SEC. 267. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON DUAL USE INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY FOR THE 
              ROBOTIC COMBAT VEHICLE OF THE ARMY.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) The Army is developing the Robotic Combat Vehicle using 
        a sound and innovative acquisition strategy. The Robotic Combat 
        Vehicle program is leveraging dual-use commercial innovation 
        for its autonomous driving system.
            (2) The Army's Robotic Combat Vehicle Software Pathways 
        program will take an agile and phased approach to the ultimate 
        solution, which is an autonomous, artificial intelligence-based 
        navigation software. The technical focus will be on developing 
        robust software pathways for the Army to conduct vehicle 
        navigation in increasingly complex terrain, diverse operational 
        conditions, and GPS-challenged environments, while still 
        providing the ability to remotely operate the vehicle.
            (3) The Army's acquisition strategy for the Robotic Combat 
        Vehicle is smartly separating the platform ground combat 
        vehicle prototypes from the autonomous software system. This 
        approach is standard in the private sector and modern product 
        development. With this approach, the Robotic Combat Vehicle 
        program is establishing a blueprint for future autonomous 
        development programs of the Department of Defense.
            (4) By using this dual acquisition approach, the Army will 
        receive the best value for the taxpayer as it will leverage 
        private sector investments made on autonomous software and 
        create an interoperable software stack for use on future 
        applications.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) the Army should continue to use the software 
        acquisition pathway approach and leverage dual-use, innovative 
        commercial technology for the Robotic Combat Vehicle program;
            (2) the Army should consider a similar framework for future 
        ground vehicle programs, such as the Optionally Manned Fighting 
        Vehicle program and the Common Tactical Truck program; and
            (3) the other Armed Forces should consider using a similar 
        dual acquisition approach for their autonomous ground vehicle 
        programs.

SEC. 274. DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE SPECTRUM CERTIFICATION.

    (a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) use of Link 16 is vitally important to national 
        defense;
            (2) the 2002 Memorandum of Agreement signed between the 
        Department of Defense and Department of Transporatation 
        regarding Link 16 use in the 960-1215 MHz frequency band, 
        resulted in the Departments jointly developing a methodology to 
        facilitate Electromagnectic Compatability Features (EMCF) 
        certification which ensures frequency deconfliction of Link 16 
        from air traffic systems;
            (3) in 2009 the Department of Defense was endorsed to 
        certify all future Link 16 terminals, eliminating the need for 
        NTIA EMCF demonstrations;
            (4) recent issues between Department of Defense and Federal 
        Aviaiton Administration coordination over Electromagnetic 
        Compatability Features along with the expanded use of software 
        defined radios and agile software practices within the 
        Department of Defense have caused significant delays to needed 
        national security capabilities, detremintal training impacts, 
        Department of Defense safety risks that adversely impact 
        national security, incur excess taxpayer expense, and make 
        current certification processes incompatable with maintaining 
        spectrum dominance over adversary nations;
            (5) the Department of Defense is responsible for the 
        testing of numerous systems and has the requesit knowledge, 
        experience, and expertise to conduct self-certification of 
        Department radio systems and are currently performing the 
        testing required to support radio system certification;
            (6) only those changes, hardware or software based, that 
        impact EMCF of a Department of Defense radio should require 
        recertification IAW Appendix A of The Department of Defense and 
        Department of Transportation Memorandum of Agreement Regarding 
        the 960-1215 MHz Frequency Band and that the weapon system 
        program manager is best positioned to make the determination of 
        any impacts hardware or software changes may have;
            (7) the Joint Tactical Information Distribution System/
        Multi-Function Information Distribution System (Link 16) 
        Certification of Spectrum Support and NTIA Manual of 
        Regulations for Federal Radiofrequency Spectrum Management 
        grants approval for uncoordinated operations of Link 16 systems 
        if meeting certain restrictions; authorizing the Department of 
        Defenese to internally manage Link 16 use on certified systems 
        subject to documented restrictions;
            (8) Link 16 use not meeting requirements for uncoordinated 
        operations can be approved if coordinated with the FAA;
            (9) in over 45 years of use, there are no recorded 
        instances of Department of Defense use of Link 16 causing 
        interference with air traffic systems; and
            (10) as agreed to by both the Department of Defense and 
        Federal Aviation Administration, Link 16 policies must be 
        updated to keep pace with agile development practices and 
        ensure safe and effective spectrum dominance for national 
        defense.
    (b) Policies Required.--The Secretary of Defense shall develop and 
implement policies to adapt Link 16 system management and certification 
to align with agile development practices.
    (c) Elements.--The policies required by subsection (b) shall 
include the following:
            (1) A standardized process through a Chairman, Joint Chiefs 
        of Staff Manual, to allow Link 16 frequency use within approved

        and associated software that have not completed electromagnetic 
        compatibility features certification.
                    (A) Such processes shall at minimum ensure routine 
                and continued approval for test operations of 
                developmental systems in the Nevada Test and Training 
                Range, Restricted Area 2508, Warning Area 151/470, 
                Warning Area 386, and the Joint Pacific Alaska Range 
                Complex.
                    (B) Standardized mitigations that enable routine 
                approval including effective radiated power settings 
                and coordination for rapid test termination may be 
                considered.
            (2) Processes to streamline approval or denial of temporary 
        frequency assignment for Link 16 operations to not more than 15 
        days for test, training, and large-scale exercises.
                    (A) Such processes shall cover operations in excess 
                of uncoordinated operations time slot duty factor 
                limits, inclusion of foreign participants, and 
                participation of non-stage 4 approved terminals or 
                platforms.
                    (B) Consideration shall be given to delegation of 
                sole authority for temporary frequency assignment to 
                the Department of Defense and the automation of such 
                decision-making process.
            (3) Delegation of authority to the system program manager 
        to determine when new software within Department Link 16 
        terminals affect electromagnetic compatibility features and 
        requires recertification.
            (4) The self-certification of Department radio compliance 
        with electromagnetic compatibility features.
            (5) Processes to internally manage Link 16 uncoordinated 
        operations that enable approval for test, training, and 
        exercises that does not exceed 15 days for systems holding an 
        active radio frequency authorization or temporary frequency 
        assignment.
    (d) Information to Congress.--Not later than 180 days after the 
date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall provide to the 
congressional defense committees--
            (1) a briefing on the policies developed pursuant to

            (2) a list of such additional resources or authorities as 
        the Secretary determines may be required to implement such 
        policies.
    (e) Testing Required.--
            (1) In general.--The Department of Defense shall conduct, 
        sponsor, or review testing and analysis that determines if any 
        effects on commercial air traffic systems are possible due to 
        Link 16 terminals which have not completed electromagnetic 
        compatibility features certification and quantifies any such 
        effects. Such testing shall evaluate Link 16 transmission 
        within plus or minus 7 megahertz of the 1030 and 1090 megahertz 
        frequency bands to determine if effects on commercial air 
        traffic systems are possible, under what conditions such 
        effects could occur, and the impact of such effects.
            (2) Report.--Not later than 180 days after the date of the 
        enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall provide the 
        congressional defense committees a report on the results of the 
        testing conducted pursuant to paragraph (1), with an emphasis 
        on procedures that can and will be implemented to negate 
        harmful effects on commercial air traffic from the use of Link

personnel action prohibited under subsection (b). Such circumstantial

under subsection (b) has occurred and that such personnel action shall

the military department concerned or the Secretary of Homeland 
Security, as applicable, of the hardship, and such Secretary shall take 
such action as such Secretary determines appropriate.''.

              GRIFFIN FOR ACTS OF VALOR AS A MEMBER OF THE ARMY DURING 
              THE VIETNAM WAR.

    (a) Acts of Valor Described.--Congress recognizes the following 
acts of valor by Thomas Helmut Griffin:
            (1) Thomas Helmut Griffin distinguished himself by valorous 
        actions against overwhelming odds while serving as a captain in 
        the Army, Senior Advisor, 4/5 Infantry Battalion, 2nd Infantry 
        Division, Army of the Republic of Vietnam.
            (2) From March 1, 1969 through March 3, 1969, during the 
        Vietnam War, such battalion was ordered to forestall an 
        imminent attack on Quang Ngai City threatened by units of the 
        North Vietnamese Army (hereinafter, ``NVA''). The 4/5 Battalion 
        engaged unabatedly with an entrenched NVA regiment over the 
        course of three days. Captain Griffin (hereinafter, ``CPT 
        Griffin'') risked his life and disregarded his personal safety, 
        all above and beyond his duty, on some 20 occasions, to lead 
        his battalion in the fight as well as direct gunships, air, and 
        artillery strikes on the enemy positions.
            (3) During the initial phase of battle, CPT Griffin made 
        numerous trips across 50 meters of open ground, while under 
        heavy automatic weapon, rocket, and small arms fire, to advise 
        on the conduct of the battle and better direct strikes against 
        enemy forces. Fearing slaughter of his soldiers, CPT Griffin, 
        with one of his counterparts from the Army of the Republic of 
        Vietnam (hereinafter, ``ARVN''), charged directly into heavy 
        enemy fire and assaulted a machine gun bunker. CPT Griffin 
        continued these runs, despite the enemy shooting the heels off 
        CPT Griffin's boots.
            (4) After taking out the NVA bunker, CPT Griffin brandished 
        the captured machine gun and rocket launcher to exhort his 
        battalion out of the kill zone and continue the assault into 
        the enemy entrenchments while remaining exposed to heavy fire. 
        CPT Griffin's raw and intense close combat leadership 
        galvanized his battalion to move out of the kill zone and 
        continue their mission.
            (5) CPT Griffin's ARVN counterpart was struck by close 
        fire, and CPT Griffin unhesitatingly carried the wounded 
        commander to safety while shielding him with his own body 
        against rocket and artillery fire. CPT Griffin proceeded to 
        carry four more wounded soldiers to safety while protecting 
        them with his own body, returning each time against devastating 
        enemy fire. While leading the final attack, CPT Griffin was hit 
        three times in the chest by enemy small arms fire, yet 
        continued to lead at the forefront of his battalion until the 
        mission was completed. Under CPT Griffin's command and 
        leadership, the 4/5 Battalion continued to reduce the enemy 
        regiment's fighting capacity.
            (6) CPT Griffin's personal leadership in intense close 
        combat resulted in a major win for his battalion against 
        overwhelming odds, killing 93 enemy soldiers and saving the 
        lives of over 300 allied soldiers by galvanizing and leading 
        them out of the kill zone.
            (7) CPT Griffin's selfless devotion to duty, his 
        extraordinary heroism, conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity, 
        and numerous risks of his life above and beyond the call of 
        duty, are all in keeping with the highest traditions of the 
        Army, and reflect great credit on himself, the Armed Forces, 
        and the United States.
    (b) Findings.--Congress finds the following with regards to the 
original decision to award a Silver Star to Thomas Helmut Griffin:
            (1) When awarding him the Silver Star, CPT Griffin's chain 
        of command was unaware of the full extent of his valorous 
        actions and the numerous risks he took for his soldiers, all 
        above and beyond the call of duty.
            (2) Congress notes that although CPT Griffin was struck 
        three times by enemy fire, and at one point was completely 
        surrounded by the enemy, he continued to fight and lead his 
        battalion against devastating and overwhelming enemy fire.
            (3) Congress notes that CPT Griffin's Commanding Officer, 
        Colonel Dean E. Hutter (ret.), sent a letter to the Department 
        of the Army dated November 6, 2013, in which he accounts for 
        the revelation of additional, substantive and material evidence 
        not known at the time of the decision to award the Silver Star, 
        and in which he describes as compelling ``the justice of 
        upgrading CPT Griffin's sustained and varied acts of combat 
        valor to their rightful level of recognition, the Medal of 
        Honor''.
            (4) Congress further notes that Colonel Hutter issued a 
        letter to former United States Representative Sam Farr on 
        September 15, 2011, noting his support for an upgrade from a 
        Silver Star to a Medal of Honor, having recognized CPT 
        Griffin's acts of valor as, ``numerous, selfless demonstrations 
        of personal risk in pressing a close-combat attack against a 
        well-entrenched element of a battalion-size enemy formation''.
    (c) Authorization of Award of Medal of Honor to Thomas Helmut 
Griffin for Acts of Valor as a Member of the Army During the Vietnam 
War.--
            (1) Authorization.--Notwithstanding the time limitations 
        specified in section 7274 of title 10, United States Code, or 
        any other time limitation with respect to the awarding of 
        certain medals to persons who served in the Armed Forces, the 
        President is authorized to award the Medal of Honor, under 
        section 7271 of such title, to Thomas Helmut Griffin for the 
        acts of valor described in subsection (b).
            (2) Acts of valor described.--The acts of valor described 
        in this subsection are the actions of Thomas H. Griffin during 
        the period of March 1 through March 3, 1969, while serving as a 
        captain in the Army during the Vietnam War, for which he was 
        previously awarded the Silver Star.

            (2) Explosion welding employs hundreds of highly skilled 
        workers within the United States.
            (3) Explosion welded alloys can be found in every major

        domestic source for explosion welding to support United States 
        military needs.

        Subtitle D--Matters Relating to Russia, Europe, and NATO

SEC. 1231. STATEMENT OF POLICY RELATING TO NATO-RUSSIA FOUNDING ACT.

    It is the policy of the United States that the agreement titled 
``Founding Act on Mutual Relations, Cooperation and Security between 
NATO and the Russian Federation'', done at Paris on May 27, 1997 
(commonly referred to as the ``NATO-Russia Founding Act''), does not--
            (1) prohibit the establishment of a permanent presence of 
        the United States Armed Forces in Europe; or
            (2) constrain in any manner the deployment of United States 
        Armed Forces or North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) 
        forces.

SEC. 1232. STRATEGY TO DELAY, DISRUPT, AND DEGRADE ROSATOM'S 
              PROLIFERATION ACTIVITIES AND OTHER REVENUE STREAMS.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) Russia's state-owned nuclear energy corporation, 
        Rosatom, is providing the People's Republic of China highly 
        enriched uranium for Chinese Communist Party fast-breeder 
        reactors.
            (2) The Department of Defense's 2022 report to Congress on 
        the Military and Security Developments Involving the People's 
        Republic of China noted the key role that increased weapons-
        grade plutonium production is key to China's nuclear program, 
        stating: ``The PRC is also supporting this expansion by 
        increasing its capacity to produce and separate plutonium by 
        constructing fast breeder reactors and reprocessing 
        facilities.''. The report also cites the CFR-600 reactors and 
        notes that each reactor will be capable of producing ``enough 
        plutonium for dozens of nuclear warheads annually''. This 
        buildup puts China in violation of Article VI of the Treaty on 
        the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, requiring states to 
        make good-faith efforts to cease an arms race and to engage in 
        good-faith arms control negotiations.
            (3) There are also credible reports that ``Russia's state 
        nuclear power conglomerate has been working to supply the 
        Russian arms industry with components, technology and raw 
        materials for missile(s)''. Specifically, a letter from a 
        Rosatom department chief, dated October 2022, shows Rosatom 
        offering to provide goods to Russian military units and to 
        Russian weapons manufacturers that are under sanctions.
            (4) The United States Government has taken steps against 
        Rosatom, such as sanctioning three Rosatom subsidiaries on 
        February 24, 2023, and speaking out publicly against Rosatom's 
        behavior.
            (5) Assistant Secretary of Defense for Space Policy, Dr. 
        John F. Plumb, testified before the House Armed Services 
        Subcommittee on Strategic Forces on March 8, 2023, that ``It's 
        very troubling to see Russia and China cooperating on this . . 
        . They may have talking points around it, but there's no 
        getting around the fact that breeder reactors are plutonium, 
        and plutonium is for weapons. So, I think the [Defense] 
        Department is concerned. And of course, it matches our concerns 
        about China's increased expansion of its nuclear forces as 
        well, because you need more plutonium for more weapons.''.
    (b) Strategy.--Not later than 90 days after the date of the 
enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with 
the Secretary of State, the Secretary of the Treasury, and the 
Secretary of Energy, with the assistance of the Director of National 
Intelligence, shall submit to the appropriate congressional committees 
a strategy to delay, disrupt, and degrade Rosatom's and other Russian 
state-owned entities' proliferation activities and other revenue 
streams that directly fund Russia's military forces.
    (c) Appropriate Congressional Committees Defined.--In subsection 
(b), the term ``appropriate congressional committees'' means--
            (1) the Committee on Armed Services, the Committee on 
        Foreign Affairs, the Committee on Energy and Commerce, the 
        Committee on Financial Services, and the Permanent Select 
        Committee on Intelligence of the House of Representatives; and
            (2) the Committee on Armed Services, the Committee on 
        Foreign Affairs, the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, 
        the Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs, and the 
        Select Committee on Intelligence of the Senate.

SEC. 1233. BALTIC SECURITY INITIATIVE.

    (a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) supporting and strengthening the security of the Baltic 
        states of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania is in the national 
        security interests of the United States;
            (2) the United States and the Baltic states are leaders in 
        the mission of defending independence and democracy from 
        aggression and in promoting stability and security within the 
        North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), with non-NATO 
        partners, and with other international organizations such as 
        the European Union;
            (3) the Baltic states are model NATO allies in terms of 
        burden sharing, investing over 2 percent of their gross 
        domestic product on defense expenditure, allocating over 20 
        percent of their defense budgets on capital modernization, 
        matching security assistance from the United States, frequently 
        deploying their forces around the world in support of allied 
        and United States objectives, and sharing diplomatic, 
        technical, military, and analytical expertise on defense and 
        security matters;
            (4) the United States should pursue consistent efforts 
        focused on defense and security assistance, coordination, and 
        planning, such as the United States Baltic Dialogue, designed 
        to ensure the continued security of the Baltic states and on 
        deterring current and future challenges to the national 
        sovereignty of United States allies and partners in the Baltic 
        region;
            (5) the Secretary of Defense and Secretary of State should 
        seek to require matching funds from those Baltic states in 
        amounts commensurate with amounts provided.
    (b) Strategy.--Not later than one year after the date of the 
enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense, with the concurrence 
of the Secretary of State, shall submit to the appropriate 
congressional committees a report setting forth a strategy to deepen 
security cooperation with the Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia, and 
Lithuania to--
            (1) achieve United States national security strategy 
        objectives;
            (2) enhance regional planning and cooperation among Baltic 
        states, particularly with respect to long-term regional 
        capability projects; and
            (3) enhance the Baltic states' defenses and resiliency.
    (c) Appropriate Congressional Committees Defined.--In this section, 
the term ``appropriate congressional committees'' means--
            (1) the Committee on Armed Services and the Committee on 
        Foreign Affairs of the House of Representatives; and
            (2) the Committee on Armed Services and the Committee on 
        Foreign Relations of the Senate.

SEC. 1234. PROHIBITION ON NEW START TREATY INFORMATION SHARING.

    (a) Prohibition.--None of the funds authorized to be appropriated 
by this Act or otherwise made available for fiscal year 2024 for the 
Department of Defense may be used to provide the Russian Federation 
with notifications as required by the New START Treaty.

subsection (a) on a case-by-case basis if the Secretary of Defense 
certifies to the appropriate congressional committees in writing, 30 
days in advance of exercising such a waiver, that--
            (1) the waiver is in the national security interest of the 
        United States; and
            (2) the Russian Federation is providing similar information 
        to the United States as required by the New START Treaty.
    (c) Definitions.--In this section--
            (1) the term ``appropriate congressional committees'' 
        means--
                    (A) the Committee on Armed Services and the 
                Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House of 
                Representatives; and
                    (B) the Committee on Armed Services and the 
                Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate; and
            (2) the term ``New START Treaty'' means the Treaty between 
        the United States of America and the Russian Federation on 
        Measures for the Further Reduction and Limitation of Strategic 
        Offensive Arms, signed at Prague April 8, 2010, and entered 
        into force February 5, 2011.

SEC. 1235. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON DEFENSE BY NATO MEMBER STATES.

    It is the sense of Congress that each North Atlantic Treaty 
Organization (NATO) member state should commit to providing, at a 
minimum, 2 percent of its Gross Domestic Product (GDP) to defense to 
continue to ensure NATO's military readiness.

SEC. 1303. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON SOUTH KOREA.

    It is the sense of Congress that the Secretary of Defense should 
reinforce the United States alliance with the Republic of Korea, 
including by maintaining the presence of approximately 28,500 members 
of the United States Armed Forces deployed to the country and affirming 
the United States commitment to extended deterrence using the full 
range of United States defense capabilities, and with deeper 
coordination on nuclear deterrence as highlighted in the Washington 
Declaration adopted by the two leaders during President Yoon Suk Yeol's 
state visit on April 26, 2023, consistent with the Mutual Defense 
Treaty Between the United States and the Republic of Korea, signed at 
Washington, October 1, 1953, in support of the shared objective of a 
peaceful and stable Korean Peninsula and a free, peaceful, and 
prosperous Indo-Pacific region.

SEC. 1304. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON TAIWAN DEFENSE RELATIONS.

    It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) the Taiwan Relations Act (Public Law 96-8; 22 U.S.C. et 
        seq.) and the Six Assurances provided by the United States to 
        Taiwan in July 1982 are the foundation for United States-Taiwan 
        relations;
            (2) as set forth in the Taiwan Relations Act, the United 
        States decision to establish diplomatic relations with the 
        People's Republic of China rests upon the expectation that the 
        future of Taiwan will be determined by peaceful means, and that 
        any effort to determine the future of Taiwan by other than 
        peaceful means, including boycotts and embargoes, is of grave 
        concern to the United States;
            (3) the increasingly coercive and aggressive behavior of 
        the People's Republic of China toward Taiwan is contrary to the 
        expectation of the peaceful resolution of the future of Taiwan;
            (4) as set forth in the Taiwan Relations Act, the capacity 
        to resist any resort to force or other forms of coercion that 
        would jeopardize the security, or the social or economic 
        system, of the people on Taiwan should be maintained;
            (5) the United States should continue to support the 
        development of capable, ready, and modern defense forces 
        necessary for Taiwan to maintain sufficient defensive 
        capabilities, including by--
                    (A) supporting acquisition by Taiwan of defense 
                articles and services through foreign military sales, 
                direct commercial sales, and industrial cooperation, 
                with an emphasis on capabilities that support an 
                asymmetric strategy;
                    (B) ensuring timely review of and response to 
                requests of Taiwan for defense articles and services;
                    (C) conducting practical training and military 
                exercises with Taiwan that enable Taiwan to maintain 
                sufficient defensive capabilities, as described in the 
                Taiwan Relations Act;
                    (D) exchanges between defense officials and 
                officers of the United States and Taiwan at the 
                strategic, policy, and functional levels, consistent 
                with the Taiwan Travel Act (Public Law 115-135; 132 
                Stat. 341), especially for the purposes of--
                            (i) enhancing cooperation on defense 
                        planning;
                            (ii) improving the interoperability of the 
                        military forces of the United States and 
                        Taiwan; and
                            (iii) improving the reserve force of 
                        Taiwan;
                    (E) cooperating with Taiwan to improve its ability 
                to employ military capabilities in asymmetric ways, as 
                described in the Taiwan Relations Act; and
                    (F) expanding cooperation in humanitarian 
                assistance and disaster relief; and
            (6) the United States should increase its support to a free 
        and open society in the face of aggressive efforts by the 
        Government of the People's Republic of China to curtail or 
        influence the free exercise of rights and democratic franchise.

    (a) Prohibition on Procurement Pending Certification Regarding 
Commercial Providers.--The Secretary of the Air Force may not issue a 
contract for the procurement of a WGS-12 satellite until the Assistant 
Secretary of the Air Force for Space Acquisitions and Integration 
submits to the congressional defense committees certification that the 
requirements established by the Department for the primary payload for 
the WGS-12 satellite cannot be met by a commercial provider.
    (b) Prohibition on Operation or Launch.--None of the funds 
authorized to be appropriated by this Act or otherwise made available 
for fiscal year 2024 for the Department of Defense may be obligated or 
expended to operate or launch WGS-12 satellite.

SEC. 1606. LIMITATION ON USE OF FUNDS PENDING SUBMISSION OF CERTAIN 
              REPORTS ON SPACE POLICY.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Congress established the office of Assistant Secretary 
        of Defense for Space Policy in 2019 at the same time as the 
        Space Force was established.
            (2) Despite elevating the position, the office has 
        repeatedly not responded to mandates by Congress for 
        unclassified reports on space policy topics.
            (3) The threats to and from space by China and Russia have 
        only increased since the establishment of the Assistant 
        Secretary of Defense for Space Policy and the Space Force.
            (4) The Secretary of Defense has yet to submit to the 
        congressional defense committees the report required by section 
        1609(c) of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
        Year 2022 (Public Law 117-81; 10 U.S.C. 2271 note) or the 
        report required by section 1611(c)(1) of such Act.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) it is concerning that the office of the Assistant 
        Secretary of Defense for Space Policy has been given 
        responsibility for issues not directly related to space policy, 
        leading to the inability to complete the primary duty of the 
        office.
            (2) The United States should have a well-established and 
        thoughtful national security space policy that can be discussed 
        and debated in unclassified settings.
            (3) Such a policy should be developed in conjunction with, 
        and taking into consideration, other relevant national strategy 
        documents, including reviews regarding nuclear and missile 
        defense.
    (c) Limitation.--Of the funds authorized to be appropriated by this 
Act or otherwise made available for fiscal year 2024 for the Department 
of Defense for travel by the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Space 
Policy, not more than 90 percent may be obligated or expended until the 
Secretary of Defense submits both of the following reports:
            (1) The report on classified programs managed under the 
        authority of the Space Force required by section 1609(c) of the 
        National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022 (Public 
        Law 117-81; 10 U.S.C. 2271 note).
            (2) The report on the review of the space policy of the 
        Department of Defense required by section 1611(c)(1) of such 
        Act.
    (d) Updates of Space Policy Report.--Section 1611(c) of the 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022 (Public Law 
117-81) is amended by striking paragraph (2) and inserting the 
following new paragraph (2):
            ``(2) Updates.--The Secretary shall provide for updates to 
        the assessments, analyses, and evaluations carried out pursuant 
        to such review in conjunction with other national strategy 
        documents, including reviews regarding nuclear and missile 
        defense.''.

SEC. 1607. NATIONAL SECURITY SPACE LAUNCH PROGRAM PHASE THREE 
              ACQUISITION.

    (a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) the United States Space Force must continue to ensure 
        assured access to space through phase three of the national 
        security space launch program;
            (2) the acquisition strategy covered in the briefing 
        provided to the Committee on Armed Services and the Permanent 
        Select Committee on Intelligence of the House of 
        Representatives in April 2023--
                    (A) includes a dual-lane approach that is 
                consistent with increasing competition for launch 
                services needed by the future national security space 
                architecture; and
                    (B) balances introducing new launch providers and 
                systems with meeting all required missions during the 
                planned ordering period;
            (3) as the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the 
        Director of National Intelligence, completes the final request 
        for proposals, it should consider including funding for launch 
        services support for lane 1 missions that require specific 
        national security space launch requirements, such as the Global 
        Positioning Services IIIF satellites that are intended to be 
        included in the ordering period; and
            (4) the Department should ensure that objective readiness 
        requirements are met by launch service providers before basic 
        award in either lane.
    (b) Phase Three Acquisition Strategy.--In competitively awarding 
and executing the phase three acquisition strategy, the Secretary of 
the Air Force, in coordination with the Under Secretary of Defense for 
Acquisition and Sustainment, shall--
            (1) maximize competition, to the extent practicable, for 
        both lanes 1 and 2, as described in the briefing on the 
        acquisition strategy provided to the Committee on Armed 
        Services of the House of Representatives in April 2023;
            (2) use lane 1 task or delivery order contracts to--
                    (A) launch national security space payloads that 
                require launch systems capable of lifting a minimum of 
                20,000 pounds mass to 100 nautical miles; and
                    (B) provide opportunities for new and emerging 
                launch providers or systems to compete for national 
                security space launch missions as such providers and 
                systems become ready;
            (3) use lane 2, firm fixed-price indefinite delivery 
        requirements contracts to--
                    (A) award contracts to national security space 
                launch providers with launch systems that are capable 
                of meeting all national security space launch design 
                reference orbits; and
                    (B) launch national security space low-risk 
                tolerant payloads that require full mission assurance 
                that--
                            (i) are performed by the national security 
                        space launch program; or
                            (ii) have unique national security space

SEC. 1608. APPLICATION OF TNT EQUIVALENCY TO LAUNCH VEHICLES AND 
              COMPONENTS USING METHANE PROPELLANT.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) The United States Government supports having a robust 
        space launch services market to support national security, 
        civil, and commercial space activities.
            (2) A majority of the new launch vehicles in development, 
        testing, and operation in the United States utilize methane and 
        liquid oxygen as their propellants (LOX/LNG or methalox).
            (3) The United States Government has access to data and 
        scientific modeling methods that support a TNT equivalency for 
        methalox that is less than the default 100 percent TNT 
        equivalency that is applied when no scientific data exists to 
        characterize the explosive yield.
            (4) The United States Government is not consistently 
        applying data that supports a TNT equivalency of 25 percent at 
        United States Government owned or licensed facilities.
            (5) The United States Government has initiated a LOX-
        Methane Assessment (LMA) working group; however, the working 
        group's methodology is not grounded in launch vehicle designs 
        or test and launch operations. Further, the working group's 
        efforts are expected to take no less than 3 years to complete 
        and cost the United States taxpayer no less than $80,000,000.
            (6) United States launch operators are incurring 
        significant cost and diminished opportunities to operate as a 
        result of the United States Government's inconsistent policy on 
        methalox.
            (7) The People's Republic of China is already launching 
        orbital launch vehicles that utilize liquid oxygen and methane.
    (b) Interim Equivalency Determination.--Effective on the date of 
the enactment of this Act, the interim determination of TNT equivalency 
applied to launch vehicles and components of such vehicles using

explosive siting and hazardous operations for test and operations of 
such launch vehicles and their components on or from any facility owned 
or licensed by the Federal Government.
    (c) Improved Process for Yield Determinations.--Not later than one 
year after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of 
Defense, the Secretary of Transportation, and the Administrator of the 
National Aeronautics and Space Administration shall establish a process 
through which scientifically-valid TNT equivalency determinations can 
be assessed for launch vehicles while in flight.
    (d) Certification and Report.--Not later than 90 days after the 
completion of the joint assessment process conducted by the LOX-Methane 
Assessment working group, the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of 
Transportation, and the Administrator of the National Aeronautics and 
Space Administration shall submit to the appropriate congressional 
committees--
            (1) a certification verifying that the Secretaries and the 
        Administrator reviewed the results of such joint assessment 
        process and have agreed upon a new TNT equivalency 
        determination that will be applied by the Federal Government to 
        launch vehicles and components of such vehicles using methane 
        as propellant; and
            (2) a report describing how the implementation of that new 
        TNT equivalency determination is expected to affect commercial 
        space launch activities and national security.

SEC. 1684. QUARTERLY BRIEFINGS ON IMPLEMENTATION OF MILITARY-CODE 
              COMPLIANT GPS RECEIVERS THROUGH MILITARY GPS USER 
              EQUIPMENT PROGRAM.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Section 2979b of title 10, United States Code, which 
        was enacted as part of the National Defense Authorization Act 
        for Fiscal Year 2022 (Public Law 117-81), establishes the 
        Council on Oversight of the Department of Defense Positioning, 
        Navigation, and Timing Enterprise to oversee all aspects of the 
        positioning, navigation, and timing enterprise of the 
        Department of Defense.
            (2) The law requires the Council to be co-chaired by the 
        Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the Under Secretary 
        for Research and Engineering, and the Under Secretary of 
        Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment, whose responsibilities 
        are to coordinate on matters of positioning, navigation, and 
        timing acquisitions to confirm that approved positioning, 
        navigation, and timing policies are implemented in acquisition 
        activities.
            (3) With respect to the implementation of military-code (in 
        this section referred to as ``M-Code'') compliant Global 
        Positioning Service (in this section referred to as ``GPS'') 
        receivers through the Military GPS User Equipment program, the 
        Comptroller General of the United States found that 
        ``Significant issues with data completeness and accuracy 
        remain. . .. Poor data hinder the congressional defense 
        committees' ability to track the progress of M-code and support 
        DOD decision-making. User equipment delays have also had ripple 
        effects on DOD's ability to plan for and develop M-code-capable 
        receivers. These delays have limited the military services' 
        ability to fully develop plans for operationally testing the M-
        code capability''.
    (b) Quarterly Briefings.--
            (1) In general.--Not later than February 1, 2024, and 
        quarterly thereafter until the date specified in paragraph (2), 
        the Co-Chairs of the Council on Oversight of the Department of 
        Defense Positioning, Navigation, and Timing Enterprise, shall 
        provide to the congressional defense committees a briefing on 
        the status of the implementation of M-Code compliant GPS 
        receivers through the Military GPS User Equipment program, 
        including the status of increments 1 and 2 of such program and 
        details regarding expected dates of M-Code compliance for all 
        sea-, air, and land-based terminals across the platforms of 
        each of the Armed Forces.
            (2) Termination date.--No briefing shall be required under 
        paragraph (1) after the date on which the Secretary of Defense 
        submits to the congressional defense committees certification 
        that the increments 1 and 2 of the Military GPS User Equipment 
        program have reached full operational capacity.

SEC. 1688. INDO-PACIFIC MISSILE STRATEGY.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The 2022 National Defense Strategy states: ``The 
        [People's Republic of China (PRC)] has expanded and modernized 
        nearly every aspect of the [People's Liberation Army (PLA)], 
        with a focus on offsetting U.S. military advantages. The PRC is 
        therefore the pacing challenge for the Department.''.
            (2) The 2020 report of the Department of Defense entitled 
        ``Annual Report to Congress Involving the People's Republic of 
        China'' states: ``Land-based conventional ballistic and cruise 
        missiles: The PRC has more than 1,250 ground-launched ballistic 
        missiles (GLBMs) and ground-launched cruise missiles (GLCMs) 
        with ranges between 500 and 5,500 kilometers. The United States 
        currently fields one type of conventional GLBM with a range of 
        70 to 300 kilometers and no GLCMs.''.
            (3) In September 2021, the United States entered a security 
        partnership with the United Kingdom and Australia (commonly 
        known as ``AUKUS''). In April 2022, AUKUS leaders committed to 
        ``commence new trilateral cooperation on hypersonic 
        technologies, counter-hypersonic defense systems, and 
        electronic warfare capabilities, as well as to deepen 
        cooperation on defense innovation.''.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) United States ground-based theater-range conventional 
        missile systems in the Indo-Pacific region provide operational 
        and strategy utility in--
                    (A) availability of persistent, prompt, and 
                survivable strike options;
                    (B) deterrence of enemy attack or escalation;
                    (C) imposition of operational costs on enemy 
                forces;
                    (D) responsive strikes against time-critical enemy 
                targets; and
                    (E) destruction of high-value targets to enable 
                other joint forces; and
            (2) an Indo-Pacific Missile Strategy should--
                    (A) provide coherent direction to concept and 
                capability development, including procurement and 
                employment;
                    (B) distribute integrated capabilities at 
                operationally relevant ranges;
                    (C) coordinate and differentiate strike missions 
                among the military forces of the United States and 
                allies; and
                    (D) pursue co-development and co-production of 
                capabilities with allies and partners, including 
                through existing institutional mechanisms.

                platform, weapon effects, and other operationally 
                relevant factors.
                    (C) An identification of prospective basing 
                locations for ground-based theater-range conventional 
                missiles in the area of responsibility of the United 
                States Indo-Pacific Command and an assessment of steps 
                required to receive host-nation permission for forward-
                basing of such weapon systems.
                    (D) A description of operational concepts for 
                employment of such conventional missiles, including 
                integration with other capabilities in the Western 
                Pacific region.
                    (E) An identification of prospective allies, 
                partners, and institutional mechanisms for co-
                development of new over-the-horizon range and 
                intermediate-range conventional missiles.
                    (F) An assessment of the cost, schedule, and 
                feasibility of ground-based theater-range conventional 
                missile programs, including any potential cost-sharing 
                structures through existing institutional mechanisms.

SEC. 1855. RESTRICTIVE HOUSING REFORM.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) Restrictive housing takes many forms, and the 
        experience in segregation can vary considerably depending on 
        certain external factors, such as the length of stay, 
        conditions of confinement, and degree of social isolation, as 
        well as factors specific to each confined person, such as age 
        and psychological resiliency.
            (2) Confined individuals located in restrictive housing 
        broadly express severe psychological disturbances with lasting 
        detrimental consequences as a result of their experience in 
        security housing units. The Stanford Lab's interviews revealed 
        a range of common impairments and adverse consequences 
        associated with long-term, indefinite incarceration.
            (3) The majority of confined members endorsed feeling mood 
        symptoms consistent with the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual 
        of Mental Disorders (DSM 5) diagnosis of Major Depressive 
        Disorder, including depressed mood, hopelessness, anger, 
        irritability, anhedonia, anger, fatigue, feelings of guilt, 
        loss of appetite, and insomnia.
            (4) Nearly all members also endorsed a sense of anxiety 
        symptoms characteristic of DSM 5 diagnoses of panic disorder, 
        traumatic stress disorders, or obsessive-compulsive disorders, 
        such as nervousness, worry, increased heart rate and 
        respiration, sweating, muscle tension, hyperarousal, paranoia, 
        nightmares, intrusive thoughts, and fear of losing control.
            (5) Psychiatric symptoms and diminished capacity for 
        socialization continue to cause psychological suffering and 
        problems with social function for most of the men now in 
        general population.
            (6) Confined members cited emotional numbing and 
        desensitization as some of the most common responses to living 
        in SHU.
            (7) This sense of emotional suppression and dysregulation 
        continues to be problematic for inmates following the 
        transition to the general population. Class members also 
        reported significant alterations in cognition and perception.
            (8) Problems with attention, concentration, and memory were 
        common, and described as persistent and worsening.
            (9) Some of the most pronounced and enduring effects of 
        long-term isolation appeared to have resulted from relational 
        estrangement and social isolation; inmates frequently reported 
        losing, over time, the motivation to seek social connection.
    (b) Limitations on Confinement.--
            (1) In general.--Inmates shall be housed in the least 
        restrictive setting necessary to ensure their own safety, as 
        well as the safety of staff, other inmates, and the public.
            (2) Reasoning.--The head of a military correctional 
        facility shall clearly articulate each specific reason for an 
        inmate's placement and retention in restrictive housing. Each 
        such reason shall be supported by objective evidence that such 
        placement and retention is necessary--
                    (A) for prison safety or order;
                    (B) to prevent gang influence;
                    (C) for inmate or staff protection; and
                    (D) such other penological purpose as the head of 
                such facility may determine is appropriate.
            (3) Penological purpose.--Restrictive housing may only be 
        used to eliminate or mitigate a specific facility threat such 
        as a fight between inmates or the threat of imminent danger to 
        inmates or staff.
            (4) Limitation.--
                    (A) In general.--Inmates shall remain in 
                restrictive housing for no longer than necessary to 
                address each specific reason for such placement.
                    (B) Punishment.--Inmates may not be placed in 
                restrictive housing--
                            (i) as a form of punishment or deterrence;

                housing for any forced movement or physical 
                interaction.
            (2) Presumption.--In determining whether placement in 
        restrictive housing is appropriate, it shall be presumed that 
        an inmate shall be housed in the least restrictive setting 
        necessary to ensure safety, and that inmates in restrictive 
        housing shall be returned to general population as soon as it 
        is safe to do so.

SEC. 3134. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING USE OF ADVANCED NUCLEAR REACTORS 
              BY THE ARMED FORCES.

    It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) aspects of the Armed Forces have intentions to use 
        advanced nuclear reactors at United States military bases, both 
        domestically and internationally, because of advanced nuclear's 
        potential ability to generate clean electricity consistently 
        and reliably;
            (2) the Armed Forces currently rely on fossil fuel, which 
        presents potential safety risks and national security risks 
        associated with such reliance;
            (3) advanced nuclear reactors can provide clean, 
        uninterrupted electricity to power a wide array of domestic and 
        international military operations;
            (4) the Armed Forces have grown accustomed to an 
        operational energy supply chain in times of peace, but the 
        United States also needs to prepare for the logistical 
        challenges arising from the battles of tomorrow; and
            (5) energy use on the battlefield will increase 
        significantly over the next decade, and advanced nuclear 
        reactors will be an important solution to providing secure, 
        dense, and firm energy supply.

SEC. 3135. MILITARY DEPARTMENT USE OF ADVANCED NUCLEAR REACTORS.
