                       Subtitle C--Missile Defense

SEC. 231. SHORT TITLE.

    This subtitle may be cited as the ``Missile Defense Act of 1995''.

SEC. 232. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The threat that is posed to the national security of 
        the United States by the proliferation of ballistic and cruise 
        missiles is significant and growing, both quantitatively and 
        qualitatively.
            (2) The deployment of Theater Missile Defense systems will 
        deny potential adversaries the option of escalating a conflict 
        by threatening or attacking United States forces, coalition 
        partners of the United States, or allies of the United States 
        with ballistic missiles armed with weapons of mass destruction 
        to offset the operational and technical advantages of the 
        United States and its coalition partners and allies.
            (3) The intelligence community of the United States has 
        confirmed that (A) the missile proliferation trend is toward 
        longer range and more sophisticated ballistic missiles, (B) 
        North Korea may deploy an intercontinental ballistic missile 
        capable of reaching Alaska or beyond within 5 years, and (C) 
        although a new indigenously developed ballistic missile threat 
        to the continental United States is not forecast within the 
        next 10 years there are ways for determined countries to 
        acquire intercontinental ballistic missiles in the near future 
        and with little warning by means other than indigenous 
        development.
            (4) The deployment by the United States and its allies of 
        effective defenses against ballistic missiles of all ranges, as 
        well as against cruise missiles, will reduce the incentives for 
        countries to acquire such missiles or to augment existing 
        missile capabilities.
            (5) The Cold War distinction between strategic ballistic 
        missiles and nonstrategic ballistic missiles and, therefore, 
        the ABM Treaty's distinction between strategic defense and 
        nonstrategic defense, is technologically and geostrategically 
        outdated.
            (6) The concept of mutual assured destruction, which 
        provides the philosophical rationale for the ABM Treaty and 
        continued reliance on an offense-only form of deterrence, is 
        adversarial and bipolar in nature and is not a suitable basis 
        for stability in a multipolar world and one in which the United 
        States and the states of the former Soviet Union are seeking to 
        normalize relations and eliminate Cold War attitudes and 
        arrangements.
            (7) By undermining the credibility of, and incentives to 
        pursue, destabilizing first-strike strategies, theater and 
        national missile defenses can contribute to the maintenance of 
        strategic stability as missile threats proliferate and as the 
        United States and the former Soviet Union significantly reduce 
        the
         number of strategic nuclear forces in their respective 
inventories.
            (8) Although technology control regimes and other forms of 
        international arms control can contribute to nonproliferation, 
        such measures are inadequate for dealing with missile 
        proliferation, and should not be viewed as alternatives to 
        missile defenses and other active and passive defenses.
            (9) Due to limitations in the ABM Treaty which preclude 
        deployment of more than 100 ground-based ABM interceptors at a 
        single site, the United States is currently prohibited from 
        deploying a national missile defense system capable of 
        defending the continental United States, Alaska, and Hawaii 
        against even the most limited ballistic missile attacks.

SEC. 233. MISSILE DEFENSE POLICY.

    It is the policy of the United States to--
            (1) deploy as soon as possible highly effective theater 
        missile defenses capable of countering existing and emerging 
        theater ballistic missiles;
            (2) deploy a multiple-site national missile defense system 
        that (A) is highly effective against limited ballistic missile 
        attacks on the territory of the United States, and (B) will be 
        augmented over time to provide a layered defense against larger 
        and more sophisticated ballistic missile threats;
            (3) improve existing cruise missile defenses and deploy as 
        soon as practical defenses that are highly effective against 
        advanced cruise missiles;
            (4) pursue a focused research and development program to 
        provide follow-on ballistic missile defense options;
            (5) employ streamlined acquisition procedures to lower the 
        cost and accelerate the pace of developing and deploying 
        theater missile defenses, cruise missile defenses, and national 
        missile defenses; and
            (6) seek a cooperative transition to a regime that does not 
        feature mutual assured destruction and an offense-only form of 
        deterrence as the basis for strategic stability.

SEC. 234. THEATER MISSILE DEFENSE ARCHITECTURE.

    (a) Establishment of Core Program.--To implement the policy 
established in section 233, the Secretary of Defense shall establish a 
top priority core theater missile defense program consisting of the 
following systems:
            (1) The Patriot PAC-3 system, which shall have a first unit 
        equipped (FUE) in fiscal year 1998.
            (2) The Navy Lower Tier (Area) system, which shall have a 
        user operational evaluation system (UOES) capability in fiscal 
        year 1997 and an initial operational capability (IOC) in fiscal 
        year 1999.
            (3) The Theater High-Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system, 
        which shall have a user operational evaluation system (UOES) 
        capability in fiscal year 1997 and an initial operational 
        capability (IOC) no later than fiscal year 2002.
            (4) The Navy Upper Tier (Theater Wide) system, which shall 
        have a user operational evaluation system (UOES) capability in 
        fiscal year 1999 and an initial operational capability (IOC) in 
        fiscal year 2001.
    (b) Interoperability and Support of Core Systems.--To maximize 
effectiveness and flexibility, the Secretary of Defense shall ensure 
that core theater missile defense systems are interoperable and fully 
capable of exploiting external sensor and battle management support 
from systems such as the Navy's Cooperative Engagement Capability 
(CEC), the Army's Battlefield Integration Center (BIC), air and space-
based sensors including, in particular, the Space and Missile Tracking 
System (SMTS).
    (c) Termination of Programs.--The Secretary of Defense shall 
terminate the following programs:
            (1) The Corps Surface to Air Missile system (Corps SAM).
            (2) The Boost Phase Interceptor (BPI).
    (d) Follow-On Systems.--(1) The Secretary of Defense shall develop 
an affordable development plan for follow-on theater missile defense 
systems which leverages existing systems, technologies, and programs, 
and focuses investments to satisfy military requirements not met by the 
core program.
    (2) Before adding new theater missile defense systems to the core 
program from among the follow-on activities, the Secretary of Defense 
shall submit to the congressional defense committees a report 
describing--
            (A) the requirements for the program;
            (B) how the new program will relate to, support, and 
        leverage off existing core programs;
            (C) the planned acquisition strategy; and
            (D) a preliminary estimate of total program cost and 
        budgetary impact.
    (e) Report.--Not later than 60 days after the date of the enactment 
of this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall submit to the congressional 
defense committees a report detailing the Secretary's plans for 
implementing the guidance specified in this section.
SEC. 235. NATIONAL MISSILE DEFENSE SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE.

    (a) In General.--To implement the policy established in section 
233, the Secretary of Defense shall develop an affordable and 
operationally effective national missile defense system, which will 
attain initial operational capability (IOC) by the end of 2003. The 
national missile defense system to be developed for deployment shall 
include the following:
            (1) Ground-based interceptors deployed at multiple sites, 
        the locations and numbers of which are to be determined so as 
        to optimize the defensive coverage of the continental United 
        States, Alaska, and Hawaii against limited ballistic missile 
        attacks.
            (2) Fixed ground-based radars and space-based sensors, 
        including the Space and Missile Tracking system, the mix, 
        siting and numbers of which are to be determined so as to 
        optimize sensor support and minimize total system cost.
            (3) Battle management, command, control, and communications 
        (BM/C3).
    (b) Interim Operational Capability.--To provide a hedge against the 
emergence of near-term ballistic missile threats against the United 
States and to support the development and deployment of the objective 
system specified in subsection (a), the Secretary of Defense shall 
develop an interim national missile defense capability, consistent with 
the technical requirements and schedule of such objective system, to be 
operational by the end of 1999. In developing this capability the 
Secretary shall make use of--
            (1) developmental, or user operational evaluation system 
        (UOES) interceptors, radars, and battle management, command, 
        control, and communications (BM/C3), to the extent that such 
        use directly supports, and does not significantly increase the 
        cost of, the objective system specified in subsection (a);
            (2) one or more of the sites that will be used as 
        deployment locations for the objective system specified in 
        subsection (a);
            (3) upgraded early warning radars; and
            (4) space-based sensors.
    (c) Use of Streamlined Acquisition Procedures.--The Secretary of 
Defense shall prescribe and use streamlined acquisition procedures to--
            (1) reduce the cost and increase the efficiency of 
        developing the national missile defense system specified in 
        subsection (a); and
            (2) ensure that the interim national missile defense 
        capabilities developed pursuant to subsection (b) are 
        operationally effective and on a path to fulfill the technical 
        requirements and schedule of the objective system.
    (d) Additional Cost Saving Measures.--In addition to the procedures 
prescribed pursuant to subsection (c), the Secretary of Defense shall 
employ cost saving measures that do not decrease the operational 
effectiveness of the systems specified in subsections (a) and (b), and 
which do not pose unacceptable technical risk. The cost saving measures 
should include the following:
            (1) The use of existing facilities and infrastructure.
            (2) The use, where appropriate, of existing or upgraded 
        systems and technologies.
            (3) Development of systems and components that do not rely 
        on a large and permanent infrastructure and are easily 
        transported, emplaced, and moved.
    (e) Report on Plan for Deployment.--Not later than 60 days after 
the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall 
submit to the congressional defense committees a report containing the 
following matters:
            (1) The Secretary's plan for carrying out this section.
            (2) An analysis of options for supplementing or modifying 
        the national missile defense architecture specified in 
        subsection (a) before attaining initial operational capability, 
        or evolving such architecture in a building block manner after 
        attaining initial operational capability, to improve the cost-
        effectiveness or the operational effectiveness of such system 
        by adding one or a combination of the following:
                    (A) Additional ground-based interceptors at 
                existing or new sites.
                    (B) Sea-based missile defense systems.
                    (C) Space-based kinetic energy interceptors.
                    (D) Space-based directed energy systems.

SEC. 236. CRUISE MISSILE DEFENSE INITIATIVE.

    (a) In General.--The Secretary of Defense shall undertake an 
initiative to coordinate and strengthen the cruise missile defense 
programs, projects, and activities of the military departments, the 
Advanced Research Projects Agency and the Ballistic Missile Defense 
Organization to ensure that the United States develops and deploys 
highly effective defenses against existing and future cruise missile 
threats.
    (b) Actions of the Secretary of Defense.--In carrying out 
subsection (a), the Secretary of Defense shall ensure that--
            (1) to the extent practicable, the ballistic missile 
        defense and cruise missile defense efforts of the Department of 
        Defense are coordinated and mutually reinforcing;
            (2) existing air defense systems are adequately upgraded to 
        defend against existing and near-term cruise missile threats; 
        and
            (3) the Department of Defense undertakes a high priority 
        and well coordinated technology development program to support 
        the future deployment of systems that are highly effective 
        against advanced cruise missiles, including cruise missiles 
        with low observable features.
    (c) Implementation Plan.--Not later than 60 days after the date of 
the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall submit to the 
congressional defense committees a detailed plan, in unclassified and 
classified forms, as necessary, for carrying out this section. The plan 
shall include an assessment of--
            (1) the systems that currently have cruise missile defense 
        capabilities, and existing programs to improve these 
        capabilities;
            (2) the technologies that could be deployed in the near- to 
        mid-term to provide significant advances over existing cruise 
        missile defense capabilities, and the investments that would be 
        required to ready the technologies for deployment;
            (3) the cost and operational tradeoffs, if any, between 
        upgrading existing air and missile defense systems and 
        accelerating follow-on systems with significantly improved 
        capabilities against advanced cruise missiles; and
            (4) the organizational and management changes that would 
        strengthen and further coordinate the cruise missile defense 
        efforts of the Department of Defense, including the 
        disadvantages, if any, of implementing such changes.

SEC. 237. POLICY REGARDING THE ABM TREATY.

    (a) Sense of Congress.--In light of the findings and policies 
provided in this subtitle, it is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) the Senate should--
                    (A) undertake a comprehensive review of the 
                continuing value and validity of the ABM Treaty with 
                the intent of providing additional policy guidance on 
                the future of the ABM Treaty during the second session 
                of the 104th Congress; and
                    (B) consider establishing a select committee to 
                carry out the review and to recommend such additional 
                policy guidance on future application of the ABM Treaty 
                as the select committee considers appropriate; and
            (2) the President should cease all efforts to modify, 
        clarify, or otherwise alter United States obligations under the 
        ABM Treaty pending the outcome of the review.
    (b) ABM Treaty Negotiating Record.--(1) To support the 
comprehensive review specified in subsection (a), the Secretary of 
Defense, in consultation with other appropriate officials of the 
executive branch, shall provide the Senate with a complete, 
declassified version of the ABM Treaty negotiating record, including--
            (A) within 30 days after the date of the enactment of this 
        Act, an index of the documents comprising the negotiating 
        record; and
            (B) within 60 days after the date of the enactment of this 
        Act, the documents comprising the negotiating record in 
        unclassified form.
    (2) If the Secretary considers it necessary to do so, the Secretary 
may submit the documents referred to in paragraph (1)(B) in classified 
form when due under that paragraph. If the Secretary does so, however, 
the Secretary shall submit the documents in unclassified form within 90 
days after the date of the enactment of this Act.
    (c) Waiver.--The Secretary of Defense, after consultation with any 
select committee established in accordance with subsection (a)(1)(B) 
or, if no select committee, the Committee on Armed Services of the 
Senate, may waive the declassification requirement under subsection (b) 
on a document by document basis.

SEC. 238. STANDARD FOR ASSESSING COMPLIANCE WITH THE ABM TREATY.

    (a) Policy Concerning Systems Subject to ABM Treaty.--Unless and 
until a missile defense or air defense system, system upgrade, or 
system component, including one that exploits data from space-based or 
other external sensors (such as the Space and Missile Tracking System, 
which can be deployed as an ABM adjunct, or the Navy's Cooperative 
Engagement Capability), is flight tested in an ABM-qualifying flight 
test (as defined in subsection (c)), such system, system upgrade, or 
system component--
            (1) has not, for purposes of the ABM Treaty, been tested in 
        an ABM mode nor been given capabilities to counter strategic 
        ballistic missiles; and
            (2) therefore is not subject to any application, 
        limitation, or obligation under the ABM Treaty.
    (b) Prohibitions.--(1) Appropriated funds may not be obligated or 
expended by any official of the Federal Government for the purpose of--
            (A) prescribing, enforcing, or implementing any Executive 
        order, regulation, or policy that would apply the ABM Treaty 
        (or any limitation or obligation under such Treaty) to 
        research, development, testing, or deployment of a missile 
        defense or air defense system, system upgrade, or system 
        component, including one that exploits data from space-based or 
        other external sensors; or
            (B) taking any other action to provide for the ABM Treaty 
        (or any limitation or obligation under such treaty) to be 
        applied to research, development, testing, or deployment of a 
        missile defense or air defense system, system upgrade, or 
        system component, including one that exploits data from space-
        based or other external sensors.
    (2) This subsection shall cease to apply with respect to a missile 
defense or air defense system, system upgrade, or system component, 
including one that exploits data from space-based or other external 
sensors, when that system, system upgrade, or system component has been 
flight tested in an ABM-qualifying flight test.
    (c) ABM-Qualifying Flight Test Defined.--For purposes of this 
section, an ABM-qualifying flight test is a flight test against a 
ballistic missile which, in that flight test, exceeds (1) a range of 
3,500 kilometers, or (2) a velocity of 5 kilometers per second.
    (d) Actions of the Secretary of Defense.--Not later than 60 days 
after the date of the enactment of this Act, and each year thereafter 
in the annual report of the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization, the 
Secretary of Defense shall certify to Congress that no United States 
missile defense or air defense system, system upgrade, or system 
component is being limited, modified, or otherwise constrained pursuant 
to the ABM Treaty in a manner that is inconsistent with this section.
    (e) Congressional Review of Range and Velocity Parameters.--
Congress finds that the range and velocity parameters set forth in 
subsection (c) are based on a distinction between strategic and 
nonstrategic ballistic missiles that is technically and 
geostrategically outdated, and, therefore, should be subject to review 
and change as part of the Senate's comprehensive review under section 
237.

SEC. 239. BALLISTIC MISSILE DEFENSE PROGRAM ELEMENTS.

    (a) Elements Specified.--In the budget justification materials 
submitted to Congress in support of the Department of Defense budget

discharge incidental to the normal operation of a vessel, whether 
treated or not, into such waters. No such prohibition shall apply until 
the Administrator determines that

payment due under this chapter. The advance may be paid out of

amount from basic pay payable for the member or by collecting it from 
the member directly. No disbursing or certifying officer shall be 
responsible for any loss resulting from an advance under this 
subsection.

following:
            ``(1) Premiums paid under section 12527 of this title.

    ``(c) Availability.--Amounts in the Fund shall be available for 
paying insurance benefits under the insurance program.
    ``(d) Investment of Assets of Fund.--The Secretary of the Treasury 
shall invest such portion of the Fund as is not in the judgment of the 
Secretary of Defense required to meet current liabilities. Such 
investments shall be in public debt securities with maturities suitable 
to the needs of the Fund, as determined by the Secretary of Defense, 
and bearing interest at rates determined by the Secretary of the 
Treasury, taking into consideration current market yields on 
outstanding marketable obligations of the United States of comparable 
maturities. The income on such investments shall be credited to the 
Fund.

Secretary, in consultation with the Board of Actuaries and the 
Secretary of the Treasury, shall determine the following:

        investment earnings to be received, and any transfers or 
        appropriations to be made for the Fund for that fiscal year.

        unfunded liability (including any negative amount or any gain 
        to the Fund) resulting from payments of benefits.
            ``(3) The amount for that fiscal year (including any

        the Fund.

the actuarial responsibility for the insurance program.

for the Secretary to use in setting premium rates for the insurance 
program. The Board shall conduct the first valuation and determine a 
premium rate methodology not later than six months after the insurance 
program is established.
    ``(c) Effects of Changed Benefits.--If at the time of any actuarial 
valuation under subsection (b) there has been a change in benefits 
under the insurance program that has been made since the last such 
valuation and such change in benefits increases or decreases the 
present value of amounts payable from the Fund, the Board of Actuaries 
shall determine a premium rate methodology, and recommend to the 
Secretary a premium schedule, for the liquidation of any liability (or 
actuarial gain to the Fund) resulting from such change and any previous 
such changes so that the present value of the sum of the scheduled 
premium payments (or reduction in payments that would otherwise be 
made) equals the cumulative increase (or decrease) in the present value 
of such benefits.
    ``(d) Actuarial Gains or Losses.--If at the time of any such 
valuation the Board of Actuaries determines that there has been an 
actuarial gain or loss to the Fund as a result of changes in actuarial 
assumptions since the last valuation or as a result of any differences, 
between actual and expected experience since the last valuation, the 
Board shall recommend to the Secretary a premium rate schedule for the 
amortization of the cumulative gain or loss to the Fund resulting from 
such changes in assumptions and any previous such changes in 
assumptions or from the differences in actual and expected experience, 
respectively, through an increase or decrease in the payments that 
would otherwise be made to the Fund.
    ``(e) Insufficient Assets.--If at any time liabilities of the Fund 
exceed assets of the Fund as a result of members of the Ready Reserve 
being ordered to active duty as described in section 12521(2) of this 
title, and funds are unavailable to pay benefits completely, the 
Secretary shall request the President to submit to Congress a request 
for a special appropriation to cover the unfunded liability. If 
appropriations are not made to cover an unfunded liability in any 
fiscal year, the Secretary shall reduce the amount of the benefits paid 
under the insurance program to a total amount that does not exceed the 
assets of the Fund expected to accrue by the end of such fiscal year. 
Benefits that cannot be paid because of such a reduction shall be 
deferred and may be paid only after and to the extent that additional 
funds become available.

define the term `present value' for purposes of this subsection.
``Sec. 12530. Payment of benefits

person designated under paragraph (1) be deposited with a bank or other 
financial institution to the credit of the designated person.

insurance payable under the insurance program on account of a deceased 
member's period of covered service shall be paid, upon the

which the deceased member designated in writing. If no such designation 
has been made, the amount shall be payable in accordance with the laws 
of the State of the member's domicile.

    ``(a) Purchase Authorized.--The Secretary may, instead of or in 
addition to underwriting the insurance program through the Fund, 
purchase from one or more insurance companies a policy or policies of 
group insurance in order to provide the benefits required under this 
chapter. The Secretary may waive any requirement for full and open 
competition in order to purchase an insurance policy under this 
subsection.

issues a policy for purposes of subsection (a) shall establish an 
administrative office at a place and under a name designated by the 
Secretary.

any policy for purposes of subsection (a), may designate one such 
company as the representative of the other companies for such purposes, 
and may contract to pay a reasonable fee to the designated company for 
its services.

company issuing any policy for purposes of subsection (a) to reinsure,

SEC. 542. MERITORIOUS AND VALOROUS SERVICE DURING VIETNAM ERA: REVIEW 
              AND AWARDS.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The Ia Drang Valley (Pleiku) campaign, carried out by 
        the Armed Forces of the United States in the Ia Drang Valley of 
        Vietnam from October 23, 1965, to November 26, 1965, is 
        illustrative of the many battles which pitted forces of the 
        United States against North Vietnamese Army regulars and Viet 
        Cong in vicious fighting in which many members of the Armed 
        Forces displayed extraordinary heroism, sacrifice, and bravery 
        which has not yet been officially recognized through award of 
        appropriate decorations.
            (2) Accounts of these battles published since the war ended 
        authoritatively document repeated acts of extraordinary 
        heroism, sacrifice, and bravery on the part of many members of 
        the Armed Forces who were engaged in these battles, many of 
        whom have never been officially recognized for those acts.
            (3) In some of the battles United States military units 
        suffered substantial losses, in some cases a majority of the 
        strength of the units.
            (4) The incidence of heavy casualties throughout the war 
        inhibited the timely collection of comprehensive and detailed 
        information to support recommendations for awards for the acts 
        of heroism, sacrifice, and bravery performed.
            (5) Requests to the Secretaries of the military departments 
        for review of award recommendations for those acts have been 
        denied because of restrictions in law and regulations that 
        require timely filing of recommendations and documented 
        justification.
            (6) Acts of heroism, sacrifice, and bravery performed in 
        combat by members of the Armed Forces of the United States 
        deserve appropriate and timely recognition by the people of the 
        United States.
            (7) It is appropriate to recognize military personnel for 
        acts of extraordinary heroism, sacrifice, or bravery that are 
        belatedly, but properly, documented by persons who witnessed 
        those acts.
    (b) Waiver of Restrictions on Awards.--(1) Notwithstanding any 
other provision of law, the Secretary of Defense or the Secretary of 
the military department concerned may award a decoration to any person 
for an act, an achievement, or service that the person performed in a 
campaign while serving on active duty during the Vietnam era.
    (2) Paragraph (1) applies to any decoration (including any device 
in lieu of a decoration) that, during or after the Vietnam era and 
before the date of the enactment of this Act, was authorized by law or 
under regulations of the Department of Defense or the military 
department concerned to be awarded to a person for an act, an 
achievement, or service performed by that person while serving on 
active duty.
    (c) Review of Award Recommendations.--(1) The Secretary of each 
military department shall review all recommendations for awards for 
acts, achievements, or service described in subsection (b)(1) that have 
been received by the Secretary during the period of the review.
    (2) The Secretaries shall begin the review within 30 days after the 
date of the enactment of this Act and shall complete the review within 
one year after such date.
    (3) The Secretary may use the same process for carrying out the 
review as the Secretary uses for reviewing other recommendations for 
awarding decorations to members of the armed force or armed forces 
under the Secretary's jurisdiction for acts, achievements, or service.
    (4)(A) Upon completing the review, the Secretary shall submit a 
report on the review to the Committee on Armed Services of the Senate 
and the Committee on National Security of the House of Representatives.
    (B) The report shall contain the following information on each 
recommendation for award reviewed:
            (i) A summary of the recommendation.
            (ii) The findings resulting from the review.
            (iii) The final action taken on the recommendation.
    (d) Definitions.--In this section:
            (1) The term ``Vietnam era'' has the meaning given that 
        term in section 101(29) of title 38, United States Code.
            (2) The term ``active duty'' has the meaning given such 
        term in section 101(d)(1) of title 10, United States Code.

SEC. 543. MILITARY INTELLIGENCE PERSONNEL PREVENTED BY SECRECY FROM 
              BEING CONSIDERED FOR DECORATIONS AND AWARDS.

    (a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that the 
Secretaries of the military departments--
            (1) should review the service records of Armed Forces 
        personnel and former Armed Forces personnel who performed 
        military intelligence duties during the period beginning 
        January 1, 1940, and ending December 31, 1990, in order to 
        determine--
                    (A) whether, by reason of the secrecy associated 
                with the performance of such duties, any of such 
                personnel have not been considered or fully considered 
                before the date of the enactment of this Act for 
                decorations and awards for the performance of such 
                duties during that period; and
                    (B) whether, without regard to applicable time 
                limitations, any of such personnel should be considered 
                for decorations or awards in recognition of the manner 
                in which the personnel performed such duties or the 
                achievements attained in performing such duties; and
            (2) should consider, in particular, any recommendation for 
        a decoration or award for any of such personnel that--
                    (A) is based on the manner in which the personnel 
                performed such duties or the achievements attained in 
                performing such duties; and
                    (B) is received within one year after the date of 
                the enactment of this Act.
    (b) Waiver of Time Limitations.--The Secretary of a military 
department may approve a decoration or award for any personnel referred 
to in subsection (a) in accordance with the sense of Congress set forth 
in that subsection without regard to any of the following restrictions:
            (1) The following provisions of title 10, United States 
        Code:
                    (A) Section 3744(d).
                    (B) Section 6248(a).
                    (C) Section 8744(d).
            (2) Any regulation or other administrative restriction on 
        the time for submitting a recommendation for a decoration or 
        award or for approving a decoration or award.

SEC. 551. DETERMINATION OF WHEREABOUTS AND STATUS OF MISSING PERSONS.

    (a) Purpose.--The purpose of this section is to ensure that any

        if the patient relocates outside the TRICARE program region 
        involved (but inside the United States) during that period; and
            (3) to accept as payment for such services an amount not in 
        excess of the amount of the standard CHAMPUS residential

on the program carried out under this section. The report shall

SEC. 1052. NATIONAL SECURITY IMPLICATIONS OF UNITED STATES EXPORT 
              CONTROL POLICY.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Export controls remain an important element of the 
        national security policy of the United States.
            (2) It is in the national interest that United States 
        export control policy prevent the transfer, to potential 
        adversaries or combatants of the United States, of technology 
        that threatens the national security or defense of the United 
        States.
            (3) It is in the national interest that the United States 
        monitor aggressively the export of technology in order to 
        prevent its diversion to potential adversaries or combatants of 
        the United States.
            (4) The Department of Defense relies increasingly on 
        commercial and dual-use technologies, products, and processes 
        to support United States military capabilities and economic

        applications for the export of commodities whose export is 
        controlled for national security reasons if such commodities 
        are exported to certain countries, but the Department does not 
        evaluate license applications for the export of such 
        commodities if such commodities are exported to other 
        countries.
    (b)  Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) the maintenance of the military advantage of the United

        and technologies that are critical to the military capabilities 
        of the Armed Forces;
            (2) the Government should identify the dual-use items and 
        technologies that are critical to the military capabilities of 
        the Armed Forces, including the military use made of such items 
        and technologies, and should reevaluate the export control 
        policy of the United States in light of such identification; 
        and
            (3) the Government should utilize unilateral export 
        controls on dual-use items and technologies that are critical 
        to the military capabilities of the Armed Forces (regardless of 
        the availability of such items or technologies overseas) with 
        respect to the countries that--
                    (A) pose a threat to the national security 
                interests of the United States; and

                decision of the United States; and
                    (ii) a justification for the decision not to 
                prohibit the export of the items to the country.

SEC. 1055. STRATEGIC COOPERATION BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES AND ISRAEL.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The President and Congress have repeatedly declared the 
        long-standing United States commitment to maintaining the 
        qualitative superiority of the Israel Defense Forces over any 
        combination of potential adversaries.
            (2) Congress continues to recognize the many benefits to 
        the United States from its strategic relationship with Israel, 
        including that of enhanced regional stability and technical 
        cooperation.
            (3) Despite the historic peace effort in which Israel and 
        its neighbors are engaged, Israel continues to face severe 
        potential threats to its national security that are compounded 
        by terrorism and by the proliferation of weapons of mass 
        destruction and ballistic missiles.
            (4) Congress supports enhanced United States cooperation 
        with Israel in all fields and, especially, in finding new ways 
        to deter or counter mutual threats.
    (b) United States Policy.--It shall be the policy of the United 
States that--
            (1) the President should ensure that any conventional 
        defense system or technology offered by the United States for 
        sale to any member nation of the North Atlantic Treaty 
        Organization (NATO) or to any major non-NATO ally is 
        concurrently made available for purchase by Israel unless the 
        President determines that it would not be in the national 
        security interests of the United States to do so; and
            (2) the President should make available to Israel, within 
        existing technology transfer laws, regulations, and policies, 
        advanced United States technology necessary for achieving 
        continued progress in cooperative United States-Israel research 
        and development of theater missile defenses.

SEC. 1056. SUPPORT SERVICES FOR THE NAVY AT THE PORT OF HAIFA, ISRAEL.

promptly undertake such actions as are necessary--
            (1) to improve the services available to the Navy at the 
        Port of Haifa, Israel; and
            (2) to ensure that the continuing increase in commercial 
        activities at the Port of Haifa does not adversely affect the 
        availability to the Navy of the services required by the Navy 
        at the port.

SEC. 1058. INTERNATIONAL MILITARY EDUCATION AND TRAINING.

    (a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) it is in the national security interest of the United 
        States to promote military professionalism (including an 
        understanding of and respect for the proper role of the 
        military in a civilian-led democratic society), the effective 
        management of defense resources, the recognition of 
        internationally recognized human rights, and an effective 
        military justice system within the armed forces of allies of 
        the United States and of countries friendly to the United 
        States;
            (2) it is in the national security interest of the United 
        States to foster rapport, understanding, and cooperation 
        between the Armed Forces of the United States and the armed 
        forces of allies of the United States and of countries friendly 
        to the United States;
            (3) the international military education and training 
        program is a low-cost method of promoting
         military professionalism within the armed forces of allies of 
the United States and of countries friendly to the United States and 
fostering better relations between the Armed Forces of the United 
States and those armed forces;
            (4) the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact 
        alliance and the spread of democracy in the Western Hemisphere 
        have created an opportunity to promote the military 
        professionalism of the armed forces of the affected nations;
            (5) funding for the international military education and 
        training program of the United States has decreased 
        dramatically in recent years;
            (6) the decrease in funding for the international military 
        education and training program has resulted in a major decrease 
        in the participation of personnel from Asia, Latin America, and 
        Africa in the program;
            (7) the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the 
        commanders in chief of the regional combatant commands have 
        consistently testified before congressional committees that the 
        international military education and training program fosters 
        cooperation with and improves military management, civilian 
        control over the military forces, and respect for human rights 
        within foreign military forces; and
            (8) the delegation by the President to the Secretary of 
        Defense of authority to perform functions relating to the 
        international military education and training program is 
        appropriate and should be continued.
    (b) Activities Authorized.--(1) Part I of subtitle A of title 10, 
United States Code, is amended by adding at the end the following:

        agreement.
    (2) The limitation in paragraph (1) does not apply to a use of 
funds to fulfill a policy of the United States to reimburse expenses

        the arms control agreement;
            (B) the President--
                    (i) issued or approved the policy before the date 
                of the enactment of this Act; or

                with the government of another country or has approved 
                an agreement on the policy entered into by an official

        by statute or approved by the Senate under Article II, section 
        2, clause 2 of the Constitution.

SEC. 1061. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON LIMITING THE PLACING OF UNITED STATES 
              FORCES UNDER UNITED NATIONS COMMAND OR CONTROL.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
            (1) the President has made United Nations peace operations 
        a major component of the foreign and security policies of the 
        United States;
            (2) the President has committed United States military 
        personnel under United Nations operational control to missions 
        in Haiti, Croatia, and Macedonia that could endanger those 
        personnel;
            (3) the President has committed the United States to deploy 
        as many as 25,000 military personnel to Bosnia-Herzegovina as 
        peacekeepers under United Nations command and control in the 
        event that the parties to that conflict reach a peace 
        agreement;
            (4) although the President has insisted that he will retain 
        command of United States forces at all times, in the past this 
        has meant administrative control of United States forces only, 
        while operational control has been ceded to United Nations 
        commanders, some of whom were foreign nationals;
            (5) the experience of United States forces participating in 
        combined United States-United Nations operations in Somalia, 
        and in combined United Nations-NATO operations in the former 
        Yugoslavia, demonstrate that prerequisites for effective 
        military operations such as unity of command and clarity of 
        mission have not been met by United Nations command and control 
        arrangements; and
            (6) despite the many deficiencies in the conduct of United 
        Nations peace operations, there may be occasions when it is in 
        the national security interests of the United States to 
        participate in such operations.
    (b) Policy.--It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) the President should consult closely with Congress 
        regarding any United Nations peace operation that could involve 
        United States combat forces, and that such consultations should 
        continue throughout the duration of such activities;
            (2) the President should consult with Congress prior to a 
        vote within the United Nations Security Council on any 
        resolution which would authorize, extend, or revise the 
        mandates for such activities;
            (3) in view of the complexity of United Nations peace 
        operations and the difficulty of achieving unity of command and 
        expeditious decisionmaking, the United States should 
        participate in such operations only when it is clearly in the 
        national security interest to do so;
            (4) United States combat forces should be under the 
        operational control of qualified commanders and should have 
        clear and effective command and control arrangements and rules 
        of engagement (which do not restrict their self-defense in any 
        way) and clear and unambiguous mission statements; and
            (5) none of the Armed Forces of the United States should be 
        under the operational control of foreign nationals in United 
        Nations peace enforcement operations except in the most 
        extraordinary circumstances.
    (c) Definitions.--For purposes of this section--
            (1) the term ``United Nations peace enforcement 
        operations'' means any international peace enforcement or 
        similar activity that is authorized by the United Nations 
        Security Council under chapter VII of the Charter of the United 
        Nations; and
            (2) the term ``United Nations peace operations'' means any 
        international peacekeeping, peacemaking, peace enforcement, or 
        similar activity that is authorized by the United Nations 
        Security Council under chapter VI or VII of the Charter of the 
        United Nations.
