Housing and Community Facilities, $498.8 million

Troop housing is one of the most important and vital requirements in our construction program. We recognize the importance of this item in persuading personnel to stay in the military service as a career, and we believe implicitly that improved housing will provide both immediate and long-range benefits through increased re-enlistment, heightened morale, and reduced recruitment costs. The Service programs in FY 1973 are: Army, $300.1 million: Navy, $119.0 million; Air Force, $79.7 million.

The Army's request for troop housing and community facilities, represents a reorientation of construction priorities with major emphasis being placed on "peoples projects" designed to improve the conditions under which Service personnel and their families work and live. The request includes construction of 15.901 permanent enlisted barracks spaces and support facilities at $117.4 million: 791 semipermanent barracks spaces at $3.2 million; the complete modernization of 53.380 existing permanent barracks spaces including 48,470 spaces in CONUS at $103.2 million and 4,910 spaces Overseas at $6.9 million; 458 permanent bachelor officer quarters at $7.1 million; alterations to 70 semipermanent bachelor officer space in Germany at $.5 million; and a minor air conditioning project in a mess hall at $.1 million; or a total of $238.4 mililon for troop housing.

Additionally, the Army request includes $61.6 million for 48 various community facilities projects, including 41 projects at $53.9 million in the U.S. and $7.7 million for 7 projects Overseas.

The $35.0 million for community facilities will provide for two Chapel Centers and one Religious Education Facility, $1.6 million; four commissaries. $11.3 million; two gymnasiums, $1.5 million; one elementary/intermediate school, two elementary schools, three additions and one alteration to elementary schools, $9.6 million: additions and alterations to two airmen service cints and one new airmen service club, $1.2 million; six non-commissioned officer open messes, $6.1 million; two officers' open messes, $1.8 million; and seven miscellaneous community projects, $1.8 million.

Utilities and Ground Improvements, $234.1 million

This portion of the program provides for expansions and additions to utility Systems and road nets at various U.S. and Overseas locations.

The Military Department totals in the category of utilities and ground improvements are as follows: Army, $85.8 million; Navy, $119.3 million; Air Force, $29.0 million. In compliance with federal, state and local air and water pollution control regulations and Executive Order 11507 (4 Feb. 1970), there is included a total of $170.6 mililon for 156 pollution abatement projects as a continuation of the program begun four years ago to eliminate pollution at our military installations. All of these projects have been coordinated with the Environmental Protection Agency.

The pollution abatement projects in each of the Service programs are summarized as follows:

The Army's request includes $67.9 million for pollution abatement; $17.9 million for utilities systems including $8.0 million for electrical distribution or angmentation of power facilities; $1.9 million for an on-post network of roads at Edgewood Arsenal, Maryland, which are required to connect with the scheduled relocation of Maryland Highway No. 24; $1.8 million for improvements to Rockenbach Road at Fort Meade, Maryland, and $1.9 million for water distribution and storage facilities: $1.9 million for modernization and expansion of utilities systems at the U.S. Military Academy; and $1.5 million for miscellaneous items including road and parking facilities.

At the Naval Ammunition Depot, Oahu, Hawaii, Navy is seeking authority valued at $10.0 million to exchange land to prevent encroachment within the explosive hazard zone. Similarly, the Marine Corps is requesting $40.4 million in exchange authority to acquire interests in land contiguous to the Marine Corps Air Stations at El Toro and Santa Ana to prevent encroachment upon land areas required for air operations. The Air Force request for real estate totals $12.5 million, which includes $12.0 million for the acquisition of land and restrictive easements in support of the Air Installation Compatible Use Zones program at three locations; $0.3 million for the acquisition of 1,600 acres of restrictive easements at Arnold Engineering Development Center, Tennessee; and $0.2 million for the acquisition of 800 acres of land required for facilities in support of ground electronic equipment. Defense Agencies (Title IV), $46.4 million

The request for activities of the Defense Agencies contains $16.4 million for new construction and rehabilitation of existing facilities at 13 installations and $30.0 million for the Secretary of Defense Contingency Fund. The $16.4 million. is divided as follows:

This "contingency fund" has proven to be an invaluable and irreplaceable asset in these days of repositioning of forces throughout the Pacific area and of other military requirements related to the adjustments of our national posture which the Secretary of Defense considers vital to the security of the United States.

Total family housing request----

Senator SYMINGTON. Thank you, Mr. Secretary.

You have here an addendum to your statement. What do you plan to do with that?

Mr. SHILLITO. I would like to suggest that I not read the addendum, Mr. Chairman, but that the addendum be included for the record. The addendum does break down the construction program that we are requesting for fiscal year 1973, in the diverse categories that I have highlighted in my statement, sir.

Senator SYMINGTON. Senator Young.
Senator YOUNG. No questions.

Senator SYMINGTON. Senator Cannon?

Senator CANNON. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

In the breakout that you have for family housing, does that include the bachelor officer housing that you referred to earlier or are those separated in the total figures?

Mr. SHILLITO. The bachelor officer portion is separate from the family housing portion, Senator Cannon.

Senator CANNON. Do you in the addendum break out where these housing units will be located?

Mr. SHILLITO. The addendum does not break it out, Senator Cannon. Senator CANNON. That will be covered by the respective services when they testify?
