        continue to grow as the trend in ballistic missile 
        proliferation and development is toward longer range and 
        increasingly sophisticated missiles.
            (2) Russian and Chinese sources continue to proliferate 
        missile and other advanced technologies.
            (3) North Korea is developing the Taepo-Dong 2 missile, 
        which would have a range sufficient to strike Alaska and 
        Hawaii, and other countries hostile to the United States, 
        including Iran, Libya, and Iraq, have demonstrated an interest 
        in acquiring or developing ballistic missiles capable of 
        reaching the United States.
            (4) Russia's increased reliance on nuclear forces to 
        compensate for the decline of its conventional forces and 
        uncertainty regarding command and control of those nuclear 
        forces increase the possibility of an accidental or 
        unauthorized launch of Russian ballistic missiles.
            (5) The United States could be deterred from effectively 
        promoting or protecting its national interests around the world 
        if any State or territory of the United States is vulnerable to 
        long-range ballistic missiles deployed by nations hostile to 
        the United States.
    (b) Sense of the Congress Concerning National Missile Defense 
Policy.--It is the sense of the Congress that--
            (1) any national missile defense system deployed by the 
        United States must provide effective defense against limited, 
        accidental, or unauthorized ballistic missile attack for all 50 
        States; and
            (2) the territories of the United States should be afforded 
        effective protection against ballistic missile attack.

        by a private contractor or change to procurement through a 
        private contractor will result in savings to the Government 
        over the life of the contract, including in the comparison--
                    ``(i) the amount estimated by the Secretary of 
                Defense (based on bids received) to be the amount of a 
                contract for performance of the function by a private 
                contractor;
                    ``(ii) the cost to the Government of Department of

                Government would incur (in addition to the amount of 
                the contract) because of the award of such a contract.
            ``(B) An examination of the potential economic effect of 
        performance of the function by a private contractor--
                    ``(i) on employees who would be affected by such a 
                change in performance; and
                    ``(ii) on the local community and the Government, 
                if more than 75 employees perform the function.
            ``(C) An examination of the effect of performance of the 
        function by a private contractor on the military mission of the 
        function.
    ``(4) If the commercial or industrial type function at issue 
involves a working-capital fund in the Department of Defense and the 
study concerns the possible procurement by a requisitioning agency of 
services or supplies from a private contractor instead of the working-
capital fund, in lieu of the comparison required by paragraph (3), the 
study shall include a comparison of the sources of the services or 
supplies to determine which source is more cost-effective for the 
requisitioning agency.
    ``(5) An individual or entity at a facility where a commercial or 
industrial type function is studied for possible change in performance 
may raise an objection to the study on the grounds that the report 
required under paragraph (1) as a precondition for the study does not 
contain the certification required by subparagraph (E) of such 
paragraph. The objection may be raised at any time during the course of 
the study, shall be in writing, and shall be submitted to the Secretary 
of Defense. If the Secretary determines that the certification was 
omitted, the commercial or industrial type function covered by the 
study may not be the subject of request for proposal or award of a 
contract until a certification is made that fully complies with 
paragraph (1)(E) and the other requirements of this section are 
satisfied.
    ``(c) Notification of Decision.--(1) If, as a result of the 
completion of a study under subsection (b)(3), a decision is made to 
change the commercial or industrial type function that was the subject 
of the study to performance by a private contractor or to procurement 
through a private contractor, the Secretary of Defense shall submit to 
Congress a report describing that decision. The report shall--
            ``(A) indicate that the study under subsection (b)(3) has 
        been completed;
            ``(B) certify that the Government calculation for the cost 
        of performance of the function by Department of Defense 
        civilian employees is based on an estimate of the most 
        efficient and cost effective organization for performance of 
        the function by Department of Defense civilian employees;
            ``(C) certify that the comparison required by subsection 
        (b)(3)(A) (or alternatively by subsection (b)(4)) as part of 
        the study demonstrates that the performance of the function by 
        a private contractor or procurement of the function through a 
        private contractor will result in savings to the Government 
        over the life of the contract;
            ``(D) certify that the entire comparison is available for 
        examination; and
            ``(E) contain a timetable for completing change of the 
        function to contractor performance.
    ``(2) The actual change of the function to contractor performance 
may not begin until after the submission of the report required by this 
subsection.''.
    (b) Conforming Amendments.--(1) Subsections (e)(2) and (f)(1) of 
such section are amended by striking out ``converted'' and inserting in 
lieu thereof ``changed''.
    (2) Subsection (f)(2) of such section is amended by striking out 
``conversion'' and inserting in lieu thereof ``change''.

effect on the date of the enactment of this Act but shall not apply 
with respect to conversion of a function of the Department of Defense 
to performance by a private contractor concerning which the Secretary 
of Defense provided to Congress, before the date of the enactment of 
this Act, a notification under paragraph (1) of section 2461(a) of 
title 10, United States Code, as in effect on the day before the date

    Section 2464 of title 10, United States Code, is amended by adding 
at the end the following new subsection:
    ``(c) Rule of Construction.--The requirement under subsection (a) 
that the Department of Defense maintain a core logistics capability 
that is Government-owned and Government-operated is not satisfied when 
a core logistics workload is converted to contractor performance even 
though the actual performance of the workload will be carried out in a 
Government-owned, Government-operated facility of the Department of 
Defense as a subcontractor of the private contractor. Nothing in 
section 2474 of this title or section 337 of the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1995 (Public Law 103-337; 108 Stat. 
2717) authorizes the use of subcontracts as a means to provide 
workloads to Government-owned, Government-operated facilities of the

        modification is minor shall be based on a comparison of only 
        the critical systems of the version sold in the commercial 
        marketplace and the version purchased by the Government, and a 
        modification may not be considered to be minor unless at least 
        90 percent of the total content by component value remains 
        identical.''; and
            (3) by adding at the end the following new subparagraph:
    ``(B) In this paragraph, the term `substantial quantities' means, 
with respect to determining whether an item is a commercial item, that 
purchases and leases of the item to the general public constitute the 
majority of all transactions involving the item at the time the 
exception under paragraph (3) is proposed to be exercised.''.

SEC. 337. DEVELOPMENT OF PLAN FOR ESTABLISHMENT OF CORE LOGISTICS 
              CAPABILITIES FOR MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR OF C-17 AIRCRAFT.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) The C-17 aircraft, which is replacing the C-141 
        aircraft, will serve as the cornerstone of heavy airlift 
        capability of the Armed Forces.

        system must be performed at Government-owned, Government-
        operated facilities of the Department of Defense in order to 
        maintain the core logistics capabilities of the Department of 
        Defense, as required under such section 2464.
            (5) The sole-source contract entered into in January 1998 
        regarding the depot-level maintenance and repair of C-17 
        aircraft and related tasks, known as the Interim Contract for 
        the C-17 Flexible Sustainment Program, does not meet the 
        requirements of law.
    (b) Plan Required.--Not later than March 1, 1999, the Secretary of 
the Air Force shall submit to Congress a plan for the establishment of 
the core logistics capabilities for the C-17 aircraft consistent with 
the requirements of section 2464 of title 10, United States Code.
    (c) Effect on Existing Contract.--After March 1, 1999, the 
Secretary of the Air Force may not extend the Interim Contract for the 
C-17 Flexible Sustainment Program until after the end of the 60-day 
period beginning on the date the plan required by subsection (b) is 
received by Congress.
    (d) Comptroller General Review.--During the period specified in 
subsection (c), the Comptroller General shall review the plan required 
under subsection (b) and submit to Congress a report evaluating the

        of the enactment of this Act, is operated by a contractor under 
        the contractor-operated civil engineering supply store (COCESS) 
        program of the Department of the Air Force for the purpose of--
                    (A) maintaining inventories of civil engineering 
                supplies on behalf of a military department; and
                    (B) furnishing such supplies to the department as 
                needed.
            (2) The term ``civil engineering supplies'' means parts and 
        supplies needed for the repair and maintenance of military 
        installations.
    (b) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) In 1970, the Strategic Air Command of the Air Force 
        began to use contractor-operated civil engineering supply 
        stores to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of materials 
        management and relieve the Air Force from having to maintain 
        large inventories of civil engineering supplies.
            (2) Contractor-operated civil engineering supply stores are 
        designed to support the civil engineering and public works 
        efforts of the Armed Forces through the provision of quality 
        civil engineering supplies at competitive prices and within a 
        reasonable period of time.
            (3) Through the use of a contractor-operated civil 
        engineering supply store, a guaranteed inventory level of civil 
        engineering supplies is maintained at a military installation, 
        which ensures that urgently needed civil engineering supplies 
        are available on site.
            (4) The contractor operating the contractor-operated civil 
        engineering supply store is an independent business 
        organization whose customer is a military department and the 
        Armed Forces and who is subject to all the rules of private 
        business and the regulations of the Government.
            (5) The use of contractor-operated civil engineering supply 
        stores ensures the best price and best buy for the Government.
            (6) Ninety-five percent of the cost savings realized 
        through the use of contractor-operated civil engineering supply 
        stores is due to savings in the cost of actually procuring 
        supplies.
            (7) In the past 30 years, private contractors have never 
        lost a cost comparison conducted pursuant to the criteria set 
        forth in Office of Management and Budget Circular A-76 for the 
        provision of civil engineering supplies to the Government.
    (c) Conditions on Multi-Function Contracts.--A civil engineering 
supplies function that is performed, as of the date of the enactment of 
this Act, by a contractor-operated civil engineering supply store may 
not be combined with another supply function or any service function, 
including any base operating support function, for purposes of 
competition or contracting, until--
            (1) the Secretary of Defense submits to Congress a report--
                    (A) notifying Congress of the proposed combined 
                competition or contract; and
                    (B) explaining why a combined competition or 
                contract is the best method by which to achieve cost 
                savings and efficiencies to the Government; and
            (2) the Comptroller General reviews the report and submits 
        to Congress a briefing regarding whether the cost savings and 
        efficiencies identified in the report are achievable.
    (d) Relationship to Other Laws.--If a civil engineering supplies 
function covered by subsection (c) is proposed for combination with a 
supply or service function that is subject to the study and reporting 
requirements of section 2461 of title 10, United States Code, the 
Secretary of Defense may include the report required under subsection 
(c) as part of the report under such section.

providing domestic personal property shipping services shall not be 
precluded from providing such services to international destinations 
through an affiliated freight forwarder.
    (2) If a motor carrier is affiliated with another motor carrier or 
freight forwarder that also seeks qualification to participate in the 
CLASS Demonstration Program, the affiliate must demonstrate that it 
also conducts independent regular motor carrier operations using motor 
vehicles or independent freight forwarding services described in 
subparagraph (A), (B), or (C) of section 13102(8) of title 49, United

            (2) Participation by quality service providers.--A minimum 
        best value CLASS score shall be established for participation 
        in the CLASS Demonstration Program. In establishing the minimum

        opportunity to review and make comment on a performance 
        evaluation provided by an individual in a manner that will not 
        deter candid evaluations by the individual. The results of this 
        evaluation may be used in developing future best value CLASS 
        scores.

           Subtitle D--Decorations, Awards, and Commendations

SEC. 531. STUDY OF NEW DECORATIONS FOR INJURY OR DEATH IN LINE OF DUTY.

    (a) Determination of Criteria for New Decoration.--(1) The 
Secretary of Defense shall determine the appropriate name, policy, 
award criteria, and design for two possible new decorations.
    (2) The first such decoration would, if implemented, be awarded to 
members of the Armed Forces who, while serving under competent 
authority in any capacity with the Armed Forces, are killed or injured 
in the line of duty as a result of noncombat circumstances occurring--
            (A) as a result of an international terrorist attack 
        against the United States or a foreign nation friendly to the 
        United States;
            (B) while engaged in, training for, or traveling to or from 
        a peacetime or contingency operation; or
            (C) while engaged in, training for, or traveling to or from 
        service outside the territory of the United States as part of a 
        peacekeeping force.
    (3) The second such decoration would, if implemented, be awarded to 
civilian nationals of the United States who, while serving under 
competent authority in any capacity with the Armed Forces, are killed 
or injured in the line of duty under circumstances which, if they were 
members of the Armed Forces, would qualify them for award of the Purple 
Heart or the medal described in paragraph (2).
    (b) Limitation on Implementation.--Any such decoration may only be 
implemented as provided by a law enacted after the date of the 
enactment of this Act.
    (c) Recommendation to Congress.--Not later than July 31, 1999, the

Secretary's recommendation concerning the need for, and propriety of, 
each of the decorations.

    (a) Waiver of Time Limitation.--Any limitation established by law 
or policy for the time within which a recommendation for the award of a 
military decoration or award must be submitted shall not apply in the

military department concerned to be warranted in accordance with 
section 1130 of title 10, United States Code.
    (b) Distinguished Flying Cross.--Subsection (a) applies to awards 
of the Distinguished Flying Cross for service during World War II or

Committee on Armed Services of the Senate, before the date of the 
enactment of this Act, a notice as provided in section 1130(b) of title

              SERVED IN THE UNITED STATES NAVY ASIATIC FLEET FROM 1910-
              1942.

    (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 in 
        December 1941, the warships, submarines, and aircraft of the 
        Asiatic Fleet singly or in task forces courageously fought many 
        battles against a superior Japanese armada.
            (5) The Asiatic Fleet directly suffered the loss of 22 
        vessels, 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) Congressional Commendation.--Congress--
            (1) commends the Navy and Marine Corps personnel who served 
        in the Asiatic Fleet of the United States Navy between 1910 and 
        1942; and
            (2) honors those who gave their lives in the line of duty 
        while serving in the Asiatic Fleet.

SEC. 534. APPRECIATION FOR SERVICE DURING WORLD WAR I AND WORLD WAR II 
              BY MEMBERS OF THE NAVY ASSIGNED ON BOARD MERCHANT SHIPS 
              AS THE NAVAL ARMED GUARD SERVICE.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The Navy established a special force during both World 
        War I and World War II, known as the Naval Armed Guard Service, 
        to protect merchant ships of the United States from enemy 
        attack by stationing members of the Navy and weapons on board 
        those ships.
            (2) Members of the Naval Armed Guard Service served on 
        6,236 merchant ships during World War II, of which 710 were 
        sunk by enemy action.
            (3) Over 144,900 members of the Navy served in the Naval 
        Armed Guard Service during World War II as officers, gun 
        crewmen, signalmen, and radiomen, of whom 1,810 were killed in 
        action.
            (4) The efforts of the members of the Naval Armed Guard 
        Service played a significant role in the safe passage of United 
        States merchant ships to their destinations in the Soviet Union 
        and various locations in western Europe and the Pacific 
        Theater.
            (5) The efforts of the members of the Navy who served in 
        the Naval Armed Guard Service have been largely overlooked due 
        to the rapid disbanding of the service after World War II and 
        lack of adequate records.
            (6) Recognition of the service of the naval personnel who 
        served in the Naval Armed Guard Service is highly warranted and 
        long overdue.
    (b) Sense of the Congress.--Congress expresses its appreciation, 
and the appreciation of the American people, for the dedicated service 
performed during World War I and World War II by members of the Navy 
assigned as gun crews on board merchant ships as part of the Naval 
Armed Guard Service.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) South Vietnam, Australia, South Korea, Thailand, New

        conducted in Southeast Asia during the Vietnam conflict.
            (3) The contributions of these combat forces continued 
        through long years of armed conflict.
            (4) As a result, in addition to the United States 
        casualties exceeding 210,000, this willingness to participate 
        in the Vietnam conflict resulted in the death, and wounding of 
        more than 1,000,000 military personnel from South Vietnam and 
        16,000 from other allied nations.
            (5) The service of the Vietnamese, indigenous groups, and 
        other allied nations was repeatedly marked by exceptional 
        heroism and sacrifice, with particularly noteworthy 
        contributions being made by the Vietnamese airborne, commando, 
        infantry and ranger units, the Republic of Korea marines, the 
        Capital and White Horse divisions, the Royal Thai Army Black 
        Panther Division, the Royal Australian Regiment, the New 
        Zealand ``V'' force, and the 1st Philippine Civic Action Group.
    (b) Sense of the Congress.--Congress recognizes and honors the 
members and former members of the military forces of South Vietnam, the 
Republic of Korea, Thailand, Australia, New Zealand, and the 
Philippines, as well as members of the Hmong, Nung, Montagnard, Kahmer, 
Hoa Hao, and Cao Dai, for their heroism, sacrifice and service in 
connection with United States Armed Forces during the Vietnam conflict.

SEC. 536. SENSE OF THE 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 finds the following:
            (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 the 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.

report the following:
            (1) A description of the basis for the selection of 
        prisoners to be transferred, particularly in light of the fact 
        that many of the prisoners transferred are minimum or medium 
        security prisoners, who are considered to have the best chance

        indicates a change in Department of Defense policy regarding 
        the rehabilitation of military prisoners.

        prisoners released from the United States Disciplinary Barracks

            (3) A description of the projected future flow of prisoners 
        into the new United States Disciplinary Barracks being 
        constructed at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, and whether the 
        Secretary of the Army plans to automatically send new prisoners 
        to the Federal Bureau of Prisons without serving at the United 
        States Disciplinary Barracks if that Barracks is at capacity 
        and whether the Memorandum of Understanding between the Federal 
        Bureau of Prisons and the Army covers that possibility.
            (4) A description of the cost of incarcerating a prisoner 
        in the Federal Bureau of Prisons compared to the United States 
        Disciplinary Barracks and the assessment of the Secretary as to 
        the extent to which the transfer of prisoners to the Federal 
        Bureau of Prisons by the Secretary of the Army is made in order 
        to shift a budgetary burden.
    (c) Monitoring.--During fiscal years 1999 through 2003, the

prisoners transferred from the United States Disciplinary Barracks, 
Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, to the Federal Bureau of Prisons.

SEC. 725. REPORT ON IMPLEMENTATION OF ENROLLMENT-BASED CAPITATION FOR 
              FUNDING FOR MILITARY MEDICAL TREATMENT FACILITIES.

    (a) Report Required.--The Secretary of Defense shall submit to 
Congress a report on the potential impact of using an enrollment-based 
capitation methodology to allocate funds for military medical treatment 
facilities. The report shall address the following:
            (1) A description of the plans of the Secretary to 
        implement an enrollment-based capitation methodology for 
        military medical treatment facilities and with respect to 
        contracts for the delivery of health care under the TRICARE 
        program.
            (2) The justifications for implementing an enrollment-based 
        capitation methodology without first conducting a demonstration 
        project for implementation of such methodology.
            (3) The impact that implementation of an enrollment based 
        capitation methodology would have on the provision of space-
        available care at military medical treatment facilities, 
        particularly in the case of care for--
                    (A) military retirees entitled who are entitled to 
                hospital insurance benefits under part A of title XVIII 
                of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1395c et seq.); 
                and
                    (B) covered beneficiaries under chapter 55 of title 
                10, United States Code, who reside outside the 
                catchment area of a military medical treatment 
                facility.
            (4) The impact that implementation of an enrollment-based 
        capitation methodology would have with respect to the pharmacy 
        benefits provided at military medical treatment facilities, 
        given that the enrollment-based capitation methodology would 
        fund military medical treatment facilities based on the number 
        of members at such facilities enrolled in TRICARE Prime, but 
        all covered beneficiaries may fill prescriptions at military 
        medical treatment facility pharmacies.
            (5) An explanation of how additional funding will be 
        provided for a military medical treatment facility if an 
        enrollment-based capitation methodology is implemented to 
        ensure that space-available care and pharmacy coverage can be 
        provided to covered beneficiaries who are not enrolled at the 
        military medical treatment facility, and the amount of funding 
        that will be available.
            (6) An explanation of how implementation of an enrollment-
        based capitation methodology would impact the provision of 
        uniform benefits under TRICARE Prime, and how the Secretary 
        would ensure, if such methodology were implemented, that the 
        provision of health care under TRICARE Prime would not be 
        bifurcated between the provision of such care at military 
        medical treatment facilities and the provision of such care 
        from civilian providers.
    (b) Deadline for Submission.--The Secretary shall submit the report 
required by subsection (a) not later than March 1, 1999.

SEC. 905. INDEPENDENT TASK FORCE ON TRANSFORMATION AND DEPARTMENT OF 
              DEFENSE ORGANIZATION.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) The post-Cold War era is marked by geopolitical 
        uncertainty and by accelerating technological change, 
        particularly with regard to information technologies.
            (2) The combination of that geopolitical uncertainty and 
        accelerating technological change portends a transformation in 
        the conduct of war, particularly in ways that are likely to 
        increase the effectiveness of joint force operations.
            (3) The Department of Defense must be organized 
        appropriately in order to fully exploit the opportunities 
        offered by, and to meet the challenges posed by, this 
        anticipated transformation in the conduct of war.
            (4) The basic organization of the Department of Defense was 
        established by the National Security Act of 1947 and the 1949 
        amendments to that Act.
            (5) The Goldwater-Nichols Department of Defense 
        Reorganization Act of 1986 (Public Law 99-433) dramatically 
        improved the capability of the Department of Defense to carry 
        out operations involving joint forces, but did not address 
        adequately issues pertaining to the development of joint 
        forces.
            (6) In the future, the ability to achieve improved 
        operations of joint forces, particularly under rapidly changing 
        technological conditions, will depend on improved force 
        development for joint forces.
    (b) Independent Task Force on Transformation and Department of 
Defense Organization.--The Secretary of Defense shall establish a task 
force of the Defense Science Board to examine the current organization 
of the Department of Defense with regard to the appropriateness of that 
organization for preparing for a transformation in the conduct of war. 
The task force shall be established not later than November 1, 1998.
    (c) Duties of the Task Force.--The task force shall assess, and 
shall make recommendations for the appropriate organization of, the 
Office of the Secretary of Defense, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the 
individual Armed Forces, and the executive parts of the military 
departments for the purpose of preparing the Department of Defense for 
a transformation in the conduct of war. In making those assessments and 
developing those recommendations, the task force shall review the 
following:
            (1) The general organization of the Department of Defense, 
        including whether responsibility and authority for issues 
        relating to a transformation in the conduct of war are 
        appropriately allocated, especially among the Office of the 
        Secretary of Defense, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the 
        individual Armed Forces.
            (2) The joint requirements process and the requirements 
        processes for each of the Armed Forces, including the 
        establishment of measures of effectiveness and methods for 
        resource allocation.
            (3) The process and organizations responsible for doctrinal 
        development, including the appropriate relationship between 
        joint force and service doctrine and doctrinal development 
        organizations.
            (4) The current programs and organizations under the Office 
        of the Secretary of Defense, the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the 
        Armed Forces devoted to innovation and experimentation related 
        to a transformation in the conduct of war, including the 
        appropriateness of--
                    (A) conducting joint field tests;
                    (B) establishing a separate unified command as a 
                joint forces command to serve, as its sole function, as 
                the trainer, provider, and developer of forces for 
                joint operations;
                    (C) establishing a Joint Concept Development Center 
                to monitor exercises and develop measures of 
                effectiveness, analytical concepts, models, and 
                simulations appropriate for understanding the 
                transformation in the conduct of war;
                    (D) establishing a Joint Battle Laboratory 
                headquarters to conduct joint experimentation and to 
                integrate the similar efforts of the Armed Forces; and
                    (E) establishing an Assistant Secretary of Defense 
                for transformation in the conduct of war.
            (5) Joint training establishments and training 
        establishments of the Armed Forces, including those devoted to 
        professional military education, and the appropriateness of 
        establishing national training centers.
            (6) Other issues relating to a transformation in the 
        conduct of war that the Secretary considers appropriate.
    (d) Report.--The task force shall submit to the Secretary of 
Defense a report containing its assessments and recommendations not 
later than February 1, 1999. The Secretary shall submit the report to 
the Committee on National Security of the House of Representatives and 
the Committee on Armed Services of the Senate not later than March 1, 
1999, together with the recommendations and comments of the Secretary 
of Defense.

of safeguarding United States forces in the event of hostilities, 
imminent hostilities, or other grave danger to their well-being. Such

SEC. 1202. REPORTS ON THE MISSION OF UNITED STATES FORCES IN REPUBLIC 
              OF BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) In section 1202(1) of the National Defense 
        Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1998 (Public Law 105-85; 111 
        Stat. 1929; approved November 18, 1997), it was stated to be 
        the sense of the Congress that United States ground combat 
        forces should not participate in a follow-on force in the 
        Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina after June 1998.
            (2) On December 16, 1997, the President announced his 
        support for the continued deployment of United States ground 
        combat forces in the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina after 
        June 30, 1998, as part of a multinational peacekeeping force 
        led by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).
            (3) The President's decision to extend the presence of 
        United States ground combat forces in the Republic of Bosnia 
        and Herzegovina has changed the mission of those forces in a 
        fundamental manner.
            (4) The President has in effect committed United States 
        ground combat forces in the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina 
        to providing a secure environment for complete implementation 
        of the civilian provisions of the Dayton Accords.
            (5) The Administration has not specified how long such an 
        achievement will take and, therefore, the mission of United 
        States ground combat forces in the Republic of Bosnia and 
        Herzegovina is of indefinite duration.
    (b) Annual Presidential Report.--(1) The President shall submit to 
Congress an annual report on the presence of United States ground 
combat forces in the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Each such 
report shall include the following:
            (A) The President's assessment of progress toward the full 
        implementation of the civilian goals of the Dayton Accord, as 
        specified in subsection (c).
            (B) The expected duration of the deployment of United 
        States ground combat forces in the Republic of Bosnia and 
        Herzegovina in support of implementation of those goals.
            (C) The percentage of those goals that have been completed 
        as of the date of the report, the percentage that are expected 
        to be completed within the next reporting period, and the 
        expected time for completion of the remaining tasks.
    (2) The first report under this subsection shall be submitted not 
later than 90 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, and 
subsequent reports shall be submitted at yearly intervals thereafter. 
The requirement to submit an annual report under this subsection 
terminates upon the withdrawal of all United States ground combat 
forces from the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
    (c) Basis for Assessment of Progress.--For purposes of subsection 
(b)(1)(A), the President shall assess whether progress is being made

    It is the sense of the Congress that--
            (1) United States business interests must not be placed 
        above United States national security interests;
            (2) at the Presidential summit meeting to be held in the 
        People's Republic of China in June of 1998, the United States 
        should not--
                    (A) support membership of the People's Republic of 
                China in the Missile Technology Control Regime;
                    (B) agree to issue any blanket waiver of the 
                suspensions contained in section 902 of the Foreign 
                Relations Authorization Act, Fiscal Years 1990 and 1991 
                (Public Law 101-246), regarding the export of 
                satellites of United States origin intended for launch 
                from a launch vehicle owned by the People's Republic of 
                China;
                    (C) agree to increase the number of launches of 
                satellites to geosynchronous orbit by the People's

                II(B)(ii) of the 1995 Memorandum of Agreement Between 
                the Government of the United States of America and the

                International Trade in Commercial Launch Services;
                    (D) support any cooperative project with the 
                People's Republic of China to design or manufacture 
                satellites;
                    (E) enter into any new scientific, technical, or 
                other agreements, or amend any existing scientific, 
                technical, or other agreements, with the People's 
                Republic of China involving space or missile-related 
                technology;

        waiver allowing the export of satellite technology to the 
        People's Republic of China was not in the national interest of 
        the United States, given the ongoing criminal investigation by 
        the Justice Department of the transfer in 1996 of satellite 
        technology to that country;
            (4) the executive branch should ensure that United States

         TITLE XIV--DEFENSE AGAINST WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION

SEC. 1401. SHORT TITLE.

    This title may be cited as the ``Defense Against Weapons of Mass 
Destruction Act of 1998''.

SEC. 1402. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds the following:
            (1) Many nations currently possess weapons of mass 
        destruction and related materials and technologies, and such 
        weapons are increasingly available to a variety of sources 
        through legitimate and illegitimate means.
            (2) The proliferation of weapons of mass destruction is 
        growing, and will likely continue despite the best efforts of 
        the international community to limit their flow.
            (3) The increased availability, relative affordability, and 
        ease of use of weapons of mass destruction may make the use of 
        such weapons an increasingly attractive option to potential 
        adversaries who are not otherwise capable of countering United 
        States military superiority.
            (4) On November 12, 1997, President Clinton issued an 
        Executive Order stating that ``the proliferation of nuclear, 
        biological, and chemical weapons (``weapons of mass 
        destruction'') and the means of delivering such weapons 
        constitutes an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national 
        security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States'' 
        and declaring a national emergency to deal with that threat.
            (5) The Quadrennial Defense Review concluded that the 
        threat or use of weapons of mass destruction is a likely 
        condition of future warfare and poses a potential threat to the 
        United States.
            (6) The United States lacks adequate preparedness at the 
        Federal, State, and local levels to respond to a potential 
        attack on the United States involving weapons of mass 
        destruction.
            (7) The United States has initiated an effort to enhance 
        the capability of Federal, State, and local governments as well 
        as local emergency response personnel to prevent and respond to 
        a domestic terrorist incident involving weapons of mass 
        destruction.
            (8) More than 40 Federal departments, agencies, and bureaus 
        are involved in combating terrorism, and many, including the 
        Department of Defense, the Department of Justice, the 
        Department of Energy, the Department of Health and Human 
        Services, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency, are 
        executing programs to provide civilian personnel at the 
        Federal, State, and local levels with training and assistance 
        to prevent and respond to incidents involving weapons of mass 
        destruction.
            (9) The Department of Energy has established a Nuclear 
        Emergency Response Team which is available to respond to 
        incidents involving nuclear or radiological emergencies.
            (10) The Department of Defense has begun to implement a 
        program to train local emergency responders in major cities 
        throughout the United States to prevent and respond to 
        incidents involving weapons of mass destruction.
            (11) The Department of Justice has established a National 
        Center for Domestic Preparedness at Fort McClellan, Alabama, to 
        conduct nuclear, biological, and chemical preparedness training 
        for Federal, State, and local officials to enhance emergency 
        response to incidents involving weapons of mass destruction.
            (12) Despite these activities, Federal agency initiatives 
        to enhance domestic preparedness to respond to an incident 
        involving weapons of mass destruction are hampered by 
        incomplete interagency coordination and overlapping 
        jurisdiction of agency missions, for example:
                    (A) The Secretary of Defense has proposed the 
                establishment of 10 Rapid Assessment and Initial 
                Detection elements, composed of 22 National Guard 
                personnel, to provide timely regional assistance to 
                local emergency responders during an incident involving 
                chemical or biological weapons of mass destruction. 
                However, the precise working relationship between these 
                National Guard elements, the Federal Emergency 
                Management Agency regional offices, and State and local 
                emergency response agencies has not yet been 
                determined.
                    (B) The Federal Emergency Management Agency, the 
                lead Federal agency for consequence management in 
                response to a terrorist incident involving weapons of 
                mass destruction, has withdrawn from the role of chair 
                of the Senior Interagency Coordination Group for 
                domestic emergency preparedness, and a successor agency 
                to chair the Senior Interagency Coordinator has not yet 
                been determined.
                    (C) In order to ensure effective local response 
                capabilities to incidents involving weapons of mass 
                destruction, the Federal Government, in addition to 
                providing training, must concurrently address the need 
                for--
                            (i) compatible communications capabilities 
                        for all Federal, State, and local emergency 
                        responders, which often use different radio 
                        systems and operate on different radio 
                        frequencies;
                            (ii) adequate equipment necessary for 
                        response to an incident involving weapons of 
                        mass destruction, and a means to ensure that 
                        financially lacking localities have access to 
                        such equipment;
                            (iii) local and regional planning efforts 
                        to ensure the effective execution of emergency 
                        response in the event of an incident involving 
                        a weapon of mass destruction; and
                            (iv) increased planning and training to 
                        prepare for emergency response capabilities in 
                        port areas and littoral waters.
                    (D) The Congress is aware that Presidential 
                Decision Directives relating to domestic emergency 
                preparedness for response to terrorist incidents 
                involving weapons of mass destruction are being 
                considered, but agreement has not been reached within 
                the executive branch.
