SEC. 328. PROHIBITION OF IMPLEMENTATION OF TIERED READINESS SYSTEM.

    (a) Prohibition.--The Secretary of a military department may not 
implement, or be required to implement, a new readiness system for 
units of the Armed Forces (as outlined in sections 329 and 330), under 
which a military unit would be categorized into one of several 
categories (known as ``tiers'') according to the likelihood that the 
unit will be required to respond to a military conflict and the time in 
which the unit will be required to respond, if that system would have 
the effect of changing the methods used as of October 1, 1996, by the 
Armed Forces under the jurisdiction of that Secretary for determining 
the priorities for allocating to such military units funding, 
personnel, equipment, equipment maintenance, and training resources, 
and the associated levels of readiness of those units that result from 
those priorities.
    (b) Report to Congress Requesting Waiver.--If the Secretary of 
Defense determines, following the review required by sections 329 and 
330 (or any similar review), that implementation for one or more of the 
Armed Forces of a tiered readiness system that is prohibited by 
subsection (a) would be in the national security interests of the 
United States, the Secretary shall submit to Congress a report setting 
forth that determination, together with the rationale for that 
determination, and a request for the enactment of legislation to allow 
implementation of such a system.
    (c) Rule of Construction.--Nothing in subsection (a) is intended to 
preclude the Secretary of Defense from taking necessary actions to 
maintain the combat preparedness of the active and reserve components 
of the Armed Forces.

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff shall submit to the congressional 
defense committees a report on the military readiness requirements of 
the active and reserve components of the Armed Forces (including combat 
units, combat support units, and combat service support units). The 
report shall assess such requirements under a tiered readiness and 
response system that categorizes a given unit according to the 
likelihood that it will be required to respond to a military conflict 
and the time within which it will be required to respond.
    (b) Preparation by JCS and Commanders of Unified Commands.--The 
report required by subsection (a) shall be prepared jointly by the 
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the Chief of Staff of the Army, 
the Chief of Naval Operations, the Chief of Staff of the Air Force, the 
Commandant of the Marine Corps, the commander of the Special Operations 
Command, and the commanders of the other unified commands.
    (c) Assessment Scenario.--The report shall assess readiness 
requirements in a scenario that is based on the following assumptions:
        (1) That the Armed Forces of the United States must be capable 
    of--
            (A) fighting and winning, in concert with allies, two major 
        theater wars nearly simultaneously; and
            (B) deterring or defeating a strategic attack on the United 
        States.
        (2) That the forces available for deployment are the forces 
    included in the force structure recommended in the Quadrennial 
    Defense Review, including all other planned force enhancements.
    (d) Assessment Elements.--(1) The report shall identify, by unit 
type, all major units of the active and reserve components of the Armed 
Forces and assess the readiness requirements of the units. Each 
identified unit shall be categorized within one of the following 
classifications:
        (A) Forward-deployed and crisis response forces, or ``Tier I'' 
    forces, that possess limited internal sustainment capability and do 
    not require immediate access to regional air bases or ports or 
    overflight rights, including the following:
            (i) Force units that are deployed in rotation at sea or on 
        land outside the United States.
            (ii) Combat-ready crises response forces that are capable 
        of mobilizing and deploying within 10 days after receipt of 
        orders.
            (iii) Forces that are supported by prepositioning equipment 
        afloat or are capable of being inserted into a theater upon the 
        capture of a port or airfield by forcible entry forces.
        (B) Combat-ready follow-on forces, or ``Tier II'' forces, that 
    can be mobilized and deployed to a theater within approximately 60 
    days after receipt of orders.
        (C) Combat-ready conflict resolution forces, or ``Tier III'' 
    forces, that can be mobilized and deployed to a theater within 
    approximately 180 days after receipt of orders.
        (D) All other active and reserve component force units which 
    are not categorized within a classification described in 
    subparagraph (A), (B), or (C).
    (2) For the purposes of paragraph (1), the following units are 
major units:
        (A) In the case of the Army or Marine Corps, a brigade and a 
    battalion.
        (B) In the case of the Navy, a squadron of aircraft, a ship, 
    and a squadron of ships.
        (C) In the case of the Air Force, a squadron of aircraft.
    (e) Projection of Savings for Use for Modernization.--The report 
shall include a projection for fiscal years 1998 through 2003 of the 
amounts of the savings in operation and maintenance funding that--
        (1) could be derived by each of the Armed Forces by placing as 
    many units as is practicable into the lower readiness categories 
    among the tiers; and
        (2) could be made available for force modernization.
    (f) Form of Report.--The report under this section shall be 
submitted in unclassified form, but may contain a classified annex.
    (g) Planned Force Enhancement Defined.--In this section, the term 
``planned force enhancement'', with respect to the force structure 
recommended in the Quadrennial Defense Review, means any future 
improvement in the capability of the force (including current strategic 
and future improvement in strategic lift capability) that is assumed in 
the development of the recommendation for the force structure set forth 
in the Quadrennial Defense Review.

SEC. 330. ASSESSMENT OF CYCLICAL READINESS POSTURE OF THE ARMED FORCES.

    (a) Requirement.--(1) Not later than 120 days after the date of the 
enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall submit to 
Congress a report on the readiness posture of the Armed Forces 
described in subsection (b).
    (2) The Secretary shall prepare the report required under paragraph 
(1) with the assistance of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. In providing such 
assistance, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff shall consult 
with the Chief of the National Guard Bureau.
    (b) Readiness Posture.--(1) The readiness posture to be covered by 
the report under subsection (a) is a readiness posture for units of the 
Armed Forces, or for designated units of the Armed Forces, that 
provides for a rotation of such units between a state of high readiness 
and a state of low readiness.
    (2) As part of the evaluation of the readiness posture described in 
paragraph (1), the report shall address in particular a readiness 
posture that--
        (A) establishes within the Armed Forces two equivalent forces 
    each structured so as to be capable of fighting and winning a major 
    theater war; and
        (B) provides for an alternating rotation of such forces between 
    a state of high readiness and a state of low readiness.
    (3) The evaluation of the readiness posture described in paragraph 
(2) shall be based upon assumptions permitting comparison with the 
existing force structure as follows:
        (A) That there are assembled from among the units of the Armed 
    Forces two equivalent forces each structured so as to be capable of 
    fighting and winning a major theater war.
        (B) That each force referred to in subparagraph (A) includes--
            (i) four active Army divisions, including one mechanized 
        division, one armored division, one light infantry division, 
        and one division combining airborne units and air assault 
        units, and appropriate support and service support units for 
        such divisions;
            (ii) six divisions (or division equivalents) of the Army 
        National Guard or the Army Reserve that are essentially 
        equivalent in structure, and appropriate support and service 
        support units for such divisions;
            (iii) six aircraft carrier battle groups;
            (iv) six active Air Force fighter wings (or fighter wing 
        equivalents);
            (v) four Air Force reserve fighter wings (or fighter wing 
        equivalents); and
            (vi) one active Marine Corps expeditionary force.
        (C) That each force may be supplemented by critical units or 
    units in short supply, including heavy bomber units, strategic lift 
    units, and aerial reconnaissance units, that are not subject to the 
    readiness rotation otherwise assumed for purposes of the evaluation 
    or are subject to the rotation on a modified basis.
        (D) That units of the Armed Forces not assigned to a force are 
    available for operations other than those essential to fight and 
    win a major theater war, including peace operations.
        (E) That the state of readiness of each force alternates 
    between a state of high readiness and a state of low readiness on a 
    frequency determined by the Secretary (but not more often than once 
    every six months) and with only one force at a given state of 
    readiness at any one time.
        (F) That, during the period of state of high readiness of a 
    force, any operations or activities (including leave and education 
    and training of personnel) that detract from the near-term wartime 
    readiness of the force are temporary and their effects on such 
    state of readiness minimized.
        (G) That units are assigned overseas during the period of state 
    of high readiness of the force to which the units are assigned 
    primarily on a temporary duty basis.
        (H) That, during the period of high readiness of a force, the 
    operational war plans for the force incorporate the divisions (or 
    division equivalents) of the Army Reserve or Army National Guard 
    assigned to the force in a manner such that one such division (or 
    division equivalent) is, on a rotating basis for such divisions (or 
    division equivalents) during the period, maintained in a high state 
    of readiness and dedicated as the first reserve combat division to 
    be transferred overseas in the event of a major theater war.
    (c) Report Elements.--The report under this section shall include 
the following elements for the readiness posture described in 
subsection (b)(2):
        (1) An estimate of the range of cost savings achievable over 
    the long term as a result of implementing the readiness posture, 
    including--
            (A) the savings achievable from reduced training levels and 
        readiness levels during periods in which a force referred to in 
        subsection (b)(3)(A) is in a state of low readiness; and
            (B) the savings achievable from reductions in costs of 
        infrastructure overseas as a result of reduced permanent change 
        of station rotations.
        (2) An assessment of the potential risks associated with a 
    lower readiness status for units assigned to a force in a state of 
    low readiness under the readiness posture, including the risks 
    associated with the delayed availability of such units overseas in 
    the event of two nearly simultaneous major theater wars.
        (3) An assessment of the potential risks associated with 
    requiring the forces under the readiness posture to fight a major 
    war in any theater worldwide.
        (4) An assessment of the modifications of the current force 
    structure of the Armed Forces that are necessary to achieve the 
    range of cost savings estimated under paragraph (1), including the 
    extent of the diminishment, if any, of the military capabilities of 
    the Armed Forces as a result of the modifications.
        (5) An assessment whether or not the risks of diminished 
    military capability associated with implementation of the readiness 
    posture exceed the risks of diminished military capability 
    associated with the modifications of the current force structure 
    necessary to achieve cost savings equivalent to the best case for 
    cost savings resulting from the implementation of the readiness 
    posture.
    (d) Form of Report.--The report under this section shall be 
submitted in unclassified form, but may contain a classified annex.
    (e) Definitions.--In this section:
        (1) The term ``state of high readiness'', in the case of a 
    military force, means the capability to mobilize first-to-arrive 
    units of the force within 18 hours and last-to-arrive units within 
    120 days of a particular event.
        (2) The term ``state of low readiness'', in the case of a 
    military force, means the capability to mobilize first-to-arrive 
    units within 90 days and last-to-arrive units within 180 days of a 
    particular event.

            (A) the work involves unique or valuable workforce skills 
        that should be maintained in the public sector in the national 
        interest;
            (B) the base of private sector sources having the 
        capability to perform the workloads includes industry sectors 
        that are vulnerable to work stoppages;
            (C) the private sector sources having the capability to 
        perform the workloads have insufficient workforce levels or 
        skills to perform the depot-level maintenance and repair 
        workloads--
                (i) in the quantity necessary, or as rapidly as the 
            Secretary considers necessary, to enable the armed forces

        infrequent, cyclical, or variable to sustain a reliable base of 
        private sector sources having the workforce levels or skills to 
        perform the workloads;
            (E) the market conditions or workloads are insufficient to 
        ensure that the price of private sector performance of the 
        workloads can be controlled through competition or other means;
            (F) private sector sources are not adequately responsive to 
        the requirements of the Department for rapid, cost-effective, 
        and flexible response to surge requirements or other 
        contingency situations, including changes in the mix or 
        priority of previously scheduled workloads and reassignment of 
        employees to different workloads without the requirement for 
        additional contractual negotiations;
            (G) private sector sources are less willing to assume 
        responsibility for performing the workload as a result of the 
        possibility of direct military or terrorist attack; or
            (H) private sector sources cannot maintain continuity of 
        workforce expertise as a result of high rates of employee 
        turnover.
        (2) The systems or equipment identified under subsection (a) 
    that must be maintained and repaired in Government-owned 
    facilities, whether Government-operated or contractor-operated, as 
    a result of the Secretary's determination that--
            (A) the work involves facilities, technologies, or 
        equipment that are unique and sufficiently valuable that the 
        facilities, technologies, or equipment must be maintained in 
        the public sector in the national interest;
            (B) the private sector sources having the capability to 
        perform the workloads have insufficient facilities, technology, 
        or equipment to perform the depot-level maintenance and repair 
        workloads--
                (i) in the quantity necessary, or as rapidly as the 
            Secretary considers necessary, to enable the armed forces 
            to fulfill the national military strategy; or
                (ii) without a significant disruption or delay in the 
            maintenance and repair of equipment; or
            (C) the need for performance of workloads is too 
        infrequent, cyclical, or variable to sustain a reliable base of 
        private sector sources having the facilities, technology, or 
        equipment to perform the workloads.
        (3) The systems or equipment identified under subsection (a) 
    that may be maintained and repaired in private sector facilities.
        (4) The approximate percentage of the total maintenance and 
    repair workload of the Department of Defense necessary for the

SEC. 366. REVIEW OF USE OF TEMPORARY DUTY ASSIGNMENTS FOR SHIP REPAIR 
              AND MAINTENANCE.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
        (1) In order to reduce the time that the crew of a naval vessel 
    is away from the homeport of the vessel, the Navy seeks to perform 
    ship repair and maintenance of the vessel at the homeport of the 
    vessel whenever it takes six months or less to accomplish the work 
    involved.
        (2) At the same time, the Navy seeks to distribute ship repair 
    and maintenance work among the Navy shipyards (known as to ``level 
    load'') in order to more fully utilize personnel resources.
        (3) During periods when a Navy shipyard is not utilized to its 
    capacity, the Navy sometimes sends workers at the shipyard, on a 
    temporary duty basis, to perform ship repairs and maintenance at a 
    homeport not having a Navy shipyard.
        (4) This practice is a more efficient use of civilian employees 
    who might otherwise not be fully employed on work assigned to Navy 
    shipyards.
    (b) Comptroller General Review and Report.--(1) The Comptroller 
General shall review the Navy's practice of using temporary duty 
assignments of personnel to perform ship maintenance and repair work at 
homeports not having Navy shipyards. The review shall include the 
following:
        (A) An assessment of the rationale, conditions, and factors 
    supporting the Navy's practice.
        (B) A determination of whether the practice is cost-effective.
        (C) The factors affecting future requirements for, and the 
    adherence to, the practice, together with an assessment of the 
    factors.
    (2) Not later than May 1, 1998, the Comptroller General 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.

    (2) The plan shall provide for achieving, by September 30, 2002, a 
50 percent reduction, by conversion of positions or otherwise, in the

attrition among recruits.
    (b) Specific Reforms.--As part of the reforms in military 
recruiting systems to be undertaken under subsection (a), the Secretary 
shall take the following steps:
        (1) Improve the system of pre-enlistment waivers and separation 
    codes used for recruits by (A) revising and updating those waivers 
    and codes to allow more accurate and useful data collection about 
    those separations, and (B) prescribing regulations to ensure that 
    those waivers and codes are interpreted in a uniform manner by the 
    military services.
        (2) Develop a reliable database for (A) analyzing (at both the 
    Department of Defense and service-level) data on reasons for 
    attrition of new recruits, and (B) undertaking Department of 
    Defense or service-specific measures (or both) to control and 
    manage such attrition.
        (3) Require that the Secretary of each military department (A) 
    adopt or strengthen incentives for recruiters to thoroughly 
    prescreen potential candidates for recruitment, and (B) link 
    incentives for recruiters, in part, to the ability of a recruiter 
    to screen out unqualified candidates before enlistment.
        (4) Require that the Secretary of each military department 
    include as a measurement of recruiter performance the percentage of 
    persons enlisted by a recruiter who complete initial combat 
    training or basic training.
        (5) Assess trends in the number and use of waivers over the 
    1991-1997 period that were issued to permit applicants to enlist 
    with medical or other conditions that would otherwise be 
    disqualifying.
        (6) Require the Secretary of each military department to 
    implement policies and procedures (A) to ensure the prompt 
    separation of recruits who are unable to successfully complete 
    basic training, and (B) to remove those recruits from the training 
    environment while separation proceedings are pending.
    (c) Report.--Not later than March 31, 1998, the Secretary shall 
submit to Congress a report of the trends assessed under subsection 
(b)(5). The information on those trends provided in the report shall be 
shown by armed force and by category of waiver. The report shall 
include recommendations of the Secretary for changing, revising, or 
limiting the use of waivers referred to in that subsection.

shall take the following steps:
        (1) Require that each applicant for service in the Army, Navy, 
    Air Force, or Marine Corps (A) provide to the Secretary the name of 
    the applicant's medical insurer and the names of past medical 
    providers, and (B) sign a release allowing the Secretary to request 
    and obtain medical records of the applicant.
        (2) Require that the forms and procedures for medical 
    prescreening of applicants that are used by recruiters and by 
    Military Entrance Processing Commands be revised so as to ensure 
    that medical questions are specific, unambiguous, and tied directly 
    to the types of medical separations most common for recruits during 
    basic training and follow-on training.
        (3) Add medical screening tests to the examinations of recruits 
    carried out by Military Entrance Processing Stations, provide more 
    thorough medical examinations to selected groups of applicants, or 
    both, to the extent that the Secretary determines that to do so 
    could be cost effective in reducing attrition at basic training.
        (4) Provide for an annual quality control assessment of the 
    effectiveness of the Military Entrance Processing Commands in 
    identifying medical conditions in recruits that existed before 
    enlistment in the Armed Forces, each such assessment to be 
    performed by an agency or contractor other than the Military 
    Entrance Processing Commands.

SEC. 533. IMPROVEMENTS IN PHYSICAL FITNESS OF RECRUITS.

    (a) In General.--The Secretary of Defense shall take steps to 
improve the physical fitness of recruits before they enter basic 
training.
    (b) Specific Steps.--As part of those improvements, the Secretary 
shall take the following steps:
        (1) Direct the Secretary of each military department to 
    implement programs under which new recruits who are in the Delayed 
    Entry Program are encouraged to participate in physical fitness 
    activities before reporting to basic training.
        (2) Develop a range of incentives for new recruits to 
    participate in physical fitness programs, as well as for those 
    recruits who improve their level of fitness while in the Delayed 
    Entry Program, which may include access to Department of Defense 
    military fitness facilities, and access to military medical 
    facilities in the case of a recruit who is injured while 
    participating in physical activities with recruiters or other 
    military personnel.
        (3) Evaluate whether partnerships between recruiters and 
    reserve components, or other innovative arrangements, could provide 
    a pool of qualified personnel to assist in the conduct of physical 
    training programs for new recruits in the Delayed Entry Program.

SEC. 544. CONTINUATION OF SUPPORT TO SENIOR MILITARY COLLEGES.

    (a) Definition of Senior Military Colleges.--For purposes of this 
section, the term ``senior military colleges'' means the following:
        (1) Texas A&M University.
        (2) Norwich University.
        (3) The Virginia Military Institute.
        (4) The Citadel.
        (5) Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University.
        (6) North Georgia College and State University.
    (b) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
        (1) The senior military colleges consistently have provided 
    substantial numbers of highly qualified, long-serving leaders to 
    the Armed Forces.
        (2) The quality of the military leaders produced by the senior 
    military colleges is, in part, the result of the rigorous military 
    environment imposed on students attending the senior military 
    colleges by the colleges, as well as the result of the long-
    standing close support relationship between the Corps of Cadets at 
    each college and the Reserve Officer Training Corps personnel at 
    the colleges who serve as effective leadership role models and 
    mentors.
        (3) In recognition of the quality of the young leaders produced 
    by the senior military colleges, the Department of Defense and the 
    military services have traditionally maintained special 
    relationships with the colleges, including the policy to grant 
    active duty service in the Army to graduates of the colleges who 
    desire such service and who are recommended for such service by 
    their ROTC professors of military science.
        (4) Each of the senior military colleges has demonstrated an 
    ability to adapt its systems and operations to changing conditions 
    in, and requirements of, the Armed Forces without compromising the 
    quality of leaders produced and without interruption of the close 
    relationship between the colleges and the Department of Defense.
    (c) Sense of Congress.--In light of the findings in subsection (b), 
it is the sense of Congress that--
        (1) the proposed initiative of the Secretary of the Army to end 
    the commitment to active duty service for all graduates of senior 
    military colleges who desire such service and who are recommended 
    for such service by their ROTC professors of military science is 
    short-sighted and contrary to the long-term interests of the Army;
        (2) as they have in the past, the senior military colleges can 
    and will continue to accommodate to changing military requirements 
    to ensure that future graduates entering military service continue 
    to be officers of superb quality who are quickly assimilated by the 
    Armed Forces and fully prepared to make significant contributions 
    to the Armed Forces through extended military careers; and
        (3) decisions of the Secretary of Defense or the Secretary of a 
    military department that fundamentally and unilaterally change the 
    long-standing relationship of the Armed Forces with the senior 
    military colleges are not in the best interests of the Department 
    of Defense or the Armed Forces and are patently unfair to students 
    who made decisions to enroll in the senior military colleges on the 
    basis of existing Department and Armed Forces policy.
    (d) Continuation of Support for Senior Military Colleges.--Section 
2111a of title 10, United States Code, is amended--
        (1) by redesignating subsection (d) as subsection (f); and
        (2) by inserting after subsection (c) the following new 
    subsections:
    ``(d) Termination or Reduction of Program Prohibited.--The 
Secretary of Defense and the Secretaries of the military departments 
may not take or authorize any action to terminate or reduce a unit of 
the Senior Reserve Officers' Training Corps at a senior military 
college unless the termination or reduction is specifically requested 
by the college.
    ``(e) Assignment to Active Duty.--(1) The Secretary of the Army 
shall ensure that a graduate of a senior military college who desires 
to serve as a commissioned officer on active duty upon graduation from 
the college, who is medically and physically qualified for active duty, 
and who is recommended for such duty by the professor of military 
science at the college, shall be assigned to active duty. This 
paragraph shall apply to a member of the program at a senior military 
college who graduates from the college after March 31, 1997.
    ``(2) Nothing in this section shall be construed to prohibit the 
Secretary of the Army from requiring a member of the program who 
graduates from a senior military college to serve on active duty.''.
    (e) Technical Corrections.--Subsection (f) of such section, as 
redesignated by subsection (d)(1), is amended--
        (1) in paragraph (2), by striking out ``College'' and inserting 
    in lieu thereof ``University''; and
        (2) in paragraph (6), by inserting before the period the 
    following: ``and State University''.
    (f) Clerical Amendments.--(1) The heading of such section is 
amended to read as follows:

``Sec. 2111a. Support for senior military colleges''.

    (2) The item relating to such section in the table of sections at 
the beginning of chapter 103 of title 10, United States Code, is 
amended to read as follows:
``2111a. Support for senior military colleges.''.

        (1) A brief history of the prior admission of United States 
    nationals to the Senior Reserve Officers' Training Corps, including 
    the success rate of these cadets and midshipmen and how that rate 
    compared to the average success rate of cadets and midshipmen 
    during that same period.
        (2) The advantages of permitting United States nationals to 
    participate in the Senior Reserve Officers' Training Corps program.
        (3) The disadvantages of permitting United States nationals to 
    participate in the Senior Reserve Officers' Training Corps program.
        (4) The incremental cost of including United States nationals 
    in the Senior Reserve Officers' Training Corps.
        (5) Methods of minimizing the risk that United States nationals 
    admitted to the Senior Reserve Officers' Training Corps would be 
    later disqualified because of ineligibility for United States 
    citizenship.
        (6) The recommendations of the Secretary on whether United 
    States nationals should be eligible to participate in the Senior 
    Reserve Officers' Training Corps program, and if so, a legislative 
    proposal which would, if enacted, achieve that result.

SEC. 546. COORDINATION OF ESTABLISHMENT AND MAINTENANCE OF JUNIOR

shall take into consideration--

               PART III--TRAINING OF ARMY DRILL SERGEANTS

SEC. 556. REFORM OF ARMY DRILL SERGEANT SELECTION AND TRAINING PROCESS.

    (a) In General.--The Secretary of the Army shall reform the process 
for selection and training of drill sergeants for the Army.
    (b) Measures To Be Taken.--As part of such reform, the Secretary 
shall undertake the following measures (unless, in the case of any such 
measure, the Secretary determines that that measure would not result in 
improved effectiveness and efficiency in the drill sergeant selection 
and training process):
        (1) Review the overall process used by the Department of the 
    Army for selection of drill sergeants to determine--
            (A) whether that process is providing drill sergeant 
        candidates in sufficient quantity and quality to meet the needs 
        of the training system; and
            (B) whether duty as a drill sergeant is a career-enhancing 
        assignment (or is seen by potential drill sergeant candidates 
        as a career-enhancing assignment) and what steps could be taken 
        to ensure that such duty is in fact a career-enhancing 
        assignment.
        (2) Incorporate into the selection process for all drill 
    sergeants the views and recommendations of the officers and senior 
    noncommissioned officers in the chain of command of each candidate 
    for selection (particularly those of senior noncommissioned 
    officers) regarding the candidate's suitability and qualifications 
    to be a drill sergeant.
        (3) Establish a requirement for psychological screening for 
    each drill sergeant candidate.
        (4) Reform the psychological screening process for drill 
    sergeant candidates to improve the quality, depth, and rigor of 
    that screening process.
        (5) Revise the evaluation system for drill sergeants in 
    training to provide for a so-called ``whole person'' assessment 
    that gives insight into the qualifications and suitability of a 
    drill sergeant candidate beyond the candidate's ability to 
    accomplish required performance tasks.
        (6) Revise the Army military personnel records system so that, 
    under conditions and circumstances to be specified in regulations 
    prescribed by the Secretary, a drill sergeant trainee who fails to 
    complete the training to be a drill sergeant and is denied 
    graduation will not have the fact of that failure recorded in those 
    personnel records.
        (7) Provide each drill sergeant in training with the 
    opportunity, before or during that training, to work with new 
    recruits in initial entry training and to be evaluated on that 
    opportunity.
    (c) Report.--Not later than March 31, 1998, the Secretary shall 
submit to the Committee on National Security of the House of 
Representatives and the Committee on Armed Services of the Senate a 
report of the reforms adopted pursuant to this section or, in the case 
of any measure specified in any of paragraphs (1) through (7) of 
subsection (b) that was not adopted, the rationale why that measure was 
not adopted.

SEC. 562. DUTIES.

    (a) Functions Relating to Requirements and Restrictions Regarding 
Cross-Gender Relationships.--The commission shall consider issues 
relating to personal relationships of members of the Armed Forces as 
follows:
        (1) Review the laws, regulations, policies, directives, and 
    practices that govern personal relationships between men and women 
    in the Armed Forces and personal relationships between members of 
    the Armed Forces and non-military personnel of the opposite sex.
        (2) Assess the extent to which the laws, regulations, policies, 
    and directives have been applied consistently throughout the Armed 
    Forces without regard to the armed force, grade, rank, or gender of 
    the individuals involved.
        (3) Assess the reports of the independent panel, the Department 
    of Defense task force, and the review of existing guidance on 
    fraternization and adultery that have been required by the 
    Secretary of Defense.
    (b) Functions Relating to Gender-Integrated and Gender-Segregated 
Basic Training.--(1) The commission shall review the parts of the 
initial entry training programs of the Army, Navy, Air Force, and 
Marine Corps that constitute the basic training of new recruits (in 
this subtitle referred to as ``basic training''). The review shall 
include a review of the basic training policies and practices of each 
of those services with regard to gender-integrated and gender-
segregated basic training and, for each of the services, the 
effectiveness of gender-integrated and gender-segregated basic 
training.
    (2) As part of the review under paragraph (1), the commission shall 
(with respect to each of the services) take the following measures:
        (A) Determine how each service defines gender-integration and 
    gender-segregation in the context of basic training.
        (B) Determine the historical rationales for the establishment 
    and disestablishment of gender-integrated or gender-segregated 
    basic training.
        (C) Examine, with respect to each service, the current 
    rationale for the use of gender-integrated or gender-segregated 
    basic training and the rationale that was current as of the time 
    the service made a decision to integrate, or to segregate, basic 
    training by gender (or as of the time of the most recent decision 
    to continue to use a gender-integrated format or a gender-
    segregated format for basic training), and, as part of the 
    examination, evaluate whether at the time of that decision, the 
    Secretary of the military department with jurisdiction over that 
    service had substantive reason to believe, or has since developed 
    data to support, that gender-integrated basic training, or gender-
    segregated basic training, improves the readiness or performance of 
    operational units.
        (D) Assess whether the concept of ``training as you will 
    fight'' is a valid rationale for gender-integrated basic training 
    or whether the training requirements and objectives for basic 
    training are sufficiently different from those of operational units 
    so that such concept, when balanced against other factors relating 
    to basic training, might not be a sufficient rationale for gender-
    integrated basic training.
        (E) Identify the requirements unique to each service that could 
    affect a decision by the Secretary concerned to adopt a gender-
    integrated or gender-segregated format for basic training and 
    assess whether the format in use by each service has been 
    successful in meeting those requirements.
        (F) Assess, with respect to each service, the degree to which 
    different standards have been established, or if not established 
    are in fact being implemented, for males and females in basic 
    training for matters such as physical fitness, physical performance 
    (such as confidence and obstacle courses), military skills (such as 
    marksmanship and hand-grenade qualifications), and nonphysical 
    tasks required of individuals and, to the degree that differing 
    standards exist or are in fact being implemented, assess the effect 
    of the use of those differing standards.
        (G) Identify the goals that each service has set forth in 
    regard to readiness, in light of the gender-integrated or gender-
    segregated format that such service has adopted for basic training, 
    and whether that format contributes to the readiness of operational 
    units.
        (H) Assess the degree to which performance standards in basic 
    training are based on military readiness.
        (I) Evaluate the policies of each of the services regarding the 
    assignment of adequate numbers of female drill instructors in 
    gender-integrated training units who can serve as role models and 
    mentors for female trainees.
        (J) Review Department of Defense and military department 
    efforts to objectively measure or evaluate the effectiveness of 
    gender-integrated basic training, as compared to gender-segregated 
    basic training, particularly with regard to the adequacy and scope 
    of the efforts and with regard to the relevancy of findings to 
    operational unit requirements, and determine whether the Department 
    of Defense and the military departments are capable of measuring or 
    evaluating the effectiveness of that training format objectively.
        (K) Compare the pattern of attrition in gender-integrated basic 
    training units with the pattern of attrition in gender-segregated 
    basic training units and assess the relevancy of the findings of 
    such comparison.
        (L) Compare the level of readiness and morale of gender-
    integrated basic training units with the level of readiness and 
    morale of gender-segregated units, and assess the relevancy of the 
    findings of such comparison and the implications, for readiness, of 
    any differences found.
        (M) Compare the experiences, policies, and practices of the 
    armed forces of other industrialized nations regarding gender-
    integrated training with those of the Army, Navy, Air Force, and 
    Marine Corps.
        (N) Review, and take into consideration, the current practices, 
    relevant studies, and private sector training concepts pertaining 
    to gender-integrated training.
        (O) Assess the feasibility and implications of conducting basic 
    training (or equivalent training) at the company level and below 
    through separate units for male and female recruits, including the 
    costs and other resource commitments required to implement and 
    conduct basic training in such a manner and the implications for 
    readiness and unit cohesion.
        (P) Assess the feasibility and implications of requiring drill 
    instructors for basic training units to be of the same sex as the 
    recruits in those units if the basic training were to be conducted 
    as described in subparagraph (O).
    (c) Functions Relating to Basic Training Programs Generally.--The 
commission shall review the course objectives, structure, and length of 
the basic training programs of the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine 
Corps. The commission shall also review the relationship between those 
basic training objectives and the advanced training provided in the 
initial entry training programs of each of those services. As part of 
that review, the commission shall (with respect to each of those 
services) take the following measures:
        (1) Determine the current end-state objectives established for 
    graduates of basic training, particularly in regard to--
            (A) physical conditioning;
            (B) technical and physical skills proficiency;
            (C) knowledge;
            (D) military socialization, including the inculcation of 
        service values and attitudes; and
            (E) basic combat operational requirements.
        (2) Assess whether those current end-state objectives, and 
    basic training itself, should be modified (in structure, length, 
    focus, program of instruction, training methods or otherwise) 
    based, in part, on the following:
            (A) An assessment of the perspectives of operational units 
        on the quality and qualifications of the initial entry training 
        graduates being assigned to those units, considering in 
        particular whether the basic training system produces graduates 
        who arrive in operational units with an appropriate level of 
        skills, physical conditioning, and degree of military 
        socialization to meet unit requirements and needs.
            (B) An assessment of the demographics, backgrounds, 
        attitudes, experience, and physical fitness of new recruits 
        entering basic training, considering in particular the question 
        of whether, given the entry level demographics, education, and 
        background of new recruits, the basic training systems and 
        objectives are most efficiently and effectively structured and 
        conducted to produce graduates who meet service needs.
            (C) An assessment of the perspectives of personnel who 
        conduct basic training with regard to measures required to 
        improve basic training.
        (3) Assess the extent to which the initial entry training 
    programs of each of the services continue, after the basic training 
    phases of the programs, effectively to reinforce and advance the 
    military socialization (including the inculcation of service values 
    and attitudes), the physical conditioning, and the attainment and 
    improvement of knowledge and proficiency in fundamental military 
    skills that are begun in basic training.
    (d) Recommendations.--The commission shall prepare--
        (1) with respect to each of the Army, Navy, Air Force, and 
    Marine Corps, an evaluation of gender-integrated and gender-
    segregated basic training programs, based upon the review under 
    subsection (b);
        (2) recommendations for such changes to the current system of 
    basic training as the commission considers warranted; and

        absence, while confined in a hospital, or while performing 
        travel under orders away from the member's designated post of 
        duty other than field duty or sea duty (as defined in 
        regulations prescribed by the Secretary of Defense). For 
        purposes of the preceding sentence, a member shall not be 
        considered to be performing travel under orders away from his 
        designated post of duty if such member--
                (i) is an enlisted member serving the member's first 
            tour of active duty;
                (ii) has not actually reported to a permanent duty 
            station pursuant to orders directing such assignment; and
                (iii) is not actually traveling between stations 
            pursuant to orders directing a change of station.
            (C) Advance payment.--The allowance to an enlisted member, 
        when authorized, may be paid in advance for a period of not 
        more than three months.
        (2) Officers.--An officer of a uniformed service who is 
    entitled to basic pay is, at all times, entitled to the basic 
    allowances for subsistence. An aviation cadet of the Navy, Air 
    Force, Marine Corps, or Coast Guard is entitled to the same basic 
    allowance for subsistence as is provided for an officer of the 
    Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, or Coast Guard, respectively.
    (e) Transitional Authority for Partial Allowance.--
        (1) Enlisted members furnished subsistence in kind.--The 
    Secretary of Defense may provide in regulations for an enlisted 
    member of a uniformed service to be paid a partial basic allowance 
    for subsistence when--
            (A) rations in kind are available to the member;
            (B) the member is not granted permission to mess 
        separately; or
            (C) the member is assigned to duty under emergency 
        conditions where messing facilities of the United States are 
        available.
        (2) Monthly payment.--Any partial basic allowance for 
    subsistence authorized under paragraph (1) shall be calculated on a 
    daily basis and paid on a monthly basis.
    (f) Transitional Rates.--
        (1) Allowance for officers.--The monthly rate of basic 
    allowance for subsistence for a year (beginning on January 1 of 
    that year) that is payable to officers of the uniformed services 
    shall be the amount that is equal to 101 percent of the rate of 
    basic allowance for subsistence that was payable to officers of the 
    uniformed services for the preceding year.
        (2) Allowance for enlisted member with permission to mess 
    separately.--The monthly rate of basic allowance for subsistence 
    for a year (beginning on January 1 of that year) that is payable to 
    an enlisted member of the uniformed services entitled to the 
    allowance under subsection (d)(1) shall be the amount that is equal 
    to 101 percent of the rate of basic allowance for subsistence that 
    was in effect for similarly situated enlisted members of the 
    uniformed services for the preceding year.
        (3) Partial allowance for other enlisted members.--The monthly 
    rate of any partial basic allowance for subsistence for a year 
    (beginning on January 1 of that year) payable to an enlisted member 
    of the uniformed services eligible for the allowance under the 
    regulations prescribed under subsection (e)(1) shall be the amount 
    equal to the lesser of the following:
            (A) The sum of--
                (i) the partial basic allowance for subsistence in 
            effect for the preceding year; and
                (ii) the amount equal to the difference, if any, 
            between--

                    (I) the monthly equivalent of the rate of basic 
                allowance for subsistence that was in effect for the 
                preceding year for members of the uniformed services 
                above grade E-1 (when permission to mess separately is 
                granted), increased by the same percentage by which the 
                rates of basic pay for members of the uniformed 
                services is increased for the current year; and
                    (II) the amount equal to 101 percent of the monthly 
                equivalent of the rate of basic allowance for 
                subsistence that was in effect for the previous year 
                for members of the uniformed services above grade E-1 
                (when permission to mess separately is granted),

            with the amount so determined under this clause multiplied 
            by the number of members estimated to be entitled to 
            receive basic allowance for subsistence under subsection 
            (d) for the current year and then divided by the number of 
            members estimated to be eligible for the partial allowance 
            under the regulations prescribed under subsection (e)(1) 
            for that year.
            (B) The amount equal to the difference between--
                (i) the amount that, except for subsection (c)(1)(A), 
            would otherwise be the monthly rate of basic allowance for 
            subsistence for enlisted members under section 402(b)(1) of 
            title 37, United States Code; and
                (ii) the amount equal to the monthly equivalent of the 
            value of a daily ration, as determined by the Under 
            Secretary of Defense (Comptroller) as of October 1 of the 
            preceding year.
    (g) Effective Date.--This section and the amendments made by this 
section shall take effect on January 1, 1998.

SEC. 603. CONSOLIDATION OF BASIC ALLOWANCE FOR QUARTERS, VARIABLE 
              HOUSING ALLOWANCE, AND OVERSEAS HOUSING ALLOWANCES.

    (a) Consolidation of Allowances.--Section 403 of title 37, United 
States Code, is amended to read as follows:

``Sec. 403. Basic allowance for housing

    ``(a) General Entitlement.--(1) Except as otherwise provided by 
law, a member of a uniformed service who is entitled to basic pay is 
entitled to a basic allowance for housing at the monthly rates 
prescribed under this section or another provision of law with regard 
to the applicable component of the basic allowance for housing. The 
amount of the basic allowance for housing for a member will vary 
according to the pay grade in which the member is assigned or 
distributed for basic pay purposes, the dependency status of the 
member, and the geographic location of the member. The basic allowance 
for housing may be paid in advance.
    ``(2) A member of a uniformed service with dependents is not 
entitled to a basic allowance for housing as a member with dependents 
unless the member makes a certification to the Secretary concerned 
indicating the status of each dependent of the member. The 
certification shall be made in accordance with regulations prescribed 
by the Secretary of Defense.
    ``(b) Basic Allowance for Housing Inside the United States.--(1) 
The Secretary of Defense shall determine the costs of adequate housing 
in a military housing area in the United States for all members of the 
uniformed services entitled to a basic allowance for housing in that 
area. The Secretary shall base the determination upon the costs of 
adequate housing for civilians with comparable income levels in the 
same area.
    ``(2) Subject to paragraph (3), the monthly amount of a basic 
allowance for housing for an area of the United States for a member of 
a uniformed service is equal to the difference between--
        ``(A) the monthly cost of adequate housing in that area, as 
    determined by the Secretary of Defense, for members of the 
    uniformed services serving in the same pay grade and with the same 
    dependency status as the member; and
        ``(B) 15 percent of the national average monthly cost of 
    adequate housing in the United States, as determined by the 
    Secretary, for members of the uniformed services serving in the 
    same pay grade and with the same dependency status as the member.
    ``(3) The rates of basic allowance for housing shall be reduced as 
necessary to comply with this paragraph. The total amount that may be 
paid for a fiscal year for the basic allowance for housing under this 
subsection is the product of--
        ``(A) the total amount authorized to be paid for such allowance 
    for the preceding fiscal year (as adjusted under paragraph (5)); 
    and
        ``(B) a fraction--
            ``(i) the numerator of which is the index of the national 
        average monthly cost of housing for June of the preceding 
        fiscal year; and
            ``(ii) the denominator of which is the index of the 
        national average monthly cost of housing for June of the fiscal 
        year before the preceding fiscal year.
    ``(4) An adjustment in the rates of the basic allowance for housing 
under this subsection as a result of the Secretary's redetermination of 
housing costs in an area shall take effect on the same date as the 
effective date of the next increase in basic pay under section 1009 of 
this title or other provision of law.
    ``(5) In making a determination under paragraph (3) for a fiscal 
year, the amount authorized to be paid for the preceding fiscal year 
for the basic allowance for housing shall be adjusted to reflect 
changes during the year for which the determination is made in the 
number, grade distribution, geographic distribution in the United 
States, and dependency status of members of the uniformed services 
entitled to the allowance from the number of such members during the 
preceding fiscal year.
    ``(6) So long as a member of a uniformed service retains 
uninterrupted eligibility to receive a basic allowance for housing 
within an area of the United States, the monthly amount of the 
allowance for the member may not be reduced as a result of changes in 
housing costs in the area, changes in the national average monthly cost 
of housing, or the promotion of the member.
    ``(7) In the case of a member without dependents who is assigned to 
duty inside the United States, the location or the circumstances of 
which make it necessary that the member be reassigned under the 
conditions of low-cost or no-cost permanent change of station or 
permanent change of assignment, the member may be treated as if the 
member were not reassigned if the Secretary concerned determines that 
it would be inequitable to base the member's entitlement to, and amount 
of, a basic allowance for housing on the cost of housing in the area to 
which the member is reassigned.
    ``(c) Basic Allowance for Housing Outside the United States.--(1) 
The Secretary of Defense may prescribe an overseas basic allowance for 
housing for a member of a uniformed service who is on duty outside of 
the United States. The Secretary shall establish the basic allowance 
for housing under this subsection on the basis of housing costs in the 
overseas area in which the member is assigned.
    ``(2) So long as a member of a uniformed service retains 
uninterrupted eligibility to receive a basic allowance for housing in 
an overseas area and the actual monthly cost of housing for the member 
is not reduced, the monthly amount of the allowance in an area outside 
the United States may not be reduced as a result of changes in housing 
costs in the area or the promotion of the member. The monthly amount of 
the allowance may be adjusted to reflect changes in currency rates.
    ``(d) Basic Allowance for Housing When Dependents Are Unable To 
Accompany Member.--(1) A member of a uniformed service with dependents 
who is on permanent duty at a location described in paragraph (2) is 
entitled to a family separation basic allowance for housing under this 
subsection at a monthly rate equal to the rate of the basic allowance 
for housing established under subsection (b) or the overseas basic 
allowance for housing established under subsection (c), whichever 
applies to that location, for members in the same grade at that 
location without dependents.
    ``(2) A permanent duty location referred to in paragraph (1) is a 
location--
        ``(A) to which the movement of the member's dependents is not 
    authorized at the expense of the United States under section 406 of 
    this title, and the member's dependents do not reside at or near 
    the location; and
        ``(B) at which quarters of the United States are not available 
    for assignment to the member.
    ``(3) In the case of a member with dependents who is assigned to 
duty at a location or under circumstances that, as determined by the 
Secretary concerned, require the member's dependents to reside at a 
different location, the member shall receive a basic allowance for 
housing, as provided in subsection (a) or (b), as if the member were 
assigned to duty in the area in which the dependents reside, regardless 
of whether the member resides in quarters of the United States or is 
also entitled to a family separation basic allowance for housing by 
reason of paragraph (1).
    ``(4) The family separation basic allowance for housing under this 
subsection shall be in addition to any other allowance or per diem that 
the member is otherwise entitled to receive under this title. A member 
may receive a basic allowance for housing under both paragraphs (1) and 
(3).
    ``(e) Effect of Assignment to Quarters.--(1) Except as otherwise 
provided by law, a member of a uniformed service who is assigned to 
quarters of the United States or a housing facility under the 
jurisdiction of a uniformed service appropriate to the grade, rank, or 
rating of the member and adequate for the member and dependents of the 
member, if with dependents, is not entitled to a basic allowance for 
housing.
    ``(2) A member without dependents who is in a pay grade above pay 
grade E-6 and who is assigned to quarters in the United States or a 
housing facility under the jurisdiction of a uniformed service, 
appropriate to the grade or rank of the member and adequate for the 
member, may elect not to occupy those quarters and instead to receive 
the basic allowance for housing prescribed for the member's pay grade 
by this section.
    ``(3) A member without dependents who is in pay grade E-6 and who 
is assigned to quarters of the United States that do not meet the 
minimum adequacy standards established by the Secretary of Defense for 
members in such pay grade, or to a housing facility under the 
jurisdiction of a uniformed service that does not meet such standards, 
may elect not to occupy such quarters or facility and instead to 
receive the basic allowance for housing prescribed for the member's pay 
grade under this section.
    ``(4) The Secretary concerned may deny the right to make an 
election under paragraph (2) or (3) if the Secretary determines that 
the exercise of such an election would adversely affect a training 
mission, military discipline, or military readiness.
    ``(5) A member with dependents who is assigned to quarters of the 
United States or a housing facility under the jurisdiction of a 
uniformed service may be paid the basic allowance for housing if, 
because of orders of competent authority, the dependents are prevented 
from occupying those quarters.
    ``(f) Ineligibility During Initial Field Duty or Sea Duty.--(1) A 
member of a uniformed service without dependents who makes a permanent 
change of station for assignment to a unit conducting field operations 
is not entitled to a basic allowance for housing while on that initial 
field duty unless the commanding officer of the member certifies that 
the member was necessarily required to procure quarters at the member's 
expense.
    ``(2)(A) Except as provided in subparagraphs (B) and (C), a member 
of a uniformed service without dependents who is in a pay grade below 
pay grade E-6 is not entitled to a basic allowance for housing while 
the member is on sea duty.
    ``(B) Under regulations prescribed by the Secretary concerned, the 
Secretary may authorize the payment of a basic allowance for housing to 
a member of a uniformed service without dependents who is serving in 
pay grade E-5 and is assigned to sea duty. In prescribing regulations 
under this subparagraph, the Secretary concerned shall consider the 
availability of quarters for members serving in pay grade E-5.
    ``(C) Notwithstanding section 421 of this title, two members of the 
uniformed services in a pay grade below pay grade E-6 who are married 
to each other, have no other dependents, and are simultaneously 
assigned to sea duty are jointly entitled to one basic allowance for 
housing during the period of such simultaneous sea duty. The amount of 
the allowance shall be based on the without dependents rate for the pay 
grade of the senior member of the couple. However, this subparagraph 
shall not apply to a couple if one or both of the members are entitled 
to a basic allowance for housing under subparagraph (B).
    ``(3) The Secretary of Defense, and the Secretary of Transportation 
with respect to the Coast Guard when it is not operating as a service 
in the Department of the Navy, shall prescribe regulation defining the 
terms `field duty' and `sea duty' for purposes of this section.
    ``(g) Reserve Members.--(1) A member of a reserve component without 
dependents who is called or ordered to active duty in support of a 
contingency operation, or a retired member without dependents who is 
ordered to active duty under section 688(a) of title 10 in support of a 
contingency operation, may not be denied a basic allowance for housing 
if, because of that call or order, the member is unable to continue to 
occupy a residence--
        ``(A) which is maintained as the primary residence of the 
    member at the time of the call or order; and
        ``(B) which is owned by the member or for which the member is 
    responsible for rental payments.
    ``(2) Paragraph (1) shall not apply if the member is authorized 
transportation of household goods under section 406 of this title as 
part of the call or order to active duty described in such paragraph.
    ``(3) The Secretary of Defense shall establish a rate of basic 
allowance for housing to be paid to a member of a reserve component 
while the member serves on active duty under a call or order to active 
duty specifying a period of less than 140 days, unless the call or 
order to active duty is in support of a contingency operation.
    ``(h) Rental of Public Quarters.--Notwithstanding any other law 
(including those restricting the occupancy of housing facilities under 
the jurisdiction of a department or agency of the United States by 
members, and their dependents, of the armed forces above specified 
grades, or by members, and their dependents, of the National Oceanic 
and Atmospheric Administration and the Public Health Service), a member 
of a uniformed service, and the dependents of the member, may be 
accepted as tenants in, and may occupy on a rental basis, any of those 
housing facilities, other than public quarters constructed or 
designated for assignment to an occupancy without charge by such a 
member and the dependents of the member, if any. Such a member may not, 
because of occupancy under this subsection, be deprived of any money 
allowance to which the member is otherwise entitled for the rental of 
quarters.
    ``(i) Temporary Housing Allowance While in Travel or Leave 
Status.--A member of a uniformed service who is in a pay grade E-4 (4 
or more years of service) or above is entitled to a temporary basic 
allowance for housing (at a rate determined by the Secretary of 
Defense) while the member is in a travel or leave status between 
permanent duty stations, including time granted as delay en route or 
proceed time, when the member is not assigned to quarters of the United 
States.
    ``(j) Aviation Cadets.--The eligibility of an aviation cadet of the 
Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, or Coast Guard for a basic allowance for 
housing shall be determined as if the aviation cadet were a member of 
the uniformed services in pay grade E-4.
    ``(k) Administration.--(1) The Secretary of Defense shall prescribe 
regulations for the administration of this section.
    ``(2) The Secretary concerned may make such determinations as may 
be necessary to administer this section, including determinations of 
dependency and relationship. When warranted by the circumstances, the 
Secretary concerned may reconsider and change or modify any such 
determination. The authority of the Secretary concerned under this 
subsection may be delegated. Any determination made under this section 
with regard to a member of the uniformed services is final and is not 
subject to review by any accounting officer of the United States or a 
court, unless there is fraud or gross negligence.
    ``(3) Parking facilities (including utility connections) provided 
members of the uniformed services for house trailers and mobile homes 
not owned by the Government shall not be considered to be quarters for 
the purposes of this section or any other provision of law. Any fees 
established by the Government for the use of such a facility shall be 
established in an amount sufficient to cover the cost of maintenance, 
services, and utilities and to amortize the cost of construction of the 
facility over the 25-year period beginning with the completion of such 
construction.
    ``(l) Temporary Continuation of Allowance for Dependents of Members 
Dying on Active Duty.--(1) The Secretary of Defense, or the Secretary 
of Transportation in the case of the Coast Guard when not operating as 
a service in the Navy, may allow the dependents of a member of the 
armed forces who dies on active duty and whose dependents are occupying 
family housing provided by the Department of Defense, or by the 
Department of Transportation in the case of the Coast Guard, other than 
on a rental basis on the date of the member's death to continue to 
occupy such housing without charge for a period of 180 days.
    ``(2) The Secretary concerned may pay a basic allowance for housing 
(at the rate that is payable for members of the same grade and 
dependency status as the deceased member for the area where the 
dependents are residing) to the dependents of a member of the uniformed 
services who dies while on active duty and whose dependents--
        ``(A) are not occupying a housing facility under the 
    jurisdiction of a uniformed service on the date of the member's 
    death;
        ``(B) are occupying such housing on a rental basis on such 
    date; or
        ``(C) vacate such housing sooner than 180 days after the date 
    of the member's death.
    ``(3) The payment of the allowance under paragraph (2) shall 
terminate 180 days after the date of the member's death.
    ``(m) Members Paying Child Support.--(1) A member of a uniformed 
service with dependents may not be paid a basic allowance for housing 
at the with dependents rate solely by reason of the payment of child 
support by the member if--
        ``(A) the member is assigned to a housing facility under the 
    jurisdiction of a uniformed service; or
        ``(B) the member is assigned to sea duty, and elects not to 
    occupy assigned quarters for unaccompanied personnel, unless the 
    member is in a pay grade above E-4.
    ``(2) A member of a uniformed service assigned to quarters of the 
United States or a housing facility under the jurisdiction of a 
uniformed service who is not otherwise authorized a basic allowance for 
housing and who pays child support is entitled to the basic allowance 
for housing differential, except for months for which the amount 
payable for the child support is less than the rate of the 
differential. Payment of a basic allowance for housing differential 
does not affect any entitlement of the member to a partial allowance 
for quarters under subsection (n).
    ``(3) The basic allowance for housing differential to which a 
member is entitled under paragraph (2) is the amount equal to the 
difference between--
        ``(A) the rate of the basic allowance for quarters (with 
    dependents) for the member's pay grade, as such rate was in effect 
    on December 31, 1997, under this section (as in effect on that 
    date); and
        ``(B) the rate of the basic allowance for quarters (without 
    dependents) for the member's pay grade, as such rate was in effect 
    on December 31, 1997, under this section (as in effect on that 
    date).
    ``(4) Whenever the rates of basic pay for members of the uniformed 
services are increased, the monthly amount of the basic allowance for 
housing differential computed under paragraph (3) shall be increased by 
the average percentage increase in the rates of basic pay. The 
effective date of the increase shall be the same date as the effective 
date of the increase in the rates of basic pay.
    ``(5) In the case of two members, who have one or more common 
dependents (and no others), who are not married to each other, and one 
of whom pays child support to the other, the amount of the basic 
allowance for housing paid to each member under this section shall be 
reduced in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Secretary of 
Defense. The total amount of the basic allowances for housing paid to 
the two members may not exceed the sum of the amounts of the allowance 
to which each member would be otherwise entitled under this section.
    ``(n) Partial Allowance for Members Without Dependents.--(1) A 
member of a uniformed service without dependents who is not entitled to 
receive a basic allowance for housing under subsection (b), (c), or (d) 
is entitled to a partial basic allowance for housing at a rate 
determined by the Secretary of Defense under paragraph (2).
    ``(2) The rate of the partial basic allowance for housing is the 
partial rate of the basic allowance for quarters for the member's pay 
grade as such partial rate was in effect on December 31, 1997, under 
section 1009(c)(2) of this title (as such section was in effect on such 
date).''.
    (b) Transition to Basic Allowance for Housing.--The Secretary of 
Defense shall develop and implement a plan to incrementally manage the 
rate of growth of the various components of the basic allowance for 
housing authorized by section 403 of title 37, United States Code (as 
amended by subsection (a)), during a transition period of not more than 
six years. During the transition period, the Secretary may continue to 
use the authorities provided under sections 403, 403a, 405(b), and 
427(a) of title 37, United States Code (as in effect on the day before 
the date of the enactment of this Act), but subject to such 
modifications as the Secretary considers necessary, to provide 
allowances for members of the uniformed services.
    (c) Repeal of Superseded Authorities.--(1) Section 403a of title 
37, United States Code, is repealed.
    (2) Section 405 of such title is amended--
        (A) by striking out subsection (b); and
        (B) by redesignating subsections (c) and (d) as subsections (b) 
    and (c), respectively.
    (3) Section 427 of such title is amended--
        (A) by striking out subsection (a); and
        (B) in subsection (b)--
            (i) by striking out ``(b) Additional Separation 
        Allowance.--'' and inserting in lieu thereof ``(a) Entitlement 
        to Allowance.--'';
            (ii) in paragraph (1)--
                (I) by striking out ``, including subsection (a),'' in 
            the matter preceding the subparagraphs;
                (II) by inserting ``or'' at the end of subparagraph 
            (B);
                (III) by striking out ``; or'' at the end of 
            subparagraph (C) and inserting in lieu thereof a period; 
            and
                (IV) by striking out subparagraph (D);
            (iii) in paragraph (3)--
                (I) by striking out ``(3) An allowance'' and inserting 
            in lieu thereof ``(b) Entitlement When No Residence or 
            Household Maintained for Dependents.--An allowance''; and
                (II) by striking out ``this subsection'' and inserting

    may undermine the incentives of such contractors to optimize 
    treatment outcomes in managing the care of covered beneficiaries 
    without exceeding budgeted resources.
        (4) The cost impacts, if any, of the use of commercial managed 
    care methods of furnishing pharmaceuticals to covered beneficiaries 
    by TRICARE program contractors instead of procuring pharmaceuticals 
    at discounted prices pursuant to section 8126 of title 38, United 
    States Code.

SEC. 752. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING QUALITY HEALTH CARE FOR RETIREES.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
        (1) Many retired military personnel believe that they were 
    promised lifetime health care in exchange for 20 or more years of 
    service.
        (2) Military retirees are the only Federal Government personnel 
    who have been prevented from using their employer-provided health 
    care at or after 65 years of age.
        (3) Military health care has become increasingly difficult to 
    obtain for military retirees as the Department of Defense reduces 
    its health care infrastructure.
        (4) Military retirees deserve to have a health care program 
    that is at least comparable with that of retirees from civilian 
    employment by the Federal Government.
        (5) The availability of quality, lifetime health care is a 
    critical recruiting incentive for the Armed Forces.
        (6) Quality health care is a critical aspect of the quality of 
    life of the men and women serving in the Armed Forces.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
        (1) the United States has incurred a moral obligation to 
    provide health care to members and former members of the Armed 
    Forces who are entitled to retired or retainer pay (or its 
    equivalent);
        (2) it is, therefore, necessary to provide quality, affordable 
    health care to such retirees; and
        (3) Congress and the President should take steps to address the 
    problems associated with the availability of health care for such 
    retirees within two years after the date of the enactment of this 
    Act.

              UNITS FOR DETECTING AND MONITORING CHEMICAL, BIOLOGICAL, 
              AND SIMILAR HAZARDS IN A THEATER OF OPERATIONS.

    It is the sense of Congress that the Secretary of Defense, in 
conjunction with the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, should take 
such actions as are necessary to ensure that the units of the Armed 
Forces deployed in the theater of operations for each contingency 
operation or combat operation include specialized units with sufficient 
capability (including personnel with the appropriate training and 
expertise, and the appropriate equipment) to detect and monitor the 
presence of chemical, biological, and similar hazards to which members

    causes of Gulf War illnesses and appropriate treatments for such 
    illnesses.
        (3) The adequacy of Federal funding and the need for additional 
    funding for medical research initiatives regarding Gulf War 
    illnesses.

SEC. 770. PERSIAN GULF ILLNESS CLINICAL TRIALS PROGRAM.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
        (1) There are many ongoing studies that investigate risk 
    factors which may be associated with the health problems 
    experienced by Persian Gulf veterans; however, there have been no 
    studies that examine health outcomes and the effectiveness of the 
    treatment received by such veterans.
        (2) The medical literature and testimony presented in hearings 
    on Gulf War illnesses indicate that there are therapies, such as 
    cognitive behavioral therapy, that have been effective in treating 
    patients with symptoms similar to those seen in many Persian Gulf 
    veterans.
    (b) Establishment of Program.--The Secretary of Defense and the 
Secretary of Veterans Affairs, acting jointly, shall establish a 
program of cooperative clinical trials at multiple sites to assess the 
effectiveness of protocols for treating Persian Gulf veterans who 
suffer from ill-defined or undiagnosed conditions. Such protocols shall 
include a multidisciplinary treatment model, of which cognitive 
behavioral therapy is a component.
    (c) Funding.--Of the funds authorized to be appropriated in section 
201(1) for research, development, test, and evaluation for the Army, 
the sum of $4,500,000 shall be available for program element 62787A 
(medical technology) in the budget of the Department of Defense for 
fiscal year 1998 to carry out the clinical trials program established 
pursuant to subsection (b).

SEC. 771. SENSE OF CONGRESS CONCERNING GULF WAR ILLNESS.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
        (1) Americans served in the Persian Gulf Conflict of 1991 in 
    defense of vital national security interests of the United States.
        (2) It was known to United States intelligence and military 
    commanders that biological and chemical agents were in theater 
    throughout the conflict.
        (3) An undetermined amount of these agents were released into 
    theater.
        (4) A large number of United States military veterans and 
    allied veterans who served in the Southwest Asia theater of 
    operations have been stricken with a variety of severe illnesses.
        (5) Previous efforts to discern the causes of those illnesses 
    have been inadequate, and those illnesses are affecting the health 
    of both veterans and their families.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that all 
promising technology and treatments relating to Gulf War illnesses 
should be fully explored and tested to facilitate treatment for members 
of the Armed Forces and veterans who served the United States in the 
Persian Gulf conflict and are stricken with unexplainable illness.

SEC. 912. DEFENSE ACQUISITION WORKFORCE.

    (a) Reduction of Defense Acquisition Workforce.--(1) The Secretary 
of Defense shall accomplish reductions in defense acquisition personnel 
positions during fiscal year 1998 so that the total number of such 
personnel as of October 1, 1998, is less than the total number of such 
personnel as of October 1, 1997, by at least the applicable number 
determined under paragraph (2).
    (2)(A) The applicable number for purposes of paragraph (1) is 
25,000. However, the Secretary of Defense may specify a lower number, 
which may not be less than 10,000, as the applicable number for 
purposes of paragraph (1) if the Secretary determines, and certifies to 
Congress not later than June 1, 1998, that an applicable number greater 
than the number specified by the Secretary would be inconsistent with 
the cost-effective management of the defense acquisition system to 
obtain best value equipment and would adversely affect military 
readiness.
    (B) The Secretary shall include with such a certification a 
detailed explanation of each of the matters certified.
    (C) The authority of the Secretary under subparagraph (A) may only 
be delegated to the Deputy Secretary of Defense.

    (b) Report on Specific Acquisition Positions Previously 
Eliminated.--Not later than 30 days after the date of the enactment of

reductions in the defense acquisition workforce made since fiscal year 
1989. The report shall show aggregate reductions by fiscal year and 
shall show for each fiscal year reductions identified by specific job 
title, classification, or position. The report shall also identify 
those reductions carried out pursuant to law (and how the Secretary 
implemented any statutory requirement for such reductions, including 
definition of the workforce subject to the reduction) and those 
reductions carried out as a result of base closures and realignments 
under the so-called BRAC process. The Secretary shall include in the 
report a definition of the term ``defense acquisition workforce'' that 
is to be applied uniformly throughout the Department of Defense.
    (c) Implementation Plan To Streamline and Improve Acquisition 
Organizations.--(1) Not later than April 1, 1998, the Secretary of 
Defense shall submit to Congress a report containing a plan to 
streamline the acquisition organizations, workforce, and infrastructure 
of the Department of Defense. The Secretary shall include with the 
report a detailed discussion of the recommendations of the Secretary 
based on the review under subsection (d) and the assessment of the Task 
Force on Defense Reform pursuant to subsection (e), together with a 
request for the enactment of any legislative changes necessary for 
implementation of the plan. The Secretary shall include in the report 
the results of the review under subsection (d) and the independent 
assessment of the Task Force on Defense Reform pursuant to subsection 
(e).
    (2) In carrying out this subsection and subsection (d), the 
Secretary of Defense shall formally consult with the Chairman of the 
Joint Chiefs of Staff, the Director of Program Analysis and Evaluation, 
the Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller), and the Under Secretary 
for Acquisition and Technology.
    (d) Review of Acquisition Organizations and Functions.--The 
Secretary of Defense shall conduct a review of the organizations and 
functions of the Department of Defense acquisition activities and of 
the personnel required to carry out those functions. The review shall

    arrangements within the military services and defense agencies.
        (2) Specific areas of overlap, duplication, and redundancy 
    among the various acquisition organizations.
        (3) Opportunities to further streamline acquisition processes.

    fulfilling current and future acquisition needs of the Department.
        (12) Effect of technology and advanced management tools in the 
    future acquisition system.
        (13) Applicability of more flexible alternative approaches to 
    the current civil service system for the acquisition workforce.
        (14) Adequacy of Department of Defense Instruction numbered 
    5000.58 dated January 14, 1992.
    (e)  Duties of Task Force on Defense Reform To Include 
Consideration Of Acquisition Organizations.--(1) The Secretary of 
Defense shall require that the areas of study of the Task Force on 
Defense Reform (established by the Secretary of Defense on May 14, 
1997, and headed by the Deputy Secretary of Defense) include an 
examination of the missions, functions, and responsibilities of the 
various acquisition organizations of the Department of Defense, 
including the acquisition workforce of the Department. In carrying out 
that examination of those organizations and that workforce, the Task 
Force shall identify areas of duplication in defense acquisition 
organization and recommend to the Secretary options to streamline, 
reduce, and eliminate redundancies.
    (2) The examination of the missions, functions, and 
responsibilities of the various acquisition organizations of the 
Department of Defense under paragraph (1) shall include the following:
        (A) An assessment of benefits of consolidation or selected 
    elimination of Department of Defense acquisition organizations.
        (B) An assessment of the opportunities to streamline the 
    defense acquisition infrastructure that were realized as a result 
    of the enactment of the Federal Acquisition Streamlining Act of 
    1994 (Public Law 103-355) and the Clinger-Cohen Act of 1996 
    (divisions D and E of Public Law 104-106) or as result of other 
    acquisition reform initiatives implemented administratively during 
    the period from 1993 through 1997.
        (C) An assessment of such other options for streamlining or

SEC. 932. REPORT ON COORDINATION OF ACCESS OF COMMANDERS AND DEPLOYED 
              UNITS TO INTELLIGENCE COLLECTED AND ANALYZED BY THE 
              INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
        (1) Coordination of operational intelligence support for the 
    commanders of the combatant commands and deployed units of the 
    Armed Forces has proven to be inadequate.
        (2) Procedures used to reconcile information among various 
    intelligence community and Department of Defense data bases have 
    proven to be inadequate and, being inadequate, have diminished the 
    usefulness of that information and have precluded commanders and 
    planners within the Armed Forces from fully benefiting from key 
    information that should have been available to them.
        (3) Excessive compartmentalization of responsibilities and 
    information within the Department of Defense and the other elements 
    of the intelligence community has resulted in inaccurate analysis 
    of important intelligence material.
        (4) Excessive restrictions on the distribution of information 
    within the executive branch have disadvantaged units of the Armed 
    Forces that would have benefited most from the information.
        (5) Procedures used in the Department of Defense to ensure that 
    critical intelligence information is provided to the right combat 
    units in a timely manner failed during the Persian Gulf War and, as 
    a result, information about potential chemical weapons storage 
    locations did not reach the units that eventually destroyed those 
    storage areas.
        (6) A recent, detailed review of the events leading to and 
    following the destruction of chemical weapons by members of the 
    Armed Forces at Khamisiyah, Iraq, during the Persian Gulf War has 
    revealed a number of inadequacies in the way the Department of 
    Defense and the other elements of the intelligence community 
    handled, distributed, recorded, and stored intelligence information 
    about the threat of exposure of United States forces to chemical 
    weapons and the toxic agents in those weapons.
        (7) The inadequacy of procedures for recording the receipt of, 
    and reaction to, intelligence reports provided by the intelligence 
    community to combat units of the Armed Forces during the Persian 
    Gulf War has caused it to be impossible to analyze the failures in 
    transmission of intelligence-related information on the location of 
    chemical weapons at Khamisiyah, Iraq, that resulted in the 
    demolition of chemical weapons by members of the Armed Forces 
    unaware of the hazards to which they were exposed.
    (b) Report Requirement.--Not later than March 1, 1998, the 
Secretary of Defense shall submit to Congress a report that identifies 
the specific actions that have been taken or are being taken to ensure 
that there is adequate coordination of access of commanders of the 
combatant commands and deployed units of the Armed Forces to 
intelligence collected and analyzed by the intelligence community.

SEC. 933. PROTECTION OF IMAGERY, IMAGERY INTELLIGENCE, AND GEOSPATIAL 
              INFORMATION AND DATA.

section 455(b) of title 10, United States Code, is amended by inserting

amended to read as follows:
    ``(2) In this subsection, the term `geodetic product' means 
imagery, imagery intelligence, or geospatial information.''.
    (2) Section 467(4) of title 10, United States Code, is amended--
        (A) by inserting ``and'' at the end of subparagraph (A);
        (B) in subparagraph (B), by striking out ``and geodetic data; 
    and'' and inserting in lieu thereof ``geodetic data, and related 
    products.''; and
        (C) by striking out subparagraph (C).

SEC. 934. POW/MIA INTELLIGENCE ANALYSIS.

    (a) Intelligence Analysis.--The Director of Central Intelligence, 
in consultation with the Secretary of Defense, shall provide 
intelligence analysis on matters concerning prisoners of war and 
missing persons (as defined in chapter 76 of title 10, United States 
Code) to all departments and agencies of the Federal Government 
involved in such matters.
    (b) Use of Intelligence in Analysis of POW/MIA Cases in Department 
of Defense.--The Secretary of Defense shall ensure that the Defense 
Prisoner of War/Missing Personnel Office of the Department of Defense 
takes into full account all intelligence regarding matters concerning 
of prisoners of war and missing persons (as defined in chapter 76 of 
title 10, United States Code) in analyzing cases involving such 
persons.

        (4) The Quadrennial Defense Review lists ``the loss of U.S.

    regions'' as one of the so-called ``wild card'' scenarios covered

        (5) The National Defense Panel states that ``U.S. forces' long-

        (1) the President should develop alternatives to the current 
    arrangement for forward basing of the Armed Forces outside the 
    United States, including alternatives to the existing 
    infrastructure for forward basing of forces and alternatives to the 
    existing international agreements that provide for basing of United 
    States forces in foreign countries; and
        (2) because the Pacific Rim continues to emerge as a region of 
    significant economic and military importance to the United States,

    the capability of the United States to timely protect its interests

SEC. 1074. SUSTAINMENT AND OPERATION OF THE GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
        (1) The Global Positioning System (consisting of a 
    constellation of satellites and associated facilities capable of 
    providing users on earth with a highly precise statement of their 
    location on earth) makes significant contributions to the 
    attainment of the national security and foreign policy goals of the 
    United States, the safety and efficiency of international 
    transportation, and the economic growth, trade, and productivity of 
    the United States.
        (2) The infrastructure for the Global Positioning System 
    (including both space and ground segments of the infrastructure) is 
    vital to the effectiveness of United States and allied military 
    forces and to the protection of the national security interests of 
    the United States.
        (3) In addition to having military uses, the Global Positioning 
    System has essential civil, commercial, and scientific uses.
        (4) As a result of the increasing demand of civil, commercial, 
    and scientific users of the Global Positioning System--
            (A) there has emerged in the United States a new commercial 
        industry to provide Global Positioning System equipment and 
        related services to the many and varied users of the system; 
        and
            (B) there have been rapid technical advancements in Global 
        Positioning System equipment and services that have contributed 
        significantly to reductions in the cost of the Global 
        Positioning System and increases in the technical capabilities 
        and availability of the system for military uses.
        (5) It is in the national interest of the United States for the 
    United States--
            (A) to support continuation of the multiple-use character 
        of the Global Positioning System;
            (B) to promote broader acceptance and use of the Global 
        Positioning System and the technological standards that 
        facilitate expanded use of the system for civil purposes;
            (C) to coordinate with other countries to ensure (i) 
        efficient management of the electromagnetic spectrum used by 
        the Global Positioning System, and (ii) protection of that 
        spectrum in order to prevent disruption of signals from the 
        system and interference with that portion of the 
        electromagnetic spectrum used by the system; and
            (D) to encourage open access in all international markets 
        to the Global Positioning System and supporting equipment, 
        services, and techniques.
    (b) International Cooperation.--Congress urges the President to 
promote the security of the United States and its allies, the public 
safety, and commercial interests by taking the following steps:
        (1) Undertaking a coordinated effort within the executive 
    branch to seek to establish the Global Positioning System, and 
    augmentations to the system, as a worldwide resource.
        (2) Seeking to enter into international agreements to establish 
    signal and service standards that protect the Global Positioning 
    System from disruption and interference.
        (3) Undertaking efforts to eliminate any barriers to, and other 
    restrictions of foreign governments on, peaceful uses of the Global 
    Positioning System.
        (4) Requiring that any proposed international agreement 
    involving nonmilitary use of the Global Positioning System or any 
    augmentation to the system not be agreed to by the United States 
    unless the proposed agreement has been reviewed by the Secretary of 
    State, the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of Transportation, 
    and the Secretary of Commerce (acting as the Interagency Global 
    Positioning System Executive Board established by Presidential 
    Decision Directive NSTC-6, dated March 28, 1996).
    (c) Fiscal Year 1998 Prohibition of Support of Foreign System.--
None of the funds authorized to be appropriated under this Act may be 
used to support the operation and maintenance or enhancement of a 
satellite navigation system operated by a foreign country.
    (d) In General.--(1) Part IV of subtitle A of title 10, United 
States Code, is amended by inserting after chapter 134 the following

SEC. 1084. COMMENDATION OF MEMBERS OF THE ARMED FORCES AND GOVERNMENT 
              CIVILIAN PERSONNEL WHO SERVED DURING THE COLD WAR; 
              CERTIFICATE OF RECOGNITION.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress finds the following:
        (1) During the period of the Cold War, from the end of World 
    War II until the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, the United 
    States and the Soviet Union engaged in a global military rivalry.
        (2) This rivalry, potentially the most dangerous military 
    confrontation in the history of mankind, has come to a close 
    without a direct superpower military conflict.
        (3) Military and civilian personnel of the Department of 
    Defense, personnel in the intelligence community, members of the 
    foreign service, and other officers and employees of the United 
    States faithfully performed their duties during the Cold War.
        (4) Many such personnel performed their duties while isolated 
    from family and friends and served overseas under frequently 
    arduous conditions in order to protect the United States and 
    achieve a lasting peace.
        (5) The discipline and dedication of those personnel were 
    fundamental to the prevention of a superpower military conflict.
    (b) Congressional Commendation.--The Congress hereby commends the 
members of the Armed Forces and civilian personnel of the Government 
who contributed to the historic victory in the Cold War and expresses 
its gratitude and appreciation for their service and sacrifices.
    (c) Certificates of Recognition.--The Secretary of Defense shall 
prepare a certificate recognizing the Cold War service of qualifying 
members of the Armed Forces and civilian personnel of the Department of 
Defense and other Government agencies contributing to national 
security, as determined by the Secretary, and shall provide the 
certificate to such members and civilian personnel upon request.

SEC. 1085. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON GRANTING OF STATUTORY FEDERAL CHARTERS.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds that the practice of providing by 
statute Federal charters to certain nonprofit organizations--
        (1) may be perceived as implying a Government imprimatur of 
    approval of those organizations; and
        (2) may mistakenly lead to public perception that the United 
    States ensures the integrity and worthiness of those organizations.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress--
        (1) that because of the perceived implicit Government 
    imprimatur of approval conveyed by enactment of a Federal charter 
    for an organization, such a charter should be granted only in the 
    rarest and most extraordinary cases; and
        (2) that no statutory Federal charter should be enacted after 
    the enactment of this Act unless the charter is approved by 
    Congress upon favorable report by the committees of jurisdiction of 
    the respective Houses.

SEC. 1086. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING MILITARY VOTING RIGHTS.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
        (1) members of the Armed Forces have a fundamental right to 
    vote in Federal, State, and local elections; and
        (2) an extended absence of a member of the Armed Forces from 
    the place of the member's residency or domicile due to military or 
    naval orders is not of itself grounds to consider the member's 
    residency or domicile as lost or changed.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that the 
Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the Attorney General, should 
review how best to protect the right of members of the Armed Forces to 
vote in Federal, State, and local elections while taking into account 
the right of States to prescribe requirements for voter registration. 
Such a review should include an assessment of challenges to military 
voting rights and consideration of possible legislative remedies to 
ensure that, for purposes of voting in Federal, State, and local 
elections, a member of the Armed Forces who is absent from a State in 
compliance with military or naval orders is not, solely by reason of 
that absence, considered to have lost or changed residency or domicile.

SEC. 1087. DESIGNATION OF BOB HOPE AS AN HONORARY VETERAN OF THE ARMED 
              FORCES OF THE UNITED STATES.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
        (1) In its more than 200 years of existence as a nation, the 
    United States has never conferred on any person the status of being 
    an honorary veteran of the Armed Forces of the United States.
        (2) Status as an honorary veteran of the Armed Forces of the 
    United States is and should remain an extraordinary honor not 
    lightly conferred nor frequently granted.
        (3) The lifetime of accomplishments and service of Leslie 
    Townes (Bob) Hope on behalf of members of the Armed Forces of the 
    United States fully justifies the conferring of that status.
        (4) Bob Hope attempted to enlist in the Armed Forces to serve 
    his country during World War II but was informed that the greatest 
    service he could provide his country was as a civilian entertainer 
    for the troops.
        (5) During World War II, the Korean Conflict, the Vietnam War, 
    the Persian Gulf War, and the Cold War, Bob Hope travelled to visit 
    and entertain millions of members of the Armed Forces in numerous 
    countries, on ships at sea, and in combat zones ashore.
        (6) Bob Hope has been awarded the Congressional Gold Medal, the 
    Presidential Medal of Freedom, the Distinguished Service Medal of 
    each of the branches of the Armed Forces and more than 100 other 
    citations and awards from national veterans service organizations 
    and civic and humanitarian organizations.
        (7) Bob Hope has given unselfishly of himself for over half a 
    century to be with American service members on foreign shores, 
    working tirelessly to bring a spirit of humor and cheer to millions 
    of service members during their loneliest moments, and has, 
    thereby, extended to them for the American people a touch of home 
    away from home.
    (b) Designation of Bob Hope as Honorary Veteran.-- Congress--
        (1) extends its gratitude, on behalf of the American people, to 
    Leslie Townes (Bob) Hope, of the State of California, for his 
    lifetime of accomplishments and service on behalf of members of the 
    Armed Forces of the United States; and
        (2) hereby confers upon him the status of being an honorary 
    veteran of the Armed Forces of the United States.

    Subtitle A--United States Armed Forces in Bosnia and Herzegovina

SEC. 1201. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds the following:
        (1) United States Armed Forces were deployed to the Republic of 
    Bosnia and Herzegovina as part of the North Atlantic Treaty 
    Organization (NATO) Implementation Force (IFOR) to implement the 
    military aspects of the Dayton Peace Agreement.
        (2) The military aspects of the Dayton Peace Agreement have 
    been successfully implemented to date with the military forces of 
    the warring factions successfully separated and a cessation in the 
    hostilities that resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of 
    Bosnians.
        (3) Implementation of the civil aspects of the Dayton Peace 
    Agreement has lagged far behind the schedule for such 
    implementation envisioned in the Agreement with the result that 
    United States Armed Forces have undertaken a prolonged engagement 
    in the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
        (4) On December 13, 1995, the President stated in a letter to 
    Congress, ``NATO and U.S. military commanders believe, and I 
    expect, that the military mission can be accomplished in about a 
    year. Twelve months will allow IFOR time to complete the military 
    tasks assigned in the Dayton agreement and to establish a secure 
    environment, in which political and economic reconstruction efforts 
    by the parties and international civilian agencies can take hold. 
    Within one year, we expect that the military provisions of the 
    Dayton agreement will have been carried out, implementation of the 
    civilian aspects and economic reconstruction will have been firmly 
    launched, free elections will have been held under international 
    supervision and a stable military balance will have been 
    established.''
        (5) Notwithstanding a number of assurances relating to the 
    accomplishment of the military mission in the Republic of Bosnia 
    and Herzegovina by December 1996, the President, on November 15, 
    1996, announced his decision to extend the presence of United 
    States forces in the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina to 
    participate in the NATO Stabilization Force (SFOR) until June 1998.
        (6) Despite initial projections by the Department of Defense 
    that the costs of United States operations in the Republic of 
    Bosnia and Herzegovina would total $1,500,000,000, the projected 
    cost of United States operations in the Republic of Bosnia and 
    Herzegovina through June 1998 is estimated to exceed 
    $7,000,000,000.
        (7) The fiscal year 1998 estimate of the Department of Defense 
    for operations in the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina assumes 
    that the level of military forces participating in SFOR will be 
    reduced soon after the start of the fiscal year.
        (8) The President and the Secretary of Defense have stated that 
    United States forces are to be withdrawn from the Republic of 
    Bosnia and Herzegovina by the end of June 1998.

SEC. 1202. SENSE OF CONGRESS.

    It is the sense of Congress that--
        (1) United States ground combat forces should not participate 
    in a follow-on force in the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina 
    after June 1998;
        (2) the European Security and Defense Identity, which, as 
    facilitated by the Combined Joint Task Forces concept, enables the 
    Western European Union, with the consent of the North Atlantic 
    Alliance, to assume political control and strategic direction of 
    NATO assets made available for the Alliance, may be an ideal 
    instrument for a follow-on force for the Republic of Bosnia and 
    Herzegovina;
        (3) a NATO-led force without the participation of United States 
    ground combat forces in the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina may 
    be suitable for a follow-on force for the Republic of Bosnia and 
    Herzegovina if the European Security and Defense Identity is not 
    sufficiently developed or is otherwise considered inappropriate for 
    such a mission;
        (4) the United States may decide to provide appropriate support 
    to a Western European Union-led or NATO-led follow-on force, 
    including command and control, intelligence, logistics, and, if 
    necessary, a ready reserve force in the region;
        (5) the President should inform our European NATO allies of 
    this expression of the sense of Congress and should urge them 
    strongly to undertake preparations for a Western European Union-led 
    or NATO-led force as a follow-on force to the NATO-led SFOR if 
    needed to maintain peace and stability in the Republic of Bosnia 
    and Herzegovina; and
        (6) the President should consult with the Congress with respect 
    to any support to be provided to a Western European Union-led or 
    NATO-led follow-on force in the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina 
    after June 30, 1998.

1998, unless the President, not later than May 15, 1998, and after 
consultation with the bipartisan leadership of the two Houses of 
Congress, transmits to Congress a certification--
        (1) that the continued presence of United States ground combat 
    forces, after June 30, 1998, in the Republic of Bosnia and 
    Herzegovina is required in order to meet the national security 
    interests of the United States; and
        (2) that after June 30, 1998, it will remain United States 
    policy that United States ground forces will not serve as, or be 
    used as, civil police in the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

    deployed in and around the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina and 
    other areas of the former Yugoslavia after that date.
        (3) The expected duration of any such deployment.
        (4) The mission and objectives of the United States Armed 
    Forces to be deployed in and around the Republic of Bosnia and 
    Herzegovina and other areas of the former Yugoslavia after June 30, 
    1998.
        (5) The exit strategy of such forces.
        (6) The incremental costs associated with any such deployment.
        (7) The effect of such deployment on the morale, retention, and 
    effectiveness of United States armed forces.
        (8) A description of the forces from other nations involved in 
    a follow-on mission, shown on a nation-by-nation basis.
        (9) A description of the command and control arrangement 
    established for United States forces involved in a follow-on 
    mission.
        (10) An assessment of the expected threats to United States 
    forces involved in a follow-on mission.
        (11) The plan for rotating units and personnel to and from the 
    Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina during a follow-on mission, 
    including the level of participation by reserve component units and 
    personnel.
        (12) The mission statement and operational goals of the United 
    States forces involved in a follow-on mission.
    (c) Request for Supplemental Appropriations.--The President shall 
transmit to Congress with a certification under subsection (a) a 
supplemental appropriations request for the Department of Defense for 
such amounts as are necessary for the costs of any continued deployment 
beyond June 30, 1998.
    (d) Construction With President's Constitutional Authority.--
Nothing in this section shall be deemed to restrict the authority of 
the President under the Constitution to protect the lives of United 
States citizens.

under paragraph (1). The report shall be submitted not later than March 
1, 1998, in classified and unclassified form.

SEC. 1222. TEMPORARY USE OF GENERAL PURPOSE VEHICLES AND NONLETHAL 
              MILITARY EQUIPMENT UNDER ACQUISITION AND CROSS SERVICING 
              AGREEMENTS.

    Section 2350(1) of title 10, United States Code, is amended by 
striking out ``other items'' in the second sentence and all that 
follows through ``United States Munitions List'' and inserting in lieu 
thereof ``other nonlethal items of military equipment which are not 
designated as significant military equipment on the United States 
Munitions List promulgated''.

SEC. 1223. SENSE OF CONGRESS AND REPORTS REGARDING FINANCIAL COSTS OF 
              ENLARGEMENT OF THE NORTH ATLANTIC TREATY ORGANIZATION.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
        (1) In a report to Congress in February 1997 on the rationale, 
    benefits, costs, and implications of North Atlantic Treaty 
    Organization enlargement the Secretary of Defense estimated that 
    the financial cost to the United States of such enlargement will be 
    modest, totaling between $2,000,000,000 and $2,600,000,000 for the 
    period from 1997 through 2009.
        (2) A study by the RAND Corporation published in 1996 
    calculated that the total financial cost to the United States of 
    such enlargement will be between $5,000,000,000 and $6,000,000,000 
    over the same period.
        (3) A March 1996 report by the Congressional Budget Office on 
    the financial costs of enlarging the North Atlantic Treaty 
    Organization alliance estimated the United States share of alliance 
    enlargement costs to be between $4,800,000,000 and $18,900,000,000 
    through 2010, depending upon political developments in Europe.
        (4) An August 1997 report by the General Accounting Office 
    reviewing the financial cost estimates of the Secretary of Defense 
    concluded that North Atlantic Treaty Organization enlargement could 
    entail additional costs beyond those included in the Secretary's 
    estimate and questioned the validity of the Secretary's estimate 
    due to the lack of supporting cost documentation and the inclusion 
    of cost elements not related to NATO enlargement.
        (5) The North Atlantic Alliance is scheduled to complete its 
    analysis of the military requirements for the integration of 
    Poland, the Czech Republic, and Hungary into the Alliance in 
    December 1997.
        (6) The North Atlantic Alliance is also scheduled to complete 
    in December 1997 its financial cost estimate of the military 
    requirements related to the integration of those nations.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that the 
analysis of the North Atlantic Alliance of the military requirements 
relating to NATO enlargement and of the financial costs to the Alliance 
of NATO enlargement will be one of the major factors in the 
consideration by the Senate of the ratification of instruments to 
approve the admission of new member nations to the Alliance and by 
Congress for the authorization and appropriation of the funding for the 
costs associated with such enlargement.
    (c) Report Assessing NATO Cost Analysis.--Not later than March 31, 
1998, the Secretary of Defense shall submit to Congress a report 
providing--
        (1) an assessment of the analysis by the North Atlantic 
    Alliance of the military requirements related to NATO enlargement 
    and of the estimate of the financial costs to the NATO Alliance for 
    the integration of Poland, the Czech Republic, and Hungary into the 
    Alliance;
        (2) a description of the analytical means used to determine 
    such requirements and costs; and
        (3) a general assessment of the additional military 
    requirements and costs that would result from a significantly 
    increased threat.
    (d) Report on Department of Defense Costs.--(1) The Secretary of 
Defense shall submit to Congress, in conjunction with the submission of 
the President's budget for fiscal year 1999, a report on Department of 
Defense costs for NATO enlargement. The report shall include a detailed 
estimate of such costs for fiscal year 1998 that identifies all 
appropriations, by budget activity, for the military departments and 
other elements of the Department of Defense to support NATO 
enlargement.
    (2) The Secretary of Defense shall include in the budget 
justification materials submitted to Congress by the Secretary in 
support of the budget of Department of Defense for fiscal year 1999 
complete and detailed descriptions and estimates of the amounts 
provided in that budget for the costs of NATO enlargement.

SEC. 1224. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING ENLARGEMENT OF THE NORTH 
              ATLANTIC TREATY ORGANIZATION.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
        (1) The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) met on July 8 
    and 9, 1997, in Madrid, Spain, and issued invitations to the Czech 
    Republic, Hungary, and Poland to begin accession talks to join 
    NATO.
        (2) Congress has expressed its support for the process of NATO 
    enlargement by approving the NATO Enlargement Facilitation Act of 
    1996 (title VI of the matter enacted in section 101(c) of division 
    A of Public Law 104-208; 22 U.S.C. 1928 note).
        (3) The United States has supported the position that the 
    process of enlarging NATO will continue after the first round of 
    invitations in July 1997.
        (4) Romania and Slovenia are to be commended for their progress 
    toward political and economic reform and appear to be striving to 
    meet the guidelines for prospective membership in NATO.
        (5) In furthering the purpose and objective of NATO in 
    promoting stability and well-being in the North Atlantic area, NATO 
    should invite Romania and Slovenia to accession negotiations to 
    become NATO members as expeditiously as possible upon the 
    satisfaction of all relevant membership criteria and consistent 
    with NATO security objectives.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that North 
Atlantic Treaty Organization should be commended--
        (1) for having committed to review the process of enlarging the 
    Organization in 1999; and
        (2) for singling out the positive developments toward democracy 
    and rule of law in Romania and Slovenia.

SEC. 1225. SENSE OF CONGRESS RELATING TO LEVEL OF UNITED STATES 
              MILITARY PERSONNEL IN THE EAST ASIA AND PACIFIC REGION.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
        (1) The stability of the Asia-Pacific region is a matter of 
    vital national interest affecting the well-being of all Americans.
        (2) The nations of the Pacific Rim collectively represent the 
    United States largest trading partner and are expected to account 
    for almost one-third of the world's economic activity by the start 
    of the next century.
        (3) The increased reliance by the United States on trade and 
    Middle East oil sources has reinforced United States security 
    interests in the Southeast Asia shipping lanes through the South 
    China Sea and the key straits of Malacca, Sunda, Lombok, and 
    Makassar.
        (4) The South China Sea is an important area for United States 
    Navy ships passing from the Pacific to the Indian Ocean and the 
    Persian Gulf.
        (5) Maintaining freedom of navigation in the South China Sea is 
    an important interest of the United States.
        (6) The threats of proliferation of weapons of mass 
    destruction, the emerging nationalism amidst long-standing ethnic 
    and national rivalries, and the unresolved territorial disputes 
    combine to create a political landscape of potential instability 
    and conflict in this region that could jeopardize the interests of 
    the United States and the safety of United States nationals.
        (7) A critical component of the East Asia strategy of the 
    United States is maintaining forward deployed forces in Asia to 
    ensure broad regional stability, to help to deter aggression, to 
    lessen the pressure for arms races, and to contribute to the 
    political and economic advances of the region from which the United 
    States benefits.
        (8) The forward presence of the United States in Northeast Asia 
    enables the United States to respond to regional contingencies, to 
    protect sea lines of communication, to sustain influence, and to 
    support operations as distant as operations in the Persian Gulf.
        (9) The military forces of the United States serve to prevent 
    the political or economic control of the Asia-Pacific region by a 
    rival, hostile power or coalition of such powers, thus preventing 
    any such group from obtaining control over the vast resources, 
    enormous wealth, and advanced technology of the region.
        (10) Allies of the United States in the region can base their 
    defense planning on a reliable American security commitment, a 
    reduction of which could stimulate an arms buildup in the region.
        (11) The Joint Announcement of the United States-Japan Security 
    Consultative Committee of December 1996, acknowledged that ``the 
    forward presence of U.S. forces continues to be an essential 
    element for pursuing our common security objectives''.
        (12) The United States and Japan signed the United States-Japan 
    Security Declaration in April 1996, in which the United States 
    reaffirmed its commitment to maintain this level of 100,000 United 
    States military personnel in the region.
        (13) The United States military presence is recognized by the 
    nations of the region as serving stability and enabling United 
    States engagement.
        (14) The nations of East Asia and the Pacific consider the 
    commitment of the forces of the United States to be so vital to 
    their future that they scrutinize actions of the United States for 
    any sign of weakened commitment to the security of the region.
        (15) The reduction of forward-based military forces could 
    negatively affect the ability of the United States to contribute to 
    the maintenance of peace and stability of the Asia and Pacific 
    region.
        (16) Recognizing that while the United States must consider the 
    overall capabilities of its forces in its decisions to deploy 
    troops, nevertheless any reduction in the number of forward-based 
    troops may reduce the perception of American capability and 
    commitment in the region that cannot be completely offset by 
    modernization of the remaining forces.
        (17) During time of crisis, deployment of forces to East Asia, 
    even though such forces were previously removed from the area, 
    might be deemed to be an act of provocation that could be used as a 
    pretext by a hostile power for armed aggression within the region, 
    and the existence of that possibility might hinder such a 
    deployment.
        (18) Proposals to reduce the forward presence of the United 
    States in the East Asia region or subordinate security interests to 
    United States domestic budgetary concerns can erode the perception 
    of the commitment of the United States to its alliances and 
    interests in the region.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that the United 
States should maintain at least approximately 100,000 United States 
military personnel in the East Asia and Pacific region until such time 
as there is a peaceful and permanent resolution to the major security 
and political conflicts in the region.

    Target Attack Radar System (JSTARS) aircraft, or other command and 
    control, intelligence, airborne early warning, or electronic 
    warfare aircraft.
        (6) Efforts by the People's Republic of China to develop a 
    capability to conduct ``information warfare'' at the strategic,

        (7) Development by the People's Republic of China of 
    capabilities in the area of electronic warfare.
        (8) Efforts by the People's Republic of China to develop a

    of military and commercial space systems in times of crisis or war, 
    including programs to place weapons in space or to develop earth-
    based weapons capable of attacking space-based systems.
        (9) Trends that would lead the People's Republic of China 
    toward the development of advanced intelligence, surveillance, and 
    reconnaissance capabilities, including gaining access to commercial 
    or third-party systems with military significance.
        (10) Efforts by the People's Republic of China to develop 
    highly accurate and stealthy ballistic and cruise missiles, 
    including sea-launched cruise missiles, particularly in numbers 
    sufficient to conduct attacks capable of overwhelming projected 
    defense capabilities in the Asia-Pacific region.
        (11) Development by the People's Republic of China of command 
    and control networks, particularly those capable of battle 
    management of long-range precision strikes.

    telecommunications, including common channel signaling and 
    synchronous digital hierarchy technologies.
        (13) Development by People's Republic of China of advanced 
    aerospace technologies with military applications (including gas 
    turbine ``hot section'' technologies).
        (14) Programs of the People's Republic of China involving 
    unmanned aerial vehicles, particularly those with extended ranges 
    or loitering times or potential strike capabilities.
        (15) Exploitation by the People's Republic of China for 
    military purposes of the Global Positioning System or other similar 
    systems (including commercial land surveillance satellites), with 
    such analysis and forecasts focusing particularly on indications of 
    an attempt to increase the accuracy of weapons or situational 
    awareness of operating forces.
        (16) Development by the People's Republic of China of 
    capabilities for denial of sea control, including such systems as 
    advanced sea mines, improved submarine capabilities, or land-based

        (2) the potential threat of developments related to such 
    effects to United States strategic interests.
    (d) Submission of Report.--The report shall be submitted to 
Congress not later than March 15, 1998.

SEC. 1227. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON NEED FOR RUSSIAN OPENNESS ON THE 
              YAMANTAU MOUNTAIN PROJECT.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds as follows:
        (1) The United States and Russia have been working since the 
    end of the Cold War to achieve a strategic relationship based on 
    cooperation and openness between the two nations.
        (2) This effort to establish a new strategic relationship 
    between the two nations has resulted in the conclusion or agreement 
    in principle on a number of far-reaching agreements, including 
    START I, II, and III, a revision in the Conventional Forces in 
    Europe Treaty, and a series of other agreements (such as the 
    Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty and the Chemical Weapons Convention), 
    designed to further reduce bilateral threats and limit the 
    proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.
        (3) These far-reaching agreements were based on the 
    understanding between the United States and Russia that there would 
    be a good faith effort on both sides to comply with the letter and 
    spirit of the agreements.
        (4) Reports indicate that Russia has been pursuing construction 
    of a massive underground facility of unknown purpose at Yamantau 
    Mountain and the city of Mezhgorye (formerly the settlements of 
    Beloretsk-15 and Beloretsk-16) that is designed to survive a 
    nuclear war and appears to exceed reasonable defense requirements.
        (5) The Yamantau Mountain project does not appear to be 
    consistent with the lowering of strategic threats, openness, and 
    cooperation that is the basis of the post-Cold War strategic 
    partnership between the United States and Russia.
        (6) The United States has allowed senior Russian military and 
    government officials to have access to key strategic facilities of 
    the United States by providing tours of the North American Air 
    Defense (NORAD) command at Cheyenne Mountain and the United States 
    Strategic Command (STRATCOM) headquarters in Omaha, Nebraska, among 
    other sites, and by providing extensive briefings on the operations 
    of those facilities.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that the 
Russian government--
        (1) should provide to the United States Government a written 
    explanation with sufficient detail (including drawings and 
    diagrams) of the purpose and operational concept of the completed 
    and planned facilities at Yamantau Mountain to support a high 
    confidence judgment by the United States that the design of the 
    Yamantau facility is consistent with official Russian government 
    explanations; and
        (2) should allow a United States delegation, to include 
    officials of the executive branch and Members of Congress, to have 
    access to the Yamantau Mountain project and buildings and 
    facilities surrounding the project.

SEC. 1228. ASSESSMENT OF THE CUBAN THREAT TO UNITED STATES NATIONAL 
              SECURITY.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
        (1) Cuba has maintained a hostile policy in its relations with 
    the United States for over 35 years.
        (2) The United States, as a sovereign nation, must be able to 
    respond to any Cuban provocation and defend the people and 
    territory of the United States against any attack.
        (3) In 1994, the Government of Cuba callously encouraged a 
    massive exodus of Cubans, by boat and raft, toward the United 
    States during which countless numbers of those Cubans lost their 
    lives on the high seas.
        (4) The humanitarian response of the United States to rescue, 
    shelter, and provide emergency care to those Cubans, together with 
    the actions taken to absorb some 30,000 of those Cubans into the 
    United States, required significant efforts and the expenditure of 
    hundreds of millions of dollars for the costs incurred by the 
    United States and State and local governments in connection with 
    those efforts.
        (5) On February 24, 1996, Cuban MiG aircraft attacked and 
    destroyed, in international airspace, two unarmed civilian aircraft 
    flying from the United States, and the four persons in those 
    unarmed civilian aircraft were killed.
        (6) Since that attack, the Cuban government has issued no 
    apology for the attack, nor has it indicated any intention to 
    conform its conduct to international law that is applicable to 
    civilian aircraft operating in international airspace.
    (b) Review and Assessment.--The Secretary of Defense shall carry 
out a comprehensive review and assessment of--
        (1) Cuban military capabilities; and
        (2) the threats to the national security of the United States 
    that may be posed by Cuba, including--
            (A) such unconventional threats as (i) encouragement of 
        massive and dangerous migration, and (ii) attacks on citizens 
        and residents of the United States while they are engaged in 
        peaceful protest in international waters or airspace;
            (B) the potential for development and delivery of chemical 
        or biological weapons; and
            (C) the potential for internal strife in Cuba that could 
        involve citizens or residents of the United States or the Armed 
        Forces of the United States.
    (c) Report.--Not later than March 31, 1998, 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 on the review and assessment. The report shall include the 
following:
        (1) The Secretary's assessment of the capabilities and threats 
    referred to in subsection (b), including each of the threats 
    described in paragraph (2) of that subsection.
        (2) A discussion of the results of the review and assessment, 
    including an assessment of the contingency plans developed by the 
    Secretary to counter any threat posed by Cuba to the United States.
    (d) Consultation on Review and Assessment.--In performing the 
review and assessment and in preparing the report, the Secretary of 
Defense shall consult with the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, 
the commander of the United States Southern Command, and the heads of 
other appropriate departments and agencies of the United States.

SEC. 1229. REPORT ON HELSINKI JOINT STATEMENT.

    (a) Requirement.--Not later than March 31, 1998, the President 
shall submit to the Committee on Armed Services of the Senate and the 
Committee on National Security of the House of Representatives a report 
on the Helsinki Joint Statement on future reductions in nuclear forces. 
The report shall address the United States approach (including 
verification implications) to implementing the Helsinki Joint 
Statement, in particular, as that Statement relates to the following:
        (1) Lower aggregate levels of strategic nuclear warheads.
        (2) Measures relating to the transparency of strategic nuclear 
    warhead inventories and the destruction of strategic nuclear 
    warheads.
        (3) Deactivation of strategic nuclear delivery vehicles.
        (4) Measures relating to nuclear long-range sea-launched cruise 
    missiles and tactical nuclear systems.
        (5) Issues related to transparency in nuclear materials.
    (b) Definition.--For purposes of this section, the term ``Helsinki 
Joint Statement'' means the agreements between the President of the 
United States and the President of the Russian Federation as contained 
in the Joint Statement on Parameters on Future Reductions in Nuclear 
Forces issued at Helsinki in March 1997.

SEC. 1230. COMMENDATION OF MEXICO ON FREE AND FAIR ELECTIONS.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
        (1) On July 6, 1997, elections were conducted in Mexico in 
    order to fill 500 seats in the Chamber of Deputies, 32 seats in the 
    128 seat Senate, the office of the Mayor of Mexico City, and local 
    elections in a number of Mexican States.
        (2) For the first time, the federal elections were organized by 
    the Federal Electoral Institute, an autonomous and independent 
    organization established under the Mexican Constitution.
        (3) More than 52,000,000 Mexican citizens registered to vote.
        (4) Eight political parties registered to participate in those 
    elections, including the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI),

    officials throughout his administration; and
        (3) President Zedillo, the Mexican Government, the Federal 
    Electoral Institute of Mexico, the political parties and 
    candidates, and most importantly the citizens of Mexico should all 
    be congratulated for their support and participation in these very 
    historic elections.

SEC. 1231. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING CAMBODIA.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
        (1) During the 1970s and 1980s, Cambodia was wracked by 
    political conflict, war, and violence, including genocide 
    perpetrated by the Khmer Rouge from 1975 to 1979.
        (2) The 1991 Paris Agreements on a Comprehensive Political 
    Settlement of the Cambodia Conflict set the stage for a process of 
    political accommodation and national reconciliation among 
    Cambodia's warring parties.
        (3) The international community engaged in a massive effort 
    involving more than $2,000,000,000 to ensure peace, democracy, and 
    prosperity in Cambodia following the Paris Accords.
        (4) The Cambodian people clearly demonstrated their support for 
    democracy when 90 percent of eligible Cambodian voters participated 
    in United Nations-sponsored elections in 1993.
        (5) Since the 1993 elections, Cambodia has made economic 
    progress, as shown by the recent decision of the Association of 
    Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) to extend membership in the 
    Association to Cambodia.
        (6) Tensions within the ruling Cambodian coalition have erupted 
    into violence.
        (7) In March 1997, 19 Cambodians were killed and more than 100 
    were wounded in a grenade attack on political demonstrators 
    supportive of the Funcinpec and the Khmer Nation Party.
        (8) During June 1997, fighting erupted in Phnom Penh between 
    forces loyal to First Prime Minister Prince Ranariddh and Second 
    Prime Minister Hun Sen.
        (9) On July 5, 1997, Second Prime Minister Hun Sen deposed the 
    First Prime Minister in a violent coup d'etat.
        (10) Forces loyal to Hun Sen have executed former Interior 
    Minister Ho Sok and approximately 40 other political opponents 
    loyal to Prince Ranariddh.
        (11) Democracy and stability in Cambodia are threatened by the 
    continued use of violence and other extralegal means to resolve 
    political tensions.
        (12) In response to the July 1997 coup in Cambodia referred to 
    in paragraph (9)--
            (A) the President has suspended all direct assistance to 
        the Cambodian Government; and
            (B) the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) has 
        decided to delay indefinitely admission of Cambodia to 
        membership in the Association.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
        (1) the parties in Cambodia should immediately cease the use of 
    violence;
        (2) the United States should take all necessary steps to ensure 
    the safety of United States citizens in Cambodia;
        (3) the United States should call an emergency meeting of the 
    United Nations Security Council to consider all options to restore 
    peace and democratic governance in Cambodia;
        (4) the United States and the Association of Southeast Asian 
    Nations should work together to take immediate steps to restore 
    democracy and the rule of law in Cambodia;
        (5) United States assistance to the Government of Cambodia 
    should remain suspended until violence ends, the democratically 
    elected Government is restored to power, and the necessary steps 
    have been taken to ensure that the elections scheduled for 1998 
    take place; and
        (6) the United States should take all necessary steps to 
    encourage other donor nations to suspend assistance as part of a 
    multilateral effort.

SEC. 1232. CONGRATULATING GOVERNOR CHRISTOPHER PATTEN OF HONG KONG.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
        (1) His Excellency Christopher F. Patten, the former Governor 
    of Hong Kong, was the twenty-eighth and last British Governor of 
    the dependent territory of Hong Kong before that territory reverted 
    back to the People's Republic of China on July 1, 1997.
        (2) Christopher Patten was a superb administrator and an 
    inspiration to the people whom he governed.
        (3) During Christopher Patten's five years as Governor of Hong 
    Kong, the economy flourished under his stewardship, growing by more 
    than 30 percent in real terms.
        (4) Christopher Patten presided over a capable and honest civil 
    service.
        (5) During the tenure of Christopher Patten as Governor of Hong 
    Kong, common crime declined and the political climate was positive 
    and stable.
        (6) The legacy of Christopher Patten to Hong Kong is the 
    expansion of democracy in Hong Kong's legislative council and a 
    tireless devotion to the rights, freedoms, and welfare of the 
    people of Hong Kong.
        (7) Christopher Patten fulfilled the commitment of the British 
    Government to ``put in place a solidly based democratic 
    administration'' in Hong Kong before July 1, 1997.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress that 
Christopher F. Patten, the last British Governor of the dependent 
territory of Hong Kong--
        (1) served his country with great honor and distinction in that 
    capacity; and
        (2) deserves special thanks and recognition from the United 
    States for his tireless efforts to develop and nurture democracy in 
    Hong Kong.

shall submit to Congress a report concerning detargeting of Russian 
strategic missiles. The report shall address each of the following:
        (1) Whether a Russian ICBM that was formerly, but is no longer, 
    targeted at a site in the United States would be automatically 
    retargeted at a site in the United States in the event of the 
    accidental launch of the missile.
        (2) Whether missile detargeting would prevent or significantly 
    reduce the possibility of an unauthorized missile launch carried 
    out by the Russian General Staff and prevent or significantly 
    reduce the consequences to the United States of such a launch.
        (3) Whether missile detargeting would pose a significant 
    obstacle to an unauthorized launch carried out by an operational 
    level below the Russian General Staff if missile operators at such 
    an operational level acquired missile launch codes or had the 
    technical expertise to override missile launch codes.
        (4) The plausibility of an accidental launch of a Russian ICBM, 
    compared to the possibility of a deliberate missile launch, 
    authorized or unauthorized, resulting from Russian miscalculation, 
    overreaction, or aggression.
        (5) The national security benefits derived from detargeting 
    United States and Russian ICBMs.
        (6) The relative consequences to the United States of an 
    unauthorized or accidental launch of a Russian ICBM that has been 
    detargeted and one that has not been detargeted.
    (b) Definitions.--For purposes of subsection (a):
        (1) The term ``Russian ICBM'' means an intercontinental

available to the Department of Defense for fiscal year 1998 to 
implement an agreement that results in a substantial early deactivation 
during fiscal year 1998 of strategic forces may not be obligated for 
that purpose if in the report under subsection (c)(3) the President 
determines any of the following:
        (A) That procedures for monitoring and verification of 
    compliance by Russia with the terms of the agreement are 
    inadequate.
        (B) That the agreement will require early deactivations of 
    strategic forces by the United States to be carried out 
    substantially more rapidly than deactivations of strategic forces 
    by Russia.
        (C) That the proposed early deactivations will adversely affect 
    strategic stability.
    (2) The limitation in paragraph (1), if effective by reason of a

SEC. 1305. ADVICE TO THE PRESIDENT AND CONGRESS REGARDING THE SAFETY, 
              SECURITY, AND RELIABILITY OF UNITED STATES NUCLEAR 
              WEAPONS STOCKPILE.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
        (1) Nuclear weapons are the most destructive weapons on earth. 
    The United States and its allies continue to rely on nuclear 
    weapons to deter potential adversaries from using weapons of mass 
    destruction. The safety and reliability of the nuclear weapons 
    stockpile are essential to ensure its credibility as a deterrent.
        (2) On September 24, 1996, President Clinton signed the 
    Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty.
        (3) Effective as of September 30, 1996, the United States is 
    prohibited by section 507 of the Energy and Water Development 
    Appropriations Act, 1993 (Public Law 102-377; 42 U.S.C. 2121 note) 
    from conducting underground nuclear tests ``unless a foreign state 
    conducts a nuclear test after this date, at which time the 
    prohibition on United States nuclear testing is lifted''.
        (4) Section 1436(b) of the National Defense Authorization Act, 
    Fiscal Year 1989 (Public Law 100-456; 42 U.S.C. 2121 note) requires 
    the Secretary of Energy to ``establish and support a program to 
    assure that the United States is in a position to maintain the 
    reliability, safety, and continued deterrent effect of its 
    stockpile of existing nuclear weapons designs in the event that a 
    low-threshold or comprehensive test ban on nuclear explosive 
    testing is negotiated and ratified.''.
        (5) Section 3138(d) of the National Defense Authorization Act 
    for Fiscal Year 1994 (Public Law 103-160; 42 U.S.C. 2121 note) 
    required the President to submit an annual report to Congress which 
    sets forth ``any concerns with respect to the safety, security, 
    effectiveness, or reliability of existing United States nuclear 
    weapons raised by the Stockpile Stewardship Program of the 
    Department of Energy''.
        (6) President Clinton declared in July 1993 that ``to assure 
    that our nuclear deterrent remains unquestioned under a test ban, 
    we will explore other means of maintaining our confidence in the 
    safety, reliability, and the performance of our weapons''. This 
    decision was incorporated in a Presidential Directive.
        (7) Section 3138 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
    Fiscal Year 1994 (Public Law 103-160; 42 U.S.C. 2121 note) also 
    requires that the Secretary of Energy establish a ``stewardship 
    program to ensure the preservation of the core intellectual and 
    technical competencies of the United States in nuclear weapons''.
        (8) The plan of the Department of Energy to maintain the safety 
    and reliability of the United States nuclear weapons stockpile is 
    known as the Stockpile Stewardship and Management Program. The 
    ability of the United States to maintain and certify the safety, 
    security, effectiveness, and reliability of the nuclear weapons 
    stockpile without testing will require utilization of new and 
    sophisticated computational capabilities and diagnostic 
    technologies, methods, and procedures. Current diagnostic 
    technologies and laboratory testing techniques are insufficient to 
    certify the safety and reliability of the United States nuclear 
    weapons stockpile into the future. Whereas in the past laboratory 
    and diagnostic tools were used in conjunction with nuclear testing, 
    in the future they will provide, under the Department of Energy's 
    stockpile stewardship plan, the sole basis for assessing past test 
    data and for making judgments on phenomena observed in connection 
    with the aging of the stockpile.
        (9) Section 3159 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
    Fiscal Year 1997 (Public Law 104-201; 42 U.S.C. 7274o) requires 
    that the directors of the nuclear weapons laboratories and the 
    nuclear weapons production plants submit a report to the Assistant 
    Secretary of Energy for Defense Programs if they identify a problem 
    that has significant bearing on confidence in the safety or 
    reliability of a nuclear weapon or nuclear weapon type, that the 
    Assistant Secretary must transmit that report, along with any 
    comments, to the congressional defense committees and to the 
    Secretary of Energy and the Secretary of Defense, and that the 
    Joint Nuclear Weapons Council advise Congress regarding its 
    analysis of any such problems.
        (10) On August 11, 1995, President Clinton directed ``the 
    establishment of a new annual reporting and certification 
    requirement [to] ensure that our nuclear weapons remain safe and 
    reliable under a comprehensive test ban''.
        (11) On the same day, the President noted that the Secretary of 
    Defense and the Secretary of Energy have the responsibility, after 
    being ``advised by the Nuclear Weapons Council, the Directors of 
    DOE's nuclear weapons laboratories, and the Commander of United 
    States Strategic Command'', to provide the President with the 
    information regarding the certification referred to in paragraph 
    (10).
        (12) The Joint Nuclear Weapons Council established by section 
    179 of title 10, United States Code, is responsible for providing 
    advice to the Secretary of Energy and the Secretary of Defense 
    regarding nuclear weapons issues, including ``considering safety, 
    security, and control issues for existing weapons''. The Council 
    plays a critical role in advising Congress in matters relating to 
    nuclear weapons.
        (13) It is essential that the President receive well-informed, 
    objective, and honest opinions, including dissenting views, from 
    his advisers and technical experts regarding the safety, security, 
    effectiveness, and reliability of the nuclear weapons stockpile.
    (b) Policy.--
        (1) In general.--It is the policy of the United States--
            (A) to maintain a safe, secure, effective, and reliable 
        nuclear weapons stockpile; and
            (B) as long as other nations control or actively seek to 
        acquire nuclear weapons, to retain a credible nuclear 
        deterrent.
        (2) Nuclear weapons stockpile.--It is in the security interest 
    of the United States to sustain the United States nuclear weapons 
    stockpile through a program of stockpile stewardship, carried out 
    at the nuclear weapons laboratories and nuclear weapons production

        (3) Sense of congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
            (A) the United States should retain a triad of strategic 
        nuclear forces sufficient to deter any future hostile foreign 
        leadership with access to strategic nuclear forces from acting 
        against the vital interests of the United States;
            (B) the United States should continue to maintain nuclear 
        forces of sufficient size and capability to implement an 
        effective and robust deterrent strategy; and
            (C) the advice of the persons required to provide the 
        President and Congress with assurances of the safety, security, 
        effectiveness, and reliability of the nuclear weapons force 
        should be scientifically based, without regard for politics, 
        and of the highest quality and integrity.

SEC. 1307. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN UNITED 
              STATES OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE CHEMICAL WEAPONS CONVENTION 
              AND ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
        (1) The Chemical Weapons Convention requires the destruction of 
    the United States stockpile of lethal chemical agents and munitions 
    by April 29, 2007 (not later than 10 years after the Convention's 
    entry into force).
        (2) The President has substantial authority under existing law 
    to ensure that--
            (A) the technologies necessary to destroy the stockpile are 
        developed;
            (B) the facilities necessary to destroy the stockpile are 
        constructed; and
            (C) Federal, State, and local environmental laws and 
        regulations do not impair the ability of the United States to 
        comply with its obligations under the Convention.
        (3) The Comptroller General has concluded (in GAO Report NSIAD 
    97018 of February 1997) that--
            (A) obtaining the necessary Federal and State permits that 
        are required under Federal environmental laws and regulations 
        for building and operating the chemical agents and munitions 
        destruction facilities is among the most unpredictable factors 
        in the chemical demilitarization program; and
            (B) program cost and schedule are largely driven by the 
        degree to which States and local communities are in agreement 
        with proposed disposal methods and whether those methods meet 
        environmental concerns.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that the 
President--
        (1) should use the authority of the President under existing 
    law to ensure that the United States is able to construct and 
    operate the facilities necessary to destroy the United States 
    stockpile of lethal chemical agents and munitions within the time 
    allowed by the Chemical Weapons Convention; and
        (2) while carrying out the obligations of the United States 
    under the Convention, should encourage negotiations between 
    appropriate Federal officials and officials of the State and local 
    governments concerned to attempt to meet their concerns regarding 
    compliance with Federal and State environmental laws and 
    regulations and other concerns about the actions being taken to 
    carry out those obligations.
    (c) Chemical Weapons Convention Defined.--For the purposes of this 
section, the terms ``Chemical Weapons Convention'' and ``Convention'' 
mean the Convention on the Prohibition of the Development, Production, 
Stockpiling and Use of Chemical Weapons and on Their Destruction, 
ratified by the United States on April 25, 1997, and entered into force 
on April 29, 1997.

    year 1996,'' and by inserting ``, or $15,000,000 for fiscal year 
    1998'' before the period at the end; and
        (2) in subsection (f), by striking out ``1997'' and inserting 
    in lieu thereof ``1998''.

SEC. 1309. ANNUAL REPORT ON MORATORIUM ON USE BY ARMED FORCES OF 
              ANTIPERSONNEL LANDMINES.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
        (1) The United States has stated its support for a ban on 
    antipersonnel landmines that is global in scope and verifiable.
        (2) On May 16, 1996, the President announced that the United 
    States, as a matter of policy, would eliminate its stockpile of 
    non-self-destructing antipersonnel landmines, except those used for 
    training purposes and in Korea, and that the United States would 
    reserve the right to use self-destructing antipersonnel landmines 
    in the event of conflict.
        (3) On May 16, 1996, the President also announced that the 
    United States would lead an effort to negotiate an international 
    treaty permanently banning the use of all antipersonnel landmines.
        (4) The United States is currently participating at the United 
    Nations Conference on Disarmament in negotiations aimed at 
    achieving a global ban on the use of antipersonnel landmines.
        (5) On August 18, 1997, the administration agreed to 
    participate in international negotiations sponsored by Canada (the 
    so-called ``Ottawa process'') designed to achieve a treaty that 
    would outlaw the production, use, and sale of antipersonnel 
    landmines.
        (6) On September 17, 1997, the President announced that the 
    United States would not sign the antipersonnel landmine treaty 
    concluded in Oslo, Norway, by participants in the Ottawa process 
    because the treaty would not provide a geographic exception to 
    allow the United States to stockpile and use antipersonnel 
    landmines in Korea or an exemption that would preserve the ability 
    of the United States to use mixed antitank mine systems which could 
    be used to deter an armored assault against United States forces.
        (7) The President also announced a change in United States 
    policy whereby the United States--
            (A) would no longer deploy antipersonnel landmines, 
        including self-destructing antipersonnel landmines, by 2003, 
        except in Korea;
            (B) would seek to field alternatives by that date, or by 
        2006 in the case of Korea;
            (C) would undertake a new initiative in the United Nations 
        Conference on Disarmament to establish a global ban on the 
        transfer of antipersonnel landmines; and
            (D) would increase its current humanitarian demining 
        activities around the world.
        (8) The President's decision would allow the continued use by 
    United States forces of self-destructing antipersonnel landmines 
    that are used as part of a mixed antitank mine system.
        (9) Under existing law (as provided in section 580 of Public 
    Law 104-107; 110 Stat. 751), on February 12, 1999, the United 
    States will implement a one-year moratorium on the use of 
    antipersonnel landmines by United States forces except along 
    internationally recognized national borders or in demilitarized 
    zones within a perimeter marked area that is monitored by military 
    personnel and protected by adequate means to ensure the exclusion 
    of civilians.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
        (1) the United States should not implement a moratorium on the 
    use of antipersonnel landmines by United States Armed Forces in a 
    manner that would endanger United States personnel or undermine the 
    military effectiveness of United States Armed Forces in executing 
    their missions; and
        (2) the United States should pursue the development of 
    alternatives to self-destructing antipersonnel landmines.
    (c) Annual Report.--Not later than December 31 each year, the 
Secretary of Defense shall submit to the congressional defense 
committees a report concerning antipersonnel landmines. Each such 
report shall include the Secretary's description of the following:
        (1) The military utility of the continued deployment and use by 
    the United States of antipersonnel landmines.
        (2) The effect of a moratorium on the production, stockpiling, 
    and use of antipersonnel landmines on the ability of United States 
    forces to deter and defend against attack on land by hostile 
    forces, including on the Korean peninsula.
        (3) Progress in developing and fielding systems that are 
    effective substitutes for antipersonnel landmines, including an 
    identification and description of the types of systems that are 
    being developed and fielded, the costs associated with those 
    systems, and the estimated timetable for developing and fielding 
    those systems.
        (4) The effect of a moratorium on the use of antipersonnel 
    landmines on the military effectiveness of current antitank mine 
    systems.
        (5) The number and type of pure antipersonnel landmines that 
    remain in the United States inventory and that are subject to 
    elimination under the President's September 17, 1997, declaration 
    on United States antipersonnel landmine policy.
        (6) The number and type of mixed antitank mine systems that are 
    in the United States inventory, the locations where they are 
    deployed, and their effect on the deterrence and warfighting 
    ability of United States Armed Forces.
        (7) The effect of the elimination of pure antipersonnel 
    landmines on the warfighting effectiveness of the United States 
    Armed Forces.
        (8) The costs already incurred and anticipated of eliminating 
    antipersonnel landmines from the United States inventory in 
    accordance with the policy enunciated by the President on September 
    17, 1997.
        (9) The benefits that would result to United States military 
    and civilian personnel from an international treaty banning the 
    production, use, transfer, and stockpiling of antipersonnel 
    landmines.

SEC. 2825. SENSE OF SENATE REGARDING UTILIZATION OF SAVINGS DERIVED 
              FROM BASE CLOSURE PROCESS.

    (a) Findings.--The Senate makes the following findings:
        (1) Since 1988, the Department of Defense has conducted four 
    rounds of closures and realignments of military installations in 
    the United States, resulting in the closure of 97 installations.
        (2) The cost of carrying out the closure or realignment of 
    installations covered by such rounds is estimated by the Secretary 
    of Defense to be $23,000,000,000.
        (3) The savings expected as a result of the closure or 
    realignment of such installations are estimated by the Secretary to 
    be $10,300,000,000 through fiscal year 1996 and $36,600,000,000 
    through 2001.
        (4) In addition to such savings, the Secretary has estimated 
    recurring savings as a result of the closure or realignment of such 
    installations of approximately $5,600,000,000 annually.
        (5) The fiscal year 1997 budget request for the Department 
    assumed a savings of between $2,000,000,000 and $3,000,000,000 as a 
    result of the closure or realignment of such installations, which 
    savings were to be dedicated to the modernization of the Armed 
    Forces. The savings assumed in the budget request were not 
    realized.
        (6) The fiscal year 1998 budget request for the Department 
    assumes a savings of $5,000,000,000 as a result of the closure or 
    realignment of such installations, which savings are to be 
    dedicated to the modernization of the Armed Forces.
    (b) Sense of Senate on Use of Savings Resulting From Base Closure 
Process.--It is the sense of the Senate that the savings identified in 
the report under section 2824 should be made available to the 
Department of Defense solely for purposes of the modernization of new 
weapon systems (including research, development, test, and evaluation 
relating to such modernization) and should be used by the Department 
solely for such purposes.

Defense and the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation shall

espionage, arms smuggling, or other illegal activities that could 
result from a conveyance to COSCO and recommend appropriate action to 
address any such risk.
    (e) Waiver Authority.--(1) The President may waive the prohibitions 
contained in this section with respect to a conveyance of property 
described in subsection (a) to COSCO if the President determines that--
