It also finances the cost of military family housing and the U.S. share of the NATO Security Investment Program. In addition, the bill provides funding to implement base closures and realignments authorized by law. The bill provides resources to the Department of Veterans Affairs for veterans benefits and healthcare. The bill also provides funding for U.S. cemeteries and battlefield monuments both in the United States and abroad; U.S. Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims; and Armed Forces Retirement Homes. Comparative Statement The Committee recommends appropriations totaling $94,315,643,000 for fiscal year 2007 military construction, family housing, base closure, veterans health care and benefits, as well as related agencies. The table at the end of the report displays the Committee recommendation in comparison with the current fiscal year, and the President's fiscal year 2007 request. Compliance With Section 308(a) of the Budget Control Act Section 308(a) of the Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974 (Public Law 93-344) requires that the Committee include in its report a comparison of its recommendations with levels contained in the first concurrent resolution.

This is $13,099,749,000 over the fiscal year 2006 enacted level and $433,501,000 below the budget request. The basis for this recommendation is contained in the following ``Overview and summary of the bill,'' and under the discussions pertaining to each individual appropriation. Complete project detail is provided in the tables at the end of the report. Title I of the Committee recommendation does not contain certain items addressed in the House bill, H.R. 5385. The Committee believes that it is more appropriate to fund these items as part of the Senate Department of Defense Appropriations bill, 2007, H.R. 5631. For ease of comparison, the Committee report sets forth in title I a ``House allowance'' as if these items had not been contained in the House passed bill. OVERVIEW AND SUMMARY OF THE BILL The total amount of new budget authority recommended by the Committee in this bill for fiscal year 2007 is $94,315,643,000. The new budget authority represents an increase of $13,099,749,000 over the fiscal year 2006 enacted level and $433,501,000 below the President's budget request for fiscal year 2007. The amount of discretionary budget authority recommended by this Committee, as defined by the Budget Act of 1980, is $52,900,000,000. This bill makes appropriations for the Department of Defense, Department of Veterans Affairs, and other related agencies for fiscal year 2007. It provides for military construction, family housing and base realignment and closure activities of the Defense Department. In addition, the bill includes funds for the operation of medical facilities and medical care for the Department of Veterans Affairs, as well as providing for the benefits and pensions of our Nation's veterans. This bill also provides resources for the construction and maintenance of cemeteries and monuments, both domestically and abroad, that commemorate American servicemen and women who have served and died in combat. It also provides resources for the U.S. Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims and for the Armed Forces Retirement Homes. SUPPORTING THE DEFENSE DEPARTMENT THROUGH INFRASTRUCTURE As stated in the Constitution of the United States, ``to provide for the common defense'' is an essential function of the Federal Government. Currently, this task is complicated by budgetary constraints and the Nation's changing defensive posture. Given this shift in defense posture and the global war on terror, the Committee understands the importance of providing the necessary tools to those tasked with providing for the common defense. Thus, the Committee has made a concerted effort to provide resources only for infrastructure projects that are the most necessary components of the Department's mission. Increasing Energy Efficiency The Federal Government is the Nation's largest consumer of energy. The Department of Defense is the Federal Government's largest consumer of energy, accounting for approximately 75 percent of the government's energy use. This means that the Department is in a unique position to contribute to the Nation's independence from foreign energy sources by emphasizing efficiency in the operation of its facilities. Further, by focusing on energy efficiency the Department stands to extend the life of its facilities, furnishings and equipment while improving its bottom line. It is worth noting that the Department has made strides in this regard, actually decreasing its energy consumption from fiscal year 1994 to fiscal year 2004 by approximately 2 percent. Yet more can be done to promote a ``green'' mentality within the Department. Because the Committee is committed to guiding the Department in the direction of energy efficiency, the Committee has recommended fully funding the Department of Defense's Energy Conservation Investment Program. This program has yielded excellent results over its life, producing on average four dollars of savings through improved energy and water efficiency for every dollar invested in the program. The Committee has also included language directing the Department of Defense to incorporate the highest energy efficiency standards possible into the building envelopes of all construction funded in this act. Encouraging Allies' Involvement The Committee supports the commitment of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization [NATO] to transform itself into a lighter, more agile fighting force. The Committee also notes the establishment of the NATO Response Force, which will be rapidly deployable. While these efforts are essential to the ability of NATO to be effective in a 21st century threat environment, this transformation cannot be successful without sufficient funding. The United States spent approximately 4 percent of its gross domestic product [GDP] on defense in 2004, an increase of over $37,000,000,000 above the previous year, for the benefit of the United States and its allies. By comparison, Germany spent 1.4 percent of its GDP on defense; Italy spent 2 percent on defense; Spain spent 1.1 percent; and France spent 2.6 percent. As NATO attempts to transform itself, it becomes more important for the members of the NATO alliance to commit funding to modernize their own armed forces to an operational standard that allows them to be interoperable with the United States. Instead, the amount spent by each of these nations on defense decreased from 2004 to 2005, and the vast majority of contributions by these nations to the United States' defense of their countries has come in the form of indirect contributions, such as tax waivers, rather than in the form of direct contributions to the United States. The result of these policies by our allies is that more of a burden lands on the United States to provide unilaterally for the common defense. It also creates a perception that other NATO countries are acting in their own interests to the exclusion of the interests of the alliance. By increasing defense spending, or by increasing their contributions to offset the cost to the United States of maintaining forces on their soil, these allies could demonstrate their substantial interest in our common defense. An alliance in which partners are all substantially contributing for the common good also becomes an alliance in which the partners have a vested interest in the activities and success of the alliance. When western European nations become more active participants in the funding of the alliance, they will also become more active partners in securing the peace. To encourage our allies to become more invested in our common defense, the Committee recommendation includes provisions to encourage increases in the level of defense spending by our allies and to require the Department of Defense to report on its efforts to secure contributions to our common defense. SUPPORTING OUR VETERANS THROUGH BETTER HEALTHCARE Electronic Health Records The VA is at the forefront of developing a comprehensive electronic health record system, called HealtheVet-Vista. This system will revolutionize the entire healthcare system through the use of information technology by making a veteran's healthcare record accessible on-line for VA healthcare clinicians. At no time was it more valuable than during the hurricanes of the 2005 season when veterans from Louisiana were evacuated to Texas and needed medical care. When the evacuation took place, there was no time to gather paper healthcare records. The VA relocated the records to a server in Houston, and doctors throughout Texas could access them. This is a monumental tribute to the VA and the electronic healthcare records they used. The Committee is supportive of this valuable national project and encourages the Department to move forward with nationwide implementation. In addition, the Committee understands the Department of Veterans Affairs is working with the Department of Defense on the Bi-directional Health Information Exchange, a secure exchange of medical records between the two Departments. However, this cooperation is not moving at a pace suitable to the importance of the men and women in uniform. With significant numbers of military service persons transitioning from the active duty ranks to the VA rolls, the sharing of medical records is even more important. The Committee urges the Department of Defense to adopt the VA's architecture and hasten the shared use of such a valuable system. The Committee believes the VA is leading the Nation, both in government and private industry, in healthcare delivery, and the electronic health records are a large part of that service. Mental Healthcare Needs Many Operation Enduring Freedom/Operation Iraqi Freedom [OEF/OIF] veterans, including Guard and Reserve forces, are returning home with physical and/or mental injuries. The attacks from insurgents and suicide bombers have left a record number of men and women with a loss of limbs, brain and spinal cord injuries, and blindness. In past wars, these service members would not have survived these types of injuries, but recent advancements in medical science have made it possible to save more lives. The road to recovery is often dependent on the quality of care the VA's healthcare system has to offer. Many veterans have injuries that are not visible. Many suffer from mental health issues and post-traumatic stress disorders [PTSD]. PTSD can debilitate our veterans with severe mental anguish, stress and depression, disabling them from moving forward with their lives. This Committee fully supports the VA's efforts to treat all mental health disorders, particularly PTSD, and commends the VA for its work in this area. The Department of Veterans Affairs at a Crossroads The VA is facing tremendous stresses to its system. Healthcare costs are rising, and patient workload is increasing. The Department has built the premier healthcare system in the country. Veterans are receiving better healthcare than at any time in our Nation's history. Compensation and pension benefits are at an all time high. At the current rate, VA healthcare costs will double by 2014. The administration and the Congress must work together to continue to provide this world-class healthcare while working to contain cost and expenses. Administration proposals to increase collections and revenue are not totally without merit, but a fairer and more equitable way to implement them must be found. This Committee urges the administration to work with the Congress to devise a way to contain cost before submitting fee methods as part of a budget request. Without the cooperation of both branches of government, the primary objective of the entire government--quality healthcare for our veterans--will not be met in the future. The Department is at a critical crossroads on fiscal policy. Providing superior healthcare for our Nation's veterans and fiscal responsibility to our taxpayers are not mutually exclusive. It will take creative and innovative approaches, but the goals are achievable. TITLE I MILITARY CONSTRUCTION Items of Special Interest HEARINGS The Subcommittee on Military Construction and Veterans Affairs held a hearing related to the fiscal year 2007 Military Construction budget request on May 9, 2006. The subcommittee heard testimony from representatives of the Department of Defense (the Department); the United States Army; the United States Navy; and the United States Air Force concerning fiscal year 2007 budget priorities, base realignment and closure [BRAC], and the impending restructuring of United States military facilities overseas. SUMMARY OF COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS The budget request for fiscal year 2007 reflects an increase of $2,230,026,000 from the amount enacted in fiscal year 2006, including rescissions and supplemental funds. The Committee recommends $16,262,758,000. This is $435,665,000 below the budget request. REPROGRAMMING GUIDELINES The following reprogramming guidelines apply for all military construction and family housing projects. A project or account (including the sub-elements of an account) which has been specifically reduced by the Congress in acting on the budget request is considered to be a congressional interest item and as such, prior approval is required. Accordingly, no reprogrammings to an item specifically reduced below the threshold by the Congress are permitted. The reprogramming criteria that apply to military construction projects (25 percent of the funded amount or $2,000,000, whichever is less) continue to apply to new housing construction projects and to improvements over $2,000,000. To provide the Services the flexibility to proceed with construction contracts without disruption or delay, the costs associated with environmental hazard remediation such as asbestos removal, radon abatement, lead-based paint removal or abatement, and any other legislated environmental hazard remediation may be excluded, provided that such remediation requirements could not be reasonably anticipated at the time of the budget submission. This exclusion applies to projects authorized in this budget year, as well as projects authorized in prior years for which construction has not been completed. Furthermore, in instances where prior approval to a reprogramming request for a project or account has been received from the Committee, the adjusted amount approved becomes the new base for any future increase or decrease via below-threshold reprogrammings (provided that the project or account is not a congressional interest item as defined above). REAL PROPERTY MAINTENANCE The Committee recommends a continuation of the following general rules for repairing a facility under ``Operation and maintenance'' account funding: --Components of the facility may be repaired by replacement, and such replacement may be up to current standards or code. --Interior arrangements and restorations may be included as repair, but additions, new facilities, and functional conversions must be performed as military construction projects. --Such projects may be done concurrent with repair projects, as long as the final conjunctively funded project is a complete and usable facility. --The appropriate Service Secretary shall submit a 21-day notification prior to carrying out any repair project with an estimated cost in excess of $7,500,000. The Department is directed to continue to report on the real property maintenance backlog at all installations for which there is a requested construction project in future budget requests. This information is to be provided on the Form 1390. In addition, for all troop housing requests, the Form 1391 is to continue to show all real property maintenance conducted in the past 2 years and all future requirements for unaccompanied housing at that installation. Air Force Operation and Maintenance Repair Projects.--The Committee notes that the Air Force has made extensive use of the authority to carry out repair projects using ``Operation and maintenance'' account funding. In funding repair projects with Operation and Maintenance funds, the Air Force often cites a need to maintain its flexibility ``while balancing [its] operation and maintenance and military construction programs.'' However, in the view of the Committee, this practice has slipped out of balance. The Air Force elected to execute $772,210,837 in facility repair projects with costs over $750,000 (the threshold for using O&M funds for construction) in fiscal year 2005 using O&M funds. While these projects are within the bounds of operation and maintenance, they could appropriately be executed with military construction funds. The Air Force requested $5,601,510,000 in emergency supplemental funding for operation and maintenance in fiscal year 2005, justifying these funds as ``necessary resources to cover costs associated with personnel support costs for Active and mobilized Reserve and National Guard personnel, including travel and per diem; and operations, such as incremental flying hours, special airlift missions, contractor logistics support, fuel purchases, base support, depot maintenance, and for over- ocean transportation.'' The supplemental request did not mention facility repair. Yet, had the Air Force not spent $772,210,837 of operation and maintenance funds on projects that could have been funded through military construction, funds for personnel costs and flying hours, for example, would have been available to the Air Force and thus reduced the necessary amount of its supplemental request. While the demand for operation and maintenance dollars is divided among many competing and ``must-pay'' bills, military construction funds, by contrast, are devoted solely to facilities. It seems to the Committee to be unwise to siphon funds from such a widely needed account to fund requirements that could be funded using a more appropriate account. The Air Force has continued the practice of pursuing facility repair projects with operation and maintenance funds into fiscal year 2006, and requested $6,088,200,000 in emergency supplemental funds. In attempt to restore balance to the operation and maintenance and military construction programs, the Committee directs the Air Force to submit a report of its fiscal year 2007 facility repair projects by September 30, 2006, to the Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress. This report shall include the account and sub-account from which the Air Force intends to fund each repair project. GLOBAL WAR ON TERROR The Committee is aware of several military construction projects in Iraq funded in previous supplemental funding bills that are no longer needed. This underscores the concern long expressed by this Committee regarding the inclusion of military construction projects in supplemental spending bills. However, as long as the administration continues to request funding for the global war on terror via emergency supplemental funding, as is clearly the administration's intent, it is important the process remain consistent, rather than fund some war-related military construction via supplemental spending bills and other war-related military construction through the regular budget process. For this reason, the Committee has rescinded the funds for projects no longer required in Iraq and appropriated, using these emergency funds, several projects requested in the President's budget request which are clearly linked to the global war on terror. They are as follows: Special Operations Forces Rotary Wing Hangar, Qatar; Special Operations Forces Aircraft Operations and Maintenance Hangar, Qatar; Operations/ Technical Building, Menwith Hill Station, United Kingdom; Base Camp, Classified Location; and the Secretary of Defense's ``Contingency construction'' account. This action will keep emergency projects related to the global war on terror funded within emergency supplemental appropriations until the administration includes all funding related to the global war on terror in its base budget. Military Construction, Army Appropriations, 2006 (including rescissions and supplementals)...................................... $1,924,861,000 Budget estimate, 2007................................... 2,059,762,000 House allowance (including rescissions)................. 1,712,950,000 Committee recommendation (including rescissions)........ 2,003,474,000 PROGRAM DESCRIPTION The military construction appropriation for the Army provides for acquisition, construction, installation, and equipment of temporary or permanent public works, military installations, facilities, and real property for the Army. This appropriation also provides for facilities required as well as funds for infrastructure projects and programs required to support bases and installations around the world. COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION The Committee recommends $2,003,474,000 for the Army for fiscal year 2007. This amount is $78,613,000 above the fiscal year 2006 enacted level, including rescissions and supplemental funds, and $56,288,000 below the budget request. Further detail of the Committee's recommendation is provided in the State table at the end of this report. Master Plan, Fort Belvoir, Virginia.--The Committee is aware of the disparate tenant agencies and organizations that will be brought together at Fort Belvoir, Virginia, as a result of the 2005 BRAC process. Further, the Committee is concerned that the significant construction planned for Fort Belvoir as a part of this consolidation be developed in a comprehensive way, to prevent redundant expenditures and inefficient use of the land and infrastructure at Fort Belvoir. The Committee directs the Department of the Army, in consultation with tenant agencies, to submit a master plan for Fort Belvoir, incorporating BRAC 2005 decisions, by September 30, 2006. The Committee fully expects contracts for the following projects to be awarded, as early in fiscal year 2007 as practical: Advanced Individual Training Barracks, Fort Meade, Maryland.--The Committee urges the Army to advance the construction of this facility in its Future Years Defense Plan to fiscal year 2008 to replace the current failing facilities constructed in 1954, and meet the urgent housing needs for trainees at Fort Meade. Aviation Readiness Center Addition/Alteration, Helena Regional Airport, Montana.--Of the funds provided for planning and design in this account, the Committee directs that $3,370,000 be made available for the design of this facility. Body Repair Building, Red River Army Depot, Texas.--Of the funds provided for planning and design in this account, the Committee directs that $500,000 be made available for the design of this facility and urges the Army to include this project in its Future Years Defense Plan in the fiscal year 2008 budget submission. General Instruction Building, Fort Lewis, Washington.--Of the funds provided for unspecified minor construction in this account, the Committee directs that $1,500,000 be made available for the construction of this facility. Multifunction Center, Camp Rudder, Eglin Air Force Base, Florida.--Of the funds provided for unspecified minor construction in this account, the Committee directs that $1,450,000 be made available for the construction of this facility, which is urgently needed to replace a multipurpose center which was destroyed by fire in November 2005. The Committee notes that Camp Rudder is a remote Army Ranger enclave located on Eglin AFB, and that as a result of the fire, no multifunction facilities are available within 25 miles for the students or permanent party personnel attached to Camp Rudder. Railroad Line Spur, Wabasha, Hawthorne Army Depot, Nevada.--Of the funds provided for unspecified minor construction in this account, the Committee directs that $1,400,000 be made available for the construction of this railroad spur. Regional NCO Academy, Fort Richardson, Alaska.--Of the funds provided for planning and design in this account, the Committee directs that $1,300,000 be made available for the design of this facility. The Committee recommends rescissions as follows: [In thousands of dollars] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Committee Public Law Location Installation Project Title recommendation ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Public Law 109-114 (Fiscal Year 2006) Korea..............................

This appropriation also provides for facilities required as well as funds for infrastructure projects and programs required to support bases and installations around the world. COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION The Committee recommends $1,200,065,000 for Navy and Marine Corps military construction for fiscal year 2007. This amount is $231,457,000 below the fiscal year 2006 enacted level, including rescissions and supplemental funds, and $38,027,000 above the budget request. Further detail of the Committee's recommendation is provided in the State table at the end of this report. Master Plan, Guam.--The Committee is aware of the considerable plans of United States Pacific Command [PACOM] to expand the presence of the United States military on Guam, including the movement of approximately 8,000 Marines from Japan. The Government of Japan has agreed to pay approximately 60 percent of the estimated $10,300,000,000 cost of this relocation. The Committee commends the Department of Defense for engaging our allies prior to this move to ensure the moving process and its cost are undertaken as a partnership. Further, the Committee commends the Government of Japan for its commitment to our common defense. The prospect of a $10,300,000,000 construction program on the island of Guam is ambitious to say the least, and will require a well-developed master plan to efficiently use the available land and infrastructure. Absent this plan, the Committee has not recommended funding for two projects included in the President's budget request at Anderson Air Force Base. Rather, the Committee recommends deferring these projects until such time as they can be incorporated into a master plan for Guam and viewed in that context. To that end, the Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to submit a master plan for Guam by December 29, 2006, to the Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress and clarifies its standing request of GAO to review overseas master plans, to include a review of the master planning effort for Guam. The Committee also directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a report accounting for the United States' share of this construction program to project- level detail and the year in which each project is expected to be funded.

This appropriation also provides for facilities required as well as funds for infrastructure projects and programs required to support bases and installations around the world. COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION The Committee recommends $1,191,175,000 for the Air Force in fiscal year 2007. This amount is $232,982,000 below the fiscal year 2006 enacted level, including rescissions and supplemental funds, and $35,027,000 above the budget request. Further detail of the Committee's recommendation is provided in the State table at the end of this report. United States Air Force Academy, Colorado.--The Committee notes that most of the United States Air Force Academy's [USAFA's] campus, including its dormitories, classrooms, gymnasiums, training centers, and administrative buildings, was constructed in the late 1950s. The Committee recognizes the Air Force invested a sizable amount of military construction funding, totaling $310,000,000, and operation and maintenance facility and infrastructure sustainment funding, totaling $437,600,000, at the Air Force Academy from fiscal year 2000 to fiscal year 2006. The Committee supported these requests and notes they were helpful in alleviating some concerns about the Academy's infrastructure. However, the Committee understands that these requests are not sufficient to address the overall rapidly deteriorating condition of a significant portion of the USAFA campus. The Committee encourages the Air Force to continue its strong commitment to the Academy's infrastructure. The Committee is interested in the Air Force's infrastructure recapitalization plan for the Academy, and urges the Air Force to provide resources needed to improve the infrastructure at USAFA over the long-term. Therefore, the Committee directs the Air Force to submit a master infrastructure recapitalization plan for USAFA facilities by no later than March 16, 2007. The plan should include descriptions of the projects that are needed to improve the infrastructure required for educating, training, and equipping the cadets at USAFA; and a funding plan showing when the Air Force would expect to support the projects listed. The Committee fully expects contracts for the following projects to be awarded, as early in fiscal year 2007 as practical: Consolidated Base Support Center, Dyess AFB, Texas.--Of the funds provided for planning and design in this account, the Committee directs that $1,800,000 be made available for the design of this facility. Information Technology Complex, Phase II, Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio.--Of the funds provided for planning and design in this account, the Committee directs that $900,000 be made available for the design of this facility. Joint Intelligence Technical Training Facility, Phase I, Goodfellow AFB, Texas.--Of the funds provided for planning and design in this account, the Committee directs that $1,550,000 be made available for the design of this facility. Parking Structure, Los Angeles Air Force Base, California.--Of the funds provided for planning and design in this account, the Committee directs that $1,300,000 be made available for the design of this facility and urges the Air Force to fully fund this project in fiscal year 2008 to alleviate a severe parking shortage. 33rd IOS Operations Facility, Lackland AFB, Texas.--Of the funds provided for planning and design in this account, the Committee directs that $1,750,000 be made available for the design of this facility.

This appropriation also provides for facilities required as well as funds for infrastructure projects and programs required to support bases and installations around the world. COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION The Committee recommends $1,038,216,000 for projects considered within the ``Defense-Wide'' account. This amount is $6,150,000 below the fiscal year 2006 enacted level, including rescissions and supplemental funds, and $169,982,000 below the budget request. Further detail of the Committee's recommendation is provided in the State table at the end of this report. CONTINGENCY CONSTRUCTION The Committee has provided $10,000,000 for the Secretary of Defense ``Contingency construction'' account. This account provides funds which may be used by the Secretary of Defense for unforeseen facility requirements and military exercises, including those related to the global war on terror. ENERGY CONSERVATION INVESTMENT PROGRAM The Committee recommends the full budget request of $60,000,000 for the Energy Conservation Investment Program [ECIP]. The Committee maintains a strong interest in renewable energy resources, including wind, solar, and geothermal, and commends the Services for the awards they have received for renewable energy initiatives, including the Presidential Awards for Leadership in Federal Energy Management. Energy Efficiency.--The Committee notes that energy efficiency in building practices provides significant opportunities for energy savings and thus cost savings for the Department of Defense. The Committee therefore directs the Department to incorporate the highest energy efficiency standards possible into the building envelopes of all construction funded under this act. ``Energy efficiency'' is defined as in sections 179D(c) and 45L(c) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (26 U.S.C. 1), as amended by the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (Public Law 109-58). Water Conservation.--The Committee encourages the Department of Defense to aggressively pursue water conservation technologies in its construction projects, and notes that the Army has promulgated a standard for the use of waterfree urinals in new military construction and in major renovations of existing facilities. The Committee commends the Army for its adoption of this fiscally and environmentally prudent technology, and directs the Secretary of the Army to report to the Committee by December 31, 2006, on the Army's implementation of the new standard, including the impact on energy consumption, water use, and utility costs at facilities using the technology. The Committee encourages the Departments of the Navy and Air Force, and the Defense Agencies, to explore the adoption of similar standards for new construction and major renovation, as appropriate, with particular attention to facilities in arid environments. The Secretary of Defense is directed to report to the Committee by March 1, 2007, on the Department's actions to integrate this and other water conserving technologies into its facilities.

This appropriation also provides for facilities required as well as funds for infrastructure projects and programs required to support bases and installations. COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION The Committee recommends $1,075,303,000 for military construction projects for the Guard and Reserve Components. This amount is $733,802,000 below the fiscal year 2006 enacted level, including rescissions and supplementals, and $216,487,000 above the budget request. Further detail of the Committee's recommendation is provided in the State table at the end of this report. The Committee recommends approval of military construction, Reserve Components, as outlined in the following table: RESERVE COMPONENTS ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Committee Component Budget request recommendation ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Army National Guard..................... $473,197,000 $537,675,000 Air National Guard...................... 125,788,000 252,834,000 Army Reserve............................ 166,487,000 191,450,000 Navy Reserve............................ 48,408,000 48,408,000 Air Force Reserve....................... 44,936,000 44,936,000 ------------------------------- Total............................. 858,816,000 1,075,303,000 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Committee recommends rescissions as follows: [In thousands of dollars] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Committee Public Law Location Installation Project Title recommendation -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Public Law 109-114 (Fiscal Massachusetts........

The Committee therefore urges the Army National Guard to accelerate planning and design for this facility with funds previously appropriated for this purpose, and to include full funding for this project in the fiscal year 2008 budget request. Armed Forces Reserve Center, Monticello, Mississippi.--The Committee understands a new reserve center is urgently needed at this location and is among the top priorities of the Mississippi Adjutant General. The Committee therefore urges the Army National Guard to accelerate planning and design for this facility with funds previously appropriated for this purpose, and to include full funding for this project in the fiscal year 2008 budget request. Armed Forces Reserve Center, Logan County, West Virginia.-- The Committee understands that a new reserve center is urgently needed at this location to accommodate a major mission change and expansion resulting from the Army's transformation and modularity efforts. The Committee therefore urges the Army National Guard to accelerate planning and design for this facility with funds previously appropriated for this purpose, and to include full funding for this project in the fiscal year 2008 budget request.

The Committee urges the Air National Guard to include funds for this project in its fiscal year 2008 budget request. North Atlantic Treaty Organization SECURITY INVESTMENT PROGRAM Appropriations, 2006.................................... $174,789,000 Budget estimate, 2007................................... 220,985,000 House allowance......................................... 200,985,000 Committee recommendation................................ 205,985,000 PROGRAM DESCRIPTION The North Atlantic Treaty Organization [NATO] appropriation provides for the U.S. cost-share of the NATO Security Investment Program for the acquisition and construction of military facilities and installations (including international military headquarters) and for related expenses for the collective defense of the NATO Treaty Area. COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION The Committee recommends $205,985,000 for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization [NATO] Security Investment Program for fiscal year 2007. This amount is $31,196,000 above the fiscal year 2006 enacted level and $15,000,000 below the budget request. European Investment.--The United States contributes 23.2 percent of the funding provided to the NATO Security Investment Program in addition to the President's current budget request of $940,000,000 for United States military construction projects at United States military installations in the European Theater in fiscal year 2007. Thus, while the United States contributes more than any other country to the NATO infrastructure program, it will also contribute almost $1,000,000,000 unilaterally in military infrastructure in fiscal year 2007 to the common defense of the NATO alliance. It is against this backdrop that the Committee urges the United States' NATO allies to increase their investment in our common defense and, as detailed in section 118 of the administrative provisions of this title, directs the Department of Defense to report to the Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress, no later than December 1, 2006, on its efforts to obtain contributions from our allies to our common defense. The Committee continues the requirement that no funds will be used for projects (including planning and design) related to the enlargement of NATO and the Partnership for Peace program, unless the Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress are notified 21 days in advance of the obligation of funds. The Department of Defense is directed to identify separately the level of effort anticipated for NATO enlargement and for Partnership for Peace for that fiscal year in future budget justifications. Family Housing Overview The Committee recommends $3,988,827,000 for family housing construction, operations and maintenance, and the Department's family housing improvement fund. This amount is $493,405,000 below the amount appropriated in fiscal year 2006, including rescissions and supplemental funds, and $95,213,000 below the fiscal year 2007 budget request. Oversight of Privatized Family Housing Projects.--The Committee is concerned that, as the inventory of military family housing transitions from direct military management to the management of private developers, the military Services remain vigilant in their oversight of family housing. It is imperative that the Services ensure private developers, once entrusted with contracts to provide family housing, maintain military communities not only at levels commensurate with the level of dedication exhibited by their occupants, but in accordance with their requirements under contract. To ensure this vigilance, the Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to submit quarterly reports to the Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress on the maintenance of family housing units and the contributions of housing privatization entities to the recapitalization accounts for each ongoing family housing privatization project. Family Housing Construction, Army Appropriations, 2006 (including rescission)............. $528,140,000 Budget estimate, 2007................................... 594,991,000 House allowance......................................... 578,791,000 Committee recommendation................................ 578,791,000 PROGRAM DESCRIPTION The family housing appropriation for the Army provides for expenses of family housing for construction, including acquisition, replacement, addition, expansion, extension, and alteration. This appropriation provides for the financing of all costs for construction, improvements and leasing of all Army housing. In addition to quality of life enhancements, the program contains initiatives to reduce operating costs and conserve energy by upgrading or replacing facilities which can be made more efficient through relatively modest investments in improvements. The Department of Defense is authorized to use limited partnerships, make direct and guaranteed loans, and convey Department-owned property to stimulate the private sector to increase the availability of affordable, quality housing for the Army. COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION The Committee recommends $578,791,000 for family housing construction, Army, in fiscal year 2007. This amount is $50,651,000 above the fiscal year 2006 enacted level, including rescissions, and $16,200,000 below the budget request.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION The Committee recommends $498,525,000 for family housing operation and maintenance, Navy and Marine Corps, in fiscal year 2007. This amount is $133,137,000 below the fiscal year 2006 enacted level, including supplemental funds, and $10,601,000 below the budget request.

This appropriation provides for the financing of all costs for construction, improvements and leasing of all Air Force housing. In addition to quality of life enhancements, the program contains initiatives to reduce operating costs and conserve energy by upgrading or replacing facilities which can be made more efficient through relatively modest investments in improvements. The Department of Defense is authorized to use limited partnerships, make direct and guaranteed loans, and convey Department-owned property to stimulate the private sector to increase the availability of affordable, quality housing for the Air Force. COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION The Committee recommends $1,115,938,000 for family housing construction, Air Force, in fiscal year 2007. This amount is $252,930,000 below the fiscal year 2006 enacted level, including rescissions and supplemental funds, and $67,200,000 below the budget request. Family Housing, Spangdahlem Air Base, Germany.--The Air Force's fiscal year 2007 budget request to spend $39,294,000 to build a second phase of family housing (60 units) at Spangdahlem Air Base, Germany, has been of great interest to the Committee. In fiscal year 2006, Congress provided $45,385,000 for the first phase of family housing (79 units) at Spangdahlem in an effort to put the needs of our airmen and their families first and to demonstrate the commitment of the United States to the community surrounding Spangdahlem Air Base. The Committee has conducted extensive review of the Air Force's proposed housing plan at Spangdahlem, including briefings, site visits to Spangdahlem Air Base and surrounding areas, and a request of GAO to review the Air Force's methodology in undertaking this project. The Committee questioned the Air Force's underlying assumptions, such as residual value calculations, and remains skeptical of its original proposal to build housing at Spangdahlem without first conducting an updated Housing Requirements Market Analysis [HRMA] and measuring community interest in build-to-lease housing at Spangdahlem. According to the GAO, the Air Force did not follow its own guidance in performing it original life- cycle cost analysis. Throughout this process, the Committee has supported the need for family housing at Spangdahlem Air Base. After this thorough review, the Committee recommends fully funding the President's fiscal year 2007 budget request of $39,294,000 for family housing at Spangdahlem. However, the Committee does not expect funding for a third phase of housing at Spangdahlem, as originally proposed by the Air Force, to be necessary, as an updated HRMA should reduce the expected need and build-to-lease proposals should meet the remaining need at Spangdahlem. Therefore, this Committee does not intend to provide funding for housing at Spangdahlem Air Base in fiscal year 2008. Family Housing, Malmstrom AFB, Montana.--The Committee recognizes the quality of construction from past housing projects on Malmstrom AFB that utilized local contractors. The Committee therefore directs the Air Force to contract for housing at Malmstrom AFB in housing blocks small enough to allow local contractors to compete for these contracts and further directs the Air Force not to use language that may unfairly bias contract bids to large companies over small contractors. CONSTRUCTION The Committee recommends $765,159,000 for new construction, as shown below: AIR FORCE FAMILY HOUSING CONSTRUCTION [In thousands of dollars] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Committee Location Installation Project title Budget request recommendation -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Alaska..................................

This includes debt payment, leasing, minor construction, principal and interest charges, and insurance premiums of Air Force family housing. COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION The Committee recommends $755,071,000 for family housing operation and maintenance, Air Force, in fiscal year 2007. This amount is $51,218,000 below the fiscal year 2006 enacted level, including supplemental funds, and equal to the budget request.

Budget estimate, 2007................................... $8,808,000 House allowance......................................... 8,808,000 Committee recommendation................................ 8,808,000 PROGRAM DESCRIPTION The family housing appropriation for Defense-Wide provides for expenses of family housing for construction, including acquisition, replacement, addition, expansion, extension, and alteration. This appropriation provides for the financing of all costs for construction, improvements and leasing of housing Defense-Wide. In addition to quality of life enhancements, the program contains initiatives to reduce operating costs and conserve energy by upgrading or replacing facilities which can be made more efficient through relatively modest investments in improvements. The Department of Defense is authorized to use limited partnerships, make direct and guaranteed loans, and convey Department-owned property to stimulate the private sector to increase the availability of affordable, quality housing Defense-Wide. COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION The Committee recommends $8,808,000 for family housing construction, Defense-Wide, in fiscal year 2007. This amount is $8,808,000 above the fiscal year 2006 enacted level and equal to the budget request.

This includes debt payment, leasing, minor construction, principal and interest charges, and insurance premiums of Defense family housing. COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION The Committee recommends $48,506,000 for family housing operation and maintenance, Defense-Wide. This amount is $2,579,000 above the fiscal year 2006 enacted level and equal to the budget request.

This account provides seed money for housing privatization initiatives. COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION The Committee recommends $2,500,000 for the Family Housing Improvement Fund. This amount is $25,000 above the fiscal year 2006 enacted level and equal to the budget request. Chemical Demilitarization Construction, Defense-Wide Appropriations, 2006.................................................... Budget estimate, 2007................................... $130,993,000 House allowance......................................... 90,993,000 Committee recommendation................................ 140,993,000 PROGRAM DESCRIPTION This account provides funding for design and construction of full-scale chemical disposal facilities and associated projects to upgrade installation support facilities and infrastructures required to support the Chemical Demilitarization Program. This account was established starting in fiscal year 2005 to comply with section 141(b) of the fiscal year 2003 National Defense Authorization Act. COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION The Committee recommends $140,993,000 for chemical demilitarization construction projects, an increase of $10,000,000 over the President's budget request. The Committee notes that the fiscal year 2006 budget request did not include any funding for chemical demilitarization construction in the military construction program, but instead funded the entire chemical demilitarization program through the ``Defense chemical agents and munitions destruction, Army, research and development'' account. The $51,000,000 provided for construction activities at the Blue Grass and Pueblo sites in this account in fiscal year 2006 was a one-time exception to assist the Defense Department to restart work at these two sites. The Committee directs the Department to include future requests for funding in the appropriate military construction accounts. Base Closure Account 1990 Appropriations, 2006.................................... $252,279,000 Budget estimate, 2007................................... 191,220,000 House allowance......................................... 216,220,000 Committee recommendation................................ 191,220,000 PROGRAM DESCRIPTION The base closure appropriation (1990) provides for clean up and disposal of property consistent with the four closure rounds required by the base closure Acts of 1988 and 1990. COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION The Committee recommends a total of $191,220,000 for the Base Closure Account 1990. This is $61,059,000 below the fiscal year 2006 enacted level and equal to the budget request. The Military Departments have assured the Committee that this level of funding, in conjunction with estimated proceeds from Navy land sales of $334,800,000, is adequate to address urgent requirements for fiscal year 2007 resulting from prior BRAC rounds. Since the start of the current process for BRAC, Military Construction Appropriations Acts have appropriated a net total of $23,458,554,000 for the entire program for fiscal years 1990 through 2006. The total amount appropriated for BRAC 1990, combined with the Committee recommendation for fiscal year 2007 is $23,649,774,000. In appropriating these funds, the Committee continues to provide the Department with the flexibility to allocate funds by Service, function, and installation. The following table displays the total amount appropriated for each round of base closure, including amounts recommended for fiscal year 2007 for BRAC 1990.

Environmental Remediation, McClellan AFB, California.--The former McClellan Air Force Base, closed by the 1995 Base Realignment and Closure round, performed operation and maintenance service on aircraft involving the use, storage, and disposal of hazardous materials including industrial solvents, caustic cleansers, paints, metal plating wastes, low-level radioactive wastes, and a variety of fuel oils and lubricants. Active cleanup of solvents in soil and groundwater has been continuing since it first started in the mid 1980s. In 1987 the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency [EPA] named McClellan a Superfund Site. The Committee is concerned that the funds the Air Force programs for environmental cleanup annually at McClellan are being diverted to bases not on the EPA's National Priorities List [NPL]. The NPL highlights known releases or threatened releases of hazardous substances, pollutants, or contaminants throughout the United States and its territories. The Committee strongly urges the Air Force to accelerate cleanup efforts at McClellan, and to provide the Committees on Appropriation of both Houses of Congress, no later than December 29, 2006, with a timetable and full accounting of past and projected BRAC funding for this site through the completion of the remediation process.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION The Committee recommends a total of $5,237,100,000 for the Department of Defense Base Closure Account 2005. This amount is $3,747,679,000 above the fiscal year 2006 enacted level and $389,123,000 below the budget request. Jointness.--The 2005 BRAC round was undertaken in large part to facilitate a more ``joint'' Department of Defense. While this process requires the Services to reconcile sometimes conflicting philosophies, the Department is becoming more ``joint'' as it implements the 2005 BRAC decisions. The chart below details joint projects to be carried out using BRAC 2005 funding.

TITLE II DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS Appropriations, 2006 (including supplementals).......... $71,457,832,000 Budget estimate, 2007................................... 77,908,797,000 House allowance......................................... 77,908,811,000 Committee recommendation................................ 77,908,797,000 PROGRAM DESCRIPTION The Veterans Administration was established as an independent agency by Executive Order 5398 of July 21, 1930, in accordance with the Act of July 3, 1930 (46 Stat. 1016). This act authorized the President to consolidate and coordinate Federal agencies especially created for or concerned with the administration of laws providing benefits to veterans, including the Veterans' Bureau, the Bureau of Pensions, and the National Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers. On March 15, 1989, the Veterans Administration was elevated to Cabinet-level status as the Department of Veterans Affairs [VA]. The VA's mission is to serve America's veterans and their families as their principal advocate in ensuring they receive the care, support, and recognition they have earned in service to the Nation. The VA's operating units include the Veterans Benefits Administration, Veterans Health Administration, National Cemetery Administration, and staff support offices. The Veterans Benefits Administration [VBA] provides an integrated program of non-medical veteran benefits. The VBA administers a broad range of benefits to veterans and other eligible beneficiaries through 57 regional offices and the records processing center in St. Louis, Missouri. The benefits provided include: compensation for service-connected disabilities; pensions for wartime, needy, and totally disabled veterans; vocational rehabilitation assistance; educational and training assistance; home buying assistance; estate protection services for veterans under legal disability; information and assistance through personalized contacts; and six life insurance programs. The Veterans Health Administration [VHA] develops, maintains, and operates a national healthcare delivery system for eligible veterans; carries out a program of education and training of healthcare personnel; carries out a program of medical research and development; and furnishes health services to members of the Armed Forces during periods of war or national emergency. A system of 156 hospitals, 935 outpatient clinics, 135 nursing homes, and 43 VA domiciliary residential rehabilitation treatment programs is maintained to meet the VA's medical mission. The National Cemetery Administration provides for the interment of the remains of eligible deceased servicepersons and discharged veterans in any national cemetery with available grave space; permanently maintains these graves; provides headstones and markers for the graves of eligible persons in national and private cemeteries; administers the grant program for aid to States in establishing, expanding, or improving State veterans' cemeteries; and provides certificates to families of deceased veterans recognizing the veterans' contributions and service to the Nation. The National Cemetery Administration includes 158 cemeterial installations and activities. Other VA offices include the General Counsel, Inspector General, Boards of Contract Appeals and Veterans Appeals, and the general administration, which supports the Secretary, Deputy Secretary, Under Secretary for Benefits, Under Secretary for Health, and the Under Secretary for Memorial Affairs. COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION The Committee recommends $77,908,797,000 for the Department of Veterans Affairs, including $41,415,643,000 in mandatory spending and $36,493,154,000 in discretionary spending. The amount provided for discretionary activities represents an increase of $2,240,836,000 above the fiscal year 2006 enacted level, including supplemental funds, and equal to the budget request. Administrative Policy and Legislative Proposals.--The Committee is deeply concerned that the Department of Veterans Affairs continues to assume congressional approval of its policy and legislative proposals before the Congress has done so. The current budget request has not only assumed full enactment of its proposal, the Department assumed $795,509,000 in revenue and savings as part of the budget request. Therefore, the Department's budget request is $795,509,000 less than the stated need. This practice of under-requesting the true needs of the Department to care for our veterans, with the mandate that the Congress either enact the fees, shortchange veterans healthcare, or make up the difference, is not responsible budgeting. It is not a practice that the Congress should tolerate. Risking the healthcare service for our veterans is not a practice our veterans should tolerate. Therefore, the Department of Veterans Affairs should thoroughly evaluate revenue alternatives and report these alternatives to the proper Committees in Congress for consideration prior to including any such assumptions in budget requests. In the strongest terms possible, this Committee directs the Department not to submit another budget using assumed fees and copayments until such time as the Congress approves and authorizes the Department to implement new revenue enhancing policies. To do otherwise undermines the entire appropriations process and a system that veterans depend on for critical care. Veterans Benefits Administration Appropriations, 2006.................................... $37,360,027,000 Budget estimate, 2007................................... 41,569,801,000 House allowance......................................... 41,569,815,000 Committee recommendation................................ 41,569,801,000 PROGRAM DESCRIPTION The Veterans Benefits Administration [VBA] is responsible for the payment of compensation and pension benefits to eligible ser- vice-connected disabled veterans. This administration also provides education benefits and housing loan guarantees. COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION The Committee recommends $41,569,801,000 for the Veterans Benefits Administration. This amount is composed of $38,007,095,000 for ``Compensation and pensions''; $3,262,006,000 for ``Readjustment benefits''; $49,850,000 for ``Veterans insurance and indemnities''; $196,692,000 for the ``Veterans housing benefit program fund program account'', with $100,000,000 in credit subsidies and $153,185,000 for administrative expenses; $53,000 for the ``Vocational rehabilitation loans program account'' and $305,000 for administrative expenses; and $615,000 for the ``Native American veteran housing loan program account''. COMPENSATION AND PENSIONS (INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS) Appropriations, 2006.................................... $33,897,787,000 Budget estimate, 2007................................... 38,007,095,000 House allowance......................................... 38,007,095,000 Committee recommendation................................ 38,007,095,000 PROGRAM DESCRIPTION Compensation is payable to living veterans who have suffered impairment of earning power from service-connected disabilities. The amount of compensation is based upon the impact of disabilities on a veteran's earning capacity. Death compensation or dependency and indemnity compensation is payable to the surviving spouses and dependents of veterans whose deaths occur while on active duty or result from service- connected disabilities. A clothing allowance may also be provided for service-connected veterans who use a prosthetic or orthopedic device. Pensions are an income security benefit payable to needy wartime veterans who are precluded from gainful employment due to non-service-connected disabilities which render them permanently and totally disabled. Under the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990, veterans 65 years of age or older are no longer considered permanently and totally disabled by law and are thus subject to a medical evaluation. Death pensions are payable to needy surviving spouses and children of deceased wartime veterans. The rate payable for both disability and death pensions is determined on the basis of the annual income of the veteran or their survivors. COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION The Committee recommends $38,007,095,000 for ``Compensation and pensions''. This is an increase of $4,109,308,000 above the fiscal year 2006 enacted level and the same as the budget request. The amount includes funds for a projected fiscal year 2007 cost-of-living increase of 2.6 percent for pension recipients. The appropriation includes $28,112,000 in payments to the ``General operating expenses'' and ``Medical services'' accounts for expenses related to implementing provisions of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990, the Veterans' Benefits Act of 1992, the Veterans' Benefits Improvements Act of 1994, and the Veterans' Benefits Improvements Act of 1996. Claims Processing Wait Time.--The Committee is aware the VA claim processing wait time is projected to increase significantly. At a time when our OEF/OIF veterans are returning with significant injuries, the Committee believes the VA should be processing veterans claims in a more timely and efficient manner. The Committee is concerned how the VA will reduce the number of average days processing claims. Progress is not being made fast enough toward achieving the 125 day strategic goal. Therefore, the Committee directs the VA to provide a report on the number of new hires for claim processing in fiscal year 2006 and projections for 2007, the attrition rate for claims examiners, and the projected productivity per FTE. This report is due to the Committee on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress no later than 60 days following enactment of this act. READJUSTMENT BENEFITS Appropriations, 2006.................................... $3,309,234,000 Budget estimate, 2007................................... 3,262,006,000 House allowance......................................... 3,262,006,000 Committee recommendation................................ 3,262,006,000 PROGRAM DESCRIPTION The ``Readjustment benefits'' appropriation finances the education and training of veterans and servicepersons whose initial entry into active duty took place on or after July 1, 1985. These benefits are included in the All-Volunteer Force Educational Assistance Program (Montgomery GI bill) authorized under 38 U.S.C. section 30. Eligibility to receive this assistance began in 1987. Basic benefits are funded through appropriations made to the readjustment benefits appropriation and transfers from the Department of Defense. This account also finances vocational rehabilitation, specially adapted housing grants, automobile grants with the associated approved adaptive equipment for certain disabled veterans, and educational assistance allowances for eligible dependents of those veterans who died from service-connected causes or have a total permanent service-connected disability, as well as dependents of servicepersons who were captured or missing in action. COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION The Committee recommends $3,262,006,000 for ``Readjustment benefits''. This is a decrease of $47,228,000 below the fiscal year 2006 enacted level and the same as the budget request. VETERANS INSURANCE AND INDEMNITIES Appropriations, 2006.................................... $45,907,000 Budget estimate, 2007................................... 49,850,000 House allowance......................................... 49,850,000 Committee recommendation................................ 49,850,000 PROGRAM DESCRIPTION The ``Veterans insurance and indemnities'' appropriation consists of the former appropriations for military and naval insurance, applicable to World War I veterans; National Service Life Insurance, applicable to certain World War II veterans; Servicemen's indemnities, applicable to Korean conflict veterans; and veterans mortgage life insurance to individuals who have received a grant for specially adapted housing. COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION The Committee recommends $49,850,000 for ``Veterans insurance and indemnities''. This is an increase of $3,943,000 above the fiscal year 2006 enacted level and the same as the budget request. The Department estimates there will be 7,270,907 policies in force in fiscal year 2007 with a value of $1,100,182,000,000. VETERANS HOUSING BENEFIT PROGRAM FUND PROGRAM ACCOUNT ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Administrative Program account expenses ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Appropriations, 2006................ $64,586,000 $153,575,000 Budget estimate, 2007............... 196,692,000 153,185,000 House allowance..................... 196,692,000 153,185,000 Committee recommendation............ 196,692,000 153,185,000 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ PROGRAM DESCRIPTION This appropriation provides for all costs, with the exception of the ``Native American veteran housing loan program'' and the ``Guaranteed transitional housing loans for homeless veterans program'', of the VA's direct and guaranteed housing loans, as well as the administrative expenses to carry out these programs. VA loan guaranties are made to service members, veterans, reservists and unremarried surviving spouses for the purchase of homes, condominiums, manufactured homes and for refinancing loans. VA guarantees part of the total loan, permitting the purchaser to obtain a mortgage with a competitive interest rate, even without a downpayment, if the lender agrees. The VA requires that a downpayment be made for a manufactured home. With a VA guaranty, the lender is protected against loss up to the amount of the guaranty if the borrower fails to repay the loan. COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION The Committee recommends such sums as may be necessary for funding subsidy payments, estimated to total $100,000,000; and $153,185,000 for administrative expenses for fiscal year 2007. Bill language limits gross obligations for direct loans for specially-adapted housing to $500,000. VOCATIONAL REHABILITATION LOANS PROGRAM ACCOUNT ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Administrative Program account expenses ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Appropriations, 2006................ $53,000 $305,000 Budget estimate, 2007............... 53,000 305,000 House allowance..................... 67,000 305,000 Committee recommendation............ 53,000 305,000 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ PROGRAM DESCRIPTION This appropriation covers the funding subsidy cost of direct loans for vocational rehabilitation of eligible veterans and, in addition, it includes administrative expenses necessary to carry out the direct loan program. Loans of up to $977 (based on the indexed chapter 31 subsistence allowance rate) are available to service-connected disabled veterans enrolled in vocational rehabilitation programs, as provided under 38 U.S.C. chapter 31, when the veteran is temporarily in need of additional assistance. Repayment is made in 10 monthly installments, without interest, through deductions from future payments of compensation, pension, subsistence allowance, educational assistance allowance, or retirement pay. Most loans are repaid in full in less than 1 year. COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION The Committee recommends $53,000 for program costs and $305,000 for administrative expenses for the ``Vocational rehabilitation loans program account''. The administrative expenses may be transferred to and merged with the ``General operating expenses'' account. Bill language is included limiting program direct loans to $4,242,000. It is estimated that the VA will make 4,630 loans in fiscal year 2007, with an average amount of $728. NATIVE AMERICAN VETERAN HOUSING LOAN PROGRAM ACCOUNT Appropriations, 2006.................................... $580,000 Budget estimate, 2007................................... 615,000 House allowance......................................... 615,000 Committee recommendation................................ 615,000 PROGRAM DESCRIPTION This program tests the feasibility of enabling VA to make direct home loans to Native American veterans who live on U.S. trust lands. It is a pilot program that began in 1993 and expires on December 31, 2008. Subsidy amounts necessary to support this program were appropriated in fiscal year 1993. COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION The Committee recommends $615,000 for administrative expenses associated with this program. This is $35,000 above the fiscal year 2006 enacted level and the same as the budget request. GUARANTEED TRANSITIONAL HOUSING LOANS FOR HOMELESS VETERANS PROGRAM ACCOUNT PROGRAM DESCRIPTION This program was established by Public Law 105-368, the Veterans Programs Enhancement Act of 1998. The program is a pilot project designed to expand the supply of transitional housing for homeless veterans and to guarantee up to 15 loans with a maximum aggregate value of $100,000,000. The project must enforce sobriety standards and provide a wide range of supportive services such as counseling for substance abuse and development of job readiness skills. COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION All funds authorized for the ``Guaranteed transitional housing loans for homeless veterans program account'' have been appropriated. Therefore, additional appropriations are not required. Administrative expenses of the program, limited to $750,000 for fiscal year 2007, will be borne by the ``Medical services'' and ``General operating expenses'' accounts. Veterans Health Administration Appropriations, 2006.................................... $29,340,517,000 Budget estimate, 2007................................... 32,657,000,000 House allowance......................................... 32,695,000,000 Committee recommendation................................ 32,670,000,000 PROGRAM DESCRIPTION The Department of Veterans Affairs operates the largest Federal medical care delivery system in the country, with 156 hospitals, 43 VA domicilary residential rehabilitation treatment programs, 135 nursing homes, and 935 outpatient clinics, which include independent, satellite, community-based, and rural outreach clinics. The Department of Veterans Affairs ``Medical care collections fund'' [MCCF] was established by the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 (Public Law 105-33). In fiscal year 2004, Public Law 108-199 allowed the Department to deposit first- party and pharmacy co-payments; third-party insurance payments and enhanced use collections; long-term care co-payments; Compensated Work Therapy Program collections; Compensation and Pension Living Expenses Program collections; and Parking Program fees into the MCCF. The Parking Program provides funds for the construction, alteration, and acquisition (by purchase or lease) of parking garages at VA medical facilities authorized by 38 U.S.C. section 8109. The Secretary is required under certain circumstances to establish and collect fees for the use of such garages and parking facilities. Receipts from the parking fees are to be deposited into the MCCF and are used for medical services activities. COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION The Committee recommends $32,670,000,000 for the ``Veterans Health Administration'', without collections. This amount is composed of $28,689,000,000 for ``Medical services''; $3,569,000,000 for ``Medical facilities''; and $412,000,000 for ``Medical and prosthetic research''. Medical care collections are expected to be $2,329,000,000. Therefore, VHA will have total resources of $34,999,000,000, plus any carryover from fiscal year 2006, available in fiscal year 2007. AREAS OF INTEREST HealtheVet-Vista Electronic Health Records.--The Committee lauds the VA on its accomplishments with its electronic health record system. This premier system sets the standard for quality healthcare in both the public and private sectors. HealtheVet-Vista, an on-line patient records system, has made it possible for physicians and clinicians to have accurate and timely access to all relevant information on the veteran's health, thus enabling the best healthcare for the veteran. HealtheVet-Vista has the potential to revolutionize the healthcare system in the United States, and the Committee fully supports the VA's efforts in improving the quality of healthcare delivery. VA-DOD Bi-Directional Health Information Exchange.-- Recently the VA and DOD began live production testing of computable pharmacy and allergy data. The Departments of Veterans Affairs and Defense achieved the first-ever bi- directional exchange of standardized and computable pharmacy and allergy data in a live patient care environment. Using a new jointly developed interface known as ``CHDR'' clinicians from the William Beaumont Army Medical Center at Ft. Bliss, Texas, and the El Paso VA Healthcare System exchanged pharmacy and allergy data on patients who were receiving healthcare from both healthcare systems. Production testing also demonstrated CHDR's ability to support automatic drug-drug and drug-allergy order checking for these same patients. This unprecedented achievement is expected to have a significant impact upon the ability of VA and DOD to deliver safe, effective care to shared patients. The Committee lauds the Department on this accomplishment and encourages the Department to continue testing this new technology. The DOD has now established the Clinical Data Repository in El Paso, Texas. The William Beaumont Army Medical Center at Fort Bliss hosts a co-located DOD/VA medical facility. To enhance the use of this technology, the VA is directed to continue the VA/DOD demonstration project at the William Beaumont Army Medical Center. Traumatic Brain Injury.--The Committee is concerned that a growing number of veterans returning from combat operations overseas are not being properly screened for Traumatic Brain Injury [TBI]. Although TBI clinically presents many of the signs and symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder [PTSD], these two serious medical conditions require separate and distinct treatment programs. The Committee encourages the Department of Veterans Affairs, in coordination with the four Polytrauma Centers in Minneapolis, Minnesota; Palo Alto, California; Richmond, Virginia; and Tampa, Florida, to establish a separate education and diagnosis screening program for VA medical centers and VET Centers that is distinct from current PTSD programs. Diabetes.--The Committee is encouraged by the Department's work on diabetes and obesity. Twenty percent of the veteran population is affected by this disease. The Committee encourages the VA to continue this important work and expand on its public-private partnerships in the area of nutrition, diabetes, obesity and health-oriented research. The Committee also recognizes that the technology to closely monitor diabetics in patients' homes or daily environments is rapidly advancing. These advances depend on the reliable collection of accurate blood glucose data from patients and coaching feedback to patients. The Committee is aware that any solution to home-based monitoring of diabetes must be readily accessible, easy to use, and as effective as possible in managing veterans' diabetes. Because telephones are nearly universally accessible, when combined with third generation advanced voice interactive protocols, a voice interactive system can provide patients with a familiar and readily available management tool that other technologies do not. Such technologies combined with patient blood glucose data uploads could be especially useful in reaching homebound veterans or veterans who live outside of urban areas. The Committee encourages the VA to pursue these promising interactive technologies. Furthermore, the Committee is sensitive to the fact that there is no current standard for the transfer of data from blood glucose meters to programs in the VA healthcare centers via wire or wireless methods. The Committee recommends that the VA work with the providers of diabetes monitoring programs to establish standards for data transfer between blood glucose meters and remote diabetes monitoring programs so that this process can be fully tested for the benefit of diabetic veterans nationwide. Age-Related Hearing Loss.--The Committee recognizes the incidence and severity of age-related hearing loss and that their associated costs are increasing at dramatic rates. Currently, there are no approved therapeutics that either prevent or treat age-related hearing loss, a leading cause of disability and costs within the VA. The Committee encourages the VA to examine and support the development and testing of therapeutics aimed at preventing and treating age-related hearing loss. Advanced Nursing Education.--The Committee urges the VA in conjunction with accredited schools of nursing to explore the development of a fast track doctoral training program which would facilitate completion of a Ph.D. in nursing by qualified nurses employed within the VA network who possess their bachelor of science in nursing. Lung Cancer Screening.--The Committee encourages the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to institute a pilot program for lung cancer screening, early diagnosis and treatment among high risk veteran populations to be coordinated and partnered with the International Early Lung Cancer Action Program and its member institutions and with the designated sites of the National Cancer Institute's Lung Cancer Specialized Programs of Research Excellence. The Department shall report back to the Committee on Appropriations within 90 days of enactment of this act, on a proposal for this program. Veterans Affairs Bio-Based Packaging Public Private Partnership.--The Congress is interested in encouraging the use of bio-based products wherever possible through implementation of section 9002 of the 2002 farm bill. The Department shall develop a program for the use of bio-based products as part of its food service operations, consistent with section 9002 of the 2002 farm bill, utilizing bio-based products to the maximum extent feasible in facilities where disposable food service products are used. The Department shall report to the Congress by December 31, 2007, and annually thereafter, on its progress in developing and utilizing bio-based food service products, cleaning supplies, and other products as may be available in its operations, and the cost-savings realized or increases incurred as a result of such products. MEDICAL SERVICES (INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS) Appropriations, 2006.................................... $25,630,848,000 Budget estimate, 2007................................... 28,689,000,000 House allowance......................................... 28,689,000,000 Committee recommendation................................ 28,689,000,000 PROGRAM DESCRIPTION The ``Medical services'' account combines programs and funding into one account previously appropriated as ``Medical services'' and ``Medical administration''. The ``Medical services'' account provides for medical services of eligible veterans and beneficiaries in VA medical centers, outpatient clinic facilities, contract hospitals, State homes, and outpatient programs on a fee basis. Hospital and outpatient care is also provided by the private sector for certain dependents and survivors of veterans under the civilian health and medical programs for the VA. This account also provides funds for the expenses of management, security, and administration of the VA healthcare system. This appropriation provides for costs associated with the operation of VA medical centers; other facilities; and VHA headquarters; plus the costs of VISN offices and facility director offices; chief of staff operations; quality of care oversight; legal services; billing and coding activities; procurement; financial management; human resource management; and medical program information technology personnel services, travel, and training. COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION The Committee recommends $28,689,000,000 for ``Medical services''. This amount is an increase of $3,058,152,000 over the fiscal year 2006 enacted level and equal to the budget request. In addition, the VA has the authority to retain co- payments and third-party collections, estimated to total $2,329,000,000 in fiscal year 2007. The Committee has included bill language to make available through September 30, 2008, up to $1,350,000,000 of the ``Medical services'' appropriation. This provides flexibility to the Department of Veterans Affairs as it continues to implement significant program changes. The bill does not include requested language to allow for the transfer of $15,000,000 to the DOD/VA Health Care Sharing Incentive Fund. The Committee notes that the Fund has a large unobligated balance in its fourth year of existence, and additional funds are not recommended at this time. AREAS OF INTEREST Centers of Excellence.--Public Law 109-114 created three Centers of Excellence specializing in mental health and post- traumatic stress disorder [PTSD]. These centers could not have come at a more appropriate time. A recent DOD questionnaire determined many of the OEF/OIF service members are returning from the conflict at a high risk for PTSD. The Committee is very interested to determine what progress has been made with the three centers, Waco VAMC, Texas; San Diego VAMC, California; and Canandaigua VAMC, New York, to address mental health care, and when these centers will be operational. The VA is directed to submit a status report on each of these Centers to the Committees of Appropriations of both Houses of Congress no later than 60 days following enactment of this act. Center for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.--The Committee commends the Center for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder at the White River Junction, VA Medical Center, Vermont. This facility has directly benefited VA medical centers across the country, as well as numerous other local, State and Federal governmental agencies. The Subcommittee encourages the VA to fund the Center's budget commensurate with its activities and responsibilities. Blind Rehabilitative Service.--The VA's Blind Rehabilitative Service is known world-wide for its excellence in delivering comprehensive blind rehabilitation to our Nation's blind veterans at 10 VA Blind Rehabilitation Centers. On July, 22, 2004, GAO testified before Congress that more outpatient services for blind veterans and better outpatient training could better meet the demands of today's blind veteran population. Since 1940, the VA has focused its training and treatment at inpatient facilities. While the VA should continue to support and maintain its inpatient capacity at its Blind Rehabilitation Centers, it should also begin to expand its treatment for blind veterans through outpatient services closer to where veterans live. Within the amount provided in the medical services account, the Committee directs the VA to begin implementing a plan to expand more outpatient blind rehabilitation services and training consistent with the recommendations of the GAO report: ``More Outpatient Rehabilitation Services for Blind Veterans Could Better Meet their Needs'' (GAO-04-996T); the conclusions of the VA's Office of Finance and Allocation Resource Center; and the recommendations of the VA's Visual Impairment Advisory Board [VIAB]. The full continuum of outpatient blind and low vision rehabilitation services will include Visual Impairment Services Outpatient Rehabilitation [VISOR], Blind Rehabilitation Specialists, and Visual Impairment Center to Optimize Remaining Site [VICTORS]. Additionally, the Committee is concerned about current and future staffing levels of existing and expanded programs and directs the VA to report back to the Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress within 120 days after the enactment of this act, the status of the expansion of these services and the current and planned staffing levels of both inpatient Blind Rehabilitation Centers and the newly established outpatient services. Readjustment Counseling.--The Committee recognizes the increased and ongoing pressures facing military families, and believes it is important to take a proactive, preemptive approach in helping veterans, particularly those in the National Guard and Reserves, and their families adjust to deployments and the transition home after the battlefield. Vet Centers serve as the front line for many veterans and their families. A program has been developed that has been successfully utilized by Army families, which focuses on goals, family strengthening, and communication as tools to deal with stressful situations. The program can be successfully facilitated by Vet Center staff and can help veterans and their families to deal with both the transition from active duty to civilian life and the call up to active duty for National Guardsmen and Reservists. The Committee encourages VA to look at the DOD program and consider applying it to the veteran population. G.V. Montgomery National Center for the Study of Veterans' Education Policy, Mississippi State University, Mississippi.-- The Committee notes the advent of the G.V. ``Sonny'' Montgomery National Center for the Study of Veterans' Education Policy at Mississippi State University and encourages the VA to seek out opportunities to work with the Center as it goes about the important work of research on veterans' education and training issues. MEDICAL FACILITIES Appropriations, 2006.................................... $3,297,669,000 Budget estimate, 2007................................... 3,569,000,000 House allowance......................................... 3,594,000,000 Committee recommendation................................ 3,569,000,000 PROGRAM DESCRIPTION The ``Medical facilities'' account provides funds for the operation and maintenance of the VA healthcare system's vast capital infrastructure. This appropriation provides for costs associated with utilities, engineering, capital planning, leases, laundry and food services, groundskeeping, housekeeping, facility repair, and property disposition and acquisition. The Committee has included bill language to make available through September 30, 2008, up to $250,000,000 of the medical facilities appropriation. This provision provides flexibility to the Department as it continues to implement significant program changes. COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION The Committee recommends $3,569,000,000 for ``Medical facilities''. This amount is $271,331,000 above the fiscal year 2006 enacted level and equal to the budget request. Community-Based Outpatient Clinics.--The Committee continues to support the VA's efforts to provide healthcare delivery to veterans in rural areas through its community-based outpatient clinics [CBOCs]. The CBOCs play an important role in outreach to veterans, Reserves, and Guard forces in areas not served by major medical facilities. As a result of the direction from the Committee in the fiscal year 2006 appropriations conference report (H. Rept. 109-305) the VA submitted a report on the status of establishing Community-Based Outpatient Clinics [CBOCs] in locations around the country. While the Committee appreciates the update from the VA on the Capital Asset Realignment for Enhanced Services [CARES] Initiatives on CBOCs, it remains concerned about the VA's ability to open CBOCs in a timely fashion. The Committee encourages the VA to place an emphasis on opening new CBOCs especially in areas that lack VA primary care. Additionally, the Committee encourages the VA to move forward establishing clinics in Bellingham and Centralia, Washington; Alpena, Michigan; and in rural Colorado. The Committee is concerned that some rural areas throughout the country lack primary and secondary medical services for their veteran population. The Committee encourages the VA to study the feasibility of contracting these services in rural areas that lack VA inpatient or outpatient facilities or services. The Committees directs the VA to submit a report outlining the location of the CBOCs opened in fiscal year 2006 and the locations planned in fiscal year 2007. This report shall be due to the Committees on Appropriations in both Houses of Congress within 60 days following enactment of this act. MEDICAL AND PROSTHETIC RESEARCH Appropriations, 2006.................................... $412,000,000 Budget estimate, 2007................................... 399,000,000 House allowance......................................... 412,000,000 Committee recommendation................................ 412,000,000 PROGRAM DESCRIPTION The ``Medical and prosthetic research'' account provides funds for medical, rehabilitative, and health services research. Medical research supports basic and clinical studies that advance knowledge leading to improvements in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases and disabilities. Rehabilitation research focuses on rehabilitation engineering problems in the fields of prosthetics, orthotics, adaptive equipment for vehicles, sensory aids and related areas. Health services research focuses on improving the effectiveness and economy of the delivery of health services. COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION The Committee recommends $412,000,000 for ``Medical and prosthetic research''. This is equal to the fiscal year 2006 enacted level and $13,000,000 above the budget request. The Committee remains highly supportive of this program, and recognizes its importance both in improving healthcare services to veterans and recruiting and retaining high-quality medical professionals in the Veterans Health Administration. Gulf War Illness Research Center of Excellence.--The Committee commends the VA for establishing a center of excellence devoted to gulf war illness research, at the University of Texas, Southwestern Medical Center [UTSMC] in collaboration with the VA Medical Center in Dallas, Texas. This center is the result of the Research Advisory Committee on Gulf War Veterans' Illness' [RAC/GWVI] report recommendation to develop a comprehensive Federal research plan to address gulf war veterans illnesses by adopting a strategic research program that identifies and addresses key medical questions. As specified in the Joint Explanatory Statement of the Committee of Conference accompanying Public Law 109-114 and in accordance with RAC's funding recommendation, the Committee directs the Department to continue devoting at least $15,000,000 to gulf war illness research in this fiscal year and the next 3 years through this collaborative center. Gulf War Illness Research and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis [ALS].--Recent studies conducted by the Houston VA Medical Center, in conjunction with Baylor College of Medicine, have shown gulf war veterans were twice as likely to develop amyotrophic lateral schlerosis (ALS, also known as ``Lou Gehrig's disease'') than the general population. The Committee encourages the VA to continue researching ALS to determine the relationship to the high incidence of ALS among our gulf war veterans. Nursing Research Program.--The Committee encourages collaboration between the VA nurses and Tri-Service Nursing Research Program award recipients in the exploration of research proposals that improve the health and well-being of their shared beneficiary population. Myeloma Initiative.--Multiple Myeloma is a cancer of the plasma cell, a treatable but uncurable disease. The Committee understands the VA is working closely with the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation to establish patient education programs to inform affected veterans about this rare blood cancer disease and the proper treatment. The Committee is highly supportive and directs the VA to work with the University of Maryland to develop a pilot program on a Tablet PC Patient Education System. The Committee envisions this pilot program to test the use of Tablet PCs in a minimum of four VA medical facilities. Joint Research Initiative.--The Committee understands that the Department has been involved in discussions with the Israeli Ministry of Defense regarding a number of research issues including Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, virtual reality rehabilitation for motor recovery and ambulatory training for veterans with prosthetic limbs, and robotic rehabilitation trials for the neurologically impaired and for veterans with missing limbs. The Committee is supportive of continued discussions regarding the possibility of developing a working group composed of the Veterans Health Administration, the Israeli Ministry of Defense, clinicians, and researchers that would guide collaborative research in these areas. Not later than March 1, 2007, the Secretary shall submit to the Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress a report that describes: (1) the ways in which the Department of Veterans Affairs and Israel have cooperated on Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, virtual reality rehabilitation for motor recovery and ambulatory training for veterans with prosthetic limbs, and robotic rehabilitation trials for the neurologically impaired and for veterans with missing limbs; (2) projects initiated; and (3) plans for future cooperation and joint projects. Parkinson's Disease and Multiple Sclerosis.--The Committee commends the work of the Parkinson's Disease Research Education and Clinical Centers [PADRECCs] and Multiple Sclerosis Centers of Excellence [MSCoEs] in the Veterans Health Administration of the Department of Veterans Affairs. The six PADRECCs and two MSCoEs serve veterans across the entire Veterans Health Administration via a nationally coordinated system. These centers are the model of innovation in the delivery of highly specialized healthcare and research for chronic disease in the veteran population. The Committee commends the PADRECCs and MSCoEs for conducting clinical and basic science research, administering national outreach and education programs, and providing state-of-the-art clinical care vital not only to veterans, but to the entire Nation. The Committee encourages continued support and funding for the Parkinson's Disease Research Education and Clinical Centers and Multiple Sclerosis Centers of Excellence. Longitudinal Study.--In 1984 Congress directed the VA to initiate a large-scale survey of the psychiatric and socio- medical components of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder [PTSD] in Vietnam and Vietnam-era veterans. The National Vietnam Veterans Readjustment Study [NVVRS] is the largest nationwide psychiatric study ever done to date. Only through the NVVRS has the American public and medical community become aware of the high rates of current and lifetime PTSD, and of the long-term consequences of high stress war zone combat exposure. In 2000, Congress directed the VA to contract for a follow-up report, using the exact same participants, to assess the psychosocial, psychiatric, physical, and general well being of these individuals. The follow-up report would become a longitudinal study of the mortality and morbidity of the participants, and draw conclusions as to the long-term effects of service in the military and of service in Vietnam in particular. The results of the study were to be reported to Congress in 2005, but the study has not been executed to date. The results of the study would not only help the VA to better understand the long-term mental health and social needs of Vietnam veterans, but could prepare the VA for the long-term needs of Iraq and Afghanistan veterans who are returning in record numbers with PTSD. The Committee directs the Department to report to the Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress, within 60 days of enactment of this act, on a plan to complete this study, to include its legal ability to obtain the original data and the anticipated cost of completing the study. Educational Outreach Program.--The Committee is aware that many veterans who were part of Department of Defense programs that conducted chemical and biological warfare testing from 1962 through 1973, including the program designated as Project Shipboard Hazard and Defense [SHAD], are presenting themselves to VA medical facilities with unrecognizable or confusing medical symptoms. The Committee encourages the Department of Veterans Affairs to coordinate with the Department of Defense on an educational outreach program to all VA medical facilities to educate VA medical professionals regarding the symptoms of such testing and services veterans are eligible for pertaining to hospital care, medical services, and nursing home care. Mental Health/PTSD.--The Committee is aware of the significant impact combat stress and its related mental health disorders have on the lives of returning soldiers. The Committee encourages the Center for Faith-Based and Community Initiatives [CFBCI] and the Centers of Excellence for Mental Health/PTSD, all VA entities, to work jointly in support of faith-based and community organizations assisting veterans diagnosed with mental health disorders. MEDICAL CARE COST RECOVERY COLLECTIONS MEDICAL CARE COLLECTION FUND Appropriations, 2006.................................... $2,170,000,000 Budget estimate, 2007................................... 2,329,000,000 House allowance......................................... 2,329,000,000 Committee recommendation................................ 2,329,000,000 MEDICAL CARE COLLECTION FUND--REVENUES APPLIED Appropriations, 2006.................................... $2,170,000,000 Budget estimate, 2007................................... 2,329,000,000 House allowance......................................... 2,329,000,000 Committee recommendation................................ 2,329,000,000 PROGRAM DESCRIPTION The Medical Care Collection Fund [MCCF] was established by the Balanced budget Act of 1997 (Public Law 105-33). In fiscal year 2004, Public Law 108-199 allowed the Department of Veterans Affairs to deposit first-party and pharmacy co- payments; third-party insurance payments and enhanced use collections; long-term care co-payments; Compensated Work Therapy Program collections; and Parking Program fees into the MCCF. The Secretary of Veterans Affairs has the authority to transfer funds between the MCCF and the medical services appropriation, and medical facilities appropriation. COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION The Committee recommendation includes the authority to retain co-payments and third-party collections, estimated to total $2,329,000,000 in fiscal year 2007. National Cemetery Administration Appropriations, 2006 \1\ (including supplemental)....... $156,647,000 Budget estimate, 2007 \1\............................... 160,733,000 House allowance \1\..................................... 160,733,000 Committee recommendation \1\............................ 160,733,000 \1\ Previously included in Departmental Administration. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- PROGRAM DESCRIPTION The National Cemetery Administration was established in accordance with Public Law 93-94, the National Cemeteries Act of 1973. It has a four-fold mission: To provide for the interment in any national cemetery of the remains of eligible deceased servicepersons and discharged veterans, together with their spouses and certain dependents, and permanently to maintain their graves; to provide headstones for, and to mark graves of eligible persons in national, State, and private cemeteries; to administer the grant program for aid to States in establishing, expanding, or improving State veterans' cemeteries; and to administer the Presidential Memorial Certificate Program. There are a total of 158 cemeterial installations in 39 States, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. The Committee's recommendation for the National Cemetery Administration provides funds for all of these cemeterial installations. COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION The Committee recommends $160,733,000 for the ``National Cemetery Administration''. This is an increase of $4,086,000 over the fiscal year 2006 enacted level and the same as the budget request. Pikes Peak Region and El Paso County, Colorado.--The Pikes Peak region and El Paso County, Colorado, have 125,000 veterans. There is no national veterans' cemetery in this region of the State. The Committee encourages the Department of Veterans Affairs to consider establishing a veterans' cemetery in the Pikes Peak region of Colorado.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION The Committee recommends $1,467,764,000 for ``General operating expenses''. This amount is $32,373,000 above the fiscal year 2006 enacted level, including supplemental funds, and $13,000,000 below the budget request. Franchise Fund.--The Franchise Fund was established in 1997 as a pilot program and made permanent in fiscal year 2006 under Public Law 109-114. The Committee directs the Department to provide a report on the Franchise Fund's business plan for fiscal year 2007. This plan should include a list of services, customers, overhead expenses, funds collected for services, and the unobligated balance from the previous fiscal year. The VA shall submit this report to the Committees on Appropriations in both Houses of Congress no later than 60 days following enactment of this act. Procurement Contracting.--There are possible opportunities for the Department to save funds by procuring supplies and equipment from vendors not on the General Services Administration [GSA] schedule. Therefore, when purchasing these items, the Committee urges the Department to review proposals from companies both on and off the GSA schedule and make decisions based on best value. OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL Appropriations, 2006.................................... $70,174,000 Budget estimate, 2007................................... 69,499,000 House allowance......................................... 69,499,000 Committee recommendation................................ 70,599,000 PROGRAM DESCRIPTION The Office of Inspector General was established by the Inspector General Act of the 1978 and is responsible for the audit and investigation and inspections of all Department of Veterans Affairs programs and operations. COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION The Committee recommends $70,599,000 for the ``Office of Inspector General''. This is $425,000 above the fiscal year 2006 enacted level and $1,100,000 above the budget request. The recommended amount includes $1,100,000 from the ``Information technology systems'' account for IT systems unique to the Office of Inspector General. CONSTRUCTION, MAJOR PROJECTS Appropriations, 2006 (including supplementals).......... $1,560,519,000 Budget estimate, 2007................................... 399,000,000 House allowance......................................... 283,670,000 Committee recommendation................................ 429,000,000 PROGRAM DESCRIPTION The ``Construction, major projects'' account provides for constructing, altering, extending, and improving any of the facilities (including parking projects) under the jurisdiction or for the use of the VA, including planning, architectural and engineering services, Capital Asset Realignment Enhanced Services [CARES] activities, assessment, and site acquisition where the estimated cost of a project is more than the amount set forth in 38 U.S.C. section 8104(a)(3)(A). Proceeds realized from Enhanced Use Lease activities may be deposited into the ``Construction, major projects'' and ``Construction, minor projects'' accounts. COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION The Committee recommends an appropriation of $429,000,000 for the construction of major projects. This is $1,131,519,000 below the fiscal year 2006 enacted level, including supplemental funds for construction related to Hurricane Katrina, and $30,000,000 above the budget request. The following table compares the Committee recommendation with the budget request.

Major Construction Planning.--The Committee is concerned about the large number of major construction projects underway. There are numerous projects in various stages of completion that need additional funding. There are other projects with full funding that are behind schedule. The Department has now requested additional project funds to begin new projects. While the Committee understands the schedule timelines for large construction projects, the Department's request for only $399,000,000 this year is not consistent with its stated construction schedule priority processes. Therefore, the Department is directed to submit a report to the Committees on Appropriations in both Houses of Congress by April 1, 2007, on the Department's entire construction program. This report shall contain a list of all projects that have received funding in this and previous appropriations acts, specifying total project cost, scheduled completion date, reason for delay, if applicable, and additional funding needed. Orlando, Florida, Medical Care Facility.--In 2004, Congress appropriated $25,000,000 for a medical care facility at Orlando, Florida. Since then, VA has made no progress on the design and construction of this hospital. The Committee directs the Department to submit a report to the Committees on Appropriations in both Houses of Congress no later than 60 days following enactment of this act, on the status of the Orlando, Florida, medical care facility project and the reason for the delay in construction. Beckley, West Virginia, Nursing Home.--The Committee urges the Department of Veterans Affairs to include $28,500,000 in the President's fiscal year 2008 budget request for the construction of a 90-bed nursing home and adult day care center at the Beckley Veterans Affairs Medical Center, which was listed in the VA's February 2005 Five-Year Capital Plan, 2005- 2010. Martinsburg, West Virginia, Veterans Affairs Medical Center.--The Committee urges the Department of Veterans Affairs to include an amount of $3,560,000 in the President's fiscal year 2008 budget request for planning and design work associated with the renovation and expansion of the primary, mental health, and specialty outpatient care at the Martinsburg Veterans Affairs Medical Center, which was listed in the VA's February 2005 Five-Year Capital Plan, 2005-2010. Relocation of PTSD Program.--Last year, the VA Pacific Islands Health Care System [PIHCS] relocated the Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Residential Rehabilitation Program from Hilo to temporary space at the Tripler Army Medical Center campus in Honolulu, Hawaii. The relocation was intended to consolidate and expand existing resources into a single location to allow VA PICHS to treat patients with chronic PTSD and acute PTSD, including OEF/OIF veterans. However, the temporary space in which the program is currently located is inadequate. The Committee understands that a permanent relocation project is included in the list of VA potential construction projects for fiscal year 2007. The Committee encourages VA to find a permanent facility in which to house the PTSD Residential Rehabilitation Program. West Los Angeles, California Veterans Affairs Medical Center.--The Committee includes a provision which directs the Secretary of the Department of Veterans Affairs to submit a report on the Master Plan for the West Los Angeles Veterans Affairs Medical Center and its land. The Committee understands that this report was mandated as part of Public Law 105-368, yet the Department has not produced the report. Therefore, the Committee has included similar language as the original requirement. Further, the Committee has included a section requiring the VA to allow 120 days after submission of the report to the Committees on Appropriations before implementing any recommendations made within the report. Additionally, any recommendation which does not provide direct services for veterans requires approval of the Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress before implementation. Nothing contained within the provision shall be construed to prevent the Department of Veterans Affairs from providing maintenance, services, or programs consistent with the mission of the VA. CONSTRUCTION, MINOR PROJECTS Appropriations, 2006 (including supplemental)........... $200,737,000 Budget estimate, 2007................................... 198,000,000 House allowance......................................... 210,000,000 Committee recommendation................................ 168,000,000 PROGRAM DESCRIPTION The ``Construction, minor projects'' account provides for constructing, altering, extending, and improving any of the facilities (including parking) under the jurisdiction or for the use of the VA, including planning, CARES activities, assessment of needs, architectural and engineering services, and site acquisition, where the estimated cost of a project is equal to or less than the amount set forth in 38 U.S.C. section 8104(a)(3)(4). Public Law 106-117, the Veterans Millennium Health Care and Benefits Act of 1999, gave the VA the authority to make capital contributions from minor construction in enhanced-use leases. Proceeds realized from enhanced-use lease activities may be deposited into the ``Construction, major projects'' and ``Construction, minor projects'' accounts. COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION The Committee recommends $168,000,000 for minor construction. This is $32,737,000 below the fiscal year 2006 enacted level, including supplemental funds, and $30,000,000 below the budget request. GRANTS FOR CONSTRUCTION OF STATE EXTENDED CARE FACILITIES Appropriations, 2006.................................... $85,000,000 Budget estimate, 2007................................... 85,000,000 House allowance......................................... 105,000,000 Committee recommendation................................ 85,000,000 PROGRAM DESCRIPTION This account is used to provide grants to assist States in acquiring or constructing State home facilities for furnishing domiciliary or nursing home care to veterans, and to expand, remodel or alter existing buildings for furnishing domiciliary, nursing home, or hospital care to veterans in State homes. The grant may not exceed 65 percent of the total cost of the project. Public Law 102-585 granted permanent authority for this program, and Public Law 106-117 provided greater specificity in directing VA to prescribe regulations for the number of beds for which grant assistance may be furnished. This program has been a successful partnership between the States and the VA in meeting the long-term care needs of elderly veterans for decades. COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION The Committee recommends $85,000,000 for ``Grants for the construction of State extended care facilities''. This is the same as the fiscal year 2006 enacted level and equal to the budget request. This program cost-effectively meets long-term healthcare needs of veterans. Life and Safety Requirements.--The Committee is extremely concerned about the existing State veterans nursing homes cited in violation of structural conditions which threaten the life and safety of its residents. The VA has the responsibility to provide Federal assistance to correct these life and safety violations to the best interests and care of our veterans. Therefore, the Department shall report to the Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress no later than 60 days after enactment of this act on its plan to rectify these critical life safety issues. GRANTS FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF STATE VETERANS CEMETERIES Appropriations, 2006.................................... $32,000,000 Budget estimate, 2007................................... 32,000,000 House allowance......................................... 32,000,000 Committee recommendation................................ 32,000,000 PROGRAM DESCRIPTION Public Law 105-368, amended title 38 U.S.C. section 2408, established authority to provide aid to States for establishment, expansion, and improvement of State veterans cemeteries which are operated and permanently maintained by the States. This statutory change increased the maximum Federal share from 50 percent to 100 percent in order to fund construction costs and the initial equipment expenses when the cemetery is established. The States remain responsible for providing the land and for paying all costs related to the operation and maintenance of the State cemeteries, including the costs for subsequent equipment purchases. COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION The Committee recommends $32,000,000 for ``Grants for the construction of State veterans cemeteries''. This is the same as the fiscal year 2006 enacted level and equal to the budget request. INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SYSTEMS Appropriations, 2006.................................... $1,213,820,000 Budget estimate, 2007................................... 1,257,000,000 House allowance......................................... 1,302,330,000 Committee recommendation................................ 1,255,900,000 PROGRAM DESCRIPTION The Information Technology Systems account was established in Public Law 109-114. The account encompasses the entire non- pay information technology portfolio for the Department of Veterans Affairs, including all automation efforts in all administrations. COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION The Committee recommends $1,255,900,000 for ``Information technology systems'' [IT]. This amount is $42,080,000 above the fiscal year 2006 enacted level and $1,100,000 below the budget request. The recommended amount reflects a decrease of $1,100,000 which is transferred to the Office of Inspector General for information technology systems. Personnel Cost.--When the personnel associated cost for IT maintenance and operations support is moved under the purview of the CIO, the Department may elect to move funding under such a heading to this ``Information technology systems'' account. Information Security.-- The Committee is deeply concerned with the vulnerabilities in the VA's information technology and security system which leaves our veterans' personal data information at high risk for fraud and identity theft. For the past 4 years, the Inspector General cited in his reports the ``VA's systems remain vulnerable to unauthorized access and misuse of sensitive information and data,'' yet the VA did not take positive steps to rectify this. As the second largest department in the Federal Government, the VA is responsible to maintain and protect the data for millions of veterans' personal, financial, and medical data information. The VA cannot continue to operate with an information security program which does not secure its veterans' data information. The Committee directs the VA to report to the Committees on Appropriations in both Houses of Congress no later than December 30, 2006, on the measures the VA is taking to secure its database from employee downloading or copying sensitive information. Information Technology System Reorganization.--In fiscal year 2006, the Committees directed the Secretary of the VA to reorganize the program office's information technology systems into one office with the authority to manage the entire IT portfolio. The congressional intent for the VA IT reorganization was to produce a coordinated, systematic, and efficient information technology portfolio management system. The Committee directs the VA to provide a report to the Committees on Appropriations in both Houses of Congress within 60 days following the enactment of this act, on the current status of funds and the related progress on organizing this IT oversight program. E-Gov Initiatives.--This bill does not contain any funding for the E-Gov initiatives as specified in the administration's request. The Committee is not convinced these initiatives add value to the Department of Veterans Affairs. From fiscal year 2005 to fiscal year 2006, the VA's E-Gov obligations increased by 60.31 percent. For fiscal year 2007, VA's E-Gov request increases by 5.93 percent over the fiscal year 2006 enacted level, from $10,768,000 to $11,407,000. The Committee is concerned the funds needed for this program are growing at an alarming rate, while the utility to the VA is taking the opposite track. Future budget request for E-Gov initiatives should include a detailed explanation of how they directly benefit the Department of Veterans Affairs. Financial and Logistics Integrated Technology Enterprise [FLITE].--The VA is at the beginning stages of developing its financial and logistics integrated technology enterprise [FLITE] system. The VA needs a comprehensive accounting and financial management system as mandated by the Chief Financial Officers Act of 1990. The Committee is pleased to see the VA is approaching FLITE in incremental steps and is more vigilant over cost and performance by contractors. The Committee expects the VA to benefit from lessons learned by the preceding project. It is imperative the VA has complete oversight of a contractor's work and enforces any requirements if the contractor fails to deliver in a timely and cost effective manner. In the final stages of development, the VA must provide quality training to its employees if it expects quality outcome delivered from this system. The Committee directs the VA to submit a semi-annual progress report on FLITE to the Committees on Appropriations in both Houses of Congress until this project reaches completion. Automated Collateral Management System.--The Committee encourages the Department to consider implementing a national automated collateral management/appraisal management system. Such a system would greatly increase the efficiency of loan origination appraisals. Regional Data Center Consolidation.--The VA is undergoing a regional data center consolidation effort to decrease maintenance cost on their key applications. The VISN headquarters in Jackson, Mississippi, is an ideal location for a regional center. As the VA continues to evaluate locations for these centers, the Committee recommends Jackson, Mississippi, be included as a possible location. Administrative Provisions Sec. 201.

TITLE III RELATED AGENCIES AMERICAN BATTLE MONUMENTS COMMISSION Program Description The American Battle Monuments Commission [ABMC] is responsible for the following: the maintenance and construction of U.S. monuments and memorials commemorating the achievements in battle of our Armed Forces since April 1917 (the date of the United States entry into World War I); the erection of monuments and markers by U.S. citizens and organizations in foreign countries; and the design, construction, and maintenance of permanent military cemetery memorials in foreign countries. The Commission maintains 24 military memorial cemeteries and 25 monuments, memorials, and markers in 15 countries around the world, including three memorials on U.S. soil. It is presently charged with erecting an Interpretive Center at the Normandy American Cemetery, Normandy, France. Salaries and Expenses Appropriations, 2006.................................... $35,888,000 Budget estimate, 2007................................... 35,838,000 House allowance......................................... 37,088,000 Committee recommendation................................ 37,088,000 COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION The Committee recommends $37,088,000 for the ``Salaries and expenses'' account. This amount is $1,200,000 above the fiscal year 2006 enacted level and $1,250,000 above the budget request. Normandy Interpretive Center.--Within this amount, the Committee recommends funding for initial staffing of guides, security and maintenance personnel for the Center. Public Law 107-73 funded the design of an Interpretive Center at the American Cemetery in Normandy, France. The Center will tell the story of the 9,386 American soldiers buried and 1,557 missing in action at Normandy. Groundbreaking was held on August 28, 2004, with the official opening scheduled for June 6, 2007. Point du Hoc.--The Committee fully supports the Commission's effort to preserve the World War II Ranger Monument located at Point du Hoc. This monument is a tribute to sacrifices made by the Army Rangers during the D-Day invasion at Normandy, France, and must be preserved as a reminder to the world of what happened that day. The Committee understands the sensitive nature of this project and has included funds to ensure the Commission has sufficient resources to accomplish this mission. The bill does not include funds for payments to the State Department's Capital Security Cost Sharing Program. Foreign Currency Fluctuations Appropriations, 2006.................................... $15,098,000 Budget estimate, 2007................................... 4,900,000 House allowance......................................... 4,900,000 Committee recommendation................................ 4,900,000 COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION The Committee recommends $4,900,000 for the ``Foreign currency fluctuation'' account. This amount is $10,198,000 below the fiscal year 2006 enacted level and equal to the budget request. The Committee has provided these funds due to unanticipated currency fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and the euro to meet the increased operating needs of its sites in Europe. U.S. COURT OF APPEALS FOR VETERANS CLAIMS Program Description The U.S. Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims was established by the Veterans' Judicial Review Act of 1988. The Court is an independent judicial tribunal with exclusive jurisdiction to review decisions of the Board of Veterans' Appeals. It has the authority to decide all relevant questions of law; interpret constitutional, statutory, and regulatory provisions; and determine the meaning or applicability of the terms of an action by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs. It is authorized to compel action by the Secretary. It is authorized to hold unconstitutional or otherwise unlawful and set aside decisions, findings, conclusions, rules and regulations issued or adopted by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs, the Board of Veterans' Appeals, or the Chairman of the Board that are found to be arbitrary or capricious.
