This bill also makes certain technical and conforming corrections to Public Law 108-7. Hearings The Committee held a hearing on March 27, 2003 and heard testimony from Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and Secretary of Homeland Security Tom Ridge and other representatives from the Department of Defense. Summary of the Bill On March 24, 2003, the President submitted a request for $74,725,028,000 in new budget authority for programs under the Department of Defense, Department of Homeland Security, Department of Justice, Department of State, Department of Transportation, Department of the Treasury, and the Legislative Branch. The Committee recommends $76,711,609,000 in new budget authority. Committee Priorities The primary goals of this bill are to fund the war on terrorism, provide international relief and reconstruction assistance, and ensure the protection and security of American citizens here at home. To achieve the first goal, the Committee is providing $62,559,000,000 to prosecute the military operations in Iraq, including replenishing munitions that are likely to be expended, maintaining critical manning levels, and maintaining air, ground, and sea operations. To achieve the second goal, the Committee is providing $7,850,820,000 to assist refugees or internally displaced persons in Iraq, support key coalition partners in the conflict with Iraq, and to support reconstruction of health services, sanitation, transportation, and telecommunications in Iraq. To ensure the third goal, the Committee is providing $4,676,000,000 to assist State and local governments in terrorism preparedness, provide increased border and maritime security, and protect critical infrastructure. TITLE I--SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATIONS CHAPTER 1 Subcommitte on Agriculture, Rural Development, and Related Agencies AGRICULTURAL PROGRAMS Agricultural Research Service BUILDINGS AND FACILITIES 2003 appropriation to date.............................. $119,480,000 2003 supplemental estimate.............................................. Committee recommendation................................ 98,000,000 The Committee recommendation includes $98,000,000 for further construction funds for the modernization of the Agricultural Research Service and Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service facilities near Ames, Iowa. CHAPTER 2 Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice, and State, the Judiciary, and Related Agencies DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE General Administration COUNTERTERRORISM FUND 2003 appropriation to date.............................. $993,000 2003 supplemental estimate.............................. 500,000,000 Committee recommendation................................ 500,000,000 The Committee recommends $500,000,000 for the Counterterrorism Fund to cover extraordinary costs associated with a terrorist threat or incident. This recommendation is identical to the request and, when combined with current unobligated balances and recoveries of $50,274,225, provides a total funding level of $550,274,225 for terrorism response. These funds are a down payment on fiscal year 2004 requirements. The Counterterrorism Fund was established in the 1995 Supplemental Appropriations Act after the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, and is under the control and direction of the Attorney General. These funds may be used to reimburse any Department of Justice organization for the costs incurred from the reestablishment of an office or facility damaged or destroyed as a result of a domestic or international terrorist incident, and to cover extraordinary expenses necessary to counter, investigate, or prosecute domestic or international acts of terrorism. The Federal Bureau of Investigation [FBI] has temporarily reassigned 650 agents from other divisions to the Counterterrorism Division to address the new priorities of the Bureau. The Committee directs the FBI to immediately and permanently transfer those 650 agents to the Counterterrorism Division. Should additional personnel be required to meet the missions of the Counterterrorism [CT] or Counterintelligence [CI] Divisions, the Committee directs the FBI to transfer up to 2,118 personnel, including 824 agents and 1,294 support staff, to the CT or CI Divisions as needed, subject to the requirements of section 605 of the Departments of Commerce, Justice, and State, the Judiciary, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2003. DEPARTMENT OF STATE Administration of Foreign Affairs DIPLOMATIC AND CONSULAR PROGRAMS 2003 appropriation to date.............................. $3,797,413,000 2003 supplemental estimate.............................. 101,420,000 Committee recommendation................................ 93,420,000 The Committee recommends $93,420,000 for Diplomatic and Consular Programs for expenses associated with the United States' military campaign in Iraq. The recommendation is $8,000,000 below the supplemental budget request. Of this amount, $15,600,000 is for medical services, including emergency medical supplies, chemical and biological antidotes, anthrax and smallpox vaccines, white powder evaluations, and medical training. Also of this amount, $10,000,000 is for worldwide security upgrades to: (1) increase the number of local guards; (2) procure chemical and biological countermeasures, including masks, suits, and detection equipment; (3) support requirements relating to intelligence; (4) increase temporary duty assignment teams to posts; (5) purchase armored vehicles; and (6) enhance the security of the Department's domestic facilities. Also of this amount, $2,000,000 is for Consular Affairs requirements relating to American citizen services and $30,020,000 is for Machine Readable Visa [MRV] fee shortfalls. Disruption of the border security program due to an MRV fee shortfall must be avoided at all costs. The recommendation therefore includes language providing for the automatic transfer of funding from the main Diplomatic and Consular Programs account to the account that funds the Border Security Program in the event that the MRV fee shortfall exceeds the ``backfill funding'' requested by the Department in this supplemental. Finally, within the total amount provided for Diplomatic and Consular Programs, $17,900,000 shall be available only for initial and secondary stage setup and operating costs for re-opening the United States Embassy in Baghdad, Iraq, and $17,900,000 shall only be available for diplomatic security programs associated with the re-opening of this post, including temporary duty staffing, physical security, technical security equipment, armored cars, and local guards. EMBASSY SECURITY, CONSTRUCTION, AND MAINTENANCE 2003 appropriation to date.............................. $1,255,288,000 2003 supplemental estimate.............................. 20,000,000 Committee recommendation................................ 82,000,000 The Committee recommends $82,000,000 for the overseas construction account. The recommendation is $62,000,000 above the supplemental budget request. Of this amount, $20,000,000 is to provide safe, secure, and functional temporary facilities for 200 United States Government personnel and 300 Iraqi local hires in Baghdad, Iraq. The Department is directed to report to the Committees on Appropriations regarding the special security considerations and procedures associated with the hiring of Iraqi nationals to work in United States diplomatic facilities in Baghdad, Iraq. The Committee is aware that the Department of State has proposed a cost-sharing arrangement so that other foreign affairs agencies may contribute to the escalating cost of constructing and securing United States diplomatic facilities. The Committee expects that all agencies with personnel occupying facilities leased, acquired, or constructed by the Department of State in Iraq will begin compensating the Department of State, according to the terms of the cost-sharing arrangement, in fiscal year 2005. Also, of the amount provided under this heading, $10,000,000 is for the Department to provide security enhancements to non-official facilities frequented by United States citizens overseas, with particular emphasis on schools attended by the dependents of non-military United States Government personnel. The Committee is concerned by the more frequent targeting by terrorists of locations that are not official United States facilities, but are tied to the United States either symbolically or because of the activities they accommodate, so-called ``soft targets''. The recommendation is consistent with prior Committee direction that the Department formulate a strategy for addressing the growing threat to soft targets. EMERGENCIES IN THE DIPLOMATIC AND CONSULAR SERVICE 2003 appropriation to date.............................. $6,458,000 2003 supplemental estimate.............................. 65,708,000 Committee recommendation................................ 40,000,000 The Committee recommends $40,000,000 for Emergencies in the Diplomatic and Consular Service. The recommendation is $25,700,000 below the supplemental budget request. Funds made available under this heading will ensure that the Department of State is able to fund the transportation costs and other associated costs of evacuating United States Government employees, their families, and private American citizens and to provide additional services to American citizens abroad should the need arise. In addition, the Committee recommends language allowing the Department of State to be reimbursed by other agencies for costs associated with the evacuation of those agencies' personnel from diplomatic posts. This will ensure that funds available to the Department for evacuations are continually replenished without the need for additional supplemental funding. RELATED AGENCY Broadcasting Board of Governors INTERNATIONAL BROADCASTING OPERATIONS 2003 appropriation to date.............................. $465,850,000 2003 supplemental estimate.............................. 30,500,000 Committee recommendation................................ 62,000,000 The Committee recommends $62,000,000 for the Broadcasting Board of Governors [BBG] to support the start-up costs of the Middle East Television Network [METN] and for the continuation of radio broadcasting to Iraq. The Committee strongly supports the Board's efforts to expand its outreach to audiences in the Middle East. There is prevalent satellite dish ownership in the Middle East, and BBG has identified television as a particularly effective means of communication with the people of this region. Public Law 108-7 provided $2,500,000 in seed funding for the METN. The supplemental recommendation supports the full cost of the first year of this initiative. CHAPTER 3 Subcommittee on Defense DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 2003 appropriation to date..............................$364,611,334,000 2003 supplemental estimate.............................. 62,381,500,000 Committee recommendation................................ 62,381,500,000 The Committee recommends $62,381,500,000 for the Department of Defense, as requested. Funds are recommended for: the conduct of military operations related to Operation Iraqi Freedom, and continuing military operations related to Operation Enduring Freedom, Operation Noble Eagle and the Global War on Terrorism; pay and allowances for Reserve and National Guard personnel called to active duty; unforeseen military personnel costs; the procurement of munitions and weapons; critical command, control, communications, and intelligence support; and coalition support. Recommendations for specific classified programs are addressed in the classified annex to the Committee's report. The Committee recommendation to fund the amount requested for defense requirements is made because of the importance that the Committee places on supporting our troops and their war fighting requirements. MILITARY PERSONNEL Personnel Support.--The Committee strongly supports the members of our Armed Services and their families. In particular, the Committee notes that those now deployed in current military operations, as well as the members of our National Guard and Reserve who have been called to active duty, have been activated frequently and for extended periods of time since September 11th. The Committee urges the Secretary of Defense to identify those hardships experienced by service members and their families and propose remedies to address those hardships. The Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a report to the Congressional Oversight Committees, no later than July 1, 2003, on how the Department can better support our deployed service members and their families.

The recommendation is less than the request. The President requested $59,863,200,000 to be made available in the Defense Emergency Response Fund (DERF) to support Operation Iraqi Freedom and continuing operations in support of the Global War on Terrorism. The Committee supports fully the men and women fighting today and commends them for their efforts. In recognition that their task is critically important and essential, the Committee is recommending the full amount for this purpose, but has appropriated $48,844,200,000 of the DERF request to specific accounts in order to accelerate the distribution of these much needed funds to the Services. The Committee understands that the Defense Department's supplemental request for $63,381,500,000 reflects its best estimate for its expected needs. The Committee recognizes that DOD requires flexibility to manage the war effort because there are many unknowns in the conduct of combat operations and has provided the Department with $11,019,000,000 for this purpose. The Committee believes that this funding, in addition to expanded transfer authority, will provide the Department of Defense with the spending flexibility it needs to prosecute the war and provide the Services with the funds they need to carry out their duties. The Committee is pleased that the Department of Defense will submit quarterly reports on the transfer of funds from the DERF to specific appropriation accounts. This information is crucial to the Congress to fully understand the needs of the Department and the Services. GENERAL PROVISIONS, THIS CHAPTER Sec. 301.

The Committee provides the request for Egypt, including authorization for up to $2,000,000,000 in loan guarantees over a three year period. The Committee recognizes that Egypt remains a key partner in the war against international terrorism. The Committee notes with concern the recent crackdown on Egyptian demonstrators, including the reported use of torture by police officials, and requests that not later than 30 days after enactment of this Act, the Secretary of State submit a report to the Committees on Appropriations assessing Egypt's progress in meeting its obligations as a party to the Convention on Torture, and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment. The Committee provides the request for Turkey, including authorization for up to $8,500,000,000 in loan guarantees, and recognizes Turkey's contributions to the war against international terrorism, particularly in Afghanistan. The Committee remains concerned that Turkey may unilaterally deploy troops into northern Iraq during Operation Iraqi Freedom, and restricts assistance to Turkey should this happen. The Secretary of State is provided with a national security interest waiver. The Committee supports the request for Afghanistan for completion of infrastructure projects and contributions to the Afghan Government and multilateral political reform efforts. The Committee expects significant resources to be made available to support national elections in Afghanistan in 2004, and recommends USAID and State to utilize grants to nongovernmental organizations, in lieu of contracts to for- profit institutions, to support these polls. The Committee notes that the limitations and restrictions on assistance to the West Bank and Gaza contained in Public Law 108-7 apply to in this Act. The Committee expects that funds be used for ongoing programs and activities to foster political and legal reform. The Committee supports the Middle East Partnership Initiative (MEPI) and Muslim Outreach, and continues to encourage implementation of aggressive democracy, human rights, and media programs in that region and in other Muslim countries around the world. The Committee requests to be briefed prior to the obligation of funds for any enterprise fund. The Committee provides $700,000,000 for assistance for Jordan, and appreciates the continued contributions of this key ally in the war against international terrorism. The Committee expects USAID to be expeditiously reimbursed $40,000,000 under this heading for costs incurred for pre- conflict humanitarian and relief activities relating to Iraq, and requests to be informed once this reimbursement has occurred. The Committee provides $50,000,000 in Economic Support Fund assistance for the Philippines. The Committee intends these funds to be used to support economic development programs and activities designed to counter terrorism by encouraging members of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front to peacefully reintegrate into civil society. United States Emergency Fund for Complex Foreign Crises 2003 appropriation to date.............................................. 2003 supplemental estimate.............................. $150,000,000 Committee recommendation................................ 150,000,000 The Committee provides $150,000,000 for the United States Emergency Fund for Complex Foreign Crises. While the Committee understands the need for flexibility in meeting unforeseen complex foreign crises, it includes congressional notification for these funds, which may be waived if human health or welfare is at substantial risk. The Committee encourages the use of this Fund to meet unforeseen shortfalls in relief and reconstruction efforts in Iraq. The Committee does not intend to provide additional funds for this Fund in the fiscal year 2004 Foreign Operations, Export Financing, and Related Programs bill. INDEPENDENT AGENCIES DEPARTMENT OF STATE International Narcotics Control and Law Enforcement 2003 appropriation to date.............................. $195,720,000 2003 supplemental estimate.............................. 25,000,000 Committee recommendation................................ 25,000,000 The Committee provides $25,000,000 for an additional amount in International Narcotics Control and Law Enforcement assistance to enhance Pakistan's law enforcement and border security capacities to fight terrorism.

The Committee is concerned abut the large number of impoverished Colombians, particularly women and children, who have been displaced from their homes and are not receiving public assistance. Therefore, the Committee provides that not less than $5,000,000 should be made available for programs and activities to assist women and children who have been displaced as a result of armed conflict. The Committee intends to consider assistance for Colombia provided under this Act to partially offset the fiscal year 2004 request for assistance for Colombia. The Committee notes that the restrictions on assistance to the Andean Counterdrug Initiative contained in Public Law 108-7 apply to this Act. United States Emergency Refugee and Migration Assistance Fund 2003 appropriation to date.............................. $25,831,000 2003 supplemental estimate.............................. 50,000,000 Committee recommendation................................ 75,000,000 The Committee provides $75,000,000 for an additional amount for the United States Emergency Refugee and Migration Assistance Fund as a replenishment of funds drawn down for programs and activities relating to Iraq.

The Committee supports the request for Afghanistan, and supports the Afghan National Army Train and Equip Program. The Committee supports the request for Pakistan which will bolster counterterrorism capabilities. The Committee strongly supports the request for $30,000,000 for counterterrorism assistance for the Philippines. The Committee notes that restrictions on assistance for Colombia contained in Public Law 108-7 apply to this Act.

OTHER BILATERAL ECONOMIC ASSISTANCE Funds Appropriated to the President IRAQI RELIEF AND RECONSTRUCTION FUND (INCLUDING TRANSFERS OF FUNDS) 2003 appropriation to date.............................................. 2003 supplemental estimate.............................. $2,443,300,000 Committee recommendation................................ 2,468,300,000 The Committee provides $2,468,300,000 for the Iraq Relief and Reconstruction Fund for humanitarian assistance in and around Iraq and for rehabilitation and reconstruction in Iraq. The Committee expects that the transfer authority provided by this provision will not be used to transfer funds to the Department of Defense. Prior to the initial transfer of funds, the Secretary of State shall consult with the Committees on Appropriations on plans for the use of the funds appropriated under this heading. The Committee provides that funds appropriated under this heading shall be used to fully reimburse accounts administered by the Department of State, the Department of the Treasury, and the United States Agency for International Development for expenses relating to the pre-positioning of relief and reconstruction assistance for Iraq prior to the enactment of this Act. The Committee notes that the following accounts should be reimbursed from funds appropriated under this heading: $157,000,000 for ``Development Assistance''; $3,900,000 for ``Transition Initiatives''; and $100,000,000 for ``Economic Support Fund''. The Committee requests to be notified when reimbursements have been requested and fulfilled. The Committee notes that funds appropriated under this heading are subject to the regular notification procedures of the Committee on Appropriations, except that notifications shall be transmitted at least 5 days in advance of the obligation of funds. GENERAL PROVISIONS, THIS CHAPTER Sec. 501. The Committee includes transfer authority between certain accounts, and requests to be consulted before this authority is exercised. Sec. 502. The Committee provides the request for authority to provide assistance or other financing in this chapter for relief and reconstruction efforts in Iraq notwithstanding any other provision of law. Funds made available pursuant to this authority shall be subject to the regular notification procedures of the Committees on Appropriations, except that notification shall be transmitted at least 5 days in advance of the obligation of funds. Sec. 503. The Committee provides the request for the repeal of the Iraqi Sanctions Act of 1990, and other limitations on assistance for Iraq. Sec. 504. The Committee provides the request for the authority to export to Iraq any item subject to the Export Administration Regulations or controlled under the International Trafficking in Arms Regulations on the United States Munitions List, if the President determines that to do so in the national interests of the United States. The Committee requests the President, after consulting with all relevant departments and agencies, to report to the appropriate congressional committees on a semiannual basis on all Commerce and Control Munitions List items transferred to Iraq, and the person or entity to which each item has been transferred. The Committee requests that the first report be submitted to Congress no later than 90 days after enactment of this Act. Sec. 505. The Committee provides $10,000,000 in ``Economic Support Fund'' assistance for the establishment of a tribunal for the prosecution of Saddam Hussein and other Iraqi war criminals. Sec. 506. The Committee includes the Sense of Congress providing that, to the maximum extent practicable, contracts and grants for relief and reconstruction in Iraq should be awarded to United States companies and organizations, those located in the Near East region, and those from countries who have provided assistance to Operation Iraqi Freedom. The Committee believes that reconstruction efforts should include employment and other opportunities for the Iraqi people. Sec. 508. The Committee provides the Secretary of State with a national security interest waiver for certain restrictions on assistance for Ukraine contained in Public Law 108-7. CHAPTER 6 Subcommittee on Homeland Security DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY Departmental Management COUNTERTERRORISM FUND 2003 appropriation to date.............................. $9,935,000 2003 supplemental estimate.............................. 1,500,000,000 Committee recommendation................................ 1,135,000,000 The Committee provides an additional $1,135,000,000 to support expanded responsibilities of the Department of Homeland Security organizations and other authorized Federal Government activities in Federal agencies outside the Department during periods of heightened threat awareness resulting from the conflict with Iraq. This amount is $365,000,000 less than the supplemental request. The amount recommended includes an additional $215,000,000 of the amount requested by the President for the ``Emergency Response Fund'' under the Executive Office of the President, and a reduction of $580,000,000 from the supplemental request for the ``Counterterrorism Fund.'' The Committee has instead appropriated $580,000,000 directly to the Coast Guard to support additional operational costs associated with the activation of Coast Guard reservists and forces already deployed or in the process of being deployed to the operational theater, and increased protection of military outload and economically-critical U.S. ports. Due to the uncertainty of the full scope of agency requirements related to Operation Liberty Shield and needs resulting from the conflict in Iraq and the Middle East, flexibility is provided to the Secretary of Homeland Security, as requested, to allocate the $1,135,000,000 in supplemental appropriations provided for the Counterterrorism Fund to respective Department of Homeland Security agencies, including the Coast Guard. These additional funds are to be used only for activities above and beyond day-to-day operations, including costs associated with the management and administration of expanded State and local assistance programs. Not to exceed $215,000,000 of the total amount appropriated may be transferred to any authorized Federal Government activity outside the Department of Homeland Security to cover immediate or emerging terrorism-related prevention requirements, as determined by the Secretary of Homeland Security. Prior to the obligation of any funds, the Secretary of Homeland Security is required to submit a 15-day notice to the Committees on Appropriations of the House and Senate. The Committee expects this notice to be accompanied by a full and complete justification of the costs to be reimbursed by agency and account, including a detailed breakdown by program, project and activity. Current Department of Homeland Security estimates of agency 30-day requirements associated with immediate or emerging terrorism-related prevention and response activities are as follows: Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, $55,000,000 (overtime for investigations and detentions, air and marine interdiction, detention and removals, investigations, Federal Protective Service, operations and maintenance for the air program, and other related costs); Bureau of Customs and Border Protection, $65,000,000 (overtime, operations costs of assets, impact on user fee collections, and other logistics costs); Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services, $1,000,000 (international affairs, overtime for adjudication support, and naturalization for military personnel); Transportation Security Administration, $120,000,000 (overtime for passenger screeners, operations costs of assets, supply/logistics costs, contract hiring/ service/training, and State and local (National Guard) expenses); Federal Law Enforcement Training Requirements, $1,000,000 (emergency training requirements); U.S. Secret Service, $10,000,000 (additional personnel costs, security upgrades, equipment and replacement purchases); Emergency Preparedness and Response, $15,000,000 (emergency support teams and regional operations centers); and Infrastructure Analysis and Infrastructure Protection, $10,000,000 (protection of critical assets). Border and Transportation Security OFFICE FOR DOMESTIC PREPAREDNESS 2003 appropriation to date.............................. $993,500,000 2003 supplemental estimate.............................. 2,000,000,000 Committee recommendation................................ 2,000,000,000 The Committee provides an additional $2,000,000,000, as requested, to continue to enhance and strengthen America's first responder community. Included in this amount is $1,420,000,000 for grants to States for protection and preparedness activities; $30,000,000 for direct technical assistance to States; $450,000,000 for grants to augment security at critical infrastructure facilities; and $100,000,000 for protection or preparedness needs of high- threat urban areas. The additional $1,420,000,000 made available for grants to States to further augment State and local protection and preparedness activities is to be allocated by formula to States for the acquisition of equipment, training, exercises, and planning. Language is included in the bill to require that at least 80 percent of these funds are allocated to local governments within 60 days of the grant award. An additional $30,000,000 is made available to enable the Office for Domestic Preparedness to provide technical assistance to States for a variety of activities, as needed, including support for plan development, implementation of exercises, and assistance with interoperable communications and equipment. The $450,000,000 provided for grants to States to augment security at critical infrastructure facilities is to be made available to reimburse State and local governments for personnel overtime, deployment of the National Guard, and contract staff used to supply security to meet heightened protection requirements. These funds are to be allocated by formula to States. Language is included in the bill to require that no less than one-third of each grant be allocated to local governments within 60 days of award. The Committee expects the Department of Homeland Security to work closely with governors to ensure proper security for the most sensitive sites, and to develop and approve State and local site protection plans to enable funds to be released expeditiously. The Department is expected to provide bi-weekly reports on the status of State application submissions for all available funds provided for programs of the Office for Domestic Preparedness. The Committee recognizes that certain densely-populated urban areas may be particular targets of terrorists. Supplemental funding of $100,000,000 is made available to meet the protection or preparedness needs of these high-threat urban areas, as determined by the Secretary of Homeland Security. The Committee directs that, not later than 60 days after the date of enactment of this Act, the Director of the Office for Domestic Preparedness in the Department of Homeland Security shall submit to the Committees on Appropriations of the Senate and the House of Representatives a report on the distribution of Federal financial assistance to, and within, States in support of first responders to threats or acts of terrorism. The report shall include a detailed discussion of the relationship between the distribution of funds and the assessed threats, vulnerabilities, and risks. The Committee further directs the Secretary of Homeland Security to work with the national intelligence community (including the Central Intelligence Agency, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Defense Intelligence Agency and others), as well as State and local law enforcement agencies, to evaluate threat levels and estimate the risk of terrorist attack at the local level to high threat urban areas. This assessment should take into consideration risk factors such as dense population or areas which may be particular targets for terrorists such as airports, seaports, symbolic targets (including monuments, historic sites and other landmarks), and a history of terrorist attack. The Committee further directs the Secretary of Homeland Security to report to the Committee on these findings within 60 days of enactment of this Act. In addition, the Committee directs the Secretary to (1) determine the cost of securing each locality; (2) evaluate of how much of such costs should be borne by the Federal Government; (3) identify other entities, if any, who should share in those costs and to what extent; and (4) propose a formula for distributing these funds based upon these findings. Coast Guard OPERATING EXPENSES 2003 appropriation to date.............................. $4,294,028,000 2003 supplemental estimate.............................. ( \1\ ) Committee recommendation................................ 580,000,000 \1\ Included in 2003 supplemental estimate for the Counterterrorism Fund. The Committee provides an additional $580,000,000 in supplemental appropriations for Coast Guard Operating Expenses in support of Department of Defense initiatives in relation to Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Liberty Shield. Current estimates associated with the activation of Coast Guard forces deployed to or in the process of being deployed to the operational theater initially developed in response to Operation Iraqi Freedom are as follows: pay and personnel support costs (regular and special pays, messing, per diem, medical costs, issued personnel gear and personnel support costs at the field command and reserve mobilization costs), for deployed forces, $62,000,000, and for military outload security, $163,000,000; operational tempo and mission costs (fuel, consumable parts, facilities and base support, force protection, command and control costs), for deployed forces, $69,000,000, and for military outload security, $54,000,000; and transportation, reconstitution, and recapitalization costs (sealift, airlift, recapitalization of non-standard boats and consumed inventories and depot repair of deployed cutters), for deployed forces, $49,000,000, and for military outload, $3,000,000. Coast Guard requirements developed in response to Operation Liberty Shield for strategic economic ports: pay and personnel support costs, $150,000,000; operational tempo and mission costs, $25,000,000; and transportation, reconstitution and recapitalization costs, $5,000,000. CHAPTER 7 Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education, and Related Agencies DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES Office of the Secretary PUBLIC HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICES EMERGENCY FUND The Committee recommendation includes $35,000,000 for costs associated with compensating individuals with injuries resulting from smallpox vaccinations and countermeasures. Funds are available only upon enactment of legislation authorizing a smallpox vaccination compensation program. General Provision REPATRIATION The Committee recommendation includes bill language requested by the Administration to eliminate the $1,000,000 cap in fiscal year 2003 on funds available for the Department of Health and Human Services to provide assistance to ill or destitute U.S. citizens who have returned from foreign countries due to war, threat of war, invasion, or similar crisis. CHAPTER 8 Subcommittee on the Legislative Branch LEGISLATIVE BRANCH JOINT ITEMS Legislative Branch Emergency Response Fund 2003 appropriation to date.............................................. 2003 supplemental estimate.............................. $125,000,000 Committee recommendation................................................ The Committee notes that the Office of Management and Budget submitted a request of $125,000,000 for the Legislative Branch Emergency Response Fund. However, legislative branch agencies submitted individual requests totaling $130,800,000, excluding amounts requested by the House of Representatives. The Committee is concerned that OMB has violated normal protocols dictated by the separation of powers between the two branches of government by not including in the supplemental request precisely that which was requested by the Legislative Branch. The Committee has recommended funds directly to the individual agencies which submitted requests, rather than a lump sum appropriation as submitted by OMB. CAPITOL POLICE General Expenses 2003 appropriation to date.............................. $174,533,000 2003 supplemental estimate.............................................. Committee recommendation................................ 38,165,000 The Committee recommends $38,165,000 for Capitol Police general expenses for additional measures needed for security of the Capitol Complex. The Committee expects to approve the specific allocation of these funds. The Committee recognizes there may be a need for additional resources for the dignitary protection division upon completion of a new policy for protective details and expects to work with the agency if resources are needed this year. OFFICE OF COMPLIANCE Salaries and Expenses 2003 appropriation to date.............................. $2,046,000 2003 supplemental estimate.............................................. Committee recommendation................................ 111,000 The Committee recommends $111,000 for the Office of Compliance, as requested by the Office. These funds are needed for hearings and mediation services mandated under sections 403 and 405 of the Congressional Accountability Act. The Office has experienced a significantly larger number of hearings than had been anticipated. ARCHITECT OF THE CAPITOL General Administration 2003 appropriation to date.............................. $58,597,000 2003 supplemental estimate.............................................. Committee recommendation................................ 18,672,000 The Committee recommends $18,672,000 for the general administration account for critical life safety improvements. Capitol Building 2003 appropriation to date.............................. $31,885,000 2003 supplemental estimate.............................................. Committee recommendation................................ 1,100,000 The Committee recommends $1,100,000 for the Capitol building appropriation in order to meet life safety standards for egress. Capitol Power Plant 2003 appropriation to date.............................. $101,621,000 2003 supplemental estimate.............................................. Committee recommendation................................ 14,600,000 The Committee recommends $14,600,000 for the Capitol Power Plant. These funds are needed to mitigate a major environmental and health hazard by replacing the current aged high voltage switchgear transformers, install oil storage tanks and a distributed control system. Capitol Police Buildings and Grounds 2003 appropriation to date.............................. $23,745,000 2003 supplemental estimate.............................................. Committee recommendation................................ 40,140,000 The Committee recommends $40,140,000 for Capitol Police buildings and grounds. These funds are needed to purchase property, lease interim facilities to meet the USCP's growing space requirements, construction of a tactical training facility, and other urgently needed facility requirements. LIBRARY OF CONGRESS Salaries and Expenses 2003 appropriation to date.............................. $349,338,000 2003 supplemental estimate.............................................. Committee recommendation................................ 5,500,000 The Committee recommends $5,500,000 for the purchase and installation of a public address system to support emergency management planning. Congressional Research Service SALARIES AND EXPENSES 2003 appropriation to date.............................. $86,387,000 2003 supplemental estimate.............................................. Committee recommendation................................ 1,863,000 The Committee recommends $1,863,000 for the Congressional Research Service for mirroring of mission-critical on-line data. GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE Salaries and Expenses 2003 appropriation to date.............................. $451,202,000 2003 supplemental estimate.............................................. Committee recommendation................................ 4,849,000 The Committee recommends $4,849,000 for the General Accounting Office. These funds are needed for the security of GAO facilities and information systems. CHAPTER 9 Subcommittee on Military Construction DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE Military Construction, Navy 2003 appropriation to date.............................. $1,303,788,000 2003 supplemental estimate.............................. 48,100,000 Committee recommendation................................ 48,100,000 The Committee recommends an additional $48,100,000 for Military Construction, Navy, to provide facilities and infrastructure to carry out detainee operations for the initial phase of the long-term detention mission at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The Committee notes that with these additional funds, over $104,000,000 in military construction will have been expended for detainee facilities at Guantanamo Bay since February, 2002. Included in these expenses are at least three generations of housing facilities for personnel assigned to detainee operations at Guantanamo--``SEA Huts'', improved ``SEA Huts'' and durable metal troop housing. While the Committee is supportive of the detainee mission at Guantanamo, it wishes to minimize repetitive construction of perishable temporary facilities. The Committee directs the Department to complete a comprehensive facilities master plan for Guantanamo and to provide copies of that plan to the congressional defense committees by September 30, 2003. Military Construction, Air Force 2003 appropriation to date.............................. $1,048,366,000 2003 supplemental estimate.............................. 129,400,000 Committee recommendation................................ 127,400,000 The Committee recommends an additional $127,400,000 for Military Construction, Air Force, to be used as follows: Millennium Village Construction......................... $85,100,000 Explosive Ordnance Pad Construction, Diego Garcia....... 3,200,000 Planning and Design..................................... 1,800,000 Andersen AFB Hangar Construction........................ 35,500,000 Andersen AFB Hangar Planning and Design................. 1,800,000 The supplemental appropriation request included $25,000,000 for construction of a parallel taxiway at a classified location. However, the Committee understands that this project is already under construction using operations and maintenance funds; therefore additional appropriation is unnecessary. The request also included $11,000,000 for construction of a C-130 aircraft parking apron at a classified location but the Committee understands that the requirement for this facility no longer exists because of mission changes. For these reasons funding is not provided for either of these projects or for the planning and design to support them. The Committee notes that an urgent need exists to repair damage to facilities at Andersen Air Force Base caused by Typhoon Ponsonga, which struck Guam on December 8-9, 2002. Andersen Air Force Base represents an important strategic capability for the United States as a key staging location for operations into East Asia and as a crucial part of the air bridge to Southwest Asia. Typhoon Ponsonga caused significant damage to three of the base's four aircraft hangars, eliminating the base's ability to conduct climate controlled aircraft maintenance. $35,700,000 is provided for construction of a new aircraft maintenance hangar, and $1,800,000 is provided for planning and design for this project. Family Housing Operation and Maintenance, Air Force 2003 appropriation to date.............................. $863,050,000 2003 supplemental estimate.............................................. Committee recommendation................................ 2,000,000 The Committee recommends an additional $2,000,000 for Family Housing Operation and Maintenance, Air Force, to repair family housing units at Andersen Air Force Base, Guam, which were damaged by Typhoon Ponsonga. GENERAL PROVISION, THIS CHAPTER Sec. 901. The Committee recommendation modifies a provision proposed by the administration which provides the Secretary of Defense with additional authority for military construction expenses associated with the war on terror and military operations in Iraq. CHAPTER 10 Subcommittee on Transportation, Treasury and General Government DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Maritime Administration MARITIME GUARANTEED LOAN (TITLE XI) PROGRAM ACCOUNT 2003 appropriation to date.............................. $4,126,000 2003 supplemental estimate.............................................. Committee recommendation................................ 50,000,000 The Committee recommends an appropriation of $50,000,000 for the Maritime Guaranteed Loan Program (title XI). The title XI program provides subsidies for guaranteed loans for purchasers of vessels built in U.S. shipyards and includes the guarantee for facilities or equipment pertaining to marine operations related to any of those vessels. The Committee is aware that the program is critical for those who transport military equipment and supplies to deployed military forces during time of war. There is currently only $1,000,000 available for pending and new loan guarantees, and many future maritime projects, including those that will be used for military sealift, are in jeopardy without additional resources. TITLE II--MISCELLANEOUS AND TECHNICAL CORRECTIONS CHAPTER 1 Subcommittee on Agriculture, Rural Development, and Related Agencies GENERAL PROVISIONS The following provision is a technical correction. The Committee recommendation permits a recently appointed U.S. Department of Agriculture Task Force to evaluate the merits of establishing National Institutes at USDA for the purposes of improving research activities critical to food and agricultural science. The following provision is a technical correction. The Committee recommendation supplies an effective date for ginseng labeling. The following provision is a technical correction. The Committee recommendation clarifies the intent of the original provision to provide payments for crop losses, livestock losses, and related expenses resulting from flooding following the application of a pesticide for brush control. The Committee recommendation includes a provision which makes a change to the definition of a producer handler and requires the Secretary of Agriculture to report on the sale of class 1 milk products into California. The provision also makes a technical change in regard to Federal milk marketing orders in Clark County, Nevada. CHAPTER 2 Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice, and State, the Judiciary, and Related Agencies DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration PROCUREMENT, ACQUISITION AND CONSTRUCTION 2003 appropriation to date.............................. $754,096,000 2003 supplemental estimate.............................................. Committee recommendation................................ 106,060,000 The Committee recommends $106,060,000 for procurement, acquisition and construction. The recommendation is $106,060,000 above the request. The Polar-orbiting Operational Environmental Satellite [POES], National Polar-orbiting Operational Environmental Satellite System [NPOESS], and Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite [GOES] programs are designed to provide the U.S. Government with continuous satellite coverage necessary for weather forecasting and disaster planning and response. In 1994, as a cost savings effort, the civil and military polar-orbiting systems were integrated into a single, national system satisfying both civil and national security needs. In order to ensure that the United States would never be dependent on a foreign government for its weather satellite data, the programs were designed to include a spare that could be launched or activated immediately should a system failure occur. Since the fiscal year 2003 omnibus appropriations conference, the Committee has learned that it was misinformed regarding the funding requirements for the POES, NPOESS, and GOES programs. The fiscal year 2003 President's budget request for POES and NPOESS included an anomaly. As noted above, satellite purchases are phased to ensure that a ``hot'' spare is available should a catastrophic launch failure occur. The request introduced a 12-month gap between the second to last POES launch and the availability of a spare and a 19-month gap between the last launch of POES and the availability of a NPOESS spare. Current funding levels exacerbate these gaps. Regarding GOES, NOAA typically options satellite ``buses'' and launch vehicles at the same time. The current funding level will force NOAA to split the optioning of the next satellite. The bus will be paid for with fiscal year 2003 funds and the launch vehicle with fiscal year 2004 funds. The level of risk and additional costs associated with the gaps and the severing of launch vehicle from bus are not acceptable. Therefore, the Committee recommendation provides $14,600,000 for POES and $48,000,000 for NPOESS to reduce to the greatest degree possible the gaps and $41,000,000 for GOES to remarry the procurement. The National Environmental Satellite, Data and Information Service is directed to provide to the Committees on Appropriations a ``cure plan'' for these three programs not later than June 1, 2003. RELATED AGENCIES Equal Employment Opportunity Commission SALARIES AND EXPENSES 2003 appropriation to date.............................. $306,815,000 2003 supplemental estimate.............................................. Committee recommendation................................ 23,300,000 The Committee recommends $23,300,000 for the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission [EEOC]. The recommendation is $23,300,000 above the supplemental budget request. The recommendation is necessary to avert a fiscal crisis that will result in the furlough of 100 percent of the workforce for an extended period of time. The Committee understands this fiscal crisis resulted from a myriad of factors, most significantly past hiring practices that resulted in a tremendous surge in staff salaries and benefits and increased GSA rent requirements. Upon assumption of duties, the present Chair immediately instituted a hiring freeze but lacks the resources to induce sufficient numbers of employees to apply for early retirement. The Commission took further corrective action by contracting with the National Academy of Public Administration [NAPA] to assess personnel structure and other workforce issues. The NAPA study recommended a 5-year plan to more efficiently align the Commission and avoid financial crises in the future. The immediate requirement to merely stabilize the Commission and prevent a furlough or Anti-Deficiency Act violation is $18,300,000. However, this funding level will not correct the root problem, only delay it. Implementation of the NAPA plan is the only sure way to correct the fiscal problem. Therefore, the Committee recommends $5,000,000 for the first installment of the restructure plan. This will allow the agency to establish a national call center and provide technology required to more fully support telework and remote access requirements, as well as support major staffing adjustments. Immediate stabilization and a major personnel restructure are critical to the agency's future. The EEOC has presented this Committee with a business case analysis to support this request that will not only stabilize the Commission but begin a realistic and cost-effective restructure plan. National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States SALARIES AND EXPENSES 2003 appropriation to date.............................. $3,000,000 2003 supplemental estimate.............................................. Committee recommendation................................ 11,000,000 The Committee recommends $11,000,000 for the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States. The Committee recommendation is $11,000,000 above the request. The amount provided is intended to cover all costs through the life of the Commission. The report of the Commission is due May 2004. CHAPTER 3 Subcommittee on District of Columbia DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA The Committee recommends a number of changes to the District of Columbia's local budget, as requested by the Mayor and approved by City Council. These changes are necessitated by a projected budget shortfall of $133,600,000. The Committee is not recommending any additional Federal funds for the District of Columbia. Governmental Direction and Support The Committee recommends a rescission of $9,358,000 in local funds for governmental direction and support for savings associated with the reduction in risk management functions within the agency, savings associated with a District-wide hiring freeze, and the reduction of telecommunications costs and contractual savings. Economic Development and Regulation The Committee recommends an increase of $14,998,000 in local funds for economic development and support for increased costs associated with the following: the Summer Youth Program, the Home Purchasing Assistance Program, and the Relocation Program. Public Safety and Justice The Committee recommends an increase of $10,422,000 in local funds for public safety and justice, including funds for overtime costs and new recruiting costs for the Metropolitan Police Department, and overtime costs for the Department of Corrections and the Fire and Emergency Medical Services. Public Education System The Committee recommends several changes in the allocation of local funds for the public education system. These include an increase of $2,029,000 for the District of Columbia Public Schools for school operations, a rescission of $12,000,000 for District of Columbia Charter Schools due to lower than anticipated student enrollment, however, the Committee intends that not less than $3,000,000 of these funds are to be used to provide adequate charter school facitlities and educational programs for charter schools. The Committee also recommends a rescission of $1,040,000 for the University of the District of Columbia due to savings achieved by a District-wide hiring freeze, a rescission of $273,000 for the District of Columbia Public Libraries due to cuts made in its share of the Arts project program, and a rescission of $255,000 for the Commission on the Arts and Humanities due to a cut in its share of the Arts project program. Human Support Services The Committee recommends several changes to the allocation of local funds for Human Support Services. These include an increase for the Department of Health to cover medical claims exceeding budgeted costs, and to cover higher Medicaid utilization and managed care costs. These also include an increase to the Department of Human Services to cover court order costs associated with the Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities Agency, as well as an increase for the Children and Family Services Agency to cover costs associated with unbudgeted out-of-state tuition costs for foster care student. Public Works The Committee recommends several changes to the allocation of local funds for Public Works. These include increases for the recycling program, and for the District's inspection station program. The Committee is recommending several rescissions attributable to hiring freezes and freezing pay increases. Repayment of Loans and Interest The Committee recommends a rescission of $2,466,000 from local funds due to the lower debt service obligations based on improved market rates and delays in borrowing. Workforce Investments The Committee recommends a rescission of $2,000,000 from local funds in Workforce Investments due to the suspension of non-union pay increases. GENERAL PROVISIONS, THIS CHAPTER Sec. 3001. The Committee has included bill language to allow the District to authorize transfers of an amount not to exceed $32,900,000 from funds identified in the fiscal year 2002 comprehensive annual financial report from the fund balance to the local general fund. This transfer will allow the District to address revenue shortfalls due to the economic downturn, but it will not affect the District's emergency or contingency reserves. Sec. 3002. The Committee has included bill language that extends the authority which the Chief Financial Officer of the District of Columbia can exercise with respect to personnel, procurement, and the preparation of fiscal impact statements during a control period through September 30, 2004.

Committee recommendation................................ 9,000,000 The Committee recommendation provides a correct amount for operation of the national park system in Public Law 108-7 to reflect the conference agreement. Bureau of Indian Affairs CONSTRUCTION In accordance with the administration's request, the Fiscal Year 2002 Interior and Related Agencies Appropriations Act (Public Law 107-63) provided funding for the construction of a K-12 Ojibwa Indian school. Since that time, the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians and the Bureau of Indian Affairs have agreed that the replacement school should be sized for 553 students. Based on this agreement, the Committee believes that the remaining planning, design, and actual construction can now be accomplished for approximately $26,700,000, or less. Bill language has therefore been included directing that funds for this project be made available for obligation within 30 days of enactment of this Act.
