DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE APPROPRIATIONS BILL, 2007 

JUNE 16, 2006.—Committed to the Committee of the Whole House on the State of 

the Union and ordered to be printed 

Mr. YOUNG of Florida, from the Committee on Appropriations, 

submitted the following 

R E P O R T 

together with 

ADDITIONAL VIEWS 

[To accompany H.R. 5631] 

The Committee on Appropriations submits the following report in 

explanation of the accompanying bill making appropriations for the 

Department of Defense, and for other purposes, for the fiscal year 

ending September 30, 2007. 

BILL TOTALS

Appropriations for most military functions of the Department of 

Defense are provided for in the accompanying bill for the fiscal 

year 2007. This bill does not provide appropriations for military 

construction, military family housing, civil defense, military nuclear warheads, Basic Allowance for Housing, the Defense Health 

Program, Facilities Sustainment, Restoration, and Modernization 

(FSRM), or environmental restoration for which requirements are 

considered in connection with other appropriations acts. 

The President’s fiscal year 2007 budget request for activities 

funded in the Department of Defense Appropriations Act totals 

$381,685,795,000 in new budget obligational authority for the base 

military bill. The amounts recommended by the Committee in the 

accompanying bill total $377,613,118,000 in new budget authority. 

This is $4,072,677,000 below the budget estimate, and 

$19,070,461,000 above the sums made available for the Department of Defense for fiscal year 2006, excluding emergency supplemental funds.

The Committee recommendation also includes appropriations in title IX totaling $50,000,000,000 for contingency operations related 

to the global war on terrorism. These funds are made available consistent with authority contained in section 402 of the concurrent 

resolution on the budget for fiscal year 2007.

COMMITTEE BUDGET REVIEW PROCESS

During its review of the fiscal year 2007 budget, the Subcommittee on Defense held a total of five hearings and five formal 

subcommittee briefings during the period of February 2006 to 

March 2006. Testimony received by the subcommittee totaled 404 

pages of transcript. Approximately twenty percent of the hearings 

were held in open session. Executive (closed) sessions were held 

only when the security classification of the material to be discussed 

presented no alternative. 

INTRODUCTION

For fiscal year 2007, the Committee faces several challenges in 

recommending appropriations for the Department of Defense and 

the intelligence community. First, the President’s budget proposes 

an unorthodox approach to funding two major procurement programs, the F–22 fighter of the Air Force and the DD(X) destroyer 

of the Navy. In both cases, the budget request includes incremental 

or partial funding, for these two programs. In the case of the F–

22, incremental funding is requested in the middle of the production run. 

The use of incremental funding mortgages the future of the procurement budget of the Defense Department in a manner that is 

not acceptable to the Committee. In addition, the precedent of incremental funding for these programs could be applied to a variety 

of other procurements, leading to a loss of budget transparency and 

reducing the ability to perform oversight. Therefore, the recommendations in this bill include full funding for one DD(X) destroyer and the F–22 fighter program. Funding of $2,568,111,000 is recommended to complete full funding of one DD(X) vessel. This is the same level as the funding request for this item, but under the President’s budget these funds 

would have been allocated on an incremental basis against two 

ships. In the case of the F–22, the Committee has added 

$1,400,000,000 to fully procure 20 additional aircraft. In combination with the section 302(b) allocation for the Subcommittee on Defense, which is $4,000,000,000 below the President’s request, this 

has necessitated difficult tradeoffs within the budget for the Department of Defense generally and the Air Force specifically. However, providing full funding for these programs this year avoids 

more difficult choices in the years ahead. 

Second, the continuing high tempo of operations in the global 

war on terror, including increased fuel costs, and the need to ensure that funding for war operations does not cause a detrimental 

impact on activities and training in the Continental United States 

has resulted in an increase in operation and maintenance requirements for the Armed Forces. Within the allocation available to the 

Subcommittee on Defense, the Committee recommendation includes $120,541,265,000 for the Operation and maintenance accounts, an increase of $6,107,871,000 or approximately five percent 

over the fiscal year 2006 level, excluding supplemental appropriations. In addition, within title IX the Committee recommendation 

includes $37,409,426,000 for Operation and maintenance accounts, 

an increase of $4,191,578,000 over the amount provided in title IX 

in fiscal year 2006.

Third, the Committee recommendation includes $81,781,819,000 

for procurement, an increase of $6,007,796,000 over the funds provided in fiscal 2006, excluding supplemental appropriations. However, this level is $1,137,683,000 below the President’s request, reflecting the budget constraints imposed by the Subcommittee budget allocation. As part of its regular oversight responsibilities, the 

Committee reviewed the status of major procurement items and 

made recommendations for adjustments in funding levels based on 

program slippage, contracting problems, and other changes to the 

status of such procurements. 

Fourth, to ensure that the United States military of tomorrow 

can continue to operate in an environment of technological superiority, the Committee recommendation includes funding for the research, development, test and evaluation accounts of 

$75,336,246,000 an increase $2,180,238,000 above the President’s

request and $3,925,342,000 above the fiscal year 2006 level, excluding supplemental appropriations. 

Fifth, the President’s budget proposes, and the Committee recommendations accept, the shift of the Army modularity restructuring program from supplemental funding to the base budget. 

This results in a requirement to accommodate approximately 

$6,100,000,000 for modularity within the amount available to the 

Committee for this bill. 

Finally, in title IX the Committee is recommending 

$50,000,000,000 in additional appropriations as a six month bridge 

until full-year appropriations become available to support the operating costs associated with the global war on terror, including Operations Iraqi Freedom, Enduring Freedom, and Noble Eagle. 

These funds are intended to cover the costs of combat operations 

for the first 6 months of fiscal year 2007, thereby avoiding a potential interruption in funding which would have an adverse impact 

on our troops in the field. The concurrent resolution on the budget 

for fiscal year 2007 designates $50,000,000,000 for such purposes. 

The authorization of appropriations for similar activities is also 

contained in the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 

Year 2007 (H.R. 5122), which passed the House of Representatives 

on May 11, 2006, by a vote of 396–31.

The Committee recommendation represents a balanced approach 

to the requirements of the Armed Forces, and ensures continued 

support for our men and women in uniform overseas. 

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS BY MAJOR CATEGORY

ACTIVE AND RESERVE MILITARY PERSONNEL

The Committee recommends a total of $84,914,949,000 for active, 

Reserve and Guard military personnel, a decrease of 

$1,173,165,000 below the budget request. The Committee supports 

the budget request which proposed an increase in basic pay for all 

personnel by 2.2 percent, effective January 1, 2007, and agrees 

with the authorized end strength levels as requested for active 

duty and Selected Reserve personnel. The Committee also recommends restoring military personnel and operation and maintenance funds for the Army Reserve and Army National Guard that 

were reduced in the budget request below authorized levels.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

In title II of the bill, the Committee recommends a total of 

$120,541,265,000 for operation and maintenance support to the 

military services and other Department of Defense entities, a reduction of $1,908,145,000 from the fiscal year 2007 budget request, 

and an increase of $6,107,871,000 above the amount appropriated 

for fiscal year 2006. 

The Committee’s recommendation fully funds the President’s request for readiness training in flying hours and ground forces operational tempo training. The Committee recommends additional 

funds to restore Navy steaming day readiness to the goal of 51 deployed days per quarter. Requests for unit and depot level maintenance program funding have been fully supported. Funds not needed for home station activities due to units being deployed for military operations in Afghanistan and Iraq have been realigned for 

support of continuing combat and peacekeeping operations in Afghanistan and Iraq. 

In addition, the Committee has provided additional operating account funding to address many of the Department’s shortfalls. 

Funds have been added for individual soldier and Marine field 

equipment, general purpose tents and mobility shelters, improvements in control of logistics systems, enhanced training capabilities, foreign language training, training on urbanized terrain, military and civilian safety, education programs, and distance learning.

FORCES TO BE SUPPORTED

DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY

The fiscal year 2007 budget request is designed to support the 

Active Component Army’s continuing transformation to a Modular 

Design that will total 3 Modular Theater Army Headquarters, 7 

Modular Division Headquarters, 36 Active Brigade Combat Teams 

and 32 Active Support Brigades by the end of fiscal year 2007 and 

forces yet to be transformed consisting of 3 Division Headquarters 

and 6 additional Brigade Combat Teams. The Army Reserve Component Modular Force will also continue transformation efforts in 

fiscal year 2007 that will total 6 Modular Division Headquarters, 

25 Brigade Combat Teams and 28 Support Brigades (4 USAR) by 

the end of fiscal year 2007 and forces yet to be transformed consisting of 2 Division Headquarters and 9 separate brigades. These 

forces provide the minimum force necessary to meet enduring defense needs and execute the National Military Strategy.

TITLE I 

MILITARY PERSONNEL 

PROGRAMS AND ACTIVITIES FUNDED BY MILITARY PERSONNEL

APPROPRIATIONS

The President’s fiscal year 2007 budget request continues to increase funding for military pay and allowances, recruiting and retention incentives, and overall quality of life programs for active 

duty and Guard and Reserve personnel. The budget request proposed an increase in basic pay for all personnel by 2.2 percent, effective January 1, 2007, and expanded targeted pay for warrant officers and senior enlisted personnel. The Committee supports the 

enhancements to recruiting, retention, military pay and increased 

benefits for Guard and Reserve personnel for fiscal year 2007.

The fiscal year 2007 budget request includes a decrease of 35,200 

end strength for the active forces and a decrease of approximately 

5,700 end strength for the selected reserve over fiscal year 2006 authorized levels. 

The Committee recommends the following levels highlighted in

ADJUSTMENTS TO MILITARY PERSONNEL ACCOUNT

OVERVIEW

END STRENGTH ADJUSTMENTS

The Committee recommends the requested end strength levels as 

proposed in the budget request for active and Reserve components. 

The Committee recommends a total increase of $556,500,000 for 

the Army Reserve and Army National Guard military personnel 

and operation and maintenance appropriations to restore funds 

that were reduced in the budget request for these two components 

on the basis of their current (as opposed to authorized) end 

strength levels. The Committee is aware that the budget funds the 

baseline military end strength for active duty personnel and plans 

to seek additional funds for increases in end strength above the 

levels provided for in the budget request in a supplemental request. 

The Committee addresses these additional manpower expenses in 

title IX of the bill. 


HMOORE on PROD1PC68 with HMRPT

ACCURACY OF OBLIGATIONS

The Committee recommends a reduction of $748,140,000 to the 

budget request, based on the Government Accountability Office 

(GAO) analysis of prior year unexpended military personnel account balances. The Services’ accounting data continue to show a 

pattern of under executing their appropriated funds. The Committee believes the military personnel budget requests for fiscal 

year 2007 are overstated and can be reduced. 

GUARD AND RESERVE COST AVOIDANCE

The Committee recommends a reduction of $98,210,000 to the 

budget request for the Guard and Reserve fiscal year 2007 military 

personnel accounts. The Government Accountability Office (GAO) 

found that updated monthly strength data, when compared to the 

monthly strength data in the fiscal year 2007 budget, had strength 

levels lower than budgeted. 

RECRUITING INCENTIVES

The Department of Defense’s military reserve components have 

initiated programs that provide cash incentives to current members 

who identify and aid in enlisting new recruits. While these programs have enhanced recruiting efforts, the potential for the misuse of cash incentives exists. The Committee believes the Department must exercise rigorous oversight of these incentive programs 

to ensure that funds are being used effectively and for the purposes 

intended. In this regard, the Committee directs the Department of 

Defense Inspector General to provide a report to the congressional 

defense committees that describes these cash incentive programs 

and the safeguards and oversight procedures implemented by the 

military components, and recommends additional oversight and accounting practices that should be implemented if warranted. This 

report shall be submitted not later than February 1, 2007. 

FULL-TIME SUPPORT STRENGTHS

There are four categories of full-time support in the Guard and 

Reserve components: civilian technicians, active Guard and Reserve 

(AGR), non-technician civilians, and active component personnel. 

Full-time support personnel organize, recruit, train, maintain 

and administer the Reserve components. Civilian (Military) technicians directly support units, and are very important to help units 

maintain readiness and meet the wartime mission of the Army and 

Air Force. 

Full-time support end strength in all categories totaled 158,149 

in fiscal year 2006. The fiscal year 2007 budget request is 158,401 

end strength. The following table summarizes Guard and Reserve 

full-time support end strengths:

TITLE II 

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE 

The fiscal year 2007 budget request for programs funded in title 

II of the Committee bill, Operation and Maintenance, is 

$122,449,410,000 in new budget authority, which is an increase of 

$8,016,016,000 above the amount appropriated for fiscal year 2006. 

The accompanying bill recommends $120,541,265,000 for fiscal 

year 2007, which is an increase of $6,107,871,000 above the 

amount appropriated for fiscal year 2006, and $1,908,145,000 less 

than the request for fiscal year 2007. These appropriations finance 

the costs of operating and maintaining the Armed Forces, including 

the reserve components and related support activities of the Department of Defense (DoD), except military personnel and facilities 

sustainment, restoration and modernization costs. Included are pay 

for civilians, services for maintenance of equipment and, fuel, supplies, and spare parts for weapons and equipment. Financial requirements are influenced by many factors, including force levels 

such as the number of aircraft squadrons, Army and Marine Corps 

divisions, installations, military personnel strength and deployments, rates of operational activity, and the quantity and complexity of equipment such as aircraft, ships, missiles and tanks in 

operation.

The table below summarizes the Committee’s recommendations.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OVERVIEW 

The President’s fiscal year 2007 budget request for the base 

budget represents an increase of $8,016,016,000 above fiscal year 

2006 in Title II, Operation and Maintenance, exclusive of supplemental funding provided for continuation of military operations in 

Afghanistan and Iraq. The Administration’s request for fiscal year 

2007 also assumes $50,000,000,000 in funding for the continuation 

of the global war on terror, but the Committee has not yet received 

a detailed justification nor a formal request. The Committee has allocated funding among various appropriations accounts in title IX 

of this bill to ensure continued full support for our forces operating 

in the combat zones. The Committee has provided $50,000,000,000 

to ensure that funds are available to fully support the operating, 

personnel support, maintenance, transportation, and other wartime 

costs of the services, including purchase of all necessary force protection equipment. The funds provided in title IX will support continuation of operations for the first six months of fiscal year 2007, 

and will ensure that critical base operating and maintenance accounts need not be diverted to support the war effort. 

The budget request for normal peacetime funding in title II 

would sustain flying hours, ship steaming and ground operating 

tempo at approximately fiscal year 2006 levels. The funding requested in Operation and Maintenance, Army supports a total of 

42 combat brigades by the end of fiscal year 2007. Operation and 

Maintenance, Navy supports 10 active carrier air wings and 1,479 

primary authorized aircraft, 285 ships, including 11 aircraft carriers, 52 nuclear attack submarines and 18 missile submarines. 

The Navy’s Fleet Response Plan continues in 2007 with the goal of 

increasing availability of naval assets for duty worldwide. Increased funding for flying hours and ship operations primarily reflects increased cost of fuel. The Air Force flying hour program provides the funding necessary to maintain basic flying skills, and 

pilot development and production, and to provide trained aircrews 

to joint forces combatant commanders through ten aerospace expeditionary forces. 

The Committee has fully supported the peacetime requirements 

of the military services for readiness training in flying hours, ship 

steaming and ground forces OPTEMPO training. Equipment maintenance and base support programs have been robustly resourced, 

including support for anti-terrorism and force protection efforts. 

Funding is included to support a pay increase of 2.2 percent for 

civilian employees, the same level provided for military personnel. 

The budget request provides for the continued conversion of selected billets from military to civilian workers in all the services, 

in order to return military personnel from administrative duties to 

combat and combat support units. 

RECOMMENDATIONS TO ADDRESS SHORTFALLS

Despite the robust funding in operation and maintenance accounts requested for fiscal year 2007, budget justifications and additional briefing material indicate that a certain degree of risk has 

been taken in some areas. For example, the budget request for the 

Navy’s ship steaming day program is 36 deployed days per quarter, 


HMOORE on PROD1PC68 with HMRPT
46

which falls short of the goal of 51 deployed days per quarter. The 

Committee recommended funding level restores funding so that the 

Navy can reach its steaming day goal. The Committee has also provided additional operating account funding to assist in addressing 

many of the Department’s shortfalls. Funds have been added for individual soldier and Marine field equipment, general purpose tents 

and mobility shelters, improvements in control of logistics systems, 

enhanced training capabilities, foreign language training, training 

on urbanized terrain, military and civilian safety, education programs, and distance learning. 

The Committee has identified spending that does not directly 

support readiness or was not adequately justified and has moved 

those funds to programs that more directly support readiness goals. 

THE EFFECTS OF REBASING

The unprecedented combination of Army transformation, the 

base closure process, and the Integrated Global Presence and Basing Strategy (IGPBS) will shift thousands of military and DOD civilian personnel to new communities nationwide. The Committee is 

concerned about the effect these rebasing and relocation actions 

will have on communities, particularly their local school districts 

and economic infrastructure. Therefore, the Committee directs the 

Government Accountability Office (GAO) to assess the combined, 

incremental economic impact of DoD’s base closure, Army transformation, and IGPSB initiatives on those military installations undergoing major realignments by receiving significant numbers of 

new personnel. This GAO analysis should include information regarding, but not limited to, the projected number and percentage 

increase in student enrollment, and the economic impact which 

may result from increased student enrollment. The GAO is encouraged to work with relevant Federal, state, and local agencies to develop its findings. The Committee intends to work with the GAO 

to define the specific parameters and process for this analysis, 

which shall be provided to the Committee not later than February 

15, 2007. 

INCREASING COSTS OF OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

The Committee remains concerned about the increasing costs of 

operating our military forces. Over the years, higher operation and 

maintenance costs have resulted from the aging of our military infrastructure and equipment, and replacing legacy weapons systems 

with more technically sophisticated platforms. This trend, however, 

may have been exacerbated by efforts to contract out to the private 

sector a substantial portion of the military services’ logistics and 

support activities. To gain better insight about the costs and consequences of contracting out as well as other factors generating an 

increase in operation and maintenance costs, the Committee directs 

Government Accountability Office (GAO) to prepare a comprehensive analysis of contracting out logistic, maintenance, and support 

activities that, heretofore, had been conducted by uniformed personnel, as well as other factors that may be driving an increase in 

such costs. This analysis shall cover the period fiscal years 1995–

2005, include case studies comparing the costs of military and private sector performance on specific programs, and be submitted to 


HMOORE on PROD1PC68 with HMRPT
47

the congressional defense committees not later than April 15, 2007. 

The Committee intends to work with GAO to define the scope, design, and focus of the analysis. 

EQUIPMENT RECAPITALIZATION

The Committee continues to provide substantial resources to support the services’ equipment recapitalization requirements, particularly given the stress to equipment due to ongoing contingency operations. To address the significant equipment recapitalization requirements, the Committee has included the full budget requests 

of the military services for depot maintenance, and has provided 

significant funding in title IX of this bill for this purpose. The Committee also supports a ‘‘zero mile/zero hour’’ recapitalization standard, and understands that this standard can reduce a system’s subsequent operating and support costs while enhancing equipment 

capabilities. To the extent feasible, the Committee urges that the 

services adopt a ‘‘zero mile/zero hour’’ standard for equipment recapitalization.

MINORITY OUTREACH

The Committee recognizes the important role that minority 

owned and operated media serve in reaching key segments of the 

public, and the United States’ Hispanic population in particular. 

Given the importance of reaching these communities, the Committee directs the Department of Defense (DoD) to consider these 

media and their constituencies when conducting national campaigns on behalf of the U.S. military. The Committee encourages 

DoD to dedicate the necessary resources to reach these communities through minority owned and operated media. 

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE BUDGET EXECUTION DATA

The Committee directs the Department of Defense to continue to 

provide the congressional defense committees with quarterly budget execution data. Such data should be provided not later than 

forty-five days past the close of each quarter for the fiscal year, and 

should be provided for each O–1 budget activity, activity group, 

and subactivity group for each of the active, defense-wide, reserve 

and National Guard components. For each O–1 budget activity, activity group, and subactivity group, these reports should include 

the budget request and actual obligations; the DoD distribution of 

unallocated congressional adjustments to the budget request; all 

adjustments made by DoD during the process of rebaselining the 

operation and maintenance accounts; all adjustments resulting 

from below threshold reprogrammings; and all adjustments resulting from prior approval reprogramming requests. 

In addition, the Committee requires that the Department of Defense provide semiannual written notifications to the congressional 

defense committees, which summarize Operation and Maintenance 

budget execution, to include the effect of rebaselining procedures, 

other below threshold reprogrammings, and prior approval 

reprogrammings. The Committee further directs that the Department of Defense provide the House of Representatives and Senate 

Committees on Appropriations written notification 30 days prior to 


HMOORE on PROD1PC68 with HMRPT
48

executing procedures to rebaseline Operation and Maintenance accounts.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE REPROGRAMMINGS

The Committee directs that proposed transfers of funds between O–1 budget activities in excess of $15,000,000 be subject to normal 

prior approval reprogramming procedures. In the Operation and 

Maintenance, Defense-wide account, the Committee directs that 

proposed transfers of funds between agencies in excess of 

$15,000,000 be subject to prior approval reprogramming procedures. Items for which funds have been specifically provided in any 

appropriation in the report using phrases ‘‘only for’’ and ‘‘only to’’

are Congressional interest items for the purpose of the Base for Reprogramming (DD form 1414). Each of these items must be carried 

on the DD1414 at the stated amount, or revised amount if changed 

during conference or if otherwise specifically addressed in the conference report. In addition, due to continuing concerns about force 

readiness and the diversion of Operation and Maintenance funds, 

the Committee directs the Department of Defense to provide written notification to the congressional defense committees for the cumulative value of any and all transfers in excess of $15,000,000 

from the following budget activities and subactivity group categories:

Operation and maintenance, Army 

Operating Forces: Divisions, Corps combat forces, Corps support 

forces, Echelon above Corps support forces, Land forces operations 

support, Land forces systems readiness, and Land forces depot

apparent in Iraq and Afghanistan, but also affects Global War on 

Terror missions around the world, particularly in Southeast Asia. 

In an effort to enhance servicemembers’ language skills, the Committee has provided an additional $2,300,000 to complete the acquisition of 550 small language labs at the Defense Language Institute (DLI). This funding will complete the DLI upgrade for which

NPS LABORATORY MODERNIZATION

Modern engineering laboratories are essential to ensure that the 

Naval Postgraduate School’s (NPS) students can analyze future 

warfighting technologies, and gain the education needed to apply 

those technologies to meet emerging U.S. defense requirements. 

Yet, NPS laboratories are outdated, having last been recapitalized 

in 1986. To address this issue, the Committee provides an additional $10,000,000 under this heading to modernize NPS’ laboratories and related science and engineering library holdings. The 

Committee anticipates that the Department of the Navy will susVerDate Aug 31 2005 04:28 Jun 17, 2006 Jkt 028117 PO 00000 Frm 00066 Fmt 6601 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\HR504.XXX HR504

DEFENSE SECURITY SERVICE

The Committee believes that the timely processing of industry 

Personnel Security Investigations (PSIs) is fundamental to the protection of our national security assets, and provides an additional 

$10,000,000 above the President’s request for the Defense Security 

Service (DSS) to ensure that the defense industrial base will continue to properly serve the Department of Defense without interruption or other impediment. 

The Committee notes that the DSS experienced a significant 

budget shortfall during fiscal year 2006 forcing the Department of 

Defense (DoD) to abruptly halt the processing of thousands of contractor PSI requests. The shortfall has exposed a budget process 

that appears fundamentally flawed and will likely continue unless 

the following factors can be avoided: 

1. each budget submission is routinely devoid of PSI projections from the 23 other federal agencies on whose behalf the 

DSS administers the National Industrial Security Program for 

each fiscal year; 

2. a six-month lag between the February budget submission 

and August rate adjustments by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) inhibits reliable budgeting for the sizable premiums and surcharges that OPM may charge for each PSI; 

3. unanticipated resubmissions of PSI requests (approximately 45,000 in fiscal year 2006); and 

4. costly adjustments in the mix of initial secret ($200/investigation) and Top Secret ($3,750/investigation) clearance requests.

The Committee expects the Department of Defense to resolve 

these budgetary problems. Therefore, the Committee directs that 

not later than 90 days after enactment of this Act a report shall 

be submitted to the congressional defense committees that details 

plans to more accurately build future DDS budget submissions.

SPECIAL INTEREST ITEMS

Items for which additional funds have been provided as shown in 

the project level tables or in paragraphs using the phrase ‘‘only for’’

or ‘‘only to’’ in this report are congressional interest items for the 

purpose of the Base for Reprogramming (DD 1414). Each of these 

items must be carried on the DD Form 1414 at the stated amount, 

specifically addressed in the conference report. These items remain 

special interest items whether or not they are repeated in a subsequent conference report. 

REPROGRAMMING GUIDANCE FOR ACQUISITION ACCOUNTS

The Committee directs the Department of Defense to continue to 

follow the reprogramming guidance specified in the report accompanying the House version of the fiscal year 2006 Department of 

Defense Appropriations bill (H.R. 109–119). Specifically, the dollar 

threshold for reprogramming funds will remain at $20,000,000 for 

procurement, and $10,000,000 for research, development, test and 

evaluation. The Department shall continue to follow the limitation 

that prior approval reprogrammings are set at either the specified 

dollar threshold or 20% of the procurement or research, development, test and evaluation line, whichever is less. These thresholds 

are cumulative. Therefore, if the combined value of transfers into 

or out of a procurement (P–1) line or research, development, test 

and evaluation (R–1) line exceeds the identified threshold, the Department of Defense must submit a prior approval reprogramming 

to the congressional defense committees. In addition, guidelines on 

the application of prior approval reprogramming procedures for 

congressional special interest items are established elsewhere in 

this report. 

REPROGRAMMING REPORTING REQUIREMENTS

The Committee directs the Under Secretary of the Department 

of Defense, Comptroller, to continue to provide the congressional 

defense committees quarterly, spreadsheet-based DD1416 reports 

for service and defense-wide accounts in Titles III and IV of this 

Act as required in the statement of the managers accompanying 

the conference report on the Department of Defense Act, 2006.

EA–18G AND F/A–18 E/F PROCUREMENT

The Committee recommendation transfers 12 low rate initial production EA–18G aircraft to the F/A–18 E/F production program. 

The current multiyear contract for these two programs requires a 

total of 42 aircraft in fiscal year 2007, but allows flexibility in the 

mix of aircraft ordered. The EA–18G procurement schedule was established several years ago, when the legacy EA–6B fleet was experiencing serious fatigue life issues. Since that time, however, the 

EA–6B’s service life and combat capability have been substantially 

upgraded, allowing more time for the EA–18G’s development program to mature. According to the Government Accountability Office, under the Navy’s current schedule, full capabilities equivalent 

to today’s EA–6B will not be demonstrated until January 2009, 

only three months before the scheduled full production decision. 

About one-third of the total aircraft buy would be approved under 

low rate initial production, which is substantially higher than the 

departmental target of ten percent. Although the EA–18G development program is currently on schedule, the Committee recommendation allows more time for the aircraft to demonstrate critical functionality prior to a full production decision. This decision 

is made without prejudice to the EA–18G program, which the Committee continues to support. The Committee notes that the additional F/A–18 aircraft procured with these funds are on the Navy’s

Unfunded Program Requirements List, and are needed to address 

Global War on Terror losses and inventory shortfalls. The Committee recommendation results in a net savings of $143,098,000 

from the budget request. 

PROGRAM RECOMMENDED

The total program recommended in this bill will provide the following in fiscal year 2007:

TORPEDO INVENTORY LEVELS

The Committee is concerned about the adequacy of the Navy’s inventory of lightweight and heavyweight torpedoes to meet current 

and anticipated threats to the year 2020. The Navy has recently 

commissioned the Naval War College to analyze this issue. Consequently, the Committee directs the Navy to submit a report to 

the Congressional defense committees, not later than March 1, 

2007, comparing the current and projected inventories of torpedoes 

to the required levels, and presenting a plan to address any inventory shortfalls. 

SONOBUOY INVENTORY LEVELS

The Committee is concerned about the adequacy of the Navy’s inventory of sonobuoys to meet current and anticipated threats to the 

year 2020. The Committee directs the Navy to submit a report to 

the Congressional defense committees, not later than March 1, 

2007, comparing the current and projected inventories of sonobuoys 

to the required levels, and presenting a plan to address any inventory shortfalls. The report should specify current and planned annual usage rates for the various sonobuoy classes, for both training 

and operational purposes.

FIVE INCH/54 MILLIMETER AMMUNITION

The Committee recommends $29,947,000 for the procurement of 

Five Inch/54 Millimeter Ammunition, an increase of $5,400,000 

above the budget request. The decision in the 2005 BRAC process 

to close the Riverbank Army Ammunition Plant will result in a 

shutdown of production for 5/54mm ammunition for at least three 

years, because the only deep draw presses in the United States capable of producing cartridge cases for this ammunition are located 

at Riverbank. The Navy had planned to utilize war reserve stocks 

if necessary, or reduce training, during the time of the shutdown. 

The Committee does not believe it prudent to reduce training or deplete the war reserve stocks over such an extended period. To 

maintain current training levels and an adequate war reserve, the 

Committee recommendation provides funds for the production of 

additional cartridge cases to fill the gap during the closure of the 

Riverbank facility.

This appropriation provides funds for the construction of new 

ships and the purchase and conversion of existing ships, including 

hull, mechanical and electrical equipment, electronics, guns, torpedo and missile launching systems, and communication systems. 

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

The Committee recommends an appropriation of $10,491,653,000 for Shipbuilding and Conversion, Navy, which is $1,554,694,000 

more than the amount provided in fiscal year 2006 and $86,900,000 

less than the request for fiscal year 2007. In addition, the bill includes rescissions of prior year appropriations totaling $26,245,000. 

The following report and project level tables provide a summary of 

the Committee’s recommendation.

THIRTY YEAR SHIPBUILDING PLAN

The Committee is pleased that the Navy has put stronger priority this year on the need for a robust and stable shipbuilding program. The fiscal year 2007 budget included funds for 7 new ships, 

compared to only 4 last year. The future years defense plan includes funds for 51 new ships between fiscal years 2007 and 2011, 

compared to 45 ships in last year’s plan. The Navy has stated a requirement for 313 force level ships to meet the projected naval 

threat in the year 2020. Under the Navy’s current plan, that level 

is reached in the year 2012 and sustained until 2026. 

Despite these improvements, the Committee believes that the viability of the Navy’s long range plan will remain tied to the service’s ability to control costs in ship design and construction. Navy 

leadership agrees that cost control is essential, but the Navy has 

produced no plan or initiatives to meet the cost targets assumed in 

the long range shipbuilding plan. Furthermore, the recent history 

of ongoing shipbuilding programs indicates the trend in cost growth 

may be getting worse, and not better. The Committee encourages 

the Navy to set firm cost targets in its future shipbuilding programs, to develop specific initiatives addressing cost control, and to 

sign contracts that reduce the likelihood of cost growth. 

DD(X) DESTROYER

The Committee recommends $2,568,111,000 for the procurement 

of 1 DD(X) destroyer. The budget requested $2,568,111,000 to incrementally fund 2 ships, with the balance of funding to be provided in fiscal year 2008. The Committee cannot support such a 

far-reaching policy change which has implications beyond the 

Navy’s shipbuilding program. Further, the Navy’s proposal requires 

special legislative authority to be executed, and this authority is 

not included in the House-passed National Defense Authorization 

Act, 2007 (H.R. 5122). 

ATTACK SUBMARINE PROCUREMENT RATE

The Navy currently procures Virginia class submarines at the inefficient rate of one ship per year under a multiyear contract. Individual submarines are built in sections in three different shipyards 

in three different states. Over 90 percent of the sub-vendor base is 

constituted by single suppliers, many under sole source contracts. 

The Navy’s plan to increase the procurement rate to two ships per 

year would cut unit cost, but the plan has been deferred many 

times due to budget constraints. Currently, two submarines per 

year is planned for fiscal year 2012. Although the Committee acknowledges the problem created by this situation, accelerating the 

higher production rate would cause significant instabilities in the 

Navy’s outyear shipbuilding program, requiring the service to add 

as much as $7,000,000,000 in additional resources over the future 

years defense program (FYDP) or cut other programs. Because of 

this long-term uncertainty, the Committee bill does not include 

funding to accelerate the higher production rate at this time. 


HMOORE on PROD1PC68 with HMRPT

PRIOR YEAR SHIPBUILDING COSTS

The Committee remains concerned over the lack of cost control 

in Navy shipbuilding programs. In last year’s report, the Committee noted the rising cost growth in ongoing ship construction 

contracts, and required the Navy to submit a plan on resolving 

these issues. That report was submitted two months late, and was 

little more than a summary of cost overruns in shipbuilding over 

the past two decades. The Committee is concerned about the gap 

between the Navy’s public statements about the need for firm cost 

controls, and the programmatic and contractual actions needed to 

accomplish that objective. Navy briefings this year document a litany of programs, including the CVN–77 aircraft carrier and certain 

attack submarines of the Virginia class, that continue to defy attempts to control costs. The Navy estimates an overrun of 

$867,900,000 over the next 3 years alone in the CVN–77 production 

effort. These funds cannot be obligated without Congressional legislation to raise the current cost cap on the program—a cap that was 

put in place several years ago to control costs. The fiscal year 2007 

budget requests $136,000,000 for further cost growth in the U.S.S. 

Texas (SSN–775), and cost performance on the U.S.S. North Carolina (SSN–777) is seriously below Navy expectations. In fact, current cost performance on the Virginia class jeopardizes the ability 

of the Navy to meet the performance goals of the multiyear contract signed in 2004 as well as cost targets needed to increase the 

submarine production rate in future years. The Committee is unwilling to provide increased appropriations for cost overruns in the 

absence of compelling justification or a realistic and detailed plan 

for cost control. The Committee recommendation provides 

$436,449,000 for Completion of Prior Year Shipbuilding Programs, 

a reduction of $141,400,000 from the request. The reduction should 

be allocated against the following programs: CVN–77

(¥$30,000,000); SSN–777 (¥$48,000,000); SSN–776

(¥$10,000,000); SSN–775 (¥$10,000,000); and the LPD–17 class 

(¥$43,400,000).

PROGRAM RECOMMENDED

spare parts. 

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

The Committee recommends an appropriation of $5,022,005,000 for Other Procurement, Navy, which is $367,844,000 less than the 

amount provided in fiscal year 2006 and $54,089,000 more than the

WEAPONS RANGE SUPPORT EQUIPMENT

The Committee defers the $19,164,000 requested for Project 

SC012, Shallow Water Training Range. This project includes funding for the proposed new East Coast Undersea Warfare Training 

Range (USWTR) as well as shallow water upgrades to ranges on 

the West Coast. The Committee notes that the USWTR draft environmental impact statement received 1,700 comments which must 

be resolved by the Navy, including significant concerns expressed 

by federal agencies including the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The Committee believes it likely that resolution of these comments will cause delays in the USWTR program, 

allowing these funds to be used for higher priority activities during 

fiscal year 2007. 

COMBAT SURVIVOR EVADER LOCATOR RADIO

The Committee recommends a reduction of $10,000,000 for Navy 

acquisition of the Combat Survivor Evader Locator (CSEL) radio 

due to continued technical problems. Technical difficulties continue 

in this program many years after they began, and it is clear from 

the December 2005 Annual Report of the Director, Operational 

Test and Evaluation that much development and operational assessment remains to be done. The Committee directs the Office of 

the Secretary of Defense, with the assistance of the Director, Operational Test and Evaluation, to develop a plan for resolving issues 

in the CSEL program and for effective transition and fielding to 

the individual services, including the Navy. The funding of 

$5,494,000 provided in this appropriation for the CSEL program 

should be used for the procurement of legacy radio systems to serve 

as a gap filler until CSEL is ready for production.

This appropriation provides for the procurement of aircraft, and 

for modification of in-service aircraft to improve safety and enhance 

operational effectiveness. It also provides for initial spares and 

other support equipment to include aerospace ground equipment 

and industrial facilities. In addition, funds are provided for the procurement of flight training simulators to increase combat readiness 

and to provide for more economical training. 

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

The Committee recommends an appropriation of $11,852,467,000 

for Aircraft Procurement, Air Force which is $757,375,000 less than 

the amount provided in fiscal year 2006 and $372,657,000 more 

than the request for fiscal year 2007.

F–22 INCREMENTAL FUNDING

The budget request proposes to incrementally fund the F–22

fighter procurement program. This proposal is contrary to the full 

funding requirement the Congress has required for aircraft procurement programs. The Department of Defense presented the 

Committee with essentially two options—agree to incremental 

funding, or find $1,400,000,000 in savings from other programs to 

fully fund F–22 procurement. The Committee has chosen the latter 

option and recommends an additional $1,400,000,000 for the procurement of 20 F–22 aircraft in fiscal year 2007. In making these 

changes and providing the additional funds, the Committee is reiterating the long standing requirement for full funding of major 

weapon system procurements. 

JOINT STRIKE FIGHTER

The Committee recommends $729,700,000, for Joint Strike Fighter procurement, which is $140,000,000 and one aircraft below the 

request for fiscal year 2007. The Committee has provided full funding for four Air Force conventional take-off and landing (CTOL) aircraft and advance procurement for four Air Force CTOL aircraft 

and four Navy short take-off and vertical landing (STOVL) aircraft. 

The Committee recommends a reduction in advance procurement 

funds of $72,000,000, and four CTOL variants, and $120,000,000 

and four STOVL variants below the request for fiscal year 2007. 

In making these recommendations, the Committee notes its concerns that the Joint Strike Fighter program will be unable to keep 

the aggressive development and test aircraft production schedule 

currently planned. Recent indicators of performance validate these 

concerns. While the program has had a number of successes in 

preparation for the first flight of the first test article, plans for that 

flight have been delayed nearly three months with the potential for 

even longer delays. In addition, the program has already begun to 

experience delays in the manufacturing of the other 22 test aircraft. A recent re-plan of the test article production schedule has 

the next eleven aircraft in the production line delayed anywhere 

from five to eleven months when compared to last year’s schedule. 

C–17 PROCUREMENT

The Committee has provided an additional $798,000,000 in title 

IX of the bill for the procurement of 3 C–17 aircraft. The funds are 

provided for procurement of aircraft to address the extensive utilization and attrition of mobility assets since September 2001 caused 

by the global war on terror. The Committee notes that funds were 

provided in the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2006, 

for advance procurement of additional C–17 aircraft beyond the 180 

currently on contract. The Committee expects that these funds will 

be made available for the procurement of the 3 additional aircraft 

provided for in this legislation. 

The budget request for fiscal year 2007 assumes the shutdown of 

the C–17 production line and includes funding for costs associated 

with the line closure. Shutdown funds are not required and the request has been reduced accordingly. 


HMOORE on PROD1PC68 with HMRPT
164

GLOBAL HAWK

The Committee recommends $341,288,000 for Global Hawk pro- curement, which is $44,824,000 more than the amount provided in 

fiscal year 2006, and $88,000,000 less than the request for fiscal 

year 2007. 

The Committee continues to note program delays in the production of Global Hawk aircraft. These delays are understandable due 

to the high operational tempo of limited aircraft assets, operators, 

maintainers, and spare parts all supporting the global war on terror. However, these facts should be considered in the production 

schedule and subsequent budget request. 

An analysis of aircraft deliveries shows Lots 2 through 4 aircraft 

will be delayed five to twelve months with no delays occurring in 

Lots 5 and 6. The Committee finds this unrealistic. In fact, in response to questions from the Committee regarding the timeliness 

of the request for fiscal year 2007 funds, the Air Force responded 

that ‘‘from a purely fiscal perspective, the program funding appears 

to be early to need for 1–2 aircraft in the FY07 budget.’’ Accordingly, the Committee has reduced the request by two aircraft and 

$88,000,000. In addition, the Committee has reduced the request 

for advance procurement by $18,000,000 and two aircraft. This will 

allow the program to ramp up from fiscal year 2007 to fiscal year 

2008 at a more realistic rate given recent program performance. 

F–15 ACTIVE ELECTRONICALLY SCANNED ARRAY RADARS

The Committee recommends $149,901,000 for F–15 modifications, which is $72,966,000 less than the amount provided in fiscal 

year 2006, and $57,000,000 more than the request for fiscal year 

2007. The additional funds provided shall be for the procurement 

of APG–63(V)3 radars for the Air National Guard F–15s. Funds 

have also been included in Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Air Force, to continue radar development and demonstration for improved capabilities. 

C–17 AND AESA RADAR PROCUREMENT

The Committee has rescinded prior year funds for the procurement of additional F–15E aircraft. These funds had been provided 

to prevent a gap in the production line which is dependent on foreign military sales. Due to recent production orders, these funds 

are excess to need. Accordingly, the Committee recommends the rescission of $172,000,000. As noted elsewhere in this report, these 

funds have been reallocated to address the requirement for procurement of additional C–17 aircraft and to procure active electronically scanned array (AESA) radars for F–15 aircraft. 

TANKER REPLACEMENT—KC–X ADVANCE PROCUREMENT

The Committee recommends no funding for advance procurement 

of KC–X aircraft, a reduction of $36,130,000 below the request for 

fiscal year 2007. 

The Committee continues to strongly support development and 

acquisition of a replacement for the Air Force’s aging KC–135 tanker fleet. To this end, the Committee has fully funded the request 

in Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Air Force for the 


HMOORE on PROD1PC68 with HMRPT
165

KC–135 Tanker Replacement Program. However, the Air Force has 

communicated to the Committee that advance procurement funds 

are early to need as the development program for the KC–135

tanker replacement only recently received authority to resume the 

acquisition process and issue a Request for Information. The Committee notes that should there be a requirement for procurement 

funds in fiscal year 2007, significant amounts remain available in 

the Tanker Replacement Transfer Fund. 

PREDATOR ROADMAP

The Committee directs the Secretary of the Air Force to submit 

a report to the congressional defense committees on the allocation 

and beddown strategy for MQ–1 and MQ–9 aircraft within the active and reserve components for the period of fiscal year 2006 

through fiscal year 2011. The report shall include funding requirements, unit destinations and planned aircraft inventory, approximate delivery schedule, associated personnel and training, and the 

number of orbits capable. The report shall be submitted by March 

15, 2007. 

C–130 CENTER WING BOX REPLACEMENT

The Committee recommends $190,177,000 for modifications to 

the C–130 fleet, which is $18,956,000 more than the amount provided in fiscal year 2006, and $27,500,000 less than the request for 

fiscal year 2007. 

The Committee is strongly supportive of the ongoing efforts to replace failing center wing boxes. However, there does not appear to 

be sufficient production capability to ramp up from the 4 kits provided in the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2006, to 

the 21 kits in the fiscal year 2007 budget request. Accordingly, the 

Committee has provided funding for eighteen center wing box replacement kits. 

C–32 WINGLET MODIFICATION

The Committee recommends $5,198,000 for C–32 modifications, 

which is $5,006,000 more than the amount provided in fiscal year 

2006, and $5,000,000 more than the request for fiscal year 2007. 

These funds shall be used to install Blended Winglets on the 4 C–

32 aircraft operated by the United States Air Force to demonstrate 

potential fuel savings, and/or increased operating range. Not more 

than one year after the modification of the first C–32 aircraft, the 

Secretary of the Air Force shall submit a report to the congressional defense committees assessing the utility of the winglet and 

making a recommendation if the program should be expanded to 

other types of aircraft. 

T–38 EJECTION SEAT UPGRADE PROGRAM (ESUP)

The Committee notes that the Air Force’s Fiscal Year 2005 Unfunded Priorities List included a high priority recommendation to 

modify a total of 199 T–38 aircraft with the safety and accommodation upgrade for T–38 ejection seats. This upgrade enhances safety 

and provides a career path through the T–38s for smaller and larger students. The Air Force is strongly encouraged to fully fund the

Ejection Seat Upgrade Program for the T–38 fleet in the fiscal year 

2008 budget.

Committee recommendation .............................................................. 3,746,636,000 

Change from budget request ............................................................. ¥457,509,000

This appropriation provides for procurement, installation, and 

checkout of strategic ballistic and other missiles, modification of inservice missiles, and initial spares for missile systems. It also provides for operational space systems, boosters, payloads, drones, associated ground equipment, non-recurring maintenance of industrial facilities, machine tool modernization, and special program 

support.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

The Committee recommends an appropriation of $3,746,636,000 

for Missile Procurement, Air Force which is $1,376,092,000 less 

than the amount provided in fiscal year 2006 and $457,509,000, 

less than the request for fiscal year 2007.

MINUTEMAN III PROPULSION REPLACEMENT PROGRAM

The Committee recommends $625,257,000 for Minuteman III 

modifications, which is $44,610,000 less than the amount provided 

in fiscal year 2006, and $66,400,000 less than the request for fiscal 

year 2007. 

The request included $294,615,000 for procurement of 82 propulsion replacement kits, an increase of 4 kits over the fiscal year 

2006 level. The Committee notes that the program comes to an end 

with the request for 43 kits in fiscal year 2008. The Committee believes that such a steep drawdown is inefficient and has provided 

funds for only 62 kits in fiscal year 2007. The remaining kits may 

be included in the fiscal year 2008 request to provide for a more 

efficient production rate. 

EVOLVED EXPENDABLE LAUNCH VEHICLE (EELV)

The budget requests $936,490,000 for EELV, including 

$275,094,000 for launch services and $546,251,000 for launch capability and infrastructure. The Committee notes that the launches 

for GPS IIF vehicles six and seven have been delayed sufficiently 

to preclude procurement of the launch vehicles in fiscal year 2007. 

Additionally, the Committee is not yet convinced that the program 

has reached the proper balance of risk and return for the funds 

proposed to be spent for launch capability and infrastructure. 

Therefore, the Committee recommends $692,290,000 for EELV, reductions of $134,100,000 and $110,000,000, respectively, for launch 

services and launch capability and infrastructure. 

Additionally, the Committee is concerned about the current acquisition strategy for the Buy–3 contract for launch services and 

infrastructure. The most troubling areas include cost accountability 

and introduction of new competition. First, the Air Force has not 

sufficiently developed the method by which costs for non-Department of Defense launches will be accounted for and credited to the 

Buy–3 contract. A lack of rigorous oversight in this area will provide unfair advantages to EELV contractors over outside competition for these launches, especially for launches in the commercial 

sector. Second, current structural constraints on the EELV program cause ordering inefficiencies throughout the program supply 

chain which will add significant cost to, and inhibit cost savings 

for, the program. The Committee believes a balance must be 

achieved to create an environment that optimizes economic efficiencies and promotes development and inclusion of outside competition.

Therefore, the Committee expects the Department of the Air 

Force to negotiate adjustments, in the form of reimbursements or 

credits, for launch services and launch capability and infrastructure costs associated with all non-Department of Defense EELV 

launches. Additionally, the Committee supports contracting procedures that facilitate competition and ‘‘best value’’ procurements. 

The Committee, therefore, directs the Department of the Air Force 

to adopt acquisition practices for the EELV program that will 

maximize economic efficiencies through fiscal year 2010 and create 

opportunities by which new entrants might more readily qualify for 

the EELV program, including opportunities for demonstration 


HMOORE on PROD1PC68 with HMRPT
173

launches. This will facilitate competition and promote assured access to space. 

GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM

The budget requests $97,182,000 in procurement for Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites with an additional $43,259,000 in 

advanced procurement for vehicles 16 through 18. The Committee 

notes: (1) The GPS IIF program has been troubled by cost growth 

and significant delays; (2) the Department of Defense has chosen 

not to pursue vehicles 13 through 18; and (3) the program will not 

meet an acquisition decision for vehicles 10 through 12 as scheduled. The Committee recommends $67,182,000 in procurement and 

no funding for advanced procurement, a reduction of $30,000,000 

and $43,259,000, respectively. 

The Committee further recognizes that previous models of GPS 

satellites are operating longer than expected. Analysis indicates 

that through proper constellation planning and management, the 

corresponding launch schedule will most likely alleviate the need 

for vehicles 10–12 prior to the introduction of GPS III. Accordingly 

the Committee recommends the Department reassess the requirements for additional GPS IIF vehicles.

USSOCOM-EMERGENT CRITICAL COMBAT MISSION NEEDS

The Committee is aware that the United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) receives numerous Combat Mission 

Needs Statements from its war fighters in Iraq and Afghanistan to 

provide equipment urgently needed to fulfill unforeseen requirements. The Committee began a program in fiscal year 2006 to address these requirements and continues that effort by recommending an appropriation of $22,000,000 for such purposes. The 

Committee directs the Commander of USSOCOM to provide a 

quarterly report to the congressional defense committees on the use 

of these funds and strongly suggests that funds for this program 

be included in future budget requests.

NATIONAL GUARD AND RESERVE EQUIPMENT 

Fiscal year 2006 appropriation .......................................................... $178,200,000 

Fiscal year 2007 budget request ....................................................... 0 

Committee recommendation .............................................................. 500,000,000 

Change from the budget request ....................................................... +500,000,000 

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

The Committee recommends an appropriation of $500,000,000 for 

National Guard and Reserve Equipment, which is $321,800,000 

more than the amount provided in fiscal year 2006 and 

$500,000,000 more than the request for fiscal year 2007. The Committee recommends that these funds be provided to the Army National Guard to continue an effort begun in fiscal year 2007 to meet 

the ‘‘Essential 10 Equipment Requirements for the Global War on 

Terror’’ as identified by the Chief, National Guard Bureau. 

The Committee has also provided funds for National Guard and 

Reserve equipment consistent with the budget request within the 

procurement accounts and has earmarked funds as requested. The 

Committee has added funding for Guard and Reserve equipment 

above the request in several of the procurement accounts as described elsewhere in this report. 

In addition, the Committee has provided funding in title IX for 

equipment for forces being deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan. The 

Committee expects the Department to provide deploying and deployed Guard and Reserve units with the same quality and quantity of equipment as they provide to the active duty components. 

ARMY NATIONAL GUARD COMBAT BRIGADES

The Committee remains concerned about the Department of Defense’s proposal to reduce 7 Army combat brigades from the level 

assumed under previous plans. Most of the change would occur in 

the Army National Guard’s force structure plans; the Guard would 

field 28 combat brigades instead of 34 proposed previously. The 

Committee’s review of this proposal indicates that the National 

Guard will have difficulty meeting its force generation and state security requirements with only 28 combat brigades. As the Department of the Army continues its examination of combat brigade requirements, the Committee strongly urges that this examination be 

conducted with the full participation and cooperation of both active 

and Guard officials at all levels. Moreover, the Committee will 

closely follow this issue over the coming months and will seek to 

ensure that sufficient funding is provided to field the number of 

Guard combat brigades necessary to meet its force generation and 

state security requirements, as authorized by law. As such, the 

Committee provides additional funding (described in other sections 

of this report) to fully fund the Army National Guard authorized 

end strength level of 350,000 and purchase additional equipment. 

PROGRAM RECOMMENDED

The total program recommended in the bill will provide the following in fiscal year 2007:

TITLE IV 

RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT, TEST AND EVALUATION 

ESTIMATES AND APPROPRIATION SUMMARY 

The fiscal year 2007 Department of Defense research, development, test and evaluation budget request totals $73,156,008,000. 

The accompanying bill recommends $75,336,246,000. The total 

amount recommended is an increase of $2,180,238,000 above the 

fiscal year 2007 budget estimate and is $3,925,342,000 above the 

total provided in fiscal year 2006. The table below summarizes the 

budget estimate and the Committee’s recommendations.

JOINT COMMON MISSILE

Joint Common Missile (JCM) is a fixed and rotary wing aviationlaunched missile system that provides advanced line-of-sight, and 

non-line-of-sight capabilities, including precision strike, passive, 

and fire-and-forget seeker technologies with increased range and 

lethality. JCM provides double the range of Hellfire (16,000 v. 

8,000 meters for helicopter launches) allowing flight crews to take 

full advantage of target acquisition and guidance systems. 

The Joint Common Missile (JCM) program was designed to mitigate missile credibility gaps identified by the Joint Capabilities Integration and Development System (JCIDS). The program had performed on schedule and on budget. In December 2004, the Department of Defense terminated the program choosing to assume temporary risk, and rely on less capable legacy missiles, or other guided munitions which address some of the same targets. In August 

of 2005, the Joint Requirements Oversight Council revalidated the 

requirement for Joint Common Missile. 

Congress added funds in the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2006 to maintain the program ($26,000,000 in Research, 

Development, Test and Evaluation, Army and $4,000,000 in Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Navy). 

The Committee strongly encourages the Department of Defense 

to fully resource the Joint Common Missile program in order to 

provide flight crews with a weapon system that has greater engagement range, insensitive munitions technology and improved seeker, 

warhead and rocket motor technologies. Accordingly, the Committee recommends for Joint Common Missile in fiscal year 2007, 

appropriations of $30,000,000 in Research, Development, Test and 

Evaluation, Army and $5,000,000 in Research, Development, Test 

and Evaluation, Navy. The Committee strongly encourages the Department of Defense to fully fund the Joint Common Missile program in future budget requests. 

SPECIAL INTEREST ITEMS

Items for which additional funds have been provided as shown in 

the project level tables or in paragraphs using the phrase ‘‘only for’’

or ‘‘only to’’ in this report are congressional interest items for the 

purpose of the Base for Reprogramming (DD 1414). Each of these 

items must be carried on the DD Form 1414 at the stated amount, 

specifically addressed in the conference report. These items remain 

special interest items whether or not they are repeated in a subsequent conference report. 

REPROGRAMMING GUIDANCE FOR ACQUISITION ACCOUNTS

The Committee directs the Department of Defense to continue to 

follow the reprogramming guidance specified in the report accompanying the House version of the fiscal year 2006 Department of 

Defense Appropriations bill (H.R. 109–119). Specifically, the dollar 

threshold for reprogramming funds will remain at $20,000,000 for 

procurement, and $10,000,000 for research, development, test and 

evaluation. The Department shall continue to follow the limitation 

that prior approval reprogrammings are set at either the specified 

dollar threshold or 20% of the procurement or research, developVerDate Aug 31 2005 04:28 Jun 17, 2006 Jkt 028117 PO 00000 Frm 00207 Fmt 6601 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\HR504.XXX HR504

ment, test and evaluation line, whichever is less. These thresholds 

are cumulative. Therefore, if the combined value of transfers into 

or out of a procurement (P–1) line or research, development, test 

and evaluation (R–1) line exceeds the identified threshold, the Department of Defense must submit a prior approval reprogramming 

to the congressional defense committees. In addition, guidelines on 

the application of prior approval reprogramming procedures for 

congressional special interest items are established elsewhere in 

this report.

FUTURE COMBAT SYSTEMS (FCS)

The progress of the Army’s Future Combat Systems (FCS) Program remains the focus of Army modernization. FCS is planned to 

make the Army combat brigade into a more deployable, lethal, survivable, and sustainable force. FCS fully embraces network centric 

operations including manned ground vehicles, unattended sensors, 

intelligent munitions, unmanned air vehicles and unmanned 

ground systems. Commonality in FCS manned ground systems 

should allow a reduced logistics tail, resulting in significant savings. However, the FCS program is expensive, with total investment cost estimated at $160,700,000,000, and approaching 

$200,000,000,000 when considering both FCS core elements and 

other Army programs that are required to deliver FCS’s full potential. The FCS technology is very aggressive. The potential increase 

in military capability is impressive, but the Government Accountability Office reported in March 2006 that the program has not 

achieved the mature technologies and firm requirements that 

should have been achieved three years prior. Setting and refining 

FCS system-level requirements may not be complete until 2008. 

The FCS acquisition strategy calls for maturing technologies, designing systems, and preparing for production concurrently, a very 

high risk approach. 

FCS program cost is estimated at $160,700,000,000, which is an 

increase of 76 percent since the program began. The Committee 

notes that the Department of Defense has not yet prepared an 

independent estimate to validate the Army’s current cost estimate. 

Low-rate production is planned to start in fiscal year 2012, and 

full-rate production is expected to start in fiscal year 2016. By the 

end of fiscal year 2025, the Army plans to have equipped 15 FCS 

brigade combat teams. 

The Committee is a strong supporter of the Army effort to field 

brigade combat teams that are more deployable, lethal, survivable, 

and sustainable, and the Committee continues to provide robust 

funding support for the FCS program. The Committee recommends 

an appropriation of $2,984,677,000 for Armored System Modernization Engineering Development for fiscal year 2007, an increase of 

$226,706,000 above the amount provided in fiscal year 2006. Additional FCS funding is provided for the Non Line of Sight Launch 

System and for the Non Line of Sight Cannon. 

The Committee is mindful however that in the year 2025, the 

Army will have only 15 FCS brigade combat teams out of the total 

force of 70 brigade combat teams. The Army will have 55 brigades 

that are equipped with essentially the same equipment as today. 

The Committee believes it is essential that FCS cost be carefully 

controlled and that programs to reset, recap, and upgrade the 

Abrams tanks, Bradley fighting vehicles, and other key items of 

equipment be fully resourced and executed. The Committee will 

work with the Army to ensure the readiness of all 70 brigade combat teams. 

BIOMASS CONVERSION DEFENSE APPLICATIONS

The Committee is aware of research into the use of renewable 

plant biomass as a source of fuel and chemical production, such as 


HMOORE on PROD1PC68 with HMRPT
226

that being performed at the Michigan State University Biomass 

Conversion Research Lab. The Committee directs the Department 

of Defense to study the use of Biomass Conversion as a possible solution to the problems presented by rising petroleum prices to determine if this research has application to the military, and strongly urges the Department to provide resources for such research efforts if that is the case. 

PROGRAM RECOMMENDED

The total program recommended in the bill will provide the following in fiscal year 2007:

AFFORDABLE DISTRIBUTED APERTURE INFRARED COUNTERMEASURES

FOR HELICOPTERS AND REGIONAL JETS

The Committee is aware of the need for a lower weight, affordable directional infrared countermeasures (IRCM) solution to protect helicopters and regional jets from advanced ground-based missile threats. The Committee applauds the Naval Research Laboratory’s IRCM successes to date and provides an additional 

$5,000,000 to build on these successes and accelerate development 

of an affordable distributed aperture laser-based IRCM system to 

meet this requirement. 

FORCE PROTECTION APPLIED RESEARCH

The Committee directs that none of the base reduction in this 

program shall be applied against the Explosive Resistant Coatings 

project. The Committee continues to support this effort as a high 

priority force protection measure for Navy ships. 

WARFIGHTER SUSTAINMENT ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY

The Committee recommends a base program reduction of $19,900,000, to be distributed as shown in the table below. The recommendation allows approximately the same level of funding for 

these activities as received in fiscal year 2006, rather than the 33 

percent increase proposed in the budget. Of the funds provided in 

this program, $2,500,000 is for the Validation of Prognostic and 

Health Management Systems.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

The Committee recommends $7,763,000 for Marine Mammal Research, an increase of $3,500,000 above the request. Of the additional funds provided, $2,500,000 is a general program increase for 

the Navy’s marine mammal research program. In addition, 

$1,000,000 would establish a new stranded mammal auditory 

electro-physiological (AEP) testing program. This program would 

allow significantly improved data on the potential effect of Navy 

sonar on marine mammals. Because of a lack of field data, the 

Navy currently extrapolates from one species of marine mammal to 

another when projecting the effects of sonar. Under the AEP program, hardware kits would be developed by the Navy Marine Mammal Program and transitioned for use by national marine mammal 

stranding network personnel in affected locations throughout the 

United States. The data collected through this program will imVerDate Aug 31 2005 04:28 Jun 17, 2006 Jkt 028117 PO 00000 Frm 00254 Fmt 6601 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\HR504.XXX HR504

prove the Navy’s understanding of the effect of sonar on specific 

species, allowing the service to respond more accurately to the concerns of local communities, environmental groups and other federal 

agencies.

SURFACE AND SHALLOW WATER MINE COUNTERMEASURES

The Committee recommends a rescission of $16,879,000 in fiscal 

year 2006 funds reflecting delays in the award of development contracts for the 21-inch Mission Reconfigurable Unmanned Undersea 

Vehicle. Preliminary design for this effort has slipped from fiscal 

year 2006 to 2007, freeing up these funds for other needs. 

76 MILLIMETER SUPER RAPID MEDIUM CALIBER GUN

The Committee recommends $1,800,000 to continue the 76 Millimeter Super Rapid Medium Caliber Gun program. The Committee 

expects the Navy to proceed in fiscal year 2007 with Weapon System Explosives Safety Review Board (WSESRB) qualification of 

this gun system and its associated ammunition. 

DD(X) RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

Consistent with the provisions of H.R. 5122, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2007, the Committee urges 

the Secretary of the Navy to review the continuing need for additional research and development of a permanent magnet motor for 

the DD(X) destroyer, and to provide sufficient funds under this 

heading to maintain development of such an engine, if warranted. 

CONVENTIONAL TRIDENT MODIFICATION

Consistent with the House-passed bill authorizing appropriations 

for the Defense Department, the Committee recommends 

$30,000,000 in RDT&E, Navy for development of a modification to 

the Trident Weapon System to accommodate non-nuclear payloads. 

The President’s budget included $127,000,000 for this program, including $77,000,000 in research and development and $50,000,000 

in procurement accounts. The Committee believes the proposed 

schedule for this program is unrealistic, and prejudges the outcome 

of internal planning and programming reviews, including the analysis of alternatives and the vetting and documentation of operational requirements. While agreeing to provide some funds for this 

new start, the Committee remains concerned that important strategic, international, and operational considerations have not been 

fully addressed, and the Department’s acquisition community has 

not completed its review. 

BONE MARROW REGISTRY

The Committee provides $31,500,000, to be administered by the 

C. W. Bill Young Marrow Donor Recruitment and Research Program, also known and referred to, within the Naval Medical Research Center, as the Bone Marrow Registry. This DoD donor center has recruited more than 375,000 DoD volunteers, and provides 

more marrow donors per week than any other donor center in the 

Nation. More than 2,100 service members and other DoD volunteers from this donor center have provided marrow to save the lives 


HMOORE on PROD1PC68 with HMRPT
248

of patients. The Committee is aware of the continuing success of 

this national and international life saving program for military contingencies and civilian patients, which now includes more than 

6,000,000 potential volunteer donors, and encourages agencies involved in contingency planning to continue to include the C. W. Bill 

Young Marrow Donor Recruitment and Research Program in the 

development and testing of their contingency plans. DD Form 1414 

shall show this as a congressional special interest item, and the 

Committee directs that all of the funds appropriated for this purpose be released to the C.W. Bill Young Marrow Recruitment and 

Research Program within 60 days of enactment of the Department 

of Defense Appropriations Act, 2007. 

UNMANNED COMBAT AIR VEHICLE ADVANCED COMPONENT

DEVELOPMENT

The Committee recommends $189,163,000 for Unmanned Combat Air Vehicle—Navy (UCAV–N), a reduction of $50,000,000 from 

the budget estimate. This program has experienced significant 

delays during fiscal year 2006, as the Department of Defense restructures the now-terminated Joint Unmanned Combat Air System (J–UCAS) into a Navy-only effort called UCAV–N. Because of 

these delays and significant funding remaining from the fiscal year 

2006 appropriation, the Committee believes a lower funding level 

will be sufficient for the program in fiscal year 2007. 

PROGRAM RECOMMENDED

The total program recommended in the bill will provide the following in fiscal year 2007:

JOINT STRIKE FIGHTER ALTERNATE ENGINE DEVELOPMENT AND COST

ANALYSIS

The budget request provided no funding for development of the 

F–136 engine for the Joint Strike Fighter program. The Committee 

recommends an additional $200,000,000 for continued development 

of this alternate engine source. The Committee directs the Under 

Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics to 

sponsor a comprehensive independent cost analysis of the Joint 

Strike Fighter engine program to be conducted by a federally funded research and development center (FFRDC) with demonstrated 

competence in this area. This analysis shall include but not be limited to: (1) a comparison of costs associated with the development 

of the F–135 and F–136 engines; (2) an evaluation of potential savings achieved by eliminating or continuing the development and 

production of an alternate engine over the program’s life cycle; and 

(3) the potential effects on the industrial base of eliminating or continuing the development and production of an alternate engine over 

the program’s life cycle. This analysis shall be transmitted to the 

congressional defense committees not later than March 15, 2007. 

The Committee is supportive of required studies included in the 

House-passed version of the National Defense Authorization Act, 

2007, and intends that this cost analysis be complementary to 

those studies. 

PERSONNEL RECOVERY SYSTEMS—COMBAT SEARCH AND RESCUE—X

(CSAR–X)

The Committee recommends $224,310,000 for Personnel Recovery Systems, which is $133,203,000 more than the amount provided in fiscal year 2006, and $30,000,000 less than the request for 

fiscal year 2007. 

The Committee is concerned about continued delays in implementing the Combat Search and Rescue Program (CSAR–X). The 

Committee provided clear direction to the Department of Defense 

regarding an acquisition strategy in the statement of the managers 

accompanying the conference report on the Department of Defense 

Appropriations Act, 2006. The Committee reiterates its strong support for this strategy that minimizes risk and controls research and 

development cost by advocating, to the maximum extent possible, 

the integration and procurement of off-the-shelf (OTS) technologies. 

The Committee notes that ongoing delays in the award of a system development and demonstration contract have made a significant amount of the fiscal year 2007 request early to need. The 

Committee has reduced the budget request by $30,000,000 accordingly. This reduction is taken without prejudice to the program or 

the requirement. 

KC–135 TANKER REPLACEMENT

The fiscal year 2007 budget request included $203,932,000 for 

development of the KC–135 tanker replacement. The Committee 

has fully funded the request. 

The Committee’s action should be taken as an indication of its 

strong support for expediting a development and subsequent procurement program to begin replacement of these aging assets. The 


HMOORE on PROD1PC68 with HMRPT
267

Committee directs that the funds provided are only for development of a tanker replacement and shall not be used as a source for 

reprogramming.

MODERNIZATION CENTERS

The Committee commends the Air Force and its Air Logistics 

Centers for the initial efforts to inject new technology into aging 

weapon system parts in order to substantially increase reliability, 

decrease operational costs, and improve overall weapon system 

availability. This innovative application of available technology is 

key to ensuring future performance of these rapidly aging systems 

while attacking the ever increasing complexity of the sustainment 

of these systems due to the diminishing vendor situation. The Air 

Force is encouraged to effect policies and procedures to institutionalize this modernization practice by utilizing industry, academia, and organic repair centers. 

NATIONAL AEROSPACE LEADERSHIP INITIATIVE

As charged by Congress, the National Aerospace Leadership Initiative (NALI) has been initiated under the direction of the Secretary of the Air Force. This initiative is designed to counter the 

pervasive and growing global challenge to United States aerospace 

leadership and the potential adverse effects on our national defense. A primary focus of NALI is to develop programs that will enhance the U.S. aerospace manufacturing supply chain and attract 

qualified scientists and engineers into the aerospace field. The 

Committee appreciates the Air Force’s response to this initiative 

and strongly encourages the service to continue to work with the 

Committee and the participating public and private sector entities 

to further the goals of this program. As such, the Committee recommends an additional $25,000,000 under this heading for NALI. 

However, the Committee anticipates that future funding for NALI 

will be included in the Air Force’s fiscal year 2008 budget request 

and subsequent requests. 

COMBATANT COMMANDERS’ INTEGRATED COMMAND AND CONTROL

SYSTEM (CCIC2S)

The budget requests $50,908,000 for the CCIC2S. CCIC2S will 

provide combatant commanders a command and control system for 

threat warning that incorporates air, missile defense, and space 

components. The Committee notes that separate but similar and 

related efforts are currently in development (e.g., Joint Space Operation Center for Space and Joint National Integration Center for 

Missile Defense). The Committee believes that the Department of 

Defense has not facilitated sufficient communication between the 

multiple stakeholders involved in CCIC2S for the current plan to 

be coordinated across the Department, free of duplication, optimized for the users, and planned in the most efficient and cost effective manner. Therefore the Committee recommends $16,408,000 

for core recapitalization and current operations, a reduction of 

$34,600,000. A similar reduction is made in Other Procurement, 

Air Force based on the same criteria. 


HMOORE on PROD1PC68 with HMRPT
268

The Committee directs the Secretary of Defense initiate a working group to develop a comprehensive and coordinated plan for the 

Department. The plan, which should be delivered to the congressional defense committees by February 28, 2007, should include the 

system capability objectives, a nominal information technology architecture, and the resources required to execute the plan. Further, 

the Committee directs the Department delay further development 

and integration of the missile defense and space components. The 

Department should focus on core recapitalization and current operations until this plan has been approved and funds for it are provided.

OPERATIONALLY RESPONSIVE SPACE

The budget requests $35,386,000 for Operationally Responsive Space, of which $19,524,000 are for the Affordable Responsive 

Space-lift (ARES) program and $16,000,000 are for the FALCON 

small launch vehicle program. The Committee is pleased to see the 

Air Force initiate a program element for this project, but is concerned with the current structure. 

The Committee notes that several entities have attempted to 

frame their projects as Operationally Responsive Space and is not 

convinced that ARES fits the definition. The Committee believes 

that ARES is a general technology development project outside of 

responsive space and should be funded as such. Therefore, the 

Committee has transferred $12,024,000 of the $19,524,000 budgeted for the ARES program from PE 604857F to PE 603211F to 

execute the program, but these funds are fenced until the Air Force 

meets the request for a suitable description of a comprehensive 

plan for the future of space launch. Future technology development 

towards any demonstration should be funded from this program 

element. Additionally, the Committee directs that the remaining 

$7,500,000 be used for the purposes described in the classified 

annex.

The Committee recognizes, within the FALCON small launch vehicle program, that phase 2 has not been completed and insufficient funding has been allocated to complete the program. However, preparation for launch is prematurely funded in fiscal year 

2007. The Committee directs the all $3,240,000 associated with the 

launch preparation be applied to the completion of phase 2 in order 

to reach a demonstration launch as soon as possible. 

SPACE RADAR

The budget requests $266,401,000 for Space Radar, an increase 

of $166,401,000 or 166% over the appropriated level for fiscal year 

2006. The Committee is concerned about the executability of such 

a large increase and therefore recommends $200,000,000, a reduction of $66,401,000. 

The Committee is pleased with the restructuring of the program 

that has occurred beginning in late fiscal year 2005. However, the 

Committee is concerned about the possibility of a premature decision to initiate an operational system. For a successful Space Radar 

program, the Air Force must fully leverage all current or planned—

radar systems—ground, air, or space——to pursue the development 

of ground exploitation capabilities, horizontal integration, radar

technology maturation, and new technology breakthroughs that 

will achieve program affordability.

MISSILE DEFENSE AGENCY PROGRAM ELEMENT RESTRUCTURE

As stated in the report accompanying the House version of the 

fiscal year 2006 Department of Defense Appropriations Act (House 

Report No. 109–119), the Missile Defense Agency has been allowed 

considerable financial flexibility by Congress in order for the agency to respond rapidly to achieve its Initial Defensive Capability. 

Now that a working system operated by trained warfighters has 

been fielded, the Committee is concerned about continuing to allow 

the Missile Defense Agency this financial flexibility. Accordingly, 

the committee has restructured the Products program element 

(PE–0603889C) to allow for greater visibility and oversight of programs and directs the Missile Defense Agency to follow the format 

in future budget submissions. 

MISSILE DEFENSE AGENCY

SPACE TRACKING AND SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM (STSS)

The budget requested $390,585,000 for STSS, including 

$97,000,000 for the Block 2012 space system. The Committee recommends $323,585,000, a reduction of $67,000,000. The Committee 

notes that two demonstration satellites will be launched in fiscal 

year 2007 and that exploitation of data from these satellites will 

allow the Missile Defense Agency to develop sensor requirements 

and a concept of operations that will drive the Block 2012 space 

system. As a result, the Committee believes it is premature to 

award the Block 2012 space system contract and directs the Missile 

Defense Agency to pursue sensor technology development and risk 

reduction with the remaining Block 2012 funds. 

MISSILE DEFENSE AGENCY COST REPORTING

The Committee is concerned that funds appropriated for Blocks 

2004 and 2006 are being moved between various elements and programs. While it was important for the Missile Defense Agency 

(MDA) to have a flexibility to optimize the use of funds to field an 

initial capability, it is equally important to have an audit trail for 

appropriated funds. During Block 2004, MDA requested funds to 

develop, deploy, verify, and characterize a Block 2004 fielded configuration of the Ballistic Missile Defense System. However, the 

Committee understands that MDA delayed some of these activities 

until Block 2006 to cover Block 2004 contractor cost issues. The 

Committee is concerned that MDA is requesting funds during 

Block 2006 for the delayed activities although funding was already 

provided for them during Block 2004. The Committee directs the 

Director, MDA to submit a report to the congressional defense committees no later than sixty days after the date of enactment of this 

Act that details the cost of all work that traveled from Block 2004 

(as defined by the Block 2004 Fielding Goals submitted to Congress 

in February 2003) to Block 2006 and that explains how MDA used 

the funds originally appropriated for these activities. In addition, 

the report should identify the elements that lost funds appropriated for their use to other programs. 

Additionally, it has also come to the Committee’s attention that 

the Block 2006 fielded configuration baseline delivered to the ConVerDate Aug 31 2005 04:28 Jun 17, 2006 Jkt 028117 PO 00000 Frm 00296 Fmt 6601 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\HR504.XXX HR504

HMOORE on PROD1PC68 with HMRPT
289

gress with the fiscal year 2006 budget is also changing, which 

makes it difficult to account for the use of appropriated funds. To 

better understand the Block 2006 fielded configuration baseline, 

the Committee directs the Director, MDA to submit a report to the 

congressional defense committees no later than sixty days after the 

date of enactment of this Act that clarifies the cost of the Block 

2006 fielded configuration as laid out in MDA’s BMDS Block Statement of Goals and Baselines dated March 14, 2005 and ties the 

cost to specific quantities of assets being fielded and to specific activities for which the funds are requested. The report should (1) detail the cost of research, development, test, and evaluation, fielding, 

and operation and sustainment for each program that contributes 

to the Block 2006 fielded configuration; (2) considering these elements of cost, detail the cumulative cost of the Block 2006 fielded 

configuration; and (3) for fiscal years 2006 and 2007, identify the 

assets and major activities that the funds support. Further, the Director, MDA is directed to use the March 14, 2005 quantity, performance, and cost baseline as its fielded configuration baseline in 

the December 31, 2006 Selected Acquisition Report and to report 

all variances against this baseline. 

The Committee expects MDA to follow this same format for all 

future Blocks of the Ballistic Missile Defense System. 

AIRBORNE LASER (ABL)

The Committee is encouraged by the recent technical progress 

that the Airborne Laser (ABL) program has made over the last two 

years with the accomplishment of the firing of the high energy 

laser and the flight testing of the associated beam control/fire control system. The Committee also notes that these technical challenges were accomplished while the program stayed within the government determined schedule and budget. 

As the acknowledged Primary Boost Phase Defense, the Committee is concerned by the recent decision of the Missile Defense 

Agency (MDA) to slip the planning for the development of an operational ABL by two years later than proposed in the fiscal year 

2006 budget submittal. The Committee believes that if the ABL 

succeeds in the next two years of testing and accomplishes its main 

test objectives leading towards a lethal shoot down demonstration 

in late 2008, MDA should move the program into development of 

an operational ABL configuration at the earliest date. 

Therefore, the Committee encourages MDA to re-evaluate funding in the Future Year Defense Plan to ensure that funding levels 

for ABL are consistent with its status as the Primary Boost Phase 

Defense. Further, the Committee recommends MDA develop a plan 

that would allow for the development of an advanced ABL configuration in the shortest time after a successful lethal shoot down 

demonstration. This plan should be delivered to the interested defense related committees 90 days after the enactment of this Act. 


HMOORE on PROD1PC68 with HMRPT

MISSILE DEFENSE AGENCY

COMMAND AND CONTROL, BATTLE MANAGEMENT AND

COMMUNICATIONS (C2BMC) PROGRAM

The Committee recommends $239,906,000 for the Command and 

Control, Battle Management and Communications (C2BMC) program, which is a $26,524,000 more than fiscal year 2006 and 

$30,000,000 less than the President’s request. In fiscal year 2006, 

funding for the C2BMC program was reduced by $30,000,000; yet 

during the year of execution, the Missile Defense Agency increased 

funding for C2BMC by over $50,000,000 by using funds in other 

program elements to restore the congressional reduction. The Committee is concerned about the use of funds from various other program elements being used to offset congressional reductions. Accordingly, the Committee reinstates the fiscal year 2006 congressional reduction and directs the Missile Defense Agency to fully 

comply with congressional intent. Additionally, the Committee directs the Missile Defense Agency to follow the reprogramming guidance specified in this report and in the report accompanying the 

House version of the fiscal year 2006 Department of Defense Appropriations Act (House Report No. 109–119) as it pertains to 

guidelines allowing agencies to reprogram funds from one program 

element or appropriation to another. 

AEGIS BALLISTIC MISSILE DEFENSE SYSTEM

The Committee commends the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) for 

showing progress and promise for continued success in its Aegis 

Ballistic Missile Defense System. The Committee strongly urges 

that MDA refrain from transferring funds out of the Aegis program 

to other missile defense programs during the year of execution and 

in the Future Years Defense Program (FYDP) and expects MDA 

shall fully fund and execute the Aegis program as Congress intends.

CHEMICAL AND BIOLOGICAL DEFENSE PROGRAM

The Committee commends the Department on the continued execution of the ‘‘Chem-Bio Defense Initiatives Fund’’ and recommends 

continuing the program within the Department’s Chemical and Biological Defense Program. The Committee’s recommendation provides an increase of $25,000,000 for this fund. The Secretary of Defense is directed to allocate these funds among the programs that 

yield the greatest gain in our chem-bio defensive posture. The Committee further directs that funds cannot be obligated for the ChemBio Initiative Fund until 15 days after a report, including a description of projects to be funded, is provided to the congressional 

defense committees. 

PROGRAM RECOMMENDED

The total program recommended in the bill will provide the following in fiscal year 2007:

RELATED AGENCIES 

NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE PROGRAMS 

The National Intelligence Program (NIP) consists of those intelligence activities of the government that provide the President, 

other officers of the Executive Branch, and the Congress with national intelligence on broad strategic concerns bearing on U.S. national security. These concerns are stated by the National Security 

Council in the form of long-range and short-range requirements for 

the principal users of intelligence. 

The National Intelligence Program budget funded in the Department of Defense Appropriations Act consists primarily of resources 

for the Director of National Intelligence including the Intelligence 

Community Management staff, the Central Intelligence Agency 

(CIA), the Defense Intelligence Agency, the National Reconnaissance Office, the National Security Agency, the National 

Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, the intelligence services of the Departments of the Army, Navy, and Air Force, and the CIA Retirement and Disability fund. 

CLASSIFIED ANNEX

The Committee’s budget reviews are published in a separate detailed and comprehensive classified annex. The intelligence community, Department of Defense and other organizations are expected 

to fully comply with the recommendations and directions in the 

classified annex accompanying the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2007.

Actions taken by the Committee to amend last year’s provisions 

or new provisions recommended by the Committee are discussed 

below or in the applicable section of the report. 

DODEA SCHOOLS

Section 8097 has been added requiring the Secretary of Defense 

to submit a report detailing the efforts by the Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) to address dyslexia in its students. The report shall evaluate for each grade level (K–12) and 

preschool:

(1) How many students at DoDEA schools suffer from dyslexia, and the methodology used for developing this data; 

(2) The diagnostic services provided to students with dyslexia;

(3) The types of consulting services provided to school personnel and parents to assist them in the assessment, diagnosis, 

and instructional programming for dyslexic students;

TITLE IX 

ADDITIONAL APPROPRIATIONS 

INTRODUCTION

The Committee is recommending $50,000,000,000 in funding for 

overseas contingency operations for the first six months of fiscal 

year 2007 in order to ensure the uninterrupted delivery of resources to our troops in the field, and to avoid any disruption in 

funding for the global war on terrorism. The appropriation of these 

funds for contingency operations related to the global war on terrorism and other unanticipated defense-related operations is made 

pursuant to section 402 of H. Con. Res. 376 (109th Congress), the 

concurrent resolution on the budget for fiscal year 2007. The Committee is determined to ensure continuity of combat operations in 

Iraq, Afghanistan, and elsewhere around the world as part of the 

global war on terrorism. 

The President’s budget request for fiscal year 2007 included an 

allocation of $50,000,000,000 for contingency operations related to 

the global war on terrorism. However, the Congress has yet to receive a formal budget amendment for these funds. The Committee 

recommendations are based on authorizations contained in the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2007 (H.R. 5122) 

as passed by the House of Representatives and/or on requirements 

identified by the military services as their highest priorities for 

maintaining and enhancing our ability to wage the global war on 

terrorism. Almost eighty-seven percent of these funds are dedicated 

to military personnel compensation accounts and operation and 

maintenance accounts. The remainder is allocated to cover increased fuel costs ($1,000,000,000) and to procure high priority 

items necessary to replace battle losses or worn-out equipment, or 

to enhance the ability of the war fighter ($5,598,524,000). 

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

In this title, the Committee recommends total new appropriations of $50,000,000,000. Funding by category is as follows: 

Military Personnel .............................................................................. $5,992,050,000 

Operation and Maintenance .............................................................. 37,409,426,000 

Procurement ........................................................................................ 5,598,524,000 

Defense Working Capital Funds ....................................................... 1,000,000,000 

Funds are provided for specific appropriations accounts, and 

would be available upon enactment of this bill. Quarterly reports 

are required on the obligation of funds. 

The Committee bill provides transfer authority for funds in this 

title, permitting up to $2,500,000,000 to be reprogrammed among 

activities following approval by the congressional defense commitVerDate Aug 31 2005 04:28 Jun 17, 2006 Jkt 028117 PO 00000 Frm 00317 Fmt 6601 Sfmt 6601 E:\HR\OC\HR504.XXX HR504

tees through regular order prior-approval notification and reprogramming procedures. 

The Committee bill also includes certain authorities providing 

war-related support to allied forces, and training and equipping 

Iraqi and Afghan military and security forces, consistent with similar authorities provided in Public Law 109–148.

REPORTING REQUIREMENTS

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

accounts listed in this chapter. The Secretary shall submit updated 

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

this chapter for the continuation of the war in Iraq and Afghanistan; and a listing of equipment procured using funds provided in 

this chapter. 

The Committee expects that in order to meet unanticipated requirements, the Department may need to transfer funds within 

these appropriations accounts for purposes other than those specified in this report. The Committee directs the Department of Defense to follow normal prior-approval reprogramming procedures 

should it be necessary to transfer funding between different appropriations accounts in this chapter. 

Additionally, the Committee directs that the reporting requirements of section 9010 of Public Law 109–148, the Department of 

Defense Appropriations Act, 2006, regarding military operations 

and stability in Iraq shall apply to the funds appropriated in this 

Act.

active duty and Reserve personnel deployed in support of Operation 

Iraqi Freedom, Operation Enduring Freedom, and Operation Noble 

Eagle; $251,000,000 to restore Army National Guard funds that 

were reduced on the basis of their current (as opposed to authorized) end strength levels; and $113,489,000 for Foreign Language

DEFENSE WORKING CAPITAL FUNDS

The Committee recommends an additional $1,000,000,000 for the 

Defense Working Capital Funds. These funds are recommended to 

address shortfalls due to unforeseen fuel price increases as well as 

to provide for the increased rate of consumption during wartime. 

GENERAL PROVISIONS—THIS TITLE 

Title IX of the Committee bill contains twelve general provisions. 

Several of these extend or modify war-related authorities included

in this Act. 

Section 9003 has been included which provides for the transfer of funds between appropriations of up to $2,500,000,000 of the 

funds in title IX, and provides that the transfer authority in this 

section is in addition to any other transfer authority available to 

the Department of Defense. 

Section 9004 has been included which deems funds appropriated 

in this Act for intelligence activities to be authorized by the Congress until an Intelligence Authorization Act for fiscal year 2007 is 

enacted.

Section 9005 has been included which provides that none of the

ADDITIONAL VIEWS OF HON. DAVID OBEY 

I. THE TRUE COST OF THE WAR

Congress appropriates funding for the Iraq war much like the 

Administration prosecutes it: recklessly, and without being honest 

with the American people. 

Once again, funding for the Iraq and Afghanistan wars—$50 billion in this case—are provided as an ‘‘emergency supplemental’’ in 

this bill. All told, Congress will have provided the Defense Department with $450 billion of emergency funding for this war. 

To treat funding for the Iraq war as an unexpected emergency 

is a perversion of the term. By way of comparison, the Vietnam 

War required only a single supplemental, after which it was financed through the regular budget process. 

While not an emergency, this funding is provided as such because it is politically expedient. It allows the Administration and 

the Congress to avoid the budgetary tradeoffs and to hide the full 

cost of the war. It is part of the Administration’s strategy of providing the facts about Iraq on the installment plan. 

In April of 2003, the President signed the first Iraq supplemental 

providing $62.6 billion for the Defense Department. This was after 

the President’s budget director told the New York Times that the 

war would cost between $50 and $60 billion. 

In November of 2003, when the President signed a second supplemental providing $64.9 billion for the Defense Department, the 

White House termed it a ‘‘one-time, wartime supplemental.’’ Nine 

months later Congress provided $25 billion of additional emergency 

funding.

In May of 2005, the President signed a third supplemental providing $75.7 billion for the Defense Department and told us that 

democracy was taking root in Iraq. Seven months later, as civil war 

rocked Iraq, Congress provided an additional $50 billion of emergency funding. 

This week, Congress passed another $65.8 billion supplemental. 

The same day, in a surprise visit to Iraq, the President once again 

linked the Iraq war and the attacks of September 11th—an assertion that is patently false and that only he and the Vice President 

appear to still believe. In this bill, the House will approve another $50 billion more in 

emergency funding for Iraq to cover operations through the spring 

of 2007. As was the case with previous Iraq supplementals, these 

costs will be tacked on to this President’s greatest legacy—a massive $300 billion plus deficit. The result is that future generations 

will be forced to pay the financial costs of the President’s failed 

Iraq policy. 

For several years, I have asked the Administration to come forward with 5-year estimates of the war costs so that Congress could

get a better sense of how to balance the books. The FY 2005 Defense Appropriations Conference Report included a general provision requiring the Administration to do just that. No such report 

was ever provided. The President chose to waive the requirement 

by certifying in writing that providing these cost estimates would 

harm national security. 

The only harm that would come from providing estimates of future war costs would be to the political fortunes of those who insist 

on funding this war through emergency supplementals instead of 

being honest with the public about the war’s real cost. More than 

three years into this war it is clear that honesty is too much to expect from this Administration. 

II. PERMANENT BASES IN IRAQ

The Committee bill includes a provision that prohibits the use of 

funds to enter into military basing rights agreements between the 

United States and Iraq. In effect, this provision bars the establishment of permanent U.S. bases in that country. This provision is 

meant to send a clear, unequivocal message to the Iraqi people and 

to the world that the United States will not indefinitely occupy 

Iraq.

Congress missed the opportunity to signal its opposition to permanent bases in the recently approved FY 2006 Iraq supplement 

emergency supplemental. Despite both the House and the Senate 

including a ban on permanent basing in their respective bills, the 

conference committee just two week ago jettisoned the provision. 

Let us hope that the prohibition inserted in this bill will last longer 

than it did in the FY 2006 supplemental. After all: 

• President George W. Bush said on April 13, 2004, that ‘‘as a 

proud and independent people, Iraqis do not support and indefinite 

occupation and neither does America.’’

• Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, testifying before the 

Senate Armed Services Committee on February 17, 2005 said, ‘‘We

have no intention, at the present time, of putting permanent bases 

in Iraq.’’

• U.S. Ambassador to Iraq, Zalmay Khalilzhad, declared recently 

that the U.S. Government does not want permanent military bases 

in Iraq. 

• General George Casey—our commander on the ground in 

Iraq—has said that we should gradually reduce the visibility of coalition forces across Iraq because that would take away one of the 

elements that fuels the insurgency. 

But those words have been greeted with skepticism. 

This demonstrates the need to take the target off of our soldiers’

backs by making it clear that we do not intend to be long-term occupiers. That action could take away a propaganda tool that the insurgents are using to justify their attacks on U.S. forces. 

DAVID OBEY.
