TITLE IX

WAIVER OF CERTAIN SANCTIONS AGAINST INDIA AND PAKISTAN

(a) Waiver Authority.--Except as provided in subsections

(b) and (c) of this section, the President may waive, with respect to India and Pakistan, the application of any sanction contained in section 101 or 102 of the Arms Export Control Act (22 U.S.C. 2799aa or 22 U.S.C. 2799aa-1), section 2(b)(4) of the Export Import Bank Act of 1945 (12 U.S.C. 635(b)(4)), or section 620E(e) of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended, (22 U.S.C. 2375(e)).

(b) Exception.--The authority to waive the application of a sanction or prohibition (or portion thereof) under subsection

(a) shall not apply with respect to a sanction or prohibition contained in subparagraph (B), (C), or (G) of section 102(b)(2) of the Arms Export Control Act, unless the President determines, and so certifies to Congress, that the application of the restriction would not be in the national security interests of the United States.

(c) Termination of Waiver.--The President may not exercise the authority of subsection (a), and any waiver previously issued under subsection (a) shall cease to apply, with respect to India or Pakistan, if that country detonates a nuclear explosive device after the date of enactment of this act or otherwise takes such action which would cause the President to report pursuant to section 102(b)(1) of the Arms Export Control Act.

(d) Targeted Sanctions.--

(1) Sense of the congress.--

(A) It is the sense of the Congress that the broad application of export controls to nearly 300 Indian and Pakistani entities is inconsistent with the specific national security interests of the United States and that this control list requires refinement; and

(B) export controls should be applied only to those Indian and Pakistani entities that make direct and material contributions to weapons of mass destruction and missile programs and only to those items that can contribute to such programs.

(2) Reporting requirement.--Not later than 60 days after the date of enactment of this Act, the President shall submit both a classified and unclassified report to the appropriate congressional committees listing those Indian and Pakistani entities whose activities contribute to missile programs or weapons of mass destruction programs.

(e) Congressional Notification.--The issuance of a license for export of a defense article, defense service, or technology under the authority of this section shall be subject to the same requirements as are applicable to the export of items described in section 36(c) of the Arms Export Control Act (22 U.S.C. 2776(c)), including the transmittal of information and the application of congressional review procedures.

(f) Repeal.--The India-Pakistan Relief Act (title IX of the Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 1999, as contained in section 101(a) of Public Law 105-277) is repealed effective October 21, 1999.

This Act may be cited as the ``Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2000''.

And the Senate agree to the same.

The managers on the part of the House and the Senate at the conference on the disagreeing votes of the two Houses on the amendment of the Senate to the bill (H.R. 2561), making appropriations for the Department of Defense for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2000, and for other purposes, submit the following joint statement to the House and the Senate in explanation of the effect of the action agreed upon by the managers and recommended in the accompanying conference report.

The conference agreement on the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2000, incorporates some of the provisions of both the House and Senate versions of the bill. The language and allocations set forth in House Report 106-244 and Senate Report 106-53 should be complied with unless specifically addressed in the accompanying bill and statement of the managers to the contrary.

Senate Amendment: The Senate deleted the entire House bill after the enacting clause and inserted the Senate bill. The conference agreement includes a revised bill.

Definition of Program, Project, and Activity

The conferees agree that 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, 2000, the accompanying House and Senate Committee reports, the conference report and accompanying joint explanatory statement of the managers of the Committee of Conference, the related classified annexes and reports, 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, 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 2001, the conferees direct the Department of Defense 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 operation and maintenance in any budget request, or amended budget request, for fiscal year 2001.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

pay increase and retirement reform

The conferees recommend an increase of $165,000,000 to the Active, Reserve, and Guard Military Personnel accounts to provide for a 4.8 percent military pay raise, effective January 1, 2000. This is an increase of 0.4 percent over the budget request of 4.4 percent. In addition, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2000 revised the budget's legislative proposal to repeal the Redux retirement system which results in savings to the personnel accounts. Accordingly, the conferees recommend a total reduction of

$136,000,000 to the Active, Reserve, and Guard Military Personnel accounts for modifications to the 1986 Military Retirement Reform Act.

personnel underexecution savings

The conferees recommend a total reduction of $219,000,000 to the Active Military Personnel accounts due to lower than budgeted fiscal year 1999 end strengths, and differences in the actual grade mix of officers and enlisted recommended in the budget request. The General Accounting Office estimates that the active components will have approximately 9,700 fewer personnel on board to begin fiscal year 2000, and as a result, the fiscal year 2000 pay and allowances requirements for personnel are incorrect and the budgets overstated.

force structure changes

The conferees recommend a total of $103,600,000 in the Military Personnel and Operation and Maintenance accounts for force structure that was not included in the budget request, as follows: ------------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------------------

dfas salary misalignment

At the request of the Air Force, the conferees recommend realigning $39,200,000 from ``Military Personnel, Air Force'' to ``National Guard Personnel, Air Force'' due to a Defense Finance and Accounting Service error involving Air Force personnel salaries.

basic allowance for housing reform

The conferees recommend an increase of $100,000,000 across the Active Military Personnel accounts for Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) reform. The additional funds will allow the Department to complete the transition phase of BAH reform, as directed by the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2000.

army contingency operations

The conferees recommend a reduction of $80,000,000 to

``Military Personnel, Army'' to reflect the reduced U.S. troop levels in Bosnia, and the associated military personnel pay and allowance costs requested in the fiscal year 2000 budget request.

recruiting and retention

The conferees recommend an additional $399,200,000 in the Military Personnel and Operation and Maintenance accounts to support the Department's recruiting, advertising, and retention programs. The conferees are aware that some of the Services are experiencing difficulty in meeting accession goals and that first and second term retention rates, along with pilot retention rates, are of major concern. Therefore, the conferees recommend additional funds to improve the Services' recruiting and retention efforts in the following programs:

arms control programs

The conferees have agreed to reduce funding for certain arms control activities in the Army and the Air Force. If additional funds prove necessary to meet emergent requirements stemming from valid treaty obligations, the conferees expect the Department of Defense to submit a reprogramming request subject to normal, prior approval reprogramming procedures.

combating terrorism

Within the operation and maintenance appropriations, the conferees have provided significant resources for the antiterrorism activities of the Department. No later than June 30, 2000, the Secretary of Defense shall submit to the congressional defense committees a report which describes the use of all funds appropriated for combating terrorism activities.

homestead air force base

It has been more than seven years since the devastation of Homestead Air Force Base by Hurricane Andrew. The region was further impacted by the subsequent decision of the Base Realignment and Closure Commission to close and realign the installation in 1993. This, coupled with the delay in economic redevelopment, has created a devastating economic impact throughout the local area. This region is also experiencing extremely high unemployment rates far above the national average. The conferees recognize these adverse economic conditions and urge the Air Force to expeditiously complete requisite environmental studies prior to conveying certain real property parcels on the installation to facilitate interim use activities that will benefit the local economy.

dod worker safety enhancement

The conferees are frustrated by the Department's poor record on safety and worker incident rates relative to private industry and other federal agencies. Accordingly, the conferees direct the Department to initiate programs funded from within existing Operation and Maintenance accounts at designated DOD facilities that employ alternative, private sector proven, models of safety to determine the best way to improve the Department's record with respect to injury incidence rates and associated costs.

The conference agreement provides $239,214,000 for Environmental Restoration, Formerly Used Defense Sites.

Environmental Contracting

The conferees are concerned about the effect of the Department's use of large indefinite delivery-indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contracts on small businesses. Therefore, the conferees included a general provision (Section 8130) which directs that not more than 35 percent of the funds obligated by the Department of Defense for environmental remediation shall be executed through IDIQ contracts with a total contract amount of $130,000,000. Furthermore, the conferees direct that the Secretary of Defense provide a report to the congressional defense committees no later than January 15, 2000 on the Department's use of IDIQ contracts during fiscal year 1999 and that this information be provided quarterly throughout fiscal year 2000. The January 15th report should also include an analysis comparing IDIQ contracts with other contract options in terms of cost, involvement of small businesses, and the inclusion of local companies.

Joliet Army Ammunition Plant

The Department of the Army manufactured munitions and explosives at the Joliet Ammunition Plant from the 1940s until approximately 1976. Portions of the property became heavily contaminated as a result of this use. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency listed a portion of the arsenal on the National Priority List in 1987. In consultation with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency, the Army developed a Record of Decision (ROD) outlining the remediation of the arsenal. The Army and the Joliet Arsenal Development Authority continue to work closely to better coordinate those issues concerning the Army's cleanup of the Joliet Arsenal. The conferees strongly encourage the Army to continue to fully support the cleanup and conversion projects at this site and ensure the cleanup is completed in a timely manner.

Iowa Army Ammunition Plant

The Secretary of the Army shall conduct a review of past nuclear weapons activities of the Iowa Army Ammunition Plant in order to determine possible environmental contamination, and possible exposure of former nuclear weapons workers and the local community to such activities. This review shall be conducted in coordination with the Department of Energy and provided to the congressional defense committees not later than June 15, 2000.

Massachusetts Military Reservation

The conferees are aware that the Massachusetts Military Reservation (MMR) located on Cape Cod, Massachusetts is undergoing extensive environmental characterization and remediation. The portion of MMR leased to the Army and licensed back to Massachusetts for training and support of the MA Army National Guard, known as Camp Edwards, is subject to two administrative orders issued in 1997 by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency--Region 1 under the authority of the Safe Drinking Water Act. Those orders specifically require characterization activities at and near the training range/impact area at Camp Edwards to determine the impact of military-related activities on the underlying groundwater. In order to facilitate compliance with those orders, the conferees include a general provision (Section 8154) that provides for the use of funds appropriated to Operation and Maintenance, Army to pay for costs associated with such characterization and any ensuing remediation.

El Toro

The conferees are concerned about the status of the former Marine Corps Air Station El Toro and encourage the Department to take all necessary environmental remediation measures.

Newmark

The conferees continue to have serious concern about the Department's failure to respond at a senior level to groundwater contamination at the Newmark and Muscoy Superfund sites in California. The conferees understand that both the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the City of San Bernardino believe that the contamination is a direct result of industrial waste from Camp Ono, a World War II depot and maintenance facility. The EPA has reported that there is ``no other reasonable source for the contamination,'' than the former Army base, and, more recently, that the Army is ``a likely source of the contamination.''

Report language in the conference reports accompanying the fiscal year 1997 and 1998 Defense Appropriations Bills highlighted the urgency of this program and requested adequate funding and prompt action by the Department to remediate this site. The conferees are disappointed with the Department's response. The Department has effectively ignored a September, 1998 court order to mediate the dispute. The conferees are particularly concerned by the Department's lack of a response to the conferees November, 1998 request for senior-level medication involving the Department and the Environmental Protection Agency. As a result, the conferees strongly believe that the Department should, within 60 days of enactment of this Act, initiate senior-level mediation in this matter with the EPA, the City of San Bernardino, and the State of California and report to the congressional defense committees fully explaining the Department's plan to reach a timely resolution to this matter.

overseas humanitarian, disaster, and civic aid

The conference agreement provides $55,800,000 for Overseas Humanitarian, Disaster, and Civic Aid.

former soviet union threat reduction

The conference agreement provides $460,500,000 for the Former Soviet Union Threat Reduction program.

reprogramming policy

The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense not to implement any reprogramming actions (including notification reprogrammings) submitted to the congressional defense committees unless the Committees on Appropriations communicate approval of the reprogrammings. This direction applies to all defense accounts.

interim contractor support

The conference agreement retains funding in Air Force procurement accounts for Interim Contractor Support (ICS) for Fiscal Year 2000. For the C-17, E-8, and B-2 programs, the conferees provided ICS funding in separate procurement line-items to facilitate better oversight in Congress and in the Department of Defense of the large levels of ICS in these programs. These line-items are subject to the same reprogramming procedures as other line-items in these accounts. The conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to ensure procurement programs expeditiously transition these efforts to operation and maintenance accounts. In particular, the conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to transition C-17 ICS (known as Flexible Sustainment) to the operations and maintenance account in the fiscal year 2001 budget submission. The conferees further direct that ICS be clearly identified in procurement budget documentation.

The conferees have provided $50,840,000 for the Patriot missile upgrade program, an increase of $20,000,000 only for a service life extension program. The conferees direct that none of the additional funds may be obligated until the Secretary of Defense provides an assessment of various Patriot missile modification programs, including, but not limited to, the Patriot Anti-Cruise Missile and the GEM upgrade programs. The assessment is to include the capability of each system against all potential target sets, to include cruise missiles and the development and acquisition costs associated with each modification program. Thirty days after the Secretary's findings are submitted to the defense committees, the funds may be used to upgrade/extend the life of Patriot missiles in the Army inventory.

javelin

The conferees agree to provide the authority for the Army to enter into a Javelin multi-year contract. However, the conferees direct that the Army may not enter into such a contract until thirty days after the Secretary of Defense certifies the quantities purchased are correct and that any outstanding technical and manufacturing issues have been resolved and tested.

abrams tank upgrade multi-year procurement

With some reluctance, the conferees have approved the Army's request to renew multi-year procurement authority to continue the M1A2 Abrams tank upgrade program subject to the condition described below. The conferees seriously question the Army's proposal to enter a new follow-on multi-year agreement that would increase the average unit cost of a tank upgrade (M1 to M1A2 SEP) from $5.6 million per tank in FY 1999 to $6.7 million per tank starting in FY 2001. The conferees note that, in general, the trend throughout the Department has been that follow-on multi-year agreements show significant unit price decreases as production efficiencies improve and mature. While much of the cost increase for this program can be attributed to lower planned production rates, the conferees remain puzzled why greater efforts have not been made to lower unit costs, especially when the cost of this upgrade now threatens to equal the cost of procuring a new tank.

The conferees agree that the Army shall not enter into a new multi-year procurement agreement for the M1A2 SEP program until it has conducted a detailed and thorough reexamination of the costs of this program and has reevaluated the overall program structure in light of the Army's ongoing reevaluation of its overall modernization strategy and plan. The conference agreement therefore restricts approval of the new MYP agreement until 30 days after the Army has submitted a report to Congress detailing the results of its M1A2 SEP cost and program structure review. The conferees expect this report to:

Describe renewed efforts by the Army and by industry to reduce production cost in all areas;

Recommend ways to improve cost accounting practices to shift overhead costs not directly attributable to production of this tank upgrade to the proper accounts;

Reexamine options (in concert with any new armored force revisions made as part of the larger strategic review) to use newer tank chassis' for the upgrade that might significantly lower unit cost;

Reexamine the planned rates of production for this program;

Reassess the cost and benefits of installing an auxiliary power unit as part of this upgrade;

Review ways to further reduce the cost of the second generation FLIR system; and provide a detailed description of the terms and conditions of its proposed multi-year procurement agreement.

The conferees believe the Army should revisit its decision to commit to inefficient rates of 80 tanks per year over three years and only 43 tanks in year four and 24 tanks in year five.

With respect to revaluation of the APU, the conferees are disturbed that more consideration and priority has not been given to upgrades that would reduce the very high cost of operation of this tank. The one proposed modification to reduce cost was the on-board auxiliary power unit, which was subsequently dropped from the package for ``affordability'' reasons. Given the well known problems with the Abrams power plant, the conferees would think that any modification that would reduce the significant O&S costs for the equipment would receive high priority. The conferees strongly urge the Army to revise its plan to include this equipment.

The conferees also direct the Secretary of the Army to submit a report, no later than June 15, 2000, that outlines the additional costs required to completely equip the ``first to fight corps'' with top line equipment and the Army's reasons for adopting a plan that deviates from this concept. The conferees do not expect the time required to submit this additional report to impact on the award of the multi-year contract.

family of medium tactical vehicles

The conferees support the Army's competition strategy and their desire to engage in practices which seek to lower acquisition costs and improve the quality of the Family of Medium Tactical Vehicle truck. Additionally, the conferees understand that the Army must use funds appropriated for the FMTV program to establish and conduct any competition that will determine the future producers of FMTV trucks. The conferees direct that there be no delay in the competition for follow-on FMTV contract awards.

The conferees direct the Secretary of Army to develop an acquisition strategy using competitive procedures for the next FMTV production contract based on, but not limited to, a validated FMTV technical data package which will serve as the baseline for the FMTV configuration. Furthermore, the conferees direct the Army to provide a report on the status of the acquisition strategy no later than March 15, 2000.

global combat support system--army

The conferees are concerned about the Department's tendency to begin fielding an information technology system prior to the system actually passing Milestone III. Therefore the conferees direct the Army not to spend $11,900,000 of the funds provided in Other Procurement, Army for the Global Combat Support System--Army until after the system has received Milestone III approval.

pacific mobile emergency radio system (PACMERS)

The conferees are concerned that the existing emergency radio capability of the Pacific Command may have become an inadequate stovepipe system, consisting mainly of analog technology non-interoperable with the new and emergency technologies used by other federal, State and local governments. The maintenance and operation of existing equipment is no longer feasible nor cost effective.

The proposed follow-on system, the Pacific Mobile Emergency Radio Systems (PACMERS), will allow total interoperability with all military services, federal law enforcement, and State and local agencies. PACMERS will provide the capabilities to insure emergency communications for first-responders to weapons of mass destruction and counter-terrorism activities, consequence management, as well as other situations derived by civil disobedience or natural disaster. The capabilities of PACMERS will support Presidential Directive 62 and 63.

True cost savings will be realized by utilization of a total turn-key, leased system, which will negate government risk associated with the maintenance, technological obsolescence, and capital investment of a procured system. The anticipated cost-savings and economies of scale associated with the anticipated enhancements of PACMERS are of great interest to the conferees. In an expression of support for the PACMERS system concept, the Department of Defense is encouraged to accelerate installation, leading to a full operational capability as soon as is feasible.

joint stars

The conferees agree with the Senate direction regarding the initiation of a pilot program to re-engine the JSTARS fleet with leased commercial engines. The conferees note that lease authority applies only to JSTARS and not to KC-135 aircraft.

on-board oxygen generating system (obogs)

The House recedes to the Senate with modifications. The conferees concur with the Senate report language directing the Secretary of the Air Force to provide a report on compliance with previous Congressional direction regarding installation of OBOGS on various aircraft, including implementation costs and potential cost savings. The Senate report further directs that OBOGS purchases from qualified vendors, including small business, be conducted on a competitive basis. The conferees fully support the competitive procurement of OBOGS for those aircraft models for which OBOGS procurement action has not been initiated.

c-135 modifications

The conferees have provided $104,000,000 for re-engining of KC-135 tankers. The conferees are aware of multiple options for re-engining KC-135 aircraft. A number of options exist, including a new proposal to shift modified C-141 engines to these aircraft.

The conferees believe that the KC-135 re-engining program should proceed under a comprehensive plan based on requirements and cost, utilizing competition and commercial practices to the maximum extent practicable. The conferees direct the Department of Defense to analyze all options for re-engining KC-135 aircraft. The conferees direct that the plan assess the annual and total cost of all options and the range of capability improvements offered by each option. The conferees direct that this plan be provided to the congressional defense committees no later than February 25, 2000, and prior to the obligation of the added funds.

The U-2 is the premier tactical reconnaissance asset requested by the CINCs around the world. This system of aircraft, pilot, ground crew and equipment is tasked daily to support military operations, monitor conflicts, and maintain peace agreements. The recent NATO campaign in Kosovo, where the U-2 provided 24-hour in-theater coverage, showcased the capabilities of the system. The conferees understand that the U-2 was considered by many to be the ``backbone'' of the airborne Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) mission in Kosovo.

The conferees are concerned that the increased number of missions, along with the limited number of U-2 aircraft and the declining number of qualified pilots in the Air Force, will adversely affect the ability of the U-2 to meet future ISR requirements.

Therefore, the conferees request the Secretary of Defense submit a report to the defense subcommittees of the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations, which addresses the following:

1. The performance and contributions of the U-2 aircraft in Operation Allied Force;

2. The status of qualified U-2 pilots and training needs for new pilots;

3. The number of U-2 aircraft required to maintain current capabilities, train new pilots, and continue to fulfill the Air Force's high altitude reconnaissance mission; and

4. The Air Force's plan to sustain the U-2 weapon system, with its multi-sensor payloads, and sensor-to-shooter flexible targeting assets until such time as a replacement with equal or greater capability can be operationally fielded.

This report is due to the Committees within 90 days of enactment of this Act.

The conferees agree to provide a total of $10,000,000 for U-2 cockpit and defensive systems. The Air Force should prioritize these upgrades and apply the $10,000,000 as necessary to meet the most pressing requirements.

warfighter advanced technology

The conferees support the development of environmentally compatible products and services essential for the efficient operation of the military and civilian sectors and recognize the unique factors in tropical and subtropical regions that provide the technological and resource base for these products and services. The conferees agree to provide

$6,000,000, as recommended by the Senate, to pursue the applied research, development, and demonstration of biosystems-derived food, fiber, textile, biomedical, industrial and environmentally compatible products and services to meet military and civilian needs under the cooperative management of the U.S. Army Natick Soldier Center and the U.S. Department of Agriculture Sustainable Economic Activity Program.

crusader

The conferees support the Army's continued development of the Crusader advanced field artillery system to address support deficiencies. The conferees have reduced funding for the Crusader program by $75,806,000 due to schedule delays. The conferees do not view the decrement as a lack of support for the Crusader program and strongly encourage the Army to adequately fund the program in subsequent budget requests.Lightweight 155 Towed Howitzer Program

The conferees are concerned that the Lightweight 155mm Towed Howitzer program has been suffering from contractor and program deficiencies, which has led to a two-year delay in the program. The program has failed to fully utilize the expertise of Army arsenals in the development and design of the howitzer. Considering the long history of the arsenals in advancing howitzer producibility techniques, it is important that they be actively involved in the program, especially during the crucial EMD/prototype phase to ensure that efficient production techniques are designed at the earliest possible stage of the program. In addition, the arsenals constitute an important resource in providing spare parts and special development items for howitzer forces in time of war and national emergencies.

The conferees direct the Army and the Marine Corps to develop a plan to include Rock Island Arsenal in producibility and manufacturing aspects of howitzer production, including recoil mechanisms and carriages for the Lightweight 155mm Towed Howitzer Program and other Army/Marine Corps future towed artillery programs. The conferees expect the Army and the Marine Corps to issue a report to the Senate and House Appropriations Subcommittees on Defense no later than sixty days after the enactment of this Act outlining the plan.

anti-armor weapons masterplan

Last year, the conferees directed the Secretary of Defense to provide an Anti-Armor Weapons Masterplan with the fiscal year 2000 budget request. The plan, which was delivered five months after the budget submission, did not address the concerns outlined in the statement of the managers. The conferees are disappointed in the plan because it showed no evidence or future prospects of reducing the number of programs being pursued, no evidence of authority or control being exercised by OSD, and little evidence of rigorous critique of claimed requirements. OSD was directed to submit a report ``with the purpose of identifying and eliminating excess capabilities.'' The report does not outline a strategy for the future, but merely justifies the current anti-armor weapons budget.

Therefore the conferees direct the Secretary of Defense to provide an analysis with the fiscal year 2001 budget request that evaluates the joint effectiveness of the existing anti-armor weapons in addressing the threat depicted in the defense planning guidance and how the planned anti-armor weapons are expected to fill shortfalls in current capability in the defense planning guidance scenarios. Based on this analysis, the Secretary should prioritize the Department's anti-armor weapon acquisition programs. The analysis is to be submitted with the fiscal year 2001 budget request.

atlantic command experimentation

The conferees agree to restrictions recommended by the House concerning use of fiscal year 1999 and 2000 funds which should be noted on the Base for Reprogramming (DD Form 1414) for fiscal year 2000. The conferees recognize, however, that the Atlantic Command will work in areas such as the Single Integrated Air Picture, which facilitate improved attack of critical mobile targets. Funds provided in this Act for Atlantic Command Experimentation are only for an integrated program which addresses the short, mid, and long terms and may not be used on a program which fails to consider short and near term war fighting improvements. The conferees do not agree to House language requiring quarterly reports to the defense congressional committees, but direct instead that the Secretary of Defense provide semi-annual reports for the next two years.

surface effects ship

The conferees urge the Department of the Navy to procure a 110 foot surface effects ship if needed to fulfill a fast patrol craft requirement.

maritime technology

In the fiscal year 1999 DoD Appropriations Conference Report, the conferees directed the Secretary of the Navy to provide funds to the Maritime Administration to complete testing of the potential interim solution to remediate potential damage resulting from oil spills from existing tank vessels. Based on additional information, the conferees have determined that the Maritime Administration is not the appropriate organization to execute this effort. Therefore, the conferees direct the fiscal year 1999 RDT&E funds be redirected to the office of Naval Reserve for program execution.

commercial operations and support savings initiative (COSSI)

The conferees have provided $3,000,000 for MTTC/IPI in COSSI. The conferees fully expect MTTC/IPI to abide by program cost-sharing requirements in the future consistent with OSD requirements. However, for the initial award, the intent is for the requirement for cost sharing to be waived.

Software program managers network

The conferees continue to support service programs and related activities provided by the Software Program Managers Network (SPMN). The conferees direct the Department to continue this program at last year's level of effort and, in addition, the conferees provide $1,000,000 to develop pilot projects to attract, train and retain skilled software personnel.

materials

The conferees are aware of the potential for fuel cells to reduce the logistics requirements for batteries and liquid fuels, and improve operational effectiveness of various systems. The conferees note that a full-scale demonstration of an advanced solid polymer electrolyte fuel cell that uses PBO based membranes holds great promise in increasing the performance of and reducing the cost of fuel cells. The conferees request that the Secretary of the Air Force provide a report by February 1, 2000 reviewing PBO fuel cell technology and evaluating its potential to meet the demanding requirements of the `Air Expeditionary Force Deployment' concept of operation.

crew systems and personnel protection technology

The conference agreement includes $12,000,000 only for ejection seat risk reduction efforts. These funds shall be divided equally between all viable competitors and are to be used to bring each candidate seat to a common qualification standard consistent with joint Air Force-Navy requirements. This effort is to be designated as a Joint Ejection Seat Program, with program management responsibilities to rotate between the Air Force and Navy in accordance with a schedule specified by the Secretary of Defense. The conferees direct the Air Force and the Navy, in conjunction with their fiscal year 2001 budget requests, to provide a program and associated funding plans that will bring each candidate seat to a common qualification standard in an expeditious manner. The Air Force and the Navy should include sufficient funds for each ejection seat, consistent with that plan, in their budget requests. The conferees expect this program will lead to development of fully qualified seats that can be competed for installation into the Joint Strike Fighter and other current and future aircraft.

milstar

The conference agreement funds the MILSTAR program in the Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation, Air Force account as in past years. While the Air Force has indicated that the sixth and last satellite will not be used for Independent Operational Test and Evaluation and therefore would have been more appropriately funded in procurement, the conferees acknowledge that this satellite is now 60% assembled. The conferees therefore believe that it is impractical to transfer funding for this satellite to the procurement account at this stage in the program.

f-22

The conferees have included $1,222,232,000, the budget request amount, for the F-22 engineering and manufacturing development program. In addition, the conferees have included two general provisions providing funds for the F-22 program. The first provision appropriates an additional $1,000,000,000 which is available for transfer for the purposes of F-22 program research, development, test and evaluation, and advance procurement. This provision includes a prohibition on the award of a full funding contract for low-rate initial production for the F-22 aircraft program until the first flight of an F-22 aircraft incorporation Block 3.0 software has been conducted. The conferees agree that up to

$277,100,000 of the funds appropriated by this provision may be transferred to the ``Aircraft Procurement, Air Force'', account only for advance procurement of F-22 aircraft. The conferees further agree that any funds transferred for F-22 advance procurement shall not be available for obligation until the Secretary of Defense certifies to the congressional defense committees that all 1999 Defense Acquisition Board exit criteria have been met. The conferees direct the Air Force to establish cost accounting procedures which allow the accurate tracking of the cost of the additional test aircraft apart from other F-22 development efforts. The conferees further direct that costs associated with the additional test aircraft be separately identified in future research and development budget documents using the budget categories of the F-22 ``P-5'' budget exhibit. A second provision appropriates an additional $300,000,000 for F-22 program termination liability or for other F-22 program contractual requirements in lieu of termination liability obligations. The conferees agree that the funds provided under this provision are not available for expenditure until October 1, 2000.

space based infrared system (sbirs)--high

The conferees direct that no more than $100,000,000 of the funds provided for SBIRS High shall be obligated until the Secretary of Defense certifies that the production program complies with all DoD full funding policies (including the policy against funding more than 20% of the end-item cost using advance procurement) and that the program concurrency risk has been reduced relative to the acquisition strategy proposed by the Joint Estimating Team. The conferees further direct that concurrent with the Secretary of Defense certification above, the Director of Operational Test and Evaluation submit an assessment of whether the SBIRS high acquisition strategy allows for adequate testing to support a production decision.

global positioning system spectrum harmonization

The conferees continue to support the development of global positioning system technologies as being vital to the national security and economic interests of the United States. It has come to the attention of the conferees that increases in the aggregate noise that is generated into the spectrum band restricted for the delivery of GPS by users of spectrum in other frequency bands may pose a significant threat to the delivery of GPS. The conferees once again recognize the critical national security, public safety and economic interests that are implicated by this threat to the delivery of GPS, and therefore direct the DOD to initiate a spectrum harmonization study to be conducted by the National Telecommunications and Information Administration of the United States Department of Commerce to be delivered to the defense appropriations committees no later than January 31, 2000.

theater air command and control simulation facility (taccsf)

Of the amount appropriated for infrastructure upgrades at TACCSF's new facility, $500,000 will be made available to Sandia National Laboratories and Los Alamos National Laboratories to initiate a process to leverage their scientific, analytical, and computational capacities to advance and expand the simulation and modeling activities at TACCSF.

mariah ii wind tunnel

In 1998, Congress combined the Air Force's and NASA's Hypervelocity Wind Tunnel programs under the name of Mariah II. This was done in recognition of the Air Force's requirements for Air Defense as well as the reputation of Arnold Engineering Development Center in the development and use of wind tunnels. The conferees believe that a hypervelocity ground test facility is critical for the development of the next generation of space and re-entry vehicles. The conferees are also concerned that the Air Force has been hesitant to adequately fund this successful high technology project. Any delays in this program would not only defeat the research momentum of all of the partners, but it would destroy the excellent teaming that has enabled the success to date. The conferees encourage the Department of the Air Force to support this necessary research and urge the Department of Defense to budget funds for fiscal year 2001 and beyond. high altitude endurance vehicle

global hawk unmanned aerial vehicle

The conferees are very concerned that the Air Force is planning to proceed with a revised Global Hawk program that has not been formally presented to Congress for approval. Additionally, it is unclear how this new program, if approved, would be funded in the out-years. The conferees understand that the total cost of the program could exceed

$800,000,000 and that the Air Force may divert funds budgeted or appropriated for other Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) assets, to fully fund the revised Global Hawk program. The conferees agree that using other ISR assets as a ``bank'' from which to draw funds for the Global Hawk program would likely not serve the best interests of the Department of Defense.

Therefore, while the conferees have agreed to provide an increase of $15,000,000 for Global Hawk, this should not be perceived as an approval of the revised Global Hawk program. The conferees agree that if the revised Global Hawk program is what the Administration plans to pursue, the program should be presented in a future budget request. Any shortfall in funding in fiscal year 2000 may be accommodated by approval of a reprogramming request.

seismic research

Last year's nuclear tests in South Asia raises serious concerns about the Department's ability to support a robust operational nuclear test monitoring program. The conferees direct that from within available funds, $10,000,000 shall be available only for peer-reviewed basic and applied research only to support operational nuclear test monitoring. Of this amount, $2,500,000 shall be available only for peer-reviewed seismic research; and $7,500,000 shall be available only for peer-reviewed basic research--$6,500,000 of which is only for explosion seismology research. The conferees direct that the basic and applied seismic research program consider the specific prioritized research topics recommended to the Department by the National Research Council.

The conferees direct the Defense Threat Reduction Agency to award these funds through a competitive peer panel review process; to segregate the basic and applied research funds for this program into clearly identifiable projects within the 6.1 and 6.2 budget categories; and to improve integration of the basic and applied components of the program. Further, the conferees direct the Department to provide, by December 1, 1999, a detailed report to the Congressional Defense Committees on the plan for obligating these funds. Finally, the conferees direct the Department to sustain funding for these activities in future budgets to ensure the expertise needed in this critical operational program. national missile defense risk reduction

To take full advantage of joint ballistic missile defense efforts with allied nations, the conferees direct the Director of the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization to provide a report to the Appropriations Committees of the House and Senate by February 1, 2000, on those technologies, designs, or technical approaches developed by, or in cooperation with, allied ballistic missile defense programs that would help reduce the level of technical, schedule, or cost risk to any element of the U.S. national missile defense program.

advanced research center

The conferees direct the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization not to establish any new missile defense data centers.

Further, the conferees have provided an additional

$2,500,000 for the operational support of the Army's Advanced Research Center (ARC) for a total level of funding of

$14,500,000. The conferees understand this level to be sufficient to maintain modeling and simulation capability at the facility in support of Theater and National Missile Defense Programs while providing the necessary infrastructure support for the facility. As such, users should not be required to offset operational costs with program funding in any form. Only peculiar and unique support should require such contributions and under no condition should such fees be assessed or required by higher commands. The conferees direct BMDO to maintain and plan for adequate levels of operational support for the ARC without reliance upon program user fees.

transportation technologies

The House report recommended that the Center for Commercial Deployment of Transportation Technologies be considered for up to $15,000,000 of the funds provided in Operation and Maintenance, Defense-wide. To be consistent with United States Transportation Command's established funding mechanism and management system the conferees believe that the Center should be considered for up to $15,000,000 of the funds provided in Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Defense-wide instead.

medical research

The conferees applaud the medical research and development efforts and accomplishments of the Department of Defense, and, within funding provided for the Defense Health Program,

$275,000,000 for medical RDT&E efforts to be conducted by the Department. Within these funds, $175,000,000 is for the Army's peer reviewed Breast Cancer Research Program (BCRP), and $75,000,000 is for the Army's peer reviewed Prostate Cancer Research Program (PCRP).

The remaining funds of $25,000,000 are to be made available for peer reviewed medical research grants and activities. The conferees direct that the Secretary of Defense, in conjunction with the service Surgeons General, establish a process to select medical research projects of clear scientific merit and direct relevance to military health.

Such projects could include: acute lung injury research; advanced soft tissue modeling; alcohol abuse prevention research; Defense and Veterans Head Injury Program; Dengue fever vaccine research; childhood asthma; diabetes; digital mammography imagining; Gulf War Illnesses; Padget's disease; retinal display technology; smoking cessation; stem cell research; and volumetrically controlled manufacturing.

The conferees direct the Department to provide a report by March 1, 2000, on the status of this peer reviewed medical research program, to include the corresponding funds provided in fiscal year 1999.

custodial care

The conference agreement includes a general provision clarifying the definition of custodial care as it pertains to the delivery of health care services provided by and financed under the military health care system's case management program. This provision also sets the overall policy for access of military health care system beneficiaries in the case management program. The House bill included a similar provision. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The conferees expect the Department to expeditiously revise its regulations to comply with this provisions.

anthrax vaccine immunization program (avip)

The Comptroller General shall study the immunization program and report on the following: effects on military morale, retention, and recruiting; the civilian costs and burdens associated with adverse reactions for members of the reserve components; adequacy of long- and short-term health monitoring; assessment of the anthrax threat, including but not limited to foreign doctrine, weaponization, quality of intelligence, and other biological threats. A classified annex may be submitted to meet this requirement.

The Department is directed to enter into a contract with the National Research Council to independently study the effectiveness and safety of the anthrax vaccine. The following issues shall be considered in the report: the types and severity of adverse reactions, including gender differences; long-term health implications; inhalational efficacy of the vaccine against all known anthrax strains; correlation of animal models to safety and effectiveness in humans; validation of the manufacturing process focusing on, but not limited to discrepancies identified by the Food and Drug Administration in February 1998; definition of vaccine components in terms of the protective antigen and other bacterial products and constituents; identification of gaps in existing research.

Preliminary reports addressing these issues will be submitted to the Committee on Appropriations and the Committee on Armed Services of both the House and the Senate by April 1, 2000.

oxford house

The conferees direct the Department to conduct a pilot project to improve treatment outcomes for alcoholism and drug addiction. The pilot project should evaluate the effectiveness and cost efficiency of Oxford House recovery homes in improving recovery without relapse following treatment for alcoholism and drug addiction among active and retired military personnel and their dependents. The conferees direct the Department to provide a report by March 1, 2000 on the status of this pilot project.

triservice nursing research program

The conferees recommend $6,000,000 for the TriService Nursing Research Program (TSNRP). Within these funds, the conferees encourage the Department to leverage telehealth and distance learning capabilities, and to continue efforts in developing telemetered passive physiological monitoring for field conditions. Further, the conferees encourage the Department to begin funding the TSNRP in the Department's annual budget.

[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TH08OC99.089

Chemical Munitions Destruction, Army

The conferees concur with the decision of the Department of Defense to conduct evaluations of three additional alternative technologies under the Assembled Chemical Weapons Assessment (ACWA) Program. The conferees direct that

$40,000,000 of the funds made available for Chemical Agents and Munitions Destruction, Army are only to conduct the additional ACWA evaluations. The conferees direct that the ACWA program is to proceed under the same guidelines as contained in Public Law 104-208, and continue to use the Dialogue process and Citizens Advisory Technical Teams and their consultants.

The conferees agree that the current budget execution rates for the Chemical Agents and Munitions Destruction program are unacceptable and hopes that the Army improves the budget execution rates in fiscal year 2000. In the event that program budget execution rates improve during the fiscal year, and additional funds are required to sustain the establishment and operation of the nine chemical demilitarization facilities, the conferees expect the Army to submit a reprogramming request subject to normal, prior approval reprogramming procedures.

The conferees disagree with the House direction with regard to an Inspector General report on the Chemical Agents and Munitions Destruction Program, Army. The conferees agree with House language directing the General Accounting Office to submit a report on the budget activities and management of the program.

technologies assessment

The conferees agree to provide $2,500,000 to assess technologies to detect air, land and maritime platforms which are evading currently operating detection and monitoring systems either because of their technological deficiencies or their locations. The conferees specifically direct that the assessment consider the utility of an additional Relocatable Over The Horizon Radar site, a Wide Aperture Radar Facility, and a ground station to support a tropical remote sensing radar. The conferees direct that the assessment be concluded by April 1, 2000 and that its findings be included in a report to the defense committees not later than May 15, 2000.

counter-drug intelligence and infrastructure support

The conferees agree to provide $30,000,000 for Counter-drug Intelligence and Infrastructure Support in order to support numerous initiatives including those outlined by the Senate in the Drug Free Century Act and those identified in House Report 105-244 to include Operation Caper Focus, P-3 FLIRs, observation aircraft, mothership operations, A-10 aircraft, and other joint military intelligence programs. The conferees direct the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Drug Enforcement Policy to provide a plan for utilization of these funds to the defense committees within 60 days of the enactment of this Act.

a-10 logistical and demilitarization support

The conferees direct the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Drug Enforcement Policy and Support and the Assistant Secretary of State, Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs to submit a joint report to Congress within thirty days of enactment of the accompanying Act assessing the cost effectiveness of using refurbished A-10 aircraft (currently in storage at AMARC) for the Department of State's coca eradication mission in Colombia. This report shall also discuss the time saved in returning such upgraded aircraft to combat condition should they be needed, compared to the time to bring a storage aircraft to the same combat configuration, and assess the fiscal and operational impacts on the active A-10 combat force of such a transfer. The conferees agree that, if this report contains a joint recommendation to use these aircraft for this mission, $5,000,000 shall be made available from the sums provided under ``Counter-drug Intelligence and Infrastructure Support'' only for this purpose, in accordance with the directive of the House.

forward operating locations

The conferees agree to a reduction of $27,000,000 to the budget request for Forward Operating Locations (FOLs). The conferees agree to provide $10,800,000 to be transferred to Military Construction, Air Force for planning and design of FOLs. The conferees also agree to provide $5,000,000 for transfer to Operation and Maintenance, Air Force only to be used for improvement and repair at the Curacao, Aruba, and Ecuador FOLs. Although the conferees are aware that the Commander in Chief of the U.S. Southern Command recommends that construction at these locations begin as soon as possible, the conferees are concerned that no formal permanent binding long-term agreements for the use of these facilities have been executed between any of the FOL host nations and the United States. Funding beyond that needed for planning and design activities is premature without such agreement in place. The conferees direct that future requests for Military Construction funding for these projects be contained in budget requests for Military Construction.

office of the inspector general

The conferees agree to provide $137,544,000 for the Office of the Inspector General. Of this amount, $136,244,000 shall be for operation and maintenance activities and $1,300,000 shall be for procurement.

emergency and extraordinary expenses

The conferees have agreed to increase the amount made available for emergencies and extraordinary expenses to

$700,000 and direct the Inspector General to submit an expenditures report in compliance with the requirements contained in section 127 of Title 10, United States Code.

The conference agreement also includes bill language specifying certain expenditures as amended by the conferees. These funds are provided, as follows:

Military Support Detachment (Light).--To provide the training and preliminary equipment issue to field an initial operating capability for traditional drilling Military Support Detachments (Light).

Appropriation Amount

National Guard Personnel, Army $2,000,000

National Guard Personnel, Air Force 500,000

Operation and Maintenance, Army 12,180,000

Appropriation Amount

Reserve Personnel, Army $2,000,000

Operation and Maintenance, Army 12,320,000

Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Army 6,000,000

The Conferees included a general provision (Section 8114) which amends House language that prohibits the Department of Defense from using funds provided in Department of Defense Appropriations Acts for the repair and maintenance of military family housing, and requires a review of Department of Defense practices by the DoD Office of the Inspector General.

The Conferees included a general provision (Section 8115) which amends House language which requires the Secretary of Defense to report on Advanced Concept Technology Demonstrations (ACTDs) prior to the obligation of funds, prohibits the further obligation of fiscal year 1999 funds for Line-of-Sight Anti-Tank (LOSAT) and provides that of funds available under the heading, ``Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Defense-Wide'' in Public Law 105-262,

$10,027,000 is only available for the Air Defense Surface to Air Missile.

The conferees included a general provision (Section 8116) which amends House language which provides that none of the funds under the heading, ``Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Defense-Wide'' in Public Law 105-262 are available for the Medium Extended Air Defense System.

The conferees included a general provision (Section 8121) which amends House language to enhance DoD oversight of information technology systems.

The conferees included a general provision (Section 8124) which amends House language that permits competitive auction of communication frequencies.

The new subsection (subsection (c)) reaffirms Congressional intent, as reflected in section 337(d)(4) of the Balanced Budget Act of 1997, that the FCC must ensure that the spectrum to be used for public safety is protected from interference. Section 337(a)(1) of that Act directed the FCC to allocate 24 megahertz for public safety uses, while the current legislation would accelerate the timing of the auction of 36 megahertz of neighboring spectrum which had been allocated in section 337(d)(2) of the 1997 Act. Because the public safety spectrum is adjacent to the spectrum now being auctioned, it is important to affirm that the interference directive in section 337(d) is not being superceded by the current legislation.

The Congress, in the Balanced Budget Act of 1997, required that public safety services be permitted to operate free from interference from neighboring spectrum. This subsection will reiterate, along with the statutory direction that the auction will be accelerated, that such protection for public safety spectrum must be maintained.

The conferees included a general provision (Section 8126) which amends House language prohibiting the transfer of armor piercing ammunition to any non-governmental entity.

The conferees included a general provision (Section 8127) which amends Senate language to provide for the waiver of payments by the National Guard for the use of equipment by certain non-profit organizations.

The conferees included a general provision (Section 8129) which amends Senate language that reflects the amounts appropriated for military personnel pay and retirement reform in the Fiscal Year 1999 Supplemental Appropriations Act.

The conferees included a general provision (Section 8130) which amends Senate language to limit the funding that can be obligated through indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity environmental contracts.

The conferees included a general provision (Section 8133) as proposed by the Senate and amended, providing the Secretary of the Air Force the authority to lease aircraft for operational support purposes. The conferees direct that aircraft leased under this pilot program shall be commercially available, serving similar purposes in the commercial marketplace. The conferees believe that the Department of Defense could realize significant operations and support savings through employing the fewest aircraft types of a common configuration. In that regard, the Secretary shall make every attempt to lease aircraft of the type and configuration common to the DoD inventory and use accompanying logistics support mechanisms already in place. Modifications to these aircraft should be kept to a minimum to allow timely conversion to a marketable, civilian configuration, at minimum cost, if the aircraft are subsequently replaced.

The conferees included a new general provision (Section 8134) which reduces funding for Operation and Maintenance, Air Force to reflect unobligated amounts available in Public Law 106-31 for Readiness/Munitions.

The conferees included a general provision (Section 8136) which amends Senate language on the U.S. Atlantic Command joint experimentation program.

The conferees included a new general provision (Section 8145) which conditions the new C-17 multiyear authority provided in this Act upon certification by the Secretary of the Air Force that the average unit flyaway price of C-17 aircraft in a new multiyear contract will be at least twenty-five percent less than the average unit flyaway price of aircraft in the current multiyear contract.

The conferees included a new general provision (Section 8146) which establishes a transfer account for additional F-22 test aircraft and advanced procurement.

The conferees included a new general provision (Section 8147) which provides $300,000,000 for F-22 termination liability.

The conferees included a new general provision (Section 8148) which provides a grant for evaluating a standards and performance based academic model at DoD schools.

The conferees included a new general provision (Section 8149) which prohibits the payment of environmental fines or penalties unless specifically authorized by law.

The conferees included a new general provision (Section 8150) which amends Section 8145 of the fiscal year 1999 Department of Defense Appropriations Act concerning the demolition of buildings at the former Norton Air Force Base.

The conferees included a new general provision (Section 8151) which provides a grant for public schools with a high concentration of special needs military dependents.

The conferees included a new general provision (Section 8152) which makes a technical correction regarding the transfer of Military Construction funds appropriated in the fiscal year 1999 Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act.
