The Act authorizes funding for the defense of the United States and its interests abroad, for military construction, and for national security-related energy programs. H.R. 4986 includes the provisions (below): Sections 1080 (mutual aid), 1113 (uniform). SEC. 1080. RETENTION OF REIMBURSEMENT FOR PROVISION OF RECIPROCAL FIRE PROTECTION SERVICES. Section 5 of the Act of May 27, 1955 (chapter 105; 69 Stat. 67; 42 U.S.C. 1856d) is amended-(1) by striking "Funds" and inserting "(a) Funds"; and (2) by adding at the end the following new subsection: "(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a), all sums received for any Department of Defense activity for fire protection rendered pursuant to this Act shall be credited to the appropriation fund or account from which the expenses were paid. Amounts so credited shall be merged with funds in such appropriation fund or account and shall be available for the same purposes and subject to the same limitations as the funds with which the funds are merged.". SEC. 1113. UNIFORM ALLOWANCES FOR CIVILIAN EMPLOYEES. Section 1593(b) of title 10, United States Code, is amended by striking "$400 per year." and inserting "$400 per year (or such higher maximum amount as the Secretary of Defense may by regulation prescribe).". Section 1113 removes the previous maximum rate of 400.00 and should effectuate a change within DoD to provide uniform allowance parity with the non-DoD federal firefighter rate of 800.00 per year as prescribed by current law and OPM.

Keep supporting our troops! ljwww.HeroToHero.US Liz Jackson National Director HeroToHero.US 5700 100th Ave SW Suite 224 Lakewood, Wa 98499 253.279.9817 The national security personnel system (NSPS) that the department of defense had developed with the intent of stripping away bargaining rights from federal employees has been substantially revised in the 08 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) . After over three years of effort, language that was included in the National Defense Authorization Act and signed into law yesterday restored collective bargaining and appeal rights to federal employees and severely gutted other portions of NSPS. We will be sending out the specific language in the NDAA on NSPS in the near future. The historic efforts of the 34 unions involved in the United Defense Workers Coalition and the support of many members of the House and Senate have resulted in a clear message to the Bush Administration. Union Workers do have a voice, and they will be heard. Thanks to all of you for your support and understanding during this battle. Obviously this fight ate up a lot of resources and time but it was worth it in the end...... Jim J. International Association of Fire Fighters
