      "title": "Appropriations for FY2001: Military Construction",
      "summary": "The military construction (MilCon) appropriations bill finances (1) military construction projects\nin\nthe United States and overseas; (2) military family housing operations and construction; (3) U.S.\ncontributions to the NATO Security Investment Program; and (4) most base realignment and closure\ncosts.\n  This report reviews the appropriations and authorization process for military construction. The\ncongressional debate perennially centers on the adequacy of the President's budget for military\nconstruction needs and the necessity for congressional add-ons, especially for Guard and Reserve\nprojects. In recent years, Congress has frequently complained that the Pentagon has not adequately\nfunded military construction.\n  The Administration's FY2001 budget request for military construction is $8.0 billion, which is\n5.5% below the level provided in FY2000. This continues a downward trend from the peak FY1996\nlevel of $11.2 billion, the FY1997 level of $9.8 billion, the FY1998 level of $9.3 billion, the FY1999\nlevel of $9.0 billion and the FY2000 level of $8.4 billion.\n  \n  On May 16, 2000, the House passed the Military Construction Appropriations Act FY2001\n( H.R. 4425 ), by a 386-22 roll call vote. The House followed the House Appropriations\nCommittee's lead and passed the $8.634 billion bill with only one amendment. \n  On May 18, 2000, the Senate passed  S. 2521 , their version of the FY2001 Military\nConstruction Appropriations bill, on a 95-4 vote. Because emergency supplemental appropriations\nfor FY2000 was added onto this bill, the conference debate has focused on domestic and defense\nissues outside of military construction. For background and comprehensive information on the\nFY2000 supplemental funding, see  CRS Report RL30457(pdf) ,  Supplemental Appropriations for\nFY2000:\nPlan Colombia, Kosovo, Foreign Debt Relief, Home Energy Assistance and Other Initiatives ,\nby\nLarry Nowels, et al.\n  The Military Construction Appropriations conference report, recommending $8.834 billion, was\napproved by the House on June 29, 2000, and the Senate on June 30, 2000. It became  P.L. 106-246 \non July 13, 2000.\n  In authorization action, on May 18, 2000, the House approved its defense authorization bill\n( H.R. 4205 ,  H.Rept. 106-616 ). The Senate substituted their version of the defense\nauthorization bill --  S. 2549 ,  S.Rept. 106-292  -- in  H.R. 4205  and passed\nthat bill on July 13, 2000. The conference report ( H.Rept. 106-945 ) was passed by the House on\nOctober 11, 2000 and by the Senate on October 12, 2000. The conference authorized $8.8 billion,\n$787 million more than the President's request. The FY2001 defense authorization bill became  P.L.\n106-398  on October 30, 2000.",
