SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE; FINDINGS.

    (a) Short Title.--This Act may be cited as the ``John Warner 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2007''.
    (b) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Senator John Warner of Virginia was elected a member of 
        the United States Senate on November 7, 1978, for a full term 
        beginning on January 3, 1979. He was subsequently appointed by 
        the Governor of Virginia to fill a vacancy on January 2, 1979, 
        and has served continuously since that date. He was appointed a 
        member of the Committee on Armed Services in January 1979, and 
        has served continuously on the Committee since that date, a 
        period of nearly 28 years. Senator Warner's service on the 
        Committee represents nearly half of its existence since it was 
        established after World War II.
            (2) Senator Warner came to the Senate and the Committee on 
        Armed Services after a distinguished record of service to the 
        Nation, including combat service in the Armed Forces and high 
        civilian office.
            (3) Senator Warner enlisted in the United States Navy upon 
        graduation from high school in 1945, and served until the 
        summer of 1946, when he was discharged as a Petty Officer 3rd 
        Class. He then attended Washington and Lee University on the 
        G.I. Bill. He graduated in 1949 and entered the University of 
        Virginia Law School.
            (4) Upon the outbreak of the Korean War in 1950, Senator 
        Warner volunteered for active duty, interrupting his education 
        to accept a commission in the United States Marine Corps. He 
        served in combat in Korea as a ground officer in the First 
        Marine Air Wing. Following his active service, he remained in 
        the Marine Corps Reserve for several years, attaining the rank 
        of captain.
            (5) Senator Warner resumed his legal education upon 
        returning from the Korean War and graduated from the University 
        of Virginia Law School in 1953. He was selected by the late 
        Chief Judge E. Barrett Prettyman of the United States Court of 
        Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit as his law clerk. 
        After his service to Judge Prettyman, Senator Warner became an 
        Assistant United States Attorney in the District of Columbia, 
        and later entered private law practice.
            (6) In 1969, the Senate gave its advice and consent to the 
        appointment of Senator Warner as Under Secretary of the Navy. 
        He served in this position until 1972, when he was confirmed 
        and appointed as the 61st Secretary of the Navy since the 
        office was established in 1798. As Secretary, Senator Warner 
        was the principal United States negotiator and signatory of the 
        Incidents at Sea Executive Agreement with the Soviet Union, 
        which was signed in 1972 and remains in effect today. It has 
        served as the model for similar agreements between states 
        covering the operation of naval ships and aircraft in 
        international sea lanes throughout the world.
            (7) Senator Warner left the Department of the Navy in 1974. 
        His next public service was as Director of the American 
        Revolution Bicentennial Commission. In this capacity, he 
        coordinated the celebration of the Nation's founding, directing 
        the Federal role in all 50 States and in over 20 foreign 
        nations.
            (8) Senator Warner has served as chairman of the Committee 
        on Armed Services of the United States Senate from 1999 to 
        2001, and again since January 2003. He served as ranking 
        minority member of the committee from 1987 to 1993, and again 
        from 2001 to 2003. Senator Warner concludes his service as 
        chairman at the end of the 109th Congress, but will remain a 
        member of the committee.
            (9) This Act is the twenty-eighth annual authorization act 
        for the Department of Defense for which Senator Warner has 
        taken a major responsibility as a member of the Committee on 
        Armed Services of the United States Senate, and the fourteenth 
        for which he has exercised a leadership role as chairman or 
        ranking minority member of the committee.
            (10) Senator Warner, as seaman, Marine officer, Under 
        Secretary and Secretary of the Navy, and member, ranking 
        minority member, and chairman of the Committee on Armed 
        Services, has made unique and lasting contributions to the 
        national security of the United States.
            (11) It is altogether fitting and proper that his Act, the 
        last annual authorization Act for the national defense that 
        Senator Warner manages in and for the United States Senate as 
        chairman of the Committee on Armed Services, be named in his 
        honor, as provided in subsection (a).

SEC. 148. MULTI-SPECTRAL IMAGING CAPABILITIES.

    (a) Findings.--The Senate makes the following findings:
            (1) The budget of the President for fiscal year 2007, as 
        submitted to Congress under section 1105(a) of title 31, United 
        States Code, and the current Future-Years Defense Program 
        adopts an Air Force plan to retire the remaining fleet of U-2 
        aircraft by 2011.
            (2) This retirement would eliminate the multi-spectral 
        capability provided by the electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) 
        Senior Year Electro-optical Reconnaissance System (SYERS-2) 
        high-altitude imaging system.
            (3) The system referred to in paragraph (2) provides high-
        resolution, long-range, day-and-night image intelligence.
            (4) The infrared capabilities of the system referred to in 
        paragraph (2) can defeat enemy efforts to use camouflage or 
        concealment, as well as provide images through poor visibility 
        and smoke.
            (5) Although the Air Force has previously recognized the 
        military value of Senior Year Electro-optical Reconnaissance 
        System sensors, the Air Force has no plans to migrate this 
        capability to any platform remaining in the fleet.
            (6) The Air Force could integrate such capabilities onto 
        the Global Hawk platform to retain this capability for 
        combatant commanders.
            (7) The Nation risks a loss of an important intelligence 
        gathering capability if this capability is not transferred to 
        another platform.
    (b) Sense of Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that the Air 
Force should investigate ways to retain the multi-spectral imaging 
capabilities provided by the Senior Year Electro-optical Reconnaissance 
System high-altitude imaging system after the retirement of the U-2 
aircraft fleet.
    (c) Report Requirement.--The Secretary of the Air Force shall 
submit to the congressional defense committees, at the same time the 
budget of the President for fiscal year 2008 is submitted to Congress 
under section 1105(a) of title 31, United States Code, a plan for 
migrating the capabilities provided by the Senior Year Electro-optical 
Reconnaissance System high-altitude imaging system from the U-2 
aircraft to the Global Hawk platform before the retirement of the U-2 
aircraft fleet in 2011.

SEC. 149. MINUTEMAN III INTERCONTINENTAL BALLISTIC MISSILES.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) In the Joint Explanatory Statement of the Committee of 
        Conference on H.R. 1815, the National Defense Authorization Act 
        for Fiscal Year 2006, the conferees state that the policy of 
        the United States ``is to deploy a force of 500 ICBMs''. The 
        conferees further note ``that unanticipated strategic 
        developments may compel the United States to make changes to 
        this force structure in the future.''.
            (2) The Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR) conducted under 
        section 118 of title 10, United States Code, in 2005 finds that 
        maintaining a robust nuclear deterrent ``remains a keystone of 
        United States national power''. However, notwithstanding that 
        finding and without providing any specific justification for 
        the recommendation, the Quadrennial Defense Review recommends 
        reducing the number of deployed Minuteman III Intercontinental 
        Ballistic Missiles (ICBMs) from 500 to 450 beginning in fiscal 
        year 2007. The Quadrennial Defense Review also fails to 
        identify what unanticipated strategic developments compelled 
        the United States to reduce the Intercontinental Ballistic 
        Missile force structure.
            (3) The commander of the Strategic Command, General James 
        Cartwright, testified before the Committee on Armed Services of 
        the Senate that the reduction in deployment of Minuteman III 
        Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles is required so that the 50 
        missiles withdrawn from the deployed force could be used for 
        test assets and spares to extend the life of the Minuteman III 
        Intercontinental Ballistic Missile well into the future. If 
        spares are not modernized, the Air Force may not have 
        sufficient replacement missiles to sustain the force size.
    (b) Modernization of Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles 
Required.--The Air Force shall modernize Minuteman III Intercontinental 
Ballistic Missiles in the United States inventory as required to 
maintain a sufficient supply of launch test assets and spares to 
sustain the deployed force of such missiles through 2030.
    (c) Limitation on Termination of Modernization Program Pending 
Report.--No funds authorized to be appropriated for the Department of 
Defense may be obligated or expended for the termination of any 
Minuteman III ICBM modernization program, or for the withdrawal of any 
Minuteman III Intercontinental Ballistic Missile from the active force, 
until 30 days after the Secretary of Defense submits to the 
congressional defense committees a report setting forth the following:
            (1) A detailed strategic justification for the proposal to 
        reduce the Minuteman III Intercontinental Ballistic Missile 
        force from 500 to 450 missiles, including an analysis of the 
        effects of the reduction on the ability of the United States to 
        assure allies and dissuade potential competitors.
            (2) A detailed analysis of the strategic ramifications of 
        continuing to equip a portion of the Minuteman III 
        Intercontinental Ballistic Missile force with multiple 
        independent warheads rather than single warheads as recommended 
        by past reviews of the United States nuclear posture.
            (3) An assessment of the test assets and spares required to 
        maintain a force of 500 deployed Minuteman III Intercontinental 
        Ballistic Missiles through 2030.
            (4) An assessment of the test assets and spares required to 
        maintain a force of 450 deployed Minuteman III Intercontinental 
        Ballistic Missiles through 2030.
            (5) An inventory of currently available Minuteman III 
        Intercontinental Ballistic Missile test assets and spares.
            (6) A plan to sustain and complete the modernization of all 
        deployed and spare Minuteman III Intercontinental Ballistic 
        Missiles, a test plan, and an analysis of the funding required 
        to carry out modernization of all deployed and spare Minuteman 
        III Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles.
            (7) An assessment of whether halting upgrades to the 
        Minuteman III Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles withdrawn 
        from the deployed force would compromise the ability of those 
        missiles to serve as test assets.
            (8) A description of the plan of the Department of Defense 
        for extending the life of the Minuteman III Intercontinental 
        Ballistic Missile force beyond fiscal year 2030.
    (d) Remote Visual Assessment.--
            (1) Additional amount for research, development, test, and 
        evaluation, air force.--The amount authorized to be 
        appropriated by section 201(3) for research, development, test, 
        and evaluation for the Air Force is hereby increased by 
        $5,000,000.
            (2) Availability of amount.--Of the amount authorized to be 
        appropriated by section 201(3) for research, development, test, 
        and evaluation for the Air Force, as increased by paragraph 
        (1), $5,000,000 may be available for ICBM Security 
        Modernization (PE #0604851) for Remote Visual Assessment for 
        security for silos for intercontinental ballistic missiles 
        (ICBMs).
            (3) Offset.--The amount authorized to be appropriated by 
        section 103(2) for procurement of missiles for the Air Force is 
        hereby reduced by $5,000,000, with the amount of the reduction 
        to be allocated to amounts available for the Evolved Expendable 
        Launch Vehicle.
    (e) ICBM Modernization Program Defined.--In this section, the term 
``ICBM Modernization program'' means each of the following for the 
Minuteman III Intercontinental Ballistic Missile:
            (1) The Guidance Replacement Program (GRP).
            (2) The Propulsion Replacement Program (PRP).
            (3) The Propulsion System Rocket Engine (PSRE) program.
            (4) The Safety Enhanced Reentry Vehicle (SERV) program.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) In response to the threat posed by ballistic missiles, 
        President George W. Bush in December 2002 directed the 
        Secretary of Defense to proceed with the fielding of an initial 
        set of missile defense capabilities in 2004 and 2005.
            (2) According to assessments by the intelligence community 
        of the United States, North Korea tested in 2005 a new solid 
        propellant short-range ballistic missile and is likely 
        developing intermediate-range and intercontinental ballistic 
        missile capabilities that could someday reach as far as the 
        United States with a nuclear payload.
            (3) According to assessments by the intelligence community 
        of the United States, Iran continued in 2005 to test its medium 
        range ballistic missile, and the danger that Iran will acquire 
        a nuclear weapon and integrate it with a ballistic missile Iran 
        already possesses is a reason for immediate concern.
    (b) Policy.--It is the policy of the United States that the 
Department of Defense accord a priority within the missile defense 
program to the development, testing, fielding, and improvement of 
effective near-term missile defense capabilities, including the ground-
based midcourse defense system, the Aegis ballistic missile defense 
system, the Patriot PAC-3 system, the Terminal High Altitude Area 
Defense system, and the sensors necessary to support such systems.

        depth, water temperature, nature of the military munitions 
        present, and relative proximity to onshore populations. In 
        conducting such research, the Secretary shall select at least 
        two representative sites each in the areas of the Atlantic 
        coast, the Pacific coast (including Alaska), and the Hawaiian 
        Islands.
            (4) Authority to make grants and enter into cooperative 
        agreements.--In conducting research under this subsection, the 
        Secretary may make grants to, and enter into cooperative 
        agreements with, qualified research entities.
    (d) Monitoring.--If the historical review required by subsection 
(a) or the research required by subsection (c) indicates that 
contamination is being released into the ocean waters from disposed 
military munitions at a particular site or that the site poses a 
significant public health or safety risk, the Secretary shall institute 
appropriate monitoring mechanisms at that site and report to the 
congressional defense committees on any additional measures that may be 
necessary to address the release or risk, as applicable.

SEC. 352. NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES STUDY ON HUMAN EXPOSURE TO 
              CONTAMINATED DRINKING WATER AT CAMP LEJEUNE, NORTH 
              CAROLINA.

    (a) Study Required.--
            (1) In general.--Not later than 60 days after the date of 
        the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Navy shall enter 
        into an agreement with the National Academy of Sciences to 
        conduct a comprehensive review and evaluation of the available 
        scientific and medical evidence regarding associations between 
        pre-natal, child, and adult exposure to drinking water 
        contaminated with trichloroethylene (TCE) and 
        tetrachloroethylene (PCE) at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, as 
        well as other pre-natal, child, and adult exposures to levels 
        of trichloroethylene and tetrachloroethylene similar to those

            (2) Elements.--In conducting the review and evaluation, the 
        Academy shall review and summarize the scientific and medical 
        evidence and assess the strength of that evidence in 
        establishing a link or association between exposure to 
        trichloroethylene and tetrachloroethylene and each birth defect 
        or disease suspected to be associated with such exposure. For 
        each birth defect or disease reviewed, the Academy shall 
        determine, to the extent practicable with available scientific 
        and medical data, whether--
                    (A) a statistical association with such contaminant 
                exposures exists; and
                    (B) there exist plausible biological mechanisms or 
                other evidence of a causal relationship between 
                contaminant exposures and the birth defect or disease.

SEC. 353. REPORT ON AERIAL TRAINING AIRSPACE REQUIREMENTS OF THE 
              DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Access to and use of available and unfettered aerial 
        training airspace is critical for preserving aircrew 
        warfighting proficiency and the ability to test, evaluate, and 
        improve capabilities of both personnel and equipment within the 
        most realistic training environments possible.
            (2) The growth of civilian and commercial aviation traffic 
        and the rapid expansion of commercial and general air traffic 
        lanes across the continental United States has left few 
        remaining areas of the country available for realistic air 
        combat training or expansion of existing training areas.
            (3) Many Military Operating Areas (MOAs) originally 
        established in what was once open and uncongested airspace are 
        now encroached upon by a heavy volume of commercial and general 
        air traffic, making training more difficult and potentially 
        hazardous.
            (4) Some aerial training areas in the upper great plains, 
        western States, and Gulf coast remain largely free from 
        encroachment and available for increased use, expansion, and 
        preservation for the future.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that the 
Department of Defense should--
            (1) establish a policy to identify military aerial training 
        areas that are projected to remain viable and free from 
        encroachment well into the 21st century;
            (2) determine aerial training airspace requirements to meet 
        future training and airspace requirements of current and next 
        generation military aircraft; and
            (3) undertake all necessary actions in a timely manner, 
        including coordination with the Federal Aviation 
        Administration, to preserve and, if necessary, expand those 
        areas of airspace to meet present and future training 
        requirements.
    (c) Report.--Not later than 120 days after the date of the 
enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall submit to the 
congressional defense committees a report setting forth a proposed plan 
to preserve and, if necessary, expand available aerial training 
airspace to meet the projected needs of the Department of Defense for 
such airspace through 2025.

SEC. 354. REPORT ON ACTIONS TO REDUCE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE CONSUMPTION 
              OF PETROLEUM-BASED FUEL.

    (a) Report Required.--Not later than one year after the date of the 
enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall submit to the 
Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
Representatives a report on the actions taken, and to be taken, by the 
Department of Defense to reduce the consumption by the Department of 
petroleum-based fuel.
    (b) Elements.--The report shall include the status of 
implementation by the Department of the requirements of the following:
            (1) The Energy Policy Act of 2005 (Public Law 109-58).
            (2) The Energy Policy Act of 1992. (Public Law 102-486)
            (3) Executive Order 13123.
            (4) Executive Order 13149.
            (5) Any other law, regulation, or directive relating to the 
        consumption by the Department of petroleum-based fuel.

SEC. 355. REPORTS ON WITHDRAWAL OR DIVERSION OF EQUIPMENT FROM RESERVE 
              UNITS FOR SUPPORT OF RESERVE UNITS BEING MOBILIZED AND 
              OTHER UNITS.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The National Guard continues to provide invaluable 
        resources to meet national security, homeland defense, and 
        civil emergency mission requirements.
            (2) Current military operations, transnational threats, and 
        domestic emergencies will increase the use of the National 
        Guard for both military support to civilian authorities and to 
        execute the military strategy of the United States.
            (3) To meet the demand for certain types of equipment for 
        continuing United States military operations, the Army has 
        required Army National Guard Units to leave behind many items 
        for use by follow-on forces.
            (4) The Governors of every State and 2 Territories 
        expressed concern in February 2006 that units returning from 
        deployment overseas without adequate equipment would have 
        trouble carrying out their homeland security and domestic 
        disaster duties.
            (5) The Department of Defense estimates that it has 
        directed the Army National Guard to leave overseas more than 
        75,000 items valued at approximately $1,760,000,000 to support 
        Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom.
            (6) Department of Defense Directive 1225.6 requires a 
        replacement and tracking plan be developed within 90 days for 
        equipment of the reserve components of the Armed Forces that is 
        transferred to the active components of the Armed Forces.
            (7) In October 2005, the Government Accountability Office 
        found that the Department of Defense can only account for about 
        45 percent of such equipment and has not developed a plan to 
        replace such equipment.
            (8) The Government Accountability Office also found that 
        without a completed and implemented plan to replace all 
        National Guard equipment left overseas, Army National Guard 
        units will likely face growing equipment shortages and 
        challenges in regaining readiness for future missions.
    (b) Reports on Withdrawal or Diversion of Equipment From Reserve 
Units for Support of Reserve Units Being Mobilized and Other Units.--
            (1) In general.--Chapter 1007 of title 10, United States 
        Code, is amended by inserting after section 10208 the following 
        new section:

    ``(a) Report Required on Withdrawal or Diversion of Equipment.--Not 
later than 90 days after withdrawing or diverting equipment from a unit 
of the Reserve to a unit of the Reserve being ordered to active duty 
under section 12301, 12302, or 12304 of this title, or to a unit or 
units of a regular component of the armed forces, for purposes of the 
discharge of the mission of such unit or units, the Secretary concerned 
shall submit to the Secretary of Defense a status report on the 
withdrawal or diversion of equipment.
    ``(b) Elements.--Each status report under subsection (a) on 
equipment withdrawn or diverted shall include the following:
            ``(1) A plan to recapitalize or replace such equipment 
        within the unit from which withdrawn or diverted.
            ``(2) If such equipment is to remain in a theater of 
        operations while the unit from which withdrawn or diverted 
        returns to the United States, a plan to provide such unit with 
        recapitalized or replacement equipment appropriate to ensure 
        the continuation of the readiness training of such unit.
            ``(3) A signed memorandum of understanding between the 
        active or reserve component to which withdrawn or diverted and 
        the reserve component from which withdrawn or diverted that 
        specifies--
                    ``(A) how such equipment will be tracked; and
                    ``(B) when such equipment will be returned to the 
                component from which withdrawn or diverted.''.
            (2) Clerical amendment.--The table of sections at the

        pursuant to section 1412 of the Department of Defense 
        Authorization Act, 1986 (50 U.S.C. 1521).
            (2) Purpose.--The purpose of a clause referred to in 
        paragraph (1) is to provide the contractor for a chemical 
        demilitarization facility an incentive to accelerate the safe 
        elimination of the United States chemical weapons stockpile and 
        to reduce the total cost of the Chemical Demilitarization 
        Program by providing incentive payments for the early 
        completion of destruction operations and the closure of such 
        facility.
    (b) Incentives Clauses.--
            (1) In general.--An incentives clause under this section 
        shall permit the contractor for the chemical demilitarization 
        facility concerned the opportunity to earn incentive payments 
        for the completion of destruction operations and facility 
        closure activities within target incentive ranges specified in 
        such clause.
            (2) Limitation on incentive payments.--The maximum 
        incentive payment under an incentives clause with respect to a 
        chemical demilitarization facility may not exceed amounts as 
        follows:

                target incentive range specified in such clause, 
                $55,000,000.
            (3) Target ranges.--An incentives clause in a contract 
        under this section shall specify the target incentive ranges of 
        costs for completion of destruction operations and facility 
        closure activities, respectively, as jointly agreed upon by the 
        contracting officer and the contractor concerned. An incentives 
        clause shall require a proportionate reduction in the maximum 
        incentive payment amounts in the event that the contractor 
        exceeds an agreed-upon target cost if such excess costs are the 
        responsibility of the contractor.
            (4) Calculation of incentive payments.--The amount of the 
        incentive payment earned by a contractor for a chemical 
        demilitarization facility under an incentives clause under this 
        section shall be based upon a determination by the Secretary on 
        how early in the target incentive range specified in such 
        clause destruction operations or facility closure activities, 
        as the case may be, are completed.
            (5) Consistency with existing obligations.--The provisions 
        of any incentives clause under this section shall be consistent 
        with the obligation of the Secretary of Defense under section 
        1412(c)(1)(A) of the Department of Defense Authorization Act, 
        1986 to provide for maximum protection for the environment, the 
        general public, and the personnel who are involved in the 
        destruction of the lethal chemical agents and munitions.
            (6) Additional terms and conditions.--In negotiating the 
        inclusion of an incentives clause in a contract under this 
        section, the Secretary may include in such clause such 
        additional terms and conditions as the Secretary considers 
        appropriate.
    (c) Additional Limitation on Payments.--
            (1) Payment conditional on performance.--No payment may be 
        made under an incentives clause under this section unless the 
        Secretary determines that the contractor concerned has 
        satisfactorily performed its duties under such incentives 
        clause.
            (2) Payment contingent on appropriations.--An incentives 
        clause under this section shall specify that the obligation of 
        the Government to make payment under such incentives clause is 
        subject to the availability of appropriations for that purpose. 
        Amounts appropriated for Chemical Agents and Munitions 
        Destruction, Defense, shall be available for payments under 
        incentives clauses under this section.

            (1) The Purple Heart is the oldest military decoration in 
        the world in present use.
            (2) The Purple Heart was established on August 7, 1782, 
        during the Revolutionary War, when General George Washington 
        issued an order establishing the Honorary Badge of Distinction, 
        otherwise known as the Badge of Military Merit.
            (3) The award of the Purple Heart ceased with the end of 
        the Revolutionary War, but was revived in 1932, the 200th 
        anniversary of George Washington's birth, out of respect for 
        his memory and military achievements by War Department General 
        Orders No. 3, dated February 22, 1932.
            (4) The criteria for the award was originally announced in 
        War Department Circular dated February 22, 1932, and revised by 
        Presidential Executive Order 9277, dated December 3, 1942; 
        Executive Order 10409, dated February 12, 1952; Executive Order 
        11016, dated April 25, 1962; and Executive Order 12464, dated 
        February 23, 1984.
            (5) The Purple Heart is awarded in the name of the 
        President of the United States as Commander in Chief to members 
        of the Armed Forces who qualify under criteria set forth by 
        Presidential Executive Order.
    (b) Determination.--As part of the review and report required in 
subsection (d), the President shall make a determination on expanding 
eligibility to all deceased servicemembers held as a prisoner of war 
after December 7, 1941, and who meet the criteria establishing 
eligibility for the prisoner-of-war medal under section 1128 of title 
10, but who do not meet the criteria establishing eligibility for the 
Purple Heart.
    (c) Requirements.--In making the determination described in 
subsection (b), the President shall take into consideration--
            (1) the brutal treatment endured by thousands of POWs 
        incarcerated by enemy forces;
            (2) that many service members died due to starvation, 
        abuse, the deliberate withholding of medical treatment for 
        injury or disease, or other causes which do not currently meet 
        the criteria for award of the Purple Heart;
            (3) the views of veteran organizations, including the 
        Military Order of the Purple Heart;
            (4) the importance and gravity that has been assigned to 
        determining all available facts prior to a decision to award 
        the Purple Heart; and
            (5) the views of the Secretary of Defense and the Joint 
        Chiefs of Staff.
    (d) Report.--Not later than March 1, 2007, the President shall 
provide the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and House of 
Representatives a report on the advisability of modifying the criteria 
for the award of the Purple Heart to authorize the award of the Purple 
Heart to military members who die in captivity under unknown 
circumstances or as a result of conditions and treatment which 
currently do not qualify the decedent for award of the Purple Heart; 
and for military members who survive captivity as prisoners of war, but 
die thereafter as a result of disease or disability incurred during 
captivity.

              PROGRAMS.

    (a) In General.--Not later than 120 days after the date of the 
enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall modify the 
regulations of the Department of Defense on the use of fixed-price type 
contracts in development programs.
    (b) Elements.--As modified under subsection (a), the regulations 
described in that subsection shall--
            (1) establish a preference for the use of fixed-price type 
        contracts in development programs to the maximum extent 
        practicable in light of the level of program risk; and
            (2) require the use of fixed-price type contracts in each 
        contract for system development and demonstration, or

                    (A) the program is so complex and technically 
                challenging that it would not be practicable to reduce 
                program risk to a level that would permit the use of a 
                fixed-price type contract; and
                    (B) the complexity and technical challenge of the 
                program is not the result of a failure to meet the 
                certification requirements established in section 2366a 
                of title 10, United States Code.
            (2) Submittal to congressional defense committees.--The

        United States Code, after such determination is made.
            (3) Delegation of authority.--The regulations shall provide 
        that the authority to make a determination under paragraph (1) 
        may not be delegated below the level of the Under Secretary of

            (2) System development and demonstration or operational 
        system development.--The modification required by subsection 
        (b)(2) in the regulations shall apply with respect to programs

                                program performance measures, and 
                                verify the reliability of contractor 
                                cost and performance data, with respect

respect to the procurement of any item to which such Act would apply 
without regard to this section.
    ``(i) Construction With Respect to Later Enacted Laws.--This

requirement or domestic content requirement that is set forth in a law 
enacted after the enactment of this section solely on the basis of the 
later enactment.

                systems, including their role in addressing increases 
                in cost, the evolution of interoperability

                critical capabilities.
                    (B) The unique engineering and integration skills 
                of lead systems integrators.

implementation instructions (including definitions), for the Department 
of Defense on the appropriate use of award and incentive fees in

    (b) Elements.--The guidance under subsection (a) shall--
            (1) ensure that all new contracts using award fees link 
        such fees to acquisition outcomes (which shall be defined in 
        terms of program cost, schedule, and performance);
            (2) provide guidance on the circumstances in which 
        contractor performance may be judged to be ``excellent'' or 
        ``superior'' and the percentage of the available award fee 
        which contractors should be paid for such performance;
            (3) establish standards for determining the percentage of 
        the available award fee, if any, which contractors should be 
        paid for performance that is judged to be ``acceptable'', 
        ``average'', ``expected'', ``good'', or ``satisfactory'';
            (4) ensure that no award fee may be paid for contractor 
        performance that is judged to be below-satisfactory performance 
        or performance that does not meet the basic requirements of the 
        contract;
            (5) provide specific direction on the circumstances, if 
        any, in which it may be appropriate to roll over award fees 
        that are not earned in one award fee period to a subsequent 
        award fee period or periods;
            (6) ensure that the Department of Defense--
                    (A) collects relevant data on award and incentive 
                fees paid to contractors; and
                    (B) has mechanisms in place to evaluate such data 
                on a regular basis;
            (7) include performance measures to evaluate the 
        effectiveness of award and incentive fees as a tool for 
        improving contractor performance and achieving desired program 
        outcomes; and
            (8) provide mechanisms for sharing proven incentive 
        strategies for the acquisition of different types of products 
        and services among contracting and program management 
        officials.
    (c) Assessment of Independent Evaluation Mechanisms.--
            (1) In general.--The Secretary of Defense shall select a 
        federally-funded research and development center to assess 
        various mechanisms that could be used to ensure an independent 
        evaluation of contractor performance for the purpose of making 
        determinations applicable to the judging and payment of award 
        fees.
            (2) Considerations.--The assessment conducted pursuant to 
        paragraph (1) shall include consideration of the advantages and 
        disadvantages of a system in which award fees are--
                    (A) held in a separate fund or funds of the 
                Department of Defense; and
                    (B) allocated to a specific program only upon a 
                determination by an independent board, charged with 
                comparing contractor performance across programs, that 
                such fees have been earned by the contractor for such 
                program.
            (3) Report.--The Secretary shall submit to the 
        congressional defense committees a report on the assessment 
        conducted pursuant to paragraph (1) not later than one year

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Access to and use of space is critical for preserving 
        peace and protecting the national security, commercial, and 
        civil interests of the United States.
            (2) Key priorities for the national security space 
        activities of the United States include improving the capacity 
        to support military operations worldwide and responding to 
        strategic military threats.
            (3) To the maximum extent possible, space capabilities 
        should be integrated into the strategy, doctrine, operations, 
        and contingency plans of the Armed Forces of the United States.
            (4) The commanders of the combatant commands should have 
        access to responsive space capabilities that provide prompt, 
        focused support in their theater of operations, which 
        capabilities should compliment other national and Department of 
        Defense space assets while providing direct and flexible 
        support to the warfighter on the battlefield.
            (5) The United States Space Transportation Policy of 
        January 6, 2005, calls for the demonstration, before 2010, of 
        an initial capability for operationally responsive access to 
        and use of space to support the national security requirements 
        of the United States.
    (b) Policy.--It is the policy of the United States--
            (1) to demonstrate, acquire, and deploy an effective 
        capability for operationally responsive space to support the 
        warfighter from space; and
            (2) that the capability described in paragraph (1) shall 
        consist of--
                    (A) responsive satellite payloads;
                    (B) inexpensive space launch vehicles and range 
                procedures that facilitate the timely launch of 
                satellites;
                    (C) common technical standards for satellite 
                busses; and
                    (D) a configuration of operations and command and

SEC. 1024. OPERATION BAHAMAS, TURKS & CAICOS.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) In 1982 the United States Government created Operation 
        Bahamas, Turks & Caicos (OPBAT) to counter the smuggling of 
        cocaine into the United States.
            (2) According to the Drug Enforcement Agency, an estimated 
        80 percent of the cocaine entering the United States in the 
        1980s came through the Bahamas, whereas, according to the 
        Office of National Drug Control Policy, only an estimated 10 
        percent comes through the Bahamas today.
            (3) According to the Drug Enforcement Agency, more than 
        80,000 kilograms of cocaine and nearly 700,000 pounds of 
        marijuana have been seized in Operation Bahamas, Turks & Caicos 
        since 1986, with a combined street value of approximately two 
        trillion dollars.
            (4) The Army has provided military airlift to law 
        enforcement officials under Operation Bahamas, Turks & Caicos 
        to create an effective, reliable, and immediate response 
        capability for drug interdiction. This support is largely 
        responsible for the decline in cocaine shipments to the United 
        States through the Bahamas.
            (5) The Bahamas is an island nation composed of 
        approximately 700 islands and keys, which makes aviation assets 
        the best and most efficient method of transporting law 
        enforcement agents and interdicting smugglers.
            (6) It is in the interests of the United States to maintain 
        the results of the successful Operation Bahamas, Turks & Caicos 
        program and prevent drug smugglers from rebuilding their 
        operations through the Bahamas.
    (b) Report on United States Government Support for OPBAT.--

        outlining the plan for the coordination of the Operation 
        Bahamas, Turks & Caicos mission, at the same level of 
        effectiveness, using other United States Government assets.
            (2) Consultation.--The Secretary of Defense shall consult 
        with the Secretary of State, the Attorney General, and the 
        Secretary of Homeland Security, and with other appropriate

        withdrawal of equipment referred to in that paragraph shall 
        include the following:
                    (A) An explanation of the military justification 
                for the withdrawal of the equipment.
                    (B) An assessment of the availability of other 
                options (including other Government helicopters) to 
                provide the capability being provided by the equipment 
                to be withdrawn.
                    (C) An explanation of how each option specified 
                under subparagraph (B) will provide the capability 
                currently provided by the equipment to be withdrawn.
                    (D) An assessment of the potential use of unmanned 
                aerial vehicles in Operation Bahamas, Turks & Caicos, 
                including the capabilities of such vehicles and any 
                advantages or disadvantages associated with the use of 
                such vehicles in that operation, and a recommendation 
                on whether or not to deploy such vehicles in that 
                operation.

              DEGRADING TREATMENT OR PUNISHMENT.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) It is critical that members of the Armed Forces have 
        clear guidelines about the legality of interrogation techniques 
        as they seek critical intelligence in the War on Terrorism.
            (2) To avoid confusion, any determination made about the 
        legality of various interrogation techniques must be consistent 
        across the United States Government.
            (3) Confusion continues about the permissibility of various 
        interrogation techniques, even after the enactment of the 
        Detainee Treatment Act of 2005 (title X of division A of Public 
        Law 109-148).
            (4) In testimony before the Senate and in written response 
        to queries from the Senate, senior military commanders, Judge 
        Advocates General of the Armed Forces, and various civilian 
        officials of the Executive Branch have given incomplete or 
        varying answers to questions on what constitutes cruel, 
        inhuman, or degrading treatment.
            (5) It is critical to clarify these matters in order to 
        ensure that members of the Armed Forces do not receive unclear 
        or misleading guidance on such matters.

        interrogation.
            (5) The use of beatings, slapping, or violent shaking.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Waste, fraud, and abuse in contracting are harmful to 
        United States efforts to successfully win the conflicts in Iraq

        stealing from our soldiers who are daily in harm's way is

        protected from theft of their tax dollars by corrupt 
        contractors.
            (3) Whistleblower lawsuits are an important tool for 
        exposing waste, fraud, and abuse and can identify serious graft 
        and corruption.
            (4) This issue is of paramount importance to the United 
        States taxpayer, and the Congress must be provided with 
        information about alleged contractor waste, fraud, and abuse 
        taking place in Iraq, Afghanistan, and throughout the war on 
        terror and about the efforts of the Department of Justice to 
        combat these crimes.

            (1) The Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR) under section 118

        strategic military planning and threat objectives of the 
        Department of Defense.
            (2) The Quadrennial Defense Review is critical to 
        identifying the correct mix of military planning assumptions, 
        defense capabilities, and strategic focuses for the Armed 
        Forces of the United States.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that the

                paragraph:
            ``(4) to make recommendations that are not constrained to

        pursuant to section 1105 of title 31.''.
            (2) Additional element in report to congress.--Subsection 
        (d) of such section is amended--
                    (A) in paragraph (1), by inserting ``, the 
                strategic planning guidance,'' after ``United States'';
                    (B) by redesignating paragraphs (9) through (15) as 
                paragraphs (10) through (16), respectively; and
                    (C) by inserting after paragraph (8) the following 
                new paragraph (9):
            ``(9) The specific capabilities, including the general 
        number and type of specific military platforms, needed to 
        achieve the strategic and warfighting objectives identified in 
        the review.''.
            (3) CJCS review.--Subsection (e)(1) of such section is 
        amended by inserting before the period at the end the 
        following: `` and a description of the capabilities needed to 
        address such risk''.
            (4) Independent assessment.--Such section is further 
        amended by adding at the end the following new subsection:
    ``(f) Independent Assessment.--(1) Not later than one year before 
the date a report on a quadrennial defense review is to be submitted to 
Congress under subsection (d), the President shall appoint a panel to 
conduct an independent assessment of the review.

seven individuals (who may not be employees of the Department of 
Defense) as follows:
            ``(A) Three members shall be appointed by the President.

        consultation with, and based on the recommendations of, the 
        Speaker of the House of Representatives.

        consultation with, and based on the recommendations of, the 
        Minority Leader of the House of Representatives.

congressional defense committees an assessment of the assumptions, 
planning guidelines, recommendations, and realism of the review.''.

SEC. 1084. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON THE COMMENDABLE ACTIONS OF THE ARMED 
              FORCES.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
            (1) on June 7, 2006, the United States Armed Forces 
        conducted an air raid near the City of Baquba, northeast of 
        Baghdad, Iraq, that resulted in the death of Ahmad Fadeel al-
        Nazal al-Khalayleh, better known as Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the 
        leader of the al-Qaeda in Iraq terrorist organization and the 
        most wanted terrorist in Iraq;
            (2) Zarqawi, as the operational commander of al-Qaeda in 
        Iraq, led a brutal campaign of suicide bombings, car bombings, 
        assassinations, and abductions that caused the deaths of many 
        members of the United States Armed Forces, civilian officials 
        of the United States Government, thousands of innocent Iraqi 
        civilians, and innocent civilians of other nations;
            (3) Zarqawi publicly swore his allegiance to Osama bin 
        Laden and al-Qaeda in 2004, and changed the name of his 
        terrorist organization from the ``Monotheism and Holy War 
        Group'' to ``al-Qaeda in Iraq'';
            (4) in an audiotape broadcast in December 2004, Osama bin 
        Laden, the leader of al-Qaeda's worldwide terrorist 
        organization, called Zarqawi ``the prince of al-Qaeda in 
        Iraq'';
            (5) 3 perpetrators confessed to being paid by Zarqawi to 
        carry out the October 2002 assassination of the United States 
        diplomat, Lawrence Foley, in Amman, Jordan;
            (6) the Monotheism and Holy War Group claimed 
        responsibility for--
                    (A) the August 2003 suicide attack that destroyed 
                the United Nations headquarters in Baghdad and killed 
                the United Nations envoy to Iraq Sergio Vieira de Mello 
                along with 21 other people; and
                    (B) the suicide attack on the Imam Ali Mosque in 
                Najaf that occurred less than 2 weeks later, which 
                killed at least 85 people, including the Ayatollah 
                Sayed Mohammed Baqr al-Hakim, and wounded dozens more;
            (7) Zarqawi is believed to have personally beheaded 
        American hostage Nicholas Berg in May 2004;
            (8) in May 2004, Zarqawi was implicated in a car bombing 
        that killed Izzadine Salim, the rotating president of the Iraqi 
        Governing Council;
            (9) in November 2005, al-Qaeda in Iraq attacked 3 hotels in 
        Amman, Jordan, killing at least 67 innocent civilians;
            (10) Zarqawi and his terrorist organization were directly 
        responsible for numerous other brutal terrorist attacks against 
        the American and coalition troops, Iraqi security forces and 
        recruits, and innocent Iraqi civilians;
            (11) Zarqawi sought to turn Iraq into a safe haven for al-
        Qaeda;
            (12) to achieve that end, Zarqawi stated his opposition to 
        the democratically elected government of Iraq and worked to 
        divide the Iraqi people, foment sectarian violence, and incite 
        a civil war in Iraq; and
            (13) the men and women of the United States Armed Forces, 
        the intelligence community, and other agencies, along with 
        coalition partners and the Iraqi Security Forces, should be 
        commended for their courage and extraordinary efforts to track 
        down the most wanted terrorist in Iraq and to secure a free and 
        prosperous future for the people of Iraq.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that Congress--
            (1) commends the United States Armed Forces, the 
        intelligence community, and other agencies, along with 
        coalition partners, for the actions taken through June 7, 2006, 
        that resulted in the death of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the leader 
        of the al-Qaeda in Iraq terrorist organization and the most 
        wanted terrorist in Iraq;
            (2) commends the United States Armed Forces, the 
        intelligence community, and other agencies for this action and 
        their exemplary performance in striving to bring freedom, 
        democracy, and security to the people of Iraq;
            (3) commends the coalition partners of the United States, 
        the new government of Iraq, and members of the Iraqi Security 
        Forces for their invaluable assistance in that operation and 
        their extraordinary efforts to secure a free and prosperous 
        Iraq;
            (4) commends our civilian and military leadership for their 
        continuing efforts to eliminate the leadership of al-Qaeda in 
        Iraq, and also commends the new government of Iraq, led by 
        Prime Minister Jawad al-Maliki, for its contribution to that 
        achievement;
            (5) recognizes that the death of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi is a 
        victory for American and coalition forces in the global war on 
        terror and a blow to the al-Qaeda terrorist organization;
            (6) commends the Iraqi Prime Minister Jawad al-Maliki on 
        the finalization of the new Iraqi cabinet;
            (7) urges the democratically elected government in Iraq to 
        use this opportunity to defeat the terrorist enemy, to put an 
        end to ethnic and sectarian violence, and to achieve a free, 
        prosperous, and secure future for Iraq; and
            (8) affirms that the Senate will continue to support the 
        United States Armed Forces, the democratically elected unity 
        government of Iraq, and the people of Iraq in their quest to 
        secure a free, prosperous, and democratic Iraq.

        Production, Stockpiling and Use of Chemical Weapons and on 
        Their Destruction, done at Paris on January 13, 1993 (commonly 
        referred to as the ``Chemical Weapons Convention''), requires 
        all United States chemical weapons stockpiles be destroyed by 
        no later than the extended deadline of April 29, 2012.
            (2) On April 10, 2006, the Department of Defense notified 
        Congress that the United States would not meet even the 
        extended deadline under the Chemical Weapons Convention for 
        destruction of United States chemical weapons stockpiles.
            (3) Destroying existing chemical weapons is a homeland 
        security imperative, an arms control priority, and required by 
        United States law.
            (4) The elimination and nonproliferation of chemical 
        weapons of mass destruction is of utmost importance to the 
        national security of the United States.
    (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that--
            (1) the United States is committed to making every effort 
        to safely dispose of its chemical weapons stockpiles by the 
        Chemical Weapons Convention deadline of April 29, 2012, or as 
        soon thereafter as possible, and will carry out all of its 
        other obligations under the Convention;
            (2) the Secretary of Defense should prepare a comprehensive 
        schedule for safely destroying the United States chemical 
        weapons stockpiles to prevent further delays in the destruction 
        of such stockpiles, and the schedule should be submitted 
        annually to the congressional defense committees separately or 
        as part of another required report; and
            (3) the Secretary of Defense should make every effort to 
        ensure adequate funding to complete the elimination of the 
        United States chemical weapons stockpile in the shortest time 
        possible, consistent with the requirement to protect public 
        health, safety, and the environment.

regulation, gross mismanagement, a gross waste of funds, an abuse of 
authority, or a substantial and specific danger to public health or 
safety shall be made by determining whether a disinterested observer 
with knowledge of the essential facts known to and readily 
ascertainable by the employee could reasonably conclude that the 
actions of the Government evidence such violations, mismanagement, 
waste, abuse, or danger.''.

SEC. 1103. AUTHORITY TO EQUALIZE ALLOWANCES, BENEFITS, AND GRATUITIES 
              OF PERSONNEL ON OFFICIAL DUTY IN IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) As part of the United States effort to bring democracy 
        and freedom to Iraq and Afghanistan, employees of a broad range 
        of Federal agencies are needed to serve in those countries, 
        furnishing expertise to their counterpart agencies in the 
        Government of Iraq and the Government of Afghanistan.
            (2) While the heads of a number of Federal agencies already 
        possess authority to provide to their personnel on official 
        duty abroad allowances, benefits, and death gratuities 
        comparable to those provided by the Secretary of State to 
        similarly-situated Foreign Service personnel on official duty 
        abroad, other agency heads do not possess such authority.
            (3) In order to assist the United States Government in 
        recruiting personnel to serve in Iraq and Afghanistan, and to 
        avoid inequities in allowances, benefits, and death gratuities 
        among similarly-situated United States Government civilian 
        personnel on official duty in these countries, it is essential 
        that the heads of all agencies that have personnel on official 
        duty in Iraq and Afghanistan have the same basic authority with 
        respect to allowances, benefits, and death gratuities for such 
        personnel.
    (b) In General.--During any fiscal year, the head of an agency may, 
in the agency head's discretion, provide to an individual employed by, 
or assigned or detailed to, such agency allowances, benefits, and 
gratuities comparable to those provided by the Secretary of State to 
members of the Foreign Service under section 413 and chapter 9 of title 
I of the Foreign Service Act of 1980 (22 U.S.C. 3973; 4081 et seq.), if 
such individual is on official duty in Iraq or Afghanistan.
    (c) Construction.--Nothing in this section shall be construed to 
impair or otherwise affect the authority of the head of an agency under 
any other provision of law.

SEC. 1209. UNITED STATES' POLICY ON THE NUCLEAR PROGRAMS OF IRAN.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds that:
            (1) The pursuit by the Iranian regime of a capability to 
        produce nuclear weapons represents a threat to the United 
        States, the middle east region, and international peace and 
        security.
            (2) On May 31, 2006, Secretary of State Rice announced that 
        the United States would join negotiations with Iran, along with 
        the United Kingdom, France, and Germany, provided that Iran 
        fully and verifiably suspends its enrichment and reprocessing 
        activities.
            (3) On June 1, 2006, President George W. Bush stated that 
        ``Secretary Rice, at my instructions, said to the world that we 
        want to solve the problem of the Iranian nuclear issue 
        diplomatically. And we made it very clear publicly that we're 
        willing to come to the table, so long as the Iranians 
        verifiably suspend their program. In other words, we said to 
        the Iranians [that] the United States of America wants to work 
        with our partners to solve the problem''.
            (4) On June 1, 2006, the United States, the United Kingdom, 
        France, Germany, the People's Republic of China, and the 
        Russian Federation agreed upon a package of incentives and 
        disincentives, which was subsequently presented to Iran by the 
        High Representative of the European Union, Javier Solana.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--Congress--
            (1) endorses the policy of the United States, announced May 
        31, 2006, to achieve a successful diplomatic outcome, in 
        coordination with leading members of the international 
        community, with respect to the threat posed by the efforts of 
        the Iranian regime to acquire a capability to produce nuclear 
        weapons;
            (2) calls on Iran to suspend fully and verifiably its 
        enrichment and reprocessing activities, cooperate fully with 
        the International Atomic Energy Agency, and enter into 
        negotiations, including with the United States, pursuant to the 
        package presented to Iran by the High Representative of the 
        European Union; and
            (3) urges the President and the Secretary of State to keep 
        Congress fully and currently informed about the progress of 
        this vital diplomatic initiative.

SEC. 1210. MODIFICATION OF LIMITATIONS ON ASSISTANCE UNDER THE AMERICAN 
              SERVICEMEMBERS' PROTECTION ACT OF 2002.

    Section 2013(13)(A) of the American Servicemembers' Protection Act 
of 2002 (title II of Public Law 107-206; 116 Stat. 909; 22 U.S.C. 
7432(13)(A)) is amended by striking ``or 5''.

SEC. 1211. SENSE OF THE CONGRESS COMMENDING THE GOVERNMENT OF IRAQ FOR 
              AFFIRMING ITS POSITION OF NO AMNESTY FOR TERRORISTS WHO 
              ATTACK UNITED STATES ARMED FORCES.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The Armed Forces of the United States and coalition 
        military forces are serving heroically in Iraq to provide all 
        the people of Iraq a better future.
            (2) The Armed Forces of the United States and coalition 
        military forces have served bravely in Iraq since the beginning 
        of military operations in March 2003.
            (3) More than 2,500 of the Armed Forces of the United 
        States and members of coalition military forces have been 
        killed and more than 18,000 injured in operations to bring 
        peace and stability to all the people of Iraq.
            (4) The National Security Advisor of Iraq affirmed that the 
        Government of Iraq will ``never give amnesty to those who have 
        killed American soldiers or Iraqi soldiers or civilians.''
            (5) The National Security Advisor of Iraq thanked ``the 
        American wives and American women and American mothers for the 
        treasure and blood they have invested in this country . . . of 
        liberating 30 million people in this country . . . and we are 
        ever so grateful.''
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) the goal of the United States and our coalition 
        partners has been to empower the Iraqi nation with full 
        sovereignty thereby recognizing their freedom to exercise that 
        sovereignty. Through successive elections and difficult 
        political agreements the unity government is now in place 
        exercising that sovereignty. We must respect that exercise of 
        that sovereignty in accordance with their own wisdom;
            (2) history records that governments derived of free 
        elections should not grant amnesty to those who have committed 
        war crimes or terrorists acts; and
            (3) the United States should continue with the historic 
        tradition of diplomatically, economically, and in a 
        humanitarian manner assisting nations and the people who have 
        fought once a conflict is concluded.

SEC. 1212. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON THE GRANTING OF AMNESTY TO PERSONS 
              KNOWN TO HAVE KILLED MEMBERS OF THE ARMED FORCES IN IRAQ.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The Armed Forces of the United States and coalition 
        military forces are serving heroically in Iraq to provide all 
        the people of Iraq a better future.
            (2) The Armed Forces of the United States and coalition 
        military forces have served bravely in Iraq since the beginning 
        of military operations in March of 2003.
            (3) More than 2,500 members of the Armed Forces of the 
        United States and members of coalition military forces have 
        been killed and more than 18,000 injured in operations to bring 
        peace and stability to all the people of Iraq.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) the Government of Iraq should not grant amnesty to 
        persons known to have attacked, killed, or wounded members of 
        the Armed Forces of the United States; and
            (2) the President should immediately notify the Government

    (a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) the United States Government should bring to bear all 
        elements of national power to achieve its national security 
        objectives, including stabilization and reconstruction 
        operations;
            (2) civilian agencies of the United States Government lack 
        the capacity to deploy rapidly, and for sustained periods of 
        time, trained personnel to support stabilization and 
        reconstruction operations in the field;
            (3) civilian agencies of the United States Government 
        should expand their capacity to plan, coordinate, and conduct 
        stabilization and reconstruction operations, including their 
        capacity to deploy civilians with relevant expertise to 
        participate in sustained stability and reconstruction 
        operations;
            (4) National Security Presidential Directive 44, entitled 
        ``Management of Interagency Efforts Concerning Reconstruction 
        and Stabilization'', is a positive step toward improving 
        coordination, planning, and implementation by the United States 
        Government of reconstruction and stabilization assistance for 
        foreign states and regions at risk of, in, or in transition 
        from conflict or civil strife;
            (5) all the relevant United States Government agencies 
        should include in their budget requests for future fiscal years 
        adequate funding for planning and preparing to support 
        contingency operations and, as necessary, request emergency 
        supplemental funds for unanticipated contingency operations; 
        and
            (6) the President should provide clear guidance to United 
        States Government agencies to manage complex operations and 
        establish a standard, integrated approach to the planning and 
        conduct of interagency operations to ensure a coherent and 
        unified United States Government approach to contingency 
        operations.
    (b) Report.--Not later than six months after the date of the

                on program direction and priorities; and

                assistance programs.
            (3) A description of available capabilities and resources 
        of each department and agency of the United States Government 
        that could be used in support of stabilization and

        prepare civilian and military personnel in the departments and

        stabilization and reconstruction operations.
            (7) A discussion of the statutory and budgetary 
        impediments, if any, that prevent civilian agencies of the 
        United States Government from fully and effectively 
        participating in stabilization and reconstruction operations, 
        and recommendations for legislative or administration actions

        the United States will be eligible to retire within 5 years, 
        representing both a huge loss of institutional memory and a 
        potential national security crisis.
            (3) This shortfall of workers is exacerbated by reductions 
        to the University Reactor Infrastructure and Education 
        Assistance program, which trains civilian nuclear scientists 
        and engineers. The defense and civilian nuclear industries are 
        interdependent on a limited number of educational institutions 
        to produce their workforce. A reduction in nuclear scientists 
        and engineers trained in the civilian sector may result in a 
        further loss of qualified personnel for defense-related 
        research and engineering.
            (4) The Department of Defense's successful Science, Math 
        and Research for Transformation (SMART) scholarship-for-service 
        program serves as a good model for a targeted scholarship or 
        fellowship program designed to educate future scientists at the 
        postsecondary and postgraduate levels.
    (b) Report on Education of Future Nuclear Engineers.--
            (1) Study.--The Secretary of Energy shall study the 
        feasibility and merit of establishing a targeted scholarship or 
        fellowship program to educate future nuclear engineers at the 
        postsecondary and postgraduate levels.
            (2) Report required.--The President shall submit to the 
        congressional defense committees, together with the budget 
        request submitted for fiscal year 2008, a report on the study 
        conducted by the Secretary of Energy under paragraph (1).

                 TITLE XXXIV--NAVAL PETROLEUM RESERVES

SEC. 3401. COMPLETION OF EQUITY FINALIZATION PROCESS FOR NAVAL 
              PETROLEUM RESERVE NUMBERED 1.

    Section 3412(g) of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 1996 (Public Law 104-106; 10 U.S.C. 7420 note) is amended--
            (1) by inserting ``(1)'' after ``(g)''; and
            (2) by adding at the end the following new paragraph:
    ``(2)(A) In light of the unique role that the independent petroleum 
engineer who is retained pursuant to paragraph (b)(2) performs in the 
process of finalizing equity interests, and the importance to the 
United States taxpayer of timely completion of the equity finalization 
process, the independent petroleum engineer's `Shallow Oil Zone 
Provisional Recommendation of Equity Participation,' which was 
presented to the equity finalization teams for the Department of Energy 
and Chevron U.S.A. Inc. on October 1 and 2, 2002, shall become the 
final equity recommendation of the independent petroleum engineer, as 
that term is used in the Protocol on NPR-1 Equity Finalization 
Implementation Process, July 8, 1996, for the Shallow Oil Zone unless 
the Department of Energy and Chevron U.S.A. Inc. agree in writing not 
later than 60 days after the date of the enactment of this paragraph 
that the independent petroleum engineer shall not be liable to either 
party for any cost or expense incurred or for any loss or damage 
sustained--
            ``(i) as a result of the manner in which services are 
        performed by the independent petroleum engineer in accordance 
        with its contract with the Department of Energy to support the 
        equity determination process;
            ``(ii) as a result of the failure of the independent 
        petroleum engineer in good faith to perform any service or make 
        any determination or computation, unless caused by its gross 
        negligence; or
            ``(iii) as a result of the reliance by either party on any 
        computation, determination, estimate or evaluation made by the 
        independent petroleum engineer unless caused by the its gross 
        negligence or willful misconduct.
    ``(B) If Chevron U.S.A. Inc. agrees in writing not later than 60 
days after the date of the enactment of this paragraph that the 
independent petroleum engineer shall not be liable to Chevron U.S.A. 
Inc. or the Department of Energy for any cost or expense incurred or 
for any loss or damage described in clauses (i) through (iii) of 
subparagraph (A), the Department of Energy shall agree to the same not 
later than such date.''.

            Attest:

                                                             Secretary.
