OVERVIEW 

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

The Committee recommends $67,557,269,000 for contingency operations related to the global war on terror to fund military operations in fiscal year 2006. This funding will ensure that resources, 

equipment, and supplies are available for our service members 

without interruption, and will enable the Department to avoid absorbing incremental operational costs from within baseline programs that are critical to future readiness and home-station activities. The estimates outlined in the Committee’s recommendations 

are based on recent execution data and detailed discussions with 

the military services and operational commanders. 

REPORTING REQUIREMENTS

The Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a report to the congressional defense committees within 30 days of enactment of this legislation on the allocation of the funds within the 

accounts listed in this chapter. The Secretary shall submit updated 

reports 30 days after the end of each fiscal quarter until funds listed in this chapter are no longer available for obligation. The Committee directs that these reports shall include: a detailed accounting of obligations and expenditures of appropriations provided in 

this chapter by program and subactivity group for the continuation 

of the war in Iraq and Afghanistan; and a listing of equipment procured using funds provided in this chapter. The Committee expects 

that in order to meet unanticipated requirements, the Department 

of Defense may need to transfer funds within these appropriation 

accounts for purposes other than those specified in this report. The 

Committee directs the Department of Defense to follow normal 

prior approval reprogramming procedures should it be necessary to 

transfer funding between different appropriations accounts in this 

chapter. 

Additionally, the Committee directs that the bi-annual reporting 

requirements of section 9010 of Public Law 108–287, the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2005, regarding the military 

operations of the Armed Forces and the reconstruction activities of 

the Department of Defense in Iraq and Afghanistan shall apply to 

the funds appropriated in this Act. 

MILITARY PERSONNEL 

The Committee recommends a total of $10,204,007,000 for the incremental cost of pay and allowances of the Active, Reserve, and 

Guard Components deployed overseas, retained on active duty to 

support military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, or partici-
10 

pating in or supporting the global war on terror. These include Imminent Danger Pay, Family Separation Allowance, Hardship Duty 

Pay, Basic Allowance for Housing, Foreign Language Proficiency 

Pay, Subsistence, and other military personnel requirements. In 

addition, funds are included for casualty benefits associated with 

the death or traumatic injury of service members.

Errors in Military Pay and Allowances.—The Committee is concerned about numerous reports concerning our injured and wounded military men and women returning from the wars in Iraq and 

Afghanistan who are experiencing significant problems with their 

pay. Therefore, the Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to 

submit a report that addresses (1) what actions the Department 

has taken or is taking to make sure that military service members 

receive the correct amount of pay, allowances, or monetary benefits 

to which service members are entitled each pay period, including 

basic pay, hazardous duty pay, imminent danger pay, basic allowance for housing, basic allowance for subsistence, any family separation allowance, or any cost of living allowance, and (2) what steps 

are being taken to provide accurate pay information to military 

service members and their spouses so they know the correct 

amount they should expect to be deposited in their accounts, and 

(3) what recourses military members and their families have to receive responsive, understanding support from their respective services when pay questions arise. For cases of when one or more overpayments have been made in error by the Department, the report 

should include what steps the Department is taking to either grant 

relief for the debt or to make arrangements with the military member for collection in a way that does not create unreasonable financial hardship, especially in cases where the military member is 

wounded and when families or dependents are involved. For cases 

when relief of the debt has been denied, the report should include 

those reasons for denial. For cases in which underpayments have 

occurred, the report should include an explanation of action by the 

Department to correct the underpayments. The report should also 

include what performance standards the Department has set for 

itself concerning pay errors and how the Department is performing 

against the standard. The Secretary of Defense shall submit the report to the congressional defense committees not later then 120 

days after the date of the enactment of this act. 

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE 

The Committee recommends $39,194,590,000 for the operation 

and maintenance accounts. These funds are available to fund military operations by the services and Special Operations Forces to include: flying hours, ship steaming days, ground operations, special 

airlift missions, increased maintenance requirements, logistics support costs, overseas transportation, communications support, facility management and other operation and maintenance requirements. 

The following table provides details of the recommendation for 

the operation and maintenance accounts:

Commander’s Emergency Response Program [CERP].—The Committee recommends $423,000,000 for the Commander’s Emergency 

Response Program. The amount recommended is in addition to 

$500,000,000 previously provided in fiscal year 2006. The Committee believes this program provides an invaluable tool for military commanders in the field to provide humanitarian relief and reconstruction projects that have an immediate and visible impact on 

the quality of life of the Iraqi and Afghan people. The Committee 

also recognizes that military commanders in the field are the first 

line of contact with the civilian population and therefore directs 

that the CERP funds should remain under the operational control 

of the military commanders. 

Condolence Payments.—The Committee supports the Department’s program for condolence payments to civilians who have suffered injuries, or to the families of those who have died, as a result 

of combat operations. The Committee directs the Secretary to submit a report to the congressional defense committees not later than 

90 days after enactment, which addresses: the benefits and disadvantages of a decentralized program; claims documentation, approval, denial and implementation procedures; Department of Defense guidance provided to the field on this matter to ensure consistency of best practices; and recommendations regarding the 

funding mechanism for these payments.

Body Armor and Personal Protection Equipment.—The Marine 

Corps request includes $270,900,000 for body armor and personal 

protection equipment within the Active component operation and 

maintenance account and $36,700,000 within the Reserve component. The Marine Corps has since indicated that a portion of the 

Active component request will outfit Marine Corps reservists deploying to Iraq and would be better executed within the ‘‘Operation 

and Maintenance, Marine Corps Reserve’’ account. Therefore, the 

Committee recommends the transfer of $32,200,000 from the Active 

component to the Reserves to align the resources with the requirement.

Family Support Counseling.—The President’s request includes 

$43,000,000 for family support counseling. The Committee recognizes the critical importance of these programs to support our military service members and their families. Therefore, the Committee 

recommends an increase of $63,000,000 for these programs. The 

Committee also recommends $10,000,000 for Transition Assistance 

to Separating service members, which was not requested in the 
19 

President’s request. The amounts provided are to be allocated as 

follows:

Defense has identified $8,000,000 of carryover funds from fiscal 

year 2005 that can be applied to Cooperative Threat Reduction activities.

recommends $5,611,133,000 to train and equip Afghan and Iraq security forces. The funds are provided to assist the governments of 

Afghanistan and Iraq to assume increasing responsibility for their 

nations’ security. The Committee’s recommendation is $289,700,000 
22 

below the request. The reduction is taken for security infrastructure in Afghanistan that will not be executed until the first quarter 

of fiscal year 2007. Furthermore, the Committee directs that no 

funds provided in the ‘‘Iraq Security Forces Fund’’ shall be obligated for infrastructure construction or repair until after the formation of the unified Iraqi government.

Committee recommendation ................................................................. $1,958,089,000 

The Committee recommends $1,958,089,000 to initiate the Joint 

Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Fund. The recommendation is 

$1,958,089,000 above the estimate. 

Improvised explosive devices continue to be a critical threat to 

the safety of U.S. and coalition forces in Iraq and Afghanistan. The 

use of these relatively inexpensive weapons has grown, as has the 

technical sophistication of the terrorists using them. To provide 

adequate funding and management flexibility to the Department in 

developing and fielding the necessary tactics, equipment and training to defeat these weapons, the Committee provides 

$1,958,089,000 in the ‘‘Joint Improvised Explosive Device Defeat 

Fund.’’ The funds may only be used for activities that support the 

IED defeat objective. Within 90 days of enactment, the Department 

shall provide to the congressional defense committees an initial 

plan for managing and using the Fund. The Department is directed 

to provide a detailed description of the new JIEDD organization, its 

command structure, funding sources, and personnel needs (military, civilian and contractor support). In addition, the Department 

shall submit a report not later than 30 days after the end of each 

fiscal quarter to the congressional defense committees providing assessments of the evolving threats, individual service requirements 

to counter the threats, and details on the obligations and expenditures of this Fund. 

PROCUREMENT 

The Committee recommends $15,456,598,000 for procurement. 

This funds the Services’ most urgent procurement needs, including 

improvements for force protection equipment, replacement, repair 

and reset of war-torn equipment, Army modularity, and essential 

equipment and munitions. 
23 

PROCUREMENT OVERVIEW

Including the amounts set forth in this bill, the Committee has provided $350,000,000,000 in emergency supplemental appropriations to the Department of Defense for the global war on terror 

since the attacks of September 11, 2001. 

The requirement to reset the force, along with initiatives such as 

Army Modular Forces and the Marine Corps Special Operations 

Command, has driven rapid increases in the supplemental funds 

requested for procurement. This continuous growth is now at the 

point where, in some instances, the supplemental request for some 

accounts represents two to three times the amounts requested in 

the regular Defense appropriations bill. However, the justification 

material submitted to Congress includes only descriptive summaries for each account and is absent of meaningful program and 

budget information, such as requirements, pricing and delivery 

schedules. In the future, the Committee will not be able to fully 

support supplemental requests unless it is provided the same detailed justification and program materials that it receives with the 

annual budget request. 

The following table provides details of the recommendation for 

the procurement accounts:

Joint Network Node [JNN].—The Committee is concerned that 

the required operational test and evaluation has not been completed for the JNN and that final decision on the acquisition strategy for JNN and future evolutionary systems is not yet made. The 

conference report accompanying the fiscal year 2006 Department of 

Defense Appropriations Act contained a requirement that the Army 

submit a plan no later than January 15, 2006, detailing its plans 

to procure evolutionary capability in its network communications 

packages. The Army is still evaluating the program and has not 

submitted the report. Due to concerns about the Army’s ability to 

execute the program while the contract strategy is still in question, 

the Committee reduces the program by $100,000,000 and redirects 

an additional $10,000,000 from ‘‘Other Procurement, Army’’ to the 

‘‘Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Army’’ appropriation 

to conduct the required operational testing. 

Physical Security Systems.—The Committee supports the Army’s 

program to acquire non-intrusive vehicle and cargo inspection systems to support ongoing operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. Since 

the terrorist threat was more fully recognized following September 

2001, industry has made progress in developing innovative technologies to meet this critical need. The Committee directs the Department of the Army to use a competitive procurement process to 

fulfill the equipment requirements funded in the Physical Security 

Systems line.

V–22.—The Committee recommendation includes $230,000,000 to 

procure three V–22 Osprey tilt rotor aircraft. The Osprey is the 

planned replacement for the CH–46E and CH–53D helicopters. 

Both legacy assets are suffering losses in battle and experiencing 

significant wear and tear in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom 

and Operation Enduring Freedom. Considering the CH–46E and 

CH–53D are no longer in production and nearing the end of their 

expected life, the Committee believes procurement of replacement 

aircraft needs to be accelerated to support Marine Corps operations. Now that the V–22 Osprey program has completed operational testing and entered full rate production, the Committee 

also believes the production efficiencies gained from this acceleration of replacement aircraft will result in substantial cost savings 

over the life of the program. 

UH–1Y Aircraft.—The request includes $74,000,000 to procure 

four UH–1Y aircraft. The Committee is aware that these funds are 

no longer executable in the current fiscal year. As a result, the 

Committee defers the funding to a future appropriations bill. 

AV–8 Series.—The supplemental request includes $31,947,000 to 

provide numerous upgrades and modifications to AV–8 aircraft. 

Several of the modifications appear to be upgrades not directly related to the global war on terror. In addition, a portion of the funds 

will not be obligated until fiscal year 2007. The Committee, therefore, reduces the request by $10,000,000 and encourages the Navy 

to pursue modification efforts in the traditional appropriation process. 

H–53 Series.—The Committee recommendation transfers 

$2,000,000 from the ‘‘Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, 

Navy’’ account to the ‘‘Aircraft Procurement, Navy’’ account to provide Blue Force Tracker/Moving Map capability for H–53s. Subsequent to the budget submission, it was determined this work is 

more properly funded in the procurement account. 
29 

E–2 Series.—The Committee recommendation denies $3,420,000 

requested for E–2C and C–2 cockpit instrument lighting. The Committee notes this request is an upgrade to existing cockpit lighting 

and is not urgently needed in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom 

or Operation Enduring Freedom. 

C–130 Series.—Subsequent to the budget submission, the Com- mittee was informed that $3,691,000 requested for KC–130T ALE 

dispensers is no longer a requirement. As a result, the Committee 

denies this request.

C–17 Aircraft Procurement.—The fiscal year 2007 budget request 

terminates the C–17 program at the end of the current multiyear 

procurement and closes the production line after acquisition of 180 

C–17s. The C–17 has proven itself to be a reliable and capable aircraft meeting requirements for both strategic and intra-theater tactical airlift. In 2005, C–17s flew over 24,000 sorties, carrying over 

228,000 passengers and lifting 265,000 tons of cargo. This airlift 

asset has proven invaluable in operations in the global war on terror, but at the cost of aging the equipment more rapidly than 

planned. The Committee is concerned that because of the heavy 

utilization supporting on-going operations, the planned inventory 

may not be sufficient to meet the current and future mobility needs 

of our armed forces and recommends $227,500,000 to fund advance 

procurement for additional aircraft procurement in fiscal year 

2008.

Joint Improvised Explosive Device Defeat [JIEDD].—Funds requested for this effort are included in the Joint IED Defeat Fund. 

Combat Engineer Equipment Up-Armoring Engineering Development.—The request includes $25,800,000 to develop add-on-armor 

[AoA] for construction engineer equipment deployed in support of 

Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. The 

Committee is aware a large portion of this request would procure 

armor installation kits that is more appropriately funded in the 

‘‘Other Procurement, Army’’ account. As a result, the Committee 

reduces the research and development request by $21,800,000 and 

addresses the armor purchase in the appropriate procurement account. 
35 

Engineer Vehicle Upgrade.—The supplemental request includes 

funds to develop assault bridging capability for Heavy Brigade 

Combat Teams. In the Committee’s view, this development effort is 

not an emergency requirement and should be financed through the 

annual appropriations process. The Committee, therefore, denies 

the request of $5,000,000. 

Biometrics.—The Committee is aware that the Defense Science 

Board is studying the management of the Department of Defense’s 

biometrics program and will make recommendations on whether or 

not the current structure is meeting the needs of the warfighters 

dependent on the system in Iraq and in the Global War on Terror. 

The Committee directs that no management changes be made until 

the Defense Science Board completes its study and informs the 

Congress of its recommendations.

$75,000,000 to USAID to continue its Community Action Program, 

a community reconstruction and development program that directly 

engages local Iraqi officials and civil society in democratic decisionmaking, of which not less than $10,000,000 is to be made available 

for the Marla Ruzicka Iraqi War Victims Fund. 

The Committee supports USAID’s Iraq Civil Society Program, 

which strengthens civil society organizations, independent media, 

and anti-corruption efforts in Iraq. A vibrant civil society and free 

media are key to Iraq’s democratic future, and the Committee directs that sufficient funds be made available for training and technical assistance to continue this successful program. The Committee recommends $40,500,000 for assistance for Pakistan, of which $15,000,000 is for reimbursement of funds expended 

to meet urgent needs associated with the October 2005 earthquake 

and $25,000,000 is for the reconstruction of hospitals and schools 

and the reestablishment of livelihoods. 

The Committee recommends $50,000,000 for assistance for Liberia for emergency employment activities, infrastructure develop-
42 

ment projects, democracy, human rights and rule of law programs, 

and activities to assist with the demobilization and reintegration of 

ex-rebel combatants. The Committee commends President JohnsonSirleaf for her aggressive reform agenda (including a crackdown on 

corruption and development of a professional civil service) and her 

commitment to justice for crimes committed by Charles Taylor. The Committee recommends $100,000,000 for assistance for Jordan, a key ally in the Middle East, for programs to continue and 

accelerate economic and social reforms, including infrastructure development, vocational training and education. The Committee notes 

that additional assistance will enhance stability in the region. The Committee recommends an additional $35,000,000 for assistance for Haiti, and remains concerned with the myriad challenges 

facing that country. Of this amount, $10,000,000 is for programs to 

increase economic opportunities, $10,000,000 is for police reform, 

and $15,000,000 is for judicial and legal reforms. The Committee does not include $65,000,000 for democracy programs in Iran under this heading. The Committee fully funds the 

request for Iran under appropriate accounts in this bill.

GENERAL PROVISIONS—THIS CHAPTER 

IRAQ RELIEF AND RECONSTRUCTION FUND

SEC. 1401. This provision adjusts current sector limitations 

under the heading ‘‘Iraq Relief and Reconstruction Fund’’ [IRRF] in 

Public Law 108–106 (as amended by Public Law 108–309), and extends the availability of IRRF funds for obligation for an additional 

4 years. 

ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS

SEC. 1402. This provision clarifies that supervision and administrative costs of the Department of Defense associated with a construction project funded with IRRF funds may be obligated at the 

time a construction contract is awarded, or for pre-existing contracts, by September 30, 2006. 

AUTHORIZATION OF FUNDS

SEC. 1403. This provision waives certain authorization requirements as there are no fiscal year 2006 foreign assistance and foreign relations authorization acts. 

PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY

SEC. 1404. This provision modifies current restrictions on assistance to the Palestinian Authority [PA] contained in Section 550 of 
45 

Public Law 109–102 by conditioning the availability of funds for 

the PA on a determination by the Secretary of State that the PA 

has acknowledged Israel’s right to exist as a Jewish state, renounced violence, and accepted and is adhering to all previous diplomatic Agreements and understandings with the United States 

Government, the Government of Israel, and the international community. 

The Committee commends the State Department’s review of assistance for the West Bank and Gaza, and requests to be consulted 

in a timely manner on proposed deviations, if any, from the fiscal 

year 2007 budget request. 

(RESCISSION)

SEC. 1405. This provision rescinds $13,200,000 from funds appropriated under the heading ‘‘Subsidy Appropriation’’ for the ExportImport Bank of the United States that are available for tied-aid

CHAPTER 6 

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 

MILITARY CONSTRUCTION 

Permanent Bases in Iraq.—The Committee noted in Senate Report 109–52, accompanying H.R. 1268, the Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act for Defense, the Global War on Terror, 

and Tsunami Relief, 2005, requests for emergency military construction must be considered against two broad criteria before individual projects can be considered on their merits: ‘‘whether the proposed spending is truly of an emergency nature, and whether the 

construction of permanent facilities (where proposed), rather than 

those of a more expeditionary nature, is appropriate.’’ 

It is the current policy of the United States to establish no permanent military bases in Iraq. The United States has not proposed 

to change that policy, and there is not yet a formalized means by 

which Iraq can accept or reject such a proposal were it offered. 

Against this backdrop, and given the long-term nature of military construction, both in the time it takes to construct and the duration for which it lasts, the Committee recommends approval of 

only those requested projects that immediately support operations 

ongoing in Iraq, rather than those requests which propose a longerterm presence. While these projects may indeed be of military 

value, they intend a more permanent presence than is the policy 

of the United States. 

Bagram Air Base, Afghanistan.—The Air Force recently provided 

the Committee with a base master plan for Bagram Air Base. However, the Committee understands that NATO will soon begin operations out of Bagram, yet there is no mention of consultation with 

NATO in the Bagram Air Base master plan. Further, there is no 

mention regarding the level of expected NATO presence or NATO 

cost-sharing on the installation. Until these questions are fully answered, the base master plan, while much improved, is incomplete, 

and funding military construction projects within the limited confines of Bagram is premature. 

The Committee has not provided the requested authority for the 

Secretary of Defense to transfer military construction funds between appropriations.

Counter IED/Urban Bypass Road, Iraq.—The Committee is fully 

supportive of efforts to stop the proliferation of improvised explosive devices [IED]. However, after discussion with Central Command officials, the Committee remains unconvinced that building 

an extensive new system of roadways which lack any force protection will achieve the shared goal of Central Command and the 

Committee to stop IED-related casualties. There are limited instances in which the Committee believes bypassing urban areas 

will provide the desired benefit, and the Committee has consequently recommended funding for these instances. 

Air Control Tower, Camp Taqaddum, Iraq.—The Committee understands this project is no longer needed. Therefore, no funds 

have been provided.

The Committee recommends $150,000,000 for the Rural Community Advancement Program account to respond to damages caused 

by hurricanes that occurred during the 2005 calendar year. 

The Committee is aware of the critical role community facilities 

played during the evacuations prompted by Hurricanes Katrina 

and Rita. Several communities in the affected areas were compelled 

to rely upon make-shift facilities to house evacuees from neighboring counties and parishes. In providing assistance through the 

Community Facilities Grant Program, the Committee encourages 

the Secretary to consider the benefits of community facilities that 

can serve a dual use by also providing emergency housing or staging facility capacity during severe weather events and other emergencies. 

FOOD AND NUTRITION SERVICE

CHILD NUTRITION PROGRAMS

The Committee commends the efforts of the Food and Nutrition 

Service [FNS] in the wake of Hurricane Katrina and notes that 

FNS permitted schools in hurricane affected areas to serve all 

meals free to attending children until February 28, 2006. However, 

the Committee is concerned that the extreme devastation to schools 

and communities in Hurricane Katrina affected areas has left 

many local schools without the ability to operate a normal accountability system as required by the Richard B. Russell National 

School Lunch Act. Many of these schools suffered a complete loss 

of records, cafeteria facilities and food service equipment. Further, 

many of the residents of these areas are homeless, dislocated, and 

have lost all personal financial records. Therefore, the Committee 

strongly encourages the Food and Nutrition Service to give special 

consideration to waivers related to the operation of school meal 

programs in communities affected by Hurricane Katrina.

House allowance .................................................................................... ........................... 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 1,135,000,000 

The Committee recommends an appropriation of $1,135,000,000 

for National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Operations, 

Research, and Facilities. The recommendation is $1,114,000,000 

above the 2006 supplemental estimate. 

The Committee recommendation includes $30,000,000, to be 

equally divided among Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana, for 

the Office of Coast Survey to conduct shipboard and autonomous 

underwater vehicle side scan sonar and multibeam mapping of fishing grounds to produce estimates of quantity and distribution of debris essential to refining cost estimates for the actual removal of 

debris. Included in this recommendation is funding for the Office 

of Response and Restoration to coordinate marine debris removal 

from tidal creeks, salt marshes, oyster beds, coastal wetlands, barrier islands, and the marine environment. In the wake of the numerous hurricanes of 2005, which greatly disrupted the water in 

the Gulf of Mexico, all previous mappings of those waters are now 

inaccurate. To date the only areas within the Gulf of Mexico that 

have been remapped are the vessel channels to allow for safe passage of ships coming in and out of the many ports along the Gulf 

of Mexico. The remainder of the Gulf of Mexico must also be 

mapped beginning with traditional fishing grounds in order to remove debris and begin the process of surveying stocks and reestablishing this element of the economy. It is also critical for the safety 

and security of our commercial and recreational fisherman that the 
54 

fishing grounds are properly mapped in order to prevent catastrophic accidents from occurring during the upcoming fishing season. This appropriation will not cover complete mapping of all impacted gulf areas, but will provide sufficient funds to allow NOAA 

to obligate for contract surveys for the remainder of the 2006 survey season. The Committee recommendation includes $1,000,000 for the 

Coastal Services Center to produce multi-hazard maps to assist 

with rebuilding the Coastal Zone affected by Hurricane Katrina 

and other hurricanes of the 2005 season. Prior to replacing the infrastructure along the Gulf of Mexico, new maps of water levels 

and hazards of storm surge must be produced to allow for fully informed decisions to be made regarding the best possible scenarios 

for rebuilding coastal communities. This analysis will use storm 

surge models, frequency, intensity and flooding risks to mitigate 

against future catastrophes caused by natural disasters. The Committee recommendation includes $2,000,000 for the Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services (CO–OPS) 

to establish Physical Oceanographic Reporting Systems (PORTS) 

along the Gulf of Mexico, like those currently installed in 13 port 

locations around the United States. Of the funds provided, 

$500,000 shall be for each of the Ports of Mobile, Alabama; 

Pascagoula and Gulfport, Mississippi; and New Orleans, Louisiana. 

PORTS provide access to accurate real-time water level data which 

allows U.S. port authorities and maritime shippers to make critical 

decisions regarding vessel routes in and out of harbors, maximize 

vessel tonnage and limit passage time. The Committee recommendation includes $2,000,000 for CO– 

OPS to repair and replace nine tide gauge stations in the northern 

Gulf of Mexico damaged during the hurricanes of 2005. The tide 

gauges are a critical component of our Nation’s Water Level Observing Network needed to provide critical navigational and storm 

tide information throughout extreme weather events such as hurricanes. The gauges provide critical observations to NOAA forecasters to predict storm surges and issue maritime weather warnings and forecasts. 

The Committee recommends an appropriation of $15,000,000 for 

the National Marine Fisheries Service to provide technical assistance to States and industry for oyster bed and shrimp ground rehabilitation, and continued surveys to examine seafood safety and 

abundance of species. Critical to rebuilding the commercial seafood 

industry in the Gulf of Mexico is cleaning and replacing oyster and 

shrimp grounds; monitoring toxic elements for potential contamination of shrimp, fish species and oysters; and abundance surveys to 

examine population recovery. 

The Committee recommendation includes $100,000,000 for the 

National Marine Fisheries Service to provide technical assistance 

to States and industry for oyster bed and shrimp ground rehabilitation, debris removal and cleaning, and to prepare for spat fall by 

planting sufficient amounts of cultch. 

The Committee recommendation includes $20,000,000 for the National Marine Fisheries Service and the National Ocean Service for 

its expertise to assist in rebuilding coastal communities, especially 

focusing on fisheries infrastructure, zoning to mitigate against fu-
55 

ture catastrophes and natural disasters, and building standards for 

coastal structures. 

The Committee recommendation includes $10,000,000 for the National Marine Fisheries Service in coordination with the Gulf of 

Mexico Fisheries Management Council and the Gulf States Marine 

Fisheries Commission to help implement planning efforts that will 

lead to capacity and effort reductions in Federal and State waters. 

The Committee recommendation includes $15,000,000 for the National Marine Fisheries Service in coordination with industry 

groups to develop and implement a seafood promotion strategy for 

Gulf of Mexico fisheries. 

The Committee recommendation includes $15,000,000 for the National Marine Fisheries Service retraining in coordination with the 

United States Department of Labor to coordinate and institute job 

for displaced fisheries workers into alternative occupations. 

The Committee recommendation includes $200,000,000 for the 

National Marine Fisheries Service in cooperation with the Gulf 

States Marine Fisheries Commission to replace fishing gear damaged or lost in the hurricanes, and deploy advanced versions of turtle exclusion devices and by-catch reduction devices. 

The Committee recommendation includes $50,000,000 for the National Marine Fisheries Service in coordination with State Marine 

Fisheries Agencies, State Recovery Authorities, and National Sea 

Grant Program to develop temporary marine services centers to 

cluster docking facilities, fuel, ice and provisions, offloading, processing and distribution and marine repair facilities for seafood industries. 

The Committee recommendation includes $300,000,000 for the 

National Marine Fisheries Service in coordination with the State 

marine fisheries agencies, State recovery authorities, and National 

Sea Grant Program for re-development of marinas, piers, docks, 

wharves and warehouses to support commercial and recreational 

fishing, and especially investments in public facilities supporting 

working waterfronts. 

The Committee recommendation includes $50,000,000 for the National Marine Fisheries Service in coordination with the Economic 

Development Administration for planning and support for fishingrelated marine industrial parks to cluster processing and marine 

support businesses in ways that increase access to key facilities 

and services, and enhance intermodal transportation of fishery 

products. 

The Committee recommendation includes $90,000,000 for the National Marine Fisheries Service in coordination with the Economic 

Development Administration for replacement of private fisheries 

infrastructure other than vessels. 

The Committee recommendation includes $10,000,000 for the National Marine Fisheries Service to implement rules where appropriate, and purchase and provide 1 year of associated fees to equip 

the off-shore shrimp and reef fish fishery with electronic vessel 

monitoring systems. 

The Committee recommendation includes $10,000,000 for the National Marine Fisheries Service to equip federally permitted fishing 

vessels with electronic logbooks to record haul-by-haul catch data. 
56 

The Committee recommendation includes $20,000,000 for the National Marine Fisheries Service or 1 percent coverage of the shrimp 

and reef fish fisheries with at-sea observer coverage to document 

catch, by-catch and profitability of these fisheries, for 3 years. 

The Committee recommendation includes $50,000,000 for the National Marine Fisheries Service in coordination with State marine 

fisheries agencies, and the Oceanic and Atmospheric Research Administration to develop and fund a cooperative research program to 

test various gears and to monitor the recovery of Gulf of Mexico 

fishery resources and fisheries. 

The Committee recommendation includes $100,000,000 for the 

National Marine Fisheries Service and National Ocean Service in 

coordination with the Economic Development Administration and 

Gulf States Marine Fisheries Commission for direct assistance to 

fishers and seafood workers to undertake cleanup activities and 

begin repairing damaged facilities. 

The Committee recommendation includes $20,000,000 for the National Marine Fisheries Service in cooperation with New England 

coastal States to assist shellfishermen in New England’s coastal 

communities who suffered severe economic impact from last year’s 

toxic red tide outbreak. 

The Committee recommendation includes $25,000,000 for the National Marine Fisheries Service, National Ocean Service, and Oceanic and Atmospheric Research Administration to employ fishers 

and vessel owners in marine debris and living marine resource assessment activities.

2006 supplemental estimate ................................................................. 1,025,236,000 

House allowance .................................................................................... 775,236,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 1,025,236,000 

The Committee recommendation fully supports the administration’s request of $1,025,236,000 for the Hurricane Katrina related 

cost impact on shipbuilding programs. The damage to the gulf coast 

region shipbuilding industrial base by Hurricane Katrina is unprecedented and has a direct impact on national security. Funding provided in this bill and previously provided in Public Law 109–148 

provide resources to replace destroyed or damaged equipment, business disruption, and related shipyard workforce costs at gulf coast 

shipyards impacted by hurricanes in the gulf coast region in 2005. 

These funds also provides resources to replace contractor furnished 

equipment for other Navy ship programs damaged or destroyed at 

vendors located in this region and for associated overhead impacts 

resulting from equipment delivery delays. 

It is in the best interest of Department of the Navy and national 

security to restore compromised shipyard capability. Slow shipyard 

restoration causes significant risk of cost increases and delayed 

ship deliveries to the Navy whose fleet size is the smallest since 

World War I. 

It is also in the interest of the Navy and United States Government to ensure industry seeks reimbursement by insurance companies to the maximum extent. The Committee expects the shipbuilders to reimburse the Navy with any insurance receipts they 

receive for interruptions to their business caused by Hurricane 

Katrina or other hurricanes of the 2005 season to the extent payment for that item of damage was made with supplemental funding. The Committee expects the Navy or appropriate agency to 

have complete visibility into the insurance claim process to ensure 

no redundant funding is received.

Funds totaling $3,750,000 are recommended subject to an official 

budget request, that includes designation of the entire amount as 

an emergency requirement, being transmitted by the President to 

the Congress. Of the total, $1,000,000 of the funding shall be used

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 122,850,000 
66 

The Committee is aware of the rapidly eroding coastline of south 

Louisiana. The wetlands surrounding the greater New Orleans 

metropolitan area operate as a natural buffer to lessen storm impacts, and are an important part of the overall storm damage reduction system. Nourishing and rebuilding these wetlands will increase the effectiveness of the levees and floodwalls of New Orleans. Therefore, the Committee has recommended bill language directing the Corps to use $122,850,000 at full Federal expense to reduce the risks of storm surge and storm damage to the greater 

New Orleans metropolitan area by restoring the surrounding wetlands, and to aid in the reduction of risk to both loss of life and 

damage to homes, businesses, and local infrastructure in the metropolitan area. The Corps is further directed to use these funds in 

the following manner: $10,000,000 to modify the Caernarvon 

Freshwater Diversion structure or its operations; $10,000,000 to 

protect the shoreline along Lake Borgne in St. Bernard Parish, 

Louisiana; $15,000,000 to protect the shoreline and create marsh 

along Irish Bayou and Chef Menteur Pass in Orleans Parish, Louisiana; $15,000,000 to create marsh along the Rigolets in Orleans 

and St. Tammany Parishes, Louisiana; $25,000,000 to create marsh 

in the Golden Triangle in Orleans and Jefferson Parishes, Louisiana; $15,000,000 to restore the ridge along Bayou La Loutre in 

St. Bernard Parish, Louisiana; and $10,000,000 to protect the 

shoreline along the Barataria Basin Landbridge in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana. 

Additional funds of $22,850,000 are recommended subject to an 

official budget request for a specific dollar amount that includes 

designation of the entire amount as an emergency requirement, 

being transmitted by the President to the Congress. Of the funding recommended, $20,850,000 is recommended for 

the following projects to mitigate the flood threat to the Sacramento, California, metropolitan area. 

These contingency funds should be distributed as follows: 

—$6,250,000 to accelerate the South Sacramento Streams, California Project. 

—$11,300,000 to accelerate construction of the Sacramento River 

Bank Protection Project, California. 

—$3,300,000 to accelerate the American River (Common Features), California project. 

Of the funding recommended, $2,000,000 at full Federal expense, 

is recommended for the Hawaii water systems technical assistance 

program (including technical studies of ditch and water supply systems, as identified by the State of Hawaii) to provide planning and 

technical analysis relating to the Kaloko and Morita Reservoir 

dams and other high hazard facilities, as identified by the State. 

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

2006 supplemental estimate ................................................................. ........................... 

House allowance .................................................................................... ........................... 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 4,700,000 

Funds totaling $4,700,000 are recommended, subject to an official budget request, that includes designation of the entire amount 

as an emergency requirement, being transmitted by the President 
67 

to the Congress. The funding shall be used to restore navigation 

channels and harbors to pre-storm conditions and to repair flood 

damage reduction and other projects in States affected by Hurricane Katrina and other hurricanes of the 2005 season. The funding 

provided is based on Corps of Engineers’ estimates of the requirements for the Texas Gulf Coast. The Committee expects the funds 

provided herein shall be expended substantially in accordance with 

those estimates. 

FLOOD CONTROL AND COASTAL EMERGENCIES

2006 appropriation to date .................................................................... $2,277,965,000 

2006 supplemental estimate ................................................................. 1,360,000,000 

House allowance .................................................................................... 1,360,000,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 2,001,500,000 

The Committee understands that additional funds will be needed 

to provide 100 year level of protection for the New Orleans Metropolitan area. The Administration has briefed members of Congress 

that this may require as much as an additional $6,000,000,000, but 

has not transmitted any request for additional funding to the Committee. The Committee notes that this 100 year level of protection 

is a regulatory requirement pertaining to flood insurance through 

the Federal Emergency Management Agency and that the estimates to support this number are preliminary. Contained within 

the fiscal year 2006 Energy and Water Conference Report is funding for the Army Corps of Engineers to carryout studies to determine this higher level of protection and the interim results are due 

in June 2006. Additionally, the Interagency Performance Evaluation Task Force report is also due by June 2006. The Committee 

expects that this report will describe the results of the forensic examination for the levee failures as well as describe the overall condition of the entire levee system and any weaknesses therein. Before the Committee can provide additional funding for the levee 

system in South Louisiana, it is critical that the Administration 

provide a definitive request, including a more rigorous accounting 

of needs than has been provided thus far. 

Funds totaling $2,001,500,000 are recommended to continue repairs to flood and storm damage reduction projects. These projects 

are to be funded at full Federal expense. 

The Committee has recommended $530,000,000 for construction 

of closures and pumping plants at the 17th Street, Orleans, and 

London Avenue Canals. Within the funds recommended, the Corps 

is expected to remove the existing pumping stations at the heads 

of the three canals and perform necessary work to realign the 

sumps with the new pumping stations at the mouths of the canals. 

The Committee is concerned about the interim pumping capacity 

the Corps is proposing at the temporary closures on the 17th 

Street, Orleans and London Avenue drainage canals. In particular, 

the Committee is concerned that the interim pumping capacity for 

the 17th Street Canal is proposed to be roughly one-fourth of the 

capacity of the existing number 6 pumping station on the canal. 

The Committee directs that the Corps provide adequate temporary 

pumping capacity to evacuate expected flows from the existing 

pumping stations in the three drainage canals in order to minimize 

interior flooding. 
68 

The Committee recommendation recommends $170,000,000 for 

levee armoring. The Committee has increased this amount in order 

to allow the Corps to better strengthen the levee system at transition points as well as in areas that face direct attack from wave 

action. 

The Committee recommends $350,000,000 to construct navigable 

closures, one near Seabrook on the Industrial Canal and the other 

on the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway west of its confluence with the 

Mississippi River-Gulf Outlet. The Committee recommendation includes $60,000,000 for incorporation of non-Federal levees on the west bank of the Mississippi 

River in Plaquemines Parish in order to provide improved storm 

surge protection and to protect evacuation routes. The Committee rcommends $250,000,000 for storm proofing interior pump stations to ensure their reliability during hurricanes, 

storms and high water events. 

The Committee has been informed that funds requested under 

this account are insufficient to fully fund the items requested or 

other emergency needs. Additional funds of $641,500,000 are recommended subject to an official budget request for a specific dollar 

amount that includes designation of the entire amount as an emergency requirement, being transmitted by the President to the Congress. These contingency funds should be distributed as follows: —$190,000,000 is provided for closures and pump stations for the 

three interior drainage canals. The Committee understands 

that the increase is due to refinements to the cost estimates 

and an increase in the project scope. Some of the additional 

funds would be used to remove the existing pumping stations 

and realign the drainage canals to direct interior flows to the 

new pump stations rather than having to pump the water 

twice within a few miles on the canal to evacuate the drainage 

water to Lake Ponchartrain. 

—$20,000,000 is provided for the navigable closures on the Industrial Canal and the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway. The Committee understands that additional funds are needed due to refinements of the cost estimates for these structures. 

—$30,000,000 is provided for repairs to non-Federal levees in 

Terrebonne Parish. The Committee understands that these 

local levees were damaged by the effects of Hurricane Rita. 

The Committee believes that repairs to these levees should be 

undertaken at Federal expense. This is consistent with the 

treatment of the non-Federal levees in Orleans, Jefferson, St. 

Bernard, and Plaquemines Parishes as proposed and funded in 

the third disaster supplemental. 

—$160,000,000 is provided to incorporate the West Bank nonFederal levee in Plaquemines Parish. The Committee understands that this is the current estimate to increase the levee 

height to provide storm surge protection. The large increase is 

due to the poor soil conditions in the area. 

—$94,000,000 is provided to incorporate the East Bank non-Federal levee in Plaquemines Parish. Incorporation of this levee 

was not included in the 2006 supplemental estimate however; 

the Committee believes it is prudent to include this levee as 

well. The Committee notes that terminal facilities for the Port 
69 

of Plaquemines are located throughout these leveed areas and 

that this port facility is the eleventh busiest port in the Nation 

handling nearly 56,000,000 tons of cargo in 2003, the latest 

year for which statistics are available. Further, the Committee 

understands that much of the support services and workers for 

the off-shore oil and gas industry are concentrated in 

Plaquemines parish as well as other significant infrastructure. 

—$130,000,000 is provided for additional levee armoring. The 

Committee is very concerned that the previous estimates for 

levee armoring given by the Administration were well over 

$600,000,000. The Committee recognizes that the original estimate may have been based on armoring all the levees and the 

current estimate is only for selected transition areas. However, 

the Committee believes the current request is much too low. 

The Committee believes that not only transition areas need to 

be protected, but those levees that are going to face direct attack from long-period ocean waves should also be armored. 

—$17,500,000 shall be used to restore previously appropriated 

emergency funds for 13 flood protection projects damaged in 

previous disasters in Brockway; Brookville; Burgettstown; 

Canonsburg; James G. Fulton Chartiers Creek; Leetonia; 

Meyersale; Millvalle; New Kensington; Saw Mill Run Pittsburgh; Sykesville; Tarentum; and Turtle Creek, Pennsylvania. 

Funds for these projects were withdrawn shortly after Katrina 

struck the Gulf Coast to address immediate needs. Previous 

supplemental appropriations have not been directed to repay 

these reprogrammed funds in order to make these storm repairs.

hurricanes of the 2005 season. Of the total recommended, 

$7,000,000 is for the relocation of the Gulfport Coast Guard Station, $80,914,000 is for the repair and reconstruction of the New 

Orleans Integrated Support Command Center, and $103,930,000 is 

for Katrina-related costs associated with material, equipment, facilities, and labor. This funding is designated as an emergency requirement. 

FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY

The Committee recognizes all the work the White House, the Department of Homeland Security [DHS], the Federal Emergency 

Management Agency [FEMA], the Government Accountability Office [GAO], and the DHS Inspector General have done in reviewing 

and analyzing the Federal response to Hurricane Katrina. These 

investigations have put forth many recommendations intended to 

strengthen the way the Federal Government prepares and responds 

to natural and man-made disasters. 

The Committee is concerned the Federal Government will not 

have ample time to review and implement these recommendations 

prior to the upcoming hurricane season, which begins in June 2006. 

It is imperative DHS implement changes that can be done easily 

and without the need for additional resources prior to June 1, 2006. 

The DHS Preparedness Directorate and FEMA are to brief the 

Committee, no later than May 30, 2006, on the differences in the 

preparedness, response, and recovery system as of May 2006 in 

comparison to a year ago. DHS is also expected to inform the Committee on the funding associated with implementing the recommendations listed in ‘‘The Federal Response to Hurricane 

Katrina Lessons Learned’’.

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 71,800,000 

The Committee recommends $71,800,000, an increase of 

$1,800,000 from the amount requested, for ‘‘Administrative and Regional Operations.’’ Of the total amount recommended, $70,000,000 

is provided for the reconstruction and improvement of existing public alert, warning and crisis communications systems in the gulf 

coast and $1,800,000 is provided for additional personnel needed in 

the Office of National Security Coordination. This funding is designated as an emergency requirement. 

The Committee understands there are numerous vacancies and 

‘‘acting’’ individuals in senior leadership positions in FEMA’s Re-
72 

gional Offices and Headquarters. The Committee believes strong 

permanent leadership is vital for carrying out FEMA’s mission. The 

Committee expects FEMA to fill these positions with well-qualified 

individuals as quickly as possible. 

PREPAREDNESS, MITIGATION, RESPONSE, AND RECOVERY

2006 appropriation to date .................................................................... $202,017,000 

2006 supplemental estimate ................................................................. 5,000,000 

House allowance .................................................................................... 10,000,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 10,000,000 

The Committee recommends $10,000,000, an increase of 

$5,000,000 from the amount requested for ‘‘Preparedness, Mitigation, Response, and Recovery’’ for ongoing recovery efforts in response to Hurricane Katrina and other hurricanes of the 2005 season. Of the total amount recommended, $5,000,000 is provided for 

additional personnel; $1,500,000 is provided for a logistics management system; $2,000,000 is provided for the pre-positioned essential equipment program; and $1,500,000 for the disaster claims system. This funding is designated as an emergency requirement. 

Additional Personnel.—The Committee recommendation includes 

$5,000,000 for FEMA to hire 60 full-time equivalents [FTEs]. The 

Committee recognizes the urgency in FEMA being adequately 

staffed and the difficulty the agency faces attracting and hiring 

well-qualified professionals. FEMA is to brief the Committee, no 

later than May 30, 2006, on the hiring initiatives to meet its staffing requirements and its staffing plan. 

Logistics Management System.—The Committee understands 

FEMA lacks technology and information management systems 

which are critical to track shipments and manage inventories. The 

Committee is disappointed there is no funding requested for 

strengthening this aspect of FEMA. Included in the total amount 

recomended is $1,500,000 for FEMA to begin to bring its logistic 

management system into the 21st century. Obligation of this funding is available once the FEMA is to submit an expenditure plan 

to the Committee prior to the obligation of these funds. 

Pre-positioning Essential Items/Equipment.—The Committee is 

concerned with FEMA’s reliance on other Federal agencies for the 

procurement and supply of essential items and equipment, including satellite communications. It is difficult for other Federal agencies to stockpile supplies for FEMA. An example of this is the Department of Defense’s inability to provide additional Meals-ReadyTo-Eat after Hurricane Katrina because of a limited supply left in 

the War Reserve Stockpile. FEMA is to brief the Committee, no 

later than May 30, 2006, on its procurement plan for essential 

items and equipment, including satellite communications. This 

plan should include how FEMA is working with both Federal agencies and the private industry to ensure ample supplies are available to meet future disaster needs. 

Disaster Claims System.—Both the DHS Inspector General and 

GAO have conducted several audits and investigations on the assistance provided to individuals and households as a result of Hurricane Katrina and other hurricanes of the 2005 season. These audits found weaknesses in the processes FEMA utilizes to review 

registration for disaster relief and approve assistance payments. 
73 

The Committee is disappointed no funding is requested to strengthen the claims process. 

The Committee understands FEMA is developing an Enterprise 

Content Management System to enhance its claims processing capacity. The Committee provides an additional $1,500,000 for this 

purpose. Obligation of this funding is available once the Secretary 

submits an expenditure plan to the Committee. 

Contracting.—GAO’s report on ‘‘Agency Management of Contractors Responding to Hurricanes Katrina and Rita’’ found problems 

with the implementation of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief 

and Emergency Assistance Act preference for utilizing contractors 

residing or doing business in the affected areas. The Committee believes the use of these contractors is important for revitalizing local 

economies in the gulf coast. FEMA is encouraged to issue additional Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance 

Act guidance to clarify how to determine if the company was in the 

affected area prior to the disaster and how preferences can be applied in the contract process. 

Mass Evacuation.—The Committee recognizes there were many 

problems evacuating individuals with disabilities and severe medical conditions before and after Hurricane Katrina. Although evacuation planning should be conducted by States, the White House report ‘‘The Federal Response to Hurricane Katrina Lessons 

Learned’’ recommends the Federal Government have a coordinated 

plan to evacuate this population when States are overwhelmed. 

DHS, in consultation with the Department of Transportation and 

the Department of Health and Human Services, is to provide a report by June 30, 2006 on the Federal plan to identify and evacuate 

special needs populations. The report is to incorporate efforts already underway by DHS as required by Public Law 109–90. 

Assessing Emergency Response.—After Hurricane Andrew tore 

through southern Florida in 1992, Congress asked the National 

Academy of Public Administration (the Academy) to conduct a comprehensive and objective study of the Federal, State, and local government’s capacity to respond promptly and effectively to major 

natural disasters. In February 1993, the Academy issued the study 

report, ‘‘Coping with Catastrophe: Building an Emergency Management System to Meet People’s Needs in Natural and Manmade Disaster.’’ The Committee believes many of the recommendations 

made in this report are still practical, relevant, and applicable to 

the responses to Hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Wilma as well as 

other disasters. The Academy’s 1993 findings and recommendations 

related to the role, organization, and operation of the Federal 

Emergency Management Agency should be reexamined, particularly after the incorporation of FEMA into the Department of 

Homeland Security. The Committee is also interested in a review 

of the Department’s overall organizational structure as it relates to 

preparedness, mitigation, emergency response and recovery and the 

pros and cons of these functions being separated among components of the Department. Therefore, the Committee directs the Secretary of Homeland Security to use the section 504 authority in 

Public Law 108–334 to provide $750,000 for the purpose of contracting with the National Academy of Public Administration for 

such a review. This notification is to be submitted to the House and 
74 

Senate Committees on Appropriations within 30 days from the date 

of enactment of this act and the funds to be made available to the 

Academy to begin the study within 30 days of approval.

The Committee recommends $10,600,000,000 for the Disaster Relief Fund [DRF]. Included in this amount is the $9,400,000,000 requested by the President for the following: $2,000,000,000 for ongoing individual and housing assistance needs; $5,000,000,000 for 

State/local infrastructure repair, grant and mitigation assistance; 

and $2,400,000,000 for other needs, including, FEMA mission assignments, on-going debris removal and other response requirements. An additional $1,200,000,000 is made available to carry out 

section 2503 of this chapter. This funding is designated as an emergency requirement. 

Housing Policy.—The Committee continues to be frustrated with 

the lack of a housing policy for the gulf coast. It is critical a comprehensive housing policy be developed immediately so appropriate 

resources can be provided for this region. The Committee is encouraged FEMA is working with the Department of Housing and Urban 

Development to assist States and local entities with their housing 

plans. The Secretary of Homeland Security shall submit an expenditure plan for housing prior to the obligation of DRF funds for this 

purpose.

The Committee recommends $83,000,000 for historic preserva- tion needs. Of these funds, $3,000,000 is for financial assistance to 

State Historic Preservation Offices in States that were damaged by 

Hurricane Katrina and other hurricanes of the 2005 season. These 

funds will assist the States in completing reviews under section 

106 of the National Historic Preservation Act. 

The remaining $80,000,000 shall be used to establish a grant 

program to facilitate the repair of thousands of historic structures 

that were damaged by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. These funds 

may be used to make grants for the preservation, stabilization, rehabilitation, and repair of historic houses and designated ‘‘Main

now in use at Gulf Islands National Seashore. In the aftermath of 

recent hurricanes, a much greater workload has significantly increased the stress on the current boat, which has already far exceeded its expected useful life. The new vessel would be used to 

transport personnel, equipment, supplies and materials for cleanup 

and reconstruction projects in both the Mississippi and Florida Districts of the Seashore.

$5,500,000 for the New Orleans, Louisiana Job Corps center. The 

House did not consider this recommendation, for which there was 

no budget request. 

The Committee rejects the administration’s proposal to rescind 

$75,000,000 of appropriations for construction and renovation of 

Job Corps centers. The Committee expects the Department of 

Labor to make these funds available immediately for Job Corps facilities and expansion activities.

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 2,000,000 

The Committee recommendation includes $2,000,000 for the Department of Labor Inspector General to support audits and investigations related to Hurricane Katrina and other hurricanes of the 

2005 season. The House included these funds as part of the appropriation to the Inspector General of the Department of Homeland 

Security, as proposed by the administration.

2006 supplemental estimate ................................................................. ........................... 

House allowance .................................................................................... ........................... 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 6,000,000 

The Committee recommendation includes $6,000,000 for Community Health Centers to establish a communications network among 

Community Health Centers, the Departments of Health and Major 

Medical Centers in States affected by Hurricane Katrina and other 

hurricanes of the 2005 season. Funds are also provided for satellite 

phones and other communications equipment. The administration 

did not request funds for this activity. 

During Hurricane Katrina, a large portion of the public health 

infrastructure in Mississippi was destroyed. Providing health care 

services to survivors and evacuees was severely hampered because 

no phone services or other communications devices were available 

to coordinate care. The funds recommended by the Committee 

would set up a communications network and provide satellite 

phones and other communications equipment to provide prompt 

health care in the event of future disasters. 

The Committee expects these funds to be distributed by June 30, 

2006 so that systems can be in place early in the hurricane season. 

Where they exist, State associations representing community 

health centers should be the primary recipients of these funds and 

coordinate distribution to other entities.

activities in States affected by Hurricane Katrina and other hurricanes of the 2005 season. The Committee notes that mosquito and 
79 

other insect activity in storm-damaged areas of the gulf coast has 

gone beyond the level of nuisance and is now a public health hazard that could lead to the spread of infectious diseases.

The Committee recommends $200,000,000 to carry out section 

2701 of this Act, which establishes an Education Relief Loan Program for eligible postsecondary educational institutions. These 

funds are available until expended. The administration did not request funds for this purpose, nor were any funds included in House 

bill, H.R. 4939, for this reason. 

The Committee recommendation includes an additional 

$300,000,000 for Temporary Emergency Impact Aid for Displaced 

Students, as authorized by section 107 of title IV, division B of 

Public Law 109–148. The House bill, H.R. 3949, did not include

Public Law 109–148, these resources will reimburse schools for the 
80 

additional costs they incurred educating students displaced by the 

gulf hurricanes.

$350,000,000 for the Temporary Impact Aid program authorized in 

the Hurricane Education Recovery Act. These funds are available 

until expended.

The Committee recommends $623,000,000 for Construction, 

Major Projects, which is $23,000,000 above the administration’s request and $73,000,000 above the House allowance. 

Of the funds provided, $561,000,000 shall be for a replacement 

Veterans Affairs Medical Center in New Orleans, Louisiana and 

$62,000,000 shall be for the disposal and cleanup of the land associated with the VA’s medical facilities in Gulfport, Mississippi. 

The Committee is supportive of the VA’s request to replace the 

damaged VA Medical Center in New Orleans, Louisiana. The Committee previously appropriated $75,000,000 for planning and design 

associated with the construction of a new medical facility in New 

Orleans. Subsequent to the appropriation of $75,000,000, the VA 

transmitted to the Congress a report on reestablishing a VA Medical Center in New Orleans. As part of this report, the VA estimated a total of $636,000,000 as the cost for accomplishing this 

goal. The recommendation in this supplemental brings total funds 

appropriated for the construction of a new medical facility to 

$636,000,000, thus fully funding the project. However, the Committee is concerned about future flood risk for any new facility constructed in the New Orleans floodplain. Therefore, the Committee 

encourages the Department to explore all options for the future site 

of the replacement medical center and must take into account the 

probability of flooding before a final decision is made or location is 

chosen. The construction of the new medical center should be designed to withstand future hurricanes. The Committee also encourages the Department to establish an affiliation with another medical facility and/or current affiliations and consider constructing a 

shared facility. However, the Committee cautions the Department 

not to enter into an agreement where the VA pays for more than 

its share in the name of collaboration. 

The Committee recommendation also includes $62,000,000 for 

the land disposal environmental cleanup and debris removal of the 

Gulfport, Mississippi VA Medical Center. The attached bill directs 

the Department of Veterans Affairs to transfer the property associated with the VA’s medical facility to the city of Gulfport, Mississippi and includes $50,000,000 to compensate the VA. Before 

any such transfer may take place, the VA shall undertake an environmentally cleanup of the property. The Committee recommendation includes $12,000,000 for this purpose. 

The Committee recommendation does not include a general provision, proposed in the supplemental request, to provide the Department of Veterans Affairs with the authority to transfer 

$122,000,000 of previously appropriated funds from the ‘‘Veterans 

Health Administration-Medical Services’’ account to other accounts 

in the Department. The Committee recommendation does, however, 
85 

include language making available until expended the 

$198,625,000, originally provided in Public Law 109–148. In addition, the Committee has provided the Department transfer authority for these funds.

Committee recommendation ................................................................. $176,000,000 

The Committee recommends $176,000,000 for major construction 

for the Armed Forces Retirement Home—Gulfport, Mississippi 

(AFRH—Gulfport, Mississippi), $176,000,000 above both the administration’s request and the House allowance. The Committee 

appreciates the heroic perseverance of the Armed Forces Retirement Home residents and staff in Gulfport, Mississippi, and Washington, DC, in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Further, the 

Committee understands its obligation to the residents of the Home, 

veterans who sacrificed much for the United States and performed 

nobly when called to duty. These veterans deserve nothing less 

than the average citizen receiving aid from the Federal Government in the aftermath of this disaster. They deserve the firm assurance of their Government that they will be allowed to return 

home as soon as possible. 

Therefore, the Committee has provided additional funding, to be 

combined with prior unobligated balances, which shall be used to 

construct a new multi-building, campus-style facility on the site occupied by the former AFRH—Gulfport, Mississippi. This facility 

will allow the residents to be fully reintegrated into the Gulfport 

community while still providing for the facility to be a component 

of the master plan for the gulf coast as it rebuilds. This plan will 

also allow the continued close relationship between AFRH—Gulfport, Mississippi and the Seabees at NCBC Gulfport, Mississippi, 

who provided critical assistance to the residents of AFRH—Gulfport, Mississippi during and after Hurricane Katrina.

Hurricane Katrina for expenses related to emergency response and 

recovery of public transportation equipment, facilities, and services, 

as determined by the Secretary of Transportation. Under this account, the Secretary may waive Federal matching share requirements or any other statutory Federal transit program requirement, 

as the Secretary determines. The Secretary may also allow urbanized areas that he determines to have been directly affected by 

Hurricane Katrina and having a population of 200,000 or greater 

to use Federal transit funds for operating assistance as well as capital projects to facilitate response and recovery. The Secretary’s authority under this section shall expire 2 years after the date of enactment of this section, unless otherwise determined by the Secretary for a compelling need.

CAPITAL GRANTS FOR RAIL LINE RELOCATION

2006 appropriation to date .................................................................... ........................... 

2006 supplement estimate .................................................................... ........................... 

House allowance .................................................................................... ........................... 

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

The Committee recommends $700,000,000 for the Rail Line Relocation Capital Grant program in order to mitigate damage to this 

important link to transport commerce in the gulf coast region. 

These funds would be used to relocate tracks that are currently located along the coast of Mississippi and provide a connection within the footprints of tracks farther north and outside the scope of 

any anticipated hurricane danger. In particular, the Committee is 

concerned with the movement of commerce and the safety of citizens in the gulf coast region as a result of the effects of Hurricane 

Katrina and the risks posed by future hurricanes. 

The damaged railroad line is a major east and west freight corridor adjacent to the Mississippi gulf coast. It is vitally important 

to numerous Mississippi, Louisiana, and Alabama industries and 

essential to the successful operations of major Gulf of Mexico ports. 

The rail line in Mississippi sustained major damage and total destruction in some areas as a result of Hurricane Katrina’s powerful 

winds and water surges: eleven bridges were destroyed, more than 

38 miles of track were a complete loss, signaling and safety systems were demolished, and many track beds were completely 

washed out along the rail corridor. As a result of Hurricane 

Katrina, the rail line was out of commission for 143 days and has 

since re-opened only on a temporary basis. 

Even prior to Katrina, residents, business leaders, and local and 

State officials seriously considered relocating the rail line inland 

from its present location to alleviate burgeoning traffic and safety 

concerns. Gridlock and traffic congestion associated with the railroad continually worsened as the region’s tourism industry grew. 

Along Mississippi’s gulf coast alone, there are 170 grade crossings, 

and risks to motorists and pedestrians have increased exponentially as development has occurred. From January 2000 to August 
88 

2005, 90 grade crossing accidents involving trains were reported to 

the Federal Railroad Administration.

which the FRA is currently considering a product safety plan. This 

initiative should build upon an existing train control demonstration 

project to which the FRA has contributed funding and which has 

successfully demonstrated train control overlay technology in 

freight revenue service.

House allowance .................................................................................... ........................... 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 202,000,000 

The Committee recommends $202,000,000 in additional funds for 

section 8 tenant- and project-based rental housing assistance. The 

administration proposed the same funding level solely for vouchers. 

These funds, however, will help cover any shortfalls in rental contracts supported by section 8 funds appropriated under Public Law 

109–148 (December 30, 2005) to assist previously assisted HUD 

tenants in obtaining housing. In addition, no less than 

$100,000,000 of the funds made available under this heading are 

to be used to provide project-based assistance for the repair, rebuilding, and other needs of assisted housing damaged by Katrina 

and the other hurricanes of the 2005 season in the gulf. These 

funds will help expedite the preservation of the stock of low-income 

housing in the gulf. In addition, these funds may also be used to 

subsidize new tax credit projects where these projects are replacing 

destroyed or obsolete project-based housing or where low-income 

housing needs are greatest. The Committee directs HUD to report 

to the Committees on Appropriations every 6 months from the date 

of enactment on the use of project-based assistance under this account. 

The Committee understands that the impacted States have developed plans to address the needs of the most vulnerable citizens—namely, people with disabilities, the elderly, and the homeless. For example, one State has adopted a plan to create permanent supportive housing for people with special needs as part of its 

broader rental housing rebuilding strategies. Accordingly, the Committee urges the Department to work with the States in addressing 
89 

the needs of the disabled, the elderly, and the homeless, and directs the Secretary to submit a report to the House and Senate 

Committees on Appropriations within 180 days after the date of enactment of this act on the States’ efforts in addressing these needs. 

COMMUNITY PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT FUND

(INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

2006 appropriation to date .................................................................... $14,532,000,000 

2006 supplemental estimate ................................................................. 4,200,000,000 

House allowance .................................................................................... 4,200,000,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 5,200,000,000 

The Committee recommends $5,200,000,000 in CDBG funds for 

disaster relief, long-term recovery, and restoration of infrastructure 

in the most impacted and distressed areas related to the consequences of Katrina and the other hurricanes of 2005 in the Gulf 

of Mexico. The administration proposed $4,200,000,000 solely for 

Louisiana. Because other States still have significant disaster-related needs, the Committee has included $5,200,000,000. In particular, Mississippi still has significant needs that will not be adequately addressed through the earlier appropriation. No State may 

use more than 5 percent of amounts allocated for administrative 

costs directly associated with administering these funds. The Committee directs that no less than $1,000,000,000 of the 

amounts appropriated under this heading be used for repair, rehabilitation, and reconstruction (including demolition, site clearance, 

and remediation of the low-income affordable housing stock, including HUD-assisted housing and public housing). None of the impacted States have focused adequately on low-income housing and 

the needs of low-income families. The Committee also expects that 

any State receiving CDBG funds under this account will use no 

less than the pro-rata share of those funds for low-income housing. The Committee includes $12,000,000 for the HUD Office of the 

Inspector General to ensure the IG has adequate resources to address fraud and abuse as well as provide adequate accountability 

for the use of CDBG funds throughout this region. 

The Committee notes, that while the Department can waive the 

requirement that 50 percent of all funds be used to benefit lowand moderate-income persons, HUD has never waived this requirement and can do so only for a compelling need. The Committee considers this a substantial requirement and does not expect such a 

waiver as a practical matter. In addition, CDBG funds may only be 

released where a State submits a detailed plan on how the funds 

will be used to address long-term recovery and the restoration of 

infrastructure. HUD has the burden to ensure the plan gives priority to these needs as well as to the rehabilitation and reconstruction of the affordable rental housing stock, including public housing 

and HUD-assisted housing. 

The Committee believes that some may have unrealistic expectations of how CDBG funds can be used. For example, CDBG funds 

cannot generally be used for public safety and homeland security, 

uncompensated care and mental health services, the reimbursement of educational services, and social services and emergency 
90 

services. These activities and needs are within the purview of other 

subcommittees and other programs. Any analysis of need should be 

balanced to include an assessment of any public benefit which may 

have accrued in certain areas because of a disaster such as the increased rental of housing units and increased employment.

The Committee recommends $37,000,000 to continue to support 

the short- and long-term repair and alterations of buildings damaged by the hurricanes of 2005, the same as the administration request. Federal buildings throughout the gulf coast received significant wind and water damage with estimated repair and alteration 

costs far in excess of GSA’s ability to absorb these costs. These 

funds will pay for the clean up and repair work that is necessary 

to make these facilities safe and fully functional.

2006 supplemental estimate ................................................................. ........................... 

House allowance .................................................................................... ........................... 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 2,300,000,000 

The Committee recommendation provides $2,300,000,000, to be 

available until expended, for the Department of Health and Human 

Services Public Health and Social Services Emergency Fund to prepare for and respond to an influenza pandemic. The Committee 

notes that this appropriation will fulfill the second year’s funding 

for pandemic influenza activities as originally requested by the administration. Appropriating these funds at this time enables longterm plans developed by the department and pharmaceutical manufacturers to be based on actual appropriations. 

The Committee recommendation includes bill language designating $300,000,000 for building State and Local Capacity; 

$50,000,000 for laboratory capacity and research at the Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention [CDC]; and at least $200,000,000 

for the CDC to carry out global and domestic disease surveillance, 

laboratory capacity and research, risk communication, laboratory 

diagnostics, rapid response and quarantine. 

The balance of the funds provided are available to support, at the 

Secretary’s discretion, other core preparedness activities, such as 

expanding the domestic production capacity of influenza vaccine, 

developing and stockpiling pandemic vaccine, and stockpiling 

antivirals and other medical supplies necessary to protect and preserve lives in the event of an outbreak of pandemic influenza. 

The Committee directs the Secretary to provide on a semi-annual 

basis to the House and Senate Appropriations Committees a report 

identifying the disbursements of funds received under this heading 

and a listing of the governments, companies and organizations that 

received funding. The report should include the amount and purpose of each grant or other form of assistance. Finally, the report 

should include the cumulative obligations by activity of the funds 

made available under this heading for pandemic preparedness, as 

well as any remaining unobligated balances.

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

(INCLUDING RESCISSION OF FUNDS)

SEC. 7014. The Committee recommends rescinding $3,960,000 

from the Office of Screening Coordination and Operations [SCO]. 

The Committee notes that 5 months into the fiscal year the SCO 

has not been established. Rather than establish another new office 

for departmental integration, the Committee recommends the funding for the SCO be made available to the Office of the Secretary 

and Executive Management for the Office of Policy. The Office of 

Policy was established to integrate polices across the Department 

and is capable of developing a unified strategy for screening, developing coordinated screening policies, overseeing screening programs, and establishing unified standards. The additional 

$3,960,000 recommended will allow the Office of Policy to carry out 

these functions or other priorities.

of the Interior to collect fees pursuant to the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act until September 30, 2007. 

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR—OFFICE OF JOB CORPS

SEC. 7017. The Committee recommends a general provision 

which prohibits the Department of Labor from carrying out Secretary’s Order 09–2006. This Order, to establish the Office of Job 

Corps as an independent agency within the Department of Labor 

as mandated by Congress, instead fragments authority to other offices, contrary to the intent of the law. The Committee directs the 

Secretary to immediately transfer the Office of Job Corps intact, retaining all its staff, functions, and authorities. 

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR—MINE SAFETY

SEC. 7018. The Committee has included an additional 

$25,600,000 to supplement the inspection of coal mines. This funding is intended to hire additional FTE’s to enforce the relevant provisions of the Mine Safety and Health Act and regulations pertaining to that act. The Committee does not intend for this funding 

to supplant current enforcement activities. While this money shall 

be available for 2 years to give the Mine Safety and Health Administration the time to hire and train additional personnel, it is expected that the Mine Safety Health Administration will rapidly 

hire and train 217 additional FTEs for the coal mine inspection 

teams. The Committee recommendation includes bill language requiring the Secretary to submit progress reports on hiring to the 

Committee on Appropriations of the House of Representatives and 

the Committee on Appropriations of the Senate on a quarterly 

basis, with the first report due June 15, 2006. 

CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL—MINE SAFETY

SEC. 7019. The Committee has included an additional 

$10,000,000 for research to develop mine safety technology. In particular, the Committee directs that the funding be used for mine 

rescue chambers, emergency tracking, breathing and communication devices. The Committee is aware that significant advances 

have been made in the fields of communications, robotics, chemistry and other sciences that can be brought to bear on mine safety. 

For that reason, the Committee is eager that grants be made to institutions that routinely partner on these types of research with 

other Federal agencies such as the Department of Defense, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the Department of 

Homeland Security and the Department of Energy. The Committee 
98 

recommendation includes bill language requiring the Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention to submit progress reports on 

grant-making and research findings to the Committee on Appropriations of the House of Representatives and the Committee on 

Appropriations of the Senate on a quarterly basis, with the first report due June 15, 2006. 

LOW INCOME HOME ENERGY ASSISTANCE

The Committee recommendation strikes the general provision in 

the House bill amending section 9001 of the Deficit Reduction Act 

of 2005, allowing $750,000,000 in fiscal year 2007 funds to be obligated in fiscal year 2006. Subsequent to House action, Public Law 

109–204 provided $1,000,000,000 for this program, bringing the 

total available for fiscal year 2006 to $3,161,170,000. 

RAILROAD RETIREMENT BOARD

SEC. 7020. The Committee recommendation includes a new general provision making a technical correction regarding the Dual 

Benefits Payments Account. 

HEADSTART REGULATIONS EFFECTIVE DATE

SEC. 7021. The Committee recommendation includes a new general provision extending the effective date for enforcement of Head 

Start transportation regulations. 

CAPE CANAVERAL AIR STATION, FLORIDA

The Committee agrees that of the funds made available in the 

Military Construction, Military Quality of Life, and Veterans Affairs Appropriations Act, 2006 (Public Law 109–114), the funds provided for the ‘‘Satellite Processing Operations Support Facility’’ at 

Cape Canaveral Air Station, Florida, may be used for the ‘‘Satellite

DETAIL AUTHORITY FOR DOT

SEC. 7025. The Committee includes a provision that permits the 

Department of Transportation’s Office of Intelligence, Security, and 

Emergency Response to assess and enter into certain reimbursable 

agreements with the modal administrations for services necessary 

to carry out emergency preparedness or emergency response activities The provision also authorizes the Secretary of Transportation 

to detail modal administration employees to the Office of Intelligence, Security, and Emergency Response without reimbursement 

and for fixed periods of time as necessary to carry out emergency 

preparedness or emergency response activities with reports to the 

House and Senate Committees on Appropriations on these details. 

EMERGENCY HIGHWAY FUNDS

SEC. 7026. The Committee includes a provision that replaces the 

funding cap for the repair and reconstruction of the I–10 bridge 

spanning New Orleans and Slidell, Louisiana from $629,000,000 to 

$803,000,000. 

LIMITATION ON CERTAIN TRANSPORTATION ACTIONS

SEC. 7027. While the Committee has not specifically addressed 

the issue of foreign control of U.S. airlines as proposed by the Department of Transportation, the Committee believes that the U.S. 

aviation industry is part of our critical infrastructure as are the 

ports. For this reason, it is critical that any final rule regarding 

foreign control of U.S. airlines not only comply with current laws 

regarding foreign ownership, but also comply with statutes recently
