    [[pp. H11299-H11349]] CONFERENCE REPORT ON H.R. 4328, MAKING OMNIBUS CONSOLIDATED AND
           EMERGENCY SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATIONS FOR FISCAL YEAR 1999

    [[Continued from page H11298]]

    ----------

       SECTION 101 (b): DEPARTMENTS OF COMMERCE, JUSTICE, AND STATE, THE
            JUDICIARY, AND RELATED AGENCIES APPROPRIATIONS ACT, 1999

           The conferees on H.R. 4328 agree with the matter inserted
         in this subsection of this conference agreement and the
         following description of this matter. This matter was
         developed through negotiations on the differences in the
         House and Senate versions of H.R. 4276, the Departments of
         Commerce, Justice, and State, the Judiciary, and Related
         Agencies Appropriations Act, 1999, by members of the
         appropriations subcommittee of both the House and Senate with
         jurisdiction over H.R. 4276.
           The legislative intent in the House and Senate versions in
         H.R. 4276 is set forth in the accompanying House report (H.
         Rept. 105-636) and the accompanying Senate report (S. Rept.
         105-235).

                         TITLE I--DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

                             COUNTERTERRORISM FUND

           The conference agreement includes $145,000,000 in direct
         appropriations for the Counterterrorism Fund, instead of
         $89,200,000 as proposed in the House bill and $193,999,000 as
         proposed in the Senate bill.
           The conference agreement includes $10,000,000 from the
         Counterterrorism Fund for the National Critical
         Infrastructure Protection Center (NIPC), instead of
         $19,999,000 proposed in the Senate bill. The NIPC was
         established in fiscal year 1998 as the Computer Intrusion
         Threat Assessment Center (CITAC). The House bill did not
         propose funding NIPC from the Fund, but instead provided
         resources under the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI)
         Salaries and Expenses account. The conference agreement
         appropriates a total of $43,542,000 for the NIPC, $28,677,000
         above the fiscal year 1998 level, of which $10,000,000 is
         provided in this account and $33,542,000 is provided in the
         FBI Salaries and Expenses account. Should funds become
         available in the Department of Justice Working Capital Fund,
         the Attorney General is encouraged to provide additional
         support to the NIPC, if warranted.
           The conference agreement does not include provisions,
         recommended in the Senate bill, to expand the use of the Fund
         to reimburse other Federal agencies for their operational
         costs associated with participation in the NIPC, as such
         action is inconsistent with the manner in which other
         interagency activities, such as the FBI's Counterterrorism
         Center, are currently funded. The Department of Justice and
         other Federal agencies are expected to cooperate to the
         fullest extent of their authorities and expertise in the
         response planning, prevention, detection, deterrence and
         elimination of vulnerabilities to our Nation's critical
         infrastructure. These agencies are encouraged to ensure that
         the resources required to protect these critical
         infrastructures are given a high priority within each
         agency's programs and initiatives.
           In addition, the conference agreement provides $135,000,000
         to continue the initiative begun in fiscal year 1998 to
         assist States and localities in becoming fully prepared to
         respond to the increasing threat of chemical and biological
         attacks resulting from incidents of domestic and
         international terrorism. In many instances, the Nation's
         front line response capability for a domestic chemical or
         biological terrorist incident rests with these agencies,
         including firefighters, emergency services personnel, law
         enforcement, bomb technicians, and other emergency response
         personnel. To ensure that these ``first responders'' are
         equipped and prepared to meet this challenge, the conference
         agreement includes the following:
           --First Responders Equipment Acquisition Program.--
         $75,500,000 to provide personnel protective gear, and
         detection, decontamination, and communications equipment to
         be targeted to the 157 largest cities and localities, as well
         as the States. Of this amount, $4,000,000 is for equipment
         for the National Domestic Preparedness Consortium to be
         distributed as described below under Training; and $2,000,000
         is for transfer to the Office of Justice Programs (OJP) for
         management and administration of this and other related grant
         and training programs. The Attorney General is encouraged to
         use OJP for the administration and management of the
         equipment purchasing and training programs.
           --Municipal Fire and Emergency Services.--$25,000,000 to
         expand equipment and training programs targeted specifically
         to municipal

    [[Page H11304]]

         fire and emergency services departments as follows: (1)
         $16,000,000 for grants of equipment directly to local fire
         departments, hazardous materials response teams, and
         emergency medical services agencies; (2) $4,000,000 for
         interoperable radio equipment for local emergency response
         agencies; and (3) $5,000,000 for training and assistance to
         these entities as authorized by section 819 of the
         Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996. This
         funding is in addition to amounts otherwise available for
         these agencies under the First Responders Equipment
         Acquisition program.
           --State and Local Bomb Technician Equipment.--$25,000,000
         is expected to be provided by the Attorney General for this
         purpose, should funds be available in the Department of
         Justice Working Capital Fund.
           --Training.--$18,000,000 to support training activities. Of
         this amount, $16,000,000 is to support the activities of the
         National Domestic Preparedness Consortium. The following
         Consortium members are to receive $2,000,000 each from these
         training programs: the National Energetic Materials Research
         and Testing Center, New Mexico Institute of Mining and
         Technology; the National Center for Bio-Medical Research and
         Training, Louisiana State University; the National Emergency
         Response and Rescue Training Center, Texas A&M University;
         and the National Exercise, Test, and Training Center, Nevada
         test site. Each of these Consortium members are to receive an
         additional $1,000,000 from the equipment grant program.
         Further, the conference agreement includes $8,000,000 for the
         Center for Domestic Preparedness, Fort McClellan, AL within
         the training program. Funding is to be provided by OJP
         directly to each member of the Consortium. OJP is expected to
         utilize the Consortium members to the fullest extent
         possible, including the Consortium members' existing
         facilities, resources and expertise, to support cooperative
         programs to achieve cost-effective delivery of equipment,
         technical assistance, training and situational exercises. To
         maximize training accessibility, multiple facilities and
         expertise must be utilized, requiring parallel efforts to be
         coordinated between OJP and Consortium members.
           In addition, the conference agreement appropriates
         $2,000,000 from the Fund for State and local law enforcement
         training activities. Funding for this activity was previously
         included under the Bureau of Justice Assistance account. The
         conference agreement does not provide funding in the Fund for
         State and local bomb technician training, and instead
         addresses this matter under the FBI Salaries and Expenses
         account.
           --Situational Exercises.--$3,500,000 is for situational
         exercises to ensure that first responders training includes
         real-life situations. The conference agreement adopts the
         recommendation and direction included in the Senate report
         regarding a Topoff exercise.
           --Technical Assistance/Needs Assessment.--$3,000,000 for
         technical assistance and a needs assessment, of which
         $1,000,000 shall be used to conduct a needs assessment in
         accordance with the direction in the House report. The
         Attorney General is expected to provide the results of this
         assessment to the House and Senate Committees on
         Appropriations no later than March 1, 1999.
           --Counterterrorism Technologies.--$10,000,000 for the
         development of technologies to help State and local law
         enforcement combat terrorism, as authorized by section 821 of
         the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996.
         The Attorney General is expected to follow the guidance
         included in the Senate report regarding simulations of
         dispersion and deposition of chemical and biological
         aerosols.
           In addition to the amounts provided in this bill,
         unobligated balances of $26,782,915 remain available from
         previous appropriations for authorized purposes of this Fund.
         The Attorney General should utilize $1,000,000 from these
         balances for an alternative crisis management/relocation
         facility to carry on essential Department functions in the
         event the Department, or one of its components, is denied
         access to its facility for various reasons, such as a
         terrorist act.
           As directed in the fiscal year 1998 conference report, the
         Attorney General is expected to submit a comprehensive 5-year
         interdepartmental counterterrorism and technology crime plan
         no later than December 31, 1998. This plan will cover a broad
         range of topics encompassing the Nation's efforts to prevent
         and deter terrorist attacks, as well as manage a crisis
         created by a terrorist incident. The Attorney General and
         other department and agency heads who participated in this
         comprehensive effort are to be commended for their efforts.
         This plan will serve as a baseline strategy for coordination
         of a national policy and operational capabilities to combat
         all forms of terrorism.
           The conference agreement includes bill language, modified
         from both the House and Senate bills, setting forth the
         purposes for which the Fund can be used, and making funds
         available for such purposes. In addition, bill language is
         not included, as recommended in the Senate bill as Senate
         Section 117 under general provisions within this title, which
         would have required submission of the specific dollar amounts
         budgeted for counterterrorism activities Government-wide with
         the Analytical Perspectives Volume beginning with the fiscal
         year 2000 budget request. However, the Attorney General is
         expected to work with the Office of Management and Budget to
         ensure that such information is included.

    ----------

                   TELECOMMUNICATIONS CARRIER COMPLIANCE FUND

           The conference agreement does not include funding for the
         Telecommunications Carrier Compliance Fund to reimburse
         equipment manufacturers and telecommunications carriers and
         providers of telecommunications support services for
         implementation of the Communications Assistance for Law
         Enforcement Act (CALEA). Neither the House nor Senate bills
         provided new direct appropriations into the fund. Should
         funding be necessary in fiscal year 1999, the Attorney
         General is expected to utilize $102,580,270 in unobligated
         balances currently available in the fund.
           For the past three years, the Department of Justice and the
         telecommunications industry have been urged to resolve their
         differences on the implementation of CALEA. Despite those
         efforts, CALEA implementation is now almost four years behind
         schedule because the industry and law enforcement have failed
         to reach agreement on CALEA technical standards. Since March
         1998, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has been
         reviewing those standards as envisioned under CALEA. On
         September 11, 1998, the FCC issued an order extending the
         October 25, 1998 statutory compliance date until at least
         June 30, 2000. The FCC took this action because the final
         technical standards are still under review. Law enforcement,
         industry and privacy groups agree that the FCC should define
         the capability standard for CALEA compliance, as envisioned
         under CALEA. The FCC is urged to act quickly to resolve this
         issue.

                        Federal Bureau of Investigation

                             salaries and expenses

           The conference agreement includes $2,971,448,000 for the
         Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), instead of
         $2,977,258,000 as proposed in the House bill and
         $2,956,461,000 as proposed in the Senate bill, of which
         $223,356,000 is provided from the Violent Crime Reduction
         Trust Fund (VCRTF), instead of $215,356,000 as recommended in
         the House bill, and $433,124,000 as recommended in the Senate
         bill. In addition, the conference agreement provides that not
         less than $292,473,000 shall be used for counterterrorism
         investigations, foreign counterintelligence, and other
         activities related to national security, instead of
         $282,473,000 as proposed by the House and $233,473,000 as
         proposed by the Senate bill. Further, the FBI is directed to
         transfer $10,000,000 in unobligated user fees for fiscal year
         1998 to the Department of Justice Working Capital Fund. This
         statement of managers reflects the distribution of the
         funding provided in the conference report.
           The conference agreement provides $70,104,000 for requested
         adjustments to base, including the costs to annualize 429
         positions provided in fiscal year 1998, offset by $86,783,000
         in base reductions for non-recurring costs resulting from
         reduced requirements necessary to complete the Integrated
         Automated Fingerprint Identification System (IAFIS) and
         equipment provided for in fiscal year 1998. Should funds be
         available in the Working Capital Fund, the Attorney General
         is expected to provide $6,000,000 for microwave replacement
         base funding requirements. The conference agreement includes
         the following program increases:
           Counterterrorism Initiative.--Again this year, the
         conferees have included increases for the FBI to address the
         increasing threat of domestic and international terrorism,
         including the growing threats of cybercrime and weapons of
         mass destruction, building upon the $157,743,000
         Counterterrorism Initiative provided in fiscal year 1998. The
         conference agreement provides program increases to enhance
         the FBI's capability to address terrorism, including: (1)
         $9,165,000 to support 93 positions (56 agents) and 47 full-
         time equivalents (FTE), to enable the FBI to establish four
         additional Computer Intrusion Threat Assessment (CITA) field
         squads, including $465,000 to equip these new squads; (2)
         $442,000 to support 9 positions and 4 FTE to provide
         increased coverage for the Watch and Warning Analysis Unit;
         (3) $500,000 to support training programs related to computer
         crime detection; and (4) $670,000 to provide 6 positions (2
         agents) and 3 FTE to enhance the staffing of the Hazardous
         Materials Response Unit. Additional resources are also
         included in the Counterterrorism Fund to further augment the
         FBI's National Information Protection Center (NIPC),
         previously named the Computer Intrusion Threat Assessment
         Center (CITAC). Further, should funds be available in the
         Working Capital Fund, the Attorney General should provide
         funding for the following purposes: $4,250,000 to establish
         an early warning system in the NIPC; $4,000,000 for chemical
         and biological detection equipment for FBI bomb technicians
         and Evidence Response Teams; and $2,900,000 for training at
         the Hazardous Devices School. Within the resources available,
         the FBI is expected to provide $2,300,000 for ongoing
         training activities at the Hazardous Devices School, and
         $3,200,000 for joint counterterrorism task force operations
         in fiscal year 1999.
           In addition, the FBI is expected to comply with the
         direction included in the Senate report regarding integration
         of FBI and Drug Enforcement Administration training.
           Infrastructure Requirements.--The conference agreement
         provides an increase of $42,050,000 and 20 positions to
         enable the FBI to improve its information systems by re-
         engineering its investigative, intelligence, and
         administrative automated data processing systems. This amount
         is in addition to $20,000,000 in base funding identified for
         this requirement, resulting in a total availability of
         $62,050,000 for this effort in fiscal year 1999. Of this
         amount, $2,050,000 is provided in direct appropriations to
         provide for additional staffing requirements to implement
         this initiative. The Attorney General is expected to provide
         an additional $40,000,000 from the Working Capital Fund
         should such funds be available. Further, the Department of
         Justice and the FBI are directed to follow the direction
         included in the House report regarding the obligation of
         funds for this initiative.
           National Instant Criminal Background Check System.--The
         conference agreement includes a total of $42,000,000 for
         operations of the permanent National Instant Criminal
         Background Check System (NICS). Of this amount, $22,000,000
         is new direct appropriations. In addition, the Attorney
         General is expected to provide an additional $20,000,000 from
         available balances in the Working Capital Fund to fully fund
         the costs of the NICS system in fiscal year 1999. The fiscal
         year 1999 budget request for the FBI included no direct
         funding for this system, and instead proposed to finance
         the operation of this system through a user fee. The
         conference agreement includes a provision under title VI
         of this Act which prohibits the FBI from charging a fee
         for NICS checks, and instead provides funding to the FBI
         for the costs to implement this system. The FBI and the
         Department of Justice are expected to include funding for
         the operations of the NICS system in the fiscal year 2000
         budget submission. Additionally, the FBI is expected to
         pursue proposals to increase the number of states serving
         as points of contact for the NICS system. Criminal justice
         and other records available for performing background
         checks at the State level are generally the most complete
         and readily available records, which would ensure more
         timely and thorough responses to NICS inquiries.
           Indian Country Law Enforcement.--The conference agreement
         includes $4,657,000 to support 50 positions (30 agents) and
         25 FTE to implement two new Safe Trails Task Forces and to
         enhance four current task forces. Within the amounts
         provided, the FBI is expected to provide investigative
         equipment and supplies, operational case funds, and forensic
         services to support these task forces.
           Housing Fraud Initiative.--The conference agreement
         provides $1,500,000 and 11 positions to support FBI's
         participation in the Housing Fraud Initiative being conducted
         by the Department of Housing and Urban Development Inspector
         General.
           Crimes Against Children.--The conference agreement includes
         $5,204,000 to enhance the FBI's capability to combat child
         abductions and serial killings. Within this amount,
         $3,439,000 is for the child abduction and serial killer unit
         to enhance staffing, establish a police fellows program for
         training local investigators, and provide training to State
         and local law enforcement. In addition, $1,765,000 is
         included to enhance staffing of the Violent Criminal
         Apprehension Program to provide more timely assistance to
         State and local law enforcement.
           Criminal Justice Services.--The conference agreement
         includes an increase of $8,110,000 for support of Criminal
         Justice Information Services Division (CJIS) facilities and
         systems to be allocated in accordance with the direction
         included in the Senate report. The FBI is expected to
         allocate sufficient personnel to ensure the timely processing
         of criminal background checks for school bus drivers and
         teachers. Bill language is also included, as proposed by the
         House, designating $1,500,000 for an independent office for
         automation of fingerprint services. The Senate bill contained
         similar language.
           Foreign Counterintelligence Program.--An increase of
         $2,500,000 is provided for the FBI's National Foreign
         Counterintelligence Program for a counterintelligence
         investigation enhancement as recommended in the Senate bill.
         Within available fiscal year 1999 funding, the FBI may
         implement the additional authorizations contained in the
         Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1999.
           Violent Crime Reduction Program.--The conference agreement
         includes $223,356,000, derived from the Violent Crime
         Reduction Trust Fund, for FBI activities authorized by the
         Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, as
         amended, and the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty
         Act. From within these funds, the FBI is expected to provide
         funding in accordance with the direction included in the
         House report regarding grants for State computerized
         identification systems and automated fingerprint
         identification systems, support for

    [[Page H11307]]

         FBI's Combined DNA Identification Systems (CODIS), and
         support for investigative assistance and training.

    ----------

                     Immigration and Naturalization Service

           Interior enforcement.--The conference agreement includes
         the following increases to enhance INS' ability to deport
         illegal aliens: 1) $21,800,000 for Quick Response Teams
         (QRTs) to work directly with State and local law enforcement
         officers to take into custody and remove illegal aliens, in
         accordance with the House report, including a report to the
         Committees on its strategy on their use and deployment plans
         by December 1, 1999 and quarterly reports on its progress,
         and improved response rates; 2) $3,112,000 for participation
         in joint task forces on terrorism, to assist in the
         identification and apprehension of alien terrorists; 3)
         $3,000,000 to expand the Law Enforcement Support Center
         (LESC), as in the Senate report; 4) $9,400,000 for activation
         of 400 beds at Port Isabel; 5) $1,971,000 for an additional
         126 beds for juvenile detention space; and 6) $1,600,000 for
         four dedicated commuter lanes, as in the Senate report.

                               JUSTICE ASSISTANCE

           The conference agreement includes $147,151,000 for Justice
         Assistance, instead of $195,000,000 as proposed in the House
         bill and $170,151,000 as proposed in the Senate bill. The
         conference agreement provides the following:

                   General Provisions--Department of Justice

           The conference agreement includes the following general
         provisions for the Department of Justice:

           Sec. 106.--The conference agreement includes section 106 as
         proposed by both the House and Senate bills, which allows the
         Department of Justice to spend up to $10,000,000 for rewards
         for information regarding acts of terrorism against a United
         States person or property at levels not to exceed $2,000,000
         per reward.

           Sec. 115.--The conference agreement includes a new
         provision, modified from the Senate bill, authorizing the
         Attorney General to waive certain Federal acquisition rules
         and regulations in certain instances related to
         counterterrorism, national security, or computer crime
         investigations and prosecutions. The House bill did not
         address this matter.

        TITLE II--DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE AND RELATED AGENCIES TRADE AND
                  INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT RELATED AGENCIES

                             DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE

                             Export Administration

                         OPERATIONS AND ADMINISTRATION

           The conference agreement includes $52,331,000 for the
         Bureau of Export Administration (BXA), instead of $47,777,000
         as proposed in the House bill, and $45,496,000 as proposed in
         the Senate bill. The conference agreement assumes $2,000,000
         will be available from prior year carryover, resulting in
         total availability of $48,331,000. Of this amount,
         $23,646,000 is for Export Administration; $21,505,000 is
         for Export Enforcement; and $3,180,000 is for Management
         and Policy Coordination.
           The conferees note that over the last two years, BXA has
         received $1,800,000 in increased funding for additional
         responsibilities resulting from the transfer of certain
         export control functions from the Department of State. The
         conferees understand that the National Defense Authorization
         Act of 1999 transfers these responsibilities back to the
         Department of State, thus eliminating these additional
         duties. Therefore, while the conference agreement does not
         include $1,729,000 for requested program increases for Export
         Enforcement, BXA is expected to submit a reprogramming in
         accordance with section 605 of this Act reallocating
         resources to the highest priority enforcement activities
         within BXA.
           In addition, the conference agreement provides $2,650,000
         for Chemical Weapons Convention implementation activities,
         instead of $3,503,000 as requested, due to continued delays
         in the enactment of implementation legislation.
           The conference agreement also includes bill language, as
         proposed in the House bill, requiring congressional
         notification prior to the processing of licenses for the
         export of satellites systems to the People's Republic of
         China. The conferees expect such notifications to be made
         jointly with the Department of State.
           Presidential Decision Directive 63 (PDD-63) recommended
         that BXA assume responsibility for the Critical
         Infrastructure Assurance Office (CIAO) in fiscal year 1999.
         The CIAO provides the policy and coordination support for the
         President's Critical Infrastructure Protection Initiative.
         While the budget requested that the CIAO be funded through
         the Department of Justice Counterterrorism Fund, the
         conference agreement does not allow for the expansion of this
         Fund to pay for the operational costs of other Federal
         agencies participating in this government-wide initiative.
         Instead, the conference agreement includes $6,000,000 for the
         CIAO within the Department of Commerce. However, protection
         of our nation's critical infrastructure should be a priority
         for all Federal agencies, and as such, should be reflected
         within each agency's budget. Therefore, while the conference
         agreement includes additional funds to pay the costs for all
         agencies' participation in the CIAO, future budget requests
         shall be consistent with the recommendations of PDD-63 which
         requires each agency to provide support to the CIAO on a non-
         reimbursable basis.

                    TITLE II--BILATERAL ECONOMIC ASSISTANCE

        Nonproliferation, Anti-terrorism, Demining and Related Programs

           The conference agreement appropriates $198,000,000 for
         ``Nonproliferation, Anti-Terrorism, Demining and Related
         Programs'' instead of $170,000,000 as proposed by the Senate
         and $152,000,000 as proposed by the House.

    ----------

                   sec. 591. national commission on terrorism

           The conference agreement includes a provision proposed by
         the House establishing a 10 member National Commission on
         Terrorism to review national counterterrorism policies and
         make recommendations to the Congress and the President on
         combating international terrorism. The Commission will
         consist of experts in the field of terrorism and may include
         members of Congress. Three members will be appointed by the
         Speaker, three by the Senate Majority Leader, two by the
         Minority Leader in the House, and two by the Minority Leader
         in the Senate. The Commission will issue its final report
         within six months of its initial meeting.
           Members of this Commission will require appropriate
         security clearances to carry out the duties of the Commission
         and the conferees encourage the executive branch to consider
         Commission requests for security clearances on a priority
         basis and in a manner fully consistent with all national
         security requirements.

    ----------

                      HEALTH CARE FINANCING ADMINISTRATION

                Public Health and Social Services Emergency Fund

           The conference agreement includes an emergency allocation
         of $216,922,000 within the Public Health and Social Services
         Emergency Fund, to be made available only to the extent that
         an official budget request for $216,922,000, that includes
         designation of the entire amount of the request as an
         emergency requirement as defined in the Balanced Budget and
         Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985. The Senate bill
         identified $300,000,000 for these activities as emergency
         funding and the House bill identified $51,000,000 in the
         Centers for Disease Control only for the pharmaceutical
         stockpile activity. The fund addresses the Administration
         request for bioterrorism and related activities as well as
         for bolstering public health infrastructure, conducting
         studies regarding health and national security, and combating
         certain infectious diseases. The conference agreement also
         includes a provision that would require the Department of
         Health and Human Services to submit, prior to the obligation
         of funds, an operating plan to the House and Senate
         Committees on Appropriations.
           The amount provided includes $154,750,000 for the Centers
         for Disease Control and Prevention for the following
         activities: $1,000,000 for the development of an overall
         preparedness plan; $1,000,000 to enhance technical
         capabilities to identify certain biological agents;
         $1,750,000 for conducting independent studies of health and
         bioterrorism threats specified in the Senate report;
         $2,000,000 to assist States in developing emergency
         preparedness and response plans; $2,000,000 to expand the CDC
         Epidemic Intelligence Service; $2,000,000 for regional
         laboratories for measuring chemical exposures; $5,000,000 to
         better identify potential biological and chemical terrorism
         agents; $5,000,000 to develop new sources and methods for
         surveillance; $5,000,000 to develop rapid toxic screening;
         $5,000,000 for the environmental health laboratory;
         $7,000,000 to strengthen State and local epidemiological and
         surveillance capacity; $11,000,000 for regional laboratories
         for detecting and measuring biological and chemical agents;
         $28,000,000 to establish a national health alert network;
         $20,000,000 for polio eradication activities; and $8,000,000
         for measles eradication activities. The amount also includes
         bill language designating $51,000,000 to remain available
         until expended for the CDC to establish a pharmaceutical and
         vaccine stockpile for civilian populations. The House bill
         provided for this activity at CDC as non-emergency funding.
         The Senate bill provided for this activity at the Office of
         Emergency Preparedness.
           The amount provided also includes $12,172,000 for the
         Office of the Secretary for the following activities:
         $2,500,000 for the Office of Emergency Preparedness for a
         national disaster medical system; $1,500,000 for developing
         national response capabilities; $3,000,000 for metropolitan
         medical response systems; $1,850,000 for a nuclear weapons
         radiation study described in the Senate report; and
         $3,000,000 in bill language for the renovation and
         modernization of Fort McClellan's Noble Army Hospital in
         Alabama for bioterrorism training activities. The conference
         agreement also includes $322,000 in bill language to be
         provided to Calhoun County, Michigan for reimbursement of
         certain expenses related to food-borne illnesses.
           The conference agreement assumes that within the overall
         increase provided for NIH, $10,000,000 will be allocated for
         vaccine research and development activities in support of the
         bioterrorism initiative.
           Public Health data indicates that African Americans and
         other minorities are disproportionately and more severely
         impacted by HIV/AIDS and experience significantly higher
         morbidity and mortality rates than do other populations in
         the United States. The conference agreement includes an
         additional $50,000,000 to address the HIV/AIDS crisis facing
         the African American community and other racial and ethnic
         minority communities due to the changing demographics of the
         disease. These funds are to be available to address
         prevention and treatment needs of minority communities that
         are heavily impacted by HIV/AIDS, and should compliment
         existing and previously planned targeted HIV/AIDS minority
         activities. These funds are available for the Secretary of
         the Department of Health and Human Services to transfer to
         other agencies to: expand and improve access to state-of-the-
         art HIV/AIDS therapies; strengthen and expand targeted HIV/
         AIDS effective prevention and intervention activities;
         support HIV/AIDS substance abuse activities; provide critical
         technical assistance in high risk communities; and build and
         sustain HIV/AIDS infrastructure. In allocating these funds,
         consideration should be given to the territories, such as in
         the Virgin Islands, where, for example, the HIV/AIDS case
         rate is more than twice the national case rate of 24.1 per
         100,000.

                            TITLE II--ANTITERRORISM

                                   CHAPTER 1

                             DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

                        Federal Bureau of Investigation

                             SALARIES AND EXPENSES

           The conference agreement includes $21,680,000, as
         requested, to remain available until expended as an emergency
         appropriation to provide additional funds for staff and
         equipment to increase the capacity and capability of the
         Federal Bureau of Investigation to respond to acts of
         terrorism. These funds, when combined with existing
         resources, will enable the FBI to establish a total of five
         rapid deployment teams.

                              DEPARTMENT OF STATE

                       Administration of Foreign Affairs

                        DIPLOMATIC AND CONSULAR PROGRAMS

           The conference agreement includes $773,700,000, to remain
         available until expended, as an emergency appropriation. Of
         this amount, $748,000,000 is to provide funds for
         reconstitution of embassy activities in Nairobi, Kenya and
         Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, and for security improvements for
         overseas facilities, as requested. In addition, $25,700,000,
         which is provided above the request, and release of which is
         contingent upon a Presidential emergency declaration, is to
         continue funding for antiterrorism requirements overseas
         initiated in the fiscal year 1997 Appropriations Act. The
         provision includes language permitting the Secretary of State
         to procure services and equipment overseas necessary to
         improve worldwide security and reconstitute embassy
         operations in Kenya and Tanzania on behalf of any other
         agency. The Department is expected to consult with the
         relevant Committees on plans for expenditure of funds to
         assure that the Committees are in agreement on all planned
         uses of these funds. The Department is expected to report
         annually to the relevant Committees on the expenditure of
         funds made available in this emergency supplemental, to
         provide Congress a clear accounting of the progress in
         implementing this package of enhancements.

                             SALARIES AND EXPENSES

           The conference agreement includes $12,000,000 in emergency
         funding, as requested, to remain available until expended, to
         provide funds for security improvements and for a security
         review panel.

                          OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL

           The conference agreement includes $1,000,000 in emergency
         funding, as requested, to remain available until expended, to
         provide funds to enable the Inspector General to carry out
         additional security oversight and construction inspections at
         U.S. diplomatic posts abroad.

               SECURITY AND MAINTENANCE OF UNITED STATES MISSIONS

           The conference agreement includes $627,000,000 in emergency
         funding, as requested, to remain available until expended.
         This is to provide funds for reconstruction of embassy
         facilities in Nairobi, Kenya and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, for
         reconstitution of embassy activities in interim facilities,
         and for other activities that improve the security of
         overseas facilities of the State Department and other Federal
         agencies. Of the $627,000,000, $56,000,000 is for security
         projects, relocations, and security projects, relocations,
         and security equipment on behalf of missions of other U.S.
         Government agencies. In addition, $185,000,000 of this amount
         is for capital improvements or relocation of office and
         residential facilities to improve security, which can only be
         made available 15 days after notice to the Committees on
         Appropriations.

               EMERGENCIES IN THE DIPLOMATIC AND CONSULAR SERVICE

           The conference agreement includes $10,000,000 in emergency
         funding, as requested, to remain available until expended, to
         provide funds for emergency expenditures resulting from the
         bombing of embassy facilities in Nairobi, Kenya and Dar es
         Salaam, Tanzania, including expenses related to evacuations,
         rewards, and the medical and other needs of employees and
         their families.

                                   CHAPTER 2

                             DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

                                    Military

                    operation and maintenance, defense-wide

           The conference agreement includes $358,427,000 in emergency
         supplemental appropriations for Operation and Maintenance,
         Defense-Wide for counter-terrorism programs, security
         enhancements, and other programs.

                              classified programs

           Adjustments to classified programs are addressed in a
         classified annex accompanying this conference agreement.

           domestic preparedness against weapons of mass destruction

           The conference agreement includes $50,000,000 in emergency
         supplemental appropriations to initiate and expand activities
         of the Department of Defense to prevent, prepare for, and
         respond to a potential terrorist attack in the United States
         involving weapons of mass destruction (WMD). The National
         Guard, with its dual status as both a federal and state
         force, has great potential to enhance the nationwide WMD
         response capability. The Department of Defense has invested
         billions of dollars in WMD detection, warning, protection,
         and decontamination and possesses much knowledge and
         technology that can be transferred to civil authorities. The
         National Guard is the logical entity to act as a conduit
         between the Department of Defense and state and local civil
         authorities to avoid duplication of effort, and to explain
         the needs of civil authorities to Department of Defense
         planners.
           The conference agreement provides funds for the following
         activities:

    National Guard Personnel, Army:
      WMD training and support...................................$4,000,000
    National Guard Personnel, Air Force:
      WMD training and support....................................1,000,000
    O&M, Army National Guard:
      Consequence management.....................................20,000,000
    O&M, Army:
      Consequence management......................................2,000,000
    Procurement, Defense-Wide:
      Consequence management......................................8,000,000
    RDT&E, Army:
      Consequence management.....................................15,000,000

           The expanded training initiatives developed with research,
         development, test and evaluation funds are to be fully
         coordinated and integrated with efforts being planned by
         other agencies under the new federal framework that has been
         developed. The Department of Defense training program shall
         be focused on: (a) transferring military knowledge,
         expertise, and technology regarding the detection, warning,
         protection, and decontamination of weapons of mass
         destruction to appropriate federal, state and local
         personnel; and (b) promoting the interoperability between
         designated WMD emergency response units of the National Guard
         and counterpart federal, state, and local first responder
         units. Emphasis will be given to developing a comprehensive
         and sustainable training curriculum to include operational
         training and refresher courses as well as basic classroom
         coursework. Implementation of this training program shall use
         existing infrastructure to the fullest possible extent with
         emphasis on the use of distributive training technology
         (e.g., RCAS, Warrior Network, and the collaborative virtual
         workspace initiative) at National Guard and Reserve Component
         armories, air bases, schools, and other appropriate
         facilities.
           In addition to the activities identified in House Report
         105-591, funds are to be used to

    [[Page H11524]]

         provide assistance to civil authorities in conducting
         detailed equipment needs assessments and procuring or loaning
         basis and essential equipment to those communities; procure
         equipment for RAID Elements to include mobile analytical
         laboratory systems, unified communications suites and other
         essential operational and communications/computer equipment;
         establish and equip small organizations in each of the 44
         states not receiving an initial RAID Element in 1999 to
         provide limited chemical/biological response capabilities;
         develop joint doctrine and training plans; and test/evaluate
         the new system through a comprehensive joint exercise
         program.

                        General Provisions--This Chapter

           Division B, Title II of the conference agreement includes
         section 201, as proposed in the supplemental budget request,
         which amends Section 374 of title 10, United States Code, in
         order to foster better coordination between the Department of
         Defense and other Federal agencies with regard to counter-
         terrorism activities.
           The conference agreement includes section 202, which
         provides $50,000,000 in emergency supplemental appropriations
         for Domestic Preparedness programs of the Department of
         Defense against Weapons of Mass Destruction.
           The conference agreement includes section 203, which
         provides $120,500,000 in emergency supplemental
         appropriations for the provision of crisis response aviation
         support.

                                   CHAPTER 3

                             economic support fund

                         (including transfers of funds)

           The conference agreement appropriates $50,000,000 for an
         additional amount for ``Economic Support Fund'' for
         assistance for Kenya and Tanzania, to remain available until
         September 30, 2000. These funds are designated an emergency
         requirement under the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit
         Control Act of 1985, as amended, pursuant to the President's
         request.
           In addition, the conference agreement provides for the
         transfers of $2,500,000 to ``Operating Expenses of the Agency
         for International Development'' and $1,269,000 to ``Peace
         Corps'' for security and related expenses, and funds are
         authorized to be made available for administrative costs
         associated with assistance provided under this heading. Funds
         appropriated under this heading are subject to the regular
         notification procedures of the Committee on Appropriations.

        nonproliferation, anti-terrorism, demining and related programs

           The conference agreement appropriates $20,000,000 for an
         additional amount for ``Nonproliferation, Anti-Terrorism,
         Demining and Related Programs'' for anti-terrorism
         assistance. These funds are designated an emergency
         requirement under the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit
         Control Act of 1985, as amended, pursuant to the President's
         request.

                                   CHAPTER 4

                           DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

                             National Park Service

                     Operation of the National Park system

           An additional $2,320,000 is provided for operation of the
         national park system to address emergency, security-related
         expenses. This amount is designated by the Congress as an
         emergency requirement as defined in the Balanced Budget and
         Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, as amended.

                                  Construction

           An additional $3,680,0000 is provided for construction to
         address emergency, security-related expenses. This amount is
         designated by the Congress as an emergency requirement as
         defined in the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control
         Act of 1985, as amended.

                                   CHAPTER 5

                            ARCHITECT OF THE CAPITOL

                             Capitol Visitor Center

           The conference agreement provides $100,000,000 to the
         Architect of the Capitol for planning, engineering, design,
         and construction of a Capitol visitor center, a facility that
         will provide greater security for all persons working in or
         visiting the United States Capitol and a more convenient
         place in which to learn of the work of the Congress. Each of
         the above-named milestones will require the approval of the
         appropriate authorizing and appropriations committees as the
         project progresses. The language of the bill also provides
         that appropriated funds for this purpose be supplemented by
         private funds. In this way, all citizens may share in both
         the services that will be provided by a visitor center as
         well as an opportunity to help defray the costs of
         construction.
           The Architect of the Capitol completed an earlier design of
         a proposed center in 1995. The planning that supported that
         design needs a thorough review and a more current endorsement
         from the committees of jurisdiction. The Capitol Preservation
         Commission is considering a proposal to have the General
         Accounting Office undertake an analysis of all ancillary
         costs and operational impacts of a visitor center. It is
         appropriate that this study go forward during the planning
         phase and be incorporated into the analysis that underpins
         the revised plan.
           The funding for the visitor center will remain available
         until expended and the language provides that section 3709 of
         the revised statutes shall not apply to these expenditures.
         The latter provision is standard on such projects and allows
         negotiated bidding as well as a competitive process. The
         Architect of the Capitol is directed not to expend any funds
         for this project without an obligation plan approved by the
         House and Senate Committees on Appropriations which shall
         specify the purpose and amount of anticipated obligations.
         The authorizing committees will oversee these activities in
         the normal manner.

                                  JOINT ITEMS

                              CAPITOL POLICE BOARD

                             Security Enhancements

           The conference agreement provides $106,782,000 to the
         Capitol Police Board for security enhancements to the United
         States Capitol complex and the Library of Congress buildings
         and grounds. These funds will remain available until
         expended. Language has also been included to allow the
         transfer of funds to either the Architect of the Capitol or
         the Library of Congress, based upon plans approved by the
         Committee on House Oversight of the House of Representatives,
         the Committee on Rules and Administration of the Senate, and
         the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations. The
         Capitol Police Board, Architect of the Capitol, and the
         Library of Congress are directed not to expend any funds for
         these security enhancements without an obligation plan
         approved by the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations
         which shall specify the purpose and amount of anticipated
         obligations. The authorizing committees will oversee these
         activities in the normal manner.
           The Capitol Police Board is directed to secure approval of
         any plans necessary to carry out these security enhancements
         from the above-named committees. In carrying out this task,
         the police board will be expected to consult with the
         Architect of the Capitol and the Library of Congress. Those
         agencies, in turn, are directed to make all such requests
         through the police board for resource allocations from the
         funds available. The Committees on Appropriations will not
         approve obligations or transfers of funds until the
         authorizing and appropriations committees of the respective
         body have approved the appropriate plans.
           Due to the recent tragic shootings at the Capitol, together
         with other threats identified by Congressional security
         experts, the Capitol police have undertaken a broad review of
         the existing security program and needs for improvement or
         updating. This review, aided by other Federal security
         agencies and private consultants, has developed a number of
         proposals. Several hearings and discussions with the
         leadership and the committees of jurisdiction have resulted
         in a priority list that are included within this conference
         agreement.
           The conference agreement provides funding for the
         following:

    Capitol, House and Senate office buildings:
      1. Command center equipment................................$2,265,000

        Subtotal, Library of Congress............................16,975,000
                                                           ================

      24. Contingency...........................................$ 2,400,000
      Total, Capitol, House and Senate office buildings, and Library of
        Congress...............................................$106,782,000

           For capital improvements, certain funds have been provided
         for further analysis of the need for training and off-site
         delivery facilities (including the Library of Congress). As
         the police master plan funded in the FY1999 Legislative
         Branch Appropriations Act is being conducted, the police
         board is directed to review and study alternatives for

    [[Page H11525]]

         such facilities. If it is determined that new construction is
         needed, the police board is instructed to seek authority from
         the appropriate authorizing committees before making any
         further funding requests in the appropriations process. The
         appropriate authorization committees are identified in the
         House and Senate rules and, if there is any question, the
         police board should refer to those official authorities.
           A contingency has been provided for items such as a mobile
         command center, decontamination trailers, studies, and a
         strategic plan. All of these are subject to further
         justification and approval as is the entire funding program.
           For the Capitol police, funds are provided for additional
         police staffing sufficient for 260 sworn officers,
         operational and administrative personnel over a two-year
         period, assuming a steady recruitment ramp up pattern. This
         will allow the Capitol police to schedule approximately twice
         the ordinary number of attendees at the Federal Law
         Enforcement Training Center. The police board has assured the
         committees that FLETC is capable of handling this increase.
         The administrative personnel are provided for the added
         infrastructure support that will be necessary. In addition to
         salary funds, $12,000,000 is provided for overtime over the
         two-year period that will augment the amounts in the base
         budgets for both years that are customarily provided for
         overtime. The police are directed to maintain the current
         high standards for recruitment and deployment of the
         additional personnel.
           For the Library of Congress, two-year funding is provided
         for 46 additional police and 5 support personnel, assuming a
         steady ramp up pattern. An additional $525,000 is provided
         for overtime expenses.
           It should be noted that these are not hard and fast
         allocations. As estimates become more precise, further
         analysis may reveal the necessity to adjust these
         allocations. In particular, the amounts provided for the
         Library of Congress items may undergo change due to the
         transfer of design, installation, and maintenance of LOC
         physical security systems from the Architect of the Capitol
         to the Capitol Police Board. The police board and the other
         agencies, therefore, may have to request changes in these
         amounts as they present the specific plans for subsequent
         approval as required by the appropriating legislation. The
         amounts are identified herein because they are based on the
         amounts presented to the committees in the justifications
         given by the police board and the other agencies, as adjusted
         in the priority list.

                        General Provision, This Chapter

           The conference agreement transfers the responsibility for
         the design, installation and maintenance of physical security
         systems for the Library of Congress buildings and grounds
         from the Architect of the Capitol to the Capitol Police
         Board. This transfer of responsibility is in keeping with
         recent efforts to establish a reasoned and uniform approach
         to security within the Capitol complex. The Capitol Police
         Board is directed to apply the appropriate standards of
         security to Library of Congress buildings and grounds.

                                   CHAPTER 6

                          DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

                        Federal Aviation Administration

                            facilities and equipment

                        (Airport and Airway Trust fund)

           The bill includes $100,000,000 for necessary expenses for
         acquisition, installation, and related activities supporting
         the deployment of bulk and trace explosive detection systems
         and other advanced security equipment at U.S. airports. The
         Senate received correspondence from the Vice President on
         September 15, 1998 which stated: ``The terrorist attacks
         against our embassies in Kenya and Tanzania remind us of the
         global nature of terrorism. . .These events provide strong
         evidence of the need to recognize aviation security as a
         national security issue and to provide substantial federal
         funds for aviation security improvements as a major element
         of our overall national security counterintelligence
         policy''. Consistent with this view, the bill includes
         $100,000,000 for advanced airport security systems. The
         entire amount is designated as an emergency requirement. The
         conference agreement distributes funds as follows:

            Activity                                                 Amount
    Acquisition of additional bulk or trace EDS systems.........$50,000,000
    TIP-ready, operator-assist x-ray units.......................24,600,000
    Integration costs--EDS systems...............................20,000,000
    Trace detection document scanners.............................3,400,000
    Trace detection passenger portals............................$2,000,000
      Total.....................................................100,000,000

           Compared to original budget estimates, this bill provides
         more funding for system integration costs based on
         information that lack of such funding has contributed to the
         delay in commissioning the security equipment which has been
         procured thus far. The FAA, airlines, and airport officials
         all acknowledge that integrating these systems into airline
         and airport operating systems has been a greater than
         anticipated challenge. Furthermore, since the certification
         of second generation bulk EDS systems has been delayed, the
         conference agreement reallocates some funding to other items
         which will have a stronger impact on security in the near-
         term. It is hoped that one or more second generation systems
         will meet the certification standards over the coming year,
         and that viable competition in this program can be developed.

                                   CHAPTER 7

                           DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY

                    Federal Law Enforcement Training Center

                             salaries and expenses

           The conferees agree to provide $3,548,000, instead of
         $4,043,000, as requested by the President. This reflects the
         actual costs of additional instructors at the Center, as well
         as training, meals, lodging, and related operational costs
         associated with basic training for Secret Service and State
         Department students being hired to respond to threats of
         domestic and foreign terrorism.

                          United States Secret Service

                             salaries and expenses

           The conferees agree to provide $80,808,000, instead of
         $86,317,000, as requested by the President. The difference
         between the requested and funded levels is equal to the
         amount that the President made available for obligation from
         the Treasury Counter-Terrorism Fund subsequent to the
         original request. This funding is to cover costs of
         additional personnel required to increase the number of
         protective details for Secret Service protectees, enhanced
         protective capabilities, and protective operations, equipment
         and services. The conferees remind the Director of the United
         States Secret Service that funding for vehicle acquisition
         will not be available for obligation until the Secretary of
         the Treasury determines that such acquisitions are consistent
         with Departmental vehicle management policy.
