SECTION 1. REVIEW AND STUDIES.

    The Secretary of the Army shall review the report of the Chief of 
Engineers on the Staten Island Coast from Fort Wadsworth to Arthur 
Kill, New York, published as House Document Number 181, Eighty-ninth 
Congress, and other pertinent reports for Staten Island, in response to 
the major storm damages of the Northeaster of December 11-13, 1992. The 
purpose of the review shall be to determine whether modifications of 
the recommendations contained in such report are advisable at the 
present time. In addition, the Secretary shall conduct a comprehensive 
study of the shore of Staten Island, and at the earliest time possible, 
investigations for the severely impacted communities of New Dorp Beach, 
Oakwood Beach, and Annadale Beach to analyze the vulnerability of these 
coastal areas and the causes for the ongoing erosion, including those 
processes which have been accelerated by the storm impacts.

    Not later than 1 year after the date of the enactment of this Act, 
the Secretary of the Army shall transmit to the Committee on Public 
Works and Transportation of the House of Representatives and the
