Appropriations for FY2002: Military Construction
Released: 2002-04-23T00:00:00

Summary:
The military construction (MilCon) appropriations bill provides funding for (1) military construction projects in the United States and overseas; (2) military family housing operations andconstruction; (3) U.S. contributions to the NATO Security Investment Program; and (4) the bulk ofbase realignment and closure (BRAC) costs.
Funding for rebuilding parts of the Pentagon destroyed in the terrorist attack of September 11, 2001, is likely to be included in military construction appropriations. Preliminary estimates of thetotal cost vary from $100 million to $1 billion. Part of the emergency funding legislation, H.R. 2888 ( P.L. 107-38 ), passed by Congress Friday, September 14, will be allocatedfor this rebuilding. To date, $173.4 million in contracts have been awarded for emergency structuralassessment, repair, and restoration to the Pentagon, with provision for additional awards at 60-dayintervals.
On June 27, the Administration submitted a $343.5 billion amended FY2002 defense budget request. $10.0 billion of this is intended for military construction. Of that amount, $4.6 billion isintended for the active services and DOD; $0.6 billion for the National Guard and Reserves; $4.1billion for construction and operation of military family housing; $0.2 billion for the NATO SecurityInvestment Program, and $0.5 billion for BRAC. Separate versions of appropriations bills (bothgranting $10.5 billion in new budget authority) have been passed by Congress ( H.R. 2904 and S. 1460 ).
A key issue in Congress is funding for quality of life construction. Military work facilities, particularly those overseas and those by the National Guard and Reserves, are perceived by manyas being deteriorated and underfunded. Recently, Congress has often appropriated more inconstruction funds than the Administration has requested. Congress has similarly augmented budgetrequests for military family housing appropriations. The FY2002 military construction bill exceedsthe requested amount by 5.3%.
An additional key issue is the future of the Efficient Facilities Initiative (EFI). DOD recommended legislation on August 3 to initiate a worldwide assessment of military installationrequirements, based on the results of the current Quadrennial Defense Review, and a subsequentround of base closures and realignments. The legislation as submitted would permanently authorizethe service secretaries to convey base property to local or state government or private enterprise andlease back what is necessary for military use. This is modeled on a demonstration project begunduring FY2000 at Brooks Air Force Base, Texas. If enacted, the EFI is likely to affect the future needfor military construction and operations and maintenance funding.
Other issues include the provision of construction contingency funds in budget requests (to enable uninterrupted construction), an understanding of the total costs of DOD real property (spreadacross several budget accounts), and recent conflicts between Administration and congressionalconstruction priorities and funding. Conference action on the bill is pending.

paragraphs: The House Appropriations Committee marked up the Military Construction Appropriations billfor FY2002 ( H.R. 2904 ) on September 20, 2001, with House passage the next day ona 401-0 vote (vote no. 344). The Senate Appropriations Committee marked up its version of the bill( S. 1460 ) on September 25 and passed it the next day on a unanimous vote of 97-0 (voteno. 288). Although both bills appropriated $10.5 billion, falling within adjusted 302(b) budgetallocations, they differed in how the funding was allocated. Conferees met on October 16, 2001, andissued the conference report ( H.Rept. 107-246 ) on H.R. 2904 . The House approved thereport on October 17 with a vote of 409-1 (vote no. 394). The Senate approved the report on October18 with a vote of 96-1 (vote no. 305), clearing the measure for the President. The President signedthe bill on November 5, 2001, enacting it as P.L. 107-64 (115 Stat. 474).
section_title: Background: Content of Military Construction Appropriations and Defense Authorization Bills
paragraphs: The Department of Defense (DOD) manages the world's largest dedicated infrastructure,covering more than 40,000 square miles of land and a physical plant worth more than $500 billion. The military construction appropriations bill provides a large part of the funding to enhance andmaintain this infrastructure. The bill funds construction projects and real property maintenance ofthe active Army, Navy and Marine Corps, Air Force, and their reserve components; additionaldefense-wide construction; U.S. contributions to the NATO Security Investment Program (formerlyknown as the NATO Infrastructure Program); and military family housing operations andconstruction. (1) The bill also provides funding for theBase Realignment and Closure (BRAC)account, which finances most base realignment and closure costs, including construction of newfacilities for transferred personnel and functions and environmental cleanup at closing sites.
The military construction appropriations bill is one of several annual pieces of legislation that provide funding for national defense. Other major appropriation legislation includes the defenseappropriations bill, which provides funds for all non-construction military activities of theDepartment of Defense and constitutes more than 90% of national security-related spending, and theenergy and water development appropriations bill, which provides funding for atomic energy defenseactivities of the Department of Energy and for civil projects carried out by the U.S. Army Corps ofEngineers. Two other appropriations bills, VA-HUD-Independent Agencies andCommerce-Justice-State, also include small amounts for national defense. (2)
The annual defense authorization bill authorizes all of the activities in the defense appropriation measures described above. Therefore, major debates over defense policy and funding issues,including military construction, can be also found in the authorization bill. Since issues in thedefense authorization and appropriations bills intertwine, this report includes salient parts of theauthorization bill in its discussion of the military construction appropriation process.
The separate military construction appropriations bill dates to the late 1950s and early 1960s when Congress funded a large defense infrastructure build-up precipitated by the heightened securitythreat posed by the Soviet Union. Defense construction spending soared as facilities were hardenedagainst potential nuclear attack, missile silos were constructed, and other infrastructure was built.The appropriations committees established military construction subcommittees to deal with thisnew level of activity, and the separate military construction bill was created. The first stand-alonemilitary construction bill was written for FY1959 (P.L. 85-852). Previously, militaryconstruction funding was provided through annual defense appropriations or supplementalappropriations bills.
Military construction appropriations are the major, but not the sole, source of funds for facility investments by the military services and defense agencies. The defense appropriations bill providessome funds for real property maintenance in operation and maintenance and minor constructionaccounts. In addition, funds for construction and maintenance of Morale, Welfare, andRecreation-related facilities are partially provided through proceeds of commissaries, recreation userfees, and other non-appropriated income. 
Most funds appropriated by Congress each year must be obligated in that fiscal year. Military construction appropriations, though, are an exception. Because of the long-term nature ofconstruction projects, these funds can generally be obligated for up to five fiscal years, reflecting thelong-term nature of capital building programs.
Consideration of the military construction budget starts when the President's budget is delivered to Congress each year, usually in early February. This year is unusual, though, because the Presidentdid not submit his amended DOD FY2002 budget request until June 27, 2001.

subsections: section_title: Appropriations Action
paragraphs: House Appropriations Action. The House passed the FY2002 Military Construction Appropriations Act( H.R. 2904 , H.Rept. 107-207 , CR H5868-5875) without amendment onSeptember 21, 2001, by a 401-0 vote. As passed by the House, the $10.500 billionbill increased the military construction budget by $1.035 billion, or 11%, above theFY2001 enactment. It decreased the current "facility replacement rate" of 192 yearsto 101 years and kept the Department of Defense on track to bring barracks andfamily housing up to acceptable habitability standards by 2008 and 2010,respectively. (3) This bill exceeded the president'srequest by $528.7 million, allocating$5.6 billion to military construction, $163 million to the NATO Security InvestmentProgram, $4.1 billion to family housing, and $552 million to Base Realignment andClosure (BRAC). It also required an upward adjustment of 302(b) budget allocationfrom $10.2 billion to $10.5 billion.
Senate Appropriations Action. The Senate passed the FY2002 Military Construction Appropriations Act( S. 1460 , S.Rept. 107-68 , CR S9828-9833) with amendment in thenature of a substitute of the House bill on September 26, 2001, by a 97-0 vote. Aspassed by the Senate, the $10.500 billion bill exceeded the president's request by$528.7 million, allocating $5.5 billion to military construction, $163 million to theNATO Security Investment Program, $4.1 billion to family housing, and $682million to Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC). The bill was within the 302(b)allocation (see Table 4 for side-by-side comparisons by appropriation account of thebudget request, House and Senate bills).
Conference Action. Senate conferees were appointed on September 26. House conferees were appointed onOctober 2. The conferees met on October 16 and issued the conference report( H.Rept. 107-246 ). Their report was forwarded to the House floor on October 17,where it was approved with a vote of 409-1. The report was sent to the Senate floor,where it was approved with a vote of 96-1, clearing the bill for the President.
section_title: Key Policy Issues
paragraphs: Elective Quality of LifeConstruction. Budget actions affect service member perceptions ofthe quality of military life through its impact on matters such as pay and benefits,health care, deployment schedules, and the like. In recent years, quality of life,including the use of military construction funds, has been a focus of the defensedebate.
Recent committee attention has focused on improvements to housing, workplaces, and installation infrastructure (such as water, sewer, and electricitysystems), through both new construction and improved operations and maintenanceof existing facilities. Subcommittee hearings have discussed at length the applicationof military construction funds to housing and workplace improvements at basesoverseas and within the continental United States. Efforts to leverage appropriatedfunds through the partial privatization of military housing and installation utilityservices have also been subjected to protracted dialogue in committee hearings. Foran in-depth discussion of the privatization of housing see CRS Report RL31039(pdf) , Military Housing Privatization Initiative: Background and Issues , by [author name scrubbed].
Requested Congressional Additions to the Military Construction Budget. In recent years, some analysts have criticizedthe military construction appropriations process for being prone to the insertion ofunwanted and unnecessary undertakings. Others, though, have supported theaddition of construction projects not requested by the Department of Defense asbeing necessary for military viability. An historical comparison shows that thedivergence between DOD budget requests and congressional appropriationenactments originated relatively recently and has mainly affected the less than 20 %of military construction funding dedicated to the National Guard and Reserves (see Table 5 at the end of this report).
Military construction funding since the mid 1980s can be broken into three distinct periods: prior to fiscal year 1989; fiscal years 1989 - 1994; and fiscal year1995 to the present. Before FY1989, the relationship between funding requested bythe Administration and budget authority enacted by Congress appeared stable.Congress typically appropriated approximately 80 % of DOD requests for militaryconstruction funds. Beginning with FY1989, Regular (i.e., active duty) componentfunding continued in the established pattern, but Reserve component requests (whichinclude the federal reserves and the Army and Air National Guard) took a sudden andsharp downturn (see Figures 1 and 2 ). Congress responded by adding morethan35% to that year's budget Reserve component submission. This gap between reserveconstruction requests and appropriations has remained and widened. Finally, withFY1995, the pattern of funding for the Regular forces inverted. Although presidentialrequests reversed their downward direction and began to rise, Congress began toappropriate more than was requested and has continued to do so to the present.
Environmental Remediation on Closed Military Bases. The continuing costs associated with the four completedBRAC rounds, funded through the military construction appropriation, are nowreduced to covering environmental and other caretaker efforts. Funding requestedand appropriated for BRAC fell sharply from a high of $3,898 million for FY1996to a low of $664 million for FY2000 as closure and realignment wound down. (4) Thecost of environmental remediation contributed to a $1,024 million FY2001 BRACappropriation, of which $865 million was dedicated to base environmental cleanup.
Members of the Senate Appropriations and Armed Services Committees, in hearings held a few days after the submission of the President's amended FY2002budget request, noted that Department of Defense had requested only $532 millionin BRAC funds at a time when the Navy and Air Force had announced a combinedshortfall of between $140 million and $150 million in immediate BRAC cleanupneeds. (5) DOD witnesses responded by indicating thatthe request would be sufficientfor upcoming requirements, explaining that the shortfall estimates had been based ona set of assumptions that were no longer thought to be accurate.
The upturn in expenditures had come about through recent legal requirements and agreements between the services and local communities. DOD expected theinsufficiency to be satisfied through transfers of unused funds from other accountsand by adjustments in the end-use of some property that would significantly reducethe cost of needed remediation. The passed bill added more than $100 million inBRAC funds to the request, primarily for remediation of the environmental impactof the 1995 round of base realignments and closures.
The Efficient Facilities Initiative (EFI). The Efficient Facilities Initiative (EFI) was announced by theDepartment of Defense on August 2, and the Department's General Counselsubmitted proposed legislation to Congress on August 3. The EFI includes threemajor actions: the potential realignment and closure of U.S. military installationsoverseas; the potential realignment and closure of installations within the UnitedStates; and the permanent authorization of the Brooks Air Force Base DevelopmentDemonstration Project, expanded to include all military services.
In support of the first action, the Secretary of Defense has instructed the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to undertake a thorough assessment of alloverseas military installations based on the results of the upcoming QuadrennialDefense Review (QDR). His recommendations on the retention, realignment orclosing of bases are due to the Secretary six months after the completion of the QDR.
In support of the second action, the Secretary will likewise use the results of the QDR to generate a list of recommended actions regarding the future of militaryinstallations within the United States and its territories. The proposed legislationsuggests the establishment of a review commission and a process for endorsing theSecretary's recommendations for submission to the President and Congress. Both ofthese differ somewhat from the BRAC process of the 1990s. (6)
For an understanding of the third action, one must look to recent activity at Brooks Air Force Base, Texas. The Brooks Air Force Base DevelopmentDemonstration Project (also known as the "Base Efficiency Project," or the "BrooksCity-Base Project") is a partnership between the Secretary of the Air Force and theCity of San Antonio, Texas, and represents an alternative to traditional base closingsor realignments. Congress has authorized the Secretary to "convert any military orcivil service appropriated or non-appropriated fund activity at Brooks Air Force Base,Texas, into a contracted activity or an exchange of services compensated for by thelease, sale, conveyance, or transfer of real or private property." (7) This has empoweredthe Secretary to convey, in exchange for appropriate compensation, the whole ofFederal real property at Brooks to the city and to lease back for military use thoseparts which directly support the base's military mission. (8) The cost of maintainingand operating the facility's physical plant, including fire and police protection,upkeep, and the like, is effectively transferred along with ownership from theDepartment of Defense to the local community. Funds generated from the lease orsale of property, reimbursements, and so on, is placed in a special Project Fund,which the Secretary of the Air Force may employ for operations, leaseback,maintenance and repair of Department facilities, and other uses at Brooks. (9)
EFI proponents have maintained that conducting a single definitive round of base closures and realignments could relieve communities of uncertainty about theirfuture. Proponents further contend that a review commission with restricted abilityto change the Secretary of Defense's recommendations might reduce the potential forpolitics to influence its outcome; and that joining the military departments with localand state governments and private enterprise could significantly reduce the need formilitary construction and defense appropriations. Critics, though, have suggestedthat the selection of the commission's members and the method used for creating thelist of recommendations may actually repoliticize the BRAC process, and haveasserted that benefits to the defense budget accrued to date from the Brooks projectare hypothetical.
Real Property Costs, the Broader Picture. With military construction comes maintenance. Plantmaintenance, adequately funded and conscientiously carried out, preventsdeterioration and reduces the need for replacement. As a facility ages, though, ittends to demand greater effort and expense to maintain it in usable condition.Inadequate maintenance accelerates facility deterioration, requiring early demolitionand replacement. Construction and maintenance, therefore, are closely related, andthe effort expended on one will have a direct effect on the other.
Much of the funding for"real property maintenance" (RPM) is contained within the Operations and Maintenance function of the Defense budget, which falls withinthe jurisdiction of the Defense Subcommittees of the Appropriations Committees. (10) Figure 3 gives a graphic representation of the relative sizes of the MilitaryConstruction and RPM appropriations for FY2001.
RPM funding includes not only repairs and maintenance for existing structures, but also "minor construction" (projects whose costs do not exceed $500,000). TheFY2001 Defense budget request included $5,325.6 million for real propertymaintenance and repair and $251.1 million for minor construction. Even that totaldoes not capture the full cost incurred in maintaining DOD real property. To gain amore complete picture, one should add items not easily broken out from the generalbudget submission, such as the pay and benefits of military personnel assigned toRPM activities (installation maintenance, for example), projects financed throughDOD Working Capital Funds, and construction supported through DOD Research,Development, Test and Evaluation (RDT&E) appropriations. (11) Therefore, the finalcost to the Department of Defense of building, maintaining, and operating itsholdings in real property is extremely difficult to capture in its entirety.
Conflicting Priorities and Construction Funding. Overall Administration proposals for military constructionfunding have fallen in nearly every year since the mid-1980s. Nevertheless, until themid-1990s, Congress consistently granted significantly less budget authority to theDepartment of Defense than had been requested by the Administration (see Figure4 ).
This pattern of partial funding reversed with the FY1995 budget. The Administration's FY1994 Military Construction budget request was $4,007 million,while Congress authorized $3,787.9 million. (12) The FY1995 request fell to $2,240.2million, to which Congress added $431.9 million. (13) Every year since then, Congresshas added significant amounts to the Administration requests, countering whatMembers have termed "inadequate" funding for military construction.
Three related explanations have been given for recent congressional actions. First, some Members of the military construction subcommittees have argued thatmilitary construction has been chronically underfunded. This viewpoint wasreiterated in hearings on the FY2001 and 2002 budgets and the reports from theHouse Appropriations Committee and the defense authorizing committees on billsfor FY1998-2000.
Second, Congress often has different priorities than the Administration, as reflected in frequent congressional cuts to overseas construction requests andcontributions to the NATO Security Investment Program and its predecessor, theNATO Infrastructure Program (see Figure 5 ). (14)
Third, although Congress has found the President's overall requests for militaryconstruction insufficient, Members have deemed DOD treatment of the Army andAir National Guard and the federal reserves particularly so. (15) Until the late 1980s,the amount of military construction funds appropriated by Congress for the Guardand Reserve rose steadily, closely matching the amounts requested by DOD. ForFY1989, though, the Administration requested $472.9 million in militaryconstruction for the Guard and Reserve, a decrease of $106.4 million from theprevious year. Congress responded by appropriating $605.1 million. Senator Bondcommented during floor debate on FY1996 military construction appropriations thatMembers believed that the Pentagon artificially lowered the amount of budgetauthority requested, counting on Congress to add money to Guard and Reserveprograms. Since FY1989, Congress has consistently appropriated more than theAdministration request, and the gap between request and enactment has grownconsiderably. (See Figure 1 and Table 5 .)
section_title: Major Funding Trends
paragraphs: Requested military construction funds declined steadily from a high of $7.2billion for FY1985 to a low of $1.6 billion for FY2000. Enacted funding similarlydeclined, though at a slower rate, from a level of $5.5 billion to a low of $2.7 billionfor FY1995. Since then, though, enactments have risen steadily, reflecting thedivergence from presidential requests, reaching $5.4 billion for FY2001, well abovethe Administration request of $4.6 billion. The amended Administration request forFY2002 of $5.4 billion was increased by Congress to $5.9 billion. (16)
