JOINT EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF THE COMMITTEE OF 

CONFERENCE 

The managers on the part of the House and Senate at the conference on the disagreeing votes of the two Houses on the amendment of the Senate to the bill (H.R. 3043) making appropriations 

for the Department of Labor, Health and Human Services, and 

Education, and related agencies for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2008, and for other purposes, submit the following joint 

statement to the House and Senate in explanation of the effect of 

the action agreed upon by the managers and recommended in the 

accompanying conference report. 

This conference agreement includes the Departments of Labor, 

Health and Human Services, and Education, and Related Agencies 

Appropriations Act, 2008 as Division A; and the Military Construction and Veterans Affairs and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 

2008 as Division B. 

DIVISION A—DEPARTMENTS OF LABOR, HEALTH AND 

HUMAN SERVICES, AND EDUCATION, AND RELATED 

AGENCIES APPROPRIATIONS, 2008 

In implementing this conference agreement, the Departments 

and agencies should be guided by the language and instructions set 

forth in House Report 110–231 and Senate Report 110–107 accompanying the bill, H.R. 3043. 

In the cases where the language and instructions in either report specifically address the allocation of funds, each has been reviewed by the conferees and those that are jointly concurred in 

have been endorsed in this joint statement. 

In the cases in which the House or the Senate reports direct 

the submission of a report, such report is to be submitted to both 

the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations. 

The conferees note that section 516 sets forth the reprogramming requirements and limitations for the Departments and agencies funded through this Act, including the requirement to make a 

written request to the Committees 15 days prior to reprogramming, 

or to the announcement of intent to reprogram, funds in excess of 

10 percent, or $500,000, whichever is less, between programs, 

projects and activities. 

Finally, the conferees request that statements on the effect of 

this appropriation Act on the Departments and agencies funded in 

this Division be submitted to the Committees within 45 days of enactment of this Act, pursuant to section 518. The conferees expect 

that these statements will provide sufficient detail to show the allocation of funds among programs, projects and activities, particularly in accounts where the final appropriation is different than 

that of the budget request. Furthermore, the conferees request the 

statements to also include the effect of the appropriation on any 


hmoore on PRODPC68 with HMRPT
86 

new activities or major initiatives discussed in the budget justifications accompanying the fiscal year 2008 budget. 

REDUCING THE NEED FOR ABORTIONS

The conference agreement includes nearly $615 million over 

the fiscal year 2007 funding level for the initiative in the House bill 

to reduce the need for abortions in America through both prevention and support programs. Key increases are provided for Healthy 

Start, Family Planning, Abstinence Education, Child Care, and 

Community Services Block Grant to increase services to prevent 

unintended pregnancies, encourage women to carry their pregnancies to term, and provide support for new parents who have 

economic difficulties. New approaches include a young parents 

training initiative in the Department of Labor, first time motherhood grants under the Health Resources and Services Administration, and a teen pregnancy prevention demonstration within the 

Centers for Disease Control. 

The Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and 

Education, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2008, put in 

place by this bill, incorporates the following agreements of the 

managers: 

TITLE I—DEPARTMENT OF LABOR 

EMPLOYMENT AND TRAINING ADMINISTRATION

TRAINING AND EMPLOYMENT SERVICES

(INCLUDING RESCISSIONS)

The conference agreement includes $3,618,940,000 for Training 

and Employment Services, instead of $3,530,530,000 as proposed 

by the House and $3,587,138,000 as proposed by the Senate. Of the 

amount appropriated, $1,772,000,000 is an advance appropriation 

for fiscal year 2009 as proposed by the House and the Senate. 

The conference agreement includes $1,471,903,000 for Dislocated Worker Assistance as proposed by the House and the Senate. The conferees override the formula that provides that 80 percent of the funds provided will be used for State formula grants 

and 20 percent in a National Reserve Account. For program year 

2008 the conferees provide $1,189,811,000 for the State formula 

grants and $282,092,000 for the National Reserve Account. 

The conference agreement provides that $6,300,000 in National 

Reserve Account funds shall be available upon enactment for the 

purposes of grants, to be awarded within 30 days of enactment, for 

the continuation of national or multi-state training and employment programs. These grants are to be awarded to the AFL–CIO 

Working for America Institute and AFL–CIO Appalachian Council, 

as proposed by the Senate, and the National Center on Education 

and the Economy, as proposed by the House. 

The conference agreement provides that up to $125,000,000 

within the National Reserve Account may be used to carry out the 

Community-Based Job Training Grant initiative as proposed by the 

House, instead of $150,000,000 as proposed by the Senate. The conference agreement continues bill language which provides that this 


hmoore on PRODPC68 with HMRPT
87 

amount is to be allocated from national emergency grant funds 

available under section 132(a)(2)(A) of the Workforce Investment 

Act of 1998, notwithstanding the limitation otherwise imposed 

under section 171(d), as provided by the Senate. The House contained no similar provision. The conference agreement includes a 

general provision requiring these grants to be awarded competitively. 

The conferees are in agreement that no funds from the dislocated worker national reserve account or other pilot and demonstration resources be used for career advancement accounts or 

the predecessor proposal for personal reemployment accounts prior 

to a specific authorization of such activities, as proposed by the 

House. The Senate contained no similar provision. 

For Native Americans, the conference agreement includes $55,039,000, instead of $56,381,000 as proposed by the House and 

$53,696,000 as proposed by the Senate. 

For Migrant and Seasonal Farmworkers, the conference agree- ment includes a total of $82,740,000 instead of $83,740,000 as proposed by the House and $79,752,000 as proposed by the Senate. 

Within the total, $77,265,000 is for State service area grants. The 

amount provided also includes $4,975,000 for housing grants and 

$500,000 for other discretionary purposes, as described in the Senate report. The House bill included $5,000,000 for housing and the 

Senate bill provided $4,950,000 for housing and $500,000 for other 

discretionary purposes. The conference agreement includes bill language proposed by the House providing that no less than 70 percent of formula funds be used for employment and training services 

and bill language proposed by the Senate which prohibits the Department from restricting the provision of ‘‘related assistance’’ services by grantees. These provisions ensure that the program primarily addresses the employment and training needs of the target 

population while also allowing grantees to provide related services 

that are often critical to the stabilization and availability of the 

farm labor workforce. 

For YouthBuild, the conference agreement includes 

$62,500,000, instead of $60,000,000 as proposed by the House and 

$65,000,000 as proposed by the Senate. This will provide sufficient 

funds for an additional competitive grant round in program year 

2008. 

For Pilots, Demonstrations and Research, the conference agreement includes $50,569,000 instead of $28,140,000 as proposed by 

the House and $30,650,000 as proposed by the Senate. Included in 

this amount is $5,000,000 for a new demonstration program of 

competitive grants to address the employment and training needs 

of young parents as proposed by the House and detailed in House 

Report 110–231. The House provided $10,000,000 for this purpose. 

The Senate had no similar provision. 

For the remaining amount provided for Pilots, Demonstrations 

and Research, the conference agreement includes a modification of 

bill language as proposed by the Senate. The conference agreement 

includes the following projects in the following amounts:

The conference agreement consolidates the Responsible Reintegration of Youthful Offenders and Prisoner Reentry programs 

into a program of Reintegration of Ex-Offenders, as proposed by 

the House. The conference agreement provides $78,694,000, instead 

of $68,746,000 as proposed by the House and a total of $68,642,000 

as proposed by the Senate in two individual programs. Within this 

amount, the conference agreement provides that no less than 

$59,000,000 be used for programming for youth. The conference 

agreement also provides that a total of $50,000,000 be available 

from resources in both fiscal years 2007 and 2008 for a youth mentoring initiative. The $50,000,000 provided is for competitive grants 

to local educational agencies or community-based organizations to 

develop and implement mentoring strategies in schools identified 

as persistently dangerous. The conferees intend that $33,000,000 

provided in this Act, along with $17,000,000 in funds made available under the fiscal year 2007 appropriation for youthful offenders, be available for this purpose and direct that the solicitation of 

grant agreements be issued on a timeline that provides for the incorporation of both the fiscal year 2007 and fiscal year 2008 contributions to the enhanced effort to assist persistently dangerous 

schools in mentoring efforts to prevent youth violence in high crime 

areas. 

For the Denali Commission, the conference agreement provides 

$6,875,000 as proposed by the Senate for job training services. The 

House did not include funds for this activity. 

The conference agreement does not include the $49,000,000 undistributed reduction in training and employment services as proposed by the House. The Senate bill had no similar provision. 

The conference agreement includes a rescission of $245,000,000 

in prior year Workforce Investment Act unexpended balances for 

the Youth, Adult and Dislocated Worker formula programs. The 

House bill contained a $335,000,000 rescission of prior year training and employment service balances, while the Senate bill had no 

similar provision. The conferees direct the Secretary to target the 

rescission within each funding stream so that the first funds subject to recapture are those program year 2005 and 2006 funds carried in to program year 2007 that are in excess of 30 percent of 

funds available in program year 2006 as of June 30, 2007. To arVerDate Aug 31 2005 06:30 Nov 10, 2007 Jkt 038651 PO 00000 Frm 00095 Fmt 6601 Sfmt 6601 E:\HR\OC\HR424.XXX HR424

hmoore on PRODPC68 with HMRPT
92 

rive at the total amount within each funding stream, the balance 

of the rescission should be based on each State’s remaining unexpended fiscal year 2005 and 2006 balances as of June 30, 2007, 

after adjusting those balances by any excess carryout identified in 

the first calculation. In addition, within each funding stream, the 

conferees direct that the Secretary ensure that the amounts rescinded within each State shall be from funds reserved for Statewide activities, and funds related to each local area, in proportion 

to the extent to which these balances, respectively, contributed to 

the amount to be rescinded in the State. Consistent with these 

specifications, the conferees direct the Secretary to carry out the rescission in a manner that will minimize burdens on States and 

local areas. To achieve that goal, the conferees further direct that 

it is intended that the requirements of sections 128, 133 and 

134(a)(3)(B) of WIA relating to cost limits and to the applicable percentages of funds that may be used for Statewide activities, rapid 

response, and allocations to local areas, be applied by the Secretary 

only with respect to the initial allotments received by the State 

from fiscal year 2005 and 2006 funds and that those requirements 

are not intended to be applied based on the amounts remaining 

available to the States after this rescission has been carried out. 

COMMUNITY SERVICE EMPLOYMENT FOR OLDER AMERICANS

The conference agreement includes $530,900,000 for Community Service Employment for Older Americans as proposed by the 

House, instead of $483,611,000 as proposed by the Senate. This 

amount covers the second increment of the Federal minimum wage 

increase, from $5.85 to $6.55 an hour, for program participants. 

STATE UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE AND EMPLOYMENT SERVICE

OPERATIONS

The conference agreement includes $3,377,506,000 for State 

Unemployment Insurance and Employment Service Operations, instead of $3,382,614,000 as proposed by the House and 

$3,386,632,000 as proposed by the Senate. The detailed table at the 

end of this joint statement reflects the activity distribution agreed 

to by the conferees. 

The conference agreement includes language not included in 

the House or Senate bills that allows the Secretary of Labor to 

make payments on behalf of the States for matching Unemployment Insurance (UI) claims information against the information in 

the National Directory of New Hires to prevent, detect, and collect 

improper UI payments. States are required to reimburse the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) for the reasonable 

costs incurred in providing the information. Allowing the Secretary 

to aggregate such amounts and provide a payment to HHS covering 

the costs of all States will not affect the share of UI administrative 

funds available to each State, but will provide a more cost-effective 

means through which the required reimbursements are to be paid. 

For Employment Service grants to States, the conference 

agreement includes $715,883,000 as proposed by the Senate, instead of $725,883,000 as proposed by the House. This includes 

$22,883,000 in general funds and $693,000,000 from the Unemployment Trust Fund. For Employment Service National Activities, the 


hmoore on PRODPC68 with HMRPT
93 

conference agreement includes $32,766,000 as proposed by the 

House instead of $34,000,000 as proposed by the Senate. This includes $12,740,000 for foreign labor certification programs. 

For workforce information, national electronic tools and onestop system building, the conference agreement provides 

$52,985,000 as proposed by the House, instead of $55,985,000 as 

proposed by the Senate. Within this amount, the conferees direct 

that workforce information grants to the States be funded at no 

less than $32,430,000 as proposed by the House. 

For Work Incentive Grants, the conference report provides 

$14,649,000 instead of $9,757,000 as proposed by the House and 

$19,541,000 as proposed by the Senate. The conferees direct the 

Department to ensure that all States that wish to participate in 

this program receive funding for new or continuation grants to support their disability navigator programs. 

PROGRAM ADMINISTRATION

The conference agreement includes $176,662,000 for Program 

Administration, instead of $170,500,000 as proposed by the House 

and $185,505,000 as proposed by the Senate. The detailed table at 

the end of this joint statement reflects the activity distribution 

agreed to by the conferees. Within the amount for employment security activities, the conference agreement includes not less than 

$43,500,000 to improve the timeliness and quality of processing applications under the foreign labor certification program. 

EMPLOYEE BENEFITS SECURITY ADMINISTRATION

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

The conference agreement includes $142,925,000 for the Employee Benefits Security Administration, as proposed by the House 

instead of $143,262,000 as proposed by the Senate. The detailed 

table at the end of this joint statement reflects the activity distribution agreed to by the conferees. The conferees request a briefing on the schedule for the completion of the EFAST2 system prior 

to the announcement of the availability of funds for its development and regular progress reports on this project. The conferees 

are also in agreement that EBSA should devote resources to the 

issuance of regulations on meaningful and uniform reporting of 

401(k) fees and that a national education program on 401(k) investment options, fees and conflict of interest be created as described 

in House Report 110–231. 

PENSION BENEFIT GUARANTY CORPORATION

PENSION BENEFIT GUARANTY CORPORATION FUND

The conference agreement includes $411,151,000 for the administrative expenses of the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, as proposed by both the House and the Senate. The conference 

agreement includes language in the House bill providing for workload driven increases in management fees based on increases in assets received by the Corporation as a result of new plan terminations, after approval by the Office of Management and Budget 


hmoore on PRODPC68 with HMRPT

and notification of the Committees on Appropriations of the House 

of Representatives and the Senate. 

EMPLOYMENT STANDARDS ADMINISTRATION

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

The conference agreement includes $437,508,000 for the Employment Standards Administration, salaries and expenses, instead 

of $436,508,000 as proposed by the House and $438,508,000 as proposed by the Senate. The detailed table at the end of this joint 

statement reflects the activity distribution agreed to by the conferees. 

For the enforcement of wage and hour standards, the conference agreement provides $183,365,000, instead of $182,365,000 

as proposed by the House and $184,365,000 as proposed by the 

Senate. The additional $1,000,000 is provided for accelerating 

start-up of a system to resolve claims of injury caused by asbestos 

exposure. If the authority for an asbestos claims program is not enacted by June 30, 2008, these additional funds may be used to support wage and hour enforcement in low wage industries. 

The conference agreement includes a rescission of $102,000,000 

in unobligated funds collected pursuant to section 286(v) of the Immigration and Nationality Act. The House and the Senate proposed 

a rescission of $70,000,000; however, information received from the 

Department of Labor indicates that receipts in this account allow 

a higher amount to be rescinded while still ensuring that the 

$5,500,000 the Department estimates it will use in fiscal year 2008 

under current authority remains available. 

ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES, ENERGY EMPLOYEES

OCCUPATIONAL ILLNESS COMPENSATION FUND

(INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

Within the total provided, the conference agreement includes a 

proviso transferring $4,500,000 to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health for use by the Advisory Board on Radiation and Worker Health. While both the House and the Senate included this provision, the House report specified that the amount 

be in addition to $55,358,000 identified for transfer to the Department of Health and Human Services. The conferees clarify that the 

$4,500,000 for the Advisory Board on Radiation and Worker Health 

is a part of the total transfer amount. The Board is a key component of the administration of the program at NIOSH and the conferees expect that it will be funded at the level provided for in the 

conference agreement. 

OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH ADMINISTRATION

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

The conference agreement includes $500,568,000 for the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), instead of 

$503,516,000 as proposed by the House and $498,445,000 as proposed by the Senate. The detailed table at the end of this joint 


hmoore on PRODPC68 with HMRPT
95 

statement reflects the activity distribution agreed to by the conferees. 

For Federal Enforcement, the conference agreement includes 

$190,128,000 as proposed by the House, instead of $188,005,000 as 

proposed by the Senate, and for Federal Compliance Assistance, 

the conference agreement includes $72,659,000 as proposed by the 

Senate, instead of $75,566,000 as proposed by the House. The conferees believe that it is important to rebuild the Federal enforcement capacity of OSHA and that the agency should collect data 

needed to evaluate the effectiveness of voluntary compliance programs before additional investments are made to support this approach. 

The conference agreement includes language proposed by the 

House requiring the Secretary of Labor to provide detailed reports 

on the development and issuance of certain occupational safety and 

health standards that have remained on the OSHA regulatory 

agenda without completion. The Senate had a similar provision in 

its report, but not in the bill. 

The conferees are concerned that the Department has failed to 

make sufficient progress on its comprehensive plan to address ergonomic injuries and requests that a report be provided to the Committees on Appropriations of the House of Representatives and the 

Senate within 30 days of enactment of this Act detailing the specific steps it will take to complete the issuance of all 16 industry 

guidelines. In addition to a timetable for the completion of the industry guidelines, the report should contain OSHA’s plans for increased enforcement on ergonomic and musculoskeletal injuries. 

The conferees are also concerned by OSHA’s lack of action to 

ensure that health care workers and emergency responders will be 

adequately protected in the event of an influenza pandemic. The 

conferees note that the Department believes that in order to issue 

an emergency standard to protect these workers, the United States 

needs to be in the midst of an influenza pandemic and urges reconsideration of the standard-setting actions that can be taken on an 

emergency or expedited basis. Within 30 days of enactment of this 

Act, the conferees request a report to the Committees on Appropriations of the House of Representatives and the Senate detailing 

the timeline for developing and issuing a standard. 

The conferees are also concerned by the inadequate response 

to the serious health hazards posed by industrial exposure to the 

chemical diacetyl, a butter flavoring agent used in microwave popcorn and other foods. Despite documented cases of a debilitating 

and potentially fatal lung disease, OSHA has not moved swiftly 

enough to protect workers from this hazard. The conferees urge 

OSHA to reconsider its decision concerning an emergency standard, 

and direct that at a minimum a permanent standard should be developed on an expedited basis. Within 30 days of enactment of this 

Act, the conferees expect OSHA to provide a report to the Committees on Appropriations of the House of Representatives and the 

Senate detailing its anticipated timeline for issuing such a standard, as well as providing the details of a national emphasis program that will extend enforcement activities to all food manufacturing and flavoring plants where diacetyl is used.

MINE SAFETY AND HEALTH ADMINISTRATION

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

The conference agreement includes $339,893,000 for the Mine 

Safety and Health Administration (MSHA), instead of $340,028,000 

as proposed by the Senate or $313,478,000 as proposed by the 

House. The detailed table at the end of this joint statement reflects 

the activity distribution agreed to by the conferees. 

The conferees are disturbed that MSHA has fallen significantly 

short of its obligation to complete 100 percent of regular inspections of coal mines, as required by law. In 2006, almost 5 of every 

100 regular inspections nationally were not completed. In some districts, the rates were close to 15 or 20 of every 100 inspections that 

were not completed. The conferees find these results unacceptable. 

The conference agreement provides MSHA with an increase of 

$37,024,000 over fiscal year 2007 resources to ensure that MSHA 

can carry out its legal obligations to regularly inspect our nation’s 

coal mines. Together with increased funding for standards development, educational policy and development, and technical support, 

the conferees believe that the additional funds provided are sufficient to ensure that MSHA completes all of its inspection responsibilities, as well as complies with other statutory requirements of 

this Act and the MINER Act. 

The conferees direct that, not later than 30 days after enactment of this Act, MSHA provide to the Committees on Appropriations of the House of Representatives and the Senate a detailed operating plan describing how these funds will be utilized and the 

specific outcomes that will be achieved. The conferees concur with 

Senate Report 110–107 regarding the priority use of these additional funds and expect MSHA to adhere to these when preparing 

the required operating plan. 

Within the amount provided for MSHA Program Administration, the conference agreement includes $2,200,000 for a national 

project award to the United Mine Workers of America for classroom 

and simulated rescue training for mine rescue teams, and 

$1,215,000 for the Wheeling Jesuit University National Technology 

Transfer Center. 

BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

The conference agreement includes $566,804,000 for the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), instead of $576,118,000 as proposed 

by the House and $560,000,000 as proposed by the Senate. The detailed table at the end of this joint statement reflects the activity 

distribution agreed to by the conferees. 

The conference agreement includes $185,796,000 for Prices and 

Cost of Living, instead of $192,599,000 as proposed by the House 

and $178,992,000 as proposed by the Senate. The conferees expect 

that the increase above fiscal year 2007 will be used for continuous 

updating of the housing and geographic area samples of the Consumer Price Index (CPI). The conference agreement does not include $450,000 as proposed by the House to begin the development 


hmoore on PRODPC68 with HMRPT
97 

of a methodology to determine cost of living by State. The Senate 

did not include a similar provision. 

Included in the amount for Compensation and Working Condi- tions is $1,000,000 to conduct focused research studies on workrelated injuries and illnesses as proposed by the Senate, instead of 

$1,225,000 as proposed by the House for this purpose. 

The conferees are interested in ascertaining the impact of the 

North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) on employment 

in the United States. When NAFTA was debated in the U.S. Congress, there were estimates that implementation of the agreement 

would result in the net creation of 200,000 new U.S. jobs, and that 

job losses in the United States as a consequence of NAFTA would 

be concentrated in low-skill sectors. The conferees direct the Department of Labor, through BLS, to issue a report within 365 days 

of enactment of this Act, assessing the number of U.S. jobs, on an 

industry-by-industry basis, that were created as a consequence of 

NAFTA, and the number of U.S. jobs, on an industry-by-industry 

basis, that were lost as a consequence of NAFTA. The study should 

encompass the period from the date of implementation of NAFTA 

to December 31, 2007. Neither the House nor Senate report contained similar language. 

OFFICE OF DISABILITY EMPLOYMENT POLICY

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

The conference agreement includes $27,712,000 for the Office 

of Disability Employment Policy (ODEP), as proposed by the House 

and the Senate. The conferees intend that at least 80 percent of 

these funds shall be used to design and implement research and 

technical assistance grants and contracts to develop policy that reduces barriers to employment for youth and adults with disabilities. 

The conferees are concerned by the lack of available information regarding the extent to which effective disability employment 

policy developed by the ODEP has been implemented within the 

Department of Labor and by other Federal agencies whose programs provide services to all job seekers and workers, including 

those with disabilities. Therefore, the conferees direct the Secretary 

of Labor, working through the Assistant Secretary for Disability 

Employment Policy, to provide a report to the Committees on Appropriations of the House of Representatives and the Senate. This 

report shall be provided to the Committees and published on the 

Department’s web site no later than June 30, 2008. 

The conferees expect this report to identify and recommend 

policies the ODEP has developed during its history that have been 

or should be implemented within the Department of Labor or by 

other relevant Federal agencies. Further, the report should describe the cause-and-effect relationship that these policies have had 

on reducing barriers to employment for adults and youths with disabilities. The conferees also request that the report summarize how 

funds have been spent by ODEP since its inception. The conferees 

expect the report to show how ODEP has utilized its resources, including on staff expertise, grants, and contracts, to develop policy 

to reduce barriers to employment.

DEPARTMENTAL MANAGEMENT

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

The conference agreement includes $305,174,000 for Departmental Management, salaries and expenses, instead of 

$272,595,000 as proposed by the House and $313,218,000 as proposed by the Senate. The undistributed reductions in both the 

House and Senate bills are not included. The detailed table at the 

end of this joint statement reflects the activity distribution agreed 

to by the conferees. The conference agreement includes $82,516,000 as proposed by 

the Senate for the International Bureau of Labor Affairs (ILAB), 

instead of $72,516,000 as proposed by the House. Within this 

amount, the conference agreement contains $5,000,000 as proposed 

in the House bill to implement model programs to address worker 

rights through technical assistance in countries with which the 

United States has trade preference programs and directs that this 

activity be carried out through a cooperative agreement with an 

international organization that has experience in working to assure 

adherence to a set of core labor standards through work with governments, employers and labor. The Senate had no similar provision. The conferees’ recommendation for ILAB also includes 

$41,000,000 for the U.S. contribution to the International Program 

for the Elimination of Child Labor and $24,000,000 for bilateral assistance to improve access to basic education in international areas 

with a high rate of abusive and exploitative child labor. The Senate 

provided $42,610,000 and $26,770,000 respectively for these activities. The House had no similar provisions. 

The conferees are deeply concerned about the recent discovery 

of abusive and exploitative child labor by a subcontractor based in 

India embroidering women’s garments for a major U.S. apparel 

company. These children, some as young as ten, were forced from 

their parents, denied wages, forced to work long hours, and forced 

to live in squalor. Official Indian government estimates indicate 

that there are around 12 million children working in hazardous 

conditions. However, non-governmental organizations working on 

eradicating child labor believe that there are close to 60 million 

child laborers, including approximately 10 million child bonded laborers. While this major U.S. apparel company has 90 inspectors 

that travel around the world trying to ensure that their codes of 

conduct are not violated, it is a difficult and daunting task given 

the high prevalence of exploitative child labor and the non-existence of an industry wide monitoring system for the garment industry in India. Therefore, the conferees direct the Department to 

work with the International Labor Organization in an effort to implement standards similar to those used in the Cambodian and 

Bangladeshi garment industries to ensure that U.S. consumer

$12,000,000 as a direct appropriation to the Working Capital Fund 

for this initiative.

of the Solicitor, instead of $94,937,000 as proposed by the House

For the Women’s Bureau, the conference agreement includes 

$10,300,000 as proposed by the Senate, instead of $10,500,000 as

women in the workplace through education and advocacy. 

OFFICE OF JOB CORPS

The conference agreement funds this program within the Office 

of the Secretary as proposed by the House and the Senate. This reflects the current organizational status of the program, and the 

funds for the administration of this program are included in this 

account instead of within program administration for the Employment and Training Administration, as indicated in the detailed 

table at the end of this joint statement. 

The conference agreement includes $1,650,516,000 for the Office of Job Corps, instead of $1,649,476,000 as proposed by the 

House and $1,659,872,000 as provided by the Senate. Within the 

total, $1,507,684,000 is provided for continuing operations of the 

program, as proposed by the House, instead of $1,516,000,000 as 

proposed by the Senate. For renovation and construction of Job 

Corps centers, the conference agreement includes $113,960,000, instead of $112,920,000 as proposed by the House and $115,000,000 

as proposed by the Senate. The conference agreement does not include the designation of funds for a competition to increase child 

care development centers on Job Corps campuses as proposed by 

the House, and instead designates the $13,960,000 above the request for renovation and construction for the continued development of new Job Corps centers that have been awarded and are not 

yet completed. The conferees request that the Department of Labor 

include an analysis of the future funding needs of all new centers 

in development and a progress report on the timeline for opening 

new centers in its fiscal year 2009 budget justification, as proposed 

by the Senate. 

The conference agreement includes bill language proposed by 

the Senate requiring that none of the funds in the Act be used to 

reduce student training slots below 44,791 in program year 2008. 

This slot level and the funds provided will support the maintenance 

of student training services at existing Job Corps centers, as well 

as provide for new centers scheduled to open in program year 2008. 

The House bill contained a similar provision.

the Department to direct additional funds to the Transition Assistance Program, which will ensure that the increasing demand for 

services is met. The conferees also expect the Department to increase enforcement activities to ensure that veterans’ rights under 

the Uniformed Service Employment and Re-Employment Rights 

Act and Veterans Employment Opportunities Act are being protected.

account.

foreign workers that generate these funds. The conferees expect 

that these activities will include industry career ladder programs 

and understand that there are some related activities that enhance 

or facilitate training programs that are part of a coordinated industry approach. The conference agreement provides that this limitation shall not apply to multi-year grants that have already been 

awarded under competitive solicitations issued prior to April 15,

for the Health Coverage Tax Credit. The Senate bill contained no

make grants available to States from the Dislocated Worker National Reserve for this purpose and to increase outreach to tradeimpacted workers to inform them of their eligibility for the Health 

Coverage Tax Credit.

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT

The conference agreement includes a provision as proposed by 

the House requiring the Secretary of Labor to promulgate a final

significance (SPRANS). The Senate bill provided $95,936,920 for 

this purpose; the House provided $170,991,000. 

The conference agreement designates in bill language

Senate. The House did not designate funds for CISS grants in bill 

language.

State health access grants, instead of $75,000,000 as proposed by 

the House, for the same purposes as indicated in the House report.

The conferees restate the intention in the Senate report that 

National Health Service Corps recruitment funds should be used 

only to support multi-year, rather than single year, commitments.

training programs, of which $5,000,000 is for grants to States authorized under section 340G of the Public Health Service Act to improve access to dental care, $1,980,000 is allocated to the chiropractic-medical school demonstration grants, and $1,980,000 is designated for the psychology training program. The Senate provided 

$7,960,000 for allied health programs and the House provided 

$3,960,000. 

The conferees have included $6,700,000 for resources to help 

women preparing for childbirth and first-time parents. Within this 

amount, the conferees intend that $5,200,000 shall be for grants to 

States to increase public awareness of resources available to 

women preparing for childbirth and new parents through advertising campaigns and toll-free hotlines. The House provided 

$15,000,000 for this activity, which was not funded by the Senate. 

In addition, $1,500,000 shall be for grants to organizations to support and expand community-based doula activities, including technical assistance, as proposed by the Senate. The House had not 

funded this activity. 

In addition, $5,000,000 of the SPRANS amount will be used to 

continue oral health demonstration programs and activities in the 

States, instead of $4,801,500 as proposed by the Senate. The House 

proposed $12,000,000 for oral health activities including these oral 

health demonstrations as well as State grants under section 340G 

of the Public Health Service Act. In addition to this SPRANS funding, the conferees have provided $5,000,000 for section 340G State 

grants within allied health. 

The conference agreement also includes within the SPRANS 

set-aside $4,000,000 to continue epilepsy demonstrations instead of 

$5,800,000 as proposed by the House and $2,880,900 as proposed 

by the Senate. 

The conference agreement includes $4,000,000 within SPRANS 

to continue the sickle cell newborn screening program and its locally based outreach and counseling efforts, as proposed by the 

House. The Senate proposed $3,841,200 for this program. 

The conference agreement provides $3,000,000 within the 

SPRANS set-aside to continue newborn and child screening for 

heritable disorders instead of $3,800,000 as proposed by the House 

and $1,920,600 as proposed by the Senate. 

The conference agreement provides $37,000,000 for a separate 

program for autism and other related developmental disorders, as 

proposed by the Senate. The House proposed $30,000,000 within 

the Maternal and Child Health block grant SPRANS set-aside for 

these activities. The conferees intend that no less than $6,000,000 

be used to continue and expand the Leadership Education in 

Neurodevelopmental and Related Disabilities program. In addition, 

no less than $6,000,000 is provided for research on evidence-based

The conferees identify $3,200,000 within traumatic brain injury funding for protection and advocacy services, instead of 

$3,400,000 identified in the Senate report. The House report did 

not have similar language. 

The conferees are pleased that HRSA intends to allocate the 

maximum authorized level for the minority AIDS initiative within 

the Ryan White HIV programs. 

The conferees intend that at least fifty percent of the increase 

within the Ryan White children, youth, women, and families programs be used to increase average grant award size. 

The conferees are aware that HRSA has issued proposed regulations revising the requirements for the 340B drug purchasing 

program. While there are important elements in the regulations 

that target abuses of the program, the conferees believe there are 

legitimate concerns regarding the implementation of the proposed 

rule’s definition of patient eligibility. The questions of eligibility 

and the means by which eligibility is determined are important and 

should be carefully considered. Therefore, the conferees urge HRSA 

to move quickly to implement the portions of the regulation that 

enjoy wide support and consider re-opening the patient eligibility 

question for an additional public comment period. The House and 

Senate included similar report language. 

The conference agreement includes $38,538,000 for rural flexibility grants as proposed by the Senate rather than $63,538,000 as 

proposed by the House, and provides $15,000,000 within the total 

for the small rural hospital improvement grant program as proposed by the Senate. 

The conferees concur with guidance in the Senate report about 

the 2006 Delta health initiative satisfying the requirements of the 

authorization provided in section 219. The House report did not 

contain similar language. 

The conference agreement includes $2,500,000 for rural and 

community access to emergency devices, of which $200,000 shall be 

used to establish an information clearinghouse that provides information to increase public access to defibrillation in schools, as proposed by the Senate. The House provided $2,000,000 for this program, while the Senate provided $3,000,000. The conferees intend 

that funding for emergency devices be divided equally between 

urban and rural communities, as proposed by the Senate. 

The conferees note that many rural hospitals are working to 

implement systems to transmit medical information electronically 

to help deliver efficient and effective health care services to their 

patients. The conferees hope that HRSA will continue to examine 

ways to help such hospitals implement digital technologies, such as 

picture archiving communications systems and other digital technologies. 

The conference agreement includes $143,596,000 for program 

management instead of $142,191,000 as provided by the House and 

$145,000,000 as provided by the Senate. The conferees expect 

HRSA to use no more than one percent of the funds allocated for 

projects for agency administrative expenses.

VACCINE INJURY COMPENSATION PROGRAM TRUST FUND

The conference agreement provides $6,000,000 for administration for the Trust Fund instead of $3,528,000 as proposed by both 

the House and the Senate. These funds are necessary to support 

the adjudication of an expected high volume of claims. 

CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION

DISEASE CONTROL, RESEARCH, AND TRAINING

The conference agreement includes $6,288,289,000 for disease 

control, research, and training at the Centers for Disease Control 

and Prevention (CDC), instead of $6,138,253,000 as proposed by 

the House and $6,165,338,000 as proposed by the Senate. In addition, $327,022,000 is made available under section 241 of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act, instead of $319,579,000 as proposed 

by the House and $269,664,000 as proposed by the Senate. The detailed table at the end of this joint statement reflects the activity 

distribution agreed to by the conferees. 

The conference agreement includes bill language designating 

$147,000,000 for equipment, construction, and renovation of facilities, instead of $10,500,000 as proposed by the House and 

$220,000,000 as proposed by the Senate. The conference agreement 

includes bill language to allow CDC to enter into a single contract 

or related contracts for the full scope of development and construction of facilities and that the solicitation and contract shall contain 

the clause ‘‘availability of funds’’ as proposed by the Senate. The 

House did not propose similar language. The level provided includes sufficient funds for the completion of building 24 and for 

other nationwide repairs and improvements. 

The conference agreement includes bill language designating 

$52,500,000 to provide screening and treatment for first response 

emergency services personnel, residents, students, and others related to the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the World 

Trade Center. The conferees intend that this program be administered by the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health 

(NIOSH). The House had proposed $50,000,000 in CDC for first response emergency personnel only and the Senate had proposed 

$55,000,000 in the Public Health and Social Services Emergency 

Fund (PHSSEF) to be transferred to CDC for responders, residents, 

students and others. 

The conference agreement includes bill language designating 

$116,550,000 for the National Center for Health Statistics surveys 

to be available through the evaluation set-aside authorized by section 241 of the PHS Act, instead of $120,000,000 as proposed by 

the House and $108,585,000 as proposed by the Senate. Also within 

the set-aside, the conference agreement includes $44,523,000 for 

Health Marketing instead of $39,173,000 as proposed by the House 

and $463,000 for health marketing evaluations as proposed by the 

Senate and $97,404,000 to carry out research activities within the 

National Occupational Research Agenda instead of $91,861,000 as 

proposed by the House and $92,071,000 as proposed by the Senate. 

The conference agreement includes bill language that not to 

exceed $19,414,000 may be available for making grants for the 


hmoore on PRODPC68 with HMRPT

WISEWOMAN program to not less than 15 States, tribes, or tribal 

organizations. The Senate proposed $19,035,000 in this same manner and the House proposed $12,500,000 to not more than 15 

States, tribes, or tribal organizations. 

The conference agreement includes bill language that out of 

the funds made available for domestic HIV/AIDS testing, up to 

$30,000,000 shall be for States eligible for the Early Diagnosis 

Grant Program, authorized by section 2625 of the Public Health 

Service Act, as of December 31, 2007. Funding for these grants 

shall be distributed by March 31, 2008 based on standard criteria 

relating to a State’s epidemiological profile and shall not exceed 

$1,000,000 for any one State. Any amounts that have not been obligated by March 31, 2008 shall be used to make grants to States 

and local public health departments for other HIV prevention activities. The House proposed that no funds appropriated may be 

used to implement the Early Diagnosis Grant Program and the 

Senate proposed to allow up to $30,000,000 for the program if 

States are eligible. 

The conference agreement includes bill language providing 

that employees of the CDC or the Public Health Service, detailed 

to States, municipalities, or other organizations under authority of 

section 214 of the PHS Act or in overseas assignments shall be 

treated as non-Federal employees for reporting purposes only and 

shall not be included within any personnel ceiling applicable to the 

Agency as proposed by the Senate. The House included similar language but did not include employees in overseas assignments. 

The conference agreement includes ongoing pandemic influenza and related activities in the CDC appropriation as proposed 

by the House. The Senate proposed to fund these activities in 

PHSSEF to be transferred to CDC. 

The conferees note that in September 2007, CDC realigned its 

budget through a reprogramming and transfer of funds at the program, project, and activity level. The Secretary communicated his 

intent that the realignment of funds be permanent. Funding levels 

proposed in the House- and Senate-passed bills did not reflect these 

changes because the request for reprogramming came after initial 

House and Senate Committee action on the fiscal year 2008 appropriations bills. Funding levels provided in the conference agreement make the funding realignment permanent. The conferees expect CDC to adhere to enacted funding levels in fiscal year 2008 

and to not tap or assess program activities for unrelated purposes. 

INFECTIOUS DISEASES

The conference agreement includes $1,848,601,000 for Infectious Diseases, instead of $1,900,508,000 as proposed by the House

$12,794,000 is available to carry out National Immunization Surveys to be derived from section 241 evaluation set-aside funds as 

proposed by both the House and Senate.

strains instead of $19,800,000 as proposed by the House and 

$20,000,000 as proposed by the Senate and $14,849,000 to increase 

the stock of diagnostic reagents for influenza instead of

by the Senate.

Within the total for Infectious Diseases, the conference agreement includes $1,024,070,000 for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD,

Promotion, instead of $1,002,212,000 as proposed by the House and 

$982,876,000 as proposed by the Senate. 

Chronic Disease Prevention, Health Promotion, and Genomics 

Within the total for Health Promotion, the conference agreement includes $861,123,000 for chronic disease prevention, health 

promotion, and genomics instead of $869,479,000 as proposed by 

the House and $854,180,000 as proposed by the Senate. 

Within the total for chronic disease prevention, health promotion, and genomics, the conference agreement includes 

$50,993,000 for heart disease and stroke, instead of $48,744,000 as 

proposed by the House and $51,744,000 as proposed by the Senate. 

Within this amount, the conferees have provided $1,500,000 to continue and expand activities in the Mississippi Delta related to the 

burden of chronic diseases instead of $2,000,000 as proposed by the

additional funds will enable an expansion of these activities 

throughout the Mississippi Delta region. 

Within the total for chronic disease prevention, health promotion, and genomics, the conference agreement includes

Patient Registry to operate seven sites, including a coordinating 

site. The House proposed $930,000 for lupus-related activities and 

the Senate proposed $1,430,000. The conferees are concerned by 

the lack of reliable epidemiological data on the incidence and prevalence of all forms of lupus among various ethnic and racial groups. 

These sites should have an expertise in lupus epidemiology and 

represent the geographic regions of the United States that have a 

sufficient number of individuals of racial and ethnic groups that 

are disproportionately affected by lupus, principally African Americans, Hispanics/Latinos, Asian Americans, and Native Americans. 

Within the total for chronic disease prevention, health promotion, and genomics, the conference agreement includes 

$104,016,000 to expand tobacco-related activities, instead of 

$104,347,000 as proposed by the House and $106,347,000 as proposed by the Senate. The conferees concur with Senate report language intending that the increase for the Office of Smoking and

proposed by the House and $1,177,997,000 as proposed by the Senate. 

The conference agreement does not include language proposed 

by the Senate regarding the prohibition of funds to pay indirect expenses for general research support grants. This provision is no 

longer necessary. The House bill did not contain a similar provision. 

The agreement provides the Administration request for clinical 

and translational science awards, with funding split between the 

Common Fund and NCRR in the same proportions as the Senatepassed bill. The conferees remain supportive of this program as it 

matures, but are concerned about the abrupt changes in program 

funding policies implemented in 2007.

NATIONAL LIBRARY OF MEDICINE

The conference agreement provides $329,039,000 for the National Library of Medicine instead of $325,484,000 as proposed by 

the House and $327,817,000 as proposed by the Senate. In addition, $8,200,000 is provided from section 241 authority as proposed 

by both the House and Senate. 

OFFICE OF THE DIRECTOR

The conference agreement includes $1,145,790,000 for the Office of the Director as proposed by the Senate instead of 

$1,114,422,000 as proposed by the House. The bill identifies 

$531,300,000 for the Common Fund as proposed by the Senate instead of $495,153,000 as proposed by the House. This Common 

Fund amount represents 1.77 percent of total funding for NIH, 

meeting the statutory requirement that the Common Fund percentage of the total NIH appropriation at least equal the share of total 

NIH funding the Common Fund represented during the prior year. 

In fiscal year 2007, the Common Fund represented 1.67 percent of 

total NIH funding. 

The conference agreement also provides $25,000,000 in bill language for the flexible research authority authorized in section 215

The conference agreement does not include language proposed 

by the House regarding the amount identified for the Common 

Fund being in addition to funds allocated by the institutes for activities that are related to Fund activities. The Senate bill did not 

have similar language. 

The conference agreement provides funding for a 2.5 percent 

increase in the average cost of new grants and for committed levels 

for existing grants. The Senate report indicated that sufficient 

funds were included to pay full committed levels on existing grants 

and to provide a 3 percent increase in the average cost of new 

grants. The House report provided sufficient funding for a 2 percent increase in the average cost of new grants, but did not include 

an assumption about commitment levels for existing grants. 

The conference agreement includes sufficient funds to provide 

an average 2.2 percent increase in research training stipends. The 

House bill assumed a two percent average increase for stipends; 

the Senate did not identify a specific level. 

The conference agreement provides the same funding as the 

fiscal year 2007 level for the following programs: Director’s Pioneer 

awards, Pathways to Independence awards, New Innovator awards, 

and Bridge awards. The House provided similar amounts for these 

programs. The Senate provided similar amounts for all the programs except Pathways to Independence, for which the Senate did 

not identify a funding level. 

The conference agreement includes $96,130,000 for research on 

chemical, radiological and nuclear countermeasures as proposed by 

the Senate instead of $95,310,000 as proposed by the House. 

The conference agreement provides up to $10,000,000 for the 

Director’s Discretionary Fund as proposed by the House. The Senate did not specifically identify funding for the Discretionary Fund.

notify the House and Senate Appropriations Committees each time 

the Director uses the one percent transfer authority provided in the 

NIH reauthorization. 

BUILDINGS AND FACILITIES

The conference agreement includes $130,000,000 for Buildings and Facilities instead of $121,081,000 as proposed by the House 

and the Senate.

is provided through budget authority and $124,663,000 is provided 

through the evaluation set-aside. The House proposed 

$3,393,841,000 for the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), of which $120,913,000 was from 

the evaluation set-aside and the Senate proposed $3,404,798,000, of 

which $126,663,000 was from the evaluation set-aside. The detailed 

table at the end of this joint statement reflects the activity distribution agreed to by the conferees. 

The conference agreement includes bill language, as proposed 

by the Senate, that permits a State to receive more than one grant 

or cooperative agreement for youth suicide early intervention and 

prevention strategies. 

Within the total provided, the conference agreement includes $123,023,000 for activities throughout SAMHSA that are targeted 

to address the growing HIV/AIDS epidemic and its disparate impact on communities of color, including African Americans, Latinos, 

Native Americans, Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific 

Islanders. The House proposed $128,514,000 for these activities. 

The Senate did not include similar language. 

Within the total provided, the conference agreement includes $56,735,000 for activities throughout SAMHSA to address the 

needs of the homeless. The House proposed $57,123,000 for these 

activities. The Senate did not include similar language. 

Within the total provided, the conference agreement includes $3,520,000 for treatment programs for mental illness and substance abuse for tribes and tribal organizations instead of

similar language.

The conference agreement includes a program level total of 

$428,256,000 for the mental health block grant, as proposed by the 

Senate, instead of $441,256,000 as proposed by the House. Within 

this total, $21,413,000 is provided through the evaluation set-aside 

as proposed by both the House and Senate. 

The conference agreement includes $304,668,000 for programs 

of regional and national significance instead of $277,030,000 as 

proposed by the House and $298,217,000 as proposed by the Senate.

Within the total provided for mental health programs of regional and national significance, the conference agreement includes 

$94,656,000 to continue and expand violence prevention programs 

in schools, including the Safe Schools/Healthy Students interdepartmental program, instead of $96,156,000 as proposed by the 

House and $93,156,000 as proposed by the Senate. Included within 

this amount, the conference agreement provides $1,500,000 for a 

jointly funded initiative administered by the Department of Education and SAMHSA to support competitive grants to institutions 

of higher education to develop and implement emergency management plans for preventing campus violence. The House proposed 

$3,000,000 for this initiative. The Senate did not propose similar 

language. 

Within the total for mental health programs of regional and 

national significance, the conference agreement includes 

$33,680,000 for the National Child Traumatic Stress Initiative instead of $32,360,000 as proposed by the House and $35,000,000 as 

proposed by the Senate. In funding new grants, the conferees direct 

SAMHSA to give high priority to centers providing services in 

areas impacted by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita and who have previous experience in providing such services. 

Within the total for mental health programs of regional and national significance, the conference agreement includes $7,500,000 

for a wellness initiative, instead of $15,000,000 as proposed by the 

Senate, to assist local communities in the coordination and improvement of the integration of behavioral/mental and physical 

health services. In carrying out this wellness initiative, the conferees expect SAMHSA to collaborate with HRSA and CDC. The 

conferees intend that funding provided will allow local communities 

to undertake a range of prevention and health promotion activities 

and expect that grantees must be able to evaluate the success of 

the program based on their ability to provide evidence-based services. The House did not propose funding for this initiative. 

For programs addressing youth suicide prevention and early 

intervention programs within the mental health programs of regional and national significance, the conference agreement includes: 

$30,000,000 for grants to States and tribes as proposed by the 

Senate—the House did not include similar language; 

$5,000,000 for campus-based programs as proposed by the Senate—the House did not include similar language; and, 

$5,000,000 for the Suicide Prevention Resource Center as proposed by the Senate—the House did not include similar language. 

The conferees expect the Center for Mental Health Services to 

support multi-year grants to five consumer and consumer-supported national technical assistance centers as proposed by the 

Senate. The House did not propose similar language. The conference agreement also provides funding at last year’s level for the 

consumer-run statewide networking grants.

Program Management 

The conference agreement includes a program level total of 

$96,719,000 for program management, of which $19,750,000 is provided through the evaluation set-aside. The House proposed 

$92,721,000 for program management, of which $16,000,000 was 

proposed through the evaluation set-aside and the Senate proposed 

$98,719,000, of which $21,750,000 was proposed through the evaluation set-aside. 

Within the evaluation set-aside for program management, the 

conference agreement includes an additional $2,000,000 for the National Survey on Drug Use and Health, rather than an additional 

$4,000,000 as proposed by the Senate. The House did not propose 

similar language. 

Also within the evaluation set-aside for program management, 

the conference agreement includes $1,500,000, as proposed by the 

Senate, to include mental health questions in CDC’s National

to ensure the validity and reliability of the NHIS data. 

AGENCY FOR HEALTHCARE RESEARCH AND QUALITY

HEALTHCARE RESEARCH AND QUALITY

The conference agreement includes a program level of 

$334,564,000 for the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality 

(AHRQ) instead of $329,564,000 as proposed by the House and 

Senate. The agreement makes these funds fully available through 

the policy evaluation set-aside. The House proposed providing 

$282,500,000 of the total for AHRQ through budget authority and 

$47,064,000 through the evaluation set-aside. The Senate proposed 

providing $329,564,000 entirely through budget authority. The detailed table at the end of this joint statement reflects the activity 

distribution agreed to by the conferees. 

Within the funds provided, the conference agreement includes 

$30,000,000 for the comparative effectiveness health care research 

program as proposed by both the House and Senate. Also within 

the funds provided, $5,000,000 is for activities to reduce infections 

for methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus and related infections as proposed by the Senate. The House did not include similar 

language. 

The conferees encourage AHRQ to look favorably on proposals 

that would proactively detect medical errors and preemptively control injury via compact medical devices that acquire, analyze and 

filter data from multiple, disparate, wireless and wired sources. 

The conferees encourage AHRQ to investigate the feasibility of 

an open-source, no-cost license computer model capable of predicting the effects of health care policy alternatives for the purpose 

of improving health care quality and cost-effectiveness. The model 

should be developed with a consortium of university partners and 

be capable of predicting costs and health impacts.

GRANTS TO STATES FOR MEDICAID

proposed by the Senate instead of $2,763,957,000 as proposed by 

the House.

this activity; the Senate bill provided $253,775,000. 

The conference agreement does not include language proposed 

by the Senate providing the Secretary of HHS the authority to 

charge fees associated with the cost of conducting survey and certification revisits of health care facilities that receive Medicare reimbursement. The House bill contained no similar provision. 

The conference agreement includes bill language similar to 

that proposed by the Senate including $5,140,000 for the following 

projects in the following amounts: 

Project Total funding

The conference agreement includes $36,990,000 for research, demonstration, and evaluation instead of $23,070,000 as proposed 

by the House and $35,325,000 as proposed by the Senate. Within 

this total, the conference agreement includes $10,000,000 for Real 

Choice Systems Change Grants to States, as proposed by the Senate. The House bill did not include funding for this purpose. The conference agreement provides $45,000,000 for the State 

Health Insurance Program as proposed by the House instead of 

$35,000,000 as proposed by the Senate. The conference agreement 

provides funds to support the National Center on Senior Benefits 

Outreach and Enrollment within the Administration on Aging rather than in the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services as proposed by the Senate. The House did not provide funding for this 

activity within CMS. 

The conferees request the Government Accountability Office to 

submit a report to Congress by November 30, 2008 (1) assessing 

State efforts to reexamine health care delivery and expand access 

and (2) providing recommendations regarding the potential role of 

Congress in supporting State-based efforts. The Senate proposed a 

similar report in section 228 of H.R. 3043, as passed by the Senate. 

The House had no similar provision. 

The conferees direct the Secretary of HHS to submit a report 

to the Appropriations Committees of the House of Representatives 

and the Senate no later than 30 days after enactment of this Act 

on workers’ compensation set-asides under the Medicare secondary 

payer set-aside provisions under title XVIII of the Social Security 

Act. The Senate proposed a similar report in section 240 of H.R. 

3043, as passed by the Senate. The House had no similar provision. 

The conferees believe that the Secretary of HHS should maintain ‘‘deemed status’’ coverage under the Medicare program for 

clinical trials that are Federally funded or reviewed, as provided 

for by the Executive Memorandum of June 2000. The Senate expressed a similar view in section 241 of H.R. 3043, as passed by 

the Senate. The House had no similar provision. 

The conferees direct CMS to include in the next publication of ‘‘Medicare & You’’ information regarding: (1) the importance of 

writing and updating advance directives and living wills; and (2) 

access to laboratory findings and medical records and encouraging 

patients to be more proactive in asking for copies of these important pieces of health information. 

HEALTH CARE FRAUD AND ABUSE CONTROL ACCOUNT

The conference agreement provides $383,000,000, to be available until expended, from the Medicare trust funds for health care 

fraud and abuse control, as proposed by the Senate. The House proposed the same level of funding but with one-year availability. 

Within this total, the conference agreement provides a different allocation of funding between activities than that provided by the 

House or the Senate. The agreement provides $284,620,000 for 

CMS program integrity activities, including activities authorized 

under the Medicare Integrity Program and $35,000,000 for Medicaid anti-fraud activities. The House and Senate had provided 

$288,480,000 for the Medicare Integrity Program. The HHS Office 

of the Secretary is provided $25,000,000 in the conference agreeVerDate Aug 31 2005 06:30 Nov 10, 2007 Jkt 038651 PO 00000 Frm 00154 Fmt 6601 Sfmt 6601 E:\HR\OC\HR424.XXX HR424

ment rather than $21,140,000 as proposed by the House and Senate. Funding for Medicaid program integrity activities was not included in either the House or Senate bill. 

ADMINISTRATION FOR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES

LOW-INCOME HOME ENERGY ASSISTANCE

The conference agreement includes $2,411,585,000 for low-in- come home energy assistance instead of $2,662,000,000 as proposed 

by the House and $2,161,170,000 as proposed by the Senate. Of the 

amount provided, $1,980,000,000 is provided for formula grants to 

States as proposed by both the House and Senate, and 

$431,585,000 is provided for the contingency fund instead of 

$682,000,000 as proposed by the House and $181,170,000 as proposed by the Senate. 

REFUGEE AND ENTRANT ASSISTANCE

The conference agreement includes $652,394,000 for the ref- ugee and entrant assistance programs instead of $650,630,000 as 

proposed by the House and $654,166,000 as proposed by the Senate. The detailed table at the end of this joint statement reflects 

the activity distribution agreed to by the conferees. 

Within the total for refugee and entrant assistance, the con- ference agreement includes $9,814,000, as proposed by the House, 

for victims of trafficking instead of $9,823,000 as proposed by the 

Senate. The conferees concur with both the House and Senate and 

do not include bill language that would expand the program to include domestic victims of trafficking. 

Within the total for refugee and entrant assistance, the con- ference agreement includes $154,005,000 for social services as proposed by both the House and Senate. Included within this amount, 

$19,000,000 is for support to communities with large concentrations of Cuban and Haitian entrants as proposed by the House. The 

Senate did not include similar language. 

Within the total for refugee and entrant assistance, the con- ference agreement includes $131,399,000 for the unaccompanied 

minors program instead of $129,635,000 as proposed by the House 

and $133,162,000 as proposed by the Senate. As proposed by both 

the House and Senate, the conference agreement does not include 

funds for expanded background checks. After addressing increased 

shelter and medical costs, the conferees direct ORR to use the increase provided for the unaccompanied minors program to expand 

the pro bono legal services initiative, as proposed by both the 

House and Senate. 

PAYMENTS TO STATES FOR THE CHILD CARE AND DEVELOPMENT

BLOCK GRANT

The conference agreement includes $2,094,581,000 for the 

Child Care and Development Block Grant, instead of 

$2,137,081,000 as proposed by the House bill and $2,062,081,000 as 

proposed by the Senate bill. The bill designates $982,080 for the 

Child Care Aware toll-free hotline; this provision was included in 

the House bill. The Senate bill included funds for this purpose but 

did not name the entity. 


hmoore on PRODPC68 with HMRPT
152 

The conference agreement also includes bill language speci- fying $5,000,000 for the Small Business Child Care program. The 

Senate bill provided these funds in a general provision. The House 

bill did not include a similar provision. 

SOCIAL SERVICES BLOCK GRANT

The conference agreement includes bill language allowing 

States to transfer up to 10 percent of Temporary Assistance to 

Needy Families (TANF) funds to the Social Services Block Grant. 

This provision was not included in either the House or the Senate 

bill. 

CHILDREN AND FAMILIES SERVICES PROGRAMS

The conference agreement includes $9,231,195,000 for Children and Families Services Programs, of which $10,500,000 is provided 

through the evaluation set-aside. The House bill proposed 

$9,157,440,000 for these programs and the Senate proposed 

$9,223,832,000. The detailed table at the end of this joint statement reflects the activity distribution agreed to by the conferees. 

Head Start 

The conference agreement includes $7,042,196,000 for Head Start, instead of $6,963,571,000 as proposed by the House and 

$7,088,571,000 as proposed by the Senate. The agreement includes 

$1,388,800,000 in advance funding. 

Consolidated Runaway and Homeless Youth Program 

The conference agreement includes $100,337,000 for the Consolidated Runaway and Homeless Youth Program, instead of 

$97,837,000 as proposed by the House and $102,837,000 as proposed by the Senate. 

Prevention Grants to Reduce Abuse of Runaway Youth 

The conference agreement includes $17,527,000 for prevention grants to reduce abuse of runaway youth, instead of $15,027,000 as 

proposed by the House and $20,027,000 as proposed by the Senate. 

Child Abuse State Grants and Discretionary Activities 

The conference agreement includes $65,033,000 for Child 

Abuse State Grants and child abuse discretionary programs, instead of $63,840,000 as proposed by the House and $64,745,000 as 

proposed by the Senate. Included in this amount is $27,007,000 for State grants, as 

proposed by both the House and the Senate. Within the amount 

provided for State grants, the conferees include $10,000,000 for a 

home visitation initiative to support competitive grants to States to 

encourage investment of existing funding streams into evidencebased home visitation models. The conferees expect that the Administration for Children and Families will ensure that States use 

the funds to support models that have been shown, in well-designed randomized controlled trials, to produce sizeable, sustained 

effects on important child outcomes such as abuse and neglect. The 

conferees also recommend that the funds support activities to assist 

a range of home visitation programs to replicate the techniques 


hmoore on PRODPC68 with HMRPT
153 

that have met these high evidentiary standards. In carrying out 

this new initiative, the conferees instruct the Department to adhere closely to evidence-based models of home visitation and not to 

incorporate any additional initiatives that have not met these high 

evidentiary standards or might otherwise dilute the emphasis on 

home visitation. 

For child abuse discretionary activities, the conference agree- ment provides $38,026,000, instead of $36,833,000 as proposed by 

the House and $37,738,000 as proposed by the Senate. Within the 

funds provided for child abuse discretionary activities, the conference agreement includes the following projects in the following 

amounts: 

Project Total funding 

Boys and Girls Town of Missouri, St. James, MO, to expand services to abused and neglected children 423,000 

Catholic Community Services of Juneau, Juneau, AK, to continue operations at its Family Resource Center for child abuse prevention and treatment in Juneau, Alaska ............................................................ 400,000

Young Women’s Christian Association (YWCA), Williamsport, PA, for abused and neglected children’s 

CASA programs .......................................................................................................................................... 90,000 

Adoption Incentives 

The conference report includes $4,400,000 for the Adoption Incentive Program, rather than $9,500,000 as proposed by both the 

House and the Senate. The decrease reflects available carry-over 

from the previous fiscal year, due to the fact that bonus amounts 

earned by the States have fallen significantly, causing the Department to revise its estimate of funds needed to pay incentives 

earned by the States in fiscal year 2007. 

Adoption Awareness 

The conference agreement includes $13,674,000 for the Adoption Awareness Program, instead of $14,674,000 as proposed by the

tium, Inc., as well as to enhance the resources received by each of

and looks forward to further progress in this area in fiscal year 

2008. 

Within the funds provided for the Office of Minority Health,

have provided sufficient funds for OWH to work with the advocacy 

community to develop and implement a sustained lupus awareness 

and education campaign aimed at reaching health care professionals and the general public with an emphasis on reaching 

women at greatest risk for developing lupus. The agreement also 

includes $1,000,000 for the Institute of Medicine to conduct a comprehensive review of the status of women’s health research, summarize what has been learned about how diseases specifically affect 

women, and report to the Congress on suggestions for the direction 

of future research. 

With regard to Minority HIV/AIDS, the conferees expect that 

activities that are targeted to address the growing HIV/AIDS epidemic and its disproportionate impact upon communities of color, 

including African Americans, Latinos, Native Americans, Asian 

Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders, will be supported at no less than last year’s funding level. 

The conference agreement includes $4,000,000 for the Embryo

$61,302,000 for this activity; the Senate provided a combined total

House, for monitoring, screening, analysis, and medical treatment 

for all individuals who were exposed to the toxins at the World 

Trade Center site. The conference agreement expands the World 

Trade Center monitoring and treatment program administered by 

NIOSH to residents, students, and others, therefore the plan also 

should address how HHS intends to implement this expansion. 

The conferees concur with the House and do not include funding for Security Coordination and Improvement or Healthcare Provider Credentialing within the programs funded through PHSSEF 

administered by the Office of the Secretary. The Senate proposed

Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response 

The conference agreement includes $720,806,000 for the Office 

of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR)

not propose a funding level for ASPR in total, but did propose funding for specific activities within the office. The conference agreement includes bill language designating $22,363,000 for BioShield 

management as proposed by the House instead of $22,338,000 as

$53,000,000 as proposed by both the House and Senate.

Within the PHSSEF total, the conference agreement includes $9,064,000 for an information technology cyber-security program

instead of $948,091,000 as proposed by the House and 

$888,000,000 as proposed by the Senate. Of this amount, the conference agreement provides $685,832,000 to be available until expended instead of $870,000,000 as proposed by the House and 

$652,000,000 as proposed by the Senate. The conference agreement 

includes bill language as proposed by the House, that funds appropriated for pandemic influenza may be transferred to other appropriations accounts of the Department of Health and Human Services. The Senate proposed similar language. 

Within the total for pandemic influenza preparedness, the conference agreement includes $78,091,000, as proposed by the House, 

for ongoing activities instead of $78,000,000 as proposed by the 

Senate.

The conferees continue to support the Department’s pandemic 

influenza preparedness activities and note that approximately 

$1,800,000,000 remains available to be obligated from funds provided in prior appropriations for pandemic influenza preparedness. 

The conferees understand that HHS plans to use a portion of the 

prior appropriations to purchase additional doses of antivirals for 

the Federal stockpile rather than waiting for the fiscal year 2008 

appropriation, which included as part of that request, $248,000,000 

for antiviral purchases. Due to the large unobligated balance for 

vaccine development and other activities and the plans to use prior 

year funds instead of fiscal year 2008 funds for antiviral purchase, 

the conferees are providing less funding than was requested by the 

Administration. 

The conferees concur with the House and provide the ongoing 

pandemic preparedness activities of the CDC within the CDC appropriation. The Senate proposed to fund CDC pandemic flu activities in PHSSEF to be transferred to CDC within 30 days of enactment of this Act. 

COVERED COUNTERMEASURE PROCESS FUND

The conferees concur with the Senate and do not provide an 

appropriation for the Covered Countermeasure Process Fund. The 

House proposed $5,000,000 for this program. 

GENERAL PROVISIONS

ONE PERCENT TRANSFER AUTHORITY

(TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

The conference agreement includes a general provision similar 

to that proposed by the Senate providing the Secretary of HHS 

with the authority to transfer up to 1 percent of discretionary 

funds between a program, project, or activity, but no such program, 

project or activity shall be increased by more than 3 percent by any 

such transfer. This transfer is available only to meet emergency 

needs. The Committees are to be notified 15 days in advance of any 

transfer. The House bill included a similar provision, but allowed 

the authority to transfer between appropriations for unanticipated 

needs. 

COUNCIL ON GRADUATE MEDICAL EDUCATION

The conference agreement includes a general provision proposed by the Senate allowing for the continued operation of the 

Council on Graduate Medical Education. The House bill contained 

no similar provision. 

DELTA HEALTH ALLIANCE AUTHORIZATION

grant to the Delta Health Alliance for research, educational programs, services, job training, and construction of health facilities.

THIMEROSAL IN INFLUENZA VACCINES

The conference agreement includes a requirement that, for the 

2010–2011 influenza season, the Secretary of Health and Human 

Services (HHS) shall not make available any funds for the administration of any influenza vaccine containing thimerosal as a preservative for children under three years of age. The conferees are concerned that, in several surveys, parents have noted fear of vaccines 

containing thimerosal as a reason for not vaccinating their children 

against influenza. Although there is no peer-reviewed scientific evidence linking thimerosal in vaccines to neurodevelopmental disorders, the conferees are nonetheless troubled by low influenza vaccination coverage rates in this population. To improve public confidence in the safety of vaccines, the conference agreement also includes language requiring the Secretary to submit to Congress a 

plan to work proactively with influenza vaccine manufacturers to 

facilitate approval of additional vaccines for children under three 

years of age, to increase Federal purchases of thimerosal-free influenza vaccine, and to take any additional actions to increase the 

supply of thimerosal-free influenza vaccine. 

By enacting this language the conferees do not intend to supersede the judgments of expert scientists and physicians. Additionally, the conferees concur with CDC and its Advisory Committee on 

Immunization Practices that any person for whom the influenza 

vaccine is recommended receive any influenza immunization that is 

FDA-approved for use in that individual. By undertaking the current legislative action, the conferees do not intend to imply that 

vaccines containing thimerosal present more risk and thereby discourage citizens from availing themselves of such vaccines. Moreover, the conferees have granted the Secretary of HHS the authority to put aside the prohibition if the Secretary finds that thimerosal-free influenza vaccine supply is not sufficient to meet demand 

or a public health emergency occurs. 

The House bill proposed prohibiting the use of funds provided 

in this Act to administer to children under three years of age an 

influenza vaccine containing thimerosal during the 2008–2009 influenza season. The Senate did not have a similar provision. 

NIH RESEARCH TRAINING TRANSFER

(TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

The conference agreement includes a general provision proposed by the Senate restoring the authority to transfer one percent 

of the amounts made available for National Research Service 

Awards to the Health Resources and Services Administration and 

the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. The House bill 

contained no similar provision. 

CDC OMBUDSMAN PROGRAM AND FITNESS EQUIPMENT

The conference agreement includes a general provision proposed by the Senate prohibiting funding for the CDC Ombudsman 

Program and certain equipment for the CDC fitness center. The 

House proposed a similar provision in title V of the bill.

NONRECURRING EXPENSES FUND

The conference agreement includes a general provision not in 

either the House or Senate bill establishing an HHS Nonrecurring 

Expenses Fund. The Fund is to be created from unobligated balances of expired discretionary funds appropriated for this or any 

succeeding fiscal year. The Fund may be used for capital acquisition purposes, including facilities and information technology infrastructure. Amounts may only be obligated 15 days after notification 

of the Appropriations Committees of the House of Representatives 

and the Senate. 

FEDERAL OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH

The conference agreement does not include a general provision 

proposed by the Senate allowing the Division of Federal Occupational Health to use personal services contracting. The House bill 

contained no similar provision. This authority has previously been 

provided on a permanent basis.

proposed by the Senate allowing the Secretary of HHS and HHS 

employees accompanying the Secretary to use the CDC aircraft. 

The House bill contained no similar provision. 

CURRENT FEDERAL LAW ON ABORTION FUNDING

The conference agreement does not include a general provision 

proposed by the Senate stating that nothing in the Act shall be 

construed to effect or otherwise modify provisions of current Federal law with respect to the funding of abortion. The House bill did 

not contain this restatement of current law. 

EMERGENCY DEFIBRILLATORS

The conference agreement does not include a general provision 

proposed by the Senate setting aside $200,000 for a clearinghouse 

for schools regarding emergency defibrillators. Instead, this issue is 

addressed in HRSA report language. The House bill contained no 

similar provision. 

TELEHEALTH PROGRAMS

The conference agreement does not include a general provision 

proposed by the Senate providing funding for telehealth programs, 

financed by an administrative reduction. The agreement provides 

funding for telehealth activities in the HRSA account. The House 

bill contained no similar provision.

The conference agreement does not include a general provision 

proposed by the Senate requiring the Comptroller General to provide a report to Congress on State health care reform efforts. Instead, the CMS report language contains a similar directive. The

similar provision.

that funding available under this program promote the goal of wellarticulated, long-sequence language programs that lead to demonstrable results for all students, and encourage school districts applying for these funds to reach out to institutions and centers funded under the Department’s International Education programs 

under Title VI of the Higher Education Act. The conferees direct 

the Department not to make grants to school districts that are replacing current traditional language programs with critical needs 

language instruction. 

The conference agreement includes $416,000,000 for State Assessments as proposed by the Senate instead of $411,630,000 as

improve the implementation of the No Child Left Behind Act. The 

conferees urge the Department to continue to place a high priority 

on grant applications that aim to improve the quality of State assessments for students with disabilities and students with limited

of any elementary school, secondary school, or structure related to 

an elementary school or secondary school run by the Department 

of Education of the State of Hawaii that serves a predominantly 

Native Hawaiian student body as proposed by the Senate. The conference agreement also includes bill language, as proposed by the

and model alcohol and drug abuse education programs in higher 

education. 

The conferees intend that funding recommended for school 

emergency preparedness activities be used for new grant awards to 

higher education institutions, in addition to school districts currently eligible, to develop and implement emergency management 

plans for preventing campus violence (including assessing and addressing the mental health needs of students) and for responding

tend that these funds be used to help institutions of higher education plan and prepare for the entire constellation of threats (terrorist attacks, natural disasters, shootings, and gang-related activity).

by the House to permit Project SERV funds appropriated in fiscal 

year 2008 and in previous fiscal years to be used to provide services to school districts and institutions of higher education in which

traumatic crisis. The Senate bill did not include bill language allowing Project SERV funds to be awarded to institutions of higher 

education. 

In addition, the recommended funding for the Office of Safe 

and Drug Free Schools will permit the Department to expand its 

examination of a variety of other school safety initiatives. The conferees request the Department to update the 2002 Department of 

Education and U.S. Secret Service guidance titled ‘‘Threat Assessment in Schools: A Guide to Managing Threatening Situations and 

to Creating Safe School Climates’’ to reflect the recommendations 

contained in the report titled ‘‘Report to the President on Issues

DIVISION B—MILITARY CONSTRUCTION AND VETERANS 

AFFAIRS AND RELATED AGENCIES APPROPRIATIONS ACT, 

2008 

This joint statement describes the effect of the conference 

agreement relative to the versions of the Military Construction and 

Veterans Affairs and Related Agencies Appropriations Act (H.R. 

2642) as passed by the House of Representatives and the Senate. 

References to amounts or language proposed by the House of Representatives or the Senate refer to amounts and language in the 

House or Senate passed versions of H.R. 2642 or in the accompanying committee reports (House Report 110–186 and Senate Report 110–85). 

The Senate amendment to the text deleted the entire House 

bill after the enacting clause and inserted the Senate bill. The conference agreement includes a revised bill. 

Matters Addressed by Only One Committee.—The language 

and allocations set forth in House Report 110–186 and Senate Report 110–85 should be complied with unless specifically addressed 

to the contrary in the conference report and statement of the managers. Report language included by the House, which is not 

changed by the report of the Senate or the conference, and Senate 

report language, which is not changed by the conference is approved by the committee of conference. The statement of the managers, while repeating some report language for emphasis, does not 

intend to negate the language referred to above unless expressly 

provided herein. In cases where the House or the Senate have directed the submission of a report, such report is to be submitted 

to both Houses of Congress. 

TITLE I 

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

ITEMS OF GENERAL INTEREST

‘‘Grow the Force’’.—The conferees note that the President, in 

the fiscal year 2008 budget submission to Congress, did not identify 

individual projects associated with the Administration’s 


hmoore on PRODPC68 with HMRPT
435 

$2,820,898,000 ‘‘Grow the Force’’ initiative, instead requesting 

lump sum funding for the initiative. Detailed information on individual projects was not provided by the Army and Marine Corps 

until weeks after the budget submission. The conferees provide full 

funding for this initiative, by project, and have identified the ‘‘Grow 

the Force’’ projects in the table at the back of the statement of the 

managers. The conferees remind the Department that the ‘‘Grow 

the Force’’ projects for which the President requested lump sum 

funding are part of the regular military construction program and 

are therefore subject to the same notification and reprogramming 

requirements that apply to all military construction appropriations. 

Construction Inflation.—The conferees are concerned by the 

continuing impact of high inflation rates for construction material 

prices and labor costs. These high rates have made it increasingly 

difficult for the services and Defense agencies to execute their military construction and family housing construction programs in a 

timely manner without scope reductions, project cancellations, and 

reprogramming requests. Given the enormous volume of construction to be completed over the next five years due to BRAC, global 

rebasing, end-strength increases for the Army and Marine Corps, 

and numerous smaller initiatives, realistic budgeting for construction inflation is necessary if the quality of life and quality of service 

for military personnel and their families are to be maintained at 

a high level. The conferees are dismayed by the failure of the Office 

of Management and Budget and the Department of Defense to incorporate realistic inflation estimates in the budget submissions, 

even though the consequences of this failure are predictable. The 

conferees support and encourage current efforts to more accurately 

account for regional variations in construction inflation; however, 

the conferees also believe that such efforts will be of limited value 

if the overall inflation figure used by the Administration to build 

the military construction program is unrealistically low. The conferees direct the Department of Defense to report to the Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress on the baseline 

construction inflation rate incorporated in the fiscal year 2009 military construction and family housing budget request, as well as a 

justification for that rate, no later than seven days following the 

submission of that request to Congress. 

Integrated Construction Plans for the ‘‘Grow the Force,’’ Global 

Basing, and Base Realignment and Closure Initiatives.—The conferees remain concerned about the ability of the Department of Defense to effectively coordinate and integrate the significant construction demands of the ‘‘Grow the Force’’ initiative with the 

equally daunting construction programs associated with the Department’s global rebasing plan and the 2005 Base Realignment 

and Closure program, particularly within the short timeframe allotted for the completion of each of these initiatives. The conferees 

agree that the Secretary of Defense shall submit a separate report 

to the Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress 

by January 31, 2008, identifying the installations at which there is 

any overlap of military construction and/or family housing construction among any or all of the three initiatives. In addition to 

a detailed list of the projects by installation, the report should include the projected timeline for completing each of the identified 


hmoore on PRODPC68 with HMRPT
436 

projects and the projected timeline for the movement of military 

personnel associated with the initiatives into the affected installations. 

Government Accountability Office (GAO) Review of Global Defense Posture Report.—The conferees agree that the GAO review of 

the status of the Defense Department’s Global Defense Posture 

should be submitted to the Committees on Appropriations of both 

Houses of Congress no later than April 15, 2008. 

Failure to Comply With Report Deadlines.—The conferees note 

the Department of Defense’s failure to comply with deadlines for 

several reports directed by the Committees on Appropriations of 

both Houses of Congress. These deadlines have passed without the 

reports being delivered, or even notice from the Department as to 

why it has been unable to meet the deadlines. Some of these reports are merely collections of data that are readily available. The 

conferees find this delay unacceptable. These reports are directed 

to ensure proper congressional oversight and to inform congressional decisions on the Department’s budget requests. The conferees direct the Department to submit all reports directed by 

House Report 110–186 and Senate Report 110–85 that are currently overdue, or an explanation of why these reports have not 

been delivered along with the expected date of delivery, no later 

than seven days after the enactment of this Act. The conferees direct the Department and the services to meet future reporting 

deadlines. If future deadlines are not met, the Department or service shall submit an explanation for the failure to deliver and the 

expected date of delivery no later than seven days after the deadline. 

Incrementally Funded Projects.—The conferees note that the 

Administration requested several large military construction 

projects that can be incrementally funded, but were instead submitted as large single-year requests, in accordance with a directive 

from the Office of Management and Budget to the Department of 

Defense to severely restrict the use of incremental funding for military construction. The Committees on Appropriations of both 

Houses of Congress have previously notified the Administration 

that they reserve the prerogative to provide incremental funding 

where appropriate, in accordance with authorizing legislation. The 

conferees continue to believe that military construction projects 

should be fully funded or separated into stand-alone phases when 

practical. In some cases, however, incremental funding makes fiscal 

and programmatic sense. The conferees have therefore agreed that 

the following projects will be incrementally funded: Fuel Storage 

Facilities, Point Loma, California; Southern Command Headquarters, Miami, Florida; Submarine Drive-in Magnetic Silencing 

Facility, Pearl Harbor, Hawaii; SOF Operations Facility, Dam Neck 

Annex, Virginia; Kilo Wharf, Naval Base Guam; and Brigade Operations Support Facility and Brigade Barracks/Community Facility, 

Vicenza, Italy. 

Guam Master Plan.—The conferees agree that the massive 

construction program planned to expand the presence of the U.S. 

military on Guam presents a major challenge to the Department of 

Defense, and requires a well-planned execution strategy. However, 

the conferees are concerned that the Senate provision requiring the 


hmoore on PRODPC68 with HMRPT
437 

Secretary of Defense to submit a master plan for Guam by December 29, 2007, does not give the Department adequate time to complete the plan, particularly in view of the ongoing environmental 

assessments being conducted on Guam. The conferees do not concur with the Senate position and instead direct the Secretary of Defense to submit to the Committees on Appropriations of both 

Houses of Congress no later than September 15, 2008, a report on 

the Department’s planning efforts for Guam. The report should 

identify in detail the size and makeup of the U.S. military forces 

to be located on Guam, the number of dependents expected to accompany those forces, and the infrastructure required to support 

the troops and their families. The report should also outline the 

Department’s plan to accomplish the projected level of construction 

associated with the build-up, within the constrained construction 

capacity of Guam, and the infrastructure required to support the 

anticipated increase in the construction workforce. The Department 

is further directed to provide an updated funding plan for both the 

military and family housing construction, and the associated Defense education and Defense logistics infrastructure needed, and a 

status report on the availability and funding mechanism of the $6.1 

billion that the Government of Japan has agreed to contribute. 

MILITARY CONSTRUCTION, ARMY

(INCLUDING RESCISSION OF FUNDS)

The conference agreement appropriates $3,950,383,000 for Military Construction, Army, instead of $4,070,959,000 as proposed 

by the House and $3,928,149,000 as proposed by the Senate. Within this amount, the conference agreement provides $321,983,000 for 

study, planning, design, architect and engineer services, and host 

nation support instead of $481,468,000 as proposed by the House 

and $317,149,000 as proposed by the Senate. The conference agreement rescinds $8,690,000 from funds previously appropriated to this account due to bid savings as follows:

the House prohibiting the use of funds for any activity related to 

the construction of an Outlying Landing Field in Washington County, North Carolina. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. 

The conference agreement does not include a provision as proposed by the House (Sec. 121) limiting the obligation of funds for

448 

Partnership for Peace programs. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. 

The conference agreement does not include a provision as proposed by the Senate (Sec. 126) related to reprogramming and notification requirements of ‘‘Grow the Force’’ projects. The House bill 

contained no similar provision. The issue is addressed elsewhere in 

the statement of the managers. 

TITLE II—DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS 

ITEMS OF GENERAL INTEREST

Veterans Rights and Feedback.—The conferees are encouraged 

by the progress the Department has made in providing veterans 

with the opportunity to offer feedback and obtain assistance 

through the Internet and the use of toll-free telephone numbers. 

The conferees agree there are additional measures the Department 

should take to enhance these programs and to ensure that the Secretary, the Under Secretary for Health, the Under Secretary for 

Benefits, and the Office of Inspector General are kept informed of 

the feedback that is provided. The conference agreement includes 

sufficient funding to ensure the Department is able to provide a 

clearly marked, direct link that allows veterans to seek assistance 

and provide feedback on the Veterans Affairs Internet home page; 

provide a separate toll-free telephone number for the Veterans 

Health Administration and for the Veterans Benefits Administration that allows a veteran to check on his or her eligibility, seek 

assistance in obtaining services and/or resolving difficulties, and 

provide feedback; and provide the Secretary, the Under Secretary 

for Health, the Under Secretary for Benefits, and the Office of Inspector General with a report that informs them of the types of 

issues that are being addressed through these systems so that they 

may more easily identify evolving problems and take early corrective action. The Secretary is directed to report to the Committees 

on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress by February 1, 2008, 

on the actions that have been taken to implement this direction. 

Further, the Under Secretary for Health is directed to report to the 

Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress by 

March 3, 2008, on the actions that have been taken to ensure that 

patient advocate contact information, including a telephone number, is clearly posted in all clinics, on all inpatient wards, and at 

the entrance of every Veterans Health Administration facility. 

Services for Women Veterans.—The conferees agree more can 

be done by the Department to refine its programs, services and outreach efforts in order to inform women veterans of their eligibility 

status and improve their access to services. While the conference 

agreement does not retain the provision proposed by the House 

under General Operating Expenses, the conference agreement includes sufficient funds for the operation of both the Advisory Committee on Women Veterans and the Center for Women Veterans. 

Additionally, the conferees direct the Department to report to the 

Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress by February 1, 2008, on the actions that have been taken to implement 

the recommendations of the Advisory Committee on Women Veterans 2006 Report. The conferees further direct the Government 


hmoore on PRODPC68 with HMRPT
449 

Accountability Office (GAO) to report to the Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress by September 1, 2008, an assessment of the adequacy of mental health services provided by the 

Departments of Veterans Affairs to women veterans. 

Reprogrammings.—The conferees would like to emphasize that 

reprogrammings permitted by this Act are to be transmitted to 

Congress in a timely manner. 

Quarterly Financial Report.—The quarterly financial report required by this Act shall contain, at a minimum, both the planned 

and actual expenditure rates, unobligated balances, potential financial shortfalls, any transfers between major accounts (medical services, medical administration, and medical facilities), and status of 

any equipment or non-recurring maintenance funds—including 

whether they have been used to pay for operating expenses. In addition, the service portion of the report will contain, at a minimum, 

the time required for new patients to get their first appointment, 

the time required for established patients to get their next appointment, and the number of unique veterans and patients being 

served. Each report should address data for the system total and 

for each VISN. Further, the conferees direct that the Department 

include progress reports on the revision of the International Classification of Diseases—9th Revision (ICD–9) codes with respect to 

Traumatic Brain Injury. 

Contracting Out.—The conferees note that the competition requirement provided in this Act already applies to the Department 

of Veterans Affairs. For any function performed by more than ten 

employees, the Department, like other agencies covered by this 

competition requirement, must conduct a public-private competition, involving both a Most Efficient Organization plan and a Minimum Cost Differential, before that function can be converted to 

contractor performance. Unless specifically excluded, the Department of Veterans Affairs would be held to any successor public-private competition requirements included in legislation, as well as 38 

U.S.C. 8110(a)(5). 

VETERANS BENEFITS ADMINISTRATION

COMPENSATION AND PENSIONS

(INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

The conference agreement appropriates $41,236,322,000 for 

Compensation and Pensions as proposed by both the House and the 

Senate. Of the amount provided, not more than $28,583,000 is to 

be transferred to General Operating Expenses and Medical Administration for reimbursement of necessary expenses in implementing 

provisions of title 38.

hmoore on PRODPC68 with HMRPT
450 

VETERANS INSURANCE AND INDEMNITIES

The conference agreement appropriates $41,250,000 for Veterans Insurance and Indemnities as proposed by both the House 

and the Senate. 

VETERANS HOUSING BENEFIT PROGRAM FUND PROGRAM ACCOUNT

The conference agreement appropriates such sums as may be 

necessary for costs associated with direct and guaranteed loans for 

the Veterans Housing Benefit Program Fund Program Account as 

proposed by both the House and the Senate. The agreement limits 

obligations for direct loans to not more than $500,000 and provides 

that $154,562,000 shall be available for administrative expenses. 

The conference agreement does not include a transfer provision as 

proposed by the House. 

VOCATIONAL REHABILITATION LOANS PROGRAM ACCOUNT

(INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

The conference agreement appropriates $71,000 for the cost of 

direct loans from the Vocational Rehabilitation Loans Program Account as proposed by both the House and the Senate, plus $311,000 

to be transferred to and merged with General Operating Expenses. 

The conference agreement provides for a direct loan limitation of 

$3,287,000 as proposed by both the House and the Senate. 

NATIVE AMERICAN VETERAN HOUSING LOAN PROGRAM ACCOUNT

The conference agreement appropriates $628,000 for administrative expenses of the Native American Veteran Housing Loan 

Program Account as proposed by both the House and the Senate. 

The conference agreement does not include a transfer provision or 

loan limitation as proposed by the House. 

GUARANTEED TRANSITIONAL HOUSING LOANS FOR HOMELESS

VETERANS PROGRAM ACCOUNT

The conference agreement provides up to $750,000 of the funds 

available in General Operating Expenses and Medical Administration to carry out the Guaranteed Transitional Housing Loans for 

Homeless Veterans Program Account as proposed by both the 

House and the Senate. 

VETERANS HEALTH ADMINISTRATION

Health Care Sharing Incentive Fund.—The conferees have included bill language to allow a minimum of $15,000,000 to be 

transferred to the Health Care Sharing Incentive Fund to facilitate 

collaboration between the Departments of Defense and Veterans 

Affairs. The conferees agree the most important area for collaboration and investment between these departments is to ensure a 

seamless transition for our veterans. While the conferees do not intend to preclude the use of this fund for any joint project, the conferees strongly urge that priority for funding be given to the implementation of recommendations of the Report on the President’s 

Commission on Care for America’s Returning Wounded Warriors, 

July 2007. The conferees further urge the Departments of Defense 


hmoore on PRODPC68 with HMRPT
451 

and Veterans Affairs to seek every opportunity to partner to improve the continuity of care for our veterans through joint clinics; 

joint Centers of Excellence for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder 

(PTSD) and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI); joint research and/or 

treatment; and the development of joint clinical practice guidelines 

for polytrauma injury, traumatic brain injury (to include 

diagnostics), blast injury, mental health/PTSD, burn, and amputee 

patients based on evidence-based medicine. 

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI).—Current data make it difficult 

for the Department to provide budget information on TBI as a Select Program. The conferees are encouraged to learn the Department is working with the National Center for Health Statistics and 

the Department of Defense to refine current International Classification of Diseases—9th Revision (ICD–9) codes to better reflect 

the TBI patient population within the Departments of Defense and 

Veterans Affairs. The conferees direct the Department of Veterans 

Affairs to include an update of progress on the revision of the ICD–

9 codes for TBI within the quarterly reports provided to Congress 

during fiscal year 2008. The conferees also direct the Department 

of Veterans Affairs to include TBI as a Select Program within the 

Medical Services account in the fiscal year 2009 budget submission 

and all future budget submissions thereafter. 

Level I Polytrauma Centers and Centers of Excellence on Mental Health and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).—The conferees agree that every effort must be made to ensure that the 

Level I polytrauma centers and the Centers of Excellence on Mental Health and PTSD are resourced to provide the very best in 

medical care to our veterans who have suffered multiple trauma injuries or require mental health services. The conference agreement 

has increased funding within the Veterans Health Administration 

accounts to ensure that the current Level I polytrauma centers and 

the Centers of Excellence on Mental Health and PTSD will be fully 

staffed and operational in fiscal year 2008. 

Credentialing and Privileging in Rural Health Care Facilities.—The conferees are concerned about potential quality of care 

issues that may exist in rural VA medical facilities, including the 

qualifications of medical professionals. The conferees direct the 

Government Accountability Office to assess the standards that are 

being followed in rural VA hospitals, including the consistency with 

which VA standards are being applied across urban and rural facilities. 

MEDICAL SERVICES

(INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

The conference agreement appropriates $29,104,220,000 for 

Medical Services, instead of $29,031,400,000 as proposed by the 

House and $28,979,220,000 as proposed by the Senate. Additionally, the Senate had proposed an additional $125,000,000 in section 

230 of the administrative provisions. 

Of the amount provided, $1,350,000,000 is available for obligation until September 30, 2009 as proposed by the Senate, instead 

of $1,100,000,000 as proposed by the House. The conferees also 

agree that the Department shall spend not less than 


hmoore on PRODPC68 with HMRPT
452 

$2,900,000,000 for specialty mental health services as proposed by 

the House and not less than $130,000,000 for the homeless grants 

and per diem program. 

The conference agreement includes a net increase of 

$1,936,549,000 above the budget request in order to address shortfalls anticipated in the Department’s projection of health care demand and to address the Department’s failure to adjust the beneficiary travel reimbursement rate despite consistently rising gasoline prices. The conference agreement includes a 5.5 percent increase for workload and a 4.45 percent increase for inflation which 

the conferees believe is necessary to ensure that sufficient funding 

is available to maintain services at their current level. The agreement also includes an additional $125,000,000 to increase the beneficiary travel reimbursement mileage rate to 28.5 cents per mile; 

an additional $70,000,000 for substance abuse services; an additional $12,500,000 for expanded outpatient services for the blind; 

an additional $15,000,000 for Vet Centers; and provides sufficient 

funding to allow for additional personnel for the HUD-Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing Program to address any increase in the 

number of vouchers offered and directs the Department to increase 

the number of case workers as necessary to accommodate the increase in vouchers. 

Mental Health and Substance Abuse.—The conferees are concerned mental health and substance abuse services were not sufficiently addressed within the fiscal year 2008 budget submission 

which includes a reduction in the number of inpatient beds for psychiatric care and an anticipated increase of less than one percent 

for substance abuse services. The conferees believe these projections are unrealistic and have increased funding within the Medical Services account in order to increase access to substance abuse 

services; ensure that adequate inpatient psychiatric care is maintained; and to allow the Department to pursue all opportunities to 

improve access to mental health services for all veterans. To this 

end, the Department is directed to re-examine the policy for a reduction in psychiatric inpatient care, taking into account the needs 

of returning Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi 

Freedom (OEF/OIF) veterans and the recommendations of OIG Report: Implementing VHA’s Mental Health Strategic Plan Initiatives 

for Suicide Prevention, May 10, 2007, and is further directed to report to the Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress by February 29, 2008, the findings of this review and what 

additional resources have been utilized to ensure that adequate inpatient care is available. Further, the conferees direct the Department not to reduce the number of inpatient psychiatric beds at any 

facility that currently has a waiting list. Additionally, the Department is directed to report to the Committees on Appropriations of 

both Houses of Congress by February 1, 2008, on its plan to better 

utilize all opportunities to improve access to mental health services 

for all veterans. This report should include, but not be limited to, 

the Department’s plan to better utilize the services of the Community Mental Health Centers; implementation of peer training programs; additional fee-basis access to local mental health providers; 

mobile Vet Centers; and the development of Internet based services 


hmoore on PRODPC68 with HMRPT
453 

like the Network of Care for Mental Health recommended in the 

President’s New Freedom Commission on Mental Health. 

HIV/AIDS Among Veterans.—The conferees concur with the 

Senate’s recommendations on the VA health care system’s HIV 

testing policy guidelines and direct the Department to submit a 

progress report to the Committees on Appropriations of both 

Houses of Congress by January 30, 2008. 

Access to Medical Care in Remote Rural Areas.—The conferees 

direct the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to report to the Committees 

on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress not later than six 

months after the date of the enactment of this Act, a description 

of: the unique challenges and costs faced by veterans in remote 

rural areas of contiguous and non-contiguous States when obtaining medical services from the Department of Veterans Affairs, and 

the need to improve access to locally administered care for veterans 

who reside in remote rural areas. The report should also identify 

the need to fund alternative sources of medical services in areas 

where facilities of the Department of Veterans Affairs are not accessible to veterans without leaving such areas; and in cases in 

which receipt of medical services by a veteran in a facility of the 

Department requires transportation of such veteran by air due to 

geographic and infrastructural constraints. The report should also 

contain an assessment of the potential for increasing local access 

to medical services for veterans in remote rural areas of contiguous 

and non-contiguous States through strategic partnerships with 

other government and local private health care providers. 

MEDICAL ADMINISTRATION

The conference agreement appropriates $3,517,000,000 for Medical Administration, instead of $3,510,600,000 as proposed by 

the House and $3,642,000,000 as proposed by the Senate. 

Office of Rural Health.—The conferees agree the Office of 

Rural Health is vital to ensuring that equal access to health care 

is provided to all of our returning Reserve and National Guard veterans. While the conferees do not earmark a specific amount for 

the office, the conferees have provided sufficient funding within 

Medical Administration to ensure a robust Office of Rural Health. 

The conferees strongly encourage the Department to make full use 

of this office and direct the Secretary to submit a report to the 

Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress on the 

actions that have been taken to improve access to health in rural 

areas by February 1, 2008. 

MEDICAL FACILITIES

The conference agreement appropriates $4,100,000,000 for 

Medical Facilities as proposed by the House, instead of 

$4,092,000,000 as proposed by the Senate. The agreement also includes language allowing $350,000,000 of the funds to be available 

until September 30, 2009, as proposed by the Senate, instead of 

$250,000,000 as proposed by the House. The conference agreement 

further specifies that $325,000,000 for non-recurring maintenance 

shall be allocated in a manner not subject to the Veterans Equitable Resource Allocation model, instead of $300,000,000 as proposed by the House and $350,000,000 as proposed by the Senate. 


hmoore on PRODPC68 with HMRPT
454 

The conferees are in agreement that the funding provided above 

the budget request shall be used to address both facility condition 

assessment deficiencies and other essential requirements. 

Non-Recurring Maintenance.—The conferees remain concerned 

that the Department is not adequately addressing specific issues 

regarding obligation of non-recurring maintenance (NRM) funds 

raised in a May 16, 2007, GAO report. The conferees fully expect 

that by fiscal year 2009 the Department will be obligating not more 

than twenty percent of its annual allocation of NRM funds in the 

last two months of the fiscal year. By May 16, 2008, the Department shall submit to the Committees on Appropriations of both 

Houses of Congress a report outlining these management objectives 

and a business plan to reach that goal. 

Community Based Outpatient Clinics.—The conferees direct 

the Department to provide the Committees on Appropriations of 

both Houses of Congress with a report on the actual number of 

Community Based Outpatient Clinics (CBOC) opened in fiscal year 

2007 and the planned CBOC activations in fiscal year 2008. In addition, the conferees further direct the Department to examine the 

need for, and report on the feasibility of and/or plans for clinics in 

the following locations: El Centro, California; rural Colorado; Brandon, Florida; Statesboro, Georgia; Belleville, Illinois; Moline, Illinois; Whiteside County, Illinois; Plymouth, Massachusetts; DoverFoxcroft, Maine; Houlton, Maine; Lewiston-Auburn, Maine; 

Plattsburg, New York; Riverhead, New York; Southeastern Pennsylvania; Port Angeles, Washington; Wenatchee, Washington; 

Green Bay, Wisconsin; and Lynchburg, Virginia. 

MEDICAL AND PROSTHETIC RESEARCH

The conference agreement appropriates $480,000,000 for Medical and Prosthetic Research as proposed by the House, instead of 

$500,000,000 as proposed by the Senate. 

NATIONAL CEMETERY ADMINISTRATION

The conference agreement appropriates $195,000,000 for the 

National Cemetery Administration, instead of $170,000,000 as proposed by the House and $217,709,000 as proposed by the Senate. 

Of the amount provided, $20,000,000 is available until September 

30, 2009, instead of $7,800,000 as proposed by the House and 

$25,000,000 as proposed by the Senate. The amount provided includes $900,000 from the Information Technology Systems account 

which was erroneously transferred during the recent reorganization 

of information technology programs. 

The conferees have provided $28,191,000 in additional funding 

for the National Cemetery Administration to correct gravesite deficiencies at VA’s national cemeteries, including those identified in 

the 2002 Millennium Act report to Congress. These repairs include 

gravesite renovation projects to replace turf, repair sunken graves, 

and raise, realign and clean headstones.

DEPARTMENTAL ADMINISTRATION

GENERAL OPERATING EXPENSES

The conference agreement appropriates $1,605,000,000 for General Operating Expenses, instead of $1,598,500,000 as proposed 

by the House and $1,612,031,000 as proposed by the Senate. The 

conference agreement provides not less than $1,327,001,000 for the 

Veterans Benefits Administration, instead of $1,324,957,000 as proposed by the House and $1,329,044,000 as proposed by the Senate. 

Of the amount provided, $75,000,000 is available for obligation 

until September 30, 2009, as proposed by both the House and the 

Senate. 

The agreement also provides for a limitation on the purchase 

of passenger motor vehicles for use in operation by the Veterans 

Benefits Administration in Manila, Philippines. 

The conference agreement does not include language as pro- posed by the House, which would have provided $2,000,000 for the 

Advisory Committee on Women Veterans. This issue is addressed 

in the Departmental overview section of this statement of the managers. 

Funding Increases.—The conferees agree to provide an in- crease of $133,163,000 for General Operating Expenses when compared to the President’s budget request. The conferees agree to pro- vide $124,219,000 for the hiring of additional claims processors. 

Based upon data provided by the Department to the Committees 

on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress in response to reporting requirements included in the report accompanying Public Law 

110–28, the cost per new hire will enable the Department to hire 

more than 1,800 new claims processors with the funding provided. 

In addition, the conferees have provided $2,000,000 for the leasing 

of office space to house these new employees. As the Department 

experiences an increase in the number of claims being filed, as well 

as an increase in the number of appeals, both the Board of Veterans Appeals and the Office of General Counsel will require additional personnel to handle these appeals. Therefore, the conferees 

have provided an increase of $3,724,000 for the Board of Veterans 

Appeals and $3,220,000 for the Office of General Counsel. 

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SYSTEMS

The conference agreement appropriates $1,966,465,000 for In- formation Technology Systems, instead of $1,859,217,000 as proposed by the House and $1,898,000,000 as proposed by the Senate. 

The conference agreement directs the Department to submit an expenditure plan to the Committees on Appropriations of both 

Houses of Congress within 30 days of enactment as proposed by the 

House, instead of 60 days of enactment as proposed by the Senate. The amount provided includes a reduction of $1,100,000 which 

has been transferred to the Office of Inspector General. The conferees have included an increase of $39,683,000 for computers and 

other information technology needs associated with the increase in 

claims processors for the Veterans Benefits Administration and for 

increased staff in other offices related to claims processing. Additionally, the conferees agree to provide $8,000,000 for an insurance 

card buffer system and $8,000,000 for the Veterans Health AdminVerDate Aug 31 2005 06:30 Nov 10, 2007 Jkt 038651 PO 00000 Frm 00459 Fmt 6601 Sfmt 6601 E:\HR\OC\HR424.XXX HR424

istration Chief Logistics Office information technology support. 

Both of these program shortfalls were identified by the Department 

subsequent to completion of the House and Senate action on their 

respective appropriations bills. The conferees have also included 

$10,200,000 for the information technology costs associated with 

activation of new community based outpatient clinics, an expense 

that was underfunded in the budget submission. 

On September 6, 2007, the Secretary of Veterans Affairs informed the Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress of his intention to reorganize the information technology development functions within the Department of Veterans Affairs. 

The budget request for Information Technology Systems included a 

consolidation of all payroll-associated costs for operations and 

maintenance under the Information Technology account. The conference agreement reflects this consolidation; however, the conferees direct the VA to track payroll and non-pay costs separately 

in future budget submissions. In addition, to further the Department’s consolidation objective, the conferees have agreed to include an increase of $42,465,000 to preclude the need to transfer funds 

from the General Operating Expenses, Medical Services, Medical 

Facilities, and Medical and Prosthetic Research accounts. 

The conferees are in agreement that the Department should 

take all steps necessary to ensure that the entire information technology reorganization has no negative impact on providing vital 

services to veterans, nor should it impede the ability of health care 

providers and researchers in carrying out their duties. 

Electronic Medical Record.—The conferees direct the Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs to issue a joint report to the 

Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress (subcommittees on Defense and Military Construction/Veterans Affairs) 

by April 1, 2008, detailing the actions being taken by each Department to achieve an interoperable electronic medical record (EMR) 

system. The report should include, but not be limited to, a detailed 

spending plan for the use of funding provided in the Joint Incentive 

Fund as well as identify all other ongoing and planned projects and 

programs within each Department addressing interoperability, including funding provided. The report should clearly identify the Departments’ goals for interoperability and how these projects and 

programs will address those goals. 

OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL

The conference agreement appropriates $80,500,000 for the Office of Inspector General, instead of $76,500,000 as proposed by the 

House and $88,700,000 as proposed by the Senate. Of the amount 

provided, $5,000,000 is available for obligation until September 30, 

2009, instead of $3,630,000 as proposed by both the House and the 

Senate. 

The conference agreement includes an additional $7,901,000 

above the budget request for the Office of Inspector General. The 

additional funding includes $1,100,000 for information technology 

systems unique to the Office of Inspector General, as well as additional funding for new positions so that the Inspector General can 

expand and improve its independent oversight in critical areas, including transitional health care for veterans returning from the 


hmoore on PRODPC68 with HMRPT
457 

wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and Department of Veterans Affairs 

information technology programs. 

CONSTRUCTION, MAJOR PROJECTS

The conference agreement appropriates $1,069,100,000 for 

Construction, Major Projects, instead of $1,410,800,000 as proposed 

by the House and $727,400,000 as proposed by the Senate. The 

conference agreement includes a provision proposed by the House 

which places a limitation on the use of funds related to 18 facilities 

on the Capital Asset Realignment for Enhanced Services list requiring further study. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. 

The conferees are aware that the Department’s budget request 

of $40,285,000 for the Advanced Planning Fund will not be sufficient to address projects on the Department’s 5-Year Capital Plan 

for fiscal years 2009 through 2012. Therefore, the conferees have 

included an additional $9,200,000 in funding to begin the preliminary planning process to address identified construction needs. 

Additionally, the conferees agree to provide $322,500,000 for 

allocation to previously appropriated major construction projects, 

including necessary cost adjustments. The Department is directed 

to provide the Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of 

Congress with a detailed list of how these funds will be allocated, 

within 60 days of enactment of this Act. 

New Orleans Veterans Medical Center.—The conferees direct 

the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to report to the Committees on 

Appropriations of both Houses of Congress not later than October 

1 and April 1 of each year, on the current status of the reconstruction of the Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center in New 

Orleans, Louisiana. Each report shall include the status of any ongoing environmental assessments, the status of any current construction, and an assessment of the adequacy of funding necessary 

to complete the reconstruction. If reconstruction of the Medical 

Center is subject to any major delay, the report shall include a description of each such delay, an explanation for each such delay, 

and a description of actions being taken or planned to address the 

delay. Additionally, within 60 days of enactment of this Act, the 

Department shall report to the Committees on Appropriations of 

both Houses of Congress as to whether the New Orleans Medical 

Center should be designated as a Level I polytrauma rehabilitation 

center or a polytrauma network site.

COMPLIANCE WITH RULE XXI, CL. 9 (HOUSE) AND WITH RULE XLIV

(SENATE)

The following list is submitted in compliance with clause 9 of 

rule XXI of the Rules of the House of Representatives and rule 

XLIV of the Standing Rules of the Senate, which require publication of a list of congressionally directed spending items (Senate), 

congressional earmarks (House), limited tax benefits, and limited 

tariff benefits included in the conference report, or in the joint 

statement of the managers accompanying the conference report, including the name of each Senator, House Member, Delegate, or 

Resident Commissioner who submitted a request to the committee 

of jurisdiction for each item so identified. Congressionally directed 

spending items (as defined in the Senate rule) and congressional 

earmarks (as defined in the House rule) in this division of the conference report or joint statement of the managers are listed below. 

Neither the conference report nor the statement of the managers 

contains any limited tax benefits or limited tariff benefits as defined in the applicable House and Senate rules. 

The following list is also submitted in compliance with House 

Resolution 491, which requires a listing of congressional earmarks 

in the conference report or joint statement of the managers that 

were not committed to the committee of conference by either 

House, not in a report on a bill committed to conference, and not 

in a Senate committee report on a companion measure. All items 

on the following list technically meet that definition, because this 

division deals with legislation that was not committed to this committee of conference. Items on the following list have been marked 

with an asterisk if they were not in either the House or Senate 

version of the fiscal year 2008 Military Construction and Veterans 

Affairs and Related Agencies Appropriations bill or the accompanying Committee reports.
