October 1, 2007, through September 30, 2008. Functional areas include the pay, allowances, and support of military personnel, operation and maintenance of the forces, procurement of equipment and systems, and research, development, test and evaluation. Appropriations for foreign military assistance, military construction, family housing, nuclear weapons programs, and civil defense are provided in other bills. Hearings The Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense began hearings on February 28, 2007, and concluded them on May 16, 2007, after 10 separate sessions. The subcommittee heard testimony from representatives of the Department of Defense, other Federal agencies, representatives of organizations, and the public. Summary of the Bill The Committee recommendation of $448,673,500,000 includes funding to develop, maintain, and equip the military forces of the United States. The fiscal year 2008 budget request for activities funded in the Department of Defense Appropriations bill totals $598,320,329,000 in new budget authority including $146,098,029,000 in contingency funding and $262,500,000 in mandatory spending. In fiscal year 2007, the Congress appropriated $573,493,020,000 for activities funded in this bill. This amount includes $405,099,350,000 in non-emergency appropriations and $168,393,670,000 in emergency supplemental appropriations. Excluding supplemental and additional appropriations, the adjusted Committee recommendation in this bill is $43,222,521,000 above the amount provided in fiscal year 2007 and $3,548,800,000 below the amount requested for fiscal year 2008.

TRANSPARENCY IN CONGRESSIONAL DIRECTIVES On August 2, 2007, the Congress passed S. 1, The Honest Leadership and Open Government Act of 2007. While the Congress awaited enactment of this legislation, the Chairman and Ranking Member of the Committee issued interim requirements to ensure that the goals of S. 1 were in place for the appropriations bills for fiscal year 2008. The Constitution vests in the Congress the power of the purse. The Committee believes strongly that Congress should make the decisions on how to allocate the people's money. In order to improve transparency and accountability in the process of approving congressionally directed spending (as defined in S. 1) in appropriations measures, each Committee report includes the name of the Member(s) making the request for each congressionally directed spending item, commonly referred to as earmarks. As defined in S. 1, the term ``congressional directed spending item'' means a provision or report language included primarily at the request of a Senator, providing, authorizing, or recommending a specific amount of discretionary budget authority, credit authority, or other spending authority for a contract, loan, loan guarantee, grant, loan authority, or other expenditure with or to an entity, or targeted to a specific State, locality or Congressional district, other than through a statutory or administrative, formula-driven, or competitive award process. For each item, a Member is required to provide a certification that neither the Member nor the Senator's immediate family has a pecuniary interest in such earmark. Such certifications are available to the public on appropriations.Senate.gov/Senators.cfm. In disclosing earmarks, the Committee has gone beyond the definition adopted by the Congress in S. 1. Most of the items for which the Committee is recommending funds in this bill would not meet the definition under S.1 because they were not included for specific entities or localities, or primarily at the request of a Senator. However, consistent with the approach taken by the House in H.R. 3222 for defense programs, the Committee has chosen to identify every item in this measure for which funding is recommended that was requested by one or more Senators even when it is clear that the funds are not specifically targeted to a single entity or location. COMMITTEE INITIATIVES In addition to earmarks, the Committee recommends funds for several initiatives which were not included in response to a request from a specific member. The items in this category are for programs, projects, or activities which the Committee believes are of inherent value for national defense. In several cases funds are restored for programs which were included in previous plans for the Defense Department and many others are for programs which the Committee believes are necessary to improve defense even though they have not been included under the request formulated by the administration. The initiatives in this category include increases for training ranges, space situational awareness, university research, nanotechnology research, alternative energy, and environmental remediation. Most projects include funding in several programs and across all services. INCREASING COMBAT CAPABILITY The fiscal year 2008 budget request includes approximately $9,279,000,000 to increase the size of the Army and Marine Corps. Over the next 6 years, the Army plans to add 65,000 soldiers, growing the force to 48 Brigade Combat Teams [BCTs] from the current level of 42 BCTs. The Army Guard and Reserve will also increase by 9,200 soldiers. The Marine Corps will add 27,000 marines to fill out the third Marine Expeditionary Force. These initiatives will enhance warfighting capabilities, fill high-demand skills, and enable the services to increase the time at home station between deployments for soldiers and .mMarines. The Committee supports these important measures. Since the budget was submitted, Army and Marine Corps personnel have worked with the Committee staff to more clearly define near-term needs and priorities. As a result, some funding realignments between appropriations and budget lines have been identified. These realignments are reflected in the tables of adjustments as ``Grow the Force Transfers.''

TITLE I MILITARY PERSONNEL Funds appropriated under this title provide the resources required for basic pay, retired pay accrual, employers' contribution for Social Security taxes, basic allowance for subsistence, basic allowance for housing, special and incentive pays, permanent change of station travel, and other personnel costs for uniformed members of the Armed Forces. The President's fiscal year 2008 budget requests a total of $105,403,698,000 for military personnel appropriations. This request funds an Active component end strength of 1,326,400 and a Reserve component end strength of 837,900. SUMMARY OF COMMITTEE ACTION The Committee recommends military personnel appropriations totaling $105,522,341,000 for fiscal year 2008. This is $118,643,000 above the budget estimate. The Committee recommends funding an Active component end strength of 1,371,400 for fiscal year 2008, an increase of 45,000 above the budget estimate. The Committee recommends funding a Reserve component end strength of 837,900 for fiscal year 2008, the same as the budget estimate. Committee recommended military personnel appropriations for fiscal year 2008 are summarized below: SUMMARY OF MILITARY PERSONNEL APPROPRIATIONS [In thousands of dollars] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Change from Account 2008 budget Committee budget estimate recommendation estimate ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Military Personnel: Army........................................................ 31,623,865 31,734,076 +110,211 Navy........................................................ 23,305,233 23,338,772 +33,539 Marine Corps................................................ 10,278,031 10,291,831 +13,800 Air Force................................................... 24,097,354 24,155,054 +57,700 Reserve Personnel: Army........................................................ 3,734,620 3,672,440 -62,180 Navy........................................................ 1,797,685 1,801,985 +4,300 Marine Corps................................................ 594,872 595,372 +500 Air Force................................................... 1,370,479 1,368,897 -1,582 National Guard Personnel: Army........................................................ 5,959,149 5,947,354 -11,795 Air Force................................................... 2,642,410 2,616,560 -25,850 ----------------------------------------------- Total..................................................... 105,403,698 105,522,341 +118,643 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Committee recommended end strengths for fiscal year 2008 are summarized below: RECOMMENDED END STRENGTH ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2007 2008 budget Committee Change from Item authorization estimate recommendation budget estimate ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Active: Army................................ 512,400 489,400 525,400 +36,000 Navy................................ 340,700 328,400 328,400 ................

Significant features of the budget request include the following: Active Component End Strength.--The Committee supports the Active Component end strength levels as recommended in S. 1547, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008. For the Army, this includes an end strength increase of 13,000 above the fiscal year 2007 authorized level and 36,000 above the President's request for a total end strength of 525,400. For the Marine Corps, this includes an end strength increase of 9,000 above the fiscal year 2007 authorized level and the President's request for a total end strength of 189,000. These increases support Defense Department plans to grow Army and Marine Corps forces to better sustain operational tempo and relieve strain on current units. The Committee also supports Navy and Air Force requested end strength reductions of 12,300 for the Navy for a total end strength of 328,400 and 5,600 for the Air Force for a total end strength of 328,600. Reserve and Guard End Strength.--The Committee supports the Selected Reserve end strength levels as requested in the President's budget and as recommended by S. 1547, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008. For the Army Reserve, this includes an end strength increase of 5,000 above the fiscal year 2007 authorized level for a total end strength of 205,000. For the Army Guard, this includes an end strength increase of 1,300 above the fiscal year 2007 authorized level for a total end strength of 351,300. These increases support Department of Defense plans to grow Army Reserve and Army Guard forces in an effort to reduce the frequency of mobilizations for reserve personnel. Consistent with active duty Navy and Air Force manpower reductions, the budget requests 3,500 fewer reservists for the Navy Reserve, 7,400 fewer reservists for the Air Force Reserve, and an end strength reduction of 300 for the Air National Guard. The Committee supports these adjustments. Pay Raise.--The Committee has included funding to support a 3.5 percent increase in basic pay effective January 1, 2008 for all military personnel. This increase is consistent with S. 1547, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008, and is 0.5 percent above the budget request. Recruiting and Retention.--The Committee is aware of the challenges faced by the services in recruiting and retaining quality personnel and is pleased that many services have improved recruiting efforts and continue to meet retention goals. However, some components have significant recruiting and retention challenges ahead due largely to the Army and Marine Corps initiatives to increase their end strength. In addition to proposed end strength increases, the Army has a significant shortage of mid-level officers and must continue to retain mid-level enlisted personnel under strain from the high operational tempo. These soldiers, with years of experience, play a vital role in the daily operations of the Army at home and in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Committee urges the Army to continue to focus on mid-level officer and enlisted retention. Despite recent improved recruiting efforts, the Army Reserve continues to fall short of its annual recruiting goals and will finish fiscal year 2007 significantly under the authorized end strength level. While the Committee is hopeful that recently implemented recruiting initiatives will continue to improve the Army Reserve's recruiting efforts, the Committee urges the active duty Army and Army Reserve to reassess the efficacy of the unified recruiting command in fulfilling the recruiting needs of the Army Reserve. In recent years, the Navy Reserve has also fallen short of its recruiting and retention goals, but additional funding redirected to these efforts is helping the Navy Reserve fulfill its recruiting and retention mission. The Committee notes with concern that the fiscal year 2008 budget request funds recruiting and retention programs at significantly lower levels than are being spent in fiscal year 2007. Therefore, to continue the Navy Reserve's recruiting and retention gains, the Committee has realigned funding within the Navy Reserve account to focus on recruiting and retention efforts. Reserve Component Budget Structure.--In fiscal year 2007, Congress extended testing of a consolidated budget structure for the reserve component's military personnel accounts. The Committee recognizes the advantages of the single budget activity format in providing additional spending flexibility to the reserve components. This flexibility is particularly helpful in allowing the reserve components to respond to evolving mobilization and training needs resulting from operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. Therefore, the Committee supports continuing the consolidated budget structure test for an additional year, with the understanding that the Department will submit a semi-annual detailed report of internal reprogramming action similar to the report provided in fiscal years 2006 and 2007, and that the reserve components will keep the congressional defense committees apprised of any significant financial issues that may develop between reports. Reports shall be submitted 30 days following the end of the second quarter and the fiscal year. The Committee notes, however, that since the creation of the consolidated budget structure, significant internal realignments have occurred within the reserve components' personnel accounts. The Committee urges the reserve components to submit future year budgets that are more closely aligned with recent spending patterns. For fiscal year 2008, the Committee has shifted funding from activities where requested funding was significantly above recent spending levels to other activities within the same account where additional funding needs were identified. Families First.--The Committee is supportive of the Families First initiative, a program intended to improve the quality of service provided to military personnel and their families during permanent change of station moves. However, the Department of Defense has not provided the services with adequate guidance on how to budget for the increased moving costs resulting from the fiscal year 2008 implementation of Families First. The Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to work with the services to provide more detailed guidance on the costs associated with Families First and to submit a report to the congressional defense committees detailing the projected annual costs, by service and appropriations account, of implementing Families First in fiscal year 2008 and through the Future Years Defense Plan [FYDP]. The report shall also specify which portions of the Permanent Change of Station budget activity are likely to experience cost increases due to implementation of the initiative. This report shall be submitted by February 15, 2008. Authorized End Strength.--A Government Accountability Office [GAO] comparison of current personnel strength projections versus those included in the fiscal year 2008 budget request indicates that the active duty Navy and Army Reserve should have fewer service members in fiscal year 2008 than budgeted. Since less funding is required in these accounts, the Committee recommends a reduction of $23,761,000 for Military Personnel, Navy and $60,170,000 for Reserve Personnel, Army. Unobligated Balances.--While the services have made significant progress in reducing the percentage of unobligated funds remaining within their military personnel accounts, a GAO analysis of past year obligation rates continues to show a trend of underexecution for some components. Therefore, the Committee has determined that some active duty and reserve components' fiscal year 2008 military personnel budget requests are overstated and can be reduced. Thus, the Committee recommends a reduction of $90,300,000 to the military personnel accounts.

These funds are used to purchase fuel and spare parts for training operations, pay supporting civilian personnel, and purchase supplies, equipment, and service contracts for the repair of weapons and facilities. The President's fiscal year 2008 budget requests a total of $142,854,017,000 for operation and maintenance appropriations. SUMMARY OF COMMITTEE ACTION The Committee recommends operation and maintenance appropriations totaling $141,885,275,000 for fiscal year 2008. This is $968,742,000 below the budget estimate. Committee recommended operation and maintenance appropriations for fiscal year 2008 are summarized below: SUMMARY OF OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE APPROPRIATIONS [In thousands of dollars] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Change from Account 2008 budget Committee budget estimate recommendation estimate ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Operation and Maintenance: Army........................................................ 28,924,973 28,598,563 -326,410 Navy........................................................ 33,334,690 33,150,380 -184,310 Marine Corps................................................ 4,961,393 5,061,649 +100,256 Air Force................................................... 33,655,633 32,599,333 -1,056,300 Defense-Wide................................................ 22,574,278 22,445,227 -129,051 Army Reserve................................................ 2,508,062 2,510,286 +2,224 Navy Reserve................................................ 1,186,883 1,187,151 +268 Marine Corps Reserve........................................ 208,637 208,688 +51 Air Force Reserve........................................... 2,692,077 2,816,103 +124,026 Army National Guard......................................... 5,840,209 5,800,933 -39,276 Air National Guard.......................................... 5,041,965 5,471,745 +429,780 Overseas Contingency Operations Transfer Account................ 5,000 .............. -5,000 U.S. Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces...................... 11,971 11,971 ..............

Since funding is distributed among all services and multiple budget lines, it is difficult to track program increases and decreases for each of the combatant commanders from year to year. In order to increase the visibility of this funding, the Committee directs the Services to provide greater detail supporting combatant commander funding requests on the reconciliation of increases and decreases on the OP-5 budget exhibit. Pay Raise.--The Committee has included funding to support a 3.5 percent increase in basic pay effective January 1, 2008 for all civilian personnel. This increase is consistent with S. 1547, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008, and is 0.5 percent above the budget request. Government Accountability Office Study of A-76 Competitions.--It has been brought to the Committee's attention that government civilians may be unfairly disadvantaged in A-76 outsourcing competitions by including the cost of their retirement in comparison to that of the private sector competitors. The Committee requests that the Government Accountability Office produce a report reviewing recent A-76 competitions, provide an assessment of whether or not this bias exists, and whether or not it has been a key factor in determining the outcome of the competition. This report should be submitted to the congressional defense committees not later than March 15, 2008.

Since it considered the reductions as one-time costs, the budget lines that took reductions in fiscal year 2007 have major increases in fiscal year 2008 in order to restore the baseline in each account. Funding for Budget Activity 4, Administration and Service-wide Activities, was reduced by 6 percent in realignments to Base Operating Support in fiscal year 2007 but then received a 23 percent increase in fiscal year 2008. The Committee believes the fiscal year 2008 increase is in excess to the Army's baseline needs and recommends a reduction of $236,059,000.

Considering that the number of homeported ships maintained decreases by eight in the same time period, the Committee recommends a reduction of $50,000,000 to this line item. This reduction is directed to be taken only from those Regional Maintenance Centers that have projected program growth in fiscal year 2008. Surveillance Towed Array Sensor System [SURTASS].--The Committee is concerned about the risks associated with the schedule proposed by the Navy to retire the R/V CORY CHOUEST in favor of a newly retrofitted Compact Low Frequency Array [CLFA] support vessel. Accordingly, the Committee urges the Navy to take the necessary steps to assure continuation of R/V CORY CHOUEST operations in the event the alternative ship cannot be turned over for Fleet operations as scheduled. Naval Shipyard Apprentice Program.--The Committee directs that during fiscal year 2008 the Navy shall induct classes of no fewer than 100 apprentices, respectively, at each of the naval shipyards. The Committee further directs the Navy to include the costs of the fiscal year 2009 class of apprentices in its budget request. U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps.--The Committee recommends an increase of $300,000 for the U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps. The amount provided is in addition to $1,700,000 currently budgeted for the program. The Committee commends the Navy for providing funding for this program in the baseline budget and directs that no less than $2,000,000 be made available for the U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps in fiscal year 2008. The Committee further encourages the Navy to fund the program at not less than $2,000,000 in future budget submissions.

The Committee commends the Air Force's efforts to create efficiencies and cost savings in its operating accounts, but remains concerned about several aspects of the CAM program. The Committee is particularly concerned that consolidation of reserve component resources in an active Air Force account will severely limit the ability of reserve component commanders to execute their Title X responsibilities for providing fully trained and equipped units to the combatant commanders. The CAM program, as proposed by the Air Force, would limit the flexibility of reserve commanders to fund requirements as they emerge during the year of execution or to transfer funds between different platforms or missions. The program would also limit the ability of the congressional oversight committees to evaluate reserve component resource and readiness requirements. Because of these concerns, the Committee recommends transferring funding back to the Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve operation and maintenance accounts from the active Air Force. 36th Rescue Flight.--The Committee encourages the Air Force to provide the funding required to continue the unit known as the 36th Rescue Flight assigned to Fairchild Air Force Base during fiscal year 2008.

The Committee understands that this limited authority was designed as a pilot project to enhance our ongoing programs to train and equip allied nations' counterterrorism efforts. The Committee notes that the Department of State normally is tasked to perform this critical function, but that the Department of Defense requested the ability to augment these efforts due to the global war on terror. The Committee is strongly in favor of increasing our counterterrorism efforts around the globe but believes the responsibility to train and equip foreign military forces should rest with the Department of State. The Committee reluctantly supports the Defense Department's request during fiscal year 2008, and firmly believes that the Administration should request funds for this purpose in the Department of State's budget when this authority expires at the end of fiscal year 2008. Legacy Resource Management Program.--The Committee encourages the Department to allocate sufficient funds for naval archeology programs in the Lake Champlain Basin. The Committee also encourages these Lake Champlain activities to expand to complete an underwater survey of the lake, as well as the development of a management protocol for French and British military vessels resting at the bottom of Lake Champlain. National Job Corps Association.--The Committee encourages the Department of Defense to work in collaboration with the operators of the Job Corps centers that offer military preparation programs to provide curriculum input and modifications. The Department is also encouraged to work with the Office of Job Corps to develop an evaluation tool to measure success in existing military preparation courses.

TITLE III PROCUREMENT Funds appropriated under this title provide the resources required to purchase military equipment and hardware, including aircraft, helicopters, ships, missiles, combat vehicles, ammunition, weapons, electronic sensors and communications equipment, and other procurement items. The President's fiscal year 2008 budget requests a total of $99,623,010,000 for procurement appropriations. SUMMARY OF COMMITTEE ACTION The Committee recommends procurement appropriations totaling $98,224,583,000 for fiscal year 2008. This is $1,398,427,000 below the budget estimate. Committee recommended procurement appropriations for fiscal year 2008 are summarized below: SUMMARY OF PROCUREMENT APPROPRIATIONS [In thousands of dollars] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Change from Account 2008 budget Committee budget estimate recommendation estimate ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Aircraft Procurement, Army...................................... 4,179,848 4,273,998 +94,150 Missile Procurement, Army....................................... 1,645,485 1,756,979 +111,494 Procurement of Weapons and Tracked Combat Vehicles, Army........ 3,089,998 3,122,889 +32,891 Procurement of Ammunition, Army................................. 2,190,576 2,208,976 +18,400 Other Procurement, Army......................................... 12,647,099 11,697,265 -949,834 Aircraft Procurement, Navy...................................... 12,747,767 12,599,744 -148,023 Weapons Procurement, Navy....................................... 3,084,387 3,094,687 +10,300 Procurement of Ammunition, Navy and Marine Corps................ 760,484 1,058,832 +298,348 Shipbuilding and Conversion, Navy............................... 13,656,120 13,205,438 -450,682 Other Procurement, Navy......................................... 5,470,412 5,376,530 -93,882 Procurement, Marine Corps....................................... 2,999,057 2,091,897 -907,160 Aircraft Procurement, Air Force................................. 12,393,270 12,133,900 -259,370 Missile Procurement, Air Force.................................. 5,131,002 4,920,219 -210,783 Procurement of Ammunition, Air Force............................ 868,917 854,167 -14,750 Other Procurement, Air Force.................................... 15,421,162 15,517,127 +95,965 Procurement, Defense-Wide....................................... 3,318,834 3,246,843 -71,991 National Guard and Reserve Equipment............................ .............. 1,000,000 +1,000,000 Defense Production Act Purchases................................ 18,592 65,092 +46,500 ----------------------------------------------- Total..................................................... 99,623,010 98,224,583 -1,398,427 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS Based on a careful review of the Department's budget request, the Committee has recommended funding adjustments, shown in tables for each appropriation account. The Committee recognizes that the demands of growing the military forces, equipping a modular Army structure, sustaining training and resetting units returning from operations in Iraq and Afghanistan have increased the need for new and modern equipment. In fiscal year 2008, the equipment requirements tied directly to continuing combat operations overseas will be considered in separate legislation. Whether maintaining the peacetime force or supporting operations overseas, the Committee expects the budgets to conform to such common sense rules as budgeting to the most likely cost of the program and not requesting funds ahead of need. Some of the adjustments recommended by the Committee bring the budget into compliance with those fundamental guidelines. Other adjustments include adding funds to reflect congressional priorities, correcting shortfalls, and implementing the recommendations in S. 1547, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008. The Committee directs that the funding increases outlined in these tables shall be provided only for the specific purposes indicated in the table. Procurement Overview National Guard Procurement.--The Committee is concerned that procurement funding and equipment designated for the National Guard could be diverted to other budget areas and non- National Guard units. The Committee notes that substantial shortfalls still exist in National Guard equipment stocks, threatening the force's dual-role mission to supplement active duty forces abroad and respond to emergencies at home. Therefore, the Department of Defense shall report to the Committee no later than 9 months after the passage of this Act on how it has obligated funds and provided equipment designated for the National Guard in the budget and accompanying justification materials. Military Tires.--Following the direction in the Base Realignment and Closure Act of 2005, the Department of Defense has implemented the Tire Commodity Management Privatization Initiative. This program moved responsibility for the supply, storage and distribution for all tires used by the Department of Defense from the Defense Logistics Agency to a contractor. This contractor is in charge of procuring and distributing all ground and air military tires worldwide for the Department of Defense and the individual services. The Committee is concerned that the Department ensures that the military tire market remains a fair and competitive marketplace. The Committee is pleased that the Department of Defense has taken steps to dramatically lower costs and streamline the process of getting tires to the warfighter. However, it is the Committee's firm belief that the Department should administer these contracts in a manner that maintains the U.S. industrial base for military tire manufacturing and future innovation as well as to preserve competitive procurement for current and future requirements for the Department. There is concern that the contractor acting as the inventory control point may be placed in an advantageous position in competition for the Department's tire contracts. To alleviate those concerns, the Defense Logistics Agency shall ensure that all tire manufacturers are on an equal footing in the competitive market with respect to information on tire demand and that, to the extent practicable under the existing contracts, new tire types are subject to fair and equal competition among qualified manufacturers. This responsibility includes: ensuring that all tire manufacturers have equal information about the Government's needs for existing tire types; requiring that, to the extent practicable under the existing contracts, new tire contracts are awarded through fair and equal opportunity competitions among qualified manufacturers; and lastly monitoring the contracts in an open and transparent way to all manufacturers so that the existing contract minimum share guarantees designed to protect the industrial base are enforced.

The Committee recognizes the need to replace the aging and battle-worn Kiowa Warrior fleet, and supports the Army's efforts to work with the contractor to correct the problems with the ARH program. The Committee supports the Army's request to transfer funds to additional ARH research and development and the sustainment of the Kiowa Warrior. However, there still remain significant risks in this schedule-driven program despite its restructure. For example, the Committee was notified on September 11, 2007, of a Nunn- McCurdy breach due to an increase of 20.3 percent in the Program Acquisition Unit Cost and an increase of 18.5 percent in the Average Procurement Unit Cost. Due to cost and schedule growth and the continuing program risks, the Committee recommends $242,259,000 for procurement of ARH. The recommended level would provide funds for 16 aircraft to reflect a more reasonable production rate.

For target acquisition, the missile is complemented by a reusable Command Launch Unit [CLU] that can additionally provide stand-alone surveillance capability. The fiscal year 2008 budget request includes $54,492,000 for the procurement of 385 Javelin all up missile rounds. The Committee has fully funded this request and directs the Army to execute these funds solely for the purpose for which they were appropriated. The Committee notes that the fiscal year 2008 request for Grow the Force buys out the entire CLU requirement for the standup of six additional Infantry Brigade Combat Teams [IBCTs] over the next 4 years. The Committee denies the requested CLU funding for one IBCT as ahead of need. PATRIOT Advanced Capability-3 [PAC-3] Pure Fleet Initiative.--The PAC-3 is the Army's only deployed land-based air and missile defense system capable of countering multiple missile threats in all weather environments, thereby providing enhanced force protection for deployed units. However, the current force structure includes three lesser-capable PAC-2 battalions. In fiscal year 2007 and in fiscal year 2008, the Chief of Staff of the Army listed the upgrade of these PAC-2 battalions to the PAC-3 capability among his highest unfunded priorities. In addition to $212,000,000 previously provided for the conversion of the first PAC-2 battalion, the Committee provides $208,000,000 in fiscal year 2008 solely for the conversion of the remaining two PAC-2 battalions, thereby fully funding the complete PAC-3 Pure Fleet upgrade requirement.

Spider is designed to replace indiscriminate, victim-triggered anti-personnel landmine systems. The Committee supports a man-in-the-loop system in which the individual munitions are only activated upon direct command of an operator. The Committee continues to express strong concerns with the so-called ``command activation'' feature, which, if utilized would keep the system operational without a ``man-in-the-loop.'' The Committee has given the Army ample opportunity to explore different approaches to this feature, including the idea of using the latest communications technology to increase the distance at which an operator could activate and control the system. Therefore, the Committee recommends the transfer of $19,688,000 from Other Procurement, Army to Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Army for the development of a follow-on, stand-off capability.

Unfortunately, the production of these aircraft has been challenging. Since the program's inception, it has been restructured four times. The current restructure incorporates a second phase of operational evaluation, and a fourth low-rate initial production lot, while it delays a Milestone C decision to fiscal year 2008. To date, only 6 of the 34 aircraft that are currently on contract have delivered. Thus, there is a large back order of helicopters in production. Therefore, the Committee recommends a reduction of eight aircraft and $77,600,000 in fiscal year 2008. This proposal provides a total of 12 aircraft, which will sustain the H-1 production line in fiscal year 2008. The Committee encourages the Navy to use advance procurement funding for all H-1 aircraft beyond Lot 4. E-2D.--The budget request includes $57,275,000 for the advance procurement of the first three low-rate initial production E-2D Advanced Hawkeye aircraft. The Committee is concerned that the radar--the most integral component of the aircraft--will not be operationally evaluated until the first quarter of fiscal year 2012. The Navy, however, plans to begin procuring aircraft in fiscal year 2009 without significant knowledge of the radar's performance. In addition, based on modeling analysis data, it appears when the radar is locked onto a specific threat, the E-2D cannot continue to monitor the rest of the airspace. As such, the Navy is considering whether it will need to double the number of E-2 aircraft to perform the same mission. The Committee recommends reducing the advance procurement by $18,800,000, a reduction of one aircraft pending the resolution of these issues. Internet Protocol/Bandwidth Expansion [IPBE] for E-6 Aircraft.--The fiscal year 2008 budget requests $85,185,000 for IPBE for the E-6 aircraft. While the Committee is supportive of the command and control upgrades and the capabilities they will provide, it remains concerned with contract award delays, the aggressive phasing of the program, and the program's ability to execute at the current pace. Therefore, the Committee recommends a reduction of $41,000,000 for the IPBE program. This reduces the production kit buys and installations in fiscal year 2008 to a more reasonable rate.

The Committee, however, has serious concerns with the Navy's ability to deliver on the current shipbuilding program of record. The Navy's track record for building ships on time and on budget has not been good. The Government Accountability Office [GAO] has recently pointed out that the ships under construction at the beginning of the current fiscal year have experienced cumulative cost growth of almost $5,000,000,000 above their original budgets. Significant cost growth, schedule delay, or both have occurred in the LPD-17 program, Littoral Combat Ship [LCS] program, the T-AKE program, as well as the next-generation destroyer and aircraft carrier programs. While supportive of additional funding for shipbuilding, the Committee is very concerned that accelerating any of the current shipbuilding programs is unexecutable and would have the effect of just ``banking'' funds. Naval shipbuilding has been plagued with too frequent design changes, requirements creep, poor cost estimating, and poor government performance in program management and contractor oversight. Under staffing of critical government oversight funcations has also been a major problem for the Navy. The Committee believes that the acquisition changes proposed by current Navy leadership is movement in the right direction, however, the Committee would like to see some positive results in cost, schedule and performance of the current program of record before supporting significant increases to the shipbuilding account. Littoral Combat Ship [LCS].--The President's budget request included $910,500,000 for the construction of three Littoral Combat Ships. The Committee supports the capability envisioned by the LCS program. The LCS program is extremely important and will provide the Navy with the necessary tools to face the asymmetric threats of the future. The Committee notes that the LCS does not replace a current capability in the fleet but provides a new capability for future commanders. The Committee strongly supports the development of a surface combatant vessel that can be acquired in affordable volume production. The LCS program, planned as a 55 ship class, is an integral component of the Navy's future shipbuilding plan. Unfortunately, the LCS program has been plagued with significant cost growth and schedule slip. Time has shown that the initial acquisition strategy of the LCS was ill-conceived. The short history of the LCS program, as outlined in the report to accompany S. 1547, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008, has been a case study in how not to acquire ships. The Committee has concluded that a fundamental change needs to be made to the current LCS acquisition strategy in order to develop a ship that meets future naval requirements and can be affordably procured. The Committee also believes that the Navy will require additional time to correct the cost, schedule and performance issues with the LCS mission modules and the new start development of a common combat system. Therefore, the Committee makes the following recommendations: --no funding for additional LCS seaframes, a reduction of $910,500,000; --a rescission of $300,000,000 in fiscal year 2007 LCS funding, cancelling LCS-4; --an addition of $75,000,000 in advance procurement funding for one LCS Flight 1 seaframe in fiscal year 2009; and --full funding for the development and construction of LCS 1 and 2. Due to the significant uncertainty surrounding the LCS program, the Committee does not believe that funding for additional seaframes in fiscal year 2008 is justified. The Committee believes that only one ship of each design is required for the Navy to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the competing designs that will result in the down select of one design for the Flight 1 LCS seaframe. The cancellation of LCS-4 will leave the Navy with one ship of each design for operational performance testing by the fleet. The Committee understands that both LCS-1 and LCS-2 will deliver in the third quarter of fiscal year 2008. Upon delivery of both ships, the Navy is directed to proceed with a comprehensive evaluation of both designs as soon as practicable. This will allow the Navy sufficient time to conduct operational performance testing of both ships and make a down-select decision in late fiscal year 2008. The Committee has every confidence that the Secretary of the Navy will ensure that a fair competition takes place between the two ship designs. The Committee further directs the Navy to include in the fiscal year 2009 budget submission a new acquisition strategy for the future procurement of the LCS class. The Committee expects the Navy to proceed with an acquisition strategy that includes a full and open competition for the Flight 1 ships. The Committee further expects the Navy to continue with its plan providing ``contract design packages'' to industry and conducting a new competition for Flight 1 ships. The Committee directs the Navy to include lead and follow shipyards and open this competition to shipyards not currently involved in the LCS program. The Committee also directs the Navy to use fixed priced incentive contracting for all Flight 1 ships.

Due to disruptions in the LCS program, as well as technical challenges to several components of the mission modules, the Committee recommends $15,000,000, a reduction of $65,324,000. The Committee recommended amount provides for one Remote Minehunting Vehicle to maintain production facilities and one Airborne Laser Mine Detection System in anticipation of an accelerated initial operational capability. The Committee urges the Navy to reexamine the future years' schedule for production of mission packages to reflect the delays in the LCS program. Submarine Batteries.--The Committee is concerned about the significant cost growth and schedule overruns for installation of Valve Regulated Lead Acid batteries in Los Angeles, Ohio, and Seawolf class submarines. These problems have required deferral of new procurements to fund redesign efforts, which may yet have further effects on the timely replacement of aging batteries in the fleet. The Committee intends to closely monitor this program to ensure that cost and schedule are brought under control.

In the fiscal year 2007 Aircraft Procurement, Air Force appropriation, the program received $143,615,000 for engineering, equipment and advance procurement funding for three kits. The Air Force delayed execution of these funds by 1 year due to a specialty metal compliance issue yet requested full funding again in the fiscal year 2008 budget. In the interim, cost increases have reportedly prompted the Air Force to re-evaluate the value of upgrading these aging aircraft. The Committee recommends rescinding $40,000,000 of the fiscal year 2007 C-5 Advance Procurement funding as it is no longer required by the program. B-2 Radar Modernization Program.--The B-2 Radar Modernization Program was restructured after submission of the fiscal year 2008 budget request due to technical issues that arose during flight tests. The restructure delays procurement so that additional engineering and testing may be accomplished. In the fiscal year 2007 Aircraft Procurement, Air Force appropriation, the program received $159,000,000 to begin procuring the upgrades. The Committee recommends rescinding $32,000,000 of the fiscal year 2007 funding as it is no longer required for the program. In the fiscal year 2008 request the Committee recommends transferring $38,000,000 to the Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Air Force appropriation for continued radar modernization development and deleting $73,000,000 as excess to the requirement.

Additionally, the JASSM failed four successive flight tests this spring due to failures of the navigation system and problems with the fuze, calling into question the effectiveness of previously funded reliability enhancement efforts. In July, the Air Force received permission from the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics to proceed with a $68,000,000 8-month reliability enhancement program, with the costs to be shared between the Air Force and the contractor. The Committee has reviewed the proposed reliability enhancement program and provides full funding for the Air Force's $30,000,000 share of this program. Additional funding is provided to support a potential June 2008 production award following a successful Nunn-McCurdy recertification. The Committee reduces the remaining requested procurement funding by $67,700,000 for missiles funded ahead of need. The funding provided will allow production to continue without a production break until a fiscal year 2009 contract award. The Committee directs that none of the funds provided in this bill may be obligated for the procurement of missiles in fiscal year 2008 until 10 days after the Committee has been notified by the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics of the results of the Phase I reliability enhancement program and the Nunn-McCurdy recertification. Further, the Committee designates this program as a congressional special interest item for the purpose of reprogramming. Advanced Medium Range Medium Air-to-Air Missile [AMRAAM].-- The fiscal year 2008 budget request includes $224,577,000 in Missile Procurement, Air Force and $87,460,000 in Weapons Procurement, Navy for the procurement of Phase 4 AIM-120D AMRAAMs. This is an increase of $108,333,000, or 53.2 percent, over amounts provided in fiscal year 2007 for a program that is still in its System Development and Demonstration phase. The budget request requires a three-fold increase in monthly production rates. Given past production problems, the Committee questions the wisdom of this drastic increase and recommends funding for a more gradual production ramp increase. The Committee provides $258,137,000 for the procurement of AMRAAMs, an increase of $54,433,000 over amounts provided in fiscal year 2007. ICBM Modernization.--The Committee is aware that the Air Force is implementing a modernization program for the Minuteman III, as directed in section 139 of Public Law 109-364, in order to sustain the deployed force of such missiles through 2030. The Committee is concerned that following the completion of this modernization program, the capability of the defense industrial base to modernize or replace these ICBMs will be severely diminished. The Committee directs the Department of the Air Force to conduct a study on the capability of the defense industrial base to maintain, modernize, and sustain the Minuteman III system until 2030, and on the industrial base's capability to replace the Minuteman III with a follow-on land- based strategic deterrent system after 2030. The report shall be provided to the congressional defense committees not later than March 1, 2008. The study shall include an analysis of the risks associated with not maintaining the defense industrial base capability after completion of the Minuteman III modernization program, and the benefits associated with developing a life extension program for the Minuteman III system similar to the Trident II D5 Service Life Extension Program. Advanced Extremely High Frequency Satellite-4 [AEHF-4].-- The Committee recommends an additional $125,000,000 for the advance procurement of the fourth AEHF satellite and directs the Air Force to fully fund the satellite in the fiscal year 2009 budget request. Space-Based Infrared System [SBIRS] Highly Elliptical Orbit-4 [HEO-4] Advance Procurement.--The Committee strongly supports the Air Force's procurement of the SBIRS HEO payloads three and four. However, based on the current launch schedule, the request for advance procurement of HEO-4 is premature. Therefore, the Committee reduces the fiscal year 2008 budget by $81,000,000 and directs the Air Force to include advance procurement for HEO-4 in the fiscal year 2009 budget request.

The Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to submit a report to the congressional defense committees no later than March 31, 2008, which describes the materials critical to the strategic defense interests of the United States, the domestic suppliers of those materials and their reliance on foreign sources of production, efforts by foreign countries to stockpile critical materials, and the steps that are being taken to ensure that strategic and critical materials not produced domestically will be available to support the defense needs of the United States during a protracted conflict. TITLE IV RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT, TEST AND EVALUATION Funds appropriated under this title provide the resources required to conduct a program of research, development, test and evaluation, including research in basic science, applied research, advanced technology development, demonstration and validation, engineering and manufacturing development, and operational systems development. The President's fiscal year 2008 budget requests a total of $75,117,194,000 for research, development, test and evaluation appropriations. SUMMARY OF COMMITTEE ACTION The Committee recommends research, development, test and evaluation appropriations totaling $75,382,046,000 for fiscal year 2008. This is $264,852,000 above the budget estimate. Committee recommended research, development, test and evaluation appropriations for fiscal year 2008 are summarized below: SUMMARY OF RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT, TEST AND EVALUATION APPROPRIATIONS [In thousands of dollars] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Change from Account 2008 budget Committee budget estimate recommendation estimate ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Research, Development, Test and Evaluation: Army........................................................ 10,589,604 11,355,005 +765,401 Navy........................................................ 17,075,536 17,472,210 +396,674 Air Force................................................... 26,711,940 26,070,841 -641,099 Defense-Wide................................................ 20,559,850 20,303,726 -256,124 Operational Test and Evaluation, Defense........................ 180,264 180,264 .............. ----------------------------------------------- Total..................................................... 75,117,194 75,382,046 +264,852 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS The Committee has displayed recommended adjustments in tables presented under each appropriation account. These adjustments reflect the following Committee actions: elimination of funds requested for programs which are lower priority, duplicative, or not supported by firm requirements in out-year development or procurement appropriations; deletion of excess funds based on program delays or slow execution; addition of funds to reflect congressional priorities and to rectify shortfalls in the budget estimate; and implementation of recommendations in S. 1547, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008. The Committee directs that the funding increases outlined in these tables shall be provided only for the specific purposes indicated in the table. RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT, TEST AND EVALUATION OVERVIEW Research, Development, Test and Evaluation Program Element Codes and Budget Justification Documents.--At the request of Congress, the Government Accountability Office [GAO] recently completed a review of the Defense Department's research, development, test and evaluation [RDT&E] program element code structure and of the RDT&E budget justification documents that are provided annually to Congress in support of the President's budget request. The Committee relies heavily on program element codes and budget justification documents during its budget review and believes that improvements could be made to enhance visibility over the Department's efforts and to provide stronger justification for requested funding. The Committee will work with the Department of Defense to achieve this goal in time for preparation of the fiscal year 2010 budget submission. Areas in need of improvement include, but are not limited to, the correlation of program element codes with the activities funded under the program element; the provision of specific information about activities conducted and accomplishments achieved with prior year funding; information on planned activities and their costs for the budget year at the project level; the improvement of cross references among projects; provision of schedules that identify key events; updates to narratives that reflect prior years' events; and the implementation of a more informative display of programmatic, schedule and budgetary changes. F-35 Joint Strike Fighter.--The Committee is disappointed that the Department of Defense did not continue funding to support the development of an alternative engine for the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter in the fiscal year 2008 budget request. Although the Committee recognizes that the Department of Defense faces difficult budget challenges, the Committee also believes it is premature to cancel the second engine source. Experience with the F-16 Fighter program demonstrated that engine competition led to a more reliable, better performing and lower cost engine. The Committee believes that competition for the F-35 engine is critical to procuring the best value engine at the lowest price and that competition will likely lead to an overall savings across the life cycle of the fighter program. Therefore, the Committee recommends an additional $240,000,000 in both the Navy and Air Force Research, Development, Test and Evaluation accounts. The Committee also directs the Department of Defense to fund the continued development of both engines in future budget submissions. Conventional TRIDENT Missile.--The budget request includes $175,400,000 to develop a prompt global strike capability using existing TRIDENT II (D-5) missiles with conventional payloads. The Committee recommends no funding for that program. Basic issues with the use of the conventional TRIDENT missile remain; these issues include the possibility of misinterpretation as a nuclear missile launch, the effect of diverting strategic system assets for conventional uses and the exposure of strategic submarine locations. As such, the Committee instead recommends funds to consider other options, including land and air-based alternatives. To encourage a different perspective in addressing the problem, the Committee is providing $125,000,000 in the Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Defense-Wide appropriation for prompt global strike. The funds shall be used for engineering and development of alternatives to the conventional TRIDENT missile program. Specific areas of interest include research on re-entry systems (including FALCON CAV, formerly funded through the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency), strategic policy compliance, advanced guidance, navigation and control technologies, weapon system command and control, intermediate range missile concepts, advanced nonnuclear warheads and other mission enabling capabilities that address emerging requirements. Science and Technology.--The Committee notes that the changing warfighting environment requires continued investment in new, forward-looking capabilities. The Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a report to the congressional defense committees that details the Department's mid- and long- term science and technology strategic plans to address the changing threat environment and to ensure that our warfighters continue to maintain the technological edge over our adversaries. The report is due with the fiscal year 2009 budget submission.

Subsequent to the budget submission and following a Nunn-McCurdy breach, the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics certified a restructured WIN-T program consisting of four distinct increments that provide progressively increasing capability. The Committee notes that the Nunn-McCurdy breach was primarily caused by program immaturity, schedule growth, errors in cost estimating assumptions and changes to the acquisition strategy. Yet under the restructured program, WIN-T's two most sophisticated elements--Increment 3, which will provide full networking on the move capability, and Increment 4, which will provide protected networking on the move capability--still lack finalized requirements, technological maturity assessments, and cost estimates. As a result, the Committee is highly concerned that the WIN-T program remains surrounded by programmatic uncertainty, technological challenges, and is at risk for additional cost and schedule growth. Therefore, the Committee finds it premature to triple research, development, test and evaluation funding in fiscal year 2008, as the Army has proposed. The Committee recommendation provides an increase of more than $100,000,000 over amounts provided in fiscal year 2007 and fully funds Increment 2 in support of fielding in fiscal year 2009. The Committee believes that the program's history and remaining issues of concern, coupled with its importance to the Army's current and future force merit an independent review and assessment. Therefore, the Committee directs the Comptroller General to evaluate, assess and report on the WIN-T program and to present its findings to the congressional defense committees no later than June 30, 2008. This report shall include an assessment of the restructured program's ability to address its past problems; its integration and synchronization with the requirements of the Future Combat Systems program; a technology readiness level assessment; an identification of key remaining risks in the program, its acquisition strategy and management structure; accuracy of cost estimates; and other issues the Comptroller General determines are relevant to the future direction of the WIN-T program. MQ-8B Fire Scout Vertical Takeoff Unmanned Aerial Vehicle [VTUAV].--The Army is purchasing Fire Scout VTUAV's to satisfy the requirement for Class IV UAV's under its Future Combat Systems program. The platform is based on the Navy's RQ-8A Fire Scout VTUAV that has completed more than 200 flight tests. The Committee understands that production of at least six Army Fire Scout VTUAV's has been completed, but final flight testing has been delayed until 2010 due to the development of the Future Combat Systems network and delays in the Joint Tactical Radio System program. The Committee is concerned about this program delay when the United States Central Command [CENTCOM] has an urgent requirement for persistent command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance [C4ISR] systems in support of ongoing operations. The Committee, therefore, urges the Secretary of Army to take appropriate actions to field previously produced Army Fire Scout Class IV VTUAV's, with appropriate sensors and communications capabilities and requisite ground control stations, for deployment to the CENTCOM area of operations. Further, the Secretary of the Army is directed to submit a report to the congressional defense committees along with the fiscal year 2009 budget submission that describes progress made toward fielding this capability. XM 982 Excalibur 155mm Precision Guided Extended Range Artillery Projectile.--The fiscal year 2008 request includes $55,950,000 for a third planned increment, Block Ib, to the XM 982 Excalibur projectile. The Committee understands that the fiscal year 2008 acquisition strategy for Excalibur remains to be determined. Therefore, the Committee denies the requested funding for Block Ib at this time without prejudice. The Committee will revisit funding for Excalibur subsequent to the Army's decision on the program's fiscal year 2008 acquisition strategy. General Fund Enterprise Business System [GFEBS].--GFEBS is a commercial-off-the-shelf, web-based enterprise resource planning system designed to enable the Army to share resource management data across the Army. The fiscal year 2008 budget request includes $53,559,000 in Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Army, $39,353,000 in Other Procurement, Army, and $29,822,000 in Operation and Maintenance, Army for a total request of $122,724,000, an increase of $62,273,000 over amounts provided in fiscal year 2007. Subsequent to the budget submission, the Army requested that all funding in Operation and Maintenance, Army, and $29,219,000 of funding in Other Procurement, Army be transferred to the Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Army account due to an exponential growth in requirements. The Committee notes that this program adjustment differs substantially not only from the fiscal year 2008 budget submission, but also from a program adjustment that was briefed to the Committee earlier this year in support of a reprogramming action. The Committee notes further that subsequent to the fiscal year 2007 budget submission, the Army had also requested a realignment of funds included in the budget request. The Committee is deeply concerned with the lack of stable program requirements and the Army's schedule-driven program management. This is particularly troubling in light of the fact that earlier this year, the Army nominated, and the Deputy Secretary of Defense approved, the GFEBS program as a pilot for the Capital Account Pilot Program, which is designed around the concept of program stability. The Committee sees no such stability in the GFEBS program. However, at this point, recognizing the critical importance of improving the Army's resource management system and faced with a lack of alternatives, the Committee supports the requested realignment of fiscal year 2008 funding. The Committee advises the Army that it expects to receive program updates, to include the program's requirements, schedule, status of deliverables, contractor performance and execution of resources not less than every 60 days.

The Committee is concerned that the Air Force will apply taxes to MSSS programs at excessive rates for lab overhead, and directs the Air Force to base its overhead charges only on the amount requested. None of the increases provided here shall be subject to Air Force taxes or withholds. Furthermore, research funds should be allocated by Air Force officials on-site to local programs that offer the greatest potential return and merit. Joint Cargo Aircraft.--The Committee recommends no funding for the Air Force's Joint Cargo Aircraft program and, therefore, reduces the request by $42,368,000. The Air Force has no formal requirement for this aircraft and can execute the light cargo mission with its fleet of C-130 aircraft. If the Department of Defense's Intra-Theater Fleet Mix Analysis, due to be completed in December 2007, concludes that the Joint Cargo Aircraft is an essential capability for the Air Force, the Committee will consider a reprogramming or future request. F-22A.--The budget request for F-22A research and development in fiscal year 2008 is $743,593,000, an increase of $271,118,000 over fiscal year 2007. The Committee believes that it is premature to begin research and development on future increments of modernization efforts beyond the current increment 3.1. The F-22A is the country's pre-eminent fighter aircraft and is decades ahead of our adversary's capabilities. It is unclear why there are such large requests for modernization efforts to an aircraft that is just beginning to be fielded. Thus, the Committee recommends a reduction of $29,900,000 for initiation of the next increment of upgrades and a reduction of $56,300,000 for the Enhanced Stores Management Systems for design work to add new weapons systems. The Committee is also concerned over the growth in lab infrastructure from $52,400,000 in fiscal year 2007 to $92,100,000 in fiscal year 2008 and recommends a reduction of $46,000,000. Space Command and Control Operations.--The Space Command and Control Operations system plans to provide integrated space information and command and control of space forces for the Joint Forces Combatant Commander, Space (U.S. Strategic Command). The fiscal year 2008 budget request includes $8,600,000 for space command and control technology risk reduction and $10,500,000 for the space command and control system itself. The Committee believes the request for the space command and control system is premature since the technology risk reduction efforts have not yet begun and recommends no funds for this purpose. Global Positioning System [GPS] Extension Program.--The GPS Extension program has the potential to provide the warfighter a significant increase in jam-resistant GPS capability and precision navigation and timing enhancements in restricted environments years earlier than currently planned. The Committee is concerned, however, with the Air Force execution of this program and directs that the Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Air Force funding for the GPS Extension program be transferred to the Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Navy appropriation Line 17. Global Positioning System User Equipment.--The Committee recommends a transfer of $63,000,000 from GPS III for GPS User Equipment in order to maintain competition between multiple contractors for GPS handsets. Global Hawk.--The Air Force has underfunded spare parts for the existing Global Hawk assets in order to invest in the next generation of Global Hawk aircraft. The existing assets are being used heavily in theater and are providing tremendous support to the warfighters on the ground. The Committee believes it should be the Air Force's priority to fully fund the operational aircraft to ensure that the few Global Hawk's in the Air Force inventory can be used when needed. Therefore, the Committee transfers $7,000,000 of Air Force research and development funding to the Aircraft Procurement, Air Force account to fully fund spares for the existing Global Hawk aircraft. C-5 Re-Engining Program [RERP].--The Committee recommends a reduction of $25,000,000 for the C-5 RERP program due to instability in the future program plans, cost growth, and inadequate cost estimates for re-engining the C-5 fleet. The goal of the re-engining program is to increase mission availability rates by 10 percent, thereby saving operating and support costs in future years. The program does not extend the life of the aircraft beyond the current structural design. The Air Force is currently analyzing the cost estimates of the RERP program and whether it will actually produce any savings in the out-years. Indeed, the program was recently restructured, adding $224,500,000 in research and development funding from fiscal year 2008 to fiscal year 2012 and 7 months to the system development and demonstration phase of the program. Furthermore, a Milestone C decision is expected in January 2008, and at that time, the Department of Defense will decide the future of the C-5 RERP program. Counter-Man Portable Air Defense Systems [MANPADS] for the Civil Reserve Air Fleet [CRAF].--The Committee is concerned that the CRAF aircraft are not protected from MANPADS, which inhibits their ability to operate efficiently overseas and puts our troops, cargo and CRAF in hazardous operating environments. The Committee directs the Air Force to provide a report to the Defense Appropriations Subcommittees within 30 days of the passage of this act that provides an analysis of putting counter-MANPADS systems on the CRAF aircraft, including a cost estimate and schedule for equipping the fleet. Chinese Rocket Program.--The Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to report to the Committees on Appropriations and Armed Services of the House and Senate within 180 days providing an assessment of the current Chinese rocket program identifying non-Chinese companies which are contracting to use Chinese launch vehicles. SATELLITE PROGRAMS The Committee is concerned with the Department of Defense's current strategy for managing satellite programs. The Committee finds that the Defense Department is too eager to reach for challenging technological advances while forgoing ongoing programs. As satellite systems are on the verge of recovering after years of technical challenges and significant cost growth, the Department reduces its plans and seeks to begin new more complex replacements for these systems that have not yet been launched. While the Committee commends the Air Force's new block upgrade approach to the next generation systems, it still believes that the current strategy is unaffordable, unjustifiably risky, and increases instability in the industrial base. By cutting off the current satellite programs and moving to the next generation of unproven technologies, the Department of Defense puts at risk essential military and national capabilities, such as communications, positioning, precision timing and navigation, and missile warning. Therefore, the Committee recommends several adjustments to the satellite programs described further below. Global Positioning System.--In fiscal year 2007, the Global Positioning System IIF program was curtailed from 15 to 12 satellites after experiencing technical and cost challenges and will be replaced by GPS III earlier than originally planned. While GPS III promises to bring additional capability to the warfighter with an incremental upgrade approach, it will require the development of a completely new satellite with unknown costs. The third block upgrade will be particularly challenging to produce. The Committee believes the request for GPS III is premature based on the current schedule of the GPS IIR-M launches, the GPS IIF procurement and launch schedule, and the capability of the current GPS constellation to last longer than its original design life. Therefore, the Committee recommends a reduction of $150,000,000 from GPS III development activities. Of this reduction, $63,000,000 shall be transferred to GPS User Equipment. Communication Satellites.--The Air Force is currently producing, but has not yet launched, the first Advanced Extremely High Frequency [AEHF] satellite. After many delays and significant cost growth, AEHF seems to have finally resolved its technical and engineering challenges. Because of the earlier challenges, the AEHF program was reduced to a constellation of three satellites in December 2002 in order to accelerate its replacement, the Transformational Communications Satellite [TSAT]. It is now evident that funding for AEHF was reduced prematurely and that the Department of Defense requires at least one additional AEHF to avoid a communications shortfall in the future. Therefore, the Committee has included $125,000,000 in the Missile Procurement, Air Force account for the advance procurement of an additional AEHF satellite. The Committee encourages the Air Force to include an option for a second AEHF satellite in the follow-on contract in order to get the best pricing should they determine another AEHF is required. The follow-on TSAT program is a technically challenging and unproven system with unknown total costs. The Committee understands that the technologies associated with the TSAT satellite are reaching high levels of technical maturity for this stage in the program and that the program has adopted a block upgrade approach to help ensure the program's success. However, the program is still in its infancy with many technical, manufacturing and engineering risks ahead. In addition, the TSAT program will be extremely expensive. The budget request for the TSAT program from fiscal year 2008 through fiscal year 2013 alone is currently projected to be $11,413,800,000. That amount does not include the cost of the program after 2013, which at this point is unknown, but will certainly be significant considering the first TSAT is not scheduled to launch until fiscal year 2016. The recent history of satellite programs would strongly suggest that costs will increase significantly as the program goes forward. The Air Force has already faced challenges fully funding this program when weighed against other Air Force priorities and reduced the fiscal year 2008 budget request from last year's estimate by $572,400,000. Furthermore, the Committee has been informed that other options for improving communications for the military are being examined by the Department of Defense, including using airborne and existing telecommunications networks that could potentially accomplish TSAT's objectives at far lesser expense to the nation. The Committee encourages the Department to seriously consider these alternatives to enhance the military's communications architecture. Due to the fact that AEHF has not yet launched, the uncertainties over the affordability of the current TSAT program, and potential communications alternatives, the Committee believes TSAT should be slowed down to ensure that it is fiscally and technically executable. Therefore, the Committee recommends a reduction of $200,000,000 to TSAT program, which leaves $763,585,000 for the program, an increase of $33,640,000 over the fiscal year 2007 appropriation. Missile Warning Satellites.--The Committee is concerned that the Air Force is beginning an acquisition program to replace Space-Based Infrared System-High [SBIRS-High] with the Advanced Infrared Space System [AIRSS] program prematurely. While SBIRS still has a few challenges to overcome, it appears to be making good progress after more than 12 years of development and an estimated $9,900,000,000 for the total program cost. The SBIRS Highly Elliptical Orbit [HEO] payload is performing better than anticipated and, although there are still development and testing issues with SBIRS Geosynchronous Orbit [GEO] satellites, it seems like the program is finally on track. The Committee is encouraged by the Department of Defense's recent announcement that it will buy two additional SBIRS satellites and two additional SBIRS HEO payloads. However, the Committee understands that the SBIRS technology will be challenging to maintain since it will be outdated before it even launches. In addition, the complexity of the satellite could impact its design life. Therefore, the Committee believes that technology development for the AIRSS program is warranted and provides $75,000,000 to continue those efforts.

Subsequent to the budget submission, the request for TCTI increased to $55,800,000. Given the lack of fully developed program objectives and transition plans, the Committee sees no reason to provide any additional funding for TCTI at this time and denies the request to move an additional $31,400,000 into the TCTI program. Transformational Medical Technology Initiative [TMTI].--The fiscal year 2008 budget request includes $247,800,000 for TMTI, an increase of $124,300,000, or 101 percent, over amounts provided in fiscal year 2007. In light of the program's severe execution delays in both fiscal years 2006 and 2007, the Committee finds the request excessive. The Committee provides $147,700,000 for TMTI, a reasonable increase over amounts provided in fiscal year 2007. The Committee commends the Special Assistant for Chemical and Biological Defense for the TMTI report that was provided in response to congressional mandate and directs the Special Assistant for Chemical and Biological Defense to continue to provide this report annually. The Committee will work with the program office to ensure that the Committee's concerns continue to be addressed in the report. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency [DARPA].--The fiscal year 2008 budget request includes $3,085,617,000 for DARPA. The Committee recommends a funding level of $2,909,283,000, a reduction of $176,334,000 to the request. The Committee reduction is primarily based on DARPA's underexecution of previously provided funding. For example, with one quarter remaining for the obligation of fiscal year 2006 funds, over $500,000,000, or 17 percent, of funds appropriated in fiscal year 2006 for DARPA were unobligated or reprogrammed for higher priorities. This trend of underexecution continues in fiscal year 2007, where despite a congressional reduction of $199,000,000 to the budget request more than 7.5 percent of appropriated funding has been identified as excess to DARPA requirements within the first 9 months of availability for obligation. Therefore, the Committee does not believe that additional program growth is justified at this time and recommends funding DARPA's fiscal year 2008 program at a level consistent with current expenditures in the fiscal year 2007 program. The Committee notes that the recommended fiscal year 2008 amount provides $400,000,000 more than is being executed in the fiscal year 2006 program. Additionally, an analysis of DARPA's top technical performers over the past 3 years shows that roughly one-third of DARPA's budget is consistently awarded to the same top 15 performers, most of which rank among the world's leading defense companies. The Committee is concerned that by repeatedly relying on the same performers, DARPA may be missing out on innovative ideas originating from non-traditional, non- defense sources, to include small businesses, creative individuals and small universities and colleges. The Committee encourages DARPA to increase its outreach and awareness initiatives to these potential partners with the specific goal of enhancing greater participation from non-traditional defense sources. The Committee commends DARPA for its attempts to comply with guidance previously issued in Senate Report 108-284 regarding transition plans for programs funded with Advanced Technology Development research funds. The fiscal year 2008 budget request includes $1,477,131,000, almost 50 percent of DARPA's budget, in Advanced Technology Development funding for 182 programs. According to DARPA, transition objectives exist for 88 percent of those programs--short of the Committee's mandate of 100 percent, but certainly a vast improvement from previous years. The Committee directs DARPA to continue to strive towards achieving transition plans for 100 percent of Advanced Technology Development programs and to maintain a minimum of at least 90 percent. The Committee further directs the Director, DARPA to submit to the congressional defense committees with the fiscal year 2009 budget submission a written report detailing DARPA's transition successes by fiscal year since fiscal year 2006, and its transition plans for programs funded in the fiscal year 2009 request. The report shall include the identification of projects by Program Element and name (to include potential name changes over the years), funding history by fiscal year, transition agents, the year of transition, and the projects' name and funding by procurement/ research and development line upon transitioning to a transition agent Program of Record. Additionally, the report shall include an assessment of Technology Readiness Levels [TRLs] for each project at the time of its initiation at DARPA and at the time of its transition to the transition agent. The fiscal year 2007 Department of Defense Appropriations Act directed DARPA to provide more individual programmatic detail in its budget justification materials. While some improvements were made with the fiscal year 2008 budget submission, the Committee notes that several Program Element numbers still include roll-up programs containing a multitude of smaller projects for which no schedule, programmatic or funding detail is included in the justification materials. The Committee expects this to be rectified with the fiscal year 2009 budget submission. Synthetic Fuel Utilization.--The Committee supports the Department's efforts to evaluate synthetic fuels, including those produced through the Fischer-Tropsch process, which may lead to greater fuel efficiency and lesser dependence on foreign energy sources. However, the Committee is concerned that there has been insufficient attention to the infrastructure requirements and investment planning for a transition to synthetic fuels. This uncertainty undermines the ability of commercial producers to generate the necessary investment capital to build facilities capable of producing synthetic fuels to meet defense requirements. The Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to submit a report to the congressional defense committees no later than March 31, 2008, which, for each military department, describes the anticipated fuel requirement that may be met by synthetic fuel, including the amounts and types of such fuel; a schedule for the transition to synthetic fuels; the infrastructure required for the distribution of synthetic fuels, including cost estimates for construction and operation and maintenance; and the status of any long-term contracts or other agreements to encourage private sector investment to ensure the availability of synthetic fuels that meet military requirements. Joint Wargaming Simulation Management Office.--The fiscal year 2008 budget request includes $37,837,000 for the Joint Wargaming Simulation Management Office. This request consists of $11,000,000 for program office support and roughly $26,000,000 in unencumbered funding for Department-wide Modeling and Simulation [M&S] efforts. This is in addition to an estimated $10,000,000,000 annual Department of Defense investment in M&S. Recognizing the need for Department-wide coordination and jointness among the services' and defense agencies' M&S efforts in order to maximize effectiveness and eliminate redundancy, the Committee fully funds the program office so that it may exercise its oversight role. However, given the Department's significant annual M&S investment, the Committee finds the request for additional M&S funding unwarranted. The Committee directs the Joint Wargaming Simulation Management Office to submit to the congressional defense committees along with the fiscal year 2009 budget submission a report detailing M&S efforts conducted by the services and defense agencies annually since fiscal year 2006, to include the type of effort, participants and associated funding. Budget and Program Assessments.--The fiscal year 2008 budget request includes $5,750,000 to support both the Office of the Director, Program, Analysis & Evaluation [PA&E] and the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller) to resolve budget and programmatic issues across the full range of the Department's activities. The Committee has fully funded this request. However, the Committee is distressed to learn that the Department plans to outsource this funding to Federally Funded Research and Development Centers [FFRDCs]. The Committee believes that research and analysis capabilities in support of budgeting, programming and acquisition decisions should remain within the Department's organic workforce and directs PA&E and the Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller) to report to the congressional defense committees on the execution plan for these funds. New Starts.--The budget request includes several new programs in fiscal year 2008. The Committee commends the Department for addressing validated capability gaps and supports many of these new initiatives. However, the Committee is concerned that several proposed new start programs lack specific exit criteria and transition goals. Therefore, the Committee directs the Department to implement a plan for transitioning these new start programs and to report to the congressional defense committees no later than 30 days after enactment of this act. New Starts in the Year of Execution.--The budget request includes over $300,000,000 in various program elements for projects that will be selected and initiated in the year of execution. Recognizing the need for the Department to conduct research projects in support of urgent warfighter requirements, the Committee supports this funding and retains the reporting requirement set forth in Senate Report 109-292. MISSILE DEFENSE PROGRAMS Ground-based Missile Defense Upgrades.--The Committee provides an additional $50,000,000 for upgrades to the ground- based missile defense [GMD] system, including $28,000,000 for incorporating Concurrent Test, Training, and Operations [CTTO] Upgrades for GMD fire control enhanced training and situational awareness and SBX program, and $22,000,000 for expanding test infrastructure for operational ground based interceptor quantities. Kinetic Energy Interceptor [KEI].--According to the budget justification materials, KEI has three objectives: ``(1) to develop a midcourse interceptor capable of replacing the current fixed Ground-based interceptor [GBI] when the deployed GBIs become obsolete; (2) to develop this interceptor so that it could be strategically deployed as an additional midcourse capability with mobile land- or sea-based launchers; and (3) to assume the boost- and ascent-phase intercept mission within the Ballistic Missile Defense System [BMDS] if the Airborne Laser [ABL] fails to meet its performance objectives.'' The Committee believes that these objectives are premature, that existing systems can achieve the same goals, and that the missile is not suitable for Navy platforms. The Committee is concerned that MDA is developing KEI as a replacement for the GBI's prematurely since the GBI's are still under development, the fielded GBI's undergo continuous upgrades and retrofits, and the GBI's still have to undergo significant testing. Furthermore, additional midcourse capability can be achieved with upgrading current mobile systems, such as Theater High Altitude Area Defense [THAAD]. In addition, a study is currently underway on sea-basing the KEI, including an examination of Navy platforms suitable for hosting the large KEI. The Committee has not been informed that any current or future Navy ship will be outfitted with the KEI, and it appears that there are few, if any, viable platforms. Therefore, the Committee recommends a reduction of $30,000,000 for the KEI program. Test Range Support and Upgrades.--The Committee recommends an additional $50,000,000 for test and training range support and upgrades to ensure the ranges are able to keep pace with the additional demands required to support MDA testing. Ballistic Missile Defense Systems Core.--The budget request includes $24,190,000 for intelligence, counterintelligence, and information assurance activities in the BMD System Core program element. The Committee is concerned that MDA is engaging in activities that should more appropriately be conducted by the intelligence community, namely the Missile and Space Intelligence Center, the National Air and Space Intelligence Center, and other entities in the Department of Defense. Therefore, the Committee recommends a reduction of $18,020,000 for intelligence and security and a reduction of $3,245,000 for counterintelligence. The remaining funding shall be used only for information assurance systems certification. In addition, the request includes $37,615,000 for Producibility and Manufacturing Technology. This funding supports research and development activities on projects such as high performance batteries, radiation hardened devices, electro-optical and infrared producibility and reliability, radar electronics improvements, affordable and reliable propulsion, advanced materials and structures, and anti-tamper technologies. The Committee recommends a reduction of $23,335,000 for this program since these technologies are repetitive of activities underway in the core missile defense programs and duplicative of research and development programs done by the military services and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. Furthermore, the BMD Systems Core program element grows from $429,420,000 in fiscal year 2007 to $482,016,000 in the fiscal year 2008 request. The Committee recommends a reduction of $50,000,000 for general program growth in the BMD Systems Core program element. Procurement Funding Pilot Program.--The Committee is concerned that MDA continues to fund its programs incrementally with research and development funds when they should more appropriately be funded in the procurement or operation and maintenance accounts. Several MDA programs have stable production and have graduated from the research and development phase, such as Standard Missiles, Ground-based Interceptors, TPY-2 radars, and THAAD fire units. In order to begin this transition away from incremental funding to build stability in the production lines and gain efficiencies in unit costs, the Committee directs MDA to begin a pilot program in fiscal year 2009 that funds THAAD Fire Units 3 and 4 with Procurement, Defense-wide funding. In addition, the Committee encourages MDA to fully fund Standard Missiles with procurement funding beginning in fiscal year 2010. Space Tracking and Surveillance System.--The budget request includes $331,525,000 for the Space Tracking and Surveillance System [STSS]. The Committee understands that MDA will be launching two prototype satellites to assess how they will enhance the missile defense system. At the same time, MDA is requesting funds to develop the follow-on STSS satellites without sufficient knowledge from the experimental satellites. Therefore, the Committee recommends a reduction of $45,000,000 from the STSS-Follow-On. In addition, program management support for the STSS-Follow-On grows from $1,500,000 in fiscal year 2007 to $12,600,000 in fiscal year 2008. Given the premature request for STSS-Follow-On, the Committee recommends a $10,000,000 reduction for program management support. Similarly, the Committee recommends an additional $4,000,000 reduction for program growth in Program-wide support activities. Multiple Kill Vehicle [MKV].--The Committee recommends a reduction of $50,000,000 for the MKV program. The MKV budget request nearly doubles from $144,362,000 in fiscal year 2007 to $271,151,000 in the fiscal year 2008 request. The Committee is concerned that MDA changed its acquisition strategy in fiscal year 2007 prematurely and has not provided cost estimates or adequate justification for adding another contractor to the program. The justification materials provide no detail on how the fiscal year 2008 funding will be distributed between the two efforts. In addition, the Committee is concerned that MDA has not fully consulted the Japanese about their intention to replace the Standard Missile-3 [SM-3] Block IIA program with MKV. The Japanese have already committed to funding half of the $2,500,000,000 SM-3 Block IIA development effort with the United States. The Standard Missile is performing extremely well in the Aegis sea-based tests, and upgrades to that system are less risky and will provide near-term capability sooner than moving to an unproven, technically immature MKV for the Aegis system. The Committee directs that no funding in the Aegis BMD program element can be used for the MKV program. Space Test Bed.--The Committee provides no funding for the Space Test Bed. The test bed is intended to be the initial step toward deploying space-based interceptors. The Committee believes the request is premature and the costs of a space- based system are unknown and likely unaffordable. MDA should focus its efforts on near-term missile defense systems. Space Experimentation Center.--The Committee recommends a reduction of $5,000,000 for the Space Experimentation Center, a new activity requested in fiscal year 2008. Since MDA terminated its microsatellite technology development program, no funding is provided for the Space Test Bed (described above), and the N-FIRE experiment ends in fiscal year 2009, there is no requirement for an experimentation center since the STSS program is MDA's only on-going space program. Air Launched Hit to Kill.--The Committee is encouraged by MDA's investment in research and development for air launched weapons for tactical fighter aircraft. These weapons include equipping fighter aircraft with an Advanced Medium Range Air- to-Air Missile [AMRAAM] equipped with an AIM-9X seeker, Patriot Advanced Capability-3 [PAC-3], or THAAD interceptors. The Committee believes that the Air Launched Hit to Kill program should be considered as another option for boost/ascent-phase missile defense since this program has the potential to provide boost-phase capability to the warfighter in the near-term at a relatively low cost.

TITLE VI OTHER DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE APPROPRIATIONS Defense Health Program Appropriations, 2007.................................... $21,217,000,000 Budget estimate, 2008................................... 22,541,124,000 House allowance......................................... 22,957,184,000 Committee recommendation................................ 23,490,051,000 The Committee recommends an appropriation of $23,490,051,000. This is $948,927,000 above the budget estimate. The Committee remains concerned by the Department's efforts to fund shortfalls in the contractor provided private sector care account from direct care funding for Military Treatment Facilities [MTFs]. The Committee believes that such actions will adversely impact the ability of the MTFs to provide quality healthcare to military beneficiaries. Therefore, the Committee recommends that not more than $12,341,286,000 may be available for contractor provided medical services within TRICARE, and directs the Department to follow established prior approval reprogramming procedures before transferring funds from the direct care account to the private sector account. This language should not be interpreted by the Department as limiting the amount of funds that may be transferred to the direct care system from other budget activities within the Defense Health Program. MTF Efficiency Wedge.--The Committee has continued to raise concerns over the Department's budgeting practices of our military health care system. In particular, the Committee remains deeply concerned over the Department mandating savings by instituting an ``efficiency wedge'' on the service health care budgets. The Committee recognized the potentially grave consequences of these decreases in fiscal year 2007 and provided $500,000,000 in relief for the services in the ``U.S. Troop Readiness, Veteran's Care, Katrina Recovery, and Iraq Accountability Appropriations Act'', 2007, (Public Law 110-28). The Committee also urged the Department to review its fiscal year 2008 budget request in order to resource the military health care system properly. The Committee has not received additional guidance from the Department, leaving the services with a $486,300,000 shortfall. To alleviate this shortfall in fiscal year 2008, the Committee has provided $486,300,000 to fully fund the ``efficiency wedge''. The Committee believes that our military health care system should remain focused on creating efficiencies, but does not feel requested funding should be reduced before the savings can be identified. While these increases provided by Congress will offer a temporary relief to the services, the Department intends to impose $785,200,000 for an ``efficiency wedge'' in fiscal year 2009. The Committee strongly encourages the Department to review its fiscal year 2009 budget and future year program and remove the ``efficiency wedge''. Given the current wartime environment, the Department cannot afford to take such risk in our military health system. For as long as there are ongoing war efforts, our military treatment facilities will need all the resources available. Carryover.--For fiscal year 2008, the Committee is recommending 1 percent carryover authority for the Defense Health Program. The Committee directs the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Health Affairs), to submit a detailed spend plan for the fiscal year 2007 designated carryover funds to the congressional defense committees, by November 1, 2007. In addition, the Department shall, not fewer than 15 days prior to executing the carryover funds, notify the congressional defense committees in writing of the details of any such obligation. Wounded Warrior Assistance.--To address the urgent medical needs of wounded service members, especially those suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and Traumatic Brain Injuries, the Committee provides $73,000,000 to fund initiatives in H.R 1538, The Dignified Treatment of Wounded Warrior Act, as passed by the Senate.

The Committee directs the Secretary of Defense, in conjunction with the Service Surgeons General, to select medical research projects of clear scientific merit and direct relevance to military health. Research areas considered under this funding are restricted to: amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, blood cancer, diabetes, Duchenne's disease, drug abuse, epilepsy, inflammatory bowel disease, interstitial cystitis, leishmaniasis, Lupus, kidney cancer, mesothelioma, multiple sclerosis, neurofibromatosis, Paget's disease, Parkinson's disease, polycystic kidney disease, social work research, tinnitus, and Tuberous Sclerosis Complex research. The Committee emphasizes that the additional funding provided under the Peer Reviewed Medical Research Program shall be devoted only to the purposes listed above. HealtheForces.--The Committee has provided $3,500,000 for the Air Force Surgeon General for the continued transfer of Integrated Clinical Data Base [ICDB]/HEALTHeFORCES government- developed software in support of medically underserved, rural health clinics and group practices. Tri-Service Nursing Research Program.--The Committee has included $8,000,000 to continue the Tri-Service Nursing Research Program and urges the Department of Defense to include this program in future budget requests. This program provides funding for peer-reviewed research studies conducted by active duty and reserve military nurses on topics of military nursing that might not be competitive in other funding venues. The Committee believes this program is an essential tool for the retention of our military nurses. The Committee directs the Assistant Secretary of Defense Health Affairs, in conjunction with the Service Surgeons General and the Nursing Corps Chiefs to provide a report to the congressional defense committees, by April 25, 2008, that details the number and topic areas of research proposals submitted and funded and a detailed accounting of the entire program, including administrative costs, overhead, and travel. ADDITIONAL ITEMS OF INTEREST Graduate School of Nursing.--The Committee commends the Department for continuing the Graduate School of Nursing at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences and understands that this program will be included in the budget request in future years. The Committee directs the Service Surgeons General to provide a report to the congressional defense committees, by April 25, 2008, detailing the number of nurses by service assigned to the Doctoral program. Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists.--The Committee commends the U.S. Army Graduate Program in Anesthesia Nursing for receiving the second highest ranking in the Nation of graduate programs in the nursing anesthesia category as rated by media reports. The Committee reiterates its strong support of the current scope of practice of military Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists to practice as licensed independent providers of anesthesia care. Tripler Pain Rehabilitation Program.--The Committee commends the work of the Tripler Army Medical Center [TAMC] Pain Rehabilitation Program as a model of a collaborative multidisciplinary team approach to effective pain management. The TAMC Pain Rehabilitation Program provides comprehensive assessment and treatment for the complex interaction of physical, emotional and social factors in pain perception. As pain is one of the most frequent presenting complaints of returning soldiers, the Committee encourages the Department of Defense to utilize this program as a model for other military treatment facilities. Health Professions Loan Repayment Program.--The Committee is pleased with the impact that loan repayment has had on recruitment and retention, across the spectrum of health professions. Dentists, nurses, pharmacists, psychologists and optometrists have all indicated that greater targeting of funds for loan repayment has enhanced recruitment as well as retention efforts. The Committee strongly encourages the Department to continue to utilize programs for loan repayment that are separate from the Health Professions Scholarship and the Financial Assistance Programs. Post-Doctoral Education.--The Committee continues to be supportive of post-doctoral training in health psychology and applauds the successes and progress being made at Tripler Army Medical Center. The Committee encourages the Department of Defense to consolidate post-doctoral training efforts for psychologists in those military treatment facilities where independent departments of psychology exist and to lengthen it to a 2-year program, where appropriate. Graduate Professional Education.--The Committee strongly supports continuation of equitable distribution of Department of Defense funds for graduate professional education to all health professions, including nursing. Nurse Accession Bonus.--The Committee commends the Department for the continuation of the nurse accession bonus of $15,000 used as a recruiting incentive. The Committee urges the Department to monitor trends in the Department of Veterans Affairs and civilian organizations' financial incentives to ensure accession bonuses remain competitive during the worsening national shortage of registered nurses. Pediatric Emergency Medical Services.--The Committee reiterates its support for pediatric-specific emergency medical services training and equipment availability throughout Military Treatment Facilities [MTFs]. The Committee appreciates the MTFs attention and continued adherence to these initiatives. Behavioral Research in the Military Service Laboratories.-- The Committee recognizes that psychological scientists respond to a myriad of issues vital to national security through their work in military research laboratories. The multiple demands on our military personnel, psychological research on leadership, decisionmaking under stress, cognitive readiness, training, and human-technology interactions have become even more mission- critical. Educational Requirements for Nurses.--The Committee is aware that the services have different educational requirements for entry-level nurses. The Committee urges the Department of Defense to consider making the baccalaureate degree the entry- level educational requirement for all nurses and to develop uniform education standards between the Active and Reserve Components. Paralympic Military Program.--Participation in paralympics sports enhances the physical, psychological and social recovery of severely wounded service members, including their re- integration into families and communities. The United States Olympic Committee Paralympic Military Program was created to enhance the rehabilitation, readiness and quality of life for these service members through paralympic sport. The Committee encourages the Department of Defense to partner with the United States Olympic Committee [USOC] to develop entry-level sport activities for medical-hold and outpatient service members stationed at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, National Naval Medical Center, Brooke Army Medical Center, and Naval Medical Center San Diego. Such a program would complement ongoing medical care with sports while identifying supportive and community-based activities for these wounded warriors. Residential Treatment Center.--The Committee is concerned that many military families lack access to residential treatment centers, which provide vital mental health services to children and adolescents. The Committee understands that the Department of Defense is currently reviewing the TRICARE standards for residential treatment centers, including the requirement that these centers must have a nurse onsite 24 hours per day. The requirement for 24 hour onsite nursing coverage is cost prohibitive for smaller residential treatment centers and those located in rural areas. The Committee encourages the Department of Defense to complete this review in a timely manner and to consider whether otherwise qualified facilities could meet the 24 hour onsite nursing requirement by having a nurse on call 24 hours per day.

Budget estimate, 2008................................... $500,000,000 House allowance......................................... 500,000,000 Committee recommendation................................ 120,000,000 The Committee recommends an appropriation of $120,000,000. This is $380,000,000 below the budget estimate. The Committee directs JIEDDO to use standard reprogramming procedures when transferring a cumulative amount of $20,000,000 or more between sub-activities. The Committee has provided funding to sustain the Counter- IED Operations Integration Center, the Joint Center of Excellence, and staff and infrastructure requirements through the first quarter of fiscal year 2008. The Committee reiterates it strong concern over the lack of a formalized strategic plan that would clarify and define the roles of JIEDDO within the Department of Defense and the intelligence community. Without this guidance, the Committee can not validate the requested funding levels for these requirements. The ``U.S. Troop Readiness, Veteran's Care, Katrina Recovery, and Iraq Accountability Appropriations Act'', 2007, (Public Law 110-28) required the Department of Defense to finalize the JIEDDO strategic plan and submit it to the congressional defense committees no later than August 17, 2007. The Committee has not received this report, or any formal communication from the Department regarding the mandate. It is the Committees' understanding that a strategic plan was developed by JIEDDO in early 2007 and was met with several delays within the Department of Defense. The Committee also understands that JIEDDO has been tasked to revise this strategic plan which could result in an inadequate definition of their roles and responsibilities. In addition to the $500,000,000 requested for JIEDDO in the President's fiscal year 2008 budget request, there is an additional $4,000,000,000 included in the President's fiscal year 2008 GWOT supplemental request. In order to properly analyze additional requirements for JIEDDO above the $120,000,000 provided, the Committee directs the Department of Defense to provide a comprehensive and detailed strategic plan for JIEDDO to the congressional defense committees no later than September 30, 2007.

COMPLIANCE WITH PARAGRAPH 7, RULE XVI OF THE STANDING RULES OF THE SENATE Paragraph 7 of rule XVI requires that Committee reports on general appropriations bills identify each Committee amendment to the House bill ``which proposes an item of appropriation which is not made to carry out the provisions of an existing law, a treaty stipulation, or an act or resolution previously passed by the Senate during that session.'' None of the funds appropriated in this bill are authorized. At the point when the Committee reports this measure, the Congress has not completed action on the Fiscal Year 2008 Defense Authorization Act. As a consequence, the Committee has acted in good faith in its attempt to comply fully with requirements stipulated under paragraph 7, rule XVI. The Committee anticipates that Congress will authorize the amounts appropriated in this act. COMPLIANCE WITH PARAGRAPH 7(C), RULE XXVI OF THE STANDING RULES OF THE SENATE Pursuant to paragraph 7(c) of rule XXVI, on September 12, 2007, the Committee ordered reported H.R. 3222, making appropriations for Department of Defense for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2008, and for other purposes, with an amendment in the nature of a substitute; with the bill subject to further amendment and subject to the budget allocations, by a recorded vote of 29-0, a quorum being present. The vote was as follows: Yeas Nays Chairman Byrd Mr. Inouye Mr. Leahy Mr. Harkin Ms. Mikulski Mr. Kohl Mrs. Murray Mr. Dorgan Mrs. Feinstein Mr. Durbin Mr. Johnson Ms. Landrieu Mr. Reed Mr. Lautenberg Mr. Nelson Mr. Cochran Mr. Stevens Mr. Specter Mr. Domenici Mr. Bond Mr. McConnell Mr. Shelby Mr. Gregg Mr. Bennett Mr. Craig Mrs. Hutchison Mr. Brownback Mr. Allard Mr. Alexander COMPLIANCE WITH PARAGRAPH 12, RULE XXVI OF THE STANDING RULES OF THE SENATE Paragraph 12 of rule XXVI requires that Committee reports on a bill or joint resolution repealing or amending any statute or part of any statute include ``(a) the text of the statute or part thereof which is proposed to be repealed; and (b) a comparative print of that part of the bill or joint resolution making the amendment and of the statute or part thereof proposed to be amended, showing by stricken-through type and italics, parallel columns, or other appropriate typographical devices the omissions and insertions which would be made by the bill or joint resolution if enacted in the form recommended by the Committee.''
