BACKGROUND

PURPOSE OF THE BILL

This bill makes appropriations for the military functions of the

Department of Defense as it prosecutes the war in Iraq, for domestic security functions of the Department of Homeland Security, for

foreign assistance to Jordan, Israel, and Turkey, and relief and reconstruction efforts in Iraq, and to continue to anti-terrorism efforts around the world. This bill also makes certain technical and

conforming corrections to Public Law 108–7.

HEARINGS

The Committee held a hearing on March 27, 2003 and heard testimony from Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and Secretary

of Homeland Security Tom Ridge and other representatives from

the Department of Defense.

SUMMARY OF THE BILL

On March 24, 2003, the President submitted a request for

$74,725,028,000 in new budget authority for programs under the

Department of Defense, Department of Homeland Security, Department of Justice, Department of State, Department of Transportation, Department of the Treasury, and the Legislative Branch.

The Committee recommends $76,711,609,000 in new budget authority.

COMMITTEE PRIORITIES

The primary goals of this bill are to fund the war on terrorism,

provide international relief and reconstruction assistance, and ensure the protection and security of American citizens here at home.

To achieve the first goal, the Committee is providing

$62,559,000,000 to prosecute the military operations in Iraq, including replenishing munitions that are likely to be expended,

maintaining critical manning levels, and maintaining air, ground,

and sea operations. To achieve the second goal, the Committee is

providing $7,850,820,000 to assist refugees or internally displaced

persons in Iraq, support key coalition partners in the conflict with

Iraq, and to support reconstruction of health services, sanitation,

transportation, and telecommunications in Iraq. To ensure the

third goal, the Committee is providing $4,676,000,000 to assist

State and local governments in terrorism preparedness, provide increased border and maritime security, and protect critical infrastructure.

2003 supplemental estimate ................................................................. ...........................

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 98,000,000

The Committee recommendation includes $98,000,000 for further

CHAPTER 2

SUBCOMMITTEE ON COMMERCE, JUSTICE, AND STATE, THE

JUDICIARY, AND RELATED AGENCIES

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

GENERAL ADMINISTRATION

COUNTERTERRORISM FUND

2003 appropriation to date .................................................................... $993,000

2003 supplemental estimate ................................................................. 500,000,000

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

The Committee recommends $500,000,000 for the

Counterterrorism Fund to cover extraordinary costs associated with

a terrorist threat or incident. This recommendation is identical to

the request and, when combined with current unobligated balances

and recoveries of $50,274,225, provides a total funding level of

$550,274,225 for terrorism response. These funds are a down payment on fiscal year 2004 requirements.

The Counterterrorism Fund was established in the 1995 Supplemental Appropriations Act after the bombing of the Alfred P.

Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, and is under the control and direction of the Attorney General. These funds may be

used to reimburse any Department of Justice organization for the

costs incurred from the reestablishment of an office or facility damaged or destroyed as a result of a domestic or international terrorist incident, and to cover extraordinary expenses necessary to
5

counter, investigate, or prosecute domestic or international acts of

terrorism.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation [FBI] has temporarily reassigned 650 agents from other divisions to the Counterterrorism Division to address the new priorities of the Bureau. The Committee

directs the FBI to immediately and permanently transfer those 650

agents to the Counterterrorism Division. Should additional personnel be required to meet the missions of the Counterterrorism

[CT] or Counterintelligence [CI] Divisions, the Committee directs

the FBI to transfer up to 2,118 personnel, including 824 agents and

1,294 support staff, to the CT or CI Divisions as needed, subject to

the requirements of section 605 of the Departments of Commerce,

Justice, and State, the Judiciary, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2003.

DEPARTMENT OF STATE

ADMINISTRATION OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS

DIPLOMATIC AND CONSULAR PROGRAMS

2003 appropriation to date .................................................................... $3,797,413,000

2003 supplemental estimate ................................................................. 101,420,000

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 93,420,000

The Committee recommends $93,420,000 for Diplomatic and

Consular Programs for expenses associated with the United States’

military campaign in Iraq. The recommendation is $8,000,000

below the supplemental budget request. Of this amount,

$15,600,000 is for medical services, including emergency medical

supplies, chemical and biological antidotes, anthrax and smallpox

vaccines, white powder evaluations, and medical training. Also of

this amount, $10,000,000 is for worldwide security upgrades to: (1)

increase the number of local guards; (2) procure chemical and biological countermeasures, including masks, suits, and detection

equipment; (3) support requirements relating to intelligence; (4) increase temporary duty assignment teams to posts; (5) purchase armored vehicles; and (6) enhance the security of the Department’s

domestic facilities. Also of this amount, $2,000,000 is for Consular

Affairs requirements relating to American citizen services and

$30,020,000 is for Machine Readable Visa [MRV] fee shortfalls.

Disruption of the border security program due to an MRV fee

shortfall must be avoided at all costs. The recommendation therefore includes language providing for the automatic transfer of funding from the main Diplomatic and Consular Programs account to

the account that funds the Border Security Program in the event

that the MRV fee shortfall exceeds the ‘‘backfill funding’’ requested

by the Department in this supplemental. Finally, within the total

amount provided for Diplomatic and Consular Programs,

$17,900,000 shall be available only for initial and secondary stage

setup and operating costs for re-opening the United States Embassy in Baghdad, Iraq, and $17,900,000 shall only be available for

diplomatic security programs associated with the re-opening of this

post, including temporary duty staffing, physical security, technical

security equipment, armored cars, and local guards.

EMBASSY SECURITY, CONSTRUCTION, AND MAINTENANCE

2003 appropriation to date .................................................................... $1,255,288,000

2003 supplemental estimate ................................................................. 20,000,000

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 82,000,000

The Committee recommends $82,000,000 for the overseas construction account. The recommendation is $62,000,000 above the

supplemental budget request. Of this amount, $20,000,000 is to

provide safe, secure, and functional temporary facilities for 200

United States Government personnel and 300 Iraqi local hires in

Baghdad, Iraq. The Department is directed to report to the Committees on Appropriations regarding the special security considerations and procedures associated with the hiring of Iraqi nationals

to work in United States diplomatic facilities in Baghdad, Iraq. The

Committee is aware that the Department of State has proposed a

cost-sharing arrangement so that other foreign affairs agencies

may contribute to the escalating cost of constructing and securing

United States diplomatic facilities. The Committee expects that all

agencies with personnel occupying facilities leased, acquired, or

constructed by the Department of State in Iraq will begin compensating the Department of State, according to the terms of the costsharing arrangement, in fiscal year 2005.

Also, of the amount provided under this heading, $10,000,000 is

for the Department to provide security enhancements to non-official facilities frequented by United States citizens overseas, with

particular emphasis on schools attended by the dependents of nonmilitary United States Government personnel. The Committee is

concerned by the more frequent targeting by terrorists of locations

that are not official United States facilities, but are tied to the

United States either symbolically or because of the activities they

accommodate, so-called ‘‘soft targets’’. The recommendation is consistent with prior Committee direction that the Department formulate a strategy for addressing the growing threat to soft targets.

EMERGENCIES IN THE DIPLOMATIC AND CONSULAR SERVICE

2003 appropriation to date .................................................................... $6,458,000

2003 supplemental estimate ................................................................. 65,708,000

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 40,000,000

The Committee recommends $40,000,000 for Emergencies in the

Diplomatic and Consular Service. The recommendation is

$25,700,000 below the supplemental budget request. Funds made

available under this heading will ensure that the Department of

State is able to fund the transportation costs and other associated

costs of evacuating United States Government employees, their

families, and private American citizens and to provide additional

services to American citizens abroad should the need arise. In addition, the Committee recommends language allowing the Department of State to be reimbursed by other agencies for costs associated with the evacuation of those agencies’ personnel from diplomatic posts. This will ensure that funds available to the Department for evacuations are continually replenished without the need

for additional supplemental funding.

RELATED AGENCY

BROADCASTING BOARD OF GOVERNORS

INTERNATIONAL BROADCASTING OPERATIONS

2003 appropriation to date .................................................................... $465,850,000

2003 supplemental estimate ................................................................. 30,500,000

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 62,000,000

The Committee recommends $62,000,000 for the Broadcasting

Board of Governors [BBG] to support the start-up costs of the Middle East Television Network [METN] and for the continuation of

radio broadcasting to Iraq. The Committee strongly supports the

Board’s efforts to expand its outreach to audiences in the Middle

East. There is prevalent satellite dish ownership in the Middle

East, and BBG has identified television as a particularly effective

means of communication with the people of this region. Public Law

108–7 provided $2,500,000 in seed funding for the METN. The supplemental recommendation supports the full cost of the first year

of this initiative.

CHAPTER 3

SUBCOMMITTEE ON DEFENSE

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

2003 appropriation to date ....................................................................$364,611,334,000

2003 supplemental estimate ................................................................. 62,381,500,000

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 62,381,500,000

The Committee recommends $62,381,500,000 for the Department

of Defense, as requested. Funds are recommended for: the conduct

of military operations related to Operation Iraqi Freedom, and continuing military operations related to Operation Enduring Freedom, Operation Noble Eagle and the Global War on Terrorism; pay

and allowances for Reserve and National Guard personnel called to

active duty; unforeseen military personnel costs; the procurement

of munitions and weapons; critical command, control, communications, and intelligence support; and coalition support. Recommendations for specific classified programs are addressed in the

classified annex to the Committee’s report.

The Committee recommendation to fund the amount requested

for defense requirements is made because of the importance that

the Committee places on supporting our troops and their war fighting requirements.

MILITARY PERSONNEL

Personnel Support.—The Committee strongly supports the members of our Armed Services and their families. In particular, the

Committee notes that those now deployed in current military operations, as well as the members of our National Guard and Reserve

who have been called to active duty, have been activated frequently

and for extended periods of time since September 11th. The Committee urges the Secretary of Defense to identify those hardships

experienced by service members and their families and propose

remedies to address those hardships. The Committee directs the
8

Secretary of Defense to provide a report to the Congressional Oversight Committees, no later than July 1, 2003, on how the Department can better support our deployed service members and their

families.

DEFENSE EMERGENCY RESPONSE FUND

2003 appropriation to date .................................................................... ...........................

2003 supplemental estimate ................................................................. $59,863,200,000

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 11,019,000,000

The Committee recommends $11,019,000,000 for Defense Emergency Response Fund. The recommendation is less than the request.

The President requested $59,863,200,000 to be made available in

the Defense Emergency Response Fund (DERF) to support Operation Iraqi Freedom and continuing operations in support of the

Global War on Terrorism. The Committee supports fully the men

and women fighting today and commends them for their efforts. In

recognition that their task is critically important and essential, the

Committee is recommending the full amount for this purpose, but

has appropriated $48,844,200,000 of the DERF request to specific

accounts in order to accelerate the distribution of these much needed funds to the Services.

The Committee understands that the Defense Department’s supplemental request for $63,381,500,000 reflects its best estimate for

its expected needs. The Committee recognizes that DOD requires

flexibility to manage the war effort because there are many unknowns in the conduct of combat operations and has provided the

Department with $11,019,000,000 for this purpose. The Committee

believes that this funding, in addition to expanded transfer authority, will provide the Department of Defense with the spending flexibility it needs to prosecute the war and provide the Services with

the funds they need to carry out their duties.

The Committee is pleased that the Department of Defense will

submit quarterly reports on the transfer of funds from the DERF

to specific appropriation accounts. This information is crucial to the

Congress to fully understand the needs of the Department and the

Services.

Iraq during Operation Iraqi Freedom, and restricts assistance to

Turkey should this happen. The Secretary of State is provided with

a national security interest waiver.

The Committee supports the request for Afghanistan for completion of infrastructure projects and contributions to the Afghan Government and multilateral political reform efforts. The Committee

expects significant resources to be made available to support national elections in Afghanistan in 2004, and recommends USAID

and State to utilize grants to nongovernmental organizations, in

lieu of contracts to for-profit institutions, to support these polls.

The Committee notes that the limitations and restrictions on assistance to the West Bank and Gaza contained in Public Law 108–

7 apply to in this Act. The Committee expects that funds be used

for ongoing programs and activities to foster political and legal reform.

The Committee supports the Middle East Partnership Initiative

(MEPI) and Muslim Outreach, and continues to encourage implementation of aggressive democracy, human rights, and media programs in that region and in other Muslim countries around the

humanitarian and relief activities relating to Iraq, and requests to

be informed once this reimbursement has occurred.

The Committee provides $50,000,000 in Economic Support Fund

Counterdrug Initiative for programs and activities relating to the

protection of Colombian President Alvaro Uribe, the expansion of

police presence in municipalities in insecure areas, and for other

costs associated with Plan Colombia. The Committee is concerned

abut the large number of impoverished Colombians, particularly

women and children, who have been displaced from their homes
19

and are not receiving public assistance. Therefore, the Committee

provides that not less than $5,000,000 should be made available for

programs and activities to assist women and children who have

been displaced as a result of armed conflict. The Committee intends to consider assistance for Colombia provided under this Act

to partially offset the fiscal year 2004 request for assistance for Colombia. The Committee notes that the restrictions on assistance to

appropriate congressional committees on a semiannual basis on all

Commerce and Control Munitions List items transferred to Iraq,

and the person or entity to which each item has been transferred.

The Committee requests that the first report be submitted to Congress no later than 90 days after enactment of this Act.

2003 supplemental estimate ................................................................. 1,500,000,000

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 1,135,000,000

The Committee provides an additional $1,135,000,000 to support

expanded responsibilities of the Department of Homeland Security

organizations and other authorized Federal Government activities

in Federal agencies outside the Department during periods of

heightened threat awareness resulting from the conflict with Iraq.

This amount is $365,000,000 less than the supplemental request.
22

The amount recommended includes an additional $215,000,000 of

the amount requested by the President for the ‘‘Emergency Response Fund’’ under the Executive Office of the President, and a reduction of $580,000,000 from the supplemental request for the

‘‘Counterterrorism Fund.’’ The Committee has instead appropriated

$580,000,000 directly to the Coast Guard to support additional

operational costs associated with the activation of Coast Guard reservists and forces already deployed or in the process of being deployed to the operational theater, and increased protection of military outload and economically-critical U.S. ports.

Due to the uncertainty of the full scope of agency requirements

related to Operation Liberty Shield and needs resulting from the

conflict in Iraq and the Middle East, flexibility is provided to the

Secretary of Homeland Security, as requested, to allocate the

$1,135,000,000 in supplemental appropriations provided for the

Counterterrorism Fund to respective Department of Homeland Security agencies, including the Coast Guard. These additional funds

are to be used only for activities above and beyond day-to-day operations, including costs associated with the management and administration of expanded State and local assistance programs. Not to

exceed $215,000,000 of the total amount appropriated may be

transferred to any authorized Federal Government activity outside

the Department of Homeland Security to cover immediate or

emerging terrorism-related prevention requirements, as determined

by the Secretary of Homeland Security. Prior to the obligation of

any funds, the Secretary of Homeland Security is required to submit a 15-day notice to the Committees on Appropriations of the

House and Senate. The Committee expects this notice to be accompanied by a full and complete justification of the costs to be reimbursed by agency and account, including a detailed breakdown by

program, project and activity.

Current Department of Homeland Security estimates of agency

30-day requirements associated with immediate or emerging terrorism-related prevention and response activities are as follows:

Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, $55,000,000

(overtime for investigations and detentions, air and marine interdiction, detention and removals, investigations, Federal Protective

Service, operations and maintenance for the air program, and other

related costs); Bureau of Customs and Border Protection,

$65,000,000 (overtime, operations costs of assets, impact on user

fee collections, and other logistics costs); Bureau of Citizenship and

Immigration Services, $1,000,000 (international affairs, overtime

for adjudication support, and naturalization for military personnel);

Transportation Security Administration, $120,000,000 (overtime for

passenger screeners, operations costs of assets, supply/logistics

costs, contract hiring/service/training, and State and local (National

Guard) expenses); Federal Law Enforcement Training Requirements, $1,000,000 (emergency training requirements); U.S. Secret

Service, $10,000,000 (additional personnel costs, security upgrades,

equipment and replacement purchases); Emergency Preparedness

and Response, $15,000,000 (emergency support teams and regional

operations centers); and Infrastructure Analysis and Infrastructure

Protection, $10,000,000 (protection of critical assets).

2003 supplemental estimate ................................................................. 2,000,000,000

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 2,000,000,000

The Committee provides an additional $2,000,000,000, as requested, to continue to enhance and strengthen America’s first responder community. Included in this amount is $1,420,000,000 for

grants to States for protection and preparedness activities;

$30,000,000 for direct technical assistance to States; $450,000,000

for grants to augment security at critical infrastructure facilities;

and $100,000,000 for protection or preparedness needs of highthreat urban areas.

The additional $1,420,000,000 made available for grants to

States to further augment State and local protection and preparedness activities is to be allocated by formula to States for the acquisition of equipment, training, exercises, and planning. Language is

included in the bill to require that at least 80 percent of these

funds are allocated to local governments within 60 days of the

grant award.

An additional $30,000,000 is made available to enable the Office

for Domestic Preparedness to provide technical assistance to States

for a variety of activities, as needed, including support for plan development, implementation of exercises, and assistance with interoperable communications and equipment.

The $450,000,000 provided for grants to States to augment security at critical infrastructure facilities is to be made available to reimburse State and local governments for personnel overtime, deployment of the National Guard, and contract staff used to supply

security to meet heightened protection requirements. These funds

are to be allocated by formula to States. Language is included in

the bill to require that no less than one-third of each grant be allocated to local governments within 60 days of award. The Committee expects the Department of Homeland Security to work closely with governors to ensure proper security for the most sensitive

sites, and to develop and approve State and local site protection

plans to enable funds to be released expeditiously.

The Department is expected to provide bi-weekly reports on the

status of State application submissions for all available funds provided for programs of the Office for Domestic Preparedness.

The Committee recognizes that certain densely-populated urban

areas may be particular targets of terrorists. Supplemental funding

of $100,000,000 is made available to meet the protection or preparedness needs of these high-threat urban areas, as determined

by the Secretary of Homeland Security.

The Committee directs that, not later than 60 days after the date

of enactment of this Act, the Director of the Office for Domestic

Preparedness in the Department of Homeland Security shall submit to the Committees on Appropriations of the Senate and the

House of Representatives a report on the distribution of Federal financial assistance to, and within, States in support of first responders to threats or acts of terrorism. The report shall include
24

a detailed discussion of the relationship between the distribution of

funds and the assessed threats, vulnerabilities, and risks.

The Committee further directs the Secretary of Homeland Security to work with the national intelligence community (including

the Central Intelligence Agency, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Defense Intelligence Agency and others), as well as State

and local law enforcement agencies, to evaluate threat levels and

estimate the risk of terrorist attack at the local level to high threat

urban areas. This assessment should take into consideration risk

factors such as dense population or areas which may be particular

targets for terrorists such as airports, seaports, symbolic targets

(including monuments, historic sites and other landmarks), and a

history of terrorist attack. The Committee further directs the Secretary of Homeland Security to report to the Committee on these

findings within 60 days of enactment of this Act. In addition, the

Committee directs the Secretary to (1) determine the cost of securing each locality; (2) evaluate of how much of such costs should be

borne by the Federal Government; (3) identify other entities, if any,

who should share in those costs and to what extent; and (4) propose a formula for distributing these funds based upon these findings.

Freedom are as follows: pay and personnel support costs (regular

and special pays, messing, per diem, medical costs, issued personnel gear and personnel support costs at the field command and

reserve mobilization costs), for deployed forces, $62,000,000, and

for military outload security, $163,000,000; operational tempo and

mission costs (fuel, consumable parts, facilities and base support,

force protection, command and control costs), for deployed forces,

$69,000,000, and for military outload security, $54,000,000; and

transportation, reconstitution, and recapitalization costs (sealift,

The Committee notes that the Office of Management and Budget

submitted a request of $125,000,000 for the Legislative Branch

Emergency Response Fund. However, legislative branch agencies

submitted individual requests totaling $130,800,000, excluding

amounts requested by the House of Representatives. The Committee is concerned that OMB has violated normal protocols dictated by the separation of powers between the two branches of government by not including in the supplemental request precisely

that which was requested by the Legislative Branch.

The Committee has recommended funds directly to the individual

agencies which submitted requests, rather than a lump sum appropriation as submitted by OMB.

SUBCOMMITTEE ON MILITARY CONSTRUCTION

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

MILITARY CONSTRUCTION, NAVY

2003 supplemental estimate ................................................................. 48,100,000

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 48,100,000
28

The Committee recommends an additional $48,100,000 for Military Construction, Navy, to provide facilities and infrastructure to

carry out detainee operations for the initial phase of the long-term

detention mission at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The Committee notes

that with these additional funds, over $104,000,000 in military construction will have been expended for detainee facilities at Guantanamo Bay since February, 2002. Included in these expenses are at

least three generations of housing facilities for personnel assigned

to detainee operations at Guantanamo—‘‘SEA Huts’’, improved

‘‘SEA Huts’’ and durable metal troop housing. While the Committee

is supportive of the detainee mission at Guantanamo, it wishes to

minimize repetitive construction of perishable temporary facilities.

The Committee directs the Department to complete a comprehensive facilities master plan for Guantanamo and to provide copies of

that plan to the congressional defense committees by September

30, 2003.

MILITARY CONSTRUCTION, AIR FORCE

2003 appropriation to date .................................................................... $1,048,366,000

2003 supplemental estimate ................................................................. 129,400,000

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 127,400,000

The Committee recommends an additional $127,400,000 for Military Construction, Air Force, to be used as follows:

Millennium Village Construction ......................................................... $85,100,000

Explosive Ordnance Pad Construction, Diego Garcia ......................... 3,200,000

Planning and Design ............................................................................. 1,800,000

Andersen AFB Hangar Construction ................................................... 35,500,000

Andersen AFB Hangar Planning and Design ..................................... 1,800,000

The supplemental appropriation request included $25,000,000 for

construction of a parallel taxiway at a classified location. However,

the Committee understands that this project is already under construction using operations and maintenance funds; therefore additional appropriation is unnecessary. The request also included

$11,000,000 for construction of a C–130 aircraft parking apron at

a classified location but the Committee understands that the requirement for this facility no longer exists because of mission

changes. For these reasons funding is not provided for either of

these projects or for the planning and design to support them.

The Committee notes that an urgent need exists to repair damage to facilities at Andersen Air Force Base caused by Typhoon

Ponsonga, which struck Guam on December 8–9, 2002. Andersen

Air Force Base represents an important strategic capability for the

United States as a key staging location for operations into East

Asia and as a crucial part of the air bridge to Southwest Asia. Typhoon Ponsonga caused significant damage to three of the base’s

four aircraft hangars, eliminating the base’s ability to conduct climate controlled aircraft maintenance. $35,700,000 is provided for

construction of a new aircraft maintenance hangar, and $1,800,000

is provided for planning and design for this project.

FAMILY HOUSING OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE, AIR FORCE

2003 appropriation to date .................................................................... $863,050,000

2003 supplemental estimate ................................................................. ...........................

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 2,000,000
29

The Committee recommends an additional $2,000,000 for Family

Housing Operation and Maintenance, Air Force, to repair family

housing units at Andersen Air Force Base, Guam, which were damaged by Typhoon Ponsonga.

GENERAL PROVISION, THIS CHAPTER

SEC. 901. The Committee recommendation modifies a provision

proposed by the administration which provides the Secretary of Defense with additional authority for military construction expenses

associated with the war on terror and military operations in Iraq.

MARITIME GUARANTEED LOAN (TITLE XI) PROGRAM ACCOUNT

2003 appropriation to date .................................................................... $4,126,000

2003 supplemental estimate ................................................................. ...........................

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

The Committee recommends an appropriation of $50,000,000 for

the Maritime Guaranteed Loan Program (title XI). The title XI program provides subsidies for guaranteed loans for purchasers of vessels built in U.S. shipyards and includes the guarantee for facilities

or equipment pertaining to marine operations related to any of

those vessels. The Committee is aware that the program is critical

for those who transport military equipment and supplies to deployed military forces during time of war. There is currently only

$1,000,000 available for pending and new loan guarantees, and

many future maritime projects, including those that will be used

for military sealift, are in jeopardy without additional resources.

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 106,060,000

The Committee recommends $106,060,000 for procurement, ac- quisition and construction. The recommendation is $106,060,000

above the request.

The Polar-orbiting Operational Environmental Satellite [POES],

National Polar-orbiting Operational Environmental Satellite System [NPOESS], and Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite [GOES] programs are designed to provide the U.S. Government with continuous satellite coverage necessary for weather fore-
31

casting and disaster planning and response. In 1994, as a cost savings effort, the civil and military polar-orbiting systems were integrated into a single, national system satisfying both civil and national security needs. In order to ensure that the United States

would never be dependent on a foreign government for its weather

satellite data, the programs were designed to include a spare that

could be launched or activated immediately should a system failure

occur.

Since the fiscal year 2003 omnibus appropriations conference, the

Committee has learned that it was misinformed regarding the

funding requirements for the POES, NPOESS, and GOES programs. The fiscal year 2003 President’s budget request for POES

and NPOESS included an anomaly. As noted above, satellite purchases are phased to ensure that a ‘‘hot’’ spare is available should

a catastrophic launch failure occur. The request introduced a 12-

month gap between the second to last POES launch and the availability of a spare and a 19-month gap between the last launch of

POES and the availability of a NPOESS spare. Current funding

levels exacerbate these gaps. Regarding GOES, NOAA typically options satellite ‘‘buses’’ and launch vehicles at the same time. The

current funding level will force NOAA to split the optioning of the

next satellite. The bus will be paid for with fiscal year 2003 funds

and the launch vehicle with fiscal year 2004 funds.

The level of risk and additional costs associated with the gaps

and the severing of launch vehicle from bus are not acceptable.

Therefore, the Committee recommendation provides $14,600,000

for POES and $48,000,000 for NPOESS to reduce to the greatest

degree possible the gaps and $41,000,000 for GOES to remarry the

procurement. The National Environmental Satellite, Data and Information Service is directed to provide to the Committees on Appropriations a ‘‘cure plan’’ for these three programs not later than

June 1, 2003.

2003 supplemental estimate ................................................................. ...........................

Committee recommendation ................................................................. 23,300,000

The Committee recommends $23,300,000 for the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission [EEOC]. The recommendation is

$23,300,000 above the supplemental budget request. The recommendation is necessary to avert a fiscal crisis that will result in

the furlough of 100 percent of the workforce for an extended period

of time. The Committee understands this fiscal crisis resulted from

a myriad of factors, most significantly past hiring practices that resulted in a tremendous surge in staff salaries and benefits and increased GSA rent requirements.

Upon assumption of duties, the present Chair immediately instituted a hiring freeze but lacks the resources to induce sufficient

numbers of employees to apply for early retirement. The Commission took further corrective action by contracting with the National
32

Academy of Public Administration [NAPA] to assess personnel

structure and other workforce issues. The NAPA study recommended a 5-year plan to more efficiently align the Commission

and avoid financial crises in the future.

The immediate requirement to merely stabilize the Commission

and prevent a furlough or Anti-Deficiency Act violation is

$18,300,000. However, this funding level will not correct the root

problem, only delay it. Implementation of the NAPA plan is the

only sure way to correct the fiscal problem. Therefore, the Committee recommends $5,000,000 for the first installment of the restructure plan. This will allow the agency to establish a national

call center and provide technology required to more fully support

telework and remote access requirements, as well as support major

staffing adjustments.

Immediate stabilization and a major personnel restructure are

critical to the agency’s future. The EEOC has presented this Committee with a business case analysis to support this request that

will not only stabilize the Commission but begin a realistic and

cost-effective restructure plan.

The amount provided is intended to cover all costs through the

life of the Commission. The report of the Commission is due May

2004.

CHAPTER 3

SUBCOMMITTEE ON DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA

DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA

The Committee recommends a number of changes to the District

of Columbia’s local budget, as requested by the Mayor and approved by City Council. These changes are necessitated by a projected budget shortfall of $133,600,000. The Committee is not recommending any additional Federal funds for the District of Columbia.

GOVERNMENTAL DIRECTION AND SUPPORT

The Committee recommends a rescission of $9,358,000 in local

funds for governmental direction and support for savings associated

with the reduction in risk management functions within the agency, savings associated with a District-wide hiring freeze, and the

reduction of telecommunications costs and contractual savings.
33

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND REGULATION

The Committee recommends an increase of $14,998,000 in local

funds for economic development and support for increased costs associated with the following: the Summer Youth Program, the Home

Purchasing Assistance Program, and the Relocation Program.

PUBLIC SAFETY AND JUSTICE

The Committee recommends an increase of $10,422,000 in local

funds for public safety and justice, including funds for overtime

costs and new recruiting costs for the Metropolitan Police Department, and overtime costs for the Department of Corrections and

the Fire and Emergency Medical Services.

PUBLIC EDUCATION SYSTEM

The Committee recommends several changes in the allocation of

local funds for the public education system. These include an increase of $2,029,000 for the District of Columbia Public Schools for

school operations, a rescission of $12,000,000 for District of Columbia Charter Schools due to lower than anticipated student enrollment, however, the Committee intends that not less than

$3,000,000 of these funds are to be used to provide adequate charter school facitlities and educational programs for charter schools.

The Committee also recommends a rescission of $1,040,000 for the

University of the District of Columbia due to savings achieved by

a District-wide hiring freeze, a rescission of $273,000 for the District of Columbia Public Libraries due to cuts made in its share of

the Arts project program, and a rescission of $255,000 for the Commission on the Arts and Humanities due to a cut in its share of

the Arts project program.

HUMAN SUPPORT SERVICES

The Committee recommends several changes to the allocation of

local funds for Human Support Services. These include an increase

for the Department of Health to cover medical claims exceeding

budgeted costs, and to cover higher Medicaid utilization and managed care costs. These also include an increase to the Department

of Human Services to cover court order costs associated with the

Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities Agency, as well

as an increase for the Children and Family Services Agency to

cover costs associated with unbudgeted out-of-state tuition costs for

foster care student.

PUBLIC WORKS

The Committee recommends several changes to the allocation of

local funds for Public Works. These include increases for the recycling program, and for the District’s inspection station program.

The Committee is recommending several rescissions attributable to

hiring freezes and freezing pay increases.
34

REPAYMENT OF LOANS AND INTEREST

The Committee recommends a rescission of $2,466,000 from local

funds due to the lower debt service obligations based on improved

market rates and delays in borrowing.

WORKFORCE INVESTMENTS

The Committee recommends a rescission of $2,000,000 from local

funds in Workforce Investments due to the suspension of non-union

pay increases.

GENERAL PROVISIONS, THIS CHAPTER

SEC. 3001. The Committee has included bill language to allow

the District to authorize transfers of an amount not to exceed

$32,900,000 from funds identified in the fiscal year 2002 comprehensive annual financial report from the fund balance to the

local general fund. This transfer will allow the District to address

revenue shortfalls due to the economic downturn, but it will not affect the District’s emergency or contingency reserves.

SEC. 3002. The Committee has included bill language that extends the authority which the Chief Financial Officer of the District of Columbia can exercise with respect to personnel, procurement, and the preparation of fiscal impact statements during a control period through September 30, 2004. The current authority expires on July 1, 2003.

BUREAU OF INDIAN AFFAIRS

CONSTRUCTION

In accordance with the administration’s request, the Fiscal Year

2002 Interior and Related Agencies Appropriations Act (Public Law

107–63) provided funding for the construction of a K–12 Ojibwa Indian school. Since that time, the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians and the Bureau of Indian Affairs have agreed that

the replacement school should be sized for 553 students. Based on

this agreement, the Committee believes that the remaining planning, design, and actual construction can now be accomplished for

approximately $26,700,000, or less. Bill language has therefore

been included directing that funds for this project be made available for obligation within 30 days of enactment of this Act.
