BACKGROUND
Purpose of the Bill
This bill makes appropriations for the military functions
of the Department of Defense for the period October 1, 1997,
through September 30, 1998. Functional areas include the pay,
allowances, and support of military personnel, operation and
maintenance of the forces, procurement of equipment and
systems, and research, development, test, and evaluation.
Appropriations for military assistance, military construction,
family housing, nuclear warheads, and civil defense are
provided in other bills.
.......................
Compliance With 602(b) Allocation
The Appropriations Committee conformed fully to the budget
resolution for defense spending in its 602(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
602(b) allocation for defense.

Hunter.--The utility of the Hunter system was fully
validated during the recent national training exercise at Fort
Irwin and the Committee is providing an additional $12,000,000
for the operation of existing Hunter UAV systems. Of this
amount, $6,300,000 is in addition to amounts requested for this
program. The remaining $5,700,000 is to be derived from funds
the Army had budgeted for Predator but are no longer required
due to the transfer of Predator to the Air Force. The Army is
strongly encouraged to make full use of this demonstrated
warfighting asset.

Pacific Missile Range facility [PMRF].--The Committee
recommends an increase of $15,000,000 for operations and
improvements in utility services at the Pacific Missile Range
facility. The Committee notes that severe budget reductions in
fiscal year 1997 caused a serious degradation in the ability of
the range to meet fleet training requirements and to satisfy
the growing demand on the range for testing and evaluation by
the Navy and other DOD customers. Therefore, the Committee
directs that no general reductions shall be allocated against
PMRF without the approval of the Committees on Appropriations
of the House and Senate. In addition, the allocation includes
$3,000,000 for utility upgrades, including electricity, power
lines, water, and wastewater improvements and repairs.
Naval Meteorology and Oceanography Command.--The Committee
has provided an additional $19,500,000 for the Naval
Meteorology and Oceanography Command. The Committee recognizes
the requirement for adequate oceanographic survey data to
support littoral operations and that the Navy has a survey
backlog of 240 ship-years. Of these additional funds,
$7,500,000 is provided for the National Oceanography
Partnership Program to help reduce this backlog and $12,000,000
is provided for equipment purchases, air operations, and
contract support in support of survey operations and other data
collection.

COMMITTEE ADJUSTMENTS
SOCOM transfer.--A new budget activity has been established
for funding the operation and maintenance requirements of
Special Operations Command [SOCOM]. It is the intention of the
Committee to provide further flexibility for SOCOM while
maintaining proper funding for SOF capabilities and combat
readiness. Additional funding of $26,400,000 has been provided
to fund OPTEMPO and readiness requirements impacted by working
capital fund price increases, $1,110,000 for systems
survivability and $18,270,000 for emergent CP/WMD requirements.
Partnership for Peace Program.--The Committee directs that
funding for the Partnership for Peace Program be realigned from
the Joint Chiefs of Staff to the Office of the Secretary of
Defense. This action is intended to provide greater visibility
for expenditures on this program and the Under Secretary of
Defense (Comptroller) is directed to provide the congressional
defense committees with quarterly execution data, commencing
January 30, 1998. These reports should provide amounts
obligated by date and a descriptive summary for each project or
evolution.
.......................
On Site Inspection Agency.--The Committee directs a
reduction of $10,000,000 due to anticipated delays in treaty
implementation. An additional $3,600,000 has been transferred
to the overseas contingency operations transfer fund.
.......................
Former Soviet Union Threat Reduction
Appropriations, 1997.................................... $327,900,000
Budget estimate, 1998................................... 382,200,000
Committee recommendation................................ 322,200,000
This program was established in 1992 to promote
denuclearization and reduce the threat of weapons proliferation
in the former Soviet Union. The Committee has reduced this
program by $60,000,000 in accordance with the action of the
Senate Armed Services Committee.
Russian nuclear submarine dismantlement and disposal.--
Based on consultations with the Commander of the Russian
Pacific Fleet and the Commander of the United States Pacific
Fleet, the Committee includes a new provision that makes
$35,000,000 available only for support for dismantling and
disposal of nuclear submarines and reactor components in the
Russian far east. The Committee notes that virtually all
funding provided under this heading in previous years has been
obligated to support projects in European Russia. The Committee
believes that to achieve the stated goals for this program,
funding should be available to meet critical arms control and
environmental safety needs in all parts of Russia.
The funds provided for assistance in dismantling and
disposing of nuclear submarines in the Russian far east should
be managed by the United States Pacific Fleet, which has
established effective working relations with the Russian Navy.
The Commander, U.S. Pacific Fleet, shall provide the Committee
with a plan for the obligation of these funds not later than
January 15, 1998.

$85,210,000, an increase of $36,137,000 to the budget request,
for modifications of E-2C aircraft. The Committee directs that
the additional funds shall only be available to support
modification of E-2C's currently in the Navy aircraft inventory
to make them compatible with cooperative engagement capability
[CEC] equipment. The Committee understands that these
modifications will permit accelerated introduction of airborne
CEC capability to the fleet.
.......................
Reef Point.--Based on CINC requirements and QDR mission
scenario forecasts, a minimum of four Reef Point aircraft are
required to meet current and projected needs. The Committee
understands two Reef Point aircraft will reach the end of their
service life in fiscal year 2001. In order to begin
modification of two low-flight-hour airframes to accept
existing Reef Point sensors, the Committee is providing
$7,000,000 in fiscal year 1998. The Committee has been advised
that a total of $26,600,000 is required to complete the
modifications and the Department is directed to include funding
in fiscal year 1999 and the out-years to complete this effort.

committee recommended adjustments
Trident II missile.--The President's budget request
includes $339,269,000 in procurement and advance procurement
for the production of seven Trident II missiles in fiscal year
1998. The Committee recommends providing a total of
$274,269,000 for the production of five Trident missiles, a
reduction of $65,000,000 from the budget request.
Through fiscal year 1997, Congress has provided full
funding for all Trident II missiles required to support the 10
new construction Trident submarines. The funding request in
fiscal year 1998 begins the production of 84 missiles for the
four submarines proposed for backfit, beginning in May 2000.
With the possibility that all four of the proposed backfit
boats would be decommissioned under a START III agreement, the
Committee believes it prudent to slow the production rate of
the Trident II missiles specifically earmarked for the backfit
submarines.
The Committee recognizes that the five missiles in this
bill will be excess to Navy requirements if the United States
does not proceed with the Trident backfit program. Therefore,
the Committee directs that the missiles procured in this bill
be earmarked to be resold to the United Kingdom should the
backfit program be canceled prior to the time the Royal Navy
completes its acquisition of D-5 missiles.
.......................
Pioneer.--The Committee agrees with the recommendation of
the Senate defense authorization committee and has provided a
total of $5,000,000 for the common automatic recovery system
[CARS]. The CARS Program was authorized within defense-wide
accounts; however, departmental officials have advised the
Committee that this program is more appropriately funded within
the Navy's accounts. Therefore, the Committee has provided
$3,000,000 in the ``Weapons procurement, Navy'' account and
$2,000,000 in the ``Research, development, test and evaluation,
Navy'' account for the CARS Program.

\1\ Increase reflects Committee recommendations as outlined in the ``Program and project increases'' heading of
this report section.
C-17.--The Committee has provided $2,341,811,000 for
procurement of C-17 aircraft, an increase of $418,500,000 to
the budget request amount. The Committee recommendation
includes an increase of $440,200 to purchase two additional C-
17 aircraft, bringing the number to 11 aircraft in fiscal year
1998. The Committee recommendation also deletes $21,700,000
based on favorable contract negotiations and delayed obligation
of funds.
Procurement of additional C-17 aircraft at this time offers
a number of benefits. First, this increase provides a smoother
ramp to the projected procurement rate of 13 in fiscal year
1999. Second, the Committee has reviewed the C-17 program
carefully and found the program to be on track and making solid
strides on reducing unit cost while producing a high-quality
aircraft. Third, speeding the pace of acquisition will bring
down the cost of the remaining aircraft by accelerating
progress on the production learning curve. Finally, the C-17
has proven to be an essential element in successful conduct of
the Bosnia mission. Procuring these additional aircraft will
allow the Department of Defense to field C-17 aircraft earlier
with active and Air National Guard units, providing necessary
airlift capability.

U-2 fuel conversion.--The U-2 requires special fuel that
can withstand extremely cold temperatures for long periods
without turning to slush. Because of this special need, fuel
costs are very high and logistics support is time intensive.
The Committee understands that it is technically feasible to
convert the U-2 to the commonly used aircraft fuel, JP-8. The
Committee directs the Air Force to review this issue to
determine if U-2 fuel conversion would be beneficial in terms
of cost, logistics, and performance. The results of this review
should be provided to the congressional defense oversight
committees by March 15, 1998.
SR-71.--The Committee has provided $9,000,000 in
procurement for the SR-71. This funding is to be used to modify
film cameras to electro-optical, enhance radar processing and
installation of the GPS navigation system and electronic
intelligence system.

Special Operations Forces
Soldier enhancement program.--The Committee recommends
providing $2,300,000 for the second and final increment of
funds to procure advanced individual body armor for all Special
Operations Forces [SOF]. A letter from the commander in chief,
U.S. Special Operations Command [USSOCOM], dated March 14,
1997, stated that 3,804 SOF personnel do not have individual
body armor and that the $1,500,000 provided by Congress in
fiscal year 1997 will go a long way toward meeting SOF's body
armor requirements.

Committee recommendation................................ 7,532,846,000
The Committee recommends an appropriation of $7,532,846,000
for the Navy's research, development, test, and evaluation
programs, a decrease of $78,176,000 to the budget request.
The budget activities and programs funded under this
appropriation are discussed below.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED ADJUSTMENTS
.......................
Advanced technology transition.--The Committee encourages
the Navy to continue its efforts in the development and
demonstration of advanced technologies for the support of
littoral warfare, and notes the favorable progress made in
exploiting SWATH technology to develop an affordable, minimally
manned, multimission, stable platform suitable for a wide
variety of high-risk missions. The Committee is aware of an
interest by the Navy and Marine Corps to evaluate the use of a
SWATH hull-form like the SLICE technology demonstrator as a
platform with modular containers for antisubmarine warfare,
mine countermeasures, and command and control missions. The
Committee recommends an increase of $5,000,000, directs the
Navy to reprogram any additional funds necessary to initiate
this effort in fiscal year 1998, and to establish a funded
development program beginning in fiscal year 1998.
.......................
Cooperative engagement capability.--The Committee continues
to support the U.S. Navy Cooperative Engagement Capability
[CEC] Program. In particular, the Committee supports the use of
space-based assets to provide range extension and enhanced
sensor capability for CEC. Accordingly, the Committee
recommends an increase of $10,000,000 in funding for CEC in
fiscal year 1998 to build on earlier studies and begin
preliminary engineering work associated with incorporating
satellite range extension and space-based sensors in CEC.
other adjustments
Program reductions and deferrals.--The following table
lists program reductions recommended by the Committee to
eliminate funds requested for programs which are not supported
by firm requirements or out-year development and procurement
funds; are premature until related, preliminary efforts are
completed, and the results evaluated; are lower priority
relative to other projects; are duplicative of other DOD
projects; are increasing without a firm justification and out-
year transition commitments; or can be deferred without
adversely affecting related program developments.

Appropriations, 1997.................................... $14,499,606,000
Budget estimate, 1998................................... 14,451,379,000
Committee recommendation................................ 14,142,873,000
The Committee recommends an appropriation of
$14,142,873,000 for the Air Force's research, development,
test, and evaluation programs, a decrease of $308,506,000 to
the budget request.
The budget activities and programs funded under this
appropriation are discussed below.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED ADJUSTMENTS
F-22 EMD.--The Committee recommendation provides
$1,858,234,000 for continued development of the F-22 advanced
tactical fighter, a reduction of $213,000,000 to the budget
request. The Committee has also recommended that $80,864,000
budgeted for advanced procurement in the ``Aircraft
procurement, Air Force'' account be deleted.
The Committee endorses continued development of the F-22
fighter. The Committee reduction to the engineering and
manufacturing development [EMD] program deletes funds budgeted
for termination liability in fiscal year 1998. Termination
liability funds are required in the event the Department of
Defense terminates the program. At the end of the fiscal year,
termination liability funds from the previous fiscal year
basically become the initial funding for the next fiscal year.
The Committee does not expect the F-22 program to be terminated
in fiscal year 1998; therefore, the termination liability funds
are not required. Further, the Committee understands that the
prime contractor agreed to absorb a portion of the fiscal year
1997 termination liability. The Committee expects that this
reduction will have no impact on the F-22 EMD program.
The Committee, however, remains concerned about the
potential cost growth in the F-22 EMD and production program.
The Committee has recommended deletion of the F-22 advanced
procurement funds to ensure the program stays focused on
completion of the EMD program. A number of critical issues lie
ahead in fiscal year 1998--software development, avionics
integration, flight testing, and producibility initiatives. The
Committee believes there must be demonstrable progress on each
of these matters before the Defense Department and the Congress
can proceed with the production program with confidence.
.......................
Advanced spacecraft technology.--The Committee expects that
the increase provided for the solar thermionic orbital transfer
vehicle shall be used for both development work and for the
upper stage flight demonstration.
.......................
OTHER ADJUSTMENTS
Program reductions and deferrals.--The following table
lists program reductions recommended by the Committee to
eliminate funds requested for programs which are not supported
by firm requirements or outyear development and procurement
funds; are premature until related, preliminary efforts are
completed, and the results evaluated; are lower priority
relative to other projects; are duplicative of other DOD
projects; are increasing without a firm justification and
outyear transition commitments; or can be deferred without
adversely affecting related program developments.

Budget estimate, 1998................................... 9,069,680,000
Committee recommendation................................ 9,608,689,000
The Committee recommends an appropriation of $9,608,689,000
for defense-wide research, development, test, and evaluation
programs, an increase of $539,009,000 to the budget request.
The budget activities and programs funded under this
appropriation are discussed below.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED ADJUSTMENTS
.....................
Counterterror technical support.--The Committee understands
that the program plans to spend as much as $5,000,000
conducting explosives tests at an existing academic test
facility. The Committee endorses this program and has
recommended full funding of the budget request to permit these
tests to proceed as planned.
Verification technology demonstration.--The Committee
directs that $3,000,000 within this program element shall be
available for the Caribbean radiation early warning system
[CREWS]. The Committee recommends that these funds be executed
under the direction of the OSD Nuclear Treaty Program Office
for the purpose of applying existing monitoring capabilities in
the Center for Monitoring Research to the creation of CREWS.
.....................
Defense reconnaissance support activities (Space).--The
Committee recommendations includes an increase of $8,000,000
only for continued activities at the Pacific Disaster Center.
The Committee expects these funds to be used to expedite
modeling technologies underway to ensure the earliest possible
full operation of the Center and to serve as the model for
other disaster and related activities. The Committee expects
the technologies to be designed using software for massively
parallel computers.
BALLISTIC MISSILE DEFENSE ORGANIZATION
Ballistic Missile Defense Organization [BMDO].--The
Committee has provided $3,226,644,000 for research,
development, test, and evaluation [RDT&E] efforts on national
and theater ballistic missile defense systems and technologies.
This appropriation represents an overall increase of
$644,700,000 to the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization
[BMDO] RDT&E budget request. The Committee has also approved
the budget request amount for procurement of missile defense
systems, $386,400,000, in the respective military service
procurement accounts. Thus, the total appropriation for
ballistic missile defense programs in this bill is
$3,613,044,000, consistent with the Senate-reported bill
authorizing DOD programs for fiscal year 1998. The Committee
has made a number of adjustments to individual RDT&E accounts.

National missile defense.--The Committee has provided an
increase of $474,000,000 to the budget request for national
missile defense, recommending a total appropriation of
$978,091,000 for this important national priority.
The increase reflects the Committee's stated support for
timely development and thorough testing of the national missile
defense system concept. The Defense Department is currently
holding a competition for NMD system concepts. Following this
competition, the Defense Department will be in a better
position to assess the cost and schedule plans for NMD
development.
The Committee believes that the military services and the
Ballistic Missile Defense Organization must work closely
together in order to develop the most cost effective national
missile defense system. The Committee believes that existing
assets should be considered wherever possible in order to
develop the most cost-effective initial capability to defend
the Nation against intercontinental ballistic missiles. With
this goal in mind, the Committee endorses a careful and
thorough assessment of the Minuteman booster and other existing
infrastructure to support the most cost effective and
expeditious development, testing, deployment, and initial
operating capability.
Joint theater missile defense.--The Committee
recommendation provides $612,619,000 for joint theater missile
defense, an increase of $70,000,000 to the budget request. Of
the additional funds, $33,400,000 is provided only to satisfy
congressionally mandated multiple simultaneous engagement
requirements. The Committee directs that this increase shall be
used only to support upgrade of the Pacific Missile Range
Facility as required to meet its role as the test and
evaluation range for the Navy's tactical ballistic missile
defense programs.
Advanced research center.--The Committee supports the
efforts being performed at the Space and Strategic Defense
Command's Advanced Research Center [ARC]. The ARC continues to
be a valuable tool in support of the Army's development of both
theater and national missile defense systems. Therefore, the
Committee recommends an increase of $7,000,000, providing a
total of at least $18,000,000 to fund the SSDC's ARC.
OTHER ADJUSTMENTS
Program reductions and deferrals.--The following table
lists program reductions recommended by the Committee to
eliminate funds requested for programs which are not supported
by firm requirements or outyear development and procurement
funds; are premature until related, preliminary efforts are
completed, and the results evaluated; are lower priority
relative to other projects; are duplicative of other DOD
projects; are increasing without a firm justification and
outyear transition commitments; or can be deferred without
adversely affecting related program developments.

DEFENSE AIRBORNE RECONNAISSANCE OFFICE [DARO]
Since 1979, Congress has provided more than $3,000,000,000
to the Department of Defense for the purpose of developing
unmanned aerial vehicles [UAV]. To date, no system has reached
full operational capability. Despite this track record, the
Department continues to spend almost 40 percent of its airborne
reconnaissance budget on UAV development, blatantly ignoring
congressional direction with regard to rivet joint reengining,
U-2 upgrades, SR-71 funding, and other manned reconnaissance
requirements. The Committee is unaware of any other major DOD
program where current, proven systems that are used on a daily
basis throughout the world have been consistently sacrificed
for almost 20 years' worth of yet-to-be realized technology
development.
The Committee does not disagree with the potential value of
UAV's; however, the Committee is discouraged with results of
the remaining three UAV ACTD programs and believes it is time
to review DOD's entire UAV strategy. Consequently, the
Committee places a 1-year moratorium on the initiation of any
ACTD or other type of new start for UAV's. During this period,
OSD and the services are directed to develop a strategy for the
development and acquisition of UAV systems that are cost
effective and satisfy the core priority requirements of each
service. This new strategy should be submitted with the fiscal
year 1999 budget submission. The Committee looks forward to
working with the Department to establish a more coherent and
less advanced technology driven program that, once the systems
are proven, can be built upon to provide the value envisioned
over the past 20 years.
High band subsystem.--The Committee understands that
testing of the high band subsystem of joint SIGINT avionics
family [JSAF] has been delayed by at least 5 months due to
contractor slips in upgrades to the EP-3 test platform. The
Committee encourages the Department to closely monitor this
situation to ensure that testing of the subsystem commences not
later than December 15, 1997. The Committee expects to be kept
fully apprised of the status of this program.

Appropriations, 1997.................................... $1,428,002,000
Budget estimate, 1998................................... 1,191,426,000
Committee recommendation................................ 516,126,000
This appropriation provides funds for the lease, operation,
and supply of prepositioning ships; operation of the Ready
Reserve Force; acquisition of large medium speed roll-on/roll-
off ships for the Military Sealift Command; and acquisition of
ships for the Ready Reserve Force.
The budget includes $302,000,000 for Ready Reserve Force
and $889,426,000 for acquisition activities in fiscal year
1998.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED ADJUSTMENTS
Acquisition.--The Department's budget request includes
$889,426,000 for the construction of sealift ships for fiscal
year 1998. Of this amount, $581,300,000 would be for the
procurement of two large medium speed roll-on/roll-off [LMSR]
ships, $131,500,000 for the payment of cost growth in prior-
year LMSR procurement, $70,000,000 advance procurement for a
new construction LMSR in fiscal year 1999, and $30,100,000 for
the completion of prior-year ships.
The Committee follows the Senate Armed Services Committee's
decision to undertake a construction pause on the LMSR program
until such time as the Department verifies the appropriate
prepositioning policy for the Army. In this light, the
Committee recommends providing the authorized level of
$238,126,000 for acquisition, a reduction of $651,300,000 from
the budget request.
Other adjustments
The Committee recommends incorporating the following
adjustments to the budget estimate, in accordance with the
Senate authorization committee action:

TITLE VI
OTHER DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE APPROPRIATIONS
Chemical Agents and Munitions Destruction, Defense
Appropriations, 1997.................................... $758,447,000
Budget estimate, 1998................................... 620,700,000
Committee recommendation................................ 609,700,000
The Committee recommends an appropriation of $609,700,000
for the ``Chemical agents and munitions destruction, defense''
account for fiscal year 1998, a decrease of $11,000,000 to the
budget estimate.
The Chemical Stockpile Disposal Program [CSDP], mandated by
Congress in section 1412 of the 1986 Defense Authorization Act
(Public Law 99-145), directed the Department of Defense to
destroy the complete unitary chemical stockpile by September
30, 1994. The Fiscal Year 1989 Defense Authorization Act
(Public Law 100-456) extended the program completion date to
April 30, 1997. The Fiscal Year 1992 Defense Authorization Act
(Public Law 102-190) again extended the program completion date
to July 31, 1999. Finally, the Fiscal Year 1993 Defense
Authorization Act (Public Law 102-484) further extended the
completion date to December 31, 2004.
The Chemical Stockpile Disposal Program provides resources
to develop and test monitoring and disposal technology; equip,
operate, and maintain disposal facilities; provide
transportation of chemical agents and munitions onsite for
disposal; dispose of all chemical agent destruction waste
products; and decontaminate and dismantle all disposal
equipment at the conclusion of toxic operations.
committee recommendations
budget activity 1--research and development
Research and development.--The Department has included
$66,300,000 for research, development, test and evaluation
activities of the Chemical Stockpile Disposal Program for
fiscal year 1998. For fiscal year 1998, the Department has
budgeted $25,500,000 to conduct research, in parallel with the
reverse assembly/incineration (baseline) technology, to select
an alternative technology or technologies to be used at the
bulk chemical storage sites at Aberdeen, MD, and Newport, IN.
The Department has also budgeted $40,800,000 for continued
development, design, purchase, installation, and acceptance
testing of equipment for the nonstockpile chemical material
project; and for continued evaluation of nonstockpile disposal
technologies, and for continued development of nonintrusive
analysis systems for munitions and their surrounding
environment.
The Committee recommends providing $70,300,000, an increase
of $4,000,000 above the budget request, for CDSP research and
development activities in fiscal year 1998. The additional
$4,000,000 is to accelerate the development and deployment of
the Army's mobile munitions assessment system.
budget activity 2--procurement
Procurement.--The Department has requested $82,200,000 for
the procurement of process and support equipment used for the
baseline destruction of chemical munitions in the stockpile,
chemical stockpile emergency preparedness project [CSEPP]
equipment, and the nonstockpile chemical material project
[NSCMP] equipment. Also included are costs for initial spares,
freight, software, maintenance and operations manuals relating
to specific equipment, and design changes during construction
and installation.
The Committee recommends providing $77,200,000 for
procurement activities in fiscal year 1998, a reduction of
$5,000,000 from the budget request as authorized by the Senate
Armed Services Committee.
budget activity 3--operations and maintenance
Operation and maintenance.--The fiscal year 1998 budget
request includes $472,200,000 for operations and maintenance
funds for management, technical, and operational, support
required for demilitarization of the chemical stockpile,
emergency response activities, and support to the Nonstockpile
Chemical Material Program. The Committee recommends providing
$467,200,000 a decrease of $5,000,000 below the budget request
as recommended by the Senate Armed Services Committee.
Transportation of chemical weapons.--The Committee
continues to oppose the study of or the actual transportation
of assembled chemical munitions from or to any of the nine
stockpile storage sites. In 1983, after extensive studies, the
Department of Defense reported to Congress that the
transportation of assembled chemical weapons around the United
States was not a viable option because of the potential for
accidents/incidents in populated areas having to be traversed
during transportation. Further, the studies concluded that the
condition and stability of the assembled chemical weapons were
such that the potential for a handling accident/incident was
also beyond the acceptable levels of risk.
The Committee notes that now, more than 12 years later,
nothing has changed that would make a new study of
transportation anything more than an explication of the
oblivious. Further, the assemble chemical stockpile is now 12
years older and thus a new study would most certainly prove
that the handling/transportation risk would be even greater
than the unacceptable level in 1983.
The Committee again includes a general provision which
directly prohibits the study of or the movement of any chemical
munitions or agent to Johnston Atoll.
Economic assumptions.--As explained elsewhere in this
report, the Department's midyear review has reduced the
expected inflation rates for fiscal year 1998. The Committee,
in accordance with data provided by the Department, recommends
a general reduction of $5,000,000 to the ``Chemical agents and
munitions destruction, defense'' account and has applied
$4,000,000 of this reduction to the ``Procurement'' account and
$1,000,000 to the ``Research and development'' account.
Future use of the facilities.--The Committee again includes
a general provision prohibiting the expenditure of any Federal
funds for the study of the possible future use of these
facilities. The Committee does not intend this provision to
apply to the CAMDS facility at Tooele, UT.
Chemical Stockpile Emergency Preparedness Program
[CSEPP].--In the 1997 National Defense Authorization Act
(Public Law 104-21, section 1076) the Congress mandated, and
the President's signature enacted into law the following:
``(a) Report.--Not later than 120 days after the date
of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of the Army
shall submit to the Committee on Armed Services of the
Senate and the Committee on National Security of the
House of Representatives a report assessing the
implementation and success of the establishment of
site-specific Integrated Product and Process Teams as a
management tool for the Chemical Stockpile Emergency
Preparedness Program.
(b) Contingent Mandated Reforms.--If at the end of
the 120-day period beginning on the date of the
enactment of this Act the Secretary of the Army and the
Director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency
have been unsuccessful in implementing a site-specific
Integrated Product and Process Team with each of the
affected States, the Secretary of the Army shall--
(1) assume full control and responsibility for the
Chemical Stockpile Emergency Preparedness Program
(eliminating the role of the Director of the Federal
Emergency Management Agency as joint manager of the
program);
(2) establish programmatic agreement with each of the
affected States regarding program requirements,
implementation schedules, training and exercise
requirements, and funding (to include direct grants for
program support);
(3) clearly define the goals of the program; and
(4) establish fiscal constraints for the program.''
The Committee notes that the 120 days have passed and the
Secretary of the Army has neither provided the report nor has
he assumed full control and responsibility for the CSEPP.
Further, the General Accounting Office has recently published
its fourth highly critical study of the management and
accounting weaknesses of CSEPP (GAO/NSIAD-97-91).
While the continued cooperation of the Army and the Federal
Emergency Management Agency [FEMA] is vital to the success of
the CSEPP, the Committee is concerned that these two agencies
have lost sight of the ultimate goal of this program which
remains the safety and preparedness of the local communities
surrounding the eight chemical stockpile sites. The Committee
is hopeful that while the Army and FEMA negotiate the future
roles and responsibilities of each of their agencies within the
CSEPP, that neither loses sight that the local communities are
the ones who have and will continue to suffer from the
mismanagement of the CSEPP. The Committee is further hopeful
that the local communities will have an avenue for input into
the CSEPP and that their views are taken into consideration in
the management restructuring process being undertaken by the
Federal Government.

The Committee recommends an appropriation of $691,482,000
in title VI, Counternarcotics and Drug Interdiction Program for
fiscal year 1998, an amount $38,900,000 above the requested
fiscal year 1998 level.
Summary of Committee Adjustments
National Guard activities.--The Committee recognizes the
valuable contributions the National Guard makes to the
counterdrug effort and provides an additional $25,000,000. This
matter is further addressed in the ``Operations and
maintenance, National Guard'' account
Civil Air Patrol.--Funds made available to the Civil Air
Patrol [CAP] in the fiscal year 1998 appropriation for Defense
Department drug interdiction activities may be used for CAP's
demand reduction program involving youth programs as well as
operational and training drug reconnaissance missions for
Federal, State, and local government agencies; for
administrative costs, including the hiring of CAP employees;
