implementation of the Integrated Justice Information System. This 

system will integrate 18 computer systems necessary to track offender information and adjudicate cases in a timely manner. The 

Committee is encouraged by the progress the Courts have made in 

this area. The Committee is also encouraged that the General Accounting Office’s evaluation of the Courts plan determined that, 

once implemented, the system would be effective in increasing the 

quality and efficiency of court operations. 

DEFENDER SERVICES IN THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA COURTS

The Committee recommends $32,000,000 for the Defender Services in the District of Columbia, $2,285,000 below the fiscal year

The Committee is aware that the Capital Children’s Museum is 

in need of a new facility and urges the Museum to conduct a feasibility study of a proposed southwest waterfront site for a relocated 

museum in Washington, D.C. 

FEDERAL PAYMENT FOR WATERFRONT IMPROVEMENTS

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

the District of Columbia Department of Housing and Community 

Development to continue improvements on the historic Potomac 

Southwest Waterfront. 

12

FEDERAL PAYMENT FOR ASBESTOS REMEDIATION

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

the General Services Administration to reimburse Fairfax County, 

Virginia for the remediation of asbestos on the former site of the 

Lorton Correctional Complex. 

FEDERAL PAYMENT FOR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS

The Committee recommends a Federal payment of $2,000,000 to 

the District of Columbia Fire and Emergency Medical Services Department to repair, renovate, and rehabilitate fire stations in need 

of capital improvements. 

FEDERAL PAYMENT FOR SPECIAL EDUCATION

The Committee recommends a Federal payment of $14,000,000 

for special education activities in the District of Columbia Public 

Schools (DCPS). Included in this amount is $5,000,000 for special 

education transportation services to facilitate the initial lease or 

purchase of a single centralized bus lot with fueling and repair capabilities. The District spends approximately $10,000 per student 

to provide bus transportation for special education students. This 

funding is provided to help reduce costs associated with the management of multiple lots throughout the region, the price paid for 

fuel and repairs, the added hours required of drivers, and the unnecessary miles logged on buses. 

Also included in this amount is $9,000,000 for special education 

satellite facilities to facilitate the creation of three quality and costeffective non-public satellite facilities for special education students. Currently, DCPS educates almost 2,000 special education 

students in non-public special education facilities, many of which 

are located a considerable distance from the District. Unless these 

students are brought back into the District, this will continue to 

place a significant cost burden on the public education system. This 

funding is provided to create campuses within the District using 

DCPS facilities to begin to address the long-term goal of returning 

all special education students to the District and to public schools. 

The Committee requests DCPS to submit a report no later than 

February 15, 2003 detailing what steps are being taken to further 

reduce the high costs associated with providing for the needs of 

special education students. 

FEDERAL PAYMENT TO THE CREDIT ENHANCEMENT REVOLVING

FUND

The Committee recommends a Federal payment of $16,000,000 

for the credit enhancement revolving fund. These funds are to facilitate the purchase, construction, and/or renovation of facilities 

for public charter schools in the District of Columbia. 

FEDERAL PAYMENT FOR THE FAMILY LITERACY PROGRAM

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

the Family Literacy Program to be administered through the Child 

and Family Services Agency. The city has approximately 130,000 

illiterate adults. These funds are provided to develop family literacy programs designed to address the needs of these adults toVerDate Sep 04 2002 23:56 Oct 02, 2002 Jkt 081992 PO 00000 Frm 00012 Fmt 6659 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\HR716.XXX HR716

gether with endowing their children with an appreciation for literacy and strengthen familial ties. Programs would be based in the 

nine transforming/reconstituted public schools throughout the city 

because almost two-thirds of the city’s illiterate adults live in 

neighborhoods immediately surrounding these nine targeted 

schools. The Committee requests that the District be prepared to 

testify at the fiscal year 2004 budget hearings on the progress of 

this program. 

FEDERAL PAYMENT TO THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA WATER AND

SEWER AUTHORITY

The Committee recommends a Federal payment of $50,000,000 to 

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

begin implementation of the Combined Sewer Overflow Long-Term 

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

These funds, which are to be matched 100 percent by WASA, would 

be used for design and construction of structural modifications to 

the District’s wastewater pumping and conveyance systems as well 

as design and construction of structural improvements to WASA facilities. This would result in a dramatic reduction in the volume 

and frequency of discharges to the Anacostia River and improve the 

aesthetic and water quality of the river. 

The Committee notes that the Combined Sewer Overflow LongTerm Plan will affect waterways that are bordered by Federal facilities, including properties owned by the National Park Service. 

The Committee expects that all documents submitted by WASA to 

local and to Federal agencies in compliance with permit and similar regulatory requirements will receive appropriate and prompt review to help avoid unnecesasry delay in implementing projects associated with the Plan 

FEDERAL PAYMENT TO THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA FOR CAPITAL

DEVELOPMENT

The Committee recommends a Federal payment of $24,298,000 to 

the District of Columbia for Capital Development. This amount includes $150,000 for the continuation of renovation and restoration 

work of the historic Eastern Market near the Capitol Hill neighborhood. These funds would contribute to the economic development of 

the Pennsylvania Avenue, SE corridor. Also included in this 

amount is $19,148,000 for the Unified Communications Center. 

This Center will consolidate the command and control functions for 

all District first responders, including police, fire, and emergency 

medical services as well as the 311 non-emergency services system 

and the Mayor’s 727–1000 citizen assistance service. The Center 

will also provide centralized regional coordination and communications during major emergencies involving the Federal Emergency 

Management Agency, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Capitol Police, the Secret Service, and the Park Police. The Committee 

requests the District to submit a progress report no later than February 15, 2003. This report should include the feasibility and cost 

to establish an integrated test facility prior to the Center becoming 

operational. The remaining $5,000,000 is for a forensic laboratory 

that will meet all applicable national standards of a full service 

14

crime laboratory, medical examiner/morgue facility, and public 

health laboratory. This laboratory will reduce the city’s reliance on 

Federal entities for testing and analysis work when investigating 

crimes, which not only diverts space and resources from Federal investigations, but also increases risk of contamination/degradation 

of evidence and causes delays in solving crimes. The Committee 

does not intend to fully fund this new state-of-the-art laboratory 

and expects that the District will contribute additional local funds 

so that this project will be on pace for completion by fiscal year 

2005. 

FEDERAL GRANTS

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

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

2003 budget was submitted the District estimated that it would receive a total of $2,019,330,000 in Federal grants during the coming 

fiscal year. 

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

BALANCED BUDGET RECOMMENDED

The Committee is recommending a balanced budget. The District’s fiscal year 2003 budget request, submitted to Congress on 

July 15, 2002, was based on May 6, 2002 revenue estimates and 

was a balanced budget. Due to a slowdown in the economy, the District, like many other State and local jurisdictions, is faced with 

unanticipated spending pressures. The Chief Financial Officer has 

certified new revenue estimates that are $322,700,000 lower than 

the May estimates. In the interest of getting the appropriations 

process started, the Committee has included a provision in the bill 

that provides for a balanced budget. The Committee is fully aware 

that the Mayor and the Council of the District of Columbia are 

working diligently to develop a plan to close this budget gap and 

will submit a revised budget allocation and financial plan to Congress on October 1, 2002. The Committee commends the Mayor and 

the Council for their quick and responsive action and will make the 

necessary adjustment to the appropriations bill as the bill moves 

through the legislative process. It is estimated that sufficient resources will be available from current revenue authority to finance 

operating expenses. A financial plan for each of the seven categories for operating expenses—(1) General Fund, (2) University of 

the District of Columbia, (3) Water and Sewer Authority, (4) Lottery and Charitable Games Fund, (5) Cable Television and Telecommunications, (6) Sports and Entertainment Commission, and 

(7) Washington Convention Center follows:
