FEDERAL PAYMENTS

FEDERAL PAYMENT FOR RESIDENT TUITION SUPPORT

The Committee recommends a Federal payment of $25,600,000 

for the resident tuition support program, $8,700,000 above the fiscal year 2004 appropriation and $8,600,000 above the President’s 

request. These funds are to be used on behalf of eligible District of 

Columbia residents to pay an amount based upon the difference between in-State and out-of-State tuition at eligible public and private institutions of higher education. 

The program was created by the District of Columbia College Access Act of 1999 and has given thousands of District college-bound 

students the opportunity to expand their higher education choices. 

The program receives its funding through a Federal appropriation 

which is deposited into a dedicated account under the control of the 

District of Columbia Chief Financial Officer. Over 6,000 students 

have received grant awards since the inception of this program. 

And in June of this year the first group of students graduated from 

college. The program will celebrate its sixth year of operation in fiscal year 2005. The Committee looks forward to a report from the 

Resident Tuition Support Office on the status of this popular program. 

FEDERAL PAYMENT FOR EMERGENCY PLANNING AND SECURITY

COSTS

The Committee recommends a Federal payment of $15,000,000 for emergency planning and security costs, $4,065,000 above the 

fiscal year 2004 appropriation and the same as the President’s request. These funds are for emergency planning and security costs 

related to the presence of the Federal government in the District 

of Columbia and surrounding jurisdictions. 

FEDERAL PAYMENT TO THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA COURTS

The Committee recommends a Federal payment of $202,110,000 

for operation of District of Columbia Courts, including the Family 

Court, $35,335,000 above the fiscal year 2004 appropriation and 

$25,959,000 below the President’s request. This amount includes 

$8,952,000 for the Court of Appeals, $84,948,000 for the Superior 

Court, $40,699,000 for the Court System, and $67,511,000 for capital improvements to courthouse facilities. 

Given current budgetary constraints, coupled with competing demands for resources, the Committee was unable to provide the full 

funding requested by the District of Columbia Courts for the restoration of the Old Courthouse facility. The Committee is supVerDate jul 14 2003 21:44 Jul 19, 2004 Jkt 094890 PO 00000 Frm 00011 Fmt 6659 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\HR610.XXX HR610
12

portive of this important project as well as the overall effort to restore the Judiciary Square area of the city. The Committee is committed to providing the remainder of the funds necessary for completion of the Old Courthouse project as part of the fiscal year 2006 

appropriations process. In the interim, the Committee has provided 

bill language allowing the District of Columbia Courts to enter into 

a construction contract that includes the full scope of the project. 

Should unanticipated needs arise, the Committee has provided bill 

language allowing for the reallocation of not more than four percent of the total funds provided to the Courts for facilities. The 

Committee believes that this will provide the Courts with sufficient 

funding flexibility to move forward with the Old Courthouse project 

this year. 

DEFENDER SERVICES IN THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA COURTS

The Committee recommends $41,500,000 for Defender Services 

in District of Columbia Courts, $9,689,000 above the fiscal year 

2004 appropriation and the same as the President’s request. These 

funds provide payment for counsel appointed in proceedings in the 

Family Court of the Superior Court and under the District of Columbia Guardianship, Protective Proceedings, and Durable Power 

of Attorney Act of 1986. 

FEDERAL PAYMENT TO THE COURT SERVICES AND OFFENDER

SUPERVISION AGENCY FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA

The Committee recommends a Federal payment of $183,490,000 

for the Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency (CSOSA) 

and the Public Defender Service for the District of Columbia, 

$16,049,000 above the fiscal year 2004 appropriation and 

$4,000,000 below the President’s request. This amount includes 

$115,343,000 for Community Supervision and Sex Offender Registration, $39,314,000 for the Pretrial Services Agency, and 

$28,833,000 as a transfer to the Public Defender Service. 

The Committee understands that with the additional funding 

provided in fiscal year 2005 the renovation of the new re-entry and 

sanctions center at Karrick Hall will be completed. This re-entry 

and sanctions center will be able to treat approximately 1,200 offenders annually. 

The Committee directs that within the funds provided to CSOSA, 

$200,000 is to be used to continue the GPS electronic monitoring 

program, and $1,000,000 is to be used to continue efforts to reduce 

supervision caseload ratios. 

FEDERAL PAYMENT TO THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA WATER AND

SEWER AUTHORITY

The Committee recommends a Federal payment of $10,000,000 to 

the District of Columbia Water and Sewer Authority (WASA), 

$19,823,000 below the fiscal year 2004 appropriation and the same 

as President’s request. These funds are to continue implementation 

of the Combined Sewer Overflow Long-Term Plan and are to be 

matched 100 percent by WASA. 

The District’s combined sewer system was designed and constructed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in the late 1800’s 

and serves about a third of the District. The capacity of the system 

13

is exceeded during storms with the excess flow being discharged to 

the Anacostia and Potomac Rivers, Rock Creek, and tributary waters. WASA has developed a long-term plan to control these overflows and improve the water quality of the rivers. The plan is estimated to cost $1.3 billion and take between 15 to 40 years to complete depending on how much Federal assistance is obtained. While 

the Committee is supportive of the project and is providing funding 

for it in the bill, the Committee does not have the resources to provide the level of funding WASA is seeking from the Federal government. Therefore, the Committee strongly encourages WASA to pursue other sources of public and private funding. 

FEDERAL PAYMENT FOR THE ANACOSTIA WATERFRONT INITIATIVE

The Committee recommends a Federal payment of $3,000,000 for 

the Anacostia Waterfront Initiative, $1,971,000 below the fiscal 

year 2004 appropriation and the same as the President’s request. 

These funds are for the design and construction of a continuous pedestrian and bicycle trail system from the Potomac River to the 

District’s border with Maryland. 

The Anacostia Waterfront Initiative is a multi-year, multi-project 

initiative to revitalize the Anacostia River and its waterfront communities. The design and construction of a continuous pedestrian 

and bicycle trail system from the Potomac River to the District’s 

border with Maryland is one such project. The project will take approximately four years to complete, one year for design and three 

years for construction. The Committee provides $3,000,000 to begin 

construction in fiscal year 2005. The Committee will reassess the 

funding requirements for this project in the future. 

FEDERAL PAYMENT TO THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE COORDINATING

COUNCIL

The Committee recommends a Federal payment of $1,300,000 to 

the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council, $8,000 above the fiscal 

year 2004 appropriation and the same as the President’s request. 

These funds are to support initiatives related to the coordination 

of Federal and local criminal justice resources in the District of Columbia. 

The Committee recognizes the Criminal Justice Coordinating 

Council (CJCC) as an important agency within the law enforcement 

and criminal justice community in the District of Columbia. Federal and local agencies are expected to demonstrate accountability 

on the initiatives undertaken each year to improve public safety in 

the city. To this end, we request the CJCC collect and analyze data 

that measures progress made on the individual CJCC initiatives 

and to include these measures in the annual report. CJCC agencies 

will be expected to share information and data with CJCC by utilizing the JUSTIS integrated information system for tracking and 

monitoring individuals throughout the criminal justice system and 

providing the required information to the Statistical Analysis Center. 

14

FEDERAL PAYMENT FOR CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT IN THE DISTRICT OF

COLUMBIA

The Committee recommends a Federal payment of $7,000,000 to 

the District of Columbia for capital development, $1,102,000 below 

the fiscal year 2004 appropriation and $7,000,000 above the President’s request. These funds are for construction of the new multiagency Unified Communications Center. 

FEDERAL PAYMENT FOR PUBLIC SCHOOL LIBRARIES

The Committee recommends a Federal payment of $6,000,000 to 

the District of Columbia Public School Libraries for a new library/

learning center initiative. These funds are subject to a 100 percent 

match by the District of Columbia Public Schools. 

The Committee is concerned with the very poor physical condition of some of the District’s public school libraries, and with the 

lack of library resources available to students and teachers. Therefore, the Committee has provided an additional $6,000,000, subject 

to a one-to-one match from the District of Columbia Public Schools 

(DCPS) for a new library/learning center enhancement initiative. 

The intent of this new program is to enhance elementary school libraries as fully functioning learning centers and, in doing so, help 

provide the critical educational resources that our children deserve 

in order to receive a quality education. 

The Committee envisions this new initiative as a collaborative 

program designed to bring together local, Federal, and possibly private resources. In this light, the Committee urges the DCPS to continue to work with the Library of Congress (Library), and to expand this relationship to include not only the Library’s surplus 

book program, but also their excess equipment program. This 

evolving relationship between DCPS and the Library will allow 

DCPS to secure not only books and periodicals, but also information technology resources for their elementary school learning centers. The Library of Congress has also discussed with the Committee the possibility of developing an information technologytraining program. While the Library does not have an accredited 

training program, they do provide teachers with some hands-on 

training. DCPS should consider whether such training complements DCPS’s current teacher training programs. In addition, 

DCPS should coordinate it’s current E-Rate program within the 

context of this new initiative as a way of obtaining the maximum 

benefits possible in the restoration and enhancement of its library/

learning centers. 

The Committee directs that the Federal portion of these funds be 

used for the acquisition of library resources including, but not limited to, books, periodicals, computers, and software. The matching 

component of this program should be used to renovate library space 

to include, but not limited to, such things as wiring, furniture, and 

any physical enhancement projects that are necessary to transform 

these libraries into fully functioning learning centers. However, 

these funds should not be used for major construction projects. 

As soon as practicable after passage of this Act, DCPS should develop a prioritized assessment of their elementary school library 

needs. Within the resources provided for this new initiative, DCPS 

should allocate funding to those elementary schools with the greatVerDate jul 14 2003 21:44 Jul 19, 2004 Jkt 094890 PO 00000 Frm 00014 Fmt 6659 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\HR610.XXX HR610
15

est need for library/learning centers. The Committee directs that 

DCPS provide a biannual report to the Committees on Appropriations of the House of Representatives and Senate detailing the status of the implementation of this library/learning-center initiative. 

These reports should provide a comprehensive review of Federal 

funding, matching funding, as well as those resources provided 

through other agencies or private organizations. 

FEDERAL PAYMENT FOR THE FAMILY LITERACY PROGRAM

The Committee recommends a Federal payment of $1,000,000 for 

the Family Literacy program, $988,000 below the fiscal year 2004 

appropriation and $1,000,000 above the President’s request. These 

funds are to be used to address the needs of literacy-challenged 

parents and are available contingent upon the District providing a 

100 percent match.

FEDERAL PAYMENT FOR TRANSPORTATION ASSISTANCE

The Committee recommends zero funds as a Federal payment to 

the District of Columbia Department of Transportation, $3,479,000 

below the fiscal year 2004 appropriation and the same as President’s request. 

FEDERAL PAYMENT FOR FOSTER CARE IMPROVEMENTS IN THE

DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA

The Committee recommends a Federal payment of $5,000,000 for 

Foster Care Improvements in the District of Columbia, $8,917,000 

below the fiscal year 2004 appropriation and $5,000,000 above the 

President’s request. These funds are allocated as follows $3,000,000 

for the Child and Family Services Agency, of which $2,000,000 is 

for the continuation of the early intervention program to provide 

intensive and immediate services for foster children; $1,000,000 is 

for emergency support to fund the purchase of items necessary to 

allow children to remain in the care of approved family members; 

$1,500,000 is for the Department of Mental Health to provide 

court-ordered and agency-required help for children under the supervision of the Child and Family Services Agency; and $500,000 

is for Washington Metropolitan Council of Governments for respite 

care and recruitment of foster parents. 

FEDERAL PAYMENT TO THE OFFICE OF CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER OF

THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA

The Committee recommends a Federal payment of $19,000,000 

for the Chief Financial Officer of the District of Columbia, 

$13,159,000 below the fiscal year 2004 appropriation and 

$19,000,000 above the President’s request. These funds are for education, public safety, health, economic development, and infrastructure initiatives in the District of Columbia. 

FEDERAL PAYMENT FOR EMERGENCY CROSS TRAINING

The Committee recommends zero funds as a Federal payment to 

the District of Columbia for emergency cross training, $497,000 

below the fiscal year 2004 appropriation and the same as President’s request. 

16

FEDERAL PAYMENT FOR SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT

The Committee Recommends a Federal payment for school improvement of $40,000,000, the same as the fiscal year 2004 appropriation and the President’s request. These funds are allocated as 

follows: $13,000,000 to improve public school education in the District of Columbia, $13,000,000 for expanding quality charter 

schools in the District of Columbia, and $14,000,000 to the Secretary of Education for opportunity scholarships for low-income 

children in the District of Columbia, of which $1,000,000 is for administrative expenses. 

The Committee has fully funded the school improvement program, which is a three tiered approach designed to improve the 

quality of education in the District of Columbia while promoting 

school choice. 

The Committee is committed to improving the District of Columbia School System and has provided $13,000,000 to help improve 

public school education. The expectation on the part of the Committee is that the superintendent of DCPS will allocate these funds 

to programs and projects designed to have the greatest impact on 

improving educational achievement by strengthening leadership 

and instructional excellence through principal and teacher recruitment and retention, and by increasing student achievement 

through supplemental services and public school choice. 

The Committee has provided $13,000,000 for charter schools to 

be allocated as follows: $5,000,000 for the City Build initiative, 

$3,000,000 for direct loans and credit enhancement, $3,000,000 for 

an incubator school, and $2,000,000 to Educational Advancement 

Alliance for a charter school college preparatory program. 

The Committee continues the City Build initiative to further the 

District’s ability to provide assistance to charter schools in securing 

permanent locations by combining financial assistance with the incentives to locate in neighborhoods identified for retention efforts. 

This program, launched in fiscal year 2004, reflects the vision for 

schools as neighborhood centers that would attract and retain residents. The long-term vision for this program is that, once established, the existence of additional financial assistance to charter 

schools to locate in strategic neighborhoods will be a stand-alone 

incentive for new charter schools to look to these neighborhoods 

first in the pursuit of a location. 

The Committee has provided $4,000,000 for an incubator school. 

One of the biggest challenges to new charter schools is the acquisition of an appropriate facility. The concept, known as an ‘‘incubator 

school’’ will provide a facility for new schools to temporarily locate 

while establishing themselves in the community. New charter 

schools are often the most in need of a space that does not require 

a significant investment in renovation or construction, and would 

provide a ‘‘safe harbor’’ space to allow the school to gain ground in 

both financial and student investment. 

The Committee has provided $4,000,000 to continue support for 

the successful credit enhancement/direct loan program to assist 

charter schools in acquiring funding for facilities. 

The Committee has provided $14,000,000 for opportunity scholarships for low-income students in District of Columbia. The Washington Scholarship Fund operates this program, first established in 

17

fiscal year 2004. To date, more than 2,600 children have applied for 

these new K–12 scholarships that can be used for tuition, transportation, and fees at participating District of Columbia schools. It is 

expected that the 50 participating schools will offer a total of 1,264 

slots for children in the coming school year. Based on these enrollment figures, this new education approach is already turning into 

a popular and successful program. 

FEDERAL GRANTS

The District of Columbia participates as a State, county, and city 

in the various Federal grant programs. At the time the fiscal year 

2005 budget was submitted the District estimated that it would receive a total of $1,859,763,000 in Federal grants during the coming 

fiscal year. 

The following table shows the amount of Federal grants the District expects to receive and the office or agency that expects to receive them:

1 FY2003 has been prepared on the GAAP basis and therefore reflects depreciation expense for equipment purchased and capital improve- ments made in 2003 and earlier years. The depreciation is made over the estimated useful lives of the equipment purchased or capital improvement installed. 2 FY2004 and FY2005 have been prepared on a budget basis. Under this basis, depreciation is not calculated but equipment purchases are shown as an operating budget expenditure. We estimate that, under a GAAP basis, in 2004 and 2005, the University will incur depreciation expense of approximately $5 million in each year.

Charitable Games Enterprise Fund generates revenues for the general fund and regulates charitable games in order to support programs and services for the residents of the District of Columbia.

Sports and Entertainment Commission improves the quality of life

The Committee recommends $77,176,000 from other funds for 

the Washington Convention Center Enterprise Fund for fiscal year 

2005. The mission of the Washington Convention Center Enterprise Fund is to expand the revenue base of the District by promoting and hosting large national and international conventions 

and trade shows that bring hundreds of thousands of out-of-town 

delegates, exhibitors, and businesses to Washington, D.C.; and to

NATIONAL CAPITAL REVITALIZATION CORPORATION

The Committee recommends $7,849,000 from other funds for the 

National Capital Revitalization Corporation for fiscal year 2005. 

The mission of the National Capital Revitalization Corporation is 

to spur economic development throughout the District of Columbia, 

primarily in neighborhoods of need. 

The Committee supports the National Capital Revitalization Corporation’s (NCRC) commitment to working with the existing waterfront businesses to develop an effective strategy for the implementation of the revitalization plan. The Committee also supports the 

creation of a Waterfront Task Force with representatives from the 

business and residential communities affected by the southwest 

waterfront development. 

The Capital Yacht Club is recognized as an important and historic, non-profit institution. The Committee urges NCRC to continue to maintain an open conversation with the Yacht Club to ensure that future planning contains proper facilities for the Yacht 

Club’s administrative operations that are in close proximity to their 

current facilities. 

The Committee is concerned about the potential to compromise 

security at Department of Defense (DOD) facilities in the District 

of Columbia as a result of the efforts to revitalize the waterfront 

area of the city. The Committee supports this revitalization effort, 

but does not understand the rational for excluding DOD representation on the Anacostia Waterfront Corporation (AWC). The Committee believes that embracing DOD as a full partner with a seat 

and a vote on the Board of the AWC creates synergies that will 

greatly benefit both the AWC and DOD. The Committee would expect DOD to be added as a full voting member on the Board of the 

AWC.
