H.R. 1585 --- National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008

(*Skelton, D-MO*)

**[Order of Business]{.underline}**: The bill is scheduled to be
considered on Wednesday, May 16, subject to a structured rule (H.Res.
[403](http://www.rules.house.gov/SpecialRules_details.aspx?NewsID=2661)).
Summaries of the amendments made in order under the rule will be
provided in a separate RSC document.

**[Cost to Taxpayers]{.underline}**: CBO estimates that H.R. 1585 would
authorize \$640 billion in FY2008 appropriations, which includes \$141
billion for the ongoing military operations in Afghanistan and Iraq.

CBO also estimates that H.R. 1585 would increase mandatory spending by
\$150 million (including sale of assets) in FY2008, but would have no
net effect on spending over both the FY2008-FY2012 period and the
FY2008-FY2017 period.

To see the complete, 28-page CBO cost estimate, visit [this
webpage](http://www.cbo.gov/ftpdocs/81xx/doc8110/hr1585.pdf). For
details on specific authorizations, see the "Highlights Summary" section
below.

**[Overall Authorizations]{.underline}:** The President requested budget
authority of \$481.4 billion for the national defense budget function
(regular appropriations) for FY2008. The Committee recommends an overall
level of \$499.1 billion in regular budget authority. This amount
represents a decrease of approximately \$33.7 billion from the budget
authority provided in the authorization bill for FY2007 (Public Law
[109-364](http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/getdoc.cgi?dbname=109_cong_public_laws&docid=f:publ364.109.pdf)).

**[Committee Action]{.underline}**: H.R. 5122 was introduced on March
20, 2007, and referred to the House Committee on Armed Services, which
considered it, held several mark-ups, and reported the bill, as amended,
on May 11, 2007, by a vote of 58-0 (House Report
[110-146](http://www.house.gov/hensarling/rsc/doc/LB_051006_defenseauthfy07.doc)).

**[Administration Position]{.underline}**: A Statement of Administration
Policy (SAP) was not available at press time.

**[Does the Bill Expand the Size and Scope of the Federal
Government?]{.underline}**: Yes, the bill creates several new programs.

**[Does the Bill Contain Any New State-Government, Local-Government, or
Private-Sector Mandates?]{.underline}**: CBO states that provisions of
H.R. 1585 "contain both intergovernmental and private-sector mandates as
defined in UMRA, but CBO estimates that the annual cost of those
mandates would not exceed the thresholds established in UMRA (\$66
million for intergovernmental mandates in 2007 and \$131 million for
private-sector mandates in 2007, adjusted annually for inflation)."

**[Constitutional Authority]{.underline}**: The Armed Services
Committee, in House Report
[110-146](http://www.house.gov/hensarling/rsc/doc/LB_051006_defenseauthfy07.doc)
finds constitutional authority in Article I, Section 8, but does not
cite a specific clause. House Rule XIII, Section d(1), requires that all
committee reports contain "a statement citing the *specific* powers
granted to Congress in the Constitution to enact the law proposed by the
bill or joint resolution." *\[emphasis added\]*

Article I, Section 8, Clause 1 grants Congress the power to "provide for
the common Defence and general welfare of the United States." Article I,
Section 8, Clauses 12 through 16 grant Congress the power "To raise and
support Armies, but no Appropriation of Money to that Use shall be for a
longer Term than two Years; To provide and maintain a Navy; To make
Rules for the Government and Regulation of the land and naval forces; To
provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Unions,
suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions; To provide for organizing,
arming, and disciplining, the Militia and for governing such Part of
them as may be employed in the Service of the United States..." In
addition, Article I, Section 8, Clause 17 provides that Congress shall
have the power "To exercise exclusive Legislation in all Cases
whatsoever...over all Places purchased by the Consent of the Legislature
of the state in which the Same shall be, for the Erection of Forts,
Magazines, Arsenals, dock-Yards, and other needful Buildings."

**[Does the Bill Comply with House Rules Regarding Earmarks/Limited Tax
Benefits/Limited Tariff Benefits (House Rule XXI, Clause
9)]{.underline}**: Yes. The House Armed Services Committee, in House
Report
[110-146](http://www.house.gov/hensarling/rsc/doc/LB_051006_defenseauthfy07.doc)
(pages 559-571) lists 680 separate Member earmarks totaling at least
\$37.4 billion (with individual earmarks ranging from \$250,000 to 2.42
billion).

**[Highlights Summary]{.underline}**: H.R. 5122 would authorize
appropriations for FY2007 for the Department of Defense and the national
security functions of the Department of Energy. The bill also sets
military strength levels (total number of personnel by active and
reserve branch). What follows are [highlights]{.underline} of the three
divisions (Dept. of Defense, Military Construction, and Dept. of Energy
& Others) of the bill.

Division A = Department of Defense Authorizations

Division B = Military Construction Authorizations

Division C = Department of Energy National Security Authorizations and
Other Authorizations

## 

**[A Few Items of Note]{.underline}:**

-   Ballistic Missile Defense is \$764 million lower than the
    President's FY 2008 budget request of \$8.899 billion (this gap will
    be addressed by an amendment from Reps. Franks, Cantor, and Putnam).

-   Future Combat Systems (FCS) was reduced by 25 percent (\$867
    million) under this bill. FCS is the Army's primary modernization
    program (Rep. Akin offered an amendment at Rules Committee to
    restore this funding, but his amendment was not made in order).

-   The bill does [not]{.underline} contain any provisions that alter or
    weaken current pro-life policies (i.e.-- the bill is silent on, and
    therefore maintains, the current prohibition on providing abortions
    at overseas military facilities, etc.). There will likely be
    Democrat amendments attempting to weaken current law prohibitions,
    including one amendment requiring all military medical facilities to
    stock and distribute the morning after pill (Plan B).
