CHAPTER 2

SUBCOMMITTEE ON DEFENSE

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

OVERVIEW

The Department of Defense has requested supplemental appropriations for fiscal year 2001 that total $5,457,700,000. The Committee recommends net appropriations of $5,451,700,000, a reduction of $6,000,000 to the request. The Committee’s recommendation

is the result of approving fiscal year 2001 budget authority of

$6,243,700,000, to be offset by rescissions of $792,000,000.

Based on a thorough review, the Committee recommends minor

adjustments to the request. The Committee has determined that,

in several cases, funds requested could be provided in fiscal year

2002 without harm to programs. This enabled the Committee to reallocate funds to operations and support programs to help minimize

shortfalls. For example, the Committee recommends increases for

building maintenance, spare parts purchases, and health care activities for requirements identified by the military services. Details

about these and all other Committee recommendations are provided in the following report.

MILITARY PERSONNEL

OVERVIEW

The Department requests fiscal year 2001 supplemental appropriations of $515,000,000 for the military personnel accounts.
3

The request includes $116,000,000 to fund several new military

personnel costs approved in the Floyd D. Spence National Defense

Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2001 (Public Law 106–398).

These newly authorized military pays and allowances include: an

increase in basic pay rates for paygrades E–5, E–6, and E–7 effective July 1, 2001 (NDAA Section 602); equitable Basic Allowance

for Housing for junior enlisted members (NDAA Section 607); special pays for Reserve medical and dental officers (NDAA Section

625); and equitable Dislocation Allowance for junior enlisted members (NDAA Section 644).

In addition, the request includes $210,000,000 to fund the Department’s decision to improve the survey methodology used to determine housing allowances. This improved methodology resulted

in increases to Basic Allowance for Housing rates, and should ensure the quality and safety of off-base housing for military members and their families.

Finally, the request includes $189,000,000 to fund the following:

increased subsistence costs for the Army; increased inactive duty

training costs for the Army Reserve; increased basic pay rates as

a result of pay table reform for the Navy; enhanced enlistment and

reenlistment bonuses for the Air Force; and increased costs of Permanent Change of Station moves conducted under the Full Service

Moving pilot project for all services.

The Committee recommends supplemental appropriations in the military personnel accounts totaling $515,000,000, an amount

equal to the Department’s request. Details of the Department’s request, and the Committee recommendation, are included in the following table:

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

OVERVIEW

The administration request seeks additional fiscal year 2001

funding of $2,841,700,000 for operation and maintenance activities.

In some instances funds are sought to meet the unexpected cost of

natural gas and utilities at Department of Defense bases and installations, the deferred maintenance of real property, ships and

aircraft. Funds are also sought to meet the costs of higher than anticipated consumption of spare parts. In other cases the armed

services failed to accurately price the cost of operating aircraft,

overhead at maintenance depots, or diverted funds appropriated for

base operations to other purposes.

In addition to requesting supplemental funding for routine operation and maintenance activities, the Department of Defense seeks

$36,000,000 to reimburse the armed services for the costs of a Presidential directive to draw down equipment and supplies, and conduct training in support of the United Nations Mission in Sierra

Leone. The Committee recommendation does not provide funding

for these purposes.

Spare parts funding.—The Committee remains concerned with

the Department’s inability to articulate: the inventory requirements for spare parts; the funding levels needed to support the

training and deployment requirements of the armed services; and

any meaningful history of the execution of funds appropriated for

spare parts. The Committee recommendation provides funding for

the Navy and Air Force flying hour program, and spare parts for

the Army. The Secretary of Defense shall provide the Committee

with a complete accounting of any supplemental funds appropriated for spare parts. This report shall be provided to the Committee no later than October 31, 2001 and shall detail the funds

expended for spare parts, allocation of funds by major command

and weapons system, cost and provider for end items or spares, and

any change to Global Status of Resources and Training System ratings based on this funding.

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 784,500,000

The Committee recommends appropriations of $784,500,000 for

operation and maintenance, Army. Supplemental funding of

$172,800,000 is recommended to fund the increased cost of base

level utilities, $300,000 for the Department of Defense’s energy de- mand reduction program in California, and $214,000,000 to reduce

the current backlog of repair for real property maintenance.

Although the Committee provided adequate resources to fund the

cost of base operations support for fiscal year 2001, the service diverted these funds to other programs. The Committee recommends

restoring $300,000,000 for base operations support to enable the

Army to maintain current base level activities through the fiscal

year. The Committee recommends an additional $2,400,000 for the

costs of Army activities in East Timor, and $30,000,000 for spare

parts.

The Committee directs that supplemental real property maintenance funds recommended in the bill shall provide the following

The Committee recommends $297,000,000 for the shipbuilding

and conversion, Navy appropriation for increased costs on ships

currently under construction. This amount is $75,000,000 above the

request. This addition will cover anticipated costs of on-going construction on the LPD–17 through the end of the year. Without

these funds the shipbuilder would be required to initiate lay-offs

beginning on August 1 of this year. The funds for this purpose are

reallocated from existing LPD–17 class ship funding in the fiscal

year 2001 bill. This offset is addressed in section 1204.

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 78,000,000

The Department has requested a supplemental appropriation of $84,000,000 for Aircraft Procurement, Air Force. The Committee

recommends a supplemental appropriation of $78,000,000, a decrease of $6,000,000 to the request.

C–17 Aircraft.—The Department has requested and the Committee recommends approval of a supplemental appropriation of

$49,000,000 to finance increased C–17 overhead costs.

B–52 Aircraft.—The Department has proposed to cancel

$25,100,000 appropriated in fiscal year 2001 to make upgrades to

18 attrition reserve B–52 aircraft. The Committee denies this request and directs the Department to immediately begin the upgrades to the aircraft.

Classified Programs.—The Committee recommends $29,000,000

for RC–135 re-engining, as requested in the General Defense Intelligence Program, to fund the engine kit and associated engineering

costs for the final COBRA BALL aircraft requiring this upgrade.

The Committee recognizes that this will serve to match up the reengining with the scheduled depot maintenance period for this aircraft. This is $6,000,000 less than the Department’s request and

this adjustment is addressed in the Classified Annex of this Report.

The Administration has requested a supplemental appropriation

of $15,500,000 for GPS NUDET in the National Reconnaissance

Program. The Committee recommendation includes $15,500,000 for

GPS NUDET in Missile Procurement, Air Force. The GPS NUDET

sensor program has been marked by fragmented advocacy and lack

of a unified vision, which has plagued the development of v-sensor

technology for over 3 years. The Committee directs the Secretary

of Defense to transfer funding for GPS NUDET in fiscal year 2001

and the outyears to the Air Force. The Committee expects the Air

Force, as the executive agent for space, to protect the interests of

the diverse stakeholders who rely on enabling space technology to

achieve mission success.

2001 supplemental estimate ................................................................. 73,000,000

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 31,200,000

The Committee recommends a total increase of $31,200,000 in

new budget authority for the procurement of training munitions, a

reduction of $41,800,000 from the Department’s supplemental appropriations request. The Committee is concerned about the Air

Force’s ammunition budgeting methodologies, as supplemental and

reprogramming requests are, for some munitions, tenfold that of

the annual request found in the President’s Budget. The Committee strongly encourages the Air Force to more accurately plan

and budget for ammunition needs.

2001 supplemental estimate ................................................................. 108,000,000

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 123,000,000

The Department has requested a supplemental appropriation of

$108,000,000 for ‘‘Research, Development, Test and Evaluation,

Navy’’. The Committee recommends a supplemental appropriation

of $123,000,000. This is an increase of $15,000,000 to the request.

Joint Experimentation.—The Department requested a supplemental appropriation of $15,000,000 for Joint Experimentation in

Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Defense-Wide. The

Committee recommends approval of the request and transfers the

funding to Navy.

V–22.—The Department requested and the Committee recommends a supplemental appropriation of $80,000,000 for the V–

22 RDT&E program only for correction of deficiencies, flight test

and flight test support. To achieve the minimum aircraft production levels judged by the Department to be necessary, the Committee recommends adjusting the proposed reduction to the Marine

Corps V–22 procurement program, allowing for purchase of 11 air- craft. A reduction of $150,000,000 to this program is approved instead of the $235,000,000 reduction proposed by the Department.

For the CV–22 program, the Committee believes that deferring all

fiscal year 2001 available procurement funding until the Department makes significant progress to correct deficiencies in the aircraft is prudent. As such, a total cut of $363,000,000 to the enacted

fiscal year 2001 CV–22 procurement level is recommended, compared to a reduction of $240,000,000 proposed by DOD. A general

provision, Sec. 1204, is included which incorporates these adjustments.

Classified Programs.—The Committee recommends as requested

$28,000,000 for classified programs in this account. These programs are addressed in the Classified Annex of this Report.

and the Committee recommends approval of a supplemental appropriation of $48,000,000 for a Heavy Lift Demonstration Launch for

the Evolved Expandable Launch vehicle (EELV) program.

Global Hawk.—The Committee recommends approval of the Department’s request for a supplemental appropriation of $25,000,000
14

to fund some of the components needed to accelerate Global Hawk’s

development into a U–2 parity platform. These improvements will

include power upgrades to provide sufficient payload power to support multiple intelligence missions and engine upgrades to increase

engine performance and payload capability.

Small Diameter Bomb.—The Department has requested a supplemental appropriation of $20,000,000 for a new program to develop a Small Diameter Bomb (SDB). The Committee does not recommend approval of this request. The Committee notes that

$12,000,000 appropriated for this purpose in fiscal year 2001 is on

withhold in the Office of the Secretary of Defense. The Committee

is concerned that program outlined by the Air Force is

unexecutable and notes that a contract award before the end of the

fiscal year is unlikely. The Committee remains supportive of this

initiative and encourages the Department to begin the program

with the previously appropriated funds. The Committee will consider additional funding for the program during consideration of

the fiscal year 2002 budget.

OTHER DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE PROGRAMS

DEFENSE HEALTH PROGRAM

2001 appropriation to date .................................................................... $12,117,779,000

2001 supplemental estimate ................................................................. 1,453,400,000

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 1,522,200,000

The Department requests fiscal year 2001 supplemental appropriations of $1,453,400,000 for the Defense Health Program. The

Committee recommends a supplemental appropriation of

$1,522,200,000, which is $68,800,000 more than the supplemental

request.

OVERVIEW

The Committee continues to be very concerned with the adequacy

of funding provided to the Defense Health Program (DHP). It is the

Committee’s view that chronic under funding of the DHP has adversely impacted the Military Health System’s ability to provide a

complete, modern, and robust health benefit for military members,

their families, and military retirees.

The Committee’s recommendation represents a significant increase of almost 13 percent to the DHP appropriation for fiscal

year 2001, which continues a distressing trend. Last year, the Congress appropriated $1,311,500,000 in emergency supplemental

funding to cover DHP shortfalls.

The Committee has identified numerous maladies in the DHP,

which were explored in depth during the Committee’s hearing on

DOD medical programs earlier this year.

DHP budgets routinely have artificially low assumptions for

medical inflation, or have assumed unrealistic cost saving wedges

which then never materialize. These suppressed budget requests

inevitably result in large execution year shortfalls, which are then

partially covered by disrupting planned investments, required

maintenance, and adequate staffing.

The system labors under managed care support contracts that

are poorly structured, unnecessarily complex, and inaccurately

priced. These contracts have put the Department’s managed care

support contractors at financial risk, and settlement of unanticipated claims due under the contracts has been tremendously costly.

Faced with requirements that outstrip resources, the Department

has adopted the habit of always making the direct care system (or

military Medical Treatment Facilities) absorb the shortfalls. This

migration of funds away from military hospitals and clinics cripples

the very portion of the system that, with the proper level of resources and sound investment, could be the most cost-effective.

The Committee expects to receive a fiscal year 2002 DHP budget

request that addresses these issues, adequately states the requirements of the Military Health System, and then fully funds those

requirements. A fully funded DHP budget would make large, execution year supplemental appropriations unnecessary.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

The Committee recommends funding the Department’s request,

and an additional $68,800,000 for the direct care system and mili-
16

tary Medical Treatment Facilities. This increase is to accommodate

additional immediate shortfalls identified to the Committee by the

service Surgeons General.

Also, and consistent with the Department’s request, the Com- mittee recommends an appropriation of $100,000,000 to fund increased pharmacy costs experienced in military Medical Treatment

Facilities as a result of the recently authorized pharmacy benefit

for Medicare eligible military retirees.

The Committee recommendation for the Defense Health Program

is shown in the following table:

OUTCOMES MANAGEMENT DEMONSTRATION

In the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2001 (Public

Law 106–259), the Congress provided $10,000,000 for an outcomes

management demonstration at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center (WRAMC).

This project will demonstrate new techniques for delivering medical care that emphasize prevention and other health promotion

methods for treating conditions such as diabetes, heart disease,

chronic viral hepatitis, stroke, and breast cancer. By focusing on

total patient care, rather than the traditional treatment of illness,

this demonstration is intended to save lives, save resources, and

improve health care for our military members, their families, and

military retirees.

From within the supplemental appropriation provided for the Defense Health Program, the Committee directs that $16,000,000 be

made available to continue the outcomes management demonstration at WRAMC.

The Committee recommends an additional appropriation of

$140,000,000, the amount of the Administration’s request, for

Weapons Activities of the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) within the Department of Energy.

While the Committee has chosen to provide these additional appropriations, it remains gravely concerned about the Department’s

ability to produce and certify a pit.

Further, the Committee is surprised that the Administration has

chosen not to request any supplemental funding for Weapon’s Complex infrastructure improvements. In written and oral testimony to

the Committee this year, the Department repeatedly highlighed the

safety, morale, and productivity problems that crumbling infrastructure is causing the NNSA. However, the Administration’s request for supplemental appropriations is silent on this matter. The

Committee hopes and expects that the Administration will work

with Congress to remedy this discrepancy as the fiscal year 2002

funding bill is developed.

to construction. The new projects are 01–D–107, the Atlas Relocation and Operations at the Nevada Test Site; and 01–D–108, the

Microsystems and Engineering Science Applications (MESA) Complex Facility at Sandia National Laboratories in New Mexico. Consistent with this direction, available funding in project 01–D–103,

Preliminary Project Design and Engineering, is reduced by

$13,289,000; project 01–D–107, Atlas Relocation and Operations is

increased by $7,689,000, of which an additional $3,900,000 is provided for Atlas construction in order to complete the relocation by

Act, 2001 (Public Law 106–387) regarding plant quarantine facilities.

SEC. 2102. The Committee recommends language that makes a

technical correction to the Agriculture, Rural Development, Food

and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations

Act, 2001 (Public Law 106–387) regarding the delivery of rural development programs.

The Committee does not include a provision, as requested by the

Administration, to provide $20,000,000 to producers in the Klamath Basin. While the Committee is concerned that producers in the

Klamath Basin are experiencing losses due to adverse weather conditions, it is necessary to provide equitable treatment to all farmers

and ranchers suffering similar losses. The Committee requests the

Department to prepare an analysis of actual and projected crop and

livestock losses in 2001 and provide a report to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations at the earliest time practicable.

SEC. 2201. The Committee includes bill language to make a technical correction to Public Law 106–256 to add two positions to the

Oceans Commission.

SEC. 2202. The Committee includes bill language to make a technical correction to Public Law 106–554.

SEC. 2203. The Committee includes bill language making minor

changes to the American Fisheries Act (AFA) to preserve the commercial fishing industry’s access to capital financing after October

1, 2001. The AFA created new ownership requirements for United

States fishing vessels, including a requirement that financial institutions making loans to fishing vessels must be 51 percent U.S.

owned and controlled or use a mortgage trustee which meets the

same standard. However, the AFA and its implementing regulations make it too difficult for lenders to prove their citizenship.

Large lenders (as lenders and as mortgage trustees) cannot show

that their shareholders have U.S. addresses—shares are traded

thousands of times a day, and it is far too costly to trace shareholder addresses through mutual funds. These restrictions also

make it impossible for lenders to ‘‘syndicate,’’ or re-sell, fishing industry loans, thereby raising the cost of financing.

Subsection (a) moves the provisions defining a mortgage trustee

from chapter 121 of title 46, which provides for vessel documentation, to chapter 313, which provides for vessel mortgages.
24

Subsection (b) expands the class of lenders eligible to hold preferred mortgages on fishing vessels to accurately reflect the current

scope of lenders.

Subsection (c) provides that mortgage trustees must meet the

same citizenship requirements as lenders, and allows the Secretary

to require additional proof that there is no impermissible non-citizen control of fishing vessels.

Subsection (d) delays the effective date of the changes made in

this section to allow for new regulations.

CHAPTER 3

SUBCOMMITTEE ON THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA

The Committee considered the request from the Government of

the District of Columbia to authorize the use of certified additional

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 50,000,000

The Committee recommends an additional appropriation of

$50,000,000, the amount of the Administration’s request, for the

Flood Control and Coastal Emergencies program. The Committee

shares the Administration’s concern both that the Fund’s balance

is inadequate to meet the unanticipated and emergency needs that

may occur during the remainder of fiscal year 2001, and that the

practice of reprogramming into the Fund is not the most appropriate means to replenish the fund itself. Though the Committee

has provided these supplemental funds, it strongly encourages the

Corps to work with the Administration to address the future funding needs of this necessary activity.

Committee recommendation:

Supplemental .................................................................................. 100,000,000

Rescission ........................................................................................ ¥10,000,000

The Committee recommends an additional $100,000,000, representing an initial United States contribution to a global trust

fund to combat HIV/AIDS, malaria, and tuberculosis. The Committee is concerned that HIV/AIDS has already claimed over

22,000,000 lives, that there are over 5,000,000 new HIV infections

annually, and that a multilateral fund is widely recognized as urgently needed to leverage substantially greater public and private

resources to mount an effective response to this growing international crisis. The Committee intends that in the event that a

global trust fund is not established or is unable to utilize these

funds effectively within a reasonable period of time, these funds

shall be used to support bilateral HIV/AIDS, malaria, and tuber-
29

culosis programs administered by the Agency for International Development. The Committee also recommends a rescission of

$10,000,000 from unobligated balances of the fiscal year 2001 appropriation for the Child Survival and Disease Programs Fund.

These funds were appropriated in fiscal year 2001 for a United

States contribution to an international HIV/AIDS fund.

Committee recommendation ................................................................. ...........................

The Committee recommendation does not include the cancellation of $20,000,000 in fiscal year 2000 Economic Support Funds

(ESF) proposed by the President. The Committee notes that there

are many foreign assistance programs in Latin America, Asia and

elsewhere which would be enhanced by the use of these funds. The

Committee further notes that the ESF account is already

$55,549,000 below the fiscal year 2000 enacted level.

GENERAL PROVISION—THIS CHAPTER

SEC. 2501. The Committee has repealed the last proviso of section 526 of the Fiscal Year 2000 Foreign Operations, Export Financing, and Related Programs Appropriations Act, as amended,

which earmarked $1,000,000 in Economic Support Fund assistance

for the Jamestown Foundation. These funds shall be provided

through the National Endowment for Democracy for rule of law

and democracy activities consistent with the authority of section

526 of Public Law 106–429.

OPERATION OF THE NATIONAL PARK SYSTEM

(INCLUDING RESCISSIONS)

Language is included in the bill to permit completion of a wilderness study at Apostle Islands National Lakeshore, WI by the National Park Service. An amount of $200,000 was provided in fiscal

year 2001 to complete this study. Because the study will not be

completed until fiscal year 2003, the Committee recommends extending the availability of these funds.

Language is included in the bill to extend the availability of

funds provided in fiscal year 2001 for maintenance, protection and

preservation of land in the Minuteman Missile National Historic

Site, SD. The projects for which $5,000,000 was made available to

the National Park Service, through the Air Force operations and

maintenance account, cannot be completed this fiscal year.

BUREAU OF INDIAN AFFAIRS

OPERATION OF INDIAN PROGRAMS

(INCLUDING TRANSFERS OF FUNDS)

2001 appropriation to date .................................................................... $1,738,579,000

2001 supplemental estimate ................................................................. 50,000,000

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 50,000,000

The Committee recommends $50,000,000 for Operation of Indian

Programs, as requested by the Administration, to allow for the repayment by the Bureau of Indian Affairs of funds previously borrowed from the land acquisition accounts of the Bureau of Land

Management, the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, and the

National Park Service.

In May 2001, the Secretary of the Interior used transfer authority provided in Section 102 of the Fiscal Year 2001 Interior and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, Public Law 106–291, to provide a total of $41,000,000 to prevent the shutdown of the electric power

operations of the San Carlos Irrigation Project (SCIP) in Arizona.

The transfers are expected to cover the cost of power purchases for

May through the end of August. The additional funds above the

amount required for reimbursement are to ensure that there are

sufficient funds to cover the cost of summer power requirements.

The need for this funding is due to: (1) SCIP’s regional linkage to

the California power market and low western reservoirs, which

contribute to high electricity prices; (2) the lack of alternative

power providers in SCIP’s service area, which leaves certain residents, such as diabetics on dialysis, vulnerable to illness or death

should power be cut off; and (3) the inability of SCIP to obtain

funding to purchase power by debt financing or other means. The

loss of power would have a disastrous effect on the economy and

human population of south-central Arizona.

The Department of the Interior is drafting legislation to authorize the divestiture of SCIP assets and the Administration hopes to

proceed expeditiously. The Committee would encourage all parties

to work together to make divestiture a top priority during the remainder of this congressional session.

GENERAL PROVISIONS—THIS CHAPTER

SEC. 2601. Authorizes the Bureau of Land Management to provide an estimated $168,000 from unobligated balances in its land

acquisition account for Oregon projects to fund land exchanges at

Steens Mountain, OR. Amounts appropriated in the Fiscal Year
31

2001 Omnibus Consolidated Appropriations Act for land exchanges

at Steens Mountain did not fully fund the amount necessary to

complete the land exchanges authorized in the Steens Mountain

Cooperative Management and Protection Act.

SEC. 2602. Corrects a Public Law reference in section 338 of the

Interior and Related Agencies Appropriations Act for fiscal year

2001.

SEC. 2603. Modifies a provision in Public Law 106–558 in order

to authorize the payment of full overtime rates for fire fighters in

fiscal year 2001.

SEC. 2604. Permits the Forest Service to receive reimbursement

for expenditures for projects that otherwise qualify for the use of

Federal-aid Highways funds. Emergency relief for Federally owned

roads is routinely made available to the Forest Service in the form

of Federal-aid highways funds (Department of the Treasury account 12–69X8083). These monies provide critical funding for the

repair of forest roads made necessary by storms, floods, and other

natural occurrences. However, timely repair work is often needed

prior to Federal-aid Highways funds being made available to the

Forest Service by the Federal Highway Administration. This time

lag in the provision of Federal-aid Highways funds necessitates the

interim use of agency funds, which were budgeted specifically for

other projects, to complete such repairs. The ability to reimburse

accounts that were used to fund projects, which would otherwise

qualify for the use of Federal-Aid Highways funds, is necessary to

assure that both needed emergency repair work and regularly

planned, budgeted, and approved projects are completed.

SEC. 2605. Requires that $2,000,000 provided to the Forest Service in the Fiscal Year 2001 Appropriations Act be advanced as a

direct lump sum payment to Ketchikan Public Utilities (KPU) in

order to clear a right-of-way for the Swan Lake-Lake Tyee Intertie.

The Committee is concerned that continued delay in initiating construction of the Intertie is harmful to the economy of Southeast

Alaska and fails to promote the clean and efficient production of

electricity.

SEC. 2606. Makes Section 122 of Public Law 106–291 permanent.

SEC. 2607. Makes permanent Section 351 of Public Law 105–277

regarding the provision of health care services to Alaska Natives.

SUBCOMMITTEE ON LABOR, HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES, AND

EDUCATION AND RELATED AGENCIES

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

EMPLOYMENT AND TRAINING ADMINISTRATION

TRAINING AND EMPLOYMENT SERVICES

(INCLUDING RESCISSIONS)

2001 appropriation to date .................................................................... $5,670,805,000

2001 supplemental estimate ................................................................. ...........................

Committee recommendation:

Supplemental .................................................................................. 45,000,000

Rescission ........................................................................................ ¥262,500,000
32

The Committee recommends a supplemental and offsetting rescission in response to a reprogramming request submitted by the

Administration to move $45,000,000 from Youth Opportunity

Grants ($25,000,000) and Safe Schools/Healthy Students

($20,000,000) to Youth Activities, both as authorized by the Workforce Investment Act and funded in the Department of Labor’s

Training and Employment Services account. The Committee does

not believe that a reprogramming is the appropriate method of

moving funds between these programs, most amounts for which

were stipulated in bill language, nor is a transfer allowable in light

of the magnitude of the funds involved. The Committee does believe that it is appropriate to move the funds, however, and in

order to respond to the Administration’s request, provides a supplemental and corresponding rescission in order to accomplish the intended purpose. The remaining reprogramming action requested by

the Administration moving $20,000,000 from Incumbent Workers

to Responsible Reintegration for Young offenders is approved.

In addition, the Committee recommends rescission of

$217,500,000 in consideration of high levels of unexpended Dislocated Worker Employment Training Activities funds resulting

from the transition from the Job Training Partnership Act to the

Workforce Investment Act. Of the amount rescinded, $57,500,000 is

from the National Reserve and $160,000,000 is from the formula

program. In order to assure that rescinded formula amounts are

taken from States with the highest unexpended balances, the Committee has included bill language to ensure that States that do not

have excess unexpended balances are not impacted, to the extent

possible, by this rescission. The bill language permits the Secretary

to determine the amount of excess unexpended balances based on

final State reports as of June 30, 2001. It is the intent of this bill

language to restore, as much as possible, the reduction of this rescission to those States that are spending on an acceptable basis.

The Secretary shall give special consideration for funding requests

under National Emergency Grants from States on behalf of local

areas which have expended their formula grants and require additional funds to provide reemployment assistance to dislocated

workers. If startup problems are resolved and unexpended balances

reduced, the Committee will reconsider the program’s funding level

as part of its fiscal year 2002 deliberations. The Committee remains strongly supportive of the Workforce Investment Act Dislocated Worker program, and intends to carefully monitor the need

for enhanced job training services, recognizing that at a time of

economic slowdown, the workforce system will play an even more

vital role in retraining our workers to compete in the global economy.

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

HEALTH RESOURCES AND SERVICES ADMINISTRATION

HEALTH RESOURCES AND SERVICES

The Committee has transferred $1,500,000 from the health facilities construction and renovation account to the rural health out-
33

reach grant program. These funds are to be used to support the

Children’s Health Fund.

The Committee has included technical language clarifying that $900,000 previously appropriated for Northeastern University in

Boston, Massachusetts is to be used to train allied health care professionals to serve in low-income areas.

The funding previously appropriated for construction and renovation of Scripps Memorial East County Hospital in El Cajon, California shall be divided equally between Sharps Grossmont Hospital, located in San Diego County and El Centro Regional Medical

Center, located in Imperial County.

NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH

(TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

With the enactment of the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering Establishment Act of 2000, and subsequent

establishment of the new institute, bill language is necessary to

allow transfer of funds from the Office of the Director, National Institutes of Health to the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging

and Bioengineering to fund activities associated with the program

planning and start-up activities of the new institute.

SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES ADMINISTRATION

SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES

2001 supplemental estimate ................................................................. ...........................

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 6,500,000

The Committee recommends a supplemental of $6,500,000 for St. Elizabeths Hospital. These funds include $5,500,000 for the estimated cost of mothballing and stabilization to prevent further deterioration of the buildings on the St. Elizabeths West Campus during an extended period while excessing, reuse planning, and disposition take place. An additional $1,000,000 will pay for day to

day protection and maintenance costs.

2001 supplemental estimate ................................................................. 150,000,000

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

The Committee recommends an additional $300,000,000 for the

Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP). The Administration requested a supplemental of $150,000,000. When combined with the $1,400,000,000 already appropriated for fiscal year

2001, and $300,000,000 in emergency funding which had already

been utilized, a total of $2,000,000,000 is provided in appropriations for fiscal year 2001.

The additional funding is intended to serve as a reserve to provide home energy assistance to low-income households in the event

of natural disasters or other emergencies. Bill language extends

availability of the funds until expended.
34

CHILDREN AND FAMILIES SERVICES PROGRAMS

The Committee recommends that a technical correction be made

in the statement of the managers accompanying the Departments

of Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education and Related

Agencies Appropriations Act, 2001. Under the Administration for

Children and Families, the statement recommends that $550,000

be made available for an Early Childhood Development Center at

‘‘Texas Tech University’’. The entity receiving the funds should

have read ‘‘Texas A&M University at Corpus Christi’’.

DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION

EDUCATION REFORM

The Committee recommendation includes bill language which

makes a technical correction related to a project specified in the

statement of the managers on the conference report accompanying

the Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2001.

EDUCATION FOR THE DISADVANTAGED

TITLE I GRANTS TO LOCAL EDUCATIONAL AGENCIES

2001 appropriation to date .................................................................... $8,601,721,000

2001 supplemental estimate ................................................................. ...........................

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 161,000,000

The Committee recommendation includes an additional

$161,000,000 for the Title I grants to local educational agencies

program. The Administration did not request a supplemental appropriation for this program. This supplemental appropriation is

required to meet the additional program costs associated with updated poverty and expenditure data that became available in January 2001.

It is the intent of the Committee that, when taken together with

the technical correction to the basic grants amount included in bill

language under this heading, these additional resources will result

in a final fiscal year 2001 appropriation of $7,397,971,000 for basic

grants and $1,364,750,000 for concentration grants

($8,762,721,000.) The Committee further intends that these additional resources will be used to provide each State and local educational agency the greater of either the amount it would receive

at base levels specified in the conference report to accompany H.R

4577 under the 100-percent hold harmless or what it would receive

using the statutory formulas. The technical correction made to the

appropriation for this program and the additional resources made

available by this supplemental appropriations act shall take effect

as if included in Public Law 106–554 on the date of its enactment.

IMPACT AID

The Committee recommendation includes bill language which requires that $6,000,000 appropriated under this heading for construction activities be distributed by the formula authorized in section 8007 of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, as in

effect on September 30, 2000. The remaining appropriation of
35

$6,802,000 for construction activities should be used in accordance

with the language under this heading in the statement of the managers on the conference report accompanying the Departments of

Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education and Related

Agencies Appropriations Act, 2001.

SPECIAL EDUCATION

The Committee recommendation includes bill language which

makes a technical correction related to a project specified in the

statement of the managers on the conference report accompanying

the Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2001.

EDUCATION RESEARCH, STATISTICS, AND IMPROVEMENT

The Committee recommendation includes bill language which

makes technical corrections related to the amount of funding available for projects specified in the statement of the managers on the

conference report accompanying the Departments of Labor, Health

and Human Services, and Education, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2001. The Committee recommendation also includes

bill language which makes a technical correction related to a

project specified in the statement of the managers.

GENERAL PROVISION—THIS CHAPTER

SEC. 2701. The Committee has included bill language to clarify

the intent of the Congress with regard to funding provided pursuant to section 117 of the Carl D. Perkins Vocational and Technical

Education Act of 1998 (Perkins III). Funding available for this section is intended to be provided only to tribal colleges that do not

receive Federal support under the Tribally Controlled Community

College or University Assistance Act of 1978 or the Navajo Community College Act and whose primary purpose is to provide full-time

technical and vocational educational programs to American Indian

students. This language is necessary due to the Administration’s

new interpretation of this provision of the Perkins Act.

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 35,000

The Committee recommends the request of $35,000 for the Office

of Compliance. These funds are needed owing to an unforeseen controversy involving almost 400 covered employees, each of whom is

entitled to counseling and mediation services under section 403 of

the Congressional Accountability Act. The amount includes $45,000

for mediation services, offset by decreases of $8,000 in supplies and

$2,000 in rent, communications and utilities. Without the supplemental appropriation, the Office of Compliance could be forced to

stop all contracted health and safety inspections for the balance of

the fiscal year.

ARCHITECT OF THE CAPITOL

The Committee notes that the Architect of the Capitol (AOC) has

requested authority to increase the level of compensation for the

Architect and certain key AOC staff. The Committee believes that,

before approving such a request, a general management review of

the AOC operations would be helpful in evaluating and determining appropriate levels of compensation for AOC management.

This management review should include an overall assessment of

the agency’s organizational structure, strategic planning, skills,

staffing, systems, accountability reporting, and execution of its

statutory and assigned responsibilities. The Committee directs that

the General Accounting Office (GAO) lead this review, in consultation and coordination with the Architect of the Capitol, building

upon earlier management reviews, and consider best practices in

its evaluation and recommendations. The GAO report should include recommendations for enhancing the overall effectiveness and

efficiency of AOC operations along with recommendations as to how

to implement such improvements. GAO should report the results of

its review to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations,

the Committee on House Administration, and the Senate Committee on Rules and Administration no later than April, 2002.

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 92,000,000

The Committee recommendation includes an additional

$92,000,000 for Coast Guard operating expenses for fiscal year

2001, the same as the Administration’s request. These funds are

provided to compensate the Coast Guard for higher-than-expected

military pay and entitlement costs, energy costs, aviation maintenance expenditures, and costs associated with the deployment of a

Port Security Unit (PSU) to the Middle East. In order to cover
38

these costs, the Coast Guard has been required to divert funding

from aircraft and vessel maintenance activities as well as critical

unit level operations including fisheries enforcement patrols. The

funds provided will be used to restore these activities. The Committee understands that the deployment of the PSU, which will

conclude at the end of June, has resulted in a degradation of funding available for these critical unit level operations. The Committee

understands that no additional deployments will take place for this

mission within this fiscal year except through reimbursable agreement. Consistent with the Administration’s request, an additional

$6,000,000 is provided in Title I of this bill to compensate the

Coast Guard for TRICARE contract price adjustments.

COMPENSATION AND PENSIONS

2001 appropriation to date .................................................................... $22,766,276,000

2001 supplemental estimate ................................................................. 589,413,000

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 589,413,000

The Committee supports a $589,413,000 increase in the statutory

limit of $22,766,276,000 to assure payment to veterans and their

families of mandatory disability compensation and pension benefits

enacted in law after the 2001 Appropriations Act. Absent this adjustment, there may be insufficient funds to pay all of these mandatory benefits for the remainder of the current fiscal year.

Of the increased amount provided, $523,000,000 is provided for

the 3.5 percent benefit increase for veterans with service-connected

disabilities and survivors of certain disabled veterans required in

the Veterans Compensation Cost-of-Living Adjustment Act of 2000

(Public Law 106–413); $12,000,000 is provided to meet the additional benefit costs of program enhancements afforded under the

Veterans Benefits and Health Care Improvement Act of 2000 (Public Law 106–419); $17,000,000 is provided for the costs arising from

the addition of diabetes to the list of diseases covered in the Agent

Orange Act of 1991 (Public Law 102–4); and $38,000,000 is provided for rate adjustments authorized in the Omnibus Consolidated

Appropriations Act, 2000 (Public Law 106–554) due to the Consumer Price Index computation error of 1999.

READJUSTMENT BENEFITS

2001 appropriation to date .................................................................... $1,634,000,000

2001 supplemental estimate ................................................................. 347,000,000

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 347,000,000

The Committee supports a $347,000,000 increase in the statutory limit of $1,634,000,000 to assure payment of mandatory increases

in Montgomery GI Bill (MGIB) and related benefits enacted in law

after the 2001 Appropriations Act. Absent this adjustment, there

may be insufficient funds to pay all of these mandatory benefits for

the remainder of the current fiscal year.

The Floyd D. Spence National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 2001 (Public Law 106–419) expanded educational and related assistance programs for active-duty personnel, veterans, and

their families. Of the increased amount provided to assure payment

of: a 21 percent increase in the basic full-time education monthly

benefit rates under MGIB from $552 to $650, which became effective November 1, 2000; an increase in monthly rates for survivors

and dependents education assistance from $485 to $588, which became effective November 1, 2000; and a change allowing up to

$2,000 per person for licensing and certification testing under

MGIB, which became effective March 1, 2001.

VETERANS HEALTH ADMINISTRATION

MEDICAL AND PROSTHETIC RESEARCH

The Committee recognizes that the VA research program must

undertake a certain level of travel to properly optimize the function

of this worthwhile program and agrees to increase the current understated fiscal year 2001 travel limitation of $2,500,000 to

$3,500,000.

DEPARTMENTAL ADMINISTRATION

GENERAL OPERATING EXPENSES

(TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

2001 appropriation to date .................................................................... $1,047,690,000

2001 supplemental estimate ................................................................. (19,000,000)

Committee recommendation ................................................................. (19,000,000)

The Committee is supportive of VBA’s efforts to solve the mounting claims problem by hiring and training additional claims adjudicators immediately. Due to enactment of the Veterans Claims Assistance Act of 2000 (Public Law 106–475) and the addition of diabetes to the list of diseases associated with exposure to certain herbicide agents, as provided by the Agent Orange Act of 1991 (Public

Law 102–4), more than 450,000 claims would be added to the processing workload. Pending workloads and processing timeliness

would degrade to unacceptable levels without the ability to hire

and train personnel in 2001 to process this additional workload.

The Committee therefore agrees to transfer not more than

$19,000,000 from Medical Care to General Operating Expenses

(GOE) to provide funding for additional operating expenses for

claims processing in the VBA. These funds will assist in the hiring

and training of approximately 400 personnel. The Committee also

agrees to increase the travel limitation in fiscal year 2001 by

$3,500,000 more than originally requested to support training efforts. The new GOE travel limitation would be $17,500,000 for fiscal year 2001.

DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT

(INCLUDING RESCISSION)

The Committee includes bill language that makes a correction to

the Community Development Fund account in Public Law 106–377

to make all funds, except for the funds that support the costs associated with section 108 loan guarantees, available for obligation

through September 30, 2003.

The Committee also includes bill language to make a technical

correction to clarify the allowable use of $350,000 previously appropriated for Rio Arriba County, New Mexico.

2001 supplemental estimate ................................................................. (8,000,000)

Committee recommendation ................................................................. (8,000,000)

The Committee recommendation includes bill language to allow

the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to use

fiscal year 2001 funds for a corrective action in response to a probable fiscal year 2000 violation of the Anti-Deficiency Act which occurred during the prior HUD Administration. The proposed language would not provide any additional resources to correct the deficiency, but grant HUD flexibility to pay the obligation and accrued interest using funds appropriated to both FHA administrative accounts and to the HUD general salaries and expense account.

FHA—GENERAL AND SPECIAL RISK PROGRAM ACCOUNT

2001 appropriation to date .................................................................... $101,000,000

2001 supplemental estimate ................................................................. 40,000,000

Committee recommendation ................................................................. ...........................

The Committee includes bill language to remove limitations from

the $40,000,000 in credit subsidy previously appropriated in Public

Law 106–554, rather than providing an additional appropriation as

proposed by the Administration. The Committee’s recommendation

will allow FHA to resume guarantees of all multi-family loans

meeting underwriting criteria through the remainder of this fiscal

year.

The Committee also recommends that the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) apportion these funds to remain available for the remainder of the year and to allocate no

more than 10 percent of these funds for section 221(d)(3) projects.

The Committee notes that HUD has experienced unusual growth

in this program in the past year that is not consistent with the historical average for this program. The Committee is concerned that

unusual growth in the 221(d)(3) program may limit the availability

of funds for other multi-family programs. Therefore, the Committee

recommends a limitation to ensure that the administration of the

credit subsidy program is consistent with past patterns and practices.

The Committee includes bill language to make a technical correction to clarify the allowable use of $1,000,000 previously appropriated for Beloit, Wisconsin.

NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION

HUMAN SPACE FLIGHT

The Committee has included bill language to remove a restriction

placed on previously appropriated funds to cover the costs of conducting scientific research aboard Shuttle mission STS–107. The

fiscal year 2000 Department of Veterans Affairs, Housing and

Urban Development Appropriations Act (Public Law 106–74) provided $40,000,000 in the Human Space Flight account for Shuttle

mission R–2, dedicated to life and micro-gravity science. However,

NASA has been forced to delay the proposed R–2 mission due to

delays in overhauling the Shuttle Columbia and the need to conduct the Hubble Telescope servicing mission.

The language included by the Committee would broaden the use

of the R–2 funds allowing for life and micro-gravity research on

STS–107 with the remainder dedicated for Space Station research

in fiscal year 2001. The Committee expects NASA to consult with

the Congress on options for the research planned for the R–2 mission in the broader context of the future funding required to support Space Station research.
(44)

TITLE III—GENERAL PROVISIONS

SEC. 3001. The Committee also recommends language limiting

the availability of funds in the bill to the current fiscal year unless

otherwise expressly provided.

SEC. 3002. The Committee has included language providing an

additional $1,700,000 for the U.S.-China Security Review Commission. This will enable the Commission to be fully staffed through

calendar year 2002 and will provide for necessary administrative

support costs.
