Center in Hawaii, by the military departments and increase the use of such
training ranges for bilateral and multilateral exercises with regional

that I will never leave a fallen comrade
; and
(3)while the United States continues to transition leadership roles in combat operations in

597.Sense of Congress regarding the recovery of the remains of certain members of the Armed Forces
killed in Thurston Island, Antarctica
(a)Congress makes the following findings:
(1)Commencing August 26, 1946, though late February 1947 the United States Navy Antarctic Developments
Program Task Force 68, codenamed Operation Highjump
initiated and undertook the largest ever-to-this-date exploration of the Antarctic continent.
(2)The primary mission of the Task Force 68 organized by Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd Jr. USN, (Ret)
and led by Rear Admiral Richard H. Cruzen, USN, was to do the following:
(A)Establish the Antarctic research base Little America IV.
(B)In the defense of the United States of America from possible hostile aggression from abroad - to
train personnel test equipment, develop techniques for establishing,
maintaining and utilizing air bases on ice, with applicability comparable
to interior Greenland, where conditions are similar to those of the
Antarctic.
(C)Map and photograph a full two-thirds of the Antarctic Continent during the classified, hazardous
duty/volunteer-only operation involving 4700 sailors, 23 aircraft and 13
ships including the first submarine the U.S.S. Sennet, and the aircraft
carrier the U.S.S. Philippine Sea, brought to the edge of the ice pack to
launch (6) Navy ski-equipped, rocket-assisted R4Ds
(D)Consolidate and extend United States sovereignty over the largest practicable area of the Antarctic
continent.
(E)Determine the feasibility of establishing, maintaining and utilizing bases in the Antarctic and
investigating possible base sites.
(3)While on a hazardous duty/all volunteer mission vital to the interests of National Security and
while over the eastern Antarctica coastline known as the Phantom Coast,
the PBM–5 Martin Mariner Flying Boat
George 1
entered a whiteout over Thurston Island. As the pilot attempted to climb, the aircraft grazed the
glacier’s ridgeline and exploded within 5 seconds instantly killing Ensign
Maxwell Lopez, Navigator and Wendell Bud
Hendersin, Aviation Machinists Mate 1st Class while Frederick Williams, Aviation Radioman 1st
Class died several hours later. Six other crewmen survived including the
Captain of the George 1’s
seaplane tender U.S.S. Pine Island.
(4)The bodies of the dead were protected from the desecration of Antarctic scavenging birds (Skuas) by
the surviving crew wrapping the bodies and temporarily burying the men
under the starboard wing engine nacelle.
(5)Rescue requirements of the George 1
survivors forced the abandonment of their crewmates’ bodies.
(6)Conditions prior to the departure of Task Force 68 precluded a return to the area to the recover
the bodies.
(7)For nearly 60 years Navy promised the families that they would recover the men: If the safety, logistical, and operational prerequisites allow a mission in the future, every
effort will be made to bring our sailors home.
.
(8)The Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command twice offered to recover the bodies of this crew for Navy.
(9)A 2004 NASA ground penetrating radar overflight commissioned by Navy relocated the crash site three
miles from its crash position.
(10)The Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command offered to underwrite the cost of an aerial ground penetrating
radar (GPR) survey of the crash site area by NASA.
(11)The Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command studied the recovery with the recognized recovery authorities
and national scientists and determined that the recovery is only medium risk
.
(12)National Science Foundation and scientists from the University of Texas, Austin, regularly visit
the island.
(13)The crash site is classified as a perishable site
, meaning a glacier that will calve into the Bellingshausen Sea.
(14)The National Science Foundation maintains a presence in area of the Pine Island Glacier.
(15)The National Science Foundation Director of Polar Operations will assist and provide assets for the
recovery upon the request of Congress.
(16)The United States Coast Guard is presently pursuing the recovery of 3 WWII air crewmen from similar
circumstances in Greenland.
(17)On Memorial Day, May 25, 2009, President Barack Obama declared: * * * the support of our veterans is a sacred trust * * * we need to serve them as they have served
us * * * that means bringing home all our POWs and MIAs * * *
.
(18)The policies and laws of the United States of America require that our armed service personnel be
repatriated.
(19)The fullest possible accounting of United States fallen military personnel means repatriating
living American POWs and MIAs, accounting for, identifying, and recovering
the remains of military personnel who were killed in the line of duty, or
providing convincing evidence as to why such a repatriation, accounting,
identification, or recovery is not possible.
(20)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 in the line of duty who
lie in lost graves.
(b)In light of the findings under subsection (a), Congress—
(1)reaffirms its support for the recovery and return to the United States, the remains and bodies of
all members of the Armed Forces killed in the line of duty, and for the
efforts by the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command to recover the remains of
members of the Armed Forces from all wars, conflicts and missions;
(2)recognizes the courage and sacrifice of all members of the Armed Forces who participated in
Operation Highjump and all missions vital to the national security of the
United States of America;
(3)acknowledges the dedicated research and efforts by the US Geological Survey, the National Science
Foundation, the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command, the Fallen American
Veterans Foundation and all persons and organizations to identify, locate,
and advocate for, from their temporary Antarctic grave, the recovery of
the well-preserved frozen bodies of Ensign Maxwell Lopez, Naval Aviator,
Frederick Williams, Aviation Machinist’s Mate 1ST Class, Wendell
Hendersin, Aviation Radioman 1ST Class of the George 1
explosion and crash; and
(4)encourages the Department of Defense to review the facts, research and to pursue new efforts to
undertake all feasible efforts to recover, identify, and return the
well-preserved frozen bodies of the George 1
crew from Antarctica’s Thurston Island.
598.Name of the Department of Veterans Affairs and Department of Defense joint outpatient clinic,
Marina, California
(a)The Department of Veterans Affairs and Department of Defense joint outpatient clinic to be
constructed at the intersection of the proposed Ninth Street and the
proposed First Avenue in Marina, California, shall be known and designated
as the Major General William H. Gourley VA–DOD Outpatient Clinic
.
(b)Any reference in a law, regulation, map, document, record, or other paper of the United States to
the Department of Veterans Affairs and Department of Defense joint
outpatient clinic referred to in subsection (a) shall be deemed to be a
reference to the Major General William H. Gourley VA–DOD Outpatient Clinic
.
599.Sense of Congress regarding preservation of Second Amendment rights of active duty military
personnel stationed or residing in the District of Columbia
(a)Congress finds the following:
(1)The Second Amendment to the United States Constitution provides that the right of the people to
keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
(2)Approximately 40,000 servicemen and women across all branches of the Armed Forces either live in or
are stationed on active duty within the Washington, D.C., metropolitan
area. Unless these individuals are granted a waiver as serving in a law
enforcement role, they are subject to the District of Columbia’s onerous
and highly restrictive laws on the possession of firearms.
(3)Military personnel, despite being extensively trained in the proper and safe use of firearms, are
therefore deprived by the laws of the District of Columbia of handguns,
rifles, and shotguns that are commonly kept by law-abiding persons
throughout the United States for sporting use and for lawful defense of
their persons, homes, businesses, and families.
(4)The District of Columbia has one of the highest per capita murder rates in the Nation, which may be
attributed in part to previous local laws prohibiting possession of
firearms by law-abiding persons who would have otherwise been able to
defend themselves and their loved ones in their own homes and businesses.
(5)The Gun Control Act of 1968 (as amended by the Firearms Owners’ Protection Act) and the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act
provide comprehensive Federal regulations applicable in the District of
Columbia as elsewhere. In addition, existing District of Columbia criminal
laws punish possession and illegal use of firearms by violent criminals
and felons. Consequently, there is no need for local laws that only affect
and disarm law-abiding citizens.
(6)On June 26, 2008, the Supreme Court of the United States in the case of District of Columbia v.
Heller held that the Second Amendment protects an individual’s right to
possess a firearm for traditionally lawful purposes, and thus ruled that
the District of Columbia’s handgun ban and requirements that rifles and
shotguns in the home be kept unloaded and disassembled or outfitted with a
trigger lock to be unconstitutional.
(7)On July 16, 2008, the District of Columbia enacted the Firearms Control Emergency Amendment Act of
2008 (D.C. Act 17–422; 55 DCR 8237), which places onerous restrictions on
the ability of law-abiding citizens from possessing firearms, thus
violating the spirit by which the Supreme Court of the United States ruled
in District of Columbia v. Heller.
(8)On February 26, 2009, the United States Senate adopted an amendment on a bipartisan vote of 62–36
by Senator John Ensign to S. 160, the District of Columbia House Voting
Rights Act of 2009, which would fully restore Second Amendment rights to
the citizens of the District of Columbia.
(b)It is the sense of Congress that active duty military personnel who are stationed or residing in
the District of Columbia should be permitted to exercise fully their
rights under the Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States
and therefore should be exempt from the District of Columbia’s
restrictions on the possession of firearms.

access to the raw materials and industrial capacity of Western Europe.
(3)The naval assault phase on Normandy was code-named Neptune
, and the June 6th assault date is referred to as D-Day to denote the day on which the combat
attack was initiated.

involvement in celebrating the veterans of the Normandy landings and the
freedom that they brought with them in 1944.

military equipment found both on the Normandy beaches and at the bottom of
the sea in French territorial waters, bear witness to the remarkable
material resources used by the Allied Armed Forces to execute the Normandy
landings.
(10)Five Normandy beaches and a number of sites on the Normandy coast, including Pointe du Hoc, were
the scene of the Normandy landings, and constitute both now and for all
time a unique piece of humanity's world heritage, and a symbol of peace
and freedom, whose unspoilt nature, integrity, and authenticity must be
protected at all costs.

who assumed the task of freeing the world from Nazi and Fascist regimes and restoring liberty to
Europe.

reassure the people of Afghanistan and to provide a tangible statement of

the successful elections are a positive step in the self-determination of
the future of Afghanistan.
(2)However, no country can be successful in the long-term if a majority of its population is not
included in the dialogue and decision-making of such country.
(3)The women of Afghanistan have made historic strides in the last several years and the elections
prove that the women need and have a right to have a voice in the future
of Afghanistan.
(4)To that end, the women of Afghanistan are vital to the development of Afghanistan and the national
security of Afghanistan;
(5)Women are needed to serve Afghanistan in the Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF), not just for
the future standing of women in society, but for cultural reasons.
(6)Therefore, it is important that Afghanistan move forward in increasing the number of women in the
ANSF with the current facilities and capacity to meet the requirements
Afghanistan has proposed to achieve.
(b)It is the sense of Congress that—
(1)the allocation of $25,000,000 for fiscal year 2014 for the ANSF should be prioritized for the
recruitment, retention, and training of women in the ANSF;
(2)current facilities to support women in the ANSF should be fully utilized before additional

, should be integrated into efforts to enable women to serve in the ANSF; and

security and mobility with respect to women and girls in Afghanistan

interests of peace, national security, economic and social development,
and international cooperation.

1220D.Sense of Congress relating to Dr. Shakil Afridi
(a)Congress finds the following:
(1)The attacks of September 11, 2001, killed approximately 3,000 people, most of whom were Americans,
but also included hundreds of individuals with foreign citizenships,
nearly 350 New York Fire Department personnel, and about 50 law
enforcement officers.
(2)Downed United Airlines flight 93 was reportedly intended, under the control of the al-Qaeda
high-jackers, to crash into the White House or the Capitol in an attempt
to kill the President of the United States or Members of the United States
Congress.
(3)The September 11, 2001, attacks were largely planned and carried out by the al-Qaeda terrorist
network led by Osama bin Laden and his deputy Ayman al Zawahiri, after
which Osama bin Laden enjoyed safe haven in Pakistan from where he
continued to plot deadly attacks against the United States and the world.
(4)The United States has obligated nearly $30 billion between 2002 and 2014 in United States taxpayer
money for security and economic aid to Pakistan.
(5)The United States very generously and swiftly responded to the 2005 Kashmir Earthquake in Pakistan
with more than $200 million in emergency aid and the support of several
United States military aircraft, approximately 1,000 United States
military personnel, including medical specialists, thousands of tents,
blankets, water containers and a variety of other emergency equipment.
(6)The United States again generously and swiftly contributed approximately $150 million in emergency
aid to Pakistan following the 2010 Pakistan flood, in addition to the
service of nearly twenty United States military helicopters, their flight
crews, and other resources to assist the Pakistan Army’s relief efforts.
(7)The United States continues to work tirelessly to support Pakistan’s economic development,
including millions of dollars allocated towards the development of
Pakistan’s energy infrastructure, health services and education system.
(8)The United States and Pakistan continue to have many critical shared interests, both economic and
security related, which could be the foundation for a positive and
mutually beneficial partnership.
(9)Dr. Shakil Afridi, a Pakistani physician, is a hero to whom the people of the United States,
Pakistan and the world owe a debt of gratitude for his help in finally
locating Osama bin Laden before more innocent American, Pakistani and
other lives were lost to this terrorist leader.
(10)Pakistan, the United States and the international community had failed for nearly 10 years
following attacks of September 11, 2001, to locate and bring Osama bin
Laden, who continued to kill innocent civilians in the Middle East, Asia,
Europe, Africa and the United States, to justice without the help of Dr.
Afridi.
(11)The Government of Pakistan’s imprisonment of Dr. Afridi presents a serious and growing impediment
to the United States’ bilateral relations with Pakistan.
(12)The Government of Pakistan has leveled and allowed baseless charges against Dr. Afridi in a
politically motivated, spurious legal process.
(13)Dr. Afridi is currently imprisoned by the Government of Pakistan, a deplorable and unconscionable
situation which calls into question Pakistan’s actual commitment to
countering terrorism and undermines the notion that Pakistan is a true
ally in the struggle against terrorism.
(b)It is the sense of Congress that Dr. Shakil Afridi is an international hero and that the Government
of Pakistan should release him immediately from prison.
CMatters relating to the Russian Federation
1221.Limitation on military contact and cooperation between the United States and the Russian Federation

information in the report under subparagraph (B).

sale or other transfer of the Club-K land attack cruise missile system if—

gender-based violence prevention and response mechanisms throughout United
States overseas operations is a critical step toward promoting regional
and global stability and achieving sustainable peace and security;

State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs Appropriations Act, 2012
(H.R. 2055, One Hundred Twelfth Congress), the Secretary of State and the

(6)since the authority for the Strategy was established initially in the matter relating to section

1248.Department of Defense situational awareness of economic and financial activity
(a)Congress makes the following findings:
(1)There is a lack of situational awareness within the Department of Defense concerning how state and
non-state adversaries and potential adversaries are interwoven into the
international financial and trading systems via legal and licit activities
and use such market activities to fund and equip themselves and advance
their interests.
(2)There is a lack of capability within the Department of Defense to formulate policy options within
the interagency process, or for consideration within the Department,
concerning whether state and non-state adversaries and potential
adversaries have key vulnerabilities associated with their positioning
within the global economic and financial systems.
(3)The Department of Defense would benefit from having enhanced situational awareness regarding the
commercial and strategic interactions of state and non-state adversaries
and potential adversaries within the global economic and financial systems
and integrating relevant findings into defense policy options, deterrence
strategy, planning and preparedness.
(4)The state-owned enterprises and sovereign wealth funds of adversaries and potential adversaries
represent, in some cases, strategic tools of their controlling governments
and their global operations and therefore warrant increased scrutiny and
knowledge.
(5)Without improved situational awareness of the business transactions and financial activities of
state and non-state adversaries and potential adversaries, as well as
entities they own and control, current efforts and deterrence strategies
will continue to represent an underdeveloped defense requirement that
lacks strategic direction.
(b)Enhanced situational awareness requiredThe Secretary of Defense shall take such steps as may be necessary to improve—
(1)the situational awareness capabilities of the Department of Defense regarding the legal and licit
business transactions and global market positioning of adversaries and
potential adversaries; and

planning, deterrence, and capabilities and strategies of the Department.

missile defense systems of the United States.

year 2015 for the Department of Defense or for United States contributions

Conditions of the Black Sea Fleet Stationing on the Territory of Ukraine;

to those who harm Americans.
.
(3)On May 1, 2014, White House spokesman Jay Carney stated that: I can assure you that the President’s direction is that those who killed four Americans will be
pursued by the United States until they are brought to justice. And if
anyone doubts that, they should ask * * * friends and family members of
Osama bin Laden.
.
(4)In testimony before Congress in October 2013, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General

force against the Benghazi attackers.
(6)No terrorist responsible for the Benghazi attacks has been brought to justice.
(b)It is the sense of the Congress that—

Libya on September 11 and 12, 2012, pose a continuing threat to the
national security of the United States;
(2)the failure to hold any individual responsible for these terrorist attacks is a travesty of
justice, and undermines the national security of the United States; and
(3)the uncertainty surrounding the authority of the President to use force against the terrorists
responsible for the attack against United States personnel in Benghazi,
Libya, undermines the President as Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces
of the United States.

(a)Congress finds the following:
(1)In 1793, George Washington said, The constitution vests the power of declaring war in Congress; therefore no offensive expedition of
importance can be undertaken until after they shall have deliberated upon
the subject and authorized such a measure.
.
(2)In a letter to Thomas Jefferson in 1798, James Madison wrote: The constitution supposes, what the History of all Governments demonstrates, that the Executive is
the branch of power most interested in war, and most prone to it. It has
accordingly with studied care vested the question of war to the
Legislature.
.
(3)In 1973, Congress passed the War Powers Resolution which states in section 2: The constitutional powers of the President as Commander-in-Chief to introduce United States Armed
Forces into hostilities, or into situations where imminent involvement in
hostilities is clearly indicated by the circumstances, are exercised only
pursuant to (1) a declaration of war, (2) specific statutory
authorization, or (3) national emergency created by attack upon the United
States, its territories or possessions, or its armed forces.
.
(4)With respect to United States military intervention in Syria, President Obama said, But having made my decision as Commander-in-Chief based on what I am convinced is our national
security interests, I’m also mindful that I’m the President of the world’s
oldest constitutional democracy. I’ve long believed that our power is
rooted not just in our military might, but in our example as a government
of the people, by the people, and for the people. And that’s why I've made
a second decision: I will seek authorization for the use of force from the
American people’s representatives in Congress.
.
(b)Nothing in this Act shall be construed to authorize any use of military force.
1253.Limitation on availability of funds to implement the Arms Trade Treaty

(2)The United States-Israel Enhanced Security Cooperation Act of 2012 (22 U.S.C. 8601 et seq.)
expressed the sense of Congress that the Government of the United States
should transfer to the Government of Israel defense articles and defense
services such as air refueling tankers, missile defense capabilities, and
specialized munitions.
(3)The inherent right of Israel to self-defense necessarily includes the possession and maintenance by
Israel of an independent capability to remove existential threats to its

to strengthen the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).
(2)The main priority of Poland with respect to such efforts is to procure anti-aircraft and missile
defense systems.
(3)At a time when most NATO allies are cutting defense spending, Poland has maintained a steady

1269.Findings and sense of Congress
(a)Congress finds the following:
(1)Protecting cultural property abroad is a vital part of United States cultural diplomacy, showing
the respect of the United States for other cultures and the common
heritage of humanity.
(2)Cultural property abroad has been lost, damaged, or destroyed due to political instability, armed
conflict, natural disasters, and other threats.
(3)In Egypt, political instability has led to the ransacking of its museums, resulting in the
destruction of countless ancient artifacts that will forever leave gaps in
humanity’s knowledge of the ancient Egyptian civilization.
(4)In Syria, the ongoing civil war has resulted in the shelling of medieval cities, damage to World
Heritage Sites, and the looting of museums and archaeological sites.
Archaeological and historic sites and artifacts in Syria date back more
than six millennia, and include some of the earliest examples of writing.
(5)In Mali, the Al-Qaeda-affiliated terrorist group Ansar Dine destroyed tombs and shrines in the
ancient city of Timbuktu, once a major center for Islamic learning and
scholarship in the 15th and 16th centuries, and threatened collections of
ancient manuscripts.
(6)In Afghanistan, the Taliban decreed that the Bamiyan Buddhas, ancient statues carved into a cliff
side in central Afghanistan, were to be destroyed. In 2001 the Taliban
carried out their threat and destroyed the statues, leading to worldwide
condemnation.
(7)In Iraq, after the fall of Saddam Hussein, thieves looted the Iraq Museum in Bagdad, resulting in
the loss of approximately 15,000 items. These included ancient amulets,
sculptures, ivories, and cylinder seals. Many of these items remain
unrecovered.
(8)The destruction of these and other cultural properties represents an irreparable loss to humanity’s
common cultural heritage, and therefore to all Americans.
(9)The Armed Forces have played important roles in preserving and protecting cultural property. On
June 23, 1943, President Franklin D. Roosevelt established the American
Commission for the Protection and Salvage of Artistic and Historic
Monuments in War Areas to provide expert advice to the military on the
protection of cultural property. The Commission formed Monuments, Fine
Arts, and Archives (MFAA) teams which became part of the Civil Affairs
Division of Military Government Section of the Allied armies. The
individuals serving in the MFAA were known as the Monuments Men
and have been credited with securing, cataloguing, and returning hundreds of thousands works of
art stolen by the Nazis during World War II.
(10)The United States Committee of the Blue Shield was founded in 2006 to support the implementation of
the 1954 Hague Convention for the Protection of Cultural Property in the
Event of Armed Conflict, and to coordinate with the Armed Forces, other
branches of the United States Government, and other cultural heritage
nongovernmental organizations in preserving cultural property abroad
threatened by political instability, armed conflict, or natural or other
disasters.
(b)It is the sense of Congress that—
(1)the Armed Forces play an important role in preserving and protecting cultural property in countries
at risk of destruction due to political instability, armed conflict, or
natural or other disasters; and
(2)the United States must protect cultural property abroad pursuant to its obligations under the 1954
Hague Convention for the Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of
Armed Conflict and customary international law in all conflicts to which
the United States is a party.
(c)Report on activities of the Department of Defense in regards to protecting cultural property abroadThe Secretary of Defense shall submit to the congressional defense committees and the Committee on
Foreign Relations of the Senate and the Committee on Foreign Affairs of
the House of Representatives a report on efforts of the Department of
Defense to protect cultural property abroad, including activities
undertaken pursuant to the 1954 Hague Convention for the Protection of
Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict, other cultural
protection statutes, and international agreements, including—
(1)directives, policies, and regulations the Department has instituted to protect cultural property
abroad at risk of destruction due to political instability, armed
conflict, or natural or other disasters;
(2)actions the Armed Forces have taken to protect cultural property abroad, including efforts made to
avoid damage, to the extent possible, to cultural property through
construction activities, training to ensure deploying military personnel
are able to identify, avoid, and protect cultural property abroad, and
other efforts made to inform military personnel about the protection of
cultural property as part of the law of war; and
(3)the status and number of specialist personnel in the Armed Forces assigned to secure respect for
cultural property abroad and to cooperate with civilian authorities
responsible for safeguarding cultural property abroad, as required by
existing treaty obligations under Article 7 of the 1954 Hague Convention.
1270.Sense of Congress on Nigeria and Boko Haram
(a)Congress makes the following findings:
(1)In recent years, Boko Haram has furthered violence and instability in Nigeria and bordering
countries.
(2)The terrorist group known as Boko Haram,
which translates to Western education is forbidden,
perpetrates violent attacks in Nigeria and has grown in strength and sophistication since its
founding in 2002.
(3)Boko Haram kidnapped over 200 female students on April 14, 2014, killed over 50 male students on
February 25, 2014, and continues to violently attack innocent civilians
throughout Nigeria.
(4)Boko Haram has previously attacked Western interests, bombing the United Nations building in Abuja
on August 26, 2011, and was affiliated with taking Western hostages in
Bauchi on February 16, 2013, and later killing seven hostages.
(5)As stated by United States Ambassador to Nigeria Terrence P. McCulley in 2012, the threat of Boko
Haram is growing: Weve seen an increase in sophistication, we
ve seen increased lethality. We saw at least a part of the group has decided it’s in their interest
to attack the international community.
.
(6)In June 2012, the Department of State added three leaders of Boko Haram, Abubakar Shekau, Abubakar
Adam Kambar, and Khalid al-Barnawi, to the Specially Designated Global
Terrorist list.
(7)In November 2013, the Department of State designated Boko Haram and its splinter group, Ansaru, as
Foreign Terrorist Organizations.
(8)Boko Haram shares the ideological designs of al Qaeda, and has made public pledges of support to
Osama bin Laden, al-Qaeda, and al-Shabaab.
(9)Boko Haram poses a broader threat to interests in Nigeria, the Sahel, Europe, and the United
States.
(b)In light of the findings specified in subsection (a), it is the sense of Congress that the
Secretary of Defense should—
(1)take appropriate action with allies and partners of the United States to fight Boko Haram’s
violence and ideology;
(2)partner with Nigeria’s regional neighbors to counter Boko Haram’s cross-border activity and respond
to emerging threats; and
(3)develop a long-term, interagency strategy to combat Boko Haram and Ansaru, reassess United States
assistance to Nigeria, and brief Congress on this strategy.
1271.Recognition of victims of Soviet Communist and Nazi regimes
(a)Congress makes the following findings:
(1)On August 13, 1941, President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Prime Minister Winston Churchill issued a
joint declaration of certain common principles in the national policies of their respective countries on which they
based their hopes for a better future for the world
and the right of all peoples to choose the form of government under which they will live and self
government restored to those who have been forcibly deprived of them
and that the people of countries may live in freedom.
(2)The United States Government has actively advocated for and continues to support the principles of
the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the United
Nations General Assembly resolution 260 (III) of December 9, 1948.
(3)Captive Nations Week, signed into law by President Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1959, raised public
awareness of the oppression of nations under the control of Communist and
other nondemocratic governments.
(4)The European Parliament resolution on European conscience and totalitarianism of April 2, 2009, and
the Black Ribbon Day
resolution adopted by the Parliament of Canada on November 30, 2009, establish a day of
remembrance for victims of Communist and Nazi regimes to remember and
commemorate their victims.
(5)On the 70th anniversary of the formal adoption by the Nazi leadership of the Final Solution of the Jewish Problem
, members of the European Parliament and the national parliaments of the European Union rejected
attempts to obfuscate the Holocaust by persons who sought to diminish the
uniqueness of the Holocaust by deeming the Holocaust to be equal, similar,

the perpetrators, and lay the foundation for reconciliation based on truth

treaty in a manner that ensures the nuclear forces of the United States—
(1)are capable, survivable, and balanced; and
(2)maintain strategic stability, deterrence and extended deterrence, and allied assurance.
1636.Findings and statement of policy on the nuclear triad
(a)Congress finds the following:
(1)The April 2010 Nuclear Posture Review stated—
(A)After considering a wide range of possible options for the U.S. strategic nuclear posture,
including some that involved eliminating a leg of the Triad, the NPR
concluded that for planned reductions under New START, the United States
should retain a smaller Triad of SLBMs [submarine launched ballistic
missiles], ICBMs [intercontinental ballistic missiles], and heavy bombers.
Retaining all three Triad legs will best maintain strategic stability at
reasonable cost, while hedging against potential technical problems or
vulnerabilities.
;
(B)ICBMs provide significant advantages to the U.S. nuclear force posture, including extremely secure
command and control, high readiness rates, and relatively low operating
costs.
;
(C)a survivable U.S. response force requires continuous at-sea deployments of SSBNs [ballistic missile
submarines] in both the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, as well as the
ability to surge additional submarines in crisis.
; and
(D)nuclear-capable bombers—
(i)[provide] a rapid and effective hedge against technical challenges with another leg of the Triad,
as well as geopolitical uncertainties
; and
(ii)are important to extended deterrence of potential attacks on U.S. allies and partners.
.
(2)In a letter to the Senate on February 2, 2011, regarding the New START Treaty, President Obama
stated that I intend to modernize or replace the triad of strategic nuclear delivery systems: a heavy bomber
and air- launched cruise missile, an ICBM, and a nuclear-powered ballistic
missile submarine (SSBN) and SLBM.
.
(3)In the Resolution Of Advice And Consent To Ratification of the New START Treaty, the Senate stated
that it is the sense of the Senate that United States deterrence and flexibility is assured by a robust
triad of strategic delivery vehicles. To this end, the United States is
committed to accomplishing the modernization and replacement of its
strategic nuclear delivery vehicles, and to ensuring the continued
flexibility of United States conventional and nuclear delivery systems.
.
(4)On June 19, 2013, the Secretary of Defense, Chuck Hagel, stated, First, the U.S. will maintain a ready and credible deterrent. Second, we will retain a triad of
bombers, ICBMs, and ballistic missile submarines. Third, we will make sure
that our nuclear weapons remain safe, secure, ready and effective.
.
(5)Section 1062 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014 (Public Law 113–66; 10
U.S.C. 495 note) states that—
(A)It is the policy of the United States to modernize or replace the triad of strategic nuclear
delivery systems
; and
(B)Congress supports the modernization or replacement of the triad of strategic nuclear delivery
systems consisting of a heavy bomber and air-launched cruise missile, an
intercontinental ballistic missile, and a ballistic missile submarine and
submarine launched ballistic missile
.
(6)On March 6, 2014, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Martin Dempsey, testified to
the Committee on Armed Services of the House of Representatives that the
Joint Chiefs of Staff have determined that our recommendation is to remain firmly committed to the triad, the three legs of the nuclear
capability, and that any further reduction should be done only through
negotiations, not unilaterally, and that we should commit to modernizing
the stockpile while we have it.
.
(7)On April 2, 2014, the Commander of United States Strategic Command, Admiral Cecil Haney, testified
to the Committee on Armed Services of the House of Representatives that First and foremost, I think it is important that we as a country realize just how important and
foundational our strategic deterrent is today for us and well into the
future. As you have mentioned, there is a need for modernization in a
variety of areas. When you look at the credible strategic deterrent we
have today, that includes everything from the indications and warning, to
the command and control and communication structure that goes all the way
from the President down to the units, and to what frequently we talk about
as the triad involving the intercontinental ballistic missiles, the
submarines, and the bombers—each providing its unique aspect of
deterrence.
.
(8)In the June 2013 Report on Nuclear Employment Strategy of the United States required by section 491
of title 10, United States Code, the Secretary of Defense, on behalf of
the President, stated that the United States will maintain a nuclear Triad, consisting of ICBMs, SLBMs, and nuclear-capable
heavy bombers. Retaining all three Triad legs will best maintain strategic
stability at reasonable cost, while hedging against potential technical
problems or vulnerabilities. These forces should be operated on a
day-to-day basis in a manner that maintains strategic stability with
Russia and China, deters potential regional adversaries, and assures U.S.
Allies and partners.
.
(b)It is the policy of the United States—
(1)to operate, sustain, and modernize or replace the triad of strategic nuclear delivery systems
consisting of—
(A)heavy bombers equipped with nuclear gravity bombs and air-launched nuclear cruise missiles;
(B)land-based intercontinental ballistic missiles equipped with nuclear warheads that are capable of
carrying multiple independently targetable reentry vehicles; and
(C)ballistic missile submarines equipped with submarine launched ballistic missiles and multiple
nuclear warheads.
(2)to operate, sustain, and modernize or replace a capability to forward-deploy nuclear weapons and
dual-capable fighter-bomber aircraft;
(3)to deter potential adversaries and assure allies and partners of the United States through strong
and long-term commitment to the nuclear deterrent of the United States and
the personnel, systems, and infrastructure that comprise such deterrent;
and
(4)to ensure the members of the Armed Forces that operate the nuclear deterrent of the United States
have the training, resources, and national support required to execute the
critical national security mission of the members.
1637.Improvement to biennial assessment on delivery platforms for nuclear weapons and the nuclear
command and control systemSection 492(a)(1) of title 10, United States Code, is amended by inserting , and the ability to meet operational availability requirements for,

Range Nuclear Forces Treaty. We’ve raised the issue with Russia. They
provided an answer that was not satisfactory to us, and we will, we told
them that the issue is not closed, and we will continue to raise this.
Congress shares this concern regarding Russian behavior that is inconsistent with
or in violation or circumvention of the INF Treaty.
(2)The Commander of the United States European Command, and Supreme Allied Commander Europe, stated on
April 2, 2014, that a weapon capability that violates the INF, that is introduced into the greater European land mass
is absolutely a tool that will have to be dealt with * * * I would not
judge how the alliance will choose to react, but I would say they will
have to consider what to do about it * * * It can’t go unanswered.
.
(3)The Director of the Missile Defense Agency stated on March 25, 2014, that Aegis Ashore missile
defense sites, including those to be deployed in the Republic of Poland

Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty Between the United States of
America and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics
provided to the Committee on Armed Services of the House of Representatives in September 2013 by
the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff stated, [i]n the absence of the INF Treaty, four types of weapons systems could assist in closing the
existing JROC-validated capability gap: (1) Modifications to existing
short range or tactical weapon systems to extend range; (2) Forward-based,
ground-launched cruise missiles (GLCMs); (3) Forward-based,
ground-launched intermediate-range ballistic missiles (IRBMs); and (4)
Forward-based, ground-launched intermediate-range missiles with trajectory
shaping vehicles (TSVs).
.
(5)The report further stated that, [b]ecause of INF restrictions, examination of prohibited concepts has not been performed by
industry or the Services. Trade studies regarding capability,
affordability, and development timelines would have to be completed prior
to providing an accurate estimate of cost, technology risk, and timeline
advantages that could be achieved with respect to these concepts.
Extensive knowledge could be leveraged from past and current land- and
sea-based systems to assist in potential development and deployment of
these currently prohibited concepts.

2015, the Secretary submits to the congressional defense committees a
detailed justification for such adjustment, including—
(A)the amount of the adjustment and the proposed total cost of Phase I;
(B)a detailed justification for such adjustment, including a description of the changes that would be
required to the project referred to in subsection (a) if Phase I were to
not exceed the total cost set forth in paragraph (1);
(C)a detailed description of the actions taken to hold appropriate contractors, employees of
contractors, and employees of the Federal Government accountable for the
repeated failures within the project;
(D)a description of the clear lines of responsibility, authority, and accountability for the project
as the project continues, including descriptions of the roles and
responsibilities for each key Federal and contractor position; and
(E)a detailed description of the structural reforms planned or implemented by the Secretary to ensure
Phase I is executed on time and on schedule.

the Department of Energy that the Chairman determines should be redirected
to enable the Department of Energy to meet the total cost and schedule
described in subparagraphs (A) and (B) of such paragraph.;
(2)in subsection (e), by adding at the end the following new paragraph:
(3)Not later than March 1, 2015, the Secretary of Energy and the Secretary of the Navy shall jointly
submit to the congressional defense committees a report detailing the
implementation of paragraphs (1) and (2), including—

3114.Plutonium pit production capacity
(a)Congress finds the following:
(1)In 2008, the Department of Defense and the Department of Energy, acting through the Nuclear Weapons
Council established by section 179 of title 10, United States Code, agreed
on a strategy to balance cost, risk, and stockpile needs and established
the requirement for the Department of Energy to produce 50 to 80 plutonium
pits per year.
(2)In a memorandum of agreement dated May 3, 2010, entered into by the Secretary of Defense and the
Secretary of Energy, the Secretaries agreed that the Department of Energy
would achieve a minimum pit production capacity of 50 to 80 pits per year
by 2022.
(3)The current plans of the Secretary of Energy would achieve a pit production capacity of 50 to 80
pits per year by 2031, resulting in a delay of nearly a decade as compared
to the agreement described in paragraph (2).
(4)In a report dated January 14, 2014, that the Secretary of Defense submitted to Congress, the
Secretary stated that the Department of Defense has revalidated its requirement for 50 – 80 pits per year based on the
demands of stockpile modernization, the commitments to a modern physical
infrastructure, and the ability to hedge against technical failure or
geopolitical risk.
.
(b)It is the sense of Congress that—
(1)the requirement to create a modern, responsive nuclear infrastructure that includes the capability
and capacity to produce, at minimum, 50 to 80 pits per year, is a national
security priority;
(2)delaying creation of a modern, responsive nuclear infrastructure until the 2030s is an unacceptable
risk to the nuclear deterrent and the national security of the United
States; and
(3)timelines for creating certain capacities for production of plutonium pits and other nuclear
weapons components must be driven by the requirement to hedge against
technical and geopolitical risk and not solely by the needs of life
extension programs.
(c)
(1)Title XLII of the Atomic Energy Defense Act (50 U.S.C. 2521 et seq.) is amended by inserting after
the item relating to section 4218 the following new section:

(3)during a pilot period of not less than 90 days during 2027, demonstrates the capability to produce
war reserve plutonium pits at a rate sufficient to produce 80 pits per
year.
(b)Not later than March 1, 2015, and each year thereafter through 2027, the Secretary shall certify to
the congressional defense committees and the Secretary of Defense that the
programs and budget of the Secretary will enable the nuclear security
enterprise to meet the requirements under subsection (a).
(c)If the Secretary does not make a certification by March 1 of any year in which a certification is
required under subsection (b), by not later than May 1 of such year, the
Chairman of the Nuclear Weapons Council shall submit to the congressional
defense committees a plan to enable the nuclear security enterprise to
meet the requirements under subsection (b). Such plan shall include
identification of the resources of the Department of Energy that the
Chairman determines should be redirected to support the plan to meet such
requirements..

supports nearly 500,000 jobs, and provides nearly 100 billion in annual
economic output;
(2)the Nation’s military sealift capacity will benefit from one of the fastest growing segments of the
domestic trades, 14 domestic trade tankers that are on order to be
constructed at United States shipyards as of February 1, 2014;
(3)the domestic trades’ vessel innovations that transformed worldwide maritime commerce include the
development of containerships, self-unloading vessels, articulated
tug-barges, trailer barges, chemical parcel tankers, railroad-on-barge
carfloats, and river flotilla towing systems;
(4)the national security benefits of the domestic maritime industry are unquestioned as the Department
of Defense depends on United States domestic trades’ fleet of container
ships, roll-on/roll-off ships, and product tankers to carry military
cargoes;
(5)the Department of Defense benefits from a robust commercial shipyard and ship repair industry and
current growth in that sector is particularly important as Federal budget
cuts may reduce the number of new constructed military vessels; and
(6)the domestic fleet is essential to national security and was a primary source of mariners needed to
crew United States Government-owned sealift vessels activated from reserve
status during Operations Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom in the period
2002 through 2010.

maritime industry, which supports the national security and economic
vitality of the United States and the efficient operation of the United
States transportation system.
