Note From the Director, Legislative Operations
This committee print consists of the enrolled text and
explanatory material for the National Defense Authorization Act
for Fiscal Year 2014 (H.R. 3304; Public Law 113-66).
This Act and the material found in this committee print are
the product of an agreement between the Chairman and Ranking
Member of the House Committee on Armed Services and the
Chairman and Ranking Member of the Senate Committee on Armed
Services on the reconciliation of H.R. 1960, as passed by the
House of Representatives on June 14, 2013, and S. 1197, as
reported out of committee on June 20, 2013. The Senate began
consideration of S. 1197 on November 18, 2013, but did not
complete consideration of S. 1197 and therefore was unable to
initiate a formal conference with the House.
In order to ensure the enactment of an annual defense bill
by the end of the calendar year, the Chairman and Ranking
Member of the House Committee on Armed Services and the
Chairman and Ranking Member of the Senate Committee on Armed
Services agreed to reconcile the provisions of H.R. 1960 and S.
1197, including a number of amendments submitted during the
Senate's consideration of its bill which were cleared by both
sides, but were not adopted by the Senate due to insufficient
time. The negotiated agreement was brought to the House Floor
in the form of an amendment to the Senate amendments to H.R.
3304, a Medal of Honor bill referred to the Committee on Armed
Services, which had previously passed in the House and was then
amended and passed by the Senate. On December 12, 2013,
pursuant to H. Res. 441, which provided for the concurrence by
the House in the Senate amendments to H.R. 3304, with an
amendment, the House considered and passed the negotiated
agreement by a vote of 350-69. On December 19, 2013, the Senate
agreed to the House amendment to the Senate amendment, and
passed the negotiated text, by recorded vote, 84-15. The
President signed the legislation on December 26, 2013, and it
became Public Law 113-66.
Because the House and Senate negotiators were unable to
convene a formal conference committee to reconcile the
differences in the respective versions of the bill, there is no
conference report and no formal ``joint explanatory statement
of the conference committee'' for H.R. 3304. Instead, Chairman
Howard P. ``Buck'' McKeon submitted a ``Joint Explanatory
Statement to Accompany the National Defense Authorization Act
for Fiscal Year 2014'' in the Congressional Record on December
12, 2013 (pages H7894-H8037). The text of the joint explanatory
statement is included in this committee print. Section 4 of
H.R. 3304 specifies that this explanatory material shall have
the same effect with respect to the implementation of this
legislation as if it were a joint explanatory statement of a
committee of conference.
In this committee print, the provisions of H.R. 1960, the
House-passed version of the National Defense Authorization Act
for Fiscal Year 2014, are generally referred to as ``the House
bill.'' The provisions of S. 1197, the Senate Committee on
Armed Services committee-reported version of the National
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014, and selected
manager's package amendments, are generally referred to as
``the Senate committee-reported bill.'' The final form of the
agreements reached during negotiations between the House and
the Senate are referred to as ``the agreement.''
The following pages are organized in the manner of a
traditional conference report.

the United States and as part of the broader theater
security and military plans of the geographic combatant
commanders of the United States;
(2) in deciding on the deployment of regional missile
defense assets and capabilities of the United States,
the Secretary of Defense should give priority
consideration to the capabilities needed to deter and
defend against the ballistic missile threat, including
the recommendations of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and
the priorities of the geographic combatant commanders
for meeting the operational needs of the commanders for
ballistic missile defense;
(3) such deployment decisions should take into
account all of the ballistic missile threats to the
forces, allies, and partners of the United States in
each region;
(4) the United States should encourage the allies and
partners of the United States to acquire and contribute
to integrated and complementary regional ballistic
missile defense capabilities--including coordination,
data sharing, and networking arrangements--and such
allied and partner capabilities should be taken into
account in deciding on the deployment of regional
missile defense capabilities of the United States; and

EXOATMOSPHERIC KILL VEHICLE.
It is the sense of Congress that the Secretary of Defense
should not procure a Capability Enhancement II exoatmospheric
kill vehicle for deployment until after the date on which a
successful intercept flight test of the Capability Enhancement
II ground-based interceptor has occurred, unless such
procurement is for test assets or to maintain a warm line for
the industrial base.

and for enhanced clinician decision support.
(3) Principles with respect to open architecture
standards, including--
(A) adoption of national data standards;
(B) if such national standards do not exist
as of the date on which the record is being
established, adoption of the articulation of
data of the Health Data Dictionary until such
national standards are established;
(C) use of enterprise investment strategies
that maximize the use of commercial best
practices to ensure robust competition and best
value;
(D) aggressive life-cycle sustainment
planning that uses proven technology insertion
strategies and product upgrade techniques;
(E) enforcement of system design
transparency, continuous design disclosure and
improvement, and peer reviews that align with
the requirements of the Federal Acquisition
Regulation; and
(F) strategies for data management rights to
ensure a level competitive playing field and
access to alternative solutions and sources
across the life-cycle of the programs.
(4) By the point of deployment, such record must be
at a generation 3 level or better for a health
information technology system.
(5) To the extent the Secretaries consider feasible
and advisable, principles with respect to--
(A) the creation of a health data
authoritative source by the Department of
Defense and the Department of Veterans Affairs

information;
(B) the ability of patients of both the
Department of Defense and the Department of
Veterans Affairs to download, or otherwise
receive electronically, the medical records of

remote, network-accessible computer storage
system to provide members of the Armed Forces
and veterans the ability to upload the health
care records of the member or veteran if the
member or veteran elects to do so and allow
medical providers of the Department of Defense
and the Department of Veterans Affairs to
access such records in the course of providing
care to the member or veteran.

publically available, and commercial data
sources, including social media, that provide
independent information pertinent to
adjudication guidelines and termination
standards to improve quality and timeliness,
and reduce costs, of investigations and

and evaluation of government and commercial
data sources that can identify and flag
information pertinent to hiring and clearance

technology to access databases containing such
reportable information to independently obtain

levels of classification and eliminates
technical barriers to rapid access to
information necessary for eligibility
determinations and reciprocal recognition
thereof, including the ability to monitor the
status of an individual and any events related
to the continued eligibility of such individual
for employment or clearance during intervals
between investigations.

or alteration of the schedule for, periodic
reinvestigations of cleared personnel, when
such action is appropriate in light of the
information provided by continuous monitoring
or evaluation technology.

security processes and information systems with
insider threat detection and monitoring
systems, and pertinent law enforcement,
counterintelligence and intelligence
information, for threat detection and
correlation, including those processes and

including information technology specialists or
other individuals with such broad access
commonly known as ``super users'';

(B) To rapidly reconstitute or replenish
critical space capabilities to preserve
continuity of operations capability.

defensive capabilities as undermining the overall
strategic balance, and stands ready to cooperate with
the Russian Federation on strategic defensive
capabilities, as long as such cooperation is aimed at
fostering and in no way constrains the defensive
capabilities of both sides'';
