efforts to limit the occupancy of parking spaces pending the 
implementation of such plan. This report shall be submitted no 
later than June 15, 2011.

                       Administrative Provisions

    The bill includes 27 provisions that were included in the 
fiscal year 2010 enacted appropriations bill. The 
administrative provisions included in the bill are as follows:

Fiscal year 2012 Committee recommendation in the         50,610,985,000
 bill\1\..........................................

\1\All funding cited excludes amounts in the Medical Care Collections
  Fund.

    The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) serves almost 59 
million people--23,100,000 veterans and 35,200,000 family 
members of living veterans or survivors of deceased veterans. 
This group constitutes almost 20 percent of the United States 
population. To serve adequately the nation's veterans, the VA 
employs more than 284,000 people, making it one of the largest 
Federal agencies in terms of employment.
    The Committee recommends a total of $120,812,964,000 in 
budget authority for programs in fiscal year 2011, an increase 
of $11,205,338,000 or 10.2 percent above the fiscal year 2010 
enacted level and $2,500,000 below the budget request. In 
addition, advance appropriations of $50,610,985,000 are 
provided for fiscal year 2012.
    The funds recommended provide compensation payments to 
3,815,081 veterans with service-connected disabilities and 
survivors of deceased veterans; pension payments to 503,039 
non-service-connected disabled veterans, widows, and children 
in need of financial assistance; education training, tuition 
assistance, and vocational assistance to 778,111 veterans, 
servicemembers, and reservists, and 83,207 eligible dependents 
of deceased veterans or seriously disabled veterans; housing 
credit assistance in the form of 240,117 guaranteed loans to 
veterans and servicemembers; administration or supervision of 
life insurance programs with 6,918,910 policies for veterans 
and active duty servicemembers providing coverage of 
$1,336,891,080,000; inpatient care and treatment of 
beneficiaries in 153 hospitals, 54 domiciliary residential 
rehabilitation treatment programs, 135 nursing homes, 299 Vet 
Centers, 50 mobile Vet Centers, and 849 outpatient clinics, 
which include independent, satellite, community-based, and 
rural outreach clinics. Workload at the various medical 
facilities of the VA is projected to be 86,964,000 outpatient 
visits and 964,500 inpatient stays in fiscal year 2011. The 
funding recommended also pays for administration of the 
National Cemetery Administration for burial of eligible 
veterans, servicemembers and their survivors.
    Veteran-owned small businesses.--The Committee supports the 
VA program to purchase goods and services from veteran-owned 
small businesses. However, the Committee believes that better 
monitoring and verification of veteran ownership is necessary 
and requests a report by March 1, 2011 identifying: the number 
of self-representing businesses as well as the number of 
businesses that have submitted for verification which are at 
least 51 percent owned and controlled by veterans or service-
disabled veterans; the number of self-representing businesses 
and the number of businesses which have submitted for 
verification that meet Federal small business size standards; 
the VA's current ranking versus the 3 percent subcontract and 
prime contract goals; current efforts to promote the formation 
and expansion of verified veteran-owned businesses; and current 
efforts to verify ownership and control of veteran-owned 
businesses. The Committee requests that the report disaggregate 
the data to identify demographics of veteran-owned versus 
service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses.
    Environmental sustainability goals.--The Department 
currently submits information to Congress through the 
Department of Energy and the Office of Management and Budget on 
its progress in meeting several environmental sustainability 
goals established by Executive Order 13514, including the:
          (1) 2020 greenhouse gas emissions reduction target;
          (2) 30 percent reduction in vehicle fleet petroleum 
        use by 2020;
          (3) 26 percent improvement in water efficiency by 
        2020;
          (4) 50 percent recycling and waste diversion by 2015; 
        and
          (5) the goal that 95 percent of all applicable 
        contracts will meet sustainability requirements.
    Not later than 180 days after the enactment of this Act, 
the Committee directs that the Department report to the 
Committee information on the Department's progress in meeting 
the other requirements of the Executive Order:
          (1) implementation of the 2030 net-zero-energy 
        building requirement;
          (2) implementation of the stormwater provisions of 
        the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007, 
        section 438; and
          (3) development of guidance for sustainable Federal 
        building locations in alignment with the Livability 
        Principles put forward by the Department of Housing and 
        Urban Development, the Department of Transportation, 
        and the Environmental Protection Agency.
    Filipino Veterans.--The Committee commends the VA for 
promptly processing the benefits of Filipino veterans who aided 
American troops in World War II, as authorized in the 2009 
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, but is concerned about 
reports that possibly legitimate claims have been denied. The 
Committee encourages the VA to continue to process claims 
expeditiously to distribute the designated funding of 
$198,000,000 by the October 1, 2010 deadline and to review its 
current practices to ensure that all claims are reviewed in a 
fair and thorough manner. The Committee requests that the VA 
submit a report on the status of awarded, pending, and denied 
claims by December 1, 2010.
    Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPIs).--The 
Committee is pleased with the re-establishment of the White 
House Initiative on Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders and 
recognizes the importance of its broad mission to improve their 
quality of life through increased participation in Federal 
programs in which they may be underrepresented. The Committee 
expects the VA to join with other Federal departments, 
agencies, and offices to contribute resources, including time, 
personnel, and expertise, to ensure the success of the 
Initiative in increasing AAPI access and participation in 
Federal programs.

                    Veterans Benefits Administration


                       COMPENSATION AND PENSIONS

                     (INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)




Fiscal year 2010 enacted level........................   $47,396,106,000
Fiscal year 2011 budget request.......................    53,492,234,000
Committee recommendation in the bill..................    53,492,234,000
Comparison with:
    Fiscal year 2010 enacted level....................     6,096,128,000
    Fiscal year 2011 budget request...................             - - -


    This appropriation provides funds for service-connected 
compensation payments to an estimated 3,816,000 veterans, 
survivors, and dependents. In addition, pension payments are 
funded for 309,000 veterans and 194,000 survivors. The average 
cost per compensation case for veterans in 2011 is estimated at 
$12,354, and pension payments are projected at a unit cost of 
$10,816.
    The Committee recommends an appropriation of 
$53,492,234,000 for compensation, pension, and burial benefits, 
an increase of $6,096,128,000 above the fiscal year 2010 
enacted level and the same as the budget request.
    The appropriation includes authority to transfer funding 
not to exceed $30,424,000, of which $10,435,000 is for the 
General Operating Expenses account, $10,874,000 is for the 
Medical Support and Compliance account, and $9,115,000 is for 
the Information Technology Systems account. These funds are for 
the administrative expenses of implementing cost-saving 
provisions required by the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 
1990, Public Law 101-508, the Veterans' Benefits Act of 1992, 
Public Law 102-568, and the Veterans' Benefits Improvements Act 
of 1994, Public Law 103-446. These cost-saving provisions 
include verifying pension income against Internal Revenue 
Service (IRS) and Social Security Administration (SSA) data; 
establishing a match with the SSA to obtain verification of 
Social Security numbers; and applying the VA pension cap for 
Medicaid-eligible single veterans and surviving spouses alone 
in Medicaid-covered nursing homes. The bill also continues to 
include language permitting this appropriation to reimburse 
such sums as may be earned to the Medical Care Collections Fund 
to help defray the operating expenses of individual medical 
facilities for nursing home care provided to pensioners.
    Plot allowances.--The Committee is concerned about the 
eroding value of the plot allowance and burial benefits 
provided to the Nation's veterans. Because the benefits are not 
indexed to inflation, their value continues to diminish each 
year since the last increase provided in 2001. As a result, 
families and state veterans' cemeteries have been left to cover 
the increasing costs. The Committee directs the Department to 
assess the viability of increasing the plot allowance and 
burial benefits to cover the same percentage of veterans' 
burial costs that they covered in 1973, when they were 
initiated.

                         READJUSTMENT BENEFITS




Fiscal year 2010 enacted level........................    $9,232,369,000
Fiscal year 2011 budget request.......................    10,440,245,000
Committee recommendation in the bill..................    10,440,245,000
Comparison with:
    Fiscal year 2010 enacted level....................     1,207,876,000
    Fiscal year 2011 budget request...................             - - -


    This appropriation finances the education and training of 
veterans and servicemembers whose initial entry to active duty 
took place on or after July 1, 1985. These benefits are 
included in the All-Volunteer Force Educational Assistance 
Program, for which eligibility began in 1987. Basic benefits 
are funded through appropriations made to the Readjustment 
Benefits appropriation and transfers from the Department of 
Defense. Supplemental education benefits are also provided to 
certain veteran members of the Selected Reserve and are funded 
through transfers from the Department of Defense. This account 
also includes the cost of education benefits for servicemembers 
whose service took place on or after September 11, 2001. In 
addition, certain disabled veterans are provided with 
vocational rehabilitation, specially adapted housing grants, 
and grants for automobiles with approved adaptive equipment.
    This account also finances educational assistance 
allowances for eligible dependents of veterans who died from 
service-connected causes or have a total and permanent service-
connected disability, as well as dependents of servicemembers 
who were captured or are missing in action.
    The Committee recommends an appropriation of 
$10,440,245,000 for Readjustment Benefits, an increase of 
$1,207,876,000 above the fiscal year 2010 enacted level and the 
same as the budget request. The significant funding increase is 
a result of continuing implementation of the Post 9/11 GI Bill 
(chapter 33).
    Wounded warriors on campus.--The Committee encourages the 
VA to work with colleges and universities to create programs to 
support the successful post-war adjustment and social 
reintegration of wounded veteran students. The completion of 
initial medical treatment and subsequent discharge from active 
duty status often present additional challenges to wounded 
military personnel as they become full time students. These 
wounded veterans often need specialized physical and mental 
rehabilitation, career counseling, skills or placement testing, 
and academic mentoring. The VA is encouraged to work with 
accredited colleges to strengthen existing programs and to 
develop new pilot programs that integrate these resources 
across campus.

                   VETERANS INSURANCE AND INDEMNITIES




Fiscal year 2010 enacted level........................       $49,288,000
Fiscal year 2011 budget request.......................        62,589,000
Committee recommendation in the bill..................        62,589,000
Comparison with:
    Fiscal year 2010 enacted level....................        13,301,000
    Fiscal year 2011 budget request...................             - - -


    The Veterans Insurance and Indemnities appropriation is 
made up of the former appropriations for military and naval 
insurance, applicable to World War I veterans; national service 
life insurance (NSLI), applicable to certain World War II 
veterans; servicemen's indemnities, applicable to Korean 
conflict veterans; and the veterans mortgage life insurance, 
applicable to individuals who have received a grant for 
specially adapted housing.
    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $62,589,000 
for Veterans Insurance and Indemnities, an increase of 
$13,301,000 above the fiscal year 2010 enacted level and the 
same as the budget request. The amount provided will enable the 
Department to transfer funding to the service-disabled veterans 
insurance fund and transfer additional amounts for payments for 
policies under the veterans mortgage life insurance program. 
These policies are identified under the Veterans Insurance and 
Indemnity appropriation since they provide insurance to 
service-disabled veterans unable to qualify under basic NSLI.

    The purpose of the home loan guaranty program is to 
facilitate the extension of mortgage credit on favorable terms 
by private lenders to eligible veterans. This appropriation 
provides for all costs, with the exception of the Native 
American veterans housing loan program, of the Department's 
direct and guaranteed loans programs. The Federal Credit Reform 
Act of 1990 requires budgetary resources to be available prior 
to incurring a direct loan obligation or a loan guaranty 
commitment. In addition, the bill requires all administrative 
expenses of a direct or guaranteed loan program to be funded 
through a program account. Loan guaranties are made to 
servicemembers, veterans, reservists, and single surviving 
spouses for the purchase of homes, condominiums, and 
manufactured homes and for refinancing loans. The Department 
guarantees part of the total loan, permitting the purchaser to 
obtain a mortgage with a competitive interest rate, even 
without a down payment if the lender agrees. The Department 
requires that a down payment be made for a manufactured home. 
With a Department guaranty, the lender is protected against 
loss, up to the amount of the guaranty, if the borrower fails 
to repay the loan.
    The Committee recommends such sums as may be necessary 
(currently estimated to total $19,078,000) for funding subsidy 
payments, $500,000 for the limitation on direct loans for 
specially adapted housing loans, and $163,646,000 for 
administrative expenses.

    This appropriation covers the funding subsidy cost of 
direct loans for vocational rehabilitation of eligible veterans 
and includes administrative expenses necessary to carry out the 
direct loan program. Loans of up to $1,095 (based on indexed 
chapter 31 subsistence allowance rate) are available to 
service-connected disabled veterans enrolled in vocational 
rehabilitation programs when the veteran is temporarily in need 
of additional assistance. Repayment is made in monthly 
installments, without interest, through deductions from future 
payments of compensation, pension, subsistence allowance, 
educational assistance allowance, or retirement pay. Most loans 
are repaid in full in less than one year. The Federal Credit 
Reform Act of 1990 requires budgetary resources to be available 
prior to incurring a direct loan obligation.
    The Committee recommends $48,000 for funding subsidy 
program costs and $337,000 for administrative expenses. The 
administrative expenses may be paid to the General Operating 
Expenses account.
    In addition, the Committee includes language limiting 
direct loans to $3,042,000. It is estimated that the Department 
will make 3,286 loans in fiscal year 2011, with an average 
amount of $926.

    The Native American Veteran Housing Loan Program, as 
authorized by title 38 United States Code, chapter 37, 
subchapter V, provides the Secretary with authority to make 
direct housing loans to Native American veterans for the 
purpose of purchasing, constructing, or improving dwellings on 
trust lands. The Committee recommends the budget request of 
$707,000 for administrative expenses of the Native American 
Veteran Housing Loan Program.

  GUARANTEED TRANSITIONAL HOUSING LOANS FOR HOMELESS VETERANS PROGRAM 
                                ACCOUNT

    No funds have been provided for this program, which was 
funded as a pilot in fiscal year 2000 to expand the supply of 
transitional housing for homeless veterans. This is the same as 
the Administration request. No new loans will be executed and 
no additional program account dollars are required to service 
the one existing loan. Up to $750,000 was made available in 
fiscal year 2010 to service the loans.

                     Veterans Health Administration

    The Department operates the largest Federal medical care 
delivery system in the country, with 153 hospitals, 54 
domiciliary residential rehabilitation treatment programs, 135 
nursing homes, 299 Vet Centers, 50 mobile Vet Centers, and 849 
outpatient clinics which include independent, satellite, 
community-based, and rural outreach clinics. Approximately 
6,100,000 patients will be treated in 2011.
    The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) is comprised of 
four accounts: Medical Services, Medical Support and 
Compliance, Medical Facilities, and Medical and Prosthetic 
Research. For these accounts, the Administration has requested 
total resources for fiscal year 2012 of $50,610,985,000 in 
direct appropriations and $3,393,000,000 in Medical Care 
Collections Fund appropriations, to fund the three advance 
appropriations of the VHA. This is an increase of 
$2,427,985,000 above the fiscal year 2011 enacted level of 
$48,183,000,000 and the same as the budget request. The 
Committee also provides the budget request of $590,000,000 for 
medical and prosthetic research.
    Medical school affiliations with VA health care 
facilities.--The Committee is pleased with the recommendations 
of the Blue Ribbon Panel on VA Medical School Affiliations, 
especially the recommendations encouraging a stronger 
collaborative relationship with historically black health 
professions schools. The Committee encourages the VA to 
strengthen its partnerships with graduate health professions 
schools at historically black health professions institutions 
and to report to the Committee on the steps taken to do so.
    Rural health.--The Committee is concerned that the VA has 
not implemented the rural health initiative in a manner fully 
consistent with Congressional intent. The Committee provided 
$250,000,000 for the Office of Rural Health to support national 
programs and initiatives that would be appropriate across the 
country. It appears that $200,000,000 of the fiscal year 2010 
total is being used for a one-time rural fee pilot program that 
will not be replicated or continued in fiscal year 2011. 
Further, the Committee understands that the VA intends to 
designate $100,000,000 of the fiscal year 2011 funding for an 
enhanced contract care pilot program and $87,800,000 for rural 
community-based outpatient clinics. These two large programs 
with multi-year costs do not represent the national seed 
projects envisioned with the initiative. The Committee directs 
the VA to report, within 60 days of enactment of this Act, to 
the Committee on its fiscal year 2011 and fiscal year 2012 
rural health spending plans prior to the obligation of any 
funding.

                            MEDICAL SERVICES

                     (INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)




Fiscal year 2010 enacted level........................   $34,707,500,000
Fiscal year 2011 enacted level........................    37,136,000,000
Fiscal year 2012 advance budget request...............    39,649,985,000
Committee 2012 recommendation in the bill.............    39,649,985,000
Comparison with:
    Fiscal year 2011 enacted level....................     2,513,985,000
    Fiscal year 2012 budget request...................             - - -


    This appropriation provides for medical services of 
eligible veterans and beneficiaries in Department medical 
centers, outpatient clinic facilities, contract hospitals, 
State homes, and outpatient programs on a fee basis. Hospital 
and outpatient care is also provided by the private sector for 
certain dependents and survivors of veterans under the civilian 
health and medical programs for the VA.
    The Committee provides an advance appropriation of 
$39,649,985,000 for Medical Services for fiscal year 2012, an 
increase of $2,513,985,000, or 6.8 percent, above the fiscal 
year 2011 enacted level and the same as the budget request. The 
Committee has included bill language to make available through 
September 30, 2013, $1,015,000,000 of the Medical Services 
appropriation for fiscal year 2012. Funding is included to 
implement the recently enacted authorization of assistance and 
support services for caregivers of eligible veterans. The 
Committee provides sufficient resources to fully implement VA 
homeless assistance programs, including the Homeless Providers 
Grant and Per Diem, the Domiciliary Care for Homeless Veterans, 
and the Department of Housing and Urban Development--Department 
of Veterans Affairs Supported Housing programs.
    Mental health services.--The Committee encourages the VA to 
consider utilizing the expert resources available in academic 
medical centers to assist in providing treatment for 
servicemembers suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, 
depression, and other mental health conditions. A number of 
these centers have developed innovative programs that include 
outreach, clinical research, evidence-based therapies, and 
services for family members. Treatment in these units may also 
help address any stigma issue for veterans who are unwilling to 
seek mental health services within a VA facility. The Committee 
requests a report by February 1, 2011 describing the degree to 
which the VA presently utilizes academic medical centers to 
deliver mental health services and its future plans to expand 
this usage. Further, these centers also have the capability and 
expertise to diagnose mental health conditions, and the 
Committee encourages the VA to consider diagnoses from these 
centers, especially in the area of post-traumatic stress 
disorder when evaluating servicemembers for benefits for this 
condition.
    Tobacco use.--The Committee recognizes the significant 
health burden caused by tobacco use in the Nation's veteran 
population, including lung cancer and chronic obstructive 
pulmonary disease. The Committee urges the Department to move 
quickly to implement the recommendations outlined in the 
Institute of Medicine report, Combating Tobacco Use in Military 
and Veteran Populations. Such action is necessary to reduce 
tobacco use among veterans to improve health and prevent 
serious chronic health conditions.
    Nurse training.--The Committee requests the Department to 
assess the need to support additional higher education nursing 
programs to provide quality health care to veterans in rural 
areas. The Department is directed to report to the Committee 
its findings by February 1, 2011.
    Guide and service dog program.--The Committee is disturbed 
by the Department's slow pace in implementing its new authority 
to provide service dogs to veterans with mental impairments, 
including post-traumatic stress disorder. The Committee 
understands that the VA is providing fewer than ten guide dogs 
to veterans and no service dogs for veterans with mental 
impairments. The Committee directs the VA to finalize 
regulations governing such a program by September 1, 2010 and 
to report to the Committee the operational details of the 
program established.
    HIV/AIDS among veterans.--The Committee commends the VA 
health care system on its swift adoption of new HIV testing 
policy guidelines, which closely mirror the Revised 
Recommendations for HIV Testing of Adults, Adolescents, and 
Pregnant Women in Heathcare Settings issued in September 2006 
by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). 
The Committee requests a report from the Department by January 
1, 2011 on the number and percentage of VA medical facilities 
where the revised HIV testing policy has been implemented and 
the timeframe for its implementation at all VA sites. The 
report should include data on the number of VA patients who 
have tested positive for HIV and AIDS since the new guidance 
has been mandated, along with information about the extent to 
which HIV testing information and queries are captured on the 
Computerized Patient Record System.
    Mental health services underreporting.--The Committee is 
concerned by Government Accountability Office (GAO) findings in 
its May 2010 report (GAO-10-570) that the VA does not publicly 
report information about its spending for mental health 
services from non-VA providers, such as community-based 
hospitals and mental health professionals, or at VA settings 
not primarily used for providing mental health services. The 
Committee directs the VA to include the data identified by the 
GAO in the VA budget justifications for fiscal year 2012 and 
subsequent fiscal years. If current year data are not readily 
available at the time the justifications are compiled, prior 
year data so identified may be used. Reporting this additional 
information will enhance Congressional oversight of VA services 
to veterans for post-traumatic stress disorder, suicide 
prevention and other mental health issues.
    Telehealth counseling.--The Committee encourages the VA to 
continue and expand its use of a telehealth platform to provide 
mental health outreach and health coaching services to veterans 
and their families, regardless of their geographic location. 
This approach provides help when and where the veteran chooses 
and can eliminate any stigma the veteran may feel in seeking 
mental health services.
    Non-Veterans Equitable Resource Allocation (VERA) 
distributions.--The Committee directs the VA to provide to the 
Committee within 30 days of enactment of this Act a detailed 
listing of all fiscal year 2011 Medical Services activities 
that are not funded through the VERA allocation method. The 
list should identify all programs, initiatives, areas of 
Congressional interest, and activities described as being 
supported through ``specific purpose'' funds. The document 
should compare these activities in funding amount and type to 
the activities funded outside the VERA allocation model in 
fiscal year 2010.
    Prescription drug monitoring programs.--The Committee 
directs the VA to provide a report, within 60 days of enactment 
of this Act, to the Committee on the feasibility of VA's 
participation in state-run prescription drug monitoring 
programs (PDMP). The report should include an analysis of any 
legal and/or administrative issues that would prohibit VA's 
participation in state-run PDMP, and, if such issues exist, 
recommendations to overcome those issues.

                     medical support and compliance





Fiscal year 2010 enacted level........................    $4,930,000,000
Fiscal year 2011 enacted level........................     5,307,000,000
Fiscal year 2012 advance budget request...............     5,535,000,000
Committee 2012 recommendation in the bill.............     5,535,000,000
Comparison with:
    Fiscal year 2011 enacted level....................       228,000,000
    Fiscal year 2012 advance budget request...........             - - -


    The Medical Support and Compliance appropriation funds the 
expenses of management and administration of the Department's 
health care system to include financial management, public 
health and environmental hazard, quality and performance 
management, medical inspection, human research oversight, 
training programs and continuing education, security, volunteer 
operations, and human resources.
    The Committee recommends an advance appropriation of 
$5,535,000,000 for Medical Support and Compliance for fiscal 
year 2012, an increase of $228,000,000 above the fiscal year 
2011 enacted level and the same as the budget request. The 
Committee has included bill language to make available through 
September 30, 2013, $145,000,000 of the Medical Support and 
Compliance appropriation for fiscal year 2012.
    Patient safety.--Reports from the VA Office of Inspector 
General during the past year document lapses in the proper use 
and reprocessing of flexible fiberoptic endoscopes at VA 
medical facilities. These lapses resulted in several known 
cases of the transmission of blood-borne diseases and exposed 
more than 10,000 veterans to hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and HIV. 
The Committee directs the Department to collaborate with the 
CDC to develop and assess systems for complete and consistent 
adherence to injection safety and infection control guidelines 
across the VA healthcare system. The Department is directed to 
report to the Committee by July 1, 2011 the actions it has 
undertaken in response to this directive.
    The Committee is concerned about reports indicating that an 
employee at the John Cochran VA Medical Center in St. Louis was 
fired after months of warning her supervisors about inadequate 
sterilization of dental equipment. Had these warnings been 
heeded, more than 1,800 veterans may have avoided possible 
exposure to the HIV, Hepatitis B and C viruses. The Committee 
directs the Department to reestablish an anonymous patient 
safety reporting hotline to ensure that all reports regarding 
matters of patient safety are promptly investigated and VA 
employees making reports are not subjected to retaliatory 
actions.
    In addition to current notification procedures, the 
Committee directs the VA to notify, by telephone, veterans who 
may have been exposed to improperly sterilized medical 
equipment. This notification should occur within 30 days of the 
VA determination that such exposure may have occurred.

                           medical facilities





Fiscal year 2010 enacted level........................    $4,859,000,000
Fiscal year 2011 enacted level........................     5,740,000,000
Fiscal year 2012 advance budget request...............     5,426,000,000

Comparison with:
    Fiscal year 2011 enacted level....................     (314,000,000)
    Fiscal year 2012 advance budget request...........             - - -


    The Medical Facilities appropriation provides funds for the 
operation and maintenance of the Department's health care 
system's capital infrastructure. Included under this heading 
are provisions for costs associated with utilities, 
engineering, capital planning, leases, laundry, groundskeeping, 
garbage, housekeeping, facility repair, and property 
disposition and acquisition.
    The Committee recommends an advance appropriation of 
$5,426,000,000 for Medical Facilities for fiscal year 2012, a 
decrease of $314,000,000 below the fiscal year 2011 enacted 
level and the same as the budget request. The Committee has 
included bill language to make available through September 30, 
2013, $145,000,000 of the advance Medical Facilities 
appropriation for fiscal year 2012. The Committee continues 
bill language designating that $130,000,000 of the funds made 
available for non-recurring maintenance is to be distributed in 
a manner not subject to the Veterans Equitable Resource 
Allocation model.
    Community-based outpatient clinics.--The Committee urges 
the Department to examine the need for, and to report to the 
Committee on the feasibility of, a community-based outpatient 
clinic within the following counties in South Central Illinois: 
Pike, Calhoun, Jersey, Greene, Macoupin, Montgomery, Madison, 
Bond, and Fayette.
    Child care availability.--The Committee directs the VA to 
report to the Committee by March 1, 2011 on the number of child 
care slots the Department supports at medical centers, broken 
out by slots reserved for children of patients and for 
employees. This analysis should indicate the unmet demand for 
child care slots in each category and the plans the VA has 
developed to address the demand.

                    medical and prosthetic research





Fiscal year 2010 enacted level........................      $581,000,000
Fiscal year 2011 budget request.......................       590,000,000
Committee recommendation in the bill..................       590,000,000
Comparison with:
    Fiscal year 2010 enacted level....................         9,000,000
    Fiscal year 2011 budget request...................             - - -


    This appropriation provides for medical, rehabilitative, 
and health services research. Medical research is an important 
aspect of the Department's programs, providing complete medical 
and hospital services for veterans. The prosthetic research 
program is also essential in the development and testing of 
prosthetic, orthopedic, and sensory aids for the purpose of 
improving the care and rehabilitation of eligible disabled 
veterans, including amputees, paraplegics, and the blind. The 
health services research program provides unique opportunities 
to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the health care 
delivery system. In addition, budgetary resources from a number 
of areas including appropriations from the medical care 
accounts, reimbursements from the Department of Defense, grants 
from the National Institutes of Health, private proprietary 
sources, and voluntary organizations provide support for the 
Department's researchers. Estimated total research resources in 
2011 are $1,890,000,000. The VA will support about 2,350 
research projects during fiscal year 2011.
    The Committee recommends $590,000,000 for Medical and 
Prosthetic Research, an increase of $9,000,000 above the fiscal 
year 2010 enacted level and the same as the budget request.
    Vietnam veterans longitudinal study.--The Committee 
understands that the VA has reincarnated the national 
longitudinal study of Vietnam veterans that has been moribund 
for much of the decade and that awards are due to be made in 
August 2010. The Committee urges the VA to proceed as quickly 
as possible with the study. The longer the study is delayed, 
the harder it becomes to locate study subjects and develop 
representative sample populations. The Committee directs the VA 
to submit a report by January 1, 2011 detailing the progress 
made with award of the contract; identification of sample 
populations; development of study protocol and research 
questions; and timeframes for completion of research, data 
analysis, and publication of results.
    In addition, the Secretary is urged to conduct 
epidemiological studies of existing VA medical data to 
determine if there are anomalies and differences that become 
apparent based on location of different duty stations or 
periods of service. Results of these studies shall be made 
public by means of submission of articles to recognized peer 
reviewed scientific and medical publications.
    Infrastructure review.--The Committee has not yet received 
the report, requested in 2005, on a comprehensive review of VA 
research facilities and their deficiencies. The Committee 
understands that the work on this report is largely complete 
and directs the VA to provide it by September 1, 2010. As part 
of this review, the Committee also requests an analysis of the 
square footage dedicated to research space that was renovated, 
modified, or constructed in fiscal year 2009 with funding from 
Medical Facilities or Major or Minor Construction and the 
priority ranking of each research facility project in Major or 
Minor Construction for fiscal years 2010 and 2011.

                     medical care collections fund

    The Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Care Collections 
Fund (MCCF) was established by the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 
(Public Law 105-33). The Department deposits first-party and 
pharmacy co-payments, third-party insurance payments and 
enhanced-use collections, long-term care co-payments, 
Compensated Work Therapy Program collections, Compensation and 
Pension Living Expenses Program collections, and Parking 
Program fees into the MCCF. The Department uses these funds for 
medical care and services to veterans. The Congressional Budget 
Office estimate of fees that will be collected in fiscal year 
2011 is $3,393,000,000.

                    National Cemetery Administration





Fiscal year 2010 enacted level........................      $250,000,000
Fiscal year 2011 budget request.......................       250,504,000
Committee recommendation in the bill..................       259,004,000
Comparison with:
    Fiscal year 2010 enacted level....................         9,004,000
    Fiscal year 2011 budget request...................         8,500,000


    The National Cemetery Administration was established in 
accordance with Public Law 93-43, the National Cemeteries Act 
of 1973. It has a fourfold mission: to provide for the 
interment of, in any national cemetery with available grave 
space, the remains of eligible deceased servicemembers and 
discharged veterans, together with their spouses and certain 
dependents, and to permanently maintain their graves; to 
provide headstones for, and to mark graves of eligible persons 
in national, State, and private cemeteries; to administer the 
grant program for aid to States in establishing, expanding, or 
improving State veterans' cemeteries; and to administer the 
Presidential Memorial Certificate Program. This appropriation 
will provide for the operation and maintenance of 164 
cemeterial installations in 39 States, the District of 
Columbia, and Puerto Rico.
    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $259,004,000 
for the National Cemetery Administration, an increase of 
$9,004,000 above the fiscal year 2010 enacted level and 
$8,500,000 above the budget request. The increase is to 
maintain funding for the National Shrine Commitment program, 
which is an initiative to improve the overall appearance and 
condition of cemeteries as identified in the study on 
cemeteries that was submitted to the Congress in 2002.

                      Departmental Administration


                       GENERAL OPERATING EXPENSES




Fiscal year 2010 enacted level........................    $2,086,707,000
Fiscal year 2011 budget request.......................     2,588,389,000
Committee recommendation in the bill..................     2,601,389,000
Comparison with:
    Fiscal year 2010 enacted level....................       514,682,000
    Fiscal year 2011 budget request...................        13,000,000


    The General Operating Expenses appropriation provides for 
the administration of non-medical veterans benefits through the 
Veterans Benefits Administration and departmental management 
and support.
    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $2,601,389,000 
for General Operating Expenses, an increase of $514,682,000 
above the fiscal year 2010 appropriation and $13,000,000 above 
the budget request. The amount provided includes $2,162,776,000 
for the Veterans Benefits Administration.
    The Committee recommendation endorses the budget proposal 
to increase the number of disability claims processors by 
approximately 4,048 (including 1,696 Recovery Act employees 
made permanent). The Committee has been committed to expanding 
the workforce of claims processors since fiscal year 2007, with 
funding provided for over 8,000 new claims processors over the 
last four years. The Committee also endorses the Department's 
initiative to explore new technologies and processes to 
decrease the time it takes to process claims and ensure the 
accuracy of final decisions.
    The Committee does not concur with the budget request to 
reduce 306 Direct FTEs from the Education program, and provides 
$14,000,000 to cover the cost of maintaining these FTEs in the 
Education program. The Committee notes that the VA is 
projecting a 31 percent workload increase from fiscal year 2009 
to fiscal year 2011 due to the new Post-9/11 GI bill program. 
The Committee believes that Veterans would be better served by 
having a claims processing workforce that is adequately trained 
and experienced. The IG noted in a November 2009 report that 
the VBA had to pay $4,300,000 in overtime to process education 
claims, and recommended that the VBA come up with a plan to 
reduce overtime or risk ``employee burn out and diminishing 
returns''.
    In addition to the funds provided in this account, section 
229 of the bill provides an additional $23,584,000 for the 
General Operating Expenses appropriation, as requested by the 
Administration, to increase the Department's acquisition 
workforce capacity and capabilities. The Committee requests a 
report within thirty days of enactment of this Act describing 
how the VA plans to allocate these funds across the permissible 
uses of funds identified in section 229.
    GAO review.--The Committee requests that the Government 
Accountability Office (GAO) prepare a comparative analysis by 
June 1, 2011 of the disability claims process employed by the 
Social Security Administration (SSA) versus that used by the 
VA. The SSA currently receives 1,000,000 disability claims 
annually, while the VA expects to receive more than 1,300,000 
in 2011. The Committee recognizes that there are differences in 
the two systems in areas such as the complexity of 
disabilities, age of the beneficiary, information that must be 
obtained, and VA statutory timelines that protect 
beneficiaries. However, the Committee believes that comparing 
two similarly sized organizations with similar missions could 
provide useful information as the VA struggles to modernize its 
disability claims processing and shorten the time required for 
each claim.
    Additional budgetary information.--The Committee believes 
that the Congressional budget justifications submitted each 
year with the Administration's budget should be expanded to 
include the following information which would help inform 
Congressional decisions:
     Charts listing major budget increases and 
decreases, split into the categories of `built in' and 
`program' for each account.
     A brief explanation of each proviso in an 
account's appropriation bill language and the proposed language 
changes.
     A list of the authorization citations for each 
program that is funded, along with a list of the citations for 
authorized but unfunded programs. Include the authorization 
level and the year the authorization expired or will expire for 
each program.
     A consolidated administrative expenses chart for 
the entire Department.
     A section identifying each piece of directive 
report language from the previous year's House, Senate and 
conference reports and the VA response/action taken for each 
item.
     A chart identifying the number of employees in 
each GS, ES and non-GS level by account as well as the average 
salary of each level for prior year, current year and budget 
year. The chart shall include a breakout between Headquarters 
and Field employees.
     An organization chart for the VA as well as the 
individual Administrations with the names of the occupant of 
each position on the chart.
     A program narrative for the medical facilities 
section.
     A narrative describing each of the programs in the 
readjustment benefits programs rather than just a description 
of increases and decreases.
     Tabs to identify the chapters within the 
justifications.

                     INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SYSTEMS




Fiscal year 2010 enacted level........................    $3,307,000,000
Fiscal year 2011 budget request.......................     3,307,000,000
Committee recommendation in the bill..................     3,222,000,000
Comparison with:
    Fiscal year 2010 enacted level....................      (85,000,000)
    Fiscal year 2011 budget request...................      (85,000,000)


    The Information Technology Systems account was established 
in P.L. 109-114. The account previously encompassed the entire 
non-pay information technology portfolio for the Department of 
Veterans Affairs, including all automation efforts in all 
Administrations. Starting in fiscal year 2007, and reflected 
for the first time in the budget request for fiscal year 2008, 
this account also includes pay and associated costs for 
information technology staff.
    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $3,222,000,000 
for Information Technology Systems, which is $85,000,000 below 
both the fiscal year 2010 appropriation and the budget request. 
The Committee is concerned about the Department's continued 
sluggish expenditure of information technology systems funding 
as the Department works toward implementation of new program 
management processes. The delay in execution is reflected in 
the budget estimate of more than $1,700,000,000 projected to be 
unobligated at the end of both fiscal years 2010 and 2011. 
While the 2.6 percent funding reduction recommendation by the 
Committee is not severe, it makes possible a modest 
reallocation of funding to areas of greater need in the 
Department.
    The Committee has included bill language requiring the 
Department to submit an expenditure plan for the total amount 
provided, not later than 30 days after enactment of this Act. 
In addition, an administrative provision is included in the 
bill which allows for the reprogramming of funds in this 
account among projects upon prior notification to, and approval 
by, the Committee.
    Obligations report.--The Committee expects the Department 
to continue its quarterly obligation report on information 
technology systems using the framework established in the 
initial reprogramming letter received after enactment of the 
appropriations bill. The quarterly obligations report should 
include additional information: a comparison to the total 
project costs included in the base reprogramming letter 
submitted to the Congress, and an explanation for any 
differences in excess of $1,000,000; columns indicating the 
total and fiscal year 2011 cost of the project as reflected in 
the OMB 300b form; the status of the project in the Program 
Management Accountability System (under review, completed, 
outcome); and expected quarterly obligations for each quarter 
of the current and budget fiscal years.

    The Office of Inspector General was established by the 
Inspector General Act of 1978 and is responsible for the audit, 
investigation, and inspection of all Department of Veterans 
Affairs programs and operations. The overall operational 
objective is to focus available resources on areas which would 
help improve services to veterans and their beneficiaries, 
assist managers of Department programs to operate economically 
in accomplishing program goals, and to prevent and deter 
recurring and potential fraud, waste, and inefficiencies.
    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $115,367,000 
for the Office of Inspector General, an increase of $6,367,000 
above the fiscal year 2010 enacted level and $6,000,000 above 
the budget request.
    The Committee includes an increase of $6,000,000 above the 
budget request to allow the Office of Inspector General to 
focus on high priority needs, including, but not limited to, 
the quality of outsourced care; investigations to expose 
fiduciary, and procurement fraud; increase use of computer 
forensics; allow for timely investigations of alleged 
misconduct and allow the expansion of audit coverage of 
information technology systems development, acquisition, and 
implementation.

construction projects and requires notification to the Congress 
of any changes from original scope of work identified in the 
justification material submitted with the budget for each 
project.
    Health Care Center Facilities.--The Committee urges the 
Department to reevaluate its scheduled lease of a new medical 
facility in South Bend, Indiana in light of the urgent need for 
the planned facility expansion of outpatient and specialty care 
and contracted inpatient hospital care.
    The Committee also requests the Department to report by 
February 15, 2011 its plans and completion date for a new 
facility at Leestown Road, Lexington, Kentucky.
    Evaluating site feasibility.--The Committee requests the 
Department to evaluate the benefits of relocating the Carl D. 
Hayden Medical Center in Phoenix, Arizona, to a more accessible 
downtown site. The review should include consideration of the 
specific population to be served, along with possible 
improvements that could be achieved by leveraging the facility 
with other hospitals in the area. The VA should report its 
finding to the Committee by April 1, 2011.
    The specific amounts recommended by the Committee are as 
follows:

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $46,000,000 
for Grants for Construction of State Veterans Cemeteries, the 
same as the fiscal year 2010 enacted level and the budget 
request.

                       Administrative Provisions

    The bill includes 24 provisions that were included in the

Administration.

                     (INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

    Section 220 requires the Department to notify and receive 
approval from the Committees on Appropriations of any proposed

                    (INCLUDING RESCISSION OF FUNDS)

    Section 228 rescinds fiscal year 2011 funds from three 
medical accounts and appropriates them for fiscal year 2011 
with two-year availability. The amounts provided are the same

                     (INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

    Section 229 appropriates $23,584,000 to increase the 
Department of Veterans Affairs acquisition workforce capacity 
and permits the Secretary to transfer these funds to any other 
account in the Department. The Administration proposed this 
language as a general provision.
    Section 230 directs the Secretary to report to the 
Committee within 30 days of enactment of this Act the planned 
funding allocation from each of the Veterans Health 
Administration accounts to the National Reserve Fund and any 
subsequent increase in these allocations of ten percent or

Construction project from being increased without prior 
notification to the Committees on Appropriations of both Houses 
of Congress.

    The American Battle Monuments Commission is responsible for 
the administration, operation and maintenance of cemetery and 
war memorials to commemorate the achievements and sacrifices of 
the American Armed Forces where they have served since April 6, 
1917. In performing these functions, the Commission maintains 
24 permanent American military cemetery memorials and 31 
monuments, memorials, markers, and offices in 15 foreign 
countries, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, 
and the British dependency of Gibraltar. In addition, six 
memorials are located in the United States: the East Coast 
Memorial in New York; the West Coast Memorial, The Presidio in 
San Francisco; the Honolulu Memorial in the National Memorial 
Cemetery of the Pacific in Honolulu, Hawaii; and the American 
Expeditionary Forces Memorial, the World War II, and Korean War 
Veterans Memorials in Washington, DC.
    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $65,667,000 
for the American Battle Monuments Commission's salaries and 
expenses account, $1,467,000 above the budget request.
    Language is included allowing up to $7,500 to be used for 
official reception and representation expenses.
    The increased funding above the budget request will enable 
the Commission to expand its interpretive program in the area 
of interactive programs, similar to those already in place for 
the Normandy campaign and the battle of Pointe du Hoc. The 
Committee directs the Secretary of the Commission to submit a 
report to the Committees on Appropriations, no later than 30 
days after the date of enactment of this Act, detailing the 
spending plan for expansion of the interactive program of the 
interpretive program.

salaries and expenses that exceed the amount appropriated for 
salaries and expenses because of fluctuations in currency 
exchange rates of foreign countries occurring after a budget 
request for the Commission is submitted to the Congress. The 
account may not be used for any other purpose.
    The Committee recommendation includes bill language as 
proposed which makes ``such sums as may be necessary'' 
available to the Commission to cover unanticipated foreign 
currency fluctuations, currently estimated at $20,200,000.

    The Veterans' Judicial Review Act established the U.S. 
Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims. The Court reviews appeals 
from claimants seeking review of a benefit denial. The Court 
has the authority to overturn findings of fact, regulations, 
and interpretations of law.
    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $90,147,000 
for the U.S. Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims, an increase 
of $63,032,000 above the fiscal year 2010 enacted level and the 
same as the budget request. Of the amount provided, $2,515,229 
is to be used for the pro bono representation program.
    The Committee notes that the President's budget request 
includes $62,000,000, which shall be transferred to the General 
Services Administration, for construction of a Veterans 
Courthouse and Justice Center. The Committee recommendation 
includes the amount requested. However, the Committee is aware 
that the initial estimate for the construction of this facility 
is in the process of being revised and directs the Court and 
GSA to keep the Committee fully informed of the most current 
estimates as they are developed.

    The Secretary of the Army is responsible for the 
administration, operation and maintenance of Arlington National 
Cemetery and the Soldiers' and Airmen's Home National Cemetery. 
In addition to its principal function as a national cemetery, 
Arlington is the site of approximately 3,100 non-funeral 
ceremonies each year and has approximately 4,000,000 visitors 
annually.
    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $39,600,000 
for Cemeterial Expenses, Army, salaries and expenses, a 
decrease of $250,000 below the fiscal year 2010 enacted level 
and an increase of $1,500,000 above the budget request.
    The Committee recommendation includes a provision of bill 
language which prohibits the use of any funding for the 
construction of a new perimeter wall at Arlington National 
Cemetery.
    The Committee is very disturbed by the information 
contained in the June 10, 2010 report from the Army Inspector 
General documenting significant problems with the operation of 
Arlington National Cemetery. While the report will be an 
important trigger for management changes at the Cemetery, the 
Committee is dismayed that the report appears to be the first 
independent review since the 1997 Military District of 
Washington Inspector General report. The lack of vigorous 
oversight by the Department of the Army is inexcusable. For 
example, although the Inspector General report highlighted 
deficiencies in the Total Cemetery Management System under 
development at Arlington, two reports from the Department, 
requested by the Committee in 2005 and 2007, indicated that 
project was on track and within cost. This system will be a 
vital component to assuring that grave sites and interments are 
identified and appropriately allocated now and in the future. 
The Committee directs the Department of the Army to provide an 
analysis of the Total Cemetery Management System by September 
1, 2010. The analysis should include an assessment of whether 
TCMS has the capacity required for cemetery management as well 
as a list of all funds obligated to this program to date. The 
Department should also identify specific deliverable benchmarks 
which must be achieved in the TCMS development and 
implementation process. These benchmarks must be achieved 
before additional funds are to be obligated. If the benchmark 
deliverable dates are missed, the Committee must be notified 
within five days as to why the benchmark was not met. If three 
deliverable dates are missed, the program must be halted and 
reevaluated.
    The Committee is also concerned about human resources 
management at Arlington National Cemetery. In eight of the last 
eleven years the Congress has provided more funding than 
requested in the President's budget for Arlington National 
Cemetery, but personnel resources appear to be stretched thin 
according to the Inspector General report. The Committee 
directs the Cemetery to provide by August 1, 2010 a staffing 
plan identifying the number of personnel required to maintain 
the Cemetery and coordinate interments using historical 
timeliness standards compared to current staffing levels and 
timeframes along with the associated funding requirements.
    As a placeholder pending receipt of this report on 
personnel, review of the Total Cemetery Management System 
analysis, and analysis of pending unobligated balances in the 
Cemetery account, the Committee recommendation includes an 
increase of $1,500,000 for additional personnel and related 
costs in fiscal year 2011.

    The Armed Forces Retirement Home (AFRH) consists of two 
retirement communities, one in Washington, D.C. and the other 
in Gulfport, Mississippi. The Washington, D.C. facility was 
established in 1851 as a soldiers' home for elderly and 
disabled veterans. The original home for Navy officers, 
sailors, and Marines was established in Philadelphia, 
Pennsylvania in 1811, and was relocated to Gulfport, 
Mississippi almost a century and a half later.
    The Committee recommendation provides authority to expend 
$69,200,000 from the Armed Forces Retirement Home Trust Fund to 
operate and maintain the Armed Forces Retirement Home--
Washington, District of Columbia, and the Armed Forces 
Retirement Home--Gulfport, Mississippi. The amount recommended 
is $7,200,000 above the fiscal year 2010 enacted level and 
equal to the budget request.

    The Committee recommendation provides authority to expend 
$2,000,000 from the Armed Forces Retirement Home Trust Fund for 
construction and renovations. The amount recommended is 
$70,000,000 below the fiscal year 2010 enacted level and equal 
to the budget request. The fiscal year 2010 program included a 
one-time expense associated with replacement of the Scott 
building on the Washington, DC campus.

                                TITLE IV


                    OVERSEAS CONTINGENCY OPERATIONS


                         Department of Defense

    Overseas Contingency Operations.--The Committee recognizes 
that the existing military construction authorization and 
appropriation process presents a challenge to meeting the 
dynamic and uncertain conditions on the ground in Afghanistan. 
The procedures developed to plan and execute projects for 
peacetime use at domestic military bases are often inadequate 
for to the demands of a theater of war, where shifts in mission 
sets are frequent and a premium is placed on adaptation to 
counter insurgent activity. Projects that have taken months to 
develop for submission to the Congress may be rendered 
unnecessary by events at the time they are approved by law; new 
projects or needs for revised scope may arise which are urgent 
but which cannot be addressed without resorting to statutory 
emergency authorities and an often lengthy process of 
notification, approval, and reprogramming. The commanders in 
theater must have some flexibility to address new facility 
requirements without burdensome delay. For the past several 
years, beginning with the National Defense Authorization Act 
for Fiscal Year 2004, the Department of Defense has obtained 
``Contingency Construction Authority'' to use operation and 
maintenance funds to address such emergent and unforeseen needs 
in Iraq, Afghanistan, and other locations in Southwest and 
Central Asia. As of the end of the second quarter of fiscal 
year 2010, a total of $1,376,737,000 has been obligated 
pursuant to this authority. The use of operation and 
maintenance funding, however, must be weighed against other 
critical requirements funded by these accounts, and defeats the 
purpose of having dedicated military construction funding.
    At the same time, the Committee must preserve its ability 
and responsibility to conduct oversight of military 
construction for Afghanistan or any other contingency 
operation. The Committee therefore recommends the funding 
according to categories utilized by the Construction Exhibit, 
or C-1, that was submitted with the budget request. The 
Committee directs the Secretaries of the Army and Air Force to 
submit spending plans for the funds provided in the bill no 
later than 30 days after enactment of this Act, and thereafter 
to submit a quarterly update on the use of funds, using the 
same format as the quarterly reports provided for the use of 
the Contingency Construction Authority. Additionally, the 
Committee directs that the following guidelines and 
restrictions shall apply to the military construction funds 
provided in this title:
          --The Secretaries of the Army and Air Force shall 
        notify the Committee within 7 days of any scope or cost 
        variations (both increases and decreases) exceeding 20 
        percent or $2,000,000, whichever is less, for any 
        projects identified in the spending plans. The 
        Secretaries shall also notify the Committee of new 
        projects not identified in the spending plans 14 days 
        prior to obligation;
          --The funds for each category shall be available for 
        any project eligible for that category according to the 
        guidelines used in the C-1. Should the Secretary of the 
        Army or the Air Force determine that funds are required 
        for any project that will cause obligations to exceed 
        any of the category amounts specified in this report, 
        or to provide for a construction project that falls 
        under a category not specified in this report, he or 
        she shall notify the Committee of this determination 14 
        days prior to obligating funds for the project;
          --Minor construction projects are not required to be 
        identified in the spending plans but remain subject to 
        the requirements of 10 U.S.C. 2805; and
          --Funds made available to the Army and Air Force 
        shall only be available for projects to support 
        contingency operations in Afghanistan and shall not be 
        used to support any enduring missions.

Operations. Of the amount recommended, the Committee provides 
that $10,000,000 shall be made available by transfer to the 
Department of Defense Inspector General for the purpose of 
auditing military construction projects in Afghanistan. The 
Committee includes this provision to ensure that such projects 
are being constructed according to standards and procedures 
that ensure protection of the life, health, and safety of U.S. 
military and civilian personnel while safeguarding the 
interests of taxpayers.

 ADDITIONAL VIEWS OF REPRESENTATIVES LEWIS, WAMP, YOUNG, CRENSHAW, AND 
                                 CARTER

    This year for the first time since the enactment of the 
1974 Congressional Budget Act, the Democrat controlled U.S. 
House of Representatives failed to consider and pass a budget. 
According to the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service, 
the House has passed a budget every year since the 
Congressional Budget Act first took effect for fiscal year 
1976. This represents a historic and unprecedented failure by 
the Democrat controlled Congress to meet a basic responsibility 
on fiscal issues: to annually adopt a spending plan that sets 
priorities for spending, revenues, deficits and debt for at 
least the next five years.
    Instead, the Democrat Majority resorted to a tortuous 
procedural sleight-of-hand to evade a direct vote in order to 
``deem'' the adoption of a one-year resolution that provided 
the Appropriations Committee a topline discretionary amount for 
FY 2011 while failing to provide a designation for overseas 
military contingencies despite promising for years that they 
would never fund the war in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere as 
an emergency or outside the regular budget process. This 
unwillingness to pass a real budget was only necessary because 
of the explosion of debt and deficits unleashed by the reckless 
spending of Congressional Democrats and the President.
    In contrast, the Republican Members of the Appropriations 
Committee recognize the Nation can't afford another trillion 
dollar Democrat spending spree or the massive borrowing that 
will be needed to finance it, meaning even more taxes in the 
future on American families, small businesses and 
entrepreneurs. CBO's recent report on the Long-Term Budget 
Outlook shows that under our current budget path, U.S. debt 
will soon reach unsustainable levels. Additionally, 
Appropriations Republicans proposed an alternative FY 2011 
spending allocation that would have provided $1.090 trillion in 
regular discretionary spending, the same as last year's level, 
and put the brakes on the runaway growth in discretionary 
spending.
    This responsible spending plan proposed by Committee 
Republicans would have saved the taxpayer $31 billion this year 
alone compared to the suballocations adopted by the majority 
and at least $39 billion, if not more, compared to the 
President's Budget request. And by ensuring the Democrat 
spending increase was not permanently added to future budgets, 
the Republican plan saved $341 billion in budget authority over 
the next decade compared to the House Democrat allocation. The 
Republican plan included the funding levels that the President 
requested in his fiscal year 2011 budget for the agencies and 
programs funded in this Military Construction, Veterans Affairs 
and Related Agencies bill.
    The fiscal year 2011 appropriations bill for Military 
Construction, Veterans' Affairs and Related Agencies provides 
$18.7 billion for military construction, family housing and 
quality of life projects for those serving in our all-volunteer 
military. For those that have served our nation in the 
military, the bill provides nearly $121 billion for mandatory 
and discretionary programs within the Department of Veterans 
Affairs. The bill also provides $286 million for the monuments 
and cemeteries that honor our fallen heroes, and $1.3 billion 
for the war on terror.
    The Military Construction portion of this bill includes 
$18.7 billion in new budget authority for fiscal year 2011. 
These funds will allow the military to construct projects that 
are a high priority for the services, the commanders in the 
field, and to the families that equally share in the burden of 
service to our country. To that end, we want to recognize the 
continuation of the guard/reserve and troop trainee barracks 
initiatives that are funded in the bill. The $390 million to 
fund these critical unmet needs are a prime example of this 
subcommittee ensuring that we are working together to meet 
unbudgeted, yet high priority, requirements for all of our 
troops.
    We support the decision to promote the more efficient and 
expeditious use of funding for the war on terror by providing 
these funds to construction categories rather than to specific 
projects. This approach should allow commanders in the field 
some flexibility to address facility requirements without the 
notification requirements that can take several weeks to clear 
through the bureaucracy. We look forward to working with the 
majority to ensure that this approach is adopted by the 
conference committee.
    Funding for the Department of Veterans Affairs in the bill 
is $121 billion, of which $64 billion is mandatory. The bill 
includes $50.6 billion in advance appropriations for VA medical 
care for fiscal year 2012. This is in addition to the $48.6 
billion in advance appropriations for VA medical care that the 
fiscal year 2010 bill made available ensuring that regardless 
of where we stand on October 1, 2010 with the appropriations 
process, our veterans should have full access to their medical 
care. While on the subject of advance appropriations, we are 
concerned that the timeframes for OMB's apportionment process 
and VA's allocation process are hard to predict, and as a 
result advance appropriations may not get apportioned/allocated 
in a timely manner. We remain committed to the language in the 
fiscal year 2010 conference report and we expect the advance 
appropriations funds to be made available to the Veterans 
Integrated Service Networks on October 1, 2010.
    The Chairman's subcommittee mark recommended a $50 million 
cut to the VA Information Technology (IT) account. While the 
cut is minuscule in contrast to the $1.7 billion in unobligated 
balances that the VA is projecting at the end of fiscal year 
2010 and fiscal year 2011 in this account, the fact that it 
represents a cut is commendable. The Committee has used these 
funds to increase VA's Minor Construction account by $40 
million, the National Cemetery Administration by $8.5 million, 
and Arlington National Cemetery by $1.5 million. There were 
three amendments that were offered at the Subcommittee that cut 
an additional $35 million from this account.
    VA's IT account has consistently received negative reviews 
from the General Accounting Office and VA's Inspector General. 
The VA has taken steps to address IT management, and we believe 
they have made some improvements; however, $1.7 billion in 
unobligated balances projected for two successive fiscal years 
illustrate that the VA has a ways to go before these issues are 
resolved.
    The Office of Inspector General provides invaluable audit 
and inspection oversight to the Committee, the Congress and the 
Secretary. Unfortunately, this is the only account in VA that 
did not receive an increase even though the fiscal year 2011 
budget request increased overall by more than 10 percent over 
fiscal year 2010. The IG's budget request of $109 million would 
only have allowed it to maintain current services.
    The IG testified in February, and indicated additional 
funds above the request would allow the IG to focus on the 
quality of outsourced care which has grown to $3.8 billion; 
increase proactive investigations to expose fiduciary and 
procurement fraud; expose VHA employee drug diversion; increase 
use of computer forensics; allow for timely investigations of 
alleged misconduct by senior officials; and allow the expansion 
of audit coverage of IT systems development, acquisition, and 
implementation.
    This is the one account that represents effective 
stewardship of taxpayer dollars, and, as such, Ranking Member 
Wamp offered an amendment at Subcommittee to provide an 
additional $6 million for the VA Inspector General. The 
Subcommittee overwhelmingly adopted the amendment.
    The budget submitted by the President proposed to cut 306 
claims processors from the Education program. At the same time, 
the VA is projecting a 30 percent increase in workload for GI 
Bill benefit claims between fiscal year 2009 and fiscal year 
2011. The justification to reduce claims processors is based on 
the assumption that productivity from more experienced staff 
and automated processing of new GI bill claims would allow this 
staff reduction. The OIG has noted that it takes about a year 
to become proficient in processing claims, but the Veterans 
Benefit Administration (VBA) was having claims processers 
process claims after only 2 months of training. This led to 
errors and time wasted.
    A November 2009 OIG report said that VBA paid $4.3 million 
in overtime to process education claims, with the most overtime 
being in September and October. The IG recommended that VBA 
come up with a plan to reduce its overtime or risk ``employee 
burn out and diminishing returns''. Reducing claims processors 
at this time will only add to this problem.
    The first phase of long term IT solution was supposed to 
begin in spring 2010, but the VA has not shown any evidence 
that the solution is going to be in place to have an impact for 
the fall 2010 application surge. The IG is currently engaged in 
an audit into the emergency payments that were being made last 
fall/spring in which some VA offices were hand-writing benefit 
checks. Mr. Crenshaw offered an amendment that restored this 
critical staffing in the Education Program, and the amendment 
was adopted by the Subcommittee on a bipartisan vote.
    The majority included provisions in the bill and report 
that direct the VA to be more transparent with their budget 
documents and other reporting requirements. We commend the 
majority for including these provisions.
    There is an alarming rate of growth in Departmental 
Administration accounts at the VA. Since fiscal year 2009, 
Departmental Administration has grown overall by 38 percent, 
from $336 million in fiscal year 2009 to $463 million in fiscal 
year 2011, an increase of $127 million. A look inside some of 
the individual offices reveals some of the astonishing growth:

*Accounts showing 20 percent or more increase since FY 2009.

    While it is important that Departmental Administration 
accounts have adequate funding to provide necessary services, 
we believe that some of these funds would be put to better use 
by hiring more claims processors or even reducing the deficit.
    The bill provides $286 million for the Related Agencies. 
The Committee's recommendation of $39.6 million for Arlington 
National Cemetery (ANC) is $1.5 million above the request. The 
additional funding is to pay for resource requirements in 
response to recent Army Office of Inspector General findings at 
the cemetery. The new Executive Director at Arlington reported 
on July 1 that it would take at least 45 to 60 days before she 
has a handle on what additional requirements she may need.
    The Committee also included language directing the ANC to 
submit a report on implementation of the Total Cemetery 
Management System (TCMS). Mr. Young of Florida offered an 
amendment that was adopted by the Subcommittee that includes 
reporting requirements on benchmarks/deliverables of the TCMS.
    The Committee included $64.667 million for the American 
Battle Monuments Commission (ABMC), an increase of $467,000 
above the budget request to pay for an enhanced web-based 
virtual tour system for the ABMC. The Committee has not 
received any justification for this increase. The Commission 
Secretary did testify that the ABMC would like to begin working 
on this enhancement; however, this increase is without any 
justification whatsoever. Mr. Lewis offered an amendment at 
Subcommittee that requires a spending plan be submitted to the 
Committee before these funds can be obligated. The amendment 
received the full support of the Subcommittee.
    In conclusion, we commend the majority for doing an 
excellent job of producing a bill that shows unwavering support 
for our men and women in uniform, for those who have served our 
country in the military, and for the monuments and cemeteries 
that honor our fallen heroes. This bill deserves the support of 
all Members of the House.
