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

Military Personnel Overview
The Department of Defense budget requests $105,403,698,000
for the military personnel pay accounts for fiscal year 2008;
an increase of $5,540,821,000 or 5.5 percent over the current
enacted amount of $99,862,877,000 excluding supplemental
appropriations. Significant features of the budget request
include the following:
Active Component End Strength.--The Committee supports the
Active Component end strength levels as recommended in S. 1547,
the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008.
For the Army, this includes an end strength increase of 13,000
above the fiscal year 2007 authorized level and 36,000 above
the President's request for a total end strength of 525,400.
For the Marine Corps, this includes an end strength increase of
9,000 above the fiscal year 2007 authorized level and the
President's request for a total end strength of 189,000. These
increases support Defense Department plans to grow Army and
Marine Corps forces to better sustain operational tempo and
relieve strain on current units. The Committee also supports
Navy and Air Force requested end strength reductions of 12,300
for the Navy for a total end strength of 328,400 and 5,600 for
the Air Force for a total end strength of 328,600.
Reserve and Guard End Strength.--The Committee supports the
Selected Reserve end strength levels as requested in the
President's budget and as recommended by S. 1547, the National
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008. For the Army
Reserve, this includes an end strength increase of 5,000 above
the fiscal year 2007 authorized level for a total end strength
of 205,000. For the Army Guard, this includes an end strength
increase of 1,300 above the fiscal year 2007 authorized level
for a total end strength of 351,300. These increases support
Department of Defense plans to grow Army Reserve and Army Guard
forces in an effort to reduce the frequency of mobilizations
for reserve personnel. Consistent with active duty Navy and Air
Force manpower reductions, the budget requests 3,500 fewer
reservists for the Navy Reserve, 7,400 fewer reservists for the
Air Force Reserve, and an end strength reduction of 300 for the
Air National Guard. The Committee supports these adjustments.
Pay Raise.--The Committee has included funding to support a
3.5 percent increase in basic pay effective January 1, 2008 for
all military personnel. This increase is consistent with S.
1547, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year
2008, and is 0.5 percent above the budget request.
Recruiting and Retention.--The Committee is aware of the
challenges faced by the services in recruiting and retaining
quality personnel and is pleased that many services have
improved recruiting efforts and continue to meet retention
goals. However, some components have significant recruiting and
retention challenges ahead due largely to the Army and Marine
Corps initiatives to increase their end strength.
In addition to proposed end strength increases, the Army
has a significant shortage of mid-level officers and must
continue to retain mid-level enlisted personnel under strain
from the high operational tempo. These soldiers, with years of
experience, play a vital role in the daily operations of the
Army at home and in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Committee urges
the Army to continue to focus on mid-level officer and enlisted
retention.
Despite recent improved recruiting efforts, the Army
Reserve continues to fall short of its annual recruiting goals
and will finish fiscal year 2007 significantly under the
authorized end strength level. While the Committee is hopeful
that recently implemented recruiting initiatives will continue
to improve the Army Reserve's recruiting efforts, the Committee
urges the active duty Army and Army Reserve to reassess the
efficacy of the unified recruiting command in fulfilling the
recruiting needs of the Army Reserve.
In recent years, the Navy Reserve has also fallen short of
its recruiting and retention goals, but additional funding
redirected to these efforts is helping the Navy Reserve fulfill
its recruiting and retention mission. The Committee notes with
concern that the fiscal year 2008 budget request funds
recruiting and retention programs at significantly lower levels
than are being spent in fiscal year 2007. Therefore, to
continue the Navy Reserve's recruiting and retention gains, the
Committee has realigned funding within the Navy Reserve account
to focus on recruiting and retention efforts.
Reserve Component Budget Structure.--In fiscal year 2007,
Congress extended testing of a consolidated budget structure
for the reserve component's military personnel accounts. The
Committee recognizes the advantages of the single budget
activity format in providing additional spending flexibility to
the reserve components. This flexibility is particularly
helpful in allowing the reserve components to respond to
evolving mobilization and training needs resulting from
operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. Therefore, the Committee
supports continuing the consolidated budget structure test for
an additional year, with the understanding that the Department
will submit a semi-annual detailed report of internal
reprogramming action similar to the report provided in fiscal
years 2006 and 2007, and that the reserve components will keep
the congressional defense committees apprised of any
significant financial issues that may develop between reports.
Reports shall be submitted 30 days following the end of the
second quarter and the fiscal year.
The Committee notes, however, that since the creation of
the consolidated budget structure, significant internal
realignments have occurred within the reserve components'
personnel accounts. The Committee urges the reserve components
to submit future year budgets that are more closely aligned
with recent spending patterns. For fiscal year 2008, the
Committee has shifted funding from activities where requested
funding was significantly above recent spending levels to other
activities within the same account where additional funding
needs were identified.
Families First.--The Committee is supportive of the
Families First initiative, a program intended to improve the
quality of service provided to military personnel and their
families during permanent change of station moves. However, the
Department of Defense has not provided the services with
adequate guidance on how to budget for the increased moving
costs resulting from the fiscal year 2008 implementation of
Families First. The Committee directs the Secretary of Defense
to work with the services to provide more detailed guidance on
the costs associated with Families First and to submit a report
to the congressional defense committees detailing the projected
annual costs, by service and appropriations account, of
implementing Families First in fiscal year 2008 and through the
Future Years Defense Plan [FYDP]. The report shall also specify
which portions of the Permanent Change of Station budget
activity are likely to experience cost increases due to
implementation of the initiative. This report shall be
submitted by February 15, 2008.
Authorized End Strength.--A Government Accountability
Office [GAO] comparison of current personnel strength
projections versus those included in the fiscal year 2008
budget request indicates that the active duty Navy and Army
Reserve should have fewer service members in fiscal year 2008
than budgeted. Since less funding is required in these
accounts, the Committee recommends a reduction of $23,761,000
for Military Personnel, Navy and $60,170,000 for Reserve
Personnel, Army.
Unobligated Balances.--While the services have made
significant progress in reducing the percentage of unobligated
funds remaining within their military personnel accounts, a GAO
analysis of past year obligation rates continues to show a
trend of underexecution for some components. Therefore, the
Committee has determined that some active duty and reserve
components' fiscal year 2008 military personnel budget requests
are overstated and can be reduced. Thus, the Committee
recommends a reduction of $90,300,000 to the military personnel

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OVERVIEW
Support to Combatant Commanders.--The fiscal year 2008
operation and maintenance budget request includes program
growth of almost 30 percent over fiscal year 2007 for support
to combatant commanders. Since funding is distributed among all
services and multiple budget lines, it is difficult to track
program increases and decreases for each of the combatant
commanders from year to year. In order to increase the
visibility of this funding, the Committee directs the Services
to provide greater detail supporting combatant commander
funding requests on the reconciliation of increases and
decreases on the OP-5 budget exhibit.
Pay Raise.--The Committee has included funding to support a
3.5 percent increase in basic pay effective January 1, 2008 for
all civilian personnel. This increase is consistent with S.
1547, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year
2008, and is 0.5 percent above the budget request.
Government Accountability Office Study of A-76
Competitions.--It has been brought to the Committee's attention
that government civilians may be unfairly disadvantaged in A-76
outsourcing competitions by including the cost of their
retirement in comparison to that of the private sector
competitors. The Committee requests that the Government
Accountability Office produce a report reviewing recent A-76
competitions, provide an assessment of whether or not this bias
exists, and whether or not it has been a key factor in
determining the outcome of the competition. This report should
be submitted to the congressional defense committees not later
than March 15, 2008.

Unjustified Growth in Budget Activity 4.--The Army
internally realigned over $1,600,000,000 of operation and
maintenance funding in fiscal year 2007 into Base Operating
Support by reducing funding in almost every other budget line
in the appropriation. Since it considered the reductions as
one-time costs, the budget lines that took reductions in fiscal
year 2007 have major increases in fiscal year 2008 in order to
restore the baseline in each account. Funding for Budget
Activity 4, Administration and Service-wide Activities, was
reduced by 6 percent in realignments to Base Operating Support
in fiscal year 2007 but then received a 23 percent increase in
fiscal year 2008. The Committee believes the fiscal year 2008
increase is in excess to the Army's baseline needs and
recommends a reduction of $236,059,000.

Non-Depot/Intermediate Level Maintenance.--The Navy budget
request includes program growth of over $70,000,000 for Non-
Depot/Intermediate Level Maintenance between fiscal year 2007
and fiscal year 2008. Considering that the number of homeported
ships maintained decreases by eight in the same time period,
the Committee recommends a reduction of $50,000,000 to this
line item. This reduction is directed to be taken only from
those Regional Maintenance Centers that have projected program
growth in fiscal year 2008.
Surveillance Towed Array Sensor System [SURTASS].--The
Committee is concerned about the risks associated with the
schedule proposed by the Navy to retire the R/V CORY CHOUEST in
favor of a newly retrofitted Compact Low Frequency Array [CLFA]
support vessel. Accordingly, the Committee urges the Navy to
take the necessary steps to assure continuation of R/V CORY
CHOUEST operations in the event the alternative ship cannot be
turned over for Fleet operations as scheduled.
Naval Shipyard Apprentice Program.--The Committee directs
that during fiscal year 2008 the Navy shall induct classes of
no fewer than 100 apprentices, respectively, at each of the
naval shipyards. The Committee further directs the Navy to
include the costs of the fiscal year 2009 class of apprentices
in its budget request.

amount provided is in addition to $1,700,000 currently budgeted
for the program. The Committee commends the Navy for providing
funding for this program in the baseline budget and directs
that no less than $2,000,000 be made available for the U.S.
Naval Sea Cadet Corps in fiscal year 2008. The Committee
further encourages the Navy to fund the program at not less
than $2,000,000 in future budget submissions.

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

Global Train and Equip Program.--The Committee has provided
$300,000,000 for the Global Train and Equip Program under the
Defense Security Cooperation Agency. The Committee understands
that this limited authority was designed as a pilot project to
enhance our ongoing programs to train and equip allied nations'
counterterrorism efforts. The Committee notes that the
Department of State normally is tasked to perform this critical
function, but that the Department of Defense requested the
ability to augment these efforts due to the global war on
terror. The Committee is strongly in favor of increasing our
counterterrorism efforts around the globe but believes the
responsibility to train and equip foreign military forces
should rest with the Department of State. The Committee
reluctantly supports the Defense Department's request during
fiscal year 2008, and firmly believes that the Administration
should request funds for this purpose in the Department of
State's budget when this authority expires at the end of fiscal
year 2008.
Legacy Resource Management Program.--The Committee
encourages the Department to allocate sufficient funds for
naval archeology programs in the Lake Champlain Basin. The
Committee also encourages these Lake Champlain activities to
expand to complete an underwater survey of the lake, as well as
the development of a management protocol for French and British
military vessels resting at the bottom of Lake Champlain.
National Job Corps Association.--The Committee encourages
the Department of Defense to work in collaboration with the
operators of the Job Corps centers that offer military
preparation programs to provide curriculum input and
modifications. The Department is also encouraged to work with
the Office of Job Corps to develop an evaluation tool to
measure success in existing military preparation courses.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on a careful review of the Department's budget
request, the Committee has recommended funding adjustments,
shown in tables for each appropriation account.
The Committee recognizes that the demands of growing the
military forces, equipping a modular Army structure, sustaining
training and resetting units returning from operations in Iraq
and Afghanistan have increased the need for new and modern
equipment. In fiscal year 2008, the equipment requirements tied
directly to continuing combat operations overseas will be
considered in separate legislation. Whether maintaining the
peacetime force or supporting operations overseas, the
Committee expects the budgets to conform to such common sense
rules as budgeting to the most likely cost of the program and
not requesting funds ahead of need. Some of the adjustments
recommended by the Committee bring the budget into compliance
with those fundamental guidelines. Other adjustments include
adding funds to reflect congressional priorities, correcting
shortfalls, and implementing the recommendations in S. 1547,
the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008.
The Committee directs that the funding increases outlined
in these tables shall be provided only for the specific
purposes indicated in the table.
Procurement Overview
National Guard Procurement.--The Committee is concerned
that procurement funding and equipment designated for the
National Guard could be diverted to other budget areas and non-
National Guard units. The Committee notes that substantial
shortfalls still exist in National Guard equipment stocks,
threatening the force's dual-role mission to supplement active
duty forces abroad and respond to emergencies at home.
Therefore, the Department of Defense shall report to the
Committee no later than 9 months after the passage of this Act
on how it has obligated funds and provided equipment designated
for the National Guard in the budget and accompanying
justification materials.
Military Tires.--Following the direction in the Base
Realignment and Closure Act of 2005, the Department of Defense
has implemented the Tire Commodity Management Privatization
Initiative. This program moved responsibility for the supply,
storage and distribution for all tires used by the Department
of Defense from the Defense Logistics Agency to a contractor.
This contractor is in charge of procuring and distributing all
ground and air military tires worldwide for the Department of
Defense and the individual services. The Committee is concerned
that the Department ensures that the military tire market
remains a fair and competitive marketplace.
The Committee is pleased that the Department of Defense has
taken steps to dramatically lower costs and streamline the
process of getting tires to the warfighter. However, it is the
Committee's firm belief that the Department should administer
these contracts in a manner that maintains the U.S. industrial
base for military tire manufacturing and future innovation as
well as to preserve competitive procurement for current and
future requirements for the Department. There is concern that
the contractor acting as the inventory control point may be
placed in an advantageous position in competition for the
Department's tire contracts.
To alleviate those concerns, the Defense Logistics Agency
shall ensure that all tire manufacturers are on an equal
footing in the competitive market with respect to information
on tire demand and that, to the extent practicable under the
existing contracts, new tire types are subject to fair and
equal competition among qualified manufacturers. This
responsibility includes: ensuring that all tire manufacturers
have equal information about the Government's needs for
existing tire types; requiring that, to the extent practicable
under the existing contracts, new tire contracts are awarded
through fair and equal opportunity competitions among qualified
manufacturers; and lastly monitoring the contracts in an open
and transparent way to all manufacturers so that the existing
contract minimum share guarantees designed to protect the
industrial base are enforced.

Armed Reconnaissance Helicopter [ARH].--The budget request
includes $468,259,000 for procurement of 26 Armed
Reconnaissance Helicopters. The Committee recognizes the need
to replace the aging and battle-worn Kiowa Warrior fleet, and
supports the Army's efforts to work with the contractor to
correct the problems with the ARH program. The Committee
supports the Army's request to transfer funds to additional ARH
research and development and the sustainment of the Kiowa
Warrior. However, there still remain significant risks in this
schedule-driven program despite its restructure. For example,
the Committee was notified on September 11, 2007, of a Nunn-
McCurdy breach due to an increase of 20.3 percent in the
Program Acquisition Unit Cost and an increase of 18.5 percent
in the Average Procurement Unit Cost. Due to cost and schedule
growth and the continuing program risks, the Committee
recommends $242,259,000 for procurement of ARH. The recommended
level would provide funds for 16 aircraft to reflect a more
reasonable production rate.

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

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

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

Shipbuilding.--The Committee fully supports the CNO's goal
of a 313 ship Navy as a minimum requirement for the Nation. The
Committee, however, has serious concerns with the Navy's
ability to deliver on the current shipbuilding program of
record. The Navy's track record for building ships on time and
on budget has not been good. The Government Accountability
Office [GAO] has recently pointed out that the ships under
construction at the beginning of the current fiscal year have
experienced cumulative cost growth of almost $5,000,000,000
above their original budgets. Significant cost growth, schedule
delay, or both have occurred in the LPD-17 program, Littoral
Combat Ship [LCS] program, the T-AKE program, as well as the
next-generation destroyer and aircraft carrier programs. While
supportive of additional funding for shipbuilding, the
Committee is very concerned that accelerating any of the
current shipbuilding programs is unexecutable and would have
the effect of just ``banking'' funds.
Naval shipbuilding has been plagued with too frequent
design changes, requirements creep, poor cost estimating, and
poor government performance in program management and
contractor oversight. Under staffing of critical government
oversight funcations has also been a major problem for the
Navy. The Committee believes that the acquisition changes
proposed by current Navy leadership is movement in the right
direction, however, the Committee would like to see some
positive results in cost, schedule and performance of the
current program of record before supporting significant
increases to the shipbuilding account.
Littoral Combat Ship [LCS].--The President's budget request
included $910,500,000 for the construction of three Littoral
Combat Ships.
The Committee supports the capability envisioned by the LCS
program. The LCS program is extremely important and will
provide the Navy with the necessary tools to face the
asymmetric threats of the future. The Committee notes that the
LCS does not replace a current capability in the fleet but
provides a new capability for future commanders.
The Committee strongly supports the development of a
surface combatant vessel that can be acquired in affordable
volume production. The LCS program, planned as a 55 ship class,
is an integral component of the Navy's future shipbuilding
plan.
Unfortunately, the LCS program has been plagued with
significant cost growth and schedule slip. Time has shown that
the initial acquisition strategy of the LCS was ill-conceived.
The short history of the LCS program, as outlined in the report
to accompany S. 1547, the National Defense Authorization Act
for Fiscal Year 2008, has been a case study in how not to
acquire ships.
The Committee has concluded that a fundamental change needs
to be made to the current LCS acquisition strategy in order to
develop a ship that meets future naval requirements and can be
affordably procured. The Committee also believes that the Navy
will require additional time to correct the cost, schedule and
performance issues with the LCS mission modules and the new
start development of a common combat system.
Therefore, the Committee makes the following
recommendations:
--no funding for additional LCS seaframes, a reduction of
$910,500,000;
--a rescission of $300,000,000 in fiscal year 2007 LCS
funding, cancelling LCS-4;
--an addition of $75,000,000 in advance procurement funding
for one LCS Flight 1 seaframe in fiscal year 2009; and
--full funding for the development and construction of LCS 1
and 2.
Due to the significant uncertainty surrounding the LCS
program, the Committee does not believe that funding for
additional seaframes in fiscal year 2008 is justified. The
Committee believes that only one ship of each design is
required for the Navy to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of
the competing designs that will result in the down select of
one design for the Flight 1 LCS seaframe. The cancellation of
LCS-4 will leave the Navy with one ship of each design for
operational performance testing by the fleet. The Committee
understands that both LCS-1 and LCS-2 will deliver in the third
quarter of fiscal year 2008. Upon delivery of both ships, the
Navy is directed to proceed with a comprehensive evaluation of
both designs as soon as practicable. This will allow the Navy
sufficient time to conduct operational performance testing of
both ships and make a down-select decision in late fiscal year
2008. The Committee has every confidence that the Secretary of
the Navy will ensure that a fair competition takes place
between the two ship designs. The Committee further directs the
Navy to include in the fiscal year 2009 budget submission a new
acquisition strategy for the future procurement of the LCS
class.
The Committee expects the Navy to proceed with an
acquisition strategy that includes a full and open competition
for the Flight 1 ships. The Committee further expects the Navy
to continue with its plan providing ``contract design
packages'' to industry and conducting a new competition for
Flight 1 ships. The Committee directs the Navy to include lead
and follow shipyards and open this competition to shipyards not
currently involved in the LCS program. The Committee also
directs the Navy to use fixed priced incentive contracting for
all Flight 1 ships.

Littoral Combat Ship [LCS] Mission Modules.--The budget
request includes $80,324,000 for the procurement of mine
warfare and surface warfare mission modules for LCS. Due to
disruptions in the LCS program, as well as technical challenges
to several components of the mission modules, the Committee
recommends $15,000,000, a reduction of $65,324,000. The
Committee recommended amount provides for one Remote
Minehunting Vehicle to maintain production facilities and one
Airborne Laser Mine Detection System in anticipation of an
accelerated initial operational capability. The Committee urges
the Navy to reexamine the future years' schedule for production
of mission packages to reflect the delays in the LCS program.
Submarine Batteries.--The Committee is concerned about the
significant cost growth and schedule overruns for installation
of Valve Regulated Lead Acid batteries in Los Angeles, Ohio,
and Seawolf class submarines. These problems have required
deferral of new procurements to fund redesign efforts, which
may yet have further effects on the timely replacement of aging
batteries in the fleet. The Committee intends to closely
monitor this program to ensure that cost and schedule are
brought under control.

2008 budget request includes $2,211,625,000 in Procurement,
Marine Corps for Grow the Force, an initiative described in
further detail elsewhere in this report. Subsequent to the
budget submission, the Marine Corps identified adjustments to
its Grow the Force funding request, to include: a transfer of
$300,000,000 from Procurement, Marine Corps to Procurement of
Ammunition, Navy and Marine Corps; a transfer of $147,388,000

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

Committee recommendation................................ 4,920,219,000
The Committee recommends an appropriation of
$4,920,219,000. This is $210,783,000 below the budget estimate.

Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile [JASSM].--The fiscal
year 2008 budget request includes $201,125,000 for the
procurement of JASSMs. The program breached the Nunn-McCurdy
limits earlier this year and has not yet been re-certified by
the Department of Defense. Additionally, the JASSM failed four
successive flight tests this spring due to failures of the
navigation system and problems with the fuze, calling into
question the effectiveness of previously funded reliability
enhancement efforts. In July, the Air Force received permission
from the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology
and Logistics to proceed with a $68,000,000 8-month reliability
enhancement program, with the costs to be shared between the
Air Force and the contractor. The Committee has reviewed the
proposed reliability enhancement program and provides full
funding for the Air Force's $30,000,000 share of this program.
Additional funding is provided to support a potential June 2008
production award following a successful Nunn-McCurdy
recertification. The Committee reduces the remaining requested
procurement funding by $67,700,000 for missiles funded ahead of
need. The funding provided will allow production to continue
without a production break until a fiscal year 2009 contract
award. The Committee directs that none of the funds provided in
this bill may be obligated for the procurement of missiles in
fiscal year 2008 until 10 days after the Committee has been
notified by the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition,
Technology and Logistics of the results of the Phase I
reliability enhancement program and the Nunn-McCurdy
recertification. Further, the Committee designates this program
as a congressional special interest item for the purpose of
reprogramming.
Advanced Medium Range Medium Air-to-Air Missile [AMRAAM].--
The fiscal year 2008 budget request includes $224,577,000 in
Missile Procurement, Air Force and $87,460,000 in Weapons
Procurement, Navy for the procurement of Phase 4 AIM-120D
AMRAAMs. This is an increase of $108,333,000, or 53.2 percent,
over amounts provided in fiscal year 2007 for a program that is
still in its System Development and Demonstration phase. The
budget request requires a three-fold increase in monthly
production rates. Given past production problems, the Committee
questions the wisdom of this drastic increase and recommends
funding for a more gradual production ramp increase. The
Committee provides $258,137,000 for the procurement of AMRAAMs,
an increase of $54,433,000 over amounts provided in fiscal year
2007.
ICBM Modernization.--The Committee is aware that the Air
Force is implementing a modernization program for the Minuteman
III, as directed in section 139 of Public Law 109-364, in order
to sustain the deployed force of such missiles through 2030.
The Committee is concerned that following the completion of
this modernization program, the capability of the defense
industrial base to modernize or replace these ICBMs will be
severely diminished. The Committee directs the Department of
the Air Force to conduct a study on the capability of the
defense industrial base to maintain, modernize, and sustain the
Minuteman III system until 2030, and on the industrial base's
capability to replace the Minuteman III with a follow-on land-
based strategic deterrent system after 2030. The report shall
be provided to the congressional defense committees not later
than March 1, 2008. The study shall include an analysis of the
risks associated with not maintaining the defense industrial
base capability after completion of the Minuteman III
modernization program, and the benefits associated with
developing a life extension program for the Minuteman III
system similar to the Trident II D5 Service Life Extension
Program.
Advanced Extremely High Frequency Satellite-4 [AEHF-4].--
The Committee recommends an additional $125,000,000 for the
advance procurement of the fourth AEHF satellite and directs
the Air Force to fully fund the satellite in the fiscal year
2009 budget request.
Space-Based Infrared System [SBIRS] Highly Elliptical
Orbit-4 [HEO-4] Advance Procurement.--The Committee strongly
supports the Air Force's procurement of the SBIRS HEO payloads
three and four. However, based on the current launch schedule,
the request for advance procurement of HEO-4 is premature.
Therefore, the Committee reduces the fiscal year 2008 budget by
$81,000,000 and directs the Air Force to include advance
procurement for HEO-4 in the fiscal year 2009 budget request.

The Committee recommends an appropriation of
$1,000,000,000. This is $1,000,000,000 above the budget
estimate.
The appropriation includes direction for each Reserve and
National Guard component commander to submit to the
congressional defense committees a detailed assessment of that
component's modernization priorities.
The Committee maintains that the Reserve and National Guard
component commanders should exercise control of funds provided
for their modernization in this account. The separate
submission of these assessments, directly from the Reserve
component commanders and the National Guard Directors to the
committees will ensure that Reserve and National Guard
priorities are addressed in the allocation of this
appropriation.

Strategic and Critical Materials.--As the Defense National
Stockpile continues to reduce its inventory of strategic and
critical materials, the Committee is concerned about access to
today's critical materials that may be needed by U.S. defense
industries in case of a major international emergency. The
Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to submit a report
to the congressional defense committees no later than March 31,
2008, which describes the materials critical to the strategic
defense interests of the United States, the domestic suppliers
of those materials and their reliance on foreign sources of
production, efforts by foreign countries to stockpile critical
materials, and the steps that are being taken to ensure that
strategic and critical materials not produced domestically will
be available to support the defense needs of the United States
during a protracted conflict.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS
The Committee has displayed recommended adjustments in
tables presented under each appropriation account.
These adjustments reflect the following Committee actions:
elimination of funds requested for programs which are lower
priority, duplicative, or not supported by firm requirements in
out-year development or procurement appropriations; deletion of
excess funds based on program delays or slow execution;
addition of funds to reflect congressional priorities and to
rectify shortfalls in the budget estimate; and implementation
of recommendations in S. 1547, the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008.
The Committee directs that the funding increases outlined
in these tables shall be provided only for the specific
purposes indicated in the table.
RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT, TEST AND EVALUATION OVERVIEW
Research, Development, Test and Evaluation Program Element
Codes and Budget Justification Documents.--At the request of
Congress, the Government Accountability Office [GAO] recently
completed a review of the Defense Department's research,
development, test and evaluation [RDT&E] program element code
structure and of the RDT&E budget justification documents that
are provided annually to Congress in support of the President's
budget request. The Committee relies heavily on program element
codes and budget justification documents during its budget
review and believes that improvements could be made to enhance
visibility over the Department's efforts and to provide
stronger justification for requested funding. The Committee
will work with the Department of Defense to achieve this goal
in time for preparation of the fiscal year 2010 budget
submission. Areas in need of improvement include, but are not
limited to, the correlation of program element codes with the
activities funded under the program element; the provision of
specific information about activities conducted and
accomplishments achieved with prior year funding; information
on planned activities and their costs for the budget year at
the project level; the improvement of cross references among
projects; provision of schedules that identify key events;
updates to narratives that reflect prior years' events; and the
implementation of a more informative display of programmatic,
schedule and budgetary changes.
F-35 Joint Strike Fighter.--The Committee is disappointed
that the Department of Defense did not continue funding to
support the development of an alternative engine for the F-35
Joint Strike Fighter in the fiscal year 2008 budget request.
Although the Committee recognizes that the Department of
Defense faces difficult budget challenges, the Committee also
believes it is premature to cancel the second engine source.
Experience with the F-16 Fighter program demonstrated that
engine competition led to a more reliable, better performing
and lower cost engine. The Committee believes that competition
for the F-35 engine is critical to procuring the best value
engine at the lowest price and that competition will likely
lead to an overall savings across the life cycle of the fighter
program. Therefore, the Committee recommends an additional
$240,000,000 in both the Navy and Air Force Research,
Development, Test and Evaluation accounts. The Committee also
directs the Department of Defense to fund the continued
development of both engines in future budget submissions.
Conventional TRIDENT Missile.--The budget request includes
$175,400,000 to develop a prompt global strike capability using
existing TRIDENT II (D-5) missiles with conventional payloads.
The Committee recommends no funding for that program. Basic
issues with the use of the conventional TRIDENT missile remain;
these issues include the possibility of misinterpretation as a
nuclear missile launch, the effect of diverting strategic
system assets for conventional uses and the exposure of
strategic submarine locations. As such, the Committee instead
recommends funds to consider other options, including land and
air-based alternatives. To encourage a different perspective in
addressing the problem, the Committee is providing $125,000,000
in the Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Defense-Wide
appropriation for prompt global strike. The funds shall be used
for engineering and development of alternatives to the
conventional TRIDENT missile program. Specific areas of
interest include research on re-entry systems (including FALCON
CAV, formerly funded through the Defense Advanced Research
Projects Agency), strategic policy compliance, advanced
guidance, navigation and control technologies, weapon system
command and control, intermediate range missile concepts,
advanced nonnuclear warheads and other mission enabling
capabilities that address emerging requirements.
Science and Technology.--The Committee notes that the
changing warfighting environment requires continued investment
in new, forward-looking capabilities. The Committee directs the
Secretary of Defense to provide a report to the congressional

Warfighter Information Network--Tactical [WIN-T].--The
fiscal year 2008 budget request includes $737,900,000 for WIN-
T/JNN in Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Army and
in Other Procurement, Army. Subsequent to the budget submission
and following a Nunn-McCurdy breach, the Under Secretary of
Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics certified a
restructured WIN-T program consisting of four distinct
increments that provide progressively increasing capability.
The Committee notes that the Nunn-McCurdy breach was primarily
caused by program immaturity, schedule growth, errors in cost
estimating assumptions and changes to the acquisition strategy.
Yet under the restructured program, WIN-T's two most
sophisticated elements--Increment 3, which will provide full
networking on the move capability, and Increment 4, which will
provide protected networking on the move capability--still lack
finalized requirements, technological maturity assessments, and
cost estimates. As a result, the Committee is highly concerned
that the WIN-T program remains surrounded by programmatic
uncertainty, technological challenges, and is at risk for
additional cost and schedule growth. Therefore, the Committee
finds it premature to triple research, development, test and
evaluation funding in fiscal year 2008, as the Army has
proposed. The Committee recommendation provides an increase of
more than $100,000,000 over amounts provided in fiscal year
2007 and fully funds Increment 2 in support of fielding in
fiscal year 2009.
The Committee believes that the program's history and
remaining issues of concern, coupled with its importance to the
Army's current and future force merit an independent review and
assessment. Therefore, the Committee directs the Comptroller
General to evaluate, assess and report on the WIN-T program and
to present its findings to the congressional defense committees
no later than June 30, 2008. This report shall include an
assessment of the restructured program's ability to address its
past problems; its integration and synchronization with the
requirements of the Future Combat Systems program; a technology
readiness level assessment; an identification of key remaining
risks in the program, its acquisition strategy and management
structure; accuracy of cost estimates; and other issues the
Comptroller General determines are relevant to the future
direction of the WIN-T program.
MQ-8B Fire Scout Vertical Takeoff Unmanned Aerial Vehicle
[VTUAV].--The Army is purchasing Fire Scout VTUAV's to satisfy
the requirement for Class IV UAV's under its Future Combat
Systems program. The platform is based on the Navy's RQ-8A Fire
Scout VTUAV that has completed more than 200 flight tests. The
Committee understands that production of at least six Army Fire
Scout VTUAV's has been completed, but final flight testing has
been delayed until 2010 due to the development of the Future
Combat Systems network and delays in the Joint Tactical Radio
System program. The Committee is concerned about this program
delay when the United States Central Command [CENTCOM] has an
urgent requirement for persistent command, control,
communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance and
reconnaissance [C4ISR] systems in support of ongoing
operations. The Committee, therefore, urges the Secretary of
Army to take appropriate actions to field previously produced
Army Fire Scout Class IV VTUAV's, with appropriate sensors and
communications capabilities and requisite ground control
stations, for deployment to the CENTCOM area of operations.
Further, the Secretary of the Army is directed to submit a
report to the congressional defense committees along with the
fiscal year 2009 budget submission that describes progress made
toward fielding this capability.
XM 982 Excalibur 155mm Precision Guided Extended Range
Artillery Projectile.--The fiscal year 2008 request includes
$55,950,000 for a third planned increment, Block Ib, to the XM
982 Excalibur projectile. The Committee understands that the
fiscal year 2008 acquisition strategy for Excalibur remains to
be determined. Therefore, the Committee denies the requested
funding for Block Ib at this time without prejudice. The
Committee will revisit funding for Excalibur subsequent to the
Army's decision on the program's fiscal year 2008 acquisition
strategy.
General Fund Enterprise Business System [GFEBS].--GFEBS is
a commercial-off-the-shelf, web-based enterprise resource
planning system designed to enable the Army to share resource
management data across the Army. The fiscal year 2008 budget
request includes $53,559,000 in Research, Development, Test and
Evaluation, Army, $39,353,000 in Other Procurement, Army, and
$29,822,000 in Operation and Maintenance, Army for a total
request of $122,724,000, an increase of $62,273,000 over
amounts provided in fiscal year 2007. Subsequent to the budget
submission, the Army requested that all funding in Operation
and Maintenance, Army, and $29,219,000 of funding in Other
Procurement, Army be transferred to the Research, Development,
Test and Evaluation, Army account due to an exponential growth
in requirements. The Committee notes that this program
adjustment differs substantially not only from the fiscal year
2008 budget submission, but also from a program adjustment that
was briefed to the Committee earlier this year in support of a
reprogramming action. The Committee notes further that
subsequent to the fiscal year 2007 budget submission, the Army
had also requested a realignment of funds included in the
budget request. The Committee is deeply concerned with the lack
of stable program requirements and the Army's schedule-driven
program management. This is particularly troubling in light of
the fact that earlier this year, the Army nominated, and the
Deputy Secretary of Defense approved, the GFEBS program as a
pilot for the Capital Account Pilot Program, which is designed
around the concept of program stability. The Committee sees no
such stability in the GFEBS program. However, at this point,
recognizing the critical importance of improving the Army's
resource management system and faced with a lack of
alternatives, the Committee supports the requested realignment
of fiscal year 2008 funding. The Committee advises the Army
that it expects to receive program updates, to include the
program's requirements, schedule, status of deliverables,
contractor performance and execution of resources not less than
every 60 days.

MSSS/AMOS.--The Committee recommends an increase of
$24,000,000 over the President's budget request for
sustainment, investment in new technologies and initiatives,
and research and development activities at MSSS. The Committee
is concerned that the Air Force will apply taxes to MSSS
programs at excessive rates for lab overhead, and directs the
Air Force to base its overhead charges only on the amount
requested. None of the increases provided here shall be subject
to Air Force taxes or withholds. Furthermore, research funds
should be allocated by Air Force officials on-site to local
programs that offer the greatest potential return and merit.
Joint Cargo Aircraft.--The Committee recommends no funding
for the Air Force's Joint Cargo Aircraft program and,
therefore, reduces the request by $42,368,000. The Air Force
has no formal requirement for this aircraft and can execute the
light cargo mission with its fleet of C-130 aircraft. If the
Department of Defense's Intra-Theater Fleet Mix Analysis, due
to be completed in December 2007, concludes that the Joint
Cargo Aircraft is an essential capability for the Air Force,
the Committee will consider a reprogramming or future request.
F-22A.--The budget request for F-22A research and
development in fiscal year 2008 is $743,593,000, an increase of
$271,118,000 over fiscal year 2007. The Committee believes that
it is premature to begin research and development on future
increments of modernization efforts beyond the current
increment 3.1. The F-22A is the country's pre-eminent fighter
aircraft and is decades ahead of our adversary's capabilities.
It is unclear why there are such large requests for
modernization efforts to an aircraft that is just beginning to
be fielded. Thus, the Committee recommends a reduction of
$29,900,000 for initiation of the next increment of upgrades
and a reduction of $56,300,000 for the Enhanced Stores
Management Systems for design work to add new weapons systems.
The Committee is also concerned over the growth in lab
infrastructure from $52,400,000 in fiscal year 2007 to
$92,100,000 in fiscal year 2008 and recommends a reduction of
$46,000,000.
Space Command and Control Operations.--The Space Command
and Control Operations system plans to provide integrated space
information and command and control of space forces for the
Joint Forces Combatant Commander, Space (U.S. Strategic
Command). The fiscal year 2008 budget request includes
$8,600,000 for space command and control technology risk
reduction and $10,500,000 for the space command and control
system itself. The Committee believes the request for the space
command and control system is premature since the technology
risk reduction efforts have not yet begun and recommends no
funds for this purpose.
Global Positioning System [GPS] Extension Program.--The GPS
Extension program has the potential to provide the warfighter a
significant increase in jam-resistant GPS capability and
precision navigation and timing enhancements in restricted
environments years earlier than currently planned. The
Committee is concerned, however, with the Air Force execution
of this program and directs that the Research, Development,
Test and Evaluation, Air Force funding for the GPS Extension
program be transferred to the Research, Development, Test and
Evaluation, Navy appropriation Line 17.
Global Positioning System User Equipment.--The Committee
recommends a transfer of $63,000,000 from GPS III for GPS User
Equipment in order to maintain competition between multiple
contractors for GPS handsets.
Global Hawk.--The Air Force has underfunded spare parts for
the existing Global Hawk assets in order to invest in the next
generation of Global Hawk aircraft. The existing assets are
being used heavily in theater and are providing tremendous
support to the warfighters on the ground. The Committee
believes it should be the Air Force's priority to fully fund
the operational aircraft to ensure that the few Global Hawk's
in the Air Force inventory can be used when needed. Therefore,
the Committee transfers $7,000,000 of Air Force research and
development funding to the Aircraft Procurement, Air Force
account to fully fund spares for the existing Global Hawk
aircraft.
C-5 Re-Engining Program [RERP].--The Committee recommends a
reduction of $25,000,000 for the C-5 RERP program due to
instability in the future program plans, cost growth, and
inadequate cost estimates for re-engining the C-5 fleet. The
goal of the re-engining program is to increase mission
availability rates by 10 percent, thereby saving operating and
support costs in future years. The program does not extend the
life of the aircraft beyond the current structural design. The
Air Force is currently analyzing the cost estimates of the RERP
program and whether it will actually produce any savings in the
out-years. Indeed, the program was recently restructured,
adding $224,500,000 in research and development funding from
fiscal year 2008 to fiscal year 2012 and 7 months to the system
development and demonstration phase of the program.
Furthermore, a Milestone C decision is expected in January
2008, and at that time, the Department of Defense will decide
the future of the C-5 RERP program.
Counter-Man Portable Air Defense Systems [MANPADS] for the
Civil Reserve Air Fleet [CRAF].--The Committee is concerned
that the CRAF aircraft are not protected from MANPADS, which
inhibits their ability to operate efficiently overseas and puts
our troops, cargo and CRAF in hazardous operating environments.
The Committee directs the Air Force to provide a report to the
Defense Appropriations Subcommittees within 30 days of the
passage of this act that provides an analysis of putting
counter-MANPADS systems on the CRAF aircraft, including a cost
estimate and schedule for equipping the fleet.
Chinese Rocket Program.--The Committee directs the
Secretary of Defense to report to the Committees on
Appropriations and Armed Services of the House and Senate
within 180 days providing an assessment of the current Chinese
rocket program identifying non-Chinese companies which are
contracting to use Chinese launch vehicles.
SATELLITE PROGRAMS
The Committee is concerned with the Department of Defense's
current strategy for managing satellite programs. The Committee
finds that the Defense Department is too eager to reach for
challenging technological advances while forgoing ongoing
programs. As satellite systems are on the verge of recovering
after years of technical challenges and significant cost
growth, the Department reduces its plans and seeks to begin new
more complex replacements for these systems that have not yet
been launched.
While the Committee commends the Air Force's new block
upgrade approach to the next generation systems, it still
believes that the current strategy is unaffordable,
unjustifiably risky, and increases instability in the
industrial base. By cutting off the current satellite programs
and moving to the next generation of unproven technologies, the
Department of Defense puts at risk essential military and
national capabilities, such as communications, positioning,
precision timing and navigation, and missile warning.
Therefore, the Committee recommends several adjustments to the
satellite programs described further below.
Global Positioning System.--In fiscal year 2007, the Global
Positioning System IIF program was curtailed from 15 to 12
satellites after experiencing technical and cost challenges and
will be replaced by GPS III earlier than originally planned.
While GPS III promises to bring additional capability to the
warfighter with an incremental upgrade approach, it will
require the development of a completely new satellite with
unknown costs. The third block upgrade will be particularly
challenging to produce. The Committee believes the request for
GPS III is premature based on the current schedule of the GPS
IIR-M launches, the GPS IIF procurement and launch schedule,
and the capability of the current GPS constellation to last
longer than its original design life. Therefore, the Committee
recommends a reduction of $150,000,000 from GPS III development
activities. Of this reduction, $63,000,000 shall be transferred
to GPS User Equipment.
Communication Satellites.--The Air Force is currently
producing, but has not yet launched, the first Advanced
Extremely High Frequency [AEHF] satellite. After many delays
and significant cost growth, AEHF seems to have finally
resolved its technical and engineering challenges. Because of
the earlier challenges, the AEHF program was reduced to a
constellation of three satellites in December 2002 in order to
accelerate its replacement, the Transformational Communications
Satellite [TSAT]. It is now evident that funding for AEHF was
reduced prematurely and that the Department of Defense requires
at least one additional AEHF to avoid a communications
shortfall in the future. Therefore, the Committee has included
$125,000,000 in the Missile Procurement, Air Force account for
the advance procurement of an additional AEHF satellite. The
Committee encourages the Air Force to include an option for a
second AEHF satellite in the follow-on contract in order to get
the best pricing should they determine another AEHF is
required.
The follow-on TSAT program is a technically challenging and
unproven system with unknown total costs. The Committee
understands that the technologies associated with the TSAT
satellite are reaching high levels of technical maturity for
this stage in the program and that the program has adopted a
block upgrade approach to help ensure the program's success.
However, the program is still in its infancy with many
technical, manufacturing and engineering risks ahead.
In addition, the TSAT program will be extremely expensive.
The budget request for the TSAT program from fiscal year 2008
through fiscal year 2013 alone is currently projected to be
$11,413,800,000. That amount does not include the cost of the
program after 2013, which at this point is unknown, but will
certainly be significant considering the first TSAT is not
scheduled to launch until fiscal year 2016. The recent history
of satellite programs would strongly suggest that costs will
increase significantly as the program goes forward. The Air
Force has already faced challenges fully funding this program
when weighed against other Air Force priorities and reduced the
fiscal year 2008 budget request from last year's estimate by
$572,400,000. Furthermore, the Committee has been informed that
other options for improving communications for the military are
being examined by the Department of Defense, including using
airborne and existing telecommunications networks that could
potentially accomplish TSAT's objectives at far lesser expense
to the nation. The Committee encourages the Department to
seriously consider these alternatives to enhance the military's
communications architecture.
Due to the fact that AEHF has not yet launched, the
uncertainties over the affordability of the current TSAT
program, and potential communications alternatives, the
Committee believes TSAT should be slowed down to ensure that it
is fiscally and technically executable. Therefore, the
Committee recommends a reduction of $200,000,000 to TSAT
program, which leaves $763,585,000 for the program, an increase
of $33,640,000 over the fiscal year 2007 appropriation.
Missile Warning Satellites.--The Committee is concerned
that the Air Force is beginning an acquisition program to
replace Space-Based Infrared System-High [SBIRS-High] with the
Advanced Infrared Space System [AIRSS] program prematurely.
While SBIRS still has a few challenges to overcome, it appears
to be making good progress after more than 12 years of
development and an estimated $9,900,000,000 for the total
program cost. The SBIRS Highly Elliptical Orbit [HEO] payload
is performing better than anticipated and, although there are
still development and testing issues with SBIRS Geosynchronous
Orbit [GEO] satellites, it seems like the program is finally on
track.
The Committee is encouraged by the Department of Defense's
recent announcement that it will buy two additional SBIRS
satellites and two additional SBIRS HEO payloads. However, the
Committee understands that the SBIRS technology will be
challenging to maintain since it will be outdated before it
even launches. In addition, the complexity of the satellite
could impact its design life. Therefore, the Committee believes
that technology development for the AIRSS program is warranted
and provides $75,000,000 to continue those efforts.

Transformational Countermeasures Technologies Initiative
[TCTI].--The fiscal year 2008 budget request includes
$24,300,000 for TCTI. The Committee has fully funded this
request and notes that this is an increase of $19,300,000 over
amounts provided in fiscal year 2007. Subsequent to the budget
submission, the request for TCTI increased to $55,800,000.
Given the lack of fully developed program objectives and
transition plans, the Committee sees no reason to provide any
additional funding for TCTI at this time and denies the request
to move an additional $31,400,000 into the TCTI program.
Transformational Medical Technology Initiative [TMTI].--The
fiscal year 2008 budget request includes $247,800,000 for TMTI,
an increase of $124,300,000, or 101 percent, over amounts
provided in fiscal year 2007. In light of the program's severe
execution delays in both fiscal years 2006 and 2007, the
Committee finds the request excessive. The Committee provides
$147,700,000 for TMTI, a reasonable increase over amounts
provided in fiscal year 2007. The Committee commends the
Special Assistant for Chemical and Biological Defense for the
TMTI report that was provided in response to congressional
mandate and directs the Special Assistant for Chemical and
Biological Defense to continue to provide this report annually.
The Committee will work with the program office to ensure that
the Committee's concerns continue to be addressed in the
report.
Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency [DARPA].--The
fiscal year 2008 budget request includes $3,085,617,000 for
DARPA. The Committee recommends a funding level of
$2,909,283,000, a reduction of $176,334,000 to the request. The
Committee reduction is primarily based on DARPA's
underexecution of previously provided funding. For example,
with one quarter remaining for the obligation of fiscal year
2006 funds, over $500,000,000, or 17 percent, of funds
appropriated in fiscal year 2006 for DARPA were unobligated or
reprogrammed for higher priorities. This trend of
underexecution continues in fiscal year 2007, where despite a
congressional reduction of $199,000,000 to the budget request
more than 7.5 percent of appropriated funding has been
identified as excess to DARPA requirements within the first 9
months of availability for obligation. Therefore, the Committee
does not believe that additional program growth is justified at
this time and recommends funding DARPA's fiscal year 2008
program at a level consistent with current expenditures in the
fiscal year 2007 program. The Committee notes that the
recommended fiscal year 2008 amount provides $400,000,000 more
than is being executed in the fiscal year 2006 program.
Additionally, an analysis of DARPA's top technical
performers over the past 3 years shows that roughly one-third
of DARPA's budget is consistently awarded to the same top 15
performers, most of which rank among the world's leading
defense companies. The Committee is concerned that by
repeatedly relying on the same performers, DARPA may be missing
out on innovative ideas originating from non-traditional, non-
defense sources, to include small businesses, creative
individuals and small universities and colleges. The Committee
encourages DARPA to increase its outreach and awareness
initiatives to these potential partners with the specific goal
of enhancing greater participation from non-traditional defense
sources.
The Committee commends DARPA for its attempts to comply
with guidance previously issued in Senate Report 108-284
regarding transition plans for programs funded with Advanced
Technology Development research funds. The fiscal year 2008
budget request includes $1,477,131,000, almost 50 percent of
DARPA's budget, in Advanced Technology Development funding for
182 programs. According to DARPA, transition objectives exist
for 88 percent of those programs--short of the Committee's
mandate of 100 percent, but certainly a vast improvement from
previous years. The Committee directs DARPA to continue to
strive towards achieving transition plans for 100 percent of
Advanced Technology Development programs and to maintain a
minimum of at least 90 percent. The Committee further directs
the Director, DARPA to submit to the congressional defense
committees with the fiscal year 2009 budget submission a
written report detailing DARPA's transition successes by fiscal
year since fiscal year 2006, and its transition plans for
programs funded in the fiscal year 2009 request. The report
shall include the identification of projects by Program Element
and name (to include potential name changes over the years),
funding history by fiscal year, transition agents, the year of
transition, and the projects' name and funding by procurement/
research and development line upon transitioning to a
transition agent Program of Record. Additionally, the report
shall include an assessment of Technology Readiness Levels
[TRLs] for each project at the time of its initiation at DARPA
and at the time of its transition to the transition agent.
The fiscal year 2007 Department of Defense Appropriations
Act directed DARPA to provide more individual programmatic
detail in its budget justification materials. While some
improvements were made with the fiscal year 2008 budget
submission, the Committee notes that several Program Element
numbers still include roll-up programs containing a multitude
of smaller projects for which no schedule, programmatic or
funding detail is included in the justification materials. The
Committee expects this to be rectified with the fiscal year
2009 budget submission.
Synthetic Fuel Utilization.--The Committee supports the
Department's efforts to evaluate synthetic fuels, including
those produced through the Fischer-Tropsch process, which may
lead to greater fuel efficiency and lesser dependence on
foreign energy sources. However, the Committee is concerned
that there has been insufficient attention to the
infrastructure requirements and investment planning for a
transition to synthetic fuels. This uncertainty undermines the
ability of commercial producers to generate the necessary
investment capital to build facilities capable of producing
synthetic fuels to meet defense requirements.
The Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to submit a
report to the congressional defense committees no later than
March 31, 2008, which, for each military department, describes
the anticipated fuel requirement that may be met by synthetic
fuel, including the amounts and types of such fuel; a schedule
for the transition to synthetic fuels; the infrastructure
required for the distribution of synthetic fuels, including
cost estimates for construction and operation and maintenance;
and the status of any long-term contracts or other agreements
to encourage private sector investment to ensure the
availability of synthetic fuels that meet military
requirements.
Joint Wargaming Simulation Management Office.--The fiscal
year 2008 budget request includes $37,837,000 for the Joint
Wargaming Simulation Management Office. This request consists
of $11,000,000 for program office support and roughly
$26,000,000 in unencumbered funding for Department-wide
Modeling and Simulation [M&S] efforts. This is in addition to
an estimated $10,000,000,000 annual Department of Defense
investment in M&S. Recognizing the need for Department-wide
coordination and jointness among the services' and defense
agencies' M&S efforts in order to maximize effectiveness and
eliminate redundancy, the Committee fully funds the program
office so that it may exercise its oversight role. However,
given the Department's significant annual M&S investment, the
Committee finds the request for additional M&S funding
unwarranted. The Committee directs the Joint Wargaming
Simulation Management Office to submit to the congressional
defense committees along with the fiscal year 2009 budget
submission a report detailing M&S efforts conducted by the
services and defense agencies annually since fiscal year 2006,
to include the type of effort, participants and associated
funding.
Budget and Program Assessments.--The fiscal year 2008
budget request includes $5,750,000 to support both the Office
of the Director, Program, Analysis & Evaluation [PA&E] and the
Office of the Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller) to
resolve budget and programmatic issues across the full range of
the Department's activities. The Committee has fully funded
this request. However, the Committee is distressed to learn
that the Department plans to outsource this funding to
Federally Funded Research and Development Centers [FFRDCs]. The
Committee believes that research and analysis capabilities in
support of budgeting, programming and acquisition decisions
should remain within the Department's organic workforce and
directs PA&E and the Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller)
to report to the congressional defense committees on the
execution plan for these funds.
New Starts.--The budget request includes several new
programs in fiscal year 2008. The Committee commends the
Department for addressing validated capability gaps and
supports many of these new initiatives. However, the Committee
is concerned that several proposed new start programs lack
specific exit criteria and transition goals. Therefore, the
Committee directs the Department to implement a plan for
transitioning these new start programs and to report to the
congressional defense committees no later than 30 days after
enactment of this act.
New Starts in the Year of Execution.--The budget request
includes over $300,000,000 in various program elements for
projects that will be selected and initiated in the year of
execution. Recognizing the need for the Department to conduct
research projects in support of urgent warfighter requirements,
the Committee supports this funding and retains the reporting
requirement set forth in Senate Report 109-292.
MISSILE DEFENSE PROGRAMS
Ground-based Missile Defense Upgrades.--The Committee
provides an additional $50,000,000 for upgrades to the ground-
based missile defense [GMD] system, including $28,000,000 for
incorporating Concurrent Test, Training, and Operations [CTTO]
Upgrades for GMD fire control enhanced training and situational
awareness and SBX program, and $22,000,000 for expanding test
infrastructure for operational ground based interceptor
quantities.
Kinetic Energy Interceptor [KEI].--According to the budget
justification materials, KEI has three objectives: ``(1) to
develop a midcourse interceptor capable of replacing the
current fixed Ground-based interceptor [GBI] when the deployed
GBIs become obsolete; (2) to develop this interceptor so that
it could be strategically deployed as an additional midcourse
capability with mobile land- or sea-based launchers; and (3) to
assume the boost- and ascent-phase intercept mission within the
Ballistic Missile Defense System [BMDS] if the Airborne Laser
[ABL] fails to meet its performance objectives.'' The Committee
believes that these objectives are premature, that existing
systems can achieve the same goals, and that the missile is not
suitable for Navy platforms.
The Committee is concerned that MDA is developing KEI as a
replacement for the GBI's prematurely since the GBI's are still
under development, the fielded GBI's undergo continuous
upgrades and retrofits, and the GBI's still have to undergo
significant testing. Furthermore, additional midcourse
capability can be achieved with upgrading current mobile
systems, such as Theater High Altitude Area Defense [THAAD]. In
addition, a study is currently underway on sea-basing the KEI,
including an examination of Navy platforms suitable for hosting
the large KEI. The Committee has not been informed that any
current or future Navy ship will be outfitted with the KEI, and
it appears that there are few, if any, viable platforms.
Therefore, the Committee recommends a reduction of $30,000,000
for the KEI program.
Test Range Support and Upgrades.--The Committee recommends
an additional $50,000,000 for test and training range support
and upgrades to ensure the ranges are able to keep pace with
the additional demands required to support MDA testing.
Ballistic Missile Defense Systems Core.--The budget request
includes $24,190,000 for intelligence, counterintelligence, and
information assurance activities in the BMD System Core program
element. The Committee is concerned that MDA is engaging in
activities that should more appropriately be conducted by the
intelligence community, namely the Missile and Space
Intelligence Center, the National Air and Space Intelligence
Center, and other entities in the Department of Defense.
Therefore, the Committee recommends a reduction of $18,020,000
for intelligence and security and a reduction of $3,245,000 for
counterintelligence. The remaining funding shall be used only
for information assurance systems certification.
In addition, the request includes $37,615,000 for
Producibility and Manufacturing Technology. This funding
supports research and development activities on projects such
as high performance batteries, radiation hardened devices,
electro-optical and infrared producibility and reliability,
radar electronics improvements, affordable and reliable
propulsion, advanced materials and structures, and anti-tamper
technologies. The Committee recommends a reduction of
$23,335,000 for this program since these technologies are
repetitive of activities underway in the core missile defense
programs and duplicative of research and development programs
done by the military services and the Defense Advanced Research
Projects Agency.
Furthermore, the BMD Systems Core program element grows
from $429,420,000 in fiscal year 2007 to $482,016,000 in the
fiscal year 2008 request. The Committee recommends a reduction
of $50,000,000 for general program growth in the BMD Systems
Core program element.
Procurement Funding Pilot Program.--The Committee is
concerned that MDA continues to fund its programs incrementally
with research and development funds when they should more
appropriately be funded in the procurement or operation and
maintenance accounts. Several MDA programs have stable
production and have graduated from the research and development
phase, such as Standard Missiles, Ground-based Interceptors,
TPY-2 radars, and THAAD fire units. In order to begin this
transition away from incremental funding to build stability in
the production lines and gain efficiencies in unit costs, the
Committee directs MDA to begin a pilot program in fiscal year
2009 that funds THAAD Fire Units 3 and 4 with Procurement,
Defense-wide funding. In addition, the Committee encourages MDA
to fully fund Standard Missiles with procurement funding
beginning in fiscal year 2010.
Space Tracking and Surveillance System.--The budget request
includes $331,525,000 for the Space Tracking and Surveillance
System [STSS]. The Committee understands that MDA will be
launching two prototype satellites to assess how they will
enhance the missile defense system. At the same time, MDA is
requesting funds to develop the follow-on STSS satellites
without sufficient knowledge from the experimental satellites.
Therefore, the Committee recommends a reduction of $45,000,000
from the STSS-Follow-On. In addition, program management
support for the STSS-Follow-On grows from $1,500,000 in fiscal
year 2007 to $12,600,000 in fiscal year 2008. Given the
premature request for STSS-Follow-On, the Committee recommends
a $10,000,000 reduction for program management support.
Similarly, the Committee recommends an additional $4,000,000
reduction for program growth in Program-wide support
activities.
Multiple Kill Vehicle [MKV].--The Committee recommends a
reduction of $50,000,000 for the MKV program. The MKV budget
request nearly doubles from $144,362,000 in fiscal year 2007 to
$271,151,000 in the fiscal year 2008 request. The Committee is
concerned that MDA changed its acquisition strategy in fiscal
year 2007 prematurely and has not provided cost estimates or
adequate justification for adding another contractor to the
program. The justification materials provide no detail on how
the fiscal year 2008 funding will be distributed between the
two efforts.
In addition, the Committee is concerned that MDA has not
fully consulted the Japanese about their intention to replace
the Standard Missile-3 [SM-3] Block IIA program with MKV. The
Japanese have already committed to funding half of the
$2,500,000,000 SM-3 Block IIA development effort with the
United States. The Standard Missile is performing extremely
well in the Aegis sea-based tests, and upgrades to that system
are less risky and will provide near-term capability sooner
than moving to an unproven, technically immature MKV for the
Aegis system.
The Committee directs that no funding in the Aegis BMD
program element can be used for the MKV program.
Space Test Bed.--The Committee provides no funding for the
Space Test Bed. The test bed is intended to be the initial step
toward deploying space-based interceptors. The Committee
believes the request is premature and the costs of a space-
based system are unknown and likely unaffordable. MDA should
focus its efforts on near-term missile defense systems.
Space Experimentation Center.--The Committee recommends a
reduction of $5,000,000 for the Space Experimentation Center, a
new activity requested in fiscal year 2008. Since MDA
terminated its microsatellite technology development program,
no funding is provided for the Space Test Bed (described
above), and the N-FIRE experiment ends in fiscal year 2009,
there is no requirement for an experimentation center since the
STSS program is MDA's only on-going space program.
Air Launched Hit to Kill.--The Committee is encouraged by
MDA's investment in research and development for air launched
weapons for tactical fighter aircraft. These weapons include
equipping fighter aircraft with an Advanced Medium Range Air-
to-Air Missile [AMRAAM] equipped with an AIM-9X seeker, Patriot
Advanced Capability-3 [PAC-3], or THAAD interceptors. The
Committee believes that the Air Launched Hit to Kill program
should be considered as another option for boost/ascent-phase
missile defense since this program has the potential to provide
boost-phase capability to the warfighter in the near-term at a
relatively low cost.

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

Peer Reviewed Medical Research Program.--The Committee has
provided $50,000,000 for a Peer Reviewed Medical Research
Program. The Committee directs the Secretary of Defense, in
conjunction with the Service Surgeons General, to select
medical research projects of clear scientific merit and direct
relevance to military health. Research areas considered under
this funding are restricted to: amyotrophic lateral sclerosis,
blood cancer, diabetes, Duchenne's disease, drug abuse,
epilepsy, inflammatory bowel disease, interstitial cystitis,
leishmaniasis, Lupus, kidney cancer, mesothelioma, multiple
sclerosis, neurofibromatosis, Paget's disease, Parkinson's
disease, polycystic kidney disease, social work research,
tinnitus, and Tuberous Sclerosis Complex research. The
Committee emphasizes that the additional funding provided under
the Peer Reviewed Medical Research Program shall be devoted
only to the purposes listed above.
HealtheForces.--The Committee has provided $3,500,000 for
the Air Force Surgeon General for the continued transfer of
Integrated Clinical Data Base [ICDB]/HEALTHeFORCES government-
developed software in support of medically underserved, rural
health clinics and group practices.
Tri-Service Nursing Research Program.--The Committee has
included $8,000,000 to continue the Tri-Service Nursing
Research Program and urges the Department of Defense to include
this program in future budget requests. This program provides
funding for peer-reviewed research studies conducted by active
duty and reserve military nurses on topics of military nursing
that might not be competitive in other funding venues. The
Committee believes this program is an essential tool for the
retention of our military nurses. The Committee directs the
Assistant Secretary of Defense Health Affairs, in conjunction
with the Service Surgeons General and the Nursing Corps Chiefs
to provide a report to the congressional defense committees, by
April 25, 2008, that details the number and topic areas of
research proposals submitted and funded and a detailed
accounting of the entire program, including administrative
costs, overhead, and travel.
ADDITIONAL ITEMS OF INTEREST
Graduate School of Nursing.--The Committee commends the
Department for continuing the Graduate School of Nursing at the
Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences and
understands that this program will be included in the budget
request in future years. The Committee directs the Service
Surgeons General to provide a report to the congressional
defense committees, by April 25, 2008, detailing the number of
nurses by service assigned to the Doctoral program.
Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists.--The Committee
commends the U.S. Army Graduate Program in Anesthesia Nursing
for receiving the second highest ranking in the Nation of
graduate programs in the nursing anesthesia category as rated
by media reports. The Committee reiterates its strong support
of the current scope of practice of military Certified
Registered Nurse Anesthetists to practice as licensed
independent providers of anesthesia care.
Tripler Pain Rehabilitation Program.--The Committee
commends the work of the Tripler Army Medical Center [TAMC]
Pain Rehabilitation Program as a model of a collaborative
multidisciplinary team approach to effective pain management.
The TAMC Pain Rehabilitation Program provides comprehensive
assessment and treatment for the complex interaction of
physical, emotional and social factors in pain perception. As
pain is one of the most frequent presenting complaints of
returning soldiers, the Committee encourages the Department of
Defense to utilize this program as a model for other military
treatment facilities.
Health Professions Loan Repayment Program.--The Committee
is pleased with the impact that loan repayment has had on
recruitment and retention, across the spectrum of health
professions. Dentists, nurses, pharmacists, psychologists and
optometrists have all indicated that greater targeting of funds
for loan repayment has enhanced recruitment as well as
retention efforts. The Committee strongly encourages the
Department to continue to utilize programs for loan repayment
that are separate from the Health Professions Scholarship and
the Financial Assistance Programs.
Post-Doctoral Education.--The Committee continues to be
supportive of post-doctoral training in health psychology and
applauds the successes and progress being made at Tripler Army
Medical Center. The Committee encourages the Department of
Defense to consolidate post-doctoral training efforts for
psychologists in those military treatment facilities where
independent departments of psychology exist and to lengthen it
to a 2-year program, where appropriate.
Graduate Professional Education.--The Committee strongly
supports continuation of equitable distribution of Department
of Defense funds for graduate professional education to all
health professions, including nursing.
Nurse Accession Bonus.--The Committee commends the
Department for the continuation of the nurse accession bonus of
$15,000 used as a recruiting incentive. The Committee urges the
Department to monitor trends in the Department of Veterans
Affairs and civilian organizations' financial incentives to
ensure accession bonuses remain competitive during the
worsening national shortage of registered nurses.
Pediatric Emergency Medical Services.--The Committee
reiterates its support for pediatric-specific emergency medical
services training and equipment availability throughout
Military Treatment Facilities [MTFs]. The Committee appreciates
the MTFs attention and continued adherence to these
initiatives.
Behavioral Research in the Military Service Laboratories.--
The Committee recognizes that psychological scientists respond
to a myriad of issues vital to national security through their
work in military research laboratories. The multiple demands on
our military personnel, psychological research on leadership,
decisionmaking under stress, cognitive readiness, training, and
human-technology interactions have become even more mission-
critical.
Educational Requirements for Nurses.--The Committee is
aware that the services have different educational requirements
for entry-level nurses. The Committee urges the Department of
Defense to consider making the baccalaureate degree the entry-
level educational requirement for all nurses and to develop
uniform education standards between the Active and Reserve
Components.
Paralympic Military Program.--Participation in paralympics
sports enhances the physical, psychological and social recovery
of severely wounded service members, including their re-
integration into families and communities. The United States
Olympic Committee Paralympic Military Program was created to
enhance the rehabilitation, readiness and quality of life for
these service members through paralympic sport. The Committee
encourages the Department of Defense to partner with the United
States Olympic Committee [USOC] to develop entry-level sport
activities for medical-hold and outpatient service members
stationed at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, National Naval
Medical Center, Brooke Army Medical Center, and Naval Medical
Center San Diego. Such a program would complement ongoing
medical care with sports while identifying supportive and
community-based activities for these wounded warriors.
Residential Treatment Center.--The Committee is concerned
that many military families lack access to residential
treatment centers, which provide vital mental health services
to children and adolescents. The Committee understands that the
Department of Defense is currently reviewing the TRICARE
standards for residential treatment centers, including the
requirement that these centers must have a nurse onsite 24
hours per day. The requirement for 24 hour onsite nursing
coverage is cost prohibitive for smaller residential treatment
centers and those located in rural areas. The Committee
encourages the Department of Defense to complete this review in
a timely manner and to consider whether otherwise qualified
facilities could meet the 24 hour onsite nursing requirement by
having a nurse on call 24 hours per day.

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

None of the funds appropriated in this bill are authorized.
