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.

        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.

            (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

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, 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.

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) 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

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 
methane as propellant shall not exceed 25 percent for purposes of the 
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.
    (e) Sunset.--Subsection (b) shall have no force or effect after the 
expiration of the period of 180 days following the submittal of the 
certification and report required under subsection (d).
    (f) Definitions.--In this section:
            (1) The term ``appropriate congressional committees'' means

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.
    (c) Strategy.--
            (1) In general.--Not later than 180 days after the date of 
        the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall 
        submit to the congressional defense committees a strategy for 
        ground-based theater-range conventional missiles in the Indo-
        Pacific region.

        include the following:
                    (A) An assessment of gaps in conventional theater-
                range precision strike capabilities in the area of 
                responsibility of the United States Indo-Pacific 
                Command.
                    (B) An identification of military requirements for 
                ground-based theater-range conventional missile

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:
                    (A) Increase the minimum amount of time inmates in 
                restrictive housing spend outside their cells to 3 
                hours per day, including weekends and holidays, and to 
                offer enhanced in-cell opportunities.
                    (B) Afford to individuals in restrictive housing 
                educational opportunities, using the minimum amount of 
                protective restraint necessary to ensure safety of 
                staff, population, and educational professionals.
                    (C) Make available to the inmates opportunities for 
                recreation, education, clinically appropriate treatment 
                therapies, skill-building, and social interaction with 
                staff and other inmates.
                    (D) Ensure that lower-risk individuals may conduct 
                recreation time in such group size as the facility 
                determines appropriate.
                    (E) Increase the ability of military correctional 
                facilities to divert inmates with serious mental 
                illness to mental health treatment programs or 
                facilities when needed to serve the interest of the 
                facility and the inmate.
                    (F) Prohibit the placement of inmates in 
                restrictive housing during the final 180 days of the 
                term of imprisonment of such inmate.
                    (G) Provide targeted re-entry programming for 
                inmates who require restrictive housing during the such 
                final 180-day period.
            (2) Posting policies.--The Secretary of Defense shall post 
        the policies established under paragraph (1) in an area of the 
        facility that is frequented by inmates and staff.
    (g) Statistics.--The Secretary of Defense shall publish system-wide 
restrictive housing statistics, on a monthly basis, on the website of 
the Department of Defense and on websites for effected military 
correctional facilities. The statistics shall include the total number 
of inmates in restrictive housing, disaggregated by--
            (1) the number of inmates who--
                    (A) remained in such housing for more than 90 days;
                    (B) remained in such housing for more than 180 
                days; and
                    (C) remained in such housing for more than 364 
                days; and
            (2) the number of inmates in disciplinary segregation, 
        administrative detention, other restrictive housing.
    (h) Confinement Requirements.--
            (1) In general.--The Secretary of Defense and the head of a 
        military correctional facility shall--
                    (A) submit data on restrictive housing to the 
                Committees on Armed Services and on the Judiciary of 
                the Senate and the House of Representatives on a 
                quarterly basis;
                    (B) finalize upgrades in data collection software 
                to improve tracking of restrictive housing inmates; and
                    (C) require a body camera or other digital 
                recording instrument to be worn by correctional staff 
                interacting with confined population in restrictive 
                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.
    (i) Violations.--
            (1) In general.--In the case of a military correctional 
        facility that violates the policy established by the Secretary 
        of Defense under subsection (f), the Secretary may--
                    (A) reduce the funding provided to the violating 
                facility by such amount as the Secretary determines 
                appropriate and increase the amount provided to 
                facilities in compliance by an amount that is equal to 
                the amount of such reduction;
                    (B) suspend staff found to be involved in a 
                violation of such policy with or without pay; or
                    (C) terminate staff found to be involved in a 
                violation of such policy if such violation is 
                considered substantially detrimental to the goals of 
                such policy.
            (2) Adjudication.--Any military correctional facility or an 
        employee of such facility accused of a violation of the policy 
        established by the Secretary of Defense under subsection (f) 
        shall, after notice and an opportunity to be heard by the 
        standing committee of such facility and subject to approval by 
        the Secretary of Defense be subject to the relevant penalties 
        described under paragraph (1).
            (3) Conflict of interest.--Any conflicted parties, as 
        determined by the Secretary of Defense, shall recuse themselves 
        from the proceeding before the standing committee and a new 
        impartial member shall be appointed to the committee to serve 
        in this capacity for the duration of the proceeding. Any 
        conflict of interest shall be disclosed in writing and 
        preserved within the recommendation notes.
    (j) Revision of Department of Defense Policies and Guidance.--As 
soon as practicable after the date of the enactment of this Act, the

        of the Department of Defense, distinguishing among categories 
        such as applications for shopping, social media, entertainment, 
        or health; and
            (2) create a risk framework with respect to Department 
        personnel or operations that assesses each foreign phone 
        application (or, if appropriate, grouping of similar such 
        applications) that is from a country of concern for any 
        potential impact on Departmental personnel and Departmental 
        operations, incorporating considerations of--
                    (A) the manner and extent of data collection by the 
                application;
                    (B) the ability of the application to influence 
                users;
                    (C) the manner and extent of foreign ownership or 
                control of the application or data collected by the 
                application;
                    (D) any foreign government interests associated 
                with the applications;
                    (E) known or assessed malicious software embedded 
                in the application, including in prior versions of the 
                application or in other applications created by the 
                owners of such application; and
                    (F) any known impact from prior use of the 
                application to Department personnel or operations.
    (b) Considerations.--In developing the categorical definitions and 
risk framework described in subsection (a), the Secretary of Defense--
            (1) shall include in the risk framework foreign phone 
        applications of concern--
                    (A) from countries that the Secretary determines to 
                be engaged in consistent, unauthorized conduct that is 
                detrimental to the national security or foreign policy 
                of the United States;
                    (B) that are accessible to be downloaded from major 
                mobile device application marketplaces by Department 
                personnel; and
                    (C) originating from, authored in, owned by, or 
                otherwise associated with countries or entities that 
                are designated on the list maintained and set forth in 
                Supplement No. 4 to part 744 of the Export 
                Administration Regulations;
            (2) may include additional countries or individual foreign 
        phone applications from other countries to the extent the 
        Secretary determines appropriate; and
            (3) shall consider distinguishing within the risk framework 
        the particular interests of a country described in paragraph 
        (1) or (2) in the use of a foreign phone application of concern 
        of such country (regardless of device or owner) by--
                    (A) users located at facilities of the Department 
                of Defense of varying levels of sensitivity;
                    (B) users conducting authorized operations or 
                movements of Department of Defense materiel; or
                    (C) specific civilian employees of the Department

                be a target of a foreign actor.
    (c) Guidance and Updates.--The Secretary of Defense shall--
            (1) issue guidance to all Department personnel 
        incorporating the categories of foreign phone applications of 
        concern and advising how to mitigate the risks identified by 
        the risk framework with respect to such applications;
            (2) routinely update the categorical definitions and risk 
        framework promulgated pursuant to subsection (a), at least on 
        an annual basis; and
            (3) prescribe regulations that prohibit applications on 
        phones provided by the Department of Defense or on any device 
        used during an activity described in subsection (b)(3)(B).
