Appropriations are one part of a complex federal budget process that includes budget
resolutions, appropriations (regular, supplemental, and continuing) bills, rescissions, and
budget reconciliation bills. The process begins with the President’s budget request and is
bound by the rules of the House and Senate, the Congressional Budget and Impoundment
Control Act of 1974 (as amended), the Budget Enforcement Act of 1990, and current
program authorizations.
This report is a guide to one of the 13 regular appropriations bills that Congress considers
each year. It is designed to supplement the information provided by the House and Senate
Defense Appropriations Subcommittees. It summarizes the current legislative status of the
bill, its scope, major issues, funding levels, and related legislative activity. The report lists
the key CRS staff relevant to the issues covered and related CRS products.
This report is updated as soon as possible after major legislative developments, especially
following legislative action in the committees and on the floor of the House and Senate.

Appropriations for FY2003: Military Construction
Summary
The military construction (MilCon) appropriations bill provides funding for (1)
military construction projects in the United States and overseas; (2) military family
housing operations and construction; (3) U.S. contributions to the NATO Security
Investment Program; and (4) the bulk of base realignment and closure (BRAC)costs.
On February 4, 2002, the Administration submitted a $379 billion FY2003
defense budget request. Of this, $9.0 billion was designated for accounts falling
within the jurisdiction of the Appropriations Committees’ subcommittees on military
construction. This request was approximately $1.7 billion less than that appropriated
for FY2002. The decrease resulted from a $2.1 billion reduction in domestic military
construction that was offset somewhat by increases for family housing and for
building at military installations overseas. The Department of Defense stated that
some projects were withheld anticipating the FY2005 base realignments and closures
(BRAC) round. To offset the decrease, DOD increased its request to maintain and
rehabilitate existing defense property (funded from other appropriations) by
approximately $677 million above the amount enacted in FY2002. $4.2 billion of
this year’s request is devoted to military construction projects. According to the
President’s current national defense budget estimate, requests for these same
accounts are expected to rise to $12.7 billion by FY2007. Amendments to the
FY2003 military construction appropriation are included in H.J.Res. 2 of the 108th
Congress.
In a separate action for the Defense Emergency Response Fund (DERF), the
Administration requested an additional $594 million (subsequently raised to $717
million) in military construction budget authority. This report contains information
on how this has been apportioned between the services. For the current status of
DERF legislation, see CRS Report RL31305, Authorization and Appropriations for
FY2003: Defense, by (name redacte d) and (name redacted).
Authorization of military construction is included within the defense
authorization bill. The House passed its version of the bill (H.R. 4546) on May 10.
The Senate Armed Services Committee marked its authorization bill (S. 2514) and
reported it on May 15. The Senate substituted the text of S. 2514 for that of H.R.
4546, passed the amended bill, and appointed conferees on June 27, 2002. The House
further amended the bill and appointed conferees on July 26. Conferees began
meeting on September 5, 2002, reporting the bill on November 12 (H.Rept. 107-772).
The President enacted the bill as P.L. 107-314 on December 2.
Military construction appropriations markup by the House Appropriations
Committee occurred on June 24. The bill (H.R. 5011) was introduced on June 25 and
passed on June 26. The Senate Appropriations Committee marked its version of the
bill (S. 2709) on June 27. On July 17, the Senate substituted the language of S. 2709
for that of H.R. 5011, passed the amended bill on July 18, and appointed conferees.
The House rejected the Senate amendment on September 10. The House and Senate
adopted the conference report (H.Rept. 107-731) on October 10 and 11, respectively,
and the bill was enacted by the President on October 23 as P.L. 107-249. This report
will be updated as necessary.

Appropriations for FY2003:
Military Construction
Most Recent Developments
The President submitted his fiscal year 2003 budget request to Congress on
February 4, 2002. The House Subcommittee on Military Construction forwarded its
markup to the full Appropriations Committee on June 12, which completed its mark
on June 24. The bill (H.R. 5011, H.Rept. 107-533) was introduced to the House on
June 25, considered on June 27, and passed 426-1 (Roll No. 277). The Senate
received the bill on June 28. The Senate Appropriations Committee marked its
version (S. 2709, S.Rept. 107-202) on June 27 and reported on July 3. The Senate
substituted the text of S. 2709 and passed the amended H.R. 5011 on July 18 (96-3),
appointed conferees, and informed the House of its action. The House rejected the
Senate amendment on September 10, 2002, and appointed conferees. Conferees met
on October 8. The House accepted the conference report (H.Rept. 107-731) 419-0 on
October 10 (Roll No. 458). The Senate adopted the conference report by unanimous
consent on October 11. The bill was sent to the President on October 18 and enacted
on October 23 as P.L. 107-249, one of the two appropriations bills enacted during the
second session of the 107th Congress.
Defense authorization legislation (H.R. 4546) cleared the House Committee on
Armed Services and passed by recorded vote (359-58) on May 10.1 It was received
by the Senate on May 14. Equivalent authorization legislation (S. 2514) was marked
up by the Senate Committee on the Armed Services on May 9 and reported with
additional and minority views on May 15 (S.Rept. 107-151). S. 2514 was debated
and amended in the Senate between June 19 and June 27, when it passed with
amendments 97-2 (Record Vote No. 165). Its text was incorporated into H.R. 4546
and passed by unanimous consent. On July 25, the House amended the Senate
amendment and appointed conferees. The Senate disagreed to the amendment and
appointed conferees. Conferees met on September 5 and reported the bill to the
House on November 12 (H.Rept. 107-772), where it was agreed to by voice vote. The
Defense Authorization Bill was enacted into law (P.L. 107-314) by the President on
December 2, 2002.
Text relating to military construction was added by the Senate to H.J.Res. 2
(Omnibus Appropriation, introduced at the opening of the 108th Congress). Conferees
began meeting on February 10, 2003 (see below).

A companion bill, H.R. 4547, authorizing the $10.0 billion incremental funding for
ongoing operations in the war on terrorism (the “war reserve fund”) specified in H.Con.Res.
353 was introduced on April 26, referred to committee on July 24, and incorporated into
H.R. 4546 on July 25.

Background
Content of Annual Military Construction Appropriations and
Defense Authorization Bills
The Department of Defense (DOD) manages the world’s largest dedicated
infrastructure, covering more than 40,000 square miles of land and a physical plant
worth more than $500 billion. The military construction appropriations bill provides
a large part of the funding to enhance and maintain this infrastructure. The bill funds
construction projects and some of the facility sustainment, restoration and
modernization of the active Army, Navy and Marine Corps, Air Force, and their
reserve components;2 additional defense-wide construction; U.S. contributions to the
NATO Security Investment Program (formerly known as the NATO Infrastructure
Program);3 and military family housing operations and construction. The bill also
provides funding for the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) account, which
finances most base realignment and closure costs, including construction of new
facilities for transferred personnel and functions and environmental cleanup at
closing sites.4
The military construction appropriations bill is one of several annual pieces of
legislation that provide funding for national defense. Other major appropriation
legislation includes the defense appropriations bill, which provides funds for all nonconstruction military activities of the Department of Defense and constitutes more
than 90% of national security-related spending, and the energy and water
development appropriations bill, which provides funding for atomic energy defense
activities of the Department of Energy and for civil projects carried out by the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers. Two other appropriations bills, VA-HUD-Independent

Facility sustainment, restoration, and modernization (SRM) includes the repair and
maintenance of buildings, structures, warehouses, roadways, runways, aprons, railway
tracks, utility plants, and their associated distribution systems, plus minor construction (cost
not to exceed $500 thousand) to create new facilities or expand, alter, or convert existing
facilities. A large part of the funding dedicated to the SRM function is requested not as part
of the military construction appropriation, but rather as part of the Operations and
Maintenance account within the annual defense appropriation.

3

The NATO Security Investment program is the U.S. contribution to Alliance funds for the
construction of facilities and the procurement of equipment essential to the wartime support
of operational forces in the common defense of the NATO area. Facilities funded by this
program include airfields, naval bases, signal and telecom installations, pipelines, war
headquarters, as well as early warning radar and missile installations. The U.S. contributes
approximately 25% of the total annual NSIP assessment, with the rest coming from the other
members of the North Atlantic Alliance.
4

Virtually all costs associated with the latest completed BRAC round (that of FY1995) have
been funded. The bulk of current BRAC appropriations (before the next round commences
in FY2005) will be dedicated to environmental remediation of closed military installations.

CRS-3
Agencies and Commerce-Justice-State, also include small amounts for national
defense.5
No funds may be expended by any agency of the federal government before they
are appropriated.6 In addition, for nearly half a century Congress has forbidden the
Department of Defense to obligate funds for any project or program until specific
authorization is granted.7 This explains why, for defense funds, both authorization
and appropriations bills are required. Two separate defense appropriations bills are
written annually, a “Military Construction Appropriations Act” dedicated to military
construction, and a “National Defense Appropriations Act” covering all other defense
appropriations.8 Normally only one “National Defense Authorization Act” is passed
each year to authorize both of these appropriations.9 Therefore, major debates over
defense policy and funding issues, including military construction, can be associated
with any of these bills. Because issues in the defense authorization and appropriations
bills intertwine, this report includes salient parts of the authorization bill in its
discussion of the military construction appropriation process.
The separate military construction appropriations bill dates to the late 1950s.
Traditionally, military construction was funded through annual defense or
supplemental appropriations bills. However, the Korean War prompted a surge of
military construction, followed by a steady increase in military construction
appropriations. Given the strong and enduring security threat posed by the Soviet
Union, a relatively high level of spending on military infrastructure appeared likely
to continue. The appropriations committees established military construction
subcommittees and created a separate military construction bill. The first stand-alone
military construction bill was written for FY1959 (P.L. 85-852).
Military construction appropriations are not the sole source of funds available
to defense agencies for facility investment. The defense appropriations bill funds socalled minor construction and property maintenance within its operations and
maintenance accounts. In addition, construction and maintenance of Morale, Welfare,
and Recreation-related facilities are partially funded through proceeds of
commissaries, recreation user fees, and other non-appropriated income.

The Subcommittee on Military Installations and Facilities in the House Armed Services
Committee and the Subcommittee on Readiness and Management Support in the Senate
Armed Services Committee draft legislation to authorize military construction
appropriations.

CRS-4
Several special accounts are included within the military construction
appropriation. Among these are the Homeowners Assistance Fund (Defense),10 and
the Department of Defense Family Housing Improvement Fund,11 both of which
perform functions ancillary to the direct building of military infrastructure.
Most funds appropriated by Congress each year must be obligated in that fiscal
year. Military construction appropriations, though, are an exception. Because of the
long-term nature of construction projects, these funds can generally be obligated for
up to five fiscal years.
Consideration of the military construction budget begins when the President’s
budget is delivered to Congress each year, usually in early February. This year, the
President submitted his budget request on February 4, 2002.

Status of Ongoing Initiatives
Elective Quality of Life Construction. In recent years, attention has been
focused on funding improvements to military housing, workplaces, and installation
infrastructure (such as roads, utility services, and the like). Subcommittee hearings
during previous congressional sessions contained lengthy discussions of the
leveraging of appropriated funds through the privatization of utility services at
military installations and of some military family housing.12 Subcommittees have also
addressed the allocation of sufficient budget authority to support improved housing
and workplace quality at overseas bases.
During the mid-1990s, the Department of Defense evaluated more than half of
its existing family housing as being substandard. In 1996, then-Secretary of Defense
William Cohen set FY2010 as the target date for the elimination of all substandard
military housing. Private development was seen as a way to speed refurbishment or
10

The Homeowners Assistance Fund (Defense) was established by the Demonstration Cities
and Metropolitan Development Act of 1966 (42 USC 3374). It authorizes the Secretary of
Defense to acquire the title to, or to reimburse for certain losses upon the sale of, one- and
two-family homes owned by federal employees located at or near military installations
ordered closed in whole or in part.
11

10 USC 2883 (Department of Defense Housing Funds) is part of subchapter IV
(Alternative Authority for Acquisition and Improvement of Military Housing) of the basic
law governing the armed forces. It establishes two independent funds: the Department of
Defense Family Housing Improvement Fund and the Department of Defense Military
Unaccompanied Housing Improvement Fund (unaccompanied members of the military are
either unmarried or are married but separated geographically from their families). The funds
are sustained by direct appropriation, fund transfers made by the Secretary of Defense or the
Secretary of the Navy from other accounts, proceeds from certain title conveyances or the
lease of federal military family housing property, or other financial activity associated with
either military family or unaccompanied housing. These funds may be used for the
planning, construction, or improvement of military housing as provided for under this
particular subchapter of Title 10.

replacement while concurrently reducing the burden on appropriated funds, and
Congress authorized DOD to use a set of “alternative” business practices in its
negotiations with private contractors, to include the creation of long-term publicprivate joint ventures at locations where they might prove beneficial.
Since 1996, when the first agreement was concluded at Naval Air Station
Corpus Christi/Naval Air Station Kingsville, Texas, contracts for sixteen separate
projects have been awarded under this “Military Housing Privatization Initiative.”
These range in size from 150 housing units in Phase II of the venture at Naval Air
Station Kingsville, Texas, to 5,912 units at Fort Hood, Texas. Projects covering
24,518 housing units are now underway at installations operated by all four military
services. An additional 41,503 units in 26 projects are currently pending solicitation,
and another 32 projects with 54,193 units are being planned.13 DOD is exploring
ways to extend the privatization program to include the improvement of some
unaccompanied housing.14
In 1996, DOD set a target of FY2010 for the elimination of all substandard
military housing. With recent increases in budget authority appropriated by Congress,
DOD has revised this target date to bring it forward to FY2007. The FY2003 budget
authority request of $4.25 billion for military family housing exceeds the FY2002
enactment by $151 million.
DOD also created a Defense Reform Initiative (DRI) during the 1990s in order
remove itself from ownership, management, and responsibility for the operation of
the public utilities at as many military bases as feasible.15 Congress authorized the
service secretaries to do this by conveying these utilities to private ownership by a
local utility company or other entity.16 The award of privatization contracts is
expected to be completed by September 30, 2003.17
Integrated with quality of life construction is the consolidation of overseas
military facilities. By reducing the number of small installations and combining
personnel onto fewer large bases, DOD expects to improve living and working
conditions for those stationed overseas through more efficient utilization of its funds.
Consolidation agreements have been concluded with both the Federal Republic of
Germany and the Republic of Korea. The commander of U.S. forces in Europe has

Unaccompanied housing is also referred to as bachelor officer or enlisted quarters,

on military installations.
15

These include electric, water, waste water, and natural gas, as well as steam, hot and
chilled water, and telecommunications systems at active duty, reserve, and National Guard
installations. Privatization is not contemplated for locations where it is economically
infeasible or where privatization may create a risk to security.

requested funds for three construction projects to increase the capacity of the U.S.
installation at Grafenwoehr, Germany. “Graf” is expected to accept personnel from
13 separate smaller facilities that will be closed as part of the command’s “Efficient
Basing East” plan. A similar program, called the “Land Partnership Plan,” has been
negotiated between the commander of U.S. forces in Korea and the government of
the Republic of Korea.18 This 10-year plan will close approximately half of the U.S.
facilities currently located in South Korea and consolidate U.S. military personnel
onto the remaining installations, which will be upgraded to accept them.
Environmental Remediation on Closed Military Bases. Through
legislation passed during its first session, the 107th Congress authorized a new round
of military base realignments and closures (BRAC). Criteria to select bases for
inclusion in the new BRAC will be created and members will be appointed to a
BRAC review commission during FY2003, with realignment and closure action
scheduled to begin during FY2005.19
A significant portion of the federal property at closed installations during the
1995 BRAC round has been cleaned under the Defense Environmental Restoration
Program (DERP) and title has been transferred, but the process is not yet complete.
For example, the 1995 BRAC round tasked the Department of the Army with closing
and conveying title to approximately 248,800 acres of Army property. As of
February, 2002, the Army had disposed of 115,000 acres, or 46% of its total.
Department of the Army has cited environmental remediation requirements as the
principal reason that more property had not been conveyed.20 DOD maintains as its
goal the transfer of all 1995 BRAC property before beginning the 2005 round and has
requested $545 million in FY2003 BRAC funds.21
The President requested $545.1 million in BRAC funding for FY2003, which
the House passed. The Senate Appropriations Committee has recommended that an
additional $100.0 million be appropriated in a BRAC Environmental Cleanup
Acceleration Initiative in order to speed the transfer of ownership of former military
property to local authorities. Of this additional funding, $20 million is to be allocated
to the Army, $55 million to the Navy, and $25 million to the Air Force for their use
at the most pressing unfunded environmental cleanup sites.

Efficient Facilities Initiative. On August 3, 2001, the General Counsel of
Department of Defense submitted legislative language to Congress for a program
termed the “Efficient Facilities Initiative,” or EFI. The EFI included DOD’s plan for
a round of base realignments and closures during FY2003 and the permanent
authorization and expansion to all services of the Brooks Air Force Base
Development Demonstration Project.22 This language would have granted the service
secretaries the authority to convey title to some or all of the federal property on a
military installation to a non-federal entity (such as a local economic development
authority) with the intention of leasing back only those facilities needed to support
the base’s military mission.
Congress incorporated the authority for both base realignment and closure and
the EFI in the National Defense Authorization Act for FY2002 (S.1438, P.L. 107107). Title XXX of the Act established the procedure for carrying out a FY2005 (vice
FY2003) BRAC round. Section 2813, instead of granting the requested permanent
authority for conveyance and lease-back, permitted the three service secretaries to
nominate two military installations in each military department for a 4-year pilot
project aimed at determining its potential for increasing the efficiency and
effectiveness of operations. To date, no facilities have been nominated for the pilot
project.

6 and April 17, 2002. The Subcommittee marked its bill June 12, and the full
Committee followed on June 24. The bill (H.R. 5011, H.Rept 107-533) was
introduced on June 25, and the Rules Committee introduced a rule (H.Res. 462) on
June 26. H.R. 5011 was considered, amended, and passed on a vote of 426-1 (Roll
No. 277) on June 27, 2002. The bill was received in the Senate on June 28.The
House rejected the Senate amendment on September 10, 2002, and appointed
conferees.
Senate Appropriations Action. The Senate Committee on Appropriations
Subcommittee on Military Construction held hearings during March. Committee
markup on its version of the bill was completed on June 27, 2002. The bill (S. 2709,
S.Rept. 107-202) was reported on July 3 and placed on the Legislative Calendar
under General Orders (Order No. 479). The bill was read twice in the Senate and
placed on the Legislative Calendar under General Orders on July 8, 2002 (Calendar
No. 486). On July 17, the Senate substituted the language of S. 2709 for that of H.R.
5011. The Senate passed the amended H.R. 5011 (96-3, Roll No. 181) in lieu of S.

Conference Action. Conferees met on October 8. The House accepted the
conference report (H.Rept. 107-731) on October 10 on a 419-0 vote (Roll No. 458).
The Senate adopted the conference report by unanimous consent on October 11,
2002. The completed bill was sent to the President on October 18. Its companion
authorization bill, H.R. 4546, had not been passed as of that date. The President
signed the bill on October 23 as P.L. 107-249.

Changes in Project Funding during the Legislative Process
The Military Construction Appropriation Act and the National Defense
Authorization Act for FY2003 each contain more than 700 line items, individual
construction projects for which new budget authority has been granted by Congress.
Of these, more than 300 were adjusted (increased or decreased) during the period
between budget submission in February until enactment in October and December,
respectively. In the Appendix, Tables 10 and 11 list the line items that were
adjusted during the legislative process, indicating the amount of new budget authority
requested by the President, appropriated in the House, the Senate, and the final
conference versions of the Military Construction Appropriations Act, and authorized
by the National Defense Authorization Act. It is possible to follow the changes in
proposed legislation by consulting these tables, ascertaining where each product was
introduced, adjusted, or eliminated as the Congress exercised its oversight and
funding responsibilities.
A couple of examples may serve to illustrate how these tables can be used.
1. Table 10 shows a presidential budget request of $38 million to fund Phase IV in
the construction of an ammunition demilitarization facility at Pueblo Depot,
Colorado, an installation intended to disassemble and destroy munitions stockpiles.
Congress assigned responsibility for this program to the Department of Defense, and
DOD has, in turn, passed executive responsibility for the program to the Department
of the Army. The presidential submission placed this construction funding in the
Army budget, but Congress neither appropriated nor authorized the funding (zeroing

CRS-9
out the request). Instead, Table 10 indicates funding for Pueblo Depot under the
Defense-Wide (DOD) budget, with the House granting the full $38 million, the
Senate passing a slightly reduced $36.1 million, and both appropriators and
authorizers agreeing on the requested amount of $38 million. The effect was to
remove the project from the Army’s budget and place it under the Department of
Defense.
2. A second example is the Air Force alteration of the Graduate Education Facility
at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio. No funds were requested by the President,
but both chambers added $13 million in appropriations and authorization for the
project.
Table 11 can be similarly used for examining the military family housing
portion of military construction appropriations. The first Army project listed is a
single housing unit in Stuttgart, Germany. The budget submission requested $990
thousand for the work. The House passed an appropriation for the full amount, while
the Senate reduced the project to $500 thousand. Neither the appropriations
conference nor the authorization included any funding (zeroing out the request).

Key Policy Issues
Several issues regarding military construction have gained visibility during the
legislative deliberations of the current session of Congress. Among these are: overall
and specific account funding levels requested by the Administration; congressional
additions to the military construction budget request; military housing (including the
encouragement of private sector financing of housing construction and maintenance);
and funding requested through the Defense Emergency Response Fund.
Overall and Specific Account Funding Levels. The FY2003 budget
submitted by the President on February 4, 2002, requested $8.987 billion in new
budget authority, an amount $1.62 billion below the 2002 enactment. Subsequent
additional requests included in the Defense Emergency Response Fund (DERF)
raised the total request to $9.578 billion in time for House consideration of its bill.
An additional $122.5 million in Army DERF requests was later received by Congress
and will be considered by the Senate. This raises the total Presidential budget request
for FY2003 to $9.66 billion. The Senate is also expected to consider a $200 million
Army and Air Force Transformation Initiative intended to appropriate a funding pool
to accelerate the creation of infrastructure to support the Army’s Interim Brigade
Combat Team and Air Force C-17 aircraft mobility programs. This and the upward
adjustment of BRAC environmental cleanup funding was not reckoned with by the
House. The Senate Appropriations Committee has recommended a total of $10.62
billion in new military construction budget authority for FY2003.
Within the overall military construction appropriation, there was a substantial
change in how budget authority was allocated between the FY2002 enactment, the
FY2003 request, and the bills as passed by the House and the Senate as reflected in
Table 2.

CRS-10
Increases in budget authority are evident in the construction and renovation of
military family housing both within the United States and at overseas installations,
offset somewhat by a reduction in the unspecified location accounts devoted to
maintenance, management, provision of utilities, etc. There is also an increase in
funding requested for general military construction overseas, reflecting a DOD effort
to increase the quality of life in the workplace for military personnel stationed there.

The most noticeable reduction in budget authority is seen in domestic military
construction. Table 3 compares military construction budget authority between
FY2002 and FY2003 for military construction projects located within the United
States, divided between the active duty and reserve (National Guard and federal
reserves) components.

a. These figures do not include the additional funds requested for the FY2003 DERF.

These figures represent decreases of 38.8% in active duty and 71.9% in reserve
construction funding between FY2002 and FY2003. Secretary of Defense Donald
Rumsfeld and DOD Comptroller Dov Zakheim stated in a press briefing on February
4, 2002, that they expected a 20 to 25% reduction in military bases during the
FY2005 BRAC round and anticipated this with a reduced construction request.23 This
decrease in construction was to be offset by an increase in sustainment funds.24
Table 4 compares the DOD sustainment funds requested for FY2003 with those
actually expended in FY2001 and appropriated for FY2002.25

23

See Political Transcripts, “Secretary Rumsfeld and Comptroller Zakheim Hold a Briefing
on the FY2003 Defense Budget.” Federal Document Clearing House, February 4, 2002, or
at [http://www.defenselink.mil/news/Feb2002/t02042002_t0204sd.html]. The additional
force protection and anti-terrorism funding requested for the DERF raised the total military
construction request for active duty components to $4.262 billion and for the reserves to
$319 million.
24

Sustainment includes the maintenance, restoration, and modernization of existing
structures and is part of the operations and maintenance budget activity of the defense
budget. It therefore falls within the jurisdiction of the Appropriations Committees’
Subcommittees on Defense, not Military Construction.
25

Operations & Maintenance funds are tracked as “total obligational authority” (TOA).
TOA is an accounting term unique to DOD and equals appropriated budget authority
adjusted to include credits (transfers) from other accounts and funds left unused from prior
years. See CRS Report RL30002, A Defense Budget Primer, by (name redacted) and

Note: Total Obligational Authority (TOA). Sustainment includes all DOD facilities
sustainment, restoration, and modernization (FSRM) accounts.
* These figures do not include additional funds requested for the FY2003 DERF.

The table shows that sustainment funding rose $267 million between FY2001
and FY2002. If the same rate of increase (4.8%) occurred between FY2002 and
FY2003, DOD would have been expected to request $6.089 billion. Instead, DOD
requested $6.488 billion, or approximately $398 million beyond the normal
expectation. This increase may be considered to constitute the substantive additional
funds devoted to maintaining existing property.
In addition, some Members have deemed DOD funding requests for the Army
National Guard, the Air National Guard, and the federal reserves particularly
inadequate.26 Until the late 1980s, the amount of military construction funding
appropriated by Congress for the Guard and Reserve rose steadily, closely matching
the amounts requested by DOD. For FY1989, though, the Administration began to
decrease its requests for Guard and Reserve construction. Congress responded by
appropriating funds in excess of the request (see Figure 1). Senator Christopher
Bond commented during floor debate on FY1996 military construction
appropriations that “National Guard forces traditionally have been underfunded” in
construction requests submitted by the Pentagon.27 Since FY1989, Congress has
consistently appropriated more than the Administration request, and the gap between
request and enactment has grown considerably. The House, after including the DERF
request, passed an appropriation for Guard and Reserve construction $210 million
above that asked for by the Administration. The Senate Appropriations Committee
recommended adding $290 million to the Administration’s Guard and Reserve
construction request.

26

Senator Dianne Feinstein, in questioning the Deputy Director of the Army National Guard
at a military construction hearing, remarked, “Many people believe that [deliberate
underfunding is] the game that is played in this institution with this particular budget, that
they really look at the Congress to kind of plus it up after it’s been requested.” See the
Senate Committee on Appropriations Subcommittee on Military Construction hearing of
March 5, 2002. The Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps Reserves are permanently
under the control of the Department of Defense. The Army and Air National Guards are
state-controlled organizations until such time as they are called into federal service.

Figure 1. Guard and Reserve Funding

Military Housing. Military housing for both families and unaccompanied has
been a highly visible military construction issue for several years. In the mid 1990s,
then-Secretary of Defense William Cohen announced a goal of the elimination of
substandard military housing by 2010. He proposed to do this using an increase in
traditional DOD-funded construction and renovation, plus less orthodox methods
such as partnering with private enterprise to build and maintain housing and
increasing the military Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) to cover the cost of offbase housing.28 At the present time, approximately one-third of military families live
in government-owned housing.
At the outset of the effort, DOD estimated that more than half of existing
military family housing did not meet its own minimum housing standards with
respect to living space, amenities, etc. In addition, BAH compensation covered only
85% of the cost (accommodation and utilities) of living off-base. DOD and Congress
then initiated several programs to encourage private investment and to increase
funding of traditional housing construction for both families and unaccompanied
members, and to increase the percentage of off-base housing costs covered by
military allowances. DOD now estimates that substandard housing will disappear for
all military members and their families by 2007 and that out-of-pocket expenses
associated with living on the local economy will be eliminated by 2005.29

28

For a description of the privatization of military family housing, see CRS Report
RL31039, Military Housing Privatization Initiative: Background and Issues, by (name red
acted). The Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) is money added to a military member’s base
pay when he or she is authorized to live outside of government-furnished quarters, or “offbase.” The domicile is usually established in a privately-owned apartment or house rented
or purchased on the local economy.
29

The calculated BAH shortfall is being reduced incrementally in annual budget requests
in order to eliminate service members’ out-of-pocket housing and utility costs by 2005.

CRS-14
Because improvement and expansion of adequate housing on military
installations may encourage the movement of significant numbers of military families
onto bases, some members have expressed concern that local school districts serving
large military communities may find their facility and personnel plans unexpectedly
disrupted. Language included in the House report for the Bob Stump National
Defense Authorization Act (H.Rept. 107-436 accompanying H.R. 4546) directs DOD
to report by March 1, 2003, on the situations at three Army and Air Force
installations (Ft. Bragg, North Carolina, Ft. Hood, Texas, and Lackland Air Force
Base, Texas) where large housing privatization projects are underway.30
Defense Emergency Response Fund. The Administration defense budget
request for operations and maintenance (considered part of the defense appropriation,
not the military construction appropriation) contained a single new entry for
$20.1 billion entitled the Defense Emergency Response Fund (DERF).31 This is
intended for use by DOD to respond to or protect against acts of terrorism. The
request contained detailed justification for $10.1 billion, or about half of the total
request, of which DOD identified approximately $594 million as appropriate for
consideration as military construction to enhance physical security at military
installations.32 The DERF is a transfer fund, which is used to shift appropriations
between accounts without adherence to normal congressional reprogramming or
notification requirements. The House Appropriations Committee considered
$594 million of the DERF to be part of the Administration’s military construction
appropriation request and added it to the suitable appropriations accounts. The
Administration forwarded an additional DERF request too late for House
consideration but in time for Senate and conference action. DERF funding, as
requested by the President and recommended by the conference committee, is shown
in Table 5.
Additional Omnibus Appropriations. Additional defense and military
construction appropriations language was included in Division M (Other Matters),
Title I (Defense Related Technical Corrections) of the Senate amendment to H.J.Res.
2 of the 108th Congress (the Omnibus Appropriations Act) (January 15, CR S988-

30

See Title XXXVIII–General Provisions, Items of Special Interest, p. 383.

31

Like facility sustainment, renovation, and modernization accounts, the DERF is part of
the defense appropriation. The $20.1 billion requested for the DERF is not included in the
budgetary analyses in this report. The DERF itself was created as a “transfer fund,” which
means its function is to act as an accounting vehicle for redistributing sums from one
account to another. Therefore, it normally does not receive its own appropriation. See CRS
Report RL31187, Terrorism Funding: Congressional Debate on Emergency Supplemental
Allocations, by (name redacted) and Larry Q. Nowels, and CRS Report RL31305,
Authorization and Appropriations for FY2003: Defense, by (name redacted) and (na
me redacted).
32

The remaining $10.0 billion of the request was not accompanied by detailed justification.
This was funding designated by the Budget Resolution for FY2003 (H.Con.Res. 353) as a
“war reserve fund” to support ongoing military operations in and around Afghanistan. A
second defense authorization bill (H.R. 4547, see below under Legislation, Defense
Authorization) has been created to accommodate an anticipated detailed budget request for
this $10.0 billion war reserve.

CRS-15
S909). Several provisions of the bill amend P.L. 107-249 (the Military Construction
Act for FY2003).
Section 103 of the bill amends Section 124 of the original legislation, which had
stated that “None of the funds appropriated or made available by this Act may be
obligated for Partnership for Peace Programs in the New Independent States of the
former Soviet Union,” to read “Not more than $2,000,000 of the funds appropriated
or made available by this Act may be obligated for Partnership for Peace Programs.”
Section 104 reduces the overall appropriation for Air Force military construction
by $18,600,000 and transfers it to Air Force Reserve military construction, a 28%
increase in the latter account (see Table 7).
Section 105 permits the $15,000,000 appropriated for land acquisition at Nellis
Air Force Base to be transferred to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to fulfill
obligations under the Military Lands Withdrawal Act of 1999.33 The USFWS is then
permitted to grant these funds to the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation to
replace public lands withdrawn from public use under the 1999 Act.
The bill also amended P.L. 107-248, the National Defense Appropriations Act
for Fiscal Year 2003. Included under those provisions were changes in various
reprogramming thresholds, a raise in the limit placed on expense/investment value
for items purchased with Operation and Maintenance funds from $100,000 to
$250,000, various transfers of defense appropriations between accounts, and an
additional appropriation of $3.89 billion.34
Additional discussion of H.J.Res. 2 can be found in CRS Report RL30343,
Continuing Appropriations Acts: Brief Overview of Recent Practices, by (name
35
redacted).
33

The Act formed part of the National Defense Authorization Act of 1999 (P.L. 106-).
Section 3011 (b) of the Act withdrew a portion of the Nellis Air Force Range from all forms
of appropriations under public land laws, reserving approximately 2.9 million acres of land
in Clark, Lincoln, and Nye Counties, Nevada, for use as a weapons and training range. This
appropriation is to be used for the replacement of National Wildlife Refuge System lands
included in that withdrawal.
34

See also CR S839. Reprogramming refers to the transfer of funds between appropriations
accounts. Congress has set thresholds for DOD increases in accounts below which the
Department does not have to request congressional authorization. This bill raises these limits
at $20 million in military personnel (up from $10 million), $20 million in operation and
maintenance (up from the $15 million set by the 105th Congress), $20 million in
procurement (up from the $10 million or 20% of appropriation set by the 100th Congress),
and $10 million in research, development, test, and evaluation (up from $4 million set by
the 100th Congress). The bill makes no change in the current $2.5 million reprogramming
threshold in military construction accounts.
35

In the omnibus measure, the Senate approved an across-the-board rescission of 1.6%
(§601, Division N). This cut is augmented by §309 of Division G, which requires an
increase in the cut to offset $5 billion in additional education spending. According to CBO,
this amount generates an additional 1.252% reduction. Thus, the total across-the-board

Major Funding Trends
Between FY1985 and FY1998, funding devoted to military construction
declined steadily as DOD and Congress struggled with a changing strategic
environment, a shrinking military force, and the uncertainties associated with several
rounds of base realignments and closures. Appropriations began to rise with FY1998
as Congress sought to replace outdated facilities and improve the quality of life for
military personnel at home and in the workplace. Administration requests for military
construction funding (not including BRAC and family housing) continued to decline
until FY2000, but have risen forFY2001 and 2002. The request for FY2003 dips, but
DOD projects that its annual construction requests will approximately triple between
FY2003 and FY2007 (see Figure 2).

35

(...continued)
reduction is currently estimated at 2.852%, which has been calculated by CBO as $11
billion, 392 million. Figures in this report do not reflect the across-the-board cuts in the
omnibus measure, as it is unclear how they would be calculated for the Military
Construction Appropriations Act overall and for particular departments, agencies, and
programs in that bill.

CRS-17
Figure 2. Military Construction Funding

Prior to FY1994, Congress considered Administration requests to exceed real
construction requirements, typically appropriating less new budget authority than
requested. This pattern reversed with the FY1995 budget. Every year since then,
Congress has added to Administration requests, countering what Members have
termed “inadequate” funding for military construction. The DOD request for
construction funds for FY2003 fell relative to both its FY2002 request and the
subsequent enactment, anticipating the FY2005 round of base realignments and
closures, according to statements made by Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld
and DOD Comptroller Dov Zakheim. DOD projects that future requests for military
construction will rise steadily and rapidly.

and amendment of the bill began on June 4, 2002, and continued through June 6. On
June 7, the Senate passed the bill with an amendment, substituting the text of its own
version of the bill (S. 2551), by a vote of 71-22 (Record Vote No. 145), insisted on
its amendment, and appointed conferees. The House disagreed with the amendment
and appointed its own conferees on June 12 (CR H3459-H3461). A conference report
was filed on July 19 (H.Rept. 107-593, CR H4935-H4985). The House took up the
conference report as unfinished business on July 23 (CR H5201-H5229, H5289) and
agreed with it on a roll call vote (397-32, Roll no. 328). The Senate considered the
conference report on July 24 (S7263-S7282) and agreed with a 92-7 vote (Record
Vote Number 188). The action was reported to the House and the bill was cleared for
the President. The bill was enacted by the President on August 2, 2002 (P.L. 107206).

Military Construction Appropriations
H.R. 5011 (Hobson). Making appropriations for military construction, family
housing, and base realignment and closure for the Department of Defense for the
fiscal year ending September 30, 2003, and for other purposes. The House
Committee on Appropriations Subcommittee on Military Construction held a series
of hearings between February 6 and April 17, 2002. The Subcommittee markup was
forwarded to the full Committee on June 12. The full Committee mark took place on
June 24. The bill was reported on June 25 (H.Rept. 107-533, CR H3914, H3927). A
rule was reported (H.Res. 462) on the bill on June 26 (CR H4039, H4064, H4067).
H.R. 5011 was considered and passed on a 426-1 vote (Roll No. 277). The bill was
read twice in the Senate and placed on the Legislative Calendar under General Orders
on July 8, 2002 (Calendar No. 486). On July 17, the Senate substituted the language
of S. 2709 for that of H.R. 5011 (CR S6931-S6934). The Senate passed the amended
H.R. 5011 (96-3, Roll No. 181) and appointed conferees on July 18, 2002 (CR
S6972-S6976). The House rejected the Senate amendment and appointed its
conferees on September 10, 2002. Conferees met on October 8. The House accepted
the conference report (H.Rept. 107-731) on October 10 on a 419-0 vote (Roll No.
458). The Senate adopted the conference report by unanimous consent on October 11.
The completed bill was sent to the President on October 18, though without the
companion authorization bill (H.R. 4546), which had not been passed as of that date.
The President signed the bill on October 23 as P.L. 107-249.

CRS-19
S. 2709 (Feinstein). The Senate Committee on Appropriations Subcommittee
on Military Construction held hearings during March. The Senate received the House
Military Construction Appropriations Bill (H.R. 5011) on June 28 (CR S6317). The
Senate Appropriations Committee marked its version of the bill, recommending
$10.62 billion in new budget authority, on June 27. The bill was reported on July 3
(S.Rept. 107-202, CR July 8, 2002, S6361) and placed on the Legislative Calendar
under General Orders (Calendar No. 479). The Senate amended H.R. 5011 by
substituting the language of S. 2709 on July 18, 2002, and passed the amended H.R.
5011 in lieu of S. 2709 (see paragraph above).

Defense Authorization
H.R. 4546 (Stump, by request).36 To authorize appropriations for FY2003 for
military activities of the Department of Defense, and for military construction, to
prescribe military personnel strengths for FY2003, and for other purposes. Introduced
on April 23, 2002, and referred to the Committee on Armed Services, it was further
referred to the Subcommittees on Military Personnel, Military Installations and
Facilities, and Military Readiness (amendment added) on April 25 and returned to the
full Committee on the same day. The Subcommittee on Military Installations and
Facilities, which exercises jurisdiction over the military construction portion of the
authorization bill, defeated (3-13-2) an amendment that would have repealed existing
authority to conduct an FY2005 round of base realignments and closures (BRAC).
The bill was referred to the Subcommittees on Military Procurement and Military
Research and Development on April 30 and returned to the full Committee the same
day. The full Committee considered the bill on May 1, 2002, and ordered it reported,
rejecting an identical BRAC-stopping amendment (19-38). The bill was reported on
May 3, 2002 (H.Rept. 107-436, CR H2104-2105), and placed on the Union Calendar
(Calendar No. 258). A supplemental report (a dissenting opinion, H.Rept 107-436,
Part II, CR H2108) was filed on May 6. Brought to the floor on May 9, 2002, subject
to a rule (H.Res.415, H.Rept.107-450). H.R. 4546 was debated, amended, and passed
by recorded vote (359-58, Roll no 158) on May 10. The bill was received in the
Senate on May 14, 2002, and on May 16 was placed on the Legislative Calendar
under General Orders (Calendar No. 379). The bill was amended in the Senate on
June 27 by the substitution of the text of S. 2514 (see below) after the enabling clause
CR S6225). The bill was passed by unanimous consent and the Senate appointed
conferees. A message on the Senate action was sent to the House on July 8. On
July 25, the Rules Committee reported to the House (H.Res. 500) the rule for
consideration of the amended bill. The House amended the Senate amendment and
appointed conferees and voted to instruct them (419-2, Roll no. 349). The Senate
disagreed by Unanimous Consent to the House amendment on July 26 and appointed
conferees. The conferees began meeting on September 5, 2002. On October 10, the
House voted 391-0 to instruct its conferees (Roll No. 463). The Military Construction
Appropriations bill (H.R. 5011) was sent to the President on October 18 and enacted
as P.L. 107-249. Conferees reported the authorization bill to the House on

36

S. 2225 corresponds to the Administration’s budget request and was introduced by
request. H.R. 4546 and S. 2514 are the defense authorization bills from the House and
Senate Armed Services Committees respectively.

CRS-20
November 12 (H.Rept. 107-772), where it was agreed to by voice vote. The President
enacted the bill as P.L. 107-314 on December 2, 2002.
H.R. 4547 (Stump, by request). To authorize appropriations for FY2003 for
military activities of the Department of Defense and to prescribe military personnel
strengths for FY2003. Companion bill to H.R. 4546, introduced on April 23, to
authorize the $10.0 billion designated as incremental funding for ongoing operations
in the war on terrorism (the “war reserve fund”), as specified in the Budget
Resolution for FY2003 (H.Con.Res. 353). Also known as the Costs of
War/Substitute Amendment, the original bill was amended on May 1 to authorize the
war reserve fund. Of this, $3.7 billion would be used to replace equipment destroyed
in the war in Afghanistan, upgrade equipment and defray other war-related costs, and
offer war-related pay to military personnel. House Armed Services Committee held
its markup on July 18, 2002, and reported the bill (H.Rept. 107-603) on July 23
(Union Calendar, Calendar No. 365). On a motion to suspend the rules and pass the
bill (2/3 required), the bill was passed (413-3, Roll no. 335) early on July 24. The bill
was received in the Senate on July 24 and referred to the Committee on Armed
Services.
S. 2514 (Levin).37 An original bill to authorize appropriations for FY2003 for
military activities of the Department of Defense, for military construction, and for
defense activities of the Department of Energy, to prescribe personnel strengths for
such fiscal year for the Armed Forces, and for other purposes. Introduced as an
original measure by the Senate Committee on Armed Forces on May 15, 2002
(S.Rept. 107-151, CR S4387). Placed on the Legislative Calendar under General
Orders (Calendar No. 370). Debate on the defense authorization bill began in the
Senate on June 19 (CR beginning S5727). S. 2514 was passed on June 27 with
amendments on a vote of 97-2 (Record Vote No. 165). It was then incorporated into
H.R. 4546 and passed by unanimous consent (CR S6178-80, S6182).

Omnibus Appropriation Bill
H.J.Res. 2 (Young). The 107th Congress passed only two (defense and military
construction) of the usual 13 appropriations bills for FY2003. At the convening of
the 108th Congress on January 7, 2003, the chairman of the House Appropriations
Committee introduced a bill making further appropriations for FY2003. The bill was
passed on January 8 (CR H121) and received in the Senate on January 9. It was
placed on the Legislative Calendar under General Orders (Calendar No. 1) and laid
before the Senate be unanimous consent on January 15 (CR S340-S839). Senator
Stevens offered an amendment in the nature of a substitute. Numerous additional

37

S. 2515, S. 2516, and S. 2517 originated with the Senate Armed Services Committee and
correspond to S. 2514 Division A (Department of Defense authorization), S. 2514 Division
B (Military Construction authorization), and S. 2514 Division C (Department of Energy and
other national security authorizations) respectively. When S. 2514 was considered by the
Senate on June 27, Divisions A, B, and C were separated and substituted for the original
language in S. 2515, S. 2516, and S. 2517, respectively. These three bills were then passed
by unanimous consent. See CR S6225 for June 27, 2002. They were sent to the House on
July 8, where they were held at the desk and eventually incorporated into H.R. 4546.

CRS-21
amendments were offered between January 15 and January 23, when the Senate
passed the amended bill by a Yea-Nay vote of 69-29 (Record Vote Number 28, CR
S1379-S1419). The Senate insisted on its amendment and appointed conferees. On
January 29, the House disagreed with the Senate amendment and agreed without
objection to a conference (CR H224-9). Mr. Obey moved that the conferees be
instructed, but the House defeated the motion 200-209 (Roll no. 17). The Speaker
then appointed conferees. The conferees began meeting on February 10, 2003.

Appendix
These tables include only those projects and other line items that were either
requested by the President or appropriated or authorized by Congress. Table 10
shows changes to military construction projects and line items, while Table 11 does
the same for family housing. Many DERF items show presidential requests and no
House-recommended appropriations. This was caused by the late submission by the
President of much of the DERF request.

EveryCRSReport.com
The Congressional Research Service (CRS) is a federal legislative branch agency, housed inside the
Library of Congress, charged with providing the United States Congress non-partisan advice on
issues that may come before Congress.
EveryCRSReport.com republishes CRS reports that are available to all Congressional staff. The
reports are not classified, and Members of Congress routinely make individual reports available to
