CLASSIFIED PROGRAM ADJUSTMENTS
The Committee recommends adjustments to certain classified programs,
as explained in the classified annex to the Committee's report.
COMPLIANCE WITH 302( B ) ALLOCATION
The Appropriations Committee conformed fully to the budget resolution
for defense spending in its 302(b) allocation. This allocation divided
the budget authority and outlays among the subcommittees with
jurisdiction over discretionary spending. The Defense Subcommittee has
the greatest share of defense spending. In this recommended bill, the
Appropriations Committee has remained within the tight constraints of
its 302(b) allocation for defense.

Pay raise .--The President's fiscal year 2000 budget requests a
4.4-percent military pay raise. The Committee supports a more robust
military pay increase, and recommends a 4.8-percent pay raise for
military personnel, the largest increase in basic military pay in nearly
a generation. This enhanced pay raise will keep military compensation
attractive, help ensure that military pay is competitive with private
sector wages, and enable the services to continue to attract and retain
a highly qualified volunteer force. This pay raise is effective January
1, 2000.
Pay table reform .--The Committee supports pay table reform using
targeted pay raises to reward performance and promotion over longevity.
Pay table reform will result in a second pay raise during fiscal year
2000, up to an additional 5.5-percent, for individuals in critical
grades. Pay table reform and the associated pay raise is effective July
1, 2000.
Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps (JROTC) .--The Committee
recognizes the value and importance of the Junior ROTC program for our
nation's high school students. The Committee endorses the JROTC mission
statement: ``. . . to instill in students in United States secondary
educational institutions the value of citizenship, service to the United
States, personal responsibility, and a sense of accomplishment.''
Although the Congress has authorized up to 3,500 JROTC units, the
Department has established and funded approximately 2,600 units. The
Committee directs the Department to increase funding for the JROTC
program to the fully authorized level. To achieve this goal in fiscal
year 2000, the Committee has provided $6,900,000 in the Service reserve
personnel appropriations, and $20,250,000 in the Service active
operation and maintenance appropriations.
Further, the Committee directs the Department to provide a
comprehensive report by March 1, 2000, on the status of the JROTC
program, including a plan to increase the program to 3,500 units.

Operation and Maintenance Overview
Operation and maintenance appropriations provide the resources
required by the U.S. Armed Forces, and supporting defense agencies, to
prepare for and conduct combat operations, and other peace time
missions. These funds are used to purchase fuel and spare parts for
training operations, pay supporting civilian personnel, and purchase
supplies, equipment, and service contracts for the repair of weapons and
facilities.
Combating Terrorism
Within the operation and maintenance appropriations, the Committee
has provided significant resources for the antiterrorism activities of
the Department. The Committee supports the unified management and focus
of these funds, as described in Senate Report 106 50, the National
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2000. The Committee expects
the Secretary of Defense to report to the congressional defense
committees describing the use of the following amounts to achieve
combating terrorism objectives. The following funding is available in
fiscal year 2000:
Army $497,800,000
Navy 284,100,000
Marine Corps 11,900,000
Air Force 151,500,000
Defense-wide 317,400,000
Army Reserve 22,400,000
Navy Reserve 5,300,000
Air Force Reserve 21,600,000
Army National Guard 41,300,000
Air National Guard 100,000
DOD Inspector General 500,000
1,353,900,000
RAID TEAMS
The Committee supports the establishment of 17 Rapid Assessment and
Initial Detection (RAID) teams pursuant to the action provided in the
Senate defense authorization bill. Accordingly, the Committee provided
funding for an additional 198 Army National Guard and 66 Air National
Guard full-time (AGR) personnel to facilitate this mission. Operation
and maintenance funding of $79,635,000 for RAID teams is provided within
the amounts described for combating terrorism above.
Quality of Life Enhancements, Defense
The Committee recognizes that the readiness of the all volunteer
force derives not only from realistic combat training and serviceable
equipment and weapons, but also from the quality of life which military
personnel enjoy from livable quarters and related facilities. To improve
the living conditions of service men and women, the Committee
traditionally provided funding in either the barracks renovation
initiative, or more recently, in the Quality of Life Enhancements,
Defense account. For fiscal year 2000, the Department of Defense has
followed Committee practice and requested Quality of Life Enhancements,
Defense funds. The Department has, however, in an effort to circumvent
the discretionary budget outlay limits established in the Budget
Enforcement Act, expanded the scope and purpose of this account. Rather
than providing Quality of Life Enhancement funds for unspecified real
property maintenance projects, the Committee has appropriated and added
funds in the appropriate service accounts.
Unutilized Plant Capacity
The Committee remains concerned with the costs of industrial
preparedness, and the overhead rates at Department of Defense arsenals.
The budget justification materials of the Department of Defense
submitted to Congress for each fiscal year after fiscal year 2000 shall
within the OP 32 exhibit include a descriptive budget line which
describes the funding for unutilized plant capacity.
A 76 Studies
The Committee is aware of the Department of Defense's intention to
compete the jobs of federal employees under OMB Circular A 76. The
Committee is concerned that projected savings through A 76 planned
competitions do not match actual savings. The Committee directs the
Secretary of Defense to submit a report to the Senate and House
Appropriations Subcommittees on Defense within 60 days of enactment on
the use of OMB A 76 by the Department to contract in work. The report
shall list the instances since 1995, when work performed by contractors
has been converted to performance by civilian employees of the
Department. For each instance of contracting in, the report shall
include the types of work, the locations where the work was performed,
the name of the contractor that was performing the work, the cost of
contractor performance at the time the work was contracted in, and the
current cost of performance by civilian employees of the Department. The
report shall include a discussion of legal, regulatory, or budgetary
obstacles to the appropriate use of contracting in to make the
operations of the Department more efficient. The report shall also
include recommendations for maximizing the possibility of effective
public-private competition for work that has been contracted out.
Not later than 90 days after the date on which the Secretary submits
the annual report, the Comptroller General shall submit to the Senate
and House Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense the Comptroller
General's views on whether the Department has complied with the
requirements for the report.
Pentagon Renovation Transfer Fund
The Committee has consolidated the funding for the Pentagon's ongoing
renovation from the service and defense wide operation and maintenance
accounts into a separate appropriation in Title II. The Committee
directs the Department to utilize this fund for future budget request
submissions to the Congress, with a delineation of contributions by
department and organization.

COMMITTEE ADJUSTMENTS
Program reductions .--The Committee supports the Army efforts to
adapt force structure, doctrine and technology to better meet future
security threats. The Committee has provided funding for the Joint
Contingency Force experiment, the Aim XXI program, and assorted
communications upgrades. The Committee recommends several adjustments to
programs with unjustified program growth such as post production
software support, headquarters increases, service-wide communications,
the AWE and administration. Funding for the Pentagon renovation has been
transferred to the Pentagon renovation transfer fund.
Real Property Maintenance .--Despite the determined efforts of the
Committee to fund the training operations which the Army conducts to
achieve measurable readiness standards, the service has repeatedly
failed to execute the plans presented to, and approved by Congress. The
Army explains this migration of training resources to other activities
as ``fact-of-life'' adjustments required to balance funding levels
across the Operation and Maintenance appropriation. To protect the
training subactivity groups associated with operational readiness, the
Committee has supported fully and added $97,000,000 to the Army's real
property maintenance and base operations plan. The Committee directs
that real property maintenance funds recommended in the bill shall
provide the following program in fiscal year 2000:

USACE 4,390,000
Undistributed 132,000,000
1,516,228,000
Air Battle Captain .--The Committee has included $1,250,000 for the
Air Battle Captain helicopter flight training program. Of this amount,
$250,000 shall be directed to a national recruitment campaign
specifically targeted to the program. The Army is directed to provide a
detailed recruitment plan to the Committee for its review within sixty
days of enactment of this Act. The Committee intends that the balance of
this funding shall be expended on activities directly associated with
flight training prescribed by the Air Battle Captain program curriculum
for helicopter training. In addition, the Committee directs the Army to
execute its pending agreement for continuation of the program.
Ravenna Army Ammunition Plant .--The Committee understands that the
Army has responsibility for the environmental cleanup of approximately
9,000 acres of the Ravenna Army Ammunition Plant. The Committee urges
the Army to develop a comprehensive plan and an associated timeline for
the remediation of its portion of the facility.
Marion Engineering Depot .--The Committee urges the Corps of
Engineers to review the level of contaminants recently found at this
site and recommends that the Corps consider this facility a priority for
future funding.
Fort Des Moines Historic Memorial .--The Committee recommends an
increase of $2,000,000 for the repair and refurbishment of the grounds
and facilities of Fort Des Moines to support the establishment of the
historic OCS museum and memorial.
Joint Assessment Neurological Examination Equipment Upgrade for
combat medical specialist .--The Committee recommends an additional
$1,500,000 for the Army Medical Center and School to continue the joint
assessment neurological evaluation equipment upgrade for training and
sustainment proficiency of the combat medical specialist.
Range Safe Technology Demonstration .--The Committee urges the Army
to explore emerging technologies that treat low level radioactive waste
on site. Treatment on site would preclude hauling contaminated material
to approved and specifically designated landfills. The cost of tracking,
transport and storage of radioactive waste to these landfills is
extremely costly and adds considerable expense to the overall cost of
the remediation. These new technologies offer promise that they would
result in significant savings.
Fort Knox MOUT Facility .--The Committee supports the full funding
by the Army of the base operations support for the MOUT facility at Fort
Knox.
Firefighting Equipment Conveyance .--The Committee directs the
Secretary of the Army to consider conveying the firefighting equipment
at the Military Ocean Terminal, Bayonne (MOTBY) to the Bayonne Local
Redevelopment Authority and the City of Bayonne.
Automatic identification technologies .--The extensive logistics and
manufacturing capabilities within the Army can be substantially improved
through a relatively small investment in expanding the application of
automatic identification technologies. Available commercial
off-the-shelf systems will readily improve inventory management, asset
tracking and distribution, as well as enhance in-process overhaul and
production activities. The Committee recommends that Rock Island Arsenal
be included as a priority facility for the Department's Total Asset
Visibility Implementation Plan, which establishes the AIT road map for
tracking assets from production and overhaul through warehousing and
distribution, and other similar programs.

COMMITTEE ADJUSTMENTS
Program reductions .--The Committee is concerned with the growing
difficulties experienced by the Navy in sustaining non-deployed
readiness. Past shortfalls in non-deployed readiness, and recruiting
programs have now degraded the readiness of deploying units. The
Committee has recommended program increases for weapons maintenance,
real property maintenance, ship depot maintenance and repair, and the
Shipyard Apprentice program. Programs such as Air Systems Support and
Fleet Ballistic Missile programs were decreased due to consistent under
execution of funds. Funding for the Pentagon renovation has been
transferred to the Pentagon renovation transfer fund.
Barrow landfill .--Of the funds provided in this account, the
Committee directs the Department of the Navy to provide $3,000,000 for
costs associated with the closure of the Barrow landfill. The Department
of Defense sited, developed, and managed this landfill for 31 years,
with the Naval Arctic Research Laboratory located at Barrow as the
primary user of the facility. The Committee urges the Department of
Defense to continue to work with the North Slope Borough in closing the
landfill and determining continuing funding responsibilities. These
funds should be provided to the appropriate local government entity.
Shipyard Apprenticeship Program .--The Committee recommends an
increase of $12,000,000 for the Shipyard Apprenticeship Program at the
public shipyards. The downsizing over the past decade at our Navy
shipyards has increased the average age of the shipyard worker to nearly
45 years, and limited the ability of Navy managers to hire new
apprentices. The Committee believes this matter requires sustained
attention. Funds have been added to augment working capital funds and
other resources to ensure that this program is not forced to compete
with depot maintenance requirements. The Committee expects these funds
shall only be used to support apprentices, and that the funding provided
shall be in addition to any other resources requested in the budget for
work force revitalization. The Committee directs the Navy to report to
the Appropriations Committees by April 1, 2000, on the status of this
program, by shipyard.
Shipyard infrastructure repairs .--From within the funds provided
for the maintenance of real property, $9,900,000 may be used for the
repair of the Charleston Naval Shipyard, and $9,900,000 may be used for
the conversion of the former Philadelphia Naval Shipyard.
Propeller Maintenance and Overhaul .--The Committee directs the Navy
to establish a pilot program for the purpose of verifying cost savings
that can be achieved through the use of a west coast propeller overhaul
facility. The Committee further directs that the selected facility
provide innovative repair processes and comprehensive training programs
proven to enhance propeller system reliability and enhance mission
readiness at reduced costs. The selected facility should be an FAA
authorized repair station capable of servicing applicable models of the
propeller system used on the target fleet of Western Pacific based C 130
and P 3 aircraft.
The Committee further directs the Navy to provide the Committee with
a cost benefit analysis that includes reliability improvement data
resulting from this study of a west coast pilot facility.
Sale of Navy Drydock No. 9 (AFDM 3) .--The lease covering Navy
Drydock No. 9 (AFDM 3) shall be deemed to include all clauses authorized
by section 2667(b) of title 10, U.S. Code. The Secretary of the Navy is
directed to sell the drydock to the lessee at its fair market value, as
provided by that law, upon receipt of a written notice from the lessee
of its intent to exercise its option to purchase the leased property.
For purposes of this provision, the term ``fair market value'' means the
value of the drydock in its present condition less the estimated cost of
scrapping the vessel.
Public Service Initiative .--The United States must ensure close
cooperation and understanding between the military and civil components
of society. Fewer people, including leaders, perform military service
now than in our recent history. As a pilot program, the Navy should work
with the legislative branch center for public service to include
military service in its public service programs.

COMMITTEE ADJUSTMENTS
Program reductions .--The Committee observes that the budget request
for Marine Corps expeditionary forces readiness is below the levels
appropriated in fiscal year 1999. Past funding shortfalls in Navy and
Marine Corps non-deployed readiness activities have begun to degrade the
readiness of deploying units. To mitigate this funding shortfall, the
Committee has recommended program increases for initial issue, real
property maintenance, distance learning and Marine-option NROTC. Funding
for the Pentagon renovation has been transferred to the Pentagon
renovation transfer fund.

COMMITTEE ADJUSTMENTS
Program reductions .--The Committee supports the Air Force efforts
to adapt force structure to the Air Expeditionary Force concept, and
remedy spare parts shortfalls. Air Force operation and maintenance
programs are generally growing at a rate greater than inflation. The
budget request sought general funding increases to some programs that
had not realized planned savings in prior years. The Committee
recommends several adjustments to programs with unjustified program
growth such as service-wide communications, and contract costs. Other
programs such as Space Control Systems, Launch Vehicles, and Arms
Control have experienced under execution of funds. Funding for the
Pentagon renovation has been transferred to the Pentagon renovation
transfer fund.
B 52 attrition reserve aircraft .--Despite the clear direction of
the Committee, which was provided in Senate Report 105 200, the Air
Force has decided to reduce the total aircraft inventory of B 52s during
fiscal year 2000. The Committee has provided sufficient operation and
maintenance funding to support a force structure of 94 aircraft. No
later than June 1, 2000, the Secretary of the Air Force shall report to
the Committee any intention or proposal to reduce the B 52s from the
level directed. Additionally, the Committee directs the Air Force to
treat all 94 B 52s now in the force structure as aircraft to be retained
for the six year period beginning October 1, 1999.
Myrtle Beach Air Force Base .--The Committee urges the Air Force to
initiate environmental restoration at this site to correct long-standing
environmental concerns.
Radioactive iodine experimentation .--The Committee strongly
supports the progress that the Air Force has made in resolving the claim
filed on behalf of the Inupiat Eskimos who were subjected to radioactive
iodine 131 experimentation by the Air Force in the mid-1950's. The
Committee directs the Secretary of the Air Force to report to the
congressional defense committees on the resolution of this matter no
later than October 15, 1999.
Air Force Plant No. 3 .--The Committee encourages the Secretary of
the Air Force to transfer by deed to the City of Tulsa, Oklahoma, all of
the property known as Air Force Plant No. 3. The Committee strongly
urges the Air Force to work cooperatively with the City of Tulsa to
mitigate the remaining environmental contamination on this property as
expeditiously as possible. The Committee directs the Secretary of the
Air Force to report on the status of the title transfer no later than
December 15, 1999.
Global Combat Support System-Air Force (GCSS AF) .--The Committee is
pleased with the Air Force's progress on the modernization and
integration of critical combat support systems under the Global Combat
Support System-Air Force (GCSS AF) contract. This activity is important
to future combat readiness and is a major step toward interoperability
between the combat support systems of all services. The key to the
success of this effort is the underlying foundation of system
architecture and integration. The many benefits to be gained from
continued modernization and integration work under the GCSS AF contract
are clear, particularly in terms of reduced long-term maintenance costs
for outdated legacy systems.
Tinker and Altus Air Force Base repairs .--The Committee recommends
an increase of $25,000,000 to real property maintenance to provide for
the repair of damages resulting from tornadoes in May of 1999. The Air
Force shall fund fully all military personnel and flying hour costs
related to the restoration of these bases.
Air Force Technical Applications Center .--Preventing the
proliferation of nuclear weapons is one of the most important issues
facing the U.S. today. Multiple nuclear tests detonated by India and
Pakistan emphasize the need for a continued strong nuclear monitoring
capability. The Committee has funded fully the budget request for Air
Force Technical Applications Center's (AFTAC) and strongly encourages
AFTAC to make meeting its operational nuclear
