    SEC. 247. NATIONAL OCEANOGRAPHIC PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM.

        (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
                (1) The oceans and coastal areas of the United States are
            among the Nation's most valuable natural resources, making
            substantial contributions to economic growth, quality of life,
            and national security.
                (2) Oceans drive global and regional climate. Hence, they
            contain information affecting agriculture, fishing, and the
            prediction of severe weather.
                (3) Understanding of the oceans through basic and applied
            research is essential for using the oceans wisely and
            protecting their limited resources. Therefore, the United
            States should maintain its world leadership in oceanography as
            one key to its competitive future.
                (4) Ocean research and education activities take place
            within Federal agencies, academic institutions, and industry.
            These entities often have similar requirements for research
            facilities, data, and other resources (such as oceanographic
            research vessels).
                (5) The need exists for a formal mechanism to coordinate
            existing partnerships and establish new partnerships for the
            sharing of resources, intellectual talent, and facilities in
            the ocean sciences and education, so that optimal use can be
            made of this most important natural resource for the well-being
            of all Americans.
        (b) Program Required.--(1) Subtitle C of title 10, United States
    Code, is amended by adding after chapter 663 the following new chapter:

    SEC. 516. SENSE OF CONGRESS AND REPORT REGARDING REEMPLOYMENT RIGHTS
                  FOR MOBILIZED RESERVISTS EMPLOYED IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES.

        (a) Sense of Congress.--Congress is concerned about the lack of
    reemployment rights afforded Reserve component members who reside in
    foreign countries and either work for United States companies that
    maintain offices or operations in foreign countries or work for foreign
    employers. Being outside the jurisdiction of the United States, these
    employers are not subject to the provisions of chapter 43 of title 38,
    United States Code, known as the Uniformed Services Employment and
    Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA). The purpose of that Act is to provide
    statutory employment protections that include reinstatement, seniority,
    status, and rate of pay coverage for Reservists who are ordered to
    active duty for a specified period of time, including involuntary
    active duty in support of an operational contingency. While most
    Reserve members are afforded the protections of that Act (which covers
    reemployment rights in their civilian jobs upon completion of military
    service), approximately 2,000 members of the Selected Reserve reside
    outside the United States and its territories and, not being guaranteed
    the job protection envisioned by the USERRA, are potentially subject to
    reemployment problems after release from active duty. During Operation
    Joint Endeavor, a number of Reservists who are currently living and
    working abroad and who were involuntarily ordered to active duty in
    support of that operation did in fact face reemployment problems with
    their civilian employers. This situation poses a continuing personnel
    management challenge for the reserve components.
        (b) Recognition of Problem.--Congress, while recognizing that
    foreign governments and companies located abroad, not being within the
    jurisdiction of the United States, cannot be required to comply with
    the provisions of the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment
    Rights Act, also recognizes that there is a need to provide assistance
    to Reservists in the situation described in subsection (a), both in the
    near term and the long term.
        (c) Report Requirement.--Not later than April 1, 1997, the
    Secretary of Defense shall submit to the Committee on Armed Services of
    the Senate and the Committee on National Security of the House of
    Representatives a report that sets forth recommended actions to help
    alleviate reemployment problems for Reservists who are employed outside
    the United States and its territories by United States companies that
    maintain offices or operations in foreign countries or by foreign
    employers. The report shall include recommendations on the assistance
    and support that may be required by other organizations of the
    Government, including the Defense Attache Offices, the Department of
    Labor, and the Department of State. The report shall be prepared in
    consultation with the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Labor.

    SEC. 517. ELIGIBILITY FOR ENROLLMENT IN READY RESERVE MOBILIZATION

    other provision of this section, and pursuant to regulations issued by
    the Secretary, a member of the Individual Ready Reserve who becomes a
    member of the Selected Reserve shall not be denied eligibility to
    purchase insurance under this chapter upon becoming a member of the
    Selected Reserve unless the member previously declined to enroll in the
    program of insurance under this chapter while a member of the Selected
    Reserve.''.

    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

            (other than medicare coverage) covering basic primary care and

    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

    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

    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

    SEC. 1040. PROHIBITION ON CARRYING OUT SR-71 STRATEGIC RECONNAISSANCE
                  PROGRAM DURING FISCAL YEAR 1997.

    reconnaissance program during fiscal year 1997 using the SR-71
    aircraft.

    SEC. 1041. DEFENSE BURDENSHARING.

        (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
                (1) Although the Cold War has ended, 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 primarily 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) Because of this unfair burden, the Congress previously
            voted to require United States allies to bear a greater share
            of the costs incurred for keeping United States military forces
            permanently assigned in their countries.
                (11) As a result of this action, for example, 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.
                (12) These increased contributions help to rectify the
            imbalance in the burden shouldered by the United States for the
            common defense.
                (13) 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) For any nation in which United States military
            personnel are assigned to permanent duty ashore, 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, including United
            Nations or regional peace operations.
        (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:
                (1) Reduce the end strength level of members of the Armed
            Forces assigned to permanent duty ashore in that nation.
                (2) Impose on that nation taxes, fees, or other charges
            similar to those that such nation imposes on United States
            forces stationed in that nation.
                (3) Reduce (through rescission, impoundment, or other
            appropriate procedures as authorized by law) the amount the
            United States contributes to the NATO Civil Budget, Military
            Budget, or Security Investment Program.
                (4) Suspend, modify, or terminate any bilateral security
            agreement the United States has with that nation.
                (5) Reduce (through rescission, impoundment or other
            appropriate procedures as authorized by law) any United States
            bilateral assistance appropriated for that nation.
                (6) Take any other action the President determines to be
            appropriate as authorized by law.
        (d) Report on Progress in Increasing Allied Burdensharing.--Not
    later than March 1, 1997, the Secretary of Defense shall submit to
    Congress a report on--
                (1) steps taken by other nations to complete the actions
            described in subsection (b);
                (2) all measures taken by the President, including those
            authorized in subsection (c), to achieve the actions described
            in subsection (b); and
                (3) the budgetary savings to the United States that are
            expected to accrue as a result of the steps described under
            paragraph (1).
        (e) Report on National Security Bases for Forward Deployment and
    Burdensharing Relationships.--(1) In order to ensure the best
    allocation of budgetary resources, the President shall undertake a
    review of the status of elements of the United States Armed Forces that
    are permanently stationed outside the United States. The review shall
    include an assessment of the following:
                (A) The alliance requirements that are to be found in
            agreements between the United States and other countries.
                (B) The national security interests that support
            permanently stationing elements of the United States Armed
            Forces outside the United States.
                (C) The stationing costs associated with the forward
            deployment of elements of the United States Armed Forces.
                (D) The alternatives available to forward deployment (such
            as material prepositioning, enhanced airlift and sealift, or
            joint training operations) to meet such alliance requirements
            or national security interests, with such alternatives
            identified and described in detail.
                (E) The costs and force structure configurations associated
            with such alternatives to forward deployment.
                (F) The financial contributions that allies of the United
            States make to common defense efforts (to promote
            democratization, economic stabilization, transparency
            arrangements, defense economic conversion, respect for the rule
            of law, and internationally recognized human rights).
                (G) The contributions that allies of the United States make
            to meeting the stationing costs associated with the forward
            deployment of elements of the United States Armed Forces.
                (H) The annual expenditures of the United States and its
            allies on national defense, and the relative percentages of
            each nation's gross domestic product constituted by those
            expenditures.
        (2) The President shall submit to Congress a report on the review
    under paragraph (1). The report shall be submitted not later than March
    1, 1997, in classified and unclassified form.

    SEC. 1048. SENSE OF CONGRESS AND PRESIDENTIAL REPORT REGARDING NUCLEAR
                  WEAPONS PROLIFERATION AND POLICIES OF THE PEOPLE'S
                  REPUBLIC OF CHINA.

        (a) Findings.--The Congress finds that--
                (1) intelligence investigations by the United States have
            revealed transfers from the People's Republic of China to
            Pakistan of sophisticated equipment important to the
            development of nuclear weapons;
                (2) the People's Republic of China acceded to the Treaty on
            the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (hereafter in this
            section referred to as the ``NPT'') as a nuclear-weapon state
            on March 9, 1992;
                (3) Article I of the NPT stipulates that a nuclear-weapon
            state party to the treaty shall not in any way encourage,
            assist, or induce any non-nuclear-weapon state to manufacture
            or otherwise acquire nuclear weapons;
                (4) the NPT establishes a non-nuclear-weapon state as one
            which has not manufactured and exploded a nuclear weapon by
            January 1, 1967;
                (5) Pakistan had not manufactured and exploded a nuclear
            weapon by January 1, 1967;
                (6) Article III of the NPT requires each party to the
            treaty not to provide to any non-nuclear-weapon state equipment
            or material designed or prepared for the processing, use, or
            production of special fissionable material, unless the material
            is subject to the safeguards stipulated in the treaty;
                (7) Pakistan has not acceded to the NPT, and nuclear-
            related equipment and material provided to Pakistan is not
            subject to international safeguards;
                (8) under the NPT, assisting a non-nuclear-weapon state to
            acquire unsafeguarded nuclear material important to the
            manufacture of nuclear weapons is a violation of Articles I and
            III of the NPT;
                (9) this transfer constitutes the latest example in a
            consistent pattern of nuclear weapon-related exports by the
            People's Republic of China to non-nuclear-weapon states in
            violation of international treaties and agreements and United
            States laws relating to the nonproliferation of nuclear
            weapons;
                (10) failure to enforce the applicable sanctions available
            under United States law in this case compromises vital security
            interests and undermines the credibility of United States and
            international efforts to discourage commerce in nuclear-related
            equipment, technology, and materials;
                (11) recent claims by senior Chinese officials that the
            Government of the People's Republic of China was unaware of any
            transfers of ring magnets by a goverment-owned entity, if true,
            call into question the reliability and effectiveness of Chinese
            export controls; and
                (12) recent exports of sophisticated nuclear-related
            technologies reduce the credibility of previous assurances by
            the People's Republic of China concerning its nonproliferation
            policies since the ratification of the NPT.
        (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress that in
    responding to the transfer from the People's Republic of China to
    Pakistan of equipment important to the development of a nuclear weapons
    program--
                (1) the President should not have decided that there was
            not a sufficient basis to warrant a determination that
            sanctionable activity occurred under section 2(b)(4) of the
            Export-Import Bank Act of 1945, as amended by section 825 of
            the Nuclear Proliferation Prevention Act of 1994; and
                (2) the President should have imposed the strongest
            possible sanctions available under United States law on all
            Chinese official and commercial entities associated directly or
            indirectly with the research, development, sale,
            transportation, or financing of any nuclear or military
            industrial product or service made available for export since
            March 9, 1992.
        (c) Report.--Not later than 60 days after the date of the enactment
    of this Act, the President shall submit to the Congress a report on the
    response of the United States to the transfer from the People's
    Republic of China to Pakistan of equipment important to the development
    of a nuclear weapons program. The President shall include in the report
    the following:
                (1) The specific justification of the Secretary of State
            for determining that there was not sufficient basis for
            imposing sanctions under section 2(b)(4) of the Export-Import
            Bank Act of 1945, as amended by section 825 of the Nuclear
            Proliferation Prevention Act of 1994, by reason of such
            transfer from the People's Republic of China to Pakistan.
                (2) What commitment the United States Government is seeking
            from the People's Republic of China to ensure that the People's
            Republic of China establishes a fully effective export control
            system that will prevent transfers (such as the Pakistan sale)
            from taking place in the future.
                (3) Whether, in light of the recent assurances provided by
            the People's Republic of China, the President intends to make
            the certification and submit the report required by section
            902(a)(6)(B) of the Foreign Relations Authorization Act, Fiscal
            Years 1990 and 1991 (22 U.S.C. 2151 note), and make the
            certification and submit the report required by Public Law 99-
            183, relating to the approval and implementation of the
            agreement for nuclear cooperation between the United States and
            the People's Republic of China, and, if not, why not.
                (4) Whether the Secretary of State considers the recent
            assurances and clarifications provided by the People's Republic
            of China to have provided sufficient information to allow the
            United States to determine that the People's Republic of China
            is not in violation of paragraph (2) of section 129 of the
            Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as required by Public Law 99-183.
                (5) If the President is unable or unwilling to make the
            certifications and reports referred to in paragraph (3), a
            description of what the President considers to be the
            significance of the clarifications and assurances provided by
            the People's Republic of China in the course of the recent
            discussions regarding the transfer by the People's Republic of
            China of nuclear-weapon-related equipment to Pakistan.

    SEC. 1054. SENSE OF CONGRESS CONCERNING ASSISTING OTHER COUNTRIES TO
                  IMPROVE SECURITY OF FISSILE MATERIAL.

        (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
                (1) With the end of the Cold War, the world is faced with
            the need to manage the dismantling of vast numbers of nuclear
            weapons and the disposition of the fissile materials that they
            contain.
                (2) If recently agreed reductions in nuclear weapons are
            fully implemented, tens of thousands of nuclear weapons,
            containing a hundred tons or more of plutonium and many
            hundreds of tons of highly enriched uranium, will no longer be
            needed for military purposes.
                (3) Plutonium and highly enriched uranium are the essential
            ingredients of nuclear weapons.
                (4) Limits on access to plutonium and highly enriched
            uranium are the primary technical barrier to acquiring nuclear
            weapons capability in the world today.
                (5) Several kilograms of plutonium, or several times that
            amount of highly enriched uranium, are sufficient to make a
            nuclear weapons.
                (6) Plutonium and highly enriched uranium will continue to
            pose a potential threat for as long as they exist.
                (7) Action is required to secure and account for plutonium
            and highly enriched uranium.
                (8) It is in the national interest of the United States
            to--
                        (A) minimize the risk that fissile materials could
                    be obtained by unauthorized parties;
                        (B) minimize the risk that fissile materials could
                    be reintroduced into the arsenals from which they came,
                    halting or reversing the arms reduction process; and
                        (C) strengthen the national and international
                    control mechanisms and incentives designed to ensure
                    continued arms reductions and prevent the spread of
                    nuclear weapons.
        (b) Sense of Congress.--In light of the findings contained in
    subsection (a), it is the sense of Congress that the United States has
    a national security interest in assisting other countries to improve
    the security of their stocks of fissile material.

    SEC. 1055. SOUTHWEST BORDER STATES ANTI-DRUG INFORMATION SYSTEM.

        It is the sense of Congress that the Federal Government should
    support and encourage the full utilization of the Southwest Border
    States Anti-Drug Information System.

    limitations referred to in subsection (a)--
                (1) permit the Secretaries of the military departments, in
            view of increased requirements for assignment of general and
            flag officers in positions external to their organic services,
            to meet adequately both internal and external requirements for
            general and flag officers;

            units and members may be on active duty under those authorities

            component unit;

                (1) Before relinquishment notice.--Before filing a
            relinquishment notice under section 2908(c), the Secretary of
            the Army shall prepare a written determination as to whether
            and to what extent the lands to be relinquished are
            contaminated with explosive, toxic, or other hazardous
            materials. A copy of the determination made by the Secretary of

                (2) Upon termination of withdrawal.--At the expiration of
            the withdrawal period made by this Act, the Secretary of the
            Interior shall determine whether and to what extent the lands
            withdrawn by this subtitle are contaminated to an extent which
            prevents opening such contaminated lands to operation of the
            public land laws.
        (b) Program of Decontamination.--
                (1) In general.--Throughout the duration of the withdrawal
            and reservation made by this subtitle, the Secretary of the
            Army, to the extent funds are made available, shall maintain a
            program of decontamination of the lands withdrawn by this
            subtitle at least at the level of effort carried out during
            fiscal year 1992.
                (2) Decontamination of lands to be relinquished.--In the
            case of lands subject to a relinquishment notice under section
            2908(c) that are contaminated, the Secretary of the Army shall
            decontaminate the land to the extent that funds are
            appropriated for such purpose if the Secretary of the Interior,
            in consultation with the Secretary of the Army, determines
            that--
                        (A) decontamination of the lands is practicable and
                    economically feasible, taking into consideration the
                    potential future use and value of the land; and
                        (B) upon decontamination, the land could be opened
                    to the operation of some or all of the public land
                    laws, including the mining laws.
        (c) Authority of Secretary of the Interior To Refuse Contaminated
    Lands.--The Secretary of the Interior shall not be required to accept
    lands proposed for relinquishment if the Secretary of the Army and the
    Secretary of the Interior conclude that--
                (1) decontamination of any or all of the lands proposed for
            relinquishment is not practicable or economically feasible;
                (2) the lands cannot be decontaminated sufficiently to
            allow them to be opened to the operation of the public land
            laws; or
                (3) insufficient funds are appropriated for the purpose of
            decontaminating the lands.
        (d) Effect of Continued Contamination.--If the Secretary of the
    Interior declines under subsection (c) to accept jurisdiction of lands
    proposed for relinquishment or if the Secretary of the Interior
    determines under subsection (a)(2) that some of the lands withdrawn by
    this subtitle are contaminated to an extent that prevents opening the
    contaminated lands to operation of the public land laws--
                (1) the Secretary of the Army shall take appropriate steps
            to warn the public of the contaminated state of such lands and
            any risks associated with entry onto such lands;
                (2) after the expiration of the withdrawal, the Secretary
            of the Army shall undertake no activities on such lands except
            in connection with decontamination of such lands; and
                (3) the Secretary of the Army shall report to the Secretary
            of the Interior and to the Congress concerning the status of
            such lands and all actions taken under paragraphs (1) and (2).
        (e) Effect of Subsequent Decontamination.--If the lands described
    in subsection (d) are subsequently decontaminated, upon certification
    by the Secretary of the Army that the lands are safe for all
    nonmilitary uses, the Secretary of the Interior shall reconsider
    accepting jurisdiction over the lands.
        (f) Effect on Other Laws.--Nothing in this subtitle shall affect,
    or be construed to affect, the obligations of the Secretary of the
    Army, if any, to decontaminate lands withdrawn by this subtitle
    pursuant to applicable law, including the Comprehensive Environmental
    Response Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (42 U.S.C. 9601 et

    the Navy decides to relinquish all or any portion of the lands
    withdrawn and reserved under this subtitle, the Secretary of the Navy
    shall file a notice of intention to relinquish with the Secretary of
    the Interior.
        (b) Determination of Presence of Contamination.--Before
    transmitting a relinquishment notice under subsection (a), the
    Secretary of the Navy, in consultation with the Secretary of the
    Interior, shall prepare a written determination concerning whether and
    to what extent the lands to be relinquished are contaminated with
    explosive, toxic, or other hazardous wastes and substances. A copy of
    such determination shall be transmitted with the relinquishment notice.
        (c) Decontamination and Remediation.--In the case of contaminated
    lands which are the subject of a relinquishment notice, the Secretary
    of the Navy shall decontaminate or remediate the land to the extent
    that funds are appropriated for such purpose if the Secretary of the
    Interior, in consultation with the Secretary of the Navy, determines
    that--
                (1) decontamination or remediation of the lands is
            practicable and economically feasible, taking into
            consideration the potential future use and value of the land;
            and
                (2) upon decontamination or remediation, the land could be
            opened to the operation of some or all of the public land laws,
            including the mining laws.

        (e) Authority of Secretary of the Interior To Refuse Contaminated
    Lands.--The Secretary of the Interior shall not be required to accept
    lands specified in a relinquishment notice if the Secretary of the
    Interior, after consultation with the Secretary of the Navy, concludes
    that--
                (1) decontamination or remediation of any land subject to
            the relinquishment notice is not practicable or economically
            feasible;
                (2) the land cannot be decontaminated or remediated
            sufficiently to be opened to operation of some or all of the
            public land laws; or
                (3) a sufficient amount of funds are not appropriated for
            the decontamination of the land.
        (f) Status of Contaminated Lands.--If, because of the condition of
    the lands, the Secretary of the Interior declines to accept
    jurisdiction of lands proposed for relinquishment or, if at the
    expiration of the withdrawal made under this subtitle, the Secretary of
    the Interior determines that some of the lands withdrawn under this
    subtitle are contaminated to an extent which prevents opening such
    contaminated lands to operation of the public land laws--
                (1) the Secretary of the Navy shall take appropriate steps
            to warn the public of the contaminated state of such lands and
            any risks associated with entry onto such lands;
                (2) after the expiration of the withdrawal, the Secretary
            of the Navy shall retain jurisdiction over the withdrawn lands,
            but shall undertake no activities on such lands except in
            connection with the decontamination or remediation of such
            lands; and
                (3) the Secretary of the Navy shall report to the Secretary
            of the Interior and to the Congress concerning the status of
            such lands and all actions taken under paragraphs (1) and (2).
        (g) Subsequent Decontamination or Remediation.--If lands covered by
    subsection (f) are subsequently decontaminated or remediated and the
    Secretary of the Navy certifies that the lands are safe for nonmilitary
    uses, the Secretary of the Interior shall reconsider accepting
    jurisdiction over the lands.
        (h) Revocation Authority.--Notwithstanding any other provision of
    law, upon deciding that it is in the public interest to accept
    jurisdiction over lands specified in a relinquishment notice, the
    Secretary of the Interior may revoke the withdrawal and reservation
    made under this subtitle as it applies to such lands. If the decision
    be made to accept the relinquishment and to revoke the withdrawal and
    reservation, the Secretary of the Interior shall publish in the Federal
    Register an appropriate order which shall--
                (1) terminate the withdrawal and reservation;
                (2) constitute official acceptance of full jurisdiction
            over the lands by the Secretary of the Interior; and
                (3) state the date upon which the lands will be opened to
            the operation of the public land laws, including the mining
            laws, if appropriate.
