            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
            special use airspaces for the purpose of testing radio systems
            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

            members of the Guard and Reserve Components who were not

                (2) Congress encourages the Department of Defense in
            collaboration with the Department of Veterans Affairs to

    determine whether the protected communication or activity under
    subsection (b) was a contributing factor in the personnel action

    evidence may include that the person taking such prohibited personnel
    action knew of the protected communication or activity, and that the

    investigation under subparagraph (D) that a personnel action prohibited
    under subsection (b) has occurred and that such personnel action shall
    result in an immediate hardship to the member alleging the personnel
    action, the Inspector General shall promptly notify the Secretary of
    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.''.

            member of an Armed Force, eligible for TAP, begins
            preseparation counseling under TAP, disaggregated by--

                (3) Steps the Secretary plans to take, and the related
            timeline for such steps, to address the finding in the report

            provide grants to non-Federal entities that provide industry-
            recognized certifications, job placement assistance, and
            related employment services to members eligible for TAP and
            spouses of such members.

            the military transition assistance teams of the Department of
            Defense to contact a veteran at least twice during each of the
            first three months after the veteran separates from an Armed

    SEC. 587. AUTHORIZATION FOR AWARD OF THE MEDAL OF HONOR TO THOMAS H.
                  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.

        It is the sense of Congress that the Department of Defense should

    adversarial nations for the procurement of strategic and critical
    materials, and that one such material in short supply according to the
    most recent report from Defense Logistics Agency Strategic Material is
    natural rubber, undermining our national security and jeopardizing the
    military's ability to rely on a stable source of natural rubber for
    tire manufacturing and production of other goods. Accordingly, the
    Secretary is directed to take all appropriate action, pursuant with the
    authority provided by the Strategic and Critical Materials Stock Piling
    Act (50 U.S.C. 98a et seq.), to engage in activities that may include
    stockpiling, but shall also include research and development aspects
    for increasing the domestic supply of natural rubber.

    SEC. 899A. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING EXPLOSION WELDING.

        (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
                (1) The joining of certain dissimilar metals, particularly
            steel with alloy metals such as stainless steel, brass, nickel,
            silver, titanium, and zirconium, requires explosion welding.
                (2) Explosion welding employs hundreds of highly skilled
            workers within the United States.
                (3) Explosion welded alloys can be found in every major
            United States naval platform, particularly in Columbia-class
            submarines, Ford-class aircraft carriers, and Arleigh Burke-
            class destroyers.
        (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
                (1) explosion welding is a critical capability for ensuring
            the national security of the United States and its allies;
                (2) a limited number of domestic companies produce
            explosion welded alloys that satisfy Department of Defense
            requirements;
                (3) if domestic sources fail, demand would be fulfilled by
            China, creating an immediate supply chain vulnerability; and
                (4) the Department of Defense should take such steps as are
            necessary to ensure that the United States has a reliable and
            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.

                        (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

    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.

    SEC. 1605. LIMITATION ON USE OF FUNDS FOR WGS-12 SATELLITE.

        (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.

    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
                            mission requirements; and
                (4) in the case of any new or emerging national security
            space launch-class mission that is authorized for any of fiscal
            years 2025 through 2029 and is not identified in the phase
            three final request for proposals reference manifest contract--
                        (A) assign such mission to the lane 1 contract
                    referred to in paragraph (2); or
                        (B) assign such mission to the lane 2 contract
                    referred to in paragraph (3), if the Secretary
                    determines that such a mission is has unique national
                    security space or other Government requirements that
                    could not be met if the mission were assigned to the
                    lane 1 contract.
        (c) Notification Requirement.--If the Secretary assigns a mission
    to the lane 2 contract pursuant to subsection (b)(4)(B), the Secretary
    shall submit to the congressional defense committees, the Permanent
    Select Committee on Intelligence of the House of Representatives, and
    the Select Committee on Intelligence of the Senate notification of such
    assignment and the reason for such assignment.
        (d) Phase Three Acquisition Strategy Defined.--In this section, the
    term ``phase three acquisition strategy'' means the process through
    which the Secretary of the Air Force--
                (1) enters into phase three contracts during fiscal year
            2025;
                (2) orders launch missions during fiscal years 2025 through

    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

    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),

            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

                    survivable strike options;
                        (B) deterrence of enemy attack or escalation;
                        (C) imposition of operational costs on enemy
                    forces;

                    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

    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;
                                (ii) for low-level offenses that do not
                            involve physical violence to staff or inmates;
                            or
                                (iii) for more than 5 days as a part of a
                            routine investigation or more than 15 days as
                            part of a non-routine investigation, as
                            determined by the Secretary of Defense, absent
                            documented extenuating circumstances.
        (c) Review of Placement.--
                (1) In general.--An institutional review panel of a
            military correctional facility shall review the placement of an
            inmate in restrictive housing not later than 15 days after such
            placement and not less than every 15 days thereafter until such
            time as the inmate is removed from restrictive housing.
                (2) Removal plan.--The head of each military correctional
            facility shall make a plan for the return of the inmate to less
            restrictive conditions and shall share such plan with the
            inmate, unless sharing such plan would put the health and
            safety of the inmate, staff, other inmates, or the public at
            risk.
        (d) Employee Training.--
                (1) In general.--The Secretary of Defense shall ensure that
            the staff of each military correctional facility is trained on
            use of force and restrictive housing policies not less than
            quarterly.
                (2) Housing policy training.--The Secretary of Defense
            shall ensure that the staff of each military correctional
            facility complies with restrictive housing policies and that
            such policies are reflected in employee evaluation systems.
                (3) Standing committees.--
                        (A) In general.--The Secretary of Defense shall
                    establish in each military correctional facility a
                    standing committee, consisting of high-level
                    correctional officials, active or retired, to regularly
                    evaluate existing restrictive housing policies.
                        (B) Duties.--Each standing committee shall--
                                (i) review use of force and abuse
                            allegations to include body camera or other
                            digital recording footage and closed-circuit
                            video footage of any use of force or abuse
                            allegation;
                                (ii) submit redacted written
                            recommendations on preventing unlawful use of
                            force or abuse to--
                                        (I) the Secretary of Defense; and
                                        (II) the Committees on Armed
                                    Services of the House of
                                    Representatives and the Senate; and
                                (iii) assist military correctional
                            facilities in developing safe and effective
                            alternatives to restrictive housing and share
                            with other military correctional facilities
                            best practices for use of force to ensure
                            safety for staff and confined individuals.
        (e) Gradual Return to General Population.--
                (1) In general.--Absent a compelling reason as determined
            by the Secretary of Defense, the head of a military
            correctional facility may not release inmates directly from
            restrictive housing to the general inmate population.
                (2) Graduated system.--The head of a military correctional
            facility shall consult with mental health professionals to
            ensure that shock of removal from isolation will not cause harm
            to the confined individual or the general inmate population.
        (f) Enrichment Opportunities.--
                (1) Establishment of policies.--Not later than 180 days
            after the date of the enactment of this Act, each Secretary of
            Defense shall establish policies to:

    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.
