GENERAL STATEMENT
For military construction for the Active Forces of the Department
of the Army, the Committee has approved an amount totaling
$567,735,000. This is an increase of $16,160,000 from the amount of
$551,575,000 approved by the House, and a reduction of $97,165,000
from the budget estimate of $664,900,000.
For military construction for the Active Forces of the Department
of the Navy, the Committee has approved an amount totaling
$608,467,000. This is an increase of $20,826,000 from the $587,641,000
allowed by the House and a reduction of $76,933,000 from the budget
estimate of $685,400,000.
For military construction for the Active Forces of the Department
of the Air Force, the Committee has approved an amount totaling
$261,198,000. This is an increase of $21,496,000 over the $239,702,000
allowed by the House and a reduction of $30,702,000 from the budga ,,
estimate of $291,900,000.
For the Army National Guard, the Committee approved $35,200,000
and approval was given for the Army Reserve in the amount of
$40,700,000, the budget estimate.
For the Naval Reserve, the Committee recommends an appropria-
tion of $20,300,000, which is the budget estimate.
For the Air Force Reserve, the Committee recommends an appro-
priation of $10,000,000.
For the Air National Guard, the Committee recommends an appro-'
priation of $20,0,0,000.
For the Department of Defense agencies, the Committeerecommends
an appropriation of $12,000,000.1 This is $7,100,000 less than the
budget estimate of $19,100,000, and is $12,000,000 above the House
allowance.
The program breakdown is as follows:
Defense Nuclear Agency, $574,000; National Security Agency,
$8,156,000; and the Defense Supply Agency, $8,370,000. The com-
mittee also recommends for the Department of Defense general
support programs a total of $2,000,000 including planning and design.
I In addition, $37,100,000 unobligated balances are available to finance the FY 1974 program.
PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS
In this year's bill several areas have been stressed by the Services.
Because the requirements of each service are unique, one Service may
place more stress than the others on a particular facilities requirement.
Areas investigated and reported on are: Bachelor Enlisted Quarters,
Construction Backlog, Family Housing, Medical Modernization, Pol-
lution Abatement, Trident Facilities Program, Athens Homeporting,
NATO Infrastructure, Shore Establishment Realignment, Moderni-
zation of Facilities, Planning and Design, Construction Management,
and Access Roads.
In evaluating the FY 1974 Military Construction Program, the
Committee was mindful of several recent, portentious events. On
the negative side, the worst inflation in United States history
continues. The effects of dollar devaluation abroad is being felt. The
dramatic reductions in the numbers of men under arms and the major
realignments in the Army, Navy, and Air Force bases create uncer-
tainties. The Defense All-Volunteer Force concept has not yet proven
itself. The military construction program approved by the Commit-
tee reflects these concerns.
BACHELOR HOUSING
ARMY
The Committee's concern with the lack of adequate housing for
our service personnel is well known. It is to be noted that the Army is
continuing its program of providing new and modernized bachelor
housing on an accelerated basis.
The fiscal year 1974 program will provide for 23,425 new bachelor
enlisted barracks spaces and 185 new bachelor officer spaces in the
United States and overseas. Included in these are 3,935 enlisted and
100 officer spaces for the Woman's Army Corps, and 380 enlisted spaces
programed for semi-permanent construction in isolated areas overseas.
The Army has assured ,the Committee that in locating this new con-
struetibn; emphasis has been placed on those troop stations which have
the largest deficits in bachelor housing and which are included in the
Army's long range planning. In addition to new construction, the
budget contains a request for funds to modernize 45,188 enlisted bar-
racks spaces and 528 officer spaces in order to bring these existing
facilities up to present day standards. All officer spaces are in the
United States and only 1,499 of the enlisted spaces are overseas. None
of the overseas spaces are in Europe or Okinawa where alternative
methods of funding are available. The total dollar request for bachelor
housing in fiscal year 1974 budget is $371,278,000.
A review of the Army situation in bachelor housing reveals that the
recent changes in criteria for new construction and modernization have
had a great impact on the Army's existing permanent assets insofar'
as their classification into "adequate" or "substandard" is concerned.
Almost none of the existing permanent barracks spaces meet, accepted
standards of adequacy with the exception of trainee barracks in the
United States. Those now classified as not meeting current standards
vary from pre-World War I buildings on some of the older posts, to
relatively new barracks built in the 1960's. Based on long range
strength projections, it is estimated that housing will be required for
approximately 497,000 soldiers of whom 60,000 will be trainees. It
will also be necessary to house an estimated 34,000 bachelor officers.
Including construction and modernization already approved in fiscal
year,1973 and earlier programs, the Army has approximately 397,000
permanent barracks spaces and 27,000 bachelor officer spaces world-
wide. Approximately 40 percent of these existing assets are classified
as substandard under current standards. Comparing the assets and re-
quirements reveals a deficit of approximately 100,000 barracks: spaces
and 7,000 bachelor officer quarters spaces which can only be met
by new construction. Additionally, over 158,000 spaces that are below
standards require modernization.
In consonance with the new criteria for barracks the Army has de,
veloped an entirely new building design with emphasis on privacy
for the individual. A review of. this design reveals that it provides
flexibility to assign, as personnel loads dictate, three. E2-E4's, two
E5-E6's or one E7-E9 to a 270 square foot room with bath. It also
provides for privacy within the room, a small lounge .to serve four,to
eight rooms, other space as required for storage, lobby, laundry, vehd-
ing machines and mail boxes and separate buildings for unit adminr-
istration and supply. The Committee endorses this new design and
believes the Army should make every effort to.continue to place. em
phasis on the bachelor housing program until' all servicemen are pro-
vided adequate housing.
NAVY
The major deficiency in Navy bachelor housing is for enlisted per-
sonnel. The Navy has a post fiscal year'1974 deficit of 124,525 adequate
bachelor enlisted spaces. Department of Defense officials declare that
approximately $612 million will be requiired to correct this defi'
ciency. A percentage breakdown of this shortage by ratings shd s the
following : Percent
E-2 through E-4 .---. __...------------------ --------78.2
E-5 through E-6 -. _ .. -_ _ -- _- 16.9
--------r--------------- 1------------- -- 9
E-7 through E-9 ------------------------------------------
E-7 through E-9 _ . _ _ _____ ____ 4.9
The Navy states that it has applied a substantial portion of its mili-
tary construction programs of the last three years to correcting this
situation, as illustrated by the above quoted figures. The Navy states
that in the next few years it expects to continue funding bachelor hous-
ing construction at approximately the $60 million level. The Commit-
tee supports this effort and will monitor closely the bachelor housing
program in the continuing years.
SAIR , FORCE
The Air Force is continuing its program to upgrade and modernize
bacheib-housing. The Air Force has a deficit of 8,000 spaces in officer
quarters" and 37,000 spaces in enlisted quarters. In addition, 18,000
officer and 167,000 enlisted spaces require upgrading/moderniza-
tion. In fiscal year 1973, funds were provided to build 220 officer and
6484 enlisted spaces and to upgrade 180 officer and 8996 enlisted spaces.
The current bill provides for 60 officer and 4768 enlisted new spaces
and modernization of 4757 enlisted spaces. At the current rate of up-
grading the Air Force inventory, adequate housing for all airmen will
not be realized in the near future. The Air Force should continue and
expand its efforts toward this goal.
The $38 million requested in this year's program approximates re-
cent years' Military Construction Program efforts; however, the em-
phasis is shifting from new construction to upgrading/modernization
of the existing inventory. The deficiency in new spaces will require ap-.
proximately $323 million and modernization of the current inventory
an additional $581 million. The Air Force Construction Program pri-
marily provides on-base housing for E-4's and below; all personnel at
isolated locations; and at other locations where requirements are gen-
erated by student or transient personnel. They plan some new con-
struction for E-5's and above when the local community cannot pro-
vide adequate housing. Modernization/upgrading of existing build-
ings for E-5's and above is being programmed on a selected basis.
Air Force continues to emphasize privacy in their new construction
and modernization efforts since a recent survey on bachelor housing
indicates airmen still place this item at the top of the list of desired
amenities. The Air Force feels that a maximum of two persons per
room is an economically acceptable substitute for their ultimate goal
ii privacy of a room for each airman. The Air Force is different in
their objectives from the other Services, who prefer three and four-
man rooms; however, their force is comprised mostly of highly trained
technicians who work as individuals rather than in units. They are not
providing more living space per occupant than the other Services-
merely more privacy. Their construction program pursues their ob-
jective within Congressional statutory authorization limits by reduc-
ing space in lounges and other common use areas. The committee sup-
ports the Air Force program..
HOSPITAL PROGRAMS
ARMY
The Army program for fiscal year 1974 represents a moderate in-
crease of approximately $5 million over last year's request.
'The fiscal year 1974 Military Construction, Army program includes
$89,609,000 for medical facilities to provide for one new hospital, one
hospital addition, three dental clinics and one medical/dental clinic.
Also included are parking facilities in support of the new hospital
uhder construction at Walter Reed Army Medical Center. The single
new hospital included is a replacement for the outmoded and inade-
qSate plant at the United States Military Academy which has been
constructed piecemeal since 1890. The single hospital addition is for
the purpose of expanding outpatient facilities at the hospital con-
cerned. That project reflects the continued trend in the military health
care system toward increasing demand for outpatient medical care.
That demand is partially due to changes in concepts of health care
delivery. Whereas in the civilian sector the increased demand for
health care is noted across the spectrum of health related businesses,
institutions and offices of private practitioners, nearly all aspects of
the military health care delivery system are physically located within
the hospital. Thus, changes in concepts of delivery of health care as
well as in the amount of care demanded by the patient manifest them-
selves in the military system, to a great extent, as increased hospital
outpatient requirements.
Included within this program are two prototype dental clinics. The
clinics are designed on a modular concept which permits ready site
adaptation to accommodate the number of dental treatment rooms re-
quired as well as certain types of supporting facilities. These clinics
are designed to take maximum advantage of available professional
dental resources through more efficient utilization, allowing each den-
tist to treat or supervise care for patients in as many as four chairs.
The first major increment of the Army's accelerated health facili-
ties modernization program will be initiated with next year's military
construction program, to include an extensive series of electrical/
mechanical upgrade projects to bring existing permanent hospitals
up to current fire, electrical, safety and accreditation standards, as
well as major additions, improvements and replacement facilities.
The West Point Expansion Program has been underway for several
years and the fiscal year 1974 budget request continues to implement
that program. Three projects are contained in this year's increment;
modernization of barracks, utilities expansion, and a new hospital.
The key project is the proposed new hospital.
The requirement for a new hospital is derived from two considera-
tions:
a. First, the present hospital is outmoded and inadequate. It was
built incrementally and modified over a period of years, it is inade-
quate for servicing supported strengths, and is located in a highly
congested and noisy area with extremely limited access other than on
foot. This condition limits its usefulness to a significant portion of
the population served.
b. The second consideration is that the present hospital structure is
urgently required to meet other USMA expansion requirements.
c. The relocation of the hospital was the second priority project
in the overall Expansion Plan. The project was originally authorized
by Congress in FY 1966, however, due to several circumstances new
Congressional authorization is required. The planned relocation of
the hospital has significantly affected other planning. Other construc-
tion to date, including roads, parking, utilities, academic building,
has been based on the assumption that the hospital would be relocated.
Since a new hospital was planned the existing structure has re-
ceived little more than breakdown maintenance since 1965, as noted
above. Building systems requiring the expenditure of substantial
funds, if the structure is continued in use as a hospital for any ex-
tended period, include: the high pressure steam system, electrical
service and branch wiring, both hot and cold water systems; the cen-
tral dictation, nurses call, personnel paging and telephone systems
require replacement; three building elevators require replacement;
existing piecemeal air-conditioning requires major expansion and
rehabilitation.
Overall, the actual building configuration is a limiting factor in
accommodating the increasing staff, treating an increased number of
patients, and providing the medical services that are required.
Hospital equipment replacement in the existing structure has been
kept to a minimum since it was anticipated that a new hospital would
be constructed. Failure to provide a new facility in the near future
would require a major expenditure for new equipment for which pro-
curement was deferred during the past seven years. It is doubtful that
the type and amount of equipment could be properly accommodated
in the existing building.
The estimated cost of the hospital is $25 million, a point that has
raised considerable question. Improvements in the state of the art of
medic~4 care facilities in the past two years have resulted in increases
ifi- costs because of upgraded standards for electrical, mechanical, en-
vironmental, and fire protection systems which have been incorporated
in the West Point design. For example, new standards adopted by the
Veterans'Administration; HEW, and the American Society of Heat-
ing, Ventilation and Refrigeration Engineers have brought about bet-
ter, but more expensive systems for temperature and humidity con-
trol, air conditioning and filtration. Also, new NFPA fire codes have
required such things as higher fire ratings for walls and doorways
along the major paths of egress from the building. In addition, recent
developments in diagnostic and therapeutic equipment, as well as new
codes and standards, have placed greater demands on the quantity and
reliability of electrical service, its flexibility, and the number of service
terminals required.
Historically, construction costs at West Point have been very ex-
pensive. Several prime and subcontractors who have recently bid on
projects at West Point were contacted informally and questioned with
regard to the magnitude of risk and contingency factors that they
had applied to their bids. From the responses given, it is concluded
that contractors add a factor of 50% to all labor costs at West Point
as compared to similar projects in other areas.
An alternative to a new hospital would be to renovate and modern-
ize the existing facility. This alternative has been investigated and the
results further support constructing a new facility. The estimated
space requirements under modern criteria are just over 157,000 square
feet. The present hospital can only provide just over 93,000 gross square
feet of usable space. An ancillary clinic building would also be re-
quired to provide the remaining area. Engineering estimates for reno-
. eating the existing structure and providing an additional clinic build-
ing are approximately $21 million. Also, facilities, estimated to cost
approximately $3.6 million, would be required to house those activi-
ties which are now programed to move into the old hospital building
upon completion of a new hospital. Further significant considerations
are the serious degradation of medical service during the renovation
(apt to extend over several years) and the fact that the resulting fa-
cility would still be located in a very congested area with very limited
access to the users.
The Committee approved $20,000,000 for the hospital.
The condition of Army medical facilities in overseas areas, particu-
larly Europe, has been a matter of concern for some years. The major-
ity of medical facilities now being used by the Army in Europe were
not designed and constructed ifi a manner which lends itself:to the
needs of the modern health care delivery system. Existing designs re-
sult in inefficient use of personnel at a time when professional medical.
resources within the Arny are declining in quantity. Many years of
austere funding for maintenance and repair has resulted in physical
plants which are marginal and in some cases shabby.
Projects in Europe programed over the next five years to effect.
minimal correction of current conditions include one new medical-
dental clinic, one medical clinic addition, one dental clinic, one.new
optical laboratory and major alterations, improvements or renova-
tions to seven hospitals. It is the opinion of the Committee that the
Army and the Department of Defense should start negotiations with
the host government in overseas areas, particularly Germany for re-
pair of hospitals. In Germany, these hospitals are owned by the Ger-
man government. This Committee will not look with favor upoqpU.S.
Government funds being used to repair hospitals in Germany.
NAVY
The Secretary of Defense has recognized a serious need to up-
grade facilities to assure the effective delivery of a high level of health
care and has approved a program for modernizing military medical
facilities.
The goal of the medical modernization program is to replace or up-
grade all health care facilities to comparable civilian standards by the
mid-1980's in order to continue to provide military persoitnel and
their dependents a high level of health care and to attract and retain
professional medical personnel by providing them with new/mnodexn
facilities in which to work.
The medical modernization program approved by the Secretary of
Defense provided new funding levels to accelerate the replacement
and modernization of obsolete hospitals, dispensaries and dental clin-
ics and to upgrade some relatively new facilities to meet recently
changed standards of the National Fire Protection Association, the
Joint Committee on Accreditation of hospitals, Department of De-
fense planning and construction criteria and other nationally recog-
nized organizations and codes. The Committee strongly endorses the
objectives of this program.
The Navy's FY 1974 program requested a significant increase for
medical facility construction over the program appropriated last year
and is the first increment of the medical modernization program's five
year plan.
The following table compares the FY 1974 medical program with
the FY 1972 and FY 1973 programs:
Fiscal year:
1974--------------------- -------------------------- $37, 993, 000
1973 ------------------------------------ 44, 384,000
1972 .------------------------------ ------------ 27,866,000
At the time of development of the five year medical modernization
program (spring 1972), Navy deficiencies amount to 684 million dol-
lars (construction costs only based on FY 1974 dollars). Because of
,program adjustments at various levels of review, the continually
.aging and obsolescence of our present plant, and more recent cost
estimates, it will be necessary to extend the medical modernization
.program. into FY 1979, or later, depending upon appropriations ob-
tained. For FY 1975 through 1979, the medical modernization pro-
gram is expected to cost between $100 and $150 million.
AIR FORCE
The Committee notes that the Air Force has proposed projects
which will continue to strengthen the Air Force Hospital Concept
and its emphasis on a comprehensive health care delivery system
within a regionalized framework.
The Air Force Hospital System is an organized health care system
within the continental United States based upon the concept, of
regionalized medical care with facilities of different sizes and capa-
bilities in specific geographic subdivisions. The United States is di-
vided into areas, each served by an Area Medical Center. Each area
is further subdivided into regions, each served by a Regional Hospi-
tal. The number of regions within each area is determined by the
eligible Department of Defense beneficiary population to be served
and the capabilities of existing Air Force facilities.
Air Force hospitals constructed up through the mid-1960s generally
allocated greater space to the inpatient area than to the outpatient
'activity. However, during the 1960s, there was a national shift to in-
creased emphasis on outpatient care, and hospitals constructed before
this change. have proven to be functionally inadequate. The Air Force,
at the direction of the Department of Defense, has identified those
facilities which require modernization or replacement through the
Military Construction Program.
Projects of this type have been supported by this Committee in the
recent fiscal year programs. Among those medical facilities recently
enlarged and modernized were these: fiscal year 65-Homestead Air
Force Base, Florida; fiscal year 66-Wright-Patterson Air Force
Base, Ohio;. fiscal year 68-Columbus Air Force Base, Mississippi;
fiscal year, 69-Sheppard Air Force Base, Texas; fiscal year 70-
Blytheville Air Force Base, Arkansas; fiscal year 71-Langley Air
Force Base, Virginia; fiscal year 72-Hill Air Force Base, Utah;
and fiscal year 73- Eglin Air Force Base, Florida.
The fiscal year 74 Military Construction Program contains 12 health
facility projects. Three of these projects involve total replacement of
the.aged, professionally obsolete composite medical facilities at F. E.
Warren Air Force Base, Wyoming; Laughlin Air Force Base, Texas;
RAF Upper Heyford, England; which have been in use for 86 years,
18 years, and 49 years, respectively. The other three composite medical
facilities in the program at Maxwell Air Force Base, Alabama;
Richards-Gebaur Air Force Base, Missouri; and Tinker Air Force
Base, Oklahoma; involve additions and alterations principally ad-
dressing the problem of inadequate space for outpatients in the clinics,
the pharmacy, the laboratory, the X-ray department, and the other
'aeas serving these patients.
The Committee also recognizes the gross deficiencies to be rectified
by the replacement of the functionally obsolete dental clinics at Barks-
S. Rept. 548, '93-1--2
dale Air Force Base, Louisiana, and Shaw Air Force Base, South,
Carolina, and the addition/alteration project involving the dental
clinic at Keesler Air Force Base, Louisiana.
To permit the vacating of temporary facilities, the committee notes
the proposed construction of vital aeromedical staging facilities at
Andrews Air Force Base, Maryland, and Scott Air Force Base, Ill-
inois. Finally, the alteration of an existing dining hall on the Medina
officer training base at Lackland Air Force Base, Texas, will provide
a small dispensary for the officer candidate trainees.
COMMUNITY FACILITIES
ARMY
The Army has again proposed a significant program for Community
Facilities as an important segment of an overall soldier oriented
budget. Their program for $34.4 million approximates the $45.6 mil-
lion approved in last year's appropriation and presents a well-balanced
mix of facilities. This Committee is aware of the need for providing
adequate facilities for welfare, recreation and leisure time activities
for the soldier and his dependents. Many activities must still function
in temporary World War II or permanent pre-World War II struc-
tures that are no longer adequate.
This year's Army program includes commissaries, a chapel center,
a gymnasium, a confinement facility, a post office, service clubs, and
dependent schools overseas. The requirement for this mix of commu-
nity facilities in the Army is directly related to the corresponding
service provided in the civilian community. The remoteness and large
population of many Army installations generally preclude use of civil-
ian community facilities.
AIR FORCE
The fiscal year 1974 Air Force request for Community Facilities
totals $24.5 million after authorization actions. This is a decrease of
$31.8 million from the amount appropriated in fiscal year 1973. Com-
munity facilities includes: Gymnasiums, Libraries, Chapels, Com-
missaries, and Enlisted and Officer Open Messes. The Air Force feels
that these and similar Morale and Recreation facilities are essential
to the maintenance of a quality force. The Committee supports this
position and feels that the Air Force current achievement of their
all Volunteer objectives is directly related to these efforts to provide
adequate community support facilities for its people.
MAINTENANCE FACILITIES
ARMY
This year's Army military construction bill contains five projects,
totaling $16.4 million, for maintenance facilities and represents a
balance between depot and organizational level maintenance facility
needs. Two of the projects are for aviation maintenance activities.
This dollar total closely approximates the $15.9 million for mainte-
nance facilities approved by this Committee in fiscal year 1973.
The Army continues to have a very sizable backlog of maintenance
facility requirements, estimated at over $850 million, needed to re-
place World War II temporary type structures and reduce outright
shortages at many installations. After an intensive study, many fa-
cility deficiencies have been specifically identified across-the full range
of maintenance responsibilities and scheduled into upcoming Army
construction programs. It is anticipated the Army FY 1975 efforts
toward providing adequate maintenance facilities will be at a level
at least double that of fiscal years 1973 and 1974. The Committee
expects the Army to remedy this facility shortage-an area that has
been one of the Army's most significant problems in equipment
readiness.
NAVY
Naval Shipyards and Naval Air Rework Facilities are industrial
complexes essential for Fleet logistic support. The objectives of the
Shipyard and Naval Air Rework Facilities modernization programs
are to reduce operating costs, improve the efficiency of industrial oper-
ations, attain balanced capacity based on projected need for workload
and mission assignments, and provide new capabilities required to
support new weapon systems and changing technologies of the Fleet.
The long range Shipyard Modernization Program is a capital in-
vestment program to upgrade and modernize the Naval shipyards and'
improve yard surge capacity to react to limited or general war situa-
tions. Fleet readiness will be significantly improved through increased
yard responsiveness both to Fleet regular overhaul and emergency
repair requirements. The program incorporates the long range devel-
opment of management techniques required to exploit scientific ad-
vances and increased productivity. It was initially conceived as a 10
year program with the first full increment approved by Congress in
FY 1970. However, levels of funding required for accomplishment
within the 10 year timeframe were not obtained for fiscal years 1970
through 1974 and Shipyard Modernization has been significantly
delayed.
A very significant step was taken by the Navy this year with regard
to its shipyard posture. On 17 April 1973 it was announced that both
the Boston and Hunters Point Naval Shipyards would be closed.
By eliminating this excess industrial capacity from the inventory and
consolidating workload in other yards located near Fleet concentra-
tions, the Navy's backlog of modernization work was reduced by some
$320 million.
Notable achievements toward modernization of the Naval shipyards
have already been realized through the Shipyard Modernization Pro-
gram. However, continuing changes in Fleet size and composition, the
recent Shore Establishment Realignment actions directly and indi-
rectly affecting naval shipyards, and the austere outlook for future
facilities budgets dictate the need to update or restructure the mod-
ernization program to reflect these conditions in terms of valid long
range facility and equipment requirements. Accordingly, in mid fiscal
year 1974, the Naval Ship System Command has scheduled to com-
mence a restructuring of the original Kaiser Engineer firm Shipyard
Modernization Study for all shipyards with exception of Boston and
Hunters Point which are scheduled for closure and Portsmouth, N.H.,
which was not included in the original study (a modernization study
for Portsmouth, N.H., was completed in April, 1972). Following com-
pletion of this restructuring the proposed capital' investment program
'for the modernization of Naval shipyards will. be appropriately
revised. . .
The program to modernize the facilities and equipmeNnt .n e Navy's
Naval Air Rework Facilities commenced in FY 1969YPrior:_t this
very little improvements to these plants had 'been made since-- World
War II. For example, from FY 1960 through 1968, an average of only
$2.35M was appropriated annually for construction at all the facilities.
These amounts were clearly insufficient to keep World War II vintage
plants capable of meeting today's increased and more complex work
load. Obsolete buildings and equipment contributed to increases in
aircraft in-process time, higher rework ccosts and failure to meet Fleet
work load requirements. Longer rework time resulted in fewer operat-
ing aircraft available to the Fleet. Studies conducted on rework pro-
grams for three first line fighter and attack aircraft during 1967 and
1968 showed that investments in new buildings and equipments would
result in substantial reductions in aircraft rework time, slow the rapid,
escalation in customer costs to a more normal level, and improve
rework efficiency. The modernization program is the result of an
extension of this evaluation to all aircraft models at all rework
activities.
Future rework level is expected to show only minimal reductions.
Even though the Navy's aircraft inventory and flying hours will de-
cline, this will be offset by increased man-hours required to rework
the more complex aircraft now in operation and being developed.
Consolidation of the rework facility resources was carried out with
the April 1973 announcement of the closure of Naval Air Rework
Facility Quonset Point. The remaining six rework facilities can absorb
the Quonset Point workload with improvement in the overall utiliza-
tion rate. The trend towards concentrating Navy-wide capability at
individual rework facilities will be furthered by this action. The fund-

The Navy has not been able to program at the originally conceived
correction rate of ten years for the Naval Air Rework Facility Mod-
ernization Program or the Shipyard Modernization Program in recent
years because of overall Military Construction budget constraints, the
need to program personnel support, pollution abatement and other
urgent programs.

The Committee notes that the Air Force is aggressively improving
force effectiveness and reducing costs through this logistics depot
modernization program. Improved force effectiveness is obtained by
increasing logistics responsiveness through the provision of modern
facilities and equipment for maintenance, supply and transportation
activities in the logistics depots. With these new improvements, repair
times are reduced, worker productivity enhanced and the quality and
reliability of the weapon systems maintained increased. In the process,
the depots are acquiring the technological capability to support the
new, more sophisticated systems needed to meet today's threat. The
demand for efforts, such as this, is even greater today than when the
program was started two years ago.
The objective is to maintain a depot logistics plant that can rapidly,
effectively and efficiently meet the needs of the deterent forces or pro-
vide a base for mobilization, if needed, in a national emergency.
Maintenance manpower is being reduced as programmed increases in
productivity occur so that total organic depot production will not
increase. In fiscal year 1973, this reduction amounted to 761 depot
maintenance personnel spaces; in fiscal year 1974, there will be 464
more reductions; and by fiscal year 1978, if the program remains on
scheduile,- an accumulated equivalent of 3,360 depot maintenance man-
power spaces will be reduced. Old buildings and equipment are being
disposed of as their replacements become available. By 1978, the total
space occupied by depot maintenance and supply activities will be less
than it is today. As a result, the cost of maintaining these deteriorated
facilities will be eliminated and depot maintenance capacity will not
increase. An auditing system has been established to ensure that the
above occurs and that maximum benefits are indeed achieved..
The Air Force is just beginning to realize benefits from the fiscal
year 1971 MCP Depot Plant Modernization Program forerunners.
Kelly AFB began to use the largest of these, a $15.7 million Depot
Engine Overhaul Facility, in March and will start receiving full bene-
fits by October 1973. This facility will operate with 200 fewer person-
nel than required to accomplish the same programmed workload in
the WW I shops and old warehouses formerly used. Reduced engine
procurement, made possible by repair time reductions achievable in
this facility, amounts to over $14 million. Because of these benefits,
the investment cost will be amortized after approximately one year of
operation.
BASE CLOSURES
ARMY .
In January 1973 the Secretary of the Army and the Chief of Staff
announced a series of major management actions designed to modern-
ize, reorient and streamline the Army's organization within the Con-
tinental United States. In April 1973 the Secretary of Defense
announced a number of facilities realignment actions to scale down the
Department of Defense base structure commensurate with reduced
force levels and training requirements.
The reorganization of the Army is designed to improve readiness,
training, the materiel and equipment acquisition process, the quality
and responsiveness of management and better support for the soldier
in an era of constrained personnel and budget resources. Although
improved efficiency is the main purpose of the Army reorganization,
these management actions will also result in reduced operating costs
and manpower savings. The reorganization will be essentially com-
pleted by 31 December 1973.
The detailed planning process which resulted in the reorganization
was coordinated closely with the Army's concurrent planning for base
realignments announced by the Secretary of Defense on 17 April. The
Army's base realignment plan includes consolidation of service school
activities, closure of one general hospital, reduction of depot activities,
and closure of bases for which a need no longer exists.
These two actions are being carried out within the budget con-
straints of FY 73/74 and when fully realized, total annual savings
from these two actions were originally estimated at approximately
$248 million, with over 21,000 manpower spaces eliminated.
As a result of this reorganization and realignment 524 excess family
housing assets were generated at four Army bases. Final disposition of
the units at Hunter Army Airfield, Georgia, (506 units), Valley Forge
General Hospital, Pennsylvania (2 units), and Fort Wolters, Texas
(5 units) has not been determined. Eleven units at Charleston Army
Depot, South Carolina will be transferred to Navy control. At Hamil-
ton Air Force Base, California, the family housing assets will be
transferred from the Air Force to Navy control and will be operated
for use by all Services. About 200 units are occupied by Army
personnel.
NAVY
The program reviewed by the Committee included 25 projects total-
ing $45,918,000 which are needed to implement the Navy's planned
Shore Establishment Realignment as announced by the Secretary of
Defense on 17 April 1973. The Navy has indicated that, in addition,
approximately $46 million dollars will be required in next year's pro-
gram to support the realignment. Since the time of submission of the
FY 1974 program, the Navy has been able to reduce its FY 1974
requirement to $45,199,000. According to present Navy estimates
the realignment will permit cancellation of approximately 12
prior year construction projects totaling $23 million and will result
in annual savings of over $200 million. The one time closure costs
associated with the realignment are $277 million including the esti-
mated FY 1974 and FY 1975 military construction costs of $9.1 million.
In addition to the annual savings, the Navy stated that future mili-
tary construction requirements in the amount of $197 million will
no longer be required at the installations closed or with reduced opera-
tions. However, these costs are not included in the estimated $200 mil-
lion annual savings.
The Navy stated that any delay in the Shore Establishment Realign-
ment will result in deferral of the above mentioned savings.
A breakdown of the realignment by categories of activities follows:
S1pyards.-Two shipyards will be closed, the Hunters Point
Naval Shipyard, San Francisco, California and the Boston Naval
Shipyard, Boston, Massachusetts.
Air stations.-Four will be closed and two will have operations
reduced. The Naval Air Stations to be closed are Quonset Point,
Rhode Island; Albany, Georgia; Glynco, Georgia; and Imperial
Beach, California.
At the Naval Air Station, Alameda, activities will be realigned and
activities at the Naval Air Station, Lakehurst, New Jersey will be
significantly reduced.
Naval air rework facilities.-One will be closed at Quonset Point,
Rhode Island.
Naval hospitals.-Three hospitals will be closed at Portsmouth,
New Hampshire, St. Albans, New York and Chelsea, Massachusetts.
Training centers.-The Naval Training Center, Bainbridge, Mary-
land will be closed.
Naval complexes.-The greater portion of the Naval Complex at
Boston will be phased out by reduction and disestablishment of ac-
tivities.
A large portion of the complex at Newport and Quonset Point,
Rhode Island will be phased out by the realignment or reduction of
activities.
The Naval Station Complex, Key West will be disestablished. Sig-
nificant reductions and realignment of activities will take place at the
Naval Complex, New York City.
In Philadelphia, the Naval Air Engineering Center will be dis-
established. The Marine Corps Supply Center will be closed and es-
sential functions relocated to other Marine Corps Supply Facilities.
Family housing.-As a result of the Shore Establishment Realign-
ment a total of 2,200 adequate and 1,064 substandard family housing
units will be excessed from the Navy inventory. The Navy will ac-
quire 2,170 adequate. family housing units from force realignments of
other Services which will help to alleviate the housing situation at
these locations.
AIR FORGE
In April 1973, the Air Force announced major closure and realign-
ment actions at six bases. As a result of this action, there will be ulti-
mate savings of $91 million in Air Force future expenditures (see
chart below). The actions were made possible by: (1) the reduction
of older model B-52 bombers at Westover AFB, Mass., and McCoy
AFB, Fla.; (2) the consolidation of C-130 tactical airlift aircraft
fkom Forbes AFB, Kansas, with other airlift units which were in a
more favorable location to operationally support Army airlift require-
ments; (3) the reduction in overall pilot training requirements which
permitted termination of training at Laredo AFB, Texas; (4) the
consolidation and relocation of smaller missions from Hamilton AFB,
Calif., and Ramey AFB, Puerto Rico to other major installations.

With respect to Military Family Housing at closed Air Force bases,
the Air Force has, since 1966, entered into seven revenue producing no-
cost protection and maintenance (P&M) revenue producing contracts
with local governmental agencies, housing authorities, or other non-
profit entities to provide care and custody and rental service with re-
duced and/or no requirement for appropriated funds. The contracts
covered 3,585 Capehart, 1,601 Wherry, 505 appropriated fund, and-
150 Lanham Act (inadequate) family housing units. Through 31 Au-
gust 1973, $4,108,176.91 over and above operational expenses have been
collected in rentals of which $3,875,924.30 have been returned to the
Department of Defense Family Housing Management account. The
balance currently being held in an Air Force suspense account will 'be
transferred to the Department of Defense Family Housing Manage-
ment account in the near future.
Since 1962, in excess of $27,000,000 in proceeds resulting from the
sale of houses on closed bases has been returned to the Department of
Defense Family Housing Management account.
CONSTRUCTION BACKLOG
ARMY
The Army estimates its construction backlog at approximately $7
billion, of which $4 billion is for replacement and modernization.
SAFEGUARD, NATO Infrastructure and overseas construction re-
quirements are excluded from these totals. The Army is striving to hold
this estimated backlog to manageable proportions by including only
hard requirements and purging less essential items that realistically
would probably never be built. With an estimated backlog of this mag-
nitude it is difficult to register any significant annual reduction in the
overall total. Newly identified requirements added to the program.and.
rapidly increasing construction costs combine to nearly offset annual
construction efforts. The Army's program is focusing on projects en-
hancing the soldiers' living conditions and well being. Specific pro-
grams have been outlined which will essentially eliminate deficits in
bachelor housing and medical facilities by the end of this decade. Un-
fortunately, the backlogs in other construction categories are not ex-
pected to be reduced significantly within current funding levels.
17
NAVY
The Navy has advised the Committee that it has a backlog of essen-
tial Military Construction projects of almost $7.7 billion. This is bro-
ken down between new missions, current missions, and replacement
and modernization as follows:
BREAKDOWN BY TYPE
Percent

Replacement and modernization.....----------------------------- ------ ---------- 3.1 40.2
Total deficiencies--..--------------------............--------------------------...................... 7.7 100. 0
The Navy estimates that the annual funding needed to correct these
deficiencies is $800 million. The following table shows the funding re-
ceived, the trend toward achieving the annual funding goal, and the
rate at which the Navy has been working to correct new mission, cur-
rent mission and replacement and modernization deficiences.

The Committee believes that programs of at least the size of that
approved for FY 1974 will be required in the future to provide the
most urgently required projects included in the Navy's construction
backlog.
AIR FORCE
The Air Force's construction backlog of facility requirements for
the active force has been estimated at $6.8 billion. This Committee
is advised that this' is approximately 29 percent of the total DOD
deficit of $23.2 billion and, that this backlog is in all categories of
facilities. Further, these deficiencies are most noticeable in the opera-
tions, maintenance, medical, bachelor housing, and community sup-
port areas. The distribution of this year's funding request fully sup-
ports this contention.
The Committee notes with particular interest that the Air Force
has placed an increased emphasis on the replacement and moderni-
zation of its physical plant. Most noteworthy is the emphasis on
improved living conditions. Funds for replacement and moderniza-
tion have increased substantially from a low of $5 million in FY69
to $110 million-in FY73, and this year's fund request of $192 million,
or X69 percent of the total amount requested for Air Force construction,
S. Rept. 548, 93-1- 3
is a positive reflection of its stated intentions to place primary em-
phasis on identifying existing facilities which can be economically
altered, or modernized to the new requirements and whose usable
life is extensible.
The Committee is cognizant of the fact that future' progress in
overcoming this deficit in construction hinges largely on a marked
reduction in inflationary trends of the nation's economy and the
ultimate development of a funding level capable of liquidating cur-
rent deficiencies while maintaining an appropriate effort to cope with
the changing status of today's usable facilities.
POLLUTION ABATEMENT
ARMY
The Committee notes that the Army is continuing its aggressive
policy of programing projects to control air and water pollution. Dur-
ing the program years 1968 through 1973 this committee has approved
appropriations for air and water pollution control projects in the
aggregate amounts of $72.4 million and $117.2 million respectively.
The Army program this year is somewhat reduced from recent years,
amounting to $7.3 million for air pollution control and $7.1 million
for water pollution control.
Passage of PL 92-500 in October 1972 placed further requirements
on both government and industry in controlling water pollution. The
Army advises that future year requests will be made for water pol-
lution control projects to meet these new requirements.
NAVY
Since fiscal year 1968 this Committee has approved appropriations
in the amount of $52 million for air pollution abatement projects and
$146 million for water pollution abatement projects at-Naval activities.
This year's program includes an additional $27.636 million for air
pollution abatement projects and $55.107 million for water pollution
abatement projects.
These projects will reduce particulate, smoke and gaseous emissions
into the atmosphere, provide solid waste disposal facilities, treatment
and collection facilities for industrial and sanitary wastes and facil-
ities to improve oil handling capability to conform to local, state and
Federal standards.
The projects included in the Navy request will correct all known
cases in which Naval activities are in violation of local air and water
standards except where projects should be delayed in order to phase the
projects with the facilities of local governmental bodies; these projects
where design of the facility will not have progressed to the point where
contracts may be awarded during the fiscal year; and, those projects
that are pushing the state of the art, i.e., where a satisfactory method
of abating the pollution has not been found, so that detailed design
may be started. Additional requirements can be expected as more:
stringent standards are established by local, state or Federal
governments.
Significant increases have occurred in the Navy's pollution abate-
ment programs over the last several years. The following table com-

Note:The committee recognizes that additional requirements for pollution abatement will be generated as more stringent
air and water standards are established by local, State, and Federal governments.
AIR FORCE
The Committee notes that, in keeping with national environmental
protection policies, the Air Force is continuing its program for abating
pollution at all its installations. Working from a base of an investment
of over $250 million in facilities for wastewater collection and dis-
posal, the Air Force has, since 1967, spent over $121 million from all
accounts for pollution abatement at its installations.
Of this amount, this Committee has approved Military Construc-
tion appropriations of $31 million for air pollution abatement projects
and $54 million for water pollution abatement projects. This year we
propose $9.8 million for projects to assure compliance with current
air and water quality standards.
The $9.8 million proposed in this year's bill (over 3% of the regular
Military Construction Program), consists of 21 line items of which
$6.1 million is for control of water pollution and $3.7 million is for
air pollution control. The air pollution control projects reflect the
initial state implementation of the Clean Air Act Amendments of
1970 and are primarily directed toward providing vapor recovery sys-
tems for fuel tanks and providing controls at the Eielson AFB heating
plant to enable the Air Force to use coal and still comply with air
quality standards.
The water pollution control projects represent the initial steps to
compliance with the Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amend-
ments of 1972. These provide for sanitary and industrial waste treat-
ment and connection to municipal or regional systems where feasible.
Also included are projects for complying with new host nation stand-
ards established for several overseas installations. The Committee has
been advised that all projects included in the bill have been coordi-
nated with the Environmental Protection Agency.
The Committee anticipates much larger environmental protection
construction programs in the future as more stringent quality stand-
ards are promulgated by the several states and the Environmental Pro-
tection Agency under recent legislation. The Air Force is expected
to continue to play a leadership role in environmental restoration and
protection.
The Committee endorses the pollution abatement program and is ap-
proving the full amount approved for authorization. As indicated m
previous reports, the Committee considers pollution abatement of
equal importance with mission essential requirements at Defense
installations.
AccEss ROADS
ARMY
The Defense Access Roads program is to respond, on a.fairly short
reaction time, to access road requirements important to national de-
fense. The program supplements construction of access highways to
defense activities otherwise provided in the public roads program
which normally require a three to five-year lead time. Over the past
decade, the Army portion of the program has averaged approximately
$1 million per year. No funds were originally requested in the fiscal
year 1974 Army program because no specific project requirements
had been identified. Also a reasonable unobligated balance was avail-
able from prior year appropriations to respond to unforeseen require-
ments. Subsequent to the budget submittal, late developing projects
have been undertaken utilizing a large portion of the unobligated
funds available. The Army access roads program will therefore re-
quire an infusion of new funds in future budgets to retain a responsive
posture.
The Committee added $2,000,000 for the Army.
NAVY
For a number of years, the Navy has received $1,000,000 for urgent
access road projects for which authorization is obtained from United
States Code, Title 23, Section 210. In last year's appropriation bill,
the Navy was given $3,000,000 to reduce the mounting backlog of un-
funded access road projects. However, because of increased construc-
tion costs and new requirements, the Navy still has an unfunded back-
log over $6,000,000. The Committee feels it prudent to fund this year
at the $2,000,000 level to reduce the backlog of these urgent projects.
Therefore, the Committee approved $2,000,000 for access roads.
With the funding of $2,000,000, the Navy anticipates satisfying a
majority of the following urgent access road requirements through
the Federal Highway Administration during the fiscal year 1974:
West entrance road-NAS Pensacola, Fla ----________________ _ $750, 000
4-lane improvement-NAS Meridian, Miss----417, 000

Road relocation-NADC Warminster, Pa .. -------___________- 822, 400
Total --------------------------------------------- 3,000,000
AIR FORCE
Since 1968 the Air Force has received a total of $6,500,000 in new
appropriation for defense access road needs. These funds are fully
committed to projects which are under construction or are in an ad-
vanced stage of design. New requirements have been recently identified
in the amount of $5,300,000; however, because of budgetary restric-
tions and other operational priority requirements, the Air Force has
not been able to include funds for these requirements in its appropri-
ation request.
In addition, the Committee notes with particular interest that Kees-
ler Air Force Base, Mississippi has made known a requirement to
improve Pass Christian Road in the city of Biloxi. This heavily trav-
eled two lane road is used by over 12,100 vehicles per day which are
generated solely by the Air Base. Further, that historically, in the
event of a national disaster, this is the only base access road available
for evacuation of personnel and valuable equipment. Both the City
of Biloxi and Keesler Air Force Base agree that the only positive
solution to this requirement is to reconstruct Pass Christian Road to
four lanes.
The Committee further notes that the Air Force recommends that
this project be certified and the Military Traffic Management and
Terminal Service has indicated that they will certify the project.
Defense access road funds in the amount of $3,000,000 will be required.
Therefore, in view of the existing backlog of unfunded requirements,
and this urgent project at Keesler Air Force Base, the Committee be-
lieves that funds in the amount of $2,000,000 should be provided now
so that construction can begin on this worthwhile project. The Com-
mittee has approved $2,000,000 for access roads.
PLANNING AND DESIGN
ARMY
The Army's fiscal year 1973 obligation for planning and design,
excluding SAFEGUARD and Site Defense, totalled $30.4 million.
An additional $0.3 million was utilized for SAFEGUARD and Site
Defense design. The unobligated design funds carried over from FY
1973 to FY 1974 for the regular Military Construction, Army pro-
gram was $5.7 million. The Army has requested $39 million for plan-
ning and design in FY 1974, which is consistent with the increased
design program anticipated. No additional design funds were re-
quested or SAFEGUARD or Site Defense.
It is noted that the Army's cost for design effort (excluding SAFE-
GUARD) on projects deleted by the Congress, revisions to conform
to new standards and redesign for changed conditions, totalled ap-
proximately $3.9 million over the last 2 years. The advance design
process 'permits orderly development of designs in advance of ap-
propriations for construction which allows earlier award of construc-
tion contracts, thereby avoiding cost escalation that would more than
offset the cost of lost design effort. The FY 1972 and FY 1973 lost
design costs were 0.94% of construction expenditures for those two
years as compared to an average construction cost escalation rate of
9.7% per year during this period. The Committee urges the Army
to continue its efforts to improve management of design and construc-
tion to the end that a greater portion of the annual program is con-
tracted as early as possible to reduce the adverse impact of cost
escalation.
Unlike construction, for which cost of supervision and administra-
tion is billed to customers at a flat-rate, design services are billed at
actual costs to include both A-E contract costs and a proportionate
share of related District office supervisory and administrative costs.
Costs of general supervision at Division office and Headquarters levels
are not billed.
NAVY
The funds provided each year for planning and design are used to
assure the development of sound scope and good cost estimates for
projects submitted to Congress for consideration, and to develop final
designs in time to allow award of construction contracts for these
projects in the budget year. The Navy exerts continuous management
effort on the orderly development of designs in order to assure timely
construction awards with minimum lost design effort. These planning
funds are also used for the design of Urgent Minor and Emergency
Construction projects, special studies and the preparation of standard,
definitive plans. Approximately 90 percent of the appropriation for
this planning and design effort is used for contracts to architect-
engineer firms and the remaining 10 percent is used for in-house
design.
As of 30 June 1973 the Navy's unobligated balance of funds ap-
propriated for planning and design was $353,542. The original ap-
propriation request for planning and design by the Navy in the FY
1974 Military Construction, Navy Program was $53,800,000. Sub-
sequently, the Secretary of Defense increased this request by $4,000,-
000 to cover a deficiency in Navy planning and design funds caused
primarily by the acceleration of the medical facilities modernization
and pollution abatement programs.
This committee recommends appropriation of funds for planning
and design in the amount of $57,800,000.
Of the total requested by the Navy $10,800,000 is for planning and
design of the support facilities for the TRIDENT Weapons System.
Planning and design fund obligations during FY 1973 for TRIDENT
were $1.171,345. The TRIDENT obligation rate will accelerate during
FY 1974. Should additional funds be required for TRIDENT, they
will be obtained from appropriated planning and design funds and
funds remaining will be applied to the planning and design of other
military construction projects.
AIR FORCE
On June 30, 1973, the unobligated availability in Air Force planning
and design funds was $5,115,642, all of which was required to'complete
the design of the fiscal year 1974 program presently under review by
the Congress. Of this amount, all but approximately $0.6 million has
been funded to the design agents to be applied to the design completion
of the fiscal year 1974 Military Construction Program. It is anticipated
that all of these funds will be obligated prior to the end of 1973.
The $18 million of design funds requested in the Air Force fiscal year
1974 Program are intended for completion of the design of this pro-
gram, initiation of design of the fiscal year 1975 Program, and advance
planning and concept design for medical facilities in the proposed
fiscal year 1976 Military Construction Program. In the past five years,
the Air Force has received appropriations for planning and design
as follows:
Fiscal year : Millions

1970 --------- ------------------------------------- 23. 6

CONSTRUCTION SUPERVISION AND ADMINISTRATION
ARMY
During fiscal 1973, the Army's Corps of Engineers continued the
close management required to produce quality and economy in con-
struction and at the same time maintained its charges for construction
supervision and administration at the 5.0 percent rate established on
1 July 1972. These charges for construction supervision and adminis-
tration have been progressively reduced from a 7.5 percent rate in
effect in 1963 when the system was instigated to the 5.0 percent rate
currently in effect through intensive management to adjust organiza-
tion to meet workload changes and a continuing program to improve
techniques and management. Additionally, one-time savings totalling
approximately $3.1 million in FY 72 and $0.8 million in FY 73 were
refunded by crediting to each affected project 0.6% of the cost of direct
construction placed in FY 72 and 0.15% of the cost of direct con-
struction placed in FY 73. Thus the final charge to the user was re-
duced to approximately 4.5% in FY 72 and 4.85% in FY 73. The com-
mittee urges the Army to continue its cost effective techniques and
methods of construction supervision and management. The Committee
will continue to monitor very closely the S.I.O.H. costs that the Corps
of Engineers charges the Army for construction.
NAVY
The Committee is aware of the progress the Navy has made in de-
veloping cost effective procedures to minimize the costs for planning
and design of military facilities. Among these procedures are the
management techniques being used to reduce the expenditure of funds
during the planning stage by making optimum use of standard, repeti-
tive designs with good historical cost data. Further, a combination of
design concepts has been developed which permits evaluation and se-
lection of the most cost effective method available. Among the more
notable of these have been the master designs for bachelor quarters
whereby a single design is site adapted and constructed at many loca-
tions, the use of design/construction contracting (turnkey) proce-
dures, and the use of computer-aided design. It is encouraging to note
the success that the Navy has had in the use of turnkey construction
and the fact that this concept is being considered for further applica-
tions.
This Committee notes the Navy's continued efforts to provide su-
pervision and inspection at minimum cost.
The current overhead rate of 6 percent is still considered high and
the Committee would like to see this reduced further. However, the
Committee is aware that construction administration costs within the
Naval Facilities Engineering Command Headquarters are charged
to supervision, inspections and overhead. Headquarters ,costs are
funded from operation and maintenance appropriations in the Army
and Air Force Program.
NATO INFRASTRUCTxRE
The NATO Infrastructure program is under the supervision of the
Assistant Secretary of Defense (International Security Affairs).
Department of the Army is the executive agent for the program. This
program provides the facilities necessary to support NATO military
forces which are intended for common use or have a high degree of
common interest. The program covers such varied items as airfields, air
defense facilities, communications, missile sites, war headquarters,
nuclear storage sites, pipelines, and Petroleum, Oils and Lubricants
depots.
Now that the program has provided most of the basic facilities re-
quired in the common defense, its character is gradually changing. The
requirement for major air and naval installations has given way to
the new requirement for modernization and expansion of existing
basic facilities. Airfields must be improved so that they can support-
today's more complex aircraft. The Petroleum, Oils and Lubricants
system must be modified to insure its ability to function, in an emer-
gency, independent of that part of the system located in France. Prog-
ress in technology has resulted in a dramatic change in the communi-
cations area. One example is the project for the NATO satellite
communications system, which was based on the U.S. interim defense
communication satellite system. On January 27, 1971, the second
NATO-funded communication satellite was launched from Cape
Kennedy. Both satellites, now in orbit, are performing very well. Re-
placement satellites are programmed for launch in 1975. Another ex-
ample is the semiautomation and integration of NATO's early warning
system to provide a control and reporting system for the air defense
of Allied Europe. In order to make the program fully responsive to
the needs of the new NATO "flexible response" strategy and associated
force planning, we must provide facilities to support reinforcement on
the flanks, improved air defense, and conventional capabilities for
NATO air forces.
In 1970 the NATO Defense Planning Committee approved the fi-
nancing of a 5-year infrastructure program for the years 1970-74--
Slices XXI through XXV-and agreed that the ceiling be set at $700
million. The agreement provides that NATO military commanders
will program those urgent military requirements which can be accom-
plished within the ceiling, and report the financial condition after pro-
graming of Slice XXIV in 1973. The current costsharing formula-
U.S. share 29.67 percent-remains unchanged, but the recent devalua-
tion of the dollar will result in a higher dollar cost.
In December 1970, the Eurogroup-NATO less France, Portugal,
United States, and Canada-offered an additional $420 million to the
infrastructure program as part of the European Defense Improve-
ment Program-EDIP-to permit urgent implementation of the
NATO Integrated Communications System and of the NATO aircraft
shelter program. The Eurogroup has since announced that the entire
$420 million will be made available to Supreme Allied Commander,
Europe for the shelter program, thus permitting early recoupment of
United States funds spent in constructing shelters on a prefinanced
basis and relieving the pressure on the infrastructure funds to allow
programing of additional NATO Integrated Communications System
projects.
Each year the major NATO commanders draw up a list of construc-
tion or modernization projects which they consider essential for the
support of their forces. These projects are reviewed multilaterally by
the participating nations within the NATO Military Committee, the
NATO Infrastructure Committee, and finally within the Defense
Planning Committee (which is the North Atlantic Council without
France). The projects finally selected make up the yearly Infrastruc-
ture Program or Slice. In the United States, each proposed annual
slice is reviewed thoroughly within the executive branch, starting with
the interested subordinate military commands and continuing through
the U.S. Commander in Chief, Europe, and the Commander in Chief,
Atlantic, to the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the military departments, the
Department of State, and all interested offices within the Office of the
Secretary of Defense.
The approved NATO slice is an approved list of military construc-
tion requirements and nothing more. After slice approval, the host
country in which a project is to be built takes full responsibility for
the work. It must obtain the necessary land (at its own expense),
plan utilities connections and access roads (which it later builds at its
own expense), prepare engineering plans and specifications, and de-
velop cost estimates. When all is ready, the host country submits the
project with all supporting data to the NATO Payments and Progress
Committee for construction authorization and fund commitment. Be-
fore agreeing, the Payments and Progress Committee satisfies itself
that the project still represents a valid military requirement, conforms
to NATO criteria, is reasonable in cost, and is in other respects eligible
under NATO Infrastructure rules. When the Payments and Progress
Committee authorizes construction of an Infrastructure project, the
United States obligates funds for its share of that project.
The new orientation of the program is providing a large proportion
of facilities needed by the United States forces. In particular, it sup-
ports controlled humidity storage to maintain in good condition the
equipment of our dual-based forces. The program will also include air-
craft survival measures which are now being implemented by the
United States Air Force, with the approval of Congress, on a "pre-
financed" basis.
5. Rept. 548, 93-1--4
The 1972 program includes an air weapons training facility in the
Mediterranean to replace the facility lost in Libya. It also contains
vital fuel facilities for the United States Navy, and contemplates ad-
ditional facilities in the 1973 program for the naval bases in Sicily and
Crete. The proposed Slice XXIII Infrastructure program includes
airfield protection, including shelters, at Ramstein, Zweibrucken, Bit--
burg, Spangdahlen, and Aviano. Additional shelters have been pro-
gramed in Slice XXIV and more have been proposed for Slice XXV.
Reimbursement will be effected after Slice approval and subsequent to
submittal by host nations and approval by the NATO Payments and
Progress Committee of individual estimates. This process requires 12
months and longer.
The United States enjoys a greater benefit from this NATO pro-
gram than could be expected from the size of our contribution. Ex-
cluding facilities for common use by all nations-facilities which
would in any case have required common funding-the United States
has had significant success in convincing NATO that U.S. programs
are worthwhile. In 1968 Slice XVIII included U.S. projects in the
amount of 40 percent of all projects for use by national forces. In Slice
XIX this percentage rose to 47 percent; for Slice XX to 55 percent,
for Slice XXI, 68 percent; and for Slice XXII, 58 percent. In the five
annual programs therefore, over 56 percent of all such national user
projects were programed for benefit of U.S. forces, but the U.S. con-
tribution remains at 29.67 percent of the entire program (or some 18
percent if the Euro-Group EDIP contibution is added to the total of
normal Infrastructure funding). It is apparent, therefore, that the
U.S. has a distinct financial interest in the continuing success of the
NATO Infrastructure Program and that as long as U.S. national
programs fit into the available common funds, the U.S. will benefit
directly from this NATO effort.
The initial request for fiscal year 1974 for the U.S. share of the
common funded NATO Infrastructure Program is $80,000,000 in au-
thorization, $60,000,000 in total obligation authority and $40,000,000
in new obligation authority. Subsequently a budget amendment was
submitted requesting an additional $25,300,000 in authorization and
total obligational authority and $4;300,000 in new obligational author-
ity. 'However, this amendment was received too late to be .acted upon
by 'Congress. These funds are required to meet U.S. obligations dur-
ing FY 1974. These projects were previously approved by NATO
in the NATO annual programs (Slices) and received final approval
for construction and funding from the NATO Payments Progress
Committee. It is anticipated that recoupments from projects pre-
financed will total $26,000,000 in FY 1974.
The high cost of recent dollar devaluations is having an increas-
ingly adverse impact on the ability of the United States to support
and participate in the NATO Infrastructure program. The total cost
of U.S. dollar devaluations in FY 1973-74, for the U.S. share of the
NATO Infrastructure program is $63 million. FY 1973 costs are $23
million, none of which were provided for in the DOD FY 1973 budget.
These unbudgeted FY 1973 costs were accommodated by canceling
and deobligating $10.3 million of projects and deferring $12.7 mil-
lion projects to FY 1974. Including provision for projects deferred
from FY 1973, the devaluation of the dollar will increase the cost
of the FY 1974 program by $52.7 million. Only $6.7 of this require-
ment is provided for in the initial DOD FY 1974 budget. The situa-
tion is approaching the point where the U.S. will be forced to defer
participation in the infrastructure program because of a lack of
funds. The impact of non-participation by the U.S. is outlined by
Deputy Secretary of Defense Clements in a recent letter to the Chair-
man, Committee on Appropriations United States Senate, as follows:
Such a U.S.-caused moratorium would be seriously disruptive. It
would run completely counter to past U.S. exhortations that NATO
countries improve their military forces and do more for themselves.
It would inevitably lead to diplomatic protests that internal U.S.
procedures are preventing these countries from using their own funds
to construct high priority military projects. There would also be an
adverse effect on U.S. military posture, because we have in recent
years enjoyed a very substantial return on our Infrastructure invest-
ment in the form of projects benefitting U.S. forces. Further, the
Allies could question the seriousness of our proposal for a larger
1975-1979 program with a reduced U.S. cost share if we are unable
to meet the requirements of the existing program.
"NATO Infrastructure is a continuing program, where U.S. actions
are taken pursuant to commitments previously made by the U.S. We
have agreed to a long range (five year) cost sharing plan. This has
been reaffirmed in terms of specific projects at time of approval of
the annual slice programs. Any U.S. action to delay project imple-
mentation would be seriously damaging to the Alhance and to the
U.S., since most of the national user projects are for U.S. Forces."

The Navy's proposed FY 1974 Military Construction Program
includes $6.0 million of projects eligible or partially eligible for NATO
common funding. These projects are being proposed for prefinancing
to achieve early completion in support of urgent operational require-
ments in the Mediterranean Sea.
The projects in Navy's proposed FY 1974 Military Construction
Program considered fully or partially eligible for NATO common
funding are shown below:

Total...------.....---------------- 6.0
The estimated total amount prefinanced by Navy for FY 1973 and
prior is $14.7 million. As of 31 December 1972, $0.7 million of the pre-
financed amount had been recouped from NATO. The $14.0 million
balance is currently considered potentially recoupable from NATO
Infrastructure, after the individual projects are included in a NATO
program (Slice). Slice 23 approved in February 1973, included $0.5
million of the $14.0 million balance, and recoupment of this $0.5 mil-
lion is anticipated shortly. Slice 24, pending approval by NATO,
includes an additional $0.4 million for Navy prefinanced projects.
Navy's projected recoupment from NATO Slice 25 is $5 million.
The Committee approved these projects for military construction
prefinancing with the understanding that 'the Navy will make every
effort to recover the funds from future NATO programs.
OFFSET AGREEMENT, FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF GERMANY
ARMY
In fiscal year 1968, the United States Army, Europe initiated a con-
certed effort to upgrade troop living conditions in the 165 kasernes
housing Army troops in Germany. The major effort involved complete
renovation of barracks and dining facilities in 120 of the worst
kasernes, emphasizing complete rehabilitation of latrines, shower
rooms, heating systems, lighting, electrical outlets, structural features,
and painting. This program came to be called stem-to-stern and
originally was estimated to cost an average of $4 to $6 per square foot
compared to approximately $25 per square foot for new construction
in Germany.
Stem-to-stern work was financed at 26 kasernes with a total of
$62.4 million of Operation and Maintenance, Army funds from five
fiscal year budgets, fiscal year 1968 through fiscal year 1972. Due to
contract change orders the total cost is now $76 million. Except for
the effort of Labor Service forces, the work was contracted for directly
by the United States Army Engineer Command, Europe, which super-
vises the construction through their field organization. The rehabilita-
tion is now complete at 24 kasernes and nearly complete at the other
two.
Under the 10 December 1971 Offset Agreement, the Federal Re-
public of Germany provided 600 million Deutsche marks during fiscal
years 1972 and 1973 for services and deliveries for modernization,
construction and improvement of barracks, accommodations, housing
and troop facilities of U.S. forces in Germany. Army's share was 576
million Deutsche marks and Air Force's was 24 million Deutsche
marks per agreement between Commander in Chief, United States
Army, Europe and Commander in Chief, United States Air Force,
Europe. The Federal Republic of Germany will continue the rehabili-
tation of the Army troop billets and dining facilities that are in the
stem-to-stern program as well as those at other sites where stem-to-
stern is not contemplated. It was estimated that available funding
would be adequate to cover the next 61 kasernes on the United States
Army, Europe, priority listing.
The Offset rehabilitation work, to United States criteria and specif-
ications, is contracted for and administered by the German construc-
tion authorities. At the time of the agreement, the Engineer Command
had stem-to-stern design packages for 10 kasernes essentially com-
pleted and turned over to the Federal Republic of Germany authori-
ties before the end of January 1972. The first contract, for Drake-
Edwards Kaserne in Frankfurt, was awarded on a expedited basis on
21 January 1972. Twenty additional kaserne design packages were
completed and turned over to the Federal Republic of Germany au-
thorities during the period April to June 1972.
During, fiscal year 1973 progress continued very satisfactorily and
by 1 September 1973 renovation under the Offset program had been
completed at Wilkins Kaserne and contracts were underway at 43
others at a total current working estimate of 457 million Deutsche
marks. In addition, the German construction authorities had adver-
tised projects for 11 more kasernes and 27 border and remote sites.
The remaining requirements to complete the rehabilitation of troop
barracks and dining facilities have been proposed by the Department
of Defense for inclusion in the next round of Offset negotiations. The
Committee hopes that action will be taken by the Department of De-
fense and the Army to negotiate another Offset program to rehabilitate
,the remaining Kasernes.
AIR FORCE
The December 10, 1971 Offset Agreement between the United States
and the Federal Republic of Germany resulted in the United States Air
Forces, Europe receiving $7.2 million to upgrade 69 barracks at eight
bases.
The Committee notes that as of September 1, 1973, construction was
complete at four bases, with the remaining four ranging from 75 to 98
percent. The total program is 93 percent complete.
MINOR CONSTRUCTION
ARMY
Although most of the Army's urgent construction requirements are
met through regular Military Construction, Army (MCA) program-
ing, unanticipated requirements develop which must be accomplished
on a more timely basis than provided by normal MCA programing.
Minor construction funding is the only method available to accom-
plish these facility needs. Work accomplished under this minor con-
struction authority in the past fiscal year has touched nearly all facility
classes contributing to Army readiness. Recently, minor construc-
tion activity has increased, due in great part to the turbu-
lence within the Army caused by troop redeployments to the United
States from Vietnam, and reorganization and realignment of the
Army with changes in missions or functions and troop relocations.
This higher level of activity is expected to continue and has gener-
ated a larger dollar request to support minor construction in fiscal year
1974.
NAVY
The Navy has made increased use of minor construction authority
over the past few years. During fiscal year 1974, major emphasis is on
short establishment realignment facilities moves and construction.
There has also been an increased use of the new three-year pay-back
criteria and new emphasis developing with respect to fuel conserva-
tion. Future increases in the requirement for military construction
can be expected in these areas. Additionally, continuing cost escalation
will further erode the scope that can be accomplished with the cur-
rent project limits and will reduce the number of valid requirements
that can be satisfied through the program.
AIR FORCE
The Committee notes that the construction accomplished under the
Minor Construction Program supports rapid changes in technology
and mission deployments that are vital for effective military oper-
ations. Adequate support facilities have been or are being provided
such as: bachelor housing in Alaska and Korea, additional storage
capacity for heating fuel oil at 17 CONUS locations, and mission
deployments generated by base closures. Operational safety has been
enhanced at bases by the installation of navigational aids, aircraft
arresting barriers and runway lighting. Classified missions, affecting
the defense posture of the United States, have been supported. Total
fund requirements depend upon the number of situations which arise
throughout the year that can be certified as being urgently required
so that they cannot be deferred until the next regular construction
program. With the enactment of PL 92-145, however, special consid-
eration was provided for projects that will, within three years follow-
ing completion of the project, result in savings in operation and main-
tenance costs in excess of the cost of the project. The Air Force has
stated that the number and cost of such projects will be closely mon-
itored to preclude any loss in flexibility in providing support for
urgent projects. To date 10 projects having a total funded cost of
$1,255,300 and claiming first three year savings having a present value
of $2,165,300 have been approved.
NAVY TRIDENT SUBMARINE WEAPONS SYSTEM SUPPORT COMPLEX
The Committee has approved $112,320,000 for construction at
Bangor, Washington and Cape Canaveral, Florida to support the
TRIDENT system.
The TRIDENT system is being developed to insure that our nation
has a modern, survivable strategic deterrent system in the 1980's
and beyond. TRIDENT will preserve the sufficiency and high credi-
bility of our strategic deterrent throughout this century. It will be
available to replace current sea-based strategic systems as technology
advances and age reduces their mission effectiveness and be assigned
to augment current strategic deterrent systems. Finally, it will have
greater survivability due to the large available operating area made
possible by the longer range of the new missile.
The total military construction program identified with the deploy-
ment of ten TRIDENT submarines is expected to extend through FY
1979 with a total facilities costs, excluding family housing, of about
$510 million dollars. With the addition of $33 million dollars for
planning and design, the total cost will be about $543 million dollars.
When the program was presented a year ago, the cost estimated for
facilities was approximately $1 billion dollars. The Navy was able to
reduce the cost by the following methods:
(a) Elimination of depot level submarine maintenance at the
TRIDENT Support Complex site and the transfer of this support
to shipyards.
(b) Reduction of the military manning level by the transfer of
some functions to civilian personnel with a resultant reduction in
bachelor and family housing facilities requirements.
(c) Reduction of the facility support level from 15 to 10 ships
lowered the facilities requirements.
(d) Re-examination of the requirement for concurrent high
explosive operations and reductions in some of the explosive
safety factors internal to the base permitted a reduction in the
land required at the Bangor Support Complex.
(e) More detailed examination of the facilities cost for the
Bangor site vice the use of an estimate that would approximate
the cost of any one of four candidate sites.
The Trident Military Construction program for FY 1974 includes
facilities at both Cape Canaveral and the Trident Support Complex,
Bangor, Washington. Those at Cape Canaveral are the missile flight
test facilities. The facilities are required in FY 1974 so that the missile
development flight test program may commence in 1975.
The facilities required at the Trident Support Complex, Bangor are
asfollows:
(a) Trident Training Facility (1st Increment): This facility
is required in fiscal year 1974 so that construction and equipment
installation can be completed in time to meet the required
ready-for-training date of 1 January 1977. This will be the start
of training for the second Trident crew. The first crew will have
to be factory trained.
(b) Covered Explosive Handling Wharf #1: Refit Pier #1.
These facilities are required in fiscal year 1974 to allow construc-
tion at the waterfront to proceed in an orderly, efficient manner,
to avoid an unacceptable high peak workload, and thus to reduce
the environmental impact of the construction.
(c) Utilities (1st Increment): Site Improvements (1st Incre-
ment). These facilities are required in fiscal year 1974 so that the
primary roads and utility systems may be in place prior to the
start of the peak construction period. They are required to pro-
vide electric power to the construction sites and access to the
sites in the extremely rainy winter weather encountered at
Bangor.
(d) Land Acquisition. Funds for land acquisition are required in
fiscal year 1974 so that negotiations with the land owners can begin
as soon as possible. Land acquisition can often become bogged
down in protracted negotiations involving court suits. It is es-
sential that these negotiations begin early in the program.
Additionally, it will increase public support for the Trident
Support Complex if land owners are dealt with promptly and
fairly and not left holding their land longer than is necessary.
The Committee accepts the Navy reasoning and endorses the above
timetable. The Committee expressed its general support of the Trident
program by approving $13.5 million in fiscal year 1973 for planning
of the program.
NAVY, ATHENS HOMEPORTING
The Committee has approved construction to enable the home-
porting of a destroyer squadron and an aircraft carrier in Athens,
Greece in the belief that this will enable the Navy to continue to meet
its overseas commitments while undergoing reductions in manpower
and ship force levels. The Navy asserts that without homeporting in
Greece two carrier task groups cannot be kept operational in the
Mediterranean, given the reduction from fifteen to twelve aircraft
carriers in future years and All-Volunteer Force constraints.
A secondary purpose of homeporting offered by the Navy is the
improvement of morale and the increasing of personnel retention
rates and enlistments caused by allowing its men to live with their
families in Athens and reducing family separations. Family separation
is a major cause of low retention. In this respect, this initiative will
conserve the Navy's most vital resource-skilled people. Homeporting
will reduce the need for carriers and escorts to make rotational transits
from East coast bases to the Mediterranean at six month intervals.
This benefit accrues to Navy personnel homeported in the United
States as well as overseas.
The Committee notes that Athens homeporting will not increase
the number of Navy personnel in the Mediterranean. The long-stand-
ing two carrier task group force level will remain unchanged. The
homeported ships simply replace ships formerly in the Mediterranean
on rotational deployment.
Phase I, including the homeporting in Athens of the Task Force
Commander and staff, and a six ship destroyer squadron, was com-
pleted in September 1972. A Fleet Support Office was established in
July 1972 to coordinate establishment of schools, medical/dental
facilities and the execution of leases. All facility support requirements
are provided by lease or lease-construction. A Technical Arrangement
between the U.S. Navy and Greek Navy has been signed.
The program approved this year will allow implementation of the
second phase of the Athens homeporting plan.
Phase II has been approved in principal by the Government of
Greece and State Department. A dependents' support ship (USS
SANCTUARY) will be homeported to provide medical/dental support.
This phase will also homeport one aircraft carrier and one air wing in
Athens.
The Committee notes that the Navy's current estimate of costs
associated with homeporting in Greece are within original estimates
as shown below:

DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY
MILITARY CONSTRUCTION, ARMY
The Committee has approved a total of $567,735,000 for Military
Construction for the Active Forces, and $75,900,000 for the Reserve

S. Rept. 548, 93 6----
FIRST NAVAL DISTRICT
The Committee has allowed $2,952,000 for projects at Naval
installations in the states of Maine and New Hampshire.
The significant projects approved are an operational trainer build-
ing project at the Naval Air Station, Brunswick, Maine which will
provide facilities for training flight crews in the directional JEZEBEL
Sonobuoy system; and one project for the Portsmouth Naval Ship-
yard, Portsmouth, New Hampshire (Kittery, Maine) that will
improve the operational capability of this shipyard. The project
approved at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard is an additional crane
rail project.
No projects were denied funding by the House in this district.
THIRD NAVAL DISTRICT
In this district $11,564,000 was approved for projects' at Naval
installations in the states of Connecticut and New Jersey.
The significant projects approved were a bachelor eilisted quarters
modernization project for 1,322 men and an electrical tie and distri-
bution line project at the Naval Submarine Base, New London,
Connecticut; an engineering building project at the Naval Underwater
Systems Center, New London Laboratory, New London, Connecticut
that will replace existing facilities and provide space for engineering
and scientific personnel engaged in the research and development of
Sonar and Accoustic Sensor systems; and a Military Sealift Command/
Atlantic relocation project at the Military Ocean Terminal, Bayonne,
New Jersey.
The Committee has restored two projects denied by the House.
These projects are the engineering building in the amount of $3,600,-
000 at the Naval Underwater Systems Center, New London, Con-
necticut and the Military Sealift Command/Atlantic relocation
project at the Military Ocean Terminal, Bayonne, New Jersey.
The Committee believes the physical plant facilities for the develop-
ment of sensors for submarine program should not limit the Navy's
ability to keep pace with current sensor and related technology,
which may be the case without the new engineering building. The
relocation project was restored to provide the administrative spaces
needed for relocating the Military Sealift Command from the Brooklyn
Army Terminal to Bayonne, New Jersey.
FOURTH NAVAL DISTRICT
The Committee approved $180,000 for projects at Naval installa-
tions in the state of Pennsylvania. The project approved is a computer
support facility at the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard. A primary
substation expansion project at the Naval Air Development Center,
Warminster, which is a low priority project, was denied. This project
was also denied by the House.
NAVAL DISTRICT WASHINGTON
In this district $18,182,000 was approved for projects at Naval
installations in the District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia.
In Maryland the projects approved include the Maury Hall rehabil-
itation project at the Naval Academy; an environmental health effects
laboratory at the Medical Research Institute, Bethesda; and a fire
protection system modifications project at the Naval Ordnance
Station, Indian Head. In Virginia, the two projects approved were:
an amendment for the sewage treatment plant expansion project at
the Naval Weapons Laboratory, Dahlgren, and a hospital alterations
project at the Naval Hospital, Quantico, Virginia.
In the Naval District Washington, the significant project approved
was an electromagnetic test and analyses laboratory at the Naval
Research Laboratory. This project will provide facilities to conduct
basic research required to develop and evaluate counter measures
against hostile weapons systems, such as the cruise missile.
At the Naval Academy, the Committee restored the $300,000
reduction for the Maury Hall Rehabilitation project, since the reduced
funding for this project could result in some spaces remaining un-
finished and unusable. The Navy advises that all the spaces are
required, therefore, if unfavorable bids were received for this project,
the Navy .could be in the position of having to request additional
authorization and funding in a subsequent year. Based on recent
trends in the construction industry, cost escalation will continue and
the net result could be a more costly rehabilitation of Maury Hall.
FIFTH NAVAL DISTRICT
The Committee approved $50,263,000 for projects at Naval instal-
lations in the state of Virginia.
The significant projects approved are: an applied instruction build-
ing project at the Fleet Combat Direction Systems Training Center,
Atlantic, Dam Neck, that will provide facilities to support the Combat
Information Training Center being relocated from the Naval Air
Station, Glynco, Georgia; a dispensary and dental clinic at the Naval
Amphibious Base, Little Creek, Virginia that will provide a new
facility to replace an existing substandard facility; and a helicopter
maintenance hanger project at the Naval Air Station, Norfolk, that
will provide hangar space for on-board helicopter units and 37 addi-
tional units being transferred to the station from the Naval Air
Station, Lakehurst, New Jersey. At the Naval Station, Norfolk, three
significant projects approved are: a berthing pier project to provide a
pier with cold iron utilities that will accommodate ships that are too
large to use existing berthing spaces; an applied instruction building
project that will provide instructional and administrative space for
the Fleet Sonar School being relocated from the Naval Station, Key
West, Florida; and a pier utilities project that will provide cold iron
utilities to the nuclear submarine pier.
At the Naval Air Station, Oceana, an aircraft systems training
building project was approved to provide a maintenance training
facility and an addition to the flight training building to house equip-
ment to train pilots and ground crews in the F-14 aircraft systems. At
the Norfolk Naval Shipyard, Portsmouth, Virginia, four projects were
approved. The machine shop project will alter and install an addition
to, the inside machine shop to provide consolidated, efficient work
spaces. The bachelor enlisted quarters project will provide 516 men
with modern living spaces that meet current habitability standards;
and an enlisted men's dining facility project will provide a new con-
solidated messing facility and replace the existing temporary deteri-
orated facility. The remaining project, a utilities improvement project,
will provide the fifth increment for upgrading existing utilities systems
required for the overhaul and repair of ships. At the Naval Weapons
Station, Yorktown, the torpedo overhaul shop project will provide a
facility for maintenance and operational support of the new MK-48
torpedo weapons system.
An amendment of $3,400,000 was added by the Armed Services Com-
mittee for the FY 1972 land acquisition project at the Naval Station,
Norfolk. This amendment was added to give the Navy authority to
acquire leasehold interests of tenants and to pay appropriate re-
settlement and relocation costs to the tenants as authorized by
Public Law 91-646, the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real
Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970. The Committee approved
the $3,400,000 in appropriations for this amendment.
The Committee approved the appropriations for this Amendment
so that the Navy may proceed to properly compensate and relocate
all the tenants at one time instead of on a piece meal basis as originally
planned. It seems to the Committee that the intent of Public Law
91-646 was to properly compensate tenants, not only for their interests
in the real property and improvement, but also for their relocation
expenses. Any delay in providing for relocation will work a severe
hardship on the numerous small businesses located on the land.
SIXTH NAVAL DISTRICT
In this district $66,930,000 was approved by the Committee for
projects at Naval installations in the states of Florida, Georgia,
Mississippi, South Carolina, and Tennessee.
Several projects approved for this district are associated with the
Navy's Medical Facilities improvement program. These projects are
a medical/dental support facilities project at the Naval Aerospace
Regional Medical Center, Pensacola; a dispensary and dental' clinic
at the Naval Air Station, Whiting Field; a dispensary and dental
clinic at the Naval Air Station, Meridian; and an addition to dispen-
sary project at the Charleston Naval Shipyard, Charleston, South
Carolina. Other significant projects approved in this district are: an
intermediate maintenance facility at the Naval Air Station, Cecil
Field that will provide a maintenance facility principally for airborne
electronics equipment for the S-3A aircraft; an aircraft final finish
facility and utilities project at the Naval Air Rework Facility, Jack-
sonville; a nuclear power training building at the Naval Training
Center, Orlando; a systems development and test facility project at
the Naval Coastal Systems Laboratory, Panama City; an electronics
warfare training building and bachelor enlisted quarters projects at
the Naval Communications Training Center, Pensacola; the second
phase of the New Naval Home at Gulfport: and finally an applied
instruction building at the Naval Air Station, Memphis. At the Naval
Air Station, Jacksonville, a land acquisition project in the amount of
$2,200,000 originally required only authorization, since it was planned
to acquire the land by exchange through the excessing of approxi-
mately 142 acres in the Jacksonville area. Subsequent to the submission
of the project to the Congress, it was determined that the $2,800,000
in authorization would be required.
The Committee has added funding in the amount of $2,400,000 to
permit acquisition of 365 acres of land at the Naval Air Station,
Jacksonville, needed to forestall possible residential development
which could lead to impairment of flying activity. Navy subsequently
advised that an exchange cannot be accomplished in view of a claim
by the Corps of Engineers to acquire the bulk of the proposed trade-off
land for dumping of spoils dredged from Jacksonville harbor.
The Committee's decision to provide funds for an outright cash
purchase is given in the interest of protecting a substantial investment
m the Naval Air Station, but with reservations as to future Defense
plans for the lands previously proposed for exchange. It is not clear
whether the proposed dumping of dredge spoils is even viable in view of
possible economic or ecological damage to land which appears to have
a relatively high current market value.
The Committee desires that the feasibility of acquisition through
full or partial exchange be restudied, and that the consent of the
Committee be obtained prior to taking contractual action to acquire
the land contiguous to the Air Station or otherwise disposing of the
land originally proposed for exchange.
The Armed Services Committee during their deliberations on the
authorization bill added two projects because they believed the
requirements for the projects warranted their inclusion in this year's
bill. The Committee approved appropriations for both projects and
for one restoration of damaged facilities project at the Naval Supply
Corps School, Athens, GA., as shown in the following tabulation:
[In thousands]

At the Naval Air Rework Facility located at the Naval Air Station,
North Island, a maintenance hanger project was approved to provide
an addition to the E-2 rework hangar to accommodate the increase
workload which has been generated by the more complex electronic
systems installed in the E-2 aircraft. The Naval Air Station, North
Island will become the homeport for all West Coast rotary wing air-
craft squadrons when the transfer of all helicopter activities from the
Naval Air Station, Imperial Beach has been completed.
An electronics development and test laboratory project was
approved to provide a controlled electronics environment with
electromagnetic shielding for integration and testing of command
control, communications, and surveillance systems at the Naval
Electronics Laboratory Center, San Diego.
Two projects were approved at the Naval Station, San Diego,
California. The berthing pier project will provide additional berthing
space required to accommodate ships being relocated from the Naval
Station, Long Beach. The pier utilities project will provide "cold
iron" utilities and structural repairs to Pier 5.
At the Naval Training Center, San Diego a bachelor enlisted
quarters project was approved to provide modern living quarters for
504 men.
At the Navy Public Works Center, San Diego, a steam distribution
project was approved to provide steam distribution lines to berthing
piers from the new steam plant approved in FY 1973. This will
permit more ships to go "cold iron."
A bachelor enlisted quarters project for 468 men was approved at
the Navy Submarine Support Facility, San Diego and a pier utilities
project to provide "cold iron" utilities to two piers bemg used by
submarine tenders and attack submarines.

yard, Bremerton, Washington.
No projects were denied funding in this district by the House,
FOURTEENTH NAVAL DISTRICT
$15,694,000 was approved for projects at Naval installations in
the state of Hawaii.
A summary of the requirements for the significant projects approved
in this district will be provided in the following paragraphs.
At the Naval Air Station, Barbers Point a dispensary and dental
clinic was approved to replace the existing functionally inadequate
facility.
A perimeter fence and security culverts project was approved at
the Naval Ammunition Depot, Oahu to improve and complete
existing security features which only provide one-half of the fencing
and culverts needed.
An evaluation center project at the Naval Station, Ford Island
was approved to provide facilities to expand the center to accom-
modate new equipment that will increase the capability of the Anti-
Submarine Warfare System.
A bachelor enlisted quarters project was approved to modernize a
quarters and mess for 474 men at the Naval Submarine Base, Pearl
Harbor.
At the Naval Communications Station, Honolulu a satellite com-
munication terminal project was approved to provide facilities for
programmed Phase II Satellite Communication System. At the same
station a VLF antenna modifications project was approved to correct
deficiencies in the antenna which require a reduction in operating
power and a lowering of the signal strength to an unacceptable level.
The Committee restored the enlisted men's dining facility at the
Naval Station, Pearl Harbor in the amount of $1,345,000. A study
of the requirement for this project shows that the present facility
had several years ago outlived its useful life on the basis of sanitary
conditions, esthetics and economics. The building is also remotely
located from the bachelor enlisted quarters it serves which exposes
personnel to the hazards of walking along and across a busy in-
dustrial roadway that serves the harbor area. On the basis of these
requirements, the Committee restored the project.
MARINE CORPS
The Committee has approved $51,019,000 for Marine Corps
installations in the states of Arizona, California, ,,Georgia, Hawaii,
North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia.
The Marine Corps program continues a major effort to satisfy
deficiencies in Bachelor Enlisted Quarters and in other personnel
support facilities, such as a gymnasium and commissary. The re-
mainder of the Marine Corps program includes utilities projects,
air/ground operational facilities, a combat training complex,'an
applied instruction facility and an administrative; facility at the
Marine Corps Supply Center, Albany, Georgia. This administrative
facility will allow relocation of the Inventory Control Point from the
Marine Corps Supply Activity, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to
Albany, Georgia.
The Committee restored funding for the commissary project at the
Marine Corps Air Station, Yuma, AZ in the amount of $999,000. The
Marine Corps advises that they will not be able to maintain a viable
commissary modernization program within the limited dollars gen-
erated by commissary profit reserves and also accomplish this project
from those reserves.
The committee denied funding in the amount of $3,825,000 for the
dispensary at the Marine Corps Recruit Depot, San Diego, without
prejudice to a future program.
TRIDENT FACILITIES-UNITED STATES
The Committee approved $112,320,000 for the various locations
TRIDENT Facilities-United States project, which is the same
amount appropriated by the House. This is a $6 million reduction
from the amount authorized for this project, but a reduction ac-
ceptable to the Navy. The Navy advised that this reduction could
be absorbed this year in the land acquisition and utilities areas. A
detailed discussion of the requirement and the facilities to be con-
structed under this project were provided earlier under the general
section of the report.
POLLUTION ABATEMENT
Inside the United States
The Committee approved $78,748,000 for two projects located inside
the United States.
Approved for air pollution abatement was $27,636,000 and for
water pollution abatement $51,112,000.
A detailed description of the facilities to be provided under the water
and air pollution abatement projects was provided in the general
section of this report.
OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES
TENTH NAVAL DISTRICT
In this district the Committee approved $14,852,000 for projects at
one Naval Complex and one Naval installation in Puerto Rico, the
West Indies. At the Naval Complex, Puerto Rico, two projects were
approved. An enlisted men's dining facility was approved to provide a
new messing facility to replace the obsolete deteriorated mess hall at
the Naval Station Roosevelt Roads. At the Naval Security Group
Activity, Sabana Seca an enlisted men's dining facility improvement
project was approved to replace a 32 year old overcrowded and obso-
lete facility. At the Naval Facility, Grand Turk West Indies an electric
power and water project was approved to replace obsolete generators,
and a desalination plant with an efficient electric power and water
plant.
50
In order to permit the Navy to proceed with the relocation of
weapons ranges from Culebra, an appropriation of $12,000,000 was
provided to match the amount authorized for the Relocation of the
Weapons Ranges from Culebra project at the Atlantic Fleet Weapons
Range, Naval Complex, Puerto Rico.
ATLANTIC OCEAN AREA
In this area the Committee approved $11,386,000 for projects at
Naval installations in Burmuda, and Cuba.
An underwater weapons compound project and a power and water
plant expansion project were approved at the Naval Air Station,
Burmuda. Three projects were approved for the Naval Complex,
Quantanamo Bay, Cuba. At the Naval Hospital, an air conditioning
project was approved to relieve patient discomfort by modernizing and
partially replacing the existing air conditioning system. An electrical
generating plant project was approved to provide a new turbine boiler
and a salt water conversion unit to increase power production to meet
anticipated power demands and to increase water production to
eliminate the problems of water rationing. An electrical substations
project was approved to increase power production to meet anticipated
growth and relieve current overloading of the existing system during
peak load (summer months). A bachelor enlisted quarters project and
a bachelor officer's quarters project were deferred in the amounts of
$2,834,000 and $3,258,000, respectively at the Naval Station, Keflavik,
Iceland. These projects were deferred pending the outcome of a new
base rights agreement to be negotiated between the United States
Government and the Icelandic Government.
No projects were denied funding in this district by the House.
EUROPEAN AREA
The Committee approved for this area $10,050,000 for projects at
Naval installations in Greece, Italy, Scotland, and Spain.
For the Naval Detachment, Souda Bay, Crete, Greece, the four
projects approved are: an aircraft parking apron to provide space for
5 P-3 patrol planes and for transient carrier based aircraft; an air
passenger/cargo terminal, a general warehouse and an enlisted men's
club.
Six projects were approved at the Naval Air Facility, Sigonella,
Italy. A photographic building was approved to support the increased
level of aerial photo missions. The other projects approved are: a
public works shop stores addition, a gymnasium, an officers' Club, a
Chief Petty Officers club, and utilities systems improvements to
provide utilities to the administrative area.
A bachelor enlisted quarters project was approved to provide a new
facility to relieve a 50% deficiency in space at the Naval Security Group
Activity Edzell, Scotland, where community support is almost non-
existent. At the Naval Station, Rota, Spain, a tactical support center
project was approved to provide an operational link between the
P-3C ASW Aircraft and shore ASW operations.
The House approved the projects for the Naval Detachment,
Souda Bay, Crete, Greece and the Naval Air Facility, Sigonella, Italy,
but indicated that a portion of several projects should be funded from
savings or by the cancellation of lower priority projects as shown below:
Amount to

The reduction was made by the House on the basis that the Navy
should have been alert to these needs many years ago and should
have programmed these facilities in a NATO Infrastructure Slice pro-
gram. The Committee does not believe the Navy could have improved
substantially on the management of the NATO eligible projects, there-
fore full funding has been provided for these projects.
PACIFIC OCEAN AREA
In this area, the Committee approved $12,458,000 for projects at
one Naval installation and two Naval Complexes in Australia, the
Marianna Islands, and the Republic of the Philippines.
For the Naval Complex, Guam, the significant projects approved
are: a mine assembly facility project at the Naval Magazine Guam
that will provide a mine assembly maintenance and inert parts stor-
age compound for processing a large percentage of mines in the
Pacific area; a wharf utilities project that will provide dockside utili-
ties at the Naval Station, Guam for homeported ships to allow the
.ships to shut down their engineering plants; and at the Naval Public
Works Center the Finegayan telephone exchange project to provide a
facility to house a new 1,000-line dial control office. Also at the Pub-
lic Works Center, a water system improvements project was approved
to increase the production of treated water and to improve the exist-
ing distribution system to accommodate increasing user demands.
Two projects were approved for the Naval Complex, Subic Bay,
Republic of the Philippines. A tactical support center project at the
Naval Air Station, Cubi Point will provide facilities to operationally
link the P-3C ASW aircraft with shore based ASW operations. A
utilities improvements project at the Navy Public Works Center will
replace exposed electrical pier connections with modern connections
to eliminate safety hazards.
The Committee restored the funding for the theater at the Naval
Complex (Naval Station), Guam in the amount of $1,480,000. The
Committee believes the Navy has carefully examined its requirements
for theaters on Guam and that this theater is needed to adequately
serve the personnel of the Naval Station.
POLLUTION ABATEMENT
Outside the United States
Water pollution abatement projects located outside the United
States were approved in the amount of $3,995,000. These projects will
52
provide: A sewage treatment plant expansion at the Naval Station,
Roosevelt Roads, Puerto Rico; a ship waste water collection ashore
system and a water plant backwash control facility at the Navy

construction, of which $30,000,000 is for the reserve forces. The Com-
mittee allowance represents a reduction of $30,702,000 in the budget
estimate of $321,900,000 and is $2,546,000 more than the appropria-
tion for fiscal year 1973. A detailed tabulation, by installations and

AIR FORCE COMMUNICATIONS. SERVICE
The Committee is in agreement with House action to approve
$3,963,000 for two line items at one installation.
AIR FORCE LOGISTICS COMMAND
The Committee has restored $1,887,000 for the construction of an
Aircraft Engine Component Research Facility at Wright Patterson
Air Force Base, Ohio. This provides funding for an important aircraft
engine research facility by modification and alteration to an existing
structure at more than $10 million less than it would take to locate
the facility elsewhere. There is no other facility in the free world in
which this important research can be conducted. The Committee also
deleted a project for the alteration of a Precision Measurement Facility
at Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma, in the amount of $243,000. The
actions result in a total Committee approval of $46,074,000 for this
command.
AIR FORCE SYSTEMS COMMAND
The Committee has restored $462,000 for the construction of an
Automotive Maintenance Facility at Kodiak, Alaska, making a total
program for this command in the amount of $8,582,000.
AIR TRAINING COMMAND
Funds in the amount of $54,089,000 have been approved for this
command. This is in agreement with House action.
AIR UNIVERSITY
The Committee is in agreement with House action to defer the two
line items requested for this command.
ALASKAN AIR COMMAND
Funds in the amount of $8,658,000 have been approved for this
command. This is in agreement with House action.
HEADQUARTERS COMMAND, USAF
The Committee has approved a program of $18,139,000 for this
command. This is $13,500,000 in excess of House action and results
from the restoration of funds to construct Special Aircraft Support
Facilities at Andrews Air Force Base, Maryland. This will provide
facilities necessary to support Boeing 747 aircraft that have been
approved for Air Force procurement.
MILITARY AIRLIFT COMMAND
The Committee has approved funds in the amount of $9,709,000 for
this command. This agrees with House action.
PACIFIC AIR FORCES
Funds in the amount of $7,331,000 have been approved for this
command. This is in agreement with House action.
STRATEGIC AIR COMMAND
The Committee has approved $21,747,000 for this command that is
$1,387,000 less than House approvals. This results from the funding of
$213,000 to enable completion of a WAF dormitory at Malmstrom
Air Force Base, Montana, and the deferral of dormitory construction
at Grissom Air Force Base, Indiana, in the amount of $1,500,000.
TACTICAL AIR COMMAND
Funds for this command have been approved in the amount of
$16,795,000 or $4,206,000 more than that approved by the House.
This results from restorations by the Committee of $2,273,000 for a
commissary at Bergstrom Air Force Base, Texas, and $1,933,000 for
the construction of a Base Personnel Office at Nellis Air Force Base,
Nevada.
U.S. AIR FORCE ACADEMY

POLLUTION ABATEMENT
'The Committee has approved funds in the amount of $9,070,000 for
this program. This is in agreement with House action.
AIR INSTALLATION COMPATIBLE USE ZONES
The Committee recognizes the need for this program but feels that
Air Force efforts to achieve program objectives through community
zoning or land exchanges in the past fiscal year can be carried into the
future. This is in agreement with action by the House Armed Services
Committee.
AEROSPACE DEFENSE COMMAND (OVERSEAS)
The Committee has denied funding for three projects at Keflavik,
Iceland, thereby reducing the program for this command (overseas)
to zero. This action is considered necessary due to the uncertainty of
the continuation of U.S. base rights in Iceland.
PACIFIC AIR FORCES (OVERSEAS)
The Committee approved $7,950,000 for the overseas area of this
command and thereby agrees with House action.
U.S. AIR FORCES IN EUROPE
The Committee has approved funds in the amount of $17,102,000
for this command or $1,326,000 in excess of House action. This results
from committee action to restore funds to fully finance deficiency fund-
58
ing for Air Force projects in Germany that "have been negatively
affected by currency revaluations and severe cost inflation in Germany.

PRIOR YEAR FUNDS UNOBLIGATED
The Committee is in agreement with House action to reduce the ap-
propriation request of the Air Force by $21,800,000 as opposed to an
Air Force offer of $20,000,000. The increase represents a reduction of
$1,800,000 of unobligated funds originally appropriated for use in
Southeast Asia.
AIR FORCE (AIR NATIONAL GUARD)
The Air National Guard fiscal year 1974 Military Construction
Appropriation request of $20.0 million reflects Air Force recognition
of the Committee's fiscal year 1973 concern for expanded sums to
support the increasing need for adequate Reserve forces facilities
m view of the total force policy.
59
The fiscal year 1974 appropriation will enable the Air National
Guard to construct 35 essential operational, maintenance, and training
facilities in 23 states as well as 13 other vital aircraft arresting barrier
and power check pad facilities at various locations. In addition, $4.0
million is provided to support necessary planning and design as well
as essential minor construction requirements.
AIR FORCE (AIR FORCE RESERVE)
In response to the continuing requirement for adequate reserve
facilities to support the changing missions of its reserve components
under the Total Force Policy, the Air Force has requested a fiscal
year 1974 Air Force Reserve appropriation of $10.0 million. This
amount will provide 32 operational, maintenance, and training facili-
ties in 15 states. In addition, this appropriation provides $1.0 million
to support necessary planning and essential minor construction
requirements,
Though this request is somewhat smaller than those of the other
reserve components, it is considered adequate.

$574,000; Defense Supply Agency, $8,370,000; National Security
Agency, $8,156,000; General Support Programs, $2,000,000.
DEFENSE AGENCIES
The budget request for "Military Construction, Defense Agencies"
amounted to $19,100,000. The committee has approved $12,000,000.
This is a reduction of $7,100,000 for fiscal year 1974 and is $24,704,000
below the appropriation for fiscal year 1973.

Budget authority requested.......................----....... 19, 100 0 12, 000
The fiscal year 1974 budget submitted to Congress requested a
program of $49,100,000 and an appropriation of $19,100,000. In
structuring this program, the Department of Defense indicated a
program, or anticipated requirement, in the amount of $30,000,000
for projects which would qualify for funding under DOD emergency
construction authority. The Department further indicated that no
additional funds were required for this purpose on the basis that
unobligated prior year funds were considered adequate to finance
fiscal year 1974 requirements. The unobligated balance in the Secre-
tary's emergency fund totaled $54,429,500 as of June 30, 1973.
The program approved by the Committee, as tabulated above,
provides for essential facilities of the agencies listed. The Committee's
62
allowance of $12,000,000 is the maximum possible in view of action by
the House and Senate Armed Services Committees which gave their
approval for the full program requested for the Agencies, but made a
general reduction of $7,100,000 in the authorization for appropriation.
This action has the effect of applying additional prior year unobligated
emergency construction funds to partially finance the fiscal year 1974
program.
The House has recommended a further reduction of $12,000,000,
which deletes funding in the amount of $3,529,000 for a logistic support
facility at Fort George G. Meade, Maryland, and provides that the
balance of the program be financed entirely from unobligated prior
year funds. The Committee does not agree with the House action, and
recommends approval of the Defense Agencies program as submitted,
subject only to funding constraints resulting from the Armed Service
Committee's actions.
FAMILY HOUSING
The Committee has approved $1,188,539,000 in new appropriated
funds for the fiscal year 1974 military family housing program. This
amount comprises approximately 44 percent of the entire funds ap-
propriated in this bill and is $93,128,000 lower than the revised
Defense budget request for family housing.
To provide maintenance and operation funds for defense housing,
approval has been given in the authorized amount of $622,913,000 to
maintain and operate an estimated 380,006 housing units during fiscal
year 1974. In addition, the Committee has approved $44,703,000 for
leasing of 10,000 domestic and 7,262 foreign family housing units for
assignment as public quarters.
The Committee has recommended a $381,603,000 family housing con-
struction program. The approved program will provide for the con-
struction of 10,541 new permanent units, which is 1,147 units less than
requested. New construction approved includes 5,369 units at 12 Army
installations, 3,460 units at 11 Navy and Marine Corps bases, 1,700
units at 8 Air Force bases and 12 units for the Defense Intelligence
Agency. The Committee did not approve the 150 unit Navy project
authorized for construction at Iceland because of questions remaining
in the need for the project. A total of $309,733,000 is required for the
approved new construction program. Other construction approved by
the Committee includes $5,700,000 for mobile home facilities; $240,000
for acquisition and connection of a utility system serving Wherry
housing, $62,510,000 for improvements to family quarters, $2,720,000
for minor construction and $700,000 for planning. The Committee
recommends that $361,746,000 in new appropriations be provided for
this construction program and that the balance of the program amount-
ing to $19,857,000 be financed from savings. Savings are available in
funds appropriated in prior years but not needed because of project
cancellations due to base closures, realignments or other changes in
requirements. Sufficient funds remain to provide. adequate construction
for the valid fiscal year 1972 and 1973 housing projects.
The funding allowed by the Committee for debt payment is the
budget estimate of $159,177,000. This includes $100,167,000 for the
payment of debt principal amount owed on Capehart, Wherry, and
Commodity Credit financed housing. In addition, $53,024,000 is
approved for the payment of interest on mortgage indebtedness on
Capehart and Wherry housing and for other expenses relating to the
construction and acquisition of these houses in prior years. The Com-
mittee approved $5,986,000 for payment to the Federal Housing
Administration, for premiums on Capehart and Wherry housing mort-
gage insurance and for the payment of premiums on insurance pro-
vided by the FHA for mortgages assumed by active military personnel
for houses purchased by them.
With respect to the inadequate quarters legislations, section 508 of
Public Law 92-545, which authorized the designation as inadequate of
not more than 20,000 family housing units, in addition to inadequate
units already in the inventory, Defense reported that the Services
and the Defense Supply Agency had designated 19,282 units as inade-
quate as of July 1, 1973 and had placed them on a rental basis at fair
rental values, not to exceed 75% of the occupant's Basic Allowance
for Quarters.
The Family Housing Management Account continues to prove itself
an effective tool of management. Since the account was established
and through Fiscal Year 1973 nearly $7.8 billion has been made avail-
able for family housing; $1.8 billion for construction (74,000 units);
$4.2 billion for operation and maintenance; and $1.8 billion for debt
payment. The Committee notes that operation and maintenance costs
have increased in recent years, not only because of increased labor and
material costs and the aging of the inventory, but because of the cur-
rent efforts to reduce the significant backlog of deferred maintenance.
Continuation of business-like management principles will assure the
Committee and Defense an excellent means of gauging future reqiiire-
ments and assessing proposals for providing members of the Armed
Forces with comfortable, adequate and economic housing for their
families.
Defense requested additional legislation to complete a land exchange
on Oahu, Hawaii. Public Law 91-564, authorized the conveyance of
land at Fort Ruger, Hawaii to that State in exchange for land adjacent
to the Tripler Army Hospital as a site for family housing. Subse-
quent evaluation determined that development of the land near
Tripler was too costly and Defense requested that the legislation'be
changed to provide for the State to furnish, either in facilities and
services or money, or a combination of them, a sum equal to the
appraised fair market value of the Fort Ruger property to be available
for site preparation for military family housing at the Defense-owned
Aliamanu Military Reservation, Oahu, Hawaii.
The base realignments announced April 17, 1973 are of such mag-
nitude that resources in the Homeowners Assistance Fund will be
insufficient to take care of the requirements of the Homeowners
Assistance Program in Fiscal Year 1974. Accordingly, Defense re-
quested an additional $7 million in appropriations for the Program.
Defense also requested a modest expansion of the Program to cover cer-
tain personnel not now covered by the program because of stat-
utory technicalities, but who suffer the same losses in disposing of
their homes as the personnel covered by the program at the same
installation.
HOMEOWNERS ASSISTANCE FUND, DEFENSE
Defense submitted a revised budget request of $7,000,000 in new
funds for the homeowners assistance program. The program provides
assistance to qualified military and civilian homeowners by reducing
their losses incident to disposal of their homes when a military installa-
tion is closed or the scope of its operations is reduced.
The revised budget request was submitted to obtain financing for
the FY 1974 assistance costs expected to result from the April 1973
base closure announcement. These costs were not reflected in the
January 1973 budget submittal. The Committee has approved the
revised request for funds in the amount of $7,000,000. Also, spending
of agency debt receipts, authorized in permanent legislation, will
provide an additional $17,443,000.
