Information System. This system will integrate 18 computer
systems necessary to track offender information and adjudicate
cases in a timely manner. The Committee is encouraged by the
progress the Courts have made in this area. The Committee is
also encouraged that the General Accounting Office's evaluation
of the Courts plan determined that, once implemented, the
system would be effective in increasing the quality and
efficiency of court operations.
Defender Services in the District of Columbia Courts
The Committee recommends $32,000,000 for the Defender
Services in the District of Columbia, $2,285,000 below the
fiscal year 2002 appropriation and the same as the President's

for capital and equipment improvements.
The Committee is aware that the Capital Children's Museum
is in need of a new facility and urges the Museum to conduct a
feasibility study of a proposed southwest waterfront site for a
relocated museum in Washington, D.C.
Federal Payment for Waterfront Improvements
The Committee recommends a Federal payment of $1,000,000 to
the District of Columbia Department of Housing and Community
Development to continue improvements on the historic Potomac
Southwest Waterfront.
Federal Payment for Asbestos Remediation
The Committee recommends a Federal payment of $1,000,000 to
the General Services Administration to reimburse Fairfax
County, Virginia for the remediation of asbestos on the former
site of the Lorton Correctional Complex.
Federal Payment for Capital Improvements
The Committee recommends a Federal payment of $2,000,000 to
the District of Columbia Fire and Emergency Medical Services
Department to repair, renovate, and rehabilitate fire stations
in need of capital improvements.
Federal Payment for Special Education
The Committee recommends a Federal payment of $14,000,000
for special education activities in the District of Columbia
Public Schools (DCPS). Included in this amount is $5,000,000
for special education transportation services to facilitate the
initial lease or purchase of a single centralized bus lot with
fueling and repair capabilities. The District spends
approximately $10,000 per student to provide bus transportation
for special education students. This funding is provided to
help reduce costs associated with the management of multiple
lots throughout the region, the price paid for fuel and
repairs, the added hours required of drivers, and the
unnecessary miles logged on buses.
Also included in this amount is $9,000,000 for special
education satellite facilities to facilitate the creation of
three quality and cost-effective non-public satellite
facilities for special education students. Currently, DCPS
educates almost 2,000 special education students in non-public
special education facilities, many of which are located a
considerable distance from the District. Unless these students
are brought back into the District, this will continue to place
a significant cost burden on the public education system. This
funding is provided to create campuses within the District
using DCPS facilities to begin to address the long-term goal of
returning all special education students to the District and to
public schools.
The Committee requests DCPS to submit a report no later
than February 15, 2003 detailing what steps are being taken to
further reduce the high costs associated with providing for the
needs of special education students.
Federal Payment to the Credit Enhancement Revolving Fund
The Committee recommends a Federal payment of $16,000,000
for the credit enhancement revolving fund. These funds are to
facilitate the purchase, construction, and/or renovation of
facilities for public charter schools in the District of
Columbia.
Federal Payment for the Family Literacy Program
The Committee recommends a Federal payment of $5,000,000
for the Family Literacy Program to be administered through the
Child and Family Services Agency. The city has approximately
130,000 illiterate adults. These funds are provided to develop
family literacy programs designed to address the needs of these
adults together with endowing their children with an
appreciation for literacy and strengthen familial ties.
Programs would be based in the nine transforming/reconstituted
public schools throughout the city because almost two-thirds of
the city's illiterate adults live in neighborhoods immediately
surrounding these nine targeted schools. The Committee requests
that the District be prepared to testify at the fiscal year
2004 budget hearings on the progress of this program.
Federal Payment to the District of Columbia Water and Sewer Authority
The Committee recommends a Federal payment of $50,000,000
to the District of Columbia Water and Sewer Authority (WASA) to
begin implementation of the Combined Sewer Overflow Long-Term
Plan. The District's combined sewer system was designed and
constructed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in the late
1800's. These funds, which are to be matched 100 percent by
WASA, would be used for design and construction of structural
modifications to the District's wastewater pumping and
conveyance systems as well as design and construction of
structural improvements to WASA facilities. This would result
in a dramatic reduction in the volume and frequency of
discharges to the Anacostia River and improve the aesthetic and
water quality of the river.
The Committee notes that the Combined Sewer Overflow Long-
Term Plan will affect waterways that are bordered by Federal
facilities, including properties owned by the National Park
Service. The Committee expects that all documents submitted by
WASA to local and to Federal agencies in compliance with permit
and similar regulatory requirements will receive appropriate
and prompt review to help avoid unnecesasry delay in
implementing projects associated with the Plan
Federal Payment to the District of Columbia for Capital Development
The Committee recommends a Federal payment of $24,298,000
to the District of Columbia for Capital Development. This
amount includes $150,000 for the continuation of renovation and
restoration work of the historic Eastern Market near the
Capitol Hill neighborhood. These funds would contribute to the
economic development of the Pennsylvania Avenue, SE corridor.
Also included in this amount is $19,148,000 for the Unified
Communications Center. This Center will consolidate the command
and control functions for all District first responders,
including police, fire, and emergency medical services as well
as the 311 non-emergency services system and the Mayor's 727-
1000 citizen assistance service. The Center will also provide
centralized regional coordination and communications during
major emergencies involving the Federal Emergency Management
Agency, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Capitol
Police, the Secret Service, and the Park Police. The Committee
requests the District to submit a progress report no later than
February 15, 2003. This report should include the feasibility
and cost to establish an integrated test facility prior to the
Center becoming operational. The remaining $5,000,000 is for a
forensic laboratory that will meet all applicable national
standards of a full service crime laboratory, medical examiner/
morgue facility, and public health laboratory. This laboratory
will reduce the city's reliance on Federal entities for testing
and analysis work when investigating crimes, which not only
diverts space and resources from Federal investigations, but
also increases risk of contamination/degradation of evidence
and causes delays in solving crimes. The Committee does not
intend to fully fund this new state-of-the-art laboratory and
expects that the District will contribute additional local
funds so that this project will be on pace for completion by
fiscal year 2005.
Federal Grants
The District of Columbia participates as a State, county
and city in the various Federal grant programs. At the time the
fiscal year 2003 budget was submitted the District estimated
that it would receive a total of $2,019,330,000 in Federal
grants during the coming fiscal year.
The following table shows the amount of Federal grants the
District expects to receive and the office or agency that
expects to receive them:

Balanced Budget Recommended
The Committee is recommending a balanced budget. The
District's fiscal year 2003 budget request, submitted to
Congress on July 15, 2002, was based on May 6, 2002 revenue
estimates and was a balanced budget. Due to a slowdown in the
economy, the District, like many other State and local
jurisdictions, is faced with unanticipated spending pressures.
The Chief Financial Officer has certified new revenue estimates
that are $322,700,000 lower than the May estimates. In the
interest of getting the appropriations process started, the
Committee has included a provision in the bill that provides
for a balanced budget. The Committee is fully aware that the
Mayor and the Council of the District of Columbia are working
diligently to develop a plan to close this budget gap and will
submit a revised budget allocation and financial plan to
Congress on October 1, 2002. The Committee commends the Mayor
and the Council for their quick and responsive action and will
make the necessary adjustment to the appropriations bill as the
bill moves through the legislative process. It is estimated
that sufficient resources will be available from current
revenue authority to finance operating expenses. A financial
plan for each of the seven categories for operating expenses--
(1) General Fund, (2) University of the District of Columbia,
(3) Water and Sewer Authority, (4) Lottery and Charitable Games
Fund, (5) Cable Television and Telecommunications, (6) Sports
and Entertainment Commission, and (7) Washington Convention
Center follows:

Public Schools (DCPS). Included in this amount is $5,000,000
for special education transportation services to facilitate the

fueling and repair capabilities. The District spends
approximately $10,000 per student to provide bus transportation
for special education students. This funding is provided to
help reduce costs associated with the management of multiple
lots throughout the region, the price paid for fuel and
repairs, the added hours required of drivers, and the
unnecessary miles logged on buses.
Also included in this amount is $9,000,000 for special
education satellite facilities to facilitate the creation of
three quality and cost-effective non-public satellite
facilities for special education students. Currently, DCPS
educates almost 2,000 special education students in non-public
special education facilities, many of which are located in
considerable distance from the District. Unless these students
are brought back into the District, this will continue to place
a significant cost burden on the public education system. This
funding is provided to create campuses within the District
using DCPS facilities to begin to address the long-term goal of
returning all special education students to the District and to
public schools.
