                                 A BILL


 
  To authorize the appropriation of the $10,000,000,000 reserve fund 
within the national defense budget function for activities to prosecute 
                         the war on terrorism.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Defense Budget Restoration Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) On September 11, 2001, the United States was the victim 
        of ruthless and unprovoked terrorist attacks that killed 
        thousands of innocent citizens.
            (2) In the wake of those attacks the United States has 
        undertaken a global war on terrorism.
            (3) The war on terrorism has required the use of the 
        military capabilities of the United States on a major scale in 
        multiple theaters of operation simultaneously.
            (4) The war on terrorism will not be resolved quickly and 
        is expected to continue for a period of years.
            (5) The nature of the war has already required increased 
        operational tempo for United States military forces, has 
        increased expenditure of resources, and has strained the 
        ability of United States forces to meet the demands placed on 
        them.
            (6) Several of the uniformed service chiefs and commanders-
        in-chief of the regional combatant commands have testified 
        before Congress that additional manpower is needed in order to 
        be able to perform all missions associated with the execution 
        of the United States national military strategy.
            (7) The war on terrorism requires the acquisition and use 
        of more weapon systems, support equipment, facilities, and 
        other resources to sustain ongoing operations and to 
        successfully complete future operations.
            (8) Prosecution of the war on terrorism has caused the 
        President to request a $48,000,000,000 funding increase for the 
        Department of Defense for fiscal year 2003.
            (9) Included in this increase is a $10,000,000,000 reserve 
        fund that is unallocated to any specific programs.
            (10) Testimony before Congress clearly establishes that the 
        Armed Forces are facing significant shortfalls in manpower, 
        weapons systems, equipment, facilities, and other resources 
        that must be remedied now.
            (11) Section 201 of House Concurrent Resolution 353 of the 
        One Hundred Seventh Congress, the Concurrent Resolution on the 
        Budget for Fiscal Year 2003, as passed by the House of 
        Representatives, on March 20, 2002, specifically provides that 
        the House Committees on Armed Services and Appropriations may 
        report a bill or joint resolution providing up to 
        $10,000,000,000 in additional funding for the Department of 
        Defense to prosecute the war on terrorism.
            (12) That section further provides that if such a bill or 
        joint resolution is reported, then the chairman of the 
        Committee on the Budget of the House of Representatives shall 
        increase the funding for those committees by up to 
        $10,000,000,000.
