United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE; FINDINGS.

    (a) Short Title.--This Act may be cited as the ``Floyd D. Spence 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2001''.
    (b) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Representative Floyd D. Spence of South Carolina was 
        elected to the House of Representatives in 1970, for service in 
        the 92d Congress, after serving in the South Carolina 
        legislature for 10 years, and he has been reelected to each 
        subsequent Congress.
            (2) Representative Spence came to Congress as a 
        distinguished veteran of service in the Armed Forces of the 
        United States.
            (3) Upon graduation from college in 1952, Representative 
        Spence was commissioned as an ensign in the United States Naval 
        Reserve. After entering active duty, he served with distinction 
        aboard the USS CARTER HALL and the USS LSM-397 during the 
        Korean War and later served as commanding officer of a Naval 
        Reserve Surface Division and as group commander of all Naval 
        Reserve units in Columbia, South Carolina. Representative 
        Spence retired from the Naval Reserve in 1988 in the grade of 
        captain, after 41 years of dedicated service.
            (4) Upon election to the House of Representatives, 
        Representative Spence became a member of the Committee on Armed 
        Services of that body. During 30 years of service on that 
        committee (4 years of which were served while the committee was 
        known as the Committee on National Security), Representative 
        Spence's contributions to the national defense and security of 
        the United States have been profound and long lasting.
            (5) Representative Spence served as chairman of that 
        committee while known as the Committee on National Security 
        during the 104th and 105th Congresses and serves as chairman of 
        that committee for the 106th Congress. In addition, 
        Representative Spence served as the ranking minority member of 
        the Committee on Armed Services during the 103d Congress.
            (6) Dozens of awards from active duty and reserve military, 
        veterans service, military retiree, and industry organizations 
        and associations have recognized the distinguished character of 
        Representative Spence's service to the Nation.
            (7) Representative Spence has been a leading figure in the 
        debate over many of the most critical military readiness, 
        health care, recruiting, and retention issues currently 
        confronting the Nation's military. His concern for the men and 
        women in uniform has been unwavering, and his accomplishments 
        in promoting and gaining support for those issues that preserve 
        the combat effectiveness, morale, and quality of life of the 
        Nation's military personnel have been unparalleled.
            (8) During his tenure as chairman of the Committee on 
        National Security and the Committee on Armed Services of the 
        House of Representatives, Representative Spence has--
                    (A) led efforts to identify and reverse the effect 
                that declining resources and rising commitments have 
                had on military quality of life for service members and 
                their families, on combat readiness, and on equipment 
                modernization, with a direct result of those diligent 
                efforts and of his willingness to be an outspoken 
                proponent for America's military being that Congress 
                has added nearly $50,000,000,000 to the President's 
                defense budgets over the past 5 years;
                    (B) been a leading proponent of the need to 
                expeditiously develop and field a national missile 
                defense to protect American citizens and forward 
                deployed military forces from growing ballistic missile 
                threats;
                    (C) advocated reversing the growing disparity 
                between actual military capability and the requirements 
                associated with the National Military Strategy; and
                    (D) led efforts in Congress to reform Department of 
                Defense acquisition and management headquarters and 
                infrastructure and business practices.
            (9) This Act is the 30th annual authorization bill for the 
        Department of Defense for which Representative Spence has taken 
        a major responsibility as a member of the Committee on Armed 
        Services of the House of Representatives (including 4 years 
        while that committee was known as the Committee on National 
        Security).
            (10) In light of the findings in the preceding paragraphs, 
        it is altogether fitting and proper that this Act be named in 
        honor of Representative Floyd D. Spence of South Carolina, as 
        provided in subsection (a).

destroyer that is based on the assumption of the following schedule:
            (1) Award of a contract for advance procurement for 
        construction of components for the DD-21 destroyer during 
        fiscal year 2004.
            (2) Delivery of the completed ship during fiscal year 2009.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) there are compelling reasons for starting the program 
        for constructing the DD-21 destroyer during fiscal year 2004 
        with available procurement funds and continuing with sequential 
        construction of DD-21 class destroyers during the ensuing 
        fiscal years until 32 DD-21 class destroyers have been 
        constructed; and
            (2) the Secretary of the Navy, in providing for the 
        acquisition of DD-21 class destroyers, should consider that--
                    (A) the Marine Corps needs the surface fire-support 
                capabilities of the DD-21 class destroyers as soon as 
                possible in order to mitigate the inadequacies of the 
                surface fire-support capabilities that are currently 
                available;
                    (B) the Navy and Marine Corps need to resolve 
                whether there is a requirement for surface fire-support 
                missile weapon systems to be easily sustainable by 
                means of replenishment while under way;
                    (C) the technology insertion approach has been 
                successful for other ship construction programs and is 
                being pursued for the CVNX aircraft carrier program and 
                the Virginia class submarine program;
                    (D) the establishment of a stable configuration for 
                the first 10 DD-21 class destroyers should enable the 
                construction of those ships with the greatest 
                capabilities at the lowest cost; and
                    (E) action to acquire DD-21 class destroyers should 
                be taken as soon as possible in order to realize fully 
                the cost savings that can be derived from the 
                construction and operation of DD-21 class destroyers, 
                including--
                            (i) savings in construction costs that 
                        would result from achievement of the Navy's 
                        target per-ship cost of $750,000,000 by the 
                        fifth ship constructed in each construction 
                        yard;
                            (ii) savings that would result from the 
                        estimated reduction of the crews of destroyers 
                        by 200 or more personnel for each ship; and
                            (iii) savings that would result from a 
                        reduction in the operating costs for destroyers 
                        by an estimated 70 percent.

include a discussion of each of the following matters:
            (1) The technical feasibility of contracting for, and 
        commencing construction of, the first destroyer in that class 
        during fiscal year 2004 and achieving delivery of the completed 
        ship during fiscal year 2009.
            (2) An analysis of alternative contracting strategies for 
        the construction of the first 10 destroyers in that class, 
        including one or more multiyear procurement strategies and one 
        or more strategies for block buy in economic order quantity.
            (3) A comparison of the effects on the destroyer industrial 
        base and on costs to other Navy shipbuilding programs of the 
        following two options:
                    (A) Commencing construction of the first destroyer 
                in that class during fiscal year 2004, with delivery of 
                the completed ship during fiscal year 2009, and 
                delaying commencement of construction of the next 
                destroyer in that class until fiscal year 2006.
                    (B) Commencing construction of the first destroyer 
                in that class during fiscal year 2005 (rather than 
                fiscal year 2004), with advance procurement during 
                fiscal year 2004 and delivery of the completed ship 
                during fiscal year 2010, and delaying commencement of 
                construction of the next destroyer in that class until 
                fiscal year 2007 (rather than fiscal year 2006).
            (4) The effects on the fleet maintenance strategies of Navy 
        fleet commanders, on commercial maintenance facilities in fleet 
        concentration areas, and on the administration of funds in 
        compliance with section 2466 of title 10, United States Code, 
        of awarding to a contractor for the construction of a destroyer 
        in that class all maintenance workloads for destroyers in that 
        class that are below depot-level maintenance and above ship-
        level maintenance.

              RESEARCH EFFORTS DURING THE PERIOD FROM BEFORE WORLD WAR 
              II THROUGH THE END OF THE COLD WAR.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The contributions of the Nation's scientific community 
        and of science research to the victory of the United States and 
        its allies in World War II resulted in the understanding that 
        science and technology are of critical importance to the future 
        security of the Nation.
            (2) Academic institutions and oceanographers provided vital 
        support to the Navy and the Marine Corps during World War II.
            (3) Congress created the Office of Naval Research in the 
        Department of the Navy in 1946 to ensure the availability of 
        resources for research in oceanography and other fields related 
        to the missions of the Navy and Marine Corps.
            (4) The Office of Naval Research of the Department of the 
        Navy, in addition to its support of naval research within the 
        Federal Government, has also supported the conduct of 
        oceanographic and scientific research through partnerships with 
        educational and scientific institutions throughout the Nation.
            (5) These partnerships have long been recognized as among 
        the most innovative and productive research partnerships ever 
        established by the Federal Government and have resulted in a 
        vast improvement in understanding of basic ocean processes and 
        the development of new technologies critical to the security 
        and defense of the Nation.
    (b) Congressional Recognition and Appreciation.--Congress--
            (1) applauds the commitment and dedication of the officers, 
        scientists, researchers, students, and administrators who were 
        instrumental to the program of partnerships for oceanographic 
        and scientific research between the Federal Government and 
        academic institutions, including those individuals who helped 
        forge that program before World War II, implement it during 
        World War II, and improve it throughout the Cold War;
            (2) recognizes that the Nation, in ultimately prevailing in 
        the Cold War, relied to a significant extent on research 
        supported by, and technologies developed through, those 
        partnerships and, in particular, on the superior understanding 
        of the ocean environment generated through that research;
            (3) supports efforts by the Secretary of the Navy and the 
        Chief of Naval Research to honor those individuals, who 
        contributed so greatly and unselfishly to the naval mission and 
        the national defense, through those partnerships during the 
        period beginning before World War II and continuing through the 
        end of the Cold War; and
            (4) expresses appreciation for the ongoing efforts of the 
        Office of Naval Research to support oceanographic and 
        scientific research and the development of researchers in those 
        fields, to ensure that such partnerships will continue to make 
        important contributions to the defense and the general welfare 
        of the Nation.

        address any of the following conditions:
                    (A) The condition of the facility poses a threat to 
                the safety and well-being of students.
                    (B) The requirements of the Americans with 
                Disabilities Act of 1990.
                    (C) The cost associated with asbestos removal, 
                energy conservation, or technology upgrades.
                    (D) Overcrowding conditions as evidenced by the use 
                of trailers and portable buildings and the potential 
                for future overcrowding because of increased 
                enrollment.
            (5) The repair or renovation of facilities is needed to 
        meet any other Federal or State mandate.
            (6) The number of military dependent students as a 
        percentage of the total student population in the particular 
        school facility.

SEC. 375. NEW METHODOLOGY FOR PREPARING BUDGET REQUESTS TO SATISFY ARMY 
              READINESS REQUIREMENTS.

    (a) Requirement for New Methodology.--The Secretary of the Army 
shall develop a new methodology for preparing budget requests for 
operation and maintenance for the Army that can be used to ensure that 
the budget requests for operation and maintenance for future fiscal 
years more accurately reflect the Army's requirements than did the

SEC. 376. REVIEW OF AH-64 AIRCRAFT PROGRAM.

    (a) Requirement for Review.--The Comptroller General shall conduct 
a review of the Army's AH-64 aircraft program to determine--
            (1) whether obsolete spare parts, rather than spare parts 
        for the latest aircraft configuration, are being procured;
            (2) whether there is insufficient sustaining system 
        technical support;
            (3) whether technical data packages and manuals are 
        obsolete;
            (4) whether there are unfunded requirements for airframe 
        and component upgrades; and

shall submit to the congressional defense committees a report on the 
results of the review under subsection (a).

SEC. 377. REPORT ON AIR FORCE SPARE AND REPAIR PARTS PROGRAM FOR C-5 
              AIRCRAFT.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) There exists a significant shortfall in the Nation's 
        current strategic airlift requirement, even though strategic 
        airlift remains critical to the national security strategy of 
        the United States.
            (2) This shortfall results from the slow phase-out of C-141 
        aircraft and their replacement with C-17 aircraft and from 
        lower than optimal reliability rates for the C-5 aircraft.
            (3) One of the primary causes of these reliability rates 
        for C-5 aircraft, and especially for operational unit aircraft, 
        is the shortage of spare repair parts. Over the past 5 years, 
        this shortage has been particularly evident in the C-5 fleet.
            (4) Not Mission Capable for Supply rates for C-5 aircraft 
        have increased significantly in the period between 1997 and 
        1999. At Dover Air Force Base, Delaware, for example, an 
        average of 7 to 9 C-5 aircraft were not available during that 
        period because of a lack of parts.
            (5) Average rates of cannibalization of C-5 aircraft per 
        100 sorties of such aircraft have also increased during that 
        period and are well above the Air Mobility Command standard. In 
        any given month, this means devoting additional manhours to 
        cannibalization of C-5 aircraft. At Dover Air Force Base, for 
        example, an average of 800 to 1,000 additional manhours were 
        required for cannibalization of C-5 aircraft during that 
        period. Cannibalization is often required for aircraft that 
        transit through a base such as Dover Air Force Base, as well as 
        those that are based there.
            (6) High cannibalization rates indicate a significant 
        problem in delivering spare parts in a timely manner and 
        systemic problems within the repair and maintenance process, 
        and also demoralize overworked maintenance crews.
            (7) The C-5 aircraft remains an absolutely critical asset 
        in air mobility and airlifting heavy equipment and personnel to 
        both military contingencies and humanitarian relief efforts 
        around the world.
            (8) Despite increased funding for spare and repair parts 
        and other efforts by the Air Force to mitigate the parts 
        shortage problem, Congress continues to receive reports of 
        significant cannibalization to airworthy C-5 aircraft and parts 
        backlogs.
    (b) Report Required.--Not later than January 1, 2001, and September 
30, 2001, the Secretary of the Air Force shall submit to Congress a 
report on the overall status of the spare and repair parts program of 
the Air Force for the C-5 aircraft.
    (c) Elements of Report.--Each report shall include the following:
            (1) A statement of the funds currently allocated to the 
        acquisition of spare and repair parts for the C-5 aircraft and 
        the adequacy of such funds to meet current and future repair 
        and maintenance requirements for that aircraft.
            (2) A description of current efforts to address shortfalls 
        in the availability of spare and repair parts for the C-5 
        aircraft, including an assessment of potential short-term and 
        long-term effects of such efforts.
            (3) An assessment of the effects of such parts shortfalls 
        on readiness and reliability ratings for the C-5 aircraft.
            (4) A description of rates at which spare and repair parts 
        for one C-5 aircraft are taken from another C-5 aircraft (known 
        as parts cannibalization) and the manhours devoted to part 
        cannibalization of such aircraft.
            (5) An assessment of the effects of parts shortfalls and 
        parts cannibalization with respect to C-5 aircraft on readiness 
        and retention.

Committee on Armed Services of the House of Representatives a report on 
management of the grade structure for reserve-component officers who 
are subject to section 12011 of title 10, United States Code, and on 
the grade structure of enlisted members who are subject to section 
12012 of that title. The Secretary of Defense shall include in the 
report recommendations for a permanent solution for managing the grade 
structures for those officers and enlisted members without requirement 
for frequent statutory adjustments to the limitations in those 
sections.

paragraph(1), the Secretary shall consider the following areas:
            (A) The grade structure authorized for field-grade officers

        support of the reserves is different.

        component under sections 12011 and 12012 of title 10, United 
        States Code.
            (D) The advantages and disadvantage of replacing management 
        by the current grade tables in those sections with management 
        through a system based on the grade authorized for the position 
        occupied by the member.
            (E) The current mix within each reserve component, for each 
        controlled grade, of (i) traditional reservists, (ii) military 
        technicians, (iii) regular component members, and (iv) reserve 
        members on active duty in support of the reserves, and how that 
        mix, for each component, would shift over time under the 
        Secretary's recommended solution as specified in paragraph (1).

SEC. 545. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON THE COURT-MARTIAL CONVICTION OF CAPTAIN 
              CHARLES BUTLER MCVAY, COMMANDER OF THE U.S.S. 
              INDIANAPOLIS, AND ON THE COURAGEOUS SERVICE OF THE CREW 
              OF THAT VESSEL.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Shortly after midnight on the morning of July 30, 1945, 
        during the closing days of World War II, the United States Navy 
        heavy cruiser U.S.S. Indianapolis (CA-35) was torpedoed and 
        sunk by the Japanese submarine I-58 in what became the worst 
        sea disaster in the history of the United States Navy.
            (2) Although approximately 900 of the ship's crew of 1,196 
        survived the actual sinking, only 316 of those courageous 
        sailors survived when rescued after four and a half days adrift 
        in the open sea, the remainder having perishing from battle 
        wounds, drowning, predatory shark attacks, exposure to the 
        elements, and lack of food and potable water.
            (3) Rescue for the remaining 316 sailors came only when 
        they were spotted by chance by Navy Lieutenant Wilbur C. Gwinn 
        while flying a routine naval air patrol mission.
            (4) After the end of World War II, the commanding officer 
        of the U.S.S. Indianapolis, Captain Charles Butler McVay, III, 
        who was rescued with the other survivors, was court-martialed 
        for ``suffering a vessel to be hazarded through negligence'' by 
        failing to zigzag (a naval tactic employed to help evade 
        submarine attacks) and was convicted even though--
                    (A) the choice to zigzag was left to Captain 
                McVay's discretion in his orders; and
                    (B) Motchisura Hashimoto, the commander of the 
                Japanese submarine that sank the U.S.S. Indianapolis, 
                and Glynn R. Donaho, a United States Navy submarine 
                commander highly decorated for his service during World 
                War II, both testified at Captain McVay's court-martial 
                trial that the Japanese submarine could have sunk the 
                U.S.S. Indianapolis whether or not it had been 
                zigzagging, an assertion that has since been reaffirmed 
                in a letter to the Chairman of the Committee on Armed 
                Services of the Senate dated November 24, 1999.
            (5) Although not argued by Captain McVay's defense counsel 
        in the court-martial trial, poor visibility on the night of the 
        sinking (as attested in surviving crew members' handwritten 
        accounts recently discovered at the National Archives) 
        justified Captain McVay's choice not to zigzag as that choice 
        was consistent with the applicable Navy directives in force in 
        1945, which stated that, ``During thick weather and at night, 
        except on very clear nights or during bright moonlight, vessels 
        normally cease zig-zagging.''.
            (6) Before the U.S.S. Indianapolis sailed from Guam on what 
        became her final voyage, Naval officials failed to provide 
        Captain McVay with available support that was critical to the 
        safety of the U.S.S. Indianapolis and her crew by--
                    (A) disapproving a request made by Captain McVay 
                for a destroyer escort for the U.S.S. Indianapolis 
                across the Philippine Sea as being ``not necessary'';
                    (B) not informing Captain McVay that naval 
                intelligence sources, through signal intelligence (the 
                Japanese code having been broken earlier in World War 
                II), had become aware that the Japanese submarine I-58 
                was operating in the area of the U.S.S. Indianapolis' 
                course (as disclosed in evidence presented in a hearing 
                of the Committee on Armed Services of the Senate 
                conducted September 14, 1999); and
                    (C) not informing Captain McVay of the sinking of 
                the destroyer escort U.S.S. Underhill by a Japanese 
                submarine within range of the course of the U.S.S. 
                Indianapolis four days before the U.S.S. Indianapolis 
                departed Guam for the Philippine Islands.
            (7) Captain McVay's court-martial initially was opposed by 
        his immediate command superiors, Fleet Admiral Chester Nimitz 
        (CINCPAC) and Vice Admiral Raymond Spruance of the 5th fleet, 
        for whom the U.S.S. Indianapolis had served as flagship, but, 
        despite their recommendations, Secretary of the Navy James 
        Forrestal ordered the court-martial, largely on the basis of 
        the recommendation of Fleet Admiral Ernest King, Chief of Naval 
        Operations.
            (8) There is no explanation on the public record for the 
        overruling by Secretary Forestal of the recommendations made by 
        Admirals Nimitz and Spruance.
            (9) Captain McVay was the only commander of a United States 
        Navy vessel lost in combat to enemy action during World War II 
        who was subjected to a court-martial trial for such a loss, 
        even though several hundred United States Navy ships were lost 
        in combat to enemy action during World War II.
            (10) The survivors of the U.S.S. Indianapolis 
        overwhelmingly conclude that Captain McVay was not at fault in 
        the loss of the Indianapolis and have dedicated their lives to 
        vindicating their Captain McVay.
            (11) Although promoted to the grade of rear admiral in 
        accordance with then-applicable law upon retirement from the 
        Navy in 1949, Captain McVay never recovered from the stigma of 
        his post-war court-martial and in 1968, tragically, took his 
        own life.
            (12) Charles Butler McVay, III--
                    (A) was a graduate of the United States Naval 
                Academy;
                    (B) was an exemplary career naval officer with an 
                outstanding record (including participation in the 
                amphibious invasions of North Africa, the assault on 
                Iwo Jima, and the assault on Okinawa where the U.S.S. 
                Indianapolis under his command survived a fierce 
                kamikaze attack);
                    (C) was a recipient of the Silver Star earned for 
                courage under fire during the Solomon Islands campaign; 
                and
                    (D) with the crew of the U.S.S. Indianapolis, had 
                so thoroughly demonstrated proficiency in naval warfare 
                that the Navy entrusted him and the crew of the U.S.S. 
                Indianapolis with transporting to the Pacific theater 
                components necessary for assembling the atomic bombs 
                that were exploded over Hiroshima and Nagasaki to end 
                the war with Japan (delivery of such components to the 
                island of Tinian having been accomplished on July 25, 
                1945).
    (b) Sense of Congress Concerning Charles Butler McVay, III.--With 
respect to the sinking of the U.S.S. Indianapolis (CA-35) on July 30, 
1945, and the subsequent court-martial conviction of the ship's 
commanding officer, Captain Charles Butler McVay, III, arising from 
that sinking, it is the sense of Congress, based on the review of 
evidence by the Senate and the House of Representatives--
            (1) that, in light of the remission by the Secretary of the 
        Navy of the sentence of the court-martial and the restoration 
        of Captain McVay to active duty by the Chief of Naval 
        Operations, Fleet Admiral Chester Nimitz, the American people 
        should now recognize Captain McVay's lack of culpability for 
        the tragic loss of the U.S.S. Indianapolis and the lives of the 
        men who died as a result of the sinking of that vessel; and
            (2) that, in light of the fact that certain exculpatory 
        information was not available to the court-martial board and 
        that Captain McVay's conviction resulted therefrom, Captain 
        McVay's military record should now reflect that he is 
        exonerated for the loss of the U.S.S. Indianapolis and so many 
        of her crew.
    (c) Unit Citation for Final Crew of U.S.S. Indianapolis.--The 
Secretary of the Navy should award a Navy Unit Commendation to the 
U.S.S. Indianapolis (CA-35) and her final crew.

SEC. 546. POSTHUMOUS ADVANCEMENT ON RETIRED LIST OF REAR ADMIRAL 
              HUSBAND E. KIMMEL AND MAJOR GENERAL WALTER C. SHORT, 
              SENIOR OFFICERS IN COMMAND IN HAWAII ON DECEMBER 7, 1941.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The late Rear Admiral Husband E. Kimmel, while serving 
        in the temporary grade of admiral, was the Commander in Chief 
        of the United States Fleet and the Commander in Chief, United 
        States Pacific Fleet, at the time of the Japanese attack on 
        Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, on December 7, 1941, with an excellent 
        and unassailable record throughout his career in the United 
        States Navy before that date.
            (2) The late Major General Walter C. Short, while serving 
        in the temporary grade of lieutenant general, was the Commander 
        of the United States Army Hawaiian Department, at the time of 
        the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, on December 7, 
        1941, with an excellent and unassailable record throughout his 
        career in the United States Army before that date.
            (3) Numerous investigations following the attack on Pearl 
        Harbor have documented that Admiral Kimmel and Lieutenant 
        General Short were not provided necessary and critical 
        intelligence that was available, that foretold of war with 
        Japan, that warned of imminent attack, and that would have 
        alerted them to prepare for the attack, including such 
        essential communiques as the Japanese Pearl Harbor Bomb Plot 
        message of September 24, 1941, and the message sent from the 
        Imperial Japanese Foreign Ministry to the Japanese Ambassador 
        in the United States from December 6 to 7, 1941, known as the 
        Fourteen-Part Message.
            (4) On December 16, 1941, Admiral Kimmel and Lieutenant 
        General Short were relieved of their commands and returned to 
        their permanent grades of rear admiral and major general, 
        respectively.
            (5) Admiral William Harrison Standley, who served as a 
        member of the investigating commission known as the Roberts 
        Commission that accused Admiral Kimmel and Lieutenant General 
        Short of ``dereliction of duty'' only six weeks after the 
        attack on Pearl Harbor, later disavowed the report, maintaining 
        that ``these two officers were martyred'' and ``if they had 
        been brought to trial, both would have been cleared of the 
        charge''.
            (6) On October 19, 1944, a Naval Court of Inquiry--
                    (A) exonerated Admiral Kimmel on the grounds that 
                his military decisions and the disposition of his 
                forces at the time of the December 7, 1941, attack on 
                Pearl Harbor were proper ``by virtue of the information 
                that Admiral Kimmel had at hand which indicated neither 
                the probability nor the imminence of an air attack on 
                Pearl Harbor'';
                    (B) criticized the higher command for not sharing 
                with Admiral Kimmel ``during the very critical period 
                of November 26 to December 7, 1941, important 
                information . . . regarding the Japanese situation''; 
                and
                    (C) concluded that the Japanese attack and its 
                outcome was attributable to no serious fault on the 
                part of anyone in the naval service.
            (7) On June 15, 1944, an investigation conducted by Admiral 
        T. C. Hart at the direction of the Secretary of the Navy 
        produced evidence, subsequently confirmed, that essential 
        intelligence concerning Japanese intentions and war plans was 
        available in Washington but was not shared with Admiral Kimmel.
            (8) On October 20, 1944, the Army Pearl Harbor Board of 
        Investigation determined that--
                    (A) Lieutenant General Short had not been kept 
                ``fully advised of the growing tenseness of the 
                Japanese situation which indicated an increasing 
                necessity for better preparation for war'';
                    (B) detailed information and intelligence about 
                Japanese intentions and war plans were available in 
                ``abundance'' but were not shared with the Lieutenant 
                General Short's Hawaii command; and
                    (C) Lieutenant General Short was not provided ``on 
                the evening of December 6th and the early morning of 
                December 7th, the critical information indicating an 
                almost immediate break with Japan, though there was 
                ample time to have accomplished this''.
            (9) The reports by both the Naval Court of Inquiry and the 
        Army Pearl Harbor Board of Investigation were kept secret, and 
        Rear Admiral Kimmel and Major General Short were denied their 
        requests to defend themselves through trial by court-martial.
            (10) The joint committee of Congress that was established 
        to investigate the conduct of Admiral Kimmel and Lieutenant 
        General Short completed, on May 31, 1946, a 1,075-page report 
        which included the conclusions of the committee that the two 
        officers had not been guilty of dereliction of duty.
            (11) On April 27, 1954, the Chief of Naval Personnel, 
        Admiral J. L. Holloway, Jr., recommended that Rear Admiral 
        Kimmel be advanced in rank in accordance with the provisions of 
        the Officer Personnel Act of 1947.
            (12) On November 13, 1991, a majority of the members of the 
        Board for the Correction of Military Records of the Department 
        of the Army found that Major General Short ``was unjustly held 
        responsible for the Pearl Harbor disaster'' and that ``it would 
        be equitable and just'' to advance him to the rank of 
        lieutenant general on the retired list.
            (13) In October 1994, the Chief of Naval Operations, 
        Admiral Carlisle Trost, withdrew his 1988 recommendation 
        against the advancement of Rear Admiral Kimmel and recommended 
        that his case be reopened.
            (14) Although the Dorn Report, a report on the results of a 
        Department of Defense study that was issued on December 15, 
        1995, did not provide support for an advancement of Rear 
        Admiral Kimmel or Major General Short in grade, it did set 
        forth as a conclusion of the study that ``responsibility for 
        the Pearl Harbor disaster should not fall solely on the 
        shoulders of Admiral Kimmel and Lieutenant General Short, it 
        should be broadly shared''.
            (15) The Dorn Report found--
                    (A) that ``Army and Navy officials in Washington 
                were privy to intercepted Japanese diplomatic 
                communications . . . which provided crucial 
                confirmation of the imminence of war'';
                    (B) that ``the evidence of the handling of these 
                messages in Washington reveals some ineptitude, some 
                unwarranted assumptions and misestimations, limited 
                coordination, ambiguous language, and lack of 
                clarification and followup at higher levels''; and
                    (C) that ``together, these characteristics resulted 
                in failure . . . to appreciate fully and to convey to 
                the commanders in Hawaii the sense of focus and urgency 
                that these intercepts should have engendered''.
            (16) On July 21, 1997, Vice Admiral David C. Richardson 
        (United States Navy, retired) responded to the Dorn Report with 
        his own study which confirmed findings of the Naval Court of 
        Inquiry and the Army Pearl Harbor Board of Investigation and 
        established, among other facts, that the war effort in 1941 was 
        undermined by a restrictive intelligence distribution policy, 
        and the degree to which the commanders of the United States 
        forces in Hawaii were not alerted about the impending attack on 
        Hawaii was directly attributable to the withholding of 
        intelligence from Admiral Kimmel and Lieutenant General Short.
            (17) The Officer Personnel Act of 1947, in establishing a 
        promotion system for the Navy and the Army, provided a legal 
        basis for the President to honor any officer of the Armed 
        Forces of the United States who served his country as a senior 
        commander during World War II with a placement of that officer, 
        with the advice and consent of the Senate, on the retired list 
        with the highest grade held while on the active duty list.
            (18) Rear Admiral Kimmel and Major General Short are the 
        only two officers eligible for advancement under the Officer 
        Personnel Act of 1947 as senior World War II commanders who 
        were excluded from the list of retired officers presented for 
        advancement on the retired lists to their highest wartime 
        grades under that Act.
            (19) This singular exclusion of those two officers from 
        advancement on the retired list serves only to perpetuate the 
        myth that the senior commanders in Hawaii were derelict in 
        their duty and responsible for the success of the attack on 
        Pearl Harbor, a distinct and unacceptable expression of 
        dishonor toward two of the finest officers who have served in 
        the Armed Forces of the United States.
            (20) Major General Walter Short died on September 23, 1949, 
        and Rear Admiral Husband Kimmel died on May 14, 1968, without 
        the honor of having been returned to their wartime grades as 
        were their fellow commanders of World War II.
            (21) The Veterans of Foreign Wars, the Pearl Harbor 
        Survivors Association, the Admiral Nimitz Foundation, the Naval 
        Academy Alumni Association, the Retired Officers Association, 
        and the Pearl Harbor Commemorative Committee, and other 
        associations and numerous retired military officers have called 
        for the rehabilitation of the reputations and honor of Admiral 
        Kimmel and Lieutenant General Short through their posthumous 
        advancement on the retired lists to their highest wartime 
        grades.
    (b) Advancement of Rear Admiral Kimmel and Major General Short on 
Retired Lists.--(1) The President is requested--
            (A) to advance the late Rear Admiral Husband E. Kimmel, 
        United States Navy (retired), to the grade of admiral on the 
        retired list of the Navy; and
            (B) to advance the late Major General Walter C. Short, 
        United States Army (retired), to the grade of lieutenant 
        general on the retired list of the Army.
    (2) Any advancement in grade on a retired list requested under 
paragraph (1) shall not increase or change the compensation or benefits 
from the United States to which any person is now or may in the future 
be entitled based upon the military service of the officer advanced.
    (c) Sense of Congress Regarding the Professional Performance of 
Admiral Kimmel and Lieutenant General Short.--It is the sense of 
Congress--
            (1) that the late Rear Admiral Husband E. Kimmel performed 
        his duties as Commander in Chief, United States Pacific Fleet, 
        competently and professionally and, therefore, that the losses 
        incurred by the United States in the attacks on the naval base 
        at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, and other targets on the island of 
        Oahu, Hawaii, on December 7, 1941, were not a result of 
        dereliction in the performance of those duties by then Admiral 
        Kimmel; and
            (2) that the late Major General Walter C. Short performed 
        his duties as Commanding General, Hawaiian Department, 
        competently and professionally and, therefore, that the losses 
        incurred by the United States in the attacks on Hickam Army Air 
        Field and Schofield Barracks, Hawaii, and other targets on the 
        island of Oahu, Hawaii, on December 7, 1941, were not a result 
        of dereliction in the performance of those duties by then 
        Lieutenant General Short.

SEC. 547. COMMENDATION OF CITIZENS OF REMY, FRANCE, FOR WORLD WAR II 
              ACTIONS.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress finds the following:
            (1) On August 2, 1944, a squadron of P-51s from the United 
        States 364th Fighter Group strafed a German munitions train in 
        Remy, France.
            (2) The resulting explosion killed Lieutenant Houston 
        Braly, one of the attacking pilots, and destroyed much of the 
        village of Remy, including seven stained glass windows in the 
        13th century church.
            (3) Despite threats of reprisals from the occupying German 
        authorities, the citizens of Remy recovered Lieutenant Braly's 
        body from the wreckage, buried his body with dignity and honor 
        in the church's cemetery, and decorated the grave site daily 
        with fresh flowers.
            (4) On Armistice Day, 1995, the village of Remy renamed the 
        crossroads near the site of Lieutenant Braly's death in his 
        honor.
            (5) The surviving members of the 364th Fighter Group desire 
        to express their gratitude to the brave citizens of Remy.
            (6) To express their gratitude, the surviving members of 
        the 364th Fighter Group have organized a nonprofit corporation 
        to raise funds, through its project ``Windows for Remy'', to 
        restore the church's stained glass windows.
    (b) Commendation and Recognition.--The Congress commends the 
bravery and honor of the citizens of Remy, France, for their actions 
with respect to the American fighter pilot Lieutenant Houston Braly 
during and after August 1944, and recognizes the efforts of the 
surviving members of the United States 364th Fighter Group to raise 
funds to restore the stained glass windows of Remy's 13th century 
church.

(a) are the actions of William H. Pitsenbarger on April 11, 1966, as an 
Air Force pararescue crew member, serving in the grade of Airman First 
Class at Cam My, Republic of Vietnam, with Detachment 6, 38th Aerospace 
Rescue and Recovery Helicopter Squadron, in support of the combat 
mission known as ``Operations Abilene''.

SEC. 556. COMMEMORATION OF THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE UNIFORM CODE OF 
              MILITARY JUSTICE.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The American military justice system predates the 
        United States itself, having had a continuous existence since 
        the enactment of the first American Articles of War by the 
        Continental Congress in 1775.
            (2) Pursuant to article I of the Constitution, which 
        explicitly empowers Congress ``To make Rules for the Government 
        and Regulation of the land and naval Forces'', Congress enacted 
        the Articles of War and an Act to Govern the Navy, which were 
        revised on several occasions between the ratification of the 
        Constitution and the end of World War II.
            (3) Dissatisfaction with the administration of military 
        justice during World War I and World War II (including 
        dissatisfaction arising from separate systems of justice for 
        the Army and for the Navy and Marine Corps) led both to 
        significant statutory reforms in the Articles of War and to the 
        convening of a committee, under Department of Defense auspices, 
        to draft a single code of military justice applicable uniformly 
        to all of the Armed Forces.
            (4) The committee, chaired by Professor Edmund M. Morgan of 
        Harvard Law School, made recommendations that formed the basis 
        of bills introduced in Congress to establish such a uniform 
        code of military justice.
            (5) After lengthy hearings and debate on the congressional 
        proposals, the Uniform Code of Military Justice was enacted 
        into law on May 5, 1950, when President Harry S Truman signed 
        the legislation.
            (6) President Truman then issued a revised Manual for 
        Courts-Martial implementing the new code, and the code became 
        effective on May 31, 1951.
            (7) One of the greatest innovations of the Uniform Code of 
        Military Justice (now codified as chapter 47 of title 10, 
        United States Code) was the establishment of a civilian court 
        of appeals within the military justice system. That court, the 
        United States Court of Military Appeals (now the United States 
        Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces), held its first session 
        on July 25, 1951.
            (8) Congress enacted major revisions of the Uniform Code of 
        Military Justice in 1968 and 1983 and, in addition, has amended 
        the code from time to time over the years as practice under the 
        code indicated a need for updating the substance or procedure 
        of the law of military justice.
            (9) The evolution of the system of military justice under 
        the Uniform Code of Military Justice may be traced in the 
        decisions of the Courts of Criminal Appeals of each of the 
        Armed Forces and the decisions of the United States Court of 
        Appeals for the Armed Forces. These courts have produced a 
        unique body of jurisprudence upon which commanders and judge 
        advocates rely in the performance of their duties.
            (10) It is altogether fitting that the 50th anniversary of 
        the Uniform Code of Military Justice be duly commemorated.
    (b) Commemoration.--The Congress--
            (1) requests the President to issue a proclamation 
        commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Uniform Code of 
        Military Justice; and
            (2) calls upon the Department of Defense, the Armed Forces, 
        and the United States Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces and 
        interested organizations and members of the bar and the public 
        to commemorate the occasion of that anniversary with ceremonies 
        and activities befitting its importance.

who are 62 years of age or older in order to reduce (and eventually 
eliminate) the different levels of annuities under that program for 
surviving spouses who are under age 62 and those who are 62 years of 
age and older.
    (b) Survivor Benefit Plan.--For purposes of this section, the term 
``Survivor Benefit Plan program'' means the program of annuities for 
survivors of members of the uniformed services provided under

10, United States Code, to any person by reason of the amendment made 
by subsection (a) for any period before that date.

in benefits under the Department of Defense retiree health care 
programs for medicare-eligible beneficiaries that has been made since 
the last such valuation and such change in benefits increases or 
decreases the present value of amounts payable from the Fund, the 
Secretary of Defense shall determine an amortization methodology and 
schedule for the amortization of the cumulative unfunded liability (or 
actuarial gain to the Fund) created by such change and any previous 
such changes so that the present value of the sum of the amortization 
payments (or reductions in payments that would otherwise be made) 
equals the cumulative increase (or decrease) in the present value of 
such amounts.

determines that, based upon changes in actuarial assumptions since the 
last valuation, there has been an actuarial gain or loss to the Fund, 
the Secretary shall determine an amortization methodology and schedule 
for the amortization of the cumulative gain or loss to the Fund created 
by such change in assumptions and any previous such changes in 
assumptions through an increase or decrease in the payments that would 
otherwise be made to the Fund.

determines that, based upon the Fund's actuarial experience (other than 
resulting from changes in benefits or actuarial assumptions) since the 
last valuation, there has been an actuarial gain or loss to the Fund, 
the Secretary shall determine an amortization methodology and schedule 
for the amortization of the cumulative gain or loss to the Fund created 
by such actuarial experience and any previous actuarial experience

SEC. 802. MULTIYEAR SERVICES CONTRACTS.

    (a) In General.--(1) Chapter 137 of title 10, United States Code, 
is amended by inserting after section 2306b the following:
``Sec. 2306c. Multiyear contracts: acquisition of services
    ``(a) Authority.--Subject to subsections (d) and (e), the head of 
an agency may enter into contracts for periods of not more than five 
years for services described in subsection (b), and for items of supply 
related to such services, for which funds would otherwise be available 
for obligation only within the fiscal year for which appropriated 
whenever the head of the agency finds that--
            ``(1) there will be a continuing requirement for the 
        services consonant with current plans for the proposed contract 
        period;
            ``(2) the furnishing of such services will require a 
        substantial initial investment in plant or equipment, or the 
        incurrence of substantial contingent liabilities for the 
        assembly, training, or transportation of a specialized work 
        force; and
            ``(3) the use of such a contract will promote the best 
        interests of the United States by encouraging effective 
        competition and promoting economies in operation.
    ``(b) Covered Services.--The authority under subsection (a) applies 
to the following types of services:
            ``(1) Operation, maintenance, and support of facilities and 
        installations.
            ``(2) Maintenance or modification of aircraft, ships, 
        vehicles, and other highly complex military equipment.
            ``(3) Specialized training necessitating high quality 
        instructor skills (for example, pilot and air crew members; 
        foreign language training).
            ``(4) Base services (for example, ground maintenance; in-
        plane refueling; bus transportation; refuse collection and 
        disposal).
    ``(c) Applicable Principles.--In entering into multiyear contracts 
for services under the authority of this section, the head of the 
agency shall be guided by the following principles:
            ``(1) The portion of the cost of any plant or equipment 
        amortized as a cost of contract performance should not exceed 
        the ratio between the period of contract performance and the 
        anticipated useful commercial life of such plant or equipment. 
        Useful commercial life, for this purpose, means the commercial 
        utility of the facilities rather than the physical life 
        thereof, with due consideration given to such factors as 
        location of facilities, specialized nature thereof, and 
        obsolescence.
            ``(2) Consideration shall be given to the desirability of 
        obtaining an option to renew the contract for a reasonable 
        period not to exceed three years, at prices not to include 
        charges for plant, equipment and other nonrecurring costs, 
        already amortized.
            ``(3) Consideration shall be given to the desirability of 
        reserving in the agency the right, upon payment of the 
        unamortized portion of the cost of the plant or equipment, to 
        take title thereto under appropriate circumstances.
    ``(d) Restrictions Applicable Generally.--(1) The head of an agency 
may not initiate under this section a contract for services that 
includes an unfunded contingent liability in excess of $20,000,000 
unless the committees of Congress named in paragraph (5) are notified 
of the proposed contract at least 30 days in advance of the award of 
the proposed contract.
    ``(2) The head of an agency may not initiate a multiyear contract 
for services under this section if the value of the multiyear contract 
would exceed $500,000,000 unless authority for the contract is 
specifically provided by law.
    ``(3) The head of an agency may not terminate a multiyear 
procurement contract for services until 10 days after the date on which 
notice of the proposed termination is provided to the committees of 
Congress named in paragraph (5).
    ``(4) Before any contract described in subsection (a) that contains 
a clause setting forth a cancellation ceiling in excess of $100,000,000 
may be awarded, the head of the agency concerned shall give written 
notification of the proposed contract and of the proposed cancellation 
ceiling for that contract to the committees of Congress named in 
paragraph (5), and such contract may not then be awarded until the end 
of a period of 30 days beginning on the date of such notification.
    ``(5) The committees of Congress referred to in paragraphs (1), 
(3), and (4) are as follows:
            ``(A) The Committee on Armed Services and the Committee on 
        Appropriations of the Senate.
            ``(B) The Committee on Armed Services and the Committee on 
        Appropriations of the House of Representatives.
    ``(e) Cancellation or Termination for Insufficient Funding After 
First Year.--In the event that funds are not made available for the 
continuation of a multiyear contract for services into a subsequent 
fiscal year, the contract shall be canceled or terminated, and the 
costs of cancellation or termination may be paid from--
            ``(1) appropriations originally available for the 
        performance of the contract concerned;
            ``(2) appropriations currently available for procurement of 
        the type of services concerned, and not otherwise obligated; or
            ``(3) funds appropriated for those payments.
    ``(f) Multiyear Contract Defined.--For the purposes of this 
section, a multiyear contract is a contract for the purchase of 
services for more than one, but not more than five, program years. Such 
a contract may provide that performance under the contract during the 
second and subsequent years of the contract is contingent upon the 
appropriation of funds and (if it does so provide) may provide for a 
cancellation payment to be made to the contractor if such 
appropriations are not made.''.
    (2) The table of sections at the beginning of such chapter is 
amended by inserting after the item relating to section 2306b the 
following:

``2306c. Multiyear contracts: acquisition of services.''.

States Code, is amended by striking ``or services''.

(as added by subsection (a)), shall apply with respect to contracts for 
which solicitations of offers are issued after the date of the

              CARRIER.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Over the last three decades Congress has authorized and 
        appropriated funds for a total of 10 Nimitz class aircraft 
        carriers.
            (2) The last vessel in the Nimitz class of aircraft 
        carriers, CVN-77, is currently under construction and will be 
        delivered in 2008.
            (3) The first nine vessels in this class bear the following 
        proud names:
                    (A) U.S.S. Nimitz (CVN-68).
                    (B) U.S.S. Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN-69).
                    (C) U.S.S. Carl Vinson (CVN-70).
                    (D) U.S.S. Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71).
                    (E) U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72).
                    (F) U.S.S. George Washington (CVN-73).
                    (G) U.S.S. John C. Stennis (CVN-74).
                    (H) U.S.S. Harry S. Truman (CVN-75).
                    (I) U.S.S. Ronald Reagan (CVN-76).
            (4) It is appropriate for Congress to recommend to the 
        President, as Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces, an 
        appropriate name for the final vessel in the Nimitz class of 
        aircraft carriers.
            (5) Over the last 25 years the vessels in the Nimitz class 
        of aircraft carriers have served as one of the principal means 
        of United States diplomacy and as one of the principal means 
        for the defense of the United States and its allies around the 
        world.
            (6) The name bestowed upon the aircraft carrier CVN-77 
        should embody the American spirit and provide a lasting symbol 
        of the American commitment to freedom.
            (7) The name ``Lexington'' has been a symbol of freedom 
        from the first battle of the American Revolution.
            (8) The two aircraft carriers previously named U.S.S. 
        Lexington (the CV-2 and the CV-16) served the Nation for 64 
        years, served in World War II, and earned a total of 13 battle 
        stars.
            (9) One of those honored vessels, the CV-2, was lost at the 
        Battle of the Coral Sea on May 8, 1942.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that the CVN-77 
aircraft carrier should be named the ``U.S.S. Lexington''--
            (1) in order to honor the men and women who served in the 
        Armed Forces of the United States during World War II and the 
        incalculable number of United States citizens on the home front 
        during that war who mobilized in the name of freedom; and
            (2) as a special tribute to the 16,000,000 veterans of the 
        Armed Forces who served on land, sea, and air during World War 
        II (of whom fewer than 6,000,000 remain alive today) and a 
        lasting symbol of their commitment to freedom as they pass on 
        having proudly taken their place in history.

        inserting ``(i) security'', and by striking ``(B) the 
        maintenance'' and inserting ``(ii) the maintenance'';

        subparagraphs (A) through (C), respectively;
            (3) by inserting ``(1)'' after ``(g)'';
            (4) by striking ``Practitioners who dispense'' and 
        inserting ``Except as provided in paragraph (2), practitioners 
        who dispense''; and
            (5) by adding at the end the following paragraph:
    ``(2)(A) Subject to subparagraphs (D) and (J), the requirements of 
paragraph (1) are waived in the case of the dispensing (including the 
prescribing), by a practitioner, of narcotic drugs in schedule III, IV, 
or V or combinations of such drugs if the practitioner meets the 
conditions specified in subparagraph (B) and the narcotic drugs or 
combinations of such drugs meet the conditions specified in 
subparagraph (C).
    ``(B) For purposes of subparagraph (A), the conditions specified in 
this subparagraph with respect to a practitioner are that, before the 
initial dispensing of narcotic drugs in schedule III, IV, or V or 
combinations of such drugs to patients for maintenance or 
detoxification treatment, the practitioner submit to the Secretary a 
notification of the intent of the practitioner to begin dispensing the 
drugs or combinations for such purpose, and that the notification 
contain the following certifications by the practitioner:
            ``(i) The practitioner is a qualifying physician (as 
        defined in subparagraph (G)).
            ``(ii) With respect to patients to whom the practitioner 
        will provide such drugs or combinations of drugs, the 
        practitioner has the capacity to refer the patients for 
        appropriate counseling and other appropriate ancillary 
        services.
            ``(iii) In any case in which the practitioner is not in a 
        group practice, the total number of such patients of the 
        practitioner at any one time will not exceed the applicable 
        number. For purposes of this clause, the applicable number is 
        30, except that the Secretary may by regulation change such 
        total number.
            ``(iv) In any case in which the practitioner is in a group 
        practice, the total number of such patients of the group 
        practice at any one time will not exceed the applicable number. 
        For purposes of this clause, the applicable number is 30, 
        except that the Secretary may by regulation change such total 
        number, and the Secretary for such purposes may by regulation 
        establish different categories on the basis of the number of 
        practitioners in a group practice and establish for the various 
        categories different numerical limitations on the number of 
        such patients that the group practice may have.
    ``(C) For purposes of subparagraph (A), the conditions specified in 
this subparagraph with respect to narcotic drugs in schedule III, IV, 
or V or combinations of such drugs are as follows:
            ``(i) The drugs or combinations of drugs have, under the 
        Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act or section 351 of the 
        Public Health Service Act, been approved for use in maintenance 
        or detoxification treatment.
            ``(ii) The drugs or combinations of drugs have not been the 
        subject of an adverse determination. For purposes of this 
        clause, an adverse determination is a determination published 
        in the Federal Register and made by the Secretary, after 
        consultation with the Attorney General, that the use of the 
        drugs or combinations of drugs for maintenance or 
        detoxification treatment requires additional standards 
        respecting the qualifications of practitioners to provide such 
        treatment, or requires standards respecting the quantities of 
        the drugs that may be provided for unsupervised use.
    ``(D)(i) A waiver under subparagraph (A) with respect to a 
practitioner is not in effect unless (in addition to conditions under 
subparagraphs (B) and (C)) the following conditions are met:
            ``(I) The notification under subparagraph (B) is in writing 
        and states the name of the practitioner.
            ``(II) The notification identifies the registration issued 
        for the practitioner pursuant to subsection (f).
            ``(III) If the practitioner is a member of a group 
        practice, the notification states the names of the other 
        practitioners in the practice and identifies the registrations 
        issued for the other practitioners pursuant to subsection (f).
    ``(ii) Upon receiving a notification under subparagraph (B), the 
Attorney General shall assign the practitioner involved an 
identification number under this paragraph for inclusion with the 
registration issued for the practitioner pursuant to subsection (f). 
The identification number so assigned shall be appropriate to preserve 
the confidentiality of patients for whom the practitioner has dispensed 
narcotic drugs under a waiver under subparagraph (A).
    ``(iii) Not later than 45 days after the date on which the 
Secretary receives a notification under subparagraph (B), the Secretary 
shall make a determination of whether the practitioner involved meets 
all requirements for a waiver under subparagraph (B). If the Secretary 
fails to make such determination by the end of the such 45-day period, 
the Attorney General shall assign the physician an identification 
number described in clause (ii) at the end of such period.
    ``(E)(i) If a practitioner is not registered under paragraph (1) 
and, in violation of the conditions specified in subparagraphs (B) 
through (D), dispenses narcotic drugs in schedule III, IV, or V or 
combinations of such drugs for maintenance treatment or detoxification 
treatment, the Attorney General may, for purposes of section 304(a)(4), 
consider the practitioner to have committed an act that renders the 
registration of the practitioner pursuant to subsection (f) to be 
inconsistent with the public interest.
    ``(ii)(I) Upon the expiration of 45 days from the date on which the 
Secretary receives a notification under subparagraph (B), a 
practitioner who in good faith submits a notification under 
subparagraph (B) and reasonably believes that the conditions specified 
in subparagraphs (B) through (D) have been met shall, in dispensing 
narcotic drugs in schedule III, IV, or V or combinations of such drugs 
for maintenance treatment or detoxification treatment, be considered to 
have a waiver under subparagraph (A) until notified otherwise by the 
Secretary, except that such a practitioner may commence to prescribe or 
dispense such narcotic drugs for such purposes prior to the expiration 
of such 45-day period if it facilitates the treatment of an individual 
patient and both the Secretary and the Attorney General are notified by 
the practitioner of the intent to commence prescribing or dispensing 
such narcotic drugs.
    ``(II) For purposes of subclause (I), the publication in the 
Federal Register of an adverse determination by the Secretary pursuant 
to subparagraph (C)(ii) shall (with respect to the narcotic drug or 
combination involved) be considered to be a notification provided by 
the Secretary to practitioners, effective upon the expiration of the 
30-day period beginning on the date on which the adverse determination 
is so published.
    ``(F)(i) With respect to the dispensing of narcotic drugs in 
schedule III, IV, or V or combinations of such drugs to patients for 
maintenance or detoxification treatment, a practitioner may, in his or 
her discretion, dispense such drugs or combinations for such treatment 
under a registration under paragraph (1) or a waiver under subparagraph 
(A) (subject to meeting the applicable conditions).
    ``(ii) This paragraph may not be construed as having any legal 
effect on the conditions for obtaining a registration under paragraph 
(1), including with respect to the number of patients who may be served 
under such a registration.
    ``(G) For purposes of this paragraph:
            ``(i) The term `group practice' has the meaning given such 
        term in section 1877(h)(4) of the Social Security Act.
            ``(ii) The term `qualifying physician' means a physician 
        who is licensed under State law and who meets one or more of

                investigator in one or more clinical trials leading to

                discrete 3-year periods as the Secretary considers

SEC. 1236. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING THE USE OF CHILDREN AS SOLDIERS.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) In the year 2000, approximately 300,000 individuals 
        under the age of 18 are participating in armed conflict in more 
        than 30 countries worldwide.
            (2) Many children participating in armed conflict in 
        various countries around the world are forcibly conscripted 
        through kidnapping or coercion, while others join military 
        units due to economic necessity, to avenge the loss of a family 
        member, or for their own personal safety.
            (3) Many military commanders frequently force child 
        soldiers to commit gruesome acts of ritual killings or torture 
        against their enemies, including against other children.
            (4) Many military commanders separate children from their 
        families in order to foster dependence on military units and 
        leaders, leaving children vulnerable to manipulation, deep 
        traumatization, and in need of psychological counseling and 
        rehabilitation.
            (5) Child soldiers are exposed to hazardous conditions and 
        risk physical injuries, sexually transmitted diseases, 
        malnutrition, deformed backs and shoulders from carrying 
        overweight loads, and respiratory and skin infections.
            (6) Many young female soldiers face the additional 
        psychological and physical horrors of rape and sexual abuse, 
        being enslaved for sexual purposes by militia commanders, and 
        forced to endure severe social stigma should they return home.
            (7) Children in northern Uganda continue to be kidnapped by 
        the Lords Resistance Army (LRA), which is supported and funded 
        by the Government of Sudan and which has committed and 
        continues to commit gross human rights violations in Uganda.
            (8) Children in Sri Lanka have been forcibly recruited by 
        the opposition Tamil Tigers movement and forced to kill or be 
        killed in the armed conflict in that country.
            (9) An estimated 7,000 child soldiers have been involved in 
        the conflict in Sierra Leone, some as young as age 10, with 
        many being forced to commit extrajudicial executions, torture, 
        rape, and amputations for the rebel Revolutionary United Front.
            (10) On January 21, 2000, in Geneva, a United Nations 
        Working Group, including representatives from more than 80 
        governments including the United States, reached consensus on 
        an international agreement, referred to in this case as an 
        ``optional protocol'', on the use of child soldiers.
            (11) This optional protocol, upon entry into force, will--
                    (A) raise the international minimum age for 
                conscription and will require governments to take all 
                feasible measures to ensure that members of their armed 
                forces under age 18 do not participate directly in 
                combat;
                    (B) prohibit the recruitment and use in armed 
                conflict of persons under the age of 18 by non-
                governmental armed forces;
                    (C) encourage governments to raise the minimum 
                legal age for voluntary recruits above the current 
                standard of 15, and
                    (D) commit governments to support the 
                demobilization and rehabilitation of child soldiers 
                and, when possible, to allocate resources to this 
                purpose.
            (12) On October 29, 1998, United Nations Secretary General 
        Kofi Annan set minimum age requirements for United Nations 
        peacekeeping personnel that are made available by member 
        nations of the United Nations.
            (13) The United Nations Under-Secretary General for Peace-
        keeping, Bernard Miyet, announced in the Fourth Committee of 
        the General Assembly that contributing governments of member 
        nations were asked not to send civilian police and military 
        observers under the age of 25 and that troops in national 
        contingents should preferably be at least 21 years of age but 
        in no case should they be younger than 18 years of age.
            (14) On August 25, 1999, the United Nations Security 
        Council unanimously passed Resolution 1261 (1999) condemning 
        the use of children in armed conflicts.
            (15) In addressing the Security Council on August 26, 1999, 
        the Special Representative of the Secretary General for 
        Children and Armed Conflict, Olara Otunnu, urged the adoption 
        of a global three-pronged approach to combatting the use of 
        children in armed conflict that would--
                    (A) first, raise the age limit for recruitment and 
                participation in armed conflict from the present age of 
                15 to the age of 18;
                    (B) second, increase international pressure on 
                armed groups which currently abuse children; and
                    (C) third, address the political, social, and 
                economic factors that create an environment in which 
                children are induced by appeal of ideology or by socio-
                economic collapse to become child soldiers.
            (16) The United States delegation to the United Nations 
        working group relating to child soldiers, which included 
        representatives from the Department of Defense, supported the 
        Geneva agreement on the optional protocol.
            (17) On May 25, 2000, the United Nations General Assembly 
        unanimously adopted the optional protocol on the use of child 
        soldiers.
            (18) The optional protocol was opened for signature on June 
        5, 2000.
            (19) The President signed the optional protocol on behalf 
        of the United States on July 5, 2000.
    (b) Congressional Statements on Child Soldiers.--Congress joins the 
international community in--
            (1) condemning the use of children as soldiers by 
        governmental and nongovernmental armed forces worldwide; and
            (2) welcoming the optional protocol on the use of child 
        soldiers adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on May 
        25, 2000, as a critical first step in ending the use of 
        children as soldiers.
    (c) Sense of Congress on Further Actions.--It is the sense of 
Congress that--
            (1) it is essential that the President consult closely with 
        the Senate with the objective of building support for 
        ratification by the United States of the optional protocol and 
        that the Senate move forward as expeditiously as possible;
            (2) the United States should provide assistance, through a 
        new fund to be established by law, for the rehabilitation and 
        reintegration into their respective civilian societies of child 
        soldiers of other nations; and
            (3) the President, acting through the Secretaries of State 
        and Defense and other appropriate officials, should undertake 
        all possible efforts to persuade and encourage other 
        governments to ratify and endorse the optional protocol on the 
        use of child soldiers.

SEC. 1237. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING UNDERSEA RESCUE AND RECOVERY.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The tragic loss in August 2000 of the Russian submarine 
        Kursk resulted in the death of all 118 members of the 
        submarine's crew.
            (2) The Kursk is the third vessel of the submarine fleet of 
        the Russian Federation and its predecessor, the Union of Soviet 
        Socialist Republics, to be lost in an accident at sea with 
        considerable loss of life of the officers and crews of those 
        submarines.
            (3) The United States submarines USS Thresher and USS 
        Scorpion, with their officers and crews, were also lost at sea 
        in tragic accidents, in 1963 and 1968, respectively.
            (4) The United States, the Russian Federation, and other 
        maritime nations possess extensive capabilities consisting of 
        naval and research vessels and other assets that could be used 
        to respond to accidents or incidents involving submarines or 
        other undersea vessels.
            (5) The United States Navy has rescue agreements with the 
        navies of 14 countries from Europe, the Western Pacific, and 
        the Americas, but not including the Russian Federation, and 
        exercises regularly to train crews and practice submarine 
        rescue procedures with the navies of participating nations.
    (b) Expression of Sympathy.--Congress expresses its sympathy and 
the sympathy of the American people to the people of the Russian 
Federation and joins the Russian people in mourning the death of the 
crewmen of the submarine Kursk.
    (c) Sense of Congress Concerning International Cooperation.--It is 
the sense of Congress that when undersea accidents or incidents 
involving submarines or other undersea vessels occur, it is in the best 
interests of all nations to work together to respond promptly to the 
accident or incident, rescue and recover the crew of the vessel, 
minimize the loss of life, and prevent damage to the oceans.
    (d) Establishment of Plan for Responding to Undersea Accidents or 
Incidents.--Congress urges the President of the United States and the 
President of the Russian Federation, in coordination with the leaders 
of other maritime nations that possess undersea naval and research 
vessels and undersea rescue capabilities, to cooperate in establishing 
a plan for--
            (1) responding to accidents or incidents involving 
        submarines or other undersea vessels; and
            (2) rescue and recovery of the crew of the vessels involved 
        in such accidents or incidents.

                    (A) The portion of trade in goods and services with

                dedicates to military systems or systems of a dual

                and other technology transfers, especially those

                of weapons of mass destruction or their delivery 
                systems, or that undermine international agreements or

                intentions, if any, of the Government of the People's 
                Republic of China regarding the pursuit of military 
                competition with, and leverage over, or cooperation 
                with, the United States and the Asian allies of the 
                United States.
                    (E) The military actions taken by the Government of

            (3) The transfers provide the Department of the Air Force 
        and the Department of the Army with complete land management 
        control of these public domain lands to allow for effective 
        land management, minimize safety concerns, and ensure 
        meaningful training.
            (4) The Department of the Interior concurs with the land 
        transfers at Melrose Range and Yakima Training Center.

SEC. 3602. FINDINGS; SENSE OF CONGRESS.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress finds the following:
            (1) Since World War II, Federal nuclear activities have 
        been explicitly recognized under Federal law as activities that 
        are ultra-hazardous. Nuclear weapons production and testing 
        have involved unique dangers, including potential catastrophic 
        nuclear accidents that private insurance carriers have not 
        covered and recurring exposures to radioactive substances and 
        beryllium that, even in small amounts, can cause medical harm.
            (2) Since the inception of the nuclear weapons program and 
        for several decades afterwards, a large number of nuclear 
        weapons workers at sites of the Department of Energy and at 
        sites of vendors who supplied the Cold War effort were put at 
        risk without their knowledge and consent for reasons that, 
        documents reveal, were driven by fears of adverse publicity, 
        liability, and employee demands for hazardous duty pay.
            (3) Many previously secret records have documented 
        unmonitored exposures to radiation and beryllium and continuing 
        problems at these sites across the Nation, at which the 
        Department of Energy and its predecessor agencies have been, 
        since World War II, self-regulating with respect to nuclear 
        safety and occupational safety and health. No other hazardous 
        Federal activity has been permitted to be carried out under 
        such sweeping powers of self-regulation.
            (4) The policy of the Department of Energy has been to 
        litigate occupational illness claims, which has deterred 
        workers from filing workers' compensation claims and has 
        imposed major financial burdens for such employees who have 
        sought compensation. Contractors of the Department have been 
        held harmless and the employees have been denied workers' 
        compensation coverage for occupational disease.
            (5) Over the past 20 years, more than two dozen scientific 
        findings have emerged that indicate that certain of such 
        employees are experiencing increased risks of dying from cancer 
        and non-malignant diseases. Several of these studies have also 
        established a correlation between excess diseases and exposure 
        to radiation and beryllium.
            (6) While linking exposure to occupational hazards with the 
        development of occupational disease is sometimes difficult, 
        scientific evidence supports the conclusion that occupational 
        exposure to dust particles or vapor of beryllium can cause 
        beryllium sensitivity and chronic beryllium disease. 
        Furthermore, studies indicate than 98 percent of radiation-
        induced cancers within the nuclear weapons complex have 
        occurred at dose levels below existing maximum safe thresholds.
            (7) Existing information indicates that State workers' 
        compensation programs do not provide a uniform means of 
        ensuring adequate compensation for the types of occupational 
        illnesses and diseases that relate to the employees at those 
        sites.
            (8) To ensure fairness and equity, the civilian men and 
        women who, over the past 50 years, have performed duties 
        uniquely related to the nuclear weapons production and testing 
        programs of the Department of Energy and its predecessor 
        agencies should have efficient, uniform, and adequate 
        compensation for beryllium-related health conditions and 
        radiation-related health conditions.
            (9) On April 12, 2000, the Secretary of Energy announced 
        that the Administration intended to seek compensation for 
        individuals with a broad range of work-related illnesses 
        throughout the Department of Energy's nuclear weapons complex.
            (10) However, as of October 2, 2000, the Administration has 
        failed to provide Congress with the necessary legislative and 
        budget proposals to enact the promised compensation program.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) a program should be established to provide compensation 
        to covered employees;
            (2) a fund for payment of such compensation should be 
        established on the books of the Treasury;
            (3) payments from that fund should be made only after--
                    (A) the identification of employees of the 
                Department of Energy (including its predecessor 
                agencies), and of contractors of the Department, who 
                may be members of the group of covered employees;
                    (B) the establishment of a process to receive and 
                administer claims for compensation for disability or 
                death of covered employees;
                    (C) the submittal by the President of a legislative 
                proposal for compensation of such employees that 
                includes the estimated annual budget resources for that 
                compensation; and
                    (D) consideration by the Congress of the 
                legislative proposal submitted by the President; and
            (4) payments from that fund should commence not later than 
        fiscal year 2002.

of section 3621(14)(C), the members of a class of employees at a 
Department of Energy facility may be treated as members of the Special 
Exposure Cohort for purposes of the compensation program if the 
President, upon recommendation of the Advisory Board on Radiation and 
Worker Health, determines that--
            (1) it is not feasible to estimate with sufficient accuracy 
        the radiation dose that the class received; and
            (2) there is a reasonable likelihood that such radiation 
        dose may have endangered the health of members of the class.
    (c) Access to Information.--The Secretary of Energy shall provide, 
in accordance with law, the Secretary of Health and Human Services and 
the members and staff of the Advisory Board on Radiation and Worker 
Health access to relevant information on worker exposures, including

Energy Act of 1954 (42 U.S.C. 2014(y)).

SEC. 3627. SEPARATE TREATMENT OF CHRONIC SILICOSIS.

    (a) Sense of Congress.--The Congress finds that employees who 
worked in Department of Energy test sites and later contracted chronic 
silicosis should also be considered for inclusion in the compensation 
program. Recognizing that chronic silicosis resulting from exposure to 
silica is not a condition unique to the nuclear weapons industry, it is 
not the intent of Congress with this title to establish a precedent on 
the question of chronic silicosis as a compensable occupational 
disease. Consequently, it is the sense of Congress that a further 
determination by the President is appropriate before these workers are 
included in the compensation program.
    (b) Certification by President.--A covered employee with chronic 
silicosis shall be treated as a covered employee (as defined in section 
3621(1)) for the purposes of the compensation program required by 
section 3611 unless the President submits to Congress not later than 
180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act the certification 
of the President that there is insufficient basis to include such 
employees. The President shall submit with the certification any 
recommendations about the compensation program with respect to covered 
employees with chronic silicosis as the President considers 
appropriate.
    (c) Exposure to Silica in the Performance of Duty.--A covered 
employee shall, in the absence of substantial evidence to the contrary, 
be determined to have been exposed to silica in the performance of duty 
for the purposes of the compensation program if, and only if, the 
employee was present for a number of work days aggregating at least 250 
work days during the mining of tunnels at a Department of Energy 
facility located in Nevada or Alaska for tests or experiments related 
to an atomic weapon.
    (d) Covered Employee With Chronic Silicosis.--For purposes of this 
title, the term ``covered employee with chronic silicosis'' means a 
Department of Energy employee, or a Department of Energy contractor 
employee, with chronic silicosis who was exposed to silica in the 
performance of duty as determined under subsection (c).
    (e) Chronic Silicosis.--For purposes of this title, the term 
``chronic silicosis'' means a non-malignant lung disease if--
            (1) the initial occupational exposure to silica dust 
        preceded the onset of silicosis by at least 10 years; and
            (2) a written diagnosis of silicosis is made by a medical 
        doctor and is accompanied by--
                    (A) a chest radiograph, interpreted by an 
                individual certified by the National Institute for 
                Occupational Safety and Health as a B reader, 
                classifying the existence of pneumoconioses of category 
                1/1 or higher;
                    (B) results from a computer assisted tomograph or 
                other imaging technique that are consistent with 
                silicosis; or
                    (C) lung biopsy findings consistent with silicosis.
