                 Subtitle C--Ballistic Missile Defense

SEC. 231. NATIONAL MISSILE DEFENSE POLICY.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Threats posed by ballistic missiles and weapons of mass 
        destruction to the national territory of the United States 
        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 Congress Concerning National Missile Defense Policy.--
It is the sense of 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.

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

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--

        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;

        (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

        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''.
    (c) Effective Date.--The amendments made by this section shall take 
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 
of the enactment of this Act.

SEC. 332. CLARIFICATION OF REQUIREMENT TO MAINTAIN GOVERNMENT-OWNED AND 
              GOVERNMENT-OPERATED CORE LOGISTICS CAPABILITY.

    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 
Department of Defense in order to satisfy paragraph (4) of subsection 
(a).''.

            (B) coordinating smartcard programs with the Joint Staff, 
        the Secretaries of the military departments, and the directors 
        of the Defense Agencies.
    (2) After the date of the enactment of this Act, funds appropriated 
for the Department of Defense may not be obligated for a smartcard 
program unless the program is reviewed and approved by the Smartcard

gives a defense contractor the responsibility to manage, store, and 
distribute inventory, manage and provide services, or manage and 
perform research, on behalf of the Department of Defense on a frequent, 
regular basis, for users within the Department on request. The term 
includes contracts commonly referred to as prime vendor support 
contracts, flexible sustainment contracts, and direct vendor delivery 
contracts.
    (b) Conditions on Expanded Use.--If the Secretary of Defense or the 
Secretary of a military department proposes to enter into a prime 
vendor contract for a hardware system, including the performance or 
management of depot-level maintenance and repair (as defined in section 
2460 of title 10, United States Code) or logistics management 
responsibilities, the Secretary may not enter into the prime vendor

        use of the prime vendor contract will result in savings to the 
        Government over the life of the contract.
    (c) Comptroller General Review.--During the waiting period provided 
in subsection (b) for a proposed prime vendor contract, the Comptroller 
General shall review the report submitted under subsection (b) with 
respect to that contract and submit to Congress a report regarding--
            (1) whether the cost savings to the Government identified 
        in the report submitted under subsection (b) are achievable; 
        and
            (2) whether use of a prime vendor contract will comply with 
        the requirements of chapter 146 of title 10, United States 
        Code, applicable to depot-level maintenance and repair.
    (d) Relationship to Other Laws.--Nothing in this section shall be 
construed to exempt a prime vendor contract from the requirements of 
section 2461 of title 10, United States Code, or any other provision of 
chapter 146 of such title.

SEC. 335. CLARIFICATION OF DEFINITION OF DEPOT-LEVEL MAINTENANCE AND 
              REPAIR.

    Section 2460(a) of title 10, United States Code, is amended by

        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.
            (2) The C-17 aircraft achieved initial operational 
        capability in January 1995 and will complete the significant 
        fourth year of its operational capability in January 1999.
            (3) As provided in section 2464(a)(3) of title 10, United 
        States Code, the C-17 aircraft is a weapon system that is 
        ``necessary to enable the armed forces to fulfill the strategic 
        and contingency plans prepared by the Chairman of the Joint 
        Chiefs of Staff''.
            (4) The depot-level maintenance and repair of such a weapon 
        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 
merits of the plan.

SEC. 338. CONTRACTOR-OPERATED CIVIL ENGINEERING SUPPLY STORES PROGRAM.

    (a) Definitions.--In this section:
            (1) The term ``contractor-operated civil engineering supply 
        store'' means a Government-owned facility that, as of the date 
        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.

SEC. 339. REPORT ON SAVINGS AND EFFECT OF PERSONNEL REDUCTIONS IN ARMY 
              MATERIEL COMMAND.

    (a) Report Required.--Not later than March 31, 1999, the 
Comptroller General shall submit to the congressional defense 
committees a report concerning--
            (1) the effect that the proposed personnel reductions in 
        the Army Materiel Command will have on workload and readiness 
        if implemented; and
            (2) the likelihood that the cost savings projected to occur 
        from such reductions will actually be achieved.
    (b) Delay in Implementation of Reductions Pending Report.--During 
the period specified in subsection (c), the Secretary of Defense and 
the Secretary of the Army may not commence personnel reductions based 
on the guidelines contained in the May 1997 report of the Quadrennial 
Defense Review (including the National Defense Panel) prepared pursuant 
to subtitle B of title IX of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 1997 (Public Law 104-201; 10 U.S.C. 111 note) at any Army 
Material Command facility that provides depot-level maintenance and 
repair or at any Army Arsenal.
    (c) Duration of Delay.--Subsection (b) applies only during the 
period beginning on the date of the enactment of this Act and ending on 
the earlier of the following:
            (1) March 31, 1999.

restrictions on the ability of eligible patrons of commissary and 
exchange stores located outside of the United States to purchase 
certain merchandise items (or the quantity of certain merchandise 
items) otherwise included within an authorized merchandise category if 
the Secretary determines that such restrictions are necessary to 
prevent the resale of such merchandise in violation of host nation laws 
or treaty obligations of the United States. In establishing a quantity 
or other restriction, the Secretary shall ensure that the restriction 
is consistent with the purpose of the overseas commissary and exchange 
system to provide reasonable access for eligible patrons to purchase

    (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

    (c) Demonstration Program Participants.--Eligible service providers 
shall be offered participation in the CLASS Demonstration Program on 
the basis of their best value CLASS score. Each eligible service

                specified six-month rating period prior to the 
                commencement of the CLASS Demonstration Program; or

           Subtitle D--Decorations, Awards, and Commendations

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--

        against the United States or a foreign nation friendly to the 
        United States;

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).

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

              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.

        1961 to 1970.
            (2) The commandos conducted covert operations in North 
        Vietnam during the Vietnam conflict.

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.

Before the submission to the Office of Management and Budget of the 
proposed Department of Defense budget for inclusion in the President's 
budget for a fiscal year pursuant to section 1105 of title 31, the 
Secretary of Defense, acting through the Under Secretary of Defense 
(Comptroller), shall review all Department of Defense services expected

review under subsection (c) of Department of Defense services expected 
to be performed as contract services during the next fiscal year, the

            (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 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:

        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
