Following is an explanation of the effects of division C, which makes appropriations for the Department of Defense for fiscal year 2009. As provided in section 4 of the consolidated bill, this explanatory statement shall have the same effect with respect to the allocation of funds and implementation of this division as if it were a joint explanatory statement of a committee of conference.
Definition of Program, Project, and Activity
For the purposes of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 (Public Law 99-177) as amended by the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Reaffirmation Act of 1987 (Public Law 100-119) and by the Budget Enforcement Act of 1990 (Public Law 101-508), the term program, project, and activity for appropriations contained in this Act shall be defined as the most specific level of budget items identified in the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2009, the related classified annexes and explanatory statements, and the P-1 and R-1 budget justification documents as subsequently modified by congressional action. The following exception to the above definition shall apply: for the military personnel and the operation and maintenance accounts, for which the term ``program, project, and activity'' is defined as the appropriations accounts contained in the Department of Defense Appropriations Act.
At the time the President submits his budget for fiscal year 2010, the Department of Defense is directed to transmit to the congressional defense committees budget justification documents to be known as the ``M-1'' and ``O-1'' which shall identify, at the budget activity, activity group, and subactivity group level, the amounts requested by the President to be appropriated to the Department of Defense for military personnel and operation and maintenance in any budget request, or amended budget request, for fiscal year 2010.
Classified Annex
Adjustments to classified programs are addressed in the accompanying classified annex.
Congressional Special Interest Items
Items for which additional funds have been provided as shown in the project level tables or in paragraphs using the phrase ``only for'' or ``only to'' are congressional special interest items for purposes of the Base for Reprogramming (DD Form 1414). Each of these items must be carried on the DD Form 1414 at the stated amount, as specifically addressed in these materials.
Reprogramming Guidance
The Department of Defense is directed to continue to follow the reprogramming guidance for acquisition accounts as specified in the House Report (H. Rept. 110-279) accompanying the Fiscal Year 2008 Department of Defense Appropriations Act. For operation and maintenance accounts, the Department of Defense shall continue to follow the reprogramming guidelines specified in the conference report accompanying H.R. 3222, the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2008, which are also reiterated herein under title II. The dollar threshold for reprogramming funds shall remain at $15,000,000 for operation and maintenance; $20,000,000 for procurement; and $10,000,000 for research, development, test and evaluation.
Also, the Under Secretary of Defense, Comptroller, is directed to continue to provide the congressional defense committees quarterly, spreadsheet-based DD Form 1416 reports for service and defense-wide accounts in titles I, II, III and IV of this Act. The Department shall continue to follow the limitation that prior approval reprogrammings are set at either the specified dollar threshold or 20 percent of the procurement or research, development, test and evaluation line, whichever is less. These thresholds are cumulative. Therefore, if the combined value of transfers into or out of operation and maintenance (O-1), a procurement (P-1) or research, development, test and evaluation (R-1) line exceed the identified threshold, the Department of Defense must submit a prior approval reprogramming to the congressional defense committees. In addition, guidelines on the application of prior approval reprogramming procedures for congressional special interest items are established elsewhere in these materials.
Funding Increases
The funding increases outlined in the tables for each appropriation account shall be provided only for the specific purposes indicated in the tables.
TITLE I--MILITARY PERSONNEL
For Military Personnel, funds are to be available for fiscal year 2009, as follows:

Stop Loss
The Department of Defense continues to involuntarily extend the service commitments of active duty and selected reserve servicemembers. These extensions, known as stop loss, are used to retain servicemembers an average of six months beyond their initial end-of-term-of-service date. Although the Secretary of Defense has tried to minimize the use of this practice, the Army continues to use stop loss for its active and reserve components, arguing that it allows the Service to maintain unit integrity. However, the continued use of stop loss remains a concern as it may undermine the morale of the Nation's servicemembers and the voluntary nature of the Armed Forces.
Therefore, the Secretary of Defense and the Services are directed to provide stop loss data as part of the end-strength portion of the fiscal year 2010 military personnel budget justification material and a report to the congressional defense committees that examines the impact, if any, stop loss has had on recruiting and any correlations between extended deployments, often involving stop-lossed servicemembers, and domestic assaults, sexual assaults and alcohol offenses. This report shall be submitted no later than 180 days after enactment of this Act. Furthermore, the Secretary of Defense shall submit to the congressional defense committees a report containing the results of a study evaluating the feasibility and costs of providing a special pay, in the manner authorized by section 8116, to all members of the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps, including former and retired members, who at any time during the period beginning on October 1, 2001, and ending on September 30, 2008, served on active duty while the member's enlistment or period of obligated service was extended, or whose eligibility for retirement was suspended. This report shall be submitted no later than 60 days after enactment of this Act.
Cash Incentives
The Department has initiated many programs that rely solely on cash incentives when enlisting new recruits and retaining current personnel. While these cash incentives have enhanced recruitment and retention efforts and helped the Services meet their end-strength goals, there is concern that the Services have increased both the size and scope of these cash incentives without performance metrics to determine whether these bonuses are cost effective and necessary in light of the other, improved personnel benefits now being provided. Accordingly, the Secretary of Defense is directed to provide a report to the congressional defense committees that describes these cash incentives, specifically to include: the number of cash incentives used for recruitment and retention; the average amount provided for each military occupational specialty; the length of contract required for each type of enlistment and reenlistment bonus; and the performance metrics used to determine the effectiveness of, and requirement for, various levels of bonus compensation. This report shall be submitted not later than February 1, 2009.
Realignment of Funds
Funds were realigned within the Military Personnel, Air Force, account to support Air Force efforts to halt its personnel drawdown. The Air Force had been on course to drawdown end strength from 329,563 to 316,600 in fiscal year 2009. However, they have recently changed course to support a manning level of 326,000 airmen and grow to 330,000 in fiscal year 2010. This newly planned personnel growth, along with readjusted cost calculations, has led to savings in officer voluntary separation pay and permanent change of station expenses and has created additional costs in enlisted personnel pay and allowances. The majority of these savings have been realigned to fund the enlisted personnel increase. The remainder of the savings was not realigned as the Air Force, which is already below its planned end-strength, will likely not achieve its end-strength goal of 326,000.
Dwell Time
The Army and Marine Corps active duty and reserve personnel have experienced reduced dwell time due to an accelerated deployment cycle. This reduction in dwell time has placed a significant strain on servicemembers, their families, and the employers of reservists. In addition, the frequent and extended deployments of National Guard and Reserve personnel have left our Nation more vulnerable during national emergencies, such as forest fires and hurricane disaster evacuation and response. Reduced dwell time has further contributed to reduced opportunities to train for the full spectrum of combat missions. Although the Services expect to return to more normal deployment lengths at the end of fiscal year 2008, the Secretary of Defense is directed to provide a report on the unit rotation cycle (i.e., the patch report) to the congressional defense committees within 30 days of the end of each quarter.
Health Professions Scholarship Program
Personnel shortages in numerous medical specialties across the Services remain a concern. Recruiting and retaining these specialized personnel has proven to be challenging. The health professions scholarship program has been a successful tool in recruiting military medical personnel and, for this reason, it is disappointing that the Army and Air Force health professions scholarship programs are significantly underfunded in the budget request. To support continued efforts to recruit military medical personnel, an additional $18,400,000 in Reserve Personnel, Army, and $13,000,000 in Reserve Personnel, Air Force are included for the health professions scholarship program. This additional funding shall be used solely for this purpose. The Services are expected to fully fund this program in fiscal year 2010.
Reserve Component Participation Rate and Mobilization Assumptions
When constructing reserve personnel budgets, planners must project what percentage of reservists is likely to participate in annual training and weekend drills. Since operations began in Afghanistan and Iraq, participation levels have varied widely based on the number of mobilized reservists who are unavailable to drill and the number of reservists using extra drill periods to perform pre-mobilization training. Some Services have incorporated these factors into their projections, while others have not. Currently, there is no Department-wide guidance on the assumptions and methodology that should be used when budgeting for future-year annual training and weekend drill participation rates. This lack of guidance has led to unjustified growth in the Pay Group A and B accounts for several reserve components. For fiscal year 2009, funding has again been shifted from these activities to other activities within the same account where shortfalls were identified.
The deployment of Active Guard and Reserve (AGR) personnel has also complicated the process of budgeting for full time personnel costs. Deployed AGRs from some reserve components are paid from reserve personnel accounts, while AGRs from other reserve components are paid from active duty accounts. It is not clear that these reserve components have accurately incorporated AGR deployment assumptions and the corresponding personnel savings into their AGR cost analysis.
The Secretary of Defense is directed to work with the Services to establish guidelines for what assumptions and methodology should be used when constructing future-year training participation rate and AGR cost projections. The Department is directed to provide a report to the congressional defense committees that details the guidance issued to the Services. This report shall be submitted not later than February 15, 2009.
Reserve Component Budget Structure
In fiscal year 2008, Congress extended testing of a consolidated budget structure for the reserve components' military personnel accounts. Since that time, the single budget activity format has provided additional spending flexibility to the reserve components. Therefore, the consolidated budget structure shall be made permanent with the understanding that the Department will submit quarterly reports to the congressional defense committees showing all transfers between activities and sub-activities of each reserve personnel appropriation. The reports shall provide separate explanations for all transfers that equal, exceed, or cumulate to $2,000,000; and a beginning and ending total by line item. The report shall be due 30 days following the end of each quarter.
Government Accountability Office Unobligated Balance and End-Strength Reports
The Government Accountability Office is requested to continue its annual analysis of military personnel unobligated balances and end-strength levels. These reports serve as an important resource for Congress' budgetary analysis. The reports should be submitted to the congressional defense committees not later than May 15th of each year.
Boots-on-the-Ground and Cost of War Reporting
There remains a continuing need for accurate and timely information on actual/estimated costs and deployment numbers associated with Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) and Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF). Therefore, not later than the 10th day of each month following the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense is directed to submit to the congressional defense committees:
(1) a ``Boots-on-the-Ground'' report providing, for the most recent month for which data is available, the total number of troops deployed in support of OIF and OEF, further delineated by service and component (active, Reserve, or National Guard) and a monthly estimate for the three-month period following the date such report is submitted of the total number of troops expected to be deployed in support of OIF and OEF, further delineated by service and component (active, Reserve, or National Guard). This report may be submitted in classified form; and
(2) a monthly report of funds obligated in support of OIF and OEF covering the most recent period for which data are available, by month and fiscal year. This report shall be delineated and summarized by operation, by military service, by component (active, Reserve, or National Guard), and by appropriations account.

Directed Transfer of Working Capital Fund Cash
Section 8119 reduces funding to the Operation and Maintence accounts to reflect cash balance adjustments in the Defense Working Capital Funds. The Department is directed to transfer $823,000,000 from Defense Working Capital Fund, Army, to Operation and Maintence, Army, and transfer $36,000,000 from the Defense Working Capital Fund Air Force, to Operation and Maintence, Air Force.
``Soft'' Power and Inter-Agency Burden Sharing
The current inter-agency allocation of resources and responsibilities does not support an appropriate balance of the civilian and military instruments of national security. The Department of Defense has learned in recent years that successful security and stability operations require not only military action, but also sustained application of the diplomatic, development and economic tools that are the traditional responsibilities of the Department of State and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). Reflecting the importance of these non-military national security assets, the Secretary of Defense has repeatedly called for a dramatic increase in U.S. spending on diplomacy, foreign assistance, civic action, and economic development and reconstruction.
The Department has often assumed responsibility for development and reconstruction activities reluctantly and because the civilian agencies are either unable or unwilling to carry them out. However, significant increases were requested for several programs that duplicate efforts traditionally carried out by the Department of State and USAID, notably, the global train and equip and global security and stability programs; the new humanitarian relief aspect of the Combatant Commander's Initiative Fund; and a thirty-percent increase in the funds requested for the Commander's Emergency Response Program (CERP).
This apparent consolidation of U.S. security assistance, foreign aid, and humanitarian assistance and development programs within the Department of Defense is concerning. Neither the Nation's nor the Department's interests are well served by this institutional shift of responsibility for traditional elements of soft power'' from U.S. civilian agencies to the military. Given the tremendous strains the services face in the current operational environment, the Department should refrain from assuming additional soft power roles and work with Congress and the next Administration toward a more rational balance of inter-agency burden sharing and resource allocation.
Family Advocacy Program
The bill provides a total of $410,000,000 for family advocacy programs in fiscal year 2009. The additional funding provided herein will enhance the activities of the Family Advocacy Program (FAP) and provide for children and families managing the difficult challenges of military service. The concern about the growing need for family members to have access to professional counseling to help alleviate the mental stresses associated with deployments continues as stress on families reaches unprecedented levels. Current challenges facing today's military families include multiple and lengthy deployments, frequent moves, a shortage of child care nationwide, a wide range of financial complexities, the need for a two-income family and family reintegration. The loss of the daily presence of a parent--or parents--in the home and the worry about the safety of a deployed parent is a difficult burden for children. The activities provided by FAP products and services help mitigate the disruption and stress in the military family when facing a variety of stressors, such as relocation, deployment, shifts in family responsibility, and the loss or injury of loved ones.
The Department is taking action to create a Military OneSource Center to develop cutting-edge quality of life support for the military's emerging needs including deployment, mobilization, and reintegration. The Center will promote the readiness of military families throughout the military life cycle, from recruitment, relocation, deployment and mobilization, to retirement.
Therefore, a family advocacy program line has been created within the Operation and Maintenance, Defense-Wide account to enable better execution of the funding provided and to enable the Military OneSource Center to conduct appropriate evaluation and development of cost-effective quality of life resources that can be made available to all servicemembers and their families. The Family Advocacy Program should continue umbrella programs to include Military OneSource call center, counseling (financial and family), and other outreach programs that are most efficiently resourced at the Department level and any other missions deemed necessary that demonstrate a benefit to the servicemembers and their families. The Center will institutionalize the support that has been provided to servicemembersCC and their families since the beginning of the Global War on Terror.
Joint Task Force Guantanamo/Detainee Operations
The Secretary of Defense has indicated that he favors closing the detention facilities at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The June 12, 2008 decision by the United States Supreme Court that detainees at Guantanamo are entitled to the procedural protection of habeas corpus undermines the rationale to continue holding detainees offshore. Therefore, the Secretary is directed to develop options for the disposition of the Guantanamo Bay detention facility (to include potential closure), and the relocation of its population to alternative detention facilities; and to provide a report on such options, including the potential cost, schedule and disposition of detainees to the congressional defense committees within 180 days of enactment of this Act.
Facilities Sustainment, Restoration and Modernization
The Department of Defense has not directed sufficient management attention to maintaining and repairing facilities and the Department is deferring maintence on barracks and other facilities affecting the quality of life of Service personnel. Early this year, the deplorable living conditions that servicemembers had to endure upon returning from deployment came to light. Billions of dollars have been provided over the years for facilities repair; however, these funds are often used as funding sources for other operation and maintenance year-of-execution funding requirements. The bill provides an additional $493,500,000 for sustainment, restoration and modernization of barracks. In order to ensure that these funds are obligated and expended for sustainment, restoration and modernization of barracks, these funds shall be treated as a congressional interest item and should be so designated on the DD Form 1414.
Further, to focus management attention on the condition of barracks, the Department is directed to survey barracks at all Defense installations and document the extent to which barracks meet the established Department standards; reasons why such facilities fail to meet such standards; and estimate the funding required by fiscal year for each military service to bring barracks into compliance with the Department's standards. The Secretary of Defense is to provide the results of this survey to the congressional defense committees not later than February 27, 2009.
Operation and Maintenance Reprogrammings
The bill includes a provision identical to the provision enacted in fiscal year 2008 that requires the Department to submit the DD Form 1414, Base for Reprogramming Actions, for each of the fiscal year 2009 appropriations accounts within 60 days after the enactment of this Act. This provision prohibits the Department from executing any reprogramming or transfer of funds for any purpose other than originally appropriated until the aforementioned report is submitted to the House and the Senate Committees on Appropriations.
With respect to the Service's operation and maintenance accounts, the Department shall submit prior approval reprogramming requests to the congressional defense committees for proposed transfers of funds in excess of $15,000,000 to or from the levels specified for budget activities. In addition, the Department should follow prior approval reprogramming procedures for transfers in excess of $15,000,000 out of the following budget subactivities:
Operation and Maintenance, Army:
Land Forces Depot Maintenance
Operation and Maintenance, Navy:
Aircraft Depot Maintenance
Ship Depot Maintenance
Operation and Maintenance, Marine Corps:
Depot Maintenance
Operation and Maintenance, Air Force:
Air Operations Depot Maintenance
Mobility Operations Depot Maintenance
Basic Skills/Training Depot Maintenance

Further, the Department shall provide written notification of cumulative transfers in excess of $15,000,000 from the following budget subactivities:
Operation and Maintenance, Army:
Maneuver Units
Modular Support Brigades
Land Forces Operations Support
Force Readiness Operations Support
Base Operations Support
Facilities, Sustainment, Restoration and Modernization

With respect to Operation and Maintenance, Defense-Wide, proposed transfers of funds to or from the levels specified for defense agencies in excess of $15,000,000 shall be subject to prior approval reprogramming procedures. In addition, the Department shall provide written notification of cumulative transfers in excess of $15,000,000 or 20 percent, whichever is less, from the following line items identified in the Operation and Maintenance, Defense-Wide project level table contained in this Act:
Defense Legal Service Agency
Office of the Secretary of Defense

Under Secretary of Defense (Policy)
Director, Program Analysis and Evaluation
Assistant Secretary for Defense (Networks and Information Integration)
A congressional interest item contained in Operation and Maintenance, Defense-Wide is defined only as a specified increase provided in this Act.
Operation and Maintenance Budget Execution Data
The Department of Defense is directed to continue to provide the congressional defense committees with quarterly budget execution data. Such data should be provided not later than forty-five days past the close of each quarter for the fiscal year, and shall be provided for each O--1 budget activity, activity group, and subactivity group for each of the active, defense-wide, reserve and National Guard components. For each O--1 budget activity, activity group, and subactivity group, these reports shall include: the budget request and actual obligations; the Department of Defense distribution of unallocated congressional adjustments to the budget request; all adjustments made in establishing the Base for Reprogramming (DD Form 1414) report; all adjustments resulting from below threshold reprogrammings; and all adjustments resulting from prior approval reprogramming requests.
Electrical Fires at Military Bases in Iraq
There is concern with the number and severity of electrical fires at military bases in Iraq. In a single six month period, 283 fires destroyed or damaged military facilities in Iraq. More than a dozen servicemembers have been electrocuted in Iraq since the beginning of the war, with many more injured, some seriously. This is unacceptable. The Secretary is directed, within 60 days of enactment of this Act, to provide a report to the congressional defense committees that details the extent and causes of the problem, and what mitigating and corrective actions the Department plans.
Ground Combat Helmet Pads
The frequency of traumatic brain injury among ground combat forces due to accidents and combat operations, including attacks by improvised explosive devices and explosively formed penetrators, is a matter of great concern. The Army and Marine Corps should leverage all available technology to provide combat helmets that offer the best possible protection against traumatic brain injury. Reportedly, the Army may be exploring the possibilities of adapting certain aspects of padding used in protective helmets worn in professional sports to better protect soldiers against concussions, and the Army and the Marine Corps may accept helmet padding that meets minimum standards when better performing padding may be available, albeit at a greater cost. The Army and Marine Corps are encouraged to aggressively pursue all available advances in protection against head injuries among ground combat soldiers.
The Government Accountability Office is directed to provide a report and recommendations to the congressional defense committees within 120 days of enactment of this Act on the padding used in ground combat helmets by the Army and Marine Corps. The report shall address the materials in use and improved products that may be available for use for shock absorption, all weather performance, maintainability and overall best value attributes.
Alaskan Command Deployment Support
In light of the recent and projected deployment of military forces from Alaska in support of the Global War on Terror, the significant hardships encountered by many families and spouses during these lengthy deployments are recognized. Considering that two Army brigades and an Air Expeditionary Force will be deployed at the same time in 2009, the stress of these deployments on families will be significant. During a servicemembers' absence, military spouses are solely responsible for caring for children, maintaining employment, and managing household finances. Accordingly, $6,000,000 is provided to support the needs of these families, of which $2,000,000 is specifically intended for child care support services.
Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance
The Secretary of Defense notified the House and the Senate Committees on Appropriations of a number of urgent Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance needs for fiscal year 2009 that were not contained in the President's budget request. In order to respond to these emerging requirements, an increase of $750,000,000 is provided in operation and maintenance, procurement, and research, development, test and evaluation accounts. The following table includes operation and maintenance funds provided in support of this initiative.
Line | Account | Item | |
140 | OM,A | O&M for 8 MARSS multi-INT Aircraft | $65,600 |

Army Continuing Education System
It is important to provide returning soldiers and wounded warriors with opportunities to engage in retraining and vocational education programs. Community college systems throughout the Nation can readily provide these opportunities without duplicating the military's efforts. Therefore, $19,000,000 is provided for the Army's off-duty and voluntary education retraining programs under the Army Continuing Education System to provide increased opportunity for soldiers and wounded warriors to acquire technical, vocational or advanced training and re-training. The Army is directed to work with accredited community colleges to build upon existing programs and develop new pilot re-training programs in high demand career occupations, including rehabilitation, nursing, medical technology and other health care occupations.
Smart Contracting
For the past several years, significant attention and resources have been focused on the Department's acquisition process and its workforce. There is commitment to providing the tools and resources to facilitate smarter contracting processes. The Secretary of the Army is directed to submit a report to the congressional defense committees no later than 60 days after enactment of this Act, detailing the Army's progress in implementing the key recommendations of the Gansler Commission.

Combatant Commander Residual Funding
In the fiscal year 2009 budget request, each Service created two new budget line items to track combatant commander (COCOM) resources. According to the fiscal year 2008 budget, COCOM funding for the Navy to support Joint Forces Command and Pacific Command was budgeted in line 1C6C Combat Support Forces in the amount of $398,000,000 for fiscal year 2009. However, the fiscal year 2009 budget only transferred $378,000,000 to the new budget lines. Therefore, line 1C6C Combat Support Forces is overstated and is reduced by $20,000,000. The reduction shall not be applied to COCOM resources.
Naval Shipyard Workforce Development Programs
There is concern about the challenges to recruit and retain qualified personnel at the Navy shipyards. It is becoming increasingly difficult to attract and retain engineers into the public sector primarily because of the benefits offered to engineers in the private sector and because the shipyards do not have the necessary programs and incentives to groom executive management and leadership skills to further workforce development. There is strong support for the Naval Apprenticeship Program, which has the potential to contribute to the workforce in other positions if provided opportunities and incentives. Therefore, the Navy is directed to establish programs to provide opportunities and financial incentives for top performers to receive four-year engineering degrees, executive management training certificates, and business school degrees. Programs similar to the apprenticeship program can help stave off the impending steep decline in personnel at the shipyards and ensure a more stable workforce. The Navy is directed to work with each shipyard and the respective local educational institutions to craft these programs and report to the House and the Senate Committees on Appropriations by April 30, 2009, on a plan for implementation.
Naval Shipyard Apprentice Program
During fiscal year 2009, the Navy shall induct classes of no fewer than 100 apprentices, respectively, at each of the naval shipyards. The Navy is directed to include the costs of the fiscal year 2010 class of apprentices in its budget request.
U.S. Coast Guard
Department of Defense regulations currently restrict mission appropriated activities from offering reimbursable rates to non-Department of Defense agencies. This restriction forces the Navy to charge the U.S. Coast Guard fully-burdened rates for drydocking services at Navy shipyards rather than reimbursable rates. Therefore, the Navy may use funds appropriated under operation and maintenance to pay the cost to dry dock U.S. Coast Guard ships at Naval shipyards.

Grand Forks Air Force Base, North Dakota, Infrastructure
The January 2008 United States Air Force Weapons Systems Roadmap anticipates a future KC-X tanker mission at Grand Forks Air Force Base after the departure of the base's current fleet of KC-135R tankers. Thus, the Air Force is directed to prepare a report which recommends the best way to keep the base and its associated infrastructure viable until the potential arrival of KC-X tanker aircraft so it does not have to rebuild or recreate facilities and capabilities that now exist. This report shall be provided to the House and the Senate Committees on Appropriations within 90 days of enactment of this Act.

U.S. Africa Command
A stable, secure Africa is strategically important to the United States and our allies. The creation of U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM) is a first-step in developing a persistent, cohesive U.S. policy toward that continent. However, AFRICOM's current funding, staffing and organizational configuration place a disproportionate burden of U.S. policy in Africa on the Department of Defense (DoD).
While armed conflict, terrorism, piracy and trafficking pose real security threats to African stability that can be mitigated by closer military ties between the U.S. and our African partners, many of the challenges facing Africa today require diplomatic, economic, humanitarian and development tools of other, non-DoD U.S. agencies. Calming political unrest, building civil society, consolidating democratic achievements, expanding economic growth, addressing humanitarian crises, preventing the spread of HIV/AIDS and caring for its victims require a robust inter-agency and international approach.
Some of the U.S. partners in Africa have also signaled their discomfort with the military-first approach embodied by AFRICOM. Of the dozen nations asked to host AFRICOM's headquarters or one of the five planned Regional Integration Team (RIT) offices, few have expressed public interest. Despite repeated assurances from the Secretary of Defense, the people and governments of friendly African nations believe that AFRICOM potentially represents a permanent U.S. military presence on the continent.
While the creation of AFRICOM is a crucial first-step in establishing a strategic U.S. policy toward Africa, the current inter-agency division of labor is not optimal for meeting U.S. long term goals. The Department of Defense should work within the inter-agency process to correct the alignment of U.S. human and financial resources to more effectively support the emergence of a stable, secure, successful and democratic Africa. The Department of State and the U.S. Agency for International Development should also play a more significant role in this new organization supported with the appropriate funding and manpower required.
In the mean time, the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the Secretary of State and the Administrator of the U.S. Agency for International Development, is directed to provide a report, no later than April 1, 2009, to the congressional defense committees, on how AFRICOM's mission, staffing, and inter-agency composition can be optimized to create an organization better equipped to meet these policy objectives. The report should also include current thinking on AFRICOM's presence in Africa and any plans related to the permanent location of AFRICOM assets or personnel on the continent.
Military Tires
The Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2008 (Public Law 110-116) directed the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) to ensure that the military tire market remains a fair and competitive marketplace as DLA implements the tire privatization initiative required by the 2005 Base Realignment and Closure Act. Specifically, the conferees directed DLA to ``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.'' There is concern that the DLA has not sufficiently complied with these requirements and the need to ensure that all tire manufacturers are provided access to the Government's forecasts for future tire needs. Therefore, the Secretary of Defense is directed to report to the congressional defense committees by April 15, 2009, on what steps are being taken to maintain a fair and competitive marketplace for military tires.
Defense Contract Management Agency
In fiscal year 2008, Congress provided an additional $14,000,000 to the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) to eliminate planned reductions in full-time staff. This additional funding, which was designated a ``congressional item of interest,'' was nevertheless inappropriately subjected to an across-the-board funding reduction imposed by the Under Secretary of Defense, Comptroller. The Secretary of Defense is directed to provide a report to the congressional defense committees within 60 days of enactment of this Act addressing the following: the justification (if any) for this reduction; the impact of this reduction on the number of full-time DCMA staff; and the Department's plan for restoring any full-time staff that may have been lost as a result of the Department's failure to carry out the directive.
An additional $52,000,000 was also provided to DCMA in the Fiscal Year 2008 Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act for the purpose of hiring 250 full-time contract-management personnel. The Secretary is directed to include in the aforementioned report a spend plan for this additional funding, an assessment of future additional staffing requirements DCMA will have in order to ensure proper oversight and management of anticipated contracting work load, and a workforce plan for achieving the necessary staffing levels.
Global Train and Equip Program
For the Global Train and Equip Program, $350,000,000 is provided under the Defense Security Cooperation Agency. This limited authority was designed as a pilot project to enhance our ongoing programs to train and equip allied nations' counterterrorism efforts. Normally, the Department of State is tasked to perform this critical function, but the Department of Defense requested the ability to augment these efforts due to the Global War on Terror. Increasing the Nation's counterterrorism efforts around the globe is strongly supported but the responsibility to train and equip foreign military forces should rest with the Department of State. The Administration should request funds for this purpose in the Department of State's budget when this authority expires.
Federal Prison Industries
The Bureau of Prisons considers Federal Prison Industries (FPI) an important correctional tool that plays a critical role in reducing inmate recidivism and idleness. To ensure the success of the FPI program, United States Code (USC) Title 18, Chapter 307 requires Federal departments and agencies to purchase products from FPI ``as meet their requirements and may be available''. However, Congress has expressed concern that this provision of law could impose on the Department of Defense a requirement to procure products that do not meet the needs of the Department in terms of price, quality and timeliness of delivery. To meet this concern, section 827 of the National Defense Authorization Act of Fiscal Year 2008 (Public Law 110-181) requires the Secretary to use competitive procedures for the procurement of certain products offered for sale by the FPI. The Secretary is directed to report to the congressional defense committees no later than 45 days after the enactment of this Act on a plan to implement this new requirement, consistent with the requirements of USC Title 18, Chapter 307, Section 4124(d).
Oil Refineries
When making public contract announcements regarding the refining of fuel by U.S. companies, the U.S. Department of Defense should not provide the name of the country for which the fuel is being refined or the location of the facility that will refine the fuel.
Troops to Pilots Demonstration Program
In 2007, Congress directed the Federal Aviation Administration to increase the mandatory retirement age for commercial airline pilots from age 60 to 65, temporarily alleviating the onset of a national pilot shortage. Although this action improved and maintained a legitimate working number of pilots in the civil industry, there remains a growing shortage of new pilots to take over for those who look to retire over the next decade. A potential option for replenishing the dwindling number of experienced aviators in the country would be to utilize retiring or discharged military aviators from military service to civil pilots. The Department of Defense has similar programs designed to ease service members' transition to civilian life, such as Troops to Teachers, Troops to Nurses, and Helmets to Hardhats. Accordingly, $2,500,000 is included for a demonstration program that will train and recruit retiring or discharged military aviators who wish to pursue a career in civilian aviation. This program should be conducted in a state that has a high per capita number of pilots as well as a sizeable military aviation presence. The program should also take into account heavy geographic reliance on aviation along with a robust aviation infrastructure, including academic institutions with expertise in piloting and aviation technology.

Congressional Interest Items
Items for which additional funds have been provided as shown in the project level tables or in paragraphs using the phrase ``only for'' or ``only to'' are congressional interest items for purposes of the Base for Reprogramming Department of Defense form (DD Form 1414). Each of these items must be carried on the DD Form 1414 at the stated amount, as specifically addressed in these materials.
Acquisition Cost
The Department of Defense has exhibited an alarming trend in funding acquisition programs below full cost. In recent years, the Littoral Combat Ship, the Future Combat Systems, the Armed Reconnaissance Helicopter, and the Electromagnetic Aircraft Launching System have all required funds to be reprogrammed in an execution year to correct shortfalls. Additionally, the Joint Strike Fighter, the Future Combat Systems, the Expeditionary Fighting Vehicle, the Global Hawk Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, and the Space Based Infrared Satellite System have all required restructuring by the Department during the budget formulation period. Funds used to correct these shortfalls typically are taken from other acquisition programs. This trend is disturbing and ultimately reduces overall stability in the Department's acquisition programs.
The causes for this practice are varied and many. In some cases, the Department violates its own policy by not funding programs to the estimate provided by the Department's Cost Analysis Improvement Group (CAIG), which is required by statute to conduct an independent cost estimate on major acquisition programs. In other cases, the cost estimates are flawed, missing key elements of cost. Cost growth or technical challenges are frequently cited as a reason for funding shortfalls, although the fundamental causes can usually be traced back to not funding to the proper estimate from program inception. A major contributor to this problem is that lower than reasonable proposals for programs from contractors are oftentimes accepted by the Department as an opportunity to get major programs started because, once started, history has proven that major programs are rarely terminated.
By underfunding programs, the Department lengthens development schedules, costs the taxpayers additional dollars, and delays fielding critical capabilities to our Nation's Armed Forces. The Department must be more accountable and fiscally responsible. Since the Department takes the time and expends the resources to conduct independent cost estimates, it should use that information in formulating budgets for the programs. The Department is directed to provide a report to the congressional defense committees that shows which Acquisition Category I (ACAT I) programs did not use the CAIG estimate as the official program estimate at a milestone decision and an explanation as to why the CAIG estimate was not used. The report should encompass the period from fiscal year 2004 through fiscal year 2008 and be submitted prior to March 1, 2009.
Future Combat Systems (FCS) Restructure
The Future Combat Systems (FCS) remains the Army's top priority modernization program, designed to provide rapidly deployable, highly survivable and lethal forces. While the program has struggled with changing requirements and cost growth in recent years and undergone multiple restructures, support remains strong for the Army's goal to create a more capable and modern force. Most recently, the Army informed Congress of its intent to change the near-term focus of FCS by fielding available capabilities to Infantry Brigade Combat Teams, which are in high demand in the Global War on Terror, and deferring the fielding of these technologies to Heavy Brigade Combat Teams, which were originally slated to first receive the initial FCS spin outs. In support of this program shift, the Army has requested an adjustment to its fiscal year 2009 budget request for FCS from within program funds. Funding in the bill supports the Army's plan to field proven technologies that provide immediate enhanced capabilities to the warfighter and fully supports the Army's requested program adjustments, as detailed below.

Acquisition Workforce Development Fund
Section 852 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008 established the Department of Defense Acquisition Workforce Development Fund (AWDF) to finance recruiting, training, and retention of acquisition personnel. Funding for the AWDF is generated by taking funds appropriated for other programs. In fiscal year 2008, the planned funding level is approximately $258,000,000 and it will grow to $600,000,000 in fiscal year 2011 and thereafter.
There is concern about sustaining a trained, capable and adequately manned acquisition workforce, particularly as the Department faces a wave of retirements over the coming years that may leave the workforce without the most experienced members. However, there are problems with the way the AWDF is currently constituted. These concerns include:
--AWDF funding is not based on an estimate of the program's requirements;
--Projected use of the funding is not provided in advance to Congress;
--The accounting process skews the obligation and expenditure data on appropriations used to finance the AWDF;
--Expiring funds may be used to finance the AWDF thereby extending, or effectively re-appropriating without congressional approval, those funds for up to two years beyond the original life of the appropriation.
The simple and straightforward solution to these problems is to bring the AWDF into the regular appropriations process. The Department is directed to include the funding required for the Acquisition Workforce Development Fund in its fiscal year 2010 budget request.
Government Accountability Office
For each of the past six years, the Government Accountability Office has provided an assessment on a broad range of weapon systems that consists of (1) a macro analysis of how well acquisition programs are performing and reasons for that performance, and (2) specific analyses of individual weapon system programs. The report that results from this annual assessment has proven invaluable as an independent look at cross-cutting acquisition issues and in evaluating the status of individual weapon systems. This work has thus far been conducted under the Comptroller General's own authority. The Comptroller General is directed to perform the annual assessment of selected weapon system programs and to report the results of the assessment to the congressional defense committees by March 30th of each year.
Joint Strike Fighter F-136 Engine Development
The fiscal year 2009 budget request included no funding for the continued development of the F-136 engine as an alternate engine within the Joint Strike Fighter program. The bill includes $430,000,000 for the continued development of this engine within the Navy and Air Force's Joint Strike Fighter development programs and $35,000,000 for advance procurement items within the Aircraft Procurement, Air Force appropriation. The Secretary of Defense is once again directed to fully fund the F-136 engine development and procurement efforts in the fiscal year 2010 budget submission.
Air Force Acquisition
The Air Force continues to experience significant difficulties in acquiring major acquisition systems in a timely and cost effective manner. From protests upheld by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to numerous Nunn-McCurdy breaches, it is apparent that the acquisition process is seriously flawed and change is needed. As a starting point, the Air Force needs to ensure that its programs have well-understood requirements, manageable development cycles, realistic cost estimates, and adequate program funding for the entire development cycle. There are a number of remedies that would improve the Air Force's prospects in its acquisitions. Some examples are:
Disciplined use of tried and true systems engineering practices to ensure that a proposed system's performance requirements are achievable with available resources before beginning an acquisition program;
Establishing a clear business case for each program that is agreed upon by the warfighter, the comptroller, and the acquisition community;
Maturing technologies until they are ready for an acquisition program (separating technology development from acquisition programs);
Continuing to develop a skilled workforce capable of managing requirements trades, source selection, and knowledge-based acquisition strategies;
Basing programmatic decisions on demonstrated knowledge; and
Matching program manager tenure with the duration of the system design and demonstration phase of a program, and tailoring career paths and performance management systems to incentivize longer tenures.
The Secretary of Defense is directed to provide a report no later than March 31, 2009, to the congressional defense committees on the Department's plans to reform Air Force acquisition to address the problems that have continued to plague the acquisition process.
Reprogramming Guidance for Acquisition Accounts
The Department of Defense is directed to continue to follow the reprogramming guidance specified in the House Report (H. Rept.
[Page: H9527]
Reprogramming Reporting Requirements
The Under Secretary of the Department of Defense, Comptroller is directed to continue to provide the congressional defense committees quarterly, spreadsheet-based DD1416 reports for service and defense-wide accounts in titles III and IV of this Act as required in the statement of the managers accompanying the conference report on the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2006.
Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance
The Secretary of Defense notified the House and the Senate Committees on Appropriations of a number of urgent Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) needs for fiscal year 2009 that were not contained in the budget request. In order to respond to these emerging requirements, an increase of $750,000,000 is provided in operation and maintenance, procurement, and research, development, test and evaluation accounts. The following table includes procurement funds provided in support of this initiative.

There is concern with the threat of Soldiers and Marines becoming trapped in overturned HMMWVs. The Army and Marine Corps are encouraged to outfit deployed HMMWVs with a means of rapid emergency egress in the event that the vehicle's doors are inoperable.
Limitation on Single Channel Ground and Airborne Radio System (SINCGARS) Procurement
The bill includes $87,288,000 for the procurement of SINCGARS radios. However, concerns remain about the ability of the Army to adequately manage contracts to fulfill increased operational requirements for SINCGARS radios. In particular, recent acquisition decisions and justifications by the Department of the Army raise questions about its procurement strategies, especially as they relate to the Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS). Therefore, none of the funds in this Act shall be used for procurement of SINCGARS radios until the Secretary of Defense certifies to the congressional defense committees that any such procurement of SINCGARS radios will utilize full and open competition that will provide best value for Army radio requirements including consideration of multi-band, JTRS capable solutions.
Sniper Defeat
There is concern over the Army's slowly evolving approach to providing materiel solutions to the field for Sniper Defeat. To date, the Army has not requested funds for Sniper Defeat in spite of the fact that this issue has been a major concern since the spring of 2006. In February 2007, the Vice Chief of Staff, Army directed that a soldier borne and vehicle/fixed site system be designated as programs of record. As of June 2008, the Army had neither designated a program of record for either the soldier or fixed site program nor had the Army programmed or budgeted any funds for either of these efforts. A notional program schedule for the soldier borne system revealed that initial procurement would not occur until the end of fiscal year 2010 at the earliest. This is an incorrect acquisition approach for what are essentially off the shelf, go to war systems. The Army is expected to budget sufficient funds to ensure all deploying units are equipped with both soldier borne as well as vehicle/fixed site capabilities during pre-deployment training as well as during their deployment.

F/A-18 Super Hornet
Shortfalls exist in the Navy's strike-fighter inventory caused by the aging of older tactical aircraft and the fact that the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program will not begin to deliver carrier aircraft in significant quantities for several years. In the most optimistic scenario, the shortfall is approximately 69 aircraft and it could be well above that level. To ensure that the Navy has sufficient aircraft for the fleet, the Navy is encouraged to budget for a third multi-year procurement of Super Hornet aircraft beginning in fiscal year 2010. In addition, cost reduction measures which will yield future savings for this program should be explored.

MK-54 Torpedo
The MK-54 Torpedo will combine features of several existing torpedo programs with updated processing and software to provide improved performance against modern day threats. Development and performance issues have significantly delayed the production of this weapon. The Navy has informed the House and the Senate Committees on Appropriations that the program has become backlogged to such a degree that $23,000,000 of fiscal year 2008 funding will not be used for fiscal year 2008 torpedo production, but provided to another Navy priority. Increasing the lightweight torpedo inventory is the sixth highest unfunded priority of the Navy. Therefore, the Secretary of the Navy is directed to maintain this funding in the program and use it to finance lightweight torpedo requirements once the torpedo contractor demonstrates a proven production method for the MK-54 program.
Mobile-User Objective System (MUOS)
In late June 2008, Congress was informed that the Mobile-User Objective System (MUOS) program was encountering problems that would delay the program and the launch of the MUOS satellites. Due to this delay and the fact that the MUOS program's integration and test plan schedule is based on an Air Force satellite program that is several years behind schedule, the recommendation reduces the request by $163,500,000 for the launch vehicle for the second MUOS satellite. However, the Navy has informed the Congress that despite the current delays to the program, funding may still be required in fiscal year 2009 to purchase the launch vehicle for the second satellite. As such, a reprogramming will be entertained if the Department of Defense determines that, despite the current delays, funding is required to procure a launch vehicle in fiscal year 2009.

Littoral Combat Ship (LCS)
The bill includes $1,020,000,000 for two LCS seaframes and a rescission of $337,000,000 in fiscal year 2008 LCS funding. Additionally, funds and material from fiscal year 2006 can be used to supplement the fiscal year 2009 LCS program. Due to industrial base concerns, the Navy is directed to make contract awards for the two fiscal year 2009 LCS seaframes as soon as practicable.
LPD-17
The bill includes $933,000,000 for the first year of split funding for the LPD-26. The Navy is directed to budget for the remaining funding requirement in fiscal year 2010.
Surface Combatant Funding
The bill includes $1,507,603,000 for the first year of split funding for the DDG-1000 program. The Navy is directed to budget for the remaining funding requirement in fiscal year 2010 and to award a construction contract consistent with the ship's current acquisition schedule and the Joint Requirements Oversight Council (JROC) review described in the next section. The bill also includes $200,000,000 in advance procurement funding to preserve the option to restart the DDG-51 class destroyer program.
Surface Combatant Review
The Navy's recent decision to truncate production of the DDG-1000 Zumwalt Class destroyers and restart production of the DDG-51 Arleigh Burke Class destroyers will require a program review by the Joint Requirements Oversight Council (JROC). Therefore, the Department is directed to complete a JROC program review, as expeditiously as possible, that examines the Navy's proposal and addresses the warfighting requirements implications of this decision and revalidates future surface combatant warfighting requirements prior to the obligation of any fiscal year 2009 procurement funds for either destroyer program.
Shipbulding Industrial Base Study
The Department's Cost Analysis Improvement Group is conducting a study of the shipbuilding industrial base. The Secretary of Defense is directed to submit the results of that study to the congressional defense committees upon its conclusion.

Common Aviation Command and Control System (CAC2S)
CAC2S is intended to be a modernized, single command and control system designed to replace and consolidate legacy aviation command and air control systems. Since entering the System Design and Demonstration phase in 2002, the program has faced repeated technical hurdles and schedule delays. As a result, the Marine Corps in June altered its acquisition strategy, but did not provide detailed schedules and cost estimates in support of the new acquisition strategy to Congress. The bill provides $10,000,000 for CAC2S in fiscal year 2009, a reduction of $39,339,000, and directs that none of those funds may be obligated until 10 days after the Marine Corps provides updated program details to the congressional defense committees, to include cost estimates and program schedules. It is noted that in the interim, significant amounts of prior year funding remain available to continue the upgrade of legacy systems.

Other Procurement, Air Force Budget Justification Documents
During its budget review, the congressional defense committees rely on justification documents. It is critical that these budget justifications adhere to the guidelines set forth in Department of Defense Financial Management Regulations (FMR). The regulations clearly state that all exhibits must include production schedules and, when appropriate, both quantity and unit cost information. The Other Procurement, Air Force (OPAF) justification book for fiscal year 2009 includes few production schedules, and most P-5 forms omit quantity and unit cost information. In order to remedy these ommissions, the Air Force is directed to take corrective actions to ensure its justification books fully comply with FMR regulations.

Congressional Interest Items
Items for which additional funds have been provided as shown in the project level tables or in paragraphs using the phrase ``only for'' or ``only to'' are congressional interest items for purposes of the Base for Reprogramming Department of Defense form (DD Form 1414). Each of these items must be carried on the DD Form 1414 at the stated amount, as specifically addressed in these materials.
Technology and Industrial Base Considerations
Section 2440 of Title 10 of the United States Code specifically addresses the need for consideration of industrial base when developing and implementing acquisition programs. The Secretary of Defense is directed to comply with 10 U.S.C. 2440 as it applies to the consideration of national technology and industrial base in the development and implementation of acquisition plans for each major defense acquisition program. Additionally, the Secretary of Defense is directed to provide a report to the congressional defense committees within 30 days of enactment of this Act on how the Department implements Section 2440 in the major defense acquisition programs.
KC-135 Tanker Replacement Program
On September 10, 2008, the Secretary of Defense informed the Congress that he was terminating the solicitation for the KC-135 tanker replacement program. After seven years of deliberation, the Department of Defense is no closer to providing the warfighter with a replacement for the aged KC-135s. The Department's latest decision could delay replacing the tankers for several more years. The timing of the Secretary's notification made it too late for the Congress to undertake a comprehensive review of alternatives and mandate a way forward that would be fair to all parties involved. The Department of Defense needs to address this serious problem as quickly as possible. The Department of Defense should consider any practical option that would enable the replacement of the KC-135s expeditiously to include the possibility of awarding competitive contracts to more than one offeror.
In light of the termination, the bill provides $62,500,000 in Operation and Maintenance, Air Force for modest upgrades to the KC-135s to ensure continued reliability of the fleet. In addition, funding is provided for program office operations, termination costs, and anticipated claims from the offerors.
Research, Development, Test and Evaluation (RDT&E) Program Element Codes and Budget Justification Documents
Senate Report 110-155, accompanying the Fiscal Year 2008 Department of Defense Appropriations Act, recommended several improvements to enhance the information provided to Congress in the RDT&E budget documentation materials. This includes 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. Improvements to the quality of the RDT&E budget justification documents are expected to be made beginning with the fiscal year 2010 budget submission.
Reprogramming Guidance for Acquisition Accounts
The Department of Defense is directed to continue to follow the reprogramming guidance specified in the House Report (H. Rept. 110-279) accompanying the Fiscal Year 2008 Department of Defense Appropriations Act. Specifically, the dollar threshold for reprogramming funds will remain at $20,000,000 for procurement, and $10,000,000 for research, development, test and evaluation. The Department shall continue to follow the limitation that prior approval reprogrammings are set at either the specified dollar threshold or 20 percent of the procurement or research, development, test and evaluation line, whichever is less. These thresholds are cumulative. Therefore, if the combined value of transfers into or out of a procurement (P-1) or research, development, test and evaluation (R-1) line exceeds the identified threshold, the Department of Defense must submit a prior approval reprogramming to the congressional defense committees. In addition, guidelines on the application of prior approval reprogramming procedures for congressional special interest items are established elsewhere in this explanatory statement.
Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance
The Secretary of Defense notified the House and the Senate Committees on Appropriations of a number of urgent Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) needs for fiscal year 2009 that were not contained in the budget request. In order to respond to these emerging requirements, an increase of $750,000,000 is provided in operation and maintenance, procurement, and research, development, test and evaluation accounts. The following table includes research, development, test and evaluation funds provided in support of this initiative.
Line | Account | Item | |
R-239 | CRDDW | Global Observer | $40,000 |
Reprogramming Reporting Requirements
The Under Secretary of the Department of Defense, Comptroller is directed to continue to provide the congressional defense committees quarterly, spreadsheet-based DD1416 reports for service and defense-wide accounts in titles III and IV of this Act as required in the statement of the managers accompanying the conference report on the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2006.

Aerial Canopy Sensor Delivery System
The Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2008, provided in Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Defense-Wide, $1,000,000 in Line 27, SO/LIC Advanced Development, for Aerial Canopy Sensor Delivery System. U.S. Special Operations Command and the Army now concur that the proper account for funding this program is Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Army, Line 45, Electronic Warfare Technology. The Secretary of Defense is directed to initiate a reprogramming action to provide the funds to the Army for proper execution.
Warfighter Information Network--Tactical (WIN-T)
The budget request for fiscal year 2009 contains $414,357,000 for Warfighter Information Network--Tactical (WIN-T) research and development. Within that amount, $330,438,000 is to continue research and development efforts for WIN-T Increment 3, full networking on the move. There is concern with the lack of definitized requirements and program costs for Increment 3. Additionally, the revised program acquisition baseline is not expected to be completed until almost two years after the Nunn-McCurdy breach, creating an uncertain basis for the budget request. Therefore, the amount proposed in the budget request has been reduced by $20,000,000. Additionally, the Comptroller General is directed to continue his review of the WINT program under the guidelines set forth in Senate Report 110-155.
Tungsten/Cobalt Alloy Carcinogen Study
There is concern with the potential carcinogenic nature of tungsten/cobalt alloys and the Army is encouraged, in conjunction with the research community, to undertake a study to determine if tungsten/cobalt alloys are a probable human carcinogen in either the manufacturing or employment of ammunition and other defense equipment.
Rock Island Arsenal
The Rock Island Arsenal is undertaking efforts to demonstrate small scale, clean energy conversion technology to provide an uninterruptible source of energy for potential use at Department of Defense facilities. The Army is encouraged to determine what environmental, economic, and safety benefits might be achieved by this energy initiative.

Mine Warfare
The Mine Warfare Mission Modules onboard the Littoral Combat Ships (LCS) will provide a significant portion of the Navy's Mine Warfare capability. Delays in the fielding of the LCS translate to a commensurate delay in fielding the mine warfare capability provided by these platforms. Given that the LCS will not be fully operational in significant numbers until well into the next decade, the Nation cannot afford such a delay to the mine warfare capability provided by the associated mission modules. However, the mine warfare capability provided by the mission modules can provide benefit to the fleet even without the LCS platform. Therefore, $3,800,000 is provided to the LCS mission module development effort to research and study methods to employ these modules independently of the LCS platform. The Secretary of the Navy is directed to provide a report to the congressional defense committees not later than June 30, 2009, detailing the results of this study and the plan for the operational employment of the mine warfare mission modules independent of the LCS.
Electromagnetic Aircraft Launching System (EMALS)
An additional $24,000,000 is provided to address cost overruns in the Electromagnetic Aircraft Launching System (EMALS) program. Due to continuing concerns about meeting the schedule for integration into PCU Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78), the Secretary of the Navy is directed to submit a report to the congressional defense committees by April 1, 2009, which shall contain a description of efforts to control cost and schedule, an updated schedule for completion of research and development efforts and integration into CVN-78, and an assessment of aircraft launch system options for CVN-78, including cost estimates of those options, if the EMALS program experiences further delays.
Bone Marrow Registry
The bill includes $31,500,000 for the Department of the Navy, to be administered by the C.W. Bill Young Marrow Donor Recruitment and Research Program, also known as and referred to within the Naval Medical Research Center as the Bone Marrow Registry. Funds appropriated for the C.W. Bill Young Marrow Donor Recruitment and Research Program shall remain available only for the purposes for which they were appropriated, and may only be obligated for the C.W. Bill Young Marrow Program. This Department of Defense donor center has recruited more than 475,000 Department of Defense volunteers, and provides more marrow donors per week than any other donor center in the Nation. More than 2,880 servicemembers and other Department volunteers from this donor center have provided marrow to save the lives of patients. The success of this national and international life-saving program for military and civilian patients, which now includes more than 7,000,000 potential volunteer donors is admirable. Further, the agencies involved in contingency planning are encouraged to continue to include the C.W. Bill Young Marrow Donor Recruitment and Research Program in the development and testing of their contingency plans. The Department of Defense form (DD Form 1414) shall show this as a congressional interest item. The Department is further directed to release all the funds appropriated for this purpose to the C.W. Bill Young Marrow Donor Recruitment and Research Program within 60 days of enactment of this Act.
Joint Counter Radio-Controlled Electronic Warfare (JCREW)
The Navy has been designated as the executive agent for JCREW 3.3 to protect personnel from improvised explosive devices (IEDs), and is dependent upon transfer of funds from the Joint IED Defeat Organization for critical science and technology projects. Reliance on other sources of funding is inconsistent with the Navy's role as executive agent for JCREW 3.3. Therefore, the Secretary of the Navy is directed to fund these enabling science and technology projects within the Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Navy account in future budget requests.
Electric Propulsion Technology for Surface Combatants
Significant steps have been taken in developing more energy efficient alternatives to the mechanical drive propulsion systems currently powering Navy ships. Funding has been provided for several years to mature electric propulsion technologies to support current and future Navy needs, either as an upgrade to DDG-51 or DDG-1000 class ships, or for the next-generation cruiser. Therefore, due to the increased flexibility, projected fuel savings and performance enhancements provided by such technologies, the Secretary of the Navy is directed to continue the exploration of electric propulsion as an integrated part of its surface combatant design and construction plan. Additionally, the Navy is encouraged to continue the development of all-electric technology by including funding in future Shipboard System Component Development (Program Element 0603513N) budget requests.
RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT, TEST AND EVALUATION, AIR FORCE
For Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Air Force, funds are to be available for fiscal year 2009, as follows:

Maui Space Surveillance System (MSSS)
The bill provides an increase of $22,000,000 over the budget request for sustainment, investment in new technologies and initiatives, and research and development activities at MSSS. The Air Force is directed 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.
Space Major Force Program
In the Fiscal Year 2008 Department of Defense Appropriations Act, the Secretary of Defense was directed to create a major force program category for space for the future years defense program of the Department of Defense. Further clarification toward this intent is required. The virtual major force program has been an established measure for several years and it is considered an acceptable foundation for development of the final space major force program inventory. The current virtual major force program includes space-based assets and the associated non-space, command, control, communications, and intelligence assets supporting the space systems.
Space systems are not just the satellites resident in the exo-atmosphere butalso include the associated terminal programs. In the past, these terminal programs were desynchronized from the space platforms due to funding shortfalls and schedule delays. In the future, a tighter coupling of these programs is required. Therefore, these terminal programs must be included in the space major force program inventory. The Department of Defense is directed to implement the final space major force program prior to the submission of the fiscal year 2011 budget. Furthermore, six months after enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense is directed to report to the congressional defense committees the status of the population and development of the space major force program.
Missile Warning
The current Defense Support Program constellation of satellites is aging and needs to be replaced. The Air Force has been pursuing the Space Based Infrared Satellite System--geosynchronous (SBIRS-GEO) component for over a decade and the development is almost complete. A sister system, Space Based Infrared Satellite System--highly elliptical orbit (SBIRS-HEO) has launched, successfully initialized, and is providing extraordinary data, well beyond expectations. However, the SBIRS-HEO component is not fully integrated into the ground system, so the data products are not fully exploited. Therefore, the bill includes $15,000,000 above the budget request to be used for increased SBIRS-HEO ground integration and data exploitation.
Furthermore, to date the Department of Defense has not planned for additional SBIRS-GEO satellites. In order to avoid a production break and the associated costs, the Department of Defense is directed to begin procurement of the fourth and fifth SBIRS-GEO satellites in the fiscal year 2010 budget request.
National Security Space Office
The original intent of the National Security Space Office (NSSO) was to provide the Executive Agent for Space with an analysis team that would make recommendations to the priorities, capabilities and budgets of both the Department of Defense and intelligence community space programs. In recent years, the NSSO has lost the support of the National Reconnaissance Office, which has provided no funding for the NSSO, and the Air Force and other Department of Defense organizations have used the NSSO as personal staff. The Secretary of Defense and the Director of National Intelligence are directed to assess the roles and responsibilities of the NSSO and to report back to the congressional defense oversight committees by May 15, 2009.
Coal to Liquid Fuels
The Congress understands that the Air Force is strongly committed to an energy strategy that looks to certify their entire fleet of aircraft on a synthetic fuel blend by 2011, with the intent to purchase 50 percent of their aviation fuel used in the United States in the form of a synthetic fuel blend by 2016. Part of this strategy involves examining at the feasibility, cost effectiveness, and environmental impacts of building coal-to-liquid fuel (CTL) plants, utilizing enhanced-use leasing authorities. It is envisioned that these plants would be built in strategic locations, where there are abundant coal and water resources to operate these plants. Consistent with the Air Force vision and availability of resources necessary for a CTL plant, a total of $10,000,000 is provided only to support Air Force efforts in siting and contracting for such a plant on Eielson Air Force Base. This funding is split between Operation and Maintenance, Air Force, and Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Air Force accounts.
The Secretary of the Air Force is directed to submit a report to the congressional defense committees no later than April 1, 2009, which provides the framework for a joint partnership between the Department of Defense and a private developer, to include an associated milestone schedule, a preliminary design, engineering studies, and the plan to accomplish any required environmental work.

Energy Strategy for the Department Of Defense
Achieving improved energy efficiency, which includes reduced consumption, expanded sources of supply as well as a reduction in our dependence on foreign oil are possibly the greatest national security challenges facing our nation.
In 2006, according to the Defense Science Board, the Department of Defense consumed 110,000,000 barrels of premium fuel and 3,800,000,000 kilowatt hours of electricity at a cost of $13,600,000,000. Of this amount, $10,000,000,000 was spent on fuel for combat and combat-related systems, and another $3,600,000,000 to power the Department of Defense's infrastructure. The major challenges to fuel efficiency are operational, tactical and fixed based.
The most recent Defense Science Board Task Force is but the latest in a long line of reports addressing the necessity for a reduction in the fuel burden. The 2001 Defense Science Board Task Force report entitled, ``More Capable Warfighting through Reduced Fuel Burden,'' stated that 70 percent of the tonnage the Army ships into battle is associated with fuel logistics and that multiple technologies were available at all levels of maturity that could reduce demand. Furthermore, it advocated ``including fuel efficiency as a key performance parameter in all operational requirements documents and capstone requirements documents.'' It was not until 2007 that the Department issued a memorandum making it policy to include the fully burdened cost of delivered energy in trade off analyses conducted for all tactical systems and identified only three pilot programs.
While the Department is the leading consumer of fuel in the U.S., the Air Force is the leading consumer of fuel within the Department. The Air Force has been in the forefront on alternative fuels and is on the path to qualify all Air Force aircraft on a coal-based jet fuel by 2012. The challenge in using coal-based jet fuels is directly dependent upon carbon capture and sequestration to mitigate CO
2 emissions.
The Department is provided $20,000,000 to initiate research into carbon capture and sequestration technology for the future production of coal-based jet fuel. The Department is encouraged to budget for the continued research of this initiative in the fiscal year 2010 request. The Secretary of Defense is directed to provide the congressional defense committees with specific plans for utilizing these funds to include specific details and goals not later than 90 days after enactment of this Act.
Similarly, in the fixed base, there is a near total reliance on the commercial power grid. Efforts to raise the issue and support alternative and/or renewable energy sources for the Department of Defense have been sporadic at best.
The Department of Defense's scattered efforts to address the energy issue throughout its organization is coupled with minimal centralized policy and oversight. The Defense Science Board Task Force went on to say, ``decisions that create energy demand are dispersed organizationally across the Department and throughout the services. There is no unifying vision, strategy, or metrics or governance structure with enterprise-wide energy in its portfolio.''
The Department of Defense can no longer rely on such haphazard approaches to energy. Our future national security and military readiness demands swift action guided by a clear mandate.
The Secretary of Defense is encouraged to appoint a senior official to be responsible for energy efficiency. Further, the Department is directed to address comprehensively and submit a report, not later than June 15, 2009, regarding energy efficiency and how it will be given greater importance and weight in all aspects of the Department's resource allocation process.
Transformational Medical Technologies Initiative (TMTI)
The fiscal year 2009 budget request includes $240,900,000 for the Transformational Medical Technologies Initiative (TMTI) in program elements 0601384BP, 0602384BP and 0603384BP of the Chemical and Biological Defense Program, an increase of $105,000,000 over the amount appropriated in fiscal year 2008. Of the amount requested for fiscal year 2009, more than half, or $123,900,000, is requested for new start projects, an increase of $78,300,000 over the amount provided for new projects in fiscal year 2008. This growth for new starts is excessive at this juncture in the program and the request for new start projects in fiscal year 2009 is reduced by $70,000,000. The Special Assistant, Chemical and Biological Defense is directed to provide the annual TMTI report (as detailed in Senate Report 109--292) with the submission of the fiscal year 2010 budget request.
Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA)
The fiscal year 2009 budget request for DARPA is $3,285,569,000, an increase of $326,493,000, more than 10 percent, over the fiscal year 2008 appropriated program of $2,959,076,000. In recent years, DARPA has repeatedly underexecuted its funded program level, executing a fiscal year 2005 program that was nine percent below the appropriated program and a fiscal year 2006 program that was twelve percent below the appropriated program. Based on program execution to date, DARPA will likely continue that trend for the fiscal year 2007 and 2008 programs. While DARPA's continued underexecution can partially be explained by its fiscally responsible management approach of withholding funds from projects that fail to demonstrate progress, doubts exist about DARPA's ability to responsibly manage such a large increase. Therefore, the bill provides $3,142,229,000, a reduction of $143,340,000 from the request. The Director of DARPA is directed to provide to the congressional defense committees not later than 60 days after enactment of this Act a report that details by program element and project the application of undistributed reductions made in this Act.
The conference reports accompanying the fiscal year 2007 and 2008 Department of Defense Appropriations Acts cited the lack of individual project level detail provided in DARPA's budget justification materials. While the high-risk nature of many DARPA projects makes it hard to pinpoint detailed schedules, there is concern about the lack of detail provided for individual projects regarding their scope, notional schedule and overall funding requirements. Moreover, project funding is often adjusted from one year to the next without justification. DARPA is directed to provide greater programmatic detail for its projects in its justification materials beginning with the fiscal year 2010 budget request. Further, DARPA is encouraged to continue to pursue transition plans for all of its Advanced Technology Development programs. The Director of DARPA is directed to submit with the fiscal year 2010 budget submission the report on transitions that was initiated in fiscal year 2009.
New Starts in the Year of Execution
The fiscal year 2009 budget request includes no less than $176,770,000 in the Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Defense-Wide account for new start programs that will be selected and initiated in fiscal year 2009, an increase of $61,766,000 from the amount above the fiscal year 2007 level. While there is awareness of the need for certain programmatic flexibility to address urgent unfunded requirements, this level of funding is unjustified, particularly in light of the fact that several projects continue to be resourced from these funds over a sustained period of time without transitioning to funded programs of record. Additionally, congressional notification of programs initiated with these funds has been lagging and inconsistent. Therefore, the bill reduces the request for these programs by ten percent.
Joint Report on Coal-to-Liquid Fuels
The Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the Department of Energy's Office of Fossil Energy is directed to submit a report to the congressional defense committees no later than March 31, 2009, on alternatives to reduce the life cycle emissions of coal-to-liquid fuels and potential uses of coal-to-liquid fuels to meet the Department of Defense's mobility energy requirements. The report shall examine, at a minimum, the following: the potential clean energy alternatives for powering the coal-to-liquids conversion processes, including nuclear, solar, and wind energies; the alternatives for reducing carbon emissions during the coal-to-liquids conversion processes; and the military utility of coal-to-liquid fuels for military operations and for use by expeditionary forces compared with the military utility and life cycle emissions of mobile, in-theater synthetic fuel processes.
Infrared Focal Plane Arrays
Infrared Focal Plane Arrays (IFPA) are the key to infrared sensor systems widely used by the military. New and improved military capabilities will require the development of new and more complex arrays. Recent reports reveal that the United States, which has traditionally held the lead in IFPA technology, is falling behind. This poses the very real threat that the United States government could lose control of this technology. The Department of Defense is directed to review developments in this critical area and report on the status of the United States' competitive position, and if warranted, provide a plan of action to remedy the situation. This report should be submitted no later than 90 days after enactment of this Act.
Climate Change and National Security
Climate change is a key environmental issue that has national security implications. The Department of Defense should assess the impact of climate change on our coasts, water resources, and other geographic and environmental components of the United States national security. The Department of Defense should also establish a baseline set of indicators for assessing climate change and a set of tools for measuring its future impact on those aspects of climate change that could affect our national security.
Missile Defense Agency (MDA) Reporting Requirements and Justification Materials
The budget information provided by the MDA does not allow sufficient oversight of the Ballistic Missile Defense programs. The programs change significantly from the time the budget is submitted to the time funding is appropriated, making it extremely difficult to understand what is actually in the budget on an annual basis. The justification materials should no longer be presented in the block structure format, but rather by fiscal year for each activity within the program element. The documents must provide
[Page: H9714]
Past Congresses have established a framework of laws that require program and cost reporting to Congress to help exercise this oversight. The MDA is directed to report according to the existing acquisition laws to improve accountability and transparency of the programs.
Near-Term Missile Defense Programs
In order to execute a balanced program, the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) must continue to field the near-term missile defense programs, primarily Ground-Based Missile Defense (GMD), AEGIS Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD), and Theater High Area Altitude Defense (THAAD) programs. Funding for fielding these programs, however, is sacrificed each year to pay for the development of futuristic missile defense programs. Therefore, the bill reduces funding for several of the far-term programs, such as the Multiple Kill Vehicle, the Airborne Laser, and Space Test Bed and provides an additional $120,000,000 for enhancements to the GMD, AEGIS and THAAD programs. The MDA is directed to provide a report to the congressional defense committees by December 1, 2008, on how those additional funds will be allocated to the programs.
The Joint Capability Mix (JCM) study, conducted by the Joint Staff, concluded that U.S. combatant commanders need about twice as many Standard Missile-3 and THAAD interceptors as currently planned to meet minimum operational requirements for defending against short and medium-range ballistic missiles. The MDA's highest priority should be to achieve the minimum levels of interceptor inventories identified in the JCM study and the Department of Defense should budget accordingly in its fiscal year 2010 budget submission.
European Capability--Third Site
Three separate program elements are recommended for the European Missile Defense sites in order to provide adequate visibility of these initiatives and to ensure that funding for the Ground-Based Missile Defense, Sensors, and Command and Control program elements are not adversely impacted by the European sites.
The bill provides $467,150,000 for European missile defense and development and testing of the two-stage interceptor. The first program element provides $363,250,000 for the development and testing of the two-stage interceptors and the interceptor site planned for Poland. The bill provides $182,900,000 for development and testing of the two-stage interceptors; $19,200,000 for long-lead components for two-stage interceptors; and $65,500,000 for site planning, design and activation. Due to the delay in ratification of a missile defense agreement with Poland, funding for missile field equipment is reduced by $82,550,000 and communications by $13,100,000, half of the request.
The second program element provides $76,800,000 for the European Midcourse Radar (EMR) to be located in the Czech Republic. The bill provides $15,800,000 for site planning, design and activation, but reduces funding for sensor equipment by $15,000,000 and communications by $6,000,000 due to at least a three month delay in ratification of an agreement with the Czech government in fiscal year 2009.
The third program element provides $27,100,000 for the European Global Engagement Manager and U.S. Communications for the European sites. Due to the delay in ratifying agreements with the European host sites, the request is reduced by $14,000,000. The bill provides no funding for the European Forward Based Radar (AN-TPY-2) since a location has not been determined for the site.
These estimates do not include costs for barracks, family housing or any other costs normally associated with infrastructure of a cantonment area of a military facility. Also, the estimate does not include personnel costs for manning the facilities.
Space Tracking and Surveillance System (STSS)
It is premature for the Missile Defense Agency to move forward with a follow-on STSS constellation until after a successful launch and thorough analysis of the STSS demonstrator data. No funding is provided to begin work on an STSS follow-on constellation, an STSS gap filler, space sensor research and development, or any other space demonstration program.
Flight Test Delays and Cancellations
As one of the largest research, development, test and evaluation programs in the Department of Defense, the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) has established a pattern of cost, schedule and performance problems. Tests were delayed or cancelled in fiscal years 2006, 2007 and 2008 and it is not unreasonable to assume that some of the tests planned for fiscal year 2009 will likely slip into subsequent fiscal years. The MDA annually conducts operational testing of the Ballistic Missile Defense System through a series of planned tests which are outlined in the Integrated Master Test Plan (IMTP). The numbers reflected in the IMTP only address successful flights of a missile. Rates of delay, cancellations or changes that occur annually in the testing programs and which affect the programming and budgeting of future years are not addressed.
In fiscal years 2006 through 2008, the MDA conducted approximately 85 percent of the planned tests in the same fiscal year as originally scheduled. The MDA's fiscal year 2009 test schedule reflects 13 flight tests with 77 percent of these tests scheduled for the third and fourth quarters of 2009. The fiscal year 2009 test schedule contains two major flight tests to support Ground-Based Midcourse Defense (FTG-05 and FTG-06). Combined, these tests cost approximately $300,000,000. Department of Defense officials have expressed concern that FTG-06 will not have a target vehicle to support the test within fiscal year 2009. Therefore, the Missile Defense Agency is directed to report to the congressional defense committees by January 15, 2009, on the state of the testing program and what funding shortfalls exist, if any.
Targets
The Missile Defense Agency (MDA) has renewed its focus and commitment to the target program and must continue this momentum in order to achieve optimal production and deliveries. In order to ensure that the program office has the proper oversight of all funding for the targets program, the bill transfers the entire request for targets from the individual program elements to the Test and Target program element.
The bill provides an additional $32,000,000 above the budget request for the flexible family of targets to initiate an inventory build up of critical long lead hardware items. However, there are additional funding shortfalls for targets that need to be addressed in fiscal year 2009. The MDA should submit an above threshold reprogramming to the congressional defense committees to ensure that this important component of missile defense testing is adequately funded. In addition, MDA should adequately address shortfalls in its out-year budget requests for targets to continue inventory buildup to ensure proper support of the rigorous testing program planned beginning in fiscal year 2010.
Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD)
The bill transfers $65,000,000 from Program Element 0603881C to Procurement, Defense-Wide, Line 95, as identified by the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) to recover schedule and mitigate production line gaps for Fire Unit #3 and #4. The MDA is directed to identify additional funds to ensure production line continuity.
Standard Missile-3 (SM-3) Interceptors
The bill transfers $57,100,000 from Program Element 0603892C to Procurement, Defense-Wide, Line 95, for advance procurement of SM-3 Block 1A interceptors.
Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense
Management of the kill vehicle for the Standard Missile-Block II is being done by the Kill Vehicle program office instead of the AEGIS program. The AEGIS program has had a long history of success working with the Navy to manage the entire development and fielding of the Standard Missile, and any change in management could result in a delay to the program. Therefore, the AEGIS program is directed to manage all current and future Standard Missile development and upgrades for ballistic missile defense, including the kill vehicles.
Space-Based Interceptor Study
The bill provides $5,000,000 to support the study outlined in section 236 of S. 3001, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2009.

Defense Health Program Reprogramming Procedures
There is concern regarding the transfer, lack of proper budgeting and the reprogramming of funds from Direct (or In-house) Care to other budget activities within operation and maintenance. To limit transfers and enhance Congressional oversight within the Defense Health Program operation and maintenance account, language is included in the accompanying bill which limits the funds available for Private Sector Care under the TRICARE program subject to prior approval reprogramming procedures. The bill language and accompanying statement should not be interpreted by the Department as limiting the amount of funds that may be transferred to the Direct Care system.
In addition, the services are not properly budgeting for actual execution levels among the budget activity groups. Therefore, the Direct Care System funding will continue to be designated as a congressional special interest item. Any transfer of funds from the Direct (or In-house) Care budget activity into the Private Sector Care budget activity or any other budget activity shall require the Department of Defense to follow prior approval reprogramming procedures.
The Navy and the Air Force budget requests for In-House Care are in excess of actual requirements. Therefore, funds have been transferred from Navy and Air Force In-House Care to other budget activities to reflect estimated funding requirements.
In addition, the Department of Defense is directed to review budget execution data for all of the Defense Health Program accounts and to adequately reflect changes to the budget activities requested by the services in future budget submissions beginning in fiscal year 2010.
Private Sector Care Reduction
The bill has reduced the Private Sector Care Budget Activity Group by $200,000,000 as a result of routine health care for servicemembers and their families returning to the military treatment facilities from private sector care. The actual private sector care funding required in fiscal year 2008 was $200,000,000 below the budget request, as demonstrated by prior approval reprogramming (FY08-11) submitted to the congressional defense committees by the Department of Defense.
Carryover
The bill provides a one percent carryover for fiscal year 2009 operation and maintenance. The Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs is directed to submit to the congressional defense committees within 30 days after enactment of this Act a detailed spending plan for the fiscal year 2008 designated carryover funds.
The Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs is also directed to submit justification to the congressional defense committees not later than January 15, 2009, as to the continuing need to provide carryover in future budgets. 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.
Strategic Communications
In 2007, the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs (ASD(HA)) and the Military Health System (MHS) established an office for MHS Strategic Communications to address and respond to the various issues related to wounded warrior and the MHS. According to the Department of Defense, this new office was created to coordinate with the communications offices within the MHS and the services to serve as a hub for the MHS to respond to questions and interviews from the press, to manage and maintain the MHS web site, and to develop communication products and messages. In addition to creating and staffing this new office, the Department recently awarded a $3,900,000 contract to provide contracted personnel and to advise the Director, MHS Strategic Communications office in the execution of the MHS Strategic Communications Plan. There is great concern that the services provided through this contract are duplicative to the roles and responsibilities of the staff employed in this office. Therefore, the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs and the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness are directed to provide a report to the congressional defense committees, not later than March 6, 2009, that details the roles, responsibilities, staffing, and resources of the strategic communications office and a detailed justification of this contract. The Department is further restricted from extending this contract without the approval of the defense subcommittees of the Committees on Appropriations of the House and the Senate.
Traumatic Brain Injury and Psychological Health
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) and psychological health issues have emerged as a significant cause of death to the war fighters in Iraq and Afghanistan. Whether mild, moderate or severe brain injury, the level of assessment and standard of care provided to the war fighter is in need of enhancement. Diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation must be at a level to ensure the best possible outcome. To this end, the bill includes $300,000,000 above the budget request to address all levels of brain injury and psychological health issues that servicemembers and their families have experienced during the Global War on Terror. The Department is expected to request any additional resources for these requirements in the upcoming supplemental request for fiscal year 2009.
The Department continues to work diligently to establish a center of excellence to provide specialized treatment and rehabilitation for brain injured troops, but much more is needed and the Department is expected to continue to provide the necessary care and treatment to servicemembers and their families. The vast majority of disabled troops will ultimately return to their home communities, which may be far removed from specialized centers. Therefore, the identification of local services is crucial to an appropriate rehabilitation plan and the Department of Veterans Affairs and military centers should coordinate with civilian centers to guarantee that optimal treatments and assistance are available throughout the country.
The Department is aware of gaps within TBI and psychological treatment methods that need to be addressed. The Department is expected to continue working with the Department of Veterans Affairs, Department of Health and Human Services, academia and industry to focus on the research and treatment necessary to address the gaps that have been identified.
An area of particular interest is the provision of appropriate and accessible counseling to servicemembers and their families who live in locations that are not close to military treatment facilities, other Military Health System health facilities or TRICARE providers. Web-based delivery of counseling has significant potential to offer counseling to personnel who otherwise might not be able to access it. Therefore, the Department is directed to establish and use a web-based Clinical Mental Health Services Program as a way to deliver critical clinical mental health services to servicemembers and their families in rural areas. Further, the Department is directed to report to the congressional defense committees on how they have incorporated a web-based program within the Defense Center of Excellence (DCoE) and its entities by March 16, 2009.
Funding provided in this bill is also to be used for the development and operation of the DCoE and the various centers, programs and initiatives that fall within its purview and resources to support the service medical departments as they continue to build and expand their TBI and psychological health capacity through initiatives and many supportive programs. Other initiatives, such as telehealth, clinical standards supporting TBI and psychological health, and training and education outreach should also be included.
Funding has also been provided to continue medical research and development on TBI and psychological health. The following research topics are recommended for consideration under this program: studies of mental health disorders and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) to include neuropsychiatric studies, biochemical mechanisms that underlie human emotional reactions to combat stress and resulting clinical disorders, metrics for mental health assessment and methods to evaluate and improve PTSD rehabilitation efforts; studies of Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) including basic research on neural injury treatments, cell replacement and regrowth strategies, specific therapies to prevent and reverse spinal cord and other neuro-traumatic damage, pharmaceutical interventions to stimulate neural circuits, ``activity-based'' physical therapy, and extended rehabilitation focused on impairments in vision and cognitive functioning; clinical research of blast-related cell damage and the resulting effects on neurological response; 3D models of IED blast waves to develop equipment to mitigate injury to service members; a fully automated, self contained, disposable chip to diagnose TBI at the point of onset; DA-EEG assessment and MRI quantization to allow an accurate assessment of TBI; computational approaches to integrate global transcriptomics and proteomics information to indentify the biological networks altered following TBI; studies of PTSD and/or TBI including basic research in neurorehabilitation, the integration of informatics, and advanced computational research to analyze brain tissue and activities, the use of advanced neuroimaging, behavioral and genetic information to develop biomarkers, diagnostics, and treatments for semi-acute and chronic injury stages. Funding provided for research and development shall incorporate all aspects of research in the areas of TBI and psychological health by conducting basic science and translational research for the purposes of understanding the etiology and developing preventive interventions and new treatments and evaluating the outcomes to arrive at best-practice solutions. This requirement includes incorporating training, combat theater operations, and post deployment evidence-based preventive and early intervention measures, practices, or procedures to reduce the likelihood that personnel in combat will develop PTSD or other stress-related conditions or sustain traumatic brain injuries.
Increasing the Availability and Access to Mental Health Services
There is continued concern with the Department of Defense regarding mental health care for servicemembers returning from Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom. Reports outlining gaps in coverage and poor access to care, especially in large rural and urban areas that support a large population of returning
[Page: H9728]
Therefore, the Department of Defense is directed to make funds available for projects and programs throughout the United States that (1) serve a high population of returning servicemembers; (2) encompass both large rural and urban areas; and (3) have an existing infrastructure that utilizes a combination of local mental health associations, community support networks, private sector mental health care provider networks, and universities for the purpose of enhancing the local access, delivery, education and outreach of mental health services for servicemembers and their families.
Diabetes Research
The growth of type I and type II diabetes in the United States, specifically the growing number of children, teens and young adults is of concern. The health care expenditures associated with treatment of this disease are drastically increasing. Without proper medical care, monitoring and patient education, diabetes results in health consequences and eventually death. Nutrition, early detection, diagnosis and treatment are essential to alleviate this trend.
The bill provides $15,500,000 for the Air Force Diabetes Program. Of the funds provided, $4,000,000 shall be for type I diabetes and $11,500,000 shall be for type II diabetes. Within the $11,500,000 provided for type II diabetes, $8,500,000 shall not be obligated until a new strategic plan, including a full estimate of the program by year has been submitted to and approved by the Air Force Surgeon General.
The Air Force Surgeon General is directed to review the Diabetes Program on a monthly basis to ensure that all goals and milestones are reached prior to obligation of funding provided in fiscal year 2009. Prior to obligating funds within the limitation specified above, the Air Force Surgeon General shall submit a report to the congressional defense committees which provides specific details for all funding provided for this program.
Finally, the Diabetes Program is directed to look at new and innovative ways such as metabolic research, physiology and holistic approaches that would be beneficial, while working in conjunction with the current program, to the military and civilian populations.
Peer-Reviewed Cancer Research Program
The bill provides $16,000,000 for a peer-reviewed cancer research program that would research cancers not addressed in the breast, prostate and ovarian cancer research programs currently executed by the Department of Defense, and specifically the U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command (USAMRMC).
The funds provided are directed to be used to conduct research in the following areas: $4,000,000 for research of melanoma and other skin cancers as related to deployments of servicemembers to areas of high exposure; $2,000,000 for research of pediatric brain tumors within the field of childhood cancer research; $8,000,000 for genetic cancer research and its relation to exposure to the various environments that are unique to a military lifestyle; and $2,000,000 for non-invasive cancer ablation research into non-invasive cancer treatment including selective targeting with nano-particles.
The funds provided under the Peer-Reviewed Cancer Research Program shall be used only for the purposes listed above. The Department of Defense is directed to provide a report by March 16, 2009, to the congressional defense committees on the status of this new Peer-Reviewed Cancer Research Program as to the relevance of this type of research for servicemembers and their families.
Warriors in Transition
Fiscal year 2008 has proven that the military's system for housing, treating, transitioning and integrating soldiers after injury is extremely challenged. The problems occurred on many levels from failed infrastructure, rehabilitative care, and administrative process, to policy incongruities between the Department of Defense and the services. Warriors in transition are defined as soldiers that meet the qualifications for medical hold, medical holdover or active duty medical extension, and active component soldiers who require a medical evaluation board or have medical needs requiring more than six months of treatment.
It is perplexing that this situation continues despite all of the effort expended to prevent it. Therefore, the bill provides an additional $240,000,000 to the $319,000,000 within Base Operations for facilities sustainment, restoration and modernization for the Army, Navy and Air Force, to continue improving the facilities that care for our servicemembers and their families.
The Secretary of Defense is directed to report to the congressional defense committees by March 16, 2009, on how the Department is executing the funding provided and that the funding is being used for the highest priorities as submitted by the services. Additional resources have been provided to the services in the past and the Department must make adjustments to budget submissions to reflect these requirements of the Military Health System.
The above issues, coupled with the increasing number of soldiers entering the disability process, have adversely affected the capability to timely meet the needs of both the soldiers and the services. The process of warrior transition will continued to be followed and the Secretary of Defense is directed to report quarterly to the congressional defense committees on the status of warrior transition improvements and requirements.
Vision Research
The Department of the Army is continually assessing new technologies and therapies to address the ocular issues of servicemembers. Current research targets the causes, effects, and treatment of eye damage and diseases that, despite their different mechanisms and pathogenesis, all have a common end result: degeneration of the critical components of the eye and impairment or loss of vision. In order to implement therapeutic strategies to prevent or treat visual problems common to combat soldiers, the Army needs to develop and validate compounds and strategies. Therefore, the bill provides $4,000,000 for vision research and directs the Army to target the various causes, effects and treatment of visual injury resulting from exposures to the elements during combat operations, and damage from explosive devices. This type of research will ultimately be used to ensure and sustain combat readiness.
Peer-Reviewed Lung Cancer Research
The bill includes $20,000,000 for lung cancer research. Lung cancer is the most lethal of all cancers taking more lives each year than all the other major cancers combined. Furthermore, the five-year survival rate for lung cancer remains 15 percent and a major challenge is that 70 percent of the diagnoses are late stage. Military personnel have heightened exposure to lung cancer carcinogens. These funds shall be for competitive research and the establishment of a tissue bank. Priority shall be given to the development of the integrated components to identify, treat and manage early curable lung cancer. The Army is expected to provide a plan for these funds and to include Walter Reed Army Medical Center in the formulation of this plan. The plan shall be submitted to the congressional defense committees 120 days after enactment of this Act.
Spinal Cord Injury Medical Research and Treatment
Spinal cord injuries are one of the many serious wounds resulting from conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan that require many levels of research and treatment. Significant funding has been provided for research and treatment for neuro-traumatic wounds. However, given the complexity of these types of injuries and the steep learning curve associated with establishing effective treatment regimes, there is much more to be done.
For the coming years, research into regenerating damaged spinal cords and improving rehabilitation therapies offers real promise for enhancing the long-term care of wounded soldiers. The bill provides $35,000,000 to establish a competitive, peer-reviewed spinal cord injury research and treatment program. The Secretary of Defense is directed to submit a report to the congressional defense committees not later than 120 days after enactment of this Act that describes the criteria to be used to determine how these funds are to be allocated.
Peer-Reviewed Medical Research Program
The bill provides $50,000,000 for a Peer-Reviewed Medical Research Program. The Secretary of Defense is directed, 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: Alcoholism, Autoimmune Diseases, Blood Cancer, Childhood Asthma, Drug Abuse, Epilepsy, Kidney Cancer, Listeria Vaccine for infectious disease and cancer, Lupus, Mesothelioma, Molecular Signatures in Tumors, Neuroblastoma, Osteoporosis and related bone disease, Paget's Disease, Pediatric Cancer, Polycystic Kidney Disease, Social Work Research, Tinnitus, and West Nile Virus Vaccine. Additional funding provided under the Peer-Reviewed Medical Research Program shall be devoted only to the purposes listed above.
U.S. Army Medical Research Institute for Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID)
The community remains concerned over the Army's planned expansion of bio-safety level 3 and 4 laboratories at the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute for Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID) at Fort Detrick, Maryland. Though the Army has completed the National Environmental Policy Act process to assess the impact of the expansion on the environment, significant concerns continue to exist in the local community as to whether the assessments of potential health and safety risks and the strategies to mitigate those risks are sufficient. The Secretary of the Defense is directed to enter into an arrangement with the National Academy of Sciences under which the Academy shall carry out a study to evaluate the analyses of health and safety risks to the surrounding community conducted as part of National Environmental Policy Act process for the planned expansion of bio-safety level 3 and level 4 labs of the USAMRIID, to be completed no later than March 1, 2010. The Academy shall submit to the congressional defense committees a report on the study at the same time that such report is submitted to the Secretary of the Defense.
[Page: H9729]
TRI-Service Nursing Research Program
The bill includes $6,400,000 to continue the Tri-Service Nursing Research Program. The Department of Defense is urged 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. This program is an essential tool for the retention of our military nurses. The Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs, in conjunction with the Service Surgeons General and the Nursing Corps Chiefs are directed to provide a report to the congressional defense committees, by April 25, 2009, 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.
Centers of Excellence at WRAMC/WRNMMC
This bill includes $40,000,000 for the following Centers of Excellence at the current Walter Reed Army Medical Center: Breast Care, Gynecologic, Prostate, Pain and Neuroscience, and Integrated Cardiac Health (Wellness). These Centers are in the forefront in the advancement of modern medical care.
It is encouraging that the Department has recognized the importance of these Centers to the welfare of our servicemembers and their families and has included them in the construction plans for the new Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.
Therefore, the Secretary of Defense is directed to include funding for these centers beginning with the fiscal year 2010 budget submission.
Life-Preserving Blood Technologies
There are blood technologies that hold great promise to increase survival rates of our wounded military and improve standard of care. The Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs, in consultation with the Service Surgeons General, is directed to submit a report to the congressional defense committees no later than March 30, 2009, that provides an assessment of the feasibility and advisability of accelerating research, development, and fielding of blood technologies that will improve the capacity to save lives of members of the Armed Forces receiving combat medical care. The technologies to be addressed by the report shall include, but not be limited to, extended life red blood cells, cryogenic storage of white blood cells, cryo-preserved platelets, hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers, and freeze dried plasma.
COHORT/ACIMS
The COHORT/ACIMS project has the potential to benefit future systems integration within the Military Health System and its connectivity with the Veterans Administration. Continuation and integration of this innovative and timely technology should be made a priority by the Chief Information Officers of the Air Force Surgeon Generals Office and Health Affairs. The Department of Defense is urged to provide the necessary resources to continue this valuable development effort.
Medical Care in the National Capital Region
The construction of ``world class'' hospitals at both the new Walter Reed National Military Medical Center and Fort Belvoir is a necessity. Servicemembers and their families deserve nothing less. However, there is concern that this is not going to occur under the current approach of the Department of Defense. For example, the high degree of concurrency within the program and the total lack of adequate planning and design have resulted in an increased cost of the new Walter Reed National Military Medical Center from the estimate of $201,000,000 in May 2005 to $940,000,000 in early calendar year 2008. Even with these increases the Department of Defense has not included funding for eight items at the new Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, not the least of which are the Warrior Clinic, Warrior in Transition housing, enlisted housing, and parking. Furthermore, the Department of Defense and the community have yet to solve how ingress and egress will be affected to support a facility for which the daily population of patients and staff will increase by over 4,000 individuals.
The number of patient visits per year for the three existing hospitals is currently in excess of 1,500,000. The transition to two new facilities will be a daunting challenge under the best of circumstances. The Secretary of Defense is directed to provide a thorough and detailed milestone schedule which outlines projected construction completion, prove out of the facilities, and transition of staff personnel as well as the care for service members and their families to the congressional defense committees within 120 days of enactment of this Act.

SOUTHCOM Funding
Funding for numerous systems and activities is shared between SOUTHCOM's operation and maintenance budget and the Department of Defense counternarcotics budget. The Command Management System is one notable example where the division of responsibility is unclear. The Department is urged to reevaluate the methodology SOUTHCOM uses to determine which portion of these systems and activities should be funded through its normal operating budget and which should be funded through counternarcotics funding streams. This evaluation will ensure that SOUTHCOM is taking financial responsibility for its baseline programs similar to other Combatant Commanders which do not have the large counternarcotics funding streams.
JOINT IMPROVISED EXPLOSIVE DEVICE DEFEAT FUND
The bill does not provide funding for the Joint Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Organization. The request of $496,300,000 was addressed in the previously enacted fiscal year 2009 supplemental appropriations. Additional requirements will be addressed in subsequent supplemental appropriations for fiscal year 2009.
Terrorist Explosive Device Analytical Center
The Joint IED Defeat Organization (JIEDDO) is to be commended on its work with the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Terrorist Explosive Device Analytical Center (TEDAC) to provide a unified partnership between law enforcement, intelligence, and the U.S. military to technically and forensically exploit IEDs. This relationship is yielding actionable intelligence that contributes to offensive anti-terror missions and to the force protection of the United States and coalition assets around the globe. The JIEDDO is encouraged to maintain and cultivate this relationship in the future.

Language Mentorship Program incorporating an electronic portfolio | 800 | |
National Drug Intelligence Center ($22.5 million for NDIC, $2 million for Department of Air Force Personnel) | 19,500 | 44,000 |
Total, ICMA | 685,042 | 710,042 |
The bill provides for a transfer of $44,000,000 to the Department of Justice for the National Drug Intelligence Center to support the Department of Defense's counter-drug intelligence responsibilities, of which $2,000,000 is for reimbursement for Air Force personnel.
Intelligence Community Highly Qualified Employee (HQE) Authority
Within 30 days of the enactment of this Act, the Director of National Intelligence is directed to implement the highly-qualified-employee, ``HQE'' authority throughout the Intelligence Community. The Department of Defense first successfully used this authority to hire a business systems expert to help the Secretary of Defense work toward a clean financial audit opinion on annually appropriated defense funds. The Director of National Intelligence is directed to follow precedence in fiscal year 2009 and use this hiring authority to supplement the Business Transformation Office with at least seven private sector business systems experts. Taking this step will assist the Intelligence Community in implementing tools and techniques which will improve the National Intelligence Program and the Military Intelligence Program business processes and overall financial management.
Intelligence Community Facilities/Real Estate Management
The Director of National Intelligence is directed to develop a coordinated strategy and subsequent Community- wide policy for meeting its future validated infrastructure needs. Further, the Director of National Intelligence is directed to provide the congressional intelligence committees with an Intelligence Community Facilities Management Strategy and a Facilities Condition Index for all Intelligence Community buildings over 20,000 square feet within 180 days of enactment of this Act. Finally, future Intelligence Community infrastructure requests should include a greater influence of ``green'' or sustainable building practices. The American people expect the Community to be a leader when it comes to cutting edge technologies, and embracing ideas such as ``green'' buildings should be prominent in all future infrastructure strategy documents.
Intelligence Community Chief Human Capital Officer
The Intelligence Community Civilian Joint Duty Program has the potential to break down barriers to information sharing and collaboration, transform the culture of the Intelligence Community, and help the Community achieve its strategic goals. All Intelligence Community elements are directed to participate fully in the program and the Community's senior leadership is expected to support the program, encourage their employees to take rotational assignments, and break down any bureaucratic barriers to the smooth implementation of the program as required by law. Further, that the Intelligence Community has studied other pay-for-performance efforts, both within the Community and the rest of government is encouraging. The executive branch started implementing this effort on September 14, 2008, and therefore the Intelligence Community is directed to ensure that full implementation of the system follows the principles of merit, transparency and fairness in a manner which is deliberate and methodical. Finally, semi-annual updates are expected to be provided to the Committees on Appropriations beginning within 30 days of the enactment of this Act.
Controlled Access Programs
The Director of National Intelligence shall provide notification of the establishment of National Intelligence Program-funded Controlled Access Programs to the congressional intelligence committees.
National Drug Intelligence Center
The National Drug Intelligence Center's mission includes providing strategic domestic intelligence, supporting the intelligence community's counterdrug efforts and document exploitation. The National Drug Intelligence Center has already been tasked to produce a drug threat assessment which examines the illicit drug trade in Iraq and the threat it poses to United States interests. The National Drug Intelligence Center's document exploitation capability is already recognized throughout the law enforcement community as an invaluable aid to advancing the investigation and prosecution of drug traffickers, money launderers, or any criminal intent on attacking the national security interests of the United States. The Director of National Intelligence is directed to assess the National Drug Intelligence Center's capabilities and report to the congressional intelligence committees on those capabilities within 180 days of enactment of this Act.

In cases where the House or Senate report directs the submission of a report, a briefing shall be provided by January 30, 2009, in lieu thereof unless this statement directs otherwise. If this statement directs the submission of a report, such report shall be provided to the Committees on Appropriations by April 6, 2009, unless otherwise directed.
Last, this explanatory statement refers to the following laws and organizations as follows: Implementing Recommendations of the 9/11 Commission Act of 2007, Public Law 110-53, is referenced as the 9/11 Act; Security And Accountability For Every Port Act of 2006, Public Law 109-347, is referenced as the SAFE Port Act; the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004, Public Law 108-458, is referenced as the Intelligence Reform Act; the Department of Homeland Security is referenced as DHS; the Government Accountability Office is referenced as GAO; and the Office of Inspector General of the Department of Homeland Security is referenced as OIG.
Classified Programs
Recommended adjustments to classified programs are addressed in a classified annex accompanying this explanatory statement.
TITLE I--DEPARTMENTAL MANAGEMENT AND OPERATIONS
Office of the Secretary and executive Management
The bill provides $123,456,000 for the Office of the Secretary and Executive Management. Reductions are made to the budget request due to a large number of vacancies and unobligated balances within certain offices. Funding shall be allocated as follows:
$3,140,000
1,400,000
2,693,000
3,718,000
7,448,000
43,263,000
5,991,000
4,997,000
20,114,000
17,417,000
6,471,000
6,804,000Total
123,456,000
OFFICE OF COUNTERNARCOTICS ENFORCEMENT
The bill provides $3,718,000 for the Office of Counternarcotics Enforcement. The Office of Counternarcotics Enforcement is directed to submit a report to the Committees as outlined in the Senate report. The Office is expected to discontinue its practice of relying on contractors to meet its congressional reporting requirements.
OFFICE OF POLICY
The bill provides $43,263,000 for the Office of Policy. Within this amount, $500,000 has been provided above the budget request to review visa waiver requests to ensure they meet statutory and security criteria. The Office of Policy is directed to submit an expenditure plan to the Committees within 60 days from the date of enactment of this Act as detailed in the Senate report.
As discussed in the House report, the Office of Policy shall brief the Committees on the status of implementing a plan to coordinate all DHS screening and credentialing activities to create a consistent, security risk-based framework; eliminate redundant activities; more effectively use information provided; and improve the experience for individuals applying for these credentials.
The Office of Policy is directed to provide quarterly briefings to the Committees on the
[Page: H9793]
OFFICE OF PUBLIC AFFAIRS
The bill provides $5,991,000 for the Office of Public Affairs and transfers funding for the Ready campaign to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). FEMA is better positioned to educate the public on how to prepare for and respond to potential emergencies.
OFFICE OF GENERAL COUNSEL
The bill provides $20,114,000 for the Office of General Counsel. Consistent with fiscal year 2008 language, the Office of General Counsel is urged to consider whether it would be more productive to transfer to specific DHS components the legal staff responsible for the ongoing work of those components, while maintaining the affiliation of these staff with the Office of General Counsel. This mechanism may expedite necessary legal reviews because legal staff will specialize in certain areas.
ENERGY SHORTFALLS
While the bill fully funds the Department's budget requests for energy costs, fuel prices have skyrocketed since those requests were submitted. For example, the Coast Guard and U.S. Customs and Border Protection currently estimate additional fiscal year 2009 fuel costs of approximately $90,000,000 and $40,000,000 above the budget requests, respectively. Department-wide, the current estimate for an increase in energy costs is estimated at almost $140,000,000. However, despite full acknowledgment of these shortfalls, the President has failed to submit any formal amendment to the fiscal year 2009 budget request. Consequently, DHS will be forced to find savings within its base appropriations to cover these costs, with potentially severe consequences for other ongoing activities. The failure to address such known shortfalls in operational needs in the context of an official budget request is an abdication of the President's budgetary responsibilities. The Secretary is directed to submit a plan by December 1, 2008, that includes estimates of the energy costs for all DHS component agencies in fiscal year 2009 and identifies how these shortfalls will be addressed.
DHS-GAO RELATIONS
The Department's July 2008 guidance on interactions with the GAO does not ``significantly streamline'' the review process for document and interview requests as required by Public Law 110-161. The DHS guidance limits GAO's direct access to program officials and requested documentation and instead provides for centralized control and review by DHS liaisons and attorneys. The Department shall submit to the Committees and GAO, on a quarterly basis, a report itemizing all instances where DHS did not provide information to GAO within 20 days or did not arrange for interviews within seven days, including the reasons for not meeting these timeframes. With respect to such quarterly reports, GAO shall provide the Committees its assessment of the validity of the DHS data and analysis. The Department shall provide these reports within 15 days of the end of each quarter, and GAO shall review the reports within 30 days of receiving them. The bill withholds $15,000,000 from obligation until the Secretary submits the second quarterly report.
DISTRIBUTION OF GRANT AWARDS
The bill withholds $10,000,000 from obligation until the Secretary of Homeland Security, in coordination with the Administrator of FEMA, certifies and reports to the Committees that certain conditions regarding the process to incorporate stakeholder input for grant guidance development and award distribution have been met. DHS and FEMA are expected to ensure that these grants are made in a timely fashion so that known risks can be addressed expeditiously.
GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS
By September 30, 2009, the Secretary shall provide to Congress a detailed inventory of DHS's greenhouse gas emissions and a plan to reduce these emissions.
BUDGET JUSTIFICATIONS
The congressional budget justifications for the Office of the Secretary and Executive Management for fiscal year 2010 shall include the same level of detail as the table contained at the end of this statement. All funding and staffing changes for each office must be highlighted and explained and this detail shall include separate discussions for personnel, compensation and benefits; travel; training; and other services. The number of permanent positions and full-time equivalents (FTE) identified in the congressional budget justification should tie to available and requested resources. Finally, all proposals to move programs and funding from one office to another should be clearly outlined in the congressional budget justification.
WORKING CAPITAL FUND
DHS shall provide a separate fiscal year 2010 budget justification for the Department's working capital fund (WCF) that includes each activity, basis for pricing, FTEs, and an explanation of how DHS is allocating funds in fiscal years 2009 and 2010 to each component. Bill language providing new authority and requirements for the WCF is detailed in Title V of this explanatory statement. All cross-cutting initiatives shall be included within the WCF, unless the omission can be fully justified and explained.
The fiscal year 2008 WCF charges were altered nine months into the fiscal year, causing component agencies to delay expenditures or reprogram funds to cover these unanticipated charges. DHS must notify the Committees more promptly of any additions, deletions, or changes that are made to the WCF during the fiscal year that are subject to section 503 of this Act. DHS should not fund any activities within the WCF that have been disapproved previously.
DHS is in the process of studying the authority, structure, governance, organization, business practices, and management of the WCF. DHS shall provide the Committees with a copy of this study when it is complete and shall address any recommendations regarding cost allocation and billing consistency as part of the fiscal year 2010 budget request.
QUARTERLY DETAILEE REPORTS
DHS shall continue to provide quarterly detailee reports, as required in the Senate report.
Office of the Under Secretary for Management
The bill provides $191,793,000 for the Office of the Under Secretary for Management. Funding shall be allocated as follows:
$2,654,000
60,882,000
39,003,000
28,827,000
10,000,000
44,427,000
6,000,000 Total
191,793,000
OFFICE OF THE CHIEF PROCUREMENT OFFICER
The bill provides $39,003,000 for the Office of the Chief Procurement Officer (OCPO). In the past, funding has been repeatedly increased to hire additional procurement specialists, yet the Office has been slow in filling these positions. As a result, the Committees are dissatisfied with the amount of time it takes the Office of Procurement Operations to review and approve contracts for component agencies and act on procurement recommendations. For fiscal year 2009, DHS shall conduct a two year pilot with the Science and Technology (S&T) Directorate to determine whether assigning more procurement responsibility to S&T will result in more efficient procurements. Under the pilot, S&T will hire its own contracting officers responsible for making procurement recommendations and meeting performance metrics, while the DHS Office of the Chief Procurement Officer will conduct appropriate reviews to ensure that procurement actions are aligned with DHS policies and procedures. The OCPO, in conjunction with S&T, shall brief the Committees on the implementation plan for this pilot within 30 days after the date of enactment of this Act; on the progress of the pilot within six months of enactment; and on the results of the pilot after its completion.
As discussed in the House report, OCPO should identify more opportunities for minority and small business enterprises.
DHS appears to be overly reliant on contractors, as discussed in the Senate report. DHS should consider replacing contractors with full-time government employees and brief the Committees on the directives included in the Senate report no later than March 30, 2009.
Due to the Coast Guard's failure to adequately oversee the Deepwater program, the Secretary shall rescind the delegation of acquisition authority provided to the Coast Guard for Deepwater in order to keep oversight within the OCPO, as recommended by GAO.
INVESTMENT REVIEW PROCESS
The Department's Investment Review Board (IRB), established to ensure centralized, robust oversight across large-scale investments, is not performing satisfactorily. It is unclear which investments the IRB will review, how it intends to oversee decisions on large procurements, how its decisions will be monitored, and how necessary follow-up action will be taken. The IRB may only be able to focus on a limited number of critical procurements while DHS attempts to get the investment review process on-track. With this in mind, the Deputy Secretary shall ensure that the IRB reviews and oversees the top 15 DHS investments, measured either by total cost, criticality of the item or service being procured, and/or other means determined by DHS. Within 45 days after the date of enactment of this Act, the Deputy Secretary shall identify and submit to the Committees a list of the investments to be reviewed and a description of the formal investment review processes the IRB will follow.
OFFICE OF THE CHIEF HUMAN CAPITAL OFFICER
The bill provides $38,827,000 for the Office of the Chief Human Capital Officer. Within the total appropriated is $10,000,000 for human resources and $2,500,000 for new learning initiatives. Funding has been reduced due to high unobligated balances in this office. Due to numerous delays in the hiring process administered by this Office, the Chief Human Capital Officer shall provide monthly reports on the amount of time it takes to fill vacancies within DHS, as outlined in the House report.
[Page: H9794]
OFFICE OF THE CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER
The bill provides $50,427,000 for the Office of the Chief Administrative Officer (CAO). Of this total, $44,427,000 is for the salaries and expenses of the CAO and $6,000,000 is for facilities costs at the Nebraska Avenue Complex (NAC). This funding level supports 11 additional FTEs to manage the consolidation of DHS components on the St. Elizabeths west campus. Funding for the first phase of the proposed consolidation of DHS headquarters at the St. Elizabeths campus is included within the Coast Guard's ``Acquisition, Construction, and Improvements'' appropriation.
Since a significant portion of departmental offices are scheduled to move to St. Elizabeths by 2016, with the first moves beginning in 2013, the CAO shall minimize investments and improvements made at the NAC that would need to be replicated at the new headquarters. The CAO is directed to provide semiannual briefings on anticipated spending at the NAC, the first of which shall occur 60 days after the date of enactment of this Act.
Office of the Chief Financial Officer
The bill provides $55,235,000 for the Office of the Chief Financial Officer (CFO). The bill fully funds the CFO's staffing request. Of this total, $18,189,000 has been provided to the Transformation and Systems Consolidation project, a slight reduction from the requested amount due to delays in this project. The CFO shall brief the Committees on its progress to establish a more reliable acquisition timeline for this consolidation effort. Furthermore, the CFO shall comply with recommendations made by the DHS Inspector General in OIG 08-47, which are intended to improve DHS's strategy to consolidate its financial systems.
ANNUAL APPROPRIATIONS JUSTIFICATIONS
The CFO is directed to submit all of its fiscal year 2010 budget justifications (classified and unclassified) with detailed information by appropriation account and program, project, and activity (PPA) for all components of DHS. The CFO must ensure that the annual appropriations justifications include: (1) explicit information on all reimbursable agreements and uses of the Economy Act; (2) adequate justification for each increase, decrease, and staffing change; (3) a listing of overdue Committee reports; and (4) a detailed table identifying the last year authorizing legislation was provided by Congress for each appropriation account, the amount of the authorization, and the appropriation in the last year of the authorization. Finally, the CFO shall not permit any DHS component to alter the PPAs in the fiscal year 2010 budget submission into any account structure other than that contained in the funding recommendation table.
Office of the Chief Information Officer
The bill includes $272,169,000 for the Office of the Chief Information Officer (CIO). Funding shall be allocated as follows:
$86,928,000
44,945,000
92,623,000
47,673,000 Total, Chief Information Officer
272,169,000
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY ACTIVITIES
The bill provides $44,945,000 for Information Technology Activities, $2,500,000 more than requested. Additional funds shall be used for the CIO's highest priority Enterprise Architecture (EA) projects, including information technology reviews, and to strengthen oversight and Departmental compliance with EA policy. The CIO is directed to ensure that all staff conducting EA oversight are Federal employees.
SECURITY ACTIVITIES
The bill provides $92,623,000 for Security Activities, $22,300,000 more than the amount requested. This increased funding is provided to support costs of transition to the National Center for Critical Information Processing and Storage.
CIO-LED INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY ACQUISITIONS
The Committee continues an existing requirement that the CIO report on all information technology acquisitions financed directly or managed by the CIO.
FEDERAL INFORMATION SECURITY AND MANAGEMENT ACT
DHS has made progress improving its performance on the Federal Information Security and Management Act scorecard, but must do more to improve its information security. The CIO is directed to brief the Committees no later than April 6, 2009, on the details of its information security priorities and initiatives, as discussed in the Senate report.
ANALYSIS AND OPERATIONS
The bill includes $327,373,000 for Analysis and Operations. As requested by the Department, the Committee has transferred funding between appropriations for Analysis and Operations and the Office of the Secretary and Executive Management, to reflect the reassignment of the Secretary's briefing staff and counter-terrorism planning staff.
DHS INTELLIGENCE EXPENDITURE PLAN
As detailed in the Senate report, no later than 60 days after the date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall submit a fiscal year 2009 expenditure plan for the Office of Intelligence and Analysis, including balances carried forward from prior years.
STATE AND LOCAL FUSION CENTERS
The Department's Chief Intelligence Officer is directed to continue quarterly updates to the Committees that detail progress in placing DHS intelligence professionals in State and local fusion centers, as discussed in the Senate report.
CLASSIFIED PROGRAMS
Recommended adjustments to classified programs are addressed in a classified annex accompanying this statement.
Office of the Federal Coordinator for Gulf Coast Rebuilding
The bill provides $1,900,000 for the Office of the Federal Coordinator for Gulf Coast Rebuilding (OFCGCR). OFCGCR is expected to remain open until at least the end of fiscal year 2009. Of the amount provided, $50,000 is for OFCGCR to organize a panel of housing experts, disaster response experts, and urban planning experts to develop a framework for developing and sustaining affordable rental housing in affected Gulf Coast Communities. These experts shall be chosen as detailed in the House report. OFCGCR is to report to the Committees on the recommendations of this panel, and to submit a strategy and timeline for implementing the most promising recommendations, by December 30, 2008.
Office of Inspector General
The bill provides $98,513,000 for the Office of Inspector General (OIG). In addition to this direct appropriation, $16,000,000 may be transferred from the Disaster Relief Fund (DRF) to the OIG to continue and expand audits and investigations related to disasters. The OIG is required to notify the Committees no less than 15 days prior to all transfers from the DRF.
AUDIT REPORTS
The OIG is directed to forward copies of all audit reports to the Committees when they are issued and to immediately make the Committees aware of any review that recommends cancellation of, or modification to, any major acquisition project or grant, or that recommends significant budgetary savings. The OIG is directed to withhold any final audit or investigation report requested by the Committees from public distribution for a period of 15 days.
OIG WEBSITE
The Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security is directed to update and maintain the DHS OIG website link as established on the DHS website.
TITLE II--SECURITY, ENFORCEMENT, AND INVESTIGATIONS
U.S. Customs and Border Protection
SALARIES AND EXPENSES
The bill includes $7,603,206,000 for U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Salaries and Expenses. Of this amount, $1,269,158,000 is for Headquarters, Management, and Administration, including an additional $500,000 for three new positions for conduct and integrity oversight, and an additional $2,007,000 associated with 58 new positions for trade programs, as specified in the Senate report. Within the total appropriation, $2,561,099,000 is for Border Security Inspections and Trade Facilitation, including: an additional $200,000,000 to fund CBP Officer law enforcement retirement costs, as identified by CBP; $62,800,000, as requested, to support US-VISIT operations and equipment managed by CBP; an additional $10,000,000 to enhance and expand the Global Entry system; an additional $8,750,000 for 173 new CBP Officer positions at air ports of entry for the final two months of the fiscal year; an additional $28,282,000 for 561 new CBP Officer positions for land ports of entry for the final two months of the fiscal year; an additional $5,100,000 for 100 new Agricultural Specialist positions for the final two months of the fiscal year; an additional $2,553,000 for 58 new positions for trade programs, as specified in the Senate report; an additional $4,500,000 for a Joint Information and Intelligence Fusion Center in Bellingham, Washington, of which not more than $2,000,000 shall be available until September 30, 2010, and of which up to $500,000 may be used for security training and exercises in preparation for the 2010 Winter Olympics. The bill does not require use of prior year unobligated balances of Salaries and Expenses appropriations to fund fiscal year 2009 Inspections, Trade, and Travel Facilitation at Ports of Entry, notwithstanding direction in the House report.
Within this appropriation, $145,944,000 is for inspection and detection technology investments, reflecting an additional $30,000,000 for the acquisition of new or replacement large-scale non-intrusive inspection technology and a reduction of $3,200,000 due to delayed radiation monitor deployments. A total of $3,501,270,000 is included in this appropriation for Border Security and Control Between Ports of Entry, including an additional $1,950,000 for the transfer of up to 75 Border Patrol agents to the Northern border, and a reduction of $16,000,000 from the request due to expected delays in hiring mission support staff. Finally, $271,679,000 in this appropriation is for Air and Marine Personnel Compensation and Benefits, including an additional $17,400,000 for 115 positions to staff fully 11 new Marine Enforcement Units.

STAFFING AND RESOURCE REPORTS AND BRIEFINGS
CBP is directed to: (1) report and brief on Border Patrol hiring and deployment statistics, and (2) share staffing and resource information with port authorities and other stakeholders at airports and land ports of entry, as specified in the House report. In addition, CBP is directed to brief the Committees not later than January 30, 2009, on how incentives such as pay adjustments could be used to recruit and retain Border Patrol agents and CBP Officers with language fluency skills, as outlined in the House report.
GLOBAL ENTRY
CBP is directed to report to the Committees on its findings from Global Entry airport pilots, as outlined in the House report.
SUPPORT OF US-VISIT
CBP is directed to provide a detailed report, as part of its fiscal year 2010 budget request, on its support of US-VISIT technology and operations, as specified in the House report.
AUTOMATED TARGETING SYSTEM--PASSENGER (ATS-P)
CBP is directed to obligate no funds to enhance ATS-P until the Commissioner certifies such enhancement complies with all applicable laws, as specified in the House report.
TEXTILE TRANSSHIPMENT ENFORCEMENT
The bill includes $4,750,000 for textile transshipment enforcement. CBP is directed to ensure that activities of its Textile and Apparel Policies and Programs Office are maintained at prior year levels, and to report in the fiscal year 2010 budget on execution of its five year plan, as specified in the House report.
BORDER PATROL SELF-INSPECTION PROGRAM
CBP is directed to include in its fiscal year 2010 budget submission a report on results for the annual Border Patrol Self-Inspection Program, including data on processing and treatment of unaccompanied alien minors encountered by the Border Patrol, as specified in the House report.
INVASIVE PLANT SPECIES
CBP is directed to include in its fiscal year 2010 budget submission a plan to eradicate Arundo donax and other invasive plants in Texas border areas, as specified in the House report.
INFECTIOUS DISEASE INTERDICTION AND CONTROL
CBP is encouraged to explore with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ways to improve CBP Officer training related to infectious disease interdiction and control at ports of entry, as outlined in the House report.
PROJECT SEAHAWK
Project SeaHawk is funded at $2,000,000. CBP is directed to report on the impact of Project SeaHawk to date, and how it will be funded and supported beyond fiscal year 2009, as specified in the House report.
OPERATIONAL SUPPORT AND MISSION SUPPORT HIRING
CBP has informed the Committees that it is significantly behind schedule for hiring operational support and mission support personnel for Border Patrol operations, with 886 positions currently vacant. It therefore appears unlikely that CBP will be able to hire the 441 additional operational support and mission support positions requested for fiscal year 2009 or address the current hiring lag. The bill reduces funding for this purpose by $16,000,000. CBP is directed to intensify its efforts, as specified in the Senate report, to hire previously funded positions and enable Border Patrol agents to concentrate on their enforcement missions, thus addressing a need made more urgent by the termination of National Guard support under Operation Jump Start. CBP is directed to report on this mission support hiring effort as part of its quarterly hiring briefings to the Committees.
CBP VEHICLE FLEET
DHS is directed to include with its fiscal year 2010 budget submission a plan to replace at least 20 percent of the CBP vehicle fleet annually, as well as the funding needed to execute the plan, as specified in the Senate report.
ANTIDUMPING AND COUNTERVAILING DUTY ENFORCEMENT
The bill includes, within the amounts provided for in this account, sufficient funds to administer the on-going requirements of section 754 of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1675c), referenced in subtitle F of title VII of the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 (Public Law 109-171; 120 Stat. 154).
CBP is directed to continue to work with the Departments of Commerce and Treasury, and the Office of the United States Trade Representative (and all other relevant agencies) to increase collections, and provide a public report on an annual basis, within 30 days of each year's distributions under the law. The report should summarize CBP's efforts to collect past due amounts and increase current collections, particularly with respect to cases involving unfairly traded U.S. imports from China. The report shall provide the amount of uncollected duties for each antidumping and countervailing duty order, and indicate the amount of open, unpaid bills for each such order. In that report, the Secretary of Homeland Security, in consultation with other relevant agencies, including the Secretaries of Treasury and Commerce, should also advise as to whether CBP can adjust its bonding requirements to further protect revenue without violating U.S. law or international obligations, and without imposing unreasonable costs upon importers.
The Secretary of Homeland Security is directed to work with the Secretary of Commerce to identify opportunities for the Commerce Department to improve the timeliness, accuracy, and clarity of liquidation instructions sent to CBP. Increased attention and interagency coordination in these areas could help ensure that steps in the collection of duties are completed in a more expeditious manner.
CUSTOMS REVENUE STAFFING SHORTFALLS
CBP is directed to comply with the direction specified in the Senate report regarding customs revenue staffing shortfalls.
INSPECTION AND DETECTION TECHNOLOGY
CBP has informed the Committees that it does not intend to acquire or refurbish additional large-scale non-intrusive inspection (NII) technology in fiscal year 2008, despite the need to replace at least 36 systems in the CBP inventory that are no longer in operation or fail to meet minimum performance standards set by CBP. In order to ensure that CBP attains the most cost effective technology for inspection and detection missions, the bill includes an additional $30,000,000 to acquire new or replacement large-scale NII technology. CBP is directed to use competitive acquisition practices to replace, refurbish, or acquire large-scale NII systems, and to make all such decisions, regardless of whether they result in new or refurbished systems, based on comparisons of cost and performance for all options.
CONTAINER SECURITY DEVICES
The bill includes language directing the Commissioner to submit to the Committees, not later than 120 days after the date of enactment of this Act, the results of operational field testing of container security devices and a plan for implementation and deployment of such devices, as applicable, in high risk trade lanes.
AUTOMATION MODERNIZATION
The bill includes $511,334,000 for Automation Modernization, as requested. Of this funding, not less than $316,851,000 is provided for the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE), of which $16,000,000 is included for the International Trade Data System. Of the total provided for ACE, $216,851,000 is unavailable for obligation until 30 days after an expenditure plan is submitted to the Committees, as specified in the House report. CBP is directed to continue submitting quarterly reports to the Committees on progress in implementing ACE.
TECS MODERNIZATION EXPENDITURE PLAN
CBP is directed to comply with direction specified in the House and Senate reports regarding briefings and reports on TECS modernization.
[Page: H9796]
BORDER SECURITY FENCING, INFRASTRUCTURE, AND TECHNOLOGY
The bill includes $775,000,000 for the integrated Border Security Fencing, Infrastructure, and Technology (BSFIT) account, as requested. Funds are available until expended. The funding includes $120,000,000 for Program Management, including $50,000,000 for environmental and regulatory requirements, and $70,000,000 for personnel operations and support; $505,000,000 for Development and Deployment, of which $30,000,000 is for the Border Interoperability Demonstration Project, and $40,000,000 is for Northern border security technology investment; and $150,000,000 for Operations and Support. The latter funding level reflects the Administration's downward revision from the original $410,000,000 request for Operations and Support.
The bill makes $400,000,000 unavailable for obligation until the Committees have received and approved an expenditure plan that complies with conditions set forth in the bill, and which has been reviewed by the GAO. The bill also makes no funding available until the Secretary certifies that CBP has complied with legal requirements for consultation with communities, federal agencies and other stakeholders affected by planned deployment of fencing and tactical infrastructure, and also makes no funding available for projects for which the Secretary has exercised statutory authority to waive various environmental and other regulations and laws until 15 days after public notice of such waiver. Finally, the bill makes $100,000,000 available immediately to CBP for any BSFIT purposes, notwithstanding any other provision in the bill.
REPORTING REQUIREMENTS TO THE COMMITTEES
CBP is directed to include, as part of the quarterly Secure Border Initiative (SBI) reports, a report on technology investment on the Northern border, as specified in the House report. CBP is directed to provide a monthly report on BSFIT obligations and expenditures, as specified in the House report. CBP is directed to include, within the fiscal year 2009 expenditure plan and as specified in the House report, an environmental plan and a report on mitigation efforts.
ESTABLISHMENT AND MAINTENANCE OF BORDER BARRIERS
CBP is directed to explain the rationale for its BSFIT operations and maintenance budget, which it significantly reduced from its original budget level. The explanation should be included in the expenditure plan, and should also address the significant shift in technology investment into fiscal years 2009 and 2010, and implications for ongoing operations and maintenance costs.
VEHICLES
CBP is directed to fund any requirements for vehicles for the SBI Program Management Office or other activities funded in this account through the CBP Salaries and Expenses appropriation.
ANALYSIS OF ALTERNATIVES FOR BORDER INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENT
CBP is directed to comply with specifications in the House report for the conduct of analyses of alternatives for effective control of the border, as well as to ensure that CBP identifies and evaluates alternatives proposed by stakeholders as potential substitutes for tactical infrastructure.
GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABILITY OFFICE REVIEW
GAO is directed to review the CBP process for consultation on border infrastructure projects and how CBP carries out such consultation, as specified in the House report.
TACTICAL COMMUNICATIONS
The Commissioner is directed to provide a plan, within 90 days of the date of enactment of this Act, detailing the staffing, equipment, and funding necessary to complete the build out of the Border Patrol Tactical Communications program by the end of fiscal year 2013.
EXPENDITURE PLAN CERTIFICATIONS
The fiscal year 2008 BSFIT expenditure plan submitted by the Department did not comply with requirements of the law; specifically, it failed to include required information in support of several certifications or provided only conditional certifications. The Department is directed to ensure that certifications submitted in support of future expenditure plans include all supporting documentation, address current and prospective elements of the program, and not be conditional in nature.

This includes $380,022,000 for Operations and Maintenance, and $147,978,000 for Procurement. Within the above amounts are $26,600,000 for Northern border air branches and $5,000,000 for the Wireless Airport Surveillance Platform to address private aircraft enforcement system noncompliance. The bill makes $18,000,000 available only when a concept of operations for the deployment of unmanned aerial systems (UAS) has been established, as required in section 544 of this Act.
UAS DEPLOYMENT PLAN
CBP is directed to provide the comprehensive report on plans for UAS deployment as specified in the House report.
CONSTRUCTION
The bill includes $403,201,000 for Construction, including $39,700,000 for the Advanced Training Center. The bill requires that, beginning with the fiscal year 2010 budget submission and thereafter, CBP shall, in consultation with the General Services Administration, include a five-year plan for all Federal land border port of entry projects. CBP is directed to execute its construction plans as reflected in the table included in the Senate report, or to notify the Committees of any changes, as appropriate, pursuant to the reprogramming and transfer provisions in this Act.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement
SALARIES AND EXPENSES
The bill includes $4,927,210,000 for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Salaries and Expenses. Within the total budget for Salaries and Expenses, $1,000,000,000 is for efforts to identify individuals illegally present in the United States who have criminal records, whether incarcerated or at-large, and to remove those aliens once they have been judged deportable in immigration court.
The bill also provides $1,519,208,000 for ICE's domestic investigatory responsibilities, funding nearly all of the program increases requested by the President while also expanding several critical initiatives, as discussed below. Given these significant new resources provided for investigations, ICE is expected to strengthen its ability to demonstrate how these resources are being used effectively.
The bill includes language regarding OIG reviews of 287(g) agreements, use of detention services after a facility has received performance evaluations of less than adequate, and ICE authorities provided under 8 U.S.C. 1101(a)(17).

PRIORITIZING THE REMOVAL OF DEPORTABLE CRIMINAL ALIENS
In the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2008, the Congress provided ICE $200,000,000 to identify aliens convicted of crimes and sentenced to imprisonment, and to remove from the country those individuals judged deportable. Within its plan to carry out this mandate, ICE estimated it would cost between $900,000,000 and $1,100,000,000 annually to find and deport the most dangerous and violent criminals judged deportable.
The bill recognizes the complex mix of programs and priorities that ICE faces by providing a significant funding increase for the agency's overall operations. The bill requires that within the resources provided to ICE $1,000,000,000 shall be to address the compelling need to remove from the United States deportable criminal aliens, whether in custody or at-large. Of this amount, $150,000,000
[Page: H9797]
The bill requires ICE to report to the Committees on exactly how it will allocate the funds provided for this purpose, and to provide quarterly updates on its expenditures and progress toward identifying and removing all deportable criminal aliens. Within 30 days after the date of enactment of this Act, ICE shall submit a report detailing how the agency will utilize the additional $150,000,000 provided in the bill, as well as an explicit plan for how ICE will allocate $850,000,000 of existing program resources to the identification and removal of deportable criminal aliens. As discussed in the House report, ICE should clearly identify activities across the entire range of its programs and explain how they are focused on efforts to identify and remove deportable criminal aliens.
ICE INVESTIGATIONS
The bill provides $1,519,208,000 for ICE domestic investigations and $133,541,000 for ICE international investigations. Within these amounts, $22,100,000 is provided as requested to expand a variety of investigatory programs. Additional resources are allocated to the following programs: $6,000,000 for transnational gang enforcement; $8,400,000 for the visa security program, as discussed in the Senate report; and $3,000,000 for cyber crime investigations.
The budget structure for ICE domestic investigations is reflected at the same aggregate level as in prior appropriations. In the past, ICE has been unable to detail how it allocates resources within the Office of Investigations (OI), sets investigatory priorities, or measures the performance of units within OI. ICE is directed to submit, within 30 days after the date of enactment of this Act, a detailed expenditure plan for the investigations budget that reflects the agency's priorities and resource allocations, and to provide quarterly reports on the execution of this plan within 30 days of the close of each quarter of the fiscal year. In addition, ICE is directed to provide the same level of detail in the congressional justification documents for the fiscal year 2010 investigations budget.
The budget for ICE international investigations is split into two separate programs in fiscal year 2009: the visa security program (VSP) and other international investigations. Because of the importance of VSP, and the significant expansion funded in fiscal year 2009, ICE and the Committees need this additional detail to monitor how the agency aligns its resources to mission requirements and operations.

The bill provides $353,700,000, as requested, for the National Security Cutter (NSC). It is questionable whether this amount will be sufficient to purchase the fourth NSC, according to recent information provided by the Coast Guard. This is a concern since, in August 2007, the Coast Guard entered into a Consolidated Contract Action to resolve all outstanding cost overruns incurred by the NSC contractor due to economic and customer changes that have occurred over the past four years. No later than 30 days after the date of enactment of this Act, the Coast Guard is directed to provide the Committees with detailed information on all reasons why there may be nearly a 50 percent increase in the cost of this cutter and how it plans to manage this procurement within the dollars provided. To improve its management of this important program, the Coast Guard is directed to follow House report direction on the visibility of the contractor's earned value management system and Senate report direction regarding information assurance and critical decision points and dates.
REPLACEMENT PATROL BOAT/FRC-B
The bill provides $115,300,000, as requested, for limited production of the FRC-B.

The Coast Guard is encouraged to begin construction of the Elgin, Joliet, and Eastern Railway Company Bridge as expeditiously as possible, as directed in the Senate report.
RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT, TEST, AND EVALUATION
The bill provides $18,000,000 for Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation. This includes $2,000,000 for the Coast Guard to work with entities conducting ballast water treatment system testing, such as the Great Ships Initiative, to test the efficacy of such systems and methods in both salt and fresh water, as detailed in the House report.
MEDICARE-ELIGIBLE RETIREE HEALTH CARE FUND CONTRIBUTION
GAO is directed to evaluate by June 2009 the process used to determine the amount charged to the Coast Guard for Medicare-eligible retiree health care and the relationship of this amount to the benefits received by Coast Guard retirees.
RETIRED PAY
The bill provides $1,236,745,000 for Retired Pay.
United States Secret Service
SALARIES AND EXPENSES
The bill provides $1,408,729,000 for Salaries and Expenses, with funding to be allocated as follows:

The bill provides $331,974,000 for Investigations, $5,658,000 more than requested. Of the increase, an additional $4,000,000 is for Secret Service cyber crime investigations, and an additional $1,658,000 is for International Field Operations.
POST PRESIDENTIAL DETAIL
The bill includes $4,500,000, as requested, for the President's post-Presidency protective detail. The bill does not include a requested general provision regarding six months of protection for the Vice President after leaving office. The Congress passed separate legislation authorizing this protection.
DISCONTINUED PROTECTIVE DETAILS
The bill reduces the Secret Service protective budget by $2,750,000 to account for protective activities the Secret Service no longer performs.
WHITE HOUSE FACILITIES
The bill includes $33,701,000 for White House mail screening, $3,000,000 less than requested. The facility to screen White House mail is under construction and will not be complete until well into the fiscal year. The reduction reflects that the Secret Service will not have to pay an entire year of rent for the new building.
The cost to replace locks at the White House should be paid by the General Services Administration, which maintains offices within the White House, or the National Park Service, which maintains the public and residential areas of the complex. However, if the Secret Service believes there is an urgent need to replace White House locks prior to February 1, 2009, it is directed to use funds it had budgeted for security of the White House complex for this purpose.
ACQUISITION, CONSTRUCTION, IMPROVEMENTS, AND RELATED EXPENSES
The bill provides $4,225,000 for Acquisition, Construction, Improvements and Related Expenses. Within this total, $250,000 is provided to fund inflationary cost increases and $250,000 is to fund a perimeter security and noise abatement study for the Rowley training facility.
TITLE III--PROTECTION, PREPAREDNESS, RESPONSE, AND RECOVERY
National Protection and Programs Directorate
MANAGEMENT AND ADMINISTRATION
The bill includes $51,350,000 for Management and Administration of the National Protection and Programs Directorate (NPPD). Given high vacancy levels that have persisted at NPPD throughout fiscal year 2008, the request for additional staff is reduced by $1,500,000. No funding is provided to move the functions of the Office of Intergovernmental Programs from FEMA to NPPD, therefore, this function shall remain within FEMA.
INFRASTRUCTURE PROTECTION AND INFORMATION SECURITY
The bill includes $806,913,000 for Infrastructure Protection and Information Security (IPIS). Funding levels by budget activity are as follows:
Infrastructure Protection:
$80,603,000
62,367,000
170,830,000
313,500,000

11,260,000
38,300,000 Total, Infrastructure Protection and Information Security
806,913,000
EXPENDITURE PLANS
Due to the inadequate level of detail provided in the budget justifications and other supporting materials, the bill restricts from obligation half of the funds appropriated for the National Cyber Security Initiative ($127,462,000) and the Next Generation Networks program ($25,125,000) until NPPD submits, and the Committees approve, expenditure plans for each of these programs. NPPD is directed to include in these plans the information discussed in the House report.
CHEMICAL FACILITY ANTI-TERRORISM STANDARDS AND AMMONIUM NITRATE REGULATION
The bill provides $73,000,000 for implementation of the Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards and $5,000,000 to implement ammonium nitrate regulations.
NATIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE PROTECTION PLAN MANAGEMENT (NIPP)
The bill provides $30,993,000 for NIPP management and related Critical Infrastructure and Key Resource partnerships.
VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENTS
The bill provides an increase of $6,000,000 above the request to accelerate the pace of critical infrastructure and key resource vulnerability assessments.
ETHANOL TRANSLOADING FACILITIES
NPPD is directed to report to the Committees on the results of a recent vulnerability assessment of an ethanol transloading facility in Virginia, as discussed in the House report.

OFFICE OF BOMBING PREVENTION
The bill provides $11,000,000 for the Office of Bombing Prevention, of which $1,000,000 shall be for the purchase of the IED-Geospatial Analysis Tool Plus, as discussed in the House report.
PHILADELPHIA VIDEO SURVEILLANCE
As discussed in the House report, the bill provides $2,000,000 for NPPD to continue deployment of infrastructure monitoring and crime cameras in the city of Philadelphia.
UNDERGROUND CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE
The bill provides $3,000,000 for the Department to pilot methods for securing underground critical infrastructure, as discussed in the House report.
NATIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE SIMULATION AND ANALYSIS CENTER
As discussed in the Senate report, the bill provides $20,000,000 for the National Infrastructure Simulation and Analysis Center, which is led by Sandia and Los Alamos National Laboratories in New Mexico.
CYBER SECURITY
The bill provides $313,500,000 for activities of the NPPD National Cyber Security Division (NCSD), including $254,924,000 for the Department of Homeland Security's share of the Administration's National Cyber Security Initiative (NCSI). This funding includes the requested levels for the US Computer Emergency Response Team and the Cyber Security Information Sharing and Collaboration program. Additional details are contained in the classified annex accompanying this explanatory statement. NPPD is required to submit an expenditure plan providing more details on the purpose and goals of the NCSI and how proposed expenditures will meet them. NPPD is also directed to conduct a privacy impact assessment for its cyber security initiative and brief the Committees, as discussed in the Senate report.
PRIORITY TELECOMMUNICATIONS SERVICES/NEXT GENERATION NETWORKS
The bill provides $58,740,000 for the Priority Telecommunications Services program and $50,250,000 for the Next Generation Networks (NGN) program. NPPD is required in law to submit an expenditure plan detailing the purpose and goals of the NGN program.
NATIONAL COMMAND AND COORDINATION CAPABILITY
The bill provides $5,963,000 for the National Command and Coordination Capability (NCCC). NPPD is expected to conduct a comprehensive assessment of the extensive emergency communications investments made by the Federal government since the creation of DHS, and to identify clearly how NCCC will enhance the multiple existing communications systems that connect Federal officials with their State and local counterparts.
CYBER SECURITY TRAINING
The bill provides $3,500,000 for the continued development and implementation of the Community Cyber Security Maturity Model at the University of Texas at San Antonio, a training program designed to prepare State and local officials for responding to cyber attacks.
CONTROL SYSTEMS SECURITY
The bill provides $22,000,000 for the National Cyber Security Division's efforts to improve security of control systems, of which $4,000,000 is to establish a power and cyber system protection, analysis, and testing program at the Idaho National Laboratory, as discussed in the House report.
CLASSIFIED PRESIDENTIAL DIRECTIVES
As discussed in the Senate report, NPPD is strongly encouraged to re-examine policies on classification of Presidential Directives that purport to set government policy or provide critical information affecting State, local, and private sector officials. Given that many individuals not employed by the Federal government are not authorized to access classified documents, it seems problematic that important homeland security directives may not be available to the very people responsible for helping to implement them.
United States Visitor and Immigrant Status Indicator Technology
The bill includes $300,000,000 for United States Visitor Immigrant Status Indicator Technology (US-VISIT). Of this amount, $75,000,000 may not be obligated until the Committees receive an expenditure plan as specified in the House report, with the exception that neither GAO review nor Committee approval is required.
The bill provides that no funding shall be obligated for implementation of a final air exit solution until the Committees receive a report on air exit pilots, which shall be reviewed by GAO, and test at least two scenarios: (a) where airlines collect and transmit biometric exit data as proposed in the notice of proposed rulemaking (DHS-2008-0039, published on April 24, 2008) and (b) where CBP collects such information at departure gates.
Within the $300,000,000 appropriated, $20,000,000 is for identity management and screening services; $66,368,000 is for the Unique Identity program, and $25,327,000 is to move US-VISIT operations to a DHS data center, and establish a second disaster recovery site. The remaining $188,305,000 is available for operations and maintenance, program management, and development and implementation of biometric exit solutions.
EXPENDITURE PLAN
In developing its expenditure plan, DHS is directed to ensure that all required certifications address not only prior year program performance, systems, and processes, but also address the elements of the fiscal year 2009 program outlined in the plan as they relate to procurement, risk management, and human resource best practices. In addition, DHS is directed to include in the expenditure plan a schedule for the data center transfers and a description of funding required, as specified in the House report.
AIR EXIT PILOTS
DHS is directed to carry out the air exit pilots as outlined in the House report, with the exception that the pilots should be completed not later than January 31, 2009. There is no requirement for the report to be approved by the Committees. DHS is urged to work cooperatively with the airline industry to design and carry out air exit pilots as soon as possible.
2010 BUDGET SUBMISSION INFORMATION
DHS is directed to include with its fiscal year 2010 budget request, as specified in the House report, (1) a report on prospects for implementation of enumeration throughout DHS, and (2) a full description of the internal DHS governance process and steps US-VISIT and DHS have taken to define, manage and coordinate relationships between US-VISIT and other immigration and border management programs.
EXPENDITURE PLAN CERTIFICATIONS
The fiscal year 2008 US-VISIT expenditure plan submitted by the Department did not comply with requirements of the law; specifically, it failed to include required information in support of several certifications. Additionally, certifications seem to have been based in part on outdated assessments. DHS is directed to ensure that certifications submitted in support of future expenditure plans include all supporting documentation, and address current and prospective elements of the program.
US-VISIT MUST BECOME A CURRENT-YEAR PROGRAM
Repeated delays in submitting the legislatively required expenditure plans have resulted in US-VISIT becoming a forward-funded program. The fact that the fiscal year 2008 plan was not submitted until June 12, 2008, means that nearly a quarter of the program's budget will carry over into fiscal year 2009. This practice must stop. In prior years, Congress has approved virtually all the funding requested for the program. However, the reduction of $90,300,000 in this bill is a response to the delay in submitting the expenditure plans and the resulting unobligated balances. DHS is directed to submit expenditure plans on a timely basis in order to ensure that US-VISIT becomes an effective, current-year program.
Office of Health Affairs
The bill provides $157,191,000 for Office of Health Affairs (OHA). Of this amount $29,210,000 is for salaries and expenses. Funds for planning and coordination activities are available as detailed in the House report.
A total of $111,606,000 is provided for BioWatch. Concerns about the management of the BioWatch program, as detailed in the House report, include uncertainty about the relationship of generation 2.5 systems to generation 3.0 systems; a lack of clarity about how OHA measures the efficiency and effectiveness of the systems; and questions about how BioWatch should fit in with other surveillance efforts. In addition, it has become evident that, due to changes in performance standards and other factors, testing and deployment of the generation 3.0 systems could be delayed for as much as two years. The National Academy of Sciences (NAS) is currently evaluating the BioWatch program to assess its effectiveness and how it might fit in to an enhanced national public health surveillance system that now relies primarily on hospitals and the public health system. The results of the NAS evaluation are expected within a year, and OHA is expected to utilize those results in its BioWatch planning.
In light of the risks associated with biological threats and the ability to detect such threats in the most efficient manner, DHS must strike a careful balance between expediting the deployment of new technologies and ensuring that such technologies have been fully validated. In order to help strike that balance, a total of $34,498,000 is included for field testing systems beyond generation 2.0 that can be deployed within 12 months. Funding shall be competitively awarded. Field tests should be conducted in high risk urban areas, as determined by the Secretary, and should be initiated incrementally to ensure that lessons learned and performance data can inform decisions about future pilot deployments. Prior to commencing field testing, OHA shall work with the Science and Technology (S&T) Directorate to determine evaluation metrics. OHA is further directed to notify the Committees 15 days after deployment of any BioWatch device to a new location. OHA shall submit an expenditure plan on the BioWatch base program and an expenditure plan on the BioWatch field testing program within 60 days after the date of enactment of this Act. OHA shall notify the Committees within five days of any deviation from the expenditure plan.
Significant work must be done to better understand environmental exposures following disasters and to develop response protocols and technologies to mitigate health

MEASURING PREPAREDNESS
The bill provides $5,000,000 to accelerate efforts at FEMA to develop tools to measure the achievement and effectiveness of certain grant programs, including how grants increase the capability of States and local communities to respond to all-hazards. GAO is directed to evaluate these grants measurement tools and determine whether the tools are reasonable and effective in measuring how grants increase the preparedness level and capabilities of each grant recipient and reduce risk. FEMA is directed to create a task force and consult with State and local governments, as specified in the Senate report with regard to this effort.
NUCLEAR PREPAREDNESS
The bill provides $6,000,000 for a nuclear preparedness effort. To address the shortfall in nuclear preparedness efforts at the Department, Congress provided $5,500,000 to OHA in the U.S. Troop Readiness, Veterans' Care, Katrina Recovery, and Iraq Accountability Appropriations Act, 2007 (Public Law 110-28) to begin modeling the effects of a potential nuclear attack and planning ways to mitigate its effects, including direction to develop effective communications. FEMA is to build on this effort and work with State and local officials, and other relevant Federal agencies on planning efforts, and to continue to develop and test pre-event and post-event communication strategies. FEMA shall work with OHA and the Department of Health and Human Services on health aspects of a nuclear event.
MT. WEATHER CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS
The bill provides the budget request for Mt. Weather capital improvements, an increase of $10,413,000 from fiscal year 2008. FEMA is directed to provide a comprehensive five-year capital improvement plan, as detailed in the House report, for Mt. Weather by April 6, 2009.

DEVELOPING BEST PRACTICES
The bill provides $2,200,000 to develop and implement best practices of all-hazards preparedness and response specific to the unique geographical features and remoteness of the Pacific Area.
IMPACTS OF CLIMATE ON FUTURE DISASTERS
The bill provides $5,000,000 for the State of North Carolina to perform a risk assessment and mitigation strategy demonstration of the potential impacts of sea level rise in that State associated with long-term climate change, as discussed in the House report. FEMA is directed to use the study results to assess the long-term fiscal implications of climate change as it affects the frequency and impacts of natural disasters, and to disseminate information from the study to other states to inform their climate change mitigation efforts.
FLOOD CONTROL AND HAZARD MITIGATION DEMONSTRATION PROGRAM
The bill provides $2,425,000 to conduct demonstration flood control and hazard mitigation projects with interagency stakeholders, including FEMA, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and State and local agencies, as discussed in the House report. Funds are provided to demonstrate a wide range of project solutions across FEMA's multiple disaster preparedness and mitigation programs, including: retrofitting and hardening of existing flood walls and levees; pump refurbishment; land acquisition; transportation infrastructure modifications; and other flood damage reduction projects within the Upper Cumberland and Big Sandy Watershed, Kentucky.
BUDGET SUBMISSIONS
The bill continues a provision directing FEMA to submit its fiscal year 2010 budget request by office. Each office and FEMA region shall provide: (1) budget detail by object classification; (2) the number of full-time equivalents on board; (3) the number of full-time equivalent vacancies; and (4) the appropriation account(s) used to support the office and the programs managed by the office.
FEMA is directed to notify the Committees within 15 days if any office receives or transfers more than 10 percent of the total amount allocated to each office. FEMA is expected, as part of the fiscal year 2010 budget request, to contain budget detail for the programs specified in the House report.
FIRST RESPONDER READINESS
FEMA is directed to submit a report, as specified in the House report, regarding the availability of training and an analysis of response capabilities of the U.S. territories. FEMA is directed to examine major training programs to determine the utility of additional sites for all-hazard first responder training and report to the Committees on its findings.
STAKEHOLDER INVOLVEMENT
The bill withholds $10,000,000 until the Secretary of Homeland Security, in coordination with the Administrator of FEMA, certifies and reports to the Committees that certain conditions have been met regarding the process to incorporate stakeholder input for grant guidance development and award distribution. Input from State Administrative Agencies, Regional Working Groups, Federal Preparedness Coordinators, the National Advisory Council, and other stakeholder groups shall be sought for this process, in accordance with the Senate report. A similar provision is included within the Office of the Secretary and Executive Management.
SPECIAL POPULATIONS
FEMA is directed to submit the report specified in the House report regarding Limited English Proficiency populations.
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
The bill provides the President's budget request for information technology improvements.
REGIONAL CAPABILITY
FEMA is not currently using its Federal Medical Contingency Station (FMCS) Type-1. However, FEMA Region IV and the states within that region have developed a plan for incorporating the FMCS Type-1 into a regional medical response system, in which the FMCS Type-1 would be assigned to a state in the region but be available for both regional and national medical response via the Emergency Management Assistance Compact. FEMA is directed to transfer FMCS Type-1 to Region IV for this purpose.

FEMA is directed, in conjunction with OHA, to report to the Committees regarding the current state of disaster preparedness capabilities of emergency medical services, as discussed in the House report. FEMA is encouraged to require State and local governments to include Chief Information Officers in planning efforts, as discussed in the Senate report. Further, FEMA is encouraged to consider the need for mass evacuation planning and pre-positioning of equipment for areas potentially impacted by mass evacuations in allocating first responder funds.
GRANTS MANAGEMENT AND COORDINATION
FEMA is expected to continue to fully engage agencies with subject matter expertise within the Department, when appropriate, in the development of grant guidance and the determination of awards. Such agencies include the Coast Guard, TSA, NPPD, OHA, S&T, the Law Enforcement Advisor to the Administrator, the Office of Emergency Communications, and the DHS Office of State and Local Law Enforcement.
FEMA is directed to assume all coordination functions of grant programs for the Department and be the primary point of contact for all grantees.
COMPLYING WITH THE 9/11 ACT
FEMA is directed to comply with the requirements of the 9/11 Act, as discussed in the House report including ensuring that current and future grantees are aware of and comply with the law, and removing the time limitation for intelligence analysts.
CRITICAL EMERGENCY SUPPLIES
FEMA is directed to allow grant recipients to allocate a reasonable portion of grant funds, as determined by FEMA, for critical emergency provisions such as shelf stable food products, water, and basic medical supplies. FEMA should award funding for this purpose only after certifying that grant applicants have a viable inventory management plan, an effective distribution strategy, sustainment costs for such an effort, and logistics expertise to avoid situations where funds are wasted because supplies are rendered ineffective due to lack of planning. FEMA shall report to the Committees on lessons learned and best practices regarding this newly allowable expense, including how critical supplies and the distribution of them can be coordinated among Federal, State, and local entities for the most efficient and effective response.
STATE HOMELAND SECURITY GRANT PROGRAM
The bill provides $950,000,000 for the SHSGP. The bill includes a provision directing that the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico shall be considered a State in the allocation of grant funds to local and tribal governments. In accordance with the 9/11 Act, at least 25 percent of SHSGP and UASI funds shall be used for Law Enforcement Terrorism Prevention (LETPP) activities. FEMA is directed to provide clear guidance to States and urban areas to ensure that the intent of LETPP is fully realized and the program is fully maximized.
Included in the amount provided is $60,000,000 for Operation Stonegarden. All awards shall be made on a competitive basis to tribal governments and units of local government, including towns, cities, and counties along the border of the U.S. to enhance the coordination between local and Federal law enforcement agencies. Eligible costs for Operation Stonegarden are as described in the House report. Only CBP and FEMA shall make award decisions. No administrative costs shall be deducted by States.
URBAN AREA SECURITY INITIATIVE

PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION SECURITY ASSISTANCE AND RAILROAD SECURITY ASSISTANCE
The bill provides $400,000,000 for Public Transportation Security Assistance and Railroad Security Assistance. Of this amount $25,000,000 is provided for Amtrak security needs. The bill includes a provision directing the Department to make grants directly to public transportation agencies. FEMA is directed to notify the states of the grantees at the time of the award to promote state-wide collaboration. The bill also prohibits the Department from requiring a cost share for fiscal year 2008 and fiscal year 2009 funds.
PORT SECURITY GRANTS
The bill provides $400,000,000 for Port Security grants. The Coast Guard shall make all final grant recommendations for Port Security grants.

RADIATION PORTAL MONITOR PROGRAM
The bill provides $120,491,000 for the Radiation Portal Monitor Program. Within this appropriation, full funding has been provided for DNDO's effort to procure and deploy additional polyvinyl toluene (PVT) based fixed radiation portal monitors to seaports and land borders and to deploy PVT units in the air cargo environment. A reduction has been made to the advanced spectroscopic portal (ASP) monitor program due to further delays in the development of these technologies. The bill includes a prohibition on full scale procurement of ASP monitors until the Secretary has certified and reported to the Committees that a significant increase in operational effectiveness merits such a decision. If the Secretary is unable to certify that ASP monitors are more effective than the current PVT monitors, then DNDO should use its fiscal year 2009 funding to acquire traditional PVT radiation portal monitors. The bill also requires separate and distinct certifications for primary and secondary deployments in recognition of the inherently unique operational requirements each presents. The bill prohibits high-risk concurrent development and production of mutually dependent software and hardware components of detection systems. This restriction is included to address the acquisition and fiscal risks associated with such concurrency and in response to the testing difficulties DNDO has encountered over the last fiscal year. Finally, the Secretary shall consult with the National Academy of Sciences before making such certification decisions.

(INCLUDING RESCISSIONS OF FUNDS)
Section 501. The bill continues a provision that no part of any appropriation shall remain available for obligation beyond the current year unless expressly provided.
Section 502. The bill continues a provision that unexpended balances of prior appropriations may be merged with new appropriations accounts and used for the same purpose, subject to reprogramming guidelines.
Section 503. The bill continues and modifies a provision that provides authority to reprogram appropriations within an account and to transfer up to 5 percent between appropriations accounts with 15-day advance notification of the Committees. A detailed funding table identifying programs, projects, and activities is included at the end of this statement. This table along with funding levels specified in the report required under subsection (e) shall serve as the control level for all reprogrammings. These reprogramming guidelines shall be complied with by all agencies funded by the Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2009.
The Department shall submit reprogramming requests on a timely basis and provide complete explanations of the reallocations proposed, including detailed justifications of the increases and offsets, and any specific impact the proposed changes will have on the budget request for the following fiscal year and future-year appropriations requirements. Each request submitted to the Committees should include a detailed table showing the proposed revisions at the account, program, project, and activity level to the funding and staffing (full-time equivalents and positions) levels for the current fiscal year and to the levels requested in the President's budget for the following fiscal year.
The Department shall manage its programs and activities within the levels appropriated. The Committees are concerned with the number of reprogramming proposals submitted for consideration by the Department and remind the Department that reprogramming or transfer requests should be submitted only in the case of an unforeseeable emergency or situation that could not have been predicted when formulating the budget request for the current fiscal year. When the Department submits a reprogramming or transfer request to the Committees and does not receive identical responses from the House and Senate, it is the responsibility of the Department to reconcile the House and Senate differences before proceeding, and if reconciliation is not possible, to consider the reprogramming or transfer request disapproved.
The Department is not to submit a reprogramming or transfer of funds after June 30 except in extraordinary circumstances, which imminently threaten the safety of human life or the protection of property. If a reprogramming or transfer is needed after June 30, the notice should contain sufficient documentation as to why it meets this statutory exception.

DIVISION E--MILITARY CONSTRUCTION AND VETERANS AFFAIRS AND RELATED AGENCIES APPROPRIATIONS ACT, 2009
Following is an explanation of the effect of this division, which makes appropriations for military construction, the Department of Veterans Affairs, and related agencies for the fiscal year 2009. As provided in section 4 of the consolidated bill, this explanatory statement shall have the same effect with respect to the allocation of funds and implementation of this division as if it were a joint explanatory statement of a committee of conference.
Matters Addressed by Only One Committee.--The language and allocations set forth in House Report 110-775 and Senate Report 110-428 should be complied with unless specifically addressed to the contrary in the bill and this explanatory statement. Report language included by the House, which is not changed by the report of the Senate or this explanatory statement, and Senate report language, which is not changed by this explanatory statement, is approved by the Appropriations Committees of both Houses of Congress. This explanatory statement, while repeating some report language for emphasis, does not intend to negate the language referred to above unless expressly provided herein. In cases where the House or the Senate has directed the submission of a report, such report is to be submitted to both Houses of Congress.
TITLE I
DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
Items of General Interest
Incrementally Funded Projects.--The Appropriations Committees note that the Administration requested several large military construction projects that can be incrementally funded, but were instead submitted as large single-year requests, in accordance with a directive from the Office of Management and Budget to the Department of Defense to severely restrict the use of incremental funding for military construction. The Committees have previously notified the Administration that they reserve the prerogative to provide incremental funding where appropriate, in accordance with authorizing legislation. The Appropriations Committees continue to believe that military construction projects should be fully funded or separated into stand-alone phases when practical. In some cases, however, incremental funding makes fiscal and programmatic sense. The Appropriations Committees have therefore agreed that the following projects will be incrementally funded: Command and Battle Center, Wiesbaden, Germany; Barracks and Dining, Fort Carson, Colorado; and Barracks and Dining, Fort Stewart, Georgia. The Committees fully support the completion of these projects.
Foreign Currency Fluctuations Account Transfers.--The Department of Defense is directed to submit to the Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress a quarterly report on the Foreign Currency Fluctuations, Construction, Defense account. This report shall specify the amount transferred to the Foreign Currency account from each military construction and family housing account, and all other accounts for which an appropriation is provided in this Act, during the preceding fiscal quarter, and the amounts transferred from the Foreign Currency account to the above accounts during the same period. This report shall be submitted no later than 30 days after the close of each fiscal quarter. In addition, the Department of Defense is directed to notify the Committees on Appropriations within seven days of transferring any amount in excess of $10,000,000 to or from the Foreign Currency account.
Reprogramming Guidelines.--The following reprogramming guidelines apply for all military construction and family housing projects. A project or account (including the sub-elements of an account) which has been specifically reduced by the Congress in acting on the budget request is considered to be a congressional interest item and as such, prior approval is required. Accordingly, no reprogrammings to an item specifically reduced below the threshold by the Congress are permitted, except that the Department of Defense may seek reprogrammings for appropriated increments.
The reprogramming criteria that apply to military construction projects (25 percent of the funded amount or $2,000,000, whichever is less) continue to apply to new housing construction projects and to improvements over $2,000,000. To provide the services the flexibility to proceed with construction contracts without disruption or delay, the costs associated with environmental hazard remediation such as asbestos removal, radon abatement, lead-based paint removal or abatement, and any other legislated environmental hazard remediation may be excluded, provided that such remediation requirements could not be reasonably anticipated at the time of the budget submission. This exclusion applies to projects authorized in this budget year, as well as projects authorized in prior years for which construction has not been completed. Planning and design costs associated with military construction and family housing projects may also be excluded from these guidelines.
In instances where prior approval to a reprogramming request for a project or account has been received from the Committees on Appropriations, the adjusted amount approved becomes the new base for any future increase or decrease via below-threshold reprogrammings (provided that the project or account is not a congressional interest item as defined above).
In addition to these guidelines, the services are directed to adhere to the guidance for military construction reprogrammings and notifications, including the pertinent statutory authorities contained in DOD Financial Management Regulation 7000.14-R and relevant updates and policy memoranda.
Submission of Overdue Reports.--The Appropriations Committees have previously expressed concern at the Department's frequent failure to comply with deadlines for submitting mandated reports. Again in 2008, a number of reports related to major Department initiatives were not delivered on time, if at all, nor was notice received from the Department as to why the reports were late or when they would be submitted. Many of these reports are planning documents, intended to demonstrate that the Department is adequately coordinating its several ongoing initiatives, such as the Global Defense Posture moves, the Grow the Force initiative, and base realignment and closure. The failure to submit these reports contributes to the Committees' concern that the Department may not have developed a thorough blueprint for some of these programs prior to execution, nor adequately considered all of the infrastructure ramifications of carrying out significant force reorganizations while conducting two wars. Reports that have been mandated by the Committees are necessary to ensure proper congressional oversight and to inform congressional decisions related to the Department's budget requests; the failure to submit them in a timely manner is unacceptable. The Secretary of Defense and the service secretaries therefore are directed to submit all reports that are currently overdue no later than 30 days after the enactment of this Act, and to assiduously comply with future reporting deadlines. In the event that a deadline is not met, the Department shall submit a written explanation for the failure to deliver the report, and an expected date of delivery, no later than 7 days after the deadline.
Military Quality of Life Initiative.--The Appropriations Committees include funding to provide additional quality of life facilities for military personnel and their families, continuing an initiative that began in fiscal year 2008. Through hearings, field visits, and briefings from the Department, Army and Marine Corps trainee and recruit housing, and medical treatment facilities, have been identified as priority requirements in need of greater funding. The bill therefore includes $122,200,000 for three additional Army and Marine Corps barracks projects, and $110,735,000 for additional medical treatment facility design and construction. The medical treatment facility funding will provide $57,900,000 to renovate the hospital at Camp Lejeune, which will add 7,410 marines under the Grow the Force initiative, and $52,835,000 to accelerate planning and design for a hospital replacement at Fort Bliss, which will receive four additional brigades by 2012 under Army plans for base realignment and closure and global restationing.
Air National Guard Initiative.--The Air National Guard has a large unfunded requirement for fire stations at flying locations, yet in the past two budget submissions, the Administration has requested no funding for Air National Guard fire stations. In congressional testimony on the fiscal year 2009 budget request, the Air Force acknowledged that it was accepting ``manageable risk'' in facilities and infrastructure funding to help finance the recapitalization of its aging air and space force. The Air National Guard military construction budget request for fiscal year 2009 was $34,374,000, a 60 percent decrease from the previous year's request. Due to the critical need for firefighting capability at Air National Guard flying locations, the bill includes $28,000,000 to expedite the construction of Air National Guard fire stations.
Army National Guard Initiative.--The Director of the Army National Guard has identified emerging facility requirements needed to support the growth of Army National Guard missions vital to homeland security and the ongoing war on terror, including aircraft maintenance, unit training, and interagency training. The bill includes $147,000,000 to expedite construction of facilities needed to support these emerging requirements.

TITLE II
DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS
Items of Interest
New GI Bill implementation.--Public Law 110-252 provided $100,000,000 for salaries and expenses and $20,000,000 for information technology to implement the ``Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Act of 2008''. The Department has testified to the Congress its intent to implement this benefit by accelerating the development of The Educational Expert System (TEES) and expect this automated system to be operational by August 1, 2009, when the Act becomes effective. The Committees are greatly concerned that the Department is relying exclusively on the success of this automation to ensure a timely, satisfactory implementation of this program. The Committees agree that veterans should be able to apply for educational benefits electronically but also want to ensure that these veterans are permitted to apply using a non-electronic method. Additionally, the Committees agree that these veterans should be able to obtain assistance from the Department of Veterans Affairs educational benefit employees for any questions or concerns that they may have when filing their application. Further, the Committees also agree that the implementation of this program should not cause the Department to lose ground in improving the timeliness of claims processing for other educational benefits. The Committees direct the Department to report within 30 days of enactment of this Act on the plan to develop and deploy TEES for this program, its contingency plan if delays preclude deployment by August 1, 2009, the process that will allow veterans to file applications by a non-electronic means, the process that will allow veterans to obtain the assistance of educational benefit employees, the metrics that the Department will use to measure veteran satisfaction with claims processing for this program, and the steps the Department will take to ensure that implementation of this benefit does not negatively impact other educational benefits programs. The Committees direct the Department to include in its quarterly status report to the Committees the progress made by the Department to meet the milestones for the implementation of TEES as presented on September 11, 2008, to the Congress, the average days to process educational benefits claims for the other educational benefits programs, the average days to process claims for this program upon implementation, and the amounts executed to implement this program including TEES. In addition, the Committees direct the Office of Inspector General to provide a quarterly report to the Committees to include a review of the Department's success in meeting project milestones, an assessment of the implementation plan, and identification of any issues that may prevent the timely, satisfactory implementation of this program.
Veterans Benefits Administration
COMPENSATION AND PENSIONS
(INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)
The bill appropriates $43,111,681,000 for Compensation and Pensions. Of the amount provided, not more than $26,798,000 is to be transferred to General Operating Expenses, Medical Support and Compliance, and Information Technology Systems for reimbursement of necessary expenses in implementing provisions of title 38.
READJUSTMENT BENEFITS
The bill appropriates $3,832,944,000 for Readjustment Benefits. The amount appropriated is $746,000,000 more than the budget request and reflects the partial year cost of the Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Act of 2008, which becomes effective on August 1, 2009.
VETERANS INSURANCE AND INDEMNITIES
The bill appropriates $42,300,000 for Veterans Insurance and Indemnities.
VETERANS HOUSING BENEFIT PROGRAM FUND
The bill appropriates such sums as may be necessary for costs associated with direct and guaranteed loans for the Veterans Housing Benefit Program Fund. The bill limits obligations for direct loans to not more than $500,000 and provides that $157,210,000 shall be available for administrative expenses.
VOCATIONAL REHABILITATION LOANS PROGRAM ACCOUNT
(INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)
The bill appropriates $61,000 for the cost of direct loans for the Vocational Rehabilitation Loans Program Account, plus $320,000 to be paid to the General Operating Expenses account. The bill provides for a direct loan limitation of $3,180,000.

The bill appropriates $646,000 for administrative expenses of the Native American Veteran Housing Loan Program Account.
GUARANTEED TRANSITIONAL HOUSING LOANS FOR HOMELESS VETERANS PROGRAM ACCOUNT
The bill provides up to $750,000 of the funds available in General Operating Expenses and Medical Support and Compliance to carry out the Guaranteed Transitional Housing Loans for Homeless Veterans Program Account.
Veterans Health Administration
Health Care Sharing Incentive Fund.--The bill includes language to allow a minimum of $15,000,000, to be transferred to the Health Care Sharing Incentive Fund to facilitate collaboration between the Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs. The Appropriations Committees agree the most important area for collaboration and investment between these departments is to ensure a seamless transition for our veterans. While the Appropriations Committees do not intend to preclude the use of this fund for any joint project, the Committees strongly urge that priority for funding be given to improving the continuity of care for our veterans through joint clinics; the development of additional programs for women veterans health issues and the identification and treatment of military sexual trauma; the development of collaborative suicide prevention programs and initiatives; the development of registries for trauma, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI); and the development of joint clinical practice guidelines for polytrauma injury, traumatic brain injury (to include diagnostics), blast injury, mental health/PTSD, burn, and amputee patients based on evidence-based medicine.
Priority 8 Enrollment.--Funding has been provided within the Medical Services; Medical Support and Compliance; Medical Facilities; Construction, Minor Projects; and Information Technology Systems accounts to support increased enrollment for Priority 8 veterans whose income exceeds the current veterans means test and geographic means test income thresholds by 10 percent or less. The Secretary is directed to report to the Committees on Appropriations within 60 days of enactment of this Act on the plan to provide medical care to this segment of Priority 8 veterans.
Innovation.--The Appropriations Committees agree that investing in innovation is a key factor in ensuring a responsive, efficient, quality health care system and commends the Department for providing funds from the National Reserve Fund to finance innovation. The Committees believe that more can be done, however, to test and adopt innovations from the private sector and encourage the Department to increase funding for this program so that additional public/private pilot projects may be implemented in fiscal year 2009. The Committees direct the Department to report to the Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress annually on the funding provided, and from which account, from the National Reserve Fund for innovation for the previous fiscal year by April 1st of each year.
Transfer Authority.--The bill provides the Department with below threshold transfer authority between the Medical Services and Medical Support and Compliance accounts. Transfer authority is included in order for individual medical centers to have the flexibility to address emergent needs. The Secretary is directed to include in the Department's quarterly reports an accounting, by VISN, of the utilization of this below threshold transfer authority.
MEDICAL SERVICES
(INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)
The bill appropriates $30,969,903,000 for Medical Services. Of the amount provided, $1,600,000,000 is available for obligation until September 30, 2010.
The bill provides $375,000,000 to increase Priority 8 enrollment.
