    SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

        (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
                (1) Senator Strom Thurmond of South Carolina first became a
            member of the Committee on Armed Services of the United States
            Senate on January 19, 1959. His continuous service on that
            committee covers more than 75 percent of the period of the
            existence of the committee, which was established immediately
            after World War II, and more than 20 percent of the period of
            the existence of military and naval affairs committees of
            Congress, the original bodies of which were formed in 1816.
                (2) Senator Thurmond came to Congress and the committee as
            a distinguished veteran of service, including combat service,
            in the Armed Forces of the United States.
                (3) Senator Thurmond was commissioned as a reserve second
            lieutenant of infantry in 1924. He served with great
            distinction with the First Army in the European Theater of
            Operations during World War II, landing in Normandy in a glider
            with the 82nd Airborne Division on D-Day. He was transferred to
            the Pacific Theater of Operations at the end of the war in
            Europe and was serving in the Philippines when Japan
            surrendered.
                (4) Having reverted to Reserve status at the end of World
            War II, Senator Thurmond was promoted to brigadier general in
            the United States Army Reserve in 1954. He served as President
            of the Reserve Officers Association beginning that same year
            and ending in 1955. Senator Thurmond was promoted to major
            general in the United States Army Reserve in 1959. He
            transferred to the Retired Reserve on January 1, 1965, after 36
            years of commissioned service.
                (5) The distinguished character of Senator Thurmond's
            military service has been recognized by awards of numerous
            decorations that include the Legion of Merit, the Bronze Star
            medal with ``V'' device, the Army Commendation Medal, the
            Belgian Cross of the Order of the Crown, and the French Croix
            de Guerre.
                (6) Senator Thurmond has served as Chairman of the
            Committee on Armed Services of the Senate since 1995 and as the
            ranking minority member of the committee from 1993 to 1995.
            Senator Thurmond concludes his service as Chairman at the end
            of the One Hundred Fifth Congress, but is to continue to serve
            the committee as a member in successive Congresses.
                (7) This Act is the fortieth annual authorization bill for
            the Department of Defense for which Senator Thurmond has taken
            a major responsibility as a member of the Committee on Armed
            Services of the Senate.
                (8) Senator Thurmond, as officer and legislator, has made
            matchless contributions to the national security of the United
            States that, in duration and in quality, are unique.
                (9) It is altogether fitting and proper that this Act, the
            last annual authorization Act for the national defense that
            Senator Thurmond manages in and for the United States Senate as
            Chairman of the Committee on Armed Services of the Senate, be
            named in his honor.
        (b) Short Title.--This Act shall be cited as the ``Strom Thurmond
    National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1999''.

            major aircraft acquisition program that the amount of flight
            testing completed for the program was sufficient or not
            sufficient to justify a decision to proceed into low-rate
            initial production.
                (D) A determination by the Secretary that it is more
            financially advantageous for the Department to proceed into
            production of Lot II F-22 aircraft than to delay production
            until completion of 433 hours of flight testing, together with
            the reasons for that determination.
        (c) Certification by the Director of Operational Test and
    Evaluation.--Upon the completion of 183 hours of the flight testing of
    F-22 flight test vehicles provided for in the test and evaluation
    master plan for the F-22 aircraft program, as in effect on October 1,

    SEC. 214. AIRBORNE LASER PROGRAM.

        (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
                (1) The development plan of the Department of Defense for
            the Airborne Laser Program does not include the basic
            validation of certain key technologies until 2002, which is
            shortly before the program is scheduled to enter the
            engineering and manufacturing development phase of development.
                (2) It is possible that the technical risk of the Airborne
            Laser Program could be substantially reduced by restructuring
            the program to include a technology demonstration using a low
            power laser device to collect optical data in an operationally
            representative environment.
                (3) Department of Defense officials are currently planning
            to have expended approximately $1,300,000,000 on the Airborne
            Laser Program by the end of fiscal year 2002, and a total of
            $6,300,000,000 by the end of fiscal year 2008 for the
            development of the system and the procurement of seven airborne
            laser aircraft.
                (4) Due to the likely vulnerability of an airborne laser
            system to air defense threats, the limited lethal range of the
            laser device, and other operational limitations of the system,
            the utility of the airborne laser system will be severely
            restricted under a wide range of operational scenarios.
        (b) Assessment of Technical and Operational Limitations.--The
    Secretary of Defense shall conduct an assessment of the technical
    obstacles and operational shortcomings expected for the Airborne Laser
    Program. In conducting the assessment, the Secretary shall--
                (1) require the Panel on Reducing Risk in Ballistic Missile
            Defense Test Programs to evaluate the adequacy of the test
            program for the Airborne Laser Program; and
                (2) establish an independent team of persons from outside
            the Department of Defense who are experts in relevant fields to
            review the operational limitations and issues associated with
            the Airborne Laser Program.
        (c) Report on Assessment.--Not later than March 15, 1999, the
    Secretary shall submit a report on the assessment to Congress. The
    report shall include the Secretary's findings and any recommendations
    that the Secretary considers appropriate.
        (d) Funding for Program.--Of the amount authorized to be
    appropriated under section 201(3), $195,219,000 shall be available for
    the Airborne Laser Program.
        (e) Limitation.--Of the amount made available pursuant to
    subsection (d), not more than $150,000,000 may be obligated until 30
    days after the Secretary submits the report required under subsection
    (c).

                    continuously while not hindering the use of the Global
                    Positioning System by the United States and its allies
                    for military purposes;
                        (B) to ensure that the Armed Forces of the United
                    States have the capability to use the Global
                    Positioning System effectively despite hostile attempts
                    to prevent the use of the system by such forces; and
                        (C) to develop measures for preventing hostile use
                    of the Global Positioning System in a particular area

    to the authorization of payment of settlement with Canada in subsection
    (b) regarding environmental cleanup at formerly used defense sites in
    Canada:
                (1) A unique and longstanding national security alliance
            exists between the United States and Canada.
                (2) The sites covered by the settlement were formerly used
            by the United States and Canada for their mutual defense.
                (3) There is no formal treaty or international agreement
            between the United States and Canada regarding the
            environmental cleanup of the sites.
                (4) Environmental contamination at some of the sites could
            pose a substantial risk to the health and safety of the United
            States citizens residing in States near the border between the
            United States and Canada.
                (5) The United States and Canada reached a negotiated
            agreement for an ex-gratia reimbursement of Canada in full
            satisfaction of claims of Canada relating to environmental
            contamination which agreement was embodied in an exchange of
            Notes between the Government of the United States and the
            Government of Canada.
                (6) There is a unique factual basis for authorizing a
            reimbursement of Canada for environmental cleanup at sites in
            Canada after the United States departure from such sites.
                (7) The basis for and authorization of such reimbursement
            does not extend to similar claims by other nations.
                (8) The Government of Canada is committed to spending the
            entire $100,000,000 of the reimbursement authorized in
            subsection (b) in the United States, which will benefit United
            States industry and United States workers.

    Secretary of Defense may, using funds specified under subsection (c),

    full satisfaction of any and all claims asserted against the United
    States by Canada for environmental cleanup of sites in Canada that were
    formerly used for the mutual defense of the United States and Canada.

    $10,000,000, in constant fiscal year 1996 dollars, into the Foreign
    Military Sales Trust Account for purposes of Canada.
        (3) A payment may be made under paragraph (1) in any fiscal year
    after fiscal year 1999 only if the Secretary of Defense submits to
    Congress with the budget for such fiscal year under section 1105 of
    title 31, United States Code, evidence that the cumulative amount
    expended by the Government of Canada for environmental cleanup
    activities in Canada during any fiscal years before such fiscal year in
    which a payment under that paragraph was authorized was an amount equal
    to or greater than the aggregate amount of the payments under that
    paragraph during such fiscal years.
        (c) Source of Funds.--A payment may be made under subsection (b) in
    a fiscal year from amounts appropriated pursuant to the authorization
    of appropriations for the Department of Defense for such fiscal year
    for Operation and Maintenance, Defense-Wide.

    Stat. 2732).
        (c) Availability of Fiscal Year 1999 Funds.--(1) Of the amount

    SEC. 328. SENSE OF SENATE REGARDING OIL SPILL PREVENTION TRAINING FOR
                  PERSONNEL ON BOARD NAVY VESSELS.

        (a) Findings.--The Senate makes the following findings:
                (1) There have been six significant oil spills in Puget
            Sound, Washington, in 1998, five at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard
            (including three from the U.S.S. Kitty Hawk, one from the
            U.S.S. Carl Vinson, and one from the U.S.S. Sacramento) and one
            at Naval Station Everett from the U.S.S. Paul F. Foster.
                (2) Navy personnel on board vessels, and not shipyard
            employees, were primarily responsible for a majority of these
            oil spills at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard.
                (3) Oil spills have the potential to damage the local
            environment, killing microscopic organisms, contributing to air
            pollution, harming plants and marine animals, and increasing
            overall pollution levels in Puget Sound.
        (b) Sense of Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that the
    Secretary of the Navy should take immediate action to significantly
    reduce the risk of vessel oil spills, including the minimization of
    fuel oil transfers, the assurance of proper training and qualifications
    of all Naval personnel in occupations that may contribute to or
    minimize the risk of shipboard oil spills, and the improvement of
    liaison with local authorities concerning oil spill prevention and
    response activities.

                    for the fact that such member or former member is under
                    60 years of age.

        (b) Manner of Making Elections.--
                (1) In general.--An election under this section must be
            made in writing, signed by the person making the election, and

            such election shall be made subject to the same conditions, and
            with the same opportunities for designation of beneficiaries
            and specification of base amount, that apply under the Survivor
            Benefit Plan or the Supplemental Survivor Benefit Plan, as the
            case may be. A person making an election under subsection (a)

            not be required by any court. An election to participate or not

            the concurrence of a spouse or former spouse of the person.
        (c) Effective Date for Elections.--Any such election shall be
    effective as of the first day of the first calendar month following the

    the one-year period beginning on March 1, 1999.

    Making Election.--If a person making an election under this section
    dies before the end of the two-year period beginning on the effective
    date of the election, the election is void and the amount of any
    reduction in retired pay of the person that is attributable to the
    election shall be paid in a lump sum to the person who would have been
    the deceased person's beneficiary under the voided election if the
    deceased person had died after the end of such two-year period.
        (f) Applicability of Certain Provisions of Law.--The provisions of
    sections 1449, 1453, and 1454 of title 10, United States Code, are
    applicable to a person making an election, and to an election, under
    this section in the same manner as if the election were made under the
    Survivor Benefit Plan or the Supplemental Survivor Benefit Plan, as the
    case may be.

                (1) Premiums to be charged.--The Secretary of Defense shall
            prescribe in regulations premiums which a person electing under
            this section shall be required to pay for participating in the
            Survivor Benefit Plan pursuant to the election. The total
            amount of the premiums to be paid by a person under the
            regulations shall be equal to the sum of--
                        (A) the total amount by which the retired pay of
                    the person would have been reduced before the effective
                    date of the election if the person had elected to
                    participate in the Survivor Benefit Plan (for the same
                    base amount specified in the election) at the first
                    opportunity that was afforded the member to participate
                    under chapter 73 of title 10, United States Code;
                        (B) interest on the amounts by which the retired
                    pay of the person would have been so reduced, computed
                    from the dates on which the retired pay would have been
                    so reduced at such rate or rates and according to such
                    methodology as the Secretary of Defense determines
                    reasonable; and
                        (C) any additional amount that the Secretary
                    determines necessary to protect the actuarial soundness
                    of the Department of Defense Military Retirement Fund
                    against any increased risk for the fund that is
                    associated with the election.
                (2) Premiums to be credited to retirement fund.--Premiums

    SEC. 705. ENHANCED DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE ORGAN AND TISSUE DONOR
                  PROGRAM.

        (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
                (1) Organ and tissue transplantation is one of the most
            remarkable medical success stories in the history of medicine.
                (2) Each year, the number of people waiting for organ or
            tissue transplantation increases. It is estimated that there
            are approximately 39,000 patients, ranging in age from babies
            to those in retirement, awaiting transplants of kidneys,
            hearts, livers, and other solid organs.
                (3) The Department of Defense has made significant progress
            in increasing the awareness of the importance of organ and
            tissue donations among members of the Armed Forces.
                (4) The inclusion of organ and tissue donor elections in
            the Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS)
            central database through the Real-time Automated Personnel
            Identification System (RAPIDS) represents a major step in
            ensuring that organ and tissue donor elections are a matter of
            record and are accessible in a timely manner.
        (b) Responsibilities of the Secretary of Defense.--The Secretary of
    Defense shall ensure that the advanced systems developed for recording
    Armed Forces members' personal data and information (such as the
    SMARTCARD, MEDITAG, and Personal Information Carrier) include the
    capability to record organ and tissue donation elections.
        (c) Responsibilities of the Secretaries of the Military
    Departments.--The Secretaries of the military departments shall ensure
    that--
                (1) appropriate information about organ and tissue donation
            is provided to each recruit and officer candidate of the Armed
            Forces during initial training;
                (2) members of the Armed Forces are given recurring,
            specific opportunities to elect to be organ or tissue donors
            during service in the Armed Forces and upon retirement; and
                (3) members of the Armed Forces electing to be organ or
            tissue donors are encouraged to advise their next of kin
            concerning the donation decision and any subsequent change of
            that decision.
        (d) Responsibilities of the Surgeons General of the Military
    Department.--The Surgeons General of the Armed Forces shall ensure

            officer medical personnel to facilitate the effective operation
            of organ and tissue donation activities under garrison
            conditions and, to the extent possible, under operational
            conditions; and
                (2) medical logistical activities can, to the extent
            possible without jeopardizing operational requirements, support
            an effective organ and tissue donation program.
        (e) Report.--Not later than September 1, 1999, 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 status of the implementation of this section.

    SEC. 706. JOINT DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE AND DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS
                  AFFAIRS REVIEWS RELATING TO INTERDEPARTMENTAL COOPERATION
                  IN THE DELIVERY OF MEDICAL CARE.

        (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
                (1) The military health care system of the Department of
            Defense and the Veterans Health Administration of the
            Department of Veterans Affairs are national institutions that
            collectively manage more than 1,500 hospitals, clinics, and
            health care facilities worldwide to provide services to more
            than 11,000,000 beneficiaries.
                (2) In the post-Cold War era, these institutions are in a
            profound transition that involves challenging opportunities.
                (3) During the period from 1988 to 1998, the number of
            military medical personnel has declined by 15 percent and the
            number of military hospitals has been reduced by one-third.
                (4) During the two years since 1996, the Department of
            Veterans Affairs has revitalized its structure by
            decentralizing authority into 22 Veterans Integrated Service
            Networks.
                (5) In the face of increasing costs of medical care,
            increased demands for health care services, and increasing
            budgetary constraints, the Department of Defense and the
            Department of Veterans Affairs have embarked on a variety of
            dynamic and innovative cooperative programs ranging from shared
            services to joint venture operations of medical facilities.
                (6) In 1984, there was a combined total of 102 Department
            of Veterans Affairs and Department of Defense facilities with
            sharing agreements. By 1997, that number had grown to 420.
            During the six years from fiscal year 1992 through fiscal year
            1997, shared services increased from slightly over 3,000
            services to more than 6,000 services ranging from major medical
            and surgical services, laundry, blood, and laboratory services
            to unusual speciality care services.
                (7) The Department of Defense and the Department of
            Veterans Affairs are conducting four health care joint ventures
            in New Mexico, Nevada, Texas, Oklahoma, and are planning to
            conduct four more such ventures in Alaska, Florida, Hawaii, and
            California.
        (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
                (1) the Department of Defense and the Department of
            Veterans Affairs are to be commended for the cooperation
            between the two departments in the delivery of medical care, of
            which the cooperation involved in the establishment and
            operation of the Department of Defense and the Department of
            Veterans Affairs Executive Council is a praiseworthy example;
                (2) the two departments are encouraged to continue to
            explore new opportunities to enhance the availability and
            delivery of medical care to beneficiaries by further enhancing
            the cooperative efforts of the departments; and
                (3) enhanced cooperation is encouraged for--
                        (A) the general areas of access to quality medical
                    care, identification and elimination of impediments to
                    enhanced cooperation, and joint research and program
                    development; and
                        (B) the specific areas in which there is
                    significant potential to achieve progress in
                    cooperation in a short term, including computerization
                    of patient records systems, participation of the
                    Department of Veterans Affairs in the TRICARE program,
                    pharmaceutical programs, and joint physical
                    examinations.
        (c) Joint Survey of Populations Served.--(1) The Secretary of
    Defense and the Secretary of Veterans Affairs shall jointly conduct a
    survey of their respective medical care beneficiary populations to
    identify, by category of beneficiary (defined as the Secretaries
    consider appropriate), the expectations of, requirements for, and
    behavior patterns of the beneficiaries with respect to medical care.
    The two Secretaries shall develop the protocol for the survey jointly,
    but shall obtain the services of an entity independent of the
    Department of Defense and the Department of Veterans Affairs for
    carrying out the survey.
        (2) The survey shall include the following:
                (A) Demographic characteristics, economic characteristics,
            and geographic location of beneficiary populations with regard
            to catchment or service areas.
                (B) The types and frequency of care required by veterans,
            retirees, and dependents within catchment or service areas of
            Department of Defense and Veterans Affairs medical facilities
            and outside those areas.
                (C) The numbers of, characteristics of, and types of
            medical care needed by the veterans, retirees, and dependents
            who, though eligible for medical care in Department of Defense
            or Department of Veterans Affairs treatment facilities or other
            federally funded medical programs, choose not to seek medical
            care from those facilities or under those programs, and the
            reasons for that choice.
                (D) The obstacles or disincentives for seeking medical care
            from such facilities or under such programs that veterans,
            retirees, and dependents perceive.
                (E) Any other matters that the Secretary of Defense and the
            Secretary of Veterans Affairs consider appropriate for the
            survey.
        (3) The Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of Veterans Affairs
    shall submit a report on the results of the survey to the appropriate
    committees of Congress. The report shall contain the matters described
    in paragraph (2) and any proposals for legislation that the Secretaries
    recommend for enhancing Department of Defense and Department of
    Veterans Affairs cooperative efforts with respect to the delivery of
    medical care.
        (d) Review of Law and Policies.--(1) The Secretary of Defense and
    the Secretary of Veterans Affairs shall jointly conduct a review to
    identify impediments to cooperation between the Department of Defense
    and the Department of Veterans Affairs regarding the delivery of
    medical care. The matters reviewed shall include the following:
                (A) All laws, policies, and regulations, and any attitudes
            of beneficiaries of the health care systems of the two
            departments, that have the effect of preventing the
            establishment, or limiting the effectiveness, of cooperative
            health care programs of the departments.
                (B) The requirements and practices involved in the
            credentialling and licensure of health care providers.
                (C) The perceptions of beneficiaries in a variety of
            categories (defined as the Secretaries consider appropriate)
            regarding the various Federal health care systems available for
            their use.
        (2) The Secretaries shall jointly submit a report on the results of
    the review to the appropriate committees of Congress. The report shall
    include any proposals for legislation that the Secretaries recommend
    for eliminating or reducing impediments to interdepartmental
    cooperation that are identified during the review.
        (e) Participation in TRICARE.--(1) The Secretary of Defense shall
    review the TRICARE program to identify opportunities for increased
    participation by the Department of Veterans Affairs in that program.
    The ongoing collaboration between Department of Defense officials and
    Department of Veterans Affairs officials regarding increasing the
    participation shall be included among the matters reviewed.
        (2) The Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of Veterans Affairs
    shall jointly submit to the appropriate committees of Congress a
    semiannual report on the status of the review and on efforts to
    increase the participation of the Department of Veterans Affairs in the
    TRICARE program. No report is required under this paragraph after the
    submission of a semiannual report in which the Secretaries declare that
    the Department of Veterans Affairs is participating in the TRICARE
    program to the extent that can reasonably be expected to be attained.
        (f) Pharmaceutical Benefits and Programs.--(1) The Federal
    Pharmaceutical Steering Committee shall--
                (A) undertake a comprehensive examination of existing
            pharmaceutical benefits and programs for beneficiaries of

            released a report highlighting a 75 percent reduction in
            aviation Class A mishaps, a 70 percent reduction in aviation
            mishap fatalities and a 65 percent reduction in Class A mishap
            rates from 1975-1995 (Military Aircraft Safety--Significant
            Improvements since 1975).
                (2) In February 1998, the Government Accounting Office
            completed a follow-up review of military aircraft safety,
            noting that the military experienced fewer serious aviation
            mishaps in fiscal years 1996 and 1997 than in previous fiscal
            years (Military Aircraft Safety: Serious Accidents Remain at
            Historically Low Levels).
                (3) The report required by section 1046 of the National
            Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 1998 (Public Law 105-
            85; 111 Stat. 1888) concluded, ``DoD found no evidence that
            changing existing investigation processes to more closely
            resemble those of the NTSB would help DoD to find more answers
            more quickly, or accurately''.
                (4) The Department of Defense must further improve its
            aviation safety by fully examining all options for improving or
            replacing its current aviation accident investigation
            processes.
                (5) The inter-service working group formed as a result of
            that report has contributed to progress in military aviation
            accident investigations by identifying ways to improve family
            assistance, as has the formal policy direction coordinated by
            the Office of the Secretary of Defense.
                (6) Such progress includes the issuance of Air Force
            Instruction 90-701 entitled ``Assistance to Families of Persons
            Involved in Air Force Aviation Mishaps'', that attempts to meet
            the need for a more timely flow of relevant information to
            families, a family liaison officer, and the establishment of
            the Air Force Office of Family Assistance. However, formal
            policy directions and Air Force instructions have not
            adequately addressed the failure to provide primary next of kin
            of members of the Armed Forces involved in military aviation
            accidents with interim reports regarding the course of
            investigations into such accidents, and the Department of
            Defense must improve its procedures for informing the families
            of the persons involved in military aviation mishaps.
                (7) The report referred to in paragraph (3) concluded that
            the Department would ``benefit from the disappearance of the
            misperception that the privileged portion of the safety
            investigation exists to hide unfavorable information''.
                (8) That report further specified that ``[e]ach Military
            Department has procedures in place to place to provide redacted
            copies of the final [privileged] safety report to the families.
            However, families must formally request a copy of the final
            safety investigation report''.
        (9) Current efforts to improve family notification would be
    enhanced by the issuance by the Secretary of Defense of uniform
    regulations to improve the timeliness and reliability of information
    provided to the primary next of kin of persons involved in military
    aviation accidents during and following both the legal investigation
    and safety investigation phases of such investigations.
        (b) Evaluation of Department of Defense Aviation Accident
    Investigation Procedures.--(1) The Secretary of Defense shall establish
    a task force to--
                (A) review the procedures employed by the Department of
            Defense to conduct military aviation accident investigations;
            and
                (B) identify mechanisms for improving such investigations
            and the military aviation accident investigation process.
        (2) The Secretary shall appoint to the task force the following:
                (A) An appropriate number of members of the Armed Forces,
            including both members of the regular components and the
            reserve components, who have experience relating to military
            aviation or investigations into military aviation accidents.
                (B) An appropriate number of former members of the Armed
            Forces who have such experience.
                (C) With the concurrence of the member concerned, a member
            of the National Transportation Safety Board.
        (3)(A) The task force shall submit to Congress an interim report
    and a final report on its activities under this subsection. The interim
    report shall be submitted on December 1, 1998, and the final report
    shall be submitted on March 31, 1999.
        (B) Each report under subparagraph (A) shall include the following:
                (i) An assessment of the advisability of conducting all
            military aviation accident investigations through an entity
            that is independent of the military departments.
                (ii) An assessment of the effectiveness of the current
            military aviation accident investigation process in identifying
            the cause of military aviation accidents and correcting
            problems so identified in a timely manner.
                (iii) An assessment whether or not the procedures for
            sharing the results of military aviation accident
            investigations among the military departments should be
            improved.
                (iv) An assessment of the advisability of centralized
            training and instruction for military aircraft investigators.
                (v) An assessment of any costs or cost avoidances that
            would result from the elimination of any overlap in military
            aviation accident investigation activities conducted under the
            current so-called ``two-track'' investigation process.
                (vi) Any improvements or modifications in the current
            military aviation accident investigation process that the task
            force considers appropriate to reduce the potential for
            aviation accidents and increase public confidence in the
            process.
        (c) Uniform Regulations for Release of Interim Safety Investigation
    Reports.--(1)(A) Not later than May 1, 1999, the Secretary of Defense
    shall prescribe regulations that provide for the release to the family
    members of persons involved in military aviation accidents, and to
    members of the public, of reports referred to in paragraph (2).
        (B) The regulations shall apply uniformly to each military
    department.
        (2) A report under paragraph (1) is a report on the findings of any
    ongoing privileged safety investigation into an accident referred to in
    that paragraph. Such report shall be in a redacted form or other form
    appropriate to preserve witness confidentiality and to minimize the
    effects of the release of information in such report on national
    security.
        (3) Reports under paragraph (1) shall be made available--
                (A) in the case of family members, at least once every 30
            days or upon the development of a new or significantly changed
            finding during the course of the investigation concerned; and
                (B) in the case of members of the public, on request.

    SEC. 1026. REPORT ON CONTINUITY OF ESSENTIAL OPERATIONS AT RISK OF
                  FAILURE BECAUSE OF COMPUTER SYSTEMS THAT ARE NOT YEAR
                  2000 COMPLIANT.

        (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
                (1) Because of the way computers store and process dates,
            most computers will not function properly, or at all, after
            January 1, 2000, a problem that is commonly referred to as the
            year 2000 problem.
                (2) The United States Government is currently conducting a
            massive program to identify and correct computer systems that
            suffer from the year 2000 problem.
                (3) The cost to the Department of Defense of correcting
            this problem in its computer systems has been estimated to be
            more than $1,000,000,000.
                (4) Other nations have failed to initiate aggressive action
            to identify and correct the year 2000 problem within their own
            computers.
                (5) Unless other nations initiate aggressive actions to
            ensure the reliability and stability of certain communications
            and strategic systems, United States nationally security may be
            jeopardized.
        (b) Report Required.--The Secretary of Defense and the Director of
    Central Intelligence shall jointly 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 plans of the Department of
    Defense and the intelligence community for ensuring the continuity of
    performance of essential operations that are at risk of failure because
    of computer systems and other information and support systems that are
    not year 2000 compliant.
        (c) Content.--The report shall contain, at a minimum, the
    following:
                (1) A prioritization of mission critical systems to ensure
            that the most critical systems have the highest priority for
            efforts to reprogram computers to be year 2000 compliant.
                (2) A discussion of the private and other public
            information and support systems relied on by the national
            security community, including the intelligence community, and
            the efforts under way to ensure that those systems are year
            2000 compliant.
                (3) The efforts under way to repair the underlying
            operating systems and infrastructure.
                (4) The plans for comprehensive testing of Department of
            Defense systems, including simulated operational tests in
            mission areas.
                (5) A comprehensive contingency plan, for the entire
            national security community, which provides for resolving
            emergencies resulting from a system that is not year 2000
            compliant and includes provision for the creation of crisis
            action teams for use in resolving such emergencies.
                (6) A discussion of the efforts undertaken to ensure the
            continued reliability of service on the systems used by the
            President and other leaders of the United States for
            communicating with the leaders of other nations.
                (7) A discussion of the vulnerability of allied armed
            forces to failure systems that are not, or have critical
            components that are not, year 2000 compliant, together with an
            assessment of the potential problems for interoperability among
            the Armed Forces of the United States and allied armed forces
            because of the potential for failure of such systems.
                (8) An estimate of the total cost of making the computer
            systems and other information and support systems comprising
            the computer networks of the Department of Defense and the
            intelligence community year 2000 compliant.
                (9) The countries that have critical computer-based systems
            any disruption of which, due to not being year 2000 compliant,
            would cause a significant potential national security risk to
            the United States.
                (10) A discussion of the cooperative arrangements between
            the United States and other nations to assist those nations in
            identifying and correcting (to the extent necessary to meet
            national security interests of the United States) any problems
            in their communications and strategic systems, or other systems
            identified by the Secretary of Defense, that make the systems
            not year 2000 compliant.
                (11) A discussion of the threat posed to the national
            security interests of the United States from any potential
            failure of strategic systems of foreign countries that are not
            year 2000 compliant.
        (d) Submittal.--The report shall be submitted not later than March
    31, 1999, in classified form and, as necessary, unclassified form.
        (e) International Cooperative Arrangements.--The Secretary of
    Defense, with the concurrence of the Secretary of State may enter into
    a cooperative arrangement with a representative of any foreign
    government to provide for the United States to assist the foreign
    government in identifying and correcting (to the extent necessary to
    meet national security interests of the United States) any problems in
    communications, strategic, or other systems of that foreign government
    that make the systems not year 2000 compliant.
        (f) Year 2000 Compliant.--In this section, the term ``year 2000
    compliant'', with respect to a computer system or any other information
    or support system, means that the programs of the system correctly
    recognize dates in years after 1999 as being dates after 1999 for the
    purposes of program functions for which the correct date is relevant to
    the performance of the functions.

    SEC. 1031. SUBMISSION OF REPORT ON OBJECTIVES OF A CONTINGENCY
                  OPERATION WITH FIRST REQUEST FOR FUNDING THE OPERATION.

        (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
                (1) On May 3, 1994, the President issued Presidential
            Decision Directive 25 declaring that American participation in
            United Nations and other peace operations would depend in part
            on whether the role of United States forces is tied to clear
            objectives and an endpoint for United States participation can
            be identified.
                (2) Between that date and mid-1998, the President and other
            executive branch officials have obligated or requested
            appropriations of approximately $9,400,000,000 for military-
            related operations throughout Bosnia and Herzegovina without
            providing to Congress, in conjunction with the budget
            submission for any fiscal year, a strategic plan for such
            operations under the criteria set forth in that Presidential
            Decision Directive.
                (3) Between November 27, 1995, and mid-1998 the President
            has established three deadlines, since elapsed, for the
            termination of United States military-related operations
            throughout Bosnia and Herzegovina.
                (4) On December 17, 1997, the President announced that
            United States ground combat forces would remain in Bosnia and
            Herzegovina for an unknown period of time.
                (5) Approximately 47,880 United States military personnel
            (excluding personnel serving in units assigned to the Republic
            of Korea) have participated in 14 international contingency
            operations between fiscal years 1991 and 1998.
                (6) The 1998 posture statements of the Navy and Air Force
            included declarations that the pace of military operations over
            fiscal year 1997 adversely affected the readiness of non-
            deployed forces, personnel retention rates, and spare parts
            inventories of the Navy and Air Force.
        (b) Information To Be Reported With Funding Request.--Section 113
    of title 10, United States Code, is amended by adding at the end the
    following:
        ``(l) Information To Accompany Initial Funding Request for
    Contingency Operation.--Whenever the President submits to Congress a
    request for appropriations for costs associated with a contingency
    operation that involves, or likely will involve, the deployment of more
    than 500 members of the armed forces, the Secretary of Defense shall
    submit to Congress a report on the objectives of the operation. The
    report shall include a discussion of the following:
                ``(1) What clear and distinct objectives guide the
            activities of United States forces in the operation.
                ``(2) What the President has identified on the basis of
            those objectives as the date, or the set of conditions, that
            defines the endpoint of the operation.''.

    necessary for destroying, removing, or obtaining from that country--
                (1) weapons of mass destruction; or
                (2) materials, equipment, or technology related to the
            delivery or development of weapons of mass destruction.
        (b) Certification Required.--(1) Not later than 15 days before
    providing assistance under subsection (a) regarding weapons, materials,
    equipment, or technology referred to in that subsection, the Secretary
    of Defense shall certify to the congressional defense committees that
    the weapons, materials, equipment, or technology meet each of the
    following requirements:
                (A) The weapons, materials, equipment, or technology are at
            risk of being sold or otherwise transferred to a restricted
            foreign state or entity.
                (B) The transfer of the weapons, materials, equipment, or
            technology would pose a significant threat to national security
            interests of the United States or would significantly advance a
            foreign country's weapon program that threatens national
            security interests of the United States.
                (C) Other options for securing or otherwise preventing the
            transfer of the weapons, materials, equipment, or technology
            have been considered and rejected as ineffective or inadequate.
        (2) The Secretary may waive the deadline for submitting a
    certification required under paragraph (1) in any case if the Secretary
    determines that compliance with the requirement would compromise
    national security objectives of the United States in that case. The
    Secretary shall promptly notify the Chairman and ranking minority
    members of the congressional defense committees regarding the waiver

            any low-level exposure to a chemical warfare agent that would
            endanger the health of exposed personnel because of the
            deleterious effects of--
                        (A) a single exposure to the agent;
                        (B) exposure to the agent concurrently with other
                    dangerous exposures, such as exposures to--
                                (i) other potentially toxic substances in
                            the environment, including pesticides, other

                            environmental pollutants;
                                (ii) low-grade nuclear and electromagnetic
                            radiation present in the environment;
                                (iii) preventive medications (that are
                            dangerous when taken concurrently with other
                            dangerous exposures referred to in this
                            paragraph); and
                                (iv) occupational hazards, including
                            battlefield hazards; and
                        (C) repeated exposures to the agent, or some
                    combination of one or more exposures to the agent and
                    other dangerous exposures referred to in subparagraph
                    (B), over time.
                (2) To provide for--
                        (A) the prevention of and protection against, and
                    the detection (including confirmation) of, exposures to
                    a chemical warfare agent (whether intentional or
                    inadvertent) at levels that, even if not sufficient to
                    endanger health immediately, are greater than the level
                    that is recognized under Department of Defense policies
                    as being the maximum safe level of exposure to that
                    agent for the general population; and
                        (B) the recording, reporting, coordinating, and
                    retaining of information on possible exposures
                    described in subparagraph (A), including the monitoring
                    of the health effects of exposures on humans and
                    animals, and the documenting and reporting of those
                    health effects specifically by location.
                (3) Provide solutions for the concerns and mission
            requirements that are specifically applicable for one or more
            of the Armed Forces in a protracted conflict when exposures to
            chemical agents could be complex, dynamic, and occurring over
            an extended period.
        (c) Research Program.--The Secretary of Defense shall develop and
    carry out a plan to establish a research program for determining the
    effects of chronic and low-dose exposures to chemical warfare agents.
    The research shall be designed to yield results that can guide the
    Secretary in the evolution of policy and doctrine on low-level
    exposures to chemical warfare agents. The plan shall state the
    objectives and scope of the program and include a 5-year funding plan.
        (d) Report.--Not later than May 1, 1999, 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

    SEC. 1060. COMMENDATION AND MEMORIALIZATION OF THE UNITED STATES NAVY
                  ASIATIC FLEET.

        (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
                (1) The United States established the Asiatic Fleet of the
            Navy in 1910 to protect American nationals, policies, and
            possessions in the Far East.
                (2) The sailors and Marines of the Asiatic Fleet ensured
            the safety of United States citizens and foreign nationals, and
            provided humanitarian assistance, in that region during the
            Chinese civil war, the Yangtze Flood of 1931, and the outbreak
            of Sino-Japanese hostilities.
                (3) In 1940, due to deteriorating political relations and
            increasing tensions between the United States and Japan, a
            reinforced Asiatic Fleet began concentrating on the defense of
            the Philippines and engaged in extensive training to ensure
            maximum operational readiness for any eventuality.
                (4) Following the declaration of war against Japan, the
            warships, submarines, and aircraft of the Asiatic Fleet singly
            or in task forces courageously fought many naval battles
            against a superior Japanese armada.
                (5) The Asiatic Fleet directly suffered the loss of 22
            ships, 1,826 men killed or missing in action, and 518 men
            captured and imprisoned under the worst of conditions with many
            of them dying while held as prisoners of war.
        (b) Commendation.--Congress--
                (1) commends the personnel who served in the Asiatic Fleet
            of the United States Navy during the period 1910 to 1942; and
                (2) honors those who gave their lives in the line of duty
            while serving in the Asiatic Fleet.
        (c) United States Navy Asiatic Fleet Memorial Day.--The President
    is authorized and requested to issue a proclamation designating March
    1, 1999 as ``United States Navy Asiatic Fleet Memorial Day'' and
    calling upon the people of the United States to observe United States
    Navy Asiatic Fleet Memorial Day with appropriate programs, ceremonies,
    and activities.

            conflict'' and inserting in lieu thereof ``korean war'';

            appears and inserting in lieu thereof ``Korean War''; and
                (3) in subsections (c) and (d)(1), by striking out ``Korean
            Conflict'' and inserting in lieu thereof ``Korean War''.
        (b) Limitation on Expenditures.--Subsection (f) of such section is
    amended to read as follows:
        ``(f) Limitation on Expenditures.--The total amount expended for
    the commemorative program for fiscal years 1998 through 2004 by the
    Department of Defense 50th Anniversary of the Korean War Commemorative
    Committee established by the Secretary of Defense may not exceed
    $10,000,000.''.

    SEC. 1062. DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE USE OF FREQUENCY SPECTRUM.

        (a) Finding.--Congress finds that the report submitted to Congress
    by the Secretary of Defense on April 2, 1998, regarding the
    reallocation of the frequency spectrum used or dedicated to the
    Department of Defense and the intelligence community, does not include
    a discussion of the costs to the Department of Defense that are
    associated with past and potential future reallocations of the
    frequency spectrum, although such a discussion was to be included in
    the report as directed in connection with the enactment of the National
    Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1998.
        (b) Additional Report.--The Secretary of Defense shall, not later
    than October 31, 1998, submit to the Committee on Armed Services of the
    Senate and the Committee on National Security of the House of
    Representatives a report that discusses the costs referred to in
    subsection (a).
        (c) Relocation of Federal Frequencies.--Section 113(g)(1) of the
    National Telecommunications and Information Administration Organization
    Act (47 U.S.C. 923(g)(1)) is amended--
                (1) by striking out ``(1) In general.--In order'' and
            inserting in lieu thereof the following:
                ``(1) In general.--
                        ``(A) Authority of federal entities to accept
                    compensation.--In order'';
                (2) in subparagraph (A), as so designated, by striking out
            the second, third, and fourth sentences and inserting in lieu
            thereof the following: ``Any such Federal entity which proposes
            to so relocate shall notify the NTIA, which in turn shall
            notify the Commission, before the auction concerned of the
            marginal costs anticipated to be associated with such
            relocation or with modifications necessary to accommodate
            prospective licensees. The Commission in turn shall notify
            potential bidders of the estimated relocation or modification
            costs based on the geographic area covered by the proposed
            licenses before the auction; and
                (3) by adding at the end the following:
                        ``(B) Requirement to compensate federal entities.--
                    Any person on whose behalf a Federal entity incurs
                    costs under subparagraph (A) shall compensate the
                    Federal entity in advance for such costs. Such
                    compensation may take the form of a cash payment or in-
                    kind compensation.
                        ``(C) Disposition of payments.--

                            transfer.--A person making a cash payment under
                            this paragraph shall make the cash payment by
                            depositing the amount of the payment by
                            electronic funds transfer in the account of the
                            Federal entity concerned in the Treasury of the
                            United States or in another account as
                            authorized by law.
                                ``(ii) Availability.--Subject to the
                            provisions of authorization Acts and

                            this subparagraph shall be available to the
                            Federal entity concerned to pay directly the
                            costs of relocation under this paragraph, to
                            repay or make advances to appropriations or

                            part of such costs, or to refund excess sums
                            when necessary.
                        ``(D) Application to certain other relocations.--
                    The provisions of this paragraph also apply to any

                    identified for reallocation under subsection (a) if
                    before August 5, 1997, the Commission has not
                    identified that spectrum for service or assigned
                    licenses or otherwise authorized service for that
                    spectrum.
                        ``(E) Implementation procedures.--The NTIA and the
                    Commission shall develop procedures for the
                    implementation of this paragraph, which procedures
                    shall include a process for resolving any differences
                    that arise between the Federal Government and
                    commercial licensees regarding estimates of relocation
                    or modification costs under this paragraph.

                    the exception of spectrum located at 1710-1755

                    apply to Federal spectrum identified for reallocation
                    in the first reallocation report submitted to the
                    President and Congress under subsection (a).''.
        (d) Reports on Costs of Relocations.--The head of each department
    or agency of the Federal Government shall include in the annual budget
    submission of such department or agency to the Director of the Office
    of Management and Budget a report assessing the costs to be incurred by
    such department or agency as a result of any frequency relocations of

    SEC. 1065. BUDGETING FOR CONTINUED PARTICIPATION OF UNITED STATES
                  FORCES IN NATO OPERATIONS IN BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA.

        (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
                (1) Funding levels in the Department of Defense budget have
            not been sufficient to pay for the deployment of United States
            ground combat forces in Bosnia and Herzegovina that began in
            fiscal year 1996.
                (2) The Department of Defense has used funds from the
            operation and maintenance accounts of the Armed Forces to pay
            for the operations because the funding levels included in the
            defense budgets for fiscal years 1996 and 1997 have not been
            adequate to maintain operations in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
                (3) Funds necessary to continue United States participation
            in the NATO operations in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and to
            replace operation and maintenance funds used for the
            operations, have been requested by the President as
            supplemental appropriations in fiscal years 1996 and 1997. The
            Department of Defense has also proposed to reprogram previously
            appropriated funds to make up the shortfall for continued
            United States operations in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
                (4) In February 1998, the President certified to Congress
            that the continued presence of United States forces in Bosnia
            and Herzegovina after June 30, 1998, was necessary in order to
            meet national security interests of the United States.
                (5) The discretionary spending limit established for the
            defense category for fiscal year 1998 in the Balanced Budget
            and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 does not take into
            account the continued deployment of United States forces in
            Bosnia and Herzegovina after June 30, 1998. Therefore, the
            President requested emergency supplemental appropriations for
            the Bosnia and Herzegovina mission through September 30, 1998.
                (6) Amounts for operations in Bosnia and Herzegovina were
            not included in the original budget proposed by the President
            for the Department of Defense for fiscal year 1999.
                (7) The President requested $1,858,600,000 in emergency
            appropriations in his March 4, 1998 amendment to the fiscal
            year 1999 budget to cover the shortfall in funding in the
            fiscal year 1999 for the costs of extending the mission in
            Bosnia.
        (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
                (1) the President should include in the budget for the
            Department of Defense that the President submits to Congress
            under section 1105(a) of title 31, United States Code, for each
            fiscal year sufficient amounts to pay for any proposed
            continuation of the participation of United States forces in
            NATO operations in Bosnia and Herzegovina for that fiscal year;
            and
                (2) amounts included in the budget for that purpose should
            not be transferred from amounts that would otherwise be
            proposed in the budget of any of the Armed Forces in accordance
            with the future-years defense program related to that budget,
            or any other agency of the Executive Branch, but, instead,
            should be an overall increase in the budget for the Department
            of Defense.

    SEC. 1066. NATO PARTICIPATION IN THE PERFORMANCE OF PUBLIC SECURITY
                  FUNCTIONS OF CIVILIAN AUTHORITIES IN BOSNIA AND
                  HERZEGOVINA.

        (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
                (1) The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) has
            approved the creation of a multi-national specialized unit of
            gendarmes- or para-military police composed of European
            security forces to help promote public security in Bosnia and
            Herzegovina as a part of the post-June 1998 mission for the
            Stabilization Force (SFOR) authorized under the United Nations
            Security Council Resolution 1088 (December 12, 1996).
                (2) On at least four occasions, beginning in July 1997, the
            Stabilization Force (SFOR) has been involved, pursuant to
            military annex 1(A) of the Dayton Agreement, in carrying out
            missions for the specific purpose of detaining war criminals,
            and on at least one of those occasions United States forces
            were directly involved in carrying out the mission.
        (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that United
    States forces should not serve as civil police in Bosnia and
    Herzegovina.
        (c) Requirement for Report.--The President shall submit to
    Congress, not later than October 1, 1998, a report on the status of the
    NATO force of gendarmes or paramilitary police referred to in
    subsection (a)(1), including the mission of the force, the composition
    of the force, and the extent, if any, to which members of the Armed
    Forces of the United States are participating (or are to participate)
    in the force.

    SEC. 1067. PILOT PROGRAM FOR REVITALIZING THE LABORATORIES AND TEST AND
                  EVALUATION CENTERS OF THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE.

        (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
                (1) Officials of the Department of Defense are critically
            dependent on the science and technology laboratories and test
            and evaluation centers, of the department--
                        (A) to exploit commercial technology for unique
                    military purposes;
                        (B) to develop advanced technology in precise
                    areas;
                        (C) to provide the officials with objective advice
                    and counsel on science and technology matters; and
                        (D) to lead the decisionmaking that identifies the
                    most cost-effective procurements of military equipment
                    and services.
                (2) The laboratories and test and evaluation centers are
            facing a number of challenges that, if not overcome, could
            limit the productivity and self-sustainability of the
            laboratories and centers, including--
                        (A) the declining funding provided for science and
                    technology in the technology base program of the
                    Department of Defense;
                        (B) difficulties experienced in recruiting,
                    retaining, and motivating high-quality personnel; and
                        (C) the complex web of policies and regulatory
                    constraints that restrict authority of managers to
                    operate the laboratories and centers in a businesslike
                    fashion.
                (3) Congress has provided tools to deal with the changing
            nature of technological development in the defense sector by
            encouraging closer cooperation with industry and university
            research and by authorizing demonstrations of alternative
            personnel systems.
                (4) A number of laboratories and test and evaluation
            centers have addressed the challenges and are employing a
            variety of innovative methods, such as the so-called
            ``Federated Lab Concept'' undertaken at the Army Research
            Laboratory, to maintain the high quality of the technical
            program, to provide a challenging work environment for
            researchers, and to meet the high cost demands of maintaining
            facilities that are equal or superior in quality to comparable
            facilities anywhere in the world.
        (b) Commendation.--Congress commends the Secretary of Defense for
    the progress made by the science and technology laboratories and test
    and evaluation centers to achieve the results described in subsection
    (a)(4) and encourages the Secretary to take the actions necessary to
    ensure continued progress for the laboratories and test and evaluation
    centers in developing cooperative relationships with universities and
    other private sector entities for the performance of research and
    development functions.
        (c) Pilot Program.--(1) In conjunction with the plan for
    restructuring and revitalizing the science and technology laboratories
    and test and evaluation centers of the Department of Defense that is
    required by section 906 of this Act, the Secretary of Defense may carry

            the performance of research and development functions.
                (B) To waive any restrictions on the demonstration and
            implementation of such methods that are not required by law.
                (C) To develop or expand innovative methods of operation
            that provide more defense research for each dollar of cost,
            including to carry out such initiatives as focusing on the
            performance of core functions and adopting more business-like
            practices.
        (3) In selecting the laboratories and centers for participation in
    the pilot program, the Secretary shall consider laboratories and
    centers where innovative management techniques have been demonstrated,
    particularly as documented under sections 1115 through 1119 of title

    SEC. 1068. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING THE HEROISM, SACRIFICE, AND
                  SERVICE OF FORMER SOUTH VIETNAMESE COMMANDOS IN
                  CONNECTION WITH UNITED STATES ARMED FORCES DURING THE
                  VIETNAM CONFLICT.

        (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
                (1) South Vietnamese commandos were recruited by the United
            States as part of OPLAN 34A or its predecessor or OPLAN 35 from
            1961 to 1970.
                (2) The commandos conducted covert operations in North
            Vietnam during the Vietnam conflict.
                (3) Many of the commandos were captured and imprisoned by
            North Vietnamese forces, some for as long as 20 years.
                (4) The commandos served and fought proudly during the
            Vietnam conflict.
                (5) Many of the commandos lost their lives serving in
            operations conducted by the United States during the Vietnam
            conflict.
                (6) Many of the Vietnamese commandos now reside in the
            United States.
        (b) Sense of Congress--Congress recognizes and honors the former
    South Vietnamese commandos for their heroism, sacrifice, and service in
    connection with United States armed forces during the Vietnam conflict.

    SEC. 1069. SENSE OF THE SENATE REGARDING DECLASSIFICATION OF CLASSIFIED
                  INFORMATION OF THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE AND THE
                  DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY.

        It is the sense of the Senate that the Secretary of Defense and the
    Secretary of Energy should submit to Congress a request for funds in
    fiscal year 2000 for activities relating to the declassification of
    information under the jurisdiction of such Secretaries in order to
    fulfill the obligations and commitments of such Secretaries under
    Executive Order No. 12958 and the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 (42 U.S.C.
    2011 et seq.) and to the stakeholders.

    SEC. 1070. RUSSIAN NONSTRATEGIC NUCLEAR WEAPONS.

        (a) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that--
                (1) the 7,000 to 12,000 or more nonstrategic (or
            ``tactical'') nuclear weapons estimated by the United States
            Strategic Command to be in the Russian arsenal may present the
            greatest threat of sale or theft of a nuclear warhead in the
            world today;
                (2) as the number of deployed strategic warheads in the
            Russian and United States arsenals declines to just a few
            thousand under the START accords, Russia's vast superiority in
            tactical nuclear warheads--many of which have yields equivalent
            to strategic nuclear weapons--could become strategically
            destabilizing;
                (3) while the United States has unilaterally reduced its
            inventory of tactical nuclear weapons by nearly 90 percent
            since the end of the Cold War, Russia is behind schedule in
            implementing the steep tactical nuclear arms reductions pledged
            by former Soviet President Gorbachev in 1991 and Russian
            President Yeltsin in 1992, perpetuating the dangers from
            Russia's tactical nuclear stockpile; and
                (4) the President of the United States should call on the
            Russian Federation to expedite reduction of its tactical
            nuclear arsenal in accordance with the promises made in 1991
            and 1992.
        (b) Report.--Not later than March 15, 1999, the Secretary of
    Defense shall submit to the Congress a report on Russia's nonstrategic
    nuclear weapons, including--
                (1) estimates regarding the current numbers, types, yields,
            viability, and locations of such warheads;
                (2) an assessment of the strategic implications of the
            Russian Federation's nonstrategic arsenal, including the
            potential use of such warheads in a strategic role or the use
            of their components in strategic nuclear systems;
                (3) an assessment of the extent of the current threat of
            theft, sale, or unauthorized use of such warheads, including an
            analysis of Russian command and control as it concerns the use
            of tactical nuclear warheads; and
                (4) a summary of past, current, and planned efforts to work
            cooperatively with the Russian Federation to account for,
            secure, and reduce Russia's stockpile of tactical nuclear
            warheads and associated fissile material.
        (c) Views.--This report shall include the views of the Director of
    Central Intelligence and the Commander in Chief of the United States
    Strategic Command.

    SEC. 1071. SENSE OF SENATE ON NUCLEAR TESTS IN SOUTH ASIA.

        (a) Findings.--The Senate finds that--
                (1) on May 11 and 13, 1998, the Government of India
            conducted a series of underground nuclear tests;
                (2) on May 28 and 30, 1998, the Government of Pakistan
            conducted a series of underground nuclear tests;
                (3) although not recognized or accepted as such by the
            United Nations Security Council, India and Pakistan have
            declared themselves nuclear weapon states;
                (4) India and Pakistan have conducted extensive nuclear
            weapons research over several decades, resulting in the
            development of nuclear capabilities and the potential for the
            attainment of nuclear arsenals and the dangerous proliferation
            of nuclear weaponry;
                (5) India and Pakistan have refused to enter into
            internationally recognized nuclear non-proliferation
            agreements, including the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty, the
            Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, and full-
            scope safeguards agreements with the International Atomic
            Energy Agency;
                (6) India and Pakistan, which have been at war with each
            other 3 times in the past 50 years, have urgent bilateral
            conflicts, most notably over the disputed territory of Kashmir;
                (7) the testing of nuclear weapons by India and Pakistan
            has created grave and serious tensions on the Indian
            subcontinent; and
                (8) the United States response to India and Pakistan's
            nuclear tests has included the imposition of wide-ranging
            sanctions as called for under the Arms Export Control Act and
            the Nuclear Proliferation Prevention Act of 1994.
        (b) Sense of Senate.--The Senate--
                (1) strongly condemns the decisions by the governments of
            India and Pakistan to conduct nuclear tests in May 1998;
                (2) supports the President's decision to carry out the
            provisions of the Nuclear Proliferation Prevention Act of 1994
            with respect to India and Pakistan and invoke all sanctions in
            that Act;
                (3) calls upon members of the international community to
            impose similar sanctions against India and Pakistan to those
            imposed by the United States;
                (4) calls for the governments of India and Pakistan to
            commit not to conduct any additional nuclear tests;
                (5) urges the governments of India and Pakistan to take
            immediate steps, bilaterally and under the auspices of the
            United Nations, to reduce tensions between them;
                (6) urges India and Pakistan to engage in high-level
            dialogue aimed at reducing the likelihood of armed conflict,
            enacting confidence and security building measures, and
            resolving areas of dispute;
                (7) commends all nations to take steps which will reduce
            tensions in South Asia, including appropriate measures to
            prevent the transfer of technology that could further
            exacerbate the arms race in South Asia, and thus avoid further
            deterioration of security there;
                (8) calls upon the President to seek a diplomatic solution
            between the governments of India and Pakistan to promote peace
            and stability in South Asia and resolve the current impasse;
                (9) encourages United States leadership in assisting the
            governments of India and Pakistan to resolve their 50-year
            conflict over the disputed territory in Kashmir;
                (10) urges India and Pakistan to take immediate, binding,
            and verifiable steps to roll back their nuclear programs and
            come into compliance with internationally accepted norms
            regarding the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction; and
                (11) urges the United States to reevaluate its bilateral
            relationship with India and Pakistan, in light of the new
            regional security realities in South Asia, with the goal of
            preventing further nuclear and ballistic missile proliferation,
            diffusing long-standing regional rivalries between India and
            Pakistan, and securing commitments from them which, if carried
            out, could result in a calibrated lifting of United States
            sanctions imposed under the Arms Export Control Act and the
            Nuclear Proliferation Prevention Act of 1994.

    SEC. 1072. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING CONTINUED PARTICIPATION OF
                  UNITED STATES FORCES IN OPERATIONS IN BOSNIA AND
                  HERZEGOVINA.

        (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
                (1) The contributions of the people of the United States
            and other nations have, in large measure, resulted in the
            suspension of fighting and alleviated the suffering of the
            people of Bosnia and Herzegovina since December 1995.
                (2) the people of the United States have expended
            approximately $9,500,000,000 in tax dollars between 1992 and
            mid-1998 just in support of the United States military
            operations in Bosnia to achieve those results.
                (3) Efforts to restore the economy and political structure
            in Bosnia and Herzegovina have achieved some success in
            accordance with the Dayton Agreement.
                (4) In February 1998, the President certified to Congress
            that the continued presence of United States forces in Bosnia
            and Herzegovina after June 30, 1998, was necessary in order to
            meet national security interests of the United States.
                (5) There is, however, no accurate estimate of the time
            needed to accomplish the civilian implementation tasks outlined
            in the Dayton Agreement.
        (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
                (1) United States ground combat forces should not remain in
            Bosnia and Herzegovina indefinitely in view of the world-wide
            commitments of the Armed Forces of the United States;
                (2) the President should work with NATO allies and the
            other nations whose military forces are participating in the
            NATO-led Stabilization Force to withdraw United States ground
            combat forces from Bosnia and Herzegovina within a reasonable
            period of time, consistent with the safety of those forces and
            the accomplishment of the Stabilization Force's military tasks;
                (3) a NATO-led force without the participation of United
            States ground combat forces in Bosnia and Herzegovina might be
            suitable for a follow-on force for 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 for Bosnia and Herzegovina, including command and
            control, intelligence, logistics, and, if necessary, a ready
            reserve force in the region;
                (5) the President should inform the European NATO allies of
            this expression of the sense of Congress and should strongly
            urge them to undertake preparations for establishing a Western
            European Union-led or a NATO-led force as a follow-on force to
            the NATO-led Stabilization Force if needed to maintain peace
            and stability in Bosnia and Herzegovina; and
                (6) the President should consult closely with the
            congressional leadership and the congressional defense
            committees with respect to the progress being made toward
            achieving a sustainable peace in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the
            progress being made toward a reduction and ultimate withdrawal
            of United States ground combat forces from Bosnia and
            Herzegovina.
        (c) One-Time Reports.--The President shall submit to Congress the
    following reports:
                (1) Not later than September 30, 1998, a report containing
            a discussion of the likely impact on the security situation in
            Bosnia and Herzegovina and on the prospects for establishing
            self-sustaining peace and stable local government there that
            would result from a phased reduction in the number of United
            States military personnel stationed in Bosnia and Herzegovina
            under the following alternatives:
                        (A) A phased reduction to 5,000 by February 2,
                    1999, to 3,500 by June 30, 1999, and to 2,500 by
                    February 2, 2000.
                        (B) A phased reduction by February 2, 2000, to the
                    number of personnel that is approximately equal to the
                    mean average of--
                                (i) the number of military personnel of the
                            United Kingdom that are stationed in Bosnia and
                            Herzegovina on that date;
                                (ii) the number of military personnel of
                            Germany that are stationed there on that date;
                                (iii) the number of military personnel of
                            France that are stationed there on that date;
                            and
                                (iv) the number of military personnel of
                            Italy that are stationed there on that date.
                (2) Not later than October 1, 1998, a report on the status
            of the NATO force of gendarmes or paramilitary police referred
            to in subsection (a)(1), including the mission of the force,
            the composition of the force, and the extent, if any, to which
            members of the Armed Forces of the United States are
            participating (or are to participate) in the force.
        (d) Report To Accompany Each Request for Funding.--(1) Each time
    that the President submits to Congress a proposal for funding continued
    operations of United States forces in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the
    President shall submit to Congress a report on the missions of United
    States forces there. The first report shall be submitted at the same
    time that the President submits the budget for fiscal year 2000 to
    Congress under section 1105(a) of title 31, United States Code.
        (2) Each report under paragraph (1) shall include the following:
                (A) The performance objectives and schedule for the
            implementation of the Dayton Agreement, including--
                        (i) the specific objectives for the reestablishment
                    of a self-sustaining peace and a stable local
                    government in Bosnia and Herzegovina, taking into
                    account (I) each of the areas of implementation
                    required by the Dayton Agreement, as well as other
                    areas that are not covered specifically in the Dayton
                    Agreement but are essential for reestablishing such a
                    peace and local government and to permitting an orderly
                    withdrawal of the international peace implementation
                    force from Bosnia and Herzegovina, and (II) the
                    benchmarks reported in the latest semiannual report
                    submitted under section 7(b)(2) of the 1998
                    Supplemental Appropriations and Rescissions Act
                    (revised as necessary to be current as of the date of
                    the report submitted under this subsection); and
                        (ii) the schedule, specified by fiscal year, for
                    achieving the objectives.
                (B) The military and non-military missions that the
            President has directed for United States forces in Bosnia and
            Herzegovina in support of the objectives identified pursuant to
            paragraph (1), including a specific discussion of--
                        (i) the mission of the United States forces, if

    SEC. 1079. BURIAL HONORS FOR VETERANS.

        (a) Findings.--The Senate makes the following findings:
                (1) Throughout the years, men and women have unselfishly
            answered the call to arms, at tremendous personal sacrifice.
            Burial honors for deceased veterans are an important means of
            reminding Americans of the sacrifices endured to keep the
            Nation free.
                (2) The men and women who serve honorably in the Armed
            Forces, whether in war or peace, and whether discharged,
            separated, or retired, deserve commemoration for their military
            service at the time of their death by an appropriate military
            tribute.
                (3) It is tremendously important to pay an appropriate
            final tribute on behalf of a grateful Nation to honor
            individuals who served the Nation in the Armed Forces.
        (b) Conference on Military Burial Honor Practices.--(1) Not later
    than October 31, 1998, the Secretary of Defense shall, in consultation

            the provision of military honors at the burial of veterans;
                (B) analyze the costs associated with providing military

                (C) assess trends in the rate of death of veterans; and
                (D) propose, consider, and determine means of improving and

    SEC. 1081. SENSE OF SENATE REGARDING THE AUGUST 1995 ASSASSINATION
                  ATTEMPT AGAINST PRESIDENT SHEVARDNADZE OF GEORGIA.

        (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
                (1) On Tuesday, August 29, 1995, President Eduard
            Shevardnadze of Georgia narrowly survived a car bomb attack as
            he departed his offices in the Georgian Parliament building to
            attend the signing ceremony for the new constitution of
            Georgia.
                (2) The former Chief of the Georgian National Security
            Service, Lieutenant General Igor Giorgadze, after being
            implicated in organizing the August 29, 1995, assassination
            attempt on President Shevardnadze, fled Georgia from the
            Russian-controlled Varziani airbase on a Russian military
            aircraft.
                (3) Lieutenant General Giorgadze has been seen openly in
            Moscow and is believed to have been given residence at a
            Russian government facility despite the fact that Interpol is
            conducting a search for Lieutenant General Giorgadze for his
            role in the assassination attempt against President
            Shervardnadze.
                (4) The Russian Interior Ministry claims that it is unable
            to locate Lieutenant General Giorgadze in Moscow.
                (5) The Georgian Security and Interior Ministries presented
            information to the Russian Interior Ministry on November 13,
            1996; January 17, 1997; March 7, 1997; March 24, 1997 and
            August 12, 1997, which included the exact location in Moscow of
            where Lieutenant General Giorgadze's family lived, the exact
            location where Lieutenant General Giorgadze lived outside of
            Moscow in a dacha of the Russian Ministry of Defense; as well
            as the changing official Russian government license tag numbers
            and description of the automobile that Lieutenant General
            Giorgadze uses; the people he associates with; the apartments
            he visits, and the places including restaurants, markets, and
            companies, that he frequents.
                (6) On May 12, 1998, the Moscow-based Russian newspaper
            Zavtra carried an interview with Lieutenant General Giorgadze
            in which Lieutenant General Giorgadze calls for the overthrow
            of the Government of Georgia.
                (7) Title II of the Foreign Operations Appropriations,
            Export Financing, and Related Programs Appropriations Act, 1998
            (Public Law 105-118) prohibits assistance to any government of
            the new independent states of the former Soviet Union if that
            government directs any action in violation of the national
            sovereignty of any other new independent state.
        (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that the
    Secretary of Defense should--
                (1) urge the Government of the Russian Federation to
            extradite the former Chief of the Georgian National Security
            Service, Lieutenant General Igor Giorgadze, to Georgia for the
            purpose of standing trial for his role in the attempted
            assassination of Georgian President Eduard Shevardnadze on
            August 29, 1995;
                (2) request cooperation from the Minister of Defense of the
            Russian Federation and the Government of the Russian Federation
            to ensure that Russian military bases on Georgian territory are
            no longer used to facilitate the escape of assassins seeking to
            kill the freely elected President of Georgia and to otherwise
            respect the national sovereignty of Georgia; and
                (3) use all authorities available to the United States
            Government to provide urgent and immediate assistance to ensure
            to the maximum extent practicable the personal security of
            President Shevardnadze.

            the United States chemical stockpile by April 28, 2007, as
            required under the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC), is a
            national priority.
                (2) The President should ensure that the Department of
            Defense and the Department of the Army receive all necessary
            assistance from Federal agencies in expediting and accelerating
            the destruction of the lethal chemical stockpile.
                (3) The Environmental Protection Agency, as one of the
            Federal agencies with responsibilities to assist the Department
            of Defense and the Department of the Army, has asserted that it
            is not adequately funded to provide, or meet its National
            responsibilities under the Resource Conservation and Recovery
            Act (RCRA) permitting requirements, in order to assist the
            United States Government in meeting its international
            obligations to destroy its lethal chemical stockpile.
                (4) The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) should work
            in concert with the State and local governments in this
            process, and that they should properly budget for this process.
        (b) Report Required.--The Department of Defense, in coordination
    with the Environmental Protection Agency, shall report to the
    congressional defense committees by April 1, 1999, on the following--
                (1) responsibilities associated with obligations under the
            Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) permitting
            process related to United States international obligations
            under the CWC to destroy the United States chemical stockpile;
                (2) technical assistance provided by the EPA to its
            regional offices and the States and local governments in the
            permitting process, and how that assistance facilitates the
            issuance of the environmental permits at the various sites;
                (3) responsibility of the Department of Defense to provide
            funding to the EPA, for the facilitation of meetings of the
            National Chemical Agent Demilitarization Workgroup, meetings
            between the Office of Solid Waste and the affected EPA Regional
            Offices and States, and meetings between the Office of Solid
            Waste, the Program Manager for Chemical Demilitarization and
            the Department of Defense; and
                (4) responsibility of the Department of Defense and the
            Department of the Army to provide funds to the Environmental
            Protection Agency to hire full-time equivalents to assist in
            the formulation of RCRA permits.

                  TITLE XII--JOINT WARFIGHTING EXPERIMENTATION

    SEC. 1201. FINDINGS.

        Congress makes the following findings:
                (1) The collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 and the
            unprecedented explosion of technological advances that could
            fundamentally redefine military threats and military
            capabilities in the future have generated a need to assess the
            defense policy, strategy, and force structure necessary to meet
            future defense requirements of the United States.
                (2) The assessment conducted by the administration of
            President Bush (known as the ``Base Force'' assessment) and the
            assessment conducted by the administration of President Clinton
            (known as the ``Bottom-Up Review'') were important attempts to
            redefine the defense strategy of the United States and the
            force structure of the Armed Forces necessary to execute that
            strategy.
                (3) Those assessments have become inadequate as a result of
            the pace of global geopolitical change and the speed of
            technological change, which have been greater than expected.
                (4) The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff reacted to
            the changing environment by developing and publishing in May
            1996 a vision statement, known as ``Joint Vision 2010'', to be
            a basis for the transformation of United States military
            capabilities. The vision statement embodies the improved
            intelligence and command and control that is available in the
            information age and sets forth the operational concepts of
            dominant maneuver, precision engagement, full-dimensional
            protection, and focused logistics to achieve the objective of
            full spectrum dominance.
                (5) In 1996 Congress, concerned about the shortcomings in
            defense policies and programs derived from the Base-Force
            Review and the Bottom-Up Review, determined that there was a
            need for a new, comprehensive assessment of the defense
            strategy of the United States and the force structure of the
            Armed Forces necessary for meeting the threats to the United
            States in the 21st century.
                (6) As a result of that determination, Congress passed the
            Military Force Structure Review Act of 1996 (subtitle B of
            title IX of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal
            Year 1997), which required the Secretary of Defense to complete
            in 1997 a quadrennial defense review of the defense program of
            the United States. The review was required to include a
            comprehensive examination of the defense strategy, force
            structure, force modernization plans, infrastructure, and other
            elements of the defense program and policies with a view toward
            determining and expressing the defense strategy of the United
            States and establishing a revised defense program through 2005.
            The Act also established a National Defense Panel to assess the
            Quadrennial Defense Review and to conduct an independent,
            nonpartisan review of the strategy, force structure, and
            funding required to meet anticipated threats to the national
            security of the United States through 2010 and beyond.
                (7) The Quadrennial Defense Review, completed by the
            Secretary of Defense in May 1997, defined the defense strategy
            in terms of ``Shape, Respond, and Prepare Now''. The
            Quadrennial Defense Review placed greater emphasis on the need
            to prepare now for an uncertain future by exploiting the
            revolution in technology and transforming the force toward
            Joint Vision 2010. It concluded that our future force will be
            different in character than our current force.
                (8) The National Defense Panel Report, published in
            December 1997, concluded that ``the Department of Defense
            should accord the highest priority to executing a
            transformation strategy for the United States military,
            starting now.'' The panel recommended the establishment of a
            Joint Forces Command with the responsibility to be the joint
            force integrator and provider and the responsibility for
            driving the process for transforming United States forces,
            including the conduct of joint experimentation, and to have the
            budget for carrying out those responsibilities.
                (9) The assessments of both the Quadrennial Defense Review
            and the National Defense Panel provide Congress with a
            compelling argument that the future security environment and
            the military challenges to be faced by the United States in the
            future will be fundamentally different than the current
            environment and challenges. The assessments also reinforce the
            foundational premise of the Goldwater-Nichols Department of
            Defense Reorganization Act of 1986 that warfare, in all of its
            varieties, will be joint warfare requiring the execution of
            developed joint operational concepts.
                (10) A process of joint experimentation is necessary for--
                        (A) integrating advances in technology with changes
                    in the organizational structure of the Armed Forces and
                    the development of joint operational concepts that will
                    be effective against national security threats
                    anticipated for the future; and
                        (B) identifying and assessing the interdependent
                    aspects of joint warfare that are key for transforming
                    the conduct of military operations by the United States
                    to meet those anticipated threats successfully.
                (11) It is critical for future readiness that the Armed
            Forces of the United States innovatively investigate and test
            technologies, forces, and joint operational concepts in
            simulations, wargames, and virtual settings, as well as in
            field environments under realistic conditions against the full
            range of future challenges. It is essential that an energetic
            and innovative organization be established and empowered to
            design and implement a process of joint experimentation to
            develop and validate new joint warfighting concepts, along with
            experimentation by the Armed Forces, that is directed at
            transforming the Armed Forces to meet the threats to the
            national security that are anticipated for the early 21st
            century. That process will drive changes in doctrine,
            organization, training and education, materiel, leadership, and
            personnel.
                (12) The Department of Defense is committed to conducting
            aggressive experimentation as a key component of its
            transformation strategy.
                (13) The competition of ideas is critical for achieving
            effective transformation. Experimentation by each of the Armed
            Forces has been, and will continue to be, a vital aspect of the
            pursuit of effective transformation. Joint experimentation
            leverages the effectiveness of each of the Armed Forces and the
            Defense Agencies.

    SEC. 1202. SENSE OF CONGRESS.

        (a) Designation of Commander To Have Joint Warfighting
    Experimentation Mission.--It is the sense of Congress that Congress
    supports the initiative of the Secretary of Defense and the Chairman of
    the Joint Chiefs of Staff to designate a commander of a combatant
    command to have the mission for joint warfighting experimentation,
    consistent with the understanding of Congress that the Chairman of the
    Joint Chiefs of Staff will assign the designated commander the tasks to
    develop and validate new joint warfighting concepts and capabilities,
    and to determine the implications, for doctrine, organization, training

    SEC. 2834. REPORT AND REQUIREMENT RELATING TO ``1 PLUS 1 BARRACKS
                  INITIATIVE''.

        (a) Report.--Not later than 180 days after the date of enactment of
    this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall, in consultation with the
    Secretaries of the military departments, submit to Congress a report on
    the costs and benefits of implementing the initiative to build single
    occupancy barracks rooms with a shared bath, the so-called ``1 plus 1
    barracks initiative''.
        (b) Elements.--The report under subsection (a) shall include the
    following:
                (1) A justification for the initiative referred to in
            subsection (a), including a description of the manner in which
            the initiative is designed to assure the retention of first-
            term enlisted members of the Armed Forces in adequate numbers.
                (2) A description of the experiences of the military
            departments with the retention of first-term enlisted members
            of the Armed Forces, including--
                        (A) a comparison of such experiences before
                    implementation of the initiative with such experiences
                    after implementation of the initiative; and
                        (B) an analysis of the basis for any change in
                    retention rates of such members that has arisen since
                    implementation of the initiative.
                (3) Any information indicating that the lack of single
            occupancy barracks rooms with a shared bath has been or is the
            basis of the decision of first-term members of the Armed Forces
            not to reenlist in the Armed Forces.
                (4) Any information indicating that the lack of such
            barracks rooms has hampered recruitment for the Armed Forces or
            that the construction of such barracks rooms would
            substantially improve recruitment.
                (5) The cost for each Armed Force of implementing the
            initiative, including the amount of funds obligated or expended
            on the initiative before the date of enactment of this Act and
            the amount of funds required to be expended after that date to
            complete the initiative.
                (6) The views of each of the Chiefs of Staff of the Armed
            Forces regarding the initiative and regarding any alternatives
            to the initiative having the potential of assuring the
            retention of first-term enlisted members of the Armed Forces in
            adequate numbers.
                (7) A cost-benefit analysis of the initiative.
        (c) Limitation on FY 2000 Funding Request.--The Secretary of
    Defense may not submit to Congress any request for funding for the so-
    called ``1 plus 1 barracks initiative'' in fiscal year 2000 unless the
    Secretary certifies to Congress that further implementation of the
    initiative is necessary in order to assure the retention of first-term
    enlisted members of the Armed Forces in adequate numbers.

    SEC. 2835. DEVELOPMENT OF FORD ISLAND, HAWAII.

        Not later than December 1, 1998, the Secretary of Defense shall
    submit to the President and the congressional defense committees a
    report regarding the potential for development of Ford Island within
    the Pearl Harbor Naval Complex, Oahu, Hawaii through an integrated
    resourcing plan incorporating both appropriated funds and one or more
    public-private ventures. This report shall consider innovative resource
    development measures, including but not limited to, an enhanced-use
    leasing program similar to that of the Department of Veterans Affairs
    as well as the sale or other disposal of land in Hawaii under the
    control of the Navy as part of an overall program for Ford Island
    development. The report shall include proposed legislation for carrying
    out the measures recommended therein.

    SEC. 2836. REPORT ON LEASING AND OTHER ALTERNATIVE USES OF NON-EXCESS
                  MILITARY PROPERTY.

        (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
                (1) The Secretary of Defense, with the support of the
            chiefs of staff of the Armed Forces, is calling for the closure
            of additional military installations in the United States as a
            means of eliminating excess capacity in such installations.
                (2) Excess capacity in Department of Defense installations
            is a valuable asset, and the utilization of such capacity
            presents a potential economic benefit for the Department and
            the Nation.
                (3) The experiences of the Department have demonstrated
            that the military departments and private businesses can carry
            out activities at the same military installation
            simultaneously.
                (4) Section 2667 of title 10, United States Code,
            authorizes the Secretaries of the military departments to
            lease, upon terms that promote the national defense or are in
            the public interest, real property that is--
                        (A) under the control of such departments;
                        (B) not for the time needed for public use; and
                        (C) not excess to the requirements of the United
                    States.
        (b) Report.--Not later than February 1, 1999, the Secretary shall
    submit to the Committee on Armed Services of the Senate and the
    Committee on National Security of the House of Representatives a report
    setting forth the following:
                (1) The number and purpose of the leases entered into under
            section 2667 of title 10, United States Code, during the five-
            year period ending on the date of enactment of this Act.
                (2) The types and amounts of payments received under the
            leases specified in paragraph (1).
                (3) The costs, if any, foregone as a result of the leases
            specified in paragraph (1).
                (4) A discussion of the positive and negative aspects of
            leasing real property and surplus capacity at military
            installations to the private sector, including the potential
            impact on force protection.
                (5) A description of the current efforts of the Department
            of Defense to identify for the private sector any surplus
            capacity at military installations that could be leased or
            otherwise used by the private sector.
                (6) A proposal for any legislation that the Secretary
            considers appropriate to enhance the ability of the Department
            to utilize surplus capacity in military installations in order
            to improve military readiness, achieve cost savings with
            respect to such installations, or decrease the cost of
            operating such installations.
                (7) An estimate of the amount of income that could accrue
            to the Department as a result of the enhanced authority
            proposed under paragraph (6) during the five-year period
            beginning on the effective date of such enhanced authority.
                (8) A discussion of the extent to which any such income
            should be reserved for the use of the installations exercising
            such authority and of the extent to which installations are
            likely to enter into such leases if they cannot retain such
            income.

                           Subtitle E--Base Closures

    SEC. 2851. MODIFICATION OF LIMITATIONS ON GENERAL AUTHORITY RELATING TO
                  BASE CLOSURES AND REALIGNMENTS.

        (a) Actions Covered by Notice and Wait Procedures.--Subsection (a)
    of section 2687 of title 10, United States Code, is amended by striking
    out paragraphs (1) and (2) and inserting in lieu thereof the following
    new paragraphs (1) and (2)--
                ``(1) the closure of any military installation at which at
            least 225 civilian personnel are authorized to be employed;
                ``(2) any realignment with respect to a military
            installation referred to in paragraph (1) if such realignment
            will result in an aggregate reduction in the number of civilian
            personnel authorized to be employed at such military
            installation during the fiscal year in which notice of such
            realignment is submitted to Congress under subsection (b) equal
            to or greater than--
                        ``(A) 750 such civilian personnel; or
                        ``(B) the number equal to 40 percent of the total
                    number of civilian personnel authorized to be employed
                    at such military installation at the beginning of such
                    fiscal year; or''.
        (b) Definitions.--Subsection (e) of that section is amended--
                (1) in paragraph (3), by inserting ``(including a
            consolidation)'' after ``any action''; and
                (2) by adding at the end the following:
                ``(5) The term `closure' includes any action to inactivate
            or abandon a military installation or to transfer a military
            installation to caretaker status.''.

    SEC. 2852. PROHIBITION ON CLOSURE OF A BASE WITHIN FOUR YEARS AFTER A
                  REALIGNMENT OF THE BASE.

        (a) Prohibition.--(1) Chapter 159 of title 10, United States Code,
    is amended by inserting after section 2687 the following:
    ``Sec. 2688. Base closures and realignments: closure prohibited within
                  four years after realignment in certain cases
        ``(a) Prohibition.--Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no
    action may be taken, and no funds appropriated or otherwise available
    to the Department of Defense may be obligated or expended, to effect or
    implement the closure of a military installation within 4 years after
    the completion of a realignment of the installation that, alone or with
    other causes, reduced the number of civilian personnel employed at that
    installation below 225.
        ``(b) Definitions.--In this section, the terms `military
    installation', `civilian personnel', and `realignment' have the
    meanings given such terms in section 2687(e) of this title.''.
                (2) The table of sections at the beginning of such chapter
            is amended by inserting after the item related to section 2687
            the following:

    ``2688. Base closures and realignments: closure prohibited within four
                                years after realignment in certain
                                cases.''.
        (b) Conforming Amendment.--Section 2687(a) of such title is amended
    by inserting ``(other than section 2688 of this title)'' after
    ``Notwithstanding any other provision of law''.

    SEC. 2853. SENSE OF THE SENATE ON FURTHER ROUNDS OF BASE CLOSURES.

        (a) Findings.--The Senate finds that:
                (1) While the Department of Defense has proposed further
            rounds of base closures, there is no need to authorize in 1998
            a new base closure commission that would not begin its work
            until three years from now, in 2001.
                (2) While the Department of Defense has submitted a report
            to the Congress in response to section 2824 of the National
            Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1998, that report--
                        (A) based its estimates of the costs and savings of
                    previous base closure rounds on data that the General
                    Accounting Office has described as ``inconsistent'',
                    ``unreliable'' and ``incomplete'';
                        (B) failed to demonstrate that the Defense
                    Department is working effectively to improve its
                    ability to track base closure costs and savings
                    resulting from the 1993 and 1995 base closure rounds,
                    which are ongoing;
                        (C) modeled the savings to be achieved as a result
                    of further base closure rounds on the 1993 and 1995
                    rounds, which are as yet incomplete and on which the
                    Department's information is faulty; and
                        (D) projected that base closure rounds in 2001 and
                    2005 would not produce substantial savings until 2008,
                    a decade after the Federal Government will have
                    achieved unified budget balance, and 5 years beyond the
                    planning period for the current congressional budget
                    and Future Years Defense Plan.
                (3) Section 2824 required that the Congressional Budget
            Office and the General Accounting Office review the Defense
            Department's report, and--
                        (A) the General Accounting Office stated on May 1
                    that ``we are now conducting our analysis to be able to
                    report any limitations that may exist in the required
                    level of detail. . . . [W]e are awaiting some
                    supporting documentation from the military services to
                    help us finish assessing the report's information.'';
                        (B) the Congressional Budget Office stated on May 1
                    that its review is ongoing, and that ``it is important
                    that CBO take the time necessary to provide a
                    thoughtful and accurate evaluation of DOD's report,
                    rather than issue a preliminary and potentially
                    inaccurate assessment.''.
                (4) The Congressional Budget Office recommended that ``The
            Congress could consider authorizing an additional round of base
            closures if the Department of Defense believes that there is a
            surplus of military capacity after all rounds of BRAC have been
            carried out. That consideration, however, should follow an
            interval during which DOD and independent analysts examine the
            actual impact of the measures that have been taken thus far.''.
        (b) Sense of the Congress.--It is the sense of the Congress that--
                (1) Congress should not authorize further rounds of base
            closures and realignments until all actions authorized by the
            Defense Base Closure and Realignment Act of 1990 are completed;
            and
                (2) the Department of Defense should submit forthwith to
            the Congress the report required by section 2815 of Public Law
            103-337, analyzing the effects of base closures and
            realignments on the ability of the Armed Forces to remobilize,
            describing the military construction projects needed to
            facilitate such remobilization, and discussing the assets, such
            as air space, that would be difficult to reacquire in the event
            of such remobilization.

    additional mitigation measures associated with this land withdrawal as
    specified in the ``ENHANCED TRAINING IN IDAHO Memorandum of
    Understanding Between The Bureau of Land Management and The United
    States Air Force'' that is dated June 11, 1998. This agreement
    specifies that these mitigation measures will be adopted as part of the
    Air Force's Record of Decision for Enhanced Training in Idaho. Congress
    endorses this collaborative effort between the agencies and directs
    that the agreement be implemented: Provided, however, That the parties
    may, in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969,
    as amended, mutually agree to modify the mitigation measures specified
    in the agreement in light of experience gained through the actions
    called for in the agreement or as a result of changed military
    circumstances: Provided further, That neither the agreement, any
    modification thereof, nor this section creates any right, benefit, or
    trust responsibility, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or
    equity by a party against the United States, its agencies, its
    officers, or any person.

    SEC. 2905. RIGHT-OF-WAY GRANTS.

    and reserved by this title, the Air Force shall, to the extent
    practicable and not clearly inconsistent with essential agency
    functions, (1) accommodate access to and ceremonial use of Indian
    sacred sites by Indian religious practitioners and (2) avoid adversely

    established religious significance to, or ceremonial use by, an Indian
    religion: Provided, That the tribe or appropriately authoritative
    representative of an Indian religion has informed the Air Force of the
    existence of such a site. The term ``Indian tribe'' means an Indian or
    Alaska Native tribe, band, nation, pueblo, village, or community that
    the Secretary of the Interior acknowledges to exist as an Indian tribe
    pursuant to Public Law 103-454 (108 Stat. 4791), and ``Indian'' refers
    to a member of such an Indian tribe.

                    TITLE XXXVII--FORCED OR INDENTURED LABOR

    SEC. 3701. FINDINGS.

        Congress makes the following findings:
                (1) The United States Customs Service has identified goods,
            wares, articles, and merchandise mined, produced, or
            manufactured under conditions of convict labor, forced labor,
            or indentured labor, in several countries.
                (2) The United States Customs Service has made limited
            attempts to prohibit the import of products made with forced
            labor, resulting in only a few seizures, detention orders,
            fines, and criminal prosecutions.
                (3) The United States Customs Service has taken 21 formal
            administrative actions in the form of detention orders against
            different products destined for the United States market, found
            to have been made with forced labor, including products from
            the People's Republic of China.
                (4) However, the United States Customs Service has never
            formally investigated or pursued enforcement with respect to
            attempts to import products made with forced or indentured
            child labor.
                (5) The United States Customs Service can use additional
            resources and tools to obtain the timely and in-depth
            verification necessary to identify and interdict products made
            with forced labor or indentured labor, including forced or
            indentured child labor, that are destined for the United States
            market.
                (6) The International Labor Organization estimates that
            approximately 250,000,000 children between the ages of 5 and 14
            are working in developing countries, including millions of
            children in bondage or otherwise forced to work for little or
            no pay.
                (7) Congress has clearly indicated in Public Law 105-61,
            Treasury-Postal Service Appropriations, 1998, that forced or
            indentured child labor constitutes forced labor under section
            307 of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1307).

    SEC. 3702. AUTHORIZATION FOR ADDITIONAL CUSTOMS PERSONNEL TO MONITOR
                  THE IMPORTATION OF PRODUCTS MADE WITH FORCED OR
                  INDENTURED LABOR.

        There are authorized to be appropriated $2,000,000 for fiscal year
    1999 to the United States Customs Service to monitor the importation of
    products made with forced labor or indentured labor, including forced
    or indentured child labor, the importation of which violates section
    307 of the Tariff Act of 1930 or section 1761 of title 18, United
    States Code.

    SEC. 3703. REPORTING REQUIREMENT ON FORCED LABOR OR INDENTURED LABOR
                  PRODUCTS DESTINED FOR THE UNITED STATES MARKET.

        (a) Report to Congress.--Not later than 1 year after the date of
    enactment of this Act, the Commissioner of Customs shall prepare and
    transmit to Congress a report on products made with forced labor or
    indentured labor, including forced or indentured child labor that are
    destined for the United States market.
        (b) Contents of Report.--The report under subsection (a) shall
    include information concerning the following:
                (1) The extent of the use of forced labor or indentured
            labor, including forced or indentured child labor in
            manufacturing or mining products destined for the United States
            market.
                (2) The volume of products made or mined with forced labor
            or indentured labor, including forced or indentured child labor
            that is--
                        (A) destined for the United States market,
                        (B) in violation of section 307 of the Tariff Act
                    of 1930 or section 1761 of title 18, United States
                    Code, and
                        (C) seized by the United States Customs Service.
                (3) The progress of the United States Customs Service in
            identifying and interdicting products made with forced labor or
            indentured labor, including forced or indentured child labor
            that are destined for the United States market.

    SEC. 3704. RENEGOTIATING MEMORANDA OF UNDERSTANDING ON FORCED LABOR.

        It is the sense of Congress that the President should determine
    whether any country with which the United States has a memorandum of
    understanding with respect to reciprocal trade that involves goods made
    with forced labor or indentured labor, including forced or indentured
    child labor is frustrating implementation of the memorandum. If an
    affirmative determination be made, the President should immediately
    commence negotiations to replace the current memorandum of
    understanding with one providing for effective procedures for the
    monitoring of forced labor or indentured labor, including forced or
    indentured child labor. The memorandum of understanding should include
    improved procedures for requesting investigations of suspected work
    sites by international monitors.

            people.
                (2) The Government of the People's Republic of China
            demonstrated that maintaining its monopoly on political power
            is a higher priority than economic development by announcing in
            January 1996 that its official news agency, Xinhua, will
            supervise wire services selling economic information, including
            Dow Jones-Telerate, Bloomberg, and Reuters Business, and in
            announcing in February 1996 the ``Interim Internet Management
            Rules'', which have the effect of censoring computer networks.
                (3) Under the May 30, 1997, order of Premier Li Peng, all
            organizations that engage in business activities related to
            international computer networking must now apply for a license,
            increasing still further government control over access to the
            Internet.
                (4) Both Radio Free Asia and the Voice of America, as a
            surrogate for a free press in the People's Republic of China,
            provide an invaluable source of uncensored information to the
            Chinese people, including objective and authoritative news of
            in-country and regional events, as well as accurate news about
            the United States and its policies.
                (5) Enhanced broadcasting service to China and Tibet can
            efficiently be established through a combination of Radio Free
            Asia and Voice of America programming.
                (6) Radio Free Asia and Voice of America, in working toward
            continuously broadcasting to the People's Republic of China in
            multiple languages, have the capability to establish 24-hour-a-
            day Mandarin broadcasting to that nation by staggering the
            hours of Radio Free Asia and Voice of America.
                (7) Simultaneous broadcastings on Voice of America radio
            and Worldnet television 7 days a week in Mandarin are also
            important and needed capabilities.
