    SEC. 115. DEVELOPMENT OF REQUIREMENT FOR SHIPPING CONTAINER PRODUCTION
                  FACILITY AT DOMESTIC ARMY INSTALLATION.

        (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
                (1) House Report 118-301 accompanying the National Defense
            Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2024 (Public Law 118-31)
            directed the Secretary of the Army, in coordination with the
            Commanding General, Army Materiel Command and the Assistant
            Secretary of the Army for Acquisition, Logistics, and
            Technology to provide a briefing on the costs and estimated
            funding profile as it relates to the organic industrial base
            modernization strategy, and facility efforts required to
            support opportunities for organic industrial base augmentation
            at Blue Grass Army Depot in Kentucky.
                (2) The briefing was directed to explore Blue Grass Army
            Depot as a potential site for the production of metal shipping
            containers.
                (3) Limited domestic production, coupled with the
            concentration of global shipping container manufacturing in and
            around China, is a strategic deployment and sustainment risk
            for United States forces.
                (4) China produces most shipping containers and the
            Department of Defense sources nearly all containers from Asia
            or assembles container kits in the United States from foreign-
            producers.
                (5) Establishing a domestic source for metal shipping
            containers would reduce reliance on foreign sources.
        (b) Shipping Container Requirement.--Not later than 180 days after
    the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense, in
    coordination with the Secretary of the Army, the Commanding General of
    the Army Materiel Command, and the Assistant Secretary of the Army for
    Acquisition, Logistics, and Technology, shall develop a requirement for
    the establishment of a shipping container production facility within
    the United States at an Army installation found to meet feasibility and
    readiness goals.

    SEC. 138. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON AIRCRAFT CARRIER PROCUREMENT.

        (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
                (1) The aircraft carriers of the Navy are a cornerstone of
            the Nation's ability to project its power and strength.
                (2) Construction of Gerald R. Ford-class aircraft carriers
            represents a national effort which requires predictable and
            stable build schedules and alignment of purpose between the
            Department of Defense, the Department of the Navy, and the
            aircraft carrier industrial base.
                (3) The aircraft carrier industrial base includes more than
            2,000 companies in 44 states that contribute to the
            construction and maintenance of these complex and
            technologically advanced ships.
                (4) The benefits of stable, executable aircraft carrier
            procurement plans extend throughout the aircraft carrier
            industrial base, promoting the development and retention of
            highly-skilled workforces and capital investments in world-
            class manufacturing and shipbuilding facilities throughout the
            Nation.
                (5) Aircraft carrier procurement plans accompanying the
            President's budget request for fiscal years 2023 and 2024
            forecast procurement of CVN-82 in fiscal year 2028, however,
            the fiscal year 2025 plan defers procurement until fiscal year
            2030, creating a significant and destabilizing production gap
            for the aircraft carrier industrial base.
        (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
                (1) the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of the Navy
            should implement aircraft carrier acquisition strategies that
            maximize benefits to operational commanders while
            simultaneously protecting the interests of the taxpayer and
            supporting the national nuclear shipbuilding industrial base;
                (2) the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of the Navy
            should review and revise the acquisition strategy, including a
            two-ship buy of CVN-82 and CVN-83, for Ford-class aircraft
            carriers in the President's budget request for fiscal year 2026
            to ensure it is consistent with accepted shipbuilding
            industrial base analyses, prior Department recommendations,
            reports to Congress, congressional resolutions, section 8062 of
            title 10, United States Code, and national security interests;
            and
                (3) the Secretary of Defense should request procurement of
            the CVN-82 carrier not later than fiscal year 2028.

                  MARIANA ISLANDS.

        (a) Determination Required.--The Secretary of Defense shall
    determine the feasibility of establishing--
                (1) a unit of the National Guard in American Samoa; and
                (2) a unit of the National Guard in the Commonwealth of the
            Northern Mariana Islands.
        (b) Force Structure Elements.--In making the feasibility
    determination under subsection (a), the Secretary of Defense shall
    consider the following:
                (1) The allocation of National Guard force structure and
            manpower to American Samoa and the Commonwealth of the Northern
            Mariana Islands in the event of the establishment of a unit of
            the National Guard in American Samoa and in the Commonwealth of
            the Northern Mariana Islands, and the impact of this allocation
            on existing National Guard units in the 50 States, the
            Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam, and the
            District of Columbia.
                (2) The Federal funding that would be required to support
            pay, benefits, training operations, and missions of members of
            a unit of the National Guard in American Samoa and the
            Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, based on the
            allocation derived from paragraph (1), and the equipment,
            including maintenance, required to support such force
            structure.
                (3) The presence of existing infrastructure to support a
            unit of the National Guard in American Samoa and the
            Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and the
            requirement for additional infrastructure, including
            information technology infrastructure, to support such force
            structure, based on the allocation derived from paragraph (1).
                (4) How a unit of the National Guard in American Samoa and
            the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Island would
            accommodate the National Guard Bureau's ``Essential Ten''
            homeland defense capabilities (i.e., aviation, engineering,
            civil support teams, security, medical, transportation,
            maintenance, logistics, joint force headquarters, and
            communications) and reflect regional needs.
                (5) The manpower cadre, both military personnel and
            fulltime support, including National Guard technicians,
            required to establish, maintain, and sustain a unit of the
            National Guard in American Samoa and the Commonwealth of the
            Northern Mariana Islands, and the ability of American Samoa and
            of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands to support
            demographically a unit of the National Guard at each location.
                (6) The ability of a unit of the National Guard in American
            Samoa and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands to
            maintain unit readiness and the logistical challenges
            associated with transportation, communications, supply/
            resupply, and training operations and missions.
        (c) Submission of Conclusion.--Not later than 180 days after the
    date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall
    notify the congressional defense committees of the results of the
    feasibility determination made under subsection (a). If the Secretary
    determines that establishment of a unit of the National Guard in

    both) is feasible, the Secretary shall include in the notification the
    following:
                (1) A determination of whether the executive branch of
            American Samoa and of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana
            Islands has enacted and implemented statutory authorization for
            an organized militia as a prerequisite for establishing a unit
            of the National Guard, and a description of any other steps
            that such executive branches must take to request and carry out
            the establishment of a National Guard unit.

            Mariana Islands.
                (3) A description of any required Department of Defense
            actions to establish a unit of the National Guard in American

                (2) as an Ace fighter pilot who shot down multiple MiG

    SEC. 582. 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

    SEC. 584. AUTHORIZATION OF AWARD OF MEDAL OF HONOR TO GREGORY MCMANUS
                  FOR ACTS OF VALOR.

        (a) Waiver of Time Limitations.--Notwithstanding the time

        (b) Acts of Valor Described.--The acts of valor described in this

                (1) Chief Warrant Officer Gregory McManus distinguished
            himself for his brave acts of valor while serving in the United
            States Army by risking his life to save the lives of his fellow
            servicemembers.
                (2) Chief Warrant Officer McManus deserves recognition for
            his acts of valor while serving as the commander of a single
            helicopter gunship on an important mission north of Chai Duc.
                (3) Discovering an envoy of hundreds of enemy troops along
            the Cambodian border, Chief Warrant Officer McManus attacked
            the enemy without hesitation.
                (4) Chief Warrant Officer McManus disregarded the tracers
            that rose to meet him, firing rockets the entire length of the
            convoy, confusing the enemy, and scattering the troop column.
                (5) Chief Warrant Officer McManus then attacked an armored
            vehicle with a mounted machine gun, destroying it and a large
            artillery piece which it was towing.
                (6) Over and over, Chief Warrant Officer McManus flew
            through heavy automatic weapons and machine gun fire to attack
            the enemy, only deciding to return when his ordinance was
            expended, and his ship had taken so much damage that further
            flight was inadvisable.
                (7) With this noble deed, Chief Warrant Officer McManus was
            able to destroy the enemy unit and scattered the rest in
            disorder with a single ship.
                (8) Disregarding the size and scope of the enemy troop's
            convoy, Chief Warrant Officer McManus put his own life in
            danger, all in the service of his country and members of the
            Armed Forces.
                (9) Because of the heroic actions of Chief Warrant Officer
            McManus, countless American soldier's lives were saved.
                (10) These actions of heroism by Chief Warrant Officer
            McManus deserves recognition and demonstrates this hero of the
            United States more than deserve the medal of honor.

    SEC. 587. AUTHORIZATION OF AWARD OF MEDAL OF HONOR TO JOSEPH M. PEREZ
                  FOR ACTS OF VALOR AS A MEMBER OF THE ARMY DURING THE
                  VIETNAM WAR.

        (a) Recognition of Acts of Valor.--Congress recognizes the
    following acts of valor by Joseph M. Perez:
                (1) Joseph M. Perez distinguished himself by valorous
            actions against overwhelming odds while serving as a Sergeant
            in the Army, with Company C, 3rd Battalion, 8th Infantry
            Regiment, 4th Infantry Division, in South Vietnam.
                (2) On May 26, 1967, during the Vietnam War, Sergeant Perez
            acted as the fire team leader with the Commanding Officer of
            Company C and led an infantry unit conducting a search and
            destroy task near the Cambodian border. When the unit reached
            the top of a hill, they were suddenly under attack from a
            concealed sniper.
                (3) During the initial phase of battle, Sergeant Perez and
            the unit took cover to assess and decide the strength of the
            enemy and determine the direction of where the attack was
            coming from. When the enemy launched a hand-grenade, the fire
            team returned fire. Without hesitation or concern for his
            personal safety, Sergeant Perez absorbed the full lethal
            explosion of the grenade and shielded his fellow soldiers from
            the blast. The explosion caused Sergeant Perez to lose his
            right eye and severed his right hand.
                (4) The fire team moved to relocate to a safer area,
            leaving Sergeant Perez alone. Once Sergeant Perez regained
            consciousness, he crawled twenty meters to safe ground to be
            treated by medics.
                (5) Sergeant Perez's personal leadership in intense close
            combat resulted in a major win for his battalion against
            overwhelming odds, though he lost his eye and hand and nearly
            lost his life, he saved the lives of three of his fire team
            members from death and serious injuries from the explosion.
                (6) Sergeant Perez'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 makes the following findings:
                (1) When awarding him the distinguished-service cross,
            Sergeant Perez'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) Although Sergeant Perez absorbed the lethal explosion
            of a hand grenade, once he regained consciousness, he continued
            to move with his battalion against devastating and overwhelming
            enemy fire.
        (c) 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

    of Defense submits to the congressional defense committees the

            Force, including the costs of training technicians, any savings
            resulting from the ability of employees of the Government to

            the life cycle costs of such chillers; and
                (3) the Secretary of Defense has collected data
            demonstrating that the use of procedures other than competitive
            procedures to acquire chillers for the purposes of
            standardizing the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning
            chillers at installations of the Air Force has resulted in
            lower life cycle costs compared to using competitive procedures
            for such acquisitions.
        (c) Definitions.--In this section:
                (1) The term ``competitive procedures'' has the meaning

            Code.
                (2) The term ``non-competitive justification and approval''
            means the justification and approval required by section
            3204(e)(1) of title 10, United States Code, for the use of
            procedures other than competitive procedures to award a

    SEC. 1023. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING NAMING OF NAVAL VESSEL AFTER
                  LIEUTENANT GENERAL RICHARD E. CAREY.

        (a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that the
    Secretary of the Navy should name the Spearhead-class expeditionary
    fast transport vessel of the United States Navy that has been ordered
    (Hull Number T-EPF-16) in honor of Lieutenant General Richard E. Carey
    for the acts of valor described in subsection (b).
        (b) Acts of Valor.--The acts of valor described in this subsection
    are as follows:
                (1) Lieutenant General Richard E. Carey participated in the
            Inchon Landing, captured communist forces, and led his rifle
            platoon to Seoul. Three months later, on East Hill at the
            Chosin Reservoir, Carey hurled grenades at Chinese forces.
            Carey and his fellow Marines were outnumbered eight to one.
            They held their ground and broke through the Chinese trap to
            the sea.
                (2) Carey remained in the fight until March 1951. While
            commanding a platoon of machine gunners, Carey was badly
            wounded. He continued leading his troops and initially refused
            to get aid for his injuries. Carey's wounds required
            hospitalization. During 189 days in Korea, Carey had seven
            near-death experiences. As a result of his actions in Korea,
            Carey received the Silver Star, Bronze Star, and Purple Heart.
                (3) Returning to the United States, Carey earned a flight
            training slot and became a fighter pilot. In the early 1960s
            Carey scouted Marine airfield sites in Vietnam. He returned to
            Vietnam in the summer of 1967 and served during the Tet
            offensive. Carey flew 204 combat sorties earning the
            Distinguished Flying Cross and 16 Air Medals.

                  MAJOR JAMES CAPERS, JR..

        (a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that the
    Secretary of the Navy should name a vessel of the United States Navy
    the ``U.S.S. Major James Capers Jr.'' in honor of Major James Capers,
    Jr., for the acts of valor described in subsection (b).
        (b) Acts of Valor Described.--The acts of valor described in this
    subsection are the actions of James Capers, Jr., as a member of the
    Marine Corps, during the period of March 31 through April 3, 1967,
    during the Vietnam War, for which he was previously awarded the Silver
    Star.

    SEC. 1025. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING NAMING A NAVAL VESSEL AFTER
                  WILLIAM B. GOULD.

         It is the sense of Congress that the Secretary of the Navy should
    name a commissioned naval vessel after formerly enslaved sailor and
    Civil War veteran, William B. Gould, to honor his strength of character
    and faithful service to the United States.

    term ``associated race-based theories'' includes the following
    principles:
                (1) That any race, ethnicity, color, or national origin is
            inherently superior or inferior to any other race, ethnicity,
            color, or national origin.
                (2) That the United States is a fundamentally racist
            country.
                (3) That the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution
            of the United States, or the Federalist Papers are
            fundamentally racist documents.
                (4) That an individual's moral character or worth is
            determined by the individual's race, ethnicity, color, or
            national origin.
                (5) That an individual, by virtue of the individual's race,
            is inherently racist or oppressive, whether consciously or
            unconsciously.
                (6) That an individual, by virtue of race, bears collective
            guilt and is inherently responsible for actions committed in
            the past by other members of the individual's race, ethnicity,
            color, or national origin.
                (7) That an individual, by virtue of the individual's race,
            should be discriminated against or receive adverse treatment to
            achieve diversity, equity, or inclusion.
                (8) That an individual should feel discomfort, guilt, or
            any other form of psychological distress on account of the
            individual's race, color, or national origin.
                (9) That virtues such as merit, excellence, hard work,
            fairness, neutrality, objectivity, and racial colorblindness
            are racist or in any way discriminatory, or were created by
            members of a particular race, color, or national origin to
            oppress members of another race, color, or national origin.
                (10) That to be ``antiracist'' requires explicitly or
            implicitly promoting racial discrimination to advance
            diversity, equity, and inclusion.

    SEC. 1214. HELP ISRAEL RECOVER THE HOSTAGES.

        (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
                (1) There has been substantial and sustained cooperation
            between United States diplomatic, military, and intelligence
            agencies and Israeli counterparts to help Israel release those
            taken hostage on the attacks of October 7th, 2023.
                (2) Multiple proposals for returning the hostages and
            implementing a ceasefire have been developed with the help of
            the United States and international partners and presented to
            both Israel and Hamas.
                (3) Hamas has impeded or outright rejected these proposals,
            refusing to release the hostages and extending the suffering of
            civilians on both sides of the border.
                (4) The global community, including the United States, must
            exert necessary pressure on Hamas leadership to accept a
            ceasefire proposal, release the hostages and relinquish
            governing control of Gaza.
                (5) It is imperative that the United States continues to
            work with international partners to release the remaining
            hostages, including 8 Americans.

            program (referred to in this section as the ``Program'') to
            partner with countries in the Indo-Pacific region to gain
            access to foreign medical facilities during peacetime and

                            various countries in the Indo-Pacific region
                            during peacetime and wartime operations;

              Subtitle B--Matters Relating to South and East Asia

    SEC. 1311. 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 in
    support of the shared objective of a peaceful and stable Korean
    Peninsula, including by--
                (1) maintaining the presence of approximately 28,500
            members of the United States Armed Forces deployed to the
            country, enhancing mutual defense industrial base cooperation;
            and
                (2) 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.

    SEC. 1312. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON TAIWAN DEFENSE RELATIONS.

        It is the sense of Congress that--
                (1) the United States' one China policy, as guided by the
            Taiwan Relations Act (Public Law 96-8; 22 U.S.C. 3301 et seq.),
            the Three Communiques between the United States and the
            People's Republic of China, and the Six Assurances provided by
            the United States to Taiwan in July 1982, is 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.

                  COOPERATION.

            (22 U.S.C. 3301 et seq.), the Secretary of Defense, in
            coordination with the Secretary of State and the head of any
            other relevant Federal department or agency, shall take

                    user with the applications content to the detriment of
                    the United States;
                        (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;

                    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;
                        (F) any known impact from prior use of the
                    application to Department personnel or operations; and

            mobile applications with malicious and banned capabilities 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 mobile application of
            concern of such country (regardless of device or owner) by--

                    or contractors whom the Secretary determines likely to
                    be a target of a foreign actor.

                (2) routinely update the categorical definitions and risk
            framework promulgated pursuant to subsection (a), at least on
            an annual basis; and
                (3) prescribe, if feasible, regulations that appropriately
            mitigate risks from applications on devices provided by the
            Department of Defense or on any device used during an activity
            described in subsection (b)(3)(B) or at locations described
            under (b)(3)(A).

            their presence through economic and military relations;
                (2) stability in the region has suffered, resulting in 8
            military coups in the Sahel region of Africa in just the last 4
            years;
                (3) this region serves as an important training ground for
            violent extremist organizations whose attacks spread across the
            African continent and the globe; and
                (4) United States Africa Command faces challenges in
            building strategic partnerships with African countries and
            bolstering stability on the continent.
        (b) Briefing Required.--Not later than March 1, 2025, the Secretary
    of Defense shall offer to all members of Congress a briefing on the
    adequacy of institutional capacity building in countries within the
    area of responsibility of the United States Africa Command to
    strengthen governance in the defense sectors of such countries. Such
    briefing shall also include, at a minimum, an analysis of programs and
    efforts of the Department of Defense focused on--
                (1) strategy and policy development;
                (2) budget development and execution;
                (3) human resource management systems;
                (4) logistics processes; and
                (5) recommendations to counter the influence of the
            People's Republic of China, Russia, and non-state violent
            extremist organizations through additional institutional
            capacity building in such countries by the Department.

    coalition key within the Baltic states for purposes of sharing
    ammunition for High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS) among
    such states for training and operational purposes.
        (b) Definition.--In this section, the term ``Baltic states''
    means--
                (1) Estonia;
                (2) Lithuania; and

    SEC. 3123. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING DEVELOPMENT OF STORAGE
                  FACILITIES FOR PERMANENT STORAGE OF NUCLEAR MATERIAL
                  WITHIN THE GREAT LAKES BASIN.

        It is the sense of Congress that the Government of the United
    States and the government of Canada should not develop storage
    facilities for the permanent storage of spent nuclear fuel, low-level
    or high-level nuclear waste, or military-grade nuclear material within
    the Great Lakes Basin.

    SEC. 3124. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON COMMITMENT TO NUCLEAR POWER.

        It is the sense of Congress that in order to achieve geopolitical
    energy leadership and secure American energy security in the years to
    come, Congress urges the Department of Defense to embrace and accept
    nuclear power as a clean baseload energy source that is easily
    compatible with other intermittent energy sources to ultimately achieve
    a reliable, secure, and resilient energy apparatus within the
    Department of Defense.

    SEC. 3125. SENSE OF CONGRESS SUPPORTING PROJECT PELE.

        It is the sense of Congress that--
                (1) Congress supports Project Pele, which seeks to develop,
            demonstrate, and deploy an advanced portable nuclear
            microreactor at Idaho National Laboratory by 2025; and
                (2) Project Pele will be critical in maintaining and
            bolstering United States national security by providing firm,
            reliable, clean, and dense baseload energy to power United
            States military bases and other distributed military
            operations, both domestically and abroad.

                (1) In general.--In making port infrastructure development
            grants under section 54301 of title 46, United States Code, for
            fiscal years 2025 and 2026 using funds appropriated after the
            date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of
            Transportation shall treat a project described in paragraph (2)
            as--
                        (A) having met the requirements of paragraph (1)
                    and (6)(A)(i) of section 54301(a) of such title; and
                        (B) an eligible project under paragraph (3) of such
                    section.
                (2) Project described.--A project described in this
            paragraph is a project to provide shore power at a port that
            services--
                        (A) passenger vessels described in section 3507(k)
                    of title 46, United States Code; and
                        (B) vessels that move goods or freight.
        (b) Categorical Exclusions.--
                (1) Reciprocal use of categorical exclusions.--Not later
            than 6 months after the date of enactment of this Act, the
            Secretary of Transportation shall issue a notice of proposed
            rulemaking to establish that the Maritime Administrator may
            approve any action qualifying as a categorical exclusion
            established by the Federal Highway Administration, the Federal
            Transit Administration, or the Federal Railroad Administration,
            as outlined in part 771 of title 23, Code of Federal
            Regulations, when the applicable requirements of that
            categorical exclusion have been met.
                (2) New categorical exclusions.--
                        (A) In general.--Not later than 6 months after the
                    date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall
                    publish a notice of proposed rulemaking to propose new
                    Maritime Administration categorical exclusions for port
                    authority projects that are in compliance with the
                    National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C.
                    4321 et seq.).
                        (B) Expanding list.--The Maritime Administration's
                    list of categorical exclusions may be expanded with the
                    goal of having a list that allows the Maritime
                    Administration to issue categorical exclusions that
                    maritime port authorities would typically use,
                    independently of the lists of other Department of
                    Transportation modal agencies, including categorical
                    exclusions that the Secretary determines would be
                    useful to maritime port authorities in the course of
                    Federal grant-funded projects.
                (3) Process for regular updates.--The Secretary shall
            include in the rule required by paragraph (2) a process by
            which the Maritime Administration will update the list of
            categorical exclusions to reflect lessons learned in grant
            administration and project construction that lead to new
            efficiencies in the requirements of the National Environmental
            Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.).
        (c) Application Timelines.--Section 54301(a)(5) of title 46, United
    States Code, is amended by adding at the end the following:
                        ``(C) Delayed notice of funding opportunity.--If an
                    amendment is made to a published solicitation for grant
                    applications such that an applicant would need the
                    information contained in the amendment to draft an
                    application, other than an amendment of the amount of
                    grant funding available, the Secretary shall extend the
                    application deadline by the number of days between the
                    initial solicitation and the amendment.''.
        (d) Project Budget Reviews.--Section 54301(a)(9) of title 46,
    United States Code, is amended--
                (1) in subparagraph (B) by striking ``and'' at the end;
                (2) in subparagraph (C) by striking the period at the end
            and inserting ``; and''; and
                (3) by adding at the end the following:
                        ``(D) grant contracts are approved efficiently by
                    the Secretary, minimizing delays for minor adjustments
                    to project scopes and budgets due to inflationary
                    effects on projects.''.
        (e) Staffing and Grant Timelines.--Section 54301(a)(11) of title
    46, United States Code, is amended by adding at the end the following:
                        ``(C) Administrative and oversight report.--Not
                    later than 365 days after the date of the enactment of
                    this subparagraph, and each year thereafter, the
                    Secretary shall submit to Congress a report on the
                    average length of grant obligation timelines and the
                    nature of any staffing shortages relevant to
                    administering this program.''.
