                               BACKGROUND

                          Purpose of the Bill

    The Military Construction, Veterans Affairs and Related 
Agencies appropriations bill provides necessary funding for the 
planning, design, construction, alteration, and improvement of 
military facilities worldwide, for both active and reserve 
forces. It also finances the cost of military family housing 
and the U.S. share of the NATO Security Investment Program. In 
addition, the bill provides funding to implement base closures 
and realignments authorized by law. The bill provides resources 
to the Department of Veterans Affairs for veterans benefits and 
health care. The bill also provides funding for U.S. cemeteries 
and battlefield monuments both in the United States and abroad; 
U.S. Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims; and Armed Forces 
Retirement Homes.

                         Comparative Statement

    The Committee recommends appropriations totaling 
$119,817,525,000 and rescissions totaling $74,600,000 for 
fiscal year 2009 military construction, family housing, base 
closure, veterans health care and benefits, as well as related 
agencies. The table at the end of the report displays the 
Committee recommendation in comparison with the current fiscal 
year, and the President's fiscal year 2009 request.

                        Committee Recommendation

    The Committee recommends new fiscal year 2009 
appropriations of $119,742,925,000, including rescissions. This 
is $11,351,675,000 over the fiscal year 2008 enacted level, 
excluding supplemental funding, and $4,398,844,000 over the 
budget request. The basis for this recommendation is contained 
in the following ``Overview and summary of the bill,'' and 
under the discussions pertaining to each individual 
appropriation. Complete project detail is provided in the 
tables at the end of the report.

                    Overview and Summary of the Bill

    The Military Construction, Veterans Affairs and Related 
Agencies appropriations bill funds programs vital to the needs 
of America's military personnel and their families, and to the 
Nation's veterans. These programs--ranging from building 
housing and barracks for troops and their families, to offering 
cutting-edge health care to veterans, to providing for the 
upkeep and preservation of veterans cemeteries at home and 
overseas--touch the lives of millions of Americans who are 
currently serving their country in the Armed Forces, or who 
have served with honor in the past.
    The President's budget request for fiscal year 2009, 
totaling $115,344,081,000 for both mandatory and discretionary 
funding, is a record request, as is the Committee's 
recommendation for appropriations. The levels of funding 
contained in this bill reflect the realities of a Nation at war 
that is simultaneously realigning and growing its military 
forces, and of a veterans health care system that is straining 
under the weight of increased demand for services, new types of 
combat injuries, such as Traumatic Brain Injury, and an aging 
and longer living veteran population.

 Military Construction: Investing in Infrastructure for our Troops and 
                             Their Families

    America's military troops and their families, as well as 
the civilian personnel who support them, are in the midst of an 
enormous upheaval involving both new stationing configurations 
and new and expanded mission requirements. Tens of thousands of 
military forces are on the move, returning to the United States 
from installations abroad as a result of the Defense 
Department's global defense transformation. At the same time, 
scores of other military troops and civilian personnel are 
being uprooted and moved as a result of the base closures and 
realignments mandated under the 2005 Base Realignment and 
Closure [BRAC] round. The result of these initiatives, along 
with the Army and Marine Corps ``Grow the Force'' program to 
increase the end strength of those services by 92,000 new 
troops, is a massive building surge by the Department of 
Defense.
    The fact that these moves are taking place in the midst of 
the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan--which requires that combat 
deployments be coordinated closely with stationing 
realignments--has put great pressure on the Defense Department 
to pursue an aggressive construction schedule and to ensure 
that it remains on track. The Committee continues to be mindful 
of the complexity of the task confronting the Defense 
Department, and expects the Department to provide rigid 
management and oversight of the process, and to report to and 
consult with Congress on the progress of construction 
associated with the various initiatives.
    At $24,400,239,000 the military construction budget request 
for fiscal year 2009 is a watershed for the Department. It 
should be noted, however, that the majority of the recent 
growth in the military construction budget is due to increased 
funding for BRAC 2005, including $9,065,386,000 for fiscal year 
2009; Grow the Force projects, which total $4,855,054,000; and 
global realignment, which encompasses more than a billion 
dollars of overseas construction projects. By contrast, the 
budget request for military construction supporting the 
services' traditional mission requirements has remained 
relatively static over the past several years. This is of 
concern to the Committee because of the potential that aging or 
outdated facilities for mission requirements that are not 
changing or for installations that are not transforming may get 
short shrift in the budget request.
    For example, the Committee notes that the budget request 
for the Air National Guard--which is among the services that 
provide the Nation's front line of homeland defense--is down 
59.8 percent from the fiscal year 2008 budget request, and down 
88 percent from the fiscal year 2008 enacted level. The 
Committee believes that this is an unacceptable level of risk 
in the Air Guard construction program and urges the Department 
to ensure that all of the services, particularly the Guard and 
reserve components, receive adequate military construction 
funding to sustain and carry out their missions.
    Because of the uneven emphasis among the services in 
funding regular military construction requirements as opposed 
to funding construction requirements resulting from global 
posture moves, BRAC 2005, and the Grow the Force initiative, 
the Committee has continued its practice of providing 
additional funding, where indicated, to supplement the 
President's budget request, with particular attention to 
mission essential and quality of life facilities. Because the 
military construction accounts are project based, with funding 
earmarked by the President for specific projects, the 
additional funding provided by the Committee is also project 
specific. All major construction projects funded through the 
military construction appropriations accounts are included in 
the President's budget request or the services' Future Years 
Defense Programs [FYDPs] and are consistent with the criteria 
for additional funding for military construction projects in 
section 2856 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 1995 (Public Law 103-337).

  Department of Veterans Affairs: Keeping the Nation's Commitment to 
                           America's Veterans

    The Committee remains dedicated to ensuring the Department 
of Veterans Affairs [VA] has the resources it needs to provide 
timely and high quality services to the Nation's veterans. With 
the ongoing wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Department must 
be adequately positioned to assist veterans with combat-related 
injuries, while maintaining high quality services for veterans 
of previous eras. The VA also faces other challenges, including 
aging medical infrastructure; developing next generation 
information technology that will be essential to future health 
care delivery and timely claims processing; and outreaching to 
the new demographics of veterans.
    This act provides funds to the Department of Veterans 
Affairs to improve the system of health care that will meet our 
veterans' needs now and in the future. The act funds 
initiatives that provide greater access to care for veterans 
living in rural areas of the country and Native populations by 
funding new clinics; providing greater emphasis on 
telemedicine; increasing the reimbursement for beneficiary 
travel to medical appointments; encouraging greater 
collaboration with other Federal entities and community-based 
groups; and significantly increasing the amount of funds 
available for the construction of new facilities, as well as 
improving the condition of current hospitals and clinics. The 
bill also addresses the growing needs of women veterans. With 
more women choosing the military as a career, the VA must 
evolve and be prepared to provide greater services for women. 
Additionally, the bill provides increased funding to allow the 
VA to conduct greater levels of research in areas where our 
veterans are experiencing medical issues at a rate greater than 
the national average, particularly physical and mental wounds 
related to combat.
    While the challenges that face the VA are immense, the 
Committee is committed to providing the resources necessary to 
enable the Department to provide the highest-possible services 
to America's veterans.

                                TITLE I

                         MILITARY CONSTRUCTION

                       Items of Special Interest

                                HEARINGS

    The Subcommittee on Military Construction and Veterans 
Affairs and Related Agencies held two hearings related to the 
fiscal year 2009 Military Construction budget request. On April 
24, 2008, the subcommittee heard testimony from representatives 
of the Department of Defense [DOD] and the United States Navy 
concerning fiscal year 2009 budget priorities, the fiscal year 
2008 global war on terror emergency supplemental request, and 
base realignment and closure [BRAC]. On May 8, 2008, the 
subcommittee held a hearing on the budget requests of the 
United States Army and the United States Air Force concerning 
fiscal year 2009 construction priorities, BRAC, and the 
President's ``Grow the Force'' initiative to provide 
infrastructure to accommodate planned increases in the size of 
the Army.

                  SUMMARY OF COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

    The budget request for fiscal year 2009 reflects an 
increase of $3,770,202,000 above the amount enacted in fiscal 
year 2008, excluding supplemental funds.
    The Committee recommends $24,744,390,000 including 
rescissions. This is $344,151,000 above the budget request.

                        REPROGRAMMING GUIDELINES

    The following reprogramming guidelines apply for all 
military construction and family housing projects. A project or 
account (including the sub-elements of an account) which has 
been specifically reduced by the Congress in acting on the 
budget request is considered to be a congressional interest 
item and as such, prior approval is required. Accordingly, no 
reprogrammings to an item specifically reduced below the 
threshold by the Congress are permitted.
    The reprogramming criteria that apply to military 
construction projects (25 percent of the funded amount or 
$2,000,000, whichever is less) continue to apply to new housing 
construction projects and to improvements over $2,000,000. To 
provide the services the flexibility to proceed with 
construction contracts without disruption or delay, the costs 
associated with environmental hazard remediation such as 
asbestos removal, radon abatement, lead-based paint removal or 
abatement, and any other legislated environmental hazard 
remediation may be excluded, provided that such remediation 
requirements could not be reasonably anticipated at the time of 
the budget submission. This exclusion applies to projects 
authorized in this budget year, as well as projects authorized 
in prior years for which construction has not been completed.
    Furthermore, in instances where prior approval to a 
reprogramming request for a project or account has been 
received from the Committee, the adjusted amount approved 
becomes the new base for any future increase or decrease via 
below-threshold reprogrammings (provided that the project or 
account is not a congressional interest item as defined above).
    In addition to these guidelines, the services are directed 
to adhere to the guidance for military construction 
reprogrammings and notifications, including the pertinent 
statutory authorities contained in DOD Financial Management 
Regulation 7000.14-R and relevant updates and policy memoranda.

                       REAL PROPERTY MAINTENANCE

    The Committee recommends a continuation of the following 
general rules for repairing a facility under ``Operation and 
Maintenance'' account funding:
  --Components of the facility may be repaired by replacement, 
        and such replacement may be up to current standards or 
        code.
  --Interior arrangements and restorations may be included as 
        repair, but additions, new facilities, and functional 
        conversions must be performed as military construction 
        projects.
  --Such projects may be done concurrent with repair projects, 
        as long as the final conjunctively funded project is a 
        complete and usable facility.
  --The appropriate Service Secretary shall submit a 21-day 
        notification prior to carrying out any repair project 
        with an estimated cost in excess of $7,500,000.
    The Department is directed to continue to report on the 
real property maintenance backlog at all installations for 
which there is a requested construction project in future 
budget requests. This information is to be provided on the Form 
1390. In addition, for all troop housing requests, the Form 
1391 is to continue to show all real property maintenance 
conducted in the past 2 years and all future requirements for 
unaccompanied housing at that installation.

                         GLOBAL DEFENSE POSTURE

    The Committee continues to monitor the Defense Department's 
far-reaching realignment of U.S. forces and installations 
overseas, an effort which encompasses personnel and bases in 
the United States as well as throughout the European, Pacific, 
Central, and Africa Commands. Approximately 70,000 military 
personnel and 100,000 dependents are eventually slated to 
return to the United States as a result of the closure and 
realignment of U.S. military installations overseas. However, 
these global realignments come with a significant price tag for 
military construction both inside the United States and 
overseas. The President's fiscal year 2009 budget request 
includes $1,144,087,000 designated for specific overseas 
locations, much of which is directly related to the global 
posture realignment. These overseas construction costs are 
associated with such initiatives as the realignment of U.S. 
forces from Okinawa to Guam, the consolidation of U.S. military 
bases in Germany and Italy, the expansion of U.S. military 
training facilities in Eastern Europe, and the growing 
footprint of the U.S. military in Southwest Asia and Africa.
    Beginning in fiscal year 2004, the Committee has required 
the Defense Department to prepare annual master plans for its 
installations overseas to ensure that the infrastructure plans 
are regularly reassessed, and revised if necessary, to reflect 
any shift in requirements due to changes in the global security 
environment.
    Because of continued concern over the possibility of 
changes to the global defense posture, the Committee extends 
the requirement for the Defense Department to provide annually 
updated reports on the status of the global basing initiative 
to the Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress. 
These reports are to be submitted with the administration's 
budget submissions each year through fiscal year 2014 and 
should include, at a minimum, the following elements: an 
overview of the current overseas basing strategy and an 
explanation of any changes to the strategy; the status of host 
nation negotiations; the cost to date of implementing the 
military construction elements of the strategy; an updated 
estimate of the cost to complete the construction program; and 
an updated timeline for implementing the strategy. These 
reports shall be submitted in unclassified and, if necessary, 
classified form. The timely filing of these reports is 
essential to the ability of the Committee to exercise its 
oversight responsibilities, and it is therefore important that 
the Department adhere to the schedule and provide these reports 
at the same time as the annual budget submissions.
    AFRICOM.--In the report accompanying the Military 
Construction, Veterans Affairs and Related Agencies 
Appropriations Act, 2008, the Committee expressed grave 
concerns that the Department of Defense was attempting to stand 
up a new Unified Command, AFRICOM, before many critical issues 
were thoroughly examined, not the least of which was the future 
presence of U.S. military forces on the African continent. 
Specifically, the Committee questioned whether the presence of 
a U.S. military command in Africa would conflict with sensitive 
U.S. diplomatic and host-nation developmental objectives. 
Because of the uncertainty over where AFRICOM would be 
eventually headquartered, what its infrastructure requirements 
would involve, and how the host nations on the African 
continent would react to the presence of the command, the 
Committee recommended that the Department restrict its military 
construction request for AFRICOM to expeditionary facilities 
intended to support immediate operational requirements until 
the new command was fully established and a more coordinated 
plan could be developed.
    The Defense Department has since announced that the Africa 
Command will become fully operational on October 1, 2008. 
However, the operational architecture of the command, including 
where its headquarters will be located and how it will 
implement its dual military-civilian mission, remains to be 
determined. The Committee remains concerned that the Department 
rushed the decision to stand up a new and uniquely structured 
Unified Command without proper coordination with the Department 
of State and our African partners. Therefore, the Committee 
continues to recommend that all but basic expeditionary 
infrastructure requirements for AFRICOM be deferred until such 
time that a coordinated master plan is approved by the 
Secretary of Defense that outlines the specific 
responsibilities of the command, its operational doctrine and 
supporting policies, as well as the required infrastructure 
needs, specified by project and location. In the interim, it is 
the understanding of the Committee that the infrastructure 
needs of the current AFRICOM headquarters in Stuttgart, 
Germany, can be met with existing facilities, and that no 
permanent construction projects are required.
    Guam Military Buildup.--The Committee remains concerned 
about the overall cost, timing, and execution of the Defense 
Department's proposed $13,000,000,000 military buildup on Guam. 
The proposal, which is to be jointly financed with the 
Government of Japan, is centered on the relocation of 
approximately 8,000 marines and 9,000 dependents from Okinawa 
to Guam, with a goal of completing the move by 2014. In 
addition to the Marine buildup, U.S. Army, Navy, and Air Force 
personnel, capabilities, and facilities on Guam are also being 
increased. According to the Government Accountability Office 
[GAO], the result of all these activities will be an increase 
of approximately 176 percent in the number of military 
personnel and dependents on Guam, escalating from the current 
level of 14,000 to approximately 39,000. This does not factor 
in the number of civilian personnel and contractors who will be 
required to support the military buildup on Guam.
    GAO recently reported that many key decisions associated 
with the proposed military expansion on Guam have yet to be 
made, including the ultimate makeup of the units to be 
stationed there and the extent of the military construction 
required to support such a massive buildup. GAO also reported 
that DOD may intend to seek funding for military construction 
projects associated with the buildup before a final 
environmental impact statement is issued or the full extent of 
funding and facility requirements is determined.
    In testimony delivered to the Senate Committee on Energy 
and Natural Resources on May 1, 2008, GAO made the following 
observation: ``DOD and the Government of Guam face several 
significant challenges associated with the military buildup, 
including addressing funding and operational challenges and 
community and infrastructure impacts, which could affect the 
development and implementation of their planning efforts. 
First, DOD has not identified all funding requirements and may 
encounter difficulties in obtaining funding given competing 
priorities within the Department. Second, DOD officials need to 
address the operational and training limitations on Guam, such 
as for sea and airlift capabilities, and training requirements 
for thousands of marines. Third, the increase in military 
personnel and their dependents on Guam and the large number of 
construction workers needed to build military facilities will 
create challenges for Guam's community and civilian 
infrastructure.''
    In an effort to clarify some of the uncertainty related to 
DOD's development plans for Guam, the Secretary of Defense is 
directed to provide the Committees on Appropriations of both 
Houses of Congress with a list of individual construction 
projects, by fiscal year, needed to complete the military 
infrastructure buildup on Guam. The project list should be 
provided with the President's fiscal year 2010 budget 
submission and updated each year thereafter through completion 
of the U.S. military buildup on Guam.
    Timeliness of Reports.--The Committee has previously 
expressed concern at the Department's frequent failure to 
comply with deadlines for submitting mandated reports. Again in 
2008, a number of reports related to major Department 
initiatives were not delivered on time, if at all, nor was 
notice received from the Department as to why the reports were 
late or when they would be submitted. Many of these reports are 
planning documents, intended to demonstrate that the Department 
is adequately coordinating its many ongoing initiatives, such 
as the Global Defense Posture moves, the Grow the Force 
initiative, and base realignment and closure. The failure to 
submit these reports contributes to the Committee's concern 
that the Department may not have developed a thorough blueprint 
for some of these programs prior to execution, nor adequately 
considered all of the infrastructure ramifications of carrying 
out significant force reorganizations while conducting two 
wars. Reports that have been mandated by the Committee are 
necessary to ensure proper congressional oversight and to 
inform congressional decisions related to the Department's 
budget requests; the failure to submit them in a timely manner 
is unacceptable. The Secretary of Defense and the service 
secretaries are therefore directed to submit all reports that 
are currently overdue no later than 30 days after the enactment 
of this act, and to assiduously comply with future reporting 
deadlines. In the event that a deadline is not met, the 
Department shall submit a written explanation for the failure 
to deliver the report, and an expected date of delivery, no 
later than 7 days after the deadline.

    STRATCOM Headquarters.--The Committee understands that the 
U.S. Strategic Command [STRATCOM] headquarters facility, 
located at Offutt Air Force Base, Nebraska, is in a severe 
state of disrepair. Electrical service and cooling system 
failures, as well as flooding and fires in the headquarters 
complex, have impacted STRATCOM's ability to carry out its 
mission. As the lead combatant command for integration and 
synchronization of the Department of Defense's efforts to 
combat weapons of mass destruction, STRATCOM is essential to 
our Nation's security and must have adequate, safe, and 
suitable facilities to carry out its mission. The Committee 
therefore has provided $10,000,000 within the Air Force 
planning and design account specifically to initiate the 
planning and design of a new headquarters to replace the 
inadequate and failing facility at Offutt AFB. The Committee 
urges the Air Force to begin design work on this facility 
immediately, and to advance the project into the Future Years 
Defense Program.
    The Committee fully expects contracts for the following 
projects to be awarded as early in fiscal year 2009 as 
practical:
    Logistics Readiness Center, Mountain Home Air Force Base, 
Idaho.--Of the funds provided for planning and design in this 
account, the Committee directs that $1,800,000 be made 
available for the design of this facility.
    Security Forces Building, Lackland AFB, Texas.--Of the 
funds provided for planning and design in this account, the 
Committee directs that $900,000 be made available for the 
design of this facility.
    F-22A Consolidated Munitions Maintenance, Holloman AFB, New 
Mexico.--Of the funds provided for planning and design in this 
account, the Committee directs that $495,000 be made available 
for the design of this facility.
    Missile Service Complex, F.E. Warren Air Force Base, 
Wyoming.--Of the funds provided for planning and design in this 
account, the Committee directs that $810,000 be made available 
for the design of this facility.
    Centralized Administrative Processing Center, Sheppard AFB, 
Texas.--Of the funds provided for planning and design in this 
account, the Committee directs that $1,314,000 be made 
available for the design of this facility.
    Fire and Rescue Station, Randolph AFB, Texas.--Of the funds 
provided for planning and design in this account, the Committee 
directs that $972,000 be made available for the design of this 
facility.
    Joint Intelligence Technical Training Facility, Goodfellow 
AFB, Texas.--Of the funds provided for planning and design in 
this account, the Committee directs that $1,656,000 be made 
available for the design of this facility.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The military construction appropriation for the Department 
of Defense provides for acquisition, construction, 
installation, and equipment of temporary or permanent public 
works, military installations, facilities, and real property 
Defense-Wide. This appropriation also provides for facilities 
required as well as funds for infrastructure projects and 
programs required to support bases and installations around the 
world.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends $1,688,270,000 for projects 
considered within the ``Defense-Wide'' account. This amount is 
$88,866,000 above the fiscal year 2008 enacted level, and 
$95,728,000 below the budget request. Further detail of the 
Committee's recommendation is provided in the State table at 
the end of this report.
    European Missile Defense.--The Committee has provided full 
funding as requested for the European Midcourse Radar Site to 
be located in the Czech Republic, and has provided the 
requested level of funding for site development for the 
European Interceptor Site planned for Poland. The Committee 
restricts the obligation of those funds until the parliaments 
of Poland and the Czech Republic have ratified any missile 
defense agreements with the United States related to the 
deployment of the system.
    The Committee notes that the proposed European missile 
defense system is intended to be of mutual benefit to the 
United States and its NATO allies, but the Department has not 
sought NATO funding to pay for any portion of the construction 
costs. The Committee, therefore, directs the Department to file 
a precautionary prefinancing request for funding through the 
NATO Security Investment Program Fund [NSIP], and to report 
back to the Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of 
Congress within 60 days of enactment of this act on the actions 
taken to obtain NATO cost sharing for the two projects. The 
Department is to include in that report an updated construction 
timetable and cost estimate, and a report on the status of 
concluding a memorandum of understanding between the Missile 
Defense Agency and the Corps of Engineers regarding executive 
oversight of construction for the projects.

                        CONTINGENCY CONSTRUCTION

    The Committee has provided $10,000,000 for the Secretary of 
Defense ``Contingency Construction'' account. This account 
provides funds which may be used by the Secretary of Defense 
for unforeseen facility requirements and military exercises, 
including those related to the global war on terror.

                 ENERGY CONSERVATION INVESTMENT PROGRAM

    The Committee recommends $160,000,000 for the Energy 
Conservation Investment Program [ECIP]. This amount is 
$80,000,000 above the budget request. ECIP has proven to be one 
of the Department's most effective programs in promoting energy 
conservation and investment in renewable energy resources, 
including wind, solar, geothermal, waste-to-energy, and 
biomass, at U.S. military installations. The Committee strongly 
supports the Department's energy conservation objectives, but 
believes that a more aggressive and broad-based program, with 
an increased emphasis on applying renewable energy resources to 
enhance energy security at military installations, is 
warranted. Heightened concerns over the vulnerability of the 
power grid in the United States have underscored the need for 
the Department to increase its reliance on independently 
generated renewable energy resources and to make its 
installations as energy self-sufficient as possible.
    The Committee understands that the military services are 
working to increase energy efficiency and renewable energy on 
at least 35 bases and clusters of installations. With 
sufficient funding, this initiative could produce earlier and 
more mission critical results. The Committee recommendation 
provides an additional $80,000,000 over the President's budget 
request for ECIP to be used to assess the risk that power 
disruptions pose to military installations and critical mission 
activities, and to develop plans, programs, and/or 
demonstration projects that use renewable energy resources to 
mitigate risk to task critical assets and promote energy 
efficiency and independence at military installations.
    The Committee recognizes that energy security for mission 
critical assets is a cross service concern, and therefore 
directs the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the 
Joint Chiefs of Staff, to provide an expenditure plan for the 
additional ECIP funding to the Committees on Appropriations of 
both Houses of Congress no later than January 30, 2009.

year 2003 National Defense Authorization Act.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends $144,278,000 for chemical 
demilitarization construction projects, an increase of 
$40,102,000 above the fiscal year 2008 enacted level and 
$10,000,000 above the President's budget request.
    The Committee continues to urge the Department to take all 
necessary and appropriate steps to dispose of the U.S. chemical 
weapons stockpile by the 2012 Chemical Weapons Convention 
deadline and, under no circumstances, later than 2017 
consistent with section 8119 of Public Law 110-116. In light of 
the need for the Department to carry out its mission promptly 
and safely it will need to provide close oversight over the 
execution of contracts at the chemical demilitarization sites 
to ensure funds are spent prudently and efficiently. The 
Committee will continue to monitor closely the Department's 
compliance with both deadlines.

                       Base Closure Account 1990

Appropriations, 2008....................................    $295,689,000
Budget estimate, 2009...................................     393,377,000
Committee recommendation................................     468,377,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The base closure appropriation (1990) provides for clean up 
and disposal of property consistent with the four closure 
rounds required by the base closure Acts of 1988 and 1990.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends a total of $468,377,000 for the 
Base Closure Account 1990. This is $172,688,000 above the 
fiscal year 2008 enacted level and $75,000,000 above the 
President's budget request.
    The Committee remains concerned about the backlog of 
environmental remediation activities required to complete the 
cleanup of U.S. military installations closed during previous 
BRAC rounds. The most recent estimate of the cost to complete 
the cleanup of these bases is approximately $3,000,000,000. The 
Committee recognizes that lengthy delays in completing 
environmental cleanup at shuttered bases hamper the ability of 
communities to put valuable property to economically and 
socially productive uses, and believes that more robust funding 
for the BRAC 1990 account will help to accelerate the cleanup 
and reuse of these bases. The additional funding above the 
President's budget request provided by the Committee for this 
account includes $20,000,000 for the Army, $40,000,000 for the 
Navy, and $15,000,000 for the Air Force.

            BASE CLOSURE ACCOUNT 1990 ENVIRONMENTAL OVERVIEW

    From fiscal year 1990 through fiscal year 2008, a total of 
$24,006,522,000 has been appropriated for the environmental 
clean up of military installations closed or realigned under 
prior BRAC rounds. The total amount appropriated for BRAC 1990, 
combined with the Committee recommendation for fiscal year 
2009, is $24,474,899,000.
    In appropriating these funds, the Committee continues to 
provide the Department with broad flexibility to allocate funds 
by service, function, and installation. The following table 
displays the total amount appropriated for each round of base 
closure, including amounts recommended for fiscal year 2009 for 
BRAC 1990.

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The base realignment and closure appropriation for 2005 
provides for clean up and disposal of property consistent with 
the 2005 closure round required by the Defense Base Closure and 
Realignment Act of 1990 (10 U.S.C. section 2687 note).

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends a total of $8,891,700,000 for the 
Department of Defense Base Closure Account 2005. This amount is 
$1,756,109,000 above the fiscal year 2008 enacted level, 
excluding emergency supplemental funding, and $73,686,000 below 
the budget request.
    The following chart details projects to be carried out 
using BRAC 2005 funding. Given the magnitude of this effort, 
and the number and scope of military construction projects 
associated with it, the Committee is concerned that the 
projected construction cost of individual projects planned 
under the BRAC 2005 program may escalate from the original 
estimate due to market conditions and other variables. The 
Committee therefore directs that any above-threshold cost or 
scope variation, any cancellation of projects, or any transfer 
of funds among construction projects associated with the BRAC 
2005 projects identified in the table following this narrative 
be subject to the standard reprogramming and notification 
requirements that apply to the regular military construction 
appropriation.

                                                                                       BRAC 2005 PROJECTS

                       Items of Special Interest

                                HEARINGS

    The subcommittee on Military Construction and Veterans 
Affairs and Related Affairs held one hearing related to the 
fiscal year 2009 Department of Veterans Affairs [VA] budget 
request on April 10, 2008. The subcommittee heard testimony

                  SUMMARY OF COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends $94,792,750,000 for the Department 
of Veterans Affairs, including $46,742,925,000 in mandatory 
spending and $48,049,825,000 in discretionary spending. The 
amount provided for discretionary activities represents an 
increase of $4,941,933,000 above the fiscal year 2008 enacted 
level, excluding emergency supplemental funding contained in 
Public Law 110-252, and an increase of $3,285,693,000 above the 
budget request.

                          DEPARTMENT OVERVIEW

    The Veterans Administration was established as an 
independent agency by Executive Order 5398 of July 21, 1930, in 
accordance with the Act of July 3, 1930 (46 Stat. 1016). This 
act authorized the President to consolidate and coordinate 
Federal agencies especially created for or concerned with the 
administration of laws providing benefits to veterans, 
including the Veterans' Bureau, the Bureau of Pensions, and the 
National Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers. On March 15, 
1989, the Veterans Administration was elevated to Cabinet-level 
status as the Department of Veterans Affairs [VA].
    The VA's mission is to serve America's veterans and their 
families as their principal advocate in ensuring they receive 
the care, support, and recognition they have earned in service 
to the Nation. On September 30, 2007, there were an estimated 
23.5 million living veterans, with 23.4 million of them 
residing in the United States and Puerto Rico. There were an 
estimated 35.9 million dependents (spouses and dependent 
children) of living veterans in the United States and Puerto 
Rico. There were over 536,000 survivors of deceased veterans 
receiving VA survivor benefits in the United States and Puerto 
Rico. Thus, more than 59.9 million people, or 19.6 percent of 
the total estimated resident population of the United States 
and Puerto Rico, were recipients, or potential recipients, of 
veterans benefits from the Federal Government. The VA's 
operating units include the Veterans Benefits Administration, 
Veterans Health Administration, National Cemetery 
Administration, and staff support offices.
    The Veterans Benefits Administration [VBA] provides an 
integrated program of non-medical veterans benefits. The VBA 
administers a broad range of benefits to veterans and other 
eligible beneficiaries through 57 regional offices and the 
records processing center in St. Louis, Missouri. The benefits 
provided include: compensation for service-connected 
disabilities; pensions for wartime, needy, and totally disabled 
veterans; vocational rehabilitation assistance; educational and 
training assistance; home buying assistance; estate protection 
services for veterans under legal disability; information and 
assistance through personalized contacts; and six life 
insurance programs.
    The Veterans Health Administration [VHA] develops, 
maintains, and operates a national health care delivery system 
for eligible veterans; carries out a program of education and 
training of health care personnel; carries out a program of 
medical research and development; and furnishes health services 
to members of the Armed Forces during periods of war or 
national emergency. A system of 155 hospitals, 1,089 outpatient 
clinics, 135 nursing homes, and 50 VA residential 
rehabilitation treatment programs is maintained to meet the 
VA's medical mission.
    The National Cemetery Administration [NCA] provides for the 
interment of the remains of eligible deceased service members 
and discharged veterans in any national cemetery with available 
grave space; permanently maintains these graves; provides 
headstones and markers for the graves of eligible persons in 
national and private cemeteries; administers the grant program 
for aid to States in establishing, expanding, or improving 
State veterans' cemeteries; and provides certificates to 
families of deceased veterans recognizing the veterans' 
contributions and service to the Nation. The National Cemetery 
Administration includes 164 cemeterial installations and 
activities.
    Other VA offices include the General Counsel, Office of 
Inspector General, Boards of Contract Appeals and Veterans 
Appeals, and the general administration, which supports the 
Secretary, Deputy Secretary, Under Secretary for Benefits, 
Under Secretary for Health, and the Under Secretary for 
Memorial Affairs.
    Medical Services and Medical Administration.--The 
Department's fiscal year 2009 budget request proposes merging 
the Medical services account and the Medical administration 
account. The Committee concurs with this recommendation. Prior 
to the establishment of the three medical care appropriations 
accounts in 2004 (Medical services, Medical administration, and 
Medical facilities), a medical facility director was allocated 
a single budget that could be used to address local operational 
priorities related to the care of veterans as needed. For 
example, funds could be used to address critical vacancies in 
nurse staffing or security personnel, patient scheduling, or 
medical collections functions as the need arose. All of these 
functions are critical to the successful care and treatment of 
the patient.
    The current account structure constrains the ability of 
medical center directors to assure an appropriate balance of 
clinical and operational staffing. For example, a director may 
need to hire additional clinical staff which is paid from the 
Medical services account. To accommodate the additional 
clinical staff, the director may need to increase support staff 
to conduct quality assurance or perform medical coding, which 
is paid from the Medical administration account. If sufficient 
funding is not available in the Medical administration account 
at the facility, the director cannot shift funding from the 
other medical care appropriations to support this function. By 
combining the two appropriations, the facility director could 
immediately hire additional clinical staff and the appropriate 
supporting staff without seeking a realignment of funds from VA 
headquarters.
    The Committee understands the rationale for having separate 
accounts to ensure proper oversight. However, the current 
account structure has created bureaucratic confusion at the 
medical center level often slowing effective delivery of health 
care. In order to provide the needed flexibility to medical 
center directors while ensuring proper oversight, the Committee 
recommends consolidating the Medical services and Medical 
administration accounts, but includes new reporting 
requirements to allow the Committee to effectively monitor 
administrative functions.
    Legislative Initiatives.--The Committee is pleased to note 
that the VA did not predicate its fiscal year 2009 budget 
request on a proposal to impose new fees and increased co-
payments on veterans for medical services and prescription 
medicines. This is an issue which is clearly in the purview of 
the authorizing committee, and is not an appropriations issue. 
The Committee has repeatedly denied such budget assumptions in 
the past and commends the VA for following its guidance in 
developing the fiscal year 2009 budget request, which assumes 
no revenue from fees that have not been passed into law.
    Medical Facilities.--The Committee remains committed to 
providing the VA the resources it needs to recapitalize its 
aging medical facilities and infrastructure, modernize existing 
facilities, and ensure that life safety requirements are met 
throughout VA medical facilities. Over the past 2 fiscal years, 
the Committee has provided the Department more than 
$2,300,000,000 above the requested levels for major 
construction, minor construction, and non-recurring 
maintenance. However, the President's budget request for fiscal 
year 2009 has not built upon these investments and instead 
continues to underfund VA medical facilities. The President's 
request proposes to cut funding for major construction, despite 
the fact that the VA's 5-Year Capital Plan shows a need of 
slightly over $5,500,000,000 in major capital projects. The 
budget request also proposes to reduce funding for minor 
construction, despite an aging infrastructure that, according 
to the VA's Facilities Condition Assessment, encompasses almost 
$6,000,000,000 worth of code deficiencies. The Committee is 
pleased to note that the VA is obligating the additional funds 
that Congress has provided, but is disheartened that the 
President did not adequately address capital needs in his 
fiscal year 2009 request. Therefore, the Committee 
recommendation includes an additional $1,336,165,000 over the 
President's budget request for major and minor construction and 
non-recurring maintenance needs in fiscal year 2009.
    Services for Women Veterans.--The Committee remains 
dedicated to ensuring that the emerging needs of women veterans 
are met, and is committed to working with the Department to 
refine its programs, services, and outreach efforts in order to 
inform women veterans of their eligibility status and improve 
their access to services. The percentage of women veterans 
receiving care from the VA is expected to double in the next 5 
years, with women combat veterans making up a large portion of 
the increase. The Committee recommendation includes an 
additional $5,000,000 for outreach and transitional assistance 
for women veterans.
    The Committee is pleased that the Department has begun to 
address the unique needs of women veterans with the 
establishment of the Center for Women Veterans and the Advisory 
Committee on Women Veterans, and encourages the Department to 
continue its ongoing study of women's issues and to expand 
outreach to women veterans to ensure they are aware of the 
benefits they have earned.
    To better prepare for the anticipated surge of women 
veterans seeking health care from the VA, the Committee urges 
the Department to conduct a comprehensive assessment of the 
needs of women veterans, with a focus on specialized programs, 
including women veterans with post traumatic stress disorder, 
women who are homeless, women who require care for mental 
illness, sexual trauma, or substance abuse, and women who 
require prenatal care. Additionally, the Committee encourages 
the Department to create a certification program for clinicians 
working with victims of sexual trauma and to join with the 
Institute of Medicine, or a comparable organization, to conduct 
a study on the health consequences of women veterans serving in 
the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

                        ADMINISTRATION OVERVIEW

    The Veterans Benefits Administration [VBA] is responsible 
for the payment of compensation and pension benefits to 
eligible ser- 
vice-connected disabled veterans. This administration also 
provides education benefits and housing loan guarantees.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends $46,901,162,000 for the Veterans 
Benefits Administration. This amount is composed of 
$43,111,681,000 for ``Compensation and pensions''; 
$3,832,944,000 for ``Readjustment benefits''; $42,300,000 for 
``Veterans insurance and indemnities''; $2,000,000 for the 
``Veterans housing benefit program fund'', with $246,000,000 in 
credit subsidies and $157,210,000 for administrative expenses; 
$61,000 for the ``Vocational rehabilitation loans program 
account'' and $320,000 for administrative expenses; and 
$646,000 for the ``Native American veteran housing loan program 
account''.

                       COMPENSATION AND PENSIONS

                     (INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

Appropriations, 2008.................................... $41,236,322,000
Budget estimate, 2009...................................  43,111,681,000
Committee recommendation................................  43,111,681,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    Compensation is payable to living veterans who have 
suffered impairment of earning power from service-connected 
disabilities. The amount of compensation is based upon the 
impact of disabilities on a veteran's earning capacity. Death 
compensation or dependency and indemnity compensation is 
payable to the surviving spouses and dependents of veterans 
whose deaths occur while on active duty or result from service-
connected disabilities. A clothing allowance may also be 
provided for service-connected veterans who use a prosthetic or 
orthopedic device.
    Pensions are an income security benefit payable to needy 
wartime veterans who are precluded from gainful employment due 
to non-service-connected disabilities which render them 
permanently and totally disabled. Public law 107-103, the 
Veterans Education and Benefits Expansion Act of 2001, restored 
the automatic presumption of permanent and total non-service 
connected disability for purposes of awarding a pension to 
veterans age 65 and older, subject to the income limitations 
that apply to all pensioners. Death pensions are payable to 
needy surviving spouses and children of deceased wartime 
veterans. The rate payable for both disability and death 
pensions is determined on the basis of the annual income of the 
veteran or their survivors.
    Claims Processing.--The Committee remains concerned with 
the time it takes the VA to efficiently process a veteran's 
disability claim. Through May 2008, the average days it took to 
process a claim was 182, and the pending backlog of claims 
stood at 390,000. Since 2000, VBA has experienced a steady 
increase in the number and complexity of disability claims 
filed. In fact, disability claims increased by 45 percent from 
2000 to 2007. The Committee is committed to providing the VA 
with the resources it needs to expedite the processing of these 
claims. For fiscal year 2009, the Committee recommends for 
VBA's General operating expense account an additional 
$70,000,000 above the President's budget request. Additionally, 
the Committee is aware that the VA has initiated special near-
term workload and inventory reduction initiatives and directs 
the Department to report to the Committees on Appropriations of 
both House of Congress no later than December 31, 2008, on 
these initiatives and the impacts they have had in reducing the 
average waiting time and the pending backlog of claims.
    Additionally, the Committee is concerned that the VA has 
not moved quickly enough to develop or acquire new technology 
that would allow the Department to more efficiently process 
claims. The Committee directs the VA to submit a report to the 
Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress no 
later than January 23, 2009, detailing what steps the VA has 
taken to modernize claims processing information technology 
infrastructure and the current plan to leverage technology to 
create a more efficient and veteran-friendly system.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends $43,111,681,000 for ``Compensation 
and pensions''. This is an increase of $1,875,359,000 above the 
fiscal year 2008 enacted level and the same as the budget 
request. The amount includes funds for a projected fiscal year 
2009 cost-of-living increase of 2.5 percent for all disability 
compensation beneficiaries and pension recipients.
    The appropriation includes $26,798,000 in payments to the 
``General operating expenses'', ``Medical services'', and 
``Information technology systems'' accounts for expenses 
related to implementing provisions of the Omnibus Budget 
Reconciliation Act of 1990, the Veterans' Benefits Act of 1992, 
the Veterans' Benefits Improvements Act of 1994, and the 
Veterans' Benefits Improvements Act of 1996.

Educational Assistance Program (Montgomery GI bill) authorized 
under 38 U.S.C. section 30. Eligibility to receive this 
assistance began in 1987. Basic benefits are funded through 
appropriations made to the readjustment benefits appropriation 
and transfers from the Department of Defense. This account also 
finances vocational rehabilitation, specially adapted housing 
grants, automobile grants with the associated approved adaptive 
equipment for certain disabled veterans, and educational 
assistance allowances for eligible dependents of those veterans 
who died from service-connected causes or have a total 
permanent service-connected disability, as well as dependents 
of service members who were captured or missing in action.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends $3,832,944,000 for ``Readjustment 
benefits''. This is an increase of $532,655,000 above the

veterans; and veterans mortgage life insurance to individuals 
who have received a grant for specially adapted housing.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends $42,300,000 for ``Veterans 
insurance and indemnities''. This is an increase of $1,050,000 
above the fiscal year 2008 enacted level and the same as the 
budget request. The Department estimates there will be 
7,087,725 policies in force in fiscal year 2009 with a value of 
$1,084,862,000,000.

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    This appropriation provides for all costs, with the 
exception of the ``Native American veteran housing loan 
program'' and the ``Guaranteed transitional housing loans for 
homeless veterans program'', of the VA's direct and guaranteed 
housing loans, as well as the administrative expenses to carry 
out these programs.
    VA loan guaranties are made to service members, veterans, 
reservists and unremarried surviving spouses for the purchase 
of homes, condominiums, manufactured homes and for refinancing 
loans. VA guarantees part of the total loan, permitting the 
purchaser to obtain a mortgage with a competitive interest 
rate, even without a downpayment, if the lender agrees. The VA 
requires that a downpayment be made for a manufactured home. 
With a VA guaranty, the lender is protected against loss up to 
the amount of the guaranty if the borrower fails to repay the 
loan.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends such sums as may be necessary for 
funding subsidy payments, estimated to total $2,000,000; and 
$157,210,000 for administrative expenses for fiscal year 2009. 
Bill language limits gross obligations for direct loans for 
specially-adapted housing to $500,000.

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    This appropriation covers the funding subsidy cost of 
direct loans for vocational rehabilitation of eligible veterans 
and, in addition, it includes administrative expenses necessary 
to carry out the direct loan program. Loans of up to $1,041 
(based on the indexed chapter 31 subsistence allowance rate) 
are currently available to service-connected disabled veterans 
enrolled in vocational rehabilitation programs, as provided 
under 38 U.S.C. chapter 31, when the veteran is temporarily in 
need of additional assistance. Repayment is made in 10 monthly 
installments, without interest, through deductions from future 
payments of compensation, pension, subsistence allowance, 
educational assistance allowance, or retirement pay. Virtually 
all loans are repaid in full and most in less than 1 year.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends $61,000 for program costs and 
$320,000 for administrative expenses for the ``Vocational 
rehabilitation loans program account''. The administrative 
expenses may be transferred to and merged with the ``General 
operating expenses'' account. Bill language is included 
limiting program direct loans to $3,180,000. It is estimated 
that the VA will make 4,021 loans in fiscal year 2009, with an 
average amount of $791.

          NATIVE AMERICAN VETERAN HOUSING LOAN PROGRAM ACCOUNT

Appropriations, 2008....................................        $628,000
Budget estimate, 2009...................................         646,000
Committee recommendation................................         646,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The Native American Veteran Housing Loan Program is 
authorized by 38 U.S.C. chapter 37, section 3761 to provide 
direct loans to Native American veterans living on trust lands. 
The loans are available to purchase, construct, or improve 
homes to be occupied as veteran residences. The principal 
amount of a loan under this authority is limited to the Federal 
Home Loan Mortgage Corporation's single-family conventional 
conforming loan limit. Veterans pay a funding fee of 1.25 
percent of the loan amount but veterans with service-connected 
disability are exempt from paying the fee. Before a direct loan 
can be made, the veteran's tribal organization must sign a 
memorandum of understanding with the VA regarding the terms and 
conditions of the loan. The Native American Veteran Housing 
Loan Program began as a pilot program in 1993 and was made 
permanent by Public Law 109-233, the Veterans Housing 
Opportunity and Benefits Act of 2006.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends $646,000 for administrative 
expenses associated with this program. This is $18,000 above 
the fiscal year 2008 enacted level and the same as the budget 
request.

  GUARANTEED TRANSITIONAL HOUSING LOANS FOR HOMELESS VETERANS PROGRAM 
                                ACCOUNT

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    This program was established by Public Law 105-368, the 
Veterans Programs Enhancement Act of 1998. The program is a 
pilot project designed to expand the supply of transitional 
housing for homeless veterans and to guarantee up to 15 loans 
with a maximum aggregate value of $100,000,000. The project 
must enforce sobriety standards and provide a wide range of 
supportive services such as counseling for substance abuse and 
development of job readiness skills.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    All funds authorized for the ``Guaranteed transitional 
housing loans for homeless veterans program account'' have been 
appropriated. Therefore, additional appropriations are not 
required. Administrative expenses of the program, limited to 
$750,000 for fiscal year 2009, will be borne by the ``Medical 
services'' and ``General operating expenses'' accounts.

                        ADMINISTRATION OVERVIEW

    The Department of Veterans Affairs operates the largest 
Federal medical care delivery system in the country, with 155 
hospitals, 50 VA residential rehabilitation treatment programs, 
135 nursing homes, and 1,089 outpatient clinics, which include 
independent, satellite, community-based, and rural outreach 
clinics.
    The Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Care Collections 
Fund [MCCF] was established by the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 
(Public Law 105-33). In fiscal year 2004, Public Law 108-199 
allowed the Department to deposit first-party and 
pharmaceutical co-payments; third-party insurance payments and 
enhanced use collections; long-term care co-payments; 
Compensated Work Therapy Program collections; Compensation and 
Pension Living Expenses Program collections; and Parking 
Program fees into the MCCF.
    The Parking Program provides funds for the construction, 
alteration, and acquisition (by purchase or lease) of parking 
garages at VA medical facilities authorized by 38 U.S.C. 
section 8109. The Secretary is required under certain 
circumstances to establish and collect fees for the use of such 
garages and parking facilities. Receipts from the parking fees 
are to be deposited into the MCCF and are used for medical 
services activities.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends $41,078,232,000 for the Veterans 
Health Administration, without collections. This amount is 
composed of $35,590,432,000 for Medical services; 
$4,961,000,000 for Medical facilities; and $526,800,000 for 
Medical and prosthetic research. Medical care collections are 
expected to be $2,544,000,000. Therefore, VHA will have total 
resources of $43,622,232,000, plus any carryover from fiscal 
year 2008, available in fiscal year 2009.

                           AREAS OF INTEREST

    DOD-VA Health Care Resource Sharing.--The Committee 
continues to believe that the Department of Defense and the 
Department of Veterans Affairs should explore opportunities for 
sharing resources in a way that improves care for service 
members who are transitioning from DOD to VA care. As part of 
this effort, the Committee encourages the VA to survey 
opportunities for increased collaboration and resource sharing 
with DOD at military installations, including Fort Carson, 
Colorado.
    VA Nursing Academy.--The Committee commends the VA for 
addressing the nursing shortage through the Veterans Affairs 
Nursing Academy. This 5-year pilot program is designed to 
establish partnerships with competitively selected nursing 
schools to expand the number of teaching faculty in VA 
facilities and affiliated nursing schools in order to increase 
student enrollment in baccalaureate nursing programs. The 
Committee also urges the VA to continue its collaboration with 
the Department of Defense through the Uniformed Services 
University of the Health Services [USUHS] by providing nurse 
faculty and nursing students in the graduate nursing education 
programs.
    Advanced Nursing Education.--The Committee urges the VA, in 
conjunction with accredited schools of nursing, to explore the 
development of a fast track doctoral training program which 
would facilitate completion of a doctorate [Ph.D.] in nursing 
by qualified nurses employed within the VA network who possess 
a bachelor of science in nursing.
    National Veterans Wheelchair Games.--The Committee 
understands that Spokane, Washington, has been selected as the 
host of the 2009 National Veterans Wheelchair Games. The 
Wheelchair Games are a multi-event sports and rehabilitation 
program for military service veterans who use wheelchairs for 
sports competition due to spinal cord injuries, amputations, or 
certain neurological problems. The Committee believes that the 
programs and activities that constitute the National Veterans 
Wheelchair Games are central to the rehabilitation, health 
promotion, and prevention of secondary medical conditions and 
encourages the VA to continue its work in this regard.
    Caregiver Assistance.--The Committee is aware of the 
increasing toll that the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan are 
taking on the family members of veterans. The Committee 
recognizes that the VA lacks statutory authority to treat 
family members of veterans and that the programs that exist to 
counsel and train them in their new roles as caregivers remain 
limited. The Committee urges the VA to increase its efforts to 
expand outreach and services to families caring for injured 
veterans.
    Energy Efficiency and Air Quality.--The Committee 
encourages the Department to implement programs to monitor and 
improve both energy efficiency and air quality. As new 
construction progresses on hospitals and improvements are made 
to existing buildings, the Department should be exploring cost-
effective ways to optimize energy use and air quality.
    Pharmaceutical Waste Disposal.--Proper disposal of 
pharmaceutical waste is essential in protecting public health. 
The Committee is concerned about recent published reports 
regarding the discovery of trace amounts of medications, 
including antibiotics, in the drinking water of certain U.S. 
cities. The Committee notes that no VA hospitals have been 
identified as a source of these pollutants, but wants to ensure 
that pharmaceutical waste is properly tracked and disposed of 
at VA medical centers. The Resource Conservation and Recovery 
Act regulates the manner in which hazardous hospital waste is 
disposed. The Committee directs the Department to report to the 
Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress no 
later than 90 days from enactment of this act on the VA policy 
in place to dispose of pharmaceutical waste. Additionally, the 
Committee encourages the VA to study the feasibility of 
developing a pilot program in a minimum of three VISNs to 
explore efficient ways, including manual disposal and potential 
automated solutions, to eliminate the potential hazard of 
wrongful disposal of pharmaceutical waste. The VA is directed 
to report to the Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of 
Congress by February 15, 2009, on any steps taken to implement 
such a pilot program.

separate account.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The Medical services appropriation combines into one 
account programs and funding previously appropriated under 
separate Medical services and Medical administration accounts.
    The Medical services account provides for medical services 
of enrolled eligible veterans and certain dependent 
beneficiaries in VA medical centers, outpatient clinic 
facilities, contract hospitals, State homes, and outpatient 
programs on a fee basis. Hospital and outpatient care is also 
provided by the private sector for certain dependents and 
survivors of veterans under the civilian health and medical 
programs for the VA.
    This account also provides funds for the expenses of 
management, security, and administration of the VA health care 
system. This appropriation provides for costs associated with 
the operation of the VA medical centers; other facilities; and 
VHA headquarters, plus the costs of Veterans Integrated Service 
Network [VISN] offices and facility director offices; chief of 
staff operations; quality of care oversight; legal services; 
billing and coding activities; procurement; financial 
management; and human resource management.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee concurs with the administration's request to 
merge the Medical services and Medical administration accounts. 
The Committee recommendation reflects this change for fiscal 
year 2009. The Committee recommends $35,590,432,000 for 
``Medical services''. This amount is an increase of 
$6,486,212,000 over the fiscal year 2008 enacted level, and 
$1,514,929,000 above the budget request. In addition, the VA 
has the authority to retain co-payments and third-party 
collections, estimated to total $2,544,000,000 in fiscal year 
2009.
    The Committee has included bill language to make available 
through September 30, 2010, up to $1,850,000,000 of the 
``Medical services'' appropriation. This provides flexibility 
to the Department of Veterans Affairs as it continues to 
implement significant program changes.
    The bill includes language to allow for the transfer of 
$15,000,000 to the DOD/VA Health Care Sharing Incentive Fund. 
The Fund provides a mechanism for the DOD and VA to increase 
their resource sharing activities to achieve cost effective use 
of health care services.
    Rural Health Initiative.--According to the Department of 
Veterans Affairs, almost 38 percent of veterans currently 
enrolled in the VA system reside in either a rural area (as 
defined by the U.S. Census) or a highly rural area (a rural 
area within a county with less than seven civilians per square 
mile). As a result of this, Congress enacted Public Law 109-
461, the Veterans Benefits, Health Care and Information 
Technology Act of 2006. Section 212 mandated the establishment 
of the Office of Rural Health [ORH]. The mission of the ORH is 
to improve access and quality of care for enrolled rural 
veterans by developing evidenced-based policies and innovative 
practices to support the unique needs of veterans residing in 
geographically rural areas. The Committee is pleased with the 
efforts made by the Department through the ORH, but believes 
more can be done.
    To this end, the Committee recommendation includes 
$250,000,000 for a new initiative, to be implemented in 
coordination with ORH, aimed at reducing the gap in care that 
often exists for veterans residing in rural areas and veterans 
from Native American populations. The rural health initiative 
will allow the Secretary to explore new ways of serving these 
populations and will provide the Department the resources and 
the latitude to fund initiatives, such as, but not limited to, 
increasing mobile clinics; establishing new outpatient clinics; 
expanding fee based care in areas not served by VA facilities; 
exploring collaboration with other Federal or community 
providers (such as the Indian Health Service, Community Mental 
Health and Health Centers, or other community-based 
organizations); accelerating deployment of telemedicine; and 
funding innovative pilot and demonstration programs. The 
Committee has included this funding in addition to the increase 
for Medical services in order to ensure that the level of 
medical care available for all veterans is not adversely 
affected. To assist the VA in implementing this new initiative, 
the Committee has also increased by $250,000,000 above the 
budget request the Department's availability of funding through 
September 30, 2010. Additionally, in order to provide greater 
flexibility in administering the initiative, the Department is 
reminded that reprogramming authority applies to the Medical 
services account. The Committee directs the Department to track 
this funding separately and report quarterly, by VISN, on the 
initiatives funded under this new program.
    Health Care Income Threshold.--In January 2003, the VA 
suspended health care enrollment for new Priority 8 veterans 
whose income exceeded a certain level. After 5 years, the ban 
remains in place. Currently, a veteran making as little as 
$28,430 a year could be excluded from enrolling in the VA's 
health care system, based on income. The Committee has 
consistently deferred to the committees of jurisdiction on the 
issue of lifting the ban. However, given the skyrocketing cost 
of health care and the steep downturn in the economy, the 
Committee is very concerned that the income threshold is too 
low and encompasses too many veterans facing economic hardship. 
The Committee understands that if the VA health care system 
were to be opened to additional Priority 8 veterans, the 
Department would prefer an incremental approach as opposed to 
lifting the ban entirely, which could overwhelm the VA's 
ability to absorb the increased patient load. The VA believes 
that an incremental approach would give the Department time to 
budget adequately for direct medical service needs, as well as 
for infrastructure improvements to build physical capacity. 
Until such time as the appropriate legislation can be enacted 
to adequately deal with the suspension of Priority 8 veterans, 
the Committee has included $350,000,000 within Medical services 
for the Department to raise the income threshold to an amount 
commensurate with the increased level of funding. Additionally, 
the Committee directs the Secretary to include cost estimates 
for annually raising the income threshold as part of the fiscal 
year 2010 budget request.
    Account Consolidation Reporting Requirement.--The Committee 
concurs with the Department's proposal to consolidate the 
``Medical services'' account and the ``Medical administration'' 
account. However, to continue proper oversight, the Department 
is directed to provide the Committee bi-annually a report 
tracking the costs associated with the current medical 
administration functions. Additionally, the Committee directs 
the Department to include in future budget submissions those 
functions formerly funded by medical administration as a sub-
function within the ``Medical services'' account.
    Homeless Veterans.--According to the Department of Veterans 
Affairs, on any given night about 154,000 veterans are 
homeless. On May 1, 2008, the Committee held a hearing to 
address the issue of homelessness among the veteran population. 
The goal of the hearing was to approach the issue in a 
comprehensive manner. Thus the Committee heard testimony from 
the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Department of 
Housing and Urban Development, as well as experts from the 
housing and veteran community. The Committee remains supportive 
of the VA's homeless programs and has included an additional 
$30,000,000 to increase the number of caseworkers and personnel 
for the Housing and Urban Development-Veterans Affairs 
Supportive Housing Program to accommodate the increase in 
section 8 vouchers.
    The Committee is aware that the Senate Transportation, 
Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies 
appropriations bill, 2009, included $10,000,000 for the 
Department of Housing and Urban Development to create a 
demonstration program to test methods of homeless prevention 
among the veteran population. As part of this demonstration 
program, the Department of Housing and Urban Development has 
been directed to coordinate with the Department of Veterans 
Affairs and the Department of Labor. The Committee directs the 
VA to dedicate at least $5,000,000 for caseworkers for the 
demonstration program.
    The Committee recommendation also includes an increase of 
$8,000,000 above the President's request for the VA's Homeless 
Grant and Per Diem Program, bringing the funding to the fully 
authorized level of $130,000,000. However, the Committee is 
aware that legislation is currently pending before Congress 
that would raise the authorization level for this program to 
$200,000,000. Should this legislation pass, the Department is 
directed to increase funding for the Homeless Grant and Per 
Diem program to the fully authorized level. Additionally, the 
Committee recommendation includes an additional $10,000,000 
above the President's request for Homeless Grants and Per Diem 
Program Liaisons.
    Beneficiary Travel Mileage Reimbursement.--In fiscal year 
2008, the Committee provided $125,000,000 for the VA to 
increase the mileage reimbursement for veterans to 28.5 cents 
per mile. The Committee commends the Department for following 
Congress' lead and utilizing the funding provided to raise the 
mileage rate. However, with the price of gasoline continuing to 
hit record high levels, the Committee believes that further 
increases are warranted. Therefore, the Committee has included 
an additional $138,000,000 to raise the mileage reimbursement 
rate to 50.5 cents per mile, which bring the VA's rate into 
conformity with the General Services Administration's rate for 
Federal employees.
    Blind Rehabilitation Service/Military Eye Injury Center of 
Excellence.--The mission of the Blind Rehabilitation Service is 
to assist blind and visually impaired veterans in the 
development of skills needed for personal independence and 
successful integration into the community and family 
environment. These services include inpatient and outpatient 
blind and vision rehabilitation programs, adjustment 
counseling, patient and family education, and assistive 
technology.
    The nature of combat in Iraq and Afghanistan has exposed 
many service members to concussive blasts from improvised 
explosive devices and rocket propelled grenades. This has led 
to numerous head injuries, including traumatic brain injury 
[TBI]. One of the major effects of TBI is vision impairment. 
The Committee commends the Department for following Congress' 
direction by increasing and expanding services in both 
inpatient and outpatient facilities. While the VA's Blind 
Rehabilitation Service is known for its excellence in 
delivering comprehensive vision rehabilitation to the Nation's 
blind veterans at 10 VA Blind Rehabilitation Centers, more 
needs to be done to expand treatment to blind and visually 
impaired veterans in outpatient settings closer to where 
veterans live. Therefore, the Committee recommends an 
additional $15,000,000 for the VA's Blind Rehabilitation 
Service to continue expansion of Visual Impairment Services 
Teams, Blind Rehabilitation Outpatient Specialists, and Visual 
Impairment Services Outpatient Rehabilitation.
    For the past several years, the Committee has urged the VA 
to expand outpatient blind rehabilitative services and training 
activities. The Committee continues to support this goal, and 
encourages the VA to collaborate with existing private sector 
organizations with blind rehabilitative services, such as the 
Lions World Services for the Blind in Little Rock, Arkansas, 
and similar organizations, to help address the need identified 
by the Government Accountability Office and the VA's Office of 
Finance and Allocation Resource Center, and the recommendations 
of the VA's Visual Impairment Advisory Board to increase the 
supply of blind rehabilitative outpatient resources.
    Public Law 110-181, the National Defense Authorization Act 
for Fiscal Year 2008, directed the Secretary of Defense to 
establish a center of excellence in the prevention, diagnosis, 
mitigation, treatment, and rehabilitation of military eye 
injuries. To foster greater synergy, the mandate required the 
Department of Defense to collaborate with the Department of 
Veterans Affairs to establish a military eye injury registry. 
The VA's fiscal year 2009 budget request was formulated before 
passage of Public Law 110-181, thus the request does not 
contain any funding for this initiative. The Committee 
recommendation includes $6,900,000 for the VA's portion of this 
initiative. Additionally, the Committee directs the VA to 
submit a report to the Committees on Appropriations no later 
than January 23, 2009, outlining the status of, and the 
coordination efforts undertaken, to establish the center of 
excellence.
    Readjustment Counseling.--The Committee strongly supports 
the services provided by Vet Centers. The Committee 
recommendation includes an additional $15,000,000 for the VA to 
continue to expand the number of Vet Centers across the country 
and to staff them adequately. These centers are often the first 
stop for veterans and their families as they seek counseling to 
readjust to civilian life. A Department of Defense program has 
been developed that has been successfully utilized by Army 
families, which focuses on goals, family strengthening, and 
communication as tools to deal with stressful situations. The 
Committee encourages the VA to consider implementing the 
Defense Department's Healthy Habits program in Vet Centers.
    Mental Health/Post Traumatic Stress Disorder/Traumatic 
Brain Injury.--The Committee remains deeply concerned about the 
propensity of returning combat soldiers to suffer from 
``invisible wounds.'' These invisible wounds encompass a number 
of mental health disorders, such as post traumatic stress 
disorder [PTSD], and traumatic brain injury [TBI]. The 
Committee is encouraged by the strides the Department has made 
in hiring additional mental health providers, opening new Vet 
Centers, and mitigating suicide hazards in inpatient wards. 
Moreover, the Committee is aware that on May 6, 2008, the 
Secretary of the Department of Veterans Affairs announced the 
formation of a ``Blue Ribbon Work Group on Suicide Prevention 
in the Veterans Population.'' The work group has been tasked to 
make recommendations on ways the VA can improve its programs in 
suicide prevention, suicide research and suicide education. The 
Committee directs the VA to report to the Committees on 
Appropriations of both Houses of Congress within 15 days of 
receiving the Work Group's recommendations, actions and costs 
associated with implementing those recommendations. While it is 
clear that the VA has begun to undertake several actions needed 
to ensure that the mental health needs of veterans are met, 
more can be done. For instance, many soldiers returning from 
Iraq and Afghanistan have faced a combination of PTSD and TBI. 
However, the relationship between the two injuries is not well 
understood. Thus the Committee encourages the VA to increase 
funding above the baseline, by at least $2,000,000, for the 
National Centers for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder to expand 
programs to ensure that the combined impact of these wounds is 
properly understood.
    The Committee also commends the staff of the VA's 
Polytrauma Rehabilitation Centers for their efforts in caring 
for those veterans suffering from polytraumatic wounds. The 
increased funding included within the Medical services account 
will allow the VA to continue to provide the highest possible 
care for those veterans and active duty soldiers who rely on 
the polytrauma centers and network sites as they rehabilitate 
from multiple traumatic wounds.
    The Committee recognizes the prevalence of traumatic brain 
injuries among OEF/OIF veterans and the corresponding need for 
increased, specialized brain injury treatment. Public and 
private entities with experience in neurobehavioral 
rehabilitation and recovery can play an important role in 
providing the highest possible standards of care. Consistent 
with section 1703 of Public Law 110-181, the Committee directs 
the Department of Veterans Affairs to establish and expand 
cooperative agreements with these entities to maximize the 
opportunities and expertise available to treat wounded 
warriors.
    Not later than September 30, 2009, the Secretary of 
Veterans Affairs shall submit to the Committees on 
Appropriations of both Houses of Congress, a report that 
identifies actions taken by the VA to expand the pool of 
expertise available to treat traumatic brain injury victims. 
The report shall describe the decisionmaking process used to 
determine the Federal or private facilities at which OEF/OIF 
TBI patients are treated; the number of cooperative agreements 
established with public and private entities with expertise in 
neurobehavioral rehabilitation and recovery, and the 
institutions with which cooperative agreements have been 
established; the number of OEF/OIF veterans treated by the VA 
for a TBI within the calendar year; and the number of OEF/OIF 
veterans referred to a public or private entity for TBI 
treatment via an established cooperative agreement.
    Prosthetic and Sensory Aids Service.--The Prosthetic and 
Sensory Aids Service is an integrated delivery system designed 
to provide medically prescribed prosthetic and sensory aids, 
devices, assistive aids, repairs, and services to eligible 
disabled individuals to facilitate the treatment of their 
medical conditions. The Committee recommendation includes an 
additional $30,000,000 above the President's request for this 
program. Additionally, the Committee encourages the Department 
to increase funding for the treatment of severe communication 
disabilities through the use of speech communication aids and 
the speech and language therapists who prescribe them.
    Hearing Loss.--The Committee recognizes the incidence and 
severity of hearing loss due to faulty sensory nerves, known as 
sensorineural hearing loss, and that its associated costs are 
increasing at dramatic rates. Currently, there are no approved 
therapeutics that either prevent or treat sensorineural hearing 
loss, a leading and costly cause of disability within the VA 
system. The Committee encourages the VA to examine and support 
the development and clinical testing of therapeutics aimed at 
preventing and treating sensorineural hearing loss along with 
age-related, noise-induced and drug-induced hearing loss.
    Third Party Billing.--In June 2008, the Government 
Accountability Office [GAO] issued a report which found that VA 
had ineffective controls over medical center billings. GAO made 
seven recommendations to improve the Department's third party 
billing and collection process. According to the report, the VA 
has concurred with all seven recommendations. The Committee 
directs the Department to provide a detailed report to the 
Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress by 
February 17, 2009, outlining how the VA is implementing these 
recommendations and what further steps are being taken to 
ensure proper coding in the billing process and to strengthen 
internal management oversight.
    Community Reintegration.--The Committee urges the 
Department to develop a community reintegration demonstration 
project for servicemembers and veterans with disabilities that 
are receiving rehabilitation services in polytrauma centers. 
The Committee encourages the VA to consider collaboration with 
national non-profit disability services organizations which 
have a history of providing community-based reintegration 
services for individuals with disabilities.

                         MEDICAL ADMINISTRATION

Committee recommendation\1\.............................................

\1\Funding for Medical administration has been consolidated into the 
Medical services account.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    To improve medical center efficiency, functions and funding 
provided for under the ``Medical administration'' account have 
been consolidated into the ``Medical services'' account as 
proposed in the fiscal year 2009 budget submission.

                           MEDICAL FACILITIES

Appropriations, 2008...........................  $4,100,000,000
Budget estimate, 2009...................................   4,661,000,000
Committee recommendation................................   4,961,000,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The ``Medical facilities'' account provides funds for the 
operation and maintenance of the VA health care system's vast 
capital infrastructure. This appropriation provides for costs 
associated with utilities, engineering, capital planning, 
leases, laundry, groundskeeping, housekeeping, facility repair, 
and property disposition and acquisition.
    The Committee has included bill language to make available 
through September 30, 2010, up to $350,000,000 of the medical 
facilities appropriation. This provision provides flexibility 
to the Department as it continues to implement significant 
program changes.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends $4,961,000,000 for ``Medical 
facilities''. This amount is $861,000,000 above the fiscal year 
2008 enacted level and $300,000,000 above the budget request. 
The Committee has provided a substantial increase above the 
budget request for the Medical facilities account. This 
reflects the Committee's ongoing commitment to ensuring that VA 
medical facilities are maintained at the highest possible 
level. The additional funds provided in the Committee 
recommendation are to be used for critical and non-recurring 
maintenance at existing facilities, as identified in facility 
condition assessment reports. Additionally, these funds are to 
be allocated in a manner not subject to the Veterans Equitable 
Resource Allocation.
    Community Based Outpatient Clinics [CBOCs].--Access to 
quality health care is crucially important to America's 
veterans, many of whom live in areas that are not within easy 
reach of VA medical centers. The VA's network of Community 
Based Outpatient Clinics [CBOCs] provides a vital service to 
those veterans who live in rural or underserved areas, 
particularly given the current spike in gasoline costs. The 
Committee notes that the Department plans to open 64 new CBOCs 
in 2008, and another 51 in 2009. The Committee strongly 
supports the VA's CBOC program, and urges the Department to 
expand its network and expedite the construction of new CBOCs, 
particularly in rural communities.
    Plentywood, Montana.--The Committee urges the VA to study 
the feasibility of establishing a Community Based Outpatient 
Clinic in Plentywood, Montana.
    Northwest Washington.--The Committee is aware of the lack 
of access to VA primary and mental health care in Washington 
State and commends the Department's approval of a Community 
Based Outpatient Clinic [CBOC] in Northwest Washington. The 
Committee supports the recent opening of an interim clinic in 
the region, but is concerned about the lengthy delays in the 
opening of a permanent CBOC. The Committee urges the VA to move 
forward as quickly as possible with its plans to open a 
permanent community-based outpatient clinic in Northwest 
Washington.
    South Puget Sound, Washington.--The Committee is aware of 
the lack of access to primary care, mental health and specialty 
care for thousands of veterans living in Lewis and Thurston 
Counties, Washington, and commends the VA for its decision to 
locate a Community Based Outpatient Clinic in South Puget 
Sound. The Committee urges the VA to open the South Puget Sound 
CBOC as soon as possible in order to increase access to these 
veterans.
    Southeast Vermont.--The Committee is aware of the lack of 
access to VA primary care in southeast Vermont and encourages 
the Department to move forward with the approval of a Community 
Based Outpatient Clinic in southeast Vermont.

                    MEDICAL AND PROSTHETIC RESEARCH

Appropriations, 2008...........................    $480,000,000
Budget estimate, 2009...................................     442,000,000
Committee recommendation................................     526,800,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The ``Medical and prosthetic research'' account provides 
funds for medical, rehabilitative, and health services 
research. Medical research supports basic and clinical studies 
that advance knowledge leading to improvements in the 
prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases and 
disabilities. Rehabilitation research focuses on rehabilitation 
engineering problems in the fields of prosthetics, orthotics, 
adaptive equipment for vehicles, sensory aids and related 
areas. Health services research focuses on improving the 
effectiveness and economy of the delivery of health services.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends $526,800,000 for ``Medical and 
prosthetic research''. This is $46,800,000 above the fiscal 
year 2008 enacted level and $84,800,000 above the budget 
request.
    The Committee remains highly supportive of this program, 
and recognizes its importance both in improving health care 
services to veterans and recruiting and retaining high-quality 
medical professionals in the Veterans Health Administration. 
Through the Department's research and development program, the 
VA has implemented a comprehensive research agenda to develop 
new treatments and tools for clinicians to ease the physical 
and psychological pain of men and women returning from 
conflicts, to improve access to VA health care services, and to 
accelerate discoveries and applications, especially for 
neurotrauma, sensory loss, amputation, polytrauma, and related 
prosthetic needs. However, the President's budget request 
proposes to reduce funding for the overall medical research 
program, and specifically proposes to cut funding for 
designated research areas, such as acute and traumatic injury; 
diabetes; mental illness; and military exposure. The Committee 
rejects this proposal and instead has expanded the scope of VA 
medical research. The Committee recommendation maintains the 
current level of VA research, with a 3.5 percent increase over 
the fiscal year 2008 enacted level to cover inflation, and 
includes an additional $30,000,000 for the VA to begin research 
in critical areas, such as polytrauma, sensory loss, post 
traumatic stress disorder, and suicide prevention. As in years 
past, the Committee strongly encourages the Department to 
continue its effort to develop clinical practices using 
evidenced-based medicine.
    Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis [ALS].--The Committee is 
concerned about the high incidence of Amyotrophic Lateral 
Sclerosis [ALS] among our Nation's veterans and believes that 
more needs to be done. Commonly referred to as Lou Gehrig's 
disease, ALS is a progressive, neurodegenerative disease that 
attacks nerve cells and pathways in the brain and spinal cord, 
eventually resulting in total paralysis and death. Studies by 
the Department of Defense and the Department of Veterans 
Affairs [VA] have shown that veterans of the 1991 gulf war are 
nearly twice as likely to suffer from ALS as other veterans.
    The Committee is pleased by the VA's decision to treat ALS 
cases in gulf war veterans and rate them as a presumptive 
service-connected disability. However, the Committee is 
concerned other veterans returning from the Persian Gulf may be 
exposed to the same risk factors and believes more can be done 
to treat ALS cases in non-gulf war veterans. A 2005 study by 
the Harvard School of Public Health found that men with any 
history of military service are 60 percent more likely to 
develop ALS than men in the general population. Despite these 
findings, the Department reduced its ALS research budget by 20 
percent from fiscal years 2005 through 2007. The Committee 
strongly encourages the VA to reevaluate its policies regarding 
this disease and to restore its baseline budget to the fiscal 
year 2005 level in order to quantify the correlation between 
ALS and combat service in all veterans. Therefore, the 
Committee directs the Department to submit to the Committees on 
Appropriations of both Houses of Congress no later than April 
1, 2009, a strategic plan to address this disease.
    Gulf War Illness Research.--The Committee is encouraged by 
the Department of Veterans Affairs' commitment to continue 
research into gulf war illness and directs the Department to 
devote not less than $15,000,000 annually, which is equal to 
the level of dedicated funding in fiscal year 2008, for this 
research.
    Longitudinal Study.--In fiscal year 2008, the Committee 
included report language directing the Department to fulfill 
the mandate carried in section 212 of Public Law 106-419, the 
Veterans Benefits and Health Care Improvement Act of 2000, to 
contract for a follow-up study, using the same participants of 
the original 1988 Vietnam Veterans Longitudinal Study. The 
follow-up study was to provide data on long-term effects of 
combat-related post traumatic stress disorder [PTSD] among 
Vietnam veterans, regardless of whether these veterans were 
utilizing the VA system, and the effectiveness of VA medical 
care in treating PTSD. In a March 31, 2008, report to the 
Committee, the Department offered an alternative approach, 
noting problems with the original contract and highlighting an 
Inspector General report which found that the original contract 
included ineffective planning, oversight, contracting and 
project management. While the alternative approach may in fact 
yield useful research, the Committee expects the VA to comply 
with Public Law 106-419 unless otherwise directed. The 
Committee, therefore, urges the Department to fulfill the 
mandate, through competitive means and complying with Federal 
and VA acquisition regulations, carried in Public Law 106-419, 
taking into consideration the concerns raised by several of the 
leading Veterans Service Organizations of the alternative 
approach, including the sample size and diversity of the 
research subjects. As a follow-on to the Department's March 31, 
2008, report, the Department is directed to report back to the 
Committee no later than March 24, 2009, on the progress made to 
conduct a follow-up study using the same participants of the 
original 1988 Longitudinal Study.
    Herbicide Exposure.--The Air Force Health Study [AFHS] was 
initiated in 1982 to examine the effects of herbicide exposure 
on health, mortality, and reproductive outcomes in veterans of 
Operation Ranch Hand. The study is noteworthy for the amount of 
data and biological specimens collected and preserved. The 
Committee urges the VA to use the unique assets of the Air 
Force Health Study to conduct additional research on the 
effects of herbicide exposure.
    Nursing Research Program.--The Committee supports the 
Veterans Affairs Nursing Research Program, which facilitates 
research on the specific nursing needs of combat veterans and 
aging veterans. The Committee strongly supports continuation of 
this program. The Committee also encourages collaboration 
between VA nurses and recipients of Tri Service Nursing 
Research Program awards in the exploration of research 
proposals that improve the health and well-being of their 
shared beneficiary population.
    Geriatric Care.--The Committee is concerned that as the 
median age of veterans rises, the VA has not adequately 
concentrated its resources to deliver world class geriatric 
care. The Committee strongly encourages the VA to evaluate the 
desirability of expanding research and clinical specialists in 
disciplines related to aging to stay at the forefront of 
geriatric care.
    Vision Loss.--The Committee urges the VA to expand its 
efforts to develop and test adaptations and modifications for 
advanced information and communications technologies to ensure 
their usability by veterans with vision loss. The Committee 
notes the expertise of the American Foundation for the Blind 
and its Technology and Employment Center [AFB TECH] and, if 
appropriate, encourages the VA to consider collaboration with 
AFB to leverage its expertise in vision loss, including the 
product evaluation and standards development work at the AFB 
TECH laboratory.

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The Medical Care Collection Fund [MCCF] was established by 
the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 (Public Law 105-33). In fiscal 
year 2004, Public Law 108-199 allowed the Department of 
Veterans Affairs to deposit first party and pharmacy co-
payments; third party insurance payments and enhanced use 
collections; long-term care co-payments; Compensated Work 
Therapy Program collections; and Parking Program fees into the 
MCCF. The Secretary of Veterans Affairs has the authority to 
transfer funds between the MCCF and the medical services 
appropriation and medical facilities appropriation.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommendation includes the authority to 
retain co-payments and third party collections, estimated to 
total $2,544,000,000 in fiscal year 2009.

                    National Cemetery Administration

Appropriations, 2008....................................    $195,000,000
Budget estimate, 2009..........................     180,959,000
Committee recommendation.......................     230,000,000

                        ADMINISTRATION OVERVIEW

    The National Cemetery Administration was established in 
accordance with Public Law 93-94, the National Cemeteries Act 
of 1973. It has a four-fold mission: to provide for the 
interment in any national cemetery of the remains of eligible 
deceased service members and discharged veterans, together with 
their spouses and certain dependents, and permanently to 
maintain their graves; to provide headstones for, and to mark 
graves of eligible persons in national, State, and private 
cemeteries; to administer the grant program for aid to States 
in establishing, expanding, or improving State veterans' 
cemeteries; and to administer the Presidential Memorial 
Certificate Program.
    In 2009, cemeterial activities will encompass a total of 
164 cemeterial installations in 39 States, the District of 
Columbia, and Puerto Rico. The Committee's recommendation for 
the National Cemetery Administration provides funds for all of 
these cemeterial installations.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends $230,000,000 for the National 
Cemetery Administration. This is an increase of $35,000,000 
over the fiscal year 2008 enacted level and $49,041,000 above 
the budget request.
    The Committee has included bill language to make available 
through September 30, 2010, up to $23,000,000 of the ``National 
Cemetery Administration'' [NCA] appropriation.
    The Committee has recommended additional funds for NCA to 
continue its efforts to correct gravesite deficiencies, 
including the repair of sunken graves and the realignment and 
maintenance of headstones.
    Colorado National Cemeteries.--The State of Colorado's 
veteran population in the area known as Front Range is divided 
into two distinct geographical areas, generally represented as 
those areas encompassed by (1) Denver, Boulder, Fort Collins, 
and Greeley and, (2) Colorado Springs and Pueblo. The Committee 
is concerned that traveling to and from the Fort Logan National 
Cemetery in Denver may impose an undue hardship on the families 
of deceased veterans from southern Colorado. The Committee 
therefore urges the National Cemetery Administration to conduct 
a study to determine the need and feasibility of establishing 
two National Veterans Cemeteries in Colorado's Front Range 
region.
    The Committee is also aware that in preparing for the Fort 
Logan National Cemetery reaching capacity, the VA may seek to 
acquire land for an expansion site. The Committee encourages 
the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to consider locations south 
of Colorado Springs, Colorado.

                        ADMINISTRATION OVERVIEW

    This appropriation provides for the administration of 
nonmedical veterans benefits through the Veterans Benefits 
Administration [VBA], the executive direction of the 
Department, several top level supporting offices, the Board of 
Contract Appeals, and the Board of Veterans' Appeals.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends $6,583,356,000 for ``Departmental 
administration''. The amount is composed of $1,779,125,000 for 
``General operating expenses''; $93,900,000 for the ``Office of 
the Inspector General''; $1,217,747,000 for ``Construction,

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    This appropriation provides for the ``General operating 
expenses'' of the Department of Veterans Affairs.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends $1,779,125,000 for ``General 
operating expenses''. This amount is $174,125,000 above the 
fiscal year 2008 enacted level and $79,258,000 above the budget 
request. The recommendation includes an increase of $70,000,000 
for the Veterans Benefit Administration to continue to hire an 
additional 500 claims adjudicators, to refine its training 
procedures, and to enter into operational leases to acquire 
space to accommodate the increased personnel. The Committee has 
also provided $3,838,000 above the President's request for the 
Board of Veterans Appeals [BVA] and $3,220,000 above the 
President's request for the Office of the General Counsel [GC]. 
The Committee has also provided an additional $1,000,000 for 
the Office of Public and Intergovermental Affairs to implement 
a new initiative for better outreach to veterans. As the 
Department hires more claims processors, the number of expected 
appeals will increase. Thus the additional funding will provide 
both the BVA and GC with increased personnel to handle these 
appeals.

    Franchise Fund.--The Franchise Fund was established in 1997 
as a pilot program and made permanent in fiscal year 2006 under 
Public Law 109-114. The Committee directs the Department to 
provide a report on the Franchise Fund's business plan for 
fiscal year 2009. This plan should include a list of services, 
customers, overhead expenses, funds collected for services, and 
the unobligated balance from the previous fiscal year. The VA 
shall submit this report to the Committees on Appropriations in 
both Houses of Congress no later than 60 days following 
enactment of this act.

                      OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL

Appropriations, 2008....................................     $80,500,000
Budget estimate, 2009...................................      76,500,000
Committee recommendation................................      93,900,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The Office of Inspector General was established by the 
Inspector General Act of the 1978 and is responsible for the 
audit and investigation and inspections of all Department of 
Veterans Affairs programs and operations.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends $93,900,000 for the Office of 
Inspector General. This is $13,400,000 above the fiscal year 
2008 enacted level and $17,400,000 above the budget request.
    The President's request proposes to cut funding for the 
Office of Inspector General [OIG]. This reduction in funding 
would cause the OIG to reduce its staff by 48 positions, 
resulting in fewer national audits and health care inspections. 
The Committee rejects the proposed reduction and provides 
sufficient funding for the OIG to maintain current services 
plus an additional $4,500,000 to provide cyclical reviews of 
individual VBA Regional Offices to assess quality assurance of 
benefit claims processing, focusing on timeliness, accuracy, 
reduction of backlogs, productivity, training, and transition 
assistance for veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

                      CONSTRUCTION, MAJOR PROJECTS

Appropriations, 2008\1\.................................  $1,069,100,000

Committee recommendation................................   1,217,747,000

\1\Excludes $396,377,000 in emergency supplemental funding included in 
Public Law 110-252.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The ``Construction, major projects'' account provides for 
constructing, altering, extending, and improving any of the 
facilities (including parking projects) under the jurisdiction 
or for the use of the VA, including planning, architectural and 
engineering services, Capital Asset Realignment Enhanced 
Services [CARES] activities, assessment, and site acquisition 
where the estimated cost of a project is more than the amount 
set forth in 38 U.S.C. section 8104(a)(3)(A). Proceeds realized 
from Enhanced Use Lease activities may be deposited into the 
``Construction, major projects'' and ``Construction, minor 
projects'' accounts.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of $1,217,747,000 
for the construction of major projects. This is $148,647,000 
above the fiscal year 2008 enacted level and $636,165,000 above 
the budget request. While the Committee has continued its 
practice of not earmarking major construction projects not 
requested in the budget submission, the Committee is extremely 
disappointed in the budget request for major construction. The 
Department's 5-Year Capital Plan outlines a capital 
construction need for medical facilities of over 
$5,500,000,000. Yet the President's budget request for medical 
facility construction for the Veterans Health Administration 
totals only $397,652,000, less than one-tenth of the 
requirement.
    The Department is expected to identify additional capital 
requirements in fiscal year 2009, due to pending decisions from 
the Capital Asset Realignment for Enhanced Services process. 
This is likely to add additional major construction projects to 
an already largely unfunded list and create an even greater 
backlog of requirements. Therefore, the Committee has included 
an additional $636,165,000 within the ``Construction, Major 
Projects'' account to accelerate funding for the 5-Year Capital 
Plan and to address necessary cost adjustments for previously 
appropriated projects. Based on the VA's 5-Year Capital Plan 
and the Department's process for designing and developing 
projects, the Committee has determined that this increased 
level of funding can be executed in fiscal year 2009 and is 
sufficient to complete planning and design for all of the 
projects in the current plan, address cost adjustments, and 
initiate construction and land acquisition activities on a 
number of projects. Within 45 days of enactment of this act, 
the Department is directed to provide the Committees on 
Appropriations of both Houses of Congress with a detailed 
expenditure plan of how these funds will be allocated, prior to 
obligation.
    The following table reflects the President's budget request 
for major construction projects and activities, and the 
corresponding Committee recommendations. The table does not 
include the additional funding recommended by the Committee to 
accelerate execution of the 5-Year Capital Plan.

\1\Funding for polytrauma rehabilitation center construction was
  provided in Public Law 110-252.

    Beckley, West Virginia, Nursing Home.--The Committee urges 
the VA to include in the President's fiscal year 2010 budget 
sufficient funding for the construction of a 90-bed nursing 
home and adult day care center at the Beckley, West Virginia, 
VA Medical Center, which is included in the current VA 5-Year 
Capital Plan.
    Martinsburg, West Virginia, Medical Center.--The Committee 
urges the VA to include in the President's fiscal year 2010 
budget $3,560,000 for planning and design work associated with 
the renovation and expansion of the primary, mental health, and 
specialty outpatient care facility at the Martinsburg, West 
Virginia, VA Medical Center, which is included in the February 
2005 VA 5-Year Capital Plan.
    Walla Walla, Washington, VA Medical Center Outpatient 
Clinic.--The Committee is aware of the substantial number of 
veterans served by the Walla Walla, Washington, VA Medical 
Center and is supportive of the VA's decision to approve 
construction of an outpatient clinic in Walla Walla as part of 
the CARES process. In order to complete the construction of 
this project in a timely manner, the Committee urges the VA to 
include design funding for the clinic in the fiscal year 2010 
budget request.
    Louisville, Kentucky.--To accelerate the VA's 5 Year 
Capital Plan, the Committee has recommended an increase in 
funds for the Major construction account above the 
administration's fiscal year 2009 request. The Committee is 
acutely aware of the substantial number of veterans in the 
Louisville area who are in need of a new hospital. The increase 
in the overall funding level for the Major construction account 
will result in additional funds above the President's request. 
The additional funding is sufficient to accelerate the 5 Year 
Capital Plan, which includes land acquisition, planning and 
design for the Louisville VA Medical Center.
    Omaha, Nebraska.--The Committee urges the Department to 
undertake a feasibility study to identify and outline the 
options available to the VA to remedy the infrastructure 
deterioration at the current Omaha VA Medical Center [Omaha 
VAMC], in Omaha, NE. At a minimum, the report shall include the 
following:
    (1) The feasibility of relocation or reconstruction of the 
Omaha VAMC, of entering into a partnership with a Federal, 
State, or local governmental agency, or other suitable entity, 
including but not limited to the Creighton University School of 
Medicine and the University of Nebraska Medical Center, for the 
construction and operation of a new facility;
    (2) The medical, legal, and financial implications of each 
of the options identified, including recommendations regarding 
any statutory changes necessary for the Department to carry out 
any of the options identified;
    (3) A detailed cost-benefit analysis of each of the options 
identified; and,
    (4) Estimates regarding the length of time and associated 
costs needed to complete such a facility under each of the 
options identified.
    The VA is directed to report back to the Committees on 
Appropriations of both Houses of Congress within 180 days after 
enactment of this act on what steps, if any, have been taken to 
undertake the feasibility study and any findings, should the 
study be complete.

                      CONSTRUCTION, MINOR PROJECTS

Appropriations, 2008....................................    $630,535,000
Budget estimate, 2009...................................     329,418,000
Committee recommendation................................     729,418,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The ``Construction, minor projects'' account provides for 
constructing, altering, extending, and improving any of the 
facilities (including parking) under the jurisdiction or for 
the use of the VA, including planning, CARES activities, 
assessment of needs, architectural and engineering services, 
and site acquisition, where the estimated cost of a project is 
equal to or less than $10,000,000. Public Law 106-117, the 
Veterans Millennium Health Care and Benefits Act of 1999, gave 
the VA the authority to make capital contributions from minor 
construction in enhanced-use leases. Proceeds realized from 
enhanced-use lease activities may be deposited into the 
``Construction, major projects'' and ``Construction, minor 
projects'' accounts.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends $729,418,000 for minor 
construction. This is $98,883,000 above the fiscal year 2008 
enacted level and $400,000,000 above the budget request.
    The Committee has included additional funds within the 
minor construction account to continue the efforts to reduce 
the backlog of minor construction projects estimated at 
$860,000,000 and to begin an effort to modernize and upgrade 
research facilities. Additionally, of the increase provided 
within this account, the Committee directs that an additional 
$75,000,000 above the budget request be used for gravesite 
expansion and infrastructure improvements at cemeteries 
operated by NCA and an additional $42,000,000 above the budget 
request be used for minor construction associated with the 
Veterans Benefits Administration. The Committee directs the 
Department to submit an expenditure plan by February 25, 2009, 
to the Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress 
for the amount appropriated for minor construction.
    Walla Walla, Washington, Mental Health Facility.--The 
Committee is aware of the great need for mental health care in 
the region served by the Walla Walla VA campus. The Committee 
applauds the Department's decision to build a state-of-the-art 
residential rehabilitation facility focused on mental health at 
the Walla Walla VA Medical Center and urges the VA to complete 
the project as soon as possible.

       GRANTS FOR CONSTRUCTION OF STATE EXTENDED CARE FACILITIES

Appropriations, 2008....................................    $165,000,000
Budget estimate, 2009...................................      85,000,000
Committee recommendation................................     250,000,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    This account is used to provide grants to assist States in 
acquiring or constructing State home facilities for furnishing 
domiciliary or nursing home care to veterans, and to expand, 
remodel or alter existing buildings for furnishing domiciliary, 
nursing home, or hospital care to veterans in State homes. The 
grant may not exceed 65 percent of the total cost of the 
project. Public Law 102-585 granted permanent authority for 
this program, and Public Law 106-117 provided greater 
specificity in directing VA to prescribe regulations for the 
number of beds for which grant assistance may be furnished. 
This program has been a successful partnership between the 
States and the VA in meeting the long-term care needs of 
elderly veterans for decades.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends $250,000,000 for Grants for the 
construction of State extended care facilities. This is 
$85,000,000 above the fiscal year 2008 enacted level and 
$165,000,000 above the budget request. This program cost-
effectively meets long-term health care needs of veterans.
    On August 11, 2006, the VA published its interim final rule 
in the Federal Register setting new regulations regarding 
grants to States for construction or acquisition of State 
homes. To date, the Department has not issued its final rule, 
but has informed the Committee that it is in the final stage of 
processing. The new regulations set aside 70 percent of all 
funding appropriated to the Grants for Construction of State 
Extended Care Facilities account to ensure sufficient funds for 
life safety projects at existing facilities. The remaining 30 
percent is utilized to provide Federal funds for construction 
of new State extended homes. The Department's fiscal year 2009 
budget request proposes an $80,000,000, or 48 percent, 
reduction below the fiscal year 2008 enacted level. For fiscal 
year 2008, the VA's own pending application list shows a need 
of over $550,000,000 in State applications falling into 
priority group one and a total universe of pending applications 
totaling almost $990,000,000. The Committee sees no rationale 
for cutting this program, given the need for safety 
requirements at existing facilities and the need for new State 
extended homes. Therefore, the Committee recommends additional 
funding within this account to assist the Department with life 
safety and facility construction grants.
    Walla Walla, Washington, Long-Term Care Facility.--The 
Committee is aware of the collaborative efforts of the Walla 
Walla VA Medical Center and the Washington State Department of 
Veterans Affairs to meet the long term care needs of veterans 
in southeast Washington and northern Oregon by building a long-
term care facility on the Walla Walla VA Medical Center 
grounds. The Committee supports the creation of a jointly 
operated veterans' home in Walla Walla and encourages the VA to 
promptly review this application, and if appropriate, place the 
project on the priority list for funding from the Grants for 
Construction of State Extended Care Facilities account in 
fiscal year 2009.

        GRANTS FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF STATE VETERANS CEMETERIES

Appropriations, 2008....................................     $39,500,000
Budget estimate, 2009...................................      32,000,000
Committee recommendation................................      42,000,000

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    Public Law 105-368 amended title 38 U.S.C. section 2408 and 
established authority to provide aid to States for 
establishment, expansion, and improvement of State veterans 
cemeteries which are operated and permanently maintained by the 
States. This statutory change increased the maximum Federal 
share from 50 percent to 100 percent in order to fund 
construction costs and the initial equipment expenses when the 
cemetery is established. The States remain responsible for 
providing the land and for paying all costs related to the 
operation and maintenance of the State cemeteries, including 
the costs for subsequent equipment purchases.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends $42,000,000 for Grants for the 
construction of State veterans cemeteries. This is $2,500,000 
above the fiscal year 2008 enacted level and $10,000,000 above 
the budget request.
    The Committee is aware that pending applications for 
improvement or expansion of existing State cemeteries or 
establishment of new State cemeteries totals almost 
$168,000,000 which reflects planned obligations in fiscal year 
2008. The Committee has included additional funding to ensure 
that State cemeteries are maintained at the highest level and 
capacity exists for future burials and to expedite the backlog 
of applications.

                     INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SYSTEMS

Appropriations, 2008\1\.................................  $1,966,465,000

\1\Excludes $20,000,000 in emergency supplemental funding provided in 
Public Law 110-252.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The Information Technology [IT] Systems account was created 
in Public Law 109-114, the Military Quality of Life and 
Veterans Affairs Appropriations Act, 2006, in order to 
centralize the Department's IT development into one account. 
The establishment of this account has allowed for better budget 
planning, control and oversight of VA's IT system development.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee remains very supportive of IT efforts, 
particularly in the field of claims processing and electronic 
health records, and recommends an appropriation of 
$2,471,166,000 for Information Technology Systems, an increase 
of $504,701,000 above the fiscal year 2008 enacted level and 
$29,100,000 above the budget request. Of the amounts provided 
within the IT account, $1,741,929,000 is for non-pay expenses, 
including equipment associated with system development, and 
$729,237,000 is for staffing and administrative expenses. The 
Committee directs the Department to continue to track non-pay 
and pay costs separately in future budget justifications for 
this account. Within the amounts provided, the Committee 
directs that $5,000,000 be utilized for computers and other 
information technology needs associated with the increase in 
claims processors for the Veterans Benefits Administration and 
for increased staff across the VA.
    To provide further oversight and monitoring of system 
development costs, the Committee has included bill language 
requiring the Department to submit an expenditure plan for the 
total amount provided, as well as a reprogramming base letter 
outlining, by project, total costs associated with each 
development project.
    The Committee recommendation includes $2,000,000 above the 
President's budget request to be used to address the VA's 
portion of the implementation of the military eye injury 
registry, including costs for information technology needs, to 
support the Department of Defense's Military Eye Injury Center 
of Excellence.
    Centralization of Information Technology Services.--The 
Committee is concerned that the centralization of information 
technology services in the Department is not meeting the 
intended objectives of the centralization approved by Congress. 
Effective delivery of health care in the 21st century demands 
that hospitals and clinics have state-of-the-art information 
technology systems. The repeated reprogramming requests from 
other departmental accounts to the Information Technology 
Systems account leads the Committee to believe the Department 
has not established an effective process for identifying its 
information technology needs, particularly those at the medical 
center level. The increasing amount of funds being transferred 
into the Information Technology Systems account also calls into 
question whether any efficiencies have been realized from the 
centralization. Additionally, the Committee has repeatedly 
heard complaints that the Office of Information and Technology 
has not established standardized policies and procedures for 
requesting and receiving information technology services, 
equipment, and development and has not established a clear 
organizational structure. Accordingly, the Committee directs 
the Department to conduct a study of the centralization to date 
to examine the degree to which efficiencies have been realized; 
standard policies and procedures for requesting information 
technology services, equipment, and development have been 
implemented; and a clear organizational structure, including 
leadership positions and functional description has been 
implemented. The results of the study should be reported to the 
Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress no 
later than 180 days from enactment of this act.
    Financial and Logistics Integrated Technology Enterprise 
[FLITE].--The Committee has included bill language to make 
available $67,200,000 for the Financial and Logistics 
Integrated Technology Enterprise [FLITE] program in fiscal year 
2009. The FLITE program is a multi-year initiative to replace 
the existing financial and logistics systems of the Department 
of Veterans Affairs [VA] in order to remediate a longstanding 
material weakness in the Department's financial statements. 
Successful implementation of FLITE will integrate and 
standardize data and processes across all VA offices, provide 
management with access to timely and accurate information on VA 
operations, and establish an advanced technology environment 
for accounting and financial reporting.
    The Committee remains highly supportive of FLITE and has 
been pleased by the program's defined scope and its realistic 
schedule and cost. The Committee also applauds the Department 
for taking important steps toward the implementation of FLITE 
on a nationwide scale, including the hiring of a dedicated 
program director and the adoption of a functional governance 
framework. This management structure provides a new and 
necessary level of accountability for this crucial initiative 
and is the first VA information technology project with a 
rigorous project management discipline. However, the Committee 
remains deeply concerned that the VA is not providing 
sufficient funding for FLITE. For fiscal years 2008 and 2009, 
internal budget cuts of nearly $23,000,000 have lengthened the 
program schedule by 18 months and put the nationwide 
implementation of the program in jeopardy. Given the failure of 
the VA's last financial management initiative in Core FLS, the 
Committee believes it is important to adequately fund this new 
initiative to ensure its success. Therefore, the Committee has 
included bill language that restores these internal budget cuts 
and directs the Department to ensure that the FLITE program is 
completed and implemented on its original schedule.
    e-Travel.--The Committee commends the Department of 
Veterans Affairs commitment to improving the electronic travel 
system but is increasingly concerned with the funding of e-
Travel within the Department. The budget justification has not 
yet provided demonstrable evidence that the services provided 
under the current e-Travel contract with FedTraveler, namely 
economies of scale in booking, approving, and reimbursing 
travel expenses, have saved the Department money. Given that 
this system is relatively new, and in the early stages of 
deployment, the estimated savings are still projections. The 
Department's fiscal year 2009 budget request includes funding 
amounts for the following two e-Travel programs: $1,365,000 for 
VA-wide e-Travel and $1,340,000 for e-Gov: e-Travel, yet there 
seems to be little distinction between the two programs, and 
both items go to the same account, creating an additional 
burden on the execution of these funds. The Committee notes 
that this program charges Government travelers a variety of 
fees for each trip, including a self-service booking fee of 
$10.03 per transaction, an assisted-service booking fee of 
$29.95 per transaction, and an accounting fee of $10.64 per 
transaction for creating an expense report for each trip, with 
no discussion in the Department's budget justification. The 
Committee also understands that the FedTraveler system does not 
accommodate group travel and that each member of the group must 
make individual transactions, creating an additional workload 
and missing an opportunity for cost savings to the Department.
    The Committee, therefore, encourages the VA to work with 
the General Services Administration to reassess the various 
fees allowed under the base contract and the potential savings 
associated with adding the group travel functionality to the 
system. In addition, the Committee directs the Department to 
combine the two funding line items into the ``VA-wide e-
Travel'' line in the IT base reprogramming letter and in all 
subsequent budget submissions.
    Reprogramming Requirements.--The Committee is growing 
increasingly concerned that the Office of Information and 
Technology [OIT] does not have sufficient financial controls to 
properly manage the large increases to its ``Information 
Technology'' account. In November 2005, the Committee mandated 
OIT obtain the consent of the Committees on Appropriations of 
both houses of Congress when exceeding the agreed-upon spending 
plan by more than $1,000,000. However, in OIT's fiscal year 
2007 obligation report, which compares the ``Information 
Technology'' account's initial spending plan to end-of-year 
obligations, it appears the Office mismanaged the allocation of 
its fiscal year 2007 IT appropriation. Of nearly 50 budget 
lines in the base reprogramming letter the VA submitted to 
Congress on April 10, 2007, the Office exceeded the $1,000,000 
threshold in almost half of them, including 12 instances of 
exceeding the threshold by $5,000,000 or more and 6 instances 
of exceeding the threshold by $15,000,000 or more. Although OIT 
did not exceed its total budget authority of $1,200,000,000, 
the frequency and amount of these errors in transaction 
activity signify a severe lack of internal financial controls 
and discipline. In fact, in a letter dated May 13, 2008, the 
Assistant Secretary for Information and Technology notified 
this Committee, after the fact, that they had disregarded the 
notification requirements and exceeded the reprogramming 
threshold ``in several instances due to a lack of planning and 
insufficient financial controls''. The Committee notes its 
extreme displeasure that the Office of Information Technology 
has not followed the agreed-upon processes and believes that 
more oversight is needed to ensure compliance with 
congressional directives and adherence to the established 
reprogramming guidelines. Therefore, the Committee directs the 
Office of Information Technology to track IT expenditures on a 
monthly basis and to report these findings to the Committees on 
Appropriations of both Houses of Congress. The Committee 
reminds the Office of Information Technology that, as in the 
past, the accompanying act contains a statutory provision 
mandating the requirement for an IT base reprogramming letter 
and an administrative provision outlining the $1,000,000 
reprogramming threshold.
    OneVA Portal Pilot.--The Committee is aware of the 
Department of Veterans Affairs pilot program that will 
initially focus on the creation of a unified veteran-focused 
information architecture and site design, identity management, 
and single sign-on to the existing VA web systems. The OneVA 
Portal Pilot will provide an easy solution for Veterans to 
access information about their entitled benefits and to ensure 
that this solution has the capability to deliver these types of 
value added services in a secure manner by providing strong 
authentication of those Veterans using the OneVA Portal. The 
Committee supports the budget request for this pilot project.

                          PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

    The American Battle Monuments Commission [ABMC] is 
responsible for the following: the maintenance and construction 
of U.S. monuments and memorials commemorating the achievements 
in battle of our Armed Forces since April 1917 (the date of the 
United States entry into World War I); the erection of 
monuments and markers by U.S. citizens and organizations in 
foreign countries; and the design, construction, and 
maintenance of permanent military cemetery memorials in foreign 
countries. The Commission maintains 24 military memorial 
cemeteries and 31 monuments, memorials, and markers in 15 
countries around the world, including three memorials on U.S. 
soil. It is presently charged with erecting an Interpretive 
Center at the Normandy American Cemetery, Normandy, France.

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends $59,470,000 for the ``Salaries and 
expenses'' account. This amount is $14,870,000 above the fiscal 
year 2008 enacted level and $12,000,000 above the budget 
request. The additional funding will provide ABMC with the 
resources necessary to accelerate the Interpretive Center 
Program, address maintenance that was deferred in fiscal year 
2008, and initiate plans to stabilize the Pointe du Hoc 
Observation Bunker. The Committee directs the ABMC to submit a 
report to the Committees on Appropriations by February 28, 
2009, detailing maintenance and infrastructure requirements at 
all ABMC memorials.

Committee recommendation................................      17,100,000

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends an estimated $17,100,000 for the 
``Foreign currency fluctuation'' account. This amount is 
$6,100,000 above the fiscal year 2008 enacted level and equal 
to the budget request.
    The Committee commends the Commission's handling of the 
Foreign Currency Fluctuation Account. In the past, the 
Commission has accurately managed this account, but today's 
volatile global economy and weak dollar have made this process 
difficult at best. Any drastic swings in the world's currency 
exchange impact the Commission's ability to hire host nation 
maintenance support to maintain American cemeteries abroad. 
Unwilling to risk the Commission's ability to maintain those 
cemeteries to the highest of standards, the Committee has 
included language in the accompanying bill, as proposed by the 
administration, that would allow funding for this account on a 
``such sums as necessary'' basis. Funding this account in this 
manner will allow the Commission to maintain cemeteries 
regardless of the volatility of foreign currency fluctuations.

               U.S. Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims

                                OVERVIEW

    The U.S. Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims was 
established by the Veterans' Judicial Review Act of 1988. The 
Court is an independent judicial tribunal with exclusive 
jurisdiction to review decisions of the Board of Veterans' 
Appeals. It has the authority to decide all relevant questions 
of law; interpret constitutional, statutory, and regulatory 
provisions; and determine the meaning or applicability of the 
terms of an action by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs. It is 
authorized to compel action by the Secretary. It is authorized 
to hold unconstitutional or otherwise unlawful and set aside 
decisions, findings, conclusions, rules and regulations issued 
or adopted by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs, the Board of 
Veterans' Appeals, or the Chairman of the Board that are found 
to be arbitrary or capricious. The Court's principle office 
location is Washington, District of Columbia; however, it is a 
national court, empowered to sit anywhere in the United States.

         DISCLOSURE OF CONGRESSIONALLY DIRECTED SPENDING ITEMS

    The Constitution vests in the Congress the power of the 
purse. The Committee believes strongly that Congress should 
make the decisions on how to allocate the people's money.
    As defined in Rule XLIV of the Standing Rules of the 
Senate, the term ``congressional directed spending item'' means 
a provision or report language included primarily at the 
request of a Senator, providing, authorizing, or recommending a 
specific amount of discretionary budget authority, credit 
authority, or other spending authority for a contract, loan, 
loan guarantee, grant, loan authority, or other expenditure 
with or to an entity, or targeted to a specific State, locality 
or congressional district, other than through a statutory or 
administrative, formula-driven, or competitive award process.
    For each item, a Member is required to provide a 
certification that neither the Member nor the Senator's 
immediate family has a pecuniary interest in such 
congressionally directed spending item. Such certifications are 
available to the public on the website of the Senate Committee 
on Appropriations (www.appropriations.senate.gov/senators.cfm).
    Following is a list of congressionally directed spending 
items included in the Senate recommendation discussed in this 
report, along with the name of each Senator who submitted a 
request to the Committee of jurisdiction for each item so 
identified. Neither the Committee recommendation nor this 
report contains any limited tax benefits or limited tariff 
benefits as defined in rule XLIV.

                                                                             CONGRESSIONALLY DIRECTED SPENDING ITEMS
