interceptor and the proposed radars to be deployed as part of such
missile defense system has demonstrated, through successful,
operationally realistic flight testing, a high probability of working
in an operationally effective manner and the ability to accomplish the
mission.
SEC. 224. SENSE OF CONGRESS REAFFIRMING CONTINUED SUPPORT FOR
PROTECTING THE UNITED STATES AGAINST LIMITED BALLISTIC
MISSILE ATTACKS WHETHER ACCIDENTAL, UNAUTHORIZED, OR
DELIBERATE.
(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) Congress passed and the President signed the National
Missile Defense Act of 1999 (Public Law 106-38), which stated:
``It is the policy of the United States to deploy as soon as is
technologically possible an effective National Missile Defense
system capable of defending the territory of the United States
against limited ballistic missile attack (whether accidental,
unauthorized, or deliberate).
(2) The United States has thus far deployed 26 long-range,
Ground-based, Midcourse Defense (GMD) interceptors in Alaska
and California to defend against potential long-range missiles
from rogue states such as North Korea.
(3) Congress has fully funded the President's budget
request for the GMD sites in Alaska and California in fiscal
years 2008 and 2009, as well as continued development of the
Standard Missile-3 Block IIA missile with Japan, which will
provide the Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense system the
capability to engage long-range ballistic missiles like the
North Korean Taepo Dong-2.
(4) Senior defense and intelligence officials have
indicated that the threat to the United States from long-range
missiles from rogue states is limited.
(5) Senior military officials have testified that the
original threat assessments of the long-range missile threat
made by the Missile Defense Agency in 2002 were ``off by a
factor of 10 or 20''.
(6) It is imperative that missile defense force structure
and inventory be linked to the most likely threats and
validated military requirements.
(7) The Secretary of Defense, the Chairman of the Joint
Chiefs, the Commander of the United States Strategic Command's
Joint Functional Component Command for Integrated Missile
Defense, and the Director of the Missile Defense Agency have
either testified or stated that 30 operationally deployed GMD
interceptors would be adequate to defend against any rogue
missile threat to the United States in the near- to mid-term.
(8) The Director of the Missile Defense Agency testified
that, for the first time since the establishment of the Missile
Defense Agency in 2002, key elements of the Department of
Defense, such as the combatant commanders and the military
services, played a major role in shaping the missile defense
budget for fiscal year 2010.
(9) There is currently no existing military requirement
justifying the need to deploy 44 GMD interceptors, nor has that
number been validated by the Department of Defense's
requirements process.
(10) In testimony before Congress this year, the Director
of the Missile Defense Agency indicated that a number of GMD
interceptors were removed from their silos for unscheduled
maintenance and refurbishment because of unanticipated problems
with the interceptors were discovered.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that the United
States--
(1) reaffirms the principles articulated in the National
Missile Defense Act of 1999;
(2) should continue to fund robust research, development,
test, and evaluation of the current GMD system deployed in
Alaska in California to ensure that the system will work in an
operationally effective, suitable, maintainable, and survivable
manner to defend the territory of the United States against
limited ballistic missile attack (whether accidental,
unauthorized, or deliberate);
(3) should continue the development of the Standard
Missile-3 Block IIA missile with Japan, which will provide the
Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense system a capability to counter
long-range ballistic missiles like the North Korean Taepo Dong-
2; and
(4) should set future missile defense force structure and
inventory requirements based on a clear linkage to the threat
and the military requirements process that takes into account
the views of key Department of Defense stakeholders such as the
combatant commanders and the military services.
SEC. 225. ASCENT PHASE MISSILE DEFENSE STRATEGY.
(a) Department of Defense Strategy for Ascent Phase Missile
Defense.--Not later than 180 days after the date of the enactment of
this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall submit to the congressional
defense committees a strategy for ascent phase missile defense.
(b) Matters Included.--The strategy required by subsection (a)
shall include each of the following:
(1) A description of the programs and activities contained,
as of the date of the submission of the strategy, in the
program of record of the Missile Defense Agency that provide or
are planned to provide a capability to intercept ballistic
missiles in their ascent phase.
(2) A description of the capabilities that are needed to
accomplish the intercept of ballistic missiles in their ascent
phase, including--
(A) the key technologies and associated technology
readiness levels, plans for maturing such technologies,
and any technology demonstrations for such
capabilities;
(B) concepts of operation for how ascent phase
capabilities would be employed, including the
dependence of such capabilities on, and integration
with, other functions, capabilities, and information,
including those provided by other elements of the
ballistic missile defense system;
(C) the criteria to be used to assess the technical
progress, suitability, and effectiveness of such
capabilities;
(D) a comprehensive plan for development and
investment in such capabilities, including an
identification of specific program and technology
investments to be made in such capabilities;
(E) a description of how, and to what extent,
ascent phase missile defense can leverage the
capabilities and investments made in boost phase,
midcourse, and any other layer or elements of the
ballistic missile defense system;
(F) a description of any other challenges or
limitations associated with ascent phase missile
defense; and
(G) any other information the Secretary determines
is necessary.
(c) Form.--The strategy shall be submitted in unclassified form,
but may include a classified annex.
SEC. 226. AVAILABILITY OF FUNDS FOR A MISSILE DEFENSE SYSTEM FOR EUROPE
AND THE UNITED STATES.
(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) Missile defense promotes the collective security of the
United States and NATO and improves linkages among member
nations of NATO by defending all members of NATO against the
full range of missile threats.
(2) The Islamic Republic of Iran possesses the largest
inventory of short-and medium-range ballistic missiles in the
Middle East and these missiles represent a threat to Europe and
United States interests and deployed forces in the region.
Neither NATO nor the United States currently possesses
sufficient theater missile defense capability to counter this
threat from Iran.
(3) Iran does not currently possess a long-range ballistic
missile capable of reaching the United States and, if it were
to develop such a capability in the near future, the long-range
Ground-based Midcourse Defense (GMD) interceptors currently
deployed in Alaska have sufficient range to protect the United
States against an emerging threat.
(4) It is in the interest of the United States to work
cooperatively with NATO to counter these threats consistent
with the direction provided in the statement by the Heads of
State and Government participating in the meeting of the North
Atlantic Council in Strasbourg/Kehl on April 4, 2009, that:
``we judge that missile threats should be addressed in a
prioritized manner that includes consideration of the level of
imminence of the threat and the level of acceptable risk.''.
(5) The Director of Operational Test and Evaluation for the
Department of Defense has raised concerns about the operational
effectiveness, suitability, and survivability of the current
GMD system, and the Director of the Missile Defense Agency
testified before the House Armed Services Committee on May 21,
2009, that health and status indicators forced the agency to
remove several long-range interceptors for unscheduled
maintenance and refurbishment.
(6) The Fiscal Year 2008 Annual Report to Congress by the
Director of Operational Test and Evaluation (DOT&E) stated:
``The inherent BDMS defensive capability against theater
threats increased during the last fiscal year and DOT&E expects
this trend to continue'' largely due to the continued progress
of the AEGIS and Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD)
systems in operational testing.
(7) The proposed European locations of the long-range
missile defense system allow for the defense of both Europe and
the United States against long-range threats launched from the
Middle East, but a limited deployment of GMD interceptors on
the east coast of the United States would provide comparable
defense of our homeland and the most pressing threat to Europe
is from medium-range ballistic missiles.
(b) Reservation of Funds.--Of the funds made available for fiscal
years 2009 and 2010 for the Missile Defense Agency for the purpose of
developing missile defenses in Europe, $353,100,000 shall be available
only for a missile defense system for Europe and the United States as
described in paragraph (1) or (2) of subsection (c).
(c) Use of Funds.--Funds reserved under subsection (b) may be
obligated and expended by the Secretary of Defense--
(1) on the research, development, test, and evaluation of--
(A) the proposed midcourse radar element of the
ground-based midcourse defense system in the Czech
Republic; and
(B) the proposed long-range missile defense
interceptor site element of such defense system in
Poland; or
(2) on the research, development, test, and evaluation,
procurement, site activation, construction, preparation of,
equipment for, or deployment of an alternative integrated
missile defense system that would protect Europe and the United
States from the threats posed by all types of ballistic
missiles, if the Secretary submits to the congressional defense
committees a report certifying that the alternative missile
defense system is expected to be--
(A) consistent with the direction of the North
Atlantic Council to address ballistic missile threats
to Europe and the United States in a prioritized manner
that includes consideration of the level of imminence
of the threat and the level of acceptable risk;
(B) at least as cost-effective, technically
reliable, and operationally available in protecting
Europe and the United States from missile threats as
the ground-based midcourse defense system described in
paragraph (1);
(C) deployable in a sufficient amount of time to
counter current and emerging ballistic missile threats
(as determined by the intelligence community) launched
from the Middle East that could threaten Europe and the
United States; and
(D) interoperable with other components of missile
defense and compliments NATO's missile defense
strategy.
SEC. 227. STUDY ON DISCRIMINATION CAPABILITIES OF MISSILE DEFENSE

SEC. 228. SENSE OF CONGRESS REAFFIRMING THE REQUIREMENT TO THOROUGHLY
CONSIDER THE ROLE OF BALLISTIC MISSILE DEFENSES DURING
THE QUADRENNIAL DEFENSE REVIEW AND THE NUCLEAR POSTURE
REVIEW.
(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) Congress passed and the President signed the National
Missile Defense Act of 1999 (Public Law 106-38), which stated:
``It is the policy of the United States to deploy as soon as is
technologically possible an effective National Missile Defense
system capable of defending the territory of the United States
against limited ballistic missile attack (whether accidental,
unauthorized, or deliberate).''.
(2) Section 118 of title 10, United States Code requires
the Secretary of Defense ``every four years, during a year
following a year evenly divisible by four, to conduct a
comprehensive examination (to be known as a `Quadrennial
Defense Review') of the national defense strategy, force
structure, force modernization plans, infrastructure, budget
plan, and other elements of the defense program and policies of
the United States with a view toward determining and expressing
the defense strategy of the United States and establishing a
defense program for the next 20 years.''.
(3) Among the requirements established by section 118 of
title 10, United States Code, for the elements that must be
included in the Quadrennial Defense Review are the following:
(A) The threats to the assumed or defined national
security interests of the United States that were
examined for the purposes of the review and the
scenarios developed in the examination of those
threats.
(B) 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.
(C) The effect on force structure of the use by the
armed forces of technologies anticipated to be
available for the ensuing 20 years.
(4) Section 1070 of the National Defense Authorization Act
for Fiscal Year 2008 (Public Law 110-116) requires the
Secretary of Defense to conduct a comprehensive review of the
nuclear posture of the United States for the next 5 to 10 years
``in order to clarify United States nuclear deterrence policy
and strategy for the near term.''.
(5) Among the requirements established by section 1070 of
the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008 for
the elements that must be included in the nuclear posture
review is ``[t]he role that missile defense capabilities and
conventional strike forces play in determining the role and
size of nuclear forces.''.
(6) The Final Report of the Congressional Commission on the
Strategic Posture of the United States, issued on May 7, 2009,
concluded: ``Missile defenses can play a useful role in
supporting the basic objectives of deterrence, broadly defined.
Defenses that are effective against regional aggressors are a
valuable component of the U.S. strategic posture. The United
States should develop and, where appropriate, deploy missile
defenses against regional nuclear aggressors, including against
limited long-range threats. These can also be beneficial for
limiting damage if deterrence fails. The United States should
ensure that its actions do not lead Russia or China to take
actions that increase the threat to the United States and its
allies and friends.''.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that the
Secretary of Defense should thoroughly consider the role of ballistic
missile defenses during the Quadrennial Defense Review and the Nuclear
Posture Review.

SEC. 564. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING THE RECOVERY OF THE REMAINS OF
MEMBERS OF THE ARMED FORCES WHO WERE KILLED DURING WORLD
WAR II IN THE BATTLE OF TARAWA ATOLL.
(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) On November 20, 1943, units of the United States Marine
Corps, supported by units of the United States Army and
warships and aircraft of the United States Navy, conducted an
amphibious landing on the Island of Betio, Tarawa Atoll, in the
Gilbert Islands in the Pacific Ocean.
(2) The United States military forces faced an entrenched
force of 5,000 Japanese soldiers.
(3) The Tarawa landing was the first American amphibious
assault on a fortified beachhead in World War II.
(4) Just 76 hours later, the American flag was raised at
Tarawa.
(5) More than 1,100 Marines and other members of the Armed
Forces were killed during the battle.
(6) Most of the Marines, soldiers, and sailors who were
killed during the battle were buried in hastily dug graves and
cemeteries on Tarawa.
(7) Between 1943 and 1946, the remains of some of the
Marines and other members of the Armed Forces were disinterred
and reinterred in temporary graves by the Navy.
(8) After World War II, the remains of some of these
Marines and other members of the Armed Forces were recovered
and returned to the United States for burial.
(9) Due to mistakes in reinterment, poor records, as well
as other causes, the remains of 564 Marines and other members
of the Armed Forces killed in the battle of Tarawa are in
unmarked, unknown graves.
(10) Since 1980, the Department of Defense has recovered
remains from some unmarked graves that have been found through
construction or other activity on Tarawa.
(11) The remains of members of the Armed Forces on Tarawa
continue to be threatened by construction or other land
disturbing activity.
(12) Recent research has shed new light on the locations of
unmarked and lost graves of members of the Armed Forces on
Tarawa.
(13) It is the responsibility of the Federal Government to
return to the United States for proper burial and respect all
members of the Armed Forces killed at Tarawa who lie in
unmarked and lost graves.
(b) Sense of Congress.--In light of these findings, Congress--
(1) reaffirms its support for the recovery and return to
the United States of the remains of members of the Armed Forces
killed in battle, and for the efforts by the Joint POW-MIA
Accounting Command to recover the remains of members of the
Armed Forces from all wars;
(2) recognizes the courage and sacrifice of the members of
the Armed Forces who fought on Tarawa;
(3) acknowledges the dedicated research and efforts by
persons to identify, locate, and advocate for the recovery of
remains from Tarawa; and
(4) encourages the Department of Defense to review this
research and, as appropriate, pursue new efforts to conduct
field studies, new research, and undertake all feasible efforts
to recover, identify, and return remains of members of the
Armed Forces from Tarawa.

THE DEFENSE SUPPLY CHAIN.
(a) Findings.--Regarding the availability of rare earth materials
and components containing rare earth materials in the defense supply
chain Congress finds--

ensure the uninterrupted supply of strategic materials critical
to national security, including rare earth materials and other
items covered under section 2533b of title 10, United States
Code, to support the defense supply-chain, particularly when
many of those materials are supplied by primary producers in
unreliable foreign nations;
(2) many less common metals, including rare earths and
thorium, are critical to modern technologies, including
numerous defense critical technologies and these technologies
cannot be built without the use of these metals and materials
produced from them and therefore could qualify as strategic
materials, critical to national security, in which case the
Strategic Materials Protection Board should recommend a
strategy to the President to ensure the domestic availability
of these materials; and
(3) there is a need to identify the strategic value placed
on rare earth materials by foreign nations (including China),
and the Department of Defense's supply-chain vulnerability
related to rare earths and end items containing rare earths.
(b) Report Required.--Not later than April 1, 2010, the Comptroller
General shall submit to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate
and House of Representatives a report on the usage of rare earth
materials in the supply chain of the Department of Defense.
(c) Objectives of Report.--The objectives of the report required by
subsection (b) shall be to determine the availability of rare earth
materials, including ores, semi-finished rare earth products,
components containing rare-earth materials, and other uses of rare
earths by the Department of Defense in its weapon systems. The
following items shall be considered:
(1) An analysis of past procurements and attempted
procurements by foreign governments or government- controlled
entities, including mines and mineral rights, of rare-earth
resources outside such nation's territorial boundaries.
(2) An analysis of the worldwide availability of rare
earths, such as samarium, neodymium, thorium and lanthanum,
including current and potential domestic sources for use in
defense systems, including a projected analysis of projected
availability of these materials in the export market.
(3) A determination as to which defense systems are
currently dependent on rare earths supplied by nondomestic
sources, particularly neodymium iron boron magnets.
(d) Rare Earth Defined.--In this section, the term ``rare earth''
means the chemical elements, all metals, beginning with lanthanum,
atomic number 57, and including all of the natural chemical elements in
the periodic table following lanthanum up to and including lutetium,
element number 71. The term also includes the elements yttrium and
scandium.

program), and section 36 of such Act (15 U.S.C. 657f,
relating to procurement program for small business
concerns owned and controlled by service-disabled
veterans)); or
(C) as a result of a competition among a limited
number of sources on the basis that the disclosure of
the need for the item would compromise national
security ; and
(3) the acquisition of the item by means other than a
follow-on contract with the contractor would unduly delay the
fielding of such item to forces preparing for or participating
in overseas contingency operations or for other deployments
undertaken in response to a request from a combatant commander.
(b) Limitations.--A contract awarded using the authority in
subsection (a)--
(1) may have a period of performance of not longer than 1

DETAINEES AT NAVAL STATION, GUANTANAMO BAY, CUBA.
The Secretary of Defense shall comply with the requirements of
section 1023(b) of this Act, regarding the transfer or release of the
individuals detained at Naval Station, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
SEC. 1051. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING CARRIER AIR WING FORCE
STRUCTURE.
(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) The requirement of section 5062(b) of title 10, United
States Code, for the Navy to maintain not less than 11
operational aircraft carriers, means that the naval combat
forces of the Navy also include not less than 10 carrier air
wings.
(2) The Department of the Navy currently requires a carrier
air wing to include not less than 44 strike fighter aircraft.
(3) In spite of the potential warfighting benefits that may
result in the deployment of fifth-generation strike fighter
aircraft, for the foreseeable future the majority of the strike
fighter aircraft assigned to a carrier air wing will not be
fifth-generation assets.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) in addition to the forces described in section 5062(b)
of title 10, United States Code, the naval combat forces of the
Navy should include not less than 10 carrier air wings (even if
the number of aircraft carriers is temporarily reduced) that
are comprised of, in addition to any other aircraft, not less
than 44 strike fighter aircraft; and
(2) the Secretary of the Navy should take all appropriate
actions necessary to make resources available in order to
include such number of strike fighter aircraft in each carrier
air wing.
SEC. 1052. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE FINANCIAL
IMPROVEMENT AND AUDIT READINESS; PLAN.
(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) The Department of Defense is the largest agency in the
Federal Government, owning 86 percent of the Government's
assets, estimated at $4.6 trillion.
(2) It is essential that the Department maintain strong
financial management and business systems that allow for
comprehensive auditing, in order to improve financial
management government-wide and to achieve an opinion on the
Federal Government's consolidated financial statements.
(3) Several major pieces of legislation, such as the Chief
Financial Officers Act of 1990 (Public Law 101-576) and the
Federal Financial Management Improvement Act of 1996 (Public
Law 104-208; 31 U.S.C. 3512 note) have required published
financial statement audits, reporting by auditors regarding
whether the Department's financial management systems comply
substantially with Federal accounting standards, and other
measures intended to ensure financial management systems of the
Department provide accurate, reliable, and timely financial
management information.
(4) Nevertheless, according to the January 2009 update to
the Government Accountability Office High Risk Series, to date,
only ``* * * the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Civil Works has
achieved a clean audit opinion on its financial statements.
None of the military services have received favorable financial
statement audit opinions, and the Department has annually
acknowledged that long-standing pervasive weaknesses in its
business systems, processes, and controls have prevented
auditors from determining the reliability of reported financial
statement information.''.
(5) In response to a congressional mandate, the Department
issued its first biennial Financial Improvement and Audit
Readiness Plan in December 2005, to delineate its strategy for
addressing financial management challenges and achieving clean
audit opinions. This 2005 report projected that 69 percent of
assets and 80 percent of liabilities would be ``clean'' by
2009, yet in the latest report in March 2009 the Department
projects it will achieve an unqualified audit on only 45
percent of its assets and liabilities by 2009. The Department
of Defense is falling behind its original plan to achieve full
compliance with the law by 2017.
(6) Following the passage of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002
(Public Law 107-204), publicly traded corporations in the
United States would face severe penalties for similar
deficiencies in financial management and accountability.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that it is no
longer excusable to allow poor business systems, a deficiency of
resource allocation, or a lack of commitment from senior Department of
Defense leadership to foster waste or non-accountability to the United
States taxpayer. It is the further sense of Congress that the Secretary
of Defense has not made compliance with financial management and audit
readiness standards a top priority and should require, through the
Chief Management Officer of the Department of Defense, that each
component of the Department develop and implement a specific plan to
become compliant with the law well in advance of 2017.
(c) Plan.--In the next update of the Financial Improvement and
Audit Readiness Plan, following the date of the enactment of this Act,
the Secretary of Defense shall outline a plan to achieve a full,
unqualified audit of the Department of Defense by September 30, 2013.
In the plan, the Secretary shall also identify a mechanism to conduct
audits of the military intelligence programs and agencies and to submit
audited financial statements for such agencies to Congress in a
classified manner.
SEC. 1053. JUSTICE FOR VICTIMS OF TORTURE AND TERRORISM.
(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) At the request of President George W. Bush, Congress
permitted the President to waive applicable provisions of the
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008 with
respect to judicially cognizable claims of American victims of
torture and hostage taking by the Government of Iraq.
(2) In return, however, Congress requested the executive
branch to resolve these claims through negotiations with Iraq.
(3) After considerable delay, officials of the Department
of State have informed Members of Congress that these
negotiations are underway.
(4) Congress appreciates the start of the negotiations and
will monitor the progress in the prompt and equitable
resolution of these claims.
(5) Congress notes that the House of Representatives in the
110th Congress unanimously adopted H.R. 5167, the Justice for
Victims of Torture and Terrorism Act, which set forth an
appropriate compromise of these claims.
(6) In the interest of assisting the new democratic
government of Iraq, H.R. 5167 offers a considerable compromise
to all parties involved by waiving all punitive damages awarded
by the courts in these cases, as well as approximately two-
thirds of compensatory damages awarded by the courts.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that as the
negotiations to resolve the claims of American victims of torture and
hostage taking by the Government of Iraq that are referred to in
subsection (a)(1) proceed, Congress continues to view the provisions of
H.R. 5167 of the 110th Congress as representing a fair compromise of
these claims.
SEC. 1054. REPEAL OF CERTAIN LAWS PERTAINING TO THE JOINT COMMITTEE FOR
THE REVIEW OF COUNTERPROLIFERATION PROGRAMS OF THE UNITED
STATES.
(a) Joint Committee for the Review of Counterproliferation
Programs.--Section 1605 of the National Defense Authorization Act for

with effective control over the Theater Internment Facility at Bagram
Air Base, Afghanistan.
(c) Scope of Access.--The ICRC shall be provided access, in
accordance with this section, to any physical locality at the Theater
Internment Facility at Bagram Air Base, Afghanistan, determined by the
ICRC to be relevant to the treatment of the detainee, including the
detainee's cell or room, interrogation facilities or rooms, hospital or
related health care facilities or rooms, or other locations not named
in this section.
(d) Construction.--Nothing in this section shall be construed to--
(1) create or modify the authority of a military service or
department, a Federal law enforcement agency, or the
intelligence community to detain an individual; or
(2) limit or otherwise affect any other rights or
obligations which may arise under the Geneva Conventions, other
international agreements, or other laws, or to state all of the
situations under which notification to and access for the
International Committee of the Red Cross is required or
allowed.

(9) Representative McHugh began serving on the Unites

(11) On June 2, 2009, the President announced his intention
to nominate Representative McHugh to serve as the Secretary of
the Army.
(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that the

distinction and that he deserves the sincere and humble gratitude of
Congress and the Nation.

SEC. 1058. REQUIREMENT FOR VIDEOTAPING OR OTHERWISE ELECTRONICALLY
RECORDING STRATEGIC INTELLIGENCE INTERROGATIONS OF
PERSONS IN THE CUSTODY OF OR UNDER THE EFFECTIVE CONTROL
OF THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE.
(a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) In January 2009, the Secretary of Defense tasked a
special Department of Defense team to review the conditions of
confinement at Naval Station, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to ensure
all detainees there are being held ``in conformity with all
applicable laws governing the conditions of confinement,
including Common Article 3 of the Geneva Conventions'',
pursuant to the President's Executive Order on Review and
Disposition of Individuals Detained at the Guantanamo Bay Naval
Base and Closure of Detention Facilities, dated January 22,
2009.
(2) That review, led by Admiral Patrick M. Walsh, included
as one of its five key recommendations the following statement:
``Fourth, we endorse the use of video recording in all camps
and for all interrogations. The use of video recordings to
confirm humane treatment could be an important enabler for
detainee operations. Just as internal controls provide
standardization, the use of video recordings provides the
capability to monitor performance and maintain
accountability.''.
(3) Congress concurs and finds that the implementation of
such a detainee videorecording requirement within the
Department of Defense is in the national security interest of
the United States.
(b) In General.--In accordance with the Army Field Manual on Human
Intelligence Collector Operations (FM 2-22.3, September 2006), or any
successor thereto, and the guidelines developed pursuant to subsection
(f), the Secretary of Defense shall take such actions as are necessary
to ensure the videotaping or otherwise electronically recording of each
strategic intelligence interrogation of any person who is in the
custody or under the effective control of the Department of Defense or
under detention in a Department of Defense facility.
(c) Classification of Information.--To protect United States
national security, the safety of the individuals conducting or
assisting in the conduct of a strategic intelligence interrogation, and
the privacy of persons described in subsection (b), the Secretary of
Defense shall provide for the appropriate classification of video tapes
or other electronic recordings made pursuant to subsection (b). The use
of such classified video tapes or other electronic recordings in
proceedings conducted under the Detainee Treatment Act of 2005 (title
14 of Public Law 109-163 and title 10 of Public Law 109-148), the
Military Commissions Act of 2006 (10 U.S.C. 948 et seq.; Public Law
109-366), or any other provision of law shall be governed by applicable
rules, regulations, and law.
(d) Strategic Intelligence Interrogation Defined.--For purposes of
this section, the term ``strategic intelligence interrogation'' means
an interrogation of a person described in subsection (b) conducted at a
theater-level detention facility.

requiring--
(1) any member of the Armed Forces engaged in direct combat
operations to videotape or otherwise electronically record a
person described in subsection (b); or

tactical questioning, as such term is defined in the Army Field
Manual on Human Intelligence Collector Operations (FM 2-22.3,
September 2006), or any successor thereto.
(f) Guidelines for Videotape and Other Electronic Recordings.--
(1) Development of guidelines.--The Secretary of Defense,
acting through the Judge Advocates General (as defined in
section 801(1) of title 10, United States Code, (Article 1 of
the Uniform Code of Military Justice)), shall develop and adopt
uniform guidelines designed to ensure that the videotaping or
other electronic recording required under subsection (b), at a
minimum--
(A) promotes full compliance with the laws of the
United States;
(B) is maintained for a length of time that serves
the interests of justice in cases for which trials are
being or may be conducted pursuant to the Detainee
Treatment Act of 2005 (title 14 of Public Law 109-163
and title 10 of Public Law 109-148), the Military
Commissions Act of 2006 (10 U.S.C. 948 et seq.; Public
Law 109-366), or any other provision of law;
(C) promotes the exploitation of intelligence; and
(D) ensures the safety of all participants in the
interrogations.
(2) Submittal to congress.--Not later than 30 days after
the date of the enactment of this section, the Secretary of
Defense shall submit to the Committees on Armed Services of the
Senate and House of Representatives a report containing the
guidelines developed under paragraph (1). Such report shall be
in an unclassified form but may include a classified annex.

Reduction Treaty with a new, legally-binding treaty.''.

the Czech Republic, President Obama proclaimed: ``Iran's
nuclear and ballistic missile activity poses a real threat, not
just to the United States, but to Iran's neighbors and our
allies. The Czech Republic and Poland have been courageous in
agreeing to host a defense against these missiles. As long as
the threat from Iran persists, we will go forward with a
missile defense system that is cost-effective and proven.''.
(4) President Obama also said: ``As long as these [nuclear]
weapons exist, the United States will maintain a safe, secure
and effective arsenal to deter any adversary, and guarantee
that defense to our allies--including the Czech Republic. But
we will begin the work of reducing our arsenal.''.
(b) Limitation.--Funds authorized to be appropriated by this Act or

capabilities, or advanced conventional weapons of the United
States; and
(3) the fiscal year 2011 budget request for programs of the

will be sufficiently funded to--
(A) maintain the reliability, safety, and security
of the remaining strategic nuclear forces of the United
States; and
(B) modernize and refurbish the nuclear weapons
complex.
(c) Report.--Not later than 90 days after the date of the enactment

provisions of section 5304(d)(1)(A) of title 5, United States
Code, beginning after the date of the enactment of this Act,
the Bureau of Labor Statistics should conduct separate surveys
to determine the extent of any pay disparity (as defined by

positions located in the State of Alaska, the State of Hawaii,
and the United States territories, including American Samoa,
Guam, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands,
Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and the United States Virgin

Islands, Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and the United States
Virgin Islands exceeds the pay disparity determined for the
locality which (for purposes of section 5304 of that title) is
commonly known as the ``Rest of the United States'', the
President's Pay Agent should take appropriate measures to
provide that each such surveyed area be treated as a separate
pay locality for purposes of that section; and

area for the entire State of Hawaii and 1 locality area for the
entire State of Alaska.

special rate consistent with increases in the applicable
special rate schedule. For employees in allowance areas, the
minimum step rate for any grade of a special rate schedule
shall be increased at the time of an increase in the applicable
locality rate percentage for the allowance area by not less
than the dollar increase in the locality-based comparability
payment for a non-special rate employee at the same minimum
step provided under section 214 of this subtitle, and
corresponding increases shall be provided for all step rates of
the given pay range.
(2) Continuation of cost of living allowance rate.--If an
employee, who the day before the date of enactment of this Act

rate of basic pay and applicable locality-based comparability
payment which is in excess of the maximum rate limitation set
under section 5304(g) of title 5, United States Code, for his
position (but for that maximum rate limitation) due to the
operation of this subtitle, the employee shall continue to
receive the cost-of-living allowance rate in effect on December
31, 2009 without adjustment until--
(A) the employee leaves the allowance area or pay
system; or
(B) the employee is entitled to receive basic pay
(including any applicable locality-based comparability
payment or similar supplement) at a higher rate,
but, when any such position becomes vacant, the pay of any
subsequent appointee thereto shall be fixed in the manner
provided by applicable law and regulation.
(3) Locality-based comparability payments.--Any employee
covered under paragraph (2) shall receive any applicable
locality-based comparability payment extended under section 214
of this subtitle which is not in excess of the maximum rate set
under section 5304(g) of title 5, United States Code, for his
position including any future increase to statutory pay
limitations under 5318 of title 5, United States Code.
Notwithstanding paragraph (2), to the extent that an employee
covered under that paragraph receives any amount of locality-
based comparability payment, the cost-of-living allowance rate
under that paragraph shall be reduced accordingly, as provided
