DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE APPROPRIATIONS BILL, 2010 

JULY 24, 2009.—Committed to the Committee of the Whole House on the State of 

the Union and ordered to be printed 

Mr. MURTHA of Pennsylvania, from the Committee on 

Appropriations, submitted the following 

R E P O R T 

[To accompany H.R. 3326] 

The Committee on Appropriations submits the following report in 

explanation of the accompanying bill making appropriations for the 

Department of Defense, and for other purposes, for fiscal year ending September 30, 2010. 

BILL TOTALS

Appropriations for most military functions of the Department of 

Defense are provided for in the accompanying bill for the fiscal 

year 2010. This bill does not provide appropriations for military 

construction, military family housing, civil defense, and military 

nuclear warheads, for which requirements are considered in connection with other appropriations Acts. 

The President’s fiscal year 2010 budget request for activities 

funded in the Department of Defense Appropriations Act totals 

$640,431,852,000 in new budget obligational authority.

COMMITTEE BUDGET REVIEW PROCESS

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

Defense and the Select Intelligence Oversight Panel held a total of 

29 hearings and 8 formal Subcommittee and Panel briefings during 

the period of February 2009 to June 2009. Testimony received by 

the Subcommittee totaled 2,492 pages of transcript. Hearings were 

held in open session, except when the security classification of the 

material to be discussed presented no alternative but to conduct 

those hearings in executive or closed session. 

SELECT INTELLIGENCE OVERSIGHT PANEL

House Resolution 35 established the Select Intelligence Oversight 

Panel (Panel). The rule indicates that the Panel shall review and 

study on a continuing basis, budget requests for and execution of 

intelligence activities. In addition, the Panel heard numerous briefings and updates from various agencies and elements of the intelligence community and Department of Defense. 

The Panel prepared and transmitted a report to the Defense Subcommittee on Appropriations for fiscal year 2010 budgetary and 

oversight observations and recommendations for use in preparation 

of the classified annex accompanying the Defense Appropriations 

bill. The recommendations contained therein were used by the Defense Subcommittee in developing the classified annex accompanying this bill. 

INTRODUCTION

Recognizing the commitment of United States personnel and 

their families, the Committee is dedicated to providing and maintaining the highest standards of readiness and quality of life for 

service personnel and their families, and providing the right quantities of equipment supported by a robust program of research into 

future technologies to ensure that United States military forces remain second to none. Accordingly, the Committee recommends total 

funding in this bill of $636,292,979,000 including $508,045,994,000 

in base funding, and $128,246,985,000 for Overseas Deployments 

and Other Activities for the Department of Defense for fiscal year 

2010. 

The nation remains justifiably concerned about overseas deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan. In this regard, and for all the missions that the United States military perform, the Committee and 

the country are deeply grateful for the service, dedication, and sacrifices made by the nation’s military service members. 

As in past years, a critical element of the Committee’s emphasis 

is found in military pay, military family issues and military medical care. In the military personnel accounts, the Committee provides $364,000,000 above the request for a pay raise of 3.4 percent. 

For military families, the bill includes $472,400,000 for Family Advocacy programs and fully funds Family Support and the Yellow 

Ribbon program. In addition, the bill adds $20,000,000 above the 

request for National Guard Family Assistance and Reintegration 

Centers. Although the Committee harbors some concerns about cost 

growth in the Defense Health Program, the Committee firmly beVerDate Nov 24 2008 05:35 Jul 25, 2009 Jkt 051229 PO 00000 Frm 00013 Fmt 6602 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\HR230.XXX HR230

lieves that full funding of this program is critical to the support of 

service members and their families. Accordingly, the Committee 

recommends total funding of $29,891,109,000 for the Defense 

Health Program, an increase of $1,987,946,000 above the request. 

COMMITTEE INITIATIVES

A major imperative of the Committee’s funding recommendations 

is to improve the efficiency with which Department of Defense resources are expended. The Committee believes that one of the best 

ways to support United States forces is to improve the stability of 

acquisition programs and increase quantities to field new equipment more rapidly. In many cases, the procurement rates for new 

equipment are well below what could reasonably be described as 

economic order quantities. The practice of stretching out procurement schedules not only delays fielding modernized weapons but is 

costly as well. For example, in the case of the aerial refueling tanker, annual maintenance costs are expected to climb by 

$900,000,000, and Depot maintenance costs are expected to increase by $780,000,000. In contrast, the lower cost per flying hour 

for a new fleet of tankers will save taxpayers $3,500,000 per aircraft per year. The Committee also notes that the aerial refueling 

tankers are a crucial piece of our nation’s ability to deploy and operate anywhere in the world. 

In addition, the Committee is aware that the Department of Defense has consistently failed to provide funding to maintain sufficient production within the Navy’s shipbuilding program. As a result, the total fleet of United States vessels has shrunk well below 

the desired fleet size of 313. In this bill, the Committee’s recommendations provide funding for construction of 10 ships for the 

first time since 1992 in order to maintain a 300 ship fleet. 

The Committee also seeks to reverse a recent and increasing 

trend to curtail the development of systems before such efforts realize any benefit to the taxpayer. The Committee strongly supports 

realistic budgeting that matches available funding to overall programs. Indeed, many of the program terminations proposed in the 

fiscal year 2010 budget request are supported in this bill. Nevertheless, the Committee is concerned that the proposal to terminate 

some programs is premature, and believes that continuing certain 

efforts may yield significant payback. The Committee believes that 

this is clearly the case for the presidential helicopter, wherein five 

aircraft have been purchased that could be pressed into service. 

Similarly, in the Committee’s view, there is potential for significant 

payback associated with the Joint Strike Fighter alternative engine 

and certain missile defense activities provided in this recommendation. 

OVERSEAS CONTINGENCIES

The Committee notes that among the most significant challenges 

facing the Department of Defense are those in Iraq and Afghanistan and the transition now underway between those operations. In 

Iraq, the United States is beginning the process of redeployment. 

As of June 30, 2009, United States troops have withdrawn from 

major towns and cities. Between now and August 31, 2010, the 


wwoods2 on DSK1DXX6B1PROD with REPORTS
5 

U.S. military presence in Iraq will be reduced to a ‘‘transitional 

force’’ of roughly six Brigade Combat Teams, a force estimated to 

include between 35,000 and 50,000 troops. This level is a significant reduction compared to the 18 Brigade Combat Teams in Iraq 

as of February 2009. 

On 28 March 2009, the President announced a new United 

States strategy for Afghanistan aimed at ‘‘disrupting, destroying, 

dismantling and defeating’’ al Qaeda. A major part of this effort includes an increase of United States force levels in Afghanistan. 

Overall, United States force levels are expected to grow to approximately 67,000 by September 2009. In addition, a major piece of the 

United States approach is to help train the Afghanistan National 

Security Force, including the Afghan National Army, Afghan National Police, the Afghan National Civil Order Police, and the Afghan Border Police. The new strategy calls for accelerating the 

growth of the Afghan National Army from the current force of 

86,000 to 134,000 by December 2011, and for training and reforming over 29,000 members of the Afghan National Police in 2009. To 

support this effort, the Overseas Deployment section of the bill provides $7,462,769,000 for the Afghan Security Forces Fund. 

In general, the Committee has provided full support for overseas deployment activities by including $128,246,985,000 for Overseas 

Deployments and Other Activities (title IX of this bill). Within this 

figure, the Committee has provided for the military personnel, operation and maintenance, and acquisition costs required to conduct 

these operations. 

The Committee is also aware that the Department of Defense 

embarked on an initiative to grow the force in both the Army and 

Marine Corps, and the Committee has supported increased personnel funding. In part to support this growth, funding in the military personnel title of the bill has increased by nearly $20 billion 

over the past two years. 

The Committee is also aware of significant changes within the 

Services’ training and readiness programs. Indeed, the Secretary of 

Defense earlier this year indicated that the Department of Defense 

would undergo a significant change in its training programs because of the need to emphasize counterinsurgency training. Although these changes are early in their implementation, the Committee has supported a rebalanced training program as described 

elsewhere in this report. 

OVERSIGHT ISSUES

The Secretary of Defense has stated that the Department of Defense must set priorities and consider tradeoffs and opportunity 

costs to attain a higher level of military readiness. However, the 

budget request avoided some of these tough choices. The Committee recommends that the 2011 budget be supported with a program plan and that the Quadrennial Defense Review seek to clearly establish priorities. The Committee expects the Department of 

Defense to only budget for its highest priority needs. Finally, the 

Committee recommends that the Secretary of Defense institute a 

process for assessing and prioritizing requirements and allocating 

resources which is supportive of thorough, deliberative program 

and budget reviews. 


wwoods2 on DSK1DXX6B1PROD with REPORTS

The Committee is disappointed that the Department of the Army 

is the only Service which complied with the law requiring the Department of Defense to provide an annual inventory of contracted 

services. A general provision is included in the bill which reduces 

Operation and Maintenance funding by $550,000,000 and the Committee expects all of the components of the Department of Defense 

to comply with this direction. 

The Department of Defense is to be commended for the positive 

and decisive steps taken to in-source inherently governmental functions. The steps are consistent with the Committee’s direction to 

the Department over the past three years which will strengthen 

oversight, end unnecessary no-bid and cost-plus contracts, maximize the use of competitive procurement processes, and clarify 

rules prescribing when outsourcing is and is not appropriate. 

Common Access Cards allow personnel access to Department of 

Defense installations, resources, and sensitive information. The 

Committee is deeply concerned to learn of the potential dangers to 

force protection of troops and their families who live on Department of Defense bases due to a lack of control of these Common 

Access Cards and the Committee directs reporting requirements 

elsewhere in this report. 

In the Military Personnel section of this report the Committee directs the Government Accountability Office and the Department of 

the Army to review allegations of possible Antideficiency Act violations and to report to the Committee any actions that were taken 

to resolve associated financial management issues. 

In the area of intelligence, the Committee reduces the size of the 

Office of the Director of National Intelligence and shifts a portion 

of that funding to the Central Intelligence Agency. This transfer of 

funding is made to ensure that the Director of National Intelligence 

focuses on coordination and fiscal management while the intelligence agencies, like the Central Intelligence Agency and others, 

focus on operational activities. The Committee also supports the 

Cybersecurity efforts requested by the Administration, but reduces 

some of the increased growth to a manageable level. 

In the Overseas Deployments and Other Activities portions of the 

bill, the Committee transfers $14,636,901,000 of requested Operation and Maintenance funding into an Overseas Contingency Operations Transfer Fund (OCOTF), which recognizes the highly variable nature of both the costs to rebalance United States forces between Iraq and Afghanistan. The OCOTF will significantly enhance 

the Department of Defense’s flexibility to transfer funds to the 

needed appropriation account once costs are known. The bill includes language which adds protections so that these funds can 

only be used after the congressional defense committees have the 

opportunity to review and approve any uses of these funds. 

The Committee understands the value of the Commander’s 

Emergency Response Program (CERP), but has been concerned for 

several years about the growth and management of this program. 

The Committee has provided $1,300,000,000 for CERP, which is 

the full amount authorized by the House-passed fiscal year 2010 

National Defense Authorization bill and is $200,000,000 below the 

administration’s request. Of the funds provided for CERP, the 

Committee bill withholds $500,000,000 pending completion of a 


wwoods2 on DSK1DXX6B1PROD with REPORTS
7 

thorough review of CERP and submission of a report to the congressional defense committees. The required report is described in 

detail in title IX of this report. 

The bill includes many reductions to operations and maintenance, procurement, and research and development programs. The 

Committee made reductions to some programs because they were 

funded in the recently passed Supplemental Appropriations Act, 

2009. Some programs were reduced because assumptions, such as 

fuel prices, have changed since the budget request was finalized. 

The Committee also reduced funding to some programs because 

their schedules have been delayed or new programmatic decisions 

have been made by the Department of Defense. 

The Constitution states that ‘‘No money shall be drawn from the 

treasury, but in consequence of appropriations made by law,’’ and 

this bill carries out that most important Congressional duty. The 

Committee conducted months of oversight hearings, briefings and 

detailed inquires. These led directly to the recommendations contained in this bill and report. In some cases, the Committee has reduced funding, set limitations on the use of funding, required reports from the Executive Branch, and in some instances, the Committee has increased funding for programs which will improve 

America’s national security. 

TERMINATIONS, REDUCTIONS AND OTHER SAVINGS

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

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

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

over $50,000,000,000. In addition, approximately $15,000,000,000 

in other program terminations, reductions and other savings from 

the budget request are recommended. These adjustments, no matter their size, are important to setting the right priorities within 

the spending allocation, for getting the deficit under control, and 

creating a government that is as efficient as it is effective. 

ADMINISTRATIVE FEES

The Committee is concerned with the varying percentages, retained by the Department for administrative fees from contracts for 

the procurement of goods or services. While the Committee understands the need to retain these funds, it expects the process to be 

implemented in a standardized and universal fashion. Therefore, 

the Committee directs that for contracts in the amount greater 

than the simplified acquisition threshold, the Secretary of Defense 

may not retain more than five percent of the funds appropriated 

for administrative fees, except if the service acquisition executive 

concerned approves the retention of more than five percent. Such 

exemptions shall be reported to the Committees on Appropriations 

of the House of Representatives and the Senate no later than 30 

days after such withhold.

DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY ANTIDEFICIENCY ACT VIOLATIONS

The Committee remains concerned about a potential 

Antideficiency Act (ADA) violation in the fiscal year 2008 Military 

Personnel, Army (MPA) account. In particular, the Committee believes that reprogramming request fiscal year 09–05 for the MPA 

account which was submitted after the account had closed may represent a violation of the ADA. Accordingly, the Committee directs 

the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to determine whether 

the Army violated the ADA in its fiscal year 2008 MPA account. 

The GAO should determine whether: (1) the Army had sufficient 

funds in the account at all times to cover special pay and bonuses 

for which it had committed to pay; and (2) whether the Army’s 

process for estimating the cost of Permanent Change of Station 

(PCS) moves and the process for recording obligations for PCS 

moves in fiscal year 2008 satisfied the documentation requirements 

in the GAO’s Policy and Procedures Manual for Guidance of Federal Agencies, and provided a reasonable basis for estimating PCS 

payments. 

The Committee is also concerned that the Army does not follow 

Department of Defense regulations for conducting ADA investigations, particularly for initiating a Preliminary Review to serve as 

an initial screen to determine whether a formal investigation is 

warranted. The Committee is aware of several instances in which 

the Army conducted informal reviews, with the tacit concurrence of 

the Office of the Secretary of Defense General Counsel’s office, to 

determine whether a Preliminary Review was warranted. It appears to the Committee that the Army has substituted an informal 

process, one that generates no written documentation, for the formal process required by Department of Defense regulations of a 

Preliminary Review. Therefore, the Committee directs the Secretary of the Army to submit a report of the Army’s compliance 

with the Department’s ADA regulations, mainly with regard to 

substituting informal reviews for more rigorous requirements of a 

Preliminary Review. The Secretary’s report should review all allegations of possible ADA violations over the last five years, and the 

actions, if any, taken to resolve the allegation. The report shall be 

provided to the Committees on Appropriations of the House of Representatives and the Senate within 120 days of enactment of this 

Act.

post deployment health assessments. 

CLASSIFIED PROGRAMS

As described elsewhere in this report, the Committee’s budget reviews are published in a separate, detailed and comprehensive classified annex. Adjustments to the classified programs are addressed 

in the classified annex accompanying this report. 

FORCES TO BE SUPPORTED

DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY

The fiscal year 2010 budget request is designed to support the 

Army’s continuing transformation of its Operating Forces to a modular design. Completing modular transformation is indicative of a 

unit’s completion of initial reorganization and re-equipping to a 

modular design and is not an indicator of readiness (fully manned, 

trained, or equipped) or availability for deployment. Units are currently manned and equipped in accordance with the Army Force 

Generation Model which prioritizes personnel fill and equipment 

fielding in a resource constrained environment to ensure deploying 

units have all equipment required to accomplish their assigned 

missions. 

By the end of fiscal year 2010, the Active Component Modular 

Force will include five Army Service Component Command headquarters and one Army Component headquarters assigned to U.S. 

Africa Command, two Corps headquarters, nine Division headquarters, 42 Brigade Combat Teams and 36 Multi-Functional Support Brigades. Additionally, the Active Component will have begun 

modular transformation of one more Brigade Combat Team. Active 

Component structure yet to be transformed to a modular design includes one Corps headquarters, one Division headquarters, three 

Brigade Combat Teams and four multi-functional Support Brigades. By the end of fiscal year 2010, the Army Modular Force 

structure in the Army National Guard and the U.S. Army Reserve 


wwoods2 on DSK1DXX6B1PROD with REPORTS
15 

will include eight Army National Guard division headquarters, 7 

Brigade Combat Teams, and 56 multi-functional Support Brigades 

(44 Army National Guard and 12 Army Reserve). Additionally, the 

Army National Guard will have continued the conversion of 21 Brigade Combat Teams, completing transformation of the second set 

of seven Brigade Combat Teams in fiscal year 2010. Reserve Component forces yet to be transformed include only the final four 

Army National Guard multi-functional support brigades. These 

forces are the key elements of the minimum capabilities needed to 

execute the National Military Strategy and to meet enduring defense needs of the Global Force Demand. By fiscal year 2013, the 

Army Modular forces will include five Army Service Component 

Command headquarters, one Army Component headquarters assigned to U.S. Africa Command in the Active Component, three 

Corps headquarters, eighteen Division headquarters (ten Active 

Component and eight Army National Guard), 73 Brigade Combat 

Teams (45 Active Component and 28 Army National Guard) and 

100 multi-functional Support Brigades (40 Active Component, 48 

Army National Guard, and 12 U.S. Army Reserve). 

A summary of the major forces follows:

TITLE I 

MILITARY PERSONNEL 

The fiscal year 2010 budget request for programs funded in title 

I of the Committee bill, Military Personnel, is $125,264,942,000 in 

new budget authority. These appropriations finance basic, incentive 

and special pays for active duty, Reserve and National Guard personnel, and Academy cadets; retired pay accrual; housing, subsistence and other allowances; recruitment and retention initiatives, 

permanent change of station costs; and other military personnel 

costs such as survivor, unemployment, and education benefits. The 

table below summarizes the budget estimates and Committee’s recommendations.

MILITARY PERSONNEL OVERVIEW

The Committee recommendation provides $122,378,016,000 for 

Military Personnel accounts and continues to increase funding for 

military pay and allowances, recruitment and retention initiatives, 

and overall quality of life programs for active duty, Reserve and 

National Guard personnel. The budget request proposes to increase 

basic pay for all personnel by 2.9 percent. The Committee recommendation provides approximately $364,321,000 above the request, to increase basic pay for all military personnel by 3.4 percent, effective January 1, 2010. This recommendation also fully 

supports the resource requirements needed to maintain the requested end strength levels for fiscal year 2010. While the Committee is concerned about the continued significant growth of Military Personnel costs for all the Services, the Committee continues 

to be supportive of any programs intended to enhance the morale 

and quality of life for our military personnel and their families. 

SUMMARY OF END STRENGTH

The fiscal year 2010 budget request includes a decrease of 2,731 

in total end strength for the active forces and an increase of 844 

in end strength for the selected reserve above the fiscal year 2009 

authorized levels. The following tables summarize the Committee 

recommendations for end strength levels, both in the aggregate and 

for each active and Selected Reserve component. Explanations of 

changes from the budget request appear later in this section.

FULL-TIME SUPPORT STRENGTHS

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

Reserve components: civilian technicians, Active Guard and Reserve (AGR), non-technician civilians, and active component personnel. 

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

and administer the Reserve components. Civilian (Military) technicians directly support units, and help units maintain readiness and 

meet the wartime mission of the services. 

The following table summarizes Guard and Reserve full-time 

support end strengths:

CASH INCENTIVES

The Committee is concerned with the recruiting and retention 

cash incentives used by the Department of Defense. The Committee 

believes the Department has initiated programs that rely solely on 

cash incentives when enlisting new recruits and retaining current 

personnel. While these cash incentives have enhanced recruiting 

and retention efforts and helped the Military Services meet their 

end strength goals, the Committee is extremely concerned about 

the growth in both the number and size of these cash incentives. 

The Committee believes that the Military Services have increased 

both the size and scope of these cash incentives without the benefit 


wwoods2 on DSK1DXX6B1PROD with REPORTS
23 

of any performance metrics and without considering the effect of 

other increases in compensation. Accordingly, the Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a report to the congressional defense committees that describes these cash incentives. 

Specifically, the report should include the number of cash incentives used for recruiting and retention, the average amount provided for each Military Occupational Specialty (MOS), and the 

length of contract when these incentive options are accepted by recruits and those reenlisting. This report shall be submitted not 

later than February 1, 2010. If this report is not submitted to the 

congressional defense committees by February 1, 2010, the Secretary of Defense shall, not later than the 5th day of each month 

following the due date, provide updates as to the status of this report until it is submitted to Congress. 

BOOTS-ON-THE-GROUND AND COST OF WAR REPORTING

The Committee believes there is a continuing need for accurate 

and timely information on actual/estimated costs and deployment 

numbers associated with Operations Iraqi Freedom and Enduring 

Freedom (OIF/OEF). Therefore, not later than the 10th day of each 

month following the enactment of this Act, the Committee directs 

the Secretary of Defense to submit to the congressional defense 

committees: 

(1) a ‘‘Boots-on-the-Ground’’ report providing, for the most recent 

month for which data is available, the total number of troops deployed in support of OIF and OEF, delineated by service and component (active, Reserve, or National Guard); and a monthly estimate for the three-month period following the date such report is 

submitted, which provides an estimate of the total number of 

troops expected to be deployed in support of OIF and OEF, further 

delineated by service and component (active, Reserve, or National 

Guard). This report may be submitted in classified form; and 

(2) a monthly report of funds obligated in support of OIF and 

OEF covering the most recent period for which data are available, 

by month and fiscal year. This report shall be delineated and summarized by operation, by military service, component (active, Reserve, or National Guard), and by appropriations account. 

INTERNAL BUDGETING CONTROLS FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY

The Committee is dismayed that the Department of the Army 

continues to struggle with obligations and expenditures of incentive 

pays, bonuses, subsistence-in-kind and permanent change of station (PCS) moves. The Committee believes that the Army lacks effective management processes and financial controls to ensure an 

accurate level of funding is requested and available to meet its 

commitments. Furthermore, the Committee is concerned that there 

is poor communication between those responsible for personnel policy decisions and those responsible for ensuring sufficient funding 

is available to cover the ultimate cost of these decisions. The Committee believes that the Army’s senior management is not conducting sound financial management of the Army personnel accounts, which has resulted in inaccurate budget estimates. The 

Committee believes that if this situation continues, the Army will 

be unable to accurately forecast costs and will continue to face sigVerDate Nov 24 2008 05:35 Jul 25, 2009 Jkt 051229 PO 00000 Frm 00033 Fmt 6601 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\HR230.XXX HR230

24 

nificant shortfalls during the year of execution. Accordingly, the 

Committee recommends that the Department of the Army use the 

Department of the Navy’s approach to managing the military personnel budget. For example, the Navy places significant reliance on 

communication between the Navy Budget Office and program managers. The Navy’s budget and program management officials discuss funding and management issues each month and a scheduled 

mid-year review is reported to the Navy’s senior leadership which 

allows for refining estimates and phased planning, and a proactive 

financial control mechanism. Furthermore, the Committee understands that the Deputy Chief of Naval Operations for Total Force 

has staff from the Navy Budget Office embedded in its organization 

and a memorandum from the Assistant Secretary of the Navy for 

Financial Management, stating no personnel policy changes will be 

considered without concurrence from the Budget Office. 

ACCURACY OF OBLIGATIONS

The Committee recommends a reduction of $1,410,901,000 to the 

military personnel budget request, based on the Government Accountability Office analysis of prior year unexpended military personnel account balances. The Services’ accounting data continue to 

show a pattern of underexecution of appropriated funds, and therefore, the Committee believes the military personnel budget requests for fiscal year 2010 are overstated and can be reduced.

TITLE II 

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE 

The fiscal year 2010 budget request for programs funded in title 

II of the Committee bill, Operation and Maintenance, is 

$156,444,204,000 in new budget authority. These appropriations finance the costs of operating and maintaining the Armed Forces, including the Reserve Components and related support activities of 

the Department of Defense. Included is pay for civilians, services 

for maintenance of equipment, fuel, supplies, and spare parts for 

weapons and equipment. Financial requirements are influenced by 

many factors, including force levels such as the number of aircraft 

squadrons, Army and Marine Corps divisions, installations, military personnel strength and deployments, rates of operational activity, and the quantity, complexity and age of equipment such as 

aircraft, ships, missiles and tanks. 

The table below summarizes the budget estimates and the Committee’s recommendations.

INVENTORY OF CONTRACT SERVICES

The amounts appropriated for Active Forces Operation and Maintenance to the Departments of the Navy and the Air Force, and the 

Defense Components in title II of this Act have been reduced by 

$550,000,000 in a general provision from the amount requested. 

This reduction is directly attributed to the negligence of the Departments of the Navy and the Air Force, and the Defense Components to comply with the requirement of 10 U.S.C. 2330, Section 

807 of the 2008 National Defense Authorization Act, codified in 10 

U.S.C. 2330a that requires the Secretary of Defense to submit to 

Congress (and make available to the public) an annual inventory 

of activities performed pursuant to contracts for services for or on 

behalf of the Department of Defense; and the Secretary of the military department or agency head responsible for activities in the inventory to conduct certain review and planning on the basis of the 

inventories. The Department of the Army is the only defense component which has complied with the law. The Committee strongly 

recommends that the Departments of the Navy and the Air Force, 

and the Defense Components comply with the requirement of 10 

U.S.C. 2330a as quickly as possible. 

COMMON ACCESS CARDS

Common Access Cards (CAC) permit card holding personnel access to Department of Defense installations, resources, and sensitive information. During a February 2009 Defense Subcommittee 

hearing on outsourcing, the Department of Defense (DoD) Inspector 

General (IG) testified that: 

• The Department had outsourced the inherently governmental function of vetting personnel to receive the cards; 

• Contractors performing this function issued cards to other 

contractors; and 

• Nearly 212,000 contractors had email addresses that 

misclassified them as U.S. Government personnel, creating a 

potential security risk. 

The Committee directs the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of the Army to reconsider the practice of contracting out the 

task of issuing Common Access Cards and take immediate steps to 

improve access control to Department of Defense facilities around 

the world. Additionally, the Committee directs that within 90 days 

of enactment of this Act the Secretary of Defense submit a report 

to the congressional defense committees and to the Department of 

Defense Inspector General that outlines the actions taken and 

planned regarding insourcing efforts for the vetting and issuing of 

the Common Access Card and improvement of access control to facilities. 

ADVISORY AND ASSISTANCE SERVICES GROWTH

The Committee was pleased to note that the Administration recently announced a government-wide reform of contracting which is 

consistent with the Committee’s recent direction to the Department 

of Defense. The Administration plans to strengthen oversight, end 

unnecessary no-bid and cost-plus contracts, maximize the use of 

competitive procurement processes, and clarify rules that dictate 


wwoods2 on DSK1DXX6B1PROD with REPORTS
62 

when outsourcing is or is not appropriate. The Department’s budget request largely reflects these initiatives. However, the request 

was not clear regarding the adjustments in the budget for contract 

services and civilian personnel pay because it did not display object 

class information by appropriation account. This information was 

absent from the Department’s fiscal year 2010 budget. Following 

the submission of a special detailed data set, the Committee confirmed that the Department’s budget request did reflect insourcing. 

The Committee directs that the budget request and the Appendix 

to the Budget of the U.S. government for fiscal year 2011 and 

thereafter contain the object class detail by appropriation account 

to sufficiently describe the budget request. 

The Committee found that the Advisory and Assistance Services 

line of the Operation and Maintenance, Army, appropriation grows 

by $50,900,000 from fiscal year 2009 to fiscal year 2010. The Committee finds that this growth is inconsistent with the insourcing 

goals and adjusts the budget accordingly. 

ARMY EXPERIENCE CENTER AND VIRTUAL ARMY EXPERIENCE

The Army’s national advertising campaign generates about 8,000 

of the approximately 80,000 contracts required annually to maintain end strength. In fiscal year 2009 this came at a cost of 

$282,100,000. Recognizing that the payback for the investment 

made is relatively limited, the Army is seeking alternative means 

to boost recruiting results given limited resources. The Army Experience Center (AEC) and the Virtual Army Experience (VAE) are 

both elements of this effort, and have been part of the Army’s recruiting and advertising campaign over the past 10 months. 

In addition to the potential efficiencies of the AEC and VAE, a 

significant part of the Army’s rationale for initiating these centers 

is to overcome the difficulty in accessing and recruiting in urban 

population centers that historically present challenges to recruiters. The Committee recognizes the value of the AEC as both a recruiting station and as community center. However, the Committee 

has concerns about the both range and age-appropriateness of certain materials available at the AEC and VAE, and about the extent 

to which the Army appropriately handles information collected at 

these centers particularly with respect to individuals who are 

under recruiting age. 

Accordingly, the Committee directs the Army to evaluate and report to the congressional defense committees within 180 days of enactment of this Act on the expected gains to be realized from the 

AEC and VAE. This should include, but not be limited to, the expected contribution to accessions of the AEC and VAE and the cost 

benefit compared to traditional recruiting and advertising campaigns. This report shall also provide information on safeguards to 

ensure that both AEC and VAE programs and activities comply 

with applicable law and policies in the handling of information 

from individuals below recruiting age. 

COMBAT AIR FORCE RESTRUCTURE

The Committee is concerned with the lack of detail and analysis 

provided to the Congress regarding the Air Force’s Combat Air 

Force restructure plan that would retire 248 legacy F–15, F–16 and 


wwoods2 on DSK1DXX6B1PROD with REPORTS
63 

A–10 aircraft. Many of these same concerns regarding the proposed 

restructuring plan were expressed by the House-passed version of 

the fiscal year 2010 National Defense Authorization Act. The Committee directs that the reports stipulated in the House-passed 

version of the Fiscal Year 2010 Defense Authorization Act also be 

transmitted to the Defense Appropriations Committees. Particularly given these outstanding reports and the expected publication 

of the Quadrennial Defense Review in the coming year, the Committee is concerned that full implementation of the restructure may 

be premature. 

Additionally, the Committee is concerned with the personnel 

costs and potential acquisition costs associated with the Air Force 

proposal to remove the training of F–15 pilots and related personnel from Tyndall Air Force Base. The Committee directs the Department to provide a cost benefit analysis of this proposal regarding Tyndall Air Force Base and Kingsley Field in Klamath Falls, 

Oregon no later than 180 days after enactment of this Act. The report shall include an analysis of factors impacting F–15 training 

quantity and quality at each location, to include training synergies, 

airspace access and availability. The report shall identify and explain the justification for where F–15 Basic Crew Chief Training, 

Air Control Squadron Training and Intelligence Formal Training 

will be established and maintained. The report shall include analysis on simulator and ancillary training access, expected effect on 

the quality and experience of the instructor base, future military 

construction requirements and special considerations and costs required due to the differing training environments and climatology 

at each base. 

Moreover, the Committee requests that the Department identify 

airfields that share runways for both Air Force and commercial operations within the continental United States. The Committee requests that the Department include air force policy on and analysis 

of the training and operational mission impacts at bases with 

shared runways. 

Additionally, the Committee directs an independent review by a 

Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC) on 

the impact of the restructure on the Nation’s combat air forces. 

The Committee directs the Secretary of the Air Force to provide 

the described reports no sooner than 180 days after enactment of 

this Act. The Committee further directs that no funds may be obligated on executing the Combat Air Force restructure until 180 

days after submission to the congressional defense committees of 

all directed reports. 

HISTORICAL BUDGET EXECUTION

The Government Accountability Office’s analysis of historical 

budget execution trends shows consistent underobligation of funds 

in various subactivity groups in the operation and maintenance accounts. The accuracy of the analysis was confirmed with Department of Defense officials. Therefore, the Committee recommendation adjusts the budget request to be consistent with historical 

budget execution levels. 


wwoods2 on DSK1DXX6B1PROD with REPORTS

PEACETIME OPTEMPO

The Navy budget request includes an additional 23,000 F–18 flying hours in fiscal year 2010 beyond that planned in fiscal year 

2009. The Air Force budget request includes an additional 396,235 

active forces flying hours in fiscal year 2010 beyond that planned 

in fiscal year 2009. The Committee finds that given the expected 

continued wartime deployments, significant increases to peacetime 

operations are not realistically achievable. The Committee therefore has scaled back the growth to the OPTEMPO accounts. 

READINESS

The Secretary of Defense has stated publically that the United 

States should not seek to eliminate national security risks through 

larger defense budgets, but rather that the Department of Defense 

must set priorities and consider tradeoffs and opportunity costs. 

However, it is not clear that this guidance has been followed in the 

Services’ operation and maintenance requests, especially their requests for training resources. The Committee, therefore, recommends that the operation and maintenance budgets be rebalanced to support the highest priority readiness requirements that 

the Services currently face, rather than preparing for Cold War-era 

types of conflicts. Additionally, on December 1, 2008, the Deputy 

Secretary of Defense issued guidance elevating the importance of 

irregular warfare making it as strategically important as traditional warfare. The policy requires that the Department integrate 

irregular warfare concepts and capabilities into doctrine, organization, training, material, leadership, personnel and facilities. But 

this integration has not completely occurred. It appears that the 

Department has focused on scaling back traditional weapons systems such as the F–22 aircraft and DDG–1000 ship class, but has 

not addressed the air operations and underway training requirements changes associated with a focus on irregular warfare. In addition, the fiscal year 2010 budget request does not appear to be 

based on planning or programming. Two years ago, the Committee 

directed the Department to take sequential steps to plan adequately and then refine this plan into program and then budgetlevel detail. But the Department has yet to define or articulate a 

program for fiscal year 2011 or the future years. The Committee 

is concerned that the Quadrennial Defense Review may not result 

in a plan in time to shape the fiscal year 2011 budget request. 

Therefore, the Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to ensure that doctrine, organization, training, material, leadership, personnel and facilities are properly updated in accordance with the 

December 2008 guidance, and further directs that the fiscal year 

2011 budget request be supported with a future years’ program 

plan. Finally, the Committee recommends that the Secretary of Defense institute a process for assessing and prioritizing requirements and allocating resources which is supportive of thorough, deliberative program and budget review. 

MILITARY TIRES

of 2005, the Department of Defense implemented the Tire ComVerDate Nov 24 2008 05:35 Jul 25, 2009 Jkt 051229 PO 00000 Frm 00074 Fmt 6601 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\HR230.XXX HR230

modity Management Privatization Initiative. This program, along 

with a previous Navy aircraft tire procurement contract, moved the 

supply, storage and distribution for all tires used by the Department from the Defense Logistics Agency to a single prime contractor. This contractor is in charge of procuring and distributing 

all military ground vehicle and aircraft tires throughout the world 

for the entire Department. 

The Committee is pleased that the Department has dramatically 

reduced the cost and streamlined the process of delivering tires to 

the warfighter. However, the Committee believes that the Department must administer these contracts in a manner that maintains 

the U.S. industrial base for military tire manufacturing and future 

innovation as well as preserves competitive procurement for current and future tire requirements. The Committee also believes 

that having a single prime contractor who is also a tire manufacturer managing the program could result in a conflict of interest 

and place this contractor in an advantageous position with respect 

to competing for tire contracts. 

The Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to award new 

military ground vehicle and aircraft tire management contracts 

when the base period of the current contracts expire. The new contracts, to include Navy aircraft tire contracts, will prohibit any tire 

manufacturer from acting as prime contractor for the management 

of the contract. Additionally, it shall require that there be an ongoing and transparent competition among qualified tire providers on 

a level playing field to ensure that the government gets the benefit 

of true price competition. 

LIGHT ATTACK AIRCRAFT DEMONSTRATION

The Committee is aware that the Navy and Air Force are currently negotiating a Memorandum of Agreement to jointly conduct 

a demonstration program designed to provide information on the 

benefits of a light attack aircraft to the warfighter. The Committee 

understands that the Navy and Air Force anticipate reprogramming fiscal year 2010 funding for this purpose. The Committee contends that the Air Force program will constitute a new start and 

as such the Air Force and Navy are directed to use the prior approval reprogramming procedures for the new start notification and 

the source of funding. Additionally, the Committee is aware that 

the Navy and Air Force are planning to lease aircraft for use in the 

demonstration program. The Committee encourages the Department of Defense to conduct a full and open competition for the 

lease of the aircraft. 

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE REPROGRAMMINGS

The Committee continues to require the Department of Defense 

to submit the DD 1414, Base for Reprogramming Actions, for each 

of the fiscal year 2010 appropriation accounts within 60 days after 

the enactment of this Act. This provision prohibits the Department 

from executing any reprogramming or transfer of funds for any 

purpose other than originally appropriated until the aforementioned report is submitted to the Committees on Appropriations of 

the House of Representatives and the Senate. 


wwoods2 on DSK1DXX6B1PROD with REPORTS
66 

The Committee directs that proposed transfers of funds between O–1 budget activities in excess of $15,000,000 be subject to the normal prior approval reprogramming procedures. The Committee believes that such revisions are necessary given the unique nature of 

activities funded within the operation and maintenance appropriation; continuing concerns about force readiness, and recent budget 

execution within these accounts. Further, the Committee directs: 

(1) with respect to service operation and maintenance accounts, 

that the Department shall submit prior approval reprogramming 

requests to the congressional defense committees for proposed 

transfers of funds in excess of $15,000,000, to or from the levels 

specified for budget activities. In addition, the Department should 

follow prior approval reprogramming procedure for transfers in excess of $15,000,000 out of the following budget subactivities: 

Army: 

Maneuver units 

Modular support brigades 

Land forces operations support 

Force readiness operations support 

Land forces depot maintenance 

Base operations support 

Facilities Sustainment, Restoration and Modernization 

Navy: 

Aircraft depot maintenance 

Ship depot maintenance 

Facilities Sustainment, Restoration and Modernization 

Marine Corps: 

Depot maintenance 

Facilities Sustainment, Restoration and Modernization 

Air Force: 

Primary combat forces 

Combat enhancement forces 

Combat communications 

(2) with respect to the Operation and Maintenance, Defense-Wide 

account, that proposed transfers of funds to or from the levels specified for programs, projects or activities in excess of $10,000,000 or 

20 percent, whichever is less, shall be subject to prior approval reprogramming procedures. For purposes of this account, a program, 

project or activity shall mean any item for which a dollar amount 

is contained in an appropriations Act (including joint resolutions 

providing continuing appropriations), accompanying reports of the 

House of Representatives and Senate Committees on Appropriations, or accompanying conference reports and joint explanatory 

statements of the committee of conference or specifically identified 

in the supplemental material justifying the budget request to the 

Committees on Appropriations of the House of Representatives and 

the Senate. 

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE BUDGET EXECUTION DATA

The Committee directs the Department of Defense to continue to 

provide the congressional defense committees with quarterly budget execution data. Such data should be provided not later than 45 

days following the close of each quarter for the fiscal year, and 

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


wwoods2 on DSK1DXX6B1PROD with REPORTS
67 

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

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

the budget request and actual obligations; the Department of Defense distribution of unallocated congressional adjustments to the 

budget request; all adjustments made by the Department in establishing the Base for Reprogramming (DD form 1414) report, all adjustments resulting from below threshold reprogrammings; and all 

adjustments resulting from prior approval reprogramming requests. 

INFORMATION OPERATIONS

The budget request includes nearly one billion dollars for Department of Defense information operations (IO) programs. The Committee has serious concerns about not only the significant amount 

of funding being spent on these programs, but more importantly, 

about the Department’s assumption of this mission area within its 

roles and responsibilities. Much of the content of what is being produced, and certainly some of the largest cost drivers in these programs, is focused so far beyond a traditional military information 

operation that the term non-traditional military information operation does not justly apply. At face value, much of what is being 

produced appears to be United States Military, and more alarmingly non-military propaganda, public relations, and behavioral 

modification messaging. The Committee questions the effectiveness 

of much of the material being produced with this funding, the supposed efforts to minimize target audience knowledge of United 

States’ Government sponsorship of certain production materials, 

and the ability of the Department to evaluate the impact of these 

programs. 

The Committee also notes that the official budget justification 

materials for requested funding of this magnitude are woefully inadequate. In addition, the Department’s response to attempts by 

the Committee to obtain a meaningful explanation of funding for 

these programs clearly indicates that Departmental oversight of 

these efforts is disorganized, and that a thorough understanding of 

their scope within the Department’s leadership is incomplete. According to the Department’s limited response for information on 

this funding, IO programs have grown at an enormous rate, from 

approximately $9,000,000 in fiscal year 2005, to a staggering 

$988,000,000 request for fiscal year 2010. The requested growth in 

these programs from fiscal year 2009 to fiscal year 2010 alone is 

just over $200,000,000. 

The Committee believes that the Department of Defense, and the 

Combatant Commands which drive the demand for information operations, need to reevaluate IO requirements in the context of the 

roles and missions of the United States Military along with consideration for the inherent capabilities of the military and the funding 

available to meet these requirements. In support of this evaluation, 

the Committee has determined that many of the ongoing IO activities for which fiscal year 2010 funding is requested should be terminated immediately. The programs for which funding is specifically denied are identified in the classified annex to this report. Accordingly, the Committee has reduced requested funding for inforVerDate Nov 24 2008 05:35 Jul 25, 2009 Jkt 051229 PO 00000 Frm 00077 Fmt 6601 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\HR230.XXX HR230

mation operation programs in the various Service appropriations 

accounts in which they have been requested by a total of 

$500,000,000. Of the remaining funds provided for information operations, the Committee directs that no funds shall be obligated or 

expended until 30 days after the Secretary of Defense submits a report to the Committees on Appropriations of the House of Representatives and the Senate on the Department’s IO programs. 

This report should encompass the period from fiscal years 2005 

through 2010 and include all Department of Defense information 

operation programs for which base budget, supplemental, or overseas contingency operation funds have been appropriated or requested. The report shall include: program strategies, target audiences, goals, and measures of effectiveness; budget exhibits at the 

appropriations account and sub-activity level; spend plans (including positions and other direct costs); and production and dissemination mechanisms and locations. The report shall also include an 

annex for the inclusion of necessary explanatory and supporting 

classified information. The Secretary shall submit this report in 

writing not later than 180 days after enactment of this Act.

AFRICA PARTNERSHIP STATION

The Committee recommends an additional $20,500,000 in Operation and Maintenance, Navy in support of maritime security capacity building in U.S. Africa Command’s (AFRICOM) area of responsibility. Since November 2007, the U.S. Navy has led joint exercises, port visits, professional training and community outreach 

with the coastal nations of West Africa through the Africa Partnership Station (APS). The Committee commends the Navy’s effort to 

increase the ability of our African partners to extend the rule of 

law out to sea and better combat illegal fishing, human smuggling, 

drug trafficking, oil theft and piracy. To increase the Navy’s role 

in AFRICOM and ensure a more predictable, robust schedule of exercises under APS, the Committee has provided $10,500,000 for 

APS—West for fiscal year 2010. The Committee also strongly supports AFRICOM’s plan to carry out similar exercises on the east 

coast of Africa, and has provided an additional $10,000,000 for 

APS—East.

FEE-FOR-SERVICE REFUELING

The Committee provides no funding for the fee-for-service refueling pilot program due to concerns with the lack of a validated requirement for the program. The Air Force should instead focus on 

the KC–135 tanker replacement program which is a Joint Requirements Oversight Council validated requirement. The Committee 

recommends $439,615,000 in title VIII of this Act only for the recapitalization of the aging KC–135 fleet with a competitive procurement of a commercial derivative tanker aircraft. 

AIR FORCE ELECTRONIC WARFARE EVALUATION SIMULATOR

The Committee is aware of an Air Force effort to relocate the Air 

Force Electronic Warfare Evaluation Simulator (AFEWES) from 

Air Force Plant 4 to the Air Force Flight Test Center. Several government studies, including the 1995 Base Realignment and Closure 

Commission and a 1997 Government Accountability Office report, 

highlight the absence of a cost or capability rationale to justify this 

relocation. Therefore, the Committee directs that the Department 

shall not obligate or expend funds to relocate the AFEWES from 

Air Force Plant 4 until a comprehensive cost/benefit analysis, reviewed by the Government Accountability Office, is provided to the 

Congressional defense committees. Further, because the AFEWES 

specialized test capabilities are a vital element of our national defense posture, study findings should demonstrate the technical 

merits of any proposed relocation.

JOINT CHIEFS OF STAFF

The Committee provides $432,169,000 for the Joint Chiefs of 

Staff, $25,000,000 below the fiscal year 2010 request. The Department of Defense requested an additional $25,000,000 for the Combatant Commanders Initiative Fund (CCIF), which the Committee 

has not provided. The Committee understands that, to allow Combatant Commanders to respond to urgent and emerging humanitarian, economic, and security challenges in their areas of operation, the CCIF program must be as flexible as possible. Furthermore, the Committee is satisfied with the Joint Chiefs of Staff’s 

management and oversight of CCIF projects to date. However, the 

Committee is concerned that increasing the funding available for 

CCIF will eliminate the incentive for the Department to carefully 

scrutinize proposed projects and ensure that only those of the highest priority receive funding. 

AFGHANISTAN INFORMATION COMMUNICATIONS TECHNOLOGY

The Committee is concerned about the slow rate of progress in 

connecting the Afghanistan fiber-optic communications backbone to 

the global information-technology network. As highlighted in a 

2009 National Defense University study titled, ‘‘Information Communications Technology for Reconstruction and Development: Afghanistan Challenges and Opportunities,’’ multiple social, economic, and educational benefits will be realized once a reliable terrestrial network is installed in Afghanistan. Therefore, the Committee directs that $20,000,000 within the Defense Information 

Systems Agency (DISA) account shall not be available for obligation until DISA, in coordination with the CENTCOM J–6, submits 

a report that examines the telecommunications infrastructure of 

Afghanistan to determine the feasibility of moving both Afghanistan’s and parts of the Department of Defense’s bandwidth requirements from expensive, high-latency satellite links to lower cost, 

low-latency terrestrial links such as fiber-optic and microwave technologies. This report shall be submitted to the congressional defense committees within 90 days of the enactment of this Act. The 

report should include a detailed ‘‘as-is’’ architecture of the existing 

terrestrial telecommunications infrastructure of Afghanistan, and it 

should include an analysis of alternatives (AoA) for terrestrial telecommunications capabilities to meet the Department’s bandwidth 

requirements in Afghanistan, along with a ‘‘to be’’ architecture of 

how the Department will implement a Service-Oriented-Architecture software capability to provision, manage and track the utilization of bandwidth in support of Stability Operations in Afghanistan. The AoA will include, at a minimum, a review of issues and 

opportunities with: (1) leasing bandwidth from the Afghanistan 

Ministry of Communications using their existing fiber-optic backbone, (2) leasing bandwidth from the commercial cellular operators 

using their respective nation-wide microwave backbones, (3) leasing 

bandwidth from commercial satellite communications system providers, and (4) incentivizing the Government of Afghanistan to 

issue a new telecommunications license for a commercial fiber-optic 

backbone and international gateway for Afghanistan.

SECURITY AND STABILIZATION

The Committee has provided $25,000,000 for the security and stabilization assistance program, a reduction of $175,000,000 below 

the fiscal year 2010 request. Pursuant to section 1201 of the 

House-passed National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 

2010 (H.R. 2647), additional funds for this program are not authorized. 

OFFICE OF ECONOMIC ASSISTANCE

The Committee has provided an additional $13,626,000 for the 

Office of Economic Assistance (OEA) to restore a proposed reduction in funding for Community Economic Assistance Grants. The 

Committee understands the Department’s assumption that, with 

implementation of the 2005 Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) 

recommendations approaching completion, community requirements for OEA assistance will diminish. However, the Committee 

is concerned that recent non-BRAC-related decisions, including the 

reduction of planned Army Brigade Combat Teams (BCTs) from 48 

to 45, and the proposed retirement of 248 Air Force combat aircraft 

will impact communities across the country that will require the 

assistance of OEA in mitigating the effects of those decisions. Consequently, the Committee has restored funding for OEA Community Economic Assistance Grants to fiscal year 2009 levels. 

FORT STEWART

The Committee has strong concerns about the impact on local 

communities as a result of a decision by the Secretary of Defense 

to reverse the planned growth in the number of Army Brigade 

Combat Teams (BCT) from 45 to 48. Nowhere has this impact been 

more severe than at Fort Stewart, Georgia. Beginning in December 

2007, Army leaders met repeatedly with local government officials, 

private investors and builders and encouraged them to ‘‘build-out 

now,’’ so facilities would be ready by 2011 to fully accommodate the 

projected influx of 5,000 soldiers and their family members. The 

Committee appreciates the difficulties and risks undertaken by the 

Fort Stewart community in securing and investing more than 

$450,000,000 to welcome these additional troops and strongly commends this outstanding demonstration of local support for our military. Therefore, the Committee urges the Army and the Department of Defense to mitigate the impact of the change in basing 

plans on the Fort Stewart community. Further, the Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a report on all mitigation 

efforts underway and on the feasibility of other combat or support 

units relocating to Fort Stewart. This report should be submitted 

no later than 60 days after enactment of this Act. 

OFFICE OF THE UNDER SECRETARY OF DEFENSE (COMPTROLLER) AND

CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER

The Committee has provided $2,348,000 for the Office of the 

Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller) and Chief Financial Officer for the costs associated with the recruitment, hiring, training, 

retention and pay for additional federal employees to improve fiscal 

management and oversight. The Committee urges the Department 


wwoods2 on DSK1DXX6B1PROD with REPORTS

to exempt the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller) and Chief Financial Officer from internal Department headquarters personnel ceilings if necessary to ensure proper fiscal 

management and budget oversight.

FAMILY ASSISTANCE CENTERS/NATIONAL GUARD REINTEGRATION

The Committee has included $20,000,000 for Family Assistance 

and Reintegration activities for Reserve Component soldiers. The 

Committee recognizes that Family Assistance and Reintegration 

activities present unique challenges for the Reserve Components; 

however, based on the number of issues being raised, the Committee is concerned whether the proper initiatives and support programs are in place. The Committee directs the National Guard to 

submit an implementation plan for these funds and that North 

Carolina, Mississippi, Maine, New Hampshire, New Jersey, and 

Minnesota be given priority for implementation of these programs. 

PROCESS REFINEMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION INITIATIVE

The National Guard Bureau has identified Joint CONUS Communications Support Environment (JCCSE) Communications Enhancements as one of its top requirements, for which the Committee recommends $1,600,000. The National Guard Bureau has 

stated that funding for furthering JCCSE Communications enhancements is essential as it enhances the National Guard’s ability 

to support and respond under the homeland defense/civil support 

mission. The Committee supports the National Guard’s efforts to 

enhance this technology, including providing an interface for communications between federal and state agencies concerning incidents involving homeland defense and disaster mitigation.

GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABILITY OFFICE

The Government Accountability Office (GAO) has been directed 

by Congress to perform an annual assessment of the performance 

of the Department’s portfolio of major acquisition programs, as well 

as individual programs. The GAO relies on data from the Department’s Selected Acquisition Reports (SAR) for its cost and schedule 

analyses. In the absence of a complete set of annual SARs prior to 

the fiscal year 2011 budget submission, the Secretary of Defense is 

directed to provide GAO with SAR-like data (including cost, schedule, and funding data that reflects the program of record, including 

the estimated outyear funding requirements) for each major defense acquisition program. This information should be provided to 

the GAO in a timely manner to support the March 30, 2010 report 

to Congress. 

JOINT STRIKE FIGHTER NON-RECURRING EQUIPMENT

The Joint Strike Fighter program budgets for and procures 

equipment and tooling to outfit the manufacturing facility with sufficient capacity to produce aircraft in larger quantities as the production program ramps up. Since the program began production in 

fiscal year 2007, the Congress has appropriated over $900,000,000 

for this effort. However, in actuality, the program has executed just 

over $700,000,000, largely because the production ramp up has 

been lower than originally predicted. Therefore, the recommendation reduces the request for non-recurring equipment by 

$232,000,000 to fund this activity at a level consistent with historical execution. 

C–130 FIREFIGHTING CAPABILITY

The Committee directs the Secretary of the Air Force and the Director of the National Guard Bureau within 60 days of enactment 

of this Act, to create an Integrated Working Group (IWG) in conjunction with the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) for the purpose of coordinating the joint use of federal forest firefighting assets, and 

within 90 days after formation of the IWG, to submit a report to 

the congressional defense committees and the House Appropriations Interior Subcommittee detailing the following: 

1. The viability of the Air National Guard and the U.S. Forest 

Service jointly operating a fleet of new C–130s procured for the primary purposes of firefighting duties at the request of the U.S. Forest Service, and equipped with the latest proven firefighting technology. 

2. Any and all prior analysis done in the past ten years by the 

Department of the Air Force, the National Guard Bureau or the 

USFS concerning the recapitalization of the national firefighting 

fleet. 

3. A new business case analysis which examines the cost and 

operational effectiveness of procurement of new C–130 aircraft and 

joint co-operation between the Department of the Air Force, the 

National Guard Bureau and the USFS for the firefighting mission 

as compared to the present approach of utilizing the current fleet 

of aging firefighting aircraft available via commercial operator contracts. 


wwoods2 on DSK1DXX6B1PROD with REPORTS
120 

4. Any existing legislative impediments to interagency cooperation and joint operation of a dedicated firefighting fleet by the Department of the Air Force, the National Guard Bureau, and the 

USFS. 

5. An assessment and accounting of public/private property losses 

as well as taxpayer expenses spent annually fighting forest and 

wildfires and how such losses can be mitigated by the described 

joint firefighting business model with respect to the Department of 

the Air Force, the National Guard Bureau, and the USFS. 

An interim report shall be submitted to Congress no later than 

90 days after enactment of this Act detailing the progress made on 

the final report. 

SPECIAL OPERATIONS FORCES—PROCESSING, EXPLOITATION, AND

DISSEMINATION CAPABILITIES MODERNIZATION

The Committee is concerned about the urgent need for the modernization of Special Operations Forces’ (SOF) capabilities to process, exploit, and disseminate critical operational intelligence from 

deployed locations overseas and specifically within the theater of 

operations. The immediacy of this requirement was communicated 

to the Committee by SOF operators during multiple visits to both 

Afghanistan and Iraq. Ongoing SOF operations demonstrate the 

ability to collect significant amounts of pocket litter, hard copy documents, hard drives, cell phones, and other important hard copy 

and electronic media with significant intelligence value. However, 

without specialized expeditionary processing, this information becomes inaccessible and of no value to SOF in immediate urgent 

operational missions, and over the longer term to the war fighter, 

the intelligence community and others in need of access. To address this requirement, the Committee has provided an additional 

$14,900,000 in funding for acquisition and development of improved processing, exploitation, and dissemination capabilities— 

$6,900,000 in ‘‘Procurement, Defense-Wide’’, and $8,000,000 in ‘‘Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Defense-Wide’’. 

Procurement funding is provided for acquisition of multi-discipline intelligence processing, exploitation and dissemination capabilities intended to meet Special Operations Command’s unfunded 

requirement for full motion video exploitation. The funding will enable SOF to rapidly search and exploit accumulated tactical intelligence in support of operational decision-making and planning. 

Funding provided for Distributed Common Ground/Surface System (DCGS) capabilities modernization in the DCGS research, development, test and evaluation program shall be used to address 

requirements for integrating multi-function intelligence processing, 

exploitation and dissemination capabilities into the SOF information enterprise and the DCGS architecture. This funding is also 

provided to develop a DCGS tool for SOF to expand the capability 

to exploit documents and media for tactical and timely intelligence 

in forward deployed operations. The Committee believes that allowing larger volumes of data to be captured and processed more 

quickly while in the field will enable vastly improved support to 

not just SOF but all deployed war fighter operations.

SPECIAL INTEREST ITEMS

Items for which additional funds have been provided as shown in 

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

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

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

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

specifically addressed in the conference report. These items remain 

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

REPROGRAMMING GUIDANCE FOR ACQUISITION ACCOUNTS

The Committee directs the Department of Defense to continue to 

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

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

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

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

evaluation. The Department shall continue to follow the limitation 

that prior approval reprogrammings are set at either the specified 

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

thresholds are cumulative. Therefore, if the combined value of 

transfers into or out of a procurement (P–1) or research, development, test and evaluation (R–1) line exceeds the identified threshold, the Department of Defense must submit a prior approval reprogramming to the congressional defense committees. In addition, 

guidelines on the application of prior approval reprogramming procedures for congressional special interest items are established 

elsewhere in this report. 

REPROGRAMMING REPORTING REQUIREMENTS

The Committee directs the Under Secretary of Defense, Comptroller, to continue to provide the congressional defense committees 

quarterly, spreadsheet-based DD 1416 reports for service and defense-wide accounts in titles III and IV of this Act as required in 

the statement of the managers accompanying the Conference report on the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2006. 

FUNDING INCREASES

The Committee directs that the funding increases outlined in 

these tables shall be provided only for the specific purposes indicated in the tables.

CH–47 CHINOOK HELICOPTER

The budget request proposed $860,087,000 for 16 new build CH– 

47F helicopters and 11 remanufactured helicopters. The Committee 

notes that Congress provided funding for five new build helicopters 

in the Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2009, one above the number requested in order to better support the training base and 

home station training for units that are not deployed. The Committee recommends funding of $825,087,000, a reduction of 

$35,000,000, for 15 new build CH–47F helicopters and 11 remanufactured aircraft. 

EXTENDED RANGE/MULTI-PURPOSE UNMANNED AIRCRAFT SYSTEM

The fiscal year 2010 budget request proposed $401,364,000 for 24 

Extended Range/Multi-Purpose Unmanned Aircraft. The Committee is a strong supporter of unmanned aircraft and the flexibility and persistence they bring to the battlefield in both the reconnaissance and strike missions. However, the budget justification 

materials provided to the Committee indicate that the aircraft will 

be delivered over a 24 month time period. Accordingly the Committee recommends funding for the first 12 aircraft only. The Committee recommends funding of $238,364,000, a reduction of 

$163,000,000 below the budget request.

STRYKER

The budget request proposed $388,596,000 for Stryker program 

procurement. The funding requested would purchase safety and 

survivability upgrades but no additional vehicles. The Committee 

supports safety and survivability upgrades for the Stryker fleet; 

however, the Committee is concerned that $170,461,000 of the requested funding would be used for program management support 

and system technical support. The Committee recommends a reduction of $25,000,000 below the budget request for excessive program 

management costs. Additionally, the Committee has continuing 

concerns about the lack of production of additional Stryker vehicles. In the Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2009, Congress appropriated $200,000,000 above the request for the production of 

needed Stryker vehicles and for sustainment of the production 

base. The Committee is aware that the Army is considering the 

fielding of additional Stryker brigades in order to improve the balance of heavy, medium and light forces to enable a sustained response to the full spectrum of potential threats. Additionally, the 

Committee understands that the 5th Brigade (Stryker) of the 2nd 

Infantry Division, will leave its set of Strykers in Afghanistan after 

completion of the brigade’s combat tour. That set of Strykers will 

be the basis of a rotational Stryker brigade equipment set. The 

Army will reset the 5th Brigade (Stryker) of the 2nd Infantry Division with new production vehicles. In order to support the continued production of new Stryker vehicles, the Committee recommendation includes an additional $250,000,000. In all, the Committee recommends $613,596,000 for the procurement of Stryker 

vehicles, a net increase of $225,000,000.

FAMILY OF MEDIUM TACTICAL VEHICLES

The budget request proposed $1,158,522,000 for the procurement 

of Medium Tactical Vehicles. However, the Committee is aware 

that the contract award which was scheduled for July has been delayed at least until September. Accordingly, the Committee recommends funding for the Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles of 

$965,522,000, a reduction of $193,000,000 below the budget request. 

FAMILY OF HEAVY TACTICAL VEHICLES

The budget request proposed $812,918,000 for the procurement 

of Heavy Tactical Vehicles. However, the Committee is aware that 

the contract award for the Heavy Equipment Transporter System 

(HETS) M1070 Truck Tractor will not be made until January 2011. 

The Committee recommends funding for the Family of Heavy Tactical Vehicles of $786,566,000, a reduction of $26,352,000 below the 

budget request, with no funding for HETS Truck Tractors. 

MINE PROTECTION VEHICLE FAMILY

The budget request proposed $402,517,000 to procure vehicles for 

route clearance companies including 93 Medium Mine Protected 

Vehicles. The Committee is aware that the Medium Mine Protected 

Vehicle is essentially the same vehicle as the Mine Resistant Ambush Protected Vehicle (MRAP), and that the new vehicles proposed for purchase would not be delivered until fiscal year 2012. 

However, as Army units continue to depart Iraq, large numbers of 

MRAPs will become available for redistribution and may be used 

to fill the requirements for Medium Mine Protected Vehicles for engineer and explosive ordnance disposal units. Therefore, the Committee provides no funding for the procurement of Medium Mine 

Protected Vehicles. 

JOINT TACTICAL RADIO SYSTEM

The budget request proposed $90,204,000 for the procurement of Joint Tactical Radio System radios, including $55,164,000 to procure Joint Tactical Radio System radios for use in Multi-Service 

Operational Test and Evaluation. However, the Committee is 

aware that the contract option covering procurement of these test 

units is not expected to be exercised until fiscal year 2011 due to 

schedule delays. Accordingly, the Committee recommends funding 

of $35,040,000 in fiscal year 2010 for procurement of Joint Tactical 

Radio System radios, a reduction of $55,164,000 below the budget 

request. 

NIGHT VISION DEVICES (ENHANCED NIGHT VISION GOGGLES)

The budget request proposed $366,820,000 for Night Vision Devices, including $250,662,000 for Enhanced Night Vision Goggles. 

However, due to delays in the production of the Enhanced Night 

Vision Goggles, the Army has identified $131,900,000 of fiscal year 

2009 funds as excess and usable as reprogramming sources. Additionally, the Committee is aware that production delays will continue into fiscal year 2010, and that $75,000,000 is the amount 

that is executable for Enhanced Night Vision Goggles. Accordingly, 


wwoods2 on DSK1DXX6B1PROD with REPORTS
147 

the Committee recommends funding of $191,158,000 for Night Vision Devices, including $75,000,000 for Enhanced Night Vision goggles, a reduction of $175,662,000 below the budget request.

STRIKE FIGHTER SHORTFALL

Sustained, continued operations in overseas contingencies have 

resulted in the Department of the Navy’s tactical aircraft fleet (primarily the F–18 variant aircraft) being flown at an extremely high 

operational tempo. This has caused the aircraft to age at a faster 

rate than the Navy had planned when determining the introduction of the follow on aircraft, the F–35 Lightning II Joint Strike 

Fighter. The net result of these sustained operations is that the 

Navy is forecasting critical shortfalls in its strike fighter inventory. 

Delays in the introduction of the F–35 from the original forecast 

have exacerbated this shortfall. Last year, the Department of the 

Navy predicted that the shortfall would peak at 125 aircraft in fiscal year 2017. Although the Department of the Navy has not provided an updated shortfall prediction with the submission of this 

year’s budget, the Committee understands it is now over 200 aircraft. This is due to the fact that a key assumption in last year’s 

prediction, the life extension of the older variant F–18 aircraft, is 

proving to be more problematic than anticipated. Additionally, the 

Navy has reduced the number of F–18 aircraft being purchased in 

fiscal year 2010 from what was predicted last year. This reduction 

is confusing, since it moves the tactical aircraft inventory in the 

exact opposite direction one would expect when faced with a shortage of aircraft. 

Fortunately for the Navy, the production line for the F/A–18E/F 

variant aircraft is still open and producing aircraft. For the last ten 

years this program has produced cost effective aircraft under the 

umbrella of a multi-year procurement strategy, however the fiscal 

year 2010 aircraft are being purchased as a standalone, annually 

priced procurement. The unit price difference between an annual 

procurement and a multi-year procurement is substantial. Since 

the F–35 will not begin to deliver in significant quantities for several years, the Committee believes the Navy is letting a golden opportunity slip away by not entering into another multi-year procurement for F/A–18E/F aircraft. In addition to mitigating the 

strike fighter shortfall, the Navy would achieve significant savings 

by purchasing aircraft under a multi-year procurement. Therefore, 

the recommendation provides $108,000,000 above the request for 

the procurement of long lead equipment in an economic order 

quantity and cost reduction initiatives for a five year, 150 aircraft 

multi-year procurement for the F/A–18E/F and EA–18G programs. 

Additionally, in an attempt to further mitigate the strike fighter 

shortfall, the recommendation provides $495,000,000 for the procurement of an additional nine F/A–18E/F Aircraft. 

F–35 LIGHTNING II JOINT STRIKE FIGHTER

Last year, the Congress appropriated advance procurement funding for 14 fiscal year 2010 F–35 Short Take-Off and Vertical Landing (STOVL) aircraft. However, this year’s request contains full 

funding for the procurement of 16 STOVL aircraft. Without the 

proper advance procurement funding, two of the fiscal year 2010 

aircraft will not execute until fiscal year 2011. Since these aircraft 

will execute as fiscal year 2011 aircraft, they should be funded in 

fiscal year 2011. Therefore, the recommendation removes 


wwoods2 on DSK1DXX6B1PROD with REPORTS
154 

$300,000,000, the cost of two STOVL aircraft, from the program. 

This adjustment is consistent with the Navy’s own adjustments to 

other aircraft procurement programs.

STANDARD MISSILE

The Standard Missile SM–6 Extended Range Active Missile (SM– 

6 ERAM) is being developed to provide the Navy with the ability 

to engage extended range, challenging targets well into the future. 

Funding for the initial procurement of the SM–6 ERAM was appropriated in fiscal year 2009. The contract award for the first SM– 

6 ERAM procurement was expected to occur in January 2009, but 

has slipped to at least September 2009 and will likely slip into fiscal year 2010. The initial procurement of SM–6 ERAM will execute 

as a fiscal year 2010 contract award and allow the fiscal year 2010 

funding to be directed towards higher priority items. Therefore, the 

recommendation reduces the Standard Missile procurement program by $117,629,000.

SHIPBUILDING

The Navy’s fiscal year 2010 budget request for shipbuilding is 

moving closer to the goal of being able to reach and maintain the 

Navy’s stated requirement of 313 ships. The Committee firmly believes that in order to reach a fleet size of 313 ships, a minimum 

of ten ships per year should be constructed. Over the last ten 

years, the requested ship quantities have averaged less than seven 

ships per year. Although still short of the nominal ten ship level, 

the fiscal year 2010 budget requested funding for eight ships. The 

last time the Navy built at least nine ships was in 1992 when eleven ships were constructed. While the Committee recognizes that 

the shipbuilding plan is extremely complex, it is the backbone of 

the Navy’s future and the Navy is strongly encouraged to construct 

the quantity of ships necessary to maintain the required fleet size. 

In the interim, the Committee provides funding for two additional 

ships, as outlined below, to bring the fiscal year 2010 ship count 

up to the desired level of ten ships. 

LITTORAL COMBAT SHIP

The Littoral Combat Ship is envisioned as a fast, agile, 

networked surface combatant with capabilities designed to meet 

asymmetric threats and assure access into littoral regions. The program has experienced numerous problems during construction of 

the first two vessels, resulting in cost growth and schedule slippage. Although the program appears to have most of the technical 

issues resolved, the cost of the fiscal year 2010 ships will be subject 

to a cost cap to better control the cost of the program. The request 

contains sufficient funding for the program costs that will be subject to the cost cap, however, it lacks certain costs that are outside 

of the cost cap (such as design work and government costs). Therefore, the recommendation provides $2,160,000,000, an increase of 

$780,000,000 above the request, to fully fund the construction of 

the three Littoral Combat Ships in the request, as well as an additional ship to provide an increase in the quantity of ships for fiscal 

year 2010. 

JOINT HIGH SPEED VESSEL

The Joint High Speed Vessel (JHSV) is envisioned as a high 

speed, shallow draft vessel intended for the rapid intra-theater 

transport of personnel, equipment and supplies. The JHSV program is based on a commercial derivative design and uses a fixed 

price contracting method, which together should minimize cost and 

schedule growth. The Committee has a strong desire to increase 

stability to the Nation’s shipbuilding industrial base by increasing 

the quantity of ships being constructed each year. Therefore, the 

recommendation provides $357,956,000, an increase of 

$180,000,000, for the procurement of two Joint High Speed Vessels, 

which is an increase of one vessel above the request. 

SURFACE COMBATANTS

The Committee is concerned with the Navy’s apparent lack of a 

surface combatant acquisition plan. In recent years, the Navy has 

halted production of the DDG–51 guided missile destroyer program 


wwoods2 on DSK1DXX6B1PROD with REPORTS
166 

to start production of the DDG–1000 guided missile destroyer. 

After awarding only two construction contracts for DDG–1000 class 

ships, the Navy announced the termination of that program at 

three ships and made plans to restart the DDG–51 production line 

with no clear path for future surface combatant acquisition. The 

Committee is aware that surface combatants will be reviewed as 

part of the Quadrennial Defense Review and directs the Navy to 

review, as part of the Quadrennial Defense Review, the feasibility 

of using the technologies developed as part of the DDG–1000 program on future surface combatants to ensure the taxpayers get the 

maximum benefit from the significant funding that was sunk into 

the research and development phase of the DDG–1000 program. 

LEASING OF FOREIGN BUILT SHIPS

The Committee remains very concerned with the Navy’s practice 

of entering into extended leases for foreign built ships. Historically, 

these leases have met the intent of long term capital lease restrictions on an individual basis, but the recurring nature of several of 

the leases violates the spirit and intent of the 1990 Budget Enforcement Act. The Committee recognizes that the ships leased by 

the Navy fill an important role that must be continued through the 

near term and well into the future, but believes that ships that fill 

these roles can provide an economic opportunity for the domestic 

shipbuilding industry. Two years ago, the Committee received a report from the Navy on their practice of leasing foreign built ships 

and a plan for ending the practice of leasing foreign built ships by 

2012. The basic conclusion of the report was that the dependence 

on foreign built ships would be significantly reduced by the year 

2012, principally as a result of shifting requirements and modifications to existing Department of Defense assets. Since the administration is currently undertaking a review of future requirements, 

the Committee is extremely interested in how that review will affect the Navy’s practice of leasing foreign built ships. Therefore, the 

Committee directs the Secretary of the Navy to update the report 

submitted in March 2008 regarding the practice of leasing foreign 

built ships. The report should include the Navy’s updated plan for 

terminating the practice of leasing foreign built ships to supplement the fleet and using only domestic built ships by 2012. Additionally, the report should include the necessary budget and funding plans that may be required to accomplish this. This report 

should be submitted no later than March 31, 2010.

155MM LIGHTWEIGHT TOWED HOWITZER

The budget request proposed $7,420,000 for 155mm Lightweight 

Towed Howitzers. The Committee notes that Congress provided 

$186,000,000 in the Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2009, 

$117,000,000 greater than the requested amount of $69,000,000. 

Since the Congress previously provided for this request, the recommendation provides no funding for this appropriations request. 

The Committee recommendation is a reduction of $7,420,000. 

COMMUNICATION SWITCHING AND CONTROL SYSTEMS

The budget request proposed $98,254,000 for communication 

switching and control systems. The Committee notes that Congress 

provided $22,400,000 in the Supplemental Appropriations Act, 

2009, $6,000,000 greater than the requested amount of 

$16,400,000. Since the Congress previously provided for this request, the recommendation reduces the request by $6,000,000. 

MOTOR TRANSPORT MODIFICATIONS

The budget request proposed $6,111,000 for motor transport 

modifications. The Committee notes that Congress provided 

$38,355,000 in the Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2009, 

$22,500,000 greater than the requested amount of $15,855,000. 

Since the Congress previously provided for this request, the recommendation provides no funding for this appropriations request. 

AMPHIBIOUS SUPPORT EQUIPMENT

The budget request proposed $39,876,000 for amphibious support 

equipment. The Committee notes that Congress provided 

$11,545,000 in the Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2009, 

$11,000,000 greater than the requested amount of $545,000. Since 

the Congress previously provided for this request, the recommendation reduces the request by $11,000,000.

C–130 AVIONICS MODERNIZATION PROGRAM

The Committee provides no funding for the C–130 Avionics Modernization Program. The fiscal year 2008 funds were not placed on 

contract until September 2008 and the fiscal year 2009 funds have 

not yet been put on contract due to a delayed Milestone C decision. 

Based on these delays, the funding requested for fiscal year 2010 

is early to need. The Committee strongly encourages the Undersecretary of Defense (Acquisition, Technology and Logistics) to make 

a decision on the acquisition strategy and proceed expeditiously 

with the program of record. 

UNDEFINITIZED CONTRACT ACTIONS

The Committee has become aware of the excessive use of 

undefinitized contract actions (UCA’s) by the Air Force. Based on 

information obtained by the Committee, it is apparent that the Air 

Force has not provided the proper oversight of contracting activities 

within various programs. Specifically, the C–17 aircraft program 

has billions of dollars in undefinitized contracts. The Defense Federal Acquisition Regulations (DFAR) very clearly stipulate in subpart 217.74 that UCA’s are to be used as the exception not as the 

rule for urgent needs. It is common practice for the C–17 program 

to place all of its funding on a UCA and then immediately obligate 

up to 50 percent of the not-to-exceed price at the award which is 

a disincentive to definitize the contract. Further, the DFAR requires that the contract must be definitized within 180 days after 

the issuance of initial undefinitized action unless it is extended by 

another 180 days after the contractor submits a qualifying proposal. The C–17 program has numerous contracts well in excess of 

these timelines with proposal times for fiscal year 2007 funds ranging from 373 to 975 days and on average 688 days to definitize. 

This use of UCA’s places the taxpayer at a severe disadvantage 

when negotiating contracts since the contractor has little incentive 

to control costs while performing work under a UCA. 

Even more concerning to the Committee, is that this excessive 

use of UCA’s is not just isolated to procurement and modernization 

programs but has migrated to operation and maintenance programs. Based on information supplied by the Air Force, a Deputy 

Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Contracting memorandum 

dated 28 November 2001 authorized the waiver of the limitations 

in the DFAR for definitization schedule and obligations for UCAs 

that support overseas operations. With this memorandum as justification, the Air Force has placed the fiscal year 2009 C–17 depot 

funding on a UCA which is still not definitized in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year even though the Air Force has obligated 89.7 

percent of the $1,118,679,167 not-to-exceed price. This rationale for 

the use of a undefinitized contracts for routine activities is abusive. 

The Committee directs the Secretary of the Air Force to address 

this situation within 30 days of enactment of this Act to include the 

cancellation of the November 2001 memorandum. The Committee 

further directs the Air Force to provide a detailed report to the congressional defense committees of all undefinitized UCA’s in excess 

of $50,000,000 within 30 days of enactment of this Act. The report 

shall include the date the UCA was initiated, the not-to-exceed 


wwoods2 on DSK1DXX6B1PROD with REPORTS
191 

price, the amount obligated on the UCA, and the planned date for 

definitization. 

While the Committee understands the need at times for programs to use this type of contracting mechanism, it appears that 

the Air Force has grossly abused it with respect to volume, value, 

and time to definitize. The Committee insists that the Air Force finalize all existing undefinitized contract actions in an expedited 

manner and to minimize the use of UCA’s the future. To encourage 

a sense of urgency, the Committee has included a new proviso in 

the Aircraft Procurement, Air Force appropriating paragraph which 

specifies that for C–17 procurement and modernization efforts 

funded with Aircraft Procurement, Air Force the obligation of fiscal 

year 2010 procurement funds is prohibited until the existing UCA’s 

are definitized. The Committee further directs the Undersecretary 

of Defense, Acquisition, Technology and Logistics (USD(AT&L)) to 

review contracting procedures within the Air Force and provide a 

report to the congressional defense committees within 90 days of 

enactment of this Act detailing a strategy to reduce current and 

minimize future undefinitized contracts in the Air Force. 

C–17 AIRCRAFT

The C–17 Globemaster III aircraft has been the supply and logistics workhorse of the ongoing overseas conflicts. This platform has 

been responsible for the airlift of more cargo and personnel than 

any other platform. In recognition of the platforms contributions to 

the Nation’s security, the Committee provides an additional 

$674,100,000 for the procurement of three C–17 aircraft. The Committee recognizes that this is well below the minimum sustaining 

rate required for the production line. In an effort to avoid the extremely high costs associated with small production lots, the Committee’s intent is that these aircraft be absorbed into the fiscal year 

2009 production run that was funded from the Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2009, to create a full production run funded over 

a two year period. The Committee intends that the pricing for 

these aircraft be consistent with the 2009 aircraft, using methods 

such as a fixed price option to the fiscal year 2009 production contract. 

COMBAT SEARCH AND RESCUE HELICOPTERS

The Committee recommends $140,000,000 for the procurement of 

five HH–60M helicopters lost in combat since 2001. With the April 

6th termination by the Secretary of Defense of the much delayed 

Combat Search and Rescue program, it is apparent to the Committee that a continued delay in replacing aircraft lost in combat 

is not acceptable. Accordingly, the Committee directs the Department of the Air Force to pursue replacement aircraft based upon 

currently fielded capabilities leveraging existing multi-service solutions and modifying the aircraft with the appropriate mission 

equipment. Additionally, the Committee provides $81,000,000 for forward 

looking infrared radars to provide existing HH–60G helicopters 

with common obstacle/terrain avoidance capability during night or 

adverse weather conditions and hover cues during rescue hoist/insertion operations. Furthermore, the recommendation includes 


wwoods2 on DSK1DXX6B1PROD with REPORTS
192 

$20,200,000 for new .50 caliber machine guns to replace legacy .50 

caliber machine guns. 

These investments continue the Committee’s long standing commitment to combat search and rescue, building on its fiscal year 

2007 appropriation of $99,000,000 which provided much needed upgrades to the HH–60G Pave Hawk aircraft.

EVOLVED EXPENDABLE LAUNCH VEHICLE

In the fiscal year 2009 Defense Appropriations Act, the National 

Reconnaissance Office’s (NRO) 30 percent share of the Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle (EELV) Launch Capability (ELC) funds 

was transferred to the Air Force; however, there was no language 

specifying any further action. It was, and remains, the Committee’s 

intent to make the Air Force responsible for the ELC in its entirety. 

Consistent with the Explanatory Statement accompanying the 

fiscal year 2009 Appropriation Act, the Committee directs the 

transfer of the fiscal year 2010 NRO share of the ELC funds to the 

Air Force and directs that the Office of Management and Budget 

transfer the remaining ELC funds across the Future Years Defense 

Program from the NRO to the Air Force. 

The Committee is concerned that the Air Force has not established a robust process for managing content on the ELC contract. 

Therefore, the Committee directs the Air Force Space and Missile 

Systems Center, Launch and Ranges Wing, to establish a formal 

systems engineering process, which includes NRO as the functional 

manager for space launch for the Intelligence Community, as a voting member, in order to prioritize and manage all efforts encompassed by the ELC contract. In addition, the NRO will continue its 

space launch partnership with the Air Force as a voting member 

for ELC award fee determinations. 

MULTI-SATELLITE VEHICLE PROCUREMENT STRATEGIES

The Committee is concerned about the space system procurement 

strategies currently being employed by the Air Force. The current 

strategies have driven up costs significantly due to production 

breaks, inefficient supply chain procurement, inefficient production 

flow, and delays recognizing the need to replenish obsolete material. The Committee is interested in exploring options that would 

help to mitigate those inefficiencies in future satellite and launch 

vehicle purchases. 

The Committee believes there are two space systems that show 

promise for multi-vehicle purchasing strategies, the Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle (EELV) program and the Space Based Infrared Satellite (SBIRS) system. Therefore, the Committee directs 

the Secretary of the Air Force to provide the congressional defense 

committees with a five-year investment strategy for pursuing 

multi-vehicle purchase of the next block increment of the SBIRS 

highly elliptical orbit and geostationary orbit satellites and EELV 

systems by February 1, 2010.

SMALL BUSINESS TECHNOLOGY INSERTION

The Committee is well aware of the multitude of development 

problems experienced by numerous acquisition programs over the 

past several years. Although these problems have been caused by 

a variety of factors, the Committee believes that one significant factor is the rapid pace at which technology has been changing. The 

pace is so fast that the Department’s acquisition programs have 

been unable to remain current. Therefore, the Committee is extremely supportive of initiatives that transform how weapons systems are developed and fielded. A good example of a transformational effort is the incorporation of open architecture technologies. Developing weapons systems with open architecture technologies allows these systems to keep pace with changing technologies and ultimately reduces the overall weapons system cost. 

Two years ago, the Committee began an initiative to tap into the 

innovative and creative processes that typify small business. The 

Navy in particular has been very aggressive in pursuing the benefits of small business innovation in the arena of open architecture. 

Since this initiative has been so successful, the recommendation 

provides an additional $80,000,000 for small business technology 

insertion, placed in various Army, Navy, and Defense-Wide research and development programs. 

JOINT STRIKE FIGHTER ALTERNATE ENGINE

The F–35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter program truly represents the Nation’s future with respect to tactical aviation. The 

Navy, Marine Corps and Air Force plan to procure over 2,500 of 

these fifth generation stealthy aircraft and will fly them well into 

the future. The Department’s original plan for the F–35 propulsion 

engine was to have two engine variants. Cost growth in other areas 

of the development program resulted in the Department abandoning the alternate engine program. Currently, all three variants 

of the F–35 aircraft will be powered by the same propulsion engine. 

Although this will make the logistics for the aircraft less complex, 

this practice presents problems. The Committee is extremely concerned that in the near future when the F–35 will comprise the 

majority of the Nation’s tactical aircraft inventory any technical 

problems with the engine could theoretically ground the entire fleet 

of aircraft. If this situation were to arise in a time of crisis, the 

Commander-in-Chief’s flexibility would be severely limited. 

Another area of concern for the Committee is the lack of competition for the Joint Strike Fighter engine program. With over 2,500 

aircraft envisioned for this program, the potential for cost savings 

through an engine competition is enormous. The Committee is 

aware that the Department conducted a business case analysis that 

compared the cost of the program of record (sole source engine provider) to a program using a dual source strategy for the engine program. The business case concluded that the costs of the two programs were essentially the same. Since the Congress has put several hundred million dollars into the development of an alternate 

engine program since this business case was published, the Committee is puzzled by the Department’s decision to not fund the alternate engine. With the majority of the upfront development cost 


wwoods2 on DSK1DXX6B1PROD with REPORTS
216 

having been sunk into the program, it seems clear that from this 

point forward the dual source strategy is the most cost effective 

method to acquire the propulsion engine for the Joint Strike Fighter. Therefore, the recommendation provides an additional 

$430,000,000 for the continued development of the alternate engine 

and $130,000,000 for alternate engine production costs for a total 

of $560,000,000 above the request for the alternate engine program. Further, since a dual source engine strategy is the most cost 

effective method for acquiring engines from this point forward, the 

Secretary of Defense is directed to include funding for the alternate 

engine program in future budget requests. 

EXECUTIVE AGENCY FOR ENERGETICS

The Committee is aware that executive agents can add bureaucracy and, in the absence of carefully considered responsibilities and 

authorities, detract from the efficiency of the Department of Defense. The Committee is also aware that the Services of the Department of Defense are well coordinated, through the Office of the 

Secretary of Defense, with the Department of Energy which has led 

to tremendous progress in the last decade advancing the state of 

energetics and revitalizing the energetics research and development workforce. Accordingly, the Committee directs that no funds 

be expended for the creation of a new Executive Agent or Executive 

Director for Advanced Energetics. The Committee recommends that 

the Department of Defense capitalize on existing best practices 

within the individual Services to advance the state of the 

energetics field to better meet the needs of the joint warfighter. 

SPECIAL INTEREST ITEMS

Items for which additional funds have been provided as shown in 

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

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

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

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

specifically addressed in the conference report. These items remain 

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

REPROGRAMMING GUIDANCE FOR ACQUISITION ACCOUNTS

The Committee directs the Department of Defense to continue to 

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

Defense Appropriations Bill (H.R.109–110). Specifically, the dollar 

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

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

evaluation. The Department shall continue to follow the limitation 

that prior approval reprogrammings are set at either the specified 

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

thresholds are cumulative. Therefore, if the combined value of 

transfers into or out of a procurement (P–1) or research, development, test and evaluation (R–1) line exceed the identified threshold, the Department of Defense must submit a prior approval reVerDate Nov 24 2008 05:35 Jul 25, 2009 Jkt 051229 PO 00000 Frm 00226 Fmt 6601 Sfmt 6601 E:\HR\OC\HR230.XXX HR230

programming to the congressional defense committees. In addition, 

guidelines on the application of prior approval reprogramming procedures for congressional special interest items are established 

elsewhere in this report. 

REPROGRAMMING REPORTING REQUIREMENTS

The Committee directs the Under Secretary of Defense, Comptroller, to continue to provide the congressional defense committees 

quarterly, spreadsheet-based DD 1416 reports for service and defense-wide accounts in titles III and IV of this Act as required in 

the statement of the managers accompanying the Conference report on the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2006.

FUTURE COMBAT SYSTEMS

On April 6, 2009 the Secretary of Defense announced a restructure of the Army Future Combat Systems (FCS). The restructured 

program will expand the spin out of technology enhancements for 

all Army combat brigades and cancel the manned ground vehicle 

component of the program. On June 23, 2009, the Under Secretary 

of Defense (Acquisition, Technology and Logistics) directed that due 

to the directive language found in Section 8085 of the Consolidated 

Security, Disaster Assistance, and Continuing Appropriations Act, 

2009 pertaining to the independent development and fielding of the 

Non-Line of Sight Cannon component, work on the cannon component would be stopped but not terminated. However, the Committee has not retained this language in this bill, relieving the 

Army from the management and production requirements related 

to the Non-Line of Sight Cannon. Also, on June 23, 2009, the 

Under Secretary of Defense published a Future Combat Systems 

(FCS) Brigade Combat Team (BCT) Acquisition Decision Memorandum which cancels the FCS Brigade Combat Team acquisition 

program; holds the Non-Line of Sight Cannon component in a stop 

work status; and transitions to integrated acquisition programs 

that will spin out equipment sets to seven brigades; proceed with 

a brigade modernization effort to develop, produce and field unmanned systems, sensors and the communications network; and explore development of new ground combat vehicles. 

The Committee supports the Army’s efforts to promptly field 

proven advances in technology to all combat brigades while refocusing efforts to modernize the equipment in brigade combat 

teams. The Committee supports Army efforts to harvest technology 

from the current manned ground vehicle program, and work with 

the Marine Corps to identify capability gaps and lessons learned 

from recent combat operations. The budget request proposes 

$2,553,042,000 for FCS research, development, test and evaluation 

and $327,921,000 in procurement funding; in all $2,880,963,000. 

The Committee recommends $2,669,963,000, as requested for FCS 

lines with the exception of the Non-Line of Sight Cannon and 

Manned Ground Vehicles, as discussed below. 

NON-LINE OF SIGHT CANNON

The budget request proposed $58,216,000 for termination of the 

Future Combat Systems (FCS) Non-Line of Sight Cannon program. 

The Committee is aware that as of the end of April 2009 the program had approximately $236,500,000 in unexecuted fiscal year 

2009 procurement and research, development, test and evaluation 

funding. Additionally, the Committee understands that the basis 

for the request for termination funding was uncertain and preliminary. Therefore, the Committee recommends funding of 

$31,216,000 for termination costs, a reduction of $27,000,000 below 

the budget request. 

The Committee bill has not retained the directive language found 

in Section 8085 of The Consolidated Security, Disaster Assistance, 

and continuing Appropriations Act, 2009 pertaining to the independent development and fielding of the Non-Line of Sight Cannon 

component.

FUTURE COMBAT SYSTEMS MANNED GROUND VEHICLES

The budget request proposed $368,557,000 for termination of the 

Future Combat Systems Manned Ground Vehicle component. However, the Committee is aware that as of the end of April 2009 the 

program had approximately $740,000,000 in unexecuted fiscal year 

2009 funds available. The Committee believes that a significant 

portion of termination requirements should be funded with available funding. The Committee recommends $184,557,000 for termination costs, a reduction of $184,000,000 below the budget request. 

MANNED GROUND VEHICLE

The budget request proposed $100,000,000 for a new Manned 

Ground Vehicle Program which is intended to capture the design 

effort and technological advances from the Future Combat Systems 

Manned Ground Vehicle component for leverage in a follow on program. The Committee is aware of the Army’s desire to proceed 

quickly with the new Manned Ground Vehicle program; however, 

the Committee believes the estimate of funding required to initiate 

the effort is uncertain and accordingly, the Committee recommends 

funding of $50,000,000, a reduction of $50,000,000 below the request. 

AEROSTAT JOINT PROGRAM OFFICE

The budget request proposed $360,076,000 for the Aerostat Joint 

Program Office. However, the Joint Land Attack Cruise Missile Defense Elevated Netted Sensor System Development and Demonstration (SDD) program has been delayed 12 months, extending 

the SDD effort into fiscal year 2011. The Committee recommends 

funding of $288,076,000, a reduction of $72,000,000 below the request. 

TACTICAL UNMANNED AERIAL SYSTEMS

The budget request proposed $202,521,000 for Tactical Unmanned Aerial Systems research, development, test and evaluation. The Committee notes the ever increasing demand for Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance products provided by unmanned aerial vehicles, including the Shadow and Predator series 

aircraft. In recognition of this requirement, the Congress in the 

Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2009 fully funded the requested 

amount for procurement of Tactical Unmanned Aerial Systems and 

provided $80,000,000 in additional funding to enhance and accelerate capabilities. The Committee strongly supports advances in 

Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance capability, but the 

Committee is concerned that the program growth proposed for fiscal year 2010 above the fiscal year 2009 appropriated amount of 

$104,276,000 is unjustified and recommends funding of 

$172,521,000, a reduction of $30,000,000.

BONE MARROW REGISTRY

The Committee has included $31,500,000 for the Department of 

the Navy, to be administered by the C.W. Bill Young Marrow 

Donor Recruitment and Research Program, also known as and referred to within the Naval Medical Research Center as the Bone 

Marrow Registry. Funds appropriated for the C.W. Bill Young Marrow Donor Recruitment and Research Program shall remain available only for the purposes for which they were appropriated and 

may only be obligated for the C.W. Bill Young Marrow Program. 

This Department of Defense donor center has recruited more than 

525,000 Department of Defense volunteers, and provides more marrow donors per week than any other donor center in the Nation. 

More than 3,360 servicemembers and other Department volunteers 

from this donor center have provided marrow to save the lives of 

patients. The success of this national and international life-saving 

program for military and civilian patients, which now includes 

more than 7,500,000 potential volunteer donors is admirable. Further, the agencies involved in contingency planning are encouraged 

to continue to include the C.W. Bill Young Marrow Donor Recruitment and Research Program in the development and testing of 

their contingency plans. The Department of Defense form (DD 

Form 1414) shall show this as a congressional interest item. The 

Department is further directed to release all the funds appropriated for this purpose to the C.W. Bill Young Marrow Donor Recruitment and Research Program within 60 days of the enactment 

of this Act. 

VH–71 PRESIDENTIAL HELICOPTER

The Committee has included $400,000,000 above the President’s 

request to make the five Increment I VH–71 Presidential helicopters operational. Although the Navy would not respond to the 

Committee regarding costs to operationalize the previously purchased five aircraft, the Future Year’s Defense Plan for fiscal year 

2009 proposed $328,000,000 for fiscal year 2010 and $140,000,000 

in fiscal year 2011 to complete testing and outfitting to make the 

aircraft operational. 

The Navy has invested over $3,200,000,000 in the VH–71 Presidential helicopter program. On April 6, 2009, the Secretary of Defense announced the cancellation of the program. To date, the Navy 

has provided no plan for the disposition of the five aircraft that 

were intended to provide interim service in the Presidential helicopter fleet due to the age of the current fleet. If these aircraft are 

not made operational, the previously appropriated funds will have 

been wasted. 

The Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to submit a report on progress toward making the five Increment I VH–71 Presidential helicopters operational. The report shall be submitted to 

the congressional defense committees no later than 30 days after 

the enactment of this Act. 

EXPEDITIONARY FIGHTING VEHICLE

The budget request proposed $293,466,000 for the continued development of the Marine Corps’ Expeditionary Fighting Vehicle 


wwoods2 on DSK1DXX6B1PROD with REPORTS
262 

(EFV). The Committee notes that the Secretary of Defense statement regarding program cancellations reiterated that the ‘‘department . . . must stop programs that significantly exceed their budget’’ and ‘‘modernization goals should be tied to the actual and prospective capabilities of known future adversaries—not by what 

might be technologically feasible for a potential adversary given 

unlimited time and resources.’’ Research and development cost estimates for the EFV increased from $1,500,000,000 in 2000 to 

$3,600,000,000 in 2009, according to the Government Accountability Office, and per-vehicle costs have increased from $8,000,000 

to $23,000,000, while the number of vehicles to be procured was reduced by one-half. 

The Expeditionary Fighting Vehicle has experienced cost growth, 

schedule slips and technical issues throughout its development 

cycle. Given the nearly 15 years and billions of dollars invested in 

the EFV program, the Committee has serious reservations whether 

the program will ever meet a standard for completion, with initial 

operational capability now projected at 2015, and full operational 

capability now projected at 2025. Therefore, the recommendation 

reduces the request by $50,000,000.

AERIAL REFUELING TANKER REPLACEMENT PROGRAM

The Committee firmly believes that the Department must act 

promptly to recapitalize the aging Air Force aerial refueling fleet. 

The Department’s current program has been beset with countless 

setbacks, from allegations of corruption to a protest of the previous 

source selection decision. In the meantime, our nation’s aerial refueling tankers continue to age, with the average age of a KC–135 

being almost 50 years old today. The aerial refueling replacement 

program (KC–X, KC–Y and KC–Z) plans to procure between 12 and 

15 aircraft per year to eventually replace the current fleet of 513 

aircraft. This method of recapitalization will take decades to complete, with the current fleet of Eisenhower-era tankers being 80 

years old by the time the last legacy aircraft is retired. During this 

period, the Air Force will invest billions of taxpayer dollars in 

maintenance of an ever aging and increasingly unreliable fleet. 

Based on studies conducted by the Department of Defense, total 

fleet costs are anticipated to increase from $2.1 billion per year to 

$3 billion per year by 2040 due to increasing depot maintenance 

and forecasted modernization programs in avionics and aircraft 

systems. Additionally, the Department anticipates depot maintenance costs increasing from $320,000,000 to $1,100,000,000 in 2040 

due to aging aircraft related maintenance. Never in the history of 

our Nation has the military purposely planned to maintain aircraft 

past 50 years, much less 80 years of operation so even these estimates may understate the actual cost. In addition to the cost of 

maintaining the aging tanker fleet, the cost per flying hour of a 

new tanker is almost half the cost of the existing fleet. The lower 

cost per flying hour alone will save the taxpayer $1,795,500,000 per 

year for a fleet of 513 aircraft (current total aircraft inventory) or 

$3,500,000 per plane per year replaced. 

To address these concerns, the Committee recommendation includes a general provision providing $439,615,000 and the option 

for choosing one vendor or dual sourcing for the aerial refueling 

Tanker replacement program. Along with this authority, the Committee believes that it is in the best interest of the taxpayer to pursue recapitalization at a rate of 36 aircraft per year vice 12 or 15 

aircraft. This quantity will allow for recapitalization in one-third 

the time and thus allow for a rapid retirement of the current KC– 

135 aircraft. This plan will result in avoiding a large sustainment 

and modernization cost of the legacy KC–135 fleet by allowing 

them to retire earlier than is currently programmed. Additionally, 

having more than one aircraft provider will allow for competition 

to help control the procurement cost, promote cost reduction measures, and allow for a faster aircraft replacement rate. 

Further, the Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to, prior 

to the release of a draft or final request for proposal soliciting bids 

for an aerial tanker replacement aircraft, submit a report to the 

congressional defense committees that includes a description of key 

mission requirement and performance parameters that will be used 

as the basis for determining the key selection criteria in the source 

selection process; a full and complete characterization and definition of ‘‘best value’’; a description of the process that the Department of Defense intends to use to ensure open, balanced and transVerDate Nov 24 2008 05:35 Jul 25, 2009 Jkt 051229 PO 00000 Frm 00286 Fmt 6601 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\HR230.XXX HR230

parent communications with potential offerors; and a full description of the corrections made to the source selection process that addresses the issues raised by the Government Accountability Office 

in its ‘‘Statement Regarding the Bid Protest Decision Resolving the 

Aerial Refueling Tanker Protest by the Boeing Company, B311344 

et. al, June 18, 2008’’. 

COMMON VERTICAL LIFT SUPPORT PROGRAM

The request includes $9,513,000 for the Common Vertical Lift 

Support Program to address vertical lift support for nuclear weapon convoy escort, emergency security response and other missions. 

This program was initiated as a new start in fiscal year 2009 to 

study the recapitalization of the Air Force H–1 Helicopter fleet 

with plans for a commercial-off-the-shelf platform with initial operational capability in fiscal year 2013. Estimates provided by the Air 

Force indicate that the average procurement unit cost will be approximately $60,000,000. This estimate is far greater than the 

costs for platforms similar to H–1 helicopters currently in production with the Army, Navy and Marine Corps. The Committee recommends $2,000,000 for program management support for the 

Common Vertical Lift Support Program and urges the Air Force to 

pursue programs currently in production with other Services to address their requirements instead of pursuing a costly new development program. 

BOMBER CREW SAFETY STUDY

The Committee has provided an additional $1,200,000 for the Air 

Force to conduct a B–52H seat re-engineering study to improve the 

capabilities of the current seat. The study should provide a plan for 

improving existing seats or equipping the aircraft with the newest 

technology resulting in significant performance and safety improvements and commonality with other aircraft in the Air Force fleet 

such as the T–38, T–6 and the F–35. 

JOINT STARS DEMONSTRATION

The Committee has directed the permanent transfer of a 

SYERS–3 sensor to the Air Force for completion of the SYERS 

Demonstration Program initiated in the Defense Appropriations 

Act, 2008. The Committee directs that the Air Force notify the congressional defense committees upon formal receipt of the sensor 

and expects that this transfer of ownership will expedite completion of the demonstration program. In addition, the Committee directs that the Air Force submit a written report to the congressional defense committees on the results of the demonstration program, and any proposed future use of the SYERS–3 sensor in any 

Air Force program, not later than 30 days after completion of the 

demonstration. 

EVOLVED EXPENDABLE LAUNCH VEHICLE SUSTAINMENT PLANS

to submit an Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle (EELV) 

sustainment plan to the congressional defense committees by JanuVerDate Nov 24 2008 05:35 Jul 25, 2009 Jkt 051229 PO 00000 Frm 00287 Fmt 6601 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\HR230.XXX HR230

ary 4, 2010. This plan should include time-phased actions necessary to sustain the EELV program until 2030. It should also include the actions to insure that EELV launch capabilities and industrial base are maintained. In addition, the plan should include 

a roadmap for the infusion of new technology as well as increased 

reliability, maintainability and producibility of Pre-Planned Product Improvement efforts. 

In particular, the state of the liquid rocket propulsion industrial 

base should be addressed in the plan. The report should identify 

the minimum level of investments and areas of technology development required to ensure the United States has a robust and viable 

liquid rocket engine industrial base beyond 2015 with focus on 

upper stage engine development. The report should identify technology development areas and annual funding requirements to support these technology areas. 

In addition to the EELV sustainment plan, the Committee directs the Department of Defense’s Cost Assessment and Program 

Evaluation group to perform a follow-up assessment of the United 

Launch Alliance merger and assess the status of the projected cost 

savings suggested at the time of the merger. 

30-YEAR SPACE SYSTEM INVESTMENT STRATEGY

The Committee is concerned that there is no clear path for space 

system investment. The Committee strongly believes that an annual long-range plan for space system investment will provide a 

necessary roadmap for future government and industrial base investments. The Committee envisions this long-range plan be structured like the Annual Long-Range Plan for Construction of Naval 

Vessels. Similarly, this plan should contain information on the research, development, test and evaluation, as well as, the procurement, including schedule and funding profiles, for all Department 

of Defense and Intelligence Community National Security Space 

Systems, including ground systems for the next 30 years. 

The Committee also expects the plan to include individual acquisition plans that provide descriptions of the programs and how 

these systems will meet the national security needs described in 

the most recent Quadrennial Defense Review and Space Posture 

Review. The report should also include the estimated levels of annual funding necessary to carry out the programs as well as a discussion of the acquisition strategies on which such estimated levels 

of annual funding are based to include both military and national 

intelligence funding. 

Because the long-range space investment strategy is dependent 

on the state of the space industrial base, the Committee recommends the Department of Defense Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation (CAPE) office continue with the current studies 

and projects on the Space Industrial Base and begin other industrial base analysis efforts such as shipbuilding. 

The Committee directs the Secretary of the Air Force and the Director of the National Reconnaissance Office, in coordination with 

the Secretary of Defense and the Director of National Intelligence, 

to deliver the 30-year Space System Investment Strategy to the 

congressional defense and intelligence committees by March 1, 

2010. As necessary, the report should contain a classified appendix. 


wwoods2 on DSK1DXX6B1PROD with REPORTS
279 

Finally, the Committee also recognizes that good planning requires good budgeting and oversight mechanisms. For the past two 

years, the Committee has directed the Secretary of Defense to create a major force program category for space. The Committee expects that the space major force program will be implemented by 

the submission of the fiscal year 2011 budget. 

OPERATIONALLY RESPONSIVE SPACE FULL COST AND PERFORMANCE

ACCOUNTING

Operationally Responsive Space (ORS) proposals are currently 

not evaluated using Department of Defense oversight mechanisms 

for assessing cost, schedule and performance as it relates to requirements and investment strategies. The Committee directs that 

all current and future ORS projects be independently assessed as 

it pertains to performance against validated Joint Requirements 

Oversight Council or Mission Requirements Board requirements to 

assess the proposed capabilities in relation to current acquisitions, 

existing material solutions, laboratory initiatives, and tactics, techniques and procedures. In addition, these proposals should also be 

independently assessed by the Department’s Cost Assessment and 

Program Evaluation group for cost and schedule reliability. 

NATIONAL POLAR-ORBITING OPERATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL SATELLITE

SYSTEM

The Committee remains concerned that the memorandum of 

agreement (MOA) signed December 18, 2008 is not being adhered 

to by the National Polar-orbiting Operational Environmental Satellite System (NPOESS) Executive Committee participants. Therefore, the Committee directs that none of the funds made available 

to the Department of Defense for the NPOESS program shall be 

obligated or expended until the Undersecretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics certifies in writing to the congressional defense committees that the NPOESS program is being 

managed in compliance with the Department of Defense 5000-series acquisition guidelines and that the participants are complying 

with the MOA signed on December 18, 2008. The Committee also 

expects the Department’s Cost Analysis and Program Evaluation 

group to perform an updated independent review of the program 

cost estimate and schedule profile.

HISTORICALLY BLACK COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES AND MINORITY

INSTITUTIONS

The budget request proposed $15,164,000 for Historically Black 

Colleges and Universities and Minority Institutions (HBCU/MI). 

On February 6, 2009, a Federal Court of Appeals decision ruled 

that the HBCU account was unconstitutional. The ‘‘Rothe’’ decision 

on 10 USC 2323 ended the program when it ruled that 2323 was 

unconstitutional in its entirety. The program is contingent upon an 

appeal by the Department of Justice and the Department of Defense or the enactment of new legislation that allows the Department of Defense HBCU/MI program to continue. 

In the absence of a final decision on the appeal, the Committee 

rescinds $34,457,000, the amount remaining from the fiscal year 

2009 appropriation, and appropriates $49,621,000, an amount 

equal to the amount rescinded, plus the amount proposed in the 

budget request, plus an additional $9,400,000 recommended by the 

Committee. In total, the Committee recommendation for HBCU/MI 

is $65,521,000. 

VOICE ANALYSIS FOR TRUTH VERIFICATION AND DETECTION OF DECEIT

The Secretary of Defense shall provide a report to the congressional defense committees on memos, letters, and After Action 

Field Reports supporting the use of security level technologies designed for truth verification and detection of deceit through voice 

analysis. The report shall be submitted not later than 90 days after 

enactment of this Act. 

DEFENSE ADVANCED RESEARCH PROJECTS AGENCY

The Committee has included $3,048,054,000 for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), which is a decrease of 

$200,000,000 from the fiscal year 2010 request and a decrease of 

$81,970,000 from the amount appropriated in fiscal year 2009. 

Based on historic under execution in several program elements, the 

Committee has reduced this funding level. 

MISSILE DEFENSE AGENCY REPORTING REQUIREMENTS AND

JUSTIFICATION MATERIALS

The budget justification provided by the Missile Defense Agency 

(MDA) continues to be insufficient to conduct proper oversight of 

MDA’s programs. However, the Committee commends the Agency 

for establishing the two new procurement lines that were created 

in Public Law 110–369 and anticipates additional adjustments to 

budget documentation to include an operation and maintenance account in fiscal year 2011 and beyond. MDA programs have historically changed significantly from the time the budget is submitted 

to the time funding is appropriated, making it extremely difficult 

to understand what is actually in the budget on an annual basis. 

The justification materials must provide more detailed schedules, 

quantities, and break-outs of funding for each activity. MDA is directed to report according to the existing acquisition laws to improve accountability and transparency of the programs.

BALLISTIC MISSILE DEFENSE TEST AND TARGETS

In December 2008, the Director of the Missile Defense Agency 

initiated a review of the entire Ballistic Missile Defense test program. The Integrated Master Test Plan’s primary purpose is to establish and document the executable test baseline program for fiscal years 2010 through 2015 including testing beyond fiscal year 

2015 to satisfy critical engagement conditions and empirical measurement events data collection requirements. To date the Integrated Master Test Plan has neither been approved by the Missile 

Defense Agency, Joint Interoperability Test Command, Joint Functional Component Command-Integrated Missile Defense, nor the 

Army, Navy or Air Force Operational Test and Evaluation Centers. 

The Committee is aware and concerned that a test scheduled for 

fiscal year 2010 has already slipped to the first quarter of fiscal 

year 2011 and that target synchronization with the test schedule 

remains an open issue. Therefore, the Committee has reduced the 

budget request by $26,000,000 for a total of $940,752,000 available 

in fiscal year 2010. Finally, of the funding provided, $470,376,000 

shall not be available for obligation until the Director of the Missile 

Defense Agency provides notification of its intent to obligate any 

additional funding above $470,376,000 and receives prior approval 

of the congressional defense committees. 

ISRAELI MISSILE DEFENSE COOPERATIVE PROGRAMS

The Committee has provided an additional $82,800,000 for a 

total of $202,434,000 for Israeli Missile Defense Cooperative Programs and supports efforts to develop an upper-tier follow-on to the 

Arrow Weapons System. After numerous changes to the requirements of the program, the United States and Israel continue to 

move forward in the development of the Arrow–3 Interceptor. The 

Committee understands that the Department is currently discussing the project agreement with the Israeli Ministry of Defense 

to make certain that the agreement will contain clear knowledge 

points and a schedule that will outline the development of the program. Once an agreement has been reached, the Committee directs 

the Department to submit a report to the congressional defense 

committees not later than January 29, 2010, that outlines the 

agreed knowledge points, schedule and an assessment of whether 

the program is currently meeting the outlined milestones. 

AEGIS BALLISTIC MISSILE DEFENSE

The Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) system is the first mobile, global, deployable and proven capability that can destroy missiles both above and within the atmosphere as well as providing a 

forward-deployed surveillance capability in support of homeland defense. However, the Committee is concerned that there are large 

unobligated and unexpended balances and that two tests planned, 

FTM–16 and FTX–08, have the potential to slip into the first quarter of fiscal year 2011. Additionally, within the budget request six 

additional ships are to be upgraded for BMD operations. However 

the configuration for the upgrades has yet to be determined, and 

the Block 5.2 Aegis BMD will incorporate a new missile type which 


wwoods2 on DSK1DXX6B1PROD with REPORTS
298 

still needs to be determined. Therefore, the Committee reduces the 

budget request by $50,000,000. 

SPACE TRACKING AND SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM (STSS)

It is premature for the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) to move 

forward with a follow-on STSS constellation until after a successful 

launch and thorough analysis of the STSS demonstrator data. 

Therefore, the Committee reduces the fiscal year 2010 request by 

$20,000,000 and directs MDA to provide a detailed report to the 

congressional defense committees not later than 30 days after a 

successful launch of both satellites has been completed. 

KINETIC ENERGY INTERCEPTOR

The Committee is aware that the Kinetic Energy Interceptor 

(KEI) has completed research and development of certain technologies and that the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) is determining how to make the best use of the current technologies and 

their technical worth as well as the possible benefits of integrating 

these developments with other MDA programs. Therefore, the 

Committee has provided $80,000,000 to enable the continuation of 

the program and the leveraging of KEI products and expertise for 

early intercept capability and other missile defense applications. 

SEA-BASED X-BAND RADAR

The mission of the Sensors Program is to efficiently develop, acquire, test, field and operate an integrated sensor enterprise. However, the Committee is concerned that there are large unobligated 

and unexpended balances after fiscal year 2009, the first year of 

execution for the program element. The Committee is also concerned that GTD–04 has already slipped to the first quarter of fiscal year 2011. Therefore, the Committee has reduced the Sea-Based 

X-Band Radar request by $13,000,000. 

GROUND BASED MID-COURSE DEFENSE

The Committee is concerned with the uncertainty of the Missile 

Defense Agency’s (MDA) plans regarding Ground Based MidCourse Defense (GMD). MDA currently plans to maintain a 30 missile fleet instead of a 44 missile fleet as indicated in previous budget submissions. MDA estimates that emplacement of the 30 Ground 

Based Interceptors, plus testing and refurbishment, would actually 

require a total of 54 interceptors. With only 44 missiles currently 

under contract, the Committee is concerned that, without knowledge of the Department’s position on GMD in fiscal year 2011 and 

beyond, this could cause a break in the production line which 

would increase any funding requirements in future budget submissions. 

The Committee is concerned that MDA has not sufficiently addressed future requirements for GMD and therefore directs MDA 

to provide an unclassified report within 30 days of enactment of 

this Act that specifies what is needed in order to continue the industrial base. The report should include recommendations from the 

prime contractor and a discussion of MDA’s Analysis of AlterVerDate Nov 24 2008 05:35 Jul 25, 2009 Jkt 051229 PO 00000 Frm 00308 Fmt 6601 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\HR230.XXX HR230

DEFENSE HEALTH PROGRAM DIRECT (OR IN-HOUSE) CARE

The Department of Defense created the ‘‘efficiency wedge’’ to enable the Services to receive funding for increasing work load that 

returned to the Military Treatment Facilities (MTFs). The Committee is concerned that the Navy and Air Force are not properly 

executing the efficiency wedge reimbursement and, therefore, are 

not accurately budgeting for MTF costs. The Navy and Air Force 

only used a small portion of the efficiency wedge for the Direct 

Care Budget Activity Group (BAG) while disseminating the majority of the funding to other BAGs, research and development and 

military construction. This demonstrates a lack of use of the MTFs 

by the Navy and Air Force with more reliance on outside provided 

health care for their populations. The Committee directs the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs to review whether or 

not the efficiency wedge should be continued as a mechanism for 

reimbursement in fiscal year 2011 and beyond. The Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs should report on the findings 

of this review within 30 days of enactment of this Act. 

In addition, the Committee directs the Department of Defense to 

review budget execution data for all of the Defense Health Program 

accounts and to adequately reflect changes to the budget activities 

requested by the Services in future budget submission beginning in 

fiscal year 2011 and beyond. 

PRIVATE SECTOR CARE SHORTFALL

The Committee has been briefed on the funding shortfall that exists in the fiscal year 2009 Private Sector Care Budget Activity 

Group (BAG) for which the Department is using allowed operation 

and maintenance carryover and prior approval reprogramming authority to correct. The Committee has been made aware of a similar shortfall in fiscal year 2010. The shortfall is due to a workload 

increase for the Army, increased usage by Active Duty, Reserve 

Components and their dependents, in conjunction with the current 

economic situation and the lack of pharmaceutical rebates collected 

by the Department for federal pricing. The beneficiary population 

for TRICARE is currently 9.5 million beneficiaries while the budget 

is based on a 9.2 million beneficiary population. Therefore, the 

Committee has provided an additional $1,281,716,000 to the Private Sector Care BAG to help alleviate the shortfall in anticipation 

of the Department collecting the $1,000,000,000 in rebates that are 

currently owed. The Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to 

report to the congressional defense committees by August 30, 2009, 

on the status of additional rebates that have been collected. 

CARRYOVER

The Committee has provided two percent carryover for operation 

and maintenance funding for fiscal year 2010 and directs the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs to submit a detailed 

spend plan for fiscal year 2009 designated carryover funds to the 

congressional defense committees 30 days after enactment of this 

Act. Given the complex nature of the Defense Health Program, the 

Committee expects the Department of Defense and the Office of 

Management and Budget to be fiscally responsible in budgeting for 


wwoods2 on DSK1DXX6B1PROD with REPORTS
308 

the Defense Health Program and coordinate required justification 

material submitted to Congress. 

TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY AND PSYCHOLOGICAL HEALTH

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and psychological health issues 

have emerged as a significant cause of death to the warfighters in 

Iraq and Afghanistan. Whether mild, moderate or severe brain injury, the level of assessment and standard of care provided to the 

warfighter is in need of enhancement. Diagnosis, treatment, and 

rehabilitation must be at a level to ensure the best possible outcome. To this end, the bill includes $500,000,000, which is 

$127,800,000 above the budget request, to address all levels of 

brain injury and psychological health issues that servicemembers 

and their families experience. 

The Department provides specialized treatment and rehabilitation for brain injured troops, but much more is needed. The Department is expected to continue to provide the necessary care and 

treatment to servicemembers and their families. The vast majority 

of disabled troops will ultimately return to their home communities, which may be far removed from specialized centers. Therefore, the identification of local services is crucial to an appropriate 

rehabilitation plan. The Department of Defense Military Centers 

and the Department of Veterans Affairs should coordinate with civilian centers to guarantee that optimal treatments and assistance 

are available throughout the country. 

The Committee is aware of gaps within TBI and psychological 

treatment methods that need to be addressed. The Department is 

expected to continue working with the Department of Veterans Affairs, Department of Health and Human Services, academia and industry to focus on the research and treatment necessary to address 

the gaps that have been identified. 

An area of particular interest is the provision of appropriate and 

accessible counseling to servicemembers and their families who live 

in locations that are not close to military treatment facilities, other 

Military Health System health facilities or TRICARE providers. 

Funding provided in this bill is also to be used for the development 

and operation of the Defense Center of Excellance (DCoE) and the 

various centers, programs and initiatives that fall within its purview and resources to support the service medical departments as 

they continue to build and expand their TBI and psychological 

health capacity through initiatives and supportive programs. Other 

initiatives, such as telehealth, clinical standards supporting TBI 

and psychological health, and training and education outreach 

should also be included. 

Funding has also been provided to continue medical research and 

development on TBI and psychological health. The following research topics are recommended for consideration under this program: therapeutic drug discovery; optical imaging of blood flow; 

headache disorders; research into neural prothesis; studies of mental health disorders and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) to 

include neuropsychiatric studies, biochemical mechanisms that underlie human emotional reactions to combat stress and resulting 

clinical disorders, metrics for mental health assessment and methods to evaluate and improve PTSD rehabilitation efforts; studies of 


wwoods2 on DSK1DXX6B1PROD with REPORTS
309 

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) including basic research on neural 

injury treatments, cell replacement and regrowth strategies, specific therapies to prevent and reverse spinal cord and other neurotraumatic damage, pharmaceutical interventions to stimulate neural circuits, ‘‘activity-based’’ physical therapy, and extended rehabilitation focused on impairments in vision and cognitive functioning; clinical research of blast-related cell damage and the resulting effects on neurological response; 3D models of IED blast 

waves to develop equipment to mitigate injury to service members; 

a fully automated, self contained, disposable chip to diagnose TBI 

at the point of onset; DA–EEG assessment and MRI quantization 

to allow an accurate assessment of TBI; computational approaches 

to integrate global transcriptomics and proteomics information to 

indentify the biological networks altered following TBI; studies of 

PTSD and/or TBI including basic research in neurorehabilitation, 

the integration of informatics, and advanced computational research to analyze brain tissue and activities, the use of advanced 

neuroimaging, behavioral and genetic information to develop biomarkers, diagnostics, and treatments for semi-acute and chronic injury stages. Funding provided for research and development shall 

incorporate all aspects of research in the areas of TBI and psychological health by conducting basic science and translational research for the purposes of understanding the etiology, developing 

preventive interventions and new treatments, and evaluating the 

outcomes to arrive at best-practice solutions. This requirement includes incorporating training, combat theater operations, post deployment evidence-based preventive and early intervention measures, practices, or procedures to reduce the likelihood that personnel in combat will develop PTSD or other stress-related conditions or sustain traumatic brain injuries. 

TRAVEL EXPENSES

The Committee is aware that from October 1, 2008, through 

June 30, 2009, the Defense Center of Excellence for Psychological 

Health and Traumatic Brain Injury recorded travel expenses of 

$345,474.68. The Committee is concerned at the amount of funding 

from the Defense Health Program, operation and maintenance account that has been spent in only nine months and that over 

$100,000 was spent from May 20, 2009, to June 30, 2009. With significant known shortfalls in the Defense Health Program, the Committee directs the Office of the Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs to curtail unnecessary and extraneous travel and events. The 

Committee also directs Health Affairs to justify the travel in a report to the congressional defense committees on the dates, location 

and reason for travel within 30 days of the enactment of this Act. 

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE ELECTRONIC HEALTH RECORD AND

ENTERPRISE ARCHITECTURE APPROACH

The fiscal year 2010 budget includes $1,584,700,000 for information management and information technology. The Department has 

been involved in development of an electronic health care record 

(EHR) in conjunction with the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) 

since January 2009 and has agreed upon a service oriented architecture (SOA) approach that is adaptive to the changing world of 


wwoods2 on DSK1DXX6B1PROD with REPORTS
310 

health care and has inclusive interoperability between the two 

agencies. A blueprint for the SOA was finalized at the end of May 

2009 and submitted to the Office of the Secretary of Defense, 

Comptroller for review and funding analysis on June 12, 2009. It 

is the Committee’s understanding that the additional funding needed to accelerate completion and deployment of the SOA in 28 

months, by February 2011, is $712,500,000 for fiscal year 2010 and 

$441,700,000 for fiscal year 2011. 

The Department of Health and Human Services was provided 

funding in the stimulus package for electronic health care record 

improvement across the civilian sector. The Committee is concerned that the Department of Defense may now lag behind the civilian entities and its ability to share electronic information with 

the VA. The Committee also understands that the Under Secretary 

of Defense, Comptroller is currently reviewing internally what 

funds may be available to alleviate the unfunded requirement in 

order to accelerate deployment of the system. Therefore, the Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to report to the Committees 

on Appropriations of the House of Representatives and the Senate 

by September 14, 2009, on the status of availability of funding from 

programs within the Department of Defense. 

GUIDANCE FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE FORCE (2010–2015)

The fiscal year 2010 budget submission included $372,200,000 for 

traumatic brain injury, psychological health, eye injury, prosthetics, and other battlefield injuries research. The Committee has 

supported these types of research since 2007 and is encouraged 

that the Department has for the first time included funding for this 

type of research. The Committee urges the Department to utilize 

the established congressional directed medical research program 

and to work with the U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel 

Command in finding the most efficient way of utilizing the unique 

and military relevant research available. 

SPINAL CORD INJURY MEDICAL RESEARCH AND TREATMENT

Spinal cord injuries are one of the many serious wounds resulting from conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan that require many levels 

of research and treatment. Significant funding has been provided 

for research and treatment for neuro-traumatic wounds. However, 

given the complexity of these types of injuries and the steep learning curve associated with establishing effective treatment regimes, 

there is much more to be done. 

For the coming years, research into regenerating damaged spinal 

cords, arthritis research, and improving rehabilitation therapies offers real promise for enhancing the long-term care of wounded soldiers. Therefore, the Committee provides $15,000,000 to continue a 

competitive, peer-reviewed spinal cord injury research and treatment program. The Secretary of Defense is directed to submit a report to the congressional defense committees not later than 120 

days after enactment of this Act on how these funds are to be allocated. 


wwoods2 on DSK1DXX6B1PROD with REPORTS
311 

PEER-REVIEWED LUNG CANCER RESEARCH

The Committee has included $15,000,000 for peer-reviewed lung 

cancer research. Lung cancer, continues to be the most lethal of all 

cancers, taking more lives annually than all other major cancers 

combined. The five year survival rate is only 15 percent and a 

major contributor is that 70 percent of the diagnoses are late stage. 

Furthermore, military personnel have increased exposure to lung 

cancer carcinogens and are thus more susceptible to lung cancer 

than the general population. These funds, in conjunction with the 

funds provided in fiscal year 2009, are primarily for an early detection program for military beneficiaries. It is expected that this 

early detection regimen will be initially implemented in Military 

Medical Treatment facilities in the National Capital Region. 

CENTERS OF EXCELLENCE AT WRAMC/WRNMMC

The Committee includes a total of $40,000,000 for the following 

Centers of Excellence at the current Walter Reed Army Medical 

Center: Breast Care, Gynecologic, Prostate, Pain and Neuroscience, 

and Integrated Cardiac Health (Wellness). These Centers are in 

the forefront of the advancement of modern medical care. 

It is encouraging that the Department has recognized the importance of these centers to the welfare of our servicemembers and 

their families and has included them in the construction plans for 

the new Walter Reed National Military Medical Center and provided a portion of funding in the fiscal year 2010 budget submission. However, the Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to 

include full funding for these centers beginning with the fiscal year 

2011 budget submission. 

PEER-REVIEWED CANCER RESEARCH PROGRAM

The Committee provides $20,000,000 for a peer-reviewed cancer 

research program that would research cancers not addressed in the 

breast, prostate, lung and ovarian cancer research programs currently executed by the Department of Defense, and specifically the 

U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command (USAMRMC). 

The funds provided are directed to be used to conduct research 

in the following areas: melanoma and other skin cancers, pediatric 

brain tumors within the field of childhood cancer research, genetic 

cancer research and genomic medicine, kidney cancer, blood cancer, 

colorectal cancer, Listeria Vaccine for infectious disease and cancer, 

and radiation protection utilizing nanotechnology. 

The funds provided under the Peer-Reviewed Cancer Research 

Program shall be used only for the purposes listed above. The Department of Defense is directed to provide a report by February 8, 

2010, to the congressional defense committees on the status of the 

peer-reviewed cancer research program as to the relevance of this 

type of research for servicemembers and their families. 

VISION RESEARCH

The Committee commends the Department on including operation and maintenance funding for the Vision Center of Excellence 

however, the Department did not specifically identify any funding 

for vision research and development to continue assessing new 


wwoods2 on DSK1DXX6B1PROD with REPORTS
312 

technologies and therapies to address the ocular issues of 

servicemembers. Current research targets the causes, effects, and 

treatment of eye damage and diseases that, despite their different 

mechanisms and pathogenesis, all have a common end result: degeneration of the critical components of the eye and impairment or 

loss of vision. In order to implement therapeutic strategies to prevent or treat visual problems common to combat soldiers, the Army 

needs to develop and validate compounds and strategies. Therefore, 

the Committee provides $5,000,000 for vision research and directs 

the Army to target the various causes, effects and treatment of visual injury resulting from exposures to the elements during combat 

operations, and damage from explosive devices. This type of research will ultimately be used to ensure and sustain combat readiness. 

JOINT PATHOLOGY CENTER

Section 722 of the National Defense Authorization Act of 2008 

(Public Law 110–181) directs the Department of Defense to continue maintenance and modernization of the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology Tissue Repository and to utilize the Repository 

for conducting activities in support of the Joint Pathology Center 

established in the same Act. The Committee is aware that in 2007 

the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences commissioned an assessment of the Repository that resulted in specific recommendations for modernizing the Repository by improving the 

quality and accessibility of the collections contained therein. The 

Committee directs that within 90 days of enactment of this Act, the 

Secretary of Defense shall report to the congressional defense committees on the status of implementation of those recommendations. 

PEER-REVIEWED NEUROTOXIN EXPOSURE TREATMENT PARKINSON’S

RESEARCH PROGRAM

The United States Army Medical Research and Materiel Command (USAMRMC) is advancing research in investigating the underlying biologic mechanisms and therapeutic interventions of 

neuro-degenerative effects caused by deployment, environmental 

and occupational exposures. Therefore, $25,000,000 is recommended for the continuation of this vital research and other 

neurological disorders through collaborative work between the military, a non-profit organization and an academic laboratory with 

distinguished scientific credentials in this field. 

MEDICAL CARE IN THE NATIONAL CAPITAL REGION

The Committee has expressed concerns over whether the current 

approach to the replacement hospitals at both the new Walter Reed 

National Military Medical Center (WRNMMC) and Fort Belvoir 

will result in ‘‘world class’’ hospitals, but even more so will result 

in a ‘‘world class’’ medical care system in the National Capital Region. At present there are 439,000 beneficiaries in the region and 

the two major Military Medical Centers in the area, Walter Reed 

Army Medical Center and the National Naval Medical Center, are 

the ‘‘flagship’’ hospitals for their respective services. 


wwoods2 on DSK1DXX6B1PROD with REPORTS
313 

The Committee has outlined concerns about the excessive cost 

growth for the two new facilities, which has increased from 

$835,000,000 to $2,400,000,000, the inadequate parking at the new 

WRNMMC, ingress and egress challenges at both facilities, and the 

transition of the workforce, patients, and equipment from the current facilities to the new hospitals. These are a few of the issues 

that currently remain and must be addressed. The Joint Task 

Force National Capital Region Medical established on September 

14, 2007, has worked diligently to make up for a lack of adequate 

prior planning. However the Committee still believes these projects 

are primarily schedule driven in order to meet the September 15, 

2011 date and that quality control measures to ensure minimal accreditation and optimal configuration are being neglected. 

The Committee recently received the congressionally mandated 

independent review of the design plans for the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center and the Fort Belvoir Community 

Hospital titled ‘‘Achieving World Class’’. 

A review of the report indicates it is truly comprehensive and 

corroborates many of the concerns mentioned by the Committee. 

Furthermore, it goes much further and surfaces organizational, 

budgetary, and service related cultural challenges that must be 

overcome if medical care in the National Capital Region is to be 

truly ‘‘world class’’. 

The Committee awaits the Secretary of Defense’s 30 day assessment of the findings and recommendations of the independent review panel in accordance with provisions in the Public Law 110– 

417 and the plans for addressing the findings and recommendations. 

VACCINE RESEARCH

The development of vaccines that can protect military personnel 

against exposure from infectious pathogens as a result of natural 

exposure or as a result of weaponized attacks continues to be a 

high priority research area for the Walter Reed Army Institute of 

Research (WRAIR). In order to enhance WRAIR’s capabilities, the 

Committee encourages collaborative efforts with institutes of higher learning that possess state-of-the-art laboratory equipment and 

containment facilities that will ensure the rapid application of basic 

research results and the development of vaccines necessary for the 

protection of force health. These collaborative efforts will ensure 

that WRAIR remains the premier biomedical and vaccine research 

and development organization within the Department of Defense. 

TRICARE OUTPATIENT PROSPECTIVE PAYMENT SYSTEM

The Committee is aware of concerns that the TRICARE Outpatient Prospective Payment System (OPPS) implemented this 

year include an appropriate transition period, especially for hospitals with a high volume of TRICARE patients. The Committee is 

aware that the Department made improvements to its initial plan 

based on input received during the vetting process but understands 

that there is still concern among high volume hospitals. Therefore, 

the Committee directs the Department to continue with multi-year 

phase-in adjustments to assist hospitals in transitioning to a fair 


wwoods2 on DSK1DXX6B1PROD with REPORTS
314 

reimbursement system, consistent with law, that will reimburse 

reasonable costs and permit an appropriate return on investment. 

UMBILICAL CORD BLOOD RESEARCH

Research has shown that cord blood transplantation can achieve 

unique and striking results in treating leukemia, lymphoma, and 

other cancerous blood diseases, immunodeficiency syndromes, bone 

marrow failure syndromes, sickle cell anemia, thalassemia and 

some inherited metabolic diseases. The Committee is aware of a 

pilot project underway at Womack Army Medical Center in Fayetteville, NC, in collaboration with the Carolinas Cord Blood Bank 

and the National Cord Blood Inventory, to create the nation’s first 

military collection site for cord blood. This initiative will increase 

the national cord blood inventory and enhance the national capacity to identify suitable transplant donors, particularly among minority communities. The Committee commends the Womack Army 

Medical Center and encourages the Army to consider extending 

this pilot to all of its obstetrical healthcare facilities.

This appropriation funds the Joint Improvised Explosive Device 

Defeat Organization (JIEDDO). 

The Committee recommends an appropriation of $364,550,000 for 

the Joint Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Organization. The 

recommendation is a decrease of $200,300,000 from the amount requested, and an increase of $364,550,000 from the amount appropriated in fiscal year 2009. 

The Committee is aware that JIEDDO has become a standing institution of the Department of Defense. To this effect, the Committee believes that sustaining costs, such as staff and infrastructure and enduring science and technology initiatives, should be 

funded in the budget. However, the Committee believes that this 

funding should be properly accounted for and should be given the 

same time limitations as traditional funding accounts. Therefore, 

funds provided for the Attack the Network line of operation are 

available for two years; funds provided for the Defeat the Device 

line of operation are available for three years; funds provided for 

the Train the Force line of operation are available for one year; and 

funds provided for the Staff and Infrastructure line of operation are 

available for one year. 

Furthermore, the Committee continues to direct JIEDDO to follow standard reprogramming procedures when transferring a cumulative amount of $20,000,000 or more between lines of operation.

TITLE VII 

RELATED AGENCIES 

NATIONAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE PROGRAMS 

The National Intelligence Program and the Military Intelligence 

Program budgets funded in the Department of Defense Appropriations Act consist primarily of resources for the Director of National 

Intelligence including the Intelligence Community Management 

staff, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), the Defense Intelligence Agency, the National Reconnaissance Office, the National 

Security Agency, the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, the 

intelligence services of the Departments of the Army, Navy, Air 

Force, and Marine Corps and the CIA Retirement and Disability 

fund. 

CLASSIFIED ANNEX

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

to fully comply with the recommendations and directions in the 

classified annex accompanying the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2010. As directed by House Resolution 35, the recommendations of the Select Intelligence Oversight Panel are incorporated as recommendations to the House Appropriations Committee, Subcommittee on Defense, in the accompanying classified 

annex.

THE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY’S BUSINESS TRANSFORMATION OFFICE

The Committee appreciates the progress the Business Transformation Office (BTO) has made in the last year to the Intelligence Community’s business systems and looks forward to continued progress to address these issues. The Committee has included 

a funding transfer of the Financial Improvement Group to the BTO 

and the Committee supports the efforts made by BTO in creating 

the May 2009 BTO strategy. The Committee is concerned that recent changes to place the BTO under the Chief Information Office 

may not result in the necessary level of emphasis and attention to 

these issues by senior management within the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and within the Intelligence Community. 

The Committee requests that the Director of National Intelligence 

review this recent change and take the necessary steps to ensure 

that BTO initiatives are successfully implemented. The Director of 

National Intelligence is directed to report to the Committee on the 

actions taken to ensure that these concerns are addressed. 

The Committee remains concerned that the Office of the Director 

of National Intelligence, the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, the Central Intelligence Agency, the National Security Agency, 

the Defense Intelligence Agency, and the National Reconnaissance 

Office cannot receive unqualified or ‘‘clean’’ financial audit opinions. This reality is even more concerning considering the Intelligence Community spends over a quarter billion dollars annually 

on ‘‘financial management,’’ which does not include other business 

systems and processes like procurement, human resources, or logistics. Therefore, within 90 days of enactment of this Act, the Committee directs the Director of National Intelligence to submit a report that: 1) addresses the acquisition challenges facing the Business Transformation Office; 2) explains where the most efficient 


wwoods2 on DSK1DXX6B1PROD with REPORTS
319 

and secure place to store the Community’s business data will be for 

the foreseeable future; and 3) review the process for hiring highly 

qualified experts and provide recommendations that streamline the 

current bureaucratic process to one that allows the Director of the 

Business Transformation Office to efficiently build an effective 

staff. Finally, the report should provide a target date when all National Intelligence Program funds will achieve a sustainable unqualified audit opinion. 

INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY EDUCATION AND TRAINING STRATEGIC

DESIGN

The Committee continues to be concerned with the lack of a strategic plan when it comes to the Intelligence Community’s professional education curriculum and supporting training programs. The 

current patchwork of academies, courses, language training efforts 

and schools is the result of multiple programs and initiatives instead of a coherent strategy. The Director of National Intelligence 

needs to benchmark successful programs like the Department of 

Defense’s National Defense University and develop an appropriate 

educational and professional development strategy for the Intelligence Community that creates an innovative and competitive 21st 

century professional intelligence workforce. The Committee would 

like to see steps taken to establish the Intelligence Community’s 

cap-stone school in a manner that takes best advantage of opportunities for learning synergies and a transformative learning environment with other national security students. Also, the Committee 

directs that steps be taken to evolve the National Defense Intelligence College to a fee-for-service program so that both Congress 

and the executive branch can be assured that there is still a true 

demand for the product being provided. 

HUMAN LANGUAGE TECHNOLOGY

The Committee directs the Director of National Intelligence to 

submit to the congressional intelligence committees within 120 

days of enactment of this Act, a report on the status of Human 

Language Technology (HLT) within the Intelligence Community. 

The report shall identify an intelligence community executive agent 

responsible for the coordination of research, development, and implementation of HLT initiatives, identify current HLT capabilities 

and their return on investment, project future HLT requirements, 

and describe efforts to implement community licensing.

TITLE IX 

OVERSEAS DEPLOYMENTS AND OTHER ACTIVITIES 

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

In title IX the Committee recommends total new appropriations of $128,246,985,000 in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere. A detailed 

review of the Committee’s recommendations for programs funded in 

this title is provided in the following pages. 

OVERSEAS CONTINGENCY OPERATIONS TRANSFER FUND

The Committee has reduced the Service’s Overseas Contingency 

Operations request for operation and maintenance funding by 20 

percent and has added an equal amount to the Overseas Contingency Operations Transfer Fund (OCOTF). The nature of military 

action in Operations Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom is expected to change significantly in fiscal year 2010. Therefore, the 

Services cannot accurately budget for these operations. The 

OCOTF account provides flexibility to transfer funds to the needed 

appropriation account once costs are known. The OCOTF account 

also carries the protection that these funds cannot be used to correct poor base budget decisions, such as underfunding military personnel pay accounts. 

CLASSIFIED ANNEX

The Committee’s recommendations for intelligence activities are 

published in a separate and detailed classified annex. The intelligence community, Department of Defense and other organizations 

are expected to fully comply with the recommendations and directions in the classified annex accompanying this Act. 

REPORTING REQUIREMENTS

The Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a report to the congressional defense committees within 30 days of enactment of this Act on the allocation of the funds within the accounts listed in this title. The Secretary shall submit updated reports 30 days after the end of each fiscal quarter until funds listed 

in this title are no longer available for obligation. The Committee 

directs that these reports shall include: a detailed accounting of obligations and expenditures of appropriations provided in this title 

by program and subactivity group for the continuation of military 

operations in Iraq and Afghanistan and a listing of equipment procured using funds provided in this title. The Committee expects 

that, in order to meet unanticipated requirements, the Department 

of Defense may need to transfer funds within these appropriations 

accounts for purposes other than those specified in this report. The 

Committee directs the Department of Defense to follow normal 


wwoods2 on DSK1DXX6B1PROD with REPORTS
330 

prior approval reprogramming procedures should it be necessary to 

transfer funding between different appropriations accounts in this 

title. 

Additionally, the Committee directs that the Department continue to report incremental contingency operations costs for Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom on a monthly basis in the Cost of War Execution report as required by Department of Defense Financial Management Regulation, Chapter 23, 

Volume 12. The Department is encouraged to do supplementary reporting via the Contingency Operations Status of Funds report, but 

shall not terminate or replace the Cost of War Execution report. 

MILITARY PERSONNEL 

The Committee recommends an additional appropriation of 

$16,224,549,000 for Military Personnel. 

To more accurately reflect the significant Military Personnel 

costs of U.S. Overseas Contingency Operations, the Committee recommendation has transferred some funding from title I of this Act 

into title IX. The Committee recommends a transfer of $56,383,000 

in Special Pays for Military Personnel, Army; $28,116,000 in Special Pays for Military Personnel, Navy; $34,748,000 in Special Pays 

for Military Personnel, Marine Corps; and $78,961,000 in Special 

Pays for Military Personnel, Air Force. In addition, the Committee 

recommends an undistributed transfer of $1,390,000,000 for Military Personnel, Army; $419,000,000 for Military Personnel, Navy; 

$292,000,000 for Military Personnel, Marine Corp; and 

$331,000,000 for Military Personnel, Air Force. 

The Committee’s recommendations for each military personnel 

account are shown below:

PROGRESS IN AFGHANISTAN

The Committee welcomes the administration’s decision to refocus 

U.S. military, diplomatic and development efforts on Afghanistan 

after six years of conflict in Iraq. However, the Committee is concerned about the prospects for an open-ended U.S. commitment to 

bring stability to a country that has a decades-long history of successfully rebuffing foreign military intervention and attempts to influence internal politics. To help ensure that U.S. operations in Afghanistan remain focused, Congress requires the administration to 

submit a report every 180 days outlining the U.S. security, governance, development, counter-narcotics and regional strategy in Afghanistan, providing a detailed update on progress on these elements of the U.S. strategy, and performance indicators for measuring the results of our efforts. The Committee closely reviews the 

‘‘Report on Progress toward Security and Stability in Afghanistan’’, 

required by section 1230 of the 2008 National Defense Authorization Act (Public Law 110–181), and finds it an extremely useful 

oversight tool, particularly when delivered on time. However, the 

Committee is concerned that absent from this report is a discussion 

of how much time and resources the United States will commit in 

Afghanistan if security and stability remain out of reach, despite 

incremental success toward achieving elements of the strategy the 

administration has set forward. Accordingly, the Committee directs 

the Secretary, in consultation with the National Security Advisor, 

to include in the next report submitted in accordance with section 

1230 of Public Law 110–181 an assessment of the overall prospects 

for lasting stability in Afghanistan given the accomplishments and 

failures of the reporting period, the major impediments toward success encountered during the reporting period, and an estimation of 

the time table for assessing success in Afghanistan given developments during the reporting period. 

COMMANDER’S EMERGENCY RESPONSE PROGRAM

The Committee has provided $1,300,000,000 for the Commander’s Emergency Response Program (CERP) in fiscal year 

2010, a reduction of $200,000,000 below the request. Pursuant to 

section 1212 of the House-passed National Defense Authorization 

Act for Fiscal Year 2010 (H.R. 2647), additional funds are not authorized. Of the funds provided for CERP, the Committee withholds $500,000,000 pending completion and submission of the report described below. 

While the Committee understands the value of CERP for our 

combatant commanders, it is deeply concerned that CERP has 

grown from an incisive counter-insurgency tool to an alternative 

U.S. development program with few limits and little management. 

The U.S. Army and U.S. Central Command have failed to justify 

ever-growing CERP budget requests or to execute proper management or oversight of those funds. Recent reports indicate intense 

pressure on Provincial Reconstruction Teams and combatant commanders to ‘‘rush to spend’’ hundreds of millions of dollars in the 

last quarter of the fiscal year. They have submitted a barrage of 

multi-million dollar CERP proposals that seem designed primarily 

to ensure that that all available funds are spent. The Committee 


wwoods2 on DSK1DXX6B1PROD with REPORTS
350 

is particularly concerned that this practice could put the Department of Defense in conflict with section 8004 of the fiscal year 2009 

Defense Appropriations Act, which prohibits more than 20 percent 

of the appropriations in that Act limited for obligation in the current fiscal year from being obligated in the last two months of the 

year. 

Given these concerns, the Committee believes a fundamental review of CERP is now urgently required. Therefore, the Committee 

directs the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the National 

Security Advisor, to conduct a thorough review of CERP, its purpose, use and scope, and to report to the congressional defense committees not later than 90 days after enactment of this Act. That review and report should include, at a minimum: a review and explanation of the process by which CERP budget requests are generated and justified; a review of the practice of obligating a significant amount of CERP funding in the last quarter of the fiscal year; 

a review of existing management and oversight of CERP funds by 

the Department of the Army and CENTCOM that includes an assessment of whether there are sufficient, appropriately-trained personnel to oversee this program at both the department level and 

in the area of operations; a separate assessment for Iraq and Afghanistan of the goals, purpose and expected requirement for 

CERP funds in the coming year; a separate assessment for Iraq 

and Afghanistan of the appropriate use of CERP funds, including 

an assessment of the appropriate mix of infrastructure projects and 

smaller-scale humanitarian projects; and a review of the appropriate relationship between projects funded with CERP and development projects carried out by the U.S. Agency for International 

Development. 

COMMANDER EMERGENCY RESPONSE PROGRAM

MANAGEMENT AND OVERSIGHT

The Committee is concerned that the Department’s plan to significantly increase the use of CERP in Afghanistan does not yet include an increase in the number of personnel qualified to conduct 

proper oversight and management of those funds. The Committee 

understands that Joint Contracting Command has requested 28 additional contracting officers, though these are not specifically dedicated to CERP. The Committee also understands that three additional Joint Manning Document billets to exclusively manage 

CERP have been requested and that U.S. Forces—Afghanistan 

(USFOR–A) has a pending Request for Forces seeking additional 

warranted Contracting Officers and Civil Affairs specialists specifically to oversee CERP projects. The Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to report to the congressional defense committees 

within 30 days of enactment of this Act on the status of these requests and the number of additional personnel being deployed to 

Afghanistan specifically in support of CERP. 

COALITION SUPPORT FUNDS

The Committee has provided $1,540,000,000 for Coalition Support Funds (CSF) for fiscal year 2010, $60,000,000 below the requested level. This funding level takes into account the current 


wwoods2 on DSK1DXX6B1PROD with REPORTS
351 

$120,000,000 monthly average of CSF reimbursements to Pakistan 

and provides an additional $100,000,000 for CSF payments to other 

key cooperating nations. While the Committee strongly supports 

the anti-Taliban operations begun by Pakistani security forces in 

Spring 2009, the Committee is concerned about the impact of those 

operations on the size of reimbursements requested by the Government of Pakistan under CSF. While the Committee supports the 

use of CSF to reimburse Pakistan for military operations conducted 

in support of U.S. operations in Afghanistan, the Committee is concerned that CSF will be used to fund Pakistani security operations 

undertaken in response to the existential threat posed to that government by indigenous Taliban and other insurgent forces. The 

Committee urges U.S. Central Command and the Office of the Defense Representative, Pakistan (ODRP) to work with the Government of Pakistan to establish clear guidelines for the use of CSF 

that avoid the use of American taxpayers’ dollars to fund Pakistan’s internal counterinsurgency campaign. 

GUANTANAMO BAY NAVAL BASE

The Committee has not provided the $100,000,000 requested to 

support the relocation and disposition of individuals detained at 

the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base. The Department of Defense is 

still awaiting a decision by the Administration on the future of the 

detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, and these funds are not 

needed at this time. 

PROCUREMENT 

The Committee recommends an additional appropriation of 

$20,384,128,000 for Procurement. The Committee’s recommendations for each procurement account are shown below:

JAVELIN MISSILE

The budget request proposed $140,979,000 for Javelin missiles. The Army received $109,327,000 in the Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2009 for the procurement of approximately 550 missiles. 

However the Committee notes that only 83 missiles were expended 

in combat operations in fiscal year 2008 and that only 40 missiles 

had been expended through mid-fiscal year 2009. Accordingly, the 

Committee recommends funding of $115,979,000 for Overseas Contingency Operations funding for Javelin missiles, a reduction of 

$25,000,000 below the request. 

TOW 2 MISSILE

The budget request included $59,200,000 for TOW 2 missiles. The Army received $317,584,000 in the Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2009, to fund the procurement of approximately 6,200 

missiles. However, the Committee understands that only 262 TOW 

2 missiles were expended in fiscal year 2008 in Iraq and Afghanistan combined, and that TOW 2 expenditures for fiscal year 2009 

are not expected to be significantly higher. Accordingly, the Committee recommends $34,200,000 in Overseas Contingency Operations funding for TOW 2 missiles, a reduction of $25,000,000 

below the request. 

SINGLE CHANNEL GROUND AND AIRBORNE RADIO SYSTEM (SINCGARS)

The budget request for Overseas Contingency Operations pro- posed funding of $128,180,000 for SINCGARS radios in support of 

combat operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. However, the requirement for additional SINCGARS radios remains vague as the Army 

adjusts requirements based on the decision by the Secretary of Defense to support 45 Army brigade combat teams instead of 48. Additionally, the Committee continues to have concerns that the 

Army may not be taking full advantage of advances in technology 

for tactical radios including greater compliance with Joint Tactical 

Radio System technology. Accordingly, the Committee recommends 

no funding for SINCGARS radios. 

FAMILY OF HEAVY TACTICAL VEHICLES (FHTV)

The budget request proposed $623,230,000 for the Family of 

Heavy Tactical Vehicles. This funding line includes heavy trucks 

ranging from Heavy Equipment Transporters to the Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Truck. The Committee strongly supports 

funding the trucks needed by units in the field and for necessary 

training. However, the Committee understands that the contract 

for the Heavy Equipment Transporter System (HETS) M1070 

Truck Tractor will be delayed until January 2011. Accordingly, the 

Committee recommends funding of $520,750,000, a reduction of 

$102,480,000 below the request, with no funding for HETS Truck 

Tractors. 

155MM LIGHTWEIGHT TOWED HOWITZER

The budget request proposed $54,000,000 for new 155mm Lightweight Towed Howitzers. The Committee notes that Congress provided $186,000,000 in the Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2009, 


wwoods2 on DSK1DXX6B1PROD with REPORTS
361 

$117,000,000 greater than the requested amount of $69,000,000. 

Since the Committee advance funded this request in the Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2009, the recommendation provides no 

funding for Overseas Contingency Operations, a reduction of 

$54,000,000. 

MOTOR TRANSPORT MODIFICATIONS

The budget request proposed $10,177,000 for motor transport 

modifications. The Committee notes that Congress provided 

$38,355,000 in the Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2009, 

$22,500,000 greater than the requested $15,855,000. Since the 

Committee advance funded this request in the Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2009, the recommendation provides no funding for 

Overseas Contingency Operations, a reduction of $10,177,000. 

NATIONAL GUARD AND RESERVE EQUIPMENT

The recommendation for the National Guard and Reserve Equipment Account is $500,000,000. Of that amount, $300,000,000 is for 

the Army National Guard; $50,000,000 for the Air National Guard; 

$80,000,000 for the Army Reserve; $25,000,000 for the Navy Reserve; $20,000,000 for the Marine Corps Reserve; and $25,000,000 

for the Air Force Reserve to meet urgent equipment needs that 

may arise this fiscal year. This funding will allow the Guard and 

reserve components to procure high priority equipment that will 

complement the combined State and Federal missions. 

MINE RESISTANT AMBUSH PROTECTED VEHICLE VIRTUAL TRAINER

The Committee provides $3,606,000,000 for the Mine Resistant 

Ambush Protected Vehicle (MRAP) Fund. Because of the large size 

and complexity created when operating an MRAP, special training 

is needed. The services offer a specific training course devoted to 

teaching servicemembers the necessities of MRAP operation prior 

to conducting missions in the new vehicle. Unfortunately, because 

many of the MRAP Virtual Trainers (MRAP–VVT) have limited 

availability, many pre-deploying National Guard units have little 

opportunity to train on this equipment prior to movement overseas. 

Therefore, of the funds provided, $25,000,000 shall be provided for 

Mine Resistant Ambush Protected Vehicle Virtual Trainers. 

RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT, TEST AND EVALUATION 

The Committee recommends an additional appropriation of $241,354,000 for Research, Development, Test and Evaluation. The 

Committee’s recommendations for each research, development, test 

and evaluation account are shown below:

CONSTITUTIONAL AUTHORITY

Clause 3(d)(1) of rule XIII of the Rules of the House of Representatives states that: 

Each report of a committee on a bill or joint resolution 

of a public character, shall include a statement citing the 

specific powers granted to the Congress in the Constitution 

to enact the law proposed by the bill or joint resolution. 

The Committee on Appropriations bases its authority to report 

this legislation from Clause 7 of Section 9 of Article I of the Constitution of the United States of America which states: 


wwoods2 on DSK1DXX6B1PROD with REPORTS
387 

No money shall be drawn from the Treasury but in consequence of Appropriations made by law . . . 

Appropriations contained in this Act are made pursuant to this 

specific power granted by the Constitution. 

COMPARISON WITH THE BUDGET RESOLUTION

Clause 3(c)(2) of rule XIII of the Rules of the House of Representatives requires an explanation of compliance with section 

308(a)(1)(A) of the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control 

Act of 1974 (Public Law 93–344), as amended, which requires that 

the report accompanying a bill providing new budget authority contain a statement detailing how that authority compares with the 

reports submitted under section 302 of the Act for the most recently agreed to concurrent resolution on the budget for the fiscal 

year from the Committee’s section 302(a) allocation. This information follows:

1 Includes outlays from prior year budget authority. 

NOTE.—The amounts in this bill are technically in excess of the subcommittee section 302(b) allocation. However, section 423(a)(1) of 

the Concurrent Resolution on the Budget for fiscal year 2010 authorizes an increase to the Committee’s section 302(a) allocation to reflect 

funding in the reported bill for overseas deployments and other activities. After the bill is reported to the House, the Chairman of the Committee on the Budget will provide an increased section 302(a) allocation consistent with the funding provided in the bill. That new allocation 

will eliminate the technical difference prior to Floor consideration. 

FIVE-YEAR OUTLAY PROJECTIONS

In compliance with section 308(a)(1)(B) of the Congressional 

Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974 (Public Law 93–

DISCLOSURE OF EARMARKS AND CONGRESSIONALLY DIRECTED

SPENDING ITEMS

The Committee has taken unprecedented action to increase 

transparency and reduce funding for earmarks. In fiscal year 2009, 

this bill reduced earmarks by 42 percent from the fiscal year 2006 

level. The bill continues to reduce earmarks in fiscal year 2010. For 

fiscal year 2010, earmarks are expected to be 50 percent below the 

fiscal year 2006 level. It should also be noted that under the policies adopted by the Committee, member earmarks will no longer be 

provided to for-profit entities as a functional equivalent of no-bid 

contracts. In cases where the Committee is funding an earmark 

designated by a member for a for-profit entity, the Committee includes legislative language requiring the Executive Branch to nonetheless issue a request for proposal that gives other entities an opportunity to apply and requires the agency to evaluate all bids received and make a decision based on merit. This gives the original 

designee an opportunity to be brought to the attention of the Department, but with the possibility that an alternative entity may 

be selected.

The following table is submitted in compliance with clause 9 of 

rule XXI, and lists the congressional earmarks (as defined in paragraph (e) of clause 9) contained in the bill or in this report. Neither 

the bill nor the report contain any limited tax benefits of limited

ADDITIONAL VIEWS OF REPRESENTATIVES JERRY LEWIS 

AND C.W. BILL YOUNG ON THE FISCAL YEAR 2010 DEFENSE APPROPRIATIONS BILL 

The fiscal year 2010 Defense Appropriations bill, as reported out 

of the Appropriations Committee is an example of the bipartisan 

work that this Committee is capable of producing. In the longstanding tradition of the Defense Subcommittee, the Chairman and 

Ranking Member worked together as true partners to produce a 

bill that the Committee can be proud of. Chairman Murtha fully 

included the minority in the development of these funding recommendations. He treated us fairly, listened to our concerns, and 

found acceptable solutions when needed. We greatly appreciate his 

comity and bipartisanship, and strongly support the passage of this 

bill. 

The President’s fiscal year 2010 request for Defense funding, 

however, was completely inadequate. While other non-defense 

budgets received an average increase of 12 percent, some reaching 

as high as 33 percent, the Defense increase was barely 4.6 percent—and 1.5 percent of that was merely a shift of supplemental 

funding to the base budget. We feel that the President should not 

be shortchanging the troops during a time of war, especially as he 

asks for as many as 22,000 additional soldiers to help relieve the 

stress created by the renewed efforts in Afghanistan. This committee has long been a leading supporter of our military and remains committed to providing our men and women in uniform the 

resources they need to do the job our country is asking of them. 

Unfortunately, however, this bill, while providing $508 billion for 

the Department of Defense, is $3.5 billion below the amount requested by the President. While we must be fiscally responsible, we 

also must provide for and take care of our troops and their families—especially in a time of war. 

We believe Chairman Murtha has indeed done the best he could 

with what little resources he had. Despite the reduced allocation, 

the bill provides funding for a 3.4 percent military pay raise; it 

funds $1.3 billion in unexpected Defense Health Program shortfalls 

without increasing fees or premiums; and continues our investment 

in the National Guard and Reserve with an additional $500 million. The bill also invests in the future of the Department, while 

addressing immediate needs. It accelerates the Navy’s plan for a 

313 ship fleet with an additional Littoral Combat Ship and Joint 

High Speed Vessel; and advances our investment in aircraft across 

the Department with advance procurement for 12 F–22s and 30 F– 

18s, and full funding for 3 C–17s, 28 F–35s and 9 additional F–18s 

above the request.

Unfortunately, the bipartisan nature that marked our interactions at the subcommittee and full committee levels in developing 

this bill, are likely to come to a sudden end during Rules Committee consideration. While we have little hope of seeing a return 

to regular order on the House floor this legislative season, we continue to urge our colleagues in the majority to allow the democratic 

process to proceed past committee markup. The practice of imposing closed or ‘‘structured’’ rules upon our bills once they reach the 

House floor denies Members of both parties who are not on the Appropriations Committee their due opportunity, and really their responsibility, to debate the bill and represent the interests of their 

constituents. There is no reason we should not consider the Defense bill, a bill with strong bipartisan support, under an open rule 

with an acceptable unanimous consent agreement in a day or two. 

GUANTANAMO BAY

This January, the President signed the executive order to close 

the Guantanamo Bay Detention Facility. More than five months 

later there is still no evidence of a plan to carry out this order, and 

there has been no consultation with the Congress. In fact, just this 

week the Administration announced that they are extending their 

Detention Policy Task Force for another six months, because they 

were not able to sort it all out within the President’s timetable. Despite these difficulties, the suspected plotter of the 1998 Embassy 

bombings in Africa has already been moved to New York to face 

trial. The Government of Palau has announced that they will accept some Uighur detainees, and press accounts linked that action 

to a $200 million payoff by the U.S. Government that the State Department will not confirm or deny. Finally, four Uighur detainees 

have already been released to Bermuda. Congress and the American public found out about these actions and diplomatic efforts 

after the fact. 

And there is more—detainee transfers have also been made to 

Saudi Arabia, Chad, and Iraq. We have heard rumors about deals 

with Yemen, Italy, and Albania. All of this is being done without 

an assessment of the risks to American people at home and abroad, 

or an assessment of risk to our U.S. forces, especially since the detainees at Guantanamo include the perpetrators of some of the 

most horrific terrorist acts against Americans, including 9/11, the 

USS Cole bombing, and the Embassy bombings in Africa. 

Director Mueller of the FBI testified to Congress that bringing 

these detainees to the U.S. poses risks to national security, including providing financing, radicalizing others, and undertaking attacks in the U.S. Additionally, the Department of Defense has reported that at least 14 percent of former Guantanamo detainees 

have returned to terrorist activity. This Administration is ignoring 

or disregarding those risks, and they continue to stonewall the 

Congress. We need to stop the Administration from rushing to 

transfer or resettle detainees simply to fulfill a campaign promise.

We commend Chairman Murtha for the inclusion of Ranking 

Member Lewis’s Guantanamo language in the Managers Amendment. This language, which contains the same requirements in the 

Commerce/Justice/Science bill that prohibits release or permanent 

transfer of detainees to the U.S. and requires a risk assessment 

prior to any transfer for purposes of prosecution, and the language 

in the Interior bill that expands those restrictions to U.S. territories, has enjoyed bipartisanship support during the Fiscal Year 

2010 Appropriations Process. It ensures that the Administration 

cannot act unilaterally and ignore the concerns of the Congress on 

such an important matter. 

F–22

The bill, as approved by voice vote in the Subcommittee and Full 

Committee, includes $368.8 million for the advanced procurement 

of long lead items for 12 new F–22 aircraft. Despite the threat of 

a veto of any bill that includes additional F–22 funding from the 

President, we fully support buying additional F–22s—the most advanced fighter aircraft in the world. We understand that our current military engagements do not necessarily require such an advanced aircraft, but we also understand that future conflicts cannot 

be predicted with any certainty. Today’s enemy will not be tomorrow’s enemy. Further, future adversaries are not holding back on 

developing and procuring the most advance weapon systems they 

can . . . why should the United States? 

Despite pledges that the conclusion was risk-based, the Defense 

Department’s decision to stop F–22 production at 187 aircraft is as 

much about affordability as anything. They state that the future of 

Defense tactical aircraft is the F–35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF), and 

do not want to trade JSF funding for additional F–22s. While a 

perfectly capable aircraft, the JSF program remains in a developmental stage. In fact, a recent GAO report on the JSF highlighted 

that ‘‘an independent joint DOD cost estimating team identified a 

need for as much as $7.4 billion in additional funding for development through fiscal year 2005 and a three-year schedule extension. 

This would increase total system development costs to $51.8 billion—a 17 percent increase from the estimate from December 

2007—and delay completion of development to October 2016.’’ We 

should not stop production of the only fifth generation aircraft until 

we have at least finished development and are confident in the JSF 

abilities and reliability. 

In fact, Air Force leadership has repeatedly stated that stopping 

production of F–22s at 187 aircraft represents a medium to high 

risk level. For years the Air Force maintained that the minimum 

number of aircraft required to meet strategic national security 

goals was 381. That position, in part, cost the top civilian and military leaders of the Air Force their jobs. We believe those Air Force 

leaders had it right. We believe Chairman Murtha has it right. Additional F–22s are needed. Why would we jeopardize the safety and 

security of our nation simply over budget calculations? Of all the 

areas in the Federal budget that we should support, this is it!

CONCLUSION

This is a good bill, put together in the best example of bipartisanship. We appreciate being treated as true partners in the process. Despite the reduced allocation, Chairman Murtha did the best 

he could, with the resources he had. We strongly support the bill 

and encourage its quick passage through the traditional open 

amendment process. 

JERRY LEWIS.
