(Letter Report, 02/17/95, GAO/NSIAD-95-92).
GAO identified programs in the Defense Department's (DOD) future funding plans for fiscal years 1995-99 for the following 13 categories: environmental cleanup and restoration, defense conversion, DOD dependents schools and Junior ROTC, basic research, counter-drug efforts, humanitarian and foreign assistance programs, civilian separation pay and military temporary early retirement authority, grants to colleges and universities, operation of the 89th Military Airlift Wing at Andrews Air Force Base, medical education and noncombat-related medical research, support for foreign military sales, antiterrorism activities, and pay and allowances to jailed military personnel. GAO notes that DOD planned to fund about $13 billion to $15 billion annually for programs in these 13 categories when the President submitted his fiscal year 1995 budget in February 1994. More than half of the funds are in the operations and maintenance account, which traditionally has funded combat training and other readiness-related items. The largest part of the remaining funds are in the research, development, test, and evaluation account. --------------------------- Indexing Terms ----------------------------- REPORTNUM: NSIAD-95-92 TITLE: DOD Budget: Selected Categories of Planned Funding for Fiscal Years 1995-99 DATE: 02/17/95 SUBJECT: Defense appropriations Deficit reduction Defense budgets Research and development Congressional/executive relations Personnel management Foreign military sales Presidential budgets Military pay Prisoners IDENTIFIER: DOD Future Years Defense Program Cover ================================================================ COVER Report to Congressional Requesters February 1995 DOD BUDGET - SELECTED CATEGORIES OF PLANNED FUNDING FOR FISCAL YEARS 1995-99 GAO/NSIAD-95-92 DOD Budget Abbreviations =============================================================== ABBREV BRAC - Base Realignment and Closure DOD - Department of Defense FYDP - Future Years Defense Program RDT&E - Research, Development, Test and Evaluation ROTC - Reserve Officer Training Corps Letter =============================================================== LETTER B-260307 February 17, 1995 The Honorable John Kasich Chairman, Committee on the Budget House of Representatives The Honorable Charles E. Grassley United States Senate At your request, we identified programs in the Department of Defense's (DOD) future funding plans for fiscal years 1995-99 for the 13 broad categories you selected. The categories are environmental (includes environmental cleanup, compliance, and restoration); defense conversion (includes funding to advance manufacturing and other technologies, to encourage the development of dual-use technologies, and for other programs; DOD dependents schools and Junior ROTC; basic research (includes programs to advance basic and applied research in universities and DOD laboratories); counter-drug programs; humanitarian and foreign assistance programs; civilian separation pay and military temporary early retirement authority; grants to universities and colleges; operation of the 89th Military Airlift Wing at Andrews Air Force Base; medical education and noncombat-related medical research; support for foreign military sales; antiterrorism activities; and pay and allowances to incarcerated military personnel. RESULTS IN BRIEF ------------------------------------------------------------ Letter :1 DOD planned funding of about $13 billion to $15 billion annually for programs in these 13 categories when the President submitted his fiscal year 1995 budget in February 1994. Program estimates may have changed as a result of congressional action and subsequent adjustments to the Future Years Defense Program.\1 We list the programs included in these categories in appendix I and describe the programs in appendix II. Over half of the planned funds for these programs are in the operations and maintenance account, which traditionally has funded combat training and other readiness-related items. The largest part of the remaining funds are in the research, development, test, and evaluation (RDT&E) account. -------------------- \1 DOD was unable to provide us the fiscal years 1996-2001 Future Years Defense Program in time to include more current estimates in this report. PLANNED FUNDING FOR THE CATEGORIES ------------------------------------------------------------ Letter :2 The planned funding estimates for 12 of the 13 categories for fiscal years 1995-99 are shown in table 1. DOD was unable to provide planned funding estimates for pay and allowances to incarcerated military personnel, so we discuss this category separately. We also present data reported by the Congressional Research Service on programs that were earmarked by Congress.

Note: Totals may not add due to rounding. PAY AND ALLOWANCES TO INCARCERATED MILITARY PERSONNEL ---------------------------------------------------------- Letter :2.1 DOD could not provide future funding estimates for its pay and allowances to incarcerated military personnel. However, the Defense Finance and Accounting Service estimates that DOD currently pays about $1 million monthly to over 750 prisoners. Most military personnel in confinement continue to receive pay and allowances while awaiting trial or other disposition. Some incarcerated military personnel continue to receive pay and allowances after a sentence has been rendered. Any forfeiture of pay is determined by court members or military judges within prescribed guidelines. Under Section 857 of Title 10 of the United States Code, forfeiture may not be applied to any pay or allowances accrued before a convening authority approves the sentence. FUNDING FOR PROGRAMS EARMARKED BY CONGRESS IN THE FISCAL YEAR 1995 BUDGET ---------------------------------------------------------- Letter :2.2 In October 1994, the Congressional Research Service reported on programs in the fiscal year 1995 defense legislation that were not requested by DOD but were earmarked by Congress.\2 While they may not be programmed in DOD's future funding plans, some of these programs would qualify for inclusion in the environmental and medical research categories. For example, Congress earmarked $103 million for environmental cleanup, conservation, or compliance at a number of military activities. Congress earmarked $307 million for medical research. This included $150 million for breast cancer research, $50 million for cooperative DOD and Veterans Administration medical research, $40 million for women's health research, and $34 million for bone marrow research. -------------------- \2 "Items in FY 1995 defense legislation that may not be directly related to traditional military capabilities" (Oct. 31, 1994). SCOPE AND METHODOLOGY ------------------------------------------------------------ Letter :3 Funding projections through fiscal year 1999 were drawn primarily from the 1995 Future Years Defense Program published in February 1994.\3 Program descriptions were taken primarily from the DOD Future Years Defense Program Structure Handbook. We verified our data with the Office of the Comptroller, DOD. In addition to our work at DOD, we interviewed officials and reviewed pertinent reports from the Congressional Budget Office and the Congressional Research Service. Data on payments to incarcerated military personnel were obtained from the military services and the Defense Finance and Accounting Service in Crystal City, Virginia. We did not obtain written agency comments. However, we discussed a draft of this report with responsible agency officials and have included their comments as appropriate. We conducted our review in January and February 1995 in accordance with generally accepted government auditing standards. -------------------- \3 Program estimates in DOD's Future Years Defense Program are expressed in total obligational authority. Total obligational authority is the sum of (a) new budget authority provided for a given fiscal year; (b) any balances brought forward from prior years that may remain available for obligation; and (c) any other amounts authorized to be credited to a specific fund or account during that year, including transfers between funds or accounts. ---------------------------------------------------------- Letter :3.1 We are providing copies of this report to appropriate House and Senate Committees; the Secretaries of Defense, the Air Force, the Army, and the Navy; and the Director, Office of Management and Budget. We will also provide copies to If you or your staff have any questions concerning this report, please call me on (202) 512-3504. The information for this report was developed by Robert L. Pelletier, Assistant Director; William W. Crocker III, Evaluator-in-Charge; Shawn M. Bates, Evaluator; and Donald Campbell, Evaluator. Richard Davis Director, National Security Analysis DETAILED ESTIMATES FOR SELECTED CATEGORIES OF DEFENSE FUNDING (FISCAL YEARS 1995-99) =========================================================== Appendix I Tables I.1 through I.10 provide more detailed program estimates for 10 categories. The support for foreign military sales and the cost of operating the 89th Military Airlift Wing categories are single program categories and are therefore not broken down in more detail in this appendix.
