    basis for separation and, upon recommendation from the service chief,
    the Secretary of the military department determines that the board's
    retention recommendation is clearly erroneous in light of the evidence
    considered by the board, a miscarriage of justice, and inconsistent
    with the best interest of the service. In such cases, the Secretary of
    the military department may separate the officer after providing a
    written justification of the decision to separate.
        ``(B) An officer considered for separation under this section must
    be notified and afforded the opportunity to present matters for the
    Secretary of the military department to consider when making the
    separation determination. The Secretary of the military department
    shall review the case to determine whether the retention recommendation
    of the board is clearly contrary to the substantial weight of the
    evidence in the record and whether the officer's conduct discredits the
    Service, adversely affects good order and discipline, and adversely
    affects the officer's performance of duty.
        ``(C) Exercise of authority to separate an officer under this
    section shall be reserved for unusual cases where such action is
    essential to the interests of justice, discipline, and proper
    administration of the service.'';

    of inquiry's recommendation to retain an officer may only be delegated
    to a civilian official within a military department appointed by the
    President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate. The least
    favorable characterization in such cases will be general (under

    executive for the Air Force for space systems and programs, shall
    maintain a list of contractors with a history of poor performance on
    space procurement contracts.
        ``(b) Basis for Inclusion on Watch List.--(1) The Assistant
    Secretary shall place a contractor, which may consist of the entire
    contracting entity or a specific division of the contracting entity, on
    the watch list based on a determination made under paragraph (2).
        ``(2)(A) In considering whether to place a contractor on the watch
    list, the Assistant Secretary shall determine whether there is evidence
    of any of the following:
            ``(i) Poor performance on one or more space procurement
        contracts, or award fee scores below 50 percent.
            ``(ii) Inadequate management, operational or financial

        control, or influence.
            ``(iv) Any other failure of controls or performance of a nature
        so serious or compelling as to warrant placement of the contractor
        on the watch list.

    described in any of clauses (i) through (iv) of subparagraph (A), that
    the ability of a contractor to responsibly perform is meaningfully
    impaired, the Assistant Secretary shall place the contractor on the
    watch list.
        ``(C) The Assistant Secretary shall establish written policies for
    the consideration of contractors for placement on the watch list,
    including policies that require that--

        shall be provided with notice and an opportunity to respond;
            ``(ii) the basis for a final determination placing a contractor
        on the watch list shall be documented in writing; and
            ``(iii) at the request of a contractor, the contractor shall be
        removed from the watch list if the Assistant Secretary determines
        that there is evidence that the issue resulting in placement on the
        list has been satisfactorily remediated.

        learning tools presents opportunities to strengthen the security of
        critical strategic communications and early warning networks,
        improve the efficiency of planning processes to reduce the risk of
        collateral damage, and enhance U.S. capabilities for modeling
        weapons functionality in support of stockpile stewardship; and
            (2) even with such applications, particular care must be taken
        to ensure that the incorporation of artificial intelligence and
        machine learning tools does not increase the risk that our Nation's
        most critical strategic assets can be compromised.
        (b) Statement of Policy.--It is the policy of the United States
    that the use of artificial intelligence efforts should not compromise
    the integrity of nuclear safeguards, whether through the functionality
    of weapons systems, the validation of communications from command
    authorities, or the principle of requiring positive human actions in
    execution of decisions by the President with respect to the employment
    of nuclear weapons.

    SEC. 5703. HELLO GIRLS CONGRESSIONAL GOLD MEDAL.
        (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) On April 6, 1917, the United States declared war against
        Germany. As a historically neutral nation, the United States was
        unprepared to fight a technologically modern conflict overseas. The
        United States called upon American Telephone and Telegraph
        (referred to in this section as ``AT&T'') to provide equipment and
        trained personnel for the Army Signal Corps in France. AT&T
        executives in Army uniform served at home under the provisions of
        the Act entitled ``An Act for making further and more effectual
        provision for the national defense, and for other purposes.'',
        approved June 3, 1916 (referred to in this section as the
        ``National Defense Act of 1916''), which allowed for the induction
        of individuals with specialized skills into a reserve force.
            (2) When General John Pershing sailed for Europe in May of
        1917, as head of the American Expeditionary Forces (referred to in
        this section as the ``AEF''), he took telephone operating equipment
        with him in recognition of the inadequacy of European circuitry and
        with the understanding that telephones would play a key role in
        battlefield communications for the first time in the history of
        war.
            (3) From May to November of 1917, the AEF struggled to develop
        the telephone service necessary for the Army to function under
        battlefield conditions. Monolingual infantrymen from the United
        States were unable to connect calls rapidly or communicate
        effectively with their French counterparts to put calls through
        over toll lines that linked one region of the country with another.
        The Army found that the average male operator required 60 seconds
        to make a connection. That rate was unacceptably slow, especially
        for operational calls between command outposts and the front lines.
            (4) During this time, in the United States, telephone operating
        was largely sex-segregated. Hired for their speed in connecting
        calls, women filled 85 percent of the telephone operating positions
        in the United States. It took the average female operator 10
        seconds to make a connection.
            (5) On November 8, 1917, General Pershing cabled the War
        Department and wrote, ``On account of the great difficulty of
        obtaining properly qualified men, request organization and dispatch
        to France a force of women telephone operators all speaking French
        and English equally well.''. To begin, General Pershing requested
        100 women under the command of a commissioned captain, writing that
        ``All should have allowances of Army nurses and should be
        uniformed.''.
            (6) The War Department sent press releases to newspapers across
        the United States to recruit women willing to serve for the
        duration of the war and face the hazards of submarine warfare and
        aerial bombardment. These articles emphasized that patriotic women
        would be ``full-fledged soldier[s] under the articles of war'' and
        would ``do as much to help win the war as the men in khaki who go
        `over the top.'''. All women selected would take the Army oath.
            (7) More than 7,600 women volunteered for the 100 positions
        described in paragraph (5) and the first recruits took the Army
        oath on January 15, 1918.
            (8) Like nurses and doctors at the time, female Signal Corps
        members had relative rather than traditional ranks and were ranked
        as Operator, Supervisor, or Chief Operator. When promoted, the
        women were required to swear the Army oath again.
            (9) Telephone operators were the first women to serve as
        soldiers in non-medical classifications and the job of the
        operators was to help win the war, not to mitigate the harms of the
        war. In popular parlance, they were known as the ``Hello Girls''.
            (10) Signal Corps Operators wore Army uniforms and Army
        insignia always, as well as standard-issue identity disks in case
        of death, and were subject to court martial for infractions of the
        military code.
            (11) Unbeknownst to the women operators and their immediate
        officers, the legal counsel of the Army ruled internally on March
        20, 1918, that the women were not actually soldiers but contract
        employees, even though the women had not seen or signed any
        contracts. Military code allowed only for the induction of men and
        the code remained unchanged despite the orders of General Pershing.
        Nevertheless, legal counsel also recognized that the National
        Defense Act of 1916, which allowed for the induction of members of
        the telephone industry of the United States into the Armed Forces,
        imposed no gender restrictions.
            (12) Four days later, on March 24, 1918, the first contingent
        of operators began their official duties in France. The operators
        arrived before most infantrymen of the Armed Forces in order to
        facilitate logistics and deployment and spent their first night in
        Paris under German bombardment.
            (13) After the arrival of the operators, telephone service in
        France improved immediately, as calls tripled from 13,000 to 36,000
        per day.
            (14) The Army quickly recruited, trained, and deployed 5
        additional contingents of female Signal Corps operators. With these
        personnel, calls increased to 150,000 per day.
            (15) In addition to standard telephone operating, bilingual
        Signal Corps members provided simultaneous translation between
        officers from France and officers from the United States, who were
        communicating by telephone.
            (16) The AEF fought their first major battles in the last 2
        months of the war. By that point, the Signal Corps considered the
        contributions of women to be so essential that, in telephone
        exchanges closest to the front line, the Army exclusively used
        women, in rotating 12-hour shifts. In the rear, the Army
        established rotating 8-hour shifts and gave male soldiers the
        overnight shift when telephone traffic was slower.
            (17) Seven bilingual operators--
                (A) served at the Battles of St. Mihiel and Meuse-Argonne
            under the immediate command of General Pershing;
                (B) staffed the Operations Boards through which orders to
            advance, fire, and retreat were delivered to soldiers in the
            trenches, to artillery units on alert, and to pilots awaiting
            orders at French airfields; and
                (C) were awarded a ``Defensive Sector Clasp'' for the
            Meuse-Argonne operation.
            (18) The Chief Operator supervising the Hello Girls, Grace
        Banker of Passaic, New Jersey, was awarded the Distinguished
        Service Medal. Out of 16,000 eligible Signal Corps officers, Banker
        was one of only 18 individuals so honored.
            (19) Thirty additional operators received special
        commendations, many signed by General Pershing himself, for
        ``exceptionally meritorious and conspicuous services'' in ``Advance
        Sections'' of the conflict.
            (20) The war ended on November 11, 1918. As of that date, 223
        female operators served in France and had connected 26,000,000
        calls for the AEF.
            (21) The Chief Signal Officer of the Army Signal Corps wrote in
        his official report 2 days after the date on which the war ended
        that ``a large part of the success of the communications of this
        Army is due to . . . a competent staff of women operators.''.
            (22) After the war ended, some women were ordered to Coblenz in
        Germany for the occupation of that country and to Paris for the
        Paris Peace Treaty of 1919 to continue telephone operations,
        sometimes in direct support of President Woodrow Wilson.
            (23) Two operators, Corah Bartlett and Inez Crittenden, died in
        France in the service of the United States and were buried there in
        military cemeteries with military ceremonies. Those operators died
        of the same influenza pandemic that killed more soldiers of the
        Armed Forces than combat operations.
            (24) Women of the Army Signal Corps were ineligible for
        discharge until formal release. Because of their role in logistics,
        those women were among the last soldiers to come home to the United
        States. The last Signal Corps operators returned from France in
        January of 1920.
            (25) Upon arrival in the United States, the Army informed
        female veterans that they had performed as civilians, not soldiers,
        even though operators had served in Army uniform in a theater of
        war surrounded by men who were similarly engaged.
            (26) Despite the objections of General George Squier, the top-
        ranking officer in the Signal Corps, the Army denied Signal Corps
        women the veterans' benefits granted to male soldiers and female
        nurses, such as--
                (A) hospitalization for disabilities incurred in the line
            of duty;
                (B) cash bonuses;
                (C) soldiers' pensions;
                (D) flags on their coffins; and
                (E) the Victory Medals promised them in France.
            (27) For the next 60 years, female veterans, led by Merle Egan
        from Montana, petitioned Congress more than 50 times for their
        recognition. In 1977, under the sponsorship of Senator Barry
        Goldwater, Congress passed legislation to retroactively acknowledge
        the military service of the Women's Airforce Service Pilots
        (referred to in this section as ``WASPs'') of World War II and
        ``the service of any person in any other similarly situated group
        the members of which rendered service to the Armed Forces of the
        United States in a capacity considered civilian employment or
        contractual service at the time such service was rendered''.
            (28) On November 23, 1977, President Jimmy Carter signed the
        legislation described in paragraph (27) into law as the GI Bill
        Improvement Act of 1977 (Public Law 95-202; 91 Stat. 1433).
            (29) The Signal Corps telephone operators applied for, and were
        granted, status as veterans in 1979.
            (30) Only 33 of the operators who had returned home after the
        war were still alive to receive their Victory Medals and official
        discharge papers, which were finally awarded in 1979.
            (31) One of the women, Olive Shaw from Massachusetts, returned
        to the United States after the war, where she worked on the
        professional staff of Congresswoman Edith Nourse Rogers. Shaw lived
        to receive her honorable discharge and was the first burial when
        the Massachusetts National Cemetery opened on October 11, 1980.
        Shaw's uniform is on display at the National World War I Museum and
        Memorial in Kansas City, Missouri.
            (32) Upon receipt of her honorable discharge at a ceremony in
        her home in Marine City, Michigan, ``Hello Girl'' Oleda Joure
        Christides raised the paper to her lips and kissed it. The only
        thing Christides ever wanted from the Federal Government was a flag
        on her coffin.
            (33) On July 1, 2009, President Barack Obama signed into law
        Public Law 111-40 (123 Stat. 1958), which awarded the WASPs the
        Congressional Gold Medal for their service to the United States.
            (34) For their role as pioneers who paved the way for all women
        in uniform, and for service that was essential to victory in World
        War I, the ``Hello Girls'' merit similar recognition.
        (b) Congressional Gold Medal.--
            (1) Award authorized.--The Speaker of the House of
        Representatives and the President pro tempore of the Senate shall
        make appropriate arrangements for the award, on behalf of Congress,
        of a single gold medal of appropriate design in honor of the female
        telephone operators of the Army Signal Corps (commonly known as the
        ``Hello Girls''), in recognition of those operators'--
                (A) pioneering military service;
                (B) devotion to duty; and
                (C) 60-year struggle for--
                    (i) recognition as soldiers; and
                    (ii) veterans' benefits.

                    (i) appropriate locations associated with--

                        (I) the Army Signal Corps;
                        (II) the Women in Military Service for America
                    Memorial;
                        (III) the U.S. Army Women's Museum; and
                        (IV) the National World War I Museum and Memorial;
                    and

                    (ii) any other location determined appropriate by the
                Smithsonian Institution.
        (c) Duplicate Medals.--Under such regulations as the Secretary may
    prescribe, the Secretary may strike and sell duplicates in bronze of
    the gold medal struck under subsection (b) at a price sufficient to
    cover the costs of the medals, including labor, materials, dies, use of
    machinery, and overhead expenses.
        (d) National Medals.--
            (1) National medals.--Medals struck under this section are
        national medals for purposes of chapter 51 of title 31, United
        States Code.
            (2) Numismatic items.--For purposes of section 5134 of title
        31, United States Code, all medals struck under this Act shall be
        considered to be numismatic items.
        (e) Authority to Use Fund Amounts; Proceeds of Sale.--
            (1) Authority to use fund amounts.--There is authorized to be
        charged against the United States Mint Public Enterprise Fund such
        amounts as may be necessary to pay for the costs of the medals
        struck under this Act.
            (2) Proceeds of sale.--Amounts received from the sale of

            (3) Department.--The term ``Department'' means the Department

                         TITLE LXXI--WORKFORCE MATTERS

    SEC. 7101. COMPETITIVE LOCAL COMPENSATION PLAN.
        It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) the effectiveness and stability of United States foreign
        missions are linked to the dedication and expertise of locally
        employed staff; and
            (2) ensuring competitive compensation packages benchmarked
        against the local market is essential not only to retain valuable
        talent but also to reflect a commitment to employment practices
        abroad.
    SEC. 7102. STRATEGY FOR TARGETED RECRUITMENT OF CIVIL SERVANTS.
        Not later than 180 days after the date of the enactment of this
    Act, the Secretary shall submit to the appropriate congressional
    committees and the Committee on Appropriations of the Senate and the
    Committee on Appropriations of the House of Representatives a strategy
    for targeted and proactive recruitment to fill open civil service
    positions, focusing on recruiting from schools or organizations, and on
    platforms targeting those with relevant expertise related to such
    positions.
    SEC. 7103. ELECTRONIC MEDICAL RECORDS.
        (a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) Foreign Service personnel at the Department serve with
        distinction in austere places and under challenging conditions
        around the world with limited healthcare availability;
            (2) the use of paper medical records, which require Foreign
        Service personnel to carry files containing protected health
        information from post to post, limits the availability of their
        health information to Department medical personnel during critical
        health incidents;
            (3) electronic medical records are necessary, particularly as
        the Department opens new embassies in the South Pacific, thousands
        of miles from the nearest Department medical officer, who may not
        have access to up-to-date personnel medical files;
            (4) the lack of electronic medical records is even more
        important for mental health records, as the Department only has a
        small number of regional medical officer psychiatrists and relies
        heavily on telehealth for most Foreign Service personnel; and
            (5) due to the critical need for electronic medical records, it
        is imperative that the Department address the situation quickly and
        focus on secure commercially available or other successful systems
        utilized by public and private sector organizations with a track
        record of successfully implementing large-scale projects of this
        type.
        (b) Electronic Medical Records Requirement.--Not later than
    December 31, 2027, the Secretary shall have fully implemented an
    electronic medical records process or system for all Foreign Service
    personnel and their Eligible Family Members that eliminates reliance on
    paper medical records and includes appropriate safeguards to protect
    personal privacy.
        (c) Report on Implementation.--
            (1) In general.--Not later than 180 days after the date of the
        enactment of this Act, and every 180 days thereafter, the Secretary
        shall submit to the appropriate congressional committees and the
        Committee on Appropriations of the Senate and the Committee on
        Appropriations of the House of Representatives a report on the
        progress made towards meeting the requirement under subsection (b).
            (2) Elements.--The report required under paragraph (1) shall
        include the following elements:
                (A) An updated timeline for implementation.
                (B) An estimated completion date.
                (C) The amounts expended to date on the required electronic
            medical records system.
                (D) The estimated amount needed to complete the system.
            (3) Termination of requirement.--
                (A) In general.--The reporting requirement under paragraph
            (1) shall cease upon the earlier of--
                    (i) notification to the appropriate congressional
                committees that electronic medical records have been
                completely implemented for all Foreign Service personnel;
                and
                    (ii) the date that is 5 years after the date of the

        (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Increasing the United States' global diplomatic footprint
        is imperative to advance United States' national security
        interests, particularly in the face of a massive diplomatic
        expansion of our strategic competitors.
            (2) Opening or re-opening diplomatic missions, often in small
        island nations where there is no United States Government presence,
        but one is needed to advance United States strategic objectives.
            (3) Diplomatic missions should be resourced and equipped for
        success upon opening to allow diplomats to focus on advancing
        United States national interests in-country.
            (4) The United States can and should move more swiftly to open
        new diplomatic missions and provide United States diplomats and
        locally employed staff with a workplace that meets locally
        appropriate quality, safety, and security standards.
            (5) To do this, the Department must streamline and support the
        process of opening new posts to identify efficiencies and remove
        obstacles that are unduly complicating the opening of new
        diplomatic missions, particularly in small island states and
        similarly situated locations.
        (b) Report to Congress.--
            (1) In general.--Not later than 120 days after the date of the
        enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall submit to the
        appropriate congressional committees and the Committee on

        creating a new framework to provide such diplomatic missions the
        needed resources and authorities to quickly and efficiently stand
        up and operate from the moment United States personnel arrive, or
        even before the opening of a new mission, particularly in small
        island nations.
            (2) Elements.--The report required under paragraph (1) shall

            equipment, vehicles, and housing;
                (F) the number of recommended locally engaged staff and

            Act.

            vulnerable to cyberattack.

            clause (i) are implemented consistent with the maintenance of
