BACKGROUND 

PURPOSE OF THE BILL

The Military Construction, Veterans Affairs and Related Agencies appropriation bill provides necessary funding for the planning, 

design, construction, alteration, and improvement of military facilities worldwide, for both Active and Reserve forces. It also finances 

the cost of military family housing and the U.S. share of the NATO 

Security Investment Program. In addition, the bill provides funding 

to implement base closures and realignments authorized by law. 

The bill provides resources to the Department of Veterans Affairs 

for veterans benefits and healthcare. The bill also provides funding 

for U.S. cemeteries and battlefield monuments both in the United 

States and abroad; U.S. Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims; and 

Armed Forces Retirement Homes.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

The Committee recommends new fiscal year 2007 appropriations 

of $94,315,643,000. This is $13,099,749,000 over the fiscal year 

2006 enacted level and $433,501,000 below the budget request. The 

basis for this recommendation is contained in the following ‘‘Overview and summary of the bill,’’ and under the discussions pertaining to each individual appropriation. Complete project detail is 

provided in the tables at the end of the report. 

Title I of the Committee recommendation does not contain certain items addressed in the House bill, H.R. 5385. The Committee 

believes that it is more appropriate to fund these items as part of 

the Senate Department of Defense Appropriations bill, 2007, H.R. 

5631. For ease of comparison, the Committee report sets forth in 

title I a ‘‘House allowance’’ as if these items had not been contained 

in the House passed bill. 

OVERVIEW AND SUMMARY OF THE BILL 

The total amount of new budget authority recommended by the 

Committee in this bill for fiscal year 2007 is $94,315,643,000. The 

new budget authority represents an increase of $13,099,749,000 

over the fiscal year 2006 enacted level and $433,501,000 below the 

President’s budget request for fiscal year 2007. The amount of discretionary budget authority recommended by this Committee, as 

defined by the Budget Act of 1980, is $52,900,000,000. 

This bill makes appropriations for the Department of Defense, 

Department of Veterans Affairs, and other related agencies for fiscal year 2007. It provides for military construction, family housing 

and base realignment and closure activities of the Defense Department. In addition, the bill includes funds for the operation of med-
6 

ical facilities and medical care for the Department of Veterans Affairs, as well as providing for the benefits and pensions of our Nation’s veterans. This bill also provides resources for the construction and maintenance of cemeteries and monuments, both domestically and abroad, that commemorate American servicemen and 

women who have served and died in combat. It also provides resources for the U.S. Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims and for 

the Armed Forces Retirement Homes. 

SUPPORTING THE DEFENSE DEPARTMENT THROUGH INFRASTRUCTURE

As stated in the Constitution of the United States, ‘‘to provide for 

the common defense’’ is an essential function of the Federal Government. Currently, this task is complicated by budgetary constraints and the Nation’s changing defensive posture. Given this 

shift in defense posture and the global war on terror, the Committee understands the importance of providing the necessary tools 

to those tasked with providing for the common defense. Thus, the 

Committee has made a concerted effort to provide resources only 

for infrastructure projects that are the most necessary components 

of the Department’s mission. 

Increasing Energy Efficiency 

The Federal Government is the Nation’s largest consumer of energy. The Department of Defense is the Federal Government’s largest consumer of energy, accounting for approximately 75 percent of 

the government’s energy use. This means that the Department is 

in a unique position to contribute to the Nation’s independence 

from foreign energy sources by emphasizing efficiency in the operation of its facilities. Further, by focusing on energy efficiency the 

Department stands to extend the life of its facilities, furnishings 

and equipment while improving its bottom line. 

It is worth noting that the Department has made strides in this 

regard, actually decreasing its energy consumption from fiscal year 

1994 to fiscal year 2004 by approximately 2 percent. Yet more can 

be done to promote a ‘‘green’’ mentality within the Department. Because the Committee is committed to guiding the Department in 

the direction of energy efficiency, the Committee has recommended 

fully funding the Department of Defense’s Energy Conservation Investment Program. This program has yielded excellent results over 

its life, producing on average four dollars of savings through improved energy and water efficiency for every dollar invested in the 

program. The Committee has also included language directing the 

Department of Defense to incorporate the highest energy efficiency 

standards possible into the building envelopes of all construction 

funded in this act. 

Encouraging Allies’ Involvement 

The Committee supports the commitment of the North Atlantic 

Treaty Organization [NATO] to transform itself into a lighter, more 

agile fighting force. The Committee also notes the establishment of 

the NATO Response Force, which will be rapidly deployable. While 

these efforts are essential to the ability of NATO to be effective in 

a 21st century threat environment, this transformation cannot be 

successful without sufficient funding. 
7 

The United States spent approximately 4 percent of its gross domestic product [GDP] on defense in 2004, an increase of over 

$37,000,000,000 above the previous year, for the benefit of the 

United States and its allies. By comparison, Germany spent 1.4 

percent of its GDP on defense; Italy spent 2 percent on defense; 

Spain spent 1.1 percent; and France spent 2.6 percent. As NATO 

attempts to transform itself, it becomes more important for the 

members of the NATO alliance to commit funding to modernize 

their own armed forces to an operational standard that allows 

them to be interoperable with the United States. Instead, the 

amount spent by each of these nations on defense decreased from 

2004 to 2005, and the vast majority of contributions by these nations to the United States’ defense of their countries has come in 

the form of indirect contributions, such as tax waivers, rather than 

in the form of direct contributions to the United States. The result 

of these policies by our allies is that more of a burden lands on the 

United States to provide unilaterally for the common defense. It 

also creates a perception that other NATO countries are acting in 

their own interests to the exclusion of the interests of the alliance. 

By increasing defense spending, or by increasing their contributions to offset the cost to the United States of maintaining forces 

on their soil, these allies could demonstrate their substantial interest in our common defense. An alliance in which partners are all 

substantially contributing for the common good also becomes an alliance in which the partners have a vested interest in the activities 

and success of the alliance. When western European nations become more active participants in the funding of the alliance, they 

will also become more active partners in securing the peace. 

To encourage our allies to become more invested in our common 

defense, the Committee recommendation includes provisions to encourage increases in the level of defense spending by our allies and 

to require the Department of Defense to report on its efforts to secure contributions to our common defense. 

SUPPORTING OUR VETERANS THROUGH BETTER HEALTHCARE

Electronic Health Records 

The VA is at the forefront of developing a comprehensive electronic health record system, called HealtheVet-Vista. This system 

will revolutionize the entire healthcare system through the use of 

information technology by making a veteran’s healthcare record accessible on-line for VA healthcare clinicians. At no time was it 

more valuable than during the hurricanes of the 2005 season when 

veterans from Louisiana were evacuated to Texas and needed medical care. When the evacuation took place, there was no time to 

gather paper healthcare records. The VA relocated the records to 

a server in Houston, and doctors throughout Texas could access 

them. This is a monumental tribute to the VA and the electronic 

healthcare records they used. 

The Committee is supportive of this valuable national project 

and encourages the Department to move forward with nationwide 

implementation. In addition, the Committee understands the Department of Veterans Affairs is working with the Department of 

Defense on the Bi-directional Health Information Exchange, a se-
8 

cure exchange of medical records between the two Departments. 

However, this cooperation is not moving at a pace suitable to the 

importance of the men and women in uniform. With significant 

numbers of military service persons transitioning from the active 

duty ranks to the VA rolls, the sharing of medical records is even 

more important. The Committee urges the Department of Defense 

to adopt the VA’s architecture and hasten the shared use of such 

a valuable system. The Committee believes the VA is leading the 

Nation, both in government and private industry, in healthcare delivery, and the electronic health records are a large part of that 

service. 

Mental Healthcare Needs 

Many Operation Enduring Freedom/Operation Iraqi Freedom 

[OEF/OIF] veterans, including Guard and Reserve forces, are returning home with physical and/or mental injuries. The attacks 

from insurgents and suicide bombers have left a record number of 

men and women with a loss of limbs, brain and spinal cord injuries, and blindness. In past wars, these service members would not 

have survived these types of injuries, but recent advancements in 

medical science have made it possible to save more lives. The road 

to recovery is often dependent on the quality of care the VA’s 

healthcare system has to offer. 

Many veterans have injuries that are not visible. Many suffer 

from mental health issues and post-traumatic stress disorders 

[PTSD]. PTSD can debilitate our veterans with severe mental anguish, stress and depression, disabling them from moving forward 

with their lives. This Committee fully supports the VA’s efforts to 

treat all mental health disorders, particularly PTSD, and commends the VA for its work in this area. 

The Department of Veterans Affairs at a Crossroads 

The VA is facing tremendous stresses to its system. Healthcare 

costs are rising, and patient workload is increasing. The Department has built the premier healthcare system in the country. Veterans are receiving better healthcare than at any time in our Nation’s history. Compensation and pension benefits are at an all 

time high. At the current rate, VA healthcare costs will double by 

2014. 

The administration and the Congress must work together to continue to provide this world-class healthcare while working to contain cost and expenses. Administration proposals to increase collections and revenue are not totally without merit, but a fairer and 

more equitable way to implement them must be found. 

This Committee urges the administration to work with the Congress to devise a way to contain cost before submitting fee methods 

as part of a budget request. Without the cooperation of both 

branches of government, the primary objective of the entire government—quality healthcare for our veterans—will not be met in the 

future. The Department is at a critical crossroads on fiscal policy. 

Providing superior healthcare for our Nation’s veterans and fiscal 

responsibility to our taxpayers are not mutually exclusive. It will 

take creative and innovative approaches, but the goals are achievable.

TITLE I 

MILITARY CONSTRUCTION 

ITEMS OF SPECIAL INTEREST

HEARINGS

The Subcommittee on Military Construction and Veterans Affairs 

held a hearing related to the fiscal year 2007 Military Construction 

budget request on May 9, 2006. The subcommittee heard testimony 

from representatives of the Department of Defense (the Department); the United States Army; the United States Navy; and the 

United States Air Force concerning fiscal year 2007 budget priorities, base realignment and closure [BRAC], and the impending restructuring of United States military facilities overseas. 

SUMMARY OF COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS

The budget request for fiscal year 2007 reflects an increase of 

$2,230,026,000 from the amount enacted in fiscal year 2006, including rescissions and supplemental funds. 

The Committee recommends $16,262,758,000. This is 

$435,665,000 below the budget request. 

REPROGRAMMING GUIDELINES

The following reprogramming guidelines apply for all military 

construction and family housing projects. A project or account (including the sub-elements of an account) which has been specifically 

reduced by the Congress in acting on the budget request is considered to be a congressional interest item and as such, prior approval 

is required. Accordingly, no reprogrammings to an item specifically 

reduced below the threshold by the Congress are permitted. 

The reprogramming criteria that apply to military construction 

projects (25 percent of the funded amount or $2,000,000, whichever 

is less) continue to apply to new housing construction projects and 

to improvements over $2,000,000. To provide the Services the flexibility to proceed with construction contracts without disruption or 

delay, the costs associated with environmental hazard remediation 

such as asbestos removal, radon abatement, lead-based paint removal or abatement, and any other legislated environmental hazard remediation may be excluded, provided that such remediation 

requirements could not be reasonably anticipated at the time of the 

budget submission. This exclusion applies to projects authorized in 

this budget year, as well as projects authorized in prior years for 

which construction has not been completed. 

Furthermore, in instances where prior approval to a reprogramming request for a project or account has been received from the 

Committee, the adjusted amount approved becomes the new base 
10 

for any future increase or decrease via below-threshold 

reprogrammings (provided that the project or account is not a congressional interest item as defined above). 

REAL PROPERTY MAINTENANCE

The Committee recommends a continuation of the following general rules for repairing a facility under ‘‘Operation and maintenance’’ account funding: 

—Components of the facility may be repaired by replacement, 

and such replacement may be up to current standards or code. 

—Interior arrangements and restorations may be included as repair, but additions, new facilities, and functional conversions 

must be performed as military construction projects. 

—Such projects may be done concurrent with repair projects, as 

long as the final conjunctively funded project is a complete and 

usable facility. 

—The appropriate Service Secretary shall submit a 21-day notification prior to carrying out any repair project with an estimated cost in excess of $7,500,000. 

The Department is directed to continue to report on the real 

property maintenance backlog at all installations for which there 

is a requested construction project in future budget requests. This 

information is to be provided on the Form 1390. In addition, for all 

troop housing requests, the Form 1391 is to continue to show all 

real property maintenance conducted in the past 2 years and all future requirements for unaccompanied housing at that installation. 

Air Force Operation and Maintenance Repair Projects.—The 

Committee notes that the Air Force has made extensive use of the 

authority to carry out repair projects using ‘‘Operation and maintenance’’ account funding. In funding repair projects with Operation 

and Maintenance funds, the Air Force often cites a need to maintain its flexibility ‘‘while balancing [its] operation and maintenance 

and military construction programs.’’ However, in the view of the 

Committee, this practice has slipped out of balance. The Air Force 

elected to execute $772,210,837 in facility repair projects with costs 

over $750,000 (the threshold for using O&M funds for construction) 

in fiscal year 2005 using O&M funds. While these projects are 

within the bounds of operation and maintenance, they could appropriately be executed with military construction funds. The Air 

Force requested $5,601,510,000 in emergency supplemental funding 

for operation and maintenance in fiscal year 2005, justifying these 

funds as ‘‘necessary resources to cover costs associated with personnel support costs for Active and mobilized Reserve and National 

Guard personnel, including travel and per diem; and operations, 

such as incremental flying hours, special airlift missions, contractor 

logistics support, fuel purchases, base support, depot maintenance, 

and for over-ocean transportation.’’ The supplemental request did 

not mention facility repair. Yet, had the Air Force not spent 

$772,210,837 of operation and maintenance funds on projects that 

could have been funded through military construction, funds for 

personnel costs and flying hours, for example, would have been 

available to the Air Force and thus reduced the necessary amount 

of its supplemental request. 
11 

While the demand for operation and maintenance dollars is divided among many competing and ‘‘must-pay’’ bills, military construction funds, by contrast, are devoted solely to facilities. It 

seems to the Committee to be unwise to siphon funds from such a 

widely needed account to fund requirements that could be funded 

using a more appropriate account. The Air Force has continued the 

practice of pursuing facility repair projects with operation and 

maintenance funds into fiscal year 2006, and requested 

$6,088,200,000 in emergency supplemental funds. 

In attempt to restore balance to the operation and maintenance 

and military construction programs, the Committee directs the Air 

Force to submit a report of its fiscal year 2007 facility repair 

projects by September 30, 2006, to the Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress. This report shall include the account and sub-account from which the Air Force intends to fund 

each repair project. 

GLOBAL WAR ON TERROR

The Committee is aware of several military construction projects 

in Iraq funded in previous supplemental funding bills that are no 

longer needed. This underscores the concern long expressed by this 

Committee regarding the inclusion of military construction projects 

in supplemental spending bills. However, as long as the administration continues to request funding for the global war on terror via 

emergency supplemental funding, as is clearly the administration’s 

intent, it is important the process remain consistent, rather than 

fund some war-related military construction via supplemental 

spending bills and other war-related military construction through 

the regular budget process. For this reason, the Committee has rescinded the funds for projects no longer required in Iraq and appropriated, using these emergency funds, several projects requested in 

the President’s budget request which are clearly linked to the global war on terror. They are as follows: Special Operations Forces Rotary Wing Hangar, Qatar; Special Operations Forces Aircraft Operations and Maintenance Hangar, Qatar; Operations/Technical 

Building, Menwith Hill Station, United Kingdom; Base Camp, 

Classified Location; and the Secretary of Defense’s ‘‘Contingency 

construction’’ account. This action will keep emergency projects related to the global war on terror funded within emergency supplemental appropriations until the administration includes all funding 

related to the global war on terror in its base budget.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

The military construction appropriation for the Army provides for 

acquisition, construction, installation, and equipment of temporary 

or permanent public works, military installations, facilities, and 

real property for the Army. This appropriation also provides for facilities required as well as funds for infrastructure projects and 
12 

programs required to support bases and installations around the 

world. 

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

The Committee recommends $2,003,474,000 for the Army for fiscal year 2007. This amount is $78,613,000 above the fiscal year 

2006 enacted level, including rescissions and supplemental funds, 

and $56,288,000 below the budget request. Further detail of the 

Committee’s recommendation is provided in the State table at the 

end of this report. 

Master Plan, Fort Belvoir, Virginia.—The Committee is aware of 

the disparate tenant agencies and organizations that will be 

brought together at Fort Belvoir, Virginia, as a result of the 2005 

BRAC process. Further, the Committee is concerned that the significant construction planned for Fort Belvoir as a part of this consolidation be developed in a comprehensive way, to prevent redundant expenditures and inefficient use of the land and infrastructure 

at Fort Belvoir. The Committee directs the Department of the 

Army, in consultation with tenant agencies, to submit a master 

plan for Fort Belvoir, incorporating BRAC 2005 decisions, by September 30, 2006. 

The Committee fully expects contracts for the following projects 

to be awarded, as early in fiscal year 2007 as practical: 

Advanced Individual Training Barracks, Fort Meade, Maryland.—The Committee urges the Army to advance the construction 

of this facility in its Future Years Defense Plan to fiscal year 2008 

to replace the current failing facilities constructed in 1954, and 

meet the urgent housing needs for trainees at Fort Meade. 

Aviation Readiness Center Addition/Alteration, Helena Regional 

Airport, Montana.—Of the funds provided for planning and design 

in this account, the Committee directs that $3,370,000 be made 

available for the design of this facility. 

Body Repair Building, Red River Army Depot, Texas.—Of the 

funds provided for planning and design in this account, the Committee directs that $500,000 be made available for the design of 

this facility and urges the Army to include this project in its Future Years Defense Plan in the fiscal year 2008 budget submission. 

General Instruction Building, Fort Lewis, Washington.—Of the 

funds provided for unspecified minor construction in this account, 

the Committee directs that $1,500,000 be made available for the 

construction of this facility. 

Multifunction Center, Camp Rudder, Eglin Air Force Base, Florida.—Of the funds provided for unspecified minor construction in 

this account, the Committee directs that $1,450,000 be made available for the construction of this facility, which is urgently needed 

to replace a multipurpose center which was destroyed by fire in November 2005. The Committee notes that Camp Rudder is a remote 

Army Ranger enclave located on Eglin AFB, and that as a result 

of the fire, no multifunction facilities are available within 25 miles 

for the students or permanent party personnel attached to Camp 

Rudder. 

Railroad Line Spur, Wabasha, Hawthorne Army Depot, Nevada.—Of the funds provided for unspecified minor construction in 
13 

this account, the Committee directs that $1,400,000 be made available for the construction of this railroad spur. 

Regional NCO Academy, Fort Richardson, Alaska.—Of the funds 

provided for planning and design in this account, the Committee 

directs that $1,300,000 be made available for the design of this facility. 

The Committee recommends rescissions as follows:

Budget estimate, 2007 ........................................................................... 1,162,038,000 

House allowance (including rescissions) .............................................. 1,155,834,000 

Committee recommendation (including rescissions) ........................... 1,200,065,000 

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

The military construction appropriation for the Navy and Marine 

Corps provides for acquisition, construction, installation, and equipment of temporary or permanent public works, naval installations, 

facilities, and real property for the Navy and the Marine Corps. 

This appropriation also provides for facilities required as well as 

funds for infrastructure projects and programs required to support 

bases and installations around the world. 

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

The Committee recommends $1,200,065,000 for Navy and Marine 

Corps military construction for fiscal year 2007. This amount is 

$231,457,000 below the fiscal year 2006 enacted level, including rescissions and supplemental funds, and $38,027,000 above the budget request. Further detail of the Committee’s recommendation is 

provided in the State table at the end of this report. 

Master Plan, Guam.—The Committee is aware of the considerable plans of United States Pacific Command [PACOM] to expand 

the presence of the United States military on Guam, including the 

movement of approximately 8,000 Marines from Japan. The Government of Japan has agreed to pay approximately 60 percent of 

the estimated $10,300,000,000 cost of this relocation. The Committee commends the Department of Defense for engaging our allies prior to this move to ensure the moving process and its cost 

are undertaken as a partnership. Further, the Committee commends the Government of Japan for its commitment to our common defense. 

The prospect of a $10,300,000,000 construction program on the 

island of Guam is ambitious to say the least, and will require a 

well-developed master plan to efficiently use the available land and 

infrastructure. Absent this plan, the Committee has not recommended funding for two projects included in the President’s 

budget request at Anderson Air Force Base. Rather, the Committee 

recommends deferring these projects until such time as they can be 

incorporated into a master plan for Guam and viewed in that context. To that end, the Committee directs the Secretary of Defense 

to submit a master plan for Guam by December 29, 2006, to the 

Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress and 

clarifies its standing request of GAO to review overseas master 

plans, to include a review of the master planning effort for Guam. 

The Committee also directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a 

report accounting for the United States’ share of this construction 

program to project-level detail and the year in which each project 

is expected to be funded. 

The Committee recommends rescissions as follows:

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

The military construction appropriation for the Air Force provides for acquisition, construction, installation, and equipment of 

temporary or permanent public works, military installations, facilities, and real property for the Air Force. This appropriation also 

provides for facilities required as well as funds for infrastructure 

projects and programs required to support bases and installations 

around the world. 

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

The Committee recommends $1,191,175,000 for the Air Force in 

fiscal year 2007. This amount is $232,982,000 below the fiscal year 

2006 enacted level, including rescissions and supplemental funds, 

and $35,027,000 above the budget request. Further detail of the 

Committee’s recommendation is provided in the State table at the 

end of this report. 

United States Air Force Academy, Colorado.—The Committee 

notes that most of the United States Air Force Academy’s 

[USAFA’s] campus, including its dormitories, classrooms, gymnasiums, training centers, and administrative buildings, was constructed in the late 1950s. The Committee recognizes the Air Force 

invested a sizable amount of military construction funding, totaling 

$310,000,000, and operation and maintenance facility and infrastructure sustainment funding, totaling $437,600,000, at the Air 

Force Academy from fiscal year 2000 to fiscal year 2006. The Committee supported these requests and notes they were helpful in alleviating some concerns about the Academy’s infrastructure. However, the Committee understands that these requests are not sufficient to address the overall rapidly deteriorating condition of a significant portion of the USAFA campus. The Committee encourages 

the Air Force to continue its strong commitment to the Academy’s 

infrastructure. 

The Committee is interested in the Air Force’s infrastructure recapitalization plan for the Academy, and urges the Air Force to 

provide resources needed to improve the infrastructure at USAFA 

over the long-term. Therefore, the Committee directs the Air Force 

to submit a master infrastructure recapitalization plan for USAFA 

facilities by no later than March 16, 2007. The plan should include 

descriptions of the projects that are needed to improve the infrastructure required for educating, training, and equipping the cadets 

at USAFA; and a funding plan showing when the Air Force would 

expect to support the projects listed. 

The Committee fully expects contracts for the following projects 

to be awarded, as early in fiscal year 2007 as practical: 

Consolidated Base Support Center, Dyess AFB, Texas.—Of the 

funds provided for planning and design in this account, the Committee directs that $1,800,000 be made available for the design of 

this facility. 
18 

Information Technology Complex, Phase II, Wright-Patterson 

AFB, Ohio.—Of the funds provided for planning and design in this account, the Committee directs that $900,000 be made available for 

the design of this facility. 

Joint Intelligence Technical Training Facility, Phase I, Goodfellow AFB, Texas.—Of the funds provided for planning and design in this account, the Committee directs that $1,550,000 be made 

available for the design of this facility. 

Parking Structure, Los Angeles Air Force Base, California.—Of 

the funds provided for planning and design in this account, the 

Committee directs that $1,300,000 be made available for the design 

of this facility and urges the Air Force to fully fund this project in 

fiscal year 2008 to alleviate a severe parking shortage. 

33rd IOS Operations Facility, Lackland AFB, Texas.—Of the 

funds provided for planning and design in this account, the Committee directs that $1,750,000 be made available for the design of 

this facility.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

The military construction appropriation for the Department of 

Defense provides for acquisition, construction, installation, and 

equipment of temporary or permanent public works, military installations, facilities, and real property Defense-Wide. This appropriation also provides for facilities required as well as funds for infrastructure projects and programs required to support bases and 

installations around the world. 

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

The Committee recommends $1,038,216,000 for projects considered within the ‘‘Defense-Wide’’ account. This amount is $6,150,000 

below the fiscal year 2006 enacted level, including rescissions and 

supplemental funds, and $169,982,000 below the budget request. 

Further detail of the Committee’s recommendation is provided in 

the State table at the end of this report. 

CONTINGENCY CONSTRUCTION

The Committee has provided $10,000,000 for the Secretary of Defense ‘‘Contingency construction’’ account. This account provides 

funds which may be used by the Secretary of Defense for unforeseen facility requirements and military exercises, including those 

related to the global war on terror. 

ENERGY CONSERVATION INVESTMENT PROGRAM

The Committee recommends the full budget request of 

$60,000,000 for the Energy Conservation Investment Program 

[ECIP]. The Committee maintains a strong interest in renewable 

energy resources, including wind, solar, and geothermal, and commends the Services for the awards they have received for renewable energy initiatives, including the Presidential Awards for Leadership in Federal Energy Management. 

Energy Efficiency.—The Committee notes that energy efficiency 

in building practices provides significant opportunities for energy 

savings and thus cost savings for the Department of Defense. The 

Committee therefore directs the Department to incorporate the 

highest energy efficiency standards possible into the building envelopes of all construction funded under this act. ‘‘Energy efficiency’’ 

is defined as in sections 179D(c) and 45L(c) of the Internal Revenue 

Code of 1986 (26 U.S.C. 1), as amended by the Energy Policy Act 

of 2005 (Public Law 109–58). 

Water Conservation.—The Committee encourages the Department of Defense to aggressively pursue water conservation technologies in its construction projects, and notes that the Army has 

promulgated a standard for the use of waterfree urinals in new 

military construction and in major renovations of existing facilities. 

The Committee commends the Army for its adoption of this fiscally 
21 

and environmentally prudent technology, and directs the Secretary 

of the Army to report to the Committee by December 31, 2006, on 

the Army’s implementation of the new standard, including the impact on energy consumption, water use, and utility costs at facilities using the technology. The Committee encourages the Departments of the Navy and Air Force, and the Defense Agencies, to explore the adoption of similar standards for new construction and 

major renovation, as appropriate, with particular attention to facilities in arid environments. The Secretary of Defense is directed to 

report to the Committee by March 1, 2007, on the Department’s actions to integrate this and other water conserving technologies into 

its facilities. 

The Committee recommends rescissions as follows:

The Committee fully expects contracts for the following projects 

to be awarded, as early in fiscal year 2007 as practical: 

MILITARY CONSTRUCTION, ARMY NATIONAL GUARD

Armed Forces Reserve Center, Clarksdale, Mississippi.—The Committee understands a new reserve center is urgently needed at this 

location and is among the top priorities of the Mississippi Adjutant 

General. The Committee therefore urges the Army National Guard 

to accelerate planning and design for this facility with funds previously appropriated for this purpose, and to include full funding 

for this project in the fiscal year 2008 budget request. 

Armed Forces Reserve Center, Monticello, Mississippi.—The Committee understands a new reserve center is urgently needed at this 

location and is among the top priorities of the Mississippi Adjutant 

General. The Committee therefore urges the Army National Guard 

to accelerate planning and design for this facility with funds previously appropriated for this purpose, and to include full funding 

for this project in the fiscal year 2008 budget request. 

Armed Forces Reserve Center, Logan County, West Virginia.—The 

Committee understands that a new reserve center is urgently needed at this location to accommodate a major mission change and expansion resulting from the Army’s transformation and modularity 

efforts. The Committee therefore urges the Army National Guard 

to accelerate planning and design for this facility with funds previously appropriated for this purpose, and to include full funding 

for this project in the fiscal year 2008 budget request. 

Bachelor Officers Quarters/Bachelor Enlisted Quarters, Ravenna 

Training and Logistics Site, Ohio.—Of the funds provided for unspecified minor construction in this account, the Committee directs 

that $1,500,000 be made available for the construction of this barracks facility.

House allowance .................................................................................... 200,985,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 205,985,000 

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

The North Atlantic Treaty Organization [NATO] appropriation 

provides for the U.S. cost-share of the NATO Security Investment 

Program for the acquisition and construction of military facilities 

and installations (including international military headquarters) 

and for related expenses for the collective defense of the NATO 

Treaty Area. 

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

The Committee recommends $205,985,000 for the North Atlantic 

Treaty Organization [NATO] Security Investment Program for fiscal year 2007. This amount is $31,196,000 above the fiscal year 

2006 enacted level and $15,000,000 below the budget request. 

European Investment.—The United States contributes 23.2 percent of the funding provided to the NATO Security Investment Program in addition to the President’s current budget request of 

$940,000,000 for United States military construction projects at 

United States military installations in the European Theater in fiscal year 2007. Thus, while the United States contributes more than 
27 

any other country to the NATO infrastructure program, it will also 

contribute almost $1,000,000,000 unilaterally in military infrastructure in fiscal year 2007 to the common defense of the NATO 

alliance. 

It is against this backdrop that the Committee urges the United 

States’ NATO allies to increase their investment in our common defense and, as detailed in section 118 of the administrative provisions of this title, directs the Department of Defense to report to 

the Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress, no 

later than December 1, 2006, on its efforts to obtain contributions 

from our allies to our common defense. 

The Committee continues the requirement that no funds will be 

used for projects (including planning and design) related to the enlargement of NATO and the Partnership for Peace program, unless 

the Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress are 

notified 21 days in advance of the obligation of funds. 

The Department of Defense is directed to identify separately the 

level of effort anticipated for NATO enlargement and for Partnership for Peace for that fiscal year in future budget justifications. 

FAMILY HOUSING OVERVIEW

The Committee recommends $3,988,827,000 for family housing 

construction, operations and maintenance, and the Department’s 

family housing improvement fund. This amount is $493,405,000 

below the amount appropriated in fiscal year 2006, including rescissions and supplemental funds, and $95,213,000 below the fiscal 

year 2007 budget request. 

Oversight of Privatized Family Housing Projects.—The Committee is concerned that, as the inventory of military family housing transitions from direct military management to the management of private developers, the military Services remain vigilant in 

their oversight of family housing. It is imperative that the Services 

ensure private developers, once entrusted with contracts to provide 

family housing, maintain military communities not only at levels 

commensurate with the level of dedication exhibited by their occupants, but in accordance with their requirements under contract. 

To ensure this vigilance, the Committee directs the Secretary of 

Defense to submit quarterly reports to the Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress on the maintenance of family 

housing units and the contributions of housing privatization entities to the recapitalization accounts for each ongoing family housing privatization project.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

The family housing appropriation for the Army provides for expenses of family housing for construction, including acquisition, replacement, addition, expansion, extension, and alteration. This appropriation provides for the financing of all costs for construction, 
28 

improvements and leasing of all Army housing. In addition to quality of life enhancements, the program contains initiatives to reduce 

operating costs and conserve energy by upgrading or replacing facilities which can be made more efficient through relatively modest 

investments in improvements. The Department of Defense is authorized to use limited partnerships, make direct and guaranteed 

loans, and convey Department-owned property to stimulate the private sector to increase the availability of affordable, quality housing for the Army. 

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

The Committee recommends $578,791,000 for family housing construction, Army, in fiscal year 2007. This amount is $50,651,000 

above the fiscal year 2006 enacted level, including rescissions, and 

$16,200,000 below the budget request.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

The family housing appropriation for the Air Force provides for 

expenses of family housing for construction, including acquisition, 

replacement, addition, expansion, extension, and alteration. This 

appropriation provides for the financing of all costs for construction, improvements and leasing of all Air Force housing. In addition to quality of life enhancements, the program contains initiatives to reduce operating costs and conserve energy by upgrading 

or replacing facilities which can be made more efficient through relatively modest investments in improvements. The Department of 

Defense is authorized to use limited partnerships, make direct and 

guaranteed loans, and convey Department-owned property to stimulate the private sector to increase the availability of affordable, 

quality housing for the Air Force. 

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

The Committee recommends $1,115,938,000 for family housing 

construction, Air Force, in fiscal year 2007. This amount is 

$252,930,000 below the fiscal year 2006 enacted level, including rescissions and supplemental funds, and $67,200,000 below the budget request. 

Family Housing, Spangdahlem Air Base, Germany.—The Air 

Force’s fiscal year 2007 budget request to spend $39,294,000 to 

build a second phase of family housing (60 units) at Spangdahlem 

Air Base, Germany, has been of great interest to the Committee. 

In fiscal year 2006, Congress provided $45,385,000 for the first 

phase of family housing (79 units) at Spangdahlem in an effort to 

put the needs of our airmen and their families first and to demonstrate the commitment of the United States to the community 

surrounding Spangdahlem Air Base. 

The Committee has conducted extensive review of the Air Force’s 

proposed housing plan at Spangdahlem, including briefings, site 

visits to Spangdahlem Air Base and surrounding areas, and a request of GAO to review the Air Force’s methodology in undertaking 

this project. The Committee questioned the Air Force’s underlying 

assumptions, such as residual value calculations, and remains 

skeptical of its original proposal to build housing at Spangdahlem 

without first conducting an updated Housing Requirements Market 
32 

Analysis [HRMA] and measuring community interest in build-tolease housing at Spangdahlem. According to the GAO, the Air 

Force did not follow its own guidance in performing it original lifecycle cost analysis. 

Throughout this process, the Committee has supported the need 

for family housing at Spangdahlem Air Base. After this thorough 

review, the Committee recommends fully funding the President’s 

fiscal year 2007 budget request of $39,294,000 for family housing 

at Spangdahlem. However, the Committee does not expect funding 

for a third phase of housing at Spangdahlem, as originally proposed by the Air Force, to be necessary, as an updated HRMA 

should reduce the expected need and build-to-lease proposals 

should meet the remaining need at Spangdahlem. Therefore, this 

Committee does not intend to provide funding for housing at 

Spangdahlem Air Base in fiscal year 2008. 

Family Housing, Malmstrom AFB, Montana.—The Committee 

recognizes the quality of construction from past housing projects on 

Malmstrom AFB that utilized local contractors. The Committee 

therefore directs the Air Force to contract for housing at 

Malmstrom AFB in housing blocks small enough to allow local contractors to compete for these contracts and further directs the Air 

Force not to use language that may unfairly bias contract bids to 

large companies over small contractors.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

This account provides funding for design and construction of fullscale chemical disposal facilities and associated projects to upgrade 

installation support facilities and infrastructures required to support the Chemical Demilitarization Program. This account was established starting in fiscal year 2005 to comply with section 141(b) 

of the fiscal year 2003 National Defense Authorization Act. 
36 

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

The Committee recommends $140,993,000 for chemical demilitarization construction projects, an increase of $10,000,000 over the 

President’s budget request. The Committee notes that the fiscal 

year 2006 budget request did not include any funding for chemical 

demilitarization construction in the military construction program, 

but instead funded the entire chemical demilitarization program 

through the ‘‘Defense chemical agents and munitions destruction, 

Army, research and development’’ account. The $51,000,000 provided for construction activities at the Blue Grass and Pueblo sites 

in this account in fiscal year 2006 was a one-time exception to assist the Defense Department to restart work at these two sites. The 

Committee directs the Department to include future requests for 

funding in the appropriate military construction accounts.

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 191,220,000 

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

The base closure appropriation (1990) provides for clean up and 

disposal of property consistent with the four closure rounds required by the base closure Acts of 1988 and 1990. 

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

The Committee recommends a total of $191,220,000 for the Base 

Closure Account 1990. This is $61,059,000 below the fiscal year 

2006 enacted level and equal to the budget request. The Military 

Departments have assured the Committee that this level of funding, in conjunction with estimated proceeds from Navy land sales 

of $334,800,000, is adequate to address urgent requirements for fiscal year 2007 resulting from prior BRAC rounds. 

Since the start of the current process for BRAC, Military Construction Appropriations Acts have appropriated a net total of 

$23,458,554,000 for the entire program for fiscal years 1990 

through 2006. The total amount appropriated for BRAC 1990, combined with the Committee recommendation for fiscal year 2007 is 

$23,649,774,000. 

In appropriating these funds, the Committee continues to provide 

the Department with the flexibility to allocate funds by Service, 

function, and installation. The following table displays the total 

amount appropriated for each round of base closure, including 

amounts recommended for fiscal year 2007 for BRAC 1990.

Environmental Remediation, McClellan AFB, California.—The 

former McClellan Air Force Base, closed by the 1995 Base Realignment and Closure round, performed operation and maintenance 

service on aircraft involving the use, storage, and disposal of hazardous materials including industrial solvents, caustic cleansers, 

paints, metal plating wastes, low-level radioactive wastes, and a 

variety of fuel oils and lubricants. Active cleanup of solvents in soil 

and groundwater has been continuing since it first started in the 

mid 1980s. In 1987 the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 

[EPA] named McClellan a Superfund Site. 

The Committee is concerned that the funds the Air Force programs for environmental cleanup annually at McClellan are being 

diverted to bases not on the EPA’s National Priorities List [NPL]. 

The NPL highlights known releases or threatened releases of hazardous substances, pollutants, or contaminants throughout the 

United States and its territories. 

The Committee strongly urges the Air Force to accelerate cleanup efforts at McClellan, and to provide the Committees on Appropriation of both Houses of Congress, no later than December 29, 

2006, with a timetable and full accounting of past and projected 

BRAC funding for this site through the completion of the remediation process.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

The base realignment and closure appropriation for 2005 provides for clean up and disposal of property consistent with the 2005 

closure round required by the Defense Base Closure and Realignment Act of 1990 (10 U.S.C. section 2687 note). 

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

The Committee recommends a total of $5,237,100,000 for the Department of Defense Base Closure Account 2005. This amount is 

$3,747,679,000 above the fiscal year 2006 enacted level and 

$389,123,000 below the budget request. 

Jointness.—The 2005 BRAC round was undertaken in large part 

to facilitate a more ‘‘joint’’ Department of Defense. While this process requires the Services to reconcile sometimes conflicting philosophies, the Department is becoming more ‘‘joint’’ as it implements 
38 

the 2005 BRAC decisions. The chart below details joint projects to 

be carried out using BRAC 2005 funding.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

The Veterans Administration was established as an independent 

agency by Executive Order 5398 of July 21, 1930, in accordance 

with the Act of July 3, 1930 (46 Stat. 1016). This act authorized 

the President to consolidate and coordinate Federal agencies especially created for or concerned with the administration of laws providing benefits to veterans, including the Veterans’ Bureau, the Bureau of Pensions, and the National Home for Disabled Volunteer 

Soldiers. On March 15, 1989, the Veterans Administration was elevated to Cabinet-level status as the Department of Veterans Affairs 

[VA]. 

The VA’s mission is to serve America’s veterans and their families as their principal advocate in ensuring they receive the care, 

support, and recognition they have earned in service to the Nation. 

The VA’s operating units include the Veterans Benefits Administration, Veterans Health Administration, National Cemetery Administration, and staff support offices. 

The Veterans Benefits Administration [VBA] provides an integrated program of non-medical veteran benefits. The VBA administers a broad range of benefits to veterans and other eligible beneficiaries through 57 regional offices and the records processing center in St. Louis, Missouri. The benefits provided include: compensation for service-connected disabilities; pensions for wartime, needy, 

and totally disabled veterans; vocational rehabilitation assistance; 

educational and training assistance; home buying assistance; estate 

protection services for veterans under legal disability; information 

and assistance through personalized contacts; and six life insurance programs. 

The Veterans Health Administration [VHA] develops, maintains, 

and operates a national healthcare delivery system for eligible veterans; carries out a program of education and training of 

healthcare personnel; carries out a program of medical research 

and development; and furnishes health services to members of the 

Armed Forces during periods of war or national emergency. A system of 156 hospitals, 935 outpatient clinics, 135 nursing homes, 

and 43 VA domiciliary residential rehabilitation treatment programs is maintained to meet the VA’s medical mission. 

The National Cemetery Administration provides for the interment of the remains of eligible deceased servicepersons and discharged veterans in any national cemetery with available grave 
44 

space; permanently maintains these graves; provides headstones 

and markers for the graves of eligible persons in national and private cemeteries; administers the grant program for aid to States in 

establishing, expanding, or improving State veterans’ cemeteries; 

and provides certificates to families of deceased veterans recognizing the veterans’ contributions and service to the Nation. The 

National Cemetery Administration includes 158 cemeterial installations and activities. 

Other VA offices include the General Counsel, Inspector General, 

Boards of Contract Appeals and Veterans Appeals, and the general 

administration, which supports the Secretary, Deputy Secretary, 

Under Secretary for Benefits, Under Secretary for Health, and the 

Under Secretary for Memorial Affairs. 

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

The Committee recommends $77,908,797,000 for the Department 

of Veterans Affairs, including $41,415,643,000 in mandatory spending and $36,493,154,000 in discretionary spending. The amount 

provided for discretionary activities represents an increase of 

$2,240,836,000 above the fiscal year 2006 enacted level, including 

supplemental funds, and equal to the budget request. 

Administrative Policy and Legislative Proposals.—The Committee 

is deeply concerned that the Department of Veterans Affairs continues to assume congressional approval of its policy and legislative 

proposals before the Congress has done so. The current budget request has not only assumed full enactment of its proposal, the Department assumed $795,509,000 in revenue and savings as part of 

the budget request. Therefore, the Department’s budget request is 

$795,509,000 less than the stated need. This practice of under-requesting the true needs of the Department to care for our veterans, 

with the mandate that the Congress either enact the fees, shortchange veterans healthcare, or make up the difference, is not responsible budgeting. It is not a practice that the Congress should 

tolerate. Risking the healthcare service for our veterans is not a 

practice our veterans should tolerate. 

Therefore, the Department of Veterans Affairs should thoroughly 

evaluate revenue alternatives and report these alternatives to the 

proper Committees in Congress for consideration prior to including 

any such assumptions in budget requests. In the strongest terms 

possible, this Committee directs the Department not to submit another budget using assumed fees and copayments until such time 

as the Congress approves and authorizes the Department to implement new revenue enhancing policies. To do otherwise undermines 

the entire appropriations process and a system that veterans depend on for critical care. 

VETERANS BENEFITS ADMINISTRATION

Appropriations, 2006 ............................................................................. $37,360,027,000 

Budget estimate, 2007 ........................................................................... 41,569,801,000 

House allowance .................................................................................... 41,569,815,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 41,569,801,000 
45 

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

The Veterans Benefits Administration [VBA] is responsible for 

the payment of compensation and pension benefits to eligible service-connected disabled veterans. This administration also provides 

education benefits and housing loan guarantees. 

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

The Committee recommends $41,569,801,000 for the Veterans 

Benefits Administration. This amount is composed of 

$38,007,095,000 for ‘‘Compensation and pensions’’; $3,262,006,000 

for ‘‘Readjustment benefits’’; $49,850,000 for ‘‘Veterans insurance 

and indemnities’’; $196,692,000 for the ‘‘Veterans housing benefit 

program fund program account’’, with $100,000,000 in credit subsidies and $153,185,000 for administrative expenses; $53,000 for 

the ‘‘Vocational rehabilitation loans program account’’ and $305,000 

for administrative expenses; and $615,000 for the ‘‘Native American veteran housing loan program account’’. 

COMPENSATION AND PENSIONS

(INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

Appropriations, 2006 ............................................................................. $33,897,787,000 

Budget estimate, 2007 ........................................................................... 38,007,095,000 

House allowance .................................................................................... 38,007,095,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 38,007,095,000 

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

Compensation is payable to living veterans who have suffered 

impairment of earning power from service-connected disabilities. 

The amount of compensation is based upon the impact of disabilities on a veteran’s earning capacity. Death compensation or dependency and indemnity compensation is payable to the surviving 

spouses and dependents of veterans whose deaths occur while on 

active duty or result from service-connected disabilities. A clothing 

allowance may also be provided for service-connected veterans who 

use a prosthetic or orthopedic device. 

Pensions are an income security benefit payable to needy wartime veterans who are precluded from gainful employment due to 

non-service-connected disabilities which render them permanently 

and totally disabled. Under the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act 

of 1990, veterans 65 years of age or older are no longer considered 

permanently and totally disabled by law and are thus subject to a 

medical evaluation. Death pensions are payable to needy surviving 

spouses and children of deceased wartime veterans. The rate payable for both disability and death pensions is determined on the 

basis of the annual income of the veteran or their survivors. 

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

The Committee recommends $38,007,095,000 for ‘‘Compensation 

and pensions’’. This is an increase of $4,109,308,000 above the fiscal year 2006 enacted level and the same as the budget request. 

The amount includes funds for a projected fiscal year 2007 cost-ofliving increase of 2.6 percent for pension recipients. 
46 

The appropriation includes $28,112,000 in payments to the ‘‘General operating expenses’’ and ‘‘Medical services’’ accounts for expenses related to implementing provisions of the Omnibus Budget 

Reconciliation Act of 1990, the Veterans’ Benefits Act of 1992, the 

Veterans’ Benefits Improvements Act of 1994, and the Veterans’ 

Benefits Improvements Act of 1996. 

Claims Processing Wait Time.—The Committee is aware the VA 

claim processing wait time is projected to increase significantly. At 

a time when our OEF/OIF veterans are returning with significant 

injuries, the Committee believes the VA should be processing veterans claims in a more timely and efficient manner. The Committee is concerned how the VA will reduce the number of average 

days processing claims. Progress is not being made fast enough toward achieving the 125 day strategic goal. Therefore, the Committee directs the VA to provide a report on the number of new 

hires for claim processing in fiscal year 2006 and projections for 

2007, the attrition rate for claims examiners, and the projected productivity per FTE. This report is due to the Committee on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress no later than 60 days following enactment of this act. 

READJUSTMENT BENEFITS

Appropriations, 2006 ............................................................................. $3,309,234,000 

Budget estimate, 2007 ........................................................................... 3,262,006,000 

House allowance .................................................................................... 3,262,006,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 3,262,006,000 

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

The ‘‘Readjustment benefits’’ appropriation finances the education and training of veterans and servicepersons whose initial 

entry into active duty took place on or after July 1, 1985. These 

benefits are included in the All-Volunteer Force Educational Assistance Program (Montgomery GI bill) authorized under 38 U.S.C. 

section 30. Eligibility to receive this assistance began in 1987. 

Basic benefits are funded through appropriations made to the readjustment benefits appropriation and transfers from the Department 

of Defense. This account also finances vocational rehabilitation, 

specially adapted housing grants, automobile grants with the associated approved adaptive equipment for certain disabled veterans, 

and educational assistance allowances for eligible dependents of 

those veterans who died from service-connected causes or have a 

total permanent service-connected disability, as well as dependents 

of servicepersons who were captured or missing in action. 

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

The Committee recommends $3,262,006,000 for ‘‘Readjustment 

benefits’’. This is a decrease of $47,228,000 below the fiscal year 

2006 enacted level and the same as the budget request. 

VETERANS INSURANCE AND INDEMNITIES

Appropriations, 2006 ............................................................................. $45,907,000 

Budget estimate, 2007 ........................................................................... 49,850,000 

House allowance .................................................................................... 49,850,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 49,850,000 
47 

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

The ‘‘Veterans insurance and indemnities’’ appropriation consists 

of the former appropriations for military and naval insurance, applicable to World War I veterans; National Service Life Insurance, 

applicable to certain World War II veterans; Servicemen’s indemnities, applicable to Korean conflict veterans; and veterans mortgage life insurance to individuals who have received a grant for 

specially adapted housing. 

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

The Committee recommends $49,850,000 for ‘‘Veterans insurance 

and indemnities’’. This is an increase of $3,943,000 above the fiscal 

year 2006 enacted level and the same as the budget request. The 

Department estimates there will be 7,270,907 policies in force in 

fiscal year 2007 with a value of $1,100,182,000,000. 

VETERANS HOUSING BENEFIT PROGRAM FUND PROGRAM ACCOUNT

House allowance ............................................................................................................. 196,692,000 153,185,000 

Committee recommendation ........................................................................................... 196,692,000 153,185,000 

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

This appropriation provides for all costs, with the exception of 

the ‘‘Native American veteran housing loan program’’ and the 

‘‘Guaranteed transitional housing loans for homeless veterans program’’, of the VA’s direct and guaranteed housing loans, as well as 

the administrative expenses to carry out these programs. 

VA loan guaranties are made to service members, veterans, reservists and unremarried surviving spouses for the purchase of 

homes, condominiums, manufactured homes and for refinancing 

loans. VA guarantees part of the total loan, permitting the purchaser to obtain a mortgage with a competitive interest rate, even 

without a downpayment, if the lender agrees. The VA requires that 

a downpayment be made for a manufactured home. With a VA 

guaranty, the lender is protected against loss up to the amount of 

the guaranty if the borrower fails to repay the loan. 

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

The Committee recommends such sums as may be necessary for 

funding subsidy payments, estimated to total $100,000,000; and 

$153,185,000 for administrative expenses for fiscal year 2007. Bill 

language limits gross obligations for direct loans for speciallyadapted housing to $500,000.

House allowance ............................................................................................................. 67,000 305,000 

Committee recommendation ........................................................................................... 53,000 305,000 

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

This appropriation covers the funding subsidy cost of direct loans 

for vocational rehabilitation of eligible veterans and, in addition, it 

includes administrative expenses necessary to carry out the direct 

loan program. Loans of up to $977 (based on the indexed chapter 

31 subsistence allowance rate) are available to service-connected 

disabled veterans enrolled in vocational rehabilitation programs, as 

provided under 38 U.S.C. chapter 31, when the veteran is temporarily in need of additional assistance. Repayment is made in 10 

monthly installments, without interest, through deductions from 

future payments of compensation, pension, subsistence allowance, 

educational assistance allowance, or retirement pay. Most loans are 

repaid in full in less than 1 year. 

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

The Committee recommends $53,000 for program costs and 

$305,000 for administrative expenses for the ‘‘Vocational rehabilitation loans program account’’. The administrative expenses may be 

transferred to and merged with the ‘‘General operating expenses’’ 

account. Bill language is included limiting program direct loans to 

$4,242,000. It is estimated that the VA will make 4,630 loans in 

fiscal year 2007, with an average amount of $728.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

This program tests the feasibility of enabling VA to make direct 

home loans to Native American veterans who live on U.S. trust 

lands. It is a pilot program that began in 1993 and expires on December 31, 2008. Subsidy amounts necessary to support this program were appropriated in fiscal year 1993. 

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

The Committee recommends $615,000 for administrative expenses associated with this program. This is $35,000 above the fiscal year 2006 enacted level and the same as the budget request. 
49 

GUARANTEED TRANSITIONAL HOUSING LOANS FOR HOMELESS

VETERANS PROGRAM ACCOUNT

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

This program was established by Public Law 105–368, the Veterans Programs Enhancement Act of 1998. The program is a pilot 

project designed to expand the supply of transitional housing for 

homeless veterans and to guarantee up to 15 loans with a maximum aggregate value of $100,000,000. The project must enforce 

sobriety standards and provide a wide range of supportive services 

such as counseling for substance abuse and development of job 

readiness skills. 

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

All funds authorized for the ‘‘Guaranteed transitional housing 

loans for homeless veterans program account’’ have been appropriated. Therefore, additional appropriations are not required. Administrative expenses of the program, limited to $750,000 for fiscal 

year 2007, will be borne by the ‘‘Medical services’’ and ‘‘General operating expenses’’ accounts. 

VETERANS HEALTH ADMINISTRATION

Appropriations, 2006 ............................................................................. $29,340,517,000 

Budget estimate, 2007 ........................................................................... 32,657,000,000 

House allowance .................................................................................... 32,695,000,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 32,670,000,000 

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

The Department of Veterans Affairs operates the largest Federal 

medical care delivery system in the country, with 156 hospitals, 43 

VA domicilary residential rehabilitation treatment programs, 135 

nursing homes, and 935 outpatient clinics, which include independent, satellite, community-based, and rural outreach clinics. 

The Department of Veterans Affairs ‘‘Medical care collections 

fund’’ [MCCF] was established by the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 

(Public Law 105–33). In fiscal year 2004, Public Law 108–199 allowed the Department to deposit first-party and pharmacy co-payments; third-party insurance payments and enhanced use collections; long-term care co-payments; Compensated Work Therapy 

Program collections; Compensation and Pension Living Expenses 

Program collections; and Parking Program fees into the MCCF. 

The Parking Program provides funds for the construction, alteration, and acquisition (by purchase or lease) of parking garages at 

VA medical facilities authorized by 38 U.S.C. section 8109. The 

Secretary is required under certain circumstances to establish and 

collect fees for the use of such garages and parking facilities. Receipts from the parking fees are to be deposited into the MCCF and 

are used for medical services activities. 

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

The Committee recommends $32,670,000,000 for the ‘‘Veterans 

Health Administration’’, without collections. This amount is composed of $28,689,000,000 for ‘‘Medical services’’; $3,569,000,000 for 
50 

‘‘Medical facilities’’; and $412,000,000 for ‘‘Medical and prosthetic 

research’’. Medical care collections are expected to be 

$2,329,000,000. Therefore, VHA will have total resources of 

$34,999,000,000, plus any carryover from fiscal year 2006, available in fiscal year 2007. 

AREAS OF INTEREST

HealtheVet-Vista Electronic Health Records.—The Committee 

lauds the VA on its accomplishments with its electronic health 

record system. This premier system sets the standard for quality 

healthcare in both the public and private sectors. HealtheVet-Vista, 

an on-line patient records system, has made it possible for physicians and clinicians to have accurate and timely access to all relevant information on the veteran’s health, thus enabling the best 

healthcare for the veteran. HealtheVet-Vista has the potential to 

revolutionize the healthcare system in the United States, and the 

Committee fully supports the VA’s efforts in improving the quality 

of healthcare delivery. 

VA–DOD Bi-Directional Health Information Exchange.—Recently 

the VA and DOD began live production testing of computable pharmacy and allergy data. The Departments of Veterans Affairs and 

Defense achieved the first-ever bi-directional exchange of standardized and computable pharmacy and allergy data in a live patient 

care environment. Using a new jointly developed interface known 

as ‘‘CHDR’’ clinicians from the William Beaumont Army Medical 

Center at Ft. Bliss, Texas, and the El Paso VA Healthcare System 

exchanged pharmacy and allergy data on patients who were receiving healthcare from both healthcare systems. Production testing 

also demonstrated CHDR’s ability to support automatic drug-drug 

and drug-allergy order checking for these same patients. This unprecedented achievement is expected to have a significant impact 

upon the ability of VA and DOD to deliver safe, effective care to 

shared patients. The Committee lauds the Department on this accomplishment and encourages the Department to continue testing 

this new technology. 

The DOD has now established the Clinical Data Repository in El 

Paso, Texas. The William Beaumont Army Medical Center at Fort 

Bliss hosts a co-located DOD/VA medical facility. To enhance the 

use of this technology, the VA is directed to continue the VA/DOD 

demonstration project at the William Beaumont Army Medical 

Center. 

Traumatic Brain Injury.—The Committee is concerned that a 

growing number of veterans returning from combat operations 

overseas are not being properly screened for Traumatic Brain Injury [TBI]. Although TBI clinically presents many of the signs and 

symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder [PTSD], these two serious medical conditions require separate and distinct treatment 

programs. The Committee encourages the Department of Veterans 

Affairs, in coordination with the four Polytrauma Centers in Minneapolis, Minnesota; Palo Alto, California; Richmond, Virginia; and 

Tampa, Florida, to establish a separate education and diagnosis 

screening program for VA medical centers and VET Centers that 

is distinct from current PTSD programs. 
51 

Diabetes.—The Committee is encouraged by the Department’s 

work on diabetes and obesity. Twenty percent of the veteran population is affected by this disease. The Committee encourages the 

VA to continue this important work and expand on its public-private partnerships in the area of nutrition, diabetes, obesity and 

health-oriented research. 

The Committee also recognizes that the technology to closely 

monitor diabetics in patients’ homes or daily environments is rapidly advancing. These advances depend on the reliable collection of 

accurate blood glucose data from patients and coaching feedback to 

patients. 

The Committee is aware that any solution to home-based monitoring of diabetes must be readily accessible, easy to use, and as 

effective as possible in managing veterans’ diabetes. Because telephones are nearly universally accessible, when combined with third 

generation advanced voice interactive protocols, a voice interactive 

system can provide patients with a familiar and readily available 

management tool that other technologies do not. Such technologies 

combined with patient blood glucose data uploads could be especially useful in reaching homebound veterans or veterans who live 

outside of urban areas. The Committee encourages the VA to pursue these promising interactive technologies. 

Furthermore, the Committee is sensitive to the fact that there is 

no current standard for the transfer of data from blood glucose meters to programs in the VA healthcare centers via wire or wireless 

methods. The Committee recommends that the VA work with the 

providers of diabetes monitoring programs to establish standards 

for data transfer between blood glucose meters and remote diabetes 

monitoring programs so that this process can be fully tested for the 

benefit of diabetic veterans nationwide. 

Age-Related Hearing Loss.—The Committee recognizes the incidence and severity of age-related hearing loss and that their associated costs are increasing at dramatic rates. Currently, there are no 

approved therapeutics that either prevent or treat age-related 

hearing loss, a leading cause of disability and costs within the VA. 

The Committee encourages the VA to examine and support the development and testing of therapeutics aimed at preventing and 

treating age-related hearing loss. 

Advanced Nursing Education.—The Committee urges the VA in 

conjunction with accredited schools of nursing to explore the development of a fast track doctoral training program which would facilitate completion of a Ph.D. in nursing by qualified nurses employed within the VA network who possess their bachelor of science 

in nursing. 

Lung Cancer Screening.—The Committee encourages the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to institute a pilot program for lung cancer screening, early diagnosis and treatment among high risk veteran populations to be coordinated and partnered with the International Early Lung Cancer Action Program and its member institutions and with the designated sites of the National Cancer Institute’s Lung Cancer Specialized Programs of Research Excellence. 

The Department shall report back to the Committee on Appropriations within 90 days of enactment of this act, on a proposal for this 

program. 
52 

Veterans Affairs Bio-Based Packaging Public Private Partnership.—The Congress is interested in encouraging the use of biobased products wherever possible through implementation of section 9002 of the 2002 farm bill. The Department shall develop a 

program for the use of bio-based products as part of its food service 

operations, consistent with section 9002 of the 2002 farm bill, utilizing bio-based products to the maximum extent feasible in facilities where disposable food service products are used. The Department shall report to the Congress by December 31, 2007, and annually thereafter, on its progress in developing and utilizing biobased food service products, cleaning supplies, and other products 

as may be available in its operations, and the cost-savings realized 

or increases incurred as a result of such products.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

The ‘‘Medical services’’ account combines programs and funding 

into one account previously appropriated as ‘‘Medical services’’ and 

‘‘Medical administration’’. 

The ‘‘Medical services’’ account provides for medical services of 

eligible veterans and beneficiaries in VA medical centers, outpatient clinic facilities, contract hospitals, State homes, and outpatient programs on a fee basis. Hospital and outpatient care is 

also provided by the private sector for certain dependents and survivors of veterans under the civilian health and medical programs 

for the VA. 

This account also provides funds for the expenses of management, security, and administration of the VA healthcare system. 

This appropriation provides for costs associated with the operation 

of VA medical centers; other facilities; and VHA headquarters; plus 

the costs of VISN offices and facility director offices; chief of staff 

operations; quality of care oversight; legal services; billing and coding activities; procurement; financial management; human resource 

management; and medical program information technology personnel services, travel, and training. 

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

The Committee recommends $28,689,000,000 for ‘‘Medical services’’. This amount is an increase of $3,058,152,000 over the fiscal 

year 2006 enacted level and equal to the budget request. In addition, the VA has the authority to retain co-payments and thirdparty collections, estimated to total $2,329,000,000 in fiscal year 

2007. 

The Committee has included bill language to make available 

through September 30, 2008, up to $1,350,000,000 of the ‘‘Medical 

services’’ appropriation. This provides flexibility to the Department 
53 

of Veterans Affairs as it continues to implement significant program changes. 

The bill does not include requested language to allow for the transfer of $15,000,000 to the DOD/VA Health Care Sharing Incentive Fund. The Committee notes that the Fund has a large unobligated balance in its fourth year of existence, and additional funds 

are not recommended at this time. 

AREAS OF INTEREST

Centers of Excellence.—Public Law 109–114 created three Centers of Excellence specializing in mental health and post-traumatic 

stress disorder [PTSD]. These centers could not have come at a 

more appropriate time. A recent DOD questionnaire determined 

many of the OEF/OIF service members are returning from the conflict at a high risk for PTSD. The Committee is very interested to 

determine what progress has been made with the three centers, 

Waco VAMC, Texas; San Diego VAMC, California; and 

Canandaigua VAMC, New York, to address mental health care, 

and when these centers will be operational. The VA is directed to 

submit a status report on each of these Centers to the Committees 

of Appropriations of both Houses of Congress no later than 60 days 

following enactment of this act. 

Center for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.—The Committee commends the Center for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder at the White 

River Junction, VA Medical Center, Vermont. This facility has directly benefited VA medical centers across the country, as well as 

numerous other local, State and Federal governmental agencies. 

The Subcommittee encourages the VA to fund the Center’s budget 

commensurate with its activities and responsibilities. 

Blind Rehabilitative Service.—The VA’s Blind Rehabilitative 

Service is known world-wide for its excellence in delivering comprehensive blind rehabilitation to our Nation’s blind veterans at 10 

VA Blind Rehabilitation Centers. On July, 22, 2004, GAO testified 

before Congress that more outpatient services for blind veterans 

and better outpatient training could better meet the demands of today’s blind veteran population. Since 1940, the VA has focused its 

training and treatment at inpatient facilities. While the VA should 

continue to support and maintain its inpatient capacity at its Blind 

Rehabilitation Centers, it should also begin to expand its treatment 

for blind veterans through outpatient services closer to where veterans live. Within the amount provided in the medical services account, the Committee directs the VA to begin implementing a plan 

to expand more outpatient blind rehabilitation services and training consistent with the recommendations of the GAO report: ‘‘More 

Outpatient Rehabilitation Services for Blind Veterans Could Better 

Meet their Needs’’ (GAO–04–996T); the conclusions of the VA’s Office of Finance and Allocation Resource Center; and the recommendations of the VA’s Visual Impairment Advisory Board 

[VIAB]. The full continuum of outpatient blind and low vision rehabilitation services will include Visual Impairment Services Outpatient Rehabilitation [VISOR], Blind Rehabilitation Specialists, 

and Visual Impairment Center to Optimize Remaining Site [VICTORS]. Additionally, the Committee is concerned about current 

and future staffing levels of existing and expanded programs and 
54 

directs the VA to report back to the Committees on Appropriations 

of both Houses of Congress within 120 days after the enactment of 

this act, the status of the expansion of these services and the current and planned staffing levels of both inpatient Blind Rehabilitation Centers and the newly established outpatient services. 

Readjustment Counseling.—The Committee recognizes the increased and ongoing pressures facing military families, and believes it is important to take a proactive, preemptive approach in 

helping veterans, particularly those in the National Guard and Reserves, and their families adjust to deployments and the transition 

home after the battlefield. Vet Centers serve as the front line for 

many veterans and their families. A program has been developed 

that has been successfully utilized by Army families, which focuses 

on goals, family strengthening, and communication as tools to deal 

with stressful situations. The program can be successfully facilitated by Vet Center staff and can help veterans and their families 

to deal with both the transition from active duty to civilian life and 

the call up to active duty for National Guardsmen and Reservists. 

The Committee encourages VA to look at the DOD program and 

consider applying it to the veteran population. 

G.V. Montgomery National Center for the Study of Veterans’ Education Policy, Mississippi State University, Mississippi.—The Committee notes the advent of the G.V. ‘‘Sonny’’ Montgomery National 

Center for the Study of Veterans’ Education Policy at Mississippi 

State University and encourages the VA to seek out opportunities 

to work with the Center as it goes about the important work of research on veterans’ education and training issues. 

MEDICAL FACILITIES

Appropriations, 2006 ............................................................................. $3,297,669,000 

Budget estimate, 2007 ........................................................................... 3,569,000,000 

House allowance .................................................................................... 3,594,000,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 3,569,000,000 

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

The ‘‘Medical facilities’’ account provides funds for the operation 

and maintenance of the VA healthcare system’s vast capital infrastructure. This appropriation provides for costs associated with 

utilities, engineering, capital planning, leases, laundry and food 

services, groundskeeping, housekeeping, facility repair, and property disposition and acquisition. 

The Committee has included bill language to make available through September 30, 2008, up to $250,000,000 of the medical facilities appropriation. This provision provides flexibility to the Department as it continues to implement significant program 

changes. 

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

The Committee recommends $3,569,000,000 for ‘‘Medical facilities’’. This amount is $271,331,000 above the fiscal year 2006 enacted level and equal to the budget request. 

Community-Based Outpatient Clinics.—The Committee continues 

to support the VA’s efforts to provide healthcare delivery to veterans in rural areas through its community-based outpatient clin-
55 

ics [CBOCs]. The CBOCs play an important role in outreach to veterans, Reserves, and Guard forces in areas not served by major 

medical facilities. 

As a result of the direction from the Committee in the fiscal year 

2006 appropriations conference report (H. Rept. 109–305) the VA 

submitted a report on the status of establishing Community-Based 

Outpatient Clinics [CBOCs] in locations around the country. While 

the Committee appreciates the update from the VA on the Capital 

Asset Realignment for Enhanced Services [CARES] Initiatives on 

CBOCs, it remains concerned about the VA’s ability to open CBOCs 

in a timely fashion. The Committee encourages the VA to place an 

emphasis on opening new CBOCs especially in areas that lack VA 

primary care. Additionally, the Committee encourages the VA to 

move forward establishing clinics in Bellingham and Centralia, 

Washington; Alpena, Michigan; and in rural Colorado. The Committee is concerned that some rural areas throughout the country 

lack primary and secondary medical services for their veteran population. The Committee encourages the VA to study the feasibility 

of contracting these services in rural areas that lack VA inpatient 

or outpatient facilities or services. 

The Committees directs the VA to submit a report outlining the 

location of the CBOCs opened in fiscal year 2006 and the locations 

planned in fiscal year 2007. This report shall be due to the Committees on Appropriations in both Houses of Congress within 60 

days following enactment of this act. 

MEDICAL AND PROSTHETIC RESEARCH

Appropriations, 2006 ............................................................................. $412,000,000 

Budget estimate, 2007 ........................................................................... 399,000,000 

House allowance .................................................................................... 412,000,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 412,000,000 

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

The ‘‘Medical and prosthetic research’’ account provides funds for 

medical, rehabilitative, and health services research. Medical research supports basic and clinical studies that advance knowledge 

leading to improvements in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases and disabilities. Rehabilitation research focuses 

on rehabilitation engineering problems in the fields of prosthetics, 

orthotics, adaptive equipment for vehicles, sensory aids and related 

areas. Health services research focuses on improving the effectiveness and economy of the delivery of health services. 

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

The Committee recommends $412,000,000 for ‘‘Medical and prosthetic research’’. This is equal to the fiscal year 2006 enacted level 

and $13,000,000 above the budget request. 

The Committee remains highly supportive of this program, and 

recognizes its importance both in improving healthcare services to 

veterans and recruiting and retaining high-quality medical professionals in the Veterans Health Administration. 

Gulf War Illness Research Center of Excellence.—The Committee 

commends the VA for establishing a center of excellence devoted to 

gulf war illness research, at the University of Texas, Southwestern 
56 

Medical Center [UTSMC] in collaboration with the VA Medical 

Center in Dallas, Texas. This center is the result of the Research 

Advisory Committee on Gulf War Veterans’ Illness’ [RAC/GWVI] 

report recommendation to develop a comprehensive Federal research plan to address gulf war veterans illnesses by adopting a 

strategic research program that identifies and addresses key medical questions. As specified in the Joint Explanatory Statement of 

the Committee of Conference accompanying Public Law 109–114 

and in accordance with RAC’s funding recommendation, the Committee directs the Department to continue devoting at least 

$15,000,000 to gulf war illness research in this fiscal year and the 

next 3 years through this collaborative center. 

Gulf War Illness Research and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis 

[ALS].—Recent studies conducted by the Houston VA Medical Center, in conjunction with Baylor College of Medicine, have shown 

gulf war veterans were twice as likely to develop amyotrophic lateral schlerosis (ALS, also known as ‘‘Lou Gehrig’s disease’’) than 

the general population. The Committee encourages the VA to continue researching ALS to determine the relationship to the high incidence of ALS among our gulf war veterans. 

Nursing Research Program.—The Committee encourages collaboration between the VA nurses and Tri-Service Nursing Research 

Program award recipients in the exploration of research proposals 

that improve the health and well-being of their shared beneficiary 

population. 

Myeloma Initiative.—Multiple Myeloma is a cancer of the plasma 

cell, a treatable but uncurable disease. The Committee understands 

the VA is working closely with the Multiple Myeloma Research 

Foundation to establish patient education programs to inform affected veterans about this rare blood cancer disease and the proper 

treatment. The Committee is highly supportive and directs the VA 

to work with the University of Maryland to develop a pilot program 

on a Tablet PC Patient Education System. The Committee envisions this pilot program to test the use of Tablet PCs in a minimum of four VA medical facilities. 

Joint Research Initiative.—The Committee understands that the 

Department has been involved in discussions with the Israeli Ministry of Defense regarding a number of research issues including 

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, virtual reality rehabilitation for 

motor recovery and ambulatory training for veterans with prosthetic limbs, and robotic rehabilitation trials for the neurologically 

impaired and for veterans with missing limbs. The Committee is 

supportive of continued discussions regarding the possibility of developing a working group composed of the Veterans Health Administration, the Israeli Ministry of Defense, clinicians, and researchers that would guide collaborative research in these areas. 

Not later than March 1, 2007, the Secretary shall submit to the 

Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress a report 

that describes: (1) the ways in which the Department of Veterans 

Affairs and Israel have cooperated on Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, virtual reality rehabilitation for motor recovery and ambulatory training for veterans with prosthetic limbs, and robotic rehabilitation trials for the neurologically impaired and for veterans 
57 

with missing limbs; (2) projects initiated; and (3) plans for future 

cooperation and joint projects. 

Parkinson’s Disease and Multiple Sclerosis.—The Committee 

commends the work of the Parkinson’s Disease Research Education 

and Clinical Centers [PADRECCs] and Multiple Sclerosis Centers 

of Excellence [MSCoEs] in the Veterans Health Administration of 

the Department of Veterans Affairs. The six PADRECCs and two 

MSCoEs serve veterans across the entire Veterans Health Administration via a nationally coordinated system. These centers are the 

model of innovation in the delivery of highly specialized healthcare 

and research for chronic disease in the veteran population. The 

Committee commends the PADRECCs and MSCoEs for conducting 

clinical and basic science research, administering national outreach 

and education programs, and providing state-of-the-art clinical care 

vital not only to veterans, but to the entire Nation. The Committee 

encourages continued support and funding for the Parkinson’s Disease Research Education and Clinical Centers and Multiple Sclerosis Centers of Excellence. 

Longitudinal Study.—In 1984 Congress directed the VA to initiate a large-scale survey of the psychiatric and socio-medical components of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder [PTSD] in Vietnam and 

Vietnam-era veterans. The National Vietnam Veterans Readjustment Study [NVVRS] is the largest nationwide psychiatric study 

ever done to date. Only through the NVVRS has the American public and medical community become aware of the high rates of current and lifetime PTSD, and of the long-term consequences of high 

stress war zone combat exposure. In 2000, Congress directed the 

VA to contract for a follow-up report, using the exact same participants, to assess the psychosocial, psychiatric, physical, and general 

well being of these individuals. The follow-up report would become 

a longitudinal study of the mortality and morbidity of the participants, and draw conclusions as to the long-term effects of service 

in the military and of service in Vietnam in particular. The results 

of the study were to be reported to Congress in 2005, but the study 

has not been executed to date. The results of the study would not 

only help the VA to better understand the long-term mental health 

and social needs of Vietnam veterans, but could prepare the VA for 

the long-term needs of Iraq and Afghanistan veterans who are returning in record numbers with PTSD. The Committee directs the 

Department to report to the Committees on Appropriations of both 

Houses of Congress, within 60 days of enactment of this act, on a 

plan to complete this study, to include its legal ability to obtain the 

original data and the anticipated cost of completing the study. 

Educational Outreach Program.—The Committee is aware that 

many veterans who were part of Department of Defense programs 

that conducted chemical and biological warfare testing from 1962 

through 1973, including the program designated as Project Shipboard Hazard and Defense [SHAD], are presenting themselves to 

VA medical facilities with unrecognizable or confusing medical 

symptoms. The Committee encourages the Department of Veterans 

Affairs to coordinate with the Department of Defense on an educational outreach program to all VA medical facilities to educate 

VA medical professionals regarding the symptoms of such testing 
58 

and services veterans are eligible for pertaining to hospital care, 

medical services, and nursing home care. 

Mental Health/PTSD.—The Committee is aware of the significant impact combat stress and its related mental health disorders 

have on the lives of returning soldiers. The Committee encourages 

the Center for Faith-Based and Community Initiatives [CFBCI] 

and the Centers of Excellence for Mental Health/PTSD, all VA entities, to work jointly in support of faith-based and community organizations assisting veterans diagnosed with mental health disorders.

59 

certain dependents, and permanently to maintain their graves; to 

provide headstones for, and to mark graves of eligible persons in 

national, State, and private cemeteries; to administer the grant 

program for aid to States in establishing, expanding, or improving 

State veterans’ cemeteries; and to administer the Presidential Memorial Certificate Program. 

There are a total of 158 cemeterial installations in 39 States, the 

District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. The Committee’s recommendation for the National Cemetery Administration provides 

funds for all of these cemeterial installations. 

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

The Committee recommends $160,733,000 for the ‘‘National Cemetery Administration’’. This is an increase of $4,086,000 over the 

fiscal year 2006 enacted level and the same as the budget request. 

Pikes Peak Region and El Paso County, Colorado.—The Pikes 

Peak region and El Paso County, Colorado, have 125,000 veterans. 

There is no national veterans’ cemetery in this region of the State. 

The Committee encourages the Department of Veterans Affairs to 

consider establishing a veterans’ cemetery in the Pikes Peak region 

of Colorado.

Major Construction Planning.—The Committee is concerned 

about the large number of major construction projects underway. 

There are numerous projects in various stages of completion that 

need additional funding. There are other projects with full funding 

that are behind schedule. The Department has now requested additional project funds to begin new projects. While the Committee understands the schedule timelines for large construction projects, the 

Department’s request for only $399,000,000 this year is not consistent with its stated construction schedule priority processes. 

Therefore, the Department is directed to submit a report to the 

Committees on Appropriations in both Houses of Congress by April 

1, 2007, on the Department’s entire construction program. This report shall contain a list of all projects that have received funding 

in this and previous appropriations acts, specifying total project 

cost, scheduled completion date, reason for delay, if applicable, and 

additional funding needed. 

Orlando, Florida, Medical Care Facility.—In 2004, Congress ap- propriated $25,000,000 for a medical care facility at Orlando, Florida. Since then, VA has made no progress on the design and construction of this hospital. The Committee directs the Department 

to submit a report to the Committees on Appropriations in both 

Houses of Congress no later than 60 days following enactment of 

this act, on the status of the Orlando, Florida, medical care facility 

project and the reason for the delay in construction. 

Beckley, West Virginia, Nursing Home.—The Committee urges the Department of Veterans Affairs to include $28,500,000 in the 

President’s fiscal year 2008 budget request for the construction of 

a 90-bed nursing home and adult day care center at the Beckley 

Veterans Affairs Medical Center, which was listed in the VA’s February 2005 Five-Year Capital Plan, 2005–2010. 

Martinsburg, West Virginia, Veterans Affairs Medical Center.— The Committee urges the Department of Veterans Affairs to include an amount of $3,560,000 in the President’s fiscal year 2008 

budget request for planning and design work associated with the 

renovation and expansion of the primary, mental health, and specialty outpatient care at the Martinsburg Veterans Affairs Medical 

Center, which was listed in the VA’s February 2005 Five-Year Capital Plan, 2005–2010. 

Relocation of PTSD Program.—Last year, the VA Pacific Islands 

Health Care System [PIHCS] relocated the Post-Traumatic Stress 

Disorder Residential Rehabilitation Program from Hilo to temporary space at the Tripler Army Medical Center campus in Honolulu, Hawaii. The relocation was intended to consolidate and expand existing resources into a single location to allow VA PICHS 

to treat patients with chronic PTSD and acute PTSD, including 

OEF/OIF veterans. However, the temporary space in which the 

program is currently located is inadequate. The Committee understands that a permanent relocation project is included in the list 
63 

of VA potential construction projects for fiscal year 2007. The Committee encourages VA to find a permanent facility in which to 

house the PTSD Residential Rehabilitation Program. 

West Los Angeles, California Veterans Affairs Medical Center.— 

The Committee includes a provision which directs the Secretary of 

the Department of Veterans Affairs to submit a report on the Master Plan for the West Los Angeles Veterans Affairs Medical Center 

and its land. The Committee understands that this report was 

mandated as part of Public Law 105–368, yet the Department has 

not produced the report. Therefore, the Committee has included 

similar language as the original requirement. Further, the Committee has included a section requiring the VA to allow 120 days 

after submission of the report to the Committees on Appropriations 

before implementing any recommendations made within the report. 

Additionally, any recommendation which does not provide direct 

services for veterans requires approval of the Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress before implementation. 

Nothing contained within the provision shall be construed to prevent the Department of Veterans Affairs from providing maintenance, services, or programs consistent with the mission of the VA. 

CONSTRUCTION, MINOR PROJECTS

Appropriations, 2006 (including supplemental) .................................. $200,737,000 

Budget estimate, 2007 ........................................................................... 198,000,000 

House allowance .................................................................................... 210,000,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 168,000,000 

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

The ‘‘Construction, minor projects’’ account provides for constructing, altering, extending, and improving any of the facilities 

(including parking) under the jurisdiction or for the use of the VA, 

including planning, CARES activities, assessment of needs, architectural and engineering services, and site acquisition, where the 

estimated cost of a project is equal to or less than the amount set 

forth in 38 U.S.C. section 8104(a)(3)(4). Public Law 106–117, the 

Veterans Millennium Health Care and Benefits Act of 1999, gave 

the VA the authority to make capital contributions from minor construction in enhanced-use leases. Proceeds realized from enhanceduse lease activities may be deposited into the ‘‘Construction, major 

projects’’ and ‘‘Construction, minor projects’’ accounts. 

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

The Committee recommends $168,000,000 for minor construction. This is $32,737,000 below the fiscal year 2006 enacted level, 

including supplemental funds, and $30,000,000 below the budget 

request. 

GRANTS FOR CONSTRUCTION OF STATE EXTENDED CARE FACILITIES

Appropriations, 2006 ............................................................................. $85,000,000 

Budget estimate, 2007 ........................................................................... 85,000,000 

House allowance .................................................................................... 105,000,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 85,000,000 
64 

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

This account is used to provide grants to assist States in acquiring or constructing State home facilities for furnishing domiciliary 

or nursing home care to veterans, and to expand, remodel or alter 

existing buildings for furnishing domiciliary, nursing home, or hospital care to veterans in State homes. The grant may not exceed 

65 percent of the total cost of the project. Public Law 102–585 

granted permanent authority for this program, and Public Law 

106–117 provided greater specificity in directing VA to prescribe 

regulations for the number of beds for which grant assistance may 

be furnished. This program has been a successful partnership between the States and the VA in meeting the long-term care needs 

of elderly veterans for decades. 

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

The Committee recommends $85,000,000 for ‘‘Grants for the construction of State extended care facilities’’. This is the same as the 

fiscal year 2006 enacted level and equal to the budget request. This 

program cost-effectively meets long-term healthcare needs of veterans. 

Life and Safety Requirements.—The Committee is extremely concerned about the existing State veterans nursing homes cited in 

violation of structural conditions which threaten the life and safety 

of its residents. The VA has the responsibility to provide Federal 

assistance to correct these life and safety violations to the best interests and care of our veterans. Therefore, the Department shall 

report to the Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress no later than 60 days after enactment of this act on its plan 

to rectify these critical life safety issues. 

GRANTS FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF STATE VETERANS CEMETERIES

Appropriations, 2006 ............................................................................. $32,000,000 

Budget estimate, 2007 ........................................................................... 32,000,000 

House allowance .................................................................................... 32,000,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 32,000,000 

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

Public Law 105–368, amended title 38 U.S.C. section 2408, established authority to provide aid to States for establishment, expansion, and improvement of State veterans cemeteries which are operated and permanently maintained by the States. This statutory 

change increased the maximum Federal share from 50 percent to 

100 percent in order to fund construction costs and the initial 

equipment expenses when the cemetery is established. The States 

remain responsible for providing the land and for paying all costs 

related to the operation and maintenance of the State cemeteries, 

including the costs for subsequent equipment purchases. 

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

The Committee recommends $32,000,000 for ‘‘Grants for the construction of State veterans cemeteries’’. This is the same as the fiscal year 2006 enacted level and equal to the budget request.

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SYSTEMS

Appropriations, 2006 ............................................................................. $1,213,820,000 

Budget estimate, 2007 ........................................................................... 1,257,000,000 

House allowance .................................................................................... 1,302,330,000 

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 1,255,900,000 

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

The Information Technology Systems account was established in 

Public Law 109–114. The account encompasses the entire non-pay 

information technology portfolio for the Department of Veterans Affairs, including all automation efforts in all administrations. 

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

The Committee recommends $1,255,900,000 for ‘‘Information 

technology systems’’ [IT]. This amount is $42,080,000 above the fiscal year 2006 enacted level and $1,100,000 below the budget request. The recommended amount reflects a decrease of $1,100,000 

which is transferred to the Office of Inspector General for information technology systems. 

Personnel Cost.—When the personnel associated cost for IT maintenance and operations support is moved under the purview of the 

CIO, the Department may elect to move funding under such a 

heading to this ‘‘Information technology systems’’ account. 

Information Security.— The Committee is deeply concerned with 

the vulnerabilities in the VA’s information technology and security 

system which leaves our veterans’ personal data information at 

high risk for fraud and identity theft. For the past 4 years, the Inspector General cited in his reports the ‘‘VA’s systems remain vulnerable to unauthorized access and misuse of sensitive information 

and data,’’ yet the VA did not take positive steps to rectify this. As 

the second largest department in the Federal Government, the VA 

is responsible to maintain and protect the data for millions of veterans’ personal, financial, and medical data information. The VA 

cannot continue to operate with an information security program 

which does not secure its veterans’ data information. The Committee directs the VA to report to the Committees on Appropriations in both Houses of Congress no later than December 30, 2006, 

on the measures the VA is taking to secure its database from employee downloading or copying sensitive information. 

Information Technology System Reorganization.—In fiscal year 

2006, the Committees directed the Secretary of the VA to reorganize the program office’s information technology systems into one 

office with the authority to manage the entire IT portfolio. The congressional intent for the VA IT reorganization was to produce a coordinated, systematic, and efficient information technology portfolio 

management system. The Committee directs the VA to provide a 

report to the Committees on Appropriations in both Houses of Congress within 60 days following the enactment of this act, on the 

current status of funds and the related progress on organizing this 

IT oversight program. 

E-Gov Initiatives.—This bill does not contain any funding for the 

E-Gov initiatives as specified in the administration’s request. The 

Committee is not convinced these initiatives add value to the De-
66 

partment of Veterans Affairs. From fiscal year 2005 to fiscal year 

2006, the VA’s E-Gov obligations increased by 60.31 percent. For 

fiscal year 2007, VA’s E-Gov request increases by 5.93 percent over 

the fiscal year 2006 enacted level, from $10,768,000 to $11,407,000. 

The Committee is concerned the funds needed for this program are 

growing at an alarming rate, while the utility to the VA is taking 

the opposite track. Future budget request for E-Gov initiatives 

should include a detailed explanation of how they directly benefit 

the Department of Veterans Affairs. 

Financial and Logistics Integrated Technology Enterprise 

[FLITE].—The VA is at the beginning stages of developing its financial and logistics integrated technology enterprise [FLITE] system. The VA needs a comprehensive accounting and financial management system as mandated by the Chief Financial Officers Act 

of 1990. The Committee is pleased to see the VA is approaching 

FLITE in incremental steps and is more vigilant over cost and performance by contractors. The Committee expects the VA to benefit 

from lessons learned by the preceding project. It is imperative the 

VA has complete oversight of a contractor’s work and enforces any 

requirements if the contractor fails to deliver in a timely and cost 

effective manner. In the final stages of development, the VA must 

provide quality training to its employees if it expects quality outcome delivered from this system. The Committee directs the VA to 

submit a semi-annual progress report on FLITE to the Committees 

on Appropriations in both Houses of Congress until this project 

reaches completion. 

Automated Collateral Management System.—The Committee encourages the Department to consider implementing a national 

automated collateral management/appraisal management system. 

Such a system would greatly increase the efficiency of loan origination appraisals. 

Regional Data Center Consolidation.—The VA is undergoing a regional data center consolidation effort to decrease maintenance cost 

on their key applications. The VISN headquarters in Jackson, Mississippi, is an ideal location for a regional center. As the VA continues to evaluate locations for these centers, the Committee recommends Jackson, Mississippi, be included as a possible location.
