              TITLE X--POLICY REGARDING OPERATIONS IN IRAQ

      sense of congress regarding united states military personnel

    Sec. 10001.  It is the sense of the Congress that the performance

and sacrifice have been exceptional, and when they come home, their 
service should be recognized appropriately.

         units deployed for combat to be fully mission capable

    Sec. 10002.  (a) The Congress finds that it is the policy of the 
Department of Defense that units should not be deployed for combat 
unless they are rated ``fully mission capable''.
    (b) None of the funds made available in this or any other Act may 
be used to deploy any unit of the Armed Forces to Iraq unless the 
President has certified in writing to the Committees on Appropriations 
and the Committees on Armed Services of the House of Representatives 
and the Senate at least 15 days in advance of the deployment that the 
unit is fully mission capable in advance of entry into Iraq.
    (c) For purposes of subsection (b), the term ``fully mission 
capable'' means capable of performing assigned mission essential tasks

    (d) The President, by certifying in writing to the Committees on 
Appropriations and the Committees on Armed Services of the House of 
Representatives and the Senate that the deployment to Iraq of a unit 
that is not assessed mission capable is required for reasons of 
national security and by submitting along with the certification a 
report in classified and unclassified form detailing the particular 
reason or reasons why the unit's deployment is necessary despite the 
unit commander's assessment that the unit is not mission capable, may 
waive the limitations prescribed in subsection (b) on a unit-by-unit 
basis.

                    time limit on combat deployments

and Marine Corps Reserve units should not be deployed for combat beyond 
210 days.
    (b) None of the funds made available in this or any other Act may

        Guard beyond 365 days; or
            (2) any unit of the Marine Corps or Marine Corps Reserve 
        beyond 210 days.
    (c) The limitation prescribed in subsection (b) shall not be 
construed to require force levels in Iraq to be decreased below the 
total United States force levels in Iraq as of January 9, 2007.
    (d) The President may waive the limitations prescribed in 
subsection (b) on a unit-by-unit basis if the President certifies in 
writing to the Committees on Appropriations and the Committees on Armed 
Services of the House of Representatives and the Senate that the 
extension of a unit's deployment in Iraq beyond the period applicable 
to the unit under such subsection is required for reasons of national 
security. The certification shall include a report, in classified and 
unclassified form, detailing the particular reason or reasons why the 
unit's extended deployment is necessary.

                 dwell time between combat deployments

    Sec. 10004.  (a) The Congress finds that it is the policy of the 
Department of Defense that an Army, Army Reserve, or National Guard 
unit should not be redeployed for combat if the unit has been deployed

Marine Corps Reserve unit should not be redeployed for combat if the 
unit has been deployed within the previous 210 days.

development of, or execute any order that has the effect of deploying 
for Operation Iraqi Freedom of--

        Guard if such unit has been deployed within the previous 365 
        consecutive days; or
            (2) any unit of the Marine Corps or Marine Corps Reserve if 
        such unit has been deployed within the previous 210 consecutive 
        days.

construed to require force levels in Iraq to be decreased below the 
total United States force levels in Iraq as of January 9, 2007.
    (d) The President may waive the limitations prescribed in 
subsection (b) on a unit-by-unit basis if the President certifies in 
writing to the Committees on Appropriations and the Committees on Armed 
Services of the House of Representatives and the Senate that the

                                findings

    Sec. 3002.  Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) On September 11, 2001, terrorists attacked the United 
        States, and the brave members of the Armed Forces of the United 
        States were called to the defense of the Nation.
            (2) Service on active duty in the Armed Forces has been 
        especially arduous for the members of the Armed Forces since 
        September 11, 2001.
            (3) The United States has a proud history of offering 
        educational assistance to millions of veterans, as demonstrated 
        by the many ``G.I. Bills'' enacted since World War II. 
        Educational assistance for veterans helps reduce the costs of 
        war, assist veterans in readjusting to civilian life after 
        wartime service, and boost the United States economy, and has a 
        positive effect on recruitment for the Armed Forces.
            (4) The current educational assistance program for veterans 
        is outmoded and designed for peacetime service in the Armed 
        Forces.
            (5) The people of the United States greatly value military 
        service and recognize the difficult challenges involved in 
        readjusting to civilian life after wartime service in the Armed 
        Forces.
            (6) It is in the national interest for the United States to 
        provide veterans who serve on active duty in the Armed Forces 
        after September 11, 2001, with enhanced educational assistance 
        benefits that are worthy of such service and are commensurate 
        with the educational assistance benefits provided by a grateful 
        Nation to veterans of World War II.

amounts of emergency unemployment compensation under this title to

            (2) such repayment would be contrary to equity and good 
        conscience.
    (c) Recovery by State Agency.--
            (1) In general.--The State agency may recover the amount to 
        be repaid, or any part thereof, by deductions from any 
        emergency unemployment compensation payable to such individual 
        under this title or from any unemployment compensation payable 
        to such individual under any State or Federal unemployment 
        compensation law administered by the State agency or under any 
        other State or Federal law administered by the State agency 
        which provides for the payment of any assistance or allowance 
        with respect to any week of unemployment, during the 3-year 
        period after the date such individuals received the payment of 
        the emergency unemployment compensation to which they were not

        required, and no deduction shall be made, until a determination 
        has been made, notice thereof and an opportunity for a fair 
        hearing has been given to the individual, and the determination 
        has become final.

shall be subject to review in the same manner and to the same extent as 
determinations under the State unemployment compensation law, and only 
in that manner and to that extent.
