BACKGROUND

PURPOSE OF THE BILL

This bill makes appropriations for the military functions of the

Department of Defense for the period October 1, 2003, through

September 30, 2004. Functional areas include the pay, allowances,

and support of military personnel, operation and maintenance of

the forces, procurement of equipment and systems, and research,

development, test, and evaluation. Appropriations for foreign military assistance, military construction, family housing, nuclear

weapons programs, and civil defense are provided in other bills.

HEARINGS

The Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense began hearings on

March 19, 2003, and concluded them on May 15, 2003, after nine

separate sessions. The subcommittee heard testimony from representatives of the Department of Defense, other Federal agencies,

representatives of organizations, and the public.

SUMMARY OF THE BILL

The Committee considered a total fiscal year 2004 budget estimate of $372,273,314,000 in new obligational authority for the military functions of the Department of Defense. The reestimated

budget is $57,796,141,000 below fiscal year 2003 enacted levels including supplementals.

The Committee recommendation of $369,148,293,000 pays for the

on-going programs of the Department of Defense and to transform

CLASSIFIED PROGRAM ADJUSTMENTS

The Committee recommends adjustments to certain classified

programs, as explained in the classified annex to the Committee’s

report.

COMMITTEE ALLOCATIONS

The Appropriations Committee conformed fully to the budget estimates for defense spending in the Committee’s allocation. This allocation divided the budget authority and outlays among the subcommittees with jurisdiction over discretionary spending. In this

recommended bill, the Appropriations Committee has remained

within the constraints of its allocation for defense.

TIMELINESS OF BUDGET JUSTIFICATION MATERIALS

By law, the President is required to submit a budget estimate to

the Congress not later than the first Monday in February of each

year. This budget ‘‘shall include a budget message and summary

and supporting information’’ (31 U.S.C. 1105).

The budget volumes compiled by the Office of Management and

Budget are presented in time to meet the statutory deadline. However, the substantive, programmatic, detailed budget justification

materials—supporting information—from the Department of Defense all too often are presented weeks or months later.

This year, the Committee was still receiving budget justification

materials in June. The practice of delivering budget justification

documents months after the statutory deadline seriously impedes

the Committee’s ability to do its work.

The Committee expects this problem to be resolved with presentation of the fiscal year 2005 budget estimate. While the Committee does not expect every DOD budget justification document to
6

be presented concurrent with delivery of the President’s fiscal year

2005 budget estimate on February 2, 2004, significant improvement in the timeliness of budget justification materials can and

must be made.

The Committee directs the Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller) to develop and then implement a plan to achieve this goal.

At a minimum, the Committee directs that all fiscal year 2005

budget justification materials are to be received not later than

March 8, 2004, or five weeks after the budget presentation.

Further, the Committee directs the Under Secretary of Defense

(Comptroller) to report in writing to the congressional defense committees on the detailed status of the submission of budget justification materials. This report is to be submitted February 2, 2004,

and weekly thereafter until all budget justification materials have

been received by the Congress.

TITLE I

MILITARY PERSONNEL

Funds appropriated under this title provide the resources required for basic pay, retired pay accrual, Medicare eligible retiree

health care accrual, employer’s contribution for Social Security

taxes, basic allowance for housing, basic allowance for subsistence,

special and incentive pays, permanent change of station travel, and

other personnel costs for uniformed members of the Armed Forces.

The President’s fiscal year 2004 budget requests a total of

$98,944,265,000 for military personnel appropriations. This request

funds an Active component end strength of 1,388,100 and a Reserve component end strength of 863,300.

SUMMARY OF COMMITTEE ACTION

The Committee recommends military personnel appropriations

totaling $98,939,987,000 for fiscal year 2004. This is $4,278,000

below the budget estimate.

The Committee recommends funding an Active component end

strength of 1,388,100 for fiscal year 2004, the same as the budget

estimate. The Committee recommends funding a Reserve component end strength of 863,330 for fiscal year 2004, an increase of 30

above the budget estimate.

Committee recommended military personnel appropriations for

fiscal year 2004 are summarized below:

MILITARY PERSONNEL OVERVIEW

The Committee notes that the fiscal year 2004 budget estimate

represents a significant increase in the military personnel accounts. The fiscal year 2004 military personnel budget estimate is

$4,696,407,000 above the fiscal year 2003 estimate. Major initiatives include:

Consolidation of the Military Personnel Accounts.—The budget

estimate seeks to consolidate the National Guard and Reserve military personnel appropriations with their respective active duty appropriation. The Committee is opposed to the consolidation of the

appropriation accounts as requested, but supports consolidating

budget activities within the individual National Guard and Reserve

appropriations. The use of a single budget activity will provide

greater flexibility for the Guard and Reserve commanders in executing their missions, without diluting congressional oversight.

The Committee recommends realigning the budget estimate as

follows:

[In thousands of dollars]

Active Reserve National Guard Net change

Army .............................................................................. ¥9,097,944 ∂3,583,625 ∂5,514,319 ........................

Navy .............................................................................. ¥2,028,153 ∂2,028,153 ........................ ........................

Marine Corps ................................................................ ¥587,444 ∂587,444 ........................ ........................

Air Force ........................................................................ ¥3,554,986 ∂1,331,888 ∂2,223,098 ........................

Targeted Pay Raise.—The budget estimate provides for a 4.1 percent average increase in the basic pay for military personnel, with

the minimum pay raise for junior personnel of 2 percent and a targeted pay raise of up to 6.25 percent for mid-career officers and

senior noncommissioned officers. The Committee supports an average pay raise of 4.15 percent with a minimum pay raise of 3.7 percent as authorized in the Senate passed version of the fiscal year

2004 National Defense Authorization bill. The Committee provides

$31,952,000 above the budget estimate to fund the increased pay

tables authorized by the Senate.

Reduced Out-of-Pocket Housing Costs.—The budget estimate includes funds to continue the effort to increase Basic Allowance for

Housing rates, and to reduce servicemember’s average out-of-pocket

housing expense from the current 7.5 percent to 3.5 percent in fiscal year 2004. This increase in Basic Allowance for Housing funding is consistent with the Department’s goal to eliminate the average out-of-pocket expense completely by fiscal year 2005.

Active Component End Strength.—The Committee supports the

President’s budget request for a decrease of 1,900 to Navy active

end strength, and an increase of 300 to Air Force active end

strength.
10

FAMILY SEPARATION ALLOWANCE AND IMMINENT DANGER PAY

The Committee supports the permanent increase of Family Separation Allowance from $100 per month to $250 per month and Imminent Danger Pay from $150 per month to $225 per month as authorized in the Senate passed version of the fiscal year 2004 Defense Authorization bill. The Committee provides an additional

$210,205,000 to fund the increased benefit.

CONCURRENT RECEIPT FOR RETIRED MILITARY PERSONNEL

At the time of the Committee’s mark up of the fiscal year 2004

defense bill, the Senate authorized full concurrent receipt for military retirees who were disabled as a result of military service,

which will enable them to receive both their full retired pay and

their full veterans disability compensation beginning in fiscal year

2004. The House recommended no similar provision.

The Committee endorses the benefit, but is deferring action on

the issue since it is unclear at this time whether concurrent receipt

will become law and what form the benefit will take. If the program is ultimately authorized, the Department will be required to

fund the benefit within existing resources or request supplemental

appropriations.

The Committee recommends an appropriation of $28,282,764,000.

This is $9,103,616,000 below the budget estimate. This reflects the

transfer of Reserve Personnel, Army and National Guard Personnel, Army funding to individual appropriation accounts.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OVERVIEW

SOUTHWEST ASIA CONTINGENCY OPERATIONS

The fiscal year 2004 budget estimate included funds for a number of ongoing contingencies, including operations in Southwest

Asia, Bosnia, and Kosovo. Southwest Asia contingencies include

Operations Northern Watch (enforcement of the no-fly zone above

the 36th parallel in Iraq), Southern Watch (actions to counter potential aggression by Iraq and enforcement of the no-fly zone below

the 32nd parallel in Iraq), and Desert Spring (ground operations,

training and maintenance in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia).

At the start of Operation Iraqi Freedom, the Department of Defense officially ended Operations Northern Watch, Southern Watch,

and Desert Spring. Accordingly, the funds for these concluded operations are no longer required for the purposes requested. The Committee recommends a reduction of $1,375,020,000 to the budget estimate, distributed as follows:

WORKING CAPITAL FUND EXCESS CASH BALANCES

The Committee has identified excess cash balances in the Defense Working Capital Funds, significantly more than the requirement to have between 7 to 10 days cash on hand. The Committee

recommends a reduction of $313,500,000 to the budget estimate,

distributed as follows:

UNOBLIGATED BALANCES

The Committee has identified significant and persistent under

obligation of funds available in the operation and maintenance accounts. Working with the General Accounting Office, the Committee found that during the 5-year period fiscal year 1998 to fiscal
28

year 2002, a total of more than $3,100,000,000 was left unobligated

in the service’s active operation and maintenance accounts. On average, this is almost $630,000,000 per fiscal year that is not used

to fund important readiness, maintenance or training activities.

Unobligated balances are also an issue in the military personnel

accounts.

The Committee recommends a reduction of $94,500,000 to the

budget estimate, distributed as follows:

[In thousands of dollars]

Operation and Maintenance, Army .................................................................................................................. ¥21,300

Operation and Maintenance, Air Force ............................................................................................................ ¥17,600

Total adjustments ............................................................................................................................... ¥94,500

The Committee wants to identify and implement a solution to

this problem and end the practice of wasting available fiscal resources. To that goal, the Committee directs the Assistant Secretaries of the Military Departments (Financial Management &

Comptroller) to jointly prepare a report to the Committee that details the issue of unobligated balances in military personnel and

operation and maintenance accounts, and proposes a comprehensive course of action to reduce the amount of unobligated balances

in those accounts by two-thirds. This report is to be submitted to

the Committee before presentation of the fiscal year 2005 budget

estimate.

CIVILIAN PAY OVERSTATEMENT

The Committee has identified consistent overstatement in requirements for civilian pay salaries in the Army and Air Force. The

Committee recommends a reduction of $25,550,000 to the budget

estimate, distributed as follows:

Realignment of Base Operations Support [BOS] and Facilities

Sustainment, Restoration and Modernization [FSRM] Resources.—

The Committee notes that on October 1, 2002 the Army established

the Installation Management Agency [IMA] to provide a corporate

structure focused on installation management. According to the

Army, IMA’s mission is ‘‘to provide equitable, effective and efficient

management of Army installations worldwide’’ as a key component

of Army transformation. This represents a significant change in the

way the Army resources, manages and operates its worldwide facilities. Starting in fiscal year 2004, IMA will be the single claimant and advocate for Army BOS and FSRM resources, a role that

was previously performed by the Army’s Major Commands.

The Army acknowledges that years of underfunding installations

has, in the Army’s words, ‘‘taken a toll.’’ Among the Army’s stated

goals in establishing IMA are achieving regional efficiencies, providing consistent and equitable services, and eliminating the migration of installation support dollars to operations tempo or readiness requirements.

To support the goal of eliminating the migration of resources

budgeted for installations support, the Committee recommends re-
32

aligning $6,799,556,000 of Army BOS and FSRM resources into a

new budget activity, as detailed in the table above.

Before this realignment, the Army’s BOS and FSRM funding was

distributed throughout the budget estimate in ten different lines.

The Committee’s recommended realignment of funding will allow

for more careful management of installation resources and better

oversight.

Servicemembers Benefit Analysis Online (SMBAOnline).—The

Committee is aware of the difficulty servicemembers experience in

fully understanding and integrating the numerous benefits available to them and their families. The need to assimilate this comprehensive information is key in deployment preparations, making

reenlistment decisions, performing financial planning and at many

other critical career decision points. In addition, survivor’s assistance personnel need accurate and timely information to assist the

families of deceased service members promptly.

The Committee is aware of a unique automated system that provides a personalized, integrated projection of the stream of government survivor benefits, and that includes future changes to the entitlement amounts through the family’s lifetime. This system has

been in operation for a number of years, and has been used very

successfully in many emergencies, including after the 9/11 attacks.

The Committee recommends $4,000,000 for a pilot program to

implement and evaluate this unique benefits analysis system. The

Committee directs the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Force Management Policy) to report on the implementation and benefits of

this pilot program, and submit this report to the congressional defense committees before presentation of the fiscal year 2005 budget

estimate.

Tanana Flats Training Area Cleanup Program.—The Committee

is aware that the Army has made significant progress in removing

unauthorized structures from the Tanana Flats Training Area. The

Committee endorses a program to designate several of the remaining structures to be used as emergency shelters. These shelters

would be administered by the Bureau of Land Management consistent with their overall land management plan. The Committee

recommends $500,000 to modify these designated structures in

order to achieve compliance with Federal and State laws.

DOD Biometrics Program.—The Committee urges the DOD Biometrics Program to offer assistance to and coordinate its efforts

with the Department of Homeland Security and other Federal

agencies. The Committee encourages the Department of Homeland

Security to establish a biometrics office to coordinate their biometrics efforts and to interface with the DOD Biometrics Program.

Further, the Committee directs that of the $7,003,000 requested in

the budget for the DOD Biometrics Program, $500,000 shall be

made available for project management services.

Pohakuloa Training Area.—The Committee believes that adequate training areas are critical to the combat readiness of military

forces. The purchase of up to 23,000 acres of land adjacent to the

Pohakuloa Training Area will expand the available maneuver

training space to meet the increased demand of the current and

projected forces which use that facility. For this reason, the Com-
33

mittee urges the Department of the Army to purchase the land necessary for this additional maneuver space.

Former Lowry Bombing and Gunnery Range.—The Committee is

aware of the environmental cleanup required at the former Lowry

Bombing and Gunnery Range, and recognizes the importance of

completing the cleanup and containment to protect the health and

safety of those who use the public reservoir, attend the public

schools, and plan to reside in the area. The Committee encourages

the Army to continue to recognize important private efforts being

undertaken at the site, and urges both the Army and the Army

Corps of Engineers to provide sufficient resources for the rapid

cleanup of the site.

Realignment of Base Operations Support [BOS] and Facilities

Sustainment, Restoration and Modernization [FSRM] Resources.— The Committee notes that in October, 2003 the Navy will establish

Commander, Navy Installations Command [NIC] to provide a single responsible office and advocate for shore installation management. According to the Navy, NIC’s mission is ‘‘to provide unified

procedures, standards and practices for efficient management of installation support.’’ This represents a significant change in the way

the Navy resources, manages and operates its worldwide facilities.
36

Starting in fiscal year 2004, NIC will be the single claimant and

advocate for Navy BOS and FSRM resources, a role that was previously performed by the Navy’s major claimants and commands.

Among the Navy’s stated goals in establishing NIC are achieving

savings in personnel, facilities, and operational costs, eliminating

redundant headquarters management functions and costs, and simplifying budgeting and funding processes. Implicit in these goals is

eliminating the migration of installation support dollars to operations tempo or readiness requirements.

To support the goal of eliminating the migration of resources

budgeted for installations support, the Committee recommends realigning $4,615,879,000 of Navy BOS and FSRM resources into a

new budget activity, as detailed in the table above.

Before this realignment, the Navy’s BOS and FSRM funding was

distributed throughout the budget estimate in six different lines.

The Committee’s recommended realignment of funding will allow

for more careful management of installation resources and better

oversight.

Naval Shipyard Apprentice Program.—The Committee has included $28,880,000 for the Naval Shipyard Apprentice Program,

and directs that during fiscal year 2004 the Navy shall induct

classes of no fewer than 125 apprentices at each of the naval shipyards. Further, the Committee directs the Department of the Navy

to include the costs of the fiscal year 2005 class of apprentices in

the fiscal year 2005 budget estimate.

Northern Edge Realignment of Funds.—The Alaskan range complex and training environment provide DOD with a unique opportunity to conduct joint exercises in both high intensity conflict and

homeland security scenarios. In recognition of these unique capabilities and to best support the diverse training required by the

Unified Command Plan, the Committee directs that CJCS Exercise

Northern Edge continue on an annual basis. Proponency for this

exercise will alternate between USPACOM and USNORTHCOM on

successive years, with planning and execution managed continuously by HQ ALCOM. On alternating years, USPACOM and

USNORTHCOM will provide CJCS Exercise Strategic Lift funding

support from their respective accounts.

In support of these objectives and to execute Exercise Northern

Edge 2004, the Committee recommends a realignment of funds

from O&M, Army ($2,000,000) and O&M, Air Force ($800,000) to

O&M, Navy ($2,800,000). After this realignment, a total of

$4,700,000 is available in O&M, Navy to support Exercise Northern Edge. For fiscal year 2005 and subsequent years, the Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to provide funds in a similar fashion.

Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command.—The Committee recommends a realignment of $33,036,000 from O&M, Army to O&M,

Navy to support the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command [JPAC].

This reflects and supports the October 1, 2003 consolidation of the

Army’s Central Identification Laboratory, Hawaii [CIL–HI] and

Joint Task Force Full Accounting [JTF–FA] into a single, joint organization under the U.S. Pacific Command. The Committee fully

supports the critical and honorable work of the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command.
37

Sullivan Brothers Museum.—The Committee recognizes the important contribution the Sullivan Brothers Museum and Research

Center would make to military history and public education. The

Committee requests the Secretary of the Navy extend all possible

assistance to the Grout Museum in building the museum, collecting

artifacts, and developing exhibits on the Sullivan Brothers and the

World War II U.S. Navy.

Security Standards for Life Raft Service and Maintenance.—The

Committee is concerned that the lack of adequate security practices

during the service and maintenance of life rafts aboard Navy vessels could present security risks. Current procedures allow nonmilitary personnel, without any security background clearances, to

board a vessel several times when servicing life rafts. Additionally,

the time required to remove, transport, service, and return the life

rafts to a vessel could adversely impact a ship’s readiness. The

Committee directs the Secretary of the Navy to submit a report on

the cost, force protection, and readiness issues associated with the

service and maintenance of life rafts on Navy vessels. The report

should include consideration of establishing a life raft change-out

program, similar to those used by major commercial shipping lines.

The report should also consider requiring life raft service and

maintenance facilities to file security plans and conduct employee

background checks. This report is to be submitted to the congressional defense committees before presentation of the fiscal year

2005 budget estimate.

V–22 Osprey Tilt-Rotor Pilot Training.—The Committee is aware

of the Department of Defense’s recently completed and favorable

review of the V–22 Osprey program. Preparing future V–22 pilots

for the unique challenges of tilt-rotor flight is an essential component of a successful V–22 program. The Committee recognizes the

importance of providing student pilots with realistic flight training

to safely and effectively operate this new aircraft, to include undergraduate and advanced pilot training in the same type/model/series

aircraft that pilots will operate in the fleet.

The Committee understands that the Department of the Navy

has completed a study addressing tilt-rotor pilot training requirements, and believes that implementing this study’s findings will

ensure the quality and safety of training, reduce overall costs, and

provide satisfactory pilot throughput. To enhance savings, the program should be conducted at an existing unencumbered Naval

training site in a central, strategic location with regard to operations tempo, un-encroached airfields, available outlying airfields,

and sufficient family and personnel housing.

The Committee directs the Secretary of the Navy to submit a tiltrotor pilot training roadmap that implements the study’s findings.

This report is to be submitted to the congressional defense committees before presentation of the fiscal year 2005 budget estimate.

Transportation Working Capital Fund.—The Committee recommends a reduction of $200,000,000 to reduce cash balances in

the Transportation Working Capital Fund [TWCF] that are greatly

in excess of requirements. In addition, the Committee recommends

a reduction of $110,006,000 to reflect overstated baselines in the

Airlift Readiness Account, as documented by the Air Force’s request to reprogram fiscal year 2003 resources out of this account

after seeking significant supplemental operation and maintenance

funding for Operation Iraqi Freedom.

U.S. Special Operations Command.—The Committee understands and fully supports the increased operational tempo, broadened mission and readiness requirements placed on Special Operations Forces as they prosecute the Global War on Terrorism. The

Committee recommends an additional $38,872,000 for priority requirements of the U.S. Special Operations Command.

Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve.—The Committee

recommends an additional $2,000,000 for the important work of the

National Committee for Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve.

Washington Semester American Indian Program.—The Committee notes with approval the participation of the Department of

Defense in the Washington Semester American Indian Program

[WINS], which serves the education and economic development

needs of the American Indian/Alaska Native [AI/AN] community by

providing opportunities for students to obtain academically supervised internships in Washington, DC. The WINS program advances

the goals of Executive Order 13270, which directs that all Federal

agencies take steps to enhance access to Federal opportunities and

resources for AI/AN students. The Committee encourages the Department of Defense, as part of its 3-year plan pursuant to Executive Order 13270, to expand the number of internship positions

made available for the program and to accommodate participants

in a second-year internship program.

Accident Prevention in DOD.—The Committee commends the

Secretary of Defense’s initiative to ‘‘reduce the number of mishaps

and accident rates by at least 50 percent in the next 2 years.’’ The

Committee is pleased that the U.S. Army Forces Command’s initiative to combat aggressive driving has achieved similar success in

preventing vehicle accidents, and urges the Secretary of Defense to

consider existing programs that have demonstrated success in reducing accident rates at one or more commands.
44

Legacy Resources Management Program.—The Committee commends the Department of Defense for requesting funds to continue

the Legacy Resources Management Program. From within these

funds, the Committee encourages the Department to continue

naval archaeology programs in the Lake Champlain Basin.

This is $40,000,000 below the budget estimate.

The Committee notes that funding for ongoing contingencies is

now included in regular appropriation accounts. In addition, according to the Department’s justification materials for this account,

‘‘USSOCOM bears a substantial portion of the unanticipated costs

of unforeseen contingency operations.’’ The Department has requested significant increases to U.S. Special Operations Command

funding, and the Committee finds that adequate to provide for unforeseen contingencies. Finally, requirements for substantial contingency funding should be addressed in a request for supplemental

appropriations or through reprogramming procedures.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

The Committee has displayed recommended adjustments in tables presented under each appropriation account.

These adjustments reflect the following Committee actions: elimination of funds requested for programs which are lower priority,

duplicative, or not supported by firm requirements in out year development or procurement appropriations; deletion of excess funds
53

based on program delays or slow execution; addition of funds to reflect congressional priorities and to rectify shortfalls in the budget

estimate; and implementation of recommendations reported in the

Senate bill authorizing activities of the Department of Defense for

fiscal year 2004.

The Committee directs that the funding increases outlined in

these tables shall be provided only for the specific purposes indicated in the table.

PROCUREMENT OVERVIEW

Multiyear Procurement Authority.—The purpose of multiyear procurement authority is to allow Federal agencies to enter into a single contract for the purchase of more than one year’s worth of supplies and services where such a contract will result in substantial

savings over annual contracts. This authority is intended exclusively for programs demonstrating stability of cost, requirements,

design and maturity of schedule. However, recent requests from

the Department exploit the necessary limits placed upon this authority. It is evident that multiyear contract authority is now being

used as a tool for controlling costs and as a means for securing

funding for programs in future years. The Committee is concerned

about this trend and directs the Secretary of Defense to submit a

policy statement on the Department of Defense’s use of multiyear

contract authority to the congressional defense committees by January 15, 2004. The statement should explicitly describe the conditions that must be achieved for such a request and the methodology used for determining a program’s compliance with the requirements set forth in 10 U.S.C. Sec. 2306b and DOD Financial

Management Regulations.

Combat Search Evader Locator Radio.—The Committee understands that the Air Force is in the process of requesting a change

to the Joint Operational Requirements Document to add a terminal

guidance capability as a Key Performance Parameter threshold requirement to the Combat Search Evader Locator [CSEL] radio. The

Block 1 CSEL, which is currently in low-rate initial production, but

does not include this terminal guidance capability, is being procured by the Air Force, Navy and the Army. The Committee is concerned that the services are currently procuring a radio that does

not fully meet their needs and, therefore, recommends a reduction

of $11,500,000 to the entire fiscal year 2004 CSEL procurement request and directs that the full-rate production decision on the Block

2 variant of this radio not be approved until the terminal guidance

capability can be achieved as a threshold requirement.

UH–60 Blackhawk [MYP].—The Committee recommends an increase of $70,700,000 for the procurement of seven additional

Blackhawk helicopters.

Congressional support for the UH–60 Blackhawk program has allowed the Army to accelerate planned procurement and appreciate

savings from obtaining aircraft at option prices. The Army estimates this savings to equal $28,100,000 over 3 years. The Committee recommends a reduction of $20,000,000 based on total program savings, and a reduction of $2,000,000 for unjustified program administration costs.

Longbow Apache Modifications.—The budget request included

$55,400,000 for Other Support costs, an increase of $26,600,000

above the fiscal year 2003 level. During the Committee’s review of

the request, the Army failed to adequately justify these costs. The

Committee recommends a decrease of $10,000,000.

UH–60 Modifications.—The budget request included

$136,500,000 for the UH–60M recapitalization and upgrade program. The program must be restructured due to contractor cost

growth, inaccurate earned value reporting, and changes to aircraft

design. The Committee recommends a transfer of $100,000,000 requested for procurement to research and development to allow for

the restructuring of the program.

Stryker Fielding.—The Army continues to demonstrate the

versatility of the Stryker Brigade Combat Teams [SBCT]. The

Stryker Brigade takes advantage of a whole new strategic focus.

This dynamic strategy is more than the exploitation of a transformed family of vehicles, it is an evolution in the way soldiers

fight on the battlefield and provides the country with options previously unavailable. The modern, lethal Stryker Brigade will focus

on increased operational and tactical mobility, enhanced situational

awareness and understanding, and the ability to maximize joint

warfighting unlike any other force. The Committee understands

that the full SBCT family of vehicles procurement can be accelerated if the Army procures certain critical components that require

longer production times with long lead funding in fiscal year 2004.

These items are necessary to ensure that the Mobile Gun System

[MGS] remains on schedule and is deployed beginning with the 3rd

SBCT, rather than an alternative system. Therefore, the Committee has included an increase of $35,000,000 only to procure long

lead items for Stryker Brigades. The Committee includes this

money with the understanding that the Secretary of Defense supports, and will continue to support, this critical modernization program. The interim capability provided by the Stryker is more than

a bridge to the Objective Force, it is a critical link and will validate

the training, tactics, and procedures necessary to demonstrate and

perfect the strategies which will transform today’s Army into a

modern, more lethal objective force. Additionally, the Committee

has included an increase of $100,000,000 in Other Procurement,

Army to assist in fielding the SBCTs.
65

Current Force Modernization.—The Committee notes with great

interest the recent negotiations undertaken by the Department of

the Army to address the future of the heavy force industrial base.

In fact, the Committee applauds the Army’s recently negotiated

memorandum of understanding which effectively guaranteed

workshare for two major manufacturing bases well into the future,

so that the Future Combat System decision, expected to be reached

by 2008, will not fall victim to a lack of manufacturers from which

to choose.

In the interest of building on that strategy, and in modernizing

the Army’s current force, the Committee strongly encourages the

Army to restructure its future budget submissions to Congress so

that they contain adequate resources to fund the Current Force

and provide the Counterattack Corps with the most modern weapon systems available.

upgrades at Pine Bluff Arsenal. This funding alleviates the need to

finance this modernization effort from within the Army Working

Capital Fund and eliminates the requirement to increase rates at

this ammunition facility to recoup these costs.

Conventional Ammunition Demilitarization of Tactical Missiles.—The Committee recommends an increase of $6,000,000 for

Conventional Ammunition Demilitarization of Tactical Missiles to

complete the organic Anniston Munitions Center missile recycling

capabilities.

FMTV.—The fiscal year 2004 President’s budget request includes

$309,810,000. This budget submission assumes a 12 percent cost

savings to the FMTV program as a result of the most recent competitive award. The Committee commends the Army acquisition

strategy that sought to provide the most reliable, safe, cost effective

tactical vehicle to replace the Army’s aging fleet of trucks. Further,

the Army’s acquisition strategy was so successful that it facilitated

a winning bid that achieves greater savings than anticipated when

the fiscal year 2004 budget submission was delivered to Congress.

The Committee estimates this additional savings to be approximately $50,000,000 based on data provided to the Committee by

the Army. Therefore, the Committee directs that these savings be

applied only to purchases of additional FMTVs under the more

competitive option pricing level.

Trident D–5.—The President’s budget requests $675,209,000 for

the Trident II program. This request includes $137,432,000 for the

assembly of 12 new missiles and $537,777,000 for a life extension

program and support costs. To more accurately account for the

costs of the program, last year the Committee transferred the

funds requested for the life extension program and support costs to

a newly created ‘‘Trident II Mods’’ line. To the Committee’s disappointment the Navy did not follow this model for its fiscal year

2004 request. The Committee feels strongly about creating an appropriate level of visibility into the program and directs the Navy

to request funding for the Trident II program in this fashion in the

future. The Navy’s request for program support costs and the life

extension program represent a $121,347,000 increase over last

year’s request. Approximately half of this increase is for the redesign of guidance and electronics systems for missiles that will enter

production in fiscal year 2008. The Navy has also requested

$44,200,000 of research and development funding for new guidance

and electronics systems. The Committee is concerned that the

Navy’s request is both premature and duplicative, and recommends

a reduction of $75,000,000 to the budget request.

Tactical Tomahawk.—The President’s budget requests

$50,000,000 to support an economic order quantity buy in conjunction with multiyear procurement authority. The Committee is

pleased with the capabilities the Tactical Tomahawk missile offers

but finds that it is premature to grant multiyear procurement au-
87

thority to the program at this time. Thus, the Committee recommends that the $50,000,000 requested for the economic order

quantity buy be used to increase the quantity of missiles purchased. The Committee encourages the Navy to request multiyear

contracting authority for the program after unit costs are more stable and the missile has successfully passed all required testing.

Virginia Class Submarine.—The President’s budget requests

funding and authority to enter into a multiyear procurement contract for seven Virginia [VA] Class submarines. In hopes of achieving cost savings for the VA Class, the Committee recommends

granting multiyear procurement authority for five vessels, as it is

premature to commit the Navy to procuring more than one submarine per year at this time.

However, the Committee is disappointed by the Department’s recent accounting for the costs of the program. The Department reports that the projected cost of the VA Class has increased by 24

percent. This figure assumes the Navy will achieve 7 percent cost

savings by shifting the current contractual arrangement to a

multiyear. Program cost growth is properly measured against a

fixed baseline. Therefore, methodologically, it is inappropriate for

the Navy to subtract the potential 7 percent savings from a proposed multiyear contract arrangement as a means of obscuring the

actual 31 percent cost growth for the program. The Committee

notes that by using anticipated future year savings as an offset for
93

cost growth, the Department has clearly evaded the legal NunnMcCurdy breach requirement for the VA Class program.

Furthermore, the Navy has withheld financial information and has been unable to justify its request for $1,016,172,000 in advance

procurement for the program; thus, the Committee recommends a

reduction of $59,000,000 to the request. An additional reduction of

$130,000,000 is recommended as a result of the Committee’s revision to the multiyear authority request. The Committee directs the

Navy to appropriately account for and justify all program costs and

requests for funding in the future.

Cruiser Conversion.—Public Law 107–117 provided $75,000,000

for the purpose of initiating a program for conversion and modernization of 27 Ticonderoga class AEGIS Cruisers. Two years after

the provision of these funds, the Navy has requested funding for

conversion of the first ship. The Committee is encouraged by the

Navy’s request to begin the program, but believes the proposed acquisition and funding strategies are inadequate. The intent of the

program is to increase the service life of the AEGIS Cruisers and

to upgrade and modernize their combat capabilities; however, the

Navy has chosen the CG 71, one of the newest and most modern

Cruisers as the first ship of the program. CG 71 is already configured with three of the key capabilities Cruiser Conversion promises

to offer, Area Air Defense Capability, Cooperative Engagement Capability and Smartship. Further, the cost estimates for the program are questionable as production rates differ regionally and the

Navy has yet to determine where the conversion work will be done.

Finally, unlike other ship conversion or ‘‘life extension’’ programs,

the Navy has requested funding 2 years prior to the start of the

ship’s availability. The Committee is supportive of the Cruiser Conversion program, but until the Navy can demonstrate a sound acquisition and funding strategy, the Committee recommends delaying the Cruiser Conversion program.

SSN ERO Program.—The Committee is concerned about the instability in the Navy’s Submarine Refueling Overhaul program.

The fiscal year 2003 budget requested advance procurement funding for two submarines that were planned for the subsequent year’s

program. However, apparently due to affordability issues, the Navy

chose rather to decommission one ship and delay the refueling of

the other. The Committee is sensitive to budgetary constraints, but

is apprehensive about decommissioning a ship that could be refueled, upgraded and returned to operations for approximately

$250,000,000. The Committee recommends restoring funding for

the vessel planned for inactivation and adds an additional

$202,000,000 for the refueling of SSN 707.

SSBN ERO Funding.—In order to more accurately account for

the funds requested and provided for submarine refueling overhauls, the Committee recommends separate funding for SSN and

SSBN submarines. The Committee has created new budget lines

for SSBN full funding and advance procurement and directs the

Navy to follow this configuration in the future.

LPD–17.—The Committee is disappointed by the Department’s

revised acquisition strategy for the LPD–17 program. The new

strategy which calls for a 1–1–0–2–1–1–1 construction profile from

fiscal year 2003–09 creates instability in the program and the in-
94

dustrial base. In order to facilitate the procurement of an LPD in

fiscal year 2005, the Committee recommends $75,000,000 in advance procurement funding for materials for LPD 23. Further, the

Committee directs the Secretary of the Navy and the Secretary of

Defense to fully fund the remainder of LPD 23 in the fiscal year

2005 budget.

Ship Insulating Materials.—The Committee is concerned that the

Navy is considering an alternative material for ship insulation that

may have safety issues. Therefore, the Committee directs the Secretary of the Navy to submit a report to the congressional defense

committees by December 31, 2003, describing any findings of the

Naval Environmental Health Center [NEHC] regarding the short

and long term effects of exposure to this material compared to the

materials currently in use.

SATCOM Equipment Procurement.—The Committee is concerned

about the rate of program growth in the procurement of various

satellite communications equipment in fiscal year 2004, a 95 percent increase over the amount requested in fiscal year 2003. This

growth is particularly questionable given the historic usage of this

line as a source for below threshold reprogrammings. The Committee recommends a reduction of $85,000,000 which is still a 31

percent increase over fiscal year 2003. While the Committee remains supportive of this program, it urges the Department of the

Navy to better budget for these equipment purchases over the Future Year Defense Plan.

Physical Security Equipment.—The Committee is concerned

about reported changes in the way the Navy may execute programs

under the Physical Security Equipment line in the Other Procurement, Navy account. These changes could delay the procurement

and installation of this important equipment. The Committee,

therefore, directs the Navy to submit a report to the congressional

defense committees not later than 60 days after the enactment of

this Act that details these changes and how, and by what organization, this equipment will be procured.

F/A–22.—The budget request included $3,727,093,000 for the

procurement of 22 F/A–22 aircraft. The Committee recommends

procurement of 22 F/A–22 Raptor aircraft, equal to the quantity

sought in the budget request, and recommends a decrease of

$161,000,000. The Committee is encouraged by the reduced vendor

costs that enabled the program to procure an additional Lot 3 aircraft. Stability in the vendor supply base and manufacturing efficiencies should help the Air Force and the contractor to control

costs, and achieve additional savings during fiscal year 2004.

CAMAA Initiative.—The Committee recognizes the potential military and commercial value of expanding the Civil Reserve Air Fleet

with outsize cargo capacity, and encourages the Air Force to explore ways to accelerate the Commercial Application of Military

Airlift Aircraft [CAMAA] initiative. Accordingly, the Committee directs the Secretary of the Air Force to provide a detailed CAMAA

implementation plan to the Defense Subcommittee prior to June 1,

2004.

C–17.—In response to congressional direction, the Air Force has

restructured the procurement profile for the C–17. The Committee

recommends a realignment of $98,000,000 from fiscal year 2004

[AP] to fiscal year 2004 MYP.

B–2A.—During the Committee’s review of the budget request, the

Air Force was unable to correlate cost and activity for interim contractor support. The Committee recommends a decrease of

$5,000,000.

C–130E/H.—The Committee recommends an additional

$3,100,000 only for procurement of the four APN–241 radars for

the Nevada Air National Guard.

KC–135.—The Committee recommends an additional $10,000,000

for Global Air Traffic Management upgrades for KC–135R aircraft.

The budget request included funding for engine replacements for

KC–135E aircraft scheduled for retirement by fiscal year 2008. Following installation of any new engines, these aircraft would be

available for less than 2 years. Therefore, the Committee recommends a decrease of $70,000,000.

SENIOR SCOUT.—The Committee recommends an increase of

$6,000,000 above the funds sought in the budget request for the

equipment modernization of the SENIOR SCOUT program. Of

these funds, $3,000,000 is only for the system’s Radio Frequency/

Directional Finder Search and collection capability.

Aircraft Beddown Plan.—After giving due study to the Air Force

beddown plan for all aircraft, the Committee is not satisfied that

recent operational commitments of the Guard and Reserve have

been fully considered. The Committee directs the Air Force to review current delivery or beddown plans for all aircraft in the context of Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve requirements.

The Air Force shall provide the Committee with an updated plan

prior to March 15, 2004.

Air Operations Center Procurement.—The Air Force has requested funding to procure an Air Operations Center [AOC] for

Ramstein Air Force Base in fiscal year 2004. Given the decision to

close Prince Sultan Air Base, the Committee believes that it would

be a better use of funds to simply move the equipment from this

site to Ramstein AFB. The Committee has, therefore, reduced the

budget request for Air Operations Centers by $11,585,000 and directs the Air Force to use the remaining $3,000,000 to move and

install the Prince Sultan AOC at Ramstein AFB.

Backscatter X–Ray Technology for Threat Detection.—The Committee is encouraged with the procurement of backscatter x-ray

technology for the purpose of force protection. The Committee en-
124

courages the Department of the Air Force to continue seeking the

most effective level of biological, chemical, and radiological x-ray

technology available, including the procurement of backscatter xray technology.

Special Operations Rotary Wing Programs.—The President’s

budget requests $675,063,000 for the upgrade of rotary wing aircraft for Special Operations Command [SOCOM]. This request includes funds for procuring the first MH–60 conversion kits and associated upgrade equipment for the Service Life Extension Program

[SLEP]. The Army’s recent decision to delay the SLEP program re-
129

sults in a delay to the SOF program as well. Therefore, the Committee recommends a reduction of $153,000,000 to the budget request. The budget request also includes $46,100,000 for MH–47 spares, an increase of $43,721,000 over last year. While the Committee recognizes the number of requested aircraft has increased over last

year, sufficient rationale for a 40 fold increase is absent. Applying

the formula that SOCOM used last year in its justification materials and allowing for some growth, the Committee recommends a

reduction of $38,100,000 for MH–47 spares.

Advanced SEAL Delivery System.—The Committee believes that

the request for $23,573,000 of advance procurement funding for the

second ASDS is premature. The Committee is supportive of the

program and is aware of the promising capabilities and benefits the

system provides its operators; however, until operational test results, cost estimates, and acquisition strategies have been clearly

articulated, the Committee finds that the resources requested for

procurement would be more effectively used to further the ongoing

research and development efforts.

NATIONAL GUARD AND RESERVE EQUIPMENT

Appropriations, 2003 ............................................................................. $100,000,000

Budget estimate, 2004 ........................................................................... 0

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 700,000,000

The Committee recommends an appropriation of $700,000,000.

This is $700,000,000 above the budget estimate.

The appropriation includes direction for each Reserve and National Guard component commander to submit to the congressional

defense committees a detailed assessment of that component’s modernization priorities.

The Committee maintains that the Reserve and National Guard

component commanders should exercise control of funds provided

for their modernization in this account. The separate submission of

these assessments, directly from the Reserve Component Commanders and the National Guard Directors to the committees will

ensure that Reserve and National Guard priorities are addressed

in the allocation of this appropriation.

Future Combat System.—The fiscal year 2004 President’s budget requests a total of $1,701,331,000 for Armored Systems Modernization.

The Committee is concerned that a single program element containing such a large amount of money will not allow the oversight

necessary to ensure the success of the Army’s transformation to the

Objective Force.

The budget submission breaks out the Future Combat System

into three distinct projects—Future Combat System, Networked

Fires, and Objective Force Indirect Fires. These three projects are

very extensive, incorporating an entire family of not only vehicles,

but an intricate networking capability on both manned and unmanned platforms to provide truly transformational capabilities for

the Army.

The Committee directs that the Secretary of Defense plan, program and budget the Objective Force Indirect Fires project as its

own separate and distinct program element number, within the

Army Research, Development, Test and Evaluation account. The

Committee further directs that this new program element also include funding of $353,242,000 from the Armored Systems Mod-
143

ernization [ASM] program element. The Committee directs that

this program element, and all projects contained within this program element, shall be designated as congressional interest items.

In addition, the Committee directs that the remaining $1,348,089,000 be made available within the Armored Systems

Modernization [ASM] SDD program element and be subdivided

into the following projects: Combat Systems; Maneuver

Sustainment Systems; UAVs; UGVs; Unattended Sensors; and Unattended Munitions.

The Committee directs that the justification materials for fiscal

year 2005 be organized according to the project level breakout described above. Additionally, the Committee directs that these

projects be designated as congressional special interest items in the

fiscal year 2004 budget, and all subsequent budget submissions.

Electric Personal Assistive Mobility Devices.—The Committee is

encouraged by recent developments in the area of electric-drive mobility devices. These devices offer an alternative means of transportation at a reduced cost in operation and maintenance, while maintaining a positive impact on the environment. Additionally, these

devices replace underutilized vehicles currently in the military inventory. In an effort to better understand the full benefits of these

alternative methods of transport, the Committee directs the Army

Tank and Automotive Command to study the impacts of these alternative mobility devices, to include the ability of these vehicles

to replace underutilized vehicles on military installations, reductions in costs attributable to these replacement technologies, as

well as the impact on motor pool maintenance.

Future Tactical Truck System.— The fiscal year 2004 President’s budget includes $6,700,000 for the Future Tactical Truck System

and the Maneuver Sustainment Vehicle program. However, this

program has no Operational Requirements Document, and has an

unrealistic funding profile, with no real transition plan to procurement. The Committee recommends a reduction in the program of

$6,700,000 and further recommends that the Army continue to pursue a tactical truck in the future that takes advantage of the many

advances in the automotive industry.

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles.—The Army’s UAV program finds

itself at a critical point. The interim and objective forces both rely

on UAV capabilities to augment their warfighting capabilities.

UAVs and, more importantly the payloads they carry, will truly

contribute to the successful transformation to the Army’s Objective

Force. Any efforts that impede or hinder the Army’s UAV program

will also impede or hinder transformation. The Committee has

been made aware that the Army plans to transfer UAV advocacy

to the Army aviation directorate. This is a change from the current

structure which places the Army’s military intelligence command

at the head of the program. The Committee is encouraged by the

Army’s progress in the UAV program, and wants to make sure that

moving the advocacy from those interested in payloads and missions to those more interested in aerodynamic capabilities remains

in the best interest of the warfighter. The Committee is further

concerned that as the pressures continue to build on Army aviation, the UAV program will find itself paying the bills. Therefore,

the Committee directs the Department of the Army to report back
144

to the congressional defense committees on the transition plan as

well as the long-term UAV roadmap, no later than January 30,

2004.

Project HomeLink.—The Committee notes that there is a lack of

communications available to family members of active duty military personnel who are deployed out of the United States. With

many of our servicemen and servicewomen overseas, one of the

quickest means for these members of the armed services to communicate with their families is through e-mail. E-mail communications have proven to be an asset to the general morale and well

being of deployed military members. These communications provide

piece of mind not only to the families left behind, but equally as

important, to the soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines who are

doing their jobs so far from home. The Committee encourages the

Department of the Army to initiate a program known as Project

HomeLink, a pilot program for the personnel at Fort Stewart,

Georgia. The program should be directed towards improving the

morale and welfare of deployed military personnel by providing a

portable and easy to use e-mail system to the family members of

those on active duty.

AH–64D Longbow Apache.—The Committee notes that the Army

currently plans to end production of the Apache Longbow in fiscal

year 2006. The Army has stated that the Apache will be the helicopter that supports the Objective Force and will fight alongside

the Comanche.

The Committee encourages the Army to put together a modernization plan which will best leverage current technology insertion programs and technology initiatives. The Army needs to create

a comprehensive integration plan to ensure a successful Apache

transition to the Objective Force. Further, the goal of this transition strategy should address the option of placing all Apache modernization programs under a single manager.

Alternative to Mixed Systems Research.—The Committee is concerned about the direction of the Alternative to Mixed Systems Research effort. The Committee directs the Department of the Army

to submit a report by January 30, 2004 on its plan for meeting the

program’s objectives.

Platoon Early Warning Device [PEWD–II].—The PEWD–II is the

U.S. Army’s standard tactical physical security sensor system that

provides Army commanders with an accurate real-time view of

enemy movement within sectors of interest. It is the Committee’s

understanding that the PEWD–II has successfully completed all

contractor qualification testing and is scheduled for an initial production decision later this year. The Committee encourages the

Army to give this program all due consideration for procurement.

Mine Clearing Technology.—The Committee understands the

commercial-off-the-shelf [COTS] SCANJACK Mine Clearing System

has been used extensively in the Balkans. The Committee encourages the Army’s Night Vision and Advanced Technology program

office to evaluate the SCANJACK system to determine if it is suitable for the Army’s requirement for an area mine clearance system.

Propulsion System for the Future Combat System.—The Committee is concerned that the U.S. Army ensure maximum technical

flexibility and competition as it evaluates propulsion system solu-
145

tions for the Future Combat System. The Committee expects the

Army to base its assessment on total system performance and objective criteria when competing all Requests for Proposals related

to propulsion. The Committee further expects this competition to

maximize the Army’s stated objectives for volume, weight and

maintainability.

Use of Research and Development Funding for Shipbuilding.—

The Committee is aware that the Department of the Navy plans to

fund the purchase of ships in fiscal year 2005 within the Research

and Development, Navy account. These ships—the first in their

class—the DD(X) next-generation destroyer and the Littoral Combat Ship [LCS] are currently planned to be procured with research
155

and development dollars with the second ship in each class to be

procured with Shipbuilding and Conversion, Navy [SCN] funds in

fiscal year 2006.

The Committee understands that there are seeming advantages

to this approach—reducing prior year shipbuilding costs and providing these programs with the additional flexibility that is inherent in research and development funding. The Committee is concerned, however, that the Department will not reap the benefits it

seeks. Central to the argument that supports building the first ship

in a class with research and development funding is the necessity

to learn lessons from the research, development and testing being

done. If the Navy plans, as it currently does, to fund the second

ship in each of these classes in fiscal year 2006 in SCN before actual construction even begins on the research and developmentfunded ships, the distinction between funding in research and development and SCN only becomes one of full-funding.

Therefore, the Committee directs that if these ships—the DD(X)

and LCS—are funded in research and development, all research

and development acquisition rules will apply, including technology

readiness reviews, milestone decisions, and test and evaluation before these ships may enter Shipbuilding and Conversion, Navy for

procurement.

If the Navy chooses not to follow the acquisition policies required

of research and development programs before they enter procurement, funding for these first ships in their class shall be requested

in Shipbuilding and Conversion, Navy, as has been the tradition.

Withholding of Research and Development Funding.—The Committee has been informed by the General Accounting Office that

the Navy has been withholding a percentage of funds from its research and development programs to be reallocated by the service.

The Committee is concerned that this practice disguises the actual

costs of Navy programs. The Committee bases its funding recommendations on the official budget request. If 1 to 2 percent of

the funding requested for these programs is instead being withheld

and pooled to be used on others, the Committee is not receiving accurate information on these programs. This procedure undermines

the work of the Congress.

Therefore, the Committee directs the Comptroller General to submit a report to the congressional defense committees no later than

30 days after the date of enactment that details, by fiscal year,

from what programs these withholds were made and to which programs this funding was applied. The Committee further directs

that the Comptroller General conduct the same review of and report on the research and development accounts for the Air Force,

Army, and for Research and Development, Defense-Wide. This report shall be submitted no later than March 1, 2004.

Open Architecture Upgrades for Vertical Launch Systems.—The

Committee believes that the Mk 41 Vertical Launch System will remain an important part of the Navy’s warfighting capability. To

this end, the Committee encourages the Navy to incorporate this

system in its open architecture plans. Such efforts should ensure

compatibility and Mk 41 availability for either forward-fit or backfit into such open architecture systems.
156

Composite Tissue Transplant Program.—The Committee applauds the progress made to date by the Navy Bureau of Medicine

on the Composite Tissue Transplant Program, but recognizes the

need to extend this work to human clinical trials. The Committee

is aware of the extensive capabilities of Jewish Hospital of Louisville and the University of Louisville in transplantation and their

unparalleled leadership in this area. The Committee requests that

the Navy work cooperatively with them to take this research to the

clinical trials stage.

Joint Simulation System.—The Committee is concerned that the

Department of Defense has planned to establish a software support

facility at the Joint Warfighting Center at Joint Forces Command

to maintain the Joint Simulation System [JSIMS] before an Analysis of Alternatives [AoA] has been completed to determine what

approach is best for simulated joint training. The Committee recommends a reduction to this program of $4,000,000, and directs

that the program not be moved from its current location until the

AoA is complete and the congressional defense committees receive

a report detailing why the preferred alternative was chosen.

Littoral Combat Ship.—The Committee is supportive of the

Navy’s Littoral Combat Ship [LCS] program, but is concerned that

the Navy has underestimated the technological challenges the development of this ship may face. While considerable effort has been

made and careful thought has been taken regarding plans for the

sea frame, the Committee remains unconvinced that similar efforts

have been taken regarding the ship’s mission modules. Unfortunately, of the $158,071,000 the Department of Navy requested for

LCS research and development, the Department only requested

$41,000,000 for sea frame-related mission module activities. The

Committee, therefore, has earmarked $76,000,000 of the request

for LCS and directs the Navy to establish a fully-funded mission

module research and development program for the Flight 0 LCS

that extends beyond the patchworked mine warfare plan.

FORCEnet.—The President’s fiscal year 2004 budget request includes $14,700,000 for the second year of the Navy’s FORCEnet enterprise. The Committee is supportive of the goals of this integration program, but is concerned that no requirements have been approved or implemented and that there is duplication of effort, especially in the areas of experimentation and demonstrations. The

Committee directs that the FORCEnet program establish these requirements, test them from within the Navy Warfighting Experiments and Demonstrations line (PE0603758N), and release the approved requirements changes to those affected Navy and Marine

Corps programs as quickly as possible in fiscal year 2004. To this

end, the Committee recommends that $3,400,000 of FORCEnet

funding be transferred to the Navy Warfighting Experiments and

Demonstrations line and that all activities in that program element

be embedded with FORCEnet concepts.

Military Dental Research.—Oral health problems can have a surprisingly significant impact on operational readiness. Military dental research focuses on reducing dental emergencies which are due

to disease or trauma. This research has resulted in improved battle

site prevention and treatment and has developed improved diagnostic and treatment methods. In 2000, the Military Dental Re-
157

search Review panel confirmed the need for this program, but also

expressed concern over the lack of a steady funding stream for this

research. The Committee agrees that the Department of Defense

has failed to adequately budget for military dental research and directs the Department to sufficiently fund this program in the future.

Joint Strike Fighter Interchangeable Engine.—The Committee is

dismayed that the Joint Strike Fighter program office was permitted to take a reduction for inflation savings disproportionately

against the F136 Interchangeable Engine. This cut resulted in a

$56,000,000 reduction to this engine’s research and development effort in fiscal year 2004.

The Committee has been supportive of this engine development

program for several years and has, in fact, increased funding to accelerate this engine’s development. This cut to the program flies in

the face of longstanding Committee support. The Committee, therefore, recommends a total cut of $56,000,000

to the Joint Strike Fighter program which is to be taken equally

from the Navy and the Air Force Joint Strike Fighter programs

with the exception of the F136 engine program. The Committee

also recommends that the fiscal year 2004 cut to the F136 Interchangeable Engine be restored to the original program with an appropriate adjustment for the inflation cut. Finally, the Committee has added $20,000,000 to this program

only for risk reduction to the F136 Interchangeable Engine program.

Geostationary Imaging FTS [GIFTS].—The Committee is supportive of the Geostationary Imaging FTS [GIFTS] program and instructs the Department of the Navy to honor its commitment to

this important program.

FireScout Unmanned Aerial Vehicle.—The Committee has included an additional $46,400,000 for the FireScout unmanned aerial vehicle program. The Committee directs that the eight

FireScouts procured be available for Naval concept of operations

studies (to include those for the Littoral Combat Ship) and that,

from remaining funds, the Navy shall develop and implement a

complete operational testing plan for this system.

Shared Navy and Coast Guard UAV Requirements.—The United

States Coast Guard could greatly benefit from the lessons that the

Navy has learned about the use of unmanned aerial vehicles and

their continued development. The Committee directs the Secretary

of the Navy, in conjunction with the Commandant of the United

States Coast Guard, to submit a report, no later than April 1, 2004,

to the Committees on Appropriations, which details the common requirements each have and which recommends technologies and/or

platforms which would meet these requirement currently and in

the future.

National Aerospace Initiative.—The President’s fiscal year 2004

budget request creates an Aerospace Initiative within several different research and development accounts throughout the budget

submission. The Committee has several concerns with this approach. First, the overall strategy of the program suffers from poor

program definition. Second, the information contained within each

of the justification book materials is less than adequate. While

these materials flag specific interest items within specific program

element lines as being part of the National Aerospace Initiative,

there is no concise, unified submission that links all these projects

together for a clearly defined, clearly stated goal that addresses the

overall initiative.

The Committee is very concerned that this initiative places

undue burdens on the funding plans of the affected services’ basic

science and technology programs, and essentially amounts to a series of unfunded mandates, with particular respect to the Army

and the Air Force. This approach has the potential to create devastating effects on the future of service driven science and technology.

While the Committee lauds the Secretary of Defense’s efforts to

streamline research and development in key areas of hypersonics,

there is no overarching tie which makes clear why each project was

chosen, or how it is linked with the others.

Therefore, the Committee recommends a reduction to the National Aerospace Initiative [NAI] of $30,000,000 from projects related to hypersonics, and a reduction of $20,000,000 from projects

related to space access. This action represents an increase of 26

percent over the fiscal year 2003 appropriated level for hypersonics

programs and an increase of 8 percent over the fiscal year 2003 appropriated level for projects relating to space access.

In addition, the Committee is particularly concerned that two of

the NAI’s central projects, projects the Defense Department calls

‘‘critical path demonstrations’’, are new starts in 2004 and unfunded in the Future Year Defense Plan. Few details were provided

on these projects and the Department of Defense has failed to
166

make the case that these technologies have a clearly defined, executable path forward. It appears that the Department is also unconvinced of the merits of this program and has decided against

funding it in the out-years. Therefore, the Committee recommends

a reduction of $42,298,000 from PE 0603211F, project 5099 and

$38,885,000 from PE 0603216F, project 3035.

Electronic Warfare Transition Plan.—The Committee notes that

cross-service electronic attack and tactical jamming capabilities are

being updated and modernized. The Navy’s Improved Capabilities

III [ICAP–III] electronic warfare development has thus far been

successful and is planned to transition to the Navy’s follow-on jamming platform.

The Committee notes that the United States Air Force is requesting funds for the development of an electronic attack program

utilizing the B–52 as an electronic attack platform and is concerned

that the program outlined to date does not leverage receiver investments made by other services and may be inconsistent with the intentions of the congressionally-mandated Advanced Electronic Attack Analysis of Alternative.

The Committee encourages the Air Force to work with other

services to capitalize on investments already made in the area of

electronic attack. That cooperation should ensure that the technologies developed and fielded are consistent with those of the

other services and work in conjunction with those systems. The

Secretary of the Air Force shall submit to the congressional defense

committees a report detailing the future path of electronic warfare

and the means by which the Air Force will accomplish the stated

goals of the Analysis of Alternatives. This report shall be due by

no later than January 30, 2004.

GPS III.—The Committee notes that the fiscal year 2004 President’s budget did not include funding for the GPS III satellite program. This action will delay the launch of this critical capability

until at least fiscal year 2012.

GPS III represents a complete overhaul of the GPS architecture.

This critical modernization program provides improved system performance in the areas of anti-jam, accuracy, system fidelity, improved signal and mission flexibility, as well as increased responsiveness of the system to civil and military customers.

The Committee has great concern that the Air Force has continued to delay this program, in spite of the continued support of the

Congress and the warfighter. The improved technology that GPS

III brings to the military is impressive. It is difficult to understand

why the Department of Defense continues to delay this program

and drag their feet on making the necessary commitment to field

this program as soon as technologically feasible. The Committee

notes that the Air Force felt this program was necessary in its previous budget submissions to Congress, is planning to fund it in the

fiscal year 2005 budget, but included no funding in fiscal year

2004. With sporadic budget plans like this, it is no mystery why

critical space programs continue to be delayed.

Therefore, the Committee directs the Secretary of the Air Force

to report back to the congressional defense committees no later

than January 30, 2004 with a detailed plan of options for fielding

this critical program prior to fiscal year 2012.

Advanced Wideband System (Transformational Communications

Architecture).—The fiscal year 2004 President’s budget requests $439,000,000 for the Advanced Wideband System [AWS], also

known as the Transformational Communications Architecture. The

Committee recommends a reduction of $90,000,000. AWS’s stated

goal is to remove communications as a constraint to the warfighter.

The Committee supports this goal and that of the AWS to move

communications into the next generation. However, the Committee

is concerned that the Air Force assumes too much risk and is maintaining too aggressive of a schedule, without adequately providing

for risk reduction.

Space Based Radar.—The budget request includes $274,104,000

for the Space Based Radar program. The Committee notes that the

Air Force has increased funding for this program by nearly 500

percent over last year’s appropriated level. The Committee is concerned that this level of program growth is cause for concern. The

General Accounting Office recently noted that ‘‘key reports regarding the program’s estimated cost, capabilities, concept of operations, and analysis of cost effective alternatives are pending.’’

Therefore, the Committee recommends a reduction in the pro- gram of $75,000,000. The Committee directs the Secretary of the

Air Force to report back to the congressional defense committees on

an updated and complete concept of operations, as well as a detailed analysis of alternatives. This report should also include an

analysis of costs to field the entire constellation and shall be delivered no later than January 30, 2004.

Defense University Research Instrumentation Program.—The Defense University Research Instrumentation Program [DURIP] supports the purchase of equipment that augments current university

capabilities or develops new university capabilities to perform defense research. However, the DURIP includes a prohibition that

does not allow funding for salaries. The Committee recognizes that

due to the unique nature of military research projects, it is often

difficult to find suitable commercial-off-the-shelf equipment that

does not need to be modified by technicians. The Committee directs

that the DURIP examine allowing technician salaries for the fabrication of the specific research instrumentation by the research institution receiving the DURIP.

DARPA.—The budget justification materials provided for DARPA

funding requests do not contain cost analysis, contract award and

major performer information. The Committee finds this information

an indispensable component of budget justification documentation

and directs DARPA to incorporate this information into its future

funding requests.

Multiple Target Tracking Optical Sensor Array Technologies

[MOST].—The Committee recommends $1,000,000 for the Missile

Defense Agency to assess the MOST technology and report its conclusions to the Committee no later than February 1, 2004.
175

Improved Materials for Optical Memories.—The Committee recommends that $4,200,000 be implemented as a Phase III SBIR

based on MDA Phase II SBIR titled ‘‘Improved Materials for Optical Memories.’’

Russian-American Observational Satellites.—The Committee is

encouraged by the progress made toward obtaining a Governmentto-Government Agreement for the RAMOS Program. The Committee encourages MDA to complete in a timely manner the Government-to-Government Agreement to allow for the two satellite

launches in 2008. The Committee directs that the funds identified

for the RAMOS Program in PE0603884C of the Department’s budget request shall be used for the RAMOS Program only.

Missile Testing.—The Committee continues to support the development of surrogate targets to represent a variety of threats. In

many tests, however, this surrogate will be emulating an extended

range scud missile. For these tests, the use of actual, low cost, extended range scud missiles will ensure realism and establish a true

baseline of performance for both the interceptor and the surrogate.

The Committee believes that it is vital that MDA prove the effectiveness of its systems against real threats wherever possible and

therefore, directs that $15,000,000 of the funds provided for Ballistic Missile Defense Test and Targets be used to acquire extended

range scud targets.

Embedded National Tactical Receiver.—The Committee is aware

of the great potential of the Embedded National Tactical Receiver

(ENTR) and recommends the Department assure ENTR is Joint

Tactical Radio System Software Communications Architecture complaint as soon as possible.

Appropriations, 2003 ............................................................................. $1,784,956,000

Budget estimate, 2004 ........................................................................... 1,721,507,000

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 1,449,007,000

The Committee recommends an appropriation of $1,449,007,000.

This is $272,500,000 below the budget estimate.

Unjustified Requests for Appropriations.—The Committee found a

lack of satisfactory justification for much of the appropriation requested for the Defense Working Capital Funds. Justification materials were either inadequate, or in the case of the Air Force, did

not exist. The Committee recommends a reduction of $272,500,000

to the budget estimate, distributed as follows:

[In thousands of dollars]

Item Committee recommendation

Working Capital Fund, Defense-Wide ................................................................................................................ ¥232,500

Working Capital Fund, Air Force ........................................................................................................................ ¥40,000

Total adjustments ................................................................................................................................. ¥272,500

This reduction is to be taken only as shown above. Specifically,

this reduction is not to be taken against requested appropriations

for Working Capital Fund, Army, Working Capital Fund, Navy, or

Working Capital Fund, Defense Commissary Agency.

Unutilized Plant Capacity.—Unutilized Plant Capacity [UPC]

funding is required to compensate working capital fund activities

for the unique overhead costs of maintaining industrial capacity

that will be used only in the event of military mobilization. The

Committee commends the Army for fully funding UPC this year,

and directs the Secretary of the Army to use the UPC funding provided for the purpose described in the Army Working Capital Fund

budget justification materials.

Golden Dollar Coin.—The Committee urges the Secretary of Defense, in cooperation with the Director of the United States Mint,

to ensure that the Golden Dollar coin is rapidly placed into circulation to the maximum extent feasible at all domestic military installations, including military commissaries, exchanges and clubs. The

Committee directs the Director, Defense Commissary Agency, the

Commander, Army and Air Force Exchange Service, the Commander, Navy Exchange Service Command, and the Director, Marine Corps Community Services to jointly prepare a complete report

on the progress of these efforts. This report is to be submitted to
178

the congressional defense committees before presentation of the fiscal year 2005 budget estimate.

The Committee recommends an appropriation of $344,148,000.

This is $718,614,000 below the budget estimate.

The President’s budget request included funding for the construction of two T–AKE class ships. The Committee notes that while the

Congress has appropriated funds for four ships since the initiation

of the program in fiscal year 2000, construction of the first vessel

has yet to commence. Due to the significant construction delays the

program is experiencing, the Committee recommends a reduction of

$722,314,000 for the T–AKE request. The Committee recommends

an increase of $3,700,000 to the budget request for the conversion

of a former Naval vessel into a training ship for the Great Lakes

Maritime Academy.

TITLE VI

OTHER DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE APPROPRIATIONS

DEFENSE HEALTH PROGRAM

Appropriations, 2003 ............................................................................. $14,843,542,000

Budget estimate, 2004 ........................................................................... 15,270,509,000

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 15,656,913,000

The Committee recommends an appropriation of $15,656,913,000.

This is $386,404,000 above the budget estimate.

The Committee remains concerned that current reprogramming

procedures within the Defense Health Program operation and

maintenance account are not sufficient to prevent the migration of

funds from the Military Treatment Facilities [MTFs] to pay for the

increasing cost of contractor provided medical care. The impact of

this financial migration has seriously degraded the ability of the

MTFs, which have inherent cost advantages, to care for military

personnel and their dependents. Therefore, the Committee recommends that not more than $7,420,972,000 may be spent on contractor provided medical benefits within TRICARE. Any increase in

the amount required to fund the contractor provided care will require a prior approval reprogramming.

TRICARE Medical Coverage for Reservists.—At the time of the

Committee’s mark up of the fiscal year 2004 defense bill, the Senate authorized making reservists and their families eligible for

TRICARE health benefits on a fulltime basis, rather than only during mobilizations. The House recommended no similar benefit.

The Committee supports the benefit, but is deferring action on

the issue since it is unclear at this time whether the benefit will

be authorized in law. If the program is ultimately authorized the

Department will be required to fund the costs within existing resources or request supplemental appropriations.

Cost Sharing for Medical Research Programs.—The Committee

commends the Department for its management of the peer reviewed medical research and cancer research programs, but notes

with concern the challenge of funding increases to these programs

within the resources available for military spending. Therefore, the

Committee directs the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Health Affairs), in consultation with the service Surgeons General and the

Institute of Medicine, to investigate alternative funding sources, including private sector and non-Federal contributions, that can best

be used to leverage appropriated funds without biasing the peer review selection process. The Department should report their findings and recommendations when submitting their annual report on

the status of the Peer Review Medical Research Program, due on

March 1, 2004.

Peer Reviewed Medical Research Program.—The Committee has

provided $50,000,000 for a Peer Reviewed Medical Research Program. The Committee directs the Secretary of Defense, in conjunction with the service Surgeons General, to select medical research

projects of clear scientific merit and direct relevance to military

health.

Such projects could include: amyotrophic lateral sclerosis; alcoholism research; biology, education, screening, chemoprevention

and treatment [BESCT] lung cancer research; blood-related cancer

research; childhood asthma; chronic pain research; defense and veterans head injury program; diabetes research; electrical impedance

scanning device; epilepsy research; geneware rapid vaccine development; interventional cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging

technologies; medical error reduction research; muscle function research; Malaria vaccine initiative [SBRI]; molecular medicine; muscular dystrophy; neurofibromatosis; operating room of the future;

osteoporosis and bone related disease research; Padget’s disease;

providence cancer research project; post traumatic stress disorders;

social work research; tuberous sclerosis complex; and Volume Angio

CAT [VAC] research.

The Committee directs the Department to provide a report by

March 1, 2004, on the status of this Peer Reviewed Medical Research Program.

Clinical Coupler Integration.—The Committee commends the Department for its development of the Composite Health Care System

II [CHCSII], the electronic medical record that will improve the

quality of care and documentation for sevicemembers. In particular, the Committee directs the Department to continue integrating clinical decision support tools that use coupling technology

into CHCSII, paying particular attention to high-volume, high cost

diseases such as those identified by the Institute of Medicine. The

Committee has recommended $6,000,000 for this effort.

Myeloproliferative Disorders Research.—The Committee recommends $5,000,000 for peer review research into chronic

myeloproliferative disorders. These disorders of the bone marrow

are malignant diseases that offer great research promise with respect to the behavior of human blood cells. The Committee directs

that the Secretary of Defense, in conjunction with the service Surgeons General, to select clinical and basic medical research projects

of clear scientific merit and of direct relevance to military health.

Anti-Radiation Drug Development.—The Committee recommends

$5,000,000 for the Armed Forces Radiobiology Research Institute

[AFRRI] to continue development and research trials of the

radioprotectant drug 5-androstenediol.

Integrated Healing Practices for Veterans [VET–HEAL].—The

Committee recommends $2,000,000 for conducting the VET–HEAL

program to develop and evaluate integrated healing care as an adjunct to conventional biomedical methods. The integrated healing

care research will address health issues that present challenges to

conventional medicine, including post-traumatic stress syndrome

and other conditions exhibited by troops returning from Iraq and

Afghanistan, as well as hospice care. To best address the needs of

military members and veterans exhibiting these conditions, the research must have access to the full continuum of care across the
182

Department of Defense and the Department of Veterans Affairs.

Therefore, the Committee directs the Department of Defense to

work closely with the Department of Veterans Affairs for the operation of this program that is being conducted under the management of the Unformed Services University of Health Sciences.

Alcoholism Research.—The Committee remains concerned about

excessive alcohol consumption among military members. Alcoholism is a significant factor in suicide and accidental deaths, as

well as lost productivity and health problems. Research holds the

promise of developing more effective prevention programs and new

and better methods for the treatment of alcoholism. For example,

the development of effective drug therapies for alcoholism requires

an improved understanding of how alcohol changes brain function

to produce craving, loss of control, tolerance, and the alcohol withdrawal syndrome.

ADDITIONAL ITEMS OF INTEREST

Unobligated Balances.—A General Accounting Office review of

the Defense Health Program’s financial records indicates that significant funds are not being obligated in a timely manner, resulting

in the expiration of those funds and their eventual return to the

Treasury. The Committee is concerned about the financial management practices, procedures, and systems that contribute to the expiration of appropriated funds, especially in light of the flexibility

afforded the program with the 2 percent carryover provision for operation and maintenance funds. The Committee directs the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Health Affairs) to examine the financial

management practices and procedures that have contributed to this

problem and to provide a report to the Defense Appropriations

Committees of the House and Senate, outlining the causes and corrective actions required to prevent unobligated funds from expiring.

HealtheForces/Outcomes Management Program.—The Committee

is encouraged by the distinguished accomplishments of the Walter

Reed Army Medical Center’s HealtheForces/Outcomes Management

Program. In May 2003, the program set a national precedent by

earning six of the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare

Organizations’ [JCAHO] new Disease-Specific Care certifications.

This independent, national level review of the program coupled

with its rapid deployment nationwide speaks to the merits of

HealtheForces and its contribution to the population’s health management. The Committee commends the Department for including

$8,700,000 in the fiscal year 2004 budget to support HealtheForces/

Outcomes Management and encourages the Department to include

it in the Defense Health Program’s Future Year Defense Program.

Nurse Corps Officers-to-Nurse Faculty.—The Committee recognizes that the current nursing shortage is having an effect on the

quality and effectiveness of the Nation’s healthcare delivery system. The Committee encourages the creation of a Nurse Officersto-Nurse Faculty Program, modeled after the successful Troops to

Teachers Program at the Department of Defense, which will place

qualified nurse military veterans into nurse faculty positions in accredited schools of nursing.

Advanced Virtual Combat Trauma Training System.—The Committee recognizes the importance of advanced virtual combat trau-
183

ma training. This system makes critical combat trauma skills

training available for health professionals, medics and soldiers

alike for operational readiness, and hospital training.

Health Professions Loan Repayment Program.—The Committee

strongly encourages the Department to fully explore and develop

mechanisms for loan repayment that are separate from the Health

Professions Scholarship and the Financial Assistance Programs.

Nurses, pharmacists, dentists, optometrists, and psychologists have

all indicated that greater targeting of funds for loan repayment

would enhance recruitment as well as retention efforts.

Post-Doctoral Education.—The Committee continues to be supportive of post-doctoral training in psychology. The Department of

Defense is encouraged to consolidate post-doctoral training efforts

for psychologists in those military medical centers where independent departments of psychology exist and to examine lengthening the training to a 2-year program.

Graduate Professional Education.—The Committee continues its

strong support of equitable distribution of Department of Defense

funds for graduate professional education to all health professions,

including nursing.

Nurse Accession Bonus.—The Committee reiterates its concern

that the Department has yet to increase the accession bonuses for

nurses in the services, which currently are the lowest of any of the

professions at $5,000. In order to attract the best and the brightest,

this amount should be increased, and the Committee strongly urges

the Department to remedy this inequity.

Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists.—The Committee reiterates its strong support of the current scope of practice of military

Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists [CRNAs]. The Committee

is aware that the Department and service instructions allow

CRNAs the privilege of practicing as licensed independent providers of anesthesia care, legally responsible for care they render

but practicing with professional oversight.

Pediatric Emergency Medical Services.—The Committee expresses its strong support for pediatric-specific EMS training and

equipment related to hospital preparedness. The Committee directs

the Secretary of Defense to ensure that Military Treatment Facilities comply.

Behavioral Research in the Military Service Laboratories.—The

Committee recognizes that psychological scientists address a broad

range of important issues and problems vital to our national security through the military research laboratories. Given the increasingly complex demands on our military personnel, psychological research on leadership, decision-making under stress, cognitive readiness, training, and human-technology interactions have become

even more mission-critical, and the Committee strongly encourages

the service laboratories to reverse cuts made to their behavioral research programs.

Optometry Retention Bonus.—The Committee encourages the

Secretary to fund the $6,000 per year retention bonus authorized

in 37 U.S.C. 302a for Optometrists.

Bone Physiology Research.—The Committee recommends that the

DOD support research which will lead to improved bone health and

enhance military readiness by reducing the incidence of stress frac-
184

tures during physically intensive duty. Findings that will emanate

from DOD research efforts will not only assist our active duty

forces, but also will help prevent, diagnose and treat those with debilitating bone disease.

Use of Behavioral Health Professionals.—The Committee is

pleased that Tripler Army Medical Center is taking the lead in the

use of behavioral health professionals to treat chronic pain.

Tobacco Use Cessation.—Tobacco use costs the Defense Department hundreds of millions of dollars every year in medical cost and

lost productivity. While the Department has established ambitious

goals to decrease use of tobacco products, it has not provided adequate resources to meet these goals. The Committee is disappointed that the Department has not yet incorporated smoking

cessation in TRICARE Prime benefits even though such preventative care saves money and has not even aggressively pursued suggested pilot programs. The Committee urges the Department to expedite availability of tobacco use prevention and cessation programs to all personnel.

Lung Cancer Screening.—The Committee urges the Secretary of

Defense, in consultation with the Secretary of Veterans Affairs, to

begin a multi-institutional lung cancer screening program with centralized imaging review incorporating state of the art image processing and integration of computer assisted diagnostic tools.

The Committee recommends an appropriation of $1,620,076,000.

This is $30,000,000 below the budget estimate.

Program Savings.—During fiscal year 2003 destruction operations were halted or curtailed at two locations resulting in operation and maintenance savings to the chemical demilitarization

program. The Committee recommends a reduction of $10,000,000

based on this savings.

Speedy Neutralization.—The decision by the Department to accelerate destruction operations at two sites has resulted in an estimated cost avoidance of over $300,000,000. The Committee recommends a reduction of $20,000,000 based on this savings.

Northern Command.—The Committee does not support the Department of Defense’s new policy to centralize the authority of the

military’s counter-drug programs at Northern Command. The Committee recognizes that the ongoing role of the regional commands

in our counterdrug program is essential to its success. The regional

commands have dedicated individuals and resources closely monitoring these issues and in their specific areas of responsibility

[AORs]. These individuals also play an integral part in the military

operations in those AORs. If these activities were transferred to

Northern Command, the Nation would lose precious time and information due to the need to train new individuals to learn the tasks

and create relationships with the AORs that others have mastered.

The Committee believes the Nation’s war on drugs is better served

from these regional posts and has redirected funds back to them.

National Guard.—The Committee has provided an additional

$25,000,000 for the National Guard for its counter-drug mission.

The Department of Defense’s [DOD] budget request does not provide adequate resources for the Guard to execute its duties. The

Committee believes the Guard is an integral part of the Nation’s

war on drugs.

The Committee also understands that DOD has decided to reduce the Guard’s counter-drug activities. DOD has transferred

some of the Guard’s counter-drug tasks to domestic agencies. The

Committee has not received adequate information that states that

these agencies have the funds, training, equipment, and personnel

to effectively execute the mission. Without these capabilities, the

Administration may eventually have to return these duties back to

the Guard. Therefore, until the Administration provides the necessary resources for these domestic agencies to execute these activities, the Committee directs DOD to again review this policy change
186

and to continue to invest DOD’s ample resources in the war on

drugs.

The Committee recommends an appropriation of $8,000,000. This

is equal to the budget estimate.

The National Security Education Program [NSEP], created by

Congress in 1991, is the Nation’s only program that funds U.S. college and university students to study the language and culture of

countries critical to national security. In exchange, these undergraduate and graduate students make a commitment to seek work

in the Federal Government.

Because of NSEP’s demonstrated, longstanding success, and the

increasingly evident and critical shortages in foreign language proficiency in the Department of Defense, the Committee does not support the proposed transfer of the program to the Department of

Education, or to the Central Intelligence Agency. The Committee

applauds DOD’s willingness and preparation to continue its management of the program.
188

In addition, the Committee is aware of concerns about the longterm solvency of the National Security Education Trust Fund. The

Committee directs the President, National Defense University and

the Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller) to jointly prepare a

complete report on the status of the Trust Fund, with proposed solutions to resolve any identified challenges. This report is to be

submitted to the congressional defense committees before presentation of the fiscal year 2005 budget estimate.

COMPLIANCE WITH PARAGRAPH 7, RULE XVI, OF THE

STANDING RULES OF THE SENATE

Paragraph 7 of rule XVI requires that Committee reports on general appropriations bills identify each Committee amendment to

the House bill ‘‘which proposes an item of appropriation which is

not made to carry out the provisions of an existing law, a treaty

stipulation, or an act or resolution previously passed by the Senate

during that session.’’

At the point when the Committee reports this measure, the Congress has not completed action on the Fiscal Year 2003 Defense

Authorization Act. As a consequence, the Committee has acted in

good faith in its attempt to comply fully with requirements stipulated under paragraph 7, rule XVI.

The Committee anticipates that Congress will authorize the

amounts appropriated in this act.

COMPLIANCE WITH PARAGRAPH 7(C), RULE XXVI OF THE

STANDING RULES OF THE SENATE

Pursuant to paragraph 7(c) of rule XXVI, on July 9, 2003, the

Committee ordered reported en bloc S. 1382, an original bill making appropriations for the Department of Defense for the fiscal year

ending September 30, 2004, and S. 1383, an original bill making

appropriations for the Legislative Branch for the fiscal year ending

September 30, 2004, each subject to amendment and each subject

to the budget allocations, by a recorded vote of 29–0, a quorum

being present. The vote was as follows:

Yeas Nays

Chairman Stevens

Mr. Cochran

Mr. Specter

Mr. Domenici

Mr. Bond

Mr. McConnell

Mr. Burns

Mr. Shelby

Mr. Gregg

Mr. Bennett

Mr. Campbell

Mr. Craig

Mr. Kohl

Mrs. Murray

Mr. Dorgan

Mrs. Feinstein

Mr. Durbin

Mr. Johnson

Ms. Landrieu

COMPLIANCE WITH PARAGRAPH 12, RULE XXVI OF THE

STANDING RULES OF THE SENATE

Paragraph 12 of rule XXVI requires that Committee reports on

a bill or joint resolution repealing or amending any statute or part

of any statute include ‘‘(a) the text of the statute or part thereof

which is proposed to be repealed; and (b) a comparative print of

that part of the bill or joint resolution making the amendment and

of the statute or part thereof proposed to be amended, showing by

stricken-through type and italics, parallel columns, or other appropriate typographical devices the omissions and insertions which

would be made by the bill or joint resolution if enacted in the form

recommended by the committee.’’

With respect to this bill, it is the opinion of the Committee that

it is necessary to dispense with these requirements in order to expedite the business of the Senate.
