SEC. 676. SPECIAL COMPENSATION FOR RESERVE COMPO-
NENT MEMBERS WHO ARE ALSO TOBACCO 
FARMERS ADVERSELY AFFECTED BY TERMS 
OF TOBACCO QUOTA BUYOUT. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following: 
(1) The dispute resolution mechanism provided 
in section 624(b) of the Fair and Equitable Tobacco 
Reform Act of 2004 (7 U.S.C. 518c), which was in-
tended to help tobacco producers in hardship cir-
cumstances, is not likely to provide relief to tobacco 
producers who are also members of the reserve com-
ponents of the Armed Forces and were called or or-
dered to active duty for extended deployment. 
(2) The special compensation provided under 
this section addresses a unique situation and does 
not set a precedent for other persons seeking excep-
tions to the eligibility requirements for payments 
under such Act. 
(b) AVAILABILITY OF COMPENSATION.—Subject to 
subsection (c), the Secretary of Defense shall make a pay-
ment under this section to any member of a reserve com-
ponent whose eligibility for a payment under section 623 
of the Fair and Equitable Tobacco Reform Act of 2004 
(7 U.S.C. 518b) as a producer of quota tobacco was ad-
versely affected, or whose payment amount under such 
section was determined using a variable payment rate
296
specified in subparagraph (B) or (C) of subsection (d)(3) 
of such section, because the member was serving on active 
duty under a call or order to active duty for a period of 
more than 30 days during any of the tobacco marketing 
years specified in subparagraph (A) of such subsection. 
(c) RESTRICTION TO MEMBERS WHO ARE LONG-
TIME TOBACCO GROWERS.—To be eligible for a payment 
under this section, a member described in subsection (b) 
must have been a producer of quota tobacco (as defined 
in section 621 of the Fair and Equitable Tobacco Reform 
Act of 2004 (7 U.S.C. 518a)) during at least two of the 
three tobacco marketing years before the 2002 marketing 
year. 
(d) AMOUNT OF PAYMENT.—The amount of the pay-
ment required under this section for a member shall be 
equal to 70 percent of the difference between—
(1) the amount the member will receive under 
section 623 of the Fair and Equitable Tobacco Re-
form Act of 2004; and 
(2) the amount that the member would have 
likely received under such section had the member 
remained a full-time producer of quota tobacco and 
not been called or ordered to active duty. 
(e) CALCULATION OF PAYMENT AMOUNT.—The Sec-
retary of Defense shall make the calculation required by
297
subsection (c) in consultation with the Secretary of Agri-
culture. 
SEC. 677. COMPTROLLER GENERAL REPORT REGARDING 
COMPENSATION 
AND 
BENEFITS 
FOR 
RE-
SERVE COMPONENT MEMBERS. 
(a) REPORT REQUIRED.—The Comptroller General 
shall prepare a report reviewing the terms and elements 
of reserve compensation, benefit, and personnel support 
programs, including the retirement system. 
(b) ELEMENTS OF REPORT.—The report required by 
subsection (a) shall address at a minimum the following: 
(1) The effectiveness and adequacy of com-
pensation and benefit programs, income protection 
for members of the reserve components called to ac-
tive duty, family support programs, health care ac-
cess, and other programs of interest to such mem-
bers. 
(2) The need for these programs to be im-
proved, including such recommendations as the 
Comptroller 
General 
considers 
appropriate 
for 
achieving needed improvements. 
(3) A comparison of these programs to similar 
programs conducted for the benefit of regular forces 
to determine if the reserve programs are fair and eq-
uitable given the increased contributions by reserve
298
component forces to the defense of the United 
States. 
(4) An examination of the differences in bene-
fits and protections provided to reservists who are 
called to serve under different authorities, including 
title 10, United States Code, title 32, United States 
Code, and State active duty. 
(5) The need for benefits and protections to be 
made consistent regardless of the authority under 
which members of the reserve components are called 
to serve, including such recommendations as the 
Comptroller 
General 
considers 
appropriate 
for 
achieving that objective. 
(c) RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER STUDIES AND RE-
PORTS.—To the extent that an issue required to be ad-
dressed by subsection (b) is also the subject of other stud-
ies or reports being prepared by the Comptroller General, 
the Comptroller General may drop the issue from this re-
port to avoid duplication of effort. 
(d) SUBMISSION OF REPORT.—The Comptroller Gen-
eral shall submit the report to the congressional defense 
committees not later than March 31, 2006.
