    SEC. 244. DESALTING TECHNOLOGIES.

        (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
                (1) Access to scarce fresh water is likely to be a cause of
            future military conflicts in the Middle East and has a direct
            impact on stability and security in the region.
                (2) The Middle East is an area of vital and strategic
            importance to the United States.
                (3) The United States has played a military role in the
            Middle East, most recently in the Persian Gulf War, and may
            likely be called upon again to deter aggression in the region.
                (4) United States troops have used desalting technologies
            to guarantee the availability of fresh water in past
            deployments in the Middle East.
                (5) Adequate, efficient, and cheap access to high-quality
            fresh water will be vital to maintaining the readiness and
            sustainability of United States troops, and those of our
            allies.
        (b) Sense of Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that, as
    improved access to fresh water will be an important factor in helping
    prevent future conflicts in the Middle East, the United States should,
    in cooperation with its allies, promote and invest in technologies to
    reduce the costs of converting saline water into fresh water.
        (c) Funding for Research and Development.--Of the amounts
    authorized to be appropriated by this title, the Secretary shall place
    greater emphasis on making funds available for research and development
    into efficient and economical processes and methods for converting
    saline water into fresh water.

    earlier date as the designated provider and the Secretary may agree
    upon, shall continue receiving services from the designated provider
    pursuant to the agreement entered into under section 722 unless the
    enrollee disenrolls from the designated provider. Except as provided in

    enrollee unless the disenrollment is agreed to by the Secretary and the
    designated provider.
        (d) Additional Enrollment Authority.--Other covered beneficiaries
    may also receive health care services from a designated provider,
    except that the designated provider may market such services to, and

                (1) do not have other primary health insurance coverage
            (other than medicare coverage) covering basic primary care and
            inpatient and outpatient services; or
                (2) are enrolled in the direct care system under the

    beneficiary who desires to enroll in the managed care program of a
    designated provider is also entitled to hospital insurance benefits
    under part A of title XVIII of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1395c
    et seq.), the covered beneficiary shall elect whether to receive health
    care services as an enrollee or under part A of title XVIII of the
    Social Security Act. The Secretary may disenroll an enrollee who
    subsequently violates the election made under this subsection and
    receives benefits under part A of title XVIII of the Social Security
    Act.
        (f) Information Regarding Eligible Covered Beneficiaries.--The
    Secretary shall provide, in a timely manner, a designated provider with
    an accurate list of covered beneficiaries within the marketing area of

    for health care that the private facility or provider provides to
    enrollees of a designated provider.
        (b) Authorized Adjustments.--The payment rules imposed under
    subsection (a) shall be subject to such modifications as the Secretary
    considers appropriate. The Secretary may authorize a lower rate than

    lower rate is agreed to by the designated provider and the private
    facility or health care provider.

    and a designated provider, the form of payment for services provided by
    a designated provider shall be full risk capitation. The capitation
    payments shall be negotiated and agreed upon by the Secretary and the
    designated provider. In addition to such other factors as the parties
    may agree to apply, the capitation payments shall be based on the
    utilization experience of enrollees and competitive market rates for
    equivalent health care services for a comparable population to such
    enrollees in the area in which the designated provider is located.
        (b) Limitation on Total Payments.--Total capitation payments to a
    designated provider shall not exceed an amount equal to the cost that
    would have been incurred by the Government if the enrollees had
    received their care through a military treatment facility, the TRICARE
    program, or the medicare program, as the case may be.
        (c) Establishment of Payment Rates on Annual Basis.--The Secretary
    and a designated provider shall establish capitation payments on an
    annual basis, subject to periodic review for actuarial soundness and to
    adjustment for any adverse or favorable selection reasonably
    anticipated to result from the design of the program.
        (d) Alternative Basis for Calculating Payments.--After September

        The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff shall consider, as part
    of the next periodic review of the missions, responsibilities, and
    force structure of the unified combatant commands under section 161(b)
    of title 10, United States Code, the following matters:
                (1) For each Area of Responsibility of the regional unified
            combatant commands--
                        (A) the foremost threats to United States or allied
                    security in the near- and long-term;
                        (B) the total area of ocean and total area of land
                    encompassed; and
                        (C) the number of countries and total population
                    encompassed.
                (2) Whether any one Area of Responsibility encompasses a
            disproportionately high or low share of threats, mission
            requirements, land or ocean area, number of countries, or
            population.
                (3) The other factors used to establish the current Areas
            of Responsibility.
                (4) Whether any of the factors addressed under paragraph
            (3) account for any apparent imbalances indicated in the
            response to paragraph (2).
                (5) Whether, in light of recent reductions in the overall
            force structure of the Armed Forces, the United States could
            better execute its warfighting plans with fewer unified
            combatant commands, including--
                        (A) a total of five or fewer commands, all of which
                    are regional;
                        (B) an eastward-oriented command, a westward-
                    oriented command, and a central command; or
                        (C) a purely functional command structure,
                    involving (for example) a first theater command, a
                    second theater command, a logistics command, a special
                    contingencies command, and a strategic command.
                (6) Whether any missions, staff, facilities, equipment,
            training programs, or other assets or activities of the unified
            combatant commands are redundant.
                (7) Whether warfighting requirements are adequate to
            justify the current functional commands.
                (8) Whether the exclusion of Russia from a specific Area of
            Responsibility presents any difficulties for the unified
            combatant commands with respect to contingency planning for
            that area and its periphery.
                (9) Whether the current geographic boundary between the
            Central Command and the European Command through the Middle
            East could create command conflicts in the context of fighting
            a major regional conflict in the Middle East.

        The Director of the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization shall
    take such actions as are necessary in connection with the establishment
    of the National Missile Defense Joint Program Office to ensure that the
    establishment of that office does not make it necessary for a Federal
    Government contractor to reduce the number of persons employed by the
    contractor for supporting the national missile defense development
    program at any particular location outside the National Capital Region
    (as defined in section 2674(f)(2) of title 10, United States Code).

                Subtitle B--National Imagery and Mapping Agency

    SEC. 911. SHORT TITLE.

        This subtitle may be cited as the ``National Imagery and Mapping
    Agency Act of 1996''.

    SEC. 912. FINDINGS.

        Congress makes the following findings:
                (1) There is a need within the Department of Defense and
            the Intelligence Community of the United States to provide a
            single agency focus for the growing number and diverse types of
            customers for imagery and geospatial information resources
            within the Government, to ensure visibility and accountability
            for those resources, and to harness, leverage, and focus rapid
            technological developments to serve the imagery, imagery
            intelligence, and geospatial information customers.
                (2) There is a need for a single Government agency to
            solicit and advocate the needs of that growing and diverse pool
            of customers.
                (3) A single combat support agency dedicated to imagery,
            imagery intelligence, and geospatial information could act as a
            focal point for support of all imagery intelligence and
            geospatial information customers, including customers in the
            Department of Defense, the Intelligence Community, and related
            agencies outside of the Department of Defense.
                (4) Such an agency would best serve the needs of the
            imagery, imagery intelligence, and geospatial information
            customers if it were organized--
                        (A) to carry out its mission responsibilities under
                    the authority, direction, and control of the Secretary
                    of Defense, with the advice of the Chairman of the
                    Joint Chiefs of Staff; and
                        (B) to carry out its responsibilities to national
                    intelligence customers in accordance with policies and
                    priorities established by the Director of Central
                    Intelligence.

        Section 1016 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal
    Year 1996 (Public Law 104-106; 110 Stat. 425) is repealed.

    SEC. 1024. CONTRACT OPTIONS FOR LMSR VESSELS.

        (a) Findings.--Congress reaffirms the findings set forth in section
    1013(a) of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1996
    (Public Law 104-106; 110 Stat. 422), and makes the following
    modifications and supplemental findings:
                (1) Since the findings set forth in section 1013(a) of such
            Act were originally formulated, the Secretary of the Navy has
            exercised options for the acquisition of two of the six
            additional large, medium-speed, roll-on/roll-off (LMSR) vessels
            that may be acquired by exercise of options provided for under
            contracts covering the acquisition of a total of 17 LMSR
            vessels.
                (2) Therefore, under those contracts, the Secretary has
            placed orders for the acquisition of 13 LMSR vessels and has
            remaining options for the acquisition of four more LMSR
            vessels, all of which would be new construction vessels.
                (3) The remaining options allow the Secretary to place
            orders for one vessel to be constructed at each of two
            shipyards for award before December 31, 1996, and December 31,
            1997, respectively.
        (b) Sense of Congress.--Congress also reaffirms its declaration of
    the sense of Congress, as set forth in section 1013(b) of Public Law
    104-106, 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 report entitled ``Mobility
    Requirements Study Bottom-Up Review Update'', submitted by the
    Secretary of Defense to Congress in April 1995), rather than only 17
    such vessels (which is the number of vessels under contract as of April
    1996).
        (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)(1) (Department of

    exercise not earlier than fiscal year 1998, subject to the availability
    of funds authorized and appropriated for such purpose. Nothing in this

    from competing the award of the two options between the two shipyards
    holding new construction contracts referred to in subsection (a)(1).

    Government of Thailand in order for the ship to be transferred to the
    United States Shipbuilding Museum in Quincy, Massachusetts.

               Subtitle D--Matters Relating to Foreign Countries

    SEC. 1041. AGREEMENTS FOR EXCHANGE OF DEFENSE PERSONNEL BETWEEN THE

    routinely available from commercial sources.
        (b) Declassification and Release.--No department or agency of the
    Federal Government may declassify or otherwise release satellite

    is no more detailed or precise than satellite imagery of the country or
    geographic area concerned that is routinely available from commercial
    sources.

    SEC. 1045. DEFENSE BURDENSHARING.

        (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
                (1) The United States continues to spend billions of
            dollars to promote regional security and to make preparations
            for regional contingencies.
                (2) United States defense expenditures promote United
            States national security interests; however, they also
            significantly contribute to the defense of our allies.
                (3) In 1993, the gross domestic product of the United
            States equaled $6,300,000,000,000, while the gross domestic
            product of other NATO member countries totaled
            $7,200,000,000,000.
                (4) Over the course of 1993, the United States spent 4.7
            percent of its gross domestic product on defense, while other
            NATO members collectively spent 2.5 percent of their gross
            domestic product on defense.
                (5) In addition to military spending, foreign assistance
            plays a vital role in the establishment and maintenance of
            stability in other nations and in implementing the United
            States national security strategy.
                (6) This assistance has often prevented the outbreak of
            conflicts which otherwise would have required costly military
            interventions by the United States and our allies.
                (7) From 1990-1993, the United States spent $59,000,000,000
            in foreign assistance, a sum which represents an amount greater
            than any other nation in the world.
                (8) In 1995, the United States spent over $10,000,000,000
            to promote European security, while European NATO nations only
            contributed $2,000,000,000 toward this effort.
                (9) With a smaller gross domestic product and a larger
            defense budget than its European NATO allies, the United States
            shoulders an unfair share of the burden of the common defense.
                (10) Japan now pays over 75 percent of the nonpersonnel
            costs incurred by United States military forces permanently
            assigned there, while our European allies pay for less than 25
            percent of these same costs. Japan signed a new Special
            Measures Agreement this year which will increase Japan's
            contribution toward the cost of stationing United States troops
            in Japan by approximately $30,000,000 a year over the next five
            years.
                (11) These increased contributions help to rectify the
            imbalance in the burden shouldered by the United States for the
            common defense.
                (12) The relative share of the burden of the common defense
            still falls too heavily on the United States, and our allies
            should dedicate more of their own resources to defending
            themselves.
        (b) Efforts To Increase Allied Burdensharing.--The President shall
    seek to have each nation that has cooperative military relations with
    the United States (including security agreements, basing arrangements,
    or mutual participation in multinational military organizations or
    operations) take one or more of the following actions:
                (1) Increase its financial contributions to the payment of
            the nonpersonnel costs incurred by the United States Government
            for stationing United States military personnel in that nation,
            with a goal of achieving the following percentages of such
            costs:
                        (A) By September 30, 1997, 37.5 percent.
                        (B) By September 30, 1998, 50 percent.
                        (C) By September 30, 1999, 62.5 percent.
                        (D) By September 30, 2000, 75 percent.
            An increase in financial contributions by any nation under this
            paragraph may include the elimination of taxes, fees, or other
            charges levied on United States military personnel, equipment,
            or facilities stationed in that nation.
                (2) Increase its annual budgetary outlays for national
            defense as a percentage of its gross domestic product by 10
            percent or at least to a level commensurate to that of the
            United States by September 30, 1997.
                (3) Increase its annual budgetary outlays for foreign
            assistance (to promote democratization, economic stabilization,
            transparency arrangements, defense economic conversion, respect
            for the rule of law, and internationally recognized human
            rights) by 10 percent or at least to a level commensurate to
            that of the United States by September 30, 1997.
                (4) Increase the amount of military assets (including
            personnel, equipment, logistics, support and other resources)
            that it contributes, or would be prepared to contribute, to
            multinational military activities worldwide.
        (c) Authorities to Encourage Actions by United States Allies.--In
    seeking the actions described in subsection (b) with respect to any
    nation, or in response to a failure by any nation to undertake one or
    more of such actions, the President may take any of the following
    measures:

    SEC. 1046. SENSE OF THE SENATE CONCERNING EXPORT CONTROLS.

        (a) Findings.--The Senate makes the following findings:
                (1) Export controls are a part of a comprehensive response
            to national security threats. United States exports should be
            restricted where those threats exist to national security,
            nonproliferation, and foreign policy interests of the United
            States.
                (2) The export of certain commodities and technology may
            adversely affect the national security and foreign policy of
            the United States by making a significant contribution to the
            military potential of individual countries or by disseminating
            the capability to design, develop, test, produce, stockpile, or
            use weapons of mass destruction, missile delivery systems, and
            other significant military capabilities. Therefore, the
            administration of export controls should emphasize the control
            of these exports.
                (3) The acquisition of sensitive commodities and
            technologies by those countries and end users whose actions or
            policies run counter to United States national security or
            foreign policy interests may enhance the military capabilities
            of those countries, particularly their ability to design,
            develop, test, produce, stockpile, use, and deliver nuclear,
            chemical, and biological weapons, missile delivery systems, and
            other significant military capabilities. This enhancement
            threatens the security of the United States and its allies. The
            availability to countries and end users of items that
            contribute to military capabilities or the proliferation of
            weapons of mass destruction is a fundamental concern of the
            United States and should be eliminated through deterrence,
            negotiations, and other appropriate means whenever possible.
                (4) The national security of the United States depends not
            only on wise foreign policies and a strong defense, but also a
            vibrant national economy. To be truly effective, export
            controls should be applied uniformly by all suppliers.
                (5) On November 5, 1995, President William J. Clinton
            extended Executive Order No. 12938 regarding ``Weapons of Mass
            Destruction'', and ``declared a national emergency with respect
            to the unusual and extraordinary threat to the national
            security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States
            posed by the proliferation of nuclear, biological, and chemical
            weapons and the means of delivering such weapons''.
                (6) A successor regime to COCOM (the Coordinating
            Commission on Multilateral Controls) has not been established.
            Currently, each nation is determining independently which dual-
            use military items, if any, will be controlled for export.
                (7) The United States should play a leading role in
            promoting transparency and responsibility with regard to the
            transfers of sensitive dual-use goods and technologies.
        (b) Sense of Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that--
                (1) establishing an international export control regime,
            empowered to control exports of dual-use technology, is
            critically important and should become a top priority for the
            United States; and
                (2) the United States should strongly encourage its allies
            and friends to--
                        (A) adopt a commodity control list which governs
                    the same or similar items as are controlled by the
                    United States Commodity Control list;
                        (B) strengthen enforcement activities; and
                        (C) explore the use of unilateral export controls
                    where the possibility exists that an export could
                    contribute to proliferation.

            deployments, prepositioning of equipment, mobility, and
            headquarter locations.
                (4) The relationship between NATO enlargement and
            transatlantic stability and security.
                (5) The state of military preparedness and interoperability
            of Central and Eastern European nations as it relates to the
            responsibilities of NATO membership and additional security

            NATO enlargement.
                (6) The state of democracy and free market development as
            it affects the preparedness of Central and Eastern European

            rights, and parliamentary oversight.
                (7) The state of relations between prospective NATO members
            and their neighbors, steps taken by prospective members to
            reduce tensions, and mechanisms for the peaceful resolution of
            border disputes.
                (8) The commitment of prospective NATO members to the

    SEC. 1070. MICHAEL O'CALLAGHAN FEDERAL HOSPITAL, LAS VEGAS, NEVADA.

        (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
                (1) Michael O'Callaghan, former Governor of the State of
            Nevada, served in three branches of the Armed Forces of the
            United States, namely, the Army, the Air Force, and the Marine
            Corps.
                (2) At 16 years of age, Michael O'Callaghan enlisted in the
            United States Marine Corps to serve during the end of World War
            II.
                (3) During the Korean conflict, Michael O'Callaghan served
            successively in the Air Force and the Army and, during such
            service, suffered wounds in combat that necessitated the
            amputation of his left leg.
                (4) Michael O'Callaghan was awarded the Silver Star, the
            Bronze Star with Valor Device, and the Purple Heart for his
            military service.
                (5) In 1963, Michael O'Callaghan became the first director
            of the Health and Welfare Department of the State of Nevada.
                (6) In 1970, Michael O'Callaghan became Governor of the
            State of Nevada and served in that position through 1978,
            making him one of only five two-term governors in the history
            of the State of Nevada.
                (7) In 1982, Michael O'Callaghan received the Air Force
            Exceptional Service Award.
                (8) It is appropriate to name the Nellis Federal Hospital,
            Las Vegas, Nevada, a hospital operated jointly by the
            Department of Defense, through Nellis Air Force Base, and the
            Department of Veterans Affairs, through the Las Vegas Veterans
            Affairs Outpatient Clinic, after Michael O'Callaghan, a man who
            (A) has served his country with honor in three branches of the
            Armed Forces, (B) as a disabled veteran knows personally the

    SEC. 1071. NAMING OF BUILDING AT THE UNIFORMED SERVICES UNIVERSITY OF
                  THE HEALTH SCIENCES.

    Sciences as the ``David Packard Building''.

    SEC. 1072. SENSE OF THE SENATE REGARDING THE UNITED STATES-JAPAN
                  SEMICONDUCTOR TRADE AGREEMENT.

        (a) Findings.--The Senate makes the following findings:
                (1) The United States and Japan share a long and important
            bilateral relationship which serves as an anchor of peace and
            stability in the Asia Pacific region, an alliance which was
            reaffirmed at the recent summit meeting between President
            Clinton and Prime Minister Hashimoto in Tokyo.
                (2) The Japanese economy has experienced difficulty over
            the past few years, demonstrating that it is no longer possible
            for Japan, the world's second largest economy, to use exports
            as the sole engine of economic growth, but that the Government
            of Japan must promote deregulation of its domestic economy in
            order to increase economic growth.
                (3) Deregulation of the Japanese economy requires
            government attention to the removal of barriers to imports of
            manufactured goods.
                (4) The United States-Japan Semiconductor Trade Agreement
            has begun the process of deregulation in the semiconductor
            sector and is opening the Japanese market to competitive
            foreign products.
                (5) The United States-Japan Semiconductor Trade Agreement
            has put in place both government-to-government and industry-to-
            industry mechanisms which have played a vital role in allowing
            cooperation to replace conflict in this important high
            technology sector.
                (6) The mechanisms include joint calculation of foreign
            market share, deterrence of dumping, and promotion of
            industrial cooperation in the design of foreign semiconductor
            devices.
                (7) Because of these actions under the United States-Japan
            Semiconductor Trade Agreement, the United States and Japan
            today enjoy trade in semiconductors which is mutually
            beneficial, harmonious, and free from the friction that once
            characterized the semiconductor industry.
                (8) Because of structural barriers in Japan, a gap still
            remains between the share of the world market for semiconductor
            products outside Japan that the United States and other foreign
            semiconductor sources are able to capture through
            competitiveness and the share of the Japanese semiconductor
            market that the United States and those other sources are able
            to capture through competitiveness, and that gap is consistent
            across the full range of semiconductor products as well as a
            full range of end-use applications.
                (9) The competitiveness and health of the United States
            semiconductor industry is of critical importance to the overall
            economic well-being and high technology defense capabilities of
            the United States.
                (10) The economic interests of both the United States and
            Japan are best served by well functioning, open markets,
            deterrence of dumping, and continuing good cooperative
            relationships in all sectors, including semiconductors.
                (11) A strong and healthy and military and political
            alliance between the United States and Japan requires
            continuation of the industrial and economic cooperation
            promoted by the United States-Japan Semiconductor Trade
            Agreement.
                (12) President Clinton has called on the Government of
            Japan to agree to a continuation of a United States-Japan
            Semiconductor Trade Agreement beyond the current agreement's
            expiration on July 31, 1996.
                (13) The Government of Japan has opposed any continuation
            of a government-to-government agreement to promote cooperation
            in United States-Japan semiconductor trade.
        (b) Sense of Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that--
                (1) it is regrettable that the Government of Japan has
            refused to consider continuation of a government-to-government
            agreement to ensure that cooperation continues in the
            semiconductor sector beyond the expiration of the Semiconductor
            Trade Agreement on July 31, 1996; and
                (2) the President should take all necessary and appropriate
            actions to ensure the continuation of a government-to-
            government United States-Japan Semiconductor Trade Agreement
            before the current agreement expires on that date.
        (c) Definition.--As used in this section, the term ``United States-
    Japan Semiconductor Trade Agreement'' refers to the agreement between
    the United States and Japan concerning trade in semiconductor products,
    with arrangement, done by exchange of letters at Washington on June 11,
    1991.

    SEC. 1077. SENSE OF THE SENATE ON DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE SHARING OF
                  EXPERIENCES UNDER MILITARY YOUTH PROGRAMS.

        (a) Findings.--The Senate makes the following findings:
                (1) Programs of the Department of Defense for youth who are
            dependents of members of the Armed Forces have not received the
            same level of attention and resources as have child care
            programs of the Department since the passage of the Military
            Child Care Act of 1989 (title XV of Public Law 101-189; 10
            U.S.C. 113 note).
                (2) Older children deserve as much attention to their
            developmental needs as do younger children.
                (3) The Department has started to direct more attention to
            programs for youths who are dependents of members of the Armed
            Forces by funding the implementation of 20 model community
            programs to address the needs of such youths.
                (4) The lessons learned from such programs could apply to
            civilian youth programs as well.
        (b) Sense of Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that--
                (1) the Department of Defense, Federal, State, and local
            agencies, and businesses and communities involved in conducting
            youth programs could benefit from the development of
            partnerships to foster an exchange of ideas, information, and
            materials relating to such programs and to encourage closer
            relationships between military installations and the
            communities that support them;
                (2) such partnerships could benefit all families by helping
            the providers of services for youths exchange ideas about
            innovative ways to address barriers to the effective provision
            of such services; and
                (3) there are many ways that such partnerships could be
            developed, including--
                        (A) cooperation between the Department and Federal
                    and State educational agencies in exploring the use of
                    public school facilities for child care programs and
                    youth programs that are mutually beneficial to the
                    Department and civilian communities and complement
                    programs of the Department carried out at its
                    facilities; and
                        (B) improving youth programs that enable
                    adolescents to relate to new peer groups when families
                    of members of the Armed Forces are relocated.
        (c) Report.--Not later than June 30, 1997, the Secretary of Defense
    shall submit to Congress a report on the status of any initiatives
    undertaken this section, including recommendations for additional ways
    to improve the youth programs of the Department of Defense and to
    improve such programs so as to benefit communities in the vicinity of
    military installations.

    SEC. 1078. SENSE OF THE SENATE ON DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE SHARING OF
                  EXPERIENCES WITH MILITARY CHILD CARE.

        (a) Findings.--The Senate makes the following findings:
                (1) The Department of Defense should be congratulated on
            the successful implementation of the Military Child Care Act of
            1989 (title XV of Public Law 101-189; 10 U.S.C. 113 note).
                (2) The actions taken by the Department as a result of that
            Act have dramatically improved the availability, affordability,
            quality, and consistency of the child care services provided to
            members of the Armed Forces.
                (3) Child care is important to the readiness of members of
            the Armed Forces because single parents and couples in military
            service must have access to affordable child care of good
            quality if they are to perform their jobs and respond
            effectively to long work hours or deployments.
                (4) Child care is important to the retention of members of
            the Armed Forces in military service because the
            dissatisfaction of the families of such members with military
            life is a primary reason for the departure of such members from
            military service.
        (b) Sense of Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that--
                (1) the civilian and military child care communities,
            Federal, State, and local agencies, and businesses and
            communities involved in the provision of child care services
            could benefit from the development of partnerships to foster an
            exchange of ideas, information, and materials relating to their
            experiences with the provision of such services and to
            encourage closer relationships between military installations
            and the communities that support them;
                (2) such partnerships would be beneficial to all families
            by helping providers of child care services exchange ideas
            about innovative ways to address barriers to the effective
            provision of such services; and
                (3) there are many ways that these partnerships can be
            developed, including--
                        (A) cooperation between the directors and
                    curriculum specialists of military child development
                    centers and civilian child development centers in
                    assisting such centers in the accreditation process;
                        (B) use of family support staff to conduct parent
                    and family workshops for new parents and parents with
                    young children in family housing on military
                    installations and in communities in the vicinity of
                    such installations;
                        (C) internships in Department of Defense child care
                    programs for civilian child care providers to broaden
                    the base of good-quality child care services in
                    communities in the vicinity of military installations;
                    and
                        (D) attendance by civilian child care providers at
                    Department child-care training classes on a space-
                    available basis.
        (c) Report.--Not later than June 30, 1997, the Secretary of Defense
    shall submit to Congress a report on the status of any initiatives
    undertaken this section, including recommendations for additional ways
    to improve the child care programs of the Department of Defense and to
    improve such programs so as to benefit civilian child care providers in
    communities in the vicinity of military installations.

    Act may be fined an amount not to exceed the amount of a fine for a
    like or similar offense under the criminal or civil law of the State,
    territory, possession, or district where the military installation is
    located, or imprisoned for not more than thirty days, or both.''.

              Subtitle G--Review of Armed Forces Force Structures

    SEC. 1091. SHORT TITLE.

        This subtitle may be cited as the ``Armed Forces Force Structures
    Review Act of 1996''.

    SEC. 1092. FINDINGS.

        Congress makes the following findings:
                (1) Since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, the
            United States has conducted two substantial assessments of the
            force structure of the Armed Forces necessary to meet United
            States defense requirements.
                (2) The assessment by the Bush Administration (known as the
            ``Base Force'' assessment) and the assessment by the Clinton
            Administration (known as the ``Bottom-Up Review'') were
            intended to reassess the force structure of the Armed Forces in
            light of the changing realities of the post-Cold War world.
                (3) Both assessments served an important purpose in
            focusing attention on the need to reevaluate the military
            posture of the United States, but the pace of global change
            necessitates a new, comprehensive assessment of the defense
            strategy of the United States and the force structure of the
            Armed Forces required to meet the threats to the United States
            in the 21st century.
                (4) The Bottom-Up Review has been criticized on several
            points, including--
                        (A) the assumptions underlying the strategy of
                    planning to fight and win two nearly simultaneous major
                    regional conflicts;
                        (B) the force levels recommended to carry out that
                    strategy; and
                        (C) the funding proposed for such recommended force
                    levels.
                (5) In response to the recommendations of the Commission on
            Roles and Missions of the Armed Forces, the Secretary of
            Defense endorsed the concept of conducting a quadrennial review
            of the defense program at the beginning of each newly elected
            Presidential administration, and the Secretary intends to
            complete the first such review in 1997.
                (6) The review is to involve a comprehensive examination of
            defense strategy, the force structure of the active, guard, and
            reserve components, force modernization plans, infrastructure,
            and other elements of the defense program and policies in order
            to determine and express the defense strategy of the United
            States and to establish a revised defense program through the
            year 2005.
                (7) In order to ensure that the force structure of the
            Armed Forces is adequate to meet the challenges to the national
            security interests of the United States in the 21st century, to
            assist the Secretary of Defense in conducting the review

    consultation with the Secretary of the Navy, the Secretary of the Air
    Force, and the Director of the Office of Personnel Management, may
    establish a pilot program under which Federal retirement benefits are
    provided in accordance with this section to persons who convert from
    Federal employment in the Department of the Navy or the Department of
    the Air Force to employment by a Department of Defense contractor in
    connection with the privatization of the performance of functions at
    selected military installations being closed under the base closure and
    realignment process.
        (2) The Secretary of Defense shall select the installations to be
    covered by a pilot program under this section.
        (b) Eligible Transferred Employees.--(1) A person is a transferred
    employee eligible for benefits under this section if the person is a
    former employee of the Department of Defense (other than a temporary
    employee) who--
                (A) while employed by the Department of Defense in a
            function recommended to be privatized as part of the closure
            and realignment of military installations pursuant to section
            2903(e) of the Defense Base Closure and Realignment Act of 1990
            (title XXIX of Public Law 101-510; 10 U.S.C. 2687 note) and
            while covered under the Civil Service Retirement System,
            separated from Federal service after being notified that the
            employee would be separated in a reduction-in-force resulting
            from conversion from performance of a function by Department of
            Defense employees at that military installation to performance
            of that function by a defense contractor at that installation
            or in the vicinity of that installation;
                (B) is employed by the defense contractor within 60 days
            following such separation to perform substantially the same
            function performed before the separation;
                (C) remains employed by the defense contractor (or a
            successor defense contractor) or subcontractor of the defense
            contractor (or successor defense contractor) until attaining
            early deferred retirement age (unless the employment is sooner
    involuntarily terminated for reasons other than performance or conduct
    of the employee);
                (D) at the time separated from Federal service, was not
            eligible for an immediate annuity under the Civil Service
            Retirement System; and
                (E) does not withdraw retirement contributions under
            section 8342 of title 5, United States Code.
        (2) A person who, under paragraph (1), would otherwise be eligible
    for an early deferred annuity under this section shall not be eligible
    for such benefits if the person received separation pay or severance
    pay due to a separation described in subparagraph (A) of that paragraph
    unless the person repays the full amount of such pay with interest
    (computed at a rate determined appropriate by the Director of the
    Office of Personnel Management) to the Department of Defense before
    attaining early deferred retirement age.
        (c) Retirement Benefits of Transferred Employees.--In the case of a
    transferred employee covered by a pilot program under this section,
    payment of a deferred annuity for which the transferred employee is
    eligible under section 8338(a) of title 5, United States Code, shall
    commence on the first day of the first month that begins after the date
    on which the transferred employee attains early deferred retirement
    age, notwithstanding the age requirement under that section.
        (d) Computation of Average Pay.--(1)(A) This paragraph applies to a
    transferred employee who was employed in a position classified under
    the General Schedule immediately before the employee's covered
    separation from Federal service.
        (B) Subject to subparagraph (C), for purposes of computing the
    deferred annuity for a transferred employee referred to in subparagraph
    (A), the average pay of the transferred employee, computed under
    section 8331(4) of title 5, United States Code, as of the date of the
    employee's covered separation from Federal service, shall be adjusted
    at the same time and by the same percentage that rates of basic pay are
    increased under section 5303 of such title during the period beginning
    on that date and ending on the date on which the transferred employee
    attains early deferred retirement age.
        (C) The average pay of a transferred employee, as adjusted under
    subparagraph (B), may not exceed the amount to which an annuity of the
    transferred employee could be increased under section 8340 of title 5,
    United States Code, in accordance with the limitation in subsection
    (g)(1) of such section (relating to maximum pay, final pay, or average
    pay).
        (2)(A) This paragraph applies to a transferred employee who was a
    prevailing rate employee (as defined under section 5342(2) of title 5,
    United States Code) immediately before the employee's covered
    separation from Federal service.
        (B) For purposes of computing the deferred annuity for a
    transferred employee referred to in subparagraph (A), the average pay
    of the transferred employee, computed under section 8331(4) of title 5,
    United States Code, as of the date of the employee's covered separation
    from Federal service, shall be adjusted at the same time and by the
    same percentage that pay rates for positions that are in the same area
    as, and are comparable to, the last position the transferred employee
    held as a prevailing rate employee, are increased under section 5343(a)
    of such title during the period beginning on that date and ending on
    the date on which the transferred employee attains early deferred
    retirement age.
        (e) Payment of Unfunded Liability.--(1) The military department
    concerned shall be liable for that portion of any estimated increase in
    the unfunded liability of the Civil Service Retirement and Disability
    Fund established under section 8348 of title 5, United States Code,
    which is attributable to any benefits payable from such Fund to a
    transferred employee, and any survivor of a transferred employee, when
    the increase results from--
                (A) an increase in the average pay of the transferred
            employee under subsection (d) upon which such benefits are
            computed; and
                (B) the commencement of an early deferred annuity in
            accordance with this section before the attainment of 62 years
            of age by the transferred employee.
        (2) The estimated increase in the unfunded liability for each
    department referred to in paragraph (1), shall be determined by the
    Director of the Office of Personnel Management. In making the
    determination, the Director shall consider any savings to the Fund as a
    result of the program established under this section. The Secretary of
    the military department concerned shall pay the amount so determined to
    the Director in 10 equal annual installments with interest computed at
    the rate used in the most recent valuation of the Civil Service
    Retirement System, with the first payment thereof due at the end of the
    fiscal year in which an increase in average pay under subsection (d)
    becomes effective.
        (f) Contractor Service Not Creditable.--Service performed by a
    transferred employee for a defense contractor after the employee's
    covered separation from Federal service is not creditable service for
    purposes of subchapter III of chapter 83 of title 5, United States
    Code.
        (g) Receipt of Benefits While Employed by a Defense Contractor.--A
    transferred employee may commence receipt of an early deferred annuity
    in accordance with this section while continuing to work for a defense
    contractor.
        (h) Lump-Sum Credit Payment.--If a transferred employee dies before
    attaining early deferred retirement age, such employee shall be treated
    as a former employee who dies not retired for purposes of payment of
    the lump-sum credit under section 8342(d) of title 5, United States
    Code.
        (i) Continued Federal Health Benefits Coverage.--Notwithstanding
    section 5905a(e)(1)(A) of title 5, United States Code, the continued
    coverage of a transferred employee for health benefits under chapter 89
    of such title by reason of the application of section 8905a of such
    title to such employee shall terminate 90 days after the date of the
    employee's covered separation from Federal employment. For the purposes
    of the preceding sentence, a person who, except for subsection (b)(2),
    would be a transferred employee shall be considered a transferred
    employee.
        (j) Report by GAO.--The Comptroller General of the United States
    shall conduct a study of each pilot program, if any, established under
    this section and submit a report on the pilot program to Congress not
    later than two years after the date on which the program is
    established. The report shall contain the following:
                (1) A review and evaluation of the program, including--
                        (A) an evaluation of the success of the
                    privatization outcomes of the program;
                        (B) a comparison and evaluation of such
                    privatization outcomes with the privatization outcomes
                    with respect to facilities at other military
                    installations closed or realigned under the base
                    closure laws;
                        (C) an evaluation of the impact of the program on
                    the Federal workforce and whether the program results
                    in the maintenance of a skilled workforce for defense
                    contractors at an acceptable cost to the military
                    department concerned; and
                        (D) an assessment of the extent to which the pilot
                    program is a cost-effective means of facilitating
                    privatization of the performance of Federal activities.
                (2) Recommendations relating to the expansion of the
            program to other installations and employees.

            TITLE XIII--DEFENSE AGAINST WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION

    SEC. 1301. SHORT TITLE.

        This title may be cited as the ``Defense Against Weapons of Mass
    Destruction Act of 1996''.

    SEC. 1302. FINDINGS.

        Congress makes the following findings:
                (1) Weapons of mass destruction and related materials and
            technologies are increasingly available from worldwide sources.
            Technical information relating to such weapons is readily
            available on the Internet, and raw materials for chemical,
            biological, and radiological weapons are widely available for
            legitimate commercial purposes.
                (2) The former Soviet Union produced and maintained a vast
            array of nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons of mass
            destruction.
                (3) Many of the states of the former Soviet Union retain
            the facilities, materials, and technologies capable of
            producing additional quantities of weapons of mass destruction.
                (4) The disintegration of the former Soviet Union was
            accompanied by disruptions of command and control systems,
            deficiencies in accountability for weapons, weapons-related
            materials and technologies, economic hardships, and significant
            gaps in border control among the states of the former Soviet
            Union. The problems of organized crime and corruption in the
            states of the former Soviet Union increase the potential for
            proliferation of nuclear, radiological, biological, and
            chemical weapons and related materials.
                (5) The conditions described in paragraph (4) have
            substantially increased the ability of potentially hostile
            nations, terrorist groups, and individuals to acquire weapons
            of mass destruction and related materials and technologies from
            within the states of the former Soviet Union and from
            unemployed scientists who worked on those programs.
                (6) As a result of such conditions, the capability of
            potentially hostile nations and terrorist groups to acquire
            nuclear, radiological, biological, and chemical weapons is
            greater than any time in history.
                (7) The President has identified North Korea, Iraq, Iran,
            and Libya as hostile states which already possess some weapons
            of mass destruction and are developing others.
                (8) The acquisition or the development and use of weapons
            of mass destruction is well within the capability of many
            extremist and terrorist movements, acting independently or as
            proxies for foreign states.
                (9) Foreign states can transfer weapons to or otherwise aid
            extremist and terrorist movements indirectly and with plausible
            deniability.
                (10) Terrorist groups have already conducted chemical
            attacks against civilian targets in the United States and
            Japan, and a radiological attack in Russia.
                (11) The potential for the national security of the United
            States to be threatened by nuclear, radiological, chemical, or
            biological terrorism must be taken as seriously as the risk of
            an attack by long-range ballistic missiles carrying nuclear
            weapons.
                (12) There is a significant and growing threat of attack by
            weapons of mass destruction on targets that are not military
            targets in the usual sense of the term.
                (13) Concomitantly, the threat posed to the citizens of the
            United States by nuclear, radiological, biological, and
            chemical weapons delivered by unconventional means is
            significant and growing.
                (14) Mass terror may result from terrorist incidents
            involving nuclear, radiological, biological, or chemical
            materials, even if such materials are not configured as
            military weapons.
                (15) Facilities required for production of radiological,
            biological, and chemical weapons are much smaller and harder to
            detect than nuclear weapons facilities, and biological, and
            chemical weapons can be deployed by alternative delivery means
            that are much harder to detect than long-range ballistic
            missiles.
                (16) Such delivery systems have no assignment of
            responsibility, unlike ballistic missiles, for which a launch
            location would be unambiguously known.
                (17) Covert or unconventional means of delivery of nuclear,
            radiological, biological, and chemical weapons, which might be
            preferable to foreign states and nonstate organizations,
            include cargo ships, passenger aircraft, commercial and private
            vehicles and vessels, and commercial cargo shipments routed
            through multiple destinations.
                (18) Traditional arms control efforts assume large state
            efforts with detectable manufacturing programs and weapons
            production programs, but are ineffective in monitoring and
            controlling smaller, though potentially more dangerous,
            unconventional proliferation efforts.
                (19) Conventional counterproliferation efforts would do
            little to detect or prevent the rapid development of a
            capability to suddenly manufacture several hundred chemical or
            biological weapons with nothing but commercial supplies and
            equipment.
                (20) The United States lacks adequate planning and
            countermeasures to address the threat of nuclear, radiological,
            biological, and chemical terrorism.
                (21) The Department of Energy has established a Nuclear
            Emergency Response Team which is available in case of nuclear
            or radiological emergencies, but no comparable units exist to
            deal with emergencies involving biological, or chemical weapons
            or related materials.
                (22) State and local emergency response personnel are not
            adequately prepared or trained for incidents involving nuclear,
            radiological, biological, or chemical materials.
                (23) Exercises of the Federal, State, and local response to
            nuclear, radiological, biological, or chemical terrorism have
            revealed serious deficiencies in preparedness and severe
            problems of coordination.
                (24) The development of, and allocation of responsibilities
            for, effective countermeasures to nuclear, radiological,
            biological, or chemical terrorism in the United States requires
            well-coordinated participation of many Federal agencies, and
            careful planning by the Federal Government and State and local
            governments.
                (25) Training and exercises can significantly improve the
            preparedness of State and local emergency response personnel
            for emergencies involving nuclear, radiological, biological, or
            chemical weapons or related materials.
                (26) Sharing of the expertise and capabilities of the
            Department of Defense, which traditionally has provided
            assistance to Federal, State, and local officials in
            neutralizing, dismantling, and disposing of explosive ordnance,
            as well as radiological, biological, and chemical materials,
            can be a vital contribution to the development and deployment
            of countermeasures against nuclear, biological, and chemical
            weapons of mass destruction.
                (27) The United States lacks effective policy coordination
            regarding the threat posed by the proliferation of weapons of
            mass destruction.

                  REMAINING NUCLEAR FORCES.

        (a) Findings.--The Senate makes the following findings:
                (1) The United States is committed to proceeding with a
            robust science-based stockpile stewardship program with respect
            to production of nuclear weapons, and to maintaining nuclear
            weapons production capabilities and capacities, that are
            adequate--
                        (A) to ensure the safety, reliability, and
                    performance of the United States nuclear arsenal; and
                        (B) to meet such changing national security
                    requirements as may result from international
                    developments or technical problems with nuclear
                    warheads.
                (2) The United States is committed to reestablishing and
            maintaining production of nuclear weapons at levels that are
            sufficient--
                        (A) to satisfy requirements for the safety,
                    reliability, and performance of United States nuclear
                    weapons; and
                        (B) to demonstrate and sustain production
                    capabilities and capacities.
                (3) The United States is committed to maintaining the
            nuclear weapons laboratories and protecting core nuclear
            weapons competencies.
                (4) The United States is committed to ensuring the rapid
            access to a new production source of tritium within the next
            decade, as it currently has no meaningful capability to produce
            tritium, a component that is essential to the performance of
            modern nuclear weapons.
                (5) The United States reserves the right, consistent with
            United States law, to resume underground nuclear testing to
            maintain confidence in the United States' stockpile of nuclear
            weapons if warhead design flaws or aging of nuclear weapons
            result in problems that a robust stockpile stewardship program
            cannot solve.
                (6) The United States is committed to funding the Nevada
            Test Site at a level that maintains the ability of the United
            States to resume underground nuclear testing within one year
            after a national decision to do so is made.
                (7) The United States reserves the right to invoke the
            supreme national interest of the United States and withdraw
            from any future arms control agreement to limit underground
            nuclear testing.
        (b) Sense of the Senate Regarding Presidential Consultation With
    Congress.--It is the sense of the Senate that the President should
    consult closely with Congress regarding United States policy and
    practices to ensure confidence in the safety and reliability of the
    nuclear stockpile of the United States.
        (c) Sense of the Senate Regarding Notification and Consultation.--
    It is the sense of the Senate that, upon a determination by the
    President that a problem with the safety or reliability of the nuclear
    stockpile has occurred and that the problem cannot be corrected within
    the stockpile stewardship program, the President shall--
                (1) immediately notify Congress of the problem; and
                (2) submit to Congress in a timely manner a plan for
            corrective action with respect to the problem, including--
                        (A) a technical description of the activities
                    required under the plan; and
                        (B) if underground testing of nuclear weapons would
                    assist in such corrective action, an assessment of
                    advisability of withdrawing from any treaty that
                    prohibits underground testing of nuclear weapons.

                      TITLE XXXVI--MISCELLANEOUS PROVISION

    SEC. 3601. SENSE OF THE SENATE REGARDING THE REOPENING OF PENNSYLVANIA
                  AVENUE.

        (a) Findings.--The Senate makes the following findings:
                (1) In 1791, President George Washington commissioned
            Pierre Charles L'Enfant to draft a blueprint for America's new
            capital city; they envisioned Pennsylvania Avenue as a bold,
            ceremonial boulevard physically linking the U.S. Capitol
            building and the White House, and symbolically the Legislative
            and Executive branches of government.
                (2) An integral element of the District of Columbia,
            Pennsylvania Avenue stood for 195 years as a vital, working,
            unbroken roadway, elevating it into a place of national
            importance as ``America's Main Street''.
                (3) 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, the White House, has become
            America's most recognized address and a primary destination of
            visitors to the Nation's Capital; ``the People's House'' is
            host to 5,000 tourists daily, and 15,000,000 annually.
                (4) As home to the President, and given its prominent
            location on Pennsylvania Avenue and its proximity to the
            People, the White House has become a powerful symbol of
            freedom, openness, and an individual's access to their
            government.
                (5) On May 20, 1995, citing possible security risks from
            vehicles transporting terrorist bombs, President Clinton
            ordered the Secret Service, in conjunction with the Department
            of the Treasury, to close Pennsylvania Avenue to vehicular
            traffic for two blocks in front of the White House.
                (6) While the security of the President and visitors to the
            White House is of grave concern and is not to be taken lightly,
            the need to assure the President's safety must be balanced with
            the expectation of freedom inherent in a democracy; the present
            situation is tilted too heavily toward security at freedom's
            expense.
                (7) By impeding access and imposing undue hardships upon
            tourists, residents of the District, commuters, and local
            business owners and their customers, the closure of
            Pennsylvania Avenue, undertaken without the counsel of the
            government of the District of Columbia, has replaced the former
            openness of the area surrounding the White House with
            barricades, additional security checkpoints, and an atmosphere
            of fear and distrust.
                (8) In the year following the closure of Pennsylvania
            Avenue, the taxpayers have borne a significant burden for
            additional security measures along the Avenue near the White
            House.
        (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that the
    President should request the Department of the Treasury and the Secret
    Service to work with the Government of the District of Columbia to
    develop a plan for the permanent reopening to vehicular traffic of
    Pennsylvania Avenue in front of the White House in order to restore the
    Avenue to its original state and return it to the people: Provided,
    That the Secretary of the Treasury and the Secret Service certify that
    the plan protects the security of the people who live and work in the
    White House.

                Amend the title so as to read: ``An Act to authorize
            appropriations for fiscal year 1997 for military activities of
            the Department of Defense, for military construction, and for
            defense activities of the Department of Energy, to prescribe
            personnel strengths for such fiscal year for the Armed Forces,
            and for other purposes.''.

                Attest:

                                                                 Secretary.
