program to demilitarize the United States' stockpile of lethal chemical 
agents and munitions raises serious questions regarding that program. 
Accordingly, it is the sense of Congress that the Secretary of Defense

ensuring the maximum protection for the environment, the general 
public, and the personnel involved in the destruction of lethal

economic impacts on these communities and the unique reuse problems 
facing local communities associated with ongoing chemical weapons 
programs. The review should also include recommendations from the 
Secretary on methods for expeditious and cost-effective transfer of 
these facilities to local communities for base reuse or privatization. 
The Secretary shall submit to Congress a report on the review and 
evaluation not later than 90 days after the date of the enactment of

            (1) ground-based or space-based directed energy weapons; or
            (2) space-based interceptors.

SEC. 235. POLICY ON COMPLIANCE WITH THE ABM TREATY.

    (a) Policy Concerning Systems Subject to ABM Treaty.--Congress 
finds that, unless and until a missile defense system, system upgrade, 
or system component is flight tested in an ABM-qualifying flight test 
(as defined in subsection (c)), such system, system upgrade, or system 
component--
            (1) has not, for purposes of the ABM Treaty, been tested in 
        an ABM mode nor been given capabilities to counter strategic 
        ballistic missiles; and
            (2) therefore is not subject to any application, 
        limitation, or obligation under the ABM Treaty.
    (b) Prohibitions.--(1) Funds appropriated to the Department of 
Defense may not be obligated or expended for the purpose of--
            (A) prescribing, enforcing, or implementing any Executive 
        order, regulation, or policy that would apply the ABM Treaty 
        (or any limitation or obligation under such Treaty) to 
        research, development, testing, or deployment of a theater 
        missile defense system, a theater missile defense system 
        upgrade, or a theater missile defense system component; or
            (B) taking any other action to provide for the ABM Treaty 
        (or any limitation or obligation under such Treaty) to be 
        applied to research, development, testing, or deployment of a 
        theater missile defense system, a theater missile defense 
        system upgrade, or a theater missile defense system component.
    (2) This subsection applies with respect to each missile defense 
system, missile defense system upgrade, or missile defense system 
component that is capable of countering modern theater ballistic 
missiles.
    (3) This subsection shall cease to apply with respect to a missile 
defense system, missile defense system upgrade, or missile defense 
system component when that system, system upgrade, or system component 
has been flight tested in an ABM-qualifying flight test.
    (c) ABM-Qualifying Flight Test Defined.--For purposes of this 
section, an ABM-qualifying flight test is a flight test against a 
ballistic missile which, in that flight test, exceeds (1) a range of 
3,500 kilometers, or (2) a velocity of 5 kilometers per second.

SEC. 236. BALLISTIC MISSILE DEFENSE PROGRAM ACCOUNTABILITY.

Treaty'' means the Treaty Between the United States and the Union of 
Soviet Socialist Republics on the Limitation of Anti-Ballistic Missile 
Systems, and signed at Moscow on May 26, 1972, and includes Protocols 
to that Treaty, signed at Moscow on July 3, 1974.

SEC. 238. REPEAL OF MISSILE DEFENSE ACT OF 1991.

    The Missile Defense Act of 1991 is repealed.

         Subtitle D--Other Ballistic Missile Defense Provisions

SEC. 241. BALLISTIC MISSILE DEFENSE FUNDING FOR FISCAL YEAR 1996.

    Of the amounts authorized to be appropriated pursuant to section 
201 for fiscal year 1996 or otherwise made available to the Department 
of Defense for fiscal year 1996, not more than $3,070,199,000 may be 
obligated for Ballistic Missile Defense programs.
SEC. 242. POLICY CONCERNING BALLISTIC MISSILE DEFENSE.

    (a) Ballistic Missile Defense and Other Counterproliferation 
Efforts.--The Congress views the deployment of ballistic missile 
defenses as a necessary, but not sufficient, element of a broader 
strategy to discourage both the proliferation of weapons of mass 
destruction and the proliferation of means of their delivery and to 
defend against the consequences of such proliferation. The Congress, 
therefore, endorses and supports measures designed to slow or halt the 
proliferation of advanced technologies that pose a threat to the safety 
and security of the United States and to international stability.
    (b) Ballistic Missile Defense and Strategic Stability.--(1) The 
Congress views the deployment of ballistic missile defenses as a 
strategically stabilizing measure.
    (2) The deployment of Theater Missile Defense systems at the 
earliest practical date pursuant to section 232(a)(1) will deny 
potential adversaries the option of escalating a conflict by 
threatening or attacking United States forces, coalition partners of 
the United States, or allies of the United States with ballistic 
missiles armed with weapons of mass destruction to offset the 
operational and technical advantages of the United States and its 
coalition partners and allies.
    (3) The deployment of a National Missile Defense system at the 
earliest practical date pursuant to section 232(a)(2) against the 
threat of limited ballistic missile attacks--
            (A) will strengthen deterrence at the levels of forces 
        agreed to by the United States and Russia under the Strategic 
        Arms Reduction Talks Treaties (START-I and START-II); and
            (B) would further strengthen deterrence if reductions below 
        the levels permitted under START-II should be agreed to in the 
        future.
    (c) Presidential Discussions With Other Nations.--(1) The 
Congress--
            (A) notes that on the basis of section 235 it is no longer 
        necessary for the United States to continue discussions with 
        Russia to clarify the distinction between ABM and TMD systems 
        and, therefore, urges the President to discontinue any such 
        discussions;
            (B) notes that the ABM Treaty prohibits deployment of 
        ground-based interceptors in a number that would be sufficient 
        to assure that the entire continental United States, Alaska, 
        and Hawaii are defended against limited ballistic missile 
        attacks; and
            (C) notes that past discussions with Russia, based on 
        Russian President Yeltsin's proposal for a Global Protection 
        System, held promise of an agreement to amend the ABM Treaty to 
        allow defense against a limited ballistic missile attack that 
        would have included (among other measures) permitted deployment 
        of as many as four ground-based interceptor sites in addition 
        to the one site currently permitted under the ABM Treaty and 
        unrestricted exploitation of ground-based and space-based 
        sensors.
    (2) In light of the findings in paragraph (1), Congress urges the 
President to pursue high-level discussions with Russia to amend the ABM 
Treaty to permit--
            (A) deployment of the number of ground-based ABM sites 
        necessary to provide effective defense of the entire territory 
        of the United States against limited ballistic missile attack; 
        and
            (B) the unrestricted exploitation of sensors based within 
        the atmosphere and in space.
    (3) It is in the interest of the United States to develop its own 
missile defense capabilities in a manner that will permit the United 
States to complement and support the missile defense capabilities 
developed and deployed by its allies and possible coalition partners. 
Therefore, the Congress urges the President--
            (A) to pursue high-level discussions with allies and 
        selected other states on the means and methods by which the 
        parties on a bilateral basis can cooperate in the development, 
        deployment, and operation of ballistic missile defenses;
            (B) to take the initiative within the North Atlantic Treaty 
        Organization to develop consensus in the Alliance for a timely 
        deployment of effective ballistic missile defenses by the 
        Alliance; and
            (C) in the interim, to seek agreement with allies and 
        selected other states on steps the parties should take, 
        consistent with their national interests, to reduce the risks 
        posed by the threat of limited ballistic missile attacks, such 
        steps to include--
                    (i) the sharing of early warning information 
                derived from sensors deployed by the United States and 
                other states;
                    (ii) the exchange on a reciprocal basis of 
                technical data and technology to support both joint 
                development programs and the sale and purchase of 
                missile defense systems and components; and
                    (iii) operational level planning to exploit current 
                missile defense capabilities and to help define future 
                requirements.
SEC. 243. TESTING OF THEATER MISSILE DEFENSE INTERCEPTORS.

    Subsection (a) of section 237 of the National Defense Authorization 
Act for Fiscal Year 1994 (Public Law 103-160; 107 Stat. 1600) is 
amended to read as follows:
    ``(a) Testing of Theater Missile Defense Interceptors.--(1) The 
Secretary of Defense may not approve a theater missile defense 
interceptor program proceeding beyond the low-rate initial production 
acquisition stage until the Secretary certifies to the congressional 
defense committees that such program has successfully completed initial 
operational test and evaluation.
    ``(2) In order to be certified under paragraph (1) as having been 
successfully completed, the initial operational test and evaluation 
conducted with respect to an interceptors program must have included 
flight tests--
            ``(A) that were conducted with multiple interceptors and

SEC. 395. CORE LOGISTICS CAPABILITIES OF THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE.

    (a) In General.--Chapter 146 of title 10, United States Code, is 
amended by adding at the end the following new section:
``Sec. 2473. Depot-level maintenance and repair workload
    ``(a) Importance of Depot-Level Maintenance and Repair Core 
Capabilities.--It is essential for the national defense that the United 
States maintain a core depot-level maintenance and repair capability 
(including skilled personnel, equipment, and facilities) within 
facilities owned and operated by the Department of Defense that--
            ``(1) is of the proper size (A) to ensure a ready and 
        controlled source of technical competence and repair and 
        maintenance capability necessary to meet the requirements of 
        the National Military Strategy and other requirements for 
        responding to military contingencies, and (B) to provide for 
        rapid augmentation in time of emergency; and
            ``(2) is assigned sufficient workload to ensure cost 
        efficiency and proficiency in time of peace.
    ``(b) Determination of Core Depot Maintenance Activities.--(1) The 
Secretary of each military department shall identify those depot-level 
maintenance and repair activities under that Secretary's jurisdiction 
that are necessary to ensure for that military department the depot-
level maintenance and repair capability described in subsection (a) and 
as required by section 2464 of this title.
    ``(2) The Secretary of each military department shall prescribe the 
procedures to be used to quantify the requirements necessary to support 
the capability described in subsection (a).
    ``(c) Performance of Workload That Supports Depot-Level Maintenance 
and Repair Core Capabilities.--The Secretary of each military 
department shall require the performance of depot-level maintenance and 
repair of activities identified under subsection (b) at organic 
Department of Defense maintenance depots at levels sufficient to ensure 
that the Department of Defense maintains the core depot-level 
maintenance and repair capability described in subsection (a).
    ``(d) Interservicing of Workload.--The Secretary of Defense, after 
consultation with the Secretaries of the military departments, may 
transfer workload that supports the core capability described in 
subsection (a) from one military department to another. The Secretary 
of Defense shall use merit-based criteria in evaluating such transfers.
    ``(e) Source of Repair for Other Depot-Level Workloads.--In the 
case of depot-level maintenance and repair workloads in excess of the 
workload required pursuant to subsection (c) to be performed at organic 
Department of Defense depots, the Secretary of Defense, after 
consultation with the Secretaries of the military departments, may 
provide for the performance of those workloads through sources selected 
by competition. The Secretary of Defense shall use competition between 
private firms and organic Department of Defense depots for any such 
workload when the Secretary determines there are less than two 
qualified sources of supply among private firms for the performance of 
that specific depot-level maintenance workload.
    ``(f) Depot-Level Workload Competitions.--In any competition under 
this section for a depot-level workload (whether among private firms or 
between Department of Defense activities and private firms), bids from 
any entity participating in the competition shall accurately disclose 
all costs properly and consistently derived from accounting systems and 
practices that comply with laws, policies, and standards applicable to 
that entity. In any competition between Department of Defense 
activities and private firms, the Government calculation for the cost 
of performance of the function by Department of Defense civilian 
employees shall be based on an estimate using the most efficient and 
cost effective manner for performance of such function by Department of 
Defense civilian employees.
    ``(g) Annual Report.--Not later than March 1 of each year, the 
Secretary of Defense shall submit to Congress a report specifying depot 
maintenance core capability requirements determined in accordance with 
the procedures established to comply with subsection (b)(2) and the 
planned amount of workload to be accomplished in the organic depots of 
each military department in support of those requirements for the 
following fiscal year. The report shall identify the planned amount of 
workload measured by direct labor hours and by amounts expended and 
shall be shown separately for each commodity group.''.
    (b) Repeal of 60/40 Requirement and Requirement Relating to 
Competition.--Effective December 31, 1996--
            (1) section 2466 of title 10, United States Code, is 
        repealed unless Congress takes further action regarding such 
        repeal; and
            (2) section 2469 of title 10, United States Code, is 
        repealed unless Congress takes further action regarding such 
        repeal.
    (c) Interim Exclusion of Large Maintenance and Repair Projects From 
60/40 Requirement.--Effective on the date of the enactment of this Act, 
section 2466(d) of title 10, United States Code, is amended--
            (1) by striking out ``Exception.--'' and inserting in lieu 
        thereof ``Exceptions.--(1)''; and
            (2) by adding at the end the following new paragraph:
    ``(2) If a maintenance or repair project for a single item that is 
contracted for performance by non-Federal Government personnel accounts 
for 5 percent or more of the funds made available in a fiscal year to a 
military department or a Defense Agency for depot-level maintenance and 
repair workload, the project and the funds necessary for the project 
shall not be considered when applying the percentage limitation 
specified in subsection (a) to that military department or Defense 
Agency.''.
    (d) Clerical Amendments.--The table of sections at the beginning of 
chapter 146 of such title is amended--
            (1) effective December 31, 1996, by striking out the items 
        relating to sections 2466 and 2469; and
            (2) by adding at the end the following new item:

``2473. Depot-level maintenance and repair workload.''.
    (e) Report on Depot-Level Maintenance and Repair Workload.--Not 
later than March 1, 1996, the Secretary of Defense shall submit to 
Congress a report on the depot-level maintenance and repair workload of 
the Department of Defense. The report shall include the following:
            (1) The analysis required by subsection (f) of the effect 
        on that workload of the so-called 60/40 requirement.
            (2) The analysis required by subsection (g) of the 
        projected effect on that workload using a definition of core 
        capability consistent with the description in section 2473(a) 
        of title 10, United States Code, as added by subsection (a).
            (3) The comparison of those analyses required by subsection 
        (h).
            (4) Identification and analysis of significant issues that 
        arise if organic Department of Defense depots are allowed to 
        participate in a full and open competition with private firms 
        for repair workloads in excess of work that supports core 
        capabilities.
    (f) 60/40 Requirement.--(1) The report under subsection (e) shall 
include an analysis of the requirement under section 2466 of title 10, 
United States Code, that no more than 40 percent of the depot-level 
maintenance and repair work of the Department of Defense be contracted 
for performance by non-Government personnel. That analysis shall 
include the following:
            (A) A description of the effect on military readiness and 
        the national security resulting from that requirement, 
        including a description of any specific difficulties 
        experienced by the Department of Defense as a result of that 
        requirement.
            (B) A determination of the depot-level maintenance and 
        repair workload of the Department of Defense allocated for 
        performance by organic Department of Defense depots for any 
        fiscal year during which the requirement has been in effect, 
        the percentage of funds for that workload that were obligated 
        to private sector entities, shown for each such fiscal year and 
        for the entire period during which the requirement has been in 
        effect.
    (2) That analysis shall be made with respect to--
            (A) the distribution during the five fiscal years ending 
        with fiscal year 1995 of the depot-level maintenance and repair 
        workload of the Department of Defense between organic 
        Department of Defense depots and non-Government personnel, 
        measured by direct labor hours and by amounts expended, and 
        displayed, for that five-year period and for each year of that 
        period, so as to show (for each military department (and 
        separately for the Navy and Marine Corps)) such distribution 
        for each commodity group (such as naval vessels, aircraft, 
        tracked combat vehicles); and
            (B) the projected distribution during the five fiscal years 
        beginning with fiscal year 1996 of the depot-level maintenance 
        and repair workload of the Department of Defense between 
        organic Department of Defense depots and non-Government 
        personnel, set forth in the same manner as described in 
        subparagraph (A).
    (g) Core Workload Analysis.--The report under subsection (e) shall 
include an analysis of the depot-level maintenance and repair workload 
of the Department of Defense in which the Secretary uses the capability 
described in section 2473(a) of title 10, United States Code, as added 
by subsection (a), as the standard for determining that portion of such 
workload that is required to be performed in organic Department of 
Defense facilities. That analysis shall be made with respect to--
            (1) the distribution that would (using that standard) have 
        been made during the five fiscal years ending with fiscal year 
        1995 of the depot-level maintenance and repair workload of the 
        Department of Defense between organic Department of Defense 
        depots and non-Government personnel, measured by direct labor 
        hours and by amounts expended, and displayed, for that five-
        year period and for each year of that period, so as to show 
        (for each military department (and separately for the Navy and 
        Marine Corps)) such distribution for each commodity group (such 
        as naval vessels, aircraft, tracked combat vehicles); and
            (2) the projected distribution (using that standard) during 
        the five fiscal years beginning with fiscal year 1996 of the 
        depot-level maintenance and repair workload of the Department 
        of Defense between organic Department of Defense depots and 
        non-Government personnel, set forth in the same manner as 
        described in paragraph (1).
    (h) Comparison.--The report under subsection (e) shall include a 
comparison of the results of the analysis of the depot-level 
maintenance and repair workload of the Department of Defense under 
subsection (f) with the results of the analysis of that workload under 
subsection (g). The comparison shall include a comparison of the two 
analyses by service and commodity group with respect to each of the 
following:
            (1) Identification, based on each analysis, of core 
        workloads and of the capabilities and equipment needed to 
        perform depot-level maintenance and repair for those core 
        workloads.
            (2) Identification, based on each analysis, of depot-level 
        maintenance and repair work performed (or that would be 
        performed) at organic Department of Defense depots and of 
        depot-level maintenance and repair work performed (or that 
        would be performed) by non-Government personnel.
            (3) Readiness.
            (4) The Department of Defense budget.
            (5) The depot-level maintenance and repair workload 
        distribution, under each analysis, by direct labor hours 
        performed and by dollars expended.
            (6) Projected level, for each analysis, of Government 
        capital investment in public and private depot-level 
        maintenance and repair facilities.
    (i) Review by GAO.--(1) The Comptroller General of the United 
States shall conduct an independent audit of the findings of the 
Secretary of Defense in the report under subsection (e). The Secretary 
of Defense shall provide to the Comptroller General for such purpose 
all information used by the Secretary in preparing such report.
    (2) Not later than April 1, 1996, the Comptroller General shall 
submit to the congressional defense committees a report on the analysis 
by the Comptroller General of the report submitted by the Secretary of 
Defense under this section.
SEC. 396. EXPANSION OF SOUTHWEST BORDER STATES ANTI-DRUG INFORMATION 
              SYSTEM.

    Congress finds that the Southwest Border States Anti-Drug 
Information Systems program is an important element in the effort of

technicians of the Army and Air Force reserve components, the Secretary 
of Defense shall give priority to supporting authorizations for dual

technician that the individual maintain membership in the Selected 
Reserve (so as to be a so-called `dual-status' technician) and shall 
require that the civilian and military position skill requirements of 
dual-status military technicians be compatible. No Department of 
Defense funds may be spent for compensation for any military technician 
hired after the date of the enactment of this section who is not a 
member of the Selected Reserve, except that compensation may be paid

insured status and on the period of covered service served; no proof of 
lost income or expenses incurred as a result of covered service shall 
be required.
    ``(2) The Secretary shall determine annually the effect of 
inflation on the benefits and establish an adjustment rate which 
ensures that there is no loss of value in the benefits payable to a 
member. Adjustments shall apply to benefits for members with existing 
coverage and for newly eligible members. Such adjustments for inflation 
will be rounded to the nearest $10 increment.
    ``(3) Members of the Ready Reserve who, under regulations 
prescribed by the Secretary of Defense in coordination with the 
Secretary of Transportation, are serving on active duty (or full-time 
National Guard duty) shall not be eligible to purchase insurance under 
this chapter. Additional categories of members of the Ready Reserve, in 
the discretion of the Secretary of Defense, may also be excluded from 
eligibility to purchase insurance under this chapter.
    ``(b) Promptly following the effective date of this chapter, the 
Secretary shall make a one-time offer of insurance coverage under this 
chapter to all persons who were members of the Ready Reserve of an 
armed force on that date and who remain members of the Ready Reserve. 
Members of the Ready Reserve, first becoming eligible for coverage 
after the effective date of this chapter, shall be automatically 
enrolled for the basic benefit unless declined, or another amount is 
elected under subsection (a)(1).
    ``(c) Members shall be given a written explanation of the insurance 
and be advised that they have the right (1) to decline coverage 
altogether, (2) to select half the basic benefit, or (3) to select 
increased benefits. The right of a member of the Ready Reserve to 
decline, increase, or decrease coverage shall be exercised within 30 
days of first being eligible for coverage.
``Sec. 12526. Deductions; payment
    ``(a)(1) During any period in which a member insured under this 
chapter is participating in paid reserve training or other duty, there 
shall be deducted each month from the member's basic pay or 
compensation for inactive duty training an amount determined by the 
Secretary to be the same for all members of the Ready Reserve who 
subscribe to the same amount of insurance as the share of the cost 
attributable to insuring such member. As provided in section 12525 of 
this title, the Secretary may establish graduated monthly premiums for 
an amount of insurance less than the basic amount of coverage or in 
excess of the basic coverage amount.
    ``(2) Any member insured under this chapter who is not in a pay 
status in which the member receives pay on a monthly basis shall pay 
the cost attributable to insuring such member in accordance with 
regulations to be adopted by the Secretary.
    ``(b) An amount equal to the first amount due on insurance under 
this chapter may be advanced from current appropriations for military 
pay to any such member, which amount shall constitute a lien upon the 
pay for military service accruing to the person to whom such advance 
was made, and shall be collected therefrom if not otherwise paid. No 
disbursing or certifying officer shall be responsible for any loss by 
reason of such advance.
    ``(c) The sums withheld from the basic or other pay of insured 
members or deposited by insured members, together with the income 
derived from any dividends or premium rate adjustments, shall be 
deposited to the credit of the Fund. All premium payments for insurance 
issued under this chapter shall be deposited into the Fund.
``Sec. 12527. Payment of insurance; beneficiaries
    ``(a) A member insured under this chapter who serves in excess of 
30 days of covered service shall be paid the amount to which such 
member is entitled on a monthly basis, with the first payment due no 
later than one month following the 30th day of covered service. The 
Secretary shall adopt regulations prescribing the manner in which 
payments shall be made, either to the member or, in accordance with 
subsection (d), to a designated person or entity.
    ``(b) A member may designate in writing another person (including a 
spouse, parent, or other person with an insurable interest as 
determined by the Secretary by regulation) to whom the insurance 
payments to which such member is entitled are to be paid. Such 
designation may be made to a bank or other financial institution, to 
the credit of a designated person. In the latter event, insurance 
payments to which a member becomes entitled shall be paid to the 
designated person, bank or financial institution.
    ``(c) Any amount of insurance payable under this chapter on account 
of a deceased member's period of covered service shall be paid, upon 
the establishment of a valid claim therefor, to the beneficiary or 
beneficiaries which the former member had designated in writing. If no 
such designation has been made, the amount shall be payable in 
accordance with the laws of the State of the member's domicile.
``Sec. 12528. Premiums; accounting to the Secretary
    ``(a) Each policy of insurance provided by the Secretary under this 
chapter shall include for the first policy years a fixed monetary 
premium per $1,000 of insurance, based, in consultation with the Board, 
on the best available estimate of risk and financial exposure, levels 
of subscription by members, and other relevant factors. Different 
premium levels may be established for different amounts of coverage, 
provided that the premium rate established for the basic benefit shall 
not be at a premium rate higher than the premium rate set for increased 
coverages.
    ``(b) Each policy shall include provisions whereby the premium rate 
for the first policy year shall be continued for subsequent policy 
years (but the premium amount may be increased to account or inflation-
adjusted benefit increases). The rate may be readjusted for any 
subsequent year with the consent of the Secretary based on prior 
consultation with the Board of Actuaries.
``Sec. 12529. Forfeiture
    ``Any person found guilty of mutiny, treason, spying, or desertion, 
or who refuses to perform service in the armed forces or refuses to 
wear the uniform of any of the armed forces, shall forfeit all rights 
to insurance under this chapter.''.
    (2) The tables of chapters at the beginning of subtitle E, and at

              STRUCTURE.

    (a) Delay.--The Secretary of the Army may not take any action to

submitted.
    (b) Cost-Benefit Analysis.--The Secretary of the Army shall conduct 
a comparative cost-benefit analysis of various options for the 
reorganization of the regional headquarters and basic camp structure of 
the Army ROTC program. As part of such analysis, the Secretary shall 
measure each reorganization option considered against a common set of 
criteria.
    (c) Selection of Reorganization Option for Implementation.--Based 
on the findings resulting from the cost-benefit analysis under 
subsection (b) and such other factors as the Secretary considers 
appropriate, the Secretary shall select one reorganization option for 
implementation. The Secretary may select an option for implementation 
only if the Secretary finds that the cost-benefit analysis and other 
factors considered clearly demonstrate that such option, better than 
any other option considered--
            (1) provides the structure to meet projected mission 
        requirements;
            (2) achieves the most significant personnel and cost 
        savings;
            (3) uses existing basic and advanced camp facilities to the 
        maximum extent possible;
            (4) minimizes additional military construction costs; and
            (5) makes maximum use of the reserve components to support 
        basic and advanced camp operations, thereby minimizing the 
        effect of those operations on active duty units.
    (d) Report.--Not later than 60 days after the date of the enactment 
of this Act, the Secretary of the Army shall submit to the Committee on 
Armed Services of the Senate and the Committee on National Security of 
the House of Representatives a report describing the reorganization 
option selected under subsection (c). The report shall include the 
results of the cost-benefit analysis under subsection (b) and a

        be associated with an active-duty combat unit; and
            ``(2) that combat support and combat service support units 
        of the Army Selected Reserve that (as determined by the 
        Secretary) are essential for the execution of the National 
        Military Strategy be associated with active-duty units.''.

        determined by the Secretary under subsection (a)) is essential 
        for the execution of the National Military Strategy''; and
            (2) by striking out ``of the National Guard unit'' in

    (a) In General.--Chapter 39 of title 10, United States Code, is 
amended by adding at the end the following new section:

              ALLOCATIONS.

    (a) In General.--During fiscal years 1996 through 2001, the 
Comptroller General of the United States shall analyze the plans of the 
Secretary of the Army for the allocation of assigned active component 
end strengths for the Army through the requirements process known as 
Total Army Analysis 2003 and through any subsequent similar 
requirements process of the Army that is conducted before 2002. The 
Comptroller General's analysis shall consider whether the proposed 
active component end strengths and planned allocation of forces for 
that period will be sufficient to implement the national military 
strategy. In monitoring those plans, the Comptroller General shall 
determine the extent to which the Army will be able during that 
period--
            (1) to man fully the combat force based on the projected 
        active component Army end strength for each of fiscal years 
        1996 through 2001;
            (2) to meet the support requirements for the force and 
        strategy specified in the report of the Bottom-Up Review, 
        including requirements for operations other than war; and
            (3) to streamline further Army infrastructure in order to 
        eliminate duplication and inefficiencies and replace active 
        duty personnel in overhead positions, whenever practicable, 
        with civilian or reserve personnel.
    (b) Access to Documents, Etc.--The Secretary of the Army shall 
ensure that the Comptroller General is provided access, on a timely 
basis and in accordance with the needs of the Comptroller General, to 
all analyses, models, memoranda, reports, and other documents prepared 
or used in connection with the requirements process of the Army known 
as Total Army Analysis 2003 and any subsequent similar requirements 
process of the Army that is conducted before 2002.
    (c) Annual Report.--Not later than March 1 of each year through 
2002, the Comptroller General shall submit to Congress a report on the 
findings and conclusions of the Comptroller General under this section.

department shall submit to the Committee on Armed Services of the 
Senate and the Committee on National Security of the House of 
Representatives a report on the units under that Secretary's 
jurisdiction that (as determined by the Secretary) are high-priority 
support units that would deploy early in a contingency operation or 
other crisis and that are, as a matter of policy, managed at less than 
100 percent of their authorized strengths. The Secretary shall include 
in the report the number of such high-priority support units (shown by 
type of unit), the level of manning within such high-priority support 
units, and either the justification for manning of less than 100 
percent or the status of corrective action.
SEC. 525. SENSE OF CONGRESS CONCERNING PERSONNEL TEMPO RATES.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Excessively high personnel tempo rates for members of 
        the Armed Forces resulting from high-tempo unit operations 
        degrades unit readiness and morale and eventually can be 
        expected to adversely affect unit retention.
            (2) The Armed Forces have begun to develop methods to 
        measure and manage personnel tempo rates.
            (3) The Armed Forces have attempted to reduce operations 
        and personnel tempo for heavily tasked units by employing 
        alternative capabilities and reducing tasking requirements.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--The Secretary of Defense should continue to 
enhance the knowledge within the Armed Forces of personnel tempo and to 
improve the techniques by which personnel tempo is managed with a view 
toward establishing and achieving reasonable personnel tempo standards 
for all personnel, regardless of unit or assignment.

the Uniformed Services Treatment Facilities. The evaluation shall 
include an examination of whether the benefit fee and copayment 
schedule may--

        for closure in the 1995 round of the base closure process.
            (3) As a result of these base closures, tens of thousands 
        of covered beneficiaries under chapter 55 of title 10, United 
        States Code, who reside in the vicinity of affected 
        installations will be left without immediate access to military 
        medical treatment facilities.

              PRIVATE SECTOR WORK OF DEFENSE CONTRACTORS.

    (a) Defense Capability Preservation Agreement.--The Secretary of 
Defense may enter into an agreement, to be known as a ``defense 
capability preservation agreement'', with a defense contractor under 
which the cost reimbursement rules described in subsection (b) shall be 
applied. Such an agreement may be entered into in any case in which the 
Secretary determines that the application of such cost reimbursement 
rules would facilitate the achievement of the policy set forth in 
section 2501(c) of title 10, United States Code.
    (b) Cost Reimbursement Rules.--(1) The cost reimbursement rules 
applicable under an agreement entered into under subsection (a) are as 
follows:
            (A) The Department of Defense shall, in determining the 
        reimbursement due a contractor for its indirect costs of 
        performing a defense contract, allow the contractor to allocate 
        indirect costs to its private sector work only to the extent of 
        the contractor's allocable indirect private sector costs, 
        subject to subparagraph (C).
            (B) For purposes of subparagraph (A), the allocable 
        indirect private sector costs of a contractor are those costs 
        of the contractor that are equal to the amount by which the 
        revenue attributable to the private sector work of the 
        contractor exceeds the sum of--
                    (i) the direct costs attributable to such work, and
                    (ii) the incremental indirect costs attributable to 
                such work.
            (C) The total amount of allocable indirect private sector 
        costs for a contract in any year of the agreement may not 
        exceed the amount of indirect costs that a contractor would 
        have allocated to its private sector work during that year in 
        accordance with the contractor's accounting practices.
    (2) The cost reimbursement rules set forth in paragraph (1) may be 
modified if the Secretary of Defense determines that modifications are 
appropriate to the particular situation to facilitate achievement of 
the policy set forth in section 2501(c) of title 10, United States 
Code.
    (c) Relationship to Accounting Practice Change.--The use of the 
cost reimbursement rules described in subsection (b) under such an 
agreement with a contractor and the implementation of such an agreement 
does not constitute a change in cost accounting practices of the 
contractor within the meaning of section 26(h)(1)(B) of the Office of 
Federal Procurement Policy Act (41 U.S.C. 422(h)(1)(B)).
    (d) Contracts Covered.--An agreement entered into with a contractor 
under subsection (a) shall apply to all Department of Defense contracts 
with the contractor either existing on the date on which the agreement 
was entered into or awarded during the term of the agreement.

request the parties to meet with a Board judge, or an attorney employed 
by the Board, for the purpose of attempting to resolve the dispute or

consistency with applicable statutes. A decision or order of the Board 
pursuant to this section shall not be subject to interlocutory appeal 
or review.
    (b) Standard of Review.--In deciding a protest, the Board may 
consider all evidence that is relevant to the decision under protest. 
It shall accord a presumption of correctness to all facts found and 
determinations made by the contracting officer whose decision is being 
protested. The protester may rebut this presumption by showing, by a 
preponderance of the evidence, that a finding or determination was 
incorrect. The Board may find that a decision by a contracting officer 
violates a statute or regulation for any of the reasons stated in 
section 706(2) of title 5, United States Code.
    (c) Determination of Whether to Suspend Authority To Conduct

hearing to determine whether the Board should suspend the authority of 
the executive agency involved (or its head) to conduct such procurement 
until the Board can decide the protest.
    (2) The Board shall suspend the authority of the executive agency 
(or its head) unless the agency concerned establishes that--
            (A) absent action by the Board, contract award is likely to 
        occur within 30 days after the hearing; and
            (B) urgent and compelling circumstances which significantly 
        affect interests of the United States will not permit waiting 
        for the decision of the Board.
    (3) A suspension under paragraph (2) shall not preclude the 
executive agency concerned from continuing the procurement process up 
to but not including award of the contract unless the Board determines 
such action is not in the best interests of the United States.
    (d) Determination of Whether to Suspend Authority To Conduct 
Procurement in Protest Filed After Contract Award.--(1) If, with 
respect to an award of a contract, the Board receives notice of a 
protest under this section within the period described in paragraph 
(2), the Board shall, at the request of an interested party, hold a 
hearing to determine whether the Board should suspend the authority of 
the executive agency involved (or its head) to conduct such procurement 
until the Board can decide the protest.
    (2) The period referred to in paragraph (1) is the period beginning 
on the date on which the contract is awarded and ending at the end of 
the later of--
            (A) the tenth day after the date of contract award; or
            (B) the fifth day after the debriefing date offered to an 
        unsuccessful offeror for any debriefing that is requested and, 
        when requested, is required.
    (3) The Board shall hold the requested hearing within 5 days after 
the date of the filing of the protest or, in the case of a request for 
debriefing, within 5 days after the later of the date of the filing of 
the protest or the date of the debriefing.
    (4) The Board shall suspend the procurement authority of the 
executive agency involved (or its head) to acquire any goods or 
services under the contract which are not previously delivered and 
accepted unless such agency establishes that urgent and compelling 
circumstances which significantly affect interests of the United States 
will not permit waiting for the decision of the Board.
    (e) Procedures.--
            (1) Proceedings and discovery.--The Board shall conduct 
        proceedings and allow such discovery as may be required for the 
        expeditious, fair, and reasonable resolution of the protest. 
        The Board shall limit discovery to material which is relevant 
        to the grounds of protest or to such affirmative defenses as 
        the executive agency involved, or any intervenor supporting the 
        agency, may raise.
            (2) Priority.--The Board shall give priority to protests 
        filed under this section over contract disputes and alternative 
        dispute services. Except as provided in paragraph (3), the 
        Board shall issue its final decision within 65 days after the 
        date of the filing of the protest, unless the Chairman 
        determines that the specific and unique circumstances of the 
        protest require a longer period, in which case the Board shall 
        issue such decision within the longer period determined by the 
        Chairman. An amendment that adds a new ground of protest should 
        be resolved, to the maximum extent practicable, within the time 
        limits established for resolution of the initial protest.
            (3) Threshold.--Any protest in which the anticipated value 
        of the contract award that will result from the protested 
        procurement, as estimated by the executive agency involved, is 
        less than $1,000,000 shall be considered under simplified rules 
        of procedure. These rules shall provide that discovery in such 
        protests shall be in writing only. Such protests shall be 
        decided by a single Board judge, whose decision shall be final 
        and conclusive and shall not be set aside except in cases of 
        fraud. The Board shall issue its final decision in each such 
        protest within 35 days after the date of the filing of the 
        protest.
            (4) Calculation of time for adr.--In calculating time for 
        purposes of paragraph (2) or (3) of this subsection, any days 
        during which proceedings are suspended for the purpose of 
        attempting to resolve the protest by alternative means of 
        dispute resolution, up to a maximum of 20 days, shall not be 
        counted.
            (5) Dismissal of frivolous protests.--The Board may dismiss 
        a protest that the Board determines is frivolous or which, on 
        its face, does not state a valid basis for protest.
            (6) Payment of costs for frivolous protests.--(A) If the 
        Board expressly finds that a protest or a portion of a protest 
        is frivolous or does not state on its face a valid basis for 
        protest, the Board shall declare that the protester or other 
        interested party who joins the protest is liable to the United 
        States for payment of the costs described in subparagraph (B) 
        unless--
                    (i) special circumstances would make such payment 
                unjust; or
                    (ii) the protester obtains documents or other 
                information after the protest is filed with the Board 
                that establishes that the protest or a portion of the 
                protest is frivolous or does not state on its face a 
                valid basis for protest, and the protester then 
                promptly withdraws the protest or portion of the 
                protest.
            (B) The costs referred to in subparagraph (A) are all of 
        the costs incurred by the United States of reviewing the 
        protest, or of reviewing that portion of the protest for which 
        the finding is made, including the fees and other expenses (as 
        defined in section 2412(d)(2)(A) of title 28, United States 
        Code) incurred by the United States in defending the protest.
    (f) Decisions and Corrective Actions on Protests.--(1) In making a 
decision on protests filed under this section, the Board shall accord 
due weight to the goals of economic and efficient procurement, and 
shall take due account of the rule of prejudicial error.
    (2) If the Board determines that a decision of a contracting 
officer violates a statute or regulation, the Board may order the 
agency (or its head) to take such corrective action as the Board 
considers appropriate. Corrective action includes requiring that the 
Federal agency--
            (A) refrain from exercising any of its options under the 
        contract;
            (B) recompete the contract immediately;
            (C) issue a new solicitation;
            (D) terminate the contract;
            (E) award a contract consistent with the requirements of 
        such statute and regulation;
            (F) implement any combination of requirements under 
        subparagraphs (A), (B), (C), (D), and (E); or
            (G) implement such other actions as the Board determines 
        necessary.
    (3) If the Board orders corrective action after the contract award, 
the affected contract shall be presumed valid as to all goods or 
services delivered and accepted under the contract before the 
corrective action was ordered.
    (4) Any agreement that provides for the dismissal of a protest and 
involves a direct or indirect expenditure of appropriated funds shall 
be submitted to the Board and shall be made a part of the public record 
(subject to any protective order considered appropriate by the Board) 
before dismissal of the protest.
    (g) Authority To Declare Entitlement to Costs.--(1)(A) Whenever the 
Board determines that a decision of a contracting officer violates a 
statute or regulation, it may, in accordance with section 1304 of title 
31, United States Code, further declare an appropriate prevailing party 
to be entitled to the costs of--
            (i) filing and pursuing the protest, including reasonable 
        attorneys' fees and consultant and expert witness fees, and
            (ii) bid and proposal preparation.
    (B) No party (other than a small business concern (within the 
meaning of section 3(a) of the Small Business Act)) may be declared 
entitled under this paragraph to costs for--
            (i) consultants and expert witness fees that exceed the 
        highest rate of compensation for expert witnesses paid by the 
        Federal Government, or
            (ii) attorneys' fees that exceed $150 per hour unless the 
        Board, on a case by case basis, determines that an increase in 
        the cost of living or a special factor, such as the limited 
        availability of qualified attorneys for the proceedings 
        involved, justifies a higher fee.
    (2) Payment of amounts due from an agency under paragraph (1) or 
under the terms of a settlement agreement under subsection (e)(4) shall 
be made from the appropriation made by section 1304 of title 31, United 
States Code, for the payment of judgments. The executive agency 
concerned shall reimburse that appropriation account out of funds 
available for the procurement.
    (h) Appeals.--Except as provided in subsection (e)(3), a final 
decision of the Board may be appealed as set forth in section 8(d)(1) 
of the Contract Disputes Act of 1978 by the head of the executive 
agency concerned and by any interested party, including interested 
parties who intervene in any protest filed under this section.
    (i) Additional Relief.--Nothing contained in this section shall 
affect the power of the Board to order any additional relief which it 
is authorized to provide under any statute or regulation.
    (j) Nonexclusivity of Remedies.--Nothing contained in this section 
shall affect the right of any interested party to file a protest with 
the contracting agency or to file an action in the United States Court 
of Federal Claims or in a United States district court.

procedures prescribed by this section with respect to any operation of 
the Department of Defense--
            ``(A) that involves the deployment (other than for a 
        training exercise) of elements of the armed forces for a 
        purpose other than a purpose for which funds have been 
        specifically provided in advance; or
            ``(B) that involves humanitarian assistance, disaster 
        relief, or support for law enforcement (including immigration

        advance.
    ``(2) Whenever any operation described in paragraph (1) is 
commenced, the Secretary of Defense shall designate and identify that 
operation for the purposes of this section and shall promptly notify 
Congress of that designation (and of the identification of the 
operation).
    ``(3) This section does not provide authority for the President or 
the Secretary of Defense to carry out any operation, but establishes 
mechanisms for the Department of Defense by which funds are provided 
for operations that the armed forces are required to carry out under 
some other authority.
    ``(b) Waiver of Requirement To Reimburse Support Units.--(1) The 
Secretary of Defense shall direct that, when a unit of the armed forces 
participating in an operation described in subsection (a) receives 
services from an element of the Department of Defense that operates 
through the Defense Business Operations Fund (or a successor fund), 
such unit of the armed forces may not be required to reimburse that 
element for the incremental costs incurred by that element in providing 
such services, notwithstanding any other provision of law or any 
Government accounting practice.
    ``(2) The amounts which but for paragraph (1) would be required to 
be reimbursed to an element of the Department of Defense (or a fund) 
shall be recorded as an expense attributable to the operation and shall 
be accounted for separately.
    ``(c) Transfer Authority.--(1) Whenever there is an operation of 
the Department of Defense described in subsection (a), the Secretary of 
Defense may, subject to the provisions of appropriations Acts, transfer 
amounts described in paragraph (3) to accounts from which incremental 
expenses for that operation were incurred in order to reimburse those 
accounts for those incremental expenses. Amounts so transferred shall 
be merged with and be available for the same purposes as the accounts 
to which transferred.
    ``(2) The total amount that the Secretary of Defense may transfer 
under the authority of this section in any fiscal year is $200,000,000.
    ``(3) Transfers under this subsection may only be made from amounts 
appropriated to the Department of Defense for any fiscal year that 
remain available for obligation from any of the following accounts:

        from funds available for administration and service-wide 
        activities).
    ``(4) The authority provided by this subsection is in addition to 
any other authority provided by law authorizing the transfer of amounts 
available to the Department of Defense. However, the Secretary may not 
use any such authority under another provision of law for a purpose 
described in paragraph (1) if there is authority available under this 
subsection for that purpose.
    ``(5) The authority provided by this subsection to transfer amounts 
may not be used to provide authority for an activity that has been 
denied authorization by Congress.
    ``(6) A transfer made from one account to another under the 
authority of this subsection shall be deemed to increase the amount 
authorized for the account to which the amount is transferred by an 
amount equal to the amount transferred.
    ``(d) Financial Plan.--(1) Within 30 days after the beginning of an 
operation described in subsection (a), the Secretary of Defense shall 
submit to Congress a financial plan for the operation that sets forth 
the manner by which the Secretary proposes to obtain funds for the cost 
to the United States of the operation. The plan shall specify in detail 
how the Secretary proposes to restore balances in the Defense Business 
Operations Fund (or a successor fund) to the levels that would have 
been anticipated but for the provisions of subsection (b). The 
Secretary may not include in such a plan a means to restore such 
balances that is prohibited by paragraph (2) or (4).
    ``(2) The Secretary may not restore (or propose in a plan under 
paragraph (1) to restore) balances in the Defense Business Operations 
Fund through increases in rates charged by that fund in order to 
compensate for costs incurred and not reimbursed due to subsection (b).
    ``(3) If the Secretary of Defense transfers funds under subsection 
(c), the Secretary shall submit to Congress, within 30 days of such 
transfer, a plan for the restoration of the balance in the each account 
from which the transfer was made to the level that would have been the 
case but for the transfer.
    ``(4) The Secretary may not restore (or propose in a plan under 
paragraph (1) or (3) to restore) balances in any the Defense Business 
Operations Fund or any other fund or account through the use of 
unobligated amounts in an appropriation made for operation and 
maintenance that are available within that appropriation for an account 
(known as a budget activity 1 account) that is specified as being for 
operating forces.
    ``(e) Submission of Requests for Supplemental Appropriations.--(1) 
Whenever there is an operation described in subsection (a), the 
President shall submit to Congress a request for the enactment of 
supplemental appropriations for the then-current fiscal year, to be 
designated as an emergency supplemental appropriations, in order to 
provide funds to replenish the Defense Business Operations Fund or any 
other fund or account of the Department of Defense from which funds for 
the incremental expenses of that operation were derived under this 
section.
    ``(2) A request under paragraph (1) shall be submitted not later 
than the earlier of (A) the time at which incremental expenses for the 
operation exceed $10,000,000, or (B) 90 days after the date on which 
the operation begins. The request shall be submitted as a separate 
request from any other legislative proposal.
    ``(f) Incremental Costs.--For purposes of this section, incremental 
costs of the Department of Defense with respect to an operation are the 
costs of the Department that are directly attributable to the operation 
(and would not have been incurred but for the operation).
    ``(g) Relationship to War Powers Resolution.--This section may not 
be construed as altering or superseding the War Powers Resolution. This 
section does not provide authority to conduct any military operation.
    ``(h) GAO Compliance Reviews.--The Comptroller General of the 
United States shall from time to time, and when requested by a 
committee of Congress, conduct a review of the defense funding 
structure under this section to determine whether the Department of 
Defense is complying with the requirements and limitations of this 
section.
``Sec. 127b. Budgeting for ongoing operations
    ``(a) Requirement for Inclusion in Budget.--In the case of an 
operation of the Department of Defense described in subsection (c), the 
President shall include with the budget submitted to Congress pursuant 
to section 1105 of title 31 for the next fiscal year a specific request 
for enactment of legislation to provide for the provision of funds for 
such operation for that fiscal year in a manner that will result in 
there not being a lower amount of funds available to the Department of 
Defense for that fiscal year than would be the case if that operation 
were not carried out during that year. Such a request shall include one 
or more of the following:
            ``(1) A request for enactment of appropriation of funds for 
        the incremental costs for that operation that are expected to 
        be incurred by the Department of Defense during the fiscal year

            ``(2) A request for enactment of appropriation of funds for 
        the incremental costs for that operation that are expected to 
        be incurred by the Department of Defense during the fiscal year

        waivers as may be necessary to ensure that (if enacted) such 
        appropriations are not counted against the total amount of 
        funds for the Department of Defense, or for the national 
        defense budget function, for purpose of any statutory 
        limitation or restriction.
            ``(3) A request for enactment of rescissions.
    ``(b) Limitation.--In the case of any operation to which the

not complied with.
    ``(c) Covered Operations.--This section applies with respect to any 
operation of the Department of Defense involving the use of the Armed 
Forces that--
            ``(1) is ongoing in the first quarter of a fiscal year;

        year;
            ``(3) for which appropriations were not specifically 
        provided in advance for the current fiscal year.
    ``(d) Waiver Authority.--The President may waive the provisions of 
this section for any fiscal year--

                Subtitle B--Naval Vessels and Shipyards
SEC. 1021. CONTRACT OPTIONS FOR LMSR VESSELS.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) A requirement for the Department of the Navy to acquire 
        19 large, medium-speed, roll-on/roll-off (LMSR) vessels was 
        established by the Secretary of Defense in the Mobility 
        Requirements Study conducted after the Persian Gulf War 
        pursuant to section 909 of the National Defense Authorization 
        Act for Fiscal Year 1991 (Public law 101-510; 104 Stat. 1623) 
        and was revalidated by the Secretary of Defense in the report 
        entitled ``Mobility Requirements Study Bottom-Up Review 
        Update'', submitted to Congress in April 1995.
            (2) The Strategic Sealift Program is a vital element of the 
        national military strategy calling for the Nation to be able to 
        fight and win two nearly simultaneous major regional 
        contingencies.
            (3) The Secretary of the Navy has entered into contracts 
        with shipyards covering acquisition of a total of 17 such LMSR 
        vessels, of which five are vessel conversions and 12 are new 
        construction vessels. Under those contracts, the Secretary has 
        placed orders for the acquisition of 11 vessels and has options 
        for the acquisition of six more, all of which would be new 
        construction vessels. The options allow the Secretary to place 
        orders for one vessel to be constructed at each of two 
        shipyards for award before December 31, 1995, December 31, 
        1996, and December 31, 1997, respectively.
            (4) Acquisition of an additional two such LMSR vessels, for 
        a total of 19 vessels (the requirement described in paragraph 
        (1)) would contribute to preservation of the industrial base of 
        United States shipyards capable of building auxiliary and 
        sealift vessels.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that the 
Secretary of the Navy should plan for, and budget to provide for, the 
acquisition as soon as possible of a total of 19 large, medium-speed, 
roll-on/roll-off (LMSR) vessels (the number determined to be required 
in the Mobility Requirements Study referred to in subsection (a)(1)), 
rather than only 17 such vessels (the number of vessels under contract 
as of May 1995).
    (c) Additional New Construction Contract Option.--The Secretary of 
the Navy should negotiate with each of the two shipyards holding new 
construction contracts referred to in subsection (a)(3) (Department of 
the Navy contracts numbered N00024-93-C-2203 and N00024-93-C-2205) for 
an option under each such contract for construction of one additional 
such LMSR vessel, with such option to be available to the Secretary for 
exercise during 1995, 1996, or 1997.
    (d) Report.--The Secretary of the Navy shall submit to the 
congressional defense committees, by March 31, 1996, a report stating 
the intentions of the Secretary regarding the acquisition of options 
for the construction of two additional LMSR vessels as described in 
subsection (c).
SEC. 1022. VESSELS SUBJECT TO REPAIR UNDER PHASED MAINTENANCE

        entered into remains covered by the contract, regardless of 
        operating command to which the vessel is subsequently assigned, 
        unless the vessel is taken out of service for the Department of 
        the Navy; and
            ``(2) any vessel of a class or type covered by the contract 
        that is delivered to the Navy while the contract is in effect 
        is covered by the contract.''.

Beverly, Massachusetts, who was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor

SEC. 1033. POLICY CONCERNING EXCESS DEFENSE INDUSTRIAL CAPACITY.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds as follows:
            (1) The Base Closure and Realignment Commissions have 
        recommended that certain Government-owned defense industrial 
        facilities which produce goods and services that were required 
        during the Cold War, but which are no longer required for the 
        national security, be closed.
            (2) The Secretary of Defense has determined that the 
        maintenance of certain other Government-owned defense 
        industrial facilities is necessary to support the research, 
        development, and manufacture of goods and services that are 
        still required to protect the security of the United States.
            (3) These Government-owned defense industrial facilities 
        are critical to the security of the Nation and should remain 
        under Government control.
            (4) Current work requirements at some of these Government-
        owned defense industrial facilities have fallen below a 
        reasonably economic level of operation, increasing the cost of 
        producing required goods and services.
            (5) Existing law and policy have failed to address 
        adequately the supplemental requirements necessary to operate 
        these Government-owned defense industrial facilities in a cost-
        efficient manner and, thereby, to maintain appropriate 
        readiness for future national security needs.
            (6) The security interests of the United States would be 
        served by the establishment under law of a policy that requires 
        the best-value operation of Government-owned defense industrial 
        facilities.
            (7) Such a policy should include, but not necessarily be 
        limited to, requirements that--
                    (A) the required capability and capacity not being 
                fully used at such Government-owned facilities be 
                maintained with separate funding so as to stabilize 
                operational costs; and
                    (B) those facilities not be limited by workyear/end 
                strength hiring constraints.
    (b) Prohibition.--No funds appropriated pursuant to an 
authorization of appropriations in this Act may be used for capital 
investment in, or the development and construction of, a Government-
owned, Government-operated defense industrial facility unless the 
Secretary of Defense certifies to the Congress that no similar 
capability or minimally used capacity exists in any other Government-
owned, Government-operated defense industrial facility.

determination under subsection (a) that an institution has an anti-ROTC 
policy, or that an institution previously determined to have an anti-
ROTC policy no longer has such a policy, the Secretary--

        Secretary of Education and to the Committee on Armed Services

        subsection (a)(1) on the eligibility of that institution for 
        Department of Defense grants and contracts.

        Defense from maintaining or establishing a unit of the Senior 
        Reserve Officer Training Corps at that institution, or
            ``(2) prohibits, or in effect prevents, a student at that 
        institution from enrolling in a unit of the Senior Reserve 
        Officer Training Corps at another institution of higher 
        education.''.
    (b) Clerical Amendment.--The table of sections at the beginning of 
such chapter is amended by adding at the end the following new item:

``983. Institutions of higher education that prohibit Senior ROTC 
                            units: denial of Department of Defense 
                            grants and contracts.''.

States that are covered by the agreement, the Secretary of Defense 
shall rescind the Secretary's blanket waiver of the Buy American Act 
with respect to such types of products produced in that foreign 
country.
    (2) An agreement referred to in paragraph (1) is any reciprocal 
defense procurement memorandum of understanding, between the United

SEC. 1227. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON ABM TREATY VIOLATIONS.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress finds the following:
            (1) The 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty prohibits either 
        party from deploying ballistic missile early warning radars 
        except at locations along the periphery of its national 
        territory and oriented outward.
            (2) The 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty prohibits either 
        party from deploying an ABM system to defend its national 
        territory and from providing a base for any such nationwide 
        defense.
            (3) Large phased-array radars were recognized during 
        negotiation of the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty as the 
        critical long lead-time element of a nationwide defense against 
        ballistic missiles.
            (4) In 1983 the United States discovered the construction, 
        in the interior of the Soviet Union near the town of 
        Krasnoyarsk, of a large phased-array radar that was judged to 
        be for ballistic missile early warning and tracking.
            (5) The Krasnoyarsk radar was certified by the Reagan 
        Administration and previous sessions of Congress as an 
        unequivocal violation by the Soviet Union of the Anti-Ballistic 
        Missile Treaty.
            (6) Retired Soviet General Y.V. Votintsev, Director of the 
        Soviet National Air Defense Forces from 1967 to 1985, has 
        publicly stated that he was directed by the Chief of the Soviet 
        General staff to locate the large phased-array radar at 
        Krasnoyarsk despite the recognition that its location would be 
        a clear violation of the ABM Treaty.
            (7) General Votintsev has publicly stated that Marshal D.F. 
        Ustinov, Soviet Minister of Defense, threatened to relieve from 
        duty any Soviet officer who continued to object to the 
        construction of a large-phased array radar at Krasnoyarsk.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) the government of the Soviet Union intentionally 
        violated its legal obligations under the 1972 Anti-Ballistic 
        Missile Treaty in order to advance its national security 
        interests; and
            (2) the United States should remain vigilant in ensuring 
        compliance by Russia with its arms control obligations and 
        should, when pursuing future arms control agreements with 
        Russia, bear in mind violations of arms control obligations by 
        the Soviet Union.
SEC. 1228. REDUCTION OF UNITED STATES MILITARY FORCES IN EUROPE.

    (a) End Strength Reductions for Military Personnel in Europe.--
Notwithstanding section 1002(c)(1) of the National Defense 
Authorization Act, 1985 (22 U.S.C. 1928 note), but subject to 
subsection (d), for each of fiscal years 1996, 1997, 1998, and 1999, 
the Secretary of Defense shall reduce the end strength level of members 
of the Armed Forces of the United States assigned to permanent duty 
ashore in European member nations of the North Atlantic Treaty 
Organization (NATO) in accordance with subsection (b).
    (b) Reduction Formula.--
            (1) Application of formula.--For each percentage point by 
        which, as of the end of a fiscal year, the allied contribution 
        level determined under paragraph (2) is less than the allied 
        contribution goal specified in subsection (c), the Secretary of 
        Defense shall reduce the end strength level of members of the 
        Armed Forces of the United States assigned to permanent duty 
        ashore in European member nations of NATO by 1,000 for the next 
        fiscal year. The reduction shall be made from the end strength 
        level in effect, pursuant to section 1002(c)(1) of the National 
        Defense Authorization Act, 1985 (22 U.S.C. 1928 note), and 
        subsection (a) of this section (if applicable), for the fiscal 
        year in which the allied contribution level is less than the 
        goal specified in subsection (c).
            (2) Determination of allied contribution level.--To 
        determine the allied contribution level with respect to a 
        fiscal year, the Secretary of Defense shall calculate the 
        aggregate amount of nonpersonnel costs for United States 
        military installations in European member nations of NATO that 
        are assumed during that fiscal year by such nations, except 
        that the Secretary may consider only those cash and in-kind 
        contributions by such nations that replace expenditures that 
        would otherwise be made by the Secretary using funds 
        appropriated or otherwise made available in defense 
        appropriations Acts.
    (c) Annual Allied Contribution Goals.--
            (1) Goals.--In continuing efforts to enter into revised 
        host-nation agreements as described in the provisions of law 
        specified in paragraph (2), the President is urged to seek to 
        have European member nations of NATO assume an increased share 
        of the nonpersonnel costs of United States military 
        installations in those nations in accordance with the following 
        timetable:
                    (A) By September 30, 1996, 18.75 percent of such 
                costs should be assumed by those nations.
                    (B) By September 30, 1997, 37.5 percent of such 
                costs should be assumed by those nations.
                    (C) By September 30, 1998, 56.25 percent of such 
                costs should be assumed by those nations.
                    (D) By September 30, 1999, 75 percent of such costs 
                should be assumed by those nations.
            (2) Specified laws.--The provisions of law referred to in 
        paragraph (1) are--
                    (A) section 1301(e) of National Defense 
                Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1993 (Public Law 102-
                484; 106 Stat. 2545);
                    (B) section 1401(c) of the National Defense 
                Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1994 (Public Law 103-
                160; 107 Stat. 1824); and
                    (C) section 1304 of the National Defense 
                Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1995 (Public Law 103-
                337; 108 Stat. 2890),
    (d) Exceptions.--
            (1) Minimum end strength authority.--Notwithstanding 
        reductions required pursuant to subsection (a), the Secretary 
        of Defense may maintain an end strength of at least 25,000 
        members of the Armed Forces of the United States assigned to 
        permanent duty ashore in European member nations of NATO.
            (2) Waiver authority.--The President may waive operation of 
        this section if the President declares an emergency. The 
        President shall immediately inform Congress of any such waiver 
        and the reasons for the waiver.
    (e) Allocation of Force Reductions.--To the extent that there is a 
reduction in end strength level for any of the Armed Forces in European 
member nations of NATO in a fiscal year pursuant to subsection (a)--
            (1) half of the reduction shall be used to make a 
        corresponding reduction in the authorized end strength level 
        for active duty personnel for such Armed Force for that fiscal 
        year; and
            (2) half of the reduction shall be used to make a 
        corresponding increase in permanent assignments or deployments 
        of forces in the United States or other nations (other than 
        European member nations of NATO) for each such Armed Force for 
        that fiscal year, as determined by the Secretary of Defense.
    (f) Nonpersonnel Costs Defined.--For purposes of this section, the 
term ``nonpersonnel costs'', with respect to United States military 
installations in European member nations of NATO, means costs for those 
installations other than costs paid from military personnel accounts.
SEC. 1229. SENSE OF CONGRESS CONCERNING UNILATERAL IMPLEMENTATION OF 
              START II TREATY.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
            (1) the START II Treaty has not entered into force; and
            (2) the United States is nevertheless taking unilateral 
        steps to implement the reductions in strategic forces called 
        for by that treaty.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that the 
Secretary of Defense should not implement any reduction in strategic 
forces that is called for in the START II Treaty unless and until that 
treaty enters into force.
    (c) Definitions.--For purposes of this section, the term ``START II 
Treaty'' means the Treaty between the United States of America and the 
Russian Federation on Further Reduction and Limitation of Strategic 
Offensive Arms.
SEC. 1230. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS REGARDING THE CHEMICAL WEAPONS 
              CONVENTION.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
            (1) events such as the March 1995 terrorist release of a 
        chemical nerve agent in the Tokyo subway, the threatened use of 
        chemical weapons during the 1991 Persian Gulf War, and the 
        widespread use of chemical weapons during the Iran-Iraq War of 
        the 1980's are all potent reminders of the menace posed by 
        chemical weapons, of the fact that the threat of chemical 
        weapons is unappreciated and not sufficiently addressed, and of 
        the need to outlaw the development, production, and possession 
        of chemical weapons;
            (2) the Convention on the Prohibition of the Development, 
        Production, Stockpiling, and Use of Chemical Weapons and on 
        Their Destruction (hereafter in this section referred to as the 
        ``Convention'') would establish a comprehensive ban on chemical 
        weapons, and its negotiation has enjoyed strong bipartisan 
        congressional support, as well as the support of the last 6 
        administrations, both Republican and Democratic;
            (3) United States military authorities, including Chairman 
        of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General John Shalikashvili, have 
        stated that United States military forces will deter and 
        respond to chemical weapons threats with a robust chemical 
        defense and an overwhelming superior conventional response, as 
        demonstrated in the Persian Gulf War, and have testified in 
        support of the Convention's ratification;
            (4) the Congress in 1985 mandated the unilateral 
        destruction of the bulk of the chemical weapons stockpile of 
        the United States, and the Convention, which requires 
        participating states to destroy their chemical arsenals and 
        production facilities under international supervision, would 
        accelerate progress toward the disarmament of chemical weapons 
        in a majority of the states believed to harbor chemical weapons 
        capabilities, as this majority is among the Convention's 159 
        signatories;
            (5) the United States chemical industry was an important 
        partner during the negotiation of the Convention, assisted in 
        crafting a reasonable, effective verification protocol, 
        participated in both United States and international trials to 
        test provisions of the Convention during its negotiation, and 
        testified in support of the Convention's ratification;
            (6) the United States intelligence community has testified 
        that the Convention will provide new and important sources of 
        information, through regular data exchanges and routine and 
        challenge inspections, to improve the ability of the United 
        States to assess the chemical weapons status in countries of 
        concern;
            (7) the Convention will gradually isolate and automatically 
        penalize states that refuse to join by preventing them from 
        gaining access to dual-use chemicals and creating a basis for 
        monitoring illegal diversions of those materials;
            (8) the Convention has not entered into force for lack of 
        the requisite number of ratifications;
            (9) the United States played a leading role in drafting the 
        Convention, and, as a global leader, must remain at the helm of 
        this effort to deter further proliferation of chemical weapons 
        and provide the legal framework that will minimize the threat 
        posed by chemical weapons;
            (10) Russia has signed the Convention, but has not yet 
        ratified it;
            (11) there have been reports by Russian sources of 
        continued Russian production and testing of chemical weapons, 
        including a statement by a spokesman of the Russian Ministry of 
        Defense on December 5, 1994, that ``We cannot say that all 
        chemical weapons production and testing has stopped 
        altogether.''; and
            (12) the Convention will impose a legally binding 
        obligation on Russia and other nations that possess chemical 
        weapons to cease offensive chemical weapons activities and to 
        destroy their chemical weapons stockpiles and production 
        facilities.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress that--
            (1) the United States should signify its commitment to 
        reducing the threat posed by chemical weapons by promptly 
        joining the 28 other nations that have ratified the Convention;
            (2) both Houses of Congress should further demonstrate 
        United States preparedness to adopt the Convention by acting 
        expeditiously to pass the required implementing legislation as 
        soon as the Senate gives its advice and consent to the 
        ratification of the Convention;
            (3) both Houses of Congress should continue to lend their 
        full support for the indefinite future to programs that 
        maintain, as the Convention allows and monitors, United States 
        defensive preparedness against chemical weapons;
            (4) the United States must be prepared to exercise fully 
        its rights under the Convention, including the request of 
        challenge inspections when warranted, and to exercise 
        leadership in pursuing punitive measures against violators of 
        the Convention, when warranted;
            (5) the United States should strongly encourage full 
        implementation at the earliest possible date of the terms and 
        conditions of the United States - Russia bilateral chemical 
        weapons destruction agreement signed in 1990;
            (6) understanding that Western assistance would be helpful 
        to a successful Russian chemical weapons destruction program, 
        the United States should encourage Russia to ratify promptly 
        the Convention and implement a plan that will ensure full 
        compliance with the Convention, including the destruction of 
        chemical weapons stockpiles in accordance with the Convention's 
        time lines; and
            (7) the United States should seek to encourage other 
        nations to ratify promptly the Convention and to implement 
        faithfully all its terms and conditions.

            (1) October 1, 1995; or
            (2) the date of the enactment of this Act.
                    TITLE XXVIII--GENERAL PROVISIONS

 Subtitle A--Military Construction Program and Military Family Housing 
                                Changes

SEC. 2801. ALTERNATIVE MEANS OF ACQUIRING AND IMPROVING MILITARY FAMILY 
              HOUSING AND SUPPORTING FACILITIES FOR THE ARMED FORCES.

    (a) Findings and Purpose.--(1) Congress finds the following:
            (A) Adequate military family housing is essential to the 
        retention of well-trained and professional members of the Armed 
        Forces.
            (B) Current military family housing is in many 
        circumstances substandard, inadequately maintained, or 
        obsolete. Of the more than 375,000 military families living on 
        military installations, two-thirds of such families reside in 
        unsuitable quarters.
            (C) Traditional military construction techniques are 
        frequently lengthy and more expensive than commercial methods. 
        At current appropriation levels, modernization of military 
        family housing located on military installations could require 
        more than 30 years to accomplish.
            (D) A combination of private housing capital and commercial
