The conferees remain concerned about
the assignment and utilization of full-time
active duty guardsmen and reservists in sup-
port of national guard and reserve units and
headquarters. The conferees are concerned
that the compensation and benefit program
available to full-time reserve and guard
members is virtually identical to that avail-
able to acdve duty personnel, despite the
different conditions of service between
these two groups. During the"coming year.
the conferees intend to review the full range
of issues involving the question of full-time
manning for the reserve components, in-
cluding whether the full-time support
should be provided by active duty personnel.
LEGISLATIVE PROVISIONS ADOPTED
increase in number of certain personnel au-
thorized to be on active duty in support
of the reserve components (sec. 413)
In conjunction with the overall increases
in full-time support, the Administration re-
quested increases in the number of such
personnel in the senior enlisted and officer
grades.
The House amendment reduced the re-
quested level consistent with reductions
made in full-time manning. The Senate bill
provided no increase.
The Senate recedes with an amendment
reducing the level to reflect the reductions
in full-time manning contained in section
412.
PART C-MILITARY TRAINING
MILITARY STUDENT TRAINING LOADS
The Senate bill contained a provision that
would authorize 234 fewer personnel in the
Air National Guard military student train-
ing load and 234 more personnel in the Air
Force Reserve military student training load
than the House amendment.
The House recedes.
LEGISLATIVE PROVISIONS NOT ADOPTED
Eligibility of certain aliens for junior re-
serve officers' training corps
The House amendment contained a provi-
sion (sec. 535) that would authorize perma-
nent residents and other legal aliens of a
permanent nature to count toward estab-
lishing and maintaining the minimum en-
rollment standards for junior reserve offi-
cers' corps units and that would provide
such persons with uniforms and equipment
at government expense.

vision.

TITLE V-DEFENSE PERSONNEL
POLICY
PART A-CIVILIAN PERSONNEL
LEGISLATIVE PROVISIONS ADOPTED
Civilian personnel end strength for fiscal
year 1936 (sec. 501 and sec. 502)
The Senate bill contained a provision (see.
421) that would authorize a fiscal year 1986
end strength for the Department of Defense
civilian personnel of 1,065,970. In addition,
the Senate bill reduced the Department of
Defense operation and maintenance request
by $432.0 million in accordance with the
above reduction in the civilian personnel re-
quest.
The House amendment contained two pro-
visions relating to the management of chil-
inn personnel within the Department of De-
fense. Section 501 waived the requirement
for a statutory civilian personnel end
strength authorization for fiscal year 1986.
Section 502 prohibits the management of
Department of Defense civilian personnel
by end strength constraints.
The Senate bill contained no similar pro-
visions.
The Senate recedes on the fiscal year 1986
civilian personnel ceiling.
With respect to managing through end
strength, the Senate recedes with an
amendment limiting the prohibition to
fiscal year 1986. The conferees direct that
the Department of Defense submit to Con-
gress quarterly reports to the House and
Senate Armed Services Committees showing
"the execution,,of the funds authorized and
appropriated for Department of Defense ci-
vilian personnel in fiscal year 1986. This
report shall show:
(1) by service and appropriation account
the amounts authorized and appropriated
for Department of Defense civilian pesonnel
for fiscal year 1986;
(2) the actual number of Department of
Defense civilians and dollar obligations for
civilian personnel overall and by appropria-
tion account as of the end of that quarter;
and
(3) the projected number and dollar obli-
gations for Department of Defense civilian
personnel by appropriation account through
the remainder of the fiscal year, and the
projected number of civilian personnel and
dollar obligations for the entire fiscal year
as of the end of that quarter.
The conferees also agreed to require re-
ports from the Department of Defense and
Office of Management and Budget not later
than February 1, 1986 on the experience of
the Department of Defense during fiscal
year 1985 and 1986 (to the date of the
report) concerning the management of the
Department of Defense civilian workforce
without a congressionally imposed civilian
end strength. Each report shall also include
the views of the Secretary of ?`efense or the
Director of the Office of Management and
Budget, as appropriate, with respect to the
desirability of managing such personnel In
such manner.
The conferees agreed to reduce the oper-
ation and maintenance accounts by $296.9
million with the understanding that such a
reduction is not to be associated with civil-
ian end strength, but a general productivity
target reduction. to encourage better man-
agement of civilian personnel and other re-
sources within the Department of Defense.

vilian employees of the Department of
Defense (sec, 503)

ics relating to the investigation of the suit-
bilityof applicants which are currently as-
igned to the Director of the Office of Per-
nnel Management under section 5.2(a) of
xecutive Order Number 10577, and (2) the
uthorjties relating to security require-
ents for Federal employees, which are cur-
ently assigned to the Office of Personnel
Management tinder Executive Order 10450.
The Senate bill contained no similar pro-
vision.
The Senate recedes with an amendment
that would require the President to provide,
within 60 days of the date of enactment,
guidance which was requested by an inter-
departmental group studying the personnel
security program of the Federal govern-
ment. The amendment further would re-
quire the interdepartmental group to report
its findings and recommendations to the
Congress within 90 days of the date on
which the requested guidance is provldr-d b!4--
the President. _
The amendment further would provide
that the exercise of authorities which would
be transferred to the Secretary of Defense
shall not take effect if, on or before the date
of the transmittal to Congress of the find-
ings and recommendations of the interde-
partmental group, the President directs that
these authorities shall not be exercised the
Secretary of Defense. This authority of the
President may not be delegated.

vision. - -

reducing the amount of grade relief to ap-
proximately 200 'majors at current officer
strengths. The conferees relate the amount

The'circumstances warranting this relief
are unique to the grade of major in the
Marine Corps. They appear neither in the
illy of the service Secretaries to require and-, ?
enforce service agreements of cadets and
midshipmen.
The Senate bill contained no similar pro-
vision.
The Senate recedes. - :?~'i
retired list (sec. 513)
