John McCain

During Senate consideration of the fiscal year 1997 Defense authorization bill, an amendment was adopted which would authorize the transfer of additional acreage from the Forest Service to the Army at Fort Polk. This transfer would increase the training area at Fort Polk to ensure adequate acreage to conduct realistic land forces training. I had no objection to this amendment and believe it will serve the needs of the Army and the other Services.

However, at the same time, it is unclear that an additional $2 million will be required in fiscal year 1997 to adequately protect the land and facilities in this additional area.

John McCain

The report accompanying this bill describes the purposes for which this funding would be used, including hiring more foresters, environmental engineers, and natural resources support personnel, as well as maintaining the forest, roads, and public recreational areas, and protecting the red-cockaded woodpecker, long leaf pine, pitcher plant bogs, and archaeological resources. These are activities which certainly should be undertaken for this new property, but they are also activities which are underway on the current property utilized by the JRTC.

John McCain

Mr. President, therefore, I suggest that, instead of setting aside $2 million for these purposes now, we instead encourage the Army to conduct the necessary land management and environmental maintenance activities for these additional acres in the most cost-effective way possible. However, if the funds currently available to Fort Polk are insufficient to ensure that the high standards of land and environmental management are maintained at the newly expanded Fort Polk, I believe the Congress would look favorably on a reprogramming request from the Army to make funding available. In addition, I expect the Army to make funding available. In addition, I expect the Army to include in the fiscal year 1998 budget any additional costs associated with expanding Fort Polk's Joint Readiness Training Center.

Mr. President, I understand that my colleagues from Louisiana may offer an amendment to retain $500,000 of these earmarked funds. While I would prefer that the Army proceed with this effort and request reprogramming authority if additional funds are required, I would have no objection if the managers preferred to retain $500,000 of these funds.

Mr. President, I have identified $500,000 in one-time costs that need to be funded immediately to ensure that the natural resources and archeological sites at Fort Polk are protected. The Army's environmental record has clearly demonstrated how seriously they take their stewardship of the land with which they are entrusted. I believe the money requested will be used in a cost effective manner and will ensure that the resources are protected to the same high standards currently maintained by Fort Polk.

The red-cockaded woodpecker is an endangered species and is protected by Federal law. Woodpecker nesting trees are marked with a 1-meter thick white band. The nesting trees are protected by a 62-meter buffer zone that are marked by orange bands. Military training is restricted within this the buffer zone. Funding will allow for the red-cockaded woodpecker sites to be identified, cleared, marked, and 62-meter buffer zone established.

There are Indian, archeological sites, cemeteries, and other historical sites located on this land and we must ensure that these sites are adequately protected. The balance of the funding will provide sufficient resources to survey the land, identify cultural and archeological sites, and mark them accordingly.

I also encourage the Department of the Army to identify any incremental costs associated with managing this land and I would support any reprogramming requests they find necessary to submit. I further expect that their fiscal year 1998 budget submission will include any of these recurring costs.

John Breaux

Mr. President, I rise today in support of the second degree amendment I am offering with Senator Johnston that would give $500,000 to the Department of the Army for environmental protection activities at Fort Polk, LA. Earlier this month my distinguished colleague and I were able to include a provision in the Department of Defense authorization bill that would transfer acreage in the Kisatchie National Forest to the Army at Fort Polk. That amendment will allow Fort Polk to expand its training exercises while continuing its unique mission of providing our troops the best training possible at the Joint Readiness Training Center [JRTC]. I am pleased we were able to work with the managers of the authorization bill to have the transfer provision included in the bill.

John Breaux

On this pending amendment, I would like to thank Senators McCain, Stevens, and Inouye who have been very cooperative in working with Senator Johnston and me to appropriate $500,000 for environmental protection at Fort Polk. This funding will ensure that the high standards of land and environmental management are maintained at the newly expanded JRTC. The Army can use this funding to continue surveying and marking trees that are inhabited by the red-cockaded woodpecker. In its current operations, the Army establishes a 62-meter buffer zone around these trees to alert military personnel and the public to stay clear of the area. The Army also posts signs to clearly mark archeological sites, such as cemeteries and Indian burial grounds, and other sensitive areas. This $500,000 will enable the Army to continue providing this and other important environmental programs at the JRTC.

Mr. President, I regretfully disagree with the Senator from Iowa and state again that our act does not allocate funds to the entities of the Department of Defense by the roster, or in any way related to the force structure. If the Senator wishes to limit the funds so it cannot be used to support more than 68 general officers, that is an issue for the authorization committee.

Ted Stevens

Mr. President, it is the plan of the managers of the bill to have the debate on the Bumpers amendment. We feel that amendment will go to a vote sometime between 20 after and 25 after 6. After that, we will have the Harkin amendment, and it will be voted on sometime around 7 o'clock. After that time it will be my intent to ask that all further votes be stacked until tomorrow morning commencing at 9:30, and we will have final passage following that. There will be some few statements just before final passage. We do have a series of amendments to debate yet tonight, but we will have no more votes after the Harkin amendment.

Let me start by explaining that Senator Feingold has an amendment that deals with the Navy's plans to purchase the E and F models of the Navy's F-18 fighter, which is called the Super Hornet. Now, the existing C and D models of the F-18 Hornet are the Navy's premier carrier fighter interceptors. The General Accounting Office has just issued a report on the Navy's plans to purchase 640 of the advanced models which are now in development, namely the F-18E and F-18F. That report, which is the most powerful GAO report I have ever read, says that it is the height of foolishness to go forward with the purchase of that many F-18E/Fs.

The Navy originally wanted to buy 1,000 of them, 360 of which would go to the Marine Corps. And do you know what the Marine Corps said? "We don't want them." "We don't want them." So that means the Navy is going to buy 640 at a cost of roughly $53 million each. And the GAO says the present C/D models that we are using and could continue to use through the year 2015 will do virtually everything the E/F will do. By buying C/D models, at a cost of $28 million, almost 50 percent less, the Navy would save $17 billion.

Now, I tell you those were prefacing remarks because my amendment does not try to eliminate the E/F purchases of the Hornet. I am not trying to eliminate the E/F because Senator Feingold has an amendment he is working on trying to get accepted that would give the Pentagon the opportunity to reconsider its plans to spend $60 billion on the E/F models. It would fence the funds for the E/F until the Pentagon provides Congress with a better justification for its decision. I am a strong proponent of the Feingold amendment; I am a cosponsor. I would have liked to do something stronger, but I know that would not have a chance of winning a vote.

The Pentagon took the GAO study, which says you can save $17 billion by buying F-18C/Ds instead of E/Fs, and they tried to refute every single point the GAO said, and the GAO came back and refuted conclusively -- conclusively -- Mr. President, every single point the Pentagon made in favor of squandering $17 billion on the F-18E/F.

There is, in this bill, one of the strangest things I have ever seen. There is an appropriation for 12 of the C/D models, which the Pentagon says they want to get rid of. What is even stranger is, of the 12, only 6 are authorized; the other 6 are not authorized. The Navy says they want this new, premier, advanced E/F model, not the C/D. So, No. 1, the Pentagon did not ask for them. No. 2, the Senate authorizing committee, chaired by the distinguished Senator from South Carolina, with the ranking member from Georgia, Mr. Nunn, did not authorize them. We just passed the authorizing bill, and there is no authorization for these six airplanes.

With the utmost respect to the chairman and ranking member of the Appropriations Committee on Defense, my dear friends, they just put six more airplanes in the bill. They cost only $234 million. If you say it real fast, it is just nothing.

So I say, if we are going to buy the E/F, why in the world are we going to keep buying C/Ds? And I know that we are going to buy the E/F despite the fact that between now and 2025 we will spend at least $500 million for fighter aircraft. I have been around here 22 years, and I can promise you I can get up on this floor and squeal like a pig under a gate every day and it will not change two votes.

You think about it. By the year 2030 we are going to spend $500 billion for the advanced model Hornet and for the Joint Strike Fighter, and for the F-22.

So, I wish I could stop the E/F. But I am certain in the knowledge, the certain knowledge, that I would not prevail if I sought to stop the Pentagon from going forward with the E/F. You know, the Senate has only killed one weapon system that I can remember, and I cannot think what that was. We only killed one weapons system since I have been in the Senate. The Pentagon occasionally kills one, and they say, "We do not want it anymore." But a lot of times when they say "we do not want it," we impose it on them anyway.

And here is the GAO, which we give hundreds of millions of dollars a year to tell us things, saying you are about to squander $17 billion for nothing, and here I am on the floor of the Senate saying, I know the Senate is going to ignore the advice of the GAO. So I am saying, if we are going to go ahead and buy 640 of these high-priced, $53-million- a-copy fighter planes, for God sakes let us not buy 6 more of the C/D models which are neither requested by the Pentagon nor authorized by the authorizing committee.

Mr. President, I hope Senator Nunn would come to the floor and say that he is going to support this amendment because it was not authorized. I have heard him talk a thousand times about how sick he gets of the Senate appropriating money for things that are not authorized. So here is a chance for the Senate to save a paltry $234 million.

Mr. President, it is true that the budget did not request any funds to buy more F-18C's for the Navy. The Armed Services bill included six F-18C's for the Navy. This is authorized. The committee, our subcommittee, added and the Appropriations Committee approved $234 million to buy six single-seat F-18C's for the Navy.

Ted Stevens

Before his untimely death, we asked Admiral Boorda to list the 10 highest priorities for the Navy this year, and Admiral Boorda listed as the sixth priority, as the CNO, buying six more F-18C's. These replace the less capable F-18A's that are still in the active inventory. The C model has substantial upgrades over the A model. It has better radar and carries more sophisticated weapons. It can fly at night and in adverse weather.

The Navy really needs at least 30 more F-18C's to upgrade its force and accomplish its war-fighting mission. The F-18C procurement was ended because of financial considerations in the past. We still have financial considerations, but these F-18C's we buy now in fiscal year 1997 will be in the inventory of the Navy through at least the year 2018.

I say to my friend from Arkansas, as a pilot, these C models give Navy pilots the ability to fly at night, in adverse weather, with more sophisticated weapons and the best radar in the world. I think it is a needed addition to our Navy.

Mr. President, I would like to speak briefly in support of the efforts of the distinguished Senator from Arkansas, who is trying to focus attention on the cost implications of decisions that are being made regarding the purchase of tactical aircraft for our various services. As we all know, there is no Member of the Senate who has been a more consistent leader in this area than Senator Bumpers, constantly pressing for the Senate to subject our military procurement decisionmaking to greater scrutiny.

I appreciate his support for my amendment. A modified version of it appears to have been accepted. Of course, the motivation for that was the GAO report that Senator Bumpers mentioned. It is entitled "F/A- 18E/F Will Provide Marginal Operational Improvement at High Cost," and as the Senator indicated, that marginal improvement is a $17-billion difference, potentially.

We are pleased that process will go forward. The Department of Defense will respond to the GAO report, and then the GAO will respond to that. I am very pleased and appreciative to the Senator from Alaska for being cooperative on this.

But on the issue of the amendment of Senator Bumpers, in these times of fiscal constraint, every item in the Federal budget has to be subjected to intense review. The Senator from Arkansas and I and many others are deeply concerned that the Department of Defense is embarking on a range of military aircraft purchases that cannot be sustained in the outyears. The downpayments on these aircraft in the short term really represent only the tip of the iceberg, from the point of view of the cost.

A GAO report in 1996 notes the military services plan to spend more than $200 billion on aircraft and other interdiction weapons over the next 15 to 20 years to add to already extensive capabilities. GAO noted that the various services have overlapping programs, with each service proposing upgrades or new weapons that may offer little additional capability.

So, Mr. President, what the Bumpers amendment is all about and our effort here is all about is the fact somewhere, somehow, there needs to be some overview of the range of these programs. In fact, the House defense authorization bill contains a requirement for a force structure analysis by the Institutes of Defense Analysis which examines the affordability, effectiveness, commonality, roles and missions and alternatives related to the wide range of aircraft. There are good arguments to be made that we should defer decisions on all these procurement plans pending such a review.

In the short term, the issues relating to the F/A-18 clearly need to be examined. On the one hand, the Navy is seeking to remove the C/D with the E/F. Yet this bill adds funding for 12 C/D's, planes which the Department of Defense has not requested. In fact, the DOD authorization bill just passed by the Senate only authorized six additional C/D's, and now the Appropriations Committee doubles that number.

Before we start adding these additional purchases, I think we ought to know where we are going. Is the Navy going to move toward the more expensive E/F or retain the C/D? My view is that we should rely upon the less expensive, but highly capable, C/D. But, Mr. President, one thing is clear, when it comes to the C/D versus the E/F, it is an either/or choice. We either buy the C/D's or the E/F's, one or the other. It is like going to buy a new washing machine. You find two slightly different and you decide, what the heck, we will buy both of them. We cannot afford to do that. We cannot afford dual purchases.

I support the amendment offered by the Senator from Arkansas which strikes the funding for the six additional C/D's. Whatever the ultimate decision is with regard to the future of the F-18, there is no justification for this increase in the C/D purchases in this appropriations bill.

Mr. President, it is always difficult to speak against the GAO. After all, that organization is a child of the Congress. But in this case, I give great weight to the concerns and the professionalism of the United States Navy. I also note that in recent years, the United States Navy has suffered major aviation setbacks in the acquisition programs. For example, the Congress canceled the A-6F program, the Department of Defense canceled the A-12 program, the Navy canceled the Navy ATF and F-14D program and, as a result, what we have available for us is the F/A-18E and at the present time the C's.

If we are to maintain a production line for the F/A-18E at a reasonable rate, then it would make sense to continue the production even of six models of the C. It will come down to cost. The production line will continue.

Second, there are many who will argue that the millennium has arrived and, therefore, there is really no need for these fancy weapons systems. But I believe that we are being constantly reminded that this world is still very unstable, that there is a need for aircraft carriers, and if we are to have aircraft carriers, obviously there is a need to have planes flying off these carriers. These are carrier planes.

So, Mr. President, on this issue, I prefer to set my vote of confidence with the Navy. I think the Navy is correct in suggesting to us that if they are to carry out their mission, they need this aircraft.

Mr. President, the requirement for the additional procurement of F/A-18C/D aircraft does not come from the industrial community and is not a result of trying to string out a program which has come to the end of its viable life.

The requirement comes from the Department of the Navy and its own inventory requirements. According to the Director of Air Warfare for the Navy, a minimum of 436 F/A-18C/D aircraft are required to fill the 10 active carrier airwings. The Navy expects that without continued procurement, it will be 30 aircraft short of the CNO mandated and congressionally approved requirements. If we include the normal attrition factor into the equation, the gap grows even wider for even though the F/A-18 is the safest aircraft in tactical Naval aviation history, approximately eight aircraft per year are lost.

The night-strike capabilities of the C/D are critical to the fighting effectiveness of our carriers and allow for the use of the full range of the Navy's current weapons inventory. These aircraft improve pilot situational awareness and survivability over their A/B model counterparts. They are also fully compatible with shipboard maintenance and diagnostic equipment.

The F/A-18E/F aircraft is on schedule and cost and its performance exceeds expectations so far. So why do we need more C/D's? Because the procurement schedule of the E/F will not produce significant numbers of aircraft until 2009. As my colleagues know, I am a staunch supporter of the F/A-18 E/F, for it does bring so much more warfighting capabilities to the men and women defending us, but that does not relieve us of the responsibility to provide our fliers with these additional C/D's which will bridge the technological void until the E/F's hit the fleet.

Let me put it to my colleagues this way. Advances in aviation, military aviation in particular, are a little like those experienced in the computer world. The strategic mix of aircraft currently in our inventory and those projected to be in our inventory are representative steps in technological advances which will face threats from weapon systems that are advancing as well. Much like computer systems, we can project capabilities beyond our production abilities.

The F-18C/D represents the current cutting edge in tactical Naval aviation, the E/F the next, JAST hopefully the next. But, we cannot in good conscience ask our young men and women to put their lives on the line for us and not give them the best we know we have to offer in the hope of dramatic future improvements which are not yet developed. I urge my colleagues to support, and support fully, the strategic growth of Naval aviation, starting with the continued buy of the C/D's appropriated for in this bill.

Mr. President, the Defense appropriations bill allocates money for 12 more F-18's than the President requested. It appropriates funds for six more F-18C's than the Senate authorized. It commits us to spend 234 million dollars on six aircraft that the Navy does not want.

Within this bill is 1.8 billion dollars to purchase the first 12 new F-18E/F fighters for the Navy. The Navy has said that the F-18E/F will be the backbone of its carrier-based forces in the future. This aircraft is to replace the F-14 and older F-18's, so that by 2009, the F-18E/F will comprise a majority of the F-18's in the Navy's inventory. If we are worried about a future military threat, we should direct our procurement to systems of the future, not to aircraft like the F-18C/D that will be obsolete soon after they are manufactured.

Mr. President, we cannot continue to squander our Nation's resources on aircraft that are not needed to defend this country.

I made this point a while ago, but charts are always much more graphic. Here is where we are headed. For the people around here who are fiscally responsible and really care about the deficit, this is what is going to happen between now and about the year 2025 or 2030. We are going to spend $70 billion on the F-22 fighter for the Air Force; $66.9 billion for the fighter plane that we have been talking about here, the model E/F of the F-18 Hornet, a very, very fine airplane, indeed. But so are the C/D models that we now use. The Joint Strike Fighter will cost about $219 billion. And then sometime around the year 2010 we are going to start buying the replacement interdiction aircraft whose cost we do not know. The cost in today's 1996 dollars for those three fighter planes is $355.7 billion, according to the Congressional Budget Office. With inflation at 2.2 percent, that will come to about $500 billion between now and the year 2030, $500 billion.

Look at this chart. Here are the military budgets of the United States and our potential enemies. The United States, $269 billion; add NATO to it, $510 billion; Russia, $98 billion; China, $29 billion; and the rogue nations, such as Libya, North Korea, a total of $17 billion. We spend twice as much as all of the rogue nations, Russia and China combined. When you add NATO to it, almost four times as much.

This chart shows that today, we have 3,800 fighter aircraft, and they are all so-called fourth generation, the best there is. Look at poor Russia, China, North Korea -- not even in the game. Not even in the game. The rogues have only 104 modern fighters divided among them. And we are getting ready to spend $17 billion we should not spend, so says GAO.

Here is another chart. In the year 2005, we will have 3,200 fighter planes. Look, 3,200 fighter planes that all of them will either be fourth or fifth generation aircraft. And the rogues will be no better off than they are today.

I agree with the Senator from Alaska on this point. He says the C/D fighter plane, the Hornet C/D models are very fine night fighters, they are excellent aircraft. I could not agree with him more. If it were left up to me, that is what we would be buying. But, no, we are going to go spend twice as much, $53 million a copy, on the E/F models which the GAO says is an outrageous waste of the taxpayers' money.

Back to my amendment. I am saying you cannot have it both ways. You cannot buy the E/F because it is going to be the hottest thing going and spend $67 billion on it but say we want a few more C/D's at the same time. As a matter of fact, the committee wants 12.

Mr. President, the Pentagon did not ask for 12, even the Navy did not ask for 12, and the committee, chaired by the Senator from South Carolina who is sitting on the floor, the Armed Services Committee of the Senate chaired by Senator Thurmond, authorized six, not 12. And the Subcommittee on Defense appropriations, on which I sit, said, "No, we'll put another six in," even though they were not requested nor authorized. It is a paltry $234 million. It will be the only chance you will have of this entire bill to save one single dollar and do it sensibly.

Mr. President, my amendment relates to funds appropriated under this bill for production of the F/A-18 E/F, or the Super Hornet as it is commonly called, which I understand will be accepted by the managers. I appreciate their willingness to work with us on this matter.

Mr. President, this amendment is very similar to an amendment that I offered which was adopted on the Defense authorization bill, S. 1745, when it was considered by the Senate on June 28.

Basically, this amendment seeks to limit obligation of funds for the production of this new aircraft until Congress has an opportunity to review carefully the recommendations made by the General Accounting Office in a report issued last month. The GAO report, entitled "Navy Aviation: F/A-18E/F will Provide Marginal Operational Improvement at High Cost," outlines some very important questions that should be considered before we proceed further with procurement of this aircraft. The amendment directs the Department of Defense to submit a report responding to the GAO concerns, and provides an opportunity for GAO to comment on the DOD response. It fences 10 percent of the funds appropriated for procurement of the new aircraft until 30 days after this report is submitted.

At the time I offered a similar amendment to the DOD authorization bill, I discussed extensively the issues raised by GAO. Although I do not want to take the Senate's time today to repeat each of these arguments, I want to highlight some of GAO's concerns.

Second, the Navy based the need for the development and procurement of the Super Hornet on the basis of existing or projected operational deficiencies of the current model of the F/A-18 in the following key areas: strike range, carrier recovery payload and survivability. In addition, the Navy noted limitations of the current C/D model of the F/ A-18 with respect to avionics growth space and payload capacity.

In its report, however, GAO concluded that the operational deficiencies in the C/D that the Navy had cited in justifying the E/F either have not materialized as projected or such deficiencies can be corrected with nonstructural changes to the current C/D and additional upgrades which would further improve its capabilities.

Mr. President, let me stress here that the GAO did not conclude that the F/A-18 E/F is a bad plane. During the debate on this issue on the DOD authorization, several of the proponents of this aircraft spoke about this plane being a highly capable carrier-based tactical aircraft, as it was intended to be. I want to stress, again, that the issue here is whether the additional capabilities of this aircraft justify its additional cost, or whether the current C/D version of the F/A-18 can perform the mission at substantial cost- savings to the Federal taxpayer.

GAO found that the C/D's are performing at higher levels than originally contemplated. For example, the F/A-18C's operating in support of the current Bosnia operations are now routinely returning to carriers with operational loads of 7,166 pounds, which is substantially greater than the Navy projected for this aircraft. In fact, when initially procured in 1988, this aircraft had a total carrier recovery payload of 6,300 pounds. Today, it is significantly higher. In addition, GAO noted that while it is not necessary, upgrading F/A-18Cs with stronger landing gear could allow them to recover carrier payloads of more than 10,000 pounds -- greater than that sought for the F/A-18E/F which would be 9,000 pounds.

GAO made similar findings with respect to the C/D's long-range mission capacity. GAO concluded that the Navy's F/A-18 strike range requirements can be met by either the Super Hornet or the C/D, using the 480-gallon external fuel tanks that are planned to be used on the E/F.

I do, however, want to stress the difference in the cost of these two planes. As I mentioned at the outset, the total program cost of the Super Hornet is projected to be over $89 billion assuming a procurement of 1,000 aircraft -- 660 by the Navy and 340 by the Marine Corps -- at an annual production rate of 72 aircraft per year. However, as GAO noted, these figures are not accurate. The Marine Corps has made it clear that they do not intend to purchase any Super Hornets. Furthermore, an annual production rate of 72 aircraft is not feasible. The Navy has already been directed to calculate costs based upon a more realistic production rate, at 18, 36 and 54 aircraft per year.

Using the overstated assumptions, the Navy calculated the unit recurring flyaway cost of the Super Hornet at $44 million. However, using GAO's more realistic assumptions of the procurement of 660 aircraft, at a production rate of 36 aircraft per year, the cost of the E/F balloons to $53 million.

GAO concluded that the cost difference in unit recurring flyaway would result in a savings of almost $17 billion if the Navy were to procure 660 F/A-18 C/Ds rather than 660 F/A-18 E/Fs.

At a time of fiscal constraints on all aspects of the Federal budget, we need to look carefully at whether it is necessary to spend this additional $17 billion on an aircraft that may produce only marginal improvements over the current model.

Mr. President, this question is also important because there is also a far less costly program already being developed which may yield more significant returns in operational capability. This program is the joint advanced strike technology or JAST program which is currently developing technology for a family of affordable next generation joint strike fighter [JSF] aircraft for the Air Force, Marine Corps and the Navy.

The JSF is expected to be a stealthy strike aircraft built on a single production line with a high degree of parts and cost commonality. The Navy plans to procure 300 JSF's with a projected initial operational capability around 2007. The JSF will be designed to have superior or comparable capabilities in all Navy tactical aircraft mission areas, especially range and survivability, at far less cost than the Super Hornet.

Mr. President, given the high cost and marginal improvement in operational capabilities the Super Hornet would provide, it seems that its justification is no longer clear. Operational deficiencies in the C/D aircraft either have not materialized or can be corrected with nonstructural changes to the plane. As a result, proceeding with the E/ F program may not be the most cost-effective approach to modernizing the Navy's tactical aircraft fleet. A strong argument can be made that the Navy can continue to procure the C/D aircraft while upgrading it to improve further its operational capabilities. For the long term, the Navy can look toward the next generation strike fighter, the JSF, which will provide more operational capability at far less cost than the E/F.

As I have indicated previously, the Navy does need to procure aircraft that will bridge between the current force and the JSF which will be operational around 2007. The question is whether the F/A-18C/D can serve that function, or whether we should proceed with an expensive new plane for what appears to be a marginal level of improvement. The $17 billion difference in projected costs does not appear to provide a significant return on our investment.

For these reasons, I think it would be prudent to adopt a go-slow approach to the F/A-18 E/F program and allow Congress sufficient time to review GAO's findings, the Defense Department's response, and GAO's evaluation of that response.

Mr. President, there is one issue I want to specifically address regarding the obligation of funds under this appropriations bill for the F/A-18 E/F program. At the time the GAO report was submitted to Congress, the Navy responded that the GAO concerns were premature because the final procurement decision had not been made by DOD. DOD indicated that the final decision could not be made until the Defense Acquisition Board had made its low rate initial production [LRIP] milestone decision in the first quarter of calendar year 1997. At that time, DOD contended the Board would convene for a thorough program review. It is my understanding that although there may be some procurement funds obligated prior to the DAB decision, the bulk of the funds would not be committed until this milestone decision is made next year. DOD would, under this amendment, also be preparing its report in response to this amendment during the same period of time, and hopefully, answers to some of the questions raised by GAO would be thoroughly examined during this process prior to the final decisions for fiscal year 1997 funding. Congress will also have an opportunity to review this information and halt or slow down procurement if deemed appropriate.

Over the long term, it is important that we carefully consider all of the issues surrounding the planned procurement of some 1000 F/A-18 E/ F's. I believe that this amendment will assist in getting the relevant information, and I appreciate the cooperation of the managers in moving us in that direction.

Mr. President, I am concerned with a project under the Defense Production Act which is currently caught up in the Department of Defense. On October 5, 1995, the President notified Congress that DOD intended to utilize title III of the Defense Production Act (DPA) to address industrial resource shortfalls for the production of Aluminum Metal Matrix Composites (AL MMC). Funding in the amount of $15,000,000 was to be made available for this effort. It is my understanding that staff in the Under Secretary of Defense (Acquisition & Technology) office are attempting to divert these funds to other title III programs.

According to Assistant Secretary of the Army (Research, Development and Acquisition) Gilbert F. Decker, "the Army has valid requirements for components manufactured with Al MMC to support its armored combat vehicle fleet." In fact, Mr. Decker wrote to Under Secretary Kaminski asking that he continue to reserve the funding for its original purpose, adding that "use of Al MMC material will result in both a significant weight reduction and increase in the durability of manufactured parts. It also promises a significant weight reduction and increase in the durability of manufactured parts. It also promises a significant cost savings over current materials." Under Secretary of Defense Kaminski approved the project as well stating that "Aluminum Metal Matrix Composites (Al MMC) is an enabling technology that will increase combat performance and reduce life cycle costs for a variety of defense systems, e.g., missiles, where reduced weight will reduce time to kill and/or increase range." The funds necessary for this project are already appropriated monies and need no further authorization or appropriation to be spent. Based upon my understanding, it is the desire of the Army to proceed expeditiously on the procurement of Aluminum Metal Matrix Composites with title III funds. Unfortunately, DOD personnel on the staff level have decided to step in the way of this project, Mr. Chairman, that is unacceptable.

Mr. President, as you and Senator Stevens know, the Defense authorization bill is currently in conference and I am a conferee on that legislation. Section 248 of that bill as passed by the House contains a provision which authorizes a natural resources assessment and training delivery system improvement program to enhance the Department of Defense's capabilities for complying with its own requirements to protect and conserve the natural ecosystems on military installations. This provision was sponsored by Representative Hansen of Utah. I am hopeful that the Senate conferees will accept the Hansen amendment in conference.

The purpose of this colloquy is to urge the prospective Senate conferees on the Defense Appropriations bill to give consideration to providing a means of funding the Hansen amendment. Specifically, it is my understanding that $3,400,000 would be required to allow a consortium of environmental experts, including institutions of higher education in my State of Virginia and others, to assist the Department of Defense to monitor natural resources in training and weapons testing areas, to address the highest priority DOD environmental conservation requirements as identified by the Pentagon last year. It is my understanding that this program will help save funds in carrying out these important military requirements.

I ask that Senator Stevens and the Senate conferees on the Defense appropriations bill do whatever is possible to identify funding to carry out this important military environmental initiative in fiscal year 1997. Can the distinguished Chairman address this matter?

I want to thank the distinguished Senator from Virginia for bringing this important matter to my personal attention. I am somewhat familiar with the proposal contained in the House-passed Defense authorization bill and it sounds reasonable. I will assure the Senator from Virginia that I will work between now and the conclusion of conference on this appropriations bill to find a way to provide funding for the natural resources assessment and training delivery system improvement program that has been identified by my colleague. One possible avenue that will be explored is the Defense Legacy Program.

Mr. President, I would like to bring to your attention the fact that none of the Department of Defense organizations currently participates in a transit benefit program available to all Federal civilian and military personnel. This is particularly significant given the Metro facilities at the Pentagon. The program, offered by the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA), and authorized under the Federal Employees Clean Air Incentives Act, Public Law 103- 172, enacted in 1993, allows Federal agencies to provide a tax free benefit of up to $65 per month in employer-provided transit passes to help defray the costs of daily commutes by public transportation. The Federal Government is also permitted to provide up to $165 per month for parking costs, similarly excluded from an employee's taxable income. These benefits are identical to those enjoyed by private sector employees under the Energy Policy Act of 1992.

This incentive program for Federal employees has been an unqualified success. The 100 Federal agencies in this area, including the United States Senate, that participate in the WMATA Program, called Metrochek, have reduced parking costs, decreased employee absenteeism rates and improved employee morale and productivity. The program also results in significant energy conservation and environmental benefits and serves to reduce traffic congestion, by encouraging Federal employees to take public transit, rather than driving alone in their automobiles.

First, Mr. President, the Department of Defense should instruct its organizations to survey the area's Department of Defense employees to accurately estimate how many employees might benefit from this program. Additionally, I request the Chairman's support in directing some of DOD's largest organizations to conduct a demonstration program to test the effectiveness of this program. For example, there are over 40,000 civilian and military Army employees in the Washington area. WMATA estimates that approximately 6,400 employees could utilize the Metrochek Program. Similarly, the Navy and Marines have 58,000 employees in this area, of which 8,700 may be able to utilize the program; and the Air Force has over 21,000 employees, of which 3,300 could benefit.

I want to thank the Chairman. It seems to me that given the substantial Federal investment made in Metrorail, we have an obligation to utilize this extraordinary asset. More than half of the Metro stations serve Federal installations. The Metrorail System was built with the full partnership of the Federal Government, dating back to the Eisenhower Administration. I appreciate the Chairman's willingness to promote this important program which benefits Federal employees, while reducing congestion and improving air quality in this region.

Mr. President, I would like to express my appreciation to my colleagues, the senior Senator from Alaska, Ted Stevens, and the Senior Senator from Hawaii, Dan Inouye, for the funding provided for the Advanced Materials Intelligent Processing Center in the fiscal year 1997 Defense Appropriations legislation. I believe the Center will provide returns to the American taxpayers by enhancing the affordability of military hardware and defense readiness.

At present, the affordability of military hardware is determined in part by the cost of fabricating components and the stockpiling of weapons for future use. Advanced materials, which are increasingly used in military hardware because they provide important performance benefits, can be difficult and expensive to process. Weapons are presently manufactured and stockpiled at great cost in part because technologies are not yet in place that would allow a mothballed plant to be reactivated quickly, or a commercial manufacturing plant to be converted rapidly to military production.

The Advanced Materials Intelligent Processing Center can address both of these cost factors by providing an integrated approach for the fabrication of military hardware containing advanced materials. The Center will develop processing techniques that can help to lower the cost of fabricating military components from advanced materials, and help to lower the cost and the need for stockpiling.

Numerous studies have shown that inadequate processing technology can contribute to the high cost of advanced materials. In addition, the Federal Government spends far more on product development (95 percent of Federal research and development) than on process development, in contrast to Japan where the breakdown of research and development funding is exactly opposite, and where affordable advanced materials are being developed far more rapidly than in the United States.

Northwestern University is uniquely qualified to establish and operate the Center because of its international reputation in materials science, its nationally recognized effectiveness in interdisciplinary R&D, industrial collaboration, technology transfer, and its experience in operating R&D consortia related to the production of advanced military hardware. Northwestern's Department of Materials Science and Engineering is consistently ranked among the top five such departments in the Nation, and Northwestern's Material Science Center was among the first of such laboratories funded by the Federal Government.

With the end of the cold war, the Nation's industrial capacity to provide defense hardware has declined dramatically through the closure or conversion to commercial use of defense manufacturing facilities. Many U.S. defense firms may be unable to convert their operations rapidly to large-scale military production. The funding recommended in this year's legislation would allow for development of a center that can help address the defense readiness of our industrial base.

Mr. President, I have sought recognition for the purpose of engaging my good friend, the distinguished chairman of the Defense Appropriations Subcommittee, in a colloquy regarding support for the Computer Emergency Response Team Coordination Center [CERT/CC], located at Carnegie Mellon University's Software Engineering Institute in Pittsburgh, PA. CERT/CC has operated since 1988 under the sponsorship of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency [DARPA]. Its mission is to respond to computer security emergencies and intrusions on the Internet, to serve as a central point for identifying vulnerabilities, and to conduct research to improve the security of existing systems.

The number of computer emergencies handled by CERT/CC has grown from 132 in 1989 to nearly 2,500 in 1995. The severity of these incidents has also increased dramatically. Finance and banking, medicine and transportation rely heavily on computer networks. But as terrorists, ordinary criminals, and rogue states grow more technologically sophisticated, our vulnerability to attacks on our computer networks has grown. In light of these vulnerabilities, it is critical for the United States to develop networks capable of surviving attacks while protecting sensitive data. In my view, CERT/CC can play a critical role in ensuring the security of our computer systems.

The Defense Department had planned to reduce funding for this critically important activity. However, an amendment offered by Senators Nunn, Santorum and Kyl, and included in the fiscal year 1997 Defense Authorization bill, authorizes $2 million to the Software Engineering Institute to continue this effort. This important provision will enable CERT's incident-handling activity to continue through fiscal year 1997. It is my hope that an appropriate long-term source of funding for CERT will be identified during the coming fiscal year.

Ted Stevens

Mr. President, I thank my colleague from Pennsylvania for his comments. I agree that the CERT provides a critical function for the Defense Department at a time when our computer systems and networks are being attacked by computer hackers. I will work to provide an appropriate level of funding for CERT activities.

Phil Gramm

Mr. President. I would like to discuss with the distinguished Chairman and ranking member of the Defense Subcommittee an important matter that I and a number of our colleagues have been working on. As I am sure they are aware, the Senate adopted an amendment I offered to the fiscal year 1997 Senate Defense Authorization bill that would require the Defense Department and the Department of Health and Human Services to jointly submit to the Congress no later than September 6, 1996 a detailed military retiree Medicare subvention demonstration program implementation plan. That amendment also authorized funds to pay for the demonstration program. Currently, however, the fiscal year 1997 Defense Appropriations bill does not include funding for this important effort. I would like to bring this matter to the attention of my colleagues, and to propose expediting a reprogramming request in fiscal year 1997 to fund the demonstration program should the Congress authorize it for fiscal year 1997.

Ted Stevens

Mr. President, I am aware of the efforts of my colleague, and understand that if the Congress authorizes the demonstration program in fiscal year 1997 some funds may need to be appropriated. Since we do not yet know how much funding could be required, it is impossible for the subcommittee to act at this time. I assure my colleague that the subcommittee supports Medicare subvention and we would be willing to work with my colleague from Texas and the administration to expedite the reprogramming of 1997 funds if the Congress authorizes a Medicare subvention demonstration program in fiscal year 1997.

Daniel K. Inouye

Mr. President, I too am well aware of this issue. I am pleased to have been a cosponsor of the amendment to the fiscal year 1997 Defense authorization bill to which my colleague from Texas referred, as well as being an original cosponsor of his demonstration legislation, S. 1487. I strongly support the Senate's efforts to attempt to authorize a Medicare subvention demonstration program in fiscal year 1997 and look forward to reviewing the joint report when it is submitted on September 6. I assure my colleague from Texas that I will be pleased to work with him and the administration to try to expedite the reprogramming of fiscal year 1997 funds if the Congress is able to authorize the demonstration in fiscal year 1997.

More importantly, the bill also funds needed increases in each of the major accounts of the defense budget. Each of these accounts was left with major underfunding problems by the administration's budget request. The administration would have us believe that these increases are uncalled for an excessive; following that advice would have the following consequences:

In short, while the administration would have people believe that the increases we are funding in this bill are excessive and unnecessary, the facts are that these increases will only help to slow -- not prevent, let alone reverse -- some serious deterioration in our Armed Forces.

The chairman of the Defense Subcommittee, Senator Stevens, and the Subcommittee staff deserve the thanks of the Senate for their extremely skillful crafting of this bill. It makes the best possible use of the limited funds available; in many respects, it does more -- with less -- than other defense bills before Congress, and, most importantly, it helps to stem the aging and shrinking in our weapons inventory and the reduced training and readiness that the administration's anemic defense budget would impose on our Armed Forces.

I will not ask unanimous consent right now, but I thought I might outline what the two managers have come up with, and that would be this: All remaining amendments to the Department of Defense bill be offered and all debate occur tonight, and that any rollcall votes ordered with respect to these amendments begin at 9:30 in the morning, with the first vote limited to the standard time, and all remaining stacked votes be reduced to 10 minutes in length, with 2 minutes equally divided on each before the votes so that there will be an explanation; following the disposition of all of those amendments and all other provisions of the bill, we would go to third reading, and Senator Dorgan would be recognized for 5 minutes for closing debate, and there would be 5 minutes equally divided between the two managers, and following that, final passage.

If sounds to me like all of this could probably be done within an hour or so, and then we would go right after that into the consideration of S. 1956, which is the reconciliation bill. If we can get a final clearance on that, then we would be able to officially announce that there would be no further votes tonight. We have not gotten that finally agreed to at this point. But I think it would be very good if we could get that completed and go to reconciliation. Of course, we would have to have it. The bill would have to be available, and we believe it will be available by 10:30 in the morning.

Again, maybe my ears did not pick it up. Any time we have debate in the evening and we stack votes in the morning, this Senator feels that it is appropriate to give at least a couple of minutes in the morning before the votes.

Tom Harkin

Mr. President, this is a very simple amendment. Let me try to explain it by beginning this way. If you remember the $600 toilet seats, and the $500 hammers in the Department of Defense, well, what is going on right now is going to make those look like a real bargain. What has happened since 1993, due to a policy change that was never debated on the Senate floor, never published in the Federal Register, is that taxpayers are now paying for mergers and acquisition costs of defense contractors.

Yes. You heard me right. Any defense contractor that merges -- acquires other companies -- the taxpayers get to pick up the bill. I know it is hard to believe. But it is actually happening.

The cost estimated so far of doing this just since 1993 is over $300 million. There is somewhere in the neighborhood of about $2 billion in costs pending that the taxpayers will have to pick up unless we do something about it and stop this nonsense -- this egregious attack on the taxpayer dollars.

In 1993 the DOD, at the request of defense contractors, changed its policy on reimbursing companies for corporate mergers without adequately notifying Congress. This change in the interpretation of the Federal acquisition rules is far reaching. Every department and agency of the Government is affected. Yet, the Senate has not had one hearing nor significant floor debate on this issue.

Mr. President, this amendment simply seeks to assure that what proponents of this form of corporate welfare claim -- that it will lead to rational downsizing of the defense industry and result in net savings to the taxpayer -- is actually realized. As of now both of those claims do not seem to be supported by the facts.

According to a GAO study of one business combination, "The net cost reduction certified by DOD represents less than 15 percent of the savings projected to the DOD 2 years earlier when they sought support for the proposed partnership." Less than 15 percent of the projected savings were actually being achieved. That alone proves the need for my amendment.

Clearly, projected savings are not being realized. Yet, there is absolutely no mechanism for DOD to recoup actual losses to the Government. As a result, the American taxpayer is being asked to pick up the tab.

In addition, the current practice is to measure only cost to the Department of Defense when contractors merge and lay off thousands of hard-working Americans. The costs associated with Government-subsidized social services like worker retraining are not tallied. Neither are the costs associated with lost payroll tax revenue. My amendment would fix that by requiring the Comptroller to include all costs to the Government in his recommendations.

Although I believe this practice must stop, maybe this is too much to do right now, but that is why I am offering this very modest amendment. What this amendment does is it merely puts a 1-year moratorium on these payments so the Comptroller General can give us the tools we need to take a close look at the policy and to ensure that taxpayers recoup any payments in excess of realized benefits. It will also allow us to have hearings on this far-reaching policy change.

Mr. President, this amendment is very similar to one adopted in the House on June 13. On June 13 -- get this -- the House of Representatives, by voice vote, adopted an amendment even more stringent than mine. It would be retroactive. It would go back even on the contracts that are held right now.

When I first proposed my amendment on the defense authorization bill, some of the Members came to me and said, "Oh, my gosh. This is going to open up the Government to all kind of lawsuits -- breach of contract." Well, all right, I took that into account. This amendment that I offer is not like that amendment. This amendment is only prospective. It allows the Government to pay the costs for which it is currently obligated, but it prevents any further obligation.

Let me be very clear about this, especially to the managers of the bill. This amendment allows the Government to pay costs for which it is currently obligated but prevents any further obligation.

Let me just discuss this policy in more detail. Lawrence Korb, the Under Secretary of Defense under President Reagan, supports this amendment. According to an article by him in the summer 1996 issue of the Brookings Review, this wasteful practice was initiated by the Pentagon in July 1993. The Pentagon claims that this was not a change of policy but merely a clarification of existing policy. However, no one can come up with examples of such corporate welfare before the 1993 decision. And there are several examples of such requests being denied. So it was a policy change, a serious and costly one.

If this was not a policy change and merely a clarification of existing policy, then you better look out, because we have got mergers and acquisitions going back to the late 1970's, and they are all going to be marching up here and saying, well, it was existing policy.

I hope the managers of the bill and their staffs will think about this and respond to this. You cannot have it both ways. If this is a change in policy, then it was not published in the Federal Register. It did not follow the rules, Federal rules. There were no hearings held in the Senate. We never debated it. If, however, as the Pentagon claims, this was not a change in policy but only a clarification of existing policy, then the taxpayers of this country ought to have to pay for every merger and acquisition going all the way back, and so the ones that were denied in the past will now come back to haunt us because they will come back and say, by your own words, this was existing policy.

So this practice is clearly an abuse of taxpayers' money. If these companies are compelled to merge for business reasons, why do they need a handout from the taxpayer? If the business deals are good, the mergers will happen anyway and the taxpayers will receive any savings without paying anything out. If the deals are bad, then we should not gamble taxpayer funds on them.

You would think we would have learned from the savings and loan debacle. You would think we would have learned from the $600 toilet seats and $500 hammers, too. I just do not think it is right to make taxpayers absorb the business costs of an industry capable of paying its own merger expenses.

Anyway, right now we have a situation where we give an up-front payment, hopefully for some savings that come down the line. But we do not know whether those savings are going to accrue. One analysis we have shows that only about 15 percent of the savings actually accrued. Here is what other groups have to say on the subject.

The Cato Institute: "The costs associated with mergers should not be absorbed by federal taxpayers. This is an egregious example of unwarranted corporate welfare in our budget." Taxpayers for Common Sense: "It is time for the Pentagon to drop this ridiculous `Money for nothing' policy." The Project on Government Oversight: "The new policy is unneeded, establishes inappropriate government intervention in the economy, promotes layoffs of high-wage jobs, pays for excessive CEO salaries, and is likely to cost the government billions of dollars." Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent these letters from Taxpayers for Common Sense and the Project on Government Oversight be printed in the Record.

According to the rules of this subsidy, DOD cannot reimburse companies for helping fired workers unless the companies were already obligated to do that. Understand, under the subsidy rules, Government money cannot go to a company to help fired workers unless the companies were already obligated to do that under existing contracts with the workers. In other words, the taxpayers' subsidies will never reach the laid-off workers.

Mr. President, I want to make it very clear that, under the present subsidy arrangement, these workers will not get any Government money regardless of what representatives of the defense industry may have told my colleagues. "Our Members did not receive any compensation from Lockheed Martin Corporation." If they did not under the company's agreement, they will not get any from the Government. They will only get the money from the Government if the company already helped them.

Some colleagues have said the contractors are going to sue the Government for breach of contract. I do not know what they are talking about. If a company has a contract with the DOD that specifies that payment must be made from fiscal year 1997 funds, it will be paid under my amendment. If there is no such clause in the contracts, then they will not be paid from 1997 funds. There is no breach of contract here. What my amendment is, is simply a 1-year moratorium on payments we are not obligated to pay in 1997.

I know there was an amendment adopted earlier today of Mr. Bradley. It called for a study. That amendment makes the best case for my amendment. It is a clear recognition we do not know how to assure that any payments for merger claims are purely waste. What my amendment does is it says we are going to have a moratorium for 1 year. If you had in your contract you would be paid out of fiscal year 1997 funds, you will be paid. If there is no such existing agreement, then there is a 1-year moratorium until we can get the study done that I call for.

But mind you, if we do not put in a 1-year moratorium, you mark my words, they are going to rush in and they are going to sign these things in the next few months and they are going to lock it in. Then the arguments will be true that if we attempt to stop it, they will sue for breach of contract. Now is the time to put the 1-year moratorium on. Now is the time to stop this nonsense.

I know, I remember when the $600 toilet seats and $500 hammers came up, people scoffed. The people of this country understood it. The taxpayers of this country understand this, too. They understand it is not right for them to pay compensation for executives, board members getting $200,000-and-some a year bonuses when they merge, and the workers being fired and not getting any retraining or compensation whatsoever. This money will not help the workers one bit.

It is egregious. I cannot think of anything in my 22 years here in the Congress that I have seen to be this egregious. All I can say is those in the defense industry -- and not all of them -- but those who have propounded this, those who came to Secretary Perry and Under Secretary Deutch and got this changed, all I can say is: Don't you have any shame at all? None whatsoever? It is time to end this practice.

Ted Stevens

Mr. President, we have faced a dilemma. As we have reduced defense procurement by more than 60 percent in the last 10 years, that has led to significant overcapacity in the defense industry. But at the same time, we have had the difficulty of trying to ensure the preservation of an industrial base capable of maintaining the strongest military power in the world. Now, without restructuring this industry, that overcapacity would have led to higher overhead costs that would have increased the price of defense goods and services and continued the downward spiral, really, of the amount actually available for acquisition of systems that we need to assure our men and women of the armed services that they have the best in the world to be prepared to defend us with.

Restructuring of this defense industry, in my judgment, has reduced the unit prices. We have lower unit prices, and we now have long-term savings for the Department of Defense and the taxpayers as a result of the restructuring. Our committee has urged and fostered that restructuring.

A contractor must negotiate restructuring costs with the Department. Not all costs of restructuring are paid by the Department. The Department of Defense policy that has been laid down by the Congress and the Department is such that if the restructuring plan, and its allowable costs, do not save the taxpayers money, the Department of Defense will not agree to pay any of the restructuring costs.

In the past 3 years, the Department of Defense has reimbursed contractors $300 million in these restructuring costs, and we estimate that will save $1.4 billion in defense costs. That is a 450 percent return on the contribution of the Department of Defense to the restructuring plans.

I might add that if there are plans that are approved, restructuring costs that benefit employees would not be allowed if the amendment of the Senator from Iowa is adopted. It would not allow severance pay for employees. It would not allow early retirement incentive payments for employees. It would not allow employee retraining costs. It would not allow relocation expenses for retained employees, and many times they are moved to different locations. I know several significant examples of very long movements for those who have retained. Those clearly ought to be a cost to be repaid by the Department when it results in a lower cost to the Government.

We believe the amendment of the Senator from Iowa goes in the wrong direction. We have adopted now by consent the Bradley amendment, which the Senator from Iowa mentioned. It does require the comptroller general to give us a study by early next year -- I believe it is by April 1 -- on the analysis of these restructuring costs.

Under current procedure, the costs that are not allowed are incorporation fees of the new entity, the merged entity; attorney, accountant, broker, promoter, organizer, management consultant, investment banker, or investment counselor fees cannot be paid, and those are the substantial costs of restructuring; interests or other costs of borrowing to finance an acquisition or merger are not recoverable from the Department of Defense; any payment to employees of special compensation in excess of the contractor's normal severance pay practice are not recoverable; any payment to employees of special compensation which is contingent upon the employee remaining with the contractor for a specified period of time following a change in management control are not payable by the Department of Defense; and any cost deemed unreasonable or excessive by the Department are not repayable.

Mr. President, as I said, in my judgment, we face a very difficult task. We look forward to the report that we will get from the Bradley amendment. But in other areas, we are actually paying money to maintain industrial base. We had the President, contrary to my judgment, decided to buy the Seawolf. Why? Because we had to maintain the industrial base to build submarines. We have had other instances where we actually paid industries to keep going in order to maintain the industrial base for the future.

I really do believe restructuring is in the best interest of the taxpayers of this country. I look forward to the study, but I oppose the Senator's amendment.

We are exporting, as we said this morning, some 14 billion dollars' worth of industrial products that are made by these industries. They are sold overseas. The fact that they are constructed by these industries and produced by these industries and sold overseas yields us a lower unit price for the taxpayers of this country to allow us to continue to replace, I do not care what it is, tanks or ships or aircraft. We need to maintain those to maintain the defense of this island Nation.

I say to the Senator from Iowa, with all good will to him and what he is trying to do, it is wrong to put this concept of restructuring costs in the same category as those fees which we all condemned which were wasteful. These are not wasteful costs, Mr. President. They are the costs of downsizing the production units that we built up during the cold war in order to maintain our freedom. Now we are downsizing those units so that we can continue to be able to defend our freedom in the future.

I spent a lot of my personal time going over some of these plans to try to assure that they are, in fact, in the public interest. We have had conversations with the Department of Justice on them and with other entities, industry and Government, to make sure it is on the right course, because of the fact that we know there are going to be increased costs down the line in the future because we are, in fact, going to acquire fewer units for our own use. Our policy should be to assure the survival of an industrial base that is capable of meeting demands throughout the world in order that we, too, may continue to have the advantage of prices based upon substantial production and not the limited production to meet our own needs.

These mergers are carried out for a very simple reason, and that is to reduce the cost of operations. In recognition of this, the Department of Defense has adopted a policy that not only allows but encourages defense contractors to enter into restructuring or corporate mergers in order to save money for our Department and, in turn, save money for our taxpayers.

As a result, having encouraged industry to consolidate and to have lower costs, obviously industry responded. Based upon that anticipation, many companies have entered into restructuring. This amendment, though it may appear to be meritorious, would not allow defense contractors to charge the restructuring costs as legitimate overhead costs on DOD contracts.

I believe logic will lead us to conclude that if industry cannot consolidate, if industry cannot merge, if it cannot restructure, it will not become more efficient and thereby lower overall costs. This will simply mean that the taxpayers of the United States will have to pay additional sums to support an inefficient industrial base.

So, Mr. President, I concur with the current policy of the Department of Defense that encourages contractors to restructure and merge, and that this amendment would be contrary to that policy. So I join my chairman in opposing the Harkin amendment. I yield back the balance of my time.

Mr. President, I listened to my two good friends -- and they are just that -- responding to my remarks. I am wondering if they are talking about my amendment. My friend from Hawaii says that this amendment would not allow them to restructure and reorganize. There is nothing in my amendment that says that, not one thing in my amendment, I say to my friend from Hawaii.

It says then that no funds appropriated in this bill can be used this year. This is this year's bill, fiscal year 1997. No funds in this bill can be used to pay for a merger acquisition unless it has already been contracted to do so. So if there is an existing contract right now, that specifies that we are to pay merger and acquisition costs out of this bill. That is OK.

What we say in this amendment is that we are going to put a 1-year moratorium on signing any new ones, just signing any new ones. As I said, Mr. President, mark my word, if we do not adopt this amendment, in the next few months you will have a rush by these companies to sign them, lock themselves in, and then they will raise the specter of, uh- oh, it is a breach of a Government contract if you do not ante up and pay it. That is why we need the 1-year moratorium. That is all it is.

Further, I again reply to my friend from Alaska with the letter from the head of the Machinists Union at Martin Marietta, who said that over the last 5 years members have been laid off because of cutbacks. "* * * our members did not receive any compensation or retraining assistance from the Lockheed Martin Corporation." The way the subsidy is now structured, I say to my friends, under the Department of Defense, they still will not get anything. They will only get it if, in fact, there was an agreement by those companies to provide it in the first place. So, again, I hope that they would look at my amendment and read it for what it is.

Let me just say one other thing. We talked about two other things. The industrial base -- we have heard about, well, we are going to erode the industrial base. I say to my friend from Alaska, profits are at an all-time high in the defense industry. I do not think we have to worry about eroding the industrial base of this country.

Again, I refer to the article by Lawrence Korb that appeared in the Brookings review where he pointed out that they are making record profits, that Grumman shareholders got a bonanza of $22 a share, a bonus of 40 percent when they merged. Since 1991, General Dynamics' stock increased 550 percent, and the company has stashed away $1 billion. We are not eroding the industrial base of this country. If it is good business practice, they are going to merge.

That brings me to my final point, I say to my two good friends. We asked representatives of the defense industry, I say to my friend from Hawaii, we asked them -- you know, these industries do not just deal with the Government. They have private industries that they deal with and that they contract with. We asked them, in any of your contracts with the private sector, do you have a clause like this in your contract that they will help pay? Not a one. Not a one. Just for the Government. So I say to my friends, this is not an overburdensome amendment.

I know the first amendment I offered -- maybe the managers of the bill think this is the first amendment I offered back under the authorization bill. It is not. I recognized that there might be a problem with breach of contract. That is why we put a clause in there that said if they have an existing contract, that they are to be paid those out of this bill -- we are only talking about fiscal year 1997 -- they must be paid. I am only talking about those who did not have that kind of an agreement. Then there is a 1-year moratorium. We get the report back. We find out what we are talking about. That gives us some time.

I say to my friends from Alaska and Hawaii, please do not put us in a position where, over the next several months, companies will come in, lock in their contracts, and there is not a darn thing we will be able to do about it because then it will be a breach of a Government contract. Let us stop it right now, put a moratorium for 1 year, get the report, and then figure out what we want to do. Let us figure out -- maybe the defense authorizing committee or the Appropriations Committee might want to spell out in more detail what it is that will be reimbursable, what is the period of time that we will take into account, and should we have a recoupment clause.

Mr. President, what if they project all these savings, the taxpayers rush in, give them hundreds of millions of dollars for mergers and acquisitions, and then the savings are not realized? What do we do? Nothing. Perhaps we need a policy of recoupment that if, in fact, those savings are not realized over, say, 5 years, that we should have a policy of recoupment so that we can recoup back to the taxpayers the money that was spent out if, indeed, the savings do not accrue.

So I think it is a logical and a reasonable amendment with just a 1- year moratorium. I think the facts are on our side. I think the people are on our side on this issue, too. This does not go as far as the House bill. The House bill was retroactive, and there may be some --

I hope the managers will take another look at this amendment and how it is written and hopefully be able to support and include it in this bill, because I think it will go a long way towards, again, letting companies restructure, if in the marketplace -- if in the marketplace -- that is the best thing for them to do. Let it happen. But the Government should not be an active player in it one way or the other. That is all this amendment seeks to do.

Mr. President, I regret the disagreement with the Senator from Iowa. It appears to me the process we are following is one that has been worked out by the authorization committees, by the Appropriations Committees, and by the administration. It is really a nonpartisan area we are dealing with of trying to assure the survival of the defense industrial base and maintain that at the lowest possible cost to the taxpayers.

I do believe they have had some profits and there are profits that are coming back, primarily because they are writing off a lot of losses. They are abandoning a lot of buildings, selling buildings at a lot less than they paid for them. I expect we will see a period of time where there is some recouping of losses through tax advantages. That is another subject. I do think that is one of the incentives toward the restructuring, to try and take the losses and take advantage of them while there is still income from existing contracts.

I can reassure the Senate when we are paying 60 percent less than we were 10 years ago for procurement, we are not expanding the industrial base. This restructuring is reducing it. It is downsizing it. I hope we will end up by maintaining what we need.

Mr. President, I will offer an amendment which is a fairly straightforward amendment to transfer funds for two F-16's which the Air Force did not request either in its original budget request or in the so-called wish list, and to transfer that to antiterrorism initiatives of the Defense Department and specifically to a fund which was added this morning by an amendment authored by Senator McCain and myself.

We have a pressing need in the antiterrorism area. The number of F- 16's which were funded by the appropriations bill exceeds the request of the Air Force, again, both in its original budget request and in its supplemental request, the so-called wish list.

Here is the way this is actually working, Mr. President. The appropriations bill would add four F-16's to the Air Force's budget request of four. That is a total, then, of eight aircraft. Now, what happened during the Armed Services Committee consideration of the defense authorization bill was that each of the armed services was asked to provide a list of items that they would like to have funded by Congress if more money became available. These have been described in many ways and titled in many ways, but the service wish list is one of the ways they have been entitled it, and perhaps they are known best by that.

The Air Force, in its wish list, the list of items that it would like to have if it was given more money than was in the original budget request, asked for two extra F-16's. That is in the wish list above the budget request, but the bill before us provided four extra F-16's. So there is no urgent requirement for these two extra F-16's. The Air Force fighter force structure is fully protected. Even if we do not add any of the four extra F-16's, the Air Force needs roughly 1,250 F-16's to protect its fighter force structure.

We currently own more than 1,800 F-l6 aircraft, including over 260 F- 16's that are parked in long-term storage in the desert. Now, while these stored aircraft are not as modern as the brand new aircraft that we would buy in this year's budget, they would prevent the Air Force from needing to retire any squadrons in the near term because not enough aircraft would be available.

Mr. President, the Air Force budget continues to buy F- 16's because the service feels that they need to buy more F-16's to prevent a force structure reduction sometime around the turn of the century. But I do not see that anyone could really argue that having a couple more modern F-16's in a force structure of more than 1,200 aircraft is nearly as important as taking an immediate step to reduce our vulnerability to terrorist activities.

What this amendment would do would be to shift $48 million from aircraft that we do not need now, that was in neither the Air Force budget request nor in its wish list, and instead of spending that $48 million on the additional two F-16's not requested, would fund higher priority antiterrorist activities. We are familiar with a recent report of the Joint Chiefs that show that antiterrorism funding in this budget reflects a reduction over the past several fiscal years. We have heard that referred to today in an amendment that was offered by Senator McCain and myself.

These antiterrorist efforts have fallen short by some $56 million over this period. There were mitigating circumstances that may have led the Defense Department to make these reductions, such as changes in the number of bases, completion of construction projects, or other changes. But, surely, this recent attack in Saudi Arabia makes it abundantly clear that there is much more that we should be doing in our effort to address the terrorism problem. And those of us that were able to be at breakfast with Secretary Perry and General Shalikashvili this morning, I think, were given a very detailed list of the kind of efforts that we have to make if we are going to truly carry the war against terrorism to the terrorists. Spending $48 million more for antiterrorism instead of spending it on aircraft that we do not need right now surely makes good sense to me, and I hope it does to my colleagues, as well.

The amendment that I am offering tonight is an amendment that I said I would be offering during the authorization bill debate. At that time, I indicated an interest in trying to remove from the authorization bill these additional two F-16's above the original budget request in the supplemental wish list of the Air Force. I did not do it at that time. We were in a great hurry to address the issues in that bill at that time, and I did not do it.

But given the fact that this is now really the last chance that we will have to address this issue, and given the current need to put some resources into our antiterrorist activity, I thought that this would be an opportune moment to offer an amendment to transfer the money from the two F-16's not requested by the Air Force into the antiterrorism efforts that the Defense Department must engage in.

Ted Stevens

Mr. President, I must express some surprise at the Senator, in view of his position on the Armed Services Committee, and in view of the fact that today we have already, at the request of Senator McCain and Senator Levin, transferred, subject to authorization, $14 million to the Department of Defense for the purpose of antiterrorism activities. Now, that is subject to authorization.

The effect of Senator Levin's amendment now would be to transfer money that is authorized for F-16's to more money for the antiterrorism activities, and it is not authorized either. They have not received authorization for the first $14 million we put up for this antiterrorism program. That is not even defined yet. It is not defined by the authorization committee or by the Department.

Now, we did that in the spirit of bipartisanship and cooperation with the Armed Services Committee members. I find it very difficult to understand this amendment now, when the Chief of Staff of the Air Force came to see me, General Fogleman. He listed to me personally, as one of his highest priorities, getting these F-16's. The F-16's -- all four of them, not just two -- really are our weapons system for cooperation between the Air Force and the Army now, which is the close air support fighter that works in conjunction with ground troops in combat.

I say to my friend from Michigan that nowhere in the world can you see that so vividly as in the joint training exercises in my State of Alaska. We use the F-16's along with our Army forces there, and army forces from throughout the world come to participate in the training in my State in order to develop the ability to really use these new close air support fighter and ground troop accommodations. This is really one of the great things about our Defense Department now. This is a team. The Air Force and Army are now a team because of the F-l6. I think this is the message General Fogleman brought to us.

These F-16's are needed. As a matter of fact, we have gone from the concept of trying to meet the Soviets anywhere in the world -- a worldwide concept of defense to a concept of two major regional contingencies being what we will plan for. We plan for our ability to meet two major regional contingencies. If we carried out the plans that were previously approved by the authorization committee to do so, to meet two major regional contingencies, the Air Force would need 114 more F-16's. The Air Force is not fully supplied with aircraft to meet the plans to carry out their missions in the event of two major regional contingencies. Now, we are trying to move along in this way as best we can.

The Senate passed an authorization bill that included eight F-16's. Our committee has funded that request from the Armed Services Committee. We have not added funds for unauthorized F-16's. As a matter of fact, if you want to talk to the budget, we have $10 billion more money in this bill than was requested in the budget, and that is a battle we are going to have to face later with the administration to see whether they really want to maintain that figure.

Our bill, I point out once again, is $1.2 billion over last year's bill, but in terms of actual items covered, last year we did not fund the contingencies. This year we did fund the contingencies.

So, if you look at our bill fairly, we are below the level of 1996. This bill, despite the fact we have increased more than $10 billion over the budget, is less than we are spending now for defense. I think the recent events in Saudi Arabia, the fact that we have troops in Bosnia, and we have the crises that we are facing in the Pacific, God knows. I hope we are right. We believe we can get by with what we have in this bill. But I fear for the future of this country if we are wrong.

The Department budgets approximately $1 billion for military security forces. Antiterrorism is their primary mission. We have added $14 million to the $1 billion already budgeted, and the Senator wants to add more before there is even a plan to spend what we have budgeted now.

I say, with all good grace, to my friend that I am just surprised at this, after we have already agreed to the amendment that he and Senator McCain already delivered to us on the subject of antiterrorism. I can just state categorically that I oppose the amendment of the Senator from Michigan.
