BACKGROUND
Purpose of the Bill
The Military Construction, Veterans Affairs and Related
Agencies appropriations bill provides necessary funding for the
planning, design, construction, alteration, and improvement of
military facilities worldwide, for both active and reserve
forces. It also finances the cost of military family housing
and the U.S. share of the NATO Security Investment Program. In
addition, the bill provides funding to implement base closures
and realignments authorized by law. The bill provides resources
to the Department of Veterans Affairs for veterans benefits and
health care. The bill also provides funding for U.S. cemeteries
and battlefield monuments both in the United States and abroad;
U.S. Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims; and Armed Forces
Retirement Homes.
Comparative Statement
The Committee recommends appropriations totaling
$119,817,525,000 and rescissions totaling $74,600,000 for
fiscal year 2009 military construction, family housing, base
closure, veterans health care and benefits, as well as related
agencies. The table at the end of the report displays the
Committee recommendation in comparison with the current fiscal
year, and the President's fiscal year 2009 request.
Committee Recommendation
The Committee recommends new fiscal year 2009
appropriations of $119,742,925,000, including rescissions. This
is $11,351,675,000 over the fiscal year 2008 enacted level,
excluding supplemental funding, and $4,398,844,000 over the
budget request. The basis for this recommendation is contained
in the following ``Overview and summary of the bill,'' and
under the discussions pertaining to each individual
appropriation. Complete project detail is provided in the
tables at the end of the report.
Overview and Summary of the Bill
The Military Construction, Veterans Affairs and Related
Agencies appropriations bill funds programs vital to the needs
of America's military personnel and their families, and to the
Nation's veterans. These programs--ranging from building
housing and barracks for troops and their families, to offering
cutting-edge health care to veterans, to providing for the
upkeep and preservation of veterans cemeteries at home and
overseas--touch the lives of millions of Americans who are
currently serving their country in the Armed Forces, or who
have served with honor in the past.
The President's budget request for fiscal year 2009,
totaling $115,344,081,000 for both mandatory and discretionary
funding, is a record request, as is the Committee's
recommendation for appropriations. The levels of funding
contained in this bill reflect the realities of a Nation at war
that is simultaneously realigning and growing its military
forces, and of a veterans health care system that is straining
under the weight of increased demand for services, new types of
combat injuries, such as Traumatic Brain Injury, and an aging
and longer living veteran population.
Military Construction: Investing in Infrastructure for our Troops and
Their Families
America's military troops and their families, as well as
the civilian personnel who support them, are in the midst of an
enormous upheaval involving both new stationing configurations
and new and expanded mission requirements. Tens of thousands of
military forces are on the move, returning to the United States
from installations abroad as a result of the Defense
Department's global defense transformation. At the same time,
scores of other military troops and civilian personnel are
being uprooted and moved as a result of the base closures and
realignments mandated under the 2005 Base Realignment and
Closure [BRAC] round. The result of these initiatives, along
with the Army and Marine Corps ``Grow the Force'' program to
increase the end strength of those services by 92,000 new
troops, is a massive building surge by the Department of
Defense.
The fact that these moves are taking place in the midst of
the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan--which requires that combat
deployments be coordinated closely with stationing
realignments--has put great pressure on the Defense Department
to pursue an aggressive construction schedule and to ensure
that it remains on track. The Committee continues to be mindful
of the complexity of the task confronting the Defense
Department, and expects the Department to provide rigid
management and oversight of the process, and to report to and
consult with Congress on the progress of construction
associated with the various initiatives.
At $24,400,239,000 the military construction budget request
for fiscal year 2009 is a watershed for the Department. It
should be noted, however, that the majority of the recent
growth in the military construction budget is due to increased
funding for BRAC 2005, including $9,065,386,000 for fiscal year
2009; Grow the Force projects, which total $4,855,054,000; and
global realignment, which encompasses more than a billion
dollars of overseas construction projects. By contrast, the
budget request for military construction supporting the
services' traditional mission requirements has remained
relatively static over the past several years. This is of
concern to the Committee because of the potential that aging or
outdated facilities for mission requirements that are not
changing or for installations that are not transforming may get
short shrift in the budget request.
For example, the Committee notes that the budget request
for the Air National Guard--which is among the services that
provide the Nation's front line of homeland defense--is down
59.8 percent from the fiscal year 2008 budget request, and down
88 percent from the fiscal year 2008 enacted level. The
Committee believes that this is an unacceptable level of risk
in the Air Guard construction program and urges the Department
to ensure that all of the services, particularly the Guard and
reserve components, receive adequate military construction
funding to sustain and carry out their missions.
Because of the uneven emphasis among the services in
funding regular military construction requirements as opposed
to funding construction requirements resulting from global
posture moves, BRAC 2005, and the Grow the Force initiative,
the Committee has continued its practice of providing
additional funding, where indicated, to supplement the
President's budget request, with particular attention to
mission essential and quality of life facilities. Because the
military construction accounts are project based, with funding
earmarked by the President for specific projects, the
additional funding provided by the Committee is also project
specific. All major construction projects funded through the
military construction appropriations accounts are included in
the President's budget request or the services' Future Years
Defense Programs [FYDPs] and are consistent with the criteria
for additional funding for military construction projects in
section 2856 of the National Defense Authorization Act for
Fiscal Year 1995 (Public Law 103-337).
Department of Veterans Affairs: Keeping the Nation's Commitment to
America's Veterans
The Committee remains dedicated to ensuring the Department
of Veterans Affairs [VA] has the resources it needs to provide
timely and high quality services to the Nation's veterans. With
the ongoing wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Department must
be adequately positioned to assist veterans with combat-related
injuries, while maintaining high quality services for veterans
of previous eras. The VA also faces other challenges, including
aging medical infrastructure; developing next generation
information technology that will be essential to future health
care delivery and timely claims processing; and outreaching to
the new demographics of veterans.
This act provides funds to the Department of Veterans
Affairs to improve the system of health care that will meet our
veterans' needs now and in the future. The act funds
initiatives that provide greater access to care for veterans
living in rural areas of the country and Native populations by
funding new clinics; providing greater emphasis on
telemedicine; increasing the reimbursement for beneficiary
travel to medical appointments; encouraging greater
collaboration with other Federal entities and community-based
groups; and significantly increasing the amount of funds
available for the construction of new facilities, as well as
improving the condition of current hospitals and clinics. The
bill also addresses the growing needs of women veterans. With
more women choosing the military as a career, the VA must
evolve and be prepared to provide greater services for women.
Additionally, the bill provides increased funding to allow the
VA to conduct greater levels of research in areas where our
veterans are experiencing medical issues at a rate greater than
the national average, particularly physical and mental wounds
related to combat.
While the challenges that face the VA are immense, the
Committee is committed to providing the resources necessary to
enable the Department to provide the highest-possible services
to America's veterans.
TITLE I
MILITARY CONSTRUCTION
Items of Special Interest
HEARINGS
The Subcommittee on Military Construction and Veterans
Affairs and Related Agencies held two hearings related to the
fiscal year 2009 Military Construction budget request. On April
24, 2008, the subcommittee heard testimony from representatives
of the Department of Defense [DOD] and the United States Navy
concerning fiscal year 2009 budget priorities, the fiscal year
2008 global war on terror emergency supplemental request, and
base realignment and closure [BRAC]. On May 8, 2008, the
subcommittee held a hearing on the budget requests of the
United States Army and the United States Air Force concerning
fiscal year 2009 construction priorities, BRAC, and the
President's ``Grow the Force'' initiative to provide
infrastructure to accommodate planned increases in the size of
the Army.
SUMMARY OF COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS
The budget request for fiscal year 2009 reflects an
increase of $3,770,202,000 above the amount enacted in fiscal
year 2008, excluding supplemental funds.
The Committee recommends $24,744,390,000 including
rescissions. This is $344,151,000 above the budget request.
REPROGRAMMING GUIDELINES
The following reprogramming guidelines apply for all
military construction and family housing projects. A project or
account (including the sub-elements of an account) which has
been specifically reduced by the Congress in acting on the
budget request is considered to be a congressional interest
item and as such, prior approval is required. Accordingly, no
reprogrammings to an item specifically reduced below the
threshold by the Congress are permitted.
The reprogramming criteria that apply to military
construction projects (25 percent of the funded amount or
$2,000,000, whichever is less) continue to apply to new housing
construction projects and to improvements over $2,000,000. To
provide the services the flexibility to proceed with
construction contracts without disruption or delay, the costs
associated with environmental hazard remediation such as
asbestos removal, radon abatement, lead-based paint removal or
abatement, and any other legislated environmental hazard
remediation may be excluded, provided that such remediation
requirements could not be reasonably anticipated at the time of
the budget submission. This exclusion applies to projects
authorized in this budget year, as well as projects authorized
in prior years for which construction has not been completed.
Furthermore, in instances where prior approval to a
reprogramming request for a project or account has been
received from the Committee, the adjusted amount approved
becomes the new base for any future increase or decrease via
below-threshold reprogrammings (provided that the project or
account is not a congressional interest item as defined above).
In addition to these guidelines, the services are directed
to adhere to the guidance for military construction
reprogrammings and notifications, including the pertinent
statutory authorities contained in DOD Financial Management
Regulation 7000.14-R and relevant updates and policy memoranda.
REAL PROPERTY MAINTENANCE
The Committee recommends a continuation of the following
general rules for repairing a facility under ``Operation and
Maintenance'' account funding:
--Components of the facility may be repaired by replacement,
and such replacement may be up to current standards or
code.
--Interior arrangements and restorations may be included as
repair, but additions, new facilities, and functional
conversions must be performed as military construction
projects.
--Such projects may be done concurrent with repair projects,
as long as the final conjunctively funded project is a
complete and usable facility.
--The appropriate Service Secretary shall submit a 21-day
notification prior to carrying out any repair project
with an estimated cost in excess of $7,500,000.
The Department is directed to continue to report on the
real property maintenance backlog at all installations for
which there is a requested construction project in future
budget requests. This information is to be provided on the Form
1390. In addition, for all troop housing requests, the Form
1391 is to continue to show all real property maintenance
conducted in the past 2 years and all future requirements for
unaccompanied housing at that installation.
GLOBAL DEFENSE POSTURE
The Committee continues to monitor the Defense Department's
far-reaching realignment of U.S. forces and installations
overseas, an effort which encompasses personnel and bases in
the United States as well as throughout the European, Pacific,
Central, and Africa Commands. Approximately 70,000 military
personnel and 100,000 dependents are eventually slated to
return to the United States as a result of the closure and
realignment of U.S. military installations overseas. However,
these global realignments come with a significant price tag for
military construction both inside the United States and
overseas. The President's fiscal year 2009 budget request
includes $1,144,087,000 designated for specific overseas
locations, much of which is directly related to the global
posture realignment. These overseas construction costs are
associated with such initiatives as the realignment of U.S.
forces from Okinawa to Guam, the consolidation of U.S. military
bases in Germany and Italy, the expansion of U.S. military
training facilities in Eastern Europe, and the growing
footprint of the U.S. military in Southwest Asia and Africa.
Beginning in fiscal year 2004, the Committee has required
the Defense Department to prepare annual master plans for its
installations overseas to ensure that the infrastructure plans
are regularly reassessed, and revised if necessary, to reflect
any shift in requirements due to changes in the global security
environment.
Because of continued concern over the possibility of
changes to the global defense posture, the Committee extends
the requirement for the Defense Department to provide annually
updated reports on the status of the global basing initiative
to the Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress.
These reports are to be submitted with the administration's
budget submissions each year through fiscal year 2014 and
should include, at a minimum, the following elements: an
overview of the current overseas basing strategy and an
explanation of any changes to the strategy; the status of host
nation negotiations; the cost to date of implementing the
military construction elements of the strategy; an updated
estimate of the cost to complete the construction program; and
an updated timeline for implementing the strategy. These
reports shall be submitted in unclassified and, if necessary,
classified form. The timely filing of these reports is
essential to the ability of the Committee to exercise its
oversight responsibilities, and it is therefore important that
the Department adhere to the schedule and provide these reports
at the same time as the annual budget submissions.
AFRICOM.--In the report accompanying the Military
Construction, Veterans Affairs and Related Agencies
Appropriations Act, 2008, the Committee expressed grave
concerns that the Department of Defense was attempting to stand
up a new Unified Command, AFRICOM, before many critical issues
were thoroughly examined, not the least of which was the future
presence of U.S. military forces on the African continent.
Specifically, the Committee questioned whether the presence of
a U.S. military command in Africa would conflict with sensitive
U.S. diplomatic and host-nation developmental objectives.
Because of the uncertainty over where AFRICOM would be
eventually headquartered, what its infrastructure requirements
would involve, and how the host nations on the African
continent would react to the presence of the command, the
Committee recommended that the Department restrict its military
construction request for AFRICOM to expeditionary facilities
intended to support immediate operational requirements until
the new command was fully established and a more coordinated
plan could be developed.
The Defense Department has since announced that the Africa
Command will become fully operational on October 1, 2008.
However, the operational architecture of the command, including
where its headquarters will be located and how it will
implement its dual military-civilian mission, remains to be
determined. The Committee remains concerned that the Department
rushed the decision to stand up a new and uniquely structured
Unified Command without proper coordination with the Department
of State and our African partners. Therefore, the Committee
continues to recommend that all but basic expeditionary
infrastructure requirements for AFRICOM be deferred until such
time that a coordinated master plan is approved by the
Secretary of Defense that outlines the specific
responsibilities of the command, its operational doctrine and
supporting policies, as well as the required infrastructure
needs, specified by project and location. In the interim, it is
the understanding of the Committee that the infrastructure
needs of the current AFRICOM headquarters in Stuttgart,
Germany, can be met with existing facilities, and that no
permanent construction projects are required.
Guam Military Buildup.--The Committee remains concerned
about the overall cost, timing, and execution of the Defense
Department's proposed $13,000,000,000 military buildup on Guam.
The proposal, which is to be jointly financed with the
Government of Japan, is centered on the relocation of
approximately 8,000 marines and 9,000 dependents from Okinawa
to Guam, with a goal of completing the move by 2014. In
addition to the Marine buildup, U.S. Army, Navy, and Air Force
personnel, capabilities, and facilities on Guam are also being
increased. According to the Government Accountability Office
[GAO], the result of all these activities will be an increase
of approximately 176 percent in the number of military
personnel and dependents on Guam, escalating from the current
level of 14,000 to approximately 39,000. This does not factor
in the number of civilian personnel and contractors who will be
required to support the military buildup on Guam.
GAO recently reported that many key decisions associated
with the proposed military expansion on Guam have yet to be
made, including the ultimate makeup of the units to be
stationed there and the extent of the military construction
required to support such a massive buildup. GAO also reported
that DOD may intend to seek funding for military construction
projects associated with the buildup before a final
environmental impact statement is issued or the full extent of
funding and facility requirements is determined.
In testimony delivered to the Senate Committee on Energy
and Natural Resources on May 1, 2008, GAO made the following
observation: ``DOD and the Government of Guam face several
significant challenges associated with the military buildup,
including addressing funding and operational challenges and
community and infrastructure impacts, which could affect the
development and implementation of their planning efforts.
First, DOD has not identified all funding requirements and may
encounter difficulties in obtaining funding given competing
priorities within the Department. Second, DOD officials need to
address the operational and training limitations on Guam, such
as for sea and airlift capabilities, and training requirements
for thousands of marines. Third, the increase in military
personnel and their dependents on Guam and the large number of
construction workers needed to build military facilities will
create challenges for Guam's community and civilian
infrastructure.''
In an effort to clarify some of the uncertainty related to
DOD's development plans for Guam, the Secretary of Defense is
directed to provide the Committees on Appropriations of both
Houses of Congress with a list of individual construction
projects, by fiscal year, needed to complete the military
infrastructure buildup on Guam. The project list should be
provided with the President's fiscal year 2010 budget
submission and updated each year thereafter through completion
of the U.S. military buildup on Guam.
Timeliness of Reports.--The Committee has previously
expressed concern at the Department's frequent failure to
comply with deadlines for submitting mandated reports. Again in
2008, a number of reports related to major Department
initiatives were not delivered on time, if at all, nor was
notice received from the Department as to why the reports were
late or when they would be submitted. Many of these reports are
planning documents, intended to demonstrate that the Department
is adequately coordinating its many ongoing initiatives, such
as the Global Defense Posture moves, the Grow the Force
initiative, and base realignment and closure. The failure to
submit these reports contributes to the Committee's concern
that the Department may not have developed a thorough blueprint
for some of these programs prior to execution, nor adequately
considered all of the infrastructure ramifications of carrying
out significant force reorganizations while conducting two
wars. Reports that have been mandated by the Committee are
necessary to ensure proper congressional oversight and to
inform congressional decisions related to the Department's
budget requests; the failure to submit them in a timely manner
is unacceptable. The Secretary of Defense and the service
secretaries are therefore directed to submit all reports that
are currently overdue no later than 30 days after the enactment
of this act, and to assiduously comply with future reporting
deadlines. In the event that a deadline is not met, the
Department shall submit a written explanation for the failure
to deliver the report, and an expected date of delivery, no
later than 7 days after the deadline.

STRATCOM Headquarters.--The Committee understands that the
U.S. Strategic Command [STRATCOM] headquarters facility,
located at Offutt Air Force Base, Nebraska, is in a severe
state of disrepair. Electrical service and cooling system
failures, as well as flooding and fires in the headquarters
complex, have impacted STRATCOM's ability to carry out its
mission. As the lead combatant command for integration and
synchronization of the Department of Defense's efforts to
combat weapons of mass destruction, STRATCOM is essential to
our Nation's security and must have adequate, safe, and
suitable facilities to carry out its mission. The Committee
therefore has provided $10,000,000 within the Air Force
planning and design account specifically to initiate the
planning and design of a new headquarters to replace the
inadequate and failing facility at Offutt AFB. The Committee
urges the Air Force to begin design work on this facility
immediately, and to advance the project into the Future Years
Defense Program.
The Committee fully expects contracts for the following
projects to be awarded as early in fiscal year 2009 as
practical:
Logistics Readiness Center, Mountain Home Air Force Base,
Idaho.--Of the funds provided for planning and design in this
account, the Committee directs that $1,800,000 be made
available for the design of this facility.
Security Forces Building, Lackland AFB, Texas.--Of the
funds provided for planning and design in this account, the
Committee directs that $900,000 be made available for the
design of this facility.
F-22A Consolidated Munitions Maintenance, Holloman AFB, New
Mexico.--Of the funds provided for planning and design in this
account, the Committee directs that $495,000 be made available
for the design of this facility.
Missile Service Complex, F.E. Warren Air Force Base,
Wyoming.--Of the funds provided for planning and design in this
account, the Committee directs that $810,000 be made available

Centralized Administrative Processing Center, Sheppard AFB,
Texas.--Of the funds provided for planning and design in this

\1\Excludes $890,921,000 in emergency supplemental funding in Public Law

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The military construction appropriation for the Department
of Defense provides for acquisition, construction,
installation, and equipment of temporary or permanent public
works, military installations, facilities, and real property
Defense-Wide. This appropriation also provides for facilities
required as well as funds for infrastructure projects and
programs required to support bases and installations around the
world.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Committee recommends $1,688,270,000 for projects
considered within the ``Defense-Wide'' account. This amount is
$88,866,000 above the fiscal year 2008 enacted level, and
$95,728,000 below the budget request. Further detail of the
Committee's recommendation is provided in the State table at
the end of this report.
European Missile Defense.--The Committee has provided full
funding as requested for the European Midcourse Radar Site to
be located in the Czech Republic, and has provided the
requested level of funding for site development for the
European Interceptor Site planned for Poland. The Committee
restricts the obligation of those funds until the parliaments
of Poland and the Czech Republic have ratified any missile
defense agreements with the United States related to the
deployment of the system.
The Committee notes that the proposed European missile
defense system is intended to be of mutual benefit to the
United States and its NATO allies, but the Department has not
sought NATO funding to pay for any portion of the construction
costs. The Committee, therefore, directs the Department to file
a precautionary prefinancing request for funding through the
NATO Security Investment Program Fund [NSIP], and to report
back to the Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of
Congress within 60 days of enactment of this act on the actions
taken to obtain NATO cost sharing for the two projects. The
Department is to include in that report an updated construction
timetable and cost estimate, and a report on the status of
concluding a memorandum of understanding between the Missile
Defense Agency and the Corps of Engineers regarding executive
oversight of construction for the projects.
CONTINGENCY CONSTRUCTION
The Committee has provided $10,000,000 for the Secretary of
Defense ``Contingency Construction'' account. This account
provides funds which may be used by the Secretary of Defense
for unforeseen facility requirements and military exercises,
including those related to the global war on terror.
ENERGY CONSERVATION INVESTMENT PROGRAM
The Committee recommends $160,000,000 for the Energy
Conservation Investment Program [ECIP]. This amount is
$80,000,000 above the budget request. ECIP has proven to be one
of the Department's most effective programs in promoting energy
conservation and investment in renewable energy resources,
including wind, solar, geothermal, waste-to-energy, and
biomass, at U.S. military installations. The Committee strongly
supports the Department's energy conservation objectives, but
believes that a more aggressive and broad-based program, with
an increased emphasis on applying renewable energy resources to
enhance energy security at military installations, is
warranted. Heightened concerns over the vulnerability of the
power grid in the United States have underscored the need for
the Department to increase its reliance on independently
generated renewable energy resources and to make its
installations as energy self-sufficient as possible.
The Committee understands that the military services are
working to increase energy efficiency and renewable energy on
at least 35 bases and clusters of installations. With
sufficient funding, this initiative could produce earlier and
more mission critical results. The Committee recommendation
provides an additional $80,000,000 over the President's budget
request for ECIP to be used to assess the risk that power
disruptions pose to military installations and critical mission
activities, and to develop plans, programs, and/or
demonstration projects that use renewable energy resources to
mitigate risk to task critical assets and promote energy
efficiency and independence at military installations.
The Committee recognizes that energy security for mission
critical assets is a cross service concern, and therefore
directs the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the
Joint Chiefs of Staff, to provide an expenditure plan for the
additional ECIP funding to the Committees on Appropriations of
both Houses of Congress no later than January 30, 2009.

properties when the government assumes mortgages; and
administrative expenses.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Committee recommends $4,500,000 for the Homeowners
Assistance Fund. This amount is $4,500,000 above the fiscal
year 2008 enacted level and equal to the budget request.
Chemical Demilitarization Construction, Defense-Wide
Appropriations, 2008.................................... $104,176,000
Budget estimate, 2009................................... 134,278,000
Committee recommendation................................ 144,278,000
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
This account provides funding for design and construction
of full-scale chemical disposal facilities and associated
projects to upgrade installation support facilities and
infrastructure required to support the Chemical
Demilitarization Program. This account was established starting
in fiscal year 2005 to comply with section 141(b) of the fiscal
year 2003 National Defense Authorization Act.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Committee recommends $144,278,000 for chemical
demilitarization construction projects, an increase of
$40,102,000 above the fiscal year 2008 enacted level and
$10,000,000 above the President's budget request.
The Committee continues to urge the Department to take all
necessary and appropriate steps to dispose of the U.S. chemical
weapons stockpile by the 2012 Chemical Weapons Convention
deadline and, under no circumstances, later than 2017
consistent with section 8119 of Public Law 110-116. In light of
the need for the Department to carry out its mission promptly
and safely it will need to provide close oversight over the
execution of contracts at the chemical demilitarization sites
to ensure funds are spent prudently and efficiently. The
Committee will continue to monitor closely the Department's
compliance with both deadlines.
Base Closure Account 1990
Appropriations, 2008.................................... $295,689,000
Budget estimate, 2009................................... 393,377,000
Committee recommendation................................ 468,377,000
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The base closure appropriation (1990) provides for clean up
and disposal of property consistent with the four closure
rounds required by the base closure Acts of 1988 and 1990.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Committee recommends a total of $468,377,000 for the
Base Closure Account 1990. This is $172,688,000 above the
fiscal year 2008 enacted level and $75,000,000 above the
President's budget request.
The Committee remains concerned about the backlog of
environmental remediation activities required to complete the
cleanup of U.S. military installations closed during previous
BRAC rounds. The most recent estimate of the cost to complete
the cleanup of these bases is approximately $3,000,000,000. The
Committee recognizes that lengthy delays in completing
environmental cleanup at shuttered bases hamper the ability of
communities to put valuable property to economically and
socially productive uses, and believes that more robust funding
for the BRAC 1990 account will help to accelerate the cleanup
and reuse of these bases. The additional funding above the
President's budget request provided by the Committee for this
account includes $20,000,000 for the Army, $40,000,000 for the
Navy, and $15,000,000 for the Air Force.
BASE CLOSURE ACCOUNT 1990 ENVIRONMENTAL OVERVIEW
From fiscal year 1990 through fiscal year 2008, a total of
$24,006,522,000 has been appropriated for the environmental
clean up of military installations closed or realigned under
prior BRAC rounds. The total amount appropriated for BRAC 1990,
combined with the Committee recommendation for fiscal year
2009, is $24,474,899,000.
In appropriating these funds, the Committee continues to
provide the Department with broad flexibility to allocate funds
by service, function, and installation. The following table
displays the total amount appropriated for each round of base
closure, including amounts recommended for fiscal year 2009 for
BRAC 1990.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The base realignment and closure appropriation for 2005
provides for clean up and disposal of property consistent with
the 2005 closure round required by the Defense Base Closure and
Realignment Act of 1990 (10 U.S.C. section 2687 note).
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Committee recommends a total of $8,891,700,000 for the
Department of Defense Base Closure Account 2005. This amount is
$1,756,109,000 above the fiscal year 2008 enacted level,
excluding emergency supplemental funding, and $73,686,000 below
the budget request.
The following chart details projects to be carried out
using BRAC 2005 funding. Given the magnitude of this effort,
and the number and scope of military construction projects
associated with it, the Committee is concerned that the
projected construction cost of individual projects planned
under the BRAC 2005 program may escalate from the original
estimate due to market conditions and other variables. The
Committee therefore directs that any above-threshold cost or
scope variation, any cancellation of projects, or any transfer
of funds among construction projects associated with the BRAC
2005 projects identified in the table following this narrative
be subject to the standard reprogramming and notification
requirements that apply to the regular military construction
appropriation.

TITLE II
DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS
Items of Special Interest
HEARINGS
The subcommittee on Military Construction and Veterans
Affairs and Related Affairs held one hearing related to the
fiscal year 2009 Department of Veterans Affairs [VA] budget
request on April 10, 2008. The subcommittee heard testimony
from the Honorable James Peake, M.D., Secretary of the
Department of Veterans Affairs, concerning the VA's budget
request for fiscal year 2009.
Additionally, on May 1, 2008, the subcommittee held a joint
hearing with the subcommittee on Transportation, Housing and
Urban Development related to homeless veteran programs
administered by the Department of Veterans Affairs and the
Department of Housing and Urban Development.
SUMMARY OF COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Committee recommends $94,792,750,000 for the Department
of Veterans Affairs, including $46,742,925,000 in mandatory
spending and $48,049,825,000 in discretionary spending. The
amount provided for discretionary activities represents an
increase of $4,941,933,000 above the fiscal year 2008 enacted
level, excluding emergency supplemental funding contained in
Public Law 110-252, and an increase of $3,285,693,000 above the
budget request.
DEPARTMENT OVERVIEW
The Veterans Administration was established as an
independent agency by Executive Order 5398 of July 21, 1930, in
accordance with the Act of July 3, 1930 (46 Stat. 1016). This
act authorized the President to consolidate and coordinate
Federal agencies especially created for or concerned with the
administration of laws providing benefits to veterans,
including the Veterans' Bureau, the Bureau of Pensions, and the
National Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers. On March 15,
1989, the Veterans Administration was elevated to Cabinet-level
status as the Department of Veterans Affairs [VA].
The VA's mission is to serve America's veterans and their
families as their principal advocate in ensuring they receive
the care, support, and recognition they have earned in service
to the Nation. On September 30, 2007, there were an estimated
23.5 million living veterans, with 23.4 million of them
residing in the United States and Puerto Rico. There were an
estimated 35.9 million dependents (spouses and dependent
children) of living veterans in the United States and Puerto
Rico. There were over 536,000 survivors of deceased veterans
receiving VA survivor benefits in the United States and Puerto
Rico. Thus, more than 59.9 million people, or 19.6 percent of
the total estimated resident population of the United States
and Puerto Rico, were recipients, or potential recipients, of
veterans benefits from the Federal Government. The VA's
operating units include the Veterans Benefits Administration,
Veterans Health Administration, National Cemetery
Administration, and staff support offices.
The Veterans Benefits Administration [VBA] provides an
integrated program of non-medical veterans benefits. The VBA
administers a broad range of benefits to veterans and other
eligible beneficiaries through 57 regional offices and the
records processing center in St. Louis, Missouri. The benefits
provided include: compensation for service-connected
disabilities; pensions for wartime, needy, and totally disabled
veterans; vocational rehabilitation assistance; educational and
training assistance; home buying assistance; estate protection
services for veterans under legal disability; information and
assistance through personalized contacts; and six life
insurance programs.
The Veterans Health Administration [VHA] develops,
maintains, and operates a national health care delivery system
for eligible veterans; carries out a program of education and
training of health care personnel; carries out a program of
medical research and development; and furnishes health services
to members of the Armed Forces during periods of war or
national emergency. A system of 155 hospitals, 1,089 outpatient
clinics, 135 nursing homes, and 50 VA residential
rehabilitation treatment programs is maintained to meet the
VA's medical mission.
The National Cemetery Administration [NCA] provides for the
interment of the remains of eligible deceased service members
and discharged veterans in any national cemetery with available
grave space; permanently maintains these graves; provides
headstones and markers for the graves of eligible persons in
national and private cemeteries; administers the grant program
for aid to States in establishing, expanding, or improving
State veterans' cemeteries; and provides certificates to
families of deceased veterans recognizing the veterans'
contributions and service to the Nation. The National Cemetery
Administration includes 164 cemeterial installations and
activities.
Other VA offices include the General Counsel, Office of
Inspector General, Boards of Contract Appeals and Veterans
Appeals, and the general administration, which supports the
Secretary, Deputy Secretary, Under Secretary for Benefits,
Under Secretary for Health, and the Under Secretary for
Memorial Affairs.
Medical Services and Medical Administration.--The
Department's fiscal year 2009 budget request proposes merging
the Medical services account and the Medical administration
account. The Committee concurs with this recommendation. Prior
to the establishment of the three medical care appropriations
accounts in 2004 (Medical services, Medical administration, and
Medical facilities), a medical facility director was allocated
a single budget that could be used to address local operational
priorities related to the care of veterans as needed. For
example, funds could be used to address critical vacancies in
nurse staffing or security personnel, patient scheduling, or
medical collections functions as the need arose. All of these
functions are critical to the successful care and treatment of
the patient.
The current account structure constrains the ability of
medical center directors to assure an appropriate balance of
clinical and operational staffing. For example, a director may
need to hire additional clinical staff which is paid from the
Medical services account. To accommodate the additional
clinical staff, the director may need to increase support staff
to conduct quality assurance or perform medical coding, which
is paid from the Medical administration account. If sufficient
funding is not available in the Medical administration account
at the facility, the director cannot shift funding from the
other medical care appropriations to support this function. By
combining the two appropriations, the facility director could
immediately hire additional clinical staff and the appropriate
supporting staff without seeking a realignment of funds from VA
headquarters.
The Committee understands the rationale for having separate
accounts to ensure proper oversight. However, the current
account structure has created bureaucratic confusion at the
medical center level often slowing effective delivery of health
care. In order to provide the needed flexibility to medical
center directors while ensuring proper oversight, the Committee
recommends consolidating the Medical services and Medical
administration accounts, but includes new reporting
requirements to allow the Committee to effectively monitor
administrative functions.
Legislative Initiatives.--The Committee is pleased to note
that the VA did not predicate its fiscal year 2009 budget
request on a proposal to impose new fees and increased co-
payments on veterans for medical services and prescription
medicines. This is an issue which is clearly in the purview of
the authorizing committee, and is not an appropriations issue.
The Committee has repeatedly denied such budget assumptions in
the past and commends the VA for following its guidance in
developing the fiscal year 2009 budget request, which assumes
no revenue from fees that have not been passed into law.
Medical Facilities.--The Committee remains committed to
providing the VA the resources it needs to recapitalize its
aging medical facilities and infrastructure, modernize existing
facilities, and ensure that life safety requirements are met
throughout VA medical facilities. Over the past 2 fiscal years,
the Committee has provided the Department more than
$2,300,000,000 above the requested levels for major
construction, minor construction, and non-recurring
maintenance. However, the President's budget request for fiscal
year 2009 has not built upon these investments and instead
continues to underfund VA medical facilities. The President's
request proposes to cut funding for major construction, despite
the fact that the VA's 5-Year Capital Plan shows a need of
slightly over $5,500,000,000 in major capital projects. The
budget request also proposes to reduce funding for minor
construction, despite an aging infrastructure that, according
to the VA's Facilities Condition Assessment, encompasses almost
$6,000,000,000 worth of code deficiencies. The Committee is
pleased to note that the VA is obligating the additional funds
that Congress has provided, but is disheartened that the
President did not adequately address capital needs in his
fiscal year 2009 request. Therefore, the Committee
recommendation includes an additional $1,336,165,000 over the
President's budget request for major and minor construction and
non-recurring maintenance needs in fiscal year 2009.
Services for Women Veterans.--The Committee remains
dedicated to ensuring that the emerging needs of women veterans
are met, and is committed to working with the Department to
refine its programs, services, and outreach efforts in order to
inform women veterans of their eligibility status and improve
their access to services. The percentage of women veterans
receiving care from the VA is expected to double in the next 5
years, with women combat veterans making up a large portion of
the increase. The Committee recommendation includes an
additional $5,000,000 for outreach and transitional assistance
for women veterans.
The Committee is pleased that the Department has begun to
address the unique needs of women veterans with the
establishment of the Center for Women Veterans and the Advisory
Committee on Women Veterans, and encourages the Department to
continue its ongoing study of women's issues and to expand
outreach to women veterans to ensure they are aware of the
benefits they have earned.
To better prepare for the anticipated surge of women
veterans seeking health care from the VA, the Committee urges
the Department to conduct a comprehensive assessment of the
needs of women veterans, with a focus on specialized programs,
including women veterans with post traumatic stress disorder,
women who are homeless, women who require care for mental
illness, sexual trauma, or substance abuse, and women who
require prenatal care. Additionally, the Committee encourages
the Department to create a certification program for clinicians
working with victims of sexual trauma and to join with the
Institute of Medicine, or a comparable organization, to conduct
a study on the health consequences of women veterans serving in
the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Veterans Benefits Administration
Appropriations, 2008.................................... $44,642,822,000
Budget estimate, 2009................................... 46,155,162,000
Committee recommendation................................ 46,901,162,000
ADMINISTRATION OVERVIEW
The Veterans Benefits Administration [VBA] is responsible
for the payment of compensation and pension benefits to
eligible ser-
vice-connected disabled veterans. This administration also
provides education benefits and housing loan guarantees.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Committee recommends $46,901,162,000 for the Veterans
Benefits Administration. This amount is composed of
$43,111,681,000 for ``Compensation and pensions'';
$3,832,944,000 for ``Readjustment benefits''; $42,300,000 for
``Veterans insurance and indemnities''; $2,000,000 for the
``Veterans housing benefit program fund'', with $246,000,000 in
credit subsidies and $157,210,000 for administrative expenses;
$61,000 for the ``Vocational rehabilitation loans program
account'' and $320,000 for administrative expenses; and
$646,000 for the ``Native American veteran housing loan program
account''.
COMPENSATION AND PENSIONS
(INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)
Appropriations, 2008.................................... $41,236,322,000
Budget estimate, 2009................................... 43,111,681,000
Committee recommendation................................ 43,111,681,000
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Compensation is payable to living veterans who have
suffered impairment of earning power from service-connected
disabilities. The amount of compensation is based upon the
impact of disabilities on a veteran's earning capacity. Death
compensation or dependency and indemnity compensation is
payable to the surviving spouses and dependents of veterans
whose deaths occur while on active duty or result from service-
connected disabilities. A clothing allowance may also be
provided for service-connected veterans who use a prosthetic or
orthopedic device.
Pensions are an income security benefit payable to needy
wartime veterans who are precluded from gainful employment due
to non-service-connected disabilities which render them
permanently and totally disabled. Public law 107-103, the
Veterans Education and Benefits Expansion Act of 2001, restored
the automatic presumption of permanent and total non-service
connected disability for purposes of awarding a pension to
veterans age 65 and older, subject to the income limitations
that apply to all pensioners. Death pensions are payable to
needy surviving spouses and children of deceased wartime
veterans. The rate payable for both disability and death
pensions is determined on the basis of the annual income of the
veteran or their survivors.
Claims Processing.--The Committee remains concerned with
the time it takes the VA to efficiently process a veteran's
disability claim. Through May 2008, the average days it took to
process a claim was 182, and the pending backlog of claims
stood at 390,000. Since 2000, VBA has experienced a steady
increase in the number and complexity of disability claims
filed. In fact, disability claims increased by 45 percent from
2000 to 2007. The Committee is committed to providing the VA
with the resources it needs to expedite the processing of these
claims. For fiscal year 2009, the Committee recommends for
VBA's General operating expense account an additional
$70,000,000 above the President's budget request. Additionally,
the Committee is aware that the VA has initiated special near-
term workload and inventory reduction initiatives and directs
the Department to report to the Committees on Appropriations of
both House of Congress no later than December 31, 2008, on
these initiatives and the impacts they have had in reducing the
average waiting time and the pending backlog of claims.
Additionally, the Committee is concerned that the VA has
not moved quickly enough to develop or acquire new technology
that would allow the Department to more efficiently process
claims. The Committee directs the VA to submit a report to the
Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress no
later than January 23, 2009, detailing what steps the VA has
taken to modernize claims processing information technology
infrastructure and the current plan to leverage technology to
create a more efficient and veteran-friendly system.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Committee recommends $43,111,681,000 for ``Compensation
and pensions''. This is an increase of $1,875,359,000 above the
fiscal year 2008 enacted level and the same as the budget
request. The amount includes funds for a projected fiscal year
2009 cost-of-living increase of 2.5 percent for all disability
compensation beneficiaries and pension recipients.
The appropriation includes $26,798,000 in payments to the
``General operating expenses'', ``Medical services'', and
``Information technology systems'' accounts for expenses
related to implementing provisions of the Omnibus Budget
Reconciliation Act of 1990, the Veterans' Benefits Act of 1992,
the Veterans' Benefits Improvements Act of 1994, and the
Veterans' Benefits Improvements Act of 1996.
READJUSTMENT BENEFITS
Appropriations, 2008.................................... $3,300,289,000

Committee recommendation\1\............................. 3,832,944,000
\1\Includes $746,000,000 for increased educational benefits provided in
Public Law 110-252.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The ``Readjustment benefits'' appropriation finances the
education and training of veterans and service members whose
initial entry into active duty took place on or after July 1,
1985. These benefits are included in the All-Volunteer Force
Educational Assistance Program (Montgomery GI bill) authorized
under 38 U.S.C. section 30. Eligibility to receive this
assistance began in 1987. Basic benefits are funded through
appropriations made to the readjustment benefits appropriation
and transfers from the Department of Defense. This account also
finances vocational rehabilitation, specially adapted housing
grants, automobile grants with the associated approved adaptive
equipment for certain disabled veterans, and educational
assistance allowances for eligible dependents of those veterans
who died from service-connected causes or have a total
permanent service-connected disability, as well as dependents
of service members who were captured or missing in action.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Committee recommends $3,832,944,000 for ``Readjustment
benefits''. This is an increase of $532,655,000 above the
fiscal year 2008 enacted level and $746,000,000 above the
budget request.
VETERANS INSURANCE AND INDEMNITIES
Appropriations, 2008.................................... $41,250,000

insurance, applicable to World War I veterans; National Service
Life Insurance, applicable to certain World War II veterans;
Servicemen's indemnities, applicable to Korean conflict
veterans; and veterans mortgage life insurance to individuals
who have received a grant for specially adapted housing.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Committee recommends $42,300,000 for ``Veterans
insurance and indemnities''. This is an increase of $1,050,000
above the fiscal year 2008 enacted level and the same as the
budget request. The Department estimates there will be
7,087,725 policies in force in fiscal year 2009 with a value of
$1,084,862,000,000.

housing loans, as well as the administrative expenses to carry
out these programs.
VA loan guaranties are made to service members, veterans,
reservists and unremarried surviving spouses for the purchase
of homes, condominiums, manufactured homes and for refinancing
loans. VA guarantees part of the total loan, permitting the
purchaser to obtain a mortgage with a competitive interest
rate, even without a downpayment, if the lender agrees. The VA
requires that a downpayment be made for a manufactured home.
With a VA guaranty, the lender is protected against loss up to
the amount of the guaranty if the borrower fails to repay the
loan.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Committee recommends such sums as may be necessary for
funding subsidy payments, estimated to total $2,000,000; and
$157,210,000 for administrative expenses for fiscal year 2009.
Bill language limits gross obligations for direct loans for
specially-adapted housing to $500,000.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
This appropriation covers the funding subsidy cost of
direct loans for vocational rehabilitation of eligible veterans
and, in addition, it includes administrative expenses necessary
to carry out the direct loan program. Loans of up to $1,041
(based on the indexed chapter 31 subsistence allowance rate)
are currently available to service-connected disabled veterans
enrolled in vocational rehabilitation programs, as provided
under 38 U.S.C. chapter 31, when the veteran is temporarily in
need of additional assistance. Repayment is made in 10 monthly
installments, without interest, through deductions from future
payments of compensation, pension, subsistence allowance,
educational assistance allowance, or retirement pay. Virtually
all loans are repaid in full and most in less than 1 year.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Committee recommends $61,000 for program costs and
$320,000 for administrative expenses for the ``Vocational
rehabilitation loans program account''. The administrative
expenses may be transferred to and merged with the ``General
operating expenses'' account. Bill language is included
limiting program direct loans to $3,180,000. It is estimated
that the VA will make 4,021 loans in fiscal year 2009, with an
average amount of $791.
NATIVE AMERICAN VETERAN HOUSING LOAN PROGRAM ACCOUNT
Appropriations, 2008.................................... $628,000
Budget estimate, 2009................................... 646,000
Committee recommendation................................ 646,000
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The Native American Veteran Housing Loan Program is
authorized by 38 U.S.C. chapter 37, section 3761 to provide
direct loans to Native American veterans living on trust lands.
The loans are available to purchase, construct, or improve
homes to be occupied as veteran residences. The principal
amount of a loan under this authority is limited to the Federal
Home Loan Mortgage Corporation's single-family conventional
conforming loan limit. Veterans pay a funding fee of 1.25
percent of the loan amount but veterans with service-connected
disability are exempt from paying the fee. Before a direct loan
can be made, the veteran's tribal organization must sign a
memorandum of understanding with the VA regarding the terms and
conditions of the loan. The Native American Veteran Housing
Loan Program began as a pilot program in 1993 and was made
permanent by Public Law 109-233, the Veterans Housing
Opportunity and Benefits Act of 2006.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Committee recommends $646,000 for administrative
expenses associated with this program. This is $18,000 above
the fiscal year 2008 enacted level and the same as the budget
request.
GUARANTEED TRANSITIONAL HOUSING LOANS FOR HOMELESS VETERANS PROGRAM
ACCOUNT
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
This program was established by Public Law 105-368, the
Veterans Programs Enhancement Act of 1998. The program is a
pilot project designed to expand the supply of transitional
housing for homeless veterans and to guarantee up to 15 loans
with a maximum aggregate value of $100,000,000. The project
must enforce sobriety standards and provide a wide range of
supportive services such as counseling for substance abuse and
development of job readiness skills.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
All funds authorized for the ``Guaranteed transitional
housing loans for homeless veterans program account'' have been
appropriated. Therefore, additional appropriations are not
required. Administrative expenses of the program, limited to
$750,000 for fiscal year 2009, will be borne by the ``Medical
services'' and ``General operating expenses'' accounts.
Veterans Health Administration
Appropriations, 2008.................................... $37,201,220,000
Budget estimate, 2009................................... 39,178,503,000
Committee recommendation................................ 41,078,232,000
ADMINISTRATION OVERVIEW
The Department of Veterans Affairs operates the largest
Federal medical care delivery system in the country, with 155
hospitals, 50 VA residential rehabilitation treatment programs,
135 nursing homes, and 1,089 outpatient clinics, which include
independent, satellite, community-based, and rural outreach
clinics.
The Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Care Collections
Fund [MCCF] was established by the Balanced Budget Act of 1997
(Public Law 105-33). In fiscal year 2004, Public Law 108-199
allowed the Department to deposit first-party and
pharmaceutical co-payments; third-party insurance payments and
enhanced use collections; long-term care co-payments;
Compensated Work Therapy Program collections; Compensation and
Pension Living Expenses Program collections; and Parking
Program fees into the MCCF.
The Parking Program provides funds for the construction,
alteration, and acquisition (by purchase or lease) of parking
garages at VA medical facilities authorized by 38 U.S.C.
section 8109. The Secretary is required under certain
circumstances to establish and collect fees for the use of such
garages and parking facilities. Receipts from the parking fees
are to be deposited into the MCCF and are used for medical
services activities.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Committee recommends $41,078,232,000 for the Veterans
Health Administration, without collections. This amount is
composed of $35,590,432,000 for Medical services;
$4,961,000,000 for Medical facilities; and $526,800,000 for
Medical and prosthetic research. Medical care collections are
expected to be $2,544,000,000. Therefore, VHA will have total
resources of $43,622,232,000, plus any carryover from fiscal
year 2008, available in fiscal year 2009.
AREAS OF INTEREST
DOD-VA Health Care Resource Sharing.--The Committee
continues to believe that the Department of Defense and the
Department of Veterans Affairs should explore opportunities for
sharing resources in a way that improves care for service
members who are transitioning from DOD to VA care. As part of
this effort, the Committee encourages the VA to survey
opportunities for increased collaboration and resource sharing
with DOD at military installations, including Fort Carson,
Colorado.
VA Nursing Academy.--The Committee commends the VA for
addressing the nursing shortage through the Veterans Affairs
Nursing Academy. This 5-year pilot program is designed to
establish partnerships with competitively selected nursing
schools to expand the number of teaching faculty in VA
facilities and affiliated nursing schools in order to increase
student enrollment in baccalaureate nursing programs. The
Committee also urges the VA to continue its collaboration with
the Department of Defense through the Uniformed Services
University of the Health Services [USUHS] by providing nurse
faculty and nursing students in the graduate nursing education
programs.
Advanced Nursing Education.--The Committee urges the VA, in
conjunction with accredited schools of nursing, to explore the
development of a fast track doctoral training program which
would facilitate completion of a doctorate [Ph.D.] in nursing
by qualified nurses employed within the VA network who possess
a bachelor of science in nursing.
National Veterans Wheelchair Games.--The Committee
understands that Spokane, Washington, has been selected as the
host of the 2009 National Veterans Wheelchair Games. The
Wheelchair Games are a multi-event sports and rehabilitation
program for military service veterans who use wheelchairs for
sports competition due to spinal cord injuries, amputations, or
certain neurological problems. The Committee believes that the
programs and activities that constitute the National Veterans
Wheelchair Games are central to the rehabilitation, health
promotion, and prevention of secondary medical conditions and
encourages the VA to continue its work in this regard.
Caregiver Assistance.--The Committee is aware of the
increasing toll that the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan are
taking on the family members of veterans. The Committee
recognizes that the VA lacks statutory authority to treat
family members of veterans and that the programs that exist to
counsel and train them in their new roles as caregivers remain
limited. The Committee urges the VA to increase its efforts to
expand outreach and services to families caring for injured
veterans.
Energy Efficiency and Air Quality.--The Committee
encourages the Department to implement programs to monitor and
improve both energy efficiency and air quality. As new
construction progresses on hospitals and improvements are made
to existing buildings, the Department should be exploring cost-
effective ways to optimize energy use and air quality.
Pharmaceutical Waste Disposal.--Proper disposal of
pharmaceutical waste is essential in protecting public health.
The Committee is concerned about recent published reports
regarding the discovery of trace amounts of medications,
including antibiotics, in the drinking water of certain U.S.
cities. The Committee notes that no VA hospitals have been
identified as a source of these pollutants, but wants to ensure
that pharmaceutical waste is properly tracked and disposed of
at VA medical centers. The Resource Conservation and Recovery
Act regulates the manner in which hazardous hospital waste is
disposed. The Committee directs the Department to report to the
Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress no
later than 90 days from enactment of this act on the VA policy
in place to dispose of pharmaceutical waste. Additionally, the
Committee encourages the VA to study the feasibility of
developing a pilot program in a minimum of three VISNs to
explore efficient ways, including manual disposal and potential
automated solutions, to eliminate the potential hazard of
wrongful disposal of pharmaceutical waste. The VA is directed
to report to the Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of
Congress by February 15, 2009, on any steps taken to implement
such a pilot program.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The Medical services appropriation combines into one
account programs and funding previously appropriated under
separate Medical services and Medical administration accounts.
The Medical services account provides for medical services
of enrolled eligible veterans and certain dependent
beneficiaries in VA medical centers, outpatient clinic
facilities, contract hospitals, State homes, and outpatient
programs on a fee basis. Hospital and outpatient care is also
provided by the private sector for certain dependents and
survivors of veterans under the civilian health and medical
programs for the VA.
This account also provides funds for the expenses of
management, security, and administration of the VA health care
system. This appropriation provides for costs associated with
the operation of the VA medical centers; other facilities; and
VHA headquarters, plus the costs of Veterans Integrated Service
Network [VISN] offices and facility director offices; chief of
staff operations; quality of care oversight; legal services;
billing and coding activities; procurement; financial
management; and human resource management.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Committee concurs with the administration's request to
merge the Medical services and Medical administration accounts.
The Committee recommendation reflects this change for fiscal
year 2009. The Committee recommends $35,590,432,000 for
``Medical services''. This amount is an increase of
$6,486,212,000 over the fiscal year 2008 enacted level, and
$1,514,929,000 above the budget request. In addition, the VA
has the authority to retain co-payments and third-party
collections, estimated to total $2,544,000,000 in fiscal year
2009.
The Committee has included bill language to make available
through September 30, 2010, up to $1,850,000,000 of the
``Medical services'' appropriation. This provides flexibility
to the Department of Veterans Affairs as it continues to
implement significant program changes.
The bill includes language to allow for the transfer of
$15,000,000 to the DOD/VA Health Care Sharing Incentive Fund.
The Fund provides a mechanism for the DOD and VA to increase
their resource sharing activities to achieve cost effective use
of health care services.
Rural Health Initiative.--According to the Department of
Veterans Affairs, almost 38 percent of veterans currently
enrolled in the VA system reside in either a rural area (as
defined by the U.S. Census) or a highly rural area (a rural
area within a county with less than seven civilians per square
mile). As a result of this, Congress enacted Public Law 109-
461, the Veterans Benefits, Health Care and Information
Technology Act of 2006. Section 212 mandated the establishment
of the Office of Rural Health [ORH]. The mission of the ORH is
to improve access and quality of care for enrolled rural
veterans by developing evidenced-based policies and innovative
practices to support the unique needs of veterans residing in
geographically rural areas. The Committee is pleased with the
efforts made by the Department through the ORH, but believes
more can be done.
To this end, the Committee recommendation includes
$250,000,000 for a new initiative, to be implemented in
coordination with ORH, aimed at reducing the gap in care that
often exists for veterans residing in rural areas and veterans
from Native American populations. The rural health initiative
will allow the Secretary to explore new ways of serving these
populations and will provide the Department the resources and
the latitude to fund initiatives, such as, but not limited to,
increasing mobile clinics; establishing new outpatient clinics;
expanding fee based care in areas not served by VA facilities;
exploring collaboration with other Federal or community
providers (such as the Indian Health Service, Community Mental
Health and Health Centers, or other community-based
organizations); accelerating deployment of telemedicine; and
funding innovative pilot and demonstration programs. The
Committee has included this funding in addition to the increase
for Medical services in order to ensure that the level of
medical care available for all veterans is not adversely
affected. To assist the VA in implementing this new initiative,
the Committee has also increased by $250,000,000 above the
budget request the Department's availability of funding through
September 30, 2010. Additionally, in order to provide greater
flexibility in administering the initiative, the Department is
reminded that reprogramming authority applies to the Medical
services account. The Committee directs the Department to track
this funding separately and report quarterly, by VISN, on the
initiatives funded under this new program.
Health Care Income Threshold.--In January 2003, the VA
suspended health care enrollment for new Priority 8 veterans
whose income exceeded a certain level. After 5 years, the ban
remains in place. Currently, a veteran making as little as
$28,430 a year could be excluded from enrolling in the VA's
health care system, based on income. The Committee has
consistently deferred to the committees of jurisdiction on the
issue of lifting the ban. However, given the skyrocketing cost
of health care and the steep downturn in the economy, the
Committee is very concerned that the income threshold is too
low and encompasses too many veterans facing economic hardship.
The Committee understands that if the VA health care system
were to be opened to additional Priority 8 veterans, the
Department would prefer an incremental approach as opposed to
lifting the ban entirely, which could overwhelm the VA's
ability to absorb the increased patient load. The VA believes
that an incremental approach would give the Department time to
budget adequately for direct medical service needs, as well as
for infrastructure improvements to build physical capacity.
Until such time as the appropriate legislation can be enacted
to adequately deal with the suspension of Priority 8 veterans,
the Committee has included $350,000,000 within Medical services
for the Department to raise the income threshold to an amount
commensurate with the increased level of funding. Additionally,
the Committee directs the Secretary to include cost estimates
for annually raising the income threshold as part of the fiscal
year 2010 budget request.
Account Consolidation Reporting Requirement.--The Committee
concurs with the Department's proposal to consolidate the
``Medical services'' account and the ``Medical administration''
account. However, to continue proper oversight, the Department
is directed to provide the Committee bi-annually a report
tracking the costs associated with the current medical
administration functions. Additionally, the Committee directs
the Department to include in future budget submissions those
functions formerly funded by medical administration as a sub-
function within the ``Medical services'' account.
Homeless Veterans.--According to the Department of Veterans
Affairs, on any given night about 154,000 veterans are
homeless. On May 1, 2008, the Committee held a hearing to
address the issue of homelessness among the veteran population.
The goal of the hearing was to approach the issue in a
comprehensive manner. Thus the Committee heard testimony from
the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Department of
Housing and Urban Development, as well as experts from the
housing and veteran community. The Committee remains supportive
of the VA's homeless programs and has included an additional
$30,000,000 to increase the number of caseworkers and personnel
for the Housing and Urban Development-Veterans Affairs
Supportive Housing Program to accommodate the increase in
section 8 vouchers.
The Committee is aware that the Senate Transportation,
Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies
appropriations bill, 2009, included $10,000,000 for the
Department of Housing and Urban Development to create a
demonstration program to test methods of homeless prevention
among the veteran population. As part of this demonstration
program, the Department of Housing and Urban Development has
been directed to coordinate with the Department of Veterans
Affairs and the Department of Labor. The Committee directs the
VA to dedicate at least $5,000,000 for caseworkers for the
demonstration program.
The Committee recommendation also includes an increase of
$8,000,000 above the President's request for the VA's Homeless
Grant and Per Diem Program, bringing the funding to the fully
authorized level of $130,000,000. However, the Committee is
aware that legislation is currently pending before Congress
that would raise the authorization level for this program to
$200,000,000. Should this legislation pass, the Department is
directed to increase funding for the Homeless Grant and Per
Diem program to the fully authorized level. Additionally, the
Committee recommendation includes an additional $10,000,000
above the President's request for Homeless Grants and Per Diem
Program Liaisons.
Beneficiary Travel Mileage Reimbursement.--In fiscal year
2008, the Committee provided $125,000,000 for the VA to
increase the mileage reimbursement for veterans to 28.5 cents
per mile. The Committee commends the Department for following
Congress' lead and utilizing the funding provided to raise the
mileage rate. However, with the price of gasoline continuing to
hit record high levels, the Committee believes that further
increases are warranted. Therefore, the Committee has included
an additional $138,000,000 to raise the mileage reimbursement
rate to 50.5 cents per mile, which bring the VA's rate into
conformity with the General Services Administration's rate for
Federal employees.
Blind Rehabilitation Service/Military Eye Injury Center of
Excellence.--The mission of the Blind Rehabilitation Service is
to assist blind and visually impaired veterans in the
development of skills needed for personal independence and
successful integration into the community and family
environment. These services include inpatient and outpatient
blind and vision rehabilitation programs, adjustment
counseling, patient and family education, and assistive
technology.
The nature of combat in Iraq and Afghanistan has exposed
many service members to concussive blasts from improvised
explosive devices and rocket propelled grenades. This has led
to numerous head injuries, including traumatic brain injury
[TBI]. One of the major effects of TBI is vision impairment.
The Committee commends the Department for following Congress'
direction by increasing and expanding services in both
inpatient and outpatient facilities. While the VA's Blind
Rehabilitation Service is known for its excellence in
delivering comprehensive vision rehabilitation to the Nation's
blind veterans at 10 VA Blind Rehabilitation Centers, more
needs to be done to expand treatment to blind and visually
impaired veterans in outpatient settings closer to where
veterans live. Therefore, the Committee recommends an
additional $15,000,000 for the VA's Blind Rehabilitation
Service to continue expansion of Visual Impairment Services
Teams, Blind Rehabilitation Outpatient Specialists, and Visual
Impairment Services Outpatient Rehabilitation.
For the past several years, the Committee has urged the VA
to expand outpatient blind rehabilitative services and training
activities. The Committee continues to support this goal, and
encourages the VA to collaborate with existing private sector
organizations with blind rehabilitative services, such as the
Lions World Services for the Blind in Little Rock, Arkansas,
and similar organizations, to help address the need identified
by the Government Accountability Office and the VA's Office of
Finance and Allocation Resource Center, and the recommendations
of the VA's Visual Impairment Advisory Board to increase the
supply of blind rehabilitative outpatient resources.
Public Law 110-181, the National Defense Authorization Act
for Fiscal Year 2008, directed the Secretary of Defense to
establish a center of excellence in the prevention, diagnosis,
mitigation, treatment, and rehabilitation of military eye
injuries. To foster greater synergy, the mandate required the
Department of Defense to collaborate with the Department of
Veterans Affairs to establish a military eye injury registry.
The VA's fiscal year 2009 budget request was formulated before
passage of Public Law 110-181, thus the request does not
contain any funding for this initiative. The Committee
recommendation includes $6,900,000 for the VA's portion of this
initiative. Additionally, the Committee directs the VA to
submit a report to the Committees on Appropriations no later
than January 23, 2009, outlining the status of, and the
coordination efforts undertaken, to establish the center of
excellence.
Readjustment Counseling.--The Committee strongly supports
the services provided by Vet Centers. The Committee
recommendation includes an additional $15,000,000 for the VA to
continue to expand the number of Vet Centers across the country
and to staff them adequately. These centers are often the first
stop for veterans and their families as they seek counseling to
readjust to civilian life. A Department of Defense program has
been developed that has been successfully utilized by Army
families, which focuses on goals, family strengthening, and
communication as tools to deal with stressful situations. The
Committee encourages the VA to consider implementing the
Defense Department's Healthy Habits program in Vet Centers.
Mental Health/Post Traumatic Stress Disorder/Traumatic
Brain Injury.--The Committee remains deeply concerned about the
propensity of returning combat soldiers to suffer from
``invisible wounds.'' These invisible wounds encompass a number
of mental health disorders, such as post traumatic stress
disorder [PTSD], and traumatic brain injury [TBI]. The
Committee is encouraged by the strides the Department has made
in hiring additional mental health providers, opening new Vet
Centers, and mitigating suicide hazards in inpatient wards.
Moreover, the Committee is aware that on May 6, 2008, the
Secretary of the Department of Veterans Affairs announced the
formation of a ``Blue Ribbon Work Group on Suicide Prevention
in the Veterans Population.'' The work group has been tasked to
make recommendations on ways the VA can improve its programs in
suicide prevention, suicide research and suicide education. The
Committee directs the VA to report to the Committees on
Appropriations of both Houses of Congress within 15 days of
receiving the Work Group's recommendations, actions and costs
associated with implementing those recommendations. While it is
clear that the VA has begun to undertake several actions needed
to ensure that the mental health needs of veterans are met,
more can be done. For instance, many soldiers returning from
Iraq and Afghanistan have faced a combination of PTSD and TBI.
However, the relationship between the two injuries is not well
understood. Thus the Committee encourages the VA to increase
funding above the baseline, by at least $2,000,000, for the
National Centers for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder to expand
programs to ensure that the combined impact of these wounds is
properly understood.
The Committee also commends the staff of the VA's
Polytrauma Rehabilitation Centers for their efforts in caring
for those veterans suffering from polytraumatic wounds. The
increased funding included within the Medical services account
will allow the VA to continue to provide the highest possible
care for those veterans and active duty soldiers who rely on
the polytrauma centers and network sites as they rehabilitate
from multiple traumatic wounds.
The Committee recognizes the prevalence of traumatic brain
injuries among OEF/OIF veterans and the corresponding need for
increased, specialized brain injury treatment. Public and
private entities with experience in neurobehavioral
rehabilitation and recovery can play an important role in
providing the highest possible standards of care. Consistent
with section 1703 of Public Law 110-181, the Committee directs
the Department of Veterans Affairs to establish and expand
cooperative agreements with these entities to maximize the
opportunities and expertise available to treat wounded
warriors.
Not later than September 30, 2009, the Secretary of
Veterans Affairs shall submit to the Committees on
Appropriations of both Houses of Congress, a report that
identifies actions taken by the VA to expand the pool of
expertise available to treat traumatic brain injury victims.
The report shall describe the decisionmaking process used to
determine the Federal or private facilities at which OEF/OIF
TBI patients are treated; the number of cooperative agreements
established with public and private entities with expertise in
neurobehavioral rehabilitation and recovery, and the
institutions with which cooperative agreements have been
established; the number of OEF/OIF veterans treated by the VA
for a TBI within the calendar year; and the number of OEF/OIF
veterans referred to a public or private entity for TBI
treatment via an established cooperative agreement.
Prosthetic and Sensory Aids Service.--The Prosthetic and
Sensory Aids Service is an integrated delivery system designed
to provide medically prescribed prosthetic and sensory aids,
devices, assistive aids, repairs, and services to eligible
disabled individuals to facilitate the treatment of their
medical conditions. The Committee recommendation includes an
additional $30,000,000 above the President's request for this
program. Additionally, the Committee encourages the Department
to increase funding for the treatment of severe communication
disabilities through the use of speech communication aids and
the speech and language therapists who prescribe them.
Hearing Loss.--The Committee recognizes the incidence and
severity of hearing loss due to faulty sensory nerves, known as
sensorineural hearing loss, and that its associated costs are
increasing at dramatic rates. Currently, there are no approved
therapeutics that either prevent or treat sensorineural hearing
loss, a leading and costly cause of disability within the VA
system. The Committee encourages the VA to examine and support
the development and clinical testing of therapeutics aimed at
preventing and treating sensorineural hearing loss along with
age-related, noise-induced and drug-induced hearing loss.
Third Party Billing.--In June 2008, the Government
Accountability Office [GAO] issued a report which found that VA
had ineffective controls over medical center billings. GAO made
seven recommendations to improve the Department's third party
billing and collection process. According to the report, the VA
has concurred with all seven recommendations. The Committee
directs the Department to provide a detailed report to the
Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress by
February 17, 2009, outlining how the VA is implementing these
recommendations and what further steps are being taken to
ensure proper coding in the billing process and to strengthen
internal management oversight.
Community Reintegration.--The Committee urges the
Department to develop a community reintegration demonstration
project for servicemembers and veterans with disabilities that
are receiving rehabilitation services in polytrauma centers.
The Committee encourages the VA to consider collaboration with
national non-profit disability services organizations which
have a history of providing community-based reintegration
services for individuals with disabilities.
MEDICAL ADMINISTRATION
Appropriations, 2008........................... $3,517,000,000
Budget estimate, 2009...................................................
Committee recommendation\1\.............................................
\1\Funding for Medical administration has been consolidated into the
Medical services account.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
To improve medical center efficiency, functions and funding
provided for under the ``Medical administration'' account have
been consolidated into the ``Medical services'' account as
proposed in the fiscal year 2009 budget submission.
MEDICAL FACILITIES
Appropriations, 2008........................... $4,100,000,000
Budget estimate, 2009................................... 4,661,000,000
Committee recommendation................................ 4,961,000,000
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The ``Medical facilities'' account provides funds for the
operation and maintenance of the VA health care system's vast
capital infrastructure. This appropriation provides for costs
associated with utilities, engineering, capital planning,
leases, laundry, groundskeeping, housekeeping, facility repair,
and property disposition and acquisition.
The Committee has included bill language to make available
through September 30, 2010, up to $350,000,000 of the medical
facilities appropriation. This provision provides flexibility
to the Department as it continues to implement significant
program changes.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Committee recommends $4,961,000,000 for ``Medical
facilities''. This amount is $861,000,000 above the fiscal year
2008 enacted level and $300,000,000 above the budget request.
The Committee has provided a substantial increase above the
budget request for the Medical facilities account. This
reflects the Committee's ongoing commitment to ensuring that VA
medical facilities are maintained at the highest possible
level. The additional funds provided in the Committee
recommendation are to be used for critical and non-recurring
maintenance at existing facilities, as identified in facility
condition assessment reports. Additionally, these funds are to
be allocated in a manner not subject to the Veterans Equitable
Resource Allocation.
Community Based Outpatient Clinics [CBOCs].--Access to
quality health care is crucially important to America's
veterans, many of whom live in areas that are not within easy
reach of VA medical centers. The VA's network of Community
Based Outpatient Clinics [CBOCs] provides a vital service to
those veterans who live in rural or underserved areas,
particularly given the current spike in gasoline costs. The
Committee notes that the Department plans to open 64 new CBOCs
in 2008, and another 51 in 2009. The Committee strongly
supports the VA's CBOC program, and urges the Department to
expand its network and expedite the construction of new CBOCs,
particularly in rural communities.
Plentywood, Montana.--The Committee urges the VA to study
the feasibility of establishing a Community Based Outpatient
Clinic in Plentywood, Montana.
Northwest Washington.--The Committee is aware of the lack
of access to VA primary and mental health care in Washington
State and commends the Department's approval of a Community
Based Outpatient Clinic [CBOC] in Northwest Washington. The
Committee supports the recent opening of an interim clinic in
the region, but is concerned about the lengthy delays in the
opening of a permanent CBOC. The Committee urges the VA to move
forward as quickly as possible with its plans to open a
permanent community-based outpatient clinic in Northwest
Washington.
South Puget Sound, Washington.--The Committee is aware of
the lack of access to primary care, mental health and specialty
care for thousands of veterans living in Lewis and Thurston
Counties, Washington, and commends the VA for its decision to
locate a Community Based Outpatient Clinic in South Puget
Sound. The Committee urges the VA to open the South Puget Sound
CBOC as soon as possible in order to increase access to these
veterans.
Southeast Vermont.--The Committee is aware of the lack of
access to VA primary care in southeast Vermont and encourages
the Department to move forward with the approval of a Community
Based Outpatient Clinic in southeast Vermont.
MEDICAL AND PROSTHETIC RESEARCH
Appropriations, 2008........................... $480,000,000
Budget estimate, 2009................................... 442,000,000
Committee recommendation................................ 526,800,000
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The ``Medical and prosthetic research'' account provides
funds for medical, rehabilitative, and health services
research. Medical research supports basic and clinical studies
that advance knowledge leading to improvements in the
prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases and
disabilities. Rehabilitation research focuses on rehabilitation
engineering problems in the fields of prosthetics, orthotics,
adaptive equipment for vehicles, sensory aids and related
areas. Health services research focuses on improving the
effectiveness and economy of the delivery of health services.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Committee recommends $526,800,000 for ``Medical and
prosthetic research''. This is $46,800,000 above the fiscal
year 2008 enacted level and $84,800,000 above the budget
request.
The Committee remains highly supportive of this program,
and recognizes its importance both in improving health care
services to veterans and recruiting and retaining high-quality
medical professionals in the Veterans Health Administration.
Through the Department's research and development program, the
VA has implemented a comprehensive research agenda to develop
new treatments and tools for clinicians to ease the physical
and psychological pain of men and women returning from
conflicts, to improve access to VA health care services, and to
accelerate discoveries and applications, especially for
neurotrauma, sensory loss, amputation, polytrauma, and related
prosthetic needs. However, the President's budget request
proposes to reduce funding for the overall medical research
program, and specifically proposes to cut funding for
designated research areas, such as acute and traumatic injury;
diabetes; mental illness; and military exposure. The Committee
rejects this proposal and instead has expanded the scope of VA
medical research. The Committee recommendation maintains the
current level of VA research, with a 3.5 percent increase over
the fiscal year 2008 enacted level to cover inflation, and
includes an additional $30,000,000 for the VA to begin research
in critical areas, such as polytrauma, sensory loss, post
traumatic stress disorder, and suicide prevention. As in years
past, the Committee strongly encourages the Department to
continue its effort to develop clinical practices using
evidenced-based medicine.
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis [ALS].--The Committee is
concerned about the high incidence of Amyotrophic Lateral
Sclerosis [ALS] among our Nation's veterans and believes that
more needs to be done. Commonly referred to as Lou Gehrig's
disease, ALS is a progressive, neurodegenerative disease that
attacks nerve cells and pathways in the brain and spinal cord,
eventually resulting in total paralysis and death. Studies by
the Department of Defense and the Department of Veterans
Affairs [VA] have shown that veterans of the 1991 gulf war are
nearly twice as likely to suffer from ALS as other veterans.
The Committee is pleased by the VA's decision to treat ALS
cases in gulf war veterans and rate them as a presumptive
service-connected disability. However, the Committee is
concerned other veterans returning from the Persian Gulf may be
exposed to the same risk factors and believes more can be done
to treat ALS cases in non-gulf war veterans. A 2005 study by
the Harvard School of Public Health found that men with any
history of military service are 60 percent more likely to
develop ALS than men in the general population. Despite these
findings, the Department reduced its ALS research budget by 20
percent from fiscal years 2005 through 2007. The Committee
strongly encourages the VA to reevaluate its policies regarding
this disease and to restore its baseline budget to the fiscal
year 2005 level in order to quantify the correlation between
ALS and combat service in all veterans. Therefore, the
Committee directs the Department to submit to the Committees on
Appropriations of both Houses of Congress no later than April
1, 2009, a strategic plan to address this disease.
Gulf War Illness Research.--The Committee is encouraged by
the Department of Veterans Affairs' commitment to continue
research into gulf war illness and directs the Department to
devote not less than $15,000,000 annually, which is equal to
the level of dedicated funding in fiscal year 2008, for this
research.
Longitudinal Study.--In fiscal year 2008, the Committee
included report language directing the Department to fulfill
the mandate carried in section 212 of Public Law 106-419, the
Veterans Benefits and Health Care Improvement Act of 2000, to
contract for a follow-up study, using the same participants of
the original 1988 Vietnam Veterans Longitudinal Study. The
follow-up study was to provide data on long-term effects of
combat-related post traumatic stress disorder [PTSD] among
Vietnam veterans, regardless of whether these veterans were
utilizing the VA system, and the effectiveness of VA medical
care in treating PTSD. In a March 31, 2008, report to the
Committee, the Department offered an alternative approach,
noting problems with the original contract and highlighting an
Inspector General report which found that the original contract
included ineffective planning, oversight, contracting and
project management. While the alternative approach may in fact
yield useful research, the Committee expects the VA to comply
with Public Law 106-419 unless otherwise directed. The
Committee, therefore, urges the Department to fulfill the
mandate, through competitive means and complying with Federal
and VA acquisition regulations, carried in Public Law 106-419,
taking into consideration the concerns raised by several of the
leading Veterans Service Organizations of the alternative
approach, including the sample size and diversity of the
research subjects. As a follow-on to the Department's March 31,
2008, report, the Department is directed to report back to the
Committee no later than March 24, 2009, on the progress made to
conduct a follow-up study using the same participants of the
original 1988 Longitudinal Study.
Herbicide Exposure.--The Air Force Health Study [AFHS] was
initiated in 1982 to examine the effects of herbicide exposure
on health, mortality, and reproductive outcomes in veterans of
Operation Ranch Hand. The study is noteworthy for the amount of
data and biological specimens collected and preserved. The
Committee urges the VA to use the unique assets of the Air
Force Health Study to conduct additional research on the
effects of herbicide exposure.
Nursing Research Program.--The Committee supports the
Veterans Affairs Nursing Research Program, which facilitates
research on the specific nursing needs of combat veterans and
aging veterans. The Committee strongly supports continuation of
this program. The Committee also encourages collaboration
between VA nurses and recipients of Tri Service Nursing
Research Program awards in the exploration of research
proposals that improve the health and well-being of their
shared beneficiary population.
Geriatric Care.--The Committee is concerned that as the
median age of veterans rises, the VA has not adequately
concentrated its resources to deliver world class geriatric
care. The Committee strongly encourages the VA to evaluate the
desirability of expanding research and clinical specialists in
disciplines related to aging to stay at the forefront of
geriatric care.
Vision Loss.--The Committee urges the VA to expand its
efforts to develop and test adaptations and modifications for
advanced information and communications technologies to ensure
their usability by veterans with vision loss. The Committee
notes the expertise of the American Foundation for the Blind
and its Technology and Employment Center [AFB TECH] and, if
appropriate, encourages the VA to consider collaboration with
AFB to leverage its expertise in vision loss, including the
product evaluation and standards development work at the AFB
TECH laboratory.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The Medical Care Collection Fund [MCCF] was established by
the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 (Public Law 105-33). In fiscal
year 2004, Public Law 108-199 allowed the Department of
Veterans Affairs to deposit first party and pharmacy co-
payments; third party insurance payments and enhanced use
collections; long-term care co-payments; Compensated Work
Therapy Program collections; and Parking Program fees into the
MCCF. The Secretary of Veterans Affairs has the authority to
transfer funds between the MCCF and the medical services
appropriation and medical facilities appropriation.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Committee recommendation includes the authority to
retain co-payments and third party collections, estimated to
total $2,544,000,000 in fiscal year 2009.
National Cemetery Administration
Appropriations, 2008.................................... $195,000,000
Budget estimate, 2009.......................... 180,959,000
Committee recommendation....................... 230,000,000
ADMINISTRATION OVERVIEW
The National Cemetery Administration was established in
accordance with Public Law 93-94, the National Cemeteries Act
of 1973. It has a four-fold mission: to provide for the
interment in any national cemetery of the remains of eligible
deceased service members and discharged veterans, together with
their spouses and certain dependents, and permanently to
maintain their graves; to provide headstones for, and to mark
graves of eligible persons in national, State, and private
cemeteries; to administer the grant program for aid to States
in establishing, expanding, or improving State veterans'
cemeteries; and to administer the Presidential Memorial
Certificate Program.
In 2009, cemeterial activities will encompass a total of
164 cemeterial installations in 39 States, the District of
Columbia, and Puerto Rico. The Committee's recommendation for
the National Cemetery Administration provides funds for all of
these cemeterial installations.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Committee recommends $230,000,000 for the National
Cemetery Administration. This is an increase of $35,000,000
over the fiscal year 2008 enacted level and $49,041,000 above
the budget request.
The Committee has included bill language to make available
through September 30, 2010, up to $23,000,000 of the ``National
Cemetery Administration'' [NCA] appropriation.
The Committee has recommended additional funds for NCA to
continue its efforts to correct gravesite deficiencies,
including the repair of sunken graves and the realignment and
maintenance of headstones.
Colorado National Cemeteries.--The State of Colorado's
veteran population in the area known as Front Range is divided
into two distinct geographical areas, generally represented as
those areas encompassed by (1) Denver, Boulder, Fort Collins,
and Greeley and, (2) Colorado Springs and Pueblo. The Committee
is concerned that traveling to and from the Fort Logan National
Cemetery in Denver may impose an undue hardship on the families
of deceased veterans from southern Colorado. The Committee
therefore urges the National Cemetery Administration to conduct
a study to determine the need and feasibility of establishing
two National Veterans Cemeteries in Colorado's Front Range
region.
The Committee is also aware that in preparing for the Fort
Logan National Cemetery reaching capacity, the VA may seek to
acquire land for an expansion site. The Committee encourages
the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to consider locations south
of Colorado Springs, Colorado.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
This appropriation provides for the ``General operating
expenses'' of the Department of Veterans Affairs.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Committee recommends $1,779,125,000 for ``General
operating expenses''. This amount is $174,125,000 above the
fiscal year 2008 enacted level and $79,258,000 above the budget
request. The recommendation includes an increase of $70,000,000
for the Veterans Benefit Administration to continue to hire an
additional 500 claims adjudicators, to refine its training
procedures, and to enter into operational leases to acquire
space to accommodate the increased personnel. The Committee has
also provided $3,838,000 above the President's request for the
Board of Veterans Appeals [BVA] and $3,220,000 above the
President's request for the Office of the General Counsel [GC].
The Committee has also provided an additional $1,000,000 for
the Office of Public and Intergovermental Affairs to implement
a new initiative for better outreach to veterans. As the
Department hires more claims processors, the number of expected
appeals will increase. Thus the additional funding will provide
both the BVA and GC with increased personnel to handle these
appeals.

Franchise Fund.--The Franchise Fund was established in 1997
as a pilot program and made permanent in fiscal year 2006 under
Public Law 109-114. The Committee directs the Department to
provide a report on the Franchise Fund's business plan for
fiscal year 2009. This plan should include a list of services,
customers, overhead expenses, funds collected for services, and
the unobligated balance from the previous fiscal year. The VA
shall submit this report to the Committees on Appropriations in
both Houses of Congress no later than 60 days following
enactment of this act.
OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL
Appropriations, 2008.................................... $80,500,000
Budget estimate, 2009................................... 76,500,000
Committee recommendation................................ 93,900,000
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The Office of Inspector General was established by the
Inspector General Act of the 1978 and is responsible for the
audit and investigation and inspections of all Department of
Veterans Affairs programs and operations.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Committee recommends $93,900,000 for the Office of
Inspector General. This is $13,400,000 above the fiscal year
2008 enacted level and $17,400,000 above the budget request.
The President's request proposes to cut funding for the
Office of Inspector General [OIG]. This reduction in funding
would cause the OIG to reduce its staff by 48 positions,
resulting in fewer national audits and health care inspections.
The Committee rejects the proposed reduction and provides
sufficient funding for the OIG to maintain current services
plus an additional $4,500,000 to provide cyclical reviews of
individual VBA Regional Offices to assess quality assurance of
benefit claims processing, focusing on timeliness, accuracy,
reduction of backlogs, productivity, training, and transition
assistance for veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
CONSTRUCTION, MAJOR PROJECTS
Appropriations, 2008\1\................................. $1,069,100,000
Budget estimate, 2009................................... 581,582,000
Committee recommendation................................ 1,217,747,000
\1\Excludes $396,377,000 in emergency supplemental funding included in
Public Law 110-252.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The ``Construction, major projects'' account provides for
constructing, altering, extending, and improving any of the
facilities (including parking projects) under the jurisdiction
or for the use of the VA, including planning, architectural and
engineering services, Capital Asset Realignment Enhanced
Services [CARES] activities, assessment, and site acquisition
where the estimated cost of a project is more than the amount
set forth in 38 U.S.C. section 8104(a)(3)(A). Proceeds realized
from Enhanced Use Lease activities may be deposited into the
``Construction, major projects'' and ``Construction, minor
projects'' accounts.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Committee recommends an appropriation of $1,217,747,000
for the construction of major projects. This is $148,647,000
above the fiscal year 2008 enacted level and $636,165,000 above
the budget request. While the Committee has continued its
practice of not earmarking major construction projects not
requested in the budget submission, the Committee is extremely
disappointed in the budget request for major construction. The
Department's 5-Year Capital Plan outlines a capital
construction need for medical facilities of over
$5,500,000,000. Yet the President's budget request for medical
facility construction for the Veterans Health Administration
totals only $397,652,000, less than one-tenth of the
requirement.
The Department is expected to identify additional capital
requirements in fiscal year 2009, due to pending decisions from
the Capital Asset Realignment for Enhanced Services process.
This is likely to add additional major construction projects to
an already largely unfunded list and create an even greater
backlog of requirements. Therefore, the Committee has included
an additional $636,165,000 within the ``Construction, Major
Projects'' account to accelerate funding for the 5-Year Capital
Plan and to address necessary cost adjustments for previously
appropriated projects. Based on the VA's 5-Year Capital Plan
and the Department's process for designing and developing
projects, the Committee has determined that this increased
level of funding can be executed in fiscal year 2009 and is
sufficient to complete planning and design for all of the
projects in the current plan, address cost adjustments, and
initiate construction and land acquisition activities on a
number of projects. Within 45 days of enactment of this act,
the Department is directed to provide the Committees on
Appropriations of both Houses of Congress with a detailed
expenditure plan of how these funds will be allocated, prior to
obligation.
The following table reflects the President's budget request
for major construction projects and activities, and the
corresponding Committee recommendations. The table does not
include the additional funding recommended by the Committee to
accelerate execution of the 5-Year Capital Plan.

\1\Funding for polytrauma rehabilitation center construction was
provided in Public Law 110-252.
Beckley, West Virginia, Nursing Home.--The Committee urges
the VA to include in the President's fiscal year 2010 budget
sufficient funding for the construction of a 90-bed nursing
home and adult day care center at the Beckley, West Virginia,
VA Medical Center, which is included in the current VA 5-Year
Capital Plan.
Martinsburg, West Virginia, Medical Center.--The Committee
urges the VA to include in the President's fiscal year 2010
budget $3,560,000 for planning and design work associated with
the renovation and expansion of the primary, mental health, and
specialty outpatient care facility at the Martinsburg, West
Virginia, VA Medical Center, which is included in the February
2005 VA 5-Year Capital Plan.
Walla Walla, Washington, VA Medical Center Outpatient
Clinic.--The Committee is aware of the substantial number of
veterans served by the Walla Walla, Washington, VA Medical
Center and is supportive of the VA's decision to approve
construction of an outpatient clinic in Walla Walla as part of
the CARES process. In order to complete the construction of
this project in a timely manner, the Committee urges the VA to
include design funding for the clinic in the fiscal year 2010
budget request.
Louisville, Kentucky.--To accelerate the VA's 5 Year
Capital Plan, the Committee has recommended an increase in
funds for the Major construction account above the
administration's fiscal year 2009 request. The Committee is
acutely aware of the substantial number of veterans in the
Louisville area who are in need of a new hospital. The increase
in the overall funding level for the Major construction account
will result in additional funds above the President's request.
The additional funding is sufficient to accelerate the 5 Year
Capital Plan, which includes land acquisition, planning and
design for the Louisville VA Medical Center.
Omaha, Nebraska.--The Committee urges the Department to
undertake a feasibility study to identify and outline the
options available to the VA to remedy the infrastructure
deterioration at the current Omaha VA Medical Center [Omaha
VAMC], in Omaha, NE. At a minimum, the report shall include the
following:
(1) The feasibility of relocation or reconstruction of the
Omaha VAMC, of entering into a partnership with a Federal,
State, or local governmental agency, or other suitable entity,
including but not limited to the Creighton University School of
Medicine and the University of Nebraska Medical Center, for the
construction and operation of a new facility;
(2) The medical, legal, and financial implications of each
of the options identified, including recommendations regarding
any statutory changes necessary for the Department to carry out
any of the options identified;
(3) A detailed cost-benefit analysis of each of the options
identified; and,
(4) Estimates regarding the length of time and associated
costs needed to complete such a facility under each of the
options identified.
The VA is directed to report back to the Committees on
Appropriations of both Houses of Congress within 180 days after
enactment of this act on what steps, if any, have been taken to
undertake the feasibility study and any findings, should the
study be complete.
CONSTRUCTION, MINOR PROJECTS
Appropriations, 2008.................................... $630,535,000
Budget estimate, 2009................................... 329,418,000
Committee recommendation................................ 729,418,000
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The ``Construction, minor projects'' account provides for
constructing, altering, extending, and improving any of the
facilities (including parking) under the jurisdiction or for
the use of the VA, including planning, CARES activities,
assessment of needs, architectural and engineering services,
and site acquisition, where the estimated cost of a project is
equal to or less than $10,000,000. Public Law 106-117, the
Veterans Millennium Health Care and Benefits Act of 1999, gave
the VA the authority to make capital contributions from minor
construction in enhanced-use leases. Proceeds realized from
enhanced-use lease activities may be deposited into the
``Construction, major projects'' and ``Construction, minor
projects'' accounts.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Committee recommends $729,418,000 for minor
construction. This is $98,883,000 above the fiscal year 2008
enacted level and $400,000,000 above the budget request.
The Committee has included additional funds within the
minor construction account to continue the efforts to reduce
the backlog of minor construction projects estimated at
$860,000,000 and to begin an effort to modernize and upgrade
research facilities. Additionally, of the increase provided
within this account, the Committee directs that an additional
$75,000,000 above the budget request be used for gravesite
expansion and infrastructure improvements at cemeteries
operated by NCA and an additional $42,000,000 above the budget
request be used for minor construction associated with the
Veterans Benefits Administration. The Committee directs the
Department to submit an expenditure plan by February 25, 2009,
to the Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress
for the amount appropriated for minor construction.
Walla Walla, Washington, Mental Health Facility.--The
Committee is aware of the great need for mental health care in
the region served by the Walla Walla VA campus. The Committee
applauds the Department's decision to build a state-of-the-art
residential rehabilitation facility focused on mental health at
the Walla Walla VA Medical Center and urges the VA to complete
the project as soon as possible.
GRANTS FOR CONSTRUCTION OF STATE EXTENDED CARE FACILITIES
Appropriations, 2008.................................... $165,000,000
Budget estimate, 2009................................... 85,000,000
Committee recommendation................................ 250,000,000
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
This account is used to provide grants to assist States in
acquiring or constructing State home facilities for furnishing
domiciliary or nursing home care to veterans, and to expand,
remodel or alter existing buildings for furnishing domiciliary,
nursing home, or hospital care to veterans in State homes. The
grant may not exceed 65 percent of the total cost of the
project. Public Law 102-585 granted permanent authority for
this program, and Public Law 106-117 provided greater
specificity in directing VA to prescribe regulations for the
number of beds for which grant assistance may be furnished.
This program has been a successful partnership between the
States and the VA in meeting the long-term care needs of
elderly veterans for decades.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Committee recommends $250,000,000 for Grants for the
construction of State extended care facilities. This is
$85,000,000 above the fiscal year 2008 enacted level and
$165,000,000 above the budget request. This program cost-
effectively meets long-term health care needs of veterans.
On August 11, 2006, the VA published its interim final rule
in the Federal Register setting new regulations regarding
grants to States for construction or acquisition of State
homes. To date, the Department has not issued its final rule,
but has informed the Committee that it is in the final stage of
processing. The new regulations set aside 70 percent of all
funding appropriated to the Grants for Construction of State
Extended Care Facilities account to ensure sufficient funds for
life safety projects at existing facilities. The remaining 30
percent is utilized to provide Federal funds for construction
of new State extended homes. The Department's fiscal year 2009
budget request proposes an $80,000,000, or 48 percent,
reduction below the fiscal year 2008 enacted level. For fiscal
year 2008, the VA's own pending application list shows a need
of over $550,000,000 in State applications falling into
priority group one and a total universe of pending applications
totaling almost $990,000,000. The Committee sees no rationale
for cutting this program, given the need for safety
requirements at existing facilities and the need for new State
extended homes. Therefore, the Committee recommends additional
funding within this account to assist the Department with life
safety and facility construction grants.
Walla Walla, Washington, Long-Term Care Facility.--The
Committee is aware of the collaborative efforts of the Walla
Walla VA Medical Center and the Washington State Department of
Veterans Affairs to meet the long term care needs of veterans
in southeast Washington and northern Oregon by building a long-
term care facility on the Walla Walla VA Medical Center
grounds. The Committee supports the creation of a jointly
operated veterans' home in Walla Walla and encourages the VA to
promptly review this application, and if appropriate, place the
project on the priority list for funding from the Grants for
Construction of State Extended Care Facilities account in
fiscal year 2009.
GRANTS FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF STATE VETERANS CEMETERIES
Appropriations, 2008.................................... $39,500,000
Budget estimate, 2009................................... 32,000,000
Committee recommendation................................ 42,000,000
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Public Law 105-368 amended title 38 U.S.C. section 2408 and
established authority to provide aid to States for
establishment, expansion, and improvement of State veterans
cemeteries which are operated and permanently maintained by the
States. This statutory change increased the maximum Federal
share from 50 percent to 100 percent in order to fund
construction costs and the initial equipment expenses when the
cemetery is established. The States remain responsible for
providing the land and for paying all costs related to the
operation and maintenance of the State cemeteries, including
the costs for subsequent equipment purchases.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Committee recommends $42,000,000 for Grants for the
construction of State veterans cemeteries. This is $2,500,000
above the fiscal year 2008 enacted level and $10,000,000 above
the budget request.
The Committee is aware that pending applications for
improvement or expansion of existing State cemeteries or
establishment of new State cemeteries totals almost
$168,000,000 which reflects planned obligations in fiscal year
2008. The Committee has included additional funding to ensure
that State cemeteries are maintained at the highest level and
capacity exists for future burials and to expedite the backlog
of applications.
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SYSTEMS
Appropriations, 2008\1\................................. $1,966,465,000
Budget estimate, 2009................................... 2,442,066,000
Committee recommendation................................ 2,471,166,000
\1\Excludes $20,000,000 in emergency supplemental funding provided in
Public Law 110-252.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The Information Technology [IT] Systems account was created
in Public Law 109-114, the Military Quality of Life and
Veterans Affairs Appropriations Act, 2006, in order to
centralize the Department's IT development into one account.
The establishment of this account has allowed for better budget
planning, control and oversight of VA's IT system development.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Committee remains very supportive of IT efforts,
particularly in the field of claims processing and electronic
health records, and recommends an appropriation of
$2,471,166,000 for Information Technology Systems, an increase
of $504,701,000 above the fiscal year 2008 enacted level and
$29,100,000 above the budget request. Of the amounts provided
within the IT account, $1,741,929,000 is for non-pay expenses,
including equipment associated with system development, and
$729,237,000 is for staffing and administrative expenses. The
Committee directs the Department to continue to track non-pay
and pay costs separately in future budget justifications for
this account. Within the amounts provided, the Committee
directs that $5,000,000 be utilized for computers and other
information technology needs associated with the increase in
claims processors for the Veterans Benefits Administration and
for increased staff across the VA.
To provide further oversight and monitoring of system
development costs, the Committee has included bill language
requiring the Department to submit an expenditure plan for the
total amount provided, as well as a reprogramming base letter
outlining, by project, total costs associated with each
development project.
The Committee recommendation includes $2,000,000 above the
President's budget request to be used to address the VA's
portion of the implementation of the military eye injury
registry, including costs for information technology needs, to
support the Department of Defense's Military Eye Injury Center
of Excellence.
Centralization of Information Technology Services.--The
Committee is concerned that the centralization of information
technology services in the Department is not meeting the
intended objectives of the centralization approved by Congress.
Effective delivery of health care in the 21st century demands
that hospitals and clinics have state-of-the-art information
technology systems. The repeated reprogramming requests from
other departmental accounts to the Information Technology
Systems account leads the Committee to believe the Department
has not established an effective process for identifying its
information technology needs, particularly those at the medical
center level. The increasing amount of funds being transferred
into the Information Technology Systems account also calls into
question whether any efficiencies have been realized from the
centralization. Additionally, the Committee has repeatedly
heard complaints that the Office of Information and Technology
has not established standardized policies and procedures for
requesting and receiving information technology services,
equipment, and development and has not established a clear
organizational structure. Accordingly, the Committee directs
the Department to conduct a study of the centralization to date
to examine the degree to which efficiencies have been realized;
standard policies and procedures for requesting information
technology services, equipment, and development have been
implemented; and a clear organizational structure, including
leadership positions and functional description has been
implemented. The results of the study should be reported to the
Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress no
later than 180 days from enactment of this act.
Financial and Logistics Integrated Technology Enterprise
[FLITE].--The Committee has included bill language to make
available $67,200,000 for the Financial and Logistics
Integrated Technology Enterprise [FLITE] program in fiscal year
2009. The FLITE program is a multi-year initiative to replace
the existing financial and logistics systems of the Department
of Veterans Affairs [VA] in order to remediate a longstanding
material weakness in the Department's financial statements.
Successful implementation of FLITE will integrate and
standardize data and processes across all VA offices, provide
management with access to timely and accurate information on VA
operations, and establish an advanced technology environment
for accounting and financial reporting.
The Committee remains highly supportive of FLITE and has
been pleased by the program's defined scope and its realistic
schedule and cost. The Committee also applauds the Department
for taking important steps toward the implementation of FLITE
on a nationwide scale, including the hiring of a dedicated
program director and the adoption of a functional governance
framework. This management structure provides a new and
necessary level of accountability for this crucial initiative
and is the first VA information technology project with a
rigorous project management discipline. However, the Committee
remains deeply concerned that the VA is not providing
sufficient funding for FLITE. For fiscal years 2008 and 2009,
internal budget cuts of nearly $23,000,000 have lengthened the
program schedule by 18 months and put the nationwide
implementation of the program in jeopardy. Given the failure of
the VA's last financial management initiative in Core FLS, the
Committee believes it is important to adequately fund this new
initiative to ensure its success. Therefore, the Committee has
included bill language that restores these internal budget cuts
and directs the Department to ensure that the FLITE program is
completed and implemented on its original schedule.
e-Travel.--The Committee commends the Department of
Veterans Affairs commitment to improving the electronic travel
system but is increasingly concerned with the funding of e-
Travel within the Department. The budget justification has not
yet provided demonstrable evidence that the services provided
under the current e-Travel contract with FedTraveler, namely
economies of scale in booking, approving, and reimbursing
travel expenses, have saved the Department money. Given that
this system is relatively new, and in the early stages of
deployment, the estimated savings are still projections. The
Department's fiscal year 2009 budget request includes funding
amounts for the following two e-Travel programs: $1,365,000 for
VA-wide e-Travel and $1,340,000 for e-Gov: e-Travel, yet there
seems to be little distinction between the two programs, and
both items go to the same account, creating an additional
burden on the execution of these funds. The Committee notes
that this program charges Government travelers a variety of
fees for each trip, including a self-service booking fee of
$10.03 per transaction, an assisted-service booking fee of
$29.95 per transaction, and an accounting fee of $10.64 per
transaction for creating an expense report for each trip, with
no discussion in the Department's budget justification. The
Committee also understands that the FedTraveler system does not
accommodate group travel and that each member of the group must
make individual transactions, creating an additional workload
and missing an opportunity for cost savings to the Department.
The Committee, therefore, encourages the VA to work with
the General Services Administration to reassess the various
fees allowed under the base contract and the potential savings
associated with adding the group travel functionality to the
system. In addition, the Committee directs the Department to
combine the two funding line items into the ``VA-wide e-
Travel'' line in the IT base reprogramming letter and in all
subsequent budget submissions.
Reprogramming Requirements.--The Committee is growing
increasingly concerned that the Office of Information and
Technology [OIT] does not have sufficient financial controls to
properly manage the large increases to its ``Information
Technology'' account. In November 2005, the Committee mandated
OIT obtain the consent of the Committees on Appropriations of
both houses of Congress when exceeding the agreed-upon spending
plan by more than $1,000,000. However, in OIT's fiscal year
2007 obligation report, which compares the ``Information
Technology'' account's initial spending plan to end-of-year
obligations, it appears the Office mismanaged the allocation of
its fiscal year 2007 IT appropriation. Of nearly 50 budget
lines in the base reprogramming letter the VA submitted to
Congress on April 10, 2007, the Office exceeded the $1,000,000
threshold in almost half of them, including 12 instances of
exceeding the threshold by $5,000,000 or more and 6 instances
of exceeding the threshold by $15,000,000 or more. Although OIT
did not exceed its total budget authority of $1,200,000,000,
the frequency and amount of these errors in transaction
activity signify a severe lack of internal financial controls
and discipline. In fact, in a letter dated May 13, 2008, the
Assistant Secretary for Information and Technology notified
this Committee, after the fact, that they had disregarded the
notification requirements and exceeded the reprogramming
threshold ``in several instances due to a lack of planning and
insufficient financial controls''. The Committee notes its
extreme displeasure that the Office of Information Technology
has not followed the agreed-upon processes and believes that
more oversight is needed to ensure compliance with
congressional directives and adherence to the established
reprogramming guidelines. Therefore, the Committee directs the
Office of Information Technology to track IT expenditures on a
monthly basis and to report these findings to the Committees on
Appropriations of both Houses of Congress. The Committee
reminds the Office of Information Technology that, as in the
past, the accompanying act contains a statutory provision
mandating the requirement for an IT base reprogramming letter
and an administrative provision outlining the $1,000,000
reprogramming threshold.
OneVA Portal Pilot.--The Committee is aware of the
Department of Veterans Affairs pilot program that will
initially focus on the creation of a unified veteran-focused
information architecture and site design, identity management,
and single sign-on to the existing VA web systems. The OneVA
Portal Pilot will provide an easy solution for Veterans to
access information about their entitled benefits and to ensure
that this solution has the capability to deliver these types of
value added services in a secure manner by providing strong
authentication of those Veterans using the OneVA Portal. The
Committee supports the budget request for this pilot project.

TITLE III
RELATED AGENCIES
American Battle Monuments Commission
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The American Battle Monuments Commission [ABMC] is
responsible for the following: the maintenance and construction
of U.S. monuments and memorials commemorating the achievements
in battle of our Armed Forces since April 1917 (the date of the
United States entry into World War I); the erection of
monuments and markers by U.S. citizens and organizations in
foreign countries; and the design, construction, and
maintenance of permanent military cemetery memorials in foreign
countries. The Commission maintains 24 military memorial
cemeteries and 31 monuments, memorials, and markers in 15
countries around the world, including three memorials on U.S.
soil. It is presently charged with erecting an Interpretive
Center at the Normandy American Cemetery, Normandy, France.
SALARIES AND EXPENSES
Appropriations, 2008.................................... $44,600,000
Budget estimate, 2009................................... 47,470,000
Committee recommendation................................ 59,470,000
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Committee recommends $59,470,000 for the ``Salaries and
expenses'' account. This amount is $14,870,000 above the fiscal
year 2008 enacted level and $12,000,000 above the budget
request. The additional funding will provide ABMC with the
resources necessary to accelerate the Interpretive Center
Program, address maintenance that was deferred in fiscal year
2008, and initiate plans to stabilize the Pointe du Hoc
Observation Bunker. The Committee directs the ABMC to submit a
report to the Committees on Appropriations by February 28,
2009, detailing maintenance and infrastructure requirements at
all ABMC memorials.
FOREIGN CURRENCY FLUCTUATIONS
Appropriations, 2008.................................... $11,000,000
Budget estimate, 2009................................... 17,100,000
Committee recommendation................................ 17,100,000
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
The Committee recommends an estimated $17,100,000 for the
``Foreign currency fluctuation'' account. This amount is
$6,100,000 above the fiscal year 2008 enacted level and equal
to the budget request.
The Committee commends the Commission's handling of the
Foreign Currency Fluctuation Account. In the past, the
Commission has accurately managed this account, but today's
volatile global economy and weak dollar have made this process
difficult at best. Any drastic swings in the world's currency
exchange impact the Commission's ability to hire host nation
maintenance support to maintain American cemeteries abroad.
Unwilling to risk the Commission's ability to maintain those
cemeteries to the highest of standards, the Committee has
included language in the accompanying bill, as proposed by the
administration, that would allow funding for this account on a
``such sums as necessary'' basis. Funding this account in this
manner will allow the Commission to maintain cemeteries
regardless of the volatility of foreign currency fluctuations.
U.S. Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims
OVERVIEW
The U.S. Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims was
established by the Veterans' Judicial Review Act of 1988. The
Court is an independent judicial tribunal with exclusive
jurisdiction to review decisions of the Board of Veterans'
Appeals. It has the authority to decide all relevant questions
of law; interpret constitutional, statutory, and regulatory
provisions; and determine the meaning or applicability of the
terms of an action by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs. It is
authorized to compel action by the Secretary. It is authorized
to hold unconstitutional or otherwise unlawful and set aside
decisions, findings, conclusions, rules and regulations issued
or adopted by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs, the Board of
Veterans' Appeals, or the Chairman of the Board that are found
to be arbitrary or capricious. The Court's principle office
location is Washington, District of Columbia; however, it is a
national court, empowered to sit anywhere in the United States.

DISCLOSURE OF CONGRESSIONALLY DIRECTED SPENDING ITEMS
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.
As defined in Rule XLIV of the Standing Rules of the
Senate, 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
congressionally directed spending item. Such certifications are
available to the public on the website of the Senate Committee
on Appropriations (www.appropriations.senate.gov/senators.cfm).
Following is a list of congressionally directed spending
items included in the Senate recommendation discussed in this
report, along with the name of each Senator who submitted a
request to the Committee of jurisdiction for each item so
identified. Neither the Committee recommendation nor this
report contains any limited tax benefits or limited tariff
benefits as defined in rule XLIV.
