classified program adjustments
The Committee recommends adjustments to certain classified
programs, as explained in the classified annex to the
Committee's report.
Government Performance and Results Act
The Committee has closely examined the Department's
performance plan for fiscal year 1999, and considered the
extensive review undertaken by the General Accounting Office
[GAO] to evaluate the compliance of the plan with the Results
Act. The Committee commends the evaluation and recommendations
presented by GAO, and anticipates the ongoing participation of
GAO in monitoring the Department's compliance and progress
under the Results Act.
The Department of Defense faces many external factors,
related to unpredictable international security challenges,
that make specific, identifiable, and quantifiable data
difficult to project and calculate. The Department's six
strategic goals define broad mission priorities, but these
parameters do not satisfy the criteria specified in the Results
Act as performance goals. To better enable Congress and OMB to
monitor the Department's compliance with the Results Act, the
Committee recommends that the Secretary provide both mission
and functional operational performance goals in the
Department's fiscal year 2000 performance plan.
Specifically, the Department should establish performance
goals for recruiting and retention of military personnel, depot
financial and logistics performance, real property maintenance,
training priorities, unit readiness, weapons system testing,
and contractor cost performance on procurement and research and
development programs. These factors will present to the
Congress a more specific and genuine measure of the
effectiveness of Department of Defense programs and budget
priorities.
The defense reform initiative [DRI], led by the Deputy
Secretary of Defense, should be an effective engine within the
Department to utilize the Results Act to achieve the cost-
saving efficiencies and improvements described by the Secretary
in testimony before the Committee. The performance plan for
fiscal year 2000 should address DRI objectives for that year,
and establish measures to assess DRI accomplishments. These
revised performance goals and DRI proposals should accompany
the fiscal year 2000 budget request to the Congress.
The fiscal year 1999 performance plan was only of marginal
benefit to the Congress, and limited in scope. The adjustments
proposed for fiscal year 2000 will enhance the value of this
plan to the Congress, and ensure improved compliance by the
Department with the Results Act.
Compliance With 302(b) Allocation
The Appropriations Committee conformed fully to the budget
resolution for defense spending in its 302(b) allocation. This
allocation divided the budget authority and outlays among the
subcommittees with jurisdiction over discretionary spending.
The Defense Subcommittee has the greatest share of defense
spending. In this recommended bill, the Appropriations
Committee has remained within the tight constraints of its
302(b) allocation for defense.

Pay raise.--The President's fiscal year 1999 budget request
recommends a 3.1-percent pay raise for military personnel. The
Committee supports this pay increase to help ensure that
military compensation remains attractive and competitive with
private sector pay, and that the military services continue to
attract and retain highly qualified volunteers. This increase
is effective January 1, 1999.
Global military force policy [GMFP].--The global military
force policy is a Department of Defense force management tool
which allows the Secretary of Defense, and Chairman of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff to balance the requirements of
warfighting commanders in chief [CINC's] with limited service
resources. CINC's require certain limited assets with unique
mission capabilities to support ongoing operations. These
assets, referred to as low density-high demand [LDHD], are
stressed by a consistently high operational tempo.
The Committee recognizes the Department's day-to-day
efforts to balance limited assets against high CINC demand.
Nevertheless, a pattern of LDHD assets stressed over the long
term, suggests a mismatch between force structure and CINC
requirements. Accordingly, the Committee requires the following
report: not later than 90 days from enactment of this bill, the
Secretary of Defense shall submit a report to the defense
committees which describes necessary measures to modify the
force structure of LDHD units, to include manpower and
equipment. In identifying these force structure changes, the
report shall describe cost savings to be found from within
existing end strength levels of units less relevant to CINC
demands, or warfighting needs. The report shall also describe
any assets from each of the services and components which does
not appear on the LDHD list, yet may substitute for LDHD
assets. The Secretary may also provide any proposals for
expanding or converting reserve component force structure to
augment LDHD assets.
Advance pay policy change.--The 1999 budget request
contained $301,000,000 to implement a DOD policy change for
obligation of funds for advance pay. After consultation with
the Department of Defense, and the Senate authorization
committee, the Committee concludes that these funds, and the
policy change, are not required.

operation and maintenance overview
Appropriations under this title finance the cost of
operating and maintaining U.S. Armed Forces, including Guard
and Reserve components and Department of Defense agencies.
These funds are used to purchase fuel and spare parts for
training activities, pay civilian personnel, purchase supplies,
equipment and service contracts for repairing weapons systems
and facilities, and finance other personnel support programs.
servicewide operation and maintenance programs
o&m support of military forces
real property maintenance
In fiscal year 1998, the Committee added $724,620,000 to
assist in reducing the extensive backlog of real property
maintenance, with $360,000,000 provided in the ``Quality of
life enhancements, defense'' account for the repair and
improvement of housing, barracks, and dining facilities
throughout the Department of Defense.
This year, the Committee provides an additional
$264,000,000, but has distributed these funds among the
individual service operation and maintenance accounts for
transfer into the ``Quality of life enhancements, defense''
account. As was the case with this account in preceding years,
these funds will remain available for 2 years, until September
30, 2000, and shall be used only for the maintenance and repair
of barracks, dormitories or other personnel support facilities
within the United States and its territories. The Committee
directs each service Secretary to provide a report to the
congressional defense committees on all additional projects to
be funded prior to any obligation of funds or contract awards,
and no later than March 15, 1999. This report shall include
project description and location, estimated cost, and projected
commencement and completion dates.
contingency operations mwr fund
The Committee provides $50,000,000 in this new account to
fund shortfalls in the morale, welfare, and recreational
services available to troops deployed in support of contingency
operations and their families, and to address retention and
reenlistment shortfalls in critical military occupational
specialties.
pentagon renovaton transfer fund
The Committee has consolidated the funding for the
Pentagon's ongoing renovation from the service and defensewide
operation and maintenance accounts into a separate fund within
title II. The total transferred to this new account from the
Washington Headquarters Service includes the renovation
payments attributed to the BMDO, DIA, NSA, NIMA, and DOHA. The
Committee directs the Department of Defense to utilize this
fund for future budget request submissions to the Congress,
with a delineation of contributions by department and
organization.
nato sustainment transfer account
The Committee continues to harbor significant concerns
regarding the actual costs of expanding and maintaining the
NATO alliance. Over the months preceding the ratification vote
on NATO expansion, the Committee's efforts to determine past
expenditure levels and historical data on U.S. costs in support
of NATO often resulted in the receipt of inconsistent or
incomplete data. In an effort to bring greater visibility to
the important contribution that the United States makes to the
NATO alliance, the Committee directs the Secretary of Defense
to establish a separate ``NATO sustainment transfer'' account
and to move all NATO and NATO-related programs and funding into
this account in future budget requests, commencing in fiscal
year 2000.
fact-of-life adjustments
flying hour shortfalls
The Committee has provided additional funds in the Navy and
Air Force operation and maintenance accounts to mitigate the
impact of identified shortfalls in flying hour funding.
foreign currency fluctuation
The Committee has made adjustments to the accounts in this
title which reflect projected savings as a result of favorable
currency rate changes, as authorized in the Senate Armed
Services Committee Report 105-189.
fuel pricing differential
The Senate Armed Services Committee examined the impact of
the current reduced prices for oil and fuel and noted that
significant savings can be expected in fiscal year 1999 as a
result of these changes. In light of a continuing downward
trend in these prices, the Committee has reduced the operation
and maintenance accounts to reflect an expected savings of
$454,000,000.
civilian personnel underexecution
The Committee has directed reductions in the service and
defensewide operation and maintenance accounts in concert with
the action taken in Senate Armed Services Committee Report 105-
189.
defense acquisition university transfer
The Committee supports the Department of Defense decision
to move the Defense Acquisition University to the network of
National Defense University institutions and expects that this
consolidation will reap significant savings and efficiencies as
a result of shared infrastructure, resources, and technical
support. Subsequently, the Committee reduces the total amount
appropriated by $8,500,000.

COMMITTEE ADJUSTMENTS
Ammunition management.--The Committee commends the
Department of the Army for its efforts to increase funding for
ammunition care and maintenance in order to reduce the growing
backlog developing in conventional munitions sustainment. In
order to support this effort, the Committee has raised the
legislated floor to $375,000,000 in fiscal year 1999.
Fort Chaffee Maneuver Training Center.--The Committee
recognizes that the Fort Chaffee Maneuver Training Center has
received heavy usage by both Active and Reserve component units
since its transfer to the Arkansas National Guard. However, the
post's long-term viability as a training site is reduced by the
deteriorating condition of many of its facilities. Therefore,
the Committee provides $1,000,000 to commence the conversion of
one of Fort Chaffee's old World War II known distance ranges
into a remote electronic target system range.
Domestic preparedness sustainment training.--The Committee
recognizes the need to provide first responders with long-term
training, refresher training, and realistic exercises to ensure
proper preparation for chemical and biological incidents and
terrorism. The Committee directs the Army to establish a
Domestic Preparedness Sustainment Training Center in existing
facilities at the Pine Bluff Arsenal, AR, and further directs
that the Department of Defense work with the Department of
Justice and other Federal agencies to incorporate the Domestic
Preparedness Sustainment Training Center and Pine Bluff
Arsenal's other unique research, laboratory, and production
capabilities into national domestic preparedness planning.
Advanced local emergency response team.--The U.S. Army
Soldiers and Chemical Biological Command currently provides
response training to the threat of urban terrorism to 120
cities nationwide. An advanced local emergency response team
[ALERT] could demonstrate the feasibility of the current
training program and provide feedback to the Army for potential
training modifications. The Committee provides $1,000,000 to
initiate a pilot program in Charlotte, NC. These funds will
support the purchase of equipment, support services,
administrative services, and training.
AIM XXI.--The Committee has fully funded the Army's depot
maintenance requirements and directs the Army to give priority
to the AIM XXI Program.
Rotary wing aircraft sustainment project.--The Committee
directs that $3,500,000 may be used for the rotary wing
aircraft sustainment project at the Corpus Christi Army Depot.
Air battle captain.--The Committee recommends $1,000,000
for the Air Battle Captain Program and directs the Army to
recruit no fewer than 15 ROTC cadets during fiscal year 1999.
Within this amount, the Committee includes $200,000
specifically for air battle captain recruitment efforts. The
Committee is aware that the Army has neglected to recruit
students for this program and is concerned that this has
affected the cost effectiveness of the program.
Hospital renovation.--The Committee recommends that, from
within the funds allocated for Army maintenance of real
property, $10,000,000 shall be made available only for
infrastructure repairs at the Fitzsimmons Army Hospital.
Walla Walla, WA.--This Committee is aware of the
longstanding concern regarding deteriorating structures on the
former Department of Defense site in Walla Walla, WA, which
have most recently served as the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers'
district headquarters. Previous Congresses have appropriated
funds for studies, engineering, and bid documents. The
Committee urges the Secretary to proceed with the demolition
project.
Environmental cleanup at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal, CO.--
The Rocky Mountain Arsenal [RMA] has been the focus of an
aggressive soil and ground water contamination cleanup program
since the mid-1980's. The contamination is the result of two
decades of onsite disposal of hazardous waste associated with
manufacturing and testing chemical agents and other munitions.
In addition, portions of the arsenal were leased to Shell Oil
for the manufacture of pesticides from 1952 to 1987.
In 1987, RMA was listed on the National Priority List
[NPL], with the Department of the Army placed in charge of the
cleanup. The Army and Shell have spent nearly $1,000,000,000 to
date for cleanup activities at RMA. The actual implementation
of the remedy is moving forward. The dialog between the parties
and regulators appears to be productive and the community is
the beneficiary of oversight by the State of Colorado, U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency, and tri-county health
department. The RMA cleanup has become a model for Federal,
State, and local cooperation when implementing cleanup
projects, and changes and improvements have already been seen
by all the parties. The Committee continues to support the RMA
cleanup project and urges the Department of the Army to ensure
that this critical cleanup is completed in a timely manner.

SUMMARY OF COMMITTEE ADJUSTMENTS
Allocations of the Committee adjustments are made for each
operation and maintenance, Navy funding category identified in
the Department's O-1 submission. A table showing the budget
estimate, Committee adjustment, and recommended funding level
by O-1 category is provided below. Proposed transfers of funds

COMMITTEE ADJUSTMENTS
O&M SUPPORT OF MILITARY FORCES
Barrow landfill.--Of the funds provided in this account,
the Committee directs the Department of the Navy to provide
$2,500,000 for costs associated with the closure of the Barrow
landfill. The Department of Defense sited, developed, and
managed this landfill for 31 years, with the Naval Arctic
Research Laboratory located at Barrow as the primary user of
the facility. The Committee urges the Department of Defense to
work with the North Slope Borough in closing the landfill and
determining continuing funding responsibilities. These funds
should be provided to the appropriate local government entity.
Shipyard Apprenticeship Program.--The Committee recommends
an increase of $14,000,000 to establish a new Shipyard
Apprenticeship Program at the public shipyards. The downsizing
over the past decade at our Navy shipyards has increased the
average age of the shipyard worker to nearly 45 years, and
limited the ability of Navy managers to hire new apprentices.
The Committee believes this matter requires immediate attention
and directs that the Navy initiate a program within the next 90
days to address the aging work force at all four public
shipyards. Funds have been added to augment working capital
funds and other resources to ensure that this program is not
forced to compete with depot maintenance requirements. The
Committee expects these funds shall only be used to hire new
apprentices, and that the funding provided shall be in addition
to any other resources requested in the budget for work force
revitalization. The Committee directs the Navy to report to the
Appropriations Committees by April 1, 1999, on the
implementation of this program, by shipyard.
Lift bridge repair.--From within the amounts provided for
real property maintenance and minor construction, $17,500,000
shall be available only for repair and refurbishment of the
lift bridge providing access to the former Philadelphia Navy
Shipyard.
Shipyard infrastructure repairs.--The Committee recommends
that within the funds allocated for Navy maintenance of real
property, $15,000,000 shall be used only for infrastructure
repairs at the Charleston Naval Shipyard.
Pacific Missile Range facility [PMRF].--The Committee
recommends $40,222,0000 for operations at PMRF, an increase of
$6,000,000 above the budget, to account for shortfalls in the
request. The amount recommended is $6,196,000 less than
provided for fiscal year 1998. A consolidated contract for
range and base operations is expected to generate significant
savings in the cost of operations at the range in the coming
year. The Committee expects that additional funding will be
made available to support range and base operations
requirements if contract costs exceed current expectations.

budget request.
SUMMARY OF COMMITTEE ADJUSTMENTS
Allocations of the Committee adjustments are made for each
operation and maintenance, Marine Corps funding category
identified in the Department's O-1 submission. A table showing
the budget estimate, Committee adjustment, and recommended
funding level by O-1 category is provided below. Proposed

O&M SUPPORT OF MILITARY FORCES
Combat ranges.--Prior to obligating or expending any of the
additional funds provided for combat training ranges, the
Secretary of the Air Force shall provide a written report to
the Senate Appropriations Committee detailing the plan for
distribution of these funds to the various range facilities.
B-52 attrition reserve aircraft.--The Committee directs
that this funding be used to operate and maintain the current
force structure of 94 B-52's and to continue standard
maintenance and upgrades on the attrition reserve aircraft.
Additionally, the Committee directs the Air Force to treat all
94 B-52's now in the force structure as aircraft to be retained
for the 6-year period beginning October 1, 1998.
CINC support aircraft.--The Committee recognizes the
challenges facing the Department due to the age, excessive
support costs, and operational restrictions of the C-137 and C-
135 aircraft fleets. The Committee understands the Department
has considered several options to address the lack of reliable,
affordable, and appropriate aircraft assets to meet these
requirements. Current mission needs and resources do not
support dedicated, large, intercontinental support aircraft for
each regional Commander in Chief [CINC]. The Committee
especially rejects, and opposes any funding for the conversion
of operational air refueling tanker aircraft for the CINC
support mission.
The Committee directs that the Deputy Secretary of Defense
and the Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs implement the
consolidation of all existing CINC support aircraft into a
centrally managed pool, dispersed to key geographic locations.
These aircraft should be available to support all departmental
missions and requirements, not reserved for the use of a single
headquarters. Allocation of aircraft assets should be made on a
mission priority basis, irrespective of regional location. This
plan should be presented to the congressional defense
committees not later than March 1, 1999.
The Committee includes funds in the procurement title of
this bill to purchase two new C-37A aircraft to immediately
address the need for aircraft replacement. These smaller
aircraft, with drastically lower operation and support costs,
will better meet the mission requirement for CINC
transportation. These aircraft should be modified to the
minimum level, remaining fairly common with similar aircraft
serving similar purposes in the commercial marketplace. This
approach ensures that the Department can recover a portion of
this investment if the aircraft are subsequently replaced, or
if leasing of such support aircraft can be initiated.
One of the new aircraft should be deployed to MacDill Air
Force Base as part of the pool to support the Southern,
Central, Special Operations Forces and Atlantic Commands. The
second new aircraft should be deployed to Hickam Air Force Base
as part of the pool to support the Pacific Command--including
Korea, the Pacific Air Forces, the Pacific Fleet, and U.S. Army
Pacific. The plan presented by the Deputy Secretary of Defense
and the Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs should address any
additional requirement for replacement aircraft, and the
deployment sites for the entire support fleet.
C-130J schoolhouse training.--The Committee endorses the
Air Force's decision to keep C-130 schoolhouse training
centralized in the C-130 formal training unit [FTU] at Little
Rock AFB, AR. Subsequently, the Committee directs the Air Force
to examine the viability of basing C-130J's at Little Rock Air
Force Base and implementing the C-130J schoolhouse training
there and to report their findings to the Committee not later
than February 1, 1999.
Air Force Plant No. 34, Tulsa, OK.--The Committee commends
the Department of the Air Force for the expeditious obligation
of environmental cleanup funds for the ground contamination
present at the facility as directed by the Committee in fiscal
year 1998. The Committee, however, remains concerned about
other environmental contamination present onsite, particularly
in the above-ground structures. The Committee directs the
Secretary of the Air Force to investigate these hazards and
report on these risks to the congressional defense committees
no later than March 1, 1999. The report should also include a
detailed obligation schedule that fully addresses these
concerns before the actual title transfer to the city of Tulsa.
Radioactive iodine experimentation.--The Committee strongly
encourages the Air Force to equitably and expeditiously resolve
the pending claim filed on behalf of the Inupiat Eskimos who
were subjected to radioactive iodine 131 experimentation by the
Air Force in the mid-1950's. These Alaskan Natives were used as
experimental subjects without informed consent by the Arctic
Aeromedical Laboratory.
other air force programs
Civil Air Patrol.--The Committee directs the Secretary of
the Air Force to provide the following amounts for the Civil
Air Patrol:
CAP operations:
O&M................................................. $20,654,000
Procurement......................................... 4,941,000
Counternarcotics.................................... 3,715,000
The amounts delineated above are $10,037,000 above the
amount requested by the Air Force for Civil Air Patrol
requirements.
The Committee understands that the Air Force has been
reviewing the question of the impact, if any, of the Federal
Grant and Cooperative Agreement Act of 1977 to the Air Force's
funding of the Civil Air Patrol. The Committee directs the Air
Force to discontinue its efforts to implement changes to
funding policies and procedures for the Civil Air Patrol,
including application of the Federal Grant and Cooperative
Agreement Act of 1977, so Congress can fully review the impact
of these proposed changes. The Committee further directs that
the Air Force and the Civil Air Patrol submit a joint report on
possible improvements to funding policies and procedures to the
Committee no later than December 1, 1998.

COMMITTEE ADJUSTMENTS
Northern Edge Joint Training and Exercise Program.--The
Committee provides $7,000,000 for the U.S. Pacific Command's
Northern Edge Joint Training and Exercise Program. This
exercise program supports a series of joint and combined
military exercises and training in the north Pacific region.
Training scenarios range from military operations other than
war to large-scale theater warfare.
Defense Threat Reduction and Treaty Compliance Agency.--The
Committee acknowledges the need confirmed by the defense reform
initiative [DRI] to reduce the significant overlap and
duplication of effort by the numerous organizations which were
recently consolidated into this new agency. However, the
savings estimated by the Department is considered to be overly
conservative, considering the substantial number of
assimilations and functional transfers, and reduces funding by
$27,400,000. The Committee has also reduced funding by
$13,500,000 as a result of expected delays in treaty
implementation and scheduled inspections.
Procurement Technical Assistance Program [PTAP].--The
Committee commends the Department for including the Procurement
Technical Assistance Program funding in this year's budget
request and subsequently provides full funding for this
worthwhile initiative. The Committee directs that PTAP be
designated as a separate special interest program, with written
approval by the Appropriations Committees required prior to any
below-threshold reprogramming from this line.
Partnership for Peace Program.--The Committee notes that
the budget submission for the Partnership for Peace Program has
increased by more than 22 percent over the fiscal year 1998
level. This growth is considered excessive, in light of the
difficult funding choices being faced in the readiness accounts
of the active forces. Of the funds recommended by the
Committee, $3,000,000 has been provided for the PFP information
management system [PIMS].
other defense programs
Legacy Program.--The Committee provides $10,000,000 for
continuation of the Legacy Program. The Department is expected
to program adequate funding for this program in fiscal year
1999.
Charleston Macalloy site.--The Committee notes the history
of the Defense Logistics Agency [DLA] inventory location 429
(Macalloy site), Charleston, SC, and its manufacture of the
alloy, ferrochromium, for the Department of Defense. A
remediation plan for this site is currently being developed
which will address both Federal and State environmental issues
associated with chromium pollutants. The Committee directs the
Department to determine whether this site is eligible under the
formerly used defense sites [FUDS] project criteria and report
to the congressional defense committees by February 1, 1999, on
the results of this assessment.
Security locks.--Federal specification FF-L-2740A was
established by the Inter-Agency Committee on Security Equipment
as the standard for providing secure protection of sensitive
classified material. The Committee has supported the Department
of Defense's efforts to retrofit existing containers with
security locks that conform to this specification and the
Department's procurement of new conforming containers. However,
the Committee is concerned that sensitive classified material
in the possession of defense contractors is not subject to the
same protection. While new containers purchased by defense
contractors must have locks which meet or exceed this
specification, there remain a number of older containers which
fall below the prescribed standard.
The Committee, therefore, directs the Under Secretary of
Defense for Acquisition and Technology to report to the defense
committees on the DOD plan to ensure that defense contractors
in possession of classified material retrofit all security
containers which do not have security locks which meet Federal
specification FF-L-2740A, no later than December 15, 1998.
Community retraining, reinvestment, and manufacturing
initiative.--The Department is directed to make available, from
existing funds, up to $8,000,000 for a community retraining,
reinvestment, and manufacturing initiative to be conducted by
an academic consortia with existing programs in manufacturing
and retraining.
CIVIL-MILITARY PROGRAMS
The Committee continues to support the Department's civil-
military programs and provides a total of $88,394,000 for
fiscal year 1999 as follows:
[In thousands of dollars]
Youth Challenge Program....................................... 62,394
Innovative readiness training................................. 20,000
Starbase Youth Program........................................ 6,000
-----------------------------------------------------------------
________________________________________________
Total................................................... 88,394
The Committee directs the Department to report to the
Committees on Appropriations on the status of the obligation of
these funds not later than February 15, 1999.
Innovative readiness training.--The Department has
conducted civil-military innovative readiness training [IRT]
throughout the United States since the early 1990's. Through
the use of Active and Reserve component personnel, this program
provides community support in the areas of health care,
engineering, and infrastructure. These combat support and
service support units gain valuable hands-on mission essential
training. The Committee continues to strongly support this
realistic training and endorses such projects as Guardcare and
Walking Shield. The Committee believes that the Department
should expand the scope of the readiness training initiatives
to include native American groups when appropriate and
compatible with mission requirements.
Institute for National Security Studies
The Committee commends the Institute for National Security
studies at the National Defense University for its excellent
analysis on national security issues. The INSS annual
``Strategic Assessment'', ``Joint Force Quarterly'' and many
groundbreaking conferences and war games, provide the kind of
forward-looking debate that is needed in a democracy. INSS
researchers provide the Department of Defense with a unique and
innovative analytical capability that will help our Nation
develop sound national security strategies for the future.

Recommended appropriations
2,661,815
Real property maintenance, Army National Guard.--During the
past several years, the Committee provided an increase for in-
house recurring maintenance and day-to-day repairs, as well as
in-house and contract projects required to maintain, repair,
and adapt facility infrastructure to meet mission needs. The
Committee provides $65,000,000 for this purpose in fiscal year
1999. The Committee intends for these funds to be used to
reduce the growing Army National Guard real property
maintenance project backlog within the 54 Army Guard
organizations, not for studies or other administrative
functions. The funds provided under this heading are in
addition to any other funds appropriated to the Army for real
property maintenance on behalf of the Army National Guard. The
Committee directs the Chief of the National Guard Bureau
provide to the Committee of Appropriations a report detailing
how these funds will be allocated not later than March 1, 1999.
Distance learning initiative.--The Committee provides an
increase of $35,000,000 in the Army National Guard ``Operation
and maintenance'' appropriation and $31,000,000 in the ``Other
procurement, Army'' appropriation for distance learning and
information management requirements. The Committee supports the
regional distance learning initiative and creation of a
distance learning network to reduce costs of training soldiers,
as well as to track personnel and equipment inventories. The
program is now fielded nationwide to include the territories.
Over 200 classrooms will be fielded over the next year which
will directly support National Guard readiness requirements and
community development.
The Committee directs that $4,600,000 of the funds provided
under this heading be provided to the Montana Army Guard for a
distance learning demonstration project that will expand access
to informational, educational and governmental resources. These
systems will serve as a means of delivering low cost military
training to our National Guard forces and as a subsystem of the
national disaster information network serving FEMA and the
State disaster and emergency services. This project will
provide a prototype of this type of training and integration
within the National Guard and State organizations.
The Committee directs that funding for the distance
learning network be spent only for expansion and continuation
of the program. The Committee further directs the National
Guard Bureau provide to the congressional defense committees a
report on how the Department intends to allocate funding for
the distance learning program in fiscal year 1999 not later
than November 15, 1999.
DeBremmond Training Center.--Of the funds provided under
this heading, the Committee provides an additional $250,000 to
maintain and operate the DeBremmond Training Center in Roswell,
NM.
Operation and Maintenance, Air National Guard
Appropriations, 1998.................................... $3,013,282,000
Budget estimate, 1999................................... 3,093,933,000
Committee recommendation................................ 3,113,933,000
The Committee recommends an appropriation of
$3,113,933,000. This is $20,000,000 above the President's
budget.
All recommended adjustments to the budget request,
including those items discussed elsewhere in this report, are

C-130 operations.--The Committee recognizes the increased
demand placed on C-130 aircraft operations within the Air
National Guard and has provided $10,000,000 to address
increased operations, maintenance, and supports costs. Such
funds are intended to support both the C-130 aircraft assigned
to operational squadrons and for full coverage of the cost of
operating and maintaining those stand alone aircraft currently
utilized by selected States.
OVERSEAS CONTINGENCY OPERATIONS TRANSFER FUND
Appropriations, 1998.................................... $1,884,000,000
Budget estimate, 1999................................... 746,900,000
Committee recommendation................................ 746,900,000
The Committee retains this transfer fund for ongoing
contingency operations in Southwest Asia and Bosnia and fully
funds the original budget request. However, given the combined
factors of the administration's announced intention to reduce
force levels and discussions with allies during the Committee's
April trip to Southwest Asia and Bosnia, no funds have been
added for ongoing contingency operations, pending further
refinement of requirements.
In the fiscal year 1997 supplemental appropriations and
rescissions report, the Committee directed a subdivision of the
fund to delineate amounts appropriated by individual
contingency operation. The Under Secretary of Defense
(Comptroller) shall continue to notify the defense
subcommittees 30 days in advance if the Department expects to
exceed the total allotment for a given contingency and to
provide quarterly reports to the defense subcommittees. These
reports shall include amounts transferred and the requirements
funded, in the same format as provided in supplemental and
reprogramming requests.
Court of Military Appeals
Appropriations, 1998.................................... $6,952,000
Budget estimate, 1999................................... 7,324,000
Committee recommendation................................ 7,324,000
The Committee recommends an appropriation of $7,324,000 for
activities of the Court of Military Appeals for fiscal year
1999.
Environmental Restoration
Total Appropriations, 1998.............................. $1,296,937,000
Budget estimate, 1999................................... 1,259,431,000
Committee recommendation................................ 1,265,431,000
The Committee recommends a total amount for environmental
restoration of $1,265,431,000. This is $6,000,000 above the
budget estimate. The Committee agrees with the reductions
proposed by the Senate Armed Services Committee in the
environmental accounts for a total reduction of $24,000,000.
Total environmental remediation contracts [TERC].--The
Committee directs that not more than 25 percent of funding
obligated by the Corps of Engineers for environmental
remediation shall be executed through existing TERC contracts.
Compliance with defense acquisition regulations.--For
environmental restoration projects subject to the terms of
section 52.2222 of the Defense Federal acquisition regulations
[DFAR], the Committee directs that any awardee of contracts for
such projects exceeding $1,000,000 shall submit a plan for
compliance with section 52.2222 of the DFAR to the appropriate
contracting office not later than 90 days after contract award.
Notification of environmental contract awards.--The
Committee remains concerned that the Department failed to fully
accomplish the Committee's intent regarding adequate
notification of the projects funded by this account. To ensure
the Department complies with this direction, each military
service shall notify interested State and local authorities and
interested Members of Congress upon release of draft
solicitations for contracts anticipated to exceed $1,000,000.
The Committee directs that this requirement shall apply to all
increments of indefinite delivery indefinite quantity-type
contracts which meet this threshold.
Building demolition and debris removal.--From funds
available within this heading, the Committee directs the
Department to conduct building demolition and debris removal
for formerly used defense sites transferred to the Department
of the Interior.
Streamlining acquisition of environmentally preferred
products.--Pollution prevention within the Department of
Defense has proven to be financially viable with both short-
and long-term savings. A critical element of pollution
prevention is the purchase of environmentally preferred
products [EPP's] as defined by Executive Order 12873.
Accordingly, the Committee urges the Department, services, and
Defense Logistics Agency to develop mechanisms to identify
products that meet EPP standards established by appropriate
Federal agencies or nongovernmental organizations. Further, the
Department of Defense should include resources toward an
interagency task force to examine Federal EPP standards,
policies, and methods to encourage such Federal purchases, as
well as provide resources to adequately develop the
Department's procurement data bases so that appropriate
environmental performance and content specifications, and other
environmental attributes, can be properly included.
The Committee has provided the following funding for each
service:

Building demolition and debris removal in Alaska.--From
funds available under this heading, the Department of Defense
may perform removals of military buildings and debris located
on formerly used defense sites [FUDS] on native-owned land,
State land, or land owned, or managed by the United States. To
minimize mobilization costs at such sites, building demolition
and debris removal will be funded along with the removal of

Items of Special Interest
committee recommendations
The Committee has reflected a number of its funding
adjustments in a table format. The Committee directs that the
funding increases outlined in the tables which follow shall be
provided only for the specific purposes outlined in the table
entry.
procurement of product improvements
A number of programs are currently procuring baseline
system designs as an interim measure before transitioning
preplanned product improvements into the systems. The Defense
Department will likely relegate these baseline systems to a
backup role once improved systems are available. Further, this
approach establishes a production base with its associated
fixed costs and minimum economic procurement quantities.
The Committee believes that neither the current threat
environment nor the urgency of schedule milestones justify this
acquisition strategy. Indeed, the current outlook for defense
spending demands that the Defense Department procure only those
systems which will be our first line of defense in a crisis.
For example, given the current armor threat, the Committee
cannot support a schedule driven procurement of the brilliant
antiarmor tank [BAT] munition, the sense and destroy munition
[SADARM], the sensor fuzed weapon [SFW], and the wide area mine
[WAM].
The Committee believes that it is far more prudent to
develop the near-term product improvements and to procure the
objective system rather than a baseline capability. Thus, the
Committee has proposed reductions to the procurement request
for a number of programs, in order to limit procurement of
baseline systems. The Committee has also provided increases in
some cases to fully fund or accelerate the development of
product improvements. In many cases, these product improvements
add capability, enhance lethality, simplify manufacturing, and
reduce operations and maintenance costs. The Committee endorses
this more measured approach to acquisition, an approach which
maintains a focus on both our long-term defense needs and our
limited procurement resources. Within a disciplined procurement
process, this does not have to mean that we always develop and
never buy. It does mean that we can develop and procure the
right system, and dispense with schedule driven procurement.
vehicle leases
The Committee recommends several provisions which require
the services to lease commercial vehicles, such as sedans,
buses, ambulances, compact trucks, and utility vehicles, from
funds made available in procurement appropriations. This action
allows the services to exploit the competitive commercial
leasing market, reduce base motor pool personnel and overhead,
and plan for infrastructure reductions. The budget request for
procurement of vehicles in the other procurement, Navy, Army,
and Air Force, and procurement, Marine Corps and Defense-wide
appropriations has been adjusted and the Committee has
established a vehicle lease line in these same appropriations.
armored sedans
The Committee is concerned with the Department of Defense's
procurement of armored sedans. The Committee has adjusted the
budget request for the individual services, and recommends that
these vehicles be purchased or leased from within the
``Procurement, Defense-wide'' appropriation.
Aircraft Procurement, Army
Appropriations, 1998.................................... $1,346,317,000
Budget estimate, 1999................................... 1,325,943,000
Committee recommendation................................ 1,408,652,000
The Committee recommends $1,408,652,000, an increase of
$82,709,000 to the budget. This appropriation finances the
acquisition of tactical and utility helicopters and airplanes,
including associated electronics, communications equipment, and
armament; modification and modernization of inservice aircraft;
flight simulators; ground support equipment; production base
support; and components and spare parts including transmissions
and gearboxes.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED PROGRAM
The Committee recommendation adds funds to increase
procurement of utility helicopters, to continue multiyear
procurement of heavy attack helicopter upgrades, and to upgrade
cargo helicopters.
The allowance also adjusts funding for programs as listed
in the following tables and as discussed in the text which
follows.

MLRS rockets.--The Committee understands that the Army
projects significant foreign military sales for MLRS rockets.
Should these sales fall short of projections, the Committee
directs the Army to reprogram sufficient funds to keep the
production line warm, maintain the equipment required for the
guided MLRS production, and ensure that the capability to
produce ER-MLRS rockets remains as a war contingency.
MLRS launchers.--The Committee has included $50,000,000
above the budget request to procure additional MLRS launchers
for the National Guard. The Committee has also included an
additional $8,400,000 to procure commercial off-the-shelf
technology [COTS] to implement the joint technical
architecture-Army [JTA-Army] as the new M270A1 launcher is
fielded. The Committee has been informed that if these funds
are not provided in fiscal year 1999, JTA-Army will have to be
retrofitted into the launchers in the future at greater
expense.
Javelin.--The Committee recommends an additional
$30,000,000 for Javelin. The Committee expects the additional
missiles purchased will be provided to crisis response forces
stationed in the Pacific.

integration kits. Due to program savings, the Army was able to
begin this procurement in fiscal year 1998, and the Committee
recommends a decrease of $6,700,000. An additional decrease of
$4,600,000 to the Abrams Upgrade Program is recommended in
technical, engineering support, gun and gun mount overhead
rates, and software turnover costs.
Direct support electrical test sets [DSETS].--The Committee
recommends an increase of $25,000,000 only for the procurement
of DSETS and field test program sets [TPS]. The Committee
recommends $5,000,000 for the Abrams Upgrade Program,
$5,000,000 only for the procurement of TPS's for the Bradley
fire integration support team vehicle, $5,000,000 for TPS's for
the Bradley command and control vehicle, $5,000,000 for Bradley
legacy fleet vehicle diagnostics, and $5,000,000 for TPS's for
the Bradley linebacker Stinger missile subsystem.
M-88A2 improved recovery vehicle.--The M-88A2 IRV is now
being fielded to Army armor units to alleviate significant
safety problems in recovery operations of M-1 tanks. The
Committee strongly supports this program and understands that
traction problems previously identified have now been resolved.
The Army should continue this important program at an economic
production rate of at least 24 vehicles per year until the
service has achieved its inventory requirement for tank
recovery vehicles.
Heavy assault bridge.--The Committee recommends a decrease
of $6,653,000 based on contract savings.
Other adjustments
The Committee recommends incorporating the following
adjustments to the budget estimate, in accordance with the

\1\ Increase reflects Committee recommendations as outlined in the ``Program and project increases'' heading of
this report section.
\2\ Program reduction recommended as described under the heading ``Program reductions and deferrals.''
T-45 advance procurement.--The Committee recommendation
provides $8,000,000 for advance procurement costs associated
with the planned procurement of 15 T-45 aircraft in fiscal year
2000. The Committee recommendation deletes $52,159,000 of
advance procurement funds budgeted to begin a multiyear
procurement. The Committee fully supports T-45 procurement and
applauds the Navy's compression of the schedule to reduce
acquisition costs. However, the Committee believes the limited
additional savings available through a multiyear procurement
contract are not sufficient to justify this acquisition
approach. Indeed, there is an equal chance that inflation
savings and learning curve benefits will achieve comparable
savings using annual contracts.
The Committee has provided $8,000,000 for T-45 advance
procurement. The Committee directs that these funds are
available only to initiate the procurement of 15 T-45 aircraft
in fiscal year 2000. The Committee will reconsider the Defense
Department's request for T-45 multiyear procurement authority
if the Department and industry can identify additional
multiyear procurement savings adequate to justify multiyear
acquisition authority.
P-3 series.--The Committee recommends $279,133,000, an
increase of $10,500,000 above the budget request as outlined in
the table accompanying this report section. Within the funds
appropriated pursuant to the budget request, the Committee
directs that up to $5,000,000 is available for the replacement
data storage system [RDSS].
Common ECM equipment.--The Committee understands the acute
shortage of ALQ-165 electronic warfare jamming devices has left
the Department of the Navy without adequate numbers to support
deploying F-14D's and F/A-18C/D's. The Marine Corps F/A-18's
have only three suites remaining and some overseas deploying
Navy squadrons will remain unprotected against specific threats
the ALQ-165 counters for nearly 4 months. Therefore, the
Committee has provided an increase of $10,000,000 for the
procurement of 18 ALQ-165 suites. Additionally, the Committee
directs the Department of the Navy to develop a program for
fiscal year 2000 and beyond which fully satisfies the
requirements of its deploying forces during the interim period
until IDECM is fully operational.

Budget estimate, 1999................................... 1,327,545,000

The Committee recommends an appropriation of $1,324,045,000
for the Navy's fiscal year 1999 ``Weapons procurement''
account, a decrease of $3,500,000 from the budget request.
This appropriation finances the construction, procurement,
production, modification, and modernization of strategic and
tactical missiles, torpedoes, other weapons, related support
equipment (including spare parts and accessories), and the
expansion of public and private plants.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED ADJUSTMENTS
Program reductions and deferrals.--The following table
lists program reductions recommended by the Committee to
eliminate funds requested for programs which are excess to firm
program requirements based on delays in the release of prior-
year funds; late contract efforts; slow execution of prior-year
funds; differences between the budget request and the actual
program plans; or are lower priority relative to other
programs.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Trident II.--The Committee is uncertain how long the Navy
will continue to procure Trident II missiles and believes that
funding for advance procurement of the Trident II missile in
fiscal year 2004 is premature. Therefore, the Committee
recommends a reduction of $20,000,000.
Tactical missiles.--The Committee recommends reductions in
the advanced medium range air-to-air missile [AMRAAM], and
standard missile based on recommendations from the GAO
concerning savings in production resulting from the merger of
Raytheon and Hughes missile systems companies. The Committee
also recommends a $8,900,000 reduction in the standard missile
block IVA support costs.
Drones and Decoys.--The Committee recommends $10,000,000
only for the procurement of the improved tactical air launched
decoy [ITALD].
OTHER ADJUSTMENTS
The Committee recommends incorporating the following
adjustments to the budget estimate, in accordance with the
Senate authorization committee action.

Navy tactical data system.--The Committee understands that
Navy fleet training ranges currently rely on an older version
of the advanced combat direction system which cannot support
the Cooperative Engagement Capability [CEC] Program and other
technologies. Installation of the AN/UYQ-70 advanced display
system, CEC, the ACDS Block Computer 1 Program, and adaptation
of the range ACDS interface translator at the ranges would take
full advantage of these systems and ensure that the ranges
maintain current technology to support fleet customers. The
Committee encourages the Navy to proceed with this program
expeditiously.
Committee recommended adjustments
Program reductions and deferrals.--The following table
lists program reductions recommended by the Committee to
eliminate funds requested for programs which are excess to firm
program requirements based on delays in the release of prior-
year funds; late contract efforts; slow execution of prior-year
funds; differences between the budget request and the actual
program plans; or are lower priority relative to other
programs.

\1\ Program reduction to transfer C-130 procurement funds to the ``National Guard and Reserve equipment''
account.
C-135.--The Committee has provided $90,000,000 to initiate
a program for reengining 707-based aircraft with leased
engines. The Committee understands that there are a number of
commercial engines which could enhance the capability, improve
the performance, and lower the maintenance costs of 707-based
aircraft. The Committee also understands that the existing
strong market for such commercial engines may permit DOD to
lease these engines at favorable rates and with little or no
lease termination liability. Accelerated reengining through
leasing will allow DOD to realize substantial operations and
maintenance cost savings on 707 platforms.
The Committee directs that the $90,000,000 increase shall
be available only to initiate a competitive program to modify
135-series aircraft and install leased engines. The Committee
believes that the funds provided may permit eight aircraft to
be modified and reengined. The Committee directs that at least
two of the modified aircraft be RC-135 Rivet Joints. The
Committee has also recommended a reduction of $57,300,000 in
the Defense Airborne Reconnaissance Program to shift the
budgeted Rivet Joint reengining procurement into this new
leasing program.
Theater airborne warning sensor [TAWS].--The Committee
recommendation provides $2,000,000 to complete testing and
document the results of the TAWS demonstration effort. At the
direction of the Congress, the Department of Defense
reevaluated the need for airborne infrared detection and
tracking of theater ballistic missiles. Based on this analysis,
DOD concluded that the airborne warning and control system
[AWACS] Eagle and Rivet Joint TAWS efforts should be brought to
an orderly termination with the results transferred to the
Airborne Laser [ABL] Program, a system which inherently
provides this detection capability.
The Committee endorses the Department of Defense conclusion
on airborne infrared system requirements. Since DOD completed
its assessment, development efforts have proceeded successfully
on a new generation of ballistic missile warning sensors. Every
Aegis ship can now detect and track theater ballistic missiles,
providing a more accurate estimate of the launch point and
impact point than TAWS. Furthermore, Aegis radar can track
these missiles in all weather conditions, while infrared
systems cannot. Indeed, at the recent Willow Dune ballistic
missile launch exercise involving a variety of tracking
sensors, TAWS was the only sensor not to detect the ballistic
missile target. The space-based infrared system high component
[SBIRS-High] will dramatically enhance our global ability to
provide infrared surveillance of theater and strategic
ballistic missile launches. Finally, the availability of
upgraded Patriot advanced capability 3 [PAC-3] missile radars
and THAAD ground-based radars [GBR] have significantly advanced
the Pentagon's ground-based missile tracking capability. Thus,
the Committee endorses bringing the TAWS Program to an orderly
conclusion and transferring any lessons learned to the ABL
Program.
B-1B modifications.--The Committee recommendation deletes
$33,100,000 budgeted for procurement of the ALE-50 towed decoy
systems [TDS] for the B-1B aircraft fleet. Consistent with the
observations contained in the ``Procurement of Product
Improvements,'' the Committee believes these purchases should
be deferred. The Committee urges the Defense Department to
proceed with the block F upgrade which will install a more
capable fiber optic towed decoy [FOTD].
Commander in Chief [CINC] support aircraft.--The Committee
recommendation provides $79,600,000 to purchase two C-37
aircraft for use as CINC support aircraft. The Committee
addresses this issue further in the O&M, Air Force section of
this report.
Onboard oxygen generating system [OBOGS].--The Committee
now understands that OBOGS installations on the F-117 are under
consideration. The maturity of the technology, the availability
of several nondevelopmental candidates, and the accelerated
implementation cost payback through O&M savings justify early
OBOGS installations. The Air Force is directed to fund and
conduct a 4-year nondevelopmental OBOGS installation program
for the Active and Reserve inventory of F-16, A-10, and F-117
aircraft starting in fiscal year 2001. The Committee further
directs the Air Force to consider the benefits of maintaining
maximum OBOGS hardware commonality in these installations.
Given the availability of mature OBOGS technology, the
Committee believes the Air Force can develop or implement its
OBOGS installation plans without further R&D expenditures,
except as minimally required for unique aircraft integration
and test purposes.
In addition, having already developed and initiated the
production of OBOGS for the T-6A trainer, the Air Force is
directed to exploit the benefits of hardware commonality
through the installation of T-6A-common OBOGS on the T-38
trainer starting in fiscal year 2001. Finally, the Air Force
should assess whether inclusion of OBOGS installation
provisions are appropriate during the T-38 avionics upgrade
program.

Patriot advanced capability 3 [PAC-3].--The Committee
provides $192,735,000, a decrease of $150,500,000 to the budget
request for Patriot PAC-3 procurement. The reduction deletes
$100,800,000 for the planned low rate initial procurement
[LRIP] of 60 PAC-3 missiles, $15,000,000 for initial spares,
$19,700,000 for nonrecurring tooling, and $15,000,000 for
production support.
The PAC-3 program's first intercept test has been delayed
at least 10 months relative to the fiscal year 1998 program
schedule. However, the Committee is encouraged by the PAC-3
program's measured and thorough ground testing efforts which
will, hopefully, pay dividends when the missile begins flight
testing. However, because of these delays, the fiscal year 1998
PAC-3 LRIP funds remain available to begin production of PAC-3
missiles. The availability of the fiscal year 1998 LRIP funds
make further appropriations for a fiscal year 1999 LRIP
premature.
The Committee continues to be concerned about the Ballistic
Missile Defense Organization's plans to contract for the
manufacture of missile interceptors based on a single intercept
flight test. The Committee directs that the fiscal year 1998
PAC-3 LRIP funds may not be obligated until the PAC-3 missile
successfully completes three intercept flight tests.
Vehicle leases.--The Committee recommends that funds
provided for commercial vehicles are for leases rather than
procurement.
Automatic document conversion system.--The Committee
recommends an additional $20,000,000 in major equipment, DLA
only for the automated document conversion system [ADCS]. The
Committee further directs the Department of Defense to submit a
plan to the Committee by February 1, 1999, on the transition of
the ADCS Program to service budgets, commencing with the fiscal
year 2000 budget submission.
National Guard and Reserve Equipment
Appropriations, 1998.................................... $653,000,000
Budget estimate, 1999...................................................
Committee recommendation................................ 500,000,000
The Committee recommends a funding level of $500,000,000
for National Guard and Reserve dedicated equipment. This
recommendation is $500,000,000 above the budget request.
The appropriation for this account includes direction for
each Reserve or National Guard component commander to prepare
and submit to the congressional defense committees a detailed
assessment of that component's modernization priorities.
The Committee maintains that the Reserves and National
Guard should exercise control of funds provided for their
modernization in this account. The separate submission of these
assessments, directly from the components chiefs to the
committees will ensure that the Reserve and National Guard
priorities are addressed in the allocation of this
appropriation.

$40,000,000 for the procurement of unspecified miscellaneous
equipment to improve the readiness ratings of Air National
Guard units.
National Guard and Reserve Aircraft
The Committee recommends $253,000,000 for National Guard
and Reserve aircraft. Of the recommended funds, $128,000,000 is
provided for two C-130J aircraft, $85,000,000 is provided for
one EC-130 aircraft, and $40,000,000 for one C-9 replacement
aircraft for the Navy Reserve.
Air Force Reserve and Air National Guard.--The Committee
recognizes that the Air Force Reserve and Air National Guard
units have been fully integrated into the total force and have
performed superbly in many contingencies in the past and that
it is essential they continue to do so in the future.
Therefore, the Committee believes it is important that weapons
systems assigned to the Air Reserve Forces be, if not
identical, at least comparable to those of the active
components. The Committee strongly recommends that the services
structure their operational plans and budget submissions
reflect this guidance.

committee recommendations
The Committee has reflected a number of its funding
adjustments in a table format. The Committee directs that the
funding increases outlined in the tables which follow shall be
provided only for the specific purposes outlined in the table
entry.
airborne reconnaissance transfer
The reorganization of airborne reconnaissance within the
Department of Defense has necessitated a transfer of Defense-
wide RDT&E funds to the services. Therefore, in accordance with
departmental requests, or as a result of Committee action taken
during review of the fiscal year 1999 budget request, the
Committee has transferred funds from RDT&E, Defense-Wide, to
service RDT&E accounts.
air directed surface-to-air missile [adsam] and air directed air-to-air
missile [adaam]
The Committee understands that the Department of Defense
has been evaluating technologies and operational concepts to
support the use of an aircraft-based sensor to perform
targeting and fire control for missiles launched from other
aircraft or ground platforms. Experimentation with this concept
to date has been insufficient to exploit this capability and to
understand the potential impacts on doctrine, command and
control, and joint warfighting operations.
The Committee believes that the performance of a number of
current DOD missile systems could be enhanced using this
airborne fire control concept. Further, the design of systems
under development could be affected by exploiting ADSAM and
ADAAM technologies. For example, the medium extended air
defense system [MEADS] concept might more easily achieve its
mobility and performance requirements by incorporating an
airborne fire control radar.
The Committee has made a series of recommendations to
permit thorough testing and evaluation of this technology
through demonstrations. The Committee has included funds in the
appropriate accounts to permit the purchase of a limited number
of modified Patriot advanced capability 3 [PAC-3] and standard
missile block IVA missiles to support live fire testing of this
concept. The Committee has also included additional funds to
enable the planning, hardware modifications, and conduct of
ADSAM and ADAAM experiments.
Finally, the Committee has made reductions to slow the pace
of a number of programs which could be affected by the results
of ADSAM and ADAAM experiments. Specifically, the Committee has
provided lower appropriations for MEADS, the Joint Land Attack
Elevated Netted Sensor [JLENS] Program, and related activities.
Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation, Army
Appropriations, 1998.................................... $5,156,507,000
Budget estimate, 1999................................... 4,780,545,000
Committee recommendation................................ 4,891,640,000
The Committee recommends an appropriation of $4,891,640,000
for the Army's research, development, test, and evaluation
programs, an increase of $111,095,000 to the budget request.
The budget activities and programs funded under this
appropriation are discussed below.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED ADJUSTMENTS
Sensors and electronic survivability.--The Committee
continues to support Army evaluation of the projectile
detection and cueing program. The Committee is aware that the
Army Research Lab [ARL] will receive five systems, one of which
will be mounted on a high mobility multipurpose wheeled vehicle
[HMMWV]. The Committee also recognizes that the program is in
development for participation and evaluation under the Military
Operations in Urban Terrain Advanced Concept Technology
Demonstration Program. The Committee supports continued
development of the system with previously appropriated funds
and transition from an ARL effort to an Army Research,
Development, and Engineering Center effort in fiscal year 2000
and beyond.
Weapons and munitions technology.--In the Department of
Defense Appropriations Act, 1998, the Congress provided
$5,000,000 for development and testing of plastic-cased
ammunition. The Committee understands that the Navy and the
Special Operations Command have expressed an interest in the
potential of this technology to provide lighter ammunition. The
Committee directs that fiscal year 1998 funds be released and
that the execution of these funds be completed in coordination
with the Office of Naval Research.
Environmental quality technology.--The Committee recommends
$51,742,000, an increase of $37,900,000 above the budget
request. The Committee adds $20,000,000 for pollution
prevention research and development initiatives, to be used
only for the National Defense Center for Environmental
Excellence to perform the materials and processes partnership
for pollution prevention [MP\4\] initiative. In addition, the
Committee provides $5,000,000 for the plasma energy pyrolysis
system, $5,400,000 for the Small Business Development Center,
$4,000,000 for agriculturally based bioremediation, and
$3,500,000 for the Radford environmental development and
management system. Within the remaining available funds, up to
$5,000,000 is provided to the U.S. Army Construction
Engineering Research Laboratory to continue research and
development environmental compliance projects using the
personnel and technologies available at the WETO facility.
The Committee directs the U.S. Army Chemical Weapons School
to work with a uniquely qualified educational institution to
assess the ability of biogenic oils to replace petroleum oils
to produce obscurant smoke during smoke training. The
assessment shall include the chemical and physical
characteristics of the produced smoke generated from the state-
of-the-art Army equipment. The toxicology and risk assessment
will be produced and compared to provide the necessary data for
evaluating the relative values to identify the preferable
product.
The Committee directs that $4,000,000 to continue the
agriculturally based bioremediation program shall be
administered by the U.S. Army Waterways Experiment Station, as
program director with overall technical and fiscal management
for test, evaluation, and demonstration of remediation
technologies. The station shall work with the U.S. Department
of Agriculture and military installations in the Pacific to
conduct developmental work and project execution as necessary
to restore contaminated sites in Pacific Island ecosystems.
Aviation advanced technology.--The Committee provides an
increase of $21,000,000 to conduct a live fire shootoff of the
air-to-air Stinger and air-to-air Starstreak missiles as
candidates for future procurement as a self-protection air-to-
air missile system. This shootoff will be an operational test
with combat scenarios conducted from an AH-64D Longbow Apache
helicopter against unenhanced targets in clutter to determine
which missile provides the shortest time of engagement, highest
probability of kill, and greatest ease of operation consistent
with the Army's mission needs statement.
Aerostat Joint Program Office.--The Committee
recommendation deletes $58,937,000 from the budget request for
the joint land attack elevated netted sensor [JLENS] aerostat-
based sensor program. Consistent with the observations outlined
in the title IV overview section of this report, the Committee
directs that the remaining funds be devoted to participation
and support of air directed surface-to-air missile [ADSAM] and
air directed air-to-air missile [ADAAM] demonstrations and to
limited scope JLENS design and development activities. The
Committee believes that the ADSAM and ADAAM experimentation
will allow the Defense Department to make better informed
determinations of airborne sensor requirements, command and
control architecture needs, and the balance between aircraft
and aerostat based sensors, as well as associated basing and
survivability issues.
Force XXI Warfighting Rapid Acquisition Program [WRAP].--
The Committee provides $69,528,000, a decrease of $30,000,000
to the budget request. The Committee acknowledges that the
brigade and division advanced warfighting experiments conducted
in 1997 yielded a number of concepts which merited investment
or acceleration. However, the Army does not have exercises of
this scale planned in the remainder of 1998 or 1999. Further,
many of the candidates for the fiscal year 1998 funds are
projects which did not make the priority list earlier in the
WRAP process.
The Committee understands that the Army has a requirement
for a drop zone capable, multiutility, commercially available
vehicle for the movement of supplies and injured personnel in
rugged terrain. The Committee recommends that the Army give
consideration to the military GATOR in meeting this mission
requirement under the competitive fiscal year 1999 Warfighting
Rapid Acquisition Program.
Landmine alternatives.--The Committee understands that the
Department has launched a search for alternatives to
antipersonnel landmines, including those that are used in mixed
mine systems, with the goal of fielding such alternatives as
soon as practicable. The Committee supports this effort and
includes $12,500,000 for fiscal year 1999 for activities
relating to the identification, adaptation, modification,
research, and development of existing and new tactics,
technologies, and operational concepts that (1) would produce a
comparable combat capability to antipersonnel landmines,
including those in mixed mine systems, and (2) are compliant
with the Convention on the Prohibition of the Use, Stockpiling,
Production and Transfer of Antipersonnel Mines and on Their
Destruction. The Secretary of Defense shall submit a report to
the congressional defense committees by March 1, 1999,
describing progress made in identifying and fielding such
alternative, and future plans in this effort.
Management headquarters.--The Committee recommends
$22,683,000 for management headquarters, of which $18,000,000
shall be only for the Akamai project. Within this amount, not
less than $4,000,000 shall be for hyperspectral diagnostic
imaging and $2,000,000 shall be for the remote access to
medical specialists program.
Maintenance and repair [RPM] RDT&E.--The Committee
recommends $80,233,000, an increase of $31,000,000 to the
budget request. The Committee is very concerned about the level
of maintenance and repair activities funded by the Army budget
request for laboratories and major range and test facility
bases [MRTFB's]. The Committee directs that $1,000,000 of the
additional funds be used only for Cold Regions Research
Laboratory maintenance and repairs. The Committee directs that
$30,000,000 be used for activities such as heating and cooling
system, road, water system, and roof maintenance and repair. Of
this amount, $20,800,000 is provided for White Sands Missile
Range and $9,200,000 is provided for Aberdeen Proving Ground
and Dugway Proving Ground.
OTHER ADJUSTMENTS
Program reductions and deferrals.--The following table
lists program reductions recommended by the Committee to
eliminate funds requested for programs which are not supported
by firm requirements or out-year development and procurement
funds; are premature until related, preliminary efforts are
completed, and the results evaluated; are lower priority
relative to other projects; are duplicative of other DOD
projects; are increasing without a firm justification and out-
year transition commitments; or can be deferred without
adversely affecting related program developments.

Appropriations, 1998.................................... $8,115,686,000
Budget estimate, 1999................................... 8,108,923,000
Committee recommendation................................ 8,215,519,000
The Committee recommends an appropriation of $8,215,519,000
for the Navy's research, development, test, and evaluation
programs, an increase of $106,596,000 to the budget request.
The budget activities and programs funded under this
appropriation are discussed below.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED ADJUSTMENTS
Defense research sciences.--The Committee directs that
$500,000 within funds made available for this program shall be
designated for continuing the Navy's cooperative marine mammal
research program.
Marine Corps advanced technology demonstration.--The
Committee recommends $33,600,000 for the Sea Dragon Laboratory
Program, an increase of $10,000,000. The Committee expects that
the Marines will allocate $4,000,000 to provide full support
for ongoing modeling and simulation efforts within this amount.
Advanced technology transition.--The Committee notes that
the SLICE advanced technology demonstration [ATD] has exceeded
all expectations in its speed and ride quality performance. The
Committee understands the Office of Naval Research intends to
study additional futuristic hull form technologies using this
program as a baseline in the coming years. As a transition to
this next phase, the Committee recommends $10,000,000 to
develop SLICE follow-on technology, specifically for a SLICE
trailer ATD. This trailer will be available to support aegis
testing to be conducted beginning in January 2000.
Command, control, and communications technology.--The
Committee recommends an increase of $11,000,000 for the ONR
surveillance program to support evaluation of technologies for
improving naval surveillance, tracking, and targeting
capabilities in littoral operations. The Committee supports an
expansion of current development and test efforts using an
elevated ground-based site for cost-effective testing of
airborne surveillance technologies. These funds shall be
available for sensor development work, antenna and sensor
testing, and site enhancements in conjunction with the UHF
electronically scanned array ATD. The program will lead to the
initiation of the Navy's follow-on Sensor Fusion and Network
Centric Battlefield Demonstration Program. Not less than
$1,000,000 of this amount is available to plan and develop
suitable systems to support emerging requirements for sensor
integration and testing.
Cooperative engagement capability.--The Committee continues
to support the U.S. Navy Cooperative Engagement Capability
[CEC] Program and believes that a space augmented CEC has the
potential to enhance greatly the systems effectiveness of air
and missile defense programs. The Committee also believes that
the Navy should work with the Air Force through the SBIRS
requirements review process to pursue the integration of the
CEC into the SBIRS system architecture. Therefore, the
Committee recommends an increase of $10,000,000 for CEC SBIRS
and Milstar range extension demonstrations.
Carrier systems development.--The Committee recommends that
$50,000,000 for future aircraft carrier system development be
used exclusively for CVN-77 development.
Airborne mine countermeasures.--The Committee supports the
Navy's recent decision to seek full and complete competition
for the airborne mine neutralization system [AMNS] and
associated CH-60 integration. The Committee recommends an
additional $2,000,000 to accelerate the evaluation of
preplanned product improvements that will provide an autonomous
operational capability to the system selected by the Navy.
Standard missile.--The Committee recommendation provides an
increase of $5,000,000 for the Standard Missile Program. The
Committee directs that the additional funds are available only
for the Navy to modify and build at least two Standard Missile
test assets which will be dedicated to an ADSAM demonstration.
The remaining funds should be used by the Navy to support and
participate in the ADSAM and ADAAM experiments proposed by the
Committee. Additional Committee observations on this issue are
outlined in the title IV overview section of this report.
CVX.--The Committee recommends $74,312,000 for future
aircraft carrier research and development, a reduction of
$115,688,000 from the budget. The Committee understands that
the Navy is currently restructuring its CVX program, and plans
to use $50,000,000 to introduce new technologies into the CVN-
77. The Committee has provided $50,000,000 for this purpose.
The Committee has also included $5,000,000 in ship preliminary
design and feasibility studies to establish a red team to study
a futuristic aircraft carrier concept. Under this plan, the
team should evaluate the merits of a carrier designed for the
JSF aircraft and assume other STOVL and rotary wing aircraft
will perform support missions. Furthermore, a primary goal of
the program should be to reduce the crew requirements by 50
percent, a trend increasingly common in commercial ships.
The Committee has also been informed that as part of CVX
restructuring, the Navy plans to focus their initial research
efforts on the development of the next generation nuclear
powerplant and electrical system in order to begin construction
of CVX in 2006. The Committee expects the Navy to use the
remaining CVX funding to begin development of this next
generation nuclear powerplant.
Common integrated electric drive systems.--The Committee is
aware that an industry team has made a substantial investment
to develop and demonstrate a domestic electric drive, at no
cost to the Navy, for use in the Navy's Large Scale Vehicle
[LSV II] Program. The Committee directs the Secretary of the
Navy to provide a report to the Committee by March 1, 1999,
which evaluates the installation of a common integrated
electric drive system for DD-21, CV(X) and an NSSN variant with
both a common integrated electric drive system and a
conventional mechanical drive system. Additionally, the study
should include an evaluation of secondary impacts, including
but not limited to: life cycle, logistics, logistics train,
manning, and operation and maintenance costs.
Terfenol-D.--The Committee directs that $3,200,000 shall be
available only to achieve further cost reductions in the
application of terfenol-D, the magnetostrictive, iron/terbium/
dysprosium alloy for new high performance sonar systems.
Low signature ejection technology [LOSET].--The Committee
is aware of the need for the development of soft launch
capability for the shoulder launched multipurpose assault
weapon [SMAW]. Therefore, the Committee recommends an increase
of $4,000,000 to the Marine Corps ``Ground combat/support
system'' account for application of low signature ejection
technology to the SMAW system.
OTHER ADJUSTMENTS
Program reductions and deferrals.--The following table
lists program reductions recommended by the Committee to
eliminate funds requested for programs which are not supported
by firm requirements or out-year development and procurement
funds; are premature until related, preliminary efforts are
completed, and the results evaluated; are lower priority
relative to other projects; are duplicative of other DOD
projects; are increasing without a firm justification and out-
year transition commitments; or can be deferred without
adversely affecting related program developments.

Appropriations, 1998.................................... $14,507,804,000
Budget estimate, 1999................................... 13,598,093,000
Committee recommendation................................ 13,693,153,000
The Committee recommends an appropriation of
$13,693,153,000 for the Air Force's research, development,
test, and evaluation programs, an increase of $95,060,000 to
the budget request.
The budget activities and programs funded under this
appropriation are discussed below.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED ADJUSTMENTS
Airborne laser [ABL].--The Committee provides $235,219,000,
a net decrease of $57,000,000 to the budget request for
airborne laser development. The Committee recommendation
deletes $97,000,000, consistent with the Senate-reported
Department of Defense authorization bill. The reduction deletes
funds for air vehicle integration and checkout and for purchase
of the aircraft. The Committee has added $40,000,000 to support
ground testing of ABL components as a risk reduction measure
prior to proceeding with aircraft integration.
In a 1994 briefing to the Committee, the Air Force outlined
a risk mitigation approach for the Airborne Laser Program. One
criteria the Air Force established prior to proceeding to ABL
demonstrator development was propagation and lethality. The Air
Force planned to determine whether we can kill the target by
focusing sufficient lethal energy under representative
operational conditions. The Committee does not believe that
this criteria has been met. Therefore, the Committee has added
$40,000,000 for ground testing and integration necessary to
meet this criteria prior to proceeding with purchase of an
aircraft and integration. These added funds should be used to
conduct ground testing of a representative laser against a
representative airborne target at appropriate separation
distances. The tests should yield information on laser beam
quality and energy deposition on the target.
Spacetrack.--The Committee recommends $42,832,000 for the
Spacetrack Program, an increase of $3,300,000. Of this amount,
$1,400,000 is only for the spectrograph program underway at
Maui space surveillance site. The balance of $1,900,000 is
provided only to fully fund AEOS-related acquisition and
research. Currently, AEOS research-related activities are
conducted by the Air Force Research Laboratory (Phillips Lab)
in conjunction with Air Force Space Command. The acquisition of
the AEOS telescope combined with existing assets located at the
site and nearby, will enable the Air Force to oversee a wide
range of space and directed energy technology research for
current and future Air Force, other defense, and scientific
needs. This new capability will allow the activity to expand
its research efforts while still serving the important mission
requirements of Space Command. Limiting the site to supporting
only the operational requirements of one user would marginalize
the utility of and investment in AEOS. Therefore, the Committee
directs the Air Force Research Laboratory to maintain
responsibility for all defense and reimbursable research
activities at the site. The Committee is also aware that Air
Force Space Command is examining the use of the National Guard
in managing its operations at the site. The Committee expects
to be kept fully informed of this matter and directs that the
Air Force report to the Committee prior to implementing any
change in the utilization of the Guard.
F-16 squadrons.--The Committee expresses its concern about
the aging of F-16A/B aircraft flown by the Air National Guard
Wings in North Dakota, Arkansas, Minnesota, and Montana. These
aircraft are approaching, and in some cases have exceeded,
their projected useful life. In order to ensure that these
wings continue their role in our Nation's defense, the
Committee provides $20,000,000 to define a service life
extension and capability enhancement package for Air National
Guard F-16A/B aircraft. The Committee directs that these funds
be directed toward initiation of kit production in fiscal year
2000 and subsequent delivery and installation of these kits at
the earliest possible date.
Major T&E investment.--The Committee has provided
$5,000,000 to continue analysis and design of a hypersonic test
facility which would be a one-of-a-kind, national test
facility, capable of simulating true air conditions in Mach
numbers of 8 and beyond. Presently there are no continuous flow
facilities in the United States capable of simulating air flows
beyond Mach 8. Such a test facility would create new hypersonic
research, development, and test opportunities for DOD.
Advanced spacecraft technology.--The Committee understands
that the Air Force has initiated a solar orbit transfer
vehicles [SOTV] flight demonstration program, scheduled to fly
on the first EELV test flight in October 2001. The SOTV system
potentially can reduce the cost of launch for DOD payloads and
provide greater operational capability and improved
survivability for satellites on orbit. The Committee also
acknowledges the savings to the Government that can be achieved
by utilizing space on the EELV test flight for the SOTV flight
demonstration. The Committee recommends an increase of
$7,500,000 for the SOTV flight demonstration program.
Target systems development.--The Committee believes that
the extensive electronic warfare [EW] capabilities of the BCPO
are at risk of being lost to the DOD test, training, and
evaluation communities because of escalating cost. The BCPO, a
White Sands Missile Range asset, provides EW T&E, training and
EW vulnerability assessments worldwide and is essential to the
exploration of new equipment effectiveness and suitability
testing and to the assessment of operational concepts
applicable to DOD missions at large. While these capabilities
are critical to DOD missions, it is difficult for development
programs to bear the full operating and maintenance costs and
flying hour rate charges. Therefore, the Committee has provided
$8,000,000 only for the Air Force to pay the basic maintenance,
operating, and upgrade costs for Big Crow assets.
The Committee, therefore, directs that the Secretary of
Defense provide a report no later than December 31, 1999,
outlining a management and funding plan for sustaining Big Crow
electronic warfare test assets in fiscal year 2000 and beyond.
U-2 Program.--The U-2/TR-1 operated between 1985 and 1992
without one single class A mishap. Since 1992 to the present,
there have been seven. The Committee is extremely concerned
about the high incidence of class A mishaps and supports the
Department's efforts to initiate efforts, such as complete
contractor logistics support, to ensure that this critical
program is preserved.
The Committee has provided $7,500,000 only for sustainment
of the RAS-1R prime mission equipment until the next generation
improvements, currently under contract, are available.
The Committee has provided an additional $6,600,000 only to
begin preliminary designs for glass cockpit ($3,000,000) and
JP-8 conversion ($3,600,000) efforts. The Committee expects the
Air Force to include funding for these much needed
modernization programs in its fiscal year 2000 budget
submission.
OTHER ADJUSTMENTS
Excess funds.--The reductions recommended by the Committee
in the following table delete funds which are excess to firm
program requirements based on delays in the release of prior-
year funds; late award of contract efforts; slow execution of
prior-year funds; or differences between the budget request and
current actual program plans.

Appropriations, 1998.................................... $9,821,760,000
Budget estimate, 1999................................... 9,314,665,000
Committee recommendation................................ 9,032,908,000
The Committee recommends an appropriation of $9,032,908,000
for defense-wide research, development, test, and evaluation
programs, a decrease of $281,757,000 to the budget request.
The budget activities and programs funded under this
appropriation are discussed below.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED ADJUSTMENTS
Defense research sciences.--The Committee recognizes the
critical need for DOD to seek new technologies to prevent
corrosion, reduce corrosion-related costs, and extend the life
of aircraft in a manner compatible with environmental concerns.
The current use of chromium positive ions, identified by the
Environmental Protection Agency [EPA] as hazardous material,
poses maintenance and removal problems for the Armed Services.
The Committee is aware of interdisciplinary research in
anticorrosion and provides $1,200,000 to support research on
the improvement of testing methods, instrumentation, and
procedures for characterizing coated aluminum clad systems used
in aircraft fleets.
The Committee further is aware of research on the
applications of spectral hole burning [SHB], a technique which
exploits lasers and developing optoelectronics technologies.
Storage devices using SHB techniques and materials recently
established a world record for bandwidth-spatial density. This
technology holds great promise for meeting the high-speed
network needs and high-density storage requirements of next
generation computing and internet devices. The Committee
directs that up to $2,000,000 shall be made available only for
research on applications of SHB to optical time and frequency
domain memory, signal processing, delay, routing, and optical
frequency standards.
The Committee also urges the Department of Defense to
accommodate the funding levels recommended in the Senate-
reported Department of Defense authorization bill for
continuation of the United States-Japan Management Training
Program.
The Committee encourages the Defense Advanced Research
Projects Agency [DARPA] to support advanced acoustics research
coordinated by a multiuniversity research institution with a
regional advanced acoustics research and development program.
In particular, the Committee supports research on medical
ultrasound technology, which may have applications for
noninvasive remote surgery as well as battlefield trauma, and
research on the photoacoustic detection of chemical and
biological warfare agents.
Gulf war illness.--The Committee notes that the Department
has spent considerable resources to determine what factors may
have contributed to the gulf war illnesses afflicting thousands
of veterans. The Department has a need to rapidly determine the
exposure of deployed troops to environmental threats, including
weapons of mass destruction. The same method could also help
determine whether military personnel had been exposed to a
chemical agent due to a terrorist attack, even if outward
symptoms are not immediately apparent. The Committee directs
the Department to establish a biomonitoring system to assess
exposures of military personnel to weapons of mass destruction
and other toxic substances. The Department shall establish this
system in the most cost-effective manner.
Computing systems and communications technology.--The
Committee is aware that the sponsorship of the Software
Engineering Institute [SEI] was transferred in June 1997, from
the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency [DARPA] to the
Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and
Technology, but that the funding request for SEI in fiscal year
1999 is included within the programs administered by DARPA. The
Committee recommendation provides $17,100,000, the budget
request amount, only for continued activities at SEI.
Advanced electronics technology.--The Committee directs
that the $10,000,000 made available for mask research is
provided to DARPA for support of x-ray masks for the F-22,
Apache Longbow, and other defense programs.
Defense Special Weapons Agency [DSWA].--The Committee is
dismayed to learn that the Department is giving serious
consideration to the fragmentation and transfer of the critical
nuclear and WMD-related functions currently performed by Field
Command DSWA. Previous studies and efficient management
practices in an era of downsizing argue in favor of
consolidated execution by a single entity. Field Command is
already efficiently performing essential nuclear stockpile
support, nuclear surety inspections, and WMD-related testing as
a key member of the New Mexico nuclear corridor. These
functions are fundamental and integral to the mission of the
new Defense Threat Reduction Agency [DTRA] and shall be the
responsibility of the new Agency. In the interest of efficiency
and colocation of activities, the Committee believes that all
of these functions should continue to be performed by DTRA at
the present Field Command locations.
Physical security equipment.--Of the amount appropriated
for physical security, the Committee has included $3,000,000
for analytic system and software for evaluating safe guards and
security which has also been included by the authorizing
committee.
Humanitarian demining technologies.--The Committee
continues to support demining research and development efforts
and directs that within funds appropriated for this program,
$800,000 is to be used for research and development of acoustic
technologies.
Pacific Disaster Center.--The Committee recommends
$8,000,000 for the Pacific Disaster Center [PDC] to support
current operations. The Committee has been informed that the
Air Weather Service is interested in studying climatology
impacts through modeling and simulation and believes the PDC
should examine how it might aid this proposal. PDC should also
examine ways to expand its current outreach efforts with the
local community through continued use of and financial linkage
to the economic development board.
DOD's reorganization plan which combines the Office of the
Assistant Secretary of Defense, C\3\I, and the Deputy Under
Secretary of Defense for Space offers a unique opportunity for
the newly formed organization to combine the efforts of several
different projects with civilian and defense interests involved
in emergency management. The programs include the Pacific
Disaster Center, hazard support system, Project Wildfire,
global disaster information network, and other related
emergency management initiatives. The Committee believes
continuity of management is critical to the success of the
aforementioned programs and, therefore, directs that the office
formerly under the Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Space
shall continue to maintain oversight over and responsibility
for these programs within the newly formed organization.
NATO imagery interoperability.--Of the funds provided for
NATO R&D, $4,000,000 may be used for the purpose of modifying
the image product library to make these systems compatible with
NATO imagery formats outlined in applicable NATO
standardization agreements 7023 and 4545.
Information Systems Security Program.--The Committee
directs that of the funds appropriated, $500,000 shall be
available only for the high security computational structure
project focused on mitigation of information warfare threats.
Special operations technology development.--The Committee
notes that wireless video links with extended ranges may have
very broad applications ranging from force protection,
surveillance, reconnaissance, counterdrug, and
counterintelligence. Given the broad spectrum of applicability
through U.S. military operations and requirements, the
Committee encourages the Department to consider funding for the
continued development of miniature audio visual surveillance
systems.
BALLISTIC MISSILE DEFENSE ORGANIZATION
Ballistic Missile Defense Organization [BMDO].--The
Committee has provided $3,178,498,000 for research,
development, test, and evaluation [RDT&E] efforts on national
and theater ballistic missile defense systems and technologies.
This appropriation represents an overall decrease of $442,000
to the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization [BMDO] RDT&E
budget request. The Committee also provides $258,880,000 for
procurement of ballistic missile defense systems and
components, a reduction of $150,500,000 to the budget request.
Thus, the total appropriation for ballistic missile defense
programs in this bill is $3,437,378,000. The Committee has made
a number of adjustments to individual RDT&E accounts.

Theater high altitude area defense [THAAD].--The Committee
recommendation provides $497,752,000 for continuation of the
THAAD Demonstration/Validation Program. The Committee has
deleted all funds requested for THAAD engineering and
manufacturing development.
Within the amount proposed for the THAAD Demonstration/
Validation Program, the Committee has deleted all $180,000,000
budgeted for the purchase of 40 user operational evaluation
system [UOES] missiles. The Committee has repeatedly raised
questions about the proposal to purchase 40 THAAD missiles
based on a single intercept test. The Committee has restored
these deleted funds to the demonstration/validation program to
ensure fully funded continuation of THAAD development.
Patriot PAC-3.--The Committee recommendation provides a
total increase of $45,000,000 for continuation of the Patriot
PAC-3 engineering and manufacturing development program. A
portion of the increase, $40,000,000, has been transferred from
PAC-3 procurement as requested by the Department of Defense.
The Committee directs that the additional increase of
$5,000,000 be devoted only to engineering changes and the
production of at least two PAC-3 missiles which will be
dedicated to ADSAM testing. Additional Committee observations
on this issue are outlined in the title IV overview section of
this report.
Family of systems engineering and integration [FoS E&I].--
The Committee directs that $10,000,000 of the funds in this
program element be dedicated to BMDO participation in the
planning and conduct of ADSAM and ADAAM demonstrations. The
Committee believes that the lessons learned could have long-
term benefits to both ballistic missile defense and air
defense. Additional Committee observations on this issue are
outlined in the title IV overview section of this report.
BMD technical operations.--The Committee continues to
support the efforts being performed at the Space and Missile
Defense Command's Advanced Research Center [ARC]. The ARC has
proven its worth in the development of both theater and
national missile defense systems. Therefore, the Committee
increases the amount available for the ARC by $7,000,000,
providing a total of at least $14,756,000.
OTHER ADJUSTMENTS
Program reductions and deferrals.--The following table
lists program reductions recommended by the Committee to
eliminate funds requested for programs which are not supported
by firm requirements or out-year development and procurement
funds; are premature until related, preliminary efforts are
completed, and the results evaluated; are lower priority
relative to other projects; are duplicative of other DOD
projects; are increasing without a firm justification and out-
year transition commitments; or can be deferred without
adversely affecting related program developments.

to fund the Department's portion of this initiative.
Postdoctoral education.--The Department is encouraged to
increase postdoctoral training efforts for psychologists in
those military medical centers where independent departments of
psychology exist.
Emergency medical care for children [EMCC].--The Committee
is pleased with the progress of the Emergency Medical Services
Program in Hawaii and urges the Tripler Army Medical Center to

Department conduct tests for HCV in all routine blood tests
that are conducted for Active and Reserve personnel and screen
Active and Reserve personnel who are separating or retiring
from active duty for serologic evidence of hepatitis C
infection.
VA/DOD distance learning project.--The Committee urges the
DOD to continue the VA/DOD distance learning pilot project to
transition clinical nurse specialists to the role of nurse
practitioners. To date, this effort has graduated 38 adult
nurse practitioners.
Dental research.--The Committee is pleased with the
progress of dental research in the services and encourages the
continuation of programs which advance the preventative and

of the funds provided for riverine activities be used to
acquire RU 38B aircraft and sensors for riverine and coastal
drug interdiction activities.
Northeast Regional Counterdrug Training Center.--The
Committee has provided $2,000,000 to establish a Northeast
Regional Counterdrug Training Center. The Committee believes
that an additional center will alleviate the overcrowding at
and waiting lists for attendance at similar centers in other
areas of the country. The Committee recognizes that Fort
Indiantown Gap in Pennsylvania is uniquely suited to host such
a counterdrug training center.
Simulation-based counterdrug interoperability training
module.--The Committee believes that distance learning and
technology can be employed to allow for realistic training
experiences without diverting operational resources from field
service. For this reason, the Committee has provided $5,000,000
for the purpose of creating a simulation-based counterdrug
interoperability training module at Volpentest Hammer Training
and Education Center.

RELATED AGENCIES
Central Intelligence Agency Retirement and Disability System Fund
Appropriations, 1998.................................... $196,900,000
Budget estimate, 1999................................... 201,500,000
Committee recommendation................................ 201,500,000
The Committee recommends $201,500,000, the budget request
for the Central Intelligence Agency [CIA] retirement and
disability system fund. The CIA Retirement Act of 1984 for
Certain Employees (Public Law 88-643) authorized the
establishment of a CIA retirement and disability system for a
limited number of CIA employees and authorized the
establishment and maintenance of a fund from which benefits
would be paid to qualified beneficiaries.
Community Management Staff
Appropriations, 1998.................................... $121,080,000
Budget estimate, 1999................................... 138,623,000
Committee recommendation................................ 134,623,000
The Committee recommends $134,623,000 for the community
management staff.
National Security Education Trust Fund
Appropriations, 1998.................................... $2,000,000
Budget estimate, 1999................................... 5,000,000
Committee recommendation................................ 3,000,000
The Committee appropriates $3,000,000 from the national
security education trust fund for continuation of this program.
Kaho'olawe Island Conveyance, Remediation, and Environmental
Restoration Trust Fund
Appropriations, 1998.................................... $35,000,000
Budget estimate, 1999................................... 15,000,000
Committee recommendation................................ 25,000,000
The Committee recommends $25,000,000 for the Kaho'olawe
Island conveyance, remediation, and environmental restoration
trust fund.
Since its inception, the Kaho'olawe program has been
managed by the Commander of Naval Base Pearl Harbor, under the
general direction of the Pacific Fleet. The base commanders and
staff have done a fine job in ensuring that the Navy's
responsibilities were met fully and that the project was
steered through many difficult challenges toward completion. As
more of the work tends toward cleanup instead of the policy
implications of how this would be achieved, the Committee
believes that those with the greatest expertise for managing
such operations, the Pacific Division of the Navy's Facility
Engineering Command, should oversee day to day responsibility
for the cleanup efforts. This does not relieve the Pacific
Fleet of its responsibility, but recognizes that PACDIV can and
should direct the cleanup operation. The Committee expects
PACDIV to work closely with the Pacific Fleet Commander in
managing this process.

COMPLIANCE WITH PARAGRAPH 7, RULE XVI, OF THE STANDING RULES OF THE
SENATE
Paragraph 7 of rule XVI requires that Committee reports on
general appropriations bills identify each Committee amendment
to the House bill ``which proposes an item of appropriation
which is not made to carry out the provisions of an existing
law, a treaty stipulation, or an act or resolution previously
passed by the Senate during that session.''
Due to the early Committee action on the fiscal year 1999
Defense appropriations bill, an original Senate bill was
reported by the Appropriations Committee to the Senate.
At the point when the Committee reports this measure, the
Congress has not completed action on S. 2057, the Fiscal Year
1999 Defense Authorization Act. As a consequence, the Committee
has acted in good faith in its attempt to comply fully with
requirements stipulated under paragraph 7, rule XVI.
The Committee anticipates that Congress will authorize the
amounts appropriated in this act.
COMPLIANCE WITH PARAGRAPH 7(C), RULE XXVI OF THE STANDING RULES OF THE
SENATE
Pursuant to paragraph 7(c) of rule XXVI, the Committee
ordered reported en bloc S. 2132, an original DOD
appropriations bill, an original Legislative Branch
appropriations bill, 1999, and an original Energy and Water
Development appropriations bill, 1999, each subject to
amendment and each subject to its budget allocations, by a
recorded vote of 27-0, a quorum being present. The vote was as
follows:
Yeas Nays
Chairman Stevens
Mr. Cochran
Mr. Domenici
Mr. Bond
Mr. Gorton
Mr. McConnell
Mr. Burns
Mr. Shelby
Mr. Gregg
Mr. Bennett

Mr. Dorgan
Mrs. Boxer
COMPLIANCE WITH PARAGRAPH 12, RULE XXVI OF THE STANDING RULES OF THE
SENATE
Paragraph 12 of rule XXVI requires that Committee reports
on a bill or joint resolution repealing or amending any statute
or part of any statute include ``(a) the text of the statute or
part thereof which is proposed to be repealed; and (b) a
comparative print of that part of the bill or joint resolution
making the amendment and of the statute or part thereof
proposed to be amended, showing by stricken-through type and
italics, parallel columns, or other appropriate typographical
devices the omissions and insertions which would be made by the
bill or joint resolution if enacted in the form recommended by
the committee.''
The Committee bill as recommended contains no such
provisions.
