In carrying out the study, the Secretary shall-- (A) compare the Federal Government death benefits for survivors of deceased members of the Armed Forces with commercial and other private sector death benefits plans for segments of United States society outside the Armed Forces, and also with the benefits available under Public Law 107-37 (115 Stat. 219) (commonly known as the ``Public Safety Officer Benefits Bill''); (B) assess the personnel policy effects that would result from a revision of the death gratuity benefit to provide a stratified schedule of entitlement amounts that places a premium on deaths resulting from participation in combat or from acts of terrorism; (C) assess the adequacy of the current system of Survivor Benefit Plan annuities and Dependency and Indemnity Compensation and the anticipated effects of an elimination of the offset of Survivor Benefit Plan annuities by Dependency and Indemnity Compensation; (D) examine the commercial insurability of members of the Armed Forces in high risk military occupational specialties; and (E) examine the extent to which private trusts and foundations engage in fundraising or otherwise provide financial benefits for survivors of deceased members of the Armed Forces. (3) Not later than March 1, 2004, the Secretary shall submit a report on the results of the study under paragraph (2) to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives. The report shall include the following: (A) The assessments, analyses, and conclusions resulting from the study. (B) Proposed legislation to address the deficiencies in the system of Federal Government death benefits for survivors of deceased members of the Armed Forces that are identified in the course of the study. (C) An estimate of the costs of the system of death benefits provided for in the proposed legislation. (4) The Comptroller General shall conduct a study to identify the death benefits that are payable under Federal, State, and local laws for employees of the Federal Government, State governments, and local governments.

INTEGRATION OF DEFENSE INTELLIGENCE, SURVEILLANCE, AND RECONNAISSANCE CAPABILITIES (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings: (1) As part of transformation efforts within the Department of Defense, each of the Armed Forces is developing intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance capabilities that best support future war fighting as envisioned by the leadership of the military department concerned. (2) Concurrently, intelligence agencies of the Department of Defense outside the military departments are developing transformation roadmaps to best support the future decisionmaking and war fighting needs of their principal customers, but are not always closely coordinating those efforts with the intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance development efforts of the military departments. (3) A senior official of each military department has been designated as the integrator of intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance for each of the Armed Forces in such military department, but there is not currently a well-defined forum where the integrators of intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance capabilities for each of the Armed Forces can routinely interact with each other and with senior representatives of Department of Defense intelligence agencies, as well as with other members of the intelligence community, to ensure unity of effort and to preclude unnecessary duplication of effort. (4) The current funding structure of a National Foreign Intelligence Program (NFIP), Joint Military Intelligence Program (JMIP), and Tactical Intelligence and Related Activities Program (TIARA) might not be the best approach for supporting the development of an intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance structure that is integrated to meet the national security requirements of the United States in the 21st century. (5) The position of Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence was established in 2002 by Public Law 107-314 in order to facilitate resolution of the challenges to achieving an integrated intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance structure in the Department of Defense to meet such 21st century requirements. (b) Goal.--It shall be a goal of the Department of Defense to fully coordinate and integrate the intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance capabilities and developmental activities of the military departments, intelligence agencies of the Department of Defense, and relevant combatant commands as those departments, agencies, and commands transform their intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance systems to meet current and future needs. (c) Requirement.--(1) The Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence shall establish an Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance Integration Council to provide a permanent forum for the discussion and arbitration of issues relating to the integration of intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance capabilities. (2) The Council shall be composed of the senior intelligence officers of the Armed Forces and the United States Special Operations Command, the Director of Operations of the Joint Staff, and the directors of the intelligence agencies of the Department of Defense. (3) The Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence shall invite the participation of the Director of Central Intelligence or his representative in the proceedings of the Council. (d) ISR Integration Roadmap.--The Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence, in consultation with the Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance Integration Council and the Director of Central Intelligence, shall develop a comprehensive Defense Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance Integration Roadmap to guide the development and integration of the Department of Defense intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance capabilities for 15 years. (e) Report.--(1) Not later than September 30, 2004, the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence shall submit to the committees of Congress specified in paragraph (2) a report on the Defense Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance Integration Roadmap developed under subsection (d). The report shall include the following matters: (A) The fundamental goals established in the roadmap. (B) An overview of the intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance integration activities of the military departments and the intelligence agencies of the Department of Defense. (C) An investment strategy for achieving-- (i) an integration of Department of Defense intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance capabilities that ensures sustainment of needed tactical and operational efforts; and (ii) efficient investment in new intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance capabilities. (D) A discussion of how intelligence gathered and analyzed by the Department of Defense can enhance the role of the Department of Defense in fulfilling its homeland security responsibilities. (E) A discussion of how counterintelligence activities of the Armed Forces and the Department of Defense intelligence agencies can be better integrated. (F) Recommendations on how annual funding authorizations and appropriations can be optimally structured to best support the development of a fully integrated Department of Defense intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance architecture. (2) The committees of Congress referred to in paragraph (1) are as follows: (A) The Committee on Armed Services, the Committee on Appropriations, and the Select Committee on Intelligence of the Senate. (B) The Committee on Armed Services, the Committee on Appropriations, and the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence of the House of Representatives. SEC. 925.

SENSE OF SENATE ON RECONSIDERATION OF DECISION TO TERMINATE BORDER SEAPORT INSPECTION DUTIES OF NATIONAL GUARD UNDER NATIONAL GUARD DRUG INTERDICTION AND COUNTER-DRUG MISSION. (a) Findings.--The Senate makes the following findings: (1) The counter-drug inspection mission of the National Guard is highly important to preventing the infiltration of illegal narcotics across United States borders.
