THE BILL The purpose of this bill is to make appropriations for the military functions of the Department of Defense for the period October 1, 1981 through September 30, 1982. Functional areas include the pay, al- lowances and support of military personnel, operation and maintenance of the forces, procurement of equipment and systems, and research, development, test and evaluation. Appropriations for military assistance, military construction, family housing and civil defense are provided in other bills. HEARINGS The Subcommittee on Department of Defense Appropriations began hearings on the fiscal year 1982 budget request on March 9, 1981, and concluded them on October 28, 1981, after 32 separate sessions. The subcommittee heard testimony from representatives of the Department of Defense, other Federal agencies, and from the general public. Ap- proximately 8,000 pages of transcript were taken, the unclassified por- tions of which constitute the six-volume public record of testimony on this budget request. SUMMARY OF BmL The Committee considered a total fiscal year 1982 budget request of $200,878,234,000 for the military functions of the Department of De- fense, excluding military assistance, military construction, family hous- ing and civil defense.

The first amendment was submitted on March 10, 1981 (printed as H. Doc. 97-29). This amendment requested an additional $25.1 billion in new budget authority above the original fiscal year 1982 request. These additional funds were requested to finance a significant expansion in the military budget with emphasis on readiness and modernization. The second major budget amendment was submitted to the Congress on October 15, 1981 (printed as H. Doc. 97-101). This amendment reduced $7.29 billion from the request . The Committee considered both of these budget amendments and three smaller amendments along with the original fiscal year 1982 re- quest Distribution of organizational com- ponent: Army ............................................ Navy ............................................. Air Force .................................... 'r Defense agencies/OSD ............ Retired military personnel........ Related agencies ....................... Traditionally, the Senate awaits House initiation and passage of ap- propriation bills before acting on them in Committee. This session, how- ever, a combination of circumstances forced the Committee to begin its markup of a bill in advance of final House action. Although the 1982 fiscal year began on October 1, the House Appro- priations Committee was not able to begin making its recommendations and reporting a bill until November. Late-running budget amendments and the President's decision on a strategic defense policy in October were major factors in preventing earlier action. With time running out on the 1981 session, and confronted with a rapidly approaching November 20 deadline on a continuing resolution providing stop-gap funding authority, the Committee felt impelled to begin its own markup even before final House Appropriations Com- mittee recommendations were available. By necessity, the accompanying bill is reported in advance of House passage of a Defense appro- priations bill. Accordingly, overall House allowances in the report are based on Committee recommendations in that body, not final allowances. For this reason the Committee did not include individual account and pro- gram totals within the report and cautions that all House figures that were used were tentative by nature.

As previously noted, the total fiscal year 1982 budget request con- sidered by the Committee was $200,878,234,000. Of this amount, $130,567,451,000 or 65 percent required authorization.

A new general provision which states that, funds available to the Department of Defense during the current fiscal year shall be available to establish a, program to provide child advocacy and family counseling services to deal with problems of child and spouse abuse 6. A modification of language in section 742 which states that (e) sur- gery which improves physical appearance but which is not expected to significantly restore functions including, but not limited to, mammary aug- mentation, face lifts and sex gender changes except that breast recon- structive surgery following mastectomy and reconstructive surgery to correct serious deformities caused by congenital anomalies, accidental injuries and neoplastic surgery are not excluded; and (g) any service or supply which is not medically or psychologically necessary to prevent, diagnose, or treat a mental or physical illness, injury, or bodily mal- function as assessed or diagnosed by a physician, dentist, clinical psy- chologist, optometrist, podiatrist, certified nurse-midwife, certified nurse practitioner, or for the purpose of conducting a test during fiscal year 1982, by a certified clinical social worker, as appropriate, except as authorized by section 1079(a)(4) of title 10, United States Code. The creation of the rapid deployment joint task force (RDJTF) was an important step in revitalizing U.S. force projection capabilities. Given the importance of the Persian Gulf Region, the efforts of the RDJTF have been formally directed to that region. The Committee is concerned, however, about the absence of an organized effort to plan and provide for possible power projection requirements in other parts of the world which are also critical to U.S. interests, including the Caribbean. The Committee is also concerned about the present com- mand and control relationships of the RDJTF with the National Com- mand Authority as well as the joint nature of the task force. The Committee views with favor the Secretary of Defense's an- nouncement on April 24, 1981, that the RDJTF should evolve within several years into a separate unified command with its own geographic responsibilities, service components, forces, intelligence, communica- tions, logistics facilities and other support elements. While the creation of a separate unified command in the future may solve current de- ficiencies, the Committee remains concerned about what command and control relationships will apply in the interim. V To date, the joint task force nature of the present RDJTF has failed to create both plans and organization necessary to meet the threats which the United States may face in Third World areas throughout the 1980's. However, the Committee notes that the traditional role of the U.S. Marine Corps and its current force structure have been designed as one appropriate to quick response to crises around the world. The Committee, therefore, strongly suggests that the Secretary of Defense to designate the U.S. Marine Corps as the lead service for command and planning of the RDJTF missions. It is the belief of the Committee that the Marine Corps with Navy support is most capable of Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M00610R000100040015-6 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M00610R000100040015-6 meeting the missions of the RDJTF. The Secretary of Defense should provide the Marine Corps and the Navy with the equipment, logistical support, and authority necessary to meet their RDJTF mission. The Committee supports the need for increased defense spending to meet the threats to U.S. national security interests in the 1980's. The major increase in Soviet defense spending throughout the 1970's as well as Sovient adventurism in Africa, Asia, and Latin America pose a seri- ous threat to U.S. security interests throughout the world. The Committee is also committed to the reduction of overall Federal spending to meet the goals of a balanced budget as well as a sound economy. U.S. national security must be based on a strong economy. The Committee, therefore, views. with favor the efforts of the Depart- ment of Defense to combat waste, fraud, and abuse within the De- partment as well as to undertake efforts to make defense programs more efficient. The Congress has provided the Department of Defense with the nec- essary legislation to use multiyear funding where appropriate. The Com- mittee intends to recommend funds for multiyear funding in those programs where there is low technological risk and where cost savings can be realized. Further, the Department is urged to revise DOD Direc- tive 7200.4 to accommodate the new legislation providing authority for multiyear funding. It is the Committee's understanding that many of the reforms pro- posed by the Deputy Secretary of Defense can be implemented inter- nally within the Department. The Committee urges the Department to implement these reforms as quickly as possible including, but not limited to, increased use of firm-fixed price contracting, increased use of past performance in source selection, greater competition in both R. & D. and procurement stages of programs, and increased R. & D. funding and competition at the lower-tiered producer level. The Committee is also concerned about the high cost of new pro- grams and directs the Department to provide to the Committee a design-to-cost analysis for all new procurement items. While U.S. strength lies in its technology, the use of high technology can result in cost inefficiency when inappropriately utilized. The Committee also directs the Secretary of Defense to report to the Committee by March 1, 1982, what steps have been implemented in the Department of Defense to provide for increased efficiency in R. & D. and procurement. The Committee further directs the Secretary to report what proposals requiring congressional action would provide for in- creased efficiency. The Committee has carefully analyzed inflationary trends in the na- tionat economy, particularly as they apply to defense activities and pur- chases. Two points became vividly clear: the rate of inflation is not slowing to the degree projected in the President's budget, and inflation in defense activities and purchases continues to exceed by a substantial margin the national average. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M00610R000100040015-6 Approved For- Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89MOO61 OR0001 00040015-6 Although the budget anticipated an inflation rate of 8.7 percent for fiscal year 1981, the final composite figure was actually 13.3 percent. And there is no evidence yet that this rate has slowed markedly. These developments make it painfully apparent that the optimistic 8.4-percent inflation rate projection contained in the President's Septem- ber budget revisions is not attainable. The impact of badly underestimating inflation is severe. It will cut back fiscal year 1981 program levels by more than $2 billion, and the impact in fiscal year 1982 will be much the same if steps are not taken now to finance a more realistic rate. It should be noted parenthentically that the Committee foresaw this problem in its recommendations for supplemental appropriations in fiscal year 1981. Increased funding to minimize the erosion of inflation on the defense budget was recom- mended, but only a portion of that increase was finally accepted. Based on its analysis, the Committee is recommending an increase above the President's budget and above the authorization levels for fis- cal year 1982 totaling $1.6 billion, which is the amount needed to finance a 10-percent inflation rate. Even this projection is considered moderate, but it at least presents a more realistic approach to the economic realities confronting the Nation. This increase has been allocated as follows: Operation and maintenance .................................................................................. $525,000,000 Procurement .............................................................................................................. 887,000,000 Research, development, test and evaluation ...................................................... 197,000,000 These amounts in turn have been allocated among the various ap- propriation accounts for the services and defense agencies, and the Committee will expect the Department of Defense to report back on how these additions have been distributed among the various principal activities. The Committee is recommending a departure from tradition and including in the bill the funding necessary to support the military pay raises authorized earlier this year in Public Law 97-60, the Uniformed Services Pay Act of 1981. This unusual step is recommended because the regular Defense appropriation bill for fiscal year 1982 is being taken up so late in the session, more than 6 weeks into the new fiscal year. The recommendation also recognizes that, whenever possible, full fund- ing should be addressed in the regular appropriation bill and not de- ferred needlessly to a future session of Congress. It is the Committee's belief that, to the maximum extent possible, the full costs of the rapidly expanding defense budget should be clearly dis- played. Further, full funding of pay costs, including the October 1, 1981, increases, assures that program levels will not be degraded by a continuing need to absorb pay costs. The total increase recommended for these pay costs is $4.8 billion.

These guidelines include various thresholds on which the Department can shift funds within programs and appropriation accounts with only a simple notification to the congressional committees of jurisdiction. Beyond those thresholds, prior Committee approval in writing is required before any such transfers or reprogramings can occur. The Committee is aware that these thresholds have not changed in 18 years and that inflation has overtaken them. It is not the Committee's intent to encourage reprogramings and transfers, but it recognizes that a reasonable degree of flexibility is beneficial and economical so long as adequate congressional oversite is not impared. However, the threshold increases recommended to the Committee by the Department appear excessive. In each case they increase the current limitation five times over. The Committee instead is recommending a more moderate increase in the thresholds which are summarized in the following table: REPROGRAMING THRESHOLDS [In millions of dollars] Military personnel .........................................................

Rept. 93-622), the Committee directed the Department of Defense to utilize the available reprograming flexibility in order to meet unantici- pated. or higher than programed funding requirements. For fiscal year 1981 the Committee considered 50 reprogramings with a total dollar value of $936.9 million. Forty-four of these reprogramings were ap- proved by the Congress either in whole or in part. The total amount ap- proved was $789.1 million. A statistical summary of these reprograming actions during the last decade is shown below: DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE REPROGRAMINGS [Dollars in millions] Value of program Number of increase actions proposals Fiscal year: 1970 .......................................................................................... 129 2,431 1971 .......................................................................................... 132 3,266 1972 .......................................................................................... 82 1,866 1973 .......................................................................................... 56 1,453 1974 .......................................................................................... 24 219 1975 .......................................................................................... 45 1,446 1976 (and transition quarter) ................................................. 43 791 1977 .......................................................................................... 55 1,036 1978 .......................................................................................... 66 1,237 1979 .......................................................................................... 60 1,163 1980 .......................................................................................... 71 1,217 1981 .......................................................................................... 50 937 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M00610R00010004001I1 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040015-6 RELATIONSHIP WITH BUDGET OFFICES The Committee appreciates, as always, the assistance provided by all organizations of the Department of Defense in the Committee's review of the vast amount of material used to justify the Defense budget. The role of the Comptroller organizations of the Office of the Secretary of Defense, and of each military department, is especially noteworthy. Be- cause of their intimate involvement with the preparation and execution of the budget, these offices are in a position to satisfy Committee re- quirements in a professional and timely manner. These. offices provide the Committee a wide spectrum of services ranging from providing information sheets on individual issues to making complete arrange- ments for hearings and processing the transcripts of these hearings. The primary interface of the Appropriations Committee and the De- partment necessarily must be through the Comptroller organizations and their budget offices, although the Committee reserves its right to call upon all organizations of the Defense establishment for assistance. The relationship of the Appropriations Committee and the DOD Comptroller network has been well-established through the years and this relationship must continue. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M00610R000100040015-6 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M00610R000100040015-6 MILITARY PERSONNEL Funds appropriated under this title provide for the pay, allowances, subsistence, permanent change of station. travel, and various other en- titlements of the uniformed members of our Armed Forces. The level of active duty military personnel requested in the President's fiscal year 1982 budget is 25,700 above the actual for the end of fiscal year 1981, while the average strength of the Reserve components requested by the administration is 41,800 above the fiscal year 1981 level. Pay and allowances-A total of $30.1 billion is requested for the pay and other entitlements of active duty officers, enlisted personnel and cadets at the military academies. This includes basic pay, special and in- centive pays, quarters, uniform and subsistence-except in the case of enlisted personnel-allowances, separation allowances, the U.S. Govern- ment's contribution to the social security fund and other applicable allowances. This function also includes enlistment and reenlistment bonuses in the case of enlisted personnel. Subsistence of enlisted personnel-This activity reflects the cost of feeding enlisted personnel, either for food served in dining halls-sub- sistence-in-kind-or in the form of cash allowances for those members authorized to subsist elsewhere. A total of $2.2 billion is requested for this activity in fiscal year 1982. Permanent change of station travel (PCS).-The $2.8 billion requested for this activity in fiscal year 1982 supports the rotation of military per- sonnel between permanent duty stations. It covers the cost of travel of the member and his dependents, either by commercial or organic means, per diem allowances at prescribed rates, transportation and non- temporary storage of household goods, and other related costs. Other military personnel costs-The $12.9 million requested for this activity provides funds for the apprehension of military deserters, ab- sentees, and escaped military prisoners; and for the payment of death gratuities to beneficiaries of deceased military personnel. Guard and Reserve paid drill and initial training.-The $2.4 billion re- quested for this activity includes the costs of the Selected Reserve, mem- bers of which attend prescribed numbers of inactive duty training as- semblies, ranging from 24 to 48 drill periods per year, as well as 2 weeks active duty for training annually. Other training and support.-This activity, budgeted at $1 billion, sup- ports school and special training for Reservists, administration and sup- port of Guard and Reserve units, and the costs of those members of the individual Ready Reserve who perform only 2 weeks active duty for training each year. This activity also includes the costs to support per- sonnel undergoing training through the Reserve Officers Training Corps (13) Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040015-6 and the health professions scholarship program to become commis- sioned officers of the Armed Forces.

This amount is $4,567,913,000 above the budget request. Explanation of the Committee's actions can be found in the following pages. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040015-6 MILITARY STRENGTH ADJUSTMENTS For the Active Forces, military manpower is authorized each year in terms of end strength, while for the Reserve components the annual authorization is in terms of average strength. The fiscal year 1982 De- fense Authorization Act increased the authorization of the Active Forces by 27,744, over the fiscal year 1981 level, and raised the average strength of the reserve forces by 64,700. The table below summarizes the adjustments in the fiscal year 1982 authorization to the Services manpower requests: AUTHORIZED MILITARY STRENGTHS FOR FISCAL YEAR 1982 Authorization Change Budget conference from request report budget Active Forces: Army ........................................................... 780,300 780,300...................... Navy ........................................................... 554,700 554,600 -100 Marine Corps ............................................ 192,100 192,100......................

The military personnel budget requests are driven primarily by the average strength, or man-year programs, which the services estimate are required to meet their end strength goals. The end strength goal, how- ever, does not automatically dictate a specific man-year program. Estimates for accession planning, attrition and retirements, for example, must be considered in establishing the total man-year program neces- sary to meet the authorized end strength. AcTivE FoRCEs For the Active Forces, the Committee recommends appropriations totaling $39,389,455,000. This is $4,168,975,000 above the budget re- quest. Military manpower and pay adjustments.-The revised Department of Defense fiscal year 1982 budget request reflecting strategic program changes adjusted the manpower and pay of the active Army and Air Force. As regards the former, military end strength for fiscal year 1982 will be held to 780,300, a 6,000 reduction from the original budget re- quest. This action, together with earlier payment of selective reenlist- ment bonuses, has resulted in a net reduction of $52.2 million from the Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M00610R000100040015-6 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M00610R000100040015-6 original budget request. The Air Force has adjusted its budget request by a $116 million reduction. Its projected end strength has likewise de- creased 6,000 for a total of 580,800. Additionally, savings in the areas of overseas station allowances, permanent change of station moves, and basic allowance for quarters have been made. In another effort to improve military compensation levels and redress personnel shortages throughout the services, Congress passed the Uni- formed Services Pay and Benefits Act of 1981, Public Law 97-60. The purpose of this bill is to increase the pay, allowances, and benefits for members of the military services and certain dependents. The legislation provides for variable increases in the basic pay and allowances for mem- bers, depending on grade and years of service. It also authorizes in- creases in the amounts payable, establishes new authority or modifies ex- isting authority for flight pay, diving duty pay, enlistment bonuses, bonuses for nuclear-qualified officers, hazardous duty pay, and al- lowances for Armed Forces health professions scholarship program par- ticipants. Additionally, the bill provides new authority for temporary lodging entitlements, advance payment of certain travel expenses in- curred in conjuction with permanent change of station moves, travel al- lowances for military members and dependents stationed at certain ad- verse overseas locations or in conjunction with certain emergencies, and it establishes certain limitations on travel and transportation entitle- ments for members separating or being released from active duty. Finally, the bill increases the number of senior Reserve Officers' Train- ing Corps (ROTC) scholarships for the Navy and Air Force, provides extended and increased authority for reimbursement of military mem- bers for alternate quarters when ship-board quarters are uninhabitable, and makes several amendments to enhance the administration of military justice. It is estimated by the Department of Defense that the Uniformed Services Pay and Benefits Act of 1981 requires the following funding for both entitlements and discretionary pay: Military pay raise.-Basic allowance for subsistence (BAS), basic al- lowance for quarters (BAQ), and officer basic pay is increased by 14.3 percent. Enlisted basic pay increases from 10 to 17 percent. Cadet and midshipmen pay is increased 10 percent. Cost: $4,561,147,000. Hazardous duty pay.-Authority is provided for a new special pay for individuals engaged in especially hazardous duties or exposed to severe working conditions (for example, Titan missile fuel handlers). Officers will receive $110 per month; enlisted personnel will receive $83 per month. Enlisted pay for existing categories of hazardous duty such as flight pay is raised to $83 per month. Air weapons controller incentive pay is raised to $125 to $350 per month. Cost: $24,007,000. Aviation career incentive pay.-Officers with over 6 years of aviation service will receive $306 to $400 per month. Payment to officers with more than 25 years of service is allowed. Warrant officer pay rates are increased to the same rates as those of commissioned officers. Moreover, officers receiving the aviation officer continuation bonus are not authorized to receive increased flight pay. The bonus is not Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M00610R000100040015-6 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040015-6 authorized in fiscal year 1982 for Air Force officers; authorization for Navy and Marine Corps aviators terminates at the end of fiscal year 1982. Cost: $57,293,000. Submarine duty incentive pay.-This pay is increased for those of- ficers who have served enlisted duty, since this duty will no longer be counted toward total years of service in determining submarine, pay eligibility. Moreover, ballistic missile submarine crews on shore rotation will now be entitled to career sea pay. Cost: $7,200,000. Diving duty pay.-This is increased to a maximum $200 per month for officers and $300 per month for enlisted personnel. Additionally, persons receiving this pay are now entitled to receive one other type of hazardous duty incentive pay. Cost: $5,155,000. Enlistment and reenlistment bonuses.-The maximum enlistment bonus for active duty personnel in critical skills is raised from $5,000 to $8,000. A 2-year test program of a $4,000 bonus for 3-year enlistments of high school graduates in Army critical skills is also authorized. Additionally, any unserved period of an enlistment for which no reen- listment bonus has been paid may be considered part of an immediately subsequent term of reenlistment for the purpose of computing reenlist- ment bonuses. Cost: $75,689,000. Nuclear officer bonuses.-A $8,000 bonus is now offered to nuclear qualified officers serving under an agreement executed prior to the new bonus provisions enacted January 1, 1981. Additionally, a $3,000 acces- sion bonus for surface nuclear power applicants is now authorized. Cost: $309,000. Engineering and scientific career continuation pay.-$3,000 per year is now authorized to engineering and scientific officers having 3 to 19 years of service. Cost: $3,700,000. Travel and transportation.-Reimbursement is authorized only when travel is actually performed. Any authorized travel and transportation benefit must be used within 180 days of separation or release from ac- tive duty. Savings: $14,197,000. Mileage allowance.-This is authorized for the shipment of vehicles in connection with a permanent change of station. Cost: $17,108,000. Temporary lodging allowance (TLA).-This is authorized for expenses incurred as a result of a permanent change of station move, not to exceed $110 per day for up to 4 days. This allowance is limited to 2 days within the continental United States when a member moves from the continental United States to overseas. Cost: $95,125,000. Basic allowance for quarters (BAQ) and variable housing allowance (VHA).-BAQ and VHA are authorized for those members deprived of shipboard quarters. Cost: $6,300,000. Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) scholarships.-These are in- creased to a maximum of 8,000 for the Navy and 9,500 for the Air Force. Cost: $659,000. The fiscal year 1982 budget request did not include any of the funds necessary to pay these new entitlements and discretionary pay. Never- theless, it is traditional that entitlements except the pay raise and certain discretionary pay-authorized after the budget request is submitted- are funded in an appropriations bill, with the pay raise funded via a supplemental budget appropriation. Indeed, the fiscal year 1981 appro- Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040015-6 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040015-6 priations bill funded the entitlements of the Nunn-Warner amendment and the fiscal year 1981 authorization bill-except the 11.7 percent pay raise. Discretionary pay not funded in the fiscal year 1981 appropria- tions bill was funded via subsequent reprograming or supplemental requests. The Committee recommends a change in the traditional method of funding new entitlements and discretionary pay. Because military per- sonnel pay entitlements are must pay items and because the Committee finds no disagreement with the discretionary pay authorized by the fis- cal year 1982 Defense Authorization Act, it recommends funding what the Department of Defense estimates to be the cost of the 1981 Uni- formed Services Pay and Benefits Act. In this way, the full impact of military personnel costs are able to be immediately recognized and the necessity of a military pay supplemental request is eliminated. Bachelor cost-of-living allowance (COLA).-Military members sta- tioned in high-cost overseas areas receive a COLA to compensate them for the difference between average living costs at overseas stations and average living costs in the continental United States. All military person- nel stationed in designated high-cost overseas areas receive the al- lowance except single members living on military bases. Payment of a COLA in the overseas areas of Alaska and Hawaii is authorized by Title 37, U.S.C. 45. Since fiscal year 1980, the Depart- ment of Defense has requested funding to begin paying a COLA to single enlisted personnel who live in Government quarters and are au- thorized to eat in Government dining facilities. This request is based on the knowledge that military members living on base incur many of the excess expenses their counterparts living on the economy incur. Car in- surance, dry cleaning, recreation, clothing, and transportation are only some of the items which must be purchased partially or wholly on the local economy. Hence, the provision of a partial COLA at a rate which is 47 percent that of military members without dependents would com- pensate single enlisted personnel for these costs, help alleviate the eco- nomic isolation of single enlistees, and insure a standard of living for single personnel which is equitable to that for married military mem- bers. Traditionally, the House has deleted funding for bachelor COLA. The rationale for the. House action has been that individuals targeted to receive this new allowance are provided all their basic amenities by the Government at no cost to themselves. The Committee disagrees with the House rationale. Accordingly, it recommends payment of the budg- et estimate of $26 million for bachelor COLA. Career basic allowance for subsistence (BAS).-Career BAS is an im- portant initiative targeted toward retaining career enlisted personnel in grades E-5 to E-9. The President's budget proposed giving each service the option of allowing its career enlisted force a basic allowance for sub- sistence in lieu of subsisting-in-kind. About 59,000 careerists are ex- pected to opt for this new allowance. Because the Committee recognizes the positive impact this program will have on enlisted morale, it recom- mends that the full $36 million budget request be appropriated. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M00610R000100040015-6 Permanent change of station (PCS).-The Committee recommends an $83.8 million reduction to the $2.8 billion budget request for PCS. The basis. of this reduction is threefold: (a) the President has endorsed an Office of Management and Budget initiative to reduce Government travel by $200 million through the implemenation of streamlined pro- cedures and greater use of commercial travel services. The Department of Defense share of this savings is approximately $130 million, of which at least $80 million is expected to be achieved in this fiscal year.. Accordingly, half of this amount will be taken out of the military personnel accounts; (b) rate increases for Industrial Fund charges and for anticipated inflation for Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) Land and International Through Government Bill of Lading (ITGBL) household goods shipments materialized at a lower than projected rate for the past fiscal year. Accordingly, the Committee recommends a reduction of $40.7 million. (c) Based on fiscal year 1981 experience, funds to transport mobile homes are overbudgeted by $4.9 million. Additionally, the Committee recommends that the number of PCS moves budgeted for in the fiscal year 1982 budget request be main- tained at that level. An across-the-board reduction in the number of PCS moves had been considered but was rejected based on the follow- ing rationale: approximately 84 percent of fiscal year 1982 permanent change of station moves are associated with accession, separation or rotation moves. The remaining 16 percent are related to training, opera- tion, and unit moves. Because the Department of Defense must move people entering and leaving the service, the number of these moves re- mains fixed. A reduction in rotation and unit moves necessarily implies increased tour lengths and curtailed training regimens. Moreover, opera- tional moves are required to provide needed career development assign- ments, to support weapons systems changes to accommodate unit activa- tions and inactivations, to correct grade and skill imbalances, and to meet Navy sea/shore rotation requirements. For these reasons, the Com- mittee has determined that a cut in PCS moves to save money will result in a concomitant reduction in readiness, training, and morale. Unbudgeted reimbursement for air traffic controllers.-Because of the air traffic controllers strike, the Federal Aviation Administration is cur- rently reimbursing the Department of Defense for the services of military air traffic controllers. Accordingly, the Committee recommends an increase in the amounts reimbursable to the various military person- nel accounts. Reenlistment bonuses.-The Committee recommends fully funding the budget request of $628.5 million for reenlistment bonuses. The pres- ent method of awarding a lump-sum payment at the time of a military member's reenlistment is far more preferable to this Committee than is an alternative installment method, even though the latter would save a substantial amount of money this fiscal year. The Committee is con- vinced that the lump-sum method has a greater positive impact on reen- listment rates than does the installment method. Indeed, the Depart- ment of Defense survey data have established that the same reenlist- ment behavior can be obtained from a lower lump-sum amount than from a higher amount paid in four installments. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M00610R000100040015-6 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M00610R000100040015-6 Foreign duty pay.-This special pay is paid to enlisted members resid- ing outside the contiguous United States in areas where many of the conventional living amenities are absent such as Diego Garcia, Alaska, and the Peoples Republic of China. Pay ranges from $8 to $22 per month and has not been revised since 1953. While the Committee con- sidered reducing this pay in an effort to pressure the Department of Defense to review its effectiveness, it has been determined that a severe reduction in this program would result in a negative impact on the morale of the 160,000 service members currently receiving foreign duty pay. Accordingly, the Committee expects the Department of Defense to review the necessity for and the effectiveness of foreign duty pay and to submit to the Committee a report on its recommendations no later than June 1, 1982. Subsistence.-For several years, the Committee has been concerned with Department of Defense management of food service programs, specifically in the accounting for meals and subsistence stocks in the military dining facilities. In response to this concern, the Defense Audit Service recommended in its May 1980 report the establishment of an automated headcount system to better control access to Department of Defense dining halls. In addition to correcting headcount and account- ing procedures, this automated system will be used to improve food ac- countability and control procedures. The Department outlined last year its incremental program to implement the recommendations of the Defense Audit Service. The primary emphasis of the program is on the use of a new plastic identification card which will establish diner eligi- bility for subsistence-in-kind (SIK) diners. At present, the Department of Defense plans to issue the new identification cards to active duty, retired, and dependent personnel during this fiscal year; issue should be complete by the end of fiscal year 1984. Use of the card and the automated system will prevent personnel from eating in several dining facilities during the same meal period and will identify those who return for additional servings within the same facility. Moreover, a special feature of the automated system will prevent the cashier from ringing up an SIK sale when the eligibility sig- nal on the cash register indicates the individual must pay for the meal. In conformance with last year's action, the Committee recommends against any cut to subsistence funding penalizing the Department of Defense for poor dining controls. Indeed, the Committee is encouraged by the Department's action in this area. It recognizes that substantial budget cuts in subsistence will most likely result in a request for reprograming since people will have to be fed and the Department is continuing its efforts to correct subsistence abuse. The Committee recommends a budget reduction in SIK funding, however, since food cost increases to date have not occurred to the ex- tent forecast in the fiscal year 1982 budget estimate. Appropriations ac- counts are reduced by $27.3 million. Overseas station allowances.-Likewise, the costs of living overseas did not rise to the level anticipated because of the increased strength of the dollar in relation to foreign currency. The Committee recommends that these allowances be reduced by $20.8 million. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M00610R000100040015-6 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040015-6 Variable housing allowance (VHA).-This entitlement is designed to compensate military personnel for the difference between actual hous- ing costs and the BAQ. VHA is authorized for members when the average cost of housing exceeds the BAQ by 15 percent or more. The Committee recommends full funding of the budget estimate of this en- titlement. It recognizes that Department of Defense believes this budget request to be too low based on last month's annual survey; additional funds for VHA, however, can be considered in a subsequent reprogram- ing request. Aviation officer continuation bonus.-The Committee recommends deletion of the $47 million request by the Air Force since the bonus is not authorized for fiscal year 1982. The Committee recommends fund- ing the Navy and Marine Corps bonus, however, since its authorization terminates at the end of this fiscal year. Like the Armed Services Committee, the Committee is concerned that the bonus has not been implemented as intended by Congress. It has not been targeted to those areas of critical need. Moreover, the Navy has disregarded the strong recommendations of the Appropri- ations Committee in its reprograming approval that the bonus award require a minimum 2-year commitment. The purpose of the recommen- dation was to prevent bonus recipients from aggrandizing their awards by signing up for numerous 1-year terms rather than a multiyear com- mitment. Since the bonus is based on basic pay, each annual renewal nets additional income. Most recent data from the Department of the Navy demonstrate that the overwhelming majority of aviators who signed up for only 1 year could have made longer commitments. Accordingly, these aviators can receive a higher bonus due to the recent 14.3 percent pay raise. The Committee therefore directs the Department of the Navy to eliminate the 1-year bonus option for both Navy and Marine Corps aviators. Funding of military support to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).-The civil defense function performed by the De- partment of Defense was transferred to FEMA upon its establishment in 1979. Beginning in fiscal year 1981, FEMA reimbursed the Depart- ment for the services of individual reservists and reserve units that support civil defense. FEMA neglected to fund for these activities, however, in fiscal year 1982. The Department of Defense has made $1.6 million available for tranfer to FEMA so that individual mobilization designee support continues. The Committee recommends that these funds remain in the Army Reserve and Air Force Reserve appropria- tions accounts so that the subsequent tranfer of money from the De- partment to FEMA takes place. Individual Ready Reserve.-The Committee recommends a reduction of $11.672 million in the four reserve accounts since. the Individual Ready Reserve bonus is not authorized for fiscal year 1982. Civilian technicians.-Based on last year's test to detemine the best mix of civilian/military technicians in the Reserve and Guard forces, the Air Force Reserve found that a higher percentage of civilian tech- nicians best suits its needs. The Air Force Reserve has requested that the miliatry personnel account be reduced by $4.6 million and the operations and maintenance account be increased by the same amount Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M00610R000100040015-6 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040015-6 to fund its increased requirement for civilian technicians. The Com- mittee recommends that this request be honored.

The pay was opposed by field commanders, however, and the request was subsequently withdrawn by the Army. The Committee, therefore, has deleted this funding from the Army budget estimate. Skill shortage pay.-This new discretionary pay program offers ap- proximately 11,000 enlisted personnel between $100 and $150 per month in high-technology specialties, such as air defense radar and mis- sile maintenance/electronics mechanics/communications equipment maintenance positions. Personnel must be on their second or subse- quent enlistment to qualify for this pay. The Committee recommends full funding of the $17,300,000 budget estimate since this pay is ex- pected to greatly improve retention rates in critical skill areas. Because this pay is a new initiative which will supplement personnel already receiving reenlistment bonuses, however, the Army is directed to report to the Committee no later than July 1, 1982, on the effect of this pay on critical skill retention. Miscellaneous reductions.-The Committee recommends a reduction of $7.8. million based on overstated pay longevity calculations; a $9 mil- lion reduction in temporary lodging allowances because of lower than expected inflation rates overseas; and a $5.8 million reduction based on a lower than expected number of personnel receiving this allowance in fiscal year 1982. Proposed Fort Ord reduction.-The Committee is concerned with the Army's plan to reduce the Seventh Infantry Division at Fort Ord, Calif., to cadre status. This unit is a highly mobile, light infantry divi- sion which is less costly to operate and maintain than heavier divisions. The Army is unable to provide the Committee with definite cost data on the planned fiscal year 1983 drawdown and the subsequent buildup in fiscal years 1986 and 1987. Recognizing that the proposed reduction of this unit to cadre strength is in its early planning stages and that the Army has not informed the Committee as to the costs and benefits of its proposal, the Committee instructs the Army that none of the funds appropriated by this act shall be used for a reduction in the size of the Seventh Infantry Division pursuant to a change 'in status of that division.

Committee recommendation ................................................................................ 14,944,815,000 The Committee recommends an appropriation of $14,944,815,000 for retired pay. This is an increase of $1,057,015,000 over the fiscal year 1981 appropriation and a decrease of $37,000,000 from the budget esti- mate. The recommended reduction is based on the action of the 1981 Omnibus Reconciliation Act which entitled military personnel not participating in the survivors benefits. program to do so. The Commit- tee's recommendation concurs with the Congressional Budget Office estimate of the amount of funding projected to be saved in fiscal year 1982. Appropriations under this title finance retirement pay, as authorized and prescribed by law, for military personnel on the retired lists of the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and Air Force. This includes payments for nondisability retirement at completion of prescribed lengths of service, for those in temporary or permanent disability status, for Navy and Marine Corps members of the Fleet Reserve who have 20, but less than 30, years' creditable service, and for survivors of deceased members who qualify for continued annuities. The estimates exclude payments to individuals who elect to receive compensation for physical disability from the Veterans Administration. The amounts requested are also ex- clusive of any administrative expense. (31).

This is $838,513,000 above the budget estimate. The recommendation for the 1982 annual bill does not include amounts to be requested by DOD at a later time for supplemental appropriations to cover civilian pay raises, fuel price increases, and other contingent requirements. The Committee recommendations by appropriation account are com- pared with the budget estimate in the following table: [in thousands of dollars] Fiscal year Budget Committee rec- 1981 enacted estimate ommendation Operation and maintenance: Army ............................................. $13,160,533 $15,207,500 $15,354,400 Army Stock Fund ....................... 34,000 211,300 211,300 Navy ............................................. 17,728,799 19,611,170 19,944,389 Navy Stock Fund ........................ 309 17,435 17,435 Marine Corps ............................... 1,072,206 1,176,940 1,186,440 Marine Corps Stock Fund ......... 4,108 13,334 13,334 Air Force ..................................... 14,769,614 16,696,076 16,906,069 Air Force Stock Fund ................ 28,300 107,800 107,800 Defense agencies ....................... 4,380,816 4,635,500 4,768,000 Defense Stock Fund .................. 458,000 79,000 79,000 Army Reserve ............................. 522,793 614,900 619,700 Navy Reserve .............................. 554,172 578,640 565,540 Marine Corps Reserve ............... 28,854 40,299:. 40,799 Air Force Reserve ...................... 601,980 678,008 682,608 Army National Guard ................. 958,770 1,041,200 1,047,600 Air National Guard ..................... 1,531,907 1,682,468 1,682,568 National- Board for the Promotion of Rifle-Practice ............................. 845 444 845 Claims, Defense .:............................... 141,850 195,500 198,200 Court of Military Appeals .................. 2,310 2,607 2,607 Total, operation and main. tenance ................................. 55,980,234 62,590,121 63,428,634 The Department's budget estimate of $62,590,121,000 includes $3,191,000,000 for inflation and $3,178,400,000 for real program growth over the previous year programs. The Department assumed an average rate of inflation of 8.4 percent. In consideration of the actual rate of in- flation for fiscal year. 1981 of 13.3 percent, the Committee is concerned that the Department has assumed an overly optimistic projection for fis- cal year 1982. Inflationary impact in excess of the Department's projec- tion- will erode the planned program growth for needed readiness im- provements.

This view was expressed in the Committee's reports the past 2 years. The backlog has grown from a total of $2.32 billion in fiscal year 1978 to a projected $3.554 billion at the end of fis- cal year 1982. The Department has made a clear commitment to contain the growth of the backlog of real property maintenance projects as evidenced in the requested funding level of 35 percent over fiscal year 1981 pro- grams. However, real property maintenance projects have been ne- glected for so long and the backlog is accelerating at such a rate that if definitive action is not realized this fiscal year, dedication of future resources for repair and maintenance of these facilities may no longer be cost effective. In recognition of this circumstance, the Committee Approved3For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040015-6 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040015-6 recommends that a total of $400 million be added to the Army, Navy, and Air Force operation and maintenance accounts to further reduce the backlog of maintenance and repair of real property. Specific direc- tion of the additional funds is contained in the appropriate sections of this report under the various appropriation account headings. CONSULTANTS, STUDIES, TECHNICAL SERVICES, AND OTHER MANAGEMENT SUPPORT coNTRACfs In nearly every legislative action in recent years regarding the opera- tions of the Government or budgetary matters, the Congress has ex- pressed a continued concern over the excessive use and misuse of con- tractor support to perform tasks which should be done by Government employees or not performed at all. Despite repeated direction to the contrary, the use of contractor support for "paper" missions seems to be accelerating as an accepted mode for doing the business of the De-' partment of Defense. However, the Department is beginning to seek methods to control the use of contractor support and has made some positive steps to this end as evidenced by an overall reduction of $210 million since the January budget submission. Despite the initiatives of control, the problem of attaining visibility of the extent of contractor support still remains. For the past 2 years the Department has submitted a budgetary o document which defines and quantifies the types of contractor support functions performed and fur- ther aggregates this information by appropriation account. As support- ing data to the fiscal year 1982 amended budget, the Department es- timated that over $1.5 billion would be used for consultants, studies, technical services, and other management support contracts. By com- parison, it was estimated that over $1.3 billion would be used for these purposes in fiscal year 1980. Regardless of this voluminous budgetary in- formation, accounting data estimated that nearly three times the amount reported for this purpose was actually spent. These conflicting reporting mechanisms suggest a myriad of problems, but at a minimum it is clear that there is .no relationship between the budget and accounting systems to determine the actual extent to which the department is utilizing con- tractor support. In an effort to yield a better understanding of the use of contractor support, the Committee directs the Department to improve the budget and accounting reporting systems by including the same information es- tablished by identical definitions as supporting data for the fiscal year 1983 budget submission. The current data for the fiscal year 1982 submission estimates that the Navy appropriation accounts comprise over 60 percent of the budg- et request for consultants, studies and analyses, and management sup- port contracts. Regardless of any other proposals, the Committee recom- mends that the Navy accounts be reduced $77 million in order to de- crease the dependence on the use of contractor support services. It should be emphasized that the preponderance of this reduction be ap- plied to the general categories of consultants, contract studies and analyses, and the specific categories of program management support, and other professional and management services by contract. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M00610R000100040015-6 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040015-6 Although the largest share of this reduction is applied under the Navy operation and maintenance account, the Committee recognizes that the use of the existing budgetary documents poses the prospect of severe inequities. Consequently, the Department of Defense may pro- pose a redistribution of this reduction to all appropriation accounts, and report to the Committee on the redistribution by a notification reprograming. CIVILIAN HEALTH AND MEDICAL PROGRAM OF THE UNIFORMED SERVICES (CHAMPUS) Biofeedback.-The Committee is concerned that no real progress has yet been made by CHAMPUS in authorizing reimbursement for bio- feedback services. The Committee expressed its initial interest in this matter during its fiscal year 1978 deliberations, and it has consistently raised this issue with the Department of Defense. Indeed, last year the Department reported that an amendment of its regulations had been drafted that would provide biofeedback therapy coverage for the follow- ing medical conditions: headache; idiopathic, essential hypertension; primary idiopathic Raynoud's disease; neuromuscular rehabilitation; gastrointestinal disorders; and cardiac arrhythmias. The Committee re- mains convinced that biofeedback therapy is a highly cost-effective modality and accordingly directs CHAMPUS to explore under what conditions these services should be reimbursed. Peer review.-The Committee remains highly impressed by the pio- neering efforts of CHAMPUS to establish professional peer review panels in order to insure that mental health services reimbursed under CHAMPUS are necessary and appropriate. It is the Committee's opin- ion that this particular initiative has been highly instrumental in keep- ing the costs of mental health care at a reasonable level during the past fiscal year. Child and spouse abuse.-During its fiscal years 1980 and 1981 delib- erations, the Committee expressed its concern that the Department of Defense begin to aggressively address the many needs of children and spouses of active duty personnel. The General Accounting Office has reviewed the problem of dependent abuse and has acknowledged that the situation is confounded by the fact that those individuals with the Department of Defense assigned to address child and spouse abuse are at the same time charged with other competing responsibilities. More- over, although the Department has been asked by Congress to identify a budget amount for this effort, it has not done so. Accordingly, the Committee recommends an increase of $10 million, as reflected in the individual services operation and maintenance accounts, so that child ad- vocacy and family counseling programs are established in fiscal year 1982. The Department is expected to use the appropriation on these programs only. Additionally, the Committee asks the Department of Defense to identify in its fiscal year 1983 budget estimate specific funds and resources that will be allocated to correcting the problem of child and spouse abuse. Clinical social worker demonstration project.-The Committee is pleased that the clinical social worker direct reimbursement program, Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M00610R000100040015-6 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M00610R000100040015-6 begun last year, is progressing and that over 360. health billings have been submitted. The Committee understands that there is no evidence to indicate that the overall quality of care has been jeopardized and that the majority of the billings have been at either the same or lower rate than that for prevailing CHAMPUS psychotherapy care. Accord- ingly, the Committee recommends that the pilot project be continued for an additional year, and it expects that during its fiscal year 1983 deliberations, the decision will be made whether to concur with in- dependent reimbursement pursuant to the President's 1978 Commission on Mental Health recommendation. Fraud and abuse.-The Committee agrees with the recent CHAMPUS reorganization that created an Office of Program Integrity and recog- nizes the difficulties associated with assigning a high priority to in- dividual beneficiary or provider fraud. The Committee expects to be kept informed of any further difficulties that CHAMPUS might ex- perience in insuring that allegations of fraud are fully explored. Health maintenance organization (HMO) project.-The Committee is pleased with CHAMPUS implementation of the health maintenance or- ganization demonstration project in Portland, Oreg. This program is ex- pected to continue for 3 years at 'a minimum in order for the De- partment to obtain sufficient data to assess the possibility of expanding the project. The Committee is especially interested in learning the ex- tent to which CHAMPUS beneficiaries using this "prepaid" approach are more or less satisfied with their health care. Recognizing that retirees are reluctant to participate in the HMO project due to its ex- perimental nature, the Committee urges CHAMPUS to use its authority to explore means of addressing retirees' concern, perhaps by guarantee- ing beneficiaries that additional costs in regaining earlier coverage will be covered by CHAMPUS. The Committee further expects that CHAMPUS, under this broad authority, will consider exploring other types of health insurance. Inpatient psychiatric care.-The Committee remains concerned that there continues to be excessive reliance on the most costly in-patient psychiatric care treatment modality than is appropriate. This is pri- marily because, unlike the mental health benefit of private sector health care plans, there is no annual limitation under CHAMPUS. The Com- mittee recognizes the concern of CHAMPUS and the mental health community for the 30-day annual limitation on in-patient psychiatric care. CHAMPUS assures the Committee that long-term psychiatric. in- patient care is being closely monitored and that the American Psychi- atric Association's peer review committees, in particular, will increase their efforts in this area. Accordingly, the Committee is not recom- mending such a limit. The Committee is disturbed, however, by statistics indicating that the fiscal year 1980 average cost per in-patient psychiatric care was nearly twice that for in-patient surgery or medical care. And, the Committee has reviewed evidence suggesting that a 30- day annual limit would not have the adverse impact that the providers contend. Nonphysician health care providers.-Last year the Committee di- rected the Department to address allegations of morale problems among nonphysician health care providers. The Committee remains concerned Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M00610R000100040015-6 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M00610R000100040015-6 that highly competent health care professionals are not allowed to function to the fullest extent of their training. This is partly because the services demonstrate a decided preference to selecting physicians, rather than other, health care professionals, when assigning a health care pro- fessional to an administrative position. Further, the Committee is con- cerned that, since administrative skills differ from clinical skills, the use of limited medical resources in this way may not be in the best interest of the services. Accordingly, the Committee directs the Department to renew its attention to this matter and to report to this Committee the extent to which primarily _ administrative positions are filled by clinicians. This report should include a comparison with generally accepted practices in the civilian community and should describe the extent to which any particular professional discipline may have been systematically favored in such assignments. Nurse-midwives.-The Committee is pleased by the good faith efforts made by CHAMPUS. for the direct reimbursement of certified nurse- midwives. The Committee is likewise pleased with the pioneering ef- forts that CHAMPUS has undertaken in establishing national standards for birthing centers. Optometry.-The Committee directs CHAMPUS to continue con- sideration of an increased vision therapy benefits package. Available evidence suggests that approximately 15 percent of private sector em- ployees have routine vision care available through the health care benefits program, and that eye and vision disorders account for the second most chronic national health condition. Further, on a nationwide basis, it is estimated that only half of those requiring some form of vi- sion care actually receive it. Nurse practitioners.-The Committee has supported direct reimburse- ment of nurse practitioners and clinical specialists by CHAMPUS since 1977. The Committee believes that since these individuals are licensed to perform independently at the State level and since they possess a master of arts degree, a nursing degree, and professional certification, there should be no concern about the possible dimunition of quality of care. To date, all evidence provided to the Committee confirms that nurse practitioners/clinical specialists are fully competent to provide as much as 90 percent of the care currently provided by physicians, and in an equally effective manner. Since 1978, certified nurse-midwives have been directly reimbursed. The fiscal year 1980 appropriations bill (Public Law 96-154) permitted direct reimbursement of certified nurse practitioners on an experimental basis. To date, there have been less than 50 billings nationwide. Accordingly, the Committee feels that it is now appropriate to remove the experimental designation and it directs CHAMPUS to provide for their direct reimbursement. Dental plan demonstration project.-The Committee recommends that CHAMPUS explore the possibility of offering, a dental benefit plan to its beneficiaries. Accordingly, the Committee has included a general provision (sec. 780) that would authorize a special demonstration test during which CHAMPUS could spend up to $25 million during the fis- cal year to provide preventive and basic restorative dental care. The Committee further directs CHAMPUS to obtain information on bene- ficiary utilization patterns and on potential comprehensive dental benefit package offerings. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M00610R000100040015-6 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040015-6 Residential treatment centers.-Last year, the Committee reviewed the Department's problems with the residential treatment centers (RTC's) and the Defense Audit Service reports on these centers. As a result, the Committee made specific programatic and administrative recommenda- tions to CHAMPUS aimed at tightening up the program and addressing allegations of , fraud and provider abuse. CHAMPUS officials assured the Committee that each of its directives would be implemented. Ac- cordingly, the Committee is distressed that the Department now pro- poses to terminate the status of RTC's as authorized providers. It is likewise aware that national professional associations representing mental health providers are similarly concerned. The Committee there- fore directs the Department to continue the RTC program as a recog- nized benefit and to expend the necessary financial and personal resources necessary to implement its concrete recommendations of last year, that is, to insure that all admissions to RTC's are medically or psychologically necessary, and to require within a reasonable time period an independent evaluation by a mental health practitioner who is not affiliated with the RTC. CHAMPUS should also increase its efforts to evaluate the quality of RTC treatment programs, to include requiring that each resident receive a physical examination at least once a year. Finally, CHAMPUS should insure that RTC's provide periodic objective documentation that the services they provide are having the desired effects. The Committee is gravely concerned that unless a full range of mental health benefits, including RTC's, is offered by CHAMPUS, the children involved either will not receive necessary mental health care, or they will receive more costly, possibly inap- propriate in-patient care. Reconstructive surgery.-The Committee has slightly modified the bill language concerning this issue in order to clarify the intent of the section. The Committee recognizes that the current language can be in- terpreted to conflict with the intent and application in benefit determination. COMPETITIVE RATE PROGRAM The Committee recommends the inclusion of a general provision to prohibit the obligation of funds under the competitive rate program of the Department of Defense for the transportation of household goods to or from Alaska and Hawaii. This provision has been included in every Defense Appropriation Act since fiscal year 1979. Despite repeti- tive action and a recent General Accounting Office report which ques- tions the value of the competitive rate program, the Department has not attempted to develop a policy which is both competitive in nature and commercially acceptable. In recognition of this impasse, the Committee directs the Military Traffic Management Command of the Department of Defense to review proposals of the moving industry with the objective of developing an alternative rate program to improve competition in the household shipment industry. A report on the findings of this review is expected by March 15, 1982. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M00610R000100040015-6 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040015-6 FEDERAL EMPLOYEE INJURY COMPENSATION SYSTEM Since the fiscal year 1979 Defense Appropriation Act, in each succes- sive year the Congress has adopted a provision to limit payments that the Department of Defense may make to the Department of Labor for the Federal employee compensation fund. These provisions have been included in recognition of the excessively large percentage increases for such payments from year to year. The attempt has been to reduce the amount paid by the Department of Defense into the employee compen- sation fund to an amount equal to the average cost increase of the direct labor for that year. The Committee concurs with other proposals to constrain such payments to a level of $206.1 million which allows for an approximate increase of 7 percent from the fiscal year 1981 level. Section 735 of the bill contains this limitation. FORMAT OF COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS The Committee recommendations for the operation and maintenance accounts of this report are organized by program package to illustrate the variety and types of programs financed through these accounts. Changes to the budget and a comparative fiscal year 1981 program are reflected by these packages in order to demonstrate the extent to which the Committee has reviewed these accounts. Regardless of any other proposals to the contrary, the inclusion of this level of detail does not suggest a new reporting requirement for the Department of Defense.

Of the estimated $2.3 billion for facility projects backlog for the Army, nearly $1.3 billion is in Europe. Although the Army has taken action to reduce the backlog in the budget request of over $450 million for real property maintenance in Europe, and the Committee directs that at least $60 million of the recommended increase be applied to repair projects in this area. Force modernization/operational support.-Based on the current pro- jection of systems requiring operational support, fewer M-1 tanks and support vehicles will be fielded than originally assumed in the amended request. In addition, operation and maintenance costs appear to be overstated, except in the training base, for the infantry/cavalry fighting vehicles, Hawk missile, TACFIRE, and truck programs. Current pro- jections appear to be reliable due to the impressive upgrade to cost estimating procedures in the Army modernization information memor- andum (AMIM) and the modernization resource information submis- sion (MRIS) reviews. The Committee recommends a reduction of $60 million to reflect this reevaluation of requirements. Pre-positioning. of material in configured unit sets (POMCUS).-The amended budget request includes funding for tool kits and repair parts in advance of planned fiscal year 1983 initiatives to process equipment for POMCUS Division set 5. In light of ongoing negotiations with the Federal Republic of Germany to determine the extent of wartime host nation support, the Committee feels that it is ill advised to adjust cur- rent plans for the POMCUS program at this time. Regardless of any proposals to the contrary, the Committee recommends funding at the budget request. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M00610R000100040015-6 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040015-6 Civilian personnel.-The Committee recommends a reduction of $60 million which is the estimated cost to add 5,000 civilians to convert military positions. Current restrictions on United States direct hire and foreign national indirect hire civilian end strength ceilings preclude the use of funds for additional personnel. Base level commercial equipment.-Current restrictions limit the pur- chase of items with a unit cost in excess of $3,000 to the investment ap- propriation accounts. The Committee recommends the reduction of $23.3 million to reflect the transfer of such items from the operating ac- count to the investment account. Supply depot operations.-The Army requested funding to handle and store 80,000 short tons of ammunition shipments to Europe. However, the existing storage capacity in Europe could only accommodate ship- ments of 50,000 short tons. Therefore, it is recommended that the re- quest be reduced $17.1 million to reflect actual funding requirements for transportation of ammunition to Europe. Base operations.-Other pending proposals recommend the reduction of funds for base operations functions related to quality of life improve- ments, upgrades for facilities in Korea, vehicle maintenance projects in Hawaii, and other real property maintenance initiatives. The Committee views any reductions to the perennially underfunded base operations ac- counts as undesirable in the absence of further justification.

This increase will raise the real property main- tenance funding level to over $800 million. It is particularly discon- certing that the Navy chose to reduce this priority $40 million in the most recent budget revision. The recommended $100 million increase will effectively reverse this reduction, and not less than $25 million should be applied to naval shipyard facility repair projects. Ship operations.-Navy reduced ship steaming hours by $173 million in the last budget revision which partially draws down commitments in the Indian Ocean. Other proposals have been recommended to restore $100 million to yield roughly 1 more hour per quarter for ship steaming hours. Recommend the addition of $100 million for this purpose. Other sea maintenance support.-Without regard to any other pro- posals to the contrary, the Committee recommends that funds be provided at the budget request level for the overhaul of crew berthing barges. Failure to overhaul these barges would force the Navy to assign fewer ships' crews to the barges, and seek alternative accommodations away from industrial facilities at greater expense. Due to the cost ineffi- cient alternative, the Committee recommends support of this program at the budget request. Leased satellite communications (LEASAT program).-Navy has iden- tified advance funding need of $59 million for LEASAT due to a change in the financing procedures and leasing agreements. Although this item was identified prior to the budget revisions, the Navy did not request any change in funding authority to accommodate this priority. 86-596 0 - 81 - 4 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M00610R000100040015-6 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M00610R000100040015-6 In view of the conference authorization action, the Committee recom- mends that the Navy fund this priority within appropriation funding available. Stores ship "Tarbatness"-The revised budget request provides for funding to lease the stores ship Tarbatness from the British Gov- ernment. Due to the current requirement for additional stores ships, and regardless of any proposals to the contrary, the Committee recom- mends that funding be provided at the budget request. Ship overhaul-DD-976 U.S.S. "Merrill':-As a direct consequence of the Navy's decision to reactivate the U.S.S. New Jersey at the Long Beach Naval Shipyard, the Navy was forced to reassign a number of ship overhauls which had been planned for this yard prior to that deci- sion. Although other ships were assigned elsewhere for overhaul this fiscal year, the Merrill overhaul was slipped to fiscal year 1984. In view of this action the Committee recommends that $16.4 million be deleted from the request to reflect the realinement of this overhaul beyond fiscal year 1982. Funds are provided for a short industrial period to in- stall the Tomahawk missile system on this ship. Further, the Committee views any increases to the cost of overhauls reassigned from this ship- yard as a direct cost associated with the decision to reactivate U.S.S. New Jersey. Naval Arctic Research Laboratory.-The Committee recommends a reduction of $4.3 million to reflect the reversal of the decision to trans- fer control of this facility from the Navy to the Department of the Interior. This amount had been requested to assume the cost of closure and transportation of equipment from this lab. Ship overhaul change orders and advanced funding.-Beginning in fis- cal year 1983, the Committee directs that the Navy budget for ship change orders in the same fiscal year in which the ship is inducted. Further, the Navy should finance the procurement of all long-lead materials through the stock fund to be provided in the same fiscal year in which a ship enters an industrial facility. The effect of this recom- mendation will be to improve the accountability of fiscal year funding provided for ship maintenance. Unlike prior year programs, as of fiscal year 1983 all costs associated with ship overhauls and repair will be charged to the same fiscal year funding as the year that the ship enters overhaul. The recommendation to defer implementation of this financ- ing procedure has been made in recognition of the adjustments neces- sary to accommodate this effort in the fiscal year 1983 budget sub- mission. S-3 flying hours.-Committee recommends the reduction of $9 mil- lion from the S-3 aircraft flying hour program due to avionics equipment and maintenance problems which will preclude the. ac- complishment of the full flying hour program. Helo maintenance.-It is recommended that $1.2 million be reduced from the request to reflect actual contract cost vice budget estimates for the maintenance of helicopters. Flying hour program.-Committee recommends the addition of $25 million to raise the number of flying hours beyond the constrained program currently budgeted. This recommendation considers current tensions in the Mediterranean and Indian Ocean. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040015-6 Barge operations-Diego Garcia.-Without regard to any proposals to the contrary, the Committee recommends a funding level at the budget request for barge operations on Diego Garcia. Navy conducts all servic- ing of logistics transport ships from a barge assigned to this island base. Transfer of ammunition ships from reserve to active fleet.-The Com- mittee recommends that $20.3 million be added to the budget request to reflect the realinement of funding for Navy ammunition ships which have been tranferred from the reserve to the active fleet. Funds will provide for the operation of the Mauna Kea and Pyro. Chief of Naval Material-(CNM) headquarters.-This is the head- quarters operation of Navy acquisition and logistics functions. As such, it is the parent command of a multitude of specialized systems com- mands, engineering laboratories and performs as the overall corporate management of systems procurement and resources. CNM headquarters performs very few direct line management functions, but acts as a review and oversight authority. A variety of internal Navy, Office of the Secretary of Defense and congressional reviews have questioned the possible duplication of CNM headquarters as it relates to subordinate commands and its relative impact on the overall program it was designed to manage. In light of this continued speculation, the Committee directs the De- partment of Defense to develop a report in conjunction with the Navy which: examines the role of the CNM headquarters, excluding the Consolidated Civilian Personnel Office, Strategic Systems Project Office, and the Joint Cruise Missile Project Office; proposes several organiza- tional alternatives to the present CNM headquarters concept; and ad- dresses the specific alternative of disestablishment of this headquarters by the end of fiscal year 1983. It is requested that this report be pro- vided to the Committee by February. 1, 1982. In the interim, reduction of $5 million is recommended to cancel the emphasize on headquarters control of cost estimating and analysis, reduce management support contracts of CNM headquarters and associated project managers, and a decrease of civilian personnel as planned by the CNM headquarters. Commander-In-Chief, Naval Forced Europe.-The Commander-In- Chief, U.S. Naval Forces, Europe (CINCUSNAVEUR) performs a number of functional roles including operational control of the 6th Fleet, and supervises the Navy shore activities in Europe. Despite num- erous attempts to reduce management headquarter staffs, this organi- zation is growing despite the overall management headquarters trend of negative or no growth. Regardless of any other proposal to the contrary, the Committee supports funding at the budget request, yet it is the Committee's intention to examine this growth pattern during the up- coming fiscal year 1983 budget reviews. Committee adjustments to the budget estimate, including those not specifically addressed in this report, are summarized in the following table: Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040015-6 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040015-6 Operation and maintenance, Navy Committee recommendation Ship operations ........................................................................................................ + $100,000,000 U.S.S.

The additional funding will reduce the backlog to less than $250 million. The Committee directs that this funding be applied to backlog projects in general, but with specific attention to projects in Europe, Pacific, Strategic Air Command, Alaskan Air Command, and the Tactical Air Command. Depot maintenance industrial fund.-The Committee has determined that it is undesirable for the Air Force to continue to award depot maintenance contracts in advance of appropriations and directs the Air Force to award only those contracts for which appropriations are currently available. For many years the Air Force has awarded contracts to private con- tractors for depot maintenance work financed through the industrial the end of a fiscal y fund.

Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040015-6 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040015-6 Training.-The March amendment included an additional $8 million for the recruitment and training of 7,000 nonprior service enlistments. The most recent budget revision reduced the Air Force military person- nel end strength and eliminated 6,000 nonprior service enlistments from the plan. The Committee recommends a reduction of $6.86 million to reflect realinement of funding with actual training plan requirements. Test ranges.-The Air Force maintains a number of test ranges and launch sites for Government and nongovernment users. Nongovernment users are charged the total cost associated with test launches, yet Gov- ernment users are charged only the direct expense of a launch and the Air Force assumes all overhead expenses. The Committee recommends a decrease of $5.447 million which represents the overhead cost as- sociated with Government use of test ranges. This recommendation would change the Air Force financial practice to charge all users the same rate without regard to Government or nongovernment use. National emergency airborne command post.-The March amendment requested funding for the proposed movement of the airborne com- mand post primary alert aircraft. Current information indicates that the relocation of the aircraft has been delayed beyond this fiscal year. Therefore, a decrease of $4 million is recommended. Alaskan Air Command real property maintenance.-The Alaskan Air Command backlog of real property maintenance is estimated at over $34 million which is an inordinately high share of the total Air Force backlog for this singular command to assume. An increase of $7 million is recommended to lower this backlog and will be used to affect needed repairs and improvements to the Shemya Air Force Base facilities. Desert and mountain unit training.-The request includes $10 million for support training of units in desert and mountain environments, yet the Air Force has not identified the training which would be conducted or types and quantities of aircraft that would be involved. The Com- mittee feels that this request is redundant to other increases for training exercises and recommends that funds be denied. Simplified processing station.-Funds are requested for operational costs associated with the decision to move this station of the defense support program to an overseas location. Current information indicates the planned movement has been canceled thereby negating the require- ment for the additional $2 million. Air base ground defense flights.-Regardless of any other proposals to the contrary, the Committee recommends funding at the budget request for Air Force initiatives to improve detection capabilities in the event of ground attack against air bases in Europe and Korea. Cadin-Pineiree line air defense system.-Additional funding is re- quested to pay the Canadian Government for the cost of radar site operations and maintenance. Regardless of any other proposals to the contrary, the Committee recommends concurrence with the budget re- quest, but directs the Air Force to begin reviewing the agreement with the Canadian Government to yield greater accountability of costs in- curred. Distant early warning line radar.-An additional $19.4 million is re- quested to operate 31 DEW line radars which is a reversal of a prior decision to phase out part of this operation. However, previous budget Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M00610R000100040015-6 information did not reflect a reduction of funds for this purpose. Current estimates indicate that the Air Force request is overstated by $9.4 million and is reduced accordingly. Miscellaneous adjustments.-Committee recommends a reduction of $4.1 million to reflect changes in funding requirements for the Rapier air defense system, B-52 trainer and ground launched cruise missile. B -52D retirements.-The amended budget included the recommenda- tion to retire three B-52D aircraft squadrons and a combat training squadron. In view of recent improvements to these aircraft, the Com- mittee recommends restoring $18.9 million to retain operation of these aircraft through this fiscal year. Base operations support.-The Committee recommends a reduction of $7.1 million to, reflect savings as indicated in this area by the General Accounting Office and to reduce support costs associated with the F-106 'phasedown. Flying hours.-A reduction of $8 milion is recommended to realine funding estimates for the support cost of helicopter units, offensive training and reconnaissance aircraft programs. Foreign exchange rate-Korean won.-The Committee recommends the reduction of $2 million to reflect the current exchange rate of the Korean won to the dollar. Since the budget submission, rates have im- proved to a ratio of 686 to 1. This reduction reflects savings from the budget estimate. Management headquarters.-The Air Force engages in a series of innovative financing methods in an effort to accommodate increases in management headquarters level staff. The most unique practice is to comingle operations funding with research and development funding to finance the actual cost of civilian personnel and associated support ex- penses. In addition, there has been. continuing speculation and other proposals which suggest duplicity of specific management headquarters operations. Other proposals have been advanced to examine the con- solidation of the U.S. Readiness Command which is the parent head- quarters of the rapid deployment joint task force and a myriad of sub- ordinate activities. In recognition of these other proposals and the un- usual financing methodology, the Committee recommends a reduction of $3.7 million. Despite many initiatives from the Congress to reduce management headquarters operations, there is strong reason to believe that these reductions have not been effected fully. It is the Committee's intention to examine the growth of management headquarters during the fiscal year 1983 review.

This appropriation finances the operation and maintenance costs of the Office of the Secretary of Defense, the Office of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS), nine Defense-wide agencies, and several field activities. Included are funds for American Forces Information Service, Civilian Health and Medical Program of the Uniformed Services (CHAMPUS), Tri-Service Medical Information System (TRIMIS), Dependents Educa- tion, Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USUHS), and the Washington Headquarters Service.

The Omnibus Reconciliation Act of 1981 shifted the responsibility for the cost of these schools from the Department of Education to the Department of Defense. Authority had previously been covered under Public Law 81-874, section 6. Although the impact of the provisions of the Reconciliation Act have been known for some months, the Department of Defense failed to address the funding requirement for this program in the successive budget re- visions. Despite this circumstance, the Committee concurs with other proposals to recommend funding of $75 million for the Department of ? Defense to assume the cost of operation of the schools. The Depart- ment is directed to budget for this program in fiscal year 1983 under the operation and maintenance account for defense agencies. CHAMPUS payments.-The most recent budget revision reduced $30 million to adjust the estimate of payments for expected CHAMPUS billings in fiscal year 1982. However, the Committee recognizes that CHAMPUS payments are must pay bills which would be absorbed from other programs if sufficient funding were not provided. No evidence exists to suggest that billings will be any less than assumed in the original budget submission. The consequence of not providing this Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040015-6 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040015.6 funding would be to stretch out reimbursements to military personnel. The Committee views untimely reimbursements as an unacceptable al- ternative to fully funding the original budget estimate. Accordingly the addition of $30 million is recommended for continued payments through this fiscal year. Defense Investigative Service.-This agency is tasked with the perfor- mance of completing personnel security investigation of employees of the Department of Defense and contractor personnel involved in de- fense programs. The requirement for investigations has been increasing in recent years, yet the number of investigators for this agency has re- mained constant over these years. Consequently, a large backlog is developing of uncompleted unvestigations. The time to complete inves- tigations is now approaching 150 days between request and completion. This circumstance poses a significant problem for the Department and defense contractors who may not effectively utilize recently. hired per- sonnel until clearances have been completed. Subsequent to the budget submission this problem was addressed by the Department at hearings conducted by this Committee. The Commit- tee has been notified that the Deputy Secretary of Defense has ap- proved the hiring of 200 additional investigators for the Defense In- vestigative Service, and the hiring of an additional 100 investigators by contract. The Committee agrees that the current situation is un- acceptable, yet the solution to the problem is more appropriately found within existing civilian personnel ceilings of the Department of Defense, and does not concur with the use of contractor personnel to assume a portion of this investigation workload. The Committee directs the De- partment of Defense to proceed with the addition of Government serv- ice investigators within appropriation funding available. Committee adjustments to the budget estimate, including those not speciifically addressed in this report, are summarized in the following table: Operation and maintenance, Defense Agencies Committee recommendation Dependent education .............................................................................................. +S75,000,000 CHAMPUS ............................................................................................................... +30,000,000 DOL payments ........................................................................................................ -4,500,000 Inflation ..................................................................................................................... + 32,000,000 DEFENSE STOCK FUND 1981 appropriation ..................................................................................................... $458,000,000 1982 budget estimate ................................................................................................. 79,000,000 House allowance .........................................................................................................

The Committee recommends an appropriation of $198,200,000. This is $2,700,000 above the budget for inflation. Other proposals suggest reducing the budget for this account for the purpose of obtaining leverage in negotiating revised host nation support agreements. for real property maintenance in West Germany, as a means of causing a general renegotiation of the status of forces agreements. Although the Committee feels that there are opportunities for greater defense cost sharing between the United States and our allies, and that these opportunities should be actively explored and pursued by the Departments of State and Defense, the Committee believes that the withholding of appropriations for legal and valid claims against the.U.S. Government is not the proper way to address the issue.

Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040015-6 TITLE IV PROCUREMENT APPROPRIATION SUMMARY The Committee recommends $65,972,888,000 for Department of De- fense procurement programs in fiscal year 1982. This is an increase of $1,746,984,000 above the budget request and $17,969,218,000 above the fiscal year 1981 appropriations.

This appropriation provides funding for the acquisition of tactical and utility airplanes and helicopters, including associated electronics and communications equipment and armament; modification of in-service aircraft; ground support equipment; production base support; and depot reparable assemblies, components, and repair parts including spare engines, transmissions,. and gear boxes. The Committee recommendations and the budget estimates are detailed in the following comparative table: Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040015-6 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040015-6 Budget Committee estimate recommendation C-12D cargo aircraft ............................................................................ $10,500 UV-18A utility aircraft .......................................................................... 3,600 AH-1S attack helicopter ...................................................................... 55,000 AH-64 attack helicopter ............................................... $365,000 438,400 Advance procurement ............................................ 64,400 64,400 UH-60A utility helicopter .............................................. 484,600 484,600 Advance procurement ............................................

No funds for procurement of the C-12D aircraft were included in the budget request. The C-12D is a commercial-type, all metal, low wing, twin turbo- prop, pressurized cabin, passenger/cargo carrying utility aircraft capable of operating under instrument flight conditions day or night, in high density air traffic control zones and in known icing weather conditions. An appropriation of $3.6 million is recommended for procurement of two UV-18A Twin Otter aircraft. There was no budget estimate: The UV-18A is a twin-engine, high wing, short takeoff and landing (STOL) aircraft that can be configured for passenger or cargo opera- tions. It is capable of flight into instrument meyeorolgic conditions and severe weather, including known icing conditions. The Alaska Army National Guard has an urgent requirement for two more of these aircraft that are uniquely suited for Arctic environment. They will be assigned to scout and Arctic reconnaissance battalions of the 297th Infantry. AH-1S attack helicopter.-The Committee recommends $55 million for procurement of 12 AH-1S Cobra-Tow attack helicopters. No re- quest for this helicopter was included in the President's budget es- timate. The AH-1S is a single rotor, single engine, two-place attack helicop- ter with the capability of delivering an antitank Tow missile as well as conventional weapon rounds. AH-64 advanced attack helicopter.-The Committee recommends $438.4 million for procurement of eight AH-64 attack helicopters and $64.4' million in advance procurement funding for this new system. This is six aircraft less and $73.4 million more than the budget estimate. The AH-64 advanced attack helicopter is a twin. engine, two-place, fully integrated antiarmor weapon system capable of destroying tanks Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M00610R000100040015-6 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89MOO61OR000100040015-6 and other armored vehicles during day or night and under adverse weather conditions. Although the Committee recommends the authorized funding in- crease, it has learned that substantial cost overruns will permit little more than half the anticipated unit procurement in fiscal year 1982, despite the additional funds. And the Army now estimates the pro- gramed fiscal year 1983 buy will drop from 78 to 67 aircraft even under the recommended funding level. Further, although the September 30, 1981, Selected Acquisition Re- port estimated total program costs of $5.9 billion for 545 aircraft, the Army now indicates that figure will exceed $7 billion. This would drive up program unit costs of the AH-64 to at least $12.8 million, an in- crease of nearly $2 million even with moderate inflation projections. These figures clearly suggest program costs are out of control, and the Committee will require a full and detailed accounting. Before any of the recommended procurement funds are committed, the Army is directed to report on all cost data to the Armed Services and Appro- priations Committees of the House and Senate. The report should include full background information and explanations for these sharp overruns, and detail what measures are being established to control them in the future. It should also explain the late timing of the cost in- crease disclosure and specify any additional known problems that might further drive up costs. Finally, a detailed, updated, and explicit cost estimate revision for the program should be developed and certified. UH-60A utility tactical transport helicopter.-The Committee recom- mends $484.6 million- for procurement of 96 UH-60A Black Hawk utility helicopters. The recommendation is the same as the President's budget request. In addition, the Committee recommends $60.6 million for advance procurement of long leadtime items. In agreement with the authorization bill, the Committee has deleted the $126 million budget request to initiate multiyear procurement of the Black Hawk. Development and procurement of this aircraft has suffered cost overruns similar to those of the AH-64 discussed earlier. This sys- tem should be fully cost stabilized before long-term procurement con- tracts are financed. The Black Hawk helicopter is the Army's first true squad-carrying helicopter and is replacing the UH-1 in the air assault, air cavalry, and aeromedical evacuation missions. Modification of aircraft.-The Committee recommends $449.8 million for modification of in-service aircraft. This is the same as the President's budget estimate. Increased funding over fiscal year 1981 levels are provided in all but a few modification programs. Major modification ef- forts include $273.1 million for the CH-47 Chinook and $65.9 million for the AH-1S Cobra helicopters; and $53.6 million for the RC-12D reconnaissance and $18.5 million for the OV-1 surveillance airplanes. Spares and repair parts-The Committee recommends $220.7 million for procurement of spares and repair parts. The recommendation is in agreement with the President's budget estimate. The funds provide for centrally managed, high dollar value, depot reparable assemblies, components, and repair parts such as engines, transmissions, and gear boxes in support of an Army fleet of approx- imately 750 fixed wing and 8,000 rotary wing aircraft.

No change in the budget estimate is recommended.

Committee recommendation ................................................................................ 2,177,200,000 The Committee recommends an appropriation of $2,177,200,000 for "Missile procurement, Army." This is $33,000,000 below the President's budget estimate. This appropriation provides for, the procurement of surface-to-air and surface-to-surface missile systems; air defense control and coordination systems; antitank/assault missile systems; modification of in-service mis- siles and supporting equipment; and related costs such as production base support. The Committee recommendation is detailed in the following. compara- tive table: Budget estimate Committee recommendation Chaparral (MIM-72-A/C) .............................................. $4,300 $4,300 Hawk (MIM-23-B) .......................................................... 4,700 4,700 U.S. Roland ........................................................................................... 50,000 Patriot (SAM-D) ............................................................. 720,800 670,000 Stinger ............................................................................ 223,900 203,900 Laser Hellfire .................................................................. 128,400 113,400 Pershing .......................................................................... 191,800 191,800 TOW (BGM-71A, BTM-71A) ......................................... 96,600 96,600 Multiple Launch Rocket System .................................. 179,300 179,300 Modification of missiles ................................................ 440,800 413,300 Spares and repair parts ............................................... 181,800 181,800 Support equipment and facilities ......................:.......... 40,800 40,800 Inflation adjustment ....................................................... -3,000 27,300 Missile allowances.-Revisions in the budgeted program are in confor- mance to the authorizing legislation with the exception of the inflation adjustment. The allowance for U.S. Roland, a program proposed for termination in the September budget revision, did not permit sufficient funding for closeout costs. The recommended allowance will permit 27 fire units and 595 missiles to equip 3 batteries that will be available to the rapid deployment force. This appears to be the most effective approach to closing out additional procurement for this short-range air defense sys- tem in which the United States has already invested some $1.2 billion. . The allowance for the Patriot low- to medium-altitude air defense sys- tem reduces purchases from 280 to 244 missiles. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040015-6 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040015-6 The Committee views with concern the long-range impact of the De- partment of Defense. decision to terminate the Roland program and the cutbacks in the Patriot system. There is no doubt about the pressing nature of air defense needs in Europe. The Roland program, a joint United States-NATO program, resulted from that air defense need. The Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to report to the Committee during the fiscal year 1983 budget hearings how the air defense needs in Europe will be met in the future. The report should include specific programs and plans. Although there has been slippage in the passive optical seeker for the Stinger short-range, shoulder-fired antiaircraft missile, the Committee recommends the full authorization to avoid any further slowdown. A. reduction from 1,075 to 800 missiles is recommended in the al- lowance for the Laser Hellfire system, which is the primary antiarmor missile for the AH-64 attack helicopter. Modifications.-The recommended allowance for modification of mis- sile systems includes the elimination of $17.5 million budgeted for the Dragon and an undistributed reduction of $10 million, in agreement with the authorization.

This appropriation provides for the procurement of tanks, armored personnel carriers and combat engineer vehicles. Funds are also in- cluded for the acquisition of machine guns, grenade launchers, towed and self-propelled guns and howitzers, laser rangefinders, associated training equipment, modification of in-service equipment, investment spares and repair parts and major components, and production base support.

Fighting vehicle system.-The Committee recommends a $9.8 million reduction in the budget allowance for the infantry fighting vehicles, in conformance with the authorizing legislation. This is to support procure- ment of 400 vehicles, the same as the budgeted program. Field artillery ammo support vehicle.-Because of program. slippage and the planned use of a stand M-109/110 howitzer chassis, the Com- mittee deleted the $4 million request for the field artillery ammunition support vehicle as premature. Recovery vehicle.-The $24.3 million reduction recommended for the M-88A1 recovery vehicle request involves a procure drop from 180 to 150 vehicles, in conformance with the authorization. M-1 combat tank.-The Committee recommends a $76.3 million in- crease in the revised budget to maintain M-1 tank production at 720 units, as supported in the March budget amendment. This is 55 tanks more than requested in the September budget revision. The Committee recommends the full budget request and authoriza- tion of $655.4 million for the weapons and other combat vehicle activ- ity. The DIVAD gun allowance is for procurement of 50 units. 9mm handgun.-The Committee has included a general provision in the bill prohibiting any spending on the evaluation or procurement of a 9mm weapon to replace the .45 and .38 caliber handguns now in mili- tary use. The intent is to halt the Army's current initiative until Con- gress can assess the need for it. The total estimated cost of replacing the 540,000 handguns now in the military inventory with 590,00 9mm pistols is $236 million-about $400 per.weapon in overall program costs. And yet Congress has never specifically authorized or funded this program, and no funds are requested even in the fiscal year 1982 budget. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M00610R000100040015-6 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040015-6 The Committee does not quarrel with the obvious cost advantages of having a handgun using standard 9mm ammunition that is compatible with NATO ordinance. But the Army acknowledges this program has a low priority, and it is clear the Army is already too deeply involved in other expensive new weapon procurement. The Committee feels this handgun initiative should be halted until Congress has an opportunity to review it and decide whether this expensive program is cost effective or even necessary at this time. PROCUREMENT OF AMMUNITION, ARMY 1981 appropriation ................................................................................................. $1,558,700,000 1982 budget estimate .............................................................................................. 2,282,500,000 House allowance ..................................................................................................... Committee recommendation ................................................................................ 2,338,400,000 The Committee recommends an appropriation of $2,338,400,000, an increase of $55,900,000 above the President's budget. This appropriation provides for the procurement of all Army ammuni- tion except missiles. Funds are also included for industrial facilities re- quired for the production of ammunition components and end items, the modernization of Army ammunition facilities (including construc- tion), and the layaway of Government-owned plants and equipment where it has been established that such facilities will be required in the event of mobilization. The Committee recommendation is displayed in the following com- parative table: Budget estimate Committee recommendation Ammunition .................................................................... $1,975,600 $1,990 600 Production base support: Provision of industrial facilities ............................. 241,800 , 251,300 Layaway of industrial facilities .............................. 29,900 29,900 Manufacturing technology program ..................... 27,900 27,900 Depot maintenance plant equipment ................... 10,300 10,300 Subtotal, production base support ................... 309,900 319,400 Inflation adjustment ....................................................... -3,000 28,400 Following is a listing of principal funding items under the ammuni- tion allowance: 7.62mm cartridge, all types .......................................... 174,748 $48,600 .50 caliber cartridge, all types ..................................... 49,533 77,100 25mm cartridge, HEIT-T ............................................... 1,020 54,100 105mm cartridge, TP-T F/tank gun ........................... 389 68,500 105mm cartridge, DS-TP .............................................. 357 82,200 155mm projectile, HE, ICM (DP) ................................. 233 116,800 155mm projectile, HE, ADAM ....................................... 15 75,600 155mm projectile, HE, RAAMS .................................... 21 58,400 8-inch projectile, HE, ICM (DP) ................................... 84 104,400 Viper antiarmor .............................................................. 59 77,400 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M00610R000100040015-6 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M00610R000100040015-6 Louisiana Army Ammunition` Plant.-The Committee recommends an increase of $15 million in the allowance for the 155mm projectile, HE, ICM _ (DP) to continue preproduction of the M-483 improved conven- tional munitions through the fiscal year 1982 funded delivery period. This munition will then transition to a new Mississippi facility the following year. It has come to the attention of the Committee that the Army is ex- periencing a shortage of metal parts for this round. In addition, the Committee recognizes the similarities between the automated metal parts line at the Louisiana Army Ammunition Plant (LAAP) and the self-contained fully automated Mississippi Army Ammunition Plant (MAAP). Until the MAAP moves to a full production status, the Com- mittee considers it prudent to keep the LAAP M-483 projectile line in an active status. The recommended amount will permit continued pro- duction of metal parts on the LAAP M-483 line at a monthly rate of 5,000 rounds per month or 60,000 rounds per year. Available funds will be used to load the 60,000 rounds to be produced in fiscal year 1982. Mississippi Army Ammunition Plant.-The Committee recommends a $9.5 million increase in the provision of industrial facilities activity to complete the Mississippi production facility. This automated plant will produce 120,000 rounds per month of the M-483 munition when com- pleted in fiscal year 1983. Viper.-The Committee recognizes the urgent need for a new, light antiarmor weapon to counter an increasingly potent armor threat. At the same time, the Committee is strongly concerned that a long-term commitment to a Viper production contract would be premature in the absence of full competitive analysis of alternative systems, foreign and domestic, which would .insure selection of the most cost-effective,. system for the mid-1980's and beyond. Despite Army contentions, the Committee is not convinced that all the technical problems which have plagued Viper's prolonged development have been satisfactorily re- solved. Its escalating costs clearly warrant the kind of competitive analysis alluded to, including a shoot-off of available candidate systems. Moreover, because of recurrent delays and slippage in the Viper IOC date, the Committee is concerned that a premature production run on Viper could result in fielding an inadequate system. Because of the urgent requirement of having a short-term replace- ment for the current M-72 LAW system, the Committee approves the use of fiscal year 1981 and fiscal year 1982 funds for production of the Viper antitank round. However, this action should not be construed as approval of Viper in its present configuration beyond the end of fiscal year 1983. The Committee directs the Army to commence testing all available light antiarmor systems, foreign and domestic beginning, within 90 days of contractor notification of availability and expression of desire to test. Competitive analysis of such alternative systems need not be concurrent. The results of all such tests shall be reported to the Appropriations Committees of the House and Senate within 60 days following com- pletion of the individual tests. Testing of all available systems shall be completed on or before July 31, 1983.

Committee recommendation .................................................................................. 3,728,071,000 The Committee recommends an appropriation of $3,728,071,000, an -, increase of $44,271,000 above the President's budget. This appropriation finances the acquisition of. (a) tactical and com- mercial vehicles including trucks, semitrailers, and trailers of all types to provide mobility and utility support to field forces and the worldwide logistical system; (b) communications and electronics equipment of all types to provide fixed, semifixed, and mobile strategic and tactical com- munications. equipment; (c) other support equipment such as chemical defensive equipment, tactical bridging, shop sets, construction equip- ment, floating and rail requipment, generators and power units, material handling equipment, medical support equipment, special equipment for user testing, and nonsystem training devices. In each of these activities funds are also included for modification of in-service equipment, invest- ment spares and repair parts, and production base support. The Committee recommendation will provide funding for the follow- ing program for fiscal year 1982: Budget estimate Committee recomendation Tactical and support vehicles .......................................... $1,029,300 $1,029,300 Communication and electronics equipment ................... 1,611,700 1,594,671 Other support equipment ................................................. 1,046,800 1,057,200 Inflation ............................................................................... - 4,000 46,900 Total ......................................................................... 3,683,800 3,728,071 COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS COMMUNICATIONS AND ELECTRONICS EQUIPMENT Radar set, artillery locating.-The Committee recommends $79 mil- lion for procurement of the AN/TPQ-37 radar set. This is a reduction of $16,000,000 below the budget estimate. The Committee has been ad- vised that the requested procurement included assets for a classified program which is currenlty being reevaluated. Funds for the AN/TPQ-- 37 assets associated with this program are no longer required in fiscal year 1982. Intelligence data handling system.-The Committee recommends $4,271,000 for the intelligence data handling system. This is a reduction of $1,029,000. Rationale for this reduction is contained in the classified annex to this report. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040015-6 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040015-6 Detector, chemical agent.-The Committee recommends $55 million for procurement of 18,000 M43A1 chemical agent detector kits. The recommendation is a reduction of $12 million below the budget es- timate. This item is a new procurement initiative in fiscal year 1982. Delays have been encountered in contracting for procurement of these kits due to provisions of the continuing resolution. Base level commercial equipment.-The Committee recommends $45,700,000 for base level commerical equipment. The recommendation is an increase of $22,400,000 above the budget estimate. The recommended adjustment will provide the Army with funds to procure investment end items with a unit cost of $3,000 and over from the proper investment appropriation rather than the operation and maintenance appropriation. The types of equipment involved include snow removal equipment, construction equipment, word processing equipment, industrial cleaning equipment, and postage meters. A corresponding reduction is reflected in the appropriation recom- mended in this report for operation and maintenance, Army.

They reflect cost adjustments and are not intended to constrain the respective programs. F/A-18 strike fighter.-Although the Committee has recommended the full $343.3 million request to procure 63 additional F/A-18 strike fighter aircraft, there is a continuing concern over the resolution of tech- nical and cost problems associated with its development and initial procurement. Criticism of the aircraft's weight, performance, and range, together with sharply rising costs, have generated widespread criticism of the program. However, the Navy and the Marine Corps have consis- tently backed the F/A-18 as a primary weapon of the carrier force. The fiscal year 1982 procurement, adding to the 60 aircraft initially procured in the previous year, should provide the necessary fighter capability for the Marine Corps as a replacement for the aging F-4 sys- tem. The Committee will expect the Navy to keep in close touch on any operational problems that develop and to keep the Committee up to date on the resolution of lingering technical and cost problems.

"Iowa" reactivation.-The Committee recommends deferring $88 million to begin reactivation of the battleship U.S.S. Iowa pending more reliable cost data and other supporting information. Re- activation of the U.S.S. New Jersey has just begun, and the Committee prefers to await cost and feasibility data from that project before con- sidering additional battleship reactivations. Landing ship dock (LSD-41).-The Committee recommends deletion of advance procurement funding and appropriation of $301 million to begin construction of this LSD vessel in fiscal year 1982, 1 year earlier than programed under the budget estimates. Helicopter assault ship.-Advance procurement of $45 million is recommended for the LHA/LHDX helicopter assault ship to permit starting construction of this vessel in 1983. There was no budget es- timate. Guided missile frigate.-The increase of $224 million for the FFG-7- class frigate would maintain the three-ship construction program in- cluded in the March budget estimates but reduced to two vessels in the September revision. This program will continue construction in two shipyards, assuring second source procurement and maintaining the in- dustrial base. Fast logistics ship (T-AKRX).-The Committee recommends total funding of $425.4 million for the acquisition and conversion of SL-7 vessels for use as fast logistics ships in support of the rapid deployment force. The allowance consists of $323 million in new appropriations and the use of $102.4 million in unobligated funds from prior years. This allowance will finance the acquisition of two vessels and conversion of four vessels instead of eight contemplated in the budget estimates. An appropriation of $60. million has been recommended, in agree- ment with the budget request, for related leasing costs under the oper- ations and maintenance account. Meanwhile, funding for T-AKX mari- time pre-positioning ship acquisition and conversion, for which $197 million was authorized, has been deferred. Acquisition, construction, and improvements, U.S. Coast Guard.-The Committee recommends an appropriation of $300 million to supple- ment the capital investment program of the U.S. Coast Guard. There was no budget estimate for this initiative. This funding is established with a provision for its immediate transfer to the U.S. Coast Guard, thus insuring Coast Guard participation in the expansion and modernization of military aircraft, vessels, and equip- ment. The U.S. Coast Guard should give full consideration to the guid- ance provided to it by the Senate Commerce Committee and the Senate Appropriations. Committee's Transportation Subcommittee in the use of these supplemental ~ funds. Appropriations directly available to the U.S. Coast Guard under the Transportation appropriations bill provided only limited funding in- creases and resulted in a reinvestment rate of under 5 percent. This ad- ditional funding will provide the Coast Guard a total of $837 million for its capital program, still less than initially requested by the Coast Guard in. the fiscal year 1982 budget formulation process. The augmented total represents a reinvestment rate of less than 8 percent. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040015-6 The Committee considers the U.S. Coast Guard an integral part of the Armed Forces, falling as it does under the command structure of the Navy during wartime. The U.S. Coast Guard supports the Navy in coastal defense, antisubmarine warfare, convoy escort, and icebreaking. Beginning in 1933, the U.S. Coast Guard and the U.S. Navy formally agreed that the U.S. Navy would provide communications equipment for U.S. Coast Guard use. This has expanded into support of a variety of modern electronics, avionics, weapons, and combat systems aboard Coast Guard cutters and aircraft today. The need for additional acquisition funding is self-evident, in the Committee's judgment. The average cost of U.S. Coast Guard cutters is 27 years, which is approaching what is normally considered the maxi- mum service life of 30 years. Many of the cutters in the fleet are 35 years old and older. Most cutters now assigned directly to drug interdic- tion efforts, for example, have an average age of 35 years. These cutters are frequently inoperative, and maintenance costs continue to soar. The General Accounting Office found in a recent survey that 70 percent of the Coast Guard cutters had problems relating to obsolete equipment, poor habitability, and excessive maintenance. The Committee recommendation is directed at helping correct these serious deficiencies.

This is the Committee's best estimate of Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M00610R000100040015-6 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040015-6 yearly cost growth, based on averages from other recent combat aircraft procurement patterns. This is a moderate estimate and considers the fact that most of the development of the improved B-1 prototype has already occurred. The same 3-percent annual cost growth increase has been applied to the budget estimate for B-1B advance procurement, amounting to a $6.8 million increase. The Committee recognizes the sharp controversy that has surrounded the President's selection of the B-1B as the best long-range combat aircraft to succeed the aging B-52 fleet. However, the Committee be- lieves this modern weapon system is essential to span the balance of the 1980's and into the 1990's pending development and production of the advance technology bomber utilizing Stealth technology. The Comittee also is aware of the challenges to the U.S. Air Force cost estimates for this upgraded aircraft. Indeed, the Committee has recognized the inevitability of cost overruns and the likelihood that in- flation rates will be higher than projected under current budget policy. It is hoped, however, that the fixed-price contracts negotiated by the U.S. Air Force will bring stability to the production of this new system and that any additional modifications not included in current estimates will not be necessary. The Committee views the B-1B not only as an interim bomber to fill the penetrating role but as a modern and capable launch platform for cruise missiles. Both of these roles are considered vital to the defense of the United States. A-10 attack aircraft.-The $20 million reduction recommended for procurement of 20 A-10 aircraft conforms to the authorization ceiling, which provided no advance procurement funding authority. F-15 air superiority fighter.-The recommended allowance for F-15 A/B/C/D aircraft provides for production of 36 instead of the 42 budgeted, a reduction of $111.6 million, in conformance with the authorization. F-16A/B.-The Committee recommends a reduction of $60.8 million to provide for procurement of 120 F-16A/B fighters, the same as the budget estimate but utilizing anticipated savings resulting from multi- year procurement. The full budget request for long-lead procurement front-end funding for multiyear contracting has been approved for the F-16. However, the Committee recommends $65.7 million in unobligated funds from prior years be applied as an offsetting reduction. This is the same amount rec- ommended for rescission by the President as part of a move to shift F-16 production to a 120-unit annual rate. KC-10A tanker aircraft.-The recommended funding for procure- ment of four KC-10A tanker aircraft restores this program to the March budget level in conformance with the authorization. Other increases.-The Committee also recommends increases of $27 million for advance procurement for MC-130H and $109.5 million for eight C-130H aircraft, pursuant to the authorization bill. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M00610R000100040015-6 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040015-6 Other reductions.-The $112.7 million reduction. in spares and repair parts is in agreement with the authorization ceiling, as are reductions of $15.6 million in F-106 fighter modification, $13.9 million in North Atlantic Treaty Organization airborne warning and control system (AWACS) support and $35.8 million in production charges, $8.1 million of it for a classified program and $27.7 million for tactical improve- ments. KC-135 re-engining.-The Department of Defense requested $250 million to re-engine and modernize the KC-135A tanker. The program for re-engining the KC-135 with CFM-56 engines is a total tanker modernization effort providing substantial fuel savings, increased fuel offload and vastly improved environmental benefits. It is noted that in 1981, Congress directed the Air Force to accelerate this program with the addition of $60 million for tooling and long-lead materials. In re- sponse, the Air Force increased the fiscal year 1982 procurement re- quest to $250 million to implement this direction. The Committee fully supports the KC-135/CFM-56 modernization program and recommends that it be fully funded at the $250 million level in fiscal year 1982. This funding will result in an efficient produc- tion schedule providing for increased savings due to inflation avoidance and fuel cost reductions with early KC-135R deliveries. The Air Force is encouraged to continue at an efficiently funded level.

The Committee understands the Air Force needs to move forward with Minuteman III deployment because of a shortage of test assets for Minuteman II. The Committee has.. approved the full $22,900,000 authorized increase in the budget for Rapier procurement. In effect, this restores the March budget level and averts a 1-year delay in the delivery of two Rapier fire units. Modification of inservice missiles.-The Committee recommends an appropriation of $82,752,000 for the modification of inservice missiles, in conformance to the authorization, including $35 million for the Minuteman extended survivable power and $2,400,000 for Titan II safety modifications. The allowance assumes the use of $22,500,000 in unobligated appropriations available from prior years. Spares and repair parts.-The $9 million increase in missile spares and repair parts is for Rapier systems spares, and conforms to the authorization. Special programs.-Recommended changes in special programs are treated in the Committee's classified annex to the report. NA VSTAR global positioning system.-The Committee -has provided the full budget estimate for the NAVSTAR-GPS satellite system so as to prevent any further slippage in the currently planned initial opera- tional capability (IOC) date. The Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to consider the NAVSTAR-GPS system as a candidate for multiyear procurement and to consider utilizing the cost savings from Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040015-6 multiyear procurement for deployment of the original 24-satellite con- stellation rather than the currently planned 18-satellite constellation. The Committee further directs the Secretary of Defense to formulate a program to make NAVSTAR-GPS available, on a user-fee basis, to both nondefense governmental and civilian users in a secure manner that will provide for the recouping of as much of the development, ac- quisition and operating costs of the GPS system as is deemed feasible. Defense support program.-The Committee recommends $230,254,000 for the defense support program (DSP) under a multiyear increment- ally-funded concept. The DSP satellites contain sensors which provide near real-time data to the national command authorities and other designated users. The recommended appropriation will initiate a block procurement of four satellites with incremental funding through fiscal year 1986. The Committee has long adhered to the concept of full funding of defense procurement programs. However, allowing a block-buy of the four satellites on an incremental basis with funding for long-lead time items is estimated to save a minimum of $130 million. The savings will accrue from more efficient material and subcontract parts procurement and reductions in inspections, testing and program support. On this basis, the Committee recommends the use of multiyear, incremental- funded procedures for this program.

Committee recommendation ............................................................................... 5,357,589,000 The Committee recommends an appropriation of $5,357,589,000 for "Other procurement, Air Force." The recommendation is an increase of $183,445,000 above the budget estimate. This appropriation provides for the procurement of weapons systems and equipment other than aircraft and missiles. Included are munitions, other weapons, vehicles, electronic and telecommunications systems for command and control of operational forces, and ground support equip- ment for weapons systems and supporting structure. The Committee recommendation will provide funding for the follow- ing program for fiscal year 1982: [In thousands of dollars] Budget estimate Committee recommendation Munitions and associated equipment .............................. $1,114,699 $1,104,699 Vehicular equipment ......................................................... 337,002 337,002 Electrpnics and telecommunications equipment............ 1,123,601 194,601 Other base maintenance and support equipment......... 2,604,842 2,576,787 Selected activities ...................................................................................... 59,000 Inflation ..................... :......................................................... -6,000 65,500 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M00610R000100040015-6 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040015-6 MUNITIONS AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT 30mm API cartridge.-The Committee recommends $222,619,000 for procurement of the 30mm API cartridge. The recommendation is a reduction of $10,000,000 from the budget estimate. The Committee notes that a substantial increase in quantity of cartridges to be procured caused the existing contract to be renegotiated and the savings will result from the new contract. The Committee recommends a $71 million increase, in conformance with the authorization, for PAVE PAWS radar system procurement associated with establishing a strategic warning site in the Southeastern United States. These phased array radars provide important detection capability for surface launched ballistic missiles. This funding is associated with $38 million in research and development recommended under title V of the bill. OTHER BASE MAINTENANCE AND SUPPORT EQUIPMENT Depot plant and materials handling equipment.-The Committee recommends $20,000 for the category items less than $900,000. This category provides a wide range of industrial plant equipment such as mills, lathes, grinders,. saws, welders, and furnaces. The Committee notes that a substantial increase is requested in the budget estimate above the allowance for fiscal year 1981. The recommendation is a reduction of $3,025,000 below the budget estimate and will provide for an increase of $1,200,000 above the fiscal year 1981 allowance. Base mechanization equipment.-The Committee recommends $8,300,000 for base mechanization equipment. Equipment procured in this category includes roller conveyors, monorails, driverless tractors, bridge cranes, automatic stock picker equipment and associated process control systems. The Committee notes that the Air Force canceled or postponed re- quirements financed under this activity exceeding $6,000,000. It would appear that a reduction of $5,030,000 can be effected from the budget request. Selected activities.-The Committee recommends an increase of $59,000,000 for selected activities. A discussion of the rationale for this increase is included in the classified annex to this report. PROCUREMENT, DEFENSE AGENCIES 1981 appropriation ..................................................................................................... $321,464,000 1982 budget estimate .................................................................................................. 512,200,000 House allowance ......................................................................................................... Committee recommendation .................................................................................... - 518,700,000 The Committee recommends an appropriation of $518,700,000, an in- crease of $6,500,000 above the budget estimate. The increase is to provide funds to accommodate the abnormal inflation costs above the rate projected in the budget estimate. This appropriation provides for procurement of capital equipment for the Defense Communications Agency, the Defense Investigative Service, the Defense Mapping Agency, the Defense Logistics Agency, and other agencies of the Department of Defense. The fiscal year 1982 program in- Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040015-6 cludes procurement of automatic data processing equipment, mechani- cal materials handling systems, general and special-purpose vehicular equipment, communications equipment, and mapping, charting, and geodetic equipment. PROGRAMS AND AcrtvrrmEs Defense Communications Agency.-An appropriation of $14,697,000 is recommended for procurement of mission-essential equipment for the Defense Communications Agency.

Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences.-An appropria- tion of $1.1 million is recommended for the cost of equipment for the operation of the School of Medicine in the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences. Special activities.-An appropriation of $447,058,000 is recommended for the procurement of equipment to support a number of special ac- tivities of the Department of Defense. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M00610R000100040015-6 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040015-6 TITLE V RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT, TEST, AND EVALUATION The fiscal year 1982 Department of Defense budget for research, development, test and evaluation totaled $20,319,388,000. The accom- panying Senate bill contains $20,844,389,000. This is a net increase of $525,001,000 from the revised fiscal year 1982 budget. The following table summarizes the budget estimates and Committee recom- mendations: Budget estimate Committee recommendation Research, development, test and evaluation, Army...... $3,768,500 $3,759,409 Research, development, test and evaluation, Navy ...... 5,885,488 6,111,579 Research, development, test and evaluation, Air Force ............................................................................... 8,823,400 9,076,906 Research, development, test and evaluation, Defense Agencies ......................................................................... 1,789,000 1,843,495 Director, test and evaluation, Defense ........................... 53,000 53,000 The funding requirement for defensewide research, development, test, and evaluation is approximately one-third that of either the procure- ment or operations and maintenance accounts in the fiscal year 1982 defense program. Because research, development, test, and evaluation is proportionately smaller, there is a tendency to give research, develop- ment, test and evaluation less scrutiny when defense appropriations are made. The Committee notes at the outset that the research, develop- ment, test and evaluation account was scrutinized this year to ensure that only those new developmental programs truly deserving of transi- tion to engineering development and deployment receive funding sup- port. Because new program starts initiate in research, development, test, and evaluation, it serves as an important driver in future procurement and operations and maintenance cost requirements. The principal cri- teria used by the Committee in making its decisions on research, development, test, and evaluation program funding were whether the program clearly meets essential military requirements and cost-effective- ness considerations. U.S. defense needs are far too great for Congress to fund programs having marginal military utility, serious performance deficiencies or the net effect of constraining budgetary support for essential defense pro- grams. The Committee believes that hard choices had to be made con- cerning termination or restructuring of such programs, so that essential efforts receive full funding support. For these reasons, the Committee Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M00610R000100040015-6 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040015-6 has chosen to terminate or restructure research and development pro- grams rather than "nickle and dime" necessary programs across the board. In doing so, the Committee has strengthened, rather than weakened, the U.S. defense research and development program. The Committee has acted to not fund the CX air transport program and to terminate the Army standoff target acquisition system (SOTAS). It has sought to save program management and support overhead costs through reductions in consultants and management support costs. It has moved to restructure programs, such as DARPA's Project SORAK, the Navy F/A-18 research and development effort and certain other pro- grams, which it believes can be successfully accomplished at a more restrained pace. In making these choices, the Committee has supported other programs beyond the budget request where they appeared to be seriously underfunded. The Committee supports the development of technologies that poten- tially make an order of magnitude difference in U.S. defense capa- bilities. Consequently, it strongly supports the technology base budget activities of each of the Services and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) programs. Technology base programs fund basic research and exploratory development, with the goal of increasing scientific and technical knowledge needed to maintain U.S. techno- logical superiority and lead to the development of cost-effective wea- pons systems. DARPA programs invest funding in high-risk tech- nologies that permit rapid exploitation for high military payoff. Because Soviet military research and development investment is exceeding that of the United States by ever-increasing margins, the Committee believes that strong support for these programs is essential. The Committee notes that serious deficiencies exist in many Depart- ment of Defense . university and in-house laboratories. These defi- ciencies, underscored by the 1981 Defense Science Board summer brief- ing report on the technology base, include critical personnel shortages, an aging population of scientists, and an immediate need to produce more scientists in the future. These problems are of even greater significance considering the fact that technologies that could make an order of magnitude difference in the military balance in the future (very high-speed integrated circuits, Stealth, advanced software, etc.) need to be vigorously pursued. The Committee encourages efforts to improve Department of Defense university and laboratory quality through educational incentives and sustained investment. The Committee believes that the research, development, test and evaluation program recommended in the bill will significantly improve future U.S. defense capabilities and provide for much needed force modernization. RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT, TEST, AND EVALUATION, ARMY 1981 appropriation .................................................................................................. $3,127,774,000 1982 amended request ............................................................................................ 3,768,500,000 House allowance ...................................................................................................... Committee recommendation .................................................................................. 3,759,409,000 The Committee recommends an appropriation of $3,759,409,000, a reduction of $9,091,000 in the budget request for fiscal year 1982. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M00610R000100040015-6 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040015-6 PROGRAMS AND AcrtvmEs The budget activities and programs funded under this appropriation are discussed below. These activities and programs require annual au- thorization prior to appropriations pursuant to the provisions of section 412(b) of Public Law 86-149, as amended. Technology base ............................................................... $596,062 $619,377 Advanced technology development ................................. .218,120 213,556 Strategic programs ............................................................ 480,568 464,068 Tactical programs .............................................................. 1,660,700 1,624,816 Intelligence and. communications .................................... 68,299 47,297 Defensewide mission support .......................................... 749,751 761,795 Inflation ............................................................................... -51000 28,500 The recommended program includes $619,377,000 for technology base. This activity finances basic research and exploratory development with the primary objective of increasing the store of fundamental scien- tific knowledge adaptable to the solution of widely varying future Army requirements. A strong technology base is needed in order to (1) maintain technological superiority in military weapons, thus offsetting adversary numerical advantages, (2) avoid technological surprise that could cause premature obsolescence of major weapons systems, and (3) lead to acquisition of effective but less costly capabilities by using innovative products built on new technology. The Committee recommends the following major changes to the budget estimate in Army technology base programs, in accordance with the authorization: Budget Committee estimate recommendation Budget Committee estimate recommendation Defense research sciences .............................................. $161,811 $166,000 Aircraft avionics technology ....................... ............:......... 6,107 5,977 Small caliber fire control technology .............................. 8,516 11,500 A. services food sys. tech ............................................... 5,736 5,569 *- Defense research sciences.-The Committee recommends an appropria- tion of $166,000,000 for defense research sciences. This is an increase of $4,189,000 over the revised request. The Committee notes that the March request was $172,311,000, and that even with this reduction, the fiscal year 1982 budget will still receive a major increase in-investment needed to upgrade the Army's research capabilities. Chemical munitions.-The Committee recommends an appropriation of $20,528,000 for the Army chemical munitions program. Any reduc- tion would delay the timely development of the technology base for the binary intermediate volatility agent (IVA), chemical munitions concepts and new agent technology and delay engineering development of chemi- cal warheads for the corps support weapons system (CSWS) and mul- tiple launch rocket system (MLRS). Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M00610R000100040015-6 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040015-6 Ballistic technology.-The Committee recommends an appropriation of $23,912,000 for the Army's ballistics technology program. The full budget request is required to initiate the first phase of the construction of the artillery command and experiment model and apply the model to the analyses of tactical artillery scenarios and also make a 60GHz mm wave sensor for use onboard an air defense smart bullet. Chemical/biological defense and general investigation.-The Commit- tee recommends an appropriation of $22,970,000 for the Army's chem- ical/biological defense and general investigation program. The full fund- ing request will complete exploratory development for a protective mask and initiate exploratory development on a combined nuclear, biological, and chemical detection alarm system to reduce logistics burdens. High-energy laser technology.-The Committee recommends an ap- propriation of $24,956,000 for high-energy laser technology. The entire budget request is recommended for approval because a higher rate of funding will permit an accelerated design effort for the Army close combat laser weapon (CCLAW/Roadrunner) and the forward laser wea- pon-demonstrator projects. Both of these projects involve development of fire control subsystems. Small caliber fire control technology.-The Committee recommends an appropriation of $5,500,000 for the Army's small caliber fire control technology program. The funding for this program will further advance testing of the advanced combat rifle program and special purpose am- munition. ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT The recommended program includes $213,556,000 for advanced tech- nology development. This activity provides for exploration of alterna- tives and concepts prior to development of specific weapons systems. New technological developments are pursued which are not formally identified to specific operational requirements. This effort includes feasi- bility demonstrations of innovative new concepts and emphasizes hard- ware competition and pursuit of alternate solutions to potential military problems. Particular emphasis is placed on demonstrating new concepts to provide improved land warfare capabilities in the 1980's and 1990's, including land and helicopter vehicles and related propulsion and elec- tronics technology, land warfare target detection, acquisition and weapon technology, chemical/biological defense, training and personnel technology, and medical developments related to combat personnel. The Committee recommends the following changes in the budget re- quest for advanced technology development in accordance with the authorization: Budget estimate Committee recommendation Materials scale-up ............................................................. $5,426 $4,000 Synthetic flight simulators ................................................ 7,773 6,000 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040015-6 Advanced development of automatic lest equipment.-The Committee was informed that The Commanding General of Development and Readiness Command (DARCOM) recommended to the Department of the Army that, after a- review of the direct support automatic test sup- port system (DS-ATSS) solicitations on the request for quotation (RFQ), the program was not executable within available resources be- cause of cost, schedule, and technical risks. The need for DS-ATSS and the need to standardize the automated test equipment were not ques- tioned. The Army is revising a new RFQ for DS-ATSS which will restructure the program to allow for a concept demonstration with representative user systems, followed by engineering development and operational testing. The Army notified the Committee that this revision will leave $4,700,- 000 unobligated in fiscal year 1981. In the absence of any reprograming proposal, the Committee believes these funds should be used to cover any increased costs in the fiscal year 1982 program. The recommended program includes $464,068,000 for - strategic programs. This activity provides for all research and development efforts on strategic offensive, defensive, and control systems. Primary emphasis is on ballistic missile defense. The Committee recommends the following changes to the budget es- timate, in accordance with-the authorization: [In thousands of dollars] Budget Committee estimate recommendation BMD systems technology .............................. :.................. $353,685 $336,685 Electric power modernization ............................................................... 500 Ballistic missile defense.-The Committee recommends an appropria- tion of $336,685,000 for the ballistic missile defense (BMD) systems technology program. The Committee has consistently supported this program in previous years; and it believes an accelerated development effort on the low-altitude defense (LOADS) program is essential if the_. United States is to maintain the option for deployment of a BMD sys- tem for the MX missile. The Committee also continues to support exploratory research in the area of strategic missile materials. The hardened ballistic missile defense materials program supports the necessary materials technology base by developing specialized materials and technologies and by continually as- sessing U.S. materials, capabilities, and limitations vis-a-vis Soviet capa- bilities. The Committee recognizes the potential of this research to programs such as BMD and strategic systems. It -believes that some $6 million in program funding could be dedicated to hardened BMD materials research. This materials research is to be coordinated with the Army's research in materials program. Electric power modernization.-The Committee recommends an ap- propriation of $500,000 for electric power modernization. This appro- priation would provide the fully authorized amount for the electric Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040015-6 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040015-6 power modernization of Army critical facilities. The program will up- grade the electrical power systems to all critical Army command posts, sensor sites, and other high-priority locations. TACTICAL PROGRAMS The recommended program includes $1,624,816,000 for tactical pro- grams. This activity provides for advanced, engineering, and operational systems development efforts on all aspects related to all conflict levels of tactical warfare, with emphasis on land warfare, and battlefield air mobility, and related combat support. This includes developments to improve the Army's capabilities in the combat missions of battlefield surveillance, close combat, aerial and surface fire support, field army air defense, and mine warfare, plus improved capability in the related sup- port missions of air and surface mobility, logistics-personnel support, communications, command and control, navigation, position locating, electronic warfare, physical security, and chemical/biological defense. The Committee recommends the following major changes to the budget estimate, in accordance with the authorization: [in thousands of dollars] Budget Committee estimate recommendation Joint services small arms program ................................. $3,529 $5,500 Airdrop equipment development ...................................... 3,126 2,926 Combat feeding, clothing, and equipment ..................... 3,536 2,536 Remotely piloted vehicles ........................... :..................... 36,384 73.348 Standoff target acquisition system .................................. 69,776 .......................... Battlefield data system ........................................................................... 5,000 Satcom ground environment ............................................ 36,438 41,638 Synthetic flight simulators.-The Committee recommends an ap- propriation of $6,000,000 for synthetic flight simulators. Any cut would severely delay the development of the future capabilities for the AH-64 synthetic flight simulator. These include advanced development and demonstration of a dual channel cathode ray visual display system capable of high resolution out to the maximum effective ranges of aerial weapons. Single channel ground airborne radio subsystem (SINCGARS).-The Committee recommends an appropriation of $15,225,000 for the pro- gram. The Committee reiterates the position expressed in the fiscal year 1981 supplemental report that it is prudent to continue development of two methods of providing antijam capability for Army communi- cations-both fast and slow frequency hopping. Funding of both methods through the operational test period for SINCGARS (June 1982) should continue. Nevertheless, the Committee is supportive of ef- forts to expedite the process for selecting which of the three radios un- der development should be recommended for procurement. Remotely monitored battlefield sensor system (REMBASS) pro- gram.-The Committee recommends $6,948,000 for the unattended ground sensors program. The Committee believes that it is essential to reinstate this program. The fiscal year 1982 REMBASS program will continue research and development for hand-placed sensors and allow for development/operational tests (DT/OT) II in fiscal year 1982. Approveos or release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061 OR000100040015-6 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040015-6 Standoff target acquisition systems (SOTAS).-The Committee recom- mends termination of SOTAS. The Committee acknowledges that a valid Army requirement exists for the development of an airborne radar system to detect and locate targets at the forward edge of the bat- tlefield. However, the unsatisfactory preformance of SOTAS should not be rewarded. In the past year and a half the total acquisition cost of SOTAS has risen by over 250 percent to $2.4 billion, and the date of initial operating capability has slipped by several years. Battlefield data systems.-The Committee recommends an appropria- tion of $5 million to examine alternatives to SOTAS in the battlefield data systems program. Landmine warfare.-The Committee recommends an appropriation of $8,146,000 for landmine warfare. The funding is needed to initiate en- gineering development of the off-route antitank mine system as well as to conduct final engineering development for the modular pack mine system. Force level maneuver and control system.-The Committee recom- mends an appropriation of $14,869,000 for the force level maneuver and control system. The Committee recommends the full appropriation in order to maintain the simulation and gaming methods for analysis (SIGMA) project, which will provide battlefield commanders with an automated system for processing data in a battlefield environment. This has been identified by the Army as an urgent requirement. Satellite communication (SATCOM) ground environment.-The Com- mittee recommends an appropriation of $41,638,000 for the develop- ment of tactical single- and multichannel terminals for the Army (SATCOM ground environment). The increase of $5,200,000 over the budget request will provide for the transition to more survivable sys- tems capable of operating in a nuclear environment. Remotely piloted vehicles (RPV).-The Committee recommends an ap- propriation of $73,348,000 for RPV. This recommendation restores the RPV program to its budgeted level prior to the September revision. The Committee notes that RPV's hold great promise for performing a variety of missions (target acquisition, reconnaissance, etcetera). Joint tactical communications program.-The Committee recommends an appropriation of $48,107,000 for the Army's joint tactical communica- tions program. Joint services small arms program (JSSAP).-The Committee recom- mends an appropriation of $11,500,000 for the joint services small arms program. This funding will enable the Army to conduct new JSSAP efforts such as lightweight M-60 machinegun, 7.62 mm SLAP, and the combat shotgun. The Department of Defense annually spends billions of dollars, yet failed this year to make the relatively small investment needed to mod- ernize U.S. small arms. Joint services small arms program officers and the Foreign Science and Technology Center have amply documented the fact that the U.S.-Soviet small arms gap is widening due to a sus- tained Soviet small arms modernization program and a lagging U.S. program. This funding increase will only partially restore the JSSAP/small caliber fire control technology funding increases required to close the U.S.-Soviet small arms gap. The Committee supports these Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M00610R000100040015-6 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040015-6 programs, and encourages efforts to-further modernize U.S. small arms technology in future years. Synthetic flight training system.-The Committee recommends an ap- propriation of $8,333,000 for the synthetic flight training system pro- gram. Any reduction would defer initiation of engineering development of the AH-64 mission simulator. Aircraft weapons fire control.-The Committee recommends an ap- propriation of $10,312,000 for aircraft weapons fire control. Any reduc- tion would delay by 1 year the effort to develop adverse weather/night fire control systems for the AH-1S, AH-64A, and scout helicopters. INTELLIGENCE AND COMMUNICATIONS The recommended program includes $47,297,000 for intelligence and communications. This activity provides for advanced, full scale engi- neering and operational systems development efforts in intelligence, worldwide communications, and other defensewide mission support. The Committee recommends the following changes to the budget es- timate, in accordance with the recommendations of the authorization conference: Budget Committee estimate recommendation Navigation system using timing and ranging-global positioning system (NAVSTAR-GPS) user equip- ment ................................................................................ $21,002........................... NAVSTAR-GPS user equipment.-The Committee recommends de- letion of the $21,002,000 budget. request for NAVSTAR user equip- ment. This action conforms to the uthorization. DEFENSEWIDE MISSION SUPPORT The recommended program includes $761,795,000 for defensewide mission support. This activity provides for efforts directed toward sup- port of installations or operations required for use in general research and development and not allocable to specific missions. Included are technical integration efforts, technical information activities, major test ranges, test facilities and general test instrumentation, target devel- opment, support of user test, international cooperative research and development, and other research and development support. The Committee recommends the following changes to the budget es- timate, in accordance with the authorization: [in thousands of dollars] Budget estimate Committee recommendation Programwide activities ...................................................... $67,815 $68,815 Development and readiness command ........................... 292,109 297,653 Programwide activities.-The Committee recommends an appropria- tion of $68,815,000 for programwide activities. This is an increase of $1 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040015-6 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040015-6 million over the revised budget estimate and conforms to authorization. The Committee's recommendation will provide for full funding of much needed Army research and development laboratory upgrades. Development and Readiness Command (DARCOM).-The Committee recommends an appropriation of $297,563,000 for the Army's DARCOM. This recommendation conforms to the congressional author- ization, and is $5,544,000 above the revised budget request. A denial of full funding for DARCOM would severely impair the White Sands Missile Range radar program and the Aberdeen and Dugway base maintenance and repair programs. ITEMS OF SPECIAL INTEREST, ARMY Rotary wing aircraft escape system.-The Committee recommends an appropriation of $1 million to evaluate and demonstrate the feasibility and cost effectiveness of adapting the rotor system research aircraft es- cape system for triservice combat applications. The statement of the managers accompanying the fiscal year 1981 Defense Appropriations Act directed the Army to evaluate and dem- onstrate within existing funds the feasibility and cost effectiveness of this system. However, the fiscal year has ended and the directed study efforts are still pending. The Committee notes the recent loss of lives in an advanced attack helicopter (AAH) prototype crash and Iranian SEA Cobra losses to Soviet-built air defense sytems in the Iraqi/Iranian conflict. The Committee believes the rotor system research aircraft escape system of- fers potential increased survivability for combat crewmen. The Army is encouraged to demonstrate and evaluate this existing technology on a timely basis. Army calibration equipment.-The Committee agrees that the Army should assemble an accurate data base concerning its calibration re- quirements, so that the cost effectiveness of alternate systems, including those manufactured by Julie Research Laboratories, Inc., can be fully and fairly evaluated. This action does not restrict in any way the Army's authority to purchase calibration equipment during fiscal year 1982. The Committee expects the Secretary of the Army to certify to the Ap- propriations Committees of both Houses of Congress that the Army will conduct a fair and comprehensive comparative test of automated cali- bration equipment prior to the end of fiscal year 1982.

PROGRAMS . AND AcrrvmEs The budget activities and programs funded under this appropriation are discussed below. These activities and programs require annual au- thorization prior to appropriations pursuant to the provisions of section 412(b) of Public Law 86-149, as amended. The recommended program includes $790,231,000 for technology base. This activity finances basic research and exploratory development with the primary objective of increasing the store of fundamental scien- tific knowledge adaptable to the solution of widely varying future Navy requirements. A strong technology base is needed in order to (1) maintain technological superiority in military weapons, thus offsetting adversary numerical advantages,. (2) avoid technological surprise that could cause premature obsolescence of major weapons systems, and (3) lead to acquisition of effective but less costly capabilities by using innovative products built on new technology. The Committee recommends the following major changes to the budget estimate, in accordance with the authorization: [In thousands of dollars] x Budget estimate Committee recommendation Human factors/simulation technology ........................ $7,973 $6,973 Materials technology ..................................................... 32,428 34,428 Directed energy technology ......................................... 6,993 8,000 Materials technology.-The Committee recommends the addition of $2,000,000 in accordance with the authorization act. These funds will provide for development of metal matrix composite materials as sub- stitutes for critical strategic materials now in short supply. Directed energy technology.-The Committee recommends an ap- propriation of $8,000,000 for directed energy technology. This recom- mendation conforms to authorization and is $1,007,000 above the re- vised budget request. Any reduction will severely impair laser weapon, charged particle beam and pulsed power technology efforts of the Navy. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040015-6 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040015-6 ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT The recommended program includes $172,965,000 for advanced tech- nology development. This activity provides for exploration of alterna- tives and concepts prior to development of specific weapons systems. New technological developments are pursued which are not formally identified to specific operational requirements. This effort includes feasibility demonstrations of innovative new concepts and emphasizes hardware competition and pursuit of alternate solutions to potential military problems. Particular emphasis is placed on demonstrating new concepts to provide improved naval warfare capability in the 1980's and 1990's, including naval air, surface and subsurface vehicle and related propulsion and electronics technology, undersea and ocean surveillance, naval warfare target detection, acquisition and weapon technology and training and personnel technology. The Committee recommends the following changes to the budget es- timate in accordance with the authorization: Budget Committee estimate recommendation Human factors engineering development ................... $4,150 $3,650 Advanced marine biological system ............................ 4,089 3,789 MC diesel rotary engine ...................................................................... 9,700 United States Marine Corps high horsepower engine.-The Committee recommends an appropriation of $9,700,000 for the development of the rotary engine for the United. States Marine Corps for the landing ve- hicle tracked (experimental) and MPWS (mobile protected weapons sys- tem). The Navy states that the entire amount can be spent efficiently. Training device technology.-The Committee recommends an ap- propriation of $8,252,000 for training device technology. This recom- mendation conforms to the authorization request. Medical development.-The Committee recommends an appropriation of $11,644,000 for medical development. This conforms to the budget request and authorization. Human factors engineering development.-The Committee recom- mends an appropriation of $3,650,000 for human factors engineering development. This is $500,000 below the budget request. Advanced marine biological systems.-The Committee recommends an appropriation of $3,789,000 for advanced marine biological systems. This is $300,000 below the budget request. The recommended program includes $544,111,000 for strategic pro- grams. This activity provides for all research and development efforts on strategic offensive, defensive, and control systems. Primary emphasis is on development to assure continued viability of sea-based nuclear second strike capability. The Committee recommends the following change to the budget es- timate, in accordance with the authorization: Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M00610R000100040015-6 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89MOO610ROO0100040015-6 Budget Committee estimate recommendation Gryphon .......................................................................... $22,260 $25,760 Trident II submarine launched ballistic missile (SLBM).-The Com- mittee recommends an appropriation of $239,542,000 for the Trident II SLBM. The Trident II (D-5) is being developed to obtain a large throw-weight SLBM with greater range, accuracy, and payload charac- teristics than the Trident I. The Committee believes that deployment of the Trident II SLBM on Ohio-class Trident SSBN's will significantly advance and improve United States strategic counterforce capabilities. Moreover, it is also an important hedge against uncertainties in the development of new U.S. land-based and air-based strategic systems. Extremely low frequency (ELF).-The Committee has received the Defense Department report on the ELF communications project. ELF is a shore-to-submarine communications for command and control of submarines which permits signal reception at deeply submerged opera- tional depths. Testimony before this Committee clearly defined the con- tinued operational requirement for an ELF system for the enhancement of ballistic missile submarine, nuclear (SSBN) survivability against the improved Soviet antisubmarine warfare threat. The Committee recom- mends an appropriation of $34,830,000 for the development of the ELF communications system. Gryphon.-The Committee recommends an appropriation of $25,760,- 000 for the Navy's Gryphon program. This is an increase of $3,500,000 above the budget request, and conforms to authorization. This funding increase provides for on-going research in survivable, enduring com- munications. The funding will initiate work on meteor burst communi- cation to determine the ability to provide ground-air, air-ground and air-air connectivity. These technologies will help redress critical vulnera- bilities of current EHF and VHF systems. The recommended program includes $3,752,894,000 for tactical pro- grams. This activity provides for advanced, engineering, and operational systems development efforts on all aspects related to all conflict levels of tactical warfare, with emphasis on sea control, Navy and Marine Corps air operations, Marine Corps amphibious operations, and related combat support. This includes developments to improve the De- partment of the Navy's capabilities in the combat missions of ocean surface surveillance and targeting, undersea surveillance, antisurface (including interdiction and air defense suppression), antiair (including air superiority), antisubmarine, amphibious and special warfare, and naval mine warfare, plus improved capability in the related support missions of air and surface mobility, logistics/resupply/transfer, per- sonnel support, early warning, communications, command and control, tactical intelligence and reconnaissance, navigation, identification, position locating, traffic control, electronic warfare, physical security and developments related to major multimission naval vehicles.

Major surface combatant (DDG-X).-The Committee recommends an appropriation of $101,000,000 for research and development for a new major surface combatant, the DDG-X destroyer. This funding will sup- port the development of. :ship design, combat systems,. a lightweight sonar, SPY-1 derivative radar and DDG-X combat systems integration. The DDG-X will have the following weapons systems: Vertical launch cells capable of launching Tomahawk, antiaircraft war- fare (AAW) and antisubmarine warfare (ASW) missiles; Canister launched Harpoon antiship missiles; Seafire/5-inch SAL guided projectile. The Committee believes that the Navy Department's report to the Committee satisfies the Committee's concern, expressed. in the fiscal year 1981 supplemental conference report, that there be precise defini- tion of DDG-X engineering goals and performance specifications. The Committee is convinced that the present DDG-X plan, incorporating distributed combat systems data processing architecture; the above men- tioned combat systems and the. Seafire laser illumination/5-inch semi-ac- . tive laser guided -projectile systems, will make the DDG-X an offen- sively capable ship. The trade-offs involved between obtaining increased offensive capa- bility and affordability are not easy ones to make, but the Committee Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040015-6 believes that the current combat weapons system plan for the DDG-X will give the Navy a capable surface combatant. The DDG-X will be able to operate offensively as units of carrier battle groups and surface action groups against multiple threats-air, surface, and submarine. The Committee strongly supports the DDG-X program. Fire control system electro optics (Seafire).-The Committee recom- mends an appropriation of $24,000,000 for fire control systems electro optics. This appropriation, will accommodate inclusion of the Seafire electro-optical fire control subsystem into the Navy's fiscal year 1982 fire control systems electro-optics program, along with the infrared search and track (IRST) system. This appropriation is within fiscal year 1982 authorization limits. Seafire has been identified to the Committee by Secretary of the Navy as an important subsystem component in the Navy's revised DDG-X design plans, assuming its performance meets criteria specified in the OPTEVFOR test and evaluation plan. Seafire will give U.S. surface ships a passive fire control capability to conduct gunfire during periods of emission control (EMCON) or heavy jamming. The 5-inch semiactive laser guided projectile is to be used as the munition for this antisurface/strike warfare combination. The Committee has strongly supported Seafire in the past, and con- tinues to believe that Seafire electro-optical fire control system technol- ogy can help address critical surface ship fire control deficiencies iden- tified by the Navy. The Committee notes that the Soviet Union has deployed electro-optical fire control systems on five classes of surface ships. Medium-range air-to-surface missile (MRASM).-The Committee agrees to the restructuring of MRASM program necessitated by the ad- ministrations fiscal year 1982 budget revisions. The Committee deletes $19,100,000 from the Navy MRASM request which will reduce the in- frared (IR) Maverick effort and force a 1-year slip in the program. Ship system engineering standard (SEAMOD).-The Committee recommends an appropriation of $10,000,000 for the Navy SSES program, also known as SEAMOD. The SSES program objective to develop engineering standards to permit modularity in the design of ship hull and payloads. The Committee concurs with findings of the authorization conference that this program is underfunded. The purpose of the SSES program is to: Develop and generate ship systems engineering standards for the ac- quisition of variable payload ships; Design a first application ship in the area of interface standards; and Emplace within the shipbuilding community the necessary construc- tion technology and information concerning the SSES program to per- mit procurement of the variable payload ship in a cost-effective and timely manner. V/HXM U.S. Marine Corps helicopter.-The Committee recommends an appropriation of $5,229,000 for the U.S. Marine Corps HXM helicop- ter. The Committee notes that the U.S. Marine Corps has documented a requirement for a medium-lift helicopter with an initial operating capability in the early 1990's. Postponement of this badly needed pro- gram will only serve to further erode U.S. Marine Corps ship-to-shore Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M00610R000100040015-6 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040015-6 amphibious assault capabilities. A firm decision on hardware is due in the 1983 timeframe. Attack submarine development.-The Navy requested $9,947,000 for attack submarine development. The Committee concurs with the conclu- sion of the authorization conference that no justifiable need exists to ex- amine follow-on or future attack submarine designs. The Committee recommends an appropriation of $4,968,000 to be used for project 51256-AS, submarine cost reduction. Light airborne multipurpose system (LAMPS) MK III helicopter.- The Committee recommends an appropriation of $73,800,000 for the LAMPS MK III weapons system. The Committee fully supports the ex- tended range capabilities that LAMPS will provide for the antisub- marine warfare (ASW) mission, and its antiship surveillance and target- ing (ASST) utility. However, the Committee is strongly critical of the Navy's inability to control cost growth in the LAMPS MK III program. Most of this cost growth has been identified in the procurement, rather than research and development, aspect of the acquisition process. The December 1980 selected acquisition report (SAR) estimated total LAMPS MK III sys- tem acquisition costs to be $6,700,000,000, for a difference of $1,478,- 000,000 over the estimate in the December 1979 SAR. Moreover, the Navy has identified potential additional cost risks as being in the engine, the airframe, avionics and ship electronics. While recommending in full the fiscal year 1982 LAMPS research and development request, the Committee urges the Navy to pursue the potential cost reduction/avoidance items outlined in the March 1981 LAMPS Mark III cost assessment team congressional report. Advanced lightweight torpedo (ALWT.).-The Committee recommends an appropriation of $106,014,000 for the ALWT. The Committee be- lieves that the revised development schedules for the advanced light- weight torpedo are reasonable, and that a valid operational requirement for ALWT clearly exists. The Committee is not convinced that foreign-source alternatives-to ALWT are capable of critical evaluation at the present time. However, the Committee is supportive of Navy Department efforts to exchange lightweight torpedo information with British officials. The Committee notes that General Accounting Office proposals with respect to United Kingdom/United States lightweight torpedo information exchange are being implemented by the Department of Defense. F/A-18 aircraft.-The Navy requested $224,583,000 in fiscal year 1982 for continued research and development of the F/A-18 aircraft. This funding will be used to flight test the F/A-18, complete its opera- tional evaluation and complete roll rate modifications and the weight reduction program. The Committee understood, from written answers to Committee ques- tions from the Department of the Navy, that the F/A-18 research and development program for fiscal year 1982 was deficient by $51.5 mil- lion. This deficiency was identified in early spring, but was not added to the revised fiscal year 1982 budget until the third budget revision in autumn. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040015-6 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040015-6 The Committee expresses its concern over the magnitude of the research and development funding requirements for the F/A-18 pro- gram, and acknowledges that all technical problems associated with F/A-18 development must be resolved before commitment to higher, more economical rates or production. The Committee recommends $190,000,000 for F/A-18 research and development. Avionics development.-The Committee recommends an appropriation of $13,000,000 for avionics development. This recommendation is predi- cated upon the Office of the Secretary of Defense meeting the criteria #' for qualification for the AYK-14 computer agreed upon by the au- thorization conference. Area air defense (battle group antiair warfare coordination).-The Committee recommends an appropriation of $45,046,000 for area air defense. This recommendation is $10,600,000 above the budget request. The additional funding will be used to improve correlation of targets between ships and battle management by permitting electronic response between AEGIS and non-AEGIS ships. Gas turbine fuel efficiency.-The Committee recommends an ap- propriation of $7,000,000 for gas turbine fuel efficiency. This recommen- dation permits initiation of a program to improve the fuel efficiency of naval gas turbine propulsion systems. The funding will start a program to build and test two Navy LM 2500 engines. Preliminary indications are that substantial savings can result from such an improvement. Surface-launched weapons systems technology.-The Committee recom- mends an appropriation of $60,386,000 for surface-launched weapons systems technology. This is an increase of $3,000,000 over the budget re- quest. The additional funding will be used toward acceleration of the new threat upgrade program. New class aircraft carrier design.-The Committee recommends an ap- propriation of $10,000,000 for new class aircraft carrier design. This recommendation provides the fully authorized amount for examination of designs for new, light-class aircraft carriers of approximately 40,000 tons displacement. Essex class carrier evaluation.-The Committee recommends an ap- propriation of $8,800,000 for the Essex class carrier evaluation. This funding is to be used for making the necessary surveys, studies and en- gineering assessments required for the preparation of a class C estimate on the cost of reactivating Essex class (CV-27C) aircraft carriers. Ship development (advanced).-The Committee recommends an ap- propriation of $11,000,000 for ship development (advanced). This is $9,642,000 less than the budget request, and conforms to authorization. Air-capable amphibious ship LHDX.-The Committee recommends an appropriation of $15,000,000 for the LHDX. The LHDX is projected to be an: air-capable amphibious ship having helicopter, vertical short take-off and landing, and landing craft capabilities. Ship development (engineering).-The Committee recommends an ap- propriation of $68,000,000 for ship development (engineering). This is a decrease of $23,781,000 from the revised budget request and $2,000,000 less than the authorization level. The Committee recommends the dele- tion of $2,000,000 for research and development related to the reactiva- tion of the Iowa battleship. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M00610R000100040015-6 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040015-6 Surface effects ships.-The Committee recommends an appropriation of $5,000,000 for surface effects ships. This appropriation is intended only to initiate design of a 1,500 ton or larger prototype logistics sup- port surface effects ship. However, the Committee will extend sym- pathetic consideration for a Navy reprograming to continue sea trials for a 160 foot SES. This will provide data vital to the evolution of a larger SES. Special test systems.-The Committee recommends no appropriation for special test systems. This conforms to the authorization, and is $45,000,000 below the budget request. The recommended program includes $178,114,000 for intelligence and communications. This activity provides for advanced, full scale engi- neering development and operational system development efforts in intelligence, worldwide communications systems, and other defensewide mission support, including meteorological activities. The Committee recommends the following changes to the budget es- timate, in accordance with the authorization: [In thousands of dollars] Budget .

This action conforms to the authorization. Navigation satellite.-The Committee recommends deletion of $16,841,000 for the Navigation satellite program. This action conforms to the authorization. The recommended program includes $662,664,000 for defensewide mission support. This activity provides for efforts directed toward sup- port of installations or operations required for use in general research and development and not allocable to specific missions. Included are technical integration efforts, technical information activities, major test ranges, test facilities and general test instrumentation, target develop- ment, international cooperative R. & D., and other R. & D. support.

(-43,300) (-43,300) The Committee recommends an addition of $6,400,000 for in- telligence activities of the Navy. This program is discussed in the clas- sified annex to this report. ITEMS OF SPECIAL INTEREST, NAVY On-board oxygen generating system (OBOGS).-The Committee ap- proved funding in fiscal year 1981 to demonstrate an OBOGS in high performance Air Force aircraft in various flight conditions, as well as under conditions of chemical agent contamination. For several years the U.S. Navy has pursued the development of an OBOGS for application aboard tactical naval aircraft and the system is presently being flight tested aboard the AV-8A Harrier aircraft. The implementation of such a system on fleet aircraft is believed to offer significant advantages in the areas of operational readiness, safety and logistics/support costs. It is requested that the Committee be furnished the current status of this program to include plans for fleet aircraft implementation and funding requirements. Gas turbine fuel efficiency improvements.-The Committee recom- mends $7,000,000 to initiate a program to improve the fuel efficiency of naval gas turbine propulsion systems. The recommendation is an in- crease of $7,000,000 to the budget estimate. It is the view of the Committee that fuel efficiency of major military propulsion systems must be improved. The recommendation will initiate a program to build and test two Navy LM 2500 engines. Preliminary in- dications are that savings from efficiency improvements within the gas turbine itself will be at least 8 to 9 percent. Since current plans envision that the LM 2500 engines will power over 60 percent of the Navy com- batant fleet by 1990, the potential for significant savings must be con- sidered. Manufacturing technology (MANTECH).-The Defense Science Board (DSB) report on industrial responsiveness published in January 1981 recommended increased emphasis on manufacturing technology program. While the Navy has not met this goal, the Committee notes favorably the significant increase in Navy MANTECH. Although the requested $3.9 million in Navy research and development appears small, the $24.5 million in operations Navy (OPN) shows a trend toward meeting the DSB recommendation. The Committee encourages the use of MANTECH to support in- creased production of metal matrix materials and continue the develop- ment of improved methods for carbon/carbon strategic and tactical mis- sile components. Approved sFor-REelease 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89MOO61 OR000100040015-6 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M00610R000100040015-6 Submarine rocket (SUBROC) extension program.-SUBROC provides a nuclear standoff capability for U.S. attack submarines and is scheduled to be replaced by the new antisubmarine warfare (ASW) stan- doff weapon by the late 1980's. However, the Committee is concerned that recent Navy acquisition strategy changes for the new standoff wea- pon may considerably delay this vital program. Enhanced readiness may be sustained by Navy's identification of alternatives directed at the planned service life extension program for SUBROC. The SUBROC standoff weapon maintains high fleet reliability and would be a respon- sible hedge against future program delays for the new ASW standoff weapon or any gap that may be experienced as a result of a new, high risk development effort. The Committee believes the Navy should sub- mit at the earliest possible date a full report on the extended refurbish- ment plans for SUBROC, including SUBROC's impact on addressing the interim requirement. ASW stand-off weapon.-The ASW stand-off weapon system is cur- rently being developed to replace the presently deployed SUBROC weapon. This program has as its objective an ASW weapon which will be effective against present and future threats at ranges compatible with submarine sensor systems. The Navy's acquisition strategy defined an approach that implied exploration of alternative design concepts includ- ing a live firing "fly off' during the development and validation phase. Without congressional consultation for this $1 billion program, the Navy altered its acquisition strategy by awarding a sole-source contract. The Committee is concerned this change in program direction is con- trary to the value of competition for a program of this importance. The Committee feels this program as currently structured may warrant qualification of second-source production. Procurement rates, inventory objectives, and program cost considerations are underlying factors which impact on, the consideration of second sourcing. The Committee expects the Navy to provide a full report on the desirability of formulating a second-source strategy at the earliest possible date. Landing craft, air cushion (LCAC).-The Committee notes, with inter- est, the consideration for multimission development of the landing craft, air cushion (LCAC) program. It is hoped that the Navy will give thorough consideration to multimission possibilities and will find fund- ing to pursue these concepts. Medium depth mine (MDM).-Current Navy planning in mine war- fare calls for development of a family of mines covering shallow, inter- mediate, and deep water depths. Quickstrike and Captor have been de- veloped covering shallow and deep depths, but efforts have floundered over the last 5 years in structuring a reasonable program to meet the medium depth threat. The Navy is again reassessing development accel- eration of a medium depth mine program following a series of ex- tensions of the basic program. The Captor deep water mine is a moored influence activated mine designed to detect, classify, and attack the most advanced diesel and nuclear submarines at all water depths and is delivered by aircraft, surface ships, and submarines on extremely short notice. The Committee feels the Navy should expeditiously complete and submit their study on the need to deploy a medium depth mine, including a full evaluation of developing a Captor mine variant in Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M00610R000100040015-6 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040015-6 partially meeting the medium depth requirement. This study should in- clude full disclosure of mission characteristics, as well as any acquisition efficiencies in developing a Captor mine variant. Command/control technology.-The Navy budget request for com- mand and control technology included $1,800,000 for continued devel- opment of a family of. command/control computer systems having uniquely great performance and reliability levels, designated S-1. The House deleted this portion of the Navy command/control request. The Committee allocation in this area is for the full amount requested, and the Committee. recognizes that the Navy may need to propose interim reprograming of additional funds to permit the S-1 project to meet evolving Navy requirements in a timely fashion. This Committee recom- mendation is consonant with the strong support given the S-1 technol- ogy base work by the last three defense authorization conferences and by the Senate in.the corresponding appropriations actions. Noting the Defense Science Board Summer Study finding that the S-1 effort is the DOD's only initiative in high-performance, general-purpose computing for vital C11 applications, the Committee urges the Navy to accelerate its plans for the development and utilization of this technology.

These activities and programs require annual authorization prior to appropriations pursuant to the provisions of section 412(b) of Public Law 86-149, as amended. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040015-6 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040015-6 TECHNOLOGY BASE The recommended program includes $632,700,000 for technology base. This activity funds basic research and exploratory development, with the goal of increasing scientific knowledge to maintain U.S. tech- nological superiority, avoid technological surprises' and lead to the acquisition of more cost-effective weapons systems. The Committee recommends the following changes in the budget es- timate, in accordance with the authorization: [In thousands of dollars] Budget Committee estimate recommendation Aerospace biotechnology .............................................. $40,100 $37,100 Training/simulation ........................................................ 16,000 14,000 Defense research sciences.-The Committee recommends an appropri- ation of $139,500,000 for defense research sciences, Air Force. A major reduction. in this account would cripple new initiatives such as: chemi- cal defense, manufacturing science, systems automation, fuel efficient aircraft, and low speed takeoff/landing. Full funding is also required to maintain the Air Force contract program with industry and universities. The recommended fiscal year 1982 program includes $361,800,000 for the budget activity, advanced technology development. This budget activity funds alternatives and concepts prior to the engineering devel- opment of specific weapons systems. New technological developments are pursued which are not formally identified prior to specific opera- tional requirements. The fiscal year 1982 Air Force program includes funding for aircraft propulsion and electronics technology, very high speed integrated circuits, air warfare detection acquisition and weapon technology, personnel technology, information processing and flight simulator technology, and other related activities. The Committee recommends the following changes in the budget es- timate, in accordance with the authorization: [In thousands of dollars] Budget Committee estimate recommendation Advanced avionics for aircraft ..................................... $17,100 $15,000 Hypervelocity missile ..................................................... 8,100 11,000 VHSIC ...........................................................................:. . 50,700 40,700 Civil/environmental engineering technology .............. 4,000 3,900 Very high speed integrated circuits (VHSIC).-The Committee recom- mends an appropriation of $40,700,000 for the VHSIC program. This coincides with the authorization recommendation, but is $10,000,000 below the revised budget request. The Committee notes that it has been advised that the VHSIC program requires an additional $25,000,000 in fiscal year 1982 if all VHSIC contractural obligations are to be met (a total of $65,700,000). The Committee would be willing to consider an Air Force reprograming to cover the difference. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040015-6 Hypervelocity missile.-The Committee recommends an appropriation of $11,000,000 for the hypervelocity missile. The goal of the program is to. evaluate critical technologies for a small, low-cost hypervelocity mis- sile to be used against.Soviet armored vehicles. Advanced radiation technology.-The Committee recommends an ap- propriation of $80,800,000 for advanced radiation technology. The Committee strongly supports this program, and notes that any cut will .severely impair the progress of U.S. efforts in this important field. The recommended program includes $3,716,606,000 for strategic pro- grams. This budget activity provides for all research and development on Air Force strategic offensive, defensive, and command, commu- nications, and control programs. The development of these systems will provide a survivable land-based intercontinental ballistic missile retali- atory capability, modernization of the strategic bomber force and survivable strategic communications. The Committee recommends the following changes in the budget es- timate: Budget estimate Committee recommendation Advanced ballistic reentry system ............................... $49,000 $100,000 Advanced cruise missile ............................................... 30,100 45,200 Long-range combat aircraft (B-1B) ............................. 471,000 471,000 MX ................................................................................... 1,913,200 2,008,706 Space defense systems ................................................ 180,900 200,900 Minuteman squadrons ................................................... 14,200 38,500 Post attack command/cont system ............................. 9,400 11,400 Minimum essential emergency communication net- work ............................................................................. 45,600 51,200 Air Force Sat communication system ......................... 50,100 82,100 SLBM radar warning system ............................................................... 3,800 EMP hardening ..................................................................................... 200 Air-launched cruise missile .......................................... 69,000 104,000 Advanced ballistic reentry systems (ABRES).-The Defense Depart- ment requested $49,000,000 for the ABRES - program, a :triservice research and development effort managed by .the U.S. Air Force. The ABRES program, now entitled advanced strategic missile systems (ASMS) has been the focal point of ICBM research related to ballistic missile defense (BMD), especially in response to Soviet BMD develop- % Last year Congress approved $111,900,000 for this program with guidance that the program be stabilized. This year the Defense Science Board recommended that ASMS receive enhanced funding and serve as the coordinator of offensive sys- tems in the effort to promote greater synergism between missile pro- grams and ballistic missile defense developments. The Committee recommends an appropriation of $100,000,000 for ASMS to stabilize the program and assure that U.S. missile programs are able to respond to developments in United States and Soviet BMD technology. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040015-6 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M00610R000100040015-6 The Committee bases its action on the fact that fiscal year 1982 ABRES program, as identified by the Strategic Missile Systems (SMS)-2000 study, was severely underfunded. The ABRES program is the only program in the Department of Defense which provides for ad- vanced technology development of future Air Force ballistic missile sys- tems and subsystems-such as ICBM penetration aids, a defense sup- pression maneuvering reentry vehicle (MaRV), advanced ballistic re entry fuze systems and guidance subsystems. The Committee believes that a $100 million appropriation is the minimum amount required to improve the ability of U.S. intercontinental ballistic missiles to respond to the advanced Soviet ABM threat and improve U.S. offensive capabilities. The Committee stresses that no funds appropriated may be used for continuation of the MX/MPS program recommended by the previous administration and terminated by the President. Space defense.-The Committee has added $20,000,000 for Air Force research and development on antisatellite (ASAT) technology. The pur- pose of the addition is to encourage an expanded ASAT program which will include related technologies including airborne- and space-based laser weapons research and development. The Committee strongly urges the Secretary of the Air Force to maintain the Program Management Office for space-based lasers and to insure coordination of the related technologies of ASAT programs. This Committee continues to express its concern over the fiscal man- agement of the Air Force ASAT program. The prototype minature air- launched system (PMALS) project in this program has experienced a cost growth of over $100,000,000 spread out between fiscal.years 1981- 84, $37,000,000 of which is funded in this request. The Air Force main- tains that this increase is needed to maintain the ASAT flight test schedule and date of initial operating capability. Although the Commit- tee is aware of the advances the Soviet Union has made in antisatellite systems, it is concerned about the ever-growing cost requirements for this program, and whether the program is receiving proper direction from the Office of the Secretary of Defense. The Committee recommends an appropriation of $200,900,000 for space defense. Long-range combat aircraft.-The Committee recommends an ap- propriation of $471,000,000 for additional research and development for the B-1B bomber. This is $169,000,000 above the authorization recom- mendation. It provides for the fully required level of research and de- velopment funding requested by the administration in its revised budget request. Full funding is required to: maintain the full scale develop- ment schedule, maintain the date of initial operating capability, and most importantly, prevent an increase in out-years costs due to the ef- fects of inflation. MX.-The Committee recommends an appropriation of $2,008,706,- 000 for research and development related to the MX missile. This recommendation includes the full budget request for research and de- velopment on the MX missile, the interim silo hardening and basing program and the long-term continuous air patrol and deep underground basing options. The funding breakdown for these items is as follows:. missile development, $1,575,000,000; basing planning and design, $354,000,000; and long-term options, $20,000,000. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040015-6 The long-term basing options include continuous air patrol ($10,000,- 000) and deep underground basing ($10,000,000) The recommendation also includes a 3-percent cost growth for the total MX program to bring the fiscal year 1982 MX funding profile up to realistic program levels. None of the funds recommended in this appropriation are to be used for the MX/MPS program terminated by President Reagan. PAVE PAWS.-The Committee recommends an appropriation of $3,800,000 to fund an earlier start on the southeastern and southwestern + SLBM radar warning sites. This initiative will help close gaps in existing coverage and improve overall system detection and performance. Electromagnetic pulse (EMP) hardening of critical facilities.-The Committee recommends an appropriation of $200,000 for the hardening of Air Force critical facilities to effects of EMP. These funds will be used to harden the U.S. Air Force Command Post to protect critical, fixed C2 facilities from the effects of high altitude nuclear detonation electromagnetic pulse. This will help provide assured positive control of launch capabilities from Strategic Air Command (SAC) headquarters to Wing Command Posts. Post attack command and control system (PAACS) (EMP harden- ing).-The Committee recommends an appropriation of $11,400,000 for the PAACS. This is an increase of $2,000,000 over the budget request. The additional funds will be used to conduct an EMP test of an EC- 135 Airborne Command Post aircraft. The baseline information col- lected from this test will be used in concert with the EC-135 EMP pro- tection modification program, which seeks to make U.S. command and control assets survivable during and after a nuclear exchange. Air Force satellite communications (AFSATCOM) system (EHF).- The Committee recommends an appropriation of $82,100,000 for the AFSATCOM system. This is an increase of $32,000,000 over the budget request. The additional funding will initiate research and development on a new generation, multimission satellite for extremely high frequency (EHF) communications packages on host spacecraft and associated ter- minals. The funding will be used to define military satellite communica- tions (MILSATCOM) packages, accelerate development and demonstra- tion of critical satellite and terminal technologies needed for the new MILSATCOM architecture, prepare for acquisition in fiscal year 1983 and establish feasibility for the integration of communications payloads on satellite data system (SDS) satellites. Minimum essential emergency communications network (MEECN).- The Committee recommends an appropriation of $51,200,000 for the ? MEECN. This is an increase of $5,600,000 over the administration budget request. The additional funding would permit development start- ing in fiscal year 1982 of a new VLF/LF receiver for bomber aircraft (including the B-1B) and in development of more reliable antennae sys- tems for the EC-135 Airborne Command Posts, which transmit VLF/.LF messages. This funding is required to meet the desired installa- tion time of 1985-86. Minuteman squadrons (ALCS phase III and Minuteman guidance improvement).-The Committee recommends an appropriation of $38,500,000 for Minuteman squadrons. This recommendation restores Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M00610R000100040015-6 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M00610R000100040015-6 $18,800,000 for the ALCS phase III program for. 200 Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missiles and an additional $5,500,000 for the Minuteman guidance improvement program. The recommended program includes $1,755,767,000 for tactical pro- grams. This activity provides for advanced, engineering, and operational systems development on all aspects of Air Force tactical warfare efforts. This includes developments to improve Air Force tactical capabilities in combat missions such as air superiority, interdiction, close air support to land combat forces, suppression of enemy air defenses, airlift, airborne early warning and control, communications, identification, navigation, and electronic warfare. The Committee recommends the following changes in the budget es- timate, in accordance with the authorization: [In thousands of dollars] Budget Committee estimate recommendation Enforcer ................................................................................................. $6,000 Tactical identification system ....................................... $8,500 14,800 PAVE MOVER ................................................................ 5,200 5,700 CX program ................. .............. 169,700............................

The CX was designed to be a cargo transport aircraft capable of airlifting outsize cargo over intercontinental distances and landing in small, austere air- fields. The Committee acknowledges that critical, near-term U.S. airlift deficiencies now exist. However, the Committee is not prepared to em- bark upon a major acquisition program of $12.9 billion when significant questions remain unanswered regarding utilization of existing aircraft designs and upgrading of the civilian reserve air fleet (CRAF) program in remedying U.S. airlift deficiencies. Moreover, the Committee must state that the submission of the congressionally mandated mobility study to Congress did not satisfy these concerns. Therefore, the Com- mittee recommends no appropriation for the CX program in fiscal year 1982. Instead, it appropriates $15,000,000 for airlift enhancement re- search studies and airlift augmentation alternatives. Next generation trainer (NGT).-Last year this Committee requested the Air Force to restructure the NGT program to include the T-34C Navy primary trainer as a next generation trainer candidate. The Com- mittee has thoroughly reviewed the Air Force's evaluation of the T- 34C, the Navy primary trainer, as an alternative to the proposed NOT. The Committee finds that there are significant technical and opera- Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M00610R000100040015-6 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M00610R000100040015-6 tional reasons to support the Air Force position to pursue a turbo fan NGT option over the turbo prop T-34C. A key concern to the Com- mittee was the pilot flight evaluation of the T-34C as an Air Force NGT option. Problems of congested air space at Air Force training fields, airplane performance levels and requirement for additional pilot training in the T-34C all entered into the Committee's decision to sup- port the Air Force NGT program this fiscal year. The Committee approves $14,700,000 for the Air Force NGT pro- gram. This funding is to be used to support contractor selection and in- ? i tiation of the development of the airframe and engine. Enforcer program.-The Committee recommends an appropriation of $6,000,000 for the Air Force enforcer program. This replaces fiscal year 1980 funds that lapsed and will permit a fair completion of the testing of the enforcer aircraft. Future fighter mission analysis: The authorization conference denied the $10,100,000 request for advanced tactical fighter. The Committee also does not agree to initiate concept definition studies for an ad- vanced tactical fighter at this time. The current generation of Air Force fighters should serve to meet U.S. tactical fighter needs well into the future. Instead, the Committee recommends an appropriation of $5,000,000 for future fighter mission analysis, to enable the Air Force to begin analyses of future mission requirements for Air Force tactical fighters. F-16 squadrons.-The Committee recommends an appropriation of $57,500,000 for F-16 squadrons. This is an increase of $15,300,000 above the budget request. The additional funding is to be used to con- duct a flight test demonstration of the F-16E. This flight test is needed to validate projected performance and capability improvements (strike/ attack capability, avionics, et cetera). The Committee action includes approval of the $8,300,000 authorized to support a flight test evaluation of the F-16E using competitive deri- vation engines. In so doing, however, the Committee directs that none of the funds appropriated will be used until such time as the Air Force sets forth a schedule which will permit adequate time and money so as to insure that a truly fair and equitable competition between manufac- turers of derivative engines can take place. Chemical biological defense equipment.-The Committee recommends an appropriation of $12,800,000 for chemical biological defense equip- ment. This is an increase of $4,000,000 over the -budget request. The ad- ditional funding expands development efforts for collective protective shelters and other devices. Close air support weapon system.-The Committee recommends an ap- propriation of $25,000 for close air support weapon system (IR Maver- ick). The increase involves a transfer of $10,400,000 from the Navy infrared (IR) Maverick missile program to the Air Force. This change is made on the basis that the U.S. Air Force should continue to be man- aging this development program. PAVE MOVER.-The Committee recommends an appropriation of $5,700,000 for PAVE MOVER. The additional funds ($500,000) will be used to provide more realistic PAVE MOVER enemy counter- countermeasure features. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M00610R000100040015-6 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061 OR000100040015-6 Night precision attack (LANTIRN).-The Committee recommends an appropriation of $87,600,000. This amount is required to prevent sched- ule slip and cost growth in fabrication of development pods, flight test of navigation targeting pods, and production readiness initiatives. The optimum program avoids inefficient development delays and cost in- creases. These funds are to be used only for continuation of the ongo- ing development program as currently structured by the Air Force to preclude further delays and increased costs. The recommended program includes $1,191,533,000 for intelligence and communications. This activity provides funding for advanced, en- gineering, and operational systems development efforts in Air Force intelligence and worldwide communications systems. The Committee recommends the following changes to the budget es- timate, in accordance with the authorization: [In thousands of dollars] Budget Committee estimate recommendation NA VSTAR user equipment.-The Committee recommends an ap- propriation of $166,000,000 for NAVSTAR user equipment. This recommendation conforms to the authorization and is $100,000 below the budget request. The recommended program includes $1,283,100,000 for defensewide mission support. This budget activity funds Air Force installations and operations required for major system testing, test instrumentation de- velopment, technical information efforts, target development, and other research and development support. The Committee recommends the following changes to the budget es- timate, in accordance with the authorization: [In thousands of dollars] Budget Committee estimate recommendation Acquisition and command support .............................. $259,400 $253,000 Management headquarters ........................................... 22,900 20,900 B-52 flight simulator.-The Committee recommends an appropriation of $11,300,000 for flight simulator development. The Committee does not agree to restore any fiscal year 1982 funds for the B-52D flight simulator modification. These funds are unnecessary because the lead- time required to field the prototype is too long to effectively use the devise before the B-52D aircraft are retired. Alternative fighter engine.-The Committee recommends an appropria- tion of $35,000,000 for the Air Force alternative fighter engine program. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040015-6 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040015-6 These funds will be administered by the Air Force to support work needed to pursue follow-on engine development on a competitive basis for improved aircraft engine performance. The funds will be allocated as determined by the Department of the Air Force between competing engine manufacturers so as to insure that full and fair competition is maintained so alternate options are available to the Department of De- fense should the requirement for increased thrust become necessary. In addition to $35,000,000 for the F-101 DFE engine under the alter- native fighter engine program, the Committee has approved the budget request of $15,000,000 for the F-100 engine as part of the engine model derivative program. The Committee recognizes that none of the $15,000,000 for the F-100 is available for a thrust level equal to that contained in the F-101 DFE. If a higher thrust requirement does ap- pear, sufficient funding and time must be provided to develop the F-100 to a thrust level equal to the F-101 DFE before full scale development. This is necessary to provide true competition and to assure equitable options are available to the Department. The Committee recommends an appropriation of $30,100,000 for spe- cial activities associated with the classified programs of the Air Force. These programs are discussed in the classified annex to this report. ITEMS OF SPECIAL IWrEREST Air Force flight simulator visual systems.-The Committee is con- cerned that the Air Force is not adequately funding its only research and development effort to develop a tactical visual system for the A-10, F-15, and F-16 weapon system trainers (W ST's). For advanced. simu- lator development, the Committee approved the $2.2 million requested, which is $2.3 million less than Congress was told last year would be required for the fiscal year 1982 effort. However, the Committee be- lieves that, if this development program is not continued at the proper funding level and completed soon, the Air Force will have bought A - 10, F-1S, and F-16 WST's which will not be able to provide air-to- ground, air-to-air, and combat mission training. This would defeat the basic purpose of the WST's. The Committee strongly encourages the Air Force to develop and pursue a program that will fill this training need. On-board inert gas generating system.-The Committee is aware of the Air Force effort in the development of an OBIGGS. This is an in- itiative to provide a more .efficient system to give fire and explosion protection by. filling fuel tanks with an inert gas as fuel is consumed. This is now done on a few military aircraft by carrying a store of inert gas or.foam. If.the-OBIGGS concept,proves feasible, the inert gas can be derived from engine bleed air. thereby eliminating the need for- carry- ing inert gases. This would provide a cheaper and simpler way to give added fire protection and would make it possible to equip all aircraft at a reasonable cost. The Air Force is encouraged to initiate flight testing as soon as feasible and advise the Committee of funding requirements for fiscal year 1983. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M00610R000100040015-6 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040015-6 Tactical command and control modernization.-The Committee is con- cerned the current Air Force tactical command and control capability is severely limited by equipment that was developed during the 1965-68 timeframe. The Air Force has documented these deficiencies within the tactical Air Force integrated information system master plan, but has not yet initiated a program for meeting the modernization requirement. The Committee feels the Air Force should expeditiously improve its tac- tical command and control system, fully utilizing other service programs in order to achieve maximum cost savings while insuring operational compatibility. The Air Force should consider reprograming fiscal year 1982 funds to achieve any acquisition efficiency. The Committee recommends the Air Force provide at the earliest possible date a full report on plans for tactical command and control modernization. Rapport III.-The Committee believes that the congressionally man- dated test of the Rapport III electronic countermeasures (ECM) system must be expeditiously conducted. The continuing Belgian Air Force test at Eglin Air Force Base, Fla., will assist in determining the suitability of the Rapport III system for use in USAF F-16 fighter aircraft during the period prior to the completion and development of the airborne self protection jammer (ASPJ). Rapport III is a possible interim system, not an alternative to ASPJ. All testing must be completed in fiscal year 1982, regardless of outcome. If testing is delayed beyond the end of fiscal year 1982, Rapport III ceases to be a viable candidate for purchase by the USAF.

Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) account, strategic technology-62301E, for space-based lasers. The Committee has reviewed the Department of Defense report to the Congress on space-based. lasers (May 15, 1981) and the report of the Defense Science Board Task Force on review of the Department of Defense spaced-based laser weapon study in the course of making this recommendation. The Committee-believes that these reports help clarify -space-based laser weapons issues and serve as a credible basis from which Congress can. confidently add an additional $20,000,000 to space- based laser weapons research and development. Blue/green laser communications. The Committee recommends an addition of $10,000,000 for the DARPA, blue/green laser communica- tions program. The Committee believes that the objective of the blue/ green program, the development of a technology to enhance com- munications with deeply submerged submarines, is a potential, longer- term complement to the extremely low frequency (ELF) program. The Committee recognizes that considerable technical uncertainty remains as to which method to pursue to deploy such a blue/green laser communications system-ground based or space based. The Com- mittee reiterates its concern expressed in the fiscal year 1982 report that it would be premature to preclude research on either approach. Materials technology.-The Committee supports the addition of $1,000,000 to DARPA's strategic technology program for carbon-carbon materials research. This- research is to go toward development of light- weight materials for large optics. This increase is within fiscal year 1982 authorization levels. The Committee has also added $2,000,000 to the Navy's materials technology program, to expand the Navy's develop- ment effort on metal matrix composites and to support the develop- ment of substitutes for critical strategic materials. Project SORAK.-The Committee strongly supports the demonstra- tion of advanced technology to solve surveillance and targeting prob- lems in Korea (project SORAK). However, because the required fiscal year 1981 funds for detailed planning were not made available, it is recognized that this planning must still be accomplished and that most of the major implementation funding should therefore be delayed until .fiscal year 1983-84. In addition, while the demonstration is largely Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M00610R000100040015-6 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040015-6 drawn from DARPA developed technology and DARPA therefore should play a major role, this demonstration is more properly a joint Army and Air Force project requiring close coordination with Com- mander in Chief, Pacific and the services should be active participants. Funds are therefore provided to DARPA in the amount of $20 million to initiate the program during this fiscal year. However, the DARPA is tasked to assure real service participation before additional funds will be provided for development and deployment. Defense Nuclear Agency.-The Defense Nuclear Agency requested $288,078,000 for fiscal year 1982. An additional $69,000,000 was added by the Reagan administration in its budget amendment to support: an increase in nuclear weapons effects technology base programs; develop- ment of hardening of Navy systems warning and dispersal. methods for nuclear capable tactical aircraft field sensors for theater nuclear forces (TNF) systems; additional MX support; and an expansion in the under- ground test program to provide for one test every 6 to 12 months com- pared with the current testing rate of one every 18 to 24 months. The Committee recommends an appropriation of $279,278,000 to sup- port Defense Nuclear Agency (DNA) programs. The Committee finds that the increased level of nuclear testing is required to meet MX mis- sile and advanced ballistic reentry vehicle (ABRV) requirements, and maintain an adequate level of technical experts needed to conduct the underground nuclear test program. However, it recommends a reduction of $8,800,000 to specifically come from the defunct MX shelter support program. Map/chart/geodesy.-The Defense Mapping Agency (DMA) re- quested an appropriation of $19,810,000 in fiscal year 1982 to support Defense Mapping Agency projects. The Committee recommends this amount. The March budget amendment included $4,500,000 for survey support for the MX basing program. In view of the administration's revised MX plans, part of this request is unnecessary. The Committee recommends deletion of $1,000,000 added to the March budget amend- ment for MX mapping support, and an addition of $1,000,000 to the DMA budget to support other DMA activities. The remaining MX-re- lated funding is to be used for development of new surveying equip- ment to insure DMA's capability of meeting the geodetic and geophysi- cal portion of the missile's accuracy requirements. The Committee recommends an appropriation of $19,810,000 for the Defense Mapping Agency. Technical support to Under Secretary of Defense, research and en- gineering - (USDR/E).-The Committee strongly recommends the ap- propriation of $14,539,000 for technical support to USDR/E. The fiscal c- year 1982 program includes money to continue work related to the Export Control Act involving completion of the military critical tech- nologies list and analyses of foreign technology availability and Warsaw pact technology capabilities. The Committee strongly supports USDR/E efforts in this area, as it believes that the U.S. technological leadtime ad- vantage over the Union of Soviet Socialist Republic in military critical technologies must be preserved. Long-haul communications-The Committee recommends an appro- priation of $19,700,000 for long-haul communications. This is $150,000 above the budget request. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040015-6 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040015-6 These funds are recommended in support of two C' initiatives: $100,000 for EMP hardening of certain White House facilities and $50,000 for DCA's contribution to the development of modulation tech- niques designed to facilitate communications propagation through scintil- lation effects. The. Committee recommends a reduction of $19,600,000 for classified programs and intelligence activities for the Defense Agencies. These programs are discussed in the classified annex of this report.

Low altitude airfield attack system.-The Committee supports the deletion of $60,000,000 for the low altitude airfield attack system (JP- 233) from the Air Force budget. This item was not funded in fiscal year 1981, and House-Senate conferees agreed to terminate United States participation in the development of JP-233 in the fiscal year 1981 supplemental conference. However, the Committee wishes to express its continued support for the acquisition of both direct and standoff airfield attack weapons. In particular, the Committee wishes to express its support for the planned evaluation of JP-233 direct airfield attack submunitions technology (including SG35 and HB86 submunitions technology) in the foreign weapons evaluation program, to determine its suitability for direct low altitude airfield attack applications for the Air Force.

Section 723-"Buy America" The Committee has deleted language excepting specialty metals or chemical warfare protective clothing from the "Buy American" require- ments of this section. Further, the Committee disagrees with the House language that no appropriations contained in this act shall be used to facilitate the sale of optional uniform items by military clothing sales stores or by the Department of Defense operated exchange system stores. Section 728-Legislative liaison activities The Committee agrees with the provision included by the House to maintain the limitation on legislative liaison activities at $7,500,000 in- stead of the $8,000,000 as requested in the budget estimate. Section 733-Transfer of funds The Committee concurs with the House provision permitting the De- partment to transfer funds only between appropriations available in the act, and is identical to the transfer provision contained in the fiscal year 1981 Defense Appropriations Act. The budget requested authority to transfer not to exceed $1,000,000,000; the Committee agrees with the House, however, in limiting this authority to $750,000,000. Section 735-Federal employees compensation fund The Committee concurs with the House provision placing a limitation of $206,100,000 on funds available for payment to the Federal em- ployees compensation fund as established by 5. U.S.C. 8147. This sec- tion is discussed earlier in the report. Section 741-Civilian health and medical program of the uniformed serv- ices (CHAMPUS) .The Committee disagrees with the House provision that limitations on CHAMPUS funding shall not apply to payments that supplement primary coverage provided by other insurance plans or programs that pay for at least 75 per centum of the covered services. (125) Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M0061OR000100040015-6 Section 742-Civilian health and medical program of the uniformed serv- ices (CHAMPUS) The Committee has modified two portions of this section. That con- cerning reconstructive surgery has been changed so that the intent of the Committee is clarified. Further, language eliminating the trial na- ture of nurse practitioners and continuing the test for direct reimburse- ment of certified clinical social workers has been included. Section 760-Purchase of military insignia The Committee concurs in the House language which states that none of the funds appropriated by this act shall be available for the pur- chase of insignia for resale unless the sales price of such insignia is ad- justed to the extent necessary to recover the cost of such purchases. Section 765-Medical care for foreign diplomats and military personnel The Committee has deleted a provision included in the House bill prohibiting the Department of Defense from providing medical care in the United States on an inpatient basis to foreign military and diplo- matic personnel or their dependents unless the Department is reim- bursed for the full cost of providing such care. Section 765-Military aircraft and vehicles leasing The Committee recommends inclusion of a general provision prohibit- ing funds appropriated in this act from being used for the leasing in the United States of military aircraft or vehicles when suitable aircraft or vehicles are commercially available in the private sector. Section 769-Teachers pay The Committee has deleted House language which prohibits teachers from receiving an increase in pay as the result of the establishment of any new category of pay that was not in effect prior to the 1979-80 school year. Section 769-9mm military handguns The Committee has inserted a general provision which states that none of the funds available by this act shall be used for the evaluation or procurement of new 9mm weapons to replace existing .45 and .38 caliber military handguns. Section 770-Teachers pay The Committee has deleted a House provision which prohibits teachers from receiving an increase in pay in excess of 4.8 percent for the 1980-81 school year. Section 771_Federal Emergency Management Agency The Committee has inserted a general provision which permits the Department of Defense to transfer not to exceed $1,700,000 of Reserve Personnel appropriations to the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Section 771-Teachers pay- The Committee disagrees with the House that none of the funds avail- able to the Department by this act shall be used to fund any increase in pay in excess of 4.8 percent for the months of August through December 1981. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M00610R000100040015-6 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M00610R000100040015-6 127 Section 774-Prohibition on expansion of the competitive rate program The Committee recommends a general provision not contained in the House bill prohibiting the use of funds to expand the competitive rate program for the movement of household goods to Alaska and Hawaii. This provision was included in the fiscal years 1980-81 Defense Appropriations Acts. Section 774-Travel allowances The Committee disagrees with the House provision that prohibits en- listed personnel from receiving a full per diem and basic allowance for subsistence while traveling. Section 775-Retired pay The Committee disagrees with the House that none of the funds ap- propriated by this act shall be available to pay the retired or retainer pay of a member of the Armed Forces for any month who, on or after January 1, 1982, becomes entitled to retired or retainer pay in an amount that is greater than the amount which it is otherwise deter- mined. Section 776-Standard level user charge The Committee disagrees with House language that no part of the ap- propriations shall be available for paying the Administrator of the General Services Administration in excess of 50 percent of the standard level user charge for space and services in effect on October 1, 1981. Section 777-Retired pay The Committee disagrees with the House that anyone retiring from the Armed Forces on or after January 1, 1982, is entitled to retired or retainer pay which is 94.8 percent of the amount to which the member would otherwise be entitled. Section 778-Technician compensation The Committee disagrees with the House language which prohibits any appropriations from being available to pay technicians in the Reserve and National Guard a combined compensation higher than the rate payable for level V of the executive schedule. Section 780-Dental care package The .Committee has added a general provision permitting the civilian health and medical program of the uniformed services to use not to exceed $25,000,000 of its funds to conduct a test program for preventive and basic restorative dental care.

Committee recommendation ..................................................: . 13,563,000 .................................... The Committee recommends an appropriation of $13,563,000 for the intelligence community staff. The recommendation agrees with the President's budget estimate (as amended) and is a reduction of $4,708,000 below the fiscal year 1981 appropriation. The reduction below the fiscal year 1981 appropriation is primarily as- sociated with nonrecurring costs involving the development of a new communitywide system for security control and safeguarding of intel- ligence programs and materials which require special protection. The intelligence community staff (ICS) was initially established with 245 personnel positions to support the Director of Central Intelligence in overall management and direction of the intelligence community. A recent reorganization and consolidation of ICS activities was recently completed and 230 personnel positions will be available for the in- telligence community staff. The recommended appropriation includes $2,300,000 for external research and analysis projects. The Committee notes that funds re- quested for this activity have increased rapidly over the past 3 years. This is offset in part by the fact that the staff has assumed new respon- sibilities following the recent reorganization and the Committee will support this level of activity during the current fiscal year. The staff has a relatively large cadre of senior intelligence personnel and the Com- mittee will require a detailed explanation of any future increases in this activity.

Committee recommendation ........................................................................................ 84,600,000 The Committee recommends appropriation of $84,600,000 for the payment to the Central Intelligence Agency retirement and disability system fund appropriation. The Committee recommendation concurs with the budget estimate and is an increase of $29,300,000 above the fis- cal year 1981 appropriation. Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M00610R000100040015-6 Approved For Release 2007/03/03: CIA-RDP89M00610R000100040015-6 The Central Intelligence Agency Retirement Act of 1964 for Certain Employees (Public. Law 88-643, October 3, 1964) authorized the es- tablishment of a Central Intelligence Agency retirement and disability system for a limited number of Agency employees and authorized the establishment and maintenance of a fund from which benefits would be paid to qualified beneficiaries. The fund finances the cost of: (1) inter- est on the unfunded liability, (2) annuities attributable to credit allowed for military services, (3) benefits. not met by employee/employer con- tributions, and (4) the increase in unfunded liability resulting from liberalized benefits and Federal pay raises. The benefits structure of fund is essentially the same as for the civil service -retirement system with. only minor exceptions. It is estimated that annuitants and survivors will be receiving benefits by the end of fis- cal year 1981.
