BILL TOTALS

The President’s fiscal year 2010 budget request for activities 

funded in the Commerce, Justice, Science and Related Agencies Appropriations Act totals $64,637,341,000 in new obligation authority, 

of which $222,300,000 is for mandatory programs. The amounts 

recommended by the Committee in the accompanying bill total 

$64,415,041,000, $197,270,000 below the budget request and 

$6,763,530,000 above the sums available to the departments and 

agencies funded in this bill for fiscal year 2009, excluding emergency supplemental appropriations. 

COMMITTEE BUDGET REVIEW PROCESS

During its review of the fiscal year 2010 budget request and execution of appropriations for fiscal year 2009, the Subcommittee on 

Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies held a total of 

24 budget hearings. The Subcommittee received testimony from 

Members of Congress and some 68 outside witnesses. In addition, 

officials from the Administration representing the departments and 

agencies funded in this bill testified before the Subcommittee. This 

year, in particular, the Subcommittee focused a series of hearings 

on investments for all facets of the science enterprise, climate 

science and mitigation, as well as prisoner reentry programs, recidivism reduction, and criminal justice reform. 

In developing its recommendations, the Committee has drawn 

upon work and analysis of the Government Accountability Office, 

the Congressional Research Service, offices of Inspectors General, 

the National Academies and the Committee’s own surveys and investigations staff. The Committee appreciates the assistance and 

contributions of the men and women of these organizations. 

OVERVIEW

INVESTMENTS IN SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH

Regaining our economic strength is critical to our national security. In order to improve the economic condition and to ensure longterm American prosperity, investments in science and technology 

are required and will underpin future economic growth. As clearly 

stated in the Rising Above the Gathering Storm report of the National Academy of Sciences, healthy levels of investment in scientific research are the key to long-term economic growth that exceeds population growth. These investments improve the quality of 

life for all Americans and improve our national security. 

The America Competes Act (Public Law 110–69) authorized 

major increases in funding for the National Science Foundation 

(NSF), the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), 

and the Department of Energy Office of Science. This legislation 

has led to major funding increases for these programs in both Public Law 111–8, the Omnibus Appropriations Act for 2009, and Public Law 111–5, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act 

(ARRA). However, missing from this plan of increased investments 

in science and technology funding are critical elements of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), which 

equally support the science enterprise of our Nation. In testimony 


rfrederick on PROD1PC67 with HEARING

before the Subcommittee, both Dr. Ralph Cicerone and Dr. Lennard 

Fisk noted that NASA’s science activities and NOAA research are 

not markedly different or less important than other science disciplines funded by the NSF and NIST, and that there was little 

reason for their exclusion from the doubling path envisioned in the 

America Competes Act. The Subcommittee recommendation considers the robust budget requests for those activities authorized in 

the America Competes Act in this context; accordingly, the Subcommittee provides appropriate increases for NSF and NIST, while 

also providing appropriate and necessary increases for critical 

science activities of NASA and NOAA. These agencies, collectively, 

underpin our Nation’s science enterprise, and their collective research investment addresses the clear national needs. 

While the economy is the major crisis confronting our Nation 

today, climate change is a longer lasting threat to our future well 

being. Through congressional testimony and numerous research papers, the science community has made clear that anthropogenic climate change has begun. The 40 percent increase in emissions of 

greenhouse gases since 1990 is accelerating these changes, and as 

the world economy recovers, these emissions will grow further. 

While other legislation currently under consideration by the House 

addresses mitigation, the responsibility for observing, understanding, predicting, and monitoring climate change falls primarily 

to NOAA, NSF, and NASA—which are funded in this appropriations bill—and the United States Geological Service. 

For the U.S. Government, NOAA leads the U.S. efforts in climate 

study and has begun to form a National Climate Service that will 

work in federation with other U.S. federal agencies and nations. 

NOAA’s responsibility will continue to include long-term observations from space and ground-based systems but will also extend beyond NOAA’s traditional role in weather and predictions of climate. 

While NOAA’s climate products and services must guide and monitor mitigation, adaptation will be required. NOAA requires increased resources to implement the National Climate Service and 

mitigate the risks to the operational satellite observing systems in 

polar and geostationary orbits. The Subcommittee recommendation 

endorses and advances these critical efforts. 

The Subcommittee recommendation also supports the work of the 

NSF and NASA in climate change study and mitigation. NSF supports significant research in a broad range of research on climate 

change and critical continuing observations through its long-term 

ecological research sites and oceanographic cruises. While NSF 

funding has been growing over the past several years, Earth 

science funding at NASA has decreased more than one-third during 

the past eight years. NASA’s Earth science programs and activities 

seek to understand how Earth is changing and determine the consequences of those changes for life on our planet. Restoring the 

Earth science budget continues to be a priority for the Subcommittee. 

PRISONER REENTRY AND CRIMINAL JUSTICE REFORM

In 1974, American Sociologist Robert Martinson co-authored a report concluding that rehabilitative efforts had little impact on reducing recidivism, and that report formed the basis of a school of 

thought referred to as ‘‘nothing works.’’ The ‘‘nothing works’’ conVerDate Nov 24 2008 06:11 Jun 13, 2009 Jkt 050267 PO 00000 Frm 00003 Fmt 6659 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\HR149.XXX HR149

cept has informed much of this country’s approach to criminal justice over the following decades, as the Federal and State governments came to rely on lengthy incarceration and truth-in-sentencing at the expense of rehabilitation. The result has been an increasing number of Americans under some form of criminal justice 

supervision. 

According to the Pew Center on the States, the number of people 

imprisoned in the United States grew by approximately three percent per year between 1995 and 2005, compared to an overall population growth rate of one percent. In March 2009, the Pew Center 

on the States released a report stating that the incarcerated population in the United States in 2008 reached 2.3 million, meaning 

that one in 100 adults was in prison or jail. In addition, according 

to that report, one in 31 Americans (7.3 million) in 2008 was under 

some form of correctional supervision—either in jail, on probation, 

or under some form of supervised release—compared to one in 77 

in the early 1980s. The tables have turned, and it is now clear that 

a primarily punitive approach to criminal justice does not work. 

Moreover, the Federal and State governments can no longer afford 

a criminal justice approach that is not based on clear evidence 

about what does work. 

More recent research, referred to as ‘‘what works,’’ has largely 

debunked the conclusion that rehabilitation programs are ineffective. The determinative factor in whether rehabilitation is successful is whether it is evidence-based, fully implemented, and whether 

it coordinates a full complement of rehabilitative services designed 

to meet the needs of individual offenders, including drug abuse 

treatment, vocational training, and educational services. Drug 

abuse treatment is particularly important because reducing the 

cravings associated with addiction is a prerequisite for allowing an 

offender to make productive use of other rehabilitation services and 

other opportunities for becoming productive members of society. 

The Subcommittee conducted seven hearings focused on the challenges facing offenders as they reenter communities, programs that 

facilitate reentry and reduce recidivism, and the state of research 

on ‘‘what works’’ for offender reentry. An eighth hearing focused on 

efforts by many states to reform fundamentally their criminal justice systems in a way that responsibly reduces prison populations 

while reinvesting a portion of the associated savings on services to 

prevent crime and reduce recidivism. 

Witness testimony from researchers, practitioners, and corrections officials formed a consensus that insufficient resources and 

attention are currently invested, at both the Federal and State levels, in evidence-based strategies for employing alternatives to incarceration; helping offenders transition back to society following 

incarceration; and reducing recidivism. As a result, State and Federal prison populations continue to grow at an unsustainable rate, 

with many of the same offenders being repeatedly recycled through 

the country’s prisons at great expense to the taxpayer. Resources 

provided in this bill are intended to spur and support evidencebased strategies and programs, at both the Federal and State levels, to reduce recidivism and improve the criminal justice system.

MAJOR THEMES AND INITIATIVES

The bill recommends funding for a diverse set of essential government activities that address the present needs of our country 

and economy while preparing for and investing in our future as a 

Nation. 

Addressing law enforcement priorities.—In total, the bill provides 

in excess of $26,861,981,000 for law enforcement activities, an increase of $1,595,043,000 over the 2009 enacted level. Investments 

recommended by the Committee provide for: 

• more than $585,000,000 to enhance and expand national 

security programs at the Federal Bureau of Investigation, 

Drug Enforcement Administration, Bureau of Prisons and others; 

• $62,600,000 in new funding to address white collar crime, 

including corporate fraud and tax evasion, and return resources to the Federal fisc; 

• $23,700,000 in new funds to reinvigorate and expand civil 

rights enforcement against racial, ethnic, sexual preference, religious and gender discrimination; 

• $3,423,988,000 for grants to state and local law enforcement agencies, including $298,000,000 to put new police officers on the beat and $100,000,000 for ex-offender reentry initiatives; 

• $70,600,000 for new correctional officer staffing at Federal 

prisons to improve the safety and security of inmates and 

guards; and 

• $345,900,000 in new Department-wide activities to safeguard the southwest border, address Mexican cartel violence 

and support activities of the Department of Homeland Security. 

Science and technology.—The Committee recommendation includes $30,571,851,000 to support investments in science and technology, including science, technology, engineering and mathematics 

(STEM) education, an increase of $1,049,255,000 over last year. 

The Committee bill provides: 

• $6,936,510,000 for the National Science Foundation, an increase of 6.9 percent over the fiscal year 2009 enacted level, 

which maintains NSF on a doubling path. Within this level, 

$862,900,000 is recommended for education programs of NSF, 

such as Noyce Scholarships, the math and science partnership 

program, and support for hands-on, inquiry-based instruction; • $18,203,300,000 for NASA, an increase of $421,915,000 

over the fiscal year 2009 enacted level. Investments in NASA 

contribute to economic vitality, science and technology, national security and an improved quality of life. Within the 

funds recommended for NASA, over $500,000,000 is provided 

for critical investments in aeronautics research and development to maintain U.S. leadership in aeronautics, to plan for 

and implement the Next Generation Air Transportation System and to invest in ‘‘green’’ aircraft technologies. Further, 

over $175,000,000 is recommended for education programs, an 

increase of nearly $50,000,000 over the request; 

• more than $4,600,000,000 for activities of the National 

Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, an increase of 


rfrederick on PROD1PC67 with HEARING
6 

$237,745,000 over the fiscal year 2009 enacted level and 

$129,125,000 over the budget request. Within the funds recommended for NOAA, nearly $400,000,000 is provided for climate change research; regional climate assessments; enhanced 

modeling capabilities; ocean observations and coral reef conservation; climate data records, and data access and archiving; 

and a more robust education program focused on climate, including the transition of the GLOBE program from NASA to 

NOAA. Full funding is also provided for acquisition, construction and operations of the GOES–R, NPOESS and NPP satellites, and Jason 3, which will provide sea surface elevation 

and ocean circulation measurements. Within the recommendation, the requested increase of $56,500,000 for Magnuson-Stevens Reauthorization Act activities to end overfishing by 2012 

is fully funded. Funding is provided above the request in areas 

of critical need such as protected species recovery, habitat restoration and coastal and estuarine land conservation. • over $781,000,000 for the National Institute of Standards 

and Technology, which includes an 8 percent increase for 

science research and technical services over the fiscal year 

2009 enacted level. Within the recommendation, $124,700,000 

is provided for the Manufacturing Extension Partnerships program and $69,900,000 for the Technology Innovation Program, 

the same as the request, which leverage private funds to invest 

in research and development and improve manufacturing productivity and job creation. • increases above the budget request to strengthen NSF, 

NOAA and NASA education programs. The Committee recognizes that sustained enhancement of the scientific and technical capability of the American workforce requires more than 

increased support for research and graduate education. Investments must be made in effective STEM education for students 

in grades K–12 in both formal and informal settings. 

Global climate change and sustainability.—The Committee has 

provided over $2,000,000,000 in resources to address the reality of 

global warming climate change and its effect on Earth’s environments, over $120,000,000 over the fiscal year 2009 enacted level. 

Specifically, the bill provides: 

• nearly $1,300,000,000 in climate change programs at 

NASA, including nearly $150,000,000 to develop and demonstrate space-based climate measurements identified by the 

National Academy of Sciences and the science community; 

• nearly $400,000,000 for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, of which more than $200,000,000 is to 

enhance climate change research and regional assessments; 

$90,000,000 enhances climate data records and data access and 

archiving requirements; and $29,300,000 is for climate change 

educational programs; 

• nearly $310,000,000 for climate change programs at the 

National Science Foundation; 

• over $52,000,000 for educational programs directed at climate change as recommended by the National Academy of 

Sciences;

TERMINATIONS, REDUCTIONS AND OTHER SAVINGS

In order to invest in the critical priorities identified in this bill, 

and in an effort to build an economy on a solid foundation for 

growth and put the Nation on a path toward prosperity, the Committee has proposed herein a number of program terminations, reductions and other savings from the fiscal year 2009 level totaling 

over $1.3 billion. In addition, over $1 billion in other program terminations, reductions and other savings from the budget request 

are recommended. These adjustments, no matter their size, are important to setting the right priorities within the spending allocation, for getting the deficit under control, and creating a government that is as efficient as it is effective. 

REPROGRAMMING AND SPENDING PLAN PROCEDURES

The reprogramming process is based on comity between the Congress and the Executive branch. This process is intended to provide 

departments and agencies sufficient flexibility to meet changing 

circumstances and emergent requirements not known at the time 

of Congressional review of the budget, while preserving Congressional priorities and intent. In the absence of comity and respect 

for the prerogatives of Congress, the Committee may choose to restrict further or eliminate reprogramming authority. Under such 

circumstances, programs, projects and activities become more 

strictly defined and the executive branch loses its ability to propose 

changes in the use of appropriated funds. 

The Committee expects that each department and agency funded 

in this Act shall follow the directions set forth in this Act and the 

accompanying report, and shall not reallocate resources or reorganize activities except as provided herein. Reprogramming procedures shall apply to funds provided in this Act, unobligated balances from previous appropriations Acts that are available for obligation or expenditure in fiscal year 2010, and non-appropriated resources such as fee collections that are used to meet program requirements in fiscal year 2010. In reiterating the Committee’s reprogramming procedures here, which are codified as section 505 of 

this Act, the Committee expects that the Appropriations SubVerDate Nov 24 2008 06:11 Jun 13, 2009 Jkt 050267 PO 00000 Frm 00008 Fmt 6659 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\HR149.XXX HR149

committees on the Departments of Commerce, Justice, Science and 

Related Agencies of the House and Senate will be notified by letter 

a minimum of 15 days prior to— 

(1) reprogramming of funds, whether permanent or temporary, in excess of $500,000 or 10 percent, whichever is less, 

between programs or activities. This provision is also applicable in cases where several activities are involved with each receiving less than $500,000. In addition, the Committee is to be 

notified of reprogramming actions which are less than these 

amounts if such actions would have the effect of committing 

the agency to significant funding requirements in future years; 

(2) increasing funds or personnel by any means for any 

project or activity for which funds have been denied or restricted; 

(3) relocating offices or employees; 

(4) reorganizing offices, programs, or activities; 

(5) contracting out or privatizing any functions or activities 

presently performed by Federal employees; or 

(6) proposing to use funds directed for a specific activity by 

either the House or the Senate for a different purpose. 

Furthermore, the reprogramming authorities do not allow the obligation of funds to create or initiate any new program, project or 

activity. 

Any reprogramming request shall include any out-year budgetary 

impacts and a separate accounting of program or mission impacts 

on estimated carryover funds. No changes shall be made to any 

program, project or activity, except as provided by the Committee, 

if it is to be construed to be a change in policy. Any program, 

project or activity cited in the reports of the House or Senate accompanying this Act or the conference agreement shall be construed as the position of the Committee and shall not be subject 

to reductions or reprogramming without prior approval of the Committee. The Committee further expects any department or agency 

funded in this Act which plans a reduction-in-force to notify by letter the Appropriations Committees of the House and Senate 30 

days in advance of the date of any such planned personnel action. 

The Committee notes that when a department or agency submits 

a reprogramming or transfer request to the Appropriations Committees of the House and Senate and does not receive identical responses from the House and Senate, it shall be the responsibility 

of the department or agency seeking the reprogramming to reconcile the differences between the two bodies before proceeding. If 

reconciliation is not possible, the items in disagreement in the reprogramming or transfer request shall be considered unapproved. 

Lastly, the Committee directs the Departments of Commerce and 

Justice, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and 

the National Science Foundation to submit spending plans, signed 

by the respective department or agency head, for the Committee’s 

review within 120 days of enactment of this Act.

Fiscal Year 2009 enacted ............................................................ +14,634,000 

Fiscal Year 2010 request ............................................................ ¥5,200,000 1 Includes $9,439,000 in offsetting fee collections. 

The mission of the International Trade Administration is to create economic opportunity for U.S. workers and firms by promoting 

international trade, opening foreign markets, ensuring compliance 

with trade laws and agreements, and supporting U.S. commercial 

interests at home and abroad. 

The Committee recommendation includes $444,504,000 in total 

resources for the programs of the International Trade Administration (ITA) for fiscal year 2010, which is $14,634,000 above the fiscal year 2009 level and provides for the agency’s highest priorities. 

The Committee understands the difficulties of attempting to balance the positive and negative effects of a free trade agenda. The 

Committee is determined to ensure that the United States Government upholds its responsibility to enforce trade laws, particularly 

with China. If trading partners do not abide by the rules that are 

set in the global trading system, United States firms are unable to 

compete on a level playing field. The United States Government 

has an obligation to ensure that U.S. companies are not forced to 

compete with foreign companies that are engaged in unfair trading 

practices. 

The Committee continues to direct ITA to submit to the Committee, not later than 60 days after the enactment of this Act, a 

spending plan for all ITA units that incorporates any carryover balances from prior fiscal years and expects this plan to be updated 

to reflect the obligation of funds on a quarterly basis. 

Import Administration.—This program investigates antidumping 

and countervailing duty cases to ensure compliance with applicable 

U.S. statutes and administers certain other statutory programs relating to imports and foreign trade zones. The Committee urges the 

ITA to implement proactive trade enforcement activities, including 

textile safeguard actions with respect to China’s World Trade Organization Accession Agreement, bilateral quotas on non-WTO members, and textile provision of the United States preferential programs and agreements. 

China Anti-Dumping and Countervailing Duty Activities.—The 

Committee recommendation designates funding of no less than 

$7,000,000 for the Office of China Compliance, and no less than 

$4,400,000 for the China Countervailing Duty Group within Import 

Administration. The Office of China Compliance is dedicated to the 

enforcement of anti-dumping law with respect to China and other 

non-market economy countries. The Committee expects to be notified of any impediments to hiring or retaining the required staff expertise to conduct this work. The China Countervailing Duty Group 

was established in fiscal year 2009 to accommodate the workload 

that has resulted from the application of countervailing duty law 


rfrederick on PROD1PC67 with HEARING
11 

to imports from non-market economy countries. The Committee 

also encourages ITA to allocate additional resources above the request to the activities of both these offices. 

Market Access and Compliance (MAC).—The Committee continues to support the efforts of the ITA to enforce trade agreements 

aggressively. MAC develops strategies to overcome market access 

obstacles faced by U.S. businesses by monitoring foreign country 

compliance with multilateral and bilateral trade-related agreements and identifying compliance and other market access obstacles. 

Manufacturing and Services.—This program focuses on both the 

domestic and international aspects of U.S. industrial competitiveness by working with U.S. industries to evaluate the needs of the 

U.S. manufacturing and service sectors; conducting economic and 

regulatory analysis to strengthen U.S. industry; obtaining input 

and advice from U.S. industries for trade policy setting; and participating, as appropriate, with ITA trade policy and negotiation 

advancement initiatives. 

Executive Direction and Administration.—These programs provide policy leadership, information technology (IT) support and administration services for all of ITA. Executive Direction includes 

the Office of the Under Secretary for International Trade and subordinate offices covering Legislative and Intergovernmental Affairs, 

Public Affairs, and the Office of the Chief Information Officer. 

Trade promotion and the U.S. & Foreign Commercial Service.— The Commercial Service conducts trade promotion programs intended to broaden and deepen the base of U.S. exports, particularly 

of small and medium-sized firms; provides American companies 

with reliable advice on the range of public and private assistance 

available and knowledgeable support for all other Federal trade

referral and follow-up services through its integrated global field 

network; ensures adequate support for compliance and leads interagency advocacy efforts for major overseas projects, including early 

involvement in project development and assistance to resolve postexport transaction problems. 

Travel expenditures.—The Committee expects the Department to 

submit quarterly reports to the Committee regarding ITA’s travel 

expenditures, including separate breakouts of funding, number of 

trips and the purposes of travel to both China and India. 

Human rights training.—An understanding and appreciation of 

human rights issues and impacts is essential to the pursuit of 

international trade and commercial opportunities. The Committee 

continues to support ITA’s efforts to ensure that American commercial officers and locally-engaged staff receive training on human 

rights. The Committee expects ITA to devote no less than $500,000 

for such training to ensure that, when counseling U.S. businesses 

on market conditions with a particular country, employees include 

information on human rights, rule of law, and corporate responsibility. In addition, ITA shall report to the Committee sixty days 

after the enactment of this Act with an annual human rights training plan.

tem modernization initiative and $1,800,000 for the WMD and IED 

nonproliferation initiative. 

Management and Policy Coordination (MPC).—The Management 

and Policy Coordination program supports all Bureau performance 

goals. MPC develops, analyzes, and coordinates policy initiatives 

within BIS and on an interagency basis. 

Export Administration (EA).—The Export Administration carries 

out BIS programs related to export control regulations, export licenses, treaty compliance, treaty obligations relating to weapons of 

mass destruction, and the defense industrial and technology base 

to meet national security needs. EA regulates the export of dualuse items determined to require export licenses for reasons of national security, nonproliferation, foreign policy, or short supply; ensures that approval or denial of license applications is consistent 

with U.S. economic and security concerns; promotes an understanding of export control regulations within the business community; represents the Department in interagency and international 

fora relating to export controls, particularly multilateral regimes; 

monitors and seeks to ensure the availability of industrial resources for national defense under the authority of the Delegation 

of Procurement Authority; analyzes the impact of export controls 

on strategic industries; and assesses the security consequences for 

the United States of certain foreign investments. 

Export Enforcement (EE).—The Export Enforcement program detects and prevents the illegal export of controlled goods and technology. EE investigates and helps sanction violators of U.S. export 

control, anti-terrorist and public safety laws and regulations; educates the business community to help prevent violations; and administers the Export Administration Act (EAA) (which expired on 

August 19, 2001, but the provisions of which remain in force under 

the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), Executive Order 13222, as extended most recently by the Notice of August 3, 2006 (71 Fed. Reg. 44551 (August 7, 2006)) provisions restricting participation in foreign boycotts.

1 Up to $4 million may be transferred to S&E for grants administration and management. 

Economic Development Assistance Programs promote regional 

economic development efforts that benefit distressed communities, 

especially distressed rural communities. The Committee recommendation includes $255,000,000 for the Economic Development 

Assistance programs, $15,000,000 above the fiscal year 2009 level. 

Public Works.—The Committee provides $158,280,000 for Public Works, $110,480,000 above the request and $25,000,000 above fiscal year 2009. The Committee believes that, given the current economic climate, these funds are critical to local communities and industries faced with increased economic pressures and dislocations 

in the rapidly changing global economy. 

Global Climate Change Mitigation Fund.—The Committee notes 

the increased construction costs associated with the incorporation 

of technologies and strategies that reduce energy consumption and 

harmful gas emissions and contribute to sustainability. Within the 

funds provided for Public Works, the Committee recommends no 

less than $25,000,000 for the Global Climate Change Mitigation Incentive Fund, $8,500,000 above the request and $10,300,000 above 

fiscal year 2009. The Committee emphasizes that to be successful 

in today’s environment, economic development must address the effects of climate change, and directs EDA to expand the program beyond Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification. This can include renewable energy; energy efficiency; 

reuse, restoration and recycling; green buildings; the development 

of green products; the greening of an existing function, process or 

activity; and the creation or renovation of a green building. The 

Committee directs EDA to provide a report within 60 days of enactment of this Act, detailing the scope of the fund, the criteria for approval of fund expenditures, and the methodology EDA will employ 

when reviewing grants. 

Planning.—The Committee provides $31,000,000, the same as 

the request, and directs the agency to continue to allocate funding 

to the existing network of Economic Development Districts (EDDs), 

consistent with last year’s direction. The continued support provides EDDs with the flexibility needed to engage local government, 

business, and community leadership in setting and pursuing strategic job creation and retention initiatives effectively. 

Technical Assistance.—The Committee provides an increase of 

$400,000 over fiscal year 2009, and directs EDA to compete two additional University Centers each year, with the goal of ensuring 

that each State has at least one Center. This will ensure that economically distressed communities are not further burdened by the 

lack of representation and the need to share and stretch resources. 

Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA).—While the Committee supports this program and the recently enacted authorization, EDA

ments can be recommended by the Committee. In 2007, the Congressional Research Service reported that 61 percent of program 

funds were spent on administration and TAA center (TAAC) operations, not on the projects for which firms applied for assistance. 

The report states that EDA is unable to monitor and evaluate the 

performance of either firms assisted or the TAACs, resulting in 

limited evidence to determine program successes. The Committee 

therefore directs EDA to institute such an evaluative process and 

provide quarterly reports on the number of firms assisted, how that 

assistance is quantified, and the value each TAAC adds to the process. 

Economic adjustment assistance.—Within funding provided, the 

Committee supports the efficiency gains of regional innovation clusters for applicants and the agency. The Committee directs EDA to 

provide quarterly reports on progress and funding awards, and expects proven performance to continue the initiative. Funds are not 

included for the proposed business incubator initiative as these activities are duplicative of programs administered by the Small 

Business Administration.

request and $1,175,000 above fiscal year 2009. Within the appropriation, the Committee provides not less than $200,000 for the Office of Native American Business Development. The Committee expects the office to utilize the assistance of the Native American 

Business Enterprise Centers to help fulfill its obligations to expand 

business development, trade promotion and tourism opportunities 

for Indian tribes and other Native American entities. Within the

Fiscal Year 2010 request ............................................................ ¥7,745,000 

The mission of the Economics and Statistics Administration 

(ESA) is to provide leadership and critical oversight of the Census 

Bureau and Bureau of Economic Analysis. The mission of the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) is to promote the understanding 

of the U.S. economy by providing timely, relevant, and accurate 

economic accounts data. These statistics are key ingredients in decisions affecting interest and exchange rates, tax and budget projections, business investment plans, and the allocation of federal 

funds, including programs such as Medicaid and Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) among others. BEA prepares national, regional, industry and international accounts that present 

essential information on such issues as economic growth, regional 

economic development, inter-industry relationships and the Nation’s position in the world economy. 

The Committee recommendation provides $97,255,000 for the 

ESA, which is $6,634,000 above fiscal year 2009. This level provides funding for two new initiatives, including $1,500,000 to develop new estimation models for financial services statistics in 

order to more accurately reflect the critical changes that are occurring in the financial sector of the U.S. economy; and $2,000,000 to 

improve, accelerate, and expand county-level economic statistics.

Fiscal Year 2009 enacted ............................................................ +4,234,881,000 

Fiscal Year 2010 request ............................................................ ............................

The mission of the Bureau of the Census (Census) is to serve as 

the leading source of quality data about the Nation’s people and 

economy. To accomplish this mission, Census measures those 

trends and segments of our population and economy most critical 

to continued American success and prosperity. The Committee recommendation includes a total operating level of $7,374,731,000 for 

the Bureau of the Census, which is $4,234,881,000 above fiscal 

year 2009, excluding the $1,000,000,000 provided in the fiscal year 

2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.

Bill compared with: 

Fiscal Year 2009 enacted ............................................................ +25,436,000 

Fiscal Year 2010 request ............................................................ ............................

This appropriation provides for the collection, compilation, and 

publication of a broad range of current economic, demographic, and 

social statistics, to include current economic, general economic, foreign trade, and current demographic statistics, and survey development and data services. The Committee recommendation includes 

$259,024,000 for the salaries and expenses of the Bureau of the 

Census for fiscal year 2010, which is the same as the request and 

$25,436,000 above fiscal year 2009. 

Current economic statistics.—The business statistics program 

provides current information on sales and related measures of retail and wholesale trade and selected service industries. Construction statistics are provided on significant construction activity, 

while manufacturing statistics survey key industrial commodities 

and manufacturing activities, providing current statistics on the 

quantity and value of industrial output. Within this subactivity, an 

increase of $11,661,000 allows for the expansion of an existing pilot 

program into Longitudinal Employer Dynamics (LED), to provide 

comprehensive and timely national, state, and local information on 

worker job flows and businesses. 

Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP).—The Committee provides $50,279,000, the same as the request and an increase of $4,579,000 over fiscal year 2009. Funds provided will ensure a full sample size and allow for improvements to the SIPP 

system by fiscal year 2012, including updating computer programming; improving survey content; investigating, testing, and as appropriate, implementing an Event History Calendar; and security 

enhancements to laptops used in the field.

Bill compared with: 

Fiscal Year 2009 enacted ............................................................ +4,209,445,000 

Fiscal Year 2010 request ............................................................ ............................

The Committee recommendation includes a total of 

$7,115,707,000 for all periodic censuses and related programs in 

fiscal year 2010, which is $4,209,445,000 above fiscal year 2009 

and the same as the request. 

2010 Decennial Census Program.—The subactivity consists of 

three highly integrated components: the American Community Survey (ACS), which collects detailed characteristics, which used to be 

collected on the decennial long form, every year throughout the 

decade; the Master Address File/Topographically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (MAF/TIGER) Enhancement 

Program (MTEP), which realigns the TIGER map to take advantage of global positioning system capabilities, modernizes the processing system, and expands geographic partnerships; and the 2010 

Census. Fiscal year 2010 is dedicated to final preparations and 

completing the 2010 Census enumeration. 

Field Data Collection Automation (FDCA) Contract Replan.—The 

replan of the FDCA contract resulted in a significant overall increase in the life cycle cost of the Decennial Census, now estimated 

at $14.7 billion. The Committee directs the Census Bureau to provide monthly status reports and obligation rates on this contract 

and other large contracts related to the 2010 Decennial, and include the status of known risks to the success of the Decennial. 

Communications.—A recent Joint Advisory Advertising Review 

Panel (JAARP) characterized the decennial ad campaign as ‘‘obsolete.’’ Among its findings, the panel noted the ad campaign lacked 

integration and coordination; failed to emphasize the security of 

the data provided in response to the decennial questionnaire; did 

not identify the consequences of failing to fill out the survey; and 

lacked diversity among focus groups providing feedback on the 

campaign materials. Census is, therefore, directed to work closely 

with the communications provider to ensure that the decennial’s 

outreach activities are targeted to ensure high rates of survey responses in all communities, particularly within hard-to-reach communities. 

Paid media.—The Committee directs the Census Bureau to allocate sufficient funding to support robust paid media efforts in preparation for the 2010 Decennial Census, with specific focus on hardto-reach populations, and to ensure that these efforts surpass the 

effectiveness of such efforts in 2000. The Committee takes note of 

testimony by the Census Bureau that increasing the mail-back response rate through promotional efforts such as paid media—in 

combination with partnership efforts—results in substantial savings in the non-response follow-up enumeration. 

Partnership.—The Committee urges the Census Bureau to ensure it hires a diverse pool of employees, particularly for partnership specialist and enumerator positions for the 2010 Decennial. 

These indigenous workers bring language skills and neighborhood 

and cultural knowledge to bear on the task, and are thus more 


rfrederick on PROD1PC67 with HEARING
19 

likely to be accepted by communities during outreach and non-response follow-up, resulting in a more accurate count. The Census 

Bureau is also encouraged to strive to maintain a more diverse, 

full-time workforce, including at the senior management level. 

Other languages.—The Committee is concerned that the Census 

Bureau has not adequately planned for assistance in languages 

other than Spanish for the 2010 Census and the ACS, which may 

result in an inaccurate count of limited English proficient and immigrant communities. The Census Bureau should provide the Committee with updates on a semi-annual basis on its language assistance program, including information on how it will reach and assist 

respondents who speak Asian, American Indian and Alaska Native 

languages, Spanish, and other languages spoken by ethnic immigrants in the United States for the ACS and the 2010 Census. 

Data on small population groups.—The Committee is concerned 

about the availability of data on small population groups, especially 

Asian, Hispanic, Pacific Islander, and other national origins subgroups, from the American Community Survey and Decennial census. In many ethnic and immigrant communities, gathering accurate information about smaller subgroups is extremely important 

for policymakers, as the needs among the various populations vary 

significantly. The Committee urges the Census Bureau to ensure 

that reliable information about these subgroups, especially numerically smaller groups, is collected and published, and directs the Bureau to report back within 90 days of enactment of this Act describing the steps it will take to ensure the availability and accuracy 

of these data. 

Offshore U.S. jurisdictions.—The Committee urges the Census 

Bureau to consider new options for reporting aggregate data reflecting all citizens of the United States, including Puerto Rico and 

other offshore jurisdictions. 

Additional outreach.—The Committee directs the Bureau to ensure full funding of Census in Schools and adult education materials. The Committee notes that Census in Schools provides significant outreach to hard-to-reach populations through the medium of 

take-home materials that educate school children and their parents 

and extended families. Similar results are obtained by providing 

adult education materials that also reach neighbors and friends in 

these communities. 

Non-decennial programs.—The Committee recommendation includes $214,581,000 for non-decennial periodic census programs, 

the same as the request, and $8,119,000 below fiscal year 2009. 

Funds are distributed as follows:

Economic Census.—Conducted every five years, the economic census is integral to the Bureau of Economic Analysis’ estimates of the 

Gross Domestic Product (GDP), and is the foundation of the Nation’s economic statistics programs. Fiscal year 2010 is the sixth 

year of the six-year 2007 Economic Census cycle, and the first year 

of the 2012 Economic Census cycle, and funding reflects a planned 

reduction of $5,200,000. 

Census of Governments.—The Census of Governments is also integral to the BEA’s estimates of GDP. It is the only source of comprehensive and uniformly classified data on the economic activities 

of more than 90,000 State and local governments, which account 

for about 12 percent of GDP and nearly 16 percent of the U.S. 

workforce. Fiscal year 2010 is the first year in the five-year cycle 

of the 2012 Census of Governments and funding provided reflects 

a planned decrease of $702,000.

21 

Deficit Reduction Act of 2005, as amended, received offsetting receipts from the auction of electromagnetic spectrum recovered from 

discontinued analog television signals and provides funding for several one-time programs from these receipts. The amended Act also 

provided borrowing authority to the Department of Commerce to 

commence specified programs prior to the availability of auction receipts. Amounts borrowed from the Treasury have been repaid 

using earned revenues from the auction. At the end of fiscal year 

2009, NTIA will deposit in the General Fund $7,363,000,000 of the 

earned revenues (receipts) for deficit reduction purposes, as required by law. Additional deposits of revenues to the General Fund, 

estimated to be $8,688,000,000, will be initiated as program activities are completed. During fiscal year 2010, the following programs 

are authorized to use receipts from the fund:

to eliminate the PTFPC program in fiscal year 2010, citing funding 

available through the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB). 

However, it is not clear that CPB and PTFPC are authorized to 

fund the same types of projects. PTFPC has been the primary 

source for telecommunications infrastructure assistance for public 

radio and television stations seeking assistance, particularly in 

under-served rural areas. The Committee therefore directs that 

NTIA work with CPB to provide a report to the Appropriations 

Committees of the House and Senate within 30 days of enactment 

of this Act, that clarifies the funding authority of the two agencies. 

This report will ensure that any proposed changes in account structures that may be sought in subsequent budget requests will result 

in efficiencies, not the elimination of a critical program.

CURRENT YEAR FEE FUNDING

Fiscal Year 2009 enacted ................................................................... $2,010,100,000 

Fiscal Year 2010 request ................................................................... 1,930,361,000 

Recommended in the bill ................................................................... 1,930,361,000 

Bill compared with: 

Fiscal Year 2009 enacted ............................................................ ¥79,739,000 

Fiscal Year 2010 request ............................................................ ............................

The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) is 

charged with administering the patent and trademark laws of the 

United States. USPTO examines patent applications, grants patent 

protection for qualified inventions, and disseminates technological 

information disclosed in patents. The USPTO also examines trademark applications and provides federal registration to owners of 

qualified trademarks. The USPTO advises the Office of the United 

States Trade Representative on enforcement issues in connection 

with free trade agreements and participates in consultations with 

numerous foreign governments on a broad range of issues related 

to the enforcement of intellectual property rights. The Committee 

recommendation includes $1,930,361,000 for the PTO for fiscal year 

2010, which is the same as the request. 

Provision of fee collection projections.—The Committee directs the 

UPSTO to provide quarterly reports on its projected fee collection 

projections and to notify the Committee during any month when 

significant changes in such projections prompt serious concern or 

require drastic budgetary responses. 

Backlog of patent applications.—Despite the projected decline in 

patent applications, the backlog of unexamined patent applications 

at the USPTO remains extraordinarily high. The increasing backload is largely a consequence of a globalized economy in which applicants are filing in more than one jurisdiction. This means that 

the USPTO and other national patent offices are duplicating one 

another’s work. The USPTO has recognized the relationship between rising workload and duplication of national examinations. 

However, the USPTO’s efforts have proceeded very slowly and have 

not yet resulted in significant relief for the USPTO. 

The Government Accountability Office has found that the hiring 

of additional patent examiners has not been sufficient to reverse 

this trend and the recent and projected decrease in fee collections— 

12.4 percent lower than the forecast for the fiscal year 2009 budget—makes it clear that the USPTO will not be able to rely on additional hiring as a method to reduce pendency. While a projected decline in patent applications may help to reduce the backlog, the 

most effective, long-term means of reducing the pendency of patent 

applications is for the leading patent offices to make more effective 

use of one another’s work. The Committee directs the USPTO to 

enhance its efforts to reduce duplication of work already performed 

by another patent office in a manner that does not compromise the 

quality of the examination or compromise the sovereignty of the 

United States, such as the Patent Prosecution Highway, the Trilateral Strategic Working Group, and technical cooperative agreements with intellectual property offices in other countries. The 

Committee directs USPTO to provide a report to the Committee on 

its progress within 30 days of enactment of this Act.

Fiscal Year 2010 request ............................................................ ¥24,600,000 

To carry out its mission, NIST has an intramural research program made up of laboratories and technical programs and national 

research facilities. The laboratories and technical programs develop 

and disseminate measurement techniques, reference data and materials, test methods, standards, and other infrastructural technologies and services required by U.S. industry. National research 

facilities include the NIST Center for Neutron Research and the 

Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology. NIST also manages 

the Baldridge National Quality Program, which promotes U.S. competitiveness in business, health care, education, and non-profit organizations through performance excellence criteria and other information transfer, and management of the Malcolm Baldridge National Quality Award. 

The Committee recommendation includes $510,000,000 for 

NIST’s scientific and technical core programs, which is $38,000,000 

above fiscal year 2009, an increase of 8 percent. Within available 

resources, the Committee supports the full funding of the comprehensive national cyber security increase. 

The Committee approves NIST’s new budget structure consolidating all the functions of its laboratory research program under 

one budget activity but the Committee will regard any deviation 

from amounts specified in spend plans or reports for particular labs 

and technical programs, or the use of deobligated funds, to be subject to reprogramming procedures.

vation Program (TIP). In the current economic climate, these programs are critically important to ensure the competitiveness of 

U.S. businesses. 

MEP consists of a network of centers that provide business support and technical assistance services, and helps improve the productivity and competitiveness of small manufacturers. The centers 

are funded from matching Federal and State or local resources and 

fees charged for services. MEP leverages private resources in the 

creation and retention of jobs, thereby increasing economic output 

as well as Federal revenues. 

TIP was established in section 3012 of the Competes Act and 

speeds the development of high-risk, transformative research targeted to address key societal challenges. Funding is provided to 

small and medium-sized businesses, and institutions of higher education or other organizations, such as national laboratories and 

nonprofit research institutions to support, promote, and accelerate 

innovation in the U.S.

Bill compared with: 

Fiscal Year 2009 enacted ............................................................ ¥95,500,000 

Fiscal Year 2010 request ............................................................ ¥40,400,000 

This appropriation supports the construction of new facilities and 

the renovation and maintenance of NIST’s current buildings and 

laboratories to comply with scientific and engineering requirements 

and to keep pace with Federal, State, and local health and safety 

regulations. The Committee recommendation includes $76,500,000, 

of which $8,000,000 shall be available for the final year of the Neutron Center Expansion and Reliability Improvements, and 

$20,000,000 shall be available for a competitive grant competition. 

The Committee does not provide funding to begin two new multiyear construction projects, given budget constraints. 

Competitive construction grants.—Within the appropriation, the 

Committee provides $20,000,000 for competitive construction 

grants for research science buildings in fiscal year 2010. The Committee notes that in just the first year of the program, the fiscal 

year 2008 call for proposals yielded 93 requests, of which only 

three were funded within available appropriations. The Committee 

expects the Administration to include funding for this program in 

future requests as these research science buildings leverage additional public and private funding, provide jobs, and improve science 

research in the Nation. 

NATIONAL OCEANIC AND ATMOSPHERIC ADMINISTRATION

The mission of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is to understand and predict changes in Earth’s environment and conserve and manage coastal and marine resources 

to meet our Nation’s economic, social and environmental needs. 

NOAA supplies information on the oceans and atmosphere, provides stewardship of our coastal and marine environment, and 

leads scientific research in such fields as ecosystems, climate, global climate change, weather and oceanography.

2The budget request proposes to transfer $50,000,000 from species recovery grants within the National 

Marine Fisheries Service to fund activities within the Pacific Coast Salmon Recovery Fund. 

The Committee recommendation includes a total program level of $3,317,393,000 under this account for the coastal, fisheries, marine, 

weather, satellite and other programs of the National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration. This total funding level includes 

$3,198,793,000 in direct appropriations; a transfer of $104,600,000 

from balances in the ‘‘Promote and Develop Fishery Products and 

Research Pertaining to American Fisheries’’ account; a transfer of 

$3,000,000 from the Coastal Zone Management Fund; and 

$11,000,000 is derived from recoveries of prior year obligations. 

The direct appropriation of $3,198,793,000 is $111,256,000 above 

the request and $153,244,000 above the fiscal year 2009 level, and 

includes $37,500,000 for congressionally directed activities. 

The following narrative descriptions and tables identify the specific activities and funding levels included in this Act: 

National Ocean Service (NOS).—The recommendation provides $481,981,000 for NOS operations, research and facilities, which is 

$19,310,000 above the request. 

Navigation Services.—The Committee provides $48,081,000 for mapping and charting of which, $750,000 is provided for the development and demonstration of unmanned surface vehicles for hydrographic survey operations, and $30,000,000 to address survey backlogs. 

Ocean Assessment Program.—The recommendation provides $20,000,000 for the Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS) regional observations, which is $5,000,000 above the request, and 

provides the requested level of $6,555,000 for NOAA IOOS. Given 

the effect of climate change on coral reefs worldwide, the recommendation provides $29,000,000 for the Coral Reef Program, 

which includes $2,273,000 in competitive funding above the request. The Committee recognizes the broad value of the consortium 

of sensor testbeds and the vital services these efforts provide to 

NOAA and other federal agencies. The agency is directed to report 

to the Committee within 30 days of enactment of this Act on the 

feasibility of establishing a cooperative institute for the purpose of 

advancing and sustaining this essential capability and including it 

in future requests. 

Response and restoration.—The recommendation includes 

$26,134,000 for Response and Restoration, which is $1,812,000 

above the request, and which provides $3,000,000 for Estuary Restoration and $9,300,000 for Damage Assessment and Restoration.

National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS).—The recommendation provides $915,865,000 for NMFS operations, research and facilities, which is $25,223,000 above the request. 

Protected Species Research and Management.—The recommendation includes $65,987,000 for an expanded species recovery grants 

program, which is $5,000,000 above the request. The Committee 

concurs with the need for increased funding for endangered, threatened, and at-risk marine and anadromous species. The Committee 

supports the proposed recovery grants program to focus on conservation and recovery of all marine and anadromous species. Similar to the request, the recommendation provides $50,000,000 within 

the species recovery grant program for salmon projects. The Committee encourages NMFS to provide $7,100,000 from all 

appropriated funding sources for the Hawaiian Monk Seal, as it is 

one of the world’s most endangered marine species. 

The Committee encourages NOAA to demonstrate and utilize biological pattern recognition technology where appropriate for tagging fish or threatened or endangered animal species. 

Fisheries Research and Management.—The recommendation pro- vides $423,967,000 for Protected Species Research and Management which is $2,500,000 above the request. Within this amount, 

$190,133,000 is recommended for Fisheries research and management programs. The recommendation does not include $7,500,000 

for CAMEO and assessments that are not Magnuson-Stevens Reauthorization Act requirements. An increase of $10,000,000 above the 

request is provided within Salmon management activities to begin 

implementation of reforms developed by the Hatchery Scientific Review Group to operate these facilities in a manner more conducive 

to salmon recovery. 

Magnuson-Stevens Reauthorization Act (MSRA).—The Committee 

recommendation includes the requested $56,500,000 increase for 

MSRA requirements. These funds are necessary to halt the downward spiral of fisheries collapses and the need for subsequent disaster funding to support those industries which depend on fisheries. The Committee recognizes the need to ensure sustainable 

fisheries that are more profitable and more efficient for the communities that depend on them economically—and to ensure the Nation 

can rely on these resources in perpetuity. Of this funding, 

$18,600,000 is designated to implement a sector-based management approach for New England and the transition to catch shares, 

a new tool that provides flexibility for fishermen while maintaining 

sustainability. Increased funding supports the cost of expanded 

stock assessments required and is also provided for Regional Councils that make recommendations on annual catch limits (ACLs) to 

NMFS based on those assessments. 

Cooperative research provides a means for commercial and recreational fishermen to become involved in the collection of fundamental fisheries information; $4,800,000 will continue development 

of a State-Federal national registry program for marine recreational fishing participants, and expand commercial fisheries’ biological sampling programs and electronic reporting of commercial 

fisheries’ landings. 

Economic and social science research.—The requested increase of 

$3,357,000 is provided to address significant economic and social 

science research data gaps in major Federal fisheries that are cruVerDate Nov 24 2008 06:11 Jun 13, 2009 Jkt 050267 PO 00000 Frm 00029 Fmt 6659 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\HR149.XXX HR149

cial to developing support tools to conduct MSRA-mandated costbenefit analyses of regulatory options, such as ACLs and Limited 

Access Privilege Programs (LAPPs). These resources will allow the 

affected regions to provide input and engage in solutions in their 

own sectors, and to forge new relationships between the regions 

and NMFS. 

Enforcement and observers/training.—The funding provided will 

increase NMFS’ capacity to monitor compliance with annual catch 

limits, increase investigations of violations, and encourage voluntary compliance. Observer coverage will be expanded in three 

fisheries, including the multi-species fishery in New England and 

the Gulf of Mexico Reef Fish Observer Program, and pilot programs 

will begin in three other fisheries. In addition, systems will be developed to monitor landings and discards; track allocations, balances and transfers; and ensure the long-term sustainability and 

profitability of the fisheries. 

Habitat Conservation and Restoration.—The recommendation 

provides a total of $57,343,000 for Habitat Conservation and Restoration. Within this amount, $34,967,000 is provided for Fisheries 

Habitat Restoration. 

Other activities.—The Committee recognizes the importance of 

ongoing surfclam and ocean quahog surveys to sustainable fisheries 

management and encourages NOAA to work closely with stakeholders on this matter.

Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR).—The recommendation 

includes $426,675,000 for OAR operations, research and facilities, 

which is $32,470,000 above the request. The Committee supports 

NOAA’s efforts toward the creation of a National Climate Service 

and directs the agency to accelerate its current efforts with the additional funding provided in OAR and elsewhere within the bill. The recommendation provides $229,040,000 for Climate Re- search, which is $19,200,000 above the request. Within that 

amount, $5,000,000 is provided to fund a research grant competition relating to understanding and forecasting climate. The competition is to be open to all researchers at colleges, universities, 

corporations, other private sector entities, and NOAA and other 

government agency laboratories, and may cover field and laboratory measurements, modeling, data analysis, and data assimilation. 

Following a process similar to that employed by the National 

Science Foundation, proposal selection shall be based on research 

manager judgments of science priorities and peer reviews. Within 

the recommendation, the Committee provides $12,000,000 for regional climate assessments through OAR’s Regional Integrated 

Sciences and Assessment program, and directs NOAA to expand 

the program to cover additional regions. The recommendation also 

includes $2,200,000 to continue chemical climate research important to climate modeling and atmospheric science research. 

Weather and Air Quality research.—The recommendation includes $650,000 above the request for instrumentation and operation of state of the art monitoring of nutrients and mercury speciation measurement stations and laboratories. 

Ocean, Coastal and Great Lakes research.—The recommendation 

provides $59,085,000 for the Sea Grant program, which is 

$4,000,000 above the request. The Committee encourages NOAA to 

conduct long-term ice cover and water level outlooks for the Great 

Lakes to report on the impact of climate change on the habitats, 

fish and wildlife, commerce, recreational opportunities and water 

supply of the Great Lakes. 

The Committee is aware that ocean fertilization for the purpose 

of drawing carbon into the oceans has the potential to be used for 

climate change mitigation in the future, but that further research 

is needed. Within the funds provided for oceanic research, the Committee encourages NOAA to support research into carbon sinks 

through ocean fertilization.

National Environmental Satellite, Data and Information Service 

(NESDIS).—The recommendation provides $199,504,000 for NESDIS operations, research and facilities, which is $27,767,000 

above the request. The recommendation for NOAA’s Data Centers 

and Information Services is $71,056,000, which is $23,917,000 

above the request, and includes $7,000,000 above the request for 

climate data records (CDRs) and additional environmental data 

archiving, access and assessment activities. The recommendation 

also provides a total of $3,850,000 for Regional Climate Centers. 

The Committee directs NOAA, together with NASA which is 

similarly directed, to continue co-funding joint studies within available funds that should lead to a fiscal year 2011 request to build 

and fly an operational scatterometer providing sea surface vector 

wind measurements. NOAA should aggressively pursue negotiations to secure a flight opportunity for this instrument that is both 

reliable and timely.

Program Support.—The recommendation provides $436,020,000, which is $16,360,000 above the request for Program Support. 

Corporate Services.—The recommendation provides $228,549,000 

for Corporate Services and includes requested funding to support 

acquisition and grants services for NOAA. The agency is directed 

to strengthen grants and contract oversight. The Committee acknowledges the requested increase in facilities funding and continues to direct NOAA to meet the out-year funding profile necessary to reverse the growing backlog of restoration projects, as 

well as the backlog of maintenance and minor repair projects. 

NOAA Education Program.—The NOAA Education program rec- ommendation includes $31,323,000 to ensure a robust program. 

NOAA education is particularly powerful in grades K–12 and the 

Committee received testimony that children need to be reached by 

the age of ten if they are to consider technical and scientific occupations. The Committee thus provides an increase of $7,000,000 

above the request for competitive educational grants, to ensure 

that at least 15 percent of applications are successful. In addition, 

$3,000,000 is provided for the GLOBE Program. NOAA is instructed to work with NASA, which is similarly directed, during 

fiscal year 2010 to transition program responsibility for GLOBE 

from NASA to NOAA. The Committee expects the budget request 

for fiscal year 2011 to include full funding for GLOBE as a NOAA 

education program. 

Justification improvement.—The Committee directs NOAA to 

work with the Committee to reformat the justification into a more 

useable and user-friendly document, starting with the fiscal year 

2011 submission. While the Committee understands the pressures 

of the past year in producing its budget, the Committee notes the 

lack of justification for base program requests and other cross-cutting information. The Department is similarly directed. 

Research and Development (R&D) tracking and outcomes.—The 

Committee continues its direction that NOAA track the division of 

R&D funds between intramural and extramural research, and assure consistency and clarity in the collection and reporting of data. 

In addition, NOAA is directed to clearly state its expected research 

outcomes and available funding in order to provide transparency 

into the competitive grant process for extramural researchers. The 

Committee further directs NOAA to increase extramural research 

funding in future requests to build broad community support and 

leverage external funding for mission-oriented research.

(NESDIS).—The recommendation includes $1,268,857,000 for 

NESDIS acquisition and construction. Of the $12,000,000 increase, 

$2,000,000 is in support of the National Climate Service. This provides full funding for GOES–R and NPOESS. The Committee remains concerned about the impact of the GOES–R out-year costs 

on NOAA’s traditional mission areas. However, the Committee is 

particularly concerned with NPOESS’ management structure and 

projected life-cycle cost growth of $1 to $2 billion dollars, as well

as additional schedule slips. The Committee notes that this situation has been developing for some time and is the result of a dysfunctional tri-agency management approach. The Committee anticipates a change in management structure to be announced by the 

Administration soon. Accordingly, the Committee recommendation 

deletes the 50/50 NOAA/DoD funding split requirement from the 

bill language. This step will allow for more creative funding decisions to avert the critical climate and weather data gaps that are 

sure to occur if a management solution is not identified soon. 

The Committee acknowledges and fully supports the significant 

step represented by the inclusion in the budget request of 

$20,000,000 for Jason–3 to provide radar altimetry measurements 

of sea surface elevation and ocean circulation. 

Program Support (PS).—The recommendation includes 

$2,000,000 for PS Construction.

The salaries and expenses appropriation provides funding for Executive Direction and Departmental Staff Services. Executive Direction funds the development and implementation of policies and 

coordinates Bureaus’ program activities. Departmental Staff Services funds the development and implementation of the Department’s internal policies, procedures and other administrative functions. 

The Committee recommendation includes $60,000,000 for Departmental Management, which is $7,000,000 above fiscal year 

2009 and $4,000,000 below the request. Within the amounts appropriated, the Committee provides $7,000,000 for the Department’s 

highest priorities. 

Minority serving institutions digital and wireless opportunity program.—Not later than 60 days after enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Commerce shall submit to the Committees on Appropriations of the House and the Senate a report describing the Department’s plans to support and assist minority serving institutions 

(MSIs) in improving their instrumentation, connectivity, hardware 

and software for intructional and research purposes as contemplated by the amendments to the Stevenson-Wydler Technology 

Innovation Act of 1980. The Committee also encourages the Secretary to work with MSIs national stakeholder organizations in developing such strategies. 

Justification improvement.—The Committee directs the Department to work with the Committee to reformat all Commerce justifications into more useable and user-friendly documents, starting 

with the fiscal year 2011 submission. While the Committee understands the pressures of the past year in producing its budget, the 

Committee notes the lack of justification for base program requests 

and other cross-cutting information. 

Departmental oversight.—The Committee directs the Department 

to develop oversight capacity of the U.S. Patent and Trademark office, and to track fee collections and other pertinent policy and economic impacts, to avoid budgetary shortfalls, and ensure that the 

Department and the Committee are fully informed on funding 

issues. 

The Committee continues the direction that the Department provide a report that audits and evaluates all decision documents and 

expenditures by the Bureau of Census as they relate to the 2010 

Decennial. The bill retains the provision restricting $5,000,000 of 

the available appropriation from obligation until the Secretary certifies to the Committee that the Bureau of Census has met all 

standards and best management practices and Office of Management and Budget guidelines related to information technology 

projects and contract management. This provision ensures that the 

Department will remain engaged and fully informed of issues regarding the Decennial and will reduce the possibility of further lifecycle cost increases and schedule delays.

$5,000,000 for continued renovation of the HCHB, the same level 

as fiscal year 2009.

Fiscal Year 2010 request ............................................................ ............................

The mission of the Office of Inspector General (OIG) is to provide 

a unique, independent voice to the Secretary and other senior Commerce managers, as well as to Congress, in combating fraud, waste, 

abuse and mismanagement, and in improving the efficiency, effectiveness and economy of Department operations. These funds provide for OIG’s work conducting audits, inspections, and investigations. The Committee recommendation includes $27,000,000 for the 

OIG for fiscal year 2009, which is $1,200,000 above fiscal year 2009 

and the same as the request. This includes funds to expand the 

OIG’s cooperation with the Department of Justice in pursuing enforcement against restraint-of-trade and commerce activities that 

relate to the Department of Commerce programs. The Committee 

also notes the significant oversight required for the 2010 Decennial 

and NOAA satellite programs. 

GENERAL PROVISIONS—DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE

The Committee recommends the following general provisions for 

the Department of Commerce: 

Section 101 makes funds available for advanced payments only 

upon certification of officials designated by the Secretary that such 

payments are considered to be in the public interest; 

Section 102 makes appropriations for the Department for Salaries and Expenses available for hire of passenger motor vehicles, 

for services, and for uniforms and allowances as authorized by law; 

Section 103 provides the authority to transfer funds between Department of Commerce appropriation accounts and requiring notification to the Committee of certain actions; 

Section 104 provides that any costs incurred by the Department 

in response to funding reductions shall be absorbed within the total 

budgetary resources available to the Department and shall be subject to the reprogramming limitations set forth in this Act; 

Section 105 extends Congressional notification requirements for 

the GOES–R satellite program; 

Section 106 provides for the reimbursement for services within 

Department of Commerce buildings; and 

Section 107 provides the Administrator with the authority to 

avail NOAA of needed resources, with the consent of those supplying the resources, to carry out responsibilities of any statute administered by NOAA.

GENERAL ADMINISTRATION

Bill compared with: 

Fiscal Year 2009 enacted ............................................................ +12,683,000 

Fiscal Year 2010 request ............................................................ ¥60,000,000 

General Administration (GA) supports the Attorney General (AG) 

and senior policy level officials in managing Department resources 

and developing policies for legal, law enforcement and criminal justice activities. GA also provides administrative support services to 

the legal divisions. For fiscal year 2010, the Committee recommends $118,488,000, which is $60,000,000 below the budget request. 

Post-Guantanamo activities.—The Committee recommendation 

does not include the $60,000,000 requested for the anticipated costs 

of detaining, prosecuting and incarcerating individuals transferred 

from the detention facilities at Guantanamo Bay. Instead, the Committee directs the Administration to submit a comprehensive plan 

and cost estimates, and, if such plan, approved by Congress, involves increased costs to DOJ, to submit a budget amendment or 

a supplemental request for these activities. That budget amendment or supplemental should consider the possibility of transferring to DOJ the funds currently used by the Department of Defense to operate the Guantanamo Bay facility, as those funds will 

no longer be needed by DOD. 

Reducing crime in Indian Country.—The Committee is concerned 

about the epidemic levels of violent crime in Indian Country, including sexual and domestic violence and crime related to substance abuse, and provides significant additional resources in the 

bill to help combat this crime. In addition to increased funding, 

however, combating crime in Indian Country requires an increased 

level of effort and coordination by Federal, State, and tribal law enforcement agencies. 

To help foster such collaboration, the Committee directs the Attorney General, in coordination with the Secretary of the Interior 

and State and tribal officials, to establish an interagency and tribal 

working group to clarify and resolve the law enforcement jurisdiction challenges that have hindered criminal investigations and 

prosecutions in Indian Country and to identify other challenges 

and needs related to tribal justice systems, including needs associated with secure law enforcement information sharing systems. 

The working group shall develop recommendations on how to 

streamline the Federal, State, and tribal response to criminal investigations and prosecutions, and shall submit a report containing 

such recommendations to the Committee within 90 days of enactment of this Act. 

Among the goals established for the working group shall be the 

development of protocols to ensure that Federal law enforcement 

agencies which decline to initiate an investigation or which terminate an investigation of an alleged violation of Federal law in Indian Country without referral for prosecution submit to the approVerDate Nov 24 2008 06:11 Jun 13, 2009 Jkt 050267 PO 00000 Frm 00051 Fmt 6659 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\HR149.XXX HR149

priate tribal official a report describing the rationale for terminating the investigation; the type of crime alleged; the status of the 

perpetrator; and the status of the victim. These protocols should 

also ensure that United States Attorneys coordinate with tribal 

prosecutors sufficiently well in advance of prosecution deadlines 

mandated by the statute of limitations to permit tribal prosecutors 

to pursue cases, as appropriate. The working group should also review and define the responsibilities of Assistant United States Attorneys serving as Tribal Liaisons in order to better coordinate the 

prosecution of crimes on reservations. 

NATIONAL DRUG INTELLIGENCE CENTER

Fiscal Year 2010 request ............................................................ ............................

1Funding for this activity was previously provided through the Intelligence Community Management Account in the defense appropriations bill. In fiscal year 2009, $44,000,000 was appropriated for NDIC in the 

defense bill (P.L. 110–329) and transferred to the Department of Justice. 

The National Drug Intelligence Center (NDIC) provides strategic 

drug-related intelligence, document and computer exploitation support, and training assistance to the drug control, public health, law 

enforcement, and intelligence communities in order to reduce the 

adverse effects of drug trafficking, drug abuse and other drug-related criminal activities. For fiscal year 2010, the Committee recommends $44,023,000, which is equal to the budget request. 

JUSTICE INFORMATION SHARING TECHNOLOGY

Fiscal Year 2009 enacted ................................................................... $80,000,000 

Fiscal Year 2010 request ................................................................... 123,617,000

Bill compared with: 

Fiscal Year 2009 enacted ............................................................ +29,417,000 

Fiscal Year 2010 request ............................................................ ¥14,200,000 

The Justice Information Sharing Technology (JIST) fund provides for corporate investments in information technology (IT). As 

a centralized fund under the control of the DOJ Chief Information 

Officer, it ensures that investments in information sharing technology and infrastructure are well planned and aligned with DOJ’s 

overall IT strategy and enterprise architecture. For fiscal year 

2010, the Committee recommends $109,417,000, which is 

$14,200,000 below the budget request. 

Litigation Case Management System (LCMS).—As recently revealed by the DOJ Inspector General (IG), the LCMS is at significant risk of failing to meet the Department’s expectations and requirements. Implementation of LCMS is well over budget and behind schedule and is now on indefinite hold at most of the Department’s litigating divisions. The recommended level does not include 

funds for the continued deployment of the system, but the Committee will consider a reprogramming for these funds once the Department has completed all of the IG’s LCMS recommendations 

and submitted a report to the House and Senate Committees on 

Appropriations detailing the steps taken to contain cost and schedule overruns. 


rfrederick on PROD1PC67 with HEARING

Unified Financial Management System (UFMS).—The Committee’s recommendation includes the restoration of funds for the 

UFMS base program. The Department is directed to submit a list 

of specific and detailed performance milestones for UFMS development and deployment in fiscal year 2010, including dates for 

planned completion. These milestones should be reported to the 

House and Senate Committees on Appropriations within 60 days of 

the enactment of this Act, and quarterly updates should be provided on the Department’s progress in meeting those milestones. 

Cyber security.—The Committee’s recommendation includes 

$27,439,000, as requested, to strengthen DOJ’s cyber security program. The Committee supports the Department’s efforts to better 

protect its networks and other information technology assets and 

hopes that these resources will allow DOJ to achieve the same success in its cyber security implementation as it has achieved on its 

FISMA report card. However, the Committee urges the Department to exercise discretion in testing cyber security protections to 

ensure that all relevant players have been alerted to the timing of 

these tests and to minimize any potential negative impact on DOJ 

employees. 

TACTICAL LAW ENFORCEMENT WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS

Bill compared with: 

Fiscal Year 2009 enacted ............................................................ +20,143,000 

Fiscal Year 2010 request ............................................................ ............................

The mission of Tactical Law Enforcement Wireless Communications is to provide secure, interoperable and reliable wireless communication services required by DOJ’s law enforcement components and all Federal agents and officers engaged in the conduct 

of law enforcement, protective services, homeland defense and disaster response missions. This account funds component legacy network requirements, operations of the Wireless Management Office 

and the acquisition of new equipment and services. For fiscal year 

2010, the Committee recommends $205,143,000, which is equal to 

the budget request. 

IWN funding.—The Committee’s recommendation includes an increase of $20,143,000 for the continued development and deployment of the Integrated Wireless Network (IWN). Consistent with 

direction in the explanatory statement accompanying P.L. 111–8, 

all funds for IWN should be spent on the modernization and improvement of land mobile radio (LMR) systems. Secure cellular or 

data systems and non-LMR tactical equipment must be budgeted 

for and requested separately. 

Performance milestone reporting.—The Committee expects to continue receiving quarterly reports on the achievement of established 

performance milestones for the use of IWN funds. These reports, 

which were begun in fiscal year 2009, should reflect the Department’s progress toward each milestone and the extent to which 

those milestones are being achieved within cost, schedule and performance expectations.

1Total is net of a $4,000,000 transfer from the USCIS Immigration Examiners Fee account. 

This appropriation supports the Executive Office of Immigration 

Review (EOIR) and the Office of the Pardon Attorney (OPA). The 

mission of EOIR is to provide the timely and uniform interpretation and application of immigration law, ensuring due process and 

fair treatment for all parties involved. OPA receives, investigates 

and considers petitions for all forms of executive clemency. For fiscal year 2010, the Committee recommends $296,685,000, which is 

equal to the budget request. 

Personnel and infrastructure increases.—The Committee recommendation includes $24,253,000 for personnel and infrastructure 

investments needed to efficiently process an increasing immigration adjudication caseload. Of this total, $10,250,000 is for the 

eWorld document management system to improve EOIR’s ability to 

store, distribute and archive its files. 

Legal Orientation Program (LOP).—The recommendation includes $6,500,000, an increase of $2,500,000, for the continued implementation and expansion of the LOP. EOIR is encouraged to 

seek alien-specific detention costs and duration of detention data 

from ICE in order to develop a more accurate estimate of the cost 

savings to the government provided by participation in the LOP. 

Competency standards.—The explanatory statement accompanying P.L. 111–8 urged EOIR to work with experts and interested parties in developing standards and materials for judges to 

use in conducting competency evaluations of persons appearing in 

immigration court. EOIR is directed to report to the House and 

Senate Committees on Appropriations within 30 days of the enactment of this Act on the status of its efforts to develop this competency bench book. The report should also address the steps DOJ 

has taken to provide safeguards for the rights of aliens judged to 

be mentally incompetent, as required by 8 U.S.C. 1229a(b)(3). 

Fraud program.—EOIR is urged to set written standards and criteria for use in judging potentially fraudulent evidence and testimony provided to an immigration court. The lack of such standards 

encourages an ad hoc approach to fraud enforcement that may result in inconsistent or inaccurate determinations.

fendants and aliens awaiting adjudication and/or removal from the 

United States. For fiscal year 2010, the Committee recommends 

$1,438,663,000, which is equal to the budget request. 

Inadequacy of budget requests.—The Committee remains frustrated by the regular occurrence of funding shortfalls at OFDT, 

even when the budget request has been fully funded. In the past 

year, the Committee has twice had to approve emergency 

reprogrammings to avert deficiencies at OFDT, and it appears that 

a third will be necessary before fiscal year 2009 is complete. OFDT 

has either not requested sufficient resources to meet its projected 

needs or its projections are too inaccurate to serve as predictors of 

annual funding requirements. The Committee’s recommendation 

fully supports OFDT’s projections for 2010, but more analytical attention is needed to determine whether OFDT’s methodology for 

deriving those projections is sound. Accordingly, the Government 

Accountability Office (GAO) is directed to review OFDT’s methods 

for projecting population levels, jail day rates and other factors that 

are translated into the annual budget request for detention capacity. GAO should make recommendations to the House and Senate 

Committees on Appropriations on steps OFDT should take to develop more accurate projections of funding requirements no later 

than August 31, 2010.

The Office of Inspector General (OIG) conducts independent investigations, audits, inspections, and special reviews of DOJ personnel and programs to detect and deter waste, fraud, abuse, and 

misconduct, and to promote integrity, economy, efficiency, and effectiveness in DOJ operations. For fiscal year 2010, the Committee 

recommends $84,368,000, which is equal to the budget request. 

Counterterrorism oversight.—The Committee’s recommendation 

includes an increase of $4,000,000 for the OIG to continue counterterrorism and national security oversight begun with prior year 

supplemental funds. With the annualization of these funds into the 

regular budget process, the Committee expects the practice of requesting annual supplemental appropriations for the OIG to end. 

Grants management.—The Committee’s recommendation also includes an increase of $2,000,000 for enhanced auditing and oversight of the Department’s grant programs. In the execution of these 

funds, the Committee urges OIG to include a focus on financial 

management issues at the Office of Justice Programs (OJP). The 

Committee is particularly interested in assessing OJP’s ability to 

track the disbursement of its appropriations by activity.

Tax Division, the Criminal Division, the Civil Division, the Environmental and Natural Resources Division, the Civil Rights Division, the Office of Legal Counsel, and Interpol-U.S. National Central Bureau. The Committee recommends a total of $875,097,000 

for General Legal Activities, which is $71,090,000 above the fiscal 

year 2009 enacted level and equal to the budget request. 

The funding is provided as follows:

The Committee strongly supports the additional resources proposed for the Department’s litigation divisions, for which inadequate funding has been proposed in past years. The Committee is 

particularly supportive of the additional resources proposed for the 

Civil Rights Division to restore its base capacity to enforce civil 

rights laws; expand its capacity to prosecute and provide litigation 

support for human trafficking and unsolved civil rights era crimes; 

carry out its responsibilities associated with the civil rights of institutionalized persons and the access rights of the disabled; and enhance the enforcement of fair housing and fair lending laws.

cases brought under these laws, acts on antitrust cases before the 

Supreme Court, and reviews decisions of regulatory commissions 

relating to antitrust law. Appropriations for the Antitrust Division 

are offset by Hart-Scott-Rodino Act pre-merger filing fee collections. The Committee recommends $163,170,000 in budget authority for the Antitrust Division, $5,382,000 above the fiscal year 2009

This appropriation supports the Executive Office for United 

States Attorneys (EOUSA) and the 94 United States Attorney Offices, which serve as the principal litigators for the U.S. Government for criminal, civil, and debt collection matters. 

The Committee recommends $1,934,003,000 for the United 

States Attorneys (USA), which is $97,667,000 above the fiscal year 

2009 enacted level and $8,000,000 above the budget request. 

Pro-IP Act.—Within the total amount provided, the Committee 

recommendation includes an additional $2,000,000 above the budget request for activities authorized under Sec. 402 of the Prioritizing Resources and Organization for Intellectual Property Act of 

2008 (P.L. 110–403). 

Child exploitation investigations and prosecutions.—The Committee expects EOUSA to continue to focus on investigations and 

prosecutions of offenses related to the sexual exploitation of children, as authorized by the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006. Not less than $36,980,000 shall be available for this 

purpose in fiscal year 2010. 

Southwest border enforcement.—Within funds provided, the Committee includes the requested programmatic increase of $8,127,000 

and 75 positions to strengthen prosecutions of criminal enterprises, 

including human, drug, and weapon smuggling, along the southwest border. 

Combating financial fraud.—Within funds provided, the Committee approves the programmatic request of $7,500,000 and 43 positions to enhance efforts in the areas of mortgage fraud, bankruptcy, affirmative civil enforcement, and white collar crime. 

Prosecution of serious crimes in Indian Country.—The Committee 

continues to be concerned about the rate of prosecution of serious 

crimes in Indian Country, and notes that a Resource Plan for such 

prosecutions was due to the Committee on May 11, 2009. The Attorney General is directed to expedite the submission of that report. Within the total amount provided, the Committee provides an 

additional $6,000,000 for the hiring of additional Assistant U.S. Attorneys to increase the rate of needed prosecutions, and provides 

a proportional increase to the appropriation for the Federal Bureau 

of Investigation to support additional criminal investigations. 

Terrorist recruitment.—The Committee is concerned by reports 

that some young Somali-American men have been recruited by terrorist groups to fight in the Somali civil war. The Committee is 

aware that the U.S. Attorney for the District of Minnesota has engaged in efforts to help the Somali-American community in Minnesota prevent such recruitment, and urges the continuation and 

expansion of those efforts.

The mission of the United States Trustee Program (USTP) is to 

promote integrity and efficiency in the Nation’s bankruptcy system 

by enforcing bankruptcy laws and providing oversight of private 

trustees. The USTP is organized into three levels: the Executive 

Office for United States Trustees in Washington, DC; United States 

Trustees in 21 regions whose geographic jurisdiction is established 

by statute; and 95 field offices, which cover 150 court sites and 280 

other administrative hearing locations. The Committee recommends $224,488,000 for the USTP, which is $7,072,000 over the 

fiscal year 2009 enacted level and equal to the budget request. The 

appropriation is offset by $210,000,000 in offsetting fee collections

The United States Marshals Service (USMS) is responsible for 

providing physical security to Federal judges and U.S. courthouses; 

protecting witnesses, jurors and members of the public; safely and 

humanely transporting and detaining Federal prisoners; and apprehending fugitives. For fiscal year 2010, the Committee recommends 

$1,138,388,000, which is equal to the budget request. 

Sex offender apprehension.—The Committee appreciates that the 

Marshals Service has annualized $15,812,000 of prior year supplemental funds into its fiscal year 2010 budget request for enforcement of the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act. However, the budget request does not provide any additional funds to 

expand this program beyond the current level of effort.

essary. Consequently, the Committee’s recommendation includes 

$20,000,000 to expand Adam Walsh Act enforcement activities in 

districts across the country. 

Immigration enforcement.—The recommendation includes 

$114,345,000 for new personnel, infrastructure, information technology and other items necessary to address the enormous workload generated by increased enforcement activity in other agencies 

and bureaus. The Committee hopes that this investment will at 

least partially alleviate the pressure on other Marshals programs, 

such as fugitive apprehension, now that more dedicated personnel 

will be available to handle the immigration-related caseload. Due 

to the large funding increase, however, the Committee would like 

to receive updates on the Marshals’ execution of these funds, including the amount of money obligated and the number of new 

hires brought on board. The Marshals Service shall submit this information to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations 

on a quarterly basis.

National Security Reviews.—NSD’s budget justification shows 

that fewer National Security Reviews than planned were undertaken in fiscal year 2008. NSD is directed to give immediate notice

The Interagency Crime and Drug Enforcement (ICDE) account 

seeks to combine the investigative and prosecutorial resources of 

the Department to bring down the ‘‘worst of the worst’’ in multinational drug trafficking organizations. The interagency program of 

the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces (OCDETF) focuses participants on the mission of attacking high-level organizations through coordinated, multi-jurisdictional investigations. For 

fiscal year 2010, the Committee recommends $528,569,000, which 

is $8,938,000 below the budget request. The decrease reflects the 

Committee’s intention to focus new program initiatives for the 

OCDETF-participating components within those accounts rather 

than through the OCDETF structure.

2 Includes $101,066,000 for overseas contingency operations. 

The mission of the FBI is to protect and defend the United States 

against terrorism and foreign intelligence threats; to uphold and 

enforce the criminal laws of the United States; and to provide leadership and criminal justice services to Federal, State, municipal 

and international agencies and partners. For fiscal year 2010, the 

Committee recommends $7,718,741,000, which is equal to the 

budget request. 

Materials submitted in support of the budget.—The FBI’s congressional budget justification requires some additional information 

in order to better aid the Committee’s review and analysis of the 

FBI’s needs. First, the FBI is directed to submit all future budget 

requests with a listing of enhancement proposals in priority order 

so that the Committee can weigh the relative importance of each 

new initiative. A prioritization of enhancements within each end 

state capability or grouped into tiers will not be sufficient to meet 

this requirement. 

Second, the justification needs to include more quantifiable descriptions of the end state capabilities. The Committee understands 

that the Bureau is currently working to develop more discrete and 

quantifiable end states and is encouraged by informal indications 

of progress in this area. When this exercise is complete, the newly 

refined end state capabilities should be included in justification 

materials, along with a description of how each new initiative will 

advance the Bureau toward the achievement of an end state. 


rfrederick on PROD1PC67 with HEARING
63 

Finally, the classified nature of much of the FBI’s work necessitates classified descriptions of some of the enhancement requests. 

However, the classified addendum to the justification is not always 

made immediately available to the Committee on the date of budget submission. For the fiscal year 2011 process and all future requests, the FBI is directed to submit the classified addendum concurrently with the unclassified justification. 

Hiring challenges.—The FBI has proposed extremely aggressive 

hiring goals for both 2009, in which more than 2,200 positions will 

need to be filled, and 2010, in which the FBI proposes adding 1,389 

new positions while simultaneously managing attrition that can 

also be expected to exceed 1,000 positions. The Committee is skeptical of the FBI’s ability to meet these hiring goals, as they exceed 

what the Bureau was capable of achieving in 2008 (when directfunded on-board positions only increased by 928 and vacancies increased by 174). 

In order to improve the Committee’s oversight of the FBI’s hiring 

program, the FBI is directed to provide immediately to the House 

and Senate Committees on Appropriations a hiring plan for directfunded positions in fiscal year 2010. This plan should show onboard start of year staffing, anticipated attrition, planned enhancement hiring, planned vacancy hiring and expected end of year vacancies. This data should be supplemented by quarterly reports 

showing the number of direct-funded hires and separations in that 

quarter, as well as a cumulative running total of each. 

Hollow positions.—The FBI is still carrying at least 450 ‘‘hollow’’ 

positions, for which funds were appropriated but subsequently diverted by the FBI for other purposes. The Committee discourages 

the FBI from continuing to carry these existing hollow positions or 

taking any action that would create additional hollow positions in 

the future. Consequently, the FBI is directed to prioritize the filling 

of the 450 existing hollow positions prior to seeking additional new 

positions in any future budget request. In addition, the FBI is directed to notify the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations prior to taking any action that would divert salary funds 

away from the positions for which they were appropriated, either 

for temporary uses (e.g., equipment purchases) or ongoing needs 

(e.g., pay raise absorption). 

White collar crime.—The Committee is concerned that the FBI’s 

budget proposal focuses too exclusively on mortgage fraud at the 

expense of other high priority financial fraud issues, including 

fraud or abuse associated with the Troubled Asset Relief Program 

and the investigation of accounting fraud, self-dealing and market 

manipulation. The Committee’s recommendation includes an increase of $25,491,000, as requested, for mortgage fraud, but the 

FBI is directed to also make these funds available for other high 

priority financial fraud cases. 

Civil rights enforcement.—The recommended level includes an increase of $8,000,000 for civil rights enforcement, which will complement civil rights initiatives funded in other portions of the Department. The Committee expects these funds to be used for investigations of human trafficking, hate crimes and cases pursued 

under the Emmett Till Unsolved Civil Rights Crimes Act. 

Intellectual property enforcement.—Within amounts provided,

vestigate intellectual property (IP) cases as authorized under section 402 of the PRO-IP Act (P.L. 110–403). These new agents are 

in addition to the IP-dedicated agents funded in the Fiscal Year 

2009 Omnibus Appropriations Act (P.L. 111–8) and identified in 

the Department’s 2009 spend plan. The Department is directed to 

provide a report to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations with an expenditure analysis of these congressional augmentations to ensure that these agents are solely investigating and 

supporting the criminal prosecution of violations of those Federal 

intellectual property laws cited in the statement accompanying P.L. 

111–8. The report shall provide an accounting of the agents placed 

in specific field offices with Computer Hacking and Intellectual 

Property units and the types of intellectual property investigations 

pursued by these agents. Corresponding prosecutorial resources 

have been provided in other portions of this Act. 

Gangs and violent crime.—Gangs pose a continuing threat to 

communities across the country and are a leading contributor to 

rising violent crime rates in many jurisdictions. The recommendation includes an increase of $25,000,000 to expand the FBI’s ability 

to confront gangs and violent crime in U.S. communities and in Indian Country through the Safe Streets and Safe Trails task force 

programs. These programs allow each FBI field office to address 

violent crime, major theft, street gang and drug-related violence 

through the establishment of FBI-sponsored, long-term, proactive 

task forces with State, local, tribal, and other Federal law enforcement agencies, focused on the dismantlement and disruption of violent street gangs. The Committee expects this increased funding to 

be used to expand the resources of existing task forces, and to support the creation of at least 3 new task forces. 

Records management.—The Committee’s recommendation includes requested funding to continue records indexing and other 

preparations to make FBI’s case and administrative files universally searchable and accessible, and to ensure that they are useful 

intelligence and investigative tools. 

Overseas Contingency Operations.—The Committee’s recommendation includes $101,066,000, as requested, for the 

annualization of FBI’s terrorism supplemental funds. The Committee expects this action to end the process of annual supplemental appropriations for the FBI. 

Next Generation Identification (NGI).—The Committee remains 

concerned with the size and scope of the FBI’s NGI program. With 

respect to size, the Committee notes that the Incremental Development Plan (IDP) and the Integrated Master Schedule (IMS) have 

been rewritten three times over nine months, and the FBI advises 

that program requirements are still not locked down. The inability 

to finalize program requirements and a budget and schedule baseline raises the possibility of significant budget overages and schedule delays. The FBI is directed to notify the House and Senate 

Committees on Appropriations prior to acceptance of any Engineering Change Proposal that will change the IDP or the IMS as they 

existed on April 14, 2009. 

With respect to program scope, the Committee understands that 

the FBI intends to engage in trade studies to determine the utility 

of adding new biometric indicators to NGI. However, it is unclear 

how the FBI will judge the reliability and suitability of these new 


rfrederick on PROD1PC67 with HEARING
65 

biometrics for use as an identification tool. The FBI is directed to 

report to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations 

within 90 days of the enactment of this Act on the standards by 

which the Bureau will assess the maturity of any biometric indicator being considered for inclusion in NGI. 

National Security Reviews.—The budget justification for the National Security Division (NSD) indicates that NSD completed fewer 

National Security Reviews than planned in fiscal year 2008 because the FBI’s Office of General Counsel, who must participate in 

the reviews, was busy with other requirements and commitments. 

This seems to imply that the FBI has insufficient resources dedicated to assisting in these reviews, which are required as part of 

the Department’s National Security Letter (NSL) audit and remediation plan. The Committee does not understand how such a resource problem exists, however, given that several million dollars 

of NSL remediation funds remain available from prior supplemental appropriations. If additional resources are required beyond 

those existing remediation dollars, the FBI is urged to identify 

those needs and request sufficient funds in fiscal year 2011. 

Retention and relocation bonuses.—The Committee is aware of 

continuing concerns about annuity losses and relocation costs associated with the implementation of the Field Office Supervisory 

Term Limit policy. In light of such concerns, and difficulties in filling leadership positions at the field supervisor level, the FBI revised the policy in December, 2008 to extend the term limit from 

five to seven years. Title V of this bill continues, and makes permanent, retention and relocation bonus authorities provided to the 

FBI under 5 U.S.C. 5759. The Committee encourages the Bureau 

to use these authorities to provide appropriate compensation to 

agents who were relocated to high-cost areas or have been otherwise negatively affected by the implementation of the Field Office 

Supervisory Term Limit policy. The Committee expects the FBI to 

propose legislation or to request appropriations, if appropriate, to 

address any further impacts attributable to this policy.

recommends $132,796,000, which is $10,000,000 below the budget 

request. 

Construction queue.—The budget proposes funds to begin another 

new construction project at the FBI Academy even though there 

are other construction projects pending for which additional funds 

are required. It is inefficient to continue appropriating funds to 

begin new construction without first sufficiently funding existing 

projects. Consequently, the Committee has not provided funds for 

any new projects this year.

Continuing narcoterrorism investments.—The Committee’s recommendation includes $10,000,000, as requested, for the annualization of DEA supplemental funds that are not otherwise provided 

for through the Department of State request. The Committee expects this action to end the process of annual supplemental appropriations for DEA. 

Mobile Enforcement Teams (MET).—The Committee recommendation includes $5,000,000 above the request to continue the 

effort to reestablish Mobile Enforcement Teams (MET) in each domestic field office. The activities of MET should continue to include 

a focus on methamphetamine enforcement. 

Methamphetamine strategy.—The rise of ‘‘smurfing’’ as a mean of 

evading the pseudoephedrine purchase limits contained in the 

Combat Methamphetamine Epidemic Act has created a resurgence 

in the number of small toxic labs operating in the country. The 

Committee directs DEA to report to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations within 90 days of the enactment of this Act 

on the smurfing enforcement strategy it intends to pursue. The 

strategy report should describe both the actions DEA can pursue 

with current enforcement authorities, as well as any legislative 

changes that might improve DEA’s ability to identify and apprehend individuals engaged in smurfing. 

Medical marijuana policies.—Within 60 days of enactment of this 

Act, the Department shall provide to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations clarification of the Department’s policy

regarding enforcement of federal laws and use of federal resources 

against individuals involved in medical marijuana activities.

ATF is responsible for enforcing Federal criminal laws and regulating the firearms and explosives industries. The combined efforts 

of special agents and industry operations investigators allow ATF 

to identify, investigate and recommend for prosecution violators of 

the Federal firearms and explosives laws. Additionally, ATF ensures that licensees are operating within established laws and regulations. For fiscal year 2010, the Committee recommends 

$1,105,772,000, which is $9,000,000 below the budget request. 

Southwest border enforcement.—The Committee recommendation 

includes an increase of $17,989,000 in support of ATF’s Project 

Gunrunner. This brings the total amount available to ATF for 

weapons trafficking along the border to $59,929,000. However, 

$10,000,000 of that total is one-time money provided through the 

American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Accordingly, these funds 

need to be built into ATF’s regular appropriation no later than fiscal year 2011 in order to avoid a diminution of effort directed to 

Project Gunrunner. The Committee directs ATF to ensure that 

these funds are annualized into its fiscal year 2011 request. 

eTrace reconfiguration.—ATF may need to expand and reconfigure eTrace and related systems in order to efficiently find and 

package responses to trace data requests as permitted by the bill 

language associated with this account. If additional resources are 

necessary for this reconfiguration, ATF is encouraged to use the 

Department’s authorities under P.L. 102–140 to access up to 

$8,500,000 of expired prior year funds for this purpose. 

National Center for Explosives Research and Training 

(NCETR).—Funds associated with Phase Two of the NCETR 

project have not been included in the Committee’s recommendation. 

While the Committee supports the work that will be done at 

NCETR, limited fiscal resources must be first directed to the southwest border firearms trafficking efforts that support the Department’s larger Mexican Cartel Strategy. 

Gangs and violent crime.—The Committee recommendation includes $10,000,000 for ATF’s Violent Crime Impact Team (VCIT) 

program for violent crime and gang enforcement. VCITs are interagency task forces that identify, target, disrupt and refer for prosecution violent criminals and gang members. The Committee expects these resources to be used to expand the activities of existing 

VCITs and to establish new VCITs in geographic areas of highest 

need.

FEDERAL PRISON SYSTEM

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

Fiscal Year 2009 enacted ................................................................... $5,595,754,000 

Fiscal Year 2010 request ................................................................... 5,979,831,000 

Recommended in the bill ................................................................... 6,077,231,000 

Bill compared with: 

Fiscal Year 2009 enacted ............................................................ +481,477,000 

Fiscal Year 2010 request ............................................................ +97,400,000 

The Bureau of Prisons (BOP) is responsible for confining offenders in the controlled environments of prisons and community-based 

facilities that are safe, humane, cost-efficient and appropriately secure, and for providing work and other self-improvement opportunities to assist offenders in becoming law-abiding citizens upon release. The Committee recommends $6,077,231,000 for the salaries 

and expenses of the Federal Prison System, which is $481,477,000 

over the fiscal year 2009 enacted level and $97,400,000 above the 

budget request. 

Correctional officer staffing.—The Federal prison population has 

grown explosively over the last 20 years. Rising from roughly 

25,000 prisoners in 1980, the population is estimated to grow to 

more than 210,000 by the end of fiscal year 2010. Correspondingly, 

the overcrowding rate is projected to rise to 38 percent in 2010, up 

from 37 percent in 2009. Chronic underfunding based on inadequate budget requests have forced BOP to rely excessively on correctional officer overtime and the diversion of program staff instead 

of hiring additional correctional officers, leaving the workforce 

spread dangerously thin and compromising BOP’s ability to operate 

the Federal Prison System in a safe and efficient manner. 

Although Congress provided an additional $160,000,000 above 

the budget request for fiscal year 2009, BOP used those additional 

funds to meet the basic operational needs of its facilities, and plans 

no net increase in staffing in fiscal year 2009 to begin to address 

its understaffing problem. The Committee is extremely concerned 

that the proposed budget for fiscal year 2010 would once again not 

permit BOP to manage the basic operational needs of its prisons. 

It is particularly concerning that the BOP budget justification describes as ‘‘program increases’’ a number of inflationary cost increases that should be considered budget adjustments required to 

meet BOP’s basic operational needs. In addition, while the BOP 


rfrederick on PROD1PC67 with HEARING
69 

budget proposes funding increases to activate two new prisons and 

to hire a significant number of new correctional officers, the Committee is not convinced that BOP will actually be able to carry out 

those proposals while its basic operational needs continue to be underfunded. 

The Committee believes that the activation of newly constructed 

prisons and a reduction in the staff-to-prisoner ratio must not be 

delayed. As a result, the Committee directs that no less than 

$70,568,000 of the total salaries and expenses appropriation be 

used entirely for additional correctional officer staffing. As requested, no less than $52,696,000 of the total shall be used to activate FCI McDowell and no less than $49,424,000 of the total shall 

be used to activate FCI Mendota, including all net new staffing 

that will be required to operate these facilities. If additional salaries and expenses funding is required to meet BOP’s operating 

needs during fiscal year 2010, the Committee fully expects the Department to propose a reprogramming of funds from outside BOP 

to meet those needs. 

The Committee notes that the Government Accountability Office 

(GAO) is currently evaluating BOP’s budget formulation methodology, and expects BOP and the Department to review carefully 

any recommendations made by GAO when formulating BOP’s fiscal 

year 2011 budget to ensure that sufficient funding to meet basic 

operationial needs is proposed. The Department should also 

present the fiscal year 2011 budget for BOP in a way that accurately differentiates non-discretionary, inflationary cost adjustments to BOP’s base budget requirements from program and staffing enhancements. 

To ensure that BOP’s correctional worker staffing needs are 

clearly defined, the Committee directs BOP to provide a report to 

the Committee, within 60 days of enactment of this Act, identifying 

the appropriate number of correctional workers, differentiated by 

staffing category, required at each BOP prison facility to ensure 

the safe and effective operation of that facility. The Committee understands that staffing needs vary based on each facility’s security 

level, programming needs, design, and other factors, but strongly 

believes that assessing staffing needs on a facility-by-facility basis 

is a more effective way of establishing staffing goals than using a 

system-wide staff-to-prisoner ratio. The Committee directs BOP to 

premise its funding proposal for staffing in fiscal year 2011 on such 

a facility-specific assessment of staffing needs. 

Federal Prison System population.—Between 2010 and 2014, 

BOP estimates that it will experience a net growth of 22,500 prisoners while planning to add only an additional 13,000 beds in new 

prisons during the same time period. With the BOP prisoner population currently exceeding the rated capacity of BOP facilities by 37 

percent, the Federal Prison System prisoner population is on an 

unsustainable path. While the Committee fully supports consequences for convicted offenders that are commensurate with the 

seriousness of their crimes, it also notes the importance of ensuring 

that those consequences minimize costs to the American taxpayer 

and reduce the incidence of recidivism. 

The Committee is aware that a number of States, through a reform effort known as Justice Reinvestment, have initiated efforts to 

identify the major drivers of the growth in their prison populations 


rfrederick on PROD1PC67 with HEARING
70 

and implement evidenced-based reforms designed to reduce prison 

population growth and recidivism while restoring high-crime communities and improving public safety. These States have found 

that the growth in prison populations is primarily fueled by high 

recidivism rates, including high probation and parole revocations 

that are often driven by technical violations. These factors lead to 

higher prison admissions that require more investments in prison 

construction and prison operations. With bipartisan support, evidence-based criminal justice reforms have helped a number of 

States, including Texas and Kansas, significantly reduce recidivism 

rates and reduce the need for new prison construction, allowing 

States to reinvest resources in prisoner reentry, crime prevention, 

and other programs that help to further reduce recidivism. 

The Committee is aware that a similar effort is underway at the 

Federal level through a high level Department task force that is 

evaluating various legislative and administrative options for reforming the Federal criminal justice system in ways that could help 

reduce the population of the Federal Prison System. The Committee strongly encourages this effort, and particularly urges the 

Department and BOP to consider evidence-based policy changes 

that BOP could make under its current statutory authority that 

would help it responsibly manage its offender population while reducing recidivism, improving public safety, and reducing future 

costs to the American taxpayer. 

The Committee notes that an American Bar Association Commission on Effective Criminal Sanctions roundtable recently made a 

number of recommendations for using current legal authorities to 

reduce the number of nonviolent offenders in BOP facilities in ways 

that could also contribute to reduced recidivism among those offenders. Among the recommendations were a proposal to change 

the way BOP calculates good time to make it consistent with the 

guidelines of the U.S. Sentencing Commission and a proposal to reduce the sentences of nonviolent criminal aliens who agree to be 

deported, a tool that a number of States are successfully using to 

reduce their own prison populations and reduce prison expenditures. 

The National Institute of Corrections (NIC), an agency within the 

BOP that provides support and assistance to Federal, State and 

local correctional agencies, is currently evaluating the potential of 

various evidence-based criminal justice reforms on State prison 

populations to quantify the potential cost savings that could be 

achieved if those reforms were implemented. The Committee directs the NIC to expand its analysis to include the potential effect 

of reforms on the Federal prison population and to provide a report 

to the Committee on the results by March 1, 2010. 

Second Chance Act implementation.—The Second Chance Act 

(P.L. 110–199) imposed new requirements on BOP to facilitate the 

successful reentry of offenders back into their communities and reduce the rate of recidivism. Among those requirements are the establishment of recidivism reduction goals and increased collaboration with State, Tribal, local, community, and faith-based organizations to improve the reentry of prisoners. The Committee is aware 

that BOP is currently developing an Inmate Skills Development 

(ISD) strategy, as required by the Second Chance Act, to assess a 

prisoner’s skills upon incarceration and provide programming 


rfrederick on PROD1PC67 with HEARING
71 

based on that assessment to fill skill deficits and address other reentry needs. The Committee recommendation includes $13,778,000 

and 61 FTE for ISD and other Second Chance Act activities, as proposed by the Department. The Committee notes, however, that 

BOP has indicated that approximately $80,000,000 is required to 

fully implement its Second Chance Act responsibilities. The Committee expects the Department to propose significant additional 

funding for this purpose in the fiscal year 2011 budget request. 

The Second Chance Act clarified that BOP has the authority to 

place offenders in community corrections, including residential reentry centers (RRCs), for up to 12 months to facilitate their successful reentry and reduce recidivism. In addition, the Act directed 

BOP to provide incentives, such as increased time in community 

corrections, to encourage prisoners to fully participate in skills development programs. The Second Chance Act also makes clear that 

community corrections may include a period of home confinement 

for up to the shorter of 10 percent of an offender’s term of imprisonment or six months. 

BOP has indicated that decisions about length of stay in RRCs 

are influenced by a higher marginal cost of RRCs compared to the 

marginal cost of keeping a prisoner in a BOP facility. While the 

Committee appreciates the short term trade-offs involved in annual 

budgeting for RRCs, it believes that the increased use of RRCs and 

home confinement, when implemented as part of a comprehensive 

prisoner reentry program, can contribute to reduced recidivism, 

safer and more stable communities, and reduced costs for the Federal Prison System. The Committee strongly urges the Department 

to propose significant additional funding in the fiscal year 2011 

budget submission to increase the use of RRCs as part of a comprehensive prisoner reentry program. 

In addition, given that home confinement—with appropriate supervision and services—is significantly less costly than either confinement in BOP facilities or RRCs, BOP should make appropriate 

use of this option when considering how to provide reentering prisoners with up to 12 months in community corrections. The Committee directs BOP to report quarterly on the average length of 

stay in community corrections, defined as both RRCs and home 

confinement. 

Critical to prisoner reentry and recidivism reduction are substance abuse, mental health, educational, vocational, and other 

services provided in prisons or during confinement in community 

corrections. Substance abuse treatment is particularly essential because 40 percent of inmates enter the Federal Prison System with 

a substance abuse disorder. Within the amount provided for salaries and expenses, not less than $90,000,000 is made available for 

drug abuse treatment services for all eligible inmates as required 

by law, and not less than $150,000,000 is made available for inmate education and vocational training programs. 

To the greatest extent possible, BOP shall prioritize the participation of nonviolent offenders in the Residential Drug Abuse Treatment Program (RDAP) in a way that maximizes the benefit of sentence reduction opportunities for reducing the prisoner population. 

In addition, as part of its RDAP, the Committee encourages BOP 

to conduct a pilot initiative on the use of anti-craving medications 

as a component of drug abuse treatment. Such an initiative should 


rfrederick on PROD1PC67 with HEARING
72 

continue the use of anti-craving medications through an offender’s 

period of confinement in community corrections and period of supervised release. The Committee encourages BOP to collaborate on 

this initiative with the National Institute of Drug Abuse, which is 

currently supporting a research study on the effectiveness of anticraving medication on probationers and parolees. 

As part of its portion of the Department’s fiscal year 2010 spending plan, BOP shall include a description of all of its activities related to Second Chance Act implementation, including inmate drug 

abuse treatment programs, inmate education and vocational training programs, and all other program services designed to facilitate 

offender reentry, along with the estimated costs associated with 

those activities in fiscal year 2010. The Committee also directs 

BOP to include, as part of the Department’s fiscal year 2011 budget 

submission, the estimated costs of full implementation of each of its 

programs and activities related to offender reentry in fiscal year 

2011. 

In addition, to ensure that BOP is benefiting from outside expertise and viewpoints, the Committee directs BOP to convene an 

independent panel to make recommendations for future options for 

the development of prisoner reentry programs, including options related to the role of faith-based and community programs. The Committee expects the report of this panel to be submitted with the Department’s fiscal year 2010 spending plan. 

The Committee also directs GAO to evaluate BOP’s implementation of Second Chance Act requirements, including the adequacy of 

funding proposals by the Department to carry out those requirements, and to provide recommendations to the Committee by 

March 1, 2010, on how BOP should adapt its facilities, programs, 

and budgeting processes to fully implement the provisions of the 

Act that apply to BOP. 

Counterterrorism activities.—Within the amount provided in this account, not less than $14,200,000 is for the full estimated cost of 

BOP’s counterterrorism activities, including monitoring and translating the communications of incarcerated terrorists and disseminating information to law enforcement agencies, as appropriate. 

These activities have been partially funded through supplemental 

appropriations in previous fiscal years. 

Reimbursement for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement 

(ICE) detainees.—The Committee directs BOP to work cooperatively with the Department of Homeland Security to transfer expeditiously the estimated 850 ICE detainees who are currently 

housed in the Federal Prison System, or to obtain prompt and fair 

reimbursement from ICE for the costs of incarcerating them. 

National Institute of Corrections (NIC).—The NIC provides valuable training and services, including research and evaluation, technical assistance, information sharing and planning to State and 

local adult corrections agencies, the BOP and other Federal agencies. To address deficiencies identified by the U.S. Census Bureau 

in the reporting of inmate address information, the Committee encourages the NIC to work with State corrections agencies to develop better procedures and systems for collecting and maintaining 

corrections records. 

Stun lethal fences.—The Committee notes that BOP correctional 

officers have expressed concerns about the use of ‘‘stun lethal’’ 


rfrederick on PROD1PC67 with HEARING
73 

fences at BOP facilities in lieu of correctional officers in perimeter 

towers. BOP is directed to submit a report to the Committee, within 60 days of enactment of this Act, on the reliability and effectiveness of these fences. 

Privately-contracted prison facilities.—Based on cost data provided by BOP, the cost of contracting with private sector companies 

for the use and operation of low security prison facilities appears 

to cost more than operating BOP low security facilities when discounting BOP’s cost of inmate programming, which is not provided 

in most private facilities. The Committee directs BOP to submit a 

report, by March 1, 2010, on its long term strategy for minimizing 

the cost of incarcerating low security criminal alien offenders, including an assessment of the potential for closed military facilities 

to be converted to low security prisons operated by BOP. 

BUILDINGS AND FACILITIES

Bill compared with: 

Fiscal Year 2009 enacted ............................................................ ¥479,063,000 

Fiscal Year 2010 request ............................................................ ............................

The Committee recommends $96,744,000 for the construction, 

modernization, maintenance, and repair of prison and detention facilities housing Federal inmates, which is $479,063,000 below the 

fiscal year 2009 enacted level and equal to the request. Of the 

total, no less than $71,358,000 is for modernization and repair 

(M&R) activities. 

Modernization and repair.—The Committee is extremely concerned about the growing backlog of health and safety repairs in 

Federal prison facilities. Thirty-four (one-third) of BOP’s 114 institutions are more than 50 years old, and most have not undergone 

major renovations since they were constructed or acquired by BOP. 

In addition, the BOP has a backlog of major modernization and repair (M&R) projects valued at nearly $300,000,000. BOP’s budget 

justification indicates that it ‘‘strives to follow’’ the Federal Facilities Council recommendation of budgeting annually for M&R needs 

equal to two percent of the asset value of its facilities, which in the 

case of BOP facilities totals more than $400,000,000. Unfortunately, the Department has proposed only $71,358,000 for M&R activities in fiscal year 2010. BOP is directed to provide a report to 

the Committee, within 30 days of enactment of this Act, itemizing 

all pending M&R projects for Federal prison facilities, specifying 

when each project was first identified, and estimating the cost associated with each project. The Committee also directs BOP to provide an updated M&R backlog list as part of its fiscal year 2011 

budget request. 

Construction.—The BOP budget proposes $25,386,000 for con- struction-related activities, including $10,000,000 required for lease 

payments for the Oklahoma Transfer Center. Although BOP plans 

to activate four new prisons in 2014, it will be unable to maintain 

that schedule without a significant new construction appropriation 

by fiscal year 2011. The Committee notes, however, that even if 

BOP stays on track in activating planned new prisons, it will add 

approximately 13,000 new beds between 2010 and 2014 at the 

same time that the BOP population is expected to grow by 22,500. 


rfrederick on PROD1PC67 with HEARING
74 

The Committee expects the Department to ensure that the fiscal 

year 2011 budget proposal for BOP contains sufficient resources for 

BOP to at least stay on track with its current plan to activate new 

prisons, and for BOP to address its M&R backlog.

Bill compared with: 

Fiscal Year 2009 enacted ............................................................ +372,000 

Fiscal Year 2010 request ............................................................ ............................

Created by Federal statute in 1934, Federal Prison Industries 

(FPI) operates as a wholly-owned, self-sustaining Government corporation. FPI employs and provides skills training to Federal inmates. 

The Committee recommends a limitation on administrative expenses of $2,700,000 for FPI, which is $372,000 above the fiscal 

year 2009 enacted level and equal to the request. In testimony before the Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice, Science and Related 

Agencies, the BOP Director stated that FPI is the BOP’s most important correctional program because it has been proven to substantially reduce recidivism and it is self-funded from the proceeds 

of sales. In addition, it keeps prisoners productively occupied, making them substantially less likely to engage in misconduct. The 

Committee is concerned that the percentage of BOP’s inmate population involved with FPI has decreased 30 percent from just six 

years ago. The Committee urges the Department to explore new 

program models, and to seek new funding and authorities, as necessary, to create additional inmate work and training programs 

that prepare inmates for successful reentry into the community. 

The Department shall submit, within 60 days after the enactment 

of this Act, a plan describing such options for increasing inmate 

work opportunities. 

STATE AND LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT ACTIVITIES

In total, the bill provides $3,423,988,000 for State and local law 

enforcement and crime prevention grant programs, which is 

$196,888,000 more than the fiscal year 2009 funding level and 

$670,500,000 above the budget request. The Committee directs the 

Department to work closely with recipients of congressionally-designated funding to ensure that funded projects are consistent with 

authorized criminal justice purposes and goals. No grant funding 

shall be used for luxury items, real estate, or construction projects.

fiscal year 2009 that are administered by the Office of Justice Programs (OJP). For fiscal year 2010, funding 

for each of these OJP-administered programs is appropriated directly to OJP at the fiscal year 2009 level. 

The Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) coordinates legislative and other initiatives relating to violence against women and 

administers grant programs to help prevent, detect, and stop violence against women, including domestic and dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking. A number of programs that received 

funding through this appropriation in fiscal year 2009 are funded 

in this bill through the Office of Justice Programs (OJP) appropriation because they are administered by OJP. These include: the 

CASA Special Advocates program; the Training for Judicial Personnel program; the Stalking Database program; the Research on 

Violence Against Women program; Training Programs to Assist 

Probation and Parole Officers; and the Closed Circuit Television 

program. The Committee recommends funding through OJP for 

each of these programs at the fiscal year 2009 level. For grants and 

programs administered directly by OVW, the Committee recommends $400,000,000 in fiscal year 2010, $11,000,000 above the 

comparable budget request and the comparable fiscal year 2009 

level. 

The Committee directs OVW, as part of the Department’s spending plan for fiscal year 2010, to provide details on OVW’s planned 

training and technical assistance (T&TA) activities and research 

and statistics activities. The spending plan shall differentiate those 

activities performed via grant, cooperative agreement, interagency 

agreement, under contract, and performed directly by OVW. In addition, the Committee directs the Department, as part of the fiscal 

year 2011 budget submission, to provide similar details on OVW’s 

planned T&TA activities and research and statistics activities for 

fiscal year 2011. 

The funding requested through OVW for the Safe Start program 

is not provided through OVW because Safe Start is administered 

by the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, within the Office of Justice Programs. The Committee instead recommends funding for Safe Start through the Juvenile Justice appropriation.

and encourage the development and improvement of related law 

enforcement and prosecution strategies. Within the funding provided, $3,000,000 is made available to the National Institute of 

Justice for research and evaluation of programs to prevent violence 

against women and $18,000,000 is available for transitional housing assistance. An additional $225,000,000 was appropriated for

on campuses. 

Civil legal assistance.—The Committee recommendation provides 

$37,000,000 to increase the availability of legal assistance necessary to provide effective aid to victims of domestic violence, stalking, sexual assault, or dating violence who are seeking relief in 

legal matters arising as a consequence of that abuse or violence. 

This amount is equal to the fiscal year 2009 level and the request. 

Sexual assault victims services.—The Committee recommendation provides $13,000,000, which is $1,000,000 above the fiscal year 

2009 level and the request, to assist state coalitions in coordinating

OFFICE OF JUSTICE PROGRAMS

The Office of Justice Programs (OJP) was established to provide 

Federal leadership, coordination, and assistance to make the Nation’s justice system more efficient and effective in preventing and 

responding to crime. OJP is responsible for administering grants; 

collecting statistical data and conducting analyses; identifying 

emerging criminal justice issues; developing and testing promising 

approaches to address these issues; evaluating program results; 

and disseminating these findings and other information to State, 

tribal, and local governments. 

The Committee recommends $2,221,988,000 for the Office of Justice Programs, which is $643,500,000 above the budget request and 

$155,388,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted level. 

The Committee directs OJP, as part of the Department’s spending plan for fiscal year 2010, to provide details of its planned training and technical assistance (T&TA) activities and research and 

statistics activities. The spending plan shall differentiate those activities performed via grant, cooperative agreement, interagency 

agreement, under contract, and performed directly by OJP. In addition, the Committee directs the Department, as part of the fiscal 

year 2011 budget submission, to provide details of OJP’s planned 

T&TA activities and research and statistics activities for fiscal year 

2011. 

Evidence-based programs.—The Committee urges OJP to ensure, 

to the greatest extent practicable, that competitive grants are used 

for evidence-based programs and activities. 

Services for victims of rape.—The Committee is aware that an estimated one in six women in the United States will experience a 

sexual assault in her lifetime, and that the Federal Bureau of Investigation ranks rape as the second most violent crime, second 

only to murder. The Department of Justice is encouraged to continue supporting programs, including hotline programs, which facilitate the delivery of confidential recovery services to rape victims.

$48,000,000 in direct funding for the NIJ, which is equal to the 

budget request and the fiscal year 2009 level. NIJ is the primary 

Federal source of research and development in the field of criminal 

justice. 

National crime victimization survey (NCVS).—Within the funds 

provided for the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS), the Committee 

directs $26,000,000, as requested, for the NCVS, which since the 

1970s has been a critical tool for understanding the costs and context of crime victimization in the United States. Also within the 

funds provided, the Committee makes available the requested 


rfrederick on PROD1PC67 with HEARING
80 

$15,000,000 to implement and test the redesign of the methodology 

for the NCVS. The redesign of the NCVS methodology was recommended in the National Research Council’s report, Surveying 

Victims: Options for Conducting the National Crime Victimization 

Survey, and BJS is currently conducting a program of research to 

develop the new methodology. The redesigned survey is intended to 

provide better sub-national data and more concurrent information 

on emerging trends and issues, and to improve the cost efficiency 

of the data collection process. 

Victim notification.—The Committee includes $12,000,000 to support the Statewide Automated Victim Information Notification 

(SAVIN) program, which helps protect the legal rights of crime victims by providing registered victims with timely and accurate information about changes to the status of their offender, including information about offender relocation and release. 

Regional information sharing.—The Committee recommends 

$45,000,000 for regional information sharing to ensure the efficient 

and effective automated exchange of crime and terrorism information among Federal, State, and local agencies. The recommendation 

is equal to the fiscal year 2009 enacted level and the request. 

Missing and exploited children.—The recommendation includes 

$61,000,000 for the Missing and Exploited Children program, 

$1,000,000 above the budget request, which is sufficient to provide 

continued level funding for all ongoing programs funded in fiscal 

year 2009. An additional $50,000,000 was provided for the Internet 

Crimes Against Children Regional Task Force program as part of 

the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, P.L. 111–5. 

Hate crimes.—The Committee directs the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) to assess the feasibility and associated costs of establishing a national helpline for victims of hate crimes. In addition, the Committee directs NIJ to evaluate trends in hate crimes 

against new immigrants, individuals who are perceived to be immigrants, and Hispanic-Americans, and to assess the underlying 

causes behind any increase in hate crimes against such groups. 

Forensic science.—The National Research Council report, 

Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States: A Path Forward, called for improving the scientific foundations of the forensic 

disciplines, particularly those that are dependent on qualitative 

analyses and expert interpretation of observed patterns. The Committee is aware that NIJ has initiated efforts to respond to the National Research Council’s recommendations, and urges NIJ to continue and accelerate those efforts. 

Collaboration among state corrections, alcohol and drug abuse, 

and mental health program directors.—The Committee is aware 

that the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) has worked with the 

Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration 

(SAMHSA) to support collaboration among the Association of State 

Corrections Administrators (ASCA), the National Association of 

State Alcohol and Drug Abuse Directors (NASADAD), and the National Association of State Mental Health Program Directors 

(NASMHPD), and encourages BJA to continue efforts to foster such 

collaboration. 

Threat assessment for state courts.—The Committee is concerned 

about reports of a rising trend in violence and threats of violence 

against State courts and court officials. Within the funds provided, 


rfrederick on PROD1PC67 with HEARING
81 

the Committee encourages BJA to support efforts to establish and 

maintain threat assessment databases, based on core data elements determined by BJA that facilitate the collection of uniform 

data. 

Salaries and expenses.—The Committee provides management 

and administration funding for Justice Assistance programs 

through a salaries and expenses appropriation under OJP. As a result, no administrative overhead costs shall be deducted from the 

programs funded from this account.

Program Recommended 

Total ....................................................................................................................................................... 1,312,500 

Edward Byrne memorial justice assistance grant program.—The 

Committee recommends $529,000,000 for activities under the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) program. 

When excluding one-time fiscal year 2009 costs for reimbursement 

of State and local governments for security and other expenses related to the presidential transition and inauguration, the funding 

level for this account is $10,000,000 above the fiscal year 2009 level 

and the request. When excluding $10,000,000 made available in fiscal year 2010 for recidivism reduction activities, funding for ByrneJAG formula grants in fiscal year 2010 is equal to the fiscal year 

2009 level. An additional $2,000,000,000 was provided for this program as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 

2009, P.L. 111–5. 

Funding under this program is authorized for law enforcement 

programs; prosecution and court programs; prevention and education programs; corrections programs, including community corrections; drug treatment and enforcement programs; planning, 

evaluation, and technology improvement programs; and crime victim and witness programs, other than compensation. Funding is 

not available for luxury items, real estate, or construction projects. 

Within the amount provided, $2,000,000 is for intelligence training for State and local law enforcement entities; $5,000,000 is for 

the National Institute of Justice to help local units of government 

identify, select, develop, modernize, and purchase new technologies 

for use by law enforcement; and $10,000,000 is for technical assistance, incentive grants, and other activities in support of comprehensive, evidenced-based criminal justice reform and recidivism 

reduction efforts by States. 

The Committee believes that JAG funding should be targeted by 

State and local governments to programs and activities that are in 

conformance with a state-wide, evidenced-based strategic plan developed through broad stakeholder involvement. The Committee 

strongly urges State Administering Agencies (SAAs) to develop or 

update existing, statewide plans as soon as practicable and to submit those plans to the Attorney General for review. The Attorney 

General shall work with States to complete such plans as soon as 

reasonable and shall make technical assistance available to assist 

States in constructing such plans. 

Byrne discretionary grants.—The Committee provides $124,000,000 for Byrne discretionary grants to prevent crime, improve the criminal justice system, provide victims’ services, and for 

other similar activities. The accompanying table details funding for 

congressionally-designated activities, which are incorporated by reference in the bill:

Byrne competitive grants.—The Committee recommendation includes $40,000,000 for competitive, peer-reviewed grants to programs of national significance to prevent crime, improve the administration of justice or assist victims of crime. An additional 

$225,000,000 was provided for this program as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, P.L. 111–5. As part 

of its portion of the Department’s spending plan, OJP is directed 

to detail the criteria and methodology that will be used to award 

grants. It is expected that national programs that have previously 

received funding under the Byrne discretionary program and programs for which specific funding is designated in this Act will be 

eligible to compete for funding under this competitive grant program. 

Tribal assistance.—The Committee strongly supports efforts to 

help Tribes improve the capacity of their criminal justice systems. 

The Committee recommendation includes $47,000,000 for Tribal 

Assistance, which is $22,000,000 above the fiscal year 2009 level 

and the request. Of the total, $10,000,000 is for tribal detention facilities, $25,000,000 is for tribal courts, and $12,000,000 is for alcohol and substance abuse grants. An additional $225,000,000 was 

provided for tribal detention facilities as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, P.L. 111–5. Separate funding 

for tribal law enforcement activities is provided through the Office 

of Community Oriented Policing. 

The Committee directs OJP to coordinate with the Bureau of Indian Affairs in the Department of the Interior in developing a priority list for detention facility construction, targeting tribal areas 

with the greatest need, and to incorporate the priority system into 

the ranking criteria for grants. The Committee also directs OJP to 

develop a voluntary annual training program for tribal court officials and judges to promote improvements in tribal judicial systems. 

State criminal alien assistance program (SCAAP).—The Committee recommends $300,000,000 for reimbursement to States and 

localities for their costs for incarcerating criminal aliens, a decrease 

of $100,000,000 below the fiscal year 2009 level. The Administration proposed the elimination of the program. 

Southwest border prosecutions.—The Committee recommends 

$30,000,000, equal to the fiscal year 2009 level and the budget request, to provide assistance to State and local law enforcement (including prosecutors, probation officers, courts, and detention facilities) along the southwest border related to the investigation and 

prosecution of drug and alien cases referred from Federal arrests. 

Victims of trafficking.—The Committee recommendation includes 

$10,000,000 for task force activities and services related to victims 

of human trafficking. The Committee is aware that the Office for 

Victims of Crime is considering a solicitation for demonstration 

grants to target minor victims of human trafficking that are resident aliens or U.S. citizens. The Committee strongly supports this 

initiative and encourages OVC to move forward with the proposed 

solicitation. 

Residential substance abuse treatment.—The Committee recommendation includes $30,000,000 for State prison substance 

abuse treatment programs, an increase of $20,000,000 above the 

fiscal year 2009 level and equal to the request. This program helps 


rfrederick on PROD1PC67 with HEARING
94 

State and local governments develop, implement, and improve residential substance abuse treatment programs in correctional facilities, and establish and maintain community-based aftercare services for probationers and parolees. 

Mentally Ill Offender Act.—Mentally Ill Offender Act funding 

helps State and local governments design and implement programs, including mental health courts, that improve the response 

of the criminal justice system to offenders with mental illness. The 

Department proposed a combined appropriation of $59,000,000 for 

drug, mental health, and problem solving courts, while proposing 

the elimination of separate funding for drug courts and for activities under the Mentally Ill Offender Act. Because the Mentally Ill 

Offender Act supports activities other than mental health courts, 

the Committee continues to provide a separate appropriation for 

activities under the Act. The Committee recommendation includes 

$12,000,000 for Mentally Ill Offender Act activities for fiscal year 

2010, an increase of $2,000,000 above the fiscal year 2009 level. 

Drug courts.—The Committee strongly supports drug courts, 

which serve a vital role in the Nation’s justice system. By providing 

alternatives to the prosecution and incarceration of offenders with 

substance abuse problems, drug courts help rebuild lives, support 

families, and reduce recidivism and the costs of incarceration. The 

Committee continues to provide a separate appropriation for drug 

courts, recommending $45,000,000 for the program for fiscal year 

2010, an increase of $5,000,000 above the fiscal year 2009 level. To 

facilitate the use of State clinical treatment standards, discourage 

system fragmentation, promote sustainability, and encourage the 

use of common client level performance and outcomes data, the 

Committee strongly encourages collaboration between drug courts 

and State agencies that oversee substance abuse prevention and 

treatment services. 

Hal Rogers prescription drug monitoring program.—The Committee includes $7,000,000, equal to the fiscal year 2009 level and 

the request, for the Prescription Drug Monitoring Program. This 

program assists States in developing systems to monitor prescription drugs and scheduled listed chemical products on either an 

intra-state or inter-state basis. The Committee expects OJP to continue working with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to 

implement this program. 

Prison rape prevention and prosecution.—The Committee provides $15,000,000 for grants to prevent, respond to and prosecute 

prison rape, including training, education and services to victims. 

The recommended funding level is an increase of $2,500,000 above 

the fiscal year 2009 level and the Administration request. 

Justice for all.—The Committee recommendation includes 

$5,500,000 for capital litigation/wrongful conviction review grants, 

equal to the fiscal year 2009 level, and equal to the level proposed 

by the Department for capital litigation grants. Of the amount provided, $2,500,000 is made available for capital litigation grants, 

which improve the quality of representation and the reliability of 

verdicts in local and state capital cases through training for prosecutors, defense counsel and trial judges. Also within the amount 

provided, $3,000,000 is for competitive grants to public and nonprofit entities that work to exonerate individuals who have been 

wrongfully convicted.

95 

Missing Alzheimer’s disease patient program.—The Committee 

recommendation includes $2,000,000 for Missing Alzheimer’s Disease Patient Program grants, equal to the fiscal year 2009 level. 

The Department proposed no funding for this program. 

Economic, high-tech and cybercrime prevention.—The Committee 

recommendation includes $20,000,000, an increase of $2,000,000 

above the fiscal year 2009 level, for competitive grants to State and 

local law enforcement agencies as authorized by the Prioritizing 

Resources and Organization for Intellectual Property Act of 2008, 

P.L. 110–403. The Administration proposed no funding for this program. 

CASA–special advocates.—CASA supports programs designed to 

ensure that abused and neglected children benefit from timely and 

effective representation in dependency court hearings. For fiscal

As part of its portion of the departmental spending plan, OJJDP 

is directed to detail the criteria and methodology that will be used 

to award these grants. It is expected that national programs that

Mental health services for youth in foster care.—The Committee 

recognizes the importance of improving the quality of mental 

health services for youth in foster care or who have been adopted 

from foster care, and encourages OJJDP to work with the Administration for Children and Families at the Department of Health and 

Human Services and non-profit organization with expertise on the 

mental health needs of such children when developing and implementing related programs.

Methamphetamine enforcement and clean-up.—The production, 

trafficking, and abuse of methamphetamine—an extremely destructive and addictive drug—continues to be a serious national problem. The Committee recommends $32,000,000 for activities to address public safety and methamphetamine manufacturing, sale, 

and use in ‘‘hot spots.’’ Within the funds provided, the Committee 

includes $10,000,000 for transfer to the Drug Enforcement Administration to assist State, local and tribal law enforcement agencies 

with the proper removal and disposal of hazardous materials at 

clandestine methamphetamine labs, including funds for training, 

technical assistance, a container program, and purchase of equipment.

DNA analysis grants.—The Committee recommends $151,000,000 

for grants to strengthen State and local government DNA collection 

and analysis systems, which can be vital to successfully prosecuting the guilty and protecting the innocent from wrongful conviction. This funding level is equal to the request and $5,000,000 

below the fiscal year 2009 enacted level. Within the funds provided, 

$146,000,000 is for Debbie Smith DNA backlog reduction grants, 

and $5,000,000 is for post-conviction DNA testing grants. 

Second Chance Act programs.—The Committee strongly supports 

efforts to improve and strengthen programs that facilitate the successful reentry of prisoners into communities following incarceration. The Commerce, Justice, Science and Related Agencies Subcommittee conducted a series of hearings on effective prisoner reentry programs and the state of research on ‘‘what works’’ for prisoner reentry. The lessons learned from those hearings are that investments in prisoner reentry program demonstrations and research are critical to making prisoner reentry more successful and 

reducing the rate of recidivism, and that successful prisoner reentry can significantly reduce the personal, social and economic 

costs associated with crime and incarceration. The hearings also 

made clear that, in order to have a significant impact on reducing 

recidivism, prisoner reentry efforts must be coordinated at the 

State level, based on comprehensive plans developed through input 

from a broad array of stakeholders. The Committee recommends $100,000,000 for activities authorized under the Second Chance Act of 2007 (P.L. 110–199) to reduce 

criminal recidivism, which is $75,000,000 above the fiscal year 

2009 enacted level and equal to the request. The Committee 

strongly urges the Attorney General to establish the Interagency 

Task Force on Federal Programs and Activities Relating to the Reentry of Offenders into the Community, as envisioned by the Second Chance Act. The Committee includes bill language authorizing 

the Attorney General to waive the matching requirements for Adult 

and Juvenile Reentry Demonstration Projects grants awarded in 

fiscal year 2010. 

Tribal law enforcement.—The Committee provides $40,000,000 

for the hiring, equipping, and training of tribal law enforcement officers, $20,000,000 above the fiscal year 2009 level and the request. 

The Committee provides additional funding for Tribes through the 

State and Local Law Enforcement Assistance appropriation under 

the Office of Justice Programs (OJP). 

Child sexual predator elimination/sex offender management.— 

The Committee provides $28,000,000 for assistance to State, tribal, 

and local law enforcement to locate, arrest, and prosecute child sexual predators and exploiters, and to enforce sex offender registration laws. Of the total, $1,000,000 is for the National Sex Offender 

Public Registry and $15,000,000 is for sex offender management 

assistance (SOMA). The increase of $10,000,000 above the fiscal 

year 2009 enacted level for SOMA activities is intended for assistance to tribal and other law enforcement entities with the greatest 

need for such assistance.

Integrity Initiative, which is an increase of $10,000,000 above the 

fiscal year 2009 enacted level and $2,000,000 below the request. 

Salaries and Expenses.—As in fiscal year 2009, the Committee 

provides management and administration funding for the Office of 

Community Oriented Policing Services through a salaries and expenses appropriation under OJP. As a result, no administrative 

overhead costs shall be deducted from the programs funded from 

this account. 

Reprogramming of prior year funds.—Funds appropriated in 

Public Law 111–8, Division B—Commerce, Justice, Science, and 

Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2009, under the heading Department of Justice, Community Oriented Policing Services, Methamphetamine Enforcement and Clean-up, to the Blount, Dekalb,

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)—are 

funded in title I of this bill. Science and engineering also are of increasing importance in law enforcement and commercial activity. 

In total, the bill provides $30,571,851,000 in science and technology 

investments, an increase of $1,049,255,000 over the fiscal year 

2009 enacted level.

ering Storm report of the National Academy of Sciences, the Congress passed the America Competes Act recognizing the need to 

double the budgets for NSF, NIST, and the Department of Energy 

Office of Science. This year in testimony before this Committee, 

leaders from the science and engineering communities made clear 

that NASA science and NOAA research merit similar increases. Accordingly, increases are recommended over the fiscal year 2009 enacted level for research at NSF, NIST, NASA, and NOAA—with increases above the requests for NOAA research and select areas of 

NASA. 

The challenge of anthropogenic climate change confronts the Nation today. Increased research through the programs of NOAA is 

needed to strengthen the foundation for NOAA’s leadership role in 

climate, and the Earth Science program within NASA plays a critical role in support of NOAA in developing and demonstrating new 

modeling, analysis and measurement techniques while contributing 

to the overall climate change science program. 

In testimony before this Committee, Dr. Lennard Fisk, former 

NASA Associate Administrator for Space Science and Applications, 

stated that the termination of NASA funding for microgravity research—research that can only be done in orbit—has devastated 

this area of research in the United States. Given the substantial 

investment in the International Space Station where much of this 

research would take place, funding is recommended to resurrect 

this research program within funds to be appropriated to NASA. 

In testimony before the Committee on science education, it was 

stated that most children decide to be interested in pursuing 

science, engineering or math by age 10 or so. Inspiring interest in 

young minds requires them to have opportunities to come in contact with research and engineering, to take measurements and 

think creatively and analytically in a scientific fashion and to gain 

a sense of wonder at the physical and intellectual adventure involved and the contributions science and engineering make in today’s world. Accordingly, increases above the budget request are included to strengthen NSF, NOAA and NASA education programs.

The Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) is essential 

to the restoration of science to its proper place in the formulation 

of policy and the operations of the federal government. The Committee recommendation is $1,851,000 above the amount appropriated for fiscal year 2009 and $1,000,000 above the budget request. This increase is provided to ensure that OSTP has adequate 

staff to fulfill key requirements in the coming year. 

OSTP is directed to develop a plan for achieving and sustaining 

global Earth observations in collaboration with NOAA, NSF, 

NASA, USGS, the Department of Energy and other appropriate

agencies and in consultation with the Earth science community, 

and to direct implementation of this Earth observations plan as 

called for in the National Academy of Sciences report Earth Science 

and Applications from Space: National Imperatives for the Next 

Decade and Beyond. This plan should include satellite, suborbital, 

ground- and ocean-based observations and be delivered to the Committees on Appropriations of the House and Senate no later than 

April 1, 2010. 

The Committee anticipates that OSTP will need to provide leadership and active coordination on hydrology research and water resources, understanding terrestrial managed and unmanaged ecosystems and their role in climate change, nanotechnology, including its societal dimensions, and science, technology, engineering 

and mathematics (STEM) education. Each of these areas involves 

significant activities of multiple departments and agencies. 

NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was 

established by the National Aeronautics and Space Act of 1958, as 

amended, to: 

(1) plan, direct and conduct aeronautical and space activities; 

(2) arrange for participation by the scientific community in 

planning scientific measurements and observations to be made 

through use of aeronautical and space vehicles, and conduct or 

arrange for the conduct of such measurements and observations; 

(3) provide for the widest practicable and appropriate dissemination of information concerning its activities and the results thereof; 

(4) seek and encourage, to the maximum extent possible, the 

fullest commercial use of space; 

(5) encourage and provide the Federal government use of 

commercially provided space services and hardware, consistent 

with the requirements of the Federal government; and 

(6) carry out a comprehensive program of research, technology, and monitoring of the phenomena of upper atmosphere 

as to provide for an understanding of and to maintain the 

chemical and physical integrity of the Earth’s atmosphere. 

The Act calls on NASA to expand human knowledge; develop and 

operate advanced aeronautical and space-faring vehicles; encourage 

commercial use of space; exchange with other U.S. agencies findings useful to each other to maximize research results; cooperate 

with other nations in research and applications; and preserve U.S. 

preeminence in aeronautics and space. NASA’s unique mission is 

to pioneer the future in space exploration, scientific discovery and 

aeronautics research. 

Programs and activities undertaken by NASA were last authorized in fiscal year 2009. An authorization for fiscal year 2010 is not 

yet enacted. 

Investments in NASA.—Properly structured, NASA’s programs 

can contribute to an improved quality of life, economic vitality, U.S. 

leadership in peaceful cooperation with other nations on challenging undertakings in science and technology, national security 

and the advancement of knowledge. Investments in NASA’s programs promote research and development and support the competiVerDate Nov 24 2008 06:11 Jun 13, 2009 Jkt 050267 PO 00000 Frm 00131 Fmt 6659 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\HR149.XXX HR149

tiveness of the United States. For 50 years, the investments in 

NASA have facilitated the transfer of NASA technology to the private sector, benefiting global competition and the economy. The resulting commercialization has contributed to the development of 

commercial products and services in the fields of health and medicine, industry, consumer goods, transportation, public safety, computer technology, and environmental resources. In addition, 

NASA’s view from space brings science to bear on national priorities like improved predictions of climate, weather and natural hazards, which have corresponding implications for commerce and the 

human condition. 

Moreover, as noted previously in this report, Dr. Ralph Cicerone 

and Dr. Lennard Fisk both stated in testimony before the Subcommittee that NASA’s science activities are not markedly different or less important than other science disciplines funded by 

the NSF and NIST, and that there was little reason for their exclusion from the doubling path envisioned for those agencies in the 

America Competes Act. The Committee’s recommendation reflects 

this sentiment and continues to invest in NASA’s science activities. 

AGENCY SUMMARY

The Committee recommendation includes $18,203,300 for NASA, 

$482,700,000 below the request and $420,915,000 above the comparable fiscal year 2009 enacted level. Funding included in this Act 

provides for continued efforts to fly the Shuttle as safely as possible 

until its retirement in 2010; to complete the international space 

station; continue to advance human space flight activities; to advance knowledge in the fundamental disciplines of aeronautics and 

develop technologies for safer aircraft and higher capacity traffic 

air systems; to further understanding of Earth, its climate and 

global environment, the connections among the other planets and 

the Sun, and the origin and evolution of planetary systems and the 

origin and distribution of life in the universe; and to inspire and 

educate students at all levels to pursue careers in the fields of 

science, technology, engineering and mathematics. 

NASA’s appropriations are now arrayed in multiple appropriations accounts rather than in three accounts as in previous years. 

Beginning in fiscal year 2009, budgets for NASA’s programs and 

projects are requested and appropriated only in terms of direct 

cost, and not the additional indirect costs associated with operating 

NASA’s centers, safety and mission success, and Agency management and operations. The direct budgets continue to reflect labor 

and travel costs associated with each program and project. The indirect costs are now budgeted solely within the Cross Agency Support account, and not in NASA’s programs and projects. This 

change was the result of the Committee’s continuing endeavors to 

provide greater transparency to NASA’s stakeholders and improve 

program estimates, costs, review and oversight. The Committee 

continues these efforts as is evidenced in the recommendations 

herein. 

Financial management.—The Committee remains concerned 

about NASA’s management of its budget, as well as its financial 

recordkeeping and reporting. Fiscal year 2002 was the last year 

NASA was able to produce an annual financial statement that 

could be audited by its independent accountants. For fiscal years 


rfrederick on PROD1PC67 with HEARING
133 

2003 through 2008, the accountants were unable to find sufficient 

evidentiary support for amounts presented in NASA’s financial 

statements, including the combined statements of budgetary resources—which are supposed to present accurate budget execution 

data. Recent reports by Committee staff have found additional disquieting evidence concerning NASA’s financial management. As 

discussed in the explanatory statement accompanying the 2009 

Omnibus Appropriations Act, a review of NASA’s leasing and collections authority found that NASA’s implementation of the authority lacked transparency and that NASA was not effectively managing and accounting for leasing receipts. An April 2009 report by 

the staff found that NASA was improperly administering its authority to convert funds for construction projects to no-year availability by apportioning these funds as no-year dollars before initial 

obligations on construction projects, ignoring provisions in law that 

the conversion be preceded by an initial obligation. The report also 

found that the amount allocated to construction in NASA’s annual 

operating plans often substantially exceeds the amount justified in 

NASA’s budget estimates. Many of the construction projects included in the operating plans, but not the budget estimates, are of 

such scale that NASA clearly must have been aware of the projects 

at the time it formulated its estimates. A second April 2009 report 

found that, although NASA has improved its obligation rate in response to the Committee’s concerns, many NASA programs did not 

match this obligation rate with a commensurate improvement in 

accrual of costs and outlays. The report also found that NASA’s obligation rate may be overstated because of non-transparent reserve 

practices and because it deobligates and recovers significant 

amounts of prior year obligated balances. 

To address these issues, the Committee recommends several 

changes to NASA’s appropriation. The Committee recommendation: • consolidates all programmatic and institutional construction and environmental compliance and remediation activities 

into a new account, for which the period of availability would 

extend for five years; 

• subjects expenditures planned from the collection of enhanced use lease receipts to an annual appropriations limitation first enacted in fiscal year 2009; 

• limits funding for the Cross Agency Support and Inspector 

General accounts to be available for one year, reflecting the administrative nature of these accounts; 

• limits most funding in NASA’s operating accounts (Aeronautics Exploration, Science, and Space Operations) to oneyear, while providing an allowance of ten percent in each account as two-year funding, recognizing historical obligation 

data and that cutting edge aeronautics and space research and 

development involves an element of uncertainty; and 

• fully funds Center administrative activities in the consolidated Cross Agency Support account, realigning the remaining 

FTE currently being charged to programmatic accounts. 

Construction.—The Committee proposes establishment of a new 

construction account to fund all institutional and programmatic 

construction. As shown in the Committee’s review, the longstanding arrangement of funding construction within other accounts without specifying an amount for construction has resulted 


rfrederick on PROD1PC67 with HEARING
134 

in a lack of discipline in NASA’s planning for programmatic construction and a lack of transparency in presenting and justifying 

construction projects. The new account will fund discrete construction projects, minor revitalization and construction projects, facility 

planning and design, demolition, and environmental compliance 

and restoration. Appropriated funds shall be available for five 

years, as requested. 

Limitation on expenses associated with enhanced use lease receipts.—The Committee has continued a provision capping the expenditure of enhanced use lease (EUL) gross receipts and collections in fiscal year 2010 at $0 and requiring NASA to include a 

separate accounting for and justification of its EUL collections and 

proposed expenditures in its annual budget justification. The justification shall include a separate accounting by Center of gross receipts and collections and shall include a detailed presentation of 

all proposed expenditures by Center, to include but not limited to 

full-time equivalent (FTE) staff years and object class data, and 

justification for such proposed expenditures by project or activity. 

One-year availability for Cross Agency Support and Inspector 

General accounts.—The Committee proposes that funding for the 

cross agency support (CAS) and Office of Inspector General accounts be available for one-year, as opposed to two years provided 

in the 2009 Omnibus Appropriations Act. In the realigned NASA 

budget structure that was adopted in fiscal year 2009, these appropriations are primarily for administrative salaries and expenses activities. According to the object class table presented in the Appendix to the 2010 budget, fully one-third of the CAS account is for 

pay and benefits for Federal employees. Much of the balance of the 

account is for administrative functions, such as operation and 

maintenance of equipment and facilities. In fiscal year 2008, center 

management and operations and corporate general & administrative costs (then funded as overhead, but now in CAS) obligated all 

but $33,400,000 of $2,600,000,000 in new budget authority, an obligation rate of 99 percent. 

Limited two-year availability for NASA’s operating accounts.— 

The Committee proposes that most funding in NASA’s operating 

accounts (Aeronautics, Exploration, Science and Space Operations) 

be available for one year, with an allowance of 10 percent in each 

account as two-year funding. The Committee recognizes that cutting edge aeronautics and space research and development involves 

an element of uncertainty. Even with the best planning and management, unexpected technical and operational setbacks may force 

obligation delays. However, in 2008 NASA demonstrated an ability 

to obligate 95 percent or more of the new budget authority in the 

missions that are now included in the four operating accounts. 

Similarly, for the period 1998 through 2002, NASA’s carryover was 

consistently below six percent. From 2003 through 2007 NASA appears to have lost focus on financial management. In fiscal year 

2007, the obligation rate for some missions was as low as 81 to 82 

percent. Funding the operating accounts with primarily one-year 

funding will encourage NASA to maintain financial discipline. It 

will also encourage NASA to carefully examine its reserve and recovery practices, to ensure that obligated funds are in fact applied 

to accomplish the work for which they were appropriated. At the 

same time, the allowance of a reasonable amount for two-year 


rfrederick on PROD1PC67 with HEARING
135 

funding, together with the continued availability of transfer and reprogramming authority, will allow NASA to address unexpected developments. 

Administrative activities.—The realignment of NASA’s budget 

structure required by the fiscal year 2008 Omnibus Appropriations 

Act was intended to improve the transparency of NASA’s budget by 

separately funding programmatic and administrative activities. It 

was the Committee’s intent that the Cross Agency Support account 

fully fund Center administrative activities, including human resources, financial management, procurement, facilities operations, 

information technology services, and public affairs. As the 2009 

budget is being executed by NASA, it appears that significant numbers of Center FTE in these administrative areas are being charged 

to programmatic accounts. 

NASA’s Office of Program and Institutional Integration (OPPI) 

has developed Center Management and Operations ‘‘Content Definitions.’’ These definitions specify the core functions that all of 

NASA’s nine field Centers should provide to programs. The Committee directs that, for fiscal 2011, NASA realign the CAS budget 

to fully fund the Center administrative functions specified in 

OPPI’s content definitions, including all human resources, financial 

management, procurement, facilities operations, information technology services, and public affairs personnel. To the extent that 

NASA believes that this realignment requires transfer of funding 

from programmatic accounts, NASA’s budget estimate shall specify 

by mission, theme and program the amounts proposed to be transferred and the number and job series of FTE associated with these 

amounts. For fiscal year 2010, the Committee proposes to transfer 

these administrative FTE from the program accounts to Center 

management and operations within the CAS account, as follows: 

Realign SMD administrative activities to CAS ............................... ¥$24,266,000 

Realign ARMD administrative activities to CAS ............................. ¥5,982,000 

Realign ESMD administrative activities to CAS ............................. ¥33,457,000 

Realign SOMD administrative activities to CAS ............................. ¥33,771,000 

Realign EMD administrative activities to CAS ............................... ¥1,254,000 

Net adjustment to CAS ............................................................... +98,730,000 

Reporting of cost, schedule and content for NASA research and 

development projects.—To better understand the underlying issues 

common to NASA’s performance on major projects and to develop 

a process for identifying corrective action, the Fiscal Year 2008 

Consolidated Appropriations Act mandated the Government Accountability Office to report on the status of large-scale NASA programs, projects and activities. The Committee expects this report 

to be delivered to the Congress semiannually, the first of which 

was delivered in March 2009. The Committee anticipates this annual report in advance of the annual budget submission of the 

President. To that end, the Committee directs NASA to cooperate 

fully and to provide timely program analysis, evaluation data and 

relevant information to the GAO so that it can conduct this review 

and meet the annual Congressional mandate. Such information includes, but is not limited to, copies of preliminary cost estimates, 

access to relevant online agency applications, databases, and web 

portals, and access to information from contractor and agency personnel. 


rfrederick on PROD1PC67 with HEARING
136 

Breach reporting.—Pursuant to section 108 of Public Law 109– 

155, the NASA Authorization Act of 2005, NASA is required to deliver several reports to the appropriate authorizing committees 

when project costs grow in excess of certain thresholds. The Committee expects that NASA submit concurrently to the House and 

Senate Committees on Appropriations the reports required by section 108 of Public Law 109–155. 

Monthly reports.—To improve the usefulness of monthly reports 

on obligations and disbursements required by section 525(b) of the 

fiscal year 2008 Omnibus Appropriations Act, NASA is directed to 

include in the funding that it reports as available not only new 

budget authority, but also carryover and recoveries. Specifically, on 

November 20, 2009, and on the 15th business day of each month 

thereafter, the Administrator of NASA shall report in writing to 

the Committees on Appropriations of the House and Senate detailed financial information on the execution of the Administration’s budget for the preceding month and for the fiscal year to 

date. Each report shall provide information on the appropriation 

for the fiscal year, available carryover of prior year appropriations 

and recoveries of prior year obligated balances, obligations and cost 

incurred against, and outlays made from, the appropriation for the 

year and carryover and recoveries, presented by (1) appropriation 

account, (2) theme, (3) program or project, (4) Center, and (5) object 

class, as well as any other financial information requested by the 

Committees on Appropriations of the House and Senate. 

Reserves reporting.—NASA is directed to include in its budget 

justification the reserve assumed by NASA to be necessary within 

the amount proposed for each directorate, theme, program, project 

and activity, or, if the proposed funding level for a directorate, 

theme, program, project or activity is based on confidence level 

budgeting, the confidence level assumed in the proposed funding 

level. Maintaining a reserve during the course of a fiscal year may 

be prudent management. However, the recent staff report found 

that some programs maintain large reserves and that there is limited central oversight of program-level reserves. This directive 

seeks to encourage more consistency in reserve practices and provide for the oversight of the reasonableness of reserve assumptions 

during consideration of NASA’s budget. 

Reprogramming procedures.—As noted earlier in this report, the 

Committee continues to have a particular interest in being fully informed of reprogrammings which, although they may not change 

either the total amount available in an account or the general purposes for which the funds are available, represent a departure from 

the explicit budget plans presented within the annual congressional justifications and approved or modified by the House and 

Senate Committees on Appropriations through the annual appropriations process. The Committee is concerned that movements of 

funds above the de minimis levels specified in section 505 of this 

Act may be occurring without Congressional notification. That section requires notification to the House and Senate Committees on 

Appropriations of deviations from the budgeted and appropriated 

levels specified for all programs, projects and activities. To clarify 

the level at which reprogramming actions are to be measured, the 

Committee has chosen to include by mission directorate a summary 

table delineating each program, project and activity against which 


rfrederick on PROD1PC67 with HEARING
137 

the reprogramming thresholds are to be measured. This display in 

no way curtails NASA’s current flexibility in managing its diverse 

portfolio of research and development and operational programs. 

Rather, it will require NASA to inform the Committee on any deviations, subject to the thresholds specified in section 505 of this Act, 

from the levels explicit in the agency’s budget justification, as adjusted for congressional action, as shown in the accompanying summary table. The Committee’s recommendation for NASA is delineated more fully in the table below and in the following account 

summaries.

Bill compared with: 

Fiscal Year 2009 enacted ............................................................ ¥6,919,000 

Fiscal Year 2010 request ............................................................ +18,900,000 

This appropriation provides for the full costs associated with the 

science activities of the agency, which consist of the programs, or 

themes, within the Science Mission Directorate. The full costs include all labor, travel, procurement, test and fabrication costs to 

execute these programs, which provide for all of the research; development; operations; salaries and related expenses; and other 

general and administrative activities supporting the themes within 

this account. NASA’s Science Mission Directorate encompasses four 

themes: Earth Science, Planetary Science, Heliophysics, and Astrophysics. The Directorate seeks to answer fundamental questions 

concerning the ways in which Earth’s climate is changing; the comparison of Earth with other planets in the solar system and around 

other stars; the connections among the Sun, Earth, and 

heliosphere; and the origin and evolution of planetary systems, the 

galaxy, and the universe, including the origin and distribution of 

life in the universe. The Directorate achieves its objectives through 

robotic flight missions, ground-based scientific research and data 

analysis, and the development of new technologies for future missions. 

For fiscal year 2010, the Committee recommends $4,496,100,000, an increase of $18,900,000 above the budget request, and 

$6,919,000 below the fiscal year 2009 comparable levels. The appropriation shall be available for one fiscal year, except that 

$450,000,000 shall be available for two fiscal years. The recommendation makes the following adjustments to the budget request: 

Earth science research and analysis ................................................. +$32,000,000 

Earth science, other missions and data analysis ............................. +15,000,000 

Orbiting carbon observatory (incl. FY 2009 balances) .................... ¥32,200,000

Consolidate all agency construction in new account ....................... ¥12,600,000 

Affordability adjustment .................................................................... ¥11,000,000 

Earth science.—The Committee supports the development of Tier 

I missions in support of NASA’s Earth science program. These missions, in coordination with small and medium class missions being 

developed by the agency, are critical to address global challenges 

in climate change and other areas. 

Earth science, other missions and data analysis.—The recommendation includes $201,300,000 for Earth science, other missions and data analysis. An increase of $15,000,000 is provided 

above the request to advance further the studies of the next two 

decadal survey missions, the Climate Absolute Radiance and 

Refractivity Observatory (CLARREO) and the Deformation, Ecosystem Structure, and Dynamics of the Ice (DESDnyl). 

Scatterometer.— The Committee directs NOAA and NASA to continue joint studies leading to a NOAA request in the fiscal year

vide sea surface vector wind measurements. NASA should continue 

to co-fund this study in fiscal year 2010 and then supply its customary implementation support to NOAA satellite activities on a 

reimbursable basis beginning in fiscal year 2011. The Committee 

acknowledges that a radar scatterometer could have been adopted 

as an operational NOAA instrument many years ago and appreciates the support NASA has provided to the operational data users 

by flying scatterometers as part of its Earth science research mission. 

Orbiting carbon observatory (OCO).—In February, a rocket failure sent OCO into the ocean off the coast of Antarctica, depriving 

climate scientists of measurements meant to bridge data collected 

by a seven-year-old satellite and a more advanced spacecraft is not 

expected to launch for at least several years. This satellite was to 

map Earth’s carbon dioxide concentrations in unprecedented detail. 

Several options have been suggested following the loss of the OCO: 

extend the operations of the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) 

instrument aboard the Aqua spacecraft, launched in 2002; accelerate the development of the follow-on spacecraft, ASCENDS, 

which is currently not slated until after 2013; and building and flying another OCO. The Committee awaits NASA’s informed judgment on how best to proceed, including schedule and cost estimates 

for its recommendation, but expects such determination by September 1, 2009. 

Near Earth object observations.—The recommendation includes 

$5,800,000 for near Earth object observations, an increase of 

$2,000,000 to support ongoing scientific research at the Arecibo Observatory in the fields of climate change and space weather. 

GLOBE.—Within the amounts provided for Earth science, 

$3,000,000 is provided for the GLOBE program. NASA is directed 

to work cooperatively with NOAA during fiscal year 2010 to transition program responsibility for GLOBE from NASA to NOAA. 

Mars program.—Exploring Mars remains one of NASA’s most 

challenging and exciting endeavors. The Committee continues to 

support a robust Mars exploration program and recommends funds 

for the completion of the Mars Science Laboratory for launch in 

2011. 

Astrophysics other missions and data analysis.—Within the 

amounts provided, not less than $50,000,000 is available to continue efforts in the use of the next generation of human space 

flight architecture to service existing and future observatory-class 

scientific spacecraft as identified in the conference report accompanying division B of Public Law 111–8. 

Astrophysics exoplanet exploration, other missions and data analysis.—Building on NASA’s decades of investment in interferometric 

capabilities and technologies, the Committee recommendation includes funds requested to enable SIM-Lite to continue mission concept, technology and risk reduction efforts in fiscal year 2010. 

Jupiter system mission.—In February 2009, after a competitive 

review by the world’s leading planetary scientists and senior NASA 

leadership, NASA formally decided that the top priority Outer 

Planet flagship mission was the Jupiter Europa orbiter/lander, 

which would launch in 2020. This review also concluded that a mission to Saturn’s moon, Titan, would follow later in the decade. The 


rfrederick on PROD1PC67 with HEARING
143 

Committee continues to support the Jupiter Europa orbiter/lander 

and NASA’s decision. 

The Jupiter system mission consists of two spacecraft to explore 

the Jupiter system and investigate the emergence of potentially 

habitable worlds around giant planets. The mission places a special 

emphasis on two of Jupiter’s giant moons, Europa and Ganymede, 

and would be conducted in concert with the European Space Agency. The Committee recommendation includes $18,000,000 to further 

study the Europa Jupiter system mission and to address the primary risk to the mission, the energy particle radiation environment 

of Jupiter. Included in these funds shall be efforts to assist the 

science community in preparing to respond to the announcement of 

opportunity for the instruments. 

The Committee is concerned that the budget profile for the Outer 

Planets flagship mission to Europa appears inconsistent with a 

2020 launch. Therefore, NASA is directed within 60 days of enactment of this Act to provide a projected full lifetime budget outline 

for the Europa mission, to include anticipated contributions from 

foreign partners, and an alternative budget profile that would accelerate the launch to 2018. 

Planetary science, technology.—Within the funds provided for 

planetary science, resources are provided for test and development 

of thermal protection systems (TPS), such as coal-based carbon 

foam ablative devices, in future missions to and from Mars and 

Moon.

This appropriation provides for the full costs associated with the 

aeronautics activities of the agency, which consist of the programs, 

or themes, within the Aeronautics Mission Directorate. The full 

costs include all labor, travel, procurement, test and fabrication 

costs to execute these programs, which provide for all of the research; development; operations; salaries and related expenses; and 

other general and administrative activities supporting the themes 

within this account. NASA’s Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate is committed to expanding the boundaries of aeronautical 

knowledge for the benefit of the Nation and the broad aeronautics 

community. NASA conducts cutting-edge research that includes 

foundational research across a number of core competencies that 

support aeronautics and space exploration activities; research in 

key areas related to the development of advanced aircraft technologies and systems, including those related to aircraft safety, environmental compatibility, and fuel efficiency; and research that 

supports the Next Generation Air Transportation System in partnership with the Joint Planning and Development Office. 

For fiscal year 2010, the Committee recommendation includes $501,000,000, a decrease of $6,000,000 from the budget request,

Bill compared with: 

Fiscal Year 2009 enacted ............................................................ ¥212,269,000 

Fiscal Year 2010 request ............................................................ ¥669,900,000 1Following the human space flight review, the Administration will provide an updated request for Exploration activities reflecting the review’s results. 

This appropriation provides for the full costs associated with the 

exploration activities of the agency, which consist of the programs, 

or themes, within the Exploration Mission Directorate. The full 

costs include all labor, travel, procurement, test and fabrication 

costs to execute these programs, which provide for all of the research; development; operations; salaries and related expenses; and 

other general and administrative activities supporting the themes 

within this account. The Exploration Systems Mission Directorate 

was established to realize the Vision for Space Exploration. Exploration Systems includes two themes that work together to enable 

sustainable exploration and scientific discovery in the solar system: 

Constellation Systems and Advanced Capabilities. 

Through Constellation Systems, NASA will develop, demonstrate, 

and deploy the transportation, life support, and surface systems 

that will enable sustained human and robotic exploration of the 

Moon, Mars, and beyond. Human exploration will enable scientific 

activities and discoveries not obtainable with robotic explorers. Initial capabilities include the Orion crew exploration vehicle that will 

transport and support crews traveling beyond low Earth orbit, and 

the Ares I launch vehicle for transporting Orion into space. Following the development of these initial capabilities, Constellation 

Systems will develop capabilities to support a human mission to 

the lunar surface by 2020 though this timeline may change. These 

capabilities include the Ares V heavylift launch vehicle, leveraging 

engineering design and capabilities from the Shuttle program; an 

Earth departure stage to propel Orion from low Earth to lunar 

orbit; a lunar surface access module to safely transport astronauts 

to and from the lunar surface; and systems, capabilities, and support for extended human stays on the lunar surface. Future development will provide crew, cargo transportation, and destination 

support capabilities required for human exploration of Mars and 

beyond. 

The Advanced Capabilities theme consists of three programs: the 

lunar precursor robotic program, the exploration technology development program, and the human research program. Activities 

within these programs help prepare for human lunar exploration, 

test new technologies that enable exploration, and further understanding of the effects of space on human performance. The lunar 

precursor robotic program is developing a precursor mission to 

characterize the lunar environment. The lunar reconnaissance orbiter and lunar crater observing and sensing satellite, scheduled to 

launch in June 2009, will seek to find safe landing sites, locate potential resources, characterize the radiation environment, and demonstrate new technology. The lunar precursor robotic program will 


rfrederick on PROD1PC67 with HEARING
145 

work with the Science Mission Directorate and international partners on future missions to ensure that NASA gains the data it 

needs for safe and cost-effective future exploration. 

For fiscal year 2010, the Committee recommendation includes 

$3,293,200,000, a decrease of $212,269,000 over the comparable enacted level and $669,900,000 below the budget request. The appropriation is available for one fiscal year, except that $330,000,000 

shall be available for two fiscal years. Recommended adjustments 

to the budget estimate are as follows: 

Adjustment pending blue ribbon panel review: 

Constellation systems ................................................................. ¥$586,300,000 

Advanced capabilities .................................................................. +19,800,000 

Realign the costs of administrative activities to CAS ..................... ¥33,500,000 

Consolidate all agency construction in new account ....................... ¥69,900,000 

Adjustment pending Blue Ribbon Panel review.—In early May, 

the Administration announced that NASA initiated an independent 

review of planned U.S. human space flight activities and alternatives to ensure that the Nation is undertaking efforts that are 

safe, innovative, affordable and sustainable in the years following 

completion of the Space Shuttle manifest and retirement. The review panel is to consider: 

• expediting a new U.S. capability to support use of the 

International Space Station; 

• supporting missions to the Moon and other destinations 

beyond low Earth orbit; 

• stimulating commercial space flight capabilities; and, 

• fitting within the current budget profile for NASA exploration activities. 

The panel will present its results in time to support an Administration decision on the way forward by August 2009, during which 

time NASA will continue its current exploration projects, including 

Ares I, Orion, commercial crew and cargo efforts and lunar systems. 

In light of this ongoing review, and pending the recommendations of the panel and a determination by the Administration on 

the way forward, the Committee recommends deferring an increase 

from the fiscal year 2009 enacted level. This deferral is taken without prejudice to the existing architecture. The funding of 

$3,293,200,000 provided in this bill, together with $250,000,000 in 

funds provided for Exploration activities in the American Recovery 

and Reinvention Act of 2009, will provide resources for NASA to 

continue its efforts in human space flight in fiscal year 2010. 

The Committee reaffirms its commitment to preserve the United 

States’ world leadership in space exploration. This Committee has 

long supported the Nation’s space program; that support of NASA 

and its manned space program continues today. The Committee acknowledges the unsustainable circumstances the Nation finds itself 

today with the lag between the retirement of the Shuttle and the 

launch of the next generation manned spacecraft and encourages 

the Administration and NASA to mitigate that hiatus to the extent 

practicable. The Committee recognizes that the United States cannot maintain its world leadership in space exploration without a robust manned space program capable of carrying crews beyond low 

Earth orbit. 


rfrederick on PROD1PC67 with HEARING

The Committee looks forward to receiving the findings and recommendations of the Blue Ribbon Panel. To that end, however, the 

Committee asserts that its recommendations herein should not be 

viewed by the Blue Ribbon Panel as a diminution of the Committee’s support for NASA’s human space flight program. Previous 

budget requests have failed to fund fully the Nation’s identified 

human space flight program, which over the years and in turn, 

have eroded in part NASA’s ability to bring Constellation’s initial 

operating capability within earlier established timelines. These 

budget shortfalls further exacerbate total program costs. Accordingly, after the work of the panel is complete, the Committee expects the Administration will amend its fiscal year 2010 budget request to fund fully the plan advocated by the panel and that the 

Administration’s subsequent budget requests shall similarly include resources to fund fully the Nation’s human space flight program. Lastly, the Committee looks forward to the appropriate authorizing committees’ review and subsequent authorization of 

NASA’s exploration programs and activities. 

International Space Station (ISS) research.—These funds support 

the study of life and physical sciences phenomenon in microgravity, 

as well as in the partial gravity environments of the Moon and 

Mars. In testimony before the Committee, Dr. Lennard Fisk noted 

that investments in life science and microgravity have suffered ‘‘far 

more egregious’’ and disproportionate reductions in investments 

than any other science discipline at NASA. Accordingly, within 

funds provided for exploration technology development, the Committee provides $50,000,000 for ISS research in fiscal year 2010, an 

increase of $28,200,000 above the request and $5,200,000 over fiscal year 2009. 

Technology infusion.—A total of $219,300,000 is provided for 

technology infusion, the same level as provided in fiscal year 2009. 

Within the funds provided, resources are available for the development of new technologies, including filament wound aluminum 

metal matrix composite technology for use in cryogentic fuels systems for space vehicles, to include Ares launch vehicles and the 

Altair lunar lander.

This appropriation provides for the full costs associated with the 

education activities of the agency, which consist of the programs, 

or themes, within the Education Mission Directorate. The full costs 

include all labor, travel, and procurement costs to execute these 

programs, which provide for all general and administrative activities supporting this mission. NASA’s Education program works to 

inspire and educate students at all levels to pursue careers in the 

fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, while 

also engaging the education community to reach this goal. The 

Education portfolio demonstrates a commitment to science, technology, engineering and mathematics education to ensure that the 

next generation of explorers and innovators is fully prepared to join 

NASA’s workforce while contributing to national needs. NASA’s objectives are to (1) provide elementary and secondary students and 

teachers with NASA-related education opportunities; (2) support 

higher education research capability and opportunities that attract 

and prepare students and faculty for NASA-related careers; (3) provide students, teachers, faculty and researchers from underrepresented and underserved communities with opportunities in 

NASA-related science and technology fields; (4) and increase student, teacher and public access to NASA education resources by developing and deploying innovative technology applications platforms. NASA engages the public in shaping and sharing the experience of exploration and discovery by improving public understanding of science and technology, including NASA aerospace technology, research and exploration missions. 

The Committee rejects the Administration’s proposal to cut 

NASA’s education programs from comparable fiscal year 2009 enacted levels. The 2005 National Academies’ report, Rising Above 

the Gathering Storm, noted that the scientific and technological 

building blocks of the United States’ economic leadership are eroding at a time when other nations are gathering strength. The necessary key identified in the report is to improve America’s talent

pool by vastly improving Kindergarten through twelfth grade 

science and mathematics education. In addition, a recent congressionally-mandated task force found that by the end of this year, 

over one-quarter of the U.S. aerospace workforce will be eligible to 

retire, with too few engineers graduating from college to replace 

them. A continuing dearth of students and graduates in math, 

science and engineering cannot be sustained. Short-term cuts in 

education programs have long-term effects. Accordingly, for fiscal 

year 2010, the Committee recommends $175,000,000, an increase 

of $48,900,000 over the budget request, and $5,800,000 over comparable fiscal year 2009 enacted levels. Funds provided in this appropriation are to be allocated as follows: 

Higher education STEM education:

National Space Grant College and Fellowship program.—For this 

program, the Committee recommends $45,600,000 to fund 42 states 

or jurisdictions at $900,000 each and 10 states or jurisdictions at 

$700,000 each. 

CROSS AGENCY SUPPORT

Bill compared with: 

Fiscal Year 2009 enacted ............................................................ ¥142,387,000 

Fiscal Year 2010 request ............................................................ ¥236,600,000 

This appropriation provides for the agency supporting functions 

associated with the science, aeronautics, education, space operations and exploration activities of the agency. This account provides for the research; development; operations; salaries and related expenses; and other general and administrative activities 

supporting the themes within the five other program accounts. 

Cross Agency Support provides a strategic focus for managing 

agency mission support functions and some of NASA’s unique research facilities. This budget area consists of three themes: center 

management and operations; agency management and operations; 

and institutional investments. The center management and operations theme includes the basic costs to manage and operate each 

of the nine NASA field centers and to maintain the technical capabilities required to support the agency’s mission. This budget 

theme is not directly identified or aligned to a specific program or 

project requirement, but is necessary for efficient and effective administration and operation of the NASA centers. The agency management and operations theme provides for the management and 

oversight of agency missions, functions, and the performance of 


rfrederick on PROD1PC67 with HEARING
149 

some agency-wide activities and unique research capabilities and 

facilities. Theme responsibilities include the determination of programs and projects; establishment of management policies, procedures, and performance criteria; evaluation of progress; and the coordination and integration of all phases of the agency’s mission. 

The five major programs included in this theme are agency management, safety and mission success, agency IT services, innovative 

partnerships program, and strategic capability asset program. The 

institutional investments theme provides for design and execution 

of non-programmatic discrete and minor revitalization construction 

of facilities projects, facility demolition projects, and environmental 

compliance and restoration activities. For fiscal year 2010, the bill provides $3,164,000,000, $236,600,000 below the budget request. Appropriations are made 

available for one fiscal year, reflecting the administrative nature of 

the account. The Committee recommendation provides for the following allocation of funds within cross-agency support programs: 

Realign the costs of administrative activities to CAS ..................... +$98,900,000 

Consolidate all agency construction in new account ....................... ¥355,400,000 

Safety and mission success ................................................................ +25,300,000 

Innovative partnership programs ..................................................... ¥21,100,000 

Congressionally-designated items ..................................................... +15,700,000 

Center management and operations.—The realignment of NASA’s 

budget structure required by the fiscal year 2008 Omnibus Appropriations Act was intended to improve the transparency of NASA’s 

budget by separately funding programmatic and administrative activities. It was the Committee’s intent that the Cross Agency Support account fully fund Center administrative activities, including 

human resources, financial management, procurement, facilities 

operations, information technology services, and public affairs. As 

the 2009 budget is being executed by NASA, it appears that significant numbers of Center FTE in these administrative areas are 

being charged to programmatic accounts. For fiscal year 2010, the 

Committee proposes to transfer these administrative FTE from the 

program accounts to Center management and operations within 

the CAS account, as follows, and provide a total of $2,182,900,000 

for center management and operations: 

Realign SMD administrative activities to CAS ............................... +$24,300,000 

Realign ARMD administrative activities to CAS ............................. +6,000,000 

Realign ESMD administrative activities to CAS ............................. +33,500,000 

Realign SOMD administrative activities to CAS ............................. +33,800,000 

Realign EMD administrative activities to CAS ............................... +1,300,000 

Net adjustment ............................................................................ +98,900,000 

Safety and mission success.—The Committee recommends a total 

of $209,200,000, an increase of $25,300,000 over the budget estimate, for safety and mission success. These funds shall be available 

for NASA’s overall software assurance and risk management strategy to ensure the correctness and quality of critical and complex 

software systems. Within the funds provided for safety and mission 

success, $50,000,000 shall be for independent verification and validation activities. 

Innovative partnerships.—In total, the recommendation includes 

$163,700,000 for innovative partnership programs. This level represents an increase of $3,500,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted level and $21,100,000 from the budget estimate.

CONSTRUCTION OF FACILITIES AND ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE

AND REMEDIATION

Fiscal Year 2009 enacted ................................................................... ............................

Fiscal Year 2010 request ................................................................... (1) 

Recommended in the bill ................................................................... $441,700,000 

Bill compared with: 

Fiscal Year 2009 enacted ............................................................ (1) 

Fiscal Year 2010 request ............................................................ +441,700,000 1The budget requests funds for programmatic construction and environmental compliance and remediation 

in the respective mission directorates, and funds for institutional construction within the cross agency support account. 

The Committee recommendation includes a new appropriation 

for the construction of facilities (CoF) and environmental compliance and remediation. In total, the bill provides $441,700,000: the 

same level as requested in the budget estimate for programmatic 

construction in the Science and Space Operations mission directorates; $66,900,000 for the Exploration mission directorate, which 

is the same level as provided in the fiscal year 2009, pending the 

conclusions of the Blue Panel Review; and a reduction of 

$23,000,000 from the amounts requested for institutional investments within Cross Agency Support account. These funds, available for five years, are allocated within the bill and are to be available as follows: 

Science .................................................................................................... $12,600,000 

Exploration ............................................................................................. 69,900,000 

Space operations .................................................................................... 26,800,000 

Cross agency support ............................................................................. 332,400,000 

Institutional investments ............................................................... (261,200,000) 

Environmental compliance and restoration ................................. (71,200,000) 

Total, construction and environmental compliance and remediation .............................................................................. 441,700,000 

NASA makes numerous changes to its construction of facilities 

program between the submission of the annual budget and project 

initiation and completion. Funding for programmatic (i.e., from 

within the mission directorates) CoF has increased nearly 46 percent between the original fiscal year 2004 to fiscal year 2008 budget requests and the fiscal year 2008 operating plan and funding for 

institutional (i.e., from within cross agency support) CoF has increased 8 percent between the original fiscal year 2004 to fiscal 

year 2008 budget requests and the fiscal year 2008 operating plan. 

However, scant detail and justification is provided in the operating 

plans for the numerous changes to the CoF program, and operating 

plans do not provide an effective mechanism to track the execution 

of CoF funding or project progress over time. The Committee asserts that changes to the way NASA’s CoF funding is appropriated 

and administered, and specific reporting requirements for the CoF 

program, will provide more visibility into NASA’s CoF program 

execution. NASA is directed to provide NASA form 1509 for each 

CoF project submitted in the annual budget request or an initial 

operating plan and for each CoF project subject to a reprogramming notification. The Committee’s recommendation to create a 

new account will not affect NASA’s current flexibility for managing 

its CoF program, but will ensure the detail and transparency needed to assess the validity and scope of a project and the appropriateness of its funding source. In total, these changes will restore a 

more disciplined approach to NASA’s use of appropriated funds for 

the construction of its facilities.

Cross agency support.—Within institutional investments, the recommendation provides inflationary adjustments for the various activities as reflected in the following adjustments to the budget request: 

Minor renovation of facilities at various locations .......................... ¥$12,100,000 

Demolition of facilities ....................................................................... ¥4,700,000 

Construction, planning, design and management ........................... ¥6,200,000 

Total, recommended adjustments .............................................. ¥23,000,000 

As Shuttle transition proceeds, the Committee urges NASA to 

maintain and update facilities at all 10 centers to ensure that each 

may participate in the work of future NASA missions and endeavors. NASA is directed to provide to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations, within 60 days of the enactment of this Act, 

a comprehensive 5-year detailing by center projected facilities infrastructure improvements and construction. The plan shall also 

include current and projected mission assignments by center and 

how such proposed improvements meet each center’s mission objectives.

Bill compared with: 

Fiscal Year 2009 enacted ............................................................ +1,400,000 

Fiscal Year 2010 request ............................................................ ¥1,400,000 

The Inspector General Act of 1978 established the Office of Inspector General. The Office’s mission is to prevent and detect 

crime, fraud, waste, abuse, and mismanagement while promoting 

economy, effectiveness, and efficiency with NASA. The Committee 

recommendation includes $35,000,000 for the Office of Inspector 

General, $1,400,000 above the fiscal year 2009 enacted level and 

$1,400,000 below the budget estimate. The appropriation shall be 

available for one fiscal year. 

ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS

The bill includes a provision that funds for announced prizes otherwise authorized shall remain available until expended, until the 

prize is claimed or the offer withdrawn. 

The bill includes a provision that establishes thresholds for the 

transfer of funds. 

The bill includes a provision prohibiting the use of funds to implement any reduction in force or other involuntary separations 

(except for cause) by NASA prior to September 30, 2010. 

The bill includes a provision that provides for the transfer of balances under the old appropriations account structure to the new 

appropriations account structure. 

NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION

The National Science Foundation Act of 1950 established the 

Foundation ‘‘to promote the progress of science; to advance the national health, prosperity, and welfare; and to secure the national 

defense.’’ The National Science Foundation (NSF) supports all the 

non-medical fields of science, engineering and mathematics. While 


rfrederick on PROD1PC67 with HEARING
154 

the NSF serves as an efficient mechanism for funding research by 

the nation’s colleges and universities focused on topics of critical 

national need, such as climate change, NSF’s essential function is 

to fund a broad array of research. In this way, as new issues arise, 

the United States has technical expertise available to respond and 

maintains a nimble science and engineering enterprise that is positioned to capitalize on new opportunities. 

The value of the NSF to the future growth of the United States 

economy was clearly acknowledged in the National Academy of 

Sciences report Rising Above the Gathering Storm and in the America Competes Act (Public Law 110–69). NSF’s budget is on course 

to double by fiscal year 2016, and the funding recommended in this 

bill is consistent with this goal. 

Continuity in funding levels.—The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) included an additional 

$3,002,000,000 in funding for NSF. Roughly two-thirds of these 

added funds will support 2-, 3-, 4-, and 5-year research grants, with 

the overwhelming majority of this amount likely going to fund 3- 

year grants, consistent with normal NSF practice. These grants 

will encourage many undergraduate science, engineering, and 

mathematics majors to go to graduate school in their technical 

fields and will support a pulse of research positions employing new 

graduate degree recipients. The budget request projects NSF funding in fiscal year 2012 of $8,490,000,000. This level is only 

$1,990,000,000 above the base level for fiscal year 2009. The Committee expects future budget requests for NSF at least adequate to 

sustain the levels of science workforce supported in fiscal year 2009 

by the combined Omnibus Appropriations Act, 2009 (Public Law 

111–8) and ARRA so as to avoid a boom-bust cycle in science, engineering, and mathematics employment. It is critical that there be 

sufficient NSF funding in fiscal year 2012 to support opportunities 

for this pulse of additional graduate students and young researchers to continue their careers when the 3-year grants funded by 

ARRA expire. 

The budget request projects NSF funding in fiscal year 2011 of 

$7,250,000,000, which is less than 3 percent above the fiscal year 

2010 request. The Committee finds this level of request inadequate 

given the critical role played by NSF and the Nation’s colleges and 

universities. A 7 percent increase, as projected for the annual increases in fiscal years 2013–2016, would be more consistent with 

10-year doubling of NSF’s budget. 

The Committee directs the Foundation to convene a panel of experts to survey U.S. pre-K to 12 schools that are highly successful 

in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education and a sampling of corresponding institutions abroad and report recommendations to Congress on how their STEM education 

practices might be more broadly replicated in the U.S. public school 

system. The membership of the panel should include educators, 

businesspersons, scientists, engineers and others, based on their 

expertise and contributions in the aforementioned fields. The Foundation shall submit a report of the findings and recommendations 

of this panel to the Committee within 180 days of the enactment 

of this Act.

Bill compared with: 

Fiscal Year 2009 enacted ............................................................ +459,010,000 

Fiscal Year 2010 request ............................................................ ¥91,130,000 

The Research and Related Activities appropriation enables the 

United States to provide leadership and promote progress across 

the expanding frontiers of scientific and engineering research and 

education. This appropriation provides resources for NSF’s major 

research activities, which include biological sciences; computer and 

information science and engineering; engineering; geosciences; 

mathematical and physical sciences; social, behavioral, and economic sciences; Office of International Science and Engineering; 

U.S. polar research programs; U.S. Antarctic logistical support activities; integrative activities, including the Experimental Program 

to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR); Office of Cyberinfrastructure; and the U.S. Arctic Research Commission. 

The Committee recommends an appropriation for research and related activities of $5,642,110,000 for fiscal year 2010, an increase 

of $459,010,000 over the comparable fiscal year 2009 enacted level. 

The reduction recommended from the request for NSF research 

support enables increases in important research and education 

funding in NOAA and NASA. 

Climate change.—All requested increases for climate change in 

the various research programs are supported. 

Graduate research fellows.—The budget request provides funding 

for the selection of 1,654 new fellows in fiscal year 2010. The Administration has set a goal of 3,000 new graduate research fellows 

per year by 2013. To accelerate the increase in graduate research 

fellows, the request is increased by $14,010,000 to enable NSF to 

select and support 2,000 new fellows in fiscal year 2010. 

Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research 

(EPSCoR).—EPSCoR is critical as one means to build science expertise in all States. The Committee recommendation includes 

$147,120,000, the same as the request. 

High-risk, High-reward Basic Research.—The Committee supports the proposal in the budget request to set aside a minimum 

of $2,000,000 in each research division to explore methodologies 

that support transformative research. The Committee understands 

that this initiative will total approximately $92,000,000 Foundation-wide, and may include innovative processes for identifying potentially transformative research, special solicitations and competitions including innovation prizes, increased use of specialized funding mechanisms, and exploring novel processes for problem solving. 

Major research instrumentation.—The recommendation includes 

no funds for Major Research Instrumentation. This reduction of 

$100,000,000 from the request recognizes that NSF has issued two 

solicitations during fiscal year 2009 for Major Research Instrumentation with awards expected to total $400,000,000. The Committee 

expects the 2011 request again will seek significant funds for this 

important program within Research and Related Activities.

ical Sciences is not supported in light of the major similar investments in basic energy sciences within the Department of Energy 

Office of Science. 

Hydrology and terrestrial ecosystems research.—The Committee 

notes the success of the National Center for Atmospheric Research 

in serving as an institutional focus for atmospheric research and in 

the provision of shared infrastructure, especially supercomputing 

and the community climate model. The Committee sees the need 

for an appropriate mechanism to bring together the hydrology research community and better integrate the different types of data 

and observing systems and enhance support of hydrology modeling. 

The Committee also sees the need for an appropriate mechanism 

to bring together the terrestrial ecology research community including the existing Long Term Ecological Research sites and their 

data, the considerable efforts in agriculture, forestry, and the 

USGS Biological Research Program, those who use satellite data 

such as that from Landsat, EOS, and the operational NOAA satellites, and the new NEON distributed observing system. NSF is 

directed to report its recommendations on the need for and establishment of mechanisms in these two areas of research with the 

budget request for fiscal year 2011. 

Climate change education.—Using the most current information 

available, the National Academy of Sciences is undertaking a study 

to evaluate the implications of different atmospheric greenhouse 

gas concentration target levels and explain the uncertainties inherent in the analyses to inform policy makers as they make decisions 

about stabilization target levels for atmospheric greenhouse gas 

concentrations. Within the amounts appropriated, $100,000 is included for transfer to the National Academy of Sciences to develop 

educational materials based on the conclusions of this study for use 

at the collegiate level to strengthen climate education. 

Ocean acidification.—Ocean acidification is a critical problem 

with potentially destructive effects on coral reefs and commercial 

fisheries. Within the amounts appropriated, funding is included for 

research into the causes of and solutions to the growing threat of 

ocean acidification at levels consistent with the recommendations of 

the Federal Ocean Acidification Research and Monitoring Program. 

Metagenomics research.—In environmental research and soil 

science, the new approach of metagenomics, in which genes are 

identified within samples without isolating individual species, is of 

increasing value.

a decrease of $37,720,000 from the fiscal year 2009 enacted level 

and $3,000,000 below the budget request. The recommendation deletes $3,000,000 proposed to repay the Judgment Fund. The bill 

also includes language prohibiting the use of funds to repay the 

Judgment Fund. 

The following table shows the specific projects for which funding 

was requested and is recommended.

Ice Cube .................................................................................................. 950,000 

Distributed and networked observing systems.—Future major research equipment projects that involve spatially distributed networks of sensors, such as envisioned for NEON, are likely to be 

critical resources required for use by many researchers in oceanography, limnology, terrestrial and marine ecology and other fields. 

Funding for such systems is appropriate for inclusion in MREFC.

Bill compared with: 

Fiscal Year 2009 enacted ............................................................ +17,640,000 

Fiscal Year 2010 request ............................................................ +5,140,000 

The Foundation’s Education and Human Resources activities 

support all levels of education and training from pre-Kindergarten 

through career development; promote public understanding of 

science, mathematics, engineering and technology; and ensure the 

United States has world-class scientists, mathematicians and engineers. This appropriation supports a cohesive and comprehensive 

set of activities that encompass every level of education and every 

region of the country. The major components of this directorate include research and learning in formal and informal settings; undergraduate education; graduate education; and human resource development. 

The Committee recommendation provides $862,900,000 for education and human resources, an increase of $17,640,000 over the 

fiscal year 2009 enacted level and $5,140,000 above the budget request. The recommendation includes adjustments to the budget request for the specific programs, as follows: 

Discovery research K–12 ....................................................................... +$20,000,000 

Research and evaluation on education in science and engineering +5,000,000

K–6 science education.—In testimony before the Commerce, Justice, Science Subcommittee, it was stated that most children decide 

to pursue science, engineering or mathematics in elementary 

school. NSF is directed to prepare a report on K–6 science education compiling all state standards, evidence of their effectiveness, 

and the degree to which they inculcate scientific inquiry in the education of young students. This report is due to the Committees on 

Appropriations of the House and Senate no later than April 1, 

2010. NSF is encouraged to work with the National Research 

Council, the National Science Teachers Association, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science in the preparation 

of this report and to include recommendations for how to improve 

science education in grades K–6. 

Experiential learning.—The Committee strongly believes that 

students need to have experience doing science and not merely 

reading about it. Half a century ago an advantage of U.S. science 

education was the inclusion of laboratory work in high school and 

college science courses. Today, this type of practical student experience needs to extend beyond reproducing standard experiments to 

taking measurements where the correct result is not already 

known. Furthermore, it should extend beyond the four walls of a 

physics, chemistry, or biology lab. Opportunities for scientific measurement are all around us in the ever changing natural world and 

are simple enough to be accessible even to elementary school students with affordable equipment such as thermometers. Such 

hands-on measurement experiences are the central element of inquiry-based instruction where students ‘‘do’’ science: formulating 

research questions, taking measurements, analyzing data using 

their mathematics skills, and articulating their results. It is critical 

that hands-on, inquiry-based instruction form the basis of student 

learning because addressing the complexity and uncertainty inherent in current real world problems requires the integrated application of all the sciences and mathematics and research shows that 

this improves student achievement and retention. Science literacy 

for the general public and future innovation workforce relies on 

students doing and thinking of how to apply science and math together from their earliest years. Accordingly, the Committee recommendation provides an increase of $30,000,000 above the request to enhance research, implementation and evaluation of inquiry-based, hands-on instruction for K–12 science students and 

those who will teach them. 

Discovery research K–12 (DR–K12).—The increase above the request for the DR–K12 program is to enhance advancement of inquiry-based instruction in K–12 STEM teaching with at least half 

the funding focused on grades K–6. This may be done through the

12 teachers and other undergraduates and to assess student learning and evaluate course effectiveness. Teachers need to experience 

a model of inquiry-based science instruction in order to have a 

model for use of inquiry in their classrooms. 

Hispanic Serving Institutions—Undergraduate Program.—NSF is 

directed to provide a report detailing plans to establish a Hispanic 

Serving Institutions—Undergraduate Program no later than 90 

days following enactment. The Committee expects a significant 

funding request for such a program to be included in the fiscal year 

2011 budget request for NSF. 

AGENCY OPERATIONS AND AWARD MANAGEMENT

Fiscal Year 2009 enacted ................................................................... $294,000,000 

Fiscal Year 2010 request ................................................................... 318,370,000

Bill compared with: 

Fiscal Year 2009 enacted ............................................................ +5,870,000 

Fiscal Year 2010 request ............................................................ ¥18,500,000 

The Agency Operations and Award Management appropriation 

includes funding for staff salaries, benefits, staff travel, training, 

rent, information technology, administrative contractual services, 

supplies, equipment and other operating expenses necessary for 

management of NSF’s research and education activities. This appropriation supports full-time equivalents, provides for current administrative services and enhances the agency’s investment in information technology to increase productivity. For fiscal year 2010, 

the Committee recommendation provides $299,870,000, $5,870,000 

above the fiscal year 2009 enacted level and $18,500,000 below the 

budget request. The recommended level provides for inflationary 

increases in staffing at the NSF. NSF continues to be a well-managed, adequately staffed agency. Given the challenging economic 

climate of the Nation, NSF is encouraged to avoid excessive salaries for rotators. 

NATIONAL SCIENCE BOARD

Fiscal Year 2009 enacted ................................................................... $4,030,000 

Fiscal Year 2010 request ................................................................... 4,340,000

Fiscal Year 2009 request ............................................................ ............................

The Office of the National Science Board, established in 1950, establishes policies and assesses the quality, relevance and performance of the National Science Foundation’s awards and capital investments. In addition, the Board provides advice to the executive 

branch and Congress on matters of science and engineering policy. 

For fiscal year 2010, the recommendation provides $4,340,000, the 

same as the budget request and $310,000 above the fiscal year 

2009 enacted level.

Fiscal Year 2009 request ............................................................ ¥1,000,000 

The Office of the Inspector General was established to promote 

economy, efficiency and effectiveness in administering the Foundation’s programs; to detect and prevent waste, fraud or abuse within 

the Foundation or by individuals that request or receive National 

Science Foundation funding; and to identify and resolve cases of 

misconduct in science. For fiscal year 2010, the Committee recommends $13,000,000, an increase of $1,000,000 above the fiscal 

year 2009 enacted level and $1,000,000 below the budget estimate. 

TITLE IV—RELATED AGENCIES 

COMMISSION ON CIVIL RIGHTS

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

Fiscal Year 2009 enacted ................................................................... $8,800,000 

Fiscal Year 2010 request ................................................................... 9,400,000 

Recommended in the bill ................................................................... 9,400,000 

Bill compared with: 

Fiscal Year 2009 enacted ............................................................ +600,000 

Fiscal Year 2010 request ............................................................ ............................

The United States Commission on Civil Rights was created to be 

an independent, bi-partisan, fact-finding agency. The Commission 

is responsible for investigating charges of citizens being deprived of 

voting and other civil rights and collecting, studying and disseminating information on the impact of Federal laws and policies on 

civil rights. For fiscal year 2010, the Committee recommends 

$9,400,000, which is equal to the budget request. 

Support of State Advisory Committees (SACs).—The Committee 

is supportive of the Commission’s goal to increase the number of 

SACs with active charters. However, the published chartering goals 

for 2009 and 2010 appear unrealistic when compared to the pace 

at which the Commission re-chartered SACs in 2007 and 2008. In 

order to improve the Committee’s ability to track chartering 

progress, the Commission is directed to submit to the House and 

Senate Committees on Appropriations a biannual report listing the 

51 SACs and the expiration date of the most recent charter for 

each. The report should also include the projected date of re-chartering for those SACs whose most recent charter has expired and 

a description of the recent activities undertaken by those that do 

have an active charter. 

In the event that the Commission is able to achieve its chartering goals, the Committee notes that significant vacancy rates in 

regional offices will still impede the Commission’s larger goal of reinvigorating its SACs. Under the assumptions in the budget request, there will be more active SACs in operation in 2010, but the 

number of regional office staff available to support them will actually decrease. Only one of the six regional offices is projected to be 

fully staffed, and one is projected to enter its third year with a secretary as the only onboard staff. The Commission is urged to enVerDate Nov 24 2008 06:11 Jun 13, 2009 Jkt 050267 PO 00000 Frm 00160 Fmt 6659 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\HR149.XXX HR149

sure that its regional office staffing plan is coordinated with its 

charter expansion plan so that newly reinvigorated SACs will have 

the operational support necessary to succeed. 

EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY COMMISSION

SALARIES AND EXPENSES

Fiscal Year 2009 enacted ................................................................... $343,925,000 

Fiscal Year 2010 request ................................................................... 367,303,000 

Recommended in the bill ................................................................... 367,303,000 

Bill compared with: 

Fiscal Year 2009 enacted ............................................................ +23,378,000 

Fiscal Year 2010 request ............................................................ ............................

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has jurisdiction over employment discrimination issues within the Federal government and also for private employers, State and local 

agencies, employment services and labor organizations. For fiscal 

year 2010, the Committee recommends $367,303,000, which is 

equal to the budget request. 

Backlog reduction.—The Committee remains very concerned 

about EEOC’s increasing charge backlog, which is on pace to reach 

102,944 charges by the end of fiscal year 2010. This is nearly double the size of the backlog as it existed less than three years ago. 

Clearly, staff levels have been inadequate to deal with this workload, and a significant new investment in personnel, particularly 

investigators and attorneys, will be necessary to even maintain the 

backlog at current levels. 

The Committee is disappointed, therefore, that the budget request does not contain more resources for staffing. At the requested 

level, EEOC will only be able to fill existing ‘‘hollow’’ FTE rather 

than increase staffing above the current FTE ceiling. At these levels, EEOC can expect, at best, a slowing of the rate of growth in 

the backlog projections rather than any substantive backlog reduction. The Committee urges the EEOC to develop and implement a 

multiyear plan to increase EEOC staffing to the levels necessary to 

achieve backlog reduction in a timely manner. In the meantime, 

EEOC is directed to submit to the House and Senate Committees 

on Appropriations quarterly reports on projected and actual agency 

staffing levels so that the Committee can better monitor EEOC’s 

personnel resources. 

Workload projections.—EEOC is reminded that workload projections should be continually calibrated with actual data as it becomes available through midyear reviews and other means. EEOC 

is also directed to ensure that its workload projections account for 

necessary changes in overtime policy as required by a March 23, 

2009 arbitration decision addressing EEOC overtime payments. 

Federal sector hearings.—The budget request notes EEOC’s intention to prioritize Federal sector cases into fast, regular or complex discovery tracks in order to improve the efficiency of the hearing process. EEOC is directed to submit to the House and Senate 

Committees on Appropriations within 60 days of the enactment of 

this Act an implementation plan for the new process, including 

background on the need for these changes, the proposed implementation schedule and an analysis of the potential impact, both positive and negative, on the ability of Federal employees to get a fair 

hearing under the track system.

Bill compared with: 

Fiscal Year 2009 enacted ............................................................ +7,600,000 

Fiscal Year 2010 request ............................................................ ............................

The International Trade Commission is an independent, quasi-judicial agency responsible for conducting trade-related investigations; providing the Congress and the President with independent, 

expert technical advice to assist in the development and implementation of U.S. international trade policy; responding to the Congress and the President on various matters affecting international 

trade; maintaining the Harmonized Commodity Description and 

Coding System of internationally accepted product nomenclature; 

providing technical assistance to eligible small businesses seeking 

remedies and benefits under the trade laws; and performing other 

specific statutory responsibilities ranging from research and analysis to quasi-judicial functions on trade-related matters. 

The Committee recommends $82,700,000 for the International 

Trade Commission (ITC) for fiscal year 2009, which is $7,600,000 

above the fiscal year 2009 level and the same as the request. This 

provides for the acquisition of additional space and fills key positions to meet the increased section 337 intellectual property caseload. 

LEGAL SERVICES CORPORATION

PAYMENT TO THE LEGAL SERVICES CORPORATION

Fiscal Year 2009 enacted ................................................................... $390,000,000 

Fiscal Year 2010 request ................................................................... 435,000,000 

Recommended in the bill ................................................................... 440,000,000 

Bill compared with: 

Fiscal Year 2009 enacted ............................................................ +50,000,000 

Fiscal Year 2010 request ............................................................ +5,000,000 

The Legal Services Corporation (LSC) is a private, non-profit corporation that provides free civil legal assistance, according to locally-determined priorities, to people living in poverty. For fiscal 

year 2010, the Committee recommends $440,000,000, which is 

$5,000,000 above the budget request. 

Increasing financial impact.—Given the increasing demand for 

legal aid services and the contraction of non-federal legal aid funding sources, it is critical for LSC to identify every possible means 

to increase the impact of its Federally appropriated dollars. Obtaining more services at no or low cost through private attorney involvement would provide one such means, and the Committee encourages LSC to increase its efforts to do so. The Committee also 

encourages LSC to reevaluate its prioritization between basic field 

grants and Technology Initiative Grants (TIG). LSC has provided 

examples of how effective TIG implementation has increased efficiency, allowed grantees to serve a greater total number of clients 

and freed up attorney resources for use on the most complex cases. 

With these benefits in mind, the Committee hopes that LSC will 

consider more significant increases to the TIG program when making future funding requests.

ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISION—LEGAL SERVICES CORPORATION

A general provision in Title V of the bill revises the administrative provision in order to permit grantees to pursue the recovery 

of attorney’s fees when recovery is permitted or required under 

Federal or State law. The Committee believes that this action will 

level the playing field between legal aid attorneys and their counterparts in the private sector and provide a potentially crucial 

source of additional revenue to legal aid providers in a year in 

which state and private funding sources are decreasing.

The Marine Mammal Commission and its Committee of Scientific 

Advisors on Marine Mammals are charged with overseeing and advising on domestic and international actions to further the policies 

and provisions of the Marine Mammal Protection Act. The Commission provides objective, science-based advice to the Congress and 

the Executive Branch on issues related to the protection of marine 

mammals. For fiscal year 2010, the Committee recommends 

$3,300,000, which is $300,000 above the budget request. The Committee further recommends that the Commission continue its global assessment of marine mammals and prepare a summary report 

for Congress prioritizing international research and conservation 

efforts. 

OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES TRADE REPRESENTATIVE

Bill compared with: 

Fiscal Year 2009 enacted ............................................................ +1,054,000 

Fiscal Year 2010 request ............................................................ ............................

The Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) seeks to contribute to U.S. economic growth, competitiveness and prosperity by 

opening markets and reducing trade and investment barriers 

around the world to create new commercial opportunities for U.S. 

goods and services industries, workers, ranchers and farmers. The 

Committee recommendation includes $48,326,000 for the Office of 

the United States Trade Representative (USTR) for fiscal year 

2009, which is $1,054,000 above the fiscal year 2009 level and the 

same as the request. 

The U.S. Trade Representative is a member of the President’s 

Cabinet and serves as the President’s principal trade advisor, negotiator, and spokesperson on trade issues. USTR is part of the Executive Office of the President. Through an interagency structure, 

USTR coordinates trade policy, resolves disagreements, and frames 

issues for presidential decision. The USTR is also the Vice-Chairman of the Overseas Private Investment Corporation, a member of 


rfrederick on PROD1PC67 with HEARING
164 

the Board of the Millennium Challenge Corporation, an ex officio 

member of the Export-Import Bank Board of Directors, and a member of the National Advisory Council on International Monetary 

and Financial Policies. 

Intellectual Property Rights (IPR).—The Committee is aware of 

significant intellectual property issues that infringe on our trading 

relationships with China, Russia and Canada. The Committee encourages USTR to continue to prioritize such issues in bilateral and 

multilateral trade negotiations, and in particular, to provide semiannual reports to the Committee on Russia’s progress in complying 

with intellectual property commitments. 

International Standards.—The Committee directs the USTR to 

ensure that U.S. business interests are fully represented in international standards negotiations. The Committee directs the USTR 

to collaborate with the Department of Commerce, including the National Institute of Standards and Technology, and the State Department to reduce trade barriers to U.S. exports. The Committee 

continues its direction to the USTR to ensure U.S. standards are 

adopted in international negotiations. 

Textiles.—The Committee is aware of concerns about the World 

Trade Organization negotiations concerning textiles and apparel. 

Specifically, the Committee is concerned that the current part of 

tariff reduction negotiations under the Doha Round will result in 

a non-reciprocal arrangement detrimental to United States manufacturers. The Committee believes such negotiations should be consistent with the trade negotiating objectives of the United States 

contained in section 2012 of the Bipartisan Trade Promotion Authority Act of 2002 (19 U.S.C. 3802) and directs to report to the 

Committee within 60 days of enactment of this Act regarding adherence to these objectives. Bill language is included regarding this 

matter.

The State Justice Institute (SJI) is a non-governmental organization that awards grants and undertakes other activities designed 

to improve the administration of justice in State courts. For fiscal 

year 2010, the Committee recommends $5,131,000, which is equal 

to the budget request. 

Grant funding.—The Committee’s recommendation will allow SJI 

to increase grant funding available for each of its five categories of 

major grants. Deficits in State governments across the country will 

likely encourage more State courts to look for outside funding 

sources to support their initiatives, and the Committee is hopeful 

that the increases provided in this bill will allow SJI to meet this 

increased demand for its services.

as approved by Congress, unless the Appropriations Committees of 

both Houses of Congress are notified 15 days in advance; or (9) results from any general savings, including savings from a reduction 

in personnel, which would result in a change in existing programs, 

activities, or projects as approved by Congress unless the Appropriations Committees of both Houses of Congress are notified 15

Section 512 delays the obligations of any receipts deposited into the Crime Victims Fund in excess of $700,000,000 until October 1, 

2010. This language is continued to ensure a stable source of funds 

will remain available for the program, despite inconsistent levels of 

criminal fines deposited annually into the fund. 

Section 513 prohibits the use of Department of Justice funds for 

programs that discriminate against or denigrate the religious beliefs of students participating in such programs. 

Section 514 prohibits the transfer of funds in the Act to any department or agency of the United States Government, except for

DISCLOSURE OF EARMARKS AND CONGRESSIONALLY DIRECTED

SPENDING ITEMS

DIRECTED SPENDING BY CONGRESS AND BY THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH

This bill contains $8.73 billion in grant funding awarded solely 

at the discretion of the Administration, and $57 million in funding 

requested by the President for specific projects. In addition to placing a one year moratorium on earmarks in appropriations bills enacted in 2007 so that new rules could be put in place, the Committee has subsequently taken unprecedented action to increase 

transparency and reduce funding for earmarks. This bill continues 

to further reduce earmarks in 2010, by 3 percent below 2009. In 

this bill since 2006, the total funding earmarked has been reduced 

by 52 percent. This year earmarked funding will equal 1 percent 

of the cost of the bill. It should also be noted that under the policies adopted by the Committee the use of member earmarks awarded to for-profit entities as a functional equivalent of no bid contracts is ended. In cases where the Committee funds an earmark 

designated for a for-profit entity, the Committee includes legislative language requiring the Executive Branch to nonetheless issue 

a request for proposal that gives other entities an opportunity to 

apply and requires the agency to evaluate all bids received and 

make a decision based on merit. This gives the original designee 

an opportunity to be brought to the attention of the agency, but 

with the possibility that an alternative entity may be selected.

ADDITIONAL VIEWS OF JERRY LEWIS AND FRANK R. WOLF 

We commend Chairman Mollohan and Chairman Obey for the 

even-handed and collaborative approach taken in assembling this 

bill providing appropriations for the Departments of Commerce and 

Justice, Science, and Related Agencies for fiscal year 2010. The bill 

includes important increases to programs that represent top national priorities, including counterterrorism, crime fighting, and 

scientific research and education. Both Chairman Mollohan and 

Chairman Obey have been open and responsive to issues and concerns raised by Republican Members and we appreciate their commitment to bipartisanship and regular order during consideration 

of this bill through the Committee process. We urge the majority 

to adhere to an open process as this and other fiscal year 2010 appropriations bills move forward and strongly believe that the Committee should not take actions that unnecessarily restrict the ability of Members to offer amendments, especially through onerous 

pre-printing requirements for floor amendments. 

The allocation given to the Subcommittee is $64.4 billion, which 

is $6.8 billion or 11.7% above 2009, and $197 million below the 

President’s request. We believe that the Subcommittee could have 

met the most pressing funding needs by prioritizing within a lower 

allocation. With this very generous allocation virtually every agency and account in the bill receives a significant increase. This corresponds with the majority’s overall budget blueprint which increases discretionary spending by $77 billion above fiscal year 

2009. Since the Democratic Party took control of Congress, discretionary spending has increased by 41 percent. Non-defense, nonVeterans Affairs discretionary spending has increased by a staggering 85 percent. Spending at this rate is unsustainable, and will 

exacerbate the burden of our deficits and debt, and prolong our economic downturn. As Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke testified to Congress earlier this month, large budget deficits threaten the longterm health of the economy, and restoration of fiscal balance is necessary to restoring and maintaining the confidence of the financial 

markets. 

Materials posted to the Committee website by the Majority suggest that the bill terminates 11 programs and makes reductions to 

33 additional programs. However, this information is misleading. 

Of the 11 listed program terminations, eight were one-time construction or acquisition projects which were completed with fiscal 

year 2009 funds and therefore had no ongoing funding requirements. Another of the program ‘‘terminations’’ was the Pacific 

Coastal Salmon Recovery program. This activity is not terminated 

in the fiscal year 2010 bill. The funding is continued at a reduced 

level under a different account. 

Of the 33 programs identified as ‘‘reduced’’ in the bill, most involve reductions from the request, not from the amount approVerDate Nov 24 2008 06:48 Jun 13, 2009 Jkt 050267 PO 00000 Frm 00280 Fmt 6604 Sfmt 6604 E:\HR\OC\HR149.XXX HR149

priated in fiscal year 2009, and again, many of the so-called reductions represent one-time, non-recurring or phasing-out activities for 

which there is no continuing funding requirement. In fact, within 

the entire list of 33 programs, only four represent ongoing programs where the amount in the fiscal year 2010 bill is less than 

the amount appropriated in fiscal year 2009: the State Criminal 

Alien Assistance Program; NSF’s Advanced Technology Education 

program; Missing and Exploited Children programs; and NIST’s 

maintenance and repair account. 

We commend the Chairman for including in the bill the full request for the salaries and expenses appropriation for the FBI, including an increase of over $400 million in critical counterterrorism 

and other national security programs. The bill also includes a critically important $35 million initiative for FBI and ATF to address 

the problem of violent gangs that plague our communities nationwide. 

While the bill includes more than $600 million above the request 

for State and local law enforcement accounts, the amount for the 

State Criminal Alien Assistance Program (SCAAP) is reduced by 

$100 million from the fiscal year 2009 level of $400 million. It is 

a Federal responsibility to secure the border, yet the burden of 

costs for incarcerating criminal aliens falls overwhelmingly on 

States and localities. The rising costs incurred by local jurisdictions 

to incarcerate undocumented criminal aliens are putting enormous 

pressure on State and local budgets. We hope that, as the bill 

moves forward, SCAAP funding can be restored to at least the fiscal year 2009 level. 

We also commend the Chairman for his initiative to provide increased funding for prisoner re-entry programs at the Federal, 

State and local level. We strongly support efforts to increase work 

opportunities for inmates, and reduce criminal recidivism, as well 

as innovative programs like Drug Courts that provide alternatives 

to the prosecution and incarceration of offenders with substance 

abuse problems. 

The bill funds NASA at $18.2 billion, but freezes funding at the 

current level for Exploration activities pending a blue ribbon 

Human Space Flight Review panel report on future options. This 

represents a cut of more than $560 million to the request. The 

funding level in the bill will not be sufficient to sustain the current 

development schedule for the new generation of Constellation vehicles. In fact, the level in the bill is likely to be inadequate to sustain any option that the Human Space Flight Review panel may 

recommend. Therefore, we look forward to working to ensure that 

the final bill will include sufficient funds to continue the U.S. leadership role in space. 

Finally, the bill includes important language limiting the use of 

funds by the Department to undertake activities related to the closure of the Guantanamo Bay Detention facility. The bill does not 

include the $60 million requested by the administration to support 

these activities, in recognition that the administration has not submitted a plan that details how they will carry out the closure and 

resolve the disposition of individual detainee cases. The bill prohibits the use of funds to release detainees into the United States. 

The bill also prohibits the transfer of detainees to the United

States for detention or prosecution unless the President presents a 

plan to Congress that details the costs and risks. Finally, the bill 

prohibits the use of funds to transfer or release detainees abroad 

unless the President sends a report 30 days in advance that includes an assessment of risk. 

We are deeply concerned by the releases and transfers of detainees by the administration in recent days. The administration continues to withhold information from the Congress and the American public, and appears to be racing to move detainees before the 

will of the Congress can be enacted into law. Director Mueller of 

the FBI recently testified before Congress that bringing detainees 

to the United States, including bringing them here for detention 

and trial, poses risks to national security, including providing financing, radicalizing others and undertaking attacks in the United 

States. Further, the Department of Defense has released findings 

that various former Guantanamo detainees are known to have reengaged in terrorists activity associated with the Al Qaeda network, including facilitating the travel of terrorists into war zones, 

providing funds to Al Qaeda, and supporting and associating with 

known terrorists. This administration appears to be ignoring or disregarding those risks, as detainees are being released and transferred without justification to or oversight by the Congress. 

In conclusion, while we have concerns with the overall spending 

in the bill, and the items mentioned above, we would like to again 

express appreciation to Chairman Mollohan and Chairman Obey 

for their openness and consideration. We are grateful for the cooperative approach, and look forward to working together as the process continues to produce a bill that funds critical national priorities. 

JERRY LEWIS.
