            (1) Title IX of the Department of Defense Appropriations

        $50,000,000,000 for the cost of ongoing military operations

        fiscal year 2006, none of which supplemental appropriations was 
        included in the concurrent resolution on the budget for fiscal

            (3) The President on February 6, 2006, included a

            (4) The concurrent resolution on the budget for fiscal year 
        2007, as agreed to in the Senate on March 16, 2007, anticipates 
        as much as $86,300,000,000 in emergency spending in fiscal year

        supplemental appropriations bill to fund ongoing military 
        operations during fiscal year 2007.

            (1) any request for funds for a fiscal year after fiscal 
        year 2007 for ongoing military operations in Afghanistan and 
        Iraq should be included in the annual budget of the President 
        for such fiscal year as submitted to Congress under section 
        1105(a) of title 31, United States Code;
            (2) any request for funds for such a fiscal year for 
        ongoing military operations should provide an estimate of all 
        funds required in that fiscal year for such operations;
            (3) any request for funds for ongoing military operations 
        should include a detailed justification of the anticipated use 
        of such funds for such operations; and
            (4) any funds provided for ongoing military operations 
        overseas should be provided in appropriations Acts for such 
        fiscal year through appropriations to specific accounts set 
        forth in such appropriations Acts.

                on official duty in iraq and afghanistan

    Sec. 1406. (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) As part of the United States effort to bring democracy 
        and freedom to Iraq and Afghanistan, employees of a broad range 
        of Federal agencies are needed to serve in those countries, 
        furnishing expertise to their counterpart agencies in the 
        Government of Iraq and the Government of Afghanistan.
            (2) While the heads of a number of Federal agencies already 
        possess authority to provide to their personnel on official 
        duty abroad allowances, benefits, and death gratuities 
        comparable to those provided by the Secretary of State to 
        similarly-situated Foreign Service personnel on official duty 
        abroad, other agency heads do not possess such authority.
            (3) In order to assist the United States Government in 
        recruiting personnel to serve in Iraq and Afghanistan, and to 
        avoid inequities in allowances, benefits, and death gratuities 
        among similarly-situated United States Government civilian 
        personnel on official duty in these countries, it is essential 
        that the heads of all agencies that have personnel on official 
        duty in Iraq and Afghanistan have the same basic authority with 
        respect to allowances, benefits, and death gratuities for such 
        personnel.
    (b) In General.--During any fiscal year, the head of an agency may, 
in the agency head's discretion, provide to an individual employed by, 
or assigned or detailed to, such agency allowances, benefits, and 
gratuities comparable to those provided by the Secretary of State to 
members of the Foreign Service under section 413 and chapter 9 of title 
I of the Foreign Service Act of 1980 (22 U.S.C. 3973; 4081 et seq.), if 
such individual is on official duty in Iraq or Afghanistan.
    (c) Construction.--Nothing in this section shall be construed to 
impair or otherwise affect the authority of the head of an agency under 
any other provision of law.
    (d) Applicability of Certain Authorities.--Section 912(a) of the 
Internal Revenue Code of 1986 shall apply with respect to amounts 
received as allowances or otherwise under this section in the same 
manner as section 912 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 applies with 
respect to amounts received by members of the Foreign Service as 
allowances or otherwise under chapter 9 of title I of the Foreign 
Service Act of 1980.

            (2) Loss thresholds for quality losses.--In the case of a 
        payment for quality loss for a crop under subsection (c)(2), 
        the loss thresholds for quality loss for the crop shall be

        in accordance with paragraphs (5) and (6), the payment rate for 
        quality losses for a crop of a commodity on a farm shall be 
        equal to the difference between--
                    (A) the per unit market value that the units of the 
                crop affected by the quality loss would have had if the 
                crop had not suffered a quality loss; and
                    (B) the per unit market value of the units of the

            (4) Eligibility.--For producers on a farm to be eligible to 
        obtain a payment for a quality loss for a crop under subsection 
        (c)(2), the amount obtained by multiplying the per unit loss 
        determined under paragraph (1) by the number of units affected 
        by the quality loss shall be at least 25 percent of the value 
        that all affected production of the crop would have had if the 
        crop had not suffered a quality loss.
            (5) Marketing contracts.--In the case of any production of 
        a commodity that is sold pursuant to 1 or more marketing 
        contracts (regardless of whether the contract is entered into 
        by the producers on the farm before or after harvest) and for 
        which appropriate documentation exists, the quantity designated 
        in the contracts shall be eligible for quality loss assistance 
        based on the 1 or more prices specified in the contracts.
            (6) Other production.--For any additional production of a 
        commodity for which a marketing contract does not exist or for 
        which production continues to be owned by the producer, quality 
        losses shall be based on the average local market discounts for 
        reduced quality, as determined by the appropriate State 
        committee of the Farm Service Agency.
            (7) Quality adjustments and discounts.--The appropriate 
        State committee of the Farm Service Agency shall identify the

                the Farm Service Agency or crop insurance coverage 
                under the Federal Crop Insurance Act (7 U.S.C. 1501 et 
                seq.).
            (8) Eligible production.--The Secretary shall carry out 
        this subsection in a fair and equitable manner for all eligible 
        production, including the production of fruits and vegetables,

        producers on a farm shall not be eligible for assistance under 
        this section with respect to losses to an insurable commodity 
        or noninsurable commodity if the producers on the farm--
                    (A) in the case of an insurable commodity, did not 
                obtain a policy or plan of insurance for the insurable

                deadline, for the noninsurable commodity under section
