Week Ending April 15, 2005

 

 

HR 1268 making emergency supplemental appropriations for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2005.

 

 

BRIEF

  The bill is President Bush’s supplemental request for $81.9 billion in emergency funds most of which will be spent on a variety of military needs including special funds to fight terrorism, replenishing military supplies world-wide, construction projects and the operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.

   The original spending breakdown requested by the President was $75 billion for Department of Defense operations (DOD), $5 billion for “international operations”, $1 billion for tsunami relief and $.4 billion for counter-terrorism efforts by the Departments of Energy and Homeland Security and other agencies. The House, however, reduced the total amount by about $700 billion to $81.2 billion. Within that amount the House increased the military spending to $76.8 billion by reducing requested funds for some international operations it believed were not justified or were not strictly emergency spending.

   The Senate cut the funding further: The Senate Committee approved $80.6 billion - $1.5 billion below the President's supplemental request and $758 million below the House allowance. Defense spending would equal nearly $74.5 billion for defense related programs. Tsunami relief garnered $907.3 billion.

   Like the House version but then some, the Senate bill goes further to modify or alter through transfer of funds and otherwise, many domestic projects including domestic emergency watershed protection spending around $238.4 billion. Other matters tended to in the bill include release of funds regarding off-channel sanctuaries for the silvery minnow in New Mexico, initiate health effects research during the replacement of the Chernobyl Shelter Implementation Plan and clarification of spending for a visitor’s center at Yellowstone National Park.

   The Senate bill, unlike the House version, does not include language concerning the immediate creation of and adherence to rules establishing uniform driver licenses throughout the states, noting that another bill, HR 418, contains the same language. $11 million would help lift the hiring freeze under which Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency has been living and 79 new border agents could be hired of which 50 would be in detention and removal operations, 25 in investigations and 4 in the legal department.

 

Sponsor: Representative Jerry Lewis (R-CA)

Vote: The bill was amended but did not receive a final vote. Further debate is expected next week.

Cost to the taxpayers: President’s plan-$81.9 billion; House plan-$81.2 billion; Senate plan $80.5 billion.

MILITARY PERSONNEL-ARMY, NAVY, MARINES, AIR FORCE, USAR, USNR, USMR, USAFR, ARMY GUARD, AIRFORCE GUARD.

The Committee recommends $17,531,786,000 for pay, allowances, subsistence, and other personnel costs for Active, Guard, and Reserve troops activated for duty in Iraq, Afghanistan, and other areas around the world in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom, Operation Enduring Freedom and the Global War on Terror. This recommendation includes funding for special pays, including Imminent Danger Pay, Family Separation Allowance, foreign language proficiency pay, and Hardship Duty Pay. To sustain the readiness levels of deploying units, this recommendation supports the pay of personnel affected by military stop-loss programs and personnel maintained on active duty above the normal end strength levels. This recommendation also includes funding for increased unemployment compensation costs associated with demobilization of Reserve Component members, and additional retention incentives for Special Operations Forces.

Included in the Committee's recommendation are funds to be available for extra reimbursement payments to the Servicemembers' Group Life Insurance [SGLI] program and for enhanced payments for certain death gratuities. This recommendation includes general provisions to authorize the Department of Defense to increase to $500,000 the amount that can be paid to the surviving families. This $500,000 amount is a combination of a $100,000 death gratuity (increased from $12,420) and $400,000 of elective coverage under SGLI (increased from $250,000 maximum coverage).

    The Committee is also aware and concerned about the challenges the Defense Department, particularly the Army and Marine Corps, faces to meet the recruiting goals that are necessary to support the authorized end strength. Included in the recommendation are funds to support recruiting and retention efforts.

The following table provides details of the Committee's recommendations for the military personnel accounts:

HMMWV Recapitalization- In Title IX of the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2005 (Public Law 108-287), Congress appropriated $56,050,000 in the `Operation and Maintenance, Army' account for Brigade Restructuring HMMWV Recapitalization. The Committee understands that according to Army General Counsel, `Other Procurement, Army' is the appropriate account for execution of these funds. In order to comply with the original intent of Congress, the Committee directs the Army to transfer the HMMWV Recapitalization funding provided in Title IX of Public Law 108-287 to the `Other Procurement, Army' account for execution following normal reprogramming procedures.

EOD Support to Address IED Threats- Explosive Ordnance Disposal personnel are at the forefront of efforts to protect our troops by neutralizing improvised explosive devices [IEDs] in Iraq and other theaters as well as disposal of munitions that could otherwise be used against United States or allied forces. The Navy Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technology Division [EOD-TechDiv] exploits technology and intelligence to develop and deliver EOD information, tools, and equipment for Joint EOD forces deployed worldwide. The Committee encourages the Department of Defense to identify funding for the EOD-TechDiv to bring on additional manpower to provide technical support to operational EOD forces 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Committee recommends $580,427,000 for the Special Operations Command. This is $55,000,000 below the budget request. Of this amount $30,000,000 was reduced for classified programs and $25,000,000 is not recommended for the payment to irregular forces or other groups. The Committee believes this authority is unnecessary considering other authorities and funding which have been provided elsewhere.

Support of Coalition Liaison Officers- The supplemental request includes a provision that would extend the authority provided in 10 U.S.C. 1051a to September 30, 2006. The current authority expires September 30, 2005. Under this authority, the Secretary of Defense may reimburse coalition liaison officers from another nation for travel, subsistence, and other personnel expenses. The Committee understands the extension of this authority is also included in the fiscal year 2006 Department of Defense legislative package. The Committee, therefore, does not include the proposed provision in this bill and expects this legislation to be addressed in the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2006.

Military Tents- The Committee encourages the Department of Defense to use some of the funds in the Operation and Maintenance account to clear the backlog of military tents.

Guard UH-60 Replacement- The Committee recognizes that the Army National Guard provides 40 percent of the Total Army's utility aviation force, and that the Army has identified an ARNG requirement of 710 H-60 airframes. The Committee is also aware that as a result of operations in Afghanistan and Iraq, the Guard is experiencing a severe shortfall in these assets. This shortfall has been compounded by the loss of six of these Guard aircraft during operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Committee encourages the Secretary of the Army to consider the Guard and Reserve with respect to replacing lost aircraft.

Electronic Jammers (Warlocks)- The Committee is concerned that the supplemental request contains no funding for the electronic jammers used to combat remote-controlled bombs in Iraq when the Army is drastically short of the number of jammers required for force protection in theater. While the Committee commends the Army for working to deploy `next-generation' electronic jamming systems later this year, the Committee believes the Army needs to aggressively pursue the deployment of existing Improvised Explosive Device [IED] countermeasures. To accelerate the fielding of existing technology, the Committee provides $25,000,000 for Warlock electronic jamming systems.

DD(X) Integrated Power System- Land-based testing of the Integrated Power System for DD(X), the next-generation Navy destroyer, is scheduled for this summer. During this testing, the Navy plans to use a fall back motor option instead of the Permanent Magnet Motor [PMM] being developed as part of the DD(X) program. The Committee is aware the PMM is significantly lighter and smaller than the fall back option and is much more efficient than any other motor option. The Committee, therefore, directs the Navy to continue PMM development efforts and evaluate conducting land-based testing of the PMM prior to Production Readiness Review [PRR].

The Committee recommends $225,550,000 for the Defense Health Program. The recommendation is $50,000,000 above the estimate. The Committee recommends that the additional $50,000,000 be directed to the Army to address funding shortfalls for military treatment facilities [MTFs].

CHEMICAL AGENTS AND MUNITIONS DESTRUCTION, ARMY

The Committee is concerned with the status of the Chemical Demilitarization program. The cost of operations and development of new facilities is growing at a disturbing rate. The increasing expenses when combined with delays in developing the Blue Grass and Pueblo Chemical Munitions Disposal Facilities are placing the nation's ability to meet the Chemical Weapons Convention Treaty requirements at risk. The Committee believes the Chemical Demilitarization program will require significantly more funding to comply with the Treaty.

Further, the Committee understands the Department of Defense is conducting a study of the program to determine options to address the cost growth and funding issues. While the Committee understands the need to perform a review to address challenges that arise, the Committee does not support the use of appropriated funds for any studies that consider transporting chemical munitions across state lines. Also, the Committee directs the Department to continue operations to destroy chemical munitions and continue to develop new sites while the study is on-going. The Treaty timelines are too constrained to permit the Newport plant to be idle or to delay development of the Blue Grass and Pueblo facility sites. Further, the Committee expects that all of the planned sites will be developed and operated to include Blue Grass and Pueblo and instructs the Department of Defense to begin obligation of funds at Blue Grass and Pueblo immediately. The Committee has included Section 1115 to address these matters.

The Committee directs the Department of Defense to prepare a report to be delivered to the congressional defense committees not later than 90 days after enactment of this Act, that (1) addresses the funding required by year to develop, operate and complete the Chemical Demilitarization program within Treaty requirements, (2) provides the Department's plan to fully fund the program in order to comply with the Treaty, (3) describes the Department's plan for each of the known sites or facilities (Tooele, Anniston, Umatilla, Pine Bluff, Aberdeen, Newport, Blue Grass, and Pueblo), and (4) addresses whether the Army should have executive agent responsibility for Assembled Chemical Weapons Alternatives [ACWA]. The Committee also directs the Department of Defense to submit a report detailing the current status of obligations and expenditures at both sites covered under the ACWA program. This report shall be provided to the Defense Committees 60 days following enactment and every 60 days thereafter until the funds are fully expended.

TO TOP

 

 

MILITARY CONSTRUCTION ARMY; NAVY/MARINES; AIR FORCE

The Committee carefully reviewed the Department's request for emergency military construction funds. In addition to scrutinizing the detailed proposal for each project, the Committee reviewed the request with two broad criteria in mind: whether the proposed spending is truly of an emergency nature, and whether the construction of permanent facilities (where proposed), rather than those of a more expeditionary nature, is appropriate.

Emergency funding is appropriate in limited circumstances. The need must have been impossible to anticipate in time for inclusion in a regular budget request, or of such an urgent nature that construction of a facility must begin before regular appropriations would be available. Construction projects by their nature have long lead times and meeting the `emergency nature' test is difficult. This becomes increasingly true the longer the Global War on Terror endures and operations approach a more steady state.

The question of permanence also bears on whether supplemental emergency funding is appropriate. In some cases (e.g., construction of a runway for heavy aircraft) it may not be possible to distinguish usefully between temporary and permanent facilities. But in many cases useful distinctions can be made. Given the expeditionary nature of our Nation's efforts in Southwest Asia, the Committee would expect temporary facilities to be the rule rather than the exception. The Committee recognizes that some facilities may support longer-term plans for an enduring presence in the region, but the very fact that such projects are part of long-term planning argues against their inclusion in an emergency appropriation. The nature of the United States' long-term presence in the region remains largely undecided and should be determined before extensive investments in permanent facilities are made. Generally, projects intended to support a longer-term enduring presence should be requested in the normal budget process, in which both authorization and appropriations committees have an opportunity to carefully consider the request.

With these criteria in mind, the Committee recommends supporting much, but not all, of the Department's request. The Committee believes that all the proposed projects have merit and ultimately would provide useful capability in the field, but this is an insufficient test for determining whether appropriations should be provided on an emergency basis outside the normal authorization and appropriations process.

Fuel Tank Farm, Bagram, Afghanistan.--The Army proposes expending $57,000,000 to construct a fuel tank farm at Bagram Airfield, Afghanistan. Justification documents note that the current facility uses fuel bladders that must be replaced at an annualized cost of $1,500,000. The time required to recover the costs of this project will thus take a number of years beyond the current planning horizon. It's possible that plans could evolve for a longer-term presence at Bagram that would better justify this expenditure, but in that event this project should be considered in the regular authorization and appropriation process. The Committee recommends no funds for this project.

Prime Power Generation, Bagram, Afghanistan- The Army proposes expending $31,600,000 for prime power generation at Bagram Airfield, Afghanistan. A field visit to Bagram confirmed that there is no construction involved in this project, which would simply replace leased diesel generators with purchased generators. For this reason, this project should be funded under the procurement account rather than military construction.

Moreover, there was virtually no lucid justification offered for this project. Army and Central Command officials could not provide the Committee with consistent data regarding current leasing expenses and how long it would take to recoup the costs of procuring new generators. Although the Form 1391 cited poor air quality caused by the current generators' exhaust as justification for this project, the nearly identical purchased generators, which the Army plans to site in the same location, would not mitigate this problem. And although the Army plans to create an industrial area at Bagram, it has no plans to move power generation to this area, even though the generators are immediately adjacent to billeting areas.

The fuel farm and power plant projects are symptomatic of what the Committee perceives as a lack of coherent master planning for facilities at Bagram. The Committee recognizes that, under combat conditions, expediency is necessarily a prime factor in establishing facilities in the field. However, as our Nation makes the transition to a more steady state of operations in the Global War on Terror, and as facilities are reshaped from an expeditionary to an enduring character, more methodical facility planning must take hold. Bagram Airfield promises to be an important and perhaps enduring location in the future, but there is little evidence of coherent master planning, fully coordinated between the Army and the Air Force, for this facility. The Committee believes such a plan is necessary before it can recommend significant further investment at this base.

Aircraft Hangar, Fort Drum, New York.--The Army is embarked on a rapid reorganization of its combat forces into 43 Brigade Combat Team (Units of Action). Although reorganizational efforts would not normally be considered emergencies, the Committee has supported this `Modularity' initiative because of the Army's assurances that the effort was crucial to properly training and equipping forces rotating in and out of Southwest Asia in support of the Global War on Terror. Indeed, to date, all facilities for this effort have been temporary, supporting the notion that this effort could not wait. However, the proposed aircraft hangar at Fort Drum is not a temporary facility and does not directly support the Modularity effort. Rather, it is part of a separate effort to transform Army aviation, one that, while important, has been funded through the normal authorization and appropriations process.

The Committee has similar concerns about the proposed $70,000,000 expense for Operational Readiness Training Barracks, also permanent facilities requested under the rubric of Modularity. However because these barracks will be located at bases hosting units involved in the rotation of forces into and out of Southwest Asia, the Committee believes these facilities have a more direct connection to the ongoing war effort. The Committee cautions, however, that the Department has now had ample time to incorporate requirements to support Modularity into its annual budget requests. The Committee is unlikely to regard supplemental appropriations as an appropriate vehicle for future efforts supporting Modularity.

Force Structure Review Group.--The Marine Corps request includes $75,000,000 for facilities to support restructuring initiated under the Force Structure Review Group. Like the Army Modularity effort, this restructuring is intended to enable the Marine Corps to better support ongoing operations in the Global War on Terror. The Committee supports this effort, but as with the Army's, is concerned about the practice of reorganizational efforts being deemed emergencies and funded via supplemental appropriations. Moreover, the Committee is concerned that this request funds only half of the requirements identified by the Marine Corps, with the rest to come in the regular appropriation cycle. The Committee has difficulty understanding how only part of this effort can be an emergency. Notwithstanding these concerns, and recognizing the burdens shouldered by the Marine Corps in the ongoing Global War on Terror, the Committee recommends funding these projects, but directs the Department to incorporate further such requests into the regular budget process.

Aerial Port, Ali Al Salem Air Base, Kuwait- The Air Force seeks $75,500,000 to construct an aerial port at Ali Al Salem Air Base in Kuwait. This would be the first phase of a multi-phase project, the full scope of which is yet undetermined, as are cost-sharing arrangements with the host nation. Aerial Port operations are now conducted at Kuwait City International Airport [KCIA] and the Government of Kuwait has requested that the United States move its operations to Ali Al Salem in order to free space at the airport, in part--according to Air Force officials--to facilitate creation of a free trade zone around Kuwait City.

This is clearly a permanent facility intended to support a long-term presence in the region. Moreover, while the first phase would provide some initial capability, the aerial port facility will not reach its full capacity, and complete removal from KCIA will not be possible, without substantial additional construction, including extensive runway repair identified subsequent to submission of the supplemental budget request. As such, the Committee cannot agree that construction of this facility constitutes an emergency requirement and does not recommend funds for it. Because moving out of Kuwait City to Ali Al Salem is largely for the benefit of Kuwait, the Committee urges the Department to pursue host nation funding for this project. If U.S. funding still is required, the project should be requested in the regular authorization and appropriations cycle.

ISR Launch and Recovery Facility and Maintenance Complex, Al Dhafra Air Base, United Arab Emirates- The Department requests $66,000,000 for this facility. The justification states that operations are currently being conducted out of expeditionary facilities and this project `is a key component of the consolidation of CENTAF force structure in the Southwest Asia Area of Operations. . . .' Because the United States is in fact engaged in expeditionary operations in Southwest Asia, the Committee believes expeditionary facilities are not inappropriate. A longer-term presence with more permanent force structure may be in the interests of the United States, but plans for such a presence--and requests for the facilities to support that presence--should be presented to the Congress in the regular authorization and appropriation process. Moreover, according to Central Command officials, no discussions have been held with the Government of the United Arab Emirates regarding additional planned construction at Al Dhafra, terms of use for new facilities, and potential cost-sharing with the host nation. The Committee believes there should be agreement with the host nation on these issues before the United States commits to extensive construction supporting an enduring presence. The Committee recognizes that ISR operations at Al Dhafra would be more expedient and less difficult if a permanent facility replaced the current expeditionary capability, but it cannot consider this construction an emergency and recommends no funds for this project.

Repair/Install Airfield Lighting, Balad Air Base, Iraq.--The Department asks for $25,000,000 to repair and replace airfield lighting at Balad Air Base. This amount is several times higher than similar efforts at other air bases in the region, with no convincing justification for the disparity offered. Moreover, most of the planned work is repair, which can be accomplished with operation and maintenance funds. The Committee recommends a reduction of $10,000,000 in this project.

The Committee recommends $757,700,000 for diplomatic and consular programs, a decrease of $9,500,000 from the request. The request included $767,200,000 for diplomatic and consular programs, to include logistical, security and other costs associated with operations in Iraq, security and operational costs associated with operations in Afghanistan, and, the initial costs for the Active Response Corps. The Committee recommends $7,700,000 for the Office of the Coordinator for Reconstruction and Stabilization, a reduction of $1,700,000, and expects funding to support additional personnel requirements in Washington and Sudan. The Committee recommendation does not include $7,800,000 for a proposed Active Response Corps. As costs and programs of these new activities are better identified, the Committee will consider any proposed reprogramming of funds.

The Committee is aware of security concerns that will affect United States Missions in Iraq and Afghanistan and the challenges faced to provide secure, safe, and functional facilities for Mission employees by screening of personnel and their belongings for explosives that cannot be detected by magnetometer or X-ray. The Committee notes that the Department of Homeland Security has made great strides in the research and development of technologies to detect explosives in the transportation sector to prevent terrorist acts that have applications to support United States diplomatic and consular mission security efforts. The Committee recommends that not less than $10,000,000 be made available for the enhancement of Embassy security in Iraq and Afghanistan by acquiring explosives detection technologies certified and/or deployed by the Department of Homeland Security.

The Committee directs the Secretary of State to submit a report to the Committees on Appropriations, not later than 90 days after enactment of this Act and 180 days thereafter, detailing: (1) the steps the Iraqi Government is taking to make the receipt and management of revenues, including oil revenues, transparent and publicly accountable; and, (2) the steps the United States is taking to improve the capacity of the Iraqi Government to achieve this goal.

The request included $658,000,000 to construct the permanent New Embassy Compound in Baghdad, Iraq. In planning for the construction of this Embassy, the Department of State has relied on several optimistic planning factors: first, a construction workforce of 2,000 personnel, laboring in a permissive security environment, will be able to complete construction within 24 months; second, projected mission staffing levels will approximate those needed for current operations and conditions; and, third, that the square footage and acreage required for the Embassy Compound should be commensurate with wartime staffing levels.

The Committee commends the Department of State for developing a construction plan that is graduated, and subject to being scaled back based on actual requirements in Baghdad. The Committee recommends $592,000,000 for the New Embassy Compound, a level commensurate with reduced mission staffing levels.

The Committee is aware that in excess of 1,000 individuals are currently in custody in Haiti's National Penitentiary, of which less than 1 percent have been convicted and sentenced. In addition, it is estimated that in excess of 1,000 unreported individuals are in custody in Haiti's police jails. The Committee notes that prolonged detention without charge is illegal in Haiti, and believes that USAID should immediately address this life threatening and potentially explosive situation.

The Committee commends the people of Afghanistan for the significant progress achieved to date, and underscores its commitment to long-term assistance for that country. The Committee expects additional funding for Afghanistan to be requested through the regular annual appropriations process.

The Committee remains concerned about the thousands of internally displaced persons in Afghanistan who lack sufficient shelter, clothing, heating fuel, safe water, food and other basic necessities. Accordingly, the Committee includes not less than $5,000,000 for assistance for Afghan IDPs.

The Committee reiterates its support for the civic education programs conducted by Voice for Humanity [VFH] in Afghanistan, and recommends not less than $7,000,000 for these activities in support of anticipated parliamentary elections later this year.

The Committee expects the Department of State and USAID to place an emphasis on programs that address the needs of women and people with disabilities.

The Committee is alarmed by reports of anti-aircraft missiles smuggled from Egypt to Gaza and recognizes the immediate threat these missiles pose to civilian aircraft in the region. The Committee notes that the budget request does not contain direct support for the Palestinian Authority, and concurs strongly with this position and expects that to be maintained. The Committee directs the Department of State to report within 30 days after enactment of this Act on the status and threats posed to civilian aircraft by the reported smuggled missiles, and specific steps taken by the Palestinian Authority to mitigate this threat.

The Committee recognizes the importance of adequate health care for Palestinian women and children and recommends $3,500,000 be provided to support the activities of the Holy Family Hospital in Bethlehem.

The Committee reiterates that conditions and restrictions on assistance for the West Bank, Gaza and the Palestinian Authority contained in the General Provisions section of division D of Public Law 108-447 apply to assistance for the West Bank and Gaza recommended under this heading, as well as the separate account requirement contained in section 529 of that law.

The Committee recommends $70,000,000 for an additional amount for Assistance for the Independent States of the Former Soviet Union, of which $60,000,000 is for assistance for Ukraine.

The Committee recognizes the historic achievements of the Orange Revolution and believes that additional funding will help promote and consolidate vital political and economic reforms in that country.

The Committee strongly supports programs to strengthen Ukrainian civil society organizations, which play a key role in the consolidation of democracy. The Committee believes that support for these organizations should be increased, and recommends not less than $3,650,000 for these programs.

The Committee recognizes the unique opportunity that exists to promote democracy in Belarus, given the success of freedom in neighboring Ukraine. The Committee recommends $5,000,000 for these efforts to be administered by the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor at the Department of State, and expects not less than $2,000,000 to be provided for activities that strengthen democratic political parties in that country.

The Committee is concerned that there are also urgent humanitarian, conflict mitigation, and recovery needs in Chechnya, Ingushetia, and elsewhere in the North Caucasus. The Committee includes not less than $5,000,000 for these purposes, to be administered by USAID's Moscow Mission and Office of Conflict Management and Mitigation, in consultation with the Committees on Appropriations.

The Committee notes with interest recent political developments in the Kyrgyz Republic, and urges the Department of State to secure the agreement of all participating States of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe [OSCE] to significantly expand the existing OSCE mission in that country. The Committee believes that the OSCE is in a unique position to respond to these developments by assisting with the Kyrgyz Republic's democratic transition, including through the promotion of democratic institutions, good governance, and respect for human rights.

The Committee recommends $660,000,000, an amount equal to the request, for police and counternarcotics programs in Afghanistan. None of the funds recommended by the Committee may be available for aerial eradication programs within Afghanistan absent a formal request by the President of Afghanistan seeking such support.

The supplemental request included $46,500,000 for the operation and maintenance of a United States-owned and operated fleet of helicopters (to be procured with fiscal year 2005 funds reprogrammed from other activities) to support eradication of illicit crops. Subsequent to the supplemental request, the Congress denied the reprogramming of funds for the procurement of helicopters. Consequently, the Department of State no longer has a need for the operation and maintenance funds described above. To promote stability within Afghanistan the Committee recommends that $44,500,000 be available only for the establishment of a pilot program to train local Afghan police forces. The Department of State is to submit a report to the Committee not later than July 1, 2005 containing a proposal for establishing such a program, and the intended expenditure of the recommended funds.

The Committee recommends not less than $2,000,000 of these funds be transferred to and merged with `Economic Support Fund' for USAID's program to assist Afghan civilians who have suffered losses as a result of military operations in Afghanistan.

The Committee recommends $108,400,000 for an additional amount for Migration and Refugee Assistance. Of this amount, $48,400,000 is to meet the urgent needs of Sudanese refugees in Chad and internally displaced persons in Darfur, Sudan, and $5,000,000 is to facilitate the return and reintegration of Sudanese refugees from neighboring countries.

The Committee is aware that the Department of State has identified and could process up to 55,000 refugees for admission into the United States in fiscal year 2005, but that due to unanticipated costs resulting from accelerated processing to meet the President's admissions target as well as enhanced security requirements, funds previously appropriated for refugee admissions in fiscal year 2005 are sufficient to admit only 41,000 refugees. The Committee recognizes that unless this $25,900,000 funding shortfall is addressed in fiscal year 2005, a backlog will result in fiscal year 2006 and beyond. The Committee includes sufficient funding to process 55,000 refugees. The Committee also includes additional funds to address the compelling needs of refugees and displaced persons in Africa, including Sudan, Liberia, and Uganda.

The request included $210,000,000 for Peacekeeping Operations to fund military and other security assistance for important coalition partners. The Committee is aware that many of our coalition allies have deferred training and modernization in order to fund their respective deployments to either Iraq or Afghanistan. The Committee recommends $210,000,000 to assist our allies in force modernization, training, and to improve their respective capabilities for future deployments.

The Committee urges the Secretary of State to consider the following coalition partners for assistance: Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, El Salvador, Ukraine, Mongolia, Georgia, Lithuania, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, and Albania.

The Committee understands that Israel's planned withdrawal from the Gaza Strip, and the potential deployment of Egyptian Border Guards, may result in unforeseen costs to the Multinational Force and Observers [MFO] in the Sinai. The Committee recommends that of the funds provided for Peacekeeping Operations, up to $10,000,000 may be available for additional costs borne by the MFO related to Israel's withdrawal from the Gaza Strip.

While the OIG's funding and staff levels have remained level or reduced slightly in recent years, its oversight requirements have increased significantly, in part due to the substantial growth and changes within the Federal Bureau of Investigation [FBI]. Increases included in this Act, for example, will directly impact the OIG's ongoing reviews of the Terrorist Screening Center and the FBI's activities in Iraq. The recommendation therefore ensures the OIG has the resources necessary to continue these and other critical reviews within the FBI and the Department of Justice.

Recent events prove a need for increased judicial security, including outside courthouse facilities, which falls under the jurisdiction of the USMS. The Committee believes the USMS should reevaluate existing policies governing when and whether suspicious threats and inappropriate communications demand judicial protection. The Committee also recommends funding increases to enhance the USMS's ability to assess and respond to such threats, including funding for off-site security enhancements such as home intrusion detection systems. Specifically, the Committee recommends $2,906,000 for additional Judicial Security Inspectors to survey judicial residences and other relevant locations outside the Federal courthouse; $2,456,000 for the Technical Operations Group for surveillance activities and equipment; $4,883,000 for protective intelligence data gathering; and $1,690,000 for the Office of Protective Intelligence data analysis.

The Committee recommends $66,512,000 for the Federal Bureau of Investigation [FBI]. The recommendation is $13,488,000 below the request and $12,458,000 below the House recommendation.

The Committee does not agree with the FBI's reliance on emergency funding to support the anticipated and ongoing requirements of critical programs, including the FBI's activities in Iraq and the Terrorist Screening Center. The Committee believes the FBI should have included the necessary funding to support these programs in its fiscal year 2005 budget request or through a reprogramming of existing resources from lower priority missions. The Committee directs the FBI to submit such a reprogramming should either of these programs require additional funding before the end of this fiscal year, subject to the notification requirements in the Departments of Commerce, Justice, and State, the Judiciary, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2005.

Iraq Activities- The Committee recommends $29,062,000 for the FBI's activities in Iraq, including: $8,002,000 for tactical weapons, ammunition, equipment and outfitting; $7,000,000 for overtime and hazardous duty pay; and $14,060,000 for airlift, travel, processing and deployment. The Committee recognizes the FBI's important role in Iraq, which includes pursuing counterterrorism leads by interviewing detainees and exploiting documents, providing force protection to Department of Justice personnel, and, along side the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, providing diagnostic and render safe procedures on improvised explosive devices.

Terrorist Screening Center- The Committee also recommends $31,450,000 for the Terrorist Screening Center [TSC], including: $2,296,000 for office supplies and equipment; $19,060,000 for information technology requirements; $4,000,000 for contract staff; $2,000,000 for training and security; $1,531,000 for disaster recovery; and $2,563,000 for connectivity with the Violent Gang and Terrorist Organization File.

A Government Accountability Office report released in April 2003 found that nine Federal agencies maintained 12 separate watch lists that included information about known or suspected terrorists, and that technical and bureaucratic problems hindered the ability to share information between agencies even after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. In response, TSC was established to consolidate the government's approach to terrorism screening. As such, TSC has consolidated the 12 separate watch lists, and provides operational support for law enforcement, consular offices and other officials as appropriate.

Since its creation, TSC has requested funding in an ad hoc manner without consideration of long-term requirements and funding needs. To some extent, this is understandable because TSC was recently established and its requirements are directly connected to the unknown future missions and needs of other Federal agencies and entities relying on TSC's support. Even so, the Committee believes a long-term plan for TSC is necessary and therefore directs the FBI to submit, no later than September 1, 2005, a report that includes the following: (1) a 5 year staffing and spend plan for TSC; (2) a list of TSC's existing and projected users, their sponsoring agency, and that agency's financial and in-kind contributions to TSC; (3) a comprehensive description and direct cost estimate of the unique needs of these users by agency, fiscal year, project, program and activity; (4) an estimated cost on a by-user basis (including a listing of each user agency); and (5) any additional TSC requirements and the costs associated with those requirements.

In the meantime, TSC should concentrate efforts and resources on developing a permanent workforce, rather than relying on 1 to 3 month personnel rotations, and acquiring a facility that will meet its future space requirements. Therefore, funding requested for travel costs associated with temporary duty staff and to renovate existing space already too small to accommodate existing personnel is not included. Hovever, to address additional space needs, the Committee authorizes the FBI to execute a lease of up to 160,000 square feet of space for TSC within the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area.

Strategic Technologies and Applications Section- In addition, the Committee recommends $6,000,000 for the Special Technologies and Applications Section [STAS]. STAS has proven its ability to plan, develop and deploy complex computer systems that result in measurable improvements in the FBI's intelligence process. The Committee is aware of a recently developed tool that will significantly expedite and enhance intelligence analysis. This funding shall be used to begin the transition of this most recent technical analysis system from a pilot program to production use, consistent with STAS's rapid prototyping and development methodology.

The Committee recommends $26,000,000 for the consolidation and transfer of special nuclear material from TA-18 at Los Alamos National Laboratory to the Device Assembly Facility, Nevada and other matters with the weapons program. The administration did not request funding to support the transfer of this material as part of the President's fiscal year 2005 budget, but this represents a necessary expenditure to secure Category I, special nuclear material and ship it out of TA-18 to the Device Assembly Facility in Nevada. The National Nuclear Security Administration is prepared to execute this transfer this fiscal year.

While the Committee supports the Megaports initiative, it is recognized that not all of the funding proposed by the administration can be spent in fiscal year 2005. The Committee will address Megaports funding as part of the fiscal year 2006 budget. The Committee also recommends $55,000,000 to address urgent priorities outside of the former Soviet Union to secure nuclear material from diversion or theft by terrorists or states of concern.

Committee recommendation

276,000,000

The Committee recommends an additional $276,000,000 for Immigration and Customs Enforcement [ICE] salaries and expenses. The entire amount is designated as an emergency requirement.

ICE, since its creation in March of 2003 within the Department of Homeland Security, has suffered base funding shortfalls. Despite the Committee's efforts to address the shortfall, this situation has continued, denying ICE the ability to carry out its vital immigration and customs investigation and detention and removal functions. The Committee is aware that the situation within ICE is due not only to lack of resources, but also to poor internal financial controls and ill-advised management decisions. Despite this, the Committee believes that the adverse impact of hiring and spending freezes and uncertainty on the operations of this critical agency constitute a serious emergency that must be addressed. The Department needs to rectify this situation and end the cycle of stopgap solutions. Far too much time has been spent trying to figure out how this situation came about rather than solving the problem to ensure that this agency, which is essential to combating terrorism, is solvent.

The Committee wishes to make it absolutely clear that this is the final aid that will be provided to ICE to shore up its base. It is the responsibility of the Department and ICE to move forward from this point to establish adequate financial controls and to properly manage ICE expenditures within available resource limitations.

Of the $276,000,000 provided, no less than $11,000,000 shall be for salaries and benefits to allow for the immediate lifting of the hiring freeze. ICE is directed to begin the process of hiring and training approximately 50 full-time equivalents [FTEs] (200 positions) in the Detention and Removal Operations program, 25 FTEs (100 positions) in the Investigations program, and 4 FTEs (16 positions) in the Office of the Principal Legal Advisor to replace employees lost through attrition this fiscal year. The Committee understands that 79 FTEs is the maximum level of hiring that can be accomplished this fiscal year. The Committee also directs the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center to make space available for ICE to schedule a minimum of seven training classes for detention officers and investigators in fiscal year 2005. The remainder of the funds provided will allow the lifting of spending controls to permit investment in vehicle fleets, body armor, training, travel, information technology, and other essential functions.

The Committee directs the Department to submit a detailed report no later than 30 days after enactment of this Act to the Senate and House Committees on Appropriations with the on-board level of FTEs for each individual office by location; the number of vacant FTEs; and the new hires planned by week for each office beginning the week after enactment of this Act through September 30, 2005. This report should specify the hiring of FTEs associated with program enhancements for which funds were appropriated by Public Law 108-334. These include Compliance Teams (33 FTEs), Worksite Enforcement (10 FTEs), International Affairs (45 FTEs), Alternatives to Detention (15 FTEs), Institutional Removal Program (70 FTEs), Legal Workload (20 FTEs), and detention beds to support other programs (7 FTEs). An updated report with actual hires is to be submitted to the Committee every 2 weeks thereafter.

The Committee recommends the base realignment of the Detention and Removal Operation Program, as proposed by the Department on March 11, 2005. The following chart shows the distribution by program, project, and activity of the recommended supplemental appropriations and this realignment.

The Committee recommends $7,070,000 to support the expansion and enhancement of the United States' tsunami warning capabilities. The recommendation is $2,240,000 above the request and $2,240,000 above the House recommendation.

The recommendation includes: expansion, upgrades, operations and maintenance for the sea level monitoring and tide gauge network; continual operations of National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's [NOAA] existing tsunami warning centers; expansion of the Tsunami Ready Community efforts; and $3,000,000 for the expansion and acceleration of the inundation mapping and modeling efforts for at-risk coastal areas, which includes bathymetric Light Detection and Ranging [LIDAR] mapping. The Committee encourages NOAA to utilize the next generation buoy research and development funds to design a buoy which supports both tsunami detection and the Integrated Coastal and Ocean Observing System.

The Committee directs the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration [NOAA] to submit a spending plan for these funds no later than May 15, 2005. The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2005 provided $50,851,000 to NOAA to lead the effort to develop and deploy a National Integrated Coastal and Ocean Observing System. The Committee notes that the proposed Deep-ocean Assessment and Reporting of Tsunamis [DART] buoys are not equipped to be integrated into such an observing system. The DART buoys are designed for the single purpose of tsunami detection and are not built to carry the appropriate suite of ocean, climate, and weather sensors to support an Integrated Coastal and Ocean Observing System. The expansion of a single purpose observing system is ill-advised. The Committee strongly encourages NOAA to develop tsunami warning detection devices which support the Integrated Coastal and Ocean Observing System. Furthermore, the Committee notes that the request for a seven-fold increase in buoy production will severely strain space currently allocated for these activities. The Committee believes that this increase will inevitably necessitate an expansion of the buoy production facilities.

Committee recommendation

The Committee provides $656,000,000 for the Tsunami Recovery and Reconstruction Fund. This amount does not include the $45,000,000 request for modifying direct loans and loan guarantees for tsunami affected countries.

The Committee notes that, in addition to causing immense human suffering, the tsunami damaged or destroyed large areas of wildlife habitat in Aceh. To help restore these natural areas and encourage the rapid recovery of fishing, employment and tourism, the Committee includes not less than $5,000,000 for environmental recovery activities to be administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

The Committee is aware that many people are suffering from physical and mental disabilities as a result of injuries and trauma caused by the tsunami. The Committee includes not less than $12,000,000 for programs to address the needs of people with disabilities.

The Committee recommends $1,500,000 for trafficking in persons monitoring and prevention programs and activities in tsunami affected countries to be administered by the Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons at the Department of State. The Committee encourages the development of models according to which the Office can respond to future large scale disasters.

The Committee is aware that an estimated 200,000 homes in Aceh were destroyed by the tsunami and earthquakes. Rebuilding these structures will require millions of cubic meters of lumber, which, if harvested locally, would destroy more than 250,000 acres of biologically diverse forest. The Committee supports efforts by USAID and others to obtain donations of wood from the United States and elsewhere to rebuild houses in Aceh.

The Committee directs that tsunami relief and reconstruction programs in Aceh and in Sri Lanka adhere to basic principles of equity, transparency and accountability, and that such programs, when practicable, be used to strengthen and support internationally mediated negotiations between the Government of Indonesia and the Free Aceh Movement and between the Government of Sri Lanka and the LTTE. The Committee further directs that funds be made available for independent human rights monitoring and protection in areas of Sri Lanka and Aceh affected by the tsunami, with a special emphasis on the protection of children.

The Committee is aware of the extensive damage caused by the tsunami on schools and the high death toll among teachers, particularly in Aceh and Sri Lanka. The Committee recommends not less than $3,000,000 for teacher training programs in these affected areas for primary and secondary schooling.

The Committee recognizes the contributions of charitable organizations in providing tsunami relief, including Mercy Ships. The Committee urges USAID to utilize to the fullest extend practicable Mercy Ships and other charitable and nongovernmental organizations in reconstruction efforts.

The Committee believes that relief and reconstruction assistance should be distributed on an equitable basis to all groups affected by the tsunami according to their situation and not their social status. Accordingly, the Committee expects that assistance will be provided to impacted Dalits, Tamils and undocumented Burmese refugees.

OFFSHORE OIL AND GAS FABRICATION PORTS

SEC. 6013. The Committee is aware that Corps of Engineers' guidelines for analyzing national economic development benefits for navigation projects were developed based upon traditional ports primarily engaged in cargo movement and focus on traffic increases and transportation cost savings. Since these guidelines were developed, the Corps has begun analysis of navigation enlargement projects for the Port of Iberia and the Port of Morgan City, Louisiana. These non-traditional ports are host sites for the fabrication of offshore oil and gas platforms; however, the Corps' guidelines do not expressly address fabrication ports and restrict an accurate assessment of the benefits arising from navigation projects at these ports. Because of existing channel limitations, these fabrication ports are unable to deliver the large offshore structures that are currently needed in the deep waters of the Outer Continental Shelf, and the fabrication contracts for these structures are being lost to foreign ports. The Committee recommends language to ensure an accurate analysis and include the full contract amount of internationally lost fabrication contracts when analyzing navigation projects impacting fabrication ports.
