        subsistence for enlisted members under section 402(b)(1) of 
        title 37, United States Code, as amended by subsection (a).

            (1) Enlisted members.--
                    (A) Types of entitlement.--An enlisted member is 
                entitled to the basic allowance for subsistence, on a

                circumstances:
                            (i) When rations in kind are not available.

                        granted.
                            (iii) When assigned to duty under emergency 
                        conditions where no messing facilities of the 
                        United States are available.
                    (B) Other entitlement circumstances.--An enlisted 
                member is entitled to the allowance while on an 
                authorized leave of 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

                    (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. 103. 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

reason of paragraph (1).
    ``(4) The family separation basic allowance for housing under this

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).

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).

member is entitled under paragraph (2) is the amount equal to the 
difference between--

        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

    ``(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)

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

        formulary for military treatment facility pharmacies and 
        civilian contractor pharmacy benefit administrators.
            (2) The reasons that military treatment facilities deny 
        covered beneficiaries access to pharmacy care and shift such 
        beneficiaries to other sources of pharmacy care.
            (3) The merits and feasibility of using private sector cost 
        control mechanisms implemented by authorized civilian 
        contractors in the Department of Defense medical programs, and 
        the existence of any barriers to the use of such mechanisms, 
        including factors that 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.
            (5) The existence of options for increasing the discounts 
        available to TRICARE program contractors without undermining 
        controls for preventing diversion of items procured by the 
        Department of Defense to nonmilitary populations.

SEC. 252. 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.

    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 
of the Armed Forces could be exposed in that theater during the 
operation.

to Congress a report evaluating the effectiveness of medical research 
initiatives regarding Gulf War illnesses. The report shall address the 
following:

        efforts, including the activities undertaken pursuant to 
        section 743 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
        Fiscal Year 1997 (Public Law 104-201; 10 U.S.C. 1074 note), 
        section 722 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
        Fiscal Year 1995 (Public Law 103-337; 10 U.S.C. 1074 note), and 
        sections 270 and 271 of the National Defense Authorization Act 
        for Fiscal Year 1994 (Public Law 103-160; 107 Stat. 1613).
            (2) Recommendations regarding additional research regarding 
        Gulf War illnesses, including research regarding the nature and 
        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. 270. 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. 271. 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. 1025. 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 
separately submit to the President and the congressional defense 
committees a report regarding the potential national security 
implications of conveying property described in subsection (a) to 
COSCO. Each report shall specifically identify any increased risk of 
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--

        required by subsection (d); and
            (B) the conveyance would not adversely affect national 
        security or significantly increase the counter-intelligence 
        burden on the intelligence community.
    (2) Any waiver under paragraph (1) shall take effect 30 days after 
the date on which the President notifies the Speaker of the House of 
Representatives and the President of the Senate of the President's 
determination to use the waiver authority provided under this 
subsection.
