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. 
5 

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 
6 

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 
7 

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 
9 

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 
10 

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 
11 

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 fis-
12 

cal 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 
15 

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 ac- count, 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 ac- count, 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 ac- count, the Committee directs that $1,314,000 be made available for

Defense provides for acquisition, construction, installation, and 

equipment of temporary or permanent public works, military installations, facilities, and real property Defense-Wide. This appro-
16 

priation 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 
17 

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.

2008 enacted level and equal to the budget request. 

CHEMICAL DEMILITARIZATION CONSTRUCTION, DEFENSE-WIDE

Appropriations, 2008 ............................................................................. $104,176,000 

Budget estimate, 2009 ........................................................................... 134,278,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 144,278,000 

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

This account provides funding for design and construction of fullscale chemical disposal facilities and associated projects to upgrade 

installation support facilities and infrastructure required to support the Chemical Demilitarization Program. This account was established starting in fiscal year 2005 to comply with section 141(b) 

of the fiscal 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 
27 

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.

1 Excluding $1,278,886,000 in emergency supplemental funding in Public Law 110–252. 

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 
28 

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.

TITLE II 

DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS 

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 from the Honorable 

James Peake, M.D., Secretary of the Department of Veterans Affairs, concerning the VA’s budget request for fiscal year 2009. 

Additionally, on May 1, 2008, the subcommittee held a joint 

hearing with the subcommittee on Transportation, Housing and 

Urban Development related to homeless veteran programs administered by the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Department 

of Housing and Urban Development. 

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 
39 

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 
40 

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 nonrecurring 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 dis-
41 

heartened 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. 

VETERANS BENEFITS ADMINISTRATION

Appropriations, 2008 ............................................................................. $44,642,822,000 

Budget estimate, 2009 ........................................................................... 46,155,162,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 46,901,162,000 

ADMINISTRATION OVERVIEW

The Veterans Benefits Administration [VBA] is responsible for 

the payment of compensation and pension benefits to eligible service-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 ex-
42 

penses; 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 
43 

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-ofliving 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. 

READJUSTMENT BENEFITS

Appropriations, 2008 ............................................................................. $3,300,289,000 

Budget estimate, 2009 ........................................................................... 3,086,944,000 

Committee recommendation 1 ............................................................... 3,832,944,000 

1 Includes $746,000,000 for increased educational benefits provided in Public Law 110–252. 

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

The ‘‘Readjustment benefits’’ appropriation finances the education and training of veterans and service members whose initial 

entry into active duty took place on or after July 1, 1985. These 

benefits are included in the All-Volunteer Force 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 fiscal year 

2008 enacted level and $746,000,000 above the budget request. 

VETERANS INSURANCE AND INDEMNITIES

Appropriations, 2008 ............................................................................. $41,250,000 

Budget estimate, 2009 ........................................................................... 42,300,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 42,300,000 
44 

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

The ‘‘Veterans insurance and indemnities’’ appropriation consists 

of the former appropriations for military and naval insurance, applicable to World War I veterans; National Service Life Insurance, 

applicable to certain World War II veterans; Servicemen’s indemnities, applicable to Korean conflict 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.

Committee recommendation ........................................................................................... 2,000,000 157,210,000 

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 speciallyadapted 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 serviceconnected 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

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. 

VETERANS HEALTH ADMINISTRATION

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 copayments; 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 re-
47 

search. 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 build-
48 

ings, 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. 

MEDICAL SERVICES

(INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

Appropriations, 2008 ............................................................................. $29,104,220,000 

Budget estimate, 2009 1 ......................................................................... 34,075,503,000 

Committee recommendation 1 ............................................................... 35,590,432,000 

1 Includes funding for Medical administration previously funded in a 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. 
49 

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 Depart-
50 

ment’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. 
51 

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 Im-
52 

pairment 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 Com-
53 

mittees 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. 
54 

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.

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. 
55 

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 vet-
57 

erans 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 followon 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 Oper-
58 

ation 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; longterm 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. 
59 

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

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 
60 

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, major projects’’; 

$729,418,000 for ‘‘Construction, minor projects’’; $250,000,000 for 

grants for ‘‘Construction of State extended care facilities’’; 

$42,000,000 for ‘‘Grants for the construction of State veterans 

cemeteries’’; and $2,471,166,000 for ‘‘Information technology systems’’.

1 Excludes $100,000,000 in emergency supplemental funding included in Public Law 110–252. 

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 num-
61 

ber 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, 
62 

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 

Budget estimate, 2009 ........................................................................... 581,582,000 

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. 
63 

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.

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. 
64 

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, archi-
65 

tectural 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. 
66 

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 
67 

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 

Budget estimate, 2009 ........................................................................... 2,442,066,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 2,471,166,000 

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 
68 

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 
69 

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 thresh-
70 

old 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.

RELATED AGENCIES 

AMERICAN BATTLE MONUMENTS COMMISSION

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.

Budget estimate, 2009 ........................................................................... 17,100,000 

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. 
74 

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.

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.
